William Hague
British politician
The Right Honourable William Jefferson Hague (born 26 March 1961) is a British Conservative politician and life peer. He represented Richmond, Yorkshire as Member of Parliament (MP) from 1989 to 2015. He also served as Leader of the House of Commons from 2014 to 2015, as Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs from 2010 to 2014, and as Leader of the Conservative Party and Leader of the Opposition from 1997 to 2001.
- I was the driver's mate, delivering the bottles and beer around South Yorkshire. We used to have a pint at every stop – well the driver's mate did, not the driver, thankfully – and we used to have about 10 stops in a day. You worked so hard you didn't feel you'd drunk 10 pints by four o'clock, you used to sweat so much. But then you had to lift all the empties off the lorry. It's probably horrifying but we used to do that then go home for tea and then go out in the evening to the pub.
- Interview, GQ magazine, August 2000
- Reminiscing about his days delivering soft drinks for the family firm while a teenager. The interviewer asked whether that might make 14 pints per day and Hague agreed.
- "Nothing is more absurd than a Prime Minister who has committed us in principle to joining the Euro saying last week that he was against it. He talks about his five tests; we know what they are: "Does Peter want it? Will Gordon let me? Will the French like it? Will Robin notice? Can I get away with it?"
- 25 October 2000, House of Commons, Prime Minister's Questions.
- In the Prime Minister, we have a man who has forfeited the right to be believed or to be trusted. In more than 20 years in politics, he has betrayed every cause he believed in, contradicted every statement he has made, broken every promise he has given and breached every agreement that he has entered into. In 1982, the Prime Minister said that we would negotiate a withdrawal from the EEC. In 1994, he said: "Under my leadership, I will never allow this country to be isolated." In 1996, he said that he had made it clear that if it is in Britain's interest to be isolated then we will be isolated.There is a lifetime of U-turns, errors and sell-outs. All those hon. Members who sit behind the Prime Minister and wonder whether they stand for anything any longer, or whether they defend any point of principle, know who has led them to that sorry state. In one of his frequent meetings with the former leader of the Liberal party, whom he so much preferred to meeting his own Cabinet, the Prime Minister told us as it is. He said that he had taken from his party everything they thought they believed in and had stripped them of their core beliefs and that what kept them together was power.
- 6 December 2000, House of Commons, Prime Minister's Questions.
- I thank the Prime Minister for his remarks about me. Debating with him at the Dispatch Box has been exciting, fascinating, fun, an enormous challenge and, from my point of view, wholly unproductive in every sense. I am told that in my time at the Dispatch Box I have asked the Prime Minister 1,118 direct questions, but no one has counted the direct answers—it may not take long.
- 18 July 2001, House of Commons, Prime Minister's Questions.
- For the first time in history at Question Time, all three parties are represented by a stand-in for the real leader.
- 15 February 2006, House of Commons, Prime Minister's Questions when he deputised for David Cameron in his absence. However, Tony Blair was answering questions and was the active leader of the Labour party. Hague was suggesting that Gordon Brown was the "true" power behind the party.
- To see how the post of a permanent President of the European Council could evolve is not difficult even for the humblest student of politics, and it is, of course, rumoured that one Tony Blair may be interested in the job. Now, if that makes us uncomfortable on these benches, just imagine how it is viewed in Downing Street! I must warn Ministers opposite that having tangled with Tony Blair across this Dispatch Box on literally hundreds of occasions, I know his mind almost as well as they do. I can tell them that when he goes off to a major political conference of a centre-right party and simultaneously refers to himself as a socialist, he is on manoeuvres, and is busily building coalitions as only he can. We can all picture the scene at a European Council sometime next year. Picture the face of our poor Prime Minister as the name of "Blair" is nominated by one President and Prime Minister after another: the look of utter gloom on his face at the nauseating, glutinous praise oozing from every Head of Government, the rapid revelation of a majority view, agreed behind closed doors when he, as usual, was excluded. Never would he regret more no longer being in possession of a veto: the famous dropped jaw almost hitting the table, as he realises there is no option but to join in. And then the awful moment when the motorcade of the President of Europe sweeps into Downing Street. With gritted teeth and bitten nails: the Prime Minister emerging from his door with a smile of intolerable anguish; the choking sensation as the words, "Mr President", are forced from his mouth. And then, once in the Cabinet room, the melodrama of, "When will you hand over to me?" all over again.
- Hansard, 21 Jan 2008, House of Commons: Column 1261-1263.
- To Harriet Harman. "Before turning to domestic issues, I was going to be nice to the right hon. and learned Lady. She has had a difficult week. She had to explain yesterday that she dresses in accordance with wherever she is going: she wears a helmet on a building site, she wears Indian clothes in the parts of her constituency with a large representation of Indian people, so when she goes to a Cabinet meeting, she presumably dresses as a clown. As I said, I was going to be nice to her before her previous response."
- 02 April 2008, House of Commons, Prime Minister's Questions.
- It remains the case that the single biggest terrorist threat to this country remains al-Qaeda, or people inspired by al-Qaeda, but what has happened is a reminder that it is not the only source of violent extremist or terrorist attack.
- Norway massacre: Police probe killer's links to UK BBC News (26 July 2011)
- I welcome the formation of the new Israeli Government. I warmly congratulate Prime Minister Netanyahu on his second consecutive term in office at this important time in Israel's history. We look forward to working with his new Government to further develop our strong bilateral relations and to advance our successful partnerships in areas such as trade, security, science, technology and higher education. As I have said previously, there is no more urgent foreign policy priority in 2013 than making progress towards achieving the two-state solution. I have urged the United States to lead international efforts to revive the peace process and pledged that the UK will spare no effort in mobilising European Union and Arab states behind decisive moves for peace. I welcome President Obama's visit to the region next week. I call on Prime Minister Netanyahu, and President Abbas, to demonstrate leadership and courage in working with the international community to secure the peace which is so strongly in the interests of both Israelis and Palestinians.
- GOV', 17 March 2013, India, Welcoming the formation of the new Israeli Government.
Quotations about William HagueEdit
- To make matters worse, they have elected a foetus as the party leader. I bet a lot of them wish they had not voted against abortion now!
- Tony Banks, speaking at the Tribune Rally at the Labour Party conference in 1997. See "Beyond a joke: the ones that went too far", Guardian Unlimited, 27 February 2004.
- "if I were looking for advice on what to wear or what not to wear, the very last person I would look to is the man in the baseball cap." **Harriet Harman, 02 April 2008, House of Commons, Prime Minister's Questions.

