Nick Gibb's comments pile further pressure on the prime minister over the crumbling concrete scandal.
"You musn't like your nieces and nephews very much," Nick Gibb was told.
More than 100 schools have been ordered to completely or partially close just days before pupils are due to return.
"Why should teachers have any respect for your government?"
The UK Health Security Agency said the measure was “rare”.
Long-serving MP submits letter of no confidence: "To restore trust, we need to change the prime minister."
The daily testing of contacts of those infected with Covid could replace quarantine, Nick Gibb suggests.
One headteacher in Hertfordshire has already been sent a “minded to direct” letter from schools minister Nick Gibb warning emergency powers could be used.
Parents gathering at the school gates pose more of a risk of coronavirus transmission, government scientific adviser stresses.
The list inevitably features education secretary Gavin Williamson as the government faced the music over its exams fiasco.

About the speaker:
I practiced law in France and in the United States for several years. As a litigation lawyer in France, I used to argue cases in court and I did my best to meet my clients needs. Practicing law was not just my job, it was a passion. To me, being a lawyer meant precision in thinking and a desire to help others get out of trouble.
During those legal years, I got more and more interested in Christian Science. At first, I was just impressed by its remarkable healings and resolutions. As I dug deeper, I found a profound spirituality. To me back then, religion and spirituality meant accepting a system of beliefs and the letting go of discernment and critical thinking. But the more I studied and practiced this deep spirituality, the more I found that it was not about believing in anything. It was about exercising critical thinking in understanding spiritual concepts, which in turn could be applied to my life to bring healing…

Author Joe Hill signs at Books-A-Million on Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.
NOS4A2 is a spine-tingling novel of supernatural suspense from master of horror Joe Hill, the New York Times bestselling author of Heart-Shaped Box and Horns.
Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether it’s across Massachusetts or across the country.
Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing – and terrifying – playground of amusements he calls “Christmasland.”
Then, one day, Vic goes looking for trouble—and finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manx’s unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. He’s on the road again and he’s picked up a new passenger: Vic’s own son.
About the Author
Joe Hill is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels Horns and Heart-Shaped Box and the prizewinning story collection 20th Century Ghosts.

Comments Off on MeCAF 2013 Adds More Guests
Brian Wood, Sean Murphy, and Raina Telgemeier have been added to the roster for Maine Comics Arts Festival 2013.
We are pleased to announce three more guests for MeCAF 2013. Look for even more announcements in the coming weeks.
Brian Wood released his first series, Channel Zero, in 1997 to considerable critical acclaim and has continued to produce comics and graphic novels at a brisk pace ever since. Focusing almost entirely on creator-owned works, he’s become one of the most notable creators of the last decade. He’s earned multiple Eisner Award nominations and editions of his work have been published in close to a dozen foreign languages. He is most known for original series such as DMZ, Northlanders, Demo, and Local.
Starting in 2012, Wood kicked off the second major phase of his career with the original series’ The Massive, Anthem, and Mara, as well as Star Wars and Conan the Barbarian for Dark Horse Comics and X-Men for Marvel.
Sean Murphy’s first creator owned book “Off Road” was released by Oni in 2005 and won an American Library Association award. Soon after, Sean signed an exclusive contract with DC Comics and moved to New York. His DC published work is what he’s most known for currently–Hellblazer: City of Demons, Joe the Barbarian, and American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest helped boost his career greatly. His latest book for DC/Vertigo, and creator owned mini series called “Punk Rock Jesus”, in stores now.
Raina Telgemeier grew up in San Francisco, but made her way to New York City when she was 22 to attend the School of Visual Arts as an Illustration and Cartooning student. She received her BFA in 2002, and has worked as a freelance artist ever since. She is the adapter and illustrator of four Baby-sitters Club graphic novels, the co-author of X-Men: Misfits, and the author-illustrator of the bestselling dental memoir graphic novel Smile, which won the Eisner Award for Best Publication for a Teen Audience. Smile was also an ALA Notable Book, a Kirkus Best Book of 2010, and a Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards Honor title. Smile won the Maine Student Book Award in 2011. Her most recent book, Drama, was released in the fall of 2012.

So much for planting trees - saving whales is better for the planet
Because they absorb so much carbon, research suggests each whale is worth more than a small forest
When Hollywood came up with the plot for Star Trek IV – that whales would one day save Earth from apocalyptic weather – it was thought to be one of the most far-fetched storylines of all time.
