2 What is swine flu? Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by Type A influenza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs. Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person-to-person, but in the past, this transmission was limited and not sustained beyond three people.
3 Is the current swine flu virus contagious? Various international agencies (US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, World Health Organization) have determined that this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is contagious and is spreading from human to human. WHO has escalated the world Pandemic Phase from Phase 3 to Phase 6 (in a 6-scale Phase), indicating that a worldwide pandemic due to swine flu H1N1.
4 What are the signs and symptoms of swine flu in people? p The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and dinclude fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. In the past, severe illness (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection in people. Like seasonal flu swine flu may Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions.
5 How does swine flu spread? Spread of this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with live flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.
6 How are human infections with swine influenza diagnosed? To diagnose swine influenza A infection, a respiratory specimen would generally need to be collected within the first 4 to 5 days of illness (when an infected person is most likely to be shedding virus). However, some persons, especially children, may shed virus for 10 days or longer. Identification as a swine flu influenza A virus requires sending the specimen to a hospital laboratory for testing.
7 How can someone with the flu infect someone else? Infected people may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 7 or more days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick.
8 How long can an infected person spread swine flu to others? People with swine influenza virus infection should be considered potentially contagious as long as they are symptomatic and possible for up to 7 days following illness onset. Children, especially younger children, might potentially be contagious for longer periods.
9 Is there a vaccine for Pandemic Flu? Because the virus is new, there will be no vaccine ready to protect against pandemic flu. Vaccine against Swine Flu virus H1N1 needs at least 6-12 months to be produced. d Seasonal flu vaccine or past flu immunization i will not provide protection. ti
10 Are there medicines to treat swine flu? Yes. The US CDC recommends the use of oseltamivir (Tamiflu ) or zanamivir (Relenza ) for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with these swine influenza viruses. Antiviral drugs are prescription medicines (pills, liquid or an inhaler) that fight against the flu by keeping flu viruses from reproducing in your body. If you get sick, antiviral drugs can make your illness milder and make you feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu complications. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started soon after getting sick (within 2 days of symptoms).
11 What surfaces are most likely to be sources of contamination? The virus can be spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with the virus and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth. Droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person move through the air. The virus can then be spread when a person touches respiratory droplets from another person on a surface like a desk, doorknob, child s toy or phone handset and then touches their own eyes, mouth or nose before washing their hands.
12 How long can viruses live outside the body? We know that some viruses and bacteria can live 2 hours or longer on surfaces like cafeteria tables, doorknobs, and desks. Frequent handwashing will help you reduce the chance of getting contamination from these common surfaces.
13 What can I do to protect myself from getting sick? Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. The virus can spread this way. Try to avoid close contact with sick people. If you get sick with influenza, stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
14 What is the best way to keep from spreading the virus through coughing g or sneezing? If you are sick, limit your contact with other people as much as possible. Do not go to work or school if ill. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick. Put your used tissue in the waste basket. Cover your cough or sneeze if you do not have a tissue. Then, clean your hands, and do so every time you cough or sneeze.
15 What is the best technique for washing my hands to avoid getting g the flu? Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. Wash with soap and water or clean with alcohol-based l hand cleaner. When you wash your hands -- with soap and warm water -- that you wash hfor 15to 20 seconds. When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers may be used. You can find them in most supermarkets and drugstores. If using gel, rub your hands until the gel is dry. The gel doesn't need water to work; the alcohol in it kills the germs on your hands.
16 What should I do if I get sick? If you live in areas where swine influenza cases have been identified and become ill with influenza-like symptoms, including fever, body aches, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, or vomiting or diarrhea, you may want to contact their health care provider, particularly if you are worried about your symptoms. Your health care provider will determine whether influenza testing or treatment is needed. If you are sick, you should stay home and avoid contact with other people as much as possible to keep from spreading your illness to others. If you become ill and experience any of the following warning signs (next 2 slides), seek emergency medical care.
17 In children emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include: Fast breathing or trouble breathing Bluish skin color Not drinking enough fluids Not waking up or not interacting Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough Fever with a rash
18 In adults, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include: Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen Sudden dizziness i Confusion Severe or persistent vomiting
19 Can people catch swine flu from eating pork? No. Swine influenza viruses are not transmitted by food. You can not get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork and pork products is safe. Cooking pork to an internal Coo g po to a te a temperature of 160 F (72 C) kills the swine flu virus as it does other bacteria and viruses.
