Graduate Program in Political Science at Brock
Brock's MA program in political science offers the high-quality academic pursuit available in larger institutions, but in a more intimate and collegial setting. Students are given the opportunity to work closely with the department's nationally and internationally recognized faculty in small, seminar-style classes and in one-one interactions. Most MA students in the department are also employed as teaching or research assistants, allowing them to earn income to support their studies, while exposing them to the real worlds of academic teaching and research.
The MA program in political science allows students to specialize in one of five sub-fields of political science: Canadian politics, comparative politics, international relations, political philosophy, and public policy. At the same time, all MA students are required to take core seminars focusing on the great works of political science and political science research methods. In this way, the program allows students to focus on their areas of research interest while ensuring they have the general knowledge and research skills necessary to see the significance of their research in broader context. The core seminars also contribute greatly to the widely renowned collegiality of the MA program.
Graduates of the program have proceeded to successful careers in government, politics, and business; many have pursued further study to become scholars and teachers.
General questions regarding the MA program in Political Science can be addressed to Michelle Benson, the Graduate Program Administrator, and Professor Charles Conteh, the Graduate Program Director. Detailed inquiries regarding admission to the MA program in Political Science can be addressed to Charles Burton, the Graduate Admissions Coordinator.

Aung San Suu Kyi MP AC (Burmese: ; MLCTS: aung hcan: cu. krany, IPA: [ʔàʊɴ sʰáɴ sṵ tɕì]; born 19 June 1945) is a Burmese opposition politician and General Secretary of the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Burma. In the 1990 general election, the NLD won 59% of the national votes and 81% (392 of 485) of the seats in Parliament.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] She had, however, already been detained under house arrest before the elections. She remained under house arrest in Burma for almost 15 of the 21 years from 20 July 1989 until her most recent release on 13 November 2010,[9] becoming one of the world's most prominent (now former) political prisoners.[10]
Suu Kyi received the Rafto Prize and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. In 1992 she was awarded the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding by the government of India and the International Simón Bolívar Prize from the government of Venezuela. In 2007, the Government of Canada made her an honorary citizen of that country;[11] at the time, she was one of only four people ever to receive the honor.[12] In 2011, she was awarded the Wallenberg Medal.[13]
On 1 April 2012, her opposition party, the National League for Democracy, announced that she was elected to the Pyithu Hluttaw, the lower house of the Burmese parliament, representing the constituency of Kawhmu;[14] her party also won 43 of the 45 vacant seats in the lower house.[15] The election results were confirmed by the official electoral commission the following day.[16]
Suu Kyi is the third child and only daughter of Aung San, considered to be the father of modern-day Burma.
Contents |
Aung San Suu Kyi derives her name from three relatives: "Aung San" from her father, "Suu" from her paternal grandmother and "Kyi" from her mother Khin Kyi.[17] She is frequently called Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Daw is not part of her name, but is an honorific, similar to madame, for older, revered women, literally meaning "aunt."[18] She is also often referred to as Daw Suu by the Burmese (or Amay Suu, lit. "Mother Suu," by some followers),[19][20] or "Aunty Suu", and as Dr. Suu Kyi,[21] Ms. Suu Kyi, or Mrs. Suu Kyi by the foreign media. However, like other Burmese, she has no surname (see Burmese names). The pronunciation of her name is approximated as "Awn Sahn Sue Chee," although the "ch" in "Chee" is unaspirated.[22]

Aung San Suu Kyi was born in Rangoon (now named Yangon).[23] Her father, Aung San, founded the modern Burmese army and negotiated Burma's independence from the British Empire in 1947; he was assassinated by his rivals in the same year. She grew up with her mother, Khin Kyi, and two brothers, Aung San Lin and Aung San Oo, in Rangoon. Aung San Lin died at age eight, when he drowned in an ornamental lake on the grounds of the house.[17] Her elder brother emigrated to San Diego, California, becoming a United States citizen.[17] After Aung San Lin's death, the family moved to a house by Inya Lake where Suu Kyi met people of very different backgrounds, political views and religions.[24] She was educated in Methodist English High School (now Basic Education High School No. 1 Dagon) for much of her childhood in Burma, where she was noted as having a talent for learning languages.[25] She is a Theravada Buddhist.
Suu Kyi's mother, Khin Kyi, gained prominence as a political figure in the newly formed Burmese government. She was appointed Burmese ambassador to India and Nepal in 1960, and Aung San Suu Kyi followed her there, she studied in the Convent of Jesus and Mary School, New Delhi and graduated from Lady Shri Ram College in New Delhi with a degree in politics in 1964.[26][27] Suu Kyi continued her education at St Hugh's College, Oxford, obtaining a B.A. degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics in 1969. During her time in Oxford, she fell in love with a Pakistani man but the relationship ended in tears.[28] After graduating, she lived in New York City with a family friend who was once a popular Burmese pop singer.[28] She worked at the UN for three years, primarily on budget matters, writing daily to her future husband, Dr. Michael Aris.[29] In 1972, Aung San Suu Kyi married Aris, a scholar of Tibetan culture, living abroad in Bhutan.[26] The following year she gave birth to their first son, Alexander Aris, in London; their second son, Kim, was born in 1977. Subsequently, she earned a PhD at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London in 1985. She was elected as an Honorary Fellow in 1990.[26] For two years she was a Fellow at the Indian Institute of Advanced Studies (IIAS) in Shimla, India. She also worked for the government of the Union of Burma.
