What's up with ECONAR?
One of my Econar Geosource 2000 heat pumps was out (again) for 13 days. This is the 3rd winter season of operation and this unit is batting 1000 - been down in each winter season.
First time was scroll compressor, second time was computer board and fan relay, this time it was the fan motor and computer board.
Between my HVAC company waiting for 2 days after the initial diagnoses to order the parts, and Econar shipping the parts by Pony Express - we wound up being down for 13 days this time. Since the unit has been installed it has been down for a total of 25 days. That seems pretty bad to me.
My other 2 Econar heat pumps (3 ton units) have been rock solid. This 5 ton unit that keeps breaking down seems like a lemon. Unfortunately, the 5 ton unit is the most critical in heating the house.
After talking the the technician, he mentioned that Econar may have filed for bankruptcy - is that true? Now my HVAC service company no longer installs Econar (but they still service them). For new installs they switched to Florida Heat Pumps. The tech says they are much better than Econar.
Can anyone comment on Econar equipment? I thought they were supposed to be a good quality heat pump? Could I chaulk this up to bad luck or should I start looking for a new unit?
I never heard of them before. Nobody mentioned them when we soliciting GSHP quotes.
I took a look at their web site. Nothing about filing for bankruptcy, although I guess they wouldn't necessarily broadcast it if they did file.
Their dealer locater requires you to fill out a form and submit it to them in order to receive the privilege of knowing who sells their stuff. Not a good way to introduce yourself to potential customers in my opinion.
Check warranties and heat exchanger options carefully if you go decide to go with FHP.
That's it! I have a 6 ton dualtec unit and it was installed in 2000. Every year it has gone down a minimum of 2 times per winter. The unit has been pulled out 2 times and sent back to the manufacturing company for 3 months per time. I'm on my 6th scroll compressor, my energy bills ave $500.00/month in the winter. I actually broke down and bought a boiler to replace the crappy system. My bills are down to $350.00/month. Over the past 10 years I have had a series of problems. The manufactures solution for the problem was to to offer me to buy another new unit at a 5% discount. Great business Huh

I am a proud retiree from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It was formed June 14, 1775, making it older than the United States. Its engineering credentials are historic and it championed environmental protection for America's natural resources.
Environmentalists idolize John Muir, who adored the Corps.
"For many years they (Army engineers) have guarded the great Yellowstone Park and now they are guarding Yosemite. They have found it a desert, as far as underbrush, grass and flowers are concerned, but in two years, the skin of the mountains is healthy again. Blessings on Uncle Sam's soldiers, as they have done the job well, and every pine tree is waving its arms in joy" — Muir, a naturalist.
Please Google: National Park History Corps of Engineers involvement creating Yellowstone National Park.
If Al Johnson will obtain legislation, funding, silence a rogue judge, exclude frivolous lawsuits, gain approval of land-owners, railroads, etc. the Corps can remove and transfer cubic miles of sediments to adjacent topsoil-starved lands.
Essayons! Let us try!
Oh yeah! Flood waters are temporarily stored in the top five feet of reservoirs, not the bottom.
Bill McCaw befuddles again "describing any government action as socialism shows the person's lack of understanding of economics." Obama vowed to "fundamentally change the United States;" he seized private enterprise and awarded it to labor; appointed czars with absolute power over policy, legislation and regulation; violates the Constitution and Bill of Rights; willfully destroys value of the dollar; adds unsustainable debt to bankrupt America and dismisses citizen's voices. Sure smells like socialism.
McCaw used "pure socialism, "pure communistic socialism" and "pure unregulated capitalism." Pure forms of government cannot exist—segments of impure people run them.
McCaw states "without government regulation there is no limit to greed." Regulations fill boxcars yet criminal greed in government and private sectors flourishes from "favors for cash" activities. Influence everywhere is bought whether through bribes or tips, differing only through intended purpose.
Financial kingpins concentrate on making money through managing wealth-creating industries. It's their job. What is excessive profit? Sensible investors seek maximum profits. Who misunderstands economics?
Programs to help poor exist in every presidency. Johnson's Great Society instituted massive public housing projects, which were turned to rubble. Psychologists post mortem alleged poor were uneasy in new surroundings and reproduced slums for comfort zones. Freddie and Fanny pushed financial institutions for loans to unqualified people.
Oh well!

