It's a full slate of action this weekend as U.S. athletes compete around the globe in just about every winter sport as well as a handful of summer sports. The big action is going on in Sochi, where the figure skating Grand Prix Final is already in progress. World Cup events are also going on in skiing, bobsled, skeleton, speedskating, luge, biathlon and gymnastics. Check out the Team USA Weekend Preview for all of the details.
ISU Grand Prix Final and Junior Grand Prix Final, Dec. 6-9, Sochi, Russia
Olympic silver medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White are the leaders after the short dance at the ISU Grand Prix Final, which is being held at the Iceberg Skating Palace in Sochi, Russia, the site of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games. Should they win in Sochi, it will mark their fourth consecutive Grand Prix title.
Reigning national champion Ashley Wagner is in second after the short program but only trails leader Mao Asada by .52 points entering the free skate. Wagner achieved the top seed by winning gold at Hilton HHonors Skate America and Trophée Bompard. With a victory in Sochi, she would be the first American woman since Sasha Cohen in 2003 to win three Grand Prix titles in one year. Wagner is joined in the women's competition by Christina Gao, who gained entry when Russia's Julia Lipnitskaia withdrew because of an injury. Gao is in sixth place after a disappointing short program.
In the Junior Grand Prix Final, which also is being held in Sochi, Joshua Farris took the silver and 2011 Junior Grand Prix Final champion Jason Brown placed fourth. Hannah Miller earned the junior women's silver medal and ice dancers Alexandra Aldridge and Daniel Eaton placed third.

The Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. Women's National Team will play China as a part of its Fan Tribute Tour Saturday afternoon (1:30 p.m. ET) at Ford Field in Detroit. The game is the eighth in the 10-game tour. The United States is unbeaten on the tour with a 5-0-2 record, including a 2-0 win over Ireland last Saturday in Glendale, Ariz.
Among the players to watch: Alex Morgan, a forward who has scored 28 goals in international and Olympic play this year. She scored four goals in her last two games.
Should Morgan score two more goals, she would become the third player in U.S. history with 30 goals in a calendar year. The others are Abby Wambach (31) in 2004 and Michelle Akers (39) in 1991.
"I think it's great that I'm close to 30 (goals)," she said. "I never imagined having this many goals this year. It's kind of a dream year for me. We still have three games to go and this team has just done tremendous this year."
The United States and China will also play Wednesday night at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston. Tuesday at 5 p.m. CT, the team will conduct a practice at Compass Stadium that will be open to the public free of charge.

Canada shut out Japan, 10-0, in its semifinal Thursday.

My friend Hugh has a highly developed scientific mind, and when he sees something about aviation that piques his interest, he often calls me for details. One question—"How fast is it?"—seems as if it ought to be pretty simple, but my answers often leave him frustrated. How can speed be so complicated?

These days, everyone in the aviation field talks about composite aircraft. Boeing's 787 Dreamliner is made mostly of carbon fiber composites, and the percentage of composite content in new business jet designs is on the rise. Over time, carbon fiber may, indeed, replace metal as the material of choice for aircraft. But how did we get here?
July 13, 2015
Before any business jet manufacturer delivers an airplane to a buyer, a lot of work goes into completing the cabin. To give you an idea of what that work involves, Business Jet Traveler visited Dassault's completions center in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Here comes the widest conventional bizjet cabin in the sky. Dassault revealed its long-anticipated large-cabin twin, the 5X, in late 2013.

Traveling with the airlines these days often means paying extra for a ho-hum sandwich and bag of chips, but mealtime can be the highlight of a private flight for foodies. The bizav caterers listed here offer a wide range of options, including many that compare to what you'd enjoy in the world's finest restaurants.
July 1, 2015
Here's a 2015 look at the world's leading business jet manufacturers and their current and upcoming models.
June 22, 2015
Growth could literally be in the cards for the bizav industry. Sentient Jet, which claims 4,000 jet card customers, reports 35 percent sales growth for 2014, while card purchases at Delta Private Jets set records last year and card hours flown in NetJets' Marquis program saw double-digit growth.

Found a great vintage while traveling and wondering how to get it home safely? Wrapping a piece of clothing around a bottle and placing it in your suitcase is the most common way of transporting wine, but it might not be the best.

