Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with U.S.-based Syrian activists and members of the Syrian-American community in Washington, D.C. on August 2, 2011. Following their meeting, Secretary Clinton released the following press statement:
"I met today with a small group of U.S.-based Syrian activists and members of the Syrian-American community to express our profound sympathy for all Syrian victims of the Assad regime's abuse of its own citizens. In our discussion, the activists reaffirmed the internal opposition's vision of a transition plan for a Syria that will be representative, inclusive and pluralistic; a new, united Syria with a government subject to the rule of law and fully respectful of the equality of all Syrians, irrespective of sect, ethnicity or gender. I encouraged the activists to work closely with their colleagues inside Syria to create this unified vision.
"I admire the courage of those brave Syrians, both inside and outside Syria, who continue to defy their government's brutality in order to freely express their universal rights. And I remain confident in the Syrian people's ability to chart a new course for Syria's future.
"As I told the activists today, the United States will continue to support the Syrian people in their efforts to begin a peaceful and orderly transition to democracy in Syria and to have their aspirations realized. We have nothing invested in the continuation of a regime that must kill, imprison and torture its own citizens to maintain power.
"The United States is working to move forward with additional targeted sanctions under existing authorities. We are exploring broader sanctions that will isolate the Assad regime politically and deny it revenue with which to sustain its brutality. The United Nations Security Council has also consulted this week on the escalating violence in Syria. Our view remains that strong action by the Security Council on the targeting of innocent civilians in Syria is long overdue. Some members of the Security Council continue to oppose any action that would call on President Assad to stop the killing, and we urge them to reconsider their positions."

The OIC has a permanent delegation to the United Nations, and describes itself as the second largest international organization after the United Nations.
The member states of the OIC are also UN members. Doesn't this create a situation in which some states are represented twice while other member states are represented only once?
Most OIC member countries are non-democratic.

Munzer in Syria,
It doesn't take much to figure out you work for the Syrian government from reading your post...and when you figure out your government is lieing to you and has brainwashed you to believe what you say...I pity you upon the realization...or did they simply pay you to post that on this blog as disinformation...in which case you arn't fooling anyone and you might as well give it up because your minders will probably want their money back after reading my post to you.
You know when Russia's Mr. Medvedev says Assad is looking to suffer "a sad fate", that isn't the product of American brainwashing...(chuckle)...we arn't that good at it anyway....and why would the Syrian people do this on our say so when they have decades of Assad's repression to thank him for by hanging his carcass on a meathook as soon as they can possibly get their hands on him?
Because of people like you that have supported Assad...pure and simple...he wouldn't have gotten away with this so long otherwise.
Hope you're proud of being used by that regime, but we ain't buying what you're selling, because it's just a turd you think you can chrome and polish real bright and sell as a trinket to idiots...it still stinks man, and your cover's blown.
See YA!
Azad in Iraq writes:
"According to Report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty of 2001, state is responsible to protect the rights of its citizen, but when it
fails in doing so causing grave violations of their rights, this responsibility shifts to the
International community to apply the needed methods including the use of force as a last resort
to prevent further deterioration†(Azad Dewani, p. 21, 2010; ICISS, 2001, p. xi; p. 13).
First of all, in order to look for an appropriate response, the US Administration should consider Bashar Al Assad regime as a dictatorship similar to that of Saddam Hussein and Al Qadhafi; Al Assad dictator cannot convert himself to be reformer because reforms contradict with his illegal power and long term military regime.
Less harmful military response as an operation of humanitarian intervention authorized by the UN Security Council can be the proper response because sanctions and other provisions proved fruitless. On the contrary, regime violence and resulting casualties among civilians have fearfully grown.
The current military regime is threatening the regional stability by supporting Hezbollah, Hamas, and Jihadist groups in Iraq. In addition, it could constitute serious threat for the international security if it succeeded in possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction.
It is also plausible to predict that inaction in the Syrian crisis will lead to the emergence of Jihadist groups inside Syria pushing the regional stability to more tension and possible conflict.
On the other hand, toppling this dictatorship could be a helpful factor for Peace and Democracy in the region, especially if the Free World succeeded in help Syrians to establish their non-centralized democracy under the role of parliament. The Free World should play the leading role in the Syrian crisis.
Syrians need progressive Democracy guided by the Free World.

Federal building ownership is often more cost-effective than leasing to meet long-term space needs, and its increased use could save millions of dollars over the period used. Federal agencies rely extensively on leasing, and leased about 289 million square feet of buildings in 2008. The General Services Administration (GSA), the central leasing agent for most agencies, leases more than 8,000 assets and now leases more space than it owns.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is responsible for reviewing agencies' progress on real property management and chairs the Federal Real Property Council, which includes representatives from major property-holding agencies. Congressional committees that provide oversight of this area include the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, House Transportation and Infrastructure, House Oversight and Government Reform, and appropriations committees.
GAO added managing federal real property to its high-risk list in 2003 due in part to costly leasing.
GAO's work over the years has repeatedly shown that building ownership often costs less than operating leases, especially for long-term space needs.
While federal ownership is less expensive than leasing in many cases, in certain situations it is not. For example, in 2008, GAO found that for three of seven GSA leases it analyzed, leasing was less costly than construction by $35 million over 30 years. Agency operational requirements such as immediate space needs, security requirements, or desire for flexibility as well as short-term or small space needs are also situations where leasing is often preferred by agencies and may be economically advantageous over ownership.
Federal budget scorekeeping rules require the full cost of construction to be recorded upfront in the budget, whereas only the annual lease payments plus cancellation costs need to be recorded for operating leases. As a result, leases appear less expensive in any single year when compared to new construction even though they generally are more costly over time. GAO has raised the scorekeeping issue as a challenge that needs to be addressed in several reports and testimonies over the past 20 years. According to GSA officials, constraints on capital funding influence their ability to pursue ownership as a realistic option in many cases. If not addressed, GAO expects continued reliance on leasing at a potentially high cost over the long term.
The Federal Real Property Profile, a real property inventory, is an important tool available to track governmentwide trends on real property management, including leasing. Updated annually, it includes information helpful to measuring overall volume as well as annual operating costs of leased versus owned properties, among other factors.
OMB has not yet implemented GAO's recommendation, made in April 2007 and January 2008, to develop a strategy to reduce agencies' reliance on costly leasing where ownership would result in long-term savings. Such a strategy could identify the conditions under which leasing is an acceptable alternative, include an analysis of real property budget scoring issues, and provide an assessment of viable alternatives. This strategy would inform future decision making on this difficult issue. As GAO reported in January 2008, implementation challenges such as obtaining consensus on specific changes to scoring rules are expected. Efforts to resolve the leasing challenge could benefit from input from Federal Real Property Council and stakeholders, including Congress.
The information contained in this analysis is based on the related GAO products listed under the "Related GAO Products" tab, interviews with federal government officials at OMB and major property holding agencies including GSA, and analysis of governmentwide and agency-level real property plans and reports.

