Great product!
I have had a positive experience with Reacted MultiMin by Ortho Molecular Products. I have used it for maybe six months. I use it to supplement my mineral intake.
I like Reacted MultiMin because it contains a variety of minerals in the glycinate chelate form. I cannot tolerate minerals in the popular citrate form so it has been difficult to find a product that combines all the minerals Im seeking in a form I
No dislikes so far.

With all the good minerals and nutrients in these supplements, why do you have to "blow it" by adding Magnesium Stearate? I had been taking these minerals and they seem to work, however, I cannot afford to consume anything that will harm this already weakened system. Magnesium Stearate is one such additive! Why not remove it from this product? If you ever decide to remove it from this product in the future, please let me know. Thanks. Liz

Hi there Elizabeth, we apologize about this but we are a distribution center for the manufacturer of this product, which is Ortho Molecular Products. We cannot control what is added or removed from this product for we are not the ones who makes it. We will forward this situation to the manufacturer for consideration.

Editors' 50 Favorite Rooms
See our top spaces and find out the decorating details we love.
Coastal Bedroom Hideaway
"I adore swags of fabric in similar prints—especially crisp navy and white. It's not too matchy and has the ultimate statement-making power." —Bradley Nesbitt, assistant market editor
Preppy Dining Room
"A beach house wouldn't be complete without the quintessential pretty color combo: green and pink. The touches of bamboo and coral add to the cheery coastal vibe." —Bradley Nesbitt, assistant market editor
Breezy Bedroom
"There's something so innocent and effortless, yet sexy, about an open-air room with high-beam ceilings and breezy mosquito nets. Makes me want to sleep all day." —Bradley Nesbitt, assistant market editor
Haphazard Storage
"The best way to achieve the cool factor is to not achieve it at all. I love how the books, art, and knickknacks are casually scattered throughout. It's so intriguing—if this room were a person, I'd want to have dinner with her." —Bradley Nesbitt, assistant market editor
Bamboo-Inspired Bedroom
"I'm in love with this fabric. It gives the look of a bamboo-caning bed frame, yet comes from from upholstery. The garden stools and pops of yellow add to the cheeriness." —Bradley Nesbitt, assistant market editor
Al Fresco Living Room
"I'm drawn to outdoor living areas. In fact, I've spent more time on my outdoor sofa than the one in my living room. With two young children, I'm keen on tough, stain-resistant fabrics, too." —Julia Rutland, senior food editor
Outdoor Coastal Kitchen
"What a dream kitchen—everything at your fingertips for creating a delicious dinner party. I like the horseshoe design—both the cook and guests get a great view." —Julia Rutland, senior food editor
Crisp, Clean Porch
"Ah, the power of paint. Crisp white floors and screened walls bounce light all around. The striped awning and kelly-green ceiling add color without overpowering the view." —Julia Rutland, senior food editor
Retro Kitchen
"I love to cook so I stay in my kitchen practically all day. If this happy place were mine, I'd be tempted to sleep there, too. I love retro but need modern colors and technology. The sky blue stove and refrigerator put the 'fun' in functional." —Julia Rutland, senior food editor
Pastel Kitchen
"Clearly I'm a huge fan of the cozy retro look that's modernized where it counts. There's loads of texture that make it interesting from the smooth painted floors to the notched bead board walls and plank ceiling." —Julia Rutland, senior food editor
Blue Southern Kitchen
"The iridescent tile backsplash and soft blue cabinets set a relaxing tone for this South Carolina beach house. I love that the island can hide a mess when entertaining!" —Amy Mitchell, managing editor
Meaningful Details
"It's the details that make this living room—the nailhead trim on the sofa, the subtle stripe in the sand-colored rug, and the coffee table's driftwood base. Basic, but far from boring." —Amy Mitchell, managing editor
Outdoor Dining Room
"On the coast, outdoor rooms are just as important as interior spaces. This porch, with its simple furniture and breathtaking view, would be my dining room." —Amy Mitchell, managing editor
Vintage Appeal
"I love that these homeowners embraced the 1970s architecture and kept the built-in sofas. (They provide ease in furniture arranging—none!). You can't go wrong with the classic nautical color scheme." —Amy Mitchell, managing editor
Space-Saving Bedroom
"These built-in twin beds make the best use of a tiny bedroom. A light palette and minimal pattern keeps the small space feeling airy." —Amy Mitchell, managing editor
Modern Kitchen
"I love the tone of this kitchen: slightly sophisticated and modern. My favorite element? That fabulous tile that covers a whole wall! The brass pendant lamps and open shelving tie for second place." —Kristen Fielder, assistant photo editor
Sofa Statement
"In an otherwise neutral space, this Chesterfield sofa—covered in a great striped linen—draws me in. What a fun and decidedly not everyday use of the space! In my (far-off) future beach house, I'm definitely throwing a cool sofa at the end of my bed." —Kristen Fielder, assistant photo editor
Classic, Causal Bedroom
"The best bedrooms invite you to chill out—sandy feet and all—but there's no rule that says they can't be buttoned-up. Crisp whites, dreamy blues, and a sweet woven texture make this a classic yet casual bedroom." —Kristen Fielder, assistant photo editor
Elegant Dining Arrangement
"From the ocean view to the classic Eames chair set on new bases, everything about this room screams favorite. Not only is this a great use of the space, but there are so many decorating ideas: I want that chandelier!" —Kristen Fielder, assistant photo editor
Colorful Chaos
"My mom's going to die, but I actually like a little bit of clutter and disorganization. This room has that perfect mix of undone-ness. I love the idea of pulling up a sofa to the table, and the hit of yellow on the chairs just makes the blue that much more appealing!" —Kristen Fielder, assistant photo editor
Adventurous Living Area
"Every piece in this room has a story to tell. From the open shell book to the surfboard overhead, you know these people are adventurous, and they like to have fun." —Jacquelyne Froeber, travel editor
Chill Hangout
"This eco-friendly surf shack is incredible! It's so organized and flawless, yet it feels comfortable. Also, the dog seems really happy in the space which is the sign of great design." —Jacquelyne Froeber, travel editor
Sea View
"This view of St. Croix makes me want to hop a plane like yesterday, sit in that adorable chair, and watch the world go by with a cup of green tea." —Jacquelyne Froeber, travel editor
