text: Explore Fiordland Te Anau The Kepler Track Milford Road Milford Sound The Milford Track Manapouri and Lake Manapouri Doubtful Sound Dusky Sound The Southern Scenic Route Share The predations of today's influx of visitors and the operation of a small fishing fleet have necessitated strategies to preserve the fragile ecosystem. Like all fiords, Milford Sound has an entrance sill at its mouth, in this case only 70m below the surface – by comparison, the deepest point is almost 450m. This minimizes the water's natural recirculation and hinders the mixing of sea water and the vast quantities of fresh water that pour into the fiord, creating the strange phenomenon of deep water emergence. The less-dense tannin-stained fresh surface layer (generally 2–6m deep) builds up, further diminishing the penetration of light, which is already reduced by the all-day shadow cast by the fiord walls. The result is a relatively barren inter-tidal zone that protects a narrow – but wonderfully rich and extremely fragile – band of light-shy red and black corals; these normally grow only at much greater depths, but thrive here in the dark conditions. Unfortunately, Milford's fishing fleet use crayfish pots, which tend to shear off anything that grows on the fiord's walls. A marine reserve has been set up along the northeastern shore, where all such activity is prohibited, but really this is far too small and conservation groups are campaigning for its extension.

The Left Lobbies for a Liberal Pope
George Neumayr, Crisis Magazine
To the dictators of relativism and their allies in the chattering class, the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI is seen as an occasion for celebration and a chance to lobby the Church for a liberal successor. The mischief is already underway, as seen in such headlines as: "New Pope should not condemn contraception, says cardinal."
The Church's enemies, both within and without her walls, see an opportunity to capitalize on Benedict's resignation, and the media, as always, stands ready to help. The coverage so far of the resignation has been grotesquely biased. ABC News wins the prize for the most ludicrously unfair post-resignation story: "Pope Benedict Dogged By Hitler Youth Past, Despite Jewish Support."
TAGGED: Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI

- Living in a small house is surprisingly satisfying. I like the challenge it creates to be more intentional about using our space (especially with a baby!) and coming up with clever solutions to maximize our floor real estate.Our house was built in the 1940s. Not only do I love our antique doorknobs, 8" moulding, wood floors, and wood panel kitchen ceiling - I also love the foyer, which lets in loads of daylight, and the recently updated bathroom.

Borders Group (NYSE: BGP ) could use a dose of deus ex machina at this point in its tragedy. Alas, literary geeks know that trope requires an illogical turn of events to magically solve problems. Increasingly, it looks like even divine intervention couldn't save Borders from its ever-grimmer fate.
The latest blow to Borders? The resignation of CEO Ron Marshall. Known as a turnaround specialist, Marshall is moving on to another job at Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. (NYSE: GAP ) , perhaps best known for its A&P grocery chain. I guess a diehard Borders fan could try to spin that news positively, arguing that even for CEOs, sometimes a job just doesn't work out. But Marshall has headed Borders for just one measly year. If he's already looking for "greener" turnaround pastures, how much hope is left for the flailing bookseller?
Chief Merchandising Officer Michael Edwards will function as interim CEO until the company finds a replacement -- assuming this kind of management upheaval doesn't manage to scare off any eligible candidates.
At this point, could anyone turn Borders' ship around? The company has already been scuttled by its huge debt load, some four times the amount of its equity. And Borders hasn't earned an operating profit over the last four quarters, meaning it's had to go further into the hole.
Given the abysmal holiday sales numbers at Borders, it's not too hard to imagine why a CEO might want to move right along. Add up a tough consumer spending climate, the disruptive influence of e-books, and cutthroat competition from the likes of Barnes & Noble (NYSE: BKS ) , Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN ) , Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT ) , Target (NYSE: TGT ) , Costco (Nasdaq: COST ) , and mom-and-pop shops, and even mere survival seems like a big job for Borders.
Just a few days ago, Borders squashed rumors that it had stopped paying small publishers. Sadly, that rumor probably sounded all too plausible to people who have been following this retailer's downward spiral.
Even talented CEOs aren't miracle workers. And while Borders' turnaround is not absolutely impossible, betting on long shots is a bad way to invest. It's just too risky a stock, and it's not hard to believe that the bookseller is destined to fail in 2010.

Album Summary
- Stewart McIlwham (Piccolo)
- John Wallace (Trumpet)
Notes & Reviews:
A wide cross-section of Maxwell Davies's work is represented on this programme, part of the ongoing Naxos reissues of recordings fist released by Collins Classics. The two concertos are performed by their dedicatees.
MusicWeb International, 23rd April 2013
Conducting three excellent orchestras across an eight-year period, the Master of the Queen's Music makes sure his is done the right way for posterity.
Sunday Times, 10th February 2013
This latest Naxos release of Davies recordings from the defunct Collin Classics catalogue is rich in concertos. The one for piccolo (1996) is itself diminutive: three little movements that capture the instrument's spirit quite uncannily, particularly the pizzicato-haunted central adagio...Five Klee Pictures are among the most felicitous of Davies's works for children.
American Record Guide, July/August 2013
These recordings are all reissues from the Collins label. The pieces hold up very well. The complex textures of the music repay close attention, making the release particularly welcome. Collins's sonics were always very fine, and the performances are first-rate - this disc is a must-have, as are all the other Naxos Collins reissues of Davies.

David Doucet, guitarist for the enduring Lafayette-based Cajun band Beausoleil, suffered a massive heart attack earlier in the week, his brother and bandmate Michael Doucet confirmed Friday, June 28.
Doucet is "doing much better," Michael Doucet wrote in a text message. "He will miss some gigs in St. Louis and Chicago, but we're hoping he'll be able to continue this summer." Beausoleil is scheduled to perform in St. Louis on July 4, and at the FitzGerald's American Music Festival near Chicago on July 6, with several dates in England and Ireland following.
David Doucet is scheduled to have a stent implanted in the next week. As of Friday afternoon, he was answering get-well posts on his Facebook page, writing "I feel great now," in response to a friend wishing him a speedy recovery.
Beausoleil, formed in the late '70s, has earned two Grammy awards and been nominated for a third in the traditional folk and Cajun/zydeco categories. The group's latest album is "From Bamako to Carencro," released in February.

