Preferred files are Adobe Photoshop (.psd) or Gimp (.xcf). Additionaly we need the logo as vector-graphics-file.
We want to use the new logo on our website, on business cards, on flyers,T-Shirts, press releases and so on.
If possible, the logo should be designed to recognize us as a firebrigade department, however we are aware this may be difficult with ourgiven restrictions. Maybe you have a good idea?!

- The logoshouldhave a recognition value
- The logo should look reputable and not "freaky"
- The logo should be designed coloured but has also to be distinguishable when printing it in black-white

Frozen Tundra Expected for Sunday's Packers-49ers Game at Lambeau Field
Green Bay's Lambeau Field is called the Frozen Tundra for a reason, and on Sunday, it will certainly earn that title.
Late Sunday afternoon when the Green Bay Packers host the San Francisco 49ers at Lambeau Field, the high is two degrees, while the low is minus-20 degrees. The biggest factor may be the wind, as a 14 MPH Northwest wind will make it feel very cold.
Back in 2008 in the NFC Championship Game, it was minus-one when the New York Giants beat Green Bay at Lambeau Field.
The coldest game on record was in 1967 for the "Ice Bowl" at Lambeau Field between the Packers and Dallas Cowboys. The temperature was minus-13, and the wind chill made it feel like minus-48. The Packers beat the Cowboys, 21-17 in that game.
For Sunday's game, the Packers had trouble selling tickets, but as of today (Friday), the game was finally sold out. The Packers have had 319 consecutive sellouts .
Game time is set for 3:40 EST at Lambeau Field for the Packers and 49ers.

