New York, January 31, 2011--Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon must press the United Nations to address the string of uninvestigated and unprosecuted attacks on journalists and media houses under the government of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. CPJ responded after an early Monday morning arson attack on the offices of the independent Sri Lankan website Lanka eNews in the Malabe suburb of the capital, Colombo. Staff members told CPJ that everything in the offices had been destroyed, although no one was injured in the 2 a.m. raid. The outspoken website posted pictures of the destruction.
"The litany of arson attacks, assaults, disappearances, and outright killing of journalists that have gone unaddressed under President Mahinda Rajapaksa make it necessary for the international community to act," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator. "The responsibility falls to the United Nations to lead an effective international response to a government that has failed to protect journalists, and is itself a viable suspect in many of these acts."
So far, the U.N. has failed to respond to the wife of Prageeth Eknelygoda, a columnist and cartoonist for Lanka eNews who disappeared on January 24, 2010. His family and colleagues say they suspect he has been kidnapped. Sandhya Eknelygoda wrote to Ban earlier this month, saying that the government--which she suspected was complicit in her husband's disappearance--has showed no interest in investigating the case. Lanka eNews founder Sandaruwan Senadheera went into exile in March 2010 after repeated death threats.
Lanka eNews has long been critical of the government and had sided with a former presidential candidate, Sareth Fonseka, who is now in jail. In recent days, the site had reported critically on Rajapkasa and his brother Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, secretary of defense, including reports of the president's quiet visit to the U.S., which the website said was for medical purposes. In another report, the website questioned whether the defense secretary had perjured himself while giving evidence in a case against Fonseka.
As CPJ noted in a blog entry on January 19:
The string of brutalities under protest in
None of the cases have been solved, and no one has been brought to justice.
Attacks on media have continued since the spasm of January 2009 violence, even though the government ended its war with Tamil separatists in May 2009. In July 2010, two employees were injured in an arson attack on the offices of the Voice of Asia Network in the heart of Colombo that destroyed the group's studios. Men armed with assault rifles and gasoline bombs carried out the attack in the middle of the afternoon. Siyatha TV mainly aired entertainment programming, but the network's owners had been linked to Fonseka.

we are almost there.. Two more days until weekend is here! Hope you are all ok:)
I am really happy and super excited for today's post! For my surprise I found that not one, but two lovely ladies nominated me for the Liebster award:) To begin with a big thanks to Michelle from The Stylish MiMi and Mak from Beautiful Freaks for nominating my blog with this award! If you haven't checked their blogs, I strongly recommend you do so, NOW!!:) The Liebster Award means a lot to me as I started my blog only a few months ago and it's great to know that people like my blog and actually think that it deserve to be nominated!
For those who don't already know what a Liebster Award is (I know you all do, but let me describe it in few words just in case..), it's an award given to new bloggers with less than 200 followers from other bloggers. It's an opportunity given to new bloggers, to promote their blogs, let people know more about them and also interact with other bloggers as they have to nominate 11 bloggers with the Liebster Award. Liebster in German means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome (I didn't know that one!).
Each nominee should follow 5 rules:
- Share 11 things about yourself
- Answer the 11 questions that your tagger gave you
- Choose 11 fellow blogs to nominate. The nominees must have less than 200 Google Friend Connect Followers and be told via comment on their blog
- Think of 11 questions to ask the bloggers that were nominated
- Thank the person that nominated you and link back their blog
11 things about myself:
- I am a last (last) minute person! I can never do anything till the last minute
- I love playing games, especially Call of Duty (I know it sounds a bit weird, but I really do:) )
- I love buying things (everyone does!) but sometimes I just want so bad to buy something that I end up with something that I never wear or use
- I am a very good listener, I love helping people, giving advise but I am terrible when it comes to accepting advices
- My friends and family always make fun of my height. I'm one of the shortest people I know
- I am proud to be able to talk and write in three different languages, Greek, Czech and English
- I have an obsession with food, chocolate, cakes, in other words everything! (So glad that I can't easily gain weight)
- I love spending my time experimenting with food (recipes), nails, clothes, arts etc.
- I can't start my day without coffee! Tried once but I had to leave uni immediately and get a cup of coffee first
- I love collecting things ("memories" or whatever catches my eyes). I have tones of things and photos and each one of them has its own story! But this makes it very difficult for me to then clean the house and get rid of all that extra stuff! So I ended up being an absolutely messy person!!
- The last two years (after being with my boyfriend) I became a geek and a very competitive person. I now know staff that two years ago seemed to me Science Fiction and as he is the most competitive person I know, I become a one as well. I never lose !:)
- What made you blog?
I love writing and being able to express myself through it was one of the main reasons. It's really great not only sharing your own opinions, ideas, advices but also seeing that other people like them!
- Who is your fashion icon?
I love (love, love) Leighton Meester, she has so unique and glamorous style! I love it!!
- If you could eat three things for the rest of your life what would they be?
Emm that's a difficult one for me.. Cheesecake, Sweet&Sour chicken and noodles:)
- If you could only pick 5 artists to listen to for the rest of your life, who would they be?
Adele (Adele Laurie Blue Adkins), Lana Del Reay (Elizabeth Woolridge Grant), Rihanna (Robyn Rihanna Fenty), Ne-Yo (Shaffer Chimere Smith) and Bruno Mars (Peter Gene Hernandez).
- What do you hope to get out of blogging?
I would really love to see people be inspired by me and being able to get to know other people with the same interest:)
- What's your favourite show and why?Ohh there are so many that I like but my favourite one would probably be ... The Big Bang Theory, I really can't miss a single episode. I love all of the actors and actresses, especially Jim Parsons, he is amazing!
- If you could pick any other name besides your own what would it be?
It would probably be Diana:)
- Describe your ideal perfect day.
It would be at the beach with ONLY my loved ones. I just love relaxing and listening to the sea, but in my country they are so crowded that you can barely hear that.
- What do you want to be when you grow up?
My answer will be completely different rather that a year before! I always wanted to become a lawyer or a psychologist.. BUT I ended up studying Business with Law which surprisingly really interests me (it should be noted that I hate maths, that's why it came as a surprise to me!)
- What is your favourite fashion trend?
I love slogan tops, tshirts, sweaters:) but I also love the monochrome trend! These are my two favourites right now!
- What fashion trend do you wish never happened?
I am trying to think of something but there isn't actually something in particular. There are many fashion trends that I wouldn't probably follow but I find them great on other people. So if I have to say something that I wouldn't wear (at least for now) but think that it suits some people perfectly is the bootcut trousers.
- What is your favorite color and why?My favourite colour is white! I love all colours in general but white is perfect for everything. It can be perfectly combined with all colours and is perfect for Sunny days
- If you were stranded on an island and could bring 3 things, what would they be?
My contact lenses or glasses (I don't want to but I have to), backpack full of food and water and the last one.. emm.. a pair of flats (I hate walking without shoes, may sound weird but it's true!)
- What's your favourite song currently?
I love listening to Adele's song Skyfall. I don't mind listening it over and over again,
- Why do you love blogging?
As I mentioned above I love writing, and this is the main reason. Getting to know people, styles, is really great!
- Are you a night owl?Yes, I definitely am! I can't go to bed before 2am.
- What is your favourite movie that has come out in the past year?Side Effects. One of the most interesting movies I have seen. loved it!
- List 5 words that describe you - Short
- Shy
- Impatient
- Sensitive
- Clumsy
- What's your least favourite fashion trend right now?I answered that before. I don't really have something that I wouldn't like in general.
- Do you look at the glass half full or half empty?It depends. There are times where I look at it as half full but there are times where I can't look at it like that anymore. All of us have some times when we "break down" and that's when my glass is half empty.
- How many times have you said "I love you" today?I have said it many times:) I love telling these three words to those who I love. These days I am trying not to fight with people that are special to me (especially my boyfriend) so instead of complaining all the time, I let a smile and an "I love you" make everything ok:)
- What's your favourite book?I have read some Greek novels over the past years but to be honest since I have started university I haven't read a single book. So my answer to that will be probably a Greek book ( "Ελένη η πόρνη" )
- How you love spending your time?
- Two clothing items that you can't live without?

