Ian McClelland Edmonton Southwest, AB
Mr. Speaker, I was listening to the debate. My wife and I will be attending a couple of weddings in the next couple of weeks. We attended weddings over the summer, as I am sure many members present and many Canadians watching did. As we are talking about amendments to the Divorce Act, running through everyone's mind are weddings that they have recently attended or perhaps a wedding of their children or of a niece or a nephew. Many of us at our stage in life are going through this. It seems they come in batches.
I was struck by the fact that maybe we are closing the barn door after the horse has already escaped. Perhaps we should be discussing a new marriage act. Perhaps, as many of us have said to others or to ourselves in admonition, it should be a whole heck of a lot harder to get married. Perhaps we are putting our emphasis in the wrong place.
As we look at our society, as other speakers before me have very rightly pointed out, the foundation of our society is built around family. If we look at families or at particular societies such as religious or ethnic societies which place a very strong value on family, on commitment and on the responsibility to comes from that, we find that the divorce rate is substantially lower than it is among the general population.
I am not standing before the House and Canadians pontificating from a holier than thou perspective. I stand here as a person with considerable experience in these matters, having been twice divorced. My mother was divorced. Carrying on a long line of family history, my grandmother was divorced in 1932 in Alberta. That was not a small feat in those days.
I have said many times than it is better to be from a broken home than in one. However, I do not in any way diminish or denigrate the importance of family and how much better it is for children to be raised within a strong and supportive family. There is nothing more important in a child's life. Having said that, we know statistically a good percentage, perhaps even a majority, of marriages are going to end unhappily in divorce. The product of that unhappy circumstance will be children who will suffer in varying degrees from the effects of the divorce. Some children, depending on the maturity, wisdom and good faith of their parents, will suffer significantly less and, in fact, may benefit.
From time to time as members of Parliament we deal with constituents who come to us because there is nowhere else to go. Many of these people are single parents who are struggling to support a family. Some are non-custodial parents who feel grievously wronged because although they have lived up to every aspect of their agreement, they find themselves not able to be with their children. This legislation does not address that. In my opinion, that is a grievous error.
When we delve into the reasons for which families break up or why we have such acrimony over visitation, very often that is driven by retribution. Very often it is the chicken or the egg. If the non-custodial parent pays support regularly, he or she will get visitation rights regularly. In my experience, the amount of money that is awarded to the custodial parent is perhaps not as important as the consistency of receiving that money. It is important, but it is not nearly as important as the custodial parent being able to depend religiously on receiving that money every month.
That brings me to my perspective on this particular debate. I come to this perspective from the position of having paid maintenance payments virtually all of my adult life. There has not been a month that I have not made maintenance payments for as long as I can remember. Having made those payments, I was able to subtract from my income, which was generally speaking higher than my ex-spouse's income, the amount that I paid in support and my ex-wife paid the tax on it. This created a fairly big problem for her at the end of the year. She did not pay tax on it when she received it and the net result was that at the end of the year she had a tax bill she had to pay.
I discussed the matter with her and asked what she thought was the best way to handle it. Should it be taxable for her, should it be taxable for me or should we split it in the middle? We decided the best way to do it was to arrive at whatever the payment was going to be and I would pay tax on half and she would pay tax on half.
That is not what is going to happen with this bill. The non-custodial parent will be paying the tax and the receiving parent will not be paying the tax. It will not affect maintenance agreements that are already in effect. I am sure that the courts will take into account who will be paying the tax when they make their judgments.
This legislation envisions a grid. The grid is a schedule of the amount of maintenance payments per child that will be paid to the custodial parent, usually the wife, based on the income of the non-custodial parent or generally speaking the husband. That is not necessarily a bad idea. However, it does not allow for judicial discretion. In my experience, very often family break-ups come as a direct result of financial pressures. When the family breaks up there is not a whole lot of money to go around anyway. Very often the father pays support to a family where the custodial parent, the wife, has remarried and has a standard of living far beyond anything that the ex-husband has.
These things are not black and white. We tend to make these laws based on our experience with the extremes. Very often the extremes are horrid. The fact is that if a husband is not going to make support payments, no amount of legislation in the world is going to force him to do it. He has to do it because he accepts the responsibility and it is the right thing to do.
I guess this is where our society has kind of become unglued. When a couple makes the decision to get a divorce, when did it become their right to absolve themselves of the responsibilities that were incurred in the marriage and they brought children into the world? When, because I decided to be divorced, did it become someone else's responsibility to be financially responsible for my children? If I am divorced, for whatever reason, and I cannot afford to look after the financial responsibilities that I incurred of my own free will in my first marriage, it does not give me the right to take on new responsibilities in a subsequent marriage and then claim poverty and say: "I can't afford to look after my first responsibilities because I have taken on a second batch of responsibilities".
When we make decisions we have to be big enough to accept the responsibilities that come with those decisions. We are not saying not to do it but are saying: "Having made the decision, for goodness sake, be big enough to live up to the responsibilities that you have".
I would suggest that because the receiving spouse is depending on the maintenance payments, it is entirely appropriate that the government, representing all of the people, take whatever steps are prudent to enforce maintenance payments. We understand that maintenance payments are legislated federally and are enforced provincially. It has to be done with a foundation of fairness. If someone is going to have his or her wages garnisheed, certainly notice should be given. I do not know about other folks, but as an employer when I saw a garnishee notice coming for anyone who worked for me, it raised an eyebrow.
What happens if the person who is on the receiving end of the garnishee is living up to the obligations but is involved in some sort of a messy dispute?
Not all lawyers get up in the morning and ask, "how can we do the right thing?" It is possible that some of them do not have a clue because they did not do their homework. Some of them might decide they are going to make life miserable for someone and do not use due diligence before they issue a garnishee notice. The notion of being able to garnishee without notice is wrong.
Similarly, I have real difficulty with the ability to go back into tax records subsequent to a divorce. In my view the only reason for this could be in order to try to have the amount of maintenance payment increased.
When people decide to divorce, it seems to me that should be that. Each spouse should know the income of both spouses to determine what fair support should be. After that has been concluded, why should either party have the right to open the closed files five years down the road? It does not make sense to me.
Some of the criticisms of this bill, both constructive and positive and negative criticism, are that it takes the judicial discretion out of the awarding of payments. It does not necessarily consider the ability of the non-custodial parent to make the payments that have been determined, nor does it take into consideration the financial circumstances of the custodial parent.
Although the vast majority of divorces end with the female being the custodial parent, it is possible that the husband is the injured party in the case. It is possible that the female who ends up with custody is also the one who initiates the divorce. There are circumstances where in such situations the female goes from one marriage almost directly into another. I know of some that have resulted in the wives not having any negative financial consequences whatsoever. However, the ex-husband has been out of house, home and hearth in order to support the new marriage.
I am really nervous about setting arbitrary rules that do not allow for judicial discretion. That is why we have divorces that go before judges.
Another concern about the guidelines is this. Are they to be a ceiling or a floor? What about the situation where a parent is capable of paying a lot more?
Third is the notion of reopening cases which have already been closed.
In 1977 Betty Jane Wylie, author of Beginnings: a book for widows , wrote that in the dim dark dark days before antiseptics women often died in childbirth and it was not uncommon for a man to outlive two or three wives. A man can still have two or three wives today but it is because of a thing called divorce. It is a lot more messy and a lot more expensive. There is absolutely no question it is far more expensive to get a divorce than it is to tough it out.
I will conclude my comments in the debate with the notion that it is perhaps much more important for us as a society to put our emphasis on the marriage and making it more difficult to get married rather than making it easier to get a divorce. Sometimes, and I speak from personal experience, the tougher thing to do is to work through the problems and tough it out. Therefore, the notion of a unified family court, the notion of arbitration and mediation and a proactive effort would be a very worthwhile exercise for Parliament to consider.
As the great Canadian Charlie Farquharson said, statistically two out of five marriages end in divorce; the rest of us stick it out until the bitter end. Therein might be a pearl of wisdom all of us might learn from. As we discuss the ramifications of divorce and family law on children, there is absolutely no question that those Canadians who are able to tough it out to the bitter end are probably going to find that what they have done for their family will pay great rewards in the long run.

Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, the member referred to a joke which with all due respect I do not share. Toughing out a marriage unfortunately is an attitude which has become far too prevalent in our society. The member well knows that when a couple splits up one thing is true, and that is that a second residence will be necessary. In the absence of any changes, the income levels of those two people, in terms of their accumulated revenues and the costs going out, are going to deteriorate. In fact, as a result of divorce many families live in poverty.
My question has to do with squaring the member's statement. I thought I detected some contradiction in his statements. He described his own unfortunate circumstance and I am sorry to hear that he has been divorced twice, but he said that we have to be big enough to accept our responsibilities and tough it out. I did not hear the member comment on the impact on the children and whether or not there were circumstances where even if the relationship had deteriorated that it was important enough, especially during the early years of a child's life, that the member should have been big enough to live up to his responsibilities which he undertook in his marriage vows.

Ian McClelland Edmonton Southwest, AB
Mr. Speaker, it is a very fair statement. When I made the comment about living up to responsibilities, I was talking about living up to the financial responsibilities. It is absolutely essential that once we have accepted our responsibility for making maintenance payments for our children, it is our responsibility.
The member opposite did not point out that I said often it is better for a child to be from a broken home than in one. That is exactly the case. I do not think there is any question there are families that are able to stick through it. Obviously, had I been able to for whatever reason, but because I did not do it does not make it right.
Statistically, the point I made was that when we look at the consequences of divorce, when we look at the consequences of family breakdown and single parenting as a direct consequence of divorce, it is fairly evident that families that do not suffer the consequences of that, for whatever reason whether it is alcohol or some other reason, are probably going to stand a better chance than families that do. It is self-evident.

Dan McTeague Ontario, ON
Mr. Speaker, I certainly appreciate the candidness with which the member for Edmonton Southwest expressed his comments. It is an issue most of us will deal with. I too would like to reflect a little on a personal note. A very personal friend of mine and his spouse are going through the trials and tribulations of a possible breakdown.
Given what the member has said in terms of suggesting that this bill might expedite the possibility of bringing about divorce or not providing an adequate remedy, I seem to get the impression at least from my constituents and many others who solicit all members of this House of Commons that the judicial system tends to lean more toward the interests of the female custodial parent as opposed to the male custodial parent.
Could the member clarify for me and for this House what his real objections are? There seems to be a contradiction in his statement in terms of suggesting that the legislation would not allow the judicial process.

Ian McClelland Edmonton Southwest, AB
Mr. Speaker, this legislation and the application of a grid for suggested payment guidelines was, as I said earlier in the budget debate, a fairly responsible and good step. The reason is that it sets out an amount whereby the custodial parent can expect to receive approximately that amount for each child.
Where I said that in my opinion it was perhaps weak was that we still must have judicial discretion. This has to be part of any payment that is made. It is very likely that while judicial discretion
is allowed in the bill, in other jurisdictions where a grid is in place, the grid has taken precedence over judicial discretion.

