Christopher's patrician elegance and quiet heroism came through not only on-screen, in the Superman movies, but offscreen, in his activist and philanthropic contributions. The son of poet and scholar F.D. Reeve and great-grandson of Franklin D'Olier, the first national commander of the American Legion, Reeve studied at Cornell and Juilliard before being discovered by Katharine Hepburn. In 1995 he was paralyzed in a horseback riding accident; since then the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation has contributed more than $48.5 million to spinal cord repair research and nearly $15 million in quality-of-life grants. His daughter Alexandra is an attorney who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, son Matthew is a filmmaker, and youngest son William is a college junior.
Matthew, Alexandra, and Will Reeve, photographed for Town & Country last year.
It's little wonder the Mannings are called the First Family of Football. Patriarch Archie and two of his sons, Eli and Peyton, have thrown the pigskin for a total of six NFL teams, and the boys have matching Super Bowl rings (Eli: 2; Peyton: 1) and MVP awards. The eldest son, Cooper, was an all-state high school receiver, but his career ended when he was 18 after a diagnosis of spinal stenosis. The Manning household, run by Ole Miss homecoming queen Olivia, is based in New Orleans. In addition to raising millions for children's causes, both Eli and Peyton helped deliver 30,000 pounds of supplies in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Peyton Manning carries his brothers Eli and Cooper for a portrait in New Orleans, 1996.

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a (tv) movie that I saw as a child.
It was on tv one christmas, and even though I saw it only once, it really stuck with me.
Now, it was a really long time ago, and I hardly even remember what it was about, but I do remember that I loved it.
I'll try to give a summary.
There are some people (a family?) lost in the woods, their car broke down or something.
They find an old building, which was once a toy factory. They get it up and running again, and make all sorts of toys.
That's really all I remember.
I know it's not much to go on, but if any of you know what movie I'm talking about, please let me know. I'd really appreciate it.

|In response to Re: exhaust venting of gas dryers
: There is a room addition built behind the garage. The laundry roonm is now appox. 18 feet from an outside wall. How do I do a proper venting and what material do I use. Thanks
You could vent straight up, byt that causes condensation headaches. Probably the smartest easiest method is to create a soffit, so that you don't cut and wall studs, and hide the soffit with furniture. Run the dryer vent to the wall of choice in flexible vent hose (they come in six foot lengths, tape them together.) See where you want to penetrate the wall and install a drver vent flap outside. Make a pencil line above and below the flex hose, and screw 1 x 3 into the studs. Cut plywood top, front, and bottom. Add 1 x 3 shims into the top and bottom to make a place to screw the front on, and assemble. Paint.

Skip to comments.Georgia Democrat yells at local doctor over health care
Posted on 08/08/2009 10:03:43 PM PDT by MissesBush
Tensions are running so high at town hall meetings that Rep. David Scott, a Georgia Democrat, yelled at a local doctor concerned about health care after mistaking him for an "astroturf" political operative looking for a fight.
Mr. Scott became visibly agitated when one of his constituents, a practicing doctor, asked a few questions about health care reform during a town hall meeting. The meeting was held to discuss a road project, but was opened up for questions near the end. That's when Dr. David Hill stood up to speak.
Dr. Hill asked Mr. Scott why he was going to vote for a health care plan similar to that implemented in Massachusetts "that is shown not to work" and if he supported a government-provided health care insurance option.
The congressman replied by accusing the doctor of "hijacking" his event.
"I'm listening to my constituents, OK?" Scott said, "These are people who live in the 13th Congressional district, who vote in this district. Thats who Ive got to respond to So what youve got to understand, those of you who are here, who have taken and came and hijacked this event we dealing with here, this is not a health care event."
"You chose to come and to do it on your own," he yelled. "Not a single one of you had the decency to call my office and set up for a meeting." He went on, in a threatening voice, "You want a meeting with me on health care, I'll give it to you!"

Okay, then the DEMOCRATS need to shut up!!!
Lets review:
Who was it that expanded Medicare and Medicaid to cover many, many more people than it was originally designed to cover?
So DEMOCRATS ... SHUT UP!!!
You have no integrity!!!
The Town Hall meetings show no signs of letting up.
