The theme for the week-long event is “Our Class-rooms are the World,”accenting the strong cultur-al diversity of Manitobaclassrooms.

Flood closes Ness AvenueNess Avenue has beenclosed due to water creep-ing over the street Sundaynight.
Sturgeon Creek is surg-ing due to spring run-offand the weekend’s precipi-tation, leading to the roadclosure. Winnipeg Transitbuses and traffic were di-verted yesterday morning.

Apparently, winning real-ly is everything.
An informal surveydone by the Metro Win-nipeg newsroom revealsthat actor Charlie Sheenis more recognizable thanall the wannabe PMs.
We asked local ’Peggersif they could recognizeany of the five pictures wepresented to them, fourof which were the partyleaders for the upcomingfederal election, and thefifth was the profanity-laden, crazy-talk-spewing,recently fired touring ac-tor Sheen.
Based on recognitionalone, Sheen would winin a landslide, with onlyone person unable toidentify the actor.
Both Stephen Harperand Michael Ignatieffwere recognized by many,while Jack Layton andElizabeth May roundedout the bottom of the five.
Participants weremarked correct if theycould identify the leaderor the party they be-longed to.

The Conservatives haveopened a double-digit leadover the Liberals in the lat-est poll — and are knockingon majority’s door.
The new Canadian PressHarris-Decima survey sug-gests Stephen Harper’s par-ty stands at 40 per cent, 12points ahead of the Liberals,heading into the first of twotelevised leaders’ debates.
The NDP was at 15 percent, with the Bloc Québé-cois and the Greens trailingat eight per cent.
Last week, the two topparties were only sevenpoints apart with the Toriesleading 35 to 28 per cent.
The latest sampling ofvoter intentions suggestsLiberal gains during thefirst week of the campaignmight have been a short-term setback.
The telephone survey of1,018 people was taken be-tween April 7 and 10, andthe results are consideredaccurate to within plus orminus 3.1 percentagepoints, 19 times out of 20.
The findings do not take
into account the latest con-troversy to hit the Harpergovernment, that is, yester-day’s leaked draft reportpointing to possible spend-ing irregularities during lastJune’s G8 summit.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Tories misled House: ReportThe opposition calls it ex-plosive: a bombshell draftreport by Canada’s auditorgeneral, complete withcharges of pork-barrellargesse, dubious govern-ment spending and a “mis-informed” Parliament.
The Conservatives call ita dud.
Either way, the earlydraft of Sheila Fraser’sforthcoming report, a chap-ter of which was shown toThe Canadian Press, prom-ises to rattle podiums todaywhen the televised leaders’debates get underway.
Fraser’s confidential Jan.13 draft says the govern-ment misinformed Parlia-ment to win approval for a$50-million G8 fund thatlavished money on ques-
tionable projects in Indus-try Minister Tony Clement’sriding.
And it suggests theprocess by which the fund-ing was approved may havebeen illegal.
Conservative cabinetminister John Baird insistedyesterday that the final re-port differs from the draft— most notably in that itdoesn’t say the government“misinformed” Parliament.
“The report has changed
considerably,” said Baird.The draft says a local “G8
summit liaison and imple-mentation team” — Indus-try Minister Tony Clement,the mayor of Huntsville,Ont., and the general man-ager of Deerhurst Resort,which hosted the summit— chose the 32 projectsthat received funding, with-out apparent regard for theneeds of the summit or theconditions laid down by thegovernment.
It was common knowl-edge the Conservativeswere “spraying moneyaround like drunken sailorsin Tony Clement’s riding”in the leadup to the G8meetings, said LiberalLeader Michael Ignatieff.
“What we didn’t know isthat they lied to Parlia-ment,” Ignatieff said.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canada’s economy willgrow by 2.8 per cent thisyear, up from an earlierforecast of 2.3 per cent,the International Mone-tary Fund said yesterdayas it warned the world isfacing new threats fromsurging oil prices, Mideastturmoil, higher inflationin China and Europe’sdebt woes.
In the face of thesechallenges, the IMF low-ered its expectations forCanada for 2012 to 2.6 percent compared with 2.7per cent in an earlier fore-cast. The Canadian econo-my grew 3.1 per cent in2010.
Meanwhile, the globaleconomy should grow 4.4
per cent this year. Thatcompares with growth offive per cent last year. TheIMF projects industrialcountries will grow 2.4per cent while developingcountries, a group that in-
cludes China, will growmore than twice as fast at6.5 per cent.
“The world economicrecovery is gainingstrength, but it is unbal-anced,” said Olivier Blan-chard, the IMF’s chiefeconomist.
Blanchard said it is crit-ical for countries runninglarge government deficits,such as the United States,to make progress in get-ting those deficits undercontrol. At the same time,countries with large tradesurpluses, such as China,need to do more to boostdomestic demand and notrely so heavily on exportsto generate economicgrowth. THE CANADIAN PRESS

