Burke moves up with strong outing in Italy
Tim Burke of Paul Smiths turned in an outstanding performance Saturday in the 12.5-kilometer World Cup biathlon pursuit race in Antholz-Anterselva, Italy.
Burke started in the 45th position, but catapulted to 14th after turning in the third-best net time of the day. Burke got through the first two shooting stations unscathed then had one miss at each of the last two. He finished with a time of 32 minutes, 47.6 seconds.
"After a disappointing performance (Friday), I am very happy with the race today," Burke said. "I finally felt like I had the ski speed that has been missing for much of the season, and I was also in more control on the shooting range today.
"Biathlon is a crazy sport and you can have big swings from one day to the next, but that is also what makes it so fun. I hope this is a good sign with World Championships only a few weeks away."
Lowell Bailey of Lake Placid started seventh on Saturday and fell back to finish 16th with a time of 32:50.9 with three misses. Bailey held on among the top 10 throughout the first half of the race, reaching as high as fourth at one point, but penalties later in the race slowed him down.
Anton Shipulin of Russia won the pursuit with a dominating performance that resulted in a 31:24.2 time at the finish. Jakov Fak of Slovenia was second in 31:46.8 and Daniel Mesotitsch of Austria was third in 31:50.
Burke is now 14th in the overall World Cup standings and Bailey is 27th.
On the women's side, Annelies Cook of Saranac Lake placed 37th in the 10k pursuit with a time of 35:40.5 and seven misses at the range.
World Cup points leader Tora Berger of Norway won the pursuit with a time of 31:21.8 and two misses, Olena Pidhrushna of Ukraine was second in 31:40.7 and Kaisa Makarainen of Finland was third in 31:47.3.
Cook was the top American finisher, followed by teammate Sara Studebaker in 39th and Susan Dunklee of Barton, Vt. in 44th.
Sunday relays
Cook returned to the course Sunday for the 4x6k relay event. She was joined by Dunklee, Studebaker and Hannah Dreissigacker to post a 10th place finish in 1:17:45.2. Germany won the event in 1:13:02.
Bailey and Burke teamed up with Russell Currier and Leif Nordgren to finish 12th in the men's 4×7.5k relay. The U.S. team finished in 1:16:47.3. France won the event in 1:13:26, followed by Russia (1:13:36) and Austria (1:14:44.5).
"The race was up and down," Bailey said."I felt good on the skis and the race was going well until standing when I missed three with my clip. You never want to give yourself three shots to hit the last three targets but that was the case today. I was able to hit all of the remaining targets and get out on the course within contact with the leaders. I was happy with the last lap and felt strong through the finish."
Burke, Bailey and Cook were all named to the U.S. World Championships team. The event begins in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic on Feb. 7.

Mad Life
Recently, we asked: "How far is too far to go when it comes to flirting with someone other than your spouse?" Some agreed that there is a fine line between innocent flirtation and a dangerous rendezvous. Hear what Andrew, Joanie and Chuck from the Mad Life have to say and then tell us, is there such a thing as "healthy flirtation?"
by mothervixenDecember 5, 2012 at 5:05 PMWhen it goes beyond flirting to intimate physical contact. That form is even more worse if you're married, engaged, in a serious relationship or just dating.

I really don't think fliriting is ok if you're in a committed relationship. If it makes your partner uncomfortable that should be your guide as to whats not ok.
by SlapItHighDecember 5, 2012 at 7:18 PM
I don't think flirting is ever good for a married person to do with anyone other than their spouse.
by bwsmommyDecember 5, 2012 at 10:48 PM
I think its a bad idea to flirt with anyone other than your spouse , or so ..but thats just me ..
by GwenMBDecember 6, 2012 at 10:32 AM
I've never been one to flirt, so definitely don't flirt with other men now that I'm married.
I think my DH would be upset if he saw me flirting with someone. He's not controlling or jealous, he trusts me completely. I think he would just view it as inappropriate - and he'd think it inappropriate for any married person to flirt with someone they aren't married to.
I have to also say that I wouldn't be happy to see my DH flirting with someone else, either. I also trust him, but I want any of that type of behavior directed to me, not someone else.
by elwalters77December 6, 2012 at 10:38 AMYou know, I was a big flirt until I got married. I guess it subsided naturally. Makes sense.

U.S. Men's Junior National Team Captures Bronze Medal

E-Mail: email@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 5, 2008) – The U.S. Men's Junior National Team defeated Mexico on Saturday, 25-14, 25-23, 25-19, to win the bronze medal at the 2008 NORCECA Continental Men's Junior Championship in San Salvador, El Salvador.
Cuba defeated Canada in the gold-medal match, 25-18, 20-25, 25-21, 29-27. It was not clear immediately following the match whether two teams or three from the NORCECA championship would qualify for the 2009 FIVB Men's Junior World Championship.
U.S. libero Erik Shoji (Honolulu, Hawai'i) won awards for being the tournament's Best Defender, Best Receiver and Best Libero.
On Saturday, the U.S. Junior Men were led by Austin Ellis (Corona del Mar, Calif.) who had 12 points on a match-high 10 kills and a match-high two blocks, and Murphy Troy (St. Louis, Mo.) who had 11 points on eight kills, one block and a match-high two aces.
"This is a good win against a talented Mexican team," said U.S. Head Coach Shawn Patchell. "The guys got better throughout the week and I was especially pleased with our captain, Murphy Troy and Tri Bourne for the tournament. Joe Sunder came off the bench along with the play of Erik Shoji gave us momentum to pull out the bronze medal."
Other U.S. scorers on Saturday were Tyler Jaynes (Granite Bay, Calif.) with nine points on nine kills; Joe Sunder (Greensburg, Pa.), who scored six points; Tri Bourne (Honolulu, Hawai'i) and Kyle Caldwell (Newport Beach, Calif.) who each had five points and Joe Kauliakamoa, Jr., who scored one point. Shoji was credited with 12 "excellent" digs and 13 "excellent" service receptions.
Patchell started Bourne and Troy at outside hitter, Jaynes and Ellis at middle blocker, Caldwell at opposite and Kauliakamoa at setter. Shoji played opposite. Patchell did not waiver from his starting lineup in any of the three sets, but Sunder and Brian Muesenfechter (Florissant, Mo) played as substitutes.
The U.S. Junior Men converted almost 50 percent of their attack attempts into points while Mexico only converted 41percent. Mexico struggled with 26 team errors as opposed to 14 for the United States.

