The Grand to Grand Ultra - Page 3
Driving a van behind her as she ran in Florida, and again later that year when he crewed for her at the Javelina Jundred, Colin began imagining the potential for a world-class, week-long ultra somewhere in the U.S. or Canada. "I figured it was time for North America to have an event like this because there's a real interest in staged races around the world," he says.
Tess's friend and fellow ultrarunner Terry Madl joined the Geddes to co-found Ultra Challenge America LLC, and the three spent much of 2011 developing a plan and scouting locations, particularly deserts.
Terry, who has run the Marathon des Sables three times along with the Badwater Ultramarathon, mentioned the Grand Staircase formation, and they began to focus on the swath of open land north of the Grand Canyon. The end result is a course whose exact route is secret—participants will find out the day before the start—but a small-scale map and description on the website reveal the general area through deserts and some forests.
The Grand to Grand Ultra is partnering with the charity impossible2Possible (i2P), which takes youth on international adventure expeditions to teach leadership and inspire positive change. i2P's founder, ultrarunner Ray Zahab, whose accomplishments include running across the Sahara for 111 days, joined the event's founders in late April to run parts of the course and see the Grand Canyon for the first time.

Research Training, Institutional Support, and Self-Efficacy: Their Impact on Research Activity of Social Workers
While the expectations for social work practitioners to do research have increased, their involvement is still limited. We know little about what factors influence involvement in research. The present study proposes a theoretical model that hypothesizes research training and institutional support for research as the exogenous variables, research self-efficacy as an intervening variable, and research activity as the endogenous variable. The study tests the model using data collected from a random sample of social workers. To a large degree the data support the model. Research self-efficacy has a significant effect on research activity. It is also an important mediating variable for the effect of institutional support on research activity. Although institutional support for research has no direct effect, it has an indirect effect via self-efficacy on research activity. However, research training has no effect on research activity and self-efficacy in research. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyGreen peafowl wander widely, but are not migratory. Females and juveniles travel in groups of two to six individuals, and do not form pair bonds or harems with males. However, when peahens (female peafowl) pass through the territory of a mature male during the breeding season, he will court them, dancing and displaying his impressive train in an upright fan-shape (5). This takes place between April and June, and results in four to six eggs which are incubated by the female for 26 to 28 days. The young green peafowl can fly within two weeks of hatching, but will remain with the adults until the next breeding season. Adults moult after breeding, and although males lose their magnificent trains, the wing feather regenerate so rapidly that they can fly throughout the moult. Associations between males, females and juveniles are not fully understood, and many breeding systems appear to exist. Although in the wild males are solitary, in captivity, green peafowl form monogamous pairs (5). Green peafowl are omnivorous, foraging for grains, seeds, insects, shoots, buds, young leaves, and fruit (5).

Best multiple
Reviewer1587798により Nov 06, 2009 に掲載
I have tried dozens of multiple vitamin-mineral supplements. Did not realize for sometime that Eclectic Institute has this muliple, with and without iron. It is one of the few companies that suggests 2 per day if you have a normal diet compared to 6 per day if you are sick or depleted or an athlete. It is a basic formula--no green foods, cultured in yeast, etc. It is vegetarian. I take 1 in the morning and 1 at night.
Very Good Multi
Reviewer1620993により Jan 05, 2013 に掲載
I researched this one carefully and found that it is likely the best multi I have ever purchased and I have tried quite a few. Only thing, I am very sensitive to Niacinamide and at two tablets a day I got an itchy reaction. I looked at the multi that I have been taking for some years, a Senior formula. Found that the amount of niacinamide was about half that found in two of the Eclectic tabs. I never had a reaction to the Senior formula. So I am now trying a month on my old multi Senior formula to see what results I get. I would highly recommend the Eclectic multi because I see all the right things in it. I am just too sensitive to niacin products apparently. UPDATE: What I found after finishing a whole bottle of this product is that IMHO it is a very excellent Multi. I still have the problem with the Niacinimide and had to limit my intake to not more than 2 tablets a day and put up with mild itching. Now I have gone back to using my Senior Multi from my local CoOp. Seems to work very well. Perhaps I will try this product again when that bottle runs out. In summary, this is probably the best multi you will ever find. Try it.
Best multi vitamin on the market
Reviewer3011775により Oct 24, 2011 に掲載
We take the full dosage of 6 a day (2 per meal). All the minerals are chelated for better absorption and it works. More energy, sleep like a log and bowels keep moving. Best part of this vitamin is that it has no token herbs and other fillers. Just vitamins and minerals. The vitamin D is a small amount, but that is okay. I prefer to get my Vitamin D from softgel that use cod liver oil. Such as Solgar vitamin A Will keep on ordering!!!!
Multi vitamin with good levels of minerals
Reviewer1319096により May 13, 2011 に掲載
I feel pretty good when I take this multi. As a breastfeeding Mum, this is the ONLY multi I've found that has adequate levels of minerals, fat soluble vitamins as well as B vitamins. A very good product for the price. Only down size is the large size of the tablets.

Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler Andre 3000
May 22, 2013
Gillette needed to resonate with younger, Ethnic men, who are less likely to be clean shaven. To help manage their facial hair styling needs and grow category share, Gillette created the Fusion ProGlide Styler. However, for these guys Gillette is too "clean cut" and safe, so Gillette had to redefine brand behavior to establish credibility in the world of style.

Even though slate-type personal computers can allow reading electronic books and support a number of other capabilities, they will not destroy the market of specialized electronic book readers or kill the product category. According to analysts, e-book readers will reach 35 million annual unit shipments by 2014, which is up from the previous forecast.
In-spite the potential impact that the tablet PC market may have on the standalone e-reader market, e-reader shipments will grow from 12 million units by the end of this year, to 35 million in 2014, according to In-Stat market research firm. Earlier this year the company predicted 10 million e-book readers to be supplied in 2010 and 28.5 million devices to be shipped in 2013. At the same time, In-Stat also increase its prediction of slates shipments: the firm now expects approximately 58 million of tablets to ship in 2014.
"Tablet PC shipments are taking off, fueled in particular by the Apple iPad introduction. Yet, there will still be a revenue opportunity for e-reader suppliers and OEMs since tablet PCs and e-readers target different consumers. Standalone e-readers will address the needs of avid readers, to whom the reading experience is central. Tablets are better suited for consumers who prefer a stronger multimedia experience, and only light reading," said Stephanie Ethier, a senior analyst at In-Stat.
The market tracking firm predicts that e-book reader price points will continue to fall over the remainder of 2010, with a $99 model likely available in time for the holiday season.
The semiconductor total available market for e-book reader suppliers will exceed one billion dollars in 2011.
Among the semiconductor devices used in e-readers, the processor ASP will be the most resilient over the forecast period, only declining 18% from 2009 to 2014. Despite significant increases in NAND flash densities, the dollar value of Flash declines 60% over the same period.