In 1988 Suu Kyi returned to Burma, at first to tend for her ailing mother but later to lead the pro-democracy movement. Aris' visit in Christmas 1995 turned out to be the last time that he and Suu Kyi met, as Suu Kyi remained in Burma and the Burmese dictatorship denied him any further entry visas.[26] Aris was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997 which was later found to be terminal. Despite appeals from prominent figures and organizations, including the United States, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and Pope John Paul II, the Burmese government would not grant Aris a visa, saying that they did not have the facilities to care for him, and instead urged Aung San Suu Kyi to leave the country to visit him. She was at that time temporarily free from house arrest but was unwilling to depart, fearing that she would be refused re-entry if she left, as she did not trust the military junta's assurance that she could return.[30]
Aris died on his 53rd birthday on 27 March 1999. Since 1989, when his wife was first placed under house arrest, he had seen her only five times, the last of which was for Christmas in 1995. She was also separated from her children, who live in the United Kingdom, but starting in 2011, they have visited her in Burma.[31]
On 2 May 2008, after Cyclone Nargis hit Burma, Suu Kyi lost the roof of her house and lived in virtual darkness after losing electricity in her dilapidated lakeside residence. She used candles at night as she was not provided any generator set.[32] Plans to renovate and repair the house were announced in August 2009.[33] Suu Kyi was released from house arrest on 13 November 2010.[34]
Coincident with Aung San Suu Kyi's return to Burma in 1988, the long-time military leader of Burma and head of the ruling party, General Ne Win, stepped down. Mass demonstrations for democracy followed that event on 8 August 1988 (8–8–88, a day seen as auspicious), which were violently suppressed in what came to be known as the 8888 Uprising. On 26 August 1988, she addressed half a million people at a mass rally in front of the Shwedagon Pagoda in the capital, calling for a democratic government.[26] However in September, a new military junta took power.
Influenced[35] by both Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence[36][37] and more specifically by Buddhist concepts,[38] Aung San Suu Kyi entered politics to work for democratization, helped found the National League for Democracy on 27 September 1988,[39] but was put under house arrest on 20 July 1989. Offered freedom if she left the country, she refused.
One of her most famous speeches was "Freedom From Fear", which began: "It is not power that corrupts, but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it."
She also believes fear spurs many world leaders to lose sight of their purpose. "Government leaders are amazing", she once said. "So often it seems they are the last to know what the people want."[40]
In 1990, the military junta called a general election, in which the National League for Democracy (NLD) received 59% of the votes, guaranteeing NLD 80% of the parliament seats. Some claim that Aung San Suu Kyi would have assumed the office of Prime Minister;[41] in fact, however, as she wasn't permitted, she did not stand as a candidate in the elections (although being a MP isn't a strict prerequisite for becoming PM in most parliamentary systems). Instead, the results were nullified and the military refused to hand over power, resulting in an international outcry. Aung San Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest at her home on University Avenue (16°49′32″N 96°9′1″E / 16.82556°N 96.15028°E / 16.82556; 96.15028) in Rangoon, during which time she was awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990, and the Nobel Peace Prize the year after. Her sons Alexander and Kim accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on her behalf. Aung San Suu Kyi used the Nobel Peace Prize's 1.3 million USD prize money to establish a health and education trust for the Burmese people.[42] Around this time, Suu Kyi chose non-violence as an expedient political tactic, stating in 2007, "I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons,"[43] however, nonviolent action as well as civil resistance in lieu of armed conflict are also political tactics in keeping with the overall philosophy of her Theravada Buddhist religion.
On 9 November 1996, the motorcade that she was traveling in with other National League for Democracy leaders Tin Oo and U Kyi Maung, was attacked in Yangon. About 200 men swooped down on the motorcade, wielding metal chains, metal batons, stones and other weapons. The car that Aung San Suu Kyi was in had its rear window smashed, and the car with Tin Oo and U Kyi Maung had its rear window and two backdoor windows shattered. It is believed the offenders were members of the Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA) who were allegedly paid 500 kyats (@ USD $0.5) each to participate. The NLD lodged an official complaint with the police, and according to reports the government launched an investigation, but no action was taken. (Amnesty International 120297)[44]
Aung San Suu Kyi has been placed under house arrest for 15 of the past 21 years, on different occasions, since she began her political career,[45] during which time she was prevented from meeting her party supporters and international visitors. In an interview, Suu Kyi said that while under house arrest she spent her time reading philosophy, politics and biographies that her husband had sent her.[46] She also passed the time playing the piano, and was occasionally allowed visits from foreign diplomats as well as from her personal physician.[47]
The media were also prevented from visiting Suu Kyi, as occurred in 1998 when journalist Maurizio Giuliano, after photographing her, was stopped by customs officials who then confiscated all his films, tapes and some notes.[48] In contrast, Suu Kyi did have visits from government representatives, such as during her autumn 1994 house arrest when she met the leader of Burma, General Than Shwe and General Khin Nyunt on 20 September in the first meeting since she had been placed in detention.[26] On several occasions during Suu Kyi's house arrest, she had periods of poor health and as a result was hospitalized.[49]
The Burmese government detained and kept Suu Kyi imprisoned because it viewed her as someone "likely to undermine the community peace and stability" of the country, and used both Article 10(a) and 10(b) of the 1975 State Protection Act (granting the government the power to imprison people for up to five years without a trial),[50] and Section 22 of the "Law to Safeguard the State Against the Dangers of Those Desiring to Cause Subversive Acts" as legal tools against her.[51] She continuously appealed her detention,[52] and many nations and figures continued to call for her release and that of 2,100 other political prisoners in the country.[53][54] On 12 November 2010, days after the junta-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) won elections conducted after a gap of almost 20 years, the junta finally agreed to sign orders allowing Suu Kyi's release,[55] and Suu Kyi's house arrest term came to an end on 13 November 2010.
The UN has attempted to facilitate dialogue between the junta and Suu Kyi.[56] On 6 May 2002, following secret confidence-building negotiations led by the UN, the government released her; a government spokesman said that she was free to move "because we are confident that we can trust each other". Aung San Suu Kyi proclaimed "a new dawn for the country". However on 30 May 2003 in an incident similar to the 1996 attack on her, a government-sponsored mob attacked her caravan in the northern village of Depayin, murdering and wounding many of her supporters.[57] Aung San Suu Kyi fled the scene with the help of her driver, Ko Kyaw Soe Lin, but was arrested upon reaching Ye-U. The government imprisoned her at Insein Prison in Rangoon. After she underwent a hysterectomy in September 2003,[58] the government again placed her under house arrest in Rangoon.
