Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Aminolevulinic acid application followed by exposure to a certain type of light (blue light using the BLU–U Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy Illuminator) treats the skin condition called actinic keratoses.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:

Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Studies on this medicine have been done only in adult patients, and there is no specific information comparing use of aminolevulinic acid in children with use in other age groups.
Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults or if they cause different side effects or problems in older people. There is no specific information comparing use of aminolevulinic acid in the elderly with use in other age groups.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur.

The blue light treatment lasts approximately 17 minutes. Your doctor may want to re-treat you after 8 weeks if your skin condition did not completely resolve.
Call your doctor if you cannot return for the blue light illumination treatment after the aminolevulinic acid application. You should then protect the treated skin from sunlight and prolonged or intense light for at least 40 hours.
After aminolevulinic acid application you should avoid exposure to sunlight or bright indoor light (e.g., from examination lamps, operating room lamps, tanning beds, or being close to lights) up until the time of the blue light treatment.Wide-brimmed hats or similar head covering can help protect you from sunlight or sources of light.
Sunscreens will not protect you from sunlight or sources of light.
Reduce your exposure to light if you experience stinging or burning on the treated areas before blue light treatment.
Do not wash the treated areas before the blue light treatment.
You and the doctor will wear eye protection during the blue light treatment.
During the blue light treatment you will experience sensations of tingling, stinging, prickling or burning of the treated skin. These feelings of discomfort should improve at the end of the light treatment.
Following treatment, the actinic keratoses and possibly the surrounding skin will redden and swelling and scaling may also occur. These changes are temporary and should completely resolve by 4 weeks after treatment.

I was listening to lectures on Revelation by D. A. Carson, and he was commenting on the textual variant in Rev. 1:5, λύσαντι "free" vs. λούσαντι "wash." Carson suggested that the textual difference was because they were pronounced the same, and that the textual variant came about from transcribing oral dictation.
http://thegospelcoalition.org/resources ... ion-part-2 (~11:45-14:40)
However, according to Randall Buth's Reconstructed Koine pronunciation, υ and ου were not pronounced the same. Is Carson wrong here, or was there a time when υ and ου could have been confused orally? Are there other examples of υ and ου being confused? Should we consider this an accidental insertion (or deletion) of an omicron instead of an oral dictation error?

The Sears-owned chain follows the lead of Wal-Mart and Toys 'R' Us.
Thad Rueter
Kmart will let its customers reserve items online and then pay for them via cash and other methods inside stores under a new program called Pay in Store, which is designed to appeal to consumers without credit cards. In offering the service, the Sears Holdings Corp.-owned chain follows the lead of such major retailers as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Toys 'R' Us Inc.
Here's how the program works: A shopper selects eligible items on Kmart.com and then chooses the Pay in Store option. That reserves the purchases for 48 hours. Kmart will send a confirmation e-mail to the shopper, who brings it into the store and pays with cash, credit or debit card, check or Pay in Store loyalty points. Kmart says not all products are eligible for the program, although it didn't provide details.
Products purchased for same-day, free in-store pickup can be picked up immediately. Kmart says consumers also can opt to pay inside the store for orders and then have them delivered within two business days to that shopper's home. Wal-Mart offers similar services, though products oderered on Walmart.com for in-store pickup and cash payment may not be immediately available. Toys 'R' Us doesn't provide the in-store pickup option with cash payment of online orders. For customers who order online and pay cash in store, Toys 'R' Us only offers to ship such orders to the customer's address, the retailer says on its web site.
"With Pay in Store, we offer more choices and provide access to online shopping for a large, underserved portion of the U.S. population that wants the convenience of shopping online but does not have a credit card or is reluctant to submit their card information via the Internet," says Imran Jooma, Sears' executive vice president and president, marketing, online and financial services.
Sears is No. 6 in the 2013 Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide. Its sales in 2012 reached an Internet Retailer-estimated $4.2 billion, up 16.5% year over year. Kmart's pay-by-cash offer represents the parent company's latest attempt to sweeten its e-commerce appeal. Late last year, for instance, Sears launched an Amazon Prime-like free shipping program.
At least two other chains have beaten Kmart to the pay-by-cash e-commerce option. In April 2012, Wal-Mart, No. 4 in the Top 500, launched a similar "Cash" program that targets consumers without payment cards. Then in November, during the holiday shopping season, Toys 'R' Us, No. 30 in the Top 500, added its own "pay in store" option for online shoppers.

Skip to comments.People are Buying Guns and Ammunition for a Reason
Posted on 12/25/2012 8:51:16 AM PST by Nachum
It's 2:00 a.m. You are at home in your bed sound asleep. Your wife is sleeping beside you, and your children are asleep in their rooms down the hall.
The muffled sound of a window breaking interrupts your slumber. You're groggy and you wonder if it was just a dream, so you lie there quietly and listen. A few seconds later, you hear other sounds. The window opens; a table beside the window makes a noise as it is jostled by an intruder; through your open door, you see reflections from a dim light that's moving from side-to-side on the floor below.
You are your family's protector. What should you do?
If you are like most Americans, there is not much that you can do except pray that the intruder won't come upstairs. In 2011, only 47% of Americans had a gun in their home or on their property. Republicans were more likely to own a gun than Democrats, but between 2009 and 2011, gun ownership among Democrats increased by 33% compared to less than 4% for Republicans. Obviously, people who call themselves "Democrats" are beginning to realize that something isn't right.
The scenario that I presented may sound like a nightmare situation, something that happens only rarely, but that's not the case. According to the FBI, in 2011 there were 1,203,564 violent crimes in the United States. That's 386.3 violent crimes per 100,000 people in our country. That means that in 2011 you had a less than 1% chance of being a victim of a violent crime in the U.S., but for those who were victims, statistics didn't matter in the slightest.
The FBI reports that aggravated assault accounted 62.4% of violent crimes committed in the U.S. in 2011; robbery was the criminals' motive 29.4% of the time; forcible