Antoine Dubé Lévis, QC
Mr. Speaker, as the member for Lévis, I am pleased to take part in this debate. As a man, I felt it was my duty to do so, because anything to do with child support is wrongly seen as being a subject that is primarily of interest to women.
This is based on the fact that, in reality, unfortunately, it is women who, as things now stand, more often find themselves responsible for families after a divorce.
I can understand the Reform Party member for Edmonton Southwest, who is one of the more moderate members of his party in many respects, including social issues. Nonetheless, I am not happy to hear him say that it would be better to tough it out than to get divorced. Toughing it out means, in certain cases, for many women and children, and perhaps for men too, putting up with intolerable suffering.
There is one statistic we cannot ignore. In 1990, in Canada, there were 78,152 divorces, and there are undoubtedly more now. Naturally, these divorces involve men and women, so if we multiply this number by two, we see that they affect 150,000 men and women. Furthermore, if we presume an average of two or more children per family, we are looking at 300,000 children affected by these divorces in Canada, and that is just for that particular year. It is not cumulative. Therefore, there were so many instances of divorce that affected 300,000 people in 1990, and probably 300,000 people and up were affected in 1991, and the numbers continue to rise.
We also know that an overwhelming majority, 98 per cent in 1988, of those receiving child support payments were women. The percentage is lower today, but it is still very high. That is why I say that I, as a man, and the men that I represent, should also be concerned about the situation. We can, however, have different points of view, depending on the party line and depending on the objectives of the various parties concerned.
I am a former member of the Standing Committee on Human Resources Development and a current member of the Standing Committee on Health, together with the hon. member for Mississauga-South. We both know how important the first years of life are and how economic and social conditions may have a subsequent effect on health and also create problems, I was going to say with respect to delinquency, but also for a person's social and individual development.
Ideally, and I am sure we all agree, everyone would have a father and mother who stay with their children until they reach the age of majority or even beyond that and who pay for their education. That is the ideal situation we would all wish for.
However, there is one factor we cannot ignore and I am referring to those 78,152 divorces that occurred in 1990. This does not include people living common law, who separate without first having been married and who have children. That is why when last year I saw the Minister of Justice table his plan, and we even saw a glimmer of hope in the last federal budget, something that had changed following the Thibodeau judgment. Basically, the well-known debate on deduction of support payments was no longer about considering one parent or the other, but about what was best for the children.
Twenty per cent of the children in this country live below the poverty line, and the vast majority are in single parent families.
We can say quite confidently that most of the time, in 80 per cent of the cases, these families are headed by women. That is a fact. I must say I am particularly sensitive to the situation of these mothers. In the final instance, children will suffer if we do not deal with the problem in the best possible way. And they will suffer for a long time.
If the economic situation gets worse, with all the psychological and other stress this entails, and this goes on for a number of years, the impact on the children can be catastrophic. Sometimes I hear members of this House, especially members of the Reform Party, say that the rate of juvenile delinquency is terrible, the crime rate is terrible and what is happening in our society is terrible. People often say they do not feel safe any more. I am willing to believe that, but we must try and understand how this happens.
Certain megastudies, which take into account the results of every possible analysis have discovered that these problems are often due to socio-economic problems that affect children when they are young and are not even aware of what is going on in the world. Stress is not always transmitted in an explicit and verbal way. It may be expressed through family tension, bickering, the tension that may exist between spouses, whether they are living together or not.
When spouses take legal action against each other, that affects the children. I am not saying this is so in all cases because some couples divorce amicably. Some men meet their responsibilities properly.
We are not accusing those who are acting properly. But there is one social fact the hon. member for Edmonton Southwest ought to understand: regrettably, a good proportion of people do not meet their responsibilities toward their children properly, and most of these are fathers. Sometimes they may feel that since they did not obtain custody, or joint custody, they are justified in making their ex-wives suffer without realizing that the ones suffering the most are their children. And that is intolerable.
I do not want to sound too critical. Let me take a different approach, since I feel that it is important for this debate to be held. It is important for we men to shoulder our responsibility, just as women responsible for single-parent families must. We must be aware that single parents need our help, be they women or men.
Recently, I attended a function of a single parent association in my riding. It was celebrating its 15th anniversary. There was a time when no men were seen in such associations, but I could see that now there are. Men are also heads of single parent households, and they find that incredibly difficult, as indeed it is.
I do not want to get into details of the private lives of the people here in this House, but I am sure that some here are single parents. Their duties here demand a lot of their time, and they may not have as much time as they would like to devote to their children, who may well have complaints about this.
I know that similar discussions go on in other professions, where there are also heavy responsibilities, where much is demanded of single parents, not just financially, but the financial aspect is a very important one, and ends up being intolerable. As I have already said, 20 per cent of the children in Canada, a country said to have one of the best standards of living in the world, 20 per cent of Canadian or Quebec children, are living below the poverty line.
Among the leading causes of this poverty is the situation of single-parent families and people not fulfilling their responsibilities properly.
While agreeing with the objective pursued by the minister and finding relatively few faults with his bill, I cannot help but notice that the bill shifts away from the strategy announced last spring. We, in the Bloc Quebecois, were afraid there would be discrepancies in the bill or that some of the provisions might be harmful.
Speaking as a former member of the human resources committee, I also notice through all this, good intentions and all, the excessively paternalistic attitude of the federal government in this area. I am also speaking as a Quebecer. Since last year, we have had in Quebec a scheme providing for all the conditions regarding support payments, including provision for support payments to be automatically be collected from spouses who are in default. It is complicated. It is all new and already there are growing pains. The scheme is still in its infancy.
The strange thing is-I can hear you from here, saying: "Here goes the Bloc, the official opposition, again with their line", but spouses who do not fulfil their obligations are in fact not honouring their marriage contract or commitments. And in wanting to interfere in this area, the federal government is interfering in an area of provincial jurisdiction. Let me elaborate.
Marriage comes under the jurisdiction of the provinces, while divorce is a federal matter. There are also those who are not married. When they separate, it is not a divorce. These people form a different group and they are not in any way subject to this bill, which only deals with the issue of divorce. However, the fact is that, in Canada and in Quebec, more and more people are involved in common-law relationships.
Again, the paradox with the current federal system is that people get married under the laws of the province but divorce under federal laws. This is somewhat odd, but such is the situation right now.
In this area, the federal government displays a committed, pervasive and embarrassing paternalistic attitude, as it does in the education and health sectors. In this area, as in the other two which I just mentioned, the federal government introduces guidelines in a bill, presents the whole package to the provinces and tells them: "Sure, you can get involved in this, but provided you do this, that and the other thing. If you do not accept our guidelines, then we are sorry but the federal system will prevail as regards the issue of divorce, because it comes under federal jurisdiction".
This creates a strange situation. For example, if a married couple with two children divorces, the federal legislation will prevail. However, the same situation involving common-law spouses whose children have the same financial needs will be dealt with under provincial law.
Given all the differences in treatment that can take place, I ask you: Is this a fair and balanced situation that will promote consistent social development? This is one of the flaws of the federal system. We have no choice but to say it again: the federal government, the federal "big brother" feels compelled to get involved, with its not so subtle approach, in issues that come under provincial jurisdiction.
When one province does not agree, it is punished, it is not entitled to the benefits of the federal system, or, when there are no benefits, the federal government carries the day.
That, therefore, is the opposition's opinion of this bill. I hope that debate goes well. It is possible that the Liberal government, which has the majority, will decide not to make any concessions or compromises, but that would not be conducive to harmony. At the outset, I hope that government representatives agree to the compromises that will be proposed by official opposition members, who are trying to make a constructive contribution, because these are situations affecting human beings, individuals on whom the decisions made will have important social repercussions, particularly for children, and therefore for everyone's future.
I know that the member for Mississauga South is a sensitive man. He sits with me on the Standing Committee on Health. As I know the influence he has over his colleagues, I challenge him to try to convince them to think about the health of children, given that we want to see more harmonious relations between men and women who have responsibilities with respect to children, and, although there has been a softening of their position, to convince them to be receptive to the compromises we are proposing.

Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have just a brief comment and a question. The comment has to do with common law relationships. The member commented about how prevalent this is in our society.
The member might be interested in studying some research about the incidence of family violence in families and those living common law. I think he will find that the incidence of family violence is more prevalent in common law relationships.
My question has to do with prevention versus dealing with the problems after they happen. The member says Quebec has a good system in that it garnishees or takes away the payments so that orders can be enforced. The member spent all this time talking about how to deal with the problem after the problem exists.
I want to ask the member whether he does not think that a system like the one they have in some of the states in the United States, where couples with problems are required to take a 12-week program as a reality check before contemplating divorce, should occur before divorces are granted in Quebec or Canada.

Antoine Dubé Lévis, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am not very familiar with the American system the hon. member is referring to. Frankly, when I do not know a subject very well, I do not usually talk about it because I am not convincing. And when I am not convinced myself, I am even less convincing.
Having said that, I have not closed my mind to this idea. We will consider it together. The hon. member for Québec sitting in front of me is our critic on the status of women. If this is a good idea, she will surely give us some advice after thoroughly reviewing the issue. So we will have to wait for that.
One last thing. I do not know what it is like elsewhere, but in Quebec, for example, CLSCs, local community health centres, or private organizations provide services to attempt reconciliation before a couple separates; they try to help the spouses patch things up while looking after the children's best interest. There is a long tradition associated with this. Things do not always go smoothly because there are unfortunately cases of extreme violence in which people even manage to kill their former spouses, which is deplorable.
Finally, Reformers often talk about criminals on the streets, dangerous offenders who make people feel unsafe, but 85 per cent of crimes are committed by people who are oftentimes very close, like family members, and who are often former spouses. The hon. member talks about prevention. I pay close attention to this and I will support any measure he may propose when-

Through CESO International Services, Steve Meissner, Donald MacLeod, Dirk Booy and Al Galusz have at the grassroots level exemplified the time honoured Canadian tradition of international co-operation and responsibility.
CESO volunteer advisers are professionally skilled men and women, usually retired, who share their years of experience with companies and organizations in developing countries.
On behalf of the people of Cambridge, I welcome back these volunteers who have done Canada proud. I urge them to continue playing a role in assisting developing economies of our global village.

Mr. Speaker, on this International Music Day, I would like to draw attention to Nil Parent's initiative and the fulfilment of his dream, which is called "Ronde et Bleue".
To keep a promise he made to his son suffering from an incurable disease, this determined musician from Quebec composed an ode to peace. At 10 minutes past 10 this morning, Quebec time, thousands of men, women and children in America, Europe and Africa, in schools and on the streets, sang together in a single voice.
This event was a rehearsal for the great rendezvous on December 31, 1999, when a global choir will sing the hymn to peace.
This megaproject conveys a message of hope that, on the eve of the next millennium, peace will become a common goal and flourish all over the world.

Mr. Speaker, subpoenas are not issued on a whim and politicians are not above the law. We are all citizens of this country called Canada. The rule of law is fundamental to our democracy. Therefore, it is essential that we as Canada's lawmakers be subject to the laws passed by this Parliament.
A Saskatchewan court is calling upon the deputy leader of the Conservatives in the Senate to testify on corruption charges in the Devine government where he was second in command. He is avoiding court by invoking a little used privilege of MPs and senators that excuses them from answering a subpoena for 40 days before or after a session as well as during a session.
In avoiding the court order, the Tories' deputy leader is breaching Canadians' trust in a place where trust should be raised to the highest level. The Senate remains an anachronism yet it has continued to be supported by this Prime Minister.
The actions of the Tories' deputy leader has tarnished the image of all politicians. There is clearly no need to invoke immunity. It exhibits a serious abuse of privilege.
Resign Senator Berntson.