Sapi E, Pabbati N, Datar A, Davies EM, Rattelle A, Kuo BA. Improved Culture Conditions for the Growth and Detection ofBorrelia from Human Serum. Int J Med Sci 2013; 10(4):362-376. doi:10.7150/ijms.5698. Available from http://www.medsci.org/v10p0362.htm
AbstractIn this report we present a method to cultivate Borrelia spirochetes from human serum samples with high efficiency. This method incorporates improved sample collection, optimization of culture media and use of matrix protein. The method was first optimized utilizing Borrelia laboratory strains, and later by demonstrating growth of Borrelia from sera from fifty seropositive Lyme disease patients followed by another cohort of 72 Lyme disease patients, all of whom satisfied the strict CDC surveillance case definition for Lyme disease. The procedure resulted in positive cultures in 47% at 6 days and 94% at week 16. Negative controls included 48 cases. The positive identification of Borrelia was performed by immunostaining, PCR, and direct DNA sequencing.
In summary, this report provides evidence for the value of a novel method for culturing Borrelia from human serum samples. The inclusion of key components such as modified culture media plus a unique culture environment has resulted in an improvement in the ability to cultivate this organism. This new culture method directly addresses the issue of the low numbers of Borrelia in clinical samples by amplifying their quantity through long term culture in which Borrelia were able to thrive for as long as eight months (data not shown). The versatility of this method allows for samples to be harvested from the culture at any point in time for further study, and it also serves as a source of Borrelia for a variety of direct detection techniques as well as for additional research. Finally, this unique culture method could play an important role in providing useful diagnostic information for select Lyme disease patients who might have tested negatively by other methods.AcknowledgementsThe authors thank Dr. Joseph Burrascano, Jr., Dr. Alan MacDonald and Dr. Parkash Gill for helpful discussion.

The Kite Runner

a great novel with strong themes and characters, has some very heartbreaking scenes but also some very heartwarming ones
I would have to agree with the reviewer for the Guardian, the novel starts out well, with lots of promise but halfway through it sort of falls apart and ends unbelievably, unrealistically.
I really can't see what all the fuss was about, maybe Oprah liked it?
Tragedy and melodrama--a bit overdone for my taste, but a powerful story with strong characters in extreme ethical dilemmas.
This poignant tale centres on the bond between two boys growing up in Kabul, a city on the brink of the Soviet invasion. Living in Afghanistan in the 1960s, Amir, the son of a successful businessman, enjoys a life of privilege that is shaped by his brotherly friendship with Hassan, his servant's son—until a tragedy occurs that marks a turning point in both boys' lives. Moving to the United States, where he realizes his dream of becoming a writer and marries the woman he loves, does not relieve Amir of his painful memories, and he will spend much of his life coming to terms with his boyhood act of cowardice, and seeking to make reparations.
I knew of a lot of people that read this book, but hadn't heard much about it, so I took a chance. I loved it - thought it was very suspenseful, and had a hard time putting it down. Definitely would recommend this to others.
A patron review from the Adult Summer Game: "This book is extremely well written! I like how the author incorporated the historical/political situations into the story. The relationship between the main characters Amir and Hassan create an intricate story in which reader can reread and find interesting themes/messages. Extremely well written!"
Wow. Not what I was expecting. I picked up this book, not hoping for much, but within the first couple chapters, my focus was captured by these pages. I didn't want to put it down. It was one of the most tragic, heartbreaking, hardest books I've ever read. This book definitely isn't for the faint of heart. I was left in awe for a lot of it, not believing what I had just read, trying to wrap my brain around the changing, twisting plot. The perfect book encompassing guilt and redemption. An incredible read, not my normal choice of topic, but amazing all the same.
AMAZING book.
Kite Runner is the best book I have read, so far. It is a roller coaster of emotions. Definitely a book that you will always remember. A must read
This book is exceptional.It captures every emotion ever known to humans.Its worth a summer read

"For you a thousand times over!" he said. Then he smiled his Hassan smile and disappeared around the corner. The next time I saw him smile unabashedly like that was twenty-six years later, in a faded Polaroid photograph.

