New Brunswick went the extra step to try and repair the battered image of Canada. Brian Johnson a hockey parent in Fredericton, New Brunswick took it upon himself to try and make amends. He and other parents put in motion plans to bring the Boxers to New Brunswick for a friendly tournament. Approaching the Brockton parents himself, Johnson started in motion an event, that has mushroomed into a symbol of good will and good sporstmanship. The Premier of New Brunswick visited the Massachusetts state House last week with team jackets and personal invitations to attend. Setting the tone for what was to come.

The Boxers traveled to New Brunswick yesterday, met at the border by an RCMP honour guard, a police escort through St. Stephen, the border crossing andhundreds of minor hockey players banging their sticks in salute as they crossed into the province. The fence mending has continued in Fredericton with a gala dinner with Frank Mahovolich as a keynote speaker, a friendly hockey game in the midst of the Canadian University championships and a pond hockey game with the Stanley Cup on the banks of the pond for inspiration. To show twelve year old kids that there really are no differences between the two countries, the teams were deliberately split up, Canadian and American peewees playing on the same sides, in Canadian and American sweaters. The score an 8-7 USA victory, irrelevant to the friendships being created.

Brockton Mayor Jack Yunnits says his kids are walking on air, overwhelmed by the reception. You can't help


ordinary Canadians a much more telltale indication of Canadian beliefs.

But as it always will be, it's the kids that once again help us to recapture some sense of doing the right thing. In a month where hockey seems to have been under attack from all corners, the events in New Brunswick this week give you some hope. The Brockton Boxer and Fredericton Canadien players, 12 year olds that they are, could probably teach the boors of a year ago a lesson in civility. The ability to share good times and good competition in New Brunswick says a lot about their character. The fact that the hockey parents of New Brunswick went to such remarkable lengths to reverse the bad feelings tells us a bit about ours as well.

BrianBurke was all over the media Wednesday, with the Canucks running their Canucks for kids promotion, Burke took to the airwaves in seemingly a non stop blitz of appearances.

Beginning with Neil MacRae's sportscast at 8:15 on CKNW, Burke then sat in for an hour with Bill Good on his NW talk show. He wrapped up his broadcast day with an appearance between periods with Tom Larscheid during the Canucks broadcast.

The bulk of his airtime was spent in defence of his players, Burke claiming that he can see them working their way out of their funk of late. Beginning to turn things around as the playoffs appear on the horizon. MacRae solicited opinions on such things as fragility, goaltending and Ken Dryden.

Good tired to get him to shed more


light on his contract situation, which he declined to do. He did however arouse some anger in Burke about the media in Vancouver, Burke singling out Tony Gallagher of the Province as someone that he dislikes immensely.

His final NW appearance of the night, ended up as a lavish testimony by Larscheid as to the skills Burke has brought to the team and the community. Sounding almost as though Larschied expects Burke to be leaving at the end of the season, he expressed disdain at the way management had handled Burke's contract. Wishing he would be signed and they would get to chat again next year.

A whirlwind of media exposure for Burke who had been keeping a low profile in the days after his media conference over the Bertuzziaffair. To check it all out for yourself head for the CKNW audio vault, from 8:15-9:30 you'll get a sample of All Burke, All the time.

You want a reason for the success of the Edmonton Oilers and why they have clawed their way back into the playoff race in the NHL west, then the above is your evidence.

Credits to Neil MacRae of CKNW, he first pointed out the Oilers' spectacular run on statistics in his morning sports today. Thirteen games, 21 of 26 points taken, it is almost perfection. The Oilers have been the hottest team in the league of late, putting together a game plan that has finally rewarded coach Craig MacTavish with not only hard work, but results as well.

The winning ways continued


on Monday night, the Oilers going into Los Angeles and taking 2 points away from the Kings with a 2-1 victory, vaulting themselves into a seventh place tie with Nashville in the West. The Blues are now the odd team out, in the always changing playoff picture in the West.

Ryan Smyth was the hero of the night, cut, bloody and determined he scored the winning goal on a deflection late in the third. The Kings had battled back to tie the Oilers, with Luc Robitaille passing Johnny Bucyk's point totals for a left winger with an assist. But that would be the end of the celebration for the Kings and their fans, Smyth countered with his goal two minutes later. The celebration worthy of a Stanley Cup championship.The beauty for the Oilers is that they can control their own destiny now, not having to depend on others to keep them in the playoff hunt.

For a team that many had doubts about at the all star break the turn around has been nothing but remarkable. The Oil is definitely back, with both them and the Flames flying high at the moment, Alberta hockey is pretty hot. It's a little bit early to think about it, but, are we in store for another of the storied battles of Alberta? It will take a few lucky breaks down the line, but the way both teams are playing at the moment it's not beyond the realm of belief. CBC must be rubbing their hands with glee, a Flames/Oilers matchup


would catch the interest across the country, one just hopes that it's much later in the playoffs. These are teams you'll want to watch go a long way!

Monday, March 22, 2004

The day after the Canucks threw away two separate leads in a 5-4 loss to Columbus, found the club back on the ice tuning up for the next game Wednesday against LA. Stopping by for a chat with the players was Todd Bertuzzi, who checked into the dressing room before practice. Apparently trying to be useful, offering his observations, going over tape and generally trying to help his co-workers get their game back. Crawford afterwards commented about Bertuzzi's appearance in the building and how it's a positive not only for Bertuzzi, but for the team as well.

Out onthe ice there seemed to be a little bit of finger pointing going on, Johan Hedberg left to practice by himself at one end of the rink, the rest of the squad working out at the other. Was Hedberg put in the doghouse by coach Marc Crawford? Was he working on his concentration in solitude? Has the rest of the team sent him a less than subtle message, of disappointment? No one is talking, Hedberg in an interview afterwards with CKNW (check out the audio vault for Sports at 4:30 for a clip) claimed all was well, he was still confident in his abilities.

Crawford had no comments regarding his goaltender after the practice, though he did hint that it was a disappointing turn of events last night, suggesting


with goaltending once again rearing its head as a trouble spot. Needing Hedberg to rise up to the occasion they were let down, again. Facing 23 shots compared to his counterpart in the Jacket’s net who was peppered with 31, Hedberg continues to test Marc Crawford's patience. Dan Cloutier missed his second game in a row with a hip problem, adding to the missing persons list on the Canucks roster these days. Raising the concern level among the Canuck faithful.