Three out of five boxes have been exhausted.
Help me out here. I know that "ammo box" is one. What's the fifth?
Pine box?
Burial box perhaps?
Some say the mail box ....
Soap box
Mail / in box
Ballot box
Jury box
Ammo box
You went one better with the mailbox.
More importantly, the leftists are obsessive about "gun control" for a reason, and it ain't a good one.
"You are your family's protector. What should you do?"
Um - dial "911" and wait 20 or 30 minutes for the police to come? (so they can draw chalk-lines around my dead body)
or -
Grab my 12-gauge and light and head on down the hall....
I have my guns because of the communists takeover of America. Locked and loaded.
During the entire 60 plus year history of TV, the weapon that all fathers grab, is a golf club.
It's 2:00AM.I hear glass break followed by blood curdling screams as our German Shepherds swarm the intruder.Do I go downstairs and break up their party or just let them have their fun?
The president and most of our elected officials are protected by people with guns, as are celebrities and athletes. We protect our money and property with armed people, and we see armed guards in hospitals, casinos and airports. The school attended by Obama's daughters has 11 armed guards. Why do the Democrats insist that we turn our schools, where are most precious possessions are, into ideological battlegrounds where the Democrats arguments are purchased with the blood of innocents? The high schools where I live all have sworn officers assigned to them o a permanent basis, and the only shooting in 30 years occurred when the police shot a mentally disturbed student who showed up with a pistol and threatened a mass shooting.
How many dogs?
The bullets in the first magazine or for intruders, the next 500 to 1,000 rounds I have for every gun in my house are for when the SHTF or
for when someone comes to try and take them away from me.
Obviously the old saw about we "being the ones with all the guns" is no longer true (if it ever was).
Ouch !!
I was interested in buying a few more AR-15 30-round magazines.
Good luck: completely sold out. Every make. Every model. Every manufacturer.
At least some Americans are awake.
We routinely attend public meetings where armed CA Dept. of Fish and Game wardens line the back walls. We have had local farmers and ranchers visited by agents in full flack jackets to inquire about their water diversions. This is the message of intimidation our government is sending us. Perhaps our Founders were smarter than we give them credit for.
Damn, brother, that is something.
I am glad you are here.
I have hunted my whole life, yet for many years didn't think I was a handgun kind of guy, let alone defense rifles, shotguns and so on.
Now I carry, I conceal and am (not so) slowly building my system of personal and family defense.
Often I'm accused of paranoia, sometimes I wonder myself.
Your photograph and your quiet presence on the boards speaks volumes of truth.
Tip o'the hat to you. Hey-—and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
...and it's not to turn them in for any new law, buyback program, or confiscation.
Thanks, FRiend.
And a Very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year, to you & yours!
I just bought another load of 40-30rnd & 20-40rnd mags from Bushy last night, so they're back in business.
Actually, it didn't hurt; my fiancee and I were feeling no pain from all the champagne we'd had at the premiere of "People" Magazine opening in W. Palm Bch, FL.
It didn't even bleed. Just left a half-grapefruit-sized red mound w/ black dot in center. Wound sealed itself. The .32cal bullet missed all organs, bones, nerves, arteries etc. Everything. Just amazingly stopped short of the spine.
Trauma ctr doc in S. Miami Hospital said I was luckiest SOB he'd ever seen in 20yrs. "God was sitting on your shoulder tonite", I remember him saying. "He's saving you for something." Removing bullet would have caused more trauma than being shot, so we opted to leave it in. Hasn't caused any problems in 63yrs...
It would be irresponsible dog ownership to not at least scratch their ears and give them a "Good dog!" after they're done. No rush getting down there though.
I hope you are right. And even if you are, we need to be more than merely awake, as the results of the last election ought to have taught us: we need to organize. The other side can do that using a national organization (the Democrat Party) as an umbrella because they are collectivists who believe in centralized government power.
Our mistake, I now believe, has been to believe that a similar national organization (the Republican Party) can serve the same function for us. But they can't - because such an organization given a leadership role will always seek to consolidate its own power and control in the seat of national government (Washington, DC), to the detriment of the various individuals and coalitions that it depends upon for support.
What we end up with is what we have seen: the same, but less. Collectivism on the cheap. Dime store socialism. Surrender masquerading as cooperation.
The answer is to remove power from Washington by enforcing the Constitution and returning power to individuals to manage their own lives in each state and each locality. But how do we do that when virtually all of our public institutions are controlled by leftists committed to the consolidation of power and control in a centralized government structure?
Perhaps we may begin by using their own guerrilla tactics against them, and why not, now that they are in charge and seeking to remove all practical means by which we might oppose them?
Heard a thump and a tumble in the middle of the night, with just the wife & I home.
She was surprised how quickly I was up and armed, headed out the bedroom door.
It was only box, that had been poorly balanced, sliding off of the couch, to the floor.
Good practice, no harm, and the wife knows I won't be fumbling for the phone, when danger calls.
At least some Americans are awake.
could be a reason but another possibility: Government buying as many as possible. Remember, multiple agencies and departments of government just purchased 100s of thousands of rounds. You can bet they aren't loading each bullet manually.
It's a savings plan for the Gov buy back!
Maybe it's time a few farmers visited these "officials" at their homes, where they shop, where they vacation with their families... Just sayin'.
The County Board of Sups. referred the situation to the D.A. to consider initiating a criminal prosecution against them for engaging in a conspiracy against people's rights. http://www.siskiyoudaily.com/article/20121217/NEWS/121219819/-1/Top%20stories
18USC242. If they were indeed armed then life imprisonment is quite possible.
"Home invasions are one reason but I think the biggest reason is that people anticipate that they are going to have to protect themselves from the government large hordes of city dwellers looking for food, water, etc."
Used to be "if". Now, it is "when". "Soon."
Well, let's see.
Our acting president and his party are actively wrecking the economy creating more and more dependants.
At some point the checks will stop and/or prices will skyrocket. They have armed up paramilitary drug gangs along our southern border. And now they are using the Connecticut shooting as an excuse to make it more difficult for law abiding citizens to purchase weapons to defend themselves. Bet they start talking about national gun registration soon. If they haven't already.
I have to admit that is probably what I would do, because I am a hothead and don't want anyone to take our stuff. Most of the time they would probably run off if they weren't cornered after they heard you chambering a round.
But I have heard that uder most circumstances... the safer more reasonable thing to do would be to make sure that you and your family are safe in a defendable hidden place of cover then wait for the intruder(s) to come to you. Then blow them to pieces before they have a chance to come up with a plan to disarm and kill you and your family.
Understand - but the best defense is also a good offense - take the fight to the enemy.
On the other hand, I have never fired a shot at another human being - so, do I let the adrenalin take over while I'm still in attack-mode, or seek an easier, softer way?
I've thought long and hard on that - guess I really don't know until it's time....

