Lindsay Lohan believes Charlie Sheen is in the midst of a "life or death situation" ... and has told friends she's "thrilled" that he's checked himself into a rehab center.
Sources close to Lohan tell us ... Lindsay is "worried" about Sheen because his most recent bender shows "obvious signs of addiction" ... something Lindsay knows about all too well.
But after Sheen decided to check himself into a treatment center Friday afternoon, Lohan is confident he can get his life back together ... if he commits himself to sobriety.
We're told Lindsay "understands the problem of having the wrong people around and wants Charlie to understand that he needs to surround himself with positive, sober people."
They can do Inferno together. He likes his porn stars and she is like a drug addict too ! It bet it would win an oscar. Because they'd be playing themselves.
Lol! Alotta truth to that Barbie!!
These two are no good together, disastrous. Plus I don't think Lindsay ever partied hard enough for the likes of Sheen.
Lindsay just shut up, you look ridiculous trying to be rational about someone else's situation when you are a wreck yourself.
Charlie is lucky he is WHITE/Hispanic. If he were black he'd been fired by CBS by now and in jail for the coke incident.
Does LL even know CS? If not,why comment on someone else? LL is always whining about her privacy. Respect his. STFU.
60 arrests Martin Sheen, your parents from Spain, do you simply hate America? You breed criminals that abuse women, Martin Sheen are you deficating on the Red White and Blue? You were addicted to heroin yourself Marty for 8 years, trickle down theory? Oh right we're talking about Charlie Sheen not his heroin addict 60 arrests father.
Nice voice Marty, voice actor. I've got some words for you Marty. Your a dirty heroin addict and so is your son. Pontificate that.
Lindsay is just happy to see another celebrity who is almost as messed up as she is.
Almost as messed up. Charlie has yet to do a 100-mph run down the Pacific Coast highway with kidnapped victims.
If she really said that, I'm sorry but you are the last person to be giving him advice. At such a early state of recovery you need to concentrate on yourself. Remember she only surendered after she was put there by the legal system. Thank God,she did. charlie has been sober off and on since his teens, he knows the program all too well.He needs to want to get help or nothing will stand in his way. Too bad he can't be commited long term legally by the state or his family.Long term is his only chance at survival, in my opinion.It's not like he can't afford to get the help he needs with no financial hardships.The question is, can he afford not to ? I think not.Someone must be able to get through to him. The last time it was his father, hopefully, that will work. God, bless.
Who's gives a **** about Lindsay Lohan...? When is the last time this girl did anything even close to being relevant? I also find it hilarious she not is a drug addict, and yet are giving others advise on how to live their lives.
In case you noticed Lindsay, you are the biggest joke in society. The days of the Parent Trap and Mean Girls is loooong gone.
Why does some douche always have to mention race with Charlie?
He's at least half hispanic and it doesn't matter what color he is.. he gets away with all of this because he is stinking, filthy rich.
Money lets him get away with all the drugs and pornstars... anybody else would be arrested for the nuisance value.
P.S. Lindsay will be back behind bars soon.
She is not "sober". She is doing whatever to stay out of jail. Sobriety is the last thing she craves. Mark my words.

About Chelyen Davis:
Chelyen Davis is health reporter for The Free Lance-Star
With their noncompetes about to expire, optometrists are planning to return to Fredericksburg
Dr. Myron Wasiuta and Dr. Bradley Church will soon be free to return to Fredericksburg and plan to do so next month.
The two optometrists took out a newspaper ad this week to announce the opening of a new office on Charles Street in Fredericksburg. They will begin seeing patients there on Oct. 1.
"It's been a long time in coming," Wasiuta said.
Church and Wasiuta left the Fredericksburg area in 2009 after working for many years at Access Eye Centers in Spotsylvania County. The noncompete clause in their employment contracts prohibited them from opening a new practice in Fredericksburg, so they moved to Culpeper and started Total Eye. That three-year contract restriction expires later this month.
Wasiuta said he and Church plan to continue to see patients in Culpeper and will split time between the two offices.
"We've had patients that have been asking us when we're coming back," Wasiuta said. "We wanted to get back as soon as we can so they don't have to make any more unnecessary trips to Culpeper."
A Free Lance-Star story on noncompete clauses published last year featured Wasiuta and Church and their colleague, Dr. Sandra Grossett. Grossett left Access Eye after Church and Wasiuta did and works with them in Culpeper. She said yesterday that she plans to return to Fredericksburg in January, after her noncompete clause expires.
(The 2011 story about noncompetes and the three optometrists is here.)

OK so the subdomain could be an empty folder, but the problem is I need a 404 to be returned when just 'www.domain.com' is enterered on its own as well. That is where the redirects came into play.
I quite like the idea of returning a 410 Gone, although I can't really help out my visitors with that.

