As diplomats, one of our most important functions is to get to know the people of our host country. What do they think about what's happening in the world? How do they view the critical issues of the day in their country? And what is their opinion on the United States?
Here in Guatemala, as Cultural Affairs Officer, I am lucky to have a job that allows me to do just that. I travel to many remote sites around the country, to check up on our English teaching programs or to visit an archaeological site we support with a grant from the Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation. I meet a wide variety of people from all over Guatemala: young, old, rural, urban, rich, poor, male, female. I talk to them, and I learn a lot about their lives.
But some things, like gender-based violence, I will never understand. This issue was central in a visit last Friday by Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues Melanne Verveer. On the last day of her three-day stay in Guatemala, we put together a launch event for "Mujeres Adelante" ("Women Moving Forward"), a Department of State initiative in conjunction with the Seattle International Foundation that will bring dozens of women from Central America to the United States for training on how to prevent gender-based violence. The statistics for gender-based violence in Guatemala are horrifying: on average, two women are killed each day in Guatemala, and per UNDP reporting two out of three women murdered are killed because of their gender. Domestic violence goes largely unreported. The Mujeres Adelante initiative will identify emerging women leaders who are already working in their communities to prevent and respond to gender-based violence, and will enable them to share best practices and collaborate with other women leaders in the region.
Two Guatemalan women participated in an early version of Mujeres Adelante last summer, traveling to Seattle and Washington, D.C. One is a social worker, and the other works for an NGO that provides services to survivors of gender-based violence. Daily, they work to end the scourge of gender-based violence, a cause and consequence of gender inequality throughout the world.
These two Guatemalan participants arrived early to the Mujeres Adelante event, one a bit later than the other. As I was rushing around ensuring that everything was ready, I noticed that the later arrival looked upset. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me she'd just been robbed outside the hotel where the event was taking place. She and a group of other women had been accosted by a man with a knife, who took their possessions. Minutes later, she spoke in front of a hundred people, including journalists, about her experience in the United States and her work, unshaken as if nothing had just happened to her.
A woman who is fighting to end violence in Guatemala was herself a victim and survivor of violence on her way to the launch of a program to help prevent and respond to violence. Shocking? Yes. Did this break HER spirit? No. Guatemalan women are forging ahead despite these challenges, strengthening my conviction that the work I do in support of them has deep meaning and lasting impact.

I was inspired by your post on gender violence and the story of the social worker who is working to abolish gender violence in Guatemala. I will be taking a small group of masters level social work students on a study tour to Guatemala on May 23 for two weeks. We are focusing on education of deaf children for our tour and also social work programs in Guatemala. We will be working with a new deaf school in Jocotenango, LAVOSI. This school needs books and resources. Does your office make donations to schools in Guatemala? There is a nice video on this school at this link: deafnation.com/joelbarish/world-tour/guatemala-lavosi/
I would love to have you visit this school while we are there, or put you in touch with the Director, Alvaro de Leon.

Johnson Mountain Ranch
DescriptionThe Johnson Mountain Ranch Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is located up Salina Creek and south of Interstate 70. The high point occurs near the southwest corner at 9900 feet. The elevation from this point decreases to the north with some broad valleys and lower elevation mountains on the east side of the Unit. After decreasing to 8000 feet the northern high point is 8200 feet. Niotche Creek cuts the north part of the Unit ranging from 6700 feet to 7300 feet. In the south Yugo Creek cuts the south part of the Unit. It ranges from 7100 feet to 9500 feet. Beaver Creek (8500 feet to 9500 feet), Spring Creek (7300 feet to 9500 feet), and Blackham Creek (7300 feet to 9500 feet) all flow into Yugo Creek in the south. The most common elevation is 7300 feet but ranges from 6700 feet to 9800 feet with an elevation difference of 3100 feet. Fifty percent (50%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 7400 feet and 9000 feet an elevation difference of 1600 feet.
The southern part of the Johnson Mountain Ranch Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is covered with Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22), the dominant land cover type. Towards the middle of the Unit the Aspen Forest and Woodland grades into areas of mixed Rocky Mountain Gambel Oak-Mixed Montane Shrubland (41) and Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrsuh Steppe (62). Much of the north part of this Unit has a mixture of Colorado Plateau Pinyon-Juniper Woodland (36) and Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (48). There is one large area of Agriculture (114) in the north.
One of the Johnson Mountain Ranch Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, SALINA (427557), is about 12.4 km northeast from the northeast edge of the CWMU. SALINA has seventy-four (74) years of records, 1923 - 2007. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 2.48 inches, but it can be as high as 6.67 inches or as low as 0.43 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 12 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 8 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 1 day of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Total FALL snowfall averages 2.8 inches but can be as high as 18.0 inches. FALL temperature at SALINA averages 49.9 degrees F. but can be as high as 102.0 degrees F. or as low as -8.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 48 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and less than 4 days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

Bill Blaikie Winnipeg—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, I had hoped to ask a follow up question to the Prime Minister about the Senate, but perhaps the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs could answer why the federal government is not prepared to set the ball rolling with respect to the abolition of the Senate.
We understand that the House of Commons cannot do this on its own. However, we do have an amending process. We could begin with a resolution in this House to abolish the existing undemocratic Senate and put the provinces and other parties on the spot as to where they stand on the issue of abolishing the Senate. We can always recreate it in a democratic forum if we want to.

