Maisonneuve was named Canada's Magazine of the Year—Print at the conclusion of the awards presentation. The Montreal-based, English-language quarterly of arts, culture and ideas was nominated for a total of 9 NMAs this year, and added a Silver award in the category Art Direction for a Single Magazine Article to the prestigious Magazine of the Year award, which it also won in 2004.
TodaysParent.com, the online companion of Today's Parent magazine, was named Magazine of the Year—Digital. Heather Robertson received the Foundation Award for Outstanding Achievement. Liam Casey was named Best New Magazine Writer and The Coveteur was named Best New Visual Creator (see more below).
The Walrus led all magazines with 6 Gold and 6 Silver awards. This is the 8th consecutive year in which The Walrus has either had the most or tied for the most Gold awards, and the seventh time during that span in which they've won the most total awards (Gold and Silver combined).
The Grid – new to the NMAs this year after launching in May 2011 – won 4 Gold and 2 Silver awards. Toronto Life won 4 Gold awards and 1 Silver, followed by Report on Business (3 Gold, 4 Silver), L'actualité (3 Gold, 2 Silver), explore (3 Gold, 1 Silver), Sportsnet (2 Gold) and The New Quarterly / Arc Poetry Magazine (2 Gold).

Leading all individual winners with 3 Gold awards was Art Director Vanessa Wyse of The Grid, who swept the all three of the design categories Magazine Covers, Art Direction for a Single Magazine Article, and Art Direction for an Entire Issue. In each case the celebrated article/issue was The Grid's May 19, 2011 issue "Got Spunk?" This is the first time that one publication has swept these three categories since 1998 (Shift magazine).
The most decorated individual article of the evening was "Where Asbestos is Just a Fact of Life" by John Gray and Stephanie Nolen (Report on Business), which was nominated for a record 5 awards and won Gold in Business, Silver in Politics & Public Interest, and Honourable Mention in Health & Medicine, Investigative Reporting, and Science, Technology & the Environment.
The article "Camping 101" by Kevin Callan and Ryan Stuart in explore was a double Gold winner in the integrated category Single Service Article Package and the written category How-To. This is the third straight year that explore has won Gold in Single Service Article Package, and the third time overall that the magazine has won Gold in How-To.
The award for Best Single Issue went to "Gros" from Urbania, the Montreal-based arts quarterly which won this award for the second year in a row.
Dominique Forget of L'actualité led all writers with 5 nominations for 5 different articles, and won Gold in Service: Personal Finance & Business ("Impôts: la colère monte").
Paul Wilson was perhaps the most unique writer celebrated, as he won both Gold and Silver in the category One-of-a-Kind for "Adrift on the Nile" (The Walrus) and "The Archivist" (The Walrus).
The Gold award in the integrated category Words & Pictures went to the editorial team at Toronto Life for "Going Mobile."
The new magazine Eighteen Bridges won its first National Magazine Award when Don Gillmor was named the Gold winner in Arts & Entertainment ("All In"). The article, also nominated in Personal Journalism, examines the great career of the late Paul Quarrington, a 5-time NMA winner. This is Gillmor's 10th National Magazine Award. Eighteen Bridges had 10 nominations this year.
Illustrator Byron Eggenschwiler won Gold in Spot Illustration ("Post-Secondary Distress" in More) and Silver in Illustration ("Death of the Salesman" in Canadian Business). This is Eggenschwiler's second Gold for Spot Illustration, and he now holds 5 National Magazine Awards. Selena Wong ("Meet You at the Door"; The Walrus) won her first National Magazine Award after winning the Gold for Illustration.
In Photojournalism & Photo Essay, the Gold award went to "In the Shadow of the Oilsands" by Ian Willms, published in This Magazine. Donald Weber took the top prize in Creative Photography for "Quniqjuk, Qunbuq, Quabaa" in Canadian Art. DesignLines won its first-ever National Magazine Award with a Gold in Still-Life Photography for "From: To:" by Naomi Finlay. Photographer Daniel Ehrenworth took the Gold award for Portrait Photography for "Project Privacy" in Cottage Life. He won the Silver in this category last year.
In the Fashion category, Flare won Gold for the third year in a row, and in fact swept Gold and Silver. Photographer Chris Nicholls, art director Tanya Watt and stylist Fiona Green took Gold for "Your Majesty." The same photographer/art director duo joined stylist Elizabeth Cabral in winning Silver with "Nature of Prints."
For the first time this year, Beauty was awarded as a separate category from Fashion, and Sharp won the Gold for "Fragrances" (Art Direction by Adam Taylor; Photography by Adrian Armstrong).
The Homes & Gardens category saw a sweep by Canadian House & Home, with "Among the Treetops" winning Gold (Mandy Milks, Michael Graydon, Suzanne Dimma) and "Mindfully Minimal" taking Silver.
Economist Pierre Fortin won Gold in Columns for his regular column "Économie" in L'actualité. This is the third year that Fortin has won Gold in this category (he also won in 2003 and 2007), which matches Robert Fulford and Benoît Aubin for the most all time in Columns.
