Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Bill 18 is perfect example of bad law
Like virtually 100 per cent of Manitobans, I despise bullying. Ironically, if you asked a bully whether he or she considered it an acceptable practice, they would say "no." Despite a general abhorrence of the practice, there is no doubt it will take place. Children, like adults, can be mean.
There are many ways of being mean besides bullying. Although society has tried throughout the years to encourage people to be good and to respect one another, we have never met with ultimate success. Just because we cannot finish the job doesn't mean we should stop trying. Any efforts to decrease bullying and other forms of human disrespect for others should ordinarily be supported.
I was away from Manitoba when the so-called anti-bullying legislation was introduced. By the time I returned, a storm of controversy had arisen.
Why should there be controversy about a statute the purpose of which is to reduce a despicable practice? Although a good deal of the objections are based on religious grounds, I believe there are more significant objections that make the legislation ineffective and possibly counterproductive.
Bill 18 is an attempt by the legislature to impose morality and particular beliefs, an endeavour that has no place in a law-making body. To the extent that the bullying involves physical maltreatment or threats and intimidation, such conduct is already prohibited by the Criminal Code.
To the extent that the legislation attempts to impose morality, experience shows it will be futile and to some extent counterproductive, in that it will provide a false sense of security and lessen the need to create a climatic and attitudinal change in society generally.
Ever since I can remember, there has been in the schools and elsewhere a negative attitude to bullying. I do not believe that in our school system, the teachers have been indifferent to bullying. If the authorities became aware of bullies, they would be chastised and disciplined. Unless the bullies stop wanting to do it, the legislation will have no effect and would simply challenge them to find a way of doing it without getting caught. If legislation of this kind were effective, we could simplify the process. We could simply pass a statute with two sections.
Section 1 would read: "You must love your neighbour as yourself." Section 2 would require: "You must not do unto others that which you would not have others do unto you."
As we all know, an ordinance to these effects was passed at least 2,500 years ago, but human inhumanity has not been much affected.
I suspect the government has in mind a specific group whom the legislation is intended to protect. The bill specifically mentions gays and lesbians, which must refer to male and female homosexuals.
The bill requires the schools to create a school environment that accommodates gay-straight alliance clubs. I know of no existing impediment to students forming gay-straight alliance clubs or forming gay clubs or forming straight clubs or forming any other non-criminal clubs.
When I was at school, I belonged to several clubs and was aware of numerous clubs that existed. They were not prohibited or encouraged by the school and were the normal outgrowth of a free society.
To require the school division to direct its attention to a particular club orientation is to put such a club in a special and favoured position, something the school should not be involved with.
There is nothing to prevent a group of students from now organizing a gay-straight alliance. If a school attempted to prohibit such a club, such action could easily be corrected by administrative action of the Department of Education.
Bill 18 is a perfect example of the principal legislative rule: Do not legislate unless it is necessary to do so.
Steps to reduce bullying could be taken by policy decisions of the Department of Education. Most of what is in the bill can be done administratively. The part that cannot be done administratively is better left undone.

