The ACLU of Louisiana has written to the members of the Livingston Parish Council, urging them to repeal an ordinance that changes the official date of Halloween when October 31 falls on a Sunday, as it does this year. The same ordinance mandates specific hours for "trick or treat." Because the government is prohibited from telling people where they can go and when they may serve candy to visitors, and because Halloween is a religious holiday the date of which cannot be mandated by government, the ACLU urges the Livingston Parish Council to block enforcement of Ordinance 11-10 until it can be repealed.
"Neither Halloween nor any other event is subject to the dictates of a government that wants to tell people when they can visit their neighbors and when they can serve treats to children," said Marjorie R. Esman, ACLU of Louisiana Executive Director. "The penalty for violation of this misguided ordinance can be up to 30 days in jail. No parent should fear jail time for taking children to a neighbor's house for candy, and no resident should fear prosecution for offering a treat to a visiting child."
Halloween is part of an ancient religious tradition that includes Celtic and Christian elements. Tied to the celebration of the dead and respect for their souls, it is a religious celebration that cannot be rescheduled at the whim of government. "The free exercise of religion, mandated by both the U.S. and the Louisiana Constitutions, means that government cannot reschedule Christmas or any other religious holiday," continued Esman. "That includes Halloween, which falls on October 31 regardless of the day of the week."

Perry signs abortion bill
Fri., July 19, 2013, midnight
AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Gov. Rick Perry signed sweeping new abortion restrictions on Thursday that could shutter most of the state's clinics that provide the procedure, a final step for the Republican-backed measure after weeks of sometimes raucous protests at the state Capitol.
Supporters credited God's will and prayer as the governor signed the legislation, with protesters' chants of "Shame! Shame! Shame!" echoing from the hallway. Opponents have vowed to fight the law, though no court challenges were immediately filed.
"Today, we celebrate the further cementing of the foundation on which the culture of life in Texas is built upon," Perry told an auditorium full of beaming GOP lawmakers and anti-abortion activists. "It is our responsibility and duty to give voice to the unborn individuals."
The law restricts abortions to surgical centers and requires doctors who work at abortion clinics to have hospital admitting privileges. Only five of the 42 clinics in Texas meet those new requirements.

Dental Implants
At Authentic Dental Designs in La Mesa, CA, Dr. Megan Clarke provides the latest in dental implants and restorative dentistry technology. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that serve as anchors for replacement teeth. When a patient is missing one or more teeth, dental implants are the most permanent (and often the most comfortable) solution. Visit our smile gallery to view some before-and-after photos of the results enjoyed by dental implant patients.
The first step in the dental implants process for our La Mesa dental patients is a consultation with Dr. Clarke, during which all possible tooth replacement options will be discussed. To be a good candidate for dental implants, the dental patient must have sufficient bone in his or her jaw to support the implants. Once it is determined that the patient is a good candidate for dental implants, Dr. Clarke will refer you to an Oral Surgeon or a Periodontist, they will surgically implant the titanium screws that serve as anchors into the patient's jaw. The next step in the dental implants process will occur three to six months later, after the titanium tooth roots have completely fused to the patient's jaw bone. Once this has occurred, the patient can return to our La Mesa restorative dentistry office where Dr. Clarke will fit the custom-crafted replacement teeth onto the patient's artificial tooth roots.
Many of Dr. Clarke's La Mesa area dental implant patients prefer permanent dental implants over traditional removable dentures for several reasons. Dental implants are nearly indistinguishable from a patient's natural teeth, unlike dentures which look artificial. While traditional dentures need to be removed nightly for cleaning, dental implants are a permanent tooth loss solution that require no additional maintenance outside of a good oral hygiene routine. Dental implants also allow patients to feel more comfortable while speaking and eating because dental implants are permanently affixed to the patient's jaw and won't shift or slip as with traditional dentures.
If you are interested in learning more about your tooth replacement options, especially dental implants, contact our La Mesa office at 619-460-9100 to schedule your restorative dentistry consultation with Dr. Megan Clarke today.

Petroleum to Synthetic Oil at 175k
I have a 175k on my 'teg but my mechanic is still putting in conventional oil, I read up on how synthetic oil should be put in after about 90k. Is it too late to switch? Or should I go ahead and make the transition?
2 Answers
I've never heard of switching. My 98 has 173K and I still use 5W30. It does burn oil though, so maybe the synthetic would help with that? I've driven about 3100 miles in 6 months.
Go with a thicker viscosity n add some lucas oil treatment.. i wouldnt switch to syn or even a blended version. Due to high mileage the molecular structure of syn is smaller than reg oil , in plan terms it will slip thru gaps quicker than conventional oil