Here's the thing. When you drop the big-name hospitals out of this argument....and talk to small-town doctors...they have zero interest in this whole concept. Most admit that they can't see their continued existence in ten years with the plan...it'll be big-name hospitals which survive on and flourish under the Obama plan. Competition will be eliminated or absorbed. So these small town doctors are explaining their problem to the customers...democrat and republican.
When you see anxiety amongst the population...especially outside of metro regions of the US....it's small-town folks of both parties who are asking alot of questions now. These representatives may end up voting for the bill...but their existence after November of 2010 would be questionable. They have guaranteed themselves some opposition and reasons to vote against them.
Sounds as though the Congressman is feeling a little pressure from all sides.
Democrats Pick Up Seats in House and Senate!
-my prediction for the Election of 2010
With all due respect. I don't think JFK or Truman would want much to do with the Democratic party of the 2000s. JFK was a tax cutting "trickle down" supply sider. Truman envisioned a national healthcare program, but he didn't have Chicago thugs running his White House. Truman, like Palin is now.. was good people.. the kind of person you could trust after a handshake over some cold beers (with no cameras around, no fake photo ops)
As for LBJ. It is ironic that his medicare program would be destroyed if this bill passes.
How does that work? Even Dingy Harry has competition.
Yeah..."Open Borders"
Gee, I wonder where that little socialist hairball Maurice Hinchey is, who, by the way, at Christ Church in Binghamton NY in November of 1998 said the following "Conservatives remind me of the German Youth of the 30's..."
You started the Nazi Name calling you twerp. We are not Nazis. we are Liberty loving patriots.
The election process will be co-opted and goonified.
A meeting where they control when the meeting is over and nothing the congress critter says is on tape. Why bother?
How dare a lowly citizen expect his representative to answer a question. I bet he didn't even avert his eyes when he asked the question.
-my prediction for the Election of 2010
Mine as well. Not because people vote for them, but because of the massive vote rigging ACORN is no doubt already working on. Corrupt Media will do their part as well to make polls appear to show Rats doing well, selective reporting, the usual all bad all the time, demonizing of Republican candidates.
Communists will do ANYTHING to avoid debating the merits of their argument.
"This person has a disease, you're mean by debating him!"
"This person lost her house! How DARE you argue with her!"
"You're not black! Don't you even DARE to talk about this!"
"SHUT UP! You're not even from here!"
Keep the pressure on. They're losing and they know it.
The town hall meetings of this August will be goonified by the end of the month. The RATs think they have a winning "frame" by saying people in the meeting are "outsiders" and "agitators". The non-Acorn type.
A few more yelling sessions, even if it's the RATs doing the yelling, and they'll claim they are in danger from some domestic terrorist group, and demand federal marshals, or the 0bama Youth, to keep the peace and take down names and license plates.
Dude, Truman was a leftist, through and through.
Speaking of open borders...
Maybe someone could look up the list of hospitals shut down and chopped up due to non-payment and ER visits of illegals.
Who, in spite of what they tell you, will also be covered ((they'll put it back in mark-up, ala SCHIP).
Nice post,VERY informative.
I've been posting much of the same information the last few days, yours however is a lot more detailed.
I see the writer is using the democrat talking point by saying TH protesters are astroturfing.
You are making FAR to much of ACORNS ability to actually swing an election. What they do is despicable, sure, but when the bright lights are shining on them their effectiveness is greatly curtailed.
Of course I have no idea how many if any the Rep will pick up in 2010 and all anyone can go on is the trend. This year the Rep have picked up 18 State Legislature seats across the nation and they are leading handily so far in the Gov races in both NJ and VA. The pressure is now on the Left and they are clearly on defense. Yours and others here who seem to be throwing their hands up saying "nothing matters because the Democrats will simply manufacture enough votes and win anyway" sounds both defeatist as well as tinfoil hat conspiracy like. The main stream medias ability to sway public opinion has been disastrously reduced and this only hurts the Left. As victory begets victory, so does defeat beget defeat. I believe Obama will NOT get either the Cap and Trade or health care bills he so desperately wants (and needs). he will be then seen as what he really is, ineffective and nothing more then all mouth and no "ass".
The key is to keep up the pressure and force the Left to get ever more hysterical and outrageous in their own defense.
Unfortunately, a combination of election fraud and a last-minute infusion of stimulus money may accomplish just that.
That is a very optimistic view and I hope you are right.
My worry is the $650 billion in stimulus funds that might very well be held back for use right before the election.
Vote buying par excellance.
