Charlie Angus Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, the answer should be fairly straightforward. Number one, when we bring forward legislation and we look to new laws, we have to bring forward witnesses, listen to witnesses, question witnesses on the veracity of their viewpoints, and we have to show basic respect for the fact that these witnesses have come forward.
I would like to speak about Ms. Tina Bradford who is a labour lawyer who tried to speak to the committee and she got all of 11 sentences in her statement. She was told by the chair that the committee was running out of time and that was the end of it. This is about whether or not someone should be allowed to vote and she was cut off after 11 sentences. This was an embarrassment. It was like a kangaroo court.
I asked her in questioning because I was the only one asking questions of witnesses who had taken the time to prepare briefs and the time to study. These were people who had come from the legal profession to provide the numbskulls that were looking at this legislation with answers. I cannot say it is anything else but numbskulls. If people are not going to do their homework, if they are not going to ask questions, then how can they say that they know what they are talking about?
I asked her specifically about the issue of voter fraud and enfranchisement. I asked, "Is what we're suggesting in Bill C-18 workable?" She told me that from her experience with working on enfranchising voters, that it was a ridiculous provision. That was her word. She said, "I've only been able to use this vouching system on one occasion and it's a ridiculous provision. It provides nothing to people who vote".
I asked her again about the issue of voter fraud from her experience as a lawyer working on the street. She said, "In all my time volunteering at polling stations I've never experienced any voter fraud. What I do experience is that people are turned away voting for the first time in their lives, people who really want to vote and they are often being turned away". That is what she gave us as testimony.
If people disagreed with it, they should have asked her questions. They should have had it on the record. To allow her 11 sentences, as a statement, shows that we simply are failing in this role in Parliament. As I said, I think it is a very dismal trade when such events are allowed to take place.

