Long working hours bad for your health
It is common for employees in Hong Kong to work long hours.
There appears to be no change in this state of affairs despite efforts by the government to change the working culture.
In fact, if anything, in some cases, things have got worse as businesses, faced with soaring rents, cut back on staff in order to reduce costs and stay afloat. Those employees who still have a job face even longer hours.
Labour unions are calling on the government to introduce standard hours legislation, but employers' representatives are opposed to this. As with the debate preceding the minimum wage law, there seems little chance of reaching a consensus without government intervention.
Many studies have highlighted the social costs of long working hours, such as family and health problems. Also, they can cause tensions within the workplace. It is unethical for businesses to deal with the problem of rising rents by exploiting employees.
The successful implementation of the minimum wage proved that it is possible for us to strike a balance between economic flexibility and protection of labour rights.
In his maiden policy address, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying promised to set up a special committee on standard working hours to figure out the way forward.
I accept that the government needs to carefully consider the implications and any demands for a swift decision are unrealistic. However, I still hope we will see standard working hours legislation introduced.
It can help restore public trust in the government.

City's unique character disappearing
I have lost count of the number of visits I have made to Hong Kong. Since the bar code reader was installed at Chek Lap Kok, I can no longer keep track by looking at entry stamps.
For me it has been Asia's "go-to city" for as long as I have been able to fly. The airport and Hong Kong's transport network remain the best in Asia.
My problem now is what to do next. I have observed, with apprehension, alarm and sadness, that Hong Kong [meaning Fragrant Harbour] is losing its "Hong". The "fragrance" is disappearing, sucked out by the likes of Louis Vuitton and Gucci.
I now land in a shopping mall, stay in one and can't seem to find much else. I can't see my favourite small, Chinese restaurant in an alley near the Sheraton in Tsim Sha Tsui lasting long.
I'm sure rising rents will kill it. Some firm like Prada will move in. For me, the day I can't get my pork and noodles at that eatery, I will decide my next trip to Hong Kong will be in the airport's transit lounge, on my way to another part of Asia.

Subsidies can help poorer students
I refer to the report ("Rich grab more university places", February 1).
Obviously, richer citizens have more financial resources and can ensure a better learning environment for their children. The better you do academically and the more talent you show, the greater your prospects.
Also, children from well-off families are part of an extensive and privileged social network. This helps to open doors when they are seeking career opportunities. Many youngsters from low-income families have lost before they even leave the starting gate.
Key to changing this is government policy. It must offer more subsidies to poor students to help create a level playing field and it must ensure these subsidies help these students acquire the skills they need to progress.

Pleas to free dissident fall on deaf ears
Chinese human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng, who has languished in captivity since 2006, is reported to have had visits from two relatives at a prison in Xinjiang region.
The case of Mr Gao, a Christian, has been widely publicised in the West in newspapers such as The New York Times. His wife Geng He has made pleas for his release, through the Western media. He is one of scores of Chinese dissidents who have been sentenced to prison for "inciting subversion".
There is little evidence that pleas for their release have effected any significant change in the government's human rights policy.
An editorial published in The New York Times in April 2010 called on US President Barack Obama to "squarely acknowledge - and protest - the Chinese leadership's continuing, ruthless stifling of any serious political dissent".
The civilised world can ill-afford not to speak out on behalf of Mr Gao and hundreds of other political prisoners who cannot speak for themselves. For many, it is a matter of life and death.

Angered by obsession with more homes
I refer to the report ("Baptist University fights new homes plan", February 8).
If there is any vacant land next to a university, the Town Planning Board should not grab it for homes, but automatically assign it for the university.
It is only fitting that a world-class city, which Hong Kong claims to be, should have adequate facilities for its universities.
The government must avoid turning Hong Kong into a concrete jungle and putting houses on all available land.
To be a world-class city, Hong Kong requires other facilities, some of which it already has (theme parks like Ocean Park and Disneyland), and some that are in the planning stage. The future sports complex in Kai Tak and the West Kowloon arts hub are excellent.
I hope this government will not degrade them, again, by building more houses there.
Also with regard to the city's private clubs, these are essential for the prestige of a world-class city.
They are not a "privilege" and they should not be dismantled in order to make way for more houses ("Exclusive clubs may lose their leases", February 6).
To make any facility user-friendly, there must be adequate car parks and convenient and frequent public transport links.
There are so many other things that the government must take care of besides just constructing houses. Why not limit the number of immigrants to start with?
Ng Mei-ling, Repulse Bay
Clarifying law on money laundering
I refer to the article by Jake van der Kamp ("Proof needed to show a crime has been committed", February 7).
The Hong Kong Police Force investigates money laundering offences in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong, one of which is the Organised and Serious Crimes Ordinance. The relevant provisions of the ordinance have been tested to a very great extent before the courts of Hong Kong.
The ordinance relies on what is commonly referred as "the reasonable man test". It has been upheld in the Court of Appeal that it is not necessary for the prosecution to prove the commission of a predicate offence. What is required to be proved, by evidence or inference, is that a defendant has reasonable grounds to believe that the property represents any person's proceeds of an indictable offence.
The law, and the courts, take the view that if a reasonable man is dealing with a large amount of money, he should form an opinion about why he has been dealing with it.
The courts have considered very carefully, over many cases and legal arguments, what opinion a reasonable man might have about why he is dealing with millions of dollars.
As an international financial centre, Hong Kong is vigilant to the risk of being abused by criminals or terrorists to launder the proceeds of crime.
The Hong Kong police will continue to enforce anti-money laundering legislation vigorously.

Electric car owners kept out of bays
I would like to bring to the attention of your readers the selfish behaviour of some owners of cars which use petrol.
I am the owner of an electric car and every time I drive into the car park I use, the few charging bays allocated to electric vehicles are occupied by a traditional petro-powered model.
It is so inconsiderate of these people. They have a whole multi-storey car park to choose from and they park at our few designated slots. I know these incidents happen at other car parks and in some cases there may only be one charging bay.
In the case of the car park I use I have complained to security personnel. They say these car owners ignore the signage indicating it is electric-only space, remove the cone and park their cars without feeling a shred of guilt. They say they can't do much about it and I find this so frustrating.
Some car parks have dual-purpose parking lots, and conventionally powered cars are entitled to park where they wish. But it is unacceptable for them to use a slot designated for electric cars.

