Global Footprint Network and the Ecological Footprint recently played a prominent role at Clima Latino, the largest conference on climate change ever held in Latin America. Hosted by the Community of Andean Nations (Ecuador, Peru, Colombia and Bolivia), the Republic of Ecuador, and the Ecuadorian cities of Quito and Guayaquil, the conference was attended by 1550 participants from 40 countries. Held consecutively in the two cities from 15-18 October, 2007, Global Footprint Network was represented by its Senior Scientist Steve Goldfinger, who gave a well-received plenary presentation and helped lead two workshops.
One of the most exciting outcomes for Global Footprint Network from this well-organized event will be a research collaboration with the nation of Ecuador. At the concluding ceremony of the conference, Steve signed agreements on behalf of Global Footprint Network with Mr. Lenin Moreno, Vice President of Ecuador, for a collaborative review of the country's National Footprint Accounts, and with Mr. Paco Moncayo, Mayor of Quito, to help conduct an Ecological Footprint study of the Ecuadorian capitol city. Steve also met with Guayaquil Mayor Jaime Nabot to coordinate a Footprint analysis of that city.
Global Footprint Network was invited to participate in this historic event by prominent Ecuadorian architect Juan Alfonso Peña and by Freddy Ehlers, Secretary-General of the Community of Andean Nations. Mr. Peña was a key organizer of the conference and designer of the beautiful official conference publication, which prominently featured the Footprint; Mr. Ehlers has been instrumental in promoting the Ecological Footprint throughout Latin America, introducing it to government leaders at home and at the recent United Nations General Assembly meeting, and in numerous television and radio interviews. With budding research collaborations and influential Footprint enthusiasts at our side, we hope to bring the Ecological Footprint into a central role in Latin American policy-making.

In short: hilly for the first 4 miles then downhill till about mile8 and half then uphill to the finish line which i was releived to see .well organised .and every marshall encouring all the runners. .brilliant race will do it again next year without a doubtDate of review: August 27, 2012
In short: Great Race, Great Organisation, Tough First 4 Miles.In full: Really enjoyable day, Thanks all who organised, Tough first 4 miles but none of the hills are that long so not quite as hard as i had feared and you can really catch some time up between miles 4-9 if you can keep something in the tank!Date of review: August 27, 2012
In short: hard going but well organised and great runDate of review: August 27, 2012
In short: Tough climb for 1st halfIn full: An uphill climb for the first half of the race followed by a fast downhill for all but the last mile where it steadily climbs again. Very well marshalled with marshalls at all road junctions and a very friendly atmosphere. Finishers get a bottle of Brampton Brewery beer and a t-shirt. If I can psych myself up for the challenging first half I would do it again but it's not a PB potential course. Overall I enjoyed the experience though :)Date of review: August 27, 2012
In short: Absolutely loved it. It ain't flat but it's a total gem.In full: Friendly, well organised, brilliant atmosphere....I could go on. Those early miles are tough but scenery is excellent & downhill wild in parts. A pb is very unlikely but why bother about a pb for this distance. Just enjoy it! definitely plan to return for next year. Race is a bargain with a t shirt and bottle of beer at finish. Marshalls, you did a great job & were very supportive & encouraging. Thank YouDate of review: September 8, 2011
In short: Well organisedIn full: A very well organised race with good marshalling. First half is a bit hilly! But the second half seems to be all down hill bar the last mile so times can be picked up. A foot injury preventing me from racing it but I'll be back next year to give it a better go! Very nice to get a bottle of beer as well as a tee shirt.Date of review: September 1, 2011
In short: ToughIn full: As people have siad the first half is really hilly especially between miles 3 and 4. 2nd half there is a long, long downhill section - only problem was excrutiating stitch which stopped me in my tracks for a minute or two. Steady jog back into it and i made it to the end in a decent time.Water stations were good, marshalls were good, race was good!Date of review: August 30, 2011
In short: Hilly but friendly and well organised, as is all the NE Derbyshire events.In full: Firsts 4 miles relentless hills, downhill for the rest with a bit of flat, finishing with a tough 1.5 mile finish.4th year on the trot doing this race and still struggle with the last 1.5 miles, still pleased with my time as its the fastest I've done it by 3 minutes!Date of review: August 30, 2011
In short: Super views, with some daunting hills at the startIn full: The first 4 miles are all up hill and really take some effort, if you enter this race you need to be prepared.The views are superb though and its a friendly atmosphere.Once you have tackled the first 4 miles its all downhill or flat, so you do have the opportunity to claw a little time back.Well organised, loads of parking and good facilities. I'm looking forward to next year already.Date of review: August 30, 2011
In short: Tough first half, negative split second!In full: The first 4 miles were very tough and I had to walk most of the hills. I was glad that I saved a bit of energy, because from 5 miles onwards it was flat-ish with some nice downhills too.Not too warm, sufficient drinks stations, loads of friendly marshals and St Johns ambulance all made it a solid, well-organised race.Best bits were finishing and then handing my shocked and delighted husband the bottle of ale memento - a really special prize.Thanks North Derbys.Date of review: August 29, 2011