Mr. Speaker, my question, once again, is for the minister of fisheries.
I have to say that recommendation No. 2, as was stated by one of my colleagues, would cease giving permission to Canadian companies to hire foreign vessels and foreign crews to catch fish in Canadian waters.
The reply from the parliamentary secretary was: Does the PC Party want to put people out of work in Nova Scotia? What we want to do is put people to work in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and across the whole of Canada.
Considering the thousands of Atlantic Canadians who are unemployed, will the minister inform this House and Atlantic Canadians that he too agrees with recommendation No. 2?
The Atlantic Groundfish Strategy
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Wayne Easter Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Mr. Speaker, as I clearly said earlier, the minister will respond to the specifics of the recommendations in this report at a later date.
Again I have to spell out to the member that there are certain international obligations. If we kick out the foreign fleets we will lose the leverage to influence the decision to protect world fish stocks in a sustainable fashion. There are, in fact, thousands of workers who depend on the fish that are caught by those foreign fleets for processing jobs in Canada. We do not want to destroy those jobs.

The hon. member can rest assured that the response will be tabled in this House in a timely fashion.

Points Of Order
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Randy White Langley—Abbotsford, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order with regard to a matter that occurred in the justice committee. It is a matter that only this House can address and is a matter of interest to all members of this House.
While I recognize that committees are masters of their own proceedings, the justice committee has gone beyond its authority by ignoring an order of this House.
On March 10, 1998 at the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights the chair ruled that a motion passed by this House on October 30, 1997 did not bind the committee. This is confirmed in the letter sent from the chair of the justice committee to the sponsor of the motion, the member for Prince George—Bulkley Valley. In the letter the chair states:
Enclosed you will find a copy of the order of reference on impaired driving dated October 30, 1997. As you can see, no time line was imposed on the justice committee. This project has been considered by both our steering committee and the full committee in planning our future business—we will not reach this project before June.
The order of reference given the committee was contained in two motions. The first motion which carried unanimously read as follows:
That this House call on the government to bring forward a motion pursuant to Standing Order 68(4)(a), to instruct the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights to prepare and bring in a bill to amend those sections of the Criminal Code which deal with impaired driving in order to (a) enhance deterrence; and (b) ensure that the penalties reflect the seriousness of the offence and that the said committee, when so instructed, submit its report to the House no later than May 15, 1998.
Subsequent to the adoption of the supply motion, the committee was so instructed by a motion moved by the Minister of Human Resources Development. I was involved in the negotiations of that instruction, so I do know for a fact from where we come on this particular point of order.
As you know, Mr. Speaker, a motion cannot direct or order the government to take action. That is why the supply motion called upon the government to act. The second part of the motion read "and that the said committee, when so instructed, submit its report to the House no later than May 15, 1998".
The second part of the motion dealt with the committee. The motion directed the committee and as you know, Mr. Speaker, that is perfectly in order for any motion of this House whether it be a supply motion, a private member's motion, or a government motion.
In Beauchesne's sixth edition citation 760(2), it states that "committees receive their authority from the House itself and the authority of the House overrides that of any committee". Citation 831(2) points out that "a committee is bound by, and is not at liberty to depart from the order of reference" from the House.
In the last Parliament, the 35th Parliament, the Special Committee on Code of Conduct was given a reporting date by the House. The committee could not and did not decide on its own when to report to the House. When the committee found itself crunched for time it had to come back to the House and seek authority to extend its reporting date.
Also in the last Parliament there were two important rulings regarding committees and orders given committees by the House. On June 20, 1994 and November 7, 1996 the Speaker ruled that "while it is a tradition of this House that committees are masters of their own proceedings, they cannot establish procedures which go beyond the powers conferred upon them by the House".
Mr. Speaker, I would also like to address at this time the fact that there are two motions in play on this issue. If you consider our practices regarding the management of our business, there is often more than one motion dictating the business of the House and its committees. Superseding motions for example are always acceptable motions, such as motions to adjourn debate.
We often pass motions that prescribe the way debate is conducted. The actions in the motions are triggered by events that may happen during debate. For example, during late night debates the words "when the last member rises" often trigger the question being deemed put and the vote deferred to a determined time.
Time allocation motions often address the report and third reading stages of a bill. It presupposes that the report stage will carry and that the third reading debate will proceed and be guided by the time allocation motion. Such an order waits until the business is called even though that business may never be called.
What is disturbing about this issue is that it is the justice committee of this House that is at the centre of controversy once again.
It was the justice committee that refused to report a private member's bill to the House, which triggered a number of questions of privilege and resulted in a Speaker's ruling allowing a new procedure to deal with insubordinate committees.
It was the justice committee that restricted an opposition member's participation contrary to the rules of the House that led to the Speaker's intervention of November 7, 1996.
It was the justice committee that ignored an order of the House in regard to the drafting of a national victims bill of rights that we put forward in this House on April 26, 1996. That has not been dealt with since in the justice committee.