Larry Bagnell Yukon, YT
Mr. Speaker, I am happy to rise to speak to this bill. I am actually delighted that we are getting it before the break because it is a bit disappointing in a way that, as the chair of rural caucus, it is an amendment that is specifically for rural Canadians and is coming so late in the game.
That being said, I am delighted that the entire House is cooperating to ensure that this important amendment gets through, so that rural Canadians are not disenfranchised through some administrative mistake. If not, then somehow we would all have been involved in making something that would have disenfranchised a majority of the voters in the next byelection in the prairies. A majority of voters north of 60 could easily not have been able to vote if we did not make this important amendment.
There are a number of other election provisions that I will speak to today, a few that should and could be made, but of course that is not the topic. The topic today is to primarily deal with these rural Canadians who otherwise could not have a vote.
Therefore, we have to make these administrative amendments. These provisions are to ensure that these Canadians will again be able to vote in a coming election, which could be soon, and certainly in the event of byelections.
I want to reassure rural Canadians that if for some reason this did not pass, they would still be able to vote because the Chief Electoral Officer has the authority to deal with such a crisis as this and to enfranchise people through whatever mechanisms are necessary. However, that is not really the way to run a navy, it is not the best way to solve this. We in Parliament who create these laws should, when we make an error, make these amendments even if it is an administrative error and fix the law so that all Canadians have the appropriate ability to vote.
That is why during the process of this bill I, too, as some others have mentioned, have urged the committee, Elections Canada and the department drafting the bill, to ensure that homeless people could vote. There are a number of homeless people across the country and we have to ensure that there are enough people who can vouch for them, and people working in the shelters who might know of their locations. There should not be a limit on the number who can sign for these people.
That is why the best solution is to get these people out of poverty. That is why I am very excited that a few weeks ago our leader made a great announcement for a first-ever comprehensive anti-poverty strategy in Canada that would take 30% of these people off the poverty list in the next five years. It would certainly reduce the problem.
We also have other efforts related to homelessness. We have one of the most successful social programs in history, I think, the SCPI program, which everyone I think in the House has eventually championed after seeing its results. It puts these homeless people in specific good shelters for a time until we solve the ultimate problem. Of course, we should be dealing with the root problems and hopefully getting them back into proper affordable housing, and regular housing, as they again get jobs et cetera.
However, until that time if they are in good shelters, we will have them with workers who can then enfranchise them and get them to vote. In particular in my area, I urge the government on this, we need a shelter for teenagers. We have one under that SCIPI program that we put in place for adults. There were none at all before that, particularly for men. We would want one for teenagers, so that we could segregate them. It would be much safer for them.
In the north homelessness is also a particular issue in that we do not want people lying in the streets at 60 below. They have to go somewhere and unfortunately, they are going into places where they should not be, where they have to offer sexual favours for shelter or they are crowded in, impugning on children where they should not necessarily be crowded in. All these things could be solved and hopefully some of it will be solved with this anti-poverty strategy that we have announced.
Today we are talking about the disenfranchisement of rural voters. I cannot imagine anyone in the House being against a provision that would ensure all rural Canadians are not stuck with this mistake. It should be fixed, so they can vote under the normal process as they did before.
I am talking particularly about individuals with no street address. Those of us who live in rural areas know many people who do not have a street address. We also know that there are entire communities without street addresses. When I lived in the north I did not have a specific street address. It was R.R. #1, Site 2, Comp 3. Some people live near the highway.
Provinces, territories and municipalities are trying to legislate an end to this problem because street addresses are needed for the fire department and for 911, so people can be found in an emergency. Thousands of people still do not fall into that category. That correction has not been made, and unless we amend the provisions in this bill today, they will not be able to vote.
Santa Claus and I visited a small community in my area on the weekend. This community is spread out along the highway and in rural bush areas where there are no addresses. Many people just have general delivery. A truck goes to the community every couple of days and drops all the mail at the post office. This legislation would not solve this problem.
In my community there are many people who live out in the bush. I remember going down roads in the middle of virtually nowhere and coming upon cabins. These people do not have a particular street address. Some of them have to fly in like they do in Nunavut. All sorts of people only have access to their communities by air and not by road. This may be a surprise to a number of southern Canadians, but there are many areas where there is no road access. In these cases it would be very difficult to have a defined street address as we in southern Canada understand it.
There are other people who could also be affected, such as first nations. I have urged in previous speeches that we make sure these people are not disenfranchised either through this bill or through further amendments to the Canada Elections Act.
Many first nations are in fly-in communities or they live on reserve. They may not have the same type of street numbering system that we are traditionally accustomed to. It is important that these people are not disenfranchised.
Fourteen first nations live in Yukon and a number of these are traditionally nomadic. They do not stay in one area for an entire year. They move around because of the various types of game harvesting or plant harvesting they need to do during various times of the year.
It is important that we take into account the nature of all Canadian lifestyles when we are developing an electoral system. This is not impossible to do.
A Mongolian delegation recently visited here. The Mongolian people, unlike Canadians, have many herds, many cattle, sheep, horses and goats, but they do not have fences or private property the way we do here in Canada. When they need to rest an area for the environment, they simply move their herds over to another steppe, or another mountain, or another valley.
Obviously, they do not have specific street addresses while they are moving around. I questioned them when they were here a couple of weeks ago and they said they had no problem in coming up with solutions to enumerating all their people and making sure that they have a very high percentage of voting, I believe higher than we do. That is great for a country in that part of Asia where democracies are not prevalent, particularly with the sad situation today in Burma.
The provisions were put in with the best intent. There are people who have come to members of Parliament with numerous examples suggesting the occurrence of fraud when identification is not available. Not very many cases could be prosecuted or taken to the final stages. Various people have alluded to many problems that would not be in the existing system if we changed the provisions so that they were similar to the provisions in a number of other countries.
I do not think anyone in the House would be against improving the integrity of the voting system in Canada. Certainly the hallmark of our democracy is one person, one vote. That people would try to circumvent that really strikes at the heart of our democracy, but in that sense, as I urged earlier in my speech, we have to make sure that in doing this, we do not disenfranchise people. That principle must apply to everyone.
I have mentioned several groups, such as the homeless, first nations people, and people in the rural areas who do not have a street address, but there are other groups in my constituency that I have mentioned in previous speeches on this bill, for example, students.
North of 60, there are no universities, so all our students make a grand migration to universities or colleges in the south. We do have excellent colleges in the north, such as Yukon College, which has some university credit courses, but many of the students in the three territories go to the south. I can say that as the northern critic. The students would be away at election time and would not be residing at their permanent street address. If for some reason they were not properly enumerated, they could fall into the trap of being disenfranchised.
This reminds me that I wanted to speak about the enumeration lists, as I am speaking about things that need to be corrected. I am speaking now to Elections Canada. I do not imagine there is a member of Parliament here who would not suggest that there have been some disastrous situations with the present idea of the permanent enumeration list.
Personally I am quite supportive of a permanent enumeration list, if it is kept up to date. I am sure all members of Parliament have gone to houses in recent elections where 20 or 30 people lived in the house according to the enumeration list. After people moved from the house, they were still listed as living in the house. The list had not been updated.
In my riding, there is a relatively high degree of mobility. There are all sorts of people who change their address, such as students and young people who move in and out with other people. Somehow they just do not show up on the enumeration lists and are therefore lost, or there are too many eligible voters. I am sure that accounts for part of the low degree of voting in Canada. If there are 20 people listed at one address where only three people live, that is going to show up as 17 people who did not vote. It will make it look like Canadians do not vote. Of course, they are not people who really live at the address; they are phantom residents. They have moved somewhere else and are double listed.
I encourage Elections Canada to modernize the enumeration lists to solve that problem. It is a good system to have a permanent list, but Elections Canada has to get a handle on who lives where so that when enumerators go door to door, the list is relatively accurate and the number of people who are enfranchised is more realistic, so we do not have to make amendments and we can spend our time debating ideas and policies.
There are other groups that we want to ensure are not disenfranchised. One of them is not specific to the north and that is the military. It has to do with the street address requirement for people who move around. The military has a unique way of voting. As I said in previous speeches, I want to make sure that members of the military are in no way disenfranchised by the amendments to improve the integrity of the voting system.
There are two other groups in my area. One is what we call snowbirds. A number of northerners, mostly retired people, go south for the winter, where there are lower heating costs and they can enjoy their retirement in a warmer climate. If they do not have an official street address and cannot vote, they would be unduly disenfranchised. I would urge the people in committee, in the department and in Elections Canada who are studying and improving the elections process to make sure they do not disenfranchise those people.
Another group is people who have to move quickly because of a medical emergency. I visited a hospital in the last election and there were people who had been brought to the hospital from out of town. Therefore, they were not in their poll and they could not vote. I want to make sure that in those cases, people can vote.
In conclusion, since we are breaking for the holidays, I would like to say meilleurs voeux, seasons greetings, auguri di buone feste, felices fiestas, peace, pax, paz, mir, mira poki, frieden.
Please support this bill so that rural Canadians are not disenfranchised. Let us get this bill through as quickly as possible.