"She said, 'I'm so afraid.' And I said, 'why?,' and she said, 'Because I'm so profoundly happy, Dr. Rasul. Happiness like this is frightening.' I asked her why and she said, 'They only let you be this happy if they're preparing to take something from you."
Then I realized something: that thought had brought no sting with it. Closing Sohrab's door, I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded, not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night. [313]
"It was only a smile, nothing more. It didn't make everything all right. It didn't make anything all right.
Only a smile. Any tiny thing. A leaf in the woods, shaking in the wake of a startled bird's flight.
But I'll take it. With open arms. Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe I just witnessed the first flake melting."
Assef knelt behind Hassan, put his hands on Hassan's hips and lifted his bare buttocks. He kept one hand on Hassan's back and undid his own belt buckle with his free hand. He unzipped his jeans. Dropped his underwear. He positioned himself behind Hassan.
"What a tight little sugary cunt she had!" the soldier was saying.
pg. 202 "There is only what you do and what you don't do," I said. Rahim Khan laughed. "You sounded like your father just now. I miss him so much. But it is God's will, Amir jan. It really is."
pg. 231 "I feel like a tourist in my own country," I said, taking in a goatherd leading a half-dozen emaciated goats along the side of the road.
Farid snickered. Tossed his cigarette. "You still think of this place as your country?"
pg. 244 Maneuvering the steering wheel with his mangled hand, he pointed to mud-hut villages along the way where he'd known people years before. Most of those people, he said, were either dead or in refugee camps in Pakistan. "And sometimes the dead are luckier", he said.
''and that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.''

U.S. stocks generated strong gains in the fourth quarter of 2014, with large-caps posting a sixth consecutive year of positive returns. The market found support in steady U.S. economic growth and renewed stimulus efforts in the eurozone and Japan. S&P 500 sector performance was mixed. Energy stocks tumbled as oil prices fell below $60 per barrel, a level not seen in more than five years. Telecommunication services and materials stocks fell to a lesser extent. On the plus side, utilities advanced by double digits, and consumer-oriented sectors benefited from lower energy costs and expectations for increased consumer spending. Small-cap stocks outpaced their mid- and large-cap counterparts.
The Tax-Efficient Equity Fund returned 6.28% in the quarter compared with 5.17% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index and 5.15% for the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2014, the fund returned 9.63% versus 12.44% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index and 11.08% for the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index. The fund's average annual total returns were 9.63%, 15.54%, and 7.82% for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively, as of December 31, 2014. The fund's expense ratio was 0.89% as of its fiscal year ended February 28, 2014.
Benchmark Definitions
Our health care stocks generated double-digit gains for the period. For several years, we have focused on the promising growth potential of biotech companies in the health care sector. This emphasis was rewarded during the quarter as these stocks posted some our best absolute returns. Our energy stocks were not immune to the broader factors weighing on the sector, which included a stronger dollar, tepid demand growth, and ample supply, and our shares fell sharply. We do not attempt to forecast the direction of oil prices or adjust our energy sector allocation in response to short-term oil price movements. Rather, we look for companies that we believe can extract resources at low costs and should emerge from the current environment in a stronger long-term competitive position.
We remain reasonably optimistic about the long-term environment for equities. The U.S. economy should continue to grow modestly, supported by broadly accommodative monetary policy, solid corporate fundamentals, and decent consumer spending. We believe that the core of the equity market remains reasonably valued and the outlook for equities is positive, although returns are likely to moderate somewhat from the exceptional gains seen in the recent past. We believe equity investors would do well to maintain a diversified portfolio of companies with good long-term business prospects that trade at reasonable valuations, keep performance expectations in check, and wait patiently for sustainable gains to accumulate over time.

Is there any other way of getting gapps on the phone?

