Fight master set standards for stage combat
Canadian Press, Wednesday, December 24, 2003 - Page R9
Stratford, Ontario -- Patrick (Paddy) CREAN, a longtime fight director at the Stratford Festival who set international standards on staging combat in theatre, died Monday after an illness. He was 93.
Mr. CREAN, who was a competitive fencer, began choreographing fights in 1932 when he was working in his native England as an actor in The Legends of Don Juan. From then on he was frequently hired to stage fight scenes in theatre and movies such as The Master of Ballantree and The Sword of Sherwood Forest. He worked with actors including Paul SCOFIELD, Laurence OLIVIER, Trevor HOWARD, Alec GUINNESS, Douglas FAIRBANKS Jr. and Errol FLYNN, often acting as FLYNN's stunt double in movies.
Mr. CREAN first came to the Stratford Festival in 1962 to be fight arranger for a staging of Macbeth and ended up by making Stratford his home. He remained as festival fight director until 1983, arranging combat scenes for such demanding productions as The Three Musketeers. He continued to work as an actor, sometimes taking small roles in shows for which he had done fight arranging and also performing a one-man show, The Sun Never Sets. A funeral will be held Saturday in Stratford.

Journalist, teacher, a 'fountain of information'
Columnist reputed to have been the only person in the Ottawa Press Gallery who understood the Canada Pension Plan when it was introduced by the Pearson government in 1966
By Allison LAWLOR Wednesday, October 1, 2003 - Page R7
Journalist Don McGILLIVRAY surrounded himself with thousands of books. Every nook and cranny of his Ottawa home was filled with the 15,000 volumes he had collected over his lifetime.
As a national newspaper columnist and journalism professor who used words for a living, he knew each one of his books intimately. He could pull one off the shelf and immediately find the exact reference he was looking for whether it was a few lines of a T. S. Eliot poem, the history of a word or an obscure piece of Canadian political history.
A voracious reader all his life, Mr. McGILLIVRAY, who died in a Victoria hospital on June 24 at the age of 76, proudly claimed that he had read all the books in the Moose Jaw Public Library by age 12. He later became a serious book collector, a mass that grew over the years until, in the late 1990s, he donated it to the University of Northern British Columbia. When the time came to ship the collection, it took 465 boxes to hold the approximately 15,000 books, many of which were devoted to language and etymology. To his colleagues, Mr. McGILLIVRAY was a walking resource library.
Mr. McGILLIVRAY, who joined the Southam News Ottawa bureau in 1962 as a parliamentary correspondent, was reputed to have been the only person in the Ottawa Press Gallery who understood the Canada Pension Plan when it was introduced by the Pearson government in 1966, and was constantly in demand from other reporters needing help understanding a new budget.
"He was a great fountain of information," said his friend and colleague Tim CREERY. "He just loved talking about politics and policies."
Having started his journalism career at The Regina Leader-Post in 1951 as a reporter and then a city-desk editor, Mr. McGILLIVRAY went on to become a national economics and political columnist for Southam News. Readers of Southam papers across the country turned to Mr. McGILLIVRAY's columns to find complex economic and political policies explained in clear and simple language.
Mr. McGILLIVRAY approached his columns with skepticism and was always suspicious of authority. "He spent a lot of time examining things from an opposite point of view," his son, Murray McGILLIVRAY said.
That didn't always make him a favourite in Ottawa. But that only delighted Mr. McGILLIVRAY, who felt it his duty as a journalist to expose the flim-flam. He believed journalism's highest duty was "the revelation of things that politicians would rather keep hidden," Murray McGILLIVRAY added.
"He was a very independent minded person," Mr. CREERY said. "He sort of questioned everything."
He succeeded in getting himself banned from the Parliamentary Press Gallery's annual dinner by reporting, and inciting other journalists to report on, the sometimes bad behaviour and humorous speeches given there by political leaders and other invited politicians. While his generation of reporters carried the stereotype of hard drinkers, Mr. McGILLIVRAY, a teetotalling Prairie Baptist, didn't take part in the debauchery and he succeeded in getting the once off-the-record dinner on the record.
Donald Gerald McGILLIVRAY was born June 21, 1927, in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan., the fourth of five children to Malcolm and Mary McGILLIVRAY. For the first years of his life he lived on the family's "barren, quarter-section" farm in Archive, Saskatchewan.
Mr. McGILLIVRAY left the farm to study economics at the University of Saskatchewan, before starting his journalistic career in 1951 at The Regina Leader-Post.
In September of the previous year (1950) he had married Julietta KEPNER, whom he met while working for the summer at a hardware store in Moose Jaw. The couple had four children. Julietta died from cancer in 1979.
From Regina, Mr. McGILLIVRAY and his family moved to Winnipeg in 1955 where he worked as a reporter and columnist for The Winnipeg Tribune.
In 1962, the family headed east to Ottawa where Mr. McGILLIVRAY took a job as parliamentary correspondent for Southam News. From there he was posted to Washington and then London, where he covered the Vietnam War protests and the 1967 Six-Day War.
In 1970, he returned to Canada to become associate editor of The Edmonton Journal, but soon returned east in 1972 as editor of The Financial Times of Canada. He returned to the Southam News Ottawa bureau in 1975 and remained there as a national political and economic columnist until the mid-1990s.
Aside from writing, Mr. McGILLIVRAY also mentored a generation of journalists at Montreal's Concordia University and later at Ottawa's Carleton University.
When Mr. McGILLIVRAY officially retired from Southam in 1992, he continued to write his weekly political and business columns, but in 1995 he started showing symptoms of a Parkinson's-like disease that left him unable to read.
He leaves his children Murray, Peigi Ann, Neil and Fionna, his sister Marion and brother Allan. He was predeceased by wife Julietta and brother Archie.
A celebration of Mr. McGILLIVRAY's life is planned for October 19 in Ottawa.

