Michael Kamen
Michael Kamen's extraordinary ability to straddle the line between rock 'n' roll and classical music served him well in an era when the two sensibilities were so frequently merged. He came from both worlds: He studied oboe at Juilliard while co-founding the New York Rock and Roll Ensemble; he wrote several ballets yet frequently collaborated with such popular-music giants as Pink Floyd, Queen, Metallica, Sting and Kate Bush.
He received Oscar nominations for two songs: "Everything I Do (I Do It for You)" from ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES (1991), which hit no. 1 on the Billboard pop charts, and "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" from DON JUAN DeMARCO (1995). He also scored hits with "All for Love" from THE THREE MUSKETEERS (1993) and "It's Probably Me" from LETHAL WEAPON 3 (1992).
Kamen's most popular films were the Kevin Costner ROBIN HOOD, which earned the composer a Golden Globe nomination; the four films in the LETHAL WEAPON franchise (1987, '89, '92, '98), which featured guitarist Eric Clapton and saxophonist David Sanborn; and the first three DIE HARD films (1988, '90, '95). Other notable scores included BRAZIL (1985), THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN (1989), the first X-MEN (2000) and the miniseries BAND OF BROTHERS (2001). After scoring MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS (1995), Kamen and star Richard Dreyfuss co-founded the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation, which provides musical instruments to schools around the country. He died in 2003 at the age of 55.

Want Some Jell-O Pudding, Kids? Don't Go to This Vending Machine [VIDEO]
Jell-O pudding has always billed its Temptations desserts as treats designed specifically for adults, a claim it apparently takes seriously: a new machine handing out samples of the product won't give them to kids.
A vending machine at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium uses a face-scanner to ascertain someone's age before dispensing one of the treats. And if it decides you're a child, you're outta luck — the machine sounds an alarm and its screen flashes, "Sorry, kid. You're too young to appreciate indulgence like this. Please step away so the grownups can get their free treat."
But aside from being a buzzy novelty, the so-called iSample Experience is also a merchandising and promotions tool, and a way to get the attention of people who are typically flooded with standard advertising.
Ed Kaczmarek, director of innovation, consumer experiences at Jell-O's parent company, Kraft, said, "It's providing a new experience and is actually creating an emotional connection to our brand."
While the machine in Chicago is a test case, look for more to roll out soon. In the meantime, here's a video of the picky vending machine — and some very cranky kids — in action.

Yap Yap Boutique Pet Hotel
We are about to launch an upmarket dog boarding kennel in Perth Western Australia. We will only have a small number of small to medium size dogs at any one time, compared to other kennels which have hundreds of dogs during peak periods. Therefore it will be one on one care. Dog will have access to carpeted sleeping areas, large running spaces and a- la- carte menu options.
Dog owners who require personalised care for their dog. Professionals from higher socio economic areas.
An upmarket logo, clean and a standout. Would like to use the colours of black, red and orange. Would like 2 options of a black or white background. Quite open with suggestions, wouldn't like the use of a photo of a generic dog. Design will be used on business cards, invoices, contracts, letterheads, website and facebook. Have attached a logo of another business that I operate, which I love. Might help with your design. Good luck can't wait to see what comes through!!!

Rubbish Bins - Importance of Design
Skips are trailer bins that are issued by public garbage disposal committees as well as private garbage disposal companies and agencies. It works quite similarly to the huge garbage trailer bins that are placed on the neighborhood block while the trucks collect the weekly waste. However this is a service that means you can call for a mini skip hire and clean out all your junk in one shot. You know that periodic spring cleaning sessions you have, right? They're not always in spring, but come to you when everything is getting really cluttered up, every once in a while.Maybe it has come with the onset of a new job or at the end of an old one. Maybe you are shifting houses and need to get rid of the excess you have accumulated, since one habit most humans seem to have in common is hoarding. Of course, maybe none of these life changing events has happened and you're just having a good old in depth clearing out session. Either way, where to put all the stuff you are disposing of poses a quandary. You can't just shift it all out on your doorstep or your lawn and wait for the garbage collect truck to haul it away after three or four days or even later.
Most of us are now beginning to feel the pressure being placed on us to reduce the amount of waste we actually produce and to reuse or recycle as much of our household waste as we possibly can. Practically all local councils are providing bins to enable us to recycle at least two different items of household waste and many organisations have been set up specifically to dispose of just about everything else you can think of from mobile phones and battery chargers, to bits of metal and aluminium cans.However, many people are still throwing away a large amount of kitchen and garden waste every day without a second thought as to where it will end up. If you throw it in the bin, it is likely to end up in a landfill site and that is not what any of us should want.The problem with landfillWhen kitchen and garden waste is discarded in our bins it will be buried underground along with mountains of other rubbish. As it is deprived of oxygen, it will produce methane gas as it starts to decompose. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that is contributing to global warming and climate change. Apart from the fact that we are running out of space for landfill, we must all do our bit to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases we produce. In order to do this, governments have set targets to reduce the amount of waste ending up in landfill, including the amount of kitchen and garden waste we throw away, but it is still up to us, the individual, to do our bit and make a difference.- Plastic, metal, glass or any other substance that cannot break downDo you need a license?Many people ask if you need some sort of license or permission to compost and the simple answer is no, not if it's for domestic use. There are some rules if you keep animals. For example, pigs, cattle, sheep, goats and deer can become ill and diseased if allowed access to composted kitchen waste and so you cannot compost in the same place where these animals are kept.If you keep chickens and hens then any compost should be done in an enclosed container so that they cannot come into contact with the contents. Check with your local authority if you are unsure.Domestic pets are OK though and you can compost at home without any approval or license provided of course that you use the compost in your own garden.Apart from the fact that composting helps to preserve the planet and the environment and helps meet government targets for reducing household waste, nothing can be more satisfying than using your kitchen and garden waste to produce food to nourish your own garden.
3 Reasons for Hiring Skip Bins for Hassle-Free Waste Disposal
Some of it could be rubbish, old appliances, old furniture or even garden waste. If you leave it out, just like that, raccoons, rats, bandicoots and other marauding little creatures could infest your external property and become a regular problem. Your neighbors will almost definitely have an issue with that kind of mess, at the very least from an aesthetic perspective. Hygiene, contamination, creating a breeding ground for disease, bacteria and fungus… are all factors that play across one's mind when we think of irresponsible waste disposal. So it is best to plan out the 'spring' cleaning beforehand. The kind of cleaning materials and the quantity you require, the time you will have to invest in getting the job done and lastly and most importantly, how you will sort out the trash and where it has to go.There is a new really great way to get this done. You can call a mini skip company, and they deliver a mini skip bin to you, where you can chuck all your stuff. They come and take it away and put it in the tip. The job is done. Another alternative to mini skips are the latest feather in cap for many trash disposal agencies whether private or public. You can ask for a jumbo bag instead. Instead of a steel bin, you are provided with a bag. It is foldable, and you can open it up whenever you need it. You can fill it with up to 1.3 tons of trash. The reason they are preferred over mini skips is because they are not as unsightly, they do not come with a waste loading time frame and you are not charged for hire. The most appreciable thing is that eighty percent of all waste is recycled.