In preparation for the Linux kernel 4.0 release, the project's official website Kernel.org has been renamed The Hurr Durr Archives. And a goofy, confused-looking Tux appears as the project mascot on the new site.
Last week, 60 kernel developers signed off on a small patch called the Code of Conflict that provides guidelines for discourse in the kernel community and outlines a path for mediation if someone feels abused or threatened. The code was written by kernel maintainer Greg K-H, supported by many of the most prolific maintainers and developers of the kernel community and accepted into the kernel by Linus Torvalds himself.
Dice and The Linux Foundation today are releasing their annual Linux Jobs Report, which details the responses of more than 1,000 hiring managers and 3,000 Linux professionals about the state of the Linux job market.
Working with Jon Corbet and Greg Kroah-Hartman to produce the 'Who Writes Linux' report is one of the most important research projects we do, as it surfaces important data and trends that offer some insight into how the Linux kernel development process is going and informs collaborative development practices across the industry. As the world's largest collaborative development project, Linux can teach us much.
Every year, the Linux Kernel Summit brings together about 100 core kernel developers and subsystem maintainers to discuss issues of importance to the development community as a whole. The 2014 Summit, held August 18-20 in Chicago (just before LinuxCon North America) covered a wide range of topics and made a number of decisions. But there is one outcome from this event that merits especially wide attention: the development community is getting better at what it does.
It's that time of year again! This year's Tizen Developer Conference is June 2-4 in San Francisco.
You have likely heard by now about the "Heartbleed" SSL vulnerability (CVE-2014-0160). Put simply from the perspective of a user of the Internet, this vulnerability means that for the last two years, any secure "your-browser-shows-a-lock" site you went to might have not really been secure, and an attacker could have been intercepting your passwords or sensitive data just like they can on "regular" non-SSL sites.

Blog post by Mike Dolan, director of members services, The Linux Foundation
There are many open source software projects out there today and any list of open source licenses alone shows you how much project diversity is out there. Just take a look at Github, Apache, Eclipse or The Linux Foundation and you'll find thousands of developers collaborating on the software that literally runs the world.
With an average number of 315 weddings per day, Las Vegas definitely takes a top spot on the list of locations for forging bonds. Ever since Ford CEO Alan Mulally's keynote at CES 2010 the automotive industry has come back to Sin City in early January for dates with consumer technologies. CES 2014 was no different except maybe that this time cars have taken center stage at the annual event. One could claim that the two industries have finally exchanged rings.
Now that linux.conf.au is over, there has been a bunch of information