20 Household Cleaning, Laundry, and Waste Disposal Throw away tissues and other disposable items used by the sick person in the trash. Wash your hands after touching used tissues and similar waste. Keep surfaces (esp bedside tables, surfaces in the bathroom, children s toys, phone handles, doorknobs) clean by wiping them down with a household disinfectant according to directions on the product label. Linens, eating utensils, and dishes belonging to those who are sick do not need to be cleaned separately, but importantly these items should not be shared without washing thoroughly first. Wash linens (such as bed sheets and towels) by using household laundry soap and tumble dry on a hot setting. Avoid hugging laundry prior to washing it to prevent contaminating yourself. Clean your hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub right after handling dirty laundry. Eating utensils should be washed either in a dishwasher or by hand with water and soap.

"You keep the air in my lungs."
I haven't written in this for a long time.
A lot has changed.
But... yes.
I was thinking today. I would never call someone a hero unless they've actually pulled me out of something. Like... non-existance. lol. And not for guilt purposes, like, 'oh, what would they do without me'. But honest, they actually at one point worked their ass off to keep me with them. So amazing to me. A hero is someone you can't live with out. Literally! I can look up to tons of people, I can be best friends with someone.. but they can still not be my HERO. And that's okay. It shouldn't be offensive. (Kaye just flushed the toilet and she's on the phone, what the hell.) Anyway, people deserve to be recognized for what they are.
I think I'm done. My grammar is awful today. It's cold.

Oxford University is launching a summer school aimed at white British boys in an attempt to increase its number of working class students.
The pilot scheme, run in collaboration with education charity the Sutton Trust, will target students from disadvantaged areas, especially boys from rural and coastal regions.
Research has shown that white British pupils are the least likely to attend university, with only 45% going on to higher education after school.
White British boys eligible for free school meals also achieve the lowest GCSE grades of any ethnic group.
Less than a quarter (24%) leave school with five A* to C GCSE grades including maths and English.
According to organisers, the summer school will give these pupils the chance to "realise their potential and experience a taste of Oxford undergraduate life".
The teens will have the opportunity to learn subjects including ancient history, computer science, law and medical science from Oxford's academics.
Dr Samina Khan, director of undergraduate admissions at Oxford University, said: "I hope that we can help students realise their potential and encourage high-achieving students from white British socio-economically disadvantaged areas to aim for top universities such as Oxford."
Director of Fair Access to Higher Education Professor Les Ebdon added: "It is crucial that universities keep looking for new and innovative ways to work with the most under-represented group in higher education to make sure that everyone with the talent to succeed at university has the chance to do so, whatever their background."

I was told recently that the book I've written is a vendetta, that it is not what women need.
If I am accused of having a quarrel with the way women in the past (inside and outside the Church) were controlled and demeaned, yes, even today in some circles, I guess it is.
I do have a vendetta when women were not allowed to vote, own land, go into science, and certain professions. I do have a vendetta when a woman is supposed to, "stay where she belongs . . .at home only". What about the wise women in the center of Scripture; spotlighted in Proverbs 14 and 31. She was wise: she loved and cared for her husband and family because she had them and knew that their welfare was very much in her hands – – and she was a business woman. She was free, respected and praised by her husband and children; she had it all!
When the art works of women in history are hidden: the discoveries, the acts of greatness, kindness and compassion are overlooked by the leaders because the creators of them are women, I have a quarrel with them.
I believe from my study of the Bible that there is a powerful life and contribution women are gifted to play in their lifetime. When they are free to express, the whole world is more balanced, whole and compassionate. All of us have just one life to live. The gifts and "brains" of women are given by God: opening up a vista for them – – the balance of power they may exert is exciting.
A female Radiologist, a beautiful, thoughtful thinker, told me that growing up she was told, "You are not submissive enough." Yet she is a Harvard graduate, her background is stunning, her life useful. She helped me through cancer therapy.
Is it "lacking submission" to think what you think, to be thoughtful, to grow in your understanding – – indeed to become a modern day healer; a Scientist? What if she had stopped thinking because her scientific mind was not "submissive enough"? Is a Business woman out of place according to the Bible? Is a woman not submissive when she disagrees with the going trend of the culture, or even with her husband.
It is possible and right and good and to think differently, to develop and grow in your gifts, though no other person "sees" it or agrees. Submission is not giving up who God created you to be, though submission is certainly a valuable character strength when respecting your husband, and respecting those others who deserve to be respected.
You can be both a thinker and respectful. And so can every person!
I bear no grudge; I have no vengeance or retaliation in mind with the book that I worked on for more than ten years. It is a study of Scripture only. The book is an encouragement to women, showing their equal and counterpart power and role beside men. Both are created in God's own image.

Introduction by John Campion
Job's Cry to Gallileo
In the cool, wet desert dawn of a middle-Eastern morning, a man lay dying in pain, suffering from an inglorious and unknown malady. The pathways for a cure were clouded in a mist of inadequate science. He endured his incapacity without comfort. He felt that life and his God had abandoned him. He called out:
"Let me but call a witness in my defence. Let the Almighty state his case against me. If my accuser had written out his indictment I would not keep silence and remain indoors."
