American Arbitration Association Launches Online ADR Tool, ClauseBuilderCorporate Counsel 2012-12-04 17:27:57.0 The American Arbitration Association (AAA) is set to launch ClauseBuilder Tuesday, a new online tool that will facilitate the creation of arbitration and mediation agreements. It is the first such tool to be offered by an alternative dispute resolution services provider. Although web-based tools for drafting contracts were already abundant, AAA general counsel Eric Tuchmann told CorpCounsel.com that up until now, there was nothing for alternative dispute resolution. Since 1926, the AAA has provided services to individuals and organizations seeking to resolve conflicts out of court. The not-for-profit association also educates the public about alternative dispute resolution and develops ADR systems for corporations, unions, government agencies, law firms, and courts. The AAAs first version of ClauseBuilder will address arbitration and mediation clauses specifically designed for commercial arbitration contracts. Tuchmann says that those types of agreements represent the largest category of cases where we see interest and demand for alternative dispute resolution services. Subsequent versions of the tool will be released throughout 2013. The AAA has versions in development that are tailored to construction, international, and employment contracts. Users start with the associations standard clause: Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. That language is time-tested and court-tested, says Tuchmann. From the foundation of that standard clause, users can opt for mediation, arbitration, or both, and then pick and choose from a list of add-on options to customize the clause to meet their specific needs. There are a lot of components, says Tuchmann, and the list includes choices of governing law, locale provisions, duration of proceedings, and several options for controlling arbitrator selection and qualifications. When choosing the number of arbitrators, for example, users can decide between leaving the clause silent regarding number, having their claim heard by a single arbitrator or a panel, or making the selection dependent on the claim amount. Arbitrator selection is a top concern when drafting any ADR clause, Tuchmann says, and the ClauseBuilder tool takes that into account. Parties want to be able to control who the decision-maker is, says Tuchmann. At any point in drafting their clause, users can skip to the end of the process. Their document can be downloaded and printed, without having to create a user account. (If users want to revisit the site and rework a clause that was previously created, they can open an AAA account to store their documents.) Tuchmann has been with the AAA for more than 16 years, during which time he has seen interest in ADR increase dramatically. Parties are attracted to its speed of resolution and low cost, compared to traditional litigation. Courtroom rules of evidence are not strictly applicable in arbitration, and parties have input when it comes to selecting a decision maker with expertise in a particular claim area. In recent years, it has become the exception for a law school not to offer courses in ADR, according to Tuchmann. The way that lawyers are thinking about disputes is just much more sophisticated now, he says. We see a great future for the tool and for the entire field. Will ClauseBuilder eliminate in-house lawyers need for having outside lawyers draw up mediation and arbitration agreements? Tuchmann says that there will still be times when parties have a very particular type of transaction that will require outside counsel services. But he says that in-house counsel can use ClauseBuilder to draft most arbitration agreements themselves. They have already been drafting their own clauses in many instances, says Tuchmann, and the purpose of this tool is to make it easier. |

Leonardo DiCaprio Does Jack Nicholson
If he had done this in Japanese it would have been way better.

First, when she's entering the room, the Japanese lettering looks like the word "slut" - heh.
Second, he looks SO uncomfortable through the entire interview. Like someone's going to whack my dog if I don't do this interview uncomfortable.
Yeah he does look uncomfortable, but it's probably due to the fact that he was having a hard time focusing on her and the translator. From what I could tell, they also asked about the girls he likes to date. His eyebrows creeped me out.
DListed already has a .gif of the eyebrows on rotate. Burn it. With fire. My eyes. No. Just. No.
Is it me or do his eyes AND teeth look funny? Drugs maybe? I hope not, I'm a fan of Leo.
God I can't stand him, kind of has a smug Clooney vibe about him.
That's such a scary face!
Jeebus, I had to wait til the end for the Jack impersonation. I don't think he looked uncomfortable? I think there was just the language barrier that slowed everything down. Like girls with a really big...sense of humor.. my ass!
The eyebrows are hilarious but the only thing I got out of the interview was that he'd like to have kids someday. Damn, Blake missed her chance!
I think he looked so uncomfortable because the interviewer was rather awkward. But when it comes to Japanese TV, I prefer the variety shows. It would've been more fun to see him on something like SMAPxSMAP.
Watch "Chinatown" and you'll see that Leo has been aping Jack's acting style for years.
That was kind of a hybrid of Jack and that evil killer doll, Chucky. I watched J. Edgar today, while it was pretty good, I came away with two thoughts:
1) Leo plays an obsessive mama's boy a little too well.
2) Clint really hates commies and democrats.