Aussies wanting to replace wood grain trims
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I just bought a white wk2 limited but never liked the wood grain. I just popped into City Jeep (Melbourne) and the gentleman showed me the Laredo bezels which he had ordered for another customer and he said the drivers side dash pieces would be $2500 and the passenger side $1500. He said the doors only come as a full door panel apparently and not as individual bezels and would cost about $4000 for the set so a total of around $8000.
I am picking up my new jeep tomorrow, from another dealer. I would love to just be able to straight swap everything for the Laredo trims but I think I may just go the route of carbon fibre wrapping them as I have seen a few of you guys do this with amazing results.
Hope this information helps someone

- Is there any special medicine I can take or treatment at home I can do, to reduce the rest of puffiness, lumpiness and tightness on the face/ears/neck, after 8 months had full face & eyes lift surgery?. - Why do I feel one day different more tighter than other days? (specially around ears). I am not drink and smoke. Thanks for answer.
Puffiness, Lumpiness & Tightness 8 months after full face & eyes lift surgery
Doctor Answers 13
Tight 8 months after Face Lift
The tightness, that you feel, 8 months after your Face and neck Lift is persistent edema or swelling from the tissue dissection performed during the surgery. This can occur up to a full year and in the case, of a subperiosteal lift, even longer. There's no medicine to make this go away any faster...just time.
Web reference: http://www.drfpalmer.com
Swelling and Edema after surgery
8-9 months after facelifting surgrey, Endermologie is something I recommend to my patients. This is essentially a type of endolyphatic drainage procedure. This is routine in our office.
Lumpiness after a face lift
The daily fluctuations in tightness is likely your fluid status. Restrict sodium and ask your surgeons office if they offer Manual lymphatic drainage(MLD) or external ultrasound. If you are able to get a MLD, pay close attention to how it was performed and repeat this several times a week. It will benefit you greatly.

Be sure to drink plenty of water, and limit excess sodium each day. About 2000mg a day of sodium is fine. Time is needed to heal and this may take from 6 months to a year.

Puffiness 8 months after a Face Lift
Although most swelling from Face Lifting surgery resolves within the first 6 months, it is not uncommon to have some puffiness for up to one year following the procedure. Changes in fluid status of the body can make the face feel more puffy or tight from one day to another and even at different times during the same day. Sometimes patients will lay on one side when sleeping and wake up with that side of their face more swollen. These are all normal occurrences following a Face Lift. Hang in there and I am sure most of these things will resolve with time. Of course if you continue to have concerns, I would suggest discussing them with your surgeon.
Local massage, restricted salt intake and vitamin e cream are helpful. Kenalog injections into the scars can help if they are hypertrophic as can wearing silicone strips during sleep. Tightness is a mixed blessing. you want the result to last for many years so sometimes the price is some prolonged healing.

Puffiness 8 months after Facelift
While the majority of swelling has improved by the six month after surgery, it is not uncommon to see swelling for the first year after a facelift. It is also extremely common to see changes from day to day and even throughout the day. Most of this is due to fluid retention within your face which is affected by your body position (lying down will increase the puffiness in your face), the salt content of your food (salty foods will increase the puffiness in your face), your activity (heavy exertion or exercise can increase the puffiness of your face), and hormonal changes. Fortunately, this fluctuation or change will settle with time. If you have concerns about specific areas of your face, I definitely recommend seeing your surgeon to discuss them.
Puffiness, Lumpiness & Tightness 8 months after face lift
Swelling may take several mor emonths to resolve unless you do have some condition that delays this. Lumpiness may be felt but not seen, however, if you see these, then they may not go away. Tightness can go hand in hand with swelling since the latter can make one feel tightness. Your surgeon should be able to help you with these issues.
Face Lift Video: What to do about puffiness, tightness, lumpiness after face lift
What to do about puffiness, tightness, lumpiness after face lift? Many facial plastic surgeons suggest massage to the areas that are lumpy. Steroid injections are another option. Fat injections can also help make the skin contour more regular. Steroid injectons can also be employed to reduce the lumps. Over time this will eventually improve. Fat injections can be used to soften underlying tightness caused by scar contracture.

House searched in Black Forest
Home is within suspected ignition point zone
Investigators are turning their attention to a house in Black Forest, even though it wasn't burned by the fire. On Tuesday, they searched a home on Falcon Drive near Shoup Road. A neighbor tells KRDO Newschannel 13 that investigators removed items and were on the roof taking pictures
No one is living in the home because it is being renovated. Construction crews were allowed back in after investigators were done.
The home is located within the suspected ignition point zone. The El Paso County Sheriff's Office did not return our call requesting more information on why the house was being searched or what investigators found.

Date of Stay: September, 2009
First time there. We are full timers, and we just happened to stop at Etowah River Campground. Yes, the grass needed cutting, but everything else was very nice. Staff was friendly, helped us pick a good site for our size rig and followed up with us later to see if we were happy with our site. Only one other campground in Florida does that when we stay there. That means something to us when the staff cares about the campers. Give them a try.
Date of Stay: June, 2009
We stopped at Crystal Lake RV park on our way home from Florida to Kentucky. What a sweet campground. Even though it was hot in Florida the campground has a wooded surround with a little lake. Everything was clean and the staff was very helpful. We will make this our pit stop on future trips to Florida.

