Press Release
Horseshoe Beach, FL – December 18, 2012 – Captain Sammy Royal, owner of Sea Tow Horseshoe Beach (Florida), was honored with a Coast Guard Certificate of Merit at the Sea Tow Awards Banquet on November 14, 2012. The event capped the 2012 Sea Tow Annual Meeting held in Orlando, Fla., in November.
Captain Richard M. Kenin, Chief of Staff, Seventh Coast Guard District (Fla.); Captain Peter F. Martin, Chief of Search and Rescue (CG-SAR) for the U.S. Coast Guard, and Sea Tow Vice President of Operations Robert Backhaus presented the Certificate of Merit to Capt. Royal during the awards ceremony.
The Certificate reads: "The Commandant of the United States Coast Guard takes great pleasure in presenting the Coast Guard Certificate of Merit to Capt. Sammy Royal, in recognition for service to the maritime community and the United States Coast Guard. On July 17, 2012, Capt. Royal of Sea Tow Horseshoe Beach responded to an emergency distress broadcast from the 24-foot fishing vessel, MUGLY OTHER, which was sinking 11 nautical miles west of Steinhatchee, Florida, with four people on board. Although Coast Guard units rapidly deployed, the vessel's location required a lengthy transit time.
"With severe thunderstorms in the area, visibility of a half nautical mile and the possibility of people in the water, the situation was dire. Captain Royal quickly responded to the distress call. While outbound, he queried the operator of a nearby vessel for information concerning the vessel in distress. The operator provided…a last known position. While en route to the position, Captain Royal located the vessel's passengers clinging to coolers, struggling to stay afloat. He expertly recovered all victims from the water. Captain Royal then located the capsized vessel, righted it, and towed it to shore. His actions saved the lives of four people and reflected the time-honored tradition of mariners aiding others in distress. Captain Royal's performance of duty is most heartily commended and is in keeping with the highest traditions of public service."
"We at Sea Tow also applaud Capt. Sammy Royal for his quick thinking, exemplary actions and expert boat handling skills. He saved four lives and brings great credit to Sea Tow and the marine assistance industry," said Sea Tow Founder & CEO Capt. Joe Frohnhoefer. "This is another example of Sea Tow's ongoing partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard."

Portland, Ore. (AP) He had warm words for Hillary Rodham Clinton, but Bill Richardson has enthusiastically thrown his support behind Barack Obama.
At a campaign event in Portland, Oregon, the nation's only hispanic governor endorsed Obama for president, calling it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" for the nation to elect a "once-in-a-lifetime leader."
A presidential candidate himself just a few months ago, Richardson also served as U.N. Ambassador and energy secretary under President Bill Clinton. But he said while his affection for the Clintons would never waver, it's time for a "new generation of leadership."
Delivering some of his words in Spanish, Richardson said the party has a choice between two great leaders, but that it's time for Democrats to stop fighting among themselves.
He urged the crowd to get behind Obama's candidacy and prepare for what he called "a tough fight" against John McCain.

SACRED TEXTS FOR BUSINESS ETHICSBy Kirk O. Hanson, Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, Santa Clara University
Center Executive Director Kirk O. Hanson spoke to a colloquium convened by Santa Clara University's Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education on April 18, 2013. He was asked to identify and speak on the five "sacred texts" of business ethics, documents which capture the highest ideals and values to be pursued by business ethics. He selected the following five documents. Links are provided.

