Posted on 07/04/2013 5:14:34 AM PDT by bert
Chief justice Adly Mansour takes oath hours after democratically elected Mohamed Morsi overthrown by military.
Top judge Mansour has been sworn in as Egypt interim president, hours after Mohamed Morsi was overthrown in a military coup following huge protests against his one-year rule.
Adly Mansour took the oath of interim president on Thursday, as his democratically elected predecessor, Mohamed Morsi, was held in an unspecified military barracks along with senior aides.
Before the constitutional court, Mansour said: "I swear by God to uphold the Republican system and respect the constitution and law... and safeguard the people and protect the nation."
"The revolutionaries of Egypt are everywhere and we salute them all, those who prove to the world that they are strong enough, the brave youth of Egypt, who were the leaders of this revolution."
Separately, Mansour was made head of the supreme constitutional court - a position he was due to take on June 30, when protests against Morsi's one year in power began in earnest.
Morsi was overthrown by the military on Wednesday. According to a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi was being held in a military facility with top aides.
"Morsi and the entire presidential team are under house arrest in the Presidential Republican Guards Club," Gehad El-Haddad, the son of a top Morsi aide, told AFP news agency on Thursday. Haddad's father, Essam El-Haddad, widely seen as Morsi's right-hand man, was among those held, he added.
Brotherhood rounded up
Less than an hour after Mansour was sworn in, Egyptian prosecutors issued arrest warrants for the Brotherhood's top leader, Mohamed Badie, and his deputy, Khairat el-Shater, judicial and army sources told Reuters news agency.
Shater was the group's first choice candidate to run in last year's presidential election. He was disqualified from the race due to past convictions. Hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood officials were also reported to have been arrested, with many senior leaders being held in the Torah prison in Cairo - the same prison holding Hosni Mubarak, who was himself deposed in the 2011 revolution.
In a televised broadcast, flanked by military leaders, religious authorities and political figures, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi effectively declared the removal of Morsi.
Sisi called for presidential and parliamentary elections, a panel to review the constitution and a national reconciliation committee that would include youth movements. He said the roadmap had been agreed by a range of political groups.
Islamist supporters of Morsi who have gathered in a Cairo suburb reacted angrily to the announcement by the army.
Some broke up paving stones, forming piles of rocks. Muslim Brotherhood security guards in hard hats and holding sticks formed a cordon around the encampment, close to a mosque. Men and women wept and chanted.
Denouncing military chief Sisi, some shouted: "Sisi is void! Islam is coming! We will not leave!"
At least 14 people were killed when opponents and supporters of Morsi clashed after the army announced his removal, officials said. Eight of those died in the northern city of Marsa Matrouh, including two members of the security fources.
Three people were killed and at least 50 wounded in Alexandria, state news agency MENA reported; a woman stabbed in the stomach, and two men killed by birdshot.
Three people were also killed and 14 wounded in the southern city of Minya, including two police, MENA said.
'Revolution re-launched'
Speaking shortly after Sisi's announcement, liberal opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei said the "2011 revolution was re-launched" and that the roadmap meets the demand of the protesters.
Egypt's leading Muslim and Christian clerics also backed the army-sponsored roadmap.
Pope Tawadros, the head of the Coptic Church, said the plan offered a political vision and would ensure security for all Egyptians, about 10 percent of whom are Christian. Egypt's second largest Islamist group, the Nour party, said in a statement that it agreed to the army roadmap in order to avoid further conflict.
Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president, came under huge pressure in the run-up to Sunday's anniversary of his maiden year in office, with his opponents accusing him of failing the 2011 revolution by concentrating power in Islamist hands.
The embattled 62-year-old proposed a "consensus government" as a way out of the crisis. That was not enough for the army, and Mansour, a previously little known judge, was installed as the country's interim leader.
He looks serenly judgely
So a coup here would give us President John Roberts? What good is that?
I wonder if used that word (as opposed to "democratic system") deliberately? I wonder if he knows the difference? I wonder if he will try to give Egypt a republic, as America once was?
John Roberts?
Not necessarily. I believe the Constitution gives the line of succession should the President go away.
But by military coup, I really doubt if they'd want a lefty of any sorts (including RINO's) in charge. Probably someone born in the US for starters, someone who loves, not hates America, and someone that respects the Constitution.
Can anyone out there guess who has the respect of honest Americans out there that might be selected interim President if a coup happened here?
I'm sure Obama would much rather have him in a full beard, headscarf and a koran...
That's what Brney Frank would look like if he was straight.
I'd still hold-off on the vacay to Egypt. They have interesting times ahead.
isn't there someone from Obama's past named Mansour? Related maybe? Just a-wondering cause ya-neva-know...
wonder how he got the job?
I strongly believe a coup could never happen in the US. Why? The average American has too much to lose. Revolutions generally happen in places where the people either have nothing much to lose or very much to gain, and middle-America (which would have to participate for any chance of success) simply has too much to lose. Even with things not being as good for the average American as they could be, things are not so bad that they are willing to support such an act. Impossibility level is exceedingly high. It would be literally easier for Zambia to fund a mission to Mars.
Now to apply for our 1.8 billion refund....
Mansour said: "I swear by God to uphold the Republican system and respect the constitution and law.
God -- not Allah?
Republican -- not small R republican (ok, an interesting editorial decision by Al Jazeera - unless it was also a written statement)
the Constitution -- which one? the MB bastardization or the original one?
We do not want a refund of the aid.
It was provided to an ally that is now resurgent.
If you think the recent counter revolutionary events were not expected you are being fooled
You should keep in mind that even though the Brotherhood instituted or tried to institute a radical islamic state, it never harmed Israel or made actual threatening moves
Absolutely. Very dangerous days ahead.
Just imagine people that have been there for days already, in the heat, with little water, food or sanitation. Has all the ingredients.
Sounds like a powerful impetus driving this change of regime. Trying to think of any where else that might apply where the regime in power is thinking ahead as to how to permanently concentrate power in the hands of their party... doing things to ensure this, such as changing the electorate, for example.
Has ANYONE seen reports of the anti-0bama hatred in Egypt? I haven't heard any mention of them even on Fox.
democratically elected with 24% of the vote...........and after Mubarak was illegally thrown out................uh, see any issues there?
He probably knows the difference
sheesh my childhood pediatrician was named Mansour, he was an escaped Christian Jordanian, great guy
Simple answer: "YOUR GUY'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!"
.......you make good points but the word "coup" connotes "military" and our West Pointers and Annapolis guys have zero experience mentally with that concept. It is kinda sorta like the Chinese Navy that everyone wrings their hands over all the time. They don't have any experience either. You could give them 10 Nimitz Air Craft Carriers along with the air wings! What good would it do them? They could not operate them! What "War in the Pacific" have the Chinese ever been involved in, in the past 1,000 years. Our guys have that non trnsferable naval combat experience, the Chinese don't. They can steal all the plans to all the complicated systems they want but, most of the time, they could not operate them. Similarly, our guys have no experience with "coups". Contrarily, the Chinese have regurgitated their leaders fairly regularly over the past 1,000 years.
Egypt is officially called the Arab Republic of Egypt
My thought: Who owns the army....owns the country.
Now think about OUR Right To Bear Arms.
Good catch..
America needs a TAX REVOLT - everyone ups their deductions on their W2s so as to not PAY taxes to the gov't - if we were to do this enmass our gov't would go broke (which we are technically now, but they keep spending OUR TAX DOLLARS)...
Me, too. I would dearly love to go visit some of the archaeology sites and museums... but not yet. I'm a bit worried that I've heard talk of fanatics destroying some of the monuments and so forth. I adore ancient Egyptian culture; such a loss would be devastating.
Fox is becoming like the RINOs (McCain, Graham, etc). Not far left like the other networks, but hardly conservative, except for just a few folks.
Fox not showing the photos you describe. Fox won't show a real photo of Trayvon Martin either, only the photo of when he was 12 yo. Sweet innocent kid.
I must have missed something, who is my guy?
It's the standard FReeper answer to the question, "Will you support my guy?"
The FReepers Definition of Conservative: I'm not sure, but whatever it is, it sure as hell aint YOU!!!
You know you got a problem when Al Jazeera has better reporting on this than US media. Some of the most patriotic people that I know are Arab Christians living in the US. Why? Probably because they know exactly what it's like living in a Muslim dictatorship, and want nothing to do with it. Congrats to the Egyptian Tea Party, hope they can keep their Republic.
Thanks for the education.
Enjoy your day.
dead Judge walking.
From the UK Guardian story:
"Mansour, who was appointed as head of the constitutional court on Sunday, said this week's protests had "corrected the path of the glorious revolution that took place on 25 January 2011", and that continued revolution was needed until "we stop producing tyrants."
I think Egypt is going to be juuuust fine.
The Egyptians have done more in 4 days to combat Islamofascist terrorism than Obama has done in 4 years.
The Speaker of the House (John Boehner) is 3rd in line to the presidency - after the president and vice president. Doesn't this give you the warm and fuzzies?/s
He's one of the RINO's I was referring to. He'd be half a tad better than Romney would have been.
Palin, Newt, someone of that caliber would fill the ticket.
I'm not sure about Newt. He has so much baggage and is in favor of climate change. I can't get that picture out of my mind where he is sitting with Nancy Piglosi. But, he'd still be better than what we now have in the WH.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Fun in the SunIn full: First time running 11k and certainly off-road. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. The second hill was a bit of a killer but after getting up it it was pretty flat after that. Amazing well organised and I'd definately do it again.Date of review: April 29, 2013
In short: first half marathon and a 5 min walk homeIn full: Well this was my first half marathon and it was good fun. Good route, lots of support and only 1 or 2 hills lol. The one at the end was just to much!! Great organisation and directions were easy to follow. If I'm mad enough to consider a half marathon again I'll defo do this oneDate of review: March 17, 2013
In short: Fun and Flat for 10 milesIn full: For my first 10 mile race this was good. Organisation was as good as any other race i've done - lots of marshalls and spectators cheering you on. The wind in the last couple of miles wasn't fun but that's hardly the organisers fault!! Good views around the island and really flat. Nice medalDate of review: November 26, 2012
In short: Definite PB PotentialIn full: As I live in Fleet this was a race I had to do. As I run some of these roads I had a rough idea of how the route would be - although it was harder on the 2nd lap. I managed to get a PB by about 2 minutes which wag great - shame about throwing up as I crossed the line. Great organisation and marshals made it all run wellDate of review: October 28, 2012
In short: Fun in the sense of pain and hardworkIn full: For a first time event this went well as far as I could tell. I had lots of communication prior to the event talking about the conditions etc. I found the course to be challenging the uphill trails were steep and with the rain of previous days by the end, some of them had to be walked (or perhaps I was just knackered...) Don't really think there was much pb potential as some of the trails were quite narrow so hard to overtake if you wanted to. I did it in about 62 minutes which is about 5 mins slower than other 10k races i've done but it was good fun and i'd consider doing it again - definitely if they did a summer version when the trails may a bit firmer!!Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Uphill madnessIn full: 1st time doing the Butser Hill Challenge, completed in about 64 minutes, didn't run as much a I'd hoped for. About half way up first climb I realised quite how unprepared I was!! Lol. However really enjoyed the challenge, weather was amazing rain, hail, strong wind and mist on top of hill - soaked to the skin by the end. Chatted to a few people on the run and seemed good cameradery for all runners. Already thinking about coming back next year. It was so wet though that the starters gun misfired twice..Date of review: September 23, 2012
In short: Well organised and good fun with friendly runnersIn full: This was my 2nd ever 10k run and I wanted to do a flatter run after having done the Marwell 10k as my first race. It was great fun, the hill towards the end was "fun" but the rest of the race I really enjoyed, did a new pb by 1 min 20 seconds!!Date of review: July 16, 2012

