If you've attended or promoted Symantec Vision in the past, a few things will feel familiar in 2014. Vision continues as Symantec's flagship conference for enterprise and commercial customers and partners. It's still being held in sunny springtime Las Vegas (May 5-8). And once again, we're expecting people from around the world to gather for information and insights into the latest Symantec offerings.
But the big news isn't about what's staying the same—it's about what's changing. As Symantec has transformed into a market-led, customer focused organization, Vision has transformed right along with it—from a strictly technical user conference into a premiere thought leadership and networking event. That means this year, even more of our customers and partners can look forward to a broader, more personalized and hands-on Vision experience. This includes:
- More diverse, multi-faceted and targeted experiences for managers, directors, executives and even small business customers—from IT strategy roundtables and real case studies to enhanced networking opportunities.
- New opportunities to explore, interact and learn about the latest Symantec technology first-hand—including more major announcements, demos of pre-release software and detailed roadmaps that Symantec customers and partners won't find anywhere else.
- A revamped content structure that aligns with and supports Symantec 4.0 segment priorities. This includes four all-new knowledge tracks that target both Functional AND Strategic IT audiences:
- Enabling the Modern Data Center (FIT)
- Embracing Proactive Cyber Security (FIT)
- Supporting the Evolving Endpoint (FIT)
- Turning Complex Trends into Competitive Advantages (SIT)
- Increased attendance is a critical goal for Vision as we look to get the Symantec message to a larger audience of 3,000 participants.
Prepare for a new kind of Vision conference this May. Look for more information on Symantec employee registration, which will open in mid-February. And make sure the customers and partners you work with understand the full value of attending the most relevant, diverse future-focused and hands-on Vision conference ever.

Russia's drive to annex Crimea through a referendum has put map makers on alert.
A vote that could redraw the map of Eastern Europe by joining Crimea to Russia has professional cartographers like Juan Valdes on high alert.
In the wake of a referendum scheduled for Sunday, Valdes will likely convene a 10-person committee at the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C., to determine how the region should be depicted on thousands of print and digital maps. Russia's drive to annex Crimea, a region transferred to Ukraine by the Soviet Union in 1954, has drawn condemnation from the United States and Europe, which have threatened to impose sanctions if Moscow doesn't back down. On Friday, Russia warned that Ukraine's government has lost control of the country.
While redrawing maps to reflect new boundaries is simpler in an era of electronic publishing, doing so is as politically charged as ever. In 2010, an error by Google Maps helped trigger a border dispute between Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Should the reunification be approved, mapmakers risk legitimizing one side over the other if they redraw Russia's boundaries to include Crimea, and the United States and the United Nations refuse to recognize the vote result.
"Maps instill a lot of passion in people, individuals, nations," said Valdes, director of editorial research, whose honorary title is The Geographer. "So we have to be very cautious. We have to make sure that we deal with the reality of the moment."
Unless they are propagandists, cartographers are typically a conservative bunch, according to Jim Akerman, curator of maps for Chicago's Newberry Library, whose collections range from ancient maps to almost every atlas, road and railroad map published by Rand McNally.
"It matters where maps are made," Akerman said. Some Russian mapmakers may be quick, following the plebiscite, to redraw borders to reassert a Russian claim to the territory dating to Catherine the Great, he said. "Others are very slow to make changes unless they're supported by treaties."
Google's mapping service uses broken lines to delineate disputed territories like Abkhazia — which broke away from Georgia in 2008 — Kosovo, Kashmir and disputed boundaries between Egypt and Sudan.
When dealing with territorial disputes, most U.S. mapping companies and commercial cartographers take their direction from the State Department.

TORONTO — The Canadian funding of a Mexican human rights organization was cut following a letter from the archbishop of Mexico City that directly accuses the Jesuit-founded body of supporting pro-abortion groups.
The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP) cut the funding for Centro PRODH, whose director recently had speaking engagements cancelled in Ottawa and Cornwall, after Mexican Cardinal Norberto Carrera said the organization "does not represent the sentiments of the Church and has been characterized by its support and encouragement of groups and activities that are an affront to Christian values."

