The dogs would be left picketed (tied to a stake or on a long chain) and the ice would melt and they were left in water and starving," she said. Diseases like rabies and distemper were also epidemic in the dogs, so they "became a threat to every other dog," she said. "This is why the RCMP shot them. "I believe the lawyers started (the controversy)," [Montcombroux] said. "The lawyers said, 'Well, they shot your dogs. Therefore, you are entitled to compensation.' " "In villages of northwest Greenland, there are 2,000 people and 10,000 dogs," he said. "Their entire means of land transport is the dogs -- no snow machines, no four-wheelers. They actually have a cultural prohibition against snowmobiles in order to maintain their connection to the land, and so they don't lose their young peo...
WINNIPEG Children's Hospital yesterday announced a $750,000 expansion of its asthma and allergy education centre to provide enhanced and timely treatment for children. Dr. Allen Becker, an allergist and immunologist at the Children's Hospital, said the planned expansion is desperately needed to help combat an "epidemic" of asthma and allergic diseases now afflicting children. We need that program in Manitoba," [Kelvin Goertzen] said yesterday. "The minister has lots of excuses, but the bottom line is that he does not even know how many people are out there who have breached bail or conditional sentences.

A pandemic is essentially an epidemic that goes around the world," Dr. Tim Booth, director of the viral diseases division at the National Microbiology Laboratory on Arlington Street, told social studies teachers during the annual Special Area Groups (SAG) teachers' in-service. With fears that avian flu could spread to humans, or some new strain could appear out of nowhere, "The role of the lab is to be the first to detect that, so we can prepare," Booth said. As bad as the Spanish flu was, "The sky will not fall in -- people did not starve in 1918, there was plenty of food, and we have a lot more weapons now," Booth said.

In general, the allocation of human capital, like individual education, skills and performance, being the strongest predictors for the direction and pace of integration of immigrants in the past, may become less important, while the social capital of already existing 'strong ties' in the receiving context, of transnational family and kinship systems, may become increasingly important, possibly being the predominant predictors for the relative success of immigrant groups in the future. Whereas children satisfy parent's needs for economic well-being and social esteem, especially in less affluent societies with few alternatives of security against the risks of life, children remain an important source of affective solidarity and lifelong bonding in welfare societies and a target of intens...

It is true that emergency workers face many risks. The risk of infection from communicable diseases understandably causes extreme anxiety to both workers and their families. Fortunately, the risk of HIV infection in occupational settings is very low. There is an estimated 0.3 per cent chance of HIV infection as a result of a direct, under-the-skin exposure to HIV-positive blood. All other exposures -- such as bites or contact with a bodily fluid from a person whose HIV status is unknown -- carry an even lower risk. So low that since the beginning of the HIV epidemic 27 years ago, there has been only one documented case in Canada of an HIV infection acquired through a workplace exposure. Nevertheless, we regularly hear about the anxiety of emergency workers over the risk of contracting ...