After another dreadful weekend, it's time to "go back to the drawing board" for the Osoyoos Coyotes.
After an amazing 12-2 start to begin the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) regular season, the Coyotes have fallen on hard times as they have now lost nine of their last 10 games, including getting hammered twice this past weekend.
The Coyotes started the weekend by dropping a 7-2 decision to the North Okanagan Knights on the road. They didn't fare any better on home ice Saturday night against the Sicamous Eagles as they fell behind early and were never in the contest while dropping a 7-3 decision.
The Coyotes now sport a record of 13-11 and have fallen into second place in the Okanagan-Shuswap Division, several points behind the Princeton Posse and one point in front of the Kelowna Chiefs.
Head coach and general manager Ken Law said he had a long and detailed discussion with his players following a difficult practice Monday afternoon.
"We had a really good talk about all the things we did right our first 12 games and all of the things we have been doing wrong over the past 12 games," said Law. "I think the players are now aware that they have to get back to the same work ethic and determination to do the little things at both ends of the ice that they had earlier in the season.
"We're basically going back to the drawing board and starting over because we have to get back to playing the kind of hockey we're capable of or we're not going to get out of this funk we've been in for the last month."
The team scored 30 more goals than they allowed over the first dozen games, but have allowed almost 30 more than they have scored during the recent slump, said Law.
"We're not taking shots when we should be and we're not getting back on defence to help out when we should be," he said. "We're also turning the puck over way too much in the defensive zone and it seems like every time we have a turnover it ends up in the back of our net.
"The boys are very frustrated, but they know the only way to turn this around is to get back to doing what they were doing earlier in the season. I think we've proven we have the talent to play with the best teams in this league and now it's up to us to start committing to doing the little things that make such a big difference in hockey games."
With the league's trade deadline quickly approaching, Law said the Coyotes may be looking to make a deal or two in the next week or so.
"We're not looking at any wholesale changes, but a lot of teams are looking to unload players as the trade deadline approaches and we'll be looking at who is available and who might be able to help," said Law. "I wouldn't mind shoring up our defence with a player or two and you're always looking to see if you can add a player that might be able to add some offence up front."
On Saturday night, a talented and very quick Sicamous team scored three goals in the opening nine minutes and were never threatened the rest of the way.
Alex Grupe scored the first Coyotes goal to close the gap to 3-1, but Sicamous extended the lead to 4-1 with a goal with only 65 seconds to play in the opening frame.
Scott Folden managed to knock in a rebound with only 18 seconds remaining in the first period to close the cap to 4-2.
Sicamous extended the lead to 5-2 as Kelyn Opel scored on a great individual effort early in the second period and Connor Buick netted a late goal to give the Eagles a big 6-2 lead after 40 minutes of play.
Grupe scored his second of the night early in the third period, but the Coyotes never challenged as Sicamous scored a goal in the last minute of play to take the 7-3 victory.
Against North Okanagan, Austin Lee opened the scoring for the Coyotes, but the Knights tied the game with a goal late in the period.
North Okanagan scored a pair of second-period goals, while Darren Martin scored for the Coyotes. The Knights dominated the third period, scoring four unanswered goals to cruise to the 7-2 victory.
Law said he remains hopeful his struggling hockey club will turn things around.
"I think we've sort of hit rock bottom, but we have to realize we can't change things overnight," he said. "We have to get back to playing hard and being committed."
The Coyotes host the Penticton Lakers Friday night and Kamloops Saturday night. They also host Kelowna next Wednesday night. All games are at the Sun Bowl Arena with puck drop set for 7:35 p.m.

Kevin Martin scored 34 points Monday night as the host Houston Rockets defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves for the 13th straight time with a 129-125 victory.
Luis Scola had 20 points and 12 rebounds and Shane Battier made five 3-pointers and scored 19 points for Houston, which shot 49 percent from the field, hit 14 shots from the arc and had six players in double figures.
The Rockets (21-25) haven't lost to the Timberwolves since Jan. 7, 2007.
Minnesota's Kevin Love had 24 points and 17 rebounds for his 30th straight double-double. He was 11-of-11 from the foul line and had a season-high seven assists.
Houston ended a two-game losing streak. Minnesota (10-34) has lost four straight and nine of 10.
The Rockets scored 39 points in the first quarter but were clinging to a 68-67 lead early in the third period before using a 25-7 run to take a 93-74 lead.
Minnesota went on a late 15-4 run to cut the deficit to 125-122 with 9.3 seconds left, but two free throws by Martin and two more by Kyle Lowry put away the game.
Aaron Brooks scored 15 points, Lowry added 14 and Chase Budinger 12 for the Rockets.
Rookie Wesley Johnson scored 19 points, Luke Ridnour added 18 and Michael Beasley 16 for the Wolves, who fell to 2-9 in January.