Dallas Baptist University enrolled 5,545 students this past fall, an increase of 2.6% over the previous record of 5,400, which was set in fall 2010. This new record marks the 22nd consecutive year in which student enrollment has grown.
Fall 2011 also saw a substantial increase in graduate enrollment to 1,863 students, an increase of over 500% since the fall of 1988. The University has added more than 18 graduate programs over the last 20 years, as well as two doctoral programs: the Ph.D. in Leadership Studies and the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership.
Of the 5,545 students, DBU welcomed over 700 incoming first year and transfer students to the 2011 SWAT (Student Welcome And Transition) Week. Activities throughout the week included information sessions, special receptions, and small group gatherings.
"When I first came here in the spring of 1988, I never dreamed we would have over 5,000 students," said DBU President Gary Cook. "God has truly blessed us beyond anything that we could ever imagine, and we are truly grateful."

Iraq's Chaldean Catholic Church Patriarch Louis Raphael Sako I explained that countries affected by the "Arab Spring" have not changed.
The disappearance of young Coptic girls in Egypt has been highlighted in several meetings with Western journalists by the Association of Victims of Abduction and Forced Disappearance (AVAFD).
Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the Constitution Party, explained that contempt of religion and insulting the president are charges found only in authoritarian regimes.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran has advocated on behalf of persecuted religious minorities in Iran and has called for the humane treatment of Christians in prison in light of deteriorating conditions in some of the country's most notorious..
Latin Patriarch Fouad Twal of Jerusalem said that the historical period referred to as the "Arab Spring" puts the Middle East in a "serious and bloody whirlpool."
Syriac Catholic Bishop Gregoire Melki said the current situation in Syria is very sad and has left people very anxious, and fears the same thing that happened to Christians in Iraq will happen to Christians in Syria.
Deputy Head of the Egyptian Democratic Social Party Emad Gad said that pressure from religious groups in the country is corrupting the judicial system in Egypt.
Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Louis Sako I denounced a recent series of car bombings and shootings in Iraq that left scores dead and many more injured.
Priest Ekram Lamei, Chairperson of the Evangelical Synod, criticized the decision issued by a Cairo court to exclude the secretary of the court from a hearing session because he is a Christian.
Rev. Refaat Fikri, head of the Media Center for the Evangelical Church in Egypt, said the problems facing Egyptian Christians have been going on since the 1970s and looks to continue as there is a lack of political will by the ruling regime to solve ..
Islamist terrorists in Nigeria are thought to have killed a prominent Christian leader in the northern reaches of the country after the country's president recently declared a state of emergency.
Coptic-owned businesses and pharmacies in Menbal village, Minya in northern Egypt were attacked by a mob, resulting in extensive damage and several injuries.
St. Mina's Church in Port Said was the site of a deadly police shootout with thieves, who had previously stolen a container containing an estimated two million Egyptian pounds.
Samir Sabri, a lawyer, filed a complaint to the Supreme State Security Prosecution against Ahmed Mamhoud Abdullah, also known as Abu Islam, because he threatened Christians in Egypt.
Ahmed Fawzi, Secretary-General for the Egyptian Social Democratic Party and a leading figure of the National Salvation Front (NSF), stated that the recent ministerial adjustments are merely a continuation of the Muslim Brotherhood's policies in Egypt..
The Revolution Youth Coalition condemned security individuals affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood after they imprisoned a number of journalists who were covering an event close to the Egypt's presidential palace on Monday.
Syrian Orthodox Archbishop George Saliba of Mount Lebanon and Tripoli said that kidnapping of clergy has become "normal" since the events began in Iraq.
Today, Egyptians celebrate the Spring Festival, or Shame el-Nessim, an ancient Egyptian festival in which Egyptians celebrated the New Year and the start of the spring season.
Dr. Mohamed Nabil Gamie, an intellectual and professor at Alexandria University, said the recent statements made by the Muslim Brotherhood's Mufti prohibiting the congratulations of Copts during their holiday reflect a lack of religious knowledge.
Mohamed Abu Samra, secretary-general of the Islamic Jihad Party, made the claim that "it is permissible to kill some Christians today," then gave his argument defending such a position.


text: I had a call from my little granddaughter, Ariel, earlier this week. She wanted to tell me that her new baby brother would be coming in a few days. At 5, she's quite thrilled that she will have this little fellow to cuddle and coo over. She and her brother, Eric, 3, are probably not aware of what this new little bundle will mean to their lives.

The report on how low Alabama rates in property taxes compared to other states is an excellent opportunity to look at the cost of the cheap property tax and the racism that gets the politicians elected who protect these rates at all costs.
The state government has been cut back so low with thousands of layoffs (including over 1,000 teachers despite Bentley's promises to the contrary) that many state functions such as public safety barely function. State agencies, including the Attorney General and even part of the prisons budget is zeroed out on the hope that the stat will get payments from some court actions.
Four years ago the governor and legislature cut teacher pay by 2.5% and increases in insurance have cut their pay even more. The legislature is going to further raise the mandatory cost insurance for teachers. The governor has revived a plan to move the teacher retirement fund into the same system that bankrupted the prepaid tuition program.
It is foolish for a company to consider locating in a state that will not deny its people such basics as jobs, education, public safety, prisons, justice etc. Look around you at the growing numbers of empty store fronts. Birmingham used to be a great banking center, now it is nothing as there is no one and nothing in this state to whom to loan money. A huge amount of the tax breaks given to fat cats is not to farmers but to in and out of state land speculators who produce few if any jobs.
All of the above takes money out of the pockets of working families that would start small businesses and put people to work, as would Bentley accepting the free expansion of Medicaid. Alabama has the most disproportionally unfair tax system on the middle class and the poor of any state. If we just had the tax system of Mississippi, we would have no revenue problems.