I want to get some chickens for my backyard.
I live in Santa Rosa Ca, in what would probably be considered a residential neighborhood. I have a fully fenced back yard, that I am growing veggies in raised beds, and various assorted other plants. My neighbors are all VERY tolerant, and do not complain about anything... they all make much more noise than I do, and are outside all day in the summer time with loud 'oom pa pa' music from about 7:30 am til dark. Lots of loose kids, dogs, and garden plots in many yards. The people across the street have a herd of rabbits that are often loose in the neighborhood. My yard is approx 30'x25', and a long stretch of sidewalk to the gate. Oh, and I rent, but my landlord loves me and lets me do whatever I want here, because of all the improvements I have made to the property. There are people down the road who keep chickens, goats, horses, but they are a bit more rural residential than I am, and certainly have bigger yards. I cannot seem to find the zoning laws for my area, does anyone know of a free way to look those up? Also, is it practical to think about having chickens here? I am thinking 2 silkies, free range with a chicken tractor for sleeping in/ protection. I have 3 small cairn terrier dogs who will and do keep any other critters out of the yard, they have "treed" an oppossum several times now. They are pretty tolerant of any animal they view as "mine" but everything else better stay outta their yard... no rodents here:)Any advice?
Silkies would be a good choice because they don't fly or roost so won't end up in your neighbors yards.
The down side of that is that they can't get away from predators. They will need something solid to protect them from possum and such.
Silkies always remind me of little poodles when they are out running around...lol.
You will have to supervise the dogs with the silkies. They can be good for a long time....then something will excite them and you better be right there to call them off.
Sounds like a great neighborhood!
We have free-ranged our chickens for three years now without any problems with predators. We do have roosters in our flock and that helps, I'm sure. I haven't seen where possums ever bother grown chickens and we find them in the coop every now and then. Ours are locked up at night only.
With dogs, as long as they are fully aware that the chickens are part of their family, I don't think you would have to worry about predators at all even without a rooster. We don't have a dog but do have two cats that keep rodents out of the coops.
I was able to find the City of Santa Rosa's zoning codes here:
You want section 4, page 17. It basically states that you can have up to 25 chickens on a certain sized lot, and does not specifically exclude roosters--but that online code is dated 2004-2005, so it may have changed--call the City's zoning department and check for sure. Usually chickens/roosters are a noise nuisance and that's what they fall under for most cities' zoning codes.
As has been said, FENCE AND COOP your birds very securely. Loose dogs WILL kill your birds rather sooner than later. Do not EVER use chicken wire/poultry netting, it's way too flimsy. I use welded wire hardware cloth and have never lost a bird or had to repair the wire in the 13 years here.
With roosters, the big issue is not daytime noise, but that 4:30AM crowing that is the deal killer for the neighbors. If you do keep a roo, make sure he is securely cooped at night in an enclosed area that deadens the sound, you and your neighbors will be happier. Hens are quiet at night, but do cackle when laying an egg.
You MUST keep your birds in a secure coop at night, one that has a floor. The tractor is great for daytime, but predators can and will dig under wire at night. There's nothing more heartbreaking than coming out to a massacre in the morning and knowing you could have prevented it--we've read numerous stories to that effect here. You'll become very attached to your birds. :) Especially Silkies! Silkies are small, docile, calm and sweet. I currently have two Silkies hens in my flock. But be aware that your terriers may not be able to overcome instinct (you know your dogs better than anyone) and Silkies tend to not see too well because of their crests, and can be easy prey. I'd keep chickens and dogs separated to eliminate any possible problems.
We have possums here, and they are nasty nighttime predators. They killed one of my hens one night when we got home a bit late and hadn't closed the coop door before dusk. :( Our birds free range in the backyard during the day, and are cooped at night. Our yard is surrounded by a cinderblock fence.
You're going to love keeping chickens. :) It's a blast, very entertaining. Plus nothing beats spending time petting a chicken, it's an instant stress reducer. Chickens have loads of personality and make great pets, which comes as a big surprise to most people who tend to think of them as dumb animals. I have a chicken info site here that might help:
I'm in the suburban Los Angeles area and also rent, the neighbor kids call our house a 'farm' just because we have chickens!
Velvet ~:>
I also wish to have 4-5 chickens in the backyard, and have read a lot online (thanks everyone for posting on the topic, especially Velvet. I feel much more confident now). I would like to hear your suggestions about my plan.
I am considering the following breeds to get started:
1. Delaware
2. Buff Orpingtons
3. Barred Rocks
4. Australorps
5. Wyandottes
Our criteria are:
1. docile, calm and friendly (I have a 6 year old daughter and another boy coming this summer).
2. good egg layers (prefer brown egg, but will take white). I was leaning towards Rhode Island Reds and White Leghorns earlier, but after some more reading I start to worry about handling them.
I will build an elevated 4'X4' coop, with 4'X8' or 4'X10' attached pen in a chicken tractor setup.
thanks in advance. any suggestions or comments appreciated.
You could always call zoning and pretend you are from out of the area and interested in buying a house in your area. Any for sale signs around, use that address. Then ask your questions about animals. I say that because I don't trust any county or local government offices. Somebody could jot down your address for brownie points if what you want is not covered in zoning. Then your neighbors may end up having to get ride of their animals too. Sounds like you have a great neighborhood. I have a great neighborhood too, but know some of these critters around here are not allowed and I don't want zoning nosing around and my neighbors having to get rid of their animals. It is a sad truth, but it only take one nosey body to ruin everything. I hope it all works out and you can get your chickens home and happy!
Backyard chickens are wonderful. I also live in Northern California - across the bay from San Francisco. Our two Gingernut Rangers (cross between Rhode Island Red and Sussex) are great). We have modified free-ranging to make it so they have their part of the yard and we have a vegetable garden and landscaped areas that aren't trashed by scratchy feet and pecky beaks.
With your terriers, you will have to make some accommodations to make is so the dogs can't snack on your hens. There are ways to introduce the dogs and train them that the hens are off limits. Would be very happy to talk with you future if you'd like.
BTW - hens are just fine in Santa Rosa...as others posted; it's roosters that are the issue. It's a good idea to get pullets so you know which sex you're getting.

We have 3 barred rocks and 1 buff orp. Interesting enough, the Buff that we took in at age 1 is more docile and less skittish than the 3 PBRs we raised from 7 days. Maybe my 3 kids traumatized the PBRs :-)
My dog does great with our chickens, but I wouldn't trust my neighbors' dogs for nothing.

