I’ve been working at the Star as a Web editor since 2001.
In 2005, colleagues Brett Smith, Chris Carter and I started to explore the possibilities of the Google Maps API as a news tool for thestar.com:
We had one of the first homicide maps on a North American news Web site, in early 2005. Later, we started mapping home towns of Canadians killed in Afghanistan and marijuana grow houses busted in the city. We were the first in the city to link to live traffic camera images on an interactive map.
Our splash page for the last provincial election was built around a Google Map, which for the first time displayed polygons, or two-dimensional shapes.
For all that, we’ve barely scratched the possibilities of the medium, which brings us to Map of the Week. The concept is that the weekly maps will work as stand-alone features, not necessarily connected to a story or to content in the paper, though opportunities to link them would be exploited as they arise, as I expect they will.

Can a people over 65 get the seasonal and H1N1 shot at the same time next week at 850 Coxwell?

It's unacceptable that the clinics don't open until November 2nd. Durham's open on Oct 26th

when you buy coffee, the lady has taken a hundred other people's dirty money, pours you a coffee, then presses her whole hand over the coffee to fasten the lid. Next you drink from the paper coffee cup and who knows if that is how you got H1N1.
If a waiter or waitress served you a drink with their hands all over the rim of the glass - would you drink from it ? No Way. It is highly possible, that the spread of H1N1 is from dirty hands touching your paper coffee cup - from people handling dirty money.

If you don't think it's safe to drink coffee at a coffeeshop, brew your own. Don't be a nuisance to other people. Do you wash your hands every time after you touch your dirty keyboard/mouse or handling cash?

With the tragic death of two healthy kids in the GTA many have changed their tune from viewing this as all overblown to realizing that we are potentially going pay the price for the disarray and underfunding of Toronto public health.
There are 10 clinics serving a population of about 2.5 million people? If we want to vaccinate about 2/3rds = 1,666,700 people. Each of 10 clinics has to vaccinate 166,670 people over 2 weeks = 83,335 people per week. Each clinic is open 36 hours per week = 2,315 vaccinations per hour. Obviously this not going to happen.

My Wife just returned from Scarborough Civic Centre and she was told there are no H1N1 shots being given there.

Why don't ALL the people that are administering the flu vaccine wear
disposable gloves.
Like, are there no precautions in this very serious outbreak. ?????
WHAT IS GOING ON

I wish people would get all the facts before having anything injected into their blood stream. Check with your homeopath first and remember nothing is free. Does anyone remember that the Government is in bed with the Drug Companies?