I call my inner voice Lizard Brain. It never wants me to succeed. It's always negative. It never wants me to have fun. It's always trying to talk me out of doing things that are good for me. For the past few years, when it tells me to do something like skipping my tai chi class or whatever, I say to myself, "Aw, it's just the Lizard Brain, don't listen to it." I also have positive mantras like "life rewards action" and "feeling healthy and looking good is way better than _____________." I don't always win, but most of the time I do!
Lizard Brain! I love it. I need to find a derogatory name for the negative voice I hear once in a while. Fortunately, it only tells me to eat bad things. I never listen to it, but it's irritating nonetheless. Maybe Inner Fatso or something. Otherwise, I also have a postive inner voice, which I just consider to be me. I don't want to own up to the negative one.

Barack Obama's arrogance shined in the final presidential debate, and Obama was far from presidential. He attacked Mitt Romney as if "The One" really is some sort of expert on military matters. Obama, at best, is an uninformed dunce on national security and military matters. Only his giant ego allows him to believe he's the smartest guy in the room except he hardly is especially one Mitt Romney is there. Obama demonstrated his ignorance in the following statement:
"You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines.
Number one, Marines and other combat troops do carry bayonets as well as knives. Obama only understands that you stick a knife in someone's back when you're using them for your own purposes.
The U.S. special operations teams that led the American invasion in Afghanistan a decade ago did something that no American military had done since the last century: ride horses into combat.
Obama can't win a debate on facts so he must attempt to mock, humiliate and patronize his opponent, it's all he has. The smartest guy on the debate stage is Mitt Romney and Obama is thoroughly intimidated and it shows.
"Truth is an obstacle for Liberals." ~ Rep. Allen West (R-FL)
Although the kinds of ships in the present day aren't the same as those ahead of World War I, there are specific laws of physics which have not altered. And one of these is the fact that, regardless of how much cyber capabilities or even space capabilities might exist, a ship can nevertheless be in one location during a single moment. Hence, whether it be battleships or perhaps aircraft carriers, whether it's nuclear-powered submarines or even biplanes, each and every process is only able to enter a single location during a period. Plus a shortfall of naval vessels, which currently exists, signifies that you will have occasions as well as locations in which there is going to be a lot fewer ships than U.S. Navy experts and officers consider applicable and essential.
The concept that superior cyber capacities may substitute for physical capability makes up a basic misconception of how military forces function. Certainly, this hasn't been aided with the dismissive perspective assumed by Barack Obama's first Secretary of Defense on how the U.S. had unnecessary quantities of aircraft carriers, as if the appropriate state of American security would be to have equality with would-be adversaries, as opposed to crystal clear superiority.
Obama thinks he is superior to everyone else but he couldn't carry water for Mitt Romney. The fact is, Mr. Romney is successful on his own merits and hard work. Osama bin Laden was captured and killed because of the military and intelligence apparatus in place that Obama inherited from the Bush administration. Obama didn't take the shot that got bin Laden, trained Navy Seals who risked their lives got Osama bin Laden.
Yes, horses and bayonets are still used by the US military and Obama remains, as ever, a horse's ass.

If you think a weekend festival dedicated to real ale -- cask-conditioned beer that is not artificially carbonated -- seems like a good idea, you're right.
If you think it sounds familiar, you're right, too.
J.Ryan's bar at 253 E. Water St., Syracuse, hosts its First Firkin Fest on Saturday and Sunday, with a special sneak preview on Friday.
A firkin is the English name given to a type of keg, or cask, that holds beer that is naturally carbonated. That's done by adding an extra dose of yeast to already fermented beer in the cask, allowing a second fermentation to take place and creating natural carbonation. (Typically, beer is carbonated and dispensed from a keg by adding carbon dioxide.)
The reason this sounds familiar? Clark's Ale House hosted a similar real-ale fest for several years before it closed last fall.
Since many of Clark's regulars have since moved on to J.Ryan's -- at least until Clark's reopens -- it makes sense for the fest to move there, too.
The J.Ryan's fest will be noon to close Saturday and Sunday, said manager Bob Carvotta. Casks of real ale from more than 20 breweries will be lined up along a wall. You buy tickets at the bar for 7-ounce tastes. The price will vary depending on the beer, but will likely be $2 or $3 per sample, Carvotta said.
Brewers contributing cask beers include local brewers like Middle Ages Brewing Co., Empire Brewing Co., Ithaca Beer Co. and Naked Dove Brewing Co. (from Canandaigua) along with national craft brands like Stone, Great Divide, Bear Republic, Troegs, Rogue, Lagunitas, Flying Dog and Brooklyn.
On Friday night, J.Ryan's will place a firkin from Ithaca Beer Co. on the bar, as a special kickoff to the fest.

