Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
'Explosion' scared the pants off him
Bursting his britches forced publisher to scale down weight
The day my pants exploded, I knew I was in trouble.
A pair of navy corduroy pants, with a sturdy brass button, had been under the Christmas tree.
I proudly put them on one day early in January. But I forgot a belt.
As I couched down to slide into the driver's seat of the car, I heard a loud POP, like the sound an air gun makes when it is fired.
Suddenly a cold blast of air rushed in to my waist.
The button was no longer.
That night I stepped onto the scale and weighed in at 196 pounds, 30 more than I weighed when I was in my 20s.
Granted, I was a skinny marathon runner at the time .
But 30 pounds!
I've usually lost weight through exercise, so my first thought was to get back to a routine of working out every day. Jogging and regular trips to the gym have always been part of my life, but it had gotten easier and easier to skip them.
So I changed my approach.
Christmas had also brought a Wii Fit video machine to our house. I set about doing daily programs based on the variety of exercises that the game offers -- from push-ups and twists to yoga and balance tests.
It helps that Wii Fit is a robotic and unrelenting taskmaster.
Its basic fitness test, which you are encouraged to do every day, tells you in no uncertain terms if you are overweight or obese.
The animated fitness instructors tell you right away if you are off balance while doing leg raises or if your pelvis is dropping towards the floor while doing push-ups.
And the computer rates you after every exercise on how well you did, flashing up the dreaded "couch potato" rating if you fail.
With that kind of guidance, I had lost five pounds within a month. Then the weight loss stopped.
Still wanting to lose more, I took a look at my lifestyle and realized I was drinking too many calories. I go to a lot of social functions. Two drinks turns into five pretty easily. And it was all ending up on my waist.
So I made another change and cut back alcohol. Within another month five more pounds had disappeared. But again the weight loss stopped.
So I cut out snacks -- muffins with morning coffee, sweet treats in the afternoon, cookies from the cupboard. And after a few weeks another five pounds was gone.
All of this brought me down to 181 pounds -- not bad, but still slightly overweight for someone of my height.
I finally realized I had to change what I eat at mealtime. I was still having double burritos with sour cream at lunch, blueberry pancakes and dessert at dinner on a daily basis.
Once these were gone, replaced by sensible portions, another five pounds dropped off.
Now I sit at 176 pounds, having changed much of my lifestyle without really a lot of planning -- surprising myself in the process.
And I have finally realized the lesson that I learned from my exploding pants.
If you want to lose weight, start with one change -- anything that reduces caloric intake or increases your activity level. It does not really matter where you start so long as you start somewhere.
Don't make it complicated. I have often overheard newcomers to the gym, in their first session with trainers, getting advice on everything from resistance training to cardio workouts to dietary changes. It is all sound advice, but usually it's enough to overwhelm all but the most dedicated people.
So start small. Then measure the results. Chances are you'll end up adding another change, and another as you learn more.
There are many good ways to lose weight -- and no end of people and programs wanting to help you. But in the end it's up to you to act.
You're also the person that you are losing weight for. I'd like to say my wife is thrilled with my weight loss -- or jealous she couldn't do the same. But the truth is she barely would have noticed if I had not obsessively pointed out to her my progress.
I'm not sure when I'll stop adding changes. I could stop here. But I'm still on the high side of normal weight.
As for those pants, I never did find the brass button.
It wouldn't have done any good anyway -- the pants are too big for me now.

About Bob Cox
Bob Cox was named publisher of the Winnipeg Free Press in November 2007. He joined the newspaper as editor in May 2005.
"Rejoined" is a better word for it, because Bob first worked at the newspaper as a reporter in January 1984. He covered crime and courts for three years before getting restless and moving on to other journalism jobs.
Since then, his career has spanned four provinces and five cities. Highlights include working in Ottawa for the Canadian Press covering Prime Minister Jean Chrétien during his first term in office, and five years at the Globe and Mail in Toronto, first as national editor and later as night editor.
Bob grew up on a farm in southwestern Ontario, but has spent most of his adult life in Western Canada in Winnipeg, Regina and Edmonton.