"This invitation was perfect for my winter wonderland January wedding! we personalized with the light blue font for our names and it looked AMAZING! We received a ton of compliments on this invitation and couldn't be any happier"
"These arrived last night and I'm simply thrilled with the result.They are for my upcoming winter wedding at a ski resort in British Columbia. I went with rounded edges and paid to have the glossed finished! Perfect!"
"I bought this invitation for my upcoming winter wedding. I adore the way it turned out. I did the dark with lighter writing and payed the little extra to get the shimmer added which gives it that little extra something. :) Also, the size of the cards is more for postage...I ran into 20 cents more per invite..not too bad really."
"This is the perfect invite for me and my fiance's January wedding! It is going to set the night of a cozy, elegant black tie affair. I have used Wedding Paper Divas for all my wedding needs and will continue to use them!"
"This card could be customized, and the pattern was very elegant and classy. The card stock was fabulous, and the invitations actually arrived almost five days ahead of schedule, which was great! A great product and great experience!"

WHILE THE annual angst was swirling around college football coaches and fans, a more important issue continued to play out in regard to West Virginia University's athletic program.
Specifically, the issue of the program's conference affiliation.
You might recall from a Jan. 25 Gazette story, Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas said he'd like to "make the record clear for folks in West Virginia."
He gave it a stab by saying his conference has "a schedule with West Virginia" and that it has "a contractual commitment with our television partners that we must release a schedule by Feb. 1 and we will do that."
As of late evening Wednesday, Feb. 1, however, no schedule had been released - at least to the fans, media, etc. Calls and an email to Big 12 associate commissioner Bob Burda were made and around 8 p.m. a reply was received. Said it:
"The Big 12 Conference has provided a 10-team 2012 football schedule to its television partners and expects to release it publicly in the near future."
The mention of 10 teams means the schedule sent to TV partners Fox and ABC/ESPN includes WVU and TCU.
The delay is curious, however, considering the certainty of Neinas and his statements. The obvious conclusion is the delay is linked to WVU's dueling lawsuits with the Big East. As you surely know, the Mountaineers are attempting to flee the Big East for the Big 12 in time for next season.
One source in the know, however, said it would be a mistake to assume the delay is totally driven by WVU's situation. So there might be issues with other schools. Perhaps the TV partners want to move games around.
When reached Wednesday, WVU athletic director Oliver Luck said he couldn't "comment on that. It's an issue for the [Big 12] conference."
In regard to the legal issue, Monongalia Circuit Judge Russell Clawges basically allowed WVU to retain its half of a home court advantage, refusing to put the school's lawsuit against the Big East on hold while the league's suit plays out in Rhode Island. So nothing has changed there.
It's just a bit curious. One source said the schedule could be released on the Big 12's website today or Friday. One report said the Big 12 would release its schedule next week. Mediation ordered by a Rhode Island judge, however, isn't scheduled until Feb. 9.
If, by the way, you've wondered how the Big East is handling the scheduling issue, a call was placed to the league's associate commissioner, John Paquette. He was asked when the Big East schedules were forthcoming.
After a long pause, he answered.
"Did you hear the silence?" he said. "That's because I'm not sure yet. We don't have a particular date."
The Big 12 has shown that to be its case as well.
While Luck was on the line, I asked about his rumored candidacy in regard to the Big 12 commissioner position. Neinas has been serving on an interim basis.
"I'd rather be on the search committee," Luck said.
He was asked point-blank if he's interested in the Big 12 job.

The Broncos on Wednesday were assigned defensive tackle DeMario Pressley from Indianapolis.
The N.C. State product appeared in one game with the Houston Texans last season — which just so happened to be against the Broncos in Week 16.
Originally a fifth-round draft pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2008, Pressley missed his rookie season after being placed on injured reserve in late July.
The 6-foot-3, 301-pound lineman played in seven games for the Saints in 2009, notching 15 tackles during the regular season and two more in the postseason run to Super Bowl XLIV.

Can I substitute flax seed meal or rice flour for the wheat flour? If so, how much would I use to substitte for the 1 1/4 cups of flour?
Posted by: Unknown | December 5, 2012 12:33 PM Report this comment
I saw this recipe and had to try it. I love dates and pumpkin and was having company. Here are my comments: I doubled the spices (cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg) used 1/2 the amount xanthan gum, used regular GF oats as I didn't have "quick", used muscovado sugar which is lower in sugar, higher in minerals and has a molasses taste, in part because I was out of molasses. Added 1 tablespoon of honey. Everyone loved them. I think we could have reduced sugar even more. They have a gingerbread taste which was wonderful. Will make again! Happy Cooking! Sueson Vess

Assign a first-year temporary adviser: Assign new students a temporary faculty adviser until students and faculty can be paired, based on stated interests. Meet with advisees at least one a semester to review course selections and departmental requirements and to answer questions that arise.
Peer mentoring programs: To ease the transition to student life, pair first-year students with more advanced students who share similar interests.
Creating community: To establish a collegial atmosphere in which students and faculty can interact informally, it is helpful to designate a space, such as a lounge for this purpose. Many departments also host social events to which graduate students, faculty, staff and families are invited.
Professional socialization: Invite student participation on departmental committees so students can learn how their discipline operates.
Develop a mentoring policy: A department can construct a written policy explicitly stating that mentoring is part of the educational experience graduate students receive in their programs.