About the Author: Russell Brooks serves as an Information Officer for the U.S. Department of State Bureau of African Affairs.
Following a two-week visit to Africa that encompassed the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa and visits to Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria, Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Johnnie Carson briefed journalists at the Washington Foreign Press Center on Wednesday, February 24 (http://fpc.state.gov/137225.htm). Journalists from the African continent also participated via satellite from the Regional Media Hub in South Africa.
The top news of the day was President Yar'Adua's sudden return home to Nigeria. The President of Nigeria had spent months in Saudi Arabia where he was receiving medical treatment. His return was the cause of much speculation both in Nigeria and internationally. Assistant Secretary Carson read a brief statement in which he welcomed home President Yar'Adua and wished him good health. Carson noted that "Nigeria needs a strong, healthy, and effective leader to ensure the stability of the country and to manage Nigeria's many political, economic, and security challenges." Responding to the suggestions that President Yar'Adua's return was connected to the elevation of Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to Acting President, the Assistant Secretary said "we hope that President Yar'Adua's return … is not an effort by his senior advisors to upset Nigeria's stability and create renewed uncertainty in the democratic process. Nigeria is an extraordinarily important country to its friends and partners, and all of those in positions of responsibility should put the health of the President and the best interests of the country and the people of Nigeria above personal ambition or gain."
In addition to the political situation in Nigeria, Assistant Secretary Carson responded to questions about the security at the World Cup, upcoming elections in Ethiopia, the political reform process in Kenya, and recent events in both Cote d'Ivoire and Niger. Carson said the ouster of President Tandja was a military coup and called upon the Nigerien military to set a date for elections and swiftly return the country to constitutional, democratic rule. With regard to Cote d' Ivoire, the Assistant Secretary said the parties must return to the Ouagadougou Accords, settle their disagreements over the electoral commission which set off the current crisis, and promptly move toward elections.
Published reports that the U.S. was "politicizing" the distribution of humanitarian food aid in Somalia were raised by one reporter. Carson strongly asserted that the U.S. continues to be the largest provider of humanitarian food assistance to the people of Somalia and it is the actions of violent extremists such as the group al-Shabaab that have impeded the distribution of much needed food assistance in southern Somalia.
Questions relating to the al-Qaeda offshoot, al-Qaeda in the Maghreb, and the Chinese role in Africa capped-off the briefing. Ambassador Carson called on the African states of Algeria, Mali, and Mauritania to increase their cooperation in order to effectively meet the common threat posed by AQIM. With regard to the Chinese, he noted their interest in Africa as a source of natural resources as well as an expanding market for their products. However, Carson placed the responsibility upon African governments to "carefully and responsibly" manage their affairs with the Chinese.

