Gay marriage is legalized
Ontario appeal court rewrites law, says couples must be given licences
Activists are ecstatic, Ottawa faces tight deadline to decide on appeal
KLEIN rejects ruling, says he'll invoke notwithstanding clause in Alberta
By Kirk MAKIN Justice Reporter; With reports from Mark HUME in Kelowna, and Canadian Press Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - Page A1
The exclusion of gays from the institution of marriage is illogical, offensive and unjustifiable, the Ontario Court of Appeal said yesterday in a historic judgment that makes same-sex marriages legal for the first time in Canada.
The ruling took effect immediately in Ontario -- two gay men were married yesterday in a Toronto court -- increasing the pressure on the federal government to consider legislation on same-sex unions or go to the Supreme Court. A decision on the latter option must be made by June 30.
Alberta Premier Ralph KLEIN boosted the stakes further, saying his province is not about to recognize same-sex marriages as legal, and will invoke the notwithstanding clause of the Constitution to override any court ruling recognizing a right to such marriages.
"If there is any move to sanctify and legalize same-sex marriages, we will use the notwithstanding clause, period, end of story," Mr. KLEIN said at the Western Premiers Conference in Kelowna, B.C.
The Ontario court methodically dismantled every argument made before it in support of heterosexual-only marriages. It refused even to permit a grace period for Ontario to bring its laws into conformity with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Courts in British Columbia and Quebec have also struck down marriage laws, but gave the governments time to rewrite their legislation.
The Ontario judges said denying same-sex marriage is tantamount to declaring homosexuals a lesser order of being, helping to perpetuate an impression that gays and lesbians are incapable of forming loving relationships.
"A purpose that demeans the dignity of same-sex couples is contrary to the values of a free and democratic society and cannot be pressing and substantial," said Chief Justice Roy McMURTRY, Mr. Justice James MacPHERSON and Madam Justice Eileen GILLESE.
"Same-sex couples are capable of forming long, lasting, loving and intimate relationships. A law that prohibits same-sex couples from marrying does not accord with the needs, capacities and circumstances of same-sex couples."
The judges ordered Toronto's city clerk and the provincial registrar-general to issue and accept marriage licences for two couples married under the Christian tradition of publication of banns in 2001 -- Joe VARNELL and Kevin BOURASSA; and Elaine and Anne VAUTOUR -- making them the first gay marriages in the country.
Henceforth, the court ordered the definition of marriage in Ontario to be "the voluntary union for life of two persons to the exclusion of all others."
The ruling was the culmination of decades of strategic prodding by gay couples, associations and legal activists. All were ecstatic yesterday over the strength of the Ontario ruling.
"This is why people come to Canada," said Michael LESHNER, who married his partner, Michael STARK, within hours of the ruling. "They marvel at our values. We have sent an unmistakable message that love can conquer all."
"It's a momentous day," said Kyle RAE, a gay Toronto city councillor. "It is a great day for equality in Canada."
A lawyer for the couples, Martha McCARTHY, predicted many more marriages in the days ahead, while the federal government ponders a possible appeal. "The more marriages we get, the more inevitable this is," she said in an interview. "The time to be right is ripe, as Martin Luther KING would say."
Courts in Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec have now overturned marriage laws. But the rulings in British Columbia and Quebec did not take effect immediately because they allowed governments until mid-2004 to redraft the laws.
A final clash is now possible before a Supreme Court of Canada bench that has steadily established a reputation for defending gay rights. The federal government has only until June 30 to decide whether to appeal the British Columbia ruling. The Liberal government is also expecting a report this week from a parliamentary committee examining same-sex marriage.
Prime Minister Jean CHR�TIEN said yesterday Justice Minister Martin CAUCHON is looking at the judgment along with the other rulings, and said it is too early to know whether it will be appealed.
Mr. CAUCHON said Ottawa recognizes it must move quickly toward a "national solution" to the same-sex debate.
"We see the direction that the courts are taking now," Mr. CAUCHON said after a cabinet meeting. "I'm asking for a little bit of time to look at the decision and to come back with a statement."
The Ontario Court of Appeal was not in a mood for patience, and it was not willing to run the risk that provincial legislators would devise wording to circumvent their ruling.
"A temporary suspension allows a state of affairs that has been found to violate standards embodied in the Charter to persist for a time despite the violation," the court said.
It also pointed out that were it simply to render the entire law invalid, gay people would be vulnerable to the wrath of heterosexuals who found themselves temporarily denied the benefits of marriage.
The decision rested on the constitutional right to equality and emphasized the "dignity" of individuals.
Launched by eight same-sex couples, the litigation had targeted a common-law definition of marriage as a union between "one man and one woman." The couples won their challenge in Ontario's Divisional Court, but it, too, suspended its ruling for two years.
Yesterday, the Court of Appeal specifically rejected arguments that procreation is an integral pillar of marriage.
"Same-sex couples can choose to have children through adoption, surrogacy and donor insemination," the judges reasoned. "Importantly, procreation and child-rearing are not the only purposes of marriage, or the only reason why couples choose to marry. The opposite-sex requirement in marriage is not rationally connected to the encouragement of procreation and child-rearing."
They said government lawyers offered mere speculation instead of proof to show why the exclusion of same-sex marriages was a valid social objective -- and that the definition of marriage was far from a minimal infringement.
What Canadian think about gay issues
The Ontario Court of Appeal ruled yesterday that the right to marry should be extended to same-sex couples.
Recent surveys have produced the following results:
Do you support or oppose gay marriage?
Support Oppose
Males (18-34) 61.2% 33.9%
Females (18-34) 69.2% 22.2%
If the Supreme Court of Canada said that the federal government had to give gays and lesbians the right to be married, do you think that the government should or should not use its power to overrule the court's decision?
Should Should not
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees equal rights for women and ethnic and religious minorities and other groups. In your opinion, should the Charter also guarantee rights for gays and lesbians?
Yes No

