Because of this, Mouton's home became the Governor's Mansion, a title it still bears today.

Dues Structure
The Commander wishes to clarify the dues structure of The SCV. Normally there is a charge of $30.00 to National Headquarters and a $5.00 fee that is sent to Louisiana Division. Usually there is an additional $12.00 that goes to the Camp. Camp 2032 does not collect that $12.00 in order to keep your dues as low as possible. The Camp has no control over the practice of the Louisiana Division sending our members dues notices.
A new member is scheduled to be inducted into our Camp at the next meeting.

The purpose of our Camp is to honor our ancestors who fought against overwhelming odds when their home states seceded from the union. They responded to their Country's call much like our current soldiers who now fight in Iraq. Many did not want to fight, much less die. But soldiers across history have responded to a call to service. I am proud of my ancestors service to their country and I am proud of my own service to my country. God Bless our soldiers who are now in harms way and fighting for our freedom.
Charge to the Sons of Confederate Veterans:
you, Sons of
Confederate Veterans, we submit the vindication of the Cause for which
fought; to your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate
good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his
virtues, the
perpetuation of those principles he loved and which made him glorious
and which
you also cherish. Remember, it is your duty to see that the true
history of the
South is presented to future generations."

The Dedication of the Confederate Memorial in Franklin, LA February 28, 1914 From the St. Mary Banner Newspaper. Picture submitted by Larry D. Bodin
For those who think that our ancestors fought to preserve slavery I submit the following :
In all their motley array there was hardly a uniform to be seen, and then, and throughout all the brilliant campaign on which they were about to enter there was nothing to distinguish their officers, even a general, from the men in the ranks, save a bit of red flannel, or a piece of cotton cloth, fastened to the shoulder, or to the arm, of the former. But for all that they were the truest and best of soldiers. Many of them, when just emerging from endured to the dangers and privations of the wilderness; and many had engaged in the hot strife which had ensanguined the prairies of Kansas.
Among them
there was hardly a man who could not read and write, and who was not
intelligent than the great mass of American citizens; not one who had
voluntarily abandoned his home with all its tender ties, and thrown
away all his
possessions, and left father and mother, or wife and children, within
enemy's lines, that he might himself stand by the South in her hour of
peril, and help her to defend her fields and her firesides. And among
them all
there was not a man who had come forth to fight for slavery.
Thomas L. Snead, on the Missouri State Guard in his book, Fight For
General Hebert's Life in Brief
Louis Hebert, a first cousin of General Paul O. Hebert, and a
brother-in-law of Gen. Walter H. Stevens, was born in Iberville Parish,

sugar interests. During the years before the outbreak of the War for
Independence, he was an officer of militia; a member of the state
senate, and
chief engineer of La. Hebert
entered the Confederate Army as a colonel of the
3rd La. Infantry. He fought with credit at Wilson's
Creek, and was captured
with a large part of his command at the battle of Elkhorn. After being
he was promoted to brigadier general on May 26, 1862. He commanded the
Brigade of Gen. Henry Little's division of Price's army in North
taking a gallant part in the battles of Iuka, Corinth, and in the siege
Vicksburg. He was subsequently and until the end of the war in charge
of the
heavy artillery in and around Fort Fisher, North Carolina; and also
acted as
engineer of the Confederate War Dept in that state. He returned to La.
upon the
cessation of hostilities and spent the remaining years of his life

Brig. General John G. Pratt Memory Honored
A year long project to honor further the memory of General John G. Pratt has finally come to fruition in Portland, Connecticut. Hebert Camp 1st.Lt.Commander , Perry Vannoy, started a search for the gravesite of the General and by library research and electronic communications he was able to contact and establish communications with Hartford, Connecticut Historian and Archivist Robert G. Carroon Mr. Carroon was able to locate the Pratt family burial plot in the town of Portland, Connecticut .There was nothing on the burial markers to indicate that Mr. Pratt had been a CSA General or a resident and sugar cane planter in Opelousas, Louisiana .
In a series of written and phone conversations over the course of a year , Compatriot Perry Vannoy and Mr. Carroon planned a memorial service to be held at the gravesite with local re-enactors of both the Union and Confederate Armies, all descendants of soldiers of the War Between The States in attendance.
The Louis Hebert Camp 2032 commissioned a bronze plaque to be manufactured with the inscription written by local Louisiana resident Mr. Pratt Munsen, great -great grandson of General Pratt.
On Sunday, July 30, 2006, in Portland, Connecticut, the above plaque was placed on the Pratt Tombstone in a reverent ceremony attended by Camp 2032 Commander Clarence Bonin and Compatriot Donald Boudreaux, and Mr. Pratt Munsen and a dozen members of his family all descendants of General Pratt.