timing of Vannathupoochi cannot
be more appropriate then now
as it hits the marquee at
a time when children-centric
films are being received well
by the audience. The film
talks about over ambitious
parents who have absolutely
no time for their children.
Director C Azhagappan has
attempted to showcase the
new age parents' urgency
to shove their unfulfilled
dreams on to their progenies,
which results in a confused
and lonely generation yearning
and craving for love. But
unfortunately, he has not
taken adequate care to make
this plot an entertaining
one and the theme falls flat.
Siddharth and Madhavi Sharma
are software experts who are
neck deep immersed in their
work. Sri Lakshmi is their
daughter who is constantly
tossed between one tuition
class to the other. Her parents
decide who she should talk
to and move about. They do
not have the time and energy
for her and even miss out
on the child's annual
day prize distribution event.
A good neighbor brings her
home and takes care of her.

The quarterback market is such that Matt Moore was one of the, if not the top name in it.
That's why it struck some as odd he'd stay as the backup in Miami rather than pursue a chance to start elsewhere.
Now we know part of it, as Jeff Darlington of NFL.com points out the contract Moore agreed to this morning is a two-year deal worth $8 million.
Those are premium dollars for a backup, and he might not have gotten the same kind of money for a chance to compete for a starting job with a bad team.
So in the end, Moore took the bird in hand (a bird which isn't burdened with state income tax) rather than try for a starting job that he'd have had to fight for.

Horizons Facilitation
Horizons is Sigma Chi's premier leadership development program. Taking place each summer in Snowbird, Utah, the program seeks to create values-based leaders that are changing the world. Horizons is fully-funded by the Sigma Chi Foundation, at no expense to either guides or the participants. The program is looking to expand and include an alumni-only session entitled Horizons Vistas to further reach more Sigma Chi brothers with the valuable lessons and journey of Horizons.
Time Commitment
Seven years; one week-long training session and one week-long guiding session every two years; two year follow-up and small group meeting
At least five years removed from undergraduate education;
Facilitation experience, not necessarily within Sigma Chi;
Familiarity with Sigma Chi Ritual, values, ethics and
Training at Balfour Leadership Training Workshop is a plus
To provide facilitation services as a Horizons guide over seven years:
Attend training session for new guides only (one week during the first year)
Commit to facilitate three small groups (one week during the first year; one week during the third year; and one week during the fifth year)
Facilitate post-session small group communication for two years (years one through three; years three through five; and years five through seven)
To continue your role as a guide for each member of each small group for at least 2 years after their session, which shall at minimum include quarterly contact with small group members.
To ensure all facilitator materials are up-to-date prior to guiding a new session
To act as a positive role model by living Sigma Chi's values and ideals in your everyday life
To trust in and follow the Horizons process as laid out in the facilitator guide
To respect the proprietary nature of the Horizons program and its curriculum by not sharing, distributing, or copying any of the exercises or material used before, during, and after your Horizons sessions
Indications of success
Increased participation in chapter, university, and community leadership roles of participants
Indications by participants in follow-up activities (surveys, interview, etc.) of a greater grasp of Sigma Chi values and instituting them in their everyday lives. Measurements may be gathered by the Horizons metrics task force and/or other fraternity resources
The identification of a mentor by the participants
Horizons is generously funded by the Sigma Chi Foundation.

