IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements - A Closer Look
The International Accounting Standards Committee issued the International Accounting Standard 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The objective of IAS 1 is to prescribe the basis for presentation of general purpose financial statements (GPFS), to ensure comparability both with the entity's financial statements of previous periods and with the financial statements of other entities. The objective of GPFS is to provide information about the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions. This article presents a closer look of standard (objective, scope, specifications, components and disclosure requirements).Download Info

The gLite distribution is an integrated set of components designed to enable resource sharing. In other words, this is middleware for building a grid. The gLite middleware is produced by the EGEE project. The distribution model is to construct different services ("node-types") from these components and then ensure easy installation and configuration on the chosen platforms.
vzhaipd (scoyo's Virtuozzo/OpenVZ HA IP Daemon) is a set of mount/umount Container scripts for Parallels Virtuozzo or OpenVZ that will make sure a HA IP is always present on one of two or more Containers. You can think of it as the poor man's VRRP for Virtuozzo and OpenVZ Containers. Use it for general service availability, software load-balancer failover, etc.
weta-dfs is a distributed file system. It is designed to be fail-safe through replications of files, fast and easy to install, platform independent, and to have fast recovery from crashes. It consists of Data Node Servers and one Meta Data Server and a java.io.File-like client API.

Not hearing many good things about these products. Instead, consumers & OEMs are flocking to Google's chromebook products to get the "merged" tablet + laptop experience. Even though Intel chips appear in some chromebook models, the tradeoff is net loss for Intel. Expect Intel ASPs to go down significantly.
No excuses. Intel moved much too slowly to ensure socket wins on Android-based devices. No surprise that 2014 is looking like another bust.
HUGE deal - better terms than anyone expected for Apple. Would not want to be short.
Nice job on Merrifield MIA. Who is Intel trying to fool? Something is seriously wrong with Intel's mobile plans & they have not been forthcoming in disclosing this info to shareholders.
No one was buying the govt shutdown/uncertainty excuse. 3% is big miss in Intel's only growth segment.
Its game over. Qualcomm has too much of an ecosystem established for Intel to overcome. We can thank Paul O. for this failure.
Not good for Intel.
Not good. Expect the Bears to use his information & be out in full force next week to try to drive the price back to $20. Not good at all.
As my model predicted, INTC failed 3 or 4 times in terms of breaking resistance at $26. The last one after earnings was the back-breaker i'm afraid.
Russ is 1 of the best SA writers. Kudos to him for breaking down the Nexus 7 deal.
Brian K. tries to pull off a Steve Jobs "visionary" type of presentation & looked foolish. Brian K. - you are a manufacturing guy. Stick to the nuts & bolts & give us some tangible roadmaps to growth. Not pie-in-the-sky visions & "no conflict" nonsense.
All the other analysts/media are now picking up on his story without giving him due credit. He deserves better than this...
Calls out Intel. IMO, the only thing that will move INTC up in the short-term is massive cost-cutting like HP did when it was trading at $12. The revenue structure is totally mis-aligned with the cost structure. Hey Brian K., if you're really trying to max shareholder value, cut about 20% levels of employees/employees not carrying their weight.
Longs like JPMorgan are not going to let it fall. Raised price target today.
CFO sounding upbeat. Wow.
Intel's mobile strategy & execution has been a BUST, plain-and-simple. It will be years before there is any positive material impact on Intel's business. Hurting more than helping right now. The fact there has been no dividend increases approaching 2 years is noteworthy.
Putin will definitely annex after the Sunday vote & Obama will react badly as he always does...
The ARM business model for enterprise entry is dead, dead, dead.
Most of the hedge funds & big-boy option traders are placing big bullish bets. Sentiment has done a 180-degree turn - PCs have bottomed, Intel will be in tablets & smartphones in a big way in 2014, etc. My model says a breakout past 52-week highs towards 30, probably if Intel announces the Nexus win in a few weeks at CES. Ashraf has really done a great job changing sentiment - Intel should hire him!
$24 & $22 are the next 2 major support levels. If Brian K. has bad news next week, we could easily break both levels.

