Clothes may make the man—but then again, Duncan Quinn is a man of many interests. Wine, vintage cars, music, art, architecture—each lends a flavor to the English designer's Savile-Row-with-an-edge aesthetic. It's a key reason the New York-based Quinn decided to launch a Miami Pop-Up Experience in his Design District space (at the Moore Building at 4040 Northeast Second Avenue) during Art Basel Miami Beach; the man who loves impeccable-yet-modern tailoring will now tailor his own multifaceted event. Fresh off a plane from London, he took a few moments to talk about all that suits him.
What are your favorite Miami hangouts?
Bardot. It has character. The Florida Room. I appreciate a good cocktail. The Design District. It is not a cookie cutter.
Given your presence at Basel, are you an art collector? What artists most move you?
Mother nature is probably top of my list, but the trick is appreciating it in among all the fires you're putting out at that particular time. Other than that Rothko for the color and simplicity, Calder for the technical fun, Nara for the haunting images and Chagan for the colors and madness of it. On a more simple level its a simple knee-jerk.
When did you realize you wanted to be a designer?
It allowed us to showcase some of the things we do outside our stores by bringing them inside... the wine, the dinners, the cars, the motorcycles, the cocktails, and more than a little rock 'n roll.
Why is a pop-up store during Art Basel the perfect showcase for your aesthetic?
Before I started at primary school I wanted to be an architect. I was sidetracked for decades and then came full circle, only making wrappers for people, not buildings.
What are some secrets to a perfectly fitted suit?
It needs to fit the personality and purpose as much as the frame of the person wearing it. To extend the analogy above, there's not much use in a perfectly exeinted 50 story office block for a community that wanted an understated yoga centre.
How would you describe a suit that feels very of-the-moment for 2011?
Already dated. Fashion is fickle so I prefer style, and style endures longer than "of-the-moment."
What's the go-to look you reach for when you want to feel completely confident?
For me, 13 oz of a good old fashioned British chalkstripe. That and a bold tie and matching accoutrements.
Who's the most stylish guy in Hollywood?
Johnny Depp. He has a style, which is produced by him and not by freebies from "stylists."
What's on your iPod at the moment?
AC/DC "Back in Black"— I just went for a run in Central Park.

Stocks Close Narrowly Mixed
Stocks ended Friday mixed in a narrow range on moderate trading volume. The day was marked by profit-taking after Thursday's hefty run-up, which was sparked by a report of increased manufacturing activity in December. Some negative earnings forecasts dampened investors' spirits, but major indexes all scored a winning week to ring in 2003.
"The market is absorbing profit-taking fairly easily," said Hugh Johnson, chief investment officer at First Albany. Johnson noted that volume should pick up substantially Jan. 6, as many investors were on the sidelines during a holiday-shortened week. "We will really get back to work seriously starting Monday," he said.
The Dow Jones industrial average finished down 5.83 points, or 0.07%, to 8,601.69. The broader Standard and Poor's 500-stock index slipped 0.43 points, or 0.05%, to 908.60. The tech-laden Nasdaq composite index moved ahead 2.17 points, or 0.16%, to 1,387.02.
Before the bell, home-improvement retailer Home Depot (HD ) cut its earnings forecast for fiscal 2002. Home Depot shares plunged more than 14% Friday. The widely-held issue dragged on the Dow average and other home-improvement stocks.
Bank of America, in turn, issued a downgrade of Home Depot's main competitor Lowe's (LOW ), though the company stuck with its current sales and profit forecasts. Lowe's shares fell 6.18%.
The Big Three auto makers all reported increased December sales Friday. The No. 2 U.S. auto maker, Ford (F ), said that December 2002 sales rose 13% from the same month in 2001. The figure was adjusted to account for one fewer selling day in December 2002, vs. the prior-year period; the unadjusted increase was 8.2%.
The world's largest auto maker, General Motors (GM ), reported a December sales gain of 36%. The other Big Three auto company, DaimlerChrysler (DCX ), reported a gain of 1% for the same period. Despite the sales increases, all three companies saw shares fall Friday.
"The auto sales numbers for me are more important [than Home Depot]," said Johnson. "Put that alongside the report [on increased manufacturing activity Thursday] and it suggests the economy did a little better than expected in the month of December."
Electronics retailer Radio Shack (RSH ) said it cut earnings estimates. The No. 3 electronics seller said fourth-quarter profits would fall short of previous expectations owing to slowing sales growth. The shares traded slightly higher Friday afternoon.
Health-care company Guidant (GDT ) scuttled plans to acquire privately-held Cook Group after Cook's tests on a new heart device failed. Guidant consequently lowered 2003 earnings expectations. Shares in Guidant slipped more than 5% Friday.
On the positive side, drug store chain Walgreens (WAG ) announced that it beat Wall Street first-quarter earnings estimates by a penny per share. Shares in Walgreens rose 6.8% on the good news.
The profit outlook was also upbeat from upscale shoemaker Kenneth Cole (KCP ), which issued improved earnings guidance for the fourth-quarter. The rosier forecast drove the shares up 7.1% Friday afternoon.
In economic news Friday, November construction spending increased 0.3%, more than the expected 0.1%. Investors had little reaction to the uptick.
Next week's economic news should have more impact on the markets. President Bush is expected to release details of an economic stimulus plan on Jan. 7, while December employment data is due Jan 10.
On the corporate front, the first fourth-quarter 2002 earnings reports should begin to trickle in next week. The most noteworthy release: Dow component Alcoa (AA ), expected Wednesday.
In commodities, oil prices continued to inch higher Friday, as doubts lingered about a quick resolution of Venezuela's general strike and uncertainty about Iraq added to supply concerns.
Treasury Market
Prices of U.S. Treasuries were mixed Friday. Prices for the 10- and 30-year issues were up, the two-year note's price was flat, and the five-year note was down slightly.
Applying some pressure to Treasuries, Boston Federal Reserve President Cathy Minehan said to a Connecticut business group Friday that the economy was on track for a moderate recovery. Minehan's were the first public comments by a Fed policy-maker in 2003.
"Tepid bottom fishing, along with another strong day of higher crude prices kept stock gains in check, [and] helped take some pressure off the curve as well," notes economic research firm MMS International.
World Markets
European markets closed lower Friday. In London, the Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100 index was down 4.60 points, or 0.11%, to 4,004.90. In France, the CAC 40 lost 7.14 points, or 0.22%, to 3,187.88. In Frankfurt, the DAX Index dipped 12.10 points, or 0.39%, to 3,092.94.
In Japan, the Nikkei 225 index was closed for the New Year's holiday. The Nikkei, which will resume trading Jan. 6, dropped 135.10 points, or 1.55%, to close at 8,578.95 on Monday, its last trading day of 2002. In Hong Kong Friday, the Hang Seng index gained 218.33 points, or 2.33%, to close at 9,583.85.