Long, lustrous and healthy hair is an asset that one longs for. While some are naturally gifted with healthy and thick hair, there are others who need to make some efforts to achieve that. There are many products available in the market, which help to improve the quality of hair. One such product is the fish oil supplement. Due to the positive effect of fish oil on hair, this natural hair supplement has become highly popular in hair care treatment.
Derived from cold water fishes, the fish oil is a rich source of Omega 3 fatty acids which is really good for hair. Often when the body is starved of essential nutrients like Omega 3 acids, the hair quality deteriorates leading to dull and unhealthy hair. Fish oil supplements containing Omega 3 fatty acids are said to be good for hair problems. The positive effect of fish oil on hair can be attributed to the presence of Omega 3 fatty acids which contain hair-growing properties. There are three main nutrients found in Omega 3 – Alpha Linolenic Acid, or ALA, Eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, and Docosahexaenioc acid or DHA. These nutrients are not only good for hair but also for skin and bones.
Effects of Fish Oil on Hair
Following are some of the hair problems in which fish oil is effective:
- Hair loss: Due to the deficiency of important nutrients in the body, one may suffer hair loss. In this case experts often recommend fish oil supplements because of their hair growing properties.
- Dull and Brittle Hair: A fatty acid imbalance too can cause dull and unhealthy hair. Supplements rich in Omega 3 acids can nourish hair by feeding the hair follicles, thereby stimulating growth as well as shine.
Augmenting the nutrients deficiency, the fish oil supplements are perfect for people with hair problems. The quick and positive effect of fish oil on hair is also validated by hair care specialists. So, if you are facing any sort of hair problem, then fish oil supplement is the right product to rely on.

With the proper fuel for muscle growth and sustained Energy, you can push your body to the max with each rep.
Along with helping perpetuate muscle gains, these amino acids in Platinum Hydrobuilder are also active components to maximum recovery. Bodybuilders know that heavy training actually breaks muscle downs. In order to achieve true muscle rebuilding, the body needs a large resource pool of energy. Platinum Hydrobuilder Vanilla Bean The micronized amino acid matrix was designed just for that.
Glutamine is one of the first amino acids the body burns through for energy. Without enough glutamine the body can actually begin to deconstruct muscle as an energy source. Platinum Hydrobuilder Vanilla Bean This can lead to unwanted muscle deterioration. When building a lean muscle body, it's necessary to feed muscles, not deprive them. Platinum Hydrobuidler provides a low calorie (only 180 calories per serving) energy source to help trim and tone muscle development.

That's where the Micellar casein steps in. This protein type breaks down slowly and provides fuel for post-workout when recovery and growth is essential for lasting muscle gains.
Creapure creatine helps assist nutrient uptake by maximizing volume within the cellular structure. This increase in muscle size helps pull more nutrients into the muscle. The flood of nutrients naturally maximizes training results. For the ultimate in muscle building, Platinum Hydrobuilder provides an onslaught of nutritive resources handpicked for results.

Global sales of netbooks are estimated at between 25 million and 30 million units this year, according to market tracking firms, with Acer expected to contribute between 12 million and 15 million units, reports Taiwan Economic News. To sum up, netbook PC will serve as a main growth drive for the shipment performance in 2009.

A Union College alumnus who helped organize the first Daniel Boone Festival and served as grand marshal in 1948, has been selected once again to lead the parade.
Jack J. Early, Union College class of 1948, portrayed Daniel Boone and led the parade on horseback that same year, honoring Boone's heritage and setting forth a tradition.
Early, formerly of Corbin, Ky., now a resident of Louisville, was a perfect choice to play Daniel Boone, not only because of his leadership in student government and the festival committee, his position as "Mr. Union" of 1947, or as a student pastor and minister of the Hindman Methodist Church, but as a descendant of the Earlys, Joneses and Bartons who settled in the 1790s the region that would become Knox County in 1799. He is also related to James D. Black, former Governor of Kentucky and a founder of Union College. Family legend has it that one of his ancestors accompanied Daniel Boone on his second expedition into Kentucky.
Early earned his master's and doctorate degrees in Education from the University of Kentucky and a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Lexington Theological Seminary. He has conducted motivational seminars throughout the U.S. and the world. His many honors include election to the University of Kentucky Hall of Distinguished Alumni and the Hall of Fame for the College of Education at UK, the Hall of Fame at Union College, the Chief Iron Eyes Cody Medal of Peace from a Native Americans organization, and is the holder of four honorary degrees from colleges and universities.
Now the governor of the Society of Colonial Wars in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Early has written widely on historical and genealogical topics. An abridgment of one of his studies of the War of 1812 appears in this edition of the festival program booklet.
Early tells an amusing story about his role as Daniel Boone in a history of "The First Daniel Boone Festival," published in the Knox Historical Museum's periodical, The Knox Countian (Fall 1997 edition). When informed that in his role as Daniel Boone he would be required to ride a horse and lead the parade as grand marshal, he confessed that he didn't know how to ride a horse. A Knox County friend took him to a farm across the railroad to fetch horses. After they crossed the track from the farm on horseback, the engineer blew the train's whistle, startling Early's horse, which reared up straight on its hind legs, but Early managed to stay in the saddle. "I thought you said you couldn't ride a horse," his friend remarked.
The parade this year is scheduled for Oct. 12 at 2:00 p.m. in downtown Barbourville. The festival will take place this week in the town square. A full schedule of events can be found online at www.danielboonefestival.com.
The Daniel Boone Festival was created by Union College professor Dr. Karl Bleyl. Bleyl, along with Union's then senior class, helped establish the festival as a way to celebrate the recently signed Cane Treaty between the people of Barbourville and the Cherokee Nation. According to the treaty, the Cherokee people could gather, without a fee, as much cane from the Barbourville area as they wanted.

