Marco Rubio returned to Washington, D.C., Tuesday to vote on a Senate bill to defund sanctuary cities, after weeks of being criticized for missing votes on Capitol Hill.
Rubio voted yes for the bill introduced by Sen. David Vitter, but it failed to advance after Democrats filibustered it. The White House had threatened a veto of the legislation if it reached President Obama’s desk.
In the past, Rubio defended his missed votes on defunding Planned Parenthood and the defense spending bill, arguing that winning the presidency was more important.
“If there’s a vote where my vote is going to make a difference or an issue of major national significance and importance, we do everything possible to be there,” Rubio said in an interview with CNBC earlier this month, defending his absence in the Senate.
But it appears that Rubio could not afford being absent for a vote on illegal immigration, particularly on legislation that he co-sponsored with Sen. Ted Cruz.
Rubio has also faced criticism from grassroots activists in the Republican party for working with Democrats to pass the 2013 “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill in the Senate, a looming threat to his campaign for president.
Fellow presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul also joined Rubio and Cruz to vote for the bill.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, however, was absent.

One of cricket’s best entertainers Shahid Afridi has signed to play the inaugural Lanka Premier League and will be captaining the Galle franchise.
The franchise has been named Galle Gladiators. The 40-year-old former Pakistan captain is no stranger to Sri Lankan fans as he hammered then, the world’s fastest ODI hundred against them aged just 16 in 1996.
Attempts by Sri Lanka Cricket to launch a franchise based tournament of their own had failed to materialize on several occasions but this time around they seem to be making significant progress.
SLC had outsourced the competition to a Dubai based company and they in turn had found team owners. The board at one point was concerned about team owners with T-20 cricket mushrooming around the world and several owners either defaulting payments or being involved in corruption…

Beachwood, Ohio – The Beachwood Bison started off the season playing a difficult non-conference schedule that featured three of the top teams in Northeast Ohio. Despite starting off 0-3 after that stretch, the Bison are hitting their stride as they picked up their seventh victory in a row, topping rival Orange, 75-60.
The first half was a back-and-forth affair between the two divisional rivals, with both teams trading buckets and the lead. But when Beachwood took the lead late in the first half after a pair of free throws, they would pull away.
In the second half, the Bison forced Orange into several turnovers, and capitalized on those opportunities, hitting buckets to pad their lead and energize the home crowd.
Senior guard Cam Thomas scored 22 to lead the Bison, and freshman Collin Albert pitched in 16 to aid the winning effort. Beachwood also got 12 from senior guard Michael Gordon.
“Anytime you play a rivalry game, you want to give your best effort. We really took it to them and wore them out down the stretch. We kept playing the way we’re capable of playing. These guys got turnt up during the end there.” said Beachwood head coach Jon Mannarino. “When you play rivalry games, anything goes. We fed off that energy and kept competing, and found a way to take it to them at the end.” he added.
“Our team goes through a lot of adversity but we try to keep playing. My team really got me going so I was able to attack the rim and get great shots.” said Thomas.
“It was a great feeling to energize the crowd. I just wanted to come out here and do anything I could to help my team get this win.” said Albert.
In a losing effort, Orange got 23 from senior forward Revelation Sanders, and 12 each from senior forward Yusef Page and sophomore guard Harrison Pyner.
“We got a few senior leaders, but we’re a young team and we’re learning and growing. That’s all I can ask. They gave great effort the entire game. We worked hard, and I think we’re getting better every game. It’s a learning experience.” said Orange head coach Ashen Ward.
Beachwood improves to 7-3 overall and 6-0 in the CVC Chagrin Division, and hosts Chagrin Falls on Tuesday, January 9th.
Orange drops to 1-7 overall and 1-4 in the CVC Chagrin Division, and travels to Perry on Tuesday.

Nissan GT R confirms Targa appearance
27th November 2007
The 2008 Targa Tasmania is the 17th running of Australia's ultimate tarmac rally.
Through the generous support of Events Tasmania and the support of Pure Tasmania, the event continues to attract a top field of classic and modern cars.
Fresh from its world-wide unveiling at the Tokyo Motor Show in October, the new Nissan GT-R will make its Targa Tasmania debut in 2008.
The car has been entered by motorsport identity Tony Alford and will run in the stand-out Donut King colours.
The GT-R is described by Nissan as “an ultimate supercar for anyone, anywhere, at anytime”.
The car features a newly developed Premium Midship package, including the world’s first independent transaxle 4WD developed independently by Nissan.
Under the hood, the Nissan GT-R features an all-new 3.8-litre twin turbo V6 “VR38” engine, producing 353kW at 6400rpm and maximum torque of 588Nm from 3200 to 5200rpm.
Targa Tasmania event director, Mark Perry, is delighted that the GT-R will be on show to motorsport fans in Tasmania when the event is held from April 15-22.
“This car will be, I’m sure, very popular with spectators and fellow competitors,” Perry said.
“It really ensures Targa is a great showcase for all things automotive. At one end of the spectrum we have a huge range of classic cars, dating back to the 1930s, then we have the latest performance cars that have only just been released.”