Today in Tokyo, beneath the Eiffel Tower, in Ghana's Black Star Square.
From Paris, there came a dispatch of a commemoration of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, across from the Eiffel Tower.
This was not the Impossible—the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House—this was a walk above the LongHouse pond.
In the last three weeks, the Eiffel Tower has been evacuated twice for bomb threats.
I never saw such an interminable shaft; it seemed higher than the Eiffel Tower.
He says they are higher than any building in Europe, except the Eiffel Tower.
The brilliant beacon of the Eiffel Tower sat high up in the sky, like an exile star.
The Eiffel Tower is in itself a gigantic lightning-conductor.
At the other end of the city, they gather round the Eiffel Tower, which now bears the highest artillery in the world.
The Eiffel Tower was my one danger, yet it was my winning-post!
erected in the Champ-de-Mars for the Paris Universal Exposition of 1889; at 984.25 feet the world's tallest structure at the time. Designed by French engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923).

User Feedback(Page 1 of 2, 24 total comments)
Does it work without the included diet plan? I am wanting to do this, but have some questions...Does the intensity change based on the length of the challenge I choose? Also, has anyone used it for purely exercise without using the diet plan? I cook for a family and do not want to subject everyone to such sparse meals.
I am enjoying this video game a lot. I am going to buy the balance board to use with it, though it works fine without it. I feel like I am getting a great workout, and I can keep track of my calories too.
I have a problem with The Biggest Loser Challenge Game its about the weigh in I have been weighing in on every Thursday and I weighed on this Thursday like it told me to which I did and now it wants me to weigh in again on Friday whats the deal?Does it want more results or How do you make your weight for the week final?
what are the weigh ins like? Its really a good game but i don't know what the weigh ins are like because its kind of hard for me to lose weight cause i weigh 110 and i dont want to be eliminated the firsst round.
I have been on this routine for 4 wks and have lost 12 lbs.
really gets your heart pumping and leaves your muscles burning. Progressively picks up intensity! Great game
So many of the workouts aren't recognized when I am doing them. Kind of like Jillian Michaels Ultimate Fitness.
I like so far but just do not know how to get to the BELLY BUSTER program.
How do you weigh yourself on the Wii board using the Biggest Loser Challenge?
hi, i rlly want to know if this game tracks your weight? i find that motivated me more if it does thnks!
I love the biggest loser wii game. I have lost 2 lbs. i n the first week. It is definitely a challenge. I have a gym membership, but it is so hard for me to find the time to get to the gym. I always feel so rushed for time getting home from work at 6pm, cooking supper, clothes, etc. working out at home with the BL wii game is perfect. My husband & I both do it.
i have the biggest loser wii and so far i've lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks i like the feeling of my b/fs money is going to use. it makes me more and more happy every week when i weight myself and see results. it seems weird to say it but the biggest loser wii is more usefull then going to the gym. when i was going to the gym i didnt lose anything then i did the biggest loser wii i started to see results. i think its the fact is it works out everything and they tell you what to do. unlike going to the gym you have no clue unless you work with a personal trainer and thats more money your spending so yes the wii biggest loser is much cheaper and affective then going to the gym.
I just bought this game last week. I have never seen the show The Biggest Loser, but I have seen Jillian and I find her quite motivational. I also chose it because it seemed like it would be more fun than a more generic workout game. I immediately set up a personal profile and it is amazing how closely it resembles me. It really motivates me to see "me" on the screen. I like the exercises and I like that you can tailor it to your preferences, e.i. workout in the pagoda or by the pool. As you said, the difficulty level is very accurate also. I have taken one of the challenges and it was fun. Overall, I am enjoying the game.
I have a few complaints and questions though. After taking the fitness test I created my character and chose the recommended workout schedule. However, I have not figured out a way to change the schedule. I want to workout four days a week, but on certain days I am too busy to do workouts. I have not figured out a way to limit my routine to specific days. I also don't see a way to view previous days in the calendar. Are there features that allows you to do this? I am also wondering if there is a way to upgrade your daily workout. On the weekends I have time to do a longer workout, but I limited it to 20 minutes because that is all I have time for on the weekdays. Sure you can add an extra routine, but then you go through two warm ups and two cool downs. Additionally, I am confused by the trophies/awards. Do you earn anything by unlocking them? It would be cool if it opened up another area of the game or something. Maybe they are just a motivational tool, and that is neat but they don't include anything about them in the booklet, so I am unsure. Another complaint I have is there does not seem to be a way to eliminate specific exercises from the routine. Two years ago, I tore a ligament skiing. I can't do the exercises that require a lot of jumping. Rather than do them wrong and lower my score, I would rather replace them with exercises I could do. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an option to do this. Another thing I found wrong, was the fact that the 20 and 30 minute routines are not actually that time length. After I chose and finished what was supposed to be a 20 minute routine, the stats at the end said it was 26 minutes. The same thing happened for a 30 minute routine. I have a tight schedule and if I choose a particular time for a routine, it is because that is all the time I have. I don't want it to be 20 minutes give or take 6 minutes. Another thing which could have been improved is when you complete the routine the screen just abruptly goes to the stats. I think the trainer should give you some encouragement or some feedback about your performance for the routine before just switching to the next screen.