Greetings from Mo-Town. The big story in town is the Lions are trying to win two games in a row for the first time since the advent of the forward pass. Everyone's picking the Lions because they're at home and the Bears haven't exactly done anything on the road. They've lost 11 straight. So that's what everyone's talking about. This and Kid Rock's new album.
This stadium is very cool. It's kind of a cross between an old industrial space and the field house at Evanston Township High School. I hope they're not going to make me do the 9-minute run, especially after the pulled pork sandwich they fed us for breakfast. I guess they like their BBQ here. I don't know.
One complaint, though: Ford Field is more secure than the Baghdad airport. "Sir, can you turn your laptop on for me?" "Sir, your cell phone...press 1, 2, 3, please." "Sir, no water in the stadium." No water? This is the Lions and Bears, for God's sake; they should be--could be--giving away these tickets.
On a football note, Marty Booker and Anthony Thomas are back. If you remember they were missing for the first Lions game two weeks ago. Also, center Olin Kreutz will play. I don't think there was ever any doubt.
For the Lions, they're still missing much of their secondary. Both Dré Bly and Jimmy Wyrick are out. In case you're wondering about the other guy on the Detroit roster with an accent egue on his name, linebacker Donté Curry is out as well.
OK, now that the BBQ pulled pork sandwich they fed us for breakfast has digested, it's time for football.
First quarter
"Dee-troit has won the toss," referee Bernie Kukar says, and we're ready to go. Hey, a Bryan Knight appearance. The former starting outside linebacker nails Reggie Swinton on the kickoff coverage. The Lions will start on their own 26. Joey Harrington over-throws his receiver on first down. Az-Zahir Hakim jumps on second down followed by a Lions timeout. Detroit looks a lot like they did two weeks ago. Much booing early. Jerry Azumah shows blitz and then drops back. Harrington hits Cory Schlesinger out of the backfield and Azumah races in to make the tackle. The Lions are called for holding on third down and will kick. The PA guy announces "Paul Edinger deep for the Bears." Uh... McQuarters returns the kick 6 yards and the Bears will start at their own 39.
The Bears start with five wide, and then run some quasi-shenanigans, trying to hit Booker out of the slot a yard off the line. Chandler's pass goes high and that's that. Chandler then hits David Terrell for 8 yards. On third-and-2 Dustin Lyman lets a pass go off his hands and that series took all of about 10 seconds. Lyman is down.
They just showed a guy on the big screen with a blow-up skeleton doll in a Chandler jersey with a noose around its neck. Once he saw he was on TV, the guy punched the doll for a good 30 seconds as the crowd cheered. The Lions are 2-6, dude. Dial it down.
Are TV timeouts getting longer? I wouldn't doubt it.
Shawn Bryson runs left before being knocked out of bounds by Mike Brown. Gain of a yard. Harrington hits Scotty Anderson with Brian Urlacher on his back. Harrington's pass is long, wide and out of play. The real battle here is whether either team can get a first down. Bad punt. Thirty-two yards bad.
Chandler drops back, sees nothing and decides to run. He quickly hits the turf after 2 yards. Smart move. Is Anthony Thomas active? Where is he? Well, now he's under a pile of Lions. No gain on Thomas' first carry. At least that leaves the clock running. We had played just over 3 minutes of game time in over 20 minutes or real time. Not good. Chandler's throw is incomplete, bringing up fourth and killing the clock again. Can't get enough of punts and TV timeouts. The first first down in this tilt should be followed immediately by a trumpet fanfare and a ceremony at midfield.
Harrington's pass is too long and then Lance Briggs throws Bryson out of bounds for a 3-yard loss. Stopping the clock again. Oh, some excitement. Harrington is pressured but dumps it to Bryson who picks up 12 yards and nearly a first. But not nearly enough. Punt. But first a delay-of-game penalty.
From the 26, Terrell catches a 6-yard pass, gets nailed and then stands there doing some kind of shimmy while Chandler yells at him to get back in the huddle. False start on the Bears. Chandler hits Booker who falls over for a gain of 2. Chandler looks and looks before the pocket collapses on him. Barrett Green is credited with the sack. Another punt and this one doesn't even make it to midfield.
Harrington looks downfield but has to dump it to someone named Casey Fitzsimmons for 8 yards. Olandis Gary is dumped behind the line by Urlacher et al. Harrington has all day and hits a wide-open Scotty Anderson for 27 yards to the 18. A first down! Or course, this calls for razzle-dazzle. The Lions run some sort of reverse to Swinton who looks to throw and finally does to avoid a sack. The Bears were called for holding on the play. What's the down and distance? I'm so confused. Harrington throws one incomplete and we've got second-and-10 at the 14. Bryson catches a pass but is dropped for a 2-yard loss by Michael Haynes. Bryson picks up 9 but is stopped short of the marker by Bobby Gray. The crowd went something like "Oooooohhhhhh......awwwww #$*@!" on that play. Jason Hanson's 24-yard kick is good.
Lions 3, Bears nil
At this rate that field goal could hold up.
Thomas runs for 2 yards. Chandler hits Booker for 7. Third and short, whaddya got, Shoop? From the I-formation, Thomas runs right but there's a flag for holding on big ol' Aaron Gibson. That's a killer right there. Quarter ends mercifully.
Second quarter
Where were we? Detroit? OK, third-and-11. Wait, there was a penalty on the Lions. They give back 5 of the yards Gibson cost the Bears. Third-and-6 now. Chandler finds Lyman for a first down, the Bears' first. Thomas finds a big hole and gets into the open field for 17 yards. Two straight firsts! Then Chandler throws two balls that could've been picked off, the second by Bryan Walker, who's got his entire name on the back of his jersey. I guess not to be confused with the other safety, Bracy Walker. Too many guys in the in the huddle and the Bears are going backwards again. Chandler hits Justin Gage for 16 yards and a first. They're back around the 30-yard line. Thomas can't get around the corner and is dropped behind the line by Boss Bailey. Chandler tosses another one into traffic. Rabih Abdullah gets 7 back and Edigner will try one from 43. Right down the middle and the Bears draw even.
Bears 3, Lions 3
Avon Cobourne picks up a few. Bryson picks up a few. Bill Schroeder drops a pass on third down. The fans boo. Punt. No, a fake! Punter Nick Harrison lofts one up for Byrson. But he's slammed to the turf by Gray and the ball comes out. Incomplete. The Bears take over in good shape at the Detroit 38.
Chandler takes a two-step drop and flings one to Dez White, who's tackled immediately. Play got 5. Thomas has nothing in front of him and is brought down at the line. Chandler lofts one to White, who clearly pushed off on Terrence Holt. White continues his questionable play. Desmond Clark grabs a pass and gets 12 yards back. Edinger will try from 48. It's blocked and the ball bounces into the end zone.
Bracy Walker hurt his hand on that fake punt and may not return, which helps because I kept getting him confused with whatshisface, Bryan Walker.
Avon "Next stop North and" Cobourne runs for a few. Harrington then hits, um, someone, for a first. Then finds Fitzsimmons for another first, 17 yards down the field. Harrington takes a shot at Anderson in the end zone but it's just over-thrown. Azumah got a little touchy-feely there and the crowd wants a flag for interference. Bryson runs for a few now. Geez, how many backs do these guys have? Ball's on the Bears' 31, by the way. Swinton picks up a first, gets up, spikes the ball and does a little David Terrell like shimmy. Please. Ball now on the 15 and Harrington has to throw it to the sideline. Heads up, photag! Cobourne falls over after taking the handoff and everyone in the press box laughs. Harrington hits Az-Hakim, who shakes Gray. Anyway, the Lions kick a field goal. Zzzzzzzzzzzz......
Lions 6, Bears 3
If you're joining us late and you love punts and field goals and hate first downs, you've missed a great game. Many people filling the aisles to get a jump on the beer line or bathroom line or both. I wouldn't blame them if they didn't come back.
Azumah gets a good return out to midfield. Chandler then finds White for 13 yards and that takes us to the two-minute warning. Consider yourself warned: There are two-minutes left in this half. If it catches you by surprise, it's your own fault. Booker is hit immediately after catching a 4-yard dump. Abdullah is dropped in the backfield at the 40. Bears call timeout and gather the brain trust.
Booker can't handle Chandler's pass and Brad Maynard trots on to punt the ball away. Great punt. It's downed inside the 5 by Hunter Hillenmeyer. Detroit runs the ball and the Bears don't call timeout. Why not call timeout? We'll never know That's the game, folks. Great one. Instant classic. I'm out of here. Halftime? Damn.
After the numerous media buffets this season, I may be set on sausages for life. Please pass the Prilosec.
Third quarter
Oh, the game started. After a minor scuffle involving Desmond Clark, Thomas runs for a few to bring up third-and-2. Football really needs to work on its fights. They lack behind hockey, baseball and even basketball. Chandler's third-down pass falls incomplete and let's get this half off the right way: with a punt.
All of a sudden Alex Brown is all over the joint. He makes a tackle, forces a fumble (which Detroit recovered) and bats down a Harrington pass on third down. Have we set a record for punts yet? Now they're saying the fumble was really a sack. Credit Brown. Hope Greg Blache doesn't bench him for that.
The Bears start at midfield on the blue Lion silhouette. Thomas runs for 3 and then 7 which equals third-and-1. Thomas picks up 5 more and then 1 more. Chandler hits Booker on a short slant and Booker has open field in front of him. Twenty-three yards and a first. Thomas gets nothing. I'd be remiss not to tell you the ball's on the 12. Chandler throws one over Stanley Pritchett's head. Stanley Pritchett in the red zone. No offense, but forget this guy. Chandler looks and looks and then rifles one to Clark for a touchdown. Nicely thrown ball there. Bears lead for the first time.
Bears 10, Lions 6
Swinton returns Edinger's kick 25 yards to the 39. Harrington hits Scotty Anderson for 17 yards across midfield. And then finds Anderson again who runs in the open field down to the 18. The Lions stall in the red zone, though, as Brown gets to Harrington on third down. The ball flies up in the air, but falls to the turf. The Lions will kick a field goal, which is good.
Bears 10, Lions 9
Azumah makes another nice return. Thomas runs twice, setting up third-and-5. The Lions jump and that's a first. Much booing. But not sustained booing, like, "Yeah, yeah, we know we're supposed to boo but it gets too taxing." Thomas is tripped up on a counter.
Third-and-10, Chandler throws to Booker over the middle but Corey Harris is there early. No flag from the side judge but here comes one from way deep. Correct call. End of the third.
Fourth quarter
Chandler hits Pritchett for a first down at the Lions 32. Thomas gains a yard. Clark makes a catch on third down and the Bears are a yard shy of the first at the 23. Big third-down play here. Bears call timeout. They give it to Thomas straight ahead and he's short. Edinger misses the field goal from 41 yards. Wide left. Wow, his second miss of the day. Huge. That third-down play was the key.
OK, major technical difficulties with my laptop and the cappuccino machine in the food room during that last Bears drive. I apologize. All you need to know is Paul Edinger's 41-yard field goal was wide left, much to the delight of the guy in the fuzzy lion suit. He went nuts. My colleague Chris King subbed on that last paragraph. I thank him.
The Lions got the ball back, drove a little bit, getting their fans into it before yanking the field-turf carpet out from under them with a punt. A 29-yard punt. That punt was worse than this coffee. That's just like the Lions. As Winston Churchill once said, "If this is coffee, bring me tea. If this is tea, bring me coffee."
The Bears get the ball deep, deep in their own territory and can't do diddly. Chandler is sacked for an 11-yard loss to bring up third-and-19. A draw play and then a punt. Have we set the record for punts yet? Block in the back on the punt and the Lions will start at the 28.
I just figured out why all these classic rock tunes they keep blaring sound a little strange. David Lee Roth sounds really off. It's because they're being played by a live band in the corner of the end zone. "There's a fire in the hole! Hey, hey, hey!"
So the Lions get the ball and do even worse than the Bears. Like the Bears they punt. It's nearly blocked by Justin Gage. Is that even how that song goes? This coffee just gets worse over time. Kind of like this game.
Couple of firsts and the Bears may be able to ice this. Three and a half minutes on the clock and Thomas runs for nada. Chandler then hits Clark for 7. Another third down. This one's big, folks. Chandler's pass isn't close to Clark and so much for my little plan.
Harrington throws a nice ball to Az-Hakim for 18 yards. Harrington then hits Bryson for 8 more down to the 39. Two-minute warning. Seriously they should've warned people entering the stadium today. "Warning: Two bad football teams inside." Fitzsimmons catches soemthign that looks oddly like the Bears wide-receiver screen. He stretches for the first. The Bears will lose on a field goal. I can see it driving up whatever street this stadium is on. "Timeout Deee-troit." Take five, guys. The end zone band's play list apparently doesn't contain any Kid Rock. Or maybe they don't want to desicrate the work of Detroit's favorite son. Actually I'm not sure where he ranks next to Eminem. They went from Mo-town to those two guys? Harrington hits Schlesinger to bring up a third-and-3 at the 30. From the shotgun, Harrington over-throws Az-Hakim. How does this guy's name work, anyway. Hanson on for a 48-yarder. They sure love their field goals here in Detroit because they went nuts after that one. It gives the Lions the lead.
Lions 12, Bears 10
Here we go, 39 seconds on the clock, the Lions keep it on the ground and Joe Tafoya rumbles 12 yards with the ball to the 42. Wonder when the last time he ran with the ball was. "Timeout, Dee-troit." I'll bet you money this ref pronounces cement "cee-ment." Chandler's pass is behind Gage and it's picked off by Harris. Wow, talk about not letting it get exciting at all. The first play. Refs want to take a look at this one. Maybe the ball hit the ground. Maybe not. Either way, this crowd is out of here. Play stands and the 10 people still here stand and applaud.
That's it. Knee city. The Bears have lost 12 straight road games. The Lions have won two straight. Spare the taxicabs, citizens of Detroit.
Thanks for reading, everyone. More "fun" next week back in Chicago.