In Editorial Package, Toronto Life ("The Digital Issue") and The Grid ("A Chef's Guide to Toronto") tied for the Gold award.
"What You Don't Know About Stephen Harper" by Paul Wells and John Geddes (Maclean's) took the Gold award for Politics & Public Interest.
In the Humour category, Scott Feschuk won his second National Magazine Gold Award for "A Reading from the Book of Tebow" (Sportsnet). In fact, Feschuk defeated himself in this category, as he was also nominated for two other articles this year in Humour.
Brett Popplewell's article "The Team that Disappeared" won Gold in Sports & Recreation for Sportsnet, which in its first year at the NMAs (after launching in September 2011) received 4 nominations, including one of three finalist spots for Magazine of the Year (Print)
Alison Motluk won Gold for Investigative Reporting ("A Political Meltdown"; The Walrus). Motluk won Silver in this category last year.
The Walrus swept the Society category, with Katherine Ashenburg's "The Long Goodbye" winning the Gold. Also from The Walrus, "Madam Premier" by Lisa Gregoire won Gold in Profiles.
Catherine Dubé won her 7th National Magazine Award when she took Gold in the category Service: Health & Family ("Demain, des centres à 7$ par jour pour les vieux?"; L'actualité).
Nathan Vanderklippe's "A Pipleline Runs Through It" (Report on Business) won Gold in Science, Technology & the Environment. The same article also won Honourable Mention in Business and in Travel.
Charles Wilkins won his 3rd Gold National Magazine Award, this year taking the top prize in the Travel category for "The Big Blue" in explore.
The article "Quand je serai plus là, qui va s'occuper de mes poissons?" by Pascale Millot from Québec Science was the Gold winner in Health & Medicine.
The Gold award in Personal Journalism went to Anne Marie Lecomte for "Parti sans bruit" (Châtelaine).
Chris Nuttall-Smith won Gold in Service: Lifestyle for "Where to Eat Now" in Toronto Life. This is Nuttall-Smith's 4th individual National Magazine Award.
In the category Best Short Feature—under 2000 words—there was a tie for Gold between Heather O'Neill ("When Your Mother is a Stranger"; Chatelaine) and JJ Lee ("On the First Time He Told a Girl She Was Beautiful"; ELLE Canada).
In 2011 the literary magazines The New Quarterly and Arc Poetry Magazine published a joint issue, and from the pages of this issue Alice Major won Gold in the Essays category ("The Ultraviolet Catastrophe") and Matthew Holmes won Gold in Poetry ("The Failing of Purity").
Event magazine – the thrice-yearly literary review from Douglas College – swept the awards in the Fiction category for the second consecutive year, with Bill Gaston ("Four Corners") winning Gold and Wayde Compton ("The Instrument") taking the Silver.
Today's Parent (TodaysParent.com) won the award for Magazine of the Year—Digital. The judges lauded the site's clean layout, which exudes calmness and utilizes various typeface styles to direct the reader to different features. In branding, it's perfectly aligned with its print parent and creates added value for its users with interactivity, relevance and overall quality.
For the second consecutive year, The Walrus magazine won the Gold award for Best Digital Design for its companion site WalrusMagazine.com. FashionMagazine.com took the Silver.
The popular TorontoLife.com production "TIFF.to," which covers the annual Toronto International Film Festival, won the Gold for Best Multimedia Feature. FashionMagazine.com's "At the Shows / Spring 2012" won Silver.
Liam Casey won the award for Best New Magazine Writer for his article "Suicide Notes" in the Ryerson Review of Journalism. Said the NMAF judges: "In a rare combination of eloquent personal journalism and meticulous reporting, Liam Casey has confronted a highly charged question that has been dodged for so long – the practice in newsrooms of non-reporting of suicide. With tremendous honesty he has put himself inside the story of the pain of depression and emerged with a strong commentary on journalism. Not many writers have made such an impact with one of their first pieces."
The award for Best New Visual Creator went to The Coveteur, for its photography layout "Gifts" in Report on Business. Said the NMAF judges: "A tasteful curation of photographs that succeed in magnifying the desirability of objects, The Coveteur's 'Gifts' are a perfect balance of style and composition. The look and feel engages the viewer effortlessly, which speaks to the impressive talent of this young trio: stylist Stephanie Mark, designer Erin Kleinberg, and photographer Jake Rosenberg. We'll be seeing lots more of their work in the future.
Heather Robertson received the Foundation Award for Outstanding Achievement during the presentation of the 35th anniversary National Magazine Awards.
Winner: Maisonneuve
A broad-minded, insatiable magazine that publishes investigative journalism, long-form essays and breathtaking artwork, Maisonneuve strives to support emerging talent and present the arts and ideas of Quebec to Anglophone Canada. 2011 saw the magazine publish several high-profile investigative pieces and photo essays, and it was rewarded with nine National Magazine Award nominations. Maisonneuve recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, and over the past decade it has won 18 National Magazine Awards, including now two wins (2004 and 2011) for Magazine of the Year.