Even though it sounds like I have a lot of complaints, these are just areas where I have questions or feel like the game could have been improved. Overall, I am really enjoying doing the workouts.
i got the black wii for christmas and i bought biggest loser wii game. and i was wondering if anyone could tell me this. When it says to put your calorie intake for breakfast and all that. I put the number in but it wont record it. i push to A button on the controller to confirm it and nothing ever happens.. and when i press the back space it deletes it. Can anyone help
i want information
I want to enter my calories the next day (in the morning) I like to write them down during the day and then in the morning when I get up to do excersises I would like to be able to enter all my calories in from the previous day. Does anyone know if this can be done? As of right now I can't figure it out. I can only enter the calories for that day on that day and I sometimes can't but could if I could do it the next morning. Any help would be appreciated.
I like the workouts but i really don't like the weekly weigh in. I didn't realize that it was not calculating your weight on the scale but your characters weight. I thought and am still unsure if that is how it's supposed to be. Imagine my HUGE disappointment when after a week of counting cals perfectly and doing the exercise routines and really pushing it, the weigh in said I had lost 4 lbs, but then over to the left it had an area for current weight loss and it said 0 lbs. So was the 4 lbs weight loss my characters?????? When she stepped on the scale it had another weight, not mine, so I guess it was just the characters info. I don't know. I'm completely confused and enormously let down.

2010 Geneva Show: Aston Martin Cygnet Concept Shown in New Colors, Including Gulf Livery
posted by Stuart Fowle on 2 March 2010 in 2010 Geneva Auto Show Automotive News
Relying on Japanese industry giant Toyota for parts is nothing new for the British automotive industry–Lotus has been sourcing its engines from the company for a decade now. And it makes more sense then ever now; who is more synonymous with surprising speed than Toyota? But now, Aston Martin has gone one step further, sourcing not just engines, but entire vehicles, save a few body panels.
Aston didn't really say anything new about the car here at Geneva, but it is the car's first official public appearance. As the company has said before, the Cygnet is a design exploration used to gauge customer interest in a small city car to use as backup for whatever Aston each customer might have in the garage. It's also a great way to raise the company's average fuel economy, which isn't great at the moment. The Cygnet would only be sold to existing AM customers, keeping it more exclusive than if it were just offered to anyone looking for a cheap way to buy into the badge. See it now in yellow, purple, silver, and yes, Gulf blue and orange, by clicking to the right.

Afraid of trash can with wheels. Help me fix this please.
I have 1 year old GSD. She's afraid of trash can. I tried to fix this. So far I can get her to sit and lie down next to the trash can, but whenever I touch or push trash can she breaks position and run away. I call her back and she won't obey the command. Every week I have to move trash cans to the street, and bring them back in front of the house next morning.
Another thing is Irobot, but I want to fix the trash can first because I'm planing to get BH title with her.
Please anyone?

Wow - This is like a assignment, but for austerity I will try to answer your questions. Because we had success we continued to follow the process as I outlined. We only scuff for mechanical adhesion adhering to the 72 hour window. I still have a few bodies that like you say sealing isn't necessary. When we used chemical strippers we always use a DA after to remove any bit and pieces left behind. The rep opinion at that time was - that we may have trapped thinners into the substrates, because the paint at that time was so hot that it burt into the substart and then flash off before the thinners could evaporate. That's why he recommended sealing with a epoxy. The car actually when into storage for quite a long time before taking it to Arizona where it set in the hot sun and broke out covered with bumps. Funny thing when the sun went down the bumps almost disappeared. When we got back to Montana and took down to the metal bit by bit to see what happened and there wasn't any signs of rust. Montana is a fairly dry state and this particular car had very little rust anywhere. After shipping we always DA for mechanical adhesion. It was a complete tear it down take it appart restoration. Prior to using this poly we always used enamel so this was quite the shock. Luckly, we never had this kind of problem again and we continued to poly paint. Thanks for you input hope this answers your questions.