Review Roundup: OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD at the St. James Theatre
Timberlake Wertenbaker's Olivier Award winning play Our Country's Good, has announced 2 extra weeks at the St. James Theatre. Max Stafford-Clark's 25th anniversary opened 4 February and will now run until Saturday 23 March.
Australia 1789: An ambitious young lieutenant, RalpH Clark, is set the task of directing a cast of dispirited convicts in the Restoration comedy 'The Recruiting Officer'. But with growing suspicion from his fellow officers, just two copies of the script, his leading lady about to be hanged, and an uncontrollable passion for the convict Mary Brenham, Ralph's - and Australia's - first theatre production is in trouble from the start.
The cast includes Dominic Thorburn, Laura Dos Santos and Lisa Kerr.
Let's see what the critics had to say:
Michael Coveney of whatsonstage.com writes: Our Country's Good is going to carry renewed impact at a time of cuts and the economic - some say politically motivated - threat to arts activities in schools and indeed prisons; the glorious second act of this play is a metaphorical hymn to the act of making theatre in a community that has learned to define itself in the process.
Paul Taylor of the Independent says: Wertenbaker's play is unashamedly idealistic but it's not sentimental. As Dominic Thornburn's performance finely traces, the director, Second Lieutenant RalpH Clark, starts off as a prim, guarded type, primarily motivated by ambition, and only gradually thaws as falls in love and as the project struggles to fight the institutional injustice that lands several of the cast in chains and one of the leading ladies under threat of hanging.
Michael Billington of the Guardian states: Max Stafford-Clark, revisiting the play, offers infinitely more than a carbon copy of his original Royal Court production. John Hollingworth is outstanding as both the colony's progressive governor and a word-drunk snuff-stealer; Kathryn O'Reilly is hugely impressive as the flinty thief who ultimately saves her neck by discovering her voice; and Dominic Thorburn lends the second lieutenant, who supervises the Farquhar play, the right priggish stiffness. A quarter of a century on, it's a play that still leaves its audience, like its subjects, transported.
Charles Spencer of the Daily Telegraph writes: Tim Shortall's evocative design of wooden spars and canvas sails suggest the ship on which the convicts first made their terrible journey to the other side of the world, and the production starts as it means to go on with one of the prisoners receiving a hundred ferocious lashes before being dumped back in the hold.
Quentin Letts of mailonline writes: Laura Dos Santos is sweet, if perhaps a little dull, as Mary Brenham, a petty thief who is cast as the colony's first lead actress. Dominic Thorburn is the young officer who directs the show and falls for Mary. If these two have a surfeit of sickly innocence, Kathryn O'Reilly and Helen Bradbury serve up some redeeming grit with their two rough-house women. Lisa Kerr gives us one of her gamine turns as a girl called Duckling. Amid much doubling-up of the good cast, John Hollingworth and Ian Redford catch the eye.
Naima Khan of Spoonfed says: On the surface, Our Country's Good looks like a 25 year-old play about the ways theatre can improve lives. But set in the first penal colony in Australia, it looks at the a lot of bulky themes that steer this show just far enough away from the self-indulgent meta-theatre it could be. With the aboriginal population starving at the fences, a delegate of British Royal Marines newly arrived in the first penal colony of Australia attempt to civilise the convicts in their care by staging a production of The Recruiting Officer.
Sarah Hemming of FT.com writes: Every now and then a new play comes along that becomes an instant modern classic. Timberlake Wertenbaker's Our Country's Good is one such drama. First staged 25 years ago, this rich, warm play, with its impassioned advocacy of the humanising power of art, became an immediate hit. Now Max Stafford-Clark, who staged the original, has mounted a fleet-footed revival, and the play has lost none of its punch. His production for Out of Joint comes as theatres and companies struggle with funding cuts: Stafford-Clark is a master in the art of witty yet serious provocation.
Aleks Sierz of the artsdesk.com writes: Stafford-Clark's sterling production is warm, appealing and light on its feet. Tim Shortall's set - with its wooden platform, painted backcloths and barred doors - evokes the 18th-century world, and the merciless sun and dusty atmosphere provide the Australian context. The ensemble cast - featuring Helen Bradbury as Dabby, Kathryn O'Reilly as Liz and Laura Dos Santos as Mary (pictured above right) - are all good and double up as at least two characters each, regardless of gender.