Cars lined up as far as the eye could see, and after four hours, volunteers at this year's Douglas County electronics recycling event watched as seven 52-foot trailers and two 24-foot trucks drove off with an event record 150,000 pounds of e-waste.
But that wasn't it. According to Bill Ormsbee, the county's IT service desk manager, who has been organizing the event since it was originated in 2007, the 50 volunteers who came out collected $5,200 in donations for Douglas County Search and Rescue, filled two-thirds of a 48-foot trailer with donations destined for Goodwill and shredded roughly 30,000 pounds of personal documents — all records.
"To me it says the citizens are thinking more responsibly about how they get rid of things," Ormsbee said. "They are watching out for the future generations and getting rid of all the things that they have hanging around their house, in their drawers, that aren't doing anything. You might as well do something responsible with it all."
After three straight years in Parker, the Oct. 5 event at Castle View High School marked the first time Castle Rock had hosted the event since 2009 when it was at the justice center. It also marked the first time the county was able to offer residents the ability to donate their old television sets and monitors for free after someone in the finance department discovered the solid waste fund could be used to cover the cost.
Volunteers at this year's event spanned the generations and were made up of a mixture of students, adults, county employees and off-duty sheriff's employees. They were all kept relatively busy too, as an unprecedented 1,325 cars rolled through the Castle View parking lot with their donations between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
The previous record haul of electronics was 120,000 pounds in 2008, just one year after the county filled just one 24-foot trailer with about 15,000 pounds. And while 30,000 pounds might not seem like that much of a difference, Ormsbee is quick to point out that "televisions were a lot bigger and heavier back then."
The event isn't just about electronics, though, and every year the county has worked to add in another service, from partnering with nonprofits like Cell Phones for Soldiers, to finding a cause for monetary donations to go to, to adding a clothing drive to assist Goodwill, to offering document shredding.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
A sophisticated mine refuge chamber over the period of two years has been developed and fabricated through a joint effort of Modern Mine Safety Supply, LLC, a local Emery County business and Mining Health and Safety Solutions Inc. a South Jordan business owned by previous residents of Carbon and Emery counties.
Two years of hard work on a prototype mine refuge chamber brought MMSS to the point that it was time to conduct a test that would involve human test subjects. The purpose of this test was to determine two major factors. Would the mine refuge chamber be able to maintain breathable air and remain cool enough inside to keep miners alive and safe? Thirtysix people showed up on site at the MMSS fabrication shop to participate in the test and 26 were finally chosen to actually do so. The participants were requested to complete a confidential detailed medical questionnaire and had their blood pressure and other vital signs checked by EMT Martin Wilson. Several of the prospective human test subjects were asked not to participate due to various health conditions or if they had a cold or other respiratory problems. The personal medical information was not associated directly with the individual and was kept strictly confidential.
The test subjects were briefed by Randy Tatton CMSP, President of MHSS. Tatton said, "We appreciate everyone coming. This is a very critical and special human subject test that has not been done before. I am confident that we are going to take care of the atmosphere inside and keep you safe." Tatton stressed that the miners first priority must be to evacuate to the surface in the event of an emergency, but when that's not possible, they may possibly be saved if they have a chamber of this type to get into until emergency response personnel can reach them.
Tatton explained that being in the mine refuge chamber is just like being closed in a trunk of a car or a freezer It's an air tight box. He said the critical difference is that the air inside the mine refuge chamber is maintained to be breathable. Medical grade oxygen is used to replenish the oxygen that is consumed by the respiratory process and the exhaled carbon dioxide is absorbed by the carbon dioxide scrubber.
Tatton stressed to participants that the entire atmosphere inside the mine refuge chamber when the doors are closed will be the same atmosphere that will be breathed for the duration of the test. The air will just be re-conditioned to ensure breathability and recirculated throughout the chamber. He said the systems that maintain the air breathability have been thoroughly tested and proven.
Tatton said the most critical thing they are concerned about is if the occupants should become too hot and that the primary purpose of this test is to ensure the inside of the mine refuge chamber remained cool enough so as not to be dangerous to the occupants. Tatton showed a chart which outlined the temperature and humidity levels which they would use as a guideline to ensure the temperature inside the mine refuge chamber was safe for the occupants.
The human subjects were to remain in the chamber until the temperature stabilized. If the temperature rises above safe levels, the test subjects will be removed. If this is the case, air conditioning will be needed prior to the units being delivered to the mines that have purchased them.
Randy Harris who works with the Office of Miners Health, Safety and Training from West Virginia was on hand for the test. He said the state of West Virginia approved the mine refuge chamber and mines there are required to have one near each working section of the mine. By the end of the year, 300 of these chambers will be installed in West Virginia mines. He said the mine refuge chambers were considered as a means to provide breathable air following the Sago mine disaster where 11 miners died of asphyxiation only 1,000 feet away from fresh air. Harris said this product has been developed with no money from the federal government. Four small businesses have done this voluntarily and should be commended.
The 26 participants climbed into their chamber at 6:35 p.m. The temperature of the chamber was 65 degrees at the onset. At 7:50 p.m. the temperature had climbed to 77 degrees and the oxygen level had elevated to 21.1 percent. At 8:30 p.m. the temperature was 78 degrees. An hour later the temperature inside the chamber was 79 degrees. When this temperature is applied in conjunction with the relative humidity which was 80 percent, the resulting apparent temperature is 84 degrees. This is a safe apparent temperature for the occupants. When apparent temperatures rise above 94 degrees it begins to become detrimental to human health.
The 26 occupants of the chamber passed the time in various ways. Some of them struck up a poker game and others played games on their phones. Some slept or read or talked. Wilson the EMT was kept busy taking the blood pressure readings. Jeri Proulx was kept busy taking readings and reporting them by radio to those on the outside monitoring the instruments from the outside. In a real emergency the atmosphere inside and outside will be monitored from within the chamber.

The Emery County Commission made a decision on the contract for the public defenders for indigent offenders in Emery County. David and McKette Allred have had the contract for several years. This year the contract was bid out among local lawyers. County Attorney David Blackwell explained that public defenders have been under scrutiny from the American Civil Liberties Union. They have filed a law suit against the state of Montana as well as counties in Utah. Blackwell said Carbon and Emery counties have not been named in the ACLUs law suit. He believes this is because the public defenders in Emery County have years of experience in public defense.
The ACLU claims that public defenders in some places are the lowest paid and most inexperienced of lawyers and they feel this doesn't give the people they defend a fair shake so they have filed this law suit. Blackwell said that may be the case in some places, but Emery County defendents who need a public defender have been well represented and Emery County was not targeted in the law suit. Emery County officials contacted the lawyers within Emery County and asked them for bids for the public defender contract. Three law offices submitted bids including Oliver and Sitterud Law Office, Mark Tanner Law Office with Associate Travis Blackburn and the David and McKette Allred law office.
During a prior commission meeting all of the law offices were present as the commission opened the bids. Each law office also had the opportunity to speak on their behalf. Oliver and Sitterud told the commissioners that while they are young and new to their law careers they have a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm and energy to use on behalf of their clients. They speak to all of their clients and visit them in jail if need be.
Mark Tanner told of his experience in all facets of the law and also his ability to speak Spanish and he would be willing to work with the Spanish speaking people who need defense.
David and McKette Allred said they have been the public defenders for the past almost 20 years and they have the experience necessary to continue in the job they have been doing. McKette specializes in the family rights cases and David takes care of the criminal actions. They also handle the drug court.
The commissioners listened to all of the lawyers and then tabled the matter at that meeting so they could review the applications and the dollar amounts involved.
When the issue was brought up again at the commission meeting on Tuesday, Blackwell said all of the bids were higher than they thought they would be. The decision was announced to go with the Allred law firm and the Tanner law firm would be used for all conflict of interest cases as well as any Spanish speaking cases.
During the interim period between commission meetings, County Attorney Blackwell contacted the Allreds and Tanner law firms to ask them to lower the fees outlined in their applications so they would fit in the county attorney's budget. Blackwell was concerned that the public defender fees would eat his entire budget leaving no funds available for issues that may arise and also for any cases that go to trial. The contracts were renegotiated and the fees were reduced to fit within the budget. Blackwell said he likes to keep $20,000 in the budget as a cushion for unknown expenses, but with the increases in the public defender budget he will only be able to keep about $12,000 for trials, appeals and other expenses.
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth said she feels comfortable with Attorney Blackwell's recommendations and made a motion for the approval of the public defenders contracts.
Oliver and Sitterud said they were disappointed in how the situation was handled.
Attorney Blackwell said this is the first time they have asked for bids for public defenders. Prior to this a contract was negotiated with the lawyer to contract with the county to provide the public defender services. Because of the threat of lawsuit by the ACLU, it was decided to go with the more experienced lawyers. He also said the ACLU doesn't really like the bidding process because they think it gives counties an excuse to take the lowest bids.
Commissioner James Nelson said in their trainings as commissioners they were warned about the ACLU lawsuit and counties need to protect themselves against such lawsuits.
The contract for the public defenders will become valid on Jan. 1, 2012 and continue for a period of three years, to Dec. 31, 2014. The county has agreed to pay the monthly sum of $4,700 for these services. In the matter of conflict cases the county has agreed to a monthly sum of $1,500.