Mary Olson

2 p.m.
Rob Merrifield Yellowhead, AB
Mr. Speaker, this past week the town of Edson mourned the loss of long time community activist Mary Olson. She passed away at the young age of 53 during her second term as city councillor.
She was a devoted community organizer who was committed to giving back to the people of Edson. She was a founder of the Edson Women's Association and the Edson Youth Justice Committee and was instrumental in establishing the Edson and District Victim Services group.
If she had a passion, she brought it forward and she stood by it. She learned that determination after spending some time living on the streets with her single mother, Dorothy, as Dorothy struggled to finish university.
Through Mary's dedication to the community, her love for the people and her willingness to serve, she was an example to all of us.
Today, I honour Mary and her life of selfless giving to her family and her community.
Heritage Railway Stations
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Andy Scott Fredericton, NB
Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Pacific Railway station in Fredericton has fallen into a state of total disrepair.
I am calling on the federal government to amend the Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act, which would close a major loophole.
The York Street site was designated in 1991 as a historic railway station under the Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act. Unfortunately, the site has been neglected for years and its future is in question.
Under the act, a property owner cannot sell, demolish or renovate a site without the approval of the federal government, but it does not speak to inaction, neglect or abandonment.
Built in 1923, the CPR station in Fredericton was designated because of its historical and architectural qualities.
The federal government, through Parks Canada, must correct this flawed legislation and ensure that heritage sites are properly maintained and celebrated.
Book on Quebeckers of Haitian Origin
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Vivian Barbot Papineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, I had the honour to attend the official launch of a book edited by Dr. Samuel Pierre for the Association des ingénieurs et scientifiques haïtiano-canadiens (AIHC), entitled Ces Québécois venus d'Haïti, Contribution de la communauté haïtienne à l'édification du Québec moderne.
This book takes the reader through the past 40 years of Quebec's history, telling the stories of 52 Quebeckers of Haitian origin. It is a touching tribute to these men and women who have formed close ties to our society. It is also a source of inspiration for younger generations and offers them models of determination, perseverance and excellence that encourage a positive outlook on the future.
My Bloc Québécois colleagues and I are happy to highlight the contribution of the AIHC and of all those whose time and energy went into the production of this unique book, which tells how members of the Haitian community have integrated into and contributed to Quebec society.
The Environment

Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
Mr. Speaker, immoral, dishonest, misleading; surprisingly, those are not the words of committee members delving into the Mulroney-Schreiber affair. They are the words of the international community as it condemns Canada's refusal to commit to deep emissions reductions to fight global warming.
This week marked the 10th anniversary of the Kyoto protocol. World leaders are gathered in Bali trying to negotiate a global agreement on the second post-Kyoto phase. Why? Because, as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has pointed out, climate change is the biggest challenge to humanity in the 21st century.
However, under the stewardship of successive Liberal and Conservative governments, Canada's greenhouse gases are now almost 33% above Canada's Kyoto target. We should be with the leaders of the world, not the laggards.
It is an abdication of leadership to suggest that the world can only sign a climate deal if the U.S. does. Canadians expect the Prime Minister to act in our interest, not in the interest of George Bush.
While climate change has been rapid, it is devastating that Canada's response is not.
Female Elected Officials

Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, congratulations are in order for Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards Township Mayor Janice Visneskie on her recent acclamation to a second term as warden of Renfrew County.
Long before it became politically correct to demand gender equality among politicians, the smart voters of Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke recognized the benefit of balanced representation to lead their local government.
As the first female elected to upper level government, I am joined by Warden Janice Visneskie, Mayor Ann Aikens of the Town of Deep River, Mayor Sandi Heins of the Town of Renfrew, Mayor Mary Campbell of McNab/Braeside Township, Mayor Raye-Ann Briscoe of Admaston/Bromley Township, Head, Clara and Maria Township Reeve Tammy Sonnenburg, and Town of Renfrew Reeve Audrey Green.
There is no higher calling than an elected office. I congratulate citizens of both genders who answer that call.
I look forward to working with Warden Visneskie and all members of councils in Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke as we work together to improve the lives of our fellow citizens.
Joseph Zatzman
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Michael Savage Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Mr. Speaker, the remarkable life of Joseph Zatzman ended this week. He was 95.
Born in St. John, he chose the community of Dartmouth as his adopted home. He opened a grocery store on Portland Street, moved into real estate, and became one of Nova Scotia's most significant landlords, most admired business people and prominent public citizens.
He was elected to town council and in 1963 was elected mayor of Dartmouth. He is our only Jewish mayor and is widely regarded as one of the best mayors in Dartmouth's proud history.
His most significant achievement, and also the most significant in Dartmouth's development, was his leadership in the birth and growth of Burnside Industrial Park. It was his project, his success and his legacy.
His post-mayoralty life continued to be one of achievement and recognition.
Although he lost some zeal for life after the death of his beloved Leah, he continued to be one of our most respected and beloved citizens until his death this week.
Our whole community feels his loss. To his family, including my friend, his son Michael, we offer our condolences on the loss of a man whose beliefs were simple--faith, family, and community--but whose achievements were remarkable.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, yesterday in Beirut an explosion killed Lebanese Brigadier General Francois al-Hajj and a number of other people. Canada strongly condemns this new terrorist attack, which comes at a time when Lebanon is putting forth considerable effort to find a political solution to the current crisis.
Canada sends its condolences to the families of the victims and to the people of Lebanon.
We also reiterate our firmest support for Prime Minister Fuad Siniora and his government.
This attack against the stability and democracy of Lebanon must not weaken the resolve of the Lebanese people to resist those who seek to destabilize their country.
Those who committed this act of violence and those who support them must be brought to justice.
Minister of Public Works and Government Services

Thierry St-Cyr Jeanne-Le Ber, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Public Works finally announced on December 10, 2007, the federal government's contribution for the relocation of the Montreal planetarium to the Rio site.
During the press conference, the unelected minister put on a shameful display of partisanship unworthy of his position. Indeed, although the host of the event had planned to invite the federal representatives from east Montreal, the unelected minister apparently objected, despite the fact that these federal representatives joined forces to complete the project.
Furthermore, this unelected minister, showing absolute pettiness and a complete lack of ethics, took it upon himself to invite and introduce Conservative candidates from Montreal Island, emphasizing that they would likely be his future colleagues in the House of Commons.
Coming from someone who was not elected, this contempt for the democratic process is not only unacceptable, but I think it is safe to bet that Montrealers will not soon forget it.