Hi Russell,
In regards to this;
"Published reports that the U.S. was "politicizing†the distribution of humanitarian food aid in Somalia were raised by one reporter."
If the archived comments were actually readable, you might get an interesting perspective from the conversation some of us were having last week.
Instead, one has to left-click, hold and drag a box to highlight those comments in order to know there's some public debate on the matter.
You are an information officer so perhaps you can recomend Dipnote use a lighter background in the archives to make the text actually visable to the naked eye?
Then send the link to that unnamed reporter with my best regards if you would please (chuckle), 'cause I'd like to offer him/her "continuing education" beyond the one Mr. Carson offered.
What about trying to save lives do people not understand, eh?
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Would it be possible to officially invite Mr. Bowden to a public debate on Dipnote? I think he could stand to be nuked by logic. (chuckle).
"But Mark Bowden, the United Nations official in charge of humanitarian operations in Somalia, said the accusations of aid diversions to the Shabab were "ungrounded.â€
"What we are seeing is a politicization of humanitarian issues,†he said, adding that when he recently went to Washington to discuss the matter with American aid officials, "the comment we met was, 'This is beyond our pay grade.' â€"
-By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN
Published: February 17, 2010
New York Times
"UN agencies, however, have not seen any evidence from the U.S. government that the aid is being diverted to the group, which is fighting the UN-backed Somali government, said Mark Bowden, the UN's humanitarian co-ordinator for Somalia.
"The problem seems to be that it has escalated to a higher political level," Bowden said. "And our concern is that … what we're seeing is a politicization of humanitarian issues.""

It's not really the reporter's fault that his editors make assumptions based on quotes that the UN actually is neutral about all of this.
If I were to speculate on "pay grade", my guess is a smart desk officer decided that it was a question best answered by senior officials.
But gosh! It just makes this citizen just want to wade into this fray with vebal guns blazing, and nuke smallmindedness at the UN level back to the stone age!
I don't want that UN man's head on a platter.
I want his job, because I can do better than make poor excuse any day of the week.
I hope folks will take this under consideration.

Regarding the political environment in Abidjan you're right by saying that the election is taking a very long detour however some "leaders" are very determinant for their own political ambitious. We want to move up but we have to be careful. Some of them are corrupts and they will do everything to take power. Can u assist the current government to build a strong transparency election and let the people of Cote d'Ivoire to decide for their future,thanks

120,000 Btus is only used for top of the range ovens, it will increase my gas bill, also if I add a top burner later, it may be too much.........so I'm thinking of using 80,000 to 100,000 to start. Can always increase the Btus later by increasing the port and orifice sizes.
Richard, it really depends on how much surface area your hearth would have, but if you shortchange the BTUs too much, you will jeopardize your short bake times.
how the %^&(* do the Burmese afford to eat, or understand pizza!?
sqid,Oven was delayed a week from mfgr, supposedly can pick it up Saturday. Thereafter I should be baking my heart out and practicing all the tips and different styles I found on this forum. I have made a LBE which looks like it should work, but having a darn time finding a round ceramic tile as the small square ones seem to sag the metal grade slightly. Still looking for a peel but think I found one or two overpriced thai websites to order from. Ordered the overpriced food cart which is supposed to be ready by end of month. Some of the locals say positive things about 'falang' pizza and mention that the ketchup+mayo+wonderbread+sliced hotdog pizza (ahem) from Tesco tastes like %$#. Perhaps there's hope for them Burma (Pama as the locals pronounce it and sneer) sounds quite interesting and I certainly hope they decide to open up to free markets and personal freedoms. They don't have anywhere to go but up so it would seem from reading the news. Some day a fun conversation over a beer.glennb6
reply to self:After a few arguments with the LBE after a few slightly charred spots and being unable to convince the local test subjects that even slight browning is fully legit on the bottom, I hear they said burnt in Thai to my wife. She pestered me about same so I relented to try a softer crust. I got an round aluminum baking tray, dusted well with flour and layed out the pie in it. It was placed on the new tile piece on the LBE and I let it crank. FYI, I bought a smooth white ceramic tile, cut it to shape and have tried to get it to emit harmful stuff under heat. So far it's holding up fine and gives me no worries whatsoever. As for the pie cooked in the round tray on in the LBE, amazingly good. No burning or charring on the bottom, crust was not leoparded on top but had puffed up well and had a distinct light crunch. Inside was tender and soft with plenty of void. Bacon and mozzarella. The test subjects all gave big thumbs up and I am extremely pleased.So, baking tray on pizza stone or tile in the LBE is a 100% go!Food cart is supposed to be finished in a couple days and I look forward to seeing how the indigenous heathens react to real pizza for money.glennb6
Don,As that this specific thread is between about 3-4 people now, one being in a neighboring country to where I live and share common cultural amusements with, and are also discussing baking pies, ie LBE and how to make a little money making pies, to jump in with 'comments and suggestions to GTFO and make a new thread' is a bit too thread nazi-like to me. This is a very informative site and forum and it's not mine, so I'll bow out and just read sometimes and leave the thead-nazi control to the mods,later

February 28, 2014, Yukon, Canada - The Standing Committee of Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region (SCPAR) gathered in Ottawa recently to discuss shipping, economic development, and the health and well-being of Arctic residents as they prepare for a major conference this September in Whitehorse, Yukon.
GRID-Arendal's Tiina Kurvits and John Crump participated in the meeting, part of the organization's long-standing relationship with the elected members of parliaments from the eight countries that form the Arctic Council. Lars Kullerud, head of the University of the Arctic, also attended the meeting.
Canada is approaching the midway point of its two-year term chairing the Arctic Council. That country's Minister of Environment, Leona Aglukaaq, updated the parliamentarians on the status of the Arctic Council work programme. Officials from the Canadian government discussed shipping and the Northwest Passage, which Canada claims as inland waters. Others outlined work that is going on to deal with long-term health and well-being issues in the Arctic, as well as options for economic development beyond resource extraction.
The University of the Arctic gave a presentation on the need to support northern innovation to create vibrant economies in the 21st Century.