|Project Information
Green Builder VISION House Aspen showcases Kolbe windows
The Green Builder® VISION House Aspen celebrated its grand opening with educational events and tours on March 25-26, 2010. Sited near Aspen, Colo., VISION House is the latest in a sequence of show-home projects that demonstrate resource efficiency, durability and cost effectiveness through environmentally responsible design and construction practices.
The home will be rated for four different guidelines: LEED® for Homes, Built Green Colorado, Aspen and Pitkin County's building departments' Green Building Initiatives Program, and the National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB) Green Building Program. To meet these guidelines and accomplish its intended goals, VISION House Aspen employs a multitude of technologies, system and products including Kolbe's Ultra Series premium, aluminum-clad windows.
Kolbe's windows capitalize on both style and performance in highlighting the lot's 360-degree panoramic views of Aspen Mountain, Snowmass Mountain, and the Upper Roaring Fork Valley. The area has a rich history steeped in mining and is now a leading international mountain resort that attracts a wide variety of visitors from around the globe.
"VISION House Aspen is an exercise in the possibilities," says Ron Jones, editorial director of Green Builder Magazine. Having researched the products featured in VISION House Aspen, he notes, "The combination of Kolbe's quality, features and options, made it a unanimous choice for the project's decision makers."
"We looked at a lot of different window manufacturers. Our design team was determined to use the highest quality windows available to give the project a clean, 'Modern Mountain' look," says J. Stace McGee, partner with Environmental Dynamics, Inc. (EDI) of Albuquerque, N.M. "When we saw Kolbe's nice, square, clean aesthetics, we knew that was it. It not only gave us the look we wanted, it also met the budget needs and the ENERGY STAR standard.
McGee, together with his EDI colleague Kenny Myers, were the home's primary designers. McGee also is a LEED Accredited Professional (AP), LEED AP+Homes, and a Green Rater. He adds that Kolbe's windows "also contributed to our LEED for Homes score" on the 6,750-square-foot, two-level property. "To create a sustainable example in the luxury market is a difficult endeavor. VISION House is successful in showing it's possible to achieve this."
"While many view large upscale homes as the antithesis of green or sustainable, I believe that regardless of whether a building or development is commercial, industrial or residential, high- or low-costing, everything we build today should be done with a sustainable approach," emphasizes VISION House builder, Gerry Hazelbaker of Paradigm Construction Corp. in Basalt, Colo.
Matching a full range of sizes and styles, Kolbe's Ultra Series offers options to address energy-efficient requirements, enabling the products to meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® guidelines. Helping lower energy consumption and costs, the windows reflect unwanted solar heat in the summer and retain desired heat during cooler months. Compared with traditional, residential construction, VISION House is estimated to reduce energy use by 50 percent.
In addition to glass options and energy performance, Kolbe's products are offered in a broad palette of finishes and interior wood species, and other accessories to coordinate with nearly any décor. For VISION House Aspen, Kolbe's Ultra Series windows are constructed of alder, which is widely recognized as a sustainable species. The windows' exterior cladding is composed of recycled aluminum and finished with a durable anodize, and accented with a custom, flat profile, Performance Divided Lites (PDLs).
Jones continues, "Kolbe's windows are manufactured using … recycled materials. They're made with high-quality seals and hardware, which not only improve performance, but also are essential to meet client expectations in a home of this caliber."
"It's an honor to be involved with the VISION House program," says Cindy Bremer, Kolbe's director of marketing. "We have a commitment to producing energy-efficient products using environmentally friendly processes and suppliers, so our participation in a project that promotes sustainability is a natural fit."
"Sustainability in window performance is an important design consideration. Kolbe's use of the highest quality, American-made materials contributes to these goals in many ways," says Royal Laybourn of Colorado's Roaring Fork Building Specialties. "In addition to higher performance levels, better materials also contribute to a longer service life and lower lifetime maintenance. Combine sustainability with high style and you have the complete package."
Jones agrees, "The careful articulation and execution of the intent of the project, when combined with the performance data we will mine from the operation of this exquisite residence, will provide invaluable insight into the challenges and potential solutions for the luxury resort market. It further demonstrates the simple truth that sustainability requires teamwork above all else."
McGee agrees, "This project has all the typical bells and whistles of a luxury home." He says VISION House Aspen features "glamorously green finishes throughout the house," while being "over 50 percent more efficient than the 2006 IECC [International Energy Conservation Code]."
The blower door test conducted in March showed 0.23 air changes per hour, which McGee reports "are the best results ever in the Roaring Fork Valley area." He adds, "I am very confident we'll get a LEED-Gold rating."
Furthermore, McGee says, compared to the base case index, VISION House Aspen should achieve:

Because that's EXACTLY what that song needed. It didn't need loads of lyrics. That song is all about the melody and how it slowly builds with extra layers throughout the song.
If you think that song needs more lyrics then that's a perfect example of why McCartney knows more about song writing than you could ever hope to come close to.

Geographic Range
Harp seals are found in the Arctic and northern Atlantic Oceans. Their range extends east from around Baffin Island and Hudson Bay to Cape Chelyuskin in northern Russia. Pagophilus groenlandicus is native to Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Svalbard ,Jan Mayen, and the United States. Stray harp seals have been found in Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Of the pinnipeds (walruses, seals, fur seals and sea lions) in the northern hemisphere, harp seals are the most abundant.
There are three main populations of harp seals, each of which has its own migratory route. The northwest Atlantic population, which breeds and molts in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Labrador, and Newfoundland, travels to Hudson Bay, off the coast of Baffin Island, northwestern Greenland and northern Labrador to feed in early summer. The group that breeds in Jan Mayen spends its summers between Svalbard and Greenland. The population which breeds in the White Sea travels north to the Cara and Barents Seas for the summer. In September, all three of the groups begin to travel south again toward their breeding grounds. They will arrive in their respective breeding grounds in January or February. Some of the juvenile and non-breeding harp seals may remain in the northern feeding areas year round.
Biogeographic Regions: nearctic (Native ); palearctic (Native ); arctic ocean (Native ); atlantic ocean (Native )
Other Geographic Terms: holarctic

