Selling taxpayers on policy advisers
Mayor faces public-relations conundrum
To several generations of geeks, it's called a Kobayashi Maru scenario -- a no-win situation in which every decision results in some sort of unfavourable outcome.
In 2009's Star Trek reboot and the 1982 classic The Wrath of Khan, young military candidates are presented with a rescue simulation that results in their destruction no matter what course they choose.
Winnipeg's Mayor Sam Katz faces a similarly unwinnable test with the 2013 operating budget, which includes a plan to spend $722,000 to reverse a five-year-old decision to get rid of City of Winnipeg policy advisers.
Back in 2008, former chief administrative officer Glen Laubenstein engineered a public-service reorganization that saw the city dissolve two small but important departments. One was the CAO secretariat, which was a group of policy analysts and other apolitical support staff who worked directly for the city's top civil servant.
The other was EPC secretariat, which also contained policy advisers but functioned in a more political role. EPC secretariat's small staff co-ordinated the agenda-setting efforts of city council -- primarily the mayor and executive policy committee -- with the work conducted by city administrators.
The point of Laubenstein's reorganization was to eliminate redundancy and maybe save some money. Most, but not all, of the advisers from the two dissolved departments soon left the city.
Their absence was noticed quickly as 2009 turned out to be a gong show. A new garbage-collection plan was unveiled only a week before a council vote. A complex proposal to replace the water and waste department with a new utility was botched during the rollout phase, amended on the fly by council and eventually tossed aside. Property officials tried to slide the controversial Parker land swap by council days before a summer recess.
Initially, the mayor resisted the idea he needed to re-hire policy advisers. But as the dearth of oversight began to extract a greater public-relations toll, Katz added experienced advisers such as current chief of staff Bonnie Staples-Lyon to his office. Phil Sheegl, Laubenstein's successor as CAO, followed suit by adding former NDP cabinet adviser Etoile Stewart to his own staff.
Now, in the aftermath of a disastrous 2012 that included both the water-park debacle and the fire-paramedic station construction scandal, Katz agrees it was a bad idea to get rid of all the big brains.
"There's no doubt in my mind it was a mistake," the mayor told reporters after the budget was tabled. "And now we're bringing something back that's different, that will deal with more issues for less than half the money."
The 2013 operating budget calls for the city to rehire four advisers to staff a new "policy development and communications office" that will resume the unloved but essential task of killing bad ideas before they are made public and otherwise managing the direction of city hall.
The $722,000 tab will be offset by a $125,000 transfer from Sheegl's office budget. Overall, the spending is a drop in the bucket in a $921.6-million operating budget.
But that's still tough to explain to homeowners facing a 3.87 per cent property-tax hike. The idea Winnipeggers need to spend money to help city hall prevent itself from making dumb decisions likely won't go over well.
Hence the no-win situation facing the mayor. But it gets better, as the budget also includes $600,000 in additional spending on office budgets for councillors. The 2013 budget calls for every councillor to be able to spend $114,000 this year on assistants, advertising and other office expenses, compared with $74,000 in 2012. Again, councillors say they need this cash to better respond to residents.
That may be entirely legitimate, but good luck explaining that to homeowners facing their second property-tax hike in a row -- or the third, if you count 2011's frontage-levy hike.
Katz is correct when he says Winnipeg has low municipal property taxes compared with other cities. As well, he also made amends for the 2011 frontage-levy shell game, when he tried to claim $14 million in new frontage revenues would be devoted to fixing streets. That cash only replaced money removed from the roads budget.
This year, a one per cent property-tax hike really will be dedicated to road renewal. The budget documents prepared by city finance officials are even more transparent than usual.
But the public may not be in any mood to accept the idea of higher taxes or new spending on council budgets or hiring a quartet of policy advisers. From a public-relations standpoint, Katz really cannot win.