Sexual Harassment Lawyer for Retail Workers
Many Florida residents seek out jobs in the retail sector as their main source of employment or a supplemental income. While coverage of sexual harassment in the workplace has become more prominent, retail workers are often vulnerable due to their youth, relatively low pay and lack of experience. In addition, many retail workplaces may see blended personal friendships and work relationships, leading to poorly defined boundaries for personal conduct. Many retail companies have not taken firm action on harassment, leading to a worse situation for all employees.
Sexual Harassment Policy for Retail Companies
An effective sexual harassment policy is a basic for companies that want to take action about harassment on the job. This kind of policy should prohibit unacceptable behavior and provide a reporting structure so that victims can address their concerns with management. When workers are subject to retaliation and negative treatment after reporting harassment, the damage is compounded by the company’s action or inaction. The same is true when known harassers are allowed to remain in positions of authority despite repeated complaints.
Some managers abuse their positions not only to silence complaints but to commit sexual harassment themselves. Reports may not only arise through official channels in these cases, but they can also bubble up through social media posts and in-store gossip. In these cases, companies may have an obligation to investigate when they are aware that problems exist. It should be noted that sexual harassment violates the law, and businesses that fail to take harassment seriously may pay a real price.
Legal Help Is Available to Retail Workers
Employees who have been subjected to sexual harassment on the job do have options. This is true for retail workers as well as for others in precarious or vulnerable positions. Florida sexual harassment lawyers may help affected workers to take action and seek accountability.
Law Office of William M. Julien, P.A. in Boynton Beach helps employees throughout Florida with sexual harassment claims against retailers. Call 561-560-5597 for a free initial consultation.

Grandfather tells his two grandchildren a story about a town called chewnswallow. It’s a nice town, but the only difference is that breakfast, lunch, and dinner falls from the sky. Everything is right in that town, until the food/weather goes crazy. Blizzards of cream cheese and jam sandwiches, and thunderclouds of large hamburgers and a giant pancake flattens the school, forcing the residents to permanently move out.
The illustrations are delicious and rich with detail, I’d read this and imagine everything in the town happening to my town.
Fran gets a pig and he becomes Wilbur. He’s a precocious pig and in his lonliness he befriends a spider named Charlotte. They become friends and when they found that Wilbur would soon become christmas dinner, charlotte cooked up a plan to save his life. And it does. And the end makes me cry every time I read it and watched the cartoon.
This inner city poor kid happens to get into a lot of trouble, to his mothers dismay. He happens upon a cat with only one eye he named Bones. his mom didn’t like cats so he rigged the junkyard and trash into a home for the cat and would add tuna to mom’s shopping list for the cat. I have been looking for this book for a while. I loved it a lot. I cried a lot at the end of it. It was also the first time I had ever heard of using baking soda for toothpaste.
What do you do when your brother is hyper and slightly off kilter? Peter doesn’t know either, but it’s never not interesting living with Fudge. It was fun that me and my brother both loved reading this book together. I need to read it again as I can’t remember the plot anymore.
A lonely boy befriends a balloon. He takes it everywhere, then one day some bullies came and popped his balloon only to have all these other balloons coming to his rescue and aide and he flies off over the world.