The Banshee was a vision for what the Firebird could become. Of course,
this concept car could never be built exactly, too low on the road and it
wouldn't pass the safety and crash tests, but it was exciting. It
demonstrated that the problem with GM cars didn't sit on the designers'
shoulders. They were more than capable of dreaming up engaging and fun
vehicles that would set imaginations on fire.

China Mobile and Apple 'tie the knot' in cooperation plan
Publication Date : 16-01-2014
Apple Inc's recent agreement with China Mobile Ltd., the world's biggest telecom carrier with a user base of 760 million, is a significant start for the two companies' cooperation, according to two of their top executives.
Xi Guohua, chairman of China Mobile, compared the company's six-year continuous negotiations with Apple with a long "courtship". After the two companies finally reached a deal on Dec 23, 2013, Xi joked that China Mobile and Apple had entered into a happy marriage.
Xi made the remarks at a small news briefing with Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive officer, at China Mobile's Beijing headquarters on Wednesday.
According to the December agreement, China Mobile is going to sell the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C handsets on its fourth generation (4G) network on the Chinese mainland from January 17. The contract fee is fixed at 5,488 yuan (US$907) for a 16-gigabyte iPhone 5S handset and shoppers can select a monthly payment varying from 138 yuan to 588 yuan.
The number of pre-orders for China Mobile's iPhone devices in a 20-day period starting December 25, exceeded 1 million, according to the company.
Xi said he was confident sales of the China Mobile version of the iPhones would far exceed the expectations of others.
"It's just the start of our cooperation," Cook said. It has been the third time he has paid a visit to China Mobile Beijing's office since 2013.
"Apple and China Mobile can do a lot more things together," Cook pointed out.
Xi added that instead of restricting them to the handset business, the two companies can look into opportunities presented by the burgeoning mobile Internet industry, which is giving birth to rapid-developing technologies and various new business fields.
However, they did not disclose further details.
Bryan Wang, principal analyst with Forrester Market Advisory (Beijing) Co Ltd, said the most likely target for Apple and China Mobile's further cooperation falls on tablet computers.
"China Mobile has about 65,000 points of sale across China, which will act as a great platform for Apple selling iPad products," Wang said.
In addition, wearable devices, such as the rumoured iWatch developed by Apple, will help China Mobile extend customer relationships beyond one device. Wang said diverse Apple hardware could assist China Mobile to lift customer "stickiness" by offering multiple mobile touch points.
Apple was the fifth-largest smartphone vendor in the Chinese market in the third quarter of 2013, with a market share of 5.8 per cent, according to a report from International Data Corp (IDC).
Its share followed South Korean company Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (19.3 per cent), Lenovo Group Co Ltd (11.8 per cent), Yulong Telecommunication Ltd (maker of Coolpad) (11.7 per cent) and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd (8.6 per cent) during the same period.
On Wednesday's meeting, Cook also said Apple will reach more customers in third- and fourth-tier cities in China.
"China Mobile already has a presence in many cities that Apple does not have. So yes, Apple will go into more and more cities, and China Mobile's distribution network will be an enormous asset to us," Cook said.
James Yan, a senior analyst with IDC China, said Apple faces an increasingly saturated market in big Chinese cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, where Apple enthusiasts and many high-end users have already purchased iPhone devices.
"That people in smaller cities demonstrate a purchasing capability sometimes astonishes vendors. Because Apple enjoys fame nationwide, the company will benefit from expanding its channels," Yan added.
Apple sold about 23 million iPhone devices in 2013, according to IDC.
Cook revealed that the company sold a record high number of iPhone handsets in China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) in the first fiscal quarter of 2014 ending in December.
Analysts expect Apple's alliance with China Mobile to increase iPhone shipments by 12 million to 17 million this year.
However, Apple still has several challenges.
"Price is unfortunately still a major barrier, which will exclude the majority of China Mobile's subscribers," said Wang Jingwen, a telecom analyst with research firm Canalys.
According to Apple's China website, the unsubsidised retail price of a 16-gigabyte iPhone 5S is 5,288 yuan, while an iPhone 5C with the same storage capacity costs 4,488 yuan.
Despite being assembled in China, those prices are some of the highest around the world and exceed the average monthly salary in China.
Cook defended Apple's pricing strategy by saying that the company wants to provide customers with 'the best products and best user experiences.
"Apple will not sell the most, but will create the best products," he said.
Since China Mobile's 4G network offers superb speed, iPhone devices running on this network will definitely create an exceptional user experience, he added.