BP STANDS FOR BIG POCKETS
BP buysGulf Coastmillions in gearIn the year since the oilspill on the Gulf of Mexi-co, officials along thecoast have gone on aspending spree with BPmoney, dropping tens ofmillions of dollars ongadgets and other gear —much of which had littleto do with the cleanup,an investigation shows.
The oil giant openedits chequebook while thecrisis was unfolding lastspring and poured hun-dreds of millions of dol-lars into Gulf Coastcommunities.
In sleepy OceanSprings, Miss., reserve po-lice officers got Tasers.Nearby Gulfport bought a$300,000 vacuum truckthat never sucked up a
drop of oil. A parish presi-dent in Louisiana boughtherself a deluxe iPad. Themayor of Biloxi allegedlyused BP money to buy anew Chevrolet Tahoe toreplace the five-year-oldmodel he drove on citybusiness.
In every case, commu-nities said the new equip-ment was needed to dealat least indirectly withthe spill. In manyinstances, though, lots ofmoney wound up incities and towns that nev-er even saw oil from thedisaster.
All told, BP PLC says ithas paid state and localgovernments more than$754 million US, and hasreimbursed Washingtonan additional $694million US. The contractsrequire states to providethe company with atleast an annual report onhow the money has beenused. But it’s unclearwhat consequences, ifany, the states could faceif they don’t comply.

Bring apple fora teacher, snackfor a judgeIf you have to face a judge, try forfirst thing in the morning or right af-ter lunch. A new study suggests thatis when they are most lenient. Seek-ing to test the idea that justicedepends on “what the judge ate forbreakfast,” researchers studied 1,112rulings by Israeli judges who werepresiding over boards decidingwhether to grant parole to prisoners.
“We find that the likelihood of a
favourable ruling is greater at thevery beginning of the work day or af-ter a food break than later in the se-quence of cases,” the researchersreport in today’s edition of Proceed-ings of the National Academy of Sci-ences.
They found that at the beginningof a court session about 65 per centof the rulings tended to be in favourof the prisoner, but the chance of afavourable ruling declined to near ze-ro by the end of the session. After abreak for a meal, favourable rulingsfor the prisoners jumped back up toabout 65 per cent, and then began de-clining again. And the pattern heldtrue for each of the eight judges ob-served over 50 days, they noted.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

I’m not what you would call technologicallyinclined. I collect old typewriters, scribble allmy appointments in a moleskin notebookand every cellphone I buy malfunctions just afew days after the warranty expires.
But as much as I hate technology, I hate be-ing out of the loop even more. And so, thisweekend I reluctantly downloaded LivePro-file — a new instant messaging app for myBlackBerry. Do I need yet another way tohost multiple conversations on my mobile?
Of course not. And, yet, it would appear that our generation’s vo-
racious appetite for instant messaging still hasn’tbeen satisfied. This latest cross-platform service quick-ly surged to one million users in just five days afterlaunching an app for BlackBerry users at the end ofMarch.
So if you were having trouble connecting with mevia BBM, SMS, Gmail chat, Facebook, Skype, LinkedIn,Twitter, email and, oh yea, the actual telephone, thereis now a brand new way to reach me on whateversmartphone of choice you have glued to your sweatypalm. Ironically, the more ways there are to stay incontact, the less connected I feel.
My desire to join the conversation (wherever itmight be) means that quality correspondence givesway to compulsion. I routinely experience phantomvibrations (Google it) and like Pavlov’s poor canine, Istart salivating at the very sight of a blinking red light.
The pressure to keep up with the rapid dialoguethese technologies facilitate diminishes our ability tonurture meaningful relationships. We let cellphonesbecome the intrusive third wheel on dinner dates andscan status updates and online photo albums insteadof planning face-to-face catch-up sessions.
So, has this brave new world of mobile messagingleft us entirely out of touch with reality? Maybe not.
Last week I received a handwritten letter from along-distance friend. This small note probably tookher less than 20 minutes to compose, seal, stamp andmail and yet it was infinitely more meaningful than20 days worth of instant messaging.
I read it over no less than three times beforecarefully placing the pages on a pin board in my bed-room — a much more tangible keepsake holder thanmy virtual catalogue on Pintrest.com.
I’ll preserve the letter like an ancient relic of a timegone by to remind myself that every once in a whilethere is real value in going offline. Because maintain-ing a constant stream of texts, tweets, pins and postsdoesn’t really seem like networking anymore, it justseems like work.

