Concluding comments of the Committee - CEDAW : Argentina. 23/08/2002.
A/57/38,paras.339–369. (Concluding Observations/Comments)
Convention Abbreviation: CEDAW
Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination
against Women
Concluding comments of the Committee on the Elimination of
Discrimination against Women: Argentina
339. The Committee considered the fourth and fifth periodic reports of Argentina (CEDAW/C/ARG/4 and CEDAW/C/ARG/5) at its 584th meeting, on 16 August 2002 (see CEDAW/C/SR.584).
(a) Introduction by the State party
340. In introducing the fourth and fifth periodic reports, the representative of Argentina pointed out that the fourth and fifth periodic reports provided information on implementation of the Convention during two presidential periods under different political parties. However, the National Women's Council, created 10 years before as an agency within the national executive, had been continuously working on specific objectives related to the implementation of the Convention regardless of changes in political leadership.
341. The representative provided an overview of her country's institutional, social and economic situation with regard to serious crisis which had erupted in December 2001 and noted the ways in which the crisis had affected women in particular. Unemployment rates had been increasing since 1995 and had reached an historic high in 2002. Sex-disaggregated data on that phenomenon was available only for the areas of Greater Buenos Aires, where the impact was higher among men (23.2 per cent) than among women (20.1 per cent). Despite the current crisis, the Government had taken steps to increase the number of working women by fixing quotas for women in unemployment plans and professional training.
342. A number of emergency plans had been implemented by the Government in response to the crisis, including a food emergency plan to provide people with financial assistance in purchasing food; and a "Male and female heads of household plan" to guarantee to eligible households the social inclusion family right, including school attendance, health care, training and placement in occupations. A health emergency had been declared in order to guarantee access to basic heath-care goods and services.
343. The representative stated that women's mechanisms in Argentina were vulnerable to reductions in public expenditure and that the National Women's Council had suffered budget cuts of 75 per cent in 2000 and a further 27 per cent in 2001. The representative noted, however, that the Council had continued to implement most of its projected plans and programmes and had developed others.
344. The national Government, through the National Women's Council as executing agency, had been implementing the Federal Plan for Women, which was aimed at institutional strengthening of national, provincial and municipal women's machineries. Although the Plan had undergone a total reduction of funding from 15 million to 10 million pesos, causing delays and the postponement of some activities, accomplishments included the acquisition and distribution of computers for all provincial Women's Area offices; the holding of seminars, workshops and gender-related training and technical assistance, and financial support for local projects dealing with gender-sensitive public policies. Two externally funded programmes had also been developed to mainstream gender into projects financed by the World Bank and promote gender-sensitive family development.
345. With regard to the Committee's concluding comments on the second and third periodic reports in 1997, the representative described a number of actions which had been taken by the Government. They included the enactment and implementation of a quota law providing for the election of a minimum of 30 per cent of women to the National Congress. The results of the reform had been demonstrated in the national elections of 2001 in which women's participation reached the minimum level of 30 per cent.
346. The Government had also taken steps to adjust the country's penal code to the provisions of the Convention by passing the 1999 Crimes Against Sexual Integrity Act, and had been developing procedures and indicators for sex-disaggregated data collection and a gender gap indicator system for monitoring and policy formulation.
347. With regard to violence against women, the representative stated that legislatures in 20 provinces had passed relevant laws dealing with, inter alia, civil law jurisdiction, formal and informal marriages, mechanisms for reporting violations of the law, family interaction, educational and therapeutic programmes and treatments, and free medical and psychological assistance. At the national level, the tax reform law of 2000 contained provisions for medical insurance, retirement and pensions for domestic workers, and the Congress was considering approximately 10 bills dealing with the issue of sexual harassment. Since 1999, legislation had been introduced addressing the problem of alimony and penalties imposed for delinquency in payments.
348. The representative acknowledged that there were fundamental issues which needed to be addressed with regard to violence against women. They included specialized assistance for women victims of violence, coordination among various State agencies, easy and free-of-charge access to legal protection and wider awareness of women's human rights.
349. With regard to the Optional Protocol to the Convention, the representative stated that, in April 2002, a request had been made by the Government to withdraw the Protocol from consideration by the Congress. However, the bill was still in the Senate, where an exchange of views on its future approval was taking place.
(b) Concluding comments of the Committee
350. The Committee thanks the State party for its fourth and fifth periodic reports under the Convention, which were prepared in accordance with the Committee's guidelines for the preparation of reports, and for its replies to the questions of the pre-session working group.
351. The Committee thanks the State party for having sent a delegation headed by the President of the National Women's Council of Argentina, despite the serious crisis the country is experiencing.
352. The Committee evaluated the serious economic, financial, political and social crisis which Argentina has been experiencing since 2001 and endorsed the decision of the pre-session Working Group to request the States party to submit expanded and updated information on the impact of the crisis on the country's female population; it decided accordingly to adapt its method of work for analysing reports as the content of the reports was not up-to-date.
