Stone Temple Pilots' Robert DeLeo Talks 'High Rise'
Could this story have a happy ending? Just a few months ago, that seemed impossible. How would the band replace the brilliant but troubled Scott Weiland, one of the most iconic vocalists and performers of his generation? Newly christened "Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington," what would the band sound like with the Linkin Park frontman at the helm? With the Oct. 8 release of High Rise, the band's new five-song EP, we're about to find out. I spoke with songwriter, bassist, and founding member Robert DeLeo about the band's past, present, and future.
TheStreet: At your live show, there's an unmistakable sense of joy on the stage. That joy also permeates High Rise. How happy are you with the state of the band right now?
DeLeo: Very happy -- it's a new chapter for Stone Temple Pilots. We're excited and we're enjoying ourselves. I look at it this way -- there are a lot of people in this world who work hard and don't enjoy it. Playing music, its work but I feel really blessed to say I make music in my life. What's more enjoyable than to have the gift of doing that?
Chester Bennington's vocals on High Rise are going to surprise a lot of people. He sounds almost angelic at times. Were you surprised by his versatility, or were you aware of this all along?
We were aware of it. It's like any artist, actor or entertainer -- I always use Jim Carrey as an example. He made all these great, funny movies, and then when he did a serious role, people were like, "What is he DOING?" People get used to seeing you one way, and they have certain expectations.
Linkin Park has made a huge imprint, and people are obviously going to associate him with their sound. But when someone steps out, and gets into another environment, you see another side of that person. I think that's healthy for everyone.
Black Heart is a very catchy song, how did that come about?
It's always a challenge to come up with something new. I wanted to write something that would encompass everything -- great power chords, great stringy chords, and tie it all together. I think on Interstate Love Song, I accomplished that. With Black Heart, when Chester started singing, it brought out this Lennon-esque vibe and we ran with it, and really enjoyed where it took us.
Was Interstate Love Song written in the back of a truck?
On our first tour, we had an RV and a truck. Sometimes I'd ride in the back of the truck with my cheap nylon-string acoustic guitar. That's where the song originated. Interstate Love Song originally had a bossa nova beat. I wrote the chords, and then wrote the melody and I showed it to Scott. But yeah, it was born in the back of a truck driving around the country.
Who did you admire when you started playing bass?
At age three I have a vivid memory of hearing James Jamerson, who is my favorite bass player - period. He played on all those great Motown songs. Also, I grew up in New Jersey, and the Philly sound in the '70s really influenced me.
My bass playing is really influenced by R&B, but I started out on guitar, which was more of a rock thing. I can vividly remember being turned on by Brown Sugar from Sticky Fingers at a very young age.

PACran provides a unique class of proanthocyanidins that is clinically shown to resist adhesion of unwelcome bacteria in the urinary tract. Good probiotic bacteria dominate the urinary and vaginal (urogenital) flora of healthy women. Specific probiotics benefit healthy urogenital systems by inhibiting pathogenic bacteria. They resist attachment of undesirable bacteria to the vaginal lining, and/or produce hydrogen peroxide, lactic acid and other natural substances, which retard growth of potentially harmful bacteria. Probiotics plus PACran may help maintain healthy urogenital microflora.

Topic: Deploying Rails on Pair Networks
Does any one have any experience deploying a Rails project on Pair Networks?
I have had quite an experience trying to get this project off the ground. Everything seems to be installed correct with Apache 1.3 using FastCGI. I can get the project to function using CGI, but for some reason, whenever I make the switch in the .htaccess file to .fcgi the project quickly because plagued by the dreaded 500 error.
When I look in the Apache logs I am getting this error.
"FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server"
I have been able to find a ton of posts where deleting the sessions from the /tmp folder solves it or in some cases the Add Handler fastcgi-script .fcgi was not added to the .htaccess file. I believe I have covered these bases.
Does anyone have some ideas I could try?
At this point I have spend more time trying to deploy my Rails project than I actually spent building it.

Extremely realistic with hand-painted detailing and a life-like profile, the Tylure Kicker Sunfish accurately mimics a live Sunfish. The bait's incredibly flexible two-joint system allows for free movement in the water and facilitates the bait's enticing swimming motion. Also, anglers can fish every Tylure Kicker Sunfish right out of the package because each one has been tank-tested and hand-tuned to ensure they swim properly before they leave the Tylure facilities.
Durability is also a major concern when targeting some of the strongest fish in the water, and the Tylure Kicker Sunfish is built with that in mind. Stainless steel components, urethane construction, primer coating and a super tough clear coating process all combine to ensure maximum durability - strike after strike. All Kicker Series baits also come equipped with a "hook slot tube" to hold the ultra sharp Owner Treble Hook up against the body of the bait. This allows for better hooksets, as well as, a more realistic presentation (because the hook isn't dangling below the bait). Once a fish is on - the "slot tube" will come free so that the fish can't use the weight of the lure to throw the hook. Designed to provide anglers with the highest quality lures on the water, every Tylure Kicker Sunfish is completely hand made one-at-a-time to ensure maximum quality and performance.

Comments: this lure looks awesome online and i was super stoked to get it, i bought the slow sink version. i received mine and it kinda looked like a 3 year old painted some of it. the worst part was the slow sink i ordered? was actually a floater. i bought the slow sink and the package it came in even said slow sink. my overall opinion is that the lure looks good. but with all the troubles i had not worth no 25 dollars.
From: Taylor: MI 10/21/14
Comments: So, I love the way this bait swims and looks. Realistic details in the paint and swimming action. But it didnt take my long to break on me. The rubber piece of the bottom that holds the hook in place came right off on probably my 4th or 5th cast. I gorilla-glued it back on and it works fine but that shouldn't happen for 25$
From: Nate: USA 4/6/14
Comments: For the money you can't beat it. Has good swimming action on it. Draw back is that the small side fins fall after wear and tear but does not affect the swimming action at all. And hook moves too freely. Can fixed bye using small rubberband to secure.
From: Ryan: CA
Comments: Easily the best swimming panfish swimbait out there. Looks the most lifelike and built to last. The hooks are super sharp and caught two fish and super big too.
From: David: Sylmar, Ca
Comments: The side fins are easy to get loose and then come off and lost in the lake. One bad thing about this bait is they are not stable and easy to flap to one side when retrived back at any speed...
From: Yufeng: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Comments: This bait is hands down the best bluegill swimbait out there. I have thrown them all and this one gets bit where others don't. I weighed 26 lbs. in my last tourney on these, wish tacklwarehouse carried all the colors. Get one or two you will whack 'em no doubt.
From: Danny: CA
Comments: might not be the most lifelike swimbait out there but I have A LOT of swimbaits and hands down these are some of the best built,tough like a tank,swim lifelike,quality resin and composite.and all this for $25,I'm not compairing these to my ragos,jsj,vagabonds,fisharrows or many of my jdm swimbaits.but these deff. Are a great bait and will last.I love mine and have caught several memory maker fish off them.if you go on the tylure website they have a lot more colors,my fav. Colors are female gill,crappie and the perch.
From: Steve: USA
Comments: Got my bait, detail is sub-par. Action was good, but the bait had a very bad habit of rolling on it's side because the dorsal fin, on the second joint, was set crooked. Returned with disappointment.
From: Max: C. Cal
Comments: buy it one of the best baits you can get worth alot more than $25
From: San: Mass
Comments: I LOVE THESE BAITS..they look decent but the quality in these is top notch, they swim PERFECT!!! and are a great size for all the biggins. all that for only $25, cant go wrong. i have every color of these cept for the tilapia.the male gill, crappie and perch are my top producers. to me these baits are worth far more then what they go for and they last hit after hit season after season. still havent had to tune a single one or make minor repairs to mine yet.cant say that about other swimbaits just like these that are $50. ill trade anyone my mattslures anyday for some more of these. keep up the awesome baits tyler!!!
From: Sam: Orland Park, IL
Comments:Best bed bait out there! My biggest fish this spring was 13.2 lbs. on the pumpkineed. It's caught me lots of fish so far and holds up very well. Swims good too. I have a few and I suggest them.
From:Tom: Simi Valley, CA
Comments:One of the badest bluegills out there. My first time out I caught 11 smallies on it, all of them were two and three pound smallie and one four pound largie. I was blowen away then I took it to my home lake Castaic. The bluegill bite was on at the lagoon, so I went and tried it down there and sure enough I started catching largies. I love Tylures! My biggest at Castaic is a 5 pounder but the smallies love it the most, give a try they work.
From:Mieger: Castaic, CA
Comments:Pictures of the paint schemes don't do the baits justice, you have to see them to appreciate em'!!! Very well built baits (have 4 & 2 8" kicker trouts, 1 6" kicker trout, 1 bluegill male).