My wife and son are used to me wanting to sit against with my back preferably to a wall and if in a booth I prefer the outside seat. Otherwise just pay attention to what's going on, most of the time I don't have much of a say in where they seat me.
My back doesn't HAVE to be against a wall, but I always make sure I face the door...I like to see those entering.OMO
No more paranoid that it is when I try to walk on the lighted side of the street instead of the dark when possible.
As a few have said, I don't really obsess about it. Now I do it without realizing.
I went to a new restaurant with a friend of mine in a bigger city than I'm used to that has quite a bit of gang activity. I went to sit in a far back corner, by a fire exit with my back to the wall so that I could see everything and have a quick escape, if needed. I sat down first, and my buddy came over (who also carries) to sit for about 3 seconds before he asked me if I wanted to change seats. I didn't give it a second thought until he asked. I don't obsess about it, it just feels right. We wound up sitting at another table that was sitting diagonally in the room so that we both had the same view and one family to our backs.
I'm not going to lie, I usually sit where I can see people walking in. Not because I'm afraid of something terrible happening, I just love to people watch.
When I walk in I look for any exits and cover if needed. I always make sure I can see the door from where I sit. Before sitting down I take a look around to get my bearings straight. I can have normal conversations with multiple people at dinner but will still look up everytime the door opens. It has become a natural occurence to me and nobody notices. I just like to be prepared. Living in South Dakota/Iowa/Minnesota area not much happens here but I have trained myself to be ready in all situations.
I always sit against the wall in the furthest table. I put the wife in the seat between me and the door (b***h has been bad-mouthing Sarah Palin lately, she's expendable!) I keep a close eye on all of the Arab and Hispanic waiters, ready to bust a cap on their terrorist a***s without hesitation, Be prepared for the rug rats too, they have all been taught to be liberals at their pinko schools so they are legitimate targets. Don't worry, I am going to make you all proud that I have an HCP.
Above is sarcasm. I hope you knew that! If I go to a restaurant, I go there to relax and eat. I keep my alert level at yellow, which I am at all times anyways, but I try to use "herd tactics" by being in the middle of the floor and in the busiest section. If you think about it, you are probably not going to be able to fire without becoming the main "killer of innocents" in the scenario anyways.
I like to find the alternate exits, but that's because I'm a firefighter and have done a lot of research in college on large fires that killed many people, and it's just good safety. Most deaths occurred from the "caveman" mentality where you exit the same way you came in because that's the only way you know how. The Station Night Club fire a few years ago is a prime example, bodies piled to the top of the doorway in the front, rear door was wide open and only a few exited that way. Around 100 people died.
In other terms I generally like to face the entrance just because, but it's not a big deal.
I'm a single guy, I'm more likely to sit with an unimpeded view of an attractive female that a view with emergency exit doors or potential bad guys. I always keep an eye and ear on my surroundings but I did that even before carrying a gun. Im observant and maybe a little nosey!
And I'll tell you what, if I'm sitting at a Red Robin (I've never been to one that wasn't jam packed) and a raging inferno breaks out or something that would require everyone to exit the building immediately I'm not gonna funnel through a couple of exit doors with 200+ other people.
I ALWAYS ask for a booth/against the wall. 99% of the time I get it.
since you cannot legally carry in resturaunts that serve alcohol i dont care, just another lamb
If I'm carrying my firearm, I just enter a restaurant, sit, eat, and enjoy my meal. I've been doing that for 38 years now. Keeps my blood pressure low and I'm still alive.
I try to sit where I cannot be approached from behind and have been known to ask for a different table if one is available. If I'm with my wife and strategic seating is not available, we agree to watch each others back sectors. When I drive up to the restaurant it's usually pretty easy to see where the kitchen door is located and I make a mental note. Upon entering I note the locations of things like the restrooms, payphones, alternate exits, and the entrance into the kitchen. I particularly note where all the rowdy people are. Teenagers, large groups, or families with kids. Not that they're dangerous, but noise is not my friend. After my "mental snapshot" of the place I'm ready to have a good time. After playing "what if..." hundreds of times one gets to see the similarities in restaurant design and group dynamics. Patterns start to emerge. Here is something to take note of. In a shooting it may be faster to escape through the kitchen if the action is at the front. If it's a fire, it has likely started in the kitchen and is well involved before you became aware of it so that would be the exit to avoid. Also, I'm not above putting a chair through a window if need be.