Hata Named Prime Minister of a Shaky Japanese Government
By JAMES STERNGOLD,
Published: April 28, 1994
TOKYO, Thursday, April 28— After a two-day delay because of intense infighting, Tsutomu Hata was appointed Japan's 51st Prime Minister this morning by Emperor Akihito in a brief ceremony at the Imperial Palace, but he appears likely to head a weak and perhaps short-lived coalition Government.
Mr. Hata has tried but failed so far to mend his conservative party's rift with the Socialists, who quit the governing coalition in anger early Tuesday morning, depriving it of its majority in Parliament. The Socialists were furious after the conservative parties in the coalition, including Mr. Hata's, hastily joined together to resist any leftward turn in the Government's economic or security policies.
Thus, Japan appeared to be moving toward what many here have long dreaded, growing ideological strife and a minority government unable to deal firmly with the country's deep economic problems. Mr. Hata is Japan's sixth Prime Minister in a rocky five years of corruption scandals and a far-reaching political realignment.
Mr. Hata met this morning with Tomiichi Murayama, the head of the Socialists, but they were not able to achieve a reconciliation.
Later in the day Mr. Hata named his cabinet, putting a close ally, Hiroshi Kumagai, the outgoing Minister for International Trade and Industry, into the important job of cabinet secretary, which will make him the Government's spokesman.
Another critical post, Foreign Minister, was given to Koji Kakizawa, a conservative like Mr. Hata who recently defected from the Liberal Democratic Party. Mr. Kakizawa supports an idea the Socialists fiercely resist, Japan's participation in collective security arrangments, including use of its military in overseas peacekeeping operations.
In practical terms, the new Government, which controls just 181 seats in the 511-seat lower house of Parliament, is unlikely to be able to push through any bold legislation on the critical issues, like ending the recession, responding to American demands that Japan open its markets and reduce its trade surplus, and trying to halt North Korea's suspected nuclear weapons program.
Japan begins a week of holidays Friday, after which the Parliament is expected to pass the overdue budget for the fiscal year beginning April 1. The Socialists helped draw it up and so are expected to support it.
After that, many experts have said, the prospect is for growing ideological strife and a quick election -- just before an important meeting of the Group of Seven industrial countries in July and a self-imposed deadline for producing a market-opening package for the Clinton Administration.
The parties underwent a day of bizarre maneuverings today, underscoring the state of flux after 38 years of one-party, conservative rule ended last summer.
The Socialists were wooed ardently by Mr. Hata, who reportedly told his allies: "It is indispensable for us to maintain unity with the Socialists. I will do my utmost to bring the party back into the fold."
The Socialists, however, insisted that the right-wing policies and authoritarian methods of Mr. Hata's key strategist, Ichiro Ozawa, made such a reunion impossible.
No sooner had the Socialists set out their stand than they met and agreed to work closely with the conservative party that was ousted last summer, the Liberal Democrats. It was an unconvincing alliance, but it underscored the bitterness of the rift.
"This is a case of, 'My enemy's enemy is my friend,' " said Asahiko Mihara, whose conservative faction is estranged from Mr. Ozawa.
Even if Mr. Hata, who is known as a conciliator, manages to lure the Socialists back with plum Cabinet assignments, few expect the marriage of convenience to last. If anything, the ideological divide in the Parliament is growing more pronounced. Both those on the far left and the far right are finding themselves increasingly isolated from the realignment of the parties toward the political center.

This painting is a variation on some of the series I have been working on in the past months. All of these paintings led me to create this piece that is truly a step further into the world of deep, vibrant color, texture and beauty. This piece is simplistic in its arrangement, but very complex in it's color palette and variety of texture and line. Each color was chosen organically in a moment of emotional creation and fed off of the last and enhanced the next. This painting shines and shimmers in the light and is stunning in a clean white frame, enhancing any wall that or color schemed room it is hung on.

By Charly SHELTON
Set in a dystopian future of America, 12 districts comprise the nation and, along with the Capitol, the seat of government. Every year each district must offer up one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to compete in a gladiatorial game, The Hunger Games, to earn food for the coming year. These teens are selected at random and taken to the Capitol to compete in a fight to the death for televised enjoyment. The one who survives is crowned the victor and earns fame and riches.
District 12 is where the story begins, in the coal mining region that was once the Appalachian Mountains. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) is the sole provider for her family. She is an expert archer and hunter. When her younger sister is chosen for the games, Katniss volunteers to take her place. With the boy chosen from her district, Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), they are taken to compete in the games and soon realize the harsh reality that they may have to kill other teens, and that they almost certainly will die.
This movie is the long-awaited adaptation of Suzanne Collins' novel of the same name that took the world by storm in 2008. It spawned two more books to make a trilogy. "Catching Fire" was published in 2009 and "Mockingjay" was published in 2010. Since "The Hunger Games" film has had the biggest opening weekend of any non-sequel movie ($155 million domestic), we can expect to see the other two books coming soon enough, with "Catching Fire" already slated for next Thanksgiving. But having seen the first film, this reporter awaits the next installments with trepidation.
First off, let me say that the book is great. It is much more in depth and explains a lot more, as books always do. But the real upside to the book over the film is that director Gary Ross is nowhere near the printed page.
Ross, whose directing credits include "Seabiscuit" and "Pleasantville," seemed to have completely stepped away from the skill he had shown in those previous films. "Seabiscuit" was a truly great film and without checking Ross' resume, you would never know he was the same director who did "The Hunger Games."
This film is full of action and powerful scenes of poverty and despair as the audience is shown the state of living in District 12. But Ross decided to show only a small part of each frame as the camera whips by so fast that viewers can barely make out what we were supposed to see. After more than two hours of an action movie shot this way, we are left a little green in the face to say the least.
People walked out of the theater when it started shaking so much. The shots looked as if they had been taken out of the window of a moving car on a bumpy road from 100 yards away, so the cameraman had to zoom all the way in and try his best to hold it steady. This makes the audience look away from the screen to keep from getting sick, causing viewers to miss that small part of the frame. Plot points are missed, striking images are lost, all because of this constant poor directing choice.
Then there's Jennifer Lawrence who, in staying true to the character, came across as blank for most of the film. In the book, Katniss is introverted and we hear her thoughts. In the movie, she is just quiet and stares. It is hard to register what is going on inside her head without the narrative. Coupling that with a weak performance by Josh Hutcherson and this film is no exemption. In the male lead role, he leaves the audience wanting.
There are good parts to the film, though. Donald Sutherland plays a particularly evil president of the Capitol, and Woody Harrelson is Haymitch, a former winner and mentor to the two competitors. Perhaps the best part of the film, though, was Stanley Tucci as an over the top talk show host with over the top teeth. He gives the Capitol's perspective on "The Hunger Games" and tries to spin everything to a positive light in this teenage deathmatch.
Rated PG-13, I give this movie 3 out of 5 stars, simply because the plot is so good. But with a movie ticket at $12, this reporter would suggest spending only $10 and go pick up the book instead.