Request for a follow-up report
353. In the framework of a constructive dialogue, the Committee expressed its dissatisfaction with the lack of information provided on the impact of the crisis on the country's female population, which negatively affected the implementation of the Convention; consequently, it decided to request the State party, in conformity with article 18, paragraph 1 (b), of the Convention, to submit a follow-up report in January 2004 for consideration by the Committee in June 2004.
354. The Committee made it clear that in no case was the follow-up report to replace the submission of a sixth periodic report by Argentina, scheduled for 14 August 2006, in accordance with article 18 of the Convention.
355. The follow-up report should take into account the areas of concern under the Convention as indicated in the paragraphs below and reply to the recommendations made by the Committee in these concluding comments, and should include expanded, updated and systematized information, including sex-disaggregated data as far as possible, about the impact of the crisis on the country's female population and the measures adopted to reduce and overcome its negative effects on women.
Principal areas of concern and recommendations
356. The Committee is concerned at the situation of women resulting from the growing increase in poverty, and extreme poverty, which has spread to more than half the population, and which can have a disproportionately heavy impact on the female population. Of special concern are women heads of household who are living in poverty and unemployed, with dependent children, and women from rural areas, indigenous populations and the most vulnerable sectors of the population.
357. The Committee recommends that the State party should pay special, ongoing attention to the situation of women and should take the necessary measures to prevent women, especially those from rural areas, indigenous populations and the most vulnerable sectors of the population, from bearing the heaviest burden of the crisis. It also requests the State party to ensure that the Programme for unemployed heads of household with children under 18 or disabled children includes a gender perspective in order that the few resources that are available for social allowances may be distributed without discrimination.
358. The Committee is concerned at the precarious nature of women's employment, in particular the situation of unemployed women in the informal sector.
359. The Committee recommends that the State party should make all necessary efforts to guarantee compliance with the labour legislation and protect women from the violation of their basic labour rights and from discriminatory dismissals.
360. The Committee is concerned at the high maternal mortality rate and at the fact that, with the increasing deterioration in health services, women, in particular those in situations of vulnerability, are losing their right to comprehensive health care, in particular as regards sexual and reproductive health. The Committee is also concerned because, in this critical context, the incidence of HIV/AIDS is tending to increase, especially among women.
361. The Committee recommends that the State party should guarantee women's access to health services, including sexual and reproductive health services, and that it should adopt the necessary measures to reduce the high maternal mortality rate. The Committee recommends that the State party should pay special attention to preventing and combating HIV/AIDS.
362. The Committee is concerned at the fact that the crisis has affected access by women, particularly girls, to public education because they lack the resources needed either to begin or continue their studies.
363. The Committee recommends that the State party should make every possible effort to guarantee access by girls to education under conditions equal to those of boys, with special attention to girls from the most vulnerable sectors.
364. The Committee is concerned that, although the State party has extensive legislation in the area of prevention and treatment of domestic violence, this problem has worsened. The Committee is concerned that the crisis might increase the risk of trafficking in women and girls and their exploitation for purposes of prostitution.
365. The Committee requests the State party to ensure that its Recommendation No. 19 on violence against women is taken into account and that all necessary measures are taken to provide full protection to the victims, punish those responsible and check the growing trend towards violence against women. The Committee requests the State party, especially, to evaluate the trafficking of women and girls and to strengthen domestic measures and, if necessary, international measures in cooperation with other countries that are countries of origin, transit or destination for the exploitation of women and girls for purposes of trafficking, in particular to prevent the exploitation of prostitution.
366. The Committee notes with concern the attempt to downgrade the National Women's Council and the lack of a formal strategy for coordination of the different State agencies.
367. The Committee notes the importance of continuity, autonomy management and coordination of the national mechanism for the advancement of women at this time of crisis in the country and recommends that they should be strengthened.
368. The Committee recommends that the State party should include and involve women in the process of economic, financial, political and social reconstruction of the country.
369. The Committee requests that the present concluding comments be widely disseminated in Argentina in order to inform the public, in particular public officials and politicians, of the measures taken to guarantee and to be adopted to guarantee the de facto and de jure equality of women and of the measures to be adopted for that purpose.

In a word, "GLORIOUS!"
Alan Majeska | Bad Axe, MI, USA | 01/30/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Uwe Christian Harrer's performance of Mozart Choral works with the Vienna Boys Choir, members of the Vienna State Opera Chorus, and members of the Vienna State Opera Orchestra is nothing short of miraculous. Filmed in two beautiful Vienna churches, one of them formerly the Chapel of the Imperial Palace, these are truly beautiful Video/Audio experiences. Mozart's music is well served: the Vienna Choir Boys sing the soprano and alto parts, with tenor and bass parts sung by the men of the Vienna State Opera Chorus.
