LAKE, Denyse (née LAJOIE) (1932-2005)
It is with great sadness that her family announces the passing of Denyse LAKE (née LAJOIE) on Sunday, May 8, 2005. Denyse was born in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec on March 27, 1932 to the Honourable Judge Leon LAJOIE and Jeanne René DE COTRET. She grew up surrounded by a loving family that included Germaine, Françoise (Jacques A. GOUIN,) Father Leon, s.j., Jacqueline, Madeleine, bébé René, Renée (Pierre ST- CYR,) Yves (Micheline NOËL.) She is survived by all of her siblings with the exception of Father Leon s.j. and bébé René. She met her loving husband and life partner, David C. LAKE at a badminton club in Trois-Rivieres in 1952. Through their love and dedication to each other they overcame a language barrier and courted long distance while David went to the University of Ottawa. They were married on May 28, 1960. This year was to be their fortyfifth wedding anniversary. Denyse was a dedicated and loving wife and the very best of mothers to her three children, David, Michael and Sophie. She raised her family in Montreal, Quebec until 1977, when the family moved to Calgary. As the family grew Denyse also welcomed and cared deeply for David's wife Carmen and Michael's wife Magni. She was a great Nana and will forever be remembered by her grandchildren, Danielle, Spencer, Siri, and Sonja. Denyse had an exceptionally graceful, generous and positive spirit. She certainly gave of herself unselfishly and was always dedicated to helping her family and Friends. Denyse loved to host gatherings and was an exceptional cook. She will be missed by her Friends, especially around Christmas when she always happily hosted a very special party. While we will miss her dearly, we know the light of Denyse's spirit will shine through all of those who were near to her. She will always be in our thoughts. We are certain she is watching over us and still caring for us.

Judge KANE a giant in two arenas
Hockey and law were his driving passions in life
Former National Hockey League arbitrator had 'common touch'
By Christian COTRONEO, Staff▼ Reporter▼
Joseph Charles KANE's heart belonged on a bench -- and even behind one.
As a Superior Court judge, his decisions from the judicial bench helped mould civil society in Ontario.
As a hockey coach, he shaped the lives of countless youth -- even if he had to be uncivil about it at times.
"The national anthem is finished," he would holler from his team's bench. "It's all right to move now."
The true measure of a man, KANE often said, is in his Friends. In that case, the former hockey coach, athlete and judge who died January 11 at the age of 76 was among the wealthiest men in the world.
Everyone from Maple Leafs coach Pat QUINN to sports magnate Steve STAVRO to Justice Roy McMURTRY attended KANE's funeral at Leaside United Church last Saturday.
"I have never been to a more glorious celebration of a man's life," said hockey analyst Bill WATTERS.
"I think he had more of a profound influence on me than I realized at the time. He always had a smile. He was always so positive."
WATTERS was 19 when he first met KANE.
"I thought, 'Boy, he's the kind of guy I would most like to be like,'" said WATTERS, who at various times was a coach, friend and even neighbour.
The fit, muscular man from Stratford, who "swore but was never mean," had role model written all over him.
KANE was among four freshly minted lawyers who founded a criminal law practice in an old building near Bay St. and Bloor Ave. KANE had the unenviable task of collecting fees from the clients.
"We were no good at charging fees," says former Justice Hugh LOCKE, who was a partner at the time. "So Joe collected the money. We called him the Vacuum Cleaner."
In 1978, after 23 years as a lawyer, KANE was appointed a county court judge in the City of Toronto. By 1997, he was sitting on the Superior Court bench.
"He was a very human judge," LOCKE says. "He knew what troubles people had. He had a very close, common touch."
Ontario Chief Justice McMURTRY, a friend of KANE's for more than 50 years, said KANE excelled when it came to tenant and landlord issues -- cases that could be so complex "a lot of judges sort of avoided them."
"But Joe understood people and he knew how to bring them together."
KANE was the consummate mediator, and his passion for law and hockey intersected when he served as an arbitrator for the National Hockey League.
Between hockey and the courthouse, KANE always found time for home.
"He was very hands-on," said daughter Wendy KANE. " Always involved in his children's lives and interested in their careers."
Along the way, KANE coached his four sons and spearheaded the move to bring a hockey team to York Mills Collegiate Institute in the early 1980s.
By then, the married father of six had long shaken the nickname Vacuum Cleaner -- and had been busy dispensing nicknames of his own. KANE's Friends were called the Fly, Spider and the Brush, names they kept for decades.
At one point, KANE reserved hockey tickets for a friend at the Corel Centre in Ottawa, but that friend found no tickets waiting for him at the arena.
Desperate, he tried using his nickname.
There were four tickets waiting for someone called "Haematoma."
"That's Joe," said WATTERS. "He was a judge. He was a scholar. But if he forgot your name, he would use your nickname."