Pick up Your Head has a very live feel to it. Do you write collectively in the studio or do
you individually bring ideas to the sessions?
We do both. Anyway we can get a song down, we bring it in that way. The best ones are the ones that are already mapped out when we bring them in, because they come together fast. For the most part, if a song doesn't come together super fast, we'll just throw it in the back and work on something new. We've always felt that there are enough ideas floating around so we don't have to get too strapped down to finishing every single thing. It's like, "Why are we stressing on this? Why don't we just write something better that comes together easier instead of forcing it?"
As songs start taking shape, do you
impose limits on overdubbed parts so you
don't have to worry about duplicating them live?
No, but I knew the record we were making wasn't a two-piece record. [Previously] I always had the thought in the back of my head, "Oh shit—eventually we're going to have to figure out how to do this [live]," but I didn't necessarily want to stop the way I was going about the songs. Some of the first songs for the record were written around bass lines that I had. Right away, that made it fresh to me. It was like, "Now I'm not stuck with just a guitar. Now I can write."
It sounds like you still kept the album relatively straightforward, though. It
wasn't like you added an obscene amount of layers.
Not at all. You know, we're still the kind of band where we'll play a riff for like five minutes and I'll sing 12 different melodies over it. We still stuck with the groove-based stuff, but a lot of the guitar and bass parts don't go together in terms of having to sing and play—I didn't want to think about it this time. I knew we'd figure it out when the time came, and we're playing out now as a five-piece.
What led to that decision?
We have to, because this new record has a hell of a lot more going on and we had to find a way to do it live that wasn't about using computers. In the past, there was literally no bass—it was just a guitar, drums, and vocals. We've just done our first round of shows with these extra dudes. The guitarist is Evan Ferro. He's a super-good guitarist and also sings backup, so he can help me out with the harmonies. The bassist is a guy named Harris Pittman. He's someone we found through our management. He's the newest guy, and we didn't have any association with him before. The other guys we've known. Then Adam Barker, the percussionist, is doing all the pots and pans and shit that you hear throughout the record.
He's bringing pots and pans to the shows?
Yeah, anything clinky and metal. I sent him some songs off the record and told him that we needed someone to build a crazy percussion kit that sounded like what was on the tracks. He really ran with it. He showed up with this insane kit—it's got, like, brake drums off a car, a keg, and trash can lids that are stuck together with a broken thimble. He was able to make a freestanding kit. It's stuff that I could have never conceptualized, but I'm really glad we got a hold of this dude because it sounds exactly like the shit you hear on the record.
MC Rut guitarist Zack Lopez (left) and drummer Sean Stockham (right) have added three band members to flesh out their live sound for this tour. Shown here at Pub Rock in Scottsdale, AZ, on May 3. Photo by Jeffrey Olsen
But as you've experienced in the past, adding
more people can complicate things.
If you're trying to tell someone you want to hear something a certain way and they're not on the same page, it's never going to work. Sean and I have always clicked when working together. Once we started singing, we were like, "Oh shit, this is where it's at." It was way easier just to have two people to tour. Now it's logistically a nightmare—all the extra gear and everything. But then you figure that's how bands have done it forever. A traditional band is a four- or five-piece, so if everyone else can figure it out, certainly we could, too.
After this tour, will these additional guys
be involved with the next album, or will
you guys remain a duo writing music
with the knowledge that even complex
arrangements will be playable live?
It's hard to say, man. Which way do you go? They weren't involved in the writing process—Sean and I did everything by ourselves. I think it's good because these guys were brought in after the record was done so we all have a goal and we know what it's supposed to sound like. We finished the record and it was, like, "Okay, now let's figure it out." We don't really have a plan in terms of going forward. It's still relatively new.

His Podcasts need to go no holds barred and with ACE, he could keep his writing obligations for a major publication separate from the four letter-laden Podcast. If the network bears fruit, he's got a piece of ownership. If not, at least he's in an uncensored environment with upside.

This assumes that Mr. Simmons' career now is where mine was twelve years ago (anchoring SportsCenter, then my own MSNBC political show, anchoring NBC Weekend Nightly News, writing a best-selling sports book, etc). In fact, this assumes that this is Mr. Simmons' career, which is remarkable. Also, anybody who could write as many words without saying anything of consequence really should throw around the word "blowhard" as frequently as he would a street sewer cover.Also, I don't think "pious" necessarily means what he thinks it does.Having made his point 50% of his words ago, Mr. Simmons still continues. As usual:

Life at the State Department has changed immeasurably for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) employees since the founding of Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies (GLIFAA) in 1992. As a member of GLIFAA and a Foreign Service Officer, I deeply appreciate the dedication of the Obama Administration to ensuring that LGBT members of the Foreign Service enjoy many more equal benefits for our partners and families than was the case until just a few years ago. On a broader level, the central role this Administration has given to the promotion of human rights for LGBT persons around the world is a tremendous source of pride for me and for my fellow LGBT colleagues.
GLIFAA was thus particularly honored to host Ambassador Susan Rice at a commemoration of LGBT Pride Month on Friday in Washington, D.C. Standing before nearly 80 employees of the Department of State and NGO representatives who work on LGBT issues, Ambassador Rice spoke passionately about the work of the U.S. Mission to the United Nations to strengthen the LGBT community's basic human rights worldwide. Crucially, she marked the June 17 passage of a historic Human Rights Council resolution dedicated to advancing the fundamental human rights of LGBT persons -- the first such resolution ever to pass a vote by a UN body. Ambassador Rice said:
"When the U.S. delegation voted yes in Geneva, we reaffirmed a basic American promise: to fight discrimination in any guise and to embrace diversity in every form. The Obama Administration is proud to work to make that promise real. We've taken historic strides to advance LGBT equality and to strengthen LGBT families and communities."
I believe we have many achievements to be proud of during this Pride Month. I'm very proud of the work of my colleagues, the expert negotiators who've spent long, difficult hours in New York or Geneva -- or both -- to make such a development possible. I am proud that the United States is now a member of the LGBT Core Group at the United Nations. I'm proud that Ambassador Rice led the charge, early on in the current Administration, to join the General Assembly's statement on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, which condemns violence and harassment against LGBT persons. I was proud when the United States, working with others, won NGO consultative status for the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission. And I was proud when my colleagues at USUN waged the fight to restore a reference to sexual orientation in a resolution against extrajudicial killings last fall.
When I joined the Foreign Service just eight years ago, partners of Foreign Service Officers paid their own way to post, attempted to obtain visas without assistance, and faced the possibility of being left behind in the event that their loved ones were to be evacuated. Today, to the extent possible under the law, federal benefits are available to the same-sex partners of U.S. government employees. Secretary Clinton extended those benefits abroad to State Department employees, an action that has served as a model for similar changes for LGBT Americans working within the UN system, both in New York and in the field. I am particularly grateful for these benefits on a personal level, as they have allowed my partner to join me in New York later this year. These new policies have had an enormous impact on the lives of LGBT officers thus far, enabling us to live openly and serve proudly as equal members of the Foreign Service community.
There is far more work to do. As Ambassador Rice said, "The quest for equality for LGBT persons isn't just an American challenge. It must be the work of all peoples and all nations. But I do see it as a struggle rooted in a great and distinctly American promise: to ensure that all people can live with dignity and fairness under the law."Editor's Note: This entry also appears on the White House Blog. You can read Ambassador Rice's full remarks to Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies (GLIFAA) here. On Monday, June 27, at 10:25 a.m. (EDT), Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will deliver remarks to GLIFAA in the Dean Acheson Auditorium at the Department of State. Her remarks will be carried live on www.state.gov and DipNote.