December 13th, 2007 / 2:05 p.m.
Ed Komarnicki Souris—Moose Mountain, SK
Mr. Speaker, what a refreshing change it is from a previous government that was full of talk and no action to a government that gets things done. We are a government that speaks and takes action, and that promises, then delivers.
Let us have a look at what the government has accomplished and what it has delivered. We have reduced the GST from 7% to 6% to 5%.
We have reduced the lowest personal income tax rate to 15%. We have increased the amount Canadians can earn before paying income tax to $9,600.
We have delivered $100 per month to parents for each and every child under six years of age.
We have reduced the national debt by $37 billion, with interest savings used to further reduce taxes.
When it comes to protecting our streets, the government has delivered by introducing sweeping reforms on the justice front.
After having listed a number of initiatives that will put more dollars than ever before in the pockets of all Canadians, I would like to wish all members of the House, and indeed all Canadians, a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.
Dunlap Observatory
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Bryon Wilfert Richmond Hill, ON
Mr. Speaker, the David Dunlap Observatory opened in 1935 on land donated in trust to the University of Toronto by the widow of astronomy supporter David Dunlap. Under the terms of the trust, the Dunlap heirs would regain ownership of the university facility if it closed.
The University of Toronto recently announced that it will declare the observatory surplus and put it up for sale.
I believe that this is such an important historic site because it is the largest observatory east of the Rocky Mountains and it is where the first black hole was discovered in 1972 by astronomer Thomas Bolton.
It is unfortunate that at this time it will be the highest bidder who will control that particular property.
I have spoken with and urged the Government of Canada to consider creating a large national urban park that would be the first of its kind in the greater Toronto area. I believe that all orders of government should participate in support of this. I believe the residents of Richmond Hill want to maintain this great jewel, not only for the people of Richmond Hill, but for Canada.
Bloc Québécois
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois is like Santa Claus. The story is that he is the one who makes and delivers the gifts, but we know that is not what really happens.
People can write letters to Santa Claus, but at the end of the day, it is our government that has the means to take action, to keep its word and to deliver the goods.
The Bloc Québécois has introduced 242 private members' bills, but has managed to get just two private members' bills passed and that was just to change the names of two ridings. If the Bloc was truly Santa Claus, then Quebec families would be disappointed with their gifts this year.
For every issue, the Bloc has a solution. The only problem—and it is a huge problem—is that they are stuck in the opposition benches and cannot implement their solutions.
Those who do not have the responsibility that comes with being in power can say or ask for anything they want. Our government is proud to act in the interest of Quebec and Canadians where the Bloc simply cannot.

Catherine Bell Vancouver Island North, BC
Mr. Speaker: the softwood lumber sellout, which increased raw log exports, the rapid expansion of the tar sands so we can pipe bitumen to the U.S., the deregulation of air traffic safety, and the introduction of security certificates. I could on about all the shameful ways in which the Conservative government is harmonizing Canada's trade, safety and environmental policies with George Bush's United States.
Canadians know that the introduction of these measures will have long-lasting negative impacts on our jobs, our communities and our sovereignty. Under the Security and Prosperity Partnership, Canada will have less and less ability to adopt independent and sustainable economic, social, cultural and environmental policies.
In the long run, this could have a lethal effect on Canadian public programs such as universal health care and public education.
As members of Parliament, we are each privileged to represent a portion of this country, but we also have a duty to protect it. I see it as my duty to do all I can to stop the SPP from going any further.