'Canada's official homosexual' George HISLOP dies at age 78
Always available to gay people in trouble
Founded country's first gay rights organization
By Christian COTRONEO, Staff▲ Reporter▲
George HISLOP's phone number was always in the book.
And he paid a steep price for it.
There were the 3 a.m. phone calls, death threats, even a call from a man who had just murdered a 12-year-old boy.
But even at a time when being gay was illegal, HISLOP wanted his name in the phone book.
"I said to George, 'Why don't you get your number unlisted?'" recalled longtime friend Peter BOCHOVE. "He said, 'Well, what if someone needs to reach me?'"
And I said, 'Who?'"
"He said, 'I never met him yet. It might be somebody who needs to talk.'"
That lifeline ended yesterday at Toronto Grace Hospital, where Hislop succumbed to a long illness at age 78.
A 35-year activist for gay rights, Friends say he never came out of the closet -- because he had never spent any time there.
"George had a wonderful advantage over a lot of gay men," BOCHOVE said. "He grew up in a family environment where he was treated like the person he was. His sexuality was never an issue."
And HISLOP knew what to do with his advantage.
"He had a finely honed sense of injustice and when that was offended in any way shape or form, he had to do something about it."
That quality, however, could also be a trial in a world where homosexuality was illegal. And the threat of a beating loomed ever large.
"He was Canada's official homosexual for many years," recalled friend and lawyer Doug ELLIOT/ELLIOTT. "He really felt that, despite all the hate calls and things like that, he always felt that it was important that he be available to gay people in trouble."
After homosexual acts between consenting adults were finally removed from the Criminal Code in 1969, HISLOP wasted little time in founding the city's first gay rights group -- "which was really the first gay rights organization in the country," ELLIOT/ELLIOTT said.
He founded Gay Day in 1970, which would eventually evolve into the massive celebration known as Pride Week. He helped rally thousands to protest police raids on bathhouses in 1981. HISLOP also helped organize legal help for those convicted.
One night in 1977, Saul BETESH, one of three men convicted of murdering 12-year-old Emmanuel JACQUES, took advantage of HISLOP's open-telephone policy.
"He called George and told George he had killed this boy, and where the body was hidden," BOCHOVE recalled. "So George had to deal with all of that -- and did so. He arranged for him to get a lawyer, he called the police, got him to turn himself in."
The discovery that HISLOP had esophageal cancer came after he learned he had Parkinson's disease, diabetes and an extremely weak heart.
But even during his long illness, HISLOP led a campaign against the federal government for survivor benefits for widowed same-sex partners. His own partner of 28 years, art director Ron SHEARER, died in 1986.
True to character, HISLOP emerged victorious, receiving a cheque in the mail just six weeks ago. But he never managed to take the cruise he had planned.
Indeed, HISLOP's final days were spent in hospital surrounded by a steady stream of Friends and supporters, including one-time political rival and longtime friend New Democratic Party Leader Jack LAYTON.
HISLOP often held court in a bathhouse on Maitland Ave., regaling listeners with tales about the gay community.
But even his legendary fondness for bathhouses came in handy.
In 1988, when BOCHOVE learned the city wasn't renewing leases for bathhouses, he sued the City of Toronto.
"George HISLOP was accepted by the court as an expert witness," BOCHOVE recalled, with a chuckle. "In fact, Judge Harold referred to him in his decision as a habitué of gay bathhouses for the past four and a half decades -- which tickled George. But his very expert testimony won us the case. There's no doubt in my mind. When George sat down to talk, people would listen."
Visitation hours at the Rosar-Morrison Funeral Home (467 Sherbourne St.) are from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. tomorrow and Wednesday. There will be no funeral at HISLOP's request.

COTTON, Dorothy Lucille (née WRIGHT)
Dorothy Lucille COTTON, daughter of the late George Wallace and Lucy Copping WRIGHT, passed away peacefully on June 21st, 2005. Dorothy was born in Toronto in 1915 and spent her early years in Hamilton and many summers on Sparrow Lake. Dorothy's remarkable life was full of the things she most loved: family, Friends, animals, painting and golfing. Her love of golf spanned more than eighty years and her start at golf was impressive. Dorothy became ladies champion many times in Saint Thomas and at Chedoke in Hamilton. Her next success came with the coveted "Hole-in-One." Most recently, she discovered the joys of the links on the computer but was still occasionally found on the greens with her golfing buddies at age 89. Golfing, however, was not her only passion. She also came from a long line of people with a talent for painting and pursued this interest from an early age. Dorothy will be best remembered for her love of her family, children and animals. Throughout her life she provided safe harbour to many birds, fish, pugs and cats and provided an abundance of love and treats to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Dorothy was predeceased by her husband Ray in 1965. In addition to her daughter Lynda BAUGHMAN of London, Dorothy is also survived by her son, Allan COTTON of Kelowna, British Columbia. Dorothy was a much loved grandmother to Vicki MENCE and her husband of Kingston, Michelle BAUGHMAN, Doug (Sally) BAUGHMAN, Randy (Stephanie) BAUGHMAN, all of London, Mark (Michele) BAUGHMAN of Toronto, Lance (Maggie) COTTON of Kelowna, British Columbia and Paul (Dana) COTTON also of Kelowna. Dorothy's presence will be deeply missed by her seven greatgrandchildren. She is also survived by a daughter-in-law, two nieces, a nephew and many wonderful Friends here and in Florida. A celebration of Dorothy's life will take place at Littlewood United Church on Friday, June 24th at 1 p.m. with Reverend Krist iane Charlton officiating. Instead of visitation, a reception will follow at the church after the service. If desired, donations to the Canadian Diabetic Association or The London Humane Society would be gratefully acknowledged, but Dorothy would be happiest if you remember her while out on the golf course, admiring a sunset at the lake, or just when enjoying the good things in life. McFarlane and Roberts Funeral Home, 652-2020 in care of arrangements.