Kenneth Fawcett COLLINS
By Alan RAYBURN Thursday, May 29, 2003 - Page A26
Husband, father, grandfather, veteran, volunteer, family historian. Born November 23, 1916, in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Died February 19, in Ottawa, of cancer, aged 86.
Ken COLLINS was born close to the New Hampshire border, into a family with very deep New England roots. His father Bernard (Bern) traced his roots back to the 1600s in that area, while his mother, Eleanor (Elly) McPHERSON, came from Grand Valley in Dufferin County, Ontario Elly's mother, Elizabeth Adaline FAWCETT, was the source of Ken's second name. Bern and Elly emigrated from the United States to Montreal in 1926, and then, in 1930, moved to North Bay, Ontario
In 1941, Ken graduated from Queen's University in Kingston with a degree in chemical engineering and worked in the Welland Chemical Works in Niagara Falls for two years. He then joined the Canadian army's Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, and rose to the rank of lieutenant-colonel. Ken's pride as a commandant of "Reemee" was revealed in his car licence plate: CREME.
Ken served overseas from 1943 to 1946, and was a Normandy veteran. After the war, he held various staff and regimental appointments, mostly in Ottawa. Upon retiring from the army in 1967, Ken was engaged by Carleton University to administer the department of planning and construction until 1982.
During his Queen's graduation week, Ken married Evalyn ROBLIN, who had been raised west of Kingston in Adolphustown Township, Lennox and Addington County. After he discovered that local historians had been mistaken about which of two ancestral Roblin roots were Evalyn's, he vigorously launched into a search of his own family roots. Over a period of some 60 years he accumulated 24 thick binders on family connections. He was able to trace back 18 generations, with King Edward 4th among his ancestors in the 1400s.
Ken and Evalyn had three children, Marianne, Bruce (a fireman who was killed in a fire in 1972), and Elizabeth; also, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Family was very important to Ken; he was very proud of his offspring.
For almost a quarter of a century, Ken was a Friday evening volunteer at the Family History Centre of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Ottawa's Prince of Wales Drive. There he guided both experienced and novice family historians to find their ancestral records.
Recognizing the value of working with others involved in genealogy (right up there in North American hobby popularity, right after stamp collecting), Ken joined the Ontario Genealogical Society and its Ottawa Branch in 1972. After serving as the chair of the branch in the mid-1970s, he rose through the ranks to become the president of the Ontario Genealogical Society from 1977 to Ken was a prime mover of recording gravestone inscriptions in Ontario's cemeteries. As the Ontario Genealogical Society cemetery inscription coordinator from 1974 to 1992, he saw the number of recorded cemeteries rise from 1,800 to more than 5,000. A spinoff from the cemetery recordings is the much-used Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid on the Internet, which publishes the indexes of the cemetery recordings.
Ken was a member of Rideau Park United Church in the Alta Vista area of Ottawa, and had worked there for 36 years with the Boy Scouts. When his grand_son, John BAIRD (now an Ontario cabinet minister) became a teenager, he guided him to become a Queen's Scout.
Ken COLLINS was a great mentor, friend and gentleman: his contributions to family history studies, cemetery recordings and Scouting will long serve many Ottawa and Ontario generations to come.
Alan RAYBURN is a friend of Ken COLLINS; Edward KIPP contributed to the article.

Politician, chef, farmer cooked for presidents
He first came to Canada after the Second World War at the invitation of the Dutch ambassador
By Randy RAY Special to The Globe and Mail Wednesday, March 5, 2003 - Page R9
Ottawa -- Anton WYTENBURG was a proficient chef who had little time to prepare meals for his wife and 10 children because he was often too busy cooking for others, including presidents and other dignitaries.
"He was never a chef at home, because he was always working in a hotel somewhere or at the bakery, " says his son Rudy of Ottawa, who says his father's specialties were Dutch pastries and cakes.
At one point, Mr. WYTENBURG was a cook at the venerable Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, where he helped prepare meals for U.S. presidents Dwight EISENHOWER and Harry TRUMAN, and president-to-be John F. KENNEDY. In 1945, he worked as a chef for General Henry CRERAR at a Canadian Officers' Club in Holland.
Mr. WYTENBURG, a native of Delft, the Netherlands, died in Ottawa on January 30. He was 83.
The son of a Dutch tailor, Mr. WYTENBURG completed Grade 8 in Delft and landed a job at a bakery. Later, he moved to Scheveningen to work as a sous chef in an oceanside hotel.
While working there, he learned to speak German, French and English and, during the Second World War, used his language skills as part of the Dutch resistance in its fight against the invading Germans.
Later, while working for Gen. CRERAR, Mr. WYTENBURG was asked by Dr. Jan VAN ROYEN, the Dutch ambassador to Canada, to come to work for him as a chef at the Dutch embassy in Ottawa.
"Anton gladly accepted the opportunity. The Dutch were and are forever grateful for the support of the Canadians during the war, " said Rudy. In 1947, he came to Canada to work at the embassy in Ottawa.
In 1950, when the Dutch ambassador was transferred to Washington, Mr. WYTENBURG worked as a chef at the French embassy in Ottawa before buying a bakery in Ottawa that became the first Dutch pastry shop in the city. The business, renamed Anton's Select Pastries, later expanded to include five outlets.
In 1952, he married Catharina VAN VUGT, also a native of the Netherlands, whom he met when she was a nanny for the secretary to the Dutch ambassador. That year, Dutch Queen Juliana paid a visit to one of Anton's bakeries.
While running their bakeries, the WYTENBURGs made many Friends, including some who farmed outside Ottawa and spoke highly of life in the country. This led them to buy a small farm west of Ottawa in 1962 and in 1964 would see the family give up its bakeries in favour of full-time agriculture on larger Ottawa Valley spreads, first in Richmond and later in Renfrew, where dairy farming would become the family's bread and butter.
As a farmer, Mr. WYTENBURG took a keen interest in agricultural organizations and committees. "He had a way with people, he could diffuse tense situations and always find a solution, " says Rudy.
Over the years, Mr. WYTENBURG's sons took on more of the farming responsibilities, leaving their father with more time for the many organizations he worked with, including the Ottawa-Carleton Safety Council and the Richmond Agricultural Society. In the late 1970s, Friends and neighbours urged him to consider politics.
In 1978, he won a councillor's seat in the rural ward of Goulbourn in 1980, he ran for mayor but lost; he tried again in 1982 and was successful, sitting as Mayor of Goulbourn Township from 1982 through to 1991. He was also on the council of the former Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton.
Moving a large family around the community and the farm was difficult, until Mr. WYTENBURG bought a used, fully stretched Cadillac limousine.
"It sure raised a few eyebrows when we were being chauffeured to the hay fields in a black limo, " recalls Rudy. "It often made for a bit of fun when the boys would ask an unsuspecting gal out on a date."
Mr. WYTENBURG left politics and farming in 1991 at age 72. After retiring, he continued to volunteer his time to help out on committees and task forces and as a strong supporter of the church. At the age of 75, he was the oldest participant in a walkathon for a local charity.
Mr. WYTENBURG leaves 10 children who live in California, Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Renfrew, Ottawa and in England. Two of them continue to operate the family's 440-hectare farm near Renfrew.