Fans of the Festival
We asked some of our audience members, schools, performers and volunteers what it is that they love most about the City of London Festival, and why they keep coming back year after year...
I have been a huge fan of the City of London Festival for nine years, after meeting a complete stranger on the tube who told me all about it. I am most excited by the astonishing array of musical talent from all corners of the world, the ever-increasing number of free events each year (I attended 21 last year!), the opportunity to attend concerts in many of the city's ancient buildings, and the extraordinary educational opportunities created by Ian Ritchie and his team for young Londoners. I am now hoping to apply to be a volunteer steward at some of the events.
I've been involved in City of London Festival Photography for the last 6 years, documenting most of the indoor and outdoor events. The atmosphere is just brilliant and even a few drops of rain now and then can't spoil the celebrations. It is, without a doubt, the highlight of the year for me. Every year the Festival presents young and talented artists as well as more established ones who perform in very special venues around the City. Capturing those moments and presenting them to a bigger audience is a real privilege. Every year, more and more people gather for the outdoor events...when I see the happy faces of tourists and City workers enjoying themselves, I know that I am part of something special!
Having played in the first City of London Festival in 1962 it is a particular honour to be invited back for this 50th anniversary festival, and an opportunity to present an exciting and varied programme which also reflects the guitar in 19th century London and the present. Needless to say, the lovely guild halls and many other traditional spaces have great atmosphere for music
I am a great supporter of CoLF, mainly because of the wonderful experiences it has provided for our children over the years. From working with a Brazilian Percussionist to form a Samba band from recycled materials through to performing the haka with the Maori elders on the steps of St. Paul's, these opportunities have provided our children with memories they will keep for the rest of their lives. Thank you for continuing to involve us in these fantastic projects.
Fifty years ago I had the pleasure of conducting Berlioz in the very first City of London Festival in 1962 in the presence of HM The Queen. Since that time I have returned on many occasions with the London Symphony Orchestra to conduct concerts in St Paul's Cathedral. The Festival has now established itself as one of the most significant in the country. I am delighted to be returning with the LSO to conduct the opening concerts of the 2012 Festival, marking the Festival's Golden Jubilee with performances of the Berlioz Requiem - a work ideally suited to the grandeur of the Cathedral and the special occasion of this anniversary.
Stewarding at The City of London Festival for the past ten years has been our privilege. It gives us the opportunity to hear wonderful music, played to a very high standard in fabulous locations. Working with such a dedicated and friendly team is a pleasure as is meeting members of the audience many of whom return year after year.
It has been a pleasure for the Plaisterers' Company to host Festival Concerts in our Hall. We know that the performances will be of the highest standard and hugely enjoyable. That combined with our superb plasterwork makes the whole experience unforgettable.
I got involved in the Festival programme last Summer through Age Concern. I attended three concerts, which I thoroughly enjoyed... Both the music and the venues were superb.
Since the Festival's inception, the LSO has greatly enjoyed the opportunity to perform in the extraordinary venues at the heart of the City of London - from Berlioz Requiem and Mahler 8 in St Paul's Cathedral, to performances in The Guildhall and The Mansion House, and chamber recitals in livery halls. The Festival offers a unique opportunity for people to explore the hidden gems of the City, and to be stimulated and challenged by the artistic programmes they encounter in these special spaces.

The budding SharePoint vendor landscape
Posted by: Christine Herbert
With only about 40 exhibitors and sponsors at this year's Microsoft SharePoint Conference, the vendor presence at this show is definitely smaller than what I'm used to seeing at flagship Microsoft conferences like TechEd. But this young third-party market is ripe with opportunity for vendors with the vision to see what the SharePoint space will be a few years from now. Smart third-party vendors should start building reputation and momentum within the SharePoint community now to get ahead of the curve, in my opinion.
One large company that is placing early bets on SharePoint is Quest Software. It is the largest sponsor of this week's SharePoint conference in Seattle, and also offers the most third-party products that help SharePoint administrators and developers with design, implementation, migration and management challenges. The company has been actively pursuing SharePoint product acquisitions for a couple of years now, with two new acquisitions just last year. With nine SharePoint-specific products, it is obviously betting on a big pot of gold being at the end of the SharePoint rainbow — and I think it may be right.
There are a lot of smaller vendors in the SharePoint market right now. But if this space acts at all similar to the email-archiving market a few years ago – which I believe it will — we should expect to see smaller companies with innovative tools being bought by larger SharePoint players until we eventually see a handful of best-of-breed options in the market. This will likely play out over the next two to three years.
I am surprised that I haven't seen a player like Symantec get into the game yet, but the market is still young. Cisco and HP have a presence at this year's Microsoft SharePoint Conference though, so maybe the big honchos are starting to recognize the opportunity. We'll have to watch and see what happens.

