Match Preview
Colback ready for relegation scrap Midfielder Jack Colback has told manager Steve Bruce to count him in for Sunderland's fight to stay in the Barclays Premier League. The 21-year-old academy graduate was handed his first league start for the club at Birmingham last Saturday as injuries and a dismal run of results forced Bruce into yet another reshuffle. Colback did not let his manager down with an assured display, although he could not prevent the Black Cats slipping to a 2-0 defeat, the club's eighth in nine games. Bruce hopes to have senior men Kieran Richardson and Sulley Muntari back for the vital clash with Wigan, who gave their own hopes of avoiding the drop a significant boost with a 3-1 win at Blackpool last weekend. However, whether they make it or not, Colback is ready to roll up his sleeves once again in the hunt for precious points. Sunderland face the Latics and then Fulham at the Stadium of Light in their next two games, and while their own fans have grown increasingly restless in recent weeks, the midfielder knows that would change instantly with two positive results. Colback, who was born and raised on Tyneside, but has spent his formative years in football on Wearside, said: "You feel the passion of the crowd every time you play, and it's great to be playing for your hometown club, so to speak. "I have been here since I was 10, so it's as good as, so it's just great to play for them. "It's just unfortunate the way it has been going at the minute. "We need to try to turn it around, and with two home games coming up... "The way the league has gone this year, it looks all doom and gloom now, but two wins and we could be back in the top 10 and everyone forgets about the past eight or nine games." Bruce will make late checks on a trio of players. Striker Danny Welbeck remains a doubt after picking up a hamstring strain at Birmingham last weekend, while Kieran Richardson and Sulley Muntari (both calf) are battling against the clock to be fit. Anton Ferdinand (hamstring) is unlikely to make it with fellow defenders Titus Bramble (knee) and John Mensah (adductor tear) already ruled out. Striker Fraizer Campbell and keeper Craig Gordon both underwent knee surgery earlier this week and will be missing until well into next season, and Trevor Carson has been recalled from his loan spell at Brentford to provide the back-up to Simon Mignolet, who will continue in goal despite a poor afternoon at St Andrews. Meanwhile, Wigan manager Roberto Martinez believes his side have hit form at the right time but is having to play down expectations this weekend. Latics, widely written off as relegation certainties just a few weeks ago, have given themselves a great chance of avoiding the drop by collecting seven points from their last four games. Last week's win at Blackpool lifted them out of the bottom three for the first time in three months and they now, unusually, find themselves as favourites for the trip to Sunderland. The Black Cats were 15 points ahead of Wigan in January but that difference will be cut to just one if Martinez can engineer another win at the Stadium of Light. The Spaniard said: "The return of points has been very pleasing and now we are just excited about the last five games. "We are always confident in our own ability and I feel we are going to be confident in the next five games. "But I don't think you can pick a right or wrong moment to play a side. "We don't get carried away in terms of looking at form because we know on their day Sunderland can beat anyone. "They haven't been getting a lot of good results but if you look at the squad they have got, it is a squad that showed in the first half of the season they could be fighting for Europe. "The quality is there - you always get, for different reasons, into a bad moment of form but it is quite clear that on their day Sunderland are a very strong side. "They have got huge experience and real talent, they have players who had a massive impact at the World Cup. "That is the level they've got and we are going to have to be at our best at the Stadium of Light." Defender Titus Bramble, who left the DW Stadium last summer, will not be featuring having been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. Wigan, aside from the suspended Maynor Figueroa, will be at full strength with no injuries to report.

Match Report
Henderson fires Sunderland to win Jordan Henderson answered his critics in spectacular style as he fired home a double in a 4-2 defeat of Wigan which eased Sunderland's relegation fears. The 20-year-old England midfielder went into the game with a question mark hanging over him after a disappointing run of form. However, he scored twice in the second half as the Black Cats came from behind to win for the first time in 10 Barclays Premier League games and plunge Wigan back into trouble. Mohamed Diame had given the visitors hope of building upon last week's 3-1 win at Blackpool, which lifted them out of the relegation zone for the first time in three months, when he blasted them in front seven minutes after the break. However, Asamoah Gyan levelled with a close-range header three minutes later and the Black Cats took complete control as they visibly grew in confidence despite losing Phil Bardsley, Danny Welbeck and, within nine minutes of his goal, Gyan through injury. Henderson gave them a 66th-minute lead and after Stephane Sessegnon has scored his first goal for the club from the penalty spot seven minutes later, added a second to ease the home side home in front of a crowd of 39,650. It was just what manager Steve Bruce, who claimed a first win over his former club, needed in the 500th league game of his managerial career, although it came at a cost with Welbeck and Gyan joining Fraizer Campbell on the injured list. Bruce went into the game bemoaning the injury list he believes is the root cause of their recent slump. By the time the 26th minute had elapsed, the casualty count had increased once again. Full-back Bardsley was carried off the field on a stretcher having been given oxygen and taken straight to hospital after an early clash of heads with team-mate Nedum Onuoha. Anton Ferdinand took his place as Bruce was forced to make an early substitution for the third successive home game. But if there was no legislating for Bardsley's misfortune, Welbeck's departure was depressingly predictable with the striker having spent the last week battling a hamstring problem before being declared fit to start. Welbeck has scuffed a second-minute shot straight at keeper Ali Al Habsi and Gyan headed wide from an Ahmed Elmohamady cross. The best chance of the half went Wigan's way when, with 31 minutes gone, Ben Watson robbed Lee Cattermole deep inside the Sunderland half and the ball ran to striker Hugo Rodallega. The Colombian thumped a rising shot towards goal, where keeper Simon Mignolet, who endured a difficult afternoon at Birmingham last weekend, made an important save. Charles N'Zogbia, a long-time target for Bruce, saw a late drive blocked after he cut inside from the right. Diame, who had scored in the corresponding fixture last season, put Wigan ahead. The midfielder accepted N'Zogbia's pass and turned expertly past Michael Turner before smashing a 25-yard drive past Mignolet. The lead last just three minutes as the Black Cats got themselves back into the game. Henderson took a short free-kick but when the ball was eventually fed out to substitute Steed Malbranque on the right, he cut inside before crossing. The Frenchman's ball was perfectly weighted for Gyan to rise and power home a close-range header. But Gyan's joy was shortlived as he left the field on a stretcher within nine minutes having pulled up clutching his hamstring. The resulting reshuffle saw Sessegnon pushed up front, but it was local boy Henderson who fired his side in front for the first time when he controlled substitute Sulley Muntari's cross on his chest before drilling a left-foot half-volley into the top corner. Sessegnon got his big chance with 17 minutes remaining when he was barged to the ground by defender Antolin Alcaraz inside the penalty area and referee Lee Probert pointed to the spot. The Benin international sent Al Habsi the wrong way to wrap up the win, although he was not finished for the afternoon. Four minutes later, it was he who picked out Henderson in space inside the box and the youngster finished with aplomb once again. Substitute Franco di Santo's last-minute strike provided little consolation.