Immigration Information for New International Students
A Message on Studying in the U.S.
David Donahue, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Visa Services, U.S. Department of State
F-1 Students
Most students at The University of Akron enter the United States on an F-1 student visa in order to enroll in a full-time degree program.
To be eligible for and F-1 student visa, students must receive a Form I-20 "Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Status" issued by The University of Akron (UA). To be eligible to receive an I-20 from UA, a student must:
Once these documents are received, the Office of International Programs will issue the I-20 and will notify the student once the I-20 has been prepared.
F-2 Dependents
F-1 students may bring their dependent(s) (spouse and/or children) to the U.S. in F-2 visa status. A spouse in F-2 status may not accept employment in the U.S. or be full-time students. Part-time vocational or recreational study is permitted. F-2 children are permitted to study in elementary and secondary schools.
J-1 Students
Some students enter the U.S. on a J-1 "Exchange Visitor" visa. This visa is for people who are participating in an Exchange Visitor Program administered by the U.S. Department of State for the purpose of educational and cultural exchange.
Participants in this program (such as Reciprocity students) must have a Form DS-2019 "Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor Status" issued by the program sponsor in order to apply for a J-1 visa.
To be eligible to receive a DS-2019 from UA, an exchange visitor must:
Once these documents are received, the Office of International Programs will issue the DS-2019 and will notify the student once the DS-2019 has been prepared.
J-2 Dependents
J-1 students may bring their dependent(s) (spouse and/or children) to the U.S. in J-2 visa status. These individuals may study and are eligible to work upon obtaining employment authorization from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS).
Students who are currently in the U.S. in valid F-1 status and are either studying in their academic program, on Optional Practical Training (OPT), or in the 60-day grace period will need to transfer will need to transfer their SEVIS record to UA before they are eligible to begin their academic program at UA. Instructions on how to transfer to UA, as well as the necessary forms, can be found in the Transfer Packet.
After submitting all of the necessary forms and documents for your transfer, the OIP will issue a "Transfer Pending I-20" and send it to you. Upon your arrival to Akron, you must check-in with the OIP and present your immigration documents and "Transfer Pending" I-20. Once you have checked-in and have registered full-time for classes, you will receive a new "Transfer Complete" I-20 verifying your valid F-1 status as a student at The University of Akron.
Please remember that your transfer should be completed no later than the deadline. Failure to do so results in the violation of your non-immigrant status.
If you plan to leave the U.S. before attending The University of Akron, be sure to get a "Transfer Pending" I-20 before your re-entry so that you may use this form to reenter the country or to apply for a new visa at the U.S. Consulate or Embassy, if necessary.
Note: If you are out of status, you need to discuss reinstatement to valid status with an international student adviser at the OIP.
If you have J-2, H-1b, or H-4 visa status, UA does not require you to change your status to F-1 or J-1 student status to be enrolled. The only requirement is that you much check-in with the Office of International Programs prior to enrolling in classes. When you check-in, you should bring your immigration documents so that a copy can be made for your file.
If you are in F-2 status and are admitted to a degree program, you will need to change your visa status to F-1 before enrolling at UA.
If you wish to change from your present status to F-1 or J-1 visa status, please download the information sheet regarding a change of status and contact an international student adviser in the OIP as soon as possible.
There are two things you should do to increase your chances of a favorable decision on your visa application:
Most of the procedures and requirements for applying for the F-1/J-1 visas are standardized for all U.S. Embassies/Consulates abroad. However, some procedures may be specific for a particular country. Be sure to read the U.S. Embassy's website carefully, as it will list all of the detailed instructions for visa applications. Below are some links where you can find useful information regarding the visa application process.
When you receive your I-20 (if you are applying for an F-1 visa) or DS-2019 (if you are applying for a J-1 visa), from The University of Akron, check the following:
Read all of the instructions on page two of the form and sign page one. Signing the form means that you understand, and will abide by, the regulations of the visa status once you are in the United States
Pay the SEVIS I-901 Fee (I-901) and print/or receive the hard copy of the receipt. Keep this receipt with your I-20 or DS-2019 and take it with you to your visa interview. Information regarding the SEVIS I-901 Fee can be found here.
Follow the instructions of the U.S. Embassy where you will apply for your visa and schedule your visa interview. At some point in this process you will need to pay the visa application fee.
Complete the required visa application forms and gather all of the documentation required by the U.S. Embassy, including the visa-qualifying document (I-20 or DS-2019), admission letter, financial support documents, and the SEVIS I-901 Fee receipt. Read the U.S. Embassy's website carefully so that your application is complete in order to avoid delays or denials.
Prepare for your visa interview. Due to the volume of applications received, all consular officers are under considerable pressure to conduct quick and efficient interviews. Keep your answers to the officer's questions short and to the point.
Written documents you are presenting must be concise, easily read and evaluated. Remember that the interview takes only a few minutes. The officer must make a decision, for the most part, on the impressions he/she forms during the first minute of the interview.
The Consular Officer must be satisfied on three counts:
If your application is refused, the Consular Officer is required to give you an explanation in writing. You have the right to apply a second time, but if you reapply, make sure to prepare much more carefully. The Consular Officer will want to see fresh evidence sufficient to overcome the reasons for the first denial.
If you have been issued a visa to enter the United States, you will not be allowed to enter the country more than 30 days before the start of your program.
U.S. immigration law governs the entry of all visitors to the United States, including students and exchange visitors. It details what they are authorized to do during their stay in the country.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is the agency responsible for ensuring that these visitors comply with U.S. law and regulations. When you arrive in the United States, you come under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security, and one of the three units within DHS responsible for non-U.S. citizens: the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Bureau.
On your plane to the United States or when you arrive in the country, you will receive a Form I-94 (Arrival-Departure Record). Please safeguard this form; it contains the official record of your admission, your nonimmigrant status and the period of authorized stay in the United States. For more information about arriving in the U.S., see "Arriving at a U.S. Port of Entry --- What a Student can Expect," (for F-1/J-1).
After you arrive in Akron, you are required to attend the Office of International Programs' Orientation Session, where immigration rules will be discussed and handouts on maintaining valid status will be provided.
You may also schedule a meeting with one of the international student advisers in the OIP to discuss any questions or concerns you have about immigration regulations and requirements.
Once you arrive on campus, you should report immediately to the Office of International Programs (OIP), Polsky Building, Room 483. When you check-in, you should bring the following documents with you:
The OIP must report your arrival to the US Department of Homeland Security through SEVIS. If this report is not submitted, you may be considered to be in violation of your status in the United States, so be sure to make the OIP one of your first stops on campus.
We hope that this information has been helpful to you, and we wish you good luck as you prepare to study in the United States.

Democratic recall candidates for union support
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- The recall primaries for the Wisconsin governor are a week and a half away and Democrats are fighting hard to gain support from the state's labor groups.
Labor groups have been the driving force behind the recall election from the beginning. It started when the Republicans passed legislation taking away collective bargaining rights from most state union workers.
But even though unions have a lot of influence and money in the election, Republicans say there are other factors to decide who will win.
"This recall is critical of that," said Marty Beil, director of the Wisconsin State Employee's Union. "This is our opportunity to restore the Wisconsin ideal."
Beil was outraged when Governor Scott Walker signed the collective bargaining reforms into law.
"The middle class has been stripped of its dignity," said Beil. "It has been stripped of the middle class and so what's critical here is that the middle class, the working men and women in Wisconsin, need to take the government back."
But now that there's a chance to change the direction Wisconsin is headed in, Biel said union members must lend support to the right Democratic challenger.12190182
His union is supporting Kathleen Falk.
"We believe she is a true champion for men and women," said Beil. "We've had a long history and experience with Kathleen Falk, she has treated workers fairly."
So far, the Former Dane County Executive has also gained support from WEAC, the state's largest teacher's union and the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO, one of the state's largest labor groups.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, another Democratic front-runner, picked up support from the state's largest police union earlier this month.
But representatives from the Wisconsin State Employee's union and the Western Wisconsin AFL-CIO said whichever democratic candidate comes out on top in the primary will receive support from both unions.
"It's really important to emphasize that no matter who comes out of the primary, we believe either candidate, either principle candidate will turn Wisconsin in the right direction and not down the dead end road we're headed in now," said Bill Brockmiller, president of the Western Wisconsin AFL-CIO.
"Our only focus is on getting the governor reelected," said Julian Bradley, La Crosse County Republican chair. "Whether it's Falk, Barrett, Doug La Follette, anybody else that steps up, our only focus is on the reelection of Gov. Scott Walker."
Bradley said while unions are playing a major role in the recall, their members won't be the only ones heading to the polls in June.
"We have a state full of people and it will be up to everybody in Wisconsin, not just the unions, public sector unions or private unions, it will be up to everybody to decide who the governor should be," said Bradley.
Voting for the recall primary already started earlier this week with absentee voting.
The deadline for in-person absentee voting is May 4 at 5 P.M.
Mail-in absentee ballots must be postmarked by Election Day on May 8 and received by May 11.
Falk and Barrett will also face off against State Senator Kathleen Vinehout, Secretary of State Doug La Follette and protest candidate Gladys Huber in the Democratic primary.
On the other side, Governor Walker will take on Arthur Kohl Riggs.
The winners move on to the general election on June 5.

