Baltimore is one of 35 U.S. cities that received letters Tuesday from the United States Olympic Committee gauging interest in bidding for the 2024 Summer Games.
"I'm excited that Baltimore is being considered and that we've been invited to bid," Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said Tuesday afternoon. "It's way too early to say what we're going to do. But I think it's a testament to the work that we're doing, shining a spotlight on Baltimore as a sports city."
"We would like to begin having discussions with interested cities about possible bid themes as well as the infrastructure, financial resources and other assets that are required to host the Games," wrote Blackmun. "Our objective in this process is to identify a partner city that can work with us to present a compelling bid to the [International Olympic Committee] and that has the right alignment of political, business and community leadership."
Blackmun wrote that hosting the Olympics is "an extraordinary undertaking for any city." The event has an operating budget of more than $3 billion. He said a host city would need an airport, 45,000 hotel rooms, an Olympic Village, operations space for more than 15,000 media members, adequate public transportation, and a workforce of up to 200,000.
The letter states that the committee's overture to host cities does not guarantee the U.S. will bid for the 2024 Games. The committee said it has more than two years to decide whether to bid.
Atlanta was the last U.S. city to host a Summer Games, in 1996. Salt Lake City staged the 2002 Winter Games.

Wishful thinking? Egypt's investment minister banking on billions worth of foreign investments
Egypt's newly appointed investment minister Ashraf Salman said he targets $10 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) for the coming fiscal year and $14 billion in three years.
Egypt had been hit by an economic crisis following a 2011 uprising that ousted autocratic Hosni Mubarak. Since then, the state's successive governments have been trying to steer a course between boosting revenues without discouraging investors.
FDI for Egypt's first nine months of the 2013-14 fiscal year that starts on July 1 stood at $4.4 billion. It was $3 billion in the year ended June 2013, almost $1 billion less than in the previous year.
"I need FDI. It has a magical effect in creating jobs and lowering poverty," said Salman, a veteran banker speaking in a late TV interview with Egypt's private CBC TV on Saturday.
He said he wants to attract more FDI by passing legislation to help businesses and minimising bureaucracy.
Salman also hinted he was not intending to reverse a decision by the state earlier this month to impose a new 10 per cent tax on dividends and share transactions' gains that sent the country's bourse to records low.
Salman said the issue was discussed with the market before a decision was made. After the law went into effect, the market rebounded, he noted.
Salman was appointed last week in a limited cabinet reshuffle that followed the election of former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as president.
The decision to appoint a separate investment minister reverses a decision this year to merge the ministry with that of industry and trade, a move that shows Sisi's keen to attract foreign funds back to stimulate the economy.
Sisi had last year ousted elected Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in reaction to mass unrest against his rule.
Mursi's downfall prompted a wave of violence and protests that deepened the economic crisis. Sisi's Gulf Arab allies have sent billions of dollars in aid to Egypt after Mursi's fall which analysts said had saved Egypt from bankruptcy.

Not white enough to be European,

the white Maori,
education wasn't a relief.
Not brown enough for the Maori's,
many traditional values have been lost,
seen as a traitor to the cause,
living the white way has it's cost.
I'm seen as an plastic Maori,
because I've been urbanized,
constantly burned at both ends,
because I won't pick a side.
There is no middle ground,
a side has to be chosen,
so long have they been fighting,
I don't want there poison.
Not white enough, not brown enough,
not even allowed to be in the middle,
so I will just be a kiwi,
because finding balance is a hard riddle.

