, August 25, 2009 (ENS) – The common herbicide atrazine, known to impact wildlife reproductive health, has contaminated watersheds and drinking water throughout much of the United States, finds a new report released Monday by the Natural Resources Defense Council that raises concern about the chemical's effects on human reproduction.
The environmental nonprofit organization alleges that the U.S. EPA is ignoring its own data showing broad contamination of U.S. waters by atrazine, a known endocrine disruptor that affects human and animal hormones.
"The extent of contamination we found in the data was breathtaking and alarming," said Andrew Wetzler, director of NRDC's Wildlife Conservation Program and deputy director of NRDC's Midwest Program, as well as one of the report's authors. "The EPA found atrazine almost everywhere they looked."
The contamination data in the report was obtained as the result of a legal settlement and Freedom of Information Act requests, the NRDC said.
"I think that the public will find this hard to swallow and I hope it will help force the EPA to address the situation more aggressively," said Wetzler.
The report finds that all of the watersheds monitored by EPA and 90 percent of the drinking water sampled tested positive for atrazine, which is sold under dozens of brand names. It is now found in more than 45 pre-mixes in the U.S. and is the active ingredient most frequently used by manufacturers in combination herbicide products.

Contamination was most severe in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, and Nebraska.
"Evidence shows atrazine contamination to be a widespread and dangerous problem that has not been communicated to the people most at risk," said Jennifer Sass, PhD, NRDC senior scientist and an author of the report.
"U.S. EPA is ignoring some very high concentrations of this pesticide in water that people are drinking and using every day," said Sass. "This exposure could have a considerable impact on reproductive health. Scientific research has tied this chemical to some ghastly impacts on wildlife and raises red flags for possible human impacts."
Banned by the European Union, atrazine is regulated in the United States by the U.S. EPA. Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, EPA has determined that an annual average of no more than three parts per billion (ppb) of atrazine may be present in drinking water.
One of the chief findings of the NRDC report is that this reliance on a "running annual average" allows levels of atrazine in drinking water to peak at extremely high concentrations.
The agrochemical herbicide Atrazine (Photo credit unknown)
The effects associated with atrazine, even at low levels of exposure, are well documented. Concentrations as low as 0.1 ppb have been shown to alter the development of sex characteristics in male frogs, resulting in male frogs with female sex characteristics and the presence of eggs in male frog testes.
Some scientists are concerned about exposure for children and pregnant women, as small doses could impact development of the brain and reproductive organs. Atrazine also acts as a multiplier to increase the toxic effects of other chemicals in the environment.
The federal Agency for Toxic Substances warns that, "Atrazine may affect pregnant women by causing their babies to grow more slowly than normal. Birth defects and liver, kidney, and heart damage has been seen in animals exposed to high levels of atrazine."
Atrazine has its defenders. Jere White, executive director of the Kansas Corn Growers Association and Kansas Grain Sorghum Producers Association says, "Atrazine is a safe, effective and affordable herbicide that helps our growers control weeds in their crops. What's more, our growers are using practices that are keeping the levels of atrazine well below EPA's drinking water standard. That means even according to EPA's extremely strict standards, atrazine at these levels presents no threat to drinking water."
The NRDC says the herbicide has "limited economic value" and "safer agricultural methods can be substituted to achieve similar results."
The environmental group would like to see atrazine phased out, more effective atrazine monitoring, and the adoption of farming techniques that can help minimize the use of atrazine to keep it from running into waterways.
NRDC recommends that consumers concerned about atrazine contamination in their drinking water use a simple and economical household water filter, such as one that fits on the tap.
Consumers should make sure that the filter they choose is certified by NSF International to meet American National Standards Institute Standard 53 for the reduction of volatile organic compounds and therefore capable of reducing many contaminants, including atrazine and other herbicides and pesticides.
NRDC's SimpleSteps website includes an online form to allow people to take on a watchdog role by collecting information on how their public water systems are treating these issues. Visit www.simplesteps.org/atrazine for more information.

With the steel and iron mineral industry greatly development, the iron smelters technology and the crushing or grinding mill machines has the better demand,in recently years, Smelting iron in Honduras involves more than just melting the metal out of its iron ore. Most iron ores are a chemical compound of the metal with other elements, such as oxygen, sulfuror carbon and oxygen together . To produce the metal, these compounds have to undergo a chemical reaction. Smelting therefore consists of using suitable reducing substances that will combine with those oxidizing elements to free the metal.
Liming heavy industry export iron smelters beneficiation machines as follows:
Iron Ore beneficiation Equipments:
1.Grizzly Feeder for Iron ore beneficiation
2.Vibrating Screen for Iron ore beneficiation
3.Jaw Crusher and hpc400 hydraulic cone crusher
4.Ball Mill for Iron ore beneficiation
5.Floatation Machine for Iron ore beneficiation
6.Slurry Pumps for Iron ore beneficiation
7.Wet Drum Magnetic Separator for Iron ore benefication
8.Belt Conveyors for Iron ore beneficiation
HPC400 hydraulic cone crusher applied for iron smelters process:
First the iron ore raw materials are regularly conveyed into the elementary-crushing machine by the vibrating feeder, and then the belt conveyor transfers the elementary products to impact crusher for secondary crushing. The secondary products will be separated according to its size by vibrating screen. The products not matching needs will be returned to the impact crusher for further crushing. The important role is the iron ore products are belt into hpc400 hydraulic cone crusher to do the ultimate beneficiation crushing process.

