Does God Play Dice?: The New Mathematics of Chaos
Penguin Books Limited, Jun 26, 1997 - Science - 416 pages
Since the dramatic discovery of the mathematical concept of chaos in 1989, the controversy of its contents has settled down. This revised edition of Does God Play Dice? takes a fresh look at its achievements and potential. With a new preface and three completely new chapters, it includes the latest practical applications of chaos theory, such as developing intelligent heart pacemakers. All this provides a fascinating new answer to Einstien's question which provided the title of this book.

During the days when the housing bubble was inflating to ever more dangerous levels its main source on the housing market was David Lereah, the chief economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the author of the 2006 best-seller, Why the Real Estate Boom Will Not Bust and How You Can Profit From It. Remarkably, its main source now for the housing market is Lereah's replacement at the NAR, Lawrence Yun.
It seems that the Post still doesn't understand that there was a housing bubble. This means that prices fell from bubble-inflated levels and that they are not coming back. This is just like the NASDAQ which peaked at over 5000 in March of 2000. More than 10 year later it stands at less than half this level.
It's the same story with house prices. They peaked at levels that were more than 70 percent above their long-term trend. They still have not fully returned to their trend levels, having about 10 percent more to decline. There is absolutely zero reason to think that nationwide house prices will rise from current levels.
There continues to be an enormous excess supply of housing which can be most directly demonstrated by the fact that the housing vacancy rate remains near the record high set in 2010. There is nothing in the fundamentals of the supply and demand of the housing market that would indicate that we should expect house prices to rise from their long-term trend.
This means that when the Post or anyone else refers to "speeding a housing recovery" in a way that implies higher prices, they are trying to tell you that they know nothing about the housing market.
The NYT has been sponsoring a competition between Thomas Friedman and David Brooks to see who can say more silly things about the economy. Brooks has a couple of good entries in today's column. Brooks told readers that:
"There's strong evidence to suggest that the rate of technological innovation has been slowing down."
Actually there is zero evidence to support this assertion. The standard measure of technological innovation is productivity growth. This was close to 3.0 percent annually from 1947 to 1973. It fell to about 1.5 percent from 1973 to 1995. It then increased to 2.5 percent in the years since 1995. Brooks might have a point if he were writing in the late 70s or early 80s, but he isn't.
He then tells readers the distressing news that:
"nearly all of the job growth over the past 20 years has been in sectors where American workers don't have to compete with workers overseas."
This is true and it implies the exact opposite of the sort of genuflection that we get in the rest of Brooks' piece. Suppose that the United States produces both manufactured goods and professional services (e.g. physicians' services, lawyers' services, etc.). Suppose that we prohibit the importation of professional services but promote the importation of manufactured goods with "free-trade" agreements. We would expect that we lose jobs in manufactured goods, although we might continue to generate jobs in professional services.
Let's take it a step further and imagine that we then jack up the value of the dollar because the tough guys at the Treasury believe in a "strong dollar." This will make U.S. manufactured goods even more expensive relative to their foreign competition, causing manufacturing employment to decline even further.
There are two simple remedies to the plunge in employment in manufacturing. One would be to open the professional services to international competition. This means eliminating the barriers that protect highly paid professions (e.g. doctors, dentists, lawyers) from international competition. This will make the services that they produce (i.e. medical care) much cheaper for the rest of the country, thereby raising real wages.
Increased imports of professional services will also put downward pressure on the value of the dollar, which gets us to the other simple remedy: get the dollar down. The dollar is the main determinant of the relative price of foreign and domestically produced goods. If we want to generate more jobs in sectors that compete internationally then the key is to make our goods relatively less expensive. This is very simple, although the politics of bringing about a lower valued dollar might be somewhat difficult.
So there you have Brooks' entries. He has a tirade about a decline in the rate of innovation that does not exist, and he fails to notice the impact of trade barriers and an over-valued dollar on trade. This is pretty good in the missing the boat category, but he doesn't hold a candle to Thomas Friedman.
I have been saying that it takes roughly 90,000 jobs a month to keep pace with the underlying growth rate of the labor force. This means that more rapid growth should lead to declines in the unemployment rate while less rapid growth would lead to increases.
Many other analysts have used higher numbers. For example, in her NYT blognote, Catherine Rampell suggested that the necessary number for keeping pace with the growth of the labor force is 150,000 jobs a month. People have often asked me to explain the difference.
I can't say where others are getting their higher numbers from, but I know where I get my numbers. The Congressional Budget Office projects that the labor force will grow 0.7 percent annually for the next several years. If we go back to the pre-recession level of payroll employment (140 million), this implies 980,000 jobs a year or 82,500 a month.
There is another way to back out a growth number. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the civilian non-institutionalized population over age 16 increased by 1,781,000 people over the last 12 months. If we assume that 64 percent of this increment to the above age 16 population is employed (roughly the 2000 percent) then this would imply an increase in employment of 1,140,000.
However, this would overstate payroll employment slightly since roughly 6 percent of the workforce is self-employed. If we assume that 6 percent of the increment is also self-employed, this implies that roughly 1,070,000 payroll jobs are needed to keep pace with the growth of the labor force, or just under 90,000 a month.
Anyhow, that is how I get my job growth estimate.
The Post notes the division among the members of the Fed's Open Market Committee over the best course to reduce unemployment and maintain price stability. It then tells readers,
"The Fed will always have its critics, internal as well as external, and that is as it should be in a democracy. It would be more honest, though, if purveyors of economic solutions — whether in Washington, on Wall Street or in the media — displayed a little more humility and a little less certitude."