Rebellion in the 13 Colonies
Growing Restless Although successful, by 1765 the 13 colonies were growing restless under British rule They were only allowed to trade with Britain They had to pay high taxes on imported goods They wanted more control over their own affairs In 1774 the passing of the Quebec Act made things worse Ohio Valley was given to Quebec NOT the 13 Colonies In 1775 war broke out and the American Revolution had begun The Americans thought that the Canadiens would join in their fight against the British They marched into the province of Quebec, capturing Montreal – they then headed to Quebec City Do you think the Canadiens will support the Americans? Why or why not?
The United States of America
The invasion of Quebec failed – the Americans did not get the support they wanted to The Revolution did not give up, however Finally, after many years of fighting, Britain recognized the United States of America as a sovereign country in 1783 What do you think would have happened if the Province of Quebec had joined the Revolution? How would Canada have been different?
Citizens Loyal to the King
During the American Revolution, people from many different places lived in the 13 Colonies Not all of them supported the rebellion Approximately 1/3 of citizens remained loyal to Britain These people were called loyalists and made up the United Empire Loyalists United Empire Loyalists had many reasons for their opposition Did not believe in using violence Business ties with Britain Fought in the military with British regiments Enslaved African Americans seeking freedom First Nations who had lost their land to Americans
Loyalist vs. Traitor The American revolutionaries treated the loyalists as traitors Their property and possessions were taken away They were beaten, tarred and feathered and often jailed To escape this treatment, many loyalists left the 13 Colonies and fled to Canada, which was still under British control They were some of Canada's first refugees
Loyalists Head to Nova Scotia
During and following the Revolution, around 40,000 loyalists migrated to British Colonies Many travelled to Nova Scotia, as it was quite near and a short trip The influx of refugees doubled the population of the colony Britain promised to help with land and supplies to start their new life Some received land (usually those who fought for Britain) Many others received no land, however
Podcast Title/Subject Fact #1 Fact #2 OMG! Moment
Black Loyalists A large number of loyalists were slaves whose descendants had been brought from Africa They were treated worse than other Loyalists They received less land than others, and the land they did get was not good for farming Many had to work as tenant farmers Much like serfs in Medieval Europe They faced racism and discrimination
Hannah Ingram ( ) She came to New Brunswick with her family when she was 11 years old Rebel forces had taken her family's farm when her father joined a Loyalist regiment "It was a sad, sick time after we landed in Saint John. We had to live in tents. The government gave them to us, and food too. It was just at the first snow then. The melting snow and rain would soak up into our beds as we lay . . . We lived in a tent at St. Annes until father got a house ready. He went up through our lot till he found a nice fresh spring of water. He stooped down and pulled away the fallen leaves and tasted it. It was very good so there he built his house." - Hannah Ingram, "Reminiscences" Rose Fortune ( ) Rose was born into slavery in the southern United States She came as a slave with a Loyalist family She was 10 years old Rose gained her freedom in Canada and started her own business, The Lewis Transfer Company She later became the town's police officer Later in her life, she helped with the Underground Railroad to assist slaves escaping to freedom
New Colonies Many of the Loyalists were unhappy in Nova Scotia
They had endured hardship and cruelty and put up with a lot – some resented those that had not Loyalists wanted their own colony In 1784, Britain agreed by dividing the colony into two parts The western portion became New Brunswick Cape Breton Island became a separate colony Ile Saint-Jean was renamed Prince Edward Island
Loyalists Come to Quebec
Loyalists also headed to Quebec There, they lived in temporary camps until Britain helped them Most, however, did not really want to settle in Quebec Why do you think they didn't want to? The good arable land had already been taken, so Governor Frederick Haldimand agreed to give them land further west Near the upper St. Lawrence and north shore of Lake Ontario
A Fair Trade? The land given to the loyalists wasn't the Governor Haldimand's to give – it was Anishinabe land The governor bought the land in 1781 and 1783 He paid the Anishinabe in guns and other trade goods Do you think this was a fair trade? Like most First Nations, the Anishinabe believed that land was not something that could be bought or sold Perhaps they thought they were giving permission for the loyalists to use the land, not own it They may also have been scared to say no In the United States First Nations who did not willingly sell their land were forcibly removed from it
The Constitutional Act, 1791
Most Loyalists were English speakers In Quebec, they were the minority, and they wanted to keep their British heritage They wanted their own colony and institutions In 1791 the Constitutional Act divided the colony of Quebec into two parts All land west of the Ottawa River became Upper Canada (majority English) All land east of the River became Lower Canada (majority French) All rights from the Quebec Act were kept Why "lower" and "upper"?