Michael Phelps set the U.S. Open record in the men's 200m free with a time of 1:44.10. It was his second win of the week after breaking the world record in the 400m IM on opening night.
Those three swimmers officially qualify for the U.S. Olympic Team in those events, as does Jessica Hardy with her first-place finish in the women's 100m breast (1:06.87). The swimmers rounding out the top four in the men's 200m free - Club Wolverine's Peter Vanderkaay, Longhorn Aquatic Club's Ricky Berens and Trojan Swim Club's Klete Keller - also automatically qualify.
In setting her world record, Coughlin became the first woman to swim the 100m back in under 59 seconds. She has held the world record in this event since August of 2002, when she became the first woman to break the one-minute barrier.
On Monday, she lost the record for the briefest of periods as Hayley McGregory of Longhorn Aquatics broke her former mark of 59.21 in prelims with a time of 59.15. Coughlin reclaimed the record in the very next heat in 59.03.
Tuesday night belonged Coughlin. She was out in front of the field from the start of the race, and was 23-hundredths of a second ahead of world-record pace at the wall. She held off McGregory and King Aquatic Club's Margaret Hoelzer down the homestretch, touching six-hundredths of a second ahead of her former world record, and 24-hundredths ahead of Hoelzer, who finished second in 59.21.
"It was nice to see fireworks tonight and get that ticket to Beijing," said Coughlin, referring to the pyrotechnics fired off at the Qwest Center when a swimmer breaks a world record. "This is such an emotional meet that it is a relief to make the team. Now I can take a deep breath and enjoy the rest of the meet."
Peirsol came out on top of a tight field in which the top six swimmers were separated by less than a second. Randall Bal of Coral Springs Swim Club turned at the 50 two-tenths under world record pace, but the race was a dead heat between the top six swimmers before Peirsol surged ahead in the final 25 meters. Tucson Ford's Matt Grevers finished second in 53.19.
"It's a huge confidence booster any time I can come out on top of a field like that," Peirsol said. "It's the fastest heat I've ever been in. Sixth place would have medaled (at the Olympics in 2004). I knew what I had to do today, and 54.0 wasn't going to make the team this time.
"I feel like I have a huge weight off my back. Some of those guys were matching my best times."
In the men's 200m free finals, Phelps took the lead and was even with the world-record pace at the 100-meter mark. From there, he distanced himself from the rest of the field as the crowd stood on its feet and cheered him home.
Finishing behind Phelps was Club Wolverine teammate Peter Vanderkaay in 1:45.85, Ricky Berens of Longhorn Aquatics in 1:46.14 and Klete Keller of Trojan Swim Club in 1:46.20. David Walters of Longhorn Aquatics (1:46.64) and Erik Vendt of Club Wolverine (1:46.95) rounded out the top six.
"I think the only think I wasn't happy with was my last turn," Phelps said. "I took a double breath going into it, but that's just a little thing I can fix between now and the Olympics.
"I'm really excited about the prospects on our relay. We could put together the four fastest guys ever, and it's possible we're going to see something that's unbelievable."
Hardy led the women's 100m breast from start to finish and was three-tenths ahead of world-record pace at 50 meters. She appeared to build on her lead as she headed into the second length, but fell off world-record pace as she neared the final wall. King Aquatic Club's Megan Jendrick out-touched Stanford Swimming's Tara Kirk by one-hundredth of a second for second place, turning in a time of 1:07.50.
Hardy 's time was two-hundredths off the meet record of 1:06.85 that she set in Monday's prelims.
"It's definitely a dream come true," Hardy said. "Every day for the past four years it's been in the back of my mind. I'm just thankful and grateful that it's become a reality. All it took tonight was just racing my competition. I know (the Olympics) are going to be competitive, but I'm prepared for it. Right now, I'm just very relieved and excited."
The first-place finishers in the finals of the women's 100m back, men's 100m back and the women's 100m breaststroke - along with the top four finishers in the men's 200m free - automatically qualified for the U.S. Olympic Team Tuesday. The second-place finishers in the women's 100m back, men's 100m back and women's 100m breast - along with the fifth- and sixth-place finishers in the men's 200m free - will likely be named to the team later in the week, pending swimmers qualifying in multiple events.
In Tuesday's semifinals, Katie Hoff of North Baltimore Aquatic Club qualified as the top seed in the women's 200m free, turning in a time of 1:57.10. About three-quarters of a second separate the rest of the field.
Hoff is also the top seed in the women's 200m IM tomorrow, swimming to a meet record of 2:09.94 in Tuesday's semifinals. She is almost a second ahead of the rest of the field, which includes Coughlin. Coughlin set a meet record in the first heat of semifinals in 2:11.72, only to have Hoff break that record in the second heat.
After his win in the 200m free, Phelps returned to the pool to qualify as the first seed in the men's 200m butterfly. Phelps holds the world record and owns eight of the top 10 performances of all time in this event.
Tomorrow's events include prelims and semifinals of the men's 100m freestyle, women's 200m butterfly and men's 200m breaststroke. Finals will be conducted in the women's 200m free, men's 200m fly and women's 200m IM.
Be sure to catch all the action from tomorrow night's finals and semifinals live on the USA Network, beginning at 7 p.m. CT.

It's safe to say that I'm a newby when it comes to puerh. I've only got a handful of bricks and cakes but so far they have all come sealed in their own ways. I just recieved a few pieces and I've got some ?'s about them. This is a Mengku cake.
It came unsealed like this. Is this normal for mengku cakes? Also, I received a few 100 gram bricks that actually weigh more like 85 grams or a bit less with the wrappers. Is this normal? I normally don't weigh my tea when I get it. I just happened to slap one on the scale because it looked so small, and yes, my scales are accurate. I know humidity can affect the weight of the tea, but this seems very light.

Zachary Christie, very cute six-year-old boy, made the front page of the New York Times. He's been suspended from first grade and sentenced to 45 days of reform school for bringing his Cub Scout camping tool, which includes a fork, spoon and knife, to his Delaware school. He wanted to use it to eat his lunch.
. . . based on the code of conduct for the Christina School District, where Zachary is a first grader, school officials had no choice. They had to suspend him because, "regardless of possessor's intent," knives are banned.
School officials are afraid to give themselves discretion for fear that they'll be accused of favoritism or racism. They can't look at Zach's age or his excellent behavior record till now and just tell him not to do it again. They prefer to send a very small boy to a school with older delinquents who've actually harmed others.
Zach is being homeschooled by his mother, the PTA president, while the family appeals the suspension. They've set up helpzachary.org to mobilize support.
Last year, Delaware legislators gave school boards flexibility on zero-tolerance expulsions.
The law was introduced after a third-grade girl was expelled for a year because her grandmother had sent a birthday cake to school, along with a knife to cut it. The teacher called the principal — but not before using the knife to cut and serve the cake.
But the law doesn't cover Zachary, who was suspended rather than expelled. The Legislature is working on a new law that will give school boards' discretion on suspensions too. Call it "Zachary's Law."
Update: Waco, Texas trustees have dropped zero tolerance for weapons, instead telling principals to consider mitigating factors such as self-defense, intent, the past behavior record and disability.
Update II: Turns out Zachary's school board did have discretion. Under media and parental pressure, the board redefined a blade less than three inches long as an "instrument" rather than a weapon and cut the penalty for kindergartners and first graders to five days of suspension. Zach is back in school.
Meanwhile, Instapundit points to more zero-tolerance idiocy: A 17-year-old Eagle Scout in upstate New York is serving a 20-day suspension for keeping a two-inch pen knife in a survival kit in his car, which was parked in a school lot. The pen knife was a gift from the boy's grandfather, who's the police chief in a nearby town. The senior fears this will kill his chances of getting into West Point.