Outdoor Haven
"This amazing concrete structure suddenly becomes warm and inviting thanks to the brilliant blue lap pool. It makes you want to exercise!" —Jacquelyne Froeber, travel editor
Open Air Bathroom
"The design of the bath is multipurpose: You can relax in the tub, open the window and enjoy the outdoors, or yell to your significant other to get you whatever you need. Genius!" —Jacquelyne Froeber, Travel Editor
Classic Caribbean Bedroom
"Dressed in crisp white linens and Caribbean blues, this island retreat makes me dream of a permanent vacation." —Sara Peterson, Editor
Casual Coastal Living Room
"Subtle greens and blues add to the total chill-out factor. Love the corner seating surrounded by the view—it's so intimate and relaxing!" —Sara Peterson, Editor
Ocean Haven
"Wide open to the tropical breeze and endless vista, the only thing this room is missing is me!" —Sara Peterson, Editor
Open Beach Kitchen
"It's a beautiful marriage of form and function, especially for entertaining. Everything goes with white—anything you put on the open shelving instantly becomes art." —Sara Peterson, Editor
Beach Chic Bedroom
"Natural textures and pops of tropical green create my perfect haven after a long day at the office; just add my favorite novel!" —Sara Peterson, Editor
Dining Room Statement
"I think decorating your home is a lot like accessorizing an outfit—you need something that stands out. In this room it's the statement-making light fixture that sets a cool, casual vibe. The bench, wicker chairs, and rug-free plank floors keep things breezy and allow the view to command the attention." —Alison Miller, Associate Editor
Surfer Pad
"In my next life, I want to be a Gidget-type, who marries Moondoogie and lives in a laid-back bungalow like this one. From the oversize artwork and bamboo blinds to the whitewashed everything, this open living room is quintessentially shack-chic. I can imagine an intimate party here at sunset with margaritas and the music turned up high." —Alison Miller, Associate Editor
Ideal Porch
"I'm a sucker for a daybed, be it to accommodate a catnap or as a spot to curl up and read a book. This nook, on the sleeping porch with a shiplap wall, is super-inviting because of its oversize monogrammed pillows, as well as the calming sandy, white, and sea-green tones." —Alison Miller, Associate Editor
Pattern Pretty
"This room is proof that coastal and formal styles aren't mutually exclusive. A vintage rattan headboard grounds the deep ocean-blue silk canopy, and the vibrant print fabric reminds me of a favorite tunic. I'd love to have this master bedroom, with its nod to the coast, in my landlocked home." —Alison Miller, Associate Editor
Outdoor Accents
"I love the cheerful leaf-green-and-white palette of this cottage dining room, not to mention the ocean view. The room feels crisp and sophisticated, but the sea-grass rug, butted-board walls, and pops of coral give it a lot of warmth and keep it totally coastal." —Alison Miller, Associate Editor
Sunny Bedroom
"There is so much to love here that I don't even know where to begin. The antler wall sconces (once brown, then painted white), the textured grasscloth walls by Ralph Lauren that instantly make me breathe easy, and the fireplace bed turned into a sparkling museum of sea glass are perfection. It's definitely a high contender on my dream bedroom list." —Sarah Latta, Assistant Features Editor
Feminine Half Bath
"The Cole & Son Alpana wallpaper is to die for—and the fact that it's paired with an ornate 1940s French Art Deco mirror and a modular Ann Sacks sink makes it even more fabulous." —Sarah Latta, Assistant Features Editor
Modern Island Kitchen
"I famously don't like to cook, but the relaxed, airy feel of this kitchen might just inspire me. The cowry-shell fruit bowl, woven baskets, and hanging lamps give the space a cool, ethnic feel." —Sarah Latta, Assistant Features Editor
Fine Design
"This is the definition of smart design. The decorator took an extra closet and turned it into a chic reading nook with a built-in twin bed, wall sconces, and inspiring eggplant-colored fabric. How do I take a time-out here?" —Sarah Latta, Assistant Features Editor
Pet-Friendly Bedroom
"The photo of the family's dog makes me laugh. How could you ever go to bed angry with a surfing pup hanging above your head?" —Sarah Latta, Assistant Features Editor
Awe-Inspiring Living Room
"This room has it all: charming architecture, casual-yet-sophisticated furnishings, and French doors that open right up to the sky and sea. With those plush chairs and that jaw-dropping view, I can't imagine a more tranquil place to relax and catch up with friends." —Steele Marcoux, Design Editor
Fresh Air Retreat
"Sometimes, the best rooms are outside—especially at the beach, where outdoor living rooms have all the comforts of indoor spaces plus coastal sights, sounds, and smells that reinforce that sense of escape." —Steele Marcoux, Design Editor
Nautical Style
"This room defines my personal beach style: slick modern finishes meet classic nautical stripes in an almost-all-white palette that truly lets the ocean take center stage." —Steele Marcoux, Design Editor
Whimisical Family Room
"Every beach house needs a dose of Sister Parish's classic combination of color, pattern, and whimsy." —Steele Marcoux, Design Editor
Black and White Master Suite
"You can never go wrong with black and white plus a little woven texture—especially in an island bedroom (or at home where you dream of escaping to the islands!)." —Steele Marcoux, Design Editor
All-Natural Bath
"The use of different textures makes this monochromatic bath more interesting. I love the moat of river rocks around the tub. It's a stylish but natural touch." —Kelly Tomas, Web/Production Associate
Pop Art
"There's something about a simple, streamlined look that really appeals to me. You can hardly get a cleaner look than white floors, walls, and furniture. A single painted wall, seat cushions, and artwork add a little warmth so the room doesn't feel cold." —Kelly Tomas, Web/Production Associate
Pink Retreat
"This enclosed porch provides picture-perfect views of the water and a comfortable banquette from which to soak it all in. What more could you ask for?" —Kelly Tomas, Web/Production Associate
Comfortable Seating Arrangement
"I love the European elegance of this living room. It pulls together a rich palette of emerald green, turquoise, and marine blue and pairs them with different patterns. The result is simply beautiful." —Kelly Tomas, Web/Production Associate
Tied Together
"This is my ideal bedroom. It starts with a great neutral base and uses bold and beautiful accessories to introduce pops of color. I also love how the rug ties the whole look together." —Kelly Tomas, Web/Production Associate

