Evening Hatch Question
Last evening I fished along the lower section of the Little River Trail, above Elkmont. At about 7:30p there were two types of bugs hatching in a flurry of bugs and the fish went into a frenzy. I one pool I counted 15 different fish leaping out of the water in rapid successions. They weren't sipping...they were jumping. First off I was amazed at how many fish were in the pool, but also I couldn't believe how they were acting with reckless abandon.
I have seen little dinks act this way from time to time, but it was usually limited to one or two small fish. This time was much different. There were a few small ones, but many of the fish were pushing 6" or more. What would trigger that behavior and what the heck could I use to catch them? I tried a couple different flies for a few minutes but then just stood there and watched, amazed.
Also, I have never been too deep into entomology, but based on last night's experience, I can see that there are times when matching the hatch it not only helpful, but imperative. You can't always just sling a PA or Stimi and catch fish...
The first type of bug is what I believe was a Yellow Sally. It was yellow, had a forked tail and what looked like two sets of wings while it was flying. All the pictures I see of them are in Nymph form or are resting, so I'm not sure, but I'm reasonably confident on that one.
The other was more of a mystery. It was a mayfly with a mostly translucent body with an orange thorax between size 14 and 16. What was that one?
And regarding the leaping fish. I couldn't tell if they were catching bugs as they were taking off or out of the air (it didn't look like it). In a situation like that what would you try to throw to them?
"Even a fish wouldn't get into trouble if he kept his mouth shut."
My son experienced that same scenario early last June just before dark...he had fish jumping right next to him in one of the pools in the campground....one night we stood on the upper bridge looking upstream and in every pool the fish were leaping out of the water like crazy....hope someone can enlighten us bug challenged feather flingers as to what the fish are actually after.
Little Yellow Stone and Light Hendrickson respectively.
I've never witnessed one of these massive evening hatches yet...all I've seen are a few scattered flies of various sorts. There is one that I saw 2 weeks ago that's bugging me (no pun intended), because I can't seem to determine what exactly it was. It was just about sunset on Straight Fork, almost at the park boundary. There were a lot of small grayish mayflies dropping eggs, but the one that caught my eye was a very large, very light green mayfly - it had to be at least a #12, maybe larger. I'm assuming it was a dun, since the wings were opaque. None of the pictures I have been able to turn up on the 'net quite match it...if anyone might know what it was, I would appreciate it, if just to settle my curiosity.
Go to the website troutnut.com
There is a section for the various insects, including mayflies. It was probably a green drake.
For sally's I like a good ol yellow elk hair caddis in comparable size or you could use Palmers, but in low light having a hair wing would be easier to see...have some orange bodied EHC could help in that multi hatch, or use a hair wing fly like the Harrops pattern which gives a cross profile of both caddis/mayfly to cover bases...
May you find a rise in every puddle... - WATERBORN
I went there...it's a good site for that sort of thing, but I really couldn't find a match there. I don't think it was a Green Drake, primarily because of the stream I was on; for the most part, aren't they limited to Abrams? Plus, it didn't really look like one.
Leapin' lizards
I have seen that behavior on many times on catskill rivers and the streams in Western NY. It almost always is related to caddis activity. Apparently as caddis pupae hatch they make a mad dash toward the surface. This rapid ascent apparent triggers a chase condition as the fish move toward the surface often taking the fly prior to breaking through the surface. I have always had a difficult time catching fish during a caddis hatch. What works for me most often in this situation is a softhackle dead drifted and then lifted toward the surface in a leisering lift type of manuever. I have tried the bubble caddis that LaFontaine made so popular but that never worked for me. A soft hackle with a little antron or something coming from the tail end to look like bubbles as the fly swings up seems to be a pretty good response in that situation.
Now that we met and got to chat a little bit up near Elkmont you can see that I am an absolute novice - don't forget the raingear - and know very little about entomology, BUT I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Talk to ya soon.
I think Hans has it right. I think the mayflies were Hendricksons. They are one of the best hatches of the year and they are presently in full swing. The female spinners return to the stream about dusk to lay their eggs. You will see them dipping their tail in the water to dislodge the eggs from the egg sack at the end of their tail. You will often see fish jumping out of the water at the tail of a pool trying to catch them while they are hovering and egg laying.
I tie a couple of simple parachute patterns to imitate them. I use pink thread and hendrickson pink superfine for the body with a yellow egg sack. I tie both with dun hackle. Light or dark dun, it doesn't seem to matter. Use pink or red thread, it enhances the pink color when it gets wet.
The other one I use a tan biot and some pink superfine for the thorax.
So get you some pink thread and some hendrickson pink superfine dubbing.

I would like to echo adirondack. I have had great success during caddis hatches by imparting a little movement onto my fly. When the fish break the surface by their whole body length, I think it is b/c they get a lot of speed chasing an emerger that is headed to the surface. I have dead drifted an EHC through a bunch of feeding fish and had it ignored, only to be slammed the minute I put some movement on it, either as adirondack suggested by letting it get wet and then pulling it up or by letting the fly swing at the end of the drift.
Life is hard. But it's a lot harder if you're stupid.