Oil on canvas, 20 x 30 inches, c. 1875, signed "SL Gerry," l.l, in what appears to be the original gilt frame. Samuel Gerry was a self-taught artist known for his majestic mountain landscapes, especially of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Although he didn't have much formal training, he was greatly influenced by the work of Thomas Cole and A. B Durand, as well as some artists of the European schools. In the 1840s, Gerry was considered the leader of the White Mountain School of landscape painters.
Two hand colored period lithographs, each image size approx. 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches, c. 1850, drawn from nature by J.J. Audubon, drawn on stone by W.E. Hitchcock, Printed by J.T. Bowen, Philadelphia. American Badger inscribed: "No. 10" and "Plate XLVII". Maryland Marmot Woodchuck Groundhog inscribed: "No. 1" and "Plate II". Both prints feature very rich original colors, but have tape residue and toning around the edges of the sheet, not effecting the image area. (M)
This early European drawing in red crayon, c. 1600, is unidentified. It has a watermark of a fleur de lis with a "M" above it. The sheet size measures 14 3/4 x 10 inches.

Appeals court upholds N.O. police reform ruling
Updated On: Sep 28 2013 10:25:00 AM CDT
A federal appeals court has refused to release New Orleans from a consent decree governing reforms at the city's police department.
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday rejected Mayor Mitch Landrieu's arguments that circumstances had changed since January, when a Louisiana federal judge approved the decree.
The 5th Circuit panel said it "agreed with the district court that the record reveals no change in circumstances after the city proposed the consent decree that justifies the city's attempt to vacate it."
The police reforms could cost about $50 million in the coming years. The decree covers a series of requirements for overhauling policies and procedures for use of force, training, interrogation, searches and arrests, recruitment and supervision.

House passes bill defining full-time work as 40 hours, White House promises veto
Charles Dharapak, Associated Press
The GOP-led house responded to one of the most common critiques of Obamacare last week by passing a bill redefining full-time work from the 30 hours per week specified in the current health care law to 40 hours per week. The White House has promised a veto.
At stake is a controversial part of the health care law that requires employers to provide health care to "full time" employees, defined as those working 30 hours a week or more. Critics have pointed to employers in various sectors, including part-time university faculty and restaurant workers, whose hours were shaved in response to the law, dropping them to 29 hours or fewer.
Rep. Todd C. Young (R-Ind.), the lead sponsor of the proposal, said the reductions in work hours unfairly target lower-wage workers whom the law was designed to help, the Washington Post reported.
"These are cafeteria workers, these are substitute teachers, these are adjunct professors," he said this week. "These are folks who help us in terms of serving at restaurants. On balance, these are folks who can least afford to see a cut in their take-home pay. And so we want to restore the 40-hour workweek."
Whether this is a good move or a bad move for workers depends on which lens you use, reports Kent Hoover for bizjournals.com.
Hoover notes that "changing the definition to 40 hours would protect 11.8 million workers who work more than 30 hours a week from having their hours cut, according to a study by the GOP-friendly American Action Forum." But on the other hand, "the Congressional Budget Office, however, concluded the bill would reduce the number of Americans who receive employer-based health insurance by 1 million and shift coverage costs to to taxpayers. The CBO estimates the bill would increase federal budget deficits by $73.7 million over the next 10 years."
Critics of the law have pointed to a sustained rise in involuntary part-time work that has persisted since the end of the Great Recession, citing this as evidence that employers are responding preemptively to the new regulation.
"An alternative interpretation of the persistent high level of involuntary part-time work due to an inability to find full-time work," stated a report by the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank last summer, "is that it reflects employer anticipation of the 30-hour cutoff for mandatory employee health benefits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. Media stories have suggested that some employers are only hiring part-time workers to minimize the cost of expanded health coverage. This phenomenon will probably continue, although perhaps at a slower pace due to the recently announced delay in implementation of the employer mandate to 2015."
Not surprisingly, the White House was dismissive of this latest attack on the president's signature health care law, threatening a veto and stating, "H.R. 4015 would delay the individual shared responsibility provision, which is essential to ensuring that the 129 million Americans with pre-existing conditions can get coverage without being charged more or losing coverage when they get sick. This legislation would result in higher numbers of uninsured Americans, higher premiums for those who remain insured, and fewer premium tax credits for middle-income families, and would increase cost-shifting of uncompensated care to health care providers, workers and businesses."