The results from the UN facilitation have been mixed; Razali Ismail, UN special envoy to Burma, met with Aung San Suu Kyi. Ismail resigned from his post the following year, partly because he was denied re-entry to Burma on several occasions.[59] Several years later in 2006, Ibrahim Gambari, UN Undersecretary-General (USG) of Department of Political Affairs, met with Aung San Suu Kyi, the first visit by a foreign official since 2004.[60] He also met with Suu Kyi later the same year.[61] On 2 October 2007 Gambari returned to talk to her again after seeing Than Shwe and other members of the senior leadership in Naypyidaw.[62] State television broadcast Suu Kyi with Gambari, stating that they had met twice. This was Suu Kyi's first appearance in state media in the four years since her current detention began.[63]
The United Nations Working Group for Arbitrary Detention published an Opinion that Aung San Suu Kyi's deprivation of liberty was arbitrary and in contravention of Article 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948, and requested that the authorities in Burma set her free, but the authorities ignored the request at that time.[64] The U.N. report said that according to the Burmese Government's reply, "Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has not been arrested, but has only been taken into protective custody, for her own safety", and while "it could have instituted legal action against her under the country's domestic legislation ... it has preferred to adopt a magnanimous attitude, and is providing her with protection in her own interests."[64]
Such claims were rejected by Brig-General Khin Yi, Chief of Myanmar Police Force (MPF). On 18 January 2007, the state-run paper New Light of Myanmar accused Suu Kyi of tax evasion for spending her Nobel Prize money outside of the country. The accusation followed the defeat of a US-sponsored United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Burma as a threat to international security; the resolution was defeated because of strong opposition from China, which has strong ties with the military junta (China later voted against the resolution, along with Russia and South Africa).[65]
In November 2007, it was reported that Suu Kyi would meet her political allies National League for Democracy along with a government minister. The ruling junta made the official announcement on state TV and radio just hours after UN special envoy Ibrahim Gambari ended his second visit to Burma. The NLD confirmed that it had received the invitation to hold talks with Suu Kyi.[66] However, the process delivered few concrete results.
On 3 July 2009, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon went to Burma to pressure the junta into releasing Suu Kyi and to institute democratic reform. However, on departing from Burma, Ban Ki-moon said he was "disappointed" with the visit after junta leader Than Shwe refused permission for him to visit Suu Kyi, citing her ongoing trial. Ban said he was "deeply disappointed that they have missed a very important opportunity."[67]
Protests led by Buddhist monks began on 19 August 2007 following steep fuel price increases, and continued each day, despite the threat of a crackdown by the military.[73]
On 22 September 2007, although still under house arrest, Suu Kyi made a brief public appearance at the gate of her residence in Yangon to accept the blessings of Buddhist monks who were marching in support of human rights.[74] It was reported that she had been moved the following day to Insein Prison (where she had been detained in 2003),[75][76][77][78] but meetings with UN envoy Ibrahim Gambari near her Rangoon home on 30 September and 2 October established that she remained under house arrest.[79][80]
On 3 May 2009, an American man, identified as John Yettaw, swam across Inya Lake to her house uninvited and was arrested when he made his return trip three days later.[81] He had attempted to make a similar trip two years earlier, but for unknown reasons was turned away.[82] He later claimed at trial that he was motivated by a divine vision requiring him to notify her of an impending terrorist assassination attempt.[83] On 13 May, Suu Kyi was arrested for violating the terms of her house arrest because the swimmer, who pleaded exhaustion, was allowed to stay in her house for two days before he attempted the swim back. Suu Kyi was later taken to Insein Prison, where she could have faced up to five years confinement for the intrusion.[84] The trial of Suu Kyi and her two maids began on 18 May and a small number of protesters gathered outside.[85][86] Diplomats and journalists were barred from attending the trial; however, on one occasion, several diplomats from Russia, Thailand and Singapore and journalists were allowed to meet Suu Kyi.[87] The prosecution had originally planned to call 22 witnesses.[88] It also accused John Yettaw of embarrassing the country.[89] During the ongoing defence case, Suu Kyi said she was innocent. The defence was allowed to call only one witness (out of four), while the prosecution was permitted to call 14 witnesses. The court rejected two character witnesses, NLD members Tin Oo and Win Tin, and permitted the defense to call only a legal expert.[90] According to one unconfirmed report, the junta was planning to, once again, place her in detention, this time in a military base outside the city.[91] In a separate trial, Yettaw said he swam to Suu Kyi's house to warn her that her life was "in danger".[92] The national police chief later confirmed that Yettaw was the "main culprit" in the case filed against Suu Kyi.[93] According to aides, Suu Kyi spent her 64th birthday in jail sharing biryani rice and chocolate cake with her guards.[94]
Her arrest and subsequent trial received worldwide condemnation by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations Security Council,[95] Western governments,[96] South Africa,[97] Japan[98] and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, of which Burma is a member.[99] The Burmese government strongly condemned the statement, as it created an "unsound tradition"[100] and criticised Thailand for meddling in its internal affairs.[101] The Burmese Foreign Minister Nyan Win was quoted in the state-run newspaper New Light of Myanmar as saying that the incident "was trumped up to intensify international pressure on Burma by internal and external anti-government elements who do not wish to see the positive changes in those countries' policies toward Burma".[89] Ban responded to an international campaign[102] by flying to Burma to negotiate, but Than Shwe rejected all of his requests.[103]
