Martin MacMahon: Canada snubbed from FIFA video game once again
Despite being extremely well funded, mainly because of the profits handed down from Wimbledon, British tennis has little top-level talent outside Andy Murray, who this year became Britain's first men's singles winner at the All England Club since 1936. The 38th-ranked Laura Robson is the only Briton in the women's top 50. "The opportunity that Andy Murray is now a Wimbledon champion, two-time grand slam champion, is immense for tennis in Britain," said Downey, who was formerly the regional president for Canada's largest brewery, Molson Canada. "Andy Murray's biggest contribution to tennis in Britain is winning. That's when you want to write about him, that's when people want to follow him, that's when kids are going to go out, pick up racquets and want to be Andy Murray. And I believe there's a bevy of young talent that's coming up in Great Britain that is going to follow Andy Murray to the podium." Downey will take up his new role on Jan. 6 as the replacement for Roger Draper, who announced in March that he was stepping down. In 2012, the LTA invested $109 million but with little tangible reward. Murray, who has been brought through largely outside the LTA structure, is the only British man in the top 150 in the rankings. The LTA said that Canadian tennis enjoyed significant growth at the grassroots and elite level under Downey, with more than 1.2 million people playing tennis at least twice a month. "This sport has far more importance in Britain than in Canada," Downey said. "The expectation will be higher of myself in this position." LTA chairman David Gregson said Downey's annual salary will be $480,000 less than half of what Draper was earning. "We set out to recruit a CEO with true success in business, with exceptional leadership credentials and ideally with significant knowledge of tennis," Gregson said. "Michael demonstrably fits the bill perfectly and was the unanimous choice of our recruitment panel."
THE GLOBE AND MAIL * A Stanley Cup rioter whom a provincial court judge called "the most serious of any case heard so far" has been sentenced to eight months in jail. Vasilios George Makris, 29, pleaded guilty to participating in a riot and assaulting another person in the June 15, 2011, Stanley Cup riot in downtown Vancouver. () * One day after Toronto Mayor Rob Ford celebrated C$660 million ($640.81 million) in federal funding for a Scarborough subway extension, another council battle is brewing over how Toronto will pay for transit expansion. Toronto City Council will be asked next month to decide how to fill a funding gap estimated to be more than C$900 million if it wishes to follow the underground route from Kennedy Station to Sheppard Avenue favored by the TTC and city council. () * The Alberta government plans to prohibit building in so-called floodways – designated areas close to rivers – to mitigate damages from future floods. Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths, charged with leading Alberta's flood recovery effort, said the Progressive Conservatives will introduce legislation this fall forcing municipalities to block development in the most flood-prone zones. () Reports in the business section: * The federal government has launched a public relations campaign to beat back criticism of its wireless policy by the Big Three industry players – even as the telecom companies face gag orders that limit what they can say on the topic. () * China has bought a chunk of one of the world's largest potash producers, giving the Asian country more control over what price it should pay for the fertilizer – a move that could drag down prices of the mineral and eat into profits of Canada's potash companies. () * After 10 years as the lead advertising agency for the Bank of Montreal, Cossette is resigning the account. The decision, announced on Tuesday, comes amid a tumultuous time in bank marketing in Canada. () NATIONAL POST * New Democrat member of Parliament Pat Martin accepted a personal loan from the New Democratic Party and numerous donations from labor unions to help pay down debt incurred in a defamation lawsuit over the robocalls case. Documents filed with the federal ethics commissioner by the Manitoba MP earlier this month show he accepted contributions to a legal defense fund from the Canadian Labour Congress, the United Steelworkers and the Canadian Union of Public Employees, and 14 other unions or locals. () * The British Columbia New Democratic Party (NDP), shell-shocked by the May election debacle and leader Adrian Dix's intention to resign, got a welcome dose of enthusiasm on Tuesday when four federal members of Parliament from British Columbia said they would consider bids to lead the provincial party.
A spokesperson from the company sent this e-mail to Goal when asked for further details on Canada's continued exclusion from the game: [U]nfortunately Canada is not in the game. The FIFA team would love to be able to include every club, league and tournament on earth but sometimes thats not possible. Licensing teams and leagues is a business decision based on market size and limited resources. Including Canada is something we would certainly look at in the future. The company did not reply by deadline to an e-mail requesting clarification on what specific barriers blocked Canada's inclusion. Specifically, did the Canadian Soccer Association hold out for too much money, or did the association not want involvement in the game at all for some reason? Perhaps it's a world ranking issue, or perhaps the fact that Canada hasn't competed in the World Cup in nearly three decades means they haven't earned the nod. If any of this information was provided as the reason for this nation's exclusion from the game, while still a bit irritating for those who want to represent the red and white virtually, at least we would know the thinking behind the snub. This article isn't meant to be an attack on EA Sports or its FIFA franchise, which consistently deliver excellent products which entertain and seem to improve year on year. But as a company with a significant Canadian presence, it can play a role in helping grow the game in this country. As stupid as it sounds, when kids play a game and are forced to represent another country rather than Canada when playing internationally, it could loosen their feeling of attachment to the national team. Video games, for better or worse, are a big part of children's lives. For anyone who follows the trials and tribulations of the national program trying to convince elite players with mixed loyalties and multiple international options to play for Canada, quite frankly this country needs every edge it can get. And besides, who wouldn't want to relive some of Canada's recent glorious matches in recent times?