Broadcast company, former meteorologist come to terms
Former KCOY/KKFX meteorologist Jim Byrne said he had reached an agreement with Cowles California Media Company, which he sued earlier this year, claiming officials breached his contract when they terminated his position at the broadcast news station in January.
Byrne said he was bound by the terms of the early-October agreement, which stipulated that he not speak about any details.
So what can he say?
"We came to an agreement, and that's pretty much it," he said.
A representative from KCOY hadn't responded to a request for comment as of press time.
According to documents filed on April 25 in Santa Barbara County Superior Court, Byrne entered a four-year contract with Cowles in October 2008. On January 12, 2012, the company terminated the contract "without cause" and refused to pay him the balance of his wages and benefits.
Byrne claimed he had suffered monetary damages and sought compensation with interest.
On June 6, legal representation for Cowles filed a countersuit denying "each and every allegation of the Complaint" and asked that it be dismissed. The company also sought reimbursement for the cost of the suit, including attorney's fees.

Grunis summons judge over 'altered protocols'
Judge VARDA ALSHECH 370.
(photo credit:Israel Judicial Branch)
A day after Bar Association leaders called for Judge Varda Alshech to be ousted
over an amended protocol, Supreme Court President Asher Dan Grunis on Monday
formally summoned Alshech to a discussion.A spokesman for Grunis's
office said the Supreme Court president wished to speak with Alshech to clarify
matters following a decision by Judge Eliezer Goldberg, the ombudsman for
complaints against judges, to uphold a complaint that Alshech substantially
altered the protocols to a case.The Bar Association filed a complaint
against Alshech in 2011 after a lawyer who had taken part in a hearing before
the judge regarding a company liquidation identified differences between the
protocol he received immediately after the hearing and another copy he received
months later.The meeting between Grunis and Alshech, who is the Tel Aviv
District Court deputy president, will take place in July, immediately upon
Alshech's return from a sabbatical abroad, Grunis's office said – although the
exact date of the meeting has not yet been specified.Attorney Efi Nave,
chairman of the Tel Aviv District Bar Association, praised Grunis's decision to
summon Alshech for a discussion."I respect and congratulate President
Grunis for his speedy response and for listening to the public," Nave said,
adding that he hoped the Supreme Court president would adopt Judge Goldberg's
conclusions in upholding the complaint against Alshech."Tens of
thousands of lawyers are looking up to the Supreme Court president to strengthen
public confidence in Israel's judiciary," Nave added.On Sunday, Nave and
the chairmen of the country's four other Bar Association districts gathered for
a rare press conference, calling for Alshech to be ousted.Nave, together
with Jerusalem chairman Asher Axelrod; Haifa chairmen Yosef Haham; southern
district chairman Danny Alyagon; and northern district chairman attorney Khaled
Zo'abi, said they decided to collaborate because of the importance of the issue.