Mark Cuban on Blake Griffin's fall vs. JJ Barea: "We sent flowers to his family, condolences"
The Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers got into a bit of a scuffle the other night during their game. Clippers big man Blake Griffn and Mavericks PG JJ Barea tussled, with Barea earning a Flagrant 2 and an ejection for putting his hands on Griffin's neck and pushing him to the ground.
It really was a sight to see, whether Griffin flopped or not.
Meanwhile, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was asked about the incident and responded with some heavy sarcasm that feels par for the course.
Via Twitter:
Griffin does have a bit of a reputation for acting and flopping, and Barea is hilariously undersized compared to him. Then again, the throat is a vulnerable area. Who knows if the fall was real or fake?
I'm just glad Cuban has a sense of humor about it.
Watch Derrick Rose leave Patty Mills standing still with eurostep, huge dunk
New York Knicks point guard Derrick Rose still has some explosivity left in his legs. Against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night, the former MVP left Spurs guard Patty Mills standing still on a thunderous dunk.
The play came in the fourth quarter with Rose on the break and Mills the only Spurs player defending the basket. Rose had a full head of steam, and it appeared Mills was going to for the charge call.
Rose then craftily eurostepped his way around Mills, leading to the jam.
San Antonio beat New York, 106-98.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich on resting players: "It's complicated … kind of like healthcare"
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, along with LeBron James, has been at the center of the discussion about resting players in the NBA. The legendary coach has been credited with the idea to rest star players en masse during the season to save them for the playoffs. Meanwhile, after the Cavaliers sat LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love during a primetime matchup on ESPN, the team received a call from the league.
Commissioner Adam Silver has been active in talking about the issue as of late, and has even issued a memo to team owners to be considerate about resting players.
Popovich, meanwhile, thinks the issue isn't quite as easy to clear up. Speaking with ESPN, the Spurs coach noted that each party in an NBA team has a different role and goal, and that sometimes those goals pull opposite each other.
Additionally, Popovich said asking owners to step in to make a decision over a coach or GM could be a serious issue.
Via ESPN:
But we all have different roles, different jobs, and different goals. We can't satisfy everybody. But I think that every owner's gonna be different. I think it's a slippery slope, and makes it difficult to keep trust, and camaraderie to the degree that I think you have to have to be successful in this league if owners get too involved in what coaches and GMs are doing."
"I think keeping owners informed about what's going on is mandatory, and having input is fine," Popovich said. "But I think there has to be an understanding that coaches and GMs have brains also, and we know who pays the bills. It's a slippery slope, I think, if owners got too involved in that process. That trust relationship in those three areas is really important in creating a culture and making something that can be long-lasting.
What Popovich is basically pointing out is that GMs and coaches are hired to be the basketball minds for a reason. Having owners meddle in day-to-day decisions like resting players could muddy that relationship.
The San Antonio coach did concede that the best idea might be to rest players when they are at home, in front of home crowds who are more likely to have already seen their top players that season simply due to repetition. But Popovich isn't in favor of broad, sweeping mandates on resting players from the league since that wouldn't always be prudent.
"That's why no basic rule has been written, so to speak," said Popovich. "Because you can't write a rule that covers everything. It's complicated … kind of like healthcare."