June 20, 2011
VANCOUVER — Despite recent success blocking a House of Commons bill to permit euthanasia and assisted suicide, the battle is not over; activists have taken the fight to the courts.
Attorney Hugh Scher conveyed that warning during a presentation at the Third International Symposium on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide at the Vancouver Airport Marriot Hotel June 4.
TRAPPIST, KY. — On one sunny spring morning the Abbey of Gethsemani's idyllic, secluded grounds reflected the quiet reverence of its inhabitants.
The Trappist monks, gathered in the abbey church, kept silent when they weren't chanting. The monks who live at the abbey refrain from speaking during meals and generally live a quiet, contemplative life. They celebrate Mass each day, and they pray (typically chanting) the Liturgy of the Hours at seven intervals throughout the day — sometimes for just 10 or so minutes at a time. In between, they continue their work.
FORT SASKATCHEWAN — The new head of the provincial Catholic Women's League is a deeply spiritual woman that places God and the CWL at the centre of her life.
Morinville's Sheila Houle, a professed member of the Discalced Carmelites secular order, was formally installed as president of the Alberta Mackenzie Provincial Council at the CWL's June 3-5 provincial convention at the Dow Centennial Centre.
FORT SASKATCHEWAN — Mary-Anne Warren of St. Albert was all smiles during the CWL provincial convention—and with good reason.
The CWL awarded Warren the 2011 Elsie Yanik Award in recognition to her dedication and commitment to the League, the Church and the community.
OTTAWA — The newly-elected speaker of the House of Commons Andrew Scheer, 32, made history June 2 as the youngest MP to be elected to this coveted role that comes with huge responsibilities and accompanying perks.
But Scheer's victory has also sent a message to politicians everywhere that one does not have to separate a robust Catholic faith from public life.
FORT SASKATCHEWAN — Holiness and discipleship means sharing our gifts and resources with others, says Alberta's Ukrainian Catholic bishop.
"It's really what we do with the gifts that we are entrusted with that defines who we are as Christians," says Bishop David Motiuk.
FORT SASKATCHEWAN - The Catholic Women's League is supporting temporary foreign workers to become permanent residents of Canada.
At its June 3-5 provincial convention, the CWL passed a resolution urging governments to act on the matter.
TORONTO — New funding rules and the process of setting new directions for the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (D&P) are running into stiff opposition in Quebec and New Brunswick.
Members of D&P in francophone Canada used their regional assembly meeting to demand restoration of funding to Centro PRODH, the Mexican human rights organization that has drawn heat for apparently endorsing a campaign for legal access to first trimester abortions throughout Mexico.
EDMONTON — The Catholic Church faces "a huge challenge" in communicating its 2,000-year tradition in a media world that is "more and more focused on just the sound byte," said Archbishop Richard Smith.
The Church's teachings do not fit easily into sound bytes or into 140-character tweets, Smith said June 6 in his annual breakfast with local media.

The Glass Menagerie (1995)
Costumes and Photos by Tara Maginnis
ShowsGlass92872_13Dave Fields as Tom the Narrator [at auditions the director,Anatoly Antohin, had two actors who both had abilities for Tom, the central role. One hadthe best abilities in Tom's young persona, the other had the kind of gravity with humorthat the narrator parts of Tom needed. Rather than pick one who would be good at one halfof the part but weak in the other half, Anatoly chose both, and split the part into olderand younger versions of Tom's self, on stage simultaneously. After seeing Dave in thescripted "merchant seaman's" coat at first dress, it became obvious that it wasnot working with this split. On a hunch I pulled a late 1940's-early 1950's raw silk suitjacket in a natural golden-beige, paired it with a cream wool pair of cuffed, pleated1940's trousers, beige 1950's Thai silk tie, and off-white dress shirt. He got lots oflittle touches of gold jewelry, a tie clip, ring, cigarette case, and wristwatch. And mixedwith Dave's pale blonde hair he looked like a de-colored ghost of Tennessee Williams. Itworked better as a costume than all the others we spent weeks working on.]
ShowsGlass92872_16 Georgia Berry as Amanda, Dave Fields as Tomthe Narrator and Alex Beaudrault as the (silent) absent Father [Two other actors were alsoadded as silent roles in the play. During the monologue about the dance hall the gentlemancaller, Jim was seen on the periphery of our thrust stage dancing with his fiancée. Theabsent Father, also floated around the edge of the stage, just out of reach, whenever hewas alluded to. He too was in creams and beiges, c. 1910, like the ghost of the handsomeyoung man Amanda first met.]