"A glorious blend of 18th-century tradition and 21st-century technology, this winery hotel has style, views, a pool and great food"
The winery itself was architect-redesigned and modernised in 2009, making bold use of local schist. The new winery-hotel's success led to 2012's smart new wing with a further 8 rooms, a library, a chic living room and a dining room. This striking building has large glass windows overlooking the Corgo valley, cut-slate walls and wooden floors. The ethos is to use only Portuguese materials, products and produce (if possible from Douro or Porto) - from the slate to the toiletries to the goats' cheese. And speaking of food, we loved the flavours and regional specialities, and blissfully went from meal to meal in a happy daze, enhanced by the excellent home-grown wines (recommended by Jancis Robinson, no less). Otherwise, you can splash in the pool, have a massage, borrow a bicycle or take a cooking class, and the winery tour is a must. What a marvellous blend!
- Wonderful terraced setting on the slopes of the Corgo river, close to the confluence with the Douro; fab views
- Supremely comfortable rooms and facilities in both sections of the hotel; all fixtures and finishings are of the highest quality
- Delicious food and great wine - all as local as possible; they even have their own vegetable patch
- Good value, and will suit everybody from honeymooners to families
- Just a short drive from the mighty Douro itself (boat trips recommended) and there's kayaking and fishing on the Corgo river
- The (seemingly seldom used, and thus luckily relatively quiet) IP3/A24 motorway traverses the valley opposite, which does slightly blight the view
- Dinner is a set menu with at most 2 choices, and lunch is chosen from a limited menu, though you can always request alternatives
- The pool is unheated, and there's no pool bar or pool service
- We couldn't find the property that easily, but this was likely more our fault than theirs...
- The library didn't have good wine geek reference books (says my wine geek husband)

The traditional saffron-hued 15th-century farmhouse was turned into 5 comfortable rooms in 2005 by the Ribeiro family. You get romantic details like an in-built stone window seat, or a chamfered lookout with a colonnade. Bedheads are wooden, sometimes painted; colours are cosy - an antique rug might grace the floor, bird prints may cluster on walls. The Superior room is larger and occupies a corner of the farmhouse; the Suite has an additional living room. Bathrooms are tiled in aquamarine, cream or ochre.
The 2-storey building is surprisingly spacious inside, and has a large upper-floor living room with a fireplace, books and magazines leading to a balcony covered in vines for commanding views over the countryside. Adjacent is a formal dining room, with family heirlooms and photos. At the back is a small chapel room, useful for ceremonies. The staircase is adorned with hats, a detail repeated in the reception area of the 2012 New Wing.
Here you get a completely contemporary version of the traditional Douro farmhouse. Two storeys again, with the common areas - a large living room with a fireplace and honesty bar, a games room, a dining space - on the ground floor, and floor-to-ceiling windows to make the most of that valley view.
Eight smart rooms run along the angled top floor, all with excellent views and balconies, and identically decorated in white, wood, glass and precision-cut slate. The Suite has an additional living room and a larger balcony; Superior rooms are at the end of the building, so again have a larger footprint - we really enjoyed our large balcony. Super bathrooms have slate baths, double sinks, a separate loo and shower behind glass doors, and swanky hardware.
All rooms have good-quality linens and towels, a radio with iPod dock, a safe box, a hairdryer, a flat-screen TV, bathrobes, locally produced complimentary toiletries, and slippers. Those in the New Wing also have underfloor heating in the bathrooms. All can be configured as twin rooms on request, and all except the Standard rooms in the Manor House can have an additional bed or baby cot added.
Features include:
- Air conditioning
- Bathrobes
- Cots Available
- DVD player (on request)
- Extra beds
- Hairdryer
- Ipod dock
- Iron
- Phone
- Radio
- Safe box
- Satellite tv
- Slippers
- Terrace
- Toiletries
- WiFi
Breakfast, in the form of a superior continental buffet, is laid out along the counters in the dining room from 8.30am. Choose from ham, chorizo, cheese slices, local quince paste, croissants and pastries, delicious homemade pumpkin jam, marmalades, lovely fruits, honey, nuts and cereals. Eggs are cooked to order, and tea, coffee and hot chocolate are plentiful.
You're probably out and about for lunch, and can ask for a picnic to be made up with a bit of notice. If not, then tuck into a small tapas menu - those little country sausages were truly the very best I have ever eaten, rich with pork fat - or order sandwiches.
But dinner was where we began to fully appreciate the Douro region's gourmet bounty. The hotel has its own vegetable patch, and the simple set menus showcase local produce. On our first night we started with a light, smooth and creamy cabbage soup, followed by baked cod in breadcrumbs with local potatoes. My husband had the roasted goat ribs. Dessert was the most delicate of lime mousses. On the second night we feasted on hake and spinach bake, pork medallions in a port sauce, then lemon pie. Our daughter was cooked for specially - chicken escalope followed by chocolate fondant. So any special requests can be easily catered for. And of course, there's the wine...
Don't miss the winery tour. You're shown the vineyards, and the state-of-the-art facilities for wine production. The guide spoke immaculate English. There's a small shop attached should you be unable to resist a bottle of their tawny port, as we were... Note that Jancis Robinson ranked Quinta do Vallado Sousão 2009 Douro as one of the top 50 Portuguese wines. But make sure you have enough room in your luggage, as you already receive a bottle of wine and olive oil for booking through i-escape!
If you want to dine elsewhere, consider Aquapura, just 12km away, or DOC on the Douro, or try Castas & Pratas or DouroIn.
Features include:
- Bar
- Children meals
- Organic produce
- Restaurant
- Room service
- Vegetarian menu
- Take a boat tour up the beautiful and historic Douro river; the embarkation point is a 30-minute drive away
- A tour of the winery is included in the room rate, and well worth doing. They've recently upgraded all the facilities and it looks most impressive, and you get a tasting too. If you're here in season you could join in the wine treading...
- Jeep safaris are available on the property
- There are bicycles to borrow
- And kayaks to take onto the Corgo river where you can also go fishing