The most common way to clean out a clogged nozzle is by inserting a wire through the print head to help push any stuck filament out. Two types of wire can be used here, 0.35mm thick piano wire or 0.28mm guitar string. In either case you will need to:
*First preheat the print head.
*Once preheated, push the wire in from above the heat sink. Please make sure not to force the wire through as doing so can damage the printer.
*Gently use a sawing motion to clean out any remaining burnt filament.
Another method to clean out simple clogs from your printer is by forcing filament through to push out any clog and clean out any residue. In the 3D printer community, this is called the "atomic pull method". To do this:
*Heat up your extruder to the optimal temperature for your filament (210°c for PLA).
*When heated up, remove any filament that can be pulled out of the feed tube.
*Take a small portion of your filament (we recommend using a filament with a higher melting point like ABS if you are cleaning out PLA) and force it into the nozzle until you only see the color filament you are feeding through.
*Next, change the nozzle temperature down to around 90 degrees and allow the printer to reach temperature.
*Once the temperature is reached, maintain pressure on the filament for at least 2 minutes.
*Pull the filament out of the nozzle from the top to help clear out leftover debris in the process.
*Repeat as necessary.
Should neither of these methods work, our last suggestion would be to use a small hand drill. The hand drill would need to go in from the bottom of the nozzle and be used in a slow spinning motion to clean it out. Again, please make sure not to force this method to avoid damaging the nozzle.

Infinity Ward and Raven Software devs have given a very first preview of some content to expect with Call of Duty: Warzone in Season 4 of the game.
Season 3 launched in early April, and based on the Battle Pass timer in-game, Season 4 should begin around the first week of June.
In an interview with GamerGen, Infinity Ward has teased some of the content that is coming to Warzone in Season 4.
Kurosaki, Infinity Ward’s Narrative Director, says the story line will continue with Season 4 of the game and says new people will be dropping in to join the fight in Verdansk. He also says that some mysterious and clues will be unlocked in Season 4 for players to explore and learn more.
Players have already discovered that there is a whole other part of Verdansk they haven’t seen yet. They have found clues, and that there is more than meets the eye in this city. Season 4 will unravel some of those mysteries and unlock some of them for our players. As the battle in Verdansk wages on, things will grow more desperate. There are going to be more and more fighters sent in to turn the tide and we’re very excited to get our players to see and join alongside these new great warriors as they continue to fight.
Amos Hodge, Raven’s Creative Director, says that there will be new loot for players to find in Warzone in Season 4 of the game, including new Field Upgrades. He also says that some loot will be added that extends beyond what’s available in loadouts. And there will be new modes.
On the gameplay stuff I can tell you that there will definitely be new modes, we’re constantly working on modes. So new modes we’ll be releasing, and we’re working on new content – new items in game that you can put in your loadout. There will be new items to find in BR and Plunder that aren’t in your loadout to add gameplay and a little looting. There will be new field upgrades for example. So we’re working on new Field Upgrades, new modes, new loot in general that you can get in your loadout to add some new spice to the game.
In addition, as part of the same interview, Infinity Ward’s Kurosaki has clarified his comments on Warzone having Fortnite-like events. He says that Fortnite and Modern Warfare are ‘very different’ and going for different approaches.
I wouldn’t say they’re Fortnite-like events, because Fortnite is such a different type of a game than Modern Warfare. With Fortnite you know that the world is ever evolving and ever changing so much you kind of don’t want to go away from it or you might miss something. It’s the same thing with Warzone.
He says that a narrative story has been in the works since before Modern Warfare came out and that they are ensuring that the overall world operates like the real world as that is how Modern Warfare is built.
In terms of story, we’ve been setting up this narrative since before Modern Warfare came out. An important point for us is that Modern Warfare exists in a world that operates not unlike the world that we live in. The same thing goes for Multiplayer, Spec Ops and Warzone. These are real factions that mimic the way the world and it’s super powers. They have allegiances, sort of rivalries… The big what if with Warzone is that those traditional allegiances have broken down, and someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes and we, as the Operators in the game, are trying to figure out what’s going on and how to solve it.
Stay tuned for the latest news.

Motorists may face huge fines of over £1,000 if their vehicles are not clean enough, according to changes to the Highway Code.
The new rule specifies that windscreens and windows “must be kept clean and free from obstructions to vision” or drivers could risk fines of up to £1,000.
If the case is taken to court, the penalty could be increased to £5,000, and the driver might receive up to nine points.
It was recently announced that seven new laws that will take effect this year, and few motorists are aware of the changes, which may be costly if they are caught.
With the Highway Code changes, the government is building a hierarchy of road users, ranking people who use the road to guarantee that those who cause the most harm face the biggest responsibility for lowering the risk they may pose to others.
Regulation 30 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 now states that if your eyesight is obstructed while driving, you will be in violation of driving safety.
The Highway Code was updated this year to include Annex 6, which requires that lights, indicators, reflectors, and number plates be kept clean and clear. Windscreens and windows should be kept clean and clear of obstructions. To avoid blinding other road users, lights must be set properly. If the vehicle is heavily overloaded, extra care must be taken.
With the rising price of petrol, drivers are being reminded of one of the most common driving errors. One ray of hope was the announcement of a simple regulation that may save drivers more than £160 per year in fuel costs.
A new “hierarchy of road users” places additional responsibility on drivers to protect the most vulnerable road users.
An AA spokeswoman told Mirror Money,”Drivers have a legal responsibility to maintain their vehicle in a safe and roadworthy condition, so if the windscreen is dirty to such an extent that it’s affecting their ability to drive safely, they could be fined.
“However, it’s easily rectified and easy to avoid through basic cleaning and maintenance.”

For more information about the project, contact Water Distribution Supervisor Emilio Lopez at 509-575-6196.