The flames may be subsiding, but the fire goes on. In his presidential address to the Church of England's General Synod, Dr Rowan Williams emphasised what he regards as his overarching case. This is the claim that a unitary secular system of governance and law necessitates the granting of exemptions to religious groups in order to preserve the right to conscience. I would want to dispute this general approach on two grounds. First, it violates reasonable expectations of a liberal state and is unnecessary to the preservation of free participation in civic life. Second, it champions privilege as the way to security in a way that contradicts a key element of the Christian faith that both Rowan Williams and I share.
The argument that conscience justifies special treatment for religious interests too readily elides the individual and the corporate. It does not sufficiently acknowledge that consciences, like rights, clash. And it fails to address hugely problematic consequences of a general exemption-based position. Allowing conscience in life-or-death questions is one thing. As far as possible a liberal state should seek to recognise conscientious objection within the general rubric of non-coercion, with boundaries to this determined in relation to the needs of others. But this is different from wholesale waivers for certain groups or organisations. If we went down that route where would we draw the line? And who would decide? The answer at the moment, with whatever faults and limitations, is democratically accountable institutions. To change that, which is what would happen if voluntary associations were effectively to decide part of the law for themselves, would be a pretty big deal. Moreover, which consciences and which religious or other civic bodies would be recognised for exemptions (and which not)?
The situation we are in now is one where these issues are becoming much more vexed as a result of two trends. The first is the increasing eagerness of church and other faith bodies to take public money, sign contracts for public service delivery, run taxpayer-funded schools - and then to say that they wish to refuse to serve, assist, admit or employ certain kinds of people. This is happening of their own volition, and it does not seem reasonable to me, or very Christian. It is not a human right to run or offer public services, and it is not a denial of religious freedom of conscience (or any other kind of conscience) for the authorities to make comprehensive equalities requirements for service delivery. Moreover, opting out and acting contrarily, rather than demanding legal exceptions, remains a possibility for those who object, whatever their ideology, both as individuals and members of voluntary groups.
Second, under pressure from the growing pluralism and secularity of public life, combined with decline and change in the overall ecology of institutional religion, some faith groups are pushing for more exemptions as a means of preservation and identity assertion. This is very problematic. Should Catholic pharmacists be able to refuse to sell condoms, for example? That would make chemists unviable in some areas. What we need to say is that while it is right that personal conscience is allowed for in public life (for both the religious and the non-religious), a government elected from a cross-section of the whole of society will need to ensure that the ability of people to access facilities intended for all is not thereby comprised. And the basis for this will be inclusion not exemption. It would be difficult to expect anything else.
There is also a big difference between making allowance for personal conscience and taking taxpayers' money and public contracts for schools and services while maintaining a 'right' to select and discriminate. Using 'conscience' as a wedge for a wide and unspecified raft of exemptions, personal and collective, is at best confusing, and at worst dangerous. If churches and other faith bodies do not feel that full equality of access in public services is something they can endorse, they do not have to take state money or engage in works of public benefit beyond their own premises and membership. They are not compelled to do so, and nor should others be compelled to accept discriminatory practices as part of a public service.
The underlying point is not, as some suggest, that there is (to adopt one of Dr Williams' phrases) "a stark choice" to be made between privileging faith and excluding it from the public realm altogether. It is about the character of that involvement, and the distinction between active engagement in civil society alongside others (good) and seeking power over others within governance for a sectional interest (not good). Establishment is about preserving the latter, and that is why it has to go.
As a Christian, my feelings about all this derive not primarily from abstract arguments about pluralism, but from my allegiance to a Gospel message that, rightly understood, points beyond exclusion, injustice, partiality, self-interest, self-justification and the defence of institutional interests. Instead it invites us to work for a new community by keeping company with Jesus, who was prepared to face down religious and political domination to the point of death, and whose vindication was about life as a gift rather than grabbing life away from others.
This is indeed radical, but those in the Church who claim to be "traditionalist" have no grounds for ignoring it, since it is deeply rooted in their texts and the lives of their exemplars - from St Francis through to Desmond Tutu. What it shows, of course, is that Christianity, like other religions, is not "one thing" but a contested sphere of belief and practice, historically clouded by power and privilege. Which is another reason why it is so difficult and undesirable to grant "the religious" general exemptions from justice and equality for all. I say that as a matter of deep Christian conscience, Rowan, not out of accommodation to a "liberal consensus".

Twenty-four year old Maria Federici as on her way home from work in February 2004 when a heavy object on the road catapulted through her windshield and into her face. Her mother Robin Abel's worst nightmare began that night. This is a behind-the scenes story of a woman determined to rebuild her daughter's life and change road safety laws in order to prevent other tragedies. Because of Robin Abel's quest, no one has forgotten what happened to Maria Federici.
Telling Maria's story has become a mission for Robin Abel. In Washington state, failure to properly secure a load which results in injury or death now brings criminal charges.
But Robin Abel isn't done. She's pushing to create federal legislation which she hopes will prevent similar tragedies.

Gripped in the claw of the constellation Scorpius (the Scorpion), the reflective nebula DG 129 twinkles in a new image taken by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer.
The WISE space telescope provides an infrared view of the reflection nebula ? so-called because the cloud of gas and dust reflects light from nearby bright stars.
Also visible in the image is a luminous star on the right, shrouded in a greenish fog. This star, called Pi Scorpii, marks one of the claws in the Scorpius constellation. The star is actually a triple-star system that is located approximately 500 light-years away from Earth.
In visible light, this portion of the sky would appear somewhat unremarkable. But in infrared light, the shimmering nebula is revealed. DG 129 was first catalogued in 1963 by a pair of German astronomers named Johann Dorschner and Josef G?rtler.
This image is just one piece of a massive sky atlas that the WISE space telescope is assembling. The spacecraft, which launched in December 2009, completed its main mission of scanning the entire sky in infrared light earlier in July.
In that time, the telescope captured more than 1.5 million images, uncovering hundreds of objects, including asteroids, stars and galaxies.
WISE relies on super-cold liquid hydrogen coolant to chill its infrared detectors, but in August, NASA reported that the telescope's secondary coolant tank is depleted, causing it to heat up slightly.
The colors used in the DG 129 image represent different wavelengths of infrared light. The photo was constructed from frames that were taken after WISE depleted its supply of coolant.
After the telescope warmed from minus 438 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 261 degrees Celsius) to minus 404 degrees F (minus 242 degrees C), its detector that is sensitive to 22-micron light became too warm to produce good images. The three shorter wavelength detectors, however, continue to beam back over 7,000 pictures of the sky per day.
In this image, blue represents infrared radiation at 3.4 microns, green represents light with a wavelength of 4.6 microns, and red represents 12-micron infrared light.
In May, a NASA panel rejected a proposal to extend WISE's mission for an additional three months.