The Truth About Lions
The world's foremost lion expert reveals the brutal, secret world of the king of beasts
- By Abigail Tucker
- Smithsonian magazine, January 2010, Subscribe
Craig Packer was behind the wheel when we came across the massive cat slumped in the shade beneath a spiny tree. It was a dark-maned male, elaborately sprawled, as if it had fallen from a great height. Its sides heaved with shallow pants. Packer, a University of Minnesota ecologist and the world's leading lion expert, spun the wheel of the Land Rover and drove straight toward the animal. He pointed out the lion's scraped elbow and a nasty puncture wound on its side. Its mane was full of leaves. From a distance it looked like a deposed lord, grand and pitiable.
Since arriving in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park only that morning, I'd gaped at wildebeests on parade, dawdling baboons, gazelles rocketing by, oxpecker birds hitching rides atop Cape buffaloes, hippos with bubblegum-colored underbellies. The Serengeti usually dazzles first-time visitors, Packer had warned, making us giddy with an abundance of idyllic wildlife straight out of a Disney song-and-dance number.
The sublime brute only 15 feet away was my first wild Panthera leo. Male African lions can be ten feet long and weigh 400 pounds or more, and this one appeared to be pushing the limits of its species. I was glad to be inside a truck.
Packer, though, opened the door and hopped out. He snatched a stone and tossed it in the big male's direction.
The lion raised its head. Its handsome face was raked with claw marks.
Packer threw another stone. Unimpressed, the lion briefly turned its back, showing hindquarters as smooth as cast bronze. The beast yawned and, nestling its tremendous head on its paws, shifted its gaze to us for the first time. Its eyes were yellow and cold like new doubloons.
This was one of The Killers.
Packer, 59, is tall, skinny and sharply angular, like a Serengeti thorn tree. He has spent a good chunk of his life at the park's Lion House, a concrete, fortress-like structure that includes an office, kitchen and three bedrooms. It is furnished with a faux leopard-skin couch and supplied only sporadically with electricity (the researchers turn it off during the day to save energy) and fresh water (elephants dug up the pipelines years ago). Packer has been running the Serengeti Lion Project for 31 of its 43 years. It is the most extensive carnivore study ever conducted.
He has persisted through cholera outbreaks, bouts of malaria and a 1994 canine distemper epidemic that killed off a third of the 300 lions he'd been following. He has collected lion blood, milk, feces and semen. He has honed his distressed wildebeest calf call to get his subjects' attention. He has learned to lob a defrosted ox heart full of medicine toward a hungry lion for a study of intestinal parasites. And he has braved the boredom of studying a creature that slumbers roughly 20 hours a day and has a face as inscrutable as a sphinx's.

Hello, i'm wanting to study lion's. How do i get to that goal?
Posted by Jarrett Buckman on February 29,2012 | 08:24 AM
Great article. Sad though the countless videos of trophy lion-hunting on streaming sites like YouTube. And whats worse, they target females and young males and then when thats not enough, past the quota, they shoot up more "trophy lions". I truly understand the problems of man-eaters and cattle killers for i live close to leopards and tigers in an urban setting. I've read a lot about sustainable hunting and conservation. So how come those African villagers are so poor without proper beds to sleep on and homes/fences to guard them? If the hunting industry rakes in billions, where is the distribution of resources to the people with the exception of meat? And why does it always look so disturbing to see half a dozen men more shoot one lion? Does not the so called GREAT WHITE HUNTER have the courage and nerve to take on a lion one on one like in the old days, instead he shoots them when they feed - from trucks, peppers them from multiple barrels(people) like cowards and then poses with them like idiots for all on Google to see. In truth this "noble" hunter with his high powered rifle does not have the ferocity and courage of a lion hence he cannot truly face one...BY HIMSELF.
Trying to convince people about the benefits of trophy lion harvest is sheer rubbish. Many operators are corrupt and shoot more than the quota. Where does all that money go? Why are the people so unprotected and lacking of resources in " a stable but dead poor Tanzania"? Not everyone is a true "hunter", lots of "shooters" as well. Shooting leopards of trees. I mean Jesus, bloodless eyed people get a thrill doing something like that. Losers, the whole lot.