Hathaway Scholarships Provide Incentive To Students
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Statistics show that the Hathaway Scholarship is giving Wyoming junior high and high school students incentive to perform better in the classroom.
Mike Massie is special assistant to the University of Wyoming president. He presented figures to a legislative committee Tuesday in Riverton showing that more students entering UW are receiving the honors scholarship award.
Massie says that means they are doing their best in junior high and high school to access the highest level of financial support available to them.
The Hathaway Scholarship is available to Wyoming residents who have attended colleges in the state since 2006. It offers four levels of scholarship awards.
Freshmen students can receive up to $3,200 a year from the program, depending on their high school grades, test scores and high school curriculum.

You'll explore current thoughts on spaying and neutering, and how to deal with the very emotional issues of euthanasia, pet loss, and how best to assist clients in a time of need.
Special lessons will target specific aspects of veterinary assistant duties. Did you know that a veterinary assistant needs to dispense medications just like a pharmacist? You'll learn how to interpret medical prescriptions that look like Greek scribbles to the untrained eye.
You'll also understand the hazards of working in a veterinary setting so that you can protect yourself from x-ray exposure, infections carried by animals, and potential damage from teeth and claws.
Veterinary hospitals are small businesses, not just places of medicine, so you will also gain a complete understanding of their economics - how income is generated and where it goes. You will also explore marketing and communication because they are essential factors in making a business successful.
Even if you are already employed in a veterinary hospital, you will find this course invaluable in helping you understand the reasoning behind decisions and recommendations made by veterinarians. And if you're a pet owner, this course will help you better assess the quality of veterinary care your pets receive.
Jeff Grognet has been a companion animal veterinarian for 25 years. He was a pioneer in the field of veterinary assistant teaching, developing his first course almost 20 years ago. The overwhelming success of his veterinary receptionist/assistant college courses led him to expand his teaching into other areas in high demand, including pet first aid and alternative medical therapies for companion animals. He practices with his wife at a Veterinary Hospital in BC, Canada. Jeff has published a large and diverse number of articles and is a regular contributing author to several magazines.

The Black AIDS Institute is launching a new program that expands the Black Treatment Advocates Network (BTAN). Until recently, BTAN has been a program for advocates in select cities. The new program will make BTAN accessible in all regions of the United States.
As an HIV/AIDS stakeholder, you are connected to professionals that we are determined to engage in the National Black Treatment Advocates Network (BTAN).
The National BTAN works to improve HIV care and treatment for African Americans through training, networking, and mobilizing to address the disproportionate impact HIV/AIDS has on Black communities. The National Network works to strengthen leadership, both locally and nationally, by connecting influential peers, raising HIV science and treatment literacy, and advocating for policy change and research priorities.
BTAN membership begins with the review of training materials, and the passing of an assessment on HIV science, prevention, and treatment. Members then begin working on one committee and one working group, by participating in two conference calls per month. Membership is open to everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, age, or profession.
If you or someone you know would like to get involved in the National Network, they should do the following:
- Fill out an application at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BTANapplication
- After you apply, you will get an email from firstname.lastname@example.com with the entry assessment study materials
- Study entry assessment powerpoint presentations on HIV/AIDS Science and National BTAN committees/working groups
- Take the entry assessment at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BTANassessment

FAMILY HISTORY GOES MOBILE WITH NEW APP FOR iPHONE, iPAD AND iPOD
New 'Ancestry.co.uk Mobile' iOS app gives users access billions of historical records to build their family tree on-the-go
Ancestry.co.uk, the UK's favourite family history website, has announced the availability of its new mobile app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, with features designed to enable more rewarding discoveries as users build, update and share their family trees.
The Ancestry Mobile app, which has been downloaded globally more than 1.7 million times, is now available for free from the Apple App Store.
This upgrade adds three new features:
* 'In-app purchasing,' which allows non-Ancestry.co.uk subscribers to view, then buy fascinating historical records about their ancestors – such as World War I Medal Index Cards, Census records, birth/marriage/death certificates and school yearbook photos, from among billions of historical documents in the Ancestry.co.uk collection
* A 'Shaky Leaf' hinting feature that employs predictive analytics to suggest possible new connections between a user's family tree and undiscovered documents in the world's largest online family history collection
* A new merge feature, which automatically identifies and extracts information about family members from historical records so users can quickly and easily update their family tree
For users new to Ancestry.co.uk, the latest iOS app provides an easy way to get started by giving access to relevant historical documents on the site without a subscription. For existing Ancestry.co.uk members, the new app enables them to grow their tree using records on the site and share them with others while on the go.
The Ancestry.co.uk mobile app offers many of the most popular features available in the online version of Ancestry.co.uk's industry-leading family history website, including the ability to add and edit family information, view and share documents and photos, take and attach photos and create and navigate multi-generational family trees.
To get started, download the free Ancestry.co.uk mobile app to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and either register for a new, or log in to an existing Ancestry.co.uk account and choose a family tree.
Ancestry.co.uk subscribers can download family history records in the app free of charge. Non-subscribers pay a special introductory price of between £0.69 – £1.49 for each record purchased through the app's 'in-app purchase' feature.
Ancestry.co.uk International Commerce & Business Development Director Angela Crouch comments: 'Our goal with the new Ancestry.co.uk mobile app is to enable more people to discover their family history through our billions of historic records, and allow them to share their findings easily with others.
'"Our 'Shaky Leaf" hinting feature has resulted in tens of millions of successful family history discoveries online and it's now accessible to our growing mobile user base."