Jim Coutts was supposed to have succeeded Pierre Trudeau as prime minister – that's what insiders say Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Coutts had planned.
But the backroom whiz kid of the Liberal Party, the man they called "the fixer" because of the work he did for two prime ministers, could not win his own seat in Parliament.
So he spent his last years out of the political limelight, donating his time and his money to causes close to his heart and enjoying the rich life he had built for himself.
Mr. Coutts died late on New Year's Eve after a long battle with cancer.
He had a law degree from the University of Alberta and a master's degree in business administration from Harvard.
But his first love was politics. He was, above all, a devoted Liberal – which was rather unusual for a kid from rural Alberta.
Mr. Coutts was born to Ewart and Alberta Coutts in High River in 1938 and he grew up in a stucco bungalow in the small town of Nanton, a 20-minute drive to the south.
His great-uncle was a minister of highways in the Alberta government of William (Bible Bill) Aberhart.
But his interest in politics was stimulated by Dorothy Dowhan, the editor of the Nanton News and a committed Liberal, who took him under her wing when he was a child and hired him
at the paper when he was in Grade 9.
A former classmate described him as a teacher's pet – someone who always did his homework and stayed out of trouble.
At the age of 15, Mr. Coutts was the campaign manager for Joe McIntyre, a mine manager who ran unsuccessfully as a Liberal in what was then the Macleod riding.
Those who watched Jim Coutts in action said his organizational skills were evident even at that age.
He attended the University of Alberta concurrently with Joe Clark, who today credits Mr. Coutts with playing "a significant role in the Liberal decision to bring down my government in a budget vote in December, 1979."
Francis Saville, the former chairman of Nexen Inc., was also at the university at that time.
Like Mr. Coutts, he was an ardent young Liberal. And he remembers the two of them driving from Edmonton to Calgary and back again in an evening just to hear Lester Pearson speak at the Palliser Hotel.
"I just felt that the upper thing in his mind was politics and probably being prime minister would have been included in that," Mr. Saville said.
"But I thought of him more as a very able backroom guy. And that's what he was. It never worked when he ran himself."
The first of three times that Mr. Coutts suffered a personal political defeat was in 1962, at the age of 24, when he was the Liberal candidate in Macleod.
He did not even place second in that race. But his loyalty to the party caught the attention of the Liberals in Ottawa.
Liberal Senator Keith Davey selected Mr. Coutts to be the party's campaign chief during the Alberta provincial election of 1963. Then Lester Pearson brought him to Ottawa to be his appointments secretary.
For two years under the Pearson government and then for six under Pierre Trudeau, Mr. Coutts was at the right hand of a prime minister.
His mother was less than impressed. When he called to tell her he had been appointed principal secretary to Mr. Trudeau, she asked him when he was going to get a real job.
In politics, he was shrewd and he was tough. And he was a superlative tactician – not that he wanted to be known as such.
"Jim would always come up with something that was unique and different and off the top. And usually he was right," says former senator Jerry Grafstein, Mr. Coutts's long-time friend and Liberal cohort.
"He was a thinker and he prided himself on being a thinker. The thing that he hated the most was people thinking of him as an influence guy, as a fixer. He did not like that because he believed in policy. He believed in ideas."Report Typo/Error

TinCaps Take Series with Comeback Win
Adams Goes 3-for-4, Scores Two Runs
By Mike Couzens / Fort Wayne TinCaps | April 14, 2013 2:31 PM ET
Click here to see highlights from the TinCaps' series-clinching win
Fort Wayne, IN - For the second time this season the Fort Wayne TinCaps found themselves down early, only to storm back and secure a win as Sunday they defeated the Lake County Captains, 5-4, at Parkview Field. Outfielder Brian Adams went 3-for-4 in the win, scoring twice and driving in a run. Fort Wayne won three out of the four-game set.
TinCaps starter Zach Eflin encountered some self-induced trouble in the first, walking the first two batters of the game. Both Luigi Rodriguez and Logan Vick, the recipients of those free passes, came in to score on a Nellie Rodriguez two-run single, giving Lake County (2-7) the early edge.
Fort Wayne (6-4) put its first run of the afternoon on the board in the third on a run-scoring groundout from Maxx Tissenbaum, to cut the Captains' edge to 2-1. In the sixth the TinCaps picked up three consecutive hits against Lake County reliever Dylan Baker (0-1), with the second of those three being an RBI double by Adams to tie the game. Adams came around to touch home on a bunt single by Alberth Martinez paired with a throwing error by Baker. That run gave the TinCaps a 3-2 lead.
That lead did not last long, though. Fort Wayne reliever Tayron Guerrero walked the bases loaded in the top of the seventh and then walked in the tying run, as he threw 27 pitches, but only seven of them for strikes. Matthew Shepherd (1-0) put out Guerrero's fire, although he did permit one inherited runner to score, sending the game to the bottom of the seventh with Lake County on top, 4-3.
Gabriel Quintana singled home Corey Adamson in the seventh to tie the game at four, and Rodney Daal lofted a sacrifice fly to left in the eighth inning, bringing Adams home with the go-ahead run. Roman Madrid notched his second save of the year with a perfect ninth inning.
The TinCaps will enjoy an off day Monday, and then head to South Bend for the start of a three-game series on Tuesday. The first game of that series, scheduled for a 7:05 first pitch, is scheduled to feature Fort Wayne's Erik Cabrera on the hill against South Bend's Cody Wheeler. The game can be heard on The Fan 1380 and TheFanFortWayne.com.

Alpine Premium System for Jeep WK2
Stumbled on this weblink after looking forever for one previously. See other related threads in this subforum for further info.
Re: Alpine Premium System for Jeep WK2
the site is pretty lackluster, sort of like the system... ziiing! haha
Re: Alpine Premium System for Jeep WK2
Thanks for that. Too bad we don't have more control over system. Can only adjust bass, mid-range, treble and balance, fade.
Moosehead, how's your new sound system?
Re: Alpine Premium System for Jeep WK2
Agreed with you both, but I get the feeling that Chryco blew the execution of otherwise decent OEM Alpine gear in the WK2. It will be interesting to see what HK does differently for the 2012 SRT8.
Milebout, the audio upgrades have been tremendous once you get over the unknown spec and wiring diagram of the WK2 for install. I'd suggest trying the following in order of priority and potential payback, though I did most all of it. Many have done more.
1) Requisite to replace the stock plastic sub enclosure as top priority. It is flexible and therefore distorts any bass being pushed by the stock setup. This alone may improve sonic quality by a good exponent.
2) The stock 500 watt Alpine Amp is diluted through too many speakers with perhaps inadequate crossover and/or too many bridged speakers. Just getting more power is a huge improvement to audio quality, and I'm not a ground pounder music dood.
3) Though the Alpine speakers and sub are decent, upgrading the front door speakers is key since that is the driver's sound stage focus. That said, if you just did the first two items above, you'd be much happier with stock.
4) A 10" or 12" sub, though the stock 8" may be fine with a solid sub enclosure and more power.

I'm back with another Valentine project for you! How are you liking these little hearts? Personally, I'm loving them. It all started with an ugly frame I picked up from the thrift store. I gave it a grey paint job. I punched out some hearts from white card stock and one red glitter heart. Then, using some of those puffy sticky dots, I stuck them onto a piece of card stock that I cut to fit my frame. I … [Read more...]

lovely valentine luminaries
So I've been thinking about making some Valentine luminaries for a few days now and tonight was the lucky night. It is my personal opinion that no one can ever have too many candles. Ever.