Gay couple married after ruling
Couple celebrates end of 20-year fight
Judges rewrite definition of marriage
Tracey TYLER and Tracy HUFFMAN Staff Reporters
Two gay men said "I do" yesterday, after Ontario's highest court said "they can."
Crown Attorney Michael LESHNER and his long-time partner Michael STARK were married by Mr. Justice John HAMILTON in a hastily arranged ceremony in the jury waiting room of a Toronto courthouse, as a crowd that included everyone from judges to janitors looked on.
Just hours before, the Ontario Court of Appeal rewrote the definition of marriage to include same-sex couples, saying denying gays and lesbians the ability to marry offends their dignity, discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation and violates their equality rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
A unanimous three-judge panel, made up of Chief Justice Roy McMURTRY and justices James MacPHERSON and Eileen GILLESE, then took the issue further than any other court in the world.
Gay and lesbian marriage became legal in Ontario, effective immediately.
"Michael LESHNER, will you please repeat after me," said HAMILTON, as he began the short, civil ceremony. "I do solemnly declare that I do not know of any lawful impediment why I may not be joined in matrimony to Michael Clifford STARK."
Both men repeated the declaration before pledging their vows.
"I Michael, take you Michael, to be my lawful wedded spouse," said LESHNER. "To have and to hold, from this day forward, whatever circumstances or experiences life may hold for us."
HAMILTON, an Ontario Superior Court judge, asked both men to place rings on each other's fingers, then made it official.
"By the power vested in me by the Marriage Act, I pronounce you Michael, and you Michael -- affectionately known as 'the Michaels' -- to be lawfully wedded spouses."
"You are now married," said HAMILTON, who later said it was "an honour" to perform the ceremony.
LESHNER, 55, and STARK, 45, kissed and popped champagne.
Speaking to reporters, LESHNER said he regards the court's judgment as, "Day One for millions of gays and lesbians around the world" and the culmination of a personal 20-year battle to end "legally sanctioned homophobia."
"I wanted to put a stake through that sucker," he said.
His 90-year-old mother, Ethel, who beamed and sang in her wheelchair, drew her satisfaction on a smaller scale.
"I feel wonderful, if he does. And I'm sure he does -- take a look at his face," she said.
"I can't 'rah, rah, rah.' I'm not the type of person to do that," she said. "I'm just happy my son is happy -- I know he's getting a nice guy."
While LESHNER and STARK are believed to be the first gay couple to wed after same-sex marriage became legal yesterday, they may not be the first gay Ontario couple to be legally married. That distinction appears to fall to two same-sex couples who were married in a double ceremony at Toronto's Metropolitan Community Church in January, 2001.
The appeal court ordered the province to register marriage certificates issued to those couples, Kevin BOURASSA and Joe VARNELL and Elaine and Anne VAUTOUR. The judges also ordered the clerk of the City of Toronto to issue marriage licences to LESHNER and STARK and six other couples whose licence applications were held in abeyance pending a ruling by the courts. The province and the city told the judges during a hearing in April that they would abide by whatever the appeal court decided.
Less clear is where the federal government stands.
Justice Minister Martin CAUCHON told reporters yesterday he believes Members of Parliament should have a say in the debate about same-sex marriage, but the government also sees where courts across the country are heading on the issue.
The British Columbia Court of Appeal and a Quebec Superior Court judge have also ruled the common law definition of marriage violates the Charter's equality provisions, but didn't go as far as Ontario in immediately extending marriage to same-sex couples, preferring instead to give Parliament until July, 2004 to change the law.
The Ontario Court of Appeal said there's no need to wait: Changing the definition of marriage, effective immediately, won't create any public harm.
Federal justice department spokesperson Dorette POLLARD said the government has until September 9 to decide whether to seek leave to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of Canada.
In the meantime, the government does not have the option of seeking a court injunction to stop same-sex marriages from taking place, she said.
If a further appeal to the Supreme Court is in the cards, it could return to the Court of Appeal to ask for a stay of yesterday's ruling, effectively putting it in suspension, POLLARD said.
She was unable to say how that would affect same-sex marriages that have already taken place.
Opponents of same-sex marriage, however, had no difficulty expressing an opinion on yesterday's decision.
By reformulating the definition of marriage, the appeal court ignored "centuries of precedent" and rendered "ordinary Canadians' views irrelevant," said Derek ROGUSKY, a vice-president of Focus on the Family, whose interests were represented by The Association for Marriage and the Family in Ontario, an intervenor in the case.
In its decision yesterday, written not by one judge in particular but collectively as "the court," the appeal panel changed the definition of marriage from being "the voluntary union for life of one man and one woman," to "the voluntary union for life of two persons to the exclusion of all others."
A person's sense of dignity and self worth can only be enhanced by the recognition that society gives to marriage and denying people in same-sex relationships access to that most basic of institutions violates their dignity, the court said.
"The ability to marry, and to thereby participate in this fundamental societal institution, is something that most Canadians take for granted. Same-sex couples do not; they are denied access to this institution simply on the basis of their sexual orientation."
Preventing same-sex couples from marrying perpetuates the view that they are not capable of forming loving and lasting relationships and not worthy of the same respect and recognition as heterosexual couples, the court added.
It was ruling on an appeal from an Ontario Divisional Court decision last year. The Divisional Court said the common law definition of marriage as an exclusively heterosexual union was unconstitutional, but decided 2-1 to leave it up to Parliament to rewrite the law by July, 2004.
The dissenting judge in that case, Mr. Justice Harry LAFORME, who would have changed the definition immediately, attended yesterday's ceremony.
In its 60-page decision yesterday, the judges systematically disposed of Ottawa's arguments for preserving marriage as a heterosexual domain, saying they were filled with irrelevancies, stereotypes and "circular reasoning."
The government argued that marriage has always been understood as a special kind of monogamous institution that brings the sexes together for the purposes of procreating, raising children and companionship.
That isn't something that lawmakers dreamed up; it predates the law, the government said.
Who invented the concept of marriage doesn't matter, the court said; What does is how gays and lesbians fare under a legal regime that excludes them from the institution.
The government was avoiding the main issue by arguing that marriage "just is" heterosexual and benefits society as a whole, the court said.
"The couples are not seeking to abolish the institution of marriage," wrote the judges. "They are seeking access to it."