But three decades later, with the planet under a potential existential threat from climate change, scientists have come to a remarkably similar conclusion. Whales, they believe, could indeed be our greatest hope.
The mammal’s role, however, is slightly different to the 1986 science-fiction film in which a pair of heroic, time-travelling humpbacks returned from extinction to help prevent climatic doom...


What is IoT? In a strange way I feel like that is like asking what is breakfast? Based on your personal preference and locations you might get a lot of different answers. Bacon and grits in some places and a fruit parfait in another. IoT is exactly the same. The root idea is universal but many different camps are vying to define certain pieces of technology as the barriers needed to be deemed IoT. My goal is not to persuade you that one camp has a better idea. I want to offer a generic high level understanding of IoT and emphasize that for those of us involved in Industrial and Building Automation, much of this “New” technology is far closer to our status quo than a new frontier.
Definition by the book:
“The Internet of Things is the network of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity to enable the exchange of data with the manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices based on the infrastructure of International Telecommunication Union’s Global Standards Initiative. The Internet of Things allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure.”
The vagueness of that definition is really the most important part. Note there is no requirement to be living in the cloud. There is no mention of self-acting intelligent devices or BIG Data. Those are all trends but not requirements for IoT. Simply, IoT is the ability to exchange data from things to other things and people. That model easily fits what most of us do daily. A PLC & BAS system fall within the definition of IoT. Many of us have been doing IoT for nearly a decade.
Ignore the Acronyms:
When IoT just isn’t enough, we get specialization in the form of additional acronyms. The IoE (Internet or Everything), the IIoT (the Industrial Internet of Things) and the HIoT (the Human Internet of Things). IoE is IoT. There is no need to further open the realm of things by going to everything. The argument is that everything encompasses people, things, data, and process as seen below.
I don’t care. All are still things to me.
IIoT and HIoT attempt to make a distinction between consumer usage and industrial usage. The differences are very similar to those of Ethernet vs. Industrial Ethernet. The differences being additional needs of determinism and speed. A conveyor line requires a lot more real-time action than a fit bit or your dryer does. I understand the difference but I don’t understand the need to poorly rebrand consumer vs. industrial use cases. It wasn’t my call. Saying IoT is not cliché, people are trying to further define the market, but IoT is a wonderful catch all term.
There is no single technology of IoT:
I recently saw Cisco’s presentation on IoE. It was a pretty cool case study about a large mineral mine. A system was implemented that allowed the mine operators to see where all their equipment, and workers were. In a 50+ mile maze of dark tunnels, a mile below the earth, this is a big deal. Knowing where people are is great for safety and it also allows you to save a huge amount of energy. If no one is working in a tunnel you don’t have to spend energy keeping it properly ventilated. The mine was safer and saving boat loads of money.
The presenter closed the presentation saying this would not be possible with out the IoE technology created by Cisco’s Wireless technology. It’s true but I thought they took some liberties in the amount of credit they deserved.
The problem is claiming the “plumbing” of Ethernet alone created IoT is ludacris. Cisco’s technology is fantastic but all they did was create a wireless Ethernet network. To get the full benefit described, advanced devices, PLC’s and communication protocols were used. As anyone in automation can attest simply getting the devices plugged into an Ethernet network is typically the starting point of the real application work. A plumber would not claim to be a home builder in the same light I’d argue Cisco should not claim to be the IoT provider. They provide an important component, but are not the whole solution.
Communication Protocols and IoT:
Which Ethernet based Industrial and Building Automation protocols are IoT? All of them! Feel free to contact the trade association attached to a protocol to hear why theirs is better. The truth is everything from the lowly Modbus TCP/IP up to EtherNet/IP, Profinet, BACnet/IP and OPC UA can be utilized to create IoT.
I don’t hear many customers wondering what the cloud is anymore. The idea of processing and storing data on a remote server is not a new idea. The cloud isn’t going to replace control hardware but it can offer a very interesting value proposition when it comes to analyzing and storing data. It’s easily accessible and has nearly infinitely expandable data storage with the potential for advanced diagnostics.
Many people are still reluctant to pay a monthly fee for access to their own data, but I think that is a fading feeling for all but the most sensitive data applications. When you do the rent vs. buy analysis the costs savings in a service based model are becoming substantial.