Israeli soldier who killed UK journalist pardoned
Aljazeera |
April 14, 2005
An Israeli occupation soldier who murdered a British cameraman two years ago has been acquitted of the charge of manslaughter, the Israeli press reported Thursday.
An Israeli officer, identified only as Lt. H., opened fire at and killed James Miller, 34, in May 2003, on the Philadelphi Route that runs the length of the Gaza-Egypt border, while filming a TV documentary entitled "Death in Gaza", tackling the Palestinian children's sufferings under the Israeli occupation.
Hours after Miller's death, an Israeli commander claimed that troops in Rafah had opened fire after they were attacked by Palestinian fighters who were smuggling in arms from Egypt.
"Two of our armoured vehicles went in to uncover a smuggling tunnel ... and as darkness fell came under small arms fire. Two rocket propelled grenades were also fired at them. The men shot back at the attackers," Colonel Avi, then the acting commander of Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, told reporters.
But the footage in "Death in Gaza" shows no sign of a clash.
The Israeli soldier shot Miller at close range, although he was wearing a journalist insignia and waved a white flag, according to witnesses.
The Israeli army's judge advocate-general, Brig. General Avihai Mandelbit dropped on Thursday criminal charges against the Israeli officer due to "lack of evidence" that directly ties him to the death of Miller.
Instead, it has been decided to try the soldier in a "disciplinary hearing" on the lesser charges of "inappropriate use of weapons" for opening fire on civilians who posed no danger.
Few months ago, the IOF, Israeli occupation Forces, also pardoned an Israeli soldier who a 9-year-old Palestinian school girl, in Rafah, and then shot her 20 times.
The soldier, known as "Captain R," was instead charged with the "inappropriate use of army-issued weapon."
A spokesman for the British embassy in Tel Aviv said the British government would still pursue the matter with the Israeli government.
"We would like to see justice for James Miller," said Nil Wigand, a press attaché at the embassy.
The Israeli army declined to comment on the acquittals.
A spokesperson for the Israeli army claimed the investigation was "unprecedented in scope" and included ballistics checks, examinations of satellite imagery and polygraph tests of individuals involved.

Symphoria's masterworks concert March 9 at the John Mulroy auditorium of the Onondaga County Civic Center offered music filled with light to match the coming of spring to Central New York. With ebullient Sarah Hicks conducting, and with guitarists Eliot Fisk and Zaira Meneses performing ragtime and the music of sunny Spain, the audience might well have been inspired to dance—in spirit if not in body.
Hicks's vitality became evident as she led the musicians in the first minimalist notes of "The Chairman Dances," the 13-minute curtain riser by John Adams, who defines it as an out-take from his mid-'80s opera, "Nixon in China." Relentless in its early, percussive time keeping, the piece evolves into lush melodic lines, syncopation, and rich instrumental color before the Chairman's dance enters a lethargic period. Subsequently, intensifying strings lead into a jazzy fox trot, which Hicks and the musicians seem to fully relish before the dance wanes and, arms at her sides, Hicks allows the musicians to bring it to a quiet end.
Classical guitarists Fisk and Meneses put their personal touches—by way of cadenzas and flourishes—on Payton MacDonald's transcription of "Graceful Ghost Rag," by contemporary American composer William Bolcom. Widely renowned for their fire and technique, the two give cause for celebration whenever they return to perform in Fisk's hometown.
Fisk's emotional rendering of Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo's "Fantasia para un Gentilhombre," or "Fantasy for a Gentleman," a 1954 tribute to Andres Segovia, won him loud "bravos" and a two-minute standing ovation. In performing the concerto, Fisk mirrored his mentor and former teacher, Segovia, who was soloist for the 1958 premiere of the four-movement, dance-inspired composition. Themes revolve between soloist and orchestra, demanding artistry and communication, both of which were evident as Hicks and Fisk interacted with the Symphoria musicians.
The second movement highlights Symphoria's strings, and fanfares from the trumpet and flute sections, and the third is a lively bridge leading to the upbeat final movement, "Canario," in the form of a folk dance. A bird's trill sounds near the end, supposedly signifying the origin of the dance as the Canary Islands.
Responding to the audience's enthusiasm, Fisk returned to stage, where his calmly entrancing encore ("You've probably heard it in elevators") was preceded with a sincere pitch for local orchestral music. "The last time I was here, SSO was closing down. This time, Symphoria is opening up."
Hicks, having told the audience during intermission that Symphoria is comprised of "world class musicians," proved her claim by conducting a stirring interpretation of
Dvorak's Ninth Symphony, "For the New World." Living in the United States in the 1890s, the Czech master was commissioned to create a large work of uniquely American music for the New York Philharmonic. "For the New World" incorporates musical motifs from the African American, Native American, and folk traditions, and, in the third movement, quotes Dvorak's idol, Beethoven's ninth symphony.
The ominous opening of the introduction soon builds to include layered color as woodwinds and horns enter, followed by flutes and oboes repeating the opening theme before the music culminates with a stunning flute solo, wild percussion and full orchestra fortissimo.
The much- anticipated familiar melody of the second movement ("Goin' Home") grew in emotional weight as the clarion call was issued from the English horn, soon joined by the clarinet, then the bassoon. Echoes of Beethoven pervaded the third movement, and the fourth, allegro con fuoco, created layer upon layer of orchestral color, featuring a solo clarinet in a soaring melody before cycling familiar themes from the first movements through once more and finishing with a grand coda. The final notes drew the audience to its feet cheering and twice calling Hicks back to accept recognition. She acknowledged the performances of the soloists and motioned for the entire orchestra to stand and bow before, at length, patrons began to turn and fill the exit aisles.

LEMOYNE - A store manager has been charged with allegedly grabbing and attempting to kiss a 17-year-old female employee, West Shore Regional Police said.
The girl told officers that Vishnubhai Prahladbhai Patel, 41, assaulted her as she left work on Wednesday from the store on Market Street, police said.
Patal, who lives along the 600 block of Yale Street in Swatara Township, Dauphin County, allegedly asked the girl to go into a back room of the business where he attempted to kiss her and grabbed her, police said.
Patel has been charged with one count of indecent assault and is being held in the Cumberland County Prison after being unable to post $50,000 bail.