Quote #1
Dean had dispatched the occupant of the apartment to the kitchen, probably to make coffee, while he proceeded with his love problems, for to him sex was the one and only holy and important thing in life, although he had to sweat and curse to make a living and so on. (I.1.4)
Sal immediately presents Dean's sexual desires as the core of his personality.
Quote #2
Dean got up nervously, paced around, thinking, and decided the thing to do was to have Marylou make breakfast and sweep the floor. "In other words we've got to get on the ball, darling, what I'm saying, otherwise it'll be fluctuating and lack of true knowledge or crystallization of our plans." Then I went away. (I.1.4)
Dean constricts the women in his life to certain gender roles.
Quote #3
"And where's Marylou?" I asked, and Dean said she'd apparently whored a few dollars together and gone back to Denver - "the whore!" (I.1.6)
Though Marylou behaves the same way the men do, they call her a "whore" for her actions.

S&P, Already Bearish, Doesn't Dwell On The 'cliff'
By The Associated Press
Standard & Poor's, the ratings agency that sent the stock market into a tailspin last year when it downgraded its rating on U.S. debt, said Friday that it doesn't expect the "fiscal cliff" negotiations to affect its current rating on the U.S.
That's not because S&P is particularly bullish on U.S. finances. Rather it's because S&P isn't optimistic about the U.S. rating, regardless of a budget deal.
If there is no deal, the U.S. economy could shrink by half a percentage point in 2013, S&P said. Unemployment, now at 7.7 percent, could rise above 9 percent in 2014.
But even a successfully brokered deal probably wouldn't be enough to place the country's public finances "on a sustainable footing" for the medium term, the agency said. S&P already has a "negative outlook" on the U.S., meaning it could lower its rating. The "fiscal cliff" refers to higher taxes and lower government spending that will kick in starting Tuesday, if Republicans and Democrats can't hammer out a budget compromise by Monday night. Worries over the "fiscal cliff" have pushed U.S. stocks down for five trading days in a row, the longest decline since July. It's a scene reminiscent of August 2011, when S&P lowered its rating on the U.S. from the top "AAA" down a notch to "AA+." That is still well within "investment grade" territory, but the psychological blow was enough to send the market reeling. At the time S&P cited "political brinkmanship" as lawmakers argued over whether to raise the government's "debt ceiling," or borrowing limit. The ratings agency said then that "America's governance and policymaking (is) becoming less stable, less effective and less predictable." Friday it added, "We believe that this characterization still holds."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

PharmaTrust said its MedCenter remote pharmacy dispensing machines have been called "industry-changing technology" by news network CNN.
Supplier News Breaks
OAKVILLE, Ontario – PharmaTrust said its MedCenter remote pharmacy dispensing machines have been called "industry-changing technology" by news network CNN.
The Oakville, Ontario-based company said Wednesday that in a piece airing on Aug. 22, CNN editorial producer Nadia Bilchik explained in her segment on stories happening overseas that the MedCenters would impact the pharmacy industry in a similar way that ATM machines changed the banking world.
"We are excited that CNN took the time to dig deep and understand the differences that make our technology a game-changer," PharmaTrust chief executive Peter Suma said in a statement. "Our early customers, partners and ourselves have recognized the innovative nature of this technology and its potential impact on the pharmacy industry for years, so we're pleased to see it finally receiving global recognition."
MedCenters use advanced robotics, scanning and videoconference technology to connect individuals to a pharmacist in another location, take a digital scan of a prescription, and then count out or select the appropriate medication and release it to the patient, a process controlled remotely by the pharmacist at the other end of the videoconference, according to PharmaTrust.
The company said it has been successfully operating MedCenters in select Ontario locations since 2007. It has an office in Minneapolis, recently opened an office in Britain (where trials of MedCenter are slated to begin this fall) and is set to announce the opening of a Chicago office and Kansas-based data center soon.
"What we are seeing is a global trend of increased need for access to pharmacy services in markets under increasing fiscal pressures," commented Suma. "The PharmaTrust MedCenters create cost efficiencies, broaden the reach of existing pharmacy services and make accessing those services a more convenient, more streamlined process."
PharmaTrust noted that the MedCenter technology, by handling the more technical aspects of the dispensing of prescription, frees up pharmacists to spend more time counseling patients.
"We are exploring many ways that this technology could be adapted to support increased access to quality health care services globally," Suma added. "This is truly just the beginning of where the MedCenter technology could take us."