It is worth noting that these lines were written by people who are employed at relatively well-paying jobs. People who are not employed or working at low-paying jobs with little security and few benefits might feel more need for action.
It is remarkable that the relatively well-paid Post editorial writers failed to notice the specifics of the division in views at the Fed. There are 5 Federal Reserve district bank presidents who are voting members of the open market committee. For practical purposes, these bank presidents are appointed by the banks within the district. These 5 bank presidents voted 3 to 2 against the statement committing the Fed to maintaining a near zero interest rate for the next two years.
By contrast, the 5 governors, all of whom are appointed by the President (3 appointed by President Obama, 1 appointed by President Bush and 1 [Chairman Bernanke] appointed by both) and approved by Congress voted unanimously in favor of this statement. This remarkable gap between the views of people appointed by democratically elected officials and the views of people selected by the financial industry should have jumped out at anyone reviewing the minutes and the vote.
The financial industry tends to be very concerned about inflation, since this erodes the value of its assets. They are less concerned about unemployment, since top executives in the industry can do very well even in a time of high unemployment. Profits for the financial industry hit a record as a share of corporate profits in 2010. On the other hand, Fed governors who are appointed through the political process are likely to be concerned about unemployment, since this jobs are the primary concern for most people.
This break suggests that it is not just confusion that caused the divisions within the Fed, it was fundamental differences in interests. The Post editorial writers should have been able to see this.
The Post reported on a speech that General David Petraeus gave at the ceremony marking his retirement from the military. It noted that he warned against excessive cuts in the military. The piece notes that cuts in the range of $400 billion to $1 trillion over the next decade have been suggested by President Obama and members of Congress.
It would have been helpful to put these numbers in context for readers. The current projections show a baseline where the government will spend just under $8 trillion on the military over the next decade. This is approximately 4 percent of GDP and 17.0 percent of the total budget. (This does not count many military related expenditures like veterans benefits.)
If the larger $1 trillion sum was deducted from projected spending, the country would still be spending roughly 3.5 percent of GDP on the military. By contrast, it was spending just 3.0 percent in 2000. At the time, spending was projected to fall relative to the size of the economy. This means that even with the larger cuts mentioned in the article the country would still be spending far more on the military than was envisioned before the September 11th attacks.
In an article on plans by the Spanish government to pass a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget, the Post told readers that:
"annual deficits spiked during the recession."
This statement implies that the country was already running deficits before the recession. In fact, Spain had budget surpluses in the three years prior to the downturn.
Spain's problems have nothing to do with excessive government spending or budget deficits, they stem from the collapse of a huge housing bubble that the European Central Bank (ECB) was too incompetent to notice and/or take steps to rein in. The same ECB officials responsible for this disaster are now dictating terms to the countries that face deficit problems as a result of the collapse of speculative bubbles across Europe and the rest of the world.
The Post ran an article on efforts to reach a settlement between 50 states suing banks over their mortgage issuance and foreclosure practices. The piece is about dissension among the plaintiffs, most notably New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who is insisting on a stronger settlement that will address a wide range of abuses by the banks.
The piece is told primarily from the standpoint of those pushing for a quick settlement. Without comment it presents the clearly inaccurate assertion from Mr. Madigan in reference to Schneiderman's efforts to pursue a broader range of issues that:
"We don't want to stop them from doing their investigation, and even if we wanted to, we couldn't, ... All states are sovereign."
This is completely untrue. If there is a settlement, to which New York State is a party, that includes a list of abuses that the banks practiced in prior years, then New York State would be prohibited from taking further action on these issues. It is inconceivable that Mr. Madigan does not know this, so he was deliberately misrepresenting issues in his comment to the Post. The Post's reporters and editors should understand this basic fact as well.
[Addendum: Mr. Madigan notified me that his comment to the Post was in the context of saying that New York state could not be forced to be a party to a settlement that it felt was inappropriate. In this sense, it is true that Iowa's attorney general and the other attorney generals could not prevent NY from taking action on its own. He also said that the attorney generals have focused only on issues related to the servicing mortgages and not other potential legal problems stemming from issuance and securitization of mortgages.]
Actually, the Post (a.k.a. Fox on 15th Street) would never be concerned about such things. However, the first paragraph of an article on the appointment of a staff director to the Super Committee told readers the selection of Mark Prater was:
"buoying hopes that the panel would produce a plan to tame borrowing."
The way that borrowing is "tamed" is either by raising taxes or cutting spending. With prospect for tax increases limited given the current make-up of Congress, most of the story here is likely to be spending cuts. This prospect no doubt buoys the hopes of the Post, as it routinely uses both its editorial and news pages to tell us, but the prospect of cuts to programs like Social Security and Medicare are probably not as encouraging to the rest of the population.
This true statement would have been much better than the sentence in an NYT article on whether disaster relief funding should be offset by other budget cuts that told readers:
"But with the federal debt now more than $14 trillion, the dialogue has shifted on Capitol Hill, and Republicans are under pressure to hold firm on spending."
It's not clear that the size of the debt is in any way requiring Republicans to "hold firm" on spending, apart from their own efforts to press the issue. The economic reality is that the debt is posing no problem whatsoever for the government in its efforts to borrow. Long-term interest rates are at the lowest level since the Great Depression.
Furthermore, the economy is in desperate need of additional stimulus. It would have also been reasonable to point out that the Republican efforts to cut other spending at a time when the economy is already suffering from 9.1 percent unemployment.