Bill Blaikie Winnipeg—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, like a growing morning light in a political landscape darkened and dreary by years of uncritically accepting corporate Canada's pathetic platitudes about what Canada needs, we see the political pendulum start to come back in 1996.
From the provincial byelection in Halifax-Fairview where the NDP got 65 per cent of the vote, to the federal byelection in Hamilton East where we came second getting more votes than the Tories and Reformers put together, to the re-election of the NDP in B.C., and now the NDP Government of Yukon, we see Canadians rejecting what the right-wing Liberals, Tories and Reformers have been telling them.
There is another way. It is not an easy way, but the way of solving our problems on the basis of community and co-operation rather than competition and concessions to the powerful.
Congratulations to Piers McDonald and the Yukon NDP for giving Canadians hope. The next federal election is just around the corner and more and more Canadians appear to know just who the real opposition is.

Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to inform the House that St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador and the Canadian Red Cross are playing host to the world this week.
Sixty high-ranking officials of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent movement from around the world are gathering in St. John's for a three day convention. This is the first time in the group's history that it has met outside Europe. The choice of St. John's for this year's meeting shows the support that the Canadian Red Cross and the Canadian government have given to the International Red Cross movement over the years.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the humanitarian services provided by the Canadian Red Cross to the world. Their service and dedication to those less fortunate is well known around the globe.
I am honoured that they have chosen St. John's for their meeting. I want to extend on behalf of the government greetings to the participants.

FAA Recalls 800 Furloughed Air Safety Workers
FAA is recalling some of its airline and aircraft safety inspectors furloughed by the government shutdown now entering its eighth day Tuesday.
More than 800 workers from its Office of Aviation Safety were recalled this week. These workers had been deemed nonessential under the Department of Transportation's (DoT) lapse in annual appropriations plan.
Under the limited recall, about 200 engineers, inspectors and safety staff will return to FAA's Aircraft Certification Service, and more than 600 airline safety inspectors will return to the Flight Standards Service at airports across the country. The Office of Aerospace Medicine will also see 25 physicians and support staff return to work to support the Air Traffic Controller health program.
One segment of the agency that will remain furloughed is general aviation (GA) accident investigators.
"In the event of a general aviation accident, the FAA will collect information from local law enforcement, emergency responders and other officials, to conduct a basic investigation. If investigators identify an urgent high risk that requires additional resources, the agency would recall the necessary personnel to respond to the matter. The FAA is not responding to GA accidents with on-site investigation," the agency said.
As the shutdown continues, the agency said it will continue to evaluate safety risks within the National Airspace System (NAS), and continue recalling support staff to address emergency needs.
In a statement, Mike Perrone, national president of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, AFL-CIO (PASS) a trade union for aviation safety inspectors, said safety inspectors need to be back on the job immediately.
"Before this shutdown, understaffing of the aviation safety inspector workforce was a serious issue; now, for every minute these inspectors are off the job, the backlog of their oversight and surveillance continues to grow. As we enter the second week of the government shutdown, Congress must immediately work to end the shutdown and put an end to undermining the critical work these inspectors perform," Perrone said.

What I Wore: Cowgirl Up!
Monday, August 15, 2011
I was running late the other day and OF COURSE the batteries in my camera were dead and OF COURSE my husband was late getting home from work, so these outfit pictures were taken by my five year old... with my iPhone. Quality. Always quality.
Anyway, when I bought these cowboy boots in the summer of 09, I was involved in a deep and abiding love affair that lasted until Christmas, when I got my fave Fryes. I don;t think I wore my cowboys for an entire year after that. Slowly they're making their way back into my normal rotation. I do love them with skinny jeans because they're the perfect height and super comfortable. Seriously. They are so comfortable. I think everyone should have a fun pair of boots. It's my dream to go hang out in an old timey honky tonk one of these days. Even though I grew up in the city, I love me some boot stompin'!
That's what happens when you live in a cornfield, people.
Top: I haven't got the slightest clue. It's one of those pieces I've had for years and years and years yet I don't ever remember buying it. Ever.
Knit vest: Urban Trend
Jeans: Abercrombie and Fitch
Boots: Soda
Earrings: Local boutique
Ring: F21
I believe I featured this ring on the site a few times before I finally went and just bought it. I love its awesome gaudiness and the blue is the perfect pop for literally any other color. The earrings I picked up at a crafty-type boutique. Love supporting the fashion little guy!
So I think my kindergartner did OK with the pictures. I promise the real camera is back for next week's post. I already took the shots of my blue shoes that I wore yesterday. They were epic.