"The idea is to stay consistent during the entire series even as referees switch each game," Gregson said. "We want coaches and players know what to expect from period to period."
Gregson met with all postseason officials by mega-conference call on Monday this week. While there was serious business to discuss, some congratulations were in order as well. The 20 referees were selected from a pool of 33, making the cut based on at least 25 in-person evaluations during the regular season and dozens more on videotape. Same deal for linesmen, who are picked from a pool of 34. The selected officials found out their fates by a Monday morning email.
After picking the 20 referees, Gregson's next move is to select pairings for the first five games of each of the eight playoffs series.
"I put guys together [each game has two refs, of course] based on personality, style, energy level and experience," Gregson said. "I have the pairings ready Sunday morning, then wait to assign them once we get match-ups."
That's when the travel logistics get, well, let's say interesting, as Gregson and his staff try to make sure officials can make it from city to city, since no referee pairing will work the same series two games in a row.
After his call with the postseason officials, Gregson hooked up later in the day with general managers and coaches from all 16 NHL clubs in a mandatory call. One important matter on the agenda: The NHL will be cracking down on any incidents during warm-ups, especially contact between opponents that a player might consider "gamemanship" but the League regards as off-limits. GMs and coaches were made "strongly aware" that violating this policy will result in a player being removed from the lineup for that game.
"The standby referee for each game will monitor warm-ups from the ice level and our series manager will watch from the video booth," Gregson said. "They will talk after the warm-ups about any contact or other actions with an inciting aspect."
Gregson has assigned "series managers" to each playoff matchup: Kevin Collins for Montreal-Washington, Don Koharski with Philadelphia-New Jersey, E.J. McGuire following Boston-Buffalo, Bob Hall on Ottawa-Pittsburgh, Kay Whitmore for Colorado-San Jose, Mick McGeough with Nashville-Chicago, Kris King following Los Angeles-Vancouver and Rob Shick on Detroit-Phoenix.
"I have a team of 40 officials, but they don't all gather in one locker room," said Gregson. "So I have eight coaches working with each group of four at the games."
Here's some of what those refs and linesmen will be hearing as six more teams open series Thursday and Game 1 of the Predators-Blackhawks series tops five games scheduled for Friday.
- "Great officials understand the difference between emotion and abuse." Gregson acknowledged that everything gets elevated during the playoffs, including adrenaline and player stress -- especially when favored home teams are upset in Game 1. "Calling the game is more than just raising your arm," Gregson said. "You can control a situation with good communication too."
- "Get your homework done early." The opening minutes of a game and series (remember the 21-plus-periods) can help put out the message to coaches and players alike about how the series will be officiated. "It might mean calling a penalty early. It depends. If a game has a good flow, that's one thing. If it's chippy early, you want to grab control right away."
- "Nothing changes from the season." Gregson explained that he still wants, say, linesmen to have high awareness around the net because referees have other responsibilities. "And we will still be calling the hook, hold, trip and interference as we did all year during the regular season."
- "Don't succumb to pressure from players on faceoffs." Each faceoff should look and feel the same to players, no matter who is dropping the puck. "We want integrity in the mechanics every faceoff," said Gregson. "Each linesman needs to give clear, concise instructions."
"We keep telling guys look for the 'good hockey goal,' " Gregson said. "The goaltender needs be able to move freely in the blue paint. But it's never black-and-white, never perfect."
Which leads Gregson to one of his favorite and most vital points as pucks drop throughout the NHL: "The only people who judge the game's goals and play in real-time are the on-ice officials. Everyone else is looking at the videotape as soon as play stops."

Sell BEML , says Phani Sekhar of Angel Broking.
Sekhar told CNBC-TV18, "Bharat Earth Movers (BEML) is a complete sell because it has basically three revenue streams mining, defense and railways. We all know the problems associated with mining. Over the last three months you have actually seen that the budget for defense has been cut and anyway BEML is going through its own share of controversy in defense through the Tatra truck scam."
He further added, "The only segment that is left is railways on which investors are building hope but again it is in a segment of metro coach manufacturing in which margins are traditionally very low."