Wow, that's a serious problem. How on Earth did Comodo get hacked?! That's very worrying!
'Iranian' attackers forge Google's Gmail credentials - The Register
Note: Comodo are a root certification authority that is trusted by default in all major browsers, so even if you don't use Comodo products yourself, your browser is vulnerable until updated.Extremely sophisticated hackers, possibly from the Iranian government or another state-sponsored actor, broke into the servers of a web authentication authority and counterfeited certificates for Google mail and six other sensitive addresses, the CEO of Comodo said.
Updates that block the fake certificates were quietly snuck into Firefox 4 just before the release, Chrome included the update in 10.0.648.151, and an update for IE has been rushed to Windows Update today, and is already in WSUS.
Certificates were issued for the following names:
- login.live.com
- mail.google.com
- www.google.com
- login.yahoo.com (3 certificates)
- login.skype.com
- addons.mozilla.org
- "Global Trustee"
So, you know, nothing important or anything... :S
Last edited by AngryTechnician; 23rd March 2011 at 11:13 PM. Reason: Updated to emphasise that you don't need to use Comodo products to be vulnerable
Wow, that's a serious problem. How on Earth did Comodo get hacked?! That's very worrying!
i dont use comodo products but i presume this is still an issue as they can fake certificates for different providers ie skype, gmail etc ??
Tip: If you set an install deadline in WSUS that is in the past (say today at midday), machines will install the update as soon as they check in with WSUS, instead of waiting for their regular daily update time (which they might have missed and therefore have to wait another 24 hours). The update does not appear to require a reboot.
Cheers for the deadline tip, I've never really read into how the deadline thing works. I look forward to my WSUS server being hammered in the morning :P
Ta for that... I've popped in on Logmein and sorted WSUS
ah remote access :P both a blessing and a curse. Great for getting stuff done.. Bad because you do stuff outside of work hours!
*goes back to service packing servers *
I wonder if/when safari will get plugged. Also I wonder if mobiles would be affected. I would expect so.
Cheers for the tip.
I wonder if the people responsible for this attack were also the ones behind the Stuxnet rootkit which used a stolen digital certificate from Realtek?
The digital certificate that belonging to Realtek Semiconductor that was used to sign a pair of drivers for the new Stuxnet rootkit has been revoked by VeriSign. The certificate was revoked Friday, several days after news broke about the existence of the new malware and the troubling existence of the signed drivers. (Source)
JUST BUMPING THIS for people that havn't seen!
Another bump; plus if you use Safari you will want to read this article...
The security breach threw a monkey wrench in this process, by allowing hackers to essentially pretend that a site of their own creation was in fact Google, Yahoo, or Skype. Backed by the fraudulent certificates, these fake sites could be used to trick people into giving up all sorts of personal information.
Luckily, certificate authorities can revoke those digital certificates, rendering them useless to the would-be hackersbut it only works if your browser knows the certificates have been revoked. This process doesnt happen automatically in all browsers. Safari, in particular, relies on the built-in security management features of Mac OS Xs Keychain Managerand Keychain Managers validation feature is off by default.
Fortunately, as Intego mentions in its blog post, it only takes a couple of clicks to make Safari safe from this potential vulnerability again. All you need to do is run Keychain Access (found in your /Applications/Utilities folder, or by just typing its name into Spotlight) and then make sure that the various certificate-revocation protocols are enabled in the apps settings panel. Visit the link above for full instructions. However, its worth noting that enabling these options can slow down your browsing process. (Source)

Wash. Senate approves penalties for early retirees
Washington lawmakers on Tuesday agreed to reduce benefits for future state workers who take early retirement, making a pact that had eluded them for months and delayed final action on the state budget.
Associated Press
Washington lawmakers on Tuesday agreed to reduce benefits for future state workers who take early retirement, making a pact that had eluded them for months and delayed final action on the state budget.
The Senate quickly passed the measure Tuesday evening by a 27-22 margin. Republican and Democratic leaders said negotiators were still working on other areas but were largely in agreement about where things are headed.
The pension issue was a major sticking point holding up the state budget. House lawmakers briefly took up the measure Tuesday night but then stopped debate on it as leaders waited to see whether lawmakers had agreement on other matters.
State workers who retire before age 62 are already penalized with lower pension benefits. Under the new bill, those penalties will increase to as much as a 50 percent reduction for workers retiring at the age of 55.
The changes only apply to workers hired starting in May 2013. The plan is expected to save the state an estimated $1.3 billion over 25 years.
Lawmakers also agreed to reduce the assumed rate of return in the pension system to 7.7 percent instead of 8 percent. Some lawmakers viewed the 8 percent figure as overly optimistic.
"This will make the system more robust over the long-term," Kastama said.
Democratic Sen. Karen Fraser opposed the measure, saying it makes it harder for people to retire. She said the state wants to encourage younger teachers, but the latest plan will keep older workers on the job longer - even if they are burned out.
"It will keep people who want to retire on the payroll longer," she said.

No,No,No, to privatisation of the NHS. Bringing the market into the NHS has already changed the ethos of the organisation from a caring vocation/profession to that of "a good job" to be in.
But has David Cameron tested his vision of the new NHS structure as a virtual system in a computer model to test if the proposed changes would actually work.
Has anyone actually sat down to design the NHS system and what its output should be anyway?
My personal view is that the board of directors that should run the NHS should consist of members of the General Medical Council, the Royal College of Nursing and the Patients Forum.
I think privatization of hospitals will be a good thing for the British economy. This way hospitals can focus more on serving the patients than on trying to cut costs and save money. While "closures are 'highly unlikely'" other services within a hospital might be cut, so privatization might help prevent that. What kind of "diversity and local control" are David Cameron and his cabinet seeking?