TV Chef Giada de Laurentiis' secret to staying slim when she's surrounded by food 24-7.
There's one question Giada de Laurentiis is asked by fans over and over�and it�s not, �How long should I cook my pasta?� They want to know how she stays fit, when she has spent years cooking delicious recipes for Food Network�s Everyday Italian, Giada at Home and Giada in Paradise. Her new book, Giada�s Feel Good Food, is the answer. �I�ve written seven cookbooks, and after a while writing cookbooks can get�a little monotonous!� says Giada, 43. �I liked the idea of doing a cooking and lifestyle book, because being healthy is not just about food. It�s a whole way of living.� We got the scoop from the�Italian-born chef on what powers her through long days on set, the major health change she made during pregnancy, and her favorite meal to cook for daughter Jade, now 5. Spry: What are your plans for Thanksgiving this year? Giada: I think we�ll go to New York and see the Macy�s Thanksgiving Day Parade. We went last year, and it was just so much fun for Jade. I had to pick her jaw up off the floor! It�s nice to establish new traditions when you start your own family. Spry: Staying healthy around the holidays can be a struggle, especially when it comes to food. How do you suggest coping with that? Giada: Try taking a few family holiday recipes and tweaking them so they�re a little�more modern. It�s empowering to hold onto a little bit of the past but also recreate it for now. Spry: How is your approach to food influenced by your Italian roots? Giada: Portion sizes are much smaller in Italy than they are�here. In America, we have distorted what the portions for our bodies are. You see it in Italians�who came here for a better life, too. In their minds, a better life was bigger meatballs! But we don�t need to eat so�much. My philosophy is, I eat a little bit of everything and not a lot of anything. Spry: You�ve said being pregnant made you rethink your approach to health. What was the biggest change? Giada: Sugar�I lived on it for�a big portion of my life. I would eat a smaller savory meal so I could eat cookies! But when I was pregnant, my doctor warned me about gestational diabetes. I realized that I need to get energy from real food, not from sugar. Spry: What do you do for a healthy energy boost? Giada: If I�m feeling sluggish for more than a couple days and I�m at home, I�ll do a cleanse with homemade juices or smoothies. When I�travel, I have a little bag of homemade trail mix with me for a quick pick-me-up. A nut mixture with a tiny bit of sweetness will last you to your next meal, to when you can get something a little healthier. I have a large mason jar that I keep filled with these homemade mixes, and I just refill the baggies when I need to. Spry: Are there ever days when you just don�t feel like cooking? Giada: Yes! Last night, for example�I took leftovers of different pastas and combined�them with some egg and Parmesan cheese and fried the mixture in a pan. That�s sometimes how I get away with not having to make a whole meal. But if worst comes to worst, my husband is always happy with a bowl of cereal. Spry: How do you make sure Jade eats healthfully on a busy schedule? Giada: I always have two different kinds of carbohydrates�pasta, brown rice or mashed potatoes�in the fridge, cooked and unseasoned. Then I have containers with two different kinds of protein�maybe homemade chicken nuggets and lamb chops. Then I have veggies, like broccoli and green beans, which Jade loves. I take a little bit of one protein, one carb and some greens, and heat it in a skillet with some olive oil and Parmesan, and that�s her meal. Spry: Do you approach fitness differently in your 40s? Giada: When I was younger, I was a gym rat. I didn�t know what else was out there. When I was pregnant, my doctor suggested prenatal yoga, and I thought, �That�s not a workout! It�s stretching.� But yoga strengthens my core and helps my posture, which is great because I stand so much on the set. It also helps clear my mind, which you don�t often get to do when you have children! I look forward to an hour of yoga in a way I never looked forward to working out. Brought to you by: Spry Living

Didn't your parents teach you if you have nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all?
Learn to judge people on character, beauty lasts five minutes of your life.
I used to model but I'm still confident and its because I've always placed more value on character. True beauty comes from within, I don't care how beautiful someone's appearance is. If their personality is ugly, it makes them unattractive and that's the truth. Anyways, I think both of their daughters are gorgeous and I'm not basing it on their looks. I'm not going to comment on their physical beauty, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Windows is not older. For the first release of OS/400, 90% of CPF from
the System/38 was reused, with a little bit from the System/36 thrown in
and a lot of new code. OS/400 release 1 was basically a superset of CPF.
The System/38 was announced in 1978 and started shipping in 1979, so
Windows is less legacy when using that definition, but not by much.

Subject: Re: The i and DHCP
In my experience DHCP has not been an issue. Firewalls, duplicate client
IP addresses due to network misconfiguration, running out of DEVDs, etc.
but not DHCP.
What is the resolution for the devices when they can't connect? That
should give you an idea as to how/why the problem is happening.
In the mean time, on the i I would suggest making sure QAUTOCFG and
QAUTOVRT are set appropriately. On the client side, consider configuring
the emulator to generate unique session names (QPADEVnnnn) unless your
environment requires static names.
As to the help desk's attitude about the i, their manager should be
stressing the platform's relative importance to the help desk staff. The
staff needs to care because the company uses it. The debate about legacy
v. modern is immaterial. (And FWIW Windows came out in 1984; OS/400 in
1988. Using the definition of legacy = older, Windows is more legacy.)

Freshmen set tempo early on
Central, County athletes shine in the spotlight
They are only freshman but already a trio is serving notice that they must be reckoned with this winter sports season.
Central High School's Kaylee Eakman has quickly established herself as a state-caliber diver.
Eakman posted her second state-qualifying mark last week with a 213.65-point performance in a dual meet against cross-town rival Central. That topped an earlier qualifying mark of 211.60 in the city meet held two weeks ago.
Eakman's performance was one of a number of top efforts turned in early in the winter sports season by Southern Colorado prep athletes.
Pueblo County High School frosh wrestlers Chris Sandoval and Hunter Willits also are making an auspicious debut. Both captured individual titles at the Northern Colorado Christmas Tournament — Sandoval the 120-pound division and Willits the 132 crown — and remain unbeaten early in the season.
Other top performances this past week included:
Swink senior guard Brandon Book poured in 44 points in the Lions' 89-84 overtime loss to Rye. Book, who averaged 27 points last year as a junior, connected on six 3-point goals. Earlier in the week the 6-foot-1 sharpshooter connected for 33 against Sanford.
Pueblo West swimmer Miranda Coxen also has hit a state-qualifying time two weeks into the season. The Cyclones' sophomore turned a 2:24.25 in the 200 individual medley during PW's dual meet against Pueblo County.
South hoopster Shannon Patterson had the top scoring performance in girls basketball with 31 points to lead the Colts past Fountain-Fort Carson 78-36. Patterson dropped 11 field goals, including five 3-pointers.
Central 106-pound wrestler William Tomsic turned in the fastest pin for the week when he stuck Canon City's Michael Deboer in a lightning 14 seconds.
South 220-pounder Zane Sliger was nearly as quick on the mat as the Colts' sophomore scored a 34-second pin over Pueblo County's Gabe Vasquez in dual action, and Dolores Huerta 170-pounder Julian Gallegos took care of La Junta's Salvador Vega in 39 seconds.
Other high scoring basketball performances came from Pueblo West's Haley Simental with 28 points against Green Valley, Fowler's Larry Hamilton 27 against Las Animas, Central's Michael Ranson 26 points against Mesa Ridge, Centennial's Sam Taravella 26 against Falcon, East's TJ Gradisar 25 against Holcomb and Rye's Sam Ambler 25 in the OT win over Swink in which Book hit his 44.
- Central finds team chemistry in boys basketball win over East
- PREP BOYS BASKETBALL: West wipes out deficit at haltime
- PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL: South hikes record to 13-1 and 2-0 in conference
- Local wrestlers plan to top the Rockies