Throwing away two important points is not going to help the Canucks in their bid to secure home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. They now trail not only Colorado but Dallas and Calgary is making a charge up the standings. Sixth place is not beyondmoments following the Bertuzzi incident, he and some of his fellow players on the Avalanche bench discussed and apparently were in favour of leaving the ice. Feeling that GM Place was not a safe place to be at that moment, Selanne didn’t want to go back out. He even suggests that had the team decided to skate off and not finish the game, they would have had the full support of their GM Pierre Lacroix. He claims Lacroix had spoken to the refs about ending the game there and then, but they chose not to do so, finishing the remainder of the game without further incident.

Selanne also wondered aloud what was behind the rash of uncivilized behavior of late, suggesting that perhaps the use of Sudafed or ephedrine


to get tiresome. Playing losing hockey and involved in another ugly on ice incident, March is not going to be a month to remember.

Tonight Toronto took control of the game from the very beginning jumping quickly to a 3-0 lead in the first period, pounding Avalanche goaltender David Aebischer with 3 goals on seven shots, all three scored in a period of two minutes and thirty three seconds. Aebischer settled down in the second and his defense held off the Leaf attack for most of the second period. The game boiled over in frustration from time to time, Peter Worrell and Matrhew Barnaby seemingly the target of much Maple Leaf affection.
The game had an ugly moment, one which had the Avalanche charged up after the game. Wade Belakclubbed Ossi Vannenen on his helmet with a two handed slash, did he lose his balance and just mistakenly swing his stick or was it just a mindless use of his stick, that will be up to Colin Campbell to decide in a disciplinary hearing. Vannenen did not appear worse for wear from the incident, but it was yet another bad mark for the games image of late.

Belak was assessed a five minute major for attempt to injure and thrown out of the game. His actions almost letting the Avalanche back into the game, as Colorado picked up a goal during the five minute power play. But it would prove not to be enough, the Leafs going on to win the game 5-2.
Bringing to an end a horrible


a great note. Perhaps if it’s a win or go home situation they’ll be able to change their results of late.

The Senators know that they were the cause of their own misfortune Saturday night. With Patrick Lalime doing his best to keep his team in the game, it was an effort wasted, as his team didn't take advanage of the opportunities presented to them. The Sens managed to secure one point Saturday, with an Overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricane at the Corel Centre.

Bret Hedican put the cap on the night for the Canes scoring with 56 seconds to go in the extra period. Making amends for an earlier miscue in the second period, when he received a double minor for high sticking Chris Neil. His selfish movein a spirited bout of fisticuffs in the first period, but Belak would be best remembered Saturday night for his incredibly stupid two handed slash on Ossi Vaanenen, striking him across the helmet. Belak received a five minute major for intent to injure and the customary expulsion from the game. The incident now goes on to further review from the league office.

Before Campbell can make his decision on Belak however, he’ll have to wade through the shenanigans of the final five seconds of the Flames/Predators game. A number of hard hits in the third set the physical tone for the remainder of the game, featuring Chris Simon wandering over the ice trying to hit as many Predators as he could stumble across. The Preds popped in an empty


eighth place Predators and the chance to go on to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Igor Ulanov scored the go ahead goal and eventual winner with 1.31 remaining in the game. The see saw nature of the game, kept the sell out crowd on the edge of their seats for the duration. Demand for tickets to the game, was such that the Oilers set up a closed circuit broadcast in the Jubilee Auditorium selling an additional 2,000 seats.

The two teams are going in separate directions, the OIlers having won the last three games in a row and haven’t lost in regulation time in the last 11. The Predators on the other hand have been on a losing skid of late, winless in their last seven as they try to makethe playoffs for the first time in their six year history.

The Canucks continued to have problems as they dropped an Overtime match 4-3 to Chicago Friday night. Falling behind early on the Canucks managed to pull even by the end of the third period setting up the OT frame.

Desperate to turn around the slump they find themselves in over the last week and a half the Canucks gave the impression they might be able to salvage the extra point tonight. Starting Johan Hedberg in the nets tonight for the injured Dan Cloutier, things got off to a rather rough start, as Hedberg gave up three goals on just fourteen shots. He was replaced at 6:53 of the second, by Manitoba Moose call up Alex Auld, who held the


fort through the remainder of the second and third periods.

The Chi-Hawks won the game at 1:44 of OT with Tyler Arnanson scoring his third goal of the game, a flukish thing that originated as a pass from Bryan Berard that deflected off of Auld only to be batted into the net by Arnanson. With that it was game over, the Hawks gaining two rare points in front of the home crowd.

For the Canucks it’s just the continuation of playing under a black cloud. Even before the Bertuzzi suspension they had been having their problems putting together wins in a row and losing to teams that they were expected to beat. With Bertuzzi gone for the season and the playoffs they seem to be performing in a fog, notFlames on a tear of late, burned the Columbus Blue Jackets Thursday night, shutting them out 2-0 in front of an ecstatic, sold out Saddledome crowd.

Miika Kiprusoff registered his third shutout of the season and lowered his goals against average to a ridiculous 1.63, the best in the league. Matthew Lombardi and Jarome Iginla were the goal scorers for the Flames, scoring early in the second and late in the third period to seal the win.

Calgary in sixth place trails Dallas by one point and has climbed to within 2 points of the slumping fourth place Canucks. If they can continue their successful ways of late, they could end up with the home game advantage in the playoff round.

With eight games remaining for Vancouver, Calgary and Dallas all


of a sudden the Flames look to be the favorite to move up the most in the standings. And how many Flame fans were thinking that way at the start of the season? Now the streaking Flames may be the team to watch this year!

Big games require big efforts and tonight the Sens came up large. The Colorado Avalanche arrived in Ottawa to take on the Senators at the Corel Centre, by the end of the evening Patrick Lalime and the Sens would get a huge confidence boost.

Lalime would record his fourth shut out of the season as the Sens topped the Avs 2-0, clinching a playoff spot in the East. Peter Schaeffer and Wade Redden scored the only goals of the game in the first period, Lalimeshutting the door handling only 23 shots, including a hectic 53 second period when the Avs had a two man advantage, but couldnÂt score. Colorado abandoned goaltender David Aebischer, who faced 33 shots in the loss. Only their fifth road loss in regulation time this year, but the second one in a row. A troubling show of inconsistency for Tony Granato.

For the Sens the big home win in front of a sell out crowd was a sense of redemption for a poor western road swing. Which saw them finish off with an uninspired loss to Minnesota. Losing 3 of the five games,tonight'ss win will go a long way to getting them back on track for the playoffs.