January 24, 2011 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Fundamentals of Breastfeeding; an 18 Hour Course
SUBJECT 2: Revised nutrition policies since the release of the 2010-2011 WOM
SUBJECT 3: Discontinuation of Best Choice and Always Save 46 oz. Canned Juices
SUBJECT 4: Caseload
SUBJECT 5: Response Requested: Microcuvettes & Analyzers
Fundamentals of Breastfeeding; an 18 Hour Course: The state WIC office is hosting a basic 18 hour breastfeeding course in three different locations throughout the state- St. Charles, Springfield and Sedalia. This training is meant for nutritionists, nurses and peer counselors who need a comprehensive course to prepare them to assist breastfeeding mothers with normal lactation and common breastfeeding challenges. Please complete the attached registration form and fax to 573-526-1470 or email to email@example.com. There is a lot of interest in this training and seating is limited. We are opening up registration to those outside of WIC, so if you are interested in attending, please register as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Mertzlufft at 573-526-4792 or by email at the address above.
2. Revised nutrition policies since the release of the 2010-2011 WOM: Nutrition policies that have been revised since the release of the 2010-2011 WOM are now posted on the WIC Website at: http://health.mo.gov/living/families/wic/wiclwp/policies.php under the section titled "Revised WOM Policies." Posting all the revised policies since the release of the 2010-2011 WOM in one area will assist staff in locating the revised policies. If you have any questions, please contact your district TA team.
3. Discontinuation of Best Choice and Always Save 46 oz. Canned Juices: The state WIC office received notification that the 46 ounce canned varieties of Best Choice and Always Save juices have been discontinued by the manufacturer. Authorized WIC Retail stores that stock these brands of 46 ounce canned juices will no longer have access to order these products for WIC customers. WIC families should select an approved flavor(s) of 12 ounce frozen juice concentrate if the store does not have any approved flavors of 46 oz. canned juice in stock. The other option for families is to redeem their WIC checks at an authorized store that has access to an approved 46 oz. canned juice.
Please share this information with families that shop at retail stores that stock these brands of WIC approved juices. If you have any questions, please contact the Vendor Group at the state WIC office at 573-751-6204.
4. Caseload: Concern has been expressed by some local WIC agencies that their caseload has declined in the first quarter of the 2011 program year. October 2010's participation count was a 3.4% drop from the immediately preceding September, which is unusual based on the past two years' data. See attached graph. However, Missouri's experience is consistent with national trends that have been shifting downward since October 2009. See attached graph.
Caseload 2011 contract amounts were projected by local WIC providers and the state agency in June 2010. At this time participation was continuing to be high and a decrease was not anticipated. Some possible reasons for decreasing caseload include:
- Many local WIC agencies were closed (or had fewer clinic appointments) the last week of October due to staff attending the WIC conference.
- Birthrates have been declining since 2009, which means a smaller eligible pool of potential participants.
- Due to strained local budgets some local WIC agencies have reduced or eliminated outreach efforts.
- Some states report a potential chilling effect of anti-immigrant policies and sentiments.
- Some participants may be getting jobs and thus are no longer eligible for program services.
- With the improving economy, people who never before sought WIC services did so at the beginning of the economic crisis. They may have decided not to continue with WIC.
Actions local WIC providers can take include:
- Examine your local economic conditions – are businesses hiring, are people relocating to other areas for employment opportunities, are more people working and unable to get to the clinic for services, etc.
- Take advantage of outreach opportunities – review your local outreach plan, implement previously successful strategies, talk with other agencies that are serving similar groups, work collaboratively with other agencies and organizations to promote program services, etc.
- Review clinic operations and assess the customer service - are all participants warmly greeted and treated in a friendly manner, is the clinic open when eligible working people can access services, are no-shows contacted and rescheduled, etc.
As in the past, the state office will work closely with local agencies to discuss whether and when caseload adjustments are needed. Please work with your TA staff on the particulars of your situation. If you have questions about the attached graphs, please contact Jim Schindler at email@example.com or at 573-751-6194.
5. Response Requested--Microcuvettes & Analyzers: It is time to order microcuvettes by completing the survey. Please follow the instructions below to assure your agency receives your supply of microcuvettes and analyzer.
- Microcuvette Survey: Please complete and return the attached survey via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com by Monday, February 7, 2011. This will assure no interruption in the supply of microcuvettes.
- Microcuvette Order: The information from the survey will be used to identify the current supply on hand at each agency and to estimate the needs of each agency for the next six months. The microcuvette order will be shipped directly to your agency.
- Analyzers: Analyzers are also available to agencies by completing the request and justification. Tell us why you need the analyzer: replace current analyzer; expand services at another room/satellite site; more efficient work flow; other: explain.
Local WIC Provider Confirmation: When you receive the order please do the following:
a. Verify the number of microcuvettes received with the number listed on the packing slip.d. If the number of microcuvettes received is different from the packing slip, please call Leslie Worrell at 800-392-8209 or (573) 526-4622. Thank you for your cooperation.
b. If the number of microcuvettes in the package is the same as the packing slip, sign and date the packing slip.
c. Fax the packing slip to Leslie Worrell at the State WIC Office within one (1) week of receiving the shipment. The fax number is (573) 526-1470.