Gibb Rosenthal Win First Grand Slam Gold in Rome
April Ross attacks against Italy as partner Jennifer Kessy watches during their bronze medal match on June 17 in Rome

Phone: (719) 228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 17, 2012) – Riding the momentum of earning enough points for a second Olympic nomination, the U.S. men's beach volleyball team of Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal won their first grand slam on Sunday at the smart Grand Slam Rome in Italy.
On Saturday, Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.), seeded No. 5, clinched enough FIVB qualifying points to secure nomination to the U.S. Olympic Team that will compete in London. The pair finished fifth at the 2008 Olympic Game in Beijing.
On Sunday, they defeated Brazil's top-seeded Emanuel Rego and Alison Cerutti, 21-13, 21-12 in 36 minutes to win the gold medal.
In other medal matches on Sunday, the U.S. women's team of Jennifer Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and April Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) won the bronze medal while the U.S. men's team of Matt Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Nick Lucena (Santa Barbara, Calif.) fell in their bronze medal match.
Gibb and Rosenthal won their second FIVB medal of the season after taking the silver at the Shanghai Grand Slam.
"I can't believe it really," Gibb said in an FIVB press release. "It was a big win for us here. They are the world champions and in my opinion the best in the world and we got lucky tonight.
"This is our first grand slam and it is something I haven't done in 12 years of my career, so it is a very special moment."
Key to the U.S. victory was Gibb's ability to nullify the threat of Alison at the net. The 6-foot-7 player was unable to dominate his opponents in the same manner as he had earlier in the tournament.
Gibb's work meant that Rosenthal was able to work hard in defense at the back of the court and he was rewarded for his efforts with the smart Player of the Tournament award.
"How do you deal with him?" Gibb continued. "He is the best blocker in the world and he we had to find a way around him tonight. He is a very special player."
Fuerbringer and Lucena, seeded No. 12, who had been battling Gibb and Rosenthal for the second nomination to the U.S. Olympic Team, lost in Sunday's bronze medal match to Switzerland's No. 25 Sasha Heyer and Sebastian Chevalier, 23-21, 21-13 in 41 minutes.
In the women's event in Rome, Kessy and Ross won their first FIVB medal of the season with a 21-17, 15-21, 15-13 victory in 59 minutes in the bronze medal match over fifth-seeded local favorites Marta Menegatti and Greta Cicolari of Italy.
The USA pair won the first set, but Menegatti and Cicolari fought back in the second before Kessy and Ross silenced the Foro Italico crowd with the victory.
Kessy and Ross' most recent appearance on a World Tour podium came at the 2011 Thailand Open in Phuket.
"We are delighted with our bronze. It is our first medal since Thailand last year," Kessy said. "Every time we play this Italian team it is 15-13 in the third.
"It is always a tough game against them and to beat them at home for the bronze is a big deal for us. They have played great all tournament and made it tough for us today."
Complete information about the FIVB World Tour is available on the FIVB web site.

After two months of intensive planning, the day finally arrived for the start of a two-week law enforcement training seminar for 45 police officers, customs officials, and immigration specialists from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Co-hosted by the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) and the Regional Security Office (RSO) at the U.S. Embassy in Kinshasa, this course marked the first time INL would sponsor this type of training in the DRC.
As we pushed past three goats roaming in front of the Ecole de Formation des Officiers de la Police Judiciare (Judicial Police Training Center) in Kinshasa, we entered the building to find a crowded room. The excitement in the room was palpable, as the police officers eagerly discussed what this course might be all about. Over the two week period, participants studied how to conduct investigations, combat trafficking in persons, and identify fraudulent immigration documents. They also learned how to use basic investigative tools including surveillance techniques, crime scene investigation and management, and crime scene sketching. Course instructors included representatives from U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Diplomatic Security Assistant Regional Security Office Investigator (ARSO-I). The trainees were thrilled to be part of this unprecedented seminar. "We are very grateful to the U.S. government for approaching the police to jointly plan an international law enforcement training seminar in Kinshasa," said one course participant. He added, "This is the first time the Americans have come to us, to our home, to share ideas and help us improve our ability to do our job."
Through the collective efforts of everyone involved, we saw the beginning of a sustainable training program emerge. We developed a strong relationship with the police academy's staff though a collaborative seminar preparation and implementation strategy, which resulted in a stronger partnership between the Regional Security Office and the local police. Seminars like these, implemented in partnership with our Congolese law enforcement colleagues, are sustainable avenues to address specific legal issues, which is critical to the DRC's rule of law reform and stability.
The impact of the seminar was immediate: just one week after the training ended, one of our participants reported to U.S. Embassy officials that he relied on the knowledge and skills gained through this training to successfully investigate a human trafficking criminal ring operating in Kinshasa. The Congolese Police believe the individual under investigation by our seminar graduate had sold many girls aged 14-19 to a criminal counterpart overseas. After completing the seminar, the officer stated that he is better prepared to investigate trafficking in persons cases.
Since 2008, INL has funded programs in the DRC to increase security along the country's borders, bolster the movement of non-conflict minerals, provide support and access to justice for survivors of sexual assault, and improve the efficiency of the police pay system.

