Not so fast . . Before the president takes time out of his busy schedule to debate Limbaugh or any other critic mouthing off. the GOP leadership needs to decide who speaks lOt' the Republican Party. · White House Chief of Staff Rulun Emanuel's recent observation that "Rush is the leader of the GOP" certainly seems to bave Sllll<:k a raw nerve. Rllhm's c:omment was extremely timely. It got the national media buzzing and the Republicans bogged down in nonsense and infighting. with their supposed le8ders ever-so-gently tiptoeing around Limbaugh's ego in order to whisper tlieir assurances to the world that the big mouth (compliment Rush) is not their ~fuclo lel)der. . Meanwhile, the Democratic Pliny watched the circus from the sidelines. using the ensuing spectacle to .raise millions of dollars · from people who agree with Emunuel.

Known as CEDAW (SEEdaw), the treaty's fonnaJ name is the Convention on the Elimination of All Fonns of Discrimination Against Women. . Since its adoption by the U.N. General Assembly' in 1979, all but eight of the 192. U.N. members have become a P.Ut~ to it - the United States rs on~ of the holdouts. along with Sudan, Somalia, · Qatar. Iran, . Nauru, Palau and Tonga. . This year. with CEDAWsup~rting Democrn~s holding . power m Washinglon , Sen. Barbara Boxer plans a concerted effort to seek ratification as part of her agenda for a new Foreign Relations subcommittee chairmanship overseeing global women's issues. "We've waited long enough:: said Boxer. D~ Calif. "All these years later, there's no ellcuse for not ratifying this criticol conventiOn to shine a light on women's rights around the world. "It's a shame that the U.S. stands with ·countries such as Iran, SudWI and Somalia in failing to ratify the treaty." . As the world observes International Women's Day on Sunday, scores of domestic and global human rights and women's groups are hoping that Boller sue· ceeds. However, the quest for ratification faces not only long-standing opposi· tion from many conserva· tives, but also a relaiively new challense from a vocal faction of hberal activists who fear the treaty will be burdened with ·damaging, politically expedient exceptions. From the right, U.S. opponents of CEDAW contend that ratification could lead to legalize<l prostitulion, increased government interference in family matters, · and abolition of tema!ning restrictions .on abortion. They also question the value of joining a treaty that has been ratified by countries such as Saudi Arabia, where women cannot.vote or drive. "The treaty is worse than useless," .said Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America. "It gives legitimacy to regimes that are committing some of the worst abuses against women." . . Wright promised a vigorous fight against CEDAW. which she depicted as "the Equal Rights Amendment on steroids.'' On the left. there is grow- .

Boxer plans a concerted effort to seek ratification of a United Nations global women's.rights treaty completed 30 years ago as part· of her agenda for a new Foreign Relations subcommittee chairmanship overseeing global women's issues. ing apprehension that Democratic leaders in the Senate, · who need Republican votes to.get the treaty ratified. will be willing to add various reservations. understandings · and declarations - known as RUDs · that ·some · activists feel would be harmful. "It would be an important signal to the world that we adopt this critical conven- · lion without limita.tions that exempt the U.S. from covernge and responsibility for the treatment of women," said Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for . Women. "It sends a kind of 'ugly American' signal that we expect to hold other countries to a standard that we're not willin~ ·to accept for ourselves.' . · Boxer said her subcom- · mittee will start hearings this year with 11 "clean" version of the treaty, but aides said it's almost cer· tain some RUDs ·will be added as a step toward wi.nning enough votes. The subcommittee is awaiting input on that subject from the Obama administration, which sup· · ports the 'treaty. In 1994 and 2002. when . the treaty caine before the Senate but failed to win ratification. a total of II RUDs were added . Among them were stipulations that CEDAW could not compel U.S. women to .serve in military comb11t units. could not be u.sed to inter- fere with private conduct, and could not force the United States to provide paid maternity leave. One of the most contentious RUDs - likely to be revived this year - stip· ulates that nothing . m CEDAW should be interpreted as creating a right to abortion. Janet Benshoof. president of the New York:based Global Justice Center. called this provision "the most deceptive." 'This IWiguage is touted as neutral or benign but is not," she wrote in a recent essay. "This language can and has been used as an anti·abortion weapon." · Because of pressure ' to shy away from abortion. Benshoof said, U.N. and other agencies have even been unwilling to raise the idea of offering abortions to ~iris impregnated by rapists m Sudnn's war-tom Darfur region. . Benshoof contended that a treaty encumbered by such RUDs "poses even mare danger than continued U.S. isolation." Another New Yorkbased women's rishts group. MADRE. has stmi· lar concerns and is launching a campaisn to ~et a •·ctean" verst on ot the treaty ratified . "Most senawrs don't understand that the treuty could actually do harm" if accompunied by ~ertuin reservmions. said Yifut Susskind. MADRE's communkations director. the U.S. to at least be in the game, even with a weaker CEDAW," she said. "I don't buy that argument ... What you're compromising on is so integral that you really would be selling the principles of what you're tryin~ to." Opmions are sharply divided over the tangible impact that CEDAW has had internationally. in part because the committee that monitors treaty compliance cannot enforce its recommendations. Noneth~less. CEDAW supporters say the treaty has b~en valuable in numerous countries ·in expanding property rights and political rights. devel· oping domestic violence policies. and improving education for girls. · The treaty dues not require legalization of pros· titution, although the monitoring committee has rec· ommended decriminaliza· tion in some countries so that women who are .victims of sel\ual slavery and traf· fie king wan 't be deterred from .seeking help from authorities. If Boxer's su.bcommittee votes for rntifyi.ng the treaty, it would. thef\ advance to the full Foreign Relations Committee chaired by Sen. John Kerry. D~Mass . Kerry is "extremely sup· portive of stronger intema- . tiona! frameworks for promoting global equality and women's empowerment," said committee spokesman Frederick Jones . "He is looking at a number of draft bills and international instruments and will support the most effective avenues to accomplish his ideals." On the Net: .