Our bed is big. It's approximately the size of a football field. So our duvet is just as big. Bigger, even.
Buying duvet covers is tedious. Most duvet covers are too small, too short, too expensive or too ugly.
The ones I like are priced € 75,00 and up. Any cheaper and they usually don't fit. SO when I found one at Aldi two weeks ago for just € 24,99 I was delighted. Not only was it the right size, it had an extra piece to tuck it in. And it was one I really liked. So I bought it.
It looks nice, doesn't it? This is the photo on the package. I love the colours, the flowers, especially the pillow cases look lovely, don't they?!
Well… Here's what the pillow cases looked like in real life…
Yes, that's it. It's a white pillow case with just a few flower stems at the top. Or bottom, depending on how you'd want it on your bed.
I guess I now know why it was so damn cheap…

How does an employment contract affect termination at will?
Contact An Experienced Employment And Labor Law Lawyer Today 800-652-0408
An employer-employee relationship is amongst the most important in an individual's life. A strong relationship can provide stability, peace of mind, and the opportunity for advancement and increased financial compensation. A poor employer-employee relationship, on the other hand, can leave a worker stressed and concerned for his future. Therefore, it is critical, when possible, to fully define the relationship via an employment contract.
Why is an employment contract so important? It is critical because Florida recognizes termination at will, whereby an employer can fire an employee at any time. An employment contract can preempt this termination at will, specifically spelling out how an employee will be evaluated, how long he or she will be employed, and reasons for which termination will be justified. But what if an employer will not agree to an employment contract?
Even without a written and signed document, a contract may still exist. An implied contract may exist, for example, when an employee is given an employee handbook and he or she continues to work under the assumption that he or she is subjected to the contents of the handbook. A verbal statement may also be found to create a contract when that statement spells out certain terms of employment, including the length of the employment. It is worth noting, though, that verbal contracts are difficult to enforce, and they must be specific in nature to have a shot at enforcing.
When an employment dispute arises, the existence or nonexistence of an employment contract can become pivotal. If a contract is in place and an employee is fired in contradiction to the agreement, then legal action may be warranted. Thus, those who have questions about their employment situation and whether or not they have been legally wronged by their termination or have been treated unfairly under the terms of their contract may want to speak with a legal professional.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an alarmingly common mental health condition. Recent estimates suggest that as many as 1 in 10 people are afflicted in the United States. An understanding of PTSD among war veterans is now common knowledge, but many non-veterans also contract the disorder through childhood physical, sexual and emotional abuse, exposure to domestic violence as well as many kinds of traumatizing events sustained in adulthood.
A number of former mental health diagnoses are now being reevaluated as forms of PTSD, including Borderline personality disorder and mood dysregulation disorders. New neuroscience research is identifying both the brain areas involved in PTSD and new therapies that treat the condition as a brain injury, rather than a purely mental or behavioral problem.
Trauma has an everyday definition and a clinical definition. In everyday language, something as mundane as getting a parking ticket might be called a trauma. For mental health professionals, trauma is a life event in which the person is faced with the prospect of actual or perceived imminent death, physical violation, or the witnessing of these events occurring to others. Clinical trauma is about real life and death situations and events in which the person's safety, life or physical dignity are violated or threatened.
The Ultimate Guide To Healing From PTSD – Follow The Step By Step Process
Trauma can also be short or long-term and of a natural or human cause. Each of these variables typically results in a slightly different set of symptoms in the person with PTSD. Not everyone who goes through a traumatic event develops PTSD. The reasons for these difference between people is not yet well understood, but in-born temperament, early family experiences and general health are some of the suspected variables.
People who go through traumas of longer duration, and those who suffer traumas caused by other people usually develop the most severe symptoms of PTSD. High tech research done in recent years has shown conclusively that damage to the brain and nervous system occurs in PTSD. It is reversible, although it takes time. Improvement of symptoms, and even full recovery, are possible for those who find an appropriate treatment plan and stick to it.
Step #1
In healing PTSD recognizing that you have the condition. This is not always easy, because the trauma may not be consciously recalled, especially traumas involving childhood abuse. Even though the trauma may not be evident, the symptoms are unmistakable. The afflicted person can experience mood swings, sleep disturbance, nightmares, over-reaction to everyday events, racing thoughts, hypervigilance, avoidance, or obsession with anything that reminds the person of the trauma, inappropriate anger, self-injury and other destructive behavior.
Step #2
Understanding the condition itself. If you have PTSD, you cannot just "get over it", "move on", or "let it go" as many well intentioned people may suggest to you. PTSD is a physical injury to the brain and nervous system caused by an excessive and sustained level of stress hormones like cortisol that are released during and after trauma. It is as impossible to get over PTSD by will power as it is to get over a herniated disc by deciding you are better.
Step #3
Committing yourself to the process of healing from PTSD. You are re-training the more primitive areas of your brain, including the amygdala which acts like the alarm center for the brain and body. You must work consistently for a period of time to get results. Just as if you were learning to play the piano or ride a bike, which are also brain rewiring tasks, you must practice re-training and calming exercises each day for many days, weeks or even months.
Don't Take Too Long To Read It: Mental Health – An Indepth Analysis & Thorough Evaluation
Step #4