Future construction planningKeeping Washington moving safely and efficiently requires long term planning, especially when it comes to construction. Our Construction Traffic Management Team works with dozens of project teams not just from WSDOT but also from counties, cities and other local jurisdictions like ports and transit agencies to assess construction traffic impacts. The team then identifies hot spots, which consists of several construction projects working in close proximity at the same time. Early coordination in these areas helps to keep traffic moving during construction while allowing agencies to complete their projects on time and within budget.
The maps and schedules on our website reflect the best estimate of future construction closures and are provided for planning purposes only. A number of different factors can cause the maps and schedules to change. In some cases, the maps and schedules might change multiple times before construction occurs.
For construction projects happening between 2018 and 2019 check out our construction hot spot data in the links above. We also have a high clip overview of Seattle area construction over the next 12-24 months. This document contains less detail than the schedules on our hot spot page but will give you an idea of what's coming up in a glance.

The 2005 freshman class for the Lipscomb University softball team is made up of 7 talanted young ladies who are beginning their jounrney playing collegiate softball. The 2005 freshman are Niki Bails, Heather Collins, Kim Jacobson, Leigh Little, Kate Richards, Shay Sullivan and Allison Tyree.
Head Coach Andy Lane will not be surprised at the impact this young, but talanted group makes on the Lipscomb Softball program in their first season.
"We feel extremely good about our freshman class. Not only is it a very talanted class, but it is filled with outstanding young ladies that will make a huge impact on our program and Lipscomb University over the next few years. The greatest thing about this class is that they are hungry to get better and hungry to get on the field. We also love this class because they are willing to look to our upper classmen and learn what it takes to be dedicated both on the field and the classroom. We are in a good situation with such an outstanding group of older players who are setting such a good example on what it takes display balance in their life with their dedication in the classroom, dedication on the softall field and the decisions they make in their everyday life. We know that this freshman class is being shaped in a positive way," Lane said.
Lane feels that their past success will carry over to the Lipscomb softball program.
"It is always tough making that adjustment to college life and college softball and with any program you have a few bumps along the way. We feel confident this group is going to be fine because they are all winners and have responded in a positive way with the challenges we have put before them concerning softball and their academic responsibilities. In our recruiting process we look for players who have experienced a tremendous amount of success and who have been dedicated to softball. This group is loaded with players who has achieved so much on the softball field, in the classroom and who have played a ton of softball over the years," Lane said.
Niki Bails comes to Lipscomb from Plantation, Florida, where she attended Hollywood Christian High School. Bails will serve as one of the Lady Bison catchers and also spend time working in centerfield.
Lane has been impressed with Bails attitude and work ethic.
"Niki has done a great job in helping us with several areas we needed to upgrade. Catching is an area we needed to add depth to help us in practice and work with our pitchers. Not only has Niki displayed a great attitude and love for the game, but she has shown our staff she can play at this level. We are looking forward to watching her develop and get better as she sees the game at the collegiate level. Niki has a very strong arm and continues to get better as a receiver. She makes good contact and will only become a stronger hitter as she gets older and stronger from her work in the weight room," Lane said.
Bails is the daughter of Steve and Denise Bails of Plantation, Florida.
Heather Collins comes to Lipscomb from Montverde, Florida, where she attended Mt. Dora Christian School. Collins will play first base and also serve as one of the Lady Bison catchers.
Lane feels Collins can have an immediate impact on the Lipscomb softball program.
"Heather has done a terrfic job for us. She has worked hard on the softball field, but has been committed with her responsibilities in the classroom. Heather is such a kind individual and a pleasure to be around and respresents our program with a great deal of class. As a player, the sky is the limit on how good she will be. Defensively, Heather has a tremendous glove and as good skills at first base as we've seen. She is very very soild at first. At the plate we feel like she is going to have a terrfic year for us. We know there will be the ups and downs of adjusting to the college level, but Heather is well prepared for this. She has played at the highest level of travel ball and worked with some great coaches to prepare her to be successful. Heather has worked as hard as any player we have and think her hard work will show when we begin the season," Lane said.
Collins is the daughter of Roger and Sue Collins of Montverde, Florida.
Kim Jacobson comes to Lipscomb from Colton, California, where she played at Colton High School. Jacobson will serve as one the Lady Bison pitchers and could also see action at third base.
Lane will look to Jacobson to solidify the Lipscomb pitching staff.
"We are glad Kim is here at Lipscomb. Kim is tremendous athlete that will only get better the more she plays. In the time that Kim has been here we have seen her work to get better and make adjustments to show more success each time she pitches. It's tough at this level where up and down the entire line-up you see good hitters and you either learn and get better or you go backwards and we're seeing Kim get better as she gains experience. Kim has done a terrfic job at third and can cover a lot of ground, has great hands and a strong arm," Lane said.
Jacobson is the daughter of Doug and Arlene Jacobson of Colton, California.
Leight Little is from Brentwood, Tennessee, where she attended Brentwood Academy. Little will challenge for playing time in outfield and could also see action at second base.
Lane says Little is one of teams top athletes as a freshman.
"Each season you have players that surprise you with their play and Leigh has been absolutely outstanding. We all knew she had terrific speed, but her eye-hand cordination and bat speed are terrific. She has hit some shots leading up to our season. It is going to be tough to keep her off the field with the way she has played. Not only is she a terrific person with such an upbeat personality, but she also had the best semester in the classroom for our freshman class. Leigh is the type of player that has so much ability and once she sees first hand the collegiate level she will take her game to another level by the experiences of Division I softball. Leigh may be our best athlete and will only get better with time," Lane said.
Little is the daughter of Houston and Betty Little of Brentwood, Tennessee.
Kate Richards is from Fountain Valley, California, where she attended Fountain Valley High School. Richards will be counted on this season to play on the left side of the infield at both third base and shortstop.
Lane says Richards will be a key player for the Lady Bisons in 2005.
"Kate is a very solid player and will get a lot playing time this season. She will play third, shortstop and will be a key hitter in our line-up. Defensively she is very smooth with her glove and has a very very strong arm. Kate is another player who has played at a high level that will have no problem adjusting to the collegiate game. She is very solid at the plate and has a great eye for the ball. It's always nice to see Kate's great smile each day and we are glad she is at Lipscomb," said Lane.
Richards is the daughter of Phil and Sue Richards of Fountain Valley, California.
Shay Sullivan comes to Lipscomb from Mobile, Alabama, where she attended Faith Academy. Sullivan will challenge for playing time as an infielder and in the outfield.
Lane says Sullivan will see a great deal of action in 2005.
"Shay is a very solid player. She can play both outfield, the corners and is a terrific hitter that will only get better with playing time. She has been slowed after she injured her foot, but we are looking forward to her getting back and competing for playing time. A lot of time when you suffer an injury and your off the field for a while you can lose a player, but Shay has been in tune with what we are doing and is anxious to show what she can do. She is such a terrific person that we love having in our program and look for her to be a foundational player for our program," said Lane.
Sullivan is the daughter of Gerald and Judy Sullivan of Mobile, Alabama.
Allison Tyree is from Brentwood, Tennessee, where she attended Brentwood High School. Tyree will serve as one of the Lady Bison pitchers. .
Lane says Tyree will be a key member of the pitching staff after an outstanding fall season.
"One of the areas we wanted to increase our depth was our pitching staff and Allison has certainly filled that role. She had maybe the best fall of all our pitchers and we are excited to see how she will do this spring. Allison has deceptive speed and terrfic movement and keeps the ball in a place that gives our defense a chance to make plays. She has shown signs of being very effective at this level. She loves playing and is so well liked by her teammates. It is great to have Allison at Lipscomb," said Lane.
Tyree is the daughter of Ben and Susan Tyree of Brentwood, Tennessee.
Lane feels his 2005 freshman class will experience a great deal of success.
"We feel like this class can be a very special group. There is a tremendous amount of talent in this class, they each are terrific people that love playing softball and present different personalities to the team. It is going to be fun watching them improve as players mature as young ladies and reach for their goal of earning their degree. We already can see them maturing as people, as students and entering another phase in their lives. Our staff loves each of them for what they bring to the team," said Lane.

