EARL, Christopher Edward▲
Family man, actor, motivator, sales and business coach. Born November 11, 1968, in Montreal. Died January 28 in Toronto, of cancer, aged 38.
By Debbie EARL, Page L8
Born to Ted and Mary EARL, Chris was the youngest of six siblings, guaranteeing a childhood full of family adventures. He learned early to stand up for himself or he would become the victim of pranks, such as attempts to persuade him to get into the clothes dryer - during the spin cycle.
As a teenager, he had the gift of the gab, captaining his school's debating team. At 17, he recruited and managed a window-washing crew, which earned Chris his university tuition.
At Queen's University, Chris acted in a Greek play as Dionysus. The seed of an idea to become a professional actor was planted. When a Kingston radio station held a "crazy people tricks" contest, Chris and a close friend won. They dressed as female synchronized swimmers and did a routine in a wooden vat of "guacamole" (oatmeal and green paint).
Chris studied acting at Ryerson Theatre School in Toronto. Through mutual Friends he met Amarjit CHIMA. On a trip to Memphis, Amarjit drew a picture of Elvis on his back by connecting the dots of his moles. Chris knew this talented, funny woman was the one. In 1994, they took a road trip across Canada. They were married on a mountain in Banff, and became great life partners because each had a sense of fun and a drive to achieve.
Chris played many roles, but the dream of making a living as an actor paled next to the dream of having children. Chris went into business as a trainer in sales techniques and motivational skills. Chris and Amarjit had two children: Ismay, a daughter, in 1998 and Eamon, a son, in 2001. Chris felt blessed - his family was complete.
In January 2006, Chris was diagnosed with terminal melanoma. He continued to live at home where he and Amarjit could parent their children.
To help encourage Chris, the Earl and Chima families created a team for the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life. Chris practised walking around his neighbourhood, determined to do the Survivors' Lap.
Chris's Crew won the award for the most money raised by an individual team. Chris did his victory lap around the track, walking with a sister-in-law who had survived breast cancer. One of Chris's favourite lines throughout his illness was "It is what it is!" reminding us to face our challenges with courage and determination.
Chris died at home, surrounded by family. At the end of the funeral, the "crazy people tricks" video was shown to great hilarity. In the midst of sorrow, we celebrated Chris's spirit, optimism and wit.
Debbie EARL is Chris's oldest sister.

BUNDY, Helen MacDonald "Donnie"
Passed away peacefully at age 71 on November 7, 2007 at Perram House in Toronto. Donnie was born in Cooperstown, New York on December 18, 1935, and moved to Canada (Montreal, Québec) with her family in 1974. She loved Québec and Canada and was proud to become a Canadian citizen in 2002. Donnie will be remembered by those who knew her as an independent thinker and true original character with a profound love for literature and political talk (typically over a cigarette and glass of wine), and profound distrust of all things Republican or Conservative! She attended St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York and graduated in 1957 with a B.A. in English and Minors in History and Radio. While at St. Lawrence she was a member of an Honors Sorority (Alpha Delta Pi) and won a best actress award for her portrayal of Lady Macbeth in a student production there. She also attended the Banff School of Fine Arts in 1958 and the Catholic University in Washington, D.C. She later obtained a Master of Library Science degree from Indiana University in 1972. Donnie was also a long time volunteer reader for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind in Toronto. She was married to Richard A. EARLE, of Mt. View, New York, for 20 years and had four children (Ward, Christopher, Clinton and Caroline) and six grandchildren (Sam, Lucy, Lydia, Liam, Andrew and Nathaniel). She will be sadly missed by her children, grandchildren, daughters-in-law Shari HOLLETT, Oona CASS and Ruth FARRUGIA, and son-in-law Christopher RICE, and always remembered as a thoughtful and loving Mother and Grandma. The family would like to express their deep appreciation to the staff and volunteers of Perram House for their warm care and attention to Donnie and her family in her final days and would ask that expressions of sympathy in Donnie's memory be made in the form of a donation to Perram House. Donnie has requested that her ashes be scattered and a tree planted in her memory at Saint_James' Cemetery at 635 Parliament St. in Toronto.

