As the premiers prepare for their annual meeting next week, they find themselves in an unusual position. Normally these affairs involve the premiers issuing a long list of demands that Ottawa do this and pay for that, almost always in areas that are properly provincial. (See: cooperative federalism.) This time, the federal industry minister, James Moore, has provided the premiers with a demand of his own — namely, that the provinces get serious, 147 years after Confederation, about removing the barriers to trade between them.
Well, "demand" is too strong a word. The discussion paper the minister has distributed, entitled One Canada: One National Economy, is as polite, not to say deferential, as these things usually are. Nevertheless, for a federal minister even to raise the subject of interprovincial trade in public suggests something is afoot.
After all, the issues involved are almost entirely provincial, and there is, as you know, nothing provinces are more zealous to defend from federal interference than provincial jurisdiction. (See: cooperative federalism.) Still, the premiers are on weak ground, not only because of the palpable silliness of maintaining barriers to trade within a federation that was formed, in large part, for the purpose of dismantling them, but because in recent years Canada's external trade has been so liberalized that we are really and truly in the position of having freer trade in some respect with other countries than we do amongst ourselves.
Moreover, any suggestion from the provinces that the feds "just leave this to us" must contend with the example of the Agreement on Internal Trade, unveiled with much fanfare 20 years ago. It was supposed to have guaranteed precisely the sort of free movement of goods, services, people and investment the feds are now talking about. It hasn't worked out that way. As the federal paper diplomatically puts it, the AIT has "achieved limited success." It covers only a limited range of economic activity, "relies unduly on moral suasion and good faith," and is largely unenforceable.
So the feds propose two possible ways forward. One would focus on plugging the gaps in the AIT in certain "priority areas," notably harmonizing the web of conflicting regulations businesses must contend with, opening up government procurement, and eliminating some of the agreement's many exceptions.
A second, more ambitious approach would essentially tear up the AIT and start from scratch. Where the AIT is based on a "positive list" approach — only those sectors specifically mentioned are included — a new agreement would be based on the "negative list" approach increasingly used in international trade negotiations: everything is in unless it is specifically excluded.
So far, so lovely. But what will the minister do if the premiers give him the back of their hand? I said the provinces were on weak ground, but that doesn't mean they realize it. After all, if logic had anything to do with it, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in. Worse, how will he avoid another AIT — that is, letting the provinces tie him up in negotiations that end up achieving little?
There is an answer, if the minister is prepared to use it. The federal paper makes only oblique reference to it, but the feds potentially hold the whip hand in these discussions, in the form of the Constitution. While the issue has never been definitively tested at the Supreme Court, there is much scholarship to suggest Ottawa has all the power it needs to force the provinces into compliance with the common market.
A 2010 paper for the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, Citizen of One, Citizen of the Whole, argues forcefully that Section 91 of the 1867 Constitution, which assigns the federal government responsibility for, inter alia, "The Regulation of Trade and Commerce," is sufficient in itself. The provision "unambiguously and decisively gives the federal government control over internal as well as international trade, including the power to strike down measures that deliberately, or accidentally, impose significant barriers to internal trade."
As if that were not enough, the institute points to Section 121, which stipulates that "All Articles of the Growth, Produce, or Manufacture of any one of the Provinces shall, from and after the Union, be admitted free into each of the other Provinces." Reading the two provisions together, the report's authors assert "there is simply no room for doubt that those who created Canada wanted the federal government to have, and use, complete authority to rid Canadians of barriers to the free movement of goods, services, labour and capital within their national home."
If the feds have the power, why don't they simply use it? Why the blather about "working with our provincial partners"? Perhaps they don't want to be accused of being the heavies. Or perhaps it's because the feds themselves, for all their One Canada talk, have fairly limited ambitions for the project.
Any serious modern trade agreement, after all, must contend not just with the free movement of goods or people, but investment. The biggest impediments to capital flows are often not overt restrictions, such as foreign investment controls, but subsidies. Problem: the provinces are hardly the only ones guilty of using subsidies to distort and balkanize the flow of investment within Canada. The federal government is as much to blame, paying tens of billions in subsidies to business annually through scores of "regional development" and "technological innovation" programs designed to steer investment into this province or that riding. Is it really prepared to give up that political gift-bag, forever?
A federal government that asserted leadership over the economic union in the manner the Constitution prescribes would expose itself to the kind of scrutiny it would probably prefer to avoid. Not only would it have to account for whatever exceptions the provinces were allowed — can you imagine the feds ordering the provinces to open their hydroelectric monopolies to competition? — but it would come under pressure to subject itself to the same tests it applied to the provinces. Which is why we will probably still be discussing the same issue 20 years from now.