›You are hereHome›Family Adventures
Family Adventures
Your sense of adventure doesn't disappear just because you have kids, so why should your family holiday destinations be limited to the 'usual suspects'?
On an Intrepid Family Adventure you and your kids will encounter plenty of real life experiences along the way – anything from riding a tuk-tuk in Bangkok, playing football with the Maasai in Kenya or sailing down the Nile in a felucca. Whatever it is, learning and exploring in the real world opens eyes and minds in a way the virtual world never can.
Why take your kids on an Intrepid Family Adventure?
Just for families
As the name suggests, these trips are designed just for families – including grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins! No adult can travel without a child and on most trips, kids are between 5-17 years of age. Check the detailed Trip Notes for each tour on our website to find the specific minimum ages.
If you'd like some help finding the right trip for your kids, contact us.
Travelling with families
Travelling the Intrepid way is a bit like travelling with a group of friends - you just haven't met them yet! Made up of 2-3 like-minded families, the kids tend to hit it off straight away, allowing adults to enjoy the group atmosphere and socialise in a relaxed environment. We often find that the whole family end up making lasting friendships with people from all over the world, staying in touch long after the adventure ends.
Group sizes
Intrepid's family group sizes are small enough that we aren't intimidating - we can avoid the crowds and travel to places that large tour groups can't access, but big enough so that there are a couple of other families to make it a good sociable number. Our robust group size lets us hop aboard local boats, buses or trains, we can eat at friendly, family-run restaurants, and we can stay in traditional accommodation and homestays.
Why Intrepid
Our small group style of travel means you'll stay under the radar, travel the local way, eat the local way and sleep the local way.
Small groups, big adventures.

Some city leaders in Slocomb are trying their best to keep the cities National Guard unit at its current location.
In June of last year the city council received notice from the National Guard that the guard station that was planned to close in 2011 will have to shut down in September of 2008.
Next week, the mayor and city officials will meet with adjutant General Blalock in Montgomery to discuss the issue.
Mayor Vickie Moore says she supports any decision the National Guard makes in order for them to receive the best training available.

|ZP123 increases gap junctional conductance and prevents reentrant ventricular tachycardia during myocardial ischemia in open chest dogs.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12776869 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine if the stable antiarrhythmic peptide (AAP) analogue ZP123 increases gap junctional intercellular conductance and prevents reentrant ventricular tachycardia (VT) during coronary artery occlusion. METHODS AND RESULTS: Voltage clamp experiments demonstrated that 10 nM ZP123 improved gap junctional intercellular conductance by 69% +/- 20% in pairs of guinea pig ventricular myocytes. VT was induced by programmed stimulation in alpha-chloralose anaesthetized open chest dogs 1 to 4 hours after coronary artery occlusion. Three-dimensional activation mapping was done using six bipolar electrograms on each of 23 multipolar needles in the risk zone. When VT was reproducibly induced, dogs were randomly assigned to receive either saline or ZP123 cumulatively at three dose levels (intravenous bolus followed by 30-min infusion per dose). Attempts to induce VT were repeated in each infusion period. Mass spectrometry was used to measure ZP123 plasma concentrations. Twenty-six dogs with reentrant VT were included. ZP123 significantly prevented reentrant VT at all plasma concentrations vs saline: 1.0 +/- 0.2 nM: 6/12 vs 0/12; 7.7 +/- 0.6 nM: 7/13 vs 1/12; and 69.2 +/- 5.4 nM: 9/13 vs 1/13. The preventive effect of ZP123 on reentrant VT was closely correlated to reversal of functional, unidirectional conduction block. ZP123 did not affect effective refractory period, surface ECG parameters, mean arterial pressure, or infarct size. CONCLUSION: The stable AAP analogue ZP123 increased gap junctional intercellular conductance and specifically prevented the induction of reentrant VT during ischemia in a broad dose range without proarrhythmic or hemodynamic side effects. ZP123 is a promising candidate for use in preventing ischemia-induced VT.