I trust I did not hear "I just lied".
In conclusion, seeking a solution to the problem of drinking and driving is supported by the public and was supported unanimously by this House. Not only did all members speak in support of the motion introduced by the member for Prince George—Bulkley Valley, but all members unanimously supported an amendment moved by a Liberal member, the member for Abitibi, which inserted the reporting date which is the focus of my point of order today.
I would agree with the words of the member for Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough who said during his presentation in debate "Members should come together without partisan politics and create new legislation that will contribute to the saving of lives". The Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister said "I support the intent and essence of this question. When the protection of human life is involved we have to do everything we can".
The justice committee should take note of the sentiments expressed during that debate on October 30, 1997 and respect the decision of the majority by reporting to the House as ordered.
Let me sum up. We the members of this House, in this House, all agreed that there would be a bill received in this House no later than May 15. The question is how does this House become and stay relevant if a committee of the House arbitrarily makes a decision without coming back to this House on the very issue that we all supported, all members of this House from all parties?
Points Of Order
Oral Question Period
3:10 p.m.
Shaughnessy Cohen Windsor—St. Clair, ON
Mr. Speaker, there are three things that are very important here.
One is that the justice committee, and in particular the chair of the justice committee to whom some of this seems to be addressed in the person of myself, has every intention of following the order of the House that we received in our committee through our clerk.
Number two, we take very seriously the issue of impaired driving in this country. I have confirmed to at least one justice critic in the last 24 hours the significance of that review and the fact that I am looking forward to undertaking it.
Number three, had the Reform House leader referred to the proceedings of the committee in preparing for today, and he may have, I do not know, he would have found that we even talked at some point about how extensive this review would be.
Having said that, Mr. Speaker, it is important for you to know that when we received the order of reference from Journals branch the order of reference was not time dated. There was no reference in that order to May 15.
As a result of that, apparently the member who is interested in this motion in the first place wrote to me. We have heard part of the letter. The rest of the letter indicates an undertaking, as I recall from writing the letter which I do not have here, that we would deal with this issue as soon as we possibly could.
It is important however for the House to know that this schedule is not drawn up in a vacuum. This schedule is drawn up after consultation not just with a steering committee but with all members of the committee who represent all parties. I point out that the Reform Party has three members on that committee, none of whom has ever suggested that this is of the highest priority to them.
There is a problem here and that is assuming the order we received from the House was not time dated, and I believe that to be the case, then what do we put aside in order to accommodate the interest of a member of Parliament who is not a member of the committee and who does not attend our committee proceedings? Do we tell victims of crime on whose work we are operating that their work is less important than the work of this member? Do we tell persons with disabilities that we are sorry, we cannot work on the amendments to the human rights code right now because we have to do work that has come to us from outside our committee? Do we tell the victims of crime, the police community and others that we are sorry that we cannot do our work to establish a DNA data bank because one member of the Reform Party has another agenda?
This is a terrible situation in which our committee is put. I see you signalling me, Mr. Speaker, but there is a lot more at operation here than would be suggested.
Let me say this, Sir. We have never sought to defy, directly or indirectly or inadvertently, an order of this House. The order we have does not—

The Speaker
I am trying to give as much latitude as I can but I think we are getting a bit into debate. Before I go to your point of order may I ask the intervener, the opposition House leader, and I am going to have a look at all the papers, but is it your contention that both of these motions passed by the House were time dated? I want to clear that up.

Here's Kirstie Alley in New York City, matching her cobalt blue trench to her extra chic Celine Luggage Tote. We find this particular tote truly interesting because the front panel is bright blue snakeskin instead of regular leather. The combo of blue snakeskin, black leather, and white gussets make this an especially gorgeous version of the Luggage Tote. Celine Luggage Totes, like all Celine bags, are only available at high end department stores and Celine boutiques. If you've got your heart set on this version, though, watch out - it'll set you back more than the $2,700 that the all-leather tricolor version costs.
Can we give Kirstie Alley props for a sec? She looks extremely put together here, and not at all like she's about to be smeared over the cover of every tabloid at the supermarket checkout line for being "out of control!" Also, I'd like to point out that this lady just turned 62 in January. Mad props, Kirstie, for both aging gracefully and making fab bag choices.

Fishing was good today...until the generation started...Brown caddis were hatching...I did not know until today that caddis flies use their wings to get to the surface...the trout noticed too...I got to see the trout watch the caddis get to the top and then slam it....J.Hightower
Re: Sipsey 03/12/2006
Good looking trout. My son and I headed up Saturday morning with no generations planned as of 9:30am. Got down to the river about 10:10 and had just drifted my first cast when the siren went off. We had walked down from the dam so our out access choices were very limited and all almost straight up. As I started a slow trot down the river to find a better way out, over my shoulder came the 3 foot wall of water. All I could do was throw my gear up on a hill and grab a root. It took me about 10 minutes to clamber up the side of this mountain and make my way back to the trail, where I met up with my son. So much for fishing that day. Seems like they could have a little more consideration for the fisherman, and at least get their releases posted correctly an hour or two ahead of time. Next time I think we'll drive an extra 1.5 hours and go to Hiawassee.
Re: Sipsey 03/12/2006
Nice trout!
Ditto on getting caught by rising water!! :P It happens to me all the time, and really, it can be quite dangerous, not to mention how unnerving it is.
One time my girls and I were fishing and they sounded the siren early. The girls dropped mystuff they were fishing with and ran looking for me. By the time we got out of there, I had all the girls, but was minus three fishing poles and some tackle.
I do wish they would do better at following their release schedule. Maybe one day...

In large bowl of stand mixer combine the egg whites and vanilla and beat until frothy. Add confectioners' sugar gradually and mix on low speed until sugar is incorporated and mixture is shiny. Turn speed up to high and beat until mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks. This should take approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Add food coloring, if desired. For immediate use, transfer icing to pastry bag or heavy duty storage bag and pipe as desired. If using storage bag, clip corner. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Contains Raw Eggs: The Food Network Kitchen suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