Everyone else is doing one, so lets get one started here:
Here is my defensive top 3:
1. Bennett: He has been unblockable against the pass and a force against the run. I think he is a first rounder in the 2015 draft. He is a serious player that is getting overshadowed by two guys (Spence and Washington) that really have not done that much. Don't get me wrong, they are good players and make some plays, but Bennett has been a machine.
2. Bosa: I can't remember being this impressed with a true freshman since Katzenmoyer. I cannot believe the things that Bosa can do already and he looks to have a JJ Watt like ceiling. Imagine what he plays like when he develops the violent hands that Bennett has gotten from Vrabel.
3. Shazier: Makes a lot of big plays, would be higher if his fundamentals were better (not a great form tackler). I wonder if this (and the rest of the LB play) is an indictment of Fickell. I think that is a discussion for another thread.
1. Corey Brown: He actually looks like a legit NFL receiver now, probably like a 4th-6th rounder, but that is a far cry better than he was last year.
2. Carlos Hyde: Would be #1 if he had been doing what he has been doing for the entire season. Again, he looks like an NFL back. He is hitting the hole a lot harder this year and is showing better vision.
3. Braxton Miller: He has been pretty good. I still hate watching him run the read option, and I am not convinced he was healthy during the NW game based on how tentative he looked while running. Throwing motion is better, but he still carries the ball like a loaf of bread.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (150 votes).
In short: Should come with a health warning!In full: All those hills!! It certainly was a slog. Very hilly, either up or down, according to my garmin total ascent over 4100 feet, but what goes up must come down, so some lovely long slopes to recharge the muscles before you go up again. The marshalls were excelent and very encouraging,though a few more would have been handy in the woods at times. lots of water and orange juice stops, lovely scenery and a nice sunny day. Good allround organisation. well done to all finishers.Date of review: July 21, 2008
In short: Though, well organised and rewardingIn full: Ran it 2 minutes faster than last year, so slight improvement. It was really though throughout the course. Plenty water stations, great marshalls, very well organised indeed! Superb part of Surrey too!Date of review: July 21, 2008
In short: You need really strong legs for this oneIn full: Amazing race, almost no flat at all, you are either running uphill or downhill. There are some wonderful long downhill stretches where you feel like you're flying, but then you have to run the equivalent distance all the way back up - I've never known hills go on for so long. But the route was lovely, and shaded from the sun which was very welcome, and the marshalls were all brilliant and very encouraging.Date of review: July 21, 2008
In short: Great fun challenging race. Long, gentle-to-steep ascents followed by sharp rocky descents aIn full: I ran this for the first time in 2008, following excellent reviews.You start in the grounds of a pretty old private school in the depths of Surrey (good parking, toilets and showers).The atmosphere is very friendly with about 250 people taking part.The run starts slowly by winding up through the school, up through a narrow path between fields and over a few sytes. You then enter a mixture of pretty woodland and wide open country tracks.The course is cleverly designed so you pretty much run the same course twice but in opposite directions.The course is dominated by long, fairly tough ascents and then sharp downhills, which makes it a real challenge, all the work you do on the ascents is not rewarded !The run culminates in the ascent of the summit of Holmbury Hill (one of the highest points in South East England).People talk of adding 15% to your normal time, I would argue it is close to 20%, so a really good workout.You are applauded through the finish line and there was a nice atmosphere at the end and a real sense of achievement.Date of review: July 21, 2008
In short: A nice reminder to those that for forgot how hardIn full: A nice reminder to those (like me) that for forgot how hard this slog can really get.Date of review: July 21, 2008
In short: 13.1 miles of sand and stones, barely a hint of tarmac and great view once the sweat is wiped from your eyes. Everything off-road racing should be, well done Mabac. ifDate of review: July 21, 2008
In short: .In full: Given the excellent reviews, I ran the race for the first time in 2008. As a quick summary this is an excellent, demanding cross country run set in pretty woodlands. The run is dominated by long gentle to steep uphill runs, and then quick sharp rocky terrain downhills. You start in the grounds of an old private school, that has plenty of car parking, toilets and showers. The race itself has good markers and enough water stops.The run starts by winding up through the school, up through some narrow paths between fields and over a few styes. After a mile you are then in woodland and the route cleverly takes you through a mixture of woods and long open paths, with the race culminating in a long mile ascent up to the very summit of Holmbury Hill (one of the highest points in South East England).Nice friendly atmosphere with massive sense of achievement at the end.Date of review: July 21, 2008
In short: lovely run in the woodsIn full: lots of shaded areas keeping you pleasantly cool. Fantastic scenery that nearly makes you forget the few tough hills on the way to the finishing line. Not as bad as I thought (after having read the forum), but still rather challenging.Date of review: July 21, 2008
In short: No flat at all!In full: Either up or down long sandy tracks with superb view over the Weald at 9 miles. Slog it certainly is but a enjoyable slog!Date of review: July 21, 2008
In short: 3 or 4 monster hills make this like a stage of the Tour de France at times. But very rewarding all the same!Date of review: July 21, 2008

Bert - Do you have an opinion on what the best home mill would be? Best source for Kamut? Any info appreciated.John
Here is the picture of the 25% Kamut instead of 10%. As you can see the coarseness of the home ground Kamut is beginning to come through. You can feel it in the dough. We will see if the "sharp edges" I mentioned above will effect how it rises.Bert
Norma:I will try your recommendation. What does your experience say you should increase to? Right now it is a 59% hydration dough.In breads they recommend adding a dough enhancer. The dough enhancer is supposed to strengthen the gluten. They usually have lecithin and citric acid in them among other things. I have not tried the dough enhancer yet but thought that could be another option as well. I would love to figure out how to get 30%+ of fresh ground flour into my doughs.Thanks,Bert
Norma:That is exactly what you want. Berrie or whole kernels are the same. Your grinder should work fine. If you can adjust the mill, you want to set it on the finest grind possible. Have fun.