Abetalipoproteinemia (also known as Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome) is an inherited disorder that affects how fats are made and used in the body. Our bodies need fats in order to maintain healthy nerves, muscles, and digestion. Like oil and water, fats can’t travel around our bodies by themselves. Instead, they attach to special proteins called lipoproteins and travel to wherever they’re needed.
How Abetalipoproteinemia Affects Lipoproteins
Because of a genetic mutation, people with abetalipoproteinemia don’t produce the protein needed to make lipoproteins. Without enough lipoproteins, fats can’t be digested properly or travel to where they are needed. This leads to serious health problems that can affect the stomach, blood, muscles, and other body systems.
Because of the problems caused by abetalipoproteinemia, signs of the conditions are often seen in infancy. Males are affected more—about 70-percent more—than females. The condition is an autosomal inherited condition, meaning both parents must have the faulty MTTP gene for their child to inherit it. Abetalipoproteinemia is very rare, only 100 cases have been reported.
Signs and Symptoms
Babies born with abetalipoproteinemia have stomach problems due to their inability to digest fats properly. Bowel movements are often abnormal and may be pale-colored and foul-smelling. Children with abetalipoproteinemia may also experience vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, and difficulty gaining weight or growing (also sometimes known as the failure to thrive).
Those with the condition also have with problems relating to the vitamins stored in fats—vitamins A, E, and K. Symptoms caused by the lack of fats and fat-soluble vitamins typically develop within the first decade of life. These may include:
- Sensory disturbances: This includes problems with sensing temperature and touch—especially in the hands and feet (hypesthesia)
- Trouble walking (ataxia): Approximately 33 percent of children will have difficulty walking by the time they turn 10 years. Ataxia gets worse over time.
- Movement disorders: Tremors, shaking (chorea), trouble reaching for things (dysmetria), trouble talking (dysarthria)
- Muscle problems: Weakness, shortening (contraction) of muscles in the back that causes the spine to curve (kyphoscoliosis)
- Blood problems: Low iron (anemia), problems with clotting, abnormal red blood cells (acanthocytosis)
- Eye problems: Night blindness, poor eyesight, problems with eye control (ophthalmoplegia), cataracts
Abetalipoproteinemia can be detected through stool samples. Bowel movements, when tested, will show a high level of fat since the fat is being eliminated rather than being used by the body. Blood tests can also help diagnosis the condition. The abnormal red blood cells present in abetalipoproteinemia can be seen under a microscope. There will also be very low levels of fats like cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. If your child has abetalipoproteinemia, tests for clotting time and iron levels will also come back abnormal. An eye exam might show inflammation of the back of the eye (retinitis). Testing of muscle strength and contractions may have abnormal results as well.
Treatment Through Diet
A specific diet for people with abetalipoproteinemia has been developed. There are several requirements in the diet, including avoiding eating certain types of fats (long-chain triglycerides) in favor of eating other types (medium-chain triglycerides). Another requirement is adding doses of vitamin supplements containing vitamins A, E, and K, as well as iron. A nutritionist with a background treating genetic conditions can help you design a meal plan that will meet your child’s special dietary needs.

The rattling noises increase, the nests are taken possession of again: The first white storks have returned to the NaturZoo Rheine.
With around 120 pairs, the NaturZoo grounds are home to the largest stork colony in North Rhine-Westphalia, perhaps even Germany, during the breeding season. Around 35 storks remain in Rheine during the winter, while by far the majority fly south.
The first returnees arrived in the first days of February. Some can be recognized by the fact that their plumage is not bright white, but dirty gray. It is believed that such are “garbage dump storks”, that is, those that have wintered in Spain and have foraged there on garbage dumps, causing pollution.
The returnees take possession of the existing nests, mostly those in which they had bred the previous year. Some start laying eggs as late as February, but the peak of the storks’ arrival and the actual start of the breeding season does not take place until early March.