Inside This Issue - News
The announcement, made late last month, that Jürgen Schreiber was resigning from his position as president and chief executive officer of Shoppers Drug Mart (SDM) caught his colleagues, the pharmacy sector and the financial community by surprise.
CVS Caremark Corp. has moved up Larry Merlo's succession to chief executive officer to March 1.
The centrality of pharmacists and pharmacies to the health and wellness of Americans — regardless of what happens with health care reform — will be highlighted in March at the third annual NACDS RxImpact Day on Capitol Hill.
As it moves deeper into its second century in business, Walgreen Co. will become less of a retail drug store and more of a health and daily living store, chief executive officer Greg Wasson said at the company's annual shareholders meeting here.
Duncan Mac Naughton has been promoted to chief merchandising officer for Walmart's U.S. stores.
Congress and the courts, like the American public, remain divided on the health care reform law.
Drugstore.com is looking to turn its Facebook fans into shoppers.
Navarro Discount Pharmacy plans to add as many as 20 stores over the next three years as the drug chain expands beyond Florida's Miami-Dade County.
Kinney Drugs has scheduled medicine collection days this month and in March.
Members of Rite Aid Corp.'s wellness+ program can earn a "$20 +UP Reward" and be automatically entered into a sweepstakes featuring over $100,000 in prizes as part of the retailer's Winter Rewards program.
The National Association of Chain Drug Stores has launched NACDS Mobile, a mobile web site that serves as a "guide on the go" to the organization's meetings, advocacy and public relations.
Walgreen Co. has promoted several executives and created a new position in its upper management ranks.

The Pennsylvania Wilds recently brought in seven new artists and three new trail stops from the 12-and-a-half county PA Wilds region. Ta Enos, PA Wilds Small Business Ombudsman, says the artisan trail initiative has been in place since 2003 and is a project of the PA Wilds. "It focuses on raising profitability and promoting artists in our region," Enos said. "The brand displays high quality products so they can be sold at a higher price, and it helps artists get their products to market."
JOHNSONBURG – To kick off the holiday season, the Johnsonburg Recreation Board is sponsoring a Santa Gathering to welcome Santa on Sunday, Nov. 20 at the Johnsonburg Community Center. The event will be held from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. There will be music performed by Bells of St. Marys and the Grey Knight Drum and Bugle Corp. Games, activities, crafts and face-painting will be provided for the children. A soup, bake sale and Chinese auction will be conducted and proceeds benefit the Johnsonburg Community Center.
Stacie Johnson-Leske, a ceramics artist, recently relocated to the area with her husband because she was intrigued by the Pennsylvania Wilds. "My husband and I like to do outdoorsy things for our anniversary every year," said Johnson-Leske. "We researched the PA Wilds and found that Ridgway had both bicycle trails and kayaking. So we stayed at a bed and breakfast in St. Marys and visited Ridgway." Able to create her art anywhere, Johnson-Leske had made the transition to Ridgway.
The Ridgway Lady Elker volleyball team celebrated its 2011 season with a banquet Thursday night at Francis S. Grandinetti Elementary School.

She also recognized the booster club with the members being Woodford, Mike and Carol Ames and Keith and Debbie Oknefski along with parents who helped at the concession stand.
JOHNSONBURG – Teammates, family, friends and coaches gathered Thursday for a banquet to close out the Johnsonburg Ramettes' 2011 volleyball season. "When we started the season, I really wasn't sure how we were going to end up," said Johnsonburg head girls varsity volleyball coach Bill Shuey said. "I didn't know what our record would be and after the Union tournament and a slow start, we did end up playing some volleyball later in the day and we actually took second to Elk County Catholic."