How to Play the Google Roller Coaster
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Google (GOOG) seems to be one of the giants in the social-media stock sector and is surely one of the stocks most followed by analysts. That attention has been a blessing as well as a curse. The challenge of investing in Google is not trying to project the stock's numbers, but trying to determine just how far over or under the real numbers will be from analysts' projections and investors' expectations.
In the third quarter, the market overestimated and was disappointed; in the fourth quarter, it underestimated and was surprised. The stock-price acted accordingly -- each time, it pulled back to almost mirror the market.
In the above graph, provided by Barchart, notice how in September and January the stock over-reacted prior to financial results being released when compared to my market proxy, the Value Line Arithmetic Index.
Let's take our own look at the numbers and plan how to play this stock. (Technical indicators provided by Barchart.)
At the present, Barchart has an 80% technical buy signal, confirmed by a Trend Spotter buy signal. The price increased seven times for a 6.18% gain in the last month and 42 times for a 32.28% increase in the last year. The Relative Strength Index is 65.76 and Barchart computes a technical support level at $734.07. The stock recently traded at $753.24, with a 50-day moving average of $703.06.
Fundamental Factors
Analysts project revenue will increase by 14.90% this year and 14.50% next year. They also estimate that earnings will be up 14.80% this year, 17.50% next year and continue to increase annually by 14.19% a year for the next five years. The 21.85 price/earnings ratio reflects those growth projection. The company has an A++ financial strength rating and the stock is rated A- by TheStreet.
Investor Interest
Thirty-one Wall Street brokerage firms have assigned 38 analysts to make projections; they have released 10 strong buys, 19 buys, 9 hold calls and no underperform or sell recommendations to their clients. The individual investor, as measured by the 18,012 opinions they posted on Motley Fool , voted 86% for the stock to beat the market. Short-sellers have covered some positions from a high of 4.8 million share in late September to about 3.7 million share recently.
Peer Performance
When I compare Google to other social media sites with a pay-per-click revenue monetization, I see that during the past six months, Google's price was up 13%, while Facebook (FB) was up 65%, LinkedIn (LNKD) was up 16% and Biadu (BIDU) was down 16%.
Facebook: Financial strength B+; not rated by TheStreet; revenue projected to be up 30.80% next year and earnings to increase annually 29.48% for the next five years.
LinkedIn: Financial strength B++; rated D by TheStreet; revenue projected to be up 52.00% next year and earnings estimated to increase annually by 60.96% for the next five years.

A pendant chandelier in the classic Mission-style with an unmistakable visual flair.
Angular, sharp lines give this pendant chandelier an unmistakable visual flair. Antique brass finish on the support arms. Classic earth tone color scheme. Includes chain length for high ceiling installation.
Shop all Robert Louis Tiffany
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Colors blend with almost any decor; not overdone; classy look
We hung this in a stairwell with a very high ceiling in front of a window so that it can shine to the outside as well as provide light to a dark stairwell. It is a beautiful piece of art for us and our neighbors to enjoy.
pleasant sales Lady. Very knowledgeable, good suggestions, easy to work with.
We badly needed a chandelier over our dining room table in our new home. After looking at hundreds of different lights, I finally selected this Tiffany style model. We have a very high ceiling and this light turned out to be perfect. It is absolutely beautiful and goes great with all of the wood we have. We have it on a dimmer so we can get exactly the amount of light. I can't even describe how much we love this light...just the right amount of richness. We have gotten so many compliments on this light. If you are considering this light, you can't go wrong!
I replaced my dining room fixture with this one and I couldn't be more happy with the the results. A great look for a very good price.
It light up my room so beautifully with all different colors!
Craftsman style in a modern lamp.
Works well over our big dining room table--provides lots of light, yet a dimmer allows for ambience. Metal supports could be darker--I'll probaly stain/paint them darker.
This beautiful light is above my dining table and has transformed the entire feel of the room.
Adds a warm welcoming feeling
I have it on a dimmer and since it is aligned with the window, I turn it on low during the evening to show it off!
Can't say enough about how pleased I am with this light!
Used this to replace a really awful ceiling fan over my dining room table. I have really low ceilings (7ft) so I had to do some modification, but even so it looks great and ties in with my craftsman/mission decor. Only complaint is that the "leading" (it's not truly leaded glass) looks pretty shoddy when close up. At a few feet it looks great though.
I needed a light between my 2 Lazy Boy chairs to read by. Looks great. Very happy with my decesion and the sales personal were helpfull and courteous.
This light is so beautiful! I am so happy to have found it. We are currently finishing our home addition and this light will go in our new dining room. Since we have not hung the light yet, I rated it a four star. However, I do not foresee any problem with that. I also bought the matching Walnut Mission mini-pendants to go over our breakfast nook and am very pleased with those as well.
Has a gold cast to light
Light fixture is stunning. Lots and lots of oohs and ahs when friends come over. Compliments are FLW inspired home beautifully!
We love this light, over our dining room table. It has transformed the room. There were some comments that it may be plastic, I called before ordering and it is indeed glass, as we found when it arrived.
This chandelier was the first product we bought and it prompted us to purchase several more. [...]
This is a great fixture for that Sante Fe look.
I used the micro mini cfl instant-on Bright White 100 watt bulbs(23w) and it lite up the whole dining area very well.
We hung this in our foyer and it looks terrific. It would also work well over a dining room table. It is supplied with a long electrical cord and chain, so it could be hung from a high ceiling.
I really love the chandelier over my dining room table, the lighting change the atmosphere of the entire room.
I am very pleased with this ceiling lamp. It is attractive, is easy to assemble and is well-constructed. In a review that I read before I purchased this light, the reviewer indicated that it is made of glass. This is absolutely not the case. This light is made of plastic. I purchased the light while it was on sale. At the sale price I am very pleased. I would not purchase it if it were not on sale.
This is a beautiful fixture that helps accent the room.
It's beautiful in our dining area. Definitely use with 100 watt bulbs and a dimmer switch.
The shade is very attractive and this chandalier pvovides more than enough light. We actually used 60 watt bulbs instead of 100. My major complaint is that the rods connecting the shade to the hanging chain are a kind of pewter color that does not go with the brown in the lamp or the brownish hanging rod in the "matching" mini chandelier.
I use this light fixture over my kitchen table. I absolutely love it - it fits perfectly in the room. I knew it would work as soon as I saw it hanging in the showroom. I am completely satisfied with it!
I can't say enough good things about this light. We purchased it to hang over our dining room table, and the glow that it gives off is stunning. We have a "southwest" flavor to our place, and this beautiful piece of art is perfect for the space.(Yes, it's real glass!) I had no problems putting it together. We had a dimmer installed along with the light. It looks like three times the price. Simply beautiful!
This fixture absolutely exceeded my expectations! Considering the fact that I thought it was wonderful when I ordered it, that's saying a lot! Because I own other stained glass pieces, I know that it's "real" glass, even though it may feel like plastic. The glow coming from it is awesome. It's on a dimmer and is beautiful from low to brightest light. The cuts of glass in amber and root beer are so reflective, and the antique brass finish just completes the whole package. The only drawback was during installation, when the electrician had to switch out the screws on the mounting bracket because he couldn't get the ones that came with the fixture to hold. He said they were too short. Oh, and you cannot beat the price!! It looks like it's easly worth three times as much. Great, secure packaging too. If this is your style, don't hesitate!
I use this lamp with a dimmer, and have it hung over the dining room table. It uses regular Edison type incandescent lamps (60-100)watts; so it provides great illumination. I'd buy it again if I needed another hanging lamp, and I really think it is beautiful in the Tiffany style. It's expensive, but worth it!
We purcahsed this lamp after looking for many months for the perfect lighting for our entry. Not only did it come perfectly packed wtihout any damage, it was even more beautiful than we thought.
The height was perfect - just clearing the front door when opened.
Deffinately does look like grass. I am sure that it is not a glass. but it looks so nice and that who cares. I love my room with it