Healing is about finding some kind of human support for encouragement and acknowledgement along the way. Unfortunately, this can be challenging, because many people who have never had PTSD do not understand the condition and how to treat it, or may be unable to handle hearing about the trauma or symptoms. Luckily, there are increasing numbers of drop-in support groups, Internet forums and chat rooms for people healing from PTSD. A well-trained mental health professional is also an important resource to seek out.
Step #5
Learning mindfulness and connecting to your body through breath, yoga, meditation or some other daily practice that slows down your autonomic nervous system and brings you into the present moment. In the early stages of healing, it may be almost impossible to stay present and connected to the moment. Racing thoughts, waves of physical discomfort and disturbing mental images are all PTSD symptoms. Nonetheless, developing a daily practice routine of mindful calming of your nervous system is the beginning of rewiring your brain and the core of the healing process.
Step #6
Sticking with it. Once you (and hopefully, a supportive therapist) have charted out a daily program of calming mindfulness practices and life-style adjustments that help your nervous system calm down and heal, resisting the urge to give up too soon becomes the next challenge. Some cases of PTSD can be overcome fairly quickly, especially those caused by a single event, like a car accident, rape or an earthquake or hurricane. For these survivors of trauma, as little as a few weeks of therapy might be enough. For war veterans and victims of domestic and childhood abuse, six months or a year may be needed to retrain the brain.
The newly developed, neurologically based therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reintegration, (EMDR) has been shown repeatedly in research studies to be much more effective than talk therapy or drugs for resolving disturbing memories and eliminating the symptoms of PTSD. Some people find complete relief in as few as one or two sessions. Others need as many as 20, but the vast majority of people who undergo this form of therapy report significant improvement.
Other steps that are important in healing from PTSD include boosting nutrition, especially nutrients that are important for the brain and nervous system, including B vitamins, magnesium, manganese and Omega-3 fats. Whole foods are always the best source for nutrients, but supplements can be helpful also. Getting enough sleep, eliminating as much stress as possible until you are better and being kind and gentle with yourself are also vital for a full recovery.
PTSD is a serious and debilitating condition in which physical injury to the brain and nervous system have occurred. Healing from PTSD is entirely possible given the right therapies and practices that re-train neural pathways in the brain and body.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 166336
Make the bugzilla user home page reflect the new policies
Last modified: 2014-12-01 18:08:14 EST
It would be good if bugzilla displayed score sorted bugs and also picked out
important items like high priority information requests to follow the new bug
processing policies
Bringing Jeff Needle into discussion since he is involved with what I think you
mean with new bug processing policies. The front page (user home page) is a hack
currently and is not flexible or per user configurable. Bugzilla needs a better
"dashboard" so to speak written from scratch. Maybe one day I can find the time
to do it. Otherwise MCP is a good choice for now.
Red Hat Bugzilla is now using version 3.2 of the Bugzilla codebase and therefore this bug will need to be re-verified against the new release. With the updated code this bug may no longer be relevant or may have been fixed in the new code.
Updating bug version to 3.2.
The "PM Score" field was added for this purpose. Not sure if Daniel Riek has started setting it though.
Red Hat Bugzilla is now using version 3.4 of the Bugzilla codebase and
therefore this feature will need to be implemented against the new release.
Updating bug version to 3.2.
Red Hat has now upgraded to Bugzilla 3.6 and this bug will now be reassigned to that version. It would be helpful to the Bugzilla Development Team if this bug is verified to still be an issue with the latest version. If it is no longer an issue, then feel free to close, otherwise please comment that it is still a problem and we will try to address the issue as soon as we can.
Bugzilla Development Team
Closing as there has been no action on this bug in 6½ years. If this is still wanted, please reopen.

At LPK, we're committed to our community and passionate about improving the outcomes for the people who live there. This year, LPK decided to think differently about our annual campaign to support the United Way. Tapping into our unique perspective as a creative company, we decided to dream up a new approach in an effort to maximize our results and demonstrate how small gestures can yield a big impact. We imagined that by harnessing the power of our individual passions and the talents of our designers, we could generate increased awareness and broaden our positive impact.
Embracing this spirit, five LPK designers volunteered their time and skills to design artful and original graphic tees to raise money and awareness for LPK's long-time partner, the United Way. When deciding how much or how little direction to give our designers, we decided what better way to inspire them than to have them participate in a Fashion Thinking session. The designers spent an afternoon using Fashion Thinking's four principles to guide them and get their creative juices flowing.
Fashion Thinking's principles are built on the idea that fashion designers are unique in their approach to desire, beauty and objects. Fashion designers embrace the constant change of their industry and fluidly craft actionable concepts and strategies at break-neck speeds. LPK's designers took part in SCAMPER exercises that encouraged them to create multiple, divergent executions of a concept from a single starting point. The results are showcased in LPK's windows.
We decided to display the tees to maximize the potential of our project and generate increased awareness of the campaign within our community. We're giving individuals outside our company the chance help out and support the United Way by selling the tees through October 31st. All proceeds benefit the United Way of Greater Cincinnati and directly benefit our community.
We believe that together we can help design a brighter future by creating opportunities and weaving the fabric of positive change.
There's still time to get your tee and support the United Way. Get yours here today!