Elderfield to step down and waive €100,000 bonus
Financial regulator planning to leave post in six months and return to UK to pursue other interests

Central Bank deputy governor Matthew Elderfield is to step down from the role to pursue other interests in the UK.
In a statement today, the Central Bank said Mr Elderfield would be stepping down as deputy governor in six months time.
Mr Elderfield, who is also the financial regulator, has waived his €100,000 bonus entitlement at the end of his contract of employment.
Central Bank governor Patrick Honohan said Mr Elderfield had accepted the role of financial regulator at a key moment in the history of the State.
"With energy, commitment and integrity he has managed the necessary transformation in our approach to the stabilisation, regulation and supervision of financial institutions."
Minister for Finance Michael Noonan stated: "I would like to thank Matthew Elderfield for his work as deputy governor financial regulation, and wish him every success in his future career.
"He took up this post at a period of great financial instability in Ireland and has played a key role in greatly enhancing the regulatory environment and bringing stability to the Irish financial system.
"There is no doubt that Mr Elderfield's skill, expertise and experience will be a loss to the Central Bank of Ireland, but he is leaving at a time when normality is returning to the financial system and the Central Bank is suitably prepared to deal with his departure in six months' time."
Mr Elderfield took up his role at the Central Bank in January 2010. He was previously chief executive of the Bermuda Monetary Authority from June 2007.

Bicyclists found a tough test of endurance this weekend at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
"This is a very unique type of race for them, to have us here overnight," says Tim Scott, race director for 24 Hours of Colorado Springs.
Some of the riders, finishing up at the Air Force Academy this weekend, will have covered more than 150 miles in a single day. For those looking for a win, it's not a race for beginners.
"At this altitude and this course is a tough course, that's an amazing individual effort," Scott says.
Teams of two and four people, as well as some tough individuals, race for 24 hours. They take breaks if needed, but the winner is the one who covers the most ground in that time. Many of the riders go straight through the night.
"It's just a cool experience out there riding in the dark," says Shawn Gregory, a rider on a four-person team. Gregory says he normally rides alone at events like this one, but he says no matter how aggressively you're riding, Falcon Trail is a tough course.
"There's a lot of suffering there in the middle of the night," Gregory explains.
Some might ask why they do it.
"I've been trying to explain that to my wife for a long time, I'm not sure," Gregory says.
Somehow the riders are pushed to the finish, but that's not where this race ends. The money leftover after the race will go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
"Four to five thousand dollars I think, I'm hoping for that much," says Scott. "If not that much this year, then certainly that much and more next year."
It's a goal several at the race are proud of, but it may be easier for the race director to talk about next year than the riders -- many are looking for a little rest between now and then.

NATCHITOCHES, LA - The real-life inspiration for a beloved character in the internationally acclaimed film "Steel Magnolias" is being remembered Saturday by the city of Natchitoches on the hit movie's 25th anniversary.
The dedication ceremony will honor Susan Harling Robinson, the inspiration for one of the film's central characters who, like the the real-life Susan, dies an untimely death. The April 26 event begins at 2 p.m. at the memorial garden off Pine Street in Natchitoches.
A reception will follow the dedication at the Samuel Guy House located at 309 Pine Street.
In 1985, Susan died of kidney failure. She was the mother of a two-year-old son named Robert. Susan's death was so traumatic for the Harling family that Robert penned the story in ten days. "Steel Magnolias" was picked up as a play, but it was turned quickly into box office hit in 1989. The movie, filmed in Natchitoches, was nominated for several awards and remains beloved by millions throughout the world.
"Steel Magnolias" is a true story turned into a comedy-drama film based about a close-knit circle of friends whose lives come together in a beauty parlor in Natchitoches. The movie is based on the lives of Robert Harling's mother, who is played by Sally Field, and his sister Susan who is represented by Julia Roberts.

I pray for an easy and fast recovery, so i don't have to deal with "i told you so" looks...
Having BA hasn't always interested me, even though it was a topic of many discussions since I was in late teens. But it was more like a discussion of girls with curly hair wishing their hair were straight. I was born and raised in Eastern Europe where it is a norm to be tall, slim and flat. So I've never felt inadequate. Plus, I've always enjoyed attention from boys and felt proportionate at 115 lbs. I am not sure at what point my interest in BA turned into an actual want, but it did. And in the past two years not only I haven't changed my mind, but started to have nightmares where I wake up looking for my breasts and getting scared not finding any:) Hence, this journey. I do need to add that in the past few years I started to exercise more with more weights (I'm up to 5 lbs, lol) and my arms and shoulders became a little bigger. I'm still 32 B bra, which is deceiving, since I am closer to AA than A, but cups in those are too close together. Lately my massive VS bras started to irritate to the point where I would wear them OVER a tank top (w/o them I'm too flat) my biggest satisfaction will be to purge "Miraculousness" out if my draws! I've always worn large bras, so unless I'm wearing a bikini, most will not notice the change.
My surgery is May 21.
My stats: 5'7", 120 lbs. 30-25-33. 37 mother of 2, breastfed both, but my chest size didn't change even during that, not a lot of skin to work with. Have my pre-op May 15. I'm starting with small A-cup and my goal is to fill C-D bra cup (breast size B-C) I haven't had my official "fitting", but the PS brings 6 different sizes into the OR to see what looks most natural. So far he recommended mod+, under muscle, periariolar incision and said that will bring in sizes starting at 275... I want to look natural, but don't want to go through this and wish I've gone bigger.
So far, I've seen girls that have a similar starting point as me end up looking amazing with 250's and with 400's, so I will have to trust my PS to make the right decision OR (Scary). I'm just worried that I didn't communicate my expectations clearly, or he heard a different story. I think I'm more scared to end up bigger, than smaller.
I work part time behind computer and not worried to go back to work, am concerned about the drive to/from which is 40 minutes each way. Just in case, I'm planning to take 12 days off.
My biggest concern right now is how to tell my two middle-school-aged-boys who express interest in breasts... So far I'm leaning toward not telling anything until the day of the surgery (no point of worrying them), and just tell them that I'm getting a "female problem taken care of"... Anyone has recommendations for me?