Coming back from maternity leave with new Christmas ornaments
Published: 09-05-2013 02:03pm
So for the last couple of years, I've been a little busy and haven't really been able to focus on pottery. I've missed pottery, but the trade-off was worth it!I'm a mom to 15 month old twin girls! So that's where I've been.But back to pottery. I'm finally back in the studio and recently uploaded a bunch of new agateware mugs.What I'm really excited about are some Christmas ornaments I'm working on and hope to have available for sale by October. This is a new product line for me so there's a bit of a learning curve. I haven't decided yet if I want bright colors or if I want to try a new line of antique gold glaze on these. I'm open to ... » Read More

Garden Elements, 15 LB, 4-5-3, Tomato & Vegetable Food,
damn cheap price of $7.19, flat $4.95 shipping no matter what quantity you order! Plus get 5% off with Home5off coupon. Just ordered! http://ozbo.com/15LB-Tom-Veg-Food-E-B-Stone-Son-Inc-966.html |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, that is cheap. I am not sure how much you use, how often, whether it is quick or slow release, etc; and you have to be careful with numbers like 4-5-3 when comparing products. The fertilizer numbers can be used to calculate how much of a fertilizer needs to be applied to equal 1 pound of the nutrient you are trying to add to the soil. So if the numbers on the fertilizer are 10-5-5, you can divide 100 by 10 and this will tell you that you need 10 pounds of the fertilizer to add 1 pound of the nutrient (nitrogen) to the soil. If the product is 20-20-20, you only need 5 lbs of the product --- thus, while the 20-20-20 might cost more than the 10-5-5 brand, the actual expense based on application might be less! For example, another excellent product that may seem expensive by comparison is Intrepid Blue Ribbon Biodynamic Fertilizer which is 6-6-7, but is around $18.95 for a 5 lb container. However, you only use 1 tablespoon per plant, it is organic and it also contains strains of soil microorganisms. One "tub" of this has lasted me all season and my garden plants look good. Remember, you only use one tablespoon per plant per application! I use it at transplanting, flowering, and heavy fruiting periods. I also take soil sample with a test kit to see what the plant needs. |

well, usage is on the label most of the times. in organic we dont find higher NPK numbers, most like 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 are mostly synthetic. I like the ingreadientes of this organic fertilizer, so 4-5-3 could be prety balanced here with the exception of low K number here. I know Espoma sells tomatotone 3-4-6 20lb for $17 (only at Ozbo.com), so if you look at it from comparizon perspective, this one is sure a big steal, specially when I see prices of this 15lb elsewhere well over $15. I am stocking up and will mix this with Espoma and make y fertilizer 4-5-3 (Garden Elements) + 3-4-7 (tomatotone) = 7-9-10 |

If looking for cheap organic: contact a local chicken farmer. If I had to pay those prices for I'd be broke before the season ever started but i'll admit I splurged on a whim and bought 2 1/2 gal each of foliar applied nutrients- Nutri-Cal & Nutri-K for $100. I guess we all need to try and learn. |

Ok, here is my other project that I got finished. It's a design by Karen Wisner. It looked simple enough, but I had a hard time with it for some reason. Lots of little details. I'd just get frustrated with it and set it aside. I have been working on this thing for 2 winters and I wasn't gonna let it sit and stare at me for another. ha Hope y'all like it. ~Anj |

Anj, it turned out just darling! I know what you mean about Karen Wisner designs--they are so cute, but I always pass them up because she puts so many things in them and I know I just don't have the patience! My congratulations on your perseverance in getting this one all painted. I really love it and all the colors are so pretty. What a great addition to your holiday decor! ;o) On a side note, I was at a craft show just the other day and they had "plastic" blocks. Very light weight but looked just like the glass blocks, probably easier to drill as well. Have you seen those? I'll have to check a couple of the craft places and see who is carrying them. |
Oh Anj, this is Wonderful. I love Karen Wisner designs too. She does put alot of detail in her paintings. I'm glad to see you didn't let it kick your Butt! Beautiful job on those candy canes. They aren't the easiest to paint but yours are super. Punk |