This was one of those projects that I knew I already had the supplies, I just needed to rummage … [Read more...]

DISCUSS: Whose side are you on?
Barring an unexpected turn, the Patriots and cornerback Asante Samuel will not reach a long-term contract agreement before today's 4 p.m. deadline for franchise players. The Patriots have not increased their most recent offer, according to a source directly involved in negotiations.
Yet Samuel's agent, Alonzo Shavers, has not lost hope that a deal could be struck.
"We're still working, the deadline hasn't got here yet," he said. "We've been in conversations."
Shavers would not elaborate on the nature of those conversations, and also wouldn't confirm that the Patriots haven't upped their most recent proposal.
Asked if he's optimistic about striking a deal, Shavers said: "I always stay optimistic. We'll see how it goes. In 24 hours, it will be painfully obvious or overwhelmingly joyous."
If franchise players don't sign a long-term deal by today's deadline, they must play for the one-year tender offer, and can not finalize an extension until after the 2007 season.
If an extension is not reached, Samuel essentially has two options.
He could sign his tender and play on a one-year, $7.79 million deal that is guaranteed. The idea would be to put together another strong season and hit the unrestricted free agent market next offseason. The only wild card in that scenario is that the Patriots could potentially put the franchise tag on him again.
But Samuel has said he wasn't interested in that approach. He told the Globe in June that he planned to hold out until the 10th week of the season. By doing so, he would eliminate some risk of injury, receive a credited season toward his pension, and potentially set himself up for unrestricted free agency next year.
Asked yesterday if Samuel's stance might be softening, and if he'd consider signing his franchise tender and showing up for training camp, Shavers said: "I have no knowledge of that."
Samuel was one of seven players assigned the franchise tag by their teams. Of the group, Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney and Saints defensive end Charles Grant signed long-term extensions, and the Lions were closing in on an extension with defensive lineman Cory Redding over the weekend. Seahawks kicker Josh Brown and Bengals defensive lineman Justin Smith signed one-year tenders. The situations of Samuel and Bears linebacker Lance Briggs remain unresolved and have been the most contentious.

The original bill now goes to the house where it needs a 3/5 vote. That is, if the speaker lets it come up. Remember that all of the power in the state of Illinois lies in the hands of Mike Madigan, the house speaker. They don't call it Madiganstan for nothing. My money is on it not passing or even being voted on.

Ermoupolis, Syros Island
Hermoupolis is the town that was born in the fire and turbulence of the Greek Revolution of 1821. Refugees from the collapsed settlements of the Aegean islands and the coast of Asia Minor, persecuted by the Ottomans found here a shelter and a safe place to settle. Not very rich in resources, but endowed with broad knowledge and experience in commerce, in transports and in industry, these thousands of people stimulated the dynamic growth of this area which became their new home and led it to prosperity and to the flourishing of culture and social life.
|Click on any image to enlarge
Soon enough the town was dedicated to Hermes, the ancient god of commerce after whom it was named ("Hermoupolis" means "the town of Hermes") and by mid-19th century it had already become the most important economic commercial, maritime and cultural center of the Greeks. It is here that in first time on independent Greek territory was formed a distinct class of bourgeois which showed its dynamism not only in economic activities but also in culture and intellectual life. It is in this period that the town was decorated with a lot of important public buildings, churches, squares, theaters, workshops, industries and with excellent private mansions. In this way, it became famous in Europe and attracted a lot of visitors who came from their home countries to see this small but so prosperous and elegant town. This fame and the tourist interest do last until nowadays and many people pass from the island to see Hermoupolis, this living Museum of a magnificent recent past.
Today Hermoupolis is a small modern town, the capital and seat of the Prefecture of Cyclades and of the Regional Administration of South Cyclades; it is again the economic and transport center for the entire Aegean.
Once in Hermoupolis, the visitor has a lot to see and more to learn. The town is amphitheatrically arranged, starting from the port and climbing on the two hills up to Ano Syros. The pride of this noble town, recalling a prosperous town of Italy in the 18th and 19th centuries, is the Miaoulis Square. Here you will see the terrace of Marble serving for music events, designed by the Greek sculptor Vitalis, and the Town Hall designed by the famous architect Ernest Ziller. On the hilltop, the Church of Anastassi with its blue dome, dedicated to the Resurrection of Christ, crowns the town.
Apart from this nice central square, where it is also situated the Cultural Center of the town, the visitor should visit the excellent restored theater "Apollon". Of course, during the long strolling about the town, the visitor should not miss to visit the numerous magnificent churches, both Catholic and Orthodox. The imposing church of Aghios Nicolaos Plousios ("St. Nicolas the Rich") made of marble, has been constructed in the 19th century thanks to the donation of wealthy people of the island; the church of Koimissi, dedicated to the Assumption of Virgin Mary, has an excellent icon, work of El Greco; the cemetery and its church, dedicated to Aghios Georgios (St. George) have impressive burial monuments, the church of Metamorphosis, dedicated to the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ, is the cathedral of the town. And, apart from those there are numerous other churches worth seeing.
At the waterfront it is worth seeing the statue of Nike (Victory), in honor of the Greek Resistance of the period 1941-1944 and in front of the church of Aghios Nicolaos the Monument in honor of the Unburied Fighter, a sculpture made by the well known Greek sculptor Vitalis in 1889. And, of course, you should not miss to go for a walk in the quarter of Vaporia (meaning "ships" in Greek), at the northern part of the town. It is the quarter of the noble and wealthy people of Hermoupolis, with narrow streets and full of neoclassic style buildings and wonderful mansions, many of them facing the open sea and reminding to the visitors of today the prosperity and the power that these people used to have in the past.
Don't miss to visit the very interesting Archaeological Museum of the town, the Museum of Cycladic Art, housed in the Cultural Center and the unique Industrial Museum, where there have been collected all the remains and of the industrial growth of the 19th century. The list of the worth seeing buildings is endless; let's state only a few more as the buildings of the Prefecture and of the Regional Administration of Southern Aegean, the National Bank of Greece, the building of the Cultural Association "Lykeio ton Ellinidon" (the Lyceum of Greek Women), the Art Gallery of Cyclades, the Customs' House, the building of the School of Commercial Navy and a lot more which you will discover strolling about this wonderful town.
Finally, the visitor should not miss to visit the semi –ruined Lazaretta, the old pest house, situated off the town at the southern end of the bay.
In short distance from the town, at the nearby inland settlement of Episkopio, some 4 kilometers southwester to Hermoupolis, don't miss to visit "Kokkinospito" ("the red house in Greek), an almost ruined house, haunted according to the local tradition, which inspired the well known Greek author M. Karagatsis in one of his romances.
The 12.000 permanent residents of the actual town should be – and really are – very proud of their town and keep trying in making it better known. Every summer the Municipality of Hermoupolis organizes a series of cultural activities, the "Hermopoulia" which attract many people with the variety of events which cover almost all arts. The actual city has also a Casino, housed in an excellent building of neoclassic style.
The numerous visitors will have a lot of alternatives for accommodation of any level and will enjoy gorgeous food, both of the local and international cooking in many traditional taverns and modern restaurants. Several bars and clubs promise interesting amusement and hot nightlife, especially in summer.
In case of emergence all kind of services are available in Hermoupolis which, among others, has also a modern General Hospital.Access to the town is possible by ship from Piraeus and from the neighboring islands and by airplane from Athens and in summer from other towns of Greece, as well as from various European cities by charter flights.