For those of you that prefer leather holsters (oh yeah, you're out there), do you prefer the traditional leather loop attachments to attach to your belt, or the kydex clips, and why?
I'm getting ready to order a leather holster (I've carried a Kydex holster for over a year) and both attachment options seem to have advantages so I thought I'd ask everyone's opinion. Thanks!

This has a very pretty cherry character, with substantial, extremely fine-grained tannins. It is lovely, very red-fruited and trés Pinot in character. It is from vines which are all Pinot Fin (the small-berried variety). The result is wine that can be drunk now but will reward some cellar time. (Keith Wollenberg, K&L Burgundy Buyer)

Optimizing Health Care for Children with Medical Complexity
Download the full report (1 MB PDF). |
October 2013
Children with medical complexity are a growing population. Approximately 3 million of the nation's 76 million children have medical complexity, and children with medical complexity are increasing at a rate of about 5 percent annually, outpacing the growth rate of children as a whole.
Children with medical complexity:
- Have diagnoses that are multiple and varied, from cerebral palsy to cystic fibrosis to congenital heart defects and childhood cancers
- Are under the continuous care of multiple pediatric specialists, often seeing a dozen or more physicians
- Require access to specialized care in pediatric centers of excellence
- Require additional services from within and outside of the health care system
- Travel regionally or even nationally for diagnostic and treatment services
The current health care system has the medical training, knowledge and facilities to care for these children, but the processes around obtaining care and coordinating treatment are inefficient. Much of the time, discontinuity in these processes hurts quality and drives higher costs for everyone involved—patients, caregivers and payers. The variations in how each state supports this unique population also poses a significant barrier in sharing data and quality standards that can improve the care and outcomes for this small but high-cost population.
Medicaid and the Medically Complex
Children with medical complexity are concentrated in Medicaid and generate the highest expenses in the program:
- Approximately two-thirds of all children with medical complexity are covered by Medicaid
- These 2 million children (approximately 6 percent of the total number of children on Medicaid) represent nearly 40 percent of costs
- Medicaid is the largest payer for these children because the medical services they require often far exceed the traditional benefits and coverage levels commercial plans provide
Children's hospitals are the focal point of care for many of these patients, as pediatric specialists are often needed to provide expertise in treating their rare and complex clinical conditions. The expertise concentrated in children's hospitals serves children at local, regional and national levels to meet their complex needs.
Children with medical complexity have the highest needs and can be helped the most. They are also the population children's hospitals know the most about. It's vital to do what is best for these children. Long term, improving systems of care for children with medical complexity on Medicaid, taking care of them in a more efficient and effective way while reducing expenditures, is an important step in improving systems of care for broader populations of children.
Need for a National Solution
Changing the system to provide and improve care, reduce costs and ensure adequate coverage for children with medical complexity who rely on Medicaid requires a national solution.
In addition to other challenges:
- Inconsistency across state Medicaid programs hinders care coordination, communication, provider access and continuity of care
- State-based Medicaid programs do not anticipate or adequately support care across state plans
- Rare diseases require large data sets to improve care, yet there is no national database for Medicaid claims data (like there is with Medicare)
- Current care models and today's fee-for-service payment systems are focused on payment volumes rather than on positive outcomes
Through medical home pilots and other initiatives, children's hospitals have advanced efforts to develop models for providing improved care coordination to these children. Although limited in number and size, small-scale medical home-type programs demonstrate it's possible to improve coordination of care, enhance the quality of life for families, reduce hospital utilization, and ultimately reduce costs.
This evidence suggests that broad-based implementation of similar care coordination programs across the U.S. would improve care quality and reduce the need for inpatient hospital care for this population as a whole, all while providing greater budget certainty and savings.
Proposal to Improve Care
Children's hospitals propose a realignment of optimal care models and Medicaid payment to create a national framework for children with medical complexity and their families supporting care coordination that is financially viable, that states can opt-into, and that will result in better care for these children.
Specifically, the proposal calls for the designation of national networks as the means by which children with medical complexity will receive all of the care they need in the most appropriate settings. These networks will:
- Improve care management, coordination and delivery
- Decrease unnecessary utilization and associated costs
- Improve quality of life for the patients and their families
- Reduce 10-year Medicaid spending by $10 billion – $15 billion
This estimated cost savings for both federal and state Medicaid spending (2014-2023) is produced by decreasing the costs related to hospitalizations and emergency room visits while paying for the coordination of care for children with medical complexity.
The proposal calls for a national database (comparable to Medicare) to capture the care and costs of children with medical complexity. The health care system will benefit from a single resource of information (state-level databases on this relatively small subset of patients are insufficient to drive meaningful, evidence-based results) helping enable network care providers to continuously monitor and improve quality of care, advance best practices and set national standards for the care of these children.
Our research confirms these improved systems of care for children with medical complexity will be far superior for families compared to today's fragmented system. We encourage legislators, children's hospitals and related organizations to take an active interest in improving the care, delivery and cost of care for children with medical complexity. This proposal represents an important step to change care for these children and for all children.

