I was actually pretty surprised to win because I know there are so many other talented athletes in my age group and I wasn't sure if I'd win," said Twerdun, 18, a basketball and track and field athlete who graduated from Fort Richmond Collegiate in June. "He's a pretty accomplished athlete and it's an honour to be a recipient with him," said [Matthew Livingston], who will enter the University of Winnipeg in September. "We feel very strongly that the scholarship is a strong support mechanism for our athletes in their scholastic endeavour. We've got the university-level scholarship and one for graduating high school athletes.
Threshold effects in consumer response to price promotions are usually explained as insensitivity to small differences between an observed price and an internal reference price. In this research, we develop an alternative mechanism whereby the threshold effect arises from consumer uncertainty of the normal reference price, rather than from insensitivity to small gains and losses. We compare two variations of this mechanism with the usual insensitivity-based promotion threshold mechanism. We find that a risk-hurdle mechanism has the best empirical support, as well as desirable theoretical characteristics. Such a mechanism implies that (a) promotion strategies that assume insensitivity to small changes may be problematic; (b) tactics that influence consumer uncertainty can affect brand ...
The Conservatives have insisted their original plan from the fall to introduce mandatory regulations to crack down on pollution from industry is sufficient. But the opposition parties have argued that the plan does not require any absolute reductions in emissions for about 15 years, and they have used their majority on a special Commons committee to introduce tougher targets into the government's legislation, along with new penalties or fines for companies that do not comply. There's no requirement under (Liberal Leader) Stephane Dion's plan for anyone to ever reduce a single megatonne of greenhouse gases," [John Baird] said last week. "It's not a compliance mechanism that the Liberals voted for and support and we think it's the wrong way to go. We're going to come forward with some ad...

To win Canadians' acceptance, the prime minister launched a major public relations offensive claiming that rising U.S. protectionism put two million Canadian jobs at risk. At the same time, [Brian Mulroney] dismissed the GATT as too slow and ineffective to protect those two million jobs and no alternative to a bilateral free trade agreement guaranteeing "secure access" to U.S. markets through a "binding disputes settlement mechanism." He also repealed the former Liberal government's Employment Support Act, legislation passed during the Nixon era to ensure federal support for industries facing U.S. trade surcharges. [Stephen Harper] was "snookered" by the [George W. Bush] administration, says [Gordon Gibson]. "We were within months of winning, finally and decisively, in a U.S. (not free ...

All of the cases involved were at least three years old, with requests for retroactivity going back to 1997. They finally hit the Supreme Court last year. The judges said courts should give agreements reached by parents "considerable weight" and should be adjusted only with care, regarding the whole picture of the families. This indicates parents should take equal care in setting support agreements. Indeed, there is a way parents can avoid protracted court battles about whether support payments ought to be adjusted. The 1997 federal guidelines included a mechanism for income review. Indeed, the Supreme Court noted there is good evidence that automatic recalculation is a reasonable solution. However, most provinces have not established the services necessary to recalculate support paymen...
The consistency of the results was described as "virtually incontrovertible proof" that this genetic change on chromosome 8 is associated with a modest but real increase in the risk of colon cancer as well as prostate cancer and perhaps more forms of the disease. At least to our knowledge, this is the first common genetic risk factor that has been reproducibly associated with risk of multiple cancers," said Christopher Haiman, from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California and lead author of the American paper. "Now the association observed with this variant in prostate and colorectal cancer provides very strong support for the hypothesis that there may be a common biological mechanism underlying cancer risk in this region of the genome.
A second purpose of the current study was to extend the claim that both SS and RR effects are involved in the [Stroop] task by including a new manipulation that can demonstrate RR effects in the absence of SS effects. Manipulations of this type have been successfully performed elsewhere (De Jong, Liang, & Lauber, 1994; [Kornblum, Stevens] et al., 1999; Zhang & Komblum, 1998). [Zhang] and Kornblum presented distracter words both above and below a middle target word. The targets and distracters could be selected from one of two stimulus sets, either colour names or digits. In some blocks, participants gave a mediated verbal response, saying an assigned word from one stimulus set (e.g., digit names) in response to a target from the opposite stimulus set (e.g., colour names). For ex...