Ten days ago Grazia Daily brought you the news that rumours were swirly in the fashion industry that Marc Jacobs was being considered for the top job at Dior, to replace John Galliano after allegations of racist and anti-Semitic outbursts saw him ousted from the fashion house in March. Back then, there where whispers that Marc had been in recent talks with LVMH boss Bernard Arnault to discuss the possibility of overseeing both Louis Vuitton AND Christian Dior.
Well, this afternoon brings an interesting new development, as industry bible WWD suddenly seems to be reporting on this story, under the headline "Marc Jacobs to Dior? Talks Get Serious," claiming that a source has confirmed that Marc is indeed being considered for the Dior role.
But not only that, the story also claims that Phoebe Philo, currently head designer at LVMH stablemate Celine, "could be first in line to succeed Jacobs at Vuitton", as well as continuing her work at Celine, claiming she has already been in talks and is "intrigued". There's no doubt Philo's pared-down luxe could work very well at Louis Vuitton, and Dior would be a great match for Jacobs' distinctive brand of dramatic elegance and showmanship.
Meanwhile, WWD has also narrowed down the field of other possible Dior contenders, claiming that according to a "source" Lanvin's Alber Elbaz, Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquière, Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton, Haider Ackermann and Hedi Slimane were all approached for the top job, although Elbaz and Ghesquière, "both of whom have equity stakes in their fashion houses and strong personal commitments to their brands, have withdrawn themselves from the running", while Burton declined to enter the race at all. Talks with Ackermann and Slimane meanwhile "did not end in an agreement".
The court will deliver its ruling on Galliano's hearing on September 8th. Dior executives have said they will take all the time they need to find a new designer, and consider all options.
Do you think Marc Jacobs would be a good designer for Dior? Would Phoebe Philo work at Louis Vuitton?

MEP tries to ban lightbulbs with mercury amendment
@David Shepherd
The liquid metal isn't that much of a problem, it's the vapours it gives off, very nasty.
As for the sodium, I remember one lad at school who would always drop some down the sink to watch it go. One lesson the teacher said "Today we're going to be using sodium, I don't want any of it going down the sink, Fred Bloggs do you hear me?!" (name changed of course).
About 2 minutes into the experiment that was a huge boom from the back of the room, we all turned to see Fred standing there, white faced. Sure enough he'd chucked some sodium down the sink, but hadn't thought to rinse the sink out first... Whoever had used it last had just tipped acid down it, and not rinsed it either!
He didn't do that again!
CPS apologises for DNA disc blunder

Pick up laptop, walk out of office.
Now tell me, look at your disk, the one you lost for a year, and tell me if you can tell it's been copied.
Given that it was lost, and therefore out of sight for a year, I could have taken it home and copied the ones and zeros off it by hand in that time, still without anyone knowing!
Muppets the lot of them!

Nokia shows an Orange face to the world
Oh good...
Another reason to avoid Orange branded phones.
Once branded you are tied to getting firmware updates when the operator decides you can, which is usually months/years after they have come out for generic phones as they have to sit on their arses for ages, and then crowbar in all their custom bits you didn't really want in the first place.
Only saving grace I have found so far is at least on the current Nokia N series you can change the model number to a generic one (warranty void of course) and then flash it with generic firmware from the Nokia website.

In some of the seedier parts of town, especially after dark when the attendants lock themselves away behind the bullet proof glass, and the interchange of money is done though a metal draw, insisting on pre-pay is pretty much the norm. Especially if you happen to ride a motorbike and can't be arsed to take your crash helmet off.
However I have to wonder about forecourt layout, I know plenty of garages that are just surrounded by a curb with a bit of grass... so avoiding the spikes is just a simple matter of driving slowly up the curb, over the grass, and then away to freedom. If you happen to be in a 4x4, you wouldn't even need to do it slowly.
Maybe I should set up a business just making "Warning! Anti-thief spike strips in operation" signs.

Good grief...

He's obviously a complete tw*t, and I pity those who have to live anywhere near him.
Why don't the authorities just download the clips, and haul the moron into court and hit him with all the charges. (vixy.net does a good line in youtube downloading).