Anj, this is great. The little details that had sidelined for so long made it worth the wait. You did a wonderful job. B |
Anj.....you rock girl! This is awesome. Every detail just adds to the finished look and yours looks so good! The twigs are so well done and all of your line work.... question: do you put light inside or have a light shine through? If so, does it glow or highten the colors? Thank You for sharing this and your witch! Belle |
Thank you all! I'm glad you liked it. I was so glad to finally get it finished. ha Luvs, I have seen the plastic blocks and I believe they have them at Hobby Lobby. I just never get over there much. I pick up these glass blocks at the TS for $1 when I find them. The lighter ones would sure be easier to store. ha Belle~ You could put a light in them if you wanted to. The ones I've done don't have them only because I have been waiting to order a light box from Rock Creek Emporium. It's a box that the lights go in and the glass blocks sit on top and the lights shine up thru them. You can change the blocks out. They have been out of them for a long time though. Need to try to figure out how to make one myself I guess. "/ |
Thanks, am going to the emportium to check out the lights. Belle |

Anj, this is beautiful! I've never heard of Karen Wisner. I'll have to look for some of her books. I've painted a couple of glass blocks. The first one I made didn't have a hole to put the lights in - drilled it after painting and the block cracked :( Wish I had known about using a light box then LOL! |
Very cute. I have not painted in years you guys inspire me to do so again. Very cute |
We wish you would Jude!!! and Thank you! =) |

Christmas isn't just for kids. Retailers will tell you it's also for people's pets.
A recent Associated Press-Petside.com poll shows that more than half of the pet owners across the country will spend an average $46 on their animals this holiday season. That figure is up $5 from last year.
According to the poll:
Some pets will even get more than one gift.
"Christmas is about the pets," said Gayla McCarthy, 58, whose Australian shepherd, Echo, will find a toy under the tree.
Major pet retailers also have also announced big sales for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
The AP-Petside.com poll was conducted Oct. 13-17. It involved landline and cell phone interviews with 1,118 pet owners. The poll results have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.

I have a lot of embroidery thread (tons of different colors) and I'm wondering if this thread can be used for craft/garment sewing? I would not use it in a quilted piece that I want to be left to my future generations :-)
I know when I started embroidering I was told you couldn't use regular thread in that type of machine but I don't know about the reverse. Thanks for any advise. |

You can use it for whatever you like. Except I wouldn't think it's strong enough for garment construction but good for embellishment. I love it for sewing down quilt appliqué and also use it to machine quilt my quilts. Never had a problem. |

It is a Swiss chard plant which has bolted and gone to seed. It will have a honey like fragrance. If you can bear to keep it it will probably self sow. Mine do. |

No team in Major League Baseball history has lost 110 games one season and made the playoffs the following year.
The Diamondbacks think they can buck that trend.
Ken Kendrick, one of Arizona's four majority owners, said Tuesday that the Diamondbacks don't want to rebuild and get younger but instead acquire some veteran free agents for a 2005 postseason run.
In fact, Arizona is so convinced it can go from worst to somewhere-near-first, internal discussions have been held regarding a contract extension for pitcher Randy Johnson.
"We certainly want to contend," Kendrick said.
The Diamondbacks believe they can follow the same path of the San Diego Padres, who lost 98 games last season but remain in contention for a National League wild-card berth this year.
They're convinced that if the team hadn't been decimated by injuries this year, it would have challenged for a division title.
The blueprint: Get some of the injured players back, add a No. 2 starter to sandwich between Johnson and Brandon Webb, and '05 can be more like 1999 than 1998.
The organization's plan, however, is contingent on two pieces falling into place: Re-signing first baseman Richie Sexson and convincing Johnson that his talents won't be wasted on a lastplace team.
If the Diamondbacks aren't successful on both those counts, Kendrick said, the franchise may change course and decide it makes more sense to rebuild and think long-term.
"It's not 100 percent clear wh ich direction we'll choose," Kendrick said.
Sexson is the key. If he resigns, it becomes far easier to convince Johnson that the Diamondbacks can contend in '05. Arizona also wants to resign right fielder Danny Bautista, who has set career highs in homers (11) and RBIs (64) this season.
Although negotiations with Sexson seem to be dragging because the Diamondbacks don't want to fully guarantee his contract for three years due to concerns about his surgically repaired shoulder, Kendrick believes Sexson wants to stay in Arizona and that an agreement will be reached.
As for Johnson, CEO Jeff Moorad recently met with the left-hander and told him the Diamondbacks want to sit down with him after the season and discuss the organization's plans.
During that discussion, Arizona will ask Johnson about his interest in signing a contract extension, Kendrick said.
Johnson's current deal calls for him to make $16 million in '05. The Diamondbacks are interested in adding two years to the contract in exchange for a lower salary figure next year.
"We'd like Randy to be a Diamondback for life," Kendrick said, "and we're pretty sure Randy does not see next year as his last playing year."
Johnson turned 41 last month but leads NL starters in strikeouts (282) and opponents' batting average (.194) and is third in ERA (2.65).
With any help from the offense or bullpen, he'd have 20 wins and a sixth Cy Young Award.
"I hope he's another Nolan Ryan," said Kendrick of the Hall of Fame pitcher who retired at the age of 46. "He's the kind of guy I wouldn't want to bet against."
The Diamondbacks envision Johnson finishing his career as a closer, a la Atlanta's John Smoltz and former Oakland A's stopper Dennis Eckersley.
Whether Johnson would want to change roles is unclear. Johnson has limited his access to the media to the days he pitches and only to questions about that game.
If all goes according to plan, the Diamondbacks' opening-day lineup in '05 will look much like it did this year. Luis Gonzalez, Bautista and Steve Finley will roam the outfield — assuming Finley is willing to come back and play for less than the $7 million he's making this season.
Gonzalez, who will provide color commentary on the postseason for ESPN Radio, said he'll be "in Finley's ear" if the Los Angeles Dodgers reach the playoffs and he broadcasts their games.
(The Diamondbacks aren't convinced that Luis Terrero — .256, four homers, 13 RBIs, 10 stolen bases— is an everyday player.)
Sexson and Chad Tracy will play first base and third base respectively, and Koyie Hill, acquired in the Finley deal, will be the everyday catcher. The middle infield will be determined next spring.
The Diamondbacks are playing a dangerous game in thinking they can prop open their window for another season.
If the roster gets older and the record doesn't get considerably better, the organization will have lost a season and a chance to rebuild. "That's certainly a risk," Kendrick said. "We don't want to become next year's Mets." It's a risk, however, they're willing to take. Should make for an interesting offseason.