Lots of things have kept me busy during the last months of 2011, and fortunately many of these things have to do with music.
First, here's a new piece, with a nature-themed video by Sabine van Gameren. In addition of samples, some humane parts were recorded to enhance the sound. Many thanks to:
Panu Ali-Rantala & Sirke Nieminen – voice
Samuli Peltoniemi – trumpet
Eero Koski – trombone
Second, in summer I had an idea to organize a gig playing classic video game music in game developers gathering (IGDA Finnish chapter), and this Tuesday this became finally true. I managed to gather a group of talented musicians to play with me. Thanks Juke (drums), Anu (keys), Olli (violin), and others who helped to make this possible.
Here is a video clip of us performing Trine theme by the great game composer Ari Pulkkinen (present in the audience, of course! )
Third, I recently got into a position in my dayjob where I can also contribute to music and sound design in the virtual world for children we're creating. So, future versions of Petra's Planet will have some of my audio there as well!
With everything going on, I just recently noticed that Christmastime is here very very soon, so merry Xmas/Holidays/etc, and great new year for everyone!


text: Have recently gotten into reloading, finally (really, what took me so long?) and am awaiting a single stage press kit ordered online, but in the meantime I have a question. I found a video online of a person whom used 9x19 brass simply trimmed down to be used as pseudo-9x18 Makarov (marked as such, for safety) and I thought, well what a great idea. Should have been obvious, but since they're the same dimensions only 9x18 is shorter, it makes plenty of sense. I imagine the same could be done for .380 ACP. My question is: since die length is adjustable within a press, could one buy 9x19 dies and adjust the lengths to properly flare/seat/fit 9x18 Makarov or .380 ACP in appropriate cases with appropriate bullets?

Sunshine List Grey Bruce
Friday, April 1, 2011 4:41 PM by
Medical Officer of Health the top earner in Grey Bruce but the local earners list is long.
(Grey Bruce) -
The Ontario government's sunshine list is out for 2010, showing how many government workers were paid over 100 thousand dollars last year.
The total is 71,500 public sector workers on the sunshine list, up nearly 74 hundred workers from last year.
Canada's new governor general, David Johnston, was the second highest paid public sector worker in Ontario last year.
He was one of only two people paid over one million dollars at his former job as president and vice-chancellor of the University of Waterloo.
The energy sector usually has the highest earners on the sunshine list, and Ontario Power Generation reports 7,786 of its 12,500 workers made the sunshine list for 2010.
The rest of the sunshine list includes Crown agencies, hospitals, municipalities, schools, colleges and universities and government-owned energy companies.
In Grey Bruce -- the top earner was Medical Officer of Health Doctor Hazel Lynn at more than 290 thousand dollars, up from 268 thousand in 2009.
Judges Julia Morneau and Robert Mackenzie were second at about 250 thousand.
At Grey Bruce Health Services -- there are 32 people on the list.
President and CEO Maureen Solecki earned 253 thousand, up 10 thousand dollars.
Hanover and District Hospital also has eight people including President and CEO Katrina wilson at 162 thousand dollars.

FRANKENMUTH, MI — A Frankenmuth seventh-grader earned the top award in mid-Michigan in the Detroit Tigers' Stand Tall Against Bullying essay contest.
The program, sponsored by Subway, encouraged students to make a video, create a poster or write an essay demonstrating their ability to take a stance against bullying. There were four divisions statewide.
Avery Amy won the grand prize for the mid-Michigan division. She earned a $500 Subway gift card and a $1,000 education grant for Rittmueller Middle School.
Eighth-grade student Veronica Hindelang was the runner-up for her essay and earned a $50 Subway gift card and signed Tigers memorabilia.
Kristen Hecht, Rittmueller Middle School principal, said the school is considering funding an anti-bullying guest speaker or books to support the school's continuing instruction against bullying.

Island County's election filing ends, special period set
Only the South Whidbey School District on Whidbey Island will be holding a primary election in August, while the many other local offices open will wait for November to appear on the ballot.
Some positions attracted no interest, necessitating a special filing period next month.
Here are the final filings made during the regular filing period with the Island County Auditor's Office.
Port of South Whidbey Commissioner: Curt Gordon and Ed Jenkins filed for position 3.
In the City of Langley, all candidates are guaranteed a job barring a write-in campaign in November. Fred McCarty filed for mayor; Rene Neff filed for position 1; Margot James filed for position 2; and Thomas Gill filed for position 5.
South Whidbey School District: Fred O'Neal filed for position 2; Miriam Coates, Betty Bond and Rocco Gianni filed for position 5, necessitating a primary election on Aug. 6.
South Whidbey Fire/EMS: Kenon Simmons filed for position 2.
South Whidbey Parks and Recreation: Mark Helpenstell filed for position 2; Captn Blynd and Bob Hezel, Jr., filed for position 3; Matt Simms filed for position 5.
Clinton Water District: Roy Simmons filed for position 1.
Holmes Harbor Water District: Tom White filed for position 3; Jens Rivera filed for position 4.
Freeland Water and Sewer District: Marilyn Abrahamson filed for position 1.
Lagoon Point Water District: Robert VonDrachek and Ken Peterson filed for position 2; Robert Rogers and Bob Vierra filed for position 4.
Saratoga Water District: Clancy Overturf filed for position 3.
Scatchet Head Water District: E.C. "Duffy" Schoeler and David White filed for position 2.
Main Street Sewer (Freeland): Ken Fisk filed for position 1; Mary Margaret Stern filed for position 2; C. Mark Brown filed for position 3.
The conclusion of filing week May 17 saw nobody filing for candidacy for 14 offices throughout Whidbey Island.
Because of those empty seats, the Island County Auditor's Office is opening a special filing period for three days. The special filing period goes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, June 3 through Wednesday, June 5.
Of the 14 offices that lack candidate, one is the Coupeville School Board Position 2 seat that is apparently being vacated by Jeff Tasoff. He didn't file for re-election last week.
Another vacancy is the Position 4 seat on the Whidbey General Hospital Board that is being vacated by Roger Case, who announced he will resign from his seat effective June 15.
The remaining dozen empty seats are on the various water district boards located throughout Island County.
Michele Reagan, deputy for the Island County Auditor's Office, said people can only file for the 14 vacant positions and not the other seats that are up for election in 2013.
While the auditor's office offered an online option during the regular filing period, people interested in the vacant seats will have to file in person at the elections office located on North Main Street, Coupeville.
If nobody files for the empty seats by the end of the special filing period, then they won't appear on the November ballot. Nobody would be able to write in a candidate's name for those empty seats either, Reagan said. It would then be up to the elected board to appoint a replacement, who would then serve until the next general election.