Except as an inspiration, noted hotel looks doomed
Leaders look to create a historic core around buildings they might not be able to save.
By LORRI HELFAND, Times Staff Writer
Published August 30, 2007
The future of most historic structures in downtown looks grim, but some city leaders are talking about rebuilding the district to recapture the ambience of yesteryear.
After touring a historic property owned by the city near West Bay Drive and Seminole Boulevard over the weekend, several city leaders agreed it would be too expensive to save the 99-year-old Largo Hotel and a 120-plus-year-old home attached to it.
But at the site where Largo reportedly got its name, they mused about guiding new development in a style modeled on Largo's heyday. And they discussed the idea of rebuilding replicas of historical structures that can't be saved.
It could cost $2-million to move and renovate the Largo Hotel, City Manager Norton "Mac" Craig told the group of about 18 people, which included city leaders, staff and Largo Area Historical Society members who toured the structure Saturday. By contrast, it would cost $29,400 to demolish the hotel and remove asbestos.
"I hate to see it go," city Commissioner Andy Guyette said after the tour. "But I fully understand what they're saying."
Vice Mayor Harriet Crozier also said the buildings should go. But both said the city should find a way to recognize the historic significance of the area.
"We should make it a historic district," Crozier said.
Earlier this month, city leaders talked about saving historic structures and forming a committee to preserve what's left of Largo's history. They plan to discuss historic preservation at a workshop in October.
Largo Area Historical Society president Elmer Williams and former society president Bob Delack said they wished the structures could be saved but understood the costs to do so were prohibitive.
They were just grateful that city leaders were finally willing to take steps to recognize the district.
"That's definitely a move forward," Williams said. "If they build new things in the old style, we can accomplish part of our goal."
The hotel, known as the Hotel Largo, was built in 1908 by F.M. Campbell, the owner of Largo's original feed store. Today it consists of three buildings.
The former Rufus McMullen family home, built years earlier, was attached to the back of the hotel with yet another structure. Historians credit McMullen with naming Largo.
Just south of the property sits the privately owned Johnson Building, also known as the Pinellas Hotel. Built in 1911, it's the city's only site on the National Register of Historic Places.
Decades ago, the hotel was in the hub of downtown. It sat just west of the city's old train depot. On the south end of the property, there was an old camphor tree, where city officials used to meet.
In recent years, the building served as a rooming house until the city purchased it a year ago for $775,000. The city hopes to market the site to a developer.
Outside, the charisma of the historic hotel is still visible. But inside, much of the historic charm is covered with plaster, vinyl and neglect.
The city provided the tour group with masks to prevent inhalation of dust and mold. Without the masks, a faint odor of stale smoke lingered in the air.
After a quick glimpse of the former manager's quarters on the bottom floor, the group was led up the stairs. White bird feathers lined the steps leading to several efficiency-style rooms, some of which were blocked with yellow caution tape. Vinyl sheeting in various colors covered the floor of each tiny room. Some rooms had holes in the walls, where a contractor took samples to test for asbestos, said Charles R. Jordan, the city's public works management analyst.
After leaving the front of the hotel, the group went into a door on the south side of the structure, which led to the former Rufus McMullen House.
Inside there was a small room with brown carpeting and wood paneling on the walls. Adjoining the room was a small kitchen with boarded windows.
Delack, who also toured the hotel a few months ago, said the place appeared more dilapidated than when he was there then.
While the structure likely won't be preserved, the Historical Society is requesting that the city save the columns that adorn the front of the building, the Largo Hotel sign and the banister inside.
With or without the historic hotel and Rufus McMullen House, Delack said he would like to see the area become a historic district because that's where Largo began.
"If you're going to have a historic district in Largo," he said, "this is the only place you should have one."

B.C. Wijemanne, Registar of Finger Prints at Colombo, Ceylon, reports an interesting case that offers a Sinhalese precedent. A burglary was committed at the Meaden bungalow in Ceylon in January, 1942. The only evidence of value was a partial foot print of the latent variety.
The print was processed and photographed. A lengthy search was conducted in the file of offenders' foot prints maintained by the Criminal Investigation Deparment. On August 13, 1943, a foot print record was found in the files, whose pattern was identical with the latent print found at the crime scene. This record was found in a file containing over 700 sets of foot prints. The latent print was identified as that of one Singho Appu, a nortorious burglar.
However, there was nothing in the Ceylon Evidence Ordinance which gave such evidence legal standing, although the Ordinance recognized finger print evidence (Here is an insance where the term dermatoglyhics, used in legislation, would be of incomparable value. HJM)
It was decided to take the foot print evidence into court as a test case. Wijemanne appeared as a government expert. The defense contended that foot prints did not constitute a science, as did finger prints. The prosecution's expert offered photographic enlargements of the evidence with 37 characteristics--which were identical--indicated. The 60-year old defendant was convicted. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court on grounds that the evidence was not sound in law. On January 17, 1945, the conviction was upheld and appeal dismissed.
More early footprint (plantar) cases are forth coming.

Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, I have to tell my colleague that I have never been to Afghanistan. I wish I had so I could see firsthand what is happening, but I must rely on the good information of my colleagues, like the member for New Westminster—Coquitlam in British Columbia, who is our party's defence critic and has given us very accurate reports.
She and others will repeat over and over that, yes, aid and international development projects are important to the people of Afghanistan, but at the rate we are going, we are not going to be able to make a difference or stop the despair and destruction that is happening in that country. We are talking about a ratio of 10:1; for every $10 spent on military activities and countering the insurgents, we are spending $1 on aid.
If we could put some of that money toward international aid and development, we could multiply what the member is talking about. We could make a real difference if we could get some of this money and involve the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, UNICEF, the UN Development Programme, the Peacebuilding Commission, all of these organizations that are determined to make a difference.
We could make such a difference, if we only had a new approach and a different set of priorities.
Government Orders
1:45 p.m.
Bernard Bigras Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to take part today in this debate on Afghanistan. It is a debate that will have significant impact on future generations, the direction of future international relations, and determining the role that Canada should play in our relations with other states with respect to a process that requires that there first be peace.
Today, as the member for Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie, I have the pleasure of rising in this House on behalf of the approximately 105,000 citizens whom I represent and proudly opposing the extension of this mission which, we believe, should end in February 2009.
This is not the first time we have had such emotional debates in this House. I remember the debate about whether or not Canada should participate in the war in Iraq. The Bloc Québécois was the political party in this House that was vigorously opposed to Canadian participation in the Iraq conflict.
I also remember the vote of May 17, 2006, on whether or not to extend the mission in Afghanistan by two years. I remember that in the hours before the vote, I asked myself four questions. Although they were simple questions, they allowed me, as a parliamentarian, to take a decision on whether or not we should extend the mission.
The first question I asked myself on May 17, 2006, was: is Canada's intervention justified, realistic and useful? My second question before voting on May 17, 2006, was: what is the exact nature of Canada's commitment—military or humanitarian? The third question I asked myself on May 17, 2006, was: are the people who are going to risk their lives appropriately equipped to succeed at the mission we want to give them? And the fourth question was: is there a specific strategy for this mission?
Those were the questions I asked myself, as a parliamentarian, before voting in this House on the need to extend the mission in Afghanistan by two years. What was the answer from the Bloc Québécois and the hon. member for Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie? The answer was no to extending the mission.
In reading the questions we asked ourselves at the time of the vote, we find they are echoed in a certain number of reports—published today—on the progress of this mission. The Manley report is very critical of this government's military approach. It clearly says:
It is essential to adjust funding and staffing imbalances between the heavy Canadian military commitment in Afghanistan and the comparatively lighter civilian commitment to reconstruction, development and governance.
Accordingly, our concerns of May 2006, have been validated by the Manley report, which recognizes that there is an imbalance between the military and humanitarian aspects.
In the meantime, should we do nothing? No. We should send a clear message in this House that this mission must end in February 2009. We must pressure this government to take some decisions. First, the government must advise its NATO allies of its intention to withdraw from Afghanistan in February 2009. The message to our allies must be clear. There is no room for compromise.
Canada will leave Afghanistan in February 2009, and our NATO allies need to be informed as quickly as possible.
Second, we need an exit plan. The government must develop a plan, because we cannot just pick up and leave Afghanistan, as though we are packing up our tent after a weekend at Mont Tremblant. That is not what we should do. A responsible government must immediately present a plan for the withdrawal of our troops in February 2009.
Third, in the meantime, we must rebalance the mission to put more emphasis on development assistance resources. According to DND reports, the operating costs for Canada's mission in Afghanistan are upwards of $7.718 million, from 2001 to 2008. We need to reallocate this money to humanitarian assistance. We need to develop capacities for the citizens and for civilian populations. We need to give them the means. In so doing, we will not only succeed in transferring and giving capacities to Afghanistan, but by transferring the money from the military sector to the humanitarian sector, we will also most certainly be able to meet the objective of 0.7% of the GDP for development assistance. This is yet another commitment that Canada is not currently fulfilling.
We must therefore inform our NATO allies that we want to and will withdraw from Afghanistan in February 2009; establish a plan for withdrawal and introduce a plan for immediate withdrawal; transfer and rebalance funding from the military sector to the humanitarian sector; place greater emphasis on diplomacy, because political discussion, dialogue and the exchange of ideas are most certainly where Canada should be focusing its efforts, not only regarding the problems in Afghanistan, but also regarding solutions that Canada should consider to resolve the conflicts.
We must be clear on this. The approach we favour would allow Canada to assume its responsibilities. However, we must bear in mind that there are limits to Canada's responsibilities. Canada's firm commitment, which involves withdrawing from Afghanistan by February 2009, is in our view non negotiable. I would remind the House that the Conservative motion extends the Canadian mission in Kandahar until 2011. In light of the debate here today, we see two forces at work. We see not only the Conservative force, which wants to keep our troops in Afghanistan, but also the Liberal force, which decided to side with the Canadian Conservative military approach in order to resolve this conflict.
I do not think this is the approach that Quebeckers want. We are a peaceful people who wish to see a speedy resolution to the conflicts through dialogue, diplomacy and political discussion.