BWW Reviews: The Hollow Family - AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY
At the very beginning of the first act of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning black comedy "August: Osage County," Beverly Weston (Carl Schurr) quotes T.S. Eliot's poem, "The Hollow Men," noting "Life is long...very long."
"August" is long-more than three hours, plus two intermissions. Beverly's opening monologue is long, the Weston family's list of assorted demons, downfalls and debacles is long. But the journey playwright Tracy Letts, director Vincent Lancisi, and the talented Everyman cast takes the audience is so rich, so teeming with shocks, smiles, sadness and surprises, one loses all sense of time...
...which seems to be the goal of family matriarch, Violet Weston (Linda Thorson) who has taped the windows so that no light may enter, leaving the home's occupants with "no sense of night or day."
It's August in Osage County, Oklahoma, 60 miles northwest of Tulsa, and it's hot; Violet refuses to turn on the air conditioning. But in this house, it appears life reached its zenith in 1964 with the publication of a famed tome of Beverly's poetry called Meadowlark. Beverly would not achieve such fame again. He would drink, Violet would become addicted to an entire pharmacy of pills which she keeps squirreled away throughout the house and other places too embarrassing to mention. Time does not pass here; it decays.
As one might expect, there's an incident which kicks the play into action; Beverly disappears, shortly after hiring housekeeper Johnna (Veronica Del Cerro), a young Cherokee woman with an old and stoic soul. Members of the Weston family return home: daughters Barbara (Deborah Hazlett), Ivy (Beth Hylton), and Karen (Maia Desanti), Barbara's husband, Bill (Rob Leo Roy) and their daughter, Jean (Heather Lynn Peacock), Ivy's cousin Little Charles (Clinton Brandhagen), Beverly's sister, Mattie Fae (Nancy Robinette) and her husband, Charlie (Wil Love).
In the course of the next three hours, this homage to Greek tragedy and Shakespearean comedy with a dash of O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night," all manner of secrets are shared, some mistaken identity, infidelity, irony, comedy (some clever lines about America's "Greatest Generation," what it means to "eat fear" and Elizabeth Taylor) and enough family angst, heart-felt revelations, and hands-around-the-neck rage to entertain even the most discriminating audience.
"August: Osage County" is the first play to grace the stage of the Everyman Theatre's new home (what was once the old Town movie palace) on Fayette Street--with its diminutive stage and low ceiling, the Everyman's former North Charles Street locale could never have accommodated the enormous set, basically a CT scanner slice of a 3-story home, giving the audience views of bedrooms, hallways, dining room, living room and more.
Furthermore, "August" features a large cast, 13 actors, so an opportunity for many of the Everyman's resident company members like Carl Schurr, Deborah Hazlett, Wil Love, Bruce Nelson and Clinton Brandhagen, to shine.
And shine they do, in particular, Linda Thorson as Violet, who moves convincingly from razor sharp battle axe to trembling lost child with an ease few actors could emulate. Ms. Hazlett's performance as a wife losing her husband to a younger woman, her mother to pill-fueled insanity, her father to his own inner demons, and her sisters to life forces beyond her control, is amazing--she is funny, crazed, sad, lonely, and communicates more through the turn of her head or the shaking of her leg than most actors can with three pages of dialogue.
Everyone hits their mark; all are well cast, right down to the Ron Heneghan in the part of the town sheriff, Deon Gibeau. Handling the smallest role in the piece, Heneghan makes the most of it in his interplay with his former high school prom date, Barbara, as a somewhat shy man taken aback by the emotional tides that are sweeping around him.
In his tragedy, "MacBeth," Shakespeare speaks of life as teeming with "sound and fury, signifying nothing." There is much "sound and fury" in this play, as each character spews forth long-borne resentments and long-held secrets, emptying themselves of their inner burdens all over the stage. But the result is not cathartic; one does not sense, for example, that Mattie Fae (Nancy Robinette)'s confession does her soul any good--her time has passed, and she is now just "old, ugly Aunt Mattie." It is the same for all--in releasing their pain, they find they have nothing left. Like T.S. Eliot's poem, they are "hollow."
"August: Osage County" continues its run at the new Everyman, 315 W. Fayette Street, now through Feb. 17th. For tickets, visit www.everymantheatre.org or call 410-752-2208.

The ceremonies are presented by Tony Award Productions, which is a joint venture of The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, which founded the Tonys.
The Tonys were founded in memorial to Antoinette ("Tony") Perry, the American Theatre Wing's World War II chairperson. The winners are selected by approximately 830 eligible voters. These include voting members of The Broadway League and the board of directors and designated members of the advisory committee of the American Theatre Wing, along with members of the governing boards of Actors' Equity Association, the Dramatists Guild, the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society (SDC), United Scenic Artists and the Association of Theatrical Press Agents and Managers.

Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss of White Cherry Entertainment will return as executive producers. Also, Weiss will serve as director for the 14th consecutive year.Revised Tuesday, 09 May, 2017

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: The Wizards released some hostages.
Nick Young joined Fox Sports Radio with Petros and Money to talk about how he found out about getting traded and how crazy things have been since the deal was completed, what was going on in Washington this season, what his role will be in Los Angeles, how many shots he expects to get per night, and what he knows about the current Clippers.
How he found out about getting traded and how crazy things have been since the deal:
"It's been crazy. I actually found out from my parents first I think. My mom called me screaming and said it went through and everything. It's been wild you know?"
What was going on in Washington this season:
"I don't know. We had a curse on us for some reason. We were on Not Top 10 every night. Every night it was something and we couldn't break the habit. They drafted me and I'm going to miss those guys on the team."
What his role will be in Los Angeles and how many shots he expects to get:
"(Laughing) There's not enough balls out there but I'm just going to come in and play my game, try to make the team better the best I can, play defense, and I'm a shooter, I'm a scorer so I'm going to do my thing."
Whether he was a Lakers fan or Clippers fan:
"I was both. (Host: Nobody is both.) I was a big Ron Harper fan growing up."
On his new teammates:
"I played with Caron (Butler), Randy Foye, and we play together a lot during the summer so I know Chauncey and a couple of those guys here. I've been in the league for five years now so I've run into most of them."

We started this project way back on the first of October...
by getting the coffee filters wet and then painted on them with these bingo markers.
The girls loved to see the way the colors ran together - they made such pretty designs.
Even the paper towel underneath was made beautiful.
I love the way the light shined through.
We tried to do a few without wetting the coffee filter first - they had more distinct dots,
but we preferred for the colors to run together.
Once they were dried we had quite a stack of colorful coffee filters - they eventually got put away in a drawer. Isn't that sad? I just didn't know what we could do with them - I wanted to do something fall related, but couldn't figure out what.
Eventually - a month and a half later we took them out once again. The girls got some scissors and began cutting them up into triangular shapes.
In fact, that's all Mina wanted to do - cut, cut, cut. She LOVES her scissors.
Once we glued and taped them to some paper tubes we had some little fall trees. I like them all - Some trees are at a different stage than others it seems.
This is our first coffee filter craft ever.
What have you made with these?

I hadn't seen that commercial. Totally left me misty eyed as well. I think we all should live in NYC at some point. It's an excellent exercise in deciding what things you really need. It teaches you think creatively and manage space. You learn to walk more, you get out on the weekend even if two feet of snow have just fallen...
And I'm all about books at the key decorating pieces.
Happy Monday, lovely.

Also, I think you just coined the term 'sunshine on your fingers' and I am grateful to you for this because it certainly made my days.

- krista said...
i'm a little disappointed that your neighbors don't call him 'uncle sugar.'
although they would probably quite enjoy seeing a bunch of women who reside in blogland, over at your house enjoying vertical living and referring to your husband as 'uncle sugar.'
on second thought, they might turn him in.

he's still uncle sugar to me.