Harrer sets sensible tempos, and is animated with the music, but not an interpreter who calls attention to himself, a la Bernstein, Solti, Stokowski, or Tennstedt. He is a SERVANT of the music, giving clear direction and very sensible beats, and a great sense of ensemble results from his direction. Harrer emphasizes the choral textures of Mozart's writing, here in the early Waisenhaus Mass in C minor (recorded here in 1988), written when Mozart was just 12 years old! All of this work may not be top drawer Mozart, but Harrer and his forces do just about what can be done with it. There are varied solos for boy soprano and alto, and tenor and bass, which alternate with fugal/polyphonic and homophonic full chorus textures, introductory and alternating choral parts. The "Gloria" and "Credo" movements are in several alternating sections, and stick less in my mind than the Kyrie, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. Camera work in excellent, catching the various choir sections singing at a given moment, or the 1st violins, trumpet or trombone when they have an important part.
The shorter choral works, recorded in 1990, deal with the adoration of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ - very important in the Roman Catholic liturgy and theology in Austria during Mozart's time (Moreso than today, since Vatican II, 1962-65) and also the adoration of the Host: the consecrated bread, believed by Roman Catholics to be Christ's true body in the Mass. These are all works unfamiliar to me (except the closing "Ave Verum Corpus") but are very beautiful, showing a wonderful sacred side of Mozart, a real contrast to his operas, for example,"The Marriage of Figaro" and "Don Giovanni".
I hope there are more DVD recordings forthcoming from the Vienna Boys Choir under Mr. Harrer. Excellent digital stereo sound, and wonderful picture quality (full screen, 4:3) make this a great experience. I nearly wept during the closing "Ave Verum Corpus," a quiet homophonic anthem of adoration to the crucified body of Christ. The accompaniment of a chamber orchestra makes this a more beautiful experience than I realized was possible. Yes, Mozart's music is well served here!
In a word, "GLORIOUS!""
Excellent Mozart Choral Works DVD
James R. Fraley | 03/06/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Mozart's choral works are among the finest but least celebrated of the composer's incredible legacy. In this audio and video treasure, we get to hear and see some of these performed by the incomparable Vienna Boys Choir in two historical settings in the old city in which Mozart spent so much of his creative life.
The camera work is superb, blending first class musical performances with scenes from the locations where they were done.
What is needed now is an updated version of these, or other Mozart choral works, done by the Vienna Boys Choir. While the DVD faithfully portrays the gorgeous sights and sounds of the original performances, they were done in 1988 and 1990. Undoubtedly, the Vienna Boys Choir is still up to the standard shown in those years. The boys and Mozart deserve another and more recent recording session."
Great music, disappointing video quality
Sailor | South Pacific | 03/22/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)
"Of course the music from the Vienna Boys Choir was great..... but I was very disappointed with the poor resolution of the video.
Perhaps it was full screen cut out of a wide screen recording, blowing up a smaller part of the original to the extent that it was no longer sharp, or perhaps it was just a poor resolution recording or perhaps simply poor translation from the recording to the DVD. I don't know.
But in any case, I am disappointed by the image quality and I regret not having simply bought an audio CD. For the price of the DVD I could have had a couple of the Vienna Boys' Choir's other audio CDs."
Superior-Voice Boy Soprano
Go for Baroque | Denver | 03/20/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"These recordings (well reviewed elswhere) may be from 1988 & 1990, but this is the best Wiener Sangerknaben DVD I've found, certainly far better than the 2006 DVD "A Mozart Celebration" with its disappointing boy and adult soloists. A now-better-known soloist Max Emanuel Cencic, noted for his stunning technique, makes a brief appearance only. His later solo CD plus his adult countertenor CDs now are available. The most beautiful boy's voice I've ever heard, however, (the "Gundula Janowitz" of boys) was Steven Mockel who sang 1st Soprano in Sub Tuum Praesidium, K198 along with Alfred Halbartschlager. Steven's singing avoids the thin sound, weakness, and uneveness too often associated with boys' voices. His full, warm, solid sound is superior to all other whom I've heard in all my years. This DVD is well worth having just for this. I have found no other recordings of this angelic voice, although ironically this one piece appears on Cencic's solo CD."

Q and A
July 2006
Richard A. Savage
Q: Several articles have stated that
the triglyceride/HDL ratio can be used as a surrogate marker for fasting
insulin levels and is clinically useful for monitoring the treatment
of diabetics and assessing a patient's cardiac risk. Can this information
be validated?
A. The ratio of triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
(Tg/ HDL-C ratio) is often related to a patient's level of insulin resistance.