There's no shortage of things to do for children at Glastonbury. The Kidz Field is a huge kids' festival within the Festival featuring top names from the world of children's entertainment and loads of activities – from a knee trembling helter skelter to colourful softplay – for kids of all ages. Click here for more information. The Green Kids Area – situated in the Green Fields – offers adventures on climbing walls and wooden ships as well as alternative entertainment and activities. In the Theatre and Circus Fields, there are lots of workshops welcoming children and many morning shows will tickle their fancies.
There are two Family Camping Fields: the Cockmill Meadow near the Kidz Field and a new area on the north-west of the site at Wicket Ground. Families do not need a special ticket to camp in the Family fields, but it is not possible to reserve space in advance (and they can fill up quickly).
Anyone heading for the family campsite by the Acoustic field should take the Purple Route into the Festival.
Click for tips from the mother of a toddler on bringing kids to Glastonbury.
- Bring plenty of sunscreen and waterproofs - and don't forget a sunhat.
- A nice strong but snuggly rug/blanket is essential. It's great to sit on during the day and great to wrap them up in during the evening, as is plastic sheet to sit on if it gets wet.
- A wheelbarrow, off-road pushchair, bike trailer buggy or other form of push/pull impromptu transportation for young children is useful. Not only can it help you cart about all that you need to cater for every child-related eventuality, it will also relieve those inevitably tired little legs. The Festival site is massive, kids will get tired and unless you are happy to carry them for a long time, you need some transport.
- Bring plenty of carton drinks. They are cheap, easy to carry and you can leave a tray in the car for later. There is plenty of access to drinkable tap water so bringing dilutable squash is another option.
- Avoid a trek to the toilets in the dead of the night by bringing a bucket with a tight fitting lid (you may find it useful too!).
- A first aid kit (with Savlon, plasters, wipes, waspese, midge repellant, calpol, etc) is essential.
- Bring biodegradable wet wipes - they are useful for everything from your daily wash, wiping hands before eating and wiping bums.
- If you have a formula fed baby, then invest in those bottles that use disposible liner bags (the sort you use for freezing breast milk) and a load of ready mixed formula milk in cartons. If your child is a little older compromise any healthy eating morals and get prepared tins (glass is banned on site). For older kids, bring plenty of breakfast bars. It will save on washing up, save a load of cash for better things and they also come in handy for the bedtime "I'm hungry" calls.
- There are quieter, less crowded family camping areas for those with young children. See the camping pages for more information.
Big crowds can be daunting for children, to avoid separating from them, give your kids the same advice you would if you were anywhere else: don't go off with strangers or anyone without telling you first. If they get lost, have them ask for help from a policeman, a security steward, any Festival staff with a radio, another adult with children, or one of the Information Points or market gates.
It's really helpful if children have their parent's mobile number on them - write it in marker pen on your child's arm, so we can contact you, but not their name. If you don't have a phone just the name of the field you are camped in is helpful.
If you lose your children ask for advice at any Information Point, or from any Festival official. Found kids are looked after at the Kidz Field until 8pm. They are then taken to Waggonshed Welfare, by the Farmhouse.
There are no creche facilities at the Festival. You should make arrangements within your group of friends and partners for someone to be supervising your children at all times, even in the Kidz Field. The Kidz Field is one of the nicest fields on the festival site - make sure all you big kidz take a few minutes to appreciate it too.

Minister without portfolio
A minister without portfolio is either a government minister with no specific responsibilities or a minister who does not head a particular ministry. The sinecure is particularly common in countries ruled by coalition governments and a cabinet with decision making authority wherein a minister without portfolio, while he or she may not head any particular office or ministry, does have the right to cast a vote in cabinet decisions. The position is usually appointed upon significant monetary contribution to the political party in power. In some countries where the executive branch is not composed of a coalition of parties and, more often, in countries with purely presidential systems of government, such as the United States, the position (or an equivalent position) of minister without portfolio is uncommon.