Sikorsky X2 superwhirlybird enters ground spin-up phase
"Wasn't there a design where two lots of rotors intermeshed?"
Do you mean tandem rotors, one on each end and a body slung between? These are more common than you realise. They have feature in designs dating from the late 40s.
They're used in heavy lifting helos like the CH-47 Chinook (aka the Prince Willy taxi).

So whilst the US of A declares war on 1,000,000 home PCs across the globe, anyone from outside the US of A will wonder why they seem to be having problems visiting any US hosted website as the pipes coming out are all clogged up with Uncle Sam's cyber-nuke fest.

Franco robbed Sir Cliff of Eurovision win
@Captain Jamie
It's okay, I found some gloves :-D
Eurovision is always amusing...
You can sum up the entire politics of Europe just by watching.
For example, Ireland and UK are generally nice to each other.
France will never give the UK any meaningful votes, and vice-versa.
All the ex-Russian states are so terrified of upsetting their big red neighbour, they always give it lots of votes, even if the song is purely the sound of a Yak breaking wind process by a Vocoder. At the rate Russia is crumbling round the edges, there will soon be so many ex-Russian states that Russia will win every year!

How to destroy 60 hard drives an hour
Not as much fun as my method... For years I've been destroying old hard drives for work... I used to take them apart and use the platters to make wind chimes. Given that most drives stripe data across multiple platters, once they're removed from the spindles and strung together (also involved having some small holes drilled in them), you'd really be hard pushed to get any sense out of them.
However, recently I had a big batch of them which the boss insisted I destroyed completely without any chance of data being recovered, he even asked for proof... Easy... Line the drives up and slice them in half (case and all) with an oxyacetylene cutting torch. Much fun... I took half a drive back to the office and asked if he'd like me to plug it in!
I'll admit thermite would be more spectacular, but with a torch you can be far more creative... I'll see what I can do...
The icon, well come one, it's gotta be hasn't it!
Police go slow with encryption key terror powers
This act is rather concerning...
I, and I'm sure many of you out there in techie land, have files that are encrypted lurking on your harddrive, which we do not have the key too... Many items of software, especially shareware, send you a licence key file which you have to either copy into a specific directory.
So how exactly do the feds determine which files are encrypted and known by you, and which are nothing to do with you really, and you don't have any idea what the key is?
The stupid thing is if you really want to encrypt and hide things, there are many encryption tools available (truecrypt for example) which can create an encrypted volume with multiple keys, which means you can conform to the law and provide the cops with a key, which will open the volume. What they don't realise is there is another key, which will open another volume from the same file where you can hide whatever you like. From the encrypted volume file it is impossible to tell if it contains only the one encrypted collection of files, or if there is a second one hidden in there too.
Lenovo ThinkPad X300 sub-notebook

Only thing I would complain about is the screen. The reviewer seems to think having a widescreen is a plus point... To me they're annoying. I have 1400x1050 of real estate here on the R52, and I like having 1050 vertical. To me laptop with widescreens feel like I'm operating it from inside a post box.

Result, the list is pointless.
Needless to say, as I possess a pretty common name, I don't intend on going anywhere near the US of A.

MP launches ten minute rule bill on in-UK roaming
There's something very important you need to know about mobiles in the UK.
First we have things called NIMBYs, these are moaning characters (usually retired - Think Victor Meldew, assuming you know who he is). They complain that the view from their telescope over the trees at the back have been blighted by an ugly phone mast.
Interestingly they're also the first to complain about lack of signal on their mobile phone.
Personally I'd be more impressed to see some phone coverage provided in the underground, it's damn annoying getting messages delivered 2 hours late (the retry period on some networks seems to be based on geological time) just because you happened to be stuck in a packed tube carriage when someone tried to send it to you... Then again, ringing phones could get annoying... How about just have SMS work?
Botnet agent plays lost sheep to avoid detection
There is a simple solution to most of this.
Most botnets are used to send spam, the zombied machine connects to whichever server is the MX for a domain, and pretends to be another email server relaying a message for one of it's users.
So by default ISP's should restrict connection to SMTP servers so end user machines cannot connect to any SMTP servers apart from the ones owned by the ISP.
Your run of the mill AOL,Tiscali,BT customer uses the email address that came with the ISP, so they'd be fine. The rest probably use web based systems like gmail/hotmail etc.
The more techy savvy of us, who lets face it aren't really the big risk when it comes to ending up on a botnet, would of course have some kind of web interface on the ISP so we can permit other SMTP servers, or open it up for all. Please note web interface, not a call centre in India! (Done that once this week already thanks!)
It's not as if it's a hard thing to spot from an ISP level. They spend so much cash and technology mangling P2P, it wouldn't take 10 minutes to spot zombie behaviour, nobody normal initiates over a thousand SMTP connection in a day for starters. That would be enough to pass on their details to the sales team and send them an internet security package, or at least some advice on protection!
Skype comes to mobile (almost)
Worse than that... WiFi capable handsets like the N95 from Orange/Vodafone etc, are crippled at source so apps like Fring can't do voip over WiFi and it has to go over GPRS, which is definitely not something to try when you're roaming!
Unless you happen to change your handset model number to a generic Nokia one, and then flash the handset with a new firmware release... All theory of course... *cough* would never do it *cough* it didn't really work like a charm and save my bacon in a shopping centre in Eastern Europe... *cough*