Germany v Portugal (Group G, Salvador, 1700 BST)
If you're still unsure as to how important the fitness of Cristiano Ronaldo is to this fascinating tie, check out the anytime scorer betting. The Ballon d'Or winner is favourite at prices ranging from evens to 11/8, but after him come six Germans before you get to the next Portuguese. Without Ronaldo, it's clear that most expect Portugal to struggle in front of goal. It's hard to be certain at this stage just where Ronaldo is in terms of fitness - there are conflicting reports doing the rounds - but it seems clear to me that were this first game against Ghana or the USA, he would not feature from the start having again limped out of training earlier this week. That it's against group favourites Germany may force Paulo Bento's hand and it's therefore also possible that he plays despite not being 100% ready.
Germany of course were dealt their own blow in the run-up to the tournament when Marco Reus was ruled out through injury and that leaves veteran Miroslav Klose as their only recognised striker. The Lazio man isn't expected to start against Portugal and there seems a growing belief in football circles that Germany may flatter to deceive here, one fed by the absence of perceived attacking options. It isn't one I agree with. Spain have demonstrated that an out-an-out striker isn't a necessity and in Thomas Muller, Mario Gotze and Mesut Ozil, coach Joachim Low has three of the most dangerous midfielders in the World Cup all capable of filling the so-called 'false 9' position. In addition, Andre Schurrle's performances for his country continue to impress more than those he produces at club level while Bastian Schweinsteiger and Lukas Podolski are also capable of chipping in. There's of course a slight concern that those mentioned endured long seasons - albeit with some degree of success - but again it's not something which overly concerns me and that feeling stems once more from the success of Spain in recent years, with the core of their squad always involved in the latter stages of domestic competitions. Certainly, if Ronaldo is ruled out I'd make Germany a fine bet at odds-against and I encourage you to stand by for confirmed team news and act quickly if his name is not among Bento's starting line-up. Germany qualified for Brazil in style whereas Portugal needed a play-off with Sweden, and the three-time World Cup winners have an outstanding record when it comes to getting their campaigns off to an ideal start. A minor reshuffling of their defence isn't too much of a concern, especially if Ronaldo is named among the substitutes, and their energetic style can prove too much for the Portuguese. However, such is the impact of that team news that I can't pull the trigger with any recommended bet at this stage and I'm content to hope that I'm wrong and that Portugal - tipped outright by my colleague Andy Schooler - can make a bold statement at the first opportunity in this Group E opener.
Verdict: Germany 3 Portugal 1 (BC)
Opta facts: Germany's opening game at the 2014 World Cup against Portugal will be their 100th in the competition, they are the first team to reach that tally.
Die Mannschaft have opened their last six World Cups with a victory; the last time they failed to win their opening game was back in 1986, when they drew 1-1 with Uruguay.
Germany have only lost one of their last 18 games in the group stages of the World Cup, against Serbia on 18 June 2010 (0-1), winning 13 and drawing four.
Portugal have only won one of their last seven games at the World Cup (7-0 v North Korea in 2010), drawing three and losing three.
Iran v Nigeria (Group F, Curitiba, 2000)
Not a game that will attract masses of attention pre-match, but an intriguing Group F contest lies in store nevertheless. With Argentina and Bosnia-Herzegovina to follow, it's no exaggeration to suggest both sides will be considering this a must-win if they are going to stand a chance of progressing to the round of 16. African Cup of Nations champions Nigeria are the easy-to-back favourites to claim all three points against Iran, managed by former Manchester United assistant and Real Madrid boss Carlos Queiroz. Iran's impressive form of one defeat in their past 12 fixtures (including friendlies) provides some encouragement, while the goalscoring record of Charlton's Reza Ghoochannejhad in qualification makes him of some interest in the any time (33/10) and first (7/1) goal markets. Nigeria cruised to the finals after topping their CONCACAF group and beating Ethiopia in the play-off but they have struggled in recent warm-up friendlies, including draws with Scotland and Greece and a 2-1 defeat at the hands of USA last time. Premier League fans will be familiar with the likes of Peter Odemwingie, Shola Ameobi and Victor Moses, who could all feature for the Super Eagles, but it would be unfair to expect fireworks from Stephen Keshi's team and 5/4 makes precious little appeal against an Iran team bound to try and base their efforts around a solid defence. The general lack of attacking talent on show, highlighted here in our in-depth group preview, leaves the impression a small interest on under 1.5 goals at 19/10 could be the way to approach this, but it's a game many punters will sit out in order to gain a better feel of how these teams are going to cope in Brazil.
Verdict: Iran 0 Nigeria 1 (MB)
Opta facts: Iran have won only one of their nine games at the World Cup, against USA in 1998 (2-1). Nigeria are winless in their last eight World Cup games (D2 L6). It's the longest current drought among the 32 teams taking part in 2014. The one previous meeting between Iran and Nigeria came in a friendly in 1998; the Super Eagles won 1-0.
Ghana v USA (Group G, Natal, 2300)
Football has taken a back seat in Natal over the weekend, with heavy rain causing what's been described locally as 'a small landslide', which in turn prompted the evacuation of more than 50 residences in the north-eastern city due to host Ghana v USA on Monday. These two sides have previous at World Cups, more specifically each of the last two, with Ghana running out 2-1 winners on both occasions. The most recent of those was of course in South Africa where Ghana were so unfortunate not to reach the semi-finals, and much remains the same among their ranks although Michael Essien is present this time having missed 2010 through injury. The Black Stars don't boast much of a defensive record either in qualifying or the World Cup proper and it's that which may cost them a return to the knockout stages, but against a USA side short of attacking quality with Landon Donovan left out of the squad, that issue may not show itself here. USA manager Jurgen Klinsmann has stamped his mark on the national side and they've become known for a high-paced, pressing style, the type of which will surely not be suited to the tropical conditions they're set to face in all three group games.
The former Spurs striker relies on Jose Altidore and Clint Dempsey to provide the attacking threat and that says plenty about what we can expect from the side anticipated by many to finish bottom of Group G. Granted a more stable forecast I'd be prepared to back Ghana but there remains speculation that the weather could even force the abandonment of this game. If it does go ahead then conditions are likely to be extremely poor and with points being vital to both sides in terms of their prospects in the group, a low-scoring affair could be on the cards. It's worth noting that Mexico beat Cameroon 1-0 in poor conditions here on Friday and their coach Miguel Herrera said afterwards: "We could have scored more, but unfortunately we're not used to these conditions." Something similar could well be on the cards. You can get 2/1 that there are under 1.5 goals in this game which looks fair, while it could also be worth considering 5/2 about the first half producing the most goals. I fancy there might well just be one, but if conditions do deteriorate throughout the game it's possible that it could come before the break. The bet I like, however, is USA to fail to score at 2/1 (total USA goals or Ghana clean sheet market). Recently they've failed to find the net against the likes of Scotland, Ukraine and Austria and they struggled to break down weaker sides than Ghana in qualifying. The African side aren't experts at the back but their midfield dominance, coupled with conditions, means USA may struggle to create chances.
Verdict: Ghana 1 USA 0 (BC)
Opta facts: Ghana have met USA in each of their two previous participations in World Cups, winning 2-1 on both occasions (2006 group, 2010 second round).
The USA have only kept two clean sheets in their last 23 games at the World Cup. Ghana scored more goals than any other team in the 2014 African World Cup qualifiers (25).