Soft for Digging announces the arrival of a major talent. A reclusive old man leaves his shack in a damp Maryland woods and hobbles deeper into the backcountry to see what became of his cat. The perverse creature stays always a few yards ahead of him, so that he doesn't notice right away that he's no longer alone. Over there beyond those spindly birches sits a car. A man has got out of the car, and a little girl who peers with disquieting intensity at the old duffer. Then, a few moments later (where did that damn cat go?) ... something happens. And what was already a creepily disquieting country morning turns into one of the most pervasively chilling horror movies you're ever likely to see. Practically a one-man movie crew, JT Petty has made the kind of assured film debut some of us have dreamed of in private moments, while walking in the fields, appreciating the textures of the atmospheric, everyday reality surrounding us, and wanting sometime to communicate the particular feel of that kind of day, that kind of quiet, that kind of anything-might-happen apprehensiveness. You know that he's looked at certain, seemingly inauspicious corners of his familiar landscape and thought, yeah, that's special; there's a movie scene in that. There's certainly a movie scene in one dream location, an isolated old monastery or school building or whatever-the-hell-it-is, that no production designer could ever hope to match. And you know, fully an hour of this barely-more-than-an-hour feature film goes by with only one word being pronounced. And that word is ... well, hear - and above all, see - for yourselves. -RTJ

We will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary next summer, and would like to find a nice destination in New England where we can celebrate with our four children, their spouses and thirteen grandchildren, ages three to fifteen. A spot with different activities for the various ages and maybe a golf course nearby would be nice.
Since we will have a total of twenty three people, price is a factor but we would like to make it special for all of us.
Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Being near a beach is great with kids. Wentworth is a good option.
Or you could do something like Smuggler's Notch in VT....lots of different outdoor activities for all ages.
The amount of people is going to limit you since many quainter locations won't be able to accommodate that many people during the summer. -

MARSHALL, Texas (AP) — A federal jury in Texas on Friday ordered Johnson & Johnson and a subsidiary to pay $482 million in damages to an inventor who claimed the health care giant infringed on his patent for a cardiac stent.
Jurors hearing the case in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas deliberated for two hours before returning the verdict against Johnson & Johnson and Cordis Corp.
Heart stents are mesh-wire tubes that prop open coronary arteries after surgery to remove fatty plaque. The dispute centered over Cordis' Cypher drug-eluting stents, which release a drug to help keep arteries from becoming blocked.
Bruce Saffran, a doctor from Princeton, N.J., sued the two companies in 2007, claiming the Cypher stents infringed on his 1997 patent covering technology to deliver injury-healing medication inside the body. Jurors concluded that Saffran proved that the Cypher stents infringed on his patent and that Johnson & Johnson and Cordis did so willfully — opening the door for the court to potentially triple the amount of damages.
Cordis officials said the company is "disappointed" with the jury's ruling.
"The company believes this is contrary to both the law and the facts set forward in the case. We will ask the judge to overturn this verdict and if unsuccessful, we plan to appeal the verdict," Cordis spokeswoman Sandra Pound said in a statement.

Planning a Funeral
Life Choices
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance.Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to pre-plan their own arrangements.
Please call us at 419-445-3556 to set up an appointment to discuss pre-planning with a caring professional.
Why Pre-Plan?
Peace of MindMany who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress.
Personal Choice
Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice. Pre-planning provides you with the time needed to make practical, detailed decisions that reflect your standards, lifestyle, taste and budget. And we assure you and your family that the choices you make will be carried out as planned.
Lower Costs
When you finalize your plan, we can advise you of the total cost. You do not have to set aside funds for your plan, but doing so protects you against escalating funeral costs. By locking in today's funeral costs and ensuring that the necessary funds are set aside, you help relieve yourself of unnecessary future worry and your survivors of an unexpected expense.
Immediate Arrangements
In Time of NeedWe understand that making the many decisions which come at a time of loss can be difficult. We offer our support by providing you with options as you consider making immediate arrangements.
Please call us at 419-445-3556 to make arrangements in person with a caring, professional Funeral Director.