Indeed bernad kissui did i fabulous things in the maasai steppe that will never be forgotten,by introducing conservation awareness to local community,loss and cos sharing caused by lion as predation of livestock by lion,introducing fencing to the bomas that will reduce predation during night and many things that will foster community based conservation in maasai steppe.
Iwould like to call upon the government to support this researcher to get rid of human wildlife conflict in the maasai steppe and in Tanzania in general.

It's a terrific article, I think it shows an incredible experience from the main researcher Craig Packer, and I had an especial attempt about the courage from researchers to interact with lions, brave lions, cubs, and wildlife from Tanzania's Serengeti National Park.

First I would like to say that my family receives Smithsonian and we find it very educational for all.
With that said, I am very dissapointed in the article Truth About Lions. As a hunter and a veterinarian, I feel the slur directed at the Africa hunting safari industry was 1) not founded in truth and 2) definitely unnecessary! It detracted from an otherwise informative article.
The African hunting safari industry is very proactive in saving African species, especially the lion. They almost single-handedly police poaching in Africa. In countries with out hunting like Kenya, poachers have decimated the game populations.
The African safari industry also provides protein to the local communities in the form of game meat and local jobs for the people of Africa. But most of all, the Safari industry brings in huge sums of foreign money that greatly boosts the African economy.
In short, with out the African safari industry, Africa's wonderful fauna would be poached to oblivion and gone forever. They are the TRUE conservationists!

congratulation tuker for the superb articles you wrote on the decline of lion in Africa and in the world in general,together with Dr bernard kissui,the researcher scientistic at awf, struggling to fight against the decline of the KING OF THE BEAST in africa.i support this peoneer people due to the good work their doing in maasai steppe.A big number lion has been killed by local people by poison then and hunting,so bernard has heavy duty to educate this people.I call upon all the conservationist and all other people who are interest with PANTHERA LEO(lion)to fight against the decline of this cat family by HELPING Dr bernard kissui.
Let not this struggle be the end
Posted by peter on January 16,2010 | 01:09 PM
What a wonderful article. I couldn't put it down! As a lover of Cats(big and small) I wonder if it is possible to obtain a larger picture of the two male lions used in the article. I want to frame it so as to put it along with my other pictures of African animals particularly big cats and elephants. If you could advise on how to obtain said picture I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks you.