Next year, some of those completing the national census forms will be asked probing questions on their income, employment, sexuality, ethnicity, and education. About 80% of us will answer a shorter version which asks only our name, age, gender, marital status, family situation, and mother tongue. If Bill S-18, a proposed amendment to the Statistics Act now before the Senate, is approved by Parliament, all of us should answer a new question: Will we permit full, public disclosure of our census answers in the year 2098? If we leave the question unanswered, the default will be NO. I for one do not care what anyone knows about me 93 years from now I will be long gone. I will gladly check the YES box because I believe that census data provide a wealth of important information to historians, genealogists, and others. The issue of public release of Canadian census data is a contentious one, with privacy advocates arguing that we should not renege on a guarantee of perpetual anonymity given to census respondents. Others (including me) believe that no such guarantee was given, and there is no legal prohibition to full access. We wait impatiently for release of the 1911 census data, hopefully sometime this year or next.
It is understandable, given the power that technology gives to governments and corporations to intrude into our personal lives, that we demand laws and policies to protect our fundamental right to privacy. But the fight over old census records illustrates an effect that our "Privacy Age" is having, and will continue to have for years to come, on the study of history. Have we considered fully the implications that sweeping restrictions on the collection, retention, and disclosure of private information have for historical research in the future? Already, amateur, professional and academic historians face hurdles to gain access to the basic tools of their trade. For instance, most historians interested in early Winnipeg have, at one time or other, consulted the annual Henderson's Directory published between 1878 and 2000. It provides such information as a person's home and work addresses, their occupation, and in later editions, telephone number. While undeniably useful, the Directory suffered an ignominious death due, in part, to concerns about its invasion of our privacy. I wonder how long we will enjoy the benefits of a telephone directory given that it could be perceived as compromising our personal freedom by enabling pestering phone calls by telemarketers? Some argue that we no longer need a Henderson's Directory because its function has been supplanted by numerous directories on the Internet. The value of Henderson's is not just that it provided current information, but that old issues continue to provide useful historical information. Will the Internet provide our telephone number and address from years past? I doubt it.
Historical researchers using the resources of the Archives of Manitoba face a gauntlet of privacy restrictions. Legislative amendments in 2003 giving access to vital statistics data (100 years after birth, 80 years after marriage, and 70 years after death) were useful only to a point. Full access still requires a formal request to the Vital Statistics Agency and, unlike provinces such as Ontario and British Columbia where the information is readily available in the provincial archives, the data are not available at our provincial archives, despite the fact that the records are physically stored there. Access to many types of provincial files require that archivists or departmental bureaucrats review their contents to ensure compliance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA). Each department has its own unique review procedure, so researchers not only have to deal with a perplexingly diverse set of requirements, they may face up to a six-month waiting period before a decision is rendered. For students and others who must complete a project within a defined (often short) time period, this is unacceptable. A system of evaluation that would apply throughout the provincial government is needed, and there should be a mechanism to expedite access for legitimate scholarly purposes. At the federal level, archival records are reviewed for compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the Access to Information Act, and the Privacy Act (the last two known collectively as ATIP) which, like their provincial counterparts, can impede the effective use of archival resources.
It seems ironic that, although we are moving rapidly into an "Information Age," future historians may know less about our day to day lives than present historians know about those of our ancestors, because we are working vigorously to destroy (or restrict access to) the sources which provide the details. What will our children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren know about us if information is expunged in the name of privacy protection in the short term? How do we balance the legitimate need to protect individuals from undue public scrutiny and the equally legitimate needs of historians? Bill S-18 provides an example of how a compromise can be achieved. The Manitoba government should demonstrate leadership (or at least match its more progressive counterparts elsewhere in Canada) by streamlining the process to give historians access to archival records.
Despite my own ambivalent views on privacy legislation, I agree that the Manitoba Historical Society must respond to modern realities and, as a minimum, explain our practices for the use of personal information. Like many non-profit organizations, we debated whether we needed a formal policy. Legal advice was that we were exempt from the application of FIPPA because we are not engaged in commercial activities and we are not defined as a "public body" to which its provisions apply. Nevertheless, a privacy policy was approved at the March meeting of the MHS Council, the text of which is available on our web site (www.mhs.mb.ca/info/privacy.shtml). In essence, it commits us to "treat your personal information fairly and with respect." To do so, we will henceforth require people providing personal information to explicitly acknowledge our right to use it in a way that is consistent with the policy. For example, applicants for Centennial Farm, Centennial Business, and Centennial Organization Awards must provide a signature to acknowledge that any information contained on the application form can be used in publicizing their award via our newsletter, annual report, web site, and any other way that we see fit. There are still unresolved questions. Should we publish the names of new members and donors in our newsletter? Should we publish the names of children who enter our Young Historian competition? What do you think about these questions? What do you think on the larger question of privacy as it affects historical interests? As always, let me have your views. Call me at 204-474-7469 or send email to email@example.com. Or weigh in at our new history forum at www.mhs.mb.ca/forum. And when answering the federal census in 2006, I urge you to agree to the eventual disclosure of your answers, and make an investment in the historical resources of future generations.

This tour will visit the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum near Brandon and the Royal Canadian Artillery Museum at CFB Shilo. The tour will first visit the Air Training Plan Museum a little to the north of Brandon. This airfield was one of many scattered around the prairies that collectively played a vital role in the Allied war effort. There are a number of excellent exhibits that record the history of both the Plan and the base. For aircraft enthusiasts there is a restored Hawker Hurricane among the vintage aircraft on display. Among other aircraft a WW II Fairey Battle light bomber is also currently undergoing restoration and we should have an opportunity to see the progress of its restoration. After lunch in Brandon the tour will visit the Canadian Royal Artillery Museum in CFB Shilo. This is another excellent military museum with a superb collection of artillery and both light and heavy armoured vehicles.