So cried a Jewish man named Job in the pre-dawn of Western culture. In his extremis, he had chosen a legal metaphor to express his cry for help. At the centre of this very personal, and arguably commonplace but heroic experience, the notion of a charge, a trial and necessarily a judge, stands central in our culture.
Similarly, each great epochal transformation in the history of the Western mind appears to have been initiated by a kind of archetypal sacrifice. As if to consecrate the birth of a fundamental new cultural vision, in each case, a symbolically resonant trial and martyrdom of some sort was suffered by its central prophet. Thus: the trial and execution of Socrates at the birth of the classical Greek mind, the trial and crucifixion of Christ at the birth of Christianity and the trial and condemnation of Galileo at the birth of modern science.
In each of these four grand events, there was fundamental to it, a trial and a judge.
In our age and time, major issues have been played out in a courtroom and before a judge:
1. the role and dignity of women in the trial of Queen Caroline in the 1820s;
2. cultural and political prejudice and expediency in the trial of Alfred Dreyfuss;
3. the enduring Canadian theme of ethnic and linguistic differences in the trial of Louis Riel;
4. the debate between accepted faith and the philosophical pre-eminence of modern science in the Scopes trial in the United States in the 1920s;
5. the scourge of ethnocentric dictatorship and violence at the trials at Nuremburg, in Rwanda and elsewhere in the world;
6. the remnants of Colonial oppression in the trial of Nelson Mandella; and
7. the abortion debate in the trial of Dr. Henry Morgenthaler.
Each of these passionate courtroom events illustrates the enduring significance of the trial and the seemingly mysterious but broadly accepted role of the judge in our society.
Many Canadian judges are not known to the broad public. They and their predecessor judges have laboured somewhat anonymously in the service of the public, imposing the rule of law on a case-by-case basis. Accepted wisdom would have that this key role of the judge was unchanged from Socrates to Morgenthaler.
And yet, we know that change is upon us. The harbinger of change may be the O.J. Simpson trial. Judge Lance Ito no longer has the benefit of anonymity. He is playing out his role and exposing the entire judicial system to the unforgiving and intimate scrutiny of a soap opera and tragedy in full public view. The mystery is disappearing. The process seems excessive and flawed. The trial is less about guilt and innocence and more about racial politics. This trial may be the beginning of a new popular cultural vision brought on by technology.
Whatever the long-term significance of the Simpson trial, it raises to renewed prominence, the role of the trial and the judge in our society.
The Chief Justice of Canada represents the best of the old traditions of a sober and intellectual independence. His training was carefully chosen and extensive. He graduated from the University of Montreal in 1956. As a lawyer, he practised and taught criminal law. He was active in the governance of the profession, is a founder of the Association of Defence Attorneys for Quebec, National Chairman of the Criminal Justice Section of The Canadian Bar Association and a Member of the Disciplinary Board of the Quebec Bar.
He was appointed to the Superior Court in the Queen's Bench of the Province of Quebec in 1969; Vice-Chairman of The Law Reform Commission of Canada in 1971; member of the Board of Directors of Canadian Human Rights Foundation in 1974; Chairman of The Law Reform Commission of Canada in 1976; the Court of Appeal of Quebec in 1978; the Supreme Court of Canada in 1980 and Chief Justice of Canada in 1990.
He is a member of the Privy Council of Canada, Deputy Governor General, Chairman of the Canadian Judicial Council, Chairman of the Advisory Council of the Order of Canada and has received distinguished awards for his contributions to society, including an Honorary Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and Honorary Doctorates from the Universities of Moncton, Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. It is with great respect and pleasure, I ask you to welcome The Rt. Honourable Antonio Lamar.
Antonio Lamer
Mr. Chairman, distinguished guests, I am pleased to be able to take part in your series on Law and Society. I believe that a skilled, dedicated and independent judiciary is a central element in a healthy democracy. I also believe that the judicial branch of government is probably the least understood. Although I think there is plenty of' evidence to support that conclusion, one recent study perhaps clinches it. The study found that, notwithstanding the similarity between my ceremonial attire and that of Santa Claus, more Canadians could name Santa's reindeer than could name the 9 judges of the Supreme Court. I congratulate you for providing opportunities in this series to promote better knowledge and understanding of our judicial system and indeed of our system of justice more generally.
I am proud of our judiciary and of our system of justice. This is not a pride based on ignorance of the challenges or of the problems. I am not here to give you some utopian view expressed in platitudes. I am here to speak about the importance of the role of judges, to give you very briefly the basis for my pride, and to share with you very candidly some of the challenges and problems which confront us.