It's strange, but true—the same people who brought you this musical tribute to Ben Bernanke brought you the 2014 US Monetary Policy Forum and set Econ Twitter chirping with talk of forward guidance on February 28. Really, the conversation might be described as, "forward guidance on forward guidance." Academics, market economists, and policy makers gathered at the invitation-only Initiative on Global Markets–sponsored event to discuss "Market Tantrums and Monetary Policy," the paper written for the forum by Michael Feroli, Anil Kashyap, Kim Schoenholtz, and Hyun Song Shin.
Here's a partial roundup of coverage. Check back for updates, and join the conversation on Twitter with #USMPF.

A North Carolina girl who accidentally took her father's lunchbox to school has been suspended for the rest of her senior year: Dad had packed a small paring knife to eat an apple.
Ashley Smithwick, 17, of Sanford, a top student and soccer star, hadn't been in trouble before. She now faces misdemeanor charges for bringing a weapon on campus. That could end her hopes for a soccer scholarship. "When you have a criminal record no school's going to look at you," she said. Smithwick is taking online courses through Central Carolina Community College to earn her diploma.
Lee County Superintendent Jeff Moss told the Sanford Herald that it's up to the principal to determine a student's "true intent."
"Bottom line is we want to ensure every child feels safe on our campus."
A commenter writes:
"Let's have the students feel safe. How about letting them feel like their entire lives and livelihood aren't at risk at your institution from an honest mistake. You are ruining this child's life and future because some bonehead can't recognize an honest mistake."
Close the school, writes Instapundit. Children aren't safe from stupid school officials.
Update: The superintendent says a three-inch knife was found in Smithwick's purse. On PJ Media, Bryan Preston has a photo of the "purse," which is a BYO brand lunch tote. The school also says Smithwick is enrolled at the school. But she's banned from campus.

My pizza making skills are still a work in progress.
Looking forward to your findings.Next weekend I will try dr pepper in place of some of the liquid. Might up the dr pepper to 75%. Also want to saute onions in whatever soda I plan on using.
Barqs has a distinct flavor profile unlike any other root beer product.

I have noticed for some time that international shipping is brutal ... no surprise there, right? But these last 2 rounds have really blown me away. Generally speaking, international shipping has been around twice what I list as the charges in OTTI and NOTTI topics, and sometimes almost triple. B-R-U-T-A-L!
However, for several rounds I have been subsidizing the international shipping with OTTI funds. Why you may ask? I think on some level I find it hard to justify the actual international shipping charges for a handful of 10 gram samples. And OTTI is all about participations. And certainly the international participants add an interesting dimension to OTTI.
Unfortunately, the charges are unavoidable ... and they are what they are. TBH, I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do about it.
Hmmm ... thoughts?