A religious fattening
Something about religionmakes people fatter.
New research in Chica-go has found that youngpeople who do religiousactivities at least once aweek are twice as likely tobecome obese at middleage as those with no reli-gious involvement.
“It is likely that the reg-ular intake of traditional,calorie-rich comfort foodsat religious gatherings ispartially responsible forthe greater risk of obesitythat we found,” lead re-searcher Matthew Fein-stein told Metro.
Feinstein and col-leagues from the North-western UniversityFeinberg School of Medi-cine kept track of the reli-gious habits and weights
of 2,433 young men andwomen for 18 years.
At the beginning of thestudy subjects were be-tween age 20 and 32, andall were a normal weight.
Several religions wereincluded: Protestants,Catholics, Muslims andJews. Those who had ahigh frequency of religiousparticipation (attending atleast once a week) were 50per cent more likely to beobese by middle age.
Which comes first? Reli-gion or obesity?
This study establishesthat something connectedto the high religious in-volvement is associatedwith weight gain overtime, not that obese peo-ple take up religion.
Feinstein suggests reli-gious groups should usetheir get-togethers to edu-cate the faithful about pre-venting obesity throughbetter nutrition and regu-lar physical activity.
The data were present-ed at an American HeartAssociation scientific ses-sion in Atlanta, Ga.
The people in the studywere part of a larger studycalled the Coronary ArteryRisk Development inYoung Adults. The objectof the study was to findout which groups are athigher risk for obesity, andtherefore diseases and ear-lier death.
New study finds that those withhigh religious participation weremore likely to be obese Blameplaced on calorie-rich comfort food
A new study found people with higher religious participation were more prone
to being obese.

Could kids be to blame fornew parents’ bad healthhabits? A study found thatmothers of young childrenwere heavier and ate morecalories, sugary drinks andfatty foods than childlesswomen. Dads and momsin the study were less ac-tive than their peers with-out kids.
“This isn’t a study aboutblame,” said co-author Jeri-
ca Berge, a University ofMinnesota researcher.“This is about identifying... a very high-risk time pe-riod” for parents that doc-tors should be aware of sothey can offer solutions,she said.
That may include dietadvice, parent-child exer-cise classes, or just gettingparents to take walks withtheir kids, the researchers
said. The study involved1,520 adults aged 25 on av-erage, including parentswith children youngerthan five years old. Theywere among more than4,000 Minneapolis-areapublic school students en-rolled in a study in theirteens; the new study in-cludes those who respond-ed to followup surveys. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In conjunction with treatments such as IVF, it can beused as a natural tool to enhance fertility and increase
your chances of conceiving
About one-third of infertil-ity issues are said to bedown to the women, andstruggling to conceive re-mains very much a taboosubject in a world wherewe believe we can haveanything — including ba-bies on demand. But awoman’s body must to beready both physically andmentally in order to act asthe baby’s incubator fornine months.
The most commoncause of infertility is dys-functional ovulation, themonthly releasing of eggs.
Issues such as stress orhormonal imbalances cancause irregularity or alto-gether stop this process.
Yoga teacher Jane Kerselexplains how the mount-ing pressure from the con-stant need to try for a babycan become overpoweringand verging on obsessive.
“A woman can enter apushy mindset of ‘this hasto happen,’ impacting thecouple intimately andturning sex into littlemore than a baby-makingtool. You can’t conceive ababy like you set up aboard meeting,” she says.
Going through infertili-ty issues is stressful, andwhen we are stressed,some feel that their bodybetrays them. We breatheshallowly and the bodyholds on to the fear andstores this as stress, saysNatalie Engler, a practi-tioner of restorative yoga.
“Stress releases the hor-mone cortisol, and high
levels of this may interferewith reproductive hor-mone function responsiblefor ovulation and healthygynecological function,”she adds.
The body sees stress asan invader, signalling tothe body that now is not agood time to get pregnant.As an ancient practice de-veloped at a time whenpeople didn’t separate thebody from the mind, yogaacts as a trigger for relax-ation.
“In yoga, the body andmind continuum is insepa-rable,” explains yogi Dr.Robin Saraswati Tiberi,whose teaches classes fo-cused on fertility.
“Stress makes our bio-logical clock age faster soby reducing stress, yogahelps control this prema-ture ageing.”