Reviews of Bird's Underwater
Dear Birds, I can not express enough gratitude for the experience you provided for my family ! Captain Chris you are awesome and your passion for manatee's is intoxicating! It was magnificent to be a part of this experience with you! I will be returning with friends in the future as well as encouraging others to use your incredible service. The professional service that was very personal just as you would want! Thank you and keep up the incredible service! Please feel free to post this for others and use me as a reference anytime! James C Goodwin
Hello. I just wanted to let you know how much fun my family had when we recently visited "Birds". My husband, 3 kids and I kayaked out to the 3 sisters and were lucky enough to spend the afternoon with a manatee. It was a family moment that we will never forget. Thanks for your service, I'm so glad that Sue Oestreich referred me to visit ya'll.
ON 09/08/2010: Hello, I spoke to a lady this morning about our lost DVD and I cannot express to you how much it means to us that you are replacing it for us. It broke our hearts to learn that we had misplaced it. I have written you a glowing report on trip advisor and have already told everyone I know that your business and the services it provides are the most incredible experiences anyone could ever have. We have friends going to Florida in a few months and we have already talked them into joining you for a dip. Your tours were the highlight of our action packed honeymoon. My husband and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts again for first providing the opportunity to swim with the manatees and for your knowledgeable guide\'s expertise. Chris was fantastic. Can\'t thank you enough, Alycia and Erik M
This was our first experience of swimming with the manatee. Our captain, Rhonda, did a great job of preparing us for the adventure and instructing us on what we can do in their inhabitant. The snorkeling was amazing and the manatee were plentiful and playful. We were the first boat in the area and it was great to have the experience with a small group of people. Bird's has a appreciation for the animals and was very respectful of their environment. Rhonda also did a great job of getting everyone involved with the manatee. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone - especially in the December or January timeframe.
Amazing Ezperience!
forget the theme parks--- go swim with the manatees!!! my entire family thought this was the best part of our vacation. it was very humbling to be in a beautful river with these gental giants. one of those moments that make you say "WOW". captian hank was friendly and professional. we learned alot about the manatees, and had several encounters with them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Birds Underwater. Life is not about how many breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away...
This review is about a year late, but from the other reviews I see nothing has changed. We went out with the fine crew at Bird's as well as rented one of their houses (on the Hall's River). The trip was fantastic and the crew of course delivered a magnificent time. They tend to go out much earlier than the other boats, thus you get in before the crowd arrives. The river is crystal clear and of course getting to see the magnificent animals up close and personal is something you will remember for a lifetime. The house we stayed in was very neat and clean, nothing fancy but cheaper for us to stay at a house since we had a group of 7. It is right on a feeder to the Hall's river which is a beautiful little spot to explore via kayak (one is provided). All in all I can't say enough about Bird's.

Well I been reading the comments regarding Gino and some I agree with some I dont.
Gino is a very popular rider with the fans, a cheeky likeable fella who does ride on the edge, sometimes over it.
I think the problem moving to Moto2 this year has been a lack of testing. No testing was done with the 2012 Moriwaki/Showa Combo before the first round Qatar! Even after Mugello the other teams were out testing and there was no test for Gino. How can Gresini expect to find a good base setting for the Moto2 bike with the Suter/Showa combo when you are chasing a setup the rider likes in FP1 on race weekend (a 45 minute session) add to this that Gino has not riden half of the circuits so in FP1 he is trying to learn where the track go's and there is know way you are gonna be competitive. Even now when the Laguna round is on Luthi and Marquez are testing at Portimao. It must be so frustrating for Gino as he is getting the blame for Gresini's failing. The proof will be if another is given the chance to ride that Suter/Showa bike (Elias for example) and can't make it go any faster.
I hope Gino can get a ride in a team in any championship where he can show he is alot better than a 19th place finisher.

Ireland joined Portugal and Greece as the third euro-area nation to have its credit rating reduced to below investment grade as European Union finance ministers struggle to contain the regions sovereign-debt crisis.
Moodys Investors Service cut Ireland to Ba1 from Baa3, citing the probability that the country, which received a bailout last year, will need additional official financing and for investors to share in losses before it can return to the private market to borrow. The outlook remains negative, Moodys said in a statement late yesterday.
Irish bonds dropped for a sixth day today after the downgrade, which came after European finance ministers failed to present a solution to the contagion thats threatening to spread to Italy from the so-called peripheral euro-area states. Irelands debt agency said the downgrade will make it more difficult for Ireland to return to the market next year.
While Ireland has shown a strong commitment to fiscal consolidation and has, to date, delivered on the terms of its bailout, implementation risks remain significant, Moodys said in the statement.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
i don't like this school. don't know how decline kids. i really don't like it
This school is awful. They have 2 high sets of stairs that they don't even shovel for the kids and many have fallen and gotten hurt. I know I caught one child falling down them while I was walking back up them. School property should be managed "by the school". Kids parents send them to school very sick and spread their sickness to all others. And the school does nothing and wants them to come in like that. Not to mention head lice and just yesterday found out that my grandsons class has scabies 2 students and at least 1 teacher and the school still wants them to go in and catch it without taking precaution. Kids are at risk of getting hit and so many almost have since the parking is so crazy there. It's horrible someone should really investigate this school. PLEASE!!
They don't support enough so disappointed with the help this school provides my child!
My child been attending this school for two years he's in second grade doing preschool home work hasn't made any improvement at all ! They say they have testing going on for him but still I hear nothing back about the plan or outcome!!
A quality school dedicated not only to academics, but to the children themselves as individuals and as part of a community. Asa Messer School is a multi-cultural school that is planting the seeds of tolerance and good citizenship in today's inner city children. The principal and assistant principal are exceptional.