The Tahiti tournament kicks off on the 21 February 2011 until 27 February.
Mr. Robert Calvo from the League said it is important that players representing Vanuatu must be well prepared and eat good food when going through heavy or hard training.
"Without eating good food players will have not enough energy to play good football."
Healthy foods are something that we are told to eat all the time before a tournament."
Why does this happen? Well, it's simple. It is all about what we eat. Our bodies use food as energy. Both carbohydrates and proteins give our bodies energy.
"PVFA would like to give this amount of money to support our boys to eat good food after their training for the next four days."
"If our boys eat good food, they will be happy to play well for Vanuatu in OFC tournament."
"Physical energy is not the only thing that will benefit from eating complex carbs and proteins. Brain function will also increase by eating healthy foods." concluded Calvo.
Head coach of the team, Richard Iwai thank PVFA for their generous donation and said the sponsorship from Port Vila Football Association comes as a timely confidence booster for the team to bring back home positive results from the tournament in Tahiti.

The baby STILL is not here. Mandie is going to be pregnant forever. I am missing my family and missing cuddling up with my husband at night. (Or should I say cuddling up with my husband for an hour or two until Hannah wakes up and climbs into bed between us.)
It is hard being sedentary when I am usually doing a bunch of stuff. I am also not used to being up way late. Life is different, that's for sure.
I have used this opportunity to catch up on news and I must say that I am doing my best to not go off on too many rants. People are weird. Politicians are weird. The world is just plain strange.
Anyway, once the baby comes I will be teaching Mandie how to make homemade bread. She's been wanting to learn and since I am here already, I'll show her. I am also going to do a General's Chicken recipe for them. Just as soon as I find my recipe. I may have to ask KS for hers since hers started out as mine and she adjusted for her and her husband's taste.
Anyway, it is still a waiting game here. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

A senior U.N. official voiced concern on Wednesday about renewed rocket fire from Gaza into Israel and an increasingly volatile situation on the ground in the region.
Robert Serry, the U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, said the latest rocket firings represent a breach of a ceasefire agreement brokered by Egypt in November. The agreement ended eight days of violence in Gaza and Israel.
"The United Nations condemns the indiscriminate firing of rockets into civilian areas and calls on Israel to act with restraint," Serry said. "It is of paramount importance to refrain from violence in this tense atmosphere and for parties to work constructively in addressing the underlying issues,"
The renewed violence risked undermining an understanding reached between Israel and Gaza and rolling back the tangible improvements achieved since then in easing the closure and the security situation in southern Israel and Gaza.
"The United Nations will continue to support Egyptian efforts to restore the calm and fully implement the ceasefire understanding as the only viable way to address the unsustainable situation in Gaza," Serry said.
Meanwhile, more than 7,000 refugee families in Gaza will receive financial aid from the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. The funding will reconstruct and repair homes that were damaged during the November conflict. The Saudi Fund for Development donated $15.6 million toward the cause.
"We are very happy and pleased that only four months after the conflict and the damage or destruction of these shelters, we are able to distribute the cash subsidies to the affected 7,000 refugee families," Robert Turner, the director of UNRWA operations in Gaza, said. "We have never before been able to provide this scale of support for war-damaged refugees' shelters in such a short time. We are very thankful for this quick and generous donation by the Saudi Fund for Development."

3 Minute Thesis Competition - Physics & Astronomy Heat
Event Date and Time:Thu, 2017-03-02 16:00 - 17:30
Location:Henn 201
Local Contact:Janis McKenna and Douglas Scott
Intended Audience:Public
PHAS will participate in the UBC "3 Minute Thesis Competition" ( 3MT ) again this year. The PHAS heat will be on Thursday March 2, 4-5:30pm - in the colloquium slot.
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic competition that assists current graduate students with fostering effective presentation and communication skills. Participants have just three minutes to explain the breadth and significance of their research project to a non-specialist audience.
Whatever your future career after grad school, communicating what you are doing will be a critical skill. The best way to improve your presentation abilities is through experience. The 3MT competition is a simple opportunity to hone your skills, and we encourage all grad students to participate. (Students who have defended their PhD, but not yet graduated are eligible)
Our PHAS departmental heat will be Thursday March 2, 4-5:30pm in HENN 201
Full info on PHAS 3MT heat: http://www.phas.ubc.ca/~janis/3MT/
Register for the PHAS 3MT heat at: http://www.phas.ubc.ca/~janis/3MT/3MT.PHAS.Registration.html
Register by Monday February 27.
(we have to report # of participants so FOGS, who'll let us know how many we get to send to the semi-finals.)
For full info on the UBC-wide 3MT competition, see: http://3mt.grad.ubc.ca/
Rules are online: http://3mt.grad.ubc.ca/participate/rules/
Note: talks are 3 minutes, and just one single overhead slide may be used.
UBC departments run their own 3MT heats. Top student(s) in each heat advance to the UBC Semi-finals then possibly through to UBC Finals, (then maybe even the Canadian national 3MT, then the international 3MT.)
There are cash prizes for winners and top finalists at the UBC Finals, as well as at the national and international levels. Additionally, PHAS will award a certificate and a $100 cash prize to any PHAS graduate student who makes it to the UBC-wide 3MT Finals.
Come participate!
UBC Grad Studies is running the final "Strategies for presenting your thesis in 3 minutes" workshops on Wednesday:
In-person strategy workshop: Wednesday, February 1 10-11:30
Online webinar strategy workshop: Wednesday, February 1 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
Details, location, and registration for these 3MT Presentation Strategies workshops: http://3mt.grad.ubc.ca/schedule