On February 21 - Heritage Day - the City Clerk's Department, City of Winnipeg Archives launched its first digital exhibit, Pathways to Winnipeg History, 1874-1924.
From its beginnings in 1874 to its celebratory 50th anniversary year, Winnipeg faced all manner of challenges to emerge as Canada's then fourth largest city. Pathways offers a glimpse into these early years through selected documents, artifacts and photographs.
Pathways is made up of four thematic paths that allow visitors to learn about events, personalities and the look and feel of our City in the 50 years that followed incorporation. As well, the site features lesson plans for teachers of S1, S2 and S3, based on the new Manitoba curriculum, and scavenger hunts and puzzles for students of all ages. Development of this portion of the site was made possible through a grant from the Heritage Grants Advisory Council, Culture, Heritage and Tourism, Government of Manitoba.
Pathways will be a featured link on the City of Winnipeg home page. It will also be accessible via the City of Winnipeg Archives' home page and the home page of the City Clerk's Department, or simply add the URL to your Favorites: www.winnipeg.ca/Pathways.
With the launch of Pathways, the City Clerk's Department, City of Winnipeg Archives begins a year of programming to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the opening of 380 William Avenue, the City's first public library building, built with a grant from the Carnegie Foundation, now home to Winnipeg's rich documentary history.

Gordon Goldsborough reports that digitized Manitoba newspapers are slated to be available online by the end of March. A consortium is developing a new online archive of historical information on the Internet, to be launched by the end of March, at www.manitobia.ca.
It sounds like it will be a really useful resource, especially so because it will be free. Among its contents are 100,000 pages of digitized Manitoba newspapers, fully text searchable. I was informed that the following ones are to be made available:

The Carilon reports that the 147 kilometre Crow Wing Trail which runs from Emerson to St. Norbert is set to open in 2006. The trail runs through the Roseau River First Nation, RMs of Franklin and De Salaberry, Village of St Pierre Jolys, Town of Niverville and RM of Ritchot. It is part of the Trans-Canada Trail. When the Trans-Canada Trail is completed, it will be the longest recreational route in the world.
In her report, Murielle Bugera, President of the Crow Wing Trail Association, said that the Crow Wing Trail association has met most of the goals and objectives set for 2004. This includes actual work on the trail, as well as completing development plans and environmental assessments.
In the municipality of Franklin a historic suspension bridge crossing the Roseau River has been restored and fundraising is underway to pay for interpretive signs explaining the historical significance of the bridge to the community. A boardwalk between the St. Malo Provincial Park and the town of St. Malo has been completed. The Roseau River First Nations is considering developing a traditional village and campground at the Roseau River ceremonial grounds.
Planners see a great potential for heritage tourism along the trail. The trail was named after the historic route that ran on the eastern side of the Red River from Minnesota to Fort Garry.

The Manitoba Children's Museum is planning a $5 million expansion. The 1951 CNR engine will remain as the centre-piece of the 12,000 square foot gallery space. But everything else is slated to change. Ten new galleries are planned. The current admissions area, cloakroom and toy store will be moved to a new 6,000 foot entrance pavilion. Some money is expected from the government and corporations but more fundraising will be necessary to complete the project. It is hoped that the expanded museum will attract more visitors. According to an article in the Winnipeg Free Press on March 12, 2005 the paid attendance at the museum last year was 115,000.
Poplar Point / St. Marks History Book Committee has met weekly since the beginning of 2004 with a goal of creating a community history book. They are a group of 10, sometimes more, people who have mailed over 700 letters to former residents and interested people. They have pre-orders of 253 books and are looking for lots more. If anyone has information pertinent to their work, they would like to hear from you. Their address is: Box 174, Poplar Point, MB, R0H 0Z0.
Emerson was the subject of feature of a CTV documentary, Manitoba's First City as part of the Manitoba Moments series that airs each Sunday At 6:30 P.M. The show reveals Emerson's efforts to rival Winnipeg in the 1880s as Manitoba's major urban centre. The documentary also shows how Emerson's history is tied in with significant events on Canadian history the abortive Fenian Raid in 1871 and the establishment of Fort Dufferin which was associated with land surveyors who marked out the Canadian Border and Northwest Mounted Police who started their historic trek west. Also, we are reminded that Emerson housed Mennonites from Russia as they traveled along the Mennonite Post Road en route to farmland in the West Reserve. The TV show was researched and written by James McClelland who taught school in Dominion City and Vita from 1974 to 2003.