Valuable time and resources are often wasted replacing hardware that actually functions properly. This document helps troubleshoot common hardware issues with the Cisco 7500 Series router chassis. This document also provides pointers for identifying whether or not the fault is in the hardware. This document does not cover any software-related failures except for those that are often mistaken for hardware issues.
For more information on document conventions, see the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.
Readers of this document should take the following steps:
Check for known hardware issues for Cisco 7500 routers in High-End Routers Field Notices.
If you believe you have a hardware problem with the Route Switch Processor (RSP), refer to Hardware Troubleshooting the Cisco Route-Switch Processor.
If you believe you have a hardware problem with a Versatile Interface Processor (VIP), refer to Hardware Troubleshooting the Cisco Versatile Interface Processor.
The information in this document is based on the software and hardware versions below.
Cisco IOS® Software (all versions)
Cisco 7500 Series routers, including the 7505, 7507, 7513, and 7576 routers.
The information presented in this document was created from devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If you are working in a live network, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command before using it.
The components that make up the Cisco 7500 Series chassis include:
The chassis.
Power supplies.
The card cage.
The arbiter.
The chassis interface.
The fan assembly.
The chassis itself has no electronic components, so it is very rarely the cause of hardware-related problems unless some of the backplane connectors are bent or broken. The power supplies, card cage, arbiter, chassis interface, and fan assembly all have electronic components, and therefore can be affected by hardware problems. In general, hardware problems with these components result in either error messages or total failure of the router.
Note: The Cisco 7505 has a single arbiter, while the Cisco 7507, 7513, and 7576 have a dual arbiter for the dual CyBuses.
Note: The dual arbiter and chassis interface are printed circuit boards that attach to the rear of the backplane. The dual arbiter and chassis interface are replaced when the card cage and backplane assembly are replaced.
Routers can restart and reload, fail to function, or produce error messages for many reasons. Several of these are potential hardware issues.
Most of the common chassis related problems are reported by the following error message syntax:
%CI-n-YYYY : [text]
CI refers to the Chasis Interface (CI) card. The n refers to the severity of the error, and YYYY represents the code that describes this message. The text contains a detailed description of the event. The CI card stores a set of registers and EEPROM memory that holds vital chassis-related environmental information. Some of the common log messages indicating a potential issue are as discussed in the following sections below.
%CI-3-BLOWER: main fan failure %CI-3-BLOWER: #1 fan failure
The above message is printed when one of the cooling fans has failed. This could be caused by the following possibilities:
A dirty fan or filter—You can determine this by physically looking at the fan. If it is dirty, pull out the fans and clean them using an air compressor or vacuum cleaner. You can pull out the fans without powering down the router.
Caution: Do not try to stop the fan from spinning by using your hand or an object; this could be dangerous for you and could damage the fan.
Note: If it has been found that the fault lies with a fan assembly and the router is essential for network production, the router can run without one fan assembly for a few hours.
A bad or mis-seated fan assembly—If the filter is clean, there is a good possibility that the fan has gone bad. Check whether the fan is turning; if not, try reseating the fan. This can be done without powering down the router.
A failed CI card—If the above have been checked and the error message continues, the CI card could have failed. Open a case with the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to have the card replaced.
%CI-4-COND: Restarting with <n> recent soft power shutdowns
The n represents the number of times the router powers the line cards down because of a detected over-temperature condition. When the temperature rises above the board shutdown trip point, the cards are shut down, but the power supplies, fans, and CI continue to run. For more information, refer to CI Error Messages.
If the above message is not accompanied by a %CI-3-BLOWER message, please collect the information yielded by issuing the following commands on the router, and then create a service request with the TAC:
show environment all
show environment last
show environment table
There are several possible conditions that can trigger this error message, and the above information will help to pinpoint the cause.
%CI-4-ENVWARN: -12 Voltage measured at -13.48 %CI-4-ENVWARN: +24 Voltage measured at 26.70 %CI-2-ENVCRIT: +12 Voltage measured at 13.62 %CI-2-ENVCRIT: +5 Voltage measured at 5.78
The above messages indicate the voltage measured by the CI card. The following are the most likely triggers for these messages:
A faulty power supply—If you have a spare power supply available, install it in either of the power supply bays and verify that the error messages disappear. If, after replacing the power supply, the errors still occur, the CI card is the next thing to check (see below).
A faulty CI card—If the router has two power supplies, and the combined bus voltages are low, the cause cannot be a power supply problem. In the Cisco 7500 architecture, one power supply cannot drag down the output voltage of another; isolation diodes prevent this from happening. A faulty CI card is the most likely cause. Open a case with the TAC for further troubleshooting.
%CI-3-PSFAIL: Power supply 2 failure %CI-3-BLOWER: ps2 fan failure
The above messages appear when there is a power supply failure. In this example, the failure happens on power supply slot 2. Due to the power supply failure, the fan on slot 2 also fails.
When you see the above error messages, take the following steps:
Ensure that the power supply that logs the above message is fully seated into the router. If not, insert it firmly. The router need not be powered down for this activity.
If the power supply is fully seated but the messages still appear, it is possible that the power supply has failed. In this event, create a service request with the TAC.
If the replacement of the power supply still does not address the issue, the CI card needs to be replaced. The power supply connector pins are connected to the CI card connector pins, and the pins on the CI card might be bent. To address this problem, create a service request with the TAC.
Prior to this point, this document has dealt with hardware problems in the Cisco 7500 series. However, there are a few issues that can be misinterpreted as hardware problems, even though they are not. A common example is when the router simply stops responding, or "hangs." Another example is a failure following a new hardware installation. It is very uncommon for either of these symptoms to be caused by a chassis component. Please refer to the Misleading Symptoms section of Hardware Troubleshooting for the Cisco Route Switch Processor (RSP) for further information.
The first step in troubleshooting a hardware problem is to capture as much information about it as possible. The following information is essential to determining the cause of an error:
Console logs and syslog information—These can be crucial in determining the originating issue if multiple errors are cropping up together. If the router is set up to send logs to a syslog server or a PC connected to the console port, you might capture the logs generated when the failure occurred. For console logs, it is best for the PC, laptop, or terminal server to be directly connected to the console port of the router using system message logging.
show environment commands—The following commands provide information about the power supplies and about the temperatures of various components of the router (which directly reflect the status of the fan assembly):
show environment all
show environment table
show environment last
show technical support—The show technical-support command is a compilation of many different commands including show version, show running-config, and show stacks. It is important to collect the show technical-support information before doing a reload or power-cycle, as these actions can cause all information about the problem to be lost.
Crashinfo files—When an RSP crashes, it attempts to save a crashinfo file into its bootflash memory. Refer to Retrieving Information from the Crashinfo File for details about crashinfo files. As a rule, if a crashinfo file was created, then it exists in the bootflash of the RSP that has crashed.
Note: If the router has dual RSPs and the standby RSP has crashed, the crashinfo file may be on the bootflash of the standby RSP.