Not so fast . . Before the president takes time out of his busy schedule to debate Limbaugh or any other critic mouthing off. the GOP leadership needs to decide who speaks lOt' the Republican Party. · White House Chief of Staff Rulun Emanuel's recent observation that "Rush is the leader of the GOP" certainly seems to bave Sllll<:k a raw nerve. Rllhm's c:omment was extremely timely. It got the national media buzzing and the Republicans bogged down in nonsense and infighting. with their supposed le8ders ever-so-gently tiptoeing around Limbaugh's ego in order to whisper tlieir assurances to the world that the big mouth (compliment Rush) is not their ~fuclo lel)der. . Meanwhile, the Democratic Pliny watched the circus from the sidelines. using the ensuing spectacle to .raise millions of dollars · from people who agree with Emunuel. As this lwo-ring circus unfolds further 'between Limbaugh and the GOP. Democrats should remain seated Wid silent. in the · ble~~ehers. Why fire your gun aguin when the hrst shot caused your op1;>0nents to fonn 11 cin:ulur hnng squad?

Known as CEDAW (SEEdaw), the treaty's fonnaJ name is the Convention on the Elimination of All Fonns of Discrimination Against Women. . Since its adoption by the U.N. General Assembly' in 1979, all but eight of the 192. U.N. members have become a P.Ut~ to it - the United States rs on~ of the holdouts. along with Sudan, Somalia, · Qatar. Iran, .

Barbara Boxer plans a concerted effort to seek ratification as part of her agenda for a new Foreign Relations subcommittee chairmanship overseeing global women's issues. "We've waited long enough:: said Boxer. D~ Calif. "All these years later, there's no ellcuse for not ratifying this criticol conventiOn to shine a light on women's rights around the world. "It's a shame that the U.S. stands with ·countries such as Iran, SudWI and Somalia in failing to ratify the treaty." . As the world observes International Women's Day on Sunday, scores of domestic and global human rights and women's groups are hoping that Boller sue· ceeds. However, the quest for ratification faces not only long-standing opposi· tion from many conserva· tives, but also a relaiively new challense from a vocal faction of hberal activists who fear the treaty will be burdened with ·damaging, politically expedient exceptions. From the right, U.S. opponents of CEDAW contend that ratification could lead to legalize<l prostitulion, increased government interference in family matters, · and abolition of tema!ning restrictions .on abortion. They also question the value of joining a treaty that has been ratified by countries such as Saudi Arabia, where women cannot.vote or drive. "The treaty is worse than useless," .said Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America. "It gives legitimacy to regimes that are committing some of the worst abuses against women." . . Wright promised a vigorous fight against CEDAW. which she depicted as "the Equal Rights Amendment on steroids.'' On the left. there is grow- .