I approach my task with optimism and confidence. I find it very encouraging and comforting that the Canadian public has great interest in the courts and a strong commitment to public officials conducting themselves properly and legally. The public is intolerant of injustice--consider the reaction to wrongful conviction. The public wants and expects its officials to act within the law and to be treated like everyone else when they do not. The conduct of everyone working in public institutions is scrutinised according to very high expectations. In short, the public wants a just system of government based on the rule of law.
Why do I find this encouraging? The answer is simple, but important to our society. The Courts exist for the public. Their ultimate purpose is to protect and vindicate everyone's rights and freedoms in a system based on the rule of law. The public interest and expectation that I have just described is a sign that the rule of law is a vibrant force in the community; that the desire for justice according to law is a strong public aspiration. It is in the spirit of our people. This is good news, because that sort of interest and aspiration is essential to maintain the rule of law--law applicable to every person, regardless of status. This, in turn, is essential to the preservation of democracy itself. As Chief Justice Dubbin put it so well recently:
"The rule of law is not one good amongst many, but is indispensable to a free and democratic society."
I believe that public interest in the courts is increasing. This is a by-product, probably the inevitable by-product, of the way that the role and responsibility of the courts have evolved over the last 26 years that I have been a judge.
Unlike England, we have never had a pure system of parliamentary supremacy in Canada. Our federal system makes that impossible. Where, as in Canada, the power of Parliament and of the legislatures is limited by assigning certain matters to one and certain to the other, there has to be a way of obtaining an authoritative determination of what those limits are. In Canada, that role has been assigned to the Courts. In other words, our courts for a long time have been in the business of ruling on the legality of laws passed by our elected representatives.
Then, in 1982, came the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. As a result, the responsibility of the Courts in this area was greatly expanded. The Charter means that courts not only have to decide whether the federal division of powers has been respected; it requires legislation to be tested against broadly worded guarantees of fundamental rights. The result is that Courts are required to adjudicate a new range of debates about fundamental questions: What is equality before the law? Is a particular law demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society? These are Charter questions which courts must answer. And the answers are not in the back of the book.
Given these new responsibilities, enhanced public interest is not at all surprising. It is also not surprising that the nature of these new responsibilities is not well understood. Some people speak as if these new responsibilities under the Charter are simply the instruments of judges seeking more power. Nothing could be further from the truth. The judiciary did not seek these responsibilities and we certainly did not assign them to ourselves. They were given to, indeed imposed upon, the judiciary by the politicians. It was a job given to us, either deliberately or by default, by the democratic process. As for the suggestion that judges intrude into the legislative sphere, the truth is that many of the toughest issues we have had to deal with have been left to us by the democratic process. The legislature can duck them. We can't. Think of abortion, euthanasia, same sex benefits, to name a few. Our job is to decide the cases before us properly, to the best of our abilities. We can't say we are too busy with other things or that the issue is too politically sensitive or set up a royal commission. We do our duty and decide. How doing this is somehow undemocratic, as some claim, is, quite frankly, beyond me. Perhaps part of the explanation is that in 1980 the public debate was focused on patriation, the amending formula and the guaranteeing of rights in the Charter. The inevitable re-adjustment of the relationship between courts and legislatures was not at the centre of debate. I was on the Supreme Court at the time and was both surprised and concerned that there was so little apparent consideration given to this shift of responsibilities.
The decisions of judges are the subject of considerable public attention. This is as it should be. Sometimes the attention is well informed and sometimes not. From the public perspective, the courts do not just decide a case. The case itself often serves another public purpose. It provides a platform to draw attention to important questions of public policy--an occasion to debate an issue. The questions the court was called upon to answer get lost. Some people are quite ready to comment on court decisions without either reading or understanding them. More significantly, perhaps, the whole legal context of the dispute is missing. Sometimes the case becomes a vehicle for publicity as much as a dispute about the law.
What must not be forgotten is that the judge's fundamental duty is to decide the questions before the court impartially, independently and according to law. A judge cannot approach a case as a legislature would. The scope of the judge's decision is defined by the question submitted by the parties. The answer which the judge gives is constrained and dictated by the legal context in which the dispute arises. This is an element that so often is lacking in public discussion of judicial decisions. Consider, for example, the issue of assisted suicide. One often hears it said that a majority of the Supreme Court is opposed to assisted suicide, as a result of the Rodriguez decision. But that way of describing the case misses the whole legal context in which the Court was called upon to rule. The legal issue was whether Parliament may, under our Constitution, make assisting suicide a crime. There was no suggestion that Parliament was prevented from making the opposite decision. That is what the Court had to decide, not whether assisted suicide was a social good. The difference is more than a semantic quibble; it goes to a point of fundamental importance about the role of judges.