A Message from Arjun Basu, President of the NMAF
Tomorrow we gather to celebrate excellence in Canadian magazine publishing at the 35th anniversary National Magazine Awards. [Version française ci-dessous]
There are more magazines being published today than there were a year ago. More print. More digital. More everything. Every stat out there tells us that people are reading more. And that includes magazines.
The industry has been running from something, change perhaps, for the last few years, all the while running toward something as well, you could call it the future, and we've been doing it without thinking. There has been fear. Surely. And the flip side of fear is opportunity.
We've played with the shiny new toys and tried to figure out what they do. And how they change us. The scramble has been something to behold. Maybe, in a decade or so, we can all sit back and laugh.
But you know what? The delivery system doesn't matter. Because everyone soon gets bored of that shiny new thing and then returns to demanding things that are pretty old-fashioned: Quality. Relevance. Our readers want the same thing they've always wanted. They might want it presented differently, but they want something that speaks to them. That entertains them. That tells them something they didn't know. Magazines have always been about discovery. And that is truer now than ever before.
We are in an age of quality. I really believe that. We have the toys and now instead of just getting our product on the toys "just because," we're putting it there because that's where it belongs. Because it makes sense. Because it's the best way to reach our readers. Not because we "have to" be there. I believe those days are over. Thankfully.
This year's nominations come from across the country and from across platforms. We see blogs competing against print publications. A digital slideshow competing against a more traditional photo essay. How we consume our media isn't really important anymore. That we consume it—that's the important thing. And we're consuming media—Canadian media—more than ever before.
The National Magazine Awards are for you. For us. There's nothing wrong with celebrating a job well done. I hope you enjoy the show.
Arjun Basu
President, National Magazine Awards Foundation
Mot du président
On compte aujourd'hui davantage de magazines publiés que ce n'était le cas il y a un an. Davantage de magazines imprimés. Davantage de magazines numériques. Davantage de tout. Toutes les statistiques confirment que la lecture est de plus en plus populaire. Et les magazines n'échappent pas à la tendance.
Depuis quelques années, l'industrie a agi à la fois en résistance à quelque chose, le changement peut-être, et a foncé dans quelque chose d'autre, qu'on pourrait appeler l'avenir, et nous l'avons fait sans trop y réfléchir. Il y a eu de l'appréhension. Sûrement.
Mais derrière l'appréhension se profilait une occasion. Nous avons étrenné de tout nouveaux jouets et tenté d'en mesurer le potentiel. Nous avons aussi tenté de discerner de quelle façon ces jouets nous changent. Il faut reconnaître que nous nous sommes sentis bousculés. Dans une dizaine d'années, avec le recul, peut-être nous remémorerons-nous cette période d'incertitudes le sourire aux lèvres.
Mais vous savez quoi? Le système de diffusion n'a pas de véritable importance. Parce qu'un jour ou l'autre, nous nous lasserons tous de ces nouveaux jouets et retournerons à des valeurs anciennes : la qualité; la pertinence.
Nos lecteurs continuent de rechercher ce qu'ils ont toujours recherché. Peut-être souhaitent-ils que cela leur soit présenté différemment, mais ils recherchent un contenu qui leur parle. Qui les divertit. Qui leur révèle quelque chose qu'ils ne savaient pas. La découverte a toujours été la raison d'être des magazines. Et cela vaut aujourd'hui plus que jamais.
Nous vivons une époque marquée au sceau de la qualité. Je le crois sincèrement. Nous avons nos jouets et, aujourd'hui, plutôt que de simplement diffuser nos productions sur ces jouets, «parce qu'il le faut bien», nous le faisons parce que c'est là qu'ils doivent aller. Parce que cela va de soi. Parce que c'est la meilleure façon de rejoindre nos lecteurs. Non pas parce que nous « devons » être là. Ces jours sont, selon moi, derrière nous. Et c'est bien ainsi.
Les nominations de cette année viennent de partout au pays et de diverses plates-formes. Nous voyons des blogues en compétition avec des publications imprimées. Un diaporama numérique concurrencer un reportage photo plus traditionnel. Notre mode de consommation des médias n'a plus l'importance qu'il avait. L'important, c'est que nous les consommions. Et la consommation des médias, des médias canadiens, est plus importante que jamais.
Cet événement vous est dédié. Nous est dédié. Il n'y a rien de mal à célébrer le travail bien fait. Bon spectacle !

My friends, I've figured out a way to bring your
holiday knitting under control and to cut your
gift list down to size. I know you thought that a
great way to show people how much you love them
would be to knit them all presents. But hear me
now: it is the reckless use of the word "all" that's
the root of your problem.
You may have forgotten that there are two kinds
of people in the world: the knit-worthy and the
hopelessly knit-immune.
We can all spot the knit-worthy. Their eyes light
up when they see wool, and they delightedly wear
slightly crooked sweaters, oversized hats, or mittens with thumbs that are two different sizes. They
show people that they got a knit gift, and they wear
it to holiday dinners. They put on hand-knit socks
immediately and call them their "best socks," or
even their "real socks," understanding immediately
and instinctively that they've been wearing store-bought impostors until this moment.
These people understand the gift of knitting, and
that hours of affection are hidden inside something
like a hat. These are the people who should go back
on your list for next year.
The knit-immune are easy to spot, too. They
open a hand-knit present, stare at it for a second
as if you've just given them a certificate for a dental
cleaning (thoughtful, but not fun), then thank you
ever so politely. Meanwhile, you can't quite figure
out why they aren't throwing themselves on the
floor, prostrating themselves with glee that they've
gotten a plain brown hat.
If you're like me, you didn't give up on these people
the first year. You figured it's not that they don't like
hand knits (because that's just not possible). You
figured you just knit them the wrong thing, and that
next year, in order to avoid this moment, you should
knit mittens or a scarf instead of a hat.
But the flaw isn't in the object. The knit-immune
truly think that a knitted hat is just that, a hat, and
for them it holds no magic. No sense of the hours
you spent on it, no sense of the esteem you must
hold them in to have spent those hours on them.
Some people really don't understand what knitting
actually is, and those people are not knit-worthy.
You should — brace yourself — take them off
the list.
This is ironic to the point of pain for most knitters,
because the knit-immune are exactly who we want
especially to knit things for. Knitters feel sadness for
those folk, and in our hearts we're all on a conversion
mission: we don't want everyone to knit, but we do
want them all to respect it.
So you keep moving the knit-immune to the top
of your list, burying them in fiber of all sorts, and
trying to impart the joy of knitting, when taking
them off the list could save you time and help prevent another one of those holiday knit-a-thons that
your family has come to call the "episodes."
You may have forgotten that
there are two kinds of people in
the world: the knit-worthy and
the hopelessly knit-immune.
I've discovered the best people to put on your
list, the people worth knitting for to the point of
desperation, the people who truly respect, admire,
and are made to feel deeply cherished by receiving
a piece of knitting: other knitters. Knit for them,
knit for the worthy, and pare back the list. Your very
sanity may depend on it.
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee is a knitter and writer living in
Toronto with her long-suffering husband and daughters. She's
written six books, the latest of which is Free-range knitter:
The yarn harlot writes again. She blogs at
We've created this handyicon and sprinkled it throughoutthe issue to mark lots of projects that makegreat gifts. Now it's easy to give the giftof green. So start crafting!