The disappearance of a military leader and the death of four of his men leads two investigators to wade through a morass of deceptions and half-truths in search of the facts in this thriller. Sgt. Nathan West (Samuel L. Jackson) is the leader of an elite team of U.S. Army Special Forces operatives known as the Army Rangers; West is known as a highly effective officer, but one with a short temper and aggressive attitude who is not well liked by his soldiers. During a seemingly routine training exercise in Panama, a hurricane sweeps in, and four of West's six men are dead, while West himself seems to have vanished. Eager to get the facts behind what happened, Col. Bill Styles (Tim Daly) assigns Capt. Julia Osborne (Connie Nielsen) to investigate. However, Osborne is having a hard time getting the two survivors to talk, so Styles brings in Tom Hardy (John Travolta), a former Army Ranger who served under West and became a first-class interrogator; Hardy later became a DEA agent, but left law enforcement after allegations of corruption. Hardy interviews Dunbar (Brian Van Holt), who claims that the four soldiers had been murdered, and West was killed in retaliation. Kendall (Giovanni Ribisi), the other survivor (whose father is a powerful officer) has a very different story of how the five men turned up dead, and it's up to Hardy and Osborne to determine who is telling the truth -- or if anyone is saying exactly what happened. Basic marked the first time John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson appeared in the same film together since their breakthrough roles in Pulp Fiction. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Training Day director Antoine Fuqua takes viewers on a dark ride through the streets of Brooklyn, following three New York Police officers as they wrestle with temptation, loyalty, and duty while attempting to uphold the law and deal with the pressures of the job. Eddie Dugan (Richard Gere) is days away from retirement, but he's been burnt-out for years. Unable to remember why he signed up for the job in the first place, all Eddie can think about is retreating to his fishing cabin in Connecticut, and forgetting the horrors that he's seen during his decades on the job. At the same time, undercover narcotics cop Clarence "Tango" Butler (Don Cheadle) is right in the thick of it. As hard as he tries to quit, however, his superiors always find a way of keeping him on the job. Much like Dugan, he's lost sight of his priorities, and these days Tango's loyalties seem to lie more with notorious inner-city drug dealer Caz (Wesley Snipes) than with the boys in blue. And Tango isn't the only cop who's being drawn to the dark side of the law; narcotics officer Sal Procida's (Ethan Hawke) wife is currently pregnant with twins, and he's barely making enough to keep his family afloat. When Sal learns that his wife is at risk of losing their unborn children, desperation drives him to consider unethical means of ensuring financial stability. In seven days, the lives of all three officers will converge at one crime scene as the NYPD attempts to clean up the BK projects, the epicenter of lawlessness in the highest-crime precinct. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The 1981 mythological fantasy adventure Clash of the Titans is resurrected in this remake from Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier. Discovered at sea as an infant by a weary fisherman, demigod Perseus (Sam Worthington) grows up with no real knowledge of his celestial origins until his watchful guardian, Io (Gemma Arterton), informs him that he is the offspring of Zeus (Liam Neeson). When Zeus' brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes) casually wipes out Perseus' family, the grieving son vows to show the gods just what kind of damage humankind can inflict on its creators. Before long, Perseus and a small group of soldiers are venturing out into the desert in order to find a way to stop the Kraken, a terrifying force of nature that an indignant Hades has vowed to unleash upon man should they fail to offer up beloved princess Andromeda (Alexa Davalos) as a sacrifice. Along the way, the soldiers encounter a trio of frightening witches with second sight, contend with Hades' devoted servant Calibos (Jason Flemyng), battle giant scorpions, and come face to face with Medusa (Natalia Vodianova), the dreaded gorgon whose gaze has the power to turn men into stone. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A businessman becomes the last line of defense for his family and his business in this thriller. Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford) is an upper-echelon technology executive at Landrock Pacific Bank, a leading financial institution based in Seattle. Stanfield oversees security for Landrock, and has made sure that their online banking services are the best-protected in the world, and that the bank's data is safe from hackers and other intruders. However, Stanfield finds out the hard way that his system does indeed have a flaw when he's visited by Bill Cox (Paul Bettany), a cold and calculating man who has spent months learning everything there is know about Stanfield and his family. Cox's underlings have taken Stanfield's wife, Beth (Virginia Madsen), and their two children hostage, and they inform Jack that they will be released only when he uses his knowledge of the bank's security systems to deposit 100 million dollars in Cox's account in an offshore bank. Stanfield is deeply wary but willing to go along to ensure the safety of his family, but when he has reason to doubt that Cox and his cohorts will live up to their end of the bargain, he swings into action to exact justice against the criminals.