State breifs 5/1
Hawaii Legislature OKs more gun background checks
HONOLULU — The Hawaii Legislature has passed a bill requiring background checks for people who are registering guns that they purchased in other states.
Both the Democratic House and Senate approved the measure Tuesday.
Senate Minority Leader Sam Slom criticized the bill. He says Second Amendment rights can't be compared to the privilege of getting a driver's license.
Majority Floor Leader Sen. Will Espero says he doesn't know why Slom objected. He says the bill merely closes a loophole in existing state law which requires background checks for gun owners in Hawaii.
The Hawaii Rifle Association has supported the proposal, saying criminals do try to register firearms. The gun rights advocacy group effectively shot down every other gun control measure introduced this session.
Hawaii Senate approves bill to develop school land
HONOLULU — The Hawaii Legislature has approved a bill to create a pilot project that allows the state to lease public school lands to raise money for school repairs and maintenance.
The Senate voted Tuesday to pass the bill. The House is also debating the measure.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie has been pushing the so-called 21st Century Schools proposal to help the state upgrade its schools, which are an average of 65 years old.
Sen. Jill Tokuda says the bill allows just three projects in five years. She says the bill doesn't fast-track development.
Critics worry that the proposal is another version of the state's Public Land Development Corp., which Abercrombie abolished recently in response to public criticism of its broad powers to develop state lands.
Hawaii Senate OKs bill for phased project approval
HONOLULU — The Hawaii Senate has approved a bill allowing the state Historical Preservation Division to approve projects in phases rather than all at once.
Advocates of the proposal say the new rules will make it easier for the state to start complex projects like new highways.
But nine of the Senate's 25 members opposed the bill. Several spoke out vigorously against the proposal on the floor including Sen. Clayton Hee, Sen. Laura Thielen and Sen. Sam Slom.
Thielen says that phased approval would put unnecessary pressure on the division to OK projects that are already underway because developers could lose money.
The House passed the bill earlier this session. Rep. Kaniela Ing said Tuesday that the proposal was in the Senate's hands completely and urged the chamber to kill the bill.

Canada's largest medical regulator is reviewing its policy on physicians and the human rights code, a document that wrestles with a thorny question: When can a doctor refuse to treat a patient on religious or moral grounds?
The review by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is a regularly scheduled revisiting of the policy, which was last updated amid controversy in 2008.
But the checkup also comes a few months after word spread online and in the mainstream media of a form letter distributed by three Ottawa doctors who declined to prescribe birth control because of their "religious values," a rare example of physicians openly refusing – in writing – to provide services for religious reasons.
In another case that surfaced this week, a Calgary woman posted to Facebook a picture of a sign on the door of a walk-in clinic that read: "Please be informed the physician on duty today will not prescribe the birth control pill," although the sign did not explain why.
Both incidents throw into sharp relief an issue that medicine's self-regulatory bodies across Canada have tried to deal with in the abstract through policy statements that differ around the margins, but essentially protect physicians' rights to refuse treatment for religious or moral reasons in non-emergency situations.
The college's 2008 revision originally suggested physicians would have to park their values at the door or face possible discipline, but a backlash from doctors, including the Ontario Medical Association, persuaded the college to water down its proposal.
Marc Gabel, the president of the CPSO, said it's too early to say how the policy might evolve this time.
"While the world has changed, it doesn't necessarily mean that the policy will change if it still takes care of professional responsibilities in a way that serves the public of Ontario," Dr. Gabel said.
The college has opened its website for comments about the policy until Aug. 5, after which a working group will produce a revised draft policy by late this year or early next.
So far, the call for comments has prompted a fierce online debate, much of it centred on the Ottawa letter.
A picture of the letter began ricocheting around the Internet in February, when Kate Desjardins, a married 25-year-old supermarket clerk, posted it to a feminist group's Facebook page and then recounted the incident in a post on the website xoJane.
When Ms. Desjardins visited the Ottawa walk-in clinic where she had been refilling her birth control prescription for two years, she received a letter from the receptionist that read: "Please be advised that because of reasons of my own medical judgment as well as professional ethical concerns and religious values, I only provide one form of birth control, Natural Family Planning. In addition, I do not provide for vasectomies, abortions nor do I prescribe the morning-after pill or any artificial contraception."
The letter, signed by Dr. Edmond Kyrillos, went on to say patients looking for artificial contraception could see their family doctor or ask to be seen by another physician, but Ms. Desjardins said no other doctors were on duty at the clinic that day.
"I was in total shock when I read it," she recalled by e-mail this week.
"I think it is outrageous that doctors have the right to deny things like birth control. I believe if they plan on being in a profession that helps other people, they need to leave their morals at the door," she wrote.
Rene Leiva and Agnes Tanguay, two other doctors at CareMedics, a chain of Ottawa walk-in clinics, had also been refusing to prescribe birth control.
Meghan O'Brien, a lawyer with the firm Gowlings representing the three doctors, said by e-mail that the physicians have structured their medical practices to protect the best interest of their patients without sacrificing their own beliefs. "Their right to do so is protected by the Charter, as well as consistent with CPSO policy and [Canadian Medical Association] position statements. To require physicians to 'check their beliefs at the door' is unconstitutional."
The CPSO's current policy on physicians and the human rights code advises physicians to "proceed cautiously" when refusing a service on religious or moral grounds because doctors could run afoul of the Ontario Human Rights Code.
The CPSO has a set of "expectations" it asks physicians to meet when refusing treatment, including communicating clearly and promptly about their refusal to provide certain services; explaining all clinical options based on the patient's clinical needs and concerns; behaving respectfully to patients they decline to treat; and advising potential patients that they can see another doctor.
"The College will consider the extent to which a physician has complied with this guidance, when evaluating whether the physician's behaviour constitutes professional misconduct," the policy says.Report Typo/Error