Skip to comments.Hillary Strikes Back: Attaches U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to Obama White House Propaganda Messaging
Posted on 10/13/2012 6:30:02 PM PDT by bannie
The Clintons are clearly on a divergent path than President Obama. Hillary just Judod Obama in this informative article posted in the UK Daily Mail. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2215431/Death-U-S-ambassador-Chris-Stevens-revealed-AK-47s-grenade-attacks-smoke-filled-safe-room.html?ITO=1490
..and even at the Memorial Service for the Ambassador
All the early voting in the world can't make up for all that he'll lose as the popcorn burns.
All I know is that, this is not what the Obama Administration had planned to be occuring at this critical stage of the 2012 election in October! Someone or Something FUC^ED UP!
If she lies under oath, the public will be able to see thru here lies.
Put here under oath and let her say the don't recalls, the following orders, etc. If she does that, she will be exposed. Bury that lying Bit$h under oath.
This is what i think I read there in a nutshell. Please correct me if I'm wrong...
That the O admin provided arms to Libyan rebels who were Al Qaeda.
Obama admin provided arms to al Qaeda.
In the early days, she was on the committee trying to get Nixon thrown out of office because of Watergate. She personally wrote the document which said that Nixon had no right to secure a lawyer. She is one crafty she-devil.
Good luck toots.
Possibly, but Clinton is way out on the limb with the YouTube story, I think she has to stick with it, or go all the way and admit she was pressured by Obama, she has to at least give a plausible reason why she lied for days to the public. I have to wonder, could the state department be turning on Hillary?
I'm waiting for more info, too. Those Clinton's are slippery!
We have to send out-—WAY OUT—for the news. ;)
...Now it all makes sense......traitors all.
Looks like she's throwing Rice under the bus for that...or did I just read that part in, myself?
Romney can whack The Disaster over the head with Hillary in the debate Tuesday. When your enemy is not sure footed keep pushing him.
Go for it Hillary, just do it.
Luckily for me, I didn't have a mouth full of soda when I looked at that! That's GREAT!
You are right that this could not have come at a worse time.
The Disaster is sitting on an exploding toilet.
0bama would have traded the Blind
Sheik for the captured Ambassador.
She's an old pro. She has had her escape route planned out for days.
She's the "screwER" and NOT the "screwEE." ;)
I think that she has it all mapped out. She and bubba have probably worked for days on this. ;)
It's going to be interesting!
yeah, ask Ken Starr about Hillary ("I don't recall") Clinton under oath.
From your lips to God's ears.
Bill Clinton's back in the campaign game big time Associated Press 11 hrs ago
The base picture belongs to Trey Ratcliff.
You should be ashamed of yourself for theft of copyright !
The base picture belongs to Trey Ratcliff.
That sounds plausible. :(
I wonder if all the career employees at State (maybe even other departments) are starting to wake up and see that the politicians are a threat to them - no one wants to be without a chair when the music stops.
There it is! I bet Hillary and Bubba end up in the sack again before this is over! He's A L IIIII V E!!
FYI..check out thedetailed story on the Powerline blog..there's a link to it on RealClearPolitics
That, sir, is no joke. Liberals will parse the truth into the most minute detail, then rearrange it to fit what ever conceptions they envision, all the while bogging down the country with their dissembling. This forum does not allow me to express what end they should meet.
Egad, Ol' Bill has NOT aged well.
Hillary Clinton reveals what really led to Benghazi massacre
I may have missed somethings here, but I know Clinton has repeatedly condemned the movie, but did she ever actually say it caused the attack? Being Bubba's wife she would know how to parse words with great skill. If someone has a vid or a quoye where she actually blames the vid, I will stand corrected.
Lawyers. They go to special schools to LEARN to LIE for a living.
He had to rearrange things to have all of his most essential America-hating crew working directly with him.
Especially since the Brits, who traditionally will be willing to go where few others would, had pulled out of Benghazi long before.
The question is; Why did we still have people there with no protection when even the Brits said it was too dangerous for them?
When a Brit says it's too dangerous, I'd pay attention.
Hillary has some explaining to do. This was on her watch. I will never forget the picture of her as a young leftist lawyer at the Watergate hearings sitting there with her holier than thou look and out to skewer President Nixon.
What did you know and when did you know it, Mrs. Clinton?
We need to see this as a crisis to not let go to waste. In so much as when the klintoon "payback's a MFr" machine gets cranked up it will flame nobama from a side Mitt can only dream about.
We need to see this as a crisis to not let go to waste. In so much as when the klintoon "payback's a MFr" machine gets cranked up it will flame nobama from a side Mitt can only dream about.
so in the debate, Biden says "we" did not know about requests for additional security in Benghazi (in spite of testiomny in Congress just a day or two earlier that such requests HAD been made), and now state dept says "we" were not of the opinion the attack was a result of the anti-Islam" video
is this a portrait of a disentegrating admin or what?
Here is a blog everyone needs to read throughout this saga.
Written by someone who worked in the State Department
" The master of the double deal is Undersecretary for Management Kennedy, whom I have known for twenty years. Whatever he says in front of the committee, which will be a "sort of" defense of the Department and White House leadership in the Benghazi fiasco, you can be sure that behind the scenes he and his acolytes are throwing Clinton, Rice, etc., under the bus. He is not about to go down in flames alone. He will not throw himself on the grenade to save Clinton and Rice and Obama. If he dies, they die, too."
nordstrom said it. i believe him.
"When lawyers lie to Congress, they get a promotion."

Fuerbringer Lucena Go 2 to 0 in Moscow Pool Play

E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 9, 2012) – The Chase for London continued Saturday at the Moscow Grand Slam in Russia as the U.S. men's beach volleyball team of Matt Fuerbringer and Nick Lucena opened pool play going 2-0, while Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal are 1-1.
On the women's side, the U.S. beach volleyball teams of Jen Kessy and April Ross along with Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh both advanced to the second round.
The Moscow Grand Slam is part of the 2012 FIVB SWATCH World Tour.
Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Lucena (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) went into Moscow trailing Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.) by 40 points in the race for the second men's slot on the U.S. Olympic beach volleyball team.
However, Fuerbringer and Lucena, seeded No. 7, opened pool play with victories over Poland's No. 26-seeded team of Michal Kadziola and Jakub Szalankiewicz (21-15, 29-31, 15-7 in 1 hour, 1 minute) and Germany's 23rd-seeded David Klemperer and Eric Koreng (21-14, 15-21, 15-8 in 50 minutes.).
On Sunday, Fuerbringer and Lucena will complete pool play against Russia's No. 10 Yaroslav Koshkarev and Konstantin Semenov. The first round of single elimination will also be played on Sunday.
Gibb and Rosenthal fell to Russia's ninth-ranked Yury Bogatov and Serguei Prokopiev to open pool play, 21-19, 21-16 in 41 minutes. The U.S. pair bounced back to defeat Switzerland's 24th-seeded Patrick Heuscher and Jefferson Bellaguarda, 21-14, 21-12 in 34 minutes.
Gibb and Rosenthal will conclude pool play on Sunday against Switzerland's No. 25-seeded Sasha Heyer and Sebastian Chevallier.
In the women's main draw, Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.), the No. 4 seeds, finished pool play with a 21-13, 21-12 victory in 33 minutes over Belgium's No. 23-seeded Liesbeth Mouha and Katrien Gielen.
The U.S. pair advanced to the second round where they will face Italy's No. 8 Greta Cicolari and Marta Menegatti on Sunday. Round 3 will also be played on Sunday.
May-Treanor (Santa Monica, Calif.) and Walsh (San Jose, Calif.), seeded No. 6, won their final pool play match over Germany's 11th-seeded team of Sarah Goller and Laura Ludwig, 22-20, 21-13 in 37 minutes.
In Sunday's second round they will play Russia's No. 9 Anastasia Vasina and Anna Vozakova.
If Kessy/Ross and May-Treanor/Walsh both win their second-round matches, they will play each other in the third round.

Engagement Tips from the Sunriver Experts
Like the tree at Rockefeller Plaza or the beach on St. Croix, Sunriver Resort has been the scene of many a romantic engagement.
Valentine's Day is widely considered to be the passionate closing date to the franetic "engagement season," which begins with the warm and cozy Thanksgiving holiday, and carries through the many events of Christmas and New Year's before ending on February 14.
According to the Sunriver Resort concierge team, who is specially trained in the fine art of engagement planning, there are three basic tenets to the perfect engagement. We share them below.
Make it personal
One of the reasons so many couples choose Sunriver Resort is because it holds special memories among them. Recreating a first date, a favorite activity, an inside joke, or a special milestone is the very best way to make an engagement feel both authentic and special.
Make it easy
Some might disagree with this theory, but the Sunriver Resort concierge team believes that simple is better. So often grooms get carried away with the (sometimes literally) "song and dance" of a proposal that it can begin to feel staged, awkward, or over-produced. Unless you are going for a youtube record, keep in mind that your end goal is to spend the rest of your life with this woman!
Make it a SURPRISE
The Sunriver team is adamant that this one is pivotal. But while "surprised" is good, "caught off guard" is not. Make sure she has an opportunity to look nice, take the time to size your ring in advance, and be sure to line up a way to capture the moment – a clandestine photographer, videographer, or good friend with an iphone will do the trick!
Do you know anyone who has proposed at Sunriver Resort? Tell us your story!