You can choose which content you display on the homepage including testimonials, sales promotions and has a CTA (call to action) to take visitors to your portfolio or even a special promotion. With special consideration this theme could make for a very nice looking photography site.
A Few Tips on Choosing A Theme
I know how difficult it can be to choose the right WordPress theme. As a builder of websites it's important for me to keep track of new themes coming out so I'm always have my eye on the pulse of the theme industry.
Here's a few tips if you're just starting out, or looking for a new theme for your site.
If you're purchasing themes from ThemeForest it's important to investigate the theme author a bit to make sure you're buying a theme from someone who will keep it up to date. It's super frustrating buying a theme and receiving zero updates or support. Remember ThemeForest does not require it's authors to offer support. Although most theme authors support their themes, some I've noticed are really lacking in the support department. I've seen authors disappear completely and at that point you're just out of luck.
I've purchased themes on themeforest to only find they've been removed with no notice and you're basically stuck at that point because Themeforest does not offer refunds.
Tips for purchasing themes from Themeforest (TF)
I look at several things when I'm trying to determine if authors are legitimate or not on Themeforest… They are:
- How long has the author been on Themeforest.
- How many comments does the theme have and is the author answering customers questions or not in a timely manner.
- How many sales does the theme have compared to comments.
- I look at the demo in my browser and view it without css enabled so I can view the H tags and how the structure of the site is compiled.
- I look at how well written the description is. If a lot of work has been put into the description and the English is well written then I can defer that they've put the same effort into their theme.
- I often look at what country the author is from to see if they are abroad or in the US.
- I look at the overall sales of the author to see if their products are popular or not.
Just to note, there are some benefits to purchasing a theme from TF such as you never need to pay for updates. Theme updates are offered for free depending on if the author chooses to update the theme or not. Even if it's two years later you can download and install the newly updated theme without further cost. Also, because TF is a marketplace there is a huge pool of active designers on it giving you a wider range of choices. Another great thing is that you can see how many purchases a theme has had… so you kinda get an idea of how many other people are using the theme allowing you to jump on something new which maybe not a lot of other people are using.
Some info on purchasing a membership to ElegantThemes (ET)
I've been a member of ElegantThemes since 2006 I believe… a long time. Nick Roach is the owner of ET and has been producing new themes on a regular basis since its inception.
It started out as a $19.95 yearly membership in the beginning and since has moved up to $69/year plan but the amount of themes has increased making the higher price worth it. You can now access 87 themes where I think when they debuted it was around 20 or so. The value for the money is unprecedented in the WordPress theme industry. The price has always been attractive for what you receive.
ET also offers a 30 day guarantee whereas TF does not. So if you're unhappy with your ET theme membership you can get your money back if you're not totally satisfied.
With an ET membership you can literally download any theme you want from them so you're not stuck to paying $40 for one theme like you are on TF. That means if you download one theme and are not happy with the results you can go download another and see if that is to your liking without having to fork out more cash. It's by far a better deal.
ET also offers a developer license (which I have) that allows you to use their themes for client sites and pretty much on unlimited sites overall… so if you, by chance have more than one website you can use multiple ET themes across your sites.
Final Thoughts
One of the best things about using a CMS like WordPress for your site is that you can easily change your theme any time you want without much hassle. Over the years you'll find that you get tired of your design and want to update it to something you're more fond of and WordPress makes that easy to do. Keeping your site fresh, even if it's just a theme change can tell the search engines that someone's home (if your site hasn't had many updates otherwise)… calling back those spiders to re-index your site. So it can be good for SEO too.
At any rate, I do hope you found this post useful. It sure took a long time to create. If you did, please comment, subscribe, like… all that good stuff. Thanks for reading and take care!