Transcript: Vilsack Announces $40 Million to Address Bark Beetle (December 8, 2009)
Susan Carter: Good morning, I'm Susan Carter, and I'll be your moderator for today's media briefing. The subject matter today is a major announcement on forest health. And, the speakers that we have in the studio this morning are agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack and he's joined by Colorado governor, Bill Ritter.
Callers, if you want to ask questions of the panel, just press star 1 on your touch tone pad, and indicate that you want to do so. From there, we now go to agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack.
Tom Vilsack: Susan, thank you very much. As I have traveled across the country, I've had an opportunity to spend a some time in a number of western states, specifically in Colorado. There, as a result of governor Ritter's work and a number of other western governors, I became very acutely aware of the bark beetle infestation, which is devastating a lot of forests in the western United States.
This has been an issue that congressional leaders in those states and Colorado and South Dakota, and Wyoming in particular have educated us on. And, they have challenged the forest service and United States Department of Agriculture to help provide resources for additional help. So, today, I'm pleased to announce the USDA forest service will commit $40 million in additional funding to address the forest service Rocky Mountain regions public safety concerns and forest health needs associated with millions of acres of dead and dying trees from bark beetle infestations in the west.
As we know, the bark beetle is in epidemic stages across western states with millions of acres impacted and effected. Those areas have been especially severe and especially profound in the Rocky Mountain region of the forest service where over 2.5 million acres have already been affected.
The epidemic has severe impact on the forest health and has resulted in a dramatic increase in the danger of trees falling on roads, trails, and recreation areas. We are also deeply concerned about the increased fire hazard caused by dead and dying trees.
Earlier this year, I laid out of a vision for the forest service, in which I cited severe forest health problems. The action we take today is an important component of our plan to move forward with the needed restoration efforts, to make forests more resilient to climate change, to protect our water resources, and to protect and preserve forests for future generations.
These resources will also help to create jobs at a time when every state is anxious to get people back to work, doing the work that Americans want done. The work will include reducing hazardous fuel items, road and trail maintenance, where falling trees are a problem, there will also be additional assistance to state and local governments, as they deal with this problem as well.
The additional funds will come from a variety of sources. $23.6 million of the $40 million fund will come from additional funds, through a national funding allocation process conducted by the forest service, $10 million will be redirected from region 2 within existing allocations, $5 million will come from the -- redirecting recovery and reinvestment funds appropriated for wild land and fire management and from savings from where projects came in under budget, and $2 million will be allocated from a national carryover of prior year appropriations.
We want to be flexible, as we move forward with this, we want to work in concert with state and local governments. While the forest service attempted to provide additional funds for types of work needed, in some cases, we may need to adjust our allocations. As needs for different types of funding are identified, the forest service will attempt to adjust funding to reprogram funds.
I've instructed Chief Tidwell of the forest service to work closely with other agencies in the federal government, with congress and with state and local governments, to assure that an increased funding is directed to the bark beetle impacted areas as quickly as possible.
So, this is about forest health. It's about making good on our promise to restore our forest, it's also about creating jobs at a time when that is very important. And, someone who has been an advocate, along with Governor [Rouse] in South Dakota, and Governor Freudenthal from Wyoming, for additional assistance, and who has been very forceful the need for this additional assistance is Governor Ritter. A good friend from the state of Colorado, and so I'm going to give Governor Ritter a chance to make a few comments, and then we'll be glad to answer a few questions. Governor?
Governor Ritter: Thank you Secretary Vilsack. Thank you for inviting me here today for this significant demonstration of federal support for the health of our national and regional forests. As you know, I sent you a letter last month, stressing the need for additional funding for the Rocky Mountain states. And, I know you just referenced that you also heard from Governors Freudenthal and Rouse, and from several members of congress, including our senators, Senator Bennett, and Senator Udall.
Combined effect of massive bark beetle epidemics, perennial risk of catastrophic wild fires, and a struggling forest industry have left forests in Colorado and other western states really at great risk; risk to our economy, risk to our communities, risk to our water supplies, risk to our property and risk to human life. Even in a tough economy like this, we can't afford to ignore these challenges or these threats.
I've been working closely with stakeholders at every level, lead by my own forest health advisory council, to increase these resources and reduce these risks. Local governments, the state legislature, and our congressional delegation have all been really significant partners in this fight. So have the thousands of individual Coloradans who have fired up saws, hired their own contractors.
But, state and local action alone will not address the critical needs in Colorado or in the other Rocky Mountain states. With the majority of forested land in federal ownership, we just need a strong partner in Washington DC, and I think that today, Mr. Secretary, you've shown what a strong partner you are.
On behalf of my fellow governors, Governor Freudenthal, Governor Rouse, and all of region 2, I thank you for securing this vital funding. Thanks for listening. Thanks for leading. We can -- we look forward to continuing our partnership with you, sir. Thanks.
Susan Carter: As we wait for people to call in, I want to ask you a question. You talked about the risks. With fire, people, there are more obvious risks that come to mind. But, when you talk about the beetle infestation, what are some of those risks that are not as obvious to the eco system, to our health, to the health of the forest?
Governor Ritter: Well, it really does actually damage the whole eco system. I think the added risk of fire may be the most significant, because, that actually is not just about fire, it's about what happens with erosion that comes from fire, and then what happens to the water sheds, and quite frankly, on the front range, where we have such a significant part of the population, the water shed that -- you know, first is where the water comes from, is in peril.
And so, our reaction we would have to undertake in order to respond to the danger to the water shed, or to clean water supplies, is pretty significant itself. So, there's just a whole range of issues that flow from the prospect of a catastrophic wildfire. And, you're right, an eco system. I mean, many parts of the area that we're talking about have some of the largest mule, deer, and elk populations in the country. And, in addition to other habitat that is utilized by forest animals, it's just a risk.
It's -- for us, a great resource. And, actually, part of our economy depends heavily on our tourist economy. There are just many parts to this issue, that if we don't react and try to react in a responsible faction, we could see some devastating effects.
Susan Carter: Callers, if you want to participate, press star 1 on your touch tone pad, and it looks like we do have callers. We will go to Judith Koler with the associated press in Denver, Judith.
Judith Koler: Okay, I apologize, I was having some technical issues. What is the total funding, and how will it be distributed?
Tom Vilsack: Judith, the total amount of funding we are announcing today is an additional $40 million of resources that will be directed to the needs associated with the millions of acres of dead and dying trees from the bark beetle infestation. The funds come from a variety of sources. 23.6 million is coming from a national funding allocation process the forest service just completed.
We're going to reallocate within the region 2 basic allocation of $10 million directed towards the bark beetle infestation, $5 million is coming from the recovery and reinvestment act resources that were designed for wild land fire management, a number of projects that we had under this particular part of the recovery and reinvestment act came in under budget, so that allows us to do more work.
And, finally, there was a carryover from prior year appropriations of about $2 million. The combined total is $40 million. It will be utilized in a variety of different ways. There's going to be a great deal of flexibility. We obviously want to work with our state and local partners, but we intend to use this to focus on hazardous fuel reduction, on road and trail maintenance and on providing assistance to state and local governments so that they, in turn, can do the work that they need to do, to protect their interests.
Susan Carter: Next on the line is Ben Goad, with the Press Enterprise.
Ben Goad: Yes, thanks very much. Mr. Secretary, do you have a breakdown, a state-by-state breakdown on how the money is going to be allocated and can you say whether any of the money will go to Southern California's forest?
Tom Vilsack: We -- I don't have a breakdown, today, on the specific allocation of these resources. I do know that there will be obviously a heavy emphasis, where the bark beetle infestation is probably the most severe, in Colorado, South Dakota, and Wyoming. That's why I've instructed Chief Tidwell and others to work closely with the administration, with congress, and our state and local partners to figure out precisely how the allocations are going to take place.
We wanted to send a strong message in light of the western governors who were mentioned by Governor Ritter himself, Governor Freudenthal and Governor Rouse communicating to me a specific need and a direct need for immediate help.
Susan Carter: Next on the line is Bill Thompson with Dow Jones. Bill?
Bill Thompson: Hi Mr. Secretary, can you address, if at all, how this infestation and what you're doing will have an impact on the lumber industry? It's not a topic I know much about, but I understand that the -- and I think they call it the flying bark beetle, I don't know if it's the same thing you're talking about --
Tom Vilsack: It is -- it is, Bill. Well, obviously there are a number of industries that are going to be impacted by this announcement. You know, as we look at hazardous fuel reduction, there are opportunities, and I think frankly, one of the best opportunities that's often under appreciated and under discussed is the whole energy opportunity that this presents.
The forest service working with the energy title, the farm bill, and communities looking forward to creating new bio mass opportunities to create new energy sources. And, I know the governor has been involved in that. Governor, you may want to comment as well.
Governor Ritter: Thank you Mr. Secretary. There are several ways that we're currently using, and then investigating other uses of bio mass. We have two different pellet factories in Colorado that are near the pine beetle forest, and quite frankly they've been very successful at removing trees and turning those into pellets, and they can be used either for residential or commercial scale.
In addition to that, there are several different -- I think -- pellet projects around the country, using woody biomass to fuel, and some discussion about even mobile units, where you can take the unit, and I think even the department has it's own ability to take a unit to a site, and you remove the transportation cost of pulling the wood out.
So, I don't actually have a sense about what it might specifically do to the lumber industry, but I will tell you, there are different small scale efforts, using pine beetle for timber -- or, for construction. It's quite a beautiful wood, in spite of how devastating it is on the forest. So, there is that.
But, I think the bigger -- I think the bigger hope for us would be to find and make uses of this woody biomass and turn it into either a specific fuel or a gasification project and create energy with it.
Susan Carter: Next on the line is Joe Hanel with the Durango Herald.
Joe Hanel: Governor, it's come to [unintelligible] there's a [unintelligible] out for Colorado that I think they're about to drain. Can you tell me how -- where we are on the petition and how it might -- how some of this funding can [be used] in roadless areas -- is there any interaction here?
Governor Ritter: Thank you, Joe. What we did was open our roadless petition process back up to a public process and that will then be resubmitted to the process that's back here in Washington DC. And, I think the secretary may want to comment on where they stand on it. I don't want to put anybody on the spot here. There's no decision that's been made, yet, other than the fact that we said -- we resubmitted our process to a public process and invited further public comment.
As you know, we do have some carve outs that are specific to pine beetle forests that are currently roadless where there would be a need to log timber out of there.
Tom Vilsack: I'll just add, as the governor knows, and the speech that I gave in Seattle on the issue of forest, we are obviously strong advocates of a strong [roadless rule] protection. And, we have been working through the courts, and working with state governments, and encouraging a collaborative process to make sure that we protect as much of our roadless areas as we possibly can.
This is a commitment that the president made during the campaign, he remains true to that commitment, we appreciate Governor Ritter's willingness to reach out, to continue embrace a collaborative process and continue to get input and information from people who will be impacted and affected by this decision. And, we look forward to working with states like Colorado to make the right decision.
But, the bottom line for us is that we want to do as good a job as we possibly can to protect the roadless areas, because they are an important national treasure that needs to be protected.
Susan Carter: Next on the line is Ryan Lance, with the governor's office of Wyoming.
Ryan Lance: Hello, this is Ryan Lance.
Susan Carter: You're on.
Ryan Lance: Very good. The governor is unable to be on the call today, but certainly appreciates the efforts to start into this question of beetle management. There is some concern though, with the nature of the reallocations from the existing state budgets, and right now, we've learned of the potential closure of about 32 camp grounds to feed the budget for these beetle-impacted forests.
We're quite concerned about that, and I was wondering if you could address that, in trying to make sure that the states that are impacted by beetles don't get to hit elsewhere in their budgets, in terms of recreational opportunities and otherwise.
Tom Vilsack: Well, I think it's, first of all, important to note that I think you might be working off some information that may be a little bit dated, in terms of precisely how this is all going to work. So, I think we need to be careful about conclusions about this. But, at the same time, I think that it is important that we recognize that if there is an issue - with reference to bark beetle infestation - that there needs to be focus within the region, as well as a national focus.
It is important for this partnership that we talked about earlier, that everybody contribute. We recognize this as a serious issue that needs to be addressed, and in a time when budgets are difficult and tight everywhere across the country, it's great that the forest service was able to allocate these resources. But, I think it is important to send the message that this is not going to be done without contribution from the region impacted and affected.
We think we've struck a good balance. It's for sure $30 million of additional resources that would not otherwise be coming, and I think that it's only fair that we ask for some reallocation within the region.
Susan Carter: Up next, Brad Swinson, with the [Demitche Pioneer].
Brad Swinson: Thank you. I'm with the Demitche Pioneer, and of course we sit right next to the Chippewa National Forest, [Spear] National Forest in Northern Minnesota, and my question is, is there a danger of this beetle infestation spreading to the East, and if so, what is being done to contain the infestation and preventing it from getting here?
Tom Vilsack: Well, I don't think that there's an immediate danger right now, in terms of spreading to the East. But, having said that, I think that's one of the reasons why we are making this announcement. I was talking with Governor Rouse earlier today. He advises me that South Dakota has been working on a variety of strategies to try and stem this invasion and they believe that they've determined a couple of strategies that work pretty effectively. So, we're obviously -- as part of this process, going to learn more about what works and what doesn't work, and continue to contribute to try and stop it.
The reality is that part of this has to do with the climate. It doesn't get as cold as it used to, in some of these areas in the past. These beetles would be killed off with a deep freeze. Deep freezes aren't occurring. The result is that beetles survive during the winter. And then, because of the close proximity of these trees, they basically pop from one tree to another, do their damage, and then move to the next tree.
So, it's going to be important, as we look at how to allocate and utilize these resources that we also focus on, on strategies that will stop this spread as best we can.
Susan Carter: Judith Koler is back on the line with the Associated Press in Denver. You are the last one to ask a question. Judith.
Judith Koler: I just wanted to ask, because there's always conversation about what kind of impact the logging will have and concerns about the process, the environmental review process being streamlined, to facilitate this. Can you talk about that, if there are plans to streamline reviews of areas that might be logged?
Tom Vilsack: Susan, only within existing authorities. We obviously can't create new regulations or go outside the bounds of our existing authority. And -- I want to emphasize one of the points that Governor Ritter made earlier. And that is the impact that this current situation has on -- if it's not dealt with in a more aggressive way, the issue has to do with water, and the impact it has on the forest capacity to act as a reservoir and a conserver and preserver of our water resources.
As these trees die, the chances are very good that the water that falls, or the snow that melts, basically has not slowed down as it normally would, with healthy trees. The result is that you have increased opportunities for erosion, increased opportunities for flooding, and a loss of that precious resource. Anyone who lives in the western part of the United States knows that water is a very critical resource and one that has to be guarded, one that has to be preserved, one that has to be conserved as best we can.
And, so, my concern about this infestation is not just it's impact on the economy of today, which is pretty severe - Colorado a good example, a state that relies a great deal on tourism, and recreation, outdoor recreation. All this makes it a little bit difficult for those tourists to have the kind of experience that they expect. So, that's -- that's an economic component, a job component. We're trying to reverse that, create new jobs in an area where jobs are needed. And, at the same time, basically beginning the process of restoring that forest, so ultimately it works as nature intended it to work, which is as a conserver and preserver of water resources.
Susan Carter: Alright, that concludes this morning's media briefing. I'm Susan Carter and thank you for joining us.