TripAdvisor And Kiva Launch Partnership
NEWTON, Mass., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TripAdvisor ® , the world's largest travel site*, and Kiva, the world's first microlending platform, have launched a unique new partnership connecting travelers from the TripAdvisor community with Kiva borrowers in countries the travelers have visited.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/57940-tripadvisor-and-kiva-launch-partnership
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121204/MM22229LOGO)
Kiva is a nonprofit organization working to alleviate poverty around the world by connecting people through microlending. Thousands of borrowers in 66 countries are listed on Kiva, such as a farmer in Peru, a fisherman in Indonesia, or a seamstress in Cambodia. Lenders read about borrowers on Kiva.org and choose which ones to support with a loan of $25 or more. Even a small loan can create new opportunities for loan recipients, their families, and their communities.
The TripAdvisor/Kiva partnership reaches travelers who have been to one of these countries and written a review for that trip on TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor then invites these travelers to choose a borrower in the country they visited to receive a $25 microloan on Kiva.org. The loans are entirely funded through a $250,000 contribution from TripAdvisor and come at no cost to the traveler. This marks the first time Kiva has worked with a company offering microloans to its customers in the countries where they have just been. Only those traveler who have written reviews in countries served by Kiva will be invited to make a TripAdvisor $25 microloan. "We're thrilled to work with Kiva and support such a worthy cause," commented Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer, TripAdvisor. "We're also delighted to be able to provide our community with a way of giving back to the communities they traveled to, where even a single relatively small loan can make a life changing difference." "This partnership combines the power of TripAdvisor's crowdsourcing and Kiva's crowd funding to make meaningful change in the world," said Premal Shah, President of Kiva. "As global citizens none of us are visitors, we are all connected. Nothing makes this more clear than when we travel. Through this partnership, the affinity you develop for the people and places you visit can continue when you return home. In most places in the world, often only a relatively small amount of money stands between a person and their dream to start or expand their shop, send their children to school, or bring solar light and clean water into their homes." How the Kiva and TripAdvisor partnership works:- When a traveler reviews a hotel, vacation rental, restaurant or attraction in a Kiva-supported country on one of TripAdvisor's English-language sites (US, UK, Canada, Ireland, and Australia), that reviewer is eligible to make a $25 microloan to a recipient in that country. This microloan is funded by TripAdvisor.
- After submitting a review for an eligible country, the user will receive an email from TripAdvisor with information about the microloan. This email directs the reviewer to Kiva.org, where the $25 microloan gift from TripAdvisor can be applied. Microloan gifts will only be offered for the user's first review of each eligible country.
- The reviewer can see personal and business details of potential borrowers in that country. The reviewer selects a borrower and Kiva then facilitates the loan.
- Funds contributed by TripAdvisor will be lent and relent for one year by TripAdivsor travelers. After that year, 100 percent of the repayments will be donated by TripAdvisor to Kiva. The average repayment rate of loans facilitated on Kiva.org is 99 percent.