text: We took a look at some cool uses for cardboard recently, but this may actually take the cake. Architect Shigeru Ban built an entire house out of cardboard tubes, putting new meaning to the idea of recycling cardboard. The house, situated on Yakushima Island in Japan, has a rather remarkable story behind it, but first, let's all take a moment to marvel at the idea of cardboard construction in an area where rain, high winds, and other weather issues would seem to argue against using such a frail building material.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (593 votes).
In short: Great event and wonderful atmosphere. Many thanks again! In full: Since I last took part 3 years ago some route changes have been an improvement. Only disappointment was the 15 minute wait towards the end to get over a stile so no PB was possible again. Thanks to all marshals, spectators and the steel band! The Remembrance Sunday acknowledgement before the race was very tastefully done, as usual. Many thanks again to everyone involved. Date of review: November 11, 2008
In short: you must do it,In full: No support from my family wet and cold for them. Still felt welcome and had fun all the way around. This was my dream run. I love MudDate of review: November 11, 2008
In short: If you want a challenge that will put a smile on your face then this is for you. In full: Thank you spectators and marshals for being there in the pouring rain. Even we were waist deep in mud and water you laughed with us and cheered us, in the hope we'd fall over! Date of review: November 11, 2008
In short: Fantastic raceIn full: This race was fantastic fun- I ran/slid/waded the entire thing with a grin on my face. Excellent organisation, including free red bull at the start (much needed on a cold Sunday morning), and great goody bag, refreshements and somewhere warm to change at the end. Definitely doing it again next year!Date of review: November 11, 2008
In short: This is THE race of the yearIn full: Difficult to add to what has been said already. Not just a race but an event that cannot fail to make you think at the start with the 2 minuite silence, laugh at others as they slip and slide just before you do the same, gasp at the hills, curse that heavy muddy field, grimace at the water feature and ache and feel and inner self satisfaction for days after.Thank you Bitton Road RunnersDate of review: November 11, 2008
In short: The muddiest fun i've had in years In full: Twelve months ago i had serious surgery and on the anniversary of my op. i wanted to do something special to mark the ocasion. I went to Sodbury and ran the slog and had a muddy good time. The cheer i got when i went headlong into 18 inches of liquid mud was brilliant while the band played on !! When i got to the river i thought great, i can wash off all this mud and was basically clean again only to go across the road and end up face down in liquid mud again, when i got to the finish they could'nt see my number. Marshalls and spectators in the rain and cold were brilliant. Mud, mud and more mud, i'll be back for more. Date of review: November 10, 2008
In short: Awesome, just awesomeIn full: A gentle mile on the road at the start and then a gentle mile on the road at the end, except by then it felt like a 1:4 hileMud and mud and water and water and mud and water and slurry and god knows whatThis should be number 1 in the Runners World race list, because ...........Well do it yourself and then you will knowDate of review: November 10, 2008