Scotland, like many other developed countries, is using an unfair and unsustainable share of the world's resources, such as energy and food. If everyone on Earth used resources at the same rate we do in Scotland we'd need far more than our planet could provide.
Every time we get in the car, turn on a light, buy our groceries or go on holiday, we make our mark. The challenge that faces us, is how can we all enjoy a high quality of life without spoiling our world for future generations?
Whether at home, at work, at leisure or at school, we can all help to reduce our impact on the planet by taking some simple steps to use less resources.
'This is a global problem requiring a global solution, but we can all help to make a difference. If we reduce the amount of energy we use and make our energy consumption more efficient, we will reduce the impact that we, as individuals, have on the environment'.
Professor Sir David King, Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK Government.

“Human-made chemicals known as PFAS are back in the spotlight after the feminine hygiene company Thinx settled a class-action lawsuit earlier this month for millions of dollars.
The lawsuit was brought against Thinx by customers who claimed testing showed the brand’s period underwear — advertised by the company as sustainable, organic and reusable — contained PFAS, otherwise known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or forever chemicals…
…Thinx settled with the five plaintiffs late last year for up to $5 million, but a recently-launched website has reignited interest in the case and restarted the conversation on what consumers need to know about PFAS.
The website, Thinxunderwearsettlement.com, shares details on who is eligible to file a claim to be able to receive part of the settlement money.
Here is what to know about the Thinx settlement and the allegations over PFAS.
An article published in 2020 by Sierra magazine first brought attention to the ingredients in Thinx products.
The article’s author, Jessian Choy, had Thinx menstrual underwear and a similar product from another brand tested by Dr. Graham Peaslee, a physics professor at the University of Notre Dame, whose research focuses on PFAS.
Peaslee found the presence of PFAS in the Thinx products at ‘high levels,’ ‘especially on the inside layers of the crotch,’ according to Choy’s article.
Following the article’s publication, several lawsuits were filed against Thinx, and eventually those cases were merged into the one class-action lawsuit against the company that was settled last year.”…

The newest season of "The Bachelor" kicks off next week, and Trista Sutter is proof that the dating show can actually end in real love. As the very first "Bachelorette," she met firefighter Ryan Sutter and got married on national television. Now, the couple has two kids and is celebrating 10 years of happy marriage.
WATCH: Bachelor Secrets Revealed
"It can work!" Trista says about the show. She credits the success of their union to openness, laughter, and lots of sex. "We've just learned a lot from each other over the years, and I think we're both open to continuing to learn."
Despite her happy marriage, Trista says she struggled with depression after making the decision to have plastic surgery to correct a droopy eye. She was allergic to her antibiotic and ended up getting sick for weeks afterward. "I went into clinical depression," she says. "I was like a shell of myself. It was horrible."
Trista eventually came out of the tough stage of her life, and she credits gratitude with helping to keep her grounded through good times and bad. Her new book, "Happily Ever After: The Life-Changing Power of a Grateful Heart," shares the lessons she's learned from being thankful for the little things every day.
To find out if Trista ever took any advice from "Bachelor" host Chris Harrison, check out this episode of "Daily Shot."

A Central Alberta filmmaker is thrilled about tackling a new project that will hold an empowering message.
Cassandra Johnston, who studied both acting and film production at Red Deer College, is directing Ugly Girl along with Alex Adamson. The talented duo also penned the story and, according to the synopsis, the film focuses on Charlie, a girl with odd facial features who enters a talent show to, “Prove that it’s not how you look, it’s how you feel.
“A daunting three days until the performance, she takes the weekend to master her chosen craft. With fearless determination and uncompromising courage, she navigates the gruelling art of tap dance. Feeling great, the takes the stage and gives the audience the performance of her life.”
Johnston also wrote a directed another critically-acclaimed short film a few years back called Mending with Gold, which landed on the festival circuit as well. That experience is part of what spurred her on to further explore this magical means of artistic expression, although of course she has long been immersed in the fascinating craft.
“We film June 10th to the 15th, and we are going to be filming around Lacombe,” she said, adding the film will ultimately have an 80s/90s sensibility to it. She’s also scouting a couple of Red Deer locations as well.
As to the film itself, Johnston is excited to not only launch production on it, but also to see how it will ultimately impact audiences.
She’s also the title character in the project, which will ultimately run about seven minutes in length.
“It can’t be more than 10 minutes,” she said, referring to production guidelines set out by Storyhive, the organization which funds films and supports filmmakers with mentorship from the National Screen Institute.
For Johnston, acting provides that intrinsically fascinating opportunity to interpret a particular character.
“You get to be anybody,” she said. “And that’s what got me into it — telling these stories through really interesting characters.”
She does, however, admit that there are limitations with it in terms of the types of roles that are typically available much of the some.
But with directing, the sky truly is the limit.
The ability to have creative control in an array of areas is endlessly enticing.
“When you act, you go and you do your part and you leave and then what they do with it is up to them,” she explained. “Directing is the exact opposite. You collect all of the these little parts and then you put it together into what you want it to be.”
As to Ugly Girl, Johnston describes it as a ‘feel good’ story. “We want it to be really fun.” she said.
“We don’t want it to be all serious business. We want the filming to be fun, the editing to be fun — and again, it’s going to have those 80s and 90s vibes which I’m really stoked about because I like that style. It’s another reason I like movies so much – you also get to put your style on it.
The idea for the project surfaced a few years back.
“I’ve had the idea for a film called Ugly Girl for about three years now,” she said, adding that the story didn’t immediately flesh out. Conversations led to its growth and development, however, and it ended up being what she describes as a really cool story.
“It’s different and original,” she said.
As to the message, it’s about how people need to feel good about themselves before other experiences can be perceived as feeling good as well.
In the original clip pitched to Storyhive, Paige describes Ugly Girl as a film that, “Explores what it’s like to be a woman with fearless determination who has yet to find her purpose.
“The film is an inspirational underdog story touching on the themes of perseverance, self love, dedication and courage that will resonate with people of all walks of life. This film is for anyone feeling lost or behind, negative about career choices, swamped by perceived failures, or has ever just felt plain ugly. Just remember, it’s not how you look – it’s how you feel.”
Looking ahead, Johnston wants to keep exploring the art of filmmaking and she’s also found shooting music videos to be a fun and thoroughly creative venture as well.
As to Ugly Girl, watch for its release this fall.
For more information, you can find Ugly Girl on facebook.