Player: Aaron Colvin
Hometown: Owasso, Okla.
Class: Junior
Height & Weight: 6-foot, 181 pounds
Likely position on fall depth chart: Starting corner
The rundown: Colvin makes the switch from starting strong safety to starting cornerback with the shift of Tony Jefferson from nickel to free safety and OU's lack of depth at the position. He started 12 games in 2011, tying for the team-lead with 84 tackles. On top of that, the DB who has played 26 games in two seasons recorded six pass breakups, 4.5 tackles for loss, including a half sack and two fumble recoveries. He's now managed 118 total tackles, including 7.5 tackles for loss in his first two seasons in a Crimson and Cream uniform.
Expectations for 2012: Colvin should really help solidify the corner position in OU's five defensive back set under new and returning defensive coordinator Mike Stoops. Expect him to have a pick or two this year with a lot of tackles once again. He's one of just many talented defensive backs in a league loaded with them.

Gay Man Takes to Reddit to Complain About Pride
Eh, I gotta confess. I kinda sorta gets what he means. Pride can feel rather harsh if you are NOT young and hot. Hell, even when I actually WAS young and KINDA hot... there was often very much this "I'm wayyyy hotter than you ever will be" vibe going around... Admittedly, these experiences were always in Weho. (Perhaps the harshest gay ghetto in the world. SF and NYC have both feel quite different. Honestly, the few times I visited them, I felt way more welcome than I ever did in WeHo and I have lived in LA for twenty years...) ) My point is -- I can see how some might feel that if you aren't a perfect 10, really. You might as well stay home. Hell, I vividly remember at 24 some stranger bitch saying to me "Please! Put your shirt on..." And then cackling with his friends... Mind you, admittedly, I was not Mr Six Pack. But at 6'4 with a 32 inch waist, I wasn't exactly Jabba the Hutt either. Lets just say it didn't exactly fill me with pride.

Savage Love
I actually think that Dan missed the boat on the Columbus Day wedding. It seems to me that the bride to be definitely DOESN'T want her sister there. Why else chose the ONE date that the sister has a conflict with? Seriously, its a aggressively passive way of saying -- "Uh, I am ashamed of you and your gender confusion. Please don't come to my wedding." Hey, it's very fucked up. But honestly? That's the only idea that makes sense here.

What happens when the head of the world's largest recreational gear and clothing store decides to focus all his energy on getting kids passionate about the outdoors? Dennis Madsen, the former president and CEO of REI who recently retired after 39 years with the company, is about to find out with the Youth Outdoors Legacy Fund, a group he created to support volunteer-driven organizations that get kids outside.
"When I used to come home from school, I would throw down my books and announce to my mother that I was going to play in the woods behind our house," says Madsen, whose love of the outdoors led him to answer an ad for part-time sales help at REI during his senior year at West Seattle High School. "Today, kids come home and announce that they are going to get on the computer. The whole paradigm has shifted as kids look to entertainment as a pastime."
Madsen isn't willing to accept this change. He's worried about childhood obesity and the lower activity levels that contribute to it. He's especially frustrated about the way computer and video games foster inactivity―games that are ironically based on physical sports like snowboarding and basketball. "I'm glad that they are highlighting the thrill that being outdoors can provide," he says of these games, "but I think where it tends to fall down is the way it's used."
A way to build self-esteem
All true enough, but one might wonder why Madsen wasn't content just to do his part by selling REI gear that, in theory, would inspire families to get outside. He was, after all, extremely successful in his years at REI, growing the company from 1 store in Seattle (in 1966, when he joined the company) to 77 stores around the country. So why the career change?
"I can't imagine having worked for a better company and being associated with better people," he says. "I want to replicate that somehow for others."
Specifically, Madsen wants to reach "urban kids and inner-city kids who don't have nature proximate to them," as he puts it. His new program will help pair these kids with volunteer groups that make it possible for them to experience nature in meaningful ways. For Madsen, this idea has powerful resonance: It was, after all, a volunteer scouting leader who got him forever hooked on the outdoors.
"Pushing physical limits does so much to increase a kid's self-confidence," Madsen says. He has seen firsthand that children are looking for a sense of identity and a way to express themselves. That's why completing a tough hike or making it all the way to the ceiling of a climbing gym are the sorts of experiences that help kids gain self-esteem.
"The outdoors supplies physical, spiritual, and emotional benefits to kids," Madsen says. "It's not the silver-bullet answer, but it is one answer."
It's an answer that Madsen is willing to bet on. His goal is to build a $5 million endowment, which will permit his fund to grant roughly $250,000 per year to organizations like EarthCorps, Outward Bound Adventures, and Trips for Kids. Madsen has kicked in $250,000 of his own, convinced the North Face to match that amount, and received a commitment from REI for another $750,000.
"I am struck by all the tremendous passion that there is out there," Madsen says. "There are so many volunteers doing so many things for kids, like my troop leader did for me."

