Howard,
Thanks - loved it :-)

I tracked down the U-Calgary press release.  Added another URL as well
(below)
I'm amazed at two things done by the reporters: [perhaps Steward Fist

- The UC press release is not cited/linked on the page.
- The similarity of the article constructed. [but could be plagiarism or
a common 'wire story']