Thomas MacDONALD
By Joan ROBINSON Friday, March 14, 2003 - Page A24
Father, husband, caterer. Born November 12, 1915, in Liverpool, England. Died January 25, in Ottawa, of a stroke, aged 87.
Tom MacDONALD was the third of nine children born to William and Mary Ellen MacDONALD. The family emigrated from England to Canada in 1924 and settled in Kingston, Ontario With the outbreak of the Second World War, Tom and his four brothers joined the Armed Forces. Tom enlisted in the Canadian Army on January 25, 1940. He was assigned as batman/driver to Lieutenant-General H. D. R. CRERAR. In 1944, the Kingston Whig Standard featured a photo of "Cpl. T. McDONALD" sewing an extra pip on CRERAR's uniform, marking his promotion to full General; CRERAR was then Commander of the First Canadian Army. During those war years, Tom served with the general in Italy, Sicily, the Netherlands, Belgium, North Africa, France and Germany. One of his duties was to prepare the general's meals; he became proficient at obtaining and preparing reasonable meals with scant resources. It was during this time that he developed a keen interest in food preparation.
After the war, Tom remained in the army. Although he had no professional training, his natural flair for food preparation and presentation led to his employment in Ottawa by National Defence Headquarters as organizer and caterer of official banquets and what was known as "the cocktail party circuit." On a private basis, the United States Embassy also employed him in this capacity.
Among his effects are letters of appreciation from Ambassador Livingston MERCHANT of the U.S. Embassy and one from then-president Dwight EISENHOWER, thanking Tom for his efforts during the Second World War, as well as his contributions during two presidential trips to Ottawa. It concludes: "With best wishes to a former comrade-in-arms."
During this time he also accompanied General CRERAR on official business trips, wherein his role was to assist in the personal needs of the CRERAR family. Many of these trips were to major Canadian cities but in 1947, Tom accompanied General CRERAR on a trade development mission to Hawaii, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Manila. His last international trip took place in the 1960s when, in a similar role, he travelled to Cyprus with a delegation headed by Minister of Defence Paul HELLYER.
In 1965, he was honourably released from the army. He then assumed the position of steward at 24 Sussex Drive. He served with Prime Minister Lester PEARSON from 1965 to 1968 and with Prime Minister Pierre TRUDEAU from 1968 to 1975. He was again responsible for the organization of formal banquets and other entertainment. On one such occasion, a photo much prized by Tom's English mother shows him in formal dress, standing ready to serve the Queen Mother.
Although officially retired in 1975, he maintained his interest in cooking both in his private catering business and at home. He was a lively, fun-loving man and with his wife, Verena, hosted many memorable parties wherein his love of people and sense of humour had full rein.
Tom was proud of his country, his city and his war service. He could be moved to tears by memories of his war years and every year that he was physically able he marched in the Veteran's Day parade wearing his war medals.
In his declining years, he was comforted by the care and companionship of his family and Friends. At Uncle Tom's funeral they volunteered their special memories of him. There was much laughter and few tears as befitted the man. The music of his favourite song We'll Meet Again concluded the ceremony -- sung, of course, by Vera LYNN. He will be missed by many, including nieces, nephews, Friends and surviving comrades-in-arms.
Joan is Tom MacDONALD's niece.