On 11 August 2009 the trial concluded with Suu Kyi being sentenced to imprisonment for three years with hard labour. This sentence was commuted by the military rulers to further house arrest of 18 months.[104] On 14 August, U.S. Senator Jim Webb visited Burma, visiting with junta leader Gen. Than Shwe and later with Suu Kyi. During the visit, Webb negotiated Yettaw's release and deportation from Burma.[105] Following the verdict of the trial, lawyers of Suu Kyi said they would appeal against the 18-month sentence.[106] On 18 August, United States President Barack Obama asked the country's military leadership to set free all political prisoners, including Aung San Suu Kyi.[107] In her appeal, Aung San Suu Kyi had argued that the conviction was unwarranted. However, her appeal against the August sentence was rejected by a Burmese court on 2 October 2009. Although the court accepted the argument that the 1974 constitution, under which she had been charged, was null and void, it also said the provisions of the 1975 security law, under which she has been kept under house arrest, remained in force. The verdict effectively meant that she would be unable to participate in the elections scheduled to take place in 2010 – the first in Burma in two decades. Her lawyer stated that her legal team would pursue a new appeal within 60 days.[108]
It was announced prior to the Burmese general election that Aung San Suu Kyi may be released "so she can organize her party,"[109] However, Suu Kyi was not allowed to run.[110] On 1 October 2010 the government announced that she would be released on 13 November 2010.[111]
Burma's relaxing stance, such as releasing political prisoners, was influenced in the wake of successful recent diplomatic visits by the US and other democratic governments, urging or encouraging the Burmese towards democratic reform. U.S. President Barack Obama personally advocated for the release of all political prisoners, especially Aung San Suu Kyi, during the US-ASEAN Summit of 2009.[112]
Democratic governments[which?] hoped that successful general elections would be an optimistic indicator of the Burmese government's sincerity towards eventual democracy.[113] The Hatoyama government which spent 2.82 billion yen in 2008, has promised more Japanese foreign aid to encourage Burma to release Aung San Suu Kyi in time for the elections; and to continue moving towards democracy and the rule of law.[113][114]
In a personal letter to Suu Kyi, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown cautioned the Burmese government of the potential consequences of rigging elections as "condemning Burma to more years of diplomatic isolation and economic stagnation".[115]
The Burmese government has been granting Suu Kyi varying degrees of freedom throughout late 2009, in response to international pressure. She has met with many heads of state, and opened a dialog with the Minister of Labor Aung Kyi (not to be confused with Aung San Suu Kyi).[116]
Suu Kyi was allowed to meet with senior members of her NLD party at the State House,[117] however these meeting took place under close supervision.
On the evening of 13 November 2010, Suu Kyi was released from house arrest.[118] This was the date her detention had been set to expire according to a court ruling in August 2009[119] and came six days after a widely criticized general election. She appeared in front of a crowd of her supporters, who rushed to her house in Rangoon when nearby barricades were removed by the security forces. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate had been detained for 15 of the past 21 years.[120] The government newspaper New Light of Myanmar reported the release positively,[121] saying she had been granted a pardon after serving her sentence "in good conduct".[122] The New York Times suggested that the military government may have released Suu Kyi because it felt it was in a confident position to control her supporters after the election.[121] The role that Suu Kyi will play in the future of democracy in Burma remains a subject of much debate.
Her son Kim Aris was granted a visa in November 2010 to see his mother shortly after her release, for the first time in 10 years.[123] He visited again in 5 July 2011, to accompany her on a trip to Bagan, her first trip outside Yangon since 2003.[124] Her son visited again in 8 August 2011, to accompany her on a trip to Pegu, her second trip.[125]
Discussions were held between Suu Kyi and the Burmese government during 2011, which led to a number of official gestures to meet her demands. In October, around a tenth of Burma's political prisoners were freed in an amnesty and trade unions were legalised.[126][127]
In November 2011, following a meeting of its leaders, the NLD announced its intention to re-register as a political party in order contend 48 by-elections necessitated by the promotion of parliamentarians to ministerial rank.[128] Following the decision, Suu Kyi held a telephone conference with U.S. President Barack Obama, in which it was agreed that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would make a visit to Burma, a move received with caution by Burma's ally China.[129] On 1 December 2011, Suu Kyi met with Hillary Clinton at the residence of the top-ranking US diplomat in Yangon.[130]
On 21 December 2011, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra met Suu Kyi in Yangoon, becoming Suu Kyi's "first-ever meeting with the leader of a foreign country".[131]
On 5 January 2012, British Foreign Minister William Hague met Aung San Suu Kyi and his Burmese counterpart. This represented a significant visit for Suu Kyi and Burma. Suu Kyi studied in the UK and maintains many ties there, whilst Britain is Burma's largest bilateral donor.
In December 2011, there was speculation that Suu Kyi would run in the 2012 national by-elections to fill vacant seats.[132] On 18 January 2012, Suu Kyi formally registered to contest a Pyithu Hluttaw (lower house) seat in the Kawhmu Township constituency in special parliamentary elections to be held on 1 April 2012.[133][134] The seat was previously held by Soe Tint, who vacated it after being appointed Construction Deputy Minister, in the 2010 election.[135] She ran against Union Solidarity and Development Party candidate Soe Min, a retired army physician and native of Twante Township.[136]
On 3 March 2012, at a large campaign rally in Mandalay, Suu Kyi unexpectedly left after 15 minutes, because of exhaustion and airsickness.[137]
In an official campaign speech broadcast on Burmese state television's MRTV on 14 March 2012, Suu Kyi publicly campaigned for reform of the 2008 Constitution, removal of restrictive laws, more adequate protections for people's democratic rights, and establishment of an independent judiciary.[138] The speech was leaked online a day before it was broadcast.[139] A paragraph in the speech, focusing on the Tatmadaw's repression by means of law, was censored by authorities.[140]
Suu Kyi has also called for international media to monitor the upcoming by-elections, while publicly pointing out irregularities in official voter lists, which include deceased individuals and exclude other eligible voters in the contested constituencies.[141][142] On 21 March 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi was quoted as saying "Fraud and rule violations are continuing and we can even say they are increasing."[143]
When asked whether she would assume a ministerial post if given the opportunity, she said the following:[144]
I can tell you one thing – that under the present constitution, if you become a member of the government you have to vacate your seat in the national assembly. And I am not working so hard to get into parliament simply to vacate my seat.