Ron Cannan Kelowna—Lake Country, BC
Mr. Speaker, we have all heard so many times that people want to make a difference, feel like they are part of something and be connected personally to something they can support and care about.
Last week in my riding this was the key message during Global Citizen Week and it is one that the constituents of Kelowna—Lake Country have taken to heart.
A partnering relationship has been created between Kelowna and the village of Senanga, Zambia. All sectors of our community, from health and education to agriculture and transportation, are sharing their knowledge to help Senanga become a vibrant and economically viable community.
I express congratulations and thanks to all those who are making this global partnership happen, people such as Dr. Nelmes and the many tireless volunteers who are committed to this project.
As Sheila Olcen, chair of the community group, reminds us, it is so important to understand that we are one world and that what we do in our community has an impact on the lives of people thousands of miles away.
Rosalinda Cantiveros

Anita Neville Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a distinguished citizen of Winnipeg and of Canada, the late Rosalinda Cantiveros, who died in Winnipeg on March 4.
Linda was a popular leader in the Winnipeg Filipino community and her influence in the city was far reaching.
Arriving in Canada 30 years ago, Linda worked with a host of government and community agencies to provide services to local communities. Linda emerged as one of the pre-eminent leaders of her community.
A teacher in the inner city of Winnipeg, she was the founder and editor-in-chief of the Filipino Journal, a founding member of the Filipino-Canada Business Council and president of the Philippine-Canadian Centre of Manitoba. Many acknowledge that her greatest accomplishment was her role in the construction of this centre, now the hub of the community in Manitoba.
Linda was many things to many people: a wife, a mother, an activist, a political candidate, a teacher, and a journalist.
To her husband Rod, her sons Ron and John, and her many family members and friends, we offer our sincerest condolences. Her legacy will endure for decades.
Morin Heights Tragedy

Thomas Mulcair Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, we wish to express our most sincere condolences to the family and friends of the three women who were killed yesterday at their workplace in Morin Heights, Quebec. The victims were Barbara Morrisson Elliott, Sharon Kirkpatrick and her daughter-in-law, Marlyn Osiaza.
In this day and age, it is essential to bring all of our knowledge to bear to ensure that people are safe in their workplaces. This winter's exceptional snowfall calls for increased vigilance. That is why we are asking those responsible for workplace safety to redouble their efforts. In addition, we are asking the Minister of Public Safety to work closely with all of his provincial counterparts to ensure adequate preparation for the possibility of flooding this spring.
Marouane Aboudraz
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Marcel Lussier Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, Marouane Aboudraz, his wife and their two sons, aged 3 years and 13 months, left Montreal to visit family in the Gaza Strip in April 2007. The visit was supposed to last a few months, but it turned into a nightmare in June 2007 when Hamas seized control of Gaza, and Israel cut off access to the Palestinian territories, thereby preventing the Aboudraz family from returning home.
The father managed to escape when the border with Egypt opened at the end of January. He was able to return to Montreal, but without his wife and children. The children need asthma medication, but everything has become very scarce in Gaza.
My colleague from Papineau received assurances from the Department of Foreign Affairs that the family will be able to leave the Gaza Strip within the next few days. The Bloc Québécois is asking the minister to do everything in his power to make that happen.
Royden Taylor
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Carol Skelton Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, volunteer and professional firefighters serve a vital role in ensuring our public safety.
Ninety-one per cent of fire services are provided by volunteer fire departments. Their technical training demands are growing in complexity and range. Attracting and keeping trained volunteers is difficult for small communities due to family and job demands and lost wages, as well as personal risks.
In January, Caronport's mayor and volunteer fire chief, Royden Taylor, perished fighting a fire. He was instrumental in housing, equipping and boosting the ranks of firefighters serving an area that spans 1,300 square kilometres.
We will never forget Chief Taylor's tremendous service to his community and province.
Therefore, we must work together at all levels of government to find and implement solutions for the challenges facing firefighters, both volunteer and professional alike.
Kidney Disease
Statements By Members
March 13th, 2008 / 2 p.m.
Lui Temelkovski Oak Ridges—Markham, ON
Mr. Speaker, I wear a green ribbon today to mark World Kidney Day. Kidney disease can hit at any age. Today and every day about 14 Canadians find out their kidneys have failed. If not treated, they may die within days or weeks.
It is imperative that we raise awareness about these vitally important organs. We need to bring attention to organ donation because kidney transplantation saves lives and it is not as expensive as dialysis. Yet there is a shortage of kidneys for donation in Canada.
We can all do our part by speaking frankly with our families about organ donation, by informing loved ones about detection and symptoms of kidney disease and, most important, by teaching ourselves about how to keep our kidneys healthy.
Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Rick Casson Lethbridge, AB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and its members to the Hill today. Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world. Between 55,000 and 75,000 Canadians are living with this disease, and one of those is my daughter. While rarely fatal, it is a lifelong sentence and has a profound impact on families, health care systems and communities.
In the past few decades Canada has made incredible advances in the understanding and treatment of MS. However, as leading researchers retire, progress towards discovery in the field of MS is at risk. This is why the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and the MS Scientific Research Foundation are undertaking the endMS campaign to attract and retain gifted physicians, scientists and researchers to make MS their lifelong cause. At the conclusion of this campaign, the MS Society will have increased the number of researchers and clinicians in the country, critical steps on the path to end MS.
I encourage all Canadians to stand with those who suffer from the disease and to continue to support MS research.