The Addu City Council has denied President Abdulla Yameen’s claim that a project to install lights at the Feydhoo stadium was stalled due to disagreements within the council.
Newspaper Haveeru quoted Deputy Mayor Abdulla Thoyyib as saying that contrary to Yameen’s remarks in Feydhoo last week, the project to upgrade stadiums in the southernmost atoll was financed out of the city council’s budget.
The project was awarded to the Hithadhoo Southern Maldives Contracting and Trading Company, Thoyyib explained, and remained stalled due to disagreements among youth in the island.
Four youth associations met the council last month and presented plans for installing the lights, he added.
Final preparations were underway to install the lights in accordance with the wishes of the youth groups, Thoyyib said.


Theres nothing more tiresome or predictable than a cable news host who makes the show about himself. Narcissism is to TV people what black lung is to coal miners, and we do our best to avoid catching it. But we’re going to break our rule and tell you about something pretty interesting that happened to “Tucker Carlson Tonight” a couple of days ago.
On Tuesday, we did a segment about the nation of Ukraine. Now, Ukraine may be a perfectly nice place to visit, but you wouldn’t think it would get a lot of attention from a superpower like this one. Ukraine is a pretty small country, really. It’s in Eastern Europe. It’s 5,000 miles from Washington. It’s got a population about the size of the state of California. So hugely significant? Not really. And yet we never seem to stop talking about Ukraine.
As the Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden himself spent an enormous amount of his time meddling in the internal affairs of Ukraine and because of his influence in that country, his son Hunter got a job at a Ukrainian company and got rich from that. Then Donald Trump was impeached for speaking on the phone to an official from, yes, Ukraine.
BIDEN SWIPES FOX NEWS REPORTER FOR PRESSING HIM ON GROWING RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT
And now, as of tonight, we’re moving closer to a war over Ukraine. In the coming days, Russia may violate Ukraine’s eastern border, and this, we are told, cannot stand. In Washington, the territorial integrity of the United States means precisely nothing. Walls are racist. We’re a nation of immigrants. But the territorial integrity of Ukraine? That is something we must fight for.
A remarkably broad spectrum of political figures appeared on all three cable networks to explain that if Russians crossed the Ukrainian border in an undocumented caravan, we have a moral obligation to use force immediately.
ADAM SCHIFF, CBS: We will move more NATO’s assets closer to Russia, not further away if they once again bring war to Ukraine.
ALEXANDER VINDMAN, MSNCB: It’s just not going to be that simple. I think we should be doing a lot more and we, we shouldn’t be just considering a diplomatic track.
REP. DAN CRENSHAW, FOX NEWS: There needs to be clear consequences for what they do because we’ve failed to deter and now you’re inviting conflict. It’s a, it’s a very bad situation and we’ve left ourselves without many options as a result.
REP. MICHAEL MCCAUL, CNN: I don’t think we’re providing the deterrence necessary to stop Putin from invading Ukraine, the breadbasket of Russia.
JOE SCARBOROUGH, MSNBC: And it’s time for the Biden White House to start speaking more clearly and more aggressively and telling us how they’re going to stop this invasion from happening.
Secretary of State of U.S. Antony Blinken speaks as he greets embassy staff at the U.S. embassy, in Kyiv, Ukraine, January 19, 2022. Alex Brandon/Pool via REUTERS
Oh, they’re all red in the face, but it’s not the usual partisan chorus. This is the entire choir. You just saw representatives from every faction in Washington, from Adam Schiff to Dan Crenshaw, not as different as they seem, and all the dummies in between. And all of them are promoting war against Russia on behalf of our new and deeply beloved ally, the government of Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin is our most dangerous enemy, they scream. We can’t let him hurt Ukraine. So it turns out Russiagate was actually more effective even than we’d realize. The Steele dossier has been debunked. But in Washington, the theme remains in force: Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia is bad. What is this about, exactly?
Well, obviously it’s the usual collection of children falling for the usual collection of lies, but why this specific lie? On Tuesday, we tried to get to the bottom of this because it seems like it matters. We spoke to a man called Clint Ehrlich. As Ehrlich pointed out, there are a lot of factors here driving us toward war over Ukraine. But one of them, a central one, is NATO. So what is NATO and what is the purpose of NATO since the fall of the Soviet Union 30 years ago that NATO was designed as a bulwark against?
Well, no one can answer that question. Not one person and yet the same people who cooked up the Iraq War are now insisting that Ukraine must join NATO anyway. That would mean putting American military hardware right on Russia’s border, and Russia doesn’t want that any more than we would want Russian missiles in Tijuana. Hence, the tension. Now the irony, as Clint Ehrlich pointed out, is that NATO doesn’t even want Ukraine to join. In other words, the whole thing is nuts. It serves no American interest whatsoever. It is yet another manufactured crisis, this one devised by restless, power-hungry neocons in Washington looking for another war. Here’s part of what Clint Ehrlich told us.
RUSSIA EXPERT ON TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT: US SLEEPWALKING TOWARD NEW CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS
EHRLICH: Here we have people who are arguing that even if the Russians don’t invade Ukraine, that we need to invade and kick the Russians out of Crimea, that was an op-ed from a senior Obama administration official this week. And so I would say that it’s even simpler than that. We’re dealing with our warmongers, unserious people whose policy prescriptions could have deadly serious consequences. The deeper irony is that NATO doesn’t even want Ukraine, that it’s a corrupt country. It’s more of a liability than it would be a military asset. And the people who are pushing this simply argue that it needs to happen because Russia shouldn’t have a veto over who’s in NATO. In other words, even when it’s in our mutual interest to not have a state in NATO, we have to insist that there will be added just to spite the Russians.
Well, that was an interesting conversation, and those seem like fair points. If they’re wrong, go ahead and explain how they’re wrong. We’ll listen. But official Washington is done explaining anything, as you may have noticed. So instead, the very same foreign policy geniuses who brought slave markets to Libya went insane with rage. Not since we made fun of pregnant flight suits have they been this mad. “Fox host unabashedly makes Putin’s case,” barked CNN’s White House correspondent. “Unabashedly,” “shows how the disinformation successes of Russian intelligence extend way beyond Trump.” “Tucker is all-in for Putin,” noted Bill Kristol, a man who couldn’t even run a small circulation magazine, but imagines he should run our country’s foreign policy. And then a former DNC contractor called Alexandra Chalupa announced that this shows opinions violated the law. “This isn’t journalism,” she wrote. “It’s an ongoing FARA violation. Tucker Carlson needs to be prosecuted as an unregistered agent of the Russian Federation and treason under Article 3, Section 3, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution for aiding an enemy in hybrid warfare against the United States.”
RUSSIAN THREAT TO UKRAINE COULD PUSH FINLAND, SWEDEN TO JOIN NATO
A death penalty offense! What Alexandra Chalupa didn’t mention, speaking of FARA violations, is that she herself has extensive personal ties to the Ukrainian government. In 2016, Chalupa contacted Ukraine’s embassy looking for dirt on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Now, she says that anyone who doesn’t believe Americans should die for Ukraine must be sent to prison.
Virginia Congressman Gerry Connolly didn’t go that far, but close. He called us “right-wing agitator spewing Russian propaganda into millions of American homes.” Like a virus. And then Congressman Eric Swalwell of California, a man who literally had sex with a Chinese spy, apparently multiple times in very strange ways, agreed with this. “Carrying Putin’s water again,” he wrote on Twitter. And then one of Barack Obama’s speechwriters accused us of being “on the side of ethno-nationalist authoritarianism.” Ethno-nationalism.
So if you don’t support fighting a war on behalf of all White Ukraine against all White Russia, you my friend are a racist and so on. So what’s so interesting here is that there was not a single argument, not a single idea in any of it. These aren’t just Twitter trolls, these are people who imagine themselves, foreign policy heavyweights, deep thinkers, statesmen. But when challenged, all they could muster was name-calling. They went ad hominem immediately because they had nothing else. They’re pathetic.
U.S. President Joe Biden holds a formal news conference in the East Room of the White House, in Washington, D.C., U.S., January 19, 2022. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque
That ought to worry you, though, because they may be pathetic. They’re also very powerful. So in the end, it fell to poor Kamala Harris to explain why we need to fight for the honor of Ukraine. And she did it on The Today Show, the Biden administration’s forum for deep thoughts on foreign policy. Here’s what she said.
HARRIS: And on the subject of Ukraine, I will tell you that the president has been very clear and we, as the United States are very clear. If Putin takes aggressive action, we are prepared to levy serious and severe costs. Period. And I will tell you that part of the posture that we have taken is grounded in the respect and the value we place in sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Reading her little talking points as vehemently as she can. But the best? The emphasis we place, the value we place, on territorial integrity. Borders. Sovereignty. The right to determine who comes into your country and when. That’s the word from Kamala Harris, the lifelong open borders activist.
So how should Putin handle this? Well, Putin had a better imagination, apparently he doesn’t. He’d paint the Russian tanks now massed on the Ukrainian border with the slogan, “No person is illegal.” What would Kamala Harris say to that? On what grounds would she tell Russians who just want a better life with their families in Ukraine that they can’t come to Ukraine? If the Russians just quoted Emma Lazarus, Kamala Harris would have to back off and support them and their voting rights in Ukraine.