Raymonde Folco Laval West, QC
Mr. Speaker, Father Marcel de la Sablonnière, or Father Sablon to those who knew him well, died on Saturday at the age of 81.
Born in 1918, Father Sablon was appointed in 1952 to the position of director of the Centre de loisirs Immaculée-Conception, in Montreal, a function he performed wisely and capably for more than 40 years. He saw the potential of sports and recreation to provide a goal for certain troubled youth and to keep others from dropping out of the running. His many achievements included founding the Auberge du P'tit Bonheur in 1962.
Those working directly or indirectly with children will never forget Father de la Sablonnière. At a time when our young people too often tell us they have no leaders, Father Sablon filled this void for many of them, and they will be forever grateful.
Thank you, Father, for your generous efforts to improve the lives of our young Quebecers.

Mr. Speaker, the deal ending an eight day work stoppage that paralysed the port of Vancouver was ratified on Friday but the main bone of contention remains unresolved.
While shippers and their customers tally up their losses, the Canadian economy is out $800 million. In the age of just in time inventory control, valuable international contracts were lost and our reputation as a reliable shipper is in tatters.
Even though it is over, it must not be forgotten. Work disruptions at Canada's busiest port cannot continue to hold third parties hostage. Just as sure as Christmas comes in December, it will happen again.
The Deputy Prime Minister said "We do intend to make sure that this does not happen every year". News flash to the deputy PM: Reformers have been offering a solution to this for six years. Where has he been? Rather than resorting to threats or heavy-handed back to work legislation, Canadians are demanding that a permanent solution be put in place now.

John McKay Scarborough East, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to join with the hon. member for Scarborough—Rouge River to pay tribute to a man whose sense of public duty might be seen as a model for members of the House.
Frank Faubert died on June 20 of this year. He was born in Scarborough, Ontario. He was proud of his community and served his people with integrity for over 30 years in public life. He held offices as an alderman, controller, a member of the provincial legislature, Scarborough councillor and finally as Scarborough's last mayor. He was fondly known as Mr. Scarborough.
Frank's last political fight was against Scarborough joining the megacity. However, in 1997, after the city was amalgamated, he joined the city council and was elected to that council.
Frank fought hard for the things he believed in: environmental issues, economic development, the arts community, ethnocultural relations. He was proud of his business card, which was printed in English and Chinese. He is honoured in his community, not only for what he accomplished, but for the person he was: a husband to Marilyn and a proud father of five children, a friendly and approachable neighbour, a wise and knowledgeable politician, a good and decent man.
National Aids Awareness Week

Beth Phinney Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the house that November 22-29 marks the ninth annual National AIDS Awareness Week.
The theme of this year's campaign is the myth surrounding HIV and AIDS. By increasing our awareness and reducing our fears, Canadians can fight this disease. Funds will be raised through red ribbon campaigns and other activities to support this vital work.
HIV/AIDS remains a significant national and international issue as the epidemic continues to grow. Young people are increasingly affected.
During National AIDS awareness week, I ask all Canadians to consider how HIV and AIDS affect their lives and the lives of those around them. Please wear the red ribbon to raise awareness of this issue and join me in paying tribute to the hundreds of community organizations and volunteers across the country who make National AIDS Awareness Week a reality.

November 22nd, 1999 / 2 p.m.
Guy St-Julien Abitibi, QC
Mr. Speaker, last weekend, before an assembly of approximately 60 Canadian Rangers representing all Nunavik and Lower North Shore patrols, chief of defence staff General Maurice Baril presented a Canadian forces unit commendation to the 2nd Canadian Rangers Patrol Group.
The commendation was in recognition of the unit's humanitarian actions during the avalanche that hit the village of Kangiqsualujjuaq on January 1, 1999.
A Canadian forces unit commendation is normally awarded to any Canadian forces formation, unit or sub-unit that has gone above and beyond the call of duty.
Many lives were saved through the efforts of unit members, who bravely ignored their personal safety in this potentially dangerous emergency situation.
They successfully dug out women, men and children buried under a building that had literally collapsed under the weight of the snow.
Words are not enough to express our deep appreciation for the actions of these brave and determined individuals. What they did is an example to all.

Howard Hilstrom Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, a recent study has found that suicides are a much more common cause of death on farms than accidents.
This year it is worse than ever. Stress help lines in the prairies are reporting increased caseloads. These calls include people who are considering suicide themselves or are concerned that their partner might end their life.
The root cause of increased work for mental health professionals has been directly attributed to the ongoing farm income crisis. What has the government done to correct this tragedy? I think Janice Archdekin, a Saskatchewan farmer, summed it up best when she said "They do not care that people are dying".
Last year the minister promised that farmers would receive a bankable plan by Christmas. He broke his promise. He failed to deliver. Last week at the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool's annual meeting the agriculture minister again promised farmers that they would receive their AIDA money by Christmas 1999.
Farmers are not taking the minister's promises seriously any more. I challenge him to add some credibility to his words and pledge to resign if he breaks his promise like he did one year ago.

Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I acknowledge and pay tribute to some of Canada's outstanding graduate students participating in the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council's research showcase in 200 West Block.
Each student in the gallery today represents one of the 20 research networks funded under the major collaborative research initiatives of SSHRC. The students are presenting their own research, as well as research produced by the team to which they belong. Their presentations cover topics such as food security in the Arctic and the social and economic dimension of an aging population, to name but two.
The students would be delighted to meet and talk about their lives and work and discuss their hopes and dreams for the future. I urge all members to visit the SSHRC research showcase in 200 West Block to support and encourage these young Canadians in their research challenges.

Jean-Guy Chrétien Frontenac—Mégantic, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, in Lac-Mégantic, some forty volunteers from Granit were honoured at the 12th Gala des bénévoles. Over 400 people responded to the call of the organizing committee.
The gala provided the opportunity to present awards to six great volunteers: Clémence Roy-Campeau, Suzanne Martin, Carole Dodier, Marcel Couture and Yves Gilbert. In addition, Aurèle Dulac was named volunteer of the year.
I join with the organizers of the gala in recognizing the exceptional contribution of all these volunteers to their community. Their work and their involvement speak of remarkable dignity and deep devotion to community solidarity.
My congratulations to the volunteers recognized and my thanks to the organizers of and the participants in this important celebration. Well done, Yvan Plamondon. Well done, Aurèle Dulac.

Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of the 56th anniversary of the proclamation of the independence of Lebanon, as the chair of the Lebanon-Canada parliamentary friendship group, I would like to express my solidarity with Lebanon, a friend of Canada.
Specifically, I would like to mention that Lebanon deserves all our support in its economic, social and institutional reconstruction efforts.
It also deserves our support in its efforts to reclaim its unity and complete freedom over all of its territory, through, among other things, the implementation of UN resolution 425 calling for the unconditional withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from south Lebanon.
Our best wishes go especially to the large Lebanese Canadian community that has enriched Canadian society with its dynamism and its joie de vivre.
Wayne Gretzky

Deborah Grey Edmonton North, AB
Mr. Speaker, "He shoots, he scores!" There are not many statements more Canadian than that. In more than a century of hockey played in every corner of Canada, no one has shot and scored more than Wayne Gretzky.
Today the great one will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, but he has already worked his way into the hearts of anyone anywhere who loves the game of hockey, not only because of his unmatchable skill and prowess on the ice, but also because of his integrity, his humility and his generosity as a son, a friend, a husband and a dad.
Wayne and the Oilers—what a team that was. The Kings, the Blues and the Rangers came later, but how we cherish those championship years in Edmonton.
I was privileged to meet Wayne, Janet and their kids on October 1 in Edmonton at Wayne Gretzky Day. He is a real, honest to goodness hero. The Hockey Hall of Fame as of today is Wayne's world. No one will ever forget number 99.
Nisga'A Final Treaty

Ted McWhinney Vancouver Quadra, BC
Mr. Speaker, in a three year run-up to signature of the Nisga'a treaty no fewer than 296 meetings and public consultations were held in the Nisga'a region with chambers of commerce, business people and governmental authorities. But no fewer than 13 meetings were held with a small, predominantly non-aboriginal regional committee representing Nass Valley residents. They addressed a wide range of their concerns: watershed protection, access to water, legal status of isolated fee simple titles and replacement tenures, forestry, mining, fisheries and wildlife.
The process of consultation on the Nisga'a treaty was astonishingly extensive given the remoteness of the region and its sparse population of 6,000 people. This is genuine grassroots participatory democracy in action and it is reflected in the final treaty.
Child Poverty
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Libby Davies Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, November 20 was National Child Day and the 10th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. November 24 is also the 10th anniversary of the unanimous all-party resolution put forward by the then leader of the NDP, Ed Broadbent, to eliminate child poverty.
Here we are 10 years later and what progress is there? Just a few days ago we received a letter from three federal ministers telling us that the Government of Canada has taken a consistent approach in its efforts to improve opportunities for children and families. Who are they kidding?
Just last week 34 NGOs cited Canada for systematically violating seven articles of the UN convention. Child poverty has increased 50% since 1989. There has been an unrelenting attack on Canada's poor through EI cuts, the elimination of social housing, broken promises on national child care and denial of the child tax benefit to families on welfare. That is the real record of the Liberals and it has been consistent for sure.
Is it not ironic that the letter we received did not mention one word about the 1989 resolution?
The Late Father Marcel De La Sablonnière

Bernard Bigras Rosemont, QC
Mr. Speaker, we were saddened to learn of the death of Father Marcel de la Sablonnière. "Père Sablon", as he was called informally by everyone who knew him, died on Saturday, at the age of 81.
Père Sablon got involved in amateur sport early on and worked hard to make it accessible to disadvantaged children. Through the determination with which he promoted sport and its virtues for young people, Père Sablon encouraged young people to strive for excellence. During his fundraising campaigns, he would often say "Let us give them a passion and make sure they have a good start". Many owe it to him to have had a good start in life.
For nearly five decades, with generosity and dedication, Père Sablon worked as the director of Montreal's Centre de loisirs Immaculée-Conception. A pioneer in outdoor recreational activities, he helped build centres such as the Auberge du P'tit Bonheur, Camp Jeune-Air and many others.
People will always remember Père Sablon's charisma, ability to bring people together and great foresight.
Nisga'A Treaty

Paul Devillers Simcoe North, ON
Mr. Speaker, Bill C-9, an act to give effect to the Nisga'a Final Agreement, has now been debated in the House of Commons for close to 14 hours. This is not a myth but a reality.
Last week, the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs conducted five days of consultative hearings in British Columbia. That too is the reality.
Another reality is that the Government of Canada recognized the existing rights of aboriginal peoples in the 1982 Constitution Act, following a Canada-wide consultation.
The Nisga'a treaty, which is to be part of the existing Canadian legal framework, confirms the rights that were recognized in 1982. Also, it is clearly stated in the final agreement that the treaty complies with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The reality is that this legislation is the result of many years of discussions and negotiations with numerous stakeholders.
The reality is that we must assume our responsibilities and move forward.

DUBAI, U.A.E., 31st October 2011: Emirates SkyCargo, a leading player in the industry move towards e-freight, has added further momentum to the drive by announcing that electronic air waybills (e-AWBs) are now being used for 100% of shipments from its Dubai hub.
The IATA e-AWB initiative aims to remove the requirement for paper air waybills (AWBs) - the contracts used for the transportation of air cargo. By eliminating the need to print, handle or archive the paper AWB, the simplified air freight process brings benefits to businesses throughout the supply chain.
The IATA e-AWB scheme is one part of the E-freight push - a collective industry goal, also facilitated by IATA, to remove paper AWBs, as well as every other document and certificate, by the end of 2014.
Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates airline, was already on track to meet the deadline with 51 of the locations it serves e-freight compliant and this latest milestone is further testament to the progress being made.
"The transition to e-freight is a massive challenge for both the industry and Emirates SkyCargo. Change of this scale requires time and many steps have been made, but this really is a giant stride forward," said Pradeep Kumar, Emirates' Senior Vice President Cargo Revenue Optimisation & Systems. "Eliminating paper AWBs from our hub demonstrates our commitment to meeting IATA's deadline and bringing enhanced operational efficiency to the supply chain.
"This was a collective effort and the support of agents and forwarders was integral to the success. The benefits for the entire industry are clear, simplifying business and reducing costs, and as more and more parties come on board, the benefits become greater," added Kumar.
The e-AWB can be used in all cases where the country of origin and the country of destination have ratified the same treaty: the Montreal Convention or Montreal Protocol.
The use of e-AWBs means information is more accurate, there is a greater degree of confidentiality, while the increased efficiency of the supply chain not only improves the reliability and speed of service, but provides the opportunity to reduce costs on activities such as paper handling and archiving.
In addition, delays caused by loss of documents are avoided, while there is a reduction in the industry impact on the environment.
Emirates SkyCargo is at the forefront in implementing e-AWBs throughout its network - in coordination with freight forwarders - and has made significant progress in the past 12 months.
In addition to the recent e-AWB milestone in Dubai, other notable highlights include the first paperless flight – between Mauritius and Dubai – in December and its inaugural paperless freighter – between Nairobi and Amsterdam – in April.