To be honest, I'd be more impressed if they made the programme run from a USB stick like RootsMagic does. That would be a lot more useful to most folks than a gizmo for the latest expensive mobile phone.

Richard Landes, a medieval historian at Boston University, takes to the pages of the Wall Street Journal to demonstrate that Mitt Romney was right to focus on the cultural dimension of Israel's economic growth and of Palestinian drift. Landes is the son of David Landes, the former Harvard professor on whom Romney relies, in part, for his views about the importance of culture in the economic realm.
Richard Landes explains:
Israel, a country with no natural resources, an economic backwater even in the Ottoman Empire, rose to the top of the developed world in a century on culture alone. The Arab nations, on the other hand, illustrate the necessity of a certain kind of culture: Even those with vast petrodollars still have among the least productive economies in the world. . . .
[T]here are cultures whose favored mode is not voluntary but coerced and zero-sum relations, where the principle of "rule or be ruled" dominates political and economic life. The elites in such cultures hold hard work in contempt, and they distrust intellectual openness and uncontrolled innovation as subversive. They emphasize rote learning and unquestioning respect for those in authority. Protection rackets rather than law enforcement assure the public order and bleed the economy. Public criticism brings sharp retaliation. Powerful actors acquire wealth by taking, rather than making.
Few cultures on the planet better illustrate the latter traits than the Arab world, a fact outlined in painful detail by a 2002 United Nations report written by Arab intellectuals. As "The Wealth and Poverty of Nations" [the book by David Landes] points out, Arab culture intensifies these problems with its attitude of hyper-jealousy and misogyny toward women, which turns out entitled sons and cloistered daughters.
Even the huge influx of petrodollars did not change the basic contours of Arab economies: Rather than fueling economic development that benefited all, it bloated corrupt and opaque elites. Oil-rich countries like Libya and Iraq have social structures akin to those of oil-bereft Egypt and Syria. Change may occur, but it is hindered by an authoritarian culture that fears it. Such societies impoverish the masses, while elites thrive on their debasement.
As I noted in an earlier post on this subject, Palestinians actually perform more impressively in the economic realm than Arabs generally. Landes links this to culture and, in particular, the fact that Israeli culture has rubbed off on Palestinians to some degree:
Strikingly, Palestinian culture compares favorably with that of other Arabs. Palestinians have higher education, a strong work ethic and successful entrepreneurs. Much of that comes from their close association with the Zionists, who (unlike Western imperialists) settled the land without conquest, by dint of making everyone more prosperous.
From the late 19th century, Arab populations grew and prospered where Jews settled (Tel Aviv, Hebron, Jerusalem) and remained stagnant and poor where they didn't (Gaza, Nablus, Nazareth). Many Arabs found the presence of Jews a great advantage. Thus the Palestinian diaspora is among the best-educated and most competent in the Arab world—and under Israeli rule (the notorious "occupation") the West Bank was one of the 10 fastest-growing economies in the world in the 1980s.
Other Palestinians, however, found Jewish economic leadership an unbearable blow to their pride. Said one to the British Peel Commission in 1936: "You say we are better off: you say my house has been enriched by the strangers who have entered it. But it is my house, and I did not invite the strangers in, or ask them to enrich it, and I do not care how poor it is if I am only master of it."
Sooner rule in hell than share in heaven. These actors have dominated Palestinian political culture, and terrorized Israeli and Palestinian alike, for generations.
It is sad to think that the mainstream media chose to ignore this reality for the purpose of attempting to argue that Mitt Romney doesn't understand the Middle East. But the truth may be sadder still: the mainstream media is so reflexively pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel that it actually believes Romney got it wrong when he called out the self-destructive Palestinian culture.

The 2013 Summer Shred Guide
This part of the year is always bitter sweet. Sure it's getting warmer, people are coming out of their winter hibernation state, there's flowers, you can go skateboarding, but it's also the time of the year when the resorts start shutting down the lifts. So how are you going to get your shred fix on for the next six months? Are you just going to sit around and day dream about catching air? Well you can do that, or you can be proactive about it and get yourself to a summer shred camp. The camps we have listed here are in North and South America, but if you live in Europe, fret not because there are glaciers there too!
1. Windells
Windells totally kicks ass. They are situated on beautiful Mt. Hood, where, as you read this, there's a ton of snow! Windells makes one hell of a snowboard park. There are countless rails, jumps of every size, and a superpipe. But one of the best things about Windells is how often they switch up their park. If you get bored riding their park (which would be insane, but if you do…) they switch it all up every few days. And if you happen to be at Windells for multiple sessions the park you started riding day one will look nothing like the park on your final day of your stay.
Also, if you like skateboarding Windells is totally the spot. The park that they have there is unlike any other. We could describe it, but it wouldn't do it justice. You have to see it to believe it.
Length: 7 or 8 day sessions, depending on how early in the summer you go. Camp runs from 6/6-8/21
Price: $1,899-$2,069.00. depending on when in the summer you choose to go.
Max campers per session: 250
Killer Coaches: Johnny Lazz, Brandon Cocard, Mary Rand
2. High Cascade Snowboard Camp
High Cascade is the only 100% snowboard camp. So if you don't want to share any lips with skiers, this is your spot. High Cascade features two private snowboard parks-one serviced by a chairlift, the other by a tow rope. There's also a tow rope for the superpipe, so you really never have to hike, unless of course you want to. Did we mention there's a shit ton of snow up at Mt. Hood right now? Because there is. So if you're worried about there not being enough snow for you to shred on when you get there, don't worry…at all.
High Cascade is your place to go if you want to ride features from Bear Mountain, Seven Springs, and Loon, all in one place, and it's halfpipe is cut by the same guys who cut the Olympic halfpipe. And this summer you will be able to see all the guys who are trying to make the Olympics ride right in front of you, becasue they're going to be training at High Cascade all summer long.
Every session at High Cascade had a different Signature Session featuring some of the top pros, including: Bode Merrill, Pat Moore, Hana Beaman, Scott Stevens, Chris Grenier, Mike Rav, and many, many more.
Length:8-day sessions going from June 15–August 12
Price: $1,995.00 for the lodge $2,095 for chalet
Max Campers per Session: 235
Killer Coaches: Johnny O'Connor, Sammy Spiteri, Andrew Alridge, Jesse Gouvia ( Sammy, Andrew and Jesse are counselors, but they're still killer.)
3. Camp of Champions
COC slays summer camping in Whistler. When you come to COC, you are in the center of the Whsitler Village. The Camp of Champions packs so many, jibs, jumps, rails, hits, Big Air Bags and features into their park it's ridiculous. Mark McMorris, Torstein Horgmo, Stale Sandbech, Seb Toots, and Maxence Parrot call it home for the summer… and you know how good their winters were, they won pretty much every event. The US, Canadian and Norwegian National Slopestyle Teams all have selected COC as their place to train for the summer, in order to get ready for the 2014 Olympics.
COC isn't all about superstar shreds, it also has amazing beginner and intermediate parks. With hands on, one-on-one coaching from some of the biggest names and also from the best up and coming pros you'll feel like you are filling your bag of tricks with both hands.
Campers stay in luxury too. The Holiday Inn is their new home right in the heart of Whistler. The skatepark is across the street, mini golf is a block away one way, The driving range a block the other way, Starbucks, Earl's Restaurant and Mongolie Grill and the movie theater are right downstairs. Bungee Jumping, paintball and Bounce Trampoline Academy and two lakes are a couple minutes away. Whether you are under 19 or over 19, you will have the best time ever at COC, there is nothing like it.
Length: 5- to 8-day sessions, June 30–July 25
Price: Camp session start at $995
Max Campers per Session: 150
Killer Coaches: Mark Sollors, Alex Cantin, Jake Kuzyk
4. Woodward at Copper
Things are looking really good at Woodward at Copper for this summer. First of all there's more snow than ever.