A second aspect of the role of the judge is closely linked to the first. A judge's obligation is to decide, independently and impartially, according to his or her best judgment, what the law requires. The nature of that duty makes its exercise likely to attract controversy. This is especially true when the dispute involves constitutional guarantees of fundamental rights. The basic reason for such guarantees is that the popular will cannot always be relied on to protect the rights in question. In other words, the protection of these rights may sometimes be unpopular in the short term. This is not to say that judges are always right, or that they should try to be unpopular, or even that the unpopular decision is always right. But it is important to remember that judges are not in the business of making decisions with the objective of pleasing as many people as possible. Judges are in the business of deciding difficult questions according to law, whether it pleases or not. A high level of public interest, or even deliberate pressure tactics, must not distract a judge from this fundamental duty.
There is a difference--an important difference--between having public confidence over the long term and being popular. Some judicial decisions are inevitably unpopular; that does not mean they are wrong or that the jury did not do his or her duty. Of course, public interest in the courts, debate about what is just, and how well courts do their job, are all important in a democracy. But we must remember that the role of the judge is to decide, to give judgment, and to be faithful to the rule of law--not to make propaganda.
This is why honest and accurate coverage of the decisions of courts is essential. And that can be achieved only if adequate resources are made available to cover the courts and if those who do the covering are competent and fair. As in any other area, specialisation and experience are also important. Reporters need a chance to learn how to cover justice issues--a process that takes time and the opportunity to cover the area in depth. There must also be enough space and time devoted to these matters so that reports that start out as accurate and fair are not published in so truncated a form that they lose those qualities.
Courts increasingly recognise that they need to be of more help to journalists. I have raised with my colleagues on the Canadian Judicial Council the question whether there are not more ways in which the judiciary collectively could be helpful, perhaps by offering courses or seminars for journalists. The Canadian Journalism Foundation has some promising initiatives under way, and I believe we should be supportive of serious efforts to improve the quality and quantity of reporting about the work of the courts. Specialised fellowships are another idea and it may be that the legal profession--law firms, corporate law departments and so on--can be of help.
So I welcome public interest in the courts and in what judges do, even if sometimes that interest is not well-informed or well-directed. It is nonetheless a true sign of health in a democracy. What better news could there be?
All of this means that the quality of the judiciary is extremely important, as are our efforts to maintain and enhance that quality.
Of course, one of the most important factors is the process of appointment. That is a matter for the elected representatives, not for the judges, but no discussion of quality of the judiciary can start anywhere else. This fundamental point should never be forgotten.
After appointment, the two areas of judicial responsibility are conduct and continuing education. With respect to conduct, I can speak to you with intimate knowledge of the federally appointed judiciary, because I preside over the Canadian Judicial Council, which has the statutory responsibility to receive complaints about federally appointed judges. I believe we have an excellent complaints record. With about 1000 federally appointed judges, we get only a handful of complaints alleging misconduct each year. Of course, we get lots complaints from the losing parties that the judge must have been pretty stupid because they didn't win. But real misconduct is very rare.
This is not say our process is perfect. We have commissioned a major study of conduct process and many other issues, which study we will receive late this summer. When we receive it, we will examine its recommendations systematically, issue by issue, to determine what might improve our conduct process and what might not. We are also developing, for the first time in Canada, a Code of Conduct for federally appointed judges. No doubt these are important and useful steps, and there are valuable changes to be made. But that should not detract from the core message that the conduct of our judges is exceptionally good.
There are also important developments in continuing judicial education--the second key area to ensure high standards among those who have been appointed to the bench. It is obviously crucial that judges are able to stay up-to-late and improve their skills. There has been great emphasis on training in equality issues, particularly pertaining to race and gender. When I became a judge in 1969, there was nothing like this. As one senior colleague put it, all a new judge got was a Bible and a pencil. Now every newly appointed judge gets materials and videos on family violence and race relations, and has access to training opportunities we could not even have dreamt of 25 years ago.
To conclude, let me touch on one of the greatest challenges facing us. I refer, of course, to the combined effects of pressure of work, delays and the expense of litigation. There is a great deal of effort being expended to try to address these problems. But I believe that much more public concern is essential for the discovery of the solutions to many of our problems.
Since I became Chief Justice in 1990, I have been inciting the legal community to wage war on delay in the Courts. While there is a long way to go, a lot has been accomplished. Delays have been reduced in many courts across Canada and innovative programmes have been put in place to provide quicker and more economical dispute resolution. All of that said, there are still some tremendous problems.
Like so many other areas in the public sector, resources are scarce and the workload is increasing. Public expectations of service are not always matched by the commitment of public funds. Delay and expense in litigation are not under the sole, or even the primary, control of the judiciary, but I can tell you the judiciary is doing everything it can to try to improve the situation. These efforts have been successful in many areas.