Essences Suggestions to help with the Energies through February
Inner Strength Essence
The Inner Strength Essence is a really good combination for helping you to strengthen and promote the qualities of inner resolve, strength, courage & determination. It helps to encourage a balanced use of personal & spiritual will and is very useful for when you need help with issues around will power and the determination to stand in your own power.
In our recent post Aligning with the Aquarian Vision, we explored how the Aquarian influence that is currently so prominent on our planet is encouraging us all to reach for greater personal freedom and empowerment, noting that for some people this is causing a degree of difficulty and discomfort. Since this is the case we have decided to explore this theme a little more in the February Essence Suggestions alongside some appropriately helpful combinations.
Firstly then let’s take a moment to explore what old issues might stand in the way of achieving greater personal freedom and empowerment. As always in such situations we are really dealing with the consequences of old, often unconscious misperceptions about how the world works. In this situation a review of how we see ourselves in terms of horizontal energy versus vertical energy can be very revealing. To be able to contribute meaningfully into a group endeavour that has freedom, cooperation and equality as its foundation we must first achieve a degree of command over our own energy field as well as giving ourselves permission to be fully our true self. This aligns us within the vertical flow of sustaining love and light from our soul and consciously connects us with our purpose for incarnation.
Currently most of us find it difficult to maintain this space of vertical alignment because we still have patterns that take us into a less empowered place of horizontal energy exchange if we do not pay enough attention. It is these same patterns that are causing us discomfort in the new energy flow because they simply no longer work.
In one way or another we are all addressing the old disempowering third dimensional belief that everything we need for living comes to us from outside of ourselves, whether that be information, opportunities, love etc. Many incarnational experiences playing the ‘separation game’ have hypnotised us into creating a kind of ‘co-dependent matrix’ which up to now we have fitted ourselves into in order to survive in the world. As this matrix breaks apart in the new energy flow, we are being required to let go of all the old patterns and structures of ‘relationship’. This is great for personal freedom and empowerment but might feel temporarily uncomfortable if you have remnants of old patterns still to deal with and let’s face it most of us have!
Perhaps the first place to look here is at the issue of ‘control’ – the primary energy that operates in all horizontal energy exchanges. To achieve greater personal freedom and empowerment we must get very clear with ourselves about this old energy dynamic and chose to extricate ourselves from its grip. So with this in mind our first essence suggestion this month is for the Solar Plexus Chakra combination. This is an excellent combination to help with any situation where you do not feel sufficiently detached and empowered to move forward in a new way. It will help you to centre yourself more fully in your own energetic space and bring clarity and understanding about how to release the vibration of control. In particular review your beliefs around the need to keep the peace and avoid disharmony in order to feel safe, as this is often what unconsciously keeps us in a place of trying to control our environment. One of our Auric Protection; safe boundaries spray might be a very helpful additional support if you identify strongly with this scenario.
A need for control can also come from old unprocessed emotional pain related to loss and rejection. In this situation control becomes the mechanism that we use to keep ourselves and those that we love ‘safe’ from re-experiencing this pain. If you are one of the many people currently releasing yourself from this old unworkable belief then we suggest either a Letting Go; dissolving attachment or Release; cutting the ties combination to help you move on more easily. Heart Chakra, Forgiveness; transforming guilt or Purity of Heart; Rose Collection combination might also be helpful as continued support for many.
We can also find ourselves addicted to the mechanism of control when we believe that we are not strong enough in some way to fully stand in our own power. Often this is because confidence in our own creativity and inner resources has not been sufficiently nurtured in the early stages of life, leaving us feeling subtly dependant on those around us to make us feel OK or tell us what to do. There are many energetic strands in this particular pattern so here are a few essence suggestions to help with some of the most common. One of the following might make a good starting place; Inner Strength; restoring inner resolve, Inner Certainty; transforming doubt, Feeling Worthy; transforming unworthiness or Confidence; restoring self-assurance. Then consider following on with either an Inner Freedom; transforming judgement or a Self Acceptance; restoring unconditionality combination.
Lastly for those who need support to strengthen their vertical energetic exchange with the multi-dimensional aspects of themselves, we suggest either Soul Connection; en-lightenment, Inner Wisdom; connecting heart & mind or the Energetic Alignment; soul connection Spray to help.

Today State Sen. Paul Cicarella (R-North Haven) and Connecticut Senate Republican leaders unveiled a package of legislative proposals focused on job growth and workforce development, and called on their colleagues to work together to make Connecticut more supportive of opportunity, training and good paying jobs to support all families.
The proposals include policies to enhance workforce training at the high school level, expand apprenticeship support programs, offer apprenticeships/licensure credits for Veterans with prior experience, establish a health care workforce training program in Connecticut high schools, and grow jobs in the state’s defense and insurance industries.
The legislative package entitled “A Better Way to a Prosperous Connecticut” is part of the Senate Republicans’ “Better Way” agenda, which includes policies to make Connecticut more affordable, healthy, transparent and safe.
“It is vital that we work to reach our children at an early age, with an eye to pathways to careers that don’t need to involve a four-year degree,” said Senator Cicarella.
As ranking member of the legislature’s Veterans Committee, Senator Cicarella also emphasized the importance of enabling Veterans to maximize the relevant skills that they develop while proudly serving the country. “We also must continue supporting opportunities for Veterans who often enter the workforce with unique skills from their time in service,” he said.
The Better Way to a Prosperous Connecticut includes the following proposals:
- “Pipeline to Work” Program
- Workforce Development Path to Career
- “Health Care Academy”
- Return of Job Fairs
- Vocational Programs Recruitment
- Taskforce to Study Occupational Licenses
- Providing Career Opportunities for Veterans
- “Buy CT to Build CT” program to support job growth in the defense industry
- Growing Jobs in our state’s Flagship Insurance Industry

Nearly 50 hereditary diseases result from the inheritance of abnormally long repetitive DNA microsatellites. While it was originally believed that the size of inherited repeats is the key factor in disease development, it has become clear that somatic instability of these repeats throughout an individual's lifetime strongly contributes to disease onset and progression. Importantly, somatic instability is commonly observed in terminally differentiated, postmitotic cells, such as neurons. To unravel the mechanisms of repeat instability in nondividing cells, the investigators created an experimental system to analyze the mutability of Friedreich's ataxia (GAA)n repeats during chronological aging of quiescent Saccharomyces cerevisiae Unexpectedly, the predominant repeat-mediated mutation in nondividing cells was found to be large-scale deletions encompassing parts, or the entirety, of the repeat and adjacent regions. These deletions are caused by breakage at the repeat mediated by mismatch repair (MMR) complexes MutSβ and MutLα and DNA endonuclease Rad1, followed by end-resection by Exo1 and repair of the resulting double-strand breaks (DSBs) via nonhomologous end joining. The authors also observed repeat-mediated gene conversions as a result of DSB repair via ectopic homologous recombination during chronological aging. Repeat expansions accrue during chronological aging as well-particularly in the absence of MMR-induced DSBs. These expansions depend on the processivity of DNA polymerase δ while being counteracted by Exo1 and MutSβ, implicating nick repair. Altogether, these findings show that the mechanisms and types of (GAA)n repeat instability differ dramatically between dividing and nondividing cells, suggesting that distinct repeat-mediated mutations in terminally differentiated somatic cells might influence Friedreich's ataxia pathogenesis.