Lil Wayne Apologizes For Dancing All Over Old Glory
- Entertainment
Last we heard from Lil Wayne, he was in the hospital, reportedly on death's door, perhaps because of his drug of choice, Sizzurp. And today, he's back in the news, for dancing all over America (figuratively).
After TMZ posted cell phone footage of the rapper filming a video in New Orleans that shows him walking and rapping on top of a fallen American flag.
Weezy took to Twitter to apologize, saying he never meant to desecrate the flag, and that the scene needed to filmed that way but in the final video, a special effect would show the flag disappearing behind him -- not him dancing on it.
The track, "God Bless Amerika," is off his forthcoming record I Am Not A Human Being II.

I also did 4hr 48 my worst ever time. I also found it very difficult after 17 miles, after which time I tried to enjoy the race as I knew I wouldn't get a decent time, agree the wind along the coastline was not nice at times. On the plus side there were lots of drinks station & food, and the view along the coast did allow me to forget about the pain in my legs!
Did Folkesworth last year, you park away from the start then they organise locals to get you to the race, it's a good 2 lap course with a few challening hills, you do need to arrive early but if that's going to put you off just dont do the race.
Been doing this event since 2006, this is definitely the best course,
there needs to be more people handing out bottled water.
I had no issue with the start pens
there seemed to be huge queues for the toilets as i made my way to the pen, i hope people managed to start on time!
Registered with a new gp yesterday and receptionist advised about the charge, looking forward to the run, but will think twice before doing a French race again. I'm glad its drizzly today, out for a 15 miler soon.
Training not been great as been moving house, but doing a half on sunday to see where i'm at , i'll be in the sub 4'15 group!

#2 How Heavily Will the Sabres Rely on the Draft?
Having engaged in many conversations with the fans, it is evident that there a lot of different opinions out there on how to rebuild this team. One philosophy is to lose games, stock up on draft picks, land prime draft slots and use the next two drafts to supplement the young hopefuls that the Sabres currently have. That's one approach – and it seems to be working marvelously for the Edmonton Oilers.
Another train of thought, the one I am the most in favor of, doesn't ignore the draft entirely, but also advocates that the Sabres attempt to land an established player or two to help speed up the rebuilding process. For example, instead of viewing Matt Moulson as one more bargaining chip to be used down the road to acquire yet another draft pick, why not treat the guy right, convince him that he is one of the players that Buffalo wishes to rebuild around, and get him to sign a long-term contract that keeps in the 716? Clearly, Moulson is a goal-scorer, so why ship him in the hopes of getting a young player who MIGHT become as good as him?
It may be too late to save face when it comes to Moulson – that benching in Anaheim was embarrassing, and wrong to boot – but there will be free agents available this summer, and there are trades still to make this year. Will the new regime continue to put its faith entirely in the draft, or decide to mix and match a bit more?