I will give just a couple of examples. On the civil side, there are success stories with pre-trial procedures. Pre-trial conferences have been found to contribute significantly both to the settlement of actions and to the narrowing of issues so that precious court time is saved. The use of summary trials and mini-trials also helps considerably to reduce the time it takes to get a case heard and decided. The success of these techniques has required changes to the Rules of Court, training for judges in pre-trial techniques and genuine desire on the part of lawyers and their clients to get the case resolved. On the criminal side, one example of good news is in the provincial courts, that is, the courts presided by judges appointed by the provinces. I meet with representatives of all the provincially appointed Chief Judges each year. At our meeting this year, I was happy to learn that in most provincial courts, delay is well within acceptable levels and in several courts there is no undue delay. In several courts, the situation has improved markedly over the last few years.
Public interest and concern here are vital to ensure that adequate tools are given to the courts to allow them to function effectively. There are a lot of dedicated people trying to make things better. Too often they are not getting the tools they need. More resources would not solve all of our problems, but they would solve some of them. Public expectations are very high--in some cases much higher than the level of resources devoted to the task. As Chief Justice McMurtry said recently, quoting Chief Justice McRuer, the administration of justice is too often the poor cousin of government. The justice system is like a fire station: It cannot decide, simply because the resources are not there, to answer only every second call. The system must cope as best it can. We must use scarce resources wisely. But I also hope that our commitment of resources matches our expectations. This hope is more likely to be realised when the public interest in their courts and their justice system is strong and well-informed.
I also believe that we need to assess aspects of our system at a more systemic and institutional level. Some trials are so long that one wonders whether the process will not collapse under its own weight. How can society expect jurors to devote months of their lives to jury service on very long cases? How can a jury absorb and apply instructions on the law that go on for days? Does our thoroughness, at times, place substantial justice out of reach? Of course, the process must be fair, but so must be the result. Do we run the risk, at times, of concentrating on micro justice so that we lose sight of macro justice?
I think our greatest challenge over the next several years will be to cope with complexity and prolixity in legal,, proceedings. We must find ways to retain a fair process, but in the context of a process that can achieve practical results in a reasonable time and at reasonable expense. If ways to do this cannot be found, I fear that our legal system will become simply irrelevant for most purposes. Moreover, if we do not rise to the challenge of complexity and prolixity, will we not be forced to re-examine fundamentally our trial process? May we not, for example, reach the point at which some might question, in a way probably somewhat appealing to the general public, whether the jury trial demands too much of our fellow citizens who must serve on the jury? Might not this, in turn, lead us to conclude that, in our free and democratic society, some limitation is not only necessary, but justified? Of course, I would rather see us adapt and reform our process rather than ration it. But fundamental to achieving that goal will be keeping the process manageable and practical. To meet this challenge will require tremendous imagination and great public interest.
My concluding thought is simply this: Our system faces important challenges. Well-informed public interest in the justice system is not only essential for a strong democracy, but the necessary starting point for needed reforms.
The appreciation of the meeting was expressed by The Hon. Mr. Justice Robert Sharpe, former Dean of University of Toronto Law School, now Justice of the Ontario Court (General Division).

Welcome to Caribbean Accent Book Reviews (CABR) Kristin 🙂
Thanks so much for having me!
Tell us where the idea for your paranormal book, GONE WITH THE WOLF, come from?
My agent had been telling me to try my hand at lighter paranormals for a while, but when I finally decided to give them a shot, I knew I wanted to write a snarky heroine and a really cool and composed Alpha male to oppose and challenge her.
As for the plot of the book, there was really nothing that sparked it to life other than a couple tropes I knew I wanted to include. I fleshed out the story from there.
What did you enjoy the most about writing GWTW?
I really enjoyed the banter between Drake and Emelia. They were a lot of fun and were constantly surprising me. Emelia isn't afraid to speak her mind (a lot like me in that regard) and Drake can't afford to speak his mind because he represents the Seattle Wolf Pack and Wilder Financial.
Everything he's ever known has taught him to rely on numbers and facts and business tactics. Emelia is the firecracker that was thrown into his mix, and it was a ton of fun watching him scramble to handle her and the crazy situations she presented. 😀
Is there a musical soundtrack readers would enjoy while reading your book?
Oh boy, this question is tricky. I have a playlist that I cycled through while writing, but I'm not sure that would be the soundtrack for Gone with the Wolf. My writing playlist included a lot of Sarah McLachlan (songs like River and Winter Song), Basia Bulat (If it Rains), and Emeli Sande (Next to Me).
There were also a few songs by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and A Fine Frenzy on the playlist, too. I basically listened to the same ten songs over and over again until the book was finished. (Weird writing quirk, I know.)