Winners Levine, Shirvell, Van Deventer Post Best Performances of Season
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Bulldogs hosted a number of regional teams today at the annual Yale Springtime Invitational at Dwyer Track. Due to the meet's proximity to last week's Penn Relays, Yale rested many of its premier contributors. Nonetheless, the Elis flexed their muscles in display of depth and balance in the unscored meet.
As has often been the case this season, the Bulldogs were dominant in the middle distance events, sweeping the 800- and 1500-meter runs. Senior John Van Deventer scored the victory in the shorter race in his final home meet with a season-best time of 1:53.09. Fellow senior Julian Sheinbaum was seventh in 1:57.78.
In the 1500-meter run, freshman Jacob Sandry played the role of rabbit for sophomore James Shirvell and dropped out after the first lap. Shirvell proceeded to run the remainder of the race by himself and finished more than eight seconds before the second-place runner from Marist. Shirvell's time (3:51.36) was 0.36 seconds off of the IC4A qualifying standard in his first collegiate attempt at the distance. Senior Jake McKenzie was fourth in 4:00.52.
Junior Mike Levine, fresh off a 13th-place finish at the Penn Relays, had his best day of the season in the discus. Levine's winning throw of 52.37m was nearly five meters further than the next best thrower. Sophomore Stefan Palios was fifth with a throw of 41.49m. Levine was also third in the hammer throw with another season best of 58.71m, and Palios was 12th (37.91m). Sophomore Clifford Van Meter was fourth in the javelin with a heave of 43.02m.
Sophomore Paul Chandler continued the Elis' momentum in the field events with a season best in the pole vault. Chandler's 4.55-meter jump earned him second place.
Freshman Daniel Kemp was fifth in the 110-meter high hurdles in 15.85, and freshman Michele Gama Sosa took 20th in the 5000-meter run in 16:08.78.
The Bulldogs return to Penn again next weekend for the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships.

Why Harper Wants A One On One Debate
Does everyone forget the 2008 debates? I recall quite vividly a Stephen Harper always on the defensive, the dynamics never in his favour, basically doomed from the outset. May attacked Harper, then Duceppe, then Layton, then Dion, just wave after wave of people going after the Prime Minister. When you consider that 2011 will be exactly the same, there is no other real scenario, then the idea of Harper wanting to narrow his attackers makes some sense.
Have you heard Gilles Duceppe? I have already stated, that this coalition question will be in the debates, it's a done deal, there is no avoiding. In addition, rather than Harper making the accusations, he will be subjected to Gilles Duceppe, a seasoned, effective debator, RIPPING a strip off him, calling him a liar, reminding Canadians of his own duplicity. Layton will confirm, and Harper will effectively be destroyed on this question, I really have little doubt. I believe the Conservatives know this too, they FEAR Duceppe, much better to just have a one on one with Ignatieff, wherein Harper can actually land a few as well, rather than continually fend off the onslaught.
When you consider the alternatives, the idea of a one on one looks less "insane" that first blush suggests. We have one format that is a guaranteed loser, made that much worse because your core scare tactic is neutered, becomes a liability. Where is the attraction for Harper in having this five headed debate? Again, did we all forget 2008, because he lost, and the format guarantees a repeat, just a question of how badly.
These Conservatives don't do voluntarily go off message, if they are getting aggressive on this one on one debate it's because they've found a "lesser of two evils". Sure, debating Ignatieff has risks, but that isn't a question in isolation, because risk is inherent in EVERY option. No, I believe the Conservatives are pushing, because they see relative merit, it's the better of two possibilities, he could actually WIN this format. This fact, in and of itself, has a certain logic to it- one option I lose, just degree, another I might lose, but I might actually best Ignatieff. Crazy, not all, cold calcuation and maybe not bad math at that.

Liberals should like the one-on-one debate, and *also* advocate for a second series of debates featuring all 5 leaders. The more debates the better for Ignatieff. Harper will look like he's running away from them when he refuses. Thats the win-win
- 6:32 PM, March 30, 2011
- Steve V said...
Best case scenario is the two tier format I floated yesterday, 5 person debate AND a one on one. I think we might see that, if both agree, media will come.
- 6:36 PM, March 30, 2011
- rgl said...
I agree with Dan's idea, one I have been thinking about earlier - there should be two debates. One with the two leaders (gov't and official opposition leader) and another with all party leaders (including May). Great post!
- 6:40 PM, March 30, 2011
- Jason Cherniak said...
I think you're right about the logic, but it's still crazy. It means that Ignatieff won't have to parry on the left and share air time. Whatever benefit the Tories might get out of it, that benefit compares in comparison to the benefit for the Liberals.
- 6:50 PM, March 30, 2011
- Steve V said...
True enough, but I still say one format is guaranteed failure, with the real prospect of Duceppe absolutely destroying Harper, while the other is 50/50. Harper isn't a slouch, he will get way more time as well don't forget, cuts both ways.
- 6:56 PM, March 30, 2011
- Steve V said...
Harper seems to want this format, so there is obviously some rationale from his perspective, it isn't "nuts" or why volunteer? He doesn't have to bite on Ignatieff, the frontrunner always faces these challenges, and yet, HE DID.
- 6:58 PM, March 30, 2011
- ottlib said...
I would imagine the other party leaders would howl if they did not get their chance in the debate.
So, there will be an "all candidates" debate at some point.
- 7:09 PM, March 30, 2011

I wonder about the wisdom of Ignatieff 'throwing down the gauntlet". Harper has a huge staff of propagandists who will have prepared Harper for every question to ask Ignatieff and anticipate every point made by the Liberal leader. Igatieff may be an intelligent man who can think fast on his feet but will he be a match for the debate infrastructure behind Harper in a one on one bout?

Steve V, I have read conflicting reports on this. Who brought up the one on one debate, if you know?
And as much as I love Ms.May, I don't think she should be included in the debates. She does not meet the set requirements, end of story,
Where do we draw the line? Why not include the fifty 'fringe' parties? Where does it end?

We have just as much talent in our room as they do, if not more. I don't fear them, sheesh, who's one of the world's great intellectuals, let's not forget certain realities here my friend, a slouch he ain't.
We first mentioned it yesterday, then they pushed it today.