Deaths as Israeli forces storm Gaza aid ship
At least nine people have been killed after Israeli commandos stormed a convoy of ships carrying aid to the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army says.
Armed forces boarded the largest vessel overnight, clashing with some of the 500 people on board.
It happened about 40 miles (64 km) out to sea, in international waters.
Israel says its soldiers were shot at and attacked with weapons; the activists say Israeli troops came on board shooting.
The activists were attempting to defy a blockade imposed by Israel after the Islamist movement Hamas took power in Gaza in 2007.
This was always going to be a high-risk operation for Israel both in terms of reputation and diplomatic repercussions.
Taking over vessels at sea is no easy task, even if the units carrying out the mission are well-trained, and it is especially difficult if the people already on board the vessels resist.
The full details of what happened will emerge in time, but in political terms the damage has already been done.
The deaths threaten to make what was always going to be a potential public relations disaster for Israel into a fully-fledged calamity.
There has been widespread condemnation of the violence, with several countries summoning the Israeli ambassadors serving there.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon said he was "shocked by reports of killings and injuries" and called for a "full investigation" into what happened.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is in Canada, has cancelled a scheduled visit to Washington on Tuesday to return to Israel, officials said.
Earlier, he expressed his "full backing" for the military involved in the raid, his office said.
The White House said the US "deeply regrets the loss of life and injuries sustained" in the storming of the aid ship.
A spokesman said US officials were "currently working to understand the circumstances surrounding this tragedy".
'Guns and knives'The six-ship flotilla, carrying 10,000 tonnes of aid, left the coast of Cyprus on Sunday and had been due to arrive in Gaza on Monday. Israel had repeatedly said the boats would not be allowed to reach Gaza.
Israel says its soldiers boarded the lead ship in the early hours but were attacked with axes, knives, bars and at least two guns.
"Unfortunately this group were dead-set on confrontation," Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev told the BBC.
"Live fire was used against our forces. They initiated the violence, that's 100% clear," he said.
Organisers of the flotilla said at least 30 people were wounded in the incident. Israel says 10 of its soldiers were injured, one seriously.
A leader of Israel's Islamic Movement, Raed Salah, who was on board, was among those hurt.
Contact with activists on the ships was lost after the raids and no first-hand accounts from them have yet emerged.
Arafat Shoukri, of the Free Gaza Movement (FGM) which organised the convoy, said those on board one ship had told them by telephone that Israeli helicopters had arrived.
"Then we started to hear screams, shouting, shooting everywhere," he said. "We heard some of them shouting 'we are raising the white flag, stop shooting at us'."
He said Israeli claims that activists had pistols and other weapons were "cheap propaganda".
Audrey Bomse, also of the FGM, told the BBC that the activists were "not going to pose any violent resistance".
By midday Israel had towed three of the six boats to the port of Ashdod and says it will deport the passengers from there.
CondemnationTurkish TV pictures taken on board the Turkish ship leading the flotilla appeared to show Israeli soldiers fighting to control passengers.
- Consists of three cargo ships and three passenger ships
- Casualties reported on the Mavi Marmara passenger ferry
- Mavi Marmara is one of three ships provided by Insani Yardim Vakfi (IHH), a Turkish aid organisation with links to the Turkish government
- Other ships are organised by the Free Gaza Movement, an international coalition of activist groups
- Up to 600 mostly Turkish passengers, tonnes of cement and at least two journalists on board the Mavi Marmara
The footage showed a number of people, apparently injured, lying on the ground. A woman was seen holding a blood-stained stretcher.
Al-Jazeera TV reported from the same ship that Israeli navy forces had opened fire and boarded the vessel, wounding the captain.
The Al-Jazeera broadcast ended with a voice shouting in Hebrew, saying: "Everybody shut up!"
Israel's deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said his country "regrets any loss of life and did everything to avoid this outcome".
He accused the convoy of a "premeditated and outrageous provocation", describing the flotilla as an "armada of hate".
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas condemned Israel's actions, saying it had committed a massacre, while Hamas said Israel had committed a "great crime and a huge violation of international law".
Turkey, whose nationals comprised the majority of those on board, accused Israel of "targeting innocent civilians".
Turkey was Israel's closest Muslim ally but relations have deteriorated over the past few years.
In Turkey, thousands of protesters demonstrated against Israel in Istanbul, while several countries have summoned Israeli ambassadors to seek an explanation as to what happened.
Greece has withdrawn from joint military exercises with Israel in protest at the raid on the flotilla.
Israel had repeatedly said it would stop the boats, calling the campaign a "provocation intended to delegitimise Israel".
Israel says it allows about 15,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid into Gaza every week.
But the UN says this is less than a quarter of what is needed.

HMS Dauntless, the second of six formidable Type 45 air defence warships being built for the Royal Navy, arrives in her home port of Portsmouth, Hampshire for the first time.; Built by BAE Systems, the Type 45 destroyer was launched in January 2007 from its Govan shipyard in Glasgow and since then has been carrying out sea trials in Scottish waters.; The Type 45s are the largest and most powerful air defence destroyers ever built for the Royal Navy and all will be based in Portsmouth.
Liz Coates
Thursday, January 17, 2013
PRIDE and pageantry are set to accompany the borough's adopted warship when she sails into Great Yarmouth for only her second visit since affiliation.
Dependent on operational priorities, HMS Dauntless will arrive "home" next month to cement a "strong and vibrant" relationship which began almost three years ago.
The powerful destroyer whose first deployment was to the simmering South Atlantic and the Falkland Islands is planning a raft of charitable acts and civic engagements.
A spokesman for the Royal Navy said it was too soon to release full details of the visit, scheduled for the first half of next month, but that preparations were going on behind the scenes.
It is understood she will be sailing to Yarmouth from Portsmouth and the visit will include a parade. Her new commander Adrian Fryer said the ship was undergoing a period of maintenance and a crew change.
He said: "The ship has an impressive array of liaisons that appear to be strong and vibrant and this is something I am keen to see continue."
He added he was looking forward to meeting friends and affiliates and hoped as many local people as possible would involve themselves in the visit and "their" ship.
Leader of Great Yarmouth Borough Council Trevor Wainwright said the visit would boost morale and lift local pride.
"We are very pleased it is making a return visit and immensely proud. We will do everything we can to make the visit as successful as the last one. It is really good news for the town."
The Type 45 destroyer is the fifth vessel to carry the Dauntless name and her prime role is air defence, protecting against enemy aircraft and missiles.
When Dauntless first visited in October 2010 thousands of people turned out to greet her. Bus loads of people took the opportunity to go on board and see first hand the sophisticated gadgetry that sets new standards in air defence.
1 comment
I bet it will be really difficult to get to the Ship Open To Visitors, as per usual the towns so called dignitaries will take first dibs. Just another fiasco regarding access through the Outer Failure owned land.