Luke 1: 46-48
My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
Verse: For he has regarded the humility of his servant.
BRETHREN, such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God, who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not in a written code but in the Spirit; for the written code kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Now if the dispensation of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such splendor that the Israelites could not look at Moses' face because of its brightness, fading as this was, will not the dispensation of the Spirit be attended with greater splendor? For if there was splendor in the dispensation of condemnation, the dispensation of righteousness must far exceed it in splendor. Indeed, in this case, what once had splendor has come to have no splendor at all, because of the splendor that surpasses it. For if what faded away came with splendor, what is permanent must have much more splendor.

The Office of Personnel Management has no procedure for an individual to independently apply for an investigation, positions maintained by contractor, or security clearance. Clearances are based on investigations requested by Federal agencies, appropriate to specific positions and their duties. Until a person is offered such a position, the government will not request or pay for an investigation for a clearance. Once a person has been offered a job (contingent upon satisfactory completion of an investigation), the government will require the person to complete a Standard Form 86, Questionnaire for National Security Positions, initiate the investigation, adjudicate the results, and issue the appropriate clearance.
We know that some Defense Department contractors require applicants to already have a clearance, and they have the right to administer their personnel hiring procedures the way they want as long as they don't discriminate based on prohibited factors (such as race or religion). Persons who already have clearances are those who are already employed by a government contractor (or by the government itself) and are looking for other job opportunities.
Suitability determinations are made on a case by case basis in accordance with part 731 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, for covered positions that are subject to investigation. Covered positions are those in the competitive Federal service, those in the excepted service that noncompetitively convert to the competitive service, or career appointments to positions in the Senior Executive Service. This regulation does not apply to military personnel, positions in the excepted service other than those subject to suitability, or contractors.
A felony conviction does not automatically make one unsuitable for Federal employment. When making a suitability determination, an agency will evaluate the individual's character traits and decide whether their employment or continued employment would or would not protect the integrity or promote the efficiency of the service. The factors that may form the basis for finding a person unsuitable can be found under 5 CFR 731.202(b) and include criminal or dishonest conduct.
To the extent deemed pertinent to an individual's case, the agency making the determination must give consideration to the additional considerations found under 5 CFR 731.202(c) which include things like the nature of the position for which the person is applying, the circumstances surrounding the conduct, the recency of the conduct, and the absence or presence of rehabilitation.
The RSI is not a background or criminal investigation. RSIs are
focused investigations to obtain information to resolve issues developed
about an individual. An agency may request an RSI when it needs
additional investigation to resolve issues that might fall outside the
normal scope of another investigation (such as alcohol or drug
rehabilitation or credit); to establish a history or pattern of
behavior; or to obtain other information related to suitability or
security which is not necessarily connected to a current background
investigation. The cost of the RSI varies depending on the work to be
performed; expedited service is available at an additional cost. A
representative of OPM-FIS will contact the agency prior to scheduling
the investigation to provide a cost estimate. To initiate an RSI, the
agency needs only to submit a letter or memo to OPM-FIS Customer
Customer Interface processes agency requests to reopen investigations
and conduct a Reimbursable Suitability Investigation (RSI). Agencies
may submit their requests via fax (724) 738-0178, or mail:
Customer Interface
1137 Branchton Rd.
Boyers, PA 16018-0618
If you have a question about a reopen or RSI, please call the
Telephone Liaisons at (724) 794-5228.
Reopen or RSI requests must be typed on agency letterhead and contain
the following:

Skip to comments.[Benedict Arnold] McCain Ditches Combative Role to Become Obama Senate Ally
Posted on 07/25/2013 12:36:40 PM PDT by Jim Robinson
McCain drops veil and all pretense, reveals self as complete traitor. Yes and Benedict Arnold was a war hero before he turned traitor too.
McShame has no shame.
Does a rational, intelligent thought ever cross his mind? I think not.
In fact, it took all he had. Then he became a senator.
Obama's NSA must have the goods on that corrupt political bastard. He's probably looking at life in prison if he doesn't go along.
He can't be a senator forever.
"Does a rational, intelligent thought ever cross his mind?"
What mind?
I shall enjoy taking a bodacious Obama on this dork's grave if I outlive him (or it).
This McCain just seems to LOVE being a media darling, regardless what is good for the American people.
He's full traitor now, even to the point of closing GITMO.
He's also going against the conservatives who could likely defund Obamacare.
They knocked him around a bit too much...perhaps hitting his head a couple of three times.
Never ever ever understand the mind of a liberal.
John McCain is a collaborator.
And yet he still gets re-elected??? We have a vote intelligence problem in this country.
McCain is a colaborator today as he has always been
Don't ever go Full Traitor.
Did it?
And what does that say for 2008 Republican primary voters?
He has been Hussein's stooge from the very beginning.
I pary for MacPain to have a Cerebral Anurism.
His mother is still living at 100 or so.
Dead, I am still troubled about his Vietnam years. He was an idiot before and after. I somehow doubt he could have been a stand up guy in the Hanoi Hilton.
That just doesn't compute. I will remain skeptical, but I do shy away from making any concrete allegations.
He deserves that much.
It's always about himself!
Reverse genetics - like daughter, like father?
Being a dip$#it airhead does run in the family. Still, as worthless as McCain is, I regret that he did not win in 2008, our nation would be much better off no matter how crappy he no doubt would have been.
My diagnosis...McCain's five (plus) years as a guest of his medieval North Vietnamese captors broke him.unlike with other POW's they succeeded in stealing his manhood,his very decency,from him.He belongs in the psychiatric ward of a VA hospital,not in the US Senate.
Combative role???
He wasn't even combative when he was running against him for office!
On the up-side.. he's pretty old and we wouldn't have to support him for long.
What it says is that New Hampshire should never again be the first primary.
Yankee Republicans and Democrat crossovers spoil the Republican primaries before the rest of us get a chance.
mclame will go down in history as the universe's biggest dipshi*. mclame has the world's record for drooling idiocy.
I really think that McCain and his merry band of friends realize the GOP is toast and they are prepping for their personal transition to the Democrat Party.
He can't be a senator forever.
The bad news is the Arizona voters seem bound and determined to get him as close to forever as is humanly possible!
"And what does that say for 2008 Republican primary voters?" you MEAN the "And what does that say for 2008 Republican OPEN primary voters?"?
The only possible honorable thing left for him would be to retire from politics but he won't, he's not an honorable man.
F$^#^ing Bass Turd!!
Thanks for cheering me up.
Close your primaries so crossover democrats stop selecting your candidates for you?
Barack Obama, to hear his advisers tell it, has finally found The One he has been looking for: John McCain.
We have been looking literally for years for someone we can cut deals with, and finally someone has stepped up, a White House official said. West Wing aides say they now talk with McCain roughly every other day.
McCain, to hear fellow Republicans tell it, has finally found The Two he has needed to make such conversations worth the bother: Sen. Chuck Schumer, a Democrat who can actually get things done in the Senate...
Everybody check out the "John McCain" facebook page.
I've never seen thousands of people deliver such an epic beatdown on anybody.
99% of the comments call McCain a "traitor."
The remaining 1% (supportive comments) sound scripted by the West Wing's "Social Media" office.
I firmly believe that we were actually BLESSED when McCain lost to Obama. If McCain had been elected instead of Obama, we would be MUCH FARTHER ALONG in terms of the Globalist, Communist police state.
At least Obama gets token resistance from Republicans, McCain would have gotten none.
John McCain will be another.
Why McCain is a treasonous scumbag. 2
John McCain's Whimsical World of Conservatism by DoughtyOne
You are incorrect. It has nothing to do with media fawning.
He's a full-on Saudi-controlled globalist who is happy to introduce America to communism, or if that does not work, destroy America outright.
Feckless, duplicitous, treacherous backstabber.
In the realm of morality, compromises with evil is a victory for evil in the long run.
You won't be celebrating his death for its own sake, you'll be celebrating the fact he no longer be around to do damage to our cause and things we highly value. As will I.