This is a high risk move by Mr. Harper.
He makes Mr. Ignatieff an equal in all of this and cements in the minds of voters that there really is only two choices.
Mr. Harper on his best days is a wooden figure and he becomes even more wooden during the debates. If people see that and Mr. Ignatieff seems more at ease then it could be a big problem for Mr. Harper.
Yes he gets 50% of the time but that does not give him any time to regroup if things begin to go awry. It is true that with the four of them he gets less time but the other three can act as a buffer. This point also applies to Mr. Ignatieff.
Stephen Harper is a policy wonk at heart while Michael Ignatieff is a communicator. There is a danger Mr. Harper might get bogged down in details.
We should not overestimate Mr. Ignatieff's debating skills but at the same time we have seen Mr. Harper's. He is always up on his party's policies but he usually does not present them in a fashion that would inspire people to like them or him. If Mr. Ignatieff is as up on his party's policies (he will be) but he seems more at ease and natural it would be a long night for Mr. Harper.
Like I said this is a risky proposition for Mr. Harper.

The other consideration that we saw from the last debate was how there was no real benefit to the win scored by the opposition leaders last time -- they hit Harper over and over again, but the bump fizzed across 3-4 parties.
You are right, Harper's anticipating that the 'setup' gives him a chance because everyone knows its difficult to debate someone who's just lying -- the lies put you on the defensive. In the end i think this is all pr hype, harper has no intention of debating one-on-one, he'd be ultimately better served with a four-headed monster ganging up on him and securing some sympathy. I don't doubt that he'd usher in that Winnipeg girl as cover, the weasel...

Harper wasn`t very good in the 2008 debates. Maybe it was the format but I think it was more that Harper doesn`t have a lot to give. Nobody outside an election likely debates or challenges Harper.
Remember how he asked for extra time to discuss the economy in the last English language debate? He didn`t have anything to fill the extra time he asked for, he just repeated `don`t panic`.
And there won`t only be a Ignatieff-Harper debate. They will have to be an opportunity for every leader to appear in a debate and there, if Steve`s analysis is correct Harper will still face the crushing accusations of Duceppe.

Does anyone else find the Cons attack ad that goes "Fact. This election a vote for the Liberals is a vote for Micheal Ignatieff" profoundly dumb?
I understand what they are trying to say, Ignatieff is Satan and will eat your young if you vote Liberal but really it just sounds dumb and way over the top. Also, if Ignatieff gains during the election well where will they go next?

It'll work out just fine for Harper because he's not going to debate. He's just going to attack.
Nothing will prevent him and nothing will stop him.
Quotes from Iggy's old books pulled out of context, old newspaper shit, old radio shit from GB. Anything his goblins can get their hands on - including misquotes and manufactured quotes. They don't care. Once it's said in the debate no one will care when a retraction appears in the back pages of the paper tomorrow.
Iggy will stand there in disbelief looking lost and confused because he didn't or wouldn't understand that he really is dealing with barbarians who will stoop to whatever depths they must.
So...come prepared with all sorts of Harper quotes. There's no shortage. Come prepared to go about Harper's family. Come prepared to do battle with unprincipled barbarians.
And then waste no time hesitating before doing the actual battling.
Harper will die when the silver stake goes through his heart and not before.

I cannot think of a better gift for the Liberals than Stephen Harper going to a one-on-one debate and launching personal attacks.
It is one thing to use advertizements to launch personal attacks. It is another for him to do it in person on national television.
All Mr. Ignatieff would have to do is act dignified while being attacked and he wins, big.

To support your observation, anyone else remember the 2000 leaders debate when Stockwell Day called Chretien a child porn felon supporter (or something to that effect, can't remember his exact words) because the feds were not getting involved in a high-profile child porn case before the BC courts? Dingbat Day obviously never heard of the separation between the legislature and the judiciary, but that's beside the point. Thing is Day's comments made the Reformers look like reactionary rednecks. Libs could only dream that Harper would do something as stupid if his legendary temper ever came unglued.
BTW - Chretien held back and remained dignified, but you could tell from the look on his face that he'd loved to have given Day his famous Hull-headlock.

It's a different Canada now.
Once upon a time would any of us have believed that the kind of clumsy, primitive attack ads that the Cons produce could possibly work? No, most of us believed that the Canadian people were much too intelligent, much too sophisticated for those kinds of attacks to gain any traction.
*Those* Canadian people have given up and pay no attention to politics anymore. They decided merely *surviving* well was the best revenge.
The Canadian people we now have to contend with are strung out on reality television and they think an election is little more than a version of Survivor where everybody gets to vote.
They're a little unsure of who the sponsor of the show is but they're pretty sure they don't like the tall guy with the vocabulary - not that many of them have the word vocabulary at their greasy fingertips.
They're not that crazy about the little guy with the frozen hair,
the glasses and the bad suits but at least he doesn't make them feel like maybe they're stupid or something. Plus he reminds them of grandma so that's nice (except for grandma's nasty judgmental side but we don't speak ill of the dead in this house mister).
The bald guy seems OK but he's got that grin like the time share salesman in Puerto Vallarta and look how well that worked out. Jeez, we almost didn't get off that boat did we Mavis?
I don't think the Canada we all used to like to tell ourselves we believed in exists anymore. Really, truth to tell, I don't think it ever really did.
Where we are now is where we've always been.
Except now there are more people who don't see the point of it all.
All things considered it's hard to argue with that.

So as i predicted, Harper's offer was a faux accompli -- maclean's wells reported tonight that when the consortium put down 2 4-leader debates (one in english, one in french) and an added 1-on-1 debate, Ignatieff agreed. Harper proposed that he'd do the 1-on-1 only if one of the 4-leader debates (the english one, likely) was eliminated.
Ignatieff declined.
As to all the ads that target Ignatieff, the CONs believe their work at decimating MI's appeal across the board has worked so well that they don't even refer to the Loyal opposition by party name without prefacing it with 'Ignatieff'. Harper's doing it himself on the stump. It must be written in big block letters for him. Hopefully his warm performance in the past week will thaw some of those voters, along with MI's policy pronouncements (great score by stealing the NdP seniors plank, by the way)...

Iggy's numbers are already on the rise according to Nanos. The real Ignatieff is a different man from the one presented in the Conservative ads, as many of us, Steve V included, suggested going into the election. The Libs need to get Ignatieff as much face time as possible.

Not exactly, they PUSHED for the one on one debate, so it still suggests a preference. However, we wisely pushed for one on one on top and they weren't prepared for more debates. I will say this, it's blow up in Harper's face big time.