Items Sought For Easter Care Packages For Troops
To the Readers' Forum:
We, from the Lake Erie New York Chapter 4 of the Blue Star Mothers, would again like to thank the greater Jamestown community for the support shown during our Christmas Care Package Project. The 435 boxes, including many that were sent to Afghanistan, arrived on time for Christmas and were immensely appreciated by our military. We have received many thank you notes and each note has expressed how much the boxes meant to them and how much their spirits were lifted by receiving them, often asking us to relay this thanks to you, the Jamestown community.
We are currently collecting for our annual Easter Care Package Project. Again, we are asking our wonderful community for support in the form of donations of items to fill these boxes or money to cover postage. Please check your area legions, churches and businesses for a Blue Star mother box to drop your items into. If you can't find a collection box and would like to donate, please contact us at email@example.com.
We are also looking for cards and letters from our community to add to these boxes. If your scout troop, Sunday school group, classroom or other group would like to make cards or write letters thanking our men and women who are serving and wish them a Happy Easter, please contact us at the above email. We will make arrangements to collect them and include them in our boxes.
We will be packing and mailing the Easter care packages at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 2 in the Zion Lutheran Church, 45 Falconer St., Frewsburg. You may also drop your donations at the church from 9 to 11 a.m. that day.
If you have the address of a deployed military member that you would like us to add to our list, please email it to the address above. Any support for postage costs can be sent to: Blue Star Mothers NY 4, P.O. Box 162, Westfield, NY 14787.
Thank you all again for your part in supporting our men and women who serve.
God bless our troops and God bless America!

Boss Lady Photoshoot
Thanks for all your early bday wishes...I had a great weekend. My fabulous best friends did a whole weekend long celebration...including a yummy cake with my makeup by ren ren logo on it! I'll post pics soon. Tomorrow on my (and Alien Man's!) actual b-day, I think my boyfriend is taking me somewhere...I can't wait!
In the meantime, I'm back at work. Dang, should of taking tomorrow off for the bday but I get stingy with my vacation time! Anywho, back to makeup...
So a few weekends ago I was able to do a photoshoot for Amy...she's a publicist and internet radio host here in Atlanta, and she's Filipino!
She found me after googling and reading the article published about me on www.associatedcontent.com. I'm sure many of you can relate, but when you find someone who's from your same background, you kind of jump on the opportunity to work witht them. There aren't a lot of Filipinos here in Atlanta, so we gotta stick together!
She wanted to do a professional type shoot to build her porfolio...where she would have headshots with power poses as well as a few casual pics. Amy is not used to wearing any makeup except some basics like eyeliner and lipstick. She definitely looks good for her age...don't worry Amy, I won't spill the beans! I started off the makeup with some serious brow grooming. We allotted an extra 30 minutes for me to pluck and trim her brows and shape them as well. I'm telling yah girls, the Anastasia brow kit does wonders!
On mature skin, I don't like to do too much. She definitely wanted red lipstick so I opted for a subtle eye with natural looking lashes. I made sure to use cream based formulas for the foundation, lipstick and blush because mature skin requires extra moisture.
In the end I thought she looked sleek and polished, yet approachable at the same time.
***Credit to MMF for the amazing photography.

By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Hepatitis B is a viral infection of the liver that is spread when contact is made with blood or blood products from an infected individual.
The symptoms of this condition include:
People do not know they ate infected with Hepatitis A at first because symptoms take between 40 and 160 days to develop (incubation period). Some individuals do not develop any symptoms at all.
Hepatitis B can be transmitted through contact with blood and bodily fluids and the following can therefore lead to infection:
Hepatitis B is diagnosed using a blood test that detects antibodies the body has produced against the virus. Liver function tests are performed to check how well the liver is working and an ultrasound scan may be performed to look at the liver.
There is currently no specific treatment for acute hepatitis B and treatment is aimed at making the patient as comfortable as possible until the infection resolves. Patients can take painkillers to relieve any symptoms of pain. Chronic hepatitis B is treated using antiviral medications that slow production of the virus and minimize damage to the liver.
Prevention of the infection is achieved by vaccinating against the infection. Vaccination is recommended for people in high-risk groups.

Stealing one of my favorite phrases from Alan Greenspan. Am I the only one enjoying the irrational excitement of scUM fans this year? They love them some Wolverines, they are as optimistic as Browns fans talking about the 2012 draft and their 1st rounder that will finally get them to .500.
Its great. They landed a couple of good Ohio State grade recruits (Strobel and Kalis) in a heads up recruiting battle with tOSU, got a new head coach and now they are convinced that all the ills of the DickRod Era are gone for good. Man it is amazing.
Unfortunately for scUM Kalis and Strobel will not don the ugly helmets for another year and this year's rendition of the skunkbears is basically the same lousy set of players from last year with a new system, one that does not match their skill sets.
Rodriguez finally got his people in place, just as he was getting his pink slip, and I think we all saw that his system will get him Big East championships, but it didn't fly in the B1G. So now Hoke has DickRod's undersized offense (complete with inaccurate, noodle armed running back masquerading as a QB) and 3-3-5 other side of the ball (I hesitate to call anyone that gave up 458 pts, 36ppg, a defense). This team is just not good. As I look down their schedule for 2011 I cannot see what they are so excited about.
vs. WMU =win
vs. ND =loss
Vs. EMU =win
vs. SDSU =win
vs. Minny =win
@NW =loss
@MSU =loss
vs. Purdue =win
@ Iowa =loss
@ Illinois =loss
vs. Nebraska=loss
vs. tOSU =loss
I see scUM at 5-7 this year, although I could see them losing to Purdue or SDSU or beating Illinois or NW. So I would say best case, 7-5... worst case 3-9.