Susan Elizabeth CRERAR
By Lauren LINTON and Kelly KIRKLAND, Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - Page A18
Daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother. Born March 30, 1939, in Port Arthur, Ontario Died March 11, 2003, in Delray Beach, Florida, of ovarian cancer, aged 63.
The youngest of two girls, Sue was born to Robert and Laura PRETTIE, a high-profile couple who had moved to Port Arthur, Ontario, to start Northern Wood Preservers Ltd. Sue's strong will and innate sense of fairness were rewarded with her many Friends. Sue would cause trouble if she thought the system was not fair for all. She carried this attitude to boarding school in Toronto where she let it be known that she disagreed with the many rules imposed by the strict girls' school.
After graduating from Havergal College, Sue headed to Vancouver to attend the University of British Columbia. On her second day on campus, Sue met Bill CRERAR at a "registration mixer." Bill said he was quick to "latch onto her and take her off the dating circuit." There they began the love affair that would last more than 44 years.
The children came soon after with Kelly, Lauren, and Steve all born within four years. Sue's philosophy was that if you were home with one child you might as well be home with a few (this seemed reasonable until we had our own kids). The family moved to Berkeley, Calif., where Bill completed his M.B.A. and Sue stayed home with the three young children and became involved in various local charities. After graduation, the family moved to White Plains, New York A fourth child, Andrew, was born in One of Sue's many gifts was her ability to create a home in any environment. We have memories of living in dust and plastic during the many home-renovation projects and eating unidentifiable meals prepared in the microwave aboard a travelling motor home. Mom made it all seem like a great adventure.
Another move brought the family to Toronto in 1967 where Sue could be closer to her sister, Audrey. She volunteered with various non-profit organizations and also served on a number of boards, including the Shaw Festival. In 1975, Sue persuaded a good friend, Diane, that they should open an art gallery, and Hollander York Gallery was founded. She showed us the importance of balancing work and family.
Sue had a great appreciation for the written word. She relished her moments of solitude with a book or newspaper and also had a great talent for expressing herself on paper. When fax machines were invented, Sue saw this new technology as an opportunity soon all family members (including grandparents) were given fax machines and the Family Fax Network was born. And when Sue taught herself how to operate a Macintosh computer, all her faxes arrived neatly typed. When e-mail was the new rage, Sue took it up with passion and couldn't understand why everyone (including her husband!) did not have an e-mail address.
It was as a mother that Sue had the most profound impact. Communication with her two daughters and two sons was daily by phone, fax or e-mail. She was always happy to hear from us and was so wise about so many things, from relationship woes to disciplinary issues with children.
One can never forget Sue's loud, infectious laugh. She laughed at herself when she would tell the story of how her printer broke down and she purchased a new printer only to discover that she had forgotten to plug in the original computer. Human foibles, especially her own, delighted her and she was so quick to see the humour in any situation.
In July, 2001, Sue was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Sue never hesitated to say to curious Friends "I am more than just a cancer patient." She knew the end was near at Christmas 2002 and kept this awareness private between herself and her best friend, Bill.
Lauren and Kelly are Sue's daughters.

Camel Spiders vs. Scorpions and Insects
Californian Camel Spider
This video is probably from California. It is a family camping in the desert, and the guy finds a camel spider in a bag. You can see how the camel spider seeks the shade all the time, and that it is rather fast. It is not very big either, and it is absolutely not dangerous to humans.
Camel Spider Eating a Mouse
This video shows a full grown camel spider eating a small mouse. As the video in the video section also shows, camel spiders are capable of catching and killing fairly large animals. Its strong chelicerae allow it to crush any prey of a reasonable size it encounters. As they are rather fast, they have no problem tracking down a hurt or unwary animal or even ambushing a fast moving animal. Since camel spiders only eat meat, they are not interested in leafs, etc. The movements it makes while eating is to breathe through its trachea. The type of species in this video (Rhagodes) is not found in the USA, but they can be imported as pets.

Camel spiders are also known as sun spiders, beard cutters (due to their large jaws), wind spiders, and wind scorpions. The name solifugid means "escaping from the sun," which is very characteristic of camel spiders in terms of behavior.
There are two families of Camel spiders in North America. Both contain numerous sub-species. However, as camel spiders are only found in deserts, grasslands and beach dunes. On a micro-habitat level habitats that are considered xeric. In the 2006 issue of Journal of Arachnology[5], a list with places where camel spiders were found is listed. The places where you are most likely to eoncounter a solifugae are: California, Texas, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Nevada, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Myths About Camel Spiders
The myths circulating about their size, that they can grow as large as dinner plates, never disappear because of the infamous hoax image showing two camel spiders tied together.
The hissing sound they can make also generates various myths. It creates the hissing sound by a stridulatory organ.[3].
A recent study showed that the stridulatory organ had a similar morphology in all developmental stages of the camel spider. The conclusion from the study was that the hissing had a defensive purpose (ibid).
Habitat - Fleeing From the Sun
Camel spiders prefer dry, sandy areas and are found in Northern Africa and in the Middle East, including Iraq and Afghanistan. In these semi-arid environmental conditions they follow the shade whenever their sensory organs sense it.
Camel spiders, like solifugids, are nocturnal animals. Soldiers claim that camel spiders chase people in the Iraqi desert but it is, of course, the shadow that the animals are seeking.
Camel spiders are neither dangerous nor venomous, and humans have nothing to fear from them. The myth about how dangerous camel spider bites are is purely an anecdote. Although a bite is probably painful, only the bacteria in its mouthpart is capable of hurting you.
They are not strong enough to capture and kill large mammals, but occasionally they catch undersized birds.
Camel spiders can move at velocities of almost ten miles per hour. Their oxygen uptake capacity is high, which explains why they can move that fast. A side-effect of their high metabolic activity is a short life-span.
Obviously, it is not American soldiers who arranged the battle.
When stretched out, camel spiders can reach a length of five inches, although the average size is somewhere between one-half inch to three inches. Their abdomens have 11 segments, and there is no intermediary segment separating the head from the abdomen. They have two clearly visible eyes and five so called "racket organs." These organs are probably rudimentary eyes, as scorpions have five very small eyes.
Camel spiders are covered with hairs and spines that allow them to move quickly and sense vibrations in their surroundings.
In his study from 1966, Martin Huma[4] divided the mating habits of solfugids into three phases. The first phase is the attack phase, the second phase is the contact phase, and the third phase is the transfer phase. In the attack phase, either the male or female assumes an attacking position by raising the first pair of legs. In this phase, the male initiates the contact phase by a jump forward towards the female. This either results in a combat between the two or a complete submission by the female where the male grabs her with his chelicerae. If she does not fight him so much that he flees, the male will copulate with the female to impregnate her with offspring.
The presented phylogenetic tree indicates how camel spiders share the same common ancestor as spiders and scorpions.
Throughout the evolution of solifugae, camel spiders and their ancestors before them have laid their eggs in the sand. The solifugae is a distinct evolutionary lineage. The first solifugae probably evolved in the Mesozoic Era around 250-265 million years ago as ancestors of primordial scorpions arising from the sea.
The picture above shows how camel spiders are related to both scorpions and true spiders. It is obvious that they are more closely related to scorpions.
Arachnida consists of ten orders (see below) of which the camel spider (solifugae) is one of them. Within the camel spiders, there are approximately 900 species in six different families.
Table: Various orders Within the Class Arachnida
|Mites and ticks
|True spiders
|Micro-whip scorpions
|Whip Scorpions
|Camel Spiders
Although camel spiders look similar to spiders and scorpions, they are different. They do not have venom or silk glands, and they kill and chew their prey with their powerful jaws.