Hi All, I am Sean McGilvray the newest member of Wikia's Community Support Team. I was most recently a member of the legal department for the video game publisher NAMCO, where I spent a great deal of time handling intellectual property infringements. I have a legal background, and am excited to learn more about Wikia's CC-BY-SA license and how communities here work together to create open and free content.
I am also a huge gamer and am already a fan of the gaming room at Wikia's HQ. You may find me hanging out on role playing game wikis like Skyrim, Fallout, and Mass Effect or exploring the far reaches of space in EVE Online. I also play shooters like Halo and CoD, despite the fact I'm terrible at them. :) When not at the controller, I spend my time writing either at my blog Semantic Drift or working on on my horrible (but improving) epic fantasy novel, brewing beer, traveling, reading (books and comics), or watching TV shows like Justified, Game of Thrones, and South Park.
I have some experience already editing wikis, and am deep in training with the rest of the Community Support Team. If you have any tips or advice, I would love to hear it in the comments below. Thanks in advance!

by Louise E. Wright
An intriguing mix of abstract and figurative pieces awaits visitors to the Dwight V. Dowley Art Gallery on the campus of Chestnut Hill College. Simply entitled "Sculpture," the retrospective showcases the work of award-winning 72-year-old artist Denise Love McDaid. Little did she think when she graduated in 1962 that she would return to her alma mater 50 years later to exhibit her creations.
One obstacle to imagining what the future would hold was that McDaid did not study sculpture at Chestnut Hill College. Instead, she majored in fashion design, a field for which she demonstrated both interest and talent at an early age.
Now a resident of Jenkintown, McDaid grew up at Vaux and Sunnyside Streets in East Falls and attended St. Bridget School. She remembers friends telling her, "We don't want to play paper dolls with you because you just want to design clothes for the dolls." Her fashion sense extended to her own wardrobe, and she pestered her mother for more and more outfits.
Rather than give in to these demands, McDaid's mother decided her daughter should learn to sew. Only nine years old, McDaid traveled alone by bus to Germantown, where she took lessons from a professional dressmaker. The investment paid off; McDaid created fashions not just for herself but also for her mother.
A nurse who often did private duty for Chestnut Hill painter Arthur B. Carles, McDaid's mother also played a part in developing her daughter's love of color. McDaid describes Carles' work as "abstract but not totally so" and "all about color." She recalls sitting and staring at the picture Carles presented to her mother, captivated by its vibrancy. "What is painting if not about color?" she asks, summing up his attitude.
Additionally, McDaid's mother was the driving force behind her daughter's formal schooling. She not only saw to it that McDaid attended Cecilian Academy but also insisted she further her education. McDaid's father believed "girls don't need college." Her mother knew better.
Love of color, clothing and dressing up all influenced McDaid's choice of major. Most of her classmates who studied fashion design did so in order to go into retail. Not so McDaid. "Back then," she points out, "design wasn't the glamorous field it is today. We didn't even know who the designers were unless they were really big names." Warned she'd be working in a "dirty factory," McDaid wasn't put off. "I had no aspirations of becoming someone famous," she emphasizes. "I just wanted to put things together and create."
She describes her college experience as "an extension of high school." Not only were there "lots of nuns," but because she didn't board, she took public transportation and tried to study at home. There were, however, more activities. She participated in the drama club, working on costumes and designing "stage props." She also took part in the department's annual fashion show. "Everyone was running around at the last minute trying to get ready," she laughs, "sort of like Project Runway, only we were the models."
In the course of a 25-year career, McDaid worked for Philadelphia-area manufacturers, designing dresses for children and nightgowns for "plus size" women. She also ventured into business for herself, selling one-of-a-kind fashions to Center City boutiques. Creating her own line of sleepwear, however, proved less successful. "I tried to do too much myself," she admits. "I'm not good at delegating. I wanted to see if I could do it, and once I saw I could, I lost interest."
While working as a designer, McDaid explored other arts. As early as 1970, she signed up for pottery classes at the Germantown YWCA. They provided her first opportunity to work with clay, the chosen medium for her sculpture. "I liked the sensuality, the feel of it," she explains. "I love working with my hands and thinking that I could create something that was mine, and no one else would ever do anything like it."
It was not until the mid-'90s, however, that McDaid turned to sculpture. She credits friend and fellow artist Maxine Schwartz with inspiring her to do so. "I saw Maxine's work," she says, "and that was it. I was hooked." McDaid began taking classes with Jim Lloyd at the Cheltenham Center for the Arts and continued to do so for 12 years. Now based in California, Lloyd has created several works on display in the Philadelphia area, among them "Heart Pod" at the Morris Arboretum.
In addition to working with Lloyd, McDaid has studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and Fleisher Art Memorial. She prefers to work alone but still takes classes from time to time. Although McDaid works in clay, many of her pieces seem cast in bronze or carved from stone. She attributes this effect to the patina she achieves and notes: "I've received good feedback on my finishes."
The sculptor looks to nature, to things organic for inspiration. Many of her abstracts originated in something as simple as a seed pod, a vegetable or even a bone. "I save chicken and turkey bones," she reveals. "In my freezer, I have little bags. Sometimes a bone has an interesting end."
That the works go beyond the literal or representational evidences Lloyd's influence. "Jim encouraged us to do abstract work, to look at nature and then push it further, to take it out of the realm of copying and make it our own," she explains. "Pepper" is a prime example of this approach; McDaid transformed the common vegetable into something sensual and rounded.
Although "The Three Graces," which is from the same time period, resembles "Pepper," the similarity is accidental. In this instance, McDaid found inspiration not in a vegetable but in a flower pod. The name recalls the three dancing sisters of Greek mythology, a frequent subject of artistic endeavors, among them paintings by Botticelli and Rubens. McDaid, however, did not have the trio in mind while working on the piece and named it, as she often does, only after it was finished.
The retrospective also includes representational works, primarily nudes and heads. Several of the latter are caricatures, as their titles reveal: "The Headmistress," "The Author" and "The Maestro."
Organized by Margie Thompson, SSJ, Associate Professor of the Art Studio and director of the gallery at CHC, "Sculpture" fittingly commemorates the 50th anniversary of McDaid's graduation. The retrospective not only recalls her fashion design past but also testifies to her continued success as a sculptor.
Free and open to the public, "Sculpture" remains on display through Oct. 2. The Dwight V. Dowley Art Gallery is located on the 5th floor of St. Joseph Hall. For more information, contact Margie Thompson, SSJ at 215-248-7042 or email@example.com, or visit http://deniselovemcdaid.com/

I started a new blog. The focus will be on comps and storyboards - mostly as they are related to advertising - though I am open to including other aspects of concept art like film, animation and video games. The first posts are picked up from last week's series, but I have added one more, which features several ads from storyboard studios that advertised their services in the 1985 edition of the Creative Black Book.
I hope to make this new blog more of a community effort, so please feel free to contact me if you'd like to guest author a post (or posts). Show off your work, share examples of old storyboards and comps you hung onto by past greats, tell us about that nightmare job you sweated through.. whatever!
Take a peek at the new Storyboard Central