Piper Road Spring Band celebrates 40 years Nov. 1 at Mendelssohn
Staff Report
Longtime Charlotte's Web favorite Piper Road Spring Band will perform a 40th anniversary and CD release party concert in the banquet room at Mendelssohn Hall, 406 N. Main St., Friday, Nov. 1. Doors, dinner and cash bar open at 7 p.m., with concert at 7:30 p.m.
The first Friday in November brings the highly anticipated CD release and anniversary celebration of favorite bluegrass jam band Piper Road Spring Band.
The friendship between Charlotte's Web and Piper Road runs deep, 40 years deep. Piper Road has been performing at the Web for all four of the decades they're commemorating. They closed out the Web's 35th Anniversary Celebration in 2007, and opened festivities for the 40th in 2012. Throughout the first couple decades, a Piper Road Spring Band show at the Web meant an entire weekend of laughter and music with the inevitable Charlotte's Web versus Piper Road softball tournament topping it off.
When the Web heard Piper Road was celebrating its 40th anniversary of making music together, the Web jumped at the chance to help them celebrate properly: with a concert party event! Add food — amazing Rockford favorite Altamore's Ristorante; add drink — uber great Kryptonite Bar; add music — the bluegrassiest jam band ever, Piper Road Spring Band; add people — the best darned folks around are PRSB fans; and this is the recipe for a fantastic celebration! Kate's Pie Shop & Record Store will also be open late to celebrate Piper Road's CD release.
The buffet-style dinner will include a Rockford original: ciambella, a unique Altamore's specialty described as a giant donut-shaped bread stuffed with sausage and cheese and other good stuff, then cut into wedges; chicken/pesto pizza; farafelle (bowtie pasta) with Altamore's famous vodka sauce; and a green salad.
Tickets to the concert and dinner are $20 in advance. Tickets at the door are $10 for the concert plus $15 for the food. Advanced tickets are available at the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center Box Office, 406 N. Main (Park Avenue entrance); (815) 964-9713; or online at www.mendelssohnpac.org.

Lesser-spotted Raspberry Pi FINALLY dished up
Re: So can I buy one then?
It's a classically mismanaged computer launch of the early 80's model. They have the "I want" factor, so get a load of them made and get people queuing around the block like the Apple fanboys. Instead there are naff all stocks, just a waiting list.
A queue of bearded middle aged men setting up camp outside Maplin would not only be great publicity but would show that these things are out there and can be bought even if they limit them to certain stores only.

Jordanian Islamists protest against new parliament
AMMAN (Reuters) - Hundreds of Islamists demonstrated in Jordan on Friday to demand faster political reform after an election last month that produced a mostly pro-government parliament.
Supporters of the main opposition Muslim Brotherhood marched from the main Husseini mosque to downtown Amman in the first such protest since the January 23 ballot, which the group boycotted saying electoral rules were loaded against it.
"Reform is what is required. Justice and freedom and not these sham elections and deputies," protesters chanted.
The Brotherhood boycott of Jordan's first parliamentary poll since Arab uprisings began two years ago left an assembly dominated by conservative tribal figures and some businessmen.
Islamist leaders they would pursue demands for an overhaul of an electoral law that favours rural, tribal areas and under-represents cities where the Brotherhood is strong.
More than two thirds of Jordan's seven million people live in cities but are allocated less than a third of assembly seats.
"The Jordanian people have resumed their protests to assert that the reform movement is not over," the Brotherhood's deputy leader, Zaki Bin Rushaid, told Reuters. "The legislation and the past elections do not satisfy the demands of the people."
Popular demonstrations in Jordan have been on a smaller scale than those which toppled rulers in Egypt and Tunisia and which led to armed conflicts in Libya and Syria.
Some protesters angered by corruption have called for the overthrow of King Abdullah, but most have demanded reform that would limit the powers of the U.S.-backed monarch.
The Islamist demonstrators called for constitutional changes that would go further than last year's reforms which devolved some of the king's prerogatives to parliament.
"We want to change the constitution, we want to reform the regime so the country moves ahead," scores of youths chanted.
King Abdullah, who has previously handpicked his prime ministers, this month asked his royal court chief to canvas members of parliament on who should lead the next government.
A new government is expected to be formed in the next two weeks, but no prime minister has yet been named.