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott.
Bartley appears every second Wednesday on CityTV's Breakfast Television. His work has also appeared on CBC Radio and in publications such as National Geographic Traveler, explore magazine and Western Living.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

Humanities, Smithsonian, Library of Congress and Park Service budgets hold steady

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) will receive $167.5 million under the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies fiscal year (FY) 2010 appropriations bill (H.R. 2996) (H. Rept. 111-316) that was signed into law by President Obama on October 30. This represents a $12.5 million increase over the FY 2009 level of $155 million.
The Administration proposed transferring oversight responsibility for the National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program (NCACA) from the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts to the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Obama administration's budget included $10 million in new funding to NEH to administer a redesigned program of competitive grants to arts, historical, and cultural institutions in the District of Columbia. However, Congress rejected this proposal and the bill retains the status quo with respect to the NCACA.

Reading School Board members reviewed ways to close a $13 million budget shortfall Wednesday night just days ahead of the state deadline on June 30th.
In May a final budget of $212.7 million was passed for the upcoming 2013-14 school year. The board knew tough cuts were in store to balance the books. On Monday board members worked late into the night to discuss what options they would consider. Superintendent Carlinda Purcell reviewed the board's suggestions and arrived Wednesday night with a clearer picture of how the district could close the budget gap.
Previously the board had explored options ranging from eliminating all middle school sports to large staff layoffs. However, Purcell's presentation Wednesday night laid out less drastic steps to address the shortfall. She addressed one of the key disagreements between the board regarding the amount of bond money, monies set aside for building renovations, should be used as an escrow to reduce interest on debt payments. "I have laid out two different scenarios based on either a $4 or $5.7 million bond payment."
Using $4 million in bond money would result in a $759,00 surplus even with all of the suggested cuts, while $5.7 million in bond money would net the district over $2.4 million with all suggested cuts. Board member James Washington was in favor of using the larger bond payment to allow more flexibility with cuts. "It behooves the district to go with 5.7," said Washington.
Board member William Cinifici cautioned members about using bond money to pay off interest. "These bonds are for renovating and repairing our aging schools... I'm hesitate about taking too much from bond payments."
Both options, however, assume that the board raise property taxes by 2.8-percent, the largest amount allowed by the state. Purcell's recommendations also included the elimination of per-kindergarten and increased class sizes.
Reducing full day kindergarten to half days was one issue that had the board divided. While all members spoke of the importance of kindergarten, they acknowledged the savings of over $2 million is hard to ignore. Board members Rebecca Acosta, Yvonne Stroman, and Karen McCree were all adamant about keeping full day kindergarten and pointed out that the using $5.7 million in bond payments would save kindergarten from any cuts.
Exactly what would be cut or eliminated won't be known until the board's final budget meeting planned for this Friday at 6PM in the Reading High School.

Council dumps robots
Frederiksberg joins other councils in dumping robot cleaners
Senior citizens in the inner Copenhagen borough of Frederiksberg can breathe a sigh of relief; the local authority has decided not to force them to buy robot cleaners and is offering to buy the droids off those who have already purchased them.
The Borough Council had otherwise passed and has introduced its decision to remove vacuum cleaning from the services provided by home helps, urging senior citizens to purchase a robot vacuum cleaner instead.
However, most of the 567 senior citizens involved have refused to buy one and have instead had to engage private cleaning companies to do the job. Only 20 of the 567 have purchased one of the unpopular robots.
"No it hasn't been a big success. We were surprised as the idea wasn't to force our senior citizens to choose an expensive, private company solution," says Health and Care Committee Chairman Flemming Brank.
Frederiksberg, which is a borough located within central Copenhagen, is the first local council to do an about-face and withdraw already introduced robot care – although other councils have also had cold feet.
Both Horsens and Struer councils in Jutland have jettisoned the idea after limited trial periods.
Frederiksberg's decision comes despite the government's Home Help Commission report that welfare technology such as robot vacuum cleaners, automatic lavatories and self-operating curtains will be a 'core solution to the challenges of home help' in order to allow senior citizens to manage more tasks themselves.
Frederiksberg Council has now offered to pay for and remove robot vacuum cleaners that have already been purchased. Those senior citizens eligible for home help will then be offered a trial period with a robot in the hope that they will buy one themselves. If not, the council will continue to provide vacuum cleaning help.
The chairman of the Senior Citizens Committee in Frederiksberg, Axel Mossin, has welcomed the move, saying that politicians have been too technology-crazy, adding that robot vacuum cleaners probably pose more problems than they solve.
Among other issues, the cleaners don't clean particularly well, and have to be emptied and cleaned themselves – something that is rather difficult for an arthritis-plagued senior citizen who has difficulty bending down.
"All of the home help recipients that I have been in contact with, have all been concerned as to whether they have to move their furniture or cut the fringes off their carpets in order that the robots can clean rooms," Mossin says.
A recent survey showed that two thirds of Denmark's local councils have introduced private robot vacuum cleaning. The Social Democratic Parliamentary Social Affairs Spokeswoman Maja Panduro believes the movement towards technological solutions for senior citizens will continue – irrespective of issues with robot vacuum cleaners.
"You can't just see the welfare technology issue as solely one of robot vacuum cleaners. They've been portrayed as an ogre, as if they are an eight-armed monster. But the idea with rehabilitation is to look at the aid issue and see what older people can do, and give them more say in their own lives. Robot vacuum cleaners play a role in that, but alongside a lot of other technology," she says.
Frederiksberg Red Green Counsellor Thyge Enevoldsen, who was the only counsellor to be against robot vacuum cleaners all along, says the Council has simply made a mess of things, with politicians now reacting to an increasing number of protests.
"After all, this is election year," he says.
Local government elections are due in November this year.