The NBA Finals are getting underway in Miami, but another highly anticipated tournament recently came to Kandahar, Afghanistan. This March, participants in Clear Path International (CPI) and the Afghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation and Recreation's wheelchair basketball league played for a championship of their own. With funding from the State Department's Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (WRA), the two organizations have teamed up to give survivors of landmines and explosive remnants of war "hope and confidence," while raising public awareness about the "ultimate potential of the players, despite their disabilities."
With U.S. support, Clear Path International procured enough specialized wheelchairs to field multiple three-player teams from Kandahar City, Nangarhar, and Jalalabad. The players work with dedicated coaches several times a week to master skills and build teamwork. This also increases the feeling of inclusion and self-confidence of the survivors that can help heal the hidden wounds from the social stigma of disability.
The teams played tournament exhibition games at Afghan high schools in front of 300 to 500 students. The games, combined with interactive crowd participation, aimed to promote social inclusion and awareness of persons with disabilities not only among the students, but in their communities. These exhibition games led up to a tournament in Kandahar City, in which all of the teams competed for the championship.
CPI surveyed the tournament attendees on their knowledge, attitude, and behavior towards the disabled. They will compare the data to baseline results obtained from residents of Kandahar, to gauge the impact of the event on public opinions. Surveys and programs thus far have shown a positive shift in attitudes towards the disabled which is especially significant among kids, many of whom have not encountered or thought about those disabled by landmines.
Despite ongoing demining efforts, Afghanistan retains one of the highest levels of landmine and unexploded ordinance (UXO) in the world after three decades of violent conflict. As of March 2012, the Mine Action Coordination Center of Afghanistan estimated that 5,931 hazardous areas remained, covering nearly 585 square kilometers. An estimated 80 percent of the affected areas are located in agricultural areas, a major problem when 70 percent of the Afghan population relies on agriculture to make a living. This poses a threat, not only to Afghan civilians, but also to political and military leaders, as insurgents often use landmines or UXO to build improvised explosive devices. In 2011, landmines or UXO killed or injured 372 Afghans, more than half of whom were children.
The United States leads the world in demining efforts and has spent over $2 billion to diminish the threat of landmines and explosive remnants of war in over 90 countries since 1993. Landmines and other UXO affect virtually every province in Afghanistan. Since 1997, the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs (PM) and WRA have invested more than $265 million to help Afghanistan build its capabilities to tackle this long-term challenge.
Through partnerships with organizations like CPI, the United States has helped support a range of survivors' assistance programs, such as the wheelchair basketball league. The United States will continue to work with partners around the world to help eradicate the threat of landmines and UXO and aid survivors. For more information on U.S. demining efforts, check out WRA's annual report, To Walk the Earth in Safety.

Advanced Micro Devices and Transmeta said on Monday that they had signed an agreement under which AMD will sell Transmeta Efficeon processor to emerging markets. This marks the second time when Transmeta "outsources" marketing of its products to a third-party. The chips will be installed into computers that are sold under Microsoft FlexGo initiative.
"AMD's worldwide channels and consumer brand will accelerate the penetration of this specialized Efficeon microprocessor into high volume emerging markets.We look at this announcement as the beginning of a very successful collaboration between AMD and Transmeta to bring Microsoft FlexGo technology to market," said Arthur L. Swift, president and chief executive officer, Transmeta Corporation.
AMD will sell "enhanced" version of Transmeta Efficeon processor produced using 90nm process technology. AMD, however, did not say whether it would manufacture such chips using its own foundries.
Microsoft FlexGo technology, aligns hardware, software and service solutions to work in unison to meter and add time to the PC, so retailers, telecommunications providers, banks and system builders can offer PCs to a broader community of customers. FlexGo technology enables consumers or small businesses to have a PC at a price they can afford, and pay for time only as they use it. The technology informs users of time used, showing them how to add more hours by simply typing in a number from a prepaid card. If time is not added, the PC gradually moves into a "reserve tank" or limited-access state until customers purchase more time either online or at local vendors. The PC will be fully owned by final users after a number of hours are purchased.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (80 votes).
In short: All Round Good RaceDate of review: October 7, 2007
In short: Scenic course spoilt by atrocious organisationIn full: From arriving the organisation of this race was shambolic. There were no signs from the carpark to the start line and there were no where near enough toilets for the shear amount of runners. The start was advertised for 10 O'clock but was at least 5 minutes late with no one but the runners at the front being able to hear what was being said over the loud speakers. When the race actually started it wasn't even possible to hear and one runner summed it up by saying oh is that it? have we started? Throughout the race itself the marshalls were friendly and the course was accurate according to my GPS. Everything seemed ok until the finish where a massive que had formed about 100 metres from the finish so you couldn't even cross the finish line and friends who came to support didn't get to see you finish. If you did try to cross the finish line you got shouted at by other runners in the que to get to the back which is fair enough as they would have finished first. Official times were taken when you crossed the finish line but this took at least 5 minutes from finishing so they were far from accurate. After another 5 minutes or so in the que waiting to collect my T-shirt all they had left were small T-shirts which I can't even get over my head!!! Overall I was completely dissapointed with the organisation of the race and will certainly not do this event again since it cost £12 and was not an enjoyable experience!Date of review: October 7, 2007
In short: Great run through fabulous countryside. Beautiful scenery especially in Autumn when the trees are changing colour. My favourite 10k race!sDate of review: August 15, 2007
In short: Far Too Many Runners! Was better when low key.In full: Great course but this year too many runners spoiled the race. Go back to number you can manage. Was a first race for one person with me, loved the run hated the finish.Date of review: October 23, 2006
In short: My first 10k,met some lovely fellow beginners. lovely scenery ,great weather and nice t-shirt. downside - experienced runners warming down by running back thru last k and out of order loo's!Date of review: October 11, 2006
In short: Quite flat, great conditions and very scenicIn full: Changing and toilet facilities were a bit stretched but this did not detract from a great day outDate of review: October 10, 2006
In short: Great event for beginners and countryside lovers!In full: This was a well attended race with a huge range of abilities on show. The organisation was good albeit a bit WRVS/Dad's Army. T-shirt was good. The course should have made use of some of the broader roads within the estate to avoid the congestion around the start/finish/t-shirt area. All in all, a good warm up for the Worksop Half Marathon which will make better use of the estate.Date of review: October 10, 2006
In short: Lovely locationIn full: Lovely 10K. Really good for beginners due to the large turnout.The start was too congested though. I started at what i thought was near to the front but it still took an age to actually cross the start line. it then took 2K to be able to run freely.That aside I really enjoyed the race - what a smashing location.Date of review: October 10, 2006
In short: mostly hills with scenic surroundings, I ran a good race and my family enjoyed the day out too.Date of review: October 9, 2006
In short: Enjoyable race in scenic setting, start a bit congested though but still managed a PBDate of review: October 9, 2006