Might be held back ...? Of course it will be held back until then. But sometimes politicians can be to clever by half. What will ultimately hurt the Democrats badly is their truly astounding hubris. They seem to have no problem telling even their own followers they are simply not smart enough to think for themselves.
I frankly believe it impossible for lie to be piled upon lie and hypocrisy upon hypocrisy without a price being paid. If I am wrong then the American people are as stupid as the Democrats believe they are and will get just what they deserve. Unfortunately there are those of us who are aware and will have to suffer along with them. Personally, I don't worry about it much as I'm over 60 and I've got mine. I need not depend on the government for a thing. I do feel bad for the kids and grand kids but I did warn them of what was to come should the Kenyan be elected. Three in my family voted for the guy, two have renounced their vote and the 3rd won't talk about it.
We are a divided country, if you look at the tracking polls, with half the country consisting either of stupid dupes or people who are too lost in their own little world to have anything but the most superficial idea of what's going on.
Either/or? I know plenty of people who have both these character flaws and are completely oblivious to any suggestion their thinking may be wrong headed regarding the Kenyan and his Chicago Thugocracy.
The Dems/Leftists/fascists fail to understand who is opposing them. It's us senior citizen military vets. We don't take crap from anyone. By labeling us "Nazis" all they do is piss us off more and make us protest even more loudly. But then, Libs have always hated the military.
You are correct...the two categories are NOT mutually exclusive by any means!
Truman pushed to have the US as the FIRST Nation to fully recognize the then-new State of Israel.
WHere does that fit the lefty model?
The folks who are in both categories absolutely baffle me. How do you live your day-to-day life under conservative principles, yet swear by opposite values at the national level?
Do they believe that principles change the way they behave as you go from the personal level to the state and national level?
Nathan, you are exactly right. There is only so much phony voting ACORN can carry out. And in conservative mostly-white House districts in the South, the ones that helped put Pelosi in as Speaker in 2006, ACORN would have little or no influence to rig elections in these type of suburban districts.
While I don't think there's a lot of pick up opportunities in the Senate other than perhaps Dodd and Specter (if Specter is the Dems's nominee in PA) and maybe the open seat in Illinois, I think we could easily see a 30-35 seat turnover in the House, assuming voters stay angry, among these so called Blue Dog Democrats who have turned into major phonies—and their conservative constituents know it too.

Suffering from bald patches thanks to a hair conditioner spiked with depilatory cream - supplied by the murderess in her last investigation - Agatha escapes to the coastal resort of Wyckhadden to allow her crowning glory to recover in privacy. A local witch provides her with hair tonic and Agatha's lost locks begin to grow - but then the witch is found bludgeoned to death. The elderly residents at Agatha's faded hotel seem innocuous enough, if a little odd. But, as she enquires into the murder she turns up an alarming number of secrets....
©2006 M. C. Beaton (P)2013 AudioGO
"The Best One So Far"
Yes. I've been reading this series in order, and have enjoyed each of the previous eight books, but this is the best so far. It combines hilarious physical comedy (not easy to do when working with a two-dimensional page), pathos, mystery, and moments of genuine suspense.
When Agatha loses her wig, finds the first body.
Penelope Keith is brilliant, she can do both male and female voices beautifully, has impeccable timing, and pronunciation.
Agatha Raisin is a complicated 'real' character. The author has created a woman with tragic faults and doesn't 'fix' them. Though Agatha has grown to be a better person, that growth is slow, realistic, believable. Agatha always makes the same stupid mistakes with men, because she follows the 'fault line' of the personality Beaton has created for her. These books are fun.
"Agatha Raisin and the Witches of Wyckhadden"
I enjoyed Agatha's adventures in Wyckhadden, but I wish she would make better decisions in her personal life.
"Agatha and the Supernatural"
top ten
Besides Agatha! Charles was on hand again when needed....I love it whenever Agatha has a should to cry on. He really is a great support to Agatha....I am glad this has never developed into an actual romantic relationship.
She is 'the' Agatha Raisin. No one can compare to her...she is fantastic. She does for Agatha what David Suchet does for Poirot!
When Agatha feels at her lowest...charles shows up! Never gets old.
Loved the book.
"Too short"
The first Agatha raisin books were longer, now they seem to get shorter and shorter, with the solving of the murder coming too quickly just before the end. Still good books, they just go by too fast.