Rights and Freedoms
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Michael Chong Wellington—Halton Hills, ON
Mr. Speaker, April 17 marks the 30th anniversary of the Constitution Act, 1982, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which entrenched in the Constitution of Canada the rights and freedoms necessary for a free and democratic society. For 30 years, the charter has regulated interactions between the state and its citizens.
For 30 years, the Charter has spurred change.
As a 10 year old, I remember watching the broadcast of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Parliament Hill, who proclaimed the Constitution Act 1982, which brought the charter into force.
The Charter has had a fundamental effect: it has made Canadian citizenship the cornerstone of our society.
It enforces the idea that all citizens, regardless of their ethnicity or creed, share a common set of rights and responsibilities. The charter serves as a common thread in the fabric of Canada and is what makes us uniquely Canadian.
Rio Tinto Alcan Workers
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Claude Patry Jonquière—Alma, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Saturday, March 31, 2012, in the town of Alma in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, people marched in solidarity with the locked out Rio Tinto Alcan workers. Members of the public and unions from around the world came to participate in this tremendous show of solidarity.
Unions from Quebec and Canada—CSN, FTQ, CEP, CAW and the Steelworkers—as well as Australian, French and English unions and many other labour organizations came in support of the locked-out workers. I want to thank them for participating in the rally.
It is important to condemn the behaviour of Rio Tinto Alcan, which is getting rich by taking advantage of our natural resources and our hydroelectric dams. Rio Tinto Alcan has been holding the region hostage with its lockout since December 31, 2011. Rio Tinto Alcan must negotiate in good faith with the union and the employees and must ensure that the people of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean receive their fair share of the collective wealth. Rio Tinto Alcan must offer good jobs with good salaries and not create two classes of workers, thereby impoverishing the region.
Long live solidarity. Long live the workers.
Yorkton Film Festival
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to rise in the House today to give special tribute to the Yorkton Film Festival, which will be celebrating 65 years of film in May in my constituency of Yorkton—Melville, Saskatchewan.
The first of its kind in North America, the festival was established in the city of Yorkton back in 1947 by the Yorkton Film Council and local volunteers.
The Yorkton Film Festival has evolved over the years to showcase the best of Canadian short films and videos. The four day event includes workshops, showings and social events like street dances, ethnic food and live entertainment. Its grand prize, the Golden Sheaf award, is inspired by the wheat fields that surround this vibrant city and province.
I wish the organizers and participants of the 2012 Yorkton Film Festival, the longest running film festival in North America, the best of success as they celebrate the best of Canada's film industry.
National Volunteer Week
Statements by Members
11:05 a.m.
Gary Schellenberger Perth—Wellington, ON
Mr. Speaker, from April 15 to 21, Canadians will come together to celebrate National Volunteer Week.
I would like to thank the more than 13.3 million Canadians who contribute to the 2.1 billion hours of volunteer work completed in Canada each year.
Our government recognizes the considerable impact that volunteers alone can make within communities across Canada, each and every day. All Canadians can volunteer, all Canadians can make a difference.
Everyone has a the right and responsibility to be engaged. Our government knows that Canadians do not want to sit on the sidelines and wait for someone else to enact every change they want to see in their community.
I am pleased to have this opportunity today to thank volunteers across Canada for their selfless dedication and to encourage those who have not yet had the enriching experience of volunteer work to engage in this act, which is truly a reflection of our strong Canadian values.
Horeb Saint-Jacques
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Manon Perreault Montcalm, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to draw the attention of the House to the social and community-minded services that Horeb Saint-Jacques provides to the people of Montcalm and the Lanaudière region in general.
Horeb Saint-Jacques owes its exceptional influence to its many commitments within the community, as demonstrated by its wealth of programming focused on personal healing, personal growth and all forms of spirituality.
Its activities benefit people of all ages, including couples and families, rich and poor. Horeb Saint-Jacques is a welcoming place where anyone in need can meet others, find accommodation and get some support.
I invite all of my colleagues in the House to go and visit Horeb Saint-Jacques. It is a restful and very peaceful place where human beings come first, without any prejudices.
Battle of Vimy Ridge
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Royal Galipeau Ottawa—Orléans, ON
Mr. Speaker, next Monday Canadians will commemorate the 95th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Together with students from St. Peter Catholic High School we will remember Canada's victory, which was the successful capture of Vimy Ridge in a struggle for peace, liberty and hope.
Today we remember the more than 650,000 brave Canadians who served during World War I and the more than 66,000 who lost their lives.
The Canadians who were about to capture the ridge at dawn on that Easter Monday simply had to face that challenge.
At 5:30 that morning, the first wave of Canadian soldiers, each shouldering up to 70 pounds of equipment, pushed up the ridge through snow and sleet.
These were young men who, until then, had their whole future stretching out ahead of them.
It is the responsibility of each of us to remember.
Be proud of our Canadian Forces because they continue to make Canada a great country and a trusted ally.
We will remember them.
National Volunteer Week
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Nycole Turmel Hull—Aylmer, QC
Mr. Speaker, April 15 to 21 is National Volunteer Week. This is a unique opportunity to celebrate the dedication of those who serve others.
During this difficult time, as the state distances itself from its social responsibilities, our volunteers are more precious than ever. Every year, over 13.3 million volunteers contribute close to 2.1 billion hours to building a better society in Canada and around the world.
Today, I would like to highlight the exceptional contribution of one of my Hull—Aylmer constituents, Robert Saucier, who is the president of Logement intégré de Hull inc. and the Regroupement des associations de personnes handicapées de l'Outaouais. Mr. Saucier has dedicated his life to helping people with disabilities.
On behalf of my party, I would like to tell Mr. Saucier and the millions of other Canadians who volunteer how grateful we are for their work.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Katyn Memorial Day
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Ted Opitz Etobicoke Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, April 13 marks Katyn Memorial Day.
The Katyn massacre of 1940 was perpetrated by the murderous Soviet NKVD, on the orders of Stalin, with the intention of wiping out the best and brightest of the Polish nation.
Over 20,000 Polish officers who had been taken prisoner by the Red Army were brutally executed, most in the forests of Katyn. For decades, communist authorities denied this responsibility for their war crime until the Soviets finally admitted to it in 1990.
This memorial day was made even more painful two years ago, when, on April 10, the airplane carrying the Polish president, Lech Kaczynski, and dozens of high-ranking Polish officials tragically crashed at Smolensk en route to the Katyn commemoration ceremonies.
Over the next week, Polish Canadians will gather to commemorate both tragedies. I ask all of my parliamentary colleagues to join with Polish Canadians in mourning these terrible events in history.
National Day of Reflection on the Prevention of Genocide
Statements by Members
11:10 a.m.
Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, Parliament unanimously declared April 7 as the National Day of Reflection on the Prevention of Genocide, where we remember and reflect on the 18th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide that in less than 100 days, beginning on April 7, 1994, one million Rwandans, mostly ethnic Tutsis, were slaughtered, victims of a government-orchestrated campaign of incendiary incitement and unspeakable violence.
However, what makes this genocide so unspeakable is that it was preventable. No one can say that we did not know. We knew, but we did not act. As the Security Council and the international community dithered and delayed, Rwandans were murdered.
Indeed, the great tragedy is not so much how many Rwandans were murdered, but how so few intervened to save them.
And so, we promise: never again will we be indifferent to racism and hate; never again will we be silent in the face of evil; never again will we indulge mass atrocities. But we will speak and we will act to combat impunity, to promote international justice and to ensure that Canada does not become base and sanctuary for these great perpetrators of genocide. Never again.
We remember.
Firearms Registry
Statements by Members
11:15 a.m.
David Wilks Kootenay—Columbia, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to report that yesterday the Senate passed the ending of the long gun registry. For years now, the opposition has been fear-mongering and misrepresenting the long gun registry in order to maintain its vanity project intact. Right until the bitter end of this wasteful and ineffective 17-year debacle, the Liberals have ignored the will of Canadians to push their misguided agenda to treat law-abiding hunters, farmers and sport shooters like criminals.
Rest assured, by this afternoon, the bill will become law and Canadians will no longer have to register their hunting rifles or shotguns.
Our government promised to end the long gun registry once and for all. That is exactly what we have done: promise made, promise kept.
Firearms Registry
Statements by Members
11:15 a.m.
Françoise Boivin Gatineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, this morning, because of the Conservative government's uncompromising and uncooperative attitude, the Province of Quebec has gone to court to obtain an injunction to preserve firearms registry data pertaining to the Province of Quebec.
However, the minister of public peril is so obsessed with destroying the data in the registry that his obsession will end up costing Canadian taxpayers dearly.
This ideological government could not care less about what Quebec wants, what chiefs of police want or, most importantly, what victims want. The government has absolutely no respect for anyone who believes in this registry.
The provinces have the right to access the data in the registry to create their own registries. The Conservatives do not have the right to destroy the data. We will not let them off easily. The NDP will not hesitate to fight for the safety of Canadians, unlike the three Liberal senators who voted with the Conservatives and unlike all the senators from Quebec who were conspicuously absent during a vote of such importance to Quebec.
Member for Sherbrooke
Statements by Members
11:15 a.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, following the vote in the House on the excellent 2012 economic action plan, the hon. member for Sherbrooke announced that he was pleased to have voted against the budget, as he said, on behalf of the people of Sherbrooke.
By his logic, what he said last evening on Twitter is that on behalf of the people of Sherbrooke, he voted against a plan that has already helped create more than 690,000 jobs since June 2009.
On behalf of the people of Sherbrooke, he voted against the hiring credit for small business and against increased investment in research and innovation.
On behalf of the people of Sherbrooke, he even voted against eliminating wasteful spending within the government and against a sustainable old age security system.
On this side of the House, we will continue to get things done on behalf of all Quebeckers and all Canadians.
National Defence
Oral Questions
April 5th, 2012 / 11:15 a.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General has identified a never-ending litany of problems with the F-35 program: Ministers failed to be accountable and key departments failed at their jobs.
This morning, the Auditor General said that the responsibility for the misleading information that came to this House about the cost laid directly in the cabinet of the Conservative government.
Will the Prime Minister stand today in this House and tell us whether in fact the cabinet knew what the true costs were going to be for the F-35s?
National Defence
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Calgary Southwest
Stephen Harper Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, once again, the government has not actually purchased any airplanes. The government plans to do that some years hence, and we will set up an independent committee to supervise that process.
What the Auditor General in fact did say is that, in terms of his report, the government is taking steps in the right direction. Of course, he also confirms that no money has been spent on this acquisition.
National Defence
Oral Questions
11:20 a.m.
Joe Comartin Windsor—Tecumseh, ON
Mr. Speaker, is that not typical, again no responsibility and no true information coming to this House.
The government is dumping it over to an F-35 office, and it has already been found by the Auditor General that those people did not do due diligence.
What the Canadian people want is value for money. They want a plane where the specifications have not been rigged in advance. They want a government that actually takes responsibility for its failure.
What is wrong with having a competition? Why will the government not hold a simple, open competition to replace the F-18s?