But unfortunately for them, the Russians are just too literal for this. When they invade a country, just go ahead and call it an invasion. But you still have to wonder, invasion or not, why is any of this a profound concern of ours? Why would you even consider risking American lives or sending billions of dollars to stop it? There are multiple border wars underway around the world. Multiple just on the continent of Africa, right now. There always have been. Many are dying in those wars. And yet Kamala Harris is not agitating for American troops to Congo. How come? We can only speculate about that What we do know is that the administration’s Russia policy would only make sense if your goal was to gravely hurt the United States of America. Already, we have spent nearly $4 billion in aid to Ukraine over the last few years, much of it for weapons. The point of this is to tweak Russia and, if necessary, to kill Russians. Our leads feel very superior about this, morally. They brag about it constantly. So it’s an up, it’s a win for them. But what about the cost to the rest of us and to our country?
China is the preeminent threat to the United States. Nothing comes close to the threat that China poses. Here’s the truth: The U.S. military, impressive as it is, is not big enough to engage meaningfully simultaneously in Europe and in Asia. Can’t do both at the same time.
So our attention to Ukraine, by definition, detracts from our attention to China. But worse and more dangerous than that, more dangerous than anything, it drives the Russians into an alliance of convenience of necessity with the Chinese government. So here you have our two biggest rivals, united. United not simply against our military, but against our currency. When the U.S. dollar is displaced as the world’s reserve currency, this country will become poor overnight. This, what you’re watching now, will be one of the reasons why it happened. So it’s hard to imagine anything more significant or destructive than what these people are doing right now. It’s not just about Ukraine, it’s about our future.
This article is adapted from Tucker Carlson’s opening commentary on the January 20, 2022, edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

By staff reporter
A man wanted in Scotland for tax evasion has been detained by police after he was released by the Turkish Cypriot breakaway state in the north of the island, it emerged on Friday.
Michael Voudouris, 46, fled to the north of the island in October 2012 after pleading guilty to a €12.6 million (£10.3 million) tax fraud.
He was released on bail but ended up doing a runner to the breakaway regime in the north which has no extradition treaty with Britain.
Voudouris had been on the run for 14 months before police arrested him in a restaurant in Famagusta, reports said.
On Friday, police said Voudouris was in custody in the Republic but could not provide any other information regarding his extradition to Scotland.
Scotland’s Daily Record said Voudouris appeared on top 10 most-wanted list of tax dodgers.
He laundered millions of pounds stolen by Glasgow computer firm Q-Tech Distribution in a carousel VAT fraud.
Voudouris stashed fortunes in bank accounts in Cyprus, Greece and Switzerland, the Daily Record said.