On 26 March 2012, Suu Kyi suspended her nationwide campaign tour early, after a campaign rally in Myeik (Mergui), a coastal town in the south, citing health problems due to exhaustion and hot weather.[145]
On 1 April 2012, the NLD announced that Suu Kyi had won the vote for a seat in Parliament.[146] A news broadcast on state-run MRTV, reading the announcements of the Union Election Commission, confirmed her victory, as well as her party's victory in 43 of the 45 contested seats, officially making Suu Kyi the Leader of the Opposition in the lower house.[147]
Although she and other MP-elects were expected to take office on 23 April when the Hluttaws resume session, National League for Democracy MP-elects, including Suu Kyi, said they might not take their oaths because of its wording; in its present form, parliamentarians must vow to "safeguard" the constitution.[148][149] In an address on Radio Free Asia, she said "We don't mean we will not attend the parliament, we mean we will attend only after taking the oath... Changing that wording in the oath is also in conformity with the Constitution. I don't expect there will be any difficulty in doing it."[150]
On 2 May 2012, National League for Democracy MP-elects, including Aung San Suu Kyi, took their oaths and took office, though the wording of the oath was not changed. [151] According to the Los Angeles Times, "Suu Kyi and her colleagues decided they could do more by joining as lawmakers than maintaining their boycott on principle." [152]
Aung San Suu Kyi has received vocal support from Western nations in Europe,[153] Australia[153] and North[154] and South America, as well as India,[4] Israel,[155] Japan[156] the Philippines and South Korea.[157] In December 2007, the US House of Representatives voted unanimously 400–0 to award Aung San Suu Kyi the Congressional Gold Medal; the Senate concurred on 25 April 2008.[158] On 6 May 2008, President George Bush signed legislation awarding Suu Kyi the Congressional Gold Medal.[159] She is the first recipient in American history to receive the prize while imprisoned. More recently, there has been growing criticism of her detention by Burma's neighbours in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, particularly from Indonesia,[160] Thailand,[161] the Philippines[162][163] and Singapore.[164] At one point Malaysia warned Burma that it faced expulsion from ASEAN as a result of the detention of Suu Kyi.[165] Other nations including South Africa,[166] Bangladesh[167] and the Maldives[168] also called for her release. The United Nations has urged the country to move towards inclusive national reconciliation, the restoration of democracy, and full respect for human rights.[169] In December 2008, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution condemning the human rights situation in Burma and calling for Suu Kyi's release—80 countries voting for the resolution, 25 against and 45 abstentions.[170] Other nations, such as China and Russia, are less critical of the regime and prefer to cooperate only on economic matters.[171] Indonesia has urged China to push Burma for reforms.[172] However, Samak Sundaravej, former Prime Minister of Thailand, criticised the amount of support for Suu Kyi, saying that "Europe uses Aung San Suu Kyi as a tool. If it's not related to Aung San Suu Kyi, you can have deeper discussions with Myanmar."[173]
Vietnam, however, did not support calls by other ASEAN member states for Myanmar to free Aung San Suu Kyi, state media reported Friday, 14 August 2009.[174] The state-run Việt Nam News said Vietnam had no criticism of Myanmar's decision 11 August 2009 to place Suu Kyi under house arrest for the next 18 months, effectively barring her from elections scheduled for 2010. "It is our view that the Aung San Suu Kyi trial is an internal affair of Myanmar", Vietnamese government spokesman Le Dung stated on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In contrast with other ASEAN member states, Dung said Vietnam has always supported Myanmar and hopes it will continue to implement the "roadmap to democracy" outlined by its government.[175]
Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. The decision of the Nobel Committee mentions:[176]
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar (Burma) for her non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights....Suu Kyi's struggle is one of the most extraordinary examples of civil courage in Asia in recent decades. She has become an important symbol in the struggle against oppression...
...In awarding the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to honour this woman for her unflagging efforts and to show its support for the many people throughout the world who are striving to attain democracy, human rights and ethnic conciliation by peaceful means.—Oslo, 14 October 1991
Nobel Peace Prize winners (Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama, Shirin Ebadi, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, Mairead Corrigan, Rigoberta Menchú, Prof. Elie Wiesel, U.S. President Barack Obama, Betty Williams, Jody Williams and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter) called for the rulers of Burma to release Suu Kyi in order to "create the necessary conditions for a genuine dialogue with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all concerned parties and ethnic groups in order to achieve an inclusive national reconciliation with the direct support of the United Nations."[56] Some of the money she received as part of the award helps fund London-based charity Prospect Burma, which provides higher education grants to Burmese students.[177]
On May 21, 2012, it was announced that Aung San Suu Kyi would finally deliver her traditional Nobel lecture at Oslo's City Hall, two decades after receiving the peace prize.[178]

January 2009
Posted By Caroline Moore On June 8, 2009 @ 10:52 am In | Comments Disabled
Dear Colleagues,
When one year ends and another begins, most of us pause to reflect and to look forward to the year ahead. That is perhaps more true than ever as we transition to 2009 with the hope of better things to come in terms of our national and state economy, unrest and violence around the world, and the general malaise that accompanies difficult times. While UMaine, like every other public institution, faces its share of challenges, I continue to be optimistic about our university and its future. We have a committed, talented, hard-working faculty and staff that are second to none and — as the calendar turns to 2009 — I am most grateful for the immense contributions of each member of our community. Let me provide a few December highlights here, along with a reminder that more UMaine achievements are highlighted at www.umaine.edu/insideumaine [1].
Congratulations to Lu Zeph, director of UMaine's Center for Community Inclusion and Disability Studies and a member of UMaine's education faculty, on a recent award for the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD). That organization recognized Lu for six years of outstanding service on its board of directors, including a year as president. AUCD, like UMaine, has benefited greatly from Lu's expertise and her leadership.
Several other UMaine faculty members have also been noted for their scholarly work in the past few weeks.
Sara Lindsay from UMaine's School of Marine Sciences faculty was featured in a recent edition of Scientific American for her work creating scientific images of tiny marine worms using confocal microscopy. These images, which Sara uses to create three-dimensional pictures, were recognized in competitions sponsored by Nikon and Olympus.