The Sens remain tied with the Maple Leafs at 92 points, but


three games this year against Vancouver, a 6-1 record over two years. Philippe Boucher, Jason Arnott and Bill Guerin the marksmen for the Stars, Marty Turco registering the shut out on 20 shots, his 20th shut out in his career. Canucks goaltender Dan Cloutier was pulled from the game after two periods, suffering a “lower body” injury, Johan Hedberg taking his place in the nets for the third period. While not described as severe, Cloutier will miss Friday night’s game in Chicago, Alex Auld getting the call to leave the Moose behind in Winnipeg and head for Chicago.

With Ed Jovanovski, Brad May, Henrik Sedin and of course Todd Bertuzzi out of the line up, the Canucks were physically battered by the larger Stars. A point not lost onMarcus Naslund who identified the strength and skill of the Stars first line as the key to the Stars’ win tonight.

This Canuck team is a lot different than the one dressing less than two weeks ago. A team originally designed to do a lot of hitting in the corners and crashing the front of the net, now has to find new ways to get some scoring. The good news for Canucks fans is that it's March 19th and not April 19th, so there is time to get things fixed. Whether Marc Crawford can get them all on the same page by playoff time, is the big question.

Thursday, March 18, 2004

Like school officials in a gang ridden neighborhood, Ottawa City Council has taken to banning the colours of the


would they? Letting Flyer fans carry cans to a hockey game would just seem like a particularly unwise thing to do, on a par with asking Bobby Clarke to speak at the UN on the state of peacekeeping today.

The Sabres spent St. Patrick's Day in Atlanta, acting like the Battlin' Donnelly's. Fighting their way through three periods of hockey and 125 minutes in penalties, on their way to a 4-3 win over Atlanta. The win pulls Buffalo to within four points of the New York Islanders who give every indication of wanting to welcome the Sabres to the eighth and final playoff position.

Buffalo's Daniel Briere was knocked out of the game in the third period, when an elbow from Thrasher Andy Sutton sent him to the dressing roomwith a possible concussion. Briere uttered the R word after the game, Respect or lack of it. A little over a week after the Bertuzzi incident, there is no let down in the physical nature of the games. The two teams combined for many melees on the ice starting early in the first period and continuing to the mid point of the third. Buffalo tough guy Andrew Peters squared off with many of the Atlanta enforcers, the most discussed of the battles tonight between Peters and Thrasher Francis Lessard, which featured Lessard pummelling the back of the neck of a covering up Peters. The power play that followed totaled seven minutes and gave the Sabres one goal, on their way back to win the game in Overtime. Expect


to hear more of the fisticuffs from the league office after Sherrif Campbell reviews all the pertinent video evidence.

Derek Roy netted the winning goal and brought to an end Fight Club, on a fluke play fifteen seconds into the overtime frame. The fourth game in a row that has required extra time for a result to be listed. The Sabres continue their tour of the Southwest with a game against Tampa Bay on Thursday night, Saturday they head for Miami then get three nights off before playing Montreal at home next Wednesday. The Islanders entertain the Wild, Lightning and Capitals in the same period of time. Buffalo needs some help from the weaker teams as they try to make up some ground on the Islanders in the dashin their first game, giving the management team a large pool to choose from to fill the 22 NHL roster spots available. With Quenneville now settling in as coach, they mind that there won’t be as many declined invitations this year; such is his popularity with the troops of the NHL.

The Maple Leafs began a week of tough games Monday night, by falling behind Buffalo by a score of 5-2, only to claw their way back to a tie and then a 6-5 win in Overtime. Tomas Kaberle put the cap on a wild night, scoring with just over a minute left in OT giving the Leafs the win. The game featured Alexander Mogilny's 1,000th career point as he collected three assists as part of the nights scoring.


Big guns Mats Sundin and Owen Nolan both scored two goals each on the night, with Gary Roberts scoring the tying goal with only 37 seconds to go in the game.

Buffalo had a 5-2 lead going into the third period, but couldn't hold it. Trevor Kidd making his first start since February 5th, managed to shut the door in the third, while Buffalo's Martin Biron found himself giving up four unanswered goals in the third and OT.

Buffalo gained one point on the Islanders climbing to within four of the New Yorkers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East, while the Leafs trail the Sens and the Bruins for the title of the North East conference, holding down fifth overall in the division.

Buffalo has ten gamesleft in the season, the Islanders 11 so the struggle for a playoff spot is still very much uphill. As for the Leafs, Monday's win was their first after two losses, they now go on to face four division leaders in their next four games. A test for them as they try to claim first in the conference and solidify a hold on home ice advantage for the playoffs.

Both Alberta based teams found Sunday to be to their liking, winning their respective games in convincing fashion.

The Oilers held the Senators to only thirteen shots on the way to a 3-1 win over the Sens, who wrapped up their swing west Sunday night. For the Oilers it was a shorter than usual night, since February 29th the Oilers have


gone into Overtime in every game, in order to preserve the point or gain a win. Tonight it was straight time as Ethan Moreau, Radek Dvorak and Raffi Torres all scored for the Oil to secure the win. Martin Havlat picking up the lone goal for the Sens. Ty Conklin got the win for the Oilers, Patrick Lalime replaced starter Martin Prusek, as Jacques Martin tried to shake up his lethargic squad. The Sens remain in fourth place overall in the conference with 90 points. The Oilers presently are in 10th, but now only four points behind the St. Louis Blues who are holding down the final playoff spot in the West.

The Oilers received a big favour from their provincial cousins, as the Flames took care of theBlues today by a score of 3-0. Roman Turek led the Flames to victory turning back all 25 shots that he faced against his old team, his first game since being placed and going unclaimed on waivers. Marcus Nillson, Craig Conroy and Chris Simon accounted for the Flames offence, but the team defence is what kept the Blues at bay. Strong checking and positional play by the Flames, kept the Blues off the shot clock for the first ten minutes of the game. The Blues made more progress in the second and third periods, but Turek closed the door. The win helps to solidify the Flames hopes for a playoff spot, currently holding down sixth place in the West with 82 points. While they Oilers won't be sending


the Flames any thank you cards, the Flames work tonight has given Edmonton a boost, as the stumbling Blues suddenly seem within reach of the Oil.

Perhaps we're not too far away from the good old days of the Battle of Alberta, with a surge from the Oilers and continued success for the Flames, Alberta can dream a little of what could be.