Carly Fiorina -- the former Hewlett-Packard CEO who was U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer's Republican challenger in 2010 -- has been named chairwoman of the American Conservative Union's educational arm.
ACU Chairman Al Cardenas on Tuesday announced his appointment of Fiorina, 59, who now lives in Virginia, to head the American Conservative Union Foundation; she'll succeed current chairwoman Cleta Mitchell next Tuesday.
"I very much look forward to reaching out to all Americans -- whether they think of themselves as conservatives or not -- and engaging in a conversation about why the principles of personal liberty and personal responsibility simply work better," Fiorina said in the ACU's news release. "Bloated and unaccountable bureaucracies cannot make better decisions than families and entrepreneurs can make for themselves."
The ACU's release said, "Fiorina's conservative philosophy has been battle-tested on Wall Street and Main Street."
"It's one thing to be a conservative among friends; it's quite another to be an unapologetic public conservative in California," Cardenas said. "At this pivotal moment for our nation's economy, we look forward to Carly's razor-sharp insights into restoring prosperity and entrepreneurship to America."
Reed's ballot initiative draws plenty of fire
We reported last month that San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed is considering a statewide ballot initiative that would make it easier for California government officials to trim their employee pension plans and control their soaring costs, something that might help his case if a court tosses his Measure B.
Well, the folks fighting to ensure that the days of government officials retiring early with $100,000-plus pensions never end signaled last week that they're not going to let a California retirement reform initiative effort get airborne without a fight.
The Institute for America's Future, a liberal Washington, D.C., think tank, released a report last week called "The Plot Against Pensions." It essentially calls concerns about ballooning government pension costs a unicorn birthed by Wall Street sharpers. It singles out in particular John Arnold, a Texas investor whose Laura and John Arnold Foundation bankrolls pension reform efforts in California and other states.
Calling Arnold an "Enron billionaire," the report argued that "conservative activists are manufacturing the perception of a public pension crisis in order to both slash modest retiree benefits and preserve expensive corporate subsidies and tax breaks."
Arnold made his pile trading in natural gas, including for Enron, the Texas energy trading company accused of profiteering off California's deregulated electricity markets before collapsing in a fraudulent accounting scandal in 2001.
The report doesn't mention San Jose, and we can't vouch for its findings. But you can see the campaign arguments taking shape.
War averted between teachers, intern group
A small wording change in how to vet intern teachers last week threatened to reignite a firefight between California's education establishment and the upstart Teach For America, which places newly minted college graduates in some of the nation's toughest schools.
The battle was averted with Stanford professor Linda Darling-Hammond and the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing backing down. But it highlights the friction between those supporting the K-12 status quo and those anxious to change it.
The commission, headed by Darling-Hammond, had been poised to change the due dates for portfolios it requires of first-year intern teachers -- a requirement Teach For America argued would be nearly impossible to meet.
"They were going to front-load all this work during the busiest time for a teacher," TFA spokesman Steve Mancini said.
Darling-Hammond denied targeting TFA -- although she's been critical of it and other programs that bypass traditional teacher-preparation programs (like Stanford's) in favor of alternatives like TFA that offer condensed boot camps, intense mentoring and early-years support.
TFA has provided the spark reinvigorating some struggling schools. When the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District reorganized a failing school several years ago, it filled all except one classroom with TFA teachers, former Superintendent Jose Manzo said. In three years, the newly formed Russo and McEntee elementary schools scored over 800, the state's goal, on the Academic Performance Index.
TFA teachers "are extremely focused and dogged about being successful," an attitude that spreads to students, Manzo said.
But critics, including Darling-Hammond, say most TFAers don't stay in education after their two-year commitment, and that it isn't fair to saddle struggling schools with brand-new teachers.
Stay tuned; more skirmishes are likely to crop up.
Flier irks sponsors of Belmont election forum
The Belmont Chamber of Commerce was forced to improvise Thursday night after its flier advertising an election forum spooked the event's co-sponsor and moderator, leading them to withdraw their support.
The Belmont Library and Peninsula chapter of the League of Women Voters decided not to participate after hearing complaints about the chamber's mailer, which included a series of leading questions about city issues. The chamber wound up holding a meet and greet with all six City Council candidates outside the darkened, locked library.
Jacqueline Jacobberger, a past president of the League of Women Voters of North and Central San Mateo County who was scheduled to moderate the forum, said the league's policy is not to engage in events where any sponsors or hosts have endorsed candidates or taken positions that favor some candidates over others.
"The impression it gave," Jacobberger said of the flier, "was if the candidate gives the right answers to these questions, then you should vote for that candidate."
The three-page mailer included eight questions or issues the chamber considers important, along with the chamber's perspective. On the subject of the city's tree ordinance, for instance, the flier says, "Currently this is way too restrictive; homeowners should be able to cut their own trees without paying someone from the city to say yes or no. Why?"
Mary Morrissey Parden, a chamber board member, said the league withdrew its support only after Belmont's city manager and city attorney intervened, advising the county-operated library to pull out. She said chamber leaders feel like they were censored. We couldn't get ahold of City Manager Greg Scoles, but in an email to the chamber Thursday he denied telling the library to cancel.
As for the flier, Morrissey Parden said, "It was not to influence voters. It was to provoke questions."