Throughout the financial crisis, large debt loads weighed on company balance sheets and had serious implications for the firms that let their borrowing get out of control.
Other companies, however, have a history of operating with low debt levels, and many choose to issue no debt at all. Instead of debt, these companies hold cash and short-term, highly liquid assets in order to make acquisitions, run day-to-day operations and fund other investments for future growth.
According to the latest quarterly filings, only 24 companies in the S&P 500 reported having zero debt on their balance sheets. Of these companies, CNBC's analytics team selected the ones with the largest amount of cash and short-term investments as a percent of total assets.
So, which S&P 500 companies are debt free and cash rich? Click ahead to find out.
By Giovanny Moreano&Paul Toscano
Posted 24 July 2012
Note: Total debt includes the sum of short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term debt, current portion of capital leases, long-term debt, capital leases, current finance division debt and non-current finance division debt, but does not include all possible liabilities. Cash holdings do not include long-term investments.

Hello! I host games at my home Friday/Saturday/Sunday and recently lost a couple of players to a move. I'm seeking 1-3 gamers, preferably in their late 20's or older, to join our groups. We're serious roleplayers but enjoy our share of combat.
Friday has been our night for DC Adventures/Mutants & Masterminds 3e; that campaign is currently on hold, but we may start another or use a different system.
Saturday has been a Hunter: The Reckoning game and Sunday Vampire: The Masquerade.
We've played a variety of systems in the past; Pathfinder is our go-to system for fantasy RPGing.

Staff writer
Alice Johnson took the job as Florence's librarian in March because she loves books — she said that was her singular qualification.
She identifies with library regular Betty Fetrow. At 90, Fetrow will stop in at the library once a week and take at least five books off the shelves — sometimes it's as many as eight novels. She reads them all in one week's time and returns like clockwork each week, hungry for more. Occasionally Fetrow will ask if Johnson has read a particular book, to which Johnson usually responds, "No but you said it was good."
Keeping up with a prolific reader like Fetrow is easy enough — just make sure there is a ready supply of large-print mysteries available. The provider is the state book van, which drops off 350 books every two months.
A library in a small town serves other purposes than a supply of reading material. Brock Mitchell is another regular at the library, appearing daily to use one of the library's computers. For Mitchell, 10, the library provides access to the Internet. Recently, he was video chatting with a friend, an activity Johnson did not know was possible with the computer technology available. Mitchell briefly explained there was a camera located inside the laptop.
Johnson admits she has a lot to learn about the electronic side of running a library. What she knows is that the library's computers are out of date and failing. The library, existing on $10,000 a year from the state, cannot pay for the new equipment.
"I knew they were old," Johnson said. "I didn't know they would up and quit."
Johnson has teamed with Auntie M's Diner owner Mary Britton and manager Rene Starkey to raise money for new computers. Britton and Starkey created three intertwining promotions for the cause. The first is a poster featuring cartoon cattle in a corral. A cow is added for every $50 donation. The pen is complete with one bull, a $100 donation. There are also the rubber ducks perched on Auntie M's counter. Each duck is earned with a $3 donation. The ducks, used for "not ducking responsibility," have been a ploy by the Auntie M's crew to raise $1,606 for the pool and $100 in books for the library last summer.
Using the resources they have available, Britton and Starkey are also selling cookies and ice cream sandwiches for donations. All together, the promotions have raised $450 in about three week's time. Britton and Starkey are aiming for about $1,000. Established early in the fundraising process, Britton and Starkey have an agreement with an anonymous donor who will match the amount raised. Johnson has also looked into a state grant, which would also match the initial amount raised.
A different anonymous donor from Marion also donated an Apple laptop.
Johnson intends to use the funds raised to purchase at least two new computers. She wants to relieve demand for computers in the summer. She likes to have the library open in the morning before the pool opens at noon. Often children on summer vacation take advantage of available computer time before heading out into the sun.
The Florence library is celebrating its 90th Anniversary on Saturday, which is the same day Santa is visiting the Florence City Building.