Speaking of microscopes, professors Sam Hess and Julie Gosse. along with research scientist Manasa Gudheti and graduate students Travis Gould and Mudalige Gunewardene, have created a new microscope system that allows for new ways of looking at the molecular structures of cells. This system allows scientists to gain new insights into the ways viruses interface with cells, allowing infection to occur. This kind of innovation has potentially significant ramifications for human health. This research, which also involves colleagues in new York and Maryland, was published in the journal Nature Methods.
Another scientific journal article, published in the Public Library of Science's PLOS Pathogens, details research by UMaine microbiology professor Robert Wheeler and colleagues at MIT's Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. They have made significant progress in studies related to infections caused by the fungus Candida albicans,. This research has clinical significance because those infections kill more than 30 percent of those it infects.
Congratulations to University of Maine Press Director Michael Alpert and all those involved with the recent publication of the first-ever Passamaquoddy-Maliseet dictionary. UMaine hosted an Honoring Ceremony in recognition of the release of the book on Dec. 10. More than 30 years in the making, this invaluable Native language source represents a wonderful achievement for all involved in its development and creation.
Another scholarly effort, this one centered at UMaine's Canadian American Center, has received a good deal of attention during the past several days. Senior Cartographer Michael Hermann, working with a colleague at Ohio University, has created a 40-inch by 60-inch bilingual map, "They Would Not Take Me There: People, Places, and Stories from Champlain's Travels in Canada, 1603-1616." The map which describes the 13 years, during the 1600s, when Champlain traveled in the St. Lawrence River valley looking for the Northwest Passage. Prof. Ray Pelletier also worked on the project, providing translation.
Coordinated and hosted by UMaine's Hudson Museum, the annual Maine Indian Basketmakers Sale and Demonstration was a great success once again this year. This was the 15th year UMaine has hosted this interesting event, which also features great opportunities for participants to learn more about our state's culture and history. For the second year, with the Maine Center for the Arts under construction, the event was held in UMaine's Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
That facility has been recognized with another award for its design and functionality. The Rec Center is one of ten building projects from throughout the U.S. and Canada to receive a 2008 Athletic Business Facility of Merit Award from Athletic business Magazine. This is the seventh, and most prestigious, design award for this building since it opened in August 2007.
It was a genuine pleasure for me to participate in the recent dedication of the Burt Hatlen Seminar Room in Neville Hall. This wonderful facility will provide a real boost to the National Poetry Foundation and the English Department. It provides a fitting tribute to Burt, whose legacy is assured by the excellent work of his many UMaine friends and colleagues, so many of whom point to him as a role model and mentor.
The Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center's Distinguished Policy Fellows program continues to provide wonderful opportunities for UMaine to host political and policy leaders on campus. Rep. Joshua Tardy, a UMaine graduate who serves as GOP leader in the Maine House, visited in December and spent the day meeting with students and others while learning first-hand about some of the ways UMaine is working to help improve the state's economy. Mary Cathcart does a wonderful job organizing this program and those who visit always tell us how much they have benefited from the experience.
Congratulations to Prof. Chip Farnham, his School of Performing Arts colleagues and the UMaine Symphonic Band for a well-received joint concert with the Bangor High School Band at that school's Peakes Auditorium. The concert also provided the opportunity to welcome back saxophonist Christopher Strange, a University of Kentucky doctoral candidate who graduated from UMaine in 2001. His presence, and the concert itself, presented a nice way for UMaine faculty and students to demonstrate to area young people the opportunities that come with studying in the arts at UMaine.
My thanks go to all the student and faculty/staff organizations that worked so hard during the holiday season to assist the many community service agencies that do such wonderful work in the local area. We are fortunate to be surrounded by so many kind and caring people, and we can take great pride in the role UMaine's people play in making life a little easier for our friends and neighbors. One outstanding example was the work of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) in coordinating a Toys for Tots effort, collecting gifts for area children at several home games.
For the second consecutive year, bragging rights go to UMaine's Navy ROTC cadets, who beat the Army ROTC in a flag football game just days before the service academies squared off in their traditional contest. The UMaine cadets play inside UMaine's Mahaney Dome, at 6 a.m. on a Wednesday morning, but we're told that spirits are high and the competition is fierce but friendly — despite the lack of national television coverage!
While we certainly have some challenges ahead as we work together to deal with our budget realities, we can all be encouraged by the fact that there is so much excellence in our midst. As I prepare these messages each month, I take great pride in our community's achievements and I appreciate that each of you contributes in a meaningful way.
With best wishes for a Happy New Year,
Bob Kennedy

SEE ALSO: Former fire company official guilty of embezzlement
Lewisberry Community Fire Co.'s last president is accused of damaging the fire station after the inactive fire company had already sold the building to Lewisberry Borough.
Dennis A. Beck, 44, of 450 Ridge Road in Newberry Township, is charged with second-degree misdemeanor criminal mischief. A preliminary hearing is currently set for May 16, according to court records.
Charging documents indicate Beck and others were preparing to remove large items such as appliances from the station's kitchen after the company no longer owned the building.
On Nov. 13, Newberry Township police officers went to the 105 W. Front St. station and ordered the members of the fire company to stop.
"The situation at that time was just to stop any other damage and to keep the peace," charging documents state.
Officers found "the big items" had already been removed from the kitchen and put in the garage, and the building had been damaged in the process, police allege.
Pipes, wires: Damage was mostly in the kitchen area, documents state; gas and drain pipes were cut and broken, electrical wires were cut and drywall was damaged.
It cost the borough's insurance company $2,680 to have the damage repaired, police said.
"Our position is that (Beck) directed all of the removals and did engage in some of the cutting and ripping of electrical lines, etc.
Officers tried to resolve the issue by convincing members of the former fire company to pay for the damage they allegedly caused, according to the chief.
"It just didn't work out," Snyder said, and charges were filed against Beck on April 19.