(Portland, OR) - Dr. Melody Rose, currently vice provost for Academic Programs and Instruction and dean of Undergraduate Studies at Portland State University (PSU), has accepted the position of vice chancellor for academic strategies of the Oregon University System (OUS). Rose began working at PSU in 1995 and will begin her new position on August 1.
"It's always great to see one of our faculty members succeed, and it's particularly gratifying in this case, since professor Rose has spent so much time helping other women succeed," said PSU President Wim Wiewel. "She will be a great asset to the entire Oregon University System."
Rose's responsibilities are broad but focus on leading and implementing strategic planning for the System in collaboration with the State Board of Higher Education and PK-20 institutions throughout Oregon.
"I'm looking forward to translating the work I've done at the university level to helping the Oregon University System
advance its policy and practice for the benefit of all Oregon's students," said Rose. "It will be great to approach issues
from a statewide perspective and to work collaboratively across all of the education sectors to ensure access and
affordability to higher education while maintaining the quality students have come to expect."
Rose has worked in numerous positions of increasing responsibility at PSU since 1995. In her current position as vice
provost for Academic Programs and Instruction, Rose is responsible for accreditation and assessment, and all matters
related to undergraduate and graduate student curricula and instruction. She was also the founder of New Leadership
Oregon/Center for Women, Politics & Policy at PSU where she developed program partnerships with dozens of
nonprofit, educational, corporate, and governmental organizations, and raised $1 million to advance the organization's
mission and work. She is a tenured professor of Political Science, where she has served in faculty positions, including
chair of the Division of Political Science.
"Rose has a very broad set of skills in the areas of student instruction, faculty support, online learning, program
development, and assessment," said OUS Chancellor George Pernsteiner. "Besides being well known as a scholar
in the area of women and the political experience, Rose has a national reputation for being a change-agent,
collaborator and convener."
Rose's book Hillary Clinton's Race for the White House: Gender Politics and the Media on the Campaign Trail, was published in 2009. She received a Bachelor's degree in Politics from the University of California at Santa Cruz; a Master's degree in
Public Administration, a Master's in Government, and a Ph.D. in Government from Cornell University.
About Portland State University (PSU)
Located in Portland, Oregon, PSU has about 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students. PSU's motto is "Let
Knowledge Serve the City," and we provide every student with opportunities to work with businesses, schools
and organizations on real-world projects. Our downtown campus exhibits PSU's commitment to sustainability
with green buildings, while sustainability is incorporated into much of the curriculum.

OCEAN CITY – The final site plans for the Seaside Escape condominiums were approved at a Planning and Zoning Commission meeting last Tuesday night.
The condominiums, set to be located between 79th and 80th streets, are located in the R-3 multi-family residential district. Zoning Administrator Blaine Smith presented the plans for the 15 unit building, explaining that 15 units was the maximum amount of units allowed for that property.
Smith presented the commission with a list of suggestions, with the placement of the trashcans fostering the most discussion. The plans call for the trashcans to be located along 79th Street off the east end of the property. Smith expressed concerns that it would be a tight fit for solid waste trucks to access. "The truck drivers are going to have to be skilled to fit in a tight space like that," Smith said.
"We've had several issues with dumpsters after the fact not working," said Chairwoman Pamela Buckley, suggesting that the city find a solution now rather than later.
The suggestion was made to move the dumpster to the alley running through the center of the building. Smith noted that City Engineer Terry McGean may object to the spot. Smith explained that there had been discussion over opening the alley in the future to extend the full length of the alley to 20 feet. The commission decided to recommend that the dumpster be moved to the alley pending McGean's decision, and if need be, be relocated at a later time to a parking space.
The commission also agreed to require recess lighting for all parking lights.
The 15-unit project came before the Mayor and Council this summer, with esquire Joe Moore requesting the approval of raised crosswalks that would connect the two sections of the building. The Mayor and Council approved the raised walkways, which will be at least 14 feet above grade level.
The building also contains a pool, a 20-foot wide public access alley, and a public easement, which was added to accommodate the public utilizing the 20-foot alley.
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the site plans with five in favor and commission member Lauren Taylor abstaining.
For all the top headlines of the week, the new photo pages, an updated calendar of events, dining recommendations and much more, see www.mdcoastdispatch.com on Friday morning.