Django Django – WOR from Jim Demuth on Vimeo.
Mercury music prize nominees Django Django became obsessed by the infamous Indian Well of Death riders in Allahabad. So, naturally, they asked Noisey if we'd be up for travelling over to India and standing right in the middle of large lumps of precariously speeding metal for a day, to film a video for their track "Wor". We happily obliged, getting our shoes stolen in the process, but it was worth it to meet a bunch of guys with the most rock solid testicles we've ever come across.
This influential design movement began because people got fed up with machines. The Arts and Crafts movement promoted economic and social reform, sticking up for ordinary workers and craftspeople.
In a bid to spread positivity, a group of Kuwaiti youth collaborated to create their own rendition of a worldwide phenomenon through a music video. A number of Kuwaiti residents, a long with contributors and volunteers, united to create a Kuwaiti version of Pharrell's first Billboard #1 hit "Happy" from the soundtrack of the movieDespicable Me 2. Other cities have also completed and released their videos including Dubai, Amman, Hong Kong, London, Amsterdam and scores more.
Now, Kuwait has joined forces with most countries in the world in creating its own version of the music video. Like many others, the Kuwaiti version of the "Happy" music video aims to promote positivity and embrace diversity throughout the interwoven fabric that creates this beautiful and colourful nation's spectrum. The optimistic song serves as a backdrop to many cheerful video contributions from more than 150 residents of Kuwait regardless of age, race, gender, cultural background or lifestyle.
The intention was to reengineer Pharrell's "Happy" song into an effective message locally by filming specified locations within the city as well as reintroducing "Free Kuwait" t-shirts which were worn during the Gulf War as people were demanding the liberation of their country. Today the youth are maintaining the atmosphere of liberation in spreading positivity and celebrating freedom of expression.
The video is the work of filmmaker Mohammad AlSaeed and is the idea of director Taibah AlQatami. It was shot at a number of locations around Kuwait during February 2014. Many contributions were personally submitted for inclusion and have been incorporated into the music video. The project is done under Weoritu, which is a global institution that promotes positive change through the medium of art.
Join the air of positivity that "Happy" provides and spread the cheer with us! Also, share your happy moments on #HappyQ8
The recipe is really simple: put 300-500 Auks into the hollowed-out body cavity of a seal and press out as much air as possible. Cover the seal with a large rock pile for 3-18 months and eat the Auks raw.

Describing Basel in one word is far from simple.

The Mama Shelter franchise is fast becoming a household name around the boutique hotel circles. The baby of world-renowned designer Philippe Starck, the name Mama Shelter now resonates as a general good time in comparison to other hoteliers, especially in Europe. The Lyon hotel is the epitome of that ambiance. It's utalitarian with being stale and colorful without being overbearing. There are modern hotels all around the world, but there are few postmodern hotels like this one.
The location is not central, but this works perfectly in a medium-sized European city like Lyon. A few steps away from the center of France's third-largest city and the birthplace of cinema. The walk to the center is pleasant, easy and direct. Also, the non-central location makes for better views and a surprisingly quiet stay.
The hotel's bar and restaurant are the focal point of the stay. It's decorated with swimming pool kitsch and an air of playfulness. It is also one of the best places in the city to have a sunday morning brunch. The dinner dishes are fast, yet tasty. It does get rowdy during the weekend, so if you are a social bee – it's definitely the place to be!
The service was up to par. The reception is not that of a conventional style (it serves as a concierge and the reception like most boutique hotels), however, the receptionists are more than eager to help, whether in translating or booking a cab ride/restaurant. There is no unnecessary frill here. Plus, the rooms are very well-priced for a hotel of this kind.
This is one of the best hotels in Lyon, France. Also, it is the most youthful and uplifting in its ambiance. Even if you are not staying at Mama Shelter Lyon, you have to visit it during your time in Lyon.
Going into space has always been an adventure for the elite — but that may soon be changing, as we count down to the launch of a new industry: Space tourism.