Box Score | Notes | AP Photo Gallery | UC Photo Gallery
Highlights | Postgame Video Recap | Gates Postgame Reaction | Coach Cronin Interview | Postgame Press Conference | CBS Interviews - Coach Cronin & Dixon | Sweet 16 Gear | Regional Ticket Info
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Dion Dixon and the Cincinnati Bearcats are making it an Ohio party in the NCAA tournament, giving the Buckeye State four teams in the final 16.
Next up, the sixth-seeded Bearcats play Ohio State for only the second time since beating the Buckeyes in 1961 and 1962 for back-to-back national championships.
Dixon stole the ball and dunked to put Cincinnati ahead for good with 1:32 left, and the Bearcats edged No. 3 seed Florida State 62-56 Sunday night to reach their first regional semifinal in the NCAA tournament since 2001.
Cincinnati (26-10) will play No. 2 seed Ohio State in Boston on Thursday night in the East Regional, joining Xavier and Ohio in the second weekend. The Bearcats and Ohio State last played on Dec. 16, 2006, when Ohio State won 72-50 in Indianapolis in the Wooden Tradition. That was the only time the former state rivals have played since Cincinnati's championship game wins.
"It's an accomplishment for us considering everything we've been through all year," Dixon said. "To make it to the Sweet 16 is just unreal."
The Bearcats now have won five of six, reaching their first Big East tournament championship game as well.
Sean Kilpatrick scored 18 points and Dixon finished with 15. Yancy Gates had 10 and Jaquon Parkergrabbed 11 rebounds.
Florida State (25-10) had its six-game winning streak snapped. The Seminoles won their first Atlantic Coast Conference tournament title this season are heading home short of the NCAA regional semifinal they reached a year ago.
"As physical as it was, it got to the point where I mean, I think the refs had to not call a lot of things," Florida State senior Bernard James said. "I don't think we handled that too well, me in particular. I shot a much lower percentage than I normally shoot, especially point-blank jump hooks and layups."
Luke Loucks led the Seminoles with 14 points. James and Michael Snaer both scored 11.
This game featured 19 lead changes and 11 ties, and neither team led by more than three in the second half until the Bearcats scored seven straight points. Kilpatrick hit a free throw to tie it at 50, then Dixon stole the ball on a careless pass from Loucks in front of the Cincinnati bench as Florida State tried to bring the ball up court. Dixon took off and slammed down a dunk to give Cincinnati the lead.
"I got a steal, it was just me and the basket," Dixon said. "I saw nobody else, and I went up and dunked it. It kind of sparked us a little bit."
Cronin called that the play of the game, with the Bearcats needing every steal possible to combat Florida State's size in the paint.
"That was a tremendous play on his part, reading the pass and tremendous anticipation," Cronin said.
Cashmere Wrighthit a jumper, and Gates added two free throws for a 56-50 lead with 35.3 seconds left. The Bearcats sealed it by hitting all eight free throws in the final 35.3 seconds.
"After Dion got that dunk, we knew the game would come down to making free throws, so our focus got onto defense and free throws. So I think that enabled us to step up to the line and knock them down," Gates said.
Florida State had trouble holding onto the ball, too, with 13 of its 17 turnovers coming on steals by Cincinnati. The Bearcats turned those into 19 points.
Snaer said it was shocking how much the Seminoles struggled to hang onto the ball because the coaches warned them about how Cincinnati likes to pressure and go for steals. They just weren't ready for what they encountered on the court.
"Some guys didn't know how to handle it, and they got away with some strips," Snaer said. "We just weren't concentrating and protecting the ball the way we should have."
Cincinnati said before the game that Florida State would fit right in the Big East with its stingy defense, and this game looked just like a conference battle.
Florida State last led 50-49 on a pair of free throws by Loucks with 2:09 left after Gates' fourth personal foul of the game. That's when the Bearcats took over.
The first half gave a glimpse of what the final 20 minutes would be.
Snaer hit back-to-back 3's within the first 3 minutes after the Seminoles' leading scorer was shut out in their opening win over St. Bonaventure. Snaer missed on a couple of airballs, but he still had nine points by halftime.
Florida State led 26-25 at the break largely thanks to a quick six points keyed by senior Deividas Dulkys. The guard from Lithuania hit a 3-pointer, then had a pair of steals.