Over the last 48 hours, as President Obama contemplated and then authorized U.S.-led military strikes in Libya "in support of an international effort to protect Libyan civilians," Fox News talking heads have attempted to foment domestic political opposition to the president by questioning his priorities and leadership. Seizing on Obama's current five-day trip to Brazil and other Latin American countries, Fox pundits have repeatedly said he is distracted in Rio de Janeiro and not adequately focused on the military action in Libya.
"He's going on vacation; he's going to Rio!" an incredulous Steve Doocy commented. "He's on vacation in Rio," Fox contributor Ralph Peters said, echoing the network's attack. Referencing Rio, Washington Times columnist Charles Hurt opined, "President Obama has absolutely abdicated his role as leader of the free world." Watch a compilation:
Obama's pre-scheduled Latin American trip is intended to strengthen the U.S.'s trading role with some of the world's fastest growing markets. But the agenda of the trip has been overshadowed, as Obama has turned his focus to Libya.
Perhaps Fox News pundits should read Fox News' website. Here's how Fox's White House reporter Eve Zibel, who is traveling with Obama on the trip, reported on the president's priorities on his first day:
Libya Dominates President Obama's First Day in South America
On the first day of President Obama's first trip to South America, it was not relations with Brazil or its president that was front and center, but instead, attention was directly focused on Libya and the start of military action.
On a Fox website, a Reuters report states, "Obama's only planned sightseeing in Rio will be to the city's iconic Christ the Redeemer hilltop statue, and even that had to be postponed from morning until evening to give him time for early briefings on the Libyan situation."
Despite the evidence from news reports on Fox's own websites that Obama is focused on Libya, network pundits continue to seize on any shallow criticism of the Commander-in-Chief.

In further exciting news, New Zealand's freshest sensation Zowie will be supporting Mark Ronson & the Business international on both shows.
As an established and revered musician, DJ and infamous record producer, Mark Ronson, is a consummate musical professional whose talents simply know no bounds. Making his name as an A-list New York party DJ in the early 1990s, he quickly moved on to music production and, well, the rest is history … including no less than three Grammy Awards!
As one of the planet's hottest producers, his seemingly magical studio touch has helped shape best-selling albums for superstar artists the ilk of Lilly Allen, Christina Aguilera, Robbie Williams, Amy Winehouse, Kaiser Chiefs, Duran Duran, Nas and, most recently, The Like.
Meanwhile, as a musician, he's released no less than three artist albums since 2003 (Here Comes The Fuzz, Version and, most recently, Record Collection), has topped the world's charts with tunes like Ooh Wee, Stop Me and Valerie, and is regularly called upon to play the planet's biggest venues, festivals, stadiums and everything in between.
And if that wasn't enough, New Zealand's newest electro-pop sensation Zowie is set to support both dates, bringing her contagious songs like Broken Machine and Bite Back to Melbourne and Sydney fans. The bubbly 23 year old also referred to as "a tiny dynamo of electrifying, positive energy" already has huge recognition in her home country. In Australia, her latest single Bite Back is currently the third most played song on triple j. Zowie is also making her way to the US where gossip celebrity Perez Hilton is a massive fan: "So fierce deluxe!!! She is easily proving herself to be one of our favorite Kiwis – and we have a few! If you like The Tings Tings or Dragonette – with a touch of Uffie, then you will really like Zowie!"
So, get ready to dance, funk, groove and vibe-on like there's no tomorrow.

LAUDERDALE LAKES — — While one Broward County city is getting out of the red-light camera business, officials here are planning to begin using the traffic-enforcement devices.
Commissioners say they do not want the cameras to be a money-making tool, or a money-losing venture. They say they are interested in safer streets and in adding devices that could help law enforcement solve crimes in the city.
"I can support it if it's revenue-neutral," Commissioner Eric Haynes said.
American Traffic Solutions, which provides the systems in most Broward cities that have red-light cameras, recommended using the cameras at four Oakland Park Boulevard intersections: NW 31st, 48th and 50th avenues, and State Road 7.
Commissioners asked City Manager Jonathan Allen to bring back a proposal to them. Allen said he supports the cameras because of the added benefits to the city.
"We would like the fact that we could have video surveillance in the main intersections," Allen said.
The city's interest comes as Hallandale Beach, one of the first communities in Broward to use the devices, prepares to get rid of them. Commissioners there voted last month to end using the unpopular cameras. However, Hallandale Beach officials said the cameras did their job and dramatically reduced the number of red-light runners at targeted intersections.
The cameras might not be a popular addition in Lauderdale Lakes.
"I think the residents deserve a break on the red-light cameras here," resident Sandra Davey said. "A lot of people in the city of Lauderdale Lakes will be the first victims to this policy."
But the company said statistics show about 80 percent of those cited do not live in the city where they are ticketed.
Company Vice President Greg Parks said he disagrees about who are the "victims."
"The victims are those that are hit by others, not those that receive a fine," Parks said.