Police treating death of boy as 'suspicious'
By Jered STUFFCO With a report from Oliver MOORE, Saturday, October 29, 2005, Page A22
Screams echoed through a quiet east-end neighbourhood early yesterday after the body of a 12-year-old boy was discovered in the basement of his family home.
An autopsy failed to reveal the cause of death. Although homicide officers were leading the investigation last night, the death is being treated officially as "suspicious."
Family Friends identified the boy as Jaimie CHAVEZ, a Grade 7 pupil at St. Joseph Elementary School.
While neighbours close to the family said Jaimie was found inside a large bin with foam on his mouth, coroner Trevor GILLMORE would not speculate on what killed the boy.
When asked why the death was being treated as suspicious, Dr. GILLMORE said, "Any death of this nature, involving a young person, we will treat it as a suspicious death."
Around 1: 40 a.m. yesterday, police at 55 Division received a call about a missing boy, police spokeswoman Isabelle COTTON said.
Less than two hours later, officers found Jaimie's body in the basement of the Coady Avenue house he lived in with his mother, Karen, and three siblings: Veronica, 14, Vanessa, 16, and Abel, who neighbours said turned 18 yesterday.
"We were wakened by screams and shouts," said Mark HENRY, who lives across the street and saw the boy's family gathering outside his window. "It was terrible. They were out in the street, screaming and crying. It was like nothing else I've ever heard."
Neighbour Louise COLE said she received a frantic phone call from the boy's mother late Thursday. "She says, 'Louise, have you seen Jaimie?' "
Later that night, Ms. COLE told Abel CHAVEZ to check his family's back shed and see whether the boy was hiding inside.
The shed was locked, and when Abel CHAVEZ went to his basement to get a screwdriver so he could crack open the latch on the shed's door, he made the grisly discovery, Ms. COLE said.
That's when Abel spotted the bin.
"He gave it a kick, opened the bin, and there was his brother."
Then, Ms. COLE heard what she described as an "ungodly scream."
"He was a sweet little boy with dark hair," she said, speaking to reporters on her front porch near Queen Street East and Carlaw Avenue yesterday.
Neighbours said the family had been living on the street for about five years.
Ms. COLE said that the boy's father, who drives a souped-up white Cadillac, runs a mechanic's shop on Sinnott Road in Scarborough and does not live with the rest of the family.
Yesterday afternoon, teachers and students from Jaimie's school gathered at St. Joseph's Church to mourn his death at a one-hour ceremony.
Father Frank WAGNER led the service and said, "It was a real shock. We're trying to help the students and staff cope with this loss."

ToB stage 5
by Paul Rowlands | 17/09/09
As Tom said, "it's just the same thing every day. I think definitely tomorrow, or the next day…maybe it'll just end like this."
When I wrote about the music I'd be listening to on the race before the start I mentioned Hot Chip's tune, Over and Over. So far it's proved to be an apt description of the race to date. Every day the possibility that something would happen, some defining moment of the race, but every day the pattern is (on the whole) repeated. More often than not, with a certain Norwegian cyclist on the top step of the podium.
Chatting with the riders after the stage there's a certain sense of inevitability creeping into the pattern of the race, it doesn't mean that there's no point in attacking, it's just that you know that if Columbia feel you're dangerous, you won't be going far up the road. I hope Kristian takes that to be in some way a personal complement, he attacks everyday, so far nothing has stuck.
Thursday sees us into the hardest days of the race. It doesn't look at the moment like anyone will be causing Mr Boassen Hagen too much trouble, but surely a few more riders will be shaken out of contention on GC, perhaps things will loosen up enough for some spectacular racing. But then we've been saying that since the start of the week!
Until the next time… I'm off to buy myself a Monkey with a miniature cymbal.Tweet