What's Hot: The Pieces You Want NOW
Ariel Ashe
Together with Reinaldo Leandro, Ashe helms the New York architecture and design firm Ashe & Leandro. Their projects range from a London townhouse to a Martha's Vineyard home.
Vicente Wolf
The well-traveled decorator mixes streamlined pieces and global antiques. He is currently designing a furniture collection for Restoration Hardware.
From Tutankhamen's gold throne to the bronze Giacometti lamps commissioned by Jean-Michel Frank, metal furnishings have long lent sparkle and style to interiors. André-Charles Boulle lavishly decorated Louis XIV's furniture with gilt bronze, the Arts and Crafts movement celebrated humble copper, and, in the 1960s and '70s, Gabriella Crespi and Karl Springer made brass chic.
For designer Ariel Ashe, metal furnishings play a key role in rounding out the mix of materials in a room. "Your eye is always drawn to metal," she says. But she adds a note of caution: While a French gilt mirror brings richness, too much glitter can be a distraction.
Decorator Vicente Wolf seconds the call for restraint, but likes to shake up expectations. "Everybody thinks gold leaf is traditional," he says, "but I love using it in contemporary environments to add a sense of warmth." He also embraces different types of metal, from copper to brass to gold. "Mixing them together gives a space depth," he says.
Wolf considers this table, with its laser-cut circles in a gold-nickel finish, both chic and versatile. "It would work equally well in a mod, Austin Powers–style space or a crisp, architectural setting," he says. "You can see through the base, which creates a floating effect." Ashe would pair it with clean-lined furnishings: "This has just enough curve for a room." A chrome version is also available. 11" w. x 11" d. x 22" h.; $2,145; minottiny.com

Glenn Thibeault Sudbury, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a truly Canadian hero from my great riding of Sudbury, who passed away this past weekend.
Lloyd Hartley signed up to fight for our country in the second world war at the age of 16. He was a number one soldier, as the many medals he proudly wore demonstrate. Mr. Hartley was wounded in action three times and was given many roles of the utmost responsibility by his superiors.
Mr. Hartley was well known for his passion in his presentation of In Flanders Fields at Remembrance Day ceremonies. He was also a very active member of the War Pensioners of Canada and of the Royal Canadian Legion in Sudbury. Mr. Hartley and his colleagues met with me many times to talk about the importance of ensuring that our veterans, who served our country with honour, receive the benefits they so rightly deserve.
To his family and friends, our condolences. Let me articulate something I heard Mr. Hartley say often. "At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them".
We will remember Mr. Hartley. May he rest in peace.
Foreign Affairs

Pierre Poilievre Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, some people living in the comfort and safety of western democracies find it easy to criticize those who must fight terror on the front lines on a daily basis. Maybe these critics would feel differently if they had to live next door to Hamas.
Terrorists in Hamas-ruled Gaza rained over 3,000 rockets and mortar bombs into Israeli communities in 2008. They target civilians and seek maximum loss of life. That is why the Jewish state blocks arms from entering the Hamas-controlled territory. Yet U.S. Vice-President Biden pointed out this week that Israel allows humanitarian goods to pass directly into Gaza.
Our government stands in solidarity with the one and a half million people of Gaza who suffer under the terror of Hamas.
We were also proud to host Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu this week.
Though we are blessed to live in the safety and comfort of Canadian life, we will always stand with those who confront terror every day.

Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to rise to congratulate two eminent community members in my riding of Newton—North Delta. Both Chief Constable Jim Cessford of the Delta Police and Chief Superintendent Fraser MacRae of the Surrey RCMP recently received the prestigious Governor General's Order of Merit of the Police Forces.
All residents of Surrey and Delta have benefited from their years of service and successful strategies to reduce crime rates in Surrey and Delta. I ask all my colleagues to join me in congratulating Chief Cessford and Chief MacRae on this great honour.
National Unity

Colin Mayes Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canada did not invent human rights. Human rights invented Canada.
People from nations all over this globe have come to Canada to escape oppression and religious discrimination and to enjoy the opportunity of free enterprise Canada provides. Truly, the three founding nations of Canada, the aboriginals, the francophones, and the anglophones, should be recognized as the nations that have placed the foundation stones for our freedoms and rights.
The Bloc wants to separate us as a nation, but the citizens of our nation are one in our patriotic love for liberty, freedom, the rule of law, and democracy. These principles are the mortar that unites us as one in the Canadian mosaic. One language or culture should not trump the other in our free society.
May we continue to serve all Canadians in this House with respect and gratefulness. I wish to thank past parliamentarians who drafted our rights and freedoms that we enjoy today and especially our men and women who defend them.
Canada Post

Guy André Berthier—Maskinongé, QC
Mr. Speaker, with the Liberals as their accomplices, the Conservatives are threatening the viability of the postal service by including a thousand and one reforms in Bill C-9, the budget implementation bill.
Among other things, Bill C-9 contains a deregulation project to put an end to Canada Post's monopoly on international remailing.
The Conservative government is trying to fool the public by slipping this deregulation plan into an 800-page omnibus budget implementation bill. They are trying to privatize this corporation on the sly, without the public even realizing it.
The government is opening the door to the complete deregulation of Canada Post. The citizens of Berthier—Maskinongé and all of Quebec are opposed to this process.
I implore the Liberal members not to support this Conservative bill. They must all rise and vote against Bill C-9 to maintain universal, accessible postal service.