The tragic tale of Mt. Everest's most famous dead body
Article originally appeared on BBC
"It is clear that the stake [the mountaineer] risks to lose is a great one with him: it is a matter of life and death…. To win the game he has first to reach the mountain's summit – but, further, he has to descend in safety. The more difficult the way and the more numerous the dangers, the greater is his victory."
– George Mallory, 1924
As though napping, the climber lays on his side under the protective shadow of an overhanging rock. He has pulled his red fleece up around his face, hiding it from view, and wrapped his arms firmly around his torso to ward off the biting wind and cold. His legs stretch into the path, forcing passers-by to gingerly step over his neon green climbing boots.
His name is Tsewang Paljor, but most who encounter him know him only as Green Boots. For nearly 20 years, his body, located not far from Mount Everest's summit, has served as a grim trail marker for those seeking to conquer the world's highest mountain from its north face. Many have lost their lives on Everest, and like Paljor, the vast majority of them remain on the mountain. But Paljor's body, thanks to its prominence, came to be one of the most well-known.
"I would say that really everybody, especially those climbing on the north side, knows about Green Boots or has read about Green Boots or has heard somebody else talking about Green Boots," says Noel Hanna, an adventurer who has summited Everest seven times. "About 80% of people also take a rest at the shelter where Green Boots is, and it's hard to miss the person lying there."
With Paljor's death came a wave of controversy, including whether he and his two teammates died because other climbers, in their own lust to reach the peak, callously ignored their signs of distress. Scant information is available about the man behind the nickname, however. Type "Green Boots" into a Google search and you will learn that Paljor, along with climbing partners Tsewang Smanla and Dorje Morup, perished in the 1996 storm immortalised in Jon Krakauer's best-selling book Into Thin Air and, more recently, the big-budget thriller Everest. Paljor, Wikipedia tells you, was a member of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, and was just 28 years old when he lost his life.
I admit to feeling a certain morbid curiosity at the thought of Paljor and all the other fallen climbers on the mountain, stranded far from loved ones and frozen in time, forever displaying the moment of their death. But more than a fixation on the macabre, I wished to know the story of the handsome young man in the green boots – especially the circumstances that could allow him to remain on the mountain for so many years.
I was also intrigued by what extreme altitude can do to the human body and mind, and the unexpected impact it can have on the decisions – and even ethics – of a person. But ultimately, I wanted answers to another, more pressing query; one that has been raised countless times but seems to evade explanation: why climb this mountain at all? Why gamble your life on its unforgiving slopes? According to the records of Alan Arnette, a mountaineer based in Colorado whose blog is a trusted source of Everest information, from 1924 to August 2015, 283 people have died on the mountain – 170 foreigners and 113 Nepalis – leading to an overall deaths-to-summit ratio of about 4%. How is it that so many people still see this endeavour as worthwhile?
My desire to answer these questions – in a two-part in-depth series for BBC Future – led me down a rabbit hole of psychology, ethics and climbing culture; to the doorsteps of mountaineering legends and broken-hearted parents alike; to sources spanning Fukuoka, California and Kathmandu. This is my attempt to make sense of what I found.
A cheerful place
As the plane lifts off and heads north from New Delhi, the city's smog, congestion and sprawl quickly fade from view, replaced by brown, rural flatness that in turn morphs into green hills and terraced fields.
The landscape, however, has only begun to grow in scale and splendour. Hills climb to ever-greater heights, shaking themselves free of villages, fields and vegetation – and then, any remnants of life. Jagged, snow-kissed mountain peaks stretch ever higher, as though trying to pluck our tiny vessel from the sky. Here and there, a valley river punctuates the monochrome landscape with a ribbon of green, a lifeline in an otherwise impossibly inhospitable environment.
We've almost reached our destination. The plane begins its descent, and the captain's voice crackles over the intercom: "I hope all of you have left all of your worries behind in Delhi, so you can have a great time in this cheerful place."
We're in the region of Ladakh, "owner of passes," which lies in India's far north, in the shadow of the Great Himalayas. It's early September, when the days are bright and warm but nights are already creeping below 0C.
It was here, in this high altitude desert at 3,800m (12,500ft), that Tsewang Paljor was born on April 10, 1968. He grew up in Sakti – "the golden throne" – an idyllic valley village of whitewashed houses, barley fields and poplar trees.
We set out for Sakti early on a Wednesday, following the course of the brilliant blue Indus River, passing breathtaking mountainside monasteries, dusty roadside diners and otherworldly plains of rock and barren earth. I travelled with Chultim Dorjey, a sociologist and guide, who is serving as my local lifeline.
We had not contacted Paljor's family ahead of time, believing our odds of convincing them to speak with us about such a sensitive subject would be greater if we described our mission in person. Now, I was plagued by doubt. Would they refuse to speak with us? Would they be offended? Would anyone even be home?

Miglis, who appears with the band Tuesday at the Independent, merely was trying to finish her first folksy solo album when her three Gainesville, Fla., housemates invited her to contribute to experimental tracks they were working on.
"We didn't really set out to form a band or anything," she says. "But through those two songs, we serendipitously ended up working on what wound up being 12 or 13. It was strange how that happened."
After a trial by fire on Skrillex's "Full Flex Express" tour across Canada, Hundred Waters coalesced, and recorded an even edgier sophomore CD, "The Moon Rang Like a Bell."
The album's distinctive sound features waves of somber synth textures, often accompanied by jagged percussion, and Miglis' fluttering voice, which sometimes settles into Philip Glass-school repetition (as on the single "Murmurs").
"With our first record, I knew that we made something that we were proud of and I myself felt like it was pretty special," says Miglis, who now resides in Los Angeles with her band. "But to be honest, I was surprised that a lot of people liked it, because I thought it was pretty complex. I knew that we made something different, but I didn't really know if anybody was going to listen to it."
That made keeping the cutting-edge flame alive on "Bell" hard work.
Even the "Bell" cover art proved stressful. The members deliberated on it forever, then – four days before deadline – guitarist Trayer Tryon sent a Picasso-meets-Flintstones sketch from Orlando to Miglis in L.A., and she painted in warm colors.
"That's very similar to how we work, musically," she says. "We all have our hands in it, and everybody's contributing what they're most interested in. And I'm the resident flautist, like Ron Burgundy, but I'm also good with songwriting, its assembly and form."
Miglis, who earned a fine arts degree from the University of Florida in piano performance, also played improvisational keyboards for modern dance classes, which helped her in Hundred Waters.
"I had to play very rhythmically and riff off of what the dancers were doing, and be constantly aware of what the teacher wanted," she says. "So I learned a lot about making music on the spot."

More than 40 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles over the long July Fourth holiday, and tens of millions more will make shorter journeys, predicts the AAA, whether to the beach, a summer cottage or simply to share hot dogs and watch fireworks with family and friends.
It may be called Independence Day, but our reliance on the automobile underscores the fact that the nation is still heavily dependent on petroleum—with all the consequences that brings from economic and environmental standpoints. But an announcement in New York this week could be thought of as the energy equivalent of the Declaration of Independence.
At a joint news conference, General Motors and Honda announced an ambitious new joint venture that they hope will allow them to transform the fuel cell from a scientific curiosity to a mass-market reality by the end of the decade. Described by some experts as a "refillable battery," a fuel cell combines hydrogen and oxygen from the air to create a steady stream of current that can be used to run electric motors. The only thing steaming from a fuel-cell vehicle's tailpipe is water vapor.
The technology could take the country closer to "weaning ourselves off petroleum," according to Charlie Freese, GM's global director of fuel cell development.
Together, the two makers have about 200 prototype fuel-cell vehicles, or FCVs, undergoing field tests to see how they perform in day-to-day, real-world use. Other manufacturers, including Ford, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota are also experimenting with hydrogen propulsion.
Both Honda and Toyota hope to launch low-volume production of new FCVs by 2015, though American Honda CEO Tetsuo Iwamura stresses that anything close to mass market levels will likely not occur before the end of the decade—or later.
Fuel cells were initially developed over 100 years ago, but the first serious application occurred with the launch of the Apollo missions in the 1960s and early 1970s. During the Apollo flights, fuel cells provided electric power during the long trips to the moon. To make the technology viable under the hood of a car means bringing the size, weight and cost down by many orders of magnitude.