It's obvious that the Republican party are imbeciles. It strikes me emmediately and without exception.
That woman is such an idiot.
Not all republicans are idiots, just the ones that are on television or the radio.
Hi, Beth, and again, welcome!
In Heinlein's Job: A Comedy of Justice, the devil, a.k.a. Jerry Farnsworth, accused god of being a poor artist, constantly scraping the canvas and starting over. As a designer, he's clearly inept, with everything from avocado pits to hurricanes as evidence. When the maintenance and progress of such a project is dependent on destruction of life and property on the kind of scale we see on planet Earth, the efficiency of such a project is questionable, never mind the empathy of the project manager for his creation.
I wish I had that section of Job available to reprint here; it is that precious, with Yahweh bitching about being inconsistent while he obsesses about fulfilled prophecies, as though they were of utmost importance. No doubt - Bob Heinlein had that old bastard PEGGED.
When they don't get hit by a hurricane, it's because they prayed it away.
When they do, it's just that god had to make them suffer in order to show how much he loves them, you know? Don't you know it hurts god to hurt you more than it actually hurts you to die in a hurricane? It's just like how an abusive parent is so much more traumatized by having to whip the skin off a kid's ass than the kid is to have the skin whipped off his ass by someone they thought was a trustworthy authority figure full of unconditional love. Serious.
To equate these Republican bozos with imbeciles or idiots is an insult to imbeciles and idiots. Both terms are archaic descriptions of mental disability- ranging from mild to moderate to profound mental retardation.
Not wanting to be a wet blanket, but I think these politicians are posturing. I suspect not all (some, but not all) believe what they are saying, and they are blathering their silliness for effect. Not that I have any proof of any of that. I'm not even sure I think all of their followers believe the fantasies that they spout. Some are delusional, but some may just be ritualizing their in-group status and attempting to lead their flocks in a synchronized dance of fawning to one another.
I could be full of cow do do, too. It's been said before.
Cow poop is infinitely more useful than Republicans. I mean, manure is good fertilizer, and it can also be made into eco-friendly planters. What can Republicans be made into, huh?
Om nom nom. Nom nom nom.
...Bleh. Tastes like flatulence.
cult of corporations with money bag in cartelville whaaat?
It's hard to believe that not one of these bigotards have the brains to ask themselves "why didn't God just make the hurricane go away entirely?" But then again, "hurricane" and "entirely" both have more than two syllables each.
At least THEY work for a living!
"Imbecile" does not even begin to describe this level of stupidity.

The GMC G3500, more commonly referred to as the GMC 3500 (also part of the Savana series), is a one-ton, full-size van that has been in production since 1996. The Savana series also includes a half-ton G1500 model and a three-quarter-ton G2500 model, with the G3500 being the largest of this lineup. The G3500 replaced the GMC Vandura and is in its second generation today. All models have had the same general, box-type frame with either three doors or four doors, depending on whether the passenger side gets one sliding door or two doors that swing open. They are built on a front-engine rear-wheel or four-wheel drive layout. As the larger van in the lineup, the GMC G3500 is usually fitted with a larger engine and a six-speed automatic transmission as opposed to the four-speed available with the G1500.
Historically, the G3500 has been used as a commercial work van, either to transport passengers or cargo. However, the van can also be outfitted with features geared more toward consumer or family use. The large body is popular among contractors and small businesses as a fleet vehicle or heavy duty cargo van. This van also serves well as a large shuttle for airports, hotels, and car-rental companies.
Most notably, GMC's lineup of one-ton vans is known for its power compared to the competition, its interior space, and its dependability.
The 2012 GMC G3500 offers two wheelbases. The standard wheelbase model is 135 inches. The 3500 also offers an extended wheelbase measuring 155 inches. It is available in 12 different trims, which are all rear-wheel drive. Various trims are either fitted with a 260-hp, 6.6-liter, V-8 diesel engine; a 279-hp six-liter, V-8 natural gas engine; a 280-hp, 4.8-liter, V-8 flex fuel engine; or a 324-hp, six-liter, V-8 regular gas engine. All trim levels also provide a six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Certainly not known for being fuel efficient, the G3500 gets 15/20 mpg city/highway and 17 mpg combined. Some models include extended cargo and extended passenger versions. Cargo models are outfitted with a diesel engine. Passenger model trims include the LS, LT, 2LS, and 2LT. MSRP ranges from $29,915 up to $46,940.
The GMC G3500 gets high reviews for its interior space, engine performance and power, a high towing and cargo haul capacity, and the addition of standard side curtain airbags on all passenger models. Criticisms include poor fuel economy, and poor stability and handling. Maneuverability in heavy traffic and parking can be difficult due to the dimensions and visibility issues.
The General Motors Corporation was born in the early 1900s when R.E. Olds took over his father's naval and industrial plant and decided to convert it to a car manufacturing facility. General Motors Corporation, or GMC, as it is known today, has enjoyed a great deal of success since the early days. Over the years, GMC has become the parent company to many of the industry's well-known auto brands, such as Buick, Cadillac, Saab, Chevrolet, and Saturn. Of course, General Motors still produces several lines of cars, trucks, and vans under its original name and logo. The popular Savana series, which includes the GMC G3500, is one example of GMC keeping up with the trends and demands of the public over the years.
The GMC G3500 is currently in its second generation and still in production. The exterior style has not changed much over the years, nor have there been major changes to the layout. The first generation models, in production from 1996 through 2002, ranged in power from a 4.3-liter, Vortec V-6 up to an 8.1-liter, Vortec V-8 or a 6.5-liter turbo-diesel. The second generation models, built from 2003 to the present, have the same basic starting engine; while the top-end model offers a six-liter, V-8 Vortec flex regular fuel model or a 6.6-liter, turbo diesel V-8.
The G3500 line is a popular choice when purchasing a used vehicle. The cargo versions are easily adaptable to meet any kind of industry service needs and they provide plenty of space for tools, equipment, products, and supplies. However, with some modifications for transporting people instead of supplies, The G3500 is also a favorite among large families, churches, day care centers, and other organizations.
The 1998 GMC G3500 classifies as a full-size van manufactured by General Motors under the GMC marque.
The 1997 GMC G3500 is a passenger/cargo van manufactured by General Motors as part of the G-Series line.
The GMC G3500 is a van manufactured by General Motors under the GMC division as part of the G-Series line, which also includes the G1500 and the G2500.
The 1995 GMC G3500 serves as a full-size van with cargo and passenger options.