Indian food gets a healthy makeoverBal Arneson’s new cookbook puts a modern twist on classic Indian fare
Many Canadians believethat Indian food is fatten-ing and full of cream, butBal Arneson is out to cor-rect those misconceptions.
“To speed preparation,many Indian restaurantsfind it easier to add creamand fat to their dishes suchas butter chicken,” shesays.
Growing up in a villagein Punjab, India, the moth-er of two who lives withher husband, Brad Arne-son, in Port Coquitlam,B.C., learned from the ageof nine to cook healthyfood.
“In my village, creamand butter were neverused on a daily basis. They
are considered luxuriesand were used only duringfestivals and special occa-sions like weddings.”
In fact, Arneson says,recipes were simple andvegetarian.
“We ate beans andlentils, fruits, vegetablesand herbs and spices fromour own gardens.”
In her second book,Bal’s Quick and HealthyIndian (Whitecap, $29.95,paperback), Arneson pres-ents the health benefits ofeating classic Indian mealswith a modern twist.
For example, she takesMini Bison Patties and in-fuses them with mango,ginger, fennel seeds and
ground cumin as well asturmeric masala.
She blends maple syrupand cardamom, cumin andginger and brushes themix on grilled salmon.
Because these spices areso pungent purchased inseed form, she crushes theseeds in a coffee grinderand uses them immediate-ly “because once they’reopened and turned intopowder that’s when theshelf life starts ticking.”
Bal suggests when pur-chasing Indian spices insmall quantities, it’spreferable to buy them atIndian grocery stores.
“I often buy them insmall bags from bulk bins
and throw them in thefreezer so the flavour staysintact,” she says.
To keep her food costsdown, Bal will occasionallydo a big shopping trip andbuy beans, lentils and rice(preferably brown organic)and large bags to make ro-tis. These are an unleav-ened griddle-baked breadnot unlike crepes.
There is an abundanceof recipes in this book forsalads, soups, roasts, chick-en dishes, vegetable andmeat entrees as well as In-dian-inspired desserts.
Arneson now appearsregularly on Food NetworkCanada hosting Spice God-dess. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Sometimes people feelthe need to protecttheir net worth fromtheir partner. Per-
haps there’s a great dispari-ty between assets or incomeor this is a second marriage.Children from a previousunion might be involved orone partner could own abusiness. Other times; thereare trust issues. Generally,whatever is accumulatedduring a marriage or a rec-ognized common-law unionis considered communityproperty and would be di-vided equally during di-vorce and separationproceedings.
But, tools such as cohabi-tation and prenuptial agree-ments can be signed priorto joining households.
These papers define rights,obligations and how eachpartner wants to own theirassets if the union ends.
Regardless of your per-sonal view, take an invento-ry of all your assets prior tomarriage or moving in.Sometimes asset values (orentitlement) can get blurredthrough divorce and separa-tion proceedings. By havinga clear record of what youown and its value (use anappraiser if you need to andkeep your receipts), assetvalues will be very clear.
The alternative to havinga legal agreement is com-plying with divorce and sep-aration laws, which canhave some very unintendedand uncontrollable out-comes.

PRE-NUPTIAL PANIC?Rememberwhat it feltlike to be sentto the princi-pal’s office?There you sat,terrified of
the consequences, fearingyour parents would be toldof your transgression andconvinced that life, as youknew it, had come to anend.
Fast forward into adult-hood and even a merequery from the CanadaRevenue Agency is enoughto put you right back onthat hard chair, stomachchurning, as you waitedfor an audience with theprincipal.
Whether it is a query, are-assessment or a full-blown audit, H & R Block
offers seven tips to helpyou get through it.
Deal with it: Don’t ignorethose brown CRA en-velopes. Open. Read. Act.And if you get a phone callreturn it promptly. Stick-ing your head in the sanddefinitely does not workwith the CRA.
Meet thedeadlines:Whether it’sa request formoving ex-penses orproof of
childcare costs, there willbe a deadline which youshould note in big red let-ters on your calendar.Otherwise you risk re-as-sessment and denial of theclaim or credit. Howeverthe CRA will often extenda deadline if you call in ad-vance.
Find your paperwork: TheCRA will not be sym-pathetic if you pleaddisorganization. Lostor missing paperworkwill only make theprocess longer and
the likelihood ofunfavourable
reassessmentgreater.
Ignoretips fromfriends:Yourfriend
may beclaiming a
boat on a lake
up north somewhere as anemployment expense butdon’t be tempted to followsuit. Same goes for thingssuch as cell phones. Em-ployment expenses can on-ly be claimed with formT2200 and must be includ-ed in your employmentcontract.
Pay up front: Pay any balance after a re-assessment immediately.You can file a Notice of Ob-jection if you disagree. Ifyou are successful you’ll berefunded the money and ifnot you’ll have avoided in-terest charges during theprocess.
Stand up for yourself: The CRA can be heavyhanded. If you feel theCRA treatment has beenunreasonable or unfaircomplain to the Taxpayers’Ombudsman Office whichensures the Taxpayers’ Billof Rights is being upheld.