Thierry St-Cyr Jeanne-Le Ber, QC
Mr. Speaker, in accordance with the plan to privatize Canada Post's services, the post office in Pointe-Saint-Charles, in my riding, will close at the end of the month.
Workers, members of the public and elected officials in southwest Montreal joined together to make Canada Post see reason and convince the crown corporation to change its mind, but Canada Post is determined to close the Pointe-Saint-Charles post office.
Recently, Canada Post posted a job ad for a public relations officer to manage the reconversion or closure of postal outlets. In other words, there are going to be more closures.
Canada Post is privatizing services with the support of the Conservative government. Whose interests is this government defending? The Bloc Québécois, along with the public, elected officials and workers, is asking that the Pointe-Saint-Charles post office remain open.
Human Rights
Statements By Members

David Sweet Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, despite the fact that this House and the other place both gave unanimous consent to making the Dalai Lama an honorary Canadian citizen, former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien last week said, "I respect the Dalai Lama very much but I don't think that naming him as an honorary citizen was anything good for Canada".
That may be the view of the leadership of the Liberal Party, but I can assure people that it is not the view of the Conservative Party, the government and a huge majority of Canadians. The Liberal Party is more concerned about pleasing Liberal connected firms with business interests in China than meeting the wishes of Canadian people.
The interesting fact is that while this government is promoting the Canadian values of freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law abroad, Canadian exports to China are increasing and tourism from China to Canada is dramatically on the rise. Under the previous Liberal governments, both these figures were steadily declining.
It is clear that Mr. Chrétien and the Liberal Party do not stand for human rights, they do not stand for Canadian exports and they do not stand for decisions made in Parliament. So what do they stand for?
Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Carolyn Bennett St. Paul's, ON
Mr. Speaker, we are pleased to have in the House today members of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. Since 1948, the society has been providing hope to people living with MS and their families.
Multiple sclerosis is an often disabling episodic illness that attacks the brain and spinal cord, causing extremely unpredictable symptoms that vary from one person to another. Canada has one of the highest incidences of multiple sclerosis in the world.
In its 60 years of existence, the Multiple Sclerosis Society has funded over $100 million in research grants to find the cause, prevention and cure for MS.
By virtue of this dedication, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada is continuing to make significant improvements in the quality of life of people across the country with multiple sclerosis. The society's mission is to be a leader in finding a cure for multiple sclerosis.
The Environment
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Steven Blaney Lévis—Bellechasse, QC
Mr. Speaker, after 13 long years without even a hint of greenhouse gas reductions, our government is finally taking the bull by the horns.
The turning the corner plan applies to all major industrial sectors and will result in greenhouse gas reductions of 20% by 2020 and 60% to 70% by 2050, an unprecedented accomplishment.
Oil sands operations must reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 18% immediately and then by 2% annually. Effective 2012, it will be mandatory for new projects to use carbon capture and storage techniques and green technologies.
Our government is a firm believer in the polluter-pay principle and that is why we are establishing a Canadian carbon exchange.
The time for Liberal rhetoric and promises has passed. Conservative members are taking action now to ensure the sustainable development of Quebec within a green Canada.
Health Care
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, London area hospitals are facing a crisis that is placing the lives and health of my constituents of London—Fanshawe at risk. In emergency rooms, patients are waiting over 24 hours for a bed. Ambulances are idling outside hospitals for hours, waiting for patients to be admitted. Surgeries are being cancelled. It is a dire situation.
The federal government must step in immediately. The lives of Londoners are at stake. Government cutback after cutback has dismantled the community health supports that seniors and low income Canadians have relied on for preventative, home and long term care. Community supports, like the Women's Health Clinic in London, are essential because of the quality of care they provide and the reality of the doctor shortage. However, unfortunately, the Women's Health Clinic is another victim of government cutbacks.
When is the government going to start investing in long term care spaces, home care, preventative care and community health supports?

Facebook Friday
Good Morning!
Today we are sharing a tutorial with your from Cortney Yarwood. She was one of our Black Magic Winners during our week of give-a-ways over Halloween. We LOVE seeing what you create with Core'dinations and this project is no exception.
- 3 Scalloped circles that are 3 inches in diameter ( I used the Mini Monograms cartridge for mine) (see below for non-cricut instructions)
- Adhesive
- Embellishments of you choice (buttons are fun but so are gems and what not or another smaller die cut)
STEP 1 Take one of your little scalloped circles and fold it in half…try to keep the fold in the "V" portion of the scallop (versus splitting the circled portion in half)
STEP2 With the scallops facing toward you …take the left side of the circle and fold it toward the center (imagine a line that is splitting the half circle you have in half ..and fold this side to that imaginary line…) repeat with the right side as well.
STEP3 Reopen those folds from step 2 some what so that you are looking at a little cone shape on the left and the right. (this is noticeable if you have kept the scalloped edge facing you )
STEP4 You will notice that there are the fold lines at the top part of this cone. You want to take that fold line and push it flat (basically squashing it) Do this to both sides. You should end up with what looks like 3 cone shapes (the end two have more dimension..the middle portion is flat.) You have just made your first petal.
STEP 5 If you haven't done so already…repeat with the remaining circles.
Take your 3 petals and arrange them in a circle with the fancy edge on the outside edge. Please note that you might have to over lap and fiddle with them to create this…this is not one of those projects that fits together tight like a puzzle. It gets a little lumpy and bumpy and that is how it should look. No two flowers are alike..and all have different elements to them that adds character.
Once you have them arranged the way you want place adhesive on the back side of each circle (this is the side that is essentially flat all the way across)
Embellish the little center opening as you see fit.
Also if you made this and don't have a particular project in mind at the moment …mount the petals in the circle formation to a small piece of scrap paper and save for a later project!
I hope you had a lot of fun!
AND Cortney even shared with us what do do if you don't have a Cricut! NO CRICUT? NO PROBLEM!!!
If you are anything like me…I hate not being able to do something because I don't have the right piece of equipment. I fiddled around a little and this can be done with out the cricut machine.
Something round to trace (soup can or something similar
a pair of fancy edged scissors (mine are those ones from craft stores that are around a buck a pair) and your adhesive and embellishments.
First find something round to trace (soup can is usually something everyone one has in the cabinet) Find one that is roughly going to give you the size you want. Maybe a little bigger…because you are going to be making two cuts.
Trace and cut the circle out.
Fold this circle in half. Now take a pair of those fancy edged scissors and trim the half circle (this will be the open edge not the folded one). Now you can proceed with the directions listed above.
Here is another version on a card:
Make sure you show us what you do with this great tutorial! Thanks Cortney!
Facebook Friday!
Good Morning!
Today we are sharing some of the Fabulous inspiration we found on our Facebook Page from Cathy Harper.
Stacy Julian Core Impressions for Winter? OH YES! Gorgeous, gorgeous. It's all about color and inspiration. Amazing details, too, Thanks so much Cathy! Make sure you visit her blog and facebook page and give her some {love}.
Have a GREAT weekend! Keep sharing those projects and you might see yourself here!