"The Witch in the Recording would be apt"
I enjoyed the story. I enjoyed Agatha branching out. Feels unfortunate that she is still suffering from some of the same Agatha maladies but I think we all know and love them and I've come to expect it. The recording on this one had some very strange and unceremonious pauses. The seem to serve only to disrupt my listening pleasure. Does anyone do a quality check on these before they roll them out?
I'm in my mid 60s and Love Audible, I'm trying many different types/styles of Audio books, I'm Dyslexic so Audible is wonderful,Love Audible
"Agatha does it Again"
I'm really Enjoying this Series, Agatha is such a Loveable misfit , she and James Love each other but just can't get it Right, Penelope Keith is an Excellent Narrator, already got the next Audible book.....
I've enjoyed the previous books in the series, but this installment was my least favorite so far. Some of the plot devices in the beginning were so far fetched that I almost stopped listening. I agree with the other reviewer who wished Agatha made better choices.
The editing/production was bad - many unusually long pauses between & in the middle of sentences & between paragraphs. I wish there was a way to rate that without dinging the author.
"The Witches of Wyckhadden"
Another good tale of the adventures of Agatha Raisin. lighthearted and fun. Penelope Keith is a very good reader, her accents are sometimes not perfect but hey you get the picture. I have enjoyed this story.

Government Orders

The Acting Speaker Bruce Stanton
The hon. member will have 10 minutes remaining for questions and comments when the House continues the debate on the motion.
Canada Post
Statements By Members
June 14th, 2011 / 1:55 p.m.
Maria Mourani Ahuntsic, QC
Mr. Speaker, in its 2009 annual report, Canada Post confirmed its profitability for the 15th year in a row. It had consolidated net income of $281 million on revenues of $7.3 billion.
Canada Post's enabling legislation provides that this public service must be financially self-sufficient, not that it must seek to obtain profit at any cost or at the expense of providing equitable service everywhere, particularly in small communities.
The federal government must give clear instructions to Canada Post's management to make postal workers an offer that respects the spirit of the Canada Post Corporation Act. The government's current inaction regarding this labour dispute must not lead to the possibility of imposing special legislation that is unfair to those who helped build this crown corporation.
Don Valley East
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Joe Daniel Don Valley East, ON
Mr. Speaker, I happily stand in this House for the first time, being sent here by the constituents of Don Valley East. I thank them for their trust and confidence in electing me as their federal representative.
I am pleased to report that Don Valley East has already benefited from our economic action plan. In collaboration with the province and the city, there has been investment in major projects in our community such as upgrades to Victoria Park, trail and path rehabilitation of Anewan Greenbelt and Rowena Park, and marquee tourism events, just to name a few.
My constituents have expressed their support for our economic action plan and the recently tabled budget that promises to invest in our communities, businesses and social programs.
I thank all those who worked tirelessly for me on my campaign and continue to support me. I especially thank my wife, Lan, who has been by my side throughout this journey.
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Marc-André Morin Laurentides—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, this is my maiden speech in the House, and I would like to thank the people of Laurentides—Labelle for their clear confidence in me.
I would particularly like to congratulate the participants and organizers of the fourth Mont-Laurier Relay for Life, who helped make the June 10 event a huge success. Three hundred teams walked all night in a relay around the track behind the Saint-Joseph composite school to raise money for the fight against cancer. The 1,200 participants raised over $264,000.
I had the honour to address the participants, volunteers and organizers who have set an example for this House. They expect us to work constructively towards the common good, despite our differences.
Parliamentary Outdoors Caucus
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to inform my colleagues, both new and experienced, about the Parliamentary Outdoors Caucus, a non-partisan group which represents the Canadian heritage activities of hunting, fishing, sport shooting and trapping.
As the largest federal all-party caucus during the last Parliament, our goal is to preserve and promote these pursuits, protect them in law, and encourage the public to accept them as traditional outdoor heritage activities.
Millions of rural and urban Canadians of all political affiliations, backgrounds, ages and abilities contribute over $10 billion annually to the national economy, and support over 100,000 jobs through fishing and hunting activities.
I cordially invite all MPs and senators from all parties to read the information that has been sent to their offices about the Outdoors Caucus and join us as we ensure that these activities, our collective heritage, remain available to all Canadians.
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Francis Scarpaleggia Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
Mr. Speaker, this year marks the centennial of the town of Baie-d'Urfé in my riding of Lac-Saint-Louis.