"It sends a kind of 'ugly American' signal that we expect to hold other countries to a standard that we're not willin~ ·to accept for ourselves.' . · Boxer said her subcom- · mittee will start hearings this year with 11 "clean" version of the treaty, but aides said it's almost cer· tain some RUDs ·will be added as a step toward wi.nning enough votes. The subcommittee is awaiting input on that subject from the Obama administration, which sup· · ports the 'treaty. In 1994 and 2002. when . the treaty caine before the Senate but failed to win ratification. a total of II RUDs were added . Among them were stipulations that CEDAW could not compel U.S. women to .serve in military comb11t units. could not be u.sed to inter- fere with private conduct, and could not force the United States to provide paid maternity leave. One of the most contentious RUDs - likely to be revived this year - stip· ulates that nothing . m CEDAW should be interpreted as creating a right to abortion. Janet Benshoof. president of the New York:based Global Justice Center. called this provision "the most deceptive." 'This IWiguage is touted as neutral or benign but is not," she wrote in a recent essay. "This language can and has been used as an anti·abortion weapon." · Because of pressure ' to shy away from abortion. Benshoof said, U.N. and other agencies have even been unwilling to raise the idea of offering abortions to ~iris impregnated by rapists m Sudnn's war-tom Darfur region. . Benshoof contended that a treaty encumbered by such RUDs "poses even mare danger than continued U.S. isolation." Another New Yorkbased women's rishts group.

What you're compromising on is so integral that you really would be selling the principles of what you're tryin~ to." Opmions are sharply divided over the tangible impact that CEDAW has had internationally. in part because the committee that monitors treaty compliance cannot enforce its recommendations. Noneth~less. CEDAW supporters say the treaty has b~en valuable in numerous countries ·in expanding property rights and political rights. devel· oping domestic violence policies. and improving education for girls. · The treaty dues not require legalization of pros· titution, although the monitoring committee has rec· ommended decriminaliza· tion in some countries so that women who are .victims of sel\ual slavery and traf· fie king wan 't be deterred from .seeking help from authorities. If Boxer's su.bcommittee votes for rntifyi.ng the treaty, it would. thef\ advance to the full Foreign Relations Committee chaired by Sen. John Kerry. D~Mass . Kerry is "extremely sup· portive of stronger intema- . tiona! frameworks for promoting global equality and women's empowerment," said committee spokesman Frederick Jones .

A recent surge of interest in knitting and sewin~ has coincided with the nse of the American G'irl line. u Mattei brand that mt~rkets its dolls as wholesome characters who relish learning, adventure . music and sports. Many of the dolls come with a personal history. complete with a book and history-themed accessories. According to the compuny's Web site. 14 milhon .

I People looking to · save money during the recession are bol)sting sales at the stores. On the flip side, some stores are struggling to keep shelves stocked as demand rises and donations slip. Fewer homeowners are doing the kind of improvement projects that generate donations, and declines in home building have reduced the supply of materials left over from construction jobs. ''The person who was taking out their $4.500 or $5,000 cherry cabinet set, (donating iL) and replacing it with n $10,000 set is not doin·g that now," said Terry Assad , manager of Hab1tat stores in Charlotte, N.C .

Then there are businesses that routinely donate merchandise to ~et it off their sales floors, uems a Habitat store typically will price 50 percent below retail. "They close something out, they quit selling a certuin model," said John Alexander, Habitat e~ecutive in Waco, Texas, where 15 percent of the Ha6itut budget comes from u store built on a former used-car lot.

ReStqre's stock of interior doors is particularly low, as are supplies of lumber. fasteners and cabinets . Voluntary reporting by about 70 percent of the Habitat affiliates in the United States indicates thllt store sales rose 25 percent from 2007 to 2008. and that annual sales exceed $2!)0' million. more than $80 miilion of it available for build. ing houses. said Campbeli. the HaQitat liaison with the building industry.

Harless, the retired fan'ner, blamed the smell a mix of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia for headaches that led him to spend two weeks at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

Growing your own avocados gives ~oo the opportunity to select from a greater number of vaneties than the couple typically found in food markets. · . · Varieties for growing in pots should 1101 only taste ll~ but should be borne on naturally small trees. Three vanelles · that fill this double bill are: Gwen, ripening from March to November; Wwtz (Little Cado). ripening from May to September. and Whitsell. ripenins from February to August. · Cross-pollination. which requues planting at least two trees to get fruit. is not absolutely necessary for avocados, but does increase yields somewhat. Hmmmmm. Planting both Gwen and Whitsell would offer fruit for much of .the year. so why not plant two anyway? Another possibility would be to have a single tree with two - or more - varieties ¥rafted onto it.

Green varieties are ready to pick when their sk.in turns slightly yellowish; dark varieties turn almost black at barvest time. : Fruits ready for harvest can be left hanging on the plant for a few weeks, but not too long or the flavor and texture .