I can't say I grew up rooting for them--my brother did. I rooted for the team that played at Ebbets Field; indeed, there are times I can't help thinking those guys prepared me to root for the Mets. Anyhow, that's irrelevant at this moment.
Growing up in a blue-collar, necessarily frugal household in the 1950's, in Woodbridge, the son of a General Motors assembly line worker who brought home "GM Water" and told us it would cure any ailment that could possibly afflict us, I learned never to pass up free tickets to any professional sporting event. Even to one that took me to the team that regularly pounded my Dodgers in October--with the lone exception of the previous autumn.
In the middle of the broiling summer in the presidential election year of 1956, two thin wafers of manna fell from heaven and into the laps of my brother and my nine-year-old self, courtesy of the two Varey families that lived on the next block.
Olga Varey, mother of my buddy Joe, worked as a secretary for a Fortune 500 Company that had four season box-seat tickets at Yankee Stadium. How it happened that no one from the company was using the tickets that day--and how she got hold of them--I'll never know. What I do know is that Joe and his cousin Jim called the night before and invited my brother and me to attend the next day's Yankee game.
Asking my father for the price of the bus ticket and subway token from Middlesex County to the Bronx on a couple of hours notice was out of the question. So for the better part of the night my brother and I combed the house trying to come up with the "carfare" (a quaint term, I always thought, especially since no cars were involved.). Rugs, sofas, chairs, dressers--you name it, we looked under, around and in it--and found just enough to get us there and back.
I mean that literally. We got to the Stadium about two hours before the game, regrettably stiffed the attendant who took us to our seats, and, in what could have been the best seats in the park, sat through batting practice, the game, and whatever post-game interview type show they had. We ate nothing, drank nothing, bought no pennant, no Yankee yearbook, no Bombers cap--nothing, nada, nani mo.
I can't recall if the home team won--they probably did. They almost always did. But I do remember coming home with seven cents in my pocket; my brother, always the frugal one, had, I think, a dime. But, as Isaac Bashevis Singer has written, we were millionaires in emotions.
And so tonight I stand at the end of a very long line of memory-holders who say thanks for that team, that game fifty-two years ago, and, of course, that ballpark. As you can see, I have spent little of my emotional millions of dollars.
And if I could return to the Stadium, for that game and with those same guys, I would do so in a New York (Yankee) Minute.

With the fall semester nearly over, college students everywhere are looking for ways to finance the second half of the year. Many will look to their financial aid packages, and it is sure that those receiving aid are also looking forward to their overage checks. Any money not used of their financial aid is sent out in the form of checks or deposited directly into students' bank accounts. They can then use the money for anything they desire. The problem, though, is that there is a group of students being ignored when financial aid is being awarded.
The students who have been academically successful but have parents that are both still together and make a comfortable income are overlooked by the government. There are hundreds of students who have worked countless hours to do well in high school or college and could use the money, but simply won't qualify for it. Meanwhile, although some students are truly deserving of the aid, money is being awarded in the form of grants to students who slacked off in high school, breeze through the academic world, and choose not to work because they will be receiving a check. The financial aid system is being taken advantage of, in my opinion. I have heard the following phrase countless time this semester: "I'm only taking a few classes so I can get my overage check."
In the most respectful way possible, I take offense to this statement. The reason is simple: I would appreciate a grant to help pay for my education, and I can't even get that. Coming from a family of seven, I truly know the value of a dollar. The expenses are endless, and although my parents are still married and produce a comfortable income, they use almost every cent of their income to support the family and two college students. This is true about many middle class families who make an income above the need requirement, yet still struggle to make ends meet. The cost of living is increasing every year.
Secondly, I succeeded in high school with a 3.9 GPA and was an active member of many groups. I was simply ignored by the government system when applying for my FAFSFA, and was told I did not qualify even though I was one of two college students in my family. While my fellow students are receiving overage checks for hundreds of dollars, I must work for every cent that flows into my bank account.
This may sound like an angry tirade, but it is truly a statement of governmental unjust. I speak for all of the middle class students who do not live with divorced or impoverished parents, but are not wealthy enough not to need any aid. The system for granting financial aid rewards must be analyzed and reconstructed.
Before being granted financial aid, the government should consider more factors on a personal basis: high school or current grades, community involvement, current employment, and number of students in college per family.
By reforming this system, we could award more grants and aid to students who are truly deserving of the money, will use it towards educational purposes, and will appreciate the true value of their free government dollar.

Paging Through: Mysteries
My parents are snowbirds (when the snow flies, so do they) so they often read this column after it has run. They've recently returned to their Brookfield nest, and my mom wasted no time influencing this month's recommendations. After finishing Susan Elia MacNeal's "His Majesty's Hope" (Bantam, $15), the third in an engrossing WWII series, my mom said, "You need to recommend this and the author needs to write faster."
Maggie Hope, the series hero, has dreamed of becoming a spy ever since she was a "typist to Prime Minister Winston Churchill" and then a "maths tutor to the Princess Elizabeth" at Windsor. As the Nazis tighten their grip across Europe, Maggie gets her chance. Thanks to her secret training (including lessons from a "Glaswegian safecracker"), her keen intelligence with codes, and her "big stones" (as the Brits say), Maggie is recruited to an elite group of spies to infiltrate the offices of the Nazi hierarchy. »Read Full Article

Wisconsin country hopeful doesn't win prize, but relishes experience
Zac Matthews, the 18-year-old country star hopeful from Milton, did not win the $100,000 grand prize at the Texaco Country Showdown finals on Thursday.
But what Matthews did receive was priceless. As the Midwest Regional Champion for the 32-year-old country music talent competition, Matthews (birth name Zach Molitor) was one of only five finalists, out of more than 50,000 contestants, who made it to Thursday's finals. He got to perform in front of a sold-out crowd at the famed Ryman Auditorium, with Country Music Hall of Famer Charlie McCoy in his band, at an event hosted by Showdown alum and Grammy winner LeAnn Rimes. »Read Full Article