On May 9, I attended a meeting of the Baie-d'Urfé junior council that re-enacted two of the town's earliest council meetings held on July 18 and September 16, 1911, respectively.
The junior council was created in 2008 under the leadership of Mayor Maria Tutino as a vehicle to allow Baie-d'Urfé's youth to get involved in decisions affecting their quality of life and as a way for them to learn about democratic government.
The junior council has already exerted its influence over a number of decisions, including installing fountains, building a safety fence at Allan's Hill and purchasing basketball nets for Picardy Park.
On May 12 the junior council elected its first cabinet with portfolios ranging from treasurer to security, environment, recreational activities and intercity relations.
I invite all of the hon. members to spread the news of Baie-d'Urfé's junior council in the cities and towns in their ridings.
Manitoba Floods
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Rod Bruinooge Winnipeg South, MB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the constituents of Winnipeg South for allowing me to humbly stand before you again in this House.
I would also like to thank my wife Chantale for her constant support and advice through the years, as well as the support from our children Luke and Sarah.
During the recent campaign we experienced significant flooding in my province and in my riding. I would like to thank the campaign volunteers who put down their brochures and picked up sandbags to help the many residents who were at risk of flooding.
I am sure all parliamentarians will join me in expressing our sympathy for flood victims who are dealing with the devastating flooding that has gripped so many in our country.
I would like to express thanks to all the municipal leaders, emergency measures staff, and countless volunteers and military for all the help that they have given us.
I would also like to thank the Prime Minister for his commitments to this flood fight and for the significant investment that was made in the Manitoba floodway which once again saved my riding as it has many times in the past. While we cannot prevent these natural disasters, we can work with other levels of government to mitigate these disasters in the future.
I would also like to make mention of my Liberal opponent who also set aside his campaign to help the flood fight.
Youth Charitable Program
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Rick Dykstra St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House today to recognize Canadian Tire Jumpstart Day held on May 28.
Canadian Tire Jumpstart is a community-based charitable program that helps financially disadvantaged youth participate in organized sports and recreation by covering registration fees, equipment and transportation costs. Of the customer donations to Canadian Tire Jumpstart, 100% is reinvested in the local community.
One in three Canadian families struggle to include their children in sport and recreation activities due to financial barriers. This year Canadian Tire Jumpstart reached its goal of $3 million raised and is well on its way to helping 30,000 children this summer.
The Government of Canada has been a major supporter of Canadian Tire Jumpstart and since the program's inception in 2005, it has helped more than 300,000 children.
I would like to congratulate it on its success and ask each member of the legislature to join me in recognizing the great work Canadian Tire Jumpstart is doing for families across our country.
Grand Valley
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
David Tilson Dufferin—Caledon, ON
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise in the House today to recognize the 150th anniversary of the town of Grand Valley.
First settled by the Joyce family in 1855, Grand Valley was originally known as Joyce's Corners. The first municipal council was formed in 1860 led by Reeve George Todd, some of whose descendants maintain their residence in Grand Valley to this very day.
From 1860 to 1886, the village was called Luther Village, at which point it was named Grand Valley for the beautiful Grand River which meanders through the downtown.
Today, Grand Valley is home to several community organizations, including the Lion's Club, the horticultural society, and the Grand Valley historical society.
On the weekend of July 1, Grand Valley's current mayor, John Oosterhof, will join with residents and visitors to celebrate the town's 150th anniversary.
I ask that the House join me in congratulating the residents of Grand Valley as they mark this milestone.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Robert Aubin Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am both moved and proud to be speaking for the first time in this House on behalf of the people of Trois-Rivières.
The people of Trois-Rivières who provided me with this opportunity come from all political parties, and I wish to thank them for their support.
Many of them heard and believed in the NDP's message about working together to find solutions to the issues affecting them.
I still have hope that the government will be open, given that many Canadians did not put their trust in the Conservatives. Canadians still expect their voices to be heard.
At a time when then the government is preparing to revisit representation here in the House, why not give real weight to each citizen's vote by implementing a system of proportional representation? And why not give Quebec the status it deserves as a founding nation and as a distinct society?
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Brian Storseth Westlock—St. Paul, AB
Mr. Speaker, on May 2 Canadians gave this government a strong mandate to represent Canada's interests and values at home and abroad.