By Ed Richter
Staff Writer
It's been two years since the Lakota school district has placed a tax issue on the the ballot. Since then, the district has tightened its belt financially by making $20.8 million in cuts.
Lakota is asking voters to approve a 5.5-mill continuing combination levy for operating costs and permanent improvements in the Nov. 5 general election.
School officials said 3.5 mills of the combination levy would raise an additional $8.8 million for operating expenses and the remaining 2.0 mills would be for permanent improvements that would generate an additional $5 million. The revenues generated for permanent improvements can only be used for capital improvement projects such as building construction or renovations as well as equipment and vehicle purchases and other items with an estimated life of five or more years. It cannot be used for operating expenses such as utilities, salaries and benefits.
Officials said it would cost an additional $192 a year or $16 a month for a property owner of a home for each $100,000 of valuation on top of what residents are already paying in property taxes.
The last time voters approved an operating levy for the district was in 2005. Since then, they have rejected three previous tax issues.
"This is a lesson in wants and needs," said Libby Willms, who chairs the committee supporting the levy. "It's time (to address these needs)."
"I think over the past two years the district has made cuts," she said. "These cuts affect the students of their opportunities and receiving a quality education. We need to make sure our supporters understand that urgency and encourage them to vote for the levy."
Willms said she knows there are many people who support the levy.
"The community is supportive of our schools but a majority of people in the district don't vote," she said.
District officials said Lakota's spending per pupil has decreased by 8 percent between 2010 and 2012.
If the operating levy is approved, district officials said it would provide an additional $4.45 million to preserve current programming and operations; $1.2 million in technology upgrades; $350,000 to cover the costs for seven additional resource officers in the buildings; and an additional $2.8 million to upgrade and improve student academics, opportunities and services such as expanded bus service for grade school students who live more than one mile from their buildings; advanced technologies and modernized coursework; adding a class period a day for ninth grade students instead of the current six periods a day; one additional day of art, music and physical education for students in grades four through sixth; and increased extracurricular participation.
The additional $5 million in permanent improvement funding would be used for a multi-year upgrade in technology for updated equipment and support services; safety and security modifications for each building; and the upkeep and maintenance for the district's 25 buildings.
Dan Varney of the No Lakota Levy group disagrees with what the district is saying about the proposed levy and said there is no need for additional taxes.
Varney pointed out that the district is experiencing declining enrollment and will see new revenue streams that will be coming online in the next few years such as five new hotels that are being planned as well as the $450 million Liberty Town Center project. In addition, he said the district is already receiving proceeds from the Horseshoe Casino in Cincinnati and is also slated to receive additional school funding from the state for 2014 and 2015.
"The total spending on their financial sheet are not the same numbers they are claiming," Varney said. "They should be able to balance their budget."
He is also skeptical that the district will follow through in restoring busing.
"Busing has been an issue but they want to blend it in with other things," Varney said. "There may be partial restoration, but they are not going to restore all busing."
He said the district is also trying to capitalize on the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary last year for the $350,000 to cover the costs of additional school resource officers.
Varney said there should be more people upset about the tax proposal, as 62 percent of the property taxes goes to the school district.
"It's a real tragedy for senior citizens who have lived here for 30 or 40 years," he said. "People are already struggling."

ruby 1.8.7 does not compile well under Lion and Xcode 4.2. I'd like to know whether ruby 1.9.2-p290 fully supports rails 2.3.5 and/or 2.3.11?
It's more a question if Rails is supported on Ruby 1.9.2 - but yes, it should run fine on Ruby 1.9.2 - also you need to ensure that Gems you are intending to run work on both Rails 2.3.x and Ruby 1.9.x which will be down to each gem individually. |
There were some problems with the new encoding features in 1.9.2 in some older versions of rails. You should use the newest version of rails 2.3.x also for security reasons... |
Another (slightly older) resource for checking out whether your associated gems might work is IsItRuby19. It hasn't been getting as much traffic as it did in the past, but when assessing whether Rails 2.x apps would work on 1.9.x Ruby, it might help flesh out the rest of your stack. It has a few notes about the Rails gem set-proper (somewhat stale), and some current notes about many other common gems. Might save some research time or get pointers before tracking down lots of release notes. |

Paw Print Parade Flip Flops
For one week only, for every pair of Paw Print Parade Flip Flops purchased, an extra $5 will be donated to care for dogs rescued from the illegal meat trade!
A desperate situation on the border of Thailand has resulted from a government intervention in the illegal dog meat trade. In a positive development, thousands of dogs were recently rescued by Thai authorities while being transported to Vietnam for dog meat. But these dogs need help recovering from their ordeal. The demand for dog meat from Thailand comes from restaurants and meat markets in Vietnam, and is strong enough that thieves routinely steal family pets as well as street dogs. Our trusted partners Humane Society International and the Soi Dog Foundation, along with Animals Asia and Change for Animals, have formed the Asia Canine Protection Alliance (ACPA). The ACPA is committed to improving the welfare of dogs in the region by ending the illegal trade in dogs for human consumption - a trade which represents a severe and prevalent animal welfare concern, and a risk to human health by facilitating the transmission of rabies and other diseases. The alliance is helping these animals right now.