Combined transit considered
FAIRMONT – Would it be feasible or profitable if Martin and Faribault counties transit systems partnered up? The state hopes a study to be conducted next year will answer those questions.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation is assessing the potential for cooperation among the 46 transit systems throughout the state, with an eye on more regionalized systems.
"In the past few years, there have been a number of discussions between Faribault and Martin County, along with MNDOT to consider this type of restructuring, including consolidation," said Martin County Coordinator Scott Higgins. "Due to the past discussions by the two counties, MNDOT has chosen to conduct a pilot study with the Faribault and Martin County transit systems to directly evaluate and make recommendations for the regionalization opportunities for the two counties."
Martin County commissioners gave unanimous approval Tuesday for the state to go ahead with the study.
It goals include:
o Establishing a baseline understanding of the regionalization opportunities. Recommendations will guide future public transit funding applications for participating transit systems.
o Understanding the benefits and concerns from such an arrangement.
o Recommending cooperative strategies to pursue what could potentially include coordination or consolidation of the two transit systems.
o Develop an implementation plan to guide Martin and Faribault counties toward a cooperative or consolidated model.
Work on the study is expected to begin Jan. 1 and be completed by June 30.
"One of the reasons I think they're looking at us is because we already share and work together with Faribault County on several other things, such as Human Services and Prairieland," Higgins said. "They could be looking at us as a model and applying what we do to other counties."

Advanced Micro Devices remains very optimistic about its ability to ship graphics processing units (GPUs) made using 28nm process technology this year. The company believes that 28nm node will not only provide it an opportunity to offer advanced graphics chips "shortly", but also to get lower manufacturing costs as a result of work with both of its foundry partners.
AMD already has working samples of GPUs produced using 28nm fabrication process and expects to release a number of chips made at 28nm node in calendar 2011. In fact, AMD vows to be the first designer of graphics chips with 28nm-based offerings on the market, which means that the firm wants to again beat Nvidia with time-to-market with leading-edge fabrication process, just like it did with 90nm, 80nm, 65nm, 55nm and 40nm nodes.
"We have working silicon in-house and remain on-track to deliver the first members of what we expect will be another industry-leading GPU family to market later this year. We expect to be at the forefront of the GPU industry's transition to 28nm," said Thomas Seifert, interim chief executive officer of AMD, during the most recent conference call with financial analysts.
Among the natural advantages that 28nm process technologies with high-k metal gate (HKMG) will bring (e.g., ability to increase performance and improve feature-set while maintaining or lowering power consumption or costs), AMD expects that it will be able to manage risks and costs if required since 28nm fabrication process will be offered by both Globalfoundries as well as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
"At the 28nm node, all of our products will be based on bulk process technology, providing increased flexibility to work across our two committed and valued partner. [...] [With the introduction of 28nm process technologies], our flexibility to manage risk across the foundry partner ecosystem that we have has significantly increased," said Mr. Seifert.
Even though both Globalfoundries and TSMC both offer 28nm fabrication processes, they are hugely different and AMD will not be able dynamically re-assign manufacturing of particular chips from one foundry to another. Still, thanks to the fact that the two contract makers of semiconductors by definition have higher capacities than one, the ramp of new product family will likely occur faster than typically.
Although AMD did not reveal when the first GPUs made at 28nm node become available it implied that they may emerge on the market earlier than one might expect.
There is the 28nm product coming. That is a great opportunity to grab share again, just like we did with the industry with the DirectX 11; you saw what that did to our revenue. There is another opportunity coming up again here shortly," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of products group at AMD.
Later during this year AMD is projected to release its first graphics processing units made using 28nm process technology code-named Southern Islands. The SI family is projected to support DirectX 11 functionality along with architectural improvements and some new features

Jail time for 1 in housing scam
MENOMINEE – A former Bark River contractor convicted of embezzling funds paid to him to construct a home was sentenced Monday to 11 months in jail, according to Menominee County Circuit Court officials.
Jason Bradley Ives, 33, owner of North Country Construction, was found guilty of two charges during a trial in May. A jury rendered a guilty verdict for one felony count of larceny by conversion $20,000 or more and also found him guilty of being an unlicensed residential builder, a misdemeanor.
During Ives' sentencing Monday, Judge Mary Barglind ordered the defendant to 11 months in jail for the felony and 172 days in jail for the misdemeanor. He was given credit on both counts for 172 days already served in Menominee County Jail.
In addition to jail time, Ives will be placed on probation for five years. He was also ordered to pay a total of $503 in fines and costs. Restitution to the victims will be determined in a separate circuit court hearing on Aug. 16, said a court official.
Ives was charged with the above two counts in connection with the construction of a home for Jim and Jeanette Andersen of Bark River.
A similar trial is scheduled in Menominee County for Aug. 12-15. Ives is being prosecuted for being an unlicensed residential builder and larceny by conversion $20,000 or more regarding a home-remodeling project for Cole and Misty Nehring of Hermansville.
The Andersen and Nehring cases were the topics of a state hearing held in Marquette on June 27. The Department of License and Regulatory Affairs has yet to issue rulings on the complaints filed against Ives on both construction contracts.
Earlier this year, the agency revoked Ives' license, fined him $10,000, and ordered him to pay $104,680 in restitution for state code violations on a home he partially constructed in Rapid River for Bonnie and Jim Anderson of Milwaukee.
Ives has also been the defendant in civil and criminal cases in Delta County. In regards to criminal charges, he was convicted of three counts of larceny by conversion $1,000 to $20,000 and served three jail terms. The offenses date as far back to the spring of 2010.

I have told some of you about this, but not all since there hasn't been loads of time for discussion.
Now there is:
Terra Folk had a few gigs booked in the north of scotland but to make the gigs viable financially they needed to fill in with a couple of edinburgh dates.
However, they had no venue and they were all expensive and they love us. Since they couldn't have upstairs i (and others) thought we could offer them £300 to come, get a licensce, have them do a workshop for the community music etc, and then have a kick ass party all night. I offered this and grame, the uk dude, accepted.
HOWEVER, it turns out we will NOT be saving their asses because the next day they have a gig at the queens hall set up. So, grame said they'd be happy to do the thing for £300 or would just play if we could help them the expense of a room (£100) plus corkage or whatever if we decide not to get licensced. They wouldn't do a workshop, but they would rock out and the grant would help them.
Of course, workshops are cool And they are amazing.
Either way, we are on our way to an excellent gig and a good compromise.
Let me know what we think and i can get back to them asap.