A real-life historical incident becomes the basis for this military thriller from director Kathryn Bigelow that's reminiscent of such submarine dramas as Das Boot (1981), The Hunt for Red October (1990), Crimson Tide (1995), and U-571 (2000). Harrison Ford stars as Captain Alexi Vostrikov, a Russian naval officer who's being given command of the Soviet Union's first nuclear submarine, K-19, at the height of the Cold War in 1961. The vessel's previous commander, Captain Mikhail Polenin (Liam Neeson) has been demoted to executive officer following a botched test and his outspoken assertions that the flagship is not yet ready for deployment, but he curbs his resentment and resolves to serve his new superior well. Polenin's concerns are well founded: parts are not yet installed, equipment is missing, and the ship's doctor is killed in an auto mishap. Political pressure forces Vostrikov to sail his crew into the North Atlantic anyway, for a missile fire test that serves as a warning to the U.S. that its enemy is now its technological equal. The test is a success, but a disastrous leak in the K-19's reactor cooling system soon threatens to create enough heat to detonate the craft's nuclear payload -- which would certainly be mistaken for the first salvo in a worldwide atomic exchange and spark the beginning of World War III. With no other option, Vostrikov orders his men to repair the damage in ten-minute shifts, irradiating them hopelessly. The conflict between the seemingly bureaucratic Communist Vostrikov and the more humane Polenin escalates, until a surprising twist reveals where both officers' loyalties truly lie. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Though equally respected in their field, divorce lawyers Audrey Woods (Julianne Moore) and Daniel Rafferty (Pierce Brosnan) are opposites inside and out of the courtroom. Audrey is meticulous and by the book, while Daniel relies on personality and luck to get by. Despite the difference in methods, neither lawyer has lost a case, and neither plan on ending their streak after being respectively hired by Serena (Parker Posey) and Thorne (Michael Sheen), a celebrity power couple gone wrong. The divorce settlement hinges on a particularly spectacular Irish castle, which both parties would like to keep for themselves. Audrey and Daniel hurry to Ireland with depositions in their eyes, but a growing mutual attraction manages to squirm out from beneath, and, after being immersed in a romantic Irish festival, the rival lawyers wake up married. Reeling, potentially in love (to Audrey in particular's dismay), and faced with the type of media explosion capable of leading to the end of their careers, the mismatched lawyers contemplate how to go about their clients' divorce hearings as man and wife. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Approached by the shadowy Church (Bruce Willis) to overthrow tyrannical South American dictator General Gaza (David Zayas) and restore order to the troubled island country of Vilena, stoic soldier of fortune Barney Ross (Stallone) rounds up an unstoppable team that includes former SAS soldier and blade specialist Lee Christmas (Jason Statham); martial arts expert Yin (Jet Li); trigger-happy Hale Caesar (Terry Crews); and cerebral demolitions expert Toll Road (Randy Couture). Traveling to Vilena on a reconnaissance mission with his old pal Christmas, Barney meets their local contact, a cagey guerrilla fighter named Sandra (Giselle Itie), and together the trio scopes out the landscape.. It isn't long before Barney and Christmas have discovered that their actual target is not General Gaza but James Monroe (Eric Roberts), a former CIA operative who has recently gone rogue. Monroe won't be easy to get to either, because his hulking bodyguard Paine (Steve Austin) is a force to be reckoned with. When their mission is compromised, Barney and Christmas are forced to flee, leaving Sandra behind to face almost certain death. But Barney isn't the kind of soldier to abandon a mission, or a hostage, and now in order to get the job done he'll need the help of his old crew. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Expendables return with a vengeance in this follow-up to the 2010 surprise hit. Con Air's Simon West directed from a script by Sylvester Stallone and David Agosto. This time, Barney Ross (Stallone) and his merry band of mercentaries (including Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, and Terry Crews) take on a mission from Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) to clear Ross' record. The mission in question involves acquiring a black box from a downed airplane, with the caveat that they bring along Maggie (Yu Nan), a military-trained soldier who throws a gendered wrench into the team's manly ranks. When another mercenary, Jean Vilain (Jean Claude Van Damme), ambushes the team and mess up their newest member (The Hunger Games' Liam Hemsworth), it's hunt and kill time for the Expendables. Jet Li returns in an extended cameo, as does Arnold Schwarzenegger, with fellow '80s action star Chuck Norris coming along for the ride. Undisputed III's Scott Adkins co-stars as Vilain's henchman, Hector. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Boston bank robber Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) falls for a woman his gang had previously taken hostage after feigning a chance meeting with her to ensure that she can't identify them in Affleck's adaptation of author Chuck Hogan's novel Prince of Thieves. The son of a tough Charlestown, MA thief, Doug passed on his chance to walk the straight and narrow in favor of becoming a career bank robber. Not only is Doug's crew one of the most ruthless in Boston, but they're also one of the best; they never leave a trace of evidence, and always make a clean break. Over the years, Doug's fearless partners in crime have become something of a surrogate family to him; Jem (Jeremy Renner), the most dangerous of the bunch, is the closest thing Doug has ever had to a brother. But a divide begins to open between the two career criminals when Jem takes bank manager Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall) hostage during a particularly tense heist, and the group subsequently discovers that she hails from their own tight-knit suburb. When Jem proposes that the gang make an effort to find out just how much Claire recalls about the crime, Doug fears that his volatile partner may do more harm than good and volunteers himself for the job. Later, Doug turns on the charm while pretending to bump into Claire by chance, and becomes convinced that she doesn't suspect him of being the same man who just robbed her bank. As the feds turn up the heat on the gang, Doug finds himself falling for Claire, and searching desperately for a means of cutting his ties to his criminal past. But with each passing day, Jem grows increasingly suspicious of Doug's true motivations. Now caught between two worlds with no chance of turning back, Doug realizes that his only hope for finding a happy future is to betray the only family he's ever known. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A true story of tragedy, hope, and resilience comes to the screen in this sports drama. Huntington, WV, is home to Marshall University, a school where college football is a way of life. Huntington is also a town that learned to deal with tragedy in the fall of 1970 when Marshall's "Thundering Herd" boarded an airliner to return home after a football game in North Carolina. The jet crashed into a hill due to bad weather, and 75 members of Marshall's football squad and athletic staff died that night. The accident dealt a crippling blow to the city of Huntington, as well as Marshall's faculty and student body, and university president Donald Dedmon (David Strathairn) considered abandoning the school's football program. But instead Coach Jack Lengyel (Matthew McConaughey) was recruited from Ohio's College of Wooster to rebuild Marshall's football program. Lengyel was not naïve about the task ahead of him, and working beside Red Dawson (Matthew Fox), an assistant coach who narrowly missed the doomed flight and was one of the program's only survivors, he came to understand his job was not just to put a team on the field, but help a college and a community heal their wounds from the tragic accident. Together Lengyel and Dawson turned a handful of rookies and second-string players into a competitive team who in 1971 showed the world what they could do in a legendary game against Marshall's rivals, Xavier University. Produced with the cooperation of Marshall University and filmed in part on their campus, We Are Marshall also stars Ian McShane, Anthony Mackie, and January Jones. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Hollywood filmmaker Donald Petrie directs the comedy Welcome to Mooseport. Gene Hackman stars as former U.S. President Monroe "The Eagle" Cole. He's retired to the small New England town of Mooseport, ME, in order to write his memoirs and relax. The retirement is put on hold, however, when he's persuaded to run for mayor of the town. Meanwhile, local hardware store owner and plumber Handy Harrison (Ray Romano) is just the sort of plaid-shirted everyman to run against him. Cole seems a sure win in the race, especially with his loyal personal assistants (Marcia Gay Harden and Fred Savage) aiding his every move. The competition gets even more severe when Handy's sweetheart Sally (Maura Tierney) comes between the two men. Welcome to Mooseport also stars Christine Baranski and Rip Torn. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

