Finally got an XSL transform to work properly in Cooktop. The problem was that the standard XSLT engine (MSXML) used in the program didn't work properly. A Microsoft product that doesn't work properly? What were you thinking, Owen. Remember - Microsoft = "Criminal Enterprise." Think "Bustout"
Switching to Sablotron solved the problem.

Ageism
This story is interesting - because as usual the government addresses a problem wrongheadedly. What about the forty year olds (hell the thirty-seven year olds) being discriminated against.
In the US, age discrimination can be applied to anyone above forty (including over 65). In Canada it can only apply to those between 45 and 65.
Incidentally the unemployment rate for women 55-64 given in the article (5.6%) is lower than the current national unemployment rate of 6.8%.

Herald Line,
From the subscription only part of the opinion section: Column from the Toronto Star Health Care looks like its going private in Canada. Lets face it, the Hippocratic Oath is a joke - doctors do harm to patients just by showing up to work. They have joined the lawyers - the best way to improve the general health of North America is to "kill em 'all." (For the morons out there, this is not a death threat, its an allusion to a quote from Shakespeare). I can almost guarantee that the new private health-care system is going to be driven by "fake" user-fees. By fake I mean that they will be compulsory, in that you will have no choice as to whether to pay them or not. In other words, new taxes. I find it hard to read opinion pieces in the paper - they assume democracy, which is long gone.
Another health care piece - "What's really needed is better management" - More Health Care - Among the ways the Ontario government has cut health care costs is to cut medical school enrollment. Good plan, Mike! Thank God you're going back to golfing.