Civil matter? Beck's Carlisle-based attorney, Nathan Wolf, said the fire company also made unsuccessful efforts to resolve the matter. He said there's "certainly a question" whether the dispute should be in civil court instead of criminal court.
"Any damage that was caused to that building was unintentional and was done in the process of removing items that were honestly believed to be the property of the fire company and not the borough," he said. "Putting Mr. Beck up as the scapegoat for all the harm done was wholly inappropriate."
The company was relying on volunteers to pack up company property and move it from the station, he said.
No intent: "If there were errors in judgment made, there was no intent (to cause damage)," he said. "We're hopeful this will see some reasonable resolution."
Although the company no longer provides fire service, its charter is still in place and it still exists as an entity, Wolf said.
Travis Fuhrman, Lewisberry Fire Co.'s last chief, has said embezzlement -- allegedly committed by two former members -- sent the company into a tailspin. The fire station was sold to the borough by the alleged embezzlers as a way to pay back debt, Fuhrman has said.
Guilty plea: On April 19, former fire company president Jennifer Lou Cassada, 38, of 308 N. Third St. in Rio Grande, N.J., pleaded guilty to theft and related charges for the embezzlement.
She was sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to pay $11,815.52 in restitution, according to court records.
Her co-defendant, Markwood C. Albright II, 37, of 303 Harrisburg Pike in Dillsburg, has a pretrial conference scheduled for May 3. Albright was a former Lewisberry fire chief.
Hopes for merger: Some fire company members hope that if the company receives restitution and clears up the small amount of debt that still exists, there's a possibility of a merger into an active fire company in the area, according to Wolf.
"Then they would bring along with them much more than baggage," he said.
A significant amount of the company's equipment and apparatus remain in storage, Wolf said.

Posted 5:00 PM 3/1/2013 : Legoland Master Builder shares theme park secrets
CARLSBAD - If you're already looking ahead to that next family getaway there is a good chance LEGOLAND California may be on the list of possible spots. Those larger than life creations are big draws for Tusconans, and behind every sculpture is a master model builder.
Builders like Ryan Ziegelbauer, who has been playing with LEGOs since he was three years old. He got a job building and designing with the Carlsbad theme park about three years ago, and recently shared some of his expertise and experience with News 4 Tucson.
Several of his projects are displayed throughout the LEGOLAND property. He says each model starts as a design meant to go along with a specific theme. Master builders then bring the designs to life, but not before passing an intense series of tests and competitions.
"They judge you on everything from your creativity, to part use, how fast you can build something," Ziegelbauer said.
Some of the models can take more than a year to construct. For instance one of Ziegelbauer's favorites is a 4,000 pound dragon made of more than 400,000 LEGO bricks. It had to be lifted into place with a crane.
Right now the park is busy preparing for the grand opening of it's LEGOLAND California Resort. The country's first LEGO-themed hotel is set to open April 5.

CLINTON – Coals and ashes placed in a garbage can are being blamed for a fire at a home here Wednesday morning that caused about $200,000 damage.
Clinton City fire crews were dispatched to the home at 2841 W. 1010 North at 12:50 a.m. on Wednesday after a neighbor called in the alarm, said Clinton Deputy Fire Chief Justin Benavides. The family was able to escape the home and firefighters rescued the family's two dogs. It took crews about 40 minutes to knock the flames down. Crews remained until about 3 a.m. cleaning up.
When crews arrived, flames were coming from a pickup truck and a toy hauler trailer. Benavides said the homeowner had ammunition and a propane tank stored in the trailer. The heat from the fire caused the ammunition to explode around emergency crews, but no one was hurt.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but Benavides said the homeowner had placed coals and ashes from the fireplace in a bucket the day before After 24 hours, he dumped the ashes into the garbage can, but there were still hot spots in the ashes, which likely caused the fire, Benavides said.

The Right Rev. Prof. Emeritus Emmanuel Martey, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, has expressed concern about the rampant reports of corruption plaguing the nation saying the issue was due to lack of integrity among leaders. He has therefore called on Christians to go into politics and disregard the notion that politics was dirty and not for Christians.

Dr. Shile is Medical Director of the Susan G. Komen Breast Center, Peoria, IL.
Computer-aided detection (CAD) has the potential to improve the practice of screening mammography significantly. While current clinical trials will help define how this technology will enhance the diagnostic efficacy of screening mammography, there is little information on how CAD will affect workload in radiology practices. A study was performed of two suburban, general radiology practices to examine the impact of CAD on the workload of the radiologists and technologists.
Practice sites--Both radiology practices offer breast imaging services and are staffed by radiologists, who subspecialize in breast imaging, and dedicated breast imaging technologists. Screening mammograms are batch read by the interpreting radiologists several times a day.
CAD technology--The study examined the use of the Second Look* (CADx, Laval, Quebec, Canada) computer-aided detection system. Exam films are batch loaded into the system's digitizer for computer processing. The system's output, known as a Mammagraph, is a paper printout of the screening exam with potentially suspicious masses and microcalcifications identified in the exam images. This output serves as a reading aide to the interpreting radiologist and can be thought of as an independent second opinion to be consulted during exam interpretation.
Data collection--Data was collected in order to identify the amount of additional time required by technical staff and radiologists to process and interpret exams as a result of their use of this CAD technology. Timing data were collected using videocameras mounted in technologists' processing areas (where the Second Look devices were located) and screening mammography reading areas. Videotapes were analyzed by a Mammography Quality Standards Act and board-certified radiologist.
Radiologists--Under institutional review board approved protocols, two radiologists were studied during their interpretation of screening mammograms. They both interpreted and reported on 35 consecutive exams from their practices. After completion of their usual exam interpretation and report, they reviewed each exam with the Mammagraph and modified their interpretation and report as needed. For each exam, the total time for interpretation without the aid of the Mammagraph was determined. This included the amount of time spent assessing the exam with a magnification lens, reporting findings, interpretations, and recommendations. The amount of time added to case interpretation as a result of the radiologist's review of the Mammagraph was also determined.