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
6 Reasons to Drink Water
Food with high water content tends to look larger, its higher volume requires more chewing, and it is absorbed more slowly by the body, which helps you feel full. Water-rich foods include fruits, vegetables, broth-based soups, oatmeal, and beans.
3. Water Helps Energize Muscles. Cells that don't maintain their balance of fluids and electrolytes shrivel, which can result in muscle fatigue. "When muscle cells don't have adequate fluids, they don't work as well and performance can suffer," says Guest.
Drinking enough fluids is important when exercising. Follow the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines for fluid intake before and during physical activity. These guidelines recommend that people drink about 17 ounces of fluid about two hours before exercise. During exercise, they recommend that people start drinking fluids early, and drink them at regular intervals to replace fluids lost by sweating.
4. Water Helps Keep Skin Looking Good. Your skin contains plenty of water, and functions as a protective barrier to prevent excess fluid loss. But don't expect over-hydration to erase wrinkles or fine lines, says Atlanta dermatologist Kenneth Ellner, MD.
"Dehydration makes your skin look more dry and wrinkled, which can be improved with proper hydration," he says. "But once you are adequately hydrated, the kidneys take over and excrete excess fluids."
You can also help "lock" moisture into your skin by using moisturizer, which creates a physical barrier to keep moisture in.
5. Water Helps Your Kidneys. Body fluids transport waste products in and out of cells. The main toxin in the body is blood urea nitrogen, a water-soluble waste that is able to pass through the kidneys to be excreted in the urine, explains Guest. "Your kidneys do an amazing job of cleansing and ridding your body of toxins as long as your intake of fluids is adequate," he says.
When you're getting enough fluids, urine flows freely, is light in color and free of odor. When your body is not getting enough fluids, urine concentration, color, and odor increases because the kidneys trap extra fluid for bodily functions.
If you chronically drink too little, you may be at higher risk for kidney stones, especially in warm climates, Guest warns.
6. Water Helps Maintain Normal Bowel Function. Adequate hydration keeps things flowing along your gastrointestinal tract and prevents constipation. When you don't get enough fluid, the colon pulls water from stools to maintain hydration -- and the result is constipation.
"Adequate fluid and fiber is the perfect combination, because the fluid pumps up the fiber and acts like a broom to keep your bowel functioning properly," says Koelemay.
5 Tips to Help You Drink More
If you think you need to be drinking more, here are some tips to increase your fluid intake and reap the benefits of water:
- Have a beverage with every snack and meal.
- Choose beverages you enjoy; you're likely to drink more liquids if you like the way they taste.
- Eat more fruits and vegetables. Their high water content will add to your hydration. About 20% of our fluid intake comes from foods.
- Keep a bottle of water with you in your car, at your desk, or in your bag.
- Choose beverages that meet your individual needs. If you're watching calories, go for non-caloric beverages or water.

Being ignorant of how you should live your lifestyle well and healthily could result to the downfall of having a physical condition. You need to keep in mind that in transmission of physical conditions, it is not about heredity all the time, rather it is partially about how you propose your own lifestyle and how you treat your body. You need to remember that you are not a dependent person, rather an independent one who is responsible of yourself. One good question you could ask yourself as logic over the topic is "could you stay healthy if you are engaging with vices?" Obviously not. In this case, heredity could be exempted, but still you are certain that a system or systems in your body would be affected largely.
You need to bear in mind that you would find it hard to escape a disease that could cause death. These conditions would just give you the last choice of lengthening your life in the best possible way. Apparently, this is your responsibility. Out of the most detrimental conditions you could get today, diabetes is one.
However, you should not lose hope since there are now diabetic meal plan guidelines that would give you necessary directions in assessing your lifestyle. To give you the tips, here are few:
Carbohydrate count is essential
In maintaining your diabetic meal plan, you need to remember that maintaining normal levels of your blood sugar is important. Apart from it, you need to budget the right amount of carbs to consume every day. For men, there would be a limitation of 45 to 60g of carbs per meal. On the other hand, for women, there would be 30g to 45g of carbs per meal.
Learn how to limit the foods you buy in the market.
You need to create a fridge full of healthy foods for your diabetic meal plan. You need to follow the tip of reading the nutritional labels of your foods for safety buying. On the other hand, in terms of food selection, you are allowed to buy veggies, fruits, yogurt, cheese, poultry, and omega-3 fish. You should avoid processed or lunch type meats. Moreover, low carb fruits and veggies are preferable. If you want additions, 5g of pepper, 5g of broccoli, and 3g of celery would be best. For seafoods, tuna, salmon, mackerel, and sardines would do.
Foods to prevent should be noted.
You need to remember that in a diabetic meal plan, the foods to eat are not the primary concerns. Instead, you would also need to consider the foods you should prevent or the opposites of your well defined foods. The first tip you could consider is avoiding imitation of seafoods. This food would give you large carb percentages. On the other hand, whipped toppings should be disliked starting today. These would give you trans fat and corn syrup content. Lastly, you should avoid snacking by eating hot dogs, sausages, as well as other fast foods or preserved meats.