Insulin-resistant patients commonly display elevated triglyceride levels
and depressed HDL-C levels, increasing the Tg/ HDL-C ratio. The classic
lipid findings in insulin-resistance syndrome—for example, the
metabolic syndrome or dysmetabolic syndrome X (ICD-9:277.7)—include
hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C, and an increased concentration of dense
low-density lipoprotein particles that are depleted of cholesterol. Researchers
have established that states of insulin resistance are associated with
an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.1–4
The tissues most responsive to insulin are skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and the liver. In nondiabetic, yet insulin-resistant, patients, insulin levels can be elevated as pancreatic beta cells attempt to compensate for decreased insulin action. Therefore, there is a positive correlation between the Tg/ HDL-C ratio and the fasting insulin concentration in nondiabetic individuals. However, because this correlation is modest at best and varies considerably throughout the general population, the calculation of Tg/ HDL-C ratio cannot be substituted for a measurement of the fasting insulin concentration should the physician want an assessment of insulin resistance.
The gold standard assessments of insulin resistance are dynamic tests carried
out in research settings using the glucose or insulin clamp techniques or the
frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test.5 Whereas
the fasting insulin concentration in nondiabetic individuals is positively
correlated with the subject's degree of insulin resistance, fasting insulin
by itself is not the best static measurement of insulin resistance. Even dividing
the insulin concentration into 40 improves the correlation of fasting insulin
with insulin sensitivity.6
The more sophisticated, although controversial,7 static
assessments of insulin resistance available to physicians include the homeostasis
model assessment (Fig. 1),8 quantitative
insulin sensitivity check index (Fig. 2),9 fasting
glucose-to-insulin ratio (Fig. 3),10 and
insulin sensitivity index, or ISI, corrected for fat-free mass divided by average
insulin Mffm/I = exp[2.63 – 0.28 ln insulin – 0.31 ln (Tg)]; M = glucose disposal
rate, ffm = fat-free mass; I= insulin.11 Oral
glucose tolerance tests have also been used to estimate insulin sensitivity.12 For
example, when insulin is expressed in microunits per milliliter and glucose
is measured as milligrams per deciliter, a [glucosefasting] / [insulinfasting]
ratio of less than 4.5 is considered abnormal.
Measurements of insulin resistance are not presently used to monitor the success
of diabetes treatment. Glycemic monitoring is the providence of hemoglobin
A1c measurements and self-monitoring of blood glucose.13 Lipid profile
assessments are also a routine part of diabetes monitoring. However, the American
Diabetes Association has no recommendations to calculate the Tg/HDL-C ratio
or use such a ratio in assessing diabetic control. The lipid assessment of
diabetic control is based on the absolute concentrations of LDL-C, triglycerides,
and HDL-C. Similarly, in assessing any patient's risk for cardiovascular disease,
the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III, or NCEP
ATP III, has no recommendations to calculate the Tg/HDL-C ratio or the total
cholesterol-to-HDL-C ratio. This is because risk assessment and therapy are
based on the absolute levels of LDL-C and because HDL-C, triglycerides, and
the patient's 10-year risk for cardiovascular disease are not based on ratios.14-15
In short, the Tg/HDL-C ratio cannot be recommended as a routine tool for assessing diabetic control or risk for cardiovascular disease based on current recommendations from the ADA or NCEP ATP III.

A: Contractions aren't wrong—they're just less formal than the expanded forms. Using them depends on your audience. They're far more acceptable today than they were when your grandpa was just a dad, and there's nothing wrong with contractions in the right context. And sometimes there can be a good deal wrong without them. As you can probably see, Writer's Digest uses them quite frequently. Our style is to employ conjunctions when they flow naturally and make the sentence smoother.
If you're writing a college term paper or a professional study, however, you should probably avoid them. As for novels, short stories and other forms of writing where your own style is required, it's up to you whether you can, cannot or can't use them.
Brian A. Klems is the online managing editor of Writer's Digest magazine.

A documentary on the Maidanek concentration camp has triggered a controversy here similar to the one that raged when the American television series ''Holocaust'' was shown six years ago.
Eberhard Fechner, a leading West German filmmaker, spent eight years making his film, ''Der Prozess,'' (The Trial). It concerns the longest trial ever conducted in West Germany - that of former guards of the Nazi concentration camp at Maidanek, in Poland.
West German television stations are owned by public corporations that are controlled by boards whose members represent the political parties, churches, labor unions, and other mass organizations.
''They tried to kill my film by silence,'' Mr. Fechner said in a statement distributed to journalists.
In the end, ''Der Prozess'' was shown late last month on the third TV channel , which is reserved for programs of interest to minority social and cultural groups. Fechner wanted it shown on the more popular first channel.
''By shunting it to the third channel,'' he said before transmission, ''it will be seen only by those persons who in any event have not forgotten the human guilt for the Nazi crimes. All of those who suppress or attempt to deny what Germans did in the concentration camps will be spared my film.''