And then there's the issue of creating a hydrogen infrastructure. Today, there are just 10 filling stations in California available to consumers and only a handful more in the rest of the United States. California regulators are studying measures that would add perhaps another 100 by decade's end, but considering there are tens of thousands of gasoline stations, that's not likely to encourage potential customers.
The hurdles facing hydrogen power are similar to those facing battery propulsion. Electric vehicles are still costly, offer limited range and require time to recharge—with relatively few public charging stations yet available. So, even while more plug-ins and pure battery-electric vehicles reach market every month, total demand is so far less than half of one percent of the overall U.S. automotive market.

John Wanamaker once said, "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I don't know which half!"
This is, of course, the reason frequency is such an important element of marketing.
It is also an important element of selling and of sales management. We must be diligent in our efforts to maintain a proactive and persistent posture when selling, and we must do the same when engaged in sales management; which many believe is simply a "higher level of selling."
The key reason for this fact is that we can never be sure about which component of our effort is going to be effective at any specific time.
In other words, time spent coaching a Rep today may, in fact, pay off immediately or it may not pay off for a month or two; time spent presenting good reasons for a policy or procedure may not truly result in team buy-in on the spot, but might do so over time. Just like John Wanamaker, we just can't be sure.
If we fail to interact with our customers, prospects or sales people with sufficient frequency, and if we fail to reaffirm the value associated with our products, services and our organizations, as well as our personal value, then we will most likely fail as sales people and sales managers.
This requires consistent, straightforward and strategic communication. Not only must we possess strong communication skills, but we must also (as the term implies) plan our approach. While many tend to think about communication in terms of "speaking," the truly critical skills are:
- Planning
- Probing
- Listening
- Proactive style
As prudent sales managers, we must be aware of the critical role our communication plays in the day-to-day execution of our jobs, and the significant impact it has on the people we lead… how it can help us engage the team!
Thus the importance of the above-listed critical skills.
We should also be ever-aware of the importance of establishing and reaffirming our personal value — the value we provide to our sales team each and every day; the value we provide by helping them achieve success; the value we provide by helping them maintain focus on the right things; the value we provide by helping the close business; and the value we provide by continually reminding them that the job can be done and they can do it.

A Contrary to what it sounds like, ringworm isn't caused by worms. It's a fungal infection of the scalp or the skin that leaves a round, pinkish rash resembling a worm that has burrowed under the skin and formed a circle. The typical ringworm rash has a dime- to quarter-size circular border that's raised, scaly, or bumpy and is relatively clear in the center of the ring. The rash can appear anywhere on the body; if it's on the scalp, it may result in temporary bald patches.
Once your doctor has diagnosed ringworm, the standard treatment is an over-the-counter antifungal cream that is applied to the affected areas two to three times a day for two to four weeks. Scalp ringworm is usually treated with oral medication. Instruct your child not to scratch the spots, and be patient: It may take up to eight weeks for the rash to disappear.
Kids are more likely to get ringworm than adults, who have built up an immunity to these fungi. However, except for being an itchy nuisance, ringworm is neither painful nor highly contagious. Children usually catch it by coming into direct contact with the rash or the hands of an infected friend who's been scratching it, and they can also contract the germ from infected pets, especially dogs and cats. But because casual contact at school is rarely enough to transmit the infection, a child can usually attend school or daycare while the rash is being treated. At home, don't let siblings share combs, brushes, or hats with your infected child if the rash is on her scalp, and don't let anyone share towels with her until the infection clears up.

Every year questions about which filing status to use when preparing a tax return has to be determined. Currently there are five categories. Starting with single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of household, and qualifying widow or widower. The main criteria are dependent on the marriage status on the last day of the year. Whatever you are on that day governs how the taxes will be prepared. If married at year end, you may file jointly which may be to your advantage or file separately. Being married but living apart for the last half of 2012 and having a child living with you, may qualify as an "unmarried" head of household. This would enable you to qualify for more favorable tax treatment than filing married separately.
If you are divorced during the year under a final decree of divorce or separate maintenance, you are considered single for the entire year. This status obviously changes in the event of a remarriage in the same year. It will also be different if you qualify as the head of the household as mentioned above. Each one of these filing methods, allow certain credits, deductions, exclusions etc. along with graduated tax rates. There is an exception if you became a widow or widower during the year. It is still possible to file a joint return with the deceased and use tax benefits that accrue to that status. In the event there are dependent children living in your home, there is a two-year window after becoming a widow or widower that you may file as a qualified person entitled to the favorable joint tax rates.
At the end of the year, if you are involved in a common law marriage that has been sanctioned by the state in which you live, then the IRS will also consider you married and allow the joint return. On the other hand, even if there is a same-sex marriage in a state that recognizes its legality, the IRS will not allow either version of the married couple's choice. So they will have to choose to file as single, or if dependents are involved, as head of the household.
If you are apprehensive about filing a tax return with your spouse and both have income, you may consider filing separately. By not filing a joint return your tax liability is limited and you will not become responsible for any additional tax, penalties and interest.
A recent situation that I familiar with comes to mind. Mr. and Mrs. X were married to each other and neither had filed a tax return for more than 10 years. Since 2000. Mrs. X had a job with a local bank and received a W-2 each year. Mr. X did not have any specific job (but did receive a few 1099's), neither did he have a going business, yet he always had money. Mr. X kept promising that they would file a joint return but kept putting it off. The IRS kept sending letters requiring they file, but to no avail.
Eventually, the IRS prepared substitute returns and charged him with tax, penalties and interest. Before they could prepare any documents to refute the IRS calculations, Mr. X died. It was decided that Mrs. X should file all of her overdue returns as "married filing separately" and clear up her obligations and disregard any of her husband's income etc. The theory behind this approach was to take advantage of the option married couples have and positively not be liable for any of her husband's tax liability if there would be one.
Observation: It's called political economy because it has nothing to do with politics or economy.