The City of Wichita initiated its first GIS application in 1992 with the approval of a centerline pilot project, one new GIS staff member, and the endorsement of the use of GIS software by ESRI as the primary GIS platform. The pilot project resulted in the creation of a centerline map and development of a digital aerial photo layer to serve as the base map for the development of a sewer utility (AM/FM) system for the Water & Sewer department.
As other departments became aware of the potential of GIS, so did the need to develop more layers. Little by little, piece by piece GIS has developed over 250 layers. Wichita's GIS became a true Enterprise GIS in 2000 and is utilized by all city departments for analysis and decision-making.
Today, our group has five GIS positions in the IT/IS Department and is responsible for updating and enhancing the efficiency of all GIS base maps and developing web based GIS applications.
We are pleased to announce that the upgrade of the Public GIS viewer will arrive soon. City GIS staff have been hard at work for the past several months on improving the server and application development systems that are relied upon to provide the Public GIS application.
We are eager to replace the existing application because of the many enhancements that we have been able to include in the new version.
Some highlights are:
Although the application has been greatly improved, it will continue to provide the information and features that Wichita citizens have come to rely on. Our new development environment, however, allows us to continue to increase functionality and custom tools based on user input.
We look forward to your feedback. Be looking out for links to training videos that will help you get up to speed with the new application.
A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based mapping tool used for creating powerful maps that help City decision-makers visualize scenarios, ask complicated questions, solve problems, and develop workable solutions. GIS performs tasks better and faster than the old manual methods on paper, allowing us to increase efficiency and better serve our citizens. Unlike paper maps, a GIS is interactive and allows us to overlay several layers of information, which provides a dynamic analysis tool to assist in considering all aspects before making a decision. GIS is a mapping tool that lets us visually see the answers to our questions.

Baby wrap for a strong, wriggly baby
Started by ez21 , Jan 16 2013 07:58 AM
12 replies to this topic
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:58 AM
I need some advice on which baby wrap is best for a really strong and wriggly baby. DS2 is now 3 months old. He's a big, strong baby and I'm having a very hard time keeping him wrapped at night. As a consequence, he's been waking around 5 times per night, sometimes more. He is already rolling from back to front.
I have tried wrapping with big muslin wraps (including double wrapping) and he gets his arms out within minutes. I have also tried the Baby Wrap Me Up by Love to Dream - the problem with this is that his hands are up near his face and the slightest touch of his hands against his cheek wakes him up.
Any recommendations on wraps or sleep suits would be greatly appreciated. Anything that does not allow his hands to get up to his face would be best. I desperately need some sleep!
Thanks in advance.

my ds was lke this i just put extra clothes on - he hated anthing covering his feet or restricting his movement -at the moment at 22 months he is a slepp onthe floor he just like to be able to move and since we put in toddler bed about half the nights he sleeps on the floor.
I guess some kids hate been covered - i did use a sleeping bag thing during his first winter but it was extra big on the bottom so he was ok for a while i cant remember the brand as it was given to me
Posted 16 January 2013 - 08:55 AM
You could try using a cot sheet - I've used them in the past with no problems.
Other thing i'd try is a "Miracle Wrap".
Posted 16 January 2013 - 10:02 AM
My DS has been an escape artist since day one.
Not even the nurses could keep him wrapped in hospital.
Luckily I had gotten these sleeping gowns and he just sleeps in them.
They have sleeves which fold over his hands to prevent scratches to his face.
Enough room for him to move and freedom to wave his arms in the air like he just don't care.
100% organic cotton so breathable.
On cooler nights or when we have the air con on I slip him in a singlet first.
There is also a merino wool version.
The best bit though, is that the bottom of the bag opens up so midnight nappy changes are a breeze

I wrapped DD in muslin then put an ErgoCocoon over the top - I found the ErgoCocoon was a little too stretchy by itself, but the combination of the two wraps worked well. Keeps their arms down too so your DS wouldn't be able to touch his face.
Posted 21 January 2013 - 08:51 PM
I'm thinking a Woombie might be good ......
Posted 21 January 2013 - 08:51 PM
I highly recommend Ergo Cocoon 0.2 Zip Up Swaddle 3-12 Months. I bought three of these for my DS2 and used them till he was almost 12 months old and they were excellent. He slept 100% better when I used a Ergo Cocoon rather than a regular wrap. And they are made of light material, so aren't too hot in the summer.
Posted 21 January 2013 - 09:11 PM
I agree that the ergocacoon 0.2 is awesome. They do make a 2-6 month size that I'd recommend over the 3-12month. It's not available as many places but is a tighter fit which DS needs to keep him nice and snug!
We got ours here http://www.baby-bedding.com.au/ergopouch-e...on-natural.html
Posted 21 January 2013 - 10:14 PM
I "third" the Ergo Cocoon, although if you get it too big then the material is quite stretchy and DS will prob get to his face anyway. I used Aden Anais wraps and that worked for a bit, but he managed to eventually get out of them too.
We went to sleep school when DS was 4.5 months and they put him straight into a sleeping bag. (Well, they asked me if I wanted to transition him.) They started with one arm out for a few nights and then second arm out a few days later. Best thing ever! Obviously, it took some time adjusting but he slept better after that. I would get the nail clippers out though, if you plan to move to sleeping bag.
Posted 21 January 2013 - 10:20 PM
Another vote for the Ergo Cocoon, dd is 13 months and still sleeps in it. Saved our sleep