The news out of both Washington and Frankfort on all fronts has reached critical mass towards a literal meltdown in all aspects of our society: economic and moral, civilian and military and in both domestic and foreign policy. The breakdown is pervasive and systemic.
The Democrat Party has driven us to the brink of ruin.
Now, for the sake of the nation and the world, we must make a 180-degree change of direction. In our form of government we have only two choices, Democrat and Republican. At this late hour it has become apparent to more and more thinking voters that we must turn the reins of government over to the Republican Party or face ruin.
When I moved to Paducah in 1965, there was only one choice: you registered Democrat. If you registered Republican, you lost the franchise. Over time that has changed. Today the Republican Party fields knowledgeable, well-qualified candidates for most every partisan office. Here's the line-up in the Paducah area:
U.S. Senate - Mitch McConnell
U.S. House - Ed Whitfield
Kentucky Senate - Danny Carroll
Kentucky House 3rd District - Randy Bridges
Kentucky House 4th District - Lynn Belcher
Kentucky House 1st District - Steven Rudy
Kentucky House 6th District - Keith Travis
County Clerk - Becky Bowers
If ever there was an urgent need for new leadership at all levels it is now. To implement that need, every eligible citizen has a vital responsibility to vote in November. This may well be our last chance before the present administrations in Washington and Frankfort turn us into a liberal, socialist, banana republic for the next 25 years.
The stage is set. The time is now. Vote Republican in November.

i did this in 5 minutes:
what you think?
Yep, that's cool, man
I'd be thrilled to see how you hacked wp for this!
Awesome, can you share
So useful Roberto!
Can you please share how you did that?
Loved the idea
Realease that as a WP plugin on CC to be honest! You should rack the sales up!
Ok, thanks, realy is very easy to do. I use only jQ and some css.
First you need to ensure to enqueue js and css only and just ONLY for the widgets page, and run js only and just only for that DIV items. If no widget page, and if no DIV , no js will be called.
That´s the most important thing in order to not cause any conflict between the rest of the wp admin files and scripts.
So i have a js and a css for that part enqueued in to admin, something like this:
global $pagenow;
if (is_admin() && $pagenow === 'widgets.php'){
wp_enqueue_script('custom_js_for_widgets', THEME_OPTIONS_URI . '/js/pp_meta.js');
wp_enqueue_style('custom_css_for_widgets', THEME_OPTIONS_URI . '/css/pp_meta.css');
The above, is on admin and on widgets page, do the enqueue.
Then, on the widgets page you have mainly two areas:
widgets-right > .widgets-holder-wrap (this can be opened or closed)
widgets-right > .widgets-holder-wrap / #[widget-slug-name]
- is the ID widget takes from the name you put when registering the widget sidebar area.
So, let´s say you have a widget sidebar called "my-new-sidebar", well, in order to access that item you need to call this way:
Doing that what we are doing is adding the .widget-cian class to the parent .widget-holder-wrap. Just because that´s the parent widget dragable entire DIV .
Doing that, you can colorize any widget. But also you can then selecte or not it, this way:
$t('#widgets-right .widgets-holder-wrap:not(".widget-cian")').hide();
That code will tell jQ to hide all widgets but not the cian ones… That´s the basics on how i made the Expand Collapse and the Show/hide thing.
Also i prepend some html (links and text) on the very widget right area using jq:
var rightDiv_html = "";
$t("#widgets-right").prepend('Expand All');
And of course then i tell the #expand_div to do the function:
$t("#widgets-right .widgets-holder-wrap.closed .sidebar-name").trigger('click');
return false;
That´s the expander, i tell all widgets to trigger a click on the sidebar-name, that´way i expand all.
Note the .closed class.. I need to trigger them only if they are closed, because in this case i want to expand all, and if widget is already opened i do not need to trigger the click function. When widget is opened it just don´t have the .closed class.
I do same, using not() and the widget-color class assinged, to trigger click and hide.
I do some hide() or show() to hide or show all "orange" or all "cian" ones.
Well, that´s the basic idea, i don´t have time to post the entire code and explain it step by step, but i´m sure if you have a minimal knoweldge on the wp core and some jq, that´s all you need.
Thanks a lot for the hint in the right direction!
Its a loooot more fun to figure the rest out by myself!

Did You Know?
Peculiar comes from Latin peculiaris, an adjective meaning "privately owned" or "special" that is derived from the word for "property," peculium. Those words are cognate with pecu, a word for "cattle" that is also etymologically linked to a few English words related to money. Among these are pecuniary ("of or relating to money"), peculate ("to embezzle"), and impecunious ("having very little or no money"). Peculiar borrowed the Latin meanings of peculiaris, but it eventually came to refer to qualities possessed only by a particular individual, group, or thing. That sense is commonly followed by the preposition to, as in "a custom peculiar to America." In time, peculiar was being used specifically for unusual qualities, as well as the individuals that possessed them, which led to the word's "odd," "curious," and "eccentric" senses.