Bangladesh appoints ministers without portfolio during cabinet reshuffles or fresh appointments. Ministers are not usually appointed without portfolio as a coalition negotiation – all long run ministers end up with a portfolio.
Current ministers without portfolio, appointed on 28 November 2011,[1] are:
While Minister without Portfolio is seen by some as a mere patronage appointment, it has been a role that numerous political notables have played over time, including former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, who filled the role in a Pearson cabinet in the 1960s; John Turner also "kept a seat warm" in a Pearson cabinet. Notable Conservatives who filled the role include R. B. Bennett, and Arthur Meighen; however, Meighen served this role after he had been prime minister.
The title of Minister without Portfolio has been used off and on; however, in recent times the title has fallen out of favour, and the last minister without portfolio, Gilles Lamontagne, was promoted to postmaster general in 1978. The practice has continued under the guise of ministers of state without responsibilities in the ministers' title.
Three "control ministers" served as Ministers without Portfolio during World War I.
After the Liberation of Denmark in May 1945, the first Danish cabinet included four Ministers without Portfolio. Among these were Danish ambassador to the U.S. Henrik Kauffmann who had conducted his own foreign policy throughout the war and refused to follow orders from Copenhagen as long as Denmark remained occupied by a foreign power. Kauffmann served in this capacity from 12 May to 7 November 1945. The three other holders of this title had joined the cabinet a few days before; Aksel Larsen (Communist Party of Denmark), Kr. Juul Christensen (Danish Unity) and Frode Jakobsen (Social Democrats).
Lise Østergaard held a position as Minister without Portfolio with special attention to Foreign Policy Issues in Anker Jørgensen's cabinet from 26 February 1977 to 28 February 1980.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen appointed Bertel Haarder to Minister without Portfolio but effectively Minister for European Affairs. Haarder served in this capacity from 27 November 2001 to 18 February 2005. The reason for appointing a minister without a ministry was the Danish European Union Presidency of 2002. Haarder was considered the most experienced Danish politician on European Affairs.
- Hermann Göring (1933)
- Rudolf Hess
- Arthur Seyss-Inquart (1939–1945)
- Hjalmar Schacht (1939–1943)
Since 1949, a Federal Minister for Special Affairs (Bundesminister für besondere Aufgaben) is a member of the Federal Government that does not have charge of a Federal Ministry, although some have simultaneously been Chief of the Federal Chancellor's Office.
Iceland does not have ministers without portfolio.
The Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Act, 1939 (Section 4) allows a member of the Government of Ireland not to have charge of a Department of State; such a person is referred to as a "Minister without portfolio" (Irish: Aire gan Cúram Roinne[2]). Such a minister may nevertheless be given a specific title. The only substantive minster without portfolio has been Frank Aiken, the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defensive Measures during World War II.[3] By the Emergency Powers Act 1939 then in force, the Minister for Defence was able to delegate some competences to him.[4][5] Such delegation is now done instead[citation needed] with Ministers of State: "junior ministers" who are not members of the government. Junior ministers can be given a right to sit at cabinet; they are often known colloquially as "super-juniors." This allows the Government to circumvent the Constitutional limit on the number of Senior Ministers.
On several occasions a minister has been appointed to an incoming government with the title of a new Department of State. Between the date of appointment and the date of creation of the department, such a minister was technically a minister without portfolio.[6] Examples include:
Title | Govt | Minister | Appt to govt | Dept created | Dept |
Minister of Economic Planning and Development | 21st Dáil | Martin O'Donoghue | 8 July 1977[7][8] | 13 December 1977[9][10] | Department of Economic Planning and Development |
Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform | 31st Dáil | Brendan Howlin | 9 March 2011[11] | 6 July 2011[12][13] | Department of Public Expenditure and Reform |
It is common practice in Israel to appoint ministers without portfolio as part of the coalition negotiations. All cabinets in recent years have had at least some such appointment. The full alphabetical list of Ministers without Portfolio since 1949 is:
In the Italian government, Ministers without Portfolio are nominated by the President of the Council of Ministers (Prime Minister) and formally appointed by the President of the Republic to lead particular departments directly under the Presidency (or Presidium) of the Council of Ministers. Unlike the office of State Undersecretary to the Presidency, who fulfils duties in the Prime Minister's remit, Ministers without Portfolio enjoy the full status of ministers but do not lead an independent ministry. Departments on equalities, European affairs and relations with Regions, for example, are usually led by ministers without portfolio.
The last Monti Cabinet has had 6 ministers without portfolio:
- Dino Piero Giarda (Relations with Parliament)
- Fabrizio Barca (Territorial cohesion)
- Piero Gnudi (Regional affairs, Tourism and Sport)
- Enzo Moavero Milanesi (European affairs)