I think the soundtrack for the book would include some Ray LaMontagne – songs like Trouble or Hold you in my Arms which I could imagine Emelia enjoying.
Did you struggle with writing or editing a particular scene in GWTW?
I have so many favorite scenes from this story; it's difficult to pick just one. However, there was one scene that turned out better than I could've imagined. Here's the setup: Drake is taking Emelia to a gala in San Francisco. He handpicked her dress, and needed her to be ready at a certain time.
She is hesitant about going because days earlier she made a fool of herself, insisting the deed to her bar was legit, when in fact it wasn't Truth is, Drake and his company own her bar, and she hasn't quite swallowed that pill just yet.
Excerpt from GONE WITH THE WOLF:
"Your dress came," Trixie said, barreling around the corner swinging a black garment bag.
"Oh yeah? Bring it here." Emelia cleared a spot for the dress as Trixie laid it out and waited impatiently for Emelia to give it the unzip.
Emelia had tried to forget about the Vanguard Gala all week, but Drake's reminder e-mails didn't help. She felt foolish, and wasn't looking forward to bathing in uncomfortable silence all weekend. She'd been ridiculous for fighting a point she should've known to be false. She'd apologized. Drake had accepted her apology. Still, Emelia's behavior was inexcusable. She'd shredded his documents, conveniently forgotten to relay messages, and had even started switching his black coffee for decaf, little by little, hoping he would be groggy and unmanageable in front of his business associates.
To make matters worse, Drake had been so damned kind through the whole thing. He'd been disgustingly…understanding.
She had to make it up to him somehow. She would be the best date he'd ever brought to the Vanguard Gala, on her best behavior.
"What are you waiting for?" Trixie asked.
"I don't know." Nerves danced in Emelia's veins, and tingled through her arms. "Maybe I should wait to put it on until I get home."
"Oh no, you're not going to deny me this. If you're not going to be excited about it, I'll do it for you. Mr. Wilder always picks the attire for this event. Last year he bought me a McLourdes, the most expensive and elegant on the line. It was silver and flowing with diamonds at the collar." Trixie smiled as if she wore the dress now, and seemed to glow from its memory. It should've been a crime for a woman to have brains, sensibility, and beauty that rivaled a model's. "Aren't you even a little anxious to see what he got you?"
Emelia hadn't gotten dressed up for a formal event in years…since Prom, probably. While she'd always loved to dress up, she'd never found an excuse, and had never had a boyfriend who would agree to take her somewhere that required it.
"Yeah," she shrugged, playing down her feelings. "I guess."
Staring at the long, black bag, Emelia couldn't squelch down the excitement that bubbled in her belly. Drake could afford to buy from the most expensive stores on the planet. They were attending a benefit gala in San Francisco, a place she'd always dreamed of going. There were going to be celebrities at the event, Wilder coworkers from across the country and Forbes businessmen. It was a black tie affair, which meant anything could be in the bag: Gucci, Prada, Dolce and Gabbana. Emelia shuddered with anticipation as a single name streaked through her thoughts: Vera.
"Well come on!" Trixie waved her hand impatiently. "Unzip it, or I will."
"All right." Emelia unzipped as Trixie peeled apart the bag opening.
"Oh my—" Trixie gasped, hand to mouth, as the zipper hit the bottom of the bag, revealing the entire dress.
"It's…" Air wheezed past Emelia's lips. "…pretty?"
The dress was a hodgepodge of cotton and lace, full length, flat-black and full-collared. It was perfect…for a nun in training. A blind nun. Who picked her own clothing. From Walmart.
"This has to be a mistake." Trixie backed away like the dress was covered in maggots. "I must've picked up the wrong bag from the designer."
Speechless, Emelia checked the tag. No mistake. The garb was hers. She pulled it out by its hanger and held it up, then met Trixie's mortified gaze. "Is this what women wear to these things?"
"Oh hunny," Trixie's hand found Emelia's shoulder as if she were consoling her after a death in Emelia's family. "What has gotten into that man?"
Things never worked out as Emelia dreamed. She should've been used to that by now.
"If this is what Mr. Wilder wants me to wear, I'll do it." She owed him at least that much. "It's just so…"
"Morticia Addams?"
Gazing far off, Trixie twirled the end of her auburn hair around her finger. "What time is Mr. Wilder picking you tomorrow?"
"He's sending the limo to my place at noon. Why?"
"I want to know how much time I have to get Cinderella ready for the ball. Fairy Godmothers don't work well under time crunches, you know."
Paperbacks or eBooks?
Best place to read outdoors in your city?
My backyard. I have an almond orchard surrounding my yard, so it's always really peaceful.
Ideal getaway?
The ocean. A beach towel and bottle of water. My toes in the sand. Quiet all day.