This is the TED RADIO HOUR from NPR. I'm Alison Stewart. On today's show, we're hearing some big ideas emerging from Africa, from TED speakers all across the continent.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: OK, are you there?
OFEIBEA QUIST-ARCTON: Yes. Do you need a bit for level, and so on?
STEWART: We also reached out to someone whose voice is a familiar one to NPR listeners.
QUIST-ARCTON: Greetings. I'm Ofeibea Quist-Arcton. At the moment, the Africa correspondent of NPR, based in Dakar, Senegal. But rarely here, because I travel all over the continent.
QUIST-ARCTON: Ofeibea Quist-Arcton, NPR News...
STEWART: Ofeibea began reporting from Africa nearly 30 years ago. She is often the first person on the ground when news breaks. But she also seeks out the continent's more nuanced human stories.
QUIST-ARCTON: The debate about whether it's only bad news from Africa or good news stories, or whatever - yes, it's an important debate. But I think the most important thing is to tell a good tale. And that's what will make the listener sit up, prick up their ears and listen. I don't think it matters whether you're in Mogadishu or Missouri. They're going to want to listen.
STEWART: Ofeibea has covered conflicts in Zaire, Mali, the Ivory Coast...
QUIST-ARCTON: Gbagbo's camp defies international calls for him to concede defeat, and he's sworn in at the presidential palace...
STEWART: But she's also known for finding unexpected moments along the way - like at a maternity ward in newly independent South Sudan.
QUIST-ARCTON: This little boy you hear crying had only just been born, but the number one baby has already got his name.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #1: Independence.
QUIST-ARCTON: Independence was immediately nicknamed "Indie" on the ward. His mother, 24-year-old...
QUIST-ARCTON: Being an African - I come from Ghana - I don't get stuck on, how is Africa being reported? Yes, we can't get away from the fact that we report the conflicts and the poverty, and so on. That is part of what happens in Africa. But I don't consider myself a war reporter. I want to report everything, and I think that is what I hold sacred; to make sure that I'm telling as many stories as possible.
Like taking a barge - well, I say a barge, but it was two bits of giant metal, sort of clipped together and towed by a tugboat, along the Congo River; to see what life is like for ordinary Congolese, who use this life source that runs through their country as their Highway 66.
QUIST-ARCTON: The Congo River is tantalizing.
QUIST-ARCTON: Somebody selling shoes... (Foreign language spoken)...and do you do good business here?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: (Foreign language spoken).
QUIST-ARCTON: She says she makes a lot of money here. And I think with that, she's dismissing me so that she can get on with business. Merci.
QUIST-ARCTON: For me, what's important is to make sure that the aspects of Africa, such as the culture, the music, the creativity, the innovation, the inventiveness and invention - all that gets reported alongside.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: Distinguished guest, fellow students, ladies and gentlemen...
QUIST-ARCTON: I heard about Ashesi College University - actually, quite a long time ago. But the story was proposed to me by somebody from NPR who said, look, we're doing a series about immigrants who lived in America and have returned home; done good, and brought progress to their country. So that's how I actually met Patrick Awuah.
PATRICK AWUAH: The moment that students walked in the gates at Ashesi, you know, my emotions were wild.
QUIST-ARCTON: Who used to work for Microsoft, and then decided to take his family home to Ghana; to set up what he wanted to be an Ivy League university in Ghana. But it was the students that really struck me.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #3: You're like raw gold. The school is like a furnace. The heat from all the courses and everything, from the professors, from the project that you undertake, you come out as a refined substance. You come out glittering. You move with such quality.
QUIST-ARCTON: The fact that these young people have such a belief in themselves and their continent, and feel that they are the ones who are going to propel Africa forward - I mean, it was so uplifting.
STEWART: That's NPR correspondent Ofeibea Quist-Arcton. She covered Ashesi University's first graduation, in 2006. A year later, Ashesi's founder, Patrick Awuah, spoke at TED.
AWUAH: The question of transformation in Africa really is a question of leadership. Africa can only be transformed by enlightened leaders. And it is my contention that the manner in which we educate our leaders is fundamental to progress on this continent.
STEWART: Patrick Awuah says he's committed to educating young people in critical thinking and ethical service, because he believes these values are essential for the nation building that lies ahead in Africa. We'll talk to Patrick in a few minutes. First, let's hear more of his TED Talk.
AWUAH: ...this event, I leave Ghana on a scholarship to go to Swarthmore College for my education. It was a breath of fresh air. You know, the faculty there didn't want us to memorize information and repeat back to them, as I was used to back in Ghana. They wanted us to think critically. They wanted us to be analytical. They wanted us to be concerned about social issues.
In my economics classes, I got high marks for my understanding of basic economics. But I learned something more profound than that, which is that the leaders, the managers of Ghana's economy, were making breathtakingly bad decisions that had brought our economy to the brink of collapse. Leadership matters. It matters a great deal.
But I didn't really fully understand what had happened to me at Swarthmore. I had - I had an inkling, but I didn't fully realize it until I went out into the workplace and I - I went to work at Microsoft Corporation. And I was part of this team, this thinking, learning team, whose job it was to design and implement new software that created value in the world.
And it was - it was brilliant, to be part of this team. It was brilliant. And I realized just what had happened to me at Swarthmore, this transformation. The ability to confront problems, complex problems, and to design solutions for those problems, the ability to create, is the most empowering thing that can happen to an individual. And I was part of that.
Now, while I was at - at Microsoft, the annual revenues of that company grew larger than the GDP of the Republic of Ghana and, by the way, the gap has widened since I left. Now, I've already spoken about one of the reasons why this has occurred. I mean, there's the people there who are so hard working, persistent, creative, empowered.
But there are also some external factors: free markets, the rule of law, infrastructure. These things were provided by institutions run by the people that I call leaders. And those leaders did not emerge spontaneously. Somebody trained them to do the work that they do.
Now, while I was at Microsoft, this funny thing happened. I became a parent and, for the first time, Africa mattered more to me than ever before.
STEWART: Patrick Awuah, welcome to the TED RADIO HOUR.
AWUAH: Thank you, it's my pleasure to be here.
STEWART: Explain to our audience how parenthood played into your decision to return back to Ghana.
AWUAH: Well, all of a sudden I was a parent of an African child. And, more importantly, I was now a member of a generation that owed a responsibility to a future generation. And that's what the birth of my son did for me. It just made me realize that I owed a responsibility to an entire generation that was going to come after me and - and their children as well.
And so that got me to really think more deeply about what was going on in Africa and what I ought to be doing to make the world a better place for this future generation.
STEWART: With a professional background that isn't in education, why did you think starting a liberal arts college would help improve things in Ghana?
AWUAH: The thing about the liberal arts is that it teaches people to think very broadly. It - it teaches people to see things from different perspectives. It teaches critical thinking and problem-solving. And it gives students sort of a philosophical perspective about their role in society.
There's this - this strong teaching of - about ethics and responsibility that I felt are extremely important regardless of, you know, the technical skill that somebody is acquiring in college. And I felt that this was missing in education in Africa. And I felt that this was the root of a lot of the problems that we have in terms of the leadership crisis that we have on the continent.
AWUAH: I asked the question, well, what is it about Ghana that produces leaders that are unethical or unable to solve problems? So I went to look at what was happening in our education system and it's the same: learning by rote from primary school through graduation school. Very little emphasis on ethics. And the average - you know, the typical graduate from a university in Ghana has a stronger sense of entitlement than their sense of responsibility. This is wrong.
So I decided to engage this particular problem, because it seems to me that every society - every society must be very intentional about how it trains its leaders. And Ghana was not paying enough attention and - and this is true across sub-Saharan Africa, actually.
So this is what I'm doing. I'm trying to bring the experience that I had at Swarthmore to Africa. I wish there was a liberal arts college in every African country. I think it would make a huge difference. And what Ashesi University is trying to do is to train a new generation of ethical, entrepreneurial leaders.
We're trying to train leaders of exceptional integrity who have the ability to confront the complex problems, to ask the right questions, and come up with workable solutions.
STEWART: On the home page of your website for your school, the first thing you see is, "Ethical leadership. Innovative thinking. A new Africa." That's the banner. Explain to me why these three ideals are the first thing a potential student will see if they're searching for information about your school on the web page.
AWUAH: Ethical leadership has to do with integrity. It has to do with compassion. It has to do with empathy. And it is the first thing that any future leader or any citizen should be taught, because we live in a world and we operate with others around us. And we ought to be taught how to improve the human condition, if you will.
Innovative thinking has to do with the fact that much of what needs to be built in Africa is yet to be built. There are lots of problems that need to be solved and we need to educate people who are innovators. And teaching people to be innovators has to do, I would say primarily, with courage, right? So the courage to imagine, the courage to act, the courage to persist in that action.
And these are so incredibly important and we feel, my team and I, that if we educate people and do these two things - develop ethical leaders and innovative thinkers - that we would have set the groundwork for a new Africa.
STEWART: One of the things I found interesting in researching about you and your school is that you think Africa needs home grown leaders to bring about change. Why is that?
AWUAH: I don't know of any other place in the world where changes come from outside. And I think that people who - who've been raised in Africa, who understand the culture and how things operate here and who have a deeper appreciation for the problems are actually in the best position to solve the problems here. And that they should be, you know, at the forefront of figuring this out.
They might use help from outside Africa, but really it is up to them to solve the problems here. And just as it has happened elsewhere in the world, I think in Africa it's going to take African talent to cause a renaissance here, to - to cause a transformation on this continent.
AWUAH: I'll admit that there are times when it seems like "Mission: Impossible." But we must believe that these kids are smart, that if we involve them in their education, if we have them discuss the real issue that they confront, that a whole society confronts, and if we give them skills that enable them to engage the real world, that magic will happen.
Now, a month into this project, we've just started classes. I come to the office and I have this email from one of our students and it said very simply, "I am thinking now." And he signs off, "Thank you."
It's such a simple statement, but I was moved almost to tears, because I understood what was happening to this young man. And it is an awesome thing, to be a part of empowering someone in this way. I am thinking now.
STEWART: Over 90 percent of your graduates have chosen to stay in Africa. What have they done or what choices have they made that lets you know that your school is making an impact?
AWUAH: Most of our students who've stayed are working in the private sector. There are some that are working with nonprofits and the government. We see that they very quickly get promoted to middle management and leadership positions wherever they are. It's a wide spectrum of activities that they're engaged in. And some of them have started businesses of their own.
The thing that leads me to believe that we are accomplishing our mission is that we have alumni who come back to campus and talk with students here. And they tell us about the challenges they've had with corruption and how they've stood their ground, how they've acted in the ethical way and thrived, not in spite of it, but actually because of it. That by - by setting a different example, they get noticed. And they actually help their companies prosper.
And this gives me a lot of hope. We've seen students who've decided to work in not-for-profits, who've turned schools around, who are bringing Ashesi's ethos of critical thinking up to primary school and to junior high schools. And this is all very wonderful to see, because it - it - it shows that what we're doing here doesn't just end at our gate, but it's actually rippling out into the society around us.
AWUAH: For many of them, it has been a life-altering experience. These young future leaders are beginning to understand the real business of leadership, the real privilege of leadership which is, after all, to serve humanity. And it's just wonderful to see sort of these glimmers of the promise of what can happen if we train our kids right.
I think that the current and future leaders of Africa have an incredible opportunity to drive a major renaissance on the continent. It's an incredible opportunity. There aren't very many more opportunities like this in the world. I believe that Africa has reached an inflection point. With a march of democracy and free markets across the continent, we have reached a moment from which could emerge a great society within one generation.
It will depend on inspired leadership and it is my contention that the manner in which we train our leaders will make all the difference. Thank you and God bless.
STEWART: Patrick Awuah, president of Ashesi University, thank you for joining us on the TED RADIO HOUR.
AWUAH: Thank you very much.
STEWART: Patrick Awuah. You can find out more about Ashesi University and hear a report on Ashesi from NPR's Ofeibea Quist-Arcton. Go to our website: ted.npr.org.