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Ed BrockLarry Cox was in his mid-20s when the animated "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" Christmas special first aired in 1964. But Cox, now a 63-year-old truck driver living in Stockbridge, has in his later years become an expert on the famous children's show that will celebrate its 40th anniversary Dec. 17 on CBS at 8 p.m. "I've got a bunch of grandbabies. I watch it all the time," Cox said. That knowledge made him the first winner of the "12 Days of Rudolph" trivia contest Southlake Mall in Morrow is holding in honor of the anniversary. On each day of the contest shoppers will be presented with a different question on a sign at the mall's information center. A drawing is made each day from the entries bearing the correct answer to the question, and the winner gets a large plush Rudolph. On Wednesday, the first day of the contest, Cox was at the mall to buy some Estee Lauder products for his wife when he came across the sign advertising the first question in the contest. The question was what is the name of Rudolph's elf friend, and the answer as all fans of the show know, is Hermey. In the show Rudolph and Hermey flee Christmastown together because they are considered oddballs, Rudolph for his glowing red nose and Hermey because he would rather be a dentist than make toys like the other elves. On their journey they encounter a new friend, Yukon Cornelius, travel to the Island of Misfit Toys and do battle with the Abominable Snowmonster. They return to Christmastown to become heroes when Rudolph is asked to use his beacon-like nose to guide Santa's sleigh on a foggy Christmas Eve. The show features a soundtrack by Johnny Marks and the voice of Burl Ives as Sam the Snowman. "Many of us grew up on this holiday classic," said Southlake's Marketing Manager Andrea Brinkman. "We're definitely going to have fun with the questions and we know our shoppers will too." Brinkman said she expects the winners to be of all ages because so many generations have watched the show. By Friday they were averaging 30 to 50 entries a day, most with the correct answer to the question. Since the questions are posted on the mall's Web site, www.southlakemall.com, Brinkman said she suspects most people research the questions before coming in to fill out the entry form. On Friday 14-year-old Dionna Valdez of Jonesboro was a bit stumped by that day's question, "Who was Rudolph's father?" "I say Donner," Valdez said without much conviction. She was right, however. On Friday Cox came to the mall to pick up his prize, which he will display proudly on his porch for when the grandchildren come to visit. "They're going to love this thing when they see it," Cox said.

Brahmi - The Herb for the Brain
Researchers found that Brahmi can help work against Alzheimer's disease and can help keep one's mental faculties. No known cause of Alzheimer's disease has been noted yet, but researchers have found that inflammation of the brain, build up of beta amyloid deposits, traces of heavy metal properties, and oxidative stress are common among Alzheimer's Disease patients. Brahmi is said to be able to help address all these factors as well as enhance memory and attentiveness.
Known worldwide by its scientific name 'Bacopa Monnieri' in Latin, this semi-aquatic plant, has been labeled as a nervine tonic that enhances mental and learning ability and calms restlessness. The following are the benefits of Brahmi to the brain:
It helps enhance memory and concentration.
It helps improve a person's attentiveness.
It helps promote mental calmness.
It helps tackle anxiety and mental fatigue. It refreshes the mind and soothes without yielding any side effects.
It helps aid headaches caused by stress, anxiety and depression.
It helps nourish the body cells and boost the immune system.
It detoxifies brain tissues and cleanses hallucinogens from the liver and brain
It helps increase concentration
It has a calming effect that helps curb hypertension
Though Brahmi is considered as the main rejuvenating herb for the nerve and brain cells, it is also recognized for its benefits to the skin, hair, and nails. It helps treat all types of skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, abscess, and ulceration by stimulating production of new skin cell, hair, and nails. More so, Brahmi has antioxidant properties and has been tested to reduce oxidation of fats in the blood stream, lowering risks for cardiovascular diseases. It also possesses anti-cancer and anti-stress activities.
The following are the medicinal uses of Brahmi:
It helps treat bronchitis, chronic cough, asthma and hoarseness of the throat.
It helps manage arthritis, rheumatism and backache.
It aids in the regulation of fluid retention.
It cleanses the blood, treats chronic skin conditions, hair loss and constipation.
It helps aid fevers, digestive problems, depression, mental and physical fatigue.

Eilen Jewells sultry, bruised-hipster delivery and heartbreaking, world-weary tunes conjure a Southwestern roadhouse edition of Peggy Lee even as her crackerjack band (highlighted by Jerry Millers fabulous, nonstop guitar clinic) puts the sawdust on the floor, the beer-lights in the windows and The Twilight Zone on the black & white Zenith.