A collection of stories from individuals with disabilities, families, friends, and disability service providers in Tennessee
Showing stories 1 - 7 of 7
Results related to: Down syndrome / Student interview of parent / Education
"Sharmane's IQ cannot predict how much she has been able to achieve and learn."
"So while the parent is looking at the individual the government is more concerned about how to pair down the costs.
"If it doesn't seem right, I don't care who's telling you, if it's not right, you make it right. You have to make it work. You do whatever you need to do. You need to always understand what your rights are and what your child's rights are, or else you may
get short changed."
"I wish there was more research on what happens to individuals with a disability once they become adults. It is not very clear what is to be expected after their twenties, and this lack of clarity leaves many families in the dark and scared for their child's
"If there won't be an accurate score, then why should he take an IQ test? We didn't want a number on the front of his Individualized Education Program (IEP) plan.* We want someone to flip the page and read all about him and not just assume what their expectations
should be based on that number."
"I think there are a large number of parents out there with kids with disabilities who are unaware of the services out there."
"There is a deficiency of well-trained special education teachers and general education teachers should be more knowledgeable about disabilities as well."

One problem is the inability to see how our individual decisions will solve a problem created by millions of individuals.concerning global warming, such as people's decisions to give up their SUVs, weatherize their houses, or support tougher environmental legislation. This research has moved beyond the old theory of rational action that predicted we would make logical changes in our behavior if we were given the right information about a problem.
Research suggests that getting action on climate change will require more than dire stories in the media.information from friends or family, and more likely to believe the television weatherman, acquaintances, and religious figures when it comes to climate change. Only 7 percent, "the Dismissive," flatly disbelieve in human-induced climate change and actively work against global warming measures. This group reads newspapers at half the national average and gets its news from commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly.
Politicians have been needlessly timid in calling for public sacrifices to slow global warming.global warming. For example, rather than make a case to Americans for tough action — including a modest carbon tax — Congress seems intent on watering down carbon cap-and-trade legislation to make it "politically palatable," he says. And despite a desperate need in many states for revenue, "they won't use the 'T' word" and raise gasoline taxes that would generate funds and cut driving, Rabe notes.
The message has to come clearly from a source who has moral authority.suggests, for example, creating the energy equivalent of the agricultural extension service, which could advise consumers and businesses on practical ways to save energy, just as the agriculture service advises farmers on the best way to grow crops. Putting a price on the carbon consequences of our choices also makes those decisions much clearer, he says.

The Creators Project: What was your first foray into industrial design?
Li Hui: I'd learned arts since I was in the elementary school. I like to draw. When I was in senior high school, I attended fashion design school. In college I decided to change my field and chose sculpture as my major. The process of learning art was not really going well at that time, but I was still fulfilling my dream.
Why did you change from fashion design to sculpture?
Actually I wasn't interested in fashion designing at the beginning. I guessed maybe it was about the way the professor who gave us the lectures—I wasn't interested in what he taught. Besides, in that class there were only three boys, but there were 33 students. I wasn't comfortable with that percentage. Actually it was pretty hard to get admission to China Central Academy of Fine Arts—it took me three years to get it.
So really this has been a lifelong pursuit. When I was a child, I liked to create things with my hands. And even after growing up, nothing has really changed. I'm still creating things with my hands. I think the whole process of doing sculpture is my way of carrying out my dream. No matter what we are going to express, the whole process is most important.
Do you have any interest at this point in venturing outside of sculpture?
Not really. I'm still trying to get to know sculpture more. I think of sculpture in the abstract. During college I experienced sculpture in more and more different ways, and I'm still experiencing what sculpture is. Another thing for me is that I changed my design style after graduating from college. I used to do it in a more academic way, but right now I am doing it in modern style.
Was college a fruitful time for you?
Actually when I was in college, I produced work that I was satisfied with every year. Those works were made after class.
What did you do after graduating college?
I was lucky to get into this industry immediately. The first goal was having my own studio, and later I had one. I attended lots of exhibitions, met lots of friends, and made a lot of business connections that way.
Can you tell us a bit about your interest in cars?
When I was first modifying a car it helped me search what I want to do in my following works. The name of that car was Double-headed Car. The concept was when you were driving this car, people couldn't tell if it was moving forward or backward. I realized that there was something more exciting than mechanics: innovation.
How did you bring technical parts into your works? Have you ever encountered some difficulties?
No, not at all. In my opinion, I believed that nothing is impossible. Many people asked me how I overcome technical problems such as materials and physics, but I just do it. When I encounter problems, I try to use different way to solve them. If you know what you want, nothing will bring you down. That is the faith that drives me.
Can you tell us a bit about the evolution of your work?
Later when I involved different design elements, I had a chance to know different of materials, such as laser. Laser is like a subject, but you can not touch it. I think that is the reason it attracts me. I can be inspired by materials—most of the time I design based on the inspiration brought by materials.
How do choose materials?
I think I'm sensitive to materials. Like painters are sensitive to colors. Those are our instincts. But every artist has different thoughts about the same material.
How does technology influence your work? Would you consider your work high-tech?
I always think my work in a futuristic way—I avoid the methods that people have already used. But I don't want myself to become a high-tech artist. I just use the technology that I can create myself and I try to make my work look futuristic. That is my aesthetic.

Good product

I have ordered the product twice. Quality is good, there not remains a fishy odor. Take it with Q10. I do not eat meat and this product I work very well - to feel more vibrant. I recommend it to colleagues.
Great Product

I reluctantly switched to Super EPA from a GNC fish oil product, and let me tell you how happy I am for doing so. There is absolutely no fish aftertaste with this product and it does not cause any upset to my very sensitive stomach. Both my husband and I take these, and we have each noticed an improvement in our skin and I have noticed an improvement in my nails. This is a great product!