OXO began with a few simple questions – Why do ordinary kitchen tools hurt your hands? Why can't there be wonderfully comfortable tools that are easy to use?
The man who asked these questions was Sam Farber. Noticing that his wife Betsey was having difficulty gripping ordinary kitchen tools due to a slight case of arthritis in her hands, he saw an opportunity to create more comfortable cooking tools that would benefit all users. Sam approached the design firm Smart Design with that challenge. As part of the initial research that included talking with consumers, chefs and retailers, Patricia Moore, a noted gerontologist, was brought on board to help understand the needs of users with special needs.
After hundreds of models, dozens of design iterations, and extensive research, OXO was born. In 1990, the first group of 15 OXO Good Grips kitchen tools was introduced to the U.S. market. These ergonomically-designed, transgenerational tools set a new standard for the industry and raised the bar of consumer expectation for comfort and performance.
Today, OXO offers over 850 products covering many areas of the home. Each was developed based on the concept of Universal Design, a philosophy of making products that are usable by as many people as possible. The concept of Universal Design makes room for all users by taking as many needs as possible into consideration in the design process. For OXO, it means designing products for young and old, male and female, left- and right-handed and many with special needs. Today, OXO is recognized globally by many prestigious institutions, including Harvard Business School, as an example of how a well-executed Universal Design philosophy not only creates products that are beneficial to end users but is a sensible business model.
Today, OXO continues to be dedicated to providing innovative solutions that ease everyday tasks.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. (Feb. 22, 2008) - Gardner-Webb guard Grayson Flittner scored a career high 34 points and the Runnin' Bulldogs outscored the ETSU men's basketball team 43-22 in the final 12:19 to race away with a 96-70 Atlantic Sun Conference win Thursday night inside Paul Porter Arena.
With the loss, the Buccaneers dropped to 15-12 overall, 9-5 in A-Sun action and are now in serious danger of dropping significantly in the league standings. Meanwhile, the Runnin' Bulldogs improve to 14-13, 8-5, and they now hold a tie breaker over the Bucs by virtue of sweeping the season series over ETSU.
"We turned the ball over too much, we were loose with the ball, and we just didn't shoot it well," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team is now 1-3 after having won six straight earlier this year. "We had no answer for (Thomas) Sanders and Flittner. I thought we played great early in the second half to pull it to within five or six, but from there it just snowballed in the second half.
"I didn't see this one coming. I thought the bounce back win was great against Lipscomb, and our energy in practice has been great, but then to come in and lay an egg tonight really surprised me."
Flittner was unbelievable for Gardner-Webb, setting both the single season and single game record for 3-pointers, hitting on 9-of-12 from beyond the arc and 11-of-15 from the field to net his game-high 34 points. But Flittner was not alone, as the Runnin' Bulldogs shot 57 percent from the field and 58 percent from 3-point range as a team. Guard Thomas Sanders was equally impressive in a double-double effort, scoring 26 points and grabbing 16 rebounds.
The game got off to an ugly start for the Buccaneers, as the team shot just 30 percent from the field and 16 percent from beyond the 3-point arc in the first half. Those numbers obviously led to a quick start for the Runnin' Bulldogs, who led 19-7 at the 10:35 mark. In all, ETSU would commit 16 turnovers in the first 20 minutes and never got closer than six late in the half, ultimately trailing 37-28 at the break. Luckily for the Bucs, Gardner-Webb was equally bad at the free throw line, shooting just 36 percent from the line (4-of-11).
ETSU showed some life in the early going of the second half, pulling to within five points at 53-48 on a pair of free throws by freshman guard Micah Williams (
For the Bucs, junior forward Kevin Tiggs (
ETSU will return to action Saturday in the ESPN BracketBuster event, playing Tennessee Tech at 4 p.m. inside

Building in Jamaica by Stephen Forrester
The building project in Jamaica was a really great experience for me. I went to Jamaica on my own and didn't really know what to expect on arrival. I have done some building work before in Thailand and a little in England so I was prepared to work hard and had with me the appropriate footwear. I arrived on a Friday and on my first day I went to the Projects Abroad office and they took me on a short orientation of the area and went to get me a mobile phone. I then got taken to meet all the other volunteers in Jamaica at the time before we all went away to Kingston for a weekend by the beach.
By Monday morning I was easily settled in and although I had only spent one night with my host family I was really comfortable there and felt like I knew the other volunteers really well. I turned up to the Projects Abroad office at about 8am and they handed me over to the ADRA team. ADRA (Adventist Development and Relief Agency) is a church run organisation that works to promote development in Jamaica and relief after any particular earthquake or hurricane.
They particularly target the poorer people in Jamaica that struggle to get themselves out of poverty for any particular reason. I was working with the Development side of the agency for most of my time. This mainly involved building and repairing of homes of people that were unable to repair them themselves. I was introduced to the team and we left to get to work.
It was a short journey into the countryside when we came across a small broken down house in which an elderly gentleman lived. His name was Mr Williams, he was about 75 and lived alone. His home had been destroyed by hurricane Ivan in 2004 and he had built a makeshift home which he had been living in since then. On closer inspection I realised that the house was made of rusty corrugated zinc, it was about 5m square and had three walls (all with holes in big enough to walk through) and no roof.
The house had one room with his bed in the corner and an open fire in the middle for warmth and cooking. He had no water except for a well to draw from about 100m walk from his house. He slept on a few bits of old foam that he had found. And under another piece of zinc sheeting. We were building him a house of concrete blocks and cement still with one room but solid walls, two closable windows and a solid hurricane proof roof. Obviously this was a massive step up for him. I came onto the scene when about ¾ of the walls had been built. Over the next 2 weeks we worked hard to build up the walls and put the roof on correctly.
When the first job was finished we travelled to another location to a house that needed a new roof and doors. We also ended up putting in a few steps to the front door and concreting underneath the house as it had been washed away by the rain we only worked a few days in that place. One of my jobs was to put on the roof, this involved taking off the old zinc and the rafters and putting in new rafters before hammering down the new zinc. Because of the quality of the walls this house roof would not be hurricane proof, I suggested bending the nails underneath the rafters but they said that if we did that it would just pull the rafters off the house.
The third project that we worked on was another completely new house, for this project we were quite far away from Mandeville (where my host family lived) so I stayed with another family for a week. This house was made from wood and we were building it due to the lady's old house being destroyed in an earthquake. We put the initial structure of the walls up then laid the floor. Most of the first days were spent concreting and moving heavy materials for the floor. The latter part of the week I helped to make the walls secure and put in the windows. Then the lady moved in.
The last project that I did involved me travelling to Portland on the other side of the island. We left early in the morning and travelled in a pickup, it was a long journey but well worth it. The reason for our trip was that 63 Haitians had made the journey from Haiti to Jamaica in a canoe to escape the situation in Haiti following the earthquake in January 2010. They had all come in a single canoe and had travelled about 100 miles across the Caribbean Sea. There were men, women and small children on the journey and they had travelled with nothing. On arrival to Jamaica they were taken to a building and locked inside to prevent any trouble from Haitians or Jamaicans. They were suffering from malnutrition and had been exposed to all the elements on a long journey.
We joined with the Relief side of ADRA and took them water, rice, clothes and bags. We stayed there all day helping out and working with the Police force and other agencies. Finally it was decided that supplies were to be given to them and then they should leave and head back to Haiti, a decision that many of us were not too happy with. We took them to the Port and loaded their stuff onto a military boat before they left. The situation became quite tense as there was much hard feeling from some of the Haitians and many Jamaicans that were in need of the supplies given to the Haitians themselves. As a result the trip to the port was quite tense and the send-off rapid.
Overall I was involved with four separate projects. The work never became monotonous and every experience was valuable. Throughout the whole trip I made friends with so many people including every weekend when I would join up with the other volunteers and travel to a holiday destination somewhere on the island. It was a great change from the work and I got to see so many beautiful places.
Honestly if I got to choose between having a holiday in Jamaica and working with the ADRA team as I got to do through Projects Abroad I would chose the work as it was so rewarding and we were able to do so much good in the time I was there. Since coming home I have stayed in contact with some of the people out there. Both volunteers that have come back to England and Jamaicans that I worked with. I hope to go back and see them again sometime.