step 1) download it.
step 2) unzip that file.
step 3) go to that directory and run bin/elasticsearch
Done. Ready to go. Proceed with inserting data.
Except! (There's always a catch.) At startup, elasticsearch goes out and looks around your network for other computers running elasticsearch. If it finds one with the same cluster name, it'll hook up, and poof! two elasticsearch clusters become one. Any data you insert will be visible to your fellow developers who are also fooling around. Or testers, if it's running on a test box. This can freak you out when you're not expecting it. Therefore:
step 2a) in config/elasticsearch.yml, the first setting is cluster.name. Change the value from "elasticsearch" to something uniquely yours.
Once you've changed your config, you'll need to shut down your elasticsearch cluster:
curl localhost:9200/_shutdown -XPOSTthen do 'ps -ef | grep elasticsearch' to make sure it's dead. Kill the process if it is still running. (Yes, you can disable that easy-peasy command for production.) Like any framework, elasticsearch is very easy to use as long as you stick with the default settings. To use elasticsearch for real, you need to think about indexes, documents, mappings, analyzers, filters, nodes, clusters, shards, and probably more concepts I haven't encountered yet. However, the reasonable defaults and smart initialization mean that you don't have to think about any of these right away. We can get the product up and running for proof of concept with very little effort and customize it in our own sweet time.

Letter to Representative Carolyn McCarthy supporting the Teachers at the Table Act
August 02, 2007
Dear Representative McCarthy:
On behalf of the 3.2 million members of the National Education Association (NEA), we would like to express our support for the underlying concept of the Teachers at the Table Act (H.R. 2896). We thank you for your leadership in introducing this important legislation, which we believe will help ensure that educators' voices are heard as Congress reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), currently known as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
NEA has consistently expressed support for NCLB's goals -- closing achievement gaps, increasing student achievement, and ensuring that all students learn from qualified teachers. However, we believe several major changes to NCLB are needed to ensure great public schools for every child, and we believe public school educators have a significant role to play in identifying needed changes.
As a result, we are pleased that your bill would create a teacher advisory committee to advise the Secretary of Education regarding implementation of ESEA. If educators are not "at the table" when decisions are made, then it becomes increasingly more difficult to incorporate their classroom experience into the school improvement process. Specifically, we support your proposal to ensure that the members of the Teacher Advisory Committee monitor the effects of the statute "on the ground, in classrooms, with a focus on children and families" and to provide periodic reports to Congress and the Secretary.
Thank you for leading this effort to ensure public school teachers a seat at the decision-making table so that their voices can be heard. We look forward to working with you to garner additional support for this measure as Congress reauthorizes ESEA. If you need any assistance, please contact either Kim Anderson (firstname.lastname@example.com) in NEA Government Relations or Donna Harris-Aikens (firstname.lastname@example.com) in Education Policy and Practice.
Diane Shust, Director of Government Relations
Randall Moody, Manager of Federal Advocacy