The next step

Could Charlie Sharples get a call-up for the 2012 Six Nations? © Getty Images
Considering Martin Johnson's contract as England manager was left in the 'matters pending' file to be dealt with after the World Cup there was always a chance the Rugby Football Union would find themselves short of time to install his successor if one was needed. A better than even chance, I always felt, even when some had drawn the conclusion from Johnson's utterance of one single word "addictive" to describe the job a few months ago that he would be keen to carry on towards 2015. My gut feeling for most of this year was that he had recognised his limitations as England manager and that with a young family to worry about and no need financially or professionally - Johnson does not strike you obviously as a 'career coach' - to keep going it was no surprise to me he jacked the job in.
It may yet transpire that he was going to be sacked anyway, or that he has a job elsewhere to go to, or that he did simply look in the dressing-room mirror one day (perhaps at half-time after the most abject half hour or so I can remember from an England team, in the World Cup quarter-final against France) and recognised the inescapable truth.
Whatever the case, it was pretty soon in Auckland that in a desperate attempt by the RFU's outgoing acting chief executive Martyn Thomas to exercise the powers that were soon to be stripped away from him we had the idea of a temporary England coach floated to us. It got buried somewhat by the 'deadline' Thomas had given Johnson to resign or indicate his willingness to carry on; a deadline soon rubbed out although I retain an inkling that Thomas thought he was in safe ground having witnessed face to face Johnson's depressed demeanour after that France match.
Anyway, what matters is what England do next. When asked about this temporary coach idea, Thomas said that Ben Ryan (England's Sevens coach) was one of those capable of doing it if necessary. Certainly in the line-up touted this week by some newspapers - Stuart Lancaster, Graham Rowntree and Mike Ford - there's plenty of room for a backs/attack coach. Oddly, if Lancaster, the RFU's head of elite player development - though better known as head coach to the Saxons - had more kudos about him, there would be no need for debate about the head man. Lancaster could step in, nice and easily, appoint a backroom staff and get on with preparing for England's defence of the Six Nations Championship title.
That does not sound quite right, so unless a permanent alternative such as Northampton's Jim Mallinder jumps ship from their present position in quick order, it may be Lancaster in a caretaker capacity who has to name a re-jigged England senior squad of 32 at the start of January. This as far as I understand the elite player agreement (and neither it nor the club-country Long Form Agreement are public documents) will consist of making up to 10 changes on form (in a World Cup year; normally it is five) from the senior squad of last summer plus further replacements for any retired players such as Lewis Moody. So what can we expect if Lancaster is picking the team?
The backs should line up differently to the set-up of Brian Smith, who according to the rumour mill is now an ex-England attack coach. Smith attempted to give England what had worked with him for London Irish: a cerebral fly-half with a bunch of big, quick lads from 11 to 15. When one No.12 after another was either injured or deemed to be not up to scratch defensively, Smith and Johnson tried to persuade themselves and the rest of the world that Shontayne Hape was the answer. It will be interesting to see what happens to Hape in January because, in theory, if he is not suspended or injured on January 1 he should be in the squad. Or does his present ban count against him? It's probably in the EPS small print somewhere.
Lancaster's Saxons did not have much to beat in the Churchill Cup last summer when the England scrum featuring Matt Stevens was in good nick and forced a remarkable three penalty tries out of Tonga. I thought I identified a similarity between the Saxons' attacking pattern and that favoured by Gloucester, with Charlie Sharples used off his wing to make ground with his speed and sidestep. So you would expect Sharples to be promoted to the seniors in January and if England can make this style work - with a fast-breaking back row suitably integrated as support runners - we should see more of the likes of Ben Foden, Chris Ashton and Manu Tuilagi than we did at the World Cup. If it works it will be enjoyable to watch and I could see it being good enough behind a big pack to see off Scotland and Italy in the first two Six Nations matches, both away from home.
But there is a risk attached. There were plenty of Saxons tries in the Churchill Cup and their two matches earlier in the year but rather too many in the summer were salvaged rather than created, by balls picked up from bad passes, or by players scurrying round after a messed up move. Perhaps the better players in the senior squad will cut out those mistakes. They will need to because against better teams than Canada and Tonga the downside of operating a more broken field than England are used to will be the concession of a lot of points. Perhaps this new England will say - anathema to the Johnson orthodoxy - never mind: however many points you score, we'll score more. Try that for a popular Six Nations mantra!
Ben Youngs has written in his newspaper column recently that he didn't feel England played to the style to suit their backs at the World Cup. I can see his point but would also suggest that for whoever steps out at Murrayfield on February 4 2012 as England's new head coach the order of priority is as follows: (a) pick a style of play, (b) pick the players to play it and (c) pray to high heaven, they stay fit. Oh, we could also chuck in a (d) get on the right side of the directors and coaches at some clubs who behind the scenes are chirping in the players' ears about which side their bread's buttered on and that maybe England is not so important - but that is a subject for another day.

Look, my computer never fared well with Ubuntu's development releases, but this is getting silly. Can someone explain me how images of my windows desktop leak into the live cd environment of the latest Ubuntu Beta 2? Are they stuck in the video memory? Or RAM? Or what? Do forgive the crappy quality, my camera batteries decided they don't want to witness such horrors. :D Everytime I tried to open a window, different parts of my previous Windowsing session appeared instead. And mind you, they were not even the last things on screen when I rebooted, no, no, some of those windows happened hours before. What the actual F?

Distro Hoppin`: Blender-boot 1 Suzanne Beta 2
Distros, distros, distros... Glue a bunch of software together, add your favorite themes, name it "Frank OS" and that's it, you've got your own operating system. Obviously, I'm joking, I know it's quite a lot of effort that needs to be put into such a project. But, from a really high-up birds-eye view, they all can seem a bit... similar. Most of them are general purpose distros, aiming to please a large segment of users. Some focus on a smaller target, like audio artists, pre-school teachers or network administrators testing how penetration-prone are their setups.
...and then there is Blender-Boot, which is a whole OS wrapped around ONE application: the awesomely versatile Blender 3D content creation suite. The idea itself is enough to raise some eyebrows and gain a good amount of attention. But is it really necessary to have a separate OS for one purpose?
Well, if you always want the latest version of Blender delivered to you hassle-free (e.g. compiling), then yes, Blender-boot is a good choice. I think its main audience is formed of artists wanting to go open source and have little Linux experience. Just install it (which, being Ubuntu-based, is super easy) or ask someone else to do it and your computer will boot straight into the Blender suite, hence the name. Of course, puns are always a trait of Linux people, so this distro's developers couldn't refrain themselves from tapping into the other meaning of "boot". Thus, the logo and wallpapers revolve around a... shoe. But it's not just any shoe, it's one that has the familiar Blender eye on top of it and is, of course, orange.

Distro Hoppin`: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin"
Ooooh yes, it's that time of the year again, folks. It's time for the world to partition hard drives, create new virtual boxes, burn hundreds of CDs, format USB sticks and pillage every Windows OS they pass by. I've always loved the .04 Ubuntu releases more, not necessarily because they were better, but because they came with the spring, and I tend to like things more when it's warm outside.
2012 is a special year: the Precise Pangolin release will be supported for 5 years, on both desktops and servers, so if your business considered switching to Ubuntu, now is a great time to take that step. Also, it's cockchaffer year, a reason for massively increased joy levels and overall ADD manifestations in my cat. Obviously, I'm a tad more excited of the former event.