Students use engineering know-how to build 3D printers
By RANA MCDONALD
WTAMU Communication Services
It was a semester of trial and error and reconfigurations, but five West Texas A&M University students are well ahead of the curve when it comes to real-world technology after completing an engineering project that has garnered two 3D printers for the School of Engineering and Computer Sciences.
Each semester students in Dr. Emily Hunt's mechanical engineering design class are divided into groups to work on special semester-long projects.
This spring, one group of five students chose a 3D printer build and 3D printer project because of the technology involved, and they knew a completed printer would be a useful tool for the engineering program.
The technology behind 3D printing is still relatively new, but it's expected to have a major impact on the manufacturing and design world as that technology advances. It's a form of printing that creates solid three-dimensional objects a layer at a time to make everything from key chains to body parts.
In fact, one group of students in Hunt's fall 2013 design class built a robotic hand using a 3D printer.
As one student in the 3D printer build project said, "if you can draw it, you can build it," with a 3D printer.
And the group wanted to build printers capable of printing everything, but also ones that would be user friendly and cost effective. The five students—Ivette Bravo, Camron Bevington, Craig Carlton, Juan C. Ramirez and Doug Todd—used their engineering skills to build two functional 3D printers.
Students and faculty in the department now will be able to use the group's Portable Delta 3D and/or Eventorbot printers to work on future projects, and both are user friendly and cost effective.
"The whole aspect of 3D printing is amazing," Carlton said.
The five-member team initially thought the printer build would be a simple one, but that assumption changed once they got into the mechanics of the project.
That 3D printer and time constraints plagued the semester project, but the team worked together to research and analyze what would and wouldn't work. When the actual build began, the group used an existing 3D printer to create more than 60 percent of the parts needed to build their printers. Once the printers were built, the team ran multiple tests to make sure all of the printed parts worked together, and modifications were made to ensure the quality and speed of items being printed.
"This is an exciting project because it will really change things for current and future engineering students," Hunt, director of the School of Engineering and Computer Science, said.
"Our goal is for students at any level to be able to use creative design and 3D modeling in conjunction with the printers to see their design through to a final product. Engineering students can leave class with physical evidence of their learning.
"This group of senior mechanical engineering design students has developed a project that will have a lasting impact for the School of Engineering and Computer Science."

Mayor Coleen Seng said the Hometown Security Study (HSS) Committee report released today identifies an important set of recommendations that can be used as a guide to help close the growth gap in public safety in the City of Lincoln.
"The Hometown Security Study Committee has recommended how we should begin addressing the need to increase size of the Police and Fire Departments and the 911 Center," said Mayor Seng. "The HSS committee report states public safety continues to be 'a top priority of local government that must be reflected in City budgets.'"
Mayor Seng has included three recommendations from the report in the fiscal year 2003-2004 City budget:
"The committee volunteers dedicated many hours studying the size and scope of Police, Fire & Rescue and 911, the City safety operations," said Stanley Heng, retired Nebraska Adjutant General, who chaired the committee. "The diverse group of citizens that participated on the full committee plus those additional citizens on the work groups added to the discussion and the recommendations. While there is more that could be studied and more public awareness of the public safety services that needs to be done, this has been a good process. Lincoln has a good public safety and emergency response team, but the growth of the City has stretched its resources to the limits. These recommendations can help provide a course for the City to meet that growing demand."
In addition to General Heng, the HSS Committee included Carol Brown, Chair of the Mayor's Neighborhood Roundtable; Jeff Fortenberry, private business person and former Lincoln City Council member; Jim Geist, retired Chairman and CEO of Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph (now Alltel); Don Marti, Public Safety Manager for the Lincoln Airport; Major Guy F. Moon, Nebraska National Guard Anti-Terrorism Officer; Oscar Rios Pohrieth, a bilingual liaison for the Lincoln Public Schools; Larry Hudkins, County Commissioner; Annette McRoy and Ken Svoboda from the Lincoln City Council; Doug Ahlberg, Director, Lincoln/Lancaster County Emergency Management; Tom Casady, Lincoln Police Chief; Bruce Dart, Director, Lincoln/Lancaster County Health Department; Mike Spadt, Lincoln Fire Chief; and Julie Righter, Manager, 911 Center. Including the volunteers on the work groups, more than 26 people participated in the study.
"The Police and 911 center workgroup members went into this process with the desire to find a way to use current staffing levels and resources and make 'out of the box' suggestions to increase services without spending tax dollars," said Marti, who co-chaired the Police work group. "What we found after examining all of the programs, policies and technology upgrades that Lincoln's safety services have utilized was that the Police Chief and Fire Chief had already been thinking 'out of the box' for a long time to stretch their manpower to its limits. If Lincoln's citizens want to continue having the police protection, fire safety and 911 services that we have become accustomed to, we must add manpower to deal with the growth of our community."
The HSS Committee began meeting bi-weekly in January. The workgroups met weekly since March.
"It is imperative that we provide this information to the citizens of Lincoln," said HSS Committee member Carol Brown. "We need to work with civic, business and neighborhood groups and use all means to educate the community regarding the needs of our safety services. I thought I knew quite a lot about these services, and I was completely surprised at the amount of information that I learned being a part of this committee."

The LAPD received a call for a "possible kidnapping" at the Los Angeles home of Heidi and Spencer Pratt ... sources tell TMZ.
A witness at the scene tells TMZ police blocked off the street outside of Speidi's house, helicopters are flying above and cops with guns drawn are yelling at someone to come out of the house.
Neighbors tell us ... it looks like a cop show. Police are swarming the area. Someone from the helicopter was on a loudspeaker saying, "Man in the black shirt. Come out of the house."
Several cops jumped the fence and went toward the house.
A man has been arrested and is in the back of a police car. The man is a white male, brown hair, medium build, wearing blue jeans and a black shirt.
We have a cameraman at the scene who says this does not look fake.
Cops are now taking the cuffs off the man and are talking with him.
Story developing...keep refreshing the page.

From BBC news:
Jews Asher and Rosa Rapp Wiesenthal were baptised in proxy ceremonies in the US states of Arizona and Utah in January, records show.
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spokesman Michael Purdy said the Church' s leaders "sincerely regret" the actions of "an individual member".
The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center denounced the news.
"We are outraged that such insensitive actions continue in the Mormon temples," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, a spokesman at the centre...
Evidence that Wiesenthal's parents had been baptised was found by Helen Radkey, a researcher and former Mormon, AP reported.
She regularly checks the Church' s database, and also recently found the names of Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel and several family members on the Mormon list...
"The only way such insensitive practices would finally stop is if church leaders finally decided to change their practices and policies on posthumous baptisms, a move which this latest outrage proves that they are unwilling to do," he said.
The Catholic Church has also objected to posthumous baptisms of its members.
[NOTE: I am not sure if the inclusion of Elie Wiesel on the list is a mistake on the part of reporters or on the part of the Mormons...Elie Wiesel isn't dead yet!]
For the Mormon church to claim that it is just the error or misbehavior of one member ignores the fact that this kind of posthumous baptism is CHURCH POLICY. Given that it has been Mormon church policy, it is something that Romney should be challenged on and Elie Wiesel has called on Romney to speak on the issue:
Wiesel said that the situation has gotten so out of hand that the most prominent Mormon in the country should speak out about it.
"I wonder if as a candidate for the presidency Mitt Romney is aware of what his church is doing. I hope that if he hears about this that he will speak up," Wiesel said, noting that a presidential candidate "should comment on everything."
Supporters of Romney have accused the media of linking him to controversial church practices even as they give other Mormons, such as Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, a pass. The Republican frontrunner has said that he has personally performed proxy baptisms as part of the Mormon Church.
HuffPost reached out via email to the Romney campaign for comment. In an email accidentally sent to the reporter, spokeswoman Gail Gitcho suggested that the campaign ignore the request.
Yes...Romney has performed such disgusting "conversions" HIMSELF and his campaign is trying to ignore the issue. And his campaign is STUPID enough to accidently send that info to the press (I assume pressing "reply" instead of "forward," something I have done but not with sensitive info!!!).