Radio 2 New Comedy Award: Winner Q&A
Last Saturday night Angela Barnes won this year's Radio 2 New Comedy Award 2011, fending off strong competition from fellow finalists Joe Lycett, Tez Ilyas, Chris Turner, Mark Restuccia and Pat Cahill.
Written by Steve Saul. BBC Comedy Blog, 24th June 2011
On Saturday, the network took a tip from The X Factor with the live final of its New Comedy Award, presented by Patrick Kielty. Six hundred acts were boiled down to six, voted on by the audience. This being Radio 2, the audience sounded about as edgy as a Parent Teacher Association drinking Merlot, but that came as a relief to one comedian who said, "There's nothing worse than looking at the crowd and thinking I've got things in my medicine cabinet older than you." There was lots of encouraging applause and no one heckled. My favourite was the acerbic Joe Lycett, with his mordantly Frankie Howerd-esque story of a driving lesson in Manchester, but Pat Cahills ingenious rap about having your dog put down was also very good. The winner was Angela Barnes from Maidstone whose weapon was the one-liner ("It's no mistake that the anagram of Maidstone is I am Stoned - that's all there is to do!") and who should fit seamlessly into the throng of talented female comedians on radio and TV.
Angela Barnes wins BBC New Comedy Award
Angela Barnes, the winner of BBC Radio 2's New Comedy Award, has said she feels "vindicated" by her success, claiming some critics complained she had only made the final because the Corporation needed a female in the line-up.

Spinal Tap Tap Tap
They made a mistake of giving me a CD-Rom of the MRI pictures. Since we had a blizzard yesterday, I haven't gotten results yet. This means that I have been googling around looking at spinal conditions and comparing them to my spine for three days now. For a while I was sure I diagnosed prostate problems and maybe a penile hernia, but that turned out to be a dead-end.
Today, however, I loaded up the image viewer and discovered the real cause of all my back problems.
Look closely. Can you see it?
I am obviously suffering from a case of Pokemon Fever, at least a decade after it was fashionable. Alert the New England Journal of Medicine.

But if it was, I would be able to hook you up. I have been working for a Urology practice for the past 5 months. Penile implant anyone?ReplyDelete
HAHAHAHA!!!!! That's awesome!ReplyDelete
are you sure it wasn't a penile erection lasting over 4 hours?ReplyDelete
I just laughed so abruptly that I accidentally swallowed water (that I had just sipped) with my nose. Now I'm going to need an MRI and Bruce just ain't going to cut it. The least you can do is send me a nice musical soundtrack. Nothing with Barbra (sick of her) but most anything with that guy from "Spring Awakening."ReplyDelete