and photo, and the rest, asthey say, is history. Wechatted online and on thephone for about six weeksbefore we met in person.Kelly has a daughter, Kas-sidy, so she was very cau-tious; she wanted to besure I wasn't a creep! Inthose conversations, wediscovered that we had alot in common and evenstarted to finish each oth-er’s sentences! Kelly actu-ally canceled our first date
out of nervousness; shethought things were toogood to be true and thatone of us would be disap-pointed. Fortunately, Imanaged to talk her intoit, and when we finally didmeet, it was incredible!

I’m in a great relationshipwith my girlfriend of 3 years.Lately though, I’ve beenhanging out with her friendwho now works for the samecompany I do. My girlfriend isok with it, and nothing’s go-ing on, but her friend’s a littleflirtatious. Is it still ok to hangout as long as no moves aremade?-Want to Do the Right Thing
Claire: Dear DTRT,Tick tock...tick tock. That’sthe sound of a bomb wait-ing to blow, my friend. Ifyou’re uncomfortableenough to ask whether ornot a line’s being crossed,then maybe you shouldback off. If you really likehanging out with her pla-tonically, make yourselfmore comfortable. Firststep is to avoid those inti-
mate one-on-ones. Go outfor lunch in groups, avoidher when drunk at the of-fice Christmas party. Everynow and then, talk abouthow great your girlfriendis. Mention how you speakto her in weird baby voic-es, and what your next va-cation together will belike. Keep the ventingstrictly for boys and beer.Sometimes we send mixedsignals because we are at-tracted to the other personon some level, so make heras unattractive to you aspossible. I once had an ill-advised crush, and gotover it by focusing on hisabnormally long nostrils.Works like a charm, unlessyou’re into freaky nostrils.
Andrea: Andrea may be myhalf sister, but we are in
full agreement on thisone. The fact that you’deven write this is a signthat you’ve thought aboutit going further (which isnormal, but dangerous).We spend more time atwork than we do at home(how depressing is that?),so it’s fair to say you couldend up spending a lotmore time with Flirt Cen-tral, than with your actualgirlfriend. It’s that stereo-typical slippery slope thatstarts with her stoppingby your desk to borrow aPost-It, and ends with youimagining her on yourdesk, doing things thathave nothing to do withPost-Its. Resist the urge,that oh-so-tempting-and-understandable urge toflirt back, and no, ofcourse I’m not saying thisbecause this is exactlycompletely and totallyhow my ex became my ex,and is now married to hisPost-It hungry colleague.Course not. Nope. So,since you asked, the rulesare: group lunches only,burp often and loudly,scratch often and blatant-ly, and swear like a rabidtrucker.

As familiar as warmweather and rain is an ap-pearance by the DetroitRed Wings in the StanleyCup playoffs.
For the past 13 seasonsthey have been joined bythe New Jersey Devils, butthat has changed becausethe one constant team inthe Eastern Conferencedidn’t measure up thisyear. Detroit’s dominancedates even further: Notsince 1990 have the RedWings sat out the race forthe Cup.
Captain Nicklas Lid-strom, in his 19th NHLseason, has seen it all.Throughout his surelyHall of Fame career, Lid-strom has worn only awinged wheel sweater andhas never missed the play-offs.
He got a bit of a scarelast year when Detroitqualified as a No. 5 seed.But Lidstrom and the RedWings still managed toreach the second roundwith a tough seven-gameseries win over thePhoenix Coyotes — theirfirst-round opponentagain.
“Having been with sucha good organization for 20years, and being part of awinning tradition here,you almost take it forgranted,” Lidstrom said.“Last year was the hardest
one where we really hadto focus and get somewins and had our backs upagainst the wall for prettymuch the whole season.”
During this 20-seasonrun, Detroit has capturedthe Cup four times andbeen to the finals in twoother years.
The Central Divisionchampions own the No. 3seed this time. If they ad-vance past Phoenix again,they could pose a seriousthreat to the Presidents’Trophy-winning Vancou-ver Canucks and the sec-ond-seeded San JoseSharks, who are still seek-ing their first trip to thefinals.
The Canucks have beenknocked out in the secondround by Chicago in twoconsecutive years. TheBlackhawks rode last sea-son’s win all the way tothe Stanley Cup title andwill likely have confidenceagain when they take onVancouver in the firstround. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