It's time to face facts: Retailers are jumping on the Let's Start Offering Big Sales On Thanksgiving Day bandwagon left and right, so you probably won't be enjoying your dinner very much this year. Target, Toys 'R' Us and Kohl's have all announced they'll be open earlier than ever on Thanksgiving this year, and Walmart probably will too. [More]
You Won't Be Enjoying Thanksgiving Dinner Because Retailers Can't Wait For Black Friday
Why Did My Free Gift Card Cost $10?
Mike is confused. He took advantage of a Babies 'R' Us deal promising a free $10 gift card with the purchase of a certain amount of Pampers brand disposable diapers. In the checkout line, he was confused when the cashier added the gift card and his total purchase went up by $10. That's not how "free" works! [More]
Petition Asks Toys 'R' Us To Ditch Gender-Specific Marketing
A group have parents have started a campaign asking Toys 'R' Us to stop marketing its toys along gender lines, saying the retailer is getting more extreme in its separation between the sexes. Just this month over in the United Kingdom, the company said t would drop gender references in its stores across the pond and market products in a more neutral way. [More]
March Recall Roundup: This Garlic Slicer Prefers Human Fingers
In this month's Recall Roundup for consumer goods, crossbows fire at will, snorkeling masks buckle under pressure, and garlic slicers are out to slice your fingers instead. [More]
When It Comes To Children, 10 Pounds Actually Makes A Big Difference
10 pounds doesn't seem like much of a weight difference, unless you're talking about the difference between a 15-pound infant and a 25-pound toddler. Reader O. had this problem when shopping for a playard (does no one say "play pen" anymore?) with a bassinet and changing table included. The shelf tag for the changing table claimed that it was good for up to 25 pounds: not bad. Except it is kind of bad, because it's not true. [More]
I Want Toys 'R' Us Protection Plan Help, Manager Threatens To Call Cops
It wasn't very long ago at all that Esdras went to Toys 'R' Us and bought a tablet for his son. Barely four months ago, he picked up the KD Interactive Android tablet, along with a protection plan. A protection plan is generally a good idea when you combine a toddler and an electronic device, even if it is one designed especially for kids. Where Esdras got confused, though, was when the cashier gave him incorrect instructions regarding the protection plan. Just bring the item back if he had any problems, he was told. No plan brochure, no details, nothing. [More]
4 Years Later, Toys 'R' Us Won't Remove Dead Kid From Their Birthday Club
The Toys 'R' Us Birthday Club is a cute program for kids 10 and under: they get a card, small gift, and coupon from company mascot Geoffrey the giraffe. The problem comes when the unthinkable happens, and a child's name needs to be taken off the list. That happened to Lyndsey's family, when their middle daughter Kamryn died before her second birthday. The problem was that Toys 'R' Us kept sending birthday cards. For four years. Nothing the family did could make them stop. [More]
Accidentally Sexist Toy Mixup Means My Niece Gets Pink Car Instead Of Awesome Shark Plane
At left is the totally awesome shark plane that J's parents bought for Christmas for his niece. It's an online-only item from Toys 'R' Us. Any child would be lucky to receive such a fun and cool-looking gift, right? The problem is that thanks to an accidentally sexist shipping mixup, they didn't get the plane: they got a pink pedal car instead, a week before Christmas. This kind of thing happens all the time, though, so Toys 'R' Us should be able to handle a vehicle swap with no problem. Right? [More]
Inventory Error Means I Can't Make Toys 'R' Us Price-Match Itself
Sam wanted to take Toys 'R' Us up on its price matching policy. He wanted to perform the daring–and generally not allowed–maneuver of asking a store to match its own online-only price. Here's the catch, though: the item that he wanted should have been available for in-store pickup, so he could order it online and pick it up in the store. The same exact item was sitting in the store inventory. [More]
Toys 'R' Us Popup Store Pushed Rewards Program I Can't Possibly Use
If you spend a lot of money at Toys 'R' Us, the chain's rewards program may appeal to you. You earn rewards vouchers through in-store or online purchases, which you can exchange for even more toys after the holiday season. Why would anyone have a problem with that? Well, because you can only use them in-store. Employees recruited customers for the program in the chain's holiday season pop-up stores, in areas that don't have a year-round Toys R Us store. Now that the pop-up stores are gone, they just have some useless pieces of paper. [More]
Competitors Accuse Walmart Of Providing Inaccurate Price Comparisons In Ads
For several months, Walmart has been running a series of ads touting its Low Price Guarantee and calling out specific competitors for their higher prices. But those retailers are now fighting back with complaints in several states. [More]
My Toys 'R' Us Package Is Simultaneously Shipped And Out Of Stock
Angela ordered a toy from Toys 'R' Us last week. She understood the risk inherent in ordering just a few days before Christmas, but didn't expect the non-shipping wackiness that would ensue. The company issued out a shipping label and had a UPS number ready to go, but the item never left the warehouse. They claimed that the item was "shipped," but UPS never got it. That label was out in the ether, but it turned out that the item was out of stock. It was shipped, but not shipped. [More]
Toys 'R' Us Either Restores Canceled Order Or Screws It Up Again
Some good news out of Toys 'R' Us: after a seeming fit of disorganization, randomly canceled orders, and no information getting out to customers, we're getting reports that maybe–just maybe–things are getting straightened out over at Big Giraffe. [More]
Toys R Us Stalls On Bike Assembly, Sells Us Scuffed-Up One, Shrugs
Matt and his wife are wonderfully generous people who buy great gifts for the families they adopt at Christmas. They bought a bike at Toys R Us for one of the families they adopted. They paid the ten bucks to have it assembled. "We'll call you when it's ready!" the store employees told them, all helpful and stuff. It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and that was the last time anyone at Toys R Us was helpful to Matt or his wife for several weeks. Apparently TRU actually doesn't make calls to customers, and it was Matt or Mrs. Matt's job to return to the store without being called, or the bike would disappear into the ether. [More]
Toys R Us Keeps Canceling Orders, Ignoring Customers
Sure, some hiccups in the ordering and delivery process are to be expected at a toy store during the toy-buying-frenzy that is the holiday season. You'd think, though, that Toys 'R' Us would be aware that their business picks up quite a bit in the winter, and would prepare for this kind of thing. If our mailbox is any indication, not so. They're canceling orders and leaving customers on hold for extended periods. At least they aren't canceling all of these orders a few days before Christmas? [More]
Toys R Us Takes Holiday Toy Orders, Then Ignores Customers
Yesterday, we shared JC's sad story about the Little Tikes pizza oven he ordered from Toys R Us that is stuck in the bowels of the Toys R Us ordering apparatus with no explanation. He ordered that kitchen much earlier than most customers, but he's not alone in wondering where his order went. In Jen's case, she just went ahead and ordered the same item cheaper from another vendor, but couldn't get through to TRU to cancel her original order. [More]
Little Tikes Pizza Play Kitchen Does Not Come With 30-Minute Delivery Guarantee
JC's child is an aspiring pizzeria owner, or maybe just a 3-year-old who appreciates a cool play kitchen. Whatever the case, the Little Tikes pizza kitchen of his kid's dreams went on sale at Toys R Us back in October, and he ordered one to be shipped to the local store. Then it vanished. Well, it didn't vanish, but the kitchen is stuck at "in progress" in the store's delivery system. JC's debit card was charged, but where did the toy go? [More]