Summer Internships in the Attorney General's Office
The Attorney General's Office offers summer internships for law students going into their second or third year of law school. The internships generally last ten weeks, with two division rotations, depending upon the interests of the interns and the needs of the office. Interns have opportunities to assist with legal research and writing, observe hearings and trials, attend meetings and interviews, and participate in myriad activities in support of the legal mission of the office. We strive to make the internships rewarding experiences for the law students who join us and are enthusiastically told by former participants that we are very successful in that regard. A stipend is available.
The Office's Recruitment Committee usually begins interviewing law students in February for the following summer, and concludes in March.

According to Article 13 of the Basic Law, Hong Kong's foreign relations and defense are the responsibility of China. However, Hong Kong is a customs territory and economic entity separate from the rest of China and is able to enter into international agreements on its own behalf in commercial and economic matters. Hong Kong, independently of China, participates as a full member of numerous international economic organizations including the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC), and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). It is an articulate and effective champion of free markets and the reduction of trade barriers.
U.S. policy toward Hong Kong is stated in the U.S.-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 and grounded in the determination to promote Hong Kong's prosperity, autonomy, and way of life. The United States maintains substantial economic and political interests in Hong Kong. The U.S. supports Hong Kong's autonomy under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework by concluding and implementing bilateral agreements; promoting trade and investment; broadening law enforcement cooperation; bolstering educational, academic, and cultural links; supporting high-level visits of U.S. officials; and serving the large community of U.S. citizens and visitors.
Hong Kong is active in counterterrorism efforts. Hong Kong has joined the Container Security Initiative and remains an important partner in efforts to eliminate funding for terrorist networks and combat money laundering. Hong Kong participated in the Secure Freight Initiative in a limited capacity from November 2007 to April 2009. Hong Kong has passed legislation designed to bring it into compliance with applicable UN anti-terror resolutions and with most Financial Action Task Force recommendations. In 2010, Hong Kong passed legislation allowing it to adopt the most recent globally recognized standards for exchange of tax information. It has subsequently signed bilateral tax agreements with Brunei, Hungary, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Liechtenstein, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria, and France.
The United States enjoys substantial economic and social ties with Hong Kong. There are some 1,400 U.S. firms, including 817 regional operations (288 regional headquarters and 529 regional offices), and over 60,000 American residents in Hong Kong. According to U.S. Government statistics, U.S. exports to Hong Kong totaled $26.6 billion in 2010. The U.S. trade surplus with Hong Kong was the largest of any U.S. surplus in 2010, owing largely to Hong Kong imports of American aircraft and spacecraft, diamonds, telecommunications equipment, and computer processors. According to Hong Kong statistics, U.S. direct investment in Hong Kong at the end of 2009 totaled about $40.5 billion (2010 figures are not yet available), making the United States one of the largest investors in Hong Kong, along with China, the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Japan, and the Netherlands.
Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of autonomy as a separate customs territory, with no changes to borders, staffing, or technology export controls since the 1997 handover. Intellectual property rights (IPR) protection is relatively strong and Hong Kong continues to take steps to improve both its legislation and its enforcement regime. Amendments to improve protections for copyrighted materials were passed in 2007, and additional amendments to protect on-line content are expected in the third quarter of 2011.