Nix strikes out swinging. 0-0 mid 5th.
Nix strikes out swinging. 0-0 mid 5th.
Bailey is dealing tonite! Lookin really good.
Bailey is DEALING tonight. Wow!
How about Reds score a couple of runs and then a rainstorm until tomorrow?
One run here PLZ, then either we'll get rain or bailey will mow them down until they submit.
Paul strikes out swinging.
Not a very inspiring at bat for XPaul. Hope he can be more selective than that. Swung at everything then ultimately K'd.
Lefty, righty, whatever, not a very good at bat.
so, yeah, 5 straight games for Philly w/o a run in the first 5 innings. Both teams are offensively slumping right now, that's kinda why these games don't have the same flair that was referenced earlier
Hanigan lines a single to left.
Who bets Bailey gets a base hit?
There are only two seasons - Winter and Baseball.
nice AB right there for Hanigan.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

Pregnant women who experienced late stillbirth appear less likely to have slept on their left

Implications for nursing practice
■ There is some evidence that settling to sleep in the left position may reduce the risk of stillbirth.
■ For women in late pregnancy getting up more than once overnight may also reduce the risk of stillbirth.
Implications for nursing research
■ There is a need for further research to ascertain the extent to which sleeping on the left side is protective for stillbirth.
■ This research should also explore the point in the pregnancy at which it is important to adopt a left-lying sleeping position.
Research into modifiable and preventive risk factors for stillbirth is emerging as an area of research interest across …

Topic: Problem Running WEBrick
Thats not even close to the full description of the problem. Let me explain.
I was following a tutorial, and they mention that I might want to try installing InstantRails for simplicity. I go ahead and do so. (Just to make sure I did not mess up anything).
I run the test, everything runs flawlessly.
However... Since that test/download/install, I purchased 2 books, one was "The Ruby Way", the other being "Agile Web Development with Rails". In the second book, it mentions making a very simplistic application, then starting the webrick standalone webserver to view the page. When trying to start webrick, it gave me a huge error. I am not sure why though. (I am not at home currently so I can not give the exact error), but was wondering if anyone could think of the reason why... Thanks!

Sheriff Gerace backs New York gun law exemption
MAYVILLE – Retired police officers have been given exemptions to New York state's strict gun-control law.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this month signed an amendment to the NY SAFE Act that will allow retired officers with more than 10 years of service to carry large-capacity magazines and guns currently banned by law.
The exemptions came following concerns raised by former officers, many of whom continue to own their service weapons.
Chautauqua County Sheriff Joe Gerace said he supported the exemptions, and noted that reducing rounds in a magazine will not curb gun violence.
"I don't believe reducing rounds will have any viable safety impact," Gerace said.
"You have highly trained, highly skilled people who have served many years as an officer. It makes total sense for them to have these things," he continued.
John Runkle, a retired Chautauqua County sheriff's deputy with 28 years of service, said he, too, supported the exemptions to the SAFE Act. The Stockton resident and current county legislator was a lieutenant with the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force before his retirement in 2009.
"I agree with the exemptions," Runkle said, "but in my honest opinion, this SAFE Act was never fully explored and should have never been put into law."
"There has been more effort into controlling our gun rights than taking care of the welfare problem we have in the state, which is costing taxpayers millions of dollars," he said.
The bill passed the state Assembly in May, but was not taken up by the Senate until recently. State Sen. Cathy Young, R-C-I Olean, was one of 14 lawmakers to vote against the bill in the Senate.
"I have nothing but the deepest admiration for our law enforcement," Young said on the Senate floor. "I always support them, and I support their ability to regain some of their Second Amendment rights.
"But the reason I'm voting no on this particular piece of legislation is because there should be a full repeal of the SAFE Act, and until we have everyone who is a law abiding citizen regain their Constitutional rights, I can't support this."
Assemblyman Andy Goodell, R-C-I Chautauqua County, voted in favor of the exemptions earlier this summer.
Qualified retired law enforcement officers will be allowed to possess large-capacity ammunition and weapons issued or purchased during the course of their service.

Paleozoic Partner Highlight
Paleontological Research Institution and its Museum of the Earth (Ithaca, New York)
The Paleontological Research Institution (PRI) and its Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, New York, maintains one of the most comprehensive Paleozoic invertebrate collections in the United States. Eurypterids—the centerpiece fossil of the 2013 National Fossil Day artwork—are an important part of that collection. Eurypterids were shaped like a lobster but they were only distantly related. Some of them measured more than eight feet long! They existed in the shallow seas that covered large parts of what are now eastern North America and western Europe during the Paleozoic Era. They also lived in fresh water environments. These armored beasts inhabited the planet for more than 200 million years, from the earliest Ordovician Period to the middle of the Permian Period.
The monster described above was the largest of eurypterids. Most eurypterids, however, were much smaller, less than two feet in length. Most were probably predatory, capturing prey with their claws, but some lack large grasping claws and may have been scavengers or fed on small prey on the bottom. Although they were primarily aquatic (living in both marine and fresh water settings), some forms may have been semi-terrestrial, perhaps in swamps or tidal flats.
Like all arthropods, they had an exoskeleton made of chitin, but unlike many (for example, many crabs, lobsters, and the extinct trilobites), this exoskeleton was not mineralized, which might help explain why fossil eurypterids are so uncommon. Indeed, eurypterids are relatively rare fossils, and not very diverse. There are about 60 described genera encompassing around 300 species. Compare that to the trilobite record of thousands of genera encompassing more than 17,000 species. Most eurypterid species are based on only a small number of specimens, many only by a single fossil, and these specimens are usually fragmentary or incomplete.
Rare elsewhere, New York is prime hunting grounds for eurypterid fossils. The very first eurypterid fossils were discovered there in 1818 and described by the New York Geological Survey. More eurypterids have been described from the rocks of New York State than from anywhere else in the world. By far the most common eurypterids in North American museum and teaching collections come from Silurian Bertie "Waterlime" Formation of upstate New York. The PRI Museum of the Earth is home to many of these eurypterid fossils, including the world's largest complete specimen of a eurypterid, measuring 49.5 inches (more than 4 feet) long. Recognizing the significance of eurypterids to New York, in 1984 the State legislature honored what is likely the most common species in the state—Eurypterus remipes—as the official state fossil.