Google Drive Is Finally Here to Kick Some Dropbox Butt
UPDATE: Google Drive now comes with 15 GBs of free space (shared with Gmail and Picasa)! Your move, Dropbox!
Well, not as drastically as some expected, but it's still enough to get Dropbox worried. So, 5 GB free with the possibility to upgrade to 25 GB for $2.49 a month! Yep, not even 3 dollars. Oh, and that's not all. Hear this: 100 GBs for only $4.99!! Dropbox offers the same amount of storage for $19.99! Ouch!
Well, not as drastically as some expected, but it's still enough to get Dropbox worried. So, 5 GB free with the possibility to upgrade to 25 GB for $2.49 a month! Yep, not even 3 dollars. Oh, and that's not all. Hear this: 100 GBs for only $4.99!! Dropbox offers the same amount of storage for $19.99! Ouch!
For starters, the Google Drive client is NOT available on Linux (
Will I switch?
As I was part of the latest Dropbox beta testing program, I have 5.2 GBs at my disposal, out of which I currently use 43.8%. If things start to feel crowded, I'll definitely consider Google Drive. Until then, I'm pretty happy with the blue box. It works wonderfully across all platforms I access during the day and I love its features. Plus, I quite like it as a company too. Moreover, I'm sure that by the time I near the storage quota, the prices will drop significantly and I might not have to make the switch after all.
While current Dropbox users are not likely to stop using it in favor of Google Drive, new ones will surely notice the latter rather than the former first, given Google's omnipresence on the Internet. Of course, many will simply sign up for both and get a hefty amount of space for free.
Anyway, cloud storage for mass audiences will definitely be an interesting space to watch this year. Microsoft has also upped their offer with a whooping 7 GBs of free storage for new users, but they lack an Android and Linux clients, so their offer is of no interest to me. Also, there are full backup providers like Carbonite (less than $5/month - UNLIMITED storage) and SpiderOak ($10/month for 100 GBs) that seamlessly save your files, without you needing to manually move files to a certain folder.
All in all, we are the ones who will greatly benefit from this increased competition, so sit back, relax and watch your storage quota get bigger and bigger. ;)

A Quick & Dirty Mobile Remote Video Surveillance Solution
So you want to be able to watch your baby/cat/dog/house from your smartphone but don't have the time or the patience to setup a webcam server? The answer is TeamViewer, world's favorite remote support app. Install it on your Linux machine (I run it on the Ubuntu 12.04 beta), install it on your Android/iPhone (I set it up on a Samsung Galaxy Mini), open up Cheese or your favorite webcam viewer and start watching. If you're connected to a Wi-Fi network, you can crank up the quality for a really decent image quality/speed ratio.
Here's a poorly made video showing the process:
Yay poorly made video! Thanks for tuning in and I hope this will be of help for at least some peeps.

Artur brothers scandal returns to haunt top officials
Saturday November 13 2010
The scandal of the Artur brothers, the two alleged Armenians widely believed to be con men with high-level connections who briefly commanded attention on the streets of Nairobi in 2006, returns to haunt the government's inner circle next week.
This follows demands by MPs Gitobu Imanyara (Imenti Central) and Martha Karua (Gichugu) that two reports of investigations into the activities of the notorious duo be discussed in Parliament.
While Mr Imanyara wants to re-table a 2007 parliamentary report about the Armenian nationals, Ms Karua wants the government to present its hitherto top-secret findings in the report of the commission of inquiry that was chaired by former police commissioner Shedrach Kiruki.
Former Kabete MP Paul Muite, who chaired the parliamentary investigations into the Artur brothers, told the Sunday Nation that the House was well within its mandate to seek the inquiry reports.
Taxpayers' money
"The commissions of inquiries used taxpayers' money. Therefore the government owes the public the findings," said Mr Muite. "In the name of accountability and transparency in the new Constitution, the public has a right to know what is contained in that report."
He said this was a "new Kenya" and that the public retained the right to access information that they need and want.
The matter came up in Parliament on Thursday with Ms Karua demanding an answer from the Internal Security ministry. But the minister and his two assistants were not in the House.
The parliamentary report, which was tabled in 2007 but was never debated, indicts top government officials. If the report is re-tabled next week as expected and adopted by MPs, the country could see another round of political manoeuvres and demands for those implicated to take responsibility.
Furthermore, adoption of the report would shine a light on top government officials and their role in the scandal that exposed the country to international ridicule.
According to Parliament's report first tabled in September 27, 2007, the government has to answer the following questions: "What did it know about the Arturs? Who was protecting them in government? For what purposes was the Kiruki Commission established? Was it stage-managed for a cover-up?"
However, the report is explicit that the commission was an official cover-up and that it "never intended to unearth the truth".
The House will also want to know why the government has so far refused to make public the findings of the Kiruki Commission.
"All these issues have to be addressed in order to unearth the truth," notes the report, now part of Parliament's records.
The report alludes to evidence that the two foreigners were "con men and drug traffickers", who enjoyed the protection of "the high and mighty in government."
Environment minister John Michuki and Francis Muthaura, the Head of Civil Service are some of the top people named for further inquiry to establish their links with Artur Margaryan and Artur Sargasyan. Mr Michuki was in charge of internal security when the men were in Kenya in 2006.
Businessman Kamlesh Pattni, whose name keeps popping up in big scandals in the country, is also recommended for investigation.
Others named are Mary Wambui, her daughter Winnie Wangui Mwai and Stanley Murage, the former special adviser to President Kibaki.
Pattni's associate
Raju Sanghani, Mr Pattni's close business associate, is said to have provided his driver to act as a tour guide for the Arturs. Mr Sanghani is also said to have identified the Runda residence for the two after they rejected a previous offer of a residence in Lavington, which they said "was too open".
According to their driver Richard Nerima, the two went to State House to meet the President, but "they missed him".
They were asked to go back the following day. The driver later learnt that the Arturs "actually met with the President", the report says.
"After the meeting with the President, they were to go to Uganda," the driver told the joint House committee sittings in November 21, 2007. For their unhindered passage across the border, Mr Murage and the then Presidential Escort Commander were reportedly tasked with processing their passports.
The two also sought and got an appointment with Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka "one morning after the (2005) referendum". They wanted Mr Musyoka, a former Foreign Affairs minister, "to help them with contacts in the region".
The report says the Artur brothers met Mr Michuki at his Windsor Golf and Country Club in Nairobi "where they were taken by Mr Sanghani".
The infamous March 2, 2006 night raid at the Standard Group will also put Mr Michuki on the spot. This is because, despite closed-circuit-television cameras showing a man with "stunning resemblance to Artur Margaryan" leading the raid, Mr Michuki maintained that it was "a government operation".
The then director of the Criminal Investigation Department, Joseph Kamau, is also said to have been hobnobbing with the two. Mr Kamau was said to have been a regular visitor, first when the brothers stayed at the presidential suite at the former Grand Regency hotel and later in the parties they threw at night at their Runda residence.
The impunity with which Margaryan and Sargasyan went around the city, including denying police officers entry into their Runda residence — they had fierce dogs — is laid bare in the report.
The public was outraged, and many Kenyans, the report notes, demanded to know "who these individuals were and why their arrogance demonstrated high-level connection and protection and even contempt for Kenya and her people".
MPs will be debating the embarrassing incident after an assurance by the President this weekend that they should step up their oversight role, more so, to fight corruption.
The President was addressing ministers, their assistants and chairpersons of House committees on Friday at a retreat at Leisure Lodge in Kwale.
The legal definition of corruption is "bribery; fraud; embezzlement or misappropriation of public funds; abuse of office; breach of trust; or an offence involving dishonesty".
Other than the Arturs report, the House also wants to have a look at the Report of the Cockar Commission on the Sale of Grand Regency Hotel; the Report of Inquiry into the Raid on Retired Archbishop Gitari's House in Kirinyaga on April 21, 1999; the Report of the Akiwumi Commission of Inquiry into the Tribal Clashes and Report of the Chesoni Commission of Inquiry into Kirinyaga/Embu Land Dispute.