GhostWridah - Born & Raised ft. Shawty Lo
Artist: GhostWridah
Featuring: Shawty Lo
Producer: J Cardim
Album: The Ruler Is Back
Avg Rating: 2.4 ( 23 votes )
Upset that hip-hop has gone from a "platform for self-expression, creativity, and respect" to a "high school popularity contest," South Miami native GhostWridah has decided that its time hip-hop be given a new leader. Judging from his verses on the J Cardim-produced single, Born & Raised, listeners should be able to feel his passion with every line delivered. While the song's chosen collaborator, Shawty Lo, might not be lyrically capable of backing up the message, GhostWridah could competently control the track even without any assistance. Born & Raised will appear on the new album, The Ruler is Back, dropping later this month.

December Depression
For many people, the holidays are a time to reflect, be joyous and spend time with family. For others, like myself, all month, I've been trying to climb out of this dark and depressing place that only December can bring.
Kids not home for the holidays?
It's engrained in our minds from a young age that the holidays are a time meant for family. The media, the malls and even some employers push the idea that holidays are reserved for everyone coming together and creating memories. But when you're co-parenting coming together for the holidays may be a little tricky.
Elections matter to the smallest of voices
When I turned 18, I guess you can say I wasn't typical. I wasn't excited to buy a lottery ticket or a pack of cigarettes, I was more excited to become a registered voter. On March 1, 2004, I did just that. And what a year it was! On November 2, 2004, I voted in my first presidential election, Kerry and Bush. It was an exciting time in my life and an exciting time in our country.
How do you deal with a bad report card?
I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am mother of a four year old. One day, my little boy will grow up and become a black man. He just started school and I can't wait to get the first report card. Report cards are a valuable tool in analyzing progress and areas to improve upon.
Building a village
There are many moving parts and pieces when you're a parent. Most days, it can feel like you are being pulled in a thousand different directions. But what do you do combat the feeling of an overwhelmed life? A lot of parents are stretched thin – both with time and finances.

What to grow with Princess Diana
Hi, I have a Princess Diana that's been in the ground for probably five years or more. It's not bad but it just doesn't wow me like some of the other ones do. It grows up my porch railing (with help). Is there another clematis that would compliment it?
For me PD was a bit leggy & blooms in late April--earlier than most texensis hybrids. I put her with Abundance, which is much thicker and blooms at the same time. Both have small flowers, but different in form and both are good bloomers. PD has been twice moved and seems to benefit facing the morning sun. Kermesina also blooms in late April for me. A white Viticella, like Little Nell or Maria Cornelia might be nice. Good luck....
Thanks so much, Gary. I was trying to find a picture to show how it looked last year. Maybe I'm not giving it enough credit though, because it is a nice looking plant. It is just what it is, a smaller flowering clematis, and maybe I'm expecting too much from it. I've got a Henyi on the other side of the house and it just wows you. I'm looking into the ones you've listed.
I planted clematis "Princess Di" with "Solina"