Comments about Learning Resources Smart Splash® Letter Link Crabs:
The crabs are a great way to have fun whilst learning for small children. We make words in the bath and play games with them. The crabs have upper case on one side and lower case on the other enabling my children to see together the different letters. Easily stored in their mesh bag and we we still have no mould after three years!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Here's how RW members rated this race (36 votes).
Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: What's not to like!In full: Another great run thanks to the Fire Brigade and all the great marshals along the way. For once the weather was kind - no extremes and even the wind didn't seem too bad once you'd got used to it. The windmill was just as elusive as ever on the approach (it's so cruel to get you right up to it and then send you sideways on an extra loop...)but the return seemed shorter for it. Post run catering was as friendly and as tasty as ever (so I'm told - I hate peas...) and the marshals went out of their way to encourage everyone, regardless of speed. I'll definitely be back!Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: Usual good, well organised race.In full: The weather can be unpredictable at this time of year so as i've mentioned before in review I always carry some fluid with me knowing there is only one water stop. Last year it was cold so didn't need it but this year quite warm, anyway there was plenty water at 5 miles if you needed more.As usual well organised and marshalled with plenty of encouragement too, thanksDate of review: March 19, 2012
In short: To the windmill `n` back!In full: It is a shame that the base is at the fire station a fair old hike from the start and also that there`s the double lap of the car park to begin the race but, when you`ve got to grips with those facts, it`s a really nice race!This year the weather was glorious meaning quite a few specatators to add to the numerous marshalls lining the course. A fair mix of runners and a decent shot at a PB if you could get in a group on the second half of the race with a headwind to contend with.No medal or t-shirt but a bargain fee with a sweet-toothed goody bag and lots to refuel on at the end of the race, unless you`ve `walked off the course`!Date of review: March 18, 2012
In short: Water water everywhere, but not enough to drink!In full: Unfortunately run on probably hottest day of the year. Couldn't survive on half a cup of water. Gave up after nine miles and walked off the route. Won't be back - unless it's for a picnic! :) Date of review: March 18, 2012
In short: Nice fast course - ideal for 10 mile virgin or those seeking a PBDate of review: March 18, 2012
In short: Quick but could be better organisiedIn full: It had been said for previous years - and I'd hoped they'd rectified it – the start is a 10 min walk from race HQ and then once the gun goes you've got a very congested couple of laps around the small car park before you head out onto the road. After this it's a very pleasant route along the beach road & promenade to the windmill and back. The scenery is nice, including views right out across the bay to Southport. The course couldn't be any flatter with only a few sharpish bends to slow you down so this has definite PB potential, which is primarily why I chose it. Perhaps due to a cool & heavily overcast day, with the threat of rain imminent, there weren't many spectators to spur us on. Parking is a bit of a conundrum; near race HQ space is at a premium, so should everyone drive down to nearer the start once they've checked in? The goody bag was indeed packed with quite a few goodies, and whilst there was no shirt etc. inside it was better than many events I've attended. I may well be back for this next year to attempt another PB. Date of review: March 21, 2011
In short: Great race by the sea, flat and friendly. And afterwards there's pie, peas & gravy + cuppa for 50p - top!Date of review: March 21, 2011
In short: A good well organised race as usual. Thanks to everyone who helped put it on.Date of review: March 20, 2011
In short: A well organised and enjoyable race. Laps of car park at the start could do with looking at. Refreshments at the end were welcome, ie milk & bananas.Date of review: March 22, 2010

Murder Suspect Indicted For Killing Acquaintance With Golf Club
Police say a man beat an acquaintance to death in Medford with a golf club in an unprovoked attack. Travis Donald Asbill was indicted Tuesday by a Jackson County grand jury on a murder charge in Sunday's slaying of Donald William Mack at his home.
The Mail Tribune reports the 29-year-old Asbill had been out of state prison for a little more than a year after serving seven years for an attempted murder conviction. A woman who says she once had a relationship with Asbill says his use of meth "changed him." She says use of the drug made him suspicious people were out to get him.

Mr. Speaker, thank my friend for his support of Bill C-23.
As a member of the transportation committee, I too had an opportunity to participate in the discussion and hear witnesses. Not one witness spoke against the legislation.
I come from the west coast. The Vancouver Fraser Port is very important to me. It is very important to the economy of British Columbia and to the economy of the country. Any delays at all in moving the legislation forward will hurt our economy.
Mr. Gordon Houston and Mr. Duncan Wilson, representatives from the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, visited me yesterday.They expressed serious concern, and it was not about the legislation. Their concern was about the delays that were occurring in the House. There was consensus at committee that this was excellent legislation and that it was important for the productivity of our country, yet the NDP is delaying and obstructing it.
Does the member know why that is occurring and will these delay have an impact on the ability of the Montreal Port Authority to move ahead with improvements to its facility?