The work that regulators, including the ASA, continue to undertake in responding positively to the recommendations in the Bailey review (Letting Children Be Children) has been welcomed by government as well as family and parenting groups. ParentPort is a valued resource amongst parents but raising awareness is an ongoing process. We'd be delighted if CIM and its members would like to support ParentPort with their expertise and resources.

text: I think it would take some movement of the cap, but I think the Wild should consider trading for Cody Franson. If he is indeed actually available and they don't trade JML. He is a right shot, plays physical, and had pretty good offensive numbers. Another plus is that he is only 26 and could sign an extension at 3.5 a year. This also would allow Dumba to develop slowly and challenge Spurgeon or someone else in 2-3 years. I feel this would solidify the D as well as the team. I also don't think he'll cost much, 2nd and a prospect? Thoughts anyone?

Now, on to one of my favorite states! I love Colorado, and that wonderful adoption caseworker who united us with our daughter. In exactly one week, the adoption will be finalized! Woo-hoo! Thank you, Jody, for all that you have done for Jessica and for us.
Since you have heard a lot about Colorado from our wonderful fostadopt blogger Michelle, I won't spend a whole lot of time on Colorado services, at least no more than the other states. If you are looking for some good contact information on Colorado foster care services, look no further than here.
I can tell you from personal experience that they have some really nice kids in foster care in Colorado. The Colorado Foster Parent Association has a web site, and it has lots of useful information and support for foster parents.
Michelle, as I stated earlier, has some great information. Here is some general information,
fost-adopt issues, resources and links, and books. This information is for both foster and adopt families, and Michelle herself is a great Colorado family resource.
If you have any questions about Colorado foster care or adoption, feel free to email Michelle anytime. I will email her now, and let her know that her inbox will be full soon.
Stay tuned, up next is Connecticut…

Dividend Power: Annaly Since the Turn of the Century
Is it worth sticking with Annaly Capital Management (NYSE:NLY)? We know that one of the most painful sectors to have been holding stocks over the last few quarters has been the mortgage real estate investment trusts (or, mREITs). In this article, I really want to talk to those who have made their purchases within the last two years. With the exception of those who initiated their positions within the last 4 weeks, you are likely deep in the red.
I argue that those who have bought at higher prices should consider taking advantage of lower prices to lower their cost average, while collecting the dividends going forward. As the share price has come down there has been a double whammy with the dividend cuts quarter after quarter. Many of my readers question if it is really is worth holding this thing. Truthfully, there are safer yields out there, even within the sector. Javelin Mortgage (NYSE:JMI) is a great place to look in my opinion if you are considering dumping Annaly and looking for a better position in the sector.
For those that want out, the telecoms pay well as do master limited partnerships. However, although the cycle of mREITs moves with interest rates timing buys and pyramiding down to lower cost base are imperative. At the same time the power of the dividend, particularly when reinvested, can deliver strong returns. It requires patience, strong will, and trust in the management. These three qualities are hard to come by in investors as emotions always run high when unrealized losses mount on paper. However, I will show you why the dividend is not something to sneeze at.

Hunting Girl Lyrics - Jethro Tull
One day I walked the road and crossed a field
to go by where the hounds ran hard.
And on the master raced: behind the hunters chased
to where the path was barred.
One fine young lady's horse refused the fence to clear.
I unlocked the gate but she did wait until the pack had disappeared.
Crop handle carved in bone;
sat high upon a throne of finest English leather.
The queen of all the pack,
this joker raised his hat and talked about the weather.
All should be warned about this high born Hunting Girl.
She took this simple man's downfall in hand;
I raised the flag that she unfurled.
Boot leather flashing and spurnecks the size of my thumb.
This highborn hunter had tastes as strange as they come.
Unbridled passion: I took the bit in my teeth.
sponsored linksHer standing over --- me on my knees underneath.
My lady, be discrete.
I must get to my feet and go back to the farm.
Whilst I appreciate you are no deviate,
I might come to some harm.
I'm not inclined to acts refined, if that's how it goes.
Oh, high born Hunting Girl,
I'm just a normal low born so and so.

Hello,Report Abuse Reply to this post
Thank you for your post. You are correct, for most of our ships, there is only one 110V which is usually in the bathroom. I recommend bringing a converter/adapter for a 220V as well as a 6-8 ft extension cord for your C-PAP machine, as I know that type of machinery needs to be close to your bed and we can not guarantee placement of the outlets in your stateroom. Also, in regards to bringing your C-PAP Machine, our Guest Relations Department and Cruise staff need to be made aware that you will be bringing that type of medical equipment. If you haven't done so already, please notify them you will be bringing a C-PAP machine. You can email them at firstname.lastname@example.com with your last name and booking number.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you.

Hi -Report Abuse Reply to this post
I'll be on the River Beatrice from Budapest to Passau in late October. I will be bringing a couple of electronic devices (phone, tablet, etc) and wondered what plug type is in use on the boat - German? French? UK? It is my understanding that there will be one plug in the bathroom that is 110V (US voltage) but does the room have additional plugs that are 220V - if so, I want to bring a converter with the proper plug end.