Sunday, March 14, 2004

Rex Murphy opened up his phone lines on CBC Radio’s Cross Country Check Up program Sunday, and Canadians from coast to coast unburdened themselves of the angst of the Bertuzzi incident. From Newfoundland to British Columbia, Murphy had guests on line and took calls on the topic of hockey violence in the NHL and in hockey in general.

While Murphy admitted that he was nota close follower of the game, he provided some excellent points and asked the questions that have been making the rounds this week in other forums, not always handled as carefully as Murphy did.

Caller after caller gave their observations on the incident in question and the state of the game in general. The first caller of the day, a gent named John in Waterloo, Ontario, recounted how a junior hockey game degenerated due to the hostile nature of the parents and fans in attendance. A caller named Tom, asked why the NHLPA had not made any comments about the situation, wondering why they had not made efforts to protect their membership, by offering suggestions and support for cracking down on other violent incidents. Stephen Brunt of the Globe


for a week or so, bringing things to a boil so to speak.

The instigator rule came in under attack as well, callers identifying it as a root cause of the increased attacks on star and journeyman player alike. Don Cherry and Dave Hunter, who both appeared as guests, echoed that suggestion, claiming that if the players knew they were answerable for their tactics at the hands of an enforcer then things might be different today. Cherry blaming the left wingers (political ones, not positional players) who force the instigator rule on the league, which in his opinion has declared Open season on the stars. Hunter, who appeared close to the end, said much of the same, saying that the players were living by the code of take careof your team mate. Both men said that the suspension was what they expected and should be the end of the situation, with no police involvement. Both however said that they believed the courts would become involved in the case.

One caller from London laid the blame at the feet of the minor hockey system, saying that it has a win at all costs attitude, forsaking skill development for the brute force approach to success. Murphy brought in Ed Willis of the Vancouver Province at one point, who recounted the atmosphere at GM Place that night, describing it as a surreal and bizarre type of game. Leading to an ugly third period and the events well documented by now. Pointing out that just prior to the incident, the Canucks


had a line on the ice consisting of Brad May, Todd Bertuzzi and Sean Pronger, to try and engage Steve Moore in a fight. Moore had declined an invitation from Pronger, not more than thirty seconds before Bertuzzi made his fateful move. Willis described how the arena’s mood changed quickly as the trainers, doctors and paramedics scrambled onto the ice to attend to Moore, the pool of blood forming around his head as they worked. By the time they had him loaded onto the stretcher, a sick feeling had descended on the rink.

The callers continued to express their opinions of the possibility of legal action, the far too often use of sticks above the waist in hockey and what we perceive is acceptable action on the ice. TheyNight in Canada double bill, provided some exciting and fast paced action, almost playoff like in it’s intensity.

Starting with the Toronto Montreal game we enjoyed two ancient rivals, take to the ice at the Bell Centre and put on a great display for the fans on hand and the television audience. Ed Belfour brought re-assurance to his Maple Leaf fans by starting in the net for Toronto tonight, but right off the bat gave them cause to worry. Mike Ribeiro electrifying the crowd by dashing across the front of the net stretching both defensemen and Belfour out flat before firing the puck into the net to open the scoring.

The two teams battled back and forth in the fast and physical game, Montreal taking the lead for good at


9:33 of the third, when Richard Zednik scored for the Habs. While the atmosphere was loud and enthusiastic in the arena, Leaf coach Pat Quinn was not enthused about his team’s performance tonight. Worrying about the inability of the first unit to get any chances or make an impression. Belfour played well for the most part, Montreal goaltender Jose Theodore just a little bit better at the other end. The 4-3 win gives the Habs a bit more breathing space in the East, the loss coupled with a Senator win gives leaves the Leafs looking up the standings at Ottawa in fourth place.

The Senators putting together an effective road game in Vancouver to gain a game in hand on the Leafs and move closer to the Bruins forfirst overall in the North East conference. Another fast paced game, this one featured some unusual goals in the Sens 2-1 victory at GM place. Ottawa outplayed the Canucks badly in the first period, controlling the play and keeping the Canucks off the shots list until the fifteen minute mark. An early goal by Zdeno Chara was waved off after the referees ruled incidental contact in the Canuck crease. Martin Rucinsky missed a golden opportunity as well as his shot in the first went wide of the empty side of the Sens net. The first Senators goal by Peter Bondra was scored when Canuck goaltender Johan Hedberg went wandering behind the net to play the puck, mishandled it ended up on Bondra’s stick and then in. The lead


It has been well documented that only about 10% of adolescents with clinically diagnosable substance use problems receive treatment in any given year. One of the major contributing factors to chronic levels of unmet need for treatment among this population is the unavailability and inaccessibility of treatment services. Service accessibilty is particularly limited in rural areas. To address problems of service availability and accessibiliy in rural areas, the use of video teleconferencing technology to provide direct services has emerged within the fields of medicine and psychiatry in particular. The use of such technology to enhance the delivery of behavioral psychotherapy is beginning to emerge as well. A handful of primarily small-scale pilot and feasibility studies indicate that psychotherapy interventions administered using video teleconferencing technology may be as effectiveGO with my blessing.

Switzerland could be the only country in the world where you can see the president traveling by train or taking an unaccompanied stroll through the streets of the capital.

This is only part of what sets the Swiss executive branch apart from other governments in the world.

Instead of executive power being vested in an individual, it is held by a committee. Unlike other countries, there is no prime minister or head of state.

Since 1848, the Swiss cabinet, known as the Federal Council, has consisted of seven members.

The Federal Council has been composed of the same political parties for more than 60 years. By common agreement Switzerland's four main parties divide the seven cabinet seats according to a set formula determined ultimately by their strength at the ballot box.

Consensus

The Federalin other countries might be divided up into multiple ministries.

The ministries are the following: the defense ministry; the economics ministry; the transport, environment, communications and energy ministry; the finance ministry; the foreign ministry; the justice and police ministry; and the interior ministry.

Presidency

The Swiss presidency is rotated annually. According to an unwritten agreement, cabinet ministers take turns serving as president of the confederation, with newer members waiting until seniors have served.

Even though the Swiss president chairs council meetings and represents the country at home and abroad, he or she is considered a "first among equals", and not a leader.

The head of state, formally speaking, is the Federal Council. Its seven members are not elected by the people but by parliament.

During state visits, foreign dignitaries are received by the Federal


Council as a whole, not by the minister serving as president.

Elections

The houses of parliament elect cabinet ministers in joint session. Parliament cannot remove cabinet ministers from office, nor can ministers dissolve parliament.

Each year in December, parliament elects a president and a vice president of the confederation.