New Mexico Fishing Report
This fishing report, provided by the Department of Game and Fish and thefishphone.com, has been generated from the best information available from area officers, anglers, guides and local businesses. Conditions may vary as stream, lake and weather conditions alter fish and angler activities.
Animas River – The flow is 175 cfs. The river continues to fish fair to good for trout using various bead-headed nymphs, spinners and worms.
Chama River – Upper section flow is 37 cfs. Below El Vado, the flow is 206 cfs and the flow below Abiquiu is 572 cfs. The upper Chama flowing downstream to the village of Chama and into El Vado reservoir is fair to good with the recent drop in flow. Special Kokanee Salmon Snagging Season Oct. 1 – Dec. 31 – Chama River from El Vado Lake to west boundary of Rio Chama Wildlife and Fishing Area. Check the Fishing Rules and Information booklet for the details. The river below El Vado is fishing good to excellent. All methods are catching fish with limits of rainbows being taken. Some brown trout are also reported being landed a bit lower downriver from the spillway using black and gold Panther Martins.
San Juan River – Upper section – Catch and Release flow is 499 cfs. Fishing is good. Midges are hatching all day long. At the moment they are very small, midge pupa and larvae, size 22 to 28, black, chocolate, dark grey, cream and olive have been the best. The hatch is strongest from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Blue-winged olives are on the move and the hatches are getting better. Use smaller flies especially near the dam as the water is clear. In the mornings, use a red midge larva as your point fly and trail a size 24-26 black or gray midge pupa like a UV flash midge emerger. As the afternoon progresses, change your flies to baetis, such as a gray or chocolate RS2 or foam wing emerger. Small 16-18 ants fished along the banks are also bringing up fish.. The lower river was stocked last week with 2,052 rainbow trout.
Abiquiu Lake – Special Kokanee Salmon Snagging Season Oct. 1 – Dec. 31. Check the Fishing Rules and Information booklet for the details. Not much has changed at the lake and conditions remain the same. Fishing is slow for all species including walleye with smaller-sized fish being caught. No report on other species.
El Vado Lake – Trout fishing is reported as slow to fair with better reports from the Chama River inlet and the dam. Fish are being landed with worms, salmon eggs, Power Bait and spinners. The main boat ramp is open but the primitive ramps are closed due to low water. Special Kokanee Salmon Snagging Season Oct. 1 – Dec. 31. Check the Fishing Rules and Information booklet for the details.
Heron Lake – Salmon fishing has picked back up and is reported as good. Some anglers are having better luck than others. Fish are being caught at 30 – 35 feet deep with downriggers and lead-core lines. Anglers are having success with double whammies tipped with corn or garlic Power Bait. Best bet is to use a x-mas tree, large copper spinner or dodger to pick up the bite. Special Kokanee Salmon Snagging – Snagging season is closed at Heron Lake and Willow Creek Oct. 1 – Nov. 10. Snagging season will open at Heron Lake and Willow Creek Nov. 11 – Dec. 31. Trout fishing is reported slow to fair when using worms, salmon eggs, Power Bait and spinners from shore. Better reports for bigger trout when trolling on the north end of the lake using Rapala's and Panther Martins.
Jackson Lake – Trout fishing is reported as fair using Power Bait, salmon eggs and worms from shore. Spinners and black wooly buggers are reported working well on the back side of the lake.
Lake Farmington – Trout fishing is reported as fair to good by the spillway using Power Bait, salmon eggs and worms. Best success is reported close to the dam.
Morgan Lake – Fishing is slow for bass with very little traffic at the lake.
Navajo Lake – Bass fishing continues to be good when using CVD Strike King Lures in a shad pattern. Northern pike are reported as fair to slow in the mornings when trolling along structure with big flashy lures. Special Kokanee Salmon Snagging Season Oct. 1 – Dec. 31. Check the Fishing Rules and Information booklet for the details.
Cimarron River – The flow below Eagle Nest Dam is 8.5 cfs and 6.8 cfs near Cimarron. The release out of Eagle Nest Dam has dropped significantly and is really not worth fishing at these low levels. Check the flows before you go. Releases below 25 cfs makes for slow fishing. If the release doesn't go back up, wait until spring next year to fly fish.
Costilla Creek – The flow is 15 cfs near the town of Costilla and 20 cfs at the dam. Fishing is reported as fair to slow with the low flows. The release has lowered to a point where the fishing is going to be tough, at least above Comanche Creek anyway. Check the flows before you go.
Red River – Flows are 15 cfs near Questa and 36 cfs below the hatchery. Trout are being found on the entire stretch of the river from the upper forks to the confluence with the Rio Grande. Below the hatchery is reported as the best bet though. All methods are producing fish.
Rio Grande – Flows are 163 cfs near Cerro and 281 cfs below the Taos Junction Bridge. Low current velocity has made trout fishing slow. Best fly fishing on the Rio is for smallmouth bass on streamers. Cover the deeper slower runs for the bass. No report on pike.
Rio Hondo – The flow is 714 cfs and fishing is reported as fair in the upper stretches by the ski area. Dry flies, small spinners and worms are all working.
Rio Pueblo – The flow is 7.1 cfs. The fishing is fair. Same as the Rio Hondo. Dry flies, small spinners and worms are all working. The river was stocked last week with 1,803 triploid rainbow trout.
Cabresto Lake – The lake is closed for repairs to the dam.
Charette Lakes – Fishing is good in the deeper water. Try to avoid the moss. Topwater fly fishing is reported as good in the mornings and evenings. Perch are fair using small lures and worms.
Clayton Lake – Trout fishing is reported as fair to good when using Power bait, worms or spinners. The lake was stocked last week with 3,799 triploid rainbow trout. The lake closes for the season Oct. 31.
Eagle Nest Lake – Fishing continues to be good. The perch are reported as good from shore and better from anchored boats. Trolling is great for trout using lightweight tackle. Trout fishing is good when trolling top water gear and hit and miss from the bank using Power Bait. Special Kokanee Salmon Snagging Season Oct. 1 – Dec. 31. Check the Fishing Rules and Information booklet for the details.