Hong Kong is the major gateway to China and much of East Asia. International air service is excellent and fares are relatively cheap. Visitors should reconfirm onward or return tickets well before departure or seats may be lost. Departure tax is about US$8. In June 1998 Hong Kong opened its new international airport - Chek Lap Kok - on Lantau Island. There's also an international train link between Hong Kong and Guangzhou (Canton) and a new six-lane highway. An express train to Beijing takes about 30 hours. Several transport companies in Hong Kong offer bus services to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and several other destinations in Guangdong Province. There are also boats that take you to destinations in Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces.
Getting Around
Hong Kong is small and crowded, which makes public transport the only practical way to get around. Public transport is cheap, fast, widely used and generally efficient. The bus system is extensive and bewildering but you will need it to explore the south side of Hong Kong Island and the New Territories. The north side of Hong Kong Island and most of Kowloon are well-served by Hong Kong's ultra-modern Mass Transit Railway (MTR). Three tunnels link Hong Kong with Kowloon.
The Kowloon-Guangzhou (Canton) Railway (KCR) runs from Kowloon to the Chinese border at Lo Wu. Light Rail Transit (fast, modern, air-con trams) run in the New Territories, connecting the city of Tuen Mun with Yuen Long. Double-decker trams trundle along the northern side of Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong's ferries are usually faster and cheaper than buses and trams. They are also fun, and the harbour views are stunning when the weather cooperates. Hoverferries are about twice as fast as conventional boats.

QLabel text align wit StyleSheet
Is it possible to set the text-align for a QLabel with style sheet?
I tried the "obvious" QLabel { text-align: center; } but it doesn't work.
14 replies
Did you try setAlignment [doc.qt.nokia.com]?
Sure, setAlignment works, but it has to be called from code. I'm interested in doing it with CSS style sheet.
setAlignment [doc.qt.nokia.com]?Did you try
In the reference of text-align wrote:
- This property is currently supported only by QPushButton and QProgressBar.
Only for alignment properties or for all supported property types [qt-project.org] ?
You will have to distinguish between
- Properties as in Style Sheet Properties [qt-project.org], like border, border-radius or background-color, which are part of the CSS specification
- Properties as in Qt's Property System [qt-project.org], like QLabel::alignment, QLabel::text or QLabel::wordWrap, which are part of a QObject's definition (using Q_PROPERTY)
You can use style sheets not only to set CSS properties, but also to set QObject properties, given that you prefix them with qproperty- (so for example to set the QLabel::alignment property you will have to use qproperty-alignment) so the engine knows you are referring to a QObject property, not a CSS property.
- QLabel label;
- label.setStyleSheet("border: 1px solid red;"
- "border-radius: 3px;"
- "background-color: white;"
- "qproperty-alignment: AlignCenter;"
- "qproperty-text: 'This is some rather long text.';"
- "qproperty-wordWrap: true;");
Lukas, you made my day! I just tested it and it works like a charm.
The only thing that i dont get working is to set something like this:
- QLabel label;
- label.setStyleSheet("qproperty-alignment: AlignBottom AlignRight;");
does this work ?
- m_label1 = new QLabel;
- m_label1->setText("
The Qtkdkdkd didds hd duddbs shdydyd djudhdyddd dhdydysisi jdjfjfjf pgphohkgjfufh dhdhdbhfjfn fnhfhfhfkjf fjfhfhfjhjfn jfjfjdigdfkfi ifgjufhkfjjfi gigigjgj gifiuffhfk kjfjfj jjfjfjgfj kigkgkgkgk kiggigim
");
- m_label1->setWordWrap(true);
The only thing that i dont get working …
You've forgotten the | (mind the quotes).
- QLabel label;
- label.setStyleSheet("qproperty-alignment: 'AlignBottom | AlignRight';");