Help with Pool Design
I am trying to finalize my pool design. I wanted to do a pool bar mostly to be able to sit at and look over lake. However, with the elevation change I am not sure it works. There is a four foot plus wall for the spa that abuts the bar area. It seems like it could be cramped and essentially hidden from view from the outside covered area.
I am trying to take advantage of the fall to the lake and like the look of elevation change for visual interest. I would appreciate any ideas or input to improve the design. Thanks for your input.
A guy I know had a very similar pool built. His bar area was part of a sunken outdoor kitchen and was located over where your planter is. The way you have your bar looks like your back would be towards the lake instead of looking out towards it. Anyway, his pool also had an infinity edge from the bar across the back of the pool with about a 4' drop since he had slope to deal with as well.
I am confused about the sunshelf area.
You are walking up 18" to the sunshelf where I assume you are entering the pool as I see no other steps. So if pool is level you are stepping down 27-30" to the sunshelf.
Or you have magic water that flows up there, or that upper area is a basin and flows down the steps into the pool.
If that is the case you will need more steps to enter and get out of the pool.
Or it is supposed to show -18", then you are climbing over a wall to get in the pool, and its not showing that on the plan.
Something is missing.
Yes, it's supposed to be - 18, thus the step. Thanks for catching that. I plan on sitting more on the outside than inside, thus locating the bar where it is. However, I think it's blocked by the spa and am thinking of moving bar top to fire pit area and maybe making the fire pit in the pool ledge with the bar on one side and the outside seating on the other.