Between October 30 and November 1, Secretary Clinton met with government and civil society leaders in Phnom Penh, spoke with U.S. Embassy staff, and visited Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage site. After her town hall with Cambodian youth, Secretary Clinton spoke with Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong.
Secretary Clinton said, "...this is my sixth trip to Asia as Secretary of State but my first to Cambodia, and it represents the commitment that President Obama and I have made to restoring America to a high level of engagement in the Asia-Pacific region and in particular to work with the government and the peoples of countries such as Cambodia. Our two countries recently marked the 60th anniversary of our diplomatic ties, so even as we celebrate old milestones we are firmly fixed on the future to broaden and deepen our partnership."
After praising Cambodia for its commitment to combating HIV/AIDS and discussing the work of the Peace Corps, Feed the Future, and the Lower Mekong Initiative, Secretary Clinton spoke of her tour of the Tuol Sleng Museum and said, "...today Cambodia is not only preserving its own peace, it is sending Cambodians overseas to serve as UN peacekeepers in Chad and the Central African Republic and assisting in demining missions in Lebanon and Sudan. So Cambodia is actually using the lessons of its own painful past to help save lives and help other countries who are grappling with conflict and war.
"We recently contributed $5 million to Cambodia's Khmer Rouge Tribunal. And as I told His Excellency, we are committed to helping Cambodia hold accountable those senior Khmer Rouge leaders most responsible for atrocities. I salute the tribunal's ongoing efforts to bring justice to the victims that promote the rule of law. And I will do what I can to work with the Cambodian Government, with the United Nations, and the international community to ensure that we have the resources needed to proceed with Case 002.
"I am very optimistic about Cambodia's future. The last years have been transformative for this country. And I hope that the United States can be a good partner and a friend as the Government and people of Cambodia make the necessary steps to improve your democratic institutions, to improve the economy, to provide the kind of opportunities that the young people I met with earlier today deserve to have."
The full transcript is available here.
Secretary Clinton also met and spoke with staff at the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh. A transcript of those remarks is available here.

David Akers (1975/88): The 1892-CC is a scarce but not rare coin. It is a little more rare than the lower mintage 1893-CC in terms of population rarity and it is considerably more rare than the 1893-CC in Unc. The 1892-CC is usually seen in EF or AU condition although there are numerous VF examples around as well. Average uncirculated (MS-60) specimens are scarce but can be located without a great deal of difficulty. Choice quality uncs are very scarce and true gems are rare. This is another date that was considered quite rare in Unc. until the 1960's when many turned up in Europe.

If Lewis did get a new deal (and I hope it's true), then why wouldn't the Steelers announce it? Doesn't add up.
Additionally, William Gay has now tweeted, "I'm glad I didn't sell my condo in Pittsburgh," leading to speculation that the Steelers are going to re-sign him. If that's the case, it might be an indicator they're actually having trouble reaching a deal with Lewis...or that they're about to cut Ike (but that wouldn't help the Steelers a whole lot against the cap this season, so I doubt it).
Last edited by BradshawsHairdresser; 03-03-2013 at 08:24 PM.
If we kept all our DBs and signed Gay, that would be a crazy deep DB core.

I am being optimistic he will stay with the Steelers but.....
The Dolphins need CB help. We know the Wallace / Lewis relationship. "Rumors" that Cooke left the combine with a <cough> deal on the table from the Dolphins for Wallace. Perhaps Lewis's agent has bumped into the Dolphins too.

Airbus Helicopters Increases Presence in Kasakhstan
Source: Airbus Helicopters
Two Airbus Helicopters EC145s from Kazakhstan will be displayed at this year's KADEX defense exposition. The helicopters, one operated by the Ministry of Defense and another with the Ministry of Emergency Situations, are part of 45 twin-engine rotorcraft being acquired by the government.
This fleet build-up is supported by Eurocopter Kazakhstan Engineering, a joint venture of Airbus Helicopters and the Kazakhstan Engineering state company, which assembles EC145s and is developing local maintenance and training capabilities to support their operations in the country, as well as across the region's new Eurasian Econimic Community customs union and throughout central Asia.
To date, Airbus Helicopters has delivered 20 EC145s to Kazakhstan, which are utilized by the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Emergency Situations, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Environment. Six more are to be supplied to government agencies in 2014, with the remaining EC145s being delivered through 2016. At KADEX 2012, a letter of intent was also signed between Airbus Helicopters and Kazakhstan for 20 EC725 which marked the expansion of the joint strategic partnership to specialized military aircraft.
EC145s are used for missions including police and public services, on-shore and off-shore airlift for the oil and gas industries, emergency medical services, business and VIP transportation.
Also spotlighted at KADEX 2014 will be Airbus Helicopters' EC645 T2 and EC725 rotorcraft, which are to be presented as scale models at the event. The multi-role EC645 T2 is a new military version of the EC145, particularly adapted to light attack and scout missions; while the long-range EC725 is a versatile and combat-proven tactical helicopter, adapted for such applications as troop transport, combat search and rescue, close air support, fire-fighting and anti-surface warfare.

Truth be told, one of the largest downsides to To-Go cups, thermoses and the like is that the flavor of a tea is NOT stable. First Flush Darjeelings are at the top of my list for delivering on tea's potential for nuance and complexity... but put the finest First Flush Darjeeling in a 20oz container and 20 minutes later the color has changed from green straw to putrid orange and the taste, well... it makes me want to cry.