USTA Announces 2008 U.S. Paralympic Tennis Team
U.S. head coach Dan James announced the men's team which will be led by: Lee Hinson of Jacksonville, Fla., Paul Moran of Northfield, Ill., Jon Rydberg of Oakdale, Minn., and Steve Welch of Arlington, Texas. The women's team will feature: Beth Arnoult of Paia, Hawaii, and Kaitlyn Verfuerth of Port Washington, Wis. The quad team will be: Brent Poppen of Paso Robles, Calif., Nick Taylor of Wichita, Kan., and David Wagner of Hillsboro, Ore. The team selection was based on ITF World Rankings from May 19, 2008.
James, of Oakdale, Minn., will be joined by assistant coach Jason Hartnett of Irvine, Calif., as well as team leader David Schobel of White Plains, N.Y., and Bill Taylor of Wichita, Kan., who will be the personal care assistant.
This is the second time at the Paralympic Games that the quad division will be featured. In 2004, the quad team of David Wagner and Nick Taylor won the inaugural gold medal in doubles. World No. 1 David Wagner will also look to capture the gold in singles after claiming silver in 2004.
"The Paralympic Games provide yet another world stage for our athletes to showcase their skills and tell their stories," said Gordon Smith, Executive Director and COO, USTA. "We are proud to have these athletes representing the U.S. and we hope that they will inspire the next generation of American wheelchair champions and recreational players."
Wheelchair tennis was introduced to the Paralympic program in 1988 as an exhibition event before becoming a full medal sport at the 1992 Paralympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. Paralympic tennis is an open competition, eligible to those athletes with a mobility-related disability, and all competitors must compete in a wheelchair. More than 4,000 elite athletes with a physical disability from around the world are expected to compete in the 2008 Paralympic Games.
The USTA was officially designated by the USOC as the national governing body for the Paralympic sport of wheelchair tennis in June 2002, becoming the first Olympic national governing body to earn this recognition. As the national governing body for wheelchair tennis, the USTA manages wheelchair tennis in the United States, including the sanctioning of tournaments, overseeing wheelchair rankings, creating and managing a High Performance program for developing elite disabled athletes, and selecting teams to compete internationally for the United States.
About the USTA
The USTA is the national governing body for the sport of tennis in the U.S. and the leader in promoting and developing the growth of tennis at every level -- from local communities to the highest level of the professional game. It owns and operates the US Open, the largest annually attended sporting event in the world, and launched the Olympus US Open Series linking 10 summer tournaments to the US Open. In addition, it owns the 94 Pro Circuit events throughout the U.S., and selects the teams for the Davis Cup, Fed Cup, Olympic and Paralympic Games. A not-for-profit organization with more than 725,000 members, it invests 100% of its proceeds in growing the game. For more information on the USTA, log on to usta.com.

Christiania, also known as Freetown Christiania (Danish: Fristaden Christiania) is a self-proclaimed autonomous neighbourhood of about 850 residents, covering 34 hectares (85 acres) in the borough of Christianshavn in the Danish capital Copenhagen.
Christiania has been a source of controversy since its creation in a squatted military area in 1971. Its cannabis trade was tolerated by authorities until 2004. Since then, measures for normalising the legal status of the community have led to conflicts, and negotiations are ongoing.
Among many Christiania residents, the community is known as staden ('the town'), short for fristaden ('the freetown').

Intel Corp. has released a new firmware for its 320-series solid-state drives to fix the so-called "8MB bug" when BIOS only recognizes 8MB of storage capacity of the drives. Even though, according to Intel, only a small amount of SSDs is affected, the chipmaker will replace solid-state drives to certain users.
Under certain circumstances, after an unexpected power loss, a small percentage of SSDs may experience this error on the next attempt to boot the system. In this situation, the system's BIOS reports an SSD as an 8MB capacity drive. Intel admitted earlier the "Bad Context 13x Error" as seen on select Intel SSD 320-series drives.
Intel has posted a firmware update for the Intel SSD 320-series (firmware 4PC10362) which addresses the Bad Context 13x Error and can be downloaded from the company's web-site.
For customers, who have already experienced a drive failure or encounter this problem before the firmware update was released, Intel advices to contact representative or Intel customer support for an SSD replacement. An alternative option is to use the Intel SSD Toolbox or similar tools to perform a secure erase in order to restore the SSD to an operational state; all data will be erased. After secure erase, update your SSD with the new firmware (which will not recover user data).
In order to provide the best user experience, Intel always recommends users download and install the latest firmware. As with any storage device, Intel recommends users frequently back up their data and periodically check for firmware updates.
Available in 40GB, 80GB, 120GB, 160GB, 300GB and 600GB versions, Intel SSD 320-series offers sequential write speeds up to 220MB/s, sequential read throughput at up to 270MB/s and produces up to 39 500 input/output operations per second (IOPS) random reads and 23 000 IOPS random writes on its highest-capacity drives. The SSDs are based on Intel's own proprietary firmware and controller. Intel uses spare area to deploy added redundancies that will help keep user data protected, even in the event of a power loss. The SSDs also include 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard capabilities on every drive, to help protect personal data in the event of theft or loss. The Intel 320-series SSDs use Serial ATA-300 interface and 25nm NAND flash memory.