Mr. Speaker, I said it in my speech. Had we not had the election, this bill would have been passed and gone forward. The Conservatives have to stop blaming the opposition for not passing bills. This is a slam dunk. The government has the consent of our side of the House and with Conservative members, the bill can be passed rather quickly.
The government has to get on with its vision and move on to bigger and better things. The bill should have been adopted ages ago. The Conservatives should be tabling new bills addressing the challenges that we will be facing in 2008 and not 2004.
Let us get going and pass the bill.
Canada Marine Act
Government Orders
10:45 a.m.
Mario Laframboise Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise here today on behalf of the Bloc Québécois to speak to Bill C-23, An Act to amend the Canada Marine Act, the Canada Transportation Act, the Pilotage Act and other Acts in consequence.
For the benefit of our listeners and my colleagues in this House, it is important to briefly go over the content of the bill. This bill has a very specific objective concerning Canada's port authorities.
I will use Quebec as an example. Not all the ports in Quebec that our citizens are familiar with will benefit from this legislation. Five ports have port authorities. Those port authorities are autonomous management companies. They are in Montreal, Trois-Rivières, Quebec City, Port Saguenay and Sept-Îles. They are responsible for the administration of the ports, as well as domestic and international trade, and they form what is known as the national port system.
This bill targets these ports that have port authorities, autonomous management companies. They have constantly changing needs. There is a reason I previously gave the example of the port of Vancouver. The Liberals created the Asia-Pacific corridor, and the Conservatives have put money into the Pacific gateway. But both the Conservatives and the Liberals forgot that Canada had other maritime gateways. The St. Lawrence-Great Lakes corridor is another extremely important gateway.
This bill enables port authorities to take advantage of infrastructure programs. We have to be careful, though, because the $33 billion in funding announced includes only one infrastructure program. I am not making that up. It is in the Conservative government's budget. It was in the economic statement last fall. Of the $33 billion, $1 billion is set aside for the Asia-Pacific corridor and the Pacific gateway, which means for the port of Vancouver and, I believe, Fraser port.
What this will mean for other ports once this bill is adopted is that they will have to apply for funding to other infrastructure programs, many of which are intended for cities.
This is important to us. I want to tell my Conservative and Liberal colleagues that the Bloc Québécois is the conscience of Quebeckers. That is why Quebeckers elected us: to point out the gaps in all the bills that apply to Quebec. We are happy to do this, and that is why we work collaboratively.
We will support this bill, but we have to be able to raise red flags. We are the only party that raises red flags for Quebeckers. Once again, the funding announced includes money only for the Pacific gateway. The Liberals created the gateway, and the Conservatives have continued funding it. We shall see what happens.
As I said earlier, this bill will enable port authorities to apply to various infrastructure programs, something they were prohibited from doing by the legislation that created them.
When the port authorities were created, just like when the airport authorities were created, they were supposed to pay for themselves. That is why users and shipowners pay fees to use port facilities. Airports have their airport improvement fees—the AIFs that people pay every time they buy a plane ticket. These authorities were supposed to pay for themselves.
In the marine transportation sector, economic development is tied to development. The industry is changing, and marine transportation is growing. Major new facilities will be needed in various ports for all kinds of reasons.
Earlier, someone talked about how the Montreal port needs $500 million. An application will probably be submitted for that money. The port of Montreal wants to be able to accommodate cruise ships. Montreal is one of our most beautiful cities, along with Quebec City and other cities. I mean those with ports, like Sept-Îles. The member for Manicouagan, who is doing such a good job of representing the region, knows that the city of Sept-Îles is a very beautiful city. We also have Port Saguenay, Quebec City, Trois-Rivières and Montreal. Among other things, Montreal would like to invest a lot of money in facilities to accommodate passengers there. That could mean an investment of about $500 million.
The Bloc Québécois would like to see that happen. However, we would not want Montreal to apply for funding from infrastructure programs and be competing with applications from the City of Montreal. We do not want what is happening in Toronto to happen in Montreal.
I am from Quebec, and I stand up for the interests of Quebeckers. With all due respect to the members from Ontario—I have no idea what they are doing about it—the City of Toronto and the Toronto Port Authority are at war. I do not want to see these conflicts get any worse and spread to the other ports I mentioned earlier—Montreal, Trois-Rivières, Quebec City, Sept-Îles and Saguenay. Port authorities can now apply for funding from infrastructure programs, and they do not necessarily have the same vision as the cities. It is important to emphasize that.
We have to tell the Conservative government that it must not give all of the money to the Asia-Pacific gateway and corridor. It will have to invest money. We know that is not in this year's budget, but we hope that the Conservative government will listen to us and that next year, there will be significant funding for development of the St. Lawrence—Great Lakes corridor.
This bill will also allow the borrowing limit to be increased. The port authorities, the port of Vancouver among others, have maximized their borrowing capacity, likely as a result of their rapid growth, and would like to do business like any other private organization. That is more or less the case. They will be allowed to make borrowing rules and access the markets with their income. Their borrowing limit is being increased to allow them to further their own development.
The port of Montreal is not asking for this because it does not have any debt. That is why the Bloc Québécois has to be the conscience of Quebeckers. If the port of Montreal could apply to infrastructure programs, it would not borrow money and go into debt just because other ports, like the port of Vancouver, are in debt. There needs to be some logic in all this and every port should be allowed to develop within their own limits.
In addition to the increased borrowing limit and the ability to apply to different infrastructure programs, governance is being improved and the ports will be allowed in their letters patent to manage real property. This is something the port authorities asked for in order to have more latitude in managing the federal government's assets and to be able to purchase property and other facilities.
All this is because the ports are undergoing intensive development. They want to be able to make forecasts and acquire property before an expansion. They wanted to have the financial ability to plan and not have to wait until the last-minute. Sometimes while they are waiting to acquire the land around a port, the price goes up. If port authorities could plan their investments over ten or more years, they could immediately start acquiring land and rent it out in the meantime, for other purposes, until they can use it to achieve their development objectives.
We have to be careful. We cannot allow them to become speculators for the government. Once again, the Bloc Québécois will be the conscience of Quebeckers. We will make sure the bill is used appropriately by the port authorities. We are prepared to give them this chance to develop and plan their development. However, we do not want this to interfere with the major development the cities are planning in their own jurisdictions. That is where we draw the line because when we allow port authorities to apply to the same infrastructure programs as the cities, there is a problem.
No one can tell us otherwise. There is only one envelope for marine transportation and that is the billion dollars for the Asia-Pacific gateway announced by the federal government. No other monies have been set aside in the infrastructure program for the St. Lawrence—Great lakes corridor in particular, which is an underutilized corridor. Earlier I heard a Liberal member say that they had contributed to its development.
The St. Lawrence Seaway is underutilized. I will give you some statistics. The total amount of goods shipped on the St. Lawrence fell from 130 million tonnes in the early 1980s to 100 million and 105 million tonnes in recent years. Once again, even with a 5 million tonne increase in the past three years, we have nevertheless lost 25 million tonnes in marine shipping on the St. Lawrence since 1980.
However, over the past 30 years, shipping has increased 600% internationally. On the Mississippi system, which is the St. Lawrence's direct competitor, shipping has increased from 450 million to 700 million tonnes. There is not one Liberal who can boast about that in this House.
Since the early 1980s, the St. Lawrence has lost out with shipping falling from 130 million to 105 million tonnes, whereas on the Mississippi shipping has increased from 450 million to 700 million tonnes and international shipping has increased by 600%. Once again, the governments, both Liberal and Conservative, underestimated the capacity of the St. Lawrence—Great Lakes corridor, which is the main access route to the central United States. Again, the governments overlooked Quebec and Ontario.
It must be said—we are very honest—when we defend Quebec and the St. Lawrence—Great Lakes corridor, we are defending the Great Lakes and Ontario, whether the Liberal members like it or not. They have a majority in Ontario, and have seen marine transportation in the St. Lawrence—Great Lakes corridor decline, but it did not seem to bother them, and it does not seem to bother them now.
Once again, the Bloc Québécois is alone in defending this very important St. Lawrence—Great Lakes corridor. Why? Because we have five very important ports in Montreal, Trois-Rivières, Quebec City, Port Saguenay et Sept-Îles. We want these ports to be able to develop without having to compete with municipalities. That is why we will call for an independent program.
Yes, this bill is important so that port authorities are able to increase their borrowing capacity, acquire land to plan their development over the next 10 years, and apply to infrastructure programs. But these ports in Quebec and in other regions, such as Ontario, should not have to compete with municipalities in the other infrastructure programs, because there was no money allocated for the St. Lawrence—Great Lakes corridor, as there was for the Pacific gateway.
Once again, the Bloc Québécois is proud to be the conscience of Quebeckers. It is the only party in this House to do so.
World War I Veteran

Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to recognize an extraordinary woman. Her name is Gladys Powers and she is celebrating a birthday.
I know that a gentleman never discusses a lady's age, but in this case I know the House will agree that an exception should be made. On May 10, Gladys will turn 109 years old.
That is only part of the story. Gladys was a world traveller. Born in England, she lived in Turkey and Australia. Her life has straddled three different centuries. Today she calls Abbotsford, B.C. her home.
What really sets Gladys apart is that at the tender age of 15, she fibbed about her age and enlisted in the British Women's Auxiliary in World War I. Today, she is not only Canada's oldest war veteran, but also the world's last surviving female veteran of World War I.
What a remarkable life. I call on my colleagues to support me in wishing Gladys Powers a happy 109th birthday.

Mr. Speaker, April is the Canadian Cancer Society's Daffodil Month, in recognition of the millions of Canadians touched by cancer.
Unfortunately, most Canadians know, or will know, someone who has suffered from cancer in their lifetime.
According to statistics this year approximately 166,000 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer and about 74,000 will die from this terrible disease. The new numbers also suggest that one out of four Canadians will succumb to cancer. This is shocking.
It is important that we do not give up on the fight against this terrible affliction. We must take the opportunity to better understand this disease and to appeal to all governments and to all the people of Canada to step up and show their support. Together we can and will make cancer history.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to echo the Sherbrooke AQDR which, on April 4, thanked two doctors from the region for taking a stand on behalf of seniors who are not receiving the guaranteed income supplement.
Doctors Munger and Lamontagne put out an appeal to all citizens with an interest in social justice to spread the word about the guaranteed income supplement and offer to help a senior take the necessary steps to receive the money they are owed.
The two doctors said that this would be productive because there are approximately 1,500 people in the Eastern Townships who are eligible for the supplement yet do not receive it. Their pension income totals about $6,000 per year, but they are eligible for an additional amount that could be as high as $7,000 for a single person. They added, "If only this money could lead to better food and housing—".
Along with my colleagues from the Bloc Québécois, I would like to congratulate Doctors Munger and Lamontagne for their initiative, and I hope that it will produce results.

Mr. Speaker, this week the metro Vancouver 2008 homeless count was released. It is no surprise that the numbers are up yet again. The number of those living on the street was up 37% over 2005, and up 131% overall since 2002. It is likely even higher given the difficulty of actually taking the count.
Continued homelessness is just plain wrong. Homelessness in a wealthy country like ours with huge government surpluses is an outrage. The fact that this national crisis does not dominate our politics is the real scandal of the day.
Existing housing programs must be renewed for the long term. The Conservatives must immediately finance a multi-year national housing program with set targets that actually builds homes. Use the surplus. Cancel tax cuts for profitable corporations. Take action now.
Every Saturday groups of citizens in the Vancouver area stand on street corners in silent witness to the need for urgent action. Every Saturday more people join these stands. Citizens know what is needed. When will the government join them and build housing?
Community Boosters

Bev Shipley Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, this past week marked the passing of two tremendous citizens and community boosters in Lambton—Kent—Middlesex who lived their lives in service to others.
Murray Newkirk lived 95 years as a businessman and one of the driving forces behind Wallaceburg's Kiltie Band. He loved music and he used his voice as a member of the church choir where he also served on the board for numerous years. Murray is fondly remembered first and foremost as a gentleman.
Reverend Bob Whalls passed away suddenly at the all too young age of 52. Reverend Whalls pastored a United Church three point charge, and he was the longest current serving member of the Wallaceburg Ministerial Association and was the Padre of the Wallaceburg Legion. Uniquely, Reverend Whalls was also an active member of the Soul Patrol, a group of Christian motorcycle enthusiasts who collected can goods for local food banks and provided motorcycle rides to seniors.
I ask the House to please join me in honouring two very well-lived lives.

Mr. Speaker, Canada needs a balanced three-prong approach in Afghanistan: security, development and democratic peace building.
Our troops have been doing brave and honourable work. It is now time that Canada's NATO allies shouldered their fair share of the mission's weight.
Canada has lost 82 of its bravest citizens and seen more than 300 wounded from this conflict. With the military price tag skyrocketing under the Conservative government, Canada must shift its focus.
NATO countries must deploy substantial numbers of troops to Kandahar to allow Canadian troops to focus their efforts on training the Afghan army and police authorities. In parallel, Canada must help facilitate a democratic peacebuilding and reconciliation process between warlords and different religious and ethnic factions, recognizing that there is no military based solution to the conflict. We must also shift our focus to reconstruction and development assistance.
Only with a balanced approach can we be successful in bringing peace to the Afghans.

Mr. Speaker, recently I met with members of the Tibetan community in Toronto to discuss the ongoing unrest in Tibet. It was an open exchange of views.
I was also encouraged to see Chinese Canadians demonstrating and calling for dialogue.
China needs to move forward. A golden opportunity has been presented to the Chinese through the hand of friendship and cooperation offered by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. We encourage the Chinese to seize it.
Canada will continue to encourage China to engage in dialogue with the Dalai Lama, to fully respect human rights, respect peaceful protest, show restraint in dealing with the situation in Tibet, and allow unrestricted access to the entire affected region.
An early peaceful and sustainable resolution is in the interest of all.