Lake Alice and Lake Maloya – Sugarite Canyon State Park has reopened and fishing is good on Lake Maloya for trout. Fish are being landed using Power Bait and salmon eggs from shore. Fly fishing is reported as good in the early mornings and late evenings. Lake Alice has been affected by runoff from the fire and no fishing is reported there. Lake Maloya was stocked last week with 3,324 triploid rainbow trout.
Maxwell Lakes – The water level is very low at Lake No.13 and fishing is slow.
Shuree Ponds – The water level on the upper pond is reported to be 50 percent down. This is making float tubing difficult and fishing is reported as fair overall. All methods are catching fish. Be sure to get past the weed beds for a better bite.
Springer Lakes – Fishing is reported as slow. Water levels are dropping due to irrigation so water levels are low.
West-Central, including the Jemez Mountains
Jemez River, East Fork, Guadalupe and San Antonio – Flow on the Jemez River is 10 cfs. Low water and ash washing into the river from the fire are plaguing the streams of the Jemez. The only really water worth fishing is the Cebolla or the Rio De Las Vacas/Guadalupe watershed. Ash runoff from the Las Conchas fire has killed quite a lot of fish on the East Fork and Rio San Antonio, and the streambed is covered in it. This side of the Jemez has not been stocked since the fire started. On a good note, reports do say that the San Antonio is showing some signs of clearing and if the rains continue to subside it should start to come back pretty quickly.
Metro Drainages – Stocking has ended for the season and trout fishing is reported as slow.
Bluewater Lake – No report on trout but with the recent stocking it should be good. The tiger muskies are fishing good. The fish reported were caught on rattletraps while trolling and jerk baits from shore. The lake was stocked last week 4,750 rainbow trout.
Cochiti Lake – The lake is open with a few fishermen trying their luck. Reports of few catfish and bluegill being taken, but traffic and water quality are still issues. More than 100 tons of debris was removed from the lake and there is plenty more on the shore. Water clarity is also a problem with the ash from the fire being swept into the lake by runoff from rain.
Fenton Lake – Fishing for trout is reported as fair with worms and Power Bait.
Tingley Beach – Fishing for catfish in the Tingley Beach Children's and Central Ponds has been fair. Best reports are from anglers using worms or hotdogs. No reports on largemouth bass. The rainbow trout stocking season for Tingley Beach is almost here. Look forward to weekly stockings of 2,400 rainbow trout from October through April! No reports from fly-rod anglers at the South/Catch and Release Pond.
East–Central, including the Pecos River
Coyote Creek – The flow is 0.78 cfs. Fishing is fair for trout. Better fishing reported in the beaver ponds downstream from the camp areas.
Pecos River – The flow is 37 cfs. The river is fishing well and the water is clear on the upper stretches. If you see murky water down low, consider driving upriver to find clearer water. Use small flies during clear water and switch to a bigger more flashy fly if the water is murky. Blue winged olives, yellow sallies, hoppers, ants, and beetles have been the best producers dry fly wise. Nymphing with a dry dropper rig can end your slump if they aren't coming up on your dry fly. Try flashback pheasant tails or a nitro caddis.
Conchas Lake – Fishing is reported as slow with very few fishermen out and very few fish being caught. North Dock reports that white and black bass when trolling top water and plastics are your best bet. Some walleye have been picked up when trolling crank baits in 18 – 20 feet of water. No report on other species.
Morphy Lake –No fishing report this week.
Santa Rosa Lake – Water levels are low and launching boats is down to one at a time. Please use caution and common sense. The smallmouth bass fishing has been slow. Catfish have been fair using cut bait and stink bait. No report on other species.
Storrie Lake – Fishing is slow for trout using Power Bait, cheese balls and worms. The lake was stocked last week with 2,881 triploid rainbow trout.
Sumner Lake – Fishing is slow for all species, no good reports as of late. Below the dam. Slow, no reports. The water level is very low.
Ute Lake – The main lake is clear and the river arms are lightly stained. White bass are fishing good to excellent. Find the schools from where the Ute empties into the Canadian to Horseshoe and then use Leprechaun swim slabs (white) to hammer them. Walleye are fishing fair with reports of catching one here and there. Small and largemouth bass are reported as fair. Reports of good fish being taken with jigs in the trees and frogs early in the morning. Channel catfish are reported as excellent with stink baits and chicken liver fished near brush in 6-15 feet of water.
Gila River – The flow is 30 cfs and fishing is fair to slow with the best success in the upper reaches of the river on the West, East and Middle forks.
Rio Grande – The flow is 2.8 cfs below Elephant Butte Dam. Catfish are fair using worms, liver or stink bait. Walleye are reported as good here and better below Caballo Lake with worms and shiners.
Bill Evans Lake: Winter stocking for trout has ended for the year and will resume late fall. No fishing report.
Caballo Lake – Fishing is slow. Water levels are very low. Best bet is below spillway on the Rio Grande.
Elephant Butte Lake – Fishing for white bass is reported as fair but slowing down. Most anglers are catching fish with shiners and spinners. Stripped bass are reported slow by the dam with a few fish being landed. No report on other species.
Glenwood Ponds – Fishing is fair for trout when using Pistol Petes, worms and Power Bait.
Lake Roberts – Fishing is reported as good for catfish with liver and worms. Trout fishing is reported as good with worms since the recent stockings. No report on other species.
Quemado Lake – Trout fishing is reported as fair. Anglers are having success using green Power Bait. No report on the tiger muskies.
Rio Ruidoso – Flow is 0.13 cfs. Fishing is reported as fair to good. Best bet is to fish the deeper holes where fish will be holding in the low water conditions.
Bonito Lake – Trout fishing continues to be good in the mornings and evenings. Green and yellow Power Bait, spinners and black woolly boogers our reported working well.
Bottomless Lakes: No report, stocking will resume in late fall.
Brantley Reservoir – There has been light pressure and no current report. A mandatory catch and release is in place at Brantley Lake because pesticides have been found in the fish. Do not keep or eat them.
Grindstone Reservoir – Fishing is reported as good with better fishing reported in the mornings and evenings for trout using worms, Power Bait and Pistol Petes. The lake was stocked last week with 2,850 triploid rainbow trout.