After a week of thrashing around trying to imitate political fervor, I'm relieved┬ánow to return to the tamer niches of this precinct, namely comic strips instead of editorial cartoons. And this time, weÔÇÖre looking at things we rarely seeÔÇöfor instance, these two Blondie strips from the last week in October.
Single panel Blondie! Unprecedented? If youÔÇÖve followed the history of Chic YoungÔÇÖs durable domestic drama, you might recall the long horizontal panel depicting the marriage of Blondie and Dagwood on February 17, 1933. And if youÔÇÖre passionate about such things, youÔÇÖll have the first volume of IDWÔÇÖs Blondie: the Complete Daily Comic Strips from 1930-1933 in your library, and you can find this memorable panel for yourself.
But┬áif you dig up that strip, youÔÇÖll see that it is not, your memory to the contrary notwithstanding, a single panel strip: the wedding scene is the second panel of a three-panel strip.
Having frustrated my own memory of that historic Blondie incident, I am now at a complete loss about whether there has ever been a single panel Blondie. And so I suspect the specimens we have at hand are, as I said, unprecedented. And both occurred in a single week.
In our first clipping, dated October 27, the elongated format underscores the joke by emphasizing the length of the line of people tugging at Dagwood. But in the second instance, the joke is what old man Dithers has emblazoned on his Superman costume for the office HalloweÔÇÖen party, and the elongation of the scene doesnÔÇÖt serve the joke. It permits a panoramic view of the crowd at the party, but thatÔÇÖs scarcely essential to the gag.
So whatÔÇÖs going on? Have Dean Young, ChicÔÇÖs son and the stripÔÇÖs manager, and his gag writer given up sequential art in favor of the Non Sequitur and Rhymes with Orange format, a format made increasingly popular by such other single-panel spasms as F-Minus, Brevity, Tundra, and Bound and Gagged?
Time will tell.
In our excerpt, below, from Dilbert, another nearly unprecedented occurrence
Has Scott Adams ever before depicted anything from a perspective other than the side? Profiles abound in Dilbert. But┬áhere we have the pointy-haired boss and Dilbert himself on opposite sides of a desk as seen from up above, over the bossÔÇÖs shoulder. Suddenly the strip has dimension and, perhaps, even life.
Below that, Linus abandoning his faith. Unprecedented, I ween. His unflagging faith in the gourd god, subjected every year to severe trial, has never faltered. Except this time. Any other instances? Dunno. I await your reports.
Yes, I said IÔÇÖd taken a much-needed break from editorial cartoons, but the three IÔÇÖm showcasing herewith fall into the category of "unusual" if not, actually, unprecedented. And two of them have nothing to do with the recently conducted News Media Orgy (i.e., midterm election), and the other one, only tangentially connected to the aforementioned National Disturbance.
I canÔÇÖt read the signature on this one (Lowell?), but itÔÇÖs an artful deployment of the visual resources of the medium in a way not often seen in political cartooning. Sergio Aragones once did an entire collection of cartoons in which the shadows of the participants contradicted what they were actually doing, but editoonists have not much resorted to this telling device for depicting the raging hypocrisy that infects politicians. Maybe weÔÇÖll see more of itÔÇöthe device, not the hypocrisy, which is already so rampant that no increase is likely to be detectable. (It would be like identifying a single snowflake in a blizzard.)
Mike LuckovichÔÇÖs cartoon is the first IÔÇÖve ever seen use the device he deploys.
The entire jokeÔÇönot to mention LuckovichÔÇÖs point, that OÔÇÖBamaÔÇÖs stature has shrunk below that of the host of a fake news broadcastÔÇödepends upon the ambiguity of the "speech" in the first panel. WhoÔÇÖs speaking? The second panel tells usÔÇöand thereby makes LuckovichÔÇÖs point. But I havenÔÇÖt seen the "cluster of words" format of speech balloon used in this way before. Clearly, the traditional speech balloonÔÇöwith a tail pointing to the speakerÔÇöwouldnÔÇÖt work.
And hereÔÇÖs Eric Allie, using color in a new and lovely way.
His visual reference is to the riots a couple of weeks ago in France, and IÔÇÖm not sure what his point is. Is it that rioting in the street is more civilized, tamer, than American politics in an election year? Maybe.
In any event, itÔÇÖs his deployment of color that struck me. Solid shapes, no outlinesÔÇösomewhat in the manner of many contemporary animated cartoons. Striking. And now that newspapers are using color more and more, perhaps weÔÇÖll see cartoonists getting a little more experimental, bolder, with color.

Roger Federer rolled back the years with a three-sets victory over David Ferrer in the final of the Cincinnati Masters.
Federer won 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 in what was his 80th career title and the prefect preparation going into this week's US Open, the final grand slam of the season.
The 33-year-old had beaten Milos Raonic in his semi-final after defeating Andy Murray in the quarter-final of the Masters 1000 tournament to set up a clash against Spaniard Ferrer.
The victory meant five-time Cincinnati champion Federer has now beaten Ferrer, who beat Frenchman Julien Benneteau 6-3-6-2 in his semi-final, on all 16 occasions they have gone head-to-head.
The world number six said afterwards that his attention was now focussed on winning his 18th major title.
"I know I didn't beat Rafa [Nadal] and Novak [Djokovic] here but you can only beat who you play. Clearly I can't wait for the US Open but I need some rest too," Federer said after his victory.
The seven-time Wimbledon winner said he had almost pulled out of the tournament altogether after losing to Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final of the Rogers Cup in Toronto.
"I had to try to back up a tough week from last week, I didn't think it was possible," he said.
"I was considering not playing. But in practice I felt like I was recovering quickly so I gave it a go. I played with less pressure."