This edition of PwC's Retail and Consumer Insights series focuses on the financial performance of consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies in 2014. In this report, we discuss how the economy impacted retailers and CPG manufacturers, and provide detailed financial benchmark analyses.
In this report, our benchmarks include a range of metrics for growth, returns, income, liquidity, and balance sheet results. We analyze companies by size (small, medium, large, and very large), sector (food, beverage, and household products), and source of primary revenues (global and domestic).
As in previous years, we have also sorted companies with sales of more than $4 billion (large and very large) into performance quartiles and analyzed the results over five years to find the common characteristics that the highest-ranking manufacturers share, a category we call top-performing companies. A common trend that we have seen is that top-performing companies are getting fit for growth and investing in differentiating capabilities and operational excellence.
In this year's analysis, there were some interesting contrasts between the performances of global and domestic manufacturers and the performance of retailers and manufacturers. Company size also yielded intriguing differences in performance, especially in terms of net sales growth.
These performance results suggest that although 2014 was a year in which the economy continued its slow recovery from the Great Recession lows and employment continues on its upswing, US manufacturers must keep relying on their own ingenuity and innovation to spark their growth rather than wait for a slowly rising and undependable global economic tide to lift them up.

We describe work-in-progress which aims at compiling suitably restricted functional programs with lazy lists directly into hardware. This extends previous work on SAFL which demonstrated that functional languages are effective at describing "fire-and-wait-for-result" programs, but for which stream-like I/O was awkward or impossible. Other frameworks (e.g. Lava) have used functional languages as a form of macro-language, so that executing a program generates a net-list (structural) description, while our language is compiled directly ("behaviourally") to hardware. In particular our stream operations (represented as creation and pattern matching of lazy CONS cells) are mapped into channel writes and reads. We introduce our language, SASL, compare our approach to that of synchronous stream/signal languages, and give example functional descriptions which can be compiled to hardware.

A Portlaoise businessman has criticized Laois County Council for sending out menacing letters threatening legal action if rates were not paid. Letters threatening legal action if rates were not paid in seven days were dispatched to a number of Portlaoise businesses last month. This has provoked fury among local businesses who believe the letters were completely unwarranted and unnecessary. One local business person, who did not wish to be named, called the letter "disgraceful." The businessman, who has a longstanding business in the town, said: "It was unwarranted. They should know better. It's absolutely disgraceful. If they checked their records before they sent out notices it wouldn't have happened; they would see I always paid in December. It would be our busiest time and would be the best time to pay it," he said.

Drogheda's tourism economy has taken a €7 million hit after it was announced that the 3 Irish Open will not be returning to Baltray Golf Club in 2010. The four day event will be held over the August bank holiday at Killarney Golf and Fishing Club. Michael Delany, Baltray club secretary/manager said that while the club is 'mindful' of the local economy and the definite loss to the area, 'it is outside our control'. He added that the Tour had approached Baltray on two occasions. 'We were willing to oblige then and if the situation arise again we would be willing to oblige. Tournaments move on and very few stay in the same place. If they come back to us in 2011 and say 'Are you interested?', we will look it again'.

In an incident with similarities to the New York incident where a plane had to crash land on the Hudson River, an outbound flight from Knock had to divert after also having a flock of birds get caught up in its propellers last week. The flight to Manchester had to divert to Shannon, thankfully for all concerned it was the airport and not the river. The 'freak' incident occurred last Monday afternoon with the plane crashing into a flock of birds after take-off. With a 'chugging' noise from the engines audible to the passengers, the flight was diverted to Shannon as a precaution. It landed there for inspection by an aeronautical engineer and the BMI Baby group sent another plane from Manchester to Shannon to bring the passengers across.

Gardai are investigating whether a major fire at a landmark east Meath hotel last week was started maliciously. The owner of the former Europa Hotel at Colpe Cross, between Julianstown and Drogheda, Mr. Hugh Curran, confirmed he expected it to have to be demolished as a result of the blaze. In 1987 the hotel, then known as the Rossnaree Hotel, made national headlines when two men were shot dead there as part of a feud between the INLA and IPLO. At one point, 20 firefighters from Louth and Meath were fighting the major outbreak, which was spotted at around 9.20pm on Sunday night last.

The Ultimate Personalized Marketing
We all get direct mail with personalized fields that are supposed to make us think the company marketing to us knows what makes us tick. The same with email, personal URL's, and other messaging that we know deep down is really just mass-produced by a computer. In today's saturated media market where people's attention spans are split in five thousand different directions, companies have to do something really special to capture a customer's attention and make them believe an advertisement was made just for them. And that's exactly what Wilkes University recently did.
The small school in northeast Pennsylvania wanted to attract local incoming freshmen who typically had the credentials to attend college far away from home. Their marketing team decided to focus on a small number of students to personally bombard with advertising. Not brochures in the mail, calls to their house, or personal websites like a lot of colleges do; Wilkes bought billboard space, radio spots, and TV commercials to say things like "Nicole Pollock: Our goal at Wilkes University is to be as much a mentor as your mother has been. (Now, if we could only make her ravioli.)"
Imagine being Nicole Pollock and driving to school one day, seeing that billboard for the first time. Not only did the campaign convince a number of the targeted students to apply to Wilkes, it created interest among their classmates and the rest of their local community. Obviously the campaign isn't scalable for most large companies, but the same principles apply to any kind of marketing. That feeling Nicole or any of the other students had when they saw that Wilkes University went out of its way to speak directly to them is the same feeling you should strive to create in every customer.
There are too many examples out there of "Dear firstname lastname, On xx/xx you purchased itemxyz, would you like to buy upsellxyz?" That may work better than using no personalization at all, but in today's world you have to create a deeper customer relationship. Take the time to find out what motivates your customers, take advantage of every touchpoint to learn about their needs, and don't let customers become a series of fields on a spreadsheet. Make every one feel like Nicole and her fellow prospective Wilkes University students.