Barring some miracle hidden in a recount of Tuesday's primary runoff or in overseas military absentee ballots still counted through Friday, Lee Anderson is the Republican nominee for the 12th District congressional seat. He'll now plow ahead to the November election against Democratic incumbent John Barrow.
You'd think some things go without saying.
Wear your seat belt. Don't lock a kid in a hot car. Don't run with scissors.
Yet unbelted people die in car crashes all the time. Last week, eight children around the country died in hot cars. We're not aware of scissors-related accidents, but surely there must be some.
It would only seem reasonable to assume that some people either just don't get the memo, or choose to ignore it at their (or someone else's) peril.
Traditionally, runoff elections attract little attention and even fewer voters.
It doesn't have to be that way.
Barely three weeks ago, Columbia County voters decided several races in the July 31 primary. But in two races, the job isn't finished. With four candidates running for the Republican nomination for the District 12 Congressional seat, and three candidates seeking the Columbia County District 1 School Board seat, no one landed a simple majority of votes.
Thus, voters are being asked to finish the drill.
After what will have been 38 years as an educator, the final seven as superintendent of Columbia County schools, Charles Nagle will retire. He's going to be hard to replace.
His departure comes at a difficult time for public schools, but the reality is that just about any time is tough. It's only been harder for the past few years.
It appears the 12th District race for the Republican nomination has come down to Lee Anderson and Rick Allen. One of the two will survive a Aug. 21 runoff and go on to what is expected to be a very tough race in November against incumbent John Barrow.
The election is less than two weeks away, which means the candidates have a short time to persuade voters to head back to the polls. But just as being cooped up in a car for too long on a family vacation can make kids turn cranky, the compressed time until election day can bring out a lot of ugliness.
It shouldn't be that way.
There's little comfort in knowing Columbia County voters agreed with our call to reject adding an extra 1 percent to the sales tax to pay for transportation projects. Most of the counties in the 13-county region voted otherwise, so come Jan. 1, everyone's taxes on local purchases go up by 14 percent. Happy new year.
After three weeks of advance voting, the election Tuesday seems almost anti-climactic. But most people haven't yet voted, and many haven't decided between candidates. Here are our suggestions for contested races voters will find on Columbia County ballots.
We urge all voters to choose a Republican ballot. It's the only way to vote on all available contested races.
Chief magistrate
The term "the check is in the mail" is a time-worn phrase generally understood to mean the opposite, using the U.S. Postal Service as the scapegoat for a missing payment.
In the case of disabled veterans overcharged on their property taxes for the past four years, finding a scapegoat will be a little harder – but at least the check actually will be in the mail.
County officials around Georgia didn't find out until this spring that a change in federal guidelines in 2007 granted larger homestead exemptions to qualified disabled veterans.
As Augusta officials continue to fret and wring their hands over recent violence after First Friday, from Columbia County's perspective you have to wonder: Why not demand safety and security every Friday?
For that matter, why not demand safety every day? Everywhere? Why even tolerate roving bands of thugs and the violence they stir?
Starting Monday, Columbia County voters can go to the Board of Elections office in Evans to cast a ballot in the July 31 primary.
It's an important election. In fact, on the purely local level, voter participation arguably is more important than in November's presidential election. After all, local voters are unlikely to sway a nationwide outcome, but they are the only ones with a voice in local elections.

Subject: Melissa Uselton, Merchandising Director
Interviewed By: Amber Baumer & Adam Walker, Marketing Interns
What is the most rewarding aspect of being the Merchandising Director of Fueled By Ramen?
I feel like merchandise is an extension of an artist's brand and another way fans can support the artists they love. The most rewarding part of working in merchandising is seeing people wearing the merchandise that I've had a hand in creating. It's an "I did that!" moment where you feel proud of your job.
What is one of your favorite memories from when Fueled By Ramen was still located in Florida?
Well I'm still in Florida, but when the entire office was there everyone hung out outside of the office going to shows and throwing parties which was really fun.

My current lineup for this week is as follows:
QB - Warner
WR - Boldin
WR - Colston
RB - Jones-Drew
RB - Peterson
TE - Gonzalez
WR/RB - Driver
K - Rackers
Def - TEN
I am thinking about moving Driver to the WR position and putting Jamaal Charles in the flex position. Colston has been disappointing this season and I think I want to see a good week from him before I put anymore confidence in him.
What are your guys thoughts?

Buyer's Guide for SaaS Project Management Software
As the mandate to effectively manage an array of IT projects continues to grow, so does the need for tools that can make sense of all the moving parts. Our InformationWeek 2012 Enterprise Project Management Survey of 508 business technology professionals shows 60% have formal project management offices, and nearly as many use specialized commercial/project management software. For the 40% of organizations that are, presumably, winging it rather than taking on the expense of a fully equipped PMO, SaaS project management software can provide the ability to gain greater control with a minimal up-front investment.
In this InformationWeek Buyer's Guide, we'll discuss the similarities and differences among SaaS-based project management products, outline essential features and provide guidance on choosing products that match your feature requirements. We also include detailed tables that highlight features from the nine vendors that responded to our questionnaire--Alcea Technologies, CA, Daptiv, HMS Software, Innotas, Metafuse, Metier, Onepoint Project and Visionera AB.

Las Casas De La Juderia
Central location and Andalusian style. Among the labyrinth of narrow roads of Seville, modern style and classic tradition converge in the hotel Las Casas de la JuderÃa. History fills the air. The vibrant colours that dress the hotel's interiors and the friendly service of its staff fantastically mirror the true character of Andalusia. Formed by an ensemble of traditional Andalusian-style houses, it has charming courtyards and gorgeous fountains, with live music in animated piano bar, and an outdoor pool. Breakfast in the hotel's Mirror Hall is the best to start the day, while a dinner in restaurant Emporion with Mediterranean food is perfect to end it. With meeting rooms, it is ideal not only for vacationers, but for business travellers as well. In the heart of Seville, within one km from The Giralda, bell tower of the Cathedral, or the Royal Alcázar of Seville, Moorish-style palace. Some rooms are a little further from the reception. ATTENTION: San Clemente rooms (single and double) are located in an adjacent building just 200 from the main hotel and connected through the patios and the underpass.

Sticky Fingers
Blue Front Bar-B-Q Sauce has been topping chicken and ribs in South Florida since the 1960s. The tasty sauce, available in mild and hot (right) flavors as well as a wing sauce, originated in Eastman, Georgia, before the company relocated to Lake Worth, where its success took off: It's been carried in such chain stores as Publix, Winn Dixie and Wal-Mart for more than 40 years. Palm Beach real estate developer David Paladino, who bought the Blue Front company a year ago, won't reveal what's in the mustard-vinegar-based secret sauce but assures it's so tasty that "you could put it on cardboard."

Jim Cramer's Best Blogs
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Jim Cramer fills his blog on RealMoney every day with his up-to-the-minute reactions to what's happening in the market and his legendary ahead-of-the-crowd ideas. This week he blogged on:
- the market's selling disease; and
- why few tech stocks followed Cisco higher in the wake of that company's earnings.