It is already clear to everyone people who are not even into football that the problems at Naturena are increasing on a daily basis.
Judging by the record, as numbers don't lie, it is clear that there is a problem with the coach and less can be said about the players. Steve Komphela has been with this team for over a season and he is still not convincing. No goals, no flair, no tactics. We are already questioning whether the players are gelling well under his leadership.
From the last game against Platinum Stars, a lot of players showed commitment and that they are hungry for goals. Players such as Chirambadare and Katsvairo are speedy and skillful, and they were impressive.
Despite the Goal Line Technology, overall Chiefs were not eager to win, as the game looked like all the previous games that they lost. This brings us back to the issue of tactics. So time has come without any doubt or hatred, and Komphela should step down and complete his spell at the club peacefully. They can't afford any more embarrassment.
Do you think it’s time for Steve Komphela to step down?

Sudbury, Massachusetts, needs assessment, older residents, dementia
The Livable Sudbury Initiative is based on a distinctive framework meant to ensure that Sudbury is and remains an all-age and dementia-friendly place in which to live, work, and play. Structured around livability principles embedded in the Age-Friendly Community framework, the Livable Sudbury Initiative is designed to intersect with and inform other ongoing efforts, including development of the Sudbury Master Plan and a 14-town collaborative effort of the Minuteman Advisory Group on Interlocal Coordination (MAGIC) to advance regional age-friendly planning. The Sudbury framework considers physical infrastructure as well as social and service environments as it seeks to strengthen livability for all ages and abilities, including those with dementia and their families. An important added feature is Sudbury’s emphasis on equity and inclusion. The purpose of this report is to inform Sudbury’s effort to be “all-age” friendly and inclusive in pursuit of a more livable community for all residents.
Research in support of this report started with two forums conducted in Fall of 2017, during which residents offered initial input about the current livability of Sudbury and their hopes for future improvements. Subsequent data collection included key informant interviews with Town leaders and a systematic review of recent documents prepared in Sudbury in support of related planning efforts. An online resident survey was completed during Spring of 2018. In addition, eight focus groups were held in late Spring and Summer of 2018 to learn about specific issues and populations with respect to the Livable Sudbury effort. Sudbury formally joined the AARP Network of Age- Friendly Communities in April 2018. Findings from this report and other ongoing efforts will be used in developing an action plan for the Livable Sudbury Initiative.

With the participation of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a loan agreement was signed between the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and JSB Ukrgasbank to provide a loan of EUR 30 million with the possibility of further converting loans into the bank's authorized capital.
The loan is provided for a period of five years to finance energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
"Today's signing is not only the first powerful step, which brings us closer to the strategic goal of reducing the state's share in the banking sector of Ukraine, but also a confirmation of the effectiveness of reforms implemented by Ukraine in recent years," the President noted.
According to the President, this also shows that Ukraine is a reliable partner for international investors, which fulfills its commitments and remains open to new investments in the banking sector.
"The reform of the public banking sector is one of the key prerequisites for strengthening the resilience of the financial system of our independent Ukraine and increasing its credit and investment potential. This will accelerate the achievement of European standards in the financial markets, the growth of the Ukrainian economy, ensure macro-financial stability and, most importantly, improve the welfare of the population of Ukraine," Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.
The President noted that Ukraine highly appreciates the role of IFC, which has remained a reliable partner for many years and provided support in the implementation of projects in the energy, private, agricultural sectors, municipal projects, as well as helped implement the latest practices and approaches, including in reforming the state banking sector.
For his part, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal stressed that the signing of this agreement is a signal to investors and future partners that one can and should invest in Ukraine.
"The International Finance Corporation will be an important indicator that the banking system of Ukraine is a stable and reliable partner for future investments. The role of the state in the banking sector will decrease, market mechanisms will help develop the capital market and the financial market in our country," he said.
Minister of Finance of Ukraine Serhiy Marchenko noted that today's event is an extremely positive signal that the state provides an opportunity to invest in the capital of banks.
Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine Kyrylo Shevchenko pointed out that for the first time in the recent financial history of Ukraine the foundation is being laid for an international investor to enter the capital of a large state-owned bank.
"This is a real victory for the entire banking sector. The partnership between the state and the International Finance Corporation will provide Ukrgasbank's customers with access to cheaper resources from international capital markets, increase the bank's reliability and stability for customers," he said.
Interim Managing Director and Executive Vice President at IFC Stephanie von Friedeburg said that a EUR 30 million loan to Ukrgasbank will help finance promising businesses, especially SMEs.
"Together with the World Bank Group, we support Ukrgasbank on the path to privatization and transformation into a more efficient institution. We als support the bank as a leader in climate finance," she said.
After the ceremony, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also got himself acquainted with the Money Museum project at the National Bank. In particular, it provides for excursion programs, interactive activities for children and adults. This project also takes into account the principles of accessibility. In 2022, the National Bank plans to open an Educational Information Center, which will be located in the historic heart of Kyiv, on Kontraktova Square.