The epic battle between the Titans and the gods continues in this sequel set ten years after the events in Clash of the Titans, as Perseus (Sam Worthington) descends into the underworld on a mission to rescue Zeus from the clutches of Hades (Ralph Fiennes), Ares (Edgar Ramirez), and Kronos. In the wake of his decisive victory against the Kraken, Perseus has retreated to a remote fishing village to raise his young son, Helius. Meanwhile, humanity has lost faith in the gods. As a result, Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon find their power beginning to slip, a development that could spell disaster for all of humankind should their imprisoned father, Kronos, manage to break free from his underworld prison in Tartarus. When Perseus learns that Zeus' son Ares has teamed with Hades and Kronos to capture Zeus, steal his power, and create hell on Earth, the time comes to take action. Now, with Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and Hephaestus (Bill Nighy) by his side, brave Perseus will venture deep into the underworld on a mission to defeat the Titans, deliver Zeus from evil, and prevent the powers of darkness from consuming all of humanity. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

On many occasions I have mentioned great ways to transform your dinner making experience into a special event, like pouring a glass of wine and putting on some great music. But what about breakfast? Isn't it the most important meal of the day?
Most health professionals say it is, so this column is dedicated to making that pinnacle feast into something extraordinary.
I understand that a vast percentage of the population have "day jobs," and that making a spectacular breakfast on a weekday is far from being at the top of your priority list. These ideas are more geared towards your days off, or if you work evenings.
This is the perfect way to forget about the bowl of cold cereal or toast and jam, and blow the dust off some old cookbooks to try something new.
One of my wife's favourite breakfast pastimes is making and perfecting different pancake recipes from around the world.
It seems that every walk of life has its own version of what we know as the traditional North American pancake. Making it a tradition to do a different pancake recipe every Saturday or Sunday morning is a fantastic journey around the culinary world.
French toast is another common "special" breakfast that many people enjoy, but we prepare it differently on many instances. Instead of the traditional method of dipping bread in batter and frying in a pan, we often will make a large casserole dish of French toast the night before, letting the egg mixture soak in, and then baking it the next morning. Not only is it an extraordinary display at the breakfast table, it also allows us to have more free time in the morning to sip our special coffees and enjoy each other's company.
There are many recipes that you can get mostly prepared the night before, like muffins or biscuits, for example. Measure and combine all of the dry ingredients, and then all you have to do is incorporate the wet ingredients in the morning.
Incorporating fresh baked breads or unique types of bread will also enhance an ordinary breakfast.
One way to make it easy is to prep the loaf the evening before, cover with plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator overnight. The bread might rise slightly in the fridge, but you will need to remove it from the fridge an hour or two before baking.
Remove the plastic wrap, let it rise in a warm place until it doubles its original size, and bake as usual.
Often we will serve fresh baked bread simply topped with butter and honey.
If all of this seems like "work," however, there is one very quick way to help transform your regular breakfast of cold cereal: top with a handful of fresh, in-season berries or some slices of banana. It will take very little time, offer more flavour and nutrition, and make a better presentation. There is a reason why all the photos of cereal on the cereal boxes are like that: better presentation equals more of a chance of you buying it.
Dear Chef Dez:
I love pancakes, but whenever I make them they turn out tough. I know it's not the recipe because it is the same one that my mom uses and hers always turn out fluffy and delicate. Can you help me?
Sarah D., Burnaby
Dear Sarah:
Pancakes are much like quick breads, as they should have a cake-like texture, hence the name pan-"cakes."
The biggest mistake made when preparing pancake batter is that one tends to overmix. Over-mixing flour and liquid produces gluten, which will give it more structure.
The more mixing one does, the more gluten is created, and the tougher the cooked pancakes will be. It is okay for your batter to be a bit lumpy. The lumps won't be evident in the cooked pancake.
Also, make sure you are not using "bread" flour, as it contains more gluten than all-purpose or pastry flour.