National Weather Service issues high wind watch
December 15, 2012
NEW — 3:30 p.m. Dec. 15, 2012
Meteorologists placed Issaquah and much of Western Washington under a high wind watch Saturday, as a strong low pressure system created the potential for strong gusts from late Sunday afternoon through Monday morning.
The system is expected to develop off the Washington coast Sunday, and the latest computer models from the National Weather Service indicate the low center should move onto the coast early Monday. The system's exact track remains uncertain, but at least a portion of Western Washington is expected to experience high winds.
Forecasters predicted southwest winds rising to 25 to 35 mph, with gusts up to 60 mph.
Meteorologists issue a high wind watch when the potential exists for a damaging wind event. Strong winds can topple trees, down power lines and damage structures.
Issaquah joins effort to increase access to shelter beds for homeless
December 15, 2012
NEW — 6 a.m. Dec. 15, 2012
Just as the mercury started to drop overnight, 135 additional emergency winter shelter beds opened for homeless men and women, thanks in part to funding from Issaquah and other Eastside cities.
Issaquah joined Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Sammamish to increase funding for winter shelter. More funding from the United Way of King County allows East King County organizations to add emergency shelter beds.
Congregations for the Homeless added 15 additional beds each night for homeless men, and Sophia Way plans to add 10 more beds for women and children, and remain open a month longer than originally planned.
"Even as we work to create permanent housing, we are working to increase the emergency shelter options to help people in our community who have no place now to sleep," King County Executive Dow Constantine, Governing Board of the Committee to End Homelessness co-chairman, said in a statement.

NEW — 3:30 p.m. Dec. 14, 2012
Issaquah School District and King County leaders urged action in the hours after a school shooting in Connecticut claimed 27 lives, including 20 children.
Officials sought to reassure parents about campus safety and offer advice about how parents can talk to children about the tragedy.
"On behalf of the Issaquah School District, our hearts go out to community of Newtown, Conn., and especially to the staff, students and families of Sandy Hook Elementary School," Issaquah School District Superintendent Steve Rasmussen said in a message emailed to district parents Friday afternoon. "It's difficult to comprehend the motivation for the horrific attack that took place this morning.
Student dies on Skyline High School campus
December 14, 2012
UPDATED — 3:15 p.m. Dec. 14, 2012
A 16-year-old boy, a Skyline High School student, committed suicide on the school's campus Thursday night.
Sammamish Police Administrative Sgt. Jessica Sullivan said that the agency's dispatchers received a call from the boy at about 9:30 p.m.
The teen told police he was in the lower student parking lot and intended to kill himself. Police arrived six minutes later and found him dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound just outside of his vehicle. Sullivan said he was alone at the time.
Sullivan declined to comment on the method of death, and said the King County Medical Examiner's office would be releasing that information by late Friday.
Report: Illegal tobacco sales to minors increase
December 14, 2012
NEW — 8 a.m. Dec. 14, 2012
The number of Washington retailers illegally selling tobacco to minors is at the highest level in more than a decade, according to a report from the state Department of Health.
State health officials said about 16 percent of retailers offering tobacco illegally sold the substance to minors between January and June. The figure is up from 11 percent last year and 10 percent in 2010.
If the rate of retailers selling tobacco to minors exceeds 20 percent, Washington could lose almost $14 million in federal funding for drug, alcohol and tobacco prevention and treatment.
"This is unacceptable. Our young people should not have access to these deadly tobacco products," state Secretary of Health Mary Selecky said in a statement. "Most adult smokers start as teens, so if we can keep tobacco out of the hands of kids, it's likely they'll never take up this dangerous habit."
Deputies arrest man after high-speed chase near Issaquah
December 13, 2012
NEW — 2:45 p.m. Dec. 13, 2012
Police arrested a burglary suspect Thursday afternoon along state Route 18 near Issaquah after the man led deputies on a high-speed chase.
King County Sheriff's Office deputies pursued the man on eastbound state Route 18 after a police officer identified him as a suspect in a burglary late in the morning. The man then refused to pull over and attempted to flee from police.
Once the suspect reached Tiger Mountain southeast of Issaquah and south of Interstate 90, he abandoned the vehicle and fled into the forest.
Deputies and the sheriff's office helicopter, Guardian One, searched the brush for the man.
Police later located him in the brush, and arrested him.
Issaquah School Board preserves Liberty High School's block schedule
December 12, 2012
NEW — 10:40 p.m. Dec. 12, 2012
A celebratory cry gushed from the audience Wednesday night as the Issaquah School Board voted 4-1 to preserve the eight-period block schedule at Liberty High School.
"The data to support a six-period day has always seemed to me to be weak," board member Chad Magendanz said. "At this point, I think it is premature to make a change without a compelling case driving it."
Since 1995, Liberty has used an eight-period block schedule where students take four 90-minute classes each day. Many in the school's community like that eight periods give students more chances to explore electives. This, supporters of the block schedule say, cultivates creativity, innovation and a commitment to learning.