Technologists--Technologists at both study sites were studied while processing cases. Timed events included removing exam films from X-ray film jackets, arranging and identifying films for Second Look processing, loading cases into the film digitizer, and refiling exam films and associated output into x-ray film jackets. The total amount of technologist time spent on these tasks was determined for 35 screening mammograms at each study site.
Data analysis--Mean and standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum process times were calculated for the tasks performed by the radiologists and technologists.
Radiologists--Table 1 lists key events during the radiologists' interpretation of exams without the use of the Mammagraph output. The mean time for case interpretation was 1 minute and 16 seconds, which included 16 seconds of assessment with a magnification lens and 16 seconds of case reporting. On average, the use of Second Look technology required an additional 17 seconds per case of a radiologist's time, with a minimum of 3 seconds per case and a maximum of 38 seconds per case (Table 2).
Technologists--On average, an additional 1 minute and 21 seconds of technologist's time was required for case processing by Second Look (Table 3).
This study was performed to assess incremental changes in workloads that occur with the use of Second Look CAD technology in screening mammography. For radiologists, average case interpretation time increased from 1 minute, 16 seconds to 1 minute, 33 seconds; an additional 17 seconds. Compared to other events that occur during exam interpretation, it is interesting to note that the work effort created by the use of Second Look is roughly equivalent to that required to assess an exam with a magnification lens, 16 seconds. If its diagnostic efficacy is equally great, one can speculate that CAD will be as essential in mammography interpretation as the magnification lens is today. Clinical trials currently in progress should help to address this issue.
The additional amount of time needed by technologists to implement Second Look CAD technology was 1 minute, 21 seconds. Thus, in facilities where screening mammograms are scheduled at 15 to 20 minute intervals, the findings suggest that technologists can implement the technology as they perform patient exams without any change in patient throughput.
This study was designed to determine the additional amount of time that is required by radiologists and technologists to use computer-aided detection in screening mammography. On average, CAD adds an additional 17 seconds of radiologist's time to the interpretation of a screening exam. This is about the same amount of time that the radiologists in this study used the magnifying lens during exam review. CAD also increases technologist's case processing time by an average of 1 minute and 21 seconds per exam. AR
* Second Look is for investigational use only and is currently not for sale in the United States.

text: Magnificent home with possibility of future expansion up to 4500 SF of ground cover (potential of 9000 SF on two floors). Property is located in a spectacular setting in the prestigious, seaside village of Sconset on Nantucket's eastern shore. Surrounded on three sides by pristine conservation land – native grasslands and dunes – ocean views can be enjoyed from every room in the house. As it is protected land, no structure can ever be built in front of the house, thereby ensuring the view. There is a very pleasant front and side yard, with beautifully-groomed hedges and flowering hydrangea in season, as well as a tranquil, lighted "secret garden" – a lovely spot to unwind with a good book.

What grade would you give President Obama after one year in office?
January 26, 2010
Jacque Admire ( in Tonganoxie) says...
"I would give President Obama a B-. The economy was in trouble when he took over. Gitmo and other campaign promises demanded action. He had two wars he couldn't stop and no time to learn about the many other national and international issues. I admire his willingness to act quickly to stabilize the economy. He openly stated he didn't have all the answers but would keep working on better solutions. If he gets a second term, I think we will see an experienced statesman; but right now, it's 'on-the-job training.'" Jacque Admire Tonganoxie
Dennis Bixby ( in Tonganoxie) says...
"I would give him an 'A' for reading teleprompters, an 'A' for fundraising, and a 'B-' in PE because he never stops running from the truth; an 'F' in geography for not knowing Gitmo is a safer place to house and try terrorists; 'F' in math, health, home ec and job creation and spending billions of dollars we don't have on things we don't need. He does however get an 'A' for whining that it is Bush's fault. Bush, by the way, got a C average.
Lindsey Truesdell ( in Tonganoxie) says...
"I don't think I'm qualified or even well-informed enough to give Obama a grade. It seems to me that he hasn't quite lived up to his expectations and campaign promises, but honestly, who does? I feel like too many people are too quick to give him an A+ or a total F rather than really look at him for what he has done. I don't think he's God and I don't think he's the antichrist, so far I'd say he's just another president. So I'd like to give him a C but Change starts with C and there hasn't been a whole lot of that."

Here are a few links to related subjects - tcc, CriTcl, and LuaJIT: http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/tcc/ http://wiki.tcl.tk/2523 http://luajit.luaforge.net/luajit.html But why would you think that just-in-time compilation of C or the like would be central in fixing Second Life's performance problems, rather than just doing a better job of software engineering in general? I know nothing about Second Life, but from your description, if they're looking to change programming languages, Erlang (or something like it) might be the best fit. -- Andrew Piskorski <atp at piskorski.com> http://www.piskorski.com/

Paul belongs to: The Coble and Keelboat Society
Paul was born in Cullercoats. His family were in fishing and merchant navy. Paul got his first boat when he was 13. He has made a living from fishing and sign painting.
Paul was interviewed by Kylea Little on 1 December 2005. The interview took place at the Interviewee's workshop and lasted 38 minutes and 30 seconds.
The crew in the cobles and decline of the fishing industry
"A coble- it was two, maybe three, sometimes one. In the latter years just as things has got tightened, folk cant get crew"
A coble- it was two, maybe three, sometimes one. In the latter years just as things has got tightened, folk cant get crew, just a real problem with crew for a lot of boats- thats the same all over Britain, that like. Things like that been that tight with the industry, with regulation, mostly.
Interviewer: And when you first started going out fishing, was, how the industry then, was it ?
It was pretty lively, like. It was, you know, it was good fishing when I started. Theres a lot, lot more boats than youll ever see now, you know, plus there was a lot of visiting boats, visiting Blyth and Shields- the place was jumping, really. You know, there was big sprat fishing in the winter, there was lot of cod and haddock to get, you know, it was thriving like. A lot of new boats getting built. And then we joined the EC, that was, that was the start of the downhill.