Governor urged to defend Pueblo's chile peppers in Super Bowl bet
A "chile" reception awaited Gov. John Hickenlooper on Thursday in Pueblo.
In the city for a forum on the local economy, Hickenlooper was met by pleas from local leaders to intervene in a simmering feud between Pueblo and both Denver and New Mexico over where the best chile peppers and green chile dishes originate.
Recently, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock in his Super Bowl bet with Seattle's mayor offered up dishes of green chile from Denver restaurants, some of which use Hatch chile peppers. Hatch peppers are grown in Hatch, N.M.
Pueblo chile peppers are Pueblo-bred Mirasol peppers.
New Mexico television stations and newspapers picked up on the bet and now are running stories questioning Colorado's claims of the best peppers and green chile.
New Mexico also is readying a green chile gift package for Seattle's mayor regardless of the game's outcome. (New Mexico lacks a team and many of its residents root for the Broncos.)
Pueblo City Council President Sandy Daff presented the governor a basket of Pueblo chile peppers and sausage and asked him if he could deliver it to Hancock.
Meanwhile, Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Rod Slyhoff set his target squarely on New Mexico, asking Hickenlooper to join his call for a cook-off between Pueblo and New Mexico at next fall's Chile and Frijoles Festival.
The idea fired up Hickenlooper.
"We'll do a chile smackdown," the governor declared.
As for the Denver mayor, Hickenlooper's initial response was to give the benefit of the doubt to Hancock, saying he might not have been aware of the differences in peppers.
Sensing the Pueblo audience still was unsatisfied, the governor said he will encourage the Denver mayor to come down for next fall's festival.
Hickenlooper said he avoided making any of his own Super Bowl bets this year. His bet with Baltimore's mayor before last year's first playoff game didn't fare well as the Broncos lost so, hoping to help change the team's luck, this year he decided not to make any playoff bets, he said.
It's working out so far, the governor noted.

Finlandia run comes to an end
WHITEWATER, Wis. – Bryanna Heckel of Carthage provided more than enough pop herself to end Finlandia's softball season Friday.
The Carthage College leadoff hitter was 4-for-4 with three home runs and five RBIs as the Lady Reds bounced the Lions 10-2 from an elimination game at the NCAA Tournament in five innings.
Heckel led off the game with a homer to centerfield. Carthage added a sacrifice fly for a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning.
A Kristen Rose RBI groundout helped the Lions pull back an unearned run in the home half of the first.
Carthage added one in the second, but Finlandia counteracted it with a Kari Jewett homer in the third.
That made it 3-2 after three innings, but Heckel clubbed a two-run homer in the fourth and Carthage tacked on three more runs in the inning.
Heckel's second two-run shot in as many at-bats in the fifth put the run-differential rule into play, and though the Lions put together a pair of two-out singles, they could not get the run over necessary to continue the game.
Miranda Brewer took the pitching loss, going 2 1/3 innings and allowing five earned runs on six hits. She walked two.
Alyson Herman allowed four earned runs on four hits in relief.
Offensively, Jewett went 3-for-3 to collect all but two of Finlandia's five hits. The Lions finish 25-8 after the first NCAA Tournament trip in school history.

Essential planning and packing tips for every kind of summer picnic.
The summer picnic is a versatile concept�location, menu, scale�all up to you. There are, of course, a few essentials, and we've got them covered here on our list of surefire supplies and planning tips to make your next outdoor dining excursion a success. First, let's talk storage. For a quick trip to the park, a "wicker, carries things" basket is a romantic choice when you're not hard-pressed to keep food cold, plus it is a quintessential picnic staple. But remember, all mayonnaise-based foods and cut melons must be kept cold to avoid harmful bacteria growth�even if you're not traveling far. So if you opt for wicker and cold food, pack that puppy down with ice packs to keep contents at 40F or under. For something a little more durable and insulated, we suggest an all-occasion basket such as The Pampered Chef On-the-Go Insulated Collapsible Picnic Basket ($41). This particular basket is large and sturdy enough to accommodate all of your supplies, insulated for keep-cool drinks and dishes, enclosed with a zipper for minimal mess, and is also collapsible. It's there when you need it, and practically vanishes into thin air when you don't. (Visit our facebook�page for a chance to win one of these beauties.) Okay, so you've got your basket�now what to put inside? It's time to plan the�menu. Finger-foods like tea sandwiches, dip with bread and veggies, hard cheeses, charcuterie and shrimp cocktail are always safe bets, and crowd-pleasers to boot. From there, you can start considering supplies and presentation. For example, if utensils are in order, put some careful thought into what kind you might need. If you're packing salads of any kind, remember the serving utensils. If you're toting grilled meats, flimsy plastic forks and knifes aren't likely to cut it (no pun intended). Planning on wine? Consider screw-top or boxed wines. If not, remember that corkscrew! Now that we've got your wheels spinning where the "general specifics" are concerned, we'll share a few of our favorite picnic particulars: Checkered blanket-dining is part of the fun of picnicking. Retain all of the flat-and-sturdy qualities of a picnic table by toting large cutting boards to act as a portable work surface�and a place to steady tall drinks and other spill-ables. Small wooden crates or galvanized tins make for charming serving supplies. Use for condiments, chip bags, or pre-made sandwiches. It's a great (not to mention painfully cute) way to stay organized. Simple presentation techniques like wrapping sandwiches in parchment paper, or tying up bags with twine supply a rustic touch right at home with the picnic crowd. If this is an invited guest kind of picnic, consider small cardboard boxes or sweet parchment gift bags to allow for take-away treats. Finally�and this is admittedly the least fun part of the game�we must discuss housekeeping. Nobody likes a litterbug. And for that matter, we don't particularly like any kind of bug, and the ants do tend to go a-marching. So come prepared with large plastic garbage bags or bins, and a small bag of outdoor essentials�we like to include insect repellant, antibacterial cleanser and sunscreen, plus a few basic first aid items like band aids, especially when the kids are involved. Not that we're planning on any injuries. �Alissa Harb Looking for menu inspiration?