Since coming to office, our Conservative government has implemented a principled foreign policy, as in Libya where Colonel Gadhafi has been waging war against innocent civilians, the very people he claims to represent. According to reports, his despicable actions include the torture of children and the use of rape as a weapon of war.
Our Conservative government has not and will not ignore the plight of the Libyan people. It is why we recognize the national transitional council as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people. It is why we have pledged more humanitarian funding, including funds to help victims of sexual violence.
Today, we seek the unanimous consent of the House of Commons to extend the Canadian aspect of the NATO effort in Libya. We cannot sit idly by as Gadhafi's thirst for power continues to oppress the Libyan people and claim innocent lives.
I urge all members of this House to stand today and vote for the Libyan people.
International Trade
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Russ Hiebert South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canadians chose a strong, stable majority Conservative government that will deliver on improving the financial security of Canadian families. We intend to do just that.
This weekend, the members of the NDP will be discussing many issues at their party convention. Before they discuss any trade resolutions, I urge them to think about jobs for hard-working families. The NDP cannot claim to be concerned with creating new jobs while putting forward resolutions calling for a complete withdrawal from free trade agreements.
International trade is a kitchen table issue. It creates jobs, increases prosperity, and accounts for almost 60% of our annual GDP.
The NDP has opposed every single free trade deal that our government has put forward since 2006. Its platform does not mention free trade even once. This is a stark policy difference between this Conservative government and the NDP.
We call on the NDP to stand up for jobs and to stand up for free trade.
Holocaust Remembrance Day
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, within an hour we will be commemorating national Holocaust Remembrance Day.
We will be remembering horrors too terrible to be believed but not too terrible to have happened, with universal lessons: the dangers of state-sanctioned incitement of genocide where, as the courts have put it, the Holocaust did not begin in the gas chambers, it began with words; the danger of the oldest and most enduring of hatreds, anti-Semitism, reminding us that while it may begin with Jews it does not end with Jews; the danger of indifference and inaction in the face of evil, as with the genocides in Rwanda and Darfur, reminding us that nobody could say we did not know, we knew but did not act; and the danger of a culture of impunity, which only encourages and abets further atrocity.
We will be remembering the rescuers, the righteous among the nations, who demonstrated that one person, as in the case of Raoul Wallenberg, who is an honorary citizen of Canada, can stand up against evil, prevail and transform history.
Finally, we will be remembering the heroes among us today, the survivors and their families who endured the worst of humanity--
Holocaust Remembrance Day

Social Issues
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
José Nunez-Melo Laval, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to once again congratulate all the newly elected and re-elected members who are here with us. I would also like to thank the voters of Laval who have given me the privilege of representing them in this House.
Our community also faces the challenges we spoke about during the course of the last election. We all know people who lie awake at night worrying about their retirement income or seniors who are unable to make ends meet. I spoke with people in my riding who are unable to find a family doctor, who have to wait for months to see a specialist and who are wondering if the health insurance system will still be in place for their children.

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced the appointment of six new members to Utah's citizen Resource Advisory Councils, which advise Interior's Bureau of Land Management on public land issues.
"The BLMs Resource Advisory Councils help ensure that the management of our public lands and resources are guided by a wide range of perspectives and by the input of citizens and local communities," said Secretary Salazar. "I welcome our new RAC members and commend them for their service on behalf of America's public lands. Their input and recommendations will help us restore our treasured landscapes and ensure that we are harnessing the benefits of these lands in a balanced way."
The councils, composed of citizens chosen for their expertise in various fields of natural resource use and management, help the bureau carry out its stewardship of 253 million acres of public lands. The agency, which manages more land than any other federal agency, has 24 RACs across the West, where most BLM-managed land is located. Each RAC consists of 12-15 members with an interest in public land management, such as ranchers, conservationists, outdoor recreationists, tribal officials, state and local government officials, scientists, and others.
"RAC members come from different backgrounds and reflect a wide range of perspectives," said BLM Utah State Director, Selma Sierra. "Their diversity results in a balanced outlook that the bureau needs as it carries out its multiple-use mission. The BLM is responsible for managing these various uses - such as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production - while conserving the land's natural, historical, and cultural resources."
The newly appointed members of Utah's RAC are:
Gary Kofford, elected official, Castle Dale;
Bill Hopkin, grazing, Woodruff;
Mike Roberts, environmental, Salt Lake City;
Ray Bloxham, environmental, Salt Lake City;
Stuart Sprouse, dispersed recreation, Sandy; and,
John Malechek, academia, Logan.