Ryan Long, Deseret Morning News
Members of Utah's Tongan community and their friends were mourning the death Sunday of Tonga's long-time king, Taufa'ahau Tupou IV, who died in a New Zealand hospital at age 88.
The loss of King Tupou IV, who ruled Tonga for 41 years, was not unexpected but caused sadness among Utahns of Tongan descent and others who knew the king.
Utah has one of the largest populations of people born in Tonga outside of the small Pacific Ocean kingdom. King Tupou IV and his wife, Queen Halaevalu Mata'aho, visited the state in recent years.
"It's a terrible tragedy for the kingdom, because he's been a king for so long," said Lani Sitake, Orem, who was born in Utah of Tongan descent, lived in Tonga for a time as an adult before returning to Utah.
"The people are so loving of their royalty. We love and we honor our royalty. ... The king and the queen are treated with such deference and respect."
A nephew of the king and the nephew's wife recently died in a car accident while visiting San Francisco, she noted. "This is a double-whammy. That was just a few months ago. It's a nation already in mourning."
The 2000 Census lists 6,587 Utahns as of Tongan descent. Most are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to experts interviewed. Many others are members of the Tongan United Methodist Church.
King Tupou IV visited Utah more than once, most recently in 2004 to dedicate the Tongan United Methodist Church building, which replaced a building destroyed by an arson fire in 2000.
The king called upon then-Gov. Olene Walker and visited with officials of the LDS Church. At the time, officials said it was his second trip to the state.
LDS Church officials have had many friendly contacts with the king. At the celebration of church President Gordon B. Hinckley's 95th birthday in July 2005, President Hinckley wore a lei sent to him from King Tupou IV.
Among those close to the king was John H. Groberg, an emeritus General Authority and currently president of the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. He is author of "The Other Side of Heaven," a memoir of his mission to Tonga in the 1950s which was made into a film in recent years. In 2003, President Groberg and Elder Ronald T. Halverson of the Seventy were in Tonga for a satellite conference, and met with the king and members of the royal family.
In 1993, King Tupou IV participated in the 30th anniversary of the Church's Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii, and in 1991, the queen visited Salt Lake City for six days as a guest of the Church.
In August 1991 the LDS Church celebrated the centennial of its work in Tonga, and the king attended major events and declared a public holiday. The Tongan post office issued two commemorative stamps in honor of the occasion.
While on his mission, 1954-57, President Groberg became friends with the future king. "One of the places I was assigned to was in the islands of Ha'apai," a group of islands within Tonga. He became friends with the royal couple when they visited Ha'apai. At the time, the future king was crown prince and his mother, Queen Salote Tupou III, was ruler.
"They had two or three of their children with them, and I used to just visit with them a lot," President Groberg recalled in a telephone interview. "And a couple of times I would say, 'Why don't you go out and take an evening off, and I'll watch your kinds for you?'"
Their friendship continued when President Groberg returned to Tonga as a mission president. After Queen Salote died, President Groberg was invited to King Tupou IV's coronation. "We just had association with him over the years, the king and the queen and my wife and I," he said, referring to his wife, Jean.
President Groberg noted that he and his wife had a baby born in Tonga who had some problems. Members of the LDS community there prayed and fasted.
Queen Mata'aho told him it wasn't only LDS members who were doing that. "I was, too," she said. King Tupou IV attempted many ventures to improve Tonga's economic status, from agricultural changes to oil, aircraft and other investments. "Some of them worked out, some of them didn't," President Groberg said.
"He was a good man. He was very articulate, very interested in all aspects of life. ... He liked to travel, he liked to see what's going on in different parts of the world."When the king was in Utah to dedicate the Tongan United Methodist Church, President Groberg was in Salt Lake City as a General Authority. "He just invited us up to visit him," he said.
King Tupou IV was friends with many Utahns, and spoke at Brigham Young University at one occasion, he noted. "They (the Tongan people) have been expecting it," said Semisi Pau'u, president of the Salt Lake Utah LDS Tongan Stake, referring to the king's death. The stake has 2,700 members in the Salt Lake City and West Valley areas.
"He was very ill and he was also very old. But the people really love him and respect him as their leader."
People in the region will participate in mourning, he said.
"He has been a great king for us," he added. When King Tupou IV dedicated the Methodist church building, he said, he was able to meet him. "It was great for me personally to meet the king."
Although the king was not a member of the LDS faith, he invited a delegation from the stake to have a prayer service with him. "Any denomination who comes to meet him, he invites them to say a prayer of their own religion," he said.
Pau'u recalls King Tupou IV was a large, impressive man, well over six feet tall and weighing more than 300 pounds. In fact, The Associated Press says he reached 462 pounds and shed about 154 pounds while leading his kingdom on a diet to encourage better health.
Tonga Tauteoli, former president of the Magna Utah Tongan LDS Branch, said the passing is sad. He, too, met the monarch during the king's visit to Utah.
"I think it's a big loss for everybody," Tauteoli said. "He's a very good king. He loves the people."
When the king's nephew and the nephew's wife were killed, said Sitake, a wake was held in every place where many Tongans lived. They contributed money to send back to the islands to help with the funeral. She believes a wake will be held in Utah for the king.Crown Prince Tupouto, the late king's son, immediately ascended the throne. The new monarch, King Taufa'ahau Tupou V, will take the vows today, and his coronation will occur later, Tonga's Chief Justice Tony Ford said, according to New Zealand's National Radio.