As the glass front doors parted in front of him, Keith Tunnell stepped inside the sunlit lobby of 1033 W. Meeting St. and smiled.

City of Lancaster Councilwoman Tamara Green Garris invites the community to a free, voter ID workshop 7 p.m. Thursday, March 6, at St. Paul A.M.E. Church, 133 Pleasant Hill St.
The workshop is to inform voters of their responsibilities as "educated voters," she said.
U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham asked a lot of questions to supporters and spoke his mind during an appearance at the Lancaster County Republican Party meeting at Mike Williams Builders on Thursday, Feb. 20.
Graham, who expects a challenge from conservative activists, including the Tea Party movement, in the 2014 Senate primaries, worked to unite a divided party he considers the "heart and soul of America."
COLUMBIA – The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control has been notified of the state's first flu-associated death of the season.
"Tragically, a woman from Dorchester County has become our first lab-confirmed, influenza-associated death of the season," Dr. Linda Bell, state epidemiologist, said Nov. 7.
"We are in the early stages of our state's flu season. It's important to get vaccinated now. The vaccine takes about two weeks to build up your body's protection against the virus. Vaccination is by far the best way to prevent the spread of the flu."
HEATH SPRINGS – Technologically speaking, the town of Heath Springs is moving on up.
At the Oct. 15 town council meeting, the council reviewed quotes to replace the town's current computer system, which Town Administrator Tony Starnes said has become a vital necessity.

It appears the city of Lancaster wants to come onboard with the effort to restrict smoking in the county.
At its Tuesday, July 23, meeting, Lancaster City Council voted unanimously to approve first reading of a city ordinance to ban smoking in restaurants, bars and other public-access places.
The ordinance draft is similar to the ones already adopted by Lancaster County Council, Kershaw Town Council and Heath Springs Town Council.
KERSHAW – Kershaw Town Council will have a different look this year.
Two of its members have chosen not to seek re-election. They are District 3 Councilman Randy Seegars and District 4 Councilman Morris Russell.
Seegars, who's in his first term, said his health is the sole reason he's not seeking re-election. He's dealing with knee issues and a hernia, and has two upcoming surgeries, he said.
Within the last year, he believes he's missed five or six Town Council meetings for health reasons.
Here's a look at the unofficial Lancaster County vote totals for candidates on Tuesday's ballot. Local totals include all precincts. Local votes in the races for the S.C. House and S.C. Senate are for Lancaster County only. State votes include all counties (42 of 46) reported by 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 7.

Then walk up the well maintained trail for 45 minutes to the World Peace Pagoda - stopping at one of the tea houses on the way if you need a break.
Linger at the Pagoda for a while, learning about the significance of this active Buddhist stupa, and the stroll for 10 minutes along the ridge to the gates of Raniban.
By Vehicle
By taxi or private car from Lakeside, the bus park or the airport you pass through Damside and past Devi's Falls, following signs to the World Peace Pagoda, and to Raniban Retreat.
After 10 minutes, reach the top parking & access to the Pagoda on your right. 50 metres further, on the left are the gates to Raniban and our private parking.
By either route, the last few minutes are on foot - up 500 stone steps to a welcome drink on our terrace.
Located Near
Raniban retreat's nearest neighbour is the World Peace Pagoda, which sits on a wooded ridge above the City of Pokhara and Lake Fewa.
We are a few minutes beyond, and above, the Pagoda as you travel on foot or by vehicle from Pokhara.
Apart from the Pagoda, our neighbours are the paragliders across the lake at Sarangkot, and three of the highest mountains in the world, spread out in a 200km vista.
The weather is our backdrop too, rolling up and down the valley with ever changing moods.

MSU's Commitment
As Montana's land-grant institution, Montana State University is dedicated to serving the people of Montana. This service is provided primarily through education, research and outreach. Though MSU continues to evolve to meet the state's most pressing needs, its dedication to service and outreach has remained central to its mission.
Diverse Disciplines, Diverse Geography
Through its diverse academic offerings and statewide geographic presence, MSU provides education, resources and programs that help all Montanans. In addition to the Bozeman campus, MSU encompasses seven Montana Agricultural Experiment Station research centers, and county Extension offices that serve all 56 counties. With academic colleges in agriculture; arts and architecture; business; education, health and human development; engineering; letters and science; nursing; university college; MSU's expertise spans many disciplines, helping to improve the daily lives of Montanans in rural and urban areas alike.
History of Service Mission
The Morrill Land-Grant Act of 1862 established land-grant institutions across the nation to meet growing demand for academic opportunities and provide citizens practical education with relevance to their daily lives. Subsequent federal acts, including the Hatch Act of 1887 which established agricultural experiment stations, and the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 which created the Extension Service to assist with educational outreach throughout the state, deepened MSU's responsibility to serve the citizens of Montana.

I wish to inform the House that pursuant to order made on Monday, December 7, 2009, the Standing Committee on Finance deposited its fifth report with the Clerk of the House on Tuesday, December 8, 2009, at 10:03 p.m.