Information about upcoming RAC meetings will be announced as soon as it becomes available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jany from Sock monkeys, a favorite of the grandkids Our grandchildren are the perfect age for a Jack in the box. To find a monkey in the box was perfect since their dad gave each of them a sock monkey doll when they were born. The sock monkey is more unusual than the usual clown.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NBLD from Smiles-in-the-box I bought my husband the Sock-Monkey-in-the-box as a sort of "gag" present for Christmas. I figured he'd wind it up once, shake his head and move on to another gift. Boy, was I wrong! It has been wound and rewound too many times to count and every time the monkey pops out we BOTH smile. I guess it evokes memories of our simpler, pre-computer childhoods. Whatever. I'm just glad I decided to buy it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by MEMAJ from SOCK MONKEY IN THE BOX (SIMILAR TO JACK IN THE BOX) i was attracted to the sock monkeybecause there are sock dolls like this and also because my children had a jack in the box, that after turning the handling jumps up..scares the child. and it is over and over. my great grandson is two-and-a-half but very smart and he loved the monkeys which he called "ee,ee" due to the sound they made. i bought this monkey in the box for him to also have memories as my children did.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dahmooren from My 18 month old loves this toy! Although my son is already too smart for the latch operation which moves to release the lid when the song is finished, he will let me play the whole song by cranking the knob on the side, as he firmly places his hand on the top of the box, and then releases the door himself with a big, "Weeeee"; which happens to be a caption on the side of the box too. (Cute) It is a nice toy, but I am always shocked at how expensive everything is in the world, especially quality toys...29.95 plus tax at the store in Weston, VT. This one is worth it.

Latham & Watkins was established in the US in 1934, by Dana Latham and Paul Watkins. The firm gradually diversified its practice to become a full-service, international law firm, which was voted as the 'Law Firm of the Decade' by Legal Business in 2007.
The first office was established in Los Angeles; thereafter offices in Orange County, Washington, D.C., San Diego, Chicago and New York followed. International expansion began in 1990 with the opening of an office in London, followed by offices in Brussels, Barcelona, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Rome, Madrid, Moscow, Munich, Paris, Milan and Düsseldorf.
The Asian market was covered with an office in Hong Kong in 1994, followed by offices in Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing and Singapore. In 2008 the firm opened four offices in the Middle East, in Doha, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
At present, the firm has 32 offices with over 2,100 lawyers generating $2.2 billion in global revenue. It has a unique 'one-firm' culture with no fixed headquarters. Associate lawyers have representation on all the firm's administrative committees except the Executive Committee and Finance committee, and take an active role in recruitment and training activities.
Graduate Programmes
Latham & Watkins hires approximately 20 trainees every August. The training contract consists of four six-month seats, including mandatory Corporate, Finance and Litigation seats. During your third or fourth seat there is also an opportunity to spend six months in one of our overseas offices such as Hong Kong, Brussels, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Singapore, Dubai, Paris, Moscow or New York. Trainees share an office with their supervisor in each seat and are also assigned an associate mentor as an extra means of support.
Formal training is provided through Latham & Watkins Academies which are held in the first, third and fifth years post qualification. This is in addition to the practice-based internal training sessions and the PSC during the training contract.
Internships & Placements
Latham & Watkins' London office offers two-week placement schemes twice a year, both during the summer, for candidates who would like to obtain a training contract at the firm.
One scheme is for candiates who are in their final year non-law, who have graduated, or who are doing their GDL or LPC. The other scheme is for penultimate year law students. If you choose to participate in one of our vacation schemes, you will spend time in two of our departments; a week in each. Before arrival you'll be invited to tell us your preferences in terms of practice areas, and we'll do our best to place you in a seat that you request. During each seat, you'll share an office with a supervisor who is a qualified lawyer, and you will be treated like any other Latham & Watkins' trainee.
Latham & Watkins do not offer an apprenticeship scheme.
School Leaver Programmes
Sponsored Degrees
Coming soon...
Salary & Benefits
We pay £350 per week vacation scheme remuneration. If you train at Latham & Watkins, we offer you the following salary and benefits:
- Payment of GDL and LPC fees, including full repayment if you have completed your studies.
- A maintenance grant of £8,000 for each law school year.