Sir John, Eh?
Statements By Members
April 21st, 1997 / 2:05 p.m.
Peter Milliken Kingston and the Islands, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure of welcoming a very special guest to the House of Commons, Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald.
My predecessor as the member for Kingston has returned to Ottawa after a 106 year absence. He has asked me to invite all members of the House to visit Kingston this summer to watch actor John Blackwood portray him in the musical "Sir John, Eh?"
This musical, written by Jim Garrard and Grant Heckman, takes place in Cataraqui Cemetery where Sir John is buried. In the musical, the Macdonald family visits present day Kingston and their story-triumphant public achievement set against personal adversity and heartbreak-is told.
The show also tells the story of Canada and how the acts of Sir John continue to affect our nation today. It is a fascinating, engaging and truly entertaining play with great music. It opens, appropriately, on Canada Day.
On behalf of Sir John, I invite all Canadians to visit Kingston this summer and take in this imaginative and humourous piece of theatre.
Sir John, Eh?

Parkinson's Disease

Bonnie Hickey St. John's East, NL
Mr. Speaker, April is Parkinson's awareness month. Over 100,000 Canadians, 1,500 Newfoundlanders, are suffering from symptoms of Parkinson's which affects one in every 100 adults.
The symptoms, which typically strike people who are over the age of 55, include: muscle stiffness, slowness of movement, tremor in limbs at rest, difficulty with co-ordinating movements, loss of volume of speech.
The cause of Parkinson's is still unknown and currently there is no cure. The St. John's regional chapter of the Parkinson Foundation of Canada is making a special effort this month to increase awareness of Parkinson's disease. Knowledge about its symptoms, medication, exercise and therapy is the key to give sufferers the power to maintain control over this disease.
I would ask my colleagues in the House to join me in the effort to raise awareness of this disorder today.

Ronald J. Duhamel St. Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, last Wednesday, the Prime Minister of Canada and the premier of Manitoba signed the Canada-Manitoba agreement on labour market development.
This agreement, the fourth federal-provincial agreement signed, is extremely important for my province, and includes important differences in services in the language of the official minority, in this case French. The province of Manitoba will provide these services where numbers warrant, in accordance with the Official Languages Act.
In addition, the province is committed to making best efforts to maintain support of the French language community of Manitoba by using its own policy in French language services.
This agreement shows that the federal government is committed to working in partnership with the province in order to improve services to Canadians, and the province appears ready to do its fair share for its citizens.

Sharon Hayes Port Moody—Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, our homes, our schools and our streets echo with voices demanding changes to our justice system.
Three years ago thousands marched in Port Moody-Coquitlam to demand changes to the Young Offenders Act, changes which have been ignored by the Liberal government.
Community anger again erupted recently over government inaction that allowed a serial killer who walked our streets to revictimize the families and communities of those original victims.
Tragically last month a brutal home invasion in Coquitlam robbed a new Canadian family of their parents within weeks of becoming citizens.
Along with my colleagues in the Reform Party, I commit on behalf of all Canadians to press for legislative changes to recognize our victims bill of rights and restore a system of justice that makes the rights and safety of law-abiding citizens a priority in the criminal justice system, including the repeal of section 745.
Montfort Hospital
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Pierre De Savoye Portneuf, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister, the President of the Treasury Board and the Minister of Canadian Heritage have all voiced their support of SOS Montfort in preserving this francophone hospital which is unique in Ontario. Yet the past actions of this trio contradict their words.
The Prime Minister closed the sole francophone military college in Canada, in favour of the one in Kingston, an anglophone bastion.
Moreover, the President of the Treasury Board forced numerous francophones to work in English, by neglecting to enforce the Official Languages Act, which entitles francophones to work in French in the national capital region.
Finally, by imposing upon CBC the worst cuts in its history, the Minister of Canadian Heritage is responsible for the fact that CBC French-language services to francophones outside Quebec are only a shadow of their former selves.
The moral of this sad story is this: Mr. Harris, please do what they say, and not-we beg of you-what they do.
Red River

Reg Alcock Winnipeg South, MB
Mr. Speaker, day by day the Red River continues to rise. It will continue to do so for the next 10 days, threatening people throughout the Red River Valley. We are prepared and are hoping for the best, but no one will relax until the crest has passed.
We are so prepared because of the activities of thousands and thousands of volunteers. They have worked throughout the last two weeks preparing dykes, sandbagging homes, organizing volunteers, feeding volunteers, transporting volunteers. I particularly want to note the efforts of city councillor John Angus, who has worked incredibly hard to make sure that this whole activity is co-ordinated in the south end of the city.

Réginald Bélair Cochrane—Superior, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week, the Minister of Justice announced the key legislative measures aimed at helping those involved directly and indirectly in the battle against crime.
Most of the stakeholders agree that this bill responds in large part to the needs expressed of late, and provides the tools required for the fight against crime.
Among these reactions was that of the Director of the Montreal Urban Community Police Department, Jacques Duchesneau, who was unabashedly enthusiastic in stating that this bill was a good start.
Many have been pleased with the speed with which the Minister of Justice responded to the pressing needs of the community. His work reflects our government's desire to enhance Quebecers' quality of life.

Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Suzanne Tremblay Rimouski—Témiscouata, QC
Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Acting Prime Minister.
After years of discussion between Quebec and Ottawa on the important issue of manpower training, an agreement in principle has finally been reached and was signed this morning by the two governments.
For 32 years, premier after premier in Quebec made the same request, over and over again. Ottawa dragged its feet until an election was imminent and has now, for the second time, signed a manpower agreement, as it did in 1993, when the parties were Bourassa and Campbell.
Could the Prime Minister tell the House what has changed since the famous statement in which he said Quebec was being capricious when Premier Johnson asked for the patriation of manpower training? Is it because he almost lost the referendum or because an election is imminent that the Prime Minister has suddenly become so flexible?

Herb Gray Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Solicitor General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, I wonder why there is such a difference between the position of the leader of the Bloc Quebecois and that of the Premier of Quebec on this issue. I think the Premier of Quebec and the Prime Minister of Canada were very pleased when they signed this very important document on manpower this morning.
So I wonder why the Bloc Quebecois House leader is complaining about this great achievement of the federal government and the Government of Quebec.
Manpower Training
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Suzanne Tremblay Rimouski—Témiscouata, QC
Mr. Speaker, with all due respect for the hon. member, he may not be talking about the same agreement. Perhaps that is the problem.
In July 1965, Premier Jean Lesage, who was not, as far as I know, a sovereignist, already wanted Quebec to have full constitutional authority over manpower training, not an administrative agreement, but full constitutional authority.
Will the Prime Minister admit that an administrative agreement is only a first step, that Quebec is not getting back its jurisdiction over manpower training and the agreement in principle signed this morning in an almost friendly fashion is far removed from the initial request made by Premier Lesage in 1965?

Herb Gray Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Solicitor General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, I just want to repeat the facts. What the Premier of Quebec said this morning was the exact opposite. He accepted this agreement with great pleasure, and I wonder why the position of the Bloc Quebecois in this House is at odds with the position taken by the Premier of Quebec.
Manpower Training
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Suzanne Tremblay Rimouski—Témiscouata, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am astonished that someone with the hon. member's experience is surprised that Quebec members do not take exactly the same position. In Quebec, we are used to watching the federalists, and they do not necessarily take the same line they do in Quebec City. This has happened before.
He said he was surprised, but I am not sure he listened to the same press conference. Of course Mr. Bouchard is pleased, of
course he signed the agreement, and of course it is a first step, just a first step in the right direction. But a very small step.
We can hardly say this is a great step for mankind, as they said when they walked on the moon. This is a small step. So we should get the facts straight. The jurisdiction remains with Ottawa. We are still bound by an administrative agreement. We are not sovereign in this respect.
Could the Prime Minister tell the House why Ottawa did not, as requested by Quebec, do a full transfer of jurisdiction over manpower training, which after all would only reflect the Constitution?

Herb Gray Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Solicitor General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, the leader of the Bloc Quebecois in the House just made a very important admission. She admitted that she does not want to separate from Canada but only wants to amend the Constitution. That is an important point.
Anti-Smoking Legislation
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health.
For weeks, the official opposition and event organizers have asked the Minister of Health to change his anti-smoking legislation. Each time, they met with refusal. On the eve of federal elections, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health are promising that by the end of 1997 they will introduce a bill to amend the anti-smoking legislation, which would meet international standards on sponsorships.
How does the government explain its decision now, on the eve of elections, to promise amendments to the legislation on tobacco industry sponsorships, when these amendments were proposed by the Bloc Quebecois and all rejected by the government in committee and in the House?

Nielsen Was RightMay 27
The End of IE?May 26
Character SetsMay 23
It's a thrilling experience to see your words translated into a foreign tongue, even more so when the language is completely unrecognizable to you. With the first Zen Garden translation (Greek, thanks to Akis Apostoliadis) just about ready for prime–time, and the second one (French, thanks to Nic Steenhout) under way, I've had to start thinking about foreign characters.
French is a snap, since all non–English entities like â, ç, ö and so forth have well–supported character entity codes, as well as even better–supported numeric equivalents. Most of the Germanic and other European languages are built in to modern operating systems so they're easy to handle.
But Greek… that's where I had no experience. Would I have to save the Garden as double–byte Unicode and double the file size? I've played with Unicode before and, while it displays wonderfully in browsers that support it, my current ASP setup is unable to process it. IIS is incapable of parsing Unicode files, which makes them completely useless for anyone running Windows. I'm finally moving the Garden to its own domain and switching to PHP in the next few days, but I have even less experience with Apache.
Long–term planning aside, I don't have to deal with server–side concerns yet, at least. Greek is supported well enough that even though I couldn't see the Greek characters as I edited, assigning my XHTML the proper character set renders a viewable Greek version of the Garden in even my English browser.
Though I believe I've incorrectly declared my XHTML character set. I used the old standby:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Which seems to work on the document level, but according to the crib notes I should also insist on an XML declaration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="EUC-JP"?>
This particular encoding is just the test example, but I've been running around in circles trying to find out what to substitute for 'EUC-JP' and let my XML know that, yeah, I would rather see Greek in there. There's no reference or link in the XHTML spec, so I did my best to pull up information on XML, which makes me break out into a cold sweat. A fruitless search ended up pointing to the Unicode site, where I found a brief Web FAQ.
I'm still not seeing my answer, but maybe I'm not being observant enough. Is there a place where I can find out how to encode an XML document in the Greek language? I will have to keep looking this evening.
The other catch, too, is that if I re–insert that XML declaration, IE6 gets thrown into quirks mode. I suppose this isn't terrible since box model hacks abound in the Garden, thanks to IE5. In a few years when IE5 is no longer an issue though, we might be re–visiting this one.
PNG PetitionMay 22
Jeffrey explains far better than I could why this is important, but if you develop web pages in any capacity, go sign the PNG petition. You�ll be glad you did in 1 to 3 years.
For real-life examples now, load up your trusty PNG-friendly browser (NN7, Mozilla, Opera, Safari, even IE5/Mac, whatever, as long as it's not IE/Win) and point it to these pages—1, 2.
update: Also check Owen Briggs' thoughts on the matter. Good points, Owen.
Patent Policy ApprovedMay 21
Good news from the W3C today. The proposed Royalty–Free Patent Policy has been approved.
Quote: "The Policy affirms and strengthens the basic business model that has driven innovation on the Web from its inception." They've hit the nail squarely on the head with this one. The spirit of the web is information sharing and openness, and it's encouraging to see a guiding body like the W3C maintain that philosophy.
Points of interest in Tim Berners–Lee's official decision —
- The announcement was timed to coincide with the ten year anniversary of CERN's original, similar decision about the early web
- Support amongst W3C members of the originally proposed Royalty–Free Patent Policy has been higher than any other recently adopted recommendation.
- Recognition is made that this policy can be perceived as threatening to some business models, but it's noted that ultimately this is the right decision for the web, not individual companies.
- There is, however, a provision made for the possibility of later inclusion of non–Royalty–Free technology. It's understood that this is only a last resort after all Royalty–Free alternatives are explored.
The last paragraph in Berners–Lee's decision states that no group involved got exactly what they wanted — be they patent holders or open source developers — which goes to show how political the process of developing this Policy was. In the end a balance had to be struck, and compromises made, but the end result speaks for itself.