I would say this product is excellent and cheap and the dosage is probably enough for most of us. It is pretty high in EPA and DHA compared to other brands out there. The one bad thing about it is that there isn't an oxygen absorber in it to absorb the moisture.

text: Admin on April 19, 2013 0 Comments One of my favorite beers is Delirium Tremens, a blonde Belgian style trippel, offered up by the Huyghe Brewery in Belgium. This beer first came into production in 1989 and has since won numerous accolades worldwide for its complex taste that has been proven to please the palates of many beer drinkers. Delirium Tremens is the brewery's best known beer and one of four beers in the Delirium line up all branded with the signature pink elephant. A strong brew coming in at 8.5% ABV, this one is not for the faint of heart as one might tell from the tongue-in-cheek name referring to the shakes caused by alcohol withdrawal. Some may be intrigued by the unique label on the bottle illustrating colorful whimsical crocodiles and dragons attacked by a row of Hitchcock's birds meant to symbolize a state of delirium; the masses agree that they love this beer. Though, it is hard to come to a consensus on what exactly makes up its taste profile. As you pour the beer into a glass you will notice the pale blonde coloring and dense white foam head that dissipates slowly. Upon tasting, I recognized coriander and orange that give it a light, fruity flavor profile. I also noticed the beer is very carbonated with a creamy complexity stemming from the multiple yeasts used in the brewing process. Just when you think you have the flavor figured out, the profile shifts into a dry, bitter, lingering finish. This is a beer that really develops on the palate, from front to back, which makes it an ideal beer for laid back slow drinking. You definitely want to discover and enjoy each and every nuance and intricacy in Delirium Tremens. Save the chugging for the light macro brew and enjoy Delirium Tremens at a leisurely pace with friends. Delirium Tremens is a great beer choice year round. The light, crisp, carbonated elements of the beer would make it a great choice for a summer evening on the patio. While the strong alcohol content and its yeasty, dry, bitter finish make it an ideal beer to serve up alongside a bowl of chili in the cold winter months. Let us know what you think of Delirium Tremens and cheers to good health!

Candy Memories
I remember as a kid in the late 60's early 70's I would go to Walgreen's drug store with my grandmother and my brother. My grandmother would always let us pick out whatever candy we wanted. My brother and I would always pick out the rock candy on a string that they sold there at the store. I'm glad to see that someone still sells it and I think I will start to get it for my grandchildren. Sue from Wisconsin

Purest form of candy
This is the first candy I had as a child, so it's kind of nostalgic, but I still love it! It's nice to just get something pure without a lot of ingredients, too. This is a good quality product, not too many "crumbs" in the box, either.

Huskies sweep Beavers in baseball
MINNETONKA, Minn. – The Minot State University baseball team dropped its sixth straight game with a doubleheader sweep at No. 4 St. Cloud State on Sunday.
The Beavers (8-10 overall, 0-4 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference) gave the only nationally ranked team in the NSIC all it could handle. The Huskies (19-2, 8-0) eked by with a 1-0 win in game one and broke a tie in the eighth inning of game two for a 4-2 win.
MSU senior pitcher Cole Stober pitched well in game one, giving up just five hits in five innings with five strikeouts. SCSU needed just one run and Travis Cariveau hit an RBI double in the fourth inning.
In game two, the score was tied 2-2 heading into the bottom of the eighth inning. MSU senior Jordan Gilmour singled to score junior Sean Arbaut. The tie was brief as Sean Borman hit a two-run home run off sophomore reliever Zane Sawyer in the bottom of the inning. SCSU closer Reese Gregory retired the next three batters, including the final two on strikeouts.
Gilmour finished the day 3-for-8 with an RBI and run scored. MSU junior Alex Fornshell was 3-for-3 in the second game and 4-for-6 on the day.
The teams meet in another doubleheader beginning at 9 a.m. today.

There are two kinds of tags...
* Next version base tags, which have an "r" suffix. Example, "1.8.0r". "2.2.0r".
* Final, shipped release tags. Example, "1.8.0". "2.2.0".
h1. Applying the Tags
How and when do we use those kinds of tags?
Let's follow an example, where we're working towards shipping 1.8.0, 2.2.0, then we ship 1.8.0, 2.2.0, and then we start working on the next release of 1.8.1... 2.2.1...
# When we start working on a new release like 1.8.0, 2.2.0, across its relevant components, we tag one of its commits (ideally, the first new commit meant for 1.8.0) 2.2.0) with a next version base tag. In this case, we tag with "1.8.0r". "2.2.0r".
#* If there's no commits yet for a component for 1.8.0, 2.2.0, perhaps because the component is rather stable and slowly changing, we can choose to either make a trivial change/commit, or just not tag the component with "1.8.0r" "2.2.0r" until later.
# Builds during the development cycle will look like 1.8.0r-57-g238485a. 2.2.0r-57-g238485a. That is, "$(TAG)-$(GIT_CHANGE_NUM)-$(GIT_UNIQUE_HASH)".
#* The GIT_CHANGE_NUM increments with each build.
#* The GIT_UNIQUE_HASH uniquely identifies the build.
#* The GIT_UNIQUE_HASH uniquely identifies the build.
# We eventually release and ship the final, blessed version, such as 1.8.0r-117-g43211234. 2.2.0r-117-g43211234.
# *After* shipping, we tag 1.8.0's 2.2.0's relevant components with the final, shipped release tag of "1.8.0" "2.2.0" for the historical record.
# Next, we start working towards shipping 1.8.1 2.2.1 and repeat the cycle.
#* That is, new commits meant for 1.8.1 2.2.1 are created by developers and submitted.
#* We tag one of those new commits meant for 1.8.1 2.2.1 with a next version base tag. In this case, "1.8.1r". "2.2.1r".
h1. Use Annotated Tags
Taggers, be sure to use annotated tags (the \-a flag when creating a git tag). For example...
git tag -a 1.8.0 -m 1.8.0
git tag -a 2.2.0 -m 2.2.0
git push --tags origin