“Big data is high volume, high velocity, and/or high variety information assets that require new forms of processing to enable enhanced decision making, insight discovery and process optimization.” The data is also delivered at a rate that inhibits commonly used software tools to capture and keep up. When we look at the big 3 V’s it’s likely that most of the applications we deal with don’t neatly fall into the category of big data. Frankly 90% of automation applications move relatively slowly, have hundreds to thousands of points of data, not millions, and are fixed applications. All but some advanced process automation, massive commercial campuses and automotive assembly lines likely fall short of covering the big 3 requirements of Big Data.
That does not however mean we will not start to see some of the benefits of the Big data market. You now have systems that can literally support a nearly infinite amount of sensors. Big companies on big projects will start using a lot more sensors. The variety of low cost sensors will continue to increase and many sensing devices we currently pay a premium for will fall to commodity status.
The analytics these large applications use in real time can also be applied to your historic data. This should likely reveal correlations in data the average user would never notice. This is exciting for preventative maintenance.
This is without question a topic that could be better addressed over an entire book. The big issue at ten thousand feet is that most application layer communication protocols we are familiar with have been designed to live in a closed world network model. You secure the network not the devices. Do you know anyone with encryption or validation between a device and their PLC? Most of the leading protocols have security specs in place or in the works but there are few if any devices utilizing the security in the field. The cost of adding the additional security to the end devices will be weighed against the benefit of having the device on an accessible network. Do you really need to interrogate a sensor directly if it’s data is available in a controller? Probably not but an advanced power meter might be a different story.
If I had to bet, I believe the majority of the security advances in our industry will come from either switches or services in the next 5-10 years. Device manufactures move too slowly to effectively embed security technology in devices. There are simply too many devices out there. Yet a company controlling the traffic, be that natively in a switch or via a service model can easily implement many layers of security to otherwise insecure devices. Does that model solve all security problems, no. It does however solve many of the issues facing our industry and does so in in a cost effective way. Which should be a great stepping stone.
I have never viewed IoT as new. Heck it’s a term coined in 1999. The advances in technology over the last few years have started to make the idea a reality. It won’t alter the foundation of what we do in automation but it will open the door to many cool new opportunities. Regardless of the acronym they use I think it’s safe to say we will be automating applications we never dreamed of in the near future.

Does anyone else love berries?! Here are some fun facts about our favorite farmers market berries.
- On average, strawberries have 200 seeds.
- Although they are called strawBERRY, in the botanical sense, strawberries aren’t technically classified as berries, but as aggregate accessory fruits.
- Strawberry plants are perennial, so after they are planted once they will come back each year.
- Luckily for us, they are among the first fruits to ripen in the spring!
- Strawberries are the state fruits of Delaware, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.
- Like strawberries, raspberries are botanically classified not as berries, but as aggregate fruits. This is because of the many drupelets that form around the stem of the fruit, which stays on the plant when picked, leaving the hole in the middle of the fruit.
- It is said that each individual raspberry is made up of around 100 drupelets.
- Blackberry season typically peaks in July and August.
- Blackberries are the state fruits of Alabama and Kentucky.
- Blackberries are also called brambleberries because they grow on a thorny shrub called a bramble.
- Those who study blackberries are known as batologists, as the scientific study of brambles is known as batology.

“The façade is the magnificent work of Ferdinand Fuga (1741), and faces east, opening in a portico of five arcades on the lower story and three arches in the upper loggia, which covers the thirteenth-century mosaics of the previous façade.
Like precious gems set into the façade, the mosaics illustrate the origin of the Basilica. In the first scene, the Blessed Virgin appears to Pope Liberius and the Roman Patrician John in the dream that will inspire the location of the new basilica. An exceptional event would confirm the divine will – on August 5, 358, a snowfall covered the Esquiline Hill and in this snow, the Pope traced the perimeter of the future basilica.
The foundation stone for this façade was laid on March 4, 1741 by Pope Benedict XIV. Many eighteenth-century sculptors contributed to this remarkable project. The works both within and outside of the Basilica were completed just in time for the Jubilee Year 1750.
Situated on the summit of the Esquiline Hill, St. Mary Major is the only patriarchal basilica of the four in Rome to have retained its paleo-Christian structures.
Tradition has it that the Virgin Mary herself inspired the choice of the Esquiline Hill for the church’s construction. Appearing in a dream to both the Patrician John and Pope Liberius, she asked that a church be built in her honor on a site she would miraculously indicate.