DCHS seeks health care partner
IRON MOUNTAIN – Dickinson County Healthcare System officials are seeking county support as they look for a long-term regional health care partner.
DCHS Administrator John Schon, along with hospital trustees, made a presentation to the county seeking support for a process to locate a regional health care partner.
The process would include forming a Strategic Partnership Advisory Committee by the Hospital Board; it is anticipated that this committee would include members of the County Board, DCHS Medical Staff and DCHS administration.
The committee would be charged with recommending a consultant(s) to advise DCHS in the development of a Request for Proposal seeking a health care partner.
Given the considerable cost, time and effort involved in this process, Hospital Board members wanted the county's support as they sought a long-term partner for DCHS.
The process is expected to take 6 months to a year to complete.
Dickinson County Memorial Hospital and its affiliated clinics are organized as a municipal corporation under Public Act 230.
Therefore, the Strategic Partnership Advisory Committee, along with its selected consultant(s), would need to assess whether there would be any required amendments to Public Act 230 that would be necessary in order for the final selection of a DCHS health care partner to occur, officials said.
In reference to the change in PA 230, Hospital Board Trustee Bill Edberg said that revision to the law would potentially allow the health care system to have the greatest degree of flexibility, which in turn would make it easier to find the most appropriate partner.
Schon said DCHS has experienced significant financial challenges in 2013 as have many hospitals throughout the region and throughout the United States. He said that these challenges have been multifaceted as outlined below:
– Declining inpatient volumes created by a dramatic shift from inpatient to outpatient care.
– Continued fluctuation in the daily inpatient census, which has ranged from a census in the low 20s to the mid to upper 60s per day.
– Unfavorable payer mix – a shift away from traditional insurance payments to more Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay patients.
– Substantial increases in DCHS' Bad Debts and Total Uncompensated Care, which is predicted to reach $9.6 million by the end of 2013.
– Declining payments from the Medicare and Medicaid programs that are dependent upon federal and state funding and shortfalls in commercial insurance reimbursement rates.
"The hospital has been a success story for the past 20 years, and it is in a dilemma right now," said County Commissioner Joe Stevens. "I do not know what more the Hospital Board and administration can do to make this financial situation better. We cannot allow the hospital to fail and have to come up with a partnering plan to maintain its viability."
"The deck is stacked against us as far as future reimbursement, which is not going to get better," said Edberg. "It is not just about health care for the community, but it is also about maintaining the economic impact of our area's largest employer."
"This is the very beginning of a process to find a partner for DCHS that will take the better part of six months to a year, however, this should not be interpreted as an initiative to just sell the hospital as has been the case in several communities throughout the Upper Peninsula," Schon said.
"There are many different partnerships and many different partners that need to be identified and evaluated for the best fit to occur for our health care system and community," Schon said. "And we need to remember that we have a lot to offer any future partner: a dedicated and talented group of physicians and health care professionals/work force; a broad gamut of nationally recognized, high quality health care services and cutting-edge medical technology; and a supportive community."
County Board Chairman Henry Wender said the County Board will meet, and if agreement is reached, they will forward names of the commissioners they would like to have sit on the Strategic Partnership Advisory Committee. He would also like to receive a list of the others who will be serving on the committee.