His editor, Hans Brecht, was less angry.
''After all, you cannot make anyone watch something that is painful to him,'' Mr. Brecht said after the airing of the three 90-minute segments. ''As it turned out, somewhere between 5 and 8 percent of all TV owners did see the series. And in any event, we made it so that 50 years from now, people can view it and learn what happened in the concentration camps.''
The American film, ''Holocaust,'' also was shown on the third channel. But it was preceded by an enormous publicity campaign, and each segment was followed by long studio discussions among experts answering questions called in. The Federal Central Office for Political Education sent tens of thousands of packets of specially prepared material to schools that asked for it after pupils saw the TV series.
Fechner's film was preceded by lots of publicity about the dispute over its placement. But as a documentary rather than a teleplay, it stood by itself without the need for post-transmission explanation.
Fechner filmed interviews with 70 persons - defendants, judges, witnesses, survivors of Maidanek, journalists, and other courtroom observers. The defendants were accused of participation in the murder of at least 250,000 persons, most of them East European Jews, at Maida-nek. Fechner interviewed only persons who were eyewitnesses of the events in Maidanek or the Dusseldorf trial.
The trial lasted 61/2 years, and the defendants spoke to the court only once, to plead innocent. But they talked to Fechner's camera.
Fechner told his story by splicing together sections of his interviews. The interviewer is neither seen nor heard. The camera stares from one angle at those being interviewed.
This is particularly effective when contrasted with the frightful crimes being discussed in ordinary living-room voices. Fechner has 250 hours of such interviews on film, which he is giving to the federal archives. They are to be available to any researcher.
Transmission of the film was delayed until appeals by the five former Maidanek guards had been rejected by the Supreme Court and their prison sentences became effective.
The first segment was transmitted on West Germany's Repentance Day. Mr. Brecht said most of the telephone calls made to TV stations that night were to protest the documentary. The second night, he said, about half the calls were positive, and the third night all of the calls approved the showing of Fechner's film.
Brecht said that many of the positive calls and letters that followed came from young people.
''Some Germans will claim the trial was simply a dirtying of the nest,'' a German journalist who witnessed most sessions of the trial told Fechner's camera. ''But in fact it cleaned the nest.''

The Florida Board of Governors has given the green light to a plan for the University of Florida to spend close to $1 billion to hire as many as 100 new faculty over the next five years to help achieve top 10 status nationally.
GAINESVILLE - The Florida Board of Governors has given the green light to a plan for the University of Florida to spend close to $1 billion to hire as many as 100 new faculty over the next five years to help achieve top-10 status nationally.
UF is already among the top 10 public universities in 22 categories identified by President Bernie Machen but lags in seven critical areas, four of them having to do with faculty.
The plan, outlined by Machen, calls for investing $13.3 million in key areas and to recruit faculty with national standing in those areas.
"We selected the proposals that reflect UF's current strengths and that have potential to move the needle in their fields," Machen has said. "Such leadership in science and scholarship is a critical step to UF's rise among the nation's top public universities."
The money comes from a pre-eminence program approved by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott. It established requirements for universities to be considered, and over the summer the Board of Governors determined that UF and Florida State had met those requirements.
FSU met 11 of the 12, and UF met all 12 — qualifying it to receive $15 million a year for five years to help achieve its goals for top national peer rankings.
The law requires each university to submit a five-year benchmark plan for board approval. Each plan targets rankings on "key performance metrics for national excellence," the Board of Governors said.
Once each university's plan is approved, the board must award money approved by the Legislature for the universities to use toward reaching those pre-eminence benchmarks.
UF is getting an additional $15 million to start an online bachelor's degree program, called UF Online, and will receive an additional $5 million a year for the next four years to develop and implement the courses associated with the degree programs the university has identified. UF is already taking applications for classes set to begin in January.
For its benchmarks, UF chose from among a list of 29 "performance metrics" used by the Association of American Universities. UF is the only institution in the State University System that is among the 62 members of the AAU.
UF is ranked within the top 10 in 22 of those categories, and there are seven in which it is not ranked among the top 10. Those seven categories are: freshmen in the top 10 percent; actual six-year graduation rate; student-to-faculty ratio; faculty resources rank; national academy members; faculty awards; and total federal research expenditures.
Machen said UF is committed to improving the number of freshmen in the top 10 percent while continuing to "maintain access for students from low-income first-generation families."
UF is proud of its six-year graduation rate, which is the highest among Florida's public universities. The current 85 percent rate makes UF 11th in the AAU, and it has plans to improve that rate.
UF has committed the pre-eminence money to investing in faculty — recruiting and retaining top faculty in targeted research areas where the university can build on current strengths to push to the next level. The university has said it hopes to leverage that $15 million a year in matching private contributions for a total of $150 million to hire 75 to 100 new faculty members.