The flower of this plant is a spathe, but unless one is turned away from the camera, I don't see any. The things between the leaves are cataphylls (leaf sheaths.) I don't think this is the same kind of Philodendron, but a flower on your plant would look like this, with a thing in the middle. Very similar to a peace lily flower. |

Dilapidated house dream
THE DREAM It seemed I owned a house that was needing a considerable amount of work. It was decidedly grey and dark. I heard myself say, "it seems like it would be a good idea to have someone live here who could fix it up".
I vaguely remember there was some type of performance going on there and I looked up and there was some repaired damage on the ceiling.
The most vivid, and last thing (and most puzzling thing) I remember is that there was a weird hump in the living room floor. I was trying to figure out what caused it and if I should be worried.
At first, I thought it had happened when some dirt had been displaced while making some sort of road/driveway (it was on some large piece of property in the boonies).
I was talking to someone about it, asking them what they thought it might be. I kept saying, "it looks like it's going to erupt."
Not long after this, the entire place was bright yellow and filled with a party (everything and everyone was yellow). Too weird...
BACKGROUND INFORMATION The previous night someone took me to my first ballet. The clincher is that it was at the University I just started attending, which is causing me some stress on many levels (my workload, but also a decidedly leftist political and anti-religious bent). My life's pretty hectic.
The ceiling in this theatre did have some water damage that I was surprised to notice, since it was actually a very nice venue.
I've also been feeling a little frustrated at my lack of time for spiritual matters (time alone with God). The party seemed like it had some sort of worshipful/party atmosphere.

Hi Lilolehs
Thanks for the post. Many dreams are about our emotions and thoughts. I would say that the background information that you posted has really illuminated the dream.
The roof leaking is a good association. That definitely links this dream to the ballet lesson and to university.
The feeling of spirituality is also important in the party.
I think the dream links all the issues and so is about you trying to express your own personality and beliefs in a place which is largely hostile.
Cold and grey settings are symbolic of lack of progress - lack of connection. Inability to get along with others.... feeling out of place. In this case the cold sand grey is symbolic of the setting at university where you feel out of place... its unwelcoming (COLD). It does not accept your religious and political beliefs.
The party at the end is symbolic of your wish to express your religious beliefs in a setting that is welcoming.
The place needs fixing up because you are not convinced that this university is a good place for you to express your own personality and religious and political beliefs... its going to take a lot of work for you to find a way to express those political and religious thoughts
Lilolehs (POSTED October 15, 2012, 10: 1: 32)
That is it, exactly! Perhaps next
semester will be better...
Lilolehs (POSTED October 15, 2012, 10: 1: 44)
... and actually, I had just been thinking
I was afraid I was going to "erupt" in one
of my classes, where the professor seems
especially hostile or misinformed in terms
of my belief system
Unclesirbobby (POSTED October 16, 2012, 01: 2: 46)
I missed that bit about the "eruption". I sometimes read too quickly. Actually quotes in dreams are crammed with meaning. The quote will capture that exact feeling ... it may seem a little out of context but the quote exactly captures your key emotion