|John Madden
John Earl Madden
"I'm not a journalist, I'm not an actor. I'm a football coach doing television. It's fun. It's my life, my passion. I'll do it as long as I can."
Born on the 10th of April 1936 in Austin, Minnesota, John Madden moved to Daly City, California with his family at an early age. He was always an avid athlete and sports enthusiast as a child, playing several sports throughout high school. At California Polytechnic College, Madden played on both the offensive and defensive lines for its football team and was a catcher for the school's baseball team.
In terms of schooling, Madden received his Bachelor of Science diploma in 1959 and followed it up with a Master of Arts degree in 1961, both from California Polytechnic. It was his athletics, however, that showed the most promise career-wise. Madden entered the NFL draft in 1958 and was picked 21st overall by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Unfortunately, the dream of performing on the professional level came crumbling down when he suffered a career-ending knee injury. Months of rehabilitation confirmed Madden's inability to play but, though his hopes were shattered, he immediately opened his mind to other job opportunities in football. In 1960, Madden began coaching at Hancock Junior College in Santa Maria, California.
After four years, he had learned the basic leadership and motivational tactics necessary to be a football coach. He went from high school to university coach, landing the defensive coordinator job at San Diego State in 1964. In the two seasons Madden stayed with San Diego State University, the Aztecs were 26-4 and ranked first among the small colleges in the country.
Despite this success, Madden could not pass up the next job offer that came his way. In 1967, he took the Oakland Raiders of the American Football Conference up on their offer to become linebacker coach. For another two seasons, he excelled in the role. In fact, Madden impressed the Raiders' top executives so much that when it came time to look for a new head coach in 1969, they did not hesitate to hire him.
With the new job, Madden became the youngest head coach in the American Football League, at 33 years old. He held the post for 10 successful seasons, creating a quasi-dynasty that included seven Western Division titles and a win in Super Bowl XI against the Minnesota Vikings.
In 1979, Madden retired, ending a great coaching run that saw him own the best winning percentage in NFL history at a mark of 0.750. Still young, he sought once again an alternative career in football. This time, it came in the form of television, as CBS hired Madden to be an analyst for the network's Sunday NFL games.
From the start, Madden was a natural in the broadcast booth. His knowledge of the game, and expressions like "Boom!" and "Wham!," made him a popular football figure. Soon, he garnered contracts for various products as well, becoming a spokesperson for Tinactin antifungal ointment, Ace Hardware and Outback Steakhouse. He moved from CBS to FOX and most recently began doing the Monday Night Football broadcasts on ABC, but the switch never changed a thing: Madden always draws fans wherever he works.
Madden has been recognized for his work, winning 13 Emmy Awards in his career (he has been nominated for 15) and taking home the esteemed Golden Mike Award from the Touchdown Club of America. The American Sportscasters Association twice named him Sports Personality of the Year (in 1985 and 1992) as well. However, it's not only awards that make him popular: after admitting that he has a fear of flying, Madden bought a tour bus to bring him to all the games he broadcasts. Now, his $800,000, 45-foot luxury coach, known as The Madden Cruiser, is a famous NFL symbol and a popular sight at each game.
Madden's impressive $40 million per year earnings do not all stem from broadcasting and commercials. He has authored and co-authored several football-related books, including the bestsellers John Madden's Ultimate Tailgating and One Size Doesn't Fit All. Madden has also lent his name to the ever-popular line of EA Sports football games, with each successive Madden NFL outselling the other.
Married for over 50 years and the father of two children, John Madden is a football icon who, with his Monday Night Football time slot, shows no signs of slowing down.
He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on February 4, 2006.