The UF Foundation has started a pre-eminence funding drive to raise an additional $800 million to support the university's climb to top-10 status with the creation of 107 endowed faculty chairs, scholarships, new chemistry and medical buildings, and scholarships.
UF administrators have picked 16 strategic areas for investment, including the McKnight Brain Institute, "Big Data," cybersecurity, life sciences and food security.
The 16 areas were chosen based on UF's current strengths and expertise that could be built on, and on fields that had significant potential to develop over the next 10-15 years, Provost Joe Glover said.
UF's Emerging Pathogens Institute has developed a statistical approach to modeling malaria and other diseases but needed faculty who could do mathematical modeling to understand the spread of the disease. They'll be getting $300,000 to help reach that next level.
Also, $2.2 million will be spent on neuroscience and the brain, building on the work already established at the McKnight Brain Institute, Glover said.
The Informatics Institute is getting the largest share of the pre-eminence money — $3.8 million — and will involve faculty from several colleges — Medicine, Public Health and Health Professions, Nursing, Engineering, Liberal Arts and Sciences, Agricultural and Life Sciences, and the Museum of Natural History.

OTTAWA -- Brett Mahers first career game-winning field goal was a historic one.
Rusney Castillo Jersey
. Mahers 23-yard field goal with 28 seconds remaining earned the Ottawa Redblacks a thrilling 18-17 win over the Toronto Argonauts on Friday night. The victory was not only the first for the expansion club but came in the first CFL game played in the Canadian capital since 2005. "In my whole career Ive kicked a bunch of field goals but never a game-winner," said the University of Nebraska rookie. "Id never even tried one. "I was just excited to be there and excited to cash it in. Mahers boot, his sixth of the game, came after Swayze Waters connected from 46 yards out to put Toronto ahead 17-15 with 1:33 remaining. It looked like the Argos (1-3) would spoil the party for a TD Place Stadium sellout of 24,000, which included Prime Minister Stephen Harper and explained the presence of sharpshooters on the opposite roofs of the facility. But quarterback Henry Burris calmly moved Ottawa (1-2) 60 yards on six plays to set up Mahers boot in what was anything but just another football game. It marked the first time since November 2005 that Ottawa had hosted a CFL regular-season game and the city hasnt celebrated a Grey Cup championship since 1976. "The atmosphere was great, a blast to be part of," Maher said. "Its a great feeling to win. "If I wouldve had the same night and we wouldve lost, it wouldve been sick." The exciting win capped what was a party atmosphere throughout the contest, with many fans standing and grooving to the tunes during timeouts. Ottawas home opener had been much anticipated, with supporters proudly sporting their colours all week and turning out in droves for the various pre-game festivities and pep rallies. "This crowd support we have here, its definitely going to be a tough place (for opponents) to play," said Burris. "Theres no better fanbase in this league than here in Ottawa. "Redblacks Nation is for real. For the people who arent here and unable to experience this, youre missing out." Thousands entered TD Place Stadium three hours before the opening kickoff to participate in the tailgating festivities. And once fans were allowed to settle into their seats, those on the south side of the stadium resumed the longstanding tradition of chanting "North Side Sucks." However, the entire gathering -- most of which was clad in red -- was on its feet as one, loudly cheering the Redblacks as they took to the field for the pre-game introductions. "That was awesome, the fans were remarkable," said rookie Redblacks head coach Rick Campbell. "I knew the setup of the stadium and how close it is to the field and thought it would be great. "But to experience it firsthand, it really makes a difference for our football team." The night was one of two firsts for Campbell, who also received his inaugural Gatorade shower afterwards. "I was kind of shocked because I was just living in the moment of our football team getting the win," said Campbell, whose father Hugh, the legendary former head coach and GM with the Edmonton Eskimos, was in attendance. "Its an exciting night for us." Despite both offences being inconsistent for much of the night, they did manage to move the ball and make for an exciting finish as Mahers 48-yard field goal at 9:53 of the fourth put Ottawa ahead 15-14. It take after Toronto took a 14-12 advantage on Ricky Rays 20-yard TD strike to Darvin Adams just 43 seconds into the quarter. That was Torontos first TD in eight quarters, dating back to the fourth quarter of its 48-15 home win over Saskatchewan on July 5. The Argos were minus veterans Chad Owens (foot), Andre Durie (clavicle) and Jason Barnes (knee), their top three receivers. Both defences were solid on the night. Toronto recorded five sacks on Burris, but Ottawa did force three turnovers, including Rays first two interceptions of the season. Burris finished 17-of-30 passing for 216 yards while adding 22 yards rushing. Ray was 21-of-37 passing for 298 yards and a TD with the two picks and watched Burris improve to 18-11 in their career head-to-head matchups. Ray also suffered his first loss in six career games against Ottawa. "Ive seen that too many times when hes taken his team down in the last minute and pulled out a victory," Ray