The College of Health and Human Development
Department of Kinesiology at Penn State
Kinesiology professor receives honorable mention for recent book
Jaime Schultz, assistant professor of kinesiology at Penn State, received an honorable mention PROSE Award from the Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division of the Association of American Publishers in the category of U.S. history for her recent book, "Qualifying Times: Points of Change in U.S. Women's Sport."
Schultz's research interests include issues relating to race, gender, and sexuality and in the history of sport and physical culture.
The Department of Kinesiology at Penn State University is committed to providing outstanding instruction and educational opportunities for our students; Our central focus is the study of physical activity as it ranges from basic mechanisms of human movement to the complex dynamics of physical activity in the context of human health and well-being. Our scholarship is pursued from multiple perspectives, i.e., cells to societies, using basic, clinical, social science, and humanities methodologies; and providing outstanding service and outreach to the field of kinesiology and our community.
Hands-on training in kinesiology
Students in the Department of Kinesiology's physical fitness appraisal class learn about basic components of physical fitness, how it can be measured, and how it can be developed. A recent class had juniors and seniors learning about VO2 systems and how they are used to measure maximum oxygen consumption.
Students get hands-on experience by setting up the equipment, calibrating it, using the system, and acting as subjects for the test. They also build their skills by learning how to measure the blood pressure and heart rates of fellow students.
The Department of Kinesiology values diversity in all of its forms. Learning about kinesiology involves developing an appreciation for people from different backgrounds, understanding movement from a wide range of perspectives, and fostering diverse types of thinking. Department faculty expertise reflects considerable breadth and diversity. Faculty teaching and research interests touch on biomechanical, historical, neuromotor, pedagogical, philosophical, physiological, psychological, and sociocultural perspectives of human movement, physical activity, and exercise.
"Most kinesiology faculty actively involve many undergraduates in their research each semester. These students get experience working in laboratories where they assist with data collection, data entry, data analysis, and with conducting a wide variety of laboratory procedures."
--Nancy Williams, professor of kinesiology and physiology and head of the Department of Kinesiology
The Department of Kinesiology is one of eight departments and schools within the College of Health and Human Development, an innovative college focusing on human health and well-being throughout the life span.
Think summer. Think Penn State.
Why should you enroll in summer courses through Penn State's College of Health and Human Development? We're glad you asked.

The 2013 Solar Eclipse will occur on May 9 and 10 where viewers in Australia and the Pacific Islands can witness the Moon lying between the Sun and planet Earth. Though this year's eclipse may be partial, it is still guaranteed to be something spectacular and worth the wait.
Viewers in northern Australia can witness the full solar eclipse while those in southern Australia may experience a partial solar eclipse. From Kowanyama, the full eclipse is expected to reach its peak at about 8:42 a.m. while those in Cairns will be able to watch partial eclipse peak at approximately 8:49 a.m.
In Western Australia, the solar eclipse will begin at sunrise on May 10 and it will cross the Northern Territory. Viewers in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands can still experience the solar eclipse before it moves over into the landless portion of the Pacific Ocean.
According to Astronomy Senior Editor Richard Talcott, this phenomenon is an impressive one with Australian residents being very lucky. "Some inhabitants of Queensland who experienced totality in November will also experience annularity this May. Some of the same regions northwest of Cairns lie within both eclipse tracks," Talcott stated.
Here are some tips on how to best view the 2013 Solar Eclipse:
1. Use an eye protection when viewing the solar eclipse. The Sun will shine bright enough and if viewed directly, it can damage the retinas. Approved eclipse glasses, solar filters, #14 welder's glass are recommended to be used.
2. Head to the solar eclipse viewing site an hour early or more for the necessary preparations. This rare phenomenon is another waiting activity.
3. Observe the surroundings and notice the effects of the solar eclipse.
4. Viewers can photograph or document the annular solar eclipse with the proper tools or camera equipment.

> What to get a doula in training?
I may have posted this a while ago, but as this baby is fast approaching this question is reappearing. We are our doula's second birth and want to get her something, but I am not sure what. I have thought of a bookstore gift card, but wanted to do something more personal maybe. Anyone have any fabulous ideas? MamaTara what do you think?
Is there anything that may make a good addition to her birth kit. Before I got pg I had been working on my certification too and would have loved something new for my birth kit. What is your budget? I would have like a rebozo or even one of the rolling pins that are hollow so I could fill with something cold or hot. A rice bag with covers that can be cleaned. . . or a cool doula shirt/sweatshirt. I like advocacy shirts.
As far a something more personal. . .how about a journal. I have been so moved by each birth that I have attended that I felt the need to journal it.
Tara would say to get a gift certificate to a restaurant. It was her favorite gift.
I say I like the advocacy shirt idea. I got one that said "Doula" on it for my births, so people knew who I was, and I think that would be a great gift for a new doula. You know, I would have appreciated a card that said "We really appreciated you" more than anything, I think.
Originally Posted by

You know me so well
Yes, the restaurant gift certificate was my favorite actual gift. I've received all kinds of things. More valuable to me than the gifts though are the cards I have received. Even the moms that I never did get to do a follow-up with, some sent cards and they all made me cry. The gifts are nice, but, the words are priceless. For actual gifts, I recommend gift certifcates to restaurants and book stores, advocacy items are fantastic (I've received some of those as well). How well do you know your doula? What types of things does she like? If you don't know her really well personally, what kind of vibe does she give off? That will help. If she's really high-strung, maybe some relaxation gifts
And remember, its the though that counts. If she's worth her salt, the best gift you can give her is one you wil have already given her: inviting her to your birth. I say that in every card I write to my moms -- I tel them what an honor it was to attend their birth and thank them for the privelage of being there.
Namaste, Tara