Joey Monsoon has found his muse, and she's a bitch. Monsoon, a self-taught artist who's received much acclaim from the arts community, finds inspiration for his paintings in the hardships and difficulties that come with life. He also sees a magnificent, emotional beauty in striving through those.
"The emotion mostly revolves around what I see as our ability to endure the trials and the hardships of life," Monsoon said.
Nearly all of Monsoon's paintings, done on plywood with mainly acrylic and house paint, concentrate on thin, gangly individuals. There's a deceptive strength behind each.
"The thin structure serves as a vehicle to force that inner strength," Monsoon said. "I use the phrase a lot, 'Thin wrists require thick skin.' So the figures that seem to be on the surface more weak and weathered are [actually] the strongest inside."
It's in these ideas of strength and beauty that Monsoon has captured something special with his paintings. We all know life is hard sometimes; it's how you stand up in those moments that present hard-fought splendor. For Monsoon, beauty is more about the flaws, the pain, the strife we all endure — not the stereotypical Elysian beauty.
"[Those who] can take on those scars, whether physical or emotional, and carry on and have a great life [find] beauty far beyond any cosmetic beauty that we can have," he said.
For years, Monsoon has conveyed themes in his work about true inner beauty resulting from perseverance through hard times. What's different about his upcoming exhibit at Lindsay Gallery is he's improved his skills and techniques as a painter. Having only painted for eight years, Monsoon said he's still improving, and will continue to do so.
"Becoming a better painter and learning to use the tools allows me to deliver those expressions and emotions more successfully," he said.
If Monsoon continues to improve — his style has become quite gripping, producing an almost visceral response — who knows how powerful his work can become. That's because it's all based upon a foundation of humanistic axioms. Sure, "beauty isn't skin deep" is a cliché, but finding beauty and strength through sadness is an evocative concept that should be contemplated and embraced.

Region stats
You may or may not know that the state of Michigan is broken down into 10 regions to streamline services and effectively use resources. The Upper Peninsula is considered a single region, and of course, we are No. 1.
For example, in economic development we enjoy a single regional point of contact for the economic development, community development, Michigan Department of Transportation, Department of Natural Resourses, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, export services, etc.
This helps economic developers across the region communicate quickly and easily with state staff who are familiar with and reside in the Upper Peninsula.
Recently, the Department of Technology, Management and Budget prepared labor market information by region that I believe is worth sharing. It provides data on our current demographics, trends and patterns for the region, some of which are listed below:
As of 2012, the U.P.'s population was estimated at 310,787 or 3 percent of the total population. This was a loss of approximately 2 percent from 2000.
A total of 39 percent of our residents hold a high school diploma or equivalent; 20 percent of residents hold a bachelor's degree or higher which is slightly lower than the statewide average of 25 percent; 59 percent of residents are 35 years or older (25 percent between 35-54 and 34 percent 55 or older).
The gender split is 48 percent female and 52 percent male.
The report also outlined commuting patterns in the region. Internal commuters, those who reside and are employed in the region, account for just over 90,000 which is the seventh-largest internal commuting region out of 10 in the state.
Inflow and outflow commuters, those living outside the region who work within and those who live within the region and work outside, number 11,791 and 18,098, respectively. As you would expect those who commute into the region come mainly from Marinette, Florence and Iron Counties in Wisconsin. The primary destination for outflow commuters is Marinette, Wisconsin. Overall we have more residents leaving the region to work than those coming in.
Five key industries make up 62 percent of the region's jobs.
They are: Healthcare/social assistance; retail trade; accommodation/food service; public administration; manufacturing; and healthcare/social assistance, which accounts for nearly 18 percent of the region's total payroll.
Manufacturing remains important to the region and the state. Paper manufacturing makes up the largest proportion of jobs employing nearly one in five of all manufacturing workers. This is followed by fabricated metals and wood products.
As we look to the future, what is expected to grow or decline?
High growth industries include: Manufacturing; administrate/support; waste management; mining/quarrying/oil and gas; professional/scientific/technical services; and accommodation/food services.
Declines are anticipated in public administration, retail trade, information and utilities.
So now that you are familiar with the makeup of the Upper Peninsula and how it relates to talent, what does the future look like? The good news is that employment in region 1 is expected to expand by 4,290 or 3 percent through 2018 with the largest growth rates in IT and healthcare.
Are you an entrepreneur or business that plans to create some of those new jobs? Take a look at www.marquette.org to learn more about how we can assist at the Lake Superior Community Partnership.

Answer 1 by Aditi Dwivedi
Hi Noor,
Its really good to know that you enjoy mathematics so I would highly recommend you opting for Industrial engineering. This field of study will give you an opportunity to be very creative as you will need to come up with innovative ideas to improve processes across big and small organizations which would have a direct impact on the people and society at large. You can combine your Industrial engineering major with a minor in Marketing and the combination of these two would be a sure shot path towards finding a good job as according to bureau to Labor Statistics Industrial engineers are in high demand across US. With the combination of these two fields you will have an ample opportunity to select a variety of fields like from healthcare, manufacturing to sales and management. You will have a lot of options available for you once you graduate and this is only possible for those who major in Industrial engineering. Let me know if you need more information about Industrial engineering in general. Hope this was helpful. Thanks.
Answer 2
by Ms Florence Tela
Hi Noor,
I agree with Aditi's recommendation given the self-profile you described in your question especially if you are looking at non-routine type of work. I am hoping by now you have figured out what you really want to study. Good luck in your pursuits.