Did you enjoy watching the Olympics? We sure did! So much so that tomorrow's episode of The Playbook we will be talking about the Olympics, Hockey, and the Canadian spirit.
He may not have won the MVP award at the Sochi Olympics but he is definitely Canada's MVP. Goaltender Carey Price made 24 saves in the Gold medal game against Sweden ensuring Team Canada's win. It was also Price's second straight shutout win. Can we just take a moment to enjoy how awesome that is! Go Canada Go!
I have to say one the funniest things to come out of the 2014 Olympics was the "Loser Keeps Bieber" billboard in Skokie, situated just outside of Chicago. I wonder how the USA is handling their double loss?
But let's get back to what's happening tomorrow on The Playbook…
Our host, Wesley Keeley, will be doing a live on-air interview with a hockey referee to talk about the pressures of the job.
Were you up at 5am Sunday morning for the Canada vs. Sweden Gold medal Hockey Game? Holly Abuda was and she got the full experience of what it means to be Canadian.
Then join Sarah Tone and Kieran Moolchan, who will be going head-to-head in today's Face Off, to debate the cost of spending during the Olympics – is it worth it? They will also be debating about sportsmanship at the Olympics – should it be more competitive, is it "ok" to be "nice" to other teams/players/countries?
- What are your thoughts one Canadian cross-country ski coach Justin Wadsworth helping out Russian athlete Anton Gafarov?
Don't forget to join in on the What the Puck rant with Marshal Fries.

Upcoming on In The Now
This week's episode of In The Now is almost here. Our team of dedicated writers has been busy at work finding current and interesting topics to discuss this Tuesday.
Here are some of the things you can look forward to.
Your host for the show, Matt Allen, will guide you through the hour introducing our reporters and debaters. He'll also have a chance to interview Judy Wasylycia-Leis and ask her questions about Winnipeg's Mayor Sam Katz, the state of the city, and her career plans for the future.
Reporter Scott Best will tell you all the most interesting news from the Walking With Our Sisters exhibit at the Urban Shaman Gallery, and reporter Meg Crane will be live on location somewhere in Downtown Winnipeg bringing you the latest news on a current issue happening in our city. Later in the show Jon Wilson will share his beef with the recent police raids on some of Winnipeg's head shops.
Our debaters Jared Gauthier and Alex Wenger will duke it out in the Valentine's Day debate. Is the holiday just another Hallmark cash-grab, or is it a meaningful occasion that couples appreciate? Are there any benefits to being single on Feb 14, or are you screwed if you're alone? Is it okay to break up with someone on V-Day, or is it a universal no-no?
And our podcasters for the week are Luke Jacob Thiessen and Stephanie Thiessen. The topic for their show is unknown at the moment, but if you're interested in listening to some of our past podcasts, you can check out Box Office, Winnipeg Eats, and Gender Slam.
Be sure to tune in to In The Now this Tuesday at 11 a.m. here on the Red River Radio website or through the TuneIn Radio app available for iPhones, Andriods, and BlackBerrys, as well as a number of tablets. Click here to see if your mobile device or car supports the app. That's right, I said car.
As always, be a part of the conversation and tweet us at @rrcradio with the hash tag #InTheNow.
Everyone has their own way to celebrate
Everyone has their own way of celebrating significant moments in their lives. Some go for the spotlight, others appreciate the vast pieces of memorabilia that come along with it, and then there's those who appreciate the more subtle (and even) unspoken meaning that, when appreciated, means that much more.
Now that the Winter Olympics are officially underway, people are not only celebrating but they're finding innovative new ways to do it. And believe it or not, there's an app for that, too.
Sochi Olympics-themed apps are now available for download – some free, some paid – and they range from media alerts and game results to interactive visuals and insights on the game itself. You can now put yourself in the shoes of an Olympic athlete and catch a 360-degree view of the sport happening around you, and then check out the game results after and feel like you're a part of the team.
And then there's the cowbell. Yes, a Sochi-Olympic cowbell app – with 3 different cowbell sounds to choose from, a built-in media counter, and a custom design to your country's flag. Add this to your phone and you can ring the digital cowbell, to the victory of your country's team, with all the other cowbellers in the world! Pretty awesome way to celebrate, if you ask me.
And then there's the Molson Beer Fridge Project:
Molson Canadian sent two friends, Ryan and Phil, to the Gili Islands in Indonesia to meet their friend Morgan and personally deliver the "authentic Canadian Olympic experience": a red fridge, fully stocked with Molson Canadian, and a satellite dish.
For 3 days, Ryan and Phil travelled by plane, car, horse-buggy, canoe, outrigger, and on foot throughout different parts of Indonesia – all caught on hand-held video cameras – until they finally reached the Gili Islands. And when they finally reached Morgan's bungalow, you witness a heart-warming, emotional reunion between three friend who have been reunited for their love of hockey (and Molson Canadian, of course!)
And then there's the rest of us: plugged into the games online, on-air, or anywhere with a view. Either way, we're all amongst friends and are cheering and celebrating the same thing: for Canada to win the game and for its athletes to come home with the gold.