Hi Carla,Report Abuse Reply to this post
Thank you for your post. To answer you question yes, the River Beatrice does have a 110V (US Plug) in the restroom however the rest of the cabin is equipped with EU/220V. You will be fine to bring a 220 V converter with you in order to charge all your electronic devices.
Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide.
Thank you,

Tony Parker Post-Game 1 Interview (audio)
I liked the way he put things. He didn't criticize Hill for his play vs. Nash, but made it clear that they have to be more aggressive and make Steve work on D. And truthfully, though Parker was better at it than Hill, there were times when Nash was defending him and Tony should have been demanding the ball. Pop's post-game interview here: http://www.nba.com/video/channels/playoffs/2010/05/03/0040900221_sas_sound1.nba/index.html Transition D, baby. If the Spurs can execute on those two things, and maybe hit a few more threes and FTs, I feel pretty good about Game 2. p.s. Sorry for the duplicate "Shots"... I'm kinda like Bonner getting his own rebound and shooting again, lol.

Police have identified the man who they say sexually assaulted one CMU student and attacked two others.
Officers say 18-year-old John Daniel Rubio, also a CMU student, entered an unlocked dorm room in Merrill Hall early Sunday morning.
Police believe he committed a sexual assault against a female resident and then assaulted two of her roommates who came to her aid when they overheard a struggle.
The women quickly reported the crime and Rubio was arrested while still in the dormitory.
Rubio was arraigned Tuesday and faces the following charges:
- Home Invasion, 1st Degree (penalty of up to 20 years)
- Assault with Intent to Commit Sexual Penetration (penalty of up to 10 years)
- Criminal Sexual Conduct 4th Degree, Force/Coercion (penalty of up to 2 years)
- Two Counts of Assault and Battery (penalty of up to 93 days)
Rubio has been released on bond but a judge ordered him to stay off the CMU campus.

It's ironic when a medical practice doesn't have medical coverage, but it's not impossible. A small Central Illinois practice has been dropped from its health care provider. The practice believed it will be able to find new coverage, but Dr. Derin Rominger was surprised when he first heard that his physician-run insurance company was dropping them. He now has until the end of the year to fix a problem he never thought he would have.
A normal day for Dr. Rominger can be busy, checking in with about 20 patients.
"I had a hysterectomy this morning, just normal every day women's health care," he explained.
But what was not as normal, when part of his everyday concerns included finding new health care coverage.
"It just seems ironic that a medical office doesn't have medical insurance," he said.
Ironic and a little more stressful. Office Manager Mike Berg worked on fixing the problem as soon as he got word back in December that they were going to be cut off.
"They are not going to carry us do to the extra costs involved in maintaining what the Affordable Care Act is requiring of them," Berg explained.
The insurance provider dropped groups with less than 50 people. Rominger's practice employs 12 people, seven of whom were covered by Physicians Benefit Trust.
"We would have been happy to even pay a little higher premium if we could have kept our previous insurance coverage but that's not even an option," Dr. Rominger said.
As for the options they do have, "It's just going to be kind of limited because I'm not sure how many companies are going to be offering to small groups," Berg said.
Berg wasn't concerned about finding new health care coverage, but he was a little worried what it might cost them. The office paid half of the premium and a portion of the deductible, but it was expecting to pay a higher premium. They have until the end of the year to find new coverage.
Berg said he expected to get quotes back by the end of the week from potential insurance companies. He did not anticipate any staffing changes. And while they do have 11 and a half months to make the decision, Berg said he would like to make the switch as soon as possible.

I see where Gray was invited to Junior Day. Rivals has Texas in the hunt with three of the usual suspects, OU, Tech and A & M. Has anyone any insight into where he is leaning. Eight td's in a championship final is hard to ignore. He looks much more polished and faster than Malcolm Brown.
I watched his dad on the sideline at the championship game. He looks like he could still play. I have not heard if he is leaning toward Tech, where I believe his dad is an assistant coach.

If you've been on 84th Street near Leighton on the east side of town the last few months, you've seen the EZ GO convenience store coming together.
The unique design and bright colors make it hard to miss, but the one thing that stands out maybe even more than gas prices, are what's on top of the building. Wind turbines that help power the store.
"It's going to be a fairly small percentage of what we use, but again, it helps a little bit plus we like the look," Company President Carey Johnson said.
Johnson says the two wind turbines don't run anything specific in the store like refrigeration or the gas pumps, but that it helps offset energy costs.
They come with a price tag though, around $20,000 for the pair.
The Oklahoma based company has only five stores with wind turbines in the country, two of them being right here in Lincoln.
"It's amazing," Store Manager Beth French said. "I have people coming in now, even before we were open asking, 'are you guys open yet?' because they've watched us from the ground up just curious to see what we are."
EZ GO opened it's first store in Lincoln at 25th and O Streets a few months ago and as of now, the new location is officially open for business.
By complete coincidence, the new store's official location is 84th and Windmill Drive.