The present Basilica dates back to the fifth century AD. Its construction was tied to the Council of Ephesus of 431 AD, which proclaimed Mary Theotokos, Mother of God. Sixtus III commissioned and financed the project as Bishop of Rome. Crossing the threshold, one is overwhelmed by the vision of vast space, splendid marbles, and marvelous decoration. The monumental effect is due to the structure of the basilica and the harmony that reigns among the principal architectural elements. Constructed according to Vitruvius’ canon of rhythmic elegance, the basilica is divided into a nave and two side aisles by two rows of precious columns. Above these columns runs the skillfully wrought entablature, interrupted at the transept by the grand arches erected for the building of the Sistine and Pauline chapels. The area between the columns and the ceiling was once punctuated by large windows, half of which still remain, while the other half have been covered over by a wall. Over the walled windows, today one can admire frescos showing stories from the life of the Virgin.
In the crypt under the high altar lies the celebrated relic known as the Holy Crib. A statue of Pope Pius IX kneeling before the ancient wooden pieces of the manger serves as an example to the faithful who come to see the first humble crib of the Savior. Pius IX’s devotion to the Holy Crib led him to commission the crypt chapel, and his coat of arms is visible above the altar. The precious crystal urn trimmed in silver, through which the faithful can venerate the relic, was designed by Giuseppe Valadier.”–From Santa Maria Maggiore

The state's health commissioner is blasting the Obama administration's argument that it can't renew a joint state-federal health program because Republican lawmakers have banned Planned Parenthood from participating in it.
In an uncharacteristically angry letter sent to Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Joe Straus, Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner Tom Suehs argues that if the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) won't let Texas exclude Planned Parenthood from the Women's Health Program, "then no state can ever confidently apply policies and requirements that advance important and legitimate state interests to regulate providers' participation in Medicaid."
Two of the Legislature's top public health leaders are defending Republican lawmakers’ pledge to end the entire Women's Health Program rather than allow Planned Parenthood to participate. The joint state-federal reproductive health program provides contraception and cancer screenings — but not abortions — to 130,000 poor Texans, many of them at Planned Parenthood clinics.
"I guess we all need to see what it looks like when we don’t have it, and then we may need to regroup at that point," said state Rep. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, the chairwoman of the House Public Health Committee. "If we lose the Women’s Health Program, obviously, it’s got to be the top of our list in 2013 to look at and open up the conversation again and move forward because it is a safety net for so many women."
Scientists can spend years working on problems that at first may seem esoteric and rather pointless. For example, there's a scientist in Arizona who's trying to find a way to measure the age of wild mosquitoes.
As weird as that sounds, the work is important for what it will tell scientists about the natural history of mosquitoes. It also could have major implications for human health.
A high-ranking official at the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation has resigned amid fallout from the charity's move, since reversed, to halt funding for breast cancer screening by Planned Parenthood.
Karen Handel, a former Republican candidate for governor in Georgia, resigned her job, effective immediately, as senior vice president for public policy. The Associated Press first reported the move. The Komen foundation confirmed the report in an email to Shots.
After days of controversy, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation has said it will continue funding for Planned Parenthood.
Earlier this week, the foundation moved to discontinue funding of breast cancer screening by Planned Parenthood. The Associated Press reported the change came because of a new Komen policy forbidding grants to organizations under official investigation.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure's decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood — which has performed breast cancer screenings and mammograms with Komen grants for the last five years — is hitting home for clinics in Dallas, Austin and Waco.
Planned Parenthood of the Texas Capital Region reports that its six-year partnership with Dallas-based Komen has performed 720 clinical breast exams and risk assessments for poor women under the age of 40. Over the last three years, the North Texas Planned Parenthood chapter in Dallas has used Komen dollars to provide about 580 mammograms to poor women. And in Waco, Planned Parenthood of Central Texas has relied heavily on Komen funds to screen, diagnose and treat women across 10 counties. In 2010, the federal Breast and Cervical Cancer Services program, in conjunction with Komen funding, provided 609 Central Texas women with mammograms, 292 with diagnostic services and 329 with cervical cancer screenings. Twenty-four Medicaid-eligible women with breast or cervical cancer received treatment.
The Dallas-based breast cancer prevention group Susan G. Komen for the Cure has halted its financial support of Planned Parenthood, yet another blow to the family planning organization that provides abortions in some of its clinics.
Planned Parenthood alleges that Komen — which was founded in 1982 by Nancy Goodman Brinker, a former U.S. Ambassador to Hungary under George W. Bush, to honor her deceased sister — succumbed to rising political pressure.
"Our greatest desire is for Komen to reconsider this policy and recommit to the partnership on which so many women count," Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement posted on the organization's website.