New Technology We Do Not Need
It is supposed to be a new approach that increased the operating speed of the devices by translating data into electrical signals. It is all great and wonderful. However I have to ask one questions; Do we really mean this?
I mean I know people who uses devices like MP3s and I had never heard of anyone having memory problems. MP3s nowadays has so much storage space, it is almost impossible to fill them totally. Even if someone somehow managed to run out of storage, I should imagined that it wouldn't be hard to delete some garbage to clear storage.
I mean this seem like a wonderful new way of going things but it is an invention we need? From what I know; not really.
2 comments:
The discovery is not only applicable for storage devices but can be leverage in the use of computing processing or improvements in data storage for AI systems and even in the use for cutting edge space exploration (creating independent automated "self-thinking" systems with greater data storage thus reducing the "need" of human controllers)...and many other spin-offs too...like storing "one-self" and uploaded into a "clone brain/body" etc and more...the tech/disccovery though is still early days...
But to survive in a hostile universe which is against all "thinking" life forms...we need all the edge that we can get to stay ahead...
Un-like greedy self serving politicians willing to sacrifice humanity for the sake of finite and mortal gains...it is not like when one dies one can bring his/her "wealth over".
Good day.

Sorry but I don't get your comment. The first part make sense, then you went in "greedy self serving politicians willing to sacrifice humanity"?
How you get that from a device that increase memory storage?

The 2017 GMC Canyon will be third generation upgrade of GMC Canyon. The car will come in 3 versions – Midnight Edition having tinted windows, Chrome Edition embellished with chrome accents & Terrain Adventure Edition having off-road features. This mid-sized pickup will face off with the likes of Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma – two of its biggest rivals in its segment.
2017 GMC Canyon Interior and Exterior
The car interior will be quite spacious and offer an enjoyable, comfy ride to both passengers and driver. The vehicle interior would consist of double cabin, having enough space as well as fresh features. It will have large 8-inch color display screen, to offer enough info to driver. As many as 5 adult occupants can be accommodated. 2017 GMC Canyon dashboard would consist of high-end features. Seats will be wrapped in plush leather to make trips comfortable for occupants.
This heavy car would come with a new body platform. Its weight would be reduced due to a full-aluminum frame, but the car can be expected to be tough and support very heavy loads. It would have an aerodynamic construction and consist of new LED lights. Its exterior appearance would be changed with new styled wheels, refreshed trailer, chrome details, sills, bumpers & new front grille.
2017 GMC Canyon Engine and Fuel Economy
The vehicle would come mainly equipped with a 2.8 L Duramax turbo-diesel engine (XLD28) to make it extremely powerful and offer as much as 360 pound-feet of maximum torque. There will also be another of 2.5 L 4-cylinder diesel engine option to produce a peak power of 305 hp and maximum torque of 200 hp. It might even come with 3.6 liter V6 engine – the most robust engine in its segment. This would ensure better as well as stronger driving performance on any kind of terrain, whether on city roads or on highways.
Manufacturer of this vehicle has placed a lot of emphasis on its torque output and fuel efficiency. It is estimated that the mileage would be around 30 mpg. In case manufacturer goes ahead with automatic transmission gearbox, you can expect better fuel efficiency with the vehicle.
The diesel engine of 2017 Canyon is likely to be mated with a completely new 8-speed automatic transmission gearbox or a 6-speed manual transmission gearbox.
2017 GMC Canyon Special Features
This car would arrive with some high-end features on the dashboard. Its seats would be extremely comfortable and upholstered in superior materials, such as leather. There would be a large screen sitting on the center of its dashboard. You can expect various features, like advanced audio system, USB and more in 2017 GMC Canyon. Safety aspects would be standard in type, such as airbags, ABS, EBD etc.
2017 GMC Canyon Price and Release Date
There is no official information about cost of this vehicle. However, analysts expect that the model would come with price tag of about 20,000 USD. It is speculated that the 2017 GMC Canyon would release sometime during first quarter of 2016. Much like price, there is no official info on the release date of this vehicle either.