North Korea said Sunday it will expel South Koreans from Diamond Mountain, a resort in the communist country, a further sign of fraying ties between the two Koreas. Last month, a North Korean solider fatally shot a South Korean tourist at the resort, prompting strong protests from Seoul. North Korea said the woman strayed into a restricted military area while strolling on a beach, but South Korea has raised doubts about the account.
A bomb blast in Mogadishu, Somalia, Sunday killed at least 20 people, including 10 women street cleaners, amid a political crisis that has threatened the government's peace deal with elements of an Islamic insurgency. The bomb exploded under a pile of garbage. The blast occurred after last month's peace agreement, which has fueled power struggles within both the transitional government and the Islamic insurgency it is fighting.
Cambodia said Sunday that Thai soldiers are occupying a second temple site along their border in an escalation of an ongoing armed standoff that nearly led to clashes between the neighbors last month. The temple is several hundred miles west of the 11th-century Preah Vihear temple, where Cambodian and Thai soldiers have been locked in a standoff for three weeks in a dispute over nearby land.
At least five climbers from a South Korean team were killed by an avalanche near the summit of K-2, the world's second highest mountain, and expedition organizers said Sunday they worry other teams may have perished when breaking ice tore away fixed lines.
Further measures to stimulate Japan's economy are under consideration, members of a newly appointed Cabinet said Sunday in addressing consumer concerns about rising prices. Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda replaced several key ministers Friday in a move aimed at boosting public support of his government

Thomas Rhett Has a Bad Habit He Plans to Kick … One Day
We all have habits that we don't like to admit to, but Thomas Rhett isn't afraid to own up to his unhealthy vice.
We all have habits that we don't like to admit to, but Thomas Rhett isn't afraid to own up to his unhealthy vice.
'It Goes Like This' is the safest of the three singles Thomas Rhett has released, but he sacrifices nothing in sharp songwriting in his effort to land a hit on country radio. The charismatic songwriter is a natural storyteller, and his lyrics bounce to life with each verse and chorus.
Thomas Rhett shows everyone that although he isn't yet a veteran in the country music scene, he is an expert on how to 'Diffie.' He'll even give lessons on how to pull it off.
When Thomas Rhett penned 'Beer With Jesus' nearly three years ago, the country newcomer most likely had no idea he was brewing what would become one of the most controversial songs released to country radio in 2012.
In Thomas Rhett's new 'Beer With Jesus' video, the 22-year-old singer-songwriter keeps the treatment simple to drive home the powerful message and meaning behind the song's lyrics.
Thomas Rhett's powerful 'Beer With Jesus' lyrics and the song's moving message have been getting the singer some positive reviews. Thomas Rhett penned the tune along with Lance Miller and Rick Huckaby, and credits the song as the reason he is now signed to Big Machine's Valory Music Co.