Micron Technology has entered the battle for the consolidated Taiwanese maker of dynamic random access memory, which is now called Taiwan Memory by several media resources. The company will have to offer the government and local memory makers the best terms to win the deal.
Micron on Monday confirmed that it had submitted proposal to Taiwan government offering funds and intellectual property in return for being the leader in the DRAM makers consolidation plan. Micron is willing to build a research and development center in Taiwan, which, while working in collaboration with Micron's own R&D facility in Boise, Idaho, will design fabrication processes for Taiwan Memory conglomerate. Naturally, Micron will get either a share, or the whole output of the consolidate memory maker.
Elpida Memory, the world's third largest DRAM supplier after Samsung and Hynix, was expected to sign the deal with the Taiwanese government and integrate its operations with Powerchip Semiconductor Corp., ProMOS Technologies as well as Rexchip Electronics Corp. According to the reports, Powerchip and ProMOS were expected to consolidate under Rexchip, which would become a subsidiary of Elpida by late March, 2009. However, nothing have been signed despite the media reports.
According to some reports, Micron may bring $2 billion funding for Taiwan Memory, meanwhile, Elpida's alliance could be eligible for Taiwanese public funds worth about ¥100 billion ($1.056 billion).
Taiwanese government is working to consolidate the country's struggling DRAM industry in order to create a large DRAM manufacturer that would either be a part of a foreign DRAM maker or would collaborate very closely with it. Elpida and Micron are among the companies who want to consolidate Taiwan's DRAM industry under itself.

Hi Bellas,
This morning I was browsing my monthly shoe club, www.ShoeDazzle.com and I thought it would be a great idea to do a monthly post on what shoe I pick for the month. For those of you who don't know, this is Kim Kardashian's shoe club. You take a style profile, and each month stylist's pick out shoes for you based on your preferences. It's $39.99 a month and it's a great way to find different, fun and trendy pieces to add to your shoe collection. I plan on doing a video to catch you up on my last 6 months of purchases lol, but moving forward here is June's shoe selection.
Click here for more!
This month, in celebration of Summer, I chose the Nattie. I'm a Florida girl at heart and love bright, fun colors. This shoe is also super Barbie-Licious. Let's hope I can walk in them!
I think this would look cute with a pair of jeans with a cuff and some simple top. It's all about the shoes with this look. This is how they dressed the model. Personally I would avoid stripes with florals but if you're funky go for it!

Local Briefs
Holiday Park shooting suspect arrested
Brian Keith Muzzy, 31, turned himself in to authorities at 16th Street Northwest and Fourth Avenue Northwest at 2:45 p.m. Monday, Muzzy was a suspect in the shooting of a man in the "B" row of the Holiday Park Trailer Court Sunday evening.
Muzzy was arrested without incident but the gun used in the shooting has yet to be recovered, according to Capt. Bob Barnard of the Ward County Sheriff's Department.
Prior to Muzzy's arrest, the Sheriff's office had issued a press release giving Muzzy's description, and then issued a no-bond arrest warrant on him for attempted murder.
Not much is known about Muzzy other than that he has resided in the Minot area for about a year and has been working construction in the area. Prior to moving to North Dakota, Muzzy was known to work construction in Colorado but it is unknown if he is originally from there.
Initial investigations have revealed that the victim, who is being held at Trinity Hospital in an unknown condition, was shot during an argument at the home where he resided with Muzzy and other roommates, Barnard said.
Muzzy is being held in the Ward County Jail, without bond, pending an initial appearance in district court at the Ward County Courthouse.

Woman involved in hit and run skips town
Minot Central Dispatch received a call reporting that a vehicle involved in a head-on collission near the intersection of Hillcrest Drive and Third Street Northeast was fleeing the scene late Monday morning, Minot Police said.
Dispatches and radio calls continued for the next 45 minutes or so as police would receive new information on the whereabouts of the vehicle. Police followed a trail of anti-freeze and vehicular debris beginning at the intersection of Third Street and Sixth Avenue Northeast before the trail went cold at 27th Street Southeast where the street enters Burdick Expressway.
The fleeing vehicle, allegedly driven by a woman, is described as a "white car with extensive damage with airbag deployment" in unofficial police reports.
No further information was available by mid-afternoon Monday regarding the incident.

Just when you think Cleveland sports teams have run out of ways to lose, the Gladiators showed great creativity last night and forfeited their game against Pittsburgh because the players went on strike.
The players union decided to strike yesterday at 2:00, but apparently they didn't bother to tell the team or the fans (who showed up to watch). And apparently they didn't tell the Pittsburgh team, or all of the Cleveland players as some still showed up. Word is there were Cleveland players in the locker room, but not enough to field a team.
Talk about solidarity...
Just when you thought arena football couldn't get more irrelevant.
Support the USFL. End the arena madness.