Estonia commemorates 14 June 1941 deportation
The 60th anniversary of the mass deportation in 1941 when the Soviets shipped thousands of Estonians to Siberia in cattle cars was marked in Estonia with several nationwide and regional events. Meetings began on 14 June with the noon ringing of church bells across Estonia in memory of the deportees.
The government gave EEK (Estonian kroons) 741,000 (USD 40,000) from its reserve for the commemorative events. Among them, President Lennart Meri conferred the Broken Cornflower Badge on surviving victims of reprisals and a memorial was held on the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds.
Meri shook hands with 6600 victims of repressions all over Estonia as he bestowed the badge he initiated. In all, 10,000 victims of foreign powers received the badge, but more than 3000 were kept from the events by health or other reasons and will receive their badges from local government leaders.
A victim himself of Soviet repressions in the 1940s, Meri thanked those who had survived the hard times for having preserved the state and the people of Estonia. He invited people to look into the future, but never forget what happened 60 years ago. "It is possible to forget, but we must never forget our past," Meri said, adding that Russia should admit the occupation of Estonia and the other Baltic states. "Estonia is still hoping for the Russian Federation to turn its glance into the future and stop repeating the absurdity that the Republic of Estonia joined the Soviet Union voluntarily in 1940, " Meri said.
Ilves underscores Estonia's interests at EU meeting
In talks with the European Union on 12 June in Luxembourg, Foreign Minister Toomas Hendrik Ilves emphasized the need to take Estonia's interests into account, as the decision concerning entry into the EU will be made by the Estonian people. Negotiations require mutual understanding and flexibility from both sides, said Ilves. "We cannot adopt decisions which the Estonians are against because the final decision about the entry into the EU will be made by the Estonian people," he said.
The 12 June talks dealt with six chapters: financial control, free movement of services, environment policy, taxation, free movement of individuals and the customs union. The first three don't require additional negotiations at the moment and are provisionally closed. In the free movement of services and environmental policies, the transition period sought by Estonia has been granted.
Economic minister survives confidence vote
An opposition-sponsored motion of no confidence in Economics Minister Mihkel Pärnoja was rejected by Parliament. Forty-one deputies signed the bill blaming Pärnoja for scandals related to the privatization of Eesti Raudtee (Estonian Railway) and irregularities on the engine fuel market. A minimum of 51 votes in the 101-seat chamber was needed for the motion to be carried.
People's Union elects presidential candidate
The People's Union confirmed Chairman Arnold Rüütel, 73, as its official presidential candidate at a congress on 9 June. A rival, Ene Tomberg, withdrew from the race, urging delegates to give their votes to Rüütel, former chairman of the Supreme Council of Soviet Estonia. The overwhelming majority of the delegates backed Rüütel, so that a count of votes was deemed unnecessary.
Baltic defense ministers meet in Tartu
A three-day seminar in the Baltic Defense College starting on 11 June featured, among other speakers, Lithuanian Defense Minister Linas Linkevicius, Latvian Defense Minister Girts Valdis Kristovskis and Estonian Defense Minister Jüri Luik.
The seminar's goal was to analyze security dimensions in the northeastern and southeastern parts of Europe and to investigate the achievements, shortcomings and future prospects of mutual cooperation. The seminar took place in the framework of NATO's Partnership for Peace Program (PFP). Participants included 70 leading security specialists and scholars from government and academic institutions in 25 NATO and PFP countries.
Estonia will send reconnaissance unit to Bosnia
The government on 12 June endorsed the formation of a reconnaissance company comprising 100 men and its deployment in August to Bosnia and Herzegovina with NATO peacekeeping troops alongside a Danish battalion.
The Estonian Defense Ministry will pay the unit's pre-mission expenses as a part of a Danish battalion in the Nordic-Polish group.
Russian-speakers adopt Estonian names
Many Russian-speakers in Estonia are changing their names to Estonian ones, hoping that an Estonian-sounding name will make life simpler.
So far this year, 29 Russian-speakers have chosen an Estonian name, the daily Eesti Päevaleht reported. Maria, a student at Tartu University who adopted an Estonian surname this spring, said name changes in the spring are connected with graduation exams in April. "If a person changes names before graduation exams, he will get the graduation certificate in the new name," Maria said. "The old name remains in school archives. A new name will help one's career."
And in other news...
- On 12 June, Parliament banned the purchase of aluminum and copper cable as scrap metal until the end of 2003, backed by a fine of up to EEK 500,000 (USD 27,000) for violation. Theft of metal, a major problem for many years, has left entire villages without lights or telephone connections after thieves sold wires for scrap.
- The average gross monthly wage increased in 2000, compared to 1999, by 10.5 percent, averaging EEK 4907 (USD 273).
- An Estonian man, who stepped one meter into Latvia's territory on 9 June as he was taking a photo of his wife and child, found no forgiveness with Estonian border guards who fined him EEK 265 (USD 15).