Fenway Park
Attendance: 38,477
Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Carlos Santana clubbed a two-run homer and Justin Masterson pitched six effective innings, as the Cleveland Indians beat the Boston Red Sox, 7-3, at Fenway Park.
Santana added an RBI single and Travis Hafner smacked a run-scoring double for Cleveland, which salvaged a split of this four-game series. Masterson (9-7) limited his former team to three runs on five hits with nine strikeouts and one walk.
"It was a random mix of everything," Masterson said of his pitch selection. "There's nothing overly consistent about anything."
The Indians closed to within three games of first-place Detroit in the American League Central.
Erik Bedard tossed five innings in his debut for Boston, allowing three runs on seven hits. The left-hander, who the Red Sox acquired right at Sunday's non-waiver trade deadline, did not walk a batter while fanning five. Bedard posted a 4-7 record with a 3.45 ERA in 16 starts with the Seattle Mariners this season.
"I thought his line was worse than the way he pitched," Boston manager Terry Francona said about Bedard.
The loss drops Boston into a tie with the New York Yankees atop the AL East standings. The Yankees come to Fenway for a three-game set starting Friday.
"That's what makes baseball fun. It's a great division we're in," Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. "It's a lot of good competition."
Franklin Morales (0-1) relieved Bedard to begin the sixth, and Santana followed a leadoff double by Hafner with a tiebreaking drive over the center- field wall. Santana's 16th home run of the year put the visitors up 5-3.
Boston's Andrew Miller gave up RBI doubles to Hafner and Kosuke Fukudome in the seventh and ninth innings.
The Red Sox jumped out to a 2-0 lead during their first trip to the plate. Adrian Gonzalez extended his hitting streak to 14 games with an RBI double off the Green Monster and scored on a two-out single by David Ortiz.
Cleveland quickly tied the game in the second. With two men in scoring position, Matt LaPorta reached on an infield single when Bedard failed to cover first base once Gonzalez fielded the ball. Santana scored on the play, and Fukudome hustled home on a groundout by Austin Kearns. LaPorta was then tagged out at home trying to score on Jason Donald's single to left field.
Santana put the Indians up 3-2 with an RBI single in the third, but Boston pulled even on Josh Reddick's solo blast to right field in the fourth.