- Cooking classes are available with advance notice, and you learn traditional local dishes
- Have a massage in the treatment room; private yoga sessions are also available with advance notice
- Relax over chess and a glass of local port in the library or have a game of snooker in the basement

Quinta do Vallado is a great place for a family stay. The pool and gardens, boat trips down the Douro, and the opportunity to go on the wine tour or have a massage while a babysitter looks after the kids, will mean everybody in the family has a good time. Staff are unfailingly sweet to children, although the nicely set-out common spaces and long drop from the low wall aren't conducive to toddlers.
Best for:
Babies (0-1 years), Children (4-12 years)
Family friendly accommodation:
The Manor House Suite and New Wing Suite are the best option as they can fit a baby cot in the in the bedroom as well as 2 extra beds for children in the living room. The living room can alternatively fit 1 extra bed for over 12s.
Babysitters can be arranged - see Rates.
Baby listening:
Baby monitors are available on request.

- Bikes to borrow
Families Should Know:
- There are no minibars in the rooms, but you can always ask to keep perishables in the kitchen
- There's a stone wall running along the terrace, below which is a big-enough drop to be heart-stopping, so keep an eye on younger ones. And at one point, near reception, the slope of the hill and the angle of the wall don't keep parallel, so it is easy for a small child to climb up
- The pool is unfenced
- We did spend a bit of time chasing after our toddler to prevent breakages in the lounge and library

Thailand: News Releases
ADB is providing emergency assistance of $3 million to help Thailand get back on its feet in the wake of the country's worst flooding in more than half a century.
ADB is lending $170 million to build a new power plant in Thailand that will provide clean, affordable electricity to help meet the country's increasing demand for supply.
ADB will provide approximately $465 million to support the construction of a 440-megawatt hydropower plant that will supply power to energy-hungry Thailand and provide much-needed revenue to fund poverty reduction programs in the Lao People's Democratic Republic.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations is creating a new fund to finance major infrastructure projects across the region.
ADB has cut its 2011 and 2012 growth forecasts for developing Asia amid ongoing worries about weak external demand from its key trading partners.
Local currency bond markets in emerging East Asia continued to expand in the first half of this year as demand from foreign investors increased, with the region's economic growth set to outpace much of the rest of the world.
Emerging Asia's capital markets have shown great resilience over the past year, but the recent sharp sell-offs in response to economic uncertainty in the US and eurozone underscore the need for stronger policies to boost investor confidence and reduce excessive volatility, says a new report from ADB.
Countries in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) are poised to move the GMS Economic Cooperation Program into a second generation of initiatives over the next ten years.
Key development partners of the Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Cooperation Program met senior officials of the GMS countries to discuss support for the new Strategic Framework 2012-22 that will guide the program over the next decade.
Representatives of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) countries reaffirmed their continued support for regional cooperation on biodiversity conservation and environmental management.

Compounding the frustration of city business owners was the short notice they received of the restriction which limited trucks to 75 per cent of their maximum freight.
"Am I annoyed? Of course I'm annoyed," said Yellowknife Co-Op general manager Ben Walker, who was notified of the restrictions on Wednesday, a day before it came into effect. "For the consumer, maybe nothing goes up. But our Co-op members will pay for this. It comes out of their pocket."
Walker said the Yellowknife Co-Op's freighting costs for groceries spiked by 34 per cent as a result of the restrictions because more trucks were needed to fulfill the store's supply needs.