Skip to comments.Exclusive: Sasha, Malia Obama vacation at Bahamas' 'Atlantis' Resort
Posted on 03/25/2013 8:15:28 AM PDT by Nachum
Sasha and Malia Obama are quietly vacationing at the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, Breitbart News has learned.
A source tipped Breitbart News off to the First Daughters spring vacation, which was not publicly announced or reported.
Breitbart subsequently confirmed President Barack Obamas daughters trip with other sources. Both the White House and the Atlantis resort declined to confirm the report or comment, but another guest provided a photograph of Sasha and Malia at the resort.
Social media, including Twitter and Facebook, have also carried reports of the First Daughters' presence at Atlantis. One person who is at the resort wrote: Rumor confirmed: friends saw the first daughters with a gaggle of friends being escorted to the held elevator.
Via Twitter, another person wrote: Obama daughters at the same restaurant as me...in the bahamas.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The sequester is tough on everybody.
How many kids that age would travel out of the country and stay at a big time resort
VERY expensive.
"Sequester for thee, but not for me!", so sayeth the Emperor.
Movin' on up.....
That would be pricess sasha and princess malia. Too bad about their parents. You know, king hussein and queen moochelle antoinette. (not sure, but hussein may be a/the queen but no doubt metro)
This stuff doesn't matter. Not in the least.
The people who voted Obama want a king. They want him and his family to be "big ballas" and live a privileged lifestyle. The Obama voters get a thrill out of seeing their king live large, showing whitey what it's all about.
When I am in Nassau I stay at the British Colonel. I'd much rather stay there than Paradise Island.
This ass hat thinks sequester's cut backs are sending his daughters to the Bahamas vs Europe.
Another Obama Lesson: "Get while the getting is good"
We stayed at Sandals on our honeymoon and took a tour of Atlantis.
He also carried his own luggage. It was empty, but he carried it just the same.
Wow... really nice place.
Hope they enjoy themselves.
We'll just be sitting back here waiting for the economy to crash under its own weight.
walking the walk vs talking the talk
Is it just me but it looks like the older daughter Malaria may have the body shape of her mother as she gets older.
Mom, Dad, can we take a vacation to the Bahamas?
Not many. Normal behavior is for children to travel with their parents, or maybe one other family, or a school trip. My first thought is of Drew Barrymore going to Studio 54 or wherever she went when she was pre-pubescent.
do they always have to travel to exotic locations and with a posse?
like mother, like daughters
and no we do not believe hat BS about how the other folkses are paying their own way
I get, "Well, he deserves it"
I correct and say, not only does he work FOR us but he earns $400 g and has a $50 g expense acct. Everything else he takes from the children, those who will pay for this, as the IS NO money - We OWE $7 T.
My extended family calls me only when, well, not very often now. They can't argue with that and I don't like to visit with people responsible for this travesty
Let's see... The last vacation my wife and I were on was in 2003. We called in the Great Light house tour. We saw every lighthouse from St. Augustine Florida to Portland Maine. A very good trip there's so much to see and do when you don't travel by freeway.
I don't resent anyone having a vacation. But seriously folks, these people in the White House are tone deaf when it comes to how the "common" people look at the serial vacations they take.
800,000 people cut from the DoD payroll, so that Slasher and Masher can party like it's 2009.
It isn't any of my bisiness where Obama sends his kids for their vacation as long as he is paying for it.
However I have to pay for the Government jet that flew them down there, and the secret service vehicles that drive them around.
We had to pay the agents anyway so that isn't a problem, but how many extra agents did it require. who pays their rooms and per diem? Oh!! That would be us.
Pretty nice, wish my kids could have gone , but unfortuntely I was just a working slob, not the Muslim in charge.
And the leftists bitched about Bush clearing brush from his HOME in Texas.
I hate them all. God forgive me.
Saskatchewan and Malaysia 0bummer are quietly vacationing at the astoundingly expensive Atlantis resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
It's a cultural thing.
An elected office is an entitlement to graft and living large on OPM.
Ok, what they are like 12 and 14.......and no parents!
The secret service are now babysitters?
Forgive my language. Trying to back off of that, but the anger bubbles up and I turn into a sailor.
So let me get this straight. Because some people who are now dead were rotten to other people who are now dead, the royal family feels entitled to live high off the hog at our expense.
If you're prepared for the economic collapse,
and you think they'll show up on your doorstep,
make sure you have plenty of laborious tasks lined up for them.
Politics aside, isn't one of these girls 12 years old?
The 'tweets' don't indicate that Michelle is around...I guess older sister and SS agents are supervising her?
I wouldn't send my 12 y/o daughter to a spring break party spot.
I'm sure they have to stay in the "towers" because that's the most easily protectable from a security aspect.
Once again the royal family leading by example. Why not vacation in the USA at a destination that no doubt needs the publicity and boost? Detroit, Michigan comes to mind. Screw the struggling US workers and keep vacationing and blowing millions outside the country.
These occupants of the White House, where they reside due to the counterfeiting and hiding of documents that prove the fool who is referred to as president is there illegally, are just low-life jerks.
They should be at the White Hut greeting school kids on the tours.
How much did that cost?
I know a 'plebeian' child who is waiting on money for chemotherapy...
Why, of course, honey! There's plenty of money in the stash!
Malaria Obama and her Sidwell School friends vacation in Mexico.
What's wrong with Camp David?
Let's not insult the kids, please.
That is not morally acceptable behavior.
Somehow I thought I read that Malia went to Mexico for spring break with Michelle, 12 friends from school and their families. Did she go to both Mexico AND the Bahamas?
The secret service are now babysitters?
Well, when the Clintons were in the White House Hillary made the Marines serve the hors d'oeuvres at official functions...
Arrow points to what's known as the "Michael Jackson Room".
$25,000 per night.
Any bets that's where they are staying?
Two of my daughters are the same age as the Obamas', and their grandmother plans to take them to Europe later this year.
... and stay at a big time resort
Only the 1%. My mother, an experienced tourist of Europe, will choose a reasonably-priced hotel near public transportation.
It's bad enough that the Obama females are vacationing on our dime, but once again, they've brought a bunch of freeloading friends along with them.