Brian Jean Fort McMurray—Athabasca, AB
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, in a shocking display of political gamesmanship, the NDP joined forces with the Liberals and the Bloc Québécois to pass a motion to keep the long gun registry as is.
In November 2009, 12 NDP and eight Liberal MPs listened to their constituents and voted in favour of Bill C-391 to scrap the wasteful and ineffective long gun registry. Now they are trying whatever they can do to derail it.
The Liberal member for Malpeque voted to scrap the long gun registry in November. Will he now vote to keep it? Will he allow his vote to be whipped by the Liberal leader, or will he listen to the voices of his constituents instead?
Those 20 opposition MPs who did the right thing at second reading and voted to scrap the long gun registry will have to explain to their constituents why they allowed their party bosses to whip their vote and silence their voices.
When it comes to the long gun registry, MPs can either vote to keep it or vote to scrap it. It is that simple.
Aristides de Sousa Mendes

11:10 a.m.
Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, there are moments in the life of a Parliament when colleagues from all parties come together in common cause: to remember and to be reminded, to inspire and be inspired.
Such a moment occurred this week, when MPs commemorated the 125th anniversary of the birth of Portuguese diplomat Aristides de Sousa Mendes, and the 40th anniversary of his saving 30,000 people—12,000 of them Jews—with his visas for life in 1940, reminding us of the Talmudic/Koranic adage that whoever saves a single life, it is as if he or she has saved an entire universe.
This singular heroism of de Sousa Mendes, whose namesake grandson, Louis Philippe Mendes, is a resident of my constituency of Mount Royal, ennobles us all. He never received the honour he deserved in his life. May his memory serve as a blessing for us all.
The Economy
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, this morning, Statistics Canada reported that 24,700 new jobs were created in May, the fifth consecutive monthly increase. Continued job creation is more proof that Canada's economic action plan is working.
Since last July, Canada has created nearly 310,000 new jobs. Statistics Canada announced this week that the Canadian economy grew 6.1% in the first quarter of 2010, the highest quarterly growth rate in a decade.
Canada's economy is on the right track, but the global recovery remains fragile. That is why we must fully implement Canada's economic action plan.
While the opposition has plans to raise taxes and stall the recovery, our government is working hard to make our country a leader in jobs and growth.
Create Your Canada Contest

Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and pay tribute to Sam Unrau, the 2010 winner of the Create your Canada contest. This contest invited Winnipeg high school students to suggest their ideas for a private member's bill to make Canada a better place.
On Wednesday, Sam came to Ottawa to witness his Bill C-523 being introduced and given first reading in the House of Commons. Mr. Unrau, who uses a wheelchair for mobility, won the contest for his proposal that Canada conduct an accessibility audit of all federally regulated modes of transportation. Sam's thoughtful proposal seeks to create an environment in which people of all levels of physical ability can travel with dignity.
Our thanks go to Pauline Clarke, the Chief Superintendent of the Winnipeg School Division; Mr. Scott Gair, of Encore Music, for his generosity in providing airfare; Mr. Dave Taylor, Sam's excellent teacher at Argyle School; and all the students in Winnipeg who participated in the contest.
It was Sam's first trip to Ottawa, but I predict that Ottawa has not seen the last of this fine young man.
Ministerial Responsibility
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Colin Carrie Oshawa, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canada has a tradition of ministerial responsibility. That means that cabinet ministers are responsible for what happens in their names and to Parliament.
Canadians expect the people in charge to account for their staff, and this situation is no different.
The tradition of ministerial accountability is as old as Canada itself. That is why Conservative cabinet ministers answer questions in question period, and that is why they appear before committees to answer for their offices.
The Liberal leader wants to do away with this tradition. Instead, he wants to import the foreign U.S. committee system that is used as a political weapon to bully, intimidate, and humiliate opponents, which is something we will not allow.
We hope that all opposition committee chairs will follow the rules and procedures rather than conduct kangaroo courts, as they have been doing.
Employment Insurance
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Robert Carrier Alfred-Pellan, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' penchant for stealing money from workers is outrageous. Among the plethora of bills that it would amend, budget Bill C-9 would wipe out the $57 billion that the Conservative government owes to the employment insurance fund. It used that $57 billion to pay down the deficit caused by its own poor management of public funds.
In addition, this government will increase employment insurance benefits by 15¢ in January 2011. That money will not go to improve the current system but to reimburse what the Conservatives have pillaged from the employment insurance fund.
The Conservatives are making the unemployed pay for their deficit. They are taking advantage of the fact that this omnibus bill, Bill C-9, is a confidence vote, and they have filled it with all sorts of reforms and measures. They know that the Liberals will never dare oppose it and trigger an election.
But we in the Bloc Québécois will side with workers and oppose Bill C-9.
Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics

Bonnie Crombie Mississauga—Streetsville, ON
Mr. Speaker, the mystery of the missing PMO communications director continues. Dimitri Soudas, the 30-year-old spokesman for the unaccountable Conservative Prime Minister, has been evading a House of Commons bailiff all week long in an elaborate cat-and-mouse game, all so he can avoid being accountable to Canadians by answering questions before the Commons ethics committee.
Mr. Soudas has so flouted the law on parliamentary privilege that he has even barred the bailiff from the Prime Minister's office in Langevin Block. Clearly, Mr. Soudas needs to educate himself about the laws of this land. Parliament is the highest court in the country, and dodging a summons to appear before a parliamentary committee is in contempt of the law.
He also has no right to prevent a licensed bailiff from a parliamentary building, a bailiff who is only carrying out the duty he was assigned.
Mr. Soudas's boss, the Prime Minister, needs to instruct his employee to stop playing games, to stop thumbing his nose at the law, and to avail himself to the bailiff. He can run, but he cannot hide, and he can no longer be saved by the fire alarm. It is time--

Mr. Speaker, Statistics Canada reported this morning that 24,700 new jobs were created in May, the fifth straight month of job gains.
Canada's continued job creation is further proof that Canada's economic action plan is working. May represents the eighth month of job gains in the past 10 months. In fact, since July of last year, Canada has created nearly 310,000 new jobs.
With numbers like this, it is not surprising that the influential magazine, The Economist, recently called Canada "an economic star". It is encouraging to see Canada's economy on the right track, thanks to our government's actions.
Nonetheless the global recovery remains fragile. That is why we need to fully implement Canada's economic action plan. I encourage all members in this chamber to support Canada's economic action plan.

Siobhan Coady St. John's South—Mount Pearl, NL
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are rightfully angry about the skyrocketing costs of the G8 and G20 summits.
When the Conservatives first chose the industry minister's riding for the summit site, they knew full well that holding it there was a physical impossibility. Now they have had to bail out Toronto at huge expense to taxpayers. It is a billion-dollar boondoggle.
How do the Conservatives justify their obvious gross mismanagement?