City Council could delay part of Central Issaquah Plan
December 12, 2012
NEW — 10 a.m. Dec. 12, 2012
City leaders recommended Tuesday to delay the implementation of important development rules in a long-term plan to transform the business district from strip malls and parking lots to a dense urban hub.
In the last public meeting for the proposed Central Issaquah Plan before the document reaches the City Council for consideration, a council committee called for more time to refine and review the design and development standards outlined in the 30-year blueprint for redevelopment.
The design and development standards set rules for buildings, community spaces, landscaping, signage and more.
Overall, Council Land & Shore Committee members forwarded to the full council the four pieces of legislation to enact the Central Issaquah Plan. The full council is scheduled to consider the legislation and listen to public input Dec. 17.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Daring Declaration by a M.D., N.D.
5 people found the following review helpful
Posted by RubiesHealth on Apr 17, 2013
"Informative" is an understatement for this booklet. It contains important nutritional facts that most doctors carelessly forget or choose to ignore in medical practice. The author's account of her experience in medical school, witnessing a hypertensive-convulsing-expectant mother who was saved by IV magnesium alone, is a stark reminder of the power of macro-minerals. She was later told "there were perfectly good drugs to use for everyone else and we didn't have to bother with magnesium!". This booklet remains at the edge of my bookshelf, highlighted and dog-eared by regular references, and it will remain so for a very long time. I have read almost all the booklets available at iHerb and this is one of the best.
Read this! It will save you life.

This is a good one to test if your physician is educated enough to know underpinning to a multitude of conditions, which can be addressed through smart supplementation. Unfortunately most of the general practitioners are brainwashed by pharmaceutical companies pushing blockbuster drugs.

I recommended this booklet for all my friends ! NOW I know how important is magnesium for us. I told all of my uncles, aunts, my mother and other senior people our family are friends with. Some people already solved some health issue simply by using magnesium. Please, take this booklet, read it it and share with people you know!
Good book!

Rosberg avoiding a 'war of words'Comment on this story
Montreal, Canada - Nico Rosberg is bidding to win his title battle with Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton on the track, not off it, he declared on Friday ahead of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix.
The 28-year-old German, who leads Hamilton in the drivers' world championship, said he had deliberately avoided being dragged into a war of words through the media, during last month's Monaco Grand Prix.
"I want to win races, so everything I do is focused on that - winning races," he told reporters at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. "At the same time, I understand that you are writing for the fans who are there, and that is the most important thing...
"And that is why we are racing - so it is a fine line. So, I am here to try to give you some cool stuff, but I want to try to avoid giving things that heat the moment any more unnecessarily.
"I don't want to compare myself to him (Hamilton), I can say in general that I tend to err towards the rational side, but it is sometimes very difficult in this sport - and in the heat of the moment, of course."
Hamilton on Thursday said he and Rosberg had 'moved on' following an acrimonious incident in Monte Carlo where the Briton suggested that Rosberg had deliberately gone off-circuit on his final qualifying run to end his team-mate's hopes of taking pole position from him.
Rosberg was cleared of any wrong-doing following a stewards' inquiry, but Hamilton continued to fume over the incident.
Rosberg admitted this week that he is finding it difficult to manage his relationship with Hamilton who on Thursday declared their long friendship was back on track.
The pair have known each other since being teenage team-mates in karting.
"We've always had periods where it was more difficult," said Rosberg. "As a result, we always discuss things and move on - and that is how it has been this time too.
"It hasn't changed in any way - it is still the same as it used to be, so it's not different, but of course it is more difficult, that is clear."

Airport Security Scanning and Human Health
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is using body-scanning units at a number of U.S. airports. Two types of technology are used in body-scanning machines.
- Millimeter-wave technology does not use x-rays, but rather uses low-level radio waves to scan a person's body. A millimeter-wave body scanner uses two antennas that rotate around a person's body to construct a 3-D image that resembles a fuzzy photo negative. The image is sent to a remote monitor.
- Backscatter technology uses weak x-rays to create a two-sided scanning image that is sent to a monitor. These x-rays do not penetrate much beyond the skin, but they can show objects hidden under clothing. Backscatter technology creates images that look like chalk drawings. This technology exposes a person to about as much radiation as a 2-minute airplane ride at 30,000 feet.
The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) has found that the dose from backscatter scans is about 100,000 times less than what a person receives from natural background radiation in one year. Background radiation is what we receive naturally from the earth and cosmic sources. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) supports the NCRP's position that the health risk from airport full-body scanning is low.
CDC does not conduct research or set standards for any radiation-related activity concerning human screening devices in airports. However, the following safety measures ensure that scanner operators and travelers who are scanned are protected.
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has federal authority to set standards for x ray systems.
- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has federal authority over the purchase and use of radioactive materials.
- The Occupational Health and Safety Administration has federal authority to set exposure limits and requirements to protect workers who handle radioactive materials or use devices that release radiation.
- The Health Physics Society recommends that the use of screening systems should conform to the American National Standards Institute dose-limit requirements for scanners when the practice is used to screen members of the general public.
In addition to these specific requirements or recommendations, state and local requirements may exist that regulate installation, maintenance, operation, registration, and licensing of these systems. State or local public health or environmental agencies will have more information on these requirements.