From Nairobi to Manila, mobile phones are changing the lives of bus riders
Every day around the world, millions of people rely on buses to get around. In many cities, these services carry the bulk of urban trips, especially in Africa and Latin America. They are known by many different names—matatus, dalalas, minibus taxis, colectivos, diablos rojos, micros, etc.—but all have one thing in common: they are either hardly regulated… or not regulated at all. Although buses play a critical role in the daily life of many urban dwellers, there are a variety of complaints that have spurred calls for improvement and reform. For users, the lack of information and visibility on services has been a fundamental concern. Having to pay separately for each ride disproportionately hurts the poor traveling from the periphery, who often have to catch several buses to reach the center. The vehicles are old and sometimes unsafe. Adding to concerns about safety, bus drivers compete with each other for passengers in what is known in Latin America as the "guerra del centavo" or "penny war". Non-users, planners, and city authorities also complain about the pollution and accidents caused by these drivers as well as the congestion generated by the 'wall of buses' on key city arterials.
To address these issues, cities have attempted to reform these informal bus services by setting up concession contracts and bring multiple bus owners and operators together under formal companies (refer to the attached note: Bus Reform in Developing Countries—Reflections on the Experience thus Far). But even though some of them have made great strides in revamping their bus services (particularly by implementing Bus Rapid Transit systems), the overall success of these attempts has been limited, and unregulated buses remain, in countless cities, a vital component of the urban transport ecosystem.
However, we are now witnessing a different, more organic kind of change that is disrupting the world of informal buses using ubiquitous cheap sensors and mobile technology.

Kiefer Sutherland isn't too pleased with the CBC
TORONTO — Stage and screen legend Shirley Douglas has the CBC in her cross hairs.
The 78-year-old actress says the public broadcaster is not doing enough to build up a homegrown star system.
Douglas bemoaned the state of Canada's entertainment industry before accepting a lifetime achievement award from the Toronto branch of Canada's performer's union, known as the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists.
She was escorted to the bash by her famous son Kiefer Sutherland, who also said more must be done to create a star system akin to Hollywood.
CBC personality Rick Mercer presented Douglas with the Award of Excellence in honour of a lifetime of acting and activism that included championing civil rights and public health-care.
Other winners included best actress Tatiana Maslany, who was recognized for her starring role in the indie coming-of-age feature "Picture Day," and best actor Shawn Doyle, who co-stars in the dramatic film "The Disappeared." Shannon Kook-Chun was named best voice performer for the animated short "Requiem for Romance."
Before taking the stage Saturday, Douglas said something needs to change within the Canadian TV industry, starting with the CBC.
"CBC is in my line of fire," said Douglas, best known to Canadians for playing May Bailey on the long-running CBC-TV series, "Wind at My Back."
"I just cannot believe that that company has not recognized that they need name recognition. And I used to be told long ago that one of the reasons they didn't is that they were afraid we would become well-known and then want more money. And I don't know what the reason is, but even to this day there's a poster for 'Heartland' with that poor woman standing there with the horse (and) miles of blue sky to write everyone's name on. You don't know even (know): Is it a car company? What is it?"
Douglas says the business has only gotten worse in the past 35 years she's been working here, noting that the CBC was producing 16 series when she first returned to Canada after living in Los Angeles.
She noted that funding woes have made it hard for the broadcaster to generate more homegrown series.
"I'm terribly terribly sad and angry," she said. "I'm just fed up that we can't do better."
Although he built his career in Hollywood, "24" star Sutherland says he's very mindful of the need to bolster Canada's industry.
"For the first five years of my career I was working back and forth between the United States and Canada. The 'Bay Boy' was the first film I got to do, I would come back and do plays, do theatre here," said Sutherland, who co-starred with his mother in a co-production of "The Glass Menagerie" with the National Arts Centre and the Royal Alexander Theatre in Toronto in 1997.
"I've loved coming back here to work over the course of my career."
That includes working with Norman Jewison's Canadian Film Centre to mentor young actors, directors and writers.
He said initiatives like that are important "to create work for them here in Canada that will allow them to stay and create a sense of recognizability that will allow audiences, not only from Canada but from around the world, to identify those actors and identify their work in the kind of star structure that you have in the United States."
Sutherland admits he didn't get much advice from his mother on career direction but did say he consults her on how to approach specific roles.
"The calls she would get from me late at night would be: 'I've run into a scene and I have no idea what to do with it and what do you think about that?"' said Sutherland, whose father is Donald Sutherland.
"Certainly between my mother and my father, the experience that they have in the situations that they've had to deal with in the course of their career, I'd be foolish not to try and learn from that."
Douglas, who began her stage and television career in England and has tackled iconic roles in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," "Phaedra" and "The Stone Angel," said Canadian artists need more publicity.
"We need name recognition. There isn't a picture on a cover of a magazine in Canada by Canadians that has our people on it. And somebody has to change it unless they want everyone to leave. I'm never leaving, I'm here. Too old to be leaving anyway."
The annual ACTRA Awards recognize outstanding performances by ACTRA Toronto members.
ACTRA Toronto is the largest organization within ACTRA, representing more than 15,000 of Canada's 22,000 professional performers working in the English-language recorded media in Canada.

pros- it is a beautiful old house. probably some historic value to it. cons- it has not been well maintained over the years i currently rent an apartment at this location. the ceilings in one of the apt. is falling in. there are uncountable leaks. the basement apartment i was renting first is FULL of mold on and in side the walls and ceilings. the land lord has not tried to fix this problem which has lead to the fact it will have to be completely evaded to fix. there are other spots of mold i have found in the upstairs apt. i now rent. not to mention this house is a potential fire hazard. the laundry room has a leak the landlord will not fix despite the many calls she has acquired involving this issue. and there are many wires hanging loosely overhead in the laundry room in order to operate the washer and dryer. this was once one big house now divided into 4 apartments. there is one cable wire with many spliters that runs on the outside of the house and connects to each apt. loose wires that hang out of the wall in the storage room of the basement apartment (which also contains the hot water heater and furnace, just a couple steps away from wear you would sleep in said apt) circuits are flipped everyday because too many people live in one house and use so much electricity. so i am constantly running outside to turn my lights and fridge back on because somebody next door plugged in their vacuum or hair dryer. just about all the apartments have leaks from the roof. i am currently suffering from the dry wall and puddles of water that collect in my floor every time it rains. you would have to be crazy to think you could buy this house then fix it up for less then what you paid.See this property: 547 E 25TH ST, BUENA VISTA, VA