eBay slams UK.gov touting ban
Nanny state strikes again...
Don't HM Gov have anything better to do? You know, like selling us further down the river to the US of Europe?
If I buy a couple of tickets for one of these premium events and then find I'm unable to go, why the hell should I be prevented from selling a ticket I cannot use on ebay?
I guess eBay should be able to set a max bid on a ticket, so a ticket cannot be sold above face value, or maybe face value plus 5% to cover the eBay commission. That sounds like a nice middle ground solution to me, although we all know what eBay are like at policing listings. I've lost count how many listings I have reported that have "BMW not Audi not VW not Merc not Ford" in their title. I could give them a regular expression to spot these if I could find someone willing to listen!
As someone else has already mentioned, e-touting is pretty new. I'm sure all the touts can remember how to do it the traditional way in a big coat with large pockets outside the venue. "Pssst, 'ere gov, do you need a ticket?"
If they really want to stop this, surely the thing to do is stop the ticket agents selling 200 tickets to one person in the first place!
I wouldn't park there, mate - Honda adds sat nav warnings
@Lazy Gun
Yes and no...
I own two Honda motorcycles, and now it's getting to that time of year again, I know I can toss a coin, pick either once, and start it with ease even after an extended winter holiday.
I also drive an 11 year old German car (BMW) with over 150,000 miles on the clock, which has cost me less than £500 in parts during the last 3 years, a big chunk of that would be the headlamp and radiator that the boulder throwing motorway gritter took out for me last winter. Apart from that it's just been brake pads, filters, oil and a couple of hours of my time servicing it myself. I can't fault it.

Dark Rum up to 7yo - 2014
The Rum Masters (The Spirits Business)
Dark Rum up to 7yo - 2013
The nose is sweet and buttery with notes of toffee and coffee, a little spice and dried peels with notes of orchard fruits and biscuits. The palate is full and rich with notes of cigar box, particularly the cedar wood thereof, notes of orchard fruits, tof
This was nationalized after centuries of exploitation of the Cuban people. Cuban rum is the best, the only kind I buy here in Canada. Why can't Bacardi make a better one, if they're so smart? Because it's the Cuban soil that makes it good, not some recipe. Long live the revolution!
30th September 2014
Yes, HC7 is totally different from the 'regular' Bacardi rum we buy here in the USA. The difference is due to the type oc raw products used, primarily the sugar cane which is said to yield much sweeter sugar than other types...that and the soil, etc.
It should be noted that the recipe for this product originates with the original Bacardi family in Cuba and datesn to the 1800's. Sadly, it was srolen along with the distillery by the communists when they took over the island. Thankfully, the Bacardi family somehow saw to it that their name would not be used in the manufacture of this popular now communist product.
You can read all about it here www.bacardi.com.
21st September 2014
the Cuban version is so much better than the Bacardi version you are forced to buy in the US.
8th August 2014
Being from the crazy USA I can only enjoy this delight while abroad but that's part of the fun. Nonetheless, it is a style of rum that is lost on most Americans as it is not super oaked, rather it displays subtle spice, sweet dried fruit and rich toffee / coffee notes. One would not be remiss comparing it to Haitian rum in style and finesse, though superior in oak / distillate integration. And the price!? Fuugettaboutit! They may as well be giving it away. Enjoy!
12th June 2014
We love the 7 yr Havana club .......a great sipping rum we always bring home Everytime we are in Cuba......going back many years. But I have a question someone might have an answer to. we have just noticed in 2 of the bottles, in the bottom. Avery small, white plastic or glass marble. ANYONE else noticed this and why it would be there. The rum was still as good as ever but wonder why these were in the bottle .? Can someone explain this odd addition to the rum ? ! Sue from Ontario, Canada.
23rd February 2014
Having just tried this (a few times) in Cuba recently, I can say this is now definitely one of my favourite rums. Very similar in sweetness/toffee flavour to Appleton Estate.
14th January 2014
Great sipping rum and very good for making premium cocktails/ drinks with.
8th December 2013
To call this a "sipping rum" is very misleading. It simply is not good enough to be enjoyed neat. It is fine as a cocktail ingredient but, to be honest, there are much better rums available for lower prices. Mount Gay being a prime example - much more complexity to the flavour and much smoother. Again though, it's not a sipping rum.
31st October 2013
I expected a good, decent aged rum. This was some surprise. Most excellent sipping rum and great in a daiquiri too.