Start 'em young
Dennis Madsen is not a child psychologist, but he does play one at home―his daughters are in their late 20s, and he's already a doting grandparent. How did he get his children to share his love of the outdoors? Here are a few of Madsen's home-tested strategies.
Start early. "I got my daughters into the outdoors―backpacking and skiing―when they were 3- and 5-year-olds."
Let children choose. "Valerie is a beautiful skier, but Marcie is a cyclist because she didn't want to compete with her older sib. They each charted their own course."
Listen to your kids. "Find out what interests them and take cues from that. What are their friends doing? Would they like to do something with their friends?"
Mix it up. "Expose them to a broad range of activities. Take a hike one day, a beach walk the next, visit a climbing gym another."
Keep it simple. "Especially for young ones, establish short, attainable goals, even if it's just hiking to a tree before stopping for M&M's."
Have fun. "If there's a mud puddle on the trail, let them jump up and down in it. Get dirty!"

Former Khmer Rouge leader Ieng Sary, who was on trial for genocide and war crimes, died in hospital on Thursday at the age of 87, a spokesman for the UN-backed court said.
"We can confirm that Ieng Sary died this morning after being hospitalised since March 4," spokesman Lars Olsen said.
The oldest of three former leaders on trial, he was foreign minister in Pol Pot's murderous regime.
The death of the former student radical, who emerged as one of the few public faces of the Khmer Rouge during its brutal rule in the late 1970s, will heighten fears the remaining defendants may not survive to see justice at the court.
Ieng Sary, along with "Brother Number Two" Nuon Chea, 86, and one-time head of state Khieu Samphan, 81, denied charges including war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.
Born to a poor ethnic Khmer family in south Vietnam, the former foreign minister repeatedly denied knowledge of the mass executions that came to define the Khmer Rouge regime, and claimed he had no powers of arrest.
His wife Ieng Thirith, the regime's former social affairs minister, was also supposed to be in the dock but she was deemed unfit for trial last year after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Led by "Brother Number One" Pol Pot, who died in 1998, the Khmer Rouge wiped out nearly a quarter of Cambodia's population through starvation, overwork or execution in a bid to create an agrarian utopia during their rule.

A 6-year-old performs an act of kindness
EL PASO, Texas - At what age does a child learn to perform an amazing act of kindness?
At first glance you might think long-haired Bobby Padilla is a young girl getting ready for a haircut.
But the child getting fixed up in ponytails is a 6-year-old boy who wanted to start letting his hair grow long, since he was f5.
But Bobby wasn't doing it to be a rebel.
"A year ago he saw Robin Roberts on TV with no hair, from her bone marrow transplant, and he asked why she didn't have hair. I explained to him that people can donate their hair," said Ashley Padilla, Bobby's mother.
She said Bobby wanted to grow his hair and donate it to make wigs for kids with cancer.
Ashley almost found it hard to believe.
"Honestly I didn't think he was going to go through with it. At times he would say 'lets go cut it'",, said Padilla.
But he didn't, he stuck it through and it didn't come easy.
"For a year he struggled with it, he wasn't trying to be gender non-complaint," said Padilla, as she chuckled.
Bobby was a little shy in front of the cameras. But he did tell us his friends teased him about the long hair.
"They said I looked like a girl and cut it," said Bobby, "I did it in a ponytail all year since I was in kinder," he said.
Bobby has also seen a family member affected by cancer.
"His grandmother just had cancer a year ago," said Padilla.
And Bobby told ABC-7 that even though he's proud to be helping kids with cancer feel better about themselves with hair donated by people like him, he also feels like a super hero.
"It feels great and I can run faster now," said Bobby.

Where I stayed
La Casa de Henao
We were lucky enough to hear about a hospedeje there from fellow travelers we met in Pucon, and made a reservation in advance--especially fortunate because Valpo is a prime new year's destination, known for its spectacular fireworks over the bay. By our backpacking standards, it was a luxurious place to stay--an old high-ceilinged home on a hill in the seaport quarter, lovingly restored and decorated by Karen, a Chilean woman raised in Valparaiso, and Jose, her retired American Marine husband
Valpo is full of grand old buildings that look like they're crumbling, but the city is bustling toward the future. It's crazy traffic, honking horns, hanging laundry, hordes of pedestrians, mazes of electrical wires over the street, and brilliant lights at night. We were very surprised it was perfectly quiet for sleeping.
The guidebooks say you either love Valpo or hate it, and I think we fell into the "love it" category, even though as a result of a nearby forest fire that had burned for 5 days before it could be put out, the air was so smoky Sidney began coughing almost immediately and neither Jim or I felt we could take a deep breath. It is the only city in Chile that still uses public elevators--acensors (like gondolas on incline rails) to move pedestrians up the hills quickly and efficiently. each ride costs 50 to 75 cents. There are a number of them located around town--there are actually 52 hills that surround the flatter part of Valpo.
A highlight was taking collectivos to get around--they look like little black taxis, but they run certain routes and take more than one fare at a time. You stand on the corner and throw out your arm, extending fingers to match the number in your party. The car stops, you get in and pay the equivalent of 50 cents per person, and if you're going downtown, you get a ride akin to the "knight bus" scene in one of the Harry Potter movies--squeezing through impossibly small slots between the curb and a bus at breakneck speed, lurching to a stop on the bumper of a car in front of you, and then zooming pedal to the metal down the street until you need to stop again (surely J.K
We also had great ice cream in Valpo, but I'll let Sidney tell you about that.
Mary Ellen
Sidney's Story
One thing I can say about Chile is that it has good sweets. We had Chilean "Artisanal" ice cream twice while we were there, and I think it's nearly as good as New Zealand's. But the real treat, in my opinion (and as you can see) was the Sprite. I like Sprite at home, but in Chile it's just so much better. The reasons? One, what I had was in a glass bottle, not a metal can. Two, it was made with sugar instead of corn syrup. As you can see in the video, these two factors make it excellent!
Our visit to Vina del Mar (the neighboring, also seaside city) was also neat, and we bought some cool trinkets.