One Killed In Route 60 Bus Crash
Thank You To All Who Made Benefit A Success
To The Reader's Forum:
We want to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who was involved in making the benefit for our daughter, Sydney, on Saturday, January 19, a huge success. First, thank you to Dusten and The Post-Journal for writing such a wonderful article on our family to announce the benefit to the local community. Thank you to our friend and coworker Michelle Johnson and the Falconer FBLA for the idea to host the benefit, and for organizing everything. All your hard work was most appreciated and definitely paid off! To our friends, coworkers, and students at Falconer Central, a huge thank you for the donations, working, set up, clean up, and assisting with anything that was needed. Your help and support not only that day, but every day, over these last months has meant more to us than you will ever know.
A special thank you goes out to all the community businesses,organizations, groups and individuals who donated to the benefit. The amount of baskets, gift certificates, and raffle prizes that were collected was incredible. Thanks to the Junior Guilders, Disturbing the Peace, and Headbangers Ball for the wonderful entertainment, and the Frewsburg Fire Dept. for the discounted hall rental.
Also, thank you to David Bollman LSS and Morrison Management for the food preparation, Jim Roach and Falconer Printing for the donation of the flyers, and Randy Marsh and the Jamestown Jock Shop.
It was truly a wonderful day for Sydney and our family. Even though she was only able to stay at the benefit for a couple hours, while she was there she saw how many people were there to support her. It was genuinely overwhelming. Saying thank you just doesn't seem like enough. We are truly blessed to be living in such a caring, generous community.
Keith, Leslie, and Sydney Kresconko

Same-sex couples wed in NJ following equality march in Pa.
PHILLIPSBURG, N.J. - Three couples are celebrating marriages after a ceremony Thursday night. The couples are from Pennsylvania but had to go to New Jersey to get legally married.
The night started with a rally in Easton, Pa., with supporters who would like to see marriage equality in Pennsylvania.
"Just this week, Illinois passed marriage equality, Hawaii is on the verge of passing marriage equality, New Jersey recently passed marriage equality and we're hoping for a win here in Pennsylvania," said Adrian Shanker, president of Equality Pennsylvania.
"You can see it from right here, you can see New Jersey," Shanker told the group during the rally.
After several people spoke, the group made the short walk across the bridge to "bridge the gap" so three same-sex couples could get legally married in New Jersey.
Legislation to repeal Pennsylvania's Defense of Marriage Act was introduced in September and has been in the judiciary committee. Not everyone supports the idea.
"As far as I can see, there's no bipartisan support to change Pennsylvania's Defense of Marriage Act," said Pa. Rep. Mark Gillen, R-Berks Co. "This legislature is not going to embrace nor pass something that tears at the bedrock of our culture and that is traditional marriage."
The three same-sex marriages were performed Thursday night in New Jersey in front of the group. There were cheering and celebration.
"When they come back across that bridge they will have access to numerous federal benefits and no state benefits here in Pennsylvania and that's wrong, and that's why we're marching and fighting today," said Shanker.
"We really would have preferred to be married in Pennsylvania, the state where we work, pay taxes, own two homes," said William Mauro, one of the people to get married.
"We had our marriage where we committed to each other nine and half years ago. This is the opportunity for me to feel like I'm giving my family security," said Maryann Kelley, another person to get married.
"It's pretty exciting," said Jerry Schmidt, who also got married at the ceremony Thursday. "We've been a couple for almost 26 years. We had a civil union in Vermont in 2000, so it's kind of like doing this again, but unfortunately we have to do it again."
On the national level, the U.S. Senate approved a bill Thursday that would outlaw discrimination against gay, bisexual and transgender people in the workplace, but it faces an uphill battle in the House.

Our rebroadcast of "Play, Spirit, and Character" allows me a natural entry point into sharing the incredible and unforeseen paths this program has taken over the past year. It also reminds me how important it is to get out, attend events, and experience what other people are imbibing. Doing this is one of the best ways of finding interesting program topics that are truly relevant in one's daily life.
Over the past year, this program has resulted in a strange and wonderful lifecycle, which I'll quickly recount with bullet points:
- I attend the 2007 PUSH Conference at the Walker Art Center and hear Stuart Brown speak, then
- Hearing the audience response to Stuart Brown's presentation, I recount my experience while speaking with Krista and the staff. Krista says book him, then
- Krista interviews Dr. Brown. The conversation takes a rather serious tone to begin and rather dark by discussing mass murderers. We question whether it would make an interesting hour of radio since the conversation lacked the levity and playfulness we expected when thinking about a show on play, then
- Mitch collects compelling audio of kids swimming, dogs frolicking, and immigrants playing softball that illustrate points made. A show is produced, then
- I contact National Geographic photographer Norbert Rosing and pair his images with Stuart Brown's talk to produce a brief narrated slide show. Digg.com and other social sites pick up "Animals at Play" resulting in more than three million views on speakingoffaith.org and 125,000 views on YouTube and Vimeo, then
- We partner with USC's Annenberg School of Communications and the News21 Initiative to present a student's production of young adults swinging on the rings in Santa Monica, then
- I get a call from a documentary producer at the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) asking about the popularity of the polar bear/sled dog video for their documentary on polar bear fever, then
- Photographer Norbert Rosing phones to tell me the traffic to his site has more than tripled and that he's moved his polar bear photography books and photos to the home page because they are selling so quickly, then
- An editor from a London tabloid paper e-mails asking for the original scans of the polar bear/sled dog images for a feature piece, then
- Paul Holdengraber from the New York Public Library on 42nd Street invites Krista and Stuart Brown to be part of their NYPL Live! series. The evening results in a sold-out house, then
- The following week The New York Times Magazine's cover features an in-depth piece, "Taking Play Seriously," keying off of the event and Stuart Brown.
I attended an "ideas" conference with the thought that I would learn a little something new and meet a few people in the process; I had no intention of doing research for future SOF shows. That is, until I heard gasps of awe from the crowd during Stuart Brown's presentation of polar bears and sled dogs playing in the wilds of Canada, and passionate discussion about raising kids with a sense of play and bringing that same sense of lightheartedness to work.
The journalist in me kicked in; I'm supposed to act on behalf of you, of those who can't attend such events and share that information. Some of my colleagues were skeptical about the conference. They professed that the connection of ideas was nothing new or groundbreaking — but that wasn't the point.
We work in a rich media environment in which we're constantly bumping into other areas of discipline and making those connections. I get the privilege of actually sitting next to folks who work on documentaries, epicureans who write cookbooks and produce wonderful food shows, classical musicians and new media gurus, investigative journalists, and so on. Oh, and MPR brings in fabulous speakers like critic Terry Teachout, former CNN anchor Aaron Brown, classical musicians Trio Medieaval, and Ray Suarez to speak to us when they're in town.
Most people don't experience this panoply of big ideas on a daily basis; they work in very specialized industries making the numbers work and the products better. They may love their jobs, but they thirst for greater understanding and to simply play at the idea of an interconnected world of seemingly disparate ideas. I believe we did that with this show, and it makes me proud.