Was out to lunch at Cici's when word came over the idiot box that Falwell's ticket had in fact been punched. Fox News currently has nonstop coverage, as if Falwell was some kind of head of state (and I guess in many ways he was), and naturally, spinning a complete hagiography. Just as naturally, there was no mention of what you're going to read here. Remember that the preacherman who's being hailed as "compassionate" by Fox's army of sycophants once made the compassionate remark that "If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being." Guess that must be some of that Christian Love™ we keep hearing about.
Ganked from the ACT UP site: A partial transcript of Falwell and Robertson on The 700 Club, September 13, 2001:
JERRY FALWELL: And I agree totally with you that the Lord has protected us so wonderfully these 225 years. And since 1812, this is the first time that we've been attacked on our soil and by far the worst results. And I fear, as Donald Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defense, said yesterday, that this is only the beginning. And with biological warfare available to these monsters the Husseins, the Bin Ladens, the Arafats what we saw on Tuesday, as terrible as it is, could be miniscule if, in fact if, in fact God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.
PAT ROBERTSON: Jerry, that's my feeling. I think we've just seen the antechamber to terror. We haven't even begun to see what they can do to the major population.
JERRY FALWELL: The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this.
PAT ROBERTSON: Well yes.
JERRY FALWELL: And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way all of them who have tried to secularize America I point the finger in their face and say "you helped this happen."
PAT ROBERTSON: Well, I totally concur, and the problem is we have adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government. And so we're responsible as a free society for what the top people do. And, the top people, of course, is the court system.
JERRY FALWELL: Pat, did you notice yesterday the ACLU and all the Christ-haters, People For the American Way, NOW, etc. were totally disregarded by the Democrats and the Republicans in both houses of Congress as they went out on the steps and called out on to God in prayer and sang "God Bless America" and said "let the ACLU be hanged". In other words, when the nation is on its knees, the only normal and natural and spiritual thing to do is what we ought to be doing all the time calling upon God.
PAT ROBERTSON: Amen!
Falwell later attempted an insincere apology for these remarks.
Another brilliant insight from the Falwellian Hit Parade was his famous remark about the Antichrist: "Who will the Antichrist be? I don't know. Nobody else knows. Is he alive and here today? Probably. Because when he appears during the Tribulation period he will be a full-grown counterfeit of Christ. Of course he'll be Jewish. Of course he'll pretend to be Christ. And if in fact the Lord is coming soon, and he'll be an adult at the presentation of himself, he must be alive somewhere today."
Aaaaand cue another insincere apology.
Then we get around to Falwell's ludicrous antiscience ravings, such as the time he dismissed global warming as "Satan's attempt to redirect the church's primary focus" from evangelism to environmentalism. Let's see…here we have a majority of the world's scientists agreeing that human activity has led to measurable climate change, we have Al Gore appearing in an intensively researched documentary bringing these facts to the public, and this is in turn dismissed by a clown who thought it was all a big prank on the part of a mythical being with horns and a pitchfork and a pointy tail. Does lunacy or idiocy describe it better? Discuss.
I'd like to think that things will change with Falwell's passing. But of course, fundamentalist tribalism, hate and intolerance, and its concomitant superstitious tomfoolery will continue unabated. Who will check out next Pat, Tim, DJK and how many contortions will the lapdogs in the mainstream media twist themselves into, to convince viewers of what shining examples of unimpeachable rectitude they were?

We were a very close knit class and were active outside the classroom as well. The blue box of the Keren Kayemet was very important to us, as was the Hebrew language Once, we agreed to speak nothing but Hebrew for a whole week. Whoever broke this rule had to pay a fine to the blue box. We spoke Hebrew for a whole week. When our parents would talk to us in Yiddish we didn't answer, or we would answer in Hebrew. They got angry at me more than once, 'why am I not answering, what has gotten in to me? What's this game? '
I will never forget the celebrations at school. At Hanukah we put a big show on with all the pupils. On Purim, we would all go around the town in our costumes to raise money for Keren Kayemet le-Israel with the blue box. On Lag Ba'Omer we would spend the entire day in the field with bows and arrows. Before Shevu'ot we would go out to the nearby forests with the teacher, pick flowers and vegetables for the holiday. The next day we would spread out in the town with the produce and raise money for Keren Kayemet le-Israel. At the end of the year we would go out on trips. I particularly remember the trip we took when I was in 7th grade. It was a big trip, for three days, to Lutsk, a large city in our area. We sailed on steamboats on the Styr River. I remember perfectly the large synagogue of the Karaites[2], a very old synagogue and a cemetery.
In the Tarbut school there was a big library. From 5th grade I served as the librarian. I remember every book and every author. There was not a book in that library I did not read and then later I recommended books to other pupils. That is where my ongoing love for books began.

ATI, graphics product group of Advanced Micro Devices, and Nvidia Corp. are rumoured to release their next-generation graphics processing units (GPUs) sometime in the middle of next year, if the information released by sources familiar with market situations and plans of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is correct.
The leading designers of graphics processors will not utilize TSMC's 45nm process technology, but will start using 40nm fabrication process instead in a bid to reduce manufacturing costs amid cut-throat price war between the two as well as the battle for the highest-performance discrete graphics processor on the market. Thinner process technologies allow to pack more transistors inside the chip, potentially providing better functionality and/or performance, while keeping the costs and power consumption under control.
A news-story by China Economic News Service claims that both ATI and Nvidia will complete tape-out of their 40nm designs, which are code-named ATI RV870 and Nvidia GT216, by the end of this year. Both companies are projected to release actual products based on the new chips starting from the second half of June, 2009, assuming that everything goes as planned.
There is no reliable information about the GT216 and RV870 chips. One thing that is known for almost sure is that both processor will be flagship graphics processors in Nvidia's and ATI's lineups.
Earlier this month AMD's ATI unit outlined several expectations for the consumer 3D graphics industry in 2009. Among the highlights are GPU manufacturing transition to 40nm process technology, widespread usage of GDDR5 memory standard and also introduction of DirectX 11-compatible GPUs. In addition, ATI also predicted the rise of GPGPU with help of computing shaders of DirectX 11 and OpenCL. The company expects arrival of consumer applications that take advantage of GPGPU, which will emphasize importance of graphics processors among end-users.
It remains to be seen whether ATI RV870 and Nvidia GT216 are compatible with Microsoft DirectX 11 next-generation application programming interface, but considering the fact that there will be almost a year gap between current-generation and next-generation chips, a huge performance improvement should be expected.

Sheriff, supervisors ready for battle over gun permits
Over the past six months, new Sheriff Sandra Hutchens has received nothing but ovations and support from the county board that appointed her to fill the term of disgraced former Sheriff Mike Carona, who went on trial this month for corruption charges.
But on Tuesday, that relationship could radically change.
Hutchens - who is up for election in 2010 - is under fire for her controversial revisions to the concealed weapons policies that were a hallmark of the Carona administration.
Last month, Hutchens began a systematic review of the 1,100 concealed weapons permits granted under Carona and started revoking current permits.
That has triggered an avalanche of e-mails and phone calls to supervisors, and they aren't happy.
"I don't like her views at all," said Supervisor Janet Nguyen about Hutchens' revocation of so-called carry concealed weapons permits. And Nguyen is angry that Hutchens has moved to revoke permits without bringing in the supervisors or stakeholders on developing a new standard.
"She's becoming like Carona," Nguyen said. "She needs to understand she needs to work with us."
County Supervisor Chris Norby is prepared to present a resolution to the board at its meeting Tuesday, where hundreds are rumored to show up, calling on Hutchens to halt her revocation of permits.
And while that effort had drawn fire from supervisors' Chairman John Moorlach - who argues that the supervisors are prevented by law from interfering in the process of granting the weapons permits - even he is uneasy with Hutchens' sweeping revisions.
"I'm the chairman of the board," Moorlach said. "So I want to be supportive of my department heads even when I disagree with them. That being said, I believe Sheriff Hutchens could have handled this a lot differently. She could have addressed it in a different way."
Hutchens took office this summer just as Carona's trial was gearing up, as were a mountain of allegations about abuse of office and a decayed command structure.
Records reviewed by The Orange County Register show that concealed weapon permits soared under Carona, from 28 in 1998 to 468 the next year. Carona ran his campaign largely on the promise that he would expand concealed weapons permits, arguing that a looser standard was a good match for a pro-gun Republican county. By 2006, Carona had granted 1,400 permits, a fourfold increase.
When Carona took over in 1998, Orange County ranked 34th in terms of the numbers of permits granted. By 2006, the county was ranked No. 9.
However, the Register also found numerous instances in which campaign donors received permits. A Register look at campaign records and weapons permits between 1996 and 2001 found 95 instances in which contributors - who gave a total of $68,000 - got permits.
Indeed, the federal indictment of Carona details one specific instance in which a wealthy contributor was granted a weapons permit under questionable circumstances.
Hutchens said that Carona's liberal standard on the "good cause" requirement for concealed weapons permits, along with the allegations of corruption, prompted her to do a full-scale review of the permits.
And while state law gives sheriffs discretion on how to hand out the permits, Hutchens says the intent of the law is clear: Concealed weapons are only for personal protection.
Once she was made aware of potential problems with the permits, Hutchens said, she had no choice but to review them and apply a tighter standard in line with the intent of the law.
And no amount of lobbying or displeasure, or supervisors' resolutions, will change that.
"Nothing about this storm will change what I'm doing," she said. "This is not a subject for debate. It's a matter of the intent of the law."