Rich in the history of the fur trade, voyageurs, and adventurers, Rocky Mountain House is planning to make history come alive this spring to celebrate Alberta's 100th birthday.
On May 20th voyageurs from across Canada will gather in Rocky Mountain House to re-enact the historic Rupert's Land tradition of paying rent on behalf of the Hudson's Bay Company to the Queen or her duly appointed representative. Many of these men, representing teams from each province and territory, left Brierley Rapids in 1967, the site of present day Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site, and raced to Montreal, 3283 miles in a record time of 535 hours.
To celebrate this historic reenactment and exciting part of Alberta's history, the Friends of the Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site will host a Rupert's Land Fur Trade Banquet and Celebration on May 19th, the eve of the send-off. Supported by the Hudson's Bay Company (Heritage), the period banquet will be held at the Lou Soppitt Community Centre for 450 people. Food, entertainment, costumes, décor, and toasts ... all will reflect this time in history.
For one evening, the Company of Adventurers, Nor'Westers, and other Wintering Partners will gather for fine food, entertainment, laughter, and good cheer. Roll up your sleeves and join the many lively characters and Friends for an evening of good fun!

text: Companies, partnerships and trusts When the PSI rules apply there will be: deductions your business can't claim against the PSI deductions your business can claim against the PSI. The PSI rules only apply to income that is PSI. You can still claim expenses against other income and normal tax rules apply. If you receive both PSI and other income then you may need to allocate your expenses between each category of income. End of attention Deductions your business can't claim against PSI The deductions your business can't claim against the PSI you received include the following: rent, mortgage interest, rates and land tax payments to associates for non-principal work super contributions for associates for non-principal work car expenses general deduction rule. Rent, mortgage interest, rates and land tax You can't deduct rent, mortgage interest, rates and land tax for an individual's (or their associate's) residence, where those expenses relate to that individual's PSI. This also means you cannot deduct these expenses when the business premises are at the individual's home. Example Sarah has recently set up a business called Sarah's Financial Services, where Sarah provides financial advice and completes tax-related forms, for example, business activity statements and tax returns. Sarah operates this business from one of the rooms in her house. All of the income generated is PSI as most of the income relates to Sarah's skills, knowledge and expertise. Sarah has also worked out the PSI rules apply. Since the PSI rules apply, Sarah cannot claim rent, mortgage interest, rates or land tax relating to her residence against the PSI generated. End of example Payments to associates for non-principal work Your business can't deduct payments made to an associate (for example, spouse, child or other relative, or a related entity) for performing non-principal work for the business. Principal work is the work required to be done under the contract and generates the PSI. Non-principal work is incidental or subsidiary work that is not central to meeting the obligations under the contract (that is, not the main work for which the business gets paid). Examples of non-principal work include bookkeeping for the business, issuing invoices, secretarial duties and running the home office. Payments to associates include: remuneration such as a salary or commission an allowance reimbursing an expense rent interest on a loan. Example Rodri provides marketing consultancy services through his company Rodri Co Pty Ltd. Its sole income is Rodri's PSI. Jenna issues invoices, banking receipts and administers the home office. However, issuing invoices, banking and administering the home office, is not principal work. Rodri can't deduct the wages paid to Jenna for issuing invoices, banking and administering the home office. End of example Super contributions for associates for non-principal work Your business can't deduct super contributions for an associate (for example, spouse, child or other relative), who does non-principal work such as bookkeeping for the business, issuing invoices, secretarial duties and running the home office. Example Wendy is an editor who does editing and proofing work through her company Wendy's Editing Services Pty Ltd. Wendy has little spare time and decides to get her brother, Jack, to do the bookwork and issue invoices for work completed. Jack's salary is $10,000 a year and Wendy's Editing Services Pty Ltd contributes $900 to a super fund for Jack. As Jack is an associate (he is Wendy's brother) and he performs non-principal work (bookwork and issuing invoices are not the main work clients pay for), Wendy's Editing Services Pty Ltd cannot claim a deduction for the $900 super contribution. End of example However, your business can deduct super contributions for an associate relating to principal work they do. You can only deduct the superannuation guarantee (SG) amount your business has to contribute for the associate. The SG amount is based only on the salary or wages you paid the associate for principal PSI-related work and not non-principal work. The superannuation guarantee limit does not apply where you operate through a company, partnership or trust and the associate does 20% or more (by market value) of your business' principal work. However, in that situation your business passes the employment test and may not be subject to the PSI rules anyway. The PSI rules do not affect the deduction of super contributions for: work an associate completes where your business earns income other than PSI yourself. The term 'super contributions' in this section refers to contributions you make to a super fund or retirement savings account (RSA). Deductions for super contributions are subject to other tax rules. End of attention Example David is an engineer who works through his company David Co Pty Ltd. In the 2008-09 income year most of the income is PSI as it is mainly for David's knowledge, skills and expertise. The company hires Mary (an associate of David's) to perform principal work. Mary completes 5% of the principal work (by market value) and is paid salary of $5,000. The company contributed $2,500 to a super fund for Mary. David Co Pty Ltd is not entitled to claim a deduction for the full amount it contributed to the super fund for Mary. The deduction that David Co Pty Ltd is entitled to is capped at the amount it would have had to contribute in order to avoid an individual superannuation guarantee shortfall for Mary. For the 2008-09 income year that amount was $450 (9% of $5,000). However, if Mary performed 20% or more (by market value) of the principal work, David Co Pty Ltd could claim the entire $2,500 as a deduction. End of example Car expenses Companies and trusts can normally claim all their motor vehicle expenses, although private use of their vehicles is generally subject to fringe benefits tax (FBT). The PSI rules add a special rule for businesses. If your personal services are contracted through a company, partnership or trust that is subject to the PSI rules, it is only allowed to claim expenses for one car used for private purposes. If your business has more than one car in private use at the same time, you must choose the one to claim deductions for. This choice remains in effect for as long as your business has that car. A car is a motor vehicle designed to carry a load of less than one tonne and fewer than nine passengers, but not including a motorcycle. Find out more Motor vehicle expenses End of find out more General deduction rule As well as the specific deductions listed above that can't be claimed (or the amount that can be claimed but is limited), there is an additional rule called the general deduction rule. This rule only allows businesses to claim the same deductions that the individual who generated the PSI could have claimed in the same situation. For your business to be entitled to a deduction under the general deduction rule the expense must: be an allowable deduction under tax law relate to gaining or producing the individual's PSI. Deductions your business can claim against PSI Your business can claim the following deductions against the PSI you received if your business incurred the expenses to generate this income: gaining work – for example advertising, tendering and quoting for work registration and licensing fees insuring against loss of income, earning capacity or liability for acts or omissions in the course of earning income meeting obligations under GST salary or wages paid to the individuals who performed the services - the principal worker salary or wages for an arm's length employee (not an associate) reasonable amounts paid to an associate for principal work complying with workers' compensation law super contributions for the individual or an arms-length employee (not an associate) running expenses for a home office - for example, heating and lighting (but not rent, mortgage interest, rates or land taxes) depreciation of income-producing assets entity maintenance deductions which include fees or charges associated with a bank, credit union or other financial institution account (but not including interest or interest-like amounts) tax-related expenses (for example, preparing and lodging tax returns and activity statements) any expense incurred for preparing or lodging a document under Corporations Law, except where the payment is made to an associate statutory fees. In particular, your business can only claim a deduction for an expense paid or incurred in gaining or producing assessable income. The expense cannot be a capital, domestic or private expense. This is not a complete list of what your business can claim because what businesses do, and how they do it, varies. Where the PSI has been generated by more than one individual, the deductions relating to that PSI need to be apportioned between these individuals.