This was in a great location and was clean and well above my expectations, however it is very quiet and not good for meeting other people. The view is amazing though!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Women make historic gains in cabinet shuffle
Manitobans Glover, Bergen promoted to front bench
For the first time in the province's history, women MPs will be calling the shots for Manitoba around the federal cabinet table.
Former Winnipeg Police Service media spokeswoman Shelly Glover becomes Manitoba's new senior MP and regional minister and will be dealing with big-ticket items like the extension of rapid transit and new flood protection.
The 46-year-old Glover was promoted to minister of heritage and official languages in a cabinet shuffle Prime Minister Harper announced on his Twitter profile Monday morning.
The Saint Boniface MP, first elected in 2008, was also named to Harper's powerful priorities and planning cabinet committee where all key decisions are discussed and made. The first big item on her plate is negotiating the new Building Canada Fund split with the Selinger government and Mayor Sam Katz.
Harper also bumped up Portage-MP Candice Bergen to cabinet, giving her the junior portfolio of minister of state for social development. Bergen will not be in charge of a government department per se, but be responsible for filling in for other government ministers when needed. Bergen will be working with Jason Kenney, who moves from his immigration portfolio to become the minister of employment and social development, the new name for what was the human resources ministry.
The promotion of Glover and Bergen also increases the number of women in Harper's cabinet by two to 12 and, according to some observers, brings a fresher, younger look to the Conservative government at a time when they are down in popular support against Justin Trudeau's Liberals and hounded by the Senate spending scandal.
"What an amazing opportunity," Glover said in a short address posted on Harper's YouTube channel. "I want to thank the prime minister for believing in me and giving me this chance to help my community and my country."
Glover has big shoes to fill. She replaces former Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, who retired from political life a week ago. Past Manitoba regional ministers include for Tory MP Jake Epp and Liberal MPs Reg Alcock and Lloyd Axworthy.
"I will do my very best, as I have always tried to do," Glover added in the YouTube clip.
University of Manitoba political scientist Paul Thomas said the addition of Glover and Bergen to cabinet can also be seen as an attempt by Harper to make his government more softer around the edges. Glover and Bergen were unavailable Monday.
Glover was promoted just weeks after she became locked in a dispute with Elections Canada over her 2011 election expenses. Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand went so far as to write to the Speaker of the House of Commons, saying Glover and another Manitoba Conservative MP, James Bezan, could no longer sit as MPs until their returns were adjusted. Last month Glover backed down and filed a new expense claim with Elections Canada.
Thomas said while both Glover and Bergen are tireless Harper supporters, their presence in cabinet is intended to make the Conservatives more appealing to women voters, traditionally the territory of the NDP and Liberals.
Thomas also said with more women sitting around the cabinet table, it might impact the type of issues brought forward, such as child care.
"The Conservatives under Stephen Harper have had a tough time getting women's values reflected," he said. "This could bring more attention. Women bring a different sensibility to these jobs."
What it also shows is a vote of confidence by Harper for Glover and Bergen, he said, adding both are strong defenders of the government and do not wilt under criticism either in Question Period or in television interviews.
"They are effective communicators," he said. "They come across as credible."
Glover rises to cabinet having served as parliamentary secretary to the minister of finance, and Bergen was the national face of the government in the dismantling of the long-gun registry. She was also parliamentary secretary to the minister of public safety. "This is an important step in their careers," Thomas added.
But it's a step that left one MP out.
Charleswood-St. James-Assiniboia MP Steven Fletcher was dropped from cabinet, something he blamed Monday on gender and geography.
Because of its population, the province only has two cabinet positions, and as Harper had said he wanted to promote more women, that left him out.
"I would have preferred to have left cabinet the traditional way -- with a sex scandal," he joked Monday. "There's been a lot worse things that have happened to me. Today is just a bump in the road."
Fletcher, the first quadriplegic to serve in the House of Commons and in cabinet, was minister of state for transport. He was first appointed to cabinet as minister of state for democratic reform in 2008.
He said his demotion will give him more time to be an advocate for Manitoba.
"I am quite happy to have served and, you know, the fact is it was the prime minister who said he wanted more female representation in cabinet. I did an excellent job in what I was asked to do. Candice and Shelly are very capable people."
Thomas said as long as the Conservatives stay in government, there's always a chance Fletcher could be brought back into cabinet.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper branded his cabinet shuffle as offering "new faces and experienced hands." How would you describe the new federal cabinet?

Never again!Posted Nov 7, 2012
Firstly, I did check in very late on the Saturday but that is the beauty of booking online. When I arrived there with my daughter we eventually have someone come - a guest to let us in and told us we could sit in the kitchen and we should just wait. We waited for what seemed like hours, two to be correct. The gentleman looking after the place was very polite and kind and said I could use the phone and left. The following morning, Sunday we were woken up by I would imagine the guy looking after the place getting sick in the bathroom. It was horrendous. But we waited patiently in the room for him to leave so that we could use the bathroom. That evening I decided to check out at 11 as I needed to get my daughter to school in the morning on the Southern suburbs side. So a friend came to collect me with another friend and loaded the car and left a huge big pink hello kitty bag either in the room or it was at the door because at the time I was carrying my child because she was asleep. When I called to find out if it was there the gentleman said that it was not there. So unfortunately I did not have a great time.