said of Burris. "I definitely respect his game, but its tough to give him the ball with the game on the line and be on the sideline watching because he makes a lot of good plays out there." Argos head coach Scott Milanovich said his team gave Burris too much time following Waters field goal. "That (1:33) is forever with Henry Burris back there," Milanovich said. "We just couldnt make it stick. "Its as disappointing a loss Ive had since Ive been here. We have to find a way to win that one, theres no doubt about that." Waters finished with three field goals, a single and convert. Mahers 23-yard field goal at 14:56 of the second quarter earned Ottawa a 9-7 lead in a lacklustre opening half offensively as the kickers accounted for all the scoring. Both offences came close to TDs as Ray underthrew a wide-open John Chiles in the endzone in the first before a streaking Kierrie Johnson got behind Torontos secondary but had Burriss nicely thrown pass go off his outstretched hands. But both offences lacked consistency and finish as Burris , who got little help from his offensive line, was 7-of-12 passing for 75 yards and Ray completed 9-of-16 attempts for 127 yards, but 45 yards came on one completion. For the second time this year, Toronto was victimized by a fake punt that went for a first down. Maher scampered 15 yards on third-and-10 to keep a drive alive in the second that he ultimately capped with a 29-yard field goal at 6:24 to put Ottawa ahead 6-3. NOTES: In their final regular-season game, the Renegades beat Toronto 27-17 on Nov. 5, 2005. Renegades head coach Joe Paopao wore a Hawaiian short on the sidelines, as did his coaching staff and the clubs football operations department. Following the game, Paopao threw his third into the stands . . Burris came into the game needing 65 yards rushing to move ahead of former Rough Riders star Russ Jackson and into fourth in all-time rushing yards by a quarterback. Jackson has 5,122 yards. Retired star Damon Allen, who played for both Ottawa and Toronto over his illustrious career, holds the league record with 11,920 yards.

. Both sides came closest to scoring in the first half, when Roma had a goal from Mattia Destro waved off for offside and Inters Rodrigo Palacio headed high. "A draw was a fair result. Neither squad had many chances," Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic said.
.com) - American Madison Keys grabbed a first- round victory on Sunday in a rainy start to the Apia International Sydney tournament.In the midst of an eight-game losing streak, Leafs assistant GM Dave Poulin was adamant that the teams recent struggles have been an outlier and that a spell of inconsistency over the span of 13 days would not cause Toronto management to alter their course. "This is 13 days," Poulin said. "Its remarkable. Its eight games in 13 days, thats what all this has taken place in. Weve been working at this for four-plus years – youre not going to let 13 days change that. A lot of good things have happened as well and a lot of good things are going in the right direction. "Its not necessarily systematic breakdowns, its individual breakdowns," Poulin said, noting the Leafs still have "a good hockey team and weve played really well at points" and just need "to win a hockey game and get a little momentum." Asked whether the Torontos collapse could have been predicted due to their poor defensive play -- most notably with their issues related to shot differential and possession numbers -- Poulin remained skeptical, saying that despite playing better during the losing streak, they simply havent gotten any results. "I dont think it is,&" Poulin said, backing up his comments by saying he thought teams were shooting more on the Leafs because they know the team gives up a high number of shots.

. In reference to whether he thought the teams leadership should be called into question considering veteran players like Tyler Bozak, Joffrey Lupul, Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf have been present for what could be the third straight year Toronto has finished the season on the heels of a disastrous collapse, Poulin said management, "may have to very well evaluate it," but thought this season is an outlier. "I dont see a similarity between a seventh game and three-to-four minutes in the last stretch of the game to an eight game losing streak." Poulin said when asked about the comparison between this years team and Torontos three-goal meltdown in the third period of Game 7 versus the Bruins. In terms of the criticism Dion Phaneuf has received, Poulin said the team needs to build around the Leaf captain. "We evaluate it, but we also try to build around him," Poulin said, relating Phaneufs situation to his own career in Philadelphia.

WHEN it's snowing and blowing outside, people start dreaming of places that are sunny and warm. A place of eternal spring is the ``new'' French Riviera, the C^ote Varoise. That's the Mediterranean coast between Marseille to the south and the D'epartement des Alpes Maritimes -- the ``old'' French Riviera -- to the north.
Everything that attracted people to the old French Riviera (Menton, Monte Carlo, Beaulieu, Nice, Antibes, Juan les Pins, Cannes) is also found on the C^ote Varoise -- warm, sunny climate all year, blue skies, blue sea, white beaches, cliffs, rolling hills, palms, flowering shrubs, picturesque villages, easygoing people. But the old French Riviera attracted too many people: To accommodate mass tourism more roads, more shops, more casinos, more pensions (guest houses), more condominiums, many
more and much bigger hotels were built; it got very crowded.