Add Convera to the growing list of search vendors targeting the public sector. Last week, the company launched a free search engine for government professionals, becoming the third recent entrant in the government search market.
In January, Vivisimo and Microsoft revamped the government's official search portal, FirstGov. In June, Google introduced a free Web site for searching federal, state and local government sites via its trademark interface. Neither Google's site nor Convera's new site, called govmine, is affiliated with the government.
Kurt Gastrock, Convera's chief operating officer, said govmine's innards differentiate it from Google's site, which relies on an analysis of links between Web sites to determine an individual page's ranking. Govmine's results are based on pattern recognition and semantic technology.
"We're not just capturing keywords or character strings," Gastrock said. "We're capturing the meaning."
"We don't fear a delay now, but we fear there is potential [for one] if the strike goes on," said William Cunnane, head of GSA's Office of Network Services. "It's really a moving target right now."
If the strikes by the employees at four of the seven regional Bell companies continue, the initial phase of the FTS 2000 transition may not be greatly affected.
7 years ago: DOD: Face Y2K on your own
Although many government agencies have assumed the Defense Department will handle any crises caused by the Year 2000 problem, DOD officials said this month that they do not plan to respond to all requests for help from state and local civilian authorities.
DOD adopted the position in an Aug. 12 message sent to all the military services by the Army's Director of Military Support (DOMS) at the Pentagon. DOMS has been charged with supporting civilian authorities under the DOD Year 2000 Management Plan.
The message followed similar guidance issued by Deputy Secretary of Defense John Hamre.
1 year ago: Sun narrowly escapes GSA delisting
The General Services Administration almost pulled Sun Microsystems' products from the popular GSA schedule contracts during the peak federal buying season because of a spat over prices.
In late July, GSA notified the 14 resellers on the information technology schedule that within 30 days they would no longer be authorized to offer Sun products to federal customers.
The agency granted Sun a reprieve Aug. 14 after the company agreed to drop some of its prices. A routine government audit had found that Sun offered better discounts to some commercial customers than to the government.

The European Parliament's team of negotiators in the fisheries reform claim that progress has been brought to a halt by the failure of the Council to compromise. The European Parliament's negotiator, Ulrike Rodust, on Tuesday warned: "Collapse of the reform talks with the Council is a real danger."
Representatives from the EU governments meet in the morning 2 May to discuss the fisheries reform negotiations between Council and Parliament. The Irish presidency seeks support for a mandate to compromise with the European Parliament. However, a large number of member states have shown reluctance to depart from the Council's position as agreed in the general approach.
If Council and Parliament cannot reach a genuine compromise agreement, "the Parliament may have to press for a second reading. Better no deal now than a bad deal for the next ten years," Ulrike Rodust said according to a press release.
The Irish presidency downplays the differences between the Parliament and the Council on crucial issues such as ending overfishing and ending discards.
However, a group of MEPs this week wrote an open letter to EU governments highlighting that there is a real difference between ending overfishing 2015 (Parliament position) and doing it only "where possible" without even defining what is meant by "possible" (Council position). While the Parliament majority has voted for a complete discard ban, the Council wants to reduce discards to nine percent of total catches. The MEPs urged governments to strive to find middle ground.
220 Spanish scientists, coming from more than 50 universities, research centers and scientific associations have addressed an open letter to the Spanish fisheries minister, Arias Cañete, asking for a change in Spain's previous position on the European Common Fisheries Policy. The scientists "are in favor of establishing a fishing mortality based on the existing biomass and set temporary goals that are as accurate as possible for the recovery of the stocks, a position better reflected in the current proposal by the European Parliament."
A coalition of environmental NGOs on Tuesday issued a statement expressing "concern about the threat of delays or the possible collapse of negotiations on EU fisheries reform."
"A number of countries, including France, Spain, Poland, Lithuania, Greece and Romania, are resisting efforts to find common ground with the European Parliament on key issues such as fleet management and discards. Coveney must not give in to these short-sighted positions but instead re-double his efforts to win agreement with all fisheries ministers for an ambitious reform," the NGOs wrote.

Dynafit One PX TF Ski Boot: The ONE boot line combines the features of Dynafit's lightweight TLT 5 boots with the features of the Vulcan/Mercury big-mountain boots: downhill performance with 60 degree cuff rotation for skinning back up. One boots also feature a Thermoformable liner, Pebax shell, Ultra lock buckle system, rockered sole and central buckle system for maximum heel retention. Weight 1490 g (size 27.5)
The One PX - TF boot from Dynafit is the perfect choice for all ski tourers looking for the lightest and best performing boot in its category. Its unique features are the Ultra lock buckle system for one movement cuff closure and ski to walk mode change, a short and rockered sole, and the central buckle system for maximum heel retention and superior downhill performance.