In the developing world, sickness and disease continue to have a devastating impact on the poor, preventing economic development. 56% of Kenyans live on less than $1 a day and over 30% do not seek care when they are sick citing financial difficulties and lack of access as primary reasons. Access Afya will provide Kenyan consumers at the base of the pyramid with low cost, high quality, basic but critical health care services via high-tech mini clinics.
Our vision is to create a sustainable, scalable model for delivering critical health care services to underserved populations and to expand throughout Kenya and beyond.
Access Afya will be a chain of high-tech mini-clinics that bring care directly to the doorstep of the people who need it the most. We opened our pilot site in the slums in southeast Nairobi December 2012, which offers services, diagnostic tests, and medication. The average cost of consultation, testing, and treatment is around $4.00. The clinic is paperless, managing patient records, stock, SMS communication, and clinical protocols through electronic systems. A mini-clinic takes just four weeks and $5,000 to construct, furnish, and stock.
Access Afya is redefining each element of the health delivery chain with rigorous attention to cost, quality, and scalability. We start with the physical space: The average plot size in the slums is 12 x 15 feet, meaning a full outpatient
center needs to fit in this. Next, we recruit and train compassionate staff, build partnerships with government, and create referral networks for complicated conditions. We also innovate on health financing, and are offering "packages" of care and clinic memberships
to incentivize care and better match patient cash flows.
Technology is the backbone of this model, streamlining reporting, diagnoses and treatments, payments, staff learning, and patient follow-ups.
In Kenya 9 out of 100 children will not live to see their fifth birthday. Wealth is a major determinate of health; the poor are less likely to access preventative and life-saving treatments, to use family planning, and to know their HIV status.
As co-founder of Access Afya, I moved to Nairobi alone in June 2012, leaving job offers and a comfortable life in New York. Since then I have put all of the necessary processes in place to build Access Afya, from building a Kenyan team, finding a site, building, stocking, and licensing a clinic, and spending a lot of time talking to potential customers. I am devoted to making this work, and have found a team that feels the same way.
Our early impacts are huge: we have over 200 patients, and they are thanking us for healing their children, teaching them to use the family planning pills they had been buying for years, and responding to severe asthma attacks. We need help growing our pilot, and learning more about which education and marketing strategies are the most effective in finding and maintaining patients.

Federal Government barking up the wrong tree by trying to cut back United Nations protection, Senate hearing told
- From: Mercury
- April 01, 2014
DELISTING World Heritage Areas will reignite controversy over Tasmanian timber products, a Senate Inquiry in Hobart has heard.
Several witnesses at the public hearing yesterday slammed the Federal Government for "misleading" the United Nations in its bid to repeal a boundary extension approved last year.
Exchanges between committee members and witnesses were at times heated.
As environmentalists decried the proposal, timber groups lamented a downturn in the industry as a result of the forest lock-up.
UTAS academic Tom Baxter said a WHA roll-back would turn markets off Tasmanian timber. "Nothing is more sure to reignite Tasmanian forestry controversy," the corporate governance expert said.
The Senate inquiry was established by the Greens after Prime Minister Tony Abbott asked the World Heritage Committee to reverse a boundary extension to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area that would remove protection from 74,000ha.
The tract is part of 170,000ha added to WHA after it was nominated as part of the Tasmanian Forestry Agreement. To justify the move, the Government has argued the areas have been degraded by past logging and are not "pristine" environments.
But Wilderness Society consultant Geoff Law told the inquiry that up to 90 pet cent of the areas proposed for excision were "intact" and had never been logged.
"Certainly it appears the Government is seeking to delist World Heritage forest for the sake of logging," Mr Law said.
He said the Government was putting its commitment to the logging industry ahead of its responsibility to uphold heritage values.
Wilderness Society campaign manager Vica Bayley said the Government should withdraw its submission to UNESCO to avoid causing "pain and embarrassment" to Australia.
When pressed by Liberal Senator Anne Ruston, Mr Bayley would not rule out future calls for further increases to the WHA .
Environmental Defenders Office Tasmania lawyer Adam Beeson said the reversal was unlikely to be approved by the World Heritage Committee.
He suggested it was a bid by the Federal Government to be seen to support forest industries.
Mr Beeson said areas in the WHA were not required to be "completely pristine".
"It's a furphy to say it has to be pristine and untouched to be included," he said.
This sentiment was echoed by Tasmanian National Parks Association secretary Nick Sawyer, who said the repeal bid was "severely flawed".
He said world heritage boundaries had a history of being set based on political decisions rather than sound ecological considerations.
TNPA vice-president Anne McConnell said a number of outstanding heritage values would be lost or put at risk if the boundary decision was reversed.
She said the Tasmanian community placed great value on heritage-listed areas.
Senator Christine Milne pushed representatives of the Tasmanian Special Timbers Alliance to explain why they supported the delisting. She suggested they did not contest the World Heritage Committee's findings that the areas were of outstanding universal value and simply wanted them opened for logging.
But Alliance spokesman Pavel Ruzicka said proper consultation with the timber sector was not undertaken prior to the boundary extension.
He said they wanted to preserve world heritage attributes while providing some access to wood supplies for specialty timber industries.
The inquiry heard the specialty timbers sector employed 2000 Tasmanians, plus 8000 hobbyists and part-time workers, contributing $70 million to the state economy.