A Spotlight on Calgary's Cultural Ambassadors: Wendy Bélanger
Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign, an initiative spearheaded by Fashion Calgary founders, Ania Basak and Rafal Wegiel, was developed to enhance the recognition of Calgary's burgeoning cultural scene and to bring appreciation to arts and culture in Calgary.
Fashion Calgary collaborates with many different Calgarians in various fields to determine what culture means to them and why Calgary is such a cultural city. Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign 2013 discovered many exceptional Calgarians and leaders within the community and have selected them to be this year's ambassadors.
One of those ambassadors is Wendy Bélanger, one of the most sought after stylists in the industry. When Wendy is not working at her own Salon, Influence Salon in Calgary, she acts as Pureology's International Artistic Director and as a facilitator at Redken Exchange in New York City. Wendy's success, from her appearances on television, to working for fashion week and styling stars at the Oscars, has come from her passion for the industry and her drive to inspire. To read more about Wendy Bélanger, click here.

Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign 2013 - Exclusive interview with Wendy Bélanger by Ania Basak from Fashion Calgary on Vimeo
Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign is an initiative spearheaded by Fashion Calgary founders, Ania Basak and Rafal Wegiel. Basak and Wegiel are devoted to diligently raising the profile of arts and fashion in Calgary though innovative measures and grass roots methods.
In 2012, the campaign featured "the ambassadors" who represented various fields related to culture by presenting their portraits together with their own expressions about the meaning of culture in their life. The completion of Fashion Calgary Portrait Campaign 2012 was the Gala event, created to celebrate its success in establishing Calgary as a cultural centre.
In creating this campaign, Basak and Wegiel hope to enhance Calgary's image in the country while encouraging Calgarians to take part in the many arts activities our city has to offer. In the long-term, Fashion Calgary has a strong desire to spread the idea of highlighting the appreciation of art & culture throughout the country of Canada.

Canada Water Preservation Act
Routine Proceedings
Francis Scarpaleggia Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-535, An Act respecting the preservation of Canada's water resources.
Mr. Speaker, I rise with great pride and pleasure to table this bill. The object of the bill is to prevent transfers of bulk water from one major drainage basin in Canada to another, thereby protecting the environment, which is damaged by such transfers, and thereby at the same time also preventing the transfer of freshwater outside of Canada.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Sudan Accountability Act
Routine Proceedings
12:05 p.m.
Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-536, An Act to encourage accountability by Canada and the international community with respect to Sudan.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to introduce the Sudan accountability act, a bill that aims at enhancing the role of Canada and the international community in combating the genocide in Darfur.
In a week beginning with the commemoration of the Rwandan genocide, in which the world failed to act, it is only appropriate that in the same week legislation be introduced to combat the first genocide of the 21st century through targeted divestment and international initiatives.
We know that more than 400,000 have died in this genocide by attrition and at least 4 million are on a life support system. As the student posters at Darfur rallies ask, "If not us, who?" and "If not now, when?"
While this legislation alone will not end the genocide, it is a vital and necessary step to be taken and the time to act is now.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Routine Proceedings

Dawn Black New Westminster—Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present two petitions signed by hundreds of Canadians from all regions of our country.
The first petition calls upon the government to support a new law to eliminate the use of cluster bombs. Cluster bombs cause untold harm, mainly to civilians. Canada must work with the international community to prevent this suffering.
The petitioners strongly believe the Canadian government should show international leadership and support a law to end the use of cluster munitions.
This petition was circulated by an organization called Mines Action Canada. It plays a vital role in the battle to end the use of cluster bombs. It is a great organization. I am proud to support the petition and the work the organization does.

Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday officially launched its rather highly-anticipated Zune HD personal digital media player. The company hopes that rather stylish look, support for digital radio as well as advanced music and media sharing mechanism will make the new Zune HD much more popular than the original device released in 2006.
"With today's announcement, the Zune business is growing into a comprehensive entertainment service that's no longer tied to any one screen or device. Zune lets consumers connect to their music, TV shows and movie content and enjoy it on the three screens they use every day," said Enrique Rodriguez, corporate vice president of the TV, video and music business at Microsoft.
Microsoft Zune HD is equipped with OLED multi-touch screen with 3.3" diagonal and 480x272 resolution, metallic case, 16GB of 32GB flash memory, 802.11b/g wireless network controller, FM/HD radio tuner and so on. Thanks to Nvidia Tegra system-on-chip, the Zune HD has rather rich multimedia capabilities due to integrated GeForce 6-class graphics core and other advanced technologies. The player will be able to output video with up to 1280x720 resolution (720p) using special cradle.
Nvidia Tegra 600-series SoCs feature ARM11 central processing unit core, GeForce graphics core with programmable pixel shader and programmable vertex shader support, build-in low-power DDR memory controller, NAND flash memory controller, high-definition video processor that supports MPEG 4, H.264, VC-1/WMV9 decoding, H.264 and MPEG4 encoding and features some other capabilities. Besides, Tegra 600 and Tegra 650 support two displays, 12MPixel camera sensor, USB, Parallel ATA a variety of display outputs, including HDMI, as well as other necessary interfaces.
Microsoft claims that Zune HD will have up to 33 hours battery life in music mode and up to 8.5 hours battery life in video mode. The device is powered by 730mAh lithium ion battery.
The updates to the Zune hardware, software and online services released today, combined with a new Zune video offering on Xbox Live coming later this fall, bring customers instant access to their favorite music and videos virtually anywhere. Later this fall, Zune video will expand to nearly 20 million Xbox Live users, combining the Zune and Xbox video stores so consumers have access to more content provided by Zune.
In addition, Zune HD also features new casual games and non-gaming functionality, such as a calculator and an MSN Weather application. Later this year, Microsoft plans to release free applications such as Twitter for Zune and Facebook for Zune, in addition to 3D video games, such as Project Gotham Racing: Ferrari Edition, Vans Sk8: Pool Service, and Audiosurf Tilt. Games can be added to Zune HD via Zune Marketplace over the Wi-Fi connection or when connected to the Zune PC software. In fact, inclusion of high-performance graphics engine and encouraging game development for Zune, Microsoft will eventually have to compete against Nintendo DSi and Sony PlayStation 3, not talking about Apple iPod touch.
It remains to be seen whether video gaming and advanced ways to acquire media content will help Microsoft to sell significantly more than three – three and a half million Zune HD in three years, the amount of original Zune players sold throughout their lifetime.
Zune HD is available from major retailers with a black 16GB version for $219.99 (estimated retail price) and a platinum 32GB version for $289.99 (ERP). Additional red, green and blue devices are available in both capacities from Zune Originals, where customers can also customize the back of the Zune HD device with art and text etchings to create a unique Zune. Unfortunately, Microsoft Zune HD players are only available in the USA now.