Subdividing family land rules back on agenda
HOUMA -- Changes in subdivision regulations, cell-phone allowances and whether the parish's Web site should be the government journal are among the topics the Terrebonne Parish Council will discuss this week.
A panel reviewing parish subdivision regulations is recommending placing restrictions on how parents give land to their children. The changes are meant to ensure adequate road and drainage conditions exist in current and future Terrebonne subdivisions.
Under the proposal, families would find it more difficult and expensive to subdivide their property, but it would still be possible to do.
The panel, made up of parish officials, local developers and engineers, suggested taking out any mention of family partitions in the regulations. A family partition is a division of property into two or more lots for the purpose of transferring ownership within the family.
Family partitions are often used to allow children to build a house or put a trailer next to a parent's home. The parish is not required to provide utilities and maintenance to all parts of a divided property. Therefore, once the land changes hands parish officials said they sometimes receive complaints of poor conditions, such as not having paved roads.
Before the council votes on subdivision regulation changes, local residents can share their opinions at two public hearings. The hearings are Wednesday and May 11; both will be at 6:30 p.m. in the council meeting room on the second floor of the Government Tower, 8026 Main St. in Houma.
Here's a rundown of council committee meetings this week.
The Budget and Finance Committee meets at 5:30 p.m. Monday. The council will consider introducing an ordinance to create a small-business procurement program in the parish. This is an effort to give small businesses more opportunities to provide the parish with goods and services.
The only other item on the agenda is discussion of a report from the Revenue Review Committee. But Parish Manager Barry Blackwell said the parish administration is not ready to talk about the report yet. The panel's recommendations will be discussed at the May 9 committee meeting.
Next up is the Policy, Procedure and Legal Committee meeting. A panel of three council members will recommend the full council consider lowering monthly cell-phone allowances for council members. Each representative is reimbursed up to $150 a month for cell-phone charges. The chairman and vice-chairman are reimbursed up to $165 a month.
Councilmen Clayton Voisin, Pete Lambert and Harold Lapeyre will suggest lowering the allowance to $100 a month for council members and $115 a month for the chairman and vice-chairman. If a council member exceeds the limit, he or she will have to pay the extra amount.
Those rates are exactly how much the allowance was prior to July 28. On that day the council voted 7-1 to pass an ordinance raising the allowance from to their current levels.
The council will also talk about two resolutions requesting the parish's legislative delegation propose new or amended legislation in Baton Rouge. The first resolution requests changing the length of a recreation-district board member's term in office from five years to three.
Councilwoman Christa Duplantis requested the resolution on the theory that shorter terms would allow greater participation by more interested citizens.
Voisin requested the council consider a resolution that would allow the parish Web site to serve as the official government journal. The Courier currently serves in that capacity.
The resolution up for consideration says the money currently spent each year to publish council meeting minutes, notices and bids could be better spent on numerous other parish needs.
State law, however, spells out the qualifications required of an official journal. The journal must be based in the same parish as the government entity, been published uninterrupted for at least five years and have a paid circulation.
There are also a number of condemnation hearings Monday. Public hearings will be held for structures at the following addresses: 405 Williams Ave., 130 Wolfe Parkway, 1421 Gaureaux St., 418 Honduras St., 950 Grand Caillou Road and 1139 ½ Willow St. All are considered nuisance property because of their rundown condition.
Tuesday's meetings begins at 5 p.m. with the Community Development and Planning Committee meeting. The start time is a half-hour earlier than normal because council members have to participate in a Head Start program training session. The council serves as the governing board for the local program and the state requires occasional training sessions for all the governing boards.
Following the conclusion of that meeting, the council will sit as the Public Services Committee meeting. The council will listen to a presentation by Navigant Consultants about the Louisiana Energy and Power Authority's proposed power-supply arrangements and discuss a no-parking sign on a portion of B Street.

Jose Serra has called for trade talks with Britain
Jose Serra has called for immediate talks between the UK and Latin America's trading bloc Mercosur - also known as Mercosul - following Britain's vote to leave the European Union (EU).
Brazil is the largest economy in South America and wants free trade discussions with Britain, according to the Financial Times.
Mr Serra said he would he be making immediate contact with Boris Johnson in an effort to boost relations between the two countries.
He said: "Our idea is to open right away a negotiation between Mercosul and the UK, which has a more open economy and have a very important position in relation to investment in Brazil, yet imports relatively little from Brazil."
The minister added: "As soon as the new minister of external affairs takes office, I will make contact with him to reinforce existing initiatives and explore how to advance them under the auspices of Mercosul."
It comes after the United States and Canada have already reached out to Britain and stressed the importance of trade deals with the UK outside the EU.
Shortly after the referendum outcome, President Barack Obama said the UK and EU will remain "indispensable partners" of the United States.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau echoed the sentiment.
He said: "The UK and the EU are important strategic partners for Canada with whom we enjoy deep historical ties and common values.
"We will continue to build relations with both parties as they forge a new relationship."
The World Trade Organisation also said it was prepared to help Britain after the vote to leave the bloc.
WTO director-general Roberto Azevedo said: "The WTO stands ready to work with the UK and the EU to assist them in any way we can."