Kids dance, eat and stay in school
In just over 24 hours In the Now goes on air. Are you ready?
Something exciting is brewing at Cinematheque. And our host Jacob Thiessen has someone coming to chat about it.
Little kids were out of their chairs and shaking in the gym last week. Marney Blunt has the story that might just have you doing the same.
Speaking of kids, did you know some daycares and schools now have strict policies on what parents can and must pack their children for lunch? Natasha Woloschuk has quite the opinion on that and she plans to share it tomorrow.
Matt Allen and Jesse Marks got on the topic of whether or not children should be in Kindergarten all day, and they're going to have it out on air tomorrow.
While all this is going on, Brendan Macgranachan and Jared Gauthier will be talking movies for their podcast, Box Office, which will be posted on Red River Radio tomorrow afternoon.
Tune in, Tweet and have a great day!
This Tuesday on The Playbook
We'll be live on The Playbook at 2pm this Tuesday for another jam-packed episode about our favourite topic: SPORTS!
What you can expect to hear on the episode:
Should girls be allowed to play "boys" sports? Can a girl be a football player? On the same token, what if a guy wants to take up cheerleading? Ad man Marshal Fries and PR gal Amanda Trunzo will be going head-to-head in a heated debate about this topic. There may be tears. And squashed pom poms.
The Winnipeg Jets have been playing pretty darn well lately. But media production major and hockey aficionado Jesse Pelletier believes that despite their recent success, they won't make the playoffs. He'll tell you all about why he feels this way tomorrow, Rick Mercer style. Disagree with him? Don't hesitate to let us know. Tweet us at @rrcradio with your opinion. We promise Jesse won't be offended.
Advertising is all about tapping into the minds of consumers and figuring out what makes them tick. Sponsors at Winnipeg Jets games are starting to realize that, and are incorporating more and more hockey culture into their advertising and branding in hopes of becoming more engaged with fans. PR maven Megan Funnell will be talking to Scotiabank, Toyota, and Veritas (who represent Subway) about why.
Canadians love the Super Bowl. Canadians love Super Bowl ads. But what does an American guy who works in marketing have to say about the multi-million dollar advertisements? Get your 50,000 calories worth of wings, potato skins, and stuffed jalapeno poppers ready. Neil Reimer has that story on the show on Tuesday.
You won't want to miss this one, so mark your agendas. This Tuesday at 2pm on The Playbook. In the mean time, watch this adorable Super Bowl ad by Budweiser. Puppies!
Eat your greens and get your sports
The two single most important pieces of advice you'll ever receive in life…
One: Always eat your green vegetables.
Two: Tune into the Playbook on Tuesday at 2p.m., for sports, sports, sports and you guessed it-more sports.
Why? Because sports is kind of like math. You use it every day of your life-probably even more so.
So basically, we're just preparing you for the real world.
This week we have our very own Sarah Tone, who will be hosting this week's show. So here's a sneak peak for what's to come….
Neil Reimer will be reporting on the Jets' top rookies: Jacob Trouba and Mark Scheifele and their overall claim to fame in the NHL.
The Playbook will be doing a live interview with former CreComm grad, Kyle Jahns who will be giving us the scoop about reporting in Sochi, Russia for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
We will also be chatting with director of the Northwestern Hockey Sports Camp, Larry Bumstead. Bumstead is a Hockey Canada certified coach with over 26 years of hockey development and coaching experience. He has coached at many different levels within minor hockey, including the University of Manitoba Bison Men.
We'll be hearing from Kieran Moolchan a little bit later in the show. Moolchan will be reporting live from the MTS to share with us the latest Jets news.
Also, Stefanie Cutrona will be telling us why college athletes should be paid.
Erika Miller and Dan Wiebe will be debating about whether or not unhealthy food should be served at sports games…we'll chew on that a bit later in the show.
And don't miss Megan Funnell and Amanda Trunzo's podcast about celebrity news: updates, trends, and the impact of fame on athletes.
Also here's what's coming up in the world of sports this week:
On Tuesday at 7p.m. the Jets will be taking on the Nashville Predators at the MTS Centre.
For basketball, the Pelicans will be competing against the Cavaliers at 6p.m., today.
On Sunday the Jets will be playing against the Chicago Blackhawks in Illinois at the United Center.
The Super Bowl's back on Sunday. So find a living room and a plate of nachos to watch the Seattle Seahawks take on the Denver Broncos.
But most importantly, stay tuned to our feature presentation on Tuesday at 2p.m….because remember, sports=life, your life.
Don't forget to tweet at us @redriverradio and use the hashtag #ThePlaybook!
An eclectic mix of interesting stories
On Jan. 28 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., In the Now will engage you in interesting stories about the latest news, including a heated protest at the University of Winnipeg, 'good racists', Bitcoins, and one Winnipeg man who started with a dog Milk-Bone and hopes to end up with thousands of dollars by December of next year.
Live on In the Now, two students will go head-to-head in a debate over whether the protest at First Nations leader Phil Fontaine's scheduled speech at the University of Winnipeg on Wednesday was justifiable or inappropriate.
In the "Good Racist" segment, a student will rant about how good people in Winnipeg have no idea that some of the comments they make about immigrants are racist. The student will shed insight into lives that new Canadians left behind to live in freezing cold Winnipeg.
On a lighter note, Best Sleep Centre in Winnipeg offers a new way to pay: by Bitcoins. This digital currency is an instant transaction that comes at a low cost. Joining us on the show is Josh Nekrep, the founder of Bitcoin Winnipeg — a group of local Bitcoin enthusiasts.
And while the digital currency is based on trust, so is a new fundraiser by Winnipeg's Ryan DeLong, who hopes to end up with a large cheque by December 2014 in exchange for a dog treat. DeLong started with a Milk-Bone in December 2013, which he traded with something bigger and better, which he will trade for something else that's bigger and better. He will keep doing this for a year until he will hold an auction for the last item and the proceeds from the highest bid will go toward World Society for the Protection of Animals, a charity dedicated to animal welfare. As of Saturday, he's looking to trade something bigger and better than a one-week stay at the Desert Breeze Condos in Phoenix Arizona!
Also tune into Winnipeg Eats, Red River Radio's newest foodie program. The first episode will break down the top five cheap, moderate and high priced places to eat in Winnipeg. Tune in to hear what you, the listeners, chose as your favourite restaurants!
Tweet us @rrcradio to join the conversation and use the hashtag #IntheNow.