ORV route would bypass Iron River
By NIKKI YOUNK
Staff Writer
CRYSTAL FALLS – At the request of Iron County Chamber of Commerce Director Bob Black, the Iron County Board of Commissioners stands ready to file an appeal with the U.S. Forest Service over plans to bypass Iron River in a new off-road vehicle (ORV) route.
Black made a presentation to board members at their regular meeting on Tuesday.
The forest service had previously asked for comments about adding ORV routes to Iron County.
Options included: one-no action, two-using a route to the northwest of Iron River, or three-using a route that would come within two miles of Iron River businesses. Option two would utilize Forest Highway 3270 and County Road 657, while option three would utilize Ponozzo Road.
Although the board, the chamber of commerce, and the Chippewa Sno-Kats Trail Club had all asked the forest service to go with option three, the forest service chose option two.
Black believed that the forest service decided on option two in part because it would be about 10 miles shorter than option three for trail users traveling from Watersmeet to Kenton.
However, Black added that option two would divert trail users from traveling to Iron River and patronizing the city's businesses.
"It's great to have another connection route, but we don't need any more loss of business in Iron County," he said.
According to Black, the interested parties still have an opportunity to file an appeal over the plan. He has already filed an appeal on behalf of the chamber of commerce.
Commissioners also seemed agreeable to filing an appeal.
They decided to prepare paperwork for final approval at their next meeting on Jan. 21.
In other business, the board:
– Changed the date and time of regular board meetings. Starting in February, the board will meet only once per month on the second Tuesday at 6 p.m. Previously, the board met twice per month on the second and fourth Tuesdays at 1:30 p.m. Meetings will still be held in the commissioners' room in the Iron County Courthouse.
– Approved to continue holding finance meetings weekly at 1 p.m. through Feb. 14. After that date, finance meetings will be held every other week.
– Considered some recommendations from retired Michigan State University professor Lynn Harvey, an expert in county government. Besides the change in number of finance meetings, Harvey suggested that the board keep appointments even among commissioners, only have one public comment session at the beginning of each meeting, and to follow Robert's Rules of Order. The recommendations will be up for approval at the next meeting.
– Designated attorney Steve Tinti as civil counsel.
– Tabled action on releasing accumulated benefits to Melanie Camps and Joetta Grieg. Camps and Grieg are former employees of the county treasurer's office who moved into elected positions in the new year: Camps as treasurer and Grieg as register of deeds.