Goodreads: Last.fm for Books
Believe it or not, but more people are reading books these days than ever before. Shocking as this may be, its still surprisingly difficult to find new books other than through word of mouth or recommendations from critics. Audiophiles, however, have a notably easier time with finding new bands or artists to listen to when compared to fans of literature, as the internet has proven to be a great tool of finding new music quickly and easily in a way that was never before possible. Websites like Last.fm, which records what you've listened to and then recommends similar artists based on the tastes of other like-minded users. So why not have something similar for TV, movies, or god-forbid, books?
That's where Goodreads comes in. Goodreads is a website devoted to the voracious reader, allowing them to find new books and authors quickly and then share their discoveries with their friends and the world. Using a philosophy of user-powered recommendations rather than relying on random reviews, Goodreads allows users to rate and digitally list their book shelves, which can also be shared on social media sites easily to show your friends what you're reading. In addition to providing an excellent way of allowing people a new way of easily sharing their literary tastes with the world, Goodreads also taps the collective consciousness of its 11,000,000 members with an algorithm designed to recommend new authors and novels based off of the tastes of similar users, much like Last.fm. After trying Goodreads myself, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it seemed to have my tastes pegged, and was already suggesting a litany of books that I had read or was planning to read within the first three minutes of building my taste profile.
Additionally, Goodreads creates a great outlet for budding authors to get their work out to a receptive audience with their author program, where writers can add book excerpts, tour dates, a bio, a personal blog and more. While this may only be attractive to my fellow writers out there, but I personally love the idea of being able to see what my favorite authors are reading in real-time. Goodreads also has realesed an app for both iOS and Android devices, so you can easily scan in the ISBN number of a book or add in a book you just downloaded onto your tablet.
So if you're constantly on the lookout for a new book, or maybe just want to show off your tastes (no judgement), give Goodreads a shot and see what you can find.

Hi bees,
When/why do you add crinoline? I have not heard of doing this type of alteration but have seen it on many posts. My bridal salon is doing alterations and they have not brought it up either. My dress is a mermaid shape, if that makes a difference. Appreciate advice!

Let's say you invested $10,000 in a Fidelity Cash Reserves fund a year ago. Last September, 30-day interest rates were 17.10 percent. Over the year you earned about $1,540, that is, a 15.4 percent return.
Suddenly stocks and bonds go roaring away. Short-term interest rates have fallen to 13.5 percent.
And there you are, paddling around in your money market fund.
You don't have to ride in anyone's wake, however. Often, with a phone call, you can switch into a stock, bond, gold, or tax-exempt mutual fund. And more investors are doing so.
If most everyone who had a money market fund account did make such a phone call, the mutual fund groups would be swamped with cash for fresh investment. But this is considered unlikely. Relatively unknown until the mid-1970s, money market funds now have over $220 million in assets, or 80 percent of all mutual fund assets, according to Harry J. Guinivan of the Investment Company Institute, the mutual fund industry's trade association. In the summer of 1980 only 4 million money market accounts existed. Now there are over 13 million.
Many people with money market funds don't realize they can easily diversify. For example, if you bought into Fidelity's Cash Reserves, managed by one of the nation's largest mutual fund groups, you have 24 other funds to choose from. You could go with riskier high-growth stocks, more conservative high-income stocks, or tax-exempt municipal bonds.
If you have invested in a money market fund, it's likely you have access to other types of mutual funds. According to Mr. Guinivan, about 95 percent of the money market funds are part of a fund complex.
''Mutual fund groups have had to create their own money market funds if they didn't have one,'' he observed. ''They couldn't afford to be left behind.'' Last December there were 159 money market funds. Now there are 245.
Some of the larger and more diversified fund families include: American Funds; American General Capital; Dreyfus; Eaton & Howard, Vance Sanders; Federated Securities; Fidelity; Investors Diversified (IDS); Kemper; Merrill Lynch; Oppenheimer; T. Rowe Price; Putnum; Scudder Fund; Vanguard; and Value Line.
Switching between funds is like finger painting: Once you get your hands dirty, it's relatively simple. Generally, you merely read the prospectus of the fund you are moving to, send a letter saying you have read the prospectus and are authorizing the exchange, and pay a $5 bookkeeping fee. If you are switching from a no-load (commission-free) fund into a load-fund - usually with a brokerage commission of 8.5 percent - you will be charged a fee on the amount of money you move.
You will also have to pay capital-gains taxes. A provision shortening long-term capital gains from one year to six months was struck from the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982, passed in August. But it may make it through on the next round. That would allow you to transfer your money from one fund to another after only six months and pay the lower long-term capital gains tax of 20 percent.
Most fund managers will not encourage you to make switches. First, they do not want to be responsible for a bad move. More important, however, is the disruption a large amount of switching causes.
''If money is flowing in and out of the fund,'' explains Erica Diesel at Vanguard, ''the portfolio manager can't make a big buy when he needs to. Switching hurts the performance of the entire portfolio.''
Nonetheless, switching is hot. According to James Schabacker, publisher of Switch Fund Advisory, the average subscriber to his newsletter moves his investment between three and six times a year.
During the mid-August surge in the stock market, Victor Kramer of Fidelity noticed ''a striking acceleration'' of money being transferred from money market accounts to tax-exempt bond funds.
''The quickest to move are the high-income, sophisticated investors. If interest rates keep falling and the stock and bond markets keep rising, corporate bond funds and stock funds will follow suit - but at a slower rate,'' he adds.
Richard Vesely of Delaware Management Company disagrees. He says that Delaware Management has greatly increased its advertising campaign to increase its cash reserves (money market funds). ''I'm calling it, 'The sky is falling' club,'' he remarked. ''We have had no indication that money market funds are dropping off. Most of these people are savers who want safety and income, not investors who want to take risks. They won't switch, and they shouldn't.''
But according to Mr. Schabacker, now is the time to be in equity. On Aug. 21, he advised his subscribers to move all of their money out of cash securities and into equity. Previous to that he recommended 75 percent equity and 25 percent cash.
Mr. Schabacker uses what he terms an analytical forecaster to determine general trends in the market. He looks at indicators such as the Standard and Poor 500 average, the prime rate, and the business activity rate. Within that average, he makes specific recommendations for individual funds. ''Say we are recommending 50 percent equity and 50 percent cash at a particular time. If Value Line equity fund has good upward momentum,'' he says, ''we'll be a trend follower and switch another 25 percent away from cash reserves and into equity.''
Mr. Schabacker cited the Bull & Bear Group as an example. If an investor had started in the group's gold fund in May 1980, then switched to its growth (stock) fund in January, and finally to its cash (money market) fund in September 1981, he would have seen his investment appreciate 45 percent. That's 27 percent a year as compared with 10 percent for the Standard and Poor 500 average.
The elegance of Mr. Schabacker's system is its conservatism. It follows trends rather than predicts them.
This theory parallels that of another well-known switch advisory service, Dick Fabian's Telephone Switch Newsletter. He rides the market up, keeping money in a fund as long as the current price is above its average for the previous 39 weeks. He hops off when the price drops below its average. By using this system and keeping alert, you shouldn't be caught holding the bag if the fund goes sour, he maintains.
A person usually invests in mutual funds for two reasons. First, he wants to spread his risk by diversifying into many different stocks but doesn't have $200 ,000 to throw around. Second, he is not a professional stockbroker and doesn't have time to become one. It's important to remember why you are in your present mutual fund before hopping to another, financial planners say.