Gareth Bale continued his sensational recent form with a goal and an assist as Wales claimed victory over Austria at the Liberty Stadium.
- Related Content
The Tottenham winger scored his 10th goal for his country with a smart finish as he made full use of Joe Allen's lovely lofted pass in the 21st minute.
The hosts had to survive some nervy moments, notably when Emanuel Pogatetz had a header wrongly ruled out for offside and David Alaba struck the post, but Bale made another telling contribution with a pin-point cross for substitute Sam Vokes to head in the second early in the second half.
Captain Marc Janko pulled a goal back for Austria but Wales held on for a valuable win.
Manager Chris Coleman has endured a difficult first year in charge, claiming just one win from seven games, but he will have been pleased to see his side finally play with a fluidity that had been sorely lacking, and restore some confidence ahead of next month's World Cup qualifiers against Scotland and Croatia.
For that, the former Fulham boss will be grateful to Bale, who has now scored seven goals in his last nine internationals, and he tormented the Austrian defence with his trademark power and pace before being withdrawn on the hour mark.
After a disappointing start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, Wales were able to field Craig Bellamy and Bale in the same side for the first time in a year, even though former captain Aaron Ramsey was absent with a calf problem.
Wales had to survive an early scare as Adam Matthews was forced to clear an attempted defensive block off his own line
But the visitors' fear of Bale's speed was clear to see from the moment he first got on the ball, as he took off on a thrilling 70-yard dash beyond Markus Suttner and Pogatetz, but his cross fell behind Jack Collison.
Bellamy, playing for Wales for the first time since August, almost marked his return with a goal as David Vaughan played him in with a sharp first time pass, but the striker's shot ran agonisingly wide of the far post.
Bale, however, made no such mistake when he was picked out by a Allen's perfectly judged pass, cutting inside to slot low beyond Robert Almer.
Austria responded strongly to falling behind and Wales had to withstand concerted pressure to retain the lead.
Pogatetz bundled home after Janko had headed Andreas Ivanschitz's free-kick across the box, but the assistant referee had his flag raised for offside, although replays showed it was the wrong decision.
And the excellent Alaba almost equalised right on half-time with a stunning volley. Allen's weak header fell to the midfielder and his superb strike beat Boaz Myhill only to hit the base of the post.
Coleman made two changes at the break, bringing on Vokes and Andy King for Bellamy and Vaughan respectively.
And Vokes made an almost instant impact as he doubled the home side's lead seven minutes into the second half.
Ben Davies seized on Alaba's loose pass and switched play to Bale, whose fierce centre saw the Burnley striker get ahead of his marker to power home a header.
Bale should have made it 3-0 just two minutes later after Collison's half-cleared cross fell to him, but he put his volley just wide.
That was the winger's last meaningful contribution as he was withdrawn on the hour for Hal Robson-Kanu.
Wales looked less assured without their talisman, and the visitors set-up a tense finale by pulling a goal back with quarter of an hour to play.
Marko Arnautovic floated in a deep cross and Janko had the easy task of heading high past Myhill.
Werder Bremen midfielder Arnautovic then curled an effort just wide as Wales dropped deep, but the hosts held out.

Embrace The Idea
Being able to bike or walk safely around Jamestown is a dream for many residents, but concerned citizens are working hard to make it a reality.
Recently, a public workshop was held at the Lillian Vitanza Ney Renaissance Center to educate residents and officials about the Complete Streets initiative and get them more involved. The workshop, which was sponsored by the Chautauqua County Health Network's Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work and Play initiative and presented by Justin Booth, founder and executive director of Go-Bike-Buffalo, focused on what Jamestown needs to embrace in order to adopt the Complete Streets ordinance. Jamestown Renaissance Corporation Executive Director Pete Lombardi and Chautauqua County Health Network Executive Director Ann Abdella also spoke at the workshop.
"Complete Streets are designed to enable safe access for all users – pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists," said Janet Forbes, project coordinator for Creating Healthy Places. "The workshop is an opportunity for residents and decision makers to learn, discuss and develop action steps, and move Jamestown to become a more walkable and bikeable community."
A recent comparison of accident reports in Jamestown revealed that pedestrian injuries are close to five times higher than the national average, while bicycle injuries are more than two times as high as the national average.
Despite those numbers, Lombardi called Jamestown "a city that really lends itself to walking and biking," noting the city limits are no farther than 2 miles from downtown in any direction.
"Embracing a Complete Streets approach to transportation planning an implementation can improve the community's sense of place," said Booth. "This approach will change people's perceptions of their neighborhood through an improved environment that encourages activity, enhances economic viability and establishes a quality of life unsurpassed, while attracting others here to live, work and play."
Booth, who has visited major metropolitan areas around the country including Portland, Ore.; San Francisco, Calif.; and Oakland, Calif.; has a wealth of experience to draw from when speaking about bicycle- and walking-friendly cities. Additionally, Go-Bike-Buffalo played an instrumental role in allowing Buffalo to become the first city in New York to adopt a Complete Streets ordinance.
"A lot of the work being done here is really exciting," said Booth. "A lot of communities around the country are really starting to take charge of this."
According to Booth, a recent survey showed roughly 10 percent of the working population in Jamestown either walks or bikes to work. In comparison, a study published by Forbes Magazine in 2012 showed one of the most bike-friendly cities in the country, Portland, Ore., only sees 5.44 percent of its workforce cycling to their jobs.
"(Complete Streets) is all about creating a place that people will want to bike or walk," Booth said. "Being connected no longer means having a car – it's all about living in a place where there are things to do. People are using their smartphones to stay connected."
Booth invited participants to take a walking tour of downtown with him to see for themselves what Jamestown was already doing well and what it could do better. He applauded the use of extended curbs, such as the ones near the intersection of Third and Cherry streets, which increase visibility for both cars and pedestrians, making it a more biking- and walking-friendly place.
For more information about the Complete Streets initiative and the workshop, contact Jim Goodling at the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation by calling 664-2477, ext 223.

Testimony to bravery
In this affidavit, filed on January 15, 1900, Lewis H. Douglass supported the Medal of Honor application for former Sgt. William H. Carney of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. Douglass was the son of Frederick Douglass and former sergeant major of the regiment. Carney, the flag bearer at Fort Wagner, survived the encounter but was wounded and retired with the colors when ordered to do so.