In the twelfth century, Hildegard addressed issues that are even more relevant in the twenty-first century.
The Environment
Medieval people had a very different relationship with the natural environment than we do today. On the one hand, they were far more intimately connected to it. Without modern technology providing a protective artificial environment moderating everything from the cycles of light and darkness to disease and weather, their lives revolved around the rhythms, sounds, textures, and smells of the natural world. On the other hand, because the natural world was the fabric of their existence, they were less likely to idolize and fetishize their encounters with it. Sky and soil, flora and fauna, were simply the only world they knew.
Much of Hildegard's work - including her visionary theology, science, and music - was inspired by and celebrated the natural world. In this sense, she was one of most vocal of medieval "environmentalists." But her understanding of it was firmly Christian. Like St. Paul and St. Patrick before her, or St. Francis after her, she did not worship the creation but rejoiced in what the creation revealed about its Creator.
Central to much of Hildegard's work is the concept of viriditas, a Latin word meaning vitality, fecundity, lushness, verdure, or growth. She understood this to be an animating principle for the natural world, including animals and humans. According to the Old Testament, in the beginning God spoke the universe into being. The word of God brings forth movement, energy, and reproduction in all living things. That reveals God's character, and through appreciation of the natural life he creates we can more deeply know and experience him.
Therefore, engaging with and understanding nature is a means to see through it to what lies behind it, and an intimate connection with the natural world makes possible an even more intimate connection with the supernatural.
Of course women played critical roles in medieval society, but individual women rarely had influence as public figures or the leaders of visible institutions. Those who did were usually noblewomen who had political significance because of family connections or the alliances their marriages could create.
Hildegard was unique because her influence came from her professional accomplishments, already recognized in her day. There were, of course, other women who ran convents of nuns, but Hildegard's writing, composition, and public speaking gave her visibility and earned her recognition far beyond other women of her era. Nearly five hundred years before Gutenberg's press revolutionized book publishing, Hildegard's prolific writing on theology and natural science, as well as her musical compositions, were widely copied and read. She was also a popular and widely traveled (for her time) public speaker on a variety of topics.
Hildegard's influence also came from her professional relationships and written correspondence with male leaders, including Bernard of Clairvaux, various bishops, and the pope himself. During her era, it was almost unheard of for a woman to exchange views and advice with such powerful figures.
One of the best indicators of Hildegard's contemporary significance was the effort to canonize her (declare her an official saint of the Roman Catholic Church) soon after her death. The process has several stages, and while she didn't reach the final stage of full canonization for almost nine hundred years, she was one of the first people for whom the relatively new procedures of canonization were initiated.
The political landscape and communications technology of the twelfth century limited Hildegard's influence during her lifetime to parts of what are now Germany and France. Over the centuries, as her works were more widely published, more of the world has come to recognize the significance of her accomplishments.
The Rule of St. Benedict says that the primary duty of monastic life is to take care of the sick. As a Benedictine nun, Hildegard lived her life according to this principle. She was an expert herbalist and healer who dedicated herself to the care of the sick and infirm, toiling constantly to alleviate the physical and spiritual sufferings of everyone who sought her help.
The Catholic Church taught (and still teaches) that God created a natural world that is good. It follows that many natural substances have properties that are beneficial for humans. Medieval scholars believed that nature is God's apothecary, or pharmacy, to use the modern term. Science and medicine sought to discover these natural properties and harness them for healing purposes. Hildegard and other medieval healers practiced the most advanced natural sciences known at that time. Medieval monasteries often had large gardens where a variety of useful herbs were grown. They were also places where people could go for healing, as well as centers of scientific and medical learning.
Hildegard authored two works relating to healing. The first is Causae et Cure, which examines the causes and cures of diseases, offering remedies that are mainly plant-based. The second is Physica, a compendium of botany, zoology, stones, metals, and elements, describing their physical and medicinal properties. These books are not based on Hildegard's visions. However, as she once wrote to a schoolmaster in Paris, "Thus I am not steeped in human knowledge nor have I any particular intellectual gifts. Neither am I bursting with physical health. Rather, I rely exclusively on the help of God."
The Roman Catholic Church had roughly the same structure during the twelfth century that it does today. Local priests ministered to lay people. Bishops had authority over the churches and priests within their diocese, archbishops over several adjacent dioceses. At the top of the magisterium was the bishop of Rome, the pope. Abbots and abbesses were also under the authority of the pope through the hierarchy of their religious orders. From time to time, councils and synods were held to sort out the Church's position on controversial issues. But while the Church had roughly the same structure as today, the society it operated within was very different from ours.