MacMolPlt: a graphical user interface for GAMESS. MacMolPlt is designed to make it easy to visualize output whenever you need it, without needing to specify special output options to GAMESS or having to manually edit files to create an input file. But it is also designed to produce output of good quality such that it can be used in publications. Generally MacMolPlt will read in all the information it needs from a GAMESS log file, but several other file types are supported and you can also paste in coordinates in a variety of cartesian formats including the formats used in GAMESS output files and Gaussian log files. Once you have data read in you can translate and rotate the molecule using the mouse or manually by entering the molecule center and rotation angles. You can also view orbitals, total electron densities and Molecular Electrostatic Potentials as 2D or 3D surfaces. Depending on the data read in you can animation normal modes, or geometry optimizations, IRC's and DRP's (any file with multiple geometeries). MacMolPlt includes a standard interface for opening files, saving files, printing, copying, window movement, and display commands. One very nice feature is tooltip help support. Particularly in the input builder window tooltips are used to further explain each option and indicate the GAMESS input option. Rotation in the display window is controlled by the mouse in the same fashion as Chem3D (thanks to public domain code from Apple). The scroll wheel or Shift+left button zoom the display and the right button or Control+left button translate the molecule. The size of the molecule display and various normal mode display options are controlled via the Display menu. Atomic coordinates and bonds can be viewed in separate windows and bonds may be added via a bond radius and/or an automatic bonding feature. An interactive graphical molecule editor is included. There is also an input builder for GAMESS. It can make it easy to create many GAMESS input files including MO guess and internal coordinates. It doesn't have all advanced options yet, but works quite well for beginners.

There are words in the automotive lexicon that simply don't belong together in one sentence, such as boring and Ferrari or automatic and Porsche. But what about drift and van?
It may sound wrong at first, but the following video proves that drifting a van not only works, but looks like a lot of fun. In this case, a prominent parts store in Poland stuffed a V-8 engine into a Ford Transit van and displays what it can do in the form of smoke-filled burnouts, donuts and, of course, drifts. The video and the parts store's website make no mention of the engine or what modifications were made, but whatever they stuffed into that van simply works.
The video also features the fancy hand and footwork by Polish RallyCross Champion Marcin Wicik as well as some cool undercarriage shots of the rear axle and tires as the van scorching the asphalt. Enjoy!

Clearly, the administration's spin-doctors are using Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's confessions to justify the Combatant Status Review Tribunal process.
Let us remember that Sheikh Mohammed's presence in Camp Delta has been a PR stunt since his (relatively recent) arrival with 13 other "high value" detainees during the legislative push for the Military Commissions Act.
As Captain Yee observes:
It became more clear that if our military and government had captured a legitimate terrorist suspect, they would not have been brought to Guantanamo Bay at all, but to the secret CIA black sites, that the President admitted existed when he transferred 14 so-called "high value" terrorist suspects to Guantanamo in September 2006 in order to get Congressional support for the Military Commissions Act after the Administration lost in its attempt to unilaterally impose military commissions of its own devising after the Hamdan case. Only at that time were any real terrorists possibly connected with September 11th brought to GTMO.

Trends of globalisation, the integration of markets and the rise of the Internet economy have made that violations of intellectual property rights (IPRs), such as counterfeiting or Internet piracy, have become more widespread. While there is no shortage of estimates of the scale and impacts of these infringements, there is little consensus on their accuracy or reliability. In absence of a robust evidence base, it is difficult to debate the effectiveness of government efforts to regulate IPRs or address the impacts of infringements.
This study was set up to assist the European Commission in the development of a methodology that would quantify the scope, scale and impact of IPR infringements on the European economy. In this report we offer the 'building blocks' for such a methodology that strives to be consistent, robust, feasible and reliable in measuring the scale of this phenomenon.
Based on an extensive review of the literature, we propose a methodology for measuring trends of the lost revenues due to IPR infringements in markets of counterfeited products. While the methodology presents a promising approach to the problem, a number challenges remain and it needs further testing. The report offers a number of suggestions for next steps to take this approach to the next level.