Long, rewarding backcountry laps become the norm once you feel this boot's balanced mix of comfort and lightweight materials. On the uphill, you can achieve 60 degrees of rotation for long, efficient strides while the rockered, sticky Dynafit Pro outsole secures your advance on the skin track or boot pack.

OK- cheesy- but it really is. I converted to the TLT-5s last year and loved them. However- they weren't quite as stiff as I would have liked for some skiing out here in the east. These boots dial it pretty much just right- they have %80 of the touring ability as the TLT-5s with I'd say 30-40% more stiffness.
I still use the TLT-5s for pretending I'm a lycra clad rando racer but for the rest of the time I use these boots and find that they allow me to do more on the downhill. They also have never given me blisters. I've had problems with BD boots in the past that were properly sized and molded but still gave blisters if they weren't tightened in touring mode. I just did some long days with these boots into the 10th mtn huts and my feet were the one of the only ones in the group that didn't look like they'd been through a pencil grinder.
My only complaint is that they are actually surprisingly cold. I find my TLT-5s are warmer (strange- I know) but I have warm feet so this isn't a deal breaker.
I use them on 176 BD Drifts and 176 BD Stigmas with Dynafit TLT Radicals and Dynafit TLT Speed Radicals. I've got average feet, 27.5, and weigh 165 at 5'11''. I'd say an advanced skier but not a cliff hucker.
+: Stiff, comfy on long tours, amazing touring mode, love the soles for hiking around the hard granite of the White Mountains
-: Strangely seem a little cold, wish there was a little more rocker in the forefoot for walking (though understand this would make them not compatible with Fritschis so I guess worth it).
I finally had chance to use my new One PX boots today at Solitude; I'm very happy with how they drive my Drift 176 skis. We had ~8" of fresh powder today. The jury is still out WRT deeper and steeper but so far I have to say the One PX is a keeper. The only problem I had was with pre-release due to ice build up in the toe fitting. I'm using Radical ST bindings. Instructions say rotate the toe several times after clamping in to clear the ice but it doesn't work. I plan to start carrying a pick to clear the toe holes.
This is a great touring boot for those looking for a little more on the way down. I split them with my Dad, and we are both very happy with them. He has a wider foot (Size 11) and went with the 28.5. I dont have any experience with other Dynafit boots, so take it for what its worth. We have these paired with Dynafit Stokes 191 and they are very light! We are both around 6ft.
Great fit, great price & great performance. Extremely comfortable forefoot, but also a very secure heel fit. No blisters or black toenails! I've been skiing in Garmonts for years and this boot fits me much better. I ski 105-110mm skis in the Wasatch and the performance is superb. Really don't need any beefier of a boot, even when skiing in resort. The single upper cuff buckle is very simple and functional.
One of my favorite current production boots. No issues with the liner. I get a really good fit and easy to mold. Love the progressive flex of this boot and up right stance. Great tour mode. Solid enough to ski 115mm under foot. This is the sleeper in the Dynafit line. Only a TLT or full race boot going to hike/skin as well
Previous comments are all spot on. The only question I would have is the spoiler on my pair is not adjustable as it is riveted in place, but then again maybe I'm missing something here. I'd also agree with the flex rating the previous poster provided. These boots have performed as described.
I cant believe Dynafit would make such a great shell and ruin it with such a terrible liner. Across the board when trying to sell this boot people trying them on winced in pain when using the Dynafit Stock liner, and then saw butterflies and unicorns when using my Intuition liner that I had to buy separately to make this boot work. Dynafit 60 degrees of cuff rotation is awesome but make a better liner, do not make your customer buy something after market right off the bat. In Europe you cannot even buy Dynafit boots with their liner, boot fitters will not sell them to you because they are so bad.