Antibiotic resistance is now considered a global, immediate health threat by the World Health Organization.
This means the global population has built up a resistance to antibiotics that treat bacterial infections like E.coli , pneumonia and staff infections.
While antibiotics are life-saving drugs, years of abuse and overuse are leaving healthcare providers with few choices to fight dangerous bacterial infections.
Baptist Medical Center South Pharmacist and Antimicrobial Stewardship Coordinator Melanie Hyte says antibiotic resistance isn't a new problem, but manufacturers combated the issue in the past by developing stronger, broad-spectrum antibiotics until now.
"The government is offering incentives to drug manufacturers to create new antibiotics. The problem is they've exhausted every mechanism possible to fight bacterial infections," Hyte said.
Hyte says patients must be aware of this growing issue and ask physicians to confirm they have a bacterial infection before antibiotics are prescribed.
"We have had simple infections that could be treated easily and now there's a lot of difficulty trying to cure those," Hyte said.
The antibiotic era has created superbugs and drug-resistant strains of bacteria that are harder or impossible to control. It could lead to a faster spread of diseases and higher death rates.
"We don't want to get back to the point where we were before antibiotics were created, where nothing was effective," Hyte said.
Hyte says patients can help guard against this issue by taking the complete dose when they are prescribed antibiotics. If the prescription isn't finished, all the harmful bacteria won't be eradicated and will likely become more resistant.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Michael Lawrence, who is wanted for questioning in two homicides, is still on the run after fooling Lansing Police with two fake names.
In February, police arrested Lawrence in the 1100 block of Dorchester Circle in Lansing, but didn't even know it. Interim-Police Chief Mike Yankowski says officers thought they booked Dominic Saxton for originally giving them a fake name.
"He believed he had the right subject at that point and time and then the subject bonded out from the Lansing Police Department within an hour and 20 minutes from being brought in here," said Yankowski.
Two months later, LPD learned they had Lawrence in custody, the man from Saginaw wanted for questioning in two unrelated homicides. One of his girlfriend in April and the other of a 6-year-old in August of last year.
"Our hearts are broken that this wanted subject was able to get free from our grasp and slip through the fingers of our officers," said Yankowski.
He says the officer, a veteran of the force, won't be disciplined and that an internal investigation isn't needed. "There was no policies or procedures that were violated."
Lansing Police say they've already taken action.

Leaders go on nine try rampage
5:43pm Thursday 21st February 2013 in Old Halesonians
OLD Halesonians RFC ran in nine tries as they cruised past Barkers Butts 57-12.
The hosts looked strong in the early exchanges but it was Hales who opened the scoring courtesy of a try from Loz Breeze, converted by Steve Powell.
Stand-off Tom Harris went over soon after to increase the advantage, before Butts got themselves on the scoresheet with a well worked try.
But a textbook line-out catch-and-drive lead to a try from Hales skipper Rich Taylor and Powell then secured the bonus point with the fourth try before the break.
The second-half saw the visitors continue their dominance.
Centre Simon Sabel, back row Tim Breakwell and hooker Pete Fitzgerald all scored.
Chris Hooper then came off the bench to score on his return from injury and though the hosts managed a second try, Luke Smith ensured Hales had the last laugh when he touched down following a flowing move.
Old Hales travel to Stoke this Saturday still holding a three point lead over Worcester at the top of Midlands One West.
The seconds enjoyed a fine afternoon as they demolished Bournville 54-5 at Wassell Grove.
Dave Wakefield scored the opening try following some nice interplay and Ollie Kealey soon increased the lead after another good move.
The third try was scored by Chris Deeks, before second rows Tom Lewis and Joe Bradley combined for the latter to score.
Scrum-half Greg Smith forced his way over from close range and Matt Weaver finished off a 20 metre driving maul, though Bournville did at least stem the tide with a try just before half-time.
But there was no chance of a comeback as second-half scores from Weaver, Andy Holloway and a late brace from Ben Perks ensured the rout was completed.
Elsewhere, tries from Andy Tromans and Adam Whiteman could not save the third XV from a 31-10 defeat against Malvern.