Norma,This thread's been a great read and I now have a preferment in the fridge based on the %'s Pete and you came up with at reply#149. Planning on 3 days in fridge then mix with remaining components and back to the fridge for at least 24hrs. Will let you know how it turns out.The main problem i'm having with my doughs (Lehmann w/o preferement) is the dreaded gum line. I have tried topping with oil just before baking, but the gum line remains (i may have over oiled the dough). I'm cooking in electric oven with corderiette(?) stone on bottom shelf at 550 degrees for about 5 1/2 minutes, then 1 minute under broiler.If you get a chance on the next pizza you make (one that your not trying to sell) could you take a picture of a slice with the cheese lifted? I'd like to see what the top of your dough looks like. This request also goes out to Pete and any others willing to share photos.Thanks. Danes Dad
Thanks Norma,Great looking pies as always.Danes Dad
Norma, preferment worked out great. Attached are photos of the latest attempt, bacon, carmelized onions and potato. Thanks again.Danes Dad
Thanks Norma,The oven is 550. Stone is on 2nd from bottom shelf. Crust is parbaked for 4min on stone. Then brought out to cool and put back in for 3min (1.5 min on stone then 1.5 min under broiler. Parbaking has been the only way I can get the crust fully cooked w/o burning toppings and rim.The preferment was mixed and left at room temp (80 degrees) 7hrs then added to final dough. I could not get the preferment calculator to give breakdown for yeast in preferment so I used .7% (.62grams)of water weight for the preferment and used remaining amount (.75grams) in final dough. Dough ball was put in fridge Friday about midnight and pizza was made on Monday evening, probably a day or so too long. The pizza was very good, but I can't say it was noticeably better than a straight Lehmann dough left in fridge for 3-4 days. I need to do a side by side comparison, same night and see if I can tell difference.Total Formula: Flour (100%): 341.53 g | 12.05 oz | 0.75 lbs Water (65%): 221.99 g | 7.83 oz | 0.49 lbs Salt (1.5%): 5.12 g | 0.18 oz | 0.01 lbs | 0.92 tsp | 0.31 tbsp IDY (.4%): 1.37 g | 0.05 oz | 0 lbs | 0.45 tsp | 0.15 tbsp Total (166.9%): 570.01 g | 20.11 oz | 1.26 lbs | TF = 0.1 Preferment: Flour: 88.8 g | 3.13 oz | 0.2 lbs Water: 88.8 g | 3.13 oz | 0.2 lbs Total: 177.59 g | 6.26 oz | 0.39 lbs Final Dough:Flour: 252.73 g | 8.91 oz | 0.56 lbs Water: 133.2 g | 4.7 oz | 0.29 lbs Salt: 5.12 g | 0.18 oz | 0.01 lbs | 0.92 tsp | 0.31 tbsp IDY: 1.37 g | 0.05 oz | 0 lbs | 0.45 tsp | 0.15 tbsp Preferment: 177.59 g | 6.26 oz | 0.39 lbs Total: 570.01 g | 20.11 oz | 1.26 lbs | TF = 0.1FYI, just picked up a infrared thermometer, from Harbor Freight, $29.99http://www.harborfreight.com/non-contact-laser-thermometer-96451.html?utm_medium=cse&utm_source=googlebase&hft_adv=40010&mr:trackingCode=4F780F9E-782A-E011-B31E-001B2163195C&mr:referralID=NADanes Dad
That looks great! The bubbly pizza reminds me of when I use 100% Bouncer flour.It makes alot of bubbles like that! Btw,I have never seen a pizza cooked at such extreme cold temps before. -450 F Below? WOW! I have the same IR gun.Is that - stuck on the screen all the time?It comes on mine as soon as I pull the trigger but it goes away as the screen lights up.
I did the same experiment I did last week, again this week, to see how a preferment Lehmann dough bakes at a lower temperature in the deck oven. As can be seen the baking temperature on the stone was 453 degrees F, right before I slid the pie into the deck oven. My dough ball wasnt warmed-up enough either, as can be seen how it wanted to bubble in the middle in the picture. I used my bubble popper to deflate those bubbles. I know a deck ovens bakes differently than home ovens, but just wanted to show that a deck oven can bake the preferment Lehmann dough into pizzas at a lower bake temperature. The bottom crust even gets brown. Norma
NormaI love the look of that pizza....it's just a picture though......can you describe it in comparison to the ones you bake at hotter temps...likes , dislikes......like I said, I think it looks fabulousJohn
Norma that Greek pie is just beautiful looking.

God could have chosen any word or any idea for us to use to relate to Him, but He chose "father." A critical role of the earthly father is to help his children better understand their Heavenly Father. Absent, cruel, or indifferent earthly fathers can lead their children to believe that God is also absent, cruel, or indifferent. A concerned, compassionate, and approachable father, however, paints a picture for his children of the boundless love of their Heavenly Father.
In the following pages, you'll meet men who have risen to the challenges and experienced the joys of fatherhood. Some are fathers in the traditional sense of parent to children; others are surrogate fathers, men who have seen a need in a child's life and moved to fill that need. What all have in common is their desire to fulfill the role of "father" as modeled by God.

Paul always had a good guy to play lead in his bands. Jimmy McCullough was awesome on Wings Over America. That guy who played the original solo on My Love was also pretty good (who is he?) and don't forget Robbie McIntosch's solo's on Sgt Pepper (with Paul) and Get out of my way. He rocks too.
Can anyone tell me where I can find some more (not Wings) material with Jimmy McCullough? Since he died so young there probably isn't much.

Government Orders
10:40 a.m.
George Baker Gander—Grand Falls, NL
That is right. He is presently the governor general. In fact some fishermen have commented that they wish that orders in council would actually come from the governor general because they appreciated those orders so much when he was the fisheries minister.
That piece of legislation unilaterally declared a 200 mile exclusive fishing zone in Canada. That is not the same as the exclusive economic zones, the EEZs, in other nations of the world. This was a unilateral action by Canada to save the fishing resource. That was in 1977.
When was the next piece of legislation that really broke new territory on behalf of the fishery in Canada? From 1977 until 1996 we had 10 years of Tory rule and not one piece of legislation was passed by this Chamber which we could call a historic piece of legislation.
Then we come to the year 1996. Again under a Liberal administration, this time under the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans who is the member from the historic riding of Bonavista-Trinity-Conception, legislation was brought in to do what the other nations have done. Instead of the exclusive fishing zone, we have declared an exclusive economic zone for Canada so that Canada can be a
part of the team of nations around the world that are trying to save the fisheries. We would have identical legislation.
Today this bill is truly a historic piece of legislation. Why is that? It is for the very reason that countries in Europe do not like the legislation. It is for the very reason that some countries in Europe, and yes the United States and quite a few other countries are objecting to this bill. The reason is that it gives the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans unusual powers to seize foreign fishing vessels which are fishing illegally, according to what the Canadian government is declaring, on the high seas adjacent to Canada's territorial zone.
When the opposition parties complain and say that this bill gives the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans too much power, they have to realize that we either have to do it or we do not do it. We have to give the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans the power to do things which are unusual under international law in order to save the fishery of Canada.
In Europe they are saying there are 14 articles which have extraterritorial effects. I have looked through this bill in the last 15 minutes trying to find those articles. I found some of them. One of the articles for example will allow the government in the future when an offence has been committed to seize a vessel that is owned by the same company that owned the vessel that committed the offence.
Let us say we had a fishing nation which violated the rules on bycatch in the NAFO zone which the hon. member was talking about.
What is a bycatch? A fisherman once defined it as a catch you accidentally catch when you're trying to catch another catch. It means that some fishermen use the bycatch rule of 10 per cent to catch more than 10 per cent of what they are allowed to catch.
Suppose the records of that vessel reach Canada after the fact. The vessel is gone. The skipper probably will not be seen in Canadian waters again and no charges under the present law can be brought against the company that owned the vessel. Under this bill Canada can now seize a vessel that belongs to the same company from the same foreign nation that committed the offence to satisfy a judgment.
An internal audit was done when the Tories were in power in 1985. It showed many cases of bribery, of money being exchanged, money being put in people's mailboxes to try to buy influence with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans by these foreign captains. A fisheries officials in one case found $25,000 in a mailbox. He immediately reported it to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Fisheries and Oceans knew who did it but they could not charge that fishing captain because he did not show up in Canadian waters again.
Under this legislation DFO will now be able to seize another vessel that belongs to that company from the foreign nation to satisfy the judgment.
I do not know the entire 14 articles to which the European Union is objecting, but one to which it is objecting is this. Under the bill the Canadian government will be able to bring charges against a stateless vessel on the high seas that is in a management zone of the northwest fishing organization to which the hon. member from the Bloc referred a few moments ago.
If a vessel from the United States of American-and we have them-constantly violates the fishing agreements entered into with countries that belong to the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization, charges cannot be brought against the American vessel because the U.S. does not belong to the organization. Under this bill we will be able to do that. There is a whole section on stateless vessels.
These are some of the things that the Bloc and Reform Party should be standing up and saying: "What a marvellous piece of legislation. Canada will be the first nation in the world to put some real teeth into enforcement to try to save the fishery" because the fishery needs to be saved. I think everybody would agree with that.
In the past, prior to 1993, Tory governments gave quotas to foreign nations. In the fall of 1979 Russia received a quota of 100,000 tonnes of capelin, the food of the cod fish. That Tory administration gave it a 100,000 tonne quota for 1980, thereby giving the Russians a higher quota of capelin than the entire Canadian fleet has ever caught in its entire history and then you wonder what happened to the fishery.
In 1985, 1986 and 1987 when fishermen were telling the politicians that there was a problem in the fishery the administration in power here in Ottawa continued to give out foreign licences. The Tories turned their backs and looked the other way when all the dragging was going on. They even encouraged it.
The hon. member from the Bloc represents an area of Quebec that has the best spawning area in the world for mackerel. The Tory administration actually gave Norway and Sweden licences for mackerel in Canadian waters which would stop the mackerel on their way to the spawning grounds at the end of May.
The Tory government, in the mid to latter part of the 1980s, gave licences to Cuba, Japan, Russia, to five fleets to catch another food of the cod, the squid, off the province of Nova Scotia. Can anyone imagine that?
For the Government of Canada to constantly say that it does not know if it is going to harm the cod fishery if it gives licences for fishing the food of the cod, it should know that the squid that were once in abundance on the coast of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, have disappeared. Why did they disappear? It was not Canadians who made them disappear. It was not Canadians who made the capelin disappear either.
They disappeared because of the foreign nations fishing in Canadian waters with licences given by the Tory administration in Ottawa. The squid come up in a narrow line. They are born in Florida, live for only one year and then go back. They know where to go. They die in Florida at the end of the year. However, the circle they make goes up the east coast of Canada in a thin line. Fishermen refer to it as the trans-Canada highway of squid.
Lo and behold, the previous Tory government gave licences to the Japanese, the Cubans and the Russians to block that passage of squid every single year in the 1980s. That is why we had no squid in Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island or Newfoundland.
As well, the Tories gave licences for all the fish we do not even think about here like argentine. They also gave licenses for another fish, a scrawny thing with a big swelled head, which reminds me of some of the politicians across the way. They gave licences for every species of fish in our waters and they gave them to foreigners.
Today these opposition parties should be standing up and congratulating the government by saying that this is the best news they have heard since the depletion of the cod fishery. Perhaps it is the single best piece of legislation that could ever be brought before the House of Commons, to be able to arrest stateless vessels that fly no flags and vessels on what is called the high seas outside of Canada's zone.
We need legislation to be able to govern what happens on the high seas, just as we need it when it comes to the attachment of wages act. Certain people in our society are excluded from the attachment of their wages. One of them is somebody who is on the high seas or somebody who is a seaman and another one is somebody in a foreign embassy. However, the government is bringing in legislation so that child support payments and so on can be retrieved from these people. Here is another piece of legislation which will grant the government powers on the high seas.
To conclude, the Bloc is against it, the Reform is against it, the NDP is against it and the Tories are against it. All of these nations quoted by Canadian Press are against it because those nations do not want to have their gigantic, huge draggers stopped around the Canadian coastline from ruining our fishery.
It is a historic day and a historic piece of legislation. Once again it has been brought in by a Liberal administration, the third such piece of legislation we have had in the past 20 years.

Mike Scott Skeena, BC
Mr. Speaker, as always I was very interested to hear the words of my hon. friend. I appreciate the work he does on this issue.
However, as he was speaking he held up a copy of the Fisheries Act amendments and it was plain to see the thickness of that document. There is a lot in that document that goes well beyond what the member was talking about.
We support the idea that Canada should play a much stronger role in managing the fishery in international waters where they affect Canadians and Canadian fishermen. I certainly agree with many of the remarks the member made about the Tories. However, we have all heard the expression: "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water". I am suggesting that with this bill Canadian fishermen and the Canadian people are going to be asked to drink a lot of stinking, rotten bath water to see a baby and that is not acceptable. There is a lot in this bill that is not acceptable and goes well beyond what this member was talking about.

George Baker Gander—Grand Falls, NL
Mr. Speaker, I do not know. I did not see anything about dish water or anything like that in the legislation. I have sifted through it for about 15 minutes. I certainly do not see anything there. I suppose the hon. member is talking about the powers that are given to tribunals on each coast.
However, we have not heard the other side of that argument. Under this legislation some decisions are put directly in the hands of those people who are affected by the policies of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. I do not see anything wrong with that. The government should have done that a long time ago.
Overriding all of that is the point that the government is being criticized by many nations today because of this legislation, as per the Canadian Press articles.
This is a great day for Canadian fishermen because the government is finally putting its foot down, putting some teeth in the legislation. The Reform Party and the Bloc should be standing up and saying: "This is a great day. We are going to just cut off debate on this and put it through in one day".

Georgette Sheridan Saskatoon—Humboldt, SK
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak out against violence against women. Less than a decade ago this act was met with snickers in this House.
It is not so today, in part because of the greater number of women who now are represented in Parliament. But it is also because of the many women who refuse to remain silent any longer; groups like Saskatoon's December Memorial Committee, a collective of concerned women and women's groups who recognize that silence allows the violence to continue and who organized "Speaking Out: A Portrait Violence", a two-week awareness program designed to educate and increase public awareness through community events.
I commend the committee for its "Speaking Out" event, a memorial to the tragedy at École Polytechnique, but also a public forum in a safe environment for the survivors of violence to speak out their stories through art, music and words.
The power of their creative works and words brings our society one step closer to zero tolerance of violence against Canada's women and children.

Mr. Speaker, on this national day of remembrance and action on violence against women, it is with sadness that we remember the tragic event at École Polytechnique in Montreal in which 14 young women lost their lives.
That event has deeply marked the collective memory of Quebecers and Canadians. It compels us to think of the actions we must take to counter violence against women.
Too often, men use their physical strength to force women to accept their points of view. We must act on ingrained prejudices which perpetuate the inequality of women at home and in the community. Mentalities are changing but not fast enough. We must act in our families and in our communities to make sure that women always feel safe everywhere.
We must say no, loud and clear, to violence against women. From now on, it is zero tolerance.
Impaired Driving

Darrel Stinson Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Mr. Speaker, today is the national day of remembrance and action on violence against women. One of the greatest sources of violence against women, families and society is drunk driving.
Therefore I ask all hon. members to support Motion No. 78 from the member for Prince George-Bulkley Valley to strengthen penalties in the Criminal Code that deal with impaired driving offences. This would deter others and make penalties reflect the seriousness of this crime.
Representatives of Mothers Against Drunk Driving were here in Ottawa recently. Their executive director told my office: "All the polls we have done say this government has not been proactive on the whole issue of impaired driving".
Yearly over four times more people are killed by drunk drivers than are murdered. Yet this government enacted compulsory gun registration against law-abiding gun owners while it refused to pass Bill C-201 which would have sent drunk drivers who kill to jail for seven years. I urge this government to get its priorities straight and stop drunk driving.

Sue Barnes London West, ON
Mr. Speaker, today in communities across Canada, men, women and children are gathering to remember the horrific events which occurred seven years ago at l'École Polytechnique in Montreal. On that December 6, 14 bright young women lost their lives in a senseless act of violence. In my community of London, Ontario there are several events planned to mark this anniversary and to remember all women who suffer violence.
We must help to end the violence with better understanding and education through governmental and non-governmental assistance. We must also do our part as legislators to pass relevant legislative measures.
I commend those who strive every day not only to reduce violence against women but who work with the victims of violence including the husbands, wives, children, siblings and friends who also become victimized, sometimes to the extent that later in life cycles of violence are repeated.
One day a year is set aside to recognize Canada's national day of remembrance and action on violence against women. Today the flag on the Peace Tower is flying at half mast. I strongly urge every Canadian-

Beryl Gaffney Nepean, ON
Mr. Speaker, 7 years ago 14 bright, promising young women experienced hell on earth. Their crime? They were women. Their sentence was death. As I speak, other Canadian women are experiencing the horror of violence and intimidation.
The only fitting tribute to the slain women of l'École Polytechnique and to all victims of violence is to stop the violence and to say never again. Much is being done and I applaud those working with abused women and children. Services like those offered by the Nepean Community Resource Centre in my Ontario riding are providing counselling, outreach and services for children who witness violence. Those services strive to undo the damage.
Eliminating violence requires a commitment from all individuals. We must reject the stereotyping of women. The media must stop its glorification of violence and legislators at every level must enact laws to better protect our citizens. Canadians must unite against those who wreak death and terror. We must stand up and say never again.

John Murphy Annapolis Valley—Hants, NS
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an exceptional doctor and an outstanding Canadian, Dr. Charles Huggins.
During his career Dr. Huggins was a leader in the field of cancer research. His accomplishments provided a stimulus for future developments in chemotherapy. It was 30 years ago, in 1966, that Dr. Huggins received the Nobel prize for his work in cancer research. Dr. Huggins developed the first non-radioactive, non-toxic chemical treatment for cancer. Prior to receiving this award, only one other surgeon had ever received the Nobel prize.
Dr. Huggins spent most of his working life in the United States but he is a native of Nova Scotia and a graduate of Acadia University in my riding of Annapolis Valley-Hants. As well, he is past chancellor of that university.
I ask all members of the House to join me in recognizing the efforts this exceptional Canadian.

Mr. Speaker, on this national day of remembrance and action on violence against women, I would first like to address the families and loved ones of the 14 young women killed on December 6, 1989 at the École Polytechnique. All of Quebec and Canada continues to mourn your loss with you.
Such a tragedy must never again be allowed to happen. So that all women can live in safety, not only must we remember the violence experienced by thousands of women every day, but we must also demonstrate a genuine political will to help ensure respect for the integrity of women.
In addition to community action and court challenges, the fight to end violence against women must be added to the political agenda. The safety of 50 per cent of the population concerns everyone. It is up to us to act, and act now.

Allan Kerpan Moose Jaw—Lake Centre, SK
Mr. Speaker, recently one of my Reform colleagues introduced a private member's bill extending the child care tax deduction. The key is that the deduction would be converted to a refundable tax credit which would benefit those parents who choose to care for their own children.
Presently a tax deduction can be received if someone else cares for your children but not if you choose to stay home and raise them yourself. As usual, the Liberal government refused to support the bill.
Its solution to helping families cope with the stresses of the nineties is to implement a national day care strategy, a new $700 million bureaucracy. I can well imagine the chaos a program like this will create for families in rural Saskatchewan and indeed in rural Canada.
We all know that an institution is no substitute for the family. In fact, in a Maclean's poll last year, 70 per cent of Canadian families said that if they had the choice they would prefer to have one parent stay home with the children.
Our children are our future and no costly bureaucracy can serve as a replacement for an economically stable and happy family.

Mr. Speaker, today our government will sign an historic agreement with Alberta, showing that we are keeping our promises to renew federalism.
From the date this agreement takes effect, Alberta will be responsible for all active job measures and job training generally.
In addition, we are continuing to negotiate with the other provinces, and are hopeful that agreements can be signed with them in short order. Our government has set aside a budget of approximately $2 billion to implement this new system.
In our view, what is important is that Canadian workers have access to the best training services possible. Quebec shares this objective with us, and we are certain that we will arrive at an agreement in the very near future.

Mr. Speaker, in a recent poll conducted by Angus Reid, 59 per cent of Canadians surveyed gave the federal government positive marks for its performance in terms of honesty and ethics. This is in sharp contrast to the legacy left by the previous Tory administration which, save two members now in the House, was wiped out in the last federal election. The people cannot be fooled.
It is comforting to know that despite the meanspirited smear campaign orchestrated by members of the Tory old guard in the Senate, people across this great country say the federal Liberal government is doing an honest job.
The Tories in the other place can sling all the mud they like, but the people of Canada see clearly through their thinly veiled, nasty political trickery.
This government has an impeccably ethical record of accomplishment. I know it, you know it and the Canadian people know it.

What we love: Everything. What's not to love? The 9:30 Club spoils us with great sound, great sight lines and great service. Set times are announced the day of the show so you can plan your arrival. We take this for granted now, but the 9:30 was one of the first venues to make this information available regularly. Even the custom-made cupcakes are delicious.
What we don't: You're being watched. The club's staff is very pleasant, but they're keeping a close eye on you. Staff members are perched near both dressing rooms on the balcony and near the huge speakers on the sides of the stage, eyes peeled. You'll feel safe, but it can also feel invasive.