Rob Smith - please don't be sucked in by the 'all or nothing' brigade. Timber is a renewable resource, if managed properly, and can be a good, if minor industry in Tasmania. But it has never been managed properly in Tasmania. It has been politicised and subsidised for decades and the industry itself took its eye off the ball years ago. How else can you explain why in 2014 we still don't have FSC certification for our wood, despite the world going down that route over fifteen years ago? The timber for your house was not sourced from World Heritage forests..... it may come from forests that have the values of a World Heritage forest, but logging is not permitted in forests on the list. Nice try. Wood is essential for building and all sorts of things, but the world will not permit open slather forestry any more. That's just the reality, get over it. Our job is to create a forestry industry in Tassie that fits the world markets, and can be profitable. 'Tearing up' the TFA and removing forests from the World Heritage list is not going to do it.

Dan, I hope Mercury readers still remember my candidacy for the Tasmanian Greens at the Legislative Council elections last year.

"Laugh and the world laughs with you Cry and you cry alone"
"Count your age by Friends, not years
Count your life by smiles, not tears"
In loving memory of Gervis William WADDELL, 92 years, who passed away peacefully on Monday, January 8, 2007 at Saint_Joseph's Villa, Sudbury, Ontario. Grateful husband of Ellen Josephine Caswell McKESSOCK (predeceased 1985.) Proud father of Donald (partner Cathy FERGUSON,) Robert (partner Bonnie GROULX,) Richard (wife Diane,) Judy (husband Gordan ANGELOFF) and James. Fortunate Grandfather of Jody, Damien, Dean, Daniel, Kyle, David, Caitlin, Brendan, Samantha, Kristi, Aiden and Connor. son of William Henry WADDELL and Maria Kairns GERVIS (both deceased.) Stepson of Hazel Jackson WADDELL, a wonderful step-mother (deceased.) Fortunate brother of Hopewell HEWSON (husband Conrad,) Margaret SMITH (husband Myles,) all deceased. Fortunate step-brother of Gwen BRUNATTI (husband Joe,) Jackson WADDELL (deceased 1999,) Keith WADDELL (wife Ida,) Murray WADDELL (wife Joyce,) all of Parry Sound, and Wesley WADDELL of Toronto. His love and support will be sadly missed by numerous nieces and nephews on both sides of the family. Gerv enjoyed a long teaching career which began at Richmond School, a one room school house in Carling Township, Ontario - September 1934-June 1936. This was followed by Victory School in Parry Sound, Ontario - September 1936-June 1939. Opportunities abounded in Sudbury so Gerv moved north to teach at Alexander Public School - September 1939-June 1941. He spoke fondly of summers spent at Camp Falcona as Co-Director with good friend Bill Edgar. He left Sudbury late in 1941 to fight in World War 2 as an Aircrew Navigator with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was on loan to 279 Squadron of the Royal Air Force flying Lougheed Hudsons from the North Sea to the French, Dutch and Danish coasts (Air Sea Resuce, Coastal Command, Bircham Newton, Norfolk, 1943-1944). He was then transferred to 161 Squadron of the Royal Air Force navigating Lougheed Hudsons and Stirling aircraft as Special Duties Support dropping agents and supplies behind enemy lines for the Resistance Movement in France, Holland, Denmark, Northern Germany and Norway, (3 Group-Bomber Command, Tempsford, Bedfordshire, 1944-1945). Crewmates "Nick" Nicholson, Sam Cullen and Bud Schroeder). Gerv finished up the War with 426 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force on long range Military Personnel Transport from Tempsford, Bedfordshire to Karachi, India flying Liberator aircrart. (July 1945-November 19, 1945). He returned to Sudbury to become a Principal of Queen Elizabeth Public School, Wembley Public School, College Street Public School, and Princess Anne Public School with the Sudbury board of Education. Gerv spent "two of the best years of he and wife Ellen's married life" as a Principal on loan to the Canadian Armed Forces at Three Wing in Zweibrucken, Germany (1963-1965). The whole family benefited immensely as a result of this wonderful opportunity. Upon his return to Sudbury, Gerv was the Principal of Adamsdale Public School where he retired in June 1977. Gerv served his community for a decade as an honest and straight forward City Councillor for both the Ryan Ward and Ward Four. He also acted as Deputy Mayor during this time. It must also be mentioned that Gerv was one of the four founding builders/owners of the Caswell Motor Hotel. Gerv was born and raised in Parry Sound, Ontario. He was always proud of his roots and often took fellow "Parry Sounders" under his wing when they made their way to Sudbury to work. Always the gentleman, he will truly be missed by many. Visitation Friday, January 12, 2007 at the Jackson and Barnard Funeral Home. Friends may call 2-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Service Saturday, January 13, 2007, 11: 00 a.m. Saint Peter's United Church, York Street. Interment in the family plot at Park Lawn Cemetery. In honour of Ellen, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.