Excursions - Easy Relaxed
Cozumel Country Club Golf
Since its opening in 2001, the Cozumel Country Club, Nicklaus Design Group 18-hole golf course has been steadily attracting more travelers to Cozumel.
With attractive challenges for players at every level or skill, this golf course has been carefully crafted and designed around the surrounding mangrove marshlands and tropical rainforest to preserve its environmental integrity.
Because of its strong committment to an environmental program, The Cozumel Country Club became the the first and only golf course in Mexico to earn the designation of Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary from Audubon International in March 2006. To reach certification, a course must demonstrate that they are maintaining a high degree of environmental quality in a number of areas including:: Environmental Planning, Wildlife & Habitat Management, Outreach and Education, Chemical Use Reduction and Safety, Water Conservation, and Water Quality Management.
The Nicklaus Design Group has successfully balanced the strict requirements of building a first-class championship golf course with the need to preserve the delicate ecosystem of the area. The golf course features channels built beneath roadways and bridges to provide safe passage for blue crabs, iguanas and other wildlife which call this habitat home.
Cozumel Country Club is owned and operated by ClubCorp. Members of other ClubCorp clubs in the U.S., Australia and Europe have Signature Gold privileges with the Cozumel facility, allowing them preferred rates and tee times.
Perhaps the most common goal for golf course designers, and certainly Nicklaus Design, is to create a golf course that is enjoyable for all skill levels of player, but from the back tees, provides a good test of golf that even the best players could envision. Most of all, you want your experience to be memorable and something that will bring the golfer back time and time again. Cozumel Country Club is this type of golf course. - Steve Nicklaus

On the Farm
The Challenge
Pest pressures on farms are constant. Growers must be aware of these pressures, and they often use pesticides as part of their routine practices for protecting crops. Pesticides are powerful tools for controlling pests but may lead to unintended exposure. Reduced-risk pest management practices, such as Integrated Pest Management (IPM) (print version, 2 pp, 1MB, About PDF), are available that can soften the impact to human health and the environment. PestWise programs and initiatives are working to increase use of these practices.
The Solution
- agricultural associations increasing their members' awareness of options to include reduced-risk practices into existing farming techniques
- a food processor who manages multiple large farms focuses on maintaining good sanitation practices to reduce pest populations
- growers incorporating biopesticides (print version, 2 pp, 1.4MB, About PDF) into existing farming techniques
Quick Facts about IPM
- Based on information regarding the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment
- Uses this information in combination with available pest control technologies to manage pests economically and with reduced risk
- Takes advantage of all appropriate pest management strategies, including the careful use of pesticides when necessary
The Results
PestWise program partners are expanding the use of IPM in agriculture across the United States. For example:
In 2008, the Lodi-Woodbridge Winegrape Commission, a Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP) member, enrolled 28 growers with over 10,000 acres of vineyards in the Lodi Rules for Sustainable Growing Program. Based on the success rate of previous years, over 9500 of these acres will achieve certification for sustainability. Since 2007, the Program had an increased enrollment by 10 additional growers and 2500 additional acres of vineyards. Learn More about PESP >>
Red Tomato , a Massachusetts based non-profit organization, assists ecological fruit and vegetable growers to market their produce. In 2005, Red Tomato received an EPA grant to develop a new apple production standard, called Eco-Apples. The new standard's efforts reduced pesticide use and sales jumped from $146,000 to over $1.4 million, an increase of 992%.
With support from a Biopesticide Demonstration Program (BDP) grant, the University of Georgia conducted field demonstrations of the biopesticide, potassium phosphite, used on blueberries to manage foliar and root diseases. Potassium phosphite was found to be superior to fungicide use for disease control. The result: Potassium phosphite is now used on more than 50% of Georgia blueberries, and its use is spreading beyond the state. Learn More about BDP >>

Sponsor a Child in Sri Lanka
The photos on this page are all children in Sri Lanka that are waiting for a sponsor. Could one of those sponsors be you?
About Sri Lanka
The small island nation of Sri Lanka recently emerged from more than two decades of civil war and political fighting. Although the economy is slowly being rebuilt, many are still living in poverty.
With a population of nearly 21.5 million, 85% of people live in rural areas of the monsoon-prone island and children are especially susceptible to poverty and its devastating effects.
• 21 percent of children under age five are malnourished or underweight.
• Water-borne diseases like bacterial diarrhea and Hepatitis A are common.
• 14 percent of the population is living below $1.25 per day.
You can change this! Please sponsor a child in Sri Lanka.
When you sponsor a child in Sri Lanka for $38 a month, you give them the opportunity to become all God has created them to be. As a part of Compassion's Child Sponsorship Program they receive:
• Nutritious food and supplements

This story had been bugging me ever since I heard about it, but now it looks like justice will be served...
Very glad to see that the NCAA denied 2010 eligibility to Jeremiah Masoli, the former Oregon QB who was kicked off the team for stealing laptops from a fraternity house.
He had transferred to Ole Miss, and was applying to get a waiver of the transfer requirement to sit out a year on what, to me, looked like a bizarre technicality. Houston Nutt and Ole Miss were trying to exploit a loophole in the NCAA transfer regulations to get Masoli eligible to start at QB for them in 2010.
Because Masoli had graduated and still had a year of eligibility, the NCAA rules say you can transfer for "graduate school" as long as the subject you want to get an advanced degree in isn't offered by the school you currently attend.
For starters, who believes that a guy who steals laptops in his spare time is a serious graduate student in anything? Second, all he'd have to do is pick any major area of study that he knew Oregon didn't offer, in order to qualify under the rule. (Word is he was going to pursue a Masters in "Parks and Recreation")
So, anyone else has to sit out a year, but this thief was going receive special consideration just because he had already graduated.
Glad the NCAA did the right thing, and said no, even though the "letter" of the rule was being followed.
"The NCAA felt that the rule allowing players to apply for immediate eligibility while entering a grad school was not created for athletes to avoid discipline."

Also noteworthy on the "Good Night" subject, the book I mentioned has this to say (in part):
"It was written as a lullabye for 5 year old Julian. Lennon asked Martin to give it a real "Hollywood" Feel....For his part, McCartney always felt that, by giving the song to Ringo, Lennon was hiding his own emotions and protecting his tough-guy reputation."
Only Ringo, The Mike Sammes Singers and, of course, the orchestra appear on the track.