Setting the Stage for Obama to win South Carolina. You think not? Read.
When it comes to the election debacle in South Carolina, I have to hand it to the Democrats; they have played this quite well. Approximately 200 candidates (all challengers and no incumbents) have been tossed off the ballot, in large part for a paperwork technicality which involved failure to file a Statement of Economic Interest (SEI) form (which is a blank form in most cases). | Read More »

October 16, 2000 In response to requests from health authorities in the Palestinian territories who are working to meet medical needs amid the current violence, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has bolstered its medical teams and has sent a charter of medical supplies to the region. Last week, the MSF team already present in the region provided support to medical centers in Jerusalem, Nablus, Hebron, and Ramallah. Medical supplies, primarily surgical, are en route to Nablus and Hebron. An anesthesiologist began work yesterday in Al Makasset Hospital in East Jerusalem together with Palestinian staff. An MSF doctor and logistician are visiting hospitals in and organizing the distribution of medical material and drugs as needed in the Palestinian territories. MSF operates several ongoing projects that serve people in the conflict-affected areas. Note that the Hebron projects are temporarily suspended. Hebron

Cheap hotels near Guild Houses in Zurich, Switzerland
Zurich's guild houses represent a rich and thriving commercial history. They're located in the heart of Zurich, right across from the Fraumünster.
Take a stroll on the Limmatquai, along the Limmat River, and you can wander past the old houses. Their intricate (and photogenic!) facades are definitely worth a stop.
All types of guilds existed back in the day here, but today you can still see the buildings that served as the home base (for meetings and social events) for blacksmiths, porcelain makers, bakers and more. Although you can find 13 guild houses in total in Zurich, this particular lineup of houses are the city's most visited.
Cheap hotels near the Guild Houses: Most of the hotels we list below are located in two neighborhoods, in Aldstadt and in Hottingen.
Although choosing a hotel in Aldstadt may be a touch more convenient, you can't go wrong with a hotel in either neighborhood. Both areas offer their share of very clean and budget-friendly hotels (by Zurich's standards) and are close to transportation links.

ABOUT MAGNETOMETERS: These are instruments used to measure the strength and orientation of a magnetic field. They can be used in planet-exploring spacecraft -- to measure the magnetic field of Earth and other bodies in space--or to help detect the magnetic components of explosive devices. Most types of magnetometer depend on the relationship between magnetism and electricity. The sensors convert the magnetic field into an electrical current that can be measured, explaining the size and direction of the magnetic field.
WHAT MAKES MATERIALS MAGNETIC? Magnetism is the result of the constant movement of charged electrons in atoms. As electrons swirl around an atom, they create an electrical current, and whenever electricity moves in a current, a magnetic field is created. So magnetism is a force between electric currents: two currents flowing in the same direction attract each other, while those pulling in opposite directions repel each other. The reason some materials are magnetic, while others are not, has to do with how the electrons are arranged. A magnet is an object made of magnetic materials; naturally occurring magnets are known as lodestones. Every magnet has at least one north pole and one south pole. In fact, if you take a bar magnet and break it into two pieces, each of the smaller pieces will still have a north and south pole. The Earth itself is a giant magnet with a north and south pole, which is why the needle of a magnetic compass always points north/south.
The American Physical Society and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.