Last month I stood in the middle of one of the largest building sites in the world.
I was in Lagos, Nigeria, leading a trade mission for UK Trade and Investment and the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Beneath me was one of five million square metres of land reclaimed from the sea, off the coast of Victoria Island. When the so-called "Great Wall of Lagos" is complete it will protect an area similar in size to the business district of Manhattan. The vision is that this area — Eko Atlantic — will resemble Manhattan in other ways, becoming the financial epicentre of the region.
Over the past ten years the Nigerian economy has been growing fast. The International Monetary Fund predicts growth to be 7 per cent this year alone. And by the end of this decade Nigeria is set to be the 20th largest economy in the world. There are seismic changes happening across the global economy.
We have already seen the phenomenal growth of the BRIC economies. Now come the "Next Eleven", of which Nigeria is a prominent example. The changes present great challenges for the UK economy, but also huge opportunities.
With sluggish growth of just 1.1 per cent since the Government's 2010 spending review, we wonder where demand will come from. As small businesses struggle to get access to finance, large companies sit on piles of cash, lacking the confidence to invest. The global middle class is set to triple to five billion people over the next 20 years. The question is: how does the UK ensure it gets a look in?
First, global success begins at home. Britain won't win a race to the bottom by pitting economy against society. To succeed we must reform our economy so that it rewards long-term value creation over short-term speculation. We must broaden the base of our economy by sector and by region. Central government must be unafraid to devolve power to cities, regions and localities.
Success in the global economy won't come from being quite good at lots of things — there is a premium on being the best. So government at all levels must work with business to support areas of existing strength and to develop others. An ambitious industrial strategy is not just important for export industries, but for improving productivity and job quality. It gives business the confidence to invest and workers the confidence to train. We must invest in our success with a new approach to workplace skills that puts employers in the driving seat, and by releasing the entrepreneurial spirits of all with the desire to set up in business.
We must invest in our success with a proper "British investment bank" to ensure that small businesses can get access to the finance they need, and a new network of banks with a geographical mandate to spark local growth. This way, we compete by winning a race to the top. Second, allow success to attract success. Britain has gained immeasurably from its openness, attracting investment from global businesses. We must continue on this path, based on the positive advantages of locating in Britain. Where government working with business demonstrates real commitment to technologies or industries, inward investment becomes less risky and more attractive. Look at what has happened to our car industry since the formation of the Automotive Council. Look at the signal it sends when our universities are constrained from attracting the best in the world because overseas students are put off by our immigration policy. It damages one of our most successful export industries and weakens our economy.
Finally, succeeding together is easier than succeeding alone. We must reject the false choice between export success in emerging economies and export success in Europe. It is not an "either/or" choice. It must be "both/and". The Prime Minister has worked hard to advance a trade deal between Europe and America. It is an irony for him — and a tragedy for the rest of us — that senior members of his own government talk up the prospect of us leaving the EU, which would mean British businesses would not be able to take advantage.
The focus and ambition of countries such as Nigeria is changing the global economy. A complacent Britain has much to lose. But a Britain that combines our historic virtue of openness with a real commitment to the strategic development of our strengths has everything to gain.

Skaftafell National Park, in south-eastern Iceland, originally covered just 500 square kilometers. Today, the park at Skaftafell covers over three times that much land. The park features glaciers, volcanic fissures, and is therefore a popular destination for those interested in witnessing the power of nature first hand. Visitors will find a wealth of information on the interplay of fire and ice throughout the region at the Skaftafellsstofa Visitor Centre. There are a number of trails for hikers to explore, as well as two working farms that are open to tourists.
Natural features of interest in the Skaftafell National Park include the Svartifoss waterfall, the Vatnajökul glacial cap, arctic foxes, butterflies in the summer months and a wide variety of bird species. There is a variety of breathtaking scenery, thanks to the contrasting landscape and expansion of the park. Visitors are allowed to camp in designated areas for a nominal fee.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Kapyong dealings egregious
The vacant land at Winnipeg's Kapyong Barracks has sat, in the minds of many who pass by the land on Route 90 daily, as a waste of opportunity, of good land, of lucrative property ripe for development in an affluent area. But that is only on the surface.
In reality, the 64.7 hectares vacated when the 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry left for Shilo in 2004 is evidence that successive governments in Ottawa have failed to fulfil their duty to honour the deal made with First Nation people in treaties 140 years ago. A federal judge found last week that Ottawa's disreputable behaviour delayed the development there. Justice Roger T. Hughes overturned the government's transfer of the land to the Canada Lands Company and ordered Ottawa to negotiate with four Manitoba bands.
In 2001, the federal Liberal government announced it was moving 2 PPCLI out of Winnipeg. Almost immediately, Long Plain First Nation notified Ottawa it was interested in the barracks. Long Plain and many other bands had signed agreements with Ottawa years earlier to settle claims for land promised in 1871 under Treaty One but never given. The Brokenhead band joined in the pursuit of Kapyong.
But the federal government did very little to follow up, despite a duty under the agreements and via legal precedence to meaningfully consult with First Nations bands to uphold the honour of the Crown that signed treaties with native peoples. As bad as that was, Justice Hughes found that in 2006 and 2007, Ottawa's conduct was egregious. Five bands joined in the challenge by Long Plain and Brokenhead. The judge ruled last week that Long Plain and three others have an arguable, but not clear, claim to the land. (Brokenhead pulled out; two bands had not signed treaty land entitlement agreements).
There wasn't much by way of documentary evidence to back up the federal government's thinking in its handling of valid and persistent requests for consultations by the bands. The Harper government was not willing to release all documents about its discussions.
This is especially relevant regarding the decision in 2001 to exclude certain surplus Crown land from the priority consideration that was supposed to be given to bands with treaty land outstanding. Shortly after becoming aware in 2001 that Long Plain was interested in Kapyong, Ottawa penned a policy to consider surplus land as either "routine" or "strategic." Strategic land, either valuable or sensitive in nature, would not accord first-dibs consideration to First Nations.
One can only speculate that the Chrétien government had decided that good land should go to the open market for sale. The Harper government failed to right that wrong. In 2007, the government transferred the land to the Crown entity, Canada Lands, for sale, a transaction valued at the time at $8.6 million. The government perfunctorily informed the bands they now would have to deal with Canada Lands, which has no obligation to respect treaty entitlements and priority considerations of bands. There is a hint, however, of the attitudes floating among some involved in the Kapyong affair. A 2004 news article in the Winnipeg Free Press saying Long Plain was abandoning its claim was found in the federal files with the handwritten notation "well done" from one official to another.
The delay caused by a refusal to recognize obligations to First Nations has held up the sale of another 25 hectares where good housing sits and where the government has poured millions of dollars into maintenance.
This decision means Canada Lands no longer has control of the 67.4-hectare property, that talks which should have started in 2004 can finally get underway. The treaty entitlement agreements require a willing buyer-willing seller negotiation. By that measure alone, the federal government has failed not just the First Nations involved, but the honour of the Crown and therefore its duty to the whole country.