Figuring and Fretting Over Obama's Next Move
Posted at 6:58 p.m. EDT on Thursday, Nov. 15
It's like a disease. It starts with regular common stocks. Then it extends to master limited partnerships, and now the junk bond funds have caught it. The sell disease. It feels right now that it can't be cured and we just want to stay inside and avoid it. But the only way to get inside is to sell first !
We all see the degradation in the common. That's plain enough to see with six out of seven down days. But have you seen these master limited partnerships? We own Energy Transfer Partners LP (ETP) for the charitable trust, and it caught three different huge upgrades this week, and the stock is down for heaven's sake.
What's causing it?
First, these companies need capital, and it is almost as if the junk bond spigot that they tap into has gone dry. When you look at the declines in the publicly traded junk bonds you can only wonder whether there is any capital at all for high-yield right now.
> > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll
Second, nobody wants a secondary right now, but many of these companies pay their bills with equity. So the deals get sprung and even though they might be in the hole, like the deal MarkWest Energy (MWE) did the other day, they can't seem to get their sea legs. The 8.5 million shares sold at $46.50 seem like they are all for sale!
Which brings me to still one more fiscal cliff issue. There is no doubt in my mind that people are sizing up the tax breaks of the MLPs and thinking they have to go come 2013. Others are figuring out or are fretting that President Obama is going to slam on a carbon tax and make exploration for oil so much more expensive.
Whatever, the chaos is palpable perhaps because it is impossible to have conviction in what you own because what you own is secondary to what is unfolding in Washington. And Washington simply makes you want to do one thing: sell.
Action Alerts PLUS , which Cramer co-manages as a charitable trust, is long ETP.

World Red Cross Red Crescent Day
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Dean Allison Niagara West—Glanbrook, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honour of World Red Cross Red Crescent Day, and also to mark the centennial anniversary of the passing of the Canadian Red Cross Society Act. It was 100 years ago this month that an act of Parliament established the Canadian Red Cross to serve Canadians in accordance with the Geneva conventions.
For 100 years, Canadians have had their own national society focused on emergency response, first aid and water safety training, community health, family reunification, and other services here at home, as well as humanitarian aid around the world.
This government is proud to support the work of the Red Cross movement, from helping fight diseases like malaria in Africa and providing hurricane response in Haiti, to aiding civilians in regions of conflict like those in Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.
We pay tribute to the thousands of Red Cross volunteers and staff who are dedicated to helping those made vulnerable by disasters and other humanitarian tragedies.
Child Soldiers
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, on April 25, an organization called Invisible Children hosted events to bring attention to one of the most neglected humanitarian emergencies in the world today, one where 30,000 children have been abducted to fight as child soldiers. For the past 23 years, the children of Uganda have been both victims and armed soldiers, forced into activities of rape, torture and murder.
International events took place in over 100 cities around the world to highlight the infamy in Uganda. At the Legislative Buildings in Winnipeg, over 150 young people from the Winnipeg area came out to add their voices in the hope of bringing attention to the defenceless children of Uganda. Individual refugees spoke to their own experiences as child soldiers.
I stand here today in this House to support the members of Invisible Children and to congratulate them on their successful event and their efforts to bring attention to what is happening in Uganda.
The Government of Canada must speak out and call for a change in Uganda.
Angus Autoparts
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
France Bonsant Compton—Stanstead, QC
Mr. Speaker, I never tire of singing the praises of the businesses and entrepreneurs of my region, and rightly so, for the Eastern Townships abound with innovative businesses. One of them, Angus Autoparts, was recently honoured at the regional chamber of commerce's 23rd Reconnaissance Estrie gala with an award in the retail business category.
This company is located in East Angus, in the heart of my riding, and has been run by the Blais family for the last quarter century. In 2000, ownership of the family business passed to Isabelle Blais, the daughter of its founder, and she has taken it to new heights.
In accepting her award, Ms. Blais made a point of encouraging and congratulating all women who are entering non-traditional areas of entrepreneurship. Today it is my turn to congratulate her in the House.
Bravo to Isabelle Blais and all her team at Angus Autoparts.
Canadian Red Cross
Statements by Members
May 6th, 2009 / 2:05 p.m.
Niki Ashton Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Canadian Red Cross as it celebrates 100 years of service.
This organization is renowned for dealing with crucial issues to women in our society: health care, violence and sexual exploitation.
I would like to highlight one project in particular, implemented by the Canadian Red Cross, called ENLACE, in Nicaragua. The project fills in health care coverage gaps, including family planning, immunization and pre- and post-natal care. The Red Cross works closely with women, volunteers and residents of isolated communities to improve their health care. The ENLACE project also works toward gender equality.
As the MP for northern Manitoba, a region with many women living in poverty, a lack of health care services and high rates of infant mortality, I recognize the need to heed the initiatives taken on by the Red Cross and strengthen such programs in first nations and rural communities in our north.
Congratulations to the Canadian Red Cross as it continues to provide important services here and abroad. One hundred years and counting.