BARAGA - The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Tribal Council has asked Treasurer Eddy Edwards to seek an up-to-date asking price for the Baraga Lakeside Inn, and to begin working with builders towards determining a cost for renovations, as part of a plan he's championing to relocate the Tribe's aging Ojibwa Casino to the Baraga waterfront.
Edwards brought a digital rendering of a possible casino on that property to the KBIC's council meeting Saturday, along with a preliminary site plan that included a marina and parking for more than 400 vehicles. He also had a list of reasons for relocating to the waterfront that included a projected $17 million increase in casino profits in the first five years of operations.
"That's twice what we'd see by renovating the existing Baraga casino," Edwards told the council. "The site studies all show that it's buildable, and we can do any amount of parking we want - we just have to build up."

KBIC Treasurer Eddy Edwards speaks to the tribal council about his plan for a new tribal casino on the site of the Lakeside Inn in Baraga. Seated, from left, are council members Warren "Chris" Swartz Jr., council president Donald Shalifoe Sr., and Gary Loonsfoot Sr.
But a second measure passed the council as well, asking for a fresh study of three previously-defined casino relocation options that had first been examined in 2010, showing that many counselors still aren't fully behind the waterfront option.
"We looked at it before and it wasn't going to work," council member Jennifer Misegan said of the Lakefront Inn plan. "Before doing something like this we need a feasibility study."
The KBIC had decided to build a new casino on the former Marquette County Airport, off the tribe's reservation, but Gov. Rick Snyder nixed that idea last year.
Option one is trying again for a Marquette area location, and seeking a situation and agreement that would change the Governor's mind.
The second option is the waterfront plan, and the third is to renovate the current Baraga casino.
Edwards said that while a large Marquette site might be ideal, he didn't think Snyder was likely to change his mind.
"We can sit and wait for the next governor or we can try again," Edwards said, adding that "we can do more studies, waiting and waiting and waiting, or we can just do this."
The current casino, he added, is showing its age and reaching the end of its useful life. As an example, he pointed out a water main break last week that required a small portion of the casino to be shut down while the line was repaired.
The Lakeside Inn, he added, was "for sale at a potentially fair price," while the Tribe is currently in good fiscal shape.
"We have the financial ability to relocate," he said.
Edwards' plan also includes using currently-owned tribal property adjacent to the Lakeside Inn, which currently houses the Tribe's radio station and tribal planning office, as part of the casino complex.
Council member and former council President Warren "Chris" Swartz Jr. said he needed to know more about the potential financial liabilities of the waterfront proposal. He said it was important the tribe didn't spend money it now uses to provide services to members, such as payments for seniors and the disabled, on a project that wasn't going to pay off.
"I think it's important to look at the costs, and how we're going to get our money back," he said.

The scoring line was expected.
The dominance was expected.
But the pre-game headline was not.
Following the doping scandal that rocked the Mexican national team on Thursday afternoon, Mexico soundly defeated Cuba 5-0 and moved into sole possession of first place in Group A after their second Gold Cup match in Charlotte, N.C.
After initial reports surfaced that the Mexican football federation (Femexfut) suspended five players for testing positive for the banned substance clenbuterol, Mexican manager, Jose Manuel 'Chepo' de la Torre, opted for an offensive 4-1-4-1 set with Rafael Marquez (New York Red Bulls) and Antonio Talavera (Toluca) starting for the suspended PSV Eindhoven defender Francisco 'Maza' Rodriguez and popular goalkeeper Guillermo 'Memo' Ochoa (America) respectively.
Led by outstanding performances from Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez and Giovani Dos Santos, Mexico overcame a slow start and were virtually too much for the Cuban side. El Tri eventually broke through with sophisticated play across the pitch and put the game out of reach with a three-goal flurry sixty minutes into the match.
Impressive Form
Before the scintillating doping news hit the media scene, the pressure was on Mexico to defeat their first two opponents in El Salvador and Cuba. After Thursday night, El Tri finished its first two games with six points and a ten-goal differential cushion.
The Mexican attack up-front has been impressive to say the least. 'Chicharito' continued to show his world-class form and scored two more goals against Cuba to increase his scoring tally to five at the Gold Cup. Similarly, Dos Santos has been a terrific playmaker for El Tri at the moment and continues to be the true "10" in 'Chepo' de la Torre's offensive game plan.
Likewise, the Mexican defense and midfield have remained solid through the first two encounters. In consecutive games, the Mexican back line has not cracked under offensive attacks from opposing teams. Equally as impressive, Mexico's midfield has played in rhythm and have done well to recover and retain possession of the ball.
Looking Ahead
Until the investigation is complete, Mexico will be left with just 17 players for the duration of the Gold Cup tournament. In addition to Ochoa and Rodriguez, the Mexican federation also suspended defender Edgar Duenas (Toluca) and midfielders Christian 'Hobbit' Bermudez (Atlante) and Antonio Naelson Sinha (Toluca).
Hector Gonzalez Inarritu, Femexfut's national teams director, mentioned late Thursday night that the suspended players will travel to Los Angeles to be tested again for the banned substance in a certified laboratory at UCLA. Ideally for Mexico, the secondary tests will be used to complete the investigation process and clear the players of any wrongdoing. The effect that these suspensions and test results will have on the Mexican national team will remain to be seen.
What we do know however is that Mexico will need to focus their attention to the talented Costa Rican team on Sunday. Led by former Mexican national team coach, Ricardo Antonio La Volpe, Costa Rica will look to secure a spot for the second round and battle Mexico for the first overall spot in Group A.
Ticos Steal Late Draw Against El Salvador
In the other Group A game, Costa Rica captured an exciting stoppage time equalizer to salvage a point against El Salvador.
El Salvador's forward, Rodolfo Zelaya, scored a spectacular 30-yard free kick that initially gave El Salvador a 1-0 lead heading into halftime. El Salvador's suffocating defense and constant ball pressure frustrated the favorite Costa Rican side; so much so that Costa Rica was compelled to use star forward Bryan Ruiz in the second half.
Finally, much to the chagrin of the Salvadoran supporters, Costa Rica entered the scoring sheet when substitute midfielder Randal Brenes shot went past Salvadoran goalkeeper Miguel Montes in the 90th minute
Costa Rica was extremely fortunate to escape with a draw against the Cuscatlecos. Los Ticos did not show the same dominance that they did versus Cuba. Surely, La Volpe will try to correct the mistakes his Costa Rican side made against El Salvador in preparation for the much-anticipated match against Mexico on Sunday in Chicago's Soldier Field.