Belize city was still a bit of a slum outside of the tender area. My wife had no interest in going ashore as she didn't like it the first time we arrived there, too much poverty. So I went alone and did go for a good walk and found a very nice public beach area about a mile due north. It was well groomed, clean and totally devoid of anyone. It was almost next to the Princess Casino and Hotel. If I come back to Belize I might take a walk up to the beach again and actually utilize it. This port is not a really good attraction for a cruise. Take an excursion, either from the ship or on your own.
Normally we make this our beach day but my wife didn't feel like that this time so we took a cab to town. The size of this ship dictates that it has to moor at the furthest dock from the city so an $8 dollar cab ride is in order or you will have to walk quite a distance to get there. The price for the ride is $8 for the car up to four passengers, not per person or per couple. If you are only a couple and the cabbie crams in another couple do not let them charge you $8 each pair. They will try to scam you if they can but stand firm and only pay $8. The town hasn't changed much since the last time we went there and not to the beach. Same multitude of Diamond International stores and all their competitors. Going there reminded me why we started going to the beach all those years ago. Unless you want dubious deals on jewelry, just take a cab and go to the beach south of the port.
Over priced for what you get. Actual time with animals about 15 minutes.

Oliver Twist
by Charles Dickens
Oliver Twist Chapter 2 Summary
READ THE BOOK: Chapter 2
"Treats of Oliver Twist's Growth, Education, and Board"
- Oliver gets sent out to be "farmed" because there isn't a wet nurse to be found at the workhouse after his mother dies.
- Dickens treats us to a scathingly ironic description of the wretched conditions at the baby farm run by Mrs. Mann.
- Now, allow us to interrupt our scheduled program for a Historical Context Lesson: "baby farms" like Mrs. Mann's actually existed, and the worst ones had mortality rates as high as 90%. Put differently, that would mean that only 1 baby in 10 would survive infancy at a baby farm like Mrs. Mann's.
- But back to the story: Oliver survives infancy, if he doesn't thrive. He's now eight years old (wow, eight years in two chapters!) and he's a "pale, thin child, somewhat diminutive in stature, and decidedly small in circumference" (2.4). Apparently, Mrs. Mann doesn't feed the babies very much; she pockets the extra money she should have been spending on their food and clothing. Sounds like a fun lady.
- Mr. Bumble, the Beadle, comes to inspect the baby farm. Time for another Historical Context Lesson (there will be fewer as we go along): in the Church of England, a beadle was somebody who worked for the parish and was in charge of charity (i.e., the workhouse and the orphanages). In Judaism, beadles were assistants at the synagogue (like the character Moshe the Beadle in Night by Elie Wiesel).
- And now back to our regularly scheduled programming: Mr. Bumble arrives at Mrs. Mann's baby farm, and over a glass of gin and water with a spoonful of sugar (don't try this at home; we do not recommend it), we learn something new about Oliver's name—it was "inwented" by Mr. Bumble, to use his phrase (2.22). For more on the possible implications of Oliver's name, check out the "Character Analysis" section.
- Mr. Bumble plans to take Oliver back to the workhouse with him because, at age eight, he's old enough to start working.
- Oliver is cleaned up (sort of) and is taken before the parish board and questioned about his religion, and we learn that he's never been taught any religion at all, even though he's been brought up by the parish and associated with the Church of England his whole life (check out the "Religion" section in "Themes").
- He'll start learning how to pick oakum the next morning at the workhouse. ("Picking oakum" involves picking the fibrous bits out of old rope for use in other things. We've never tried it ourselves, but we imagine it to be very, very dull work.)
- Oliver and the other young boys in the workhouse are close to starvation, because they're given only one ounce of watery gruel for each meal.
- The boys draw straws to decide who's going to ask for more to eat. Oliver gets the short end of that stick, and we get the famous scene of Oliver asking for more. This is also the first illustration by George Cruikshank. If you're using an edition that doesn't include the illustrations, we recommend looking them up online (check out the "images" links), or in another edition—they're part of what made the novel so famous.
- Apparently asking for more to eat is an unforgivable offense—the man in the white waistcoat is so shocked that he prophesies that Oliver "will be hung […] I know that boy will be hung" (2.72).

Apologies if this has been brought up today....but after catching up to all the excitement, OT's and yes, even fisticuffs and cheap shots from an already intriguing round of playoffs, I found myself with a couple hours of energy left and a light bulb went off.....wasn't it around this time 5 years ago that we last won a playoff game?
Sure enough I pulled out my dvd of our last playoff win and it was exactly 5 years ago!!!
As sad as that is I try to pull the positives of course and I watched the game and it was DP's finest moment as an Islander (yup...when you have TSN commentators like Maguire and Miller drooling over you for one night in this country it's a highlight too hehe) after not playing for 3 weeks due to his concussion and come back and play his best playoff game ever....
But of course you get to see other stuff like Yashin being benched down to 6 minutes of play by Nolan as well as other soft play....
But when you see the hard work of Sillinger and clan you would think that with a few different bounces on the Island the '07 playoffs could have been a bit different...
But anyway...I thought I'd share that with ya cause it is an anniversary of sorts...
P.S. Here are the only clips on youtube I can find.