The focus at the recent Vanquish announcement was on gameplay, with Sega and Platinum only revealing the game's story to have something to do with a conflict between Russia and America. Now we have additional story details.
At some point in the future, America has a 51st state. The state of Providence was built as an outer space colony in order to gather solar energy. The energy is converted to microwaves and beamed down to the mainland below (the IGN science department is off for April Fools' today -- it's April Fools' Day in Japan right now -- so we're not sure if this is actually feasible).
Expectedly, Providence gets taken over by baddies. They use the colony's energy beaming capabilities to send a destructive blast of energy to... San Francisco? 500,000 people are killed (Don't worry... the newly opened IGN offices are actually shielded in the event of microwave blasts from above -- you'll still get your video game news).
Simultaneous to this attack, the US government receives an alert from "Star of Russia." A group that staged a recent coup in Russia demands a full surrender from America, or they promise an attack on New York.
That's where main character Sam comes into the picture. Well, almost. The official prologue text mentions a decorated war veteran named Burns. The last hope for America against these attacks, Burns' fleet of ships is already in approach of the Providence colony.
Sam has been dispatched by DARPA along side the fleet. He's equipped with an experimental ARS (Augmented Reaction Suit) body suit. While on the surface, his mission is to test out the suit, he's actually received secret orders.
This sounds like a odd premise, but this is a game from Shinji Mikami, who last made God Hand. We saw the prologue text with our own eyes in Famitsu, so this isn't a case of your innocent IGN editors getting tricked.
The magazine also has a few bits about gameplay, showing the ARS suit in action. As mentioned during the initial Tokyo preview, you'll use the suit for both long range and melee combat, and as a means of propelling yourself with high speed using a "boost" maneuver. The suit lets you switch into AR Mode, which is the name for the previously announced bullet-time feature that slows down all the action around you (of course, what's really going on is that your actions are being sped up).
Also in the magazine's preview is indication of a cooperative element to the game. This appears to be cooperation exclusively with CPU-based allies, as Mikami has indicated in the past that there are no plans for multiplayer.
Vanquish is currently 80% complete and is speeding toward a winter release. In a short two question interview with Famitsu this week, Mikami said that the game has entered the balance adjustment phase, so we'll hopefully get a chance to save America from Planet Russia in the not-so-distant future.

Slate Goes Gray
A special issue on old people.
Last week, the Republican Party nominated John McCain as its candidate for president. As you may have heard, McCain is no spring chicken. Having just turned 72, he would be the oldest man ever elected president of the United States if he wins. McCain's age has provided much fodder for the nation's political cartoonists and late night television hosts, who have mercilessly portrayed the candidate as a doddering coot.
Here at Slate, we take the subject of growing old more seriously. Heck, it's going to happen to all of us someday—if we're lucky. And so we have commissioned a series of articles on aging and the aged. We wanted to see the world through the eyes of our elders, to explore the ways in which old folks influence our economy, politics, and culture. To walk a mile in their Rockports.
Over the next three days, we will publish a range of stories about the elderly experience. Farhad Manjoo reports on new technologies designed to make Gram and Gramps better drivers. Michael Agger makes a study of senior citizens who, unlike John McCain, have flocked to the Web. Jacob Leibenluft, Slate's Green Lantern, determines whether old people are good or bad for the environment. Justin Peters explains why the best adult diapers come from Europe.
Elsewhere in the issue, Jessica Winter plumbs our fondness for geezer buddy movies like Grumpy Old Men and The Bucket List. Jody Rosen catalogs the greatest songs about aging and mortality, from Jay-Z's "30 Something" to the Grateful Dead's "Touch of Grey." Sara Dickerman tells you what eating will be like when you're old. Witold Rybczynski explains why architects never retire.
Throughout the week, Slate will publish diary entries by Leon Despres, a former Chicago alderman, renowned for standing up to the city's political machine, who will explain what if feels like to be 100 years old. And finally, on Thursday, we will present "80 over 80"—our interactive list of the most powerful octogenarians in America. Who will be top dog? Sumner Redstone? John Paul Stevens? Elaine Stritch? With so many old folks still at the peak of their powers, it's going to be a tough call. Sorry, Sen. McCain—you've still got a few years left before you'll be in the running. We'll see what you're up to in 2016.