Under a federal determination released today, insurers in Texas will have to abide by spending rules set forth in President Obama’s signature health care reform package.
One of the provisions in the Affordable Care Act stipulates that insurers must spend 80% of customers’ premium dollars on medical care, and not overhead costs. Any overhead spending over 20%, and insurance companies would be required to issue rebates to their customers.
To what does Atlantic Cities attribute the Loos’ success? A minimal, “defense-first design” that puts a spigot for washing up outside; sturdy, reinforced doors; and bars at the top and bottom of the structure.
A ruling in a New York federal court is requiring the Social Security Administration to restore benefits to eligible people who may have a warrant out for their arrest.
According to the National Senior Citizens Law Center, an advocacy group for low-income seniors, as many as 100,000 people could benefit from the ruling in Clark v. Astrue that was issued earlier this month. The government had denied Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Supplemental Security Disability Income (SSDI) benefits to people with outstanding warrants for alleged parole or probation violations.
Austin Community College students and staff who make a New Year’s resolution to stop smoking will have an added incentive when they head back to school: ACC’s smoke-free policy takes effect on January 2.
The policy was adopted by the ACC board in October and bans smoking anywhere on college grounds or inside ACC-owned vehicles. Signs reminding people about the new policy will be set up over the winter break.
"Recently we looked at our therapy rates and found out that in Texas, for some reason, we’re paying substantially higher than other states.”
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy services would all be affected, including both out-patient and in-home care. Mary Hennigan with the Texas Occupational Therapy Association says it should come as no surprise that those types of treatment are expensive.
Tomorrow is World AIDS Day. Since 1988, December 1st has been observed around the globe as a day to draw attention to the continuing battle against HIV and AIDS, as well as to those who've lost that battle.
According to Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services, about 200 people contract HIV in Central Texas each year. There are a handful of events around Austin Thursday, giving people a chance to learn about the struggles of living with HIV and also to honor those who have died of AIDS.
The University of Texas is committing $75 million to kick start the new Institute for Applied Cancer Science, which will focus on speeding up the discovery and delivery of effective cancer drugs at a time when pharmaceutical companies have scaled back research and development.
Gov. Rick Perry, taking a break from his busy pursuit of the GOP presidential nomination, was on hand for the announcement at the south campus of M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, site of the new facility, in Houston on Monday. Perry said the institute would help Texas cement its position as a leader in cancer research and scientific innovation.
“I believe this state represents a unique crossroads, a place where academic research can come together with a very vibrant private sector to tap into this steadily growing biosciences sector. We’re just scratching the surface of its potential,” Perry said. “We’re creating a culture that will help ensure that great ideas that are born in Texas will stay in Texas, from the laboratory to the marketplace, and then we will export them around the world.”
The Supreme Court has added a case challenging the constitutionality of the provision of last year's health overhaul requiring nearly every American to have health insurance beginning in the year 2014 to the list of cases it will hear this term.
This morning on KUT, we reported on the challenges people with autism face when trying to find gainful employment. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports increases in the prevalence of autism. Meanwhile, the state legislature slashed spending that would help people afflicted by the disorder.
Five obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) groups in the greater Austin-area hope to reduce costs and improve their quality of care by merging into a single network called Central Texas OB/GYN Associates or CTOA for short.
Medicare payments to doctors are scheduled to be slashed by almost 30 percent in January unless Congress does something to stop that from happening. A new poll of Texas doctors shows that half of them would stop taking Medicare patients if the cuts take effect.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance to about 47 million people over the age of 65. It also costs taxpayers $452 billion a year.
“Our Medicare patients are like family to us, but most doctors in Texas run small businesses,” former Texas Medical Association (TMA) president Sue Bailey told KUT News. “We have employees to pay. We have rents and utilities to pay just like any small business.”
A disease transmitted by blood sucking parasites may be more common in Texas than scientists previously thought. New research released by the College of Natural Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin suggests suggest South Texas in particular is an area of high risk for Chagas infection.
The tropical parasite triatomine is known commonly as the "kissing bug" because it loves biting faces. Here’s a of one of the bugs to give a sense of scale.
Texas joined 25 other states today in asking the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that the the health care overhaul championed by President Obama is unconstitutional. The U.S. Department of Justice filed its own appeal of a lower court ruling, arguing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act should stand as is. The showdown could provide an up-or-down vote on the law in the middle of the 2012 campaign season.