CSS Font SizesMay 10
A couple of reactionary items to feedback on the Garden.
The URL csszengarden.com forwards you to mezzoblue.com/zengarden, which effectively breaks the back button. I didn't realize this was happening! I definitely wouldn't have chosen that way on purpose; when I figure out what to do about hosting, I'm hoping the domain will be the final URL instead of a forward.
The issue of font scaling has popped up a few times now.
For me, some of the designs that are posted are hard to use because I normally scale fonts up. arch4.20 and Stormweather suffer when this is done to them. I hope that font scaling and different user base fonts will be considered 'normal' uses that designers are expected to take into account.
— Michael Croft
I think I screwed up on that point. I'm so used to coding font sizes as pixels (and since IE6/Win doesn't allow you to resize hard pixel values) that in my testing I never think to fool around with font size and see what breaks.
Part of the problem in a project like this is that while text can scale gracefully, images can't. It's inconsequential to tell a box with only a background colour to grow as text scales, but it gets a whole lot harder when that box has to fit inside another box that only has so much room.
This is one of the problems with CSS as a design language — it's either all or nothing where fonts are concerned. It's a perfectly valid design requirement to constrain text within a certain area; if CSS provided a way to say "resize all fonts but these ones" then the problem is eliminated. Short of serving all your text as an image, there just isn't a way to do this right now.
Any designer worth his or her salt will agree with that point; font scaling needs to be taken into account. But it's a give–and–take process, and you can't expect him or her to cater to every contingency. There's no way I'm going to be able to make my pixel–value background images work if someone chooses to browse at text–size 300%.
The wonderful thing about style sheets is that if my entire design is done with them, I can provide an alternative. If someone chooses to surf at 300%, they'll have the option of a different stylesheet which doesn't break. It may not be as pretty, but at least they can get to my content.
This is probably the best of both worlds. I will give you what I think is my most effective design by default. If you have problems with it, I will give you an alternative or two to chose from that will hopefully clear up those problems. It's tough being all things to everyone; it's substantially easier when there's a choice involved.
Garden FeedbackMay 9
Wow, this has been quite a trip for me.
The feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive, and I appreciate everbody who has taken the time to view the work and comment. It took till this morning to see my first negative comment, when I was expecting far more of them off the mark. I knew I rushed to get it up, so Mac testing was a bit on the light side. Most people have understood this, and supported the project.
Stormweather has, of course, been the biggest problem. Seems like most every Mac browser cringed, with the added bonus of assorted Mozilli 1.3 onwards balking too. Which is odd, because Netscape 7 and Mozilla 1.0 didn't seem to have any problems with it. Ain't life grand? I received an e–mail from Phillipe Wittenbergh this morning with a corrected style sheet. Thanks Phillipe!
A couple of submissions have made their way across my inbox, and I hope to get my first user submission up over the weekend. This is where the project starts to get real interesting.
On to the reviews. Pardon me as I toot my own horn for a bit, but it's comments like these that put the perma–grin on my face yesterday.
How cool is this. Via Simon Willison comes news of the CSS Zen garden, a stunning "demonstratation of what can be accomplished visually through CSS–base design." What a fantastic idea.
— Jeremy Hedley, AntiPixel
Want to see some wonderful, and strikingly different, designs for the same content? Want to contribute your own themes? Then get on over to the CSS Zen Garden. I have two reactions: delight and jealousy.
— Eric Meyer, MeyerWeb (among others)
We need more examples which show the integration of beautiful design and solid structure. Mezzoblue's Zen Garden is certainly one of them. It's this kind of stuff which inspires me to the core and makes me want to contribute.
— Douglas Bowman, StopDesign (emphasis his)
That rocks. Thanks also due to Craig Saila, Nathan Steiner of Web Graphics, Simon Willison of Incutio, Ian Lloyd of Accessify, the esteemed Jeffrey Zeldman, and many, many more. It's your great comments and constructive criticism that have made the past month of work worthwhile.
CSS Zen GardenMay 7
CSS In The NewsMay 6
Consider Your WorldMay 4
CSS StylingMay 1
When using CSS, the one thing that almost no thought is given to is how to format the file itself.
Most CSS examples use the verbose format, with each attribute on its own line. Like so:
p { text-align: left; font: 12px/16px verdana, sans-serif; color: #333; }
This seems to have caught on as a standard method, and while it looks nice, it's horrendously unusable for larger style sheets. A couple of columns of text on each line fill up only the first portion of the editor and leave the rest of the window empty. Scrolling to find any given element takes far too long, and wastes too much time. There's a better way to use that space.
I've started using a more compact format recently that works wonders. Depending on the size of your site, almost your full CSS definition fits on one screen, and a quick glance is all it takes to find the element you're looking for. The above example would look like so:
p { text-align: left; font: 12px/16px verdana, sans-serif; etc. }
Not much different on the first glance, but compare these two files — verbose and compact — and you'll see how the space savings start to add up with larger CSS definitions.
A bit onerous at first glance, I suppose, but it doesn't take scrolling through seven screens to find the element you need to edit. It even saves a trivial few dozen bytes of line breaks and spaces, if you're into that kinda thing.
Just a recommendation to make your life easier. You're welcome.