The Protected Areas Thematic Network brings together the main governmental and non-governmental organisations working on PA data management in the region in order to promote the more effective sharing of information on protected areas within and between the countries of the Americas Hemisphere, building on and contributing to existing global experience in this area through close collaboration with the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas and the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre.

Resource Type: Tools / ApplicationsThese posters celebrate:
* The International Year of Ecotourism (2002)
* The International Year of Mountains (2002)
* The International Year of Freshwater (2003)
This poster series was created to highlight issues in mountain biodiversity, in celebration of the International Year of Mountains, 2002.
Resource Type: PostersThese posters, about Mountain Protected Areas and Indigenous Community Conserved Areas, were created for the 10th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity, October 2010.
Resource Type: Posters
This report is a contribution to the UN's International Year of Biodiversity and is a complement to the UNEP-hosted Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) which is bringing visibility to the wealth of the world's natural capital. It documents over 30 successful case studies referencing thousands of restoration projects ranging from deserts and rainforests to rivers and coasts. The report confirms that restoration is not only possible but can prove highly proftable in terms of public savings; returns and the broad objectives of overcoming poverty and achieving sustainability. It also provides important recommendations on how to avoid pitfalls and how to minimize risks to ensure successful restoration.

Resource Type: Tools / ApplicationsIn 2008, the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted scientific criteria for identifying ecologically or biologically significant marine areas in need of protection on the open oceans and deep seas.
While much scientific discovery lies ahead, available information and current and emerging methodologies already allow us to begin identifying oceanic features that are likely of particular ecological or biological importance.
Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs) are managed areas that are voluntarily conserved by local or indigenous communities for conservation and cultural purposes. This handbook is intended as a guide for those who wish to learn about ICCAs and the newly developed ICCA Registry tool, which aims to develop awareness, recognition and documented values of ICCAs through a community-supported database, maps and an interactive, multimedia website. Communities who govern and manage ICCAs will find this handbook particularly helpful to understand how they can contribute to and benefit from the Registry if they wish. This handbook adheres to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and supports the application of bio-cultural community protocols in maintaining the integrity of community knowledge and resources.
Resource Type: ReportsThe IUCN Summit on Protected Area Management Categories was held in Almeria, Spain in May 2007. It aimed to test the opinions of key thinkers and policy makers regarding the revision of guidelines to interpretation of the six IUCN protected area categories. The meeting was generously supported by the Junta de Andalusia, the Spanish Ministry of Environment and the foundation Biodiversidad. The meeting operated through plenary sessions and a series of specialised workshops, with many presentations and time for detailed discussion. There were two field trips, midway through the meeting and at the end. More than a hundred people attended from over fifty countries around of the world.