- Andrea Riccardi (Integration and International cooperation)
- Filippo Patroni Griffi (Public Administration and Law simplification)
The current Letta Cabinet has 7 ministers without portfolio, although it originally had eight (Josefa Idem was appointed Minister for Equal opportunities, Sport and Youth policy), but she resigned in June):
- Cécile Kyenge (Integration and Youth Policy)
- Giampiero D'Alia (Public Administration)
- Dario Franceschini (Relations with Parliament)
- Enzo Moavero Milanesi (European affairs)
- Graziano Delrio (Regional affairs and Sport)
- Carlo Triglia (Territorial cohesion)
- Gaetano Quagliariello (Constitutional reforms)
Republic of Macedonia[edit]
As of 2012, ministers without portfolio (министер без ресор) are:
A Minister without Portfolio in the Netherlands is a minister that does not head a specific ministry, but assumes the same power and responsibilities as a minister that does. The minister is responsible for a specific part of another minister's policy field. In that sense, a minister without portfolio is comparable to a staatssecretaris (state secretary/junior minister) in Dutch politics, who also falls under another ministry and is responsible for a specific part of that minister's policy field. However, one distinct difference is the fact that a minister without portfolio is a member of the council of ministers and can vote in it, whereas a state secretary is not. The minister for development cooperation has always been a minister without portfolio.
In the second Balkenende cabinet there were three ministers without portfolio: Agnes van Ardenne (Development Cooperation), Rita Verdonk (Integration and Immigration) and Alexander Pechtold (Government Reform and Kingdom Relations).
In the fourth Balkenende cabinet there were three ministers without portfolio: Eberhard van der Laan (Housing, Neighbourhoods and Integration), Bert Koenders (Development Cooperation) and André Rouvoet, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Youth and Family.
New Zealand[edit]
In the First Labour Government from 1935 the Hon. Mark Fagan was a "Minister without Portfolio" from 1935 to 1939, as was the Hon. David Wilson from 1939 to 1949. They were appointed to the upper house and made a "minister without portfolio" to add them to the cabinet although neither were elected to a seat in Parliament.
In the Third National Government, Keith Holyoake was made a Minister of State 1975–77 after he had retired as party leader, and in the Fourth National Government Robin Gray was made a Minister of State 1993–96 after he had retired as Speaker (though he was also Associate Minister of Foreign Affairs). Both appointments were considered sinecures to avoid their return as 'backbenchers'.
From 2009 Karl Eirik Schjøtt-Pedersen (Labour) has been Minister without Portfolio and Chief of Staff in the Prime Ministers Office, where his job is to co-ordinate within government.
During the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines, then-Senate President Manuel Roxas was appointed Minister without Portfolio by the Japanese Government.[citation needed]
Following the Carnation revolution, several politicians were made ministers without portfolio:
- Álvaro Cunhal (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th provisional government)
- Ernesto Melo Antunes (2nd, 3rd provisional government)
- Francisco Pereira de Moura (1st, 4th provisional government)
- Francisco Sá Carneiro (1st provisional government)
- Joaquim Magalhães Mota (2nd, 3rd, 4th provisional government)
- Jorge Campinos (1st constitucional government)
- Mário Soares (4th provisional government)
- Vítor Alves (2nd, 3rd provisional government)
From 2007 to 2008, Dragan Đilas was a "minister without portfolio" in charge of the National Investment Plan.
Republic of China (Taiwan)[edit]
In the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China there are several such ministers, at one time. Currently, the ROC's ministers without portfolio are:[15]
- Lin Junq-tzer, also serving as the Governor of Taiwan Province
- Chien Tai-lang
- Chang San-cheng (張善政)
- Yang Chiu-hsing (楊秋興)
- Kuan Chung-ming, also serving as the Minister of National Development Council
- Schive Chi, also serving as the Governor of Fujian Province
- Joyce Feng (馮燕)[16]
- Chen Shi-shuenn, also service as the Minister of Public Construction Commission
- Jaclyn Tsai, also serving as the Minister of Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission
- Dag Hammarskjöld (1951–1953).
President Jakaya Kikwete appointed Professor Mark Mwandosya as a minister without portfolio in 2012.
United Kingdom[edit]
In the United Kingdom, it is often a Cabinet position, and is sometimes used to get people such as the Chairman of the Conservative Party or the Labour Party Chairman into cabinet meetings (if so, they hold the title of "Party Chairman"). The sinecure positions of Lord Privy Seal and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster which have few responsibilities and have a higher rank in the Order of Precedence than Minister without Portfolio can also be used for similar effect.
United States[edit]
In the United States, an individual who has great influence on government affairs without holding formal office might be described as a "minister without portfolio". Such an appellation is completely unofficial (possibly intended jokingly or disparagingly) and merely serves to underscore the extent of the individual's already-existing influence; it does not grant any new influence or power. Examples include Bernard Baruch[17] and Arthur Burns.[18]