Cancer: The Public and Private Conversation
Mounting evidence suggests that exposures to chemical contaminants within our shared environment are playing a more significant role than previously appreciated in the burden of human cancer.
Vows of marriage. Oaths of citizenship. A jury's verdict. Words with the power to change our identities are usually spoken in public places. But a cancer diagnosis is almost always delivered within a private conversation that takes place, unwitnessed, behind the closed door of a doctor's office, on the phone, or, most unceremoniously of all, in a hospital room -- where, on the other side of the curtain, a television blares, a roommate is served lunch, and a cleaning staff mops the floor.
At age 20, while lying on a hospital bed in my own hometown, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Before my physician shared the bad news, he asked my visitors -- who were missing the first day of college classes to be with me -- to step out.
Then he pulled the curtain.
A few minutes later, he told my friends in the hallway, not unkindly, that they could come back in. And they did -- although they left soon after, tiptoeing out of the room, as though the hushed behaviour we used in the library was what was required now that I had cancer.
From my fourth-floor window, I watched as they crossed the parking lot and drove away. A construction crew arrived. Women carried flowers into a church. Mallard drakes splashed in the park lagoon. A high school team ran wind sprints across an athletic field. My high school. My church. The lagoon where, as a child, I had caught a fish. How strange. The familiar world, full of jackhammers, ducks, and Bible study, was rolling its regular programming, as if nothing extraordinary had just happened. As if I had not just been culled from my own life. Or so it felt to me then.
Perhaps because the rituals of being a cancer patient are so far removed from public life, we sometimes presume its causes are likewise located in an interior, intimate place. We blame our private behaviours or our genes themselves, which we've inherited, like so many place settings of China, from our personal ancestors.
And some of the roots of cancer are indeed found there. But cancer has a public dimension, too. Our genes reside within cells, and cells reside within living bodies that, in turn, reside within particular public environments. And, as we breathe, bathe, eat, and walk the dog, our environment -- with its carbon cycles and rivers, pollination systems and aquifers, industries and farms, geologies and jet streams -- comes to reside inside us.
Mounting evidence suggests that exposures to chemical contaminants within our shared environment are playing a more significant role than previously appreciated in the burden of human cancer. Some of these chemicals can damage our genes directly -- or silence their expression. Some interfere with the network of hormonal signals that serve as the body's communications system. Some change developmental pathways in early life in ways that make us more vulnerable to cancer in later life. All together, the new science is mounting a challenge to the way we regulate toxic substances. These regulations rarely consider the cumulative impact of multiple exposures to multiple chemicals over a lifetime.
Yet the public story of cancer is a hopeful one. First, it shows us where we can begin a meaningful program of cancer prevention. It's true that cancer rates among U.S. children have risen sharply and that cancer is now the leading killer of middle-aged adults. But it's also true that lung cancer rates are falling.
This happy outcome is the result of our collective efforts to denormalize tobacco -- to shun its use within public places, tax it steeply, restrict its advertising, and promote smoking cessation efforts. Ever-rising cancer rates are not the inevitable price of modern life.
The story of tobacco shows us that when an exposure to a chemical carcinogen is eliminated, lives are saved. It is a story that can happen again. A 2008 statement, signed by many cancer researchers and submitted to the US President's Cancer Panel, put it like this: the most direct way to prevent cancer is to stop putting cancer-causing agents into our indoor and outdoor environments in the first place.
Second, as it turns out, the cynical joke that "everything causes cancer" is not true. Most of the chemicals implicated as carcinogens are derived from the same two sources as those responsible for climate change: coal and petroleum. Finding substitutes for these two substances is already a priority for many governments. In this, an investment in green energy is thus also an investment in cancer prevention.
Of course, sending people off to redesign the petrochemical economy is a different assignment than encouraging them to quit smoking. It's a task so overwhelming that it requires all of us, with all of our various passions and talents, to act in concert.
Happily, this allows any one of us to seize on a single piece of the problem and work as hard as we can on that piece. People who love food can support local, organic farmers. People who love fashion can go after toxic chemicals used by dry-cleaning and cosmetics industries. People who love sports can insist on pesticide-free playing fields and golf courses. And so on.
Think of it this way: we are all musicians in a great human orchestra, and it is now time to play the Save the World Symphony. You're not required to play a solo, but you are required to know what your instrument is and play it as well as you can.
Thirty years ago, during our private conversation behind a gray, hospital curtain, while my friends waited in the hallway, my diagnosing physician assured me that, whatever the future held, he would take care of me. And he did. "Sandra, let's grow old together," he would often laugh.
Growing old has been my life's work as a cancer survivor.
But within that same conversation, my doctor also asked me some pointed questions about my possible past exposures to toxic chemicals. His questions that day let me know that bladder cancer is, by and large, an environmental disease. Understanding the public story of cancer became my life's work as a biologist. It's the starting point for my book, Living Downstream, and this film that has brought it to life.
Sandra Steingraber is the author of Living Downstream, recently published in second edition by Da Capo Press to coincide with the release of the Canadian documentary film adaptation. Produced by The People's Picture Company, the film is currently screening in select North American cities and will be available on Home Video DVD this fall. www.livingdownstream.com