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in Me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart because I have overcome the world....John 16:33....."The last word will be spoken by God, and the last word is 'victory.' " E. Stanley Jones
So many of us are much more familiar with Jesus' words than we have ever wanted to be. Trials and sorrows can seem to make up the majority of our lives at times. For you, it may well be at this time. If that's what you're walking through right now, you're likely experiencing a plethora of emotions, having an abundance of thoughts shooting at and through your mind. Pain, sorrow, anger, bitterness, despair and hopelessness are possibly, even likely among them. A lot of words and questions are surfacing. Some come from our heart, and others from the enemy of our soul. Words and questions that ask why has this happened, and where is our God? Words, questions and statements that say we have entered the place of hopelessness, that there is no coming back from this horrible place. We've failed, we're defeated, life can never be good again. An avalanche of words. An avalanche, that like any avalanche, seeks to bury us alive, and leave us for death. We our powerless against this avalanche, but the risen Christ is not. Under the rubble of words, statements, and circumstances, He whispers into our hearts and spirit, "Take heart.....I have overcome the world. I have overcome all that is happening in your world."
Most of us know what it is like to be engaged in a discussion/conflict with someone who must have the last word. No one seeks that more than satan, our great enemy. He wants to have the last word with us in every time and place, and he means for that last word to spell our doom and death. His last word is meant to keep us trapped under the rubble of all that has happened to us, been done to or by us. If we believe him, we will never come out of the rubble. What we must know is that everything he says is a lie, yet it will sound so much like the truth, because he mixes some truth into every one of his lies. This is why our hearts must be in tune, in step, with the heart and voice of Christ. The whisper of His Spirit silences the shouts and screams of hell. And with a word, the rubble of our circumstances, our failures, and our sins, is removed. He, and not our enemy, has the last word, and as Jones say, that word is "victory."
You may feel yourself trapped under the rubble of an avalanche of trouble, failure, sorrow and loss. That's where the enemy and his lies will seek to keep you. Yet the words of his lies are not the last words to be spoken to you. The Words of the King are. Be still. Know that He is God. He will speak. He is speaking now. His last word in every situation is an eternal one. Victory. Victory that leads to all the fullness of His life. Come forth from the rubble, into His Life. Life that He now makes your life.

The Maine DOT has offered funding the Maine Street-McKeen Street intersection for good reason. If DOT feels it is dangerous and is paying for it, why is the town hesitating? Is it because Maine Street Station and the Bath Road intersection revision are getting more attention? Is it because of the tremendous new traffic that will be caused by the new hotel and the train station? Even a new traffic light downtown does not answer the McKeen-Maine left-turn situation. Remember, there are two schools feeding into and from McKeen, as well as about half the residential area living near the center of town. Also how do these cars get to the other main Brunswick artery, Bath Road, from this entire area south of the Bath Road-Maine Street intersection?
How many councilors who tabled approval use this intersection? Certainly not District 4's John Perreault (where the intersection is located), who lists his address on the city Web site as 1 1/2 miles from South Durham at the Cumberland County border. The arguments against funding the traffic light are unwarranted. Cutting through other streets instead of McKeen to avoid a light would lead nowhere except other residential streets. Also the area along Maine cannot become another commercial area unless it is rezoned, and the opposition to that will be twice as loud.

An interview with Jeanette Purkis before APAC17
Jeanette Purkis is an author, public speaker and autism advocate who has a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome and atypical schizophrenia. She is the author of three books on elements of autism and hosts an internet radio show. Jeanette has been speaking about autism since 2005. Some of the events Jeanette has presented at include TEDxCanberra 2013 and presenting alongside Professor Temple Grandin and artist Tim Sharp in Melbourne in 2015.
Jeanette is one of the 22 plenary speakers at APAC17 ; she will discuss mental health and will suggest strategies to help enable mental health clinicians to provide more effective and inclusive services to autistic people with mental illness. Her presentation will also provide strategies that people on the autism spectrum and those who love and care for them can use to address mental health issues and get the most out of clinical services. Jeanette took some time to answer Conference volunteer Alexandra Robinson, as part of interview series in the 'Getting ready for APAC17' Facebook Closed Group gathering delegates on the autism spectrum.
What are you looking forward to about APAC17?
I am really looking forward to catching up with some of my friends that I only see at conferences as well as meeting new people. I am also looking forward to hearing a variety of speakers. These kinds of events are a great way to build knowledge and understanding of things I might not have thought about before.
Who are you looking forward to hearing from at the event?
There is quite a long list. Some of the keynotes are amazing - Dr Wenn Lawson, Dr Emma Goodall, Peter Vermeulen, Stephen Mark Shore to name a few. I think some of the other sessions will be really good too. I am looking forward to seeing Stacey Smith, Monique Blakemore, Tony Langdon and Katie Koullas and other Autistic speakers. I tend to prefer the more 'lived experience' perspectives because they are so passionate and engaging and I relate to them better, although I enjoy some of the more academic presentations too.
What are the main points you want people to take away from your talk?
My presentation is on Autism and mental illness and is drawn from my own lived experience and my professional experience as an author and advocate. There are two sort of strands in my talk - one directed at people on the Autism spectrum and the other to clinicians ad professionals. For people on the spectrum I would like them to get some useful strategies for managing mental health challenges and some hope and confidence they can live well despite these issues. For non-autistic professionals I think the message I am trying to get across is to help them understand how mental illness and autism can present differently and to listen and understand rather than make assumptions.
What do you do in preparation for talks like this? Do you have a certain routine?
I have already written my keynote talk. My workload its usually pretty large so I do things whenever I have some time. With presentations I look at the subject and who the talk is aimed at and draft a presentation which I think will benefit the audience. It is quite a creative process and I try to make the talk as visually appealing as possible. All my talks - even ones to small audiences - are treated with the same degree of attention. I practice all them at least five times before anyone else sees them. I want the audience for my talks to get the absolute best presentation I can give. I have this silly superstitious thing where I don't practice the talks the day before I give them! I;m not sure what I expect to happen if I do. Brains can be funny sometimes.
Are people able to ask questions during or at the end of your talk?
People can definitely ask questions - that helps audience members clarify their understanding of the content and is also how I learn and refine my thinking. My preference is usually for the questions to be at the end of the talk but if someone has something they REALLY need to ask, I can answer it during the talk.
Would you have merchandise for sale (books etc)?
I have three published books, including a collaborative one on mental health, The Guide to Good Mental Health on the Autism Spectrum. The other two books are my autobiography Finding a Different Kind of Normal and my employment book for teens, The Wonderful World of Work: A Workbook for Asperteens. I am happy to sign these for people at the conference. Here is a link to my website which has links to my three books as well as a load of other things, like my presentation for TEDx Canberra: www.jeanettepurkis.com