About the Author: William J. Burns serves as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs.
A jam-packed two-day visit to the Philippines capped my four-country tour of Southeast Asia. As Secretary Clinton said during her visit eight months ago, the United States and the Philippines have a long friendship and strong partnership based on shared histories and mutual interests. The United States is ready to partner with the Philippines to "meet the challenges and seize the opportunities of the 21st century."
The Philippines is a country poised on the cusp of great change and reform. The potential for real progress and expanded U.S.-Philippines cooperation is clear following the recent election of President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino. I met with the new President on Tuesday to convey the United States' strong support for his new administration. I was impressed by his commitment to confronting poverty and corruption, and to protecting human rights. He has built a strong cabinet team to advance his many important goals. We discussed the ongoing, wide-ranging cooperation between our two countries and explored future opportunities for strengthening our relationship. These were consistent themes in all my meetings with government officials, including the Secretaries of Finance and of National Defense.
One of the most poignant moments for me was my visit to the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial. The cemetery contains the largest number of graves of our World War II service members worldwide, a total of 17,202, and is the resting place of service members from the Philippines and other Allied nations. In front of the chapel are two large hallways where 36,285 names are inscribed on the Tablets of the Missing. Though these numbers are staggering, the Memorial imparts a feeling of peace, and is a reminder of our countries deeply shared history. After laying a wreath in front of the chapel, I viewed the mosaic maps which recall the achievements of the American and Allied armed forces in the Pacific, China, India, and Burma.
Civil society plays a critical role in addressing issues of governance, peace, and development in the Philippines. A roundtable discussion with an impressive group of community leaders provided the opportunity for me to hear about their work with regard to election monitoring and reform, good governance and transparency, extrajudicial killing and enforced disappearances, trafficking in persons, and human rights in general. I particularly enjoyed getting their perspective on the new Aquino Administration and the positive steps the government is taking to confront these issues, and on ways the United States can support their work.
During my second day in the Philippines, I traveled to the southern island of Mindanao, where I met with civil society leaders, regional government officials, and military representatives. I applaud civil society's dedication to promoting peace and protecting the human rights of Filipinos in Mindanao, especially given recent tragedies in the region. Aggressive pursuit of those responsible for extrajudicial killings and human trafficking is the right thing to do, and U.S. technical assistance is helping the Philippine justice sector become more effective in these areas. The United States has a strong interest in supporting the efforts of both government and civil society to bring peace and security to this region and will continue to support these efforts. The highpoint of my day was joining students to launch a new English language partnership program, sponsored by USAID, at one of Mindanao's schools -- not only was I impressed by their eagerness to learn English, but I also got to enjoy a wonderful performance of traditional dance. Programs like this are a key way that we partner with the Philippines to promote economic prosperity and sustainable development in Mindanao.
The United States shares an important past and a close, cooperative relationship with this key ally, but the Filipino people convinced me that an even brighter future is yet to come. Mabuhay!

Dear Under Secretary Burns,
I'm sure there's many New Mexicans besides myself from a number of "nations" who would like to thank your hosts for remembering the part my fellow citizens from this neck of the woods played in defending their freedom as well as our own.
I met a survivor of the death march once and he made much of the courage of folks there as, "brothers in arms".
As it happens, the kid next door left a home made "monument" to the Navajo code talkers he penned with a sharpie on a piece of flagstone out to "weather" on the concrete driveway the other day. (class project?? Family related?? I really don't know)
So for all the vets that were present, I think they can rest assured representitives of the next generation have taken note of their efforts.

I am a Tausug citizen of my country Sultanate of Sulu. I could say that because I have acquired Tausug birth certificate from the United Tausug Citizens (UTC) Civil Registry. The fact is, the UTC have engaged in several parades and rallies for indepdendence but the Republic of the Philippines wishes not to recognized the statehood or existense of the Sultanate of Sulu. Infact the Republic of the Philippines (RP) provoked two of our rallies and several confiscation of the Sultanate of Sulu raised flags in down town Jolo. My questions are: Does the UN agencies do not understand what do you mean by"Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources"? This is one of their charter, How could they dön't know about this very well? and my point of view on this charter is nothing less than that, he who owns the sovereignty on natural resources owns the territory. Why the Republic of the Philippines keep on doing their unlawful exercises to the Tausug citizens of the Sultanate of Sulu? Is this maybe the UN doesnt know what is going on in Sulu? If that is the case, please help us emphasized this problem to the UN. I am addressing this to the U.S. Government Department of State in the name of her exellency madam Hillary Clinton. I am sorry for the informality of my approach, I just want to show what is going on in Sulu.

The complete Swiss area has been modelled as a highly detailed visual scenery on the basis of photorealistic pictures. The terrain model (mesh) includes every little hill. Houses, streets, mountains, huts - everything - is visible. To ensure that the Rhine river and other areas near the border can be seen and used for orientation the developers have also included a belt around the swiss borders of a few kilometers. Very good news too is the fact that frame rates are really phenomenal. This surely is a "must have" for each and every General Aviation and PC.hobby pilot.
To increase the level of reality well-known sightseeing spots have been added. These include the parliament building in Bern, the "Grossmunster" in Zurich, the "Kapellbrücke" in Luzern, the cathedral of St Gallen and many more. Helicopter pilots will be pleased to know that the heli bases and pads were also included. All larger lakes and rivers come with the beautiful FSX water effects.