For this classic tapas morsel, sweet and garlicky tomato spread is the perfect companion for thin slices of salty, dry-cured Spanish ham. Plum tomatoes are called for because they contain less water and therefore have a more intense flavor when they are slow-roasted.

Settled in 1623 as Strawbery Banke, Portsmouth became a prosperous port before the Revolutionary War, and, like similarly wealthy Newport, Rhode Island, it harbored many Tory sympathizers throughout the campaign. Filled with grand residential architecture spanning the 18th through early 20th centuries, this city of 23,000 has many house museums, including the collection of 40-plus buildings that make up the Strawbery Banke Museum. With hip eateries, quirky shops, swank cocktail bars, respected theaters, and jumping live-music venues, this sheltered harbor city is a hot destination. Downtown, especially around elegant Market Square, buzzes with conviviality.

Nite Jars owner hopes it will suit the area to a teaBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | November 19,2012
Caption Caption Caption CaptionNORTH BENNINGTON — Nite Jars, a teahouse and coffee shop, joined the Marigold Kitchen, a pizzeria that uses fresh, local ingredients, this year.
The new business was created to meet an ideal, according to owner Kage Brower
"When I am somewhere, when I'm on vacation, I want to walk into an establishment with a friendly staff, clean bathrooms, great products at a reasonable cost and the next day, you want to wake up and go there again. ... The main reason I (created Nite Jars) is this is the place I look for," he said.
Located on Main Street in North Bennington, next to Kevin's Sports Pub and Restaurant, Nite Jars is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., unusual for an area establishment but perfect for Bennington College students who are among Brower's top customers. Brower said for college students, "if there's not a place like this (in the area,) they're just yearning for it."
Brower said Nite Jars is also giving him a chance to educate Vermonters on the right way to serve and drink tea but he hopes it's also more.
"The main thing I'm doing with Nite Jars is there's plenty of good teahouses out there. Of course, there's plenty of good coffee shops but I've never been to a teahouse where you can get great shot of espresso or a cappuccino and likewise, you rarely go into a great coffeehouse and get a proper cup of tea," he said.
Brower, grew up in Cambridge, N.Y., but said he always loved North Bennington. After going to college in Boston, he came back to the area in 2002 and bought a home in 2006. He lived upstairs and thought about uses for the downstairs, primarily a teahouse.
Then the neighboring building where Marigold's was already located became available and he bought it. Eventually, after a friend ran Marigold's for a year and a half and improved the quality of the pizza, according to Brower, Brower took over about two years ago.
Running the pizzeria, Brower realized that he could open the door between the pizzeria and what would become Nite Jars, combine some of the equipment and open the teahouse he thought North Bennington needed.
"I never thought about owning and running a pizza shop and I've also never thought about owning and operating a teahouse but I wanted one. ... So now I have this weird predicament where I do own one and I am working in one," he said.
The name comes from several sources. Like many dedicated tea drinkers, Brower drinks it from a jar and the business is more "night-oriented" than a morning coffee shop. As a "bird nerd," Brower appreciates that a night jar is small nighthawk and the birds are mentioned in "Come Down in Time," a song by Elton John, one of Brower's favorite artists.
Nite Jars, which also sells baked goods from downtown Bennington bakers, opened in March, but closed for the summer and reopened Oct. 1. Brower said he closed over the summer because all of his staff and many of the customers are students from Bennington College but found customers were willing to come back.
"I texted a few people at Bennington College, told some of my friends and the first night it was like it had never closed. The same students were back in here. The same locals started coming," he said.
Brower said he hopes people continue to appreciate that both establishments pay attention to details like getting good local ingredients and teaching all the employees "how to pull a great shot of espresso."
Each place has a website, at www.marigoldkitchen.info and www.nitejars.com.

Young Brothers Tae Kwon-Do was founded in 1968 and has a deeply rooted history in the art of Tae Kwon-Do. The two brothers who opened the training facility are both ninth-degree black belts who studied in Korea and have been practicing Tae Kwon-Do for more than 50 years. Check out the different schedules to determine which classes you can attend.
The shores of the Juniata River abound with lofty trees and verdant plants, creating a scenic backdrop for Juanita River Adventures's aquatic excursions. The family-owned-and-operated company saddles guests into quality and clean tubes, canoes, and kayaks while pointing them toward scenic routes, plentiful fishing holes, and cozy campsites. Staff at their headquarters lease fishing rods and tackle, while their campgrounds speckle with picnic tables, horseshoe pits, and a beach-volleyball court. Throughout the trip, guests have the chance to witness diverse wildlife— such as bald eagles, smallmouth bass, and tech-startup employees on wilderness team-building retreats—in its natural habitat.
Doug Crytzer holds the rare distinction of being a professional racer. When a local boy scout troop hired him to organize an adventure race for them, he discovered he loved producing races even more than running them. He founded American Adventure Sports in 1997 to indulge his new passion, while raising awareness of nature's beauty and efforts to preserve it.
Today, AAS, as Doug dubs it, organizes adventure races, triathlons, mountain bike races, and camping trips into American wildernesses across the country. The organization also has a brick and mortar store located in Pennsylvania, where staffers provide athletes with all the gear they need to compete in any of the events or go on an adventure of their own making.
The impressive course at Scottish Heights offers 18 holes of mature tree-lined fairways and luscious, well-groomed greens. The signature number 4 hole requires a tee shot over Rattlesnake Creek, where spawning trout raise stray balls as their own eggs. Cozy rooms at the lodge vary depending on availability, but options include double rooms, two-bedroom suites, and two-bedroom/two-bathroom condos. Top off your golfcation with a hearty meal at the Bagpiper's Restaurant, or rehash eagles, ostriches, and griffins over a postround flagon of ale at the open-air bar.