Press Release
GreenPages Technology Solutions One of "Best Places to Work in Maine" Five Years Running
Kittery IT Consulting and Integration Company Ranks in Top Twenty-Eight Companies Statewide; Recognized for Workplace Excellence and Innovation
Kittery, ME—December 5, 2011—GreenPages Technology Solutions, a national IT consulting and integration organization, announced today that it has been named one of the "Best Places to Work in Maine." Run by the Best Companies Group, the "Best Places" program recognizes companies that have established and consistently foster outstanding workplace environments. This is the fifth year in a row that GreenPages has been awarded a spot on the list.
"It is extremely exciting to be on this list for a fifth consecutive year," said Belinda Braley, GreenPages' Vice President of Human Resources. "We appreciate the feedback our employees take the time to provide, and this recognition speaks volumes about the strong culture we have developed at GreenPages."
Because all of GreenPages' corporate IT functions (both voice and data) are able to operate from any location, the company is uniquely positioned to offer employees flexible work schedules with the option of working from home. The company is also growing, adding talented IT professionals and engineers (20 since April) to ensure its customers across the U.S. receive the highest level of IT solutions possible.
Finalists for the "Best Places to Work in Maine" were assessed by the Best Companies Group. Entrants were ranked on policies and procedures as well as responses from the GreenPages' employees. The program marks the most recent step in a long-term initiative to encourage growth and excellence throughout all Maine companies.
GreenPages accepted the award at The Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM) Maine State Council's awards and recognition dinner. Program partners included the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, Employment Times, SHRM Maine State Council, and Mainebiz.
"The information technology labor market in our industry is extremely competitive, and we know that in order to attract and retain top talent we must use this feedback thoughtfully and continue to work to remain an employer of choice. The fact that our employees are truly our strongest asset is not something we take for granted," added Braley.
Now in its sixth year, the "Best Places" program is a long-term initiative intended to encourage growth and excellence throughout all Maine companies.

November 28, 2014
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — The head of Interpol says he believes police will retrieve valuable paintings that were stolen from a museum in the Netherlands last year, including works by Picasso, Monet and Matisse.
Dutch detectives and a prosecutor are currently in Romania to investigate the possible involvement of three men— arrested Monday in Romania— in the Oct. 16 theft from Rotterdam's Kunsthal gallery of seven extremely valuable paintings.
Interpol Secretary General Ronald K. Noble said Thursday he is confident the works will be recovered.
Romanian police and Noble declined to provide more information citing the sensitivity of the case.
"The people involved are probably watching " this press conference, Noble said.

Greenhouse Chill
Has the Supreme Court frozen climate change litigation?
Court cited Georgia v. Tennessee Copper Co. ,8 a century-old case in which the Court upheld the State of Georgia's standing for an injury to it in the capacity of "quasi-sovereign" in seeking to protect its citizens from air pollution originating from its borders. 9 Analogously in Massachusetts, the Court held the Commonwealth should also have standing for its "well-founded desire to preserve its sovereign territory." 10
On the merits, the Court in a 5-to-4 slight majority agreed with the petitioners that CO is an air pollutant within the "sweeping definition" of the term under section 302(g) of the CAA, 11 and ruled the EPA's reading of the statutory provision with regard to the definition of air pollutant is unreasonable and the EPA can't deny its authority to regulate CO2 emissions under section 202(a)(1) of the CAA. 12
Thus, in Massachusetts the Supreme Court held the CAA authorizes federal regulation of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and the EPA had misread the act when it denied a rulemaking petition seeking controls on GHG emissions from new motor vehicles. In response, the EPA commenced a rulemaking under section 111 of the CAA, 13 to set limits on GHG emissions from new, modified, and existing fossil-fuel fired power plants. The EPA has committed to issuing a final rule by May 2012 but it remains to be seen whether or not it will stick with that timetable; on Sept. 15, 2011, the agency said it would miss its September deadline for issuing proposed rules.
AEP v. Connecticut
The U.S. Supreme Court on June 20 decided the second landmark case in the climate change context, AEP, which is also the first climate change-related tort case decided by the Court. The Supreme Court through Justice Ginsburg unanimously (8-0) 14 held the federal common law nuisance action seeking injunctive relief in the form of emissions caps on stationary source GHG emissions is displaced by the CAA and the EPA's regulatory activity that the act authorizes. An equally divided court (4-4) affirmed the holding of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit that plaintiffs had standing to bring the case. The court didn't reach the Tennessee Valley Authority's prudential standing arguments, or base its decision on the political question doctrine defense advocated by petitioners. Nor did the Court reach the plaintiffs' state common law claims.
In 2004, Connecticut and a coalition of seven other states (New York, California, Iowa, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin), the City of New York, and three land trusts sued American Electric Power, American Electric Power Service, Southern Company, Tennessee Valley Authority, Xcel Energy, and Cinergy, seeking an order to require the defendants to abate the public nuisance of global warming. 15 The plaintiffs alleged the defendants' coal-operated power plants create a public nuisance under federal and state common laws. The plaintiffs claimed the defendants were "substantial contributors to elevated levels of carbon dioxide and global warming," since their annual emissions constitute "approximately one quarter of the U.S. electric power sector's carbon dioxide emissions and