The filling from the 26 states targets three core provisions of the act:
More than two out of five children with cancer in Texas rely on Medicaid for health care, according to an analysis of Medicaid in Texas by Families USA, a non-profit organization that advocates for affordable health care. The report comes as a showdown looms in Washington over how to manage costs of the chronically underfunded program.
Services for sexual assault victims are significantly lacking in Texas, according to a new survey out of the UT-Austin.
The study said, for example, that emergency room wait times for sex assault victims are so long that they often leave before receiving treatment and reporting the assault.

The EPA closely edits officers’ denial data – is that clear?
Reposted from Government Accountability & Oversight
The Biden Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has released selected, often heavily edited, conflict and denial records for Assistant Assistant Administrator of the Main Board and Assistant Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation (ie, “Climate”), Joe Goffman.
The denial statement is noteworthy for what it does and doesn’t. As for the editorial offices, they seem clumsy given the EPO practice to date. The total refusal to approve draft rejection proposals appears to be an undue reluctance to “go back and forth” that is known to be subject to approval.
Readers may recall the Energy Policy Advocate in State of New York et al., V EPA’s amicus briefing, which disclosed Goffman’s role in advising progressive attorneys general on certain regulatory matters currently before the USEPA and under Goffman’s current mandate. For example, the scheme of using the “NAAQS” regime to sneak in on what the Wall Street Journal called “Biden’s“ back door ”climate plan.
There is no mention of such work or withdrawal in the USEPA’s publication … including the denial statement (it appears that knowing the contents of the drafts will require litigation). As such, these records sharpen the question – increasingly appropriate to Biden’s “all-star” climate team – what Goffman disclosed to his ethics officer about his previous work and when he disclosed it.
The publication is timely, however incomplete it may be. Appointed persons can remain in a “temporary” role for a limited number of days. There is Scuttlebutt that the Biden White House intends to play off the law and calendar to keep Goffman in place for as long as possible as “Acting” AA in order to delay or even avoid him from scrutinizing / holding the verification process accountable .
The “back door climate plan” and past consultations with USEPA-hostile corporations in litigation related to matters in Goffman’s portfolio could be two reasons.
In an interview with Politico last week – he’s been moving these days (and ducking the same question as well as at least one question about the NAAQS system) – Goffman dodged a question of whether he wanted a change in his status as just one of the. awaits two verifiable USEPA agents on whom the white man has yet to submit paperwork.
Would you like to be nominated as Deputy Administrator for Air and Radiation?
I haven’t thought about that in a long time. I am very satisfied with what I do every day now.
The resignation letter and what it contains – and what it does not contain – seems likely to be a problem should the Biden administration attempt to formalize Mr. Goffman’s role and make him accountable. Given the increasing reluctance to facilitate the monitoring and investigation of these activities by Congress, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works is likely to plan to schedule a hearing on its own.

Credit Repair Law
There’s no law in the United States against having bad credit but it sure can make life difficult. And expensive. Sometimes we develop a bad credit rating on our own but sometimes our credit files contain erroneous information. This situation is especially distressing when the error suggests bad behavior on the part of a conscientious consumer.
Fortunately, there is a federal credit repair law that requires settlement of disputes between consumers and the three largest consumer credit reporting agencies operating in the country. The Fair Credit Reporting Act, often seen as FCRA, became law in 1970 and falls under the jurisdiction of the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The FCRA regulates the nature of the information a credit reporting agency can distribute and to whom it can be released. Consumer credit information cannot be passed along or sold to anyone who does not have a vested interest in the information, such as bankers, mortgage companies, auto finance companies, credit card companies, and the like. No individual consumer information can be distributed without a valid reason for doing so. The most common reason for sharing a consumer’s credit report is because the consumer has applied for a loan, line of credit, or a job.
FCRA regulations require all information on a consumer to be complete, accurate, and up to date. Any disputes between the consumer and the reporting agency must be addressed promptly and follow procedures sanctioned by the FCRA.
Any time a consumer’s application for credit is denied, the credit reporting agency that generated the negative report must notify the consumer in writing within 30 days of the denial. This notification must describe the reason(s) for the application’s denial and must outline steps the consumer can take to research or rectify any discrepancies or negative data.
A 2003 amendment to FCRA calls upon the three major credit reporting agencies - Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion - to provide each American consumer with a free updated copy of their credit report each year. These reports aren’t automatically disbursed but every consumer can ask for his or hers once every 12 months. Telephone, mail, and online requests are all honored. This amendment is known as the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA).
This free, annual review of one’s credit status is perhaps