Wiley Building's garage will have fewer public spots
The Hutchinson City Council learned Tuesday that a parking garage to be built to serve the renovated Wiley Building won't have as many "public" parking places as originally envisioned.
City Manager John Deardoff said the garage, to be built on a vacant lot east of the Fox Theatre with up to $2.5 million contributed by the city, will only have about 102 parking places, as opposed to the 125 originally envisioned. The Wiley Building, being redeveloped by Jack and Jay Manske, will need 73 spaces for residents of apartments and 12 for commercial businesses. The Fox will need six parking spaces. That leaves only 11 other parking spaces, and those won't always be available.
The problem is that once the Manskes' architects began working on the garage, they learned that the Fox, which is deeding some land to Wiley Plaza for the garage, needed a minimum 14-foot clearance so that buses and semitrucks carrying sets and equipment for visiting shows could unload at the back door to the theater. That required a steeper ramp to the second level of the parking garage, eliminating about 20 parking spaces, Deardoff said.
Deardoff said they briefly considered adding another floor to the garage, but that would have cost about $500,000. The architect also warned that adding a fifth level might make the parking garage a harder sell with the State Historic Preservation Office because of the garage compared with the theater.
Approval of the Historic Preservation Office is important to getting historic tax credits for the overall Wiley project. The additional level also would have required relocating a stairwell and elevator shaft so that some windows that are considered historic features in the east side of the theater would not be blocked.
In the new configuration, the 11 spaces not needed for the Wiley Building or the Fox are adjacent to where trucks and buses would unload and load. While they could be leased for public use, it would probably have to be to a company that could agree not to park cars in those slots when the acts visiting the Fox needed to load and unload their trucks and buses, Deardoff said.
Given those circumstances, Deardoff said, he was inclined to suggest that they turn those 11 spots over to the Fox, rather than have the city get involved in managing a few parking spots and paying a share of the cleaning and maintenance of the garage.
Mayor Bob Bush agreed, saying the reason the city agreed to build the garage was to make the Wiley renovation possible and help the Fox Theatre regain access to a part of its building that could only be entered through the closed Wiley Building previously.
"Our purpose has not been to become parking-garage attendants but to help the Wiley Building and the Fox," Bush said.
The City Council took no action on the garage on Tuesday. Deardoff said he brought it up because he didn't want the council to be surprised when, a few weeks from now, he presents a development agreement between the city and the Manskes for the council's approval.
In other business Tuesday, the council voted 4-0, with council member Nancy Soldner absent, to:
* Approve an increase in the fee for reconnecting water service cut off for nonpayment of bills from the current $10 to $30.
Finance Director Frank Edwards said the city has about 20,000 water and sewer accounts and annually processes about 5,000 cutoffs for nonpayment of bills. In some cases, he said, people are undeterred by the current $10 reconnect fee and let their bills go unpaid every month.
Edwards said he hopes the $30 fee will change their behavior. But it will at least recover the city's hard costs, which he estimates at $25.50 for mailing notices, sending someone out to disconnect service and then sending them back out to reconnect service once the overdue bill and fee have been paid.
Hutchinson has the lowest reconnect fee of any major city in the state, Edwards said. Salina charges $40, Newton $65, Topeka $32, Manhattan $25 and Wichita $26.
* Approve an agreement with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism on a $200,000 grant that will help pay for infrastructure at the new park being developed at 43rd Avenue and K-61.
Parks and Facilities Director Mike Lueck will present a plan for how to use the money later, but it probably will include elements cut from Phase I because of budget constraints, including 29 more parking spaces, lighting and an entrance sign.
The city was able to use the $500,000 it contributed to match a private contribution from Lucinda and Craig Piligian to also serve as the city's $200,000 match for the state grant. The latest grant means that the work completed or being planned at the park so far is costing the city only 42 cents on the dollar because of grants and donations, Lueck said.
* Approve a new health and dental insurance contract for city employees for 2014. The contract represents a 1.8 percent decrease in the city's costs, or about $50,000. There are no changes in benefits. Depending on the type of plan and whether it is for the employee only or the employee and his family, the city will pay anywhere from 66 to 90 percent of the premium costs.
* Approve issuance of up to $7.5 million in revenue bonds so that Wesley Towers can refinance its existing bond debt at a lower interest rate and save about $1.2 million in debt maintenance. All the costs of issuing and repaying the bonds are the responsibility of Wesley Towers.
The City Council also conducted a public hearing on issuing up to $5 million in industrial revenue bonds for construction of a family entertainment and bowling center near 23rd and Lorraine. However, an ordinance actually authorizing the bonds won't be brought before the council until after bond documents have been prepared, probably after Jan. 1.