County Democrats To Delay Candidate Announcement
MAYVILLE – Chautauqua County Democrats will delay announcing their candidate for Chautauqua County Executive.
An announcement was expected sometime this week but has been delayed after County Executive Greg Edwards' unexpected announcement on Friday that he will not run for another term.
"In light of County Executive Greg Edwards' announcement Friday that he not running for re-election, I have asked the Democratic candidate who was to announce a county executive run this week to delay the release and the candidate agreed," said Norman P. Green, Chautauqua County Democratic Committee chairman, in a news release.
"Our process is open and transparent and my party committee members asked this week that we extend the search process for two weeks to avoid any criticism and listen to anyone else who might want to come forward. We want to avoid a primary and we want to hear from all prospective candidates so as to assure ourselves that we have the very best nominee.
"Also," Green concluded, "Greg Edwards is a gentleman and someone I respect. He deserves to not to have his county government retirement announcement stepped on by me or the Democrats. I may not agree with his politics, but I admire this good family man and will miss working with him in Mayville."

Stocks Inch Higher as McDonald's, HP and Cisco Advance
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages eked out gains Monday with the help of blue-chips McDonald's (MCD) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) .
Meanwhile, as investors remained jittery about the political upheaval in Italy and the progress of averting the U.S. "fiscal cliff," Reuters reported that the Bank of Japan will likely ease monetary policy next week as the country's outlook continues to be clouded by the potential fallout from the U.S. budget and soft Chinese growth.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 15 points, or 0.11%, to 13,170. The blue-chip index, which came off a one-month closing high, began the session up more than 7.5% in 2012.
Breadth was positive, with winners outpacing losers 16 to 14. In addition to Hewlett-Packard and McDonald's, Cisco ( CSCO ) and Microsoft ( MSFT ) were a few of the biggest blue-chip winners.
Home Depot ( HD) , Verizon ( VZ) and Bank of America ( INTC) were the sharpest decliners.
Hewlett-Packard shares jumped 2.6% amid rumors that billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn could be amassing a stake in the PC maker.
McDonald's shares added 1.1% after the fast-food giant reported an increase of 2.4% in global same-store sales for November, exceeding the average analyst estimate of only 0.1%, helped by the popularity of a breakfast menu in the U.S., and value meals and meal combinations in Europe. In October, McDonald's had posted its first decline in monthly sales in nine years.
The S&P 500 settled up half of a point, or 0.03%, at 1,419. The Nasdaq increased 9 points, or 0.30%, at 2,987.
In the broader market, most sectors were in the green, led by advances in the transportation, technology, basic material and healthcare sectors. Only the consumer-cyclical and financial sectors slumped.
Volumes reached 2.96 billion shares on the New York Stock Exchange , and were also weak at 1.52 billion shares on the Nasdaq. Advancers edged decliners 1.2-to-1 on the Big Board and 1.3-to-1 on the Nasdaq.
On the fiscal-cliff front, President Barack Obama visited a Daimler engine plant in Redford, Mich., Monday to make his case for raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans .
"I've said I will work with Republicans on a plan for economic growth, job creation and reducing our deficits, and have some compromise between Democrats and Republicans," he told workers.
On Sunday, President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner met at the White House for the first time in 23 days to discuss resolving the fiscal cliff. Details of the conversation weren't revealed, but both offices said that the "lines of communication" remain open.
"Averting the cliff before Christmas will likely rally the S&P to 1,500 by year-end or early January, provided the 2013 fiscal drag does not exceed 1.5% and is not mostly tax hikes," said David Bianco, chief U.S. equity strategist at Deutsche Bank. "But further 2013 S&P upside will be sensitive to the legislation's details. If top income-tax-bracket rate hikes are curbed from what's scheduled, then the S&P should reach 1,550 by 2013's end. If the new top dividend tax rate is 25% or less, then the S&P should reach 1,600 by the end of 2013."

OCZ Technology Group has introduced the RevoDrive 3 and RevoDrive 3 X2 lineup of solid-state drives that incorporate an advanced data management feature-set based on OCZ's proprietary virtualized controller architecture (VCA) 2.0 technology. The drives are aimed at workstations as well as high-performance PC enthusiast.
The RevoDrive 3-series incorporates a set of features from the VCA 2.0 flash virtualization software that allow certain direct memory access (DMA) and data management functions. Included in this feature-set are OCZ's exclusive command queuing and queue balancing algorithms, which can be handled by the onboard processing core for higher performance and reduced burden on the host resources. According to OCZ, VCA 2.0 is also the only virtualization layer in the industry with TRIM and SCSI unmap support to enhance sustained performance and provide greater endurance by significantly reducing the overhead associated with garbage collection. Furthermore, VCA also offers consolidated SMART support and provides system administrators with advanced features for monitoring, analyzing, and reporting device attributes.
With its all-new architecture, the RevoDrive 3 (which is powered by SandForce SF-2281 controllers) shatters its predecessor's performance record and is faster than comparable solutions that are up to ten times the price. Available in two different models, the Revo3 delivers up to 1.5GB/s of bandwidth and up to 230 thousand IOPS (4K random write) under HPC or workstation workloads with a single-card solution. Additionally, the Revo3 X2 960GB offers ample capacity for users in media development and management looking for more storage room.
"OCZ RevoDrive 3 PCIe SSDs use our VCA 2.0 technology to deliver superior performance and functionality for everything from scientific computing to high availability clustering. This exciting new workstation-class storage product accelerates application performance and takes full advantage of today's multithreaded processors and software, providing customers with greater throughput in an easy-to-deploy, single card solution," said Daryl Lang, vice president of product management of OCZ Technology.

Anyone ever hear of the group SEATRAIN? They had a couple of albums on the Capitol label in the early 70s produced by George Martin.
Their 2nd self-titled release is the one I enjoyed the most. They had a great single release off it called "13 Questions" (about a UFO/alien experience, lol) that was a mild hit--I thought it was sensational. They also did a monster version of the old bluegrass standard "Orange Blossom Special."
The group had a great vocalist, great harmonies and great musicians. The fiddle player was awesome. Their style was somewhat of a slick-but-rootsy/Band-type sound. I always thought they were a big influence on KANSAS, though KANSAS was maybe a bit more classically inclined. The drummer, Larry Atamanuik, was in Emmylou Harris' Nash Ramblers in the early 90s.
Seatrain's production was bang-on, and naturally, given Sir George's proven talents.