- A bonus of £500 if you achieve a distinction for your LPC.
- A starting salary of no less than £42,000.
- A competitive qualification salary.
- A benefits package that includes life assurance, medical and dental insurance, a stakeholder pension scheme and 20 days' paid holiday a year.
We are looking for candidates with a strong academic background, which means we expect a minimum 2:1 degree and grades of at least AAB at A-level or equivalent. We look for excellent communication skills and a consistent record of personal and/or professional achievement.
How To Apply
For our summer schemes, you need to apply online between 2 October 2014 and 12 January 2015. The deadline for applications for training contracts is 31 July. Applications should be submitted through the online system.
Applicants for our vacation scheme will be invited to attend a half-day assessment to meet a mix of partners and associates and complete two 30-minute interviews. Either a partner and an associate or two associates will conduct the interviews. The first will focus on the application form and awareness of Latham & Watkins. The second will focus on commercial awareness. There's a presentation about the firm given by a partner, an associate and a trainee, and then lunch with the trainees where you'll be able to ask questions and find out what it's really like to be a trainee at Latham & Watkins. If you attend a vacation scheme and decide that you wish to apply for a training contract with us, you will be asked to complete one further interview during the second week of the scheme.
Applicants for our training contracts who do not attend the vacation scheme are asked to attend a half-day assessment, to complete one 30 minute interview covering the application form and Latham & Watkins awareness, one 45 minute written task and finally a 45 minute interview to discuss the written task and to field queries involving current and commercial awareness topics.
All correspondence relating to graduate recruitment should be addressed to Graduate Recruitment at firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone on 0207 710 1000.

A Balm When You're Expecting: Sometimes Pot Does the Trick
February 20, 2017
Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is a brain disorder due to thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency.
Korsakoff psychosis; Alcoholic encephalopathy; Encephalopathy - alcoholic; Wernicke's disease
Wernicke encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome are different conditions. Both are due to brain damage caused by a lack of vitamin B1 (thiamine).
Lack of vitamin B1 is common in people with alcoholism. It is also common in persons whose bodies do not absorb food properly (malabsorption), such as sometimes occurs after obesity (bariatric) surgery.
Korsakoff syndrome, or Korsakoff psychosis, tends to develop as Wernicke symptoms go away. Wernicke encephalopathy causes brain damage in lower parts of the brain called the thalamus and hypothalamus. Korsakoff psychosis results from permanent damage to areas of the brain involved with memory.
Symptoms of Wernicke encephalopathy include:
Symptoms of Korsakoff syndrome:
Examination of the nervous/muscular system may show damage to many nerve systems:
The person may appear poorly nourished. The following tests are used to check a person's nutrition level:
Blood or urine alcohol levels and liver enzymes may be high in people with a history of long-term alcohol abuse.
Other conditions that may cause thiamine deficiency include:
A brain MRI may show changes in the tissue of the brain, but if Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is suspected, treatment should start immediately. Usually a brain MRI exam is not needed.
The goals of treatment are to control symptoms as much as possible and to prevent the disorder from getting worse. Some people may need to stay in the hospital early in the condition to help control symptoms.
Monitoring and special care may be needed if the person is:
Thiamine may be given by injection into a vein or a muscle, or by mouth. It may improve symptoms of:
Thiamine usually does not improve loss of memory and intellect that occur with Korsakoff psychosis.
Stopping alcohol use can prevent additional loss of brain function and damage to nerves. Eating a well-balanced, nourishing diet can help, but it is not a substitute for stopping alcohol use.
Without treatment, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome gets steadily worse and can be life threatening. With treatment, you can control symptoms (such as uncoordinated movement and vision difficulties), and slow or stop the disorder from getting worse.
Some symptoms -- especially the loss of memory and thinking skills -- may be permanent. Other disorders related to alcohol abuse may also occur.
In people at risk, Wernicke encephalopathy may be caused by carbohydrate loading or glucose infusion. Always supplement with thiamine before glucose infusion to prevent this.
Call your health care provider or go to the emergency room if you have symptoms of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, or if you have been diagnosed with the condition and your symptoms get worse or return.
Not drinking alcohol or drinking in moderation and getting enough nutrition reduce the risk of developing Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. If a heavy drinker will not quit, thiamine supplements and a good diet may reduce the chance of getting this condition, but do not eliminate the risk.