If you could be someone from history for a day, living or dead, who would it be and why?
This is a great question! I'm going to say Thomas Andrews, the man who designed and helped build the Titanic, but only if I could pick the day to fill his shoes!
I'd want to step in right when the Titanic was fitted and heading out to sea. I think the sense of pride and awe would be completely overwhelming, and it'd be pretty freaking cool to see the ship in all its glory before it sank.

- Gone with the Wolf swag including a custom made beaded bookmark

CEO and alpha werewolf Drake Wilder has given up the search for his one true love. When he discovers that she's a secretary in his company, Drake's primal instincts kick into overdrive.
What he wouldn't give to have her fingers rake over his body instead of the keyboard…
Free-spirited bartender Emelia Hudson wants nothing more than to make her Seattle-based bar succeed. But when profits decline, she slips into a dress suit and secures a nine-to-five. After learning that her bar has become property of Wilder Financial, Emelia is determined to get some answers.
Two can play the ruthless business game. If only her attraction to the boss wasn't so intense…
When Drake's twin brother senses that Drake has found his match—and now inherits their father's billion dollar estate—he hatches a plan to take Emelia out. Drake vows to protect her at all costs, but he might have to pay with his own life.

Why Nations go to War Review Why do notions go to war? What is the reasoning behind their actions? John G. Stoessinger analyzes these questions in his book, Why Nations go to War. Stoessinger believes that to understand the war, you must understand the leaders of the war. When you understand the leaders you understand their actions and when you understand their actions, you have the answer to the question, "Why do nations go to war?" In this review paper I am going to review each chapter individually, 1-10. I will then give a brief summary of the book and what I think as a whole based on my reading.
Chapter 1 This chapter is an analyzation of the beginning of WWI and how Austria's …show more content…
Chapter 3 The third chapter takes into account the misperceptions of General Douglass MacArthur during the Korean War. The beginning of the Korean war is unclear to all. Stoessinger has a few theories as do other people. His theories are: 1) Stalin was upset that his advancements in the western front were stopped by NATO and he turned to Asia to begin to expand his territory. 2) Stalin wanted to create problems for China after the rise of Mao Zedong. 3) There was a Chinese initiative in North Korea. 4) The North Korean attack of South Korea was caused by internal affairs. Regardless of the theories war was declared and this affected many nations. Stoessinger said: The outbreak of the Korean War may be divided into three separate and distinct phases: the decision to repel the North

- This fits me well, as my usual top size is around 2XL US sizing for women. I ordered the 5XL. The only problem I have with it is that the three snaps in the front don't have places to secure/fasten if you use them on their tightest setting, which is the one I need. However, considered its price, it functions just fine and the strips of fabric with the buttons on them hang nicely for a fun effect. The material seems to be a faux soft wool of some type. I enjoy this very much and use it for layering in colder months.

text: Freemasonry is the generic word encompassing various spiritual belief systems that can be traced back to Hiram. He was one of the architects who built the Temple of Solomon, king of Israel and son of David. Freemasonry appeared in its current shape in Scotland in 1598. Then, this secret movement spread all over Europe under various names. Freemasonry is ritual-based. You can only become a Mason through cooptation, which means you need to be introduced by someone who is already a Mason.

Highland Capital Management, a multi-billion dollar investment management corporation based in Dallas Texas, is making major headlines through its generous endowment to the George W. Bush Presidential Center. The ten million endowment gift will be used to maintain many public programs held at the prestigious center. The programs include famous authors, thought leaders, politicians, and news makers looking to take advantage of the space. Read more at Biz Journals about Highland Capital.
Highland Capital has made a significant impact to the success of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. Since 2012, Highland has contributed more than five million dollars since 2012 and this recent gift will substantiate the success of holding various major events for many years to come.
Read: https://www.indeed.com/q-Highland-Capital-Management-jobs.html
The major endowment from Highland Capital also creates several sponsored events in the community. The first sponsored event took place on February 5th. The evening was a constitutional conversation featuring Chris Scalia, the son of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. The evening consisted of a robust conversation regarding his father's favorite speeches and a round table discussion of experts discussing current media landscape. Many of these events are at no cost to register and those interested in attending can sign up at www.bushcenter.org
These series have attracted substantial popularity and attracted multiple sellout crowds. Popular public figures such as Condolezza Rice, Barbra Bush, and Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels have made appearances at the center. In addition, the center is used exclusively for special exhibits such as artists' work. For example, President Bush's paintings of post 9/11 veterans were featured at the center.
The investment and contributions of Highland Capital Management are focused on providing future opportunities for leaders and visionaries of our society to be heard. Highland Capital Management continues to provide opportunities on both national and international scales. Read this article at PR Newswire.