- ASAP Requests: Here is information for LWPs who may have questions regarding when to use the Department's ASAP form for computers and network access. You need to send an ASAP form when a staff member needs access to a Department application, e.g. WIC HANDS, MOHSAIC or Vital Records that needs a user ID and password. You also need to do an ASAP when a staff member needs access to LPHA email or DHSS dialup service. You do not need to send an ASAP form if you are receiving new computer equipment or need to have software loaded, for example, Blue Zone to use HANDS. If you have questions on how to do the ASAP form or when it is needed, contact the ITSD Help Desk at email@example.com or 1-800-347-0887.
- Nutrition Education HANDS changes – Reminder: This is a reminder that the changes in HANDS concerning the nutrition education codes converting to the new alpha letter character code and the changes to the HWNE screen to key the new codes will go into HANDS Monday, 9/25/06. The HWHN screen can no longer be used beginning Monday, 9/25/06. Please refer to the WIC Updates the week of September 12, 2006 for complete instructions about keying the revised HWNE screen and contact information. Please contact Melissa Seaver at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1-800-392-8209 if you have questions.
- HANDS Training Dates: Due to the cancellation and rescheduling of the November 2006 HANDS training and participants, there are no openings for HANDS training until 2007. The dates available for the first 6 months of 2007 are:
January 31 - February 2, 2007
February 21-23, 2007
March 21-23, 2007
June 20-22, 2007

Please feel free to make copies as needed. The Farsi version should be available by September 25, 2006. The Spanish version is being printed at the State Printing Center. If you have any questions, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Formula and Medical Foods Reference Sheet: In August we emailed to the LWPs the Missouri WIC Program WIC Approved Formula and Food Reference Materials, effective August 1, 2006. On page four, Section 2.2 of the document there was an incorrect fax number. The correct fax number to use to fax the WIC 29's to the State WIC office is 573-526-1470. We have attached this document with the correct fax number. We apologize for any inconvenience that has caused you. If questions you have any questions, contact Takako Tagami at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Microcuvettes Delivered September 18-20, 2006: Local WIC Providers should receive their Microcuvette order from HemoCue during the week of September 18-22, 2006. Upon receiving your shipment of microcuvettes from HemoCue, please complete the attached memo and email the entire sheet by September 29, 2006 to email@example.com. If you have not received your Microcuvettes by Monday, September 25, please contact Crystal Collins at 573-751-6204 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- VENA Self-Evaluation Questionnaire (Due October 15): Attached is a questionnaire that we are asking the Nutrition Coordinator or designee to complete. We are also requesting the WIC Administrator to complete the same questionnaire. As you heard in Program Updates in August, in preparing for Value Enhanced Nutrition Assessment, USDA is requesting the State WIC office to do a thorough self assessment of our current WIC processes and practices; staff competencies and training; policies; management information system; and quality assurance/self monitoring. The questionnaire is somewhat lengthy, however, for us to enhance our current WIC nutrition assessment process, it is necessary to see where we are currently.
This is an opportunity for the LWPs to let us know how we can enhance the nutrition assessment process, what training is needed, what challenges you have in your agency, etc. and what the State Office should address to enhance our nutrition assessment process. Our hope is that you feel open to answering the questionnaire honestly even if the answer you provide is not what is stated in WOM policy. If you have any questions, please contact Phyllis Fuller at email@example.com.
Thank you for completing this questionnaire.

Strategy: Securing The Data Warehouse
It is easy to dismiss data warehouse security. After all, it is probably more tempting to focus first and foremost on the customer-facing applications in an enterprise. But attackers care about corporate data, making any place it is stored a potential target. Fortunately, many of the basic strategies employed by enterprises to protect their databases can be ported over to the data warehouse. Strong access controls based on roles is a key element of securing enterprise data warehouses.
For those concerned about internal security, it is recommended that those access controls go beyond the BI layer of the reporting tool and down to the data warehouse itself. But any sound security strategy will have to start with identifying the data that will be loaded into the target data warehouse and classifying it according to its sensitivity.
It is important to remember, too, that—as always—security is not a static state but an ongoing process. It does not stop when your data warehouse project is completed. Organizations need to continually audit and monitor security policies and data usage to ensure that both the security and business requirements of the organization are being met. With proper planning and configuration, organizations can strike the right balance between security and the ultimate goal of data warehousing projects—sharing information so that it can be leveraged to provide value to the organization.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (169 votes).
In short: Not a bad run but could do with a few more runners and supportersIn full: I thought that the run was very scenic and had I not been running would have loved to have taken a picture as we crossed over the forth bridge. I felt very good for the first 10 miles/16k but then there was a long incline to get up and my legs starting to go a little the last 10k were challenging and I was very pleased to have finished. This is the longest run I've done to date - I'm already signed up for the one in London to see if I can better my time! Date of review: May 2, 2011
In short: I enjoyed it especially for the scenery/route but they need to sort some stuff outIn full: I really enjoyed this, never done a Kilomathon before so was a bit apprehensive, but this was more than made up for with the lovely route. I'm confused by the person who said it was better in Derby or Nottingham - surely if that's the case they should have entered the English race and not Kilomathon SCOTLAND!!! And I do wish people would stop moaning about T shirts and goody bags - surely neither is a major issue, not why we run. Yes indeed organisation was a bit iffy. Ingliston is not the easiest place to get to/from unless you were going back into Edinburgh on the shuttle buses and many of us were not. Toilets too - not nearly enough at the start - what's more the portaloos I went to had no water! Apart from that, I had a lovely morning, over the Forth bridge and back, raised a good sum for charity and will probably do it again if they can get the organisation sorted out.Date of review: April 18, 2011
In short: too exspensiveIn full: This was a really dis-appointing race .Really exspensive ,not enough toilets ,bad transport to start .NEVER AGAINDate of review: April 10, 2011
In short: Very nice race, better than last year.In full: Difficult to compare this one to last years as the route was completely different. This run was by far a whole lot better and with a bit of luck will be kept for next year. I found the organisation very good with few complaints. Perhaps a few more toilets at start but being a bloke got fast tracked to the gents only urinals jumping the queue. A bit on the pricy side but if route stays the same then I'll be back. Managed to take 32 minutes of my time so very happy.....Date of review: March 23, 2011
In full: what a shame this race was nothing like last years, no atmosphere at the start,its a good job the entries were low with only 20 toilets with long queues, loads of blokes using the woods, not very nice for the people who live in the area,i did like the route though, and the marshals and supporters were very good, i thought the t shirt and goody bag were very dissapointing and the entry price obviously put loads of people off, the organisers need to put these issues right to keep this race in the calendarDate of review: March 22, 2011
In full: 2nd year doing this and i would say i wish i hadn't bothered, marshalls were excellent and water stops were good although energy drinks were a joke no wonder the amount of runners had dropped from 4000+ finishers last year to just 950 this. last years route was much better, made it more interesting to say you'd run from nottingham to derby Date of review: March 22, 2011
In short: Good marathon preparation and friendly participantsIn full: The race itself ran very smoothly but the buses at the start ran very late with our bus leaving just after 8. Had a big que for the loos and only made the start line with 3mins to spare despite turning into the car park at 0710.Travel arranegemnts aside the route itself was better than last year and the stadium finish a good touch.Would i do it again? Maybe, but only as marathon prep not as a stand alone race.Date of review: March 22, 2011
In short: All went like clockwork for meIn full: Apart from the cost which would put me off entering again the event went like clockwork for me. Found the car park easy enough, (and I don't live in the area) was directed in and the bus arrived within 5 mins of me joining the Q at 7.30am. Bit basic at the start but all very clear where to go and enough people to ask if you couldn't work out that your number colour related to the pen colour code! There are never enough loos at a start but there were plenty round the course at every water station. Cheery marshalls, plenty of well manned water stations with small bottles of water and cups of energy drink. Very clear KM markers and good finish area. Date of review: March 22, 2011
In short: Badly organised and expensiveIn full: As most of the reviews have said, this was a blooming expensive race and a lot poorer than last year. The start was really badly organised, with the buses very late and no signs to car parking, nor anyone directing to spaces. Once at the start there weren't enough toilets and nothing to tell us (or nobody to show us) to the pens. Brilliant marshalls on the course- which was very lonely at times on those country lanes. With reduced numbers on last year (I think down to 25%) we spread out a lot and it was a lonely time!Great finish and commentator calling your number in. I do know someone that did the half kilomathon that had to walk from the drop-off point (back where the buses picked us up) to the stadium for a final lap- WHY? That was a terrible finish to the half.Date of review: March 22, 2011
In short: Great challenge for those who don't want to do full marathon!In full: Loved the race itself, great challenge for those of us who have no desire to do a full marathon. Went out of town in pretty lanes and villages, though Derby itself not exactly scenic! However, the car parking and bus transfer were disastrous - standing freezing for 45 minutes waiting for busses. No signs to parking. I understand it was better last year so maybe just a one off.Date of review: March 22, 2011