Palaszczuk Government grants boost innovation in five Queensland businesses
An Advance Queensland Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) grant will help a Brisbane software company develop new digital streaming technology for video walls.
Minister for Innovation, Science and the Digital Economy Leeanne Enoch said ImmersaView will use its KTP grant to employ a QUT graduate specialising in graphics software development for a 12-month project.
Ms Enoch said the graduate's work will position the Banyo company - and Queensland - as an industry leader in commercial video streaming technology.
"Queensland has developed a reputation for producing cutting-edge software for computer gaming and video graphics," Ms Enoch said.
"This company has developed a niche position developing video encoding and decoding software for an expanding global market for video streaming, recording and review.
"The government's $47,200 KTP grant will give them a research and development edge, potentially opening up new and exciting export markets and creating knowledge jobs for our up and coming video graphics software developers.
"The knowledge transfer between ImmersaView's development team and QUT will put them into a market-leading position within the global market for video walls, which is forecast to reach a value of more than AUD $14 billion by 2020," Ms Enoch said.
ImmersaView President Dr Andy Boud said the KTP grant would help his company bridge an emerging quality gap in the global market for ultra-high resolution video streaming and how it is displayed.
"At the moment, we have a situation where video resolution is advancing in leaps and bounds across the globe," Dr Boud said.
"Just a few years ago, having a 1080 high-definition display was considered the norm, now it's 4K ultra-high definition and companies are already working towards 8K.
"This is great news for consumers, but it currently poses problems for commercial customers who might be looking at creating video walls for increasingly larger scale resolutions.
"For these types of installations, a software solution can assist bridging the gap between high definition video and the ultra-high definition standards currently revolutionising the way we visualise and perceive the world around us.
"We've already developed an early prototype to do this, but we need to devote a lot of creative energy into optimising our process to make it commercially viable and scalable.
"This is where our partnership with QUT and the talents of their graduate will come to the fore," Dr Boud said.
"We're confident that in the next 12 months we will deliver an improved solution and propel our technology forward."
The four other Queensland businesses approved for KTP Round 8 funding are:
- Brisbane-based DoseMe, who will receive $50,000 funding support to commercialise new precision dosing technology for cancer treatment with the help of a graduate from the University of Queensland.
- The Water and Carbon Group, also from Brisbane, who will receive $50,000 funding support to develop world-first technology for wastewater treatment with the help of a graduate from the University of Queensland.
- Brisbane-based Mandalay Technologies, who will receive $50,000 funding support to develop new technology for waste management and recycling, also with the help of a QUT graduate, and
- Gold Coast-based CartonCloud, who will receive $50,000 funding support to develop route optimisation software for salespeople, with the help of a QUT graduate.

This bronze scuplture (or brass with bronzed patina) features 2 golf bags with clubs, one large pro bag with handle, the other smaller with no handle, both sitting on a base shaped like a green. 8.75" high. Base is 5" x 4.25". It's very heavy. Felted base. The 2 bags may have been connected at one time at a tiny place where the clubs come together and almost touch. There's a small straight line gap there. It isn't visually distracting but I'm mentioning to be thorough.
We purchased it from the estate of Joe Phillips, popular Wilson Sporting Goods figure for more than 50 years, who died at the age of 77, on March 20th, 2006. The family used it as a doorstop. On-line information about him says: "As vice-president of golf promotions, Phillips' responsibilities included negotiating and signing golf professionals on both the PGA and LPGA tours as well as researching and developing new club designs, including Wilson's JP wedge series. The list of touring professionals Phillips worked with reads like a virtual who's who of golf, including Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson and Patty Berg. A native of Philadelphia and an accomplished saxophonist, Phillips attended Granoff School of Music. He is a past president of Golf Manufacturers and Distributors Association, and former chairman of the National Golf Foundation. In 1984 Wilson Sporting Goods established the Joe Phillips Cup in his honor, with Sarazen the first recipient." Most of his golf related items were donated to the PGA.

It happens to all of us – there's an app you like but after some time the developer either abandons the app or they stop updating it, having replaced it with something new. Evernote did it recently when they decommissioned their incredibly handy Hello app, Filemaker did it with Bento and thousands of smaller developers have done it.
Security company Appthority has released their most recent security report [PDF link, requires you enter an email address]. They say "dead apps" are "the biggest risk to the Enterprise".
Their research has found almost 43% of apps are either stale (where the version of the app in the app store is newer than the version deployed on user devices) or dead (the app has been removed from the App Store but remains on a user device). They looked at a collection of over 3 million apps and how these apps were being consumed in enterprise environments.
They have found Android dominates overall market share of the world's consumer smartphones but Apple's iOS overwhelmingly dominates the enterprise market share at 85% of employee devices. One reason for this is possibly a perception Android is less safe according to Appthority.

Coach: Judy Garay
It's interesting how things come in full circle in life.... Judy was Canada's top Breaststroker in the late 70's, where she held the Canadian record and was a member of the 1978 Commonwealth Team. At that time, a lanky 17 year old kid walked into her club, she must of had pity for him, for she took him under her guide and helped him along in the world of competitive swimming and breaststroke. That kid was Coach Doug..... Coach Judy, 2014 World Masters Champion in the 50 Breast, comes to our group was a vast amount of swimming knowledge and calmness. While at U of T doing her first degree, Judy was undefeated in her breaststroke events and voted the Female Athlete of the Year. At the age of 42, she returned to U of T for her teaching degree, made the varsity team and set an unofficial world record in the 50 breast! Never say never to Judy.....

He attended University Of Pittsburgh on a full athletic scholarship. Warren brings an extensive knowledge of swimming and coaching to the NTMSC Family.

Chief Executive Communications Officer: Chris Smelt
Chris's positive and
upbeat energy is always fun to be around. He's been an avid swimmer from age
group (Cornwall Sea Lions) through his Ryerson days in the early 80's (swam on
Coach Doug's relay team). He feels at one with Triathletes and he's done many
of them - but very sensibly - he prefers to take transitions at a more leisurely
pace - they usually take many months or years to get through. He eschews all
rules regarding racing in - for instance - 'an Ironman' and prefers events like
the OUAA championships in 1985 to do the swimming bit...the Rideau Lakes Cycle
Tour 10 times 1991-2005 for the biking bit and the 2004 Marathon for the running