Islamic militants kill 13 in northeast Nigeria
Saturday - 8/17/2013, 7:30am  ET
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) -- A Nigerian legislator and a survivor say suspected Islamic militants have killed 13 people in an attack on a northeast village near where a massacre occurred at a mosque.
Legislator Ayamu Lawan Gwasha said security forces repelled gunmen who attacked the police station and a military post in Damboa, 85 kilometers (50 miles) from Borno state capital Maiduguri, on Thursday night.
Farmer Mustapha Aji said other militants gunned down villagers and firebombed about 20 homes. He said villagers had feared an attack since extremists gunned down 47 worshippers at a mosque in Konduga village Sunday. They had asked for more security, but it hadn't yet arrived.
Northeast Nigeria confronts an uprising by Islamic extremists who want an Islamic state in the secular country divided about equally between Christians and Muslims.

Iron Ranger's view: Support your kids and they'll shine
Psychologist Charles L. Brewer said that when it comes to a youngster's development, "Heredity deals the cards and environment plays the hand." It has been my experience that Brewer is correct because we teachers see the results of bad environment (aka bad parenting) quite often.By: Joseph Legueri, for the News Tribune
Psychologist Charles L. Brewer said that when it comes to a youngster's development, "Heredity deals the cards and environment plays the hand." It has been my experience that Brewer is correct because we teachers see the results of bad environment (aka bad parenting) quite often.
On a Monday morning after hall duty I walked into my classroom filled with chattering eighth-graders. There was a dollar bill on the floor. "Oh, oh," I thought, "someone dropped their lunch money." So I reached down to pick up the dollar and, swoosh, it disappeared. I looked at the class, and there was Corby reeling in the dollar with a piece of thin black thread.
A week later we met at the computer room for 20 minutes to practice our spelling lesson. When I walked into the computer room, Luke called me over. Without his fingers on the keyboard, Luke's monitor flashed to life. In big, bold letters the monitor showed the words, "Mr. L. is the best teacher ever." I stood there in a state of confusion. Luke, who had remarkable laughing eyes and a huge propensity to spoof his teachers, finally explained the mystery. He had brought a long computer cord to school, hooked it to his monitor and to Corby's computer. Corby was sitting at the far end of the table, eight feet away, typing what showed up on Luke's phantom monitor. Corby's laughing eyes were just aglow.
Then, one early June morning at 7:30, I was sitting in the classroom preparing for a final exam scheduled for 8 a.m. Corby walked in, and said, and I quote, "Mr. L, I need to talk to a man, and it looks like you're as close to a man as I'm going to get today." I put aside my work, leaned back in the chair and looked at Corby to see if he was serious. He was dead serious, so I asked, "What's on your mind, Corby?"
"I've been in both your
seventh- and eighth-grade phy-ed classes. We're at the end of the eighth-grade year. How good of an athlete do you think I am?"
"Corby," I said, "you're the finest athlete I've seen in 25 years of teaching junior high phy ed. You're best at floor hockey, and you're a natural at every activity we presented."
"That's what I thought," he said. "I'm going home to ask my parents if I can go out for hockey next year."
Soon the year was over, summer passed, and Corby's ninth-grade year began. I noticed Corby's name on the detention list almost every week. I also noticed he was never on the "A" or "B" honor rolls anymore. During the spring parent conferences, I saw his parents walk by in the hallway, so I asked them if they would talk to me about Corby. I told them about my observations.
Corby's stepdad became really angry.
"He's just a good-for-nothing kid," he said. "I've told him a hundred times he's never going to amount to nothing. He spray-painted nasty things on the bathroom walls, he put Gorilla Glue in the key holes on the doors, and he smokes cigarettes right in school. He was such a good kid last year. I can't figure out what happened to him."
"Last year when I talked to him," I said, "he was interested in going out for hockey. Did he talk to you about that?"
"You bet he did," his stepdad said, his voice growing louder and angrier again. "I'm not spending $800 on equipment so that damn kid can go out for hockey. I told him to go out for swimming. That's what I did in high school. All you need to buy for swimming is a $25 suit."
Most of the more than 3,500 youngsters I worked with over the years proved pretty resilient. Corby survived his parents' divorce in a fairly healthy state. He became a sensitive and considerate young man. None of his pranks were hurtful.
But when his angry stepfather took away Corby's self-
esteem, mocked his enthusiasm for hockey and made Corby feel as if he were a burden to the family, he changed the hand heredity dealt. Corby developed an I-don't-care attitude. He did some really bad things. He is now incarcerated.
A good share of youngsters I worked with were, like Corby, open about the things in which they were interested. Even if it's going to cost a little money and take up some time, parents, back them, I tell you, back them.