Canada to pursue labour complaint with Mexico under the North American Agreement on Labour Cooperation
OTTAWA, ON, May 11 /PRNewswire/ - The Honourable Joe Fontana, Minister of Labour and Housing, announced today that he has accepted the recommendation contained in the review report of Public Communication CAN 2003-1 submitted by the Canadian National Administrative Office (NAO) under the North American Agreement on Labour Cooperation (NAALC). "I am pleased to announce that the Canadian National Administrative Office has concluded its review of Public Communication CAN 2003-1 and that its report has been made available to the public," said Minister Fontana. "I take the issues raised in this communication very seriously and I have accepted the report's recommendation to seek ministerial consultations with the Mexican Secretary of Labour and Social Welfare on the freedom of association issues raised in the communication." CAN 2003-1 is the fourth public communication under the NAALC that has been submitted to Canada for its consideration. It was submitted to the Canadian NAO by the Maquila Solidarity Network, a Canadian organization that works on labour issues in maquiladora factories and export processing zones; the United Students Against Sweatshops, a non-governmental organization in the U.S.; and the Centro de Apoyo al Trabajador, a labour rights advocacy group in Mexico. This public communication raises issues concerning the enforcement of labour laws on freedom of association, occupational health and safety, and minimum employment standards in relation to activities that occurred at Matamoros Garment and at Tarrant Mexico, two apparel factories in the state of Puebla, Mexico. The submitters also allege that similar events took place at another factory, Kukdong International Mexico in Atlixco, also in the state of Puebla. To ensure an accessible, open and transparent examination of the issues, the Canadian NAO consulted with as many parties as possible, including the Mexican NAO, the submitters, Mexican workers, management and unions, client companies of these factories and Mexican lawyers. In addition, the Canadian NAO held a public meeting in Toronto on May 28, 2004, to allow the submitters, members of the public and non-governmental organizations to present additional information relevant to the review. The Canadian NAO found that the events that occurred at the two garment factories raise concerns about the union registration process, the impartiality and independence of labour boards, workers' access to information about their collective agreements, and the protection of workers from dismissal for organizing a union. The NAO concluded that a more positive approach on the part of the labour authorities and better information to the workers would likely have made an important contribution to protecting workers against anti-union activities such as intimidation, coercion and unjust dismissals. The NAO also recognized that some of the issues have been raised in previous public communications and seem to continue to be unresolved. With respect to occupational safety and health and minimum employment standards, the NAO notes that it has not received all the information necessary to draw conclusions on whether the Mexican government failed to meet its obligations under the NAALC. Upon receipt of additional information, the NAO may provide the Minister with further recommendations. The Minister will write to the Mexican Secretary of Labour and Social Welfare to seek ministerial consultations to better understand and resolve the issues raised in the public communication. The Minister is committed to carrying out these consultations in a timely and efficient manner. BACKGROUNDER The North American Agreement on Labour Cooperation (NAALC) was signed by Canada, the United States and Mexico at the same time as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and came into force on January 1, 1994. The NAALC protects the rights and seeks to improve working conditions and living standards for workers in these three countries. Each of the countries has established its own National Administrative Office (NAO) in conformance with the NAALC. Under Article 16(3) of the NAALC, the NAO of each party is to provide for the submission and receipt of public communications (complaints) on labour law matters arising in the territory of another NAALC country, and is to review such matters in accordance with domestic procedures. The matters complained of must constitute a failure of the other party to comply with its obligations under the NAALC - namely, to enforce its domestic labour law. The Canadian Guidelines for Filing Public Communications enables any person or organization to file such public communications with the Canadian NAO. Public Communication CAN 2003-1 was submitted to the Canadian NAO by three organizations: the Maquila Solidarity Network, a Canadian organization that works on labour issues in maquiladora factories and export processing zones; the United Students Against Sweatshops, an American non governmental organization; and the Centro de Apoyo al Trabajador, a labour rights advocacy group in Mexico. The Communication was accepted for review on March 12, 2004. CAN 2003-1 raises issues related to unionization efforts at Tarrant Mexico and Matamoros Garment factories, both in the state of Puebla, and the subsequent actions of government agencies. More specifically, the submitters claim that the Puebla Conciliation and Arbitration Board failed to provide a fair process for the registration of Matamoros (SITEMAG) and Tarrant (SUITTAR) independent unions, and to protect their committee members from intimidation and discrimination. Furthermore, the submission claims that the Mexican government failed to meet its obligations to protect workers at the Matamoros factory against minimum employment standards and occupational health and safety violations. The submitters also point to past alleged labour infractions at a third Puebla factory, Kukdong International Mexico (2000-2001), and to previous American and Canadian public communications against Mexico, to demonstrate a "persistent pattern of non-enforcement" on the part of the Mexican government. They allege that the violations presented in this public communication are symptoms of a "systemic problem in the enforcement of labor law in Mexico." As part of its review process, Canada consulted with the Mexican NAO, the submitters, representatives from Matamoros Garment and Tarrant Mexico, the incumbent unions at these two factories, the companies mentioned in the submission, and Mexican lawyers. In addition, the Canadian NAO held a public meeting in Toronto on May 28, 2004, to allow the submitters, non-governmental organizations and members of the public to present additional information relevant to the review of CAN 2003-1. Provinces and territories were invited to the public meeting and have been kept informed of the progress of the review. The Canadian NAO has now concluded its review and has submitted its report to the Minister. The NAO found that the events surrounding the two petitions for registration raise concerns about whether the Government of Mexico is conforming with its obligation to ensure that administrative procedures to enforce labour laws are not unnecessarily complicated and do not entail unwarranted delays. It also has concerns about the impartiality and independence of the Labour Board (CAB) of Puebla and raised questions related to Mexico's obligation to ensure that its labour boards do not have any substantial interest in the outcome of union registration procedures. Finally, the NAO concluded that a more positive approach on the part of the labour authorities and better information to the workers would likely have made an important contribution to effectively enforcing protections that are key to countering anti-union activities such as intimidation, coercion and unjust dismissals. With respect to the problems faced by independent unions in Mexico when trying to register and obtain legal rights to negotiate and hold title to collective agreements, the NAO recognized that this issue had been raised in previous public communications and seems to continue to be unresolved. With respect to occupational safety and health and minimum employment standards, the NAO will request additional information from its Mexican counterpart and may provide the Minister with further recommendations after reviewing this information. The same public communication was submitted to the American NAO and accepted for review. The US report was released on September 22, 2004. The American report draws conclusions very similar to the Canadian ones and also recommends ministerial consultations. Therefore, in the spirit of cooperation between the three partner countries, Canada and the U.S. are examining the possibility of working jointly in holding their consultations with the Mexican government.