Brent Rathgeber Edmonton—St. Albert, AB
Mr. Speaker, last weekend in Edmonton, 14-year-old Cassandra Williams tragically passed away from an overdose of ecstasy. At a youth party at the West Edmonton Mall, she ingested 18 doses of this illegal drug. This shocked her tiny body so badly that her heart simply stopped beating.
Sadly, this tragedy was completely avoidable.
I would like to commend the hon. Minister of Justice for introducing Bill C-15, a bill which will keep criminals who deal drugs in public places frequented by young persons, such as the West Edmonton Mall, where they belong. In jail.
I encourage all members of the justice committee, on which I serve, to approve this bill expeditiously, and all members of this House to support this very important legislation, so that we can keep criminals, such as the one who sold Cassandra the lethal amount of ecstasy, where they belong. In prison.
World Red Cross Red Crescent Day
Statements by Members
2:05 p.m.
Glen Pearson London North Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, this is World Red Cross Red Crescent Day. As a firefighter and a humanitarian worker in numerous countries around the world, I have had the good fortune to have worked with the Red Cross Red Crescent societies and have witnessed how their actions have saved more lives than any of us can count.
From their humble beginnings in 1863 in Italy, the organizations have grown to include 187 national societies, 300,000 staff and over 100 million volunteers worldwide. They are the largest humanitarian organizations in the world. They have greatly assisted Canada in our own efforts to make this world more humane and just.
I know I speak on behalf of all members in the House as we congratulate the Red Cross Red Crescent organizations on this very special day. I have seen them work. I have seen the lives they have saved. I have personally been made more compassionate by their service, as have we all.
Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Ted Menzies Macleod, AB
Mr. Speaker, I am proud and honoured to rise today in support of MS Awareness Month and to help kick off the annual MS Carnation Campaign, an initiative which over the years has raised over $45 million to fund MS research and services.
Today, volunteers from the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, MPs representing each political party, and I have been pinning carnations on members of Parliament to help raise awareness of multiple sclerosis.
Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world. Between 55,000 and 75,000 Canadians have MS. Most often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40, it is a disease that affects the entire family and society as a whole.
The MS Society works to find a cure for multiple sclerosis and enables people affected by the disease to enhance their quality of life.
I encourage all members of the House and all Canadians to support the society's efforts to make a difference for people living with this disease. By working together, we will end MS.
Annual Press Freedom Award
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Serge Ménard Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, QC
Investigative reporter Daniel Leblanc has been awarded the annual Press Freedom Award. This past Sunday was World Press Freedom Day.
The award, presented by the Canadian Committee for World Press Freedom, honours his remarkable determination to protect his confidential source, known as Ma Chouette, who enabled him to lift the veil of secrecy surrounding the sponsorship scandal and eventually led to the Gomery Inquiry. That same determined silence has led to his facing contempt of court charges, with a potential fine and a year in prison.
The Globe and Mail journalist took advantage of the awards ceremony to reiterate that a relationship of trust exists between him and his source and that no one can make him breach that confidence, since such sources are the very foundation of investigative journalism, which is of such great service to democracy.
I encourage everyone to sign the on-line petition on the Bloc site in support of this reporter, Daniel Leblanc, calling for him not to be sentenced for a criminal offence.
Seal Hunt
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Gerald Keddy South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, last night, in response to the European Parliament's vote against our seal hunt, our Conservative government called for a take-note debate, where we hoped all four political parties would be able to come together and discuss this important issue as one united voice.
Unfortunately, Canada's Parliament is not one united voice. It turns out that a Liberal senator wrote a letter to every member of the European Parliament, encouraging them to vote against Canadian sealers.
Yesterday, anti-seal groups were even lauding the efforts of Liberal Mac Harb for his part in convincing the EU to vote against our sealers.
To add insult to injury, Liberal Mac Harb is now calling Canadians barbaric for supporting the seal hunt and is publicly saying Canada should not appeal to the WTO.
Canadians should know that this Conservative government will vigorously defend our seal hunt and our sealers.
International Aid
Statements by Members
2:10 p.m.
Carolyn Bennett St. Paul's, ON
Mr. Speaker, today, the Women for African Grandmothers generously gave each member of Parliament a symbolic friendship pin. This gift is a gentle reminder to keep the promises made five years ago to get affordable medicines to developing countries in need, the Jean Chrétien pledge to Africa.
It reminds us of our duty to contribute to the global fund to fight AIDS, TB and malaria.
However, since the adoption of the CAMR legislation, only one shipment has been produced and sent to Africa in the past five years.
There are already 13 million African children who have lost their parents to HIV-AIDS and this number continues to grow.
I am proud to recognize this important campaign and call for the political will needed to do everything possible to ensure that Canada can deliver on its pledge to Africa by getting life-saving drugs to those in need.
Pork Industry
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Larry Miller Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON
Mr. Speaker, many of us just came from a Canadian pork barbecue and enjoyed some top-notch, safe Canadian pork with hundreds of other parliamentarians and ambassadors from around the world.
I would like to thank the Canadian Pork Council and the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food for organizing the barbecue so everyone could see and taste our excellent and safe Canadian pork. I know the pork producers from my riding of Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound and those across Canada produce the safest pork in the world.
During the BSE crisis of 2003, borders were shut down for political reasons and not on the basis of science. We do not need the same thing happening to the pork industry. We do not need misleading information and fearmongering about the safe consumption of pork. The science is clear: Canadian pork is safe. Countries from around the world need to keep their borders open to pork.
We all need to show our support for the pork industry. Today, Canadians did just that.
Employment Insurance
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Claude Gravelle Nickel Belt, ON
Mr. Speaker, I stand today for the 700 Xstrata workers who were laid off in Sudbury. They have been abandoned by the government before and now they are worried that they will be abandoned again.
With weeks left to work, many are looking at a very uncertain future. Will they have to sell their homes? Will they have to move away? Will the EI system they have been paying into be there for them when they need it? What does the future hold for them, for Sudbury and for communities across Canada?
They are concerned, and so far the government has offered no answers. I understand their concern. Employment insurance is broken and the government will not fix it. Jobs are few and far between and retraining is only part of the solution. Those Xstrata workers and communities like Sudbury need long-term solutions and an economic strategy to revitalize mining and build long-term sustainable growth.
Those Xstrata folks worked hard, they played by the rules and they deserve a helping hand. They deserve better from the government.
Liberal Party
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Shelly Glover Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Party and taxation go hand in hand. The Liberal leader's penchant for disclosure in recent years reached new heights a few weeks ago when he said, "We will have to raise taxes."
We are now certain that the Liberal leader has revealed part of his fiscal agenda for the future.
Since we came to power more than three years ago, we have done everything we can to ease the Liberal tax burden on Canadians. Canadians suffocated under layer after layer after layer of taxes piled on by the Liberals during their too-long time in office in recent years. But we have cut taxes for all segments of society.
A Liberal government means red ink on our tax bills and higher taxes, red ink on our heating bills and higher heating costs, and red ink on our grocery bills and watching our savings vanish.
World Red Cross Red Crescent Day
Statements by Members
2:15 p.m.
Francine Lalonde La Pointe-de-l'Île, QC
Mr. Speaker, today, we in this House mark World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day. This organization, which is the largest humanitarian network in the world, with tens of millions of volunteers, was created by Henry Dunant. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Red Cross and the 150th anniversary of the international movement.
The 2009 campaign, whose theme is "Our world. Your move.", is intended to raise awareness of the challenges we all face, from armed conflict and mass displacement to climate change and the global economic crisis. The Red Cross and Red Crescent want to inspire people, as individuals, to make a move and do something to help others, because "All can, in one way or another, each in his own sphere and within his own limitations, do something to help the good work forward," as Mr. Dunant said.
This is "a call for hope supported by action".