In December of election years, when the newly elected parliament meets for the first time, each of the cabinet ministers is elected for a term of four years. There is a marked reluctance to remove ministers from office. It has happened only twice, the last time in 2003.

Cabinet ministers may not hold any other official positions or be members of parliament while serving. But, unlike the US president, they must and do take part in parliamentary debates, defending the government's standpoint in parliament.

Technically,every person who is entitled to vote can stand for election to the Federal Council. In reality, it is generally parliamentarians who are put forward, although representatives of cantonal governments have also been elected to the Federal Council.

Balance

The balancing of interests, languages and regions in the Federal Council is traditionally a key concern. A law banning more than one minister from the same canton from serving in the Federal Council was repealed in 1999. Today the constitution states merely that "geographical and linguistic regions must be appropriately represented".

As Italian-speaking Switzerland has not been represented in the cabinet for several years, the election chances of any prospective candidate from canton Ticino are automatically improved.

For a long time, it was an unwritten rule that the three largest cantons – Zurich,


Bern and Vaud – should be represented in the cabinet. In recent years, however, Geneva has taken precedence over Vaud.

As of 2009 only six women have ever served as cabinet ministers, and just two as president.

History

Established with the creation of the Swiss federal state in 1848, the Federal Council was given more responsibilities than its predecessors.

Initially, it was a one-party government, with all members belonging to the Radical party, which was victorious in the short civil war of 1847, and which created the present government system.

Despite this monopoly, the diversity of the country was taken into account in distributing cabinet seats, with two of the seven seats reserved for Catholics, and another two for non-German speakers.

In response to changing political realities, the one party system slowly made wayfor others.

In 1891 the centre-right Christian Democrats earned a seat, then were awarded a second one after the First World War. The predecessor to the rightwing Swiss People's Party got their first seat in 1929, and the centre-left Social Democrats in 1943.

"Magic Formula"

The election of two Social Democrats to the Federal Council in 1959 established the so-called "Magic Formula" 2-2-2-1, which meant two cabinet seats each for the Radicals, Christian Democrats and Social Democrats, and a single seat for the People's Party. This arrangement remained stable for more than 40 years.

The sharing out of cabinet seats was in effect just a reflection of the proportional strength of the main parties in parliament. The growing power of the People's Party in the past two legislatures has led to a

The North Western Fells occupy the area between the rivers Derwent and Cocker, a broadly oval swathe of hilly country, elongated on a north-south axis. Two roads cross from east to west, dividing the fells into three convenient groups. The central sector, rising between Whinlatter Pass and Newlands Pass, includes Wandope.

The highest ground in the North Western Fells is an east-west ridge in this central sector, beginning with Grasmoor above Crummock Water and then gradually descending eastwards over Crag Hill, Sail, Scar Crags and Causey Pike. Grasmoor has the greatest elevation, but Crag Hill stands at the hub of the range. It sends out a subsidiary ridge to the south west, stepping down over Wandope and Whiteless Pike toward Buttermere village.

Wandope is not prominent in views from below[1]


and from most directions appears subservient to its higher neighbours. The connection to Crag Hill is the broad plateau of Wandope Moss, sloping down easily to the west. On the opposite side is the striking feature of Addacomb Hole. This symmetrical hanging valley resembles a half crater, its headwall being 700 ft high.

The ridge south westward from Wandope is divided into two by Third Gill. The eastern branch is a short blunt ended spur, but the western arm narrows to the fine airy ridge of Whiteless Edge. This makes straight for the summit of Whiteless Pike across the col of Saddle Gate (2,065 ft). The flanks of the ridge are steep and rough throughout, but with more exposed rock to the east.

All of the run-off from the fellfinds its way ultimately to Crummock Water, the Derwent-Cocker watershed ignoring Wandope in favour of the onward connection from Crag Hill to Ard Crags. Sail Beck carries the water from the south and east, running out from between Knott Rigg and Whiteless Pike into Buttermere village. Addacomb Beck and Third Gill are the tributaries which mark the northern and southern boundaries of Wandope on this flank. To the north and west of the fell is Rannerdale Beck, disgorging its flow direct into the centre section of the lake.

The summit areas of Wandope are composed of the Ordovician Kirkstile Formation. This is the typical rock of the Skiddaw fells and is composed of laminated mudstone and siltstone. Beneath this are the Greywackesandstone turbidites of the Loweswater Formation. The Causey


David Freddoso: Obama breaks the promise of UPOD

On Monday, Illinois Senate candidate Mark Kirk, a Republican, announced that he had received an endorsement from Jim Owens, the chairman and CEO of Caterpillar Inc.

Who cares, right? “Businessman endorses Republican” has all the news value of “Dog bites man.” Owens is also a longtime Republican donor, which makes this even less of a story.

But Owens' endorsement evokes an early episode from the Obama presidency. In February 2009, Owens was proudly hosting Obama in Peoria. The newly inaugurated president was promoting his stimulus package, then valued at $787 billion.

Obama announced that he was not alone in believing that the stimulus would succeed in creating jobs. In fact, Owens was backing him up: “Yesterday,” Obama said, “Jim, the head of Caterpillar, saidCBS/New York Times poll showed that only 13 percent believed they had benefited from Obama's economic programs.

Obama's allies on health care reform have finally figured out that they should stop bragging about the cost-savings their reform bill will allegedly create in the health care sector — something few Americans ever believed in to begin with. A recent Rasmussen poll found that 61 percent expect the new law to make their own health care more expensive.

Obama's greatest legislative achievements suffer from his strong belief in their alleged benefits and the voters' lack thereof. Of his stimulus, Obamacare, and Wall Street reform, the first two are deeply unpopular. The third is irrelevant — only 2 percent of voters, according to the July CBS News poll, considered Wall Street reform to


Tzipi Livni cancelled her trip to Britain last month after an arrest warrant was issued against her

The Israeli military has called off a visit by IDF officers to the UK over fears that they could face possible war crimes charges.

Israeli officials reportedly feared possible arrest warrants over Israeli military operations in Palestinian territories.

They said the cancellation was made after British authorities could not guarantee their officers would not be arrested.

The Israel Defence Force declined to comment.

Last month, an arrest warrant was issued in London against Israeli politician Tzipi Livni, who was foreign minister during last year's Gaza war. The warrant was withdrawn after Ms Livni cancelled her trip.

Milan to continue spending spree, eyeing two European aces

Despite having already signed Bonucci, Silva, Rodriguez, and Çalhanoğlu; the Rossoneri want to recruit more players.