Kids are our sweet little angels, and naturally, we want to give them only the best. But it often happens so that what is good for an adult, isn’t that good for a child. It is especially relevant when talking about furnishing and arranging the space of your child’s room. What is a good idea for a room that belongs to an adult, can be a complete fail for a nursery.
Below you can read about the main mistakes loving parents make when they furnish their children’s rooms. Even if you have the opportunity to spend a lot of money on your beloved child’s room, do it smartly and think of the child’s comfort first.
1. Cold light
If a child’s room doesn’t seem cozy and homely even if you’ve hired the best designer to furnish it, this may be because of the light shade. Lighting in a nursery should be warm and equipped with a dimmer system to make it less bright when needed. Yellowish color is warmer than white or blue.
2. Bright colors
Bold colors may seem a good idea for the nursery. Kids like bright colors and they help them study. But staying in a room full of bright colors can affect their attention and mood. A nursery isn’t an entertainment center, the child should be able to relax in this room. Pastel or neutral shades are better. In addition, they can be matched with furniture of any color.
3. Expensive wallpapers
This depends on the child’s age. Small children destroy everything they see on the way to explore the world. You should be ready that the walls of a nursery may be covered with drawings or something worse. It’s better to cover the walls with something that is washed easily.
4. Glass elements
Perhaps it’s the worst idea to decorate your child’s room with glass elements. It’s an eco-friendly material that is easily washed, but its transparency can create a danger of injury. Glass wall partitions, doors or other furniture are questionable even for some adults and an absolute no-no for kids.
5. Wrong placement of the bed
Placing a bed in the nursery should be focused on two things. First, it should be in the quietest place in the room, where the sounds from outside are quieter. Second, it shouldn’t be in a place where a draft can blow. The best way is to place it near a wall, out of the way from window to doors.
6. Gender stereotypes
If you have a boy, the room shouldn’t necessarily be in blue shades. If you have a girl, it shouldn’t necessarily be pink. Neutral colors are for any gender. Or you can ask your child to chose the shade he or she likes the best but this won’t work with small kids.
7. High furniture
High items of furniture create a danger for your child. The kid’s things should be easy to reach without climbing on a chair from where the child can fall. Or even worse, a high and heavy wardrobe can fall on your child.
Safety, comfort, and functionality are key points for furnishing a nursery. Don’t forget, this room is for a child, not for an adult!