No More Styrofoam Cups At Dunkin Donuts
Dunkin Donuts is replacing its Styrofoam cups in some New England communities with paper cups. But don't expect those paper cups in the Ocean State any time soon.
Get a drink at Dunkin Donuts, hot or cold, and there's a chance that a Styrofoam cup is involved. For the uninitiated, a cold drink served in a plastic cup is often placed inside a Styrofoam cup to prevent sweating. So what's a ubiquitous chain like Dunkin going to do if a community bans Styrofoam?
That's the case in Freeport, Maine, and soon in Brookline, MA where a ban kicks in December 1st. To accommodate those communities, Dunkin Donuts is using double walled paper cups.
The company says it's working on a paper cup for all its stores that will be kind to both its bottom line, and the environment. Dunkin Donuts plans to make that cup available in the next two to three years.
Do you have insight or expertise on this topic? Please email us, we'd like to hear from you. email@example.com

Residents and business owners seeking federal disaster aid stemming from damage caused by Hurricane Sandy have an extra month to apply for assistance.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency extended its filing deadline for assistance to Jan. 28 from the previous deadline of Dec. 31.
Residents and business owners with private insurance are encouraged to apply, FEMA officials said, as benefits may cover costs not picked up by insurance.
Before applying for FEMA aid, applicants must register with the agency by calling 1 (800) 621-FEMA or visiting the disaster assistance website.

|Wikisource has original text related to this article:
Monroe v. Pape, 365 U.S. 167 (1961), was a United States Supreme Court case that considered the application of Federal Civil Rights law to constitutional violations by city employees.
Thirteen police officers of the City of Chicago, Illinois broke into the residence of the Monroe family.[1] The officers roused the parents from their bed and made them stand naked in the living room while other officers ransacked every room of the house, emptying drawers and ripping mattress covers. Mr. Monroe was then taken to the police station and interrogated concerning a two-day-old murder case. He was not allowed to make any telephone calls or to contact a lawyer during his interrogation. He was not charged and was finally released. The police had not acted under authority of a search warrant or an arrest warrant when making the raid.
Plaintiffs Monroe (six African American children and their parents) sued the police officers and the City of Chicago for violating their civil rights under §1983.
The City of Chicago moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground that it could not be held liable under the Civil Rights Acts for acts committed in performance of its governmental functions.
Opinion of the Court[edit]
The Supreme Court dismissed the complaint against the city itself, finding that Congress had not intended the word "person" in section 1983 to apply to municipalities.
This aspect of Monroe was later partially overruled in Monell v. Department of Social Services of the City of New York, 436 U.S. 658 (1978) which held that local governments could face liability in federal court for violating individuals' constitutional rights if the official committed the violation pursuant to a policy or custom of the local government.
Monroe remains good law for the proposition that the "state action" language of section 1983 is satisfied by the actions of any state actor at any level of state government.
However, the Court reversed the lower court's dismissal of the complaint as against the officials. The Court concluded that Congress "meant to give a remedy to parties deprived of constitutional rights, privileges, and immunities by an official's abuse of his position" under section 1983. Furthermore, the federal remedy was available despite Illinois constitutional provisions that provided protections similar to those provided by the Fourteenth Amendment and section 1983.
Legal Consequences[edit]
When Monroe v. Pape was decided the annotations to 42 U.S.C.A. 1981-1988 were contained in about 4 pages. Now those annotations consume approximately 2 volumes of the U.S.C.A..
This decision not only provided for indemnification to injured citizens, but greatly deterred arbitrary actions by bureaucrats. The scope of Monroe v. Pape covers much more than police brutality or racial bias; it has been invoked in cases ranging from improper land use decisions to inappropriate school allocations to wrongful denials of liquor licenses.[2]