(as of september 2014)
08.432 n Parl. init. Switzerland must recognise its children
The parliamentary initiative submitted by National Councillor Ada Marra on 9 June 2008 proposed that third generation foreign nationals living in Switzerland should be able to apply for naturalisation at their own request or at the request of their parents. In general, after a preliminary examination of the initiative, both PICs recognised the need for legislation in this respect. The majority of committee members agreed that children born in Switzerland whose parents grew up in this country should no longer be seen as foreign nationals, but as part of Switzerland.Following preparatory work by its sub-committee, the PIC-N launched a proposal on 5 November 2009 to amend the Federal Constitution and the Citizenship Act. The proposal aims to facilitate the naturalisation of third-generation foreign nationals and ensure uniform procedures across the country. The automatic granting of Swiss citizenship at birth (ius soli) is not envisaged.On 15 April 2010, the committee acknowledged the mainly positive results of the consultation, but decided on 9 September 2010 to suspend its proposal to await the Federal Council's draft text for the total revision of the Citizenship Act (11.022 n). When it met on 23 February 2012, the PIC decided to postpone debating its draft until deliberations on the total revision had been completed, as it would like to deal with this topic in a wider context. The committee will readdress the proposal during the fourth quarter of 2014.
10.403 n Parl.init. New system of support for the press
For several years now the PIC-N has been addressing the question of support for the press. As such it drew up the proposal that led to a system of indirect support for the press through preferential postal rates (06.425 n Parl. init. Supporting the press through subsidies for distribution costs). As part of the total revision of the Postal Services Act (09.049 n), the committee succeeded in securing the unlimited extension of these reduced postal rates, contrary to the Federal Council's wishes.In the medium term, however, the PIC-N would like to arrive at a practicable alternative to reduced postal rates. Accordingly, it submitted a committee initiative calling for an efficient and sustainable model for maintaining and promoting a varied and high-quality press; at the same time, a legal basis for such a model should be set up. Following the PIC-S's approval of the initiative, the PIC-N set up a sub-committee to examine possible models and the pertinent basic legislatorial conditions in detail. In January 2012, at the request of its sub-committee, the PIC-N decided by 15 votes to 0 with 6 abstentions on a committee motion (12.3004), which was approved by the National Council in the spring session. In the 2012 summer session, the Council of States decided to follow its PIC's recommendation and adopted the motion in part. It instructed the Federal Council to examine support for the press and to develop a funding concept, but decided not to instruct it to draft a specific bill yet at this stage. The PIC-N is expected to decide early next year, after the Federal Council's presentation of the overview and the funding concept, how it intends to proceed with its parliamentary initiative.
13.030 s Foreign Nationals Act. Amendment. Integration
The legislative amendment proposed by the Federal Council aims to set out in greater detail the principle of integration policy whereby foreign nationals receive support, but are also expected to undertake efforts to integrate. It is also intended to clarify how tasks are allocated between the Confederation and the cantons by putting in place a coherent nationwide system to promote integration. In the 2013 winter session, the Council of States was the first chamber to address the issue and approved it in a vote on the entire bill by 24 votes to 7 with 4 abstentions. The Council of States made its most important amendment at the request of its PIC, voting by 20 votes to 12 with one abstention to maintain the existing regulation under current legislation whereby the decision to grant a permanent residence permit remains at the discretion of the cantonal authorities even if the requirements are fulfilled. The Federal Council's draft text envisaged that a permanent residence permit must be granted once the legally defined integration requirements are fulfilled. A minority in the Council of States rejected the proposal outright because the cost-benefit ratio of the proposed system of encouragement was unreasonable. The intended objectives of the revised law could also be achieved using existing legal instruments. Ultimately, integration is primarily the responsibility of immigrants themselves, not of the state. The National Council addressed the proposal in the spring session of 2014. At the recommendation of its committee it decided to return the proposal to the Federal Council requesting it to present changes to the Federal Assembly setting out proposals for the implementation of the new constitutional provision on annual quantitative limits and quotas (Art 121a FC) introduced following the adoption of the popular vote against mass immigration on 9 February 2014.Through their support for various parliamentary initiatives over the past few years (see years (see 06.485 n, 08.406 n, 08.420 n, 08.428 n), the PICs have repeatedly been made aware of the legislatorial need to improve requirements concerning the integration of foreign nationals, particularly with regard to residency rights and the acquisition of Swiss citizenship.The National Council therefore attached a further condition to its decision to refer the proposal back to the Federal Council by requesting that these concerns expressed in these initiatives be taken into account in the new draft.During the 2011 spring session, a committee motion was put forward by the PIC-N (10.3343 n) calling for the Federal Council to draft a specific law on integration or to revise the Foreign Nationals Act. The Council of States approved the National Council's decision to re-refer the proposal on 2 June 2014. The Federal Council is expected to issue a new dispatch or an additional dispatch on the matter to the Federal Assembly early next year.