Drew Barrymore may not be a vegetarian anymore, but that doesn't mean she has given up her love of animals. The actress and her fiancé recently adopted a pup that had been fostered by Twilight star Nikki Reed.
Barrymore and Kopelman went over to the L.A. rescue store Bark N' Bitches where she saw her soon-to-be new companion Biscuit.
The owner of the rescue facility Shannon von Roemer told WENN, "I know they were interested in the little boy puppy all along, but they wanted to come in and get a sense of the dog's personality and make sure it would get along with their other dog."
Von Roemer said about the actress, "That is just who Drew is – she has always been an amazing advocate for shelter dogs and I am just so proud that she chose to adopt a puppy from my store."
Barrymore is one of many celebrities who have chosen to adopt instead of buy. To name a few, George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Robert Downey Jr. have all found themselves enchanted by homeless dogs and cats.
Drew gushed on twitter about the new addition to her family by writing, "The boy puppy named Biscuit got adopted today!!!!"

LG.Philips boasts AMOLED breakthrough
updated 12:35 pm EDT, Thu May 17, 2007
LG.Philips AMOLED screen
The partnership of LG.Philips LCD claims it has made a significant breakthrough in the realm of AMOLED (active matrix OLED) displays. It is said to have produced the first full-color, flexible AMOLED display using amorphous silicon (a-Si), which is important not so much for the material's capabilities, but its manufacturing benefits -- unlike many OLED screens, the new one can be made in existing TFT-LCD plants. This should reduce the current high production costs. LG.Philips' test screen measures four inches, and displays images at QVGA (320x240) resolution with over 16.7 million colors. There are no (known) plans for any commercial use.

text: My post of June 2, which said nothing much, attracted a comment from someone claiming to be Ray LaHood, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, and pointing to his blog. His comment even refers to me by name, so if it's spam it's high-end spam at least. It was posted at 9:46 AM US Eastern Time, an hour when I'd hope LaHood is too busy to be probing dark corners of the blgosophere. I suppose LaHood's staff could be authorised to impersonate him for the purpose of promoting his blog, and even in that case it's a nice gesture. Anyway, thanks to Ray, and Ray's people, for their work in turning the battleship and pointing it in a new direction.

LA UNION >> Southern New Mexico's grapes are faring better than other crops in the state's prolonged drought, but the limited water still affects the plants, vineyard owners and experts say.
Grapes require less water than some of the region's other crops, experts say. Most vineyards use drip systems to water the plants, limiting the need to flood the fields as pecan growers do.
Yet the groundwater used to irrigate the vines is higher in salt than river water, which can affect the plants, experts say.
"It inhibits plant growth," Bernd Maier, New Mexico State University Extension viticulture specialist, said. "... Grapes are faring better in as far as they don't need as much water, but overall, they're just as impacted" by the drought.
So far, 2014 has been the driest year on record, according to state meteorologists. Precipitation in January and February was less than 20 percent of the average, according to the National Weather Service.
At La Viña Winery in La Union, white smatterings of salt can be seen on the dirt surrounding the vines.
Too much salt can kill weak plants and makes it harder for the vines to absorb nutrients, owner Ken Stark said.
Some of his plants died a few years back, when Rio Grande water allocations dropped significantly. The plants showed signs of disease, but it was salt damage, he said.
"It would be nice if we could have more river water," he said. "It would be cheaper. It would be better for all the plants."
The water table has also fallen during the drought, meaning wells must be deeper, Stark said.
His well was built decades ago and is about 200 feet deep. But modern wells stretch nearly 1,000 feet below the surface, he said.
Those wells draw less salty water and are safer during droughts when water levels fall, Stark said, but they can cost $100,000.
"I hope it (the drought) doesn't last so long that 200 feet doesn't work anymore," he said.
Stark's 25-acre vineyard uses about 2 feet of water, significantly less than the 4 feet or more his nine acres of pecans require.
"It's all about what can you grow that takes a little bit of water and that can take the salt," he said. "Grapes are one you put a stick in the ground and it does fine."
Stark and other vineyards use some of their Rio Grande allotment to flood the vineyards once or twice a year, keeping down the salt content.
The drought can also have its upside, keeping fungus and other diseases at bay, Rio Grande Winery owner Gordon Steel said.
"It's much, much more beneficial for grapes than for growing other crops," said Steel, who owns 12.5 acres of grapes along N.M. 28. "You use less water, and you make more money."
But rainwater makes the plants healthier, adding nitrogen to the soil and cleaning leaves, growers said.
At La Esperanza Vineyard and Winery near Silver City, head vinculturist David Gurule called the rain "agua bendita — blessed rain."
"When the blessed rain comes down, it cleans the leaves," he said. "They breathe better."
Rain at the wrong time can be detrimental however.
"Too much rain when the fruit is ready to be picked is a problem," Paolo D'Andrea, co-owner of Luna Rossa Winery in Deming, said. "But September to June, it can rain. ... Rain is welcome nine months of a year."