5 Myths Liberals Have Created About Themselves (Part 2)
My latest Townhall column is called, 5 Myths Liberals Have Created About Themselves (Part 2). Here's an excerpt from the column.
Greek mythology, with its tales of Zeus, Apollo and Hera doesn't have a thing on the mythology that liberals have created around themselves. There's Bubba, the President who can feel your pain, BO the leader who has the ability to never be blamed for anything and, of course, the wronged woman Fluke who the gods granted free birth control for the rest of her life for not being allowed to speak to a committee…or something. Still, as you're about to see, the real face of liberalism looks a lot more like Medusa than Aphrodite.
1) Liberals are pro-capitalism: Many liberals actually get offended if you call them socialists or worse yet, communists. This is like a wife-beater getting angry when you suggest that he doesn't love his wife. At a minimum, he doesn't love her enough not to smack her in the mouth just as liberals don't love capitalism enough to avoid undermining it at every opportunity. If you want to end inequality, tax the rich into the ground, create a massive government and have a social safety net the size of a small planet, you're not a capitalist. Sure, liberals may love that capitalist lifestyle, but they believe they can have that Soviet "economic equality" too, while forgetting that it always eventually comes with ugly concrete apartments and breadlines.
Once again, you can read it all here.

Why Wildfire Mitigation Would Pay Off Later
By Kirk Siegler
Originally published on Thu June 21, 2012 6:21 am
Crews in Colorado are struggling to get the upper hand on the massive High Park wildfire that's destroyed more homes and property than any blaze in the state's history. With Colorado and the rest of the drought-plagued Southwest coming off a winter with record low snowpack, officials are braced for more fires. But previous forest management techniques could be partly to blame for the severe fires.

100 still to testify at Phoenix inquiry
Probe into tot's life resumes
THE life and death of a five-year-old in care goes back under the microscope today as the oft-delayed Phoenix Sinclair inquiry resumes.
Thirty witnesses have testified during 25 days since the public hearings began in September. With about 100 more witnesses to go, the hearings are expected to run until May.
The inquiry, with its dramatic proceedings, is exposing problems with a society and a system in which a little girl was forgotten, then slain.
Phoenix was killed in 2005, three months after her child-welfare file was closed. Her body was buried in a dump at Fisher River First Nation for nine months before authorities realized she was missing. Her mother and stepfather were convicted of first-degree murder in her death in 2008.
In March 2011, the province ordered a public inquiry into the child welfare services provided or not provided, into her and her family, any other circumstances directly related to Phoenix's death and into why it went undiscovered for several months.
The process was delayed by pre-hearing motions on publication bans. The Manitoba Government and General Employees Union, for example, fought to shield the identity of social workers and lost.
When the public hearings finally got underway in September, they halted on the third day because of another court challenge. Several child welfare authorities fought the decision by inquiry commissioner Ted Hughes to give them only summaries of the commission's pre-inquiry interviews with the 140 or so witnesses slated to testify. They asked the Manitoba Court of Appeal to grant them the full transcripts, which could have delayed the inquiry for weeks or months. The court ruled the full witness interview transcripts did not have to be disclosed.
When the inquiry resumed Nov. 14, Hughes said it was on track to be the most expensive public inquiry in Manitoba history.
Before the inquiry even began, Darlene MacDonald, Manitoba's children's advocate, said in June she was concerned about the "huge" amount of money being spent on it. MacDonald said the $4.7 million spent on the inquiry for that fiscal year alone might be better spent improving services.
Some of her employees at the children's advocate branch who used to work for Child and Family Services when Phoenix was in their care have testified about their role at that time.
One of them, advocacy officer Doug Ingram, was a CFS supervisor in 2004 when the file on Phoenix was closed. He said he didn't recall taking any notes when he met with the worker he supervised on the case. If he did, Ingram said they would have been shredded. Other CFS supervisors have testified they took case notes and kept them in a binder in their office. None of those supervisors' notes has been found.
Missing notes and a lack of public trust in CFS have been recurring themes at the inquiry.
Phoenix's father, Steve Sinclair, was raised in care and testified he didn't want Phoenix to be placed in care and tried to keep the agency at a distance. The couple who cared the most for Phoenix and applied to become her foster parents said they, too, didn't want CFS coming around. Kim Edwards and Rohan Stephenson testified they were afraid Phoenix would end up in the system with strangers.
Had those who loved Phoenix seen the disturbing file on her mother, Samantha Kematch, or known she was "a psychopath," they wouldn't have let the child go with her in April 2004, Edwards testified earlier.
The inquiry has proceeded in chronological order. When it recessed on Dec. 19, it was up to the time Phoenix was four years old and her mother had registered her for nursery school in Winnipeg's inner city. Phoenix never showed up.
When the inquiry resumes today, Shelley Willox is expected to testify for the first time. She worked in the CFS crisis-response unit in 2004.