In this thesis, we explore how the properties of galaxies depend on environment where they reside. The thesis consists of two parts, with each having its own data-set. Part 1 consists of observations done with a wide-field CCD-camera mounted on a middle-sized telescope. In Groningen, a software system ASTRO-WISE has been developed that will reduce observations the upcoming wide-field camera OmegaCAM. Our observations were used as a testbed for ASTRO-WISE. We looked at a region on the sky with a size of 16 full moons, which contains several galaxy clusters at a distance of about 1 billion lightyears. One type of galaxy, the so-called S0 galaxies, seem to have formed quite fast in the past few billion years in clusters. These type of galaxies probably evolve from spiral galaxies. Our observations give clues about how and where this transformation occurs. We find that the so-called red spirals might be a transition type of galaxy: between normal spirals and S0s. Furthermore, we find morphological differences between several types of galaxies in low and high density regions. Part 2 consists of Hubble Space Telescope dataof six relatively nearby shell galaxies. Shell galaxies are elliptical galaxies which deviations (shells) in their light distribution. We have determined very precisely the colours and shapes of shells as well as the presence of dust in these galaxies. The results imply that shells are the remains of small dwarf galaxies that have merged with the much larger elliptical galaxy. We also looked if the shell galaxies contain recently formed globular clusters. We find that two out of six of our shell galaxies show evidence for young globular clusters.

- #8 Braid in 014 Sky Blue
- 4x6 Treasure Tape Sheets (you'll need two)
- 1/4" Treasure Trim
- Diamond Beadlets
- Scissors, iron, ziplock bag or tray
Use one Treasure Tape sheet as your postcard base. Using that shape as a guide, begin cutting your fabric into top and bottom pieces. Cut a white piece of fabric to cover the entire back of your postcard.
Peel the white liner off the tape. Begin placing your cut fabric pieces on the tape, smoothing them with your fingers to adhere. Then peel off the red liner and attach your backing fabric. When your entire piece of tape is covered, trim any edges or stray threads.
Cut wavy pieces of tape from your second Treasure Tape sheet. Peel back the white liner and arrange them on the front of your postcard. Peel back the red liner one strip at a time and begin embellishing with your Braids and ribbon.
Cover the edges of your design with tape that is slightly narrower than your binding. Peel back the liner a section at a time and finish the edges with sections of binding.
- When finished, place your design in a shallow tray or ziplock bag and pour Diamond Beadlets over the remaining exposed tape. Swirl with your fingers to cover fully and tap to remove excess beadlets.
- Use an iron to press the design for an even stronger bond.

Eric Pickles sparks new row over council meeting blogging
The local government secretary in England has re-ignited a row with Welsh ministers over councils opening up meetings for bloggers to report and film.
Eric Pickles challenged English councils to open up planning committees but also took a swipe at the Welsh government for "rebuffing" the idea.
At least 11 of Wales' 22 councils allow blogging from council meetings already.
A Welsh government source said attacks by Mr Pickles had become tedious.
He accused Mr Pickles of having an "unhealthy obsession" with the issue.
In Wales, at least half of Welsh councils allow blogging by members of the public at meetings, including Carmarthenshire, Cardiff, Conwy and Gwynedd.
In addition, three are happy for people to film proceedings - Anglesey and Monmouthshire, along with Bridgend, which says it is at the discretion of the meeting's chair.
"Start Quote
End Quote Welsh government sourceOnce again, Eric Pickles is abusing taxpayers' money to fund his unhealthy obsession with matters in Wales"
Other local authorities say they are looking to develop a firm policy on the issue or have run trials, such as Blaenau Gwent which allowed social media to be used during a planning meeting into proposals to build the Circuit of Wales race track in the area.
BBC Wales contacted all of Wales' 22 local authorities about what they allowed.
It came after Mr Pickles warned that freedom of speech and independent hyper-local journalism was under attack in local government with residents being threatened with arrest for filming and reporting meetings.
'Obsessive'He said he would be publishing new guidance to allow tweeting from and filming of planning appeals and he laid down a challenge to councils in England to open up planning and other meetings.
But Mr Pickles said the Welsh government had "rebuffed" the suggestion that the same approach should be taken to open up council meetings in Wales as is being pushed in England.
"Welsh ministers have claimed that the interest in openness is an 'unhealthy obsession'. Yet a blogger in Carmarthenshire was arrested and handcuffed by the police for filming a council meeting," he added.
A Welsh government source said: "Once again, Eric Pickles is abusing taxpayers' money to fund his unhealthy obsession with matters in Wales .
"He is misquoting and using misinformation to run cheap political attacks against the Welsh Labour government. He's now become a tedious repeat offender.
"The Welsh government has better things to do with its time and resources than attack Eric Pickles' abysmal performance in England. 'Obsessive Eric' clearly has too much time on his hands."
Earlier this year, Mr Pickles entered the debate on the ongoing row between Carmarthenshire council and blogger Jacqui Thompson who was arrested in 2011 after trying to film a meeting on her mobile phone.
Under the hashtag #daft arrest, he tweeted that the law had been changed in England allowing people to to report, tweet and film council meetings.