PACIFIC, Mo. – A shop specializing in BMW repair and service and Ural sidecar sales is moving from Eureka to Pacific after winning the approval of Pacific's Planning and Zoning Commission.
Dave and Nicklette Clark plan to buy the former grocery store building in a strip mall and move their existing business, Forever Endeavor Cycles.
"Our customers are not a bunch of rabble rousers," Dave Clark told the East Missourian. "We keep things clean."
Planning commissioners voiced their pleasure that a new business wants to move into the vacant building.
"You guys are a great fit and I'm glad to see you there," commissioner Mike Bates said. "The Old Plaza will be getting some new life." The board voted unanimously to recommend approval. Aldermen will consider the measure at the next scheduled meeting.

Sporting a forsythia yellow robe, clean, rich flavors and concentrated fruit, the 1998 Santa Barbara Winery Chardonnay is a clear stand-out from a superior growing region. Working with a harvest that was nearly three weeks later than normal, winemaker Bruce McGuire's decision to pick each individual vineyard sight at optimum ripeness, even at the expense of his own time off, is clearly evident in this highly polished Chardonnay. Scents of acacia, butter, and vanilla melt into the clean, suave fruit of this delicious wine, then linger on the palate for nearly a minute after swallowing. This highly acclaimed Santa Barbara Chardonnay was 100% barrel fermented in French oak, lending elegance and breed to the pure fruit of this classically wrought wine, without overpowering it. From a technical as well as a hedonistic point of view, the 1998 Santa Barbara Winery Chardonnay is one heck of a Chardonnay, worthy of all the plaudits it has received.
The emphatic, bright fruit of the 1998 Santa Barbara Chardonnay makes it a versatile wine with food. It pairs quite nicely with poultry and fish prepared in a variety of styles. Pasta with a white sauce and risotto are also two of our favorite foods with this stylish Chardonnay. Yet, any well-prepared, lighter fare will be enhanced by this lovely wine. A mixed salad with grilled chicken or tuna, topped with avocado, is another winning combination with this Santa Barbara Chardonnay; it recalls many a splendid lunch we have had in Santa Barbara, dining alfresco in view of the gleaming Pacific.
Santa Barbara Winery: Hand Harvested, and Hand Crafted In 1962, Pierre Lafond established Santa Barbara Winery, the first commercial winery in Santa Barbara County since prohibition. Inspired by friends known as "Mountain Drivers", a community of home winemakers that were famous for their bacchanalian harvest festivals, Pierre purchased grapes to produce wine sold at his wine shop in the Old El Paso district of Santa Barbara. Over the next ten years, when the viticultural promise of Santa Barbara County became apparent, Pierre Lafond shrewdly purchased his own Santa Barbara vineyard in 1970. Yet, he continued to operate the winemaking operation in downtown Santa Barbara. By 1981, the potential of the Lafond Vineyard, and Santa Ynez Valley in general, had been well established. At the time, an able winemaker, Bruce McGuire was hired to assume the winemaking helm of the Santa Barbara Winery - a position he still holds today. Over the last fifteen years, McGuire has transformed the Santa Barbara Winery into one of the finest premium wine producers in California - most notably for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Lafond Vineyard As any visitor to Santa Barbara County can attest, there is no viticultural area more beautiful than the Santa Ynez Valley, home to Santa Barbara Winery's Lafond Vineyard. Here the faint morning light is obscured by heavy fog that settles in the vineyard. It protects the grapes from the first piercing rays of the sun and rarely lifts before mid morning, a magical moment when the sun illuminates the green hillsides with the purest of light. Later, the fog will roll in from the ocean and up the valley, effectively moderating the warm afternoon temperatures. All summer long the fog blows in and out of the lower Santa Ynez Valley, allowing the grapes to develop slowly and gently. The east-west orientation of the Santa Ynez and San Rafael mountain ranges form two valleys in Santa Barbara County that act as funnels for the cool air coming in from the Pacific. This unusual geographic feature doesn't occur anywhere else in North America. The resulting cool comate is the defining characteristic for the lower Santa Ynez Valley, where the Lafond Vineyard is located, just 18 miles from the coast. This proximity to the ocean ensures a temperate winter, allowing the grapes to develop over a longer period of time, resulting in rich balanced flavors in the grapes. Southerly latitude protects the vineyard from early winter storms that can threaten October and November harvests. Santa Barbara Winery's 30,000 case production highlights the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for which the Lafond Vineyard is particularly well suited. The winery is also well known for a number of other varietals that benefit from a long, cool growing season. The winery's Viticulturalist, Jeff Newton, uses canopy management techniques and careful clone selection to produce fruit that exhibits concentrated flavors and results in wines that are distinguished by their regional character. The Lafond Vineyard provides the soul for Santa Barbara Winery's outstanding Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Tough Task for Microsoft's New CEO: Win Over Wall Street
Investors have so far taken an "anything-is-better-than-Ballmer" approach to Microsoft Corp's stock price in recent months. But to justify the current valuation, at a 10% premium to Apple, newly minuted CEO Satya Nadella will have to show how Microsoft is a bet on where technology is heading, not where it has been, amid the post-PC world.
"Because [Microsoft] brought in an insider that has had such a long tenure with the company already, I think investors are going to be kind of impatient to hear what his plans are," WSJ's Dan Gallagher said Wednesday on the MoneyBeat show.
Had Microsoft brought in an outsider, investors might've been more willing to give that person additional time to learn on the job. But considering Mr. Nadella's resume, the pressure is on for him to deliver sooner than later.
Catch the rest of Dan's interview on MoneyBeat.