I was born March 5, 1982 at Kaiser Hospital in Hollywood, California. My parents divorced when I was in Kindergarten, but I was very fortunate that they stayed friends, and I have never had any of the big problems that some divorced families have. I switched back between their two houses, my mom's in Pasadena and my dad's in Altadena. I don't know exactly when, but I'm guessing it was about third grade for me when my father remarried to my current step-mom, Susan.
I went to school at St. Mark's Episcopal School in Altadena from Kindergarten to Sixth Grade. At the end of sixth grade, we moved to Fallbrook so that I could attend public school, among other reasons. My dad wanted to get out of the smog of Los Angeles, and he had found Fallbrook through some work he had done down here. My dad is an astrophysicist for NASA/JPL at the California Institute of Technology. My mom also worked at Caltech in the Chemistry Department. She is currently working at the University of Arizona.
I attended Potter Jr. High School in Fallbrook where I spent most of my time helping out in the library and skipping classes to do odd jobs as needed for the school. During my eighth grade year I worked on the yearbook at the school and was responsible for moving the production of parts of the book from paper to digital using Adobe PageMaker.
About the same time I started seriously playing around with the Internet. I had been on it may times before, at Caltech, but it was nothing compared to what it is today. Back then it was mostly educational facilities and other big corporations who where on the internet. I designed my first webpage in eighth grade with the help of Gaylord Moxon. He was able to inspire me to continue with making webpages which I have done for numerous places including Fallbrook High School, which I am still responsible.
The Potter Jr. High School Librarian, Mrs. Joyce Miller, connected me with the "audio/visual guy" at Fallbrook High School, Mr. Fritz Schattschneider. This got me involved with TV Tech and quickly ASB at Fallbrook High. Ever since then I have been doing various audio, video and computer work around the high school and the community.
I currently work for Grand Tradition as their audio technician for weddings and other various events. In addition to Grand Tradition, I also work at Fallbrook Presbyterian Church as their technical advisor, doing sound, video and lighting. I have also become involved with Oceanside Unified School District's Truax Theater at El Camino High School. I also still maintain the website for Fallbrook High School along with the marquee, and various other needs as they come up.
My plans for the future are kind of up in the air, as I am not sure if I want to continue doing sound and video work or if I want to pursue something else. I am currently working on getting my MCSE and CCNA certification as well as my WebMaster's Degree from Palomar. I am currently thinking that I will venture back into the field of computers, although I'm not sure if I will focus on webpages or technical support.

Editor's note: If you're having trouble with that old Suzuki, BSA or BMW, Keith Fellenstein is your guy. From motorcycle tuning tips to detailed motorcycle engine repair, he can draw from a wealth of experience to help guide you to success. Send questions to: Keith's Garage, 1503 SW 42nd St., Topeka, KS 66609, or send an e-mail with "Keith's Garage" as the subject.
Electronic ignition
Q: Aloha. I have a BSA A65. It has an electronic ignition installed on it. It was running fine until my son started experimenting with it. The magnetic pickup was removed and he removed the carb. I have installed a new carb and reinstalled the magnetic pickup. The wires are all correct according to the wiring diagram that is under the seat. I need to know how to get it back to basic timing so that I can get it running again. My legs are worn out from kicking it over with no luck. Can you help me please? — David Arthur/Hawaii
A: Not knowing the brand of electronic ignition, it's hard to give exact directions, but this should get you close enough to get fire. Let's assume you have a Boyer electronic ignition, as they are the most common ignition used on old British bikes. Pull the spark plugs. Turn the engine over using the kickstarter or by turning the rear wheel with the bike on the centerstand and the gearbox in second gear and line up the full advance mark on the alternator rotor with the marker on the outer primary case. Install the magnetic rotor on the camshaft end under the points cover and finger tighten the fixing screw. Place the pickup plate over the rotor, with the plate centered on the screw holes, so you have equal range of adjustment both clockwise and counter-clockwise. Rotate the magnetic rotor under the pickup plate until the magnet is centered under the hole in the pickup plate. Take care not to rotate the engine, just the magnetic rotor plate. Tighten the fixing screw. This should be close enough to start the machine, after that you will need to check the timing with a strobe light to be accurate.
All good points, I was less thorough in my reply than I should have been. Thanks for the addition.
This is a BSA, be sure to use the counter-clockwise window in the pickup plate for initial timing. I have found that timing to the window usually results in advanced timing with an A65. You might wish to get the plate just a bit clockwise from "correct." Also be sure that the connections to the pickup are not reversed. How 'bout this, make your son kick the thing over until it starts as punishment for his curiosity. BTW Keith: the BSA drives the magnet via an idler pinion, NOT the camshaft.