- A rewarding experienceMrDanVIPDined on 11/22/2014Although we had to wait 15 minutes, the owner was very gratious and offered us a glass of wine. Very authentic (I mean they were speaking Italian to everybody) and the food was very good. Be prepared to wait because this is a very small restaurant, but it is worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We really enjoy dining at Chianti.LoriVIPDined on 11/15/2014We really enjoy dining at Chianti, we've been there many times and will continue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This is our favorite restaurant in the hoodOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/14/2014This place is a neighborhood gem. The service is excellent every time we go. The veal is the best in Denver.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FreqDinerVIPDined on 11/14/2014Small, crowded but nice. Tried the pastas. Good with large portion sizes. Nice neighborhood restaurant, but also nice for family celebrations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chianti is always so warm and invitingLilsVIPDined on 11/14/2014Hostess Stephanie always makes us feel so welcome. The servers are super friendly and efficient. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I especially like the veal entrees.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dawnDined on 11/8/2014I have to say Chiantis was a wonderful surprise. The location is somewhat deceiving but the food was amazing. My only complaint would be the bottles of wine are quite expensive and the restaurant is very crowded. We were seated in front of the wall of wine and we were interrupted several times for a server to get a bottle of wine. We willSpecial Features:
- Like a dinner in ItalyalohagirlDined on 11/7/2014We have been to Chianti's three times. All have been amazing. And, every time the very crowded nature of the small neighborhood restaurant has made us feel like we are in a real Italian restaurant. Be aware, they do not have a bar or a large space to wait for your table. But, that is part of the appeal for us. Truly a neighborhood strip-mall gem. The specials are tasty and the pasta and gnocchi are delightful. The wine list is exceptional with choices and fair prices. The dessert profiteroles are a MUST. Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great P;acephlojo57Dined on 10/31/2014This unassuming location in a strip center belies what a great place this is. It is hard to find veal on many menus. The selection here was fantastic. Had a great meal with good friends.Special Features:
- Never disappointed at ChiantiwannabeDined on 10/30/2014I have been to Chianti several times and the food and service are always top notch. This dining experience was no different. The daily specials are quite extensive, several choices, and the regular menu has many good choices. The chef does an excellent job preparing and presenting the food and the wait staff is top notch!Special Features:
- Greenwood Village Italian GemFoodieinAnotherLifeDined on 10/28/2014I've eaten there twice now: delicious veal stuffed ravioli once and sautéed salmon, perfectly cooked the second time. Homemade pasta. Wonderful bruschetta and caprese.Special Features:
- My favorite Denver restaurant!terrysmDined on 10/28/2014I visit this great restaurant as often as I can. It is my choice for any special occasion, and I have never been disappointed. The only thing that could be improved is the noise level. By mid-evening, it is almost too noisy to have a conversation. But I will still go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good for lunchham89sneDined on 10/28/2014Took a friend here for a birthday lunch and it was wonderful! Great service, excellent food and quiet atmosphere. Since we hadn't seen each other in a while, we stayed a long time and that was no problem with Chianti's. Also, they gave us a complimentary dessert for the birthday. My only complaint is that we got glasses of a house wine and it was very expensive for a little wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome food!50minutewaitVIPDined on 10/24/2014Best pasta dishes that we have had in a long time! Our server Louis was outstanding!
- Little Italy!foodieDined on 10/22/2014Good Italian fare - great staff - nice ambiance! Recommend the squash ravioli.Special Features:
- Awesome as usualOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/21/2014We been here several times and have always had great food, service and atmosphere. We bring pretty much everyone who comes to visit us here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a TreatBillyMacVIPDined on 10/18/2014We are locals and are never disappointed with either the service or the food at Chianti's. Luis and his new partner will have a great run operating in Rashid's stead as he takes on new challenges for a period. They were handling the brisk business very well on Saturday. We usually go during the week and the room is less busy. If you've never been, try it. Their big "sisters" Venice, GV and LoDo can't ever have the ambiance that this intimate spot affords.Special Features:
- Ran out of crepes???FayeDined on 10/18/2014Food was just ok. Service was excellent. Had the special soup of the day...was potato.Was not bad, but didn't taste like potato.Husband had Caesar salad,it was fine. I had rabbit and ricotta ravioli. Dough was hard, couldn't find any ricotta. Way too salty. Ate a few, took the rest home and tossed it.Husband had lobster and shrimp ravioli, it was good. Dessert menu listed 2 crepes which sounded yummy. We ordered them, waiter said they were "out" of crepes! How can you be out of something that takes 2 minutes to prepare and only involves flour, milk and maybe eggs? It was early in the evening. We had the special dessert, cinnamon cannoli. Just ok,couldn't taste any cinnamon. One fresh strawberry was the best part. Won't go back.
- neighborhood restaurantAngelaDined on 10/18/2014very busy and tables close together. services was rushed. good was goodSpecial Features:
- Takes me back to ItalyIrishItalianDined on 10/13/2014The most authentic Northern Italian food I have had in the US since my mom cooked Italian recipes at home. Loved the food and the waiters were wonderful. They really want to know if there is anything they can improve. My friend talked with them for a while concerning the thickness of the mousse which was a little bit rich. The entrees were excellent. I keep coming back to the rigatoni! We will continue to visit the resturant in the future.Special Features:
- Great Little Italian RestaurantsteveoVIPDined on 10/4/2014We've been to Chianti's several times and have yet to be disappointed by the food or the service. Each of us ordered a different dish - veal, ravioli, chicken, seafood - and each was well prepared with great sauce to compliment the primary ingredient. The staff was highly attentive even though the restaurant was packed. [Definitely recommend a reservation.] Our only "complaint" is that because floor space is limited, the tables are very closely spaced causing the occasional bumping of chair backs and quiet conversations are not easily held. We'll be back again.Special Features:
- Like EuropeAL4AstoriaDined on 10/4/2014Small and tight but good foods and nice wine list. Must do reservations. All male wait staff in starched white shirts. Had Chippino and it was tantalizing. Melon and proscutto for appetizer..generous!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First TimersFoodieDined on 10/2/2014We loved Chianti and it came highly recommended from my sister in law and brother in law. This was a great place, great food and my little 4 month old grandson seemed to enjoy it too. Next time we are in Denver we will be sure to come back.Special Features:
- Another great dinnerElisaVIPDined on 9/26/2014Thank you Chianti for always providing such great service and food. I enjoyed dinner with my 8 and 11 year old who are also big fans of Chianti.Special Features:
- DinnerChescoDined on 9/25/2014My wife & I went here for our anniversary. It was a good food night. We had several courses; antipasto, pasta, Entree & dessert. Overall the food as good, nice menu, little pricey for some pastas. Not a place to go often ,though, because of that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not since I left NY,....soozDined on 9/23/2014I grew up in an Italian neighborhood and have missed that genuine Italian place around the way feel. This place has it. Go. To heck with those corporate chain phoney operations. The real deal in a place I would never have looked.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/16/2014The potato soup was SUPER SALTY, it was not a pleasant dish. There were 3 of us women celebrating our birthdays. The waiter stated "We'll do something special for your birthdays.. .which unfortunately never happened. My friend received the wrong entree so we had no choice but to partake of ours as she waited a minimum of 10 min or more to receive hers. The food other than the soup was very good, I had the veal. I hope the soup dish improves !! LMSpecial Features:
- Side trip to ItalyJHH80439Dined on 9/10/2014We SO enjoyed our first ever meal at Chianti Ristorante! Fortunately, we had made a reservation, as it was completely filled, at 7:00 on a Wednesday night. We each had a wine we loved. Choosing from the menu was not easy--there were so many great-sounding dishes.Husband's Mediterranean salad was beautifully presented--wrapped in cucumber slices--and delicious. My Chianti salad was just what I hoped for. His entree, a sea bass dish with clams from the day's Specials menu, was out of this world! My light-as-air gnocchi--again a hard choice from a selection of several gnocchi preparations--with grilled pear slices and a Gorgonzola cream sauce, was to die for!Profiteroles with coffee was a perfect ending, topped only by a splash of limoncello.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very goodBobDVIPDined on 9/10/2014Great recommendation on wine. Ordered veal saltimboca which I like a lot. My wife had carbonara which was even better. Still we took enough home for. LunchSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood treasureArtTartDined on 9/10/2014You can't beat the butternut squash ravioli with its sumptuous, delicate sauce and flash-fried sage leaves. The bread is so delicious that you'll be tempted to fill up on it, and the salads are presented like works of art! Lunch service is very good.Special Features:
- Anniversary DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/5/2014This was the second time my husband and I have eaten at Chianti. Both times were fantastic. They really know how to make outstanding sauces. We were celebrating our anniversary this time, so they have us each a glass of champagne in the house and were thoughtful enough to wish us a happy anniversary and marriage several times.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful restaurantcnoteVIPDined on 9/4/2014Chianti was great as always. Salads are wonderful with great variety and all entrees are special. The chioppino is fantastic.Special Features:
- Hope our next visit is betterDiningInDenverDined on 9/2/2014We dine at Chianti for special occasions - birthdays, anniversary, valentine's day - for excellent food and service. The service during this visit was disappointing - especially because it was our anniversary. The restaurant is small, but a table by the wall can be somewhat intimate, which is what we asked for in our reservation. We were seated in the middle of the restaurant in an area used as a through way for patrons and wait staff. The wait staff seemed a bit confused about which table to serve. They finally offered us their wine list, but only after waiting on patrons who arrived after us. The chaos took the pizazz out of our anniversary meal. Hope service is better during next visit.

- Excellent Dining experienceStingrayDined on 8/23/2014Over all an excellent experience, the server was most attentive and very pleasant. The food was much better than expected. The reason for four star is that the dining area was a bit over crowded resulting in a couple of customers brushing against the backs of our chairs. Chianti had a very busy evening while we dined. I will try to return soon for another great dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