In April, Hawai'i Preparatory Academy opened its new Energy Lab, a unique facility designed to educate and inspire students about the concepts of sustainable living. The opening was a fitting setting for the kickoff of another initiative: Footprint Futures, a program by Global Footprint Network and HPA in which high school students learn the principles of Ecological Footprint accounting.
The goal of the Footprint Futures curriculum is to provide students with the analytical tools to explore and answer the question: What is the optimal level of resource use for a given country? Ultimately, the Footprint Futures curriculum is designed to cultivate in the next generation of leaders the ability to engage critically with the most pressing issue of the 21st century – how to achieve lasting human well-being amidst tightening resource constraints.
Supported by teleconferences with Global Footprint Network, students chose a country to study, solidified their understanding of essential concepts, and analyzed Footprint and biocapacity data. The program was capped with Energy Lab opening day activities which included presentations on Footprint Futures to the entire student body, poster projects on the Ecological Footprint, and a formal evening event for community and business leaders.
Rachel Hodara, Strategic Initiatives Coordinator at Global Footprint Network, led the students in a lively discussion on optimal resource consumption. "The students demonstrated an extremely high level of understanding and engagement with the material," Hodara said.. "They ended the project not only knowing the basic concepts of resource constraints, but raising the kinds of questions and suggestions that showed in-depth interest and involvement."
Global Footprint Network and the Hawai'i Preparatory Academy are now applying the lessons learned from the pilot program to a greater number of students and schools. During the Third Annual Student Congress on Sustainability at HPA this June, Dr. Bill Wiecking, director of HPA's Energy Lab, will offer an intensive Footprint Futures curriculum over three days to 80 students from 20 schools from the state of Hawai'i. A group of students from St. Joseph's College, one of the most distinguished high schools in Australia, will participate via video teleconference.
The next phase of the program will be to develop an online version of the curriculum, incorporating Web 2.0 features that will enable schools all over the world to participate and interact. The Footprint Futures project is made possible in part by a grant from Avina Stiftung, a European foundation.

text: Does anybody have a read on how the Collective Bargaining agreement is going to effect the Browns? My understanding is the NFLPA and the NFL are not even close to a deal. The Browns have significant cap room, but if the structure of the NFL's salary cap could change significantly, is it wise to spend like drunken sailors this year and lock yourself into long-term contracts? I wonder if agents will be demanding more this year given the uncertainty of those negotiations? The Browns typically pay a premium to attract talent anyway and I wonder if that might be compounded.

A new music startup called "Switchcam" is algorithmically recreating concerts by stitching together fan footage. The video is all synced up to the exact second so that you can switch camera angles and still be in the same moment in the concert.
Check out what we did with Paul: http://switchcam.com/event/paul-mccartney-palais-omnisports-de-paris-bercy-2011/?c=b_macca
PS I most definitely work for Switchcam, and most definitely love Macca, and of course the Beatles. We would like to get some honest feedback from music lovers about what we are trying to create.
Thanks everyone!

A recent move to the American Athletic Conference has once again placed Houston among some of the premier teams in college football.

The Houston Cougars had one of the school's best football seasons with 13 wins and 1 loss in 2016, this included an American Athletic Conference Championship title plus a win in the New Year's Peach bowl against Florida State. Coming into 2016, second-year head coach Tom Herman is aiming for an even better season with the Cougars. Greg Ward Jr. will be returning in 2016 as starting quarterback after his breakout season when he threw for more than 2,000 yards and rushed for 1,000 yards. After losing wide receiver Demarcus Ayers to the NFL Draft, Chance Allen will need to step up to fill the hole left by the wide receiver. The Houston defense has 5 starters returning, but the question will be filling three important positions in the secondary. Important games in the 2016 Houston Cougars' schedule will be the season opener against the Oklahoma Sooners as well as in the second to last game against Louisville. Wins for these games will propel Houston closer to the College Football Playoff in 2016.
The Houston Cougars play their home games at TDECU Stadium in Houston, Texas. Houston Stadium can seat over 40,000 fans, and its construction opens a new era for Cougar football. The University broke ground on the stadium in early 2013, making Houston Football Stadium one of the newest stadiums in all of college football. Look for many new traditions, key victories, and a lot of Cougar pride to accompany the new stadium. The Houston Cougars home bench is on the Houston Football Stadium sideline with sections . Houston Football Stadium parking information is covered in our Cougars event guide.
Rice Owls
Known as the Bayou Bucket Classic, this is the football rivalry in the city of Houston. The schools compete for the right to bring the Bayou Bucket Trophy back to their side of the city. The rivalry dates back to 1971, and continued as both schools were conference rivals in both the SWC and C-USA. With Houston's move to the AAC the rivalry will continue as one of the most anticipated non-conference games in the state of Texas.
TicketCity offers a big selection of Houston Cougars football tickets which include some of the lowest priced seats on the market. Houston tickets fluctuate based on demand and opponent. Marquee AAC opponents like UCF, SMU, and Cincinnati can drive up home game prices. While cheap tickets are more plentiful for unranked, non-conference opponents. Those early season games may offer the best opportunity to purchase Houston tickets near face value.
The Cougars 2017-2018 football schedule is listed as soon as it is announced by the AAC. Houston plays in the AAC, which means games against USF, UCF, Tulsa, East Carolina, Cincinnati, Memphis, Connecticut, SMU, Tulane, and Temple. Game times are announced by the AAC as soon as the TV schedule is set. Houston's home opener is typically one of the most popular games. They also play Rice in the Bayou Bucket Classic. If you are looking for Cougars news or scores, then visit our partners at CBS Sports. They are also a good source for the official Houston Cougars team roster.
Houston Cougars season tickets are available to buy until kickoff of their home opener. Check our listings above or call us if you would like to purchase Houston football season tickets. Let us know if you want a particular section at Houston Football Stadium.
Houston has a few great football rivalries, but it is hard to pick against the Bayou Bucket Classic. The two premier football programs in Houston match off in a winner-take-all, inner-city rivalry. Houston is one of the best football cities in the country and fans come out in force to see their team claim the bragging rights for the coming year.
Before games, fans flock to the Cougar statues in Cullen Family Plaza. It is believed that the more people that rub the paws of the Cougars, the better the team will play. This tradition gains even more meaning before homecoming and other big games. If you are a Cougar fan, this is a tradition that should not be missed, and who knows, it may send some good vibes to your favorite Cougar players.

All hands, abandon ship
During the May 1942 Battle of the Coral Sea the aircraft carrier USS Lexington was hit by Japanese torpedoes. Her crew brought 3 fines under control and enabled the carrier to make 24 knots and resume air operations. Shortly thereafter, a spark ignited fumes from ruptured fuel lines and caused massive fires and secondary explosions. Her captain, Frederick C. Sherman, was forced to abandon ship.