Devising Place and Social History: A Regional Perspective on Teaching Devised Performance in the Tertiary Sector1
Arrighi, Gillian, Australasian Drama Studies
New performance-making practices are so central to contemporary theatre production globally that a course on devised performance is an obvious critical and practical learning experience to offer students of Theatre, Drama and Performance Studies in the higher education sector. I use the term 'devised performance' here to indicate a new performance work for which there was no pre-existing play text or performance score. Within the limited timeframe of an undergraduate course, however, it is simply not possible to teach the many different categories of devised performance that are prevalent in contemporary Western theatre practice; this is particularly true for courses that maintain a focus on practical exploration and collaborative outcomes. Autobiographical performance, site-specific performance, time-based performance, verbatim drama, documentary theatre and site-responsive performance are just a few of the genre categories currently applied within the eclectic field of contemporary performance-making.2 When one reflects on the fact that there is no singular or overriding process of creative experimentation that can stand in for the wide variety of strategies employed by contemporary devisers, the prospect of teaching a course on devising performance can initially appear problematic.3 The obvious solution is for the tertiary teacher to choose which sorts of performance-making processes and outcomes will suit their specific teaching environment and their available resources. This article discusses the pedagogical strategies currently employed for teaching collaborative performance-making within the School of Drama, Fine Art and Music at the University of Newcastle.4
Histories of devised performance reveal that the workers' theatre movements of me 1920s and 1930s, the counter-cultural and civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s, and the community theatre movement that emerged in the 1970s, all derived thematic and scenic material from a prolonged engagement on the part of practitioners with a discrete set of social, political and/or aesthetic concerns. By the 1990s, Alison Oddey has observed that 'the term "devising" had less radical implications, placing greater emphasis on skill sharing, specific roles, increasing division of responsibilities, and more hierarchical group structures'.5 So while we can say that contemporary devising practice is no longer tied, necessarily, to political activism or driven by the imperative to raise consciousness about this issue or that, it is a truism that devised performance arises from the need or desire, on the part of the practitioner/s, to explore some theme or other and then to share the creative outcomes with an authence. When contemporary performance-makers undertake their research, select and workshop their material, reflect upon their processes, rehearse and eventually perform their new work, they have been pursuing a theme or an enquiry of some kind. These process stages are particularly implicated if the new performance work is generated from documents, testimony, archival research, or all three - as is the case with projects generated within the course under discussion here.
Here then is the next decision for the tertiary teacher leading a course in devising performance: what will the devised works be about? The course upon which this article focuses asks students to engage with the history of the place in which they are studying and living: Newcastle. The city is the second-oldest white settlement in Australia and the region has a rich Indigenous history; local repositories contain readily available source materials concerning both histories of inhabitation. The choice to make local history the broad theme of investigation in turn opens up the opportunity to use creative processes associated specifically with documentary theatre, autobiographical performance and verbatim performance. A reliance on local history source materials also leads, quite logically, to the possibility of creating site-specific performances and die opportunity for students to experience what Nick Kaye has described as the exchanges that occur 'between the work of art and the places in which its meanings are defined'. …

What a way to cap off a week for Florida State Seminole football fans, and Tallahassee in general.
This year's opening night of the National Football League draft was sweet for local fans, as three Seminoles were selected, meaning that we can expect to follow the heroics first witnessed at Doak Campbell Stadium now on Sunday afternoons.
The selection of quarterback EJ Manuel was perhaps the most significant news, as he became the second FSU quarterback selected in the first round in the past three years.
It caps a tremendous year for Mr. Manuel, who's calm, collected yet competitive style of leadership earned him great respect in Tallahassee, even from those die-hard fans who publicly and privately questioned if his accomplishments would ever match the hype that preceded his walk onto the field.
But Mr. Manuel provided great athletic skill and maturity while helping to lead the return of the Seminoles to a powerhouse contender.
Applause also goes out to first-round choices defensive end Bjoern Werner, who was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts, and cornerback Xavier Rhodes, who is headed to Minnesota.
Before it's over, the Seminoles could claim close to a dozen players joining rosters of NFL teams.
But it was Mr. Manuel's comments to another former Seminole great, Deion Sanders, after being selected by Buffalo, that says something about the man and his character.
"I'm just so happy for me and my family and my teammates at Florida State," he said. "With Coach (Jimbo) Fisher being here, I'm just so proud, man."
Even Bills general manager Buddy Nix spoke highly of Mr. Manuel, who went through most of this season also concerned about the health of his mother, who was battling breast cancer.
"This guy has leadership qualities and he is smart," Mr. Nix said.
The draft caps off a week of major news from FSU athletics, from the agreement by presidents of the universities in the Atlantic Coast Conference to make a long-term commitment with the conference to Friday's announcement that legendary former coach Bobby Bowden would be returning to Doak Campbell for two games this fall - his first visit since he was replaced in in 2009.
We join this community in wishing this year's draft choices the best in their NFL careers.