Which side are you on?
95% of people claim to support organ donation, but only 48% of Pennsylvanians have proven it by registering as donors. That number is way too low, considering over 8,000 lives in PA are on the line. Which side are you really on?
2018 PACHC Challenge
Pennsylvania Association of Community Health Centers has partnered with the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the Center for Organ Recovery & Education and Gift of Life Donor Program — the two organ procurement organizations serving Pennsylvania, to support the 2018 Pennsylvania Community Health Center Challenge.
Become a Living Donor
You can make a life-changing impact for someone in need of a transplant right now. Living donation allows living individuals to donate a kidney or a portion of their liver or lung to loved ones or compatible strangers.
20 People Will Die Today Waiting for a Transplant.
Each day, 20 people in the United States die while waiting for a life-saving organ transplant and every 10 minutes, another person's name is added to the national transplant waiting list. Today, more than 118,000 people are waiting for life-saving organs, and hundreds of thousands more hope for life-enhancing tissue transplants.
It only takes 30 seconds to save a life.
When just one person makes the decision to donate, they can save up to 8 lives and enhance the lives of up to 75 more. You don't have to wait until you're getting or renewing your driver's license, learner's permit or photo ID to sign up. You can sign up to donate at any time, and it only takes 30 seconds.
Join the Millions Who Signed Up to Save Lives.
4.6 million people in Pennsylvania have signed up to be organ and tissue donors. However, more than 8,000 Pennsylvanians are still waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, while thousands more wait for life-enhancing tissue transplants. Will you help end the wait?
The #HumanSide of Donation
Not many people look back on their childhood and think of heart surgery. Ten years later, Brittany is living her life on her own terms. After a life-saving heart transplant at the age of 11, Brittany is in college and volunteers much of her time to the Center for Organ Recovery and Education.
There's a human side of organ and tissue donation.
Know the Truth
FACT: You do not have to wait until you're getting/renewing your driver's license, learner's permit, or photo ID to sign up to donate. You can sign up to be an organ donor at any time.

CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill. (AP) - July 28, 2008 --Jeff Hornagold loved being a UPS driver.
So when the suburban Chicago man died this week of lung cancer, longtime co-worker Michael McGowan agreed to take him on one last delivery.
McGowan transported Hornagold's body from Davenport Family Funeral Home to Saturday's funeral services in his UPS truck.
McGowan says he plans to keep a picture of Hornagold in his truck until he retires so that they can keep riding together.
Hornagold was a UPS driver for 20 years, and his wife Judy Hornagold described him as "just the happiest UPS man alive."
She says the special delivery was the perfect tribute.

Mahela Jayawardene and Thilan Samaraweera hit punishing hundreds to lead Sri Lanka's run charge against Pakistan on the opening day of the first Test here on Saturday as the tourists reached 406-3.
Jayawardene was unbeaten on 136 -- his 25th Test hundred -- while Samaraweera notched 130 not out for his eighth hundred after the tourists won the toss and decided to bat.
The 31-year-old Sri Lankan skipper, whose lack of form in recent one-day matches forced him to step down from the captaincy after the two-Test series against Pakistan, also completed 8,000 career Test runs during the innings.
Samaraweera matched his skipper shot for shot and the pair added 229 for the unfinished fourth-wicket stand, blunting Pakistan's three-pronged pace attack on an unresponsive pitch.
Jayawardene has so far knocked 20 boundaries during his 239-ball innings. The Sri Lankan skipper hit leg-spinner Danish Kaneria for his 15th boundary to reach his century -- his first against Pakistan.
He now has a hundred against all nine Test playing nations.
When on 37, Jayawardene hit debutant paceman Sohail Khan for a boundary to complete 8,000 runs in his 101st Test. He is the first Sri Lankan and 20th batsman in the world to achieve the feat.
Sri Lanka flay Pakistan in first Test
Mahela Jayawardene and Thilan Samaraweera hit punishing hundreds to lead Sri Lanka's run charge against Pakistan on the opening day of the first Test here on Saturday as the tourists reached 406-3.
Jaywardene also rode his luck, benefiting from three dropped catches.
When on 17, paceman Umar Gul dropped him off his own bowling and later on 43, Misbah-ul-Haq spilled an easy catch off a luckless Sohail.
On 123, Shoaib Malik grassed another catch, again off Sohail to cap a miserable day for the home team.
The more sedate Samaraweera hit Malik for his 15th boundary to complete his century. He has so far hit 21 boundaries during his 155-ball knock.
"It was a flat pitch," said Samaraweera. "Malinda (Warnapura) and Kumar (Sangakkara) had set the tone with their brisk batting and we carried that on for a good total."
Samaraweera said Pakistan had an off day.
"It can happen because Pakistan is playing a Test after a long time. We punished every loose ball," he said.
In the first session, opener Warnapura and Sangakkara added 90 runs for the second wicket to help Sri Lanka recover from the early loss of debutant opener Tharanga Paranavitana, dismissed for a first-ball duck by Gul.
Warnapura, who hit nine boundaries, edged paceman Yasir Arafat to Haq who held a low catch in the slip.
Sri Lanka, who reached 120-2 at lunch, lost well-set Sangakkara when he miscued a drive off Kaneria and was well caught by Haq at short mid-wicket.
Sangakkara hit nine boundaries and added 84 for the third wicket with Jayawardene.
Pakistan's first Test in 14 months failed to attract a big crowd as just a handful of schoolchildren watched the first day's play at the National Stadium.
Pakistan's last Test was against India at Bangalore in December 2007 and the team had not played a home Test since facing South Africa in October that year, with security concerns keeping foreign teams away from Pakistan in 2008.
The second Test will be played in Lahore from March 1.

Bowles rallies B-Meg past Meralco for semis spot
MANILA, Philippines—Import Denzel Bowles starred in a fiery fourth-period turnaround as B-Meg entered the semifinals with an 86-76 triumph over Meralco Sunday in the 2012 PBA Commissioners' Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
The 22-year-old Bowles picked up the intensity and outworked counterpart Earl Barron in helping the Llamados takeover the game with 10 straight markers in the last five minutes.
Bowles finished with 28 points and hauled down 11 boards, which went along with five assists and three blocks.
B-Meg, which will face sister squad Ginebra in the best-of-five semifinals, also clamped down on defense and held Meralco to zero field goal in almost 10 minutes.
Peter June Simon provided the spark in the pivotal run while Jonas Villanueva, who is coming off a yearlong layoff, injected energy to the Llamados side late in the third period.
Simon, who helped trim down the Bolts lead, added 16 points to the series-clinching victory.
Sol Mercado exploded for 27 points but started missing his shots when Meralco needed offense most in the fourth quarter.
The semifinals start on Wednesday at Ynares Arena in Antipolo City.