- Canadian Grand Prix
Montreal eyeing new ten-year deal
- Race:
- Canadian Grand Prix
Canadian Grand Prix promoter Francois Dumontier says the race is negotiating a new ten-year contract extension.
The Montreal race's agreement ends next year, yet talks between Formula One Management - led by Bernie Ecclestone - and the different levels of government began some time ago. A new contract may be signed in the following weeks and if all goes to plan Dumontier said there will be no need to sit at the negotiating table for many years afterwards.
"We are presently discussing an extension from 2015 to 2024, so ten years," Dumontier said. That is the longest agreement that has ever been proposed to us. We had five years with options before."
Dumontier also said that long-term deals were becoming the trend in Formula One.
"All new agreements now being signed are for ten years ... Ten years allows us to think long term, to think about improvements that can be brought to the circuit, about investments, etc. We are happy to work in this regard."
When asked why he thinks Formula One was starting to look more towards ten-year deals, Dumontier hinted the upcoming planned flotation on the Singapore Stock Exchange could be one factor.
"There are several reasons, but I believe they want to consolidate the good grands prix. Montreal is such a race, undoubtedly. We saw as much [at last week's race] with the full grandstands and the comments made by the drivers and teams.
"F1 has a project to enter the stock market. Ten-year contacts have a certain value when entering the stock market."

Irish dancers entertain for St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day: Danbury's Irish Culture Center commemorates with dining and dancing
DANBURY -- Sunday was a great day for the Irish.
Actually, said Eileen Walsh-Alberts, manager of the Irish Cultural Center in Danbury, it has been a great weekend.
With the city's St. Patrick's Day parade not scheduled until this coming Sunday, the wearing of the green around Danbury is likely to go on a bit longer.
"Hundreds would be a good estimate," Walsh-Alberts said, of the number of people who, for the past few days, came to the Lake Avenue cultural center to savor the 700 pounds of corned beef and other Irish dishes.
"We've been unbelievably busy," she said without a hint of blarney.
On Sunday, those who could trace their lineage to the old sod -- and others who were just Irish for the day -- got a helping of culture with their meals as students from Gilleoghan Irish Dance performed.
The dancers included students who plan to compete next week in the World Irish Dancing Championships in Boston, including 13-year-old Colin Vecchiariello, of Bethel, who has won his age division for the past three years, and Hali Thorne, of Oxford, the under-18 New England champion.
Thorne started dancing at age 4, following in the fleet footsteps of her sister, Catie, an instructor at the Bethel school owned by Philip Owens and Terry Gillan.
"It's a fun sport and you make a lot of new friends," Thorne said. "And I enjoy dancing."
Vecchiariello has been dancing for just six years, after being introduced to Irish dance by an aunt, who is now deceased.
"It's a way to remember her, and I like winning," he said.
But most of these dancers began at about the same age as the Thorne sisters.
D.J. Lavoie, of Plainville, said her 13-year-old daughter, Amanda, started Irish step dancing after seeing "Riverdance at the age of 4 and her feet haven't stopped."
Although the Gilleoghan Irish Dance school is an hour away from their home, "It's worth the trip," Lavoie said.
Later Sunday, the cultural center was to feature traditional Irish songs by Chicks n Sync followed by set dancing, Walsh-Alberts said.
"There are a lot of familiar faces and some new ones," she said. "There are four generations of some families. It's amazing to see."
In addition to the city's St. Patrick's Day parade this coming weekend, the celebration of Irish culture will continue April 6 with the hit comedy "Late Nite Catechism" at Rogers Park Middle School.
The show, sponsored by the local chapter of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, will raise money for the group's scholarship fund.

In 2005 Dr. Susan McCaffray, Department Chair of History at UNC-Wilmington initiated the origins of the History Teaching Alliance and found eager participants at Cape Fear Community College, the U.S.S North Carolina Battleship, the Cape Fear Museum, and the Bellamy Mansion Museum.
By January 26 2006, the first symposium was held at UNW with professor Taylor Fain presenting the â€New History of the Cold War†in the recently constructed Watson School of Education building between 4:15-5:45pm. Wine and appetizers contributed to a vibrant atmosphere and this event was well attended by UNCW professors in Education and History, as well as History instructors from Cape Fear Community College and the chair of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
Following up on the program, the Cape Fear Museum hosted "Teaching History with Artifacts and Documentsâ€, March 30, 2006.  Kim Sincox from the U.S.S. North Carolina Battleship highlighted rich resources from the ship's archives and encouraged teachers to utilize these resources, while the curator of the Cape Fear Museum described some of the fascinating artifacts that were not currently on display and effectively demonstrated that there is much more to a museum than meets the eye.

(Reuters) - A bear cub who failed to heed the lessons of Winnie the Pooh and got a cookie jar stuck on his head was recovering on Tuesday after being rescued from 40 feet (12 meters) up in a tree by New Jersey state environmental workers.
The 28-pound (13 kg) male cub was rummaging through garbage in a residential section of Ringwood in northwest New Jersey, when he discovered a container of animal crackers with some sweet leftovers inside and pushed his snout in for a snack, said Larry Ragonese, spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
The bear got spooked when someone approached him and scooted up a tree, becoming wedged in the branches with the jar on his head, about 40 feet up.
Department biologist Kelcey Burguess climbed up after the cub and following a brief tussle, tranquilized him with a needle in his paw and carried him down.
"It's only 28 pounds but it has claws and was unhappy," said Ragonese, who said firefighters cut off the jar and workers dunked the dehydrated bear in a barrel of water to help revive him.
The cub is now recovering at an undisclosed animal rehabilitation center, where he will likely remain for up to six weeks before being released into the wild.
"Maybe someone should call him 'Cookie'," Ragonese said.
He urged residents of northwest New Jersey - where there are more black bears per square mile than anywhere else in the United States - to secure their garbage against the rummaging animals.
The cub, meanwhile, he said, has likely learned his own lesson.
"Like Winnie the Pooh said, 'Don't get a jar stuck on your head,'" Ragonese said.

Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Also, because of the way these medicines act on the body, there is a chance that they might cause other unwanted effects that may not occur until months or years after the medicine is used. These may include certain types of cancer, such as leukemia or bladder cancer. Discuss these possible effects with your doctor.
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Incidence unknown
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
To prevent radiation contamination of other persons or environment:
Avoid swallowing any solid substances that may be coughed up. Dispose of solid substances in sink or toilet. Flush several times if put in toilet or flush sink by washing hands thoroughly with soap after disposal.
Extra precaution in handling urine, feces, and substances coughed up by children to avoid additional exposure to the caregiver or to the child.
If you are breast-feeding your baby, talk to your doctor about how long you must formula feed your baby and how to dispose of the breast milk containing harmful substances.
Harmful substances may accumulate in your bladder. Therefore, to increase the flow of urine and decrease the time your bladder contains these harmful substances, your doctor may instruct you to drink plenty of liquids and urinate often while being treated with pentetate zinc trisodium to help eliminate the harmful substances.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Although there is no specific information comparing use of pentetate zinc trisodium in children with use in other age groups, this medicine, when given by injection, is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in children than it does in adults.
Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults or if they cause different side effects or problems in older people. There is no specific information comparing use of pentetate zinc trisodium in the elderly with use in other age groups.