David Sweet Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure today to rise on behalf of the great hockey-loving people of Dundas, Ontario, in support of their bid to become Kraft Hockeyville for 2010.
Dundas has a long and proud history of hockey and is most deserving of this honour. After all, the J.L. Grightmire Arena in Dundas has a reputation as the best small town arena in Ontario. For over six decades, it has been home to minor hockey leagues, junior hockey teams, women's hockey and two senior triple-A hockey teams, the Dundas Blues and the Dundas Real McCoys.
Among the dignitaries who have put Dundas on the hockey map are the NHL's New York Rangers who played an exhibition game there in 1956, and Canadian Olympic gold medallist Barbara Ann Scott who cut the official ribbon to open the arena in 1950.
Dundasians have voted with their ice skates in showing their dedication to hockey. In fact the arena is the oldest and most used arena in the Hamilton area.
To emulate the slogan for one of the brands for which Kraft is well known, the people of Dundas are saying in unison, "It's gotta be Dundas". I proudly add my voice to this campaign for 2010 Hockeyville.
Temporary Foreign Workers
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Gurbax Malhi Bramalea—Gore—Malton, ON
Mr. Speaker, a report released last month by the Auditor General on Canada's immigration system, in particular, the temporary foreign worker program, has shown that major oversights by the federal government have resulted in the abuse of foreign workers employed in Canada.
It appears that this government is blindly changing and implementing new policies without assessing or understanding the potential consequences.
In particular, immigration responsibilities are increasingly being shifted to the provinces, but specific oversight measures required to monitor and ensure the safety of foreign workers and to identify fraud and abuses have largely remained unemployed.
Our country stands by the firm belief of protecting and upholding human rights. Therefore, I call upon the minister and the government to act immediately to stop the abuses that are taking place right under our roof.

Yves Lessard Chambly—Borduas, QC
Mr. Speaker, in October 2009, Gisèle Viau, a fifth grade teacher at École Le Tournesol in Béloeil, was awarded a certificate of achievement for teaching excellence.
This teacher has done a remarkable job integrating technology into her teaching and into the daily lives of her students, to whom she is extremely committed.
Ms. Viau paired her students with others from around the globe, taking them on a virtual around the world tour, through which her students learned to apply copyright principles, to hold an international videoconference, to participate in national projects, and so much more.
She has developed a living environment that promotes children's well-being and has shown them the possibilities afforded by modern technology.
On behalf of my Bloc Québécois colleagues, I would like to congratulate this exceptional teacher.

Mr. Speaker, this past year, the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development was privileged to hear testimony from many leading Canadian scientists on the impact of oil sands operations on water resources.
Federal officials and industry witnesses defended their monitoring programs, including the industry funded RAMP, reporting no evidence of contamination in the Athabasca watershed and asserting that the majority of contaminants were from natural sources and posed no risk to human health or the environment.
Testimony by university and independent scientists offered a contrary view and serious concerns with government and industry-led monitoring. A peer review of RAMP showed it lacked scientific oversight, transparency and scientific veracity. We were advised a peer reviewed study was imminent.
This report, now published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and co-authored by the lead scientist, Dr. David Schindler, provides clear evidence that the oil sands operations are emitting, and have been emitting, levels of contaminants that put the Athabasca River and tributaries at serious risk.
The results pose serious questions about the failed assertion of federal environmental powers today and—

Sylvie Boucher Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to Plan Nagua, an organization in my riding, for the outstanding work it does.
Plan Nagua was created 40 years ago as a result of a project that eight students carried out in the Dominican Republic. Today it has nearly 30 employees, two overseas offices and a social economy enterprise, CAFÉ Nagua.
Plan Nagua focuses on four areas: international cooperation, educating Quebeckers about the reality of developing countries, international internships and equitable tourism, and fair trade.
This year marks the organization's 40th anniversary, and 2009 has been filled with activities to recognize everyone who has contributed in any way to the organization's success.
I congratulate you on all your wonderful projects and great accomplishments. You always have my support. Happy 40th anniversary.
Easter Seals Christmas Party

Bonnie Crombie Mississauga—Streetsville, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to the Streetsville Rotary Club for all the tremendous work it does for our community. The club, along with the Mississauga West Club and, this year, the Credit Valley, Airport Road and Dixie Rotaries, organized the annual Easter Seals Christmas party.
The Christmas party is the highlight of the year for 170 Easter Seals kids and 70 members of their families in Mississauga.
As well as including a light lunch for the kids and parents, the event has clowns, face painting, animated costume characters, singalongs and, of course, a picture and a loot bag from Santa Claus.
The hit of the party was the Nerf ball snowball fight with Peel Regional Police, who take time away from their busy duties every year for this event.
Immediately following the party, the families moved up to Queen Street to a reserved spot to watch the annual Santa Claus parade in Streetsville.
I want to thank especially Bob Marr, Brian Atchison, Duncan Willock, Doug Gerrard and all the volunteers for their hard work.
Mr. Speaker, I wish my constituents and all of my colleagues on both sides of the House and you a Merry Christmas and peace—

Temporary Foreign Workers

Rick Dykstra St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about Canada's temporary foreign worker program and the workers and employers who participate in it.
High labour intensity agriculture in Canada depends on the use of temporary foreign workers and many workers and their families from overseas depend on seasonal jobs here in Canada.
I have been meeting with employers in Ontario and from around the country to discuss the need that this program fills. Employers, from my region of Niagara to the east and west coasts, are united around the economic necessity of the temporary foreign worker program.
Temporary foreign workers support Canadian jobs and Canadian companies, as well as their families in their home countries. That is why we should welcome them and support the program that allows them to come here.
This is a made in Canada foreign aid program and it is happening right here in our country.
Canada Post