Porcupine Meatballs
Recipe courtesy of Miriam Garron for Food Network Magazine
- 1 scallion, roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons peeled, chopped fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1/2 pound ground pork (preferably pork butt)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dry sherry or vermouth
- 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons hot Asian chili sauce (Sriracha)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 3 -ounce package Oriental-flavor ramen noodles, with seasoning packet
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Salt
- Sweet chili sauce, for dipping
Pulse the scallion, ginger and cilantro in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the pork, sherry, sesame oil, hot chili sauce, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the egg and half (1 1/4 teaspoons) of the ramen seasoning; process until smooth. Refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes.
Heat 4 inches of vegetable oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees.
Soak the ramen noodles in a bowl of hot tap water for 5 minutes, flipping once; they should be pliable enough to pull apart without breaking. Drain well and pat dry. Carefully pull the strands apart; cover with plastic wrap.
With dampened hands, shape 1 scant tablespoon of the pork mixture into a ball. Wrap and press some noodles around the ball, letting a bit of meat show through. Repeat with the remaining meat and noodles.
Fry the meatballs in the hot oil in batches, adjusting the heat as needed, until the noodles are crisp and golden brown and the meat is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt. Serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Today, California Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. concluded a highly successful trade and investment mission to China in the port city of Shenzhen. Multimillion-dollar business deals between Chinese and Californian companies were announced during the visit.
At an April 10 reception at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing hosted by Ambassador Gary Locke, Governor Brown announced a $1.5 billion investment partnership between a California-based developer and a China-based investor and developer that will create thousands of California jobs. "This massive influx of Chinese investment will put thousands of Californians to work and dramatically improve Oakland's waterfront," said Governor Brown.
Governor Brown described this trade mission as a first step toward improved relations between California and China that will benefit both sides. The trade and investment mission's seven-day visit -- April 10-16 -- included stops in Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. The Governor was joined by a delegation of 75 business, economic development, investment, and policy leaders from throughout California.
Governor Brown highlighted bilateral trade and investment opportunities and stressed the importance of collaboration between California and China on renewable energy, climate change, research, higher education, and technology. The Governor opened a trade and investment office in Shanghai, signed six memoranda of understanding on trade and environmental issues, and met with Chinese central and provincial leaders in both government and business. Governor Brown and Chinese Minister of Commerce Gao Hucheng signed a landmark agreement to bolster economic ties and cooperation between California and China and established a joint working group that includes representatives from California, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, and six Chinese provinces.
Governor Brown's trade mission followed more than a year of significant diplomatic and business exchanges between the State of California and China. My office, in collaboration with U.S. Embassy Beijing, supported Governor Brown in the planning and execution of the trade mission, which is a concrete manifestation of our ongoing efforts to increase U.S.-China engagement at the local level. U.S.-China ties are richer and more extensive than ever before. The further we deepen our relationship, the more we need to bring into play the skills and energies of partners beyond our central and federal governments.

My favorite way to have a veggie burger-
Cut up the veggie burger (my favorite, the pizza pesto flavor) into bite size bits, put them in the middle of a soft flour tortilla, top with a cutup slice of provalone cheese, around a half cup of fresh spinach, and either sliced tomatos or ketchup. wrap it all up, and you have a delicious vegetarian lunch. Low calories, yummy, and my absoloute favorite.

LOL when it said my favorite way to dress up a burger is, I was thinking with a pink fluffy dress, some black shiny shoes and a bonnet <3 ^_^
But my fav way to prepare veggies burgers is go to the counter burger, order a veggie burger with no cheese, some carrots, lots of greens, and some fresh tomatoes, with teriyaki sauce. I'm a horrible cook, but at home I just microwave the veggie burger, put it on a toasted bun and smother teriyaki sauce all over it. Delicious! And then I add some seaweed to put some crunch in it, or just eat it as a side. 🙂
The cookbook could probably help me cook something that will satisfy people other than me.

There are so many different ways I dress my veggie burgers, but I'd have to say Veganaise on a toasted bun, spicy mustard, escarole or red leaf lettuce, a few slices of my home grown tomatoes, and a slice of Tofutti. Maybe a sprinkle of nutritional yeast and a zesty pickle. (size S please)
1630 days ago
Well… my favorite way to do a veggie burger would probably be to BBQ it, eat it on a bun with cheddar style dairy-free cheese slices, ketchup, a slice of tomato and a peice of lettuce. Sometimes with pickles, onion slice or mustard when I wanna mix it up. 🙂
Or I might just eat it cold on some bread with vegan mayo and lettuce. Like a sandwich. Yum.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
"Genus Nacella Schumacher, 1817
Type Patella mytilina Helbing, 1779
This genus and its subgenus Patinigera are characteristic molluscs of Antarctic and Subantarctic seas. They have their centre of distribution in the Magellanic Province of southern South America from whence the seaweed-dwelling species in particular tend to spread eastward, being assisted to a considerable extent by the prevailing West Wind Drift that operates strongly in the Subantarctic Zone.
Although Nacella and Patinigera are not members of the Indo-Pacific fauna, the recognized species are listed and briefly described here, since many of them do occur in waters to the south of both the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and at one location, Campbell Island, in the New Zealand faunal area, both Nacella (Patinigera) and the warmer-water derived Cellana flourish side by side.
Both Nacella and Patinigera differ from all other Patellidae in the presence of an epipodial fringe, a scalloped lamellate flange that occupies a mid position between the edge of the foot and the gill cordon, except where it is interrupted by the head region.
There is a link with Patella in that the gill cordon is complete, not interrupted by the head as it is in Cellana. The dentition, on the other hand, with its pair of centrals, alternating with a pair of laterals, is comparable with that of Cellana, not short, straight and bent back upon itself at the nascent end as it is in Patella.
Thiele in 1929 proposed the subfamily Nacellinae for Nacella, Patinigera and Cellana, but the epipodial fringe, characteristic of Nacella and its subgenus Patinigera, is not found in Cellana or in any other patellid genus.
The radula, on the other hand, is very similar in all three of the above mentioned taxa, but very different from that of the Patellinae.
Description-Shell rather small to moderately large, thin and fragile, typically elliptical, high-arched, with the apex strongly curved forward and downward, sometimes almost at the anterior end. The surface is smooth, or occasionally weakly radially ridged. Colour pale-olive to brownish, the apex coppery; inside silvery iridescent to reddish bronze. The species live mostly attached to large seaweeds, and range from southern Chile and Argentina to the Kerguelen Island.
1817 Nacella Schumacher, Essai d'un Noveau Systeme des Habitations, p. 179. Type, by subsequent designation, Gray, 1847: Patella mytilina Helbling, 1779."