The man Jaya banks on in DelhiN Sathiya Moothy in Madras
"Who do you think 'Amma' will nominate for a major berth in the Cabinet, now that the All India Anna DMK with its 18 MPs is the largest partner of the Bharatiya Janata Party, and the latter too stands the chance of heading a coalition government at the Centre?" A Delhi-based BJP strategist asked this of a Madras-based journalist-friend within hours of the final results of the Lok Sabha poll started trickling in, in the first week of March.
"Whether or not he gets a Cabinet berth -- and the chances are he may not -- the key portfolio from the AIADMK's viewpoint will go to R K Kumar, and Jayalalitha will insist on his getting some part of the finance ministry."
"R K, who?" asked the Delhi strategist. Not that he had not heard of Kumar's name, but even he did not know that the suave and low-profile auditor-politician from Madras merited that high on Jayalalitha's preferences. "He is one AIADMK man you can have in the ministry to give it some kind of a professional image in North Block -- and the best thing you can do to promote his nomination is to keep quiet," added the journalist, quickly.
Raghavachari Krishna Kumar has travelled some distance in the last month as the minister of state for finance. Rather, minister of state for banking and finance, to be precise.
Possibly for the first time, the President had to issue a separate notification on the allocation of work between Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha and his minister of state -- a job otherwise done through an office circular issued by the senior minister himself. Jayalalitha would have none of the vagueness attached to such circulars, and Kumar would not budge -- or, attend office -- until things had been sorted out to Amma's entire satisfaction.
It is this kind of loyalty, bordering on self-effacement, that has been the cause for Jayalalitha smiling benevolently on Kumar while choosing her party's nominees for ministerial berths at the Centre. And it is also this kind of loyalty to the party leadership, starting from the days of AIADMK founder, the later M G Ramachandran, that has kept him low-profile.
"Maybe, but for this, Kumar might have become a Cabinet minister, but maybe that kind of over-reach and ambition might have finished him off in the slippery slope of regional politics," says a one-time acquaintance.
The 56-year-old chartered accountant, whose past-time was writing short stories in Tamil for weekly magazines, turned towards politics when he became associated with MGR in drafting various memoranda against the then Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi and his DMK government. Kumar, whose wife's uncle was MGR's personal auditor, soon got attracted towards the party and its leader -- and became a member, soon enough.
"I had never asked anything of either MGR or Jayalalitha, other than loyally serving the party," recalls Kumar. If his professional contacts with the political elite in Delhi gave him a clear insight into the national political scenario -- and also the way the game was being played -- his nomination for a Rajya Sabha ticket when Jayalalitha was chief minister, took the party by surprise. Many in the party had not even known who Kumar was, but without focussing the limelight on himself, he served the leadership well.
This is not to discount Kumar's ability to move with the cadres and read the voter's pulse as any astute politician with grassroots-level experience would do. "We are winning 30 Lok Sabha seats," he declared to whoever was willing to hear him after the first leg of Jayalalitha's campaign tour in February. He was proved right, and the AIADMK-BJP alliance won 30 seats in all.
That way, Kumar could be said to have been the talisman in Jayalalitha's bandwagon this election-time. He was the new face in the entourage, organising her schedule, and coordinating with the media at all levels. "But it had nothing to do with me," he says in all humility. "The election victory owed entirely to Madam's strategy of forming a formidable alliance, and undertaking a strenuous campaign tour across the state. It's her victory," says Kumar, who started the new year with a new responsibility -- of coordinating the media coverage for the AIADMK's state-level conference at Tirunelveli from January 1 to 3, and made a success of it.
Though Kumar is hesitant to talk about his own inputs in drafting the party's strategy, knowledgeable sources say his days in Delhi in the last two years in particular, have given the AIADMK leadership a new insight into predicting the course of national politics and taking unpredictable moves, like overnight deciding to form an alliance with the BJP, to begin with.
Says a party veteran: "Other than G Swaminathan, who is retiring from the Rajya Sabha in June, Kumar is the only other second-line AIADMK leader with a grip of national politics." According to him, Kumar, bereft of any personal ambition and goals, has more contacts in Delhi than most AIADMK politicians.
For all his suave manners and strategic silence at all times, Kumar is already in the eye of more than one political storm. If some of them have not blown already on his face, or on the face of his party's leadership. it's only because of more pressing matters on hand -- like the forced resignation of party colleague Sedapatti R Muthiah -- and the 'positive image' that the national press has still been projecting about the BJP and Vajpayee.
Apart from the row over the classification of responsibilities between Sinha and Kumar, in which Jayalalitha took a personal interest, Kumar's posting in the banking and revenue portfolio is seen as a "purely political move" by the AIADMK's detractors. According to them, he will be used to settle political scores, and erase some.
"But Kumar is nobody's fool," says the old acquaintance with some idea about the working of the bureaucracy. "Even if Kumar wanted it, the higher bureaucracy will not take orders from him all the time, given the minority-status of the BJP within the ruling coalition. If anything, Jayalalitha's tantrums even before the government was formed, could send out wrong signals to the bureaucracy -- that the days of this ministry could be numbered and they should not be seen as being biased, by a successor regime."
The insinuations against Kumar are these: first, as the man in charge of the Enforcement Directorate and the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, he would cause the pending prosecution against the family of Sasikala Natarajan, the live-in confidante of Jayalalitha, to evaporate into thin air. Two, with banking too under this belt, he would cause embarrassment to some leaders of the Tamil Maanila Congress, whose names reportedly figure in the Rs 13 billion 'Indian Bank scam'.
"Jayalalitha does not need me, or anyone else to defend her," declares Kumar. "Her convictions and self-respect would not permit her to do anything as demeaning as that. She has said that she would face all prosecution in the courts, and she would do precisely that." Adds he in this context: "Even otherwise, those who know the working of the system know fully well that a minister by himself cannot do as he wishes."
As for the Indian Bank scam, AIADMK sources say the media-hype is misplaced. "Those found guilty should be punished, and there cannot be one rule for the AIADMK and another for TMC. Just because some TMC leaders may be found guilty, that should not be seen as a biased action by Kumar, or anyone else."
Otherwise, Kumar is likely to use his good offices to help restore the Tamil Nadu Mercantile Bank to the Nadar community -- an electoral plank of the AIADMK.
A modest man of moderate means, Kumar got into a controversy of another kind when he visited Madras for the first time after assuming office. The local press claimed that he was running riot in the local offices of the Enforcement Directorate and similar establishments coming under his care. And Kumar was quick to retort: "I used the ED guesthouse only to receive well-wishers who had come to greet me in large numbers. My two-bedroom flat could not take the crowd, and anyway it would have been a nuisance to my neighbours."
Some modesty this, some moderation this -- in today's politics!

The past summer has been marked by reports on the way the University of Texas handles tax dollars. The latest comes from Marc Musick, the associate dean for student affairs in UT's College of Liberal Arts. It finds that in the area of efficiency, the university "excels."
One noticeable difference between the new report and others that have sparked controversy recently — notably those of Richard Vedder and Rick O'Donnell, both of whom criticized the university for allegedly low faculty productivity — is its scope. "Most of the talk has really focused on UT," Musick says, "not about how efficient we are compared to other schools."
In preparing his report, which was released today, Musick gathered publicly available data on 120 public institutions of higher education for the sake of comparison with UT. Then he set about to answer a basic question: How much are taxpayers getting for their buck? "We basically calculate how much we get in revenue and, on the basis of how good our graduation rates are and how many faculty we employ, how good are we compared to other schools," he says.
According to Musick, of the universities he looked at, UT is the second most efficient university in the country. (The top spot is claimed by the University of Florida.) Texas A&M University is close on UT's heels in fourth. Texas Tech University, at 24th, also makes a strong showing.
"We're good stewards of the public dollar," Musick concludes. "Are we perfect? Of course not. There's no university that's perfect. Can we get better? Definitely."
One area he says UT needs to focus on is its graduation rates. Its six-year graduation rate ranks 13th, below that of a number of its peers. Its four-year graduation rate, 53 percent, is even worse — "remarkably lower than our peer institutions," Musick says. He thinks UT should emulate Penn State (ultimately left out of the study because of a lack of available financial data), which has equal or lower average SAT scores but higher graduation rates.
Despite his professional affiliation, Musick says he has no interest in making UT look better in his study. "At the end of the day," he says, "I'm a sociologist. I'm a scholar. The main thing I'm interested in is finding the truth."
His report, he insists, would ultimately have been written with or without the ongoing controversy about efficiency and productivity in Texas' public institutions of higher education. In the spring, UT President Bill Powers created a task force on boosting graduation rates at UT and told the members to complete a report by the end of the fall. "The task force needs information," Musick says, "so I think this report was going to get written at some point regardless of what was happening."
The report will be delivered to the graduation rate task force this week, and Musick says he hopes it informs the group's findings. "This is a way to get information to the people who have the ability to change things, to show them how we fit in so they can make good decisions," he says.
Here's Musick's report:
