An incredibly versatile and engaging vocalist Her sixties hit 'California Soul' has remained a staple of 'rare groove' compilations.
Marlena Shaw is among the most versatile and charismatic jazz vocalists on the scene today, and represents some of the best live jazz music in London. Her performances are marked by an artful blend of pop standards and straight-ahead jazz tunes. Her extroverted stage presence gives her an edge over other vocalists, and it's clear to see that singing before an audience is where she feels most comfortable.
After her uncle introduced her to the recordings of Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis, she caught the jazz bug and purchased records by Al Hibbler, a vocalist who largely influenced her singing style. At ten years old she performed at Harlem's Apollo Theater, and although she received an enthusiastic reception in front of one of the world's toughest audiences, her mother refused to let her go on the road with her uncle who played the trumpet. Shaw attended the State Teachers' College in Potsdam, NY, but later dropped out.
She worked around New England for a while in 1963 with a trio led by Howard McGhee. By the mid-'60s she was performing regularly for audiences in the Catskills, Playboy clubs, and other New York area clubs. In 1966, she recorded "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" and the single sold very well for an unknown singer. The single's success, prompted executives to encourage her to record a whole album 1967. The diversity of styles, including blues, jazz, and pop standards, is reflected in the album's title, Out of Different Bags. She was brought to the attention of bandleader Count Basie through her accountant, and ended up singing with the Basie band for four years.

Cramer Says Fiscal-Cliff Deal Is Good for Stocks -- Here's Why
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Lindsey Bell: So we got the fiscal-cliff deal at the 12th hour last night. We're you happy with it? It seems like there's a little bit of can-kicking with spending cuts and such.
Jim Cramer:
Well, I think you're not supposed to be happy with the deal. You're not happy with a deal where everybody pays a little bit more because of the increase in the payroll tax, and actually I pay a lot more. I'm now in the 53% bracket, which is disturbing to me, but that's the way it is and we had a good run. Speaking more importantly about what I care about: capital gains and dividends. They are being taxed very reasonably, which is good for stocks, certainly better than bonds. Certainty does matter. It's easy to now say, "OK, listen, let's gird for the next battle in partisanship."
I find that you have to accept the fact that there's a lot of money coming in today. Some of that has to be because we've got certainty. We do have some earnings coming up. I don't think all the earnings are going to be good. So it's not a bad opportunity to straighten out your portfolio. Get out of stuff that won't be that good in the fourth quarter. That what Stephanie
It was the big, bad event and don't overly focus on the debt ceiling because that will be resolved too, and it may not be resolved the way you like it, just like the cliff wasn't resolved the way you like it. But resolution itself is good for the stock market, and I care about the stock market.
Lindsey Bell: All right. Now the stocks. What about defensive stocks? We've got to wait two more months to get an issue on the spending cuts.
Jim Cramer:
Well, do we really? I don't know. Lockheed Martin was good the whole way. Boeing was good the whole way. United Technology is a stock we like very much. These companies are international companies with a very big domestic component for defense, obviously. We avoided a very big, very tough defense cutback, and the Republicans -- if you look at what they talk about -- they are for spending cuts everywhere except for defense. So that will be the least cantankerous area.
Lindsey Bell:
OK. So the stock market is up about 4% in the past two days. Do you get in here or wait for a dip, maybe?
Jim Cramer:
Look, I'm from the school, which says, "I don't buy up 2%, 3%." I just don't and you just say, "OK, listen, maybe you have some stocks already -- that's great." You sell some of your losers into strength that you shouldn't have. But, no, I can't, I have a discipline and my discipline doesn't allow me to buy at these levels.

The United States and Mexico share many similar interests and concerns. We are also at a very special state in our economic relationship. President Obama has called it a moment of opportunity. Others have said this is Mexico's moment.
Having personally worked with Mexico in the private sector for almost three decades and now at the U.S. Department of State, I am thrilled by the Obama Administration's focus on deepening and elevating our already close cooperation on economic issues. Mexico, a major regional power that actively engages on global economic issues, offers huge possibilities for increased economic cooperation. It is in both our interests to increase economic integration among the NAFTA partners in order to make our economies more competitive.
Just looking at the numbers, it is easy to see why we focus on the economic relationship. The United States and Mexico, together with Canada, make up an integrated North American production platform, producing top globally competitive manufacturing exports, including automobiles, aircraft, and high tech consumer goods.
Mexico is one of the United States' largest trade partners, with half a trillion dollars in two way merchandise trade in 2012. That is more than a billion dollars a day in trade, and that number does not even capture our trade in services. Tens of millions of Mexicans and Americans legally cross our common border each year to visit relatives, do business, and conduct tourism. Moreover, U.S. inputs make up approximately 40 percent of goods exported from Mexico to the United States.
But it is more than numbers, no matter how impressive. The people of the United States and Mexico have a long history with extensive ties. This gives both sides a compelling reason to move forward together.
On April 11-12, 2013, five Assistant Secretaries across four different U.S. cabinet agencies, myself included, met with senior Mexican officials in Washington. The April session continued discussions that we started last January, when we traveled to Mexico for official government economic talks. We discussed expanding economic cooperation in several areas, including entrepreneurship, trade, and investment. These dialogues aren't meant to stand alone though. It is the resulting actions that come out of these talks that strengthen the relationship further. Moving forward, our governments agreed to further economic collaboration -- covering shared competitiveness and connectivity, economic growth and innovation, and partnerships for global leadership.
Our goal was to strengthen our bilateral economic relationship and set the stage for President Obama's trip to Mexico later this week.
Developing our economic relationship will ensure that we continue to prosper and to grow even further, and that is in all of our interests.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Description"Underwood's mastiff bats have been seen roosting in hollow trees and under palm fronds, and have been captured in mist nets over pools of water in the desert, but little is known about their daytime roosting habits or about their winter range. This bat's large mouth and strong jaws suggest that it may include hard insects such as beetles and grasshoppers in its diet, and its long, narrow wings and the bones and muscles of its shoulders suggest that it may be able to fly all night, without resting, as it hunts. It has been clocked at 43 km per hour and can probably fly faster than that."

Seifert 'not afraid' of a little competition
MARSHALL – Some candidates might have better name recognition. Some might have more money and more resources. But Marty Seifert, a farm kid who has been out of the political spotlight for three years, is hardly disconcerted by the field of Republicans eyeing the gubernatorial nomination.
"I think it's a full field, but I don't think there's a candidate I am intimidated by whatsoever," Seifert said. "It's competition, and as a Republican I believe in competition. I'm not afraid of it. We all have to earn our keep and earn people's votes."
Seifert on Thursday officially joined the race, bringing the total number of candidates looking to oust Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton to six. The others are state Rep. Kurt Zellers, Hibbing teacher Rob Farnsworth, Orono businessman Scott Honour, Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson and Sen. Dave Thompson.
"I would say it's an average number for a group of people seeking a nomination," said Seifert. "When (Tim) Pawlenty was governor, the Democrats had a big field and had a three-way primary with Margaret Anderson Kelliher, Matt Entenza and Dayton."
Seifert, who grew up on a small, family farm near Clements, has a little history on his side when it comes to rural legislators finding some success in the gubernatorial race. Kelliher, a fellow small-town politician (she was raised on a dairy farm in Blue Earth County), won the party's endorsement that year when Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak dropped out after six convention ballots. She then lost a close primary election to Dayton.
Seifert is keeping an open mind in terms of running in a primary if he doesn't receive the endorsement. He is aware he doesn't have the finances some of the other candidates do but knows there's more to running a successful campaign than spending lots of money.
"Entenza spent well over a million dollars in the (2010) primary and got 13 percent of the votes," Seifert said. "It's really about getting out there. Dayton drove to all 87 counties of Minnesota; of course, he had good name recognition, but I think I do, too."
Seifert said he will run a "very, very aggressive campaign" and that a race with this kind of competition will benefit whoever survives the primary.
"I think competition is good," he said. "You'll have a better-quality candidate because we'll all be sharpening our skills and will be polished. (With this many candidates) you'll have to work very hard to earn the support of the people. If you're just doing a layup and nobody's in competition with you, sometimes candidates can get a little bit lackadaisical."
Seifert hasn't committed to ending his campaign if someone else is endorsed.

About Exchanged Life Ministries
Exchanged Life Ministries was incorporated in November 2010. Our purpose is to provide Biblical counseling to individuals and couples who are seeking to grow in their walk with God and to have healthy relationships with others. We do so through teaching the Exchanged Life truths which were first presented by Dr. Charles Solomon in his book, 'Handbook to Happiness.' The term 'exchanged life' was coined by the famous missionary to China, Hudson Taylor, in a letter to his sister. He based the term on the concept that Paul taught in Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me." Each believer has exchanged self for Christ, but how do we live this out in our lives and relationships? This is the question that we endeavor to answer for each of our clients.
We also provide spiritual warfare counseling to those under enemy attack. Our counselor has been trained in using Dr. Neil Anderson's Seven Steps to Freedom and has incorporated concepts from other spiritual warfare authors in her version of these warfare prayers. Satan is an active opponent to all believers; however, he is not free to do whatever he wants to believers. He waits for believers to give him the opportunity to harass them in their thinking through temptation, accusations and deception. When believers choose to listen to Satan instead of the Holy Spirit, they give Satan ground (Eph. 4:26,27) or the opportunity to make their lives miserable. Our goal is to assist believers in praying in a manner that reclaims the ground that Satan has gained in their lives and then to retain it in freedom.

#4 Organize a Race
Even the famed Dipsea began with a single trail runner's vision. One day over 100 years ago, somebody was on the trail between Mill Valley and Stinson Beach, California, and thought, "I'd be darned if this wouldn't make an amazing race!" That one person's vision has since brought joy (and plenty of poison-oak rash) to tens of thousands of athletes. And what trail runner hasn't had a similar fantasy while out on a training jaunt?
Lisa Smith-Batchen did. And she acted on her idea, in 2005 hosting the inaugural Grand Teton Trail Races. Since then, she's added distances and today it's a journey of 13.1, 26.2, 50 or 100 miles in the shadows of some of the world's most iconic peaks.
"When we first moved to the Tetons, one of my dreams was to put on a race," says the 48-year-old Smith-Batchen, an elite ultramarathoner, triathlete, and running coach. Smith-Batchen explains how friends helped her to quickly learn the ropes of race directing: obtaining Forest Service approval, finding sponsors, and accomplishing her main goal—to make the Teton races a family event.
Despite the endless hours of hard work and early morning anxiety attacks, says Smith-Batchen, "The joy comes in watching people toe the starting line, coming through aid stations with their son or daughter helping them out, and then crossing the finish line."

Every year the city health department in Vineland, New Jersey, hosts a free rabies clinic during which local pet owners can bring their cats and dogs to get vaccinated by veterinarians, according to The Daily Journal. The free cat and dog vaccination clinic treated about 1,000 pets in Mid-January, and the event was so successful that the health department will be running another one in late February.
Rabies is a viral disease that nearly all animals, even people, are susceptible to contracting, and there is not yet a cure for the illness, according to VCA Animal Hospitals. This is why it is especially important to have your pets vaccinated. VCA recommends taking pets in for the rabies shot between 12 and 16 weeks of age. There may also be a need for follow-up vaccinations and your vet can provide further information on when these should be administered to your furry friend.
Rabies is transmitted through bites from rabid animals, so if you suspect that your pet has been in a fight with another animal, it is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Voter claims ballot is confusing
October 18, 2004
A Curry County woman says misuse of Spanish grammar on the state absentee ballots' inner envelope causes confusion as to whether the vote will be counted.
Election officials have acknowledged the mistake but said all votes will be counted.
Maria Cheverez said when she received her absentee ballot last week she noticed a Spanish translation on the official inner envelope states the envelope will not be opened until there is a recount of ballots.
A completed absentee ballot has two envelopes: An outer envelope that must be signed by the voter and an inner envelope which contains the ballot. The form is being used in all New Mexico counties.
In English, directions printed on inner envelopes state, "This envelope shall remain sealed until counting of ballots begins." Beneath the English version, the Spanish version states the envelope will stay closed until "El recuento de boletas de votacion" (The recount of the voting ballots).
Translated, "recuento" means "recount." Cheverez said the translation should be changed to "cuento," meaning "count."
Taken literally, the directions say the envelopes will not be opened until a recount takes place.
"How many people saw this and didn't notice or didn't even read it?" Cheverez asked. "I just wanted something corrected or acknowledged publicly so that voters know what they are signing and mailing."
Curry County Clerk Mario Trujillo said he attempted to contact Cheverez and left a message assuring that her vote would be counted.
With a resurgence of voter interest compounded by the election controversy in 2000, he said election offices have had mounted scrutiny placed on their work.
"She's just being picky. It is not in any way going to affect her vote," Trujillo said. "It is too late for this election but it will be rectified. I don't know what more she wants."
Cheverez said she is seeking a public statement from the Secretary of State's office or the removal of the inner envelopes' Spanish translation.
Ernie Marcus, election director for the Automative Election Services, said his company prints the envelopes for the Secretary of State's Office which approves the translation.
The percentage of Hispanics in Curry County is 30.4 percent, according to 2000 census figures reported by the Office of New Mexico Vital Records and Health Statistics. Statewide, 40 percent of New Mexicans are Hispanic.
Marcus verified the envelopes have been used since at least the 1998 primary election and approve most recently in 2002. He said envelopes prior to 1998 time have been destroyed.
"It has never become an issue but I acknowledge that it is incorrect," Marcus said. "In no way does it affect the process or the balloting."
Denise Lamb, director of the state Bureau of Elections for New Mexico, said the translation issue had not been brought to her attention.
"If it is the incorrect word we will certainly change it the next time we print," Lamb said. "(Cheverez's) vote will be counted, we count every vote."

On June 20, 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Secretary of State James A. Baker, III participated in the second of a series called "Conversations on Diplomacy," moderated by Charlie Rose. The Secretaries discussed the issues of the day and reflected on their experiences as America's top diplomat. You can watch a video of the event here or read the transcript here.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ To those concerned,
SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I think both Russia and China have a very strong aversion to interference in internal affairs.
MR. ROSE: Sovereignty issue.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Yes.
SECRETARY BAKER: Yeah.
SECRETARY CLINTON: And so for the Russians, we – I was with President Obama in Mexico two days ago. We had a two-hour meeting with President Putin. They're just – they don't want anything to do with it. They find it quite threatening, and basically they reject it out of hand. So anything that smacks of interference for the Russians and for the Chinese, they presume against. There are other reasons, but that's the principal objection that they make.
I got two words that will put both the Russian's and the Chinese logic of their adamant objections to interference in the sovereign internal stability of nations into question, and those words are "Georgia" and "Tibet".
The fact is they couldn't give a damn about sovereignity, or about the territorial integrity of other nations.
But just try to remove a pustulant dictator threatening the stability and territorial integrity of the nations in the region while slaughtering his own nation's people, then they pull the "sovreignity card" and try to wipe the dictator's butt with that argument and convince folks his backside is clean legally to do whatever he wants to inside his borders.
And here we have the current and a former Sec. of State basicly accepting that untennable and hypocritical position held by both these nations without so much as a rebuttle offered as to the flawed logic involved in taking such a stance when thousands are dying weekly in Syria.
As well, I must suggest to both the honorable secretaries that since they are engaging in some lofty hypothetical realms thinking out loud that were Assad to be included in a new Syrian election, that Russia might be ok with the results...and that Assad would gracefully step down if he lost.
Well, seems to me the Syrian people tried to have a re-call election, but there were no institutions of democracy to support the protests for one, and the regime's violent reaction for another guranteed that folks would eventually take up arms against that government. As well as about 15,000 dead trying to make their voices count, and a vote be held.
It shoulb be the stated public policy of the US that the soveregnity of any nation is held in trust and preserved by its people, wherby any government is simply the temporary steward of their sovereign rights as a people.
One any government has abused the people's rights to excercise sovereign control over its government institutions and leadership, such "stewardship" as that government may have excercised is thus rendered illegitimate and revokable at any time, by both the people and any nation willing to stand with the people to protect and restore their soverign duty to preserve their nation.
And this is the rebuttle that the Russians must be made to understand, because until they do, they don't have a clue how to create a true democracy in Russia.
That's just a "given" realization that must take place in order to create one.
Why "protect populations" if that intevention does not also protect their sovereign unity as a people, as well as their territorial integrity while a nation be in political transition?
And if this is the true basis for legitimate concern, then the international community is beholden to make proper arrangements to help a people transition through crisis, rather that abdicate one's responsibility by stating "they want nothing to do with it."
So I hope my logic here will help folks turn the corner on this argument, and move beyond its intransigence to find a working solution.

Bill in the United Kingdom writes:
What is everyones take on Rio 20?
According to a lot of people Rio 20 did not achieve anything except political grandstanding. No agreements, no way forward, and some key nations did not even turn up. Sure it creates a focal point for issues and gets awareness out there, and nations will proceed as they are, some championing these causes, some not. As far as I am aware a global consensus is non-existant. Can't wait until the next one when they all sit down to talk about what needs to happen, and the next, and the next. I think the whole approach may be wrong. A and B should simply be combined to say a 'Sustainable Global Economy' and definitions around it should include a 'transition' to a renewable energy global economy and maintenence of ecosystem function at a level to sustain human survial and wellbeing. Maybe it would make us look after it better (ecosystems), and we then accept significant loss of biodiversity in the interim, which will happen, as will the consequences of climate change play out..Accept and adapt as I challenge anyone to honestly say we can now do anything on a global scale about stopping what is going to happen.

A legacy to treasure
Today is the memorial service for Elizabeth "Kris" Beal, truly a remarkable former "first lady" of the State University of Fredonia.
Mrs. Beal was deeply devoted to her husband, the late Dallas K. Beal, who served as the 10th president of the university. Indeed, Kris was deeply devoted to her family, she loved them dearly. Truly, the State University at Fredonia had a special place in her heart; she cherished this university and the university cherished her.
Mrs. Beal was a treasured "human jewel" of this community, the University, and of humanity in general. Kris was beloved by all who knew her … students, faculty and staff, parents, citizens, and by those who may not have known her personally, but who richly benefited from her caring and genuinely loving spirit. She was a woman of great human generosity.
Mrs. Beal was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was a most gracious first lady of the University, and a highly respected and beloved citizen of this community. Kris was a highly talented and accomplished watercolorist, a fine musician, a marvelous homemaker and hostess, and was always there with a generous heart … at just the right time and place.
Through the years, Kris was beloved by hundreds of the university students, who knew and respected her as truly a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. Often, she provided a listening ear and receptive heart for those students who were away from home for the first time and needed her special kind of gentle and loving support. Kris also provided the same kind of reassuring hospitality and warmth for faculty, staff, and all associated with the University and the community. Kris was just that kind of compassionate, thoughtful, and gentle person.
Indeed, Mrs. Beal is genuinely missed. Her generosity, graciousness, sincerity, thoughtfulness, and kindness, will last within the hearts of those who knew her, from generation to generation. That is her legacy which will never be forgotten.

Arizona Wildcats
Dan Buckner, Matt Scott selected to play in East-West Game
Although their UA days may be behind them, former Wildcats quarterback Matt Scott and wide receiver Dan Buckner still have every intent to continue their respective football careers.
This week, the duo was selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game. The game will be held January 19 in St. Petersburg, Fla., and UA fans can watch it live, as it will be televised by the NFL Network.
Scott, a second-team All-Pac-12 selection in 2012, hopes to be the second consecutive Wildcats quarterback to be taken in the NFL draft. Nick Foles was chosen in the third round of last April's draft by the Philadelphia Eagles and went on to make six starts during his rookie season.
Buckner, who had 61 catches for 733 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2012, hopes to join former teammates Juron Criner and Tevin Wade in the NFL next season. In the 2012 draft, Criner was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the fifth round, and Wade was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the seventh round.
Heading into the Shrine Game, NFLDraftScout.com projects Scott to be taken in the fourth round and Buckner to go undrafted.

Jerry Pickard Kent—Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two outstanding athletes from Chatham—Kent. The first is Meaggan Wilton. Meaggan was a virtual unknown in 1998 but scored the winning run that qualified Canada to compete in the Olympics. Now she is in Sydney with the Canadian National Women's Softball Team. That is a dream came true.
The second is past Olympian Shae-Lynn Bourne. On the ice Shae-Lynn and her partner Victor Kraatz have dazzled crowds. They have won seven Canadian championships and four consecutive bronze medals at the World Championships.
Off the ice Shae-Lynn's courageous public stand for fairer judging practices has brought about positive changes in the rules for all competitors. For her efforts Shae-Lynn has just received the Governor General's Meritorious Service Cross.
I congratulate Meaggan and Shae-Lynn, two outstanding ambassadors for Canada.

Guy St-Julien Abitibi, QC
Mr. Speaker, for months I have been calling for a cut in the federal excise tax and the Bouchard government's road tax on gas and diesel fuel, as well as for Canadian fuel companies to give a breakdown at the pump and on the bill of the gross price of a litre of gas, along with all the taxes separately.
This year I asked for an emergency debate, but it was denied. Why do the opposition parties not call for an opposition day debate on the prices of gas, diesel fuel and fuel oil?

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the House debated organized crime but today we have to talk about postage stamps for terrorists. Canada Post is considering the issuance of a vanity stamp for Velupillai Prabhakaran, leader of the Tamil tigers, the ruthless terrorist organization.
The government has already allowed a vanity stamp for Kumar Ponnambalam, a well known supporter of the Tamil tigers. That stamp was issued in violation of Canada Post's vanity stamp program rules requiring the consent and permission of the person to be pictured. Kumar was deceased and he could not give permission, but still the Liberals gave him a stamp.
Liberals have not only given tax free status and made Canada a haven for terrorists. Now they issue them stamps. Rather than stamping out terrorism, they have put terrorists on our stamps.
Did the finance minister promise to approve it when he was attending the Tamil tiger fundraiser along with the CIDA minister? How many more terrorist stamps—

Peter Milliken Kingston and the Islands, ON
Mr. Speaker, my constituents in Kingston and the Islands are rejoicing at the triumph of Simon Whitfield from Kingston in the men's triathlon at the Sydney Olympics.
Mr. Whitfield's gold medal is a tribute to his dedication to his sport, where he has excelled for a number of years. All Canadians were moved to see the magnificent finish in his race when he surged ahead of his opponents to win the big prize.
Sharon Donnelly, another of Kingston's athletes at the games, participated in the women's triathlon. Ms. Donnelly was a strong and hopeful medal contender, but she was involved in a bike crash caused by other riders. Despite knowing that a top finish was gone for her and despite her injuries and pain, Sharon got back on to her bicycle and finished her Olympic triathlon showing great courage.
I know my colleagues on all sides of the House join me and my constituents in congratulating Simon Whitfield and Sharon Donnelly on their accomplishments.
Korean War

Paul Mercier Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Korean war has been called Canada's forgotten war, although 27,000 Canadian soldiers took part in it. Of these, 516 Canadians, 113 of them Quebecers in the 22e Régiment, perished. They must not die forgotten.
I wish to mention last Sunday's unveiling in Quebec City of a commemorative plaque in tribute to these Quebecers. The 22e Régiment laid on a guard of honour for this ceremony, which was attended by Quebec's Lieutenant Governor, Lise Thibault. I find it regrettable that the Department of Veterans Affairs did not see fit to contribute financially to this tribute, as it was asked to do.
Personally, and on behalf of the Bloc Quebecois, I congratulate the Korea Veterans Association of Canada, especially Roland Boutot and his wife, Carmen, on this fine initiative, which will serve as a memory to future generations of the sacrifice made by these Quebecers, who lost their lives in the Korean war.

John Bryden Wentworth—Burlington, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadians are tired of political party leaders who want to download government, who urge slashing taxes to benefit the rich, who are prepared to jeopardize our health by privatizing public services, who think backbench politicians are better at home in their riding schmoozing for votes than debating how to make the best laws possible.
Canadians are not fooled by political party leaders who think governing is a series of personal photo ops, publicity stunts, private press conferences and attack ads. I have proof, unassailable proof. On September 8, in a provincial byelection in my riding, the Liberal candidate swung 20,000 votes away from the Ontario Tories in a landslide rejection of the policies of Premier Mike Harris.
Where walks Mike Harris stalks the leader of the Canadian Alliance. It may take some time—

Organized Crime
Statements By Members

Jim Abbott Kootenay—Columbia, BC
Mr. Speaker, last night the House sat until after midnight debating the issue of organized crime in Canada. This insidious force that is a cancer in Canadian society has grown in our lives in the last seven years under the Liberal government.
In their speeches last night it was evident that the justice minister and solicitor general have no concept of the complexity of this problem. They do not understand that organized crime presents a threat not only to the personal security of Canadians but also to Canada's national security as terrorists link arms with organized crime. Dangerous forces attempt to undermine the freedom of speech and association of Canadians as they threaten, coerce and attempt to bribe people in public life.
When will the government finally get serious and recognize the solid link between organized crime and national security? It is time the government came forward with a strategy that will encompass foreign affairs, immigration, armed forces, CSIS and our national police forces. A united solid front is the only wall between Canadians and the forces of destruction.
International Development

September 19th, 2000 / 1:50 p.m.
Eugène Bellemare Carleton—Gloucester, ON
Mr. Speaker, on September 5, the Minister for International Cooperation tabled a five-year plan targeting four key sectors of social development in developing countries.
A total of $2.8 billion will be invested in these priority sectors over the next five years. Funding for health and nutrition will more than double, while amounts earmarked for basic education, the fight against HIV/AIDS, and the protection of children will quadruple.
CIDA's social development priorities will allow Canada to bring a greater focus to its international development priorities. It will ensure that Canadian resources are invested where the needs are most pressing.
This framework for action presents a clear vision that will make Canada's development assistance program even more effective in building a better quality of life for some of the poorest and most marginalized people in the world.
Canadian Alliance

Lorne Nystrom Qu'Appelle, SK
Mr. Speaker, welcome to the Bay Street golden trough Olympics where Liberal, Tory and Alliance parties fiercely compete for corporate gold.
Bay Street dinners have seen Tories charge $500 a plate, the Liberals $1,000 and the Alliance's Tom Long $5,000 a person for a picnic in the Muskokas. However this year's winner of the golden trough award is the so-called grassroots Canadian Alliance for organizing a $25,000 a table corporate fundraiser in Toronto.
Twenty-five thousand dollars is the yearly income of an average working family in my riding. Twenty-five thousand dollars is more than two years salary for a person working at minimum wage in the province of Alberta.
This is the Alliance's price for democracy. This is its price for access to its corporate agenda. This is a party where Bay Street is now paying the piper and a party where Bay Street will call the tune.

Ghislain Lebel Chambly, QC
Mr. Speaker, the government House leader thinks we oppose his coming to Quebec because he is a Franco-Ontarian.
I would remind the leader that the Bloc Quebecois opposes visits by all federal ministers touring Quebec at the expense of the Canada Information Office, the famous CIO, in tours organized by the good friend of the Minister of Public Works, Michèle Tremblay, and a former Liberal candidate, Serge Paquette, to whom the Liberals have paid out over $4.2 million since 1997.
Why are the visits to Quebec only? Why the heck are these visits organized by the CIO and not by the various ministers' offices? Why are the contracts for the organization of these visits being given to friends of the Liberal Party of Canada?
The government leader would be better advised to rise in defence of his minority, which has been rather mishandled these days.

Mr. Speaker, I am a member of parliament and I am a Liberal. I believe in universal health care and the Canada Health Act, not the CA's two tier American style health care system.
I promote tax cuts, not the CA's proposal for a flat tax. I wear a business suit, not a wet suit, thank goodness. I do not even own a personal watercraft. I work seven days a week, not four. I believe in a clear majority on a clear question, not the Bloc's intention to confuse Quebecers and other Canadians.
I believe in sound fiscal management, not the NDP's urge to spend, spend, spend. I believe that when we circle the wagons we shoot outward unlike the Conservative view of pulling together.
By the way, I believe in the Canadian Olympic dream. Our team will win more medals to come and the 2008 Olympics are coming to Canada. Yes, I am Canadian and I am a Liberal.

Mr. Speaker, I am a Progressive Conservative and on behalf of the Progressive Conservative caucus I am pleased to welcome back to the House of Commons the new member for Kings—Hants.
I had the honour and pleasure of serving with this member from 1988 to 1993, at which time he proved to be an outstanding international leader and represented our country so very well.
More recently I served with him going door to door in Kings—Hants and could not help but be impressed as people came out to shake his hand. They brought their children across the street. They said "I want my daughter to meet Joe Clark. I want my son to meet Joe Clark". This is just an indication of the honour and respect that people hold for this man.
There is a void in Canadian politics that is not now being met. Under his leadership in the House, the Progressive Conservative Party will now fill that void. Every single one of us will be there to follow his leadership in reaching out to Canadians and meeting their needs.
On behalf of his entire caucus welcome back to the House of Commons, the Right Hon. Joe Clark.

The Holocaust represented a contradiction in perception: ordered, regimented evil and unrestrained, billowing pain. For decades, artists have sought to capture the ineffable destruction that befell the Jewish people.
"Shoah: A Table of Elements" describes the task of making order of the ungraspable. In so doing, it works to release some of the emotional charge of our most raw subjects, while evoking the more prominent associations of the Holocaust: the gases, the smoke, the debris.
"Shoah: A Table of Elements" is a meditation on how we commit to memory, how we use symbols, and how we represent that which we cannot behold.

|Scotty Lago spins above the pipe as he finished second in the FIS Snowboard Halfpipe World Cup at the Sprint U.S. Grand Prix on Feb. 1, 2013, in Park City, Utah.
The winter sports are starting to wrap up, but there's still plenty of action this weekend as the Nordic skiing world championships continue in Italy, plus biathlon, snowboarding, speedskating, figure skating and curling all have events. Closer to home, some of the world's best gymnasts meet in Massachusetts for the American Cup. Check out the Team USA Weekend Preview for more information.
For the first time, the 31st annual Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships presented by MINI are being held in Vail, Colo., and already the snowboarders are putting on quite a show. Kelly Clark and Scotty Lago qualified for the top two spots for the halfpipe finals which are set for Saturday. Arielle Gold, who claimed the world crown earlier this season, was second as was two-time Olympic champion Shaun White.
The event had been held in Vermont before moving to Vail this year.
In slopestyle, Canadian Spencer O'Brien led the women's field with her winning run and right behind her was American Jamie Anderson. The top six riders advanced to the final. On the men's side, Norwegian Torstein Horgmo took first place with American Eric Willett in second. Twelve men qualified for the finals including Americans Willett, Chas Guldemond, Sage Kotsenburg and Ryan Stassel.

FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, Feb. 20-March 3, Val di Fiemme, Italy
The women's cross country relay team added to a strong U.S. performance at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships by posting a fourth-place finish, its best for a world championships or an Olympic Winter Games. Jessie Diggins, the relay's anchor, passed Finland for fourth place in the final few hundred meters of her segment. Liz Stephen, Kikkan Randall and Sadie Bjornsen were the other members of the squad.
The women's best previous finish in the relay at the Nordic World Ski Championships was ninth place two years ago. The women did finish seventh at the Lake Placid 1980 Olympic Winter Games and Sarajevo 1984 Olympic Winter Games. Randall and Diggins also made history last week by winning gold in the team sprint.
"It's hard to come up with a real solid strategy on the relay because you never know maybe you'll be in a pack, maybe you'll be chasing someone down, maybe you'll be by yourself," Diggins said. "But I watched these girls doing a really great job. I was proud of them. I knew I had to give it everything I got."
The worlds finish up with the men's relay Friday, followed by a 30km women's event Saturday and a 50km men's event Sunday. The Nordic Combined team sprint will be held Saturday.

AT&T American Cup, March 2, Worcester, Mass.
Olympic bronze medalist Danell Leyva returns to competition on U.S. soil Saturday at the AT&T American Cup, a competition bringing together some of the world's top gymnasts in Worcester, Mass.
"I can't wait to compete," Leyva said. "These guys are amazing. The lineup is huge. I can't wait to show off, you know?"
Jake Dalton, another 2012 Olympian, also will compete in the men's program at the DCU Center. Katelyn Ohashi and Simone Biles will represent the United States in the eight-person women's field.
Leyva is the defending American Cup men's champion. Among the gymnasts he will face Saturday is Germany's Marcel Nguyen, who took the silver ahead of Leyva in the all-around at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Kyla Ross, a 2012 Olympic gold medalist as a member of the "Fierce Five" U.S. team, withdrew from the competition due to a bruised heel. Ross intends to still attend the event and may perform an exhibition routine on the balance beam, depending on now her heel is feeling.
The event will be the senior division debuts for Ohashi and Biles. Ohashi won junior gold medals in the all-around, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise at the 2012 Kellogg's Pacific Rim Championships. Biles won the junior vault title at the 2012 Visa Championships.

In this tutorial, we will focus on users that have installed CUBRID from apt-get. If this is the case, then the databases should be located in /var/opt/cubrid/databases or /opt/cubrid/databases.
If you upgrade from 8.4.0 to 8.4.1 or 8.4.3 for example, you only need to save the databases folder, uninstall and reinstall CUBRID using the following commands:
mkdir -p /home/user/database_backup cp -R /var/opt/cubrid/databases /home/user/database_backup sudo apt-get remove cubrid sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install cubrid cp -R /home/user/database_backup/* /var/opt/cubrid/databases/
Make sure to adapt "home/user" to your user. You can remove the backup folder database_backup after you start CUBRID and check if the databases are running correctly.
Important! Make sure that /var/opt/cubrid/databases/databases.txt file contains the right paths to the database folders.
If you want to perform a completely safe upgrade indepent of the CUBRID version, instead of copying the databases folder like in the above approach, you should use cubrid unloaddb to export all databases in a backup folder, then uninstall CUBRID, update repository and install the new CUBRID version. Finally, you must import the databases into the new CUBRID instance by running cubrid loaddb.

Greenspace Management rescues weathering trees, mow our city's lawns, and even go after pesky, creepy insects, like the Gumbo Limbo Spiraling Whitefly that started attacking our city's trees 2010. A division of the Parks and Recreation Department, our City's Greenspace Management Division (GMD) is no ordinary bunch. It is made up of five sections:• Administration
• Landscape Planning and Design
• Urban Forestry
• Greenspace Maintenance
• Contract AdministrationThanks to over 70 employees, we can marvel at healthy, beautiful, and clean landscapes, parks, gateways, and vibrant Lincoln Road."The five sections of the GMD provide distinct services that are also complementary and cooperative in order to achieve our Department's mission," said John Oldenburg, Parks and Recreation Assistant Director, who oversees the division's staff, budget and its activities.The Landscape Planning and Design section (LPD) of Greenspace conducts general plan review and permitting (and design) of Park, landscape and irrigation projects for the city. They play a role in making sure that city structures have enough "appropriate green" before they are built. The LPD team also gets our dog parks and community gardens up and running and maintains them, among many other responsibilities. In 2008, this division got the attention of other cities and heads of major companies, for creating the Healthy Tree Fertilization System to keep our trees healthy in their urban settings.The Division's Greenspace Maintenance section provide landscape maintenance and customer delivery at all non-contracted parks, municipal buildings, medians, chops, right-of-ways, street-ends, bridge approaches and Lincoln Road.The Contract Administration Section are responsible for supervision of the contracted landscape maintenance program for the Julia Tuttle and MacArthur causeways, the Boardwalk and Beachwalk, and many other contracted sites. They also provide support to three the City's community gardens.The Urban Forestry Section provides regulatory oversight of the City's tree ordinance and expert assessment of hazardous trees, mitigation actions, and citywide tree-care operations. In 2007, the Urban Forestry section developed the City's reforestation plan, which replaced thousands of trees lost during the 2005/06 natural disasters and has planted 6500 trees of 100 different species citywide, along with the Office of Capital Improvement Projects.In 2010/11, the Urban Forestry Section has been busy trying to preserve two groups of important and historic trees in our city, the Australian Pine trees that line Pinetree Drive, which have been suffering due to their old age and Meridian Avenue's Calophyllum trees, which were damaged by last year's winter weather. Some of the Australian Pine Trees may require removal and the Calophyllum trees will be undergoing restoration pruning this year to remove damaged and dead limbs.The Greenspace Management Division is funded by the City's general fund; redevelopment sources and the inter-local agreement. Team members participate in:• Miami-Dade County Community Image Advisory Board• Street Tree Working Group• Tropical Arborist Guild• CMB Greenspace/Tree Advocacy Group• Tree City USA• CMB Beautification Committee