Great review, thanks.
The improvements look great, but the graphics acceleration support is a bit disappointing! Even the old 7600GT nVidia cards support use as a GPGPU, it'd be a shame to not see video acceleration on the consumer-level kit, like the 9400m's in so many macbooks/mac minis.
It is a little annoying, although there will allegedly be a wider range of supported cards as the software matures. I also tested on a system with a Quadro FX 1700 and that didn't supply hardware acceleration. I wonder if there's a feature on the newer GPUs which is required, or it could just be the age-old issue of driver/hardware qualification. With professionally-oriented applications, stability is more important than performance, so the range of hardware is limited to a small subset which there is time/budget to test thoroughly for accreditation.
Thanks James, your last point makes a lot of sense.
I'm running PrPro CS4 on a 2009 Mac Mini at the moment, and AVCHD editing is smooth, even though the 'auto quality' playback preview gives a few artefacts. Not really an issue, as I'm editing interviews, not Top Gear! I'm interested to see if they brought this acceleration to After Effects too - are you planning any more Adobe reviews from CS5?
The acceleration does apply to After Effects CS5 too, although you'd need a supercomputer to make After Effects play back many of its capabilities in real time! Maybe one day. We don't have a review planned at the moment, but if there is sufficient interest... The other video apps haven't seen much change for CS5.
Hi James.
How does this latest version of Premiere compare to the two big hitters Avid and Final Cut Pro? Given the choice of a free copy of any of these three suites, which would you go for personally, and why?
I have been using Premiere for years and had actually become more and more frustrated with it. I stopped upgrading on CS3 as I lost confidence in Adobe. However, with CS5 I was impressed with the feature list and decided to give it one last chance. It has turned into a nightmare for me and I will never again cut a film on this program. Initially it appeared to work like a dream, but I have encountered glitch after glitch, with the helpdesk unable to offer any insightful advice to resolve my issues. The main problem has been with audio. I have been using the Panasonic SD700. CS5 coped with the video very well, top marks for this, but random glitches were heard in the audio that were not present on the source footage and which followed all the way through to output. I had to find a long winded work around that involved encoding all footage using Cineform. However, Premiere then presented another unexplainable problem - it would not inport any footage in Cineform codec over 4 minutes in length. I have since found another complex workaround for this. I am just about finished my latest film and will certainly never be returning to Premiere once again after this. There are more competent, reliable and professional software solutions out there.
@colonelclaw I actually have free copies of Premiere Pro CS5, Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro, and the one I use regularly is Premiere Pro. However, this is in large part because I've been using Premiere since version 1.1. The latest version of Final Cut is excellent, and if I owned a decent Mac I'd be sorely tempted. I find Media Composer a little more difficult to get to grips with, but until the Mercury Playback Engine came along it was the most fluid PC editing app around in terms of scrubbing etc. The latest version of Media Composer also has similar video format compatibility to Premiere Pro CS5. With NVIDIA hardware, though, CS5 is the more fluid editing platform right now.
@McDermott Movies Sorry to hear about your problems. What video format did you shoot with the Panasonic SD700? Was it 50p? If so, this is a slightly unusual format, and not AVCHD. I do have some Panasonic 50p footage somewhere here I can try. But I've been editing all of TR's videos on CS5 for a couple of months now, and must say that it's the most stable, dependable Premiere Pro I've personally ever used. I'm mostly editing HDV footage.
Not equipped with Stabilizer is a big no, no. CS5.5 mercury engine in 64 bit on a i7 Quad Core 64 bit was sluggish compared with 32 bit Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 and to use a legacy driver for HDV/mpeg-2 should not be needed, sent it back as it did not perform as good as Premiere Pro 1.5.1 for HDV which is 4 years old, nor did i think timeline operations with H.264 mov clips was that exciting. I'll think about it when the bugs are taken out, it is too sluggish ?What about an Video Stabilizer instead of having to invest in After Effects ?

Paris 2-0 Marseille Published at
Ancelotti: 'A good result'
Check out all the reactions from the Paris camp after their 2-0 Ligue 1 triumph over Marseille in Sunday's Clasico at the Parc des Princes.
Carlo Ancelotti (Paris Saint-Germain coach)
"It's a good result, despite a very difficult game. These three points are very important because they increase the gap to Marseille to eight points tonight. They caused us a lot of problems tonight. We defended very deep, but it wasn't necessarily by choice. We should have controlled things better, even if we did carve out some clear cut chances. Beckham played because he was ready and some other players needed to rest. Maybe David Beckham will play on Wednesday in the Coupe de France."
Salvatore Sirigu (Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper)
"It was a good game, very spectacular and a lot of fun for the fans. It is a very special match and we prepared well. Both teams threw everything into the battle and played with heart. After our loss to Sochaux last weekend, we wanted to bounce back immediately. David Beckham showed his worth out on the pitch tonight."
Sylvain Armand (Paris Saint-Germain defender)
"Even if playing agaisnt Marseille is always something special, this one was extra special because it was my 400th in Ligue 1. With the win to top it off, I couldn't have dreamed of better. I'm happy to have won because tonight was three very important points."
David Beckham (Paris Saint-Germain midfielder)
"I'm delighted this evening, especially with the win. We have played better than this, but the most important thing was to get the win. Today was a perfect day! Not just because I became the 400th player in the club's history, but because I play in a very special side. The welcome I received from the fans was incredible and I'd like to thank them for that."

Boxing News
Let's Get It On inks Gonzales
Courtesy Jim Jenkins, Sacramento Bee
Sacramento super-middleweight Brandon Gonzales (8-0, 7 KOs), once top-ranked as an U.S. amateur boxer, has signed a multi-year contract with Let's Get It On Promotions of Reno to develop his professional career. The company, expanding its stable of fighters, was started by former Nevada-based referee Mills Lane and is operated by sons Terrance and Thomas. In making the announcement Wednesday, Gonzales said the deal will allow him to continue to continue to train locally with veteran cornerman Ray Woods and occasionally fight in Sacramento where, along with fellow former Olympic aspirant Stan Martyniouk, he is regarded as one of the area's brightest prospects.