The reaction of the National Rifle Association and some of the more vociferous gun advocates to the Sandy Hook tragedy has been to continue to refuse to negotiate their positions. Incredibly, even as those children and their teachers were being buried, the NRA and its more strident followers took that opportunity to tirelessly reiterate their guns dont kill people mantra. In this instance, the pro-gun lobby has been completely oblivious to the grief, let alone the concerns, of the American public.
The gun lobbys basic claim of unfettered access to weapons rests on a shaky foundation. It consistently ignores the initial point of the Second Amendment, which plainly reads: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The founders did not ordain the Second Amendment to turn the United States into a free fire zone where any citizen at any time could be shot while simply going about his or her business.
Considering our recent history of mass shootings, we cannot afford to fritter away precious minutes debating such things as the details of specific assault weapons. Such arguments are endless when one side has no interest in budging one inch. Besides, anyone who can look at the images of the children lost at Sandy Hook Elementary while huffing and puffing about their gun rights is not likely to listen to pleas for sanity in our gun laws.
While I have some areas of agreement with gun advocates, Im not inclined to state them now because after Newtown, I honestly could not care less what the gun lobby thinks about anything. Instead, those of us whose priorities are about children, about safe streets and neighborhoods, and about safe schools and marketplaces must now take determined action to see that serious, effective and immediate changes to gun laws are enacted ASAP.
We must demand that our elected representatives at the state and federal levels support President Barack Obamas proposals to track the sale and ownership of firearms and ammo, to allow for the study of gun death statistics, and to ban the sales of assault weapons and high-capacity ammo clips. It is revolting that while most of the nation reacted with heartbreak to the Sandy Hook shooting, thousands across the nation rushed out to purchase record numbers of assault rifles. How many of those gun buyers are individuals we would not want owning a gun of any kind, let alone the highly effective anti-personnel device that an assault weapon is?
We must demand that our politicians stop waffling on the gun issue and start listening to us. I would also invite responsible gun owners to divorce themselves from the NRA and other extremists and join the American public to create a saner and safer society. The tiresome exhortations of the gun extremists only offer more guns, more death and more devastating tragedies. Their arguments are no longer valid, considering the bloody toll their positions have helped create. And while even these extremists have rights, they absolutely do not have the right to hold the rest of us hostage to their passions and paranoia.