At 9:30 Club, the food is no sideshow
By Alex Baldinger
Friday, July 15, 2011
It's a not quite sold-out Wednesday night at the 9:30 Club, and the sliver of a kitchen - wedged beneath the faded "Food Food" sign that once belonged to a Chinese restaurant near the club's original F Street NW location - has run out of hot dog buns. It seems that the evening's headliner, the moody English post-punk band Echo & the Bunnymen, has a taste for encased meats.
Sometimes the talent gets hungry and eats all your hot dog buns. That's one of the challenges of serving a comprehensive menu from a tiny walk-up window inside one of Washington's most popular live-music venues. But there are other challenges, too - such as convincing the quarter-million patrons who visit the club in a typical year that there's real, honest food there. After all, the surrounding U Street neighborhood can now offer concertgoers everything from preshow barbecue at American Ice Co. to gourmet banh mi from Dickson Wine Bar and best-in-the-city buffalo wings from Duffy's.
Presented with such options, why would hungry concertgoers opt to eat while standing inside a darkened concert hall? "Because there's no bands playing at American Ice Company!" says Seth Hurwitz, 9:30's owner and self-described "major league foodie" who frequents Peter Pastan's Obelisk and counts award-winning chef Jose Andres among his pals. "If someone is coming to the club and they want to eat, we want to make sure we have great food."
Most of the area's music venues serve food in some fashion, from the Black Cat's Food for Thought Cafe (which doesn't charge a cover to diners) to Iota Club & Cafe, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, regardless of who's playing that night. The Birchmere calls itself a dinner theater-style music club. And then there's U Street Music Hall, whose Pho Dog - a beef frank stewed in the fragrant Vietnamese broth - has been known to draw customers willing to pay the cover just to chow down. The venue recently introduced the Jelly Belly - a slice of pork belly sandwiched inside a grilled doughnut.
Hurwitz doesn't see all this as the beginning of an arm's race in the kitchens of Washington's music hubs, but when you have 1,200 potentially hungry mouths to feed at a sold-out show, what you serve matters.
So how is the food from the 9:30's three-person kitchen? Starters, or Sound Bites, are simple and fresh: The hummus ($5.25) is made in-house, while the mini pita pizza ($6) becomes a sophisticated snack with the addition of olive tapenade, fresh mozzarella or pesto. Most important, both items are portable, ideal for eating in a crowd of bobbing fans. The condiment-laden Nachos of Ulysses ($6.75), not so much.The sandwiches, wraps and paninis are where you should direct your attention. The Great Balls of Liar ($9.75) is a chopped veggie burger on a baguette, with grilled onions, tomato sauce and melted mozzarella that does an impressive impression of ground beef; the Cordonini ($9.50) is a traditional chicken cordon bleu tucked inside the olive-kissed foccacia bread that makes all of the paninis worth a 10- to 15-minute wait (Lyon Bakery bakes the bread); and the Wienernini ($5), a quarter-pound hot dog served all-beef or vegetarian, may be mentioned in a future Bunnymen song. The vegan serape ($5.25) is flavorful and subtly spicy but not portable.
Then there are the chocolate cupcakes ($3): Tiffany MacIsaac's Buzz Bakery monograms them with the 9:30 logo. As with everything there, from band bookings on down, Hurwitz had the final cupcake say during taste tests: "The cupcakes were famously whittled down from a lot of contestants, but Buzz just kept coming back over and over, and I said, 'Well, it's okay.' After six tries, they came up with what I consider to be the best cupcake anywhere."
For regular 9:30 Club attendees, such as Robert Shackley of Reston, grabbing a bite there is part of the show-going routine. "Usually if it's a weeknight, I don't have time to eat elsewhere," he said between bites of a Freddy's Ham & Cheese sandwich ($7.50) on a Sunday night. "The ingredients are fresh, and they seem to make them on order. There's nothing sitting under a heat lamp."
Those who frequent the club are a captive audience; after all, you need a ticket before you can eat. It's unlikely anyone would choose a dinner spot based solely on something as incidental as a restaurant's choice in background music, so would they be any more likely to choose a rock club for the cuisine?
"When we first opened the club and I wanted to have good food there, people said, 'It's a rock club. People don't go there to eat,' " Hurwitz recalls. "I said, '[Expletive] that, man, why should you not be able to go to a club and have good food?'
"It should not be an aside. Why should it be anything but the best you can possibly do?"

W'bago project moves ahead
WINNEBAGO – The Veterans Memorial project in Winnebago has raised more than $41,000, and organizer Jerry Johannsen expects construction to begin around Memorial Day.
"I'm really happy the way it's going," he said. "I just want to thank everyone for helping out. This has been in my head for a long time. People have come through."
In early November, Johannsen had only $22,000 collected for the project, which is likely to cost nearly $60,000. Some people expressed doubts the memorial would become a reality, but donations began to arrive.
To add the name of a veteran, there is a charge of $200. Johannsen has had a number of people order a name and write a check for $300 or $400. The largest donation from one person was $2,000.
Businesses have chipped in as well.
Other money has come from hamburger feeds, silent auctions and a Winnebago Fire Department's fund-raiser. A Veterans Day pancake breakfast raised $1,400.
All that money means the project is on track.
"The granite was ordered before Christmas," Johannsen said.
A downpayment of more than $13,000 has been paid, with the balance due upon completion.
The jet-black stones will be shipped from overseas, because you "can't get the dark ones in the United States. The darker they are, the more expensive."
Johannsen ordered five stones. Four will have the names of the veterans, their years of birth, years of service and branches of service. So far, there are 75 names. Johannsen knows of another 50 that are eligible. Those interested can contact Johannsen to obtain a form, which must be filled out and turned in to City Hall.
The fifth stone will be in the shape of the state of Minnesota and feature an engraving, words of dedication to veterans, and the insignias of all military branches. There will be two benches of black granite, and Johannsen plans to add more in the future.
Johannsen expects the stones to be delivered in three to five months. Blue Earth Monument will do the engraving. Scott Robertson and Bret Osborne have offered to help with the construction necessary before the stones are placed.
Johannsen knows there will be ongoing expenses, such as American flags. The flags will be flown every day and will wear out over time and need to be replaced.
There's still a lot of work to do before the project is complete, but Johannsen can see his dream taking shape.
"I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project," he said. "We'll get there."

Photographer: Patrick Chai/Christiane Ingenthron – PhotoPoet Studios
Hot tip: Don't be afraid to infuse your own style into the dress. I've seen this one on a few different brides on wedding blogs. And each one has worn it completely differently.
What they loved: The length and the crazy polka dots…everyone loved how different/fun it was. One of my favorite memories of the day was when we were walking down the pier together, towards the ceremony…lots of people were yelling out their congratulations. But my favorite comment was the woman who yelled, "GREAT DRESS!"

You Love the Brand, but Should You Buy the Stock?
By Scott Westcott
NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- For years now, Evelyn Cashen has loved Plato's Closet, the retailer that sells "gently used" brand-name clothing to young adults and teens. When Cashen shopped there, she'd often make a mental note to buy the stock in Plato's parent company, Winmark Corp. (WINA). In fact, she made that same note for three years - during which time the stock tripled in value.
"I thought it was a great business model, I love shopping there, but I never took the plunge," says Cashen, 26, an account executive for Leverage PR in Austin, Tex. "Suffice to say, I regret that."
Cashen faced a common investor dilemma - whether and when to buy stock in the brands she loves. Financial experts and fellow investors say that developing a brand-based strategy can be a profitable investing tactic, but they also caution there are potential pitfalls to focusing too much on buying stock in the stuff you also love to buy.
Here are some things to consider before purchasing stocks of your favorite brands.
Diversify, diversify: By its very nature, buying stocks solely based on brands you love threatens to make your portfolio top-heavy in certain sectors. After all, while you may love and invest in Starbucks, Apple, Banana Republic and Ford, that doesn't provide you with exposure - and opportunity -- in oil & gas, utilities, bio-tech, manufacturing and foreign stocks, for example.
Elle Kaplan, CEO and founding partner of Lexion Capital Management blames "the common trap of familiarity bias" for portfolios that end up hyper-focused in one sector. "Instead of following the urge to simply go with what you know, remember that a healthy portfolio is a diversified portfolio," Kaplan says. "Your portfolio should include a range of global equities, fixed income and commodities."
Check the fundamentals: Simply loving what a company produces, the way they do business, or how they make you feel, does not a sound investment make. Sometimes when a company's products are in big demand, they fall behind on production -- hurting their bottom line and, potentially, their reputation. And a company highly focused on competing on price may offer great, affordable products, but suffer from slim margins and sluggish stock returns.