HARRISBURG -- The retirement benefits that state legislators have designed for themselves may strike many of their constituents as too good to be true.
Yesterday: Series of decisions created looming funding crisis.
Tomorrow: Thousands of municipal pensions add to taxpayers' obligations.
Wednesday: Retiree health care costs, not yet tallied, add billions in cost.
Thursday: With options limited, taxpayers likely to take hit.
After just five years they vest in a system that guarantees them a monthly check for life, and their health-care costs are subsidized for the rest of their lives.
They can take early retirement, but by age 50 -- a decade earlier than most state workers -- they can retire with full benefits.
With pension costs expected to skyrocket in the next five years, and the state facing difficult decisions on how to cope with those increases, The Associated Press examined how state lawmakers are faring in the system.
The terms of legislative pensions are considerably better than what most of the 200,000 workers and retirees in the state retirement system get. But the structure of the retirement system -- a check a month for life -- is something that fewer and fewer of the people they represent will see when they stop working.
Records obtained through a Right-to-Know Law request showed 104 retired lawmakers on the pension rolls collecting an average of $30,000-plus a year after having put in an average 17 years in the Legislature.
Since their retirement plans offer some of the most generous terms, Pennsylvania lawmakers will likely find themselves in an awkward position in the coming years as pressure mounts to deal with soaring public pension costs.
Any structural changes to the state pension systems would almost certainly have to involve their own benefits.
"They definitely would be dealing against their own interests," said James A. Perry, executive director of the Pennsylvania Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems. "But I think if they take an honest, hard look at it, they should realize they've either got to come up with some more money or they're going to have to do something about benefits."
In 2012, the cost of subsidizing pensions for state workers and school employees is expected to jump from less than $1 billion to more than $3 billion a year. The increase is being driven in part by big increases lawmakers approved five years ago for everyone, including themselves. State workers and teachers received a 25 percent pension boost, most legislators a 50 percent hike.
Legislative critics say lawmakers' own personal stake in the benefits issue will make it much harder for them to deal with the pending pension crisis.
"The evidence of that is that it's taken them five years to come to grips with the issue," said Tim Potts, co-founder of Democracy Rising PA, a group advocating legislative reforms in the wake of the Pennsylvania Legislature's embarrassing withdrawal last year of a pay raise for its members.
As discussion has turned to the need to rein in public pension costs, public-employee unions have already begun pulling out a trump card: the Legislature's own superior retirement plan.
Pennsylvania's pension system for state workers contains many features that other states do not have. But lawmakers' pensions offer particularly generous terms.
Nearly all lawmakers (some refused the 2001 boost) are now entitled to collect 3 percent of their peak salary for each year of service, compared with 2.5 percent for teachers and most others in the state workers' retirement system. In other words, someone who was making about $60,000 before he retired after 20 years in the Legislature would qualify for a pension of about $36,000 a year.
Legislators in office before the system was revamped in 1974 are credited for 7.5 percent of top pay for each year they work.
Complete figures on legislative benefits are not available, because some lawmakers have gone to work for other state agencies or the court system after leaving the General Assembly.
But records from the state employee pension fund listed 104 legislative retirees on the rolls, with an average monthly payout of $2,600 and an average cash withdrawal at retirement of $72,000. Like all participants in the retirement system, when they retire they are allowed to take out all the money that was withheld from their paychecks, plus 4 percent interest.
Senate President Pro Tem Robert C. Jubelirer, R-Blair, defeated in the primary and leaving after 32 years in the Legislature, could reap an amount nearly equal to his 2006 salary of $113,000, depending which retirement option he selects.
His pension is likely to exceed the $4,600 a month that former Rep. Jere W. Schuler, R-Lancaster, collects for his 46 years of state-pension system credits -- the most years of service among the 104.
Mr. Jubelirer may even surpass the largest legislative pension among the 104 in the database, the $7,600 a month that goes to Republican U.S. Rep. Joseph A. Pitts.
Before Mr. Pitts left for Congress in 1996, he put in 24 years as a state representative from Chester County; he had also served as a teacher and in the military, both categories that boost state government pensions.
At the other end of the longevity scale is former Rep. Clark S. Smith, R-Adams, who gets nearly $5,000 a year for the single term he spent in the House in the mid-1970s.
The list of retired lawmakers collecting state pensions includes several forced out due to criminal convictions. Rep. Jeff Habay, R-Shaler, took early retirement at age 39 in February the day he was sentenced to six months to one year in a halfway house for having his legislative staff campaign on state time.
Mr. Habay, with just under 12 years in office, has a monthly pension of $850 and was able to withdraw $50,000 in cash.
In part because their salaries were much higher, former lawmakers collect about $1,200 more in monthly pension payments than the average Pennsylvania state government retiree, with about five years less service on average.
The private-public sector comparison is even more stark.
Just 7 percent of nongovernmental pensions are larger than $30,000, national statistics show, but 66 of the 104 lawmakers receiving state retirement benefits are currently collecting at least that much.

- During First World War combat in France MacArthur commanded the 42nd ("Rainbow") Division with the temporary rank of Brigadier General. Following the war he was Superintendent of the Military Academy and had two tours of duty in the Philippines.
- General of the Army Douglas MacArthur (26 January 1880 – 5 April 1964) was an American general and field marshal of the Philippine Army who was Chief of Staff of the United States Army during the 1930s and played a prominent role in the Pacific theater during World War II. He received the Medal of Honor for his service in the Philippines Campaign, which made him and his father Arthur MacArthur, Jr., the first father and son to be awarded the medal. He was one of only five men ever to rise to the rank of General of the Army in the U.S. Army, and the only man ever to become a field marshal in the Philippine Army.[1]
Medal of Honor Recipient
- MacARTHUR, DOUGLAS
- Rank and organization: General, U.S. Army, commanding U.S. Army Forces in the Far East. Place and date: Bataan Peninsula, Philippine Islands. Entered service at: Ashland, Wis. Birth: Little Rock, Ark. G.O. No.: 16, 1 April 1942.
- Citation: For conspicuous leadership in preparing the Philippine Islands to resist conquest, for gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action against invading Japanese forces, and for the heroic conduct of defensive and offensive operations on the Bataan Peninsula. He mobilized, trained, and led an army which has received world acclaim for its gallant defense against a tremendous superiority of enemy forces in men and arms. His utter disregard of personal danger under heavy fire and aerial bombardment, his calm judgment in each crisis, inspired his troops, galvanized the spirit of resistance of the Filipino people, and confirmed the faith of the American people in their Armed Forces.