Need Cell Phone Coverage in Cozumel?? This Info Should Help!
Cell phone coverage in Cozumel was extremely limited in the past and very expensive for all users and most especially for travellers with a cell phone from another country. Folks would bring their cell phones thinking they would function only to arrive and find cell coverage simply wasn't available for their phone or that they could receive calls but not initiate calls out. Fortunately times have changed and technology abounds on the island now.
Since the hurricane destruction of 2005 brought the need to install new cell phone towers, Cozumel now has state of the art, extented range cellular towers that interface with several US based cell coverage providers. If travelers pay their US cell providers for a month of international call usage prior to departing for Cozumel, it typically means a vacation hassle free of trying to figure out how to stay in touch back home without paying a fortune to the internet cafes and calling houses.
And now, some cell phone plans in the US don't even require the purchase of anything additional in order to make calls while outside the US. It's always best to check in advance with your cellphone provider to ensure you understand what the costs of using your cell phone will be while in Cozumel or Mexico. Once that detail has been determined, cell phone providers can also typically advise you how to dial numbers when in a foreign country. However, the information below reflects most cell phone providers' dialing methods while in Cozumel or Mexico.
Dialing Instructions From Cozumel / Mexico
Dialing from a US Based Cell While in Cozumel / Mexico
Dialing Back to the USA: 001 + area code + number
Dialing a Cozumel Cell Phone: 011 + 52 + 044 + 987 + number
Dialing any other Mexico Cell Phone: 011 + 52 + 045 + area code + number
Dialing any TELMEX Land line in Cozumel / Mexico: Dial 011 + 52 + area code + number
International Calls from a Cozumel / Mexico TELMEX Land Line
Dial 00 + country code + area code + number
(EXAMPLE: USA would be 001 + area code + number)
International Operator Assisted Calls
Dial 090
Long Distance (within Mexico) to another TELMEX Land Line
Dial 01 + area code + 7 digit number
To Local Cell Phone (same area code as TELMEX Line)
Dial 044 + same area code + 7 digit number

Dragon Ball Z Kai
Interview: Part 1 with Chris Sabat and Sean Schemmel
Interview | TV-PG
We recently had the opportunity to take a trip to Okratron 5000 (http://Okratron5000) and spend some time with Chris Sabat and Seán Schemmel. The gentlemen were gracious enough to take a moment out of their busy recording day to talk Dragon Ball Z Kai for the blog-o-cam. If you're somehow not familiar with the two, Mr. Sabat is the ADR director for Dragon Ball Z Kai as well as voices Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamcha and various other characters. Mr. Schemmel is most well-known for voicing the most powerful being on Earth touted as IGN's #1 Anime Character of All Time. To his Saiyan enemies he is Kakarot, but you can just call him Goku. Seán also, depending on how you translate it, is the voice of God himself - King Kai. The interview is broken into a series of clips that we will release each week. We hope you enjoy hearing some insight on Dragon Ball Z Kai from a couple of those closest to it. Share you thoughts and comments on Chris and Seán's thoughts and comments.

When asked to describe being a host mother, Jen Kramer of Kendallville, Indiana, reported that "it's just like having another son."
Though hosting an exchange student was her high-school aged son's idea, Kramer and her Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange & Study (YES) Abroad program student Zaki formed an instant bond.
"I hadn't thought about it, but when I was in high school my family hosted an exchange student from Bolivia and that was a great time," Kramer said. "So I was willing to try it with my own family."
"We took him in as one of our own, he called me 'Mom,' and now when we talk on the phone every Sunday, he calls me 'Mom 2,'" she said. "I would have kept him if they let me," she added with a laugh.
Kramer knew nothing about Lebanon, Zaki's home country, before he arrived, but during his 10 months in the States, they worked together to make a list of ten important facts about his country. He used their list when he spoke about his life in Lebanon in classrooms and at events.
Despite their cultural differences, Zaki and Kramer's youngest son were like "peas in a pod." Though her older son had some reservations about hosting an exchange student, he, too, quickly became friends with Zaki. And on a family vacation, many thought the boys were brothers.
"Teenagers are teenagers, and I think young people are more open to different cultures," Kramer said. "It was a great experience for my son and I know he misses Zaki."
The family went everywhere together: they visited Florida and Cincinnati, went to a symphony concert, and took Zaki to his first NBA game.
Kramer found Zaki a delight to host, in part because he got along with everyone, from family members to school friends to strangers.
"What surprised me most was how quickly we grew to love him," she commented. "That was the most rewarding part, just loving each other. And now we have a tie on the other side of the world, which is just great."
"Having him here proved that it doesn't matter where you're from or how you're used to doing things -- family is family."
If you would like to host, it's not too late. We are eager to welcome new families. To learn more about becoming a host, visit hosting.state.gov. Share your own hosting experience using #HostFamily on Twitter.