Last week, I met 17 dynamic women leaders from across the Western Hemisphere, while they were in the United States on the International Visitor Leadership Program "Women in Action" exchange. We discussed how increasing the active participation of women in the political and economic spheres is essential to increasing democratic stability, improving citizen security, and sustaining economic growth.
Women's political, social, and economic participation is a key ingredient to building effective and stable democracies. Investing in women entrepreneurs is smart business and one of the best ways to achieve economic, financial, and social impact. Women reinvest more of their earned income than men in the health and education of their families, increasing the human capital of their communities and creating the foundation for long-term, inclusive economic growth.
When we talk about promoting women's empowerment in the Western Hemisphere, we are talking about empowerment in all aspects of life. U.S. embassies' commemorations of Women's History Month throughout the Western Hemisphere demonstrate our commitment to women's empowerment. In March, our embassies have hosted events and activities showcasing women's contributions to sports, art, business, education, politics, science, and more to inspire and empower future women leaders.
In Honduras, the U.S. Embassy co-hosted a viewing party in honor of the 2013 International Women of Courage Award recipient Julieta Castellanos. More than 200 people attended the event that highlighted women who play leading roles in reducing corruption, strengthening democracy, reforming the justice system, and advancing social development. The U.S. Embassy in Brazil hosted "Women in Science," a six-day camp to encourage nearly 90 high school girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico held a two-day TechCamp in partnership with the National Autonomous University of Mexico to empower women through technology. In Bolivia, the U.S. Embassy held a webchat series encouraging women's entrepreneurship. In partnership with Soccer Without Borders and the Nicaraguan Soccer Federation, the U.S. Embassy in Nicaragua involved 800 Nicaraguans in soccer clinics in three cities focusing on team-building, skill-building, practice design, and coaching strategies for female soccer players and coaches.
From speaker events to photo exhibits, flash mobs to roundtable discussions, and public marches, our embassies highlighted the importance of women's empowerment across the region to get the message across: women's empowerment benefits all of society. We encourage women and girls throughout the hemisphere to follow their passions, take leadership roles, improve their societies, and mentor others in doing the same.

Railroad question delays Tupper Lake trail
TUPPER LAKE – Construction of a portion of this village's multi-use connector trail is on hold.
Before it can move forward, state Department of Transportation officials need to reach an agreement with the village concerning 1,500 feet of a railroad spur between the train station and the former Oval Wood Dish factory
The spur was once used to connect OWD to the Tupper Lake Junction, through which still passes a railroad between Utica and Lake Placid. That line, owned by the state since the 1970s, is the subject of a controversial debate and will soon see its unit management plan re-evaluated.
The Adirondack Scenic Railroad runs tourist trains between Utica and Big Moose and between Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. It hopes to connect those ends and run trains all the way through, including trains through Tupper Lake.
If that happens, the DOT would lay track on the 1,500-foot stretch – those tracks have been removed, although a portion closer to the main line still exists – so trains could turn around there. Tupper Lake village Mayor Paul Maroun said the village has ceased work on that section of trail until the issue is resolved.
"We're going to try to work out an agreement with them (DOT) where we would continue to do what we had planned for this connector trail, and if the rail comes through, we'll move the trail 10 feet," Maroun said.
The trail is part of the Tupper Lake Multi-Use Recreational Trail and Transportation Network Master Plan, unveiled in 2007. Once complete, the trail will link the Junction neighborhood with the Tupper Lake village center and The Wild Center. It will follow roads and an abandoned rail line.
Maroun said he is anxious to complete the trail and hopes the issue is resolved early next week. In the meantime, the village will continue work on other sections of the trail, including making relevant sidewalks at least 5 feet wide and making them handicap accessible at intersections.
"We've started the sidewalk portion up on Hosley, and we still have to do Pleasant," Maroun said.
On Hosley Avenue, work has been done on the sidewalk from Community Bank to L.P. Quinn Elementary School's entrance. An 8-foot-wide shoulder will serve as a walking path from the school entrance to Museum Drive.