Guesthouse Bellevue 27, Capetown - close to cityPosted Apr 26, 2011 on Hotels.com
This is not a hotel, but a nice and little guesthouse with 4 rooms which are nice and cosy. Not for people who like to be pampered 24h and expect the sterile atmosphare of a big hotel. This self-catering accomodation (kitchen with dishwasher, washer and dryer) is more for young, independent people who don't mind sharing a bathroom with several other people. Really good located in a nice, quite and safe neighbourhood with bars, restaurants etc. in a walking distance between 5 - 15 min..Nice little terrace where you can enjoy a glas of wine at the evening.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
U of M educators study NHL impasse from differing perspective
Money morality
The National Hockey League lockout, in the simplest of terms, is a fight between players and owners over revenue and how to split up a $3.3-billion pie.
But if you ask Arthur Schafer -- a professor and director of the University of Manitoba's Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics -- it is also a fascinating morality play.
"The 'millionaires versus billionaires' analogy is a catchy way of encapsulating it, but I don't think that's what it's about," began Schafer. "My sense is the dispute isn't primarily about money. I think it's about honour, a sense of fairness and respect and solidarity. It's a kind of morality play. That might sound absurd and pretentious, but that's how it seems to me.
"It's the bosses versus the workers. Now, it's true the workers aren't living in hovels with coal in their bath tub. But honour really matters, sometimes more than money. They want a sense that they are respected, not that they are nothing."
Looking for a different perspective on the lockout and a fresh voice after listening to Gary Bettman, Donald Fehr et al blather on for months, the Free Press asked two teachers at the U of M -- Schafer and Sean MacDonald, an instructor at the Asper School of Business -- to weigh in with their thoughts on the dispute.
Schafer is studying the lockout from an ethics perspective; MacDonald as an expert in bargaining and labour negotiations.
And neither is expecting a quick resolution.
"As an outsider who follows these things I'm really concerned this could be a very long labour-relations battle," said MacDonald. "There are just so many bad things in play. Whenever there are two sides bargaining there are a variety of tactics used. One of them that Don Fehr uses all the time is 'deadline hunting.' That means that you push the deadline to whatever the perceived threshold is and at that time the hope is the other side will significantly capitulate.
"But there's not a deadline yet. What we've had, instead, is this discussion where they're not even using the same framework. One is talking about revenue sharing, the other is talking about a diminished share of growth revenue.
"It's different languages and there's no urgency."
Now, Schafer openly admits he is on the players' side in the debate -- not because he is particularly in line with their bargaining position, but because he is sympathetic to their fight against ownership squeezing them for more. And his take was only further solidified recently when Detroit Red Wings Senior VP Jimmy Devellano referred to the owners as ranchers and the players as cattle.
"To me, that comment perfectly encapsulates a perspective that at least some of the owners share," Schafer said. "But the players are saying, 'We're not going to take it and we don't have to.' I'm rooting for the players, I have to be honest. I can understand their fight for a sense of fairness and why they might feel 'dissed.' The players may be very rich, but to me this is a morality play and I know who's wearing the white hats and who is wearing the black hats.
"One way of getting around this is having some sort of compulsory arbitration, final-offer selection or some other mechanism to avoid the emotional anguish experienced by fans who are being deprived of hockey. I think the players and maybe the owners, too, feel this.
"But does that mean the players can't stand up for themselves? Because in the end, unless they are willing to go on strike, then the owners will treat them as cattle."
MacDonald's theory is that until the NHL brand is significantly impacted, the two sides will hold firm with their positions. He used the recent NFL labour dispute with its officials as an example: negotiations were going nowhere until the recent Monday Night Football controversy that awarded the Seattle Seahawks a last-play game-winning TD against the Green Bay Packers. Then, with the league's brand damaged, bettors angry and the credibility of further games potentially compromised, a deal was quickly struck.
Asked if the cancellation of NHL regular-season games could be the lockout's pressure point -- its Monday-Night Football fiasco, so to speak -- MacDonald wasn't so sure even that would be enough of an impetus to get a deal done.
"I saw after the Seattle's win on Monday Night Football that there were 70,000 messages left at the NFL head office," said MacDonald. "Here's the point: when you do that, you damage the brand. Right now, there's no public outrage (in the NHL lockout) and if there's no public pressure there's no brand damage yet.
"The one thing I would say is if it gets to a point where there's public outrage and there's brand devaluation that's going to occur, then that's going to get the attention of the owners. But right now we're a long way from that. A long way.
"Look," added MacDonald, "they were out for a year in '04-05 and still made record revenues. Both sides know the public isn't going to have a great deal of influence.
"Gary Bettman is right: we are the greatest fans, we are going to come back. Any threats ring hollow for a long time into the future."