13.056 n SCC and MCC. Deportation of criminal foreigners
Following the adoption by the electorate on 28 November 2010 of the popular initiative in favour of deporting criminal foreigners (09.060 s), which the PICs had discussed and recommended for rejection, the Federal Council was required to present to parliament draft implementing legislation. In its dispatch to parliament of 26 June 2013, the government proposed introducing a new form of deportation into the Swiss Criminal Code and Military Criminal Code, thereby taking account of the provisions in the Constitution regarding automatic deportation yet also considering existing constitutional principles and human rights guarantees. At its meeting of 10 October 2013, the PIC-N, as the first committee to debate the issue, decided to pave the way for the implementation of the deportation initiative by setting out in the law the aims of the 'application initiative', submitted subsequently by the initiators of the deportation initiative which is still pending in parliament. At its meeting in February 2014, the committee approved the Federal Council's modified draft law, which was adopted by the National Council on 20 March 2014 by 106 votes to 65 with 11 abstentions. In the second quarter of 2014 the PIC-S will have to decide whether or not to follow the National Council's proposal to directly implement the application initiative in the form of a law.The PIC-S began its initial discussion of the bill in the second quarter of 2014. It is expected to present its proposals to the Council of States in the 2014 winter session.
Following the adoption of the popular initiative on the deportation of criminal foreign nationals (Deportation initiative) (09.060 s) by the people and the cantons in the popular vote of 28 November 2010, the same political circles launched the 'application initiative' with the aim of speeding up the substantive implementation of the deportation initiative at the constitutional level. Following the approval of proposal 13.056 (see above), which provides for the implementation of the deportation initiative in the Swiss Criminal Code and the Military Criminal Code, the National Council decided, at the request of the Federal Council and its PIC, by 100 votes to 51 with 20 abstentions, to declare the initiative to be partially invalid, and recommended it to be rejected by 131 votes to 51. The Council of States is due to debate the initiative, along with legislation on the implementation of the deportation initiative, in the 2014 winter session. Its PIC voted by 7 votes to 6 to request the Council to declare the initiatve to be partially invalid (a large minority wished for it to be declared totally invalid), and by 11 votes to 1 and one abstention to recommend that the People and cantons reject the initiative.
13.418 / 13.419 / 13.420 / 13.421 / 13.422 n Pa.Iv. Parliamentary groups GL/ BD/ G/ S/Fiala. Equal treatment of registered partnerships and marriage in naturalisation procedure
Foreign nationals in a registered partnership should receive the same treatment as those who are married when wishing to become naturalised. On 30 August 2013, the PIC-N approved by 14 votes to 0 and 9 abstentions, five parliamentary initiatives which propose to amend the law so that persons in a registered partnership receive the same treatment as married couples in the naturalisation process. Considering that discrimination is prohibited under the Constitution, the PIC considers the current unequal treatment untenable.The PIC-S examined the demands of the parliamentary initiatives in the first quarter of 2014. By approving the decision of the National Council committee by 5 votes to 1 with 4 abstentions, it gave the PIC-N the go-ahead to draw up the relevant legal basis. Once deliberations on the total revision of the Citizenship Act have been concluded, the committee will state in the second quarter how it plans to set about drafting a corresponding law and possibly a draft constitutional amendment.
13.443 n Pa.Iv. PIC-N. Appropriate representation of language communities in a Federal Council consisting of nine membersOn 29 August 2013 the PIC-N came out in favour of drafting a committee initiative by 13 votes to 6 and three abstentions, to amend Article 175 of the Federal Constitution. The initiative would propose that the Federal Council should have nine members and that the different geographical and linguistic regions of the country should be represented in the government. On 27 January 2014 the PIC-S agreed by 6 votes to 3 and one abstention to give the PIC-N the go-ahead to draft a proposal to that effect.14.063 s Asylum Act. Restructuring of the asylum system A fundamental restructuring of the asylum procedure should mean that in future the majority of asylum applications can be processed and a decision reached much faster. To this end, regional federal centres will be set up where asylum seekers can be housed and their requests processed in an accelerated procedure lasting a maximum of 40 days, and where they will receive greater legal protection. The corresponding draft law by the Federal Council relates to the previous revision of the Asylum Act (see 10.052 s Asylum Act. Amendment), which the two chambers of parliament re-referred in part to the Federal Council, requesting the latter to propose ways of considerably speeding up the asylum procedure, in particular by establishing and expanding existing federal asylum centres. As part of this same revision of the law, the Councils had also decided on an urgent amendment which would allow the immigration authorities to start operating test centres. The PIC-S will initiate the debate on this proposal in the fourth quarter of 2014.