"Built in 1886, this handsome villa has been run as a B&B since 1937 though the charming young family that now owns and manages it took over in 2003. It's out of the centre in a peaceful residential district that is well-served by trains and trams. A ten-minute walk brings you to the delightfully Teutonic Schloss Nymphenburg, surrounded by a glorious park and well worth a visit. The villa's 23 fresh, white-painted rooms are simply but attractively done out with wooden furniture and brass bedsteads, each one slightly different from the next. All are well equipped and terrifically good value, and though some are quite small, there are three large rooms perfect for families. Hosts Alexandra and Sebastian Rösch are unfailingly caring and kind, and provide a number of thoughtful extras including drinks in the lobby. Car parking is available."
Written by Leonie Glass
"The villa was built in 1886 and is one of the traditional heritage buildings in the Nymphenburg district. In 1937, the villa was adapted for hotel rooms.
The hotel "Laimer Hof" is situated in the heart of Nymphenburg district, nearby the Nymphenburg Castle with its beautiful park and historic sites. Within a short walking distance you visit also the Hirschgarten - Europe's biggest beer garden in Munich. Because of this exclusive location soon the "Laimer Hof" turned into a popular place for visitors all over the world.
In May 2003 the young 'hotel family' Alexandra and Sebastian Rösch took over the neo renaissance villa which is under monumental protection. After substantial renovations and modernisations a fresh feel dominates the villa."

After last year's disastrous Philadelphia Eagles season wrapped up, it was clear Andy Reid's long tenure with the team was going to end.
But along with Reid, most people had quarterback Michael Vick on his way out of Philadelphia.
Vick, who finished last season with 12 passing touchdowns and 15 turnovers in 10 games, was given a reprieve when the Eagles hired Chip Kelly, who is known for his innovative, up-tempo and aggressive offense. Vick might be able to find some success in Kelly's offense unlike how he struggled the past two seasons under Reid. If any other coach was brought in, and the team went with a more traditional NFL offense, I doubt Vick would still be on the roster, let alone the starting quarterback.
Now, Reid finds himself in Kansas City, coaching a Chiefs team that went 2-14 last year. Not a very promising job you might say. Well, you could be right but the quarterback situation doesn't look too shabby. In fact, Reid's starting quarterback Alex Smith just might have the edge over Vick.
Smith threw for 13 touchdowns and had six turnovers last season with the San Francisco 49ers before an injury put him out and allowed Colin Kaepernick to take over the starting spot as the team went all the way to the Super Bowl. The year before, Smith passed for more than 3,000 yards with 17 touchdowns and turned over the ball seven times as he led the 49ers to the NFC championship game.
Although the former No. 1 overall pick struggled early in his career, he seemed to find himself over the last few seasons in San Francisco. Can an experienced coach in Reid help Smith grow even more? Can Reid provide Smith with some of the same guidance he used on Donovan McNabb during their very successful run in Philadelphia? I guess time will only tell.
But as far as what he left at the quarterback spot in Philadelphia, it looks like Reid is in a better situation in Kansas City. Vick is 33; Smith is 29. Vick has 30 passing touchdowns and 33 turnovers in the last two seasons; Smith has thrown for 30 touchdowns and turned over the ball just 13 times the past two years. Vick last won a playoff game in 2005; Smith won one in 2012.
Vick was once a top-tier quarterback but seems to be on the downside of his career. Unless Chip Kelly can do some real magic, make Vick cut back on his turnovers and find a way to rejuvenate his career, Reid has the edge with his new quarterback.

World Book Night offers free books
WARREN Local volunteers will be helping to get free books into the hands of area residents as part of the upcoming World Book Day planned for April 23.
The nationwide effort is to get free books handed out across the nation.
Jean Bolinger of Cortland, a retired book store owner, said she will be among the volunteers helping with the local effort.
"It is an ambitious campaign to encourage reading. There are 25,000 volunteers who will give specially printed books to those who may not have the means or access to obtain them on their own," she said.
Bolinger said book volunteers are scheduled to meet from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at a reception at the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library.
She said each volunteer is scheduled to give away 20 books on World Book Night.
"This will give everyone a chance to meet one another and share plans," Bolinger said.
She said volunteers can stop at the library anytime today through April 23 for materials and other items.
An independent panel of booksellers and librarians selects the titles for the spring giveaway which is celebrated on Shakespeare's birthday, April 23. The authors waive their royalties and the publishers agree to print special not-for-sale editions of the books.
Volunteers who are selected get to choose which of the titles they will give away and local libraries receive the mass quantities of books for the volunteers in their area.
The list of books available for distribution is the most diverse in the three-year history of WBN – 35 titles representing many genres and age-group interests. Each volunteer receives 20 copies of the book he or she selects.
"As a longtime lover of books I became a volunteer. The book I chose to give away is one I reviewed a couple of years ago, "The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" by Jamie Ford. I will be giving my books to the women who live at Beatitude House in Warren, hoping to excite them about a lovely book that would make a great subject for a discussion group," Bolinger said.