Ubuntu Hardy - Nginx Virtual Hosts
Now we have Nginx installed (whether via the package manager or from source) we are in a position to serve multiple domains using Virtual Hosts.
Do note the layout used in this article is explained here - feel free to use the directories of your choice.
Create the layout
Let's create the basic layout for each domain. In your home directory create a 'public_html' folder:
mkdir /home/demo/public_html
Now for each domain you want to host (I use the examples of domain1.com and domain2.com) create a folder with a standard set of sub-folders:
mkdir -p /home/demo/public_html/domain1.com/{public,private,log,backup}
mkdir -p /home/demo/public_html/domain2.com/{public,private,log,backup}
That will create the folders public, private, log and backup for each of our domains (domain1.com and domain2.com).
The content of the public folder is, naturally, up to you but for this example I am going to use a very simple html file so we can check the virtual hosts work.
So for each domain:
nano /home/demo/public_html/domain1.com/public/index.html
Enter something like this into the file:
Repeat the process so you have a similar file for domain2.com (don't forget to change the index.html content so it shows domain2.com and not domain1.com).
Virtual Hosts Layout
If you have been following the articles for the Nginx install, you will have a 'Debian' style layout (using sites-available and sites-enabled folders) whether you installed via the package manager or via source.
As such, we'll use that layout from now on when creating the virtual hosts.
Virtual Host
Let's go ahead and create the vhost file for domain1:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain1.com
Remember to adjust the path according to your install. So installing from source would require:
sudo nano /usr/local/nginx/sites-available/domain1.com
The contents look like this:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.domain1.com;
rewrite ^/(.*) http://domain1.com/$1 permanent;
server {
listen 80;
server_name domain1.com;
access_log /home/demo/public_html/domain1.com/log/access.log;
error_log /home/demo/public_html/domain1.com/log/error.log;
location / {
root /home/demo/public_html/domain1.com/public/;
index index.html;
Note: This example vhost is pretty basic. However, the next article on Nginx virtual hosts will include details of many more settings that are available.
The first server module in the file is a simple rewrite rule that redirects visitors to domain1.com from www.domain1.com.
You can, of course, have this the other way around if you prefer.
The second server module has very basic information including the server_name which is the domain name you want to serve.
It then defines the log locations for easy analysis and finally sets the server root and the index file.
As said, very basic at this stage.
Last configuration we need to do is to 'enable' our site.
This is done with a symlink in the sites-enabled directory as follows:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain1.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/domain1.com
Again, depending on how you installed Nginx, you may need to adjust the paths:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/nginx/sites-available/domain1.com /usr/local/nginx/sites-enabled/domain1.com
Restart Nginx
Although there is a restart option for the Nginx init script, it doesn't always work as expected and may not facilitate any changes you have made.
As such, I recommend a stop and start approach rather than a simple restart:
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx stop
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start
Now when you navigate to your domain:
You will see the equivalent of this:
Rinse and Repeat
All you need to do for your next virtual host (domain2.com in this example) is to repeat the process.
I know I mention it a lot, but do remember to adjust any paths to match your Nginx installation.
So create a virtual host file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain2.com
Enter the details as shown above but for domain2.com and then create a symlink in the sites-enabled folder like this:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/domain2.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/domain2.com
Restart Nginx:
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx stop
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start
And away you go.
Remember we defined custom locations for the domain logs?
Well, let's have a check they are there:
ls /home/demo/public_html/domain1.com/log/
access.log error.log
Excellent, everything is working as we expected and we have our domain logs in a nice and convenient location.
Setting up virtual hosts with Nginx is a simple process using the sites-available and sites-enabled folders.
Although the example here is quite basic, I hope you can see that getting to grips with Nginx syntax and configurations is not too difficult.
The next article will concentrate on some other settings for use in the virtual hosts file, thus allowing for more control and flexibility for your hosting needs.
Article Comments:
Could this be modified to support multiple domains from one Rails app:
http://bills_web.com <--> http://railsapp.com/users/bill
This worked like a charm.
I needed to get my DNS setup, so this [Creating DNS Records]http://articles.slicehost.com/2007/10/24/creating-dns-recordsarticle might be helpful as well.
Hi there!
Great tutorials, I've been working through them and have had an easy time setting up my new slice. Just ran into a snag now though; I get the following error when I restarted NGINX:
Starting nginx: 2008/06/15 18:08:39 [emerg] 4645#0: unknown directive "location/" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/domain1.com:17
Scratch that, issue solved -
a typo in the vhost file. Thanks again for the great tutorials
I'd recommend updating the config lines: server_name www.domain1.com; rewrite ^/(.*) http://domain1.com permanent;
to: server_name www.domain1.com; rewrite ^/(.*) http://domain1.com/$1 permanent;
This is something that Apache's defaults seem to already do, and I think is probably better practice. That way when you type in http://www.domain.com/about-us/ you get redirected back to http://domain.com/about-us rather than back to the root http://domain.com.
Great Article! I refer to it often.
Check http://articles.slicehost.com/2008/5/16/ubuntu-hardy-nginx-virtual-host-settings
As well. It has the same error as your previous comment.
Another great tutorial. I just started with slicehost and chose it over linode because of these tutorials... I'm very happy I did, this has saved me hours of work.
If you end up with 403 Forbidden errors on your vhosts, check the permissions on your home directory. The default for home directories is 750, meaning only users and groups can read files inside. Note that all sub-directories INHERIT these permissions, so even if /home/demo/public_html/domain1.com/public is set to 755, if nginx is running as user www-data, it will not be able to access any files because of the 750 permissions on /home/demo.
To solve this you could: 1) chmod 755 /home/demo But this opens up your home directory for world readability, which you may not want. 2) Create a /home/public_html and give it a group that both your user name and the user that nginx is running belong to. There are [good instructions here][http://www.mensk.com/webmaster-toolbox/perfect-ubuntu-hardy-nginx-mysql5-php5-wordpress/] 3) Run nginx as you, but again this may not be desirable for security concerns.
I recommend using #2, as it is probably better to keep all website content out of your personal home directory, particularly if you are going to have multiple sites and potentially multiple users.
Are there any issues (e.g. security, performance) of using the approach in the section 'Wildcard Subdomains in a Parent Folder' from the following link:
Purple Onion — First, your tutorials have been a lifesaver. Thank you so much for writing these! I have learned a lot.
I ran into a problem with your sites-available settings. Putting root and index under location / was incorrectly pointing $SERVER["DOCUMENTROOT"] to /usr/local/nginx/html.
Moving root and index out of location / to server fixed the issue.
The only question I still have on this is: Is there still any need to define root or index under location /? My sites are working fine without it, but I haven't been able to confirm that I'm doing things the correct way.
thank you for your tutes! i understand how to set up NgiNx.
I tried to use NgiNx for my phpPgAdmin and Squirrelmail (which are runnign on apaache) but i have not been too successful.
I guess it is because there's not too many good guides on it.
Can you please shed some light there?
For example, i have a domain, www.staplers.com and i just want to access 1) phpPgAdmin via www.staplers.com/phpPgAdmin 2) Squirrelmail via www.staplers.com/mail
thank you
good article.
when I call http://localhost/, all errors are logged in "/var/log/nginx/error.log" (setting in nginx.conf)
wehen I call http://domain1.com/, "/home/demo/public_html/domain1.com/log/error.log" is always empty. what may be wrong?
Nice. I'm trying to modify this so it will work on my Windows installation with PHP FCGI across all sites, but it seems to be going well so far.
One question though - does anyone know if it's possible to use a database for some configurations? At the moment I am using Apache with VhostDbi. I've seen a few references for NGinX DBI, but nothing concrete.
Great post PickledOnion! One thing though, I get an error message reading:
Starting nginx: [warn]: duplicate MIME type "text/html" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:27
Any thoughts on why this might be happening?
Thanks in advance!
Hi pickledonion,
one question. Does the demo user can be a normal user or it needs to be any special kind of privileges?
any tips to create user like demo?
Any help? Thanks.
For the purposes of the web server, "demo" can be any user on the system. The only requirement would be that the nginx process be able to view the files in the user's home directory so it can serve up the virtual host. You can create a user on Ubuntu with the command "sudo /usr/sbin/adduser demo" (or whatever other name you like in place of "demo").
Hey I know tuis is off topic but I waas wondering if yoou knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let mee know if you run into anything.