Wedding Band
We ordered this ring as a wedding band and it compliments my engagement ring better than I imagined it would after viewing the example online. The diamonds are absolutely beautiful. I couldn't be happier!
The ring was very nice but I didn't quite expect it to be so square-looking. We had looked at five-stone diamond rings at a local jeweler and I loved the way they looked. I also loved BlueNile's value (more carats for the same price!) so we ordered from BN. What I didn't expect was that the U-Prong would make the ring look so boxy on my finger (the other jeweler's custom shared prong setting looked different). I ended up exchanging this ring for a graduated diamond ring from BN.
She loved it!
Extremely easy, great price, and most importantly ... she loved it!

Leighton Returns!
The Phantoms have announced that goaltender Michael
Leighton has been assigned to Adirondack according
to Philadelphia Flyers General Manager Paul Holmgren.
"Leights" was Lights Out in his half-season
with the Phantoms in 2010-11 going 14-12-3 with
a 2.22 goals against average and a Phantoms franchise
record .926 saves percentage. One of the stars of
the second half season, Leighton dazzled the Glens
Falls fans with his spectacular saves and five shutouts
in the last two months of the year.
Leighton led Philadelphia to the Stanley Cup Final
in 2010 with three shutouts again Montreal in the
Eastern Conference Final series. He has 34 career
shutouts in the AHL which is the most of any goalie
since 1975 and rates sixth all-time. Leighton has
played in 104 career NHL games and 296 AHL games.
In his AHL career he has 144 total victories, a
2.30 goals against average and a .917 saves percentage.
He set the all-time record league with 98 saves
in a game in April, 2008 as an All-Star member of
the Albany River Rats in their historic five overtime
game against the Philadelphia Phantoms.
Additional Transactions
The Adirondack Phantoms have announced the following
players have been released from tryout camp: Peter
Boyd, David Brownschidle, Peter Merth, Paul Crowder,
Andrew Thomas, Patrick Johnson, Steven Tarasuk and
Brad Phillips. With the recent additions of Tom
Sestito and Michael Leighton, the Phantoms roster
currently stands at 25 players so Head Coach Joe
Paterson faces some difficult decisions in the coming
days. Additionally, the Philadelphia Flyers can
still send players to the Phantoms. Adirondack players
from last year still in camp with the Flyers who
are trying to earn a coveted spot on the Opening
Night roster with the big club include Erik Gustafsson,
Matt Read, Zac Rinaldo, Matt Walker and Harry Zolnierczyk.
Last Week
Wednesday, September 28 –
The Phantoms invaded Weibel Arena in Saratoga Springs
for their preseason opener against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins. The local community got to enjoy exciting
AHL action in their own backyard while the Phantoms
took care of business on the ice disposing of the
Penguins 3-1. Garrett Klotz, Eric Wellwood and Shane
Harper all scored for Adirondack with power play
goals in each period. Veteran Jason Bacashihua was
stellar in net in his Phantoms debut turning aside
35 shots but falling just short of his shutout bid
with only 2.7 seconds remaining in the game when
Wilkes-Barre got on the board. The event was a terrific
success and the Phantoms send their gratitude to
the great people at Saratoga Youth Hockey for serving
as such wonderful hosts.
Saturday, October 1 – Adirondack
played host to the Albany Devils in their second
preseason game and dropped a 3-1 decision to their
local rivals. Rookie Jason Akeson scored the lone
Phantoms goal on the game. The Phantoms blasted
away for 37 shots on Albany netminder Jeff Frazee
but could only get the one goal into the net. Adirondack
missed star players Ben Holmstrom, Mike Testwuide
and Eric Wellwood who were all called up to the
Flyers for their preseason game at New Jersey that
evening. The fans enjoyed coming back to the Civic
Center for Phantoms hockey for the first time since
April and were treated to one of the major improvements
installed over the offseason with the outstanding
sound system. Many fans commented that the sound
was markedly better and made for a better game experience.
Sunday, October 2 – The
Phantoms concluded their preseason with a game on
the road at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and fell to the
Penguins 3-1. Rookie blueliner Oliver Lauridsen
broke up Brad Thiessen's shutout bid with
a powerful slapshot goal with 1:11 remaining in
the game. In 5-on-5 play, the Phantoms and Penguins
finished tied 1-1. But Adirondack took some untimely
penalties allowing Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to have
a pair of lengthy 5-on-3 power-plays. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
was able to capitalize on both opportunities on
plays in which goalie Jason Bacashihua realistically
had no chance. Holmstrom, Testwuide and Wellwood
all returned to the Phantoms following their preseason
game with the Flyers the night before, but the Phantoms
were without several of their key players including
Denis Hamel, Jon Kalinski, Stefan Legein, Dan Jancevski
and Garrett Klotz. Adirondack does not play Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
again until March 4 when the Penguins come to Glens
Falls. The Phantoms and Penguins will meet only
two times in the regular season.