Fortunately, the new C^ote Varoise is built to the human scale. While Nice has 275 hotels and pensions, the largest resort in the ``new'' south, St. Raphael, has only 51. Loew's Monte Carlo has 680 rooms, the biggest hotel in the D'epartement du Var has only 230, and most hotels on the C^ote Varoise are small -- 20 to 55 rooms. You can easily imagine the difference in atmosphere and in life style that comes with the difference in scale. The small resorts form a surviving corner of la douce France `ou il
fait bon vivre (gentle France where the living is easy).
You can get up early in the morning, when it's misty and quiet, and watch the fishermen bring in the catch; you can take walks in the lovely green countryside; you can amble from stall to stall in a small market square that looks like a stage set for 19th-century opera; you can sit in a sidewalk caf'e, surrounded by animated games of belote (the French national card game), watch some earnest players of p'etanque -- a French version of bowls, played outside, in which you try to hit the cochonnet (jack); or you can just watch the world go by.
There's history and art here -- but not of the kind that wears you out sightseeing. You can go for the day to Marseille, France's second city and the oldest in Western Europe (settled 800 BC). Fr'ejus has Roman ruins. For people who love ships, there is Toulon, the famous home port of the French Mediterranean fleet. There's large St. Raphael (near the ``old'' Riviera), where French and American troops landed on Aug. 15, 1944. Hy`eres was a port in the Middle Ages; tucked into the ramparts of its f eudal castle is a more recent ch^ateau, the Castel St. Claire, where paying guests live a feudal life enriched with park and swimming pool. There's a museum in St. Tropez, and there are art galleries and workshops of artists and craftsmen (glass, ceramics, weaving) that you can visit.
For the sedentary there are concerts, bridge clubs, and libraries. Sporty types go in for golf, tennis, squash, Ping-Pong, horseback riding, martial arts, auto racing on the nearby Circuit Ricard. And, of course, there is swimming, sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, and the C^ote Varoise is well known for its underwater activities.
The small resort town of Bandol is the cradle of sport diving. Here in 1945 the diving pioneer Jacques Yves Cousteau and his engineer-collaborator, Emile Gagnan, presented their invention to the world: the regulator, the breathing apparatus that made scuba diving possible. Sport diving is now very important in the area. Because land development has not gone too far, the sea is not as polluted here as it is in more built-up areas, so there is much to see underwater around several small islands. And there are good diving facilities: the Centre international de plong'ee, a highly regarded diving school (with an American instructor) on the island of Bendor, only seven minutes by boat from Bandol. The Fondation oc'eanographique Ricard (on the nearby island of Les Embiez), which is a marine research station that does interesting experiments, monitors pollution and gives diving and marine biology courses. Your guide through its aquariums showing all the creatures of the Mediterrane an may well be Alain Bombard, the d'el'egu'e g'en'eral, a genial bearded man who has crossed the Atlantic alone -- 113 days, Monte Carlo to Barbados -- in an inflatable dinghy.
Then there is the diving base at Le Lavandou, a pretty beach resort. From there you can go on an inexpensive cruise along the coast and to the nearby islands du Levant, de Port Cros (beautiful underwater nature reserve) de Porquerolles, and to Corsica. If you charter a boat for a small group of divers and/or cruise guests (price of fuel and service of crew/cook included in charter fee), a one- or two-week cruise may cost less than a hotel vacation. Other beach and diving resorts are Hy`eres (relatively large) and Les Issembres.
When I was last in the area, in October, air and water were warm, the sun shone every day, the countryside was full of greenery and blossoms. I stayed on the island of Bendor in blissful peace and quiet -- no cars on the island. You don't need cars here -- everything is within walking distance.
There are only four hotels, all different and attractive, and some storybook houses at the tiny harbor. I stayed at the Hotel Delos, on a rocky point of the coast where the tall windows of the dining room looked out to the sea on three sides. Each of the guest rooms was furnished in a different historic style, mine was French Empire, the style of Napoleon's short years of glory, 1804-1814.
Other pleasant resorts are Port Grimaud, with a particularly pretty port de plaisance (yacht harbor), Sanary and St. Maxime, where quite a few Parisians have their r'esidences secondaires (vacation homes), and St. Tropez.
The name St. Tropez will probably ring a bell. The French movie actress -- and great defender of baby seals -- Brigitte Bardot bought property there and was followed by caf'e society and by thousands who hoped to catch a glimpse of the famous and the glamorous. But lately it has become chic to live in your own place in the country, rather than in a huge hotel, so St. Tropez -- formerly a sleepy fishing port -- is a very popular resort but not too big. What may strike the foreign visitor is the many topl ess sunbathers on the beach (seen in many European resorts these days), and the number of dogs frolicking in the sand and in the water.