December 9th, 2009 / 2:10 p.m.
Carole Freeman Châteauguay—Saint-Constant, QC
Mr. Speaker, for several weeks now, officials in several small municipalities in my riding—Delson, Saint-Mathieu, Sainte-Catherine, Saint-Constant, Saint-Isidore, Mercier and Kahnawake—have been concerned about the survival of their postal service. The postmasters and the people in those communities are worried as well.
The Canadian Postal Service Charter issued on September 12 announced that the moratorium on closures of rural post offices would be maintained. Yet that same document also explains the procedure for closing post offices. Pardon me for doubting this government's sincerity.
Closing rural post offices would create division between urban and rural dwellers and could lead to greater isolation of people with reduced mobility and seniors. This public service is necessary for communities' economic viability and social identity.
That is why more than 3,000 people in my riding signed a petition that I have presented on two occasions in the House, calling on the government to maintain the moratorium on—

Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Bloc leader knows that he has not produced results and has remained seated during the votes far too often. So this morning, he got out his club in an attempt to defend himself and put on a bit of a show. Having achieved nothing for Quebeckers in 2009, the Bloc is once again trying to justify its presence in Ottawa.
I cannot understand that attitude. We all remember the many times when Bloc members have stayed in their seats instead of standing up to support Quebeckers. The Bloc talks and talks, but it does not stand up.
The government is taking action. Implementing our economic action plan is still the priority.
Everyone—communities, businesses and workers affected by the global economic slowdown—is benefiting. One of the major facets of the economic action plan, the work-sharing program, is enabling workers in Canada and Quebec to keep their jobs during periods of economic slowdown. This is good for employers and employees, and it helps prevent layoffs.
Unlike the Bloc, our Conservative government is taking action.
Rural Postal Service
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Anthony Rota Nipissing—Timiskaming, ON
Mr. Speaker, mail delivery in our communities is very important to Canadians.
Seniors in particular are suffering because of the Conservative government's approach to this issue. This government is responsible for cancelling service to some 55,000 mailboxes and closing 42 post offices across Canada.
Rural Canadians are telling us that they want this to stop, and we, the Liberals, are protecting their interests and universal postal services across Canada.
In many regions, people have been told that many post offices will not be reopened. That is no way to treat rural Canadians.
People living in rural regions are the backbone of this nation, and universal service is one of the elements keeping this country united.
The Conservative government says that it is a friend to rural regions, but its actions say otherwise.

He's showing late-inning stuff, though. Santos hasn't been 0.73 ERA-level good, but he has posted rates of 11.68 K/9 and 3.65 BB/9, with a 45.8 percent ground ball rate and a 2.62 xFIP. It's only 12.1 innings, but Santos is succeeding with 95-96 MPH heat, mid-80's breaking stuff and a hard changeup. His swinging strike rate is 14.4 percent (the average for relievers is between 9-10 percent), and his 65 percent contact rate is fourth-lowest among MLB relievers logging at least 10 innings pitched.

Crystal Family Home Penang is a non-profit, voluntary welfare organisation established to assist children in need of a safe home. The home provides shelter for children who come from abused, orphaned, neglected and impoverished backgrounds, as well as those who are raised by grandparents who are no longer able to care for them.
The resort provides the home with structural maintenance, refurbishment and gives educational, health and living skills support to the children through staff training and donation drives.
Living Clean and Healthy
To enhance the overall living conditions at the home, the resort has helped with its overall cleaning and refurbishment, including the painting of the home, installation of smoke detectors and dispensers for hand soap, and providing sponsored cleaning materials and supplies for floors and toilets.
Hygiene is paramount, thus Golden Sands Resort by Shangri-La has taken the initiative of conducting Typhoid Vaccination and Talks with food handlers to ensure all of the food preparation for the children is done hygienically. Partners in these workshops include the resort's health contractors and the local Health Department.
Latest News
On September 17, 2012, the home's children were registered in a popular daily's annual sporting event, Starwalk. The children were accompanied by the resort staff throughout the walk. Participation fees, new socks, shoes, caps and refreshments for each child were sponsored by the resort.

My2K and the Fiscal Cliff: Like We Need Another Gimmick
I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment -- if the Bush tax cuts expire, President Obama claims the average middle-class family will pay about $2,200 more in taxes. That's not a good thing. So, he wants to "protect" tax breaks for those making less than $250,000 a year, while hitting folks above that level quite a bit harder, particularly investors and the self-employed.
I can see both sides of the coin. Warren Buffett makes a lot of sense. So do other millionaires and billionaires who say they actually want to be/should be taxed at higher rates. At the same time, I catch the drift of the trickle-down economics folks, even though that way of being has never really worked out all that well.
But set the political debate aside. Your perspective, your circumstances and your experiences dictate your position. Most of us can take any of these arguments and argue them effectively.
There's no right or wrong when you're talking about the impact of taxes on economies and individual success. It's far too complicated of an issue to come down to a dichotomy.
It bugs me the White House is using a gimmick. A play on words. Or a play on past unfounded fears if you will to drum up support for its stance. Do we really need another gimmick?
It's one thing for CNBC to go hardcore with its "Rise Above" promotion. I can get with that. It's about time a media organization stepped out and attempted to influence the conversation and it's doing great work over there.
But it can access theatre of the mind. It can devise fancy slogans. It's CNBC's job to drive ratings and, subsequently, advertising dollars. CNBC does not work for the American people. It has one and only one obligation -- to inform people while entertaining them. That's what successful and engaging media does.
A politician needs to, in many ways, do the same thing. But what happened to the power of persuasion, or good old-fashioned rhetoric? I thought that's what Obama is supposed be a good at. He's the great rhetorician, the master orator of our time.The best he and his team could come up with was #My2K?
This must be a bad dream.