Before Pirates of the Caribbean, this Made-for-TV Movie was the first film to be based on a ride from the Disney Theme Parks, in this case The Twilight Zone Tower Of Terror.Steve Guttenberg plays the role of a disgraced reporter named Buzzy Crocker who is stuck doing tabloid stories after submitting a story that turned out to be false. He meets an old woman named Abigail who tells him the story of The Hollywood Tower Hotel, which was closed down back in The Golden Age of Hollywood after lightning struck the elevator and killed its five passengers. She claims that Emeline Partridge, the nanny of child actress Sally Shine, was responsible for the horrible event, which put a curse on the hotel, trapping their spirits there. She begs him to go into the hotel and collect some items she needs to break the curse. Along with his niece Anna, and the inheritor of the hotel, Chris "Q" Todd, Buzzy ventures into the hotel, and is surprised at what he finds.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 6–6–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
WINNIPEG Blue Bombers head coach Tim Burke has asked his players to turn those frowns upside down.
Heading into Montreal to meet the 8-5 Alouettes on Monday, the 3-10 Bombers have a monster task in front of them and Burke figures a it's time to try some positive reinforcement.
"When you're 3-10, there's tremendous pressure on you to win," Burke said after Friday's practice. "We're all human, we put so much pressure on ourselves. I'm just trying to take that off of them."
The Alouettes are quarterbacked by the Canadian Football League's best passer in Anthony Calvillo, who has led his team to a scoring average of 27.7 points per game. Meanwhile, the Bombers have had more points scored against them than any other team, an average of 31.2 per game, and are the only CFL team not to register a win on the road at 0-6.
"There's been so much of that pressure put on them. When you put too much pressure on yourself, people tend not to react the way they want to react," Burke said. "If you just cut loose and have fun, we'll just see what happens."
Right tackle Shannon Boatman said the team will take that advice to heart.
"If we go out there with the right mindset and the right focus, we should be able to take care of business," Boatman said. "It may not be the start of the five-game winning streak that we need to get to the playoffs, but we just have to start with Montreal."
-- Import O-lineman Lee Barbiasz, one of the three new players added by the Bombers on Thursday to the practice roster, attended Thursday's practice then reportedly told staff "this ain't for me" and left the team.
Was it the 3-10 record or the minus-3 with freezing rain and winds gusting to 60 kilometres per hour?
"He said it (football) wasn't that important to him anymore. I guess he got up here and had second thoughts," Burke said.
Barbiasz was released Aug. 31 by the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars and received an offer by the Bombers Sept. 18. On Sept. 24 he tweeted that he was about to "just hit the reset button on my left and start over new with everything."
-- Each of 3-10 Winnipeg's top three quarterbacks on the depth chart have a win -- Alex Brink on July 26 (23-22 over Edmonton), Joey Elliott on Aug. 16 (32-25 over Hamilton) and Buck Pierce (34-12 over Hamilton).
Since Pierce is out this week with a concussion, missing his ninth game this season, Elliott has the chance to be the first of the three pivots to get a second win.