Conclusion by Avsim.com:"High prices generate high expectations. Switzerland Professional X is expensive, by almost any standard, but premium does not mean perfect. First-class is not the same as flawless. What sets this product apart is the accumulation of features, each of which is either expensive to license or labor-intensive to create: aerial photographs, plus snow in winter, plus night lighting, plus autogen, plus custom lakes and rivers, plus customized structures. There are other products -- good ones -- that have some of these features, but none that have all of them in combination. And, of course, no one else covers Switzerland in this much detail."

Names released in ST HWY 21 crash that injured three people
LAGRANGE, Wis. - The Monroe County Sheriff's Office released the names of the people injured in Monday morning's State Trunk Highway 21 crash near the Township of LaGrange.
The crash happened at about 8:30 a.m. about one mile west of Ensign Road.
Authorities say Dennis O. Kent, 53, of Tomah, was traveling eastbound on ST HWY 21 in a 1993 Chevy Sport Van when it crossed the centerline and collided with a 2007 Chevy K2500 pickup going westbound.
Kent was Med-lifted to St. Joe's Hospital in Marshfield, with severe injuries. Joshua S. Kent, 13, of Tomah, was the passenger in the Chevy Sport Van. He was transported to Tomah Memorial Hospital and was later transferred to Gundersen Health System in La Crosse, with non-life-threatening injuries.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office says the driver of the pickup truck, Michael R. Rogers, 36, of Adams, was transported to Tomah Memorial Hospital and was then transferred to Gunderson Health System in La Crosse, with non-life threatening injuries.
Authorities say the Chevy Sport Van also collided with a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500. The driver of that vehicle was not injured in the crash.
The Office was assisted by the Oakdale Fire Department and Oakdale First Responders, the Tomah Area Ambulance Service, Tomah Police Department, Monroe County Highway Department, the Wisconsin DBR, Warrens Fire Department, Mayo Air out of Rochester, Spirit Air out of Marshfield, Monroe County 9-1-1 Communication Center and the Wisconsin State Patrol Reconstruction Unit.

Sorry for the late reply, just saw this thread. I have the Bosch compact mixer and am very happy with it. I tried using my KA Artisan and it did seem to be stressing the machine. After a lot of research, I decided to try the Bosch compact and it has been just great. My standard batch is 1000 grams flour at 58 - 62% HD and that's a perfect amount in the compact. Easy clean up, too I don't have the shredder attachment so I can't answer that question - let me know if you have any other specific questions.

Good article.
Is it possible for verification team to iron out all the bugs before taping out within the tough project schedule?
No one could have confidence to say yes. the re-spin usually happens in most of team.
The verification team may take the silicon as the HW accelerator for re-spin. it may be too late for market.
So the early tape-out is a smart verificaiton but more $$ cost.
This should be a tradeoff between $$ and time-to-market.
I guess the re-spin may miss the market and take more $$.
any thought?

Mother and Daughter PhotoShoot
Along my path to purse my passion of makeup artistry, my friends have been so supportive. They've passed out business cards, served as models, assisted me at gigs, helped cleaned brushes...I couldn't ask for more support. My bestie Alex (I know yall have seen her in a million entries) even sends her Mom pics of my new work. Her mom even reads my blog at work, he he. Isn't that too cute?
Well on Alex's bday her Mom flew into town for business and stayed the weekend to spend it with Alex. Alex told me that her mom wanted to have a photoshoot! Guess who was doing the makeup? In my head I already had a vision...a mother and daughter shoot like off the pages of Essence Magazine. We wanted to do some nice and natural outdoor shots.
For Alex I wanted to do pretty purples...I love that color on her. I used a combo of contrast, beautiful iris, and parfait amour eyeshadow. I also gave her individual lashes and per her request I broke out the contour powder he he.
On her mom, she wanted to wear some false lashes and have her eyes pop! I also gave her a little help in the eyebrow department and filled in her brows. I chose a nice pair of lashes from Ardell and then I went with a gold-bronze look for the rest of her face. Her mom always radiates beauty with her smile. She's definitely a second mommy to me.
This was definitely one of my favorite shoots. My other bestie came to watch the shoot and the whole time we were smiling and going "Awww" at how cute the shots were. You can definitely see the mother-daughter bond in the pictures.
Without further ado, the pics!