Suppose you're able to draft any 3 players in NFL history to start a team with, who do you take any why? Other people are going to be able to spend their 3 picks right after you, so extensive planning and strategy is impossible. I'd pick: - Aaron Rodgers, because QBs are essential and he's one of THE best with no apparent weakness in his game. - Reggie White, not much needs to be said here, he was simply that dominant and could play today with no problem. - Anthony Munoz, he shut down many of the games best defensive ends for a long time. So, I'm trying to pick the guys that are the most irreplacable to start my team. I'm not going to take a back, even though there have been some legendary running backs because I think the decline from a great back to a good one is less than the decline from any of the above mentioned guys to just good ones. Discuss.
Tom Brady - most 4th quarter comeback wins in league history (or best percentage?), one of the best ever. Jonathan Ogden - one of the better modern era tackles. Walter Jones - again, one of the better tackles of the modern day. QB and 2 of the best to protect him, that's a foundation to build a team on for 15 years. Would have gone with Munoz too but you have him and the way I read your OP this is a concurrent thing so can't pick any players picked in previous posts.
Might have been best percentage then on a list I saw the other week He was at the top of the list and it was to do with 4th quarter comebacks.
Did you just say Aaron Rodgers is the best qb ever...? I'd take Jerry Rice, Tom Brady(Joe Cool a close 2nd), and Reggie White.
Tom Brady Reggie White Deion Sanders 4-6 would probably be Anthony Munoz John Hannah Andre Tippett/Lawrence Taylor (depending on the defensive style of the D.C.)
I didnt say Rodgers is the best QB ever but that'd he'd be my first choice to start a team with. As far as a comparison with Brady, Rodgers numbers are definitely better, he also has better arm and much more mobility, Rodgers can roll out and make passes on the move much better than Brady. The more I can make the opposing defense prepare for the better.
OT: All time NFL draft, who do you pick? I'm picking players not already picked Ray Lewis - d coordinator Barry sanders - freak Peyton manning - o coordinator
LT (Best defensive player I've ever seen in my life - The Minister of Defense is a very, very close second) Jerry Rice (Best and most consistent non-QB in the history of the NFL. 'Nuff said) Brady (G.O.A.T.)

Downsizing Help: Think 'Double Duty' for Small Spaces

A few weeks ago a big windstorm blew through the California Wine Country, where Mike and I live. Dear friends who live in a lovely family home a mile away had shingles blown off their roof and their fences toppled (which gave the ever-present deer unfettered access to their most-cherished plants). Their previously gorgeous yard ended up looking like the set of an apocalyptic movie.
In the tiny bungalow Mike and I rent, we sipped glasses of wine and gave heartfelt thanks for the freedom and joy we have found in living small (and as tenants, not homeowners). Our friends, who are still digging out, just wanted to come over and drink with us!
Why do I share this story? Because I want to assure you that all the pain and effort of downsizing is really worth it. One of the many joys you'll discover is that you'll use all of your rooms, for all sorts of purposes. Rooms that sit empty most of the year are a thing of the past. Meet the interesting and versatile double-duty room, furnished with double-duty pieces.

Meet the interesting and versatile double-duty room, furnished with double-duty pieces.
Chances are, your smaller home's living room will include your entry. It will probably also need to act as your TV-watching room, and potentially as a study. No problem — just think double duty!
This small but well-dressed room fulfills multiple purposes so well. The desk against the entry wall stands ready to serve several functions, including becoming a base for a wall-mounted TV, if necessary.
This small but well-dressed room fulfills multiple purposes so well. The desk against the entry wall stands ready to serve several functions, including becoming a base for a wall-mounted TV, if necessary.
Much the same has been accomplished here, with the entry table also ready and willing to serve as a desk or TV stand. The flat-panel TV has been incorporated into a grouping of wall art, making it wonderfully unobtrusive.
By the way, if you haven't graduated to a flat-panel TV yet, downsizing is an excellent reason to do so. Small spaces have major trouble with big CRT sets.
By the way, if you haven't graduated to a flat-panel TV yet, downsizing is an excellent reason to do so. Small spaces have major trouble with big CRT sets.
Another great use of space is illustrated here, where there clearly was a need for more than just a single desk. Again, this room serves three functions: office, TV room and living area.
Smaller homes often have very limited dining space, if any at all. If you stick with the double-duty mind-set, this will be no problem. This intrepid occupant did the same thing Mike and I did: used a long, narrow table that fits against the wall as a multipurpose piece that can also be pulled away from the wall to accommodate diners. Plus, those nifty dining/desk chairs can be turned toward the living area, and just like that there are two more seats for guests.
lf your smaller home has a great room, lucky you! Combining living and dining into one room allows great flexibility in the use of your space and the number of people you can accommodate. That fabulous bench behind the sofa here is a stellar example of a double-duty piece, as it can also serve as dining room seating.
Dining rooms are usually one of the least-used rooms in a house, so if your new space has one, it's the perfect candidate for double-duty use. Dining tables serve very well as large desks, wrapping stations, laundry folding areas, extra counter space and all-purpose work surfaces. In this case the bookcase against the wall holds all kinds of goodies, both necessary and decorative.
If your master bedroom, like mine, also has to serve as your office, consider the double-duty nightstand. This application is particularly clever, with a mesh desk chair that is almost invisible and the matching desk lamps. Love the use of color.
This is a totally different style, but it's just as functional (if you can displace Milo, the cat).
Downsized homes require an inventive mentality, like looking up. Consider how to use the open space high in a room, as in this instance, where the bed was built as a loft, leaving room below for a chair and table. The vertical support for the bed serves as a great-looking ladder, as well as a room divider.
This almost goes without saying, but ottomans, footstools and benches are a downsizer's best friend — especially if they have hidden storage. Coffee table, footrest, hider of all things ugly … every small home needs at least one.
I can't help myself. I have to end with this fabulous room. With an old brick wall like this one, what else do you need? Again, the area has been put to marvelous use as both a bedroom and an office.
In my next entry in this series, we'll talk about the use of scale and color in your new small home.