AC Milan’s aim to return to the top of European football has seen them spend big in the current summer transfer window. Several names have arrived at San Siro since the end of last season, with the likes of Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Andre Silva, Ricardo Rodriguez, and Leonardo Bonucci signing for the Rossoneri.

However, according to recent rumors, the Serie A giants aren’t stopping there. Milan are eyeing a reliable goalscorer, with their attention now on Alvaro Morata.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan are “on the verge” of signing Real Madrid’s wantaway striker. The Italian club have tabled a €70m bid for the Spaniard and theybelieve this fee to be enough to convince Los Blancos into selling.

Morata came close to a Premier League move. The former Juventus ace appeared destined for an Old Trafford switch, but Man United signed Lukaku instead, thus paving the way for Alvaro’s Serie A return.

The Rossoneri are also interested in another young and promising European ace: Renato Sanches. The 19-year-old has struggled at Bayern Munich despite arriving as a Euro 2016 winner.

The Portuguese youngster has only started six Bundesliga games and could thus be keen on a move elsewhere. Milan want the midfielder on a two-year loan, as confirmed by Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, with the option of making his stay permanent for €47m.

In June 1986, a pipe bomb was detonated in front of the local Women's Health Care Services clinic, ripping an eight-foot hole in the building and blowing debris into a creek 150 feet away. The blast occurred late at night, sparing any human carnage, but it capped years of explosive debate and constant protesting and counter-protesting. In the wake of the bombing, the owner of the clinic, Dr. George Tiller, continued to inflame passions with incendiary rhetoric.

Raines and the _Times_ never relented, producing one staggering edition after the next in the months to come. The reward was a record six Pulitzers for the 9/11 coverage.

In the May and June 1990 issues of _Golf Digest,_ Chambers wrote a groundbreaking two-part special report billed as "The Challenge Facing America's Private Clubs."

Chambers expertly surveyed the gathering forces—judicial, social, and economic—that were laying siege to the private respites of the privileged. (The issues highlighted in the stories differ from Burk's crusade; Chambers focused on discriminatory practices within clubs, like restricted tee times for women and unequal facilities between the sexes.

Adorable Dandie Dinmont terrier was second to English springer spaniel

OPINION

NEW YORK – English springer spaniel Felicity’s Diamond Jim was without doubt a worthy winner of best in show at the 131st Westminster Dog Show. But there’s no doubt that the Dandie Dinmont terrier Hobergays Fineus Fogg, commonly known to his friends and fans as Harry, was unanimously the people’s choice.

He was definitely mine.

He strutted his stuff on the green carpet and played to the adoring crowd doing everything in his own time. Even when he stopped to shake his coat into shape, the crowd roared its approval. He seemed to deliberately avoid eye contact with best in show judge Robert Indeglia.

Keller Williams and The Keels

By the time he actually got around to acting on it, George Bright's dream of hosting a free bluegrass festival on Chattanooga's waterfront was more than 30 years old.

A lifelong fan of the genre, Bright remembers reading a story in a mid-'70s issue of Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine about a free waterfront festival in Louisville, Ky. He immediately latched onto the idea.

"I was always kind of evangelical about bluegrass. I wanted everyone to understand how good it could be," Bright says. "I had it in my head even back then that, 'Boy, it'd be really fun to have a free festival in Chattanooga on the river.'"

Bright waited three decades to act, but after his family's real estate development firm, The Fletcher Bright Co., became corporatesponsors of the Nightfall concert series, he saw a chance to realize his ambition.

Seeing the work that Nightfall organizers Chattanooga Presents were doing with the concert series, Bright saw in them an ideal steward for his dream event. He approached his father, Fletcher, a local bluegrass fiddling legend in his own right, and pitched his plan.

"I walked into Dad's office and said, 'I have this idea to have a free bluegrass festival... and I know how we can fund it. What do you think?'" Bright recalls. "My father and I both make decisions pretty quick, and he said, 'Let's do it.'"

The younger Bright decided, half by default, to name the event after his three sisters, Elizabeth, Ann and Lucy. In 2007, the inaugural 3 Sisters Bluegrass Festival began


attracting an average of 5,000 people each year for two nights of free music at Ross's Landing.

The 10th iteration of the event will kick off this weekend with a traditional opening set by Fletcher Bright's now-70-year-old band Dismembered Tennesseans. The Bright patriarch and his bandmates will pave the way for the festival's headliners, who include Michigan-based progressive bluegrass outfit Greensky Bluegrass, genre-hopping musical nomad Keller Williams and virtuosic five-string banjo duo Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn.

Since 2007, 3 Sisters has established itself as a premiere event on the bluegrass musical circuit. In 2015, it was named by Great American Country Magazine as one of the nation's five best bluegrass festivals, an honor it shared with events such as Telluride Bluegrass Festival and MerleFest.

The event's lineup has consistently bookedmarquee bluegrass from both the progressive and traditional sides of the aisle. Over the years, its single stage has hosted a slew of vaunted artists, including Del McCoury, Hot Rize, Sam Bush, Yonder Mountain String Band and The Devil Makes Three.

"We like trying to present a really good, broad spectrum of what fits into that bluegrass label these days. That's broadened quite a bit even in the last 10 years," says Carla Pritchard, the founder of Chattanooga Presents, which manages the festival on behalf of the Bright family.

This year, Pritchard says, fans of a more traditional sound will flock to hear artists such as Gibson Brothers and Chatham County Line, and fans of genre-defying performances will be best served by the likes of Williams and Greensky Bluegrass. Hopefully,


Manchester City have denied accusations their players celebrated winning the Premier League with a chant relating to Liverpool fan Sean Cox or the Hillsborough tragedy.

A video emerged on social media on Tuesday which appeared to show City players and staff singing a distasteful version of Liverpool's 'Allez, Allez, Allez' song as they travelled on a plane following Sunday's victory at Brighton which clinched the title.

The song, which City fans had changed the lyrics to, makes reference to Liverpool fans "crying in the stands" and being "battered on the streets" at last year's Champions League final in Kiev, which Liverpool lost 3-1 to Real Madrid. It also contains the lyric "victims of it all".

Liverpool fan Cox was attacked by Roma supporters ahead of their Champions League semi-final at Anfield.

AManchester City statement insisted the song in question has been a regular chant during the 2018-19 season and refers to the 2018 UEFA Champions League final in Kiev.

Manchester City have denied accusations

"Any suggestion that the lyrics relate to Sean Cox or the Hillsborough tragedy is entirely without foundation," the statement added.