Breast cancer warning sign #4: Changes in breast shape, size, or appearance
7 Early Warning Signs of Breast Cancer: Page 4
Contrary to popular belief, not all breast tumors cause a hard lump close enough to the surface to be noticeable. "Instead of feeling a lump, I noticed that one of my breasts was more oval than the other, hanging down lower and sort of sticking out to one side," says a California woman who discovered she had breast cancer at the age of 42.
How it feels: Because this change is one of appearance more than feel, your partner may notice it before you do. Or you might become aware of it as you put on your bra or look at yourself in the mirror at the gym.
What causes it: Tissue growth that's deeper in the breast or masked by dense breast tissue may push out the shape or size of the breast without causing a noticeable lump. If you've been told you have dense breast tissue, be particularly alert for this sign.
Scary stat: Mammograms miss up to 50 percent of tumors in women with dense breasts.
What to do: Study the size and shape of your breasts in a mirror. Sit facing the mirror and look at both breasts dead-on, then raise your arms, turn sideways, and look from each side. If there's a difference in size or shape you haven't noticed before, bring it to your doctor's attention.

Winter storm warning issued for Hood Canal
HOOD CANAL — A winter storm warning, including up to 10 inches of snow, was issued Monday afternoon for the Hood Canal region. Snow can be expected after 4 a.m. Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service, which issued the warning.
The storm warning, upgraded from an earlier storm watch, means severe weather is imminent. The warning covers areas in West Kitsap, North Mason and East Jefferson, including Seabeck, Belfair, Hoodsport and Brinnon.
Snow is expected throughout the day Tuesday, changing to rain or a rain-and-snow mix by evening. More than a foot of snow is expected at the higher elevations in the Olympic Mountains, while 5 to 10 inches could occur in the lowlands and the east side of Hood Canal.
"Those traveling in the warning area should be prepared for hazardous winter conditions," states the bulletin. A map of the warning area can be viewed at www.wrh.noaa.gov/sew/.
The Weather Service reports that snow is possible in Central Puget Sound, with one computer model showing that 3 inches of snow is likely. But an expected warming trend may be enough to keep the precipitation as rain the Seattle-Tacoma area, where light snow is possible on the higher hills.
Meanwhile, severe weather shelters will be open Monday and Tuesday nights in Bremerton in response to forecasts of freezing conditions and possible snow in the Kitsap County.
County road crews will watch the forecasts and developing conditions and are prepared to dispatch crews as needed on Christmas Day, according to officials with Kitsap County Public Works.
The severe weather shelter will open at 6 p.m. tonight and Tuesday night. Guests must check in by 9 p.m., and the shelter will close the following morning at 7 a.m.
The shelter's location is Bremerton Food Line, 1600 12th Street in Bremerton. The shelter serves anyone who need safes overnight refuge where none is available.
Further openings will be announced as the weather changes. For information, call 211 or Kitsap Community Resources, (360) 478-2301. Local information is updated on Kitsap County's homepage, www.kitsapgov.com.

Drastic budget cuts planned in Washington could lead to furloughs for more than 30-thousand Florida-based Department of Defense employees. That translates to more than 183 million dollars not flowing through the Florida economy.
Florida Governor Rick Scott, in Largo to tout bills to eliminate sales taxes on machinery, says he's worried about a trickle down effect to everyone. "Congress and the President should do their job. They need to balance their budgets because right now by them not doing their jobs, Florida families are gonna lose their jobs."
The governor sent a letter to President Obama, outlining his concerns. Among them, what the cuts will do at Macdill Air force Base, home to US Central Command and US Special Operations Command. He asks, what will happen if the National Guard doesn't have the manpower to respond to wildfires, or hurricanes? "They're taking a meat cleaver to the budget up there instead of a scalpel.
They need to be doing the right thing so Florida families have more jobs" said Governor Scott.

Proposition 2 poses no cost to state taxpayers?
By W. Gardner Selby
Published on Sunday, November 6th, 2011 at 11:08 a.m.
An email blast advocating for a proposed constitutional amendment on the Nov. 8, 2011, Texas ballot says Proposition 2 will help "build critical local water supply projects that create jobs and protect us from drought and wildfire."
The email from Texans 4 Prop 2, funded by the H2O4TEXAS committee, goes on: "This does not cost state taxpayers any money. Yes, that's right, Prop 2 advances critical, job-creating local water projects at no cost to state taxpayers."
Residents of communities benefiting from the requested $6 billion boost in bonding authority would pay such debt costs.
We looked into whether state taxpayers would be scot-free.
Answer: So long as future Legislatures don't exploit their standing--and occasionally used--authority to pay some of the bond debt from state revenue, meaning money raised from state taxpayers. We rated the claim Half True.