These are always good ideas for anyone to contemplate. Even with a 3500 sq ft house all of my rooms work double or triple or quadruple purposes and are so much more useful. An example is my great room which is a gathering/dining/music/desk/library room.

Thank you Becky. I recognize several advantages you described in downsizing. I want to share a few of my own. We moved to a flat 22 yrs ago . It is 120 square meters , has two bedrooms from which one is used as library/study and occasional guest room. When we have young overnight guests we get the air matras (spelling?) from storage, older guests are put up in a lovely B&B down the road. We made a choice to use every room every day. It takes 3hrs/week to clean and 15min. each morning to straighten up. When we travel, which we do frequently , I only give the place a thorough clean, empty the fridge/freezer and bring the key to a trusted neighbour, pack the suitcases and off we go. It is a comforting feeling to find a place that suits your life style.

Not a bad ideas, but for me small space not only double duty furniture, but also a minimalist space, nothing extra. Those presented are a bit crowded and cluttered. I can't breathe free looking at them. I lived in 67 sq (about 721 sq f) meter apartment, 4 then 5 of us. Bigger bedroom was for kids when they were young and needed room to play and keep toys. Furniture was: 2 single sofa-beds (extendable to adult size, later). wardrobe, desk, shelf above, a chair and on the wall sport ladder, high in the door opening a bar with removable sport gears as gymnastic rings, rope ladder, rope and swing. As they grew up we switched bedrooms and had our bed, crib for baby, my sewing machine which folded, looked and used as desk, chair, closet/wardrobe. Separate living room 200 sq f contained wall to wall furniture (wardrobe, glass door for china and bar, library), TV on stand, folding sofa bed (for guests or us if needed), folded "book" table 12"x32"(open 32"x72" for parties) and 2 comfy chairs. Separate eat in kitchen. Separate toilet from bathroom. In the entrance/hall narrow furniture for everything you need to leave coming home. It was extremely functional and neat as a pin place. I miss it terrible and dream about moving out from open concept nightmare with non stopping noise, frustration, smell of food everywhere. It's only good to chase my dog if you don't mean to catch him.

@ lasa I am agree, verbal suggestions in the article are way better than illustrations. Somehow downsizing is associated with singles and couples, that why I deliberately pointed on sport complex for my kids, and in living room girls were practicing ballroom dancing, my son was riding his single battery operated Jeep, I was stitching quilts, comforters and bed covers. Not walking around obstacles, that what I call functional. Lights are on ceiling, walls, or attached with bracket to the desk, I have it on my sewing table even now, very convenient. Some items are behind closed cabinets to reduce visual clatter. I found image for our table design that everyday was used as side table.

Good article, my only quibble is with the computer monitor right below the wall mounted TV--awkward and distracting, particularly in an entrance. My entrance wall looks similar, without the computer, but with wall mount TV and art (and an old mantel instead of a console--I've rigged it so I have hidden TV components and wiring under it. You can also wall mount computer monitors (that have removable stands) and that is what I have done in my small guest bedroom /office. I also used a narrow console table for the desk there, with monitor mounted at right height above, on a swing out arm. It can double for a guest to watch video on. There is a small twin sleeper loveseat there. In other words, a re-purposed mantel can be a console, a console can be a desk and a computer monitor can be a TV (if you have a tuner in your computer). I also run a fireplace video or photos or an aquarium video on my TV during parties so I have a fireplace and aquarium too. ;-)

We often design smaller spaces, since we tend to remodel older/historic homes. When space is limited, multi-functional rooms can be a godsend! We transformed this unfinished laundry space into a combination powder room, storage closet, and laundry room. By dividing the room in two, we created much-needed privacy for the powder room, and also hid exposed vents and pipes. Adding a medicine cabinet and sink completed the powder room, while installing a deep closet tripled the rooms' storage capacity. We were able to do all of this without using any additional space, proving that smart design decisions can do wonders for a tiny area.

The Cardinal Rule to follow when living on a boat: If it doesn't have two uses it needs to move off the boat! The Murphy bedroom above is a great use of space. I collect art and in my previous house I had a beautiful art deco painting attached to the bed and it only disappeared when the bed was in use. Also, a folding desk was attached below the painting . . . Most houses waste a ton of space; think boat and use every little space you can get your hands on. I have a 750 sq. ft. house on a 35 degree slope. I've installed stepped storage under each level of the house and plywood flooring in the small attack space for stuff I rarely use. Rope LED lighting is great in these spaces!

After reading negative comments on my space, I feel the need to address them. The TV is connected to all of the electronics, as well as 2 other TVs in the house, through the wall behind it - this was all done during construction for the sake of not having to see cords hanging down from anything. The computer is plugged in and the cords have been discreetly attached to the desk so as not to see them.
This area is used primarily for small kids who don't spend much time at the computer and don't need all of the functionality of an office. They use this space for watching tv mainly.
The doors next to this desk are not the front door - they are sliders that lead to the back yard.