Reports also suggested the song referred to City captain Vincent Kompany injuring Mohamed Salah earlier in the season.

Liverpool have chosen not to comment on the video but Sean Cox's brother, Martin Cox, has said he is "disgusted" by the song and says it reminds him of his brother's attack.

"If I'm honest I'm disgusted," he told Radio City.

"Singing and chanting those words, it's like it gives the impression that it's okay for people to carry out attacks like that


Murder charges filed in case of missing League City woman

League City police have charged an ex-husband with first-degree murder after authorities discovered his former wife's body in his garage.

Shaun Hardy, who was arrested Friday and charged with tampering with evidence (corpse), is in the Galveston County Jail on $500,000 bail.

The body of Anne-Christine Johnson, a 30-year-old missing for three weeks, was found on Friday wrapped in plastic in Hardy's garage in the 600 block of Chesterfield.

"I am literally devastated right now," Stephanie Johnson, thewoman's mother, told the Houston Chronicle. "All that searching and she was right in the house."

Johnson disappeared on Dec. 8. Police say the last person to report seeing her alive was Hardy, who told police he saw her get into a car with a man he could not identify after she left Hardy's house.

After hunting for weeks, police had launched a new search Thursday at an undisclosed location for the missing waitress and mother of two.

scene, police got a second search warrant and found human remains.

"I can't speak on the condition of the remains or where in the house it was found," League City police spokesman Kelly Williamson told reporters.

FAMILY PAIN: Missing woman's mother clung to hope

The couple had had a volatile relationship with Johnson accusing Hardy of beating and choking her in a June 2015 request for a restraining order, telling the court that she feared Hardy could kill her. Hardy filed a request for a restraining order about the same time, accusing Johnson of physical abuse.

Hardy, through an attorney, has refused further interviews with League City police.

Stephanie Johnson said she'd already feared the worst.

Banzar is an instrument with a uniquely melodic range of five octaves. It has five string double bass that perfectly and lively make music epical. The double bass has 4-drone strings. In other words, the instrumental is all about strings. In addition, it has other strings referred to as sympathetic strings. The sympathetic strings have their own separate housing that helps contain tension in strings when playing the instrument. The housing is mounted on a double base or cello that is perfectly modified to hold the drone strings in good position.

Beside a couple of odd hums and murmurs, it drives much like other electric vehicles available. The humming of the power module as it pulls in oxygen from the encompassing air and siphons hydrogen in from the locally available tanks puts the action dimension of the vehicle a stage more intense than a customary battery electric vehicle, yet far beneath the normal cross breed vehicle.

Reliance Power wants Andhra Pradesh government to scrap PPA on power project

Coastal Andhra Power Limited (CAPL), a subsidiary of Reliance Power Limited, has written a letter to the Andhra Pradesh government requesting it to cancel the power purchase agreement (PPA) it had signed for its 4000 MW power project, a non-starter, at Krishnapatnam.

The official further said the government was yet to take a decision on the issue.

CAPL was awarded the Kishnapatnam UMPP in 2007 and the power produced by the project would be shared by five states -Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Earlier it was four states. Now, Telangana was added as it was carved out of Andhra Pradesh in June 2014.

Southern Power Distribution Company Ltd, a Andhra Pradesh government power utility, on behalf of power procurers of rest of the States had, in 2012, issued a notice to CAPL that it would encash the bank guarantee of Rs 300 crore as penalty besides terminating the contract as the project work has been stopped for more than three months. Citing high coal prices from Indonesia among others, the CAPL stopped the UMPP project

His aspirations for the right program in continuing theology education still simmered when he returned to lead a church in Orlando after graduating from Beeson in 1995.

Bates came across an article authored by two theologians based at the University of Texas at Arlington on exactly the kind of work he had been seeking: the study of the intersection between the classical world, the early church and modern culture.

“I thought, ‘Texas? I don’t want to go to Texas,’” Bates said.

In the spring of 2000, Bates finished his doctorate in the theology of language at UT Arlington and began teaching at Baptist Criswell College in Dallas where he stayed as a professor for eight years before moving to Patrick Henry College in Virginia and California Baptist University, where hetaught for the past 12 years.

A strong academic background and a history of serving the church were the primary qualifications HBU was looking for in a candidate to head the School of Christian Thought, said Jeffrey Green, the founding dean of the school and the chair of the philosophy department.

“I liked the interdisciplinary research aspect,” Green said. “And his attitude — how he’s ready to come here and roll up his sleeves and get to work.”

The school was founded in the fall of 2012, when the College of Arts and Humanities growth adversely affected the student to teacher ratio standard at the small university. The college became the School of Humanities, the School of Fine Arts and the School of Christian Thought.

The concentration of liquor outlets in an economically disadvantaged city in the northeastern United States.
This study reports data from a mapping analysis designed to assess the extent to which liquor outlets concentrate in certain neighborhoods within one economically disadvantaged midsized city in New Jersey. Four neighborhoods, which occupy one-quarter of the residential land mass of the city and which are home to one-quarter of its population, were found to contain over half of its retail liquor outlets. Three of these neighborhoods are very poor and have large minority populations. The neighborhood with the highest concentration of outlets, however, has one of the lowest levels of poverty in the city and is ethnically quite diverse.These are scary times in South Africa...

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – JANUARY 29: Former Bosasa Chief Operations Officer (COO) Angelo Agrizzi testifies at the commission of inquiry into state capture on January 29, 2019 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Angelo Agrizzi, on Friday, made his eleventh appearance before the Zondo commission, a record count for any witness that has been called to the hot seat thus far.

It seems, though, that this will be a crucial part of the inquiry, which is expected to run for a period of two years.

For the most part, Agrizzi’s testimony has uncovered the other side of government


that operates in darker, dingy corridors.

Angelo Agrizzi tells all once again

On Friday, the former chief operations officer (COO) of Bosasa (now trading as African Global Operations), sat down before Deputy Chief Justice, Raymond Zondo to continue giving evidence about his first-hand experience with a corrupt South African government.

On the back of a report by the special investigative unit (SIU) that found traces of evidence that suggested that there was a corrupt link between Bosasa and the government contracts they seemingly always won, Smith, who, at the time was the chairperson of the justice and correctional services portfolio committee, was seen as “a problematic MP” by Watson.

However, the rot ran deeper than that. Frolick, according to the former COO, received a monthly payment of R40 000, and he, yetagain, placed himself as an eye witness to one account where the money was stored in a grey security bag and shoved in the House chairperson’s pocket.