And Kendra Wilkinson is simply aghast that folks are giving Simpson a hard time for not yet having lost all the weight she gained carrying her son to term.
"That just breaks my heart," Wilkinson tells Yahoo! OMG of the criticism leveled at Simpson's figure. "I feel for her. I was in the same boat. People just need to mind their own business. That's a woman who just gave birth.
""Her first priority right now is her child. Her first priority is not losing the weight. You should be proud of her for that. A lot of people just dump their kids off at nannies and lose the weight overnight. We should all be proud of her for being real and taking control and making priorities."
That may be the most intelligent thing Kendra has ever said.
Simpson, meanwhile, is profiting mightily off her body. She recently signed a $4 million deal with Weight Watchers.

Not only the "his" slip, but discussed the weight after Jessica had her "son". Maxwell can be a masculine sounding name, but what a glaring mistake @Hilton hater.
Maxwell, is a baby girl......the article states quote" HIS name" simply wrong. I certainly commend these two women for prioritizing their baby first of all.....for those of us who have given birth and struggled with the weight loss, we revolve our lives around caring for our children and spouses over only thinking of ourselves and being so vain. Yes, society holds a high bar on women just remaining perfect as ever immediately after birth, yet reality is, not everyone bounces right back, and the healthy way to do so is to do it correctly and safely for ones' health. It takes NINE mths to put on the weight, reasonable and safe timing to get back to prebaby shape, is nine months after baby.....pls people get a grip its bullying and harsh criticism, which drives some women into depression and resort to unhealthy choices for dropping the weight.
Right on Kendra!!
Jessica had a girl...
Kendra- Go away.You are a nobody. Jessica is actually a somebody.

The Kansas Senate has approved new restrictions on abortion providers, moving the most sweeping anti-abortion legislation in the state this year close to final passage.
The vote Tuesday was 29-11 on a bill blocking tax breaks for abortion providers and prohibiting them from furnishing materials or instructors for sex education classes in public schools.
The measure also spells out in greater detail what information doctors must provide to patients before performing abortions, including information about a disputed potential link between abortion and breast cancer.
The House approved the legislation last month.
Senators made technical changes, and House members must examine them before the measure can go to Gov. Sam Brownback. But supporters expect the House's review to be a formality.
The Republican governor is a strong abortion opponent.
Abortion opponents have shown they have a supermajority in the Kansas Senate as a vote approaches on new restrictions for providers.
Senators planned to take final action Tuesday on a bill blocking tax breaks for abortion providers and prohibiting them from furnishing materials or instructors for sex education classes in public schools.
During a debate on the measure Monday, anti-abortion senators repeatedly defeated amendments offered by senators who support abortion rights.
Abortion opponents consistently had at least 27 votes, a two-thirds majority in the 40-member Senate.
The House approved the measure last month, but senators made technical changes that House members would have to review before the bill could go to Gov. Sam Brownback. The Republican is a strong abortion opponent.

This is an easy recipe with amazing results. I first tried this with fresh chilli, lemongrass and ginger, but the things I list here can be kept as part of your fridge/cupboard stock and therefore this can be made at the drop of a hat, pretty much no prep needed, and tastes just as good. We have this on a weekly basis. The consistency of the sauce will be quite thin, which is fine, do not try to thicken it, it is meant to be that way. I serve this in a bowl, on a plate with the rice to the side, so you can scoop up a forkful of rice then dip and pick up prawns, mushrooms and sauce. I would recommend tasting once you put the stock etc in, if it is too sweet, add more stock, you can tinker with the amount of stock and coconut milk to your taste. The coriander must be fresh, it really makes the dish. Enjoy!