The Boomers are not in the habit of missing the Olympics, but then again they only have to beat New Zealand to qualify. That doesn't mean they don't belong, and despite Andrew Bogut's absence with injury they have a legitimate chance of upsetting most opponents. So far in the warmup period they have pushed Spain hard, going down 81-75 and 75-69, suffered an 87-71 reverse against Brazil and finished up with a 69-67 win over France in Strasbourg. They also beat China three times in June, with a squad of reserves, and put an 87-60 hiding on a shadow Greek squad shortly after.

F/C – David Andersen (Montepaschi Siena)
C – Aleks Maric (Panathinaikos)
C – Aron Baynes (Ikaros)
Head Coach: Brett Brown (San Antonio Spurs, Assistant Coach)
Patty Mills may be the most recognisable name to NBA fans, but there aren't many European fans who don't know Joe Ingles, David Andersen, Matt Neilsen and Brad Newley. One player who could make a name for himself is St Mary's College junior guard Matt Dellavedova who should back up both guard spots. The Aussies are likely to look for Mills' penetration to open up pick and pop opportunities for Andersen with Newley bombing from deep. A lot rides on Andersen's ability to stretch the floor from the five spot, as Aleks Maric and Aron Baynes must be one of the slowest pairs of centres in the tournament.
Joe Ingles has made a name for himself in Europe as a scrappy player who will rile opponents and that larrikin spirit is set free as Ingles gets into it with pretty much anyone. However, neither he nor Newley have elite slashing ability, preferring to stay on the perimeter. This could be a problem against teams with superior length and power on the wings like Russia, but both of those players have experience against half the Spanish team from their ACB careers.
The Boomers are rounded out by solid if unspectacular guys from the domestic NBL, in the form of backup guards Adam Gibson and Peter Crawford and forward Mark Worthington. These guys are veterans with World Championship experience who will consider failure to beat out China and Great Britain for a quarter final spot a catastrophe on par with losing the Ashes. Finishing ahead of Russia, Spain or Brazil looks tricky, so a one-time chance to shock the world beckons unless something goes drastically wrong in the American group.
The Swing Man
Europe has been waiting for Aleks Maric to return to being the guy who teamed up with Bo McCalebb on that Partizan Belgrade Final Four team. This group is full of teams with massive front lines, and Maric is going to have to rediscover some of that old form if he's going to have an impact on Mozgov, Splitter or the Gasols.
Olympic Prediction
I already predicted a Great Britain quarter final spot so logically that would mean the Boomers miss out. But that was then and this is now, and it would be a major surprise if this team finishes outside the top four in Group B. The chance to feature on the back of a USA in London 2012 t-shirt is as much as they'll get from the knockout phase.
Best English Accent
All of them, according to any American talking to an English person in the USA.