Germany's Birgit Prinz says goodbye to soccer
Three-time FIFA player of the year Birgit Prinz is officially ending one of the most illustrious careers in women's soccer.
The Associated Press
Three-time FIFA player of the year Birgit Prinz is officially ending one of the most illustrious careers in women's soccer.
The 34-year-old Prinz won two World Cup titles with Germany. She played in a farewell match on Tuesday with her longtime club Frankfurt against Germany. She was given a standing ovation as she came off late in the match. The president of the German soccer federation, Wolfgang Niersbach, attended the match.
"It was a fun evening and everyone had a good time," Prinz said. "I had a very nice career."
Prinz retired after last year's disappointing World Cup finish at home when Germany was eliminated early and she was relegated to the bench.
Prinz played in five World Cup tournaments and scored 14 goals, a record she shares with Marta of Brazil. In 214 matches for Germany, Prinz scored 128 goals.
She also helped Germany win five European titles and earned three Olympic bronze medals.

Johnson seeks first Cup win at Michigan
Jun 14, 2013, 9:58 PM EDT
It seems hard to believe, but indeed there are places where five-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson has never won a race – five of them, actually. One of those facilities where Johnson hasn't gone to Victory Lane is Michigan International Speedway, site of this weekend's Quicken Loans 400.
To say that Johnson has been up-and-down recently on the two-mile oval may be putting it mildly. In last year's pair of races at MIS, Johnson finished fifth in June despite running out of gas on the final lap but then suffered a DNF when the Cup circus came back in August. Going back to 2011, a parts failure led to a 27th-place result in the June race, but in August, he turned in a runner-up effort.
2010 saw him finish 6th (June) and 12th (August), which were improvements from his MIS runs in 2009; in June of that year, he ran out of gas and finished 22nd despite leading 146 of 200 laps, and later that August, more fuel problems sent him to a 33rd-place finish after leading 133 circuits.
Suffice to say, Johnson's itching to finally get that Michigan win under his belt.
"I've been ready for a long time," said Johnson, who won last weekend at Pocono Raceway in dominant style. "We've been so close here. But, when it happens, it will make it all that sweeter for us. The exciting thing is we've been plenty fast here over the years. But getting to the final lap and seeing that checkered flag has been a little more difficult than I could imagine."
But even without a win at MIS, he's still managed to come away with plenty of hardware in his career. This time, he comes to Michigan with a strong 51-point edge over Carl Edwards in the championship, something that he said he couldn't think of having when the season began.
That lead, as he also noted, could be bigger at this time if not for problems at the Coca-Cola 600 last month and more recently at Dover International Speedway, where a restart penalty cost him a potential win.
"I look at Charlotte and Dover as misses to even have 20 or 30 more points," he said. "I really am shocked that we are so far out ahead of everybody. And I know that the No. 20 [Matt Kenseth] has had some bad luck and a couple of other guys have, too. But we've had a little bad luck as well."

KNOXVILLE -- Tennessee basketball player Trae Golden was named to the watch list for the 2013 Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year Award, which was released Thursday by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
The Cousy Award, named for basketball hall of famer and legendary former Boston Celtics star Bob Cousy, recognizes the top point guard in men's college basketball annually.
A junior from Powder Springs, Ga., Golden is in his second season as Tennessee's starter at point guard. Through UT's first nine games, he leads the Vols in scoring (13.6 ppg), assists (5.0 apg, second in the SEC) and minutes played (30.6 mpg). His 2.81 assist-to-turnover ratio ranks fourth among SEC players, and he is averaging a career-best 3.7 rebounds per game.
Golden is the reigning SEC Player of the Week, and he was tabbed as a second-team preseason All-SEC selection by the league's head coaches.
"The Bob Cousy Award promotes the values of leadership, determination and teamwork – all skills needed on the basketball court and in life," said Ken Kaufman, Chair of the Bob Cousy Award and former president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). "Mr. Cousy exemplified all of these traits, and inspired so many people on and off the court. We hope that this coveted award continues to honor his legacy."
More than 80 candidates were included on Thursday's initial watch list, which will be narrowed down to 20 in January and then trimmed to 10 in February. In March, five finalists will be named, and a selection panel of collegiate basketball coaches, media members, sports information directors and hall of famers will name the winner.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) surprised colleagues with an emotional return to the House floor Monday night to cast her vote on the debt ceiling bill. Beyond adding a veneer of class to the ugly debt-limit fight, her return fueled speculation that she'll run for re-election in 2012 — especially given the remarkable recovery the congresswoman has made since a nearly lethal January assassination attempt. Her office say no decision has been made yet, but could Giffords actually be running?
Dems certainly hope so: The "political reality" is that Giffords is a "popular, moderate" politician who has thrived in Arizona, a state that is trending "increasingly conservative," say Mark Perigard at The Boston Herald. She's also one of only three Democrats remaining in Arizona's congressional delegation. It's no wonder her colleagues have been fundraising on her behalf. Finding another Democratic candidate to win the seat "would be a tall order."
"Giffords' return: A nod toward 2012?
And she has the luxury of time: Giffords doesn't have to make a decision yet, says Josh Voorhees at Slate, thanks to the efforts of her Democratic colleagues who have already "laid the financial foundation of a re-election campaign for her." She's been named to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's "Frontline" program, which assists with fundraising and outreach to help protect "vulnerable incumbents." Waiting to announce may help Giffords, too. GOP rivals "have been treading carefully" during her recovery, and will not likely launch a campaign to unseat her until she makes a formal decision.
"Surprise Giffords appearance sparks latest 2012 speculation"
But will she be healthy enough? "Just because she voted once doesn't mean she's back for good," says Arizona NBC affiliate KVOA. Doctors say she still has limitations, even though "mentally she's ready." A re-election campaign would be physically taxing on the still-recovering congresswoman, and it's still "too soon to tell" if she could handle the daily rough-and-tumble demands.

Program Synopsis
A drama, based on a true story, about a high school experiment in mind control. When asked by his students to explain how Germany willingly went along with Nazism, and ignored the slaughter around them, Burt Ross, the teacher, designs for his students a psychological game based on a strict code of behavior that stresses the feeling that an individual is part of something more important than him or herself -- a movement. Soon the game becomes real, and turns the school into an aggressive, regimental and regressive Fascist State. Burt Ross must bring the game to its conclusion before things get too out of hand at the school.

Faith Community Nursing
Future of Nursing Initiative
In a recent issue, a nurse was concerned when a colleague released confidential patient information to a chemical dependency specialist who may have misrepresented his purpose for obtaining it ("Confidentiality: Wrongful Disclosure Woes," Ethical Problems, November 2005). I'd like to propose an alternative to your consultant's advice. In some hospitals, a nurse can refer such requests to the hospital's Release of Information office, usually found in the Health Information Management department, rather than releasing information herself. There, trained and credentialed staff handle requests for information daily, using forms that comply with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards. They can also make appropriate entries in the record about the information requested and its disclosure. The Release of Information office will have policies and procedures that cover requests made during emergencies and on nights and weekends.
Nurses are busy enough taking care of patients. They shouldn't have to take care of releasing information too.

Yahoo reports that the Red Sox may begin their 2008 season in a series against Oakland in Tokyo Dome. This game would be a first for both teams opening their seasons in Japan.
The Athletics also seem quite open to the idea.
Athletics player representative Huston Street said the club seemed to like the idea.
"The team has pretty much approved it," the reliever said before Monday's game at Seattle. "We're just waiting on word."
This series would provide the perfect opportunity for Daisuke Matsuzaka and Hideki Okajima to head back home and play in front of their native country and fans.
Other MLB exhibition games are slated for March 2008 in Beijing.

Cross-country skier clinches Canada's first gold at Sochi Paralympics
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Monday, March 10, 2014 6:07AM EDT
Last Updated Monday, March 10, 2014 3:10PM EDT
Cross-country skier Brian McKeever claimed Canada's first gold medal at the Sochi Paralympic Winter Games.
McKeever, 34, finished the men's visually impaired 20-kilometre cross-country race in 52 minutes, 37.1 seconds. The win in Sochi brought McKeever his eighth Paralympic gold medal.
The medallist was guided through the course by Canadian cross-country skiers Erik Carleton and Graham Nishikawa.
The win came as a surprise for the Canmore, Alta. native, who told CTV News Channel he caught a virus last week, so he wasn't sure what to expect of his performance. The virus forced him to drop out of the men's 7.5-kilometre biathlon on Saturday.
"It was a tough day today," McKeever told CTV News Channel on Monday. "In an endurance sport, you knock yourself down a few per cent and that can mean the difference between winning and losing."
With four years between games, "everything's geared towards that, all your training and the races in the middle are great but it's all for the big event. If you miss your chance after four years, it's a long wait for the next one."
Russia's Stanislav Chokhlaev, 24, finished second and Sweden's Zebastian Modin, 19, finished third. Chokhlaev was more than one minute behind McKeever, and Modin was four minutes behind.
"It's nice to see that we're still hanging in there at the top and showing the young guys that old men can pace these races out as well."
McKeever has macular degeneration, a medical condition that causes a loss of central vision. His father and aunt both have the same impairment.
"Judging from their experience, they remember being in grade 1 and they couldn't read the boards, and for me it developed really late, so we thought it skipped both my brother and I," McKeever said. But he noticed his vision fading in his late teens, and was diagnosed at 18.
The skier has a one-kilometre sprint race on Wednesday, a relay race on Saturday and a 10-kilometre race on Sunday.

MADtv gets a thirteenth season
Somebody is still watching MADtv, because the FOX's late night series of wacky sketches and parodies has been given a thirteenth season.
According to the press release, the series is most popular among teens. That seems to be the best explanation as to why it's still on the air; I don't know anyone my age or older who still watches the series.
Not unlike the magazine it's vaguely based on, MADtv works almost exclusively in parody (I'm thinking of the old Mad I used to read, I haven't picked up a copy in many years), which is one thing that sets it apart from other sketch comedy shows, but also why it probably doesn't attract older viewers more in tune with the sensibilities of satirical shows like South Park and The Daily Show.
Of course, it is possible to enjoy more than one type of show, but it makes perfect sense that younger folks would be drawn to MADtv. It's goofy and a bit over the top, and it's not too difficult for me to think back to a time when that kind of humor was right up my alley.

Sri Lanka Economic Summit to examine Ease of Doing Business
Tue, Jun 26, 2012, 08:03 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Jun 26, Colombo: The Sri Lanka Economic Summit scheduled to be held will be held in Colombo from July 10 to 12 will examine the ground realities in doing business in Sri Lanka.
The Sri Lanka Economic Summit organized by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) for the thirteenth consecutive year, will have a session on 'Ease of Doing Business- Sri Lanka ranked 89- Fact or fiction?'.
The World Bank's 2012 Doing Business Report ranked Sri Lanka as 89th among 183 countries, moving it from 98 in 2011.
The CCC said the government has taken an initiative to improve Sri Lanka's ranking as global indices are often used by international investors to make an initial assessment of the country.
"While no ranking system is perfect and the same counts for the assessment of Ease of Doing Business, what is more important is actual progress in reforms to have a material improvement in the regulatory framework and systems to ease business processes," the CCC further said.
The Ceylon Chamber said the session will have senior government and private sector officials who will discuss reforms and other measures necessary to simplify systems and processes to do business.
C. J. P. Siriwardena, Assistant Governor, Central Bank of Sri Lanka will deliver the main presentation of the session which will be followed by a panel discussion.
Panelists from state sector include Sri Lanka Ports Authority Chairman Priyath Bandu Wickrama, Director General of Customs Neville Gunawardena, CEO of Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA), Reshan Devapura, while Deputy Chairman, John Keells Holdings Ajith Gunawardena, Shipping Manager, Unilever Sri Lanka Dinesh De Silva, and Managing Director, Haycarb Rajitha Kariyawasam, will participate from private sector.

'Greenwich Village': a flashback to '60s folk-music scene
The documentary "Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation" provides a lot of interviews with survivors of the 1960s folk-music scene but presents a poor history with many omissions and narrative gaps, says movie reviewer Tom Keogh.
Special to The Seattle Times
Movie Review
'Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation,' a documentary directed by Laura Archibald, from a screenplay by Archibald, Rob Lindsay and Kevin Wallis. 92 minutes. Not rated. Grand Illusion, through Thursday.
Joel and Ethan Coen ("True Grit") took home the Grand Prix award from the Cannes Film Festival last weekend, winning for their new feature, "Inside Llewyn Davis." The film is set in the thriving folk-music scene of 1960s Greenwich Village.
In a timely opening, a recent documentary, "Greenwich Village: Music That Defined a Generation," arrives this week. Though lacking narrative focus, it offers rich impressions of a New York City artistic community that profoundly influenced American popular culture.
At its best, "Greenwich Village" introduces some of the survivors of such beloved folk clubs as Café Wha?, The Gaslight and The Bitter End, including such folk pillars (and on-camera interviewees) as Pete Seeger, Peter Yarrow, Eric Andersen, Tom Chapin, Tom Paxton, Judy Collins and the late Richie Havens.
They offer historical context for the Village's concentration of folk performances from the 1950s through the '60s, and how it was really a renaissance of much older roots-music traditions. As such, the Village attracted both strict archivists and new singer-songwriters on its stages, among the latter such famous names as Joni Mitchell, Arlo Guthrie and — above all — Bob Dylan.
There's concert footage, but not much, and what there is often comes, frustratingly, without comment. Clips of The Big 3 (a trio that gave rise to more important groups) and Richard Fariña (a significant bridge between literary and music worlds at the time) are left to dangle, leaving confusion and story gaps.
Ultimately, director Laura Archibald is less interested in a rigorous, textured, detailed history of the scene and its players than in getting warm and fuzzy about the link between folk music and progressive lifestyles. That connection exists, of course, but is that any reason to devote so much self-congratulatory screen time to Lucy and Carly Simon and next to nothing about legends Phil Ochs or Dave Van Ronk?

GRAND-AM drops in on Atlanta Braves game
Apr 18, 2013, 11:30 AM EDT
With GRAND-AM making its inaugural visit to Road Atlanta this weekend, the series got some nice promotion Tuesday night at Turner Field, where driver Dane Cameron took a parade lap around the park in his Daytona Prototype before the seventh inning of the Atlanta Braves-Kansas City Royals game.
"It was really neat and must have made for some awesome photos," said Cameron, a resident of Metro Atlanta and co-driver of the No. 42 Team Sahlen machine with Wayne Nonnamaker. "It was pretty wild being in front of the gate waiting to go on the field, I've never been that close on a Major League Baseball field like that before. Just having the car sitting there waiting to go out was very special, that doesn't happen every day."
GRAND-AM's event on the 2.5-mile road course will also be its last before it merges with the American Le Mans Series to become United SportsCar Racing in 2014. Cameron and Nonnamaker currently sit eighth in the Rolex Sports Car Series standings.

Rousey told the Sherdog
Radio Network's "It's Time" show with Bruce Buffer. "I think
she's a victim of her own cheating, whereas when she was doped up
and she looked like she was so head-over-heels above all these
girls, it made the women's division look bad. Then she cleaned out
her own division because of that. Now she's having to deal with the
consequences of it. No one's going to want to fight a cheater. I'm
pretty much her only option and I'm chock full of options."
Santos has not fought since failing a steroid test last December.
She's serving a one-year suspension and was also stripped of her
145-pound title. Meanwhile Rousey has emerged as a star. The
promotion's 135-pound champion, she challenged Cyborg to cut weight
for a matchup, but Cyborg responded by inviting Rousey to move back
up to 145.
"I could," said Rousey, who has fought at 145. "I could, but I'm
choosing not to because honestly, I don't trust any of the drug
testing. I've been doing this a very, very long time and I was in
the Olympics with the most stringent drug testing in the world. You
know a lot of those people are doping. There's new advances in drug
testing every single year because people find new ways to cheat.
The only way I can really feel like it would be a fair fight is if
it's down at 135. If she's doped to the gills and making 145, it's
not really that farfetched for me to think that someone not on
steroids could move down a division."
Cyborg has said, however, that her doctors advised her against
dropping to 135 pounds. Rousey doesn't buy it.
"Is this the same doctor that was giving you the steroids?" Rousey
said. "What do you think he tells his other girls when you're
pumped full of roids, pummeling them in the face? It just sounds so
hypocritical to me. I can't stand it."
The way Rousey sees it, a fight at 135 would give Cyborg a chance
to redeem herself. If it doesn't come together, then Rousey is
confident she'll have plenty of other options to pursue -- and
she's confident that Cyborg won't.
"She's been exposed as a fraud," Rousey said. "She hasn't won a
real fight, a real recorded fight, in two years. For her to come
back from her suspension and be like, 'I want a title fight and I
want it at the weight I want, and I want, I want, I want' -- where
are all these demands and sense of entitlement coming from?
Shouldn't you be wanting to prove yourself to everybody else? That,
'Yeah, I can do this. I don't need drugs. I can make 135. I can
beat her anyway.' I think she's showing a lot of insecurity on her