Mr. Speaker, Venant Cauchy, a great Quebecker, a man of the world, an internationally renowned philosopher and an apostle of Quebec sovereignty, died last week at the venerable age of 83.
For many years, we were privileged to be part of his entourage, and to benefit from his friendship, his teachings and his wisdom.
Even when he knew his days were numbered, he kept thinking of the country of which he had always dreamed. I would like to read the last thing he wrote in Laval on March 8: "We would like to extend a cordial invitation to you to be part of Quebec's society, which welcomes all communities that are open to our country. May you find it to be a society that lives and breathes freedom and education. Long live a free Quebec!"
Venant, my Bloc Québécois colleagues and I salute you one last time.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Conservative government, I congratulate Sikhs in Canada and around the world on the celebration of Vaisakhi.
In 1699 Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji created Khalsa and gave Sikhs a name, Singh or Kaur, along with a visible identity and the five kakars that are globally recognized as religious symbols. Guru Ji also gave Sikhs a code of conduct and discipline based on equality, justice, peace, courage, hard work, honesty, community service and the universality of the brotherhood.
Creation of Khalsa meant obliteration of all creed or caste based disparities and discriminations and the courage to fight injustice and oppression. His teachings are for all humankind.
During the last century, the Canadian Sikh community has made a significant contribution to the social, cultural and economic prosperity to our great country.
I invite all to celebrate Vaisakhi on Parliament Hill. The very best wishes to all on celebration of Vaisakhi.
Rwandan Genocide
Statements By Members

Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, on Monday the House unanimously adopted a motion commemorating the Rwandan genocide on its 14th anniversary.
During a three month period beginning April 7, 1994, 800,000 Rwandans were killed in an organized genocidal campaign. Nobody can say that we did not know. We knew, but we did not act.
In designating April 7 as a Day of Reflection on the Prevention of Genocide, we will be able to learn about, reflect upon and act upon the unlearned lessons of the Rwandan genocide.
First, the genocide occurred not because of the machinery of death, but because of the state sanctioned incitement of genocide. Second, the genocide was made possible by the indifference and inaction of the international community. Third, the international community must act to prevent genocide to begin with, rather than intervene after the fact when it is too late. Fourth, there is the danger of genocide denial, which constitutes an assault on truth, memory and justice.
It is tragic that while we recall the catastrophic effects of the Rwandan genocide, we have yet to act in the genocide in Darfur.
If Rwanda taught us anything, it is that the time to act is now. Tomorrow will be too late.

Mr. Speaker, another provincial budget was introduced earlier this week and once again Canadians are seeing good results from our government's fiscal policy.
When Manitoba finance minister Greg Selinger tabled his budget, he listed area after area where Manitobans are benefiting from a positive federal-provincial relationship and strong federal investments. He talked about how federal investments will help Manitobans save more money, improve health care, transition to new jobs, upgrade their skills, increase productivity, build new wastewater infrastructure, hire more police officers and create better public transit. Finally, because of our fiscal policy, Manitoba was able to produce yet another balanced budget. The list goes on and on.
The real question is why the federal NDP cannot see what Premier Doer is doing. Why did the members for Elmwood—Transcona, Winnipeg Centre and Winnipeg North not tell their leader that budget 2008 is good for Manitoba and good for Canada? Why did they let their party vote against it? Is their leader that out of touch, or is he just not listening?
Our Corridor

Catherine Bell Vancouver Island North, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to give my support to the Our Corridor campaign, launched to help rebuild Vancouver Island's rail service.
A growing list of citizens, community groups and local politicians are getting on board, hoping to raise $103.8 million for upgrades to ensure viability. It is abundantly clear that this rail service would facilitate many opportunities for our island communities and include both economic and environmental benefits.
Once the rail corridor is upgraded, our businesses will have a seamless competitive advantage for exporting and importing products that is fuel efficient and environmentally friendly. At the present time, it is taking the equivalent of 2,900 large trailer trucks off the roads per year. With the proposed upgrades, this number could rise to almost 18,000 trucks per year.
The proposal supports an integrated transportation system that connects buses to trains, park and ride facilities and the use of bicycle and walking paths along the corridor. All that is needed now is for the federal government to make it to the station and get on board to support our island rail service.

As Palm is becoming a likely target for an acquisition, Lenovo Group, a company that recently re-entered the market of mobile phones, is named a potential buyer.
Palm is the inventor of personal digital assistant (PDA), the father of today's smartphone. However, the company failed to take advantage of the smartphone revolution in the middle of the previous decade. In order to develop the latest operating system for smartphones, Palm even had to scrap plans to create Foleo netbook/smartbook companion for mobile phones just months before netbooks became popular. However, its latest smartphone called Pre failed to meet sales expectations. As a result, the rumours about possible takeover of Palm are heating up.
According to OptionMonster, hedge funds (or their brokers) are spreading rumours that Lenovo is the potential buyer for Palm, which helped the latter's stock to go up on Wednesday. Earlier many other companies were named as potential buyers, including Nokia, the world's largest maker of mobile phones. Another likely buyer could also be Acer Group, which has also entered the market of smartphones and which would gain a lot from Palm's patent portfolio as well as engineering resources.
Lenovo Group is known for acquisitions. In order to revolutionize its personal computer business, the company acquired PC unit of IBM and quickly gained worldwide recognition of Lenovo brand. However, taking over Palm does not seem to be a really great idea from brand or product family points of view: unlike IBM's Think-branded line of products that have always been popular among business users, Palm's family of devices is not actually popular among any group of users. The only reason to acquire Palm is to get its patents portfolio along with a pool of engineers.
Palm and Lenovo did not comment on the news-story.

Our Story
Founded in South Africa in the 1970's, ChlorKing® has developed into a formidable player in the field of on-site chlorine generation. Chemical engineer David S. von Broembsen initially developed the technology for the treatment of underground mine water, dolphinarium sea water and other large scale swimming pool chlorination.
In 1999 David partnered with fellow South African, Steve Pearce and launched ChlorKing® Inc. U.S.A and moved manufacturing and distribution to Atlanta, Georgia to take advantage of the untapped U.S commercial swimming pool market where on-site chlorine generation and salt chlorination were starting to make some gains against the traditional methods of chlorinating a swimming pool with granular or liquid chlorine.
Today, ChlorKing® Inc. has taken over as the leader of on-site chlorine generation and salt chlorination for commercial swimming pools using patented technology which enables production of large amounts of chlorine in a single cell compared with banking multiple small cells together.
In 2009 ChlorKing® launched its NEX-GEN line of chlorine generators which are the first of its kind to produce pH neutral chlorine, on-site, using the swimming pool as the source water for the product.
An acquisition in 2009 also launched ChlorKing® into Ultraviolet light technology, together with the founding partners of Sentry UV, ChlorKing® now offers a cost effective, low maintenance, NSF/ANSI-50 certified Ultraviolet Light system for commercial swimming pools and spa's. A rapid growth market, ChlorKing® is excited about the future of Ultraviolet Light technology and its potential in the commercial swimming pool market.
With over 6,000 commercial swimming pool and water park installations worldwide, ChlorKing® continues to grow not only with current products but with new and exciting merging technologies as well.