World Water Day 2010: A red letter day for Europe's waters
March 22, is World Water Day, and the Commission joins the UN in calling on governments around the globe to raise the political profile of the importance of water quality. But 22 March is also an important date for water management in Europe, because it is the deadline for Member States to submit their plans for managing Europe's river basins, as required by the Water Framework Directive. Most Member States are making good progress in delivering these plans, although a small number of States have significantly less progress. A decade after the legislation was adopted, the Commission is reviewing its implementation and envisages, by 2012, a "Blueprint to Safeguard European Waters."
President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso said: "World Water Day is an important day for Europe's flagship water legislation, the Water Framework Directive, because today is the deadline for Member States to deliver their river basin plans for Europe's 110 river basin districts. These plans will be our key tool for achieving the objective of 'good quality status' for European waters by 2015. Europe has strong water legislation in place, and the challenge now is to see how it is working in practice. Rising demand from competing uses and the impacts of climate change are increasing the pressure on water resources. That's why we have scheduled a number of policy reviews that will help us develop – by 2012 – a blueprint to safeguard European waters."
An integrated approach to water policy
The Water Framework Directive, adopted in 2000, establishes a European framework for the protection of all water bodies in the European Union – rivers, lakes, coastal waters and groundwater– with a view to achieving good quality water resources by 2015. As water systems are often shared by several Member States, the focus is on an integrated approach to river basin management. The Directive contains clear deadlines for the various steps required to move toward sustainable, integrated water management, and by 22 March 2010, Member States are required to deliver their plans for Europe's 110 river basin districts.
Most Member States have made good progress towards the delivery of the plans and have carried out the required public consultation process over the draft plans in the past months. But there are serious delays in a small number of Member States, a situation the Commission will monitor closely with a view to possible legal action.
The Commission will now assess all plans for 110 river basin districts and this analysis will feed into the 2012 'Blueprint to safeguard EU waters', together with a review of the Strategy for Water Scarcity and Droughts and a review of the vulnerability of environmental resources such as water, biodiversity and soil to climate impacts and man-made pressures.
A resource under pressure
European water policy also focuses on water quantity. The balance between water demand and availability has reached a critical level in many areas of Europe, where water scarcity is a growing problem. Droughts too are becoming more common, with more and more areas adversely affected by changes in the hydrological cycle and precipitation patterns. Climate change will almost certainly exacerbate these adverse impacts, with more frequent and severe droughts expected across Europe and neighbouring countries. The EU has therefore developed a Strategy on Water Scarcity and Droughts, and the European Commission is looking into options to boost water saving and water efficiency in the EU.
Background: World Water Day
World Water Day – 22 March – is an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro. On 22 March 2005, the UN also launched a new International Decade for Action on water. The Water for Life Decade 2005-2015 aims at giving a high profile to implementing water-related programmes and the participation of women. The UN hopes that the Decade will boost the chances of achieving international water-related goals and the United Nations Millennium Declaration

Of course not, Mr. Speaker.
The Bloc Québécois has shown—and the NDP has done a good job too—that there have been too many violations of human and environmental rights in Colombia. The Colombian government is not trustworthy and has been involved in a large number of court cases for failure to respect basic human rights. This issue is very complex.
That is why we cannot support this bill. If Canada signs this agreement with Colombia, we will be forced to hang our head in shame on the world stage because Canada and Quebec supposedly respect human and environmental rights. Or at least some members of this House do. Everyone knows what is going on in Copenhagen. Canada cannot sign this kind of agreement.