Agrizzi maintained, though, that Smith was a thorn on Bosasa’s flesh. He kept asking questions about the facilities management company.

He tried valiantly, according to Agrizzi, to counter and expose the company’s illegal activities but Frolick was there to deflect all attacks.

He also recalled a time when he was allegedly instructed by Watson to go hand over a package to his brother, Valence Watson, in Port Elizabeth. The package was to be handed over to Frolick by the CEO’s brother, Agrizzi claimed.

He also recalled another occasion when he and Gibson Njenje, the former director-general of the national intelligence agency (NIA), were sent to


a meeting in Parliament, Cape Town, with a highly irritable Smith. Agrizzi claimed the meeting “actually didn’t go well at all,”

However, the former COO would later claim that Smith was successfully turned, by either Frolick or other forces.

This, he said, was evident when, after he had recovered from a coma, he was assured, over the phone, by Watson that a case related to a shoddy contract with the department of correctional services came up. All parties, including Watson and Smith, agreed that the case ought to be thrown out.

Accommodating Minister Michael Masutha

Another shocking revelation Agrizzi made was the involvement of Michael Masutha, the minsiter of justice and correctional services, with the Watsons.

On one occasion, he testified, he was expected at a meeting between the Watson brothers and MasuthaHotel Nuovo Marghera Milan

Premier League The Spaniard is set to retire when he leaves Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta is expected to become part of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff when he takes over at Manchester City on July 1.

The 34-year-old is out of contract at the Emirates Stadium this summer and, despite an offer from Arsene Wenger to become part of his backroom team, as well as one from north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, the former Rangers man is all set for a switch to City.

His knowledge and experience of the English game, having played for Everton and then the Gunners over an 11-year period, has impressed Guardiola, who is preparing for a new challenge after three years at Bayern Munich.

The 52-year-old former Leicester City, Southampton and Hull City boss has agreed a three-year contract with the club. He will be joined on the coaching staff by former Rams’ favourite Chris Powell, who will take up the position of Assistant Manager.

Following an extensive end-of-season review carried out by the Board of Directors, Academy Director Darren Wassall will now return to his previous role.

After a successful playing career with Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday and Shrewsbury Town, East Midlands-born Pearson is best known for guiding Leicester City to the Premier League as Championship winners in 2013/2014 - and keeping the Foxes in the top flight the following season.

In a managerial career spanning over 400 competitive games, which


began with Carlisle United, Pearson has also acted as Caretaker Manager at West Bromwich Albion, Newcastle United and England Under 21s.

Following his appointment, Pearson said: "I am honoured to be named as the Manager of Derby County, which is one of the biggest clubs in the country, a club in excellent shape and one with strong ambitions. It is firmly focused on achieving Premier League football.

Chipper Jones named honorary race official for DAYTONA 500

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 14, 2018) - Former Atlanta Braves great and new Baseball Hall of Fame member Chipper Jones will serve as an Honorary Race Official for the 60th annual DAYTONA 500 on Sunday, Feb. 18 (FOX, FOX Deportes, MRN Radio and SiriusXM Radio), the opening race of the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season.

Jones, a native of nearby Pierson, Florida, was voted into the hall on Jan. 24, in his first year of eligibility. Considering his credentials, that was not surprising. During his 19-year career (1993-2012) - all with Atlanta - he posted a .303 career batting average, 468 home runs and 1,623 RBI. He was an eight-time All-Star and the National League's Most Valuable Player in1999. He led the Braves to three World Series appearances, winning the series in 1995. Jones rejoined the Braves' organization in 2015 as special assistant to baseball operations.

As part of his Honorary Race Official duties, Jones will be introduced at the drivers' meeting, participate in pre-race ceremonies, ride in one of the parade cars and take part in question-and-answer sessions in fan hospitality areas and the UNOH Fanzone.

"We're going to have one of the legendary stars of the 'National Pastime' join us for 'The Great American Race,'" said Daytona International Speedway President Chip Wile. "Chipper Jones was an obvious choice for the hall of fame this year. He's also a local hero. We're thrilled to welcome him back home for the DAYTONA 500."

$500,000 (Canadian) prize as part of the CCEMC (Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation) Grand Challenge: Innovative Carbon Uses grant competition. The announcement of the winners was made Tuesday, April 15.

The CCEMC Grand Challenge is a $35 million, three stage international grant competition aimed at identifying technologies that can convert carbon dioxide into valuable fuels or chemicals while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by one million tons or more per year.

In April 2007, the Canadian province of Alberta became the first jurisdiction in North America to pass climate change legislation requiring large emitters to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The CCEMC was created in 2009 to be a key part of Alberta's climate change strategy and movement toward a stronger and more diverse lower-carbon economy.

I think there are some excellent downhill skiing areas," added the astronaut. He recommended the Taurus-Littrow valley as a potential destination for a lunar ski resort. On recordings from the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972 Dr Schmitt describes his technique to fellow astronaut Gene Cernan: "Too bad I don't have my skis! ... Whoo! Can't keep my edges. Shhhoomp. Shhhoomp. Little hard to get a good hip rotation."

He said astronauts did not have to actually wear skis, although taking poles for balance would help. "Settlers are going to have a delightful time on the moon. I wish everybody could share that experience," he told the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Francisco.

Nasa is honing plans for its return to themoon by 2020, a mission designed as a staging post for sending people to Mars. The space agency intends to find ways of using fuel resources on the moon to avoid having to blast them into orbit from Earth. "We have to use the resources on the moon in order to be self-sufficient," said Peter Worden at Nasa's Ames Research Centre in California. "We want to use the moon to learn to live and work on Mars," said Wendell Mendell at Nasa's Johnson Space Centre in Houston.

The moon will also be an excellent site for siting powerful telescopes that can work without interference from dust in the Earth's atmosphere. Settlers will also have time to study the moon's surface for clues about the history of the sun and


how the solar system formed.

Although President George Bush and the US Congress have committed funds for the moon return mission, Dr Schmitt is convinced that a permanent base will have to be funded partly by the private sector. The 1967 international Outer Space Treaty prevents nations from claiming sovereignty over any celestial bodies, but does allow governments or investors to make money by using resources they gather in space. Nasa's plans are based on developing a new reusable Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) to replace the ageing space shuttle. It will carry four astronauts to and from the moon, and could take up to six people on future missions to Mars. A separate, methane-powered lander will take the four astronauts on a seven-day mission on the lunar surface whileConcord's Music and Market, special events offer free family fun