PORTLAND — It was a party, then a punch in the gut.
It was a revelation, followed by revulsion.
In a Cascadia drizzle, the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders produced a downpour of goals in a 4-4 draw Saturday at Providence Park.
The floodgates finally opened for Portland’s offense. But a leaky defense couldn’t hold a two-goal lead in the final minutes.
It left Portland coach Caleb Porter with emotions that where clear as mud.
Asked how he felt following a third draw in three home matches, Porter glared ahead for several seconds, then let out a deep sigh.
“The competitor in me is dejected,” he finally said. “The coach in me is very encouraged by a lot of what I saw today.”
Such is life amid this maddening start to a season many experts said would see Portland contend for a Major League Soccer title.
Elation and frustration, ability and futility, it was all on display over 90-plus entertaining and perplexing minutes Saturday.
The Timbers showed resilience with a furious two-goal burst after falling behind in the third minute. But…
The Timbers’ front line carved apart Seattle’s defense, showing a dynamism that could have easily led to six goals. But…
Blistering goals from 20 yards by Diego Chara and Maximiliano Urruti showed Portland has players that can score from anywhere. But…
Saturday had all the makings of a season-igniting win. Instead, the Timbers have no wins, three draws, two losses and lots of questions.
Porter made two bold moves before kickoff Saturday, benching forward Gaston Fernandez and veteran defender Jack Jewsbury. There most certainly will be more changes to come, thanks to individual defensive lapses saw a seemingly safe lead disappear.
Porter wouldn’t single out the culprits, but made clear some players were not up to par.
“The first half was very good, but we made two big mistakes,” Porter said. “The second half was very good, but we made two big mistakes. Either we change the players or we keep working on it.”
Of all the mixed messages Saturday’s match offered, two things rang loud and clear.
One, the Timbers can and should score often. They simply have too much talent and speed up front and in the midfield.
Two, at moments the Timbers can be hopelessly lost on defense. Some of that has to do with a lack of continuity, as eight different players have started among the five defensive positions. But some has to do with lack of attention.
“There are some guys hanging their heads over there because they know they didn’t do well enough,” Porter said. “I’m not going to abandon them, but there also needs to be accountability at this level.”
Ahead await more challenges as Porter tries to find a lineup that meshes. Ahead await higher stakes as Portland tries to make up ground in the Western Conference.
Ahead is where Porter is looking.
“We can all be undefeated managing Hindsight United,” Porter said.

Susan Martinez: The Lost World of the Little People
All cultures haves stories of the First People, the “Old Ones,” our prehistoric forebears who survived the Great Flood and initiated the first sacred traditions. From the squat “gods” of Mexico and Peru to the fairy kingdom of Europe to the blond pygmies of Madagascar, on every continent of the world they are remembered as masters of stone carving, agriculture, navigation, writing, and shamanic healing–and as a “hobbit” people, no taller than 31/2 feet in height yet perfectly proportioned.
Linking the high civilizations of the Pleistocene to the Golden Age of the Great Little People, Susan Martinez reveals how this lost race was forced from their original home on the continent of Pan (known in myth as Mu or Lemuria) during the Great Flood of global legend. Following the mother language of Pan, Martinez uncovers the original unity of humankind in the common roots of key words and holy symbols, including the scarlet biretta of Catholic cardinals, and shows how the Small Sacred Workers influenced the primitive tribes that they encountered in the post-flood diaspora, leading to the rise of civilization. Examining the North American mound-culture sites, including the diminutive adult remains found there, she explains that these stately mounds were not burial sites but the sanctuaries and homes of the Little People.
Susan B. Martinez, Ph.D., is a writer, linguist, teacher, paranormal researcher, and recognized authority on the Oahspe Bible with a doctorate in anthropology from Columbia University. The author of 3 books, including Time of the Quickening, she is the book review editor for the Academy of Spirituality and Paranormal Studies. She lives in Clayton, Georgia.