For years, Barrie wanted to be big enough to be a riding by itself.
Now, it's so big, it's being split again,
It was only in 2004 when Barrie voters got a unified voice in sending representatives to the House of Commons. Provincially, the new Barrie riding went into effect with the 2006 election.
Now, the Federal Electoral Districts Ontario Commission is drawing a line along Tiffin Street to split the city in two.
"We are joining the ranks of bigger cities across the country who will have multiple voices in Ottawa and Queen's Park, and that should mean that many more voices for our interests as a community," said Mayor Jeff Lehman.
Barrie MP Patrick Brown said Barrie's riding is currently "almost double the size of other ridings".
"We deserve enhanced political clout in the Commons," he said.
Both Lehman and Brown recognized the diversity in and outside Barrie.
"One of the challenges is that the two ridings are really not comprised of communities of interest. I'm not sure someone living in the northernmost part of Oro-Medonte will feel they have many of the same local issues as a residents in downtown Barrie, or vice versa. This will make the job of representing the area more difficult, although not impossible," Lehman said. "Most ridings around the country have some degree of difference in the communities they compromise."
Originally Dunlop Street was to be the dividing line between Barrie-Innisfil and Barrie-Oro-Springwater.
Last fall, the commission hosted public hearings, including an October day in Barrie, at which politicians of all stripes urged Dunlop Street not be the dividing line – including Lehman.
"It didn't make much sense that downtown Barrie and the waterfront would be split between two ridings. While Tiffin still means the waterfront is partly in the south riding, most of the city centre is intact in one riding and I think that the boundary makes more sense in terms of the realities of Barrie's geography," he added.
Oro-Medonte Mayor Harry Hughes wasn't impressed the plan includes some of urban Barrie, Springwater Township and Oro-Medonte to Line 9 North.
"Our municipality will be split, part will get chopped up," said Hughes, who was equally unimpressed with the new riding name – which chops off Medonte.
Oro-Medonte dates back a series of township amalgamations in the 1990s, and ever since, residents have been keen to keep both names as they merged.
"We're one municipality and we never mention Oro without Medonte and Medonte without Oro," he said. The new riding "will not go well with our council or our residents."
Innisfil's voice was heard in the naming of the new riding that was originally proposed as Barrie South. Innsifl Mayor Barb Baguely suggested including Innisfil in the name.
"Geographically, the Town of Innisfil will represent approximately 80 per cent of the total area of the new riding. Failure to recognize that would be a failure to our community and all of our residents," she told the commission when it held hearings in Barrie Oct. 17.
Innisfil is now part of York-Simcoe, which is a U-shaped riding that wraps around the bottom of Lake SImcoe, including Georgina and East Gwillimbury.

I've missed a few days, so let's get caught up, shall we?
The position battles continue to rage, mostly centering on the Melky vs. Gardner thing, which remains undecided. Bryan Hoch writes that the team is still open to trading Melky, should they find a team that's interested. Notwithstanding any injuries, I don't see the Yanks getting much in return for Melky, and so a trade is unlikely. The thing is, the team has no minor league options remaining for Cabrera, so any demotion will mean a team could claim Melky off waivers. (That, I can see happening).
The other battles are sort of coming together: Xavier Nady, for now, has the inside track to play more games than Nick Swisher. YanksBlog's Patrick covered the Nady news nicely on Tuesday if you need to get caught up.
Meanwhile, the other situation is figuring out just who the utility guy is going to be, as it's narrowed down to Angel Berroa and Ramiro Pena. Berroa would be the veteran guy if the Yanks want it, and Pena would be the speedy, youthful choice. This one probably isn't decided yet.
Still, despite these lingering positional questions--and the absence of A-Rod's bat--there are many who remain confident about this team. Phil Allard describes how strong the Yanks are at so many position, especially if Jorge Posada's shoulder holds up. GAKIII reports today that Posada is indeed feeling good.
I'm a little biased, but I agree that I'm feeling confident about the Yanks right now, even without A-Rod to start the season. Maybe it's attributable to, as Pete Caldera writes today, the good chemistry thing that's going on with the team these days. Maybe it's Mark Teixeira, who has the ability to carry the load in A-Rod's absence. Either way, with the team's strongest pitching staff in a decade, there's reason to be confident.
The Yanks are in Clearwater today to take on the champion Phillies.
In other news...
* My favorite news of the day: Bryan Hoch reports that Bob Sheppard was on WFAN, and announced that he will be back in the booth PA-ing starting April 3 for the exhibition game against the Cubs.
* This is day-old news, but despite a strong spring Kei Igawa won't be with the major league team to start the year. I would think the Yanks will continue to explore whether Igawa is tradeable.
* GAKIII's notes got me up to speed today: A-Rod could make some Tampa appearances before the Yanks head north, while Andy Pettitte's performance yesterday was solid -- 83 pitches, and 63 for strikes.
* Not sure what the Daily News is up to here, but a "panel of experts" predicts good things for CC Sabathia this season. Thanks?
* Austin Jackson may not be the starting CF-er yet, but one day he will be, and if Joe Girardi's right, he will be quite good...
* What a great, great late-round draft pick Pat Venditte could turn out to be.
* From the "We know, but there's nothing we can do about it" file: Hideki's DH-only status really hurts the team's flexibility, writes Anthony Rieber.
* 1960s super-sub Johnny Blanchard has died, at the age of 76. Blanchard was before my time, but a look at his Baseball Reference page tells you everything you need to know: In 707 at bats spanning the 1961 to 1963 seasons, Blanchard mashed 50 homers off the bench, driving in 138 runs. Pretty impressive for limited playing time...Condolences, and prayers, to the Blanchard clan today.