Dundee Corporation Announces Proposed Distribution of Dundee Realty Corporation Shares TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/14/12 -- Dundee Corporation (TSX:DC.A) ("Dundee Corporation" or the "Corporation") announces that its Board of Directors has approved, in principle, to proceed with a corporate restructuring, through a tax efficient plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") that will distribute to shareholders of the Corporation a 50% interest in Dundee Realty Corporation, the Corporation's 70% owned real estate subsidiary. The Corporation itself will retain a 20% interest in Dundee Realty, with Mr. Michael Cooper, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Dundee Realty, retaining the remaining 30%. The Corporation expects that the Arrangement, when completed, will result in the establishment of a new public company, with a capital structure that emulates that of Dundee Corporation. The Arrangement will be subject to regulatory, court and shareholder approvals, as well as the listing of the distributed company's shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Arrangement as currently proposed provides that the share structure of the new company to be distributed will emulate that of Dundee Corporation, with the Class A and Class B shares as well as the First Preference Shares, Series 1 receiving their proportionate interest in the distributed company. Upon completion of the Arrangement, Mr. Ned Goodman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, will continue as Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Mr. Michael Cooper will continue as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Goodman and Mr. Cooper will provide our shareholders with continuity in the quality of management of our real estate operations that they have experienced to date. "The Board believes that the current market capitalization of the Corporation understates the intrinsic value of its underlying assets," stated Mr. Goodman. "With two separate publically traded entities, the investment community will be better able to assess the value of each of these businesses." The Corporation expects to deliver an information circular, describing the proposed Arrangement in greater detail, to shareholders entitled to vote in connection with the Arrangement, with a view to holding a special meeting of shareholders to approve the Arrangement and completing the Arrangement in the first quarter of 2013. Further particulars relating to the Arrangement, including the record and meeting dates for such shareholders' meeting, will be provided in due course. ABOUT THE CORPORATION The Corporation is an independent publicly traded Canadian asset management company. The Corporation's asset management activities are focused in the areas of the Corporation's core competencies and include real estate and infrastructure as well as energy, resources and agriculture. Asset management activities are carried out by Goodman Investment Counsel Inc. (formerly Ned Goodman Investment Counsel Limited), a registered portfolio manager and exempt market dealer across Canada and an investment fund manager in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland, and by DREAM, the asset management division of Dundee Realty, currently a 70% owned subsidiary of the Corporation. Asset management activities are supported by the Corporation's ownership interest in Dundee Capital Markets Inc. Dundee Capital Markets Inc. is also the asset manager of the Corporation's flow-through limited partnership business carried out through the "CMP", "CDR" and "Canada Dominion Resources" brands. The Corporation also owns and manages direct investments in these core focus areas, through ownership of both publicly listed and private companies. Real estate operations are carried out through the Corporation's investment in Dundee Realty, an owner, developer and manager of residential and commercial properties in North America and Europe. Energy and resource operations include the Corporation's ownership in Dundee Energy Limited, an oil and natural gas company with a mandate to create long-term value through the development of high impact energy projects. The Corporation also holds other investments in the resource sector, several of which are equity accounted. Agricultural activities are carried out through Dundee Agricultural Corporation. Dundee Agricultural Corporation holds an 84% interest in Blue Goose Capital Corporation, a privately owned Canadian company with a leading position in the organic and natural beef production market with operations in both British Columbia and Ontario.

Silicon Valley Ethics Online
Reflections by Internet industry thought leaders
|Kim Polese, chairman of ClearStreet, raised the ethical problem of the "new digital divide." While most Americans have some access to the Internet, there are wide disparities in access to high-speed, wired, broadband in the home, with economically disadvantaged and underrepresented populations falling way behind.
|Dan Warmenhoven, NetApp executive chairman, reflected on the ethical issues raised by big data, particularly global positioning. What happens when the GPS technology that allows us to answer the question, "Where am I?" also answers the question, "Where are you?" Warmenhoven asked.
|Do we have the right to be forgotten? Owen Tripp, co-founder of Reputation.com, talked about whether people who commit youthful indiscretions should be able to "edit" the information that exists about them online.
The Internet Ethics Program received seed funding from Center Advisory Board member Noel Perry, managing director of Baccharis Capital. At a moment when online privacy and surveillance are emerging as key issues, Perry's gift helped the Center to enter into the public conversation about how new technologies should be used.