When Nita Mohr read a Tribune article about the Ellinwood Quilting Club making 50 "Little Dresses for Africa," she was inspired. Nita and twin sister, Rita Roblyer, regular members of Great Bend Central Baptist Church, Friday Arts and Crafts group, decided that their group could make 200 dresses. Other church members and friends enthusiastically joined the effort to bring hope to girls, "changing lives one little dress at a time." They started transforming gently used pillowcases into simple sundresses. After exhausting their pillowcase supply, the ladies continued making dresses with donated fabric and trims.
Trinity United Methodist Church held a Back to School Block Party on Aug. 28. More than 200 hot dogs were served. The community was especially generous in its response to the coat drive. Coats are being accepted at the church (Broadway and Patton) from 9 a.m.-noon through the end of the week.

A thrilling finish to a series decider in Antigua
West Indies needed 216 to beat Pakistan in Antigua, but looked dead in the water at 197 for 9 as
Courtney Walsh strode out swinging his arms. But his captain, Jimmy Adams, was still there, and drip by drip (Adams' 48 not out came in almost six hours, with not a single boundary) they saw West Indies to the ninth one-wicket win in Test history. It shouldn't have been so: replays showed Walsh was caught via bat and pad off Saqlain Mushtaq, who then missed two clear run-out chances, one of them a sitter when Adams and Walsh ended up at the same end. Wasim Akram, who had put the burgeoning match-fixing scandal aside to bowl heroically for figures of 11 for 110, was the unluckiest of losers.
The beginning of the inaugural Test at Edgbaston, and England picked an XI who all had first-class centuries to their name. It was also, according to some very good judges, including Frank Keating, the greatest team they have ever picked: Archie MacLaren, CB Fry, Ranji, FS Jackson, Johnny Tyldesley, Dick Lilley, George Hirst, Gilbert Jessop, Len Braund, Bill Lockwood and Wilfred Rhodes. Rhodes - a man who scored almost 40,000 first-class runs - was some No. 11. He made 38 not out, and with Tyldesley cracking 138, England made 376 for 9 declared. That was worth plenty more on a pitch so poor that Australia were then skittled for 36, their lowest Test score. Rhodes took 7 for 17, but as England moved in for a quick second-innings kill, rain ruined the last day and the match was drawn.
Having already qualified for the Super Six stage by demolishing all comers, South Africa were probably not overly concerned when they lost their final group game against Zimbabwe in Chelmsford. But the repercussions were considerable: as well as knocking England out, it meant that South Africa carried two fewer points to the Super Six stage. With those two points, they would have finished above Australia in the Super Sixes and things might have turned out quite different.
But for his namesake Deryck, David Murray, the West Indian keeper, who was born today, would surely have played many more than 19 Tests. He was talented behind the wicket and a capable batsman who made three Test
fifties and a first-class double hundred, in Jamshedpur on the 1978-79 tour of India. He took over from Deryck Murray - they were not related - in 1980-81, and was briefly No. 1, but he was banned from playing cricket in the West Indies after he went on a rebel tour to South Africa, and his last Test appearance came at Sydney in 1981-82.
Talat Ali, who was born today, played ten Tests for Pakistan in the 1970s, but he is better known as a match referee. Talat was a dogged opener who got his Test career off to a traumatic start when he fractured his thumb on debut, facing Dennis Lillee in Adelaide in 1972-73. Pakistan won only one of his ten matches, when he made 40 and a Test-best 61 in Christchurch in 1978-79.
Birth of the first man to be dismissed in a Test. Australian allrounder Nat Thomson was bowled by Yorkshire's Allen Hill for 1 at the MCG in the inaugural Test in 1876-77, but within three weeks his Test career was over. Thomson was dropped after the second Test, despite having made 41 in the second-innings of a match where no Australian reached 50. He died in his native Sydney in 1896.
On the same day that Thomson was born, so was Edward James "Ned" Gregory. He also played in that first Test, and became the first batsman to fall for a duck in a Test. It was his only appearance. His son Syd, who was born on the site of the SCG, later captained Australia. Ned was curator at the SCG for 30 years, where he died in 1899.