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Progress Webmaster
In today's world, understanding all the facets of modern technology can be extremely difficult. The technical jargon and many acronyms can make technology seem awfully cryptic.
To many, computer literacy is one of the biggest technological hurdles they will face. As computers become more and more common, understanding them has become very critical. Learning computer basics, however, doesn't always have to be so difficult.
One of the most important facets of computer literacy is the use of hot keys (keyboard commands). Hot keys are simply key combinations that invoke particular operations when pressed, and are often denoted with a plus sign (+). Most hot keys are used in conjunction with a modifier key, like Control (CTRL), Shift (SHIFT) or Alternate (ALT). For example, the hot key CTRL+S means to press the control and S keys simultaneously.
Most program features can be accessed graphically (via mouse) or with a hot key (via keyboard). Although many feel intimidated by the keyboard, pressing a hot key is often faster and more efficient than locating the item graphically with the mouse. Being proficient with the mouse and keyboard will help you complete work easier and do it in less time.
Finding what hot keys a program uses is fairly simple. Most hot keys are displayed to the right of each command under the appropriate drop-down text menu (menus located toward the top of the program, like "file," "edit," "window" and so on).
Some programs list all of their hot keys in the program's help guide. In many programs, pressing F1 will open the help system. Help can also be found under the textual "help" menu (toward the top of the screen).
Not all programs use the same hot keys to invoke the same operations. There are a number of hot keys, however, that are extremely common among most PC programs. Here are a few:
CTRL+N (New) - Creates a new, blank document. Pressing CTRL+N is the same as selecting "new" from the "file" menu.
CTRL+O (Open) - Open a document for viewing or editing. Pressing CTRL+O is the same as selecting "open" from the "file" menu, and will invoke a box that allows you to select the file you want to open.
CTRL+S (Save) - Saves any unsaved changes made to the currently open document (the document you're working on). If the file hasn't been given a name yet (a new untitled document, for example), you will be asked to give the document a name (and select a location for the saved file) before it can be properly saved.
CTRL+SHIFT+S or F12 (Save As) - Saves the document under a different name, with the original document left as-is, since the last save.
CTRL+W or CTRL+F4 (Close) - Close the document you currently have open. Most programs, after you have opted to close the document, will prompt you to save any unsaved information before the document is closed.
CTRL+P (Print) - Print the document. Pressing CTRL+P is the same as selecting the "print" command from the "file" menu, and will invoke a box with printing options (like printer & paper selection, size, color and page orientation). Some programs (especially Internet browsers) will also have a print icon on the program's main tool bar. Often, clicking on that icon performs a "direct print" that bypasses the print options box all together.
CTRL+Z (Undo) - Undoes last action made on the open document. For example, imagine you accidentally "erased" some text you just typed. Pressing CTRL+Z immediately thereafter will "undo" the action, restoring the lost text.
CTRL+Y or SHIFT+ CTRL+Z (Redo) - Undoes an "undo" command. For example, imagine you bolded some text, decided against it and "undone" the bold (CTRL+Z), but then decided you did want it bold. Pressing CTRL+Y or SHIFT+CTRL+Z immediately after the undo makes the text bold again.
CTRL+C (Copy to clipboard) - Copies the hilighted selection to the clipboard.
CTRL+X (Cut to clipboard) - Cuts the highlighted or selected text.
CTRL+V (Paste from clipboard) - Pastes the selection previously copied to the clipboard.
CTRL+Q or ALT+F4 (Close program) - Closes the application and any open documents. Most programs ask you if unsaved information should be saved before the program actually closes.
CTRL+B (Bold) - In many word processing programs, like Microsoft Word �, OpenOffice.org Writer or Corel WordPerfect �, pressing CTRL+B will make the selected or hilighted text bold.
CTRL+I (Italic) - In most word processing programs, pressing CTRL+I will make the hilighted text italic.
CTRL+U (Underline) - In most word processing programs, pressing CTRL+U will make the hilighted text underlined.
F7 (Spell check) - Invokes the built-in spell checker. Not all programs are equipped with spell checkers, however.
Each program has its own set of hot keys. Learning the hot keys for frequently used programs will help you work more efficiently, and make the program a little more comfortable to use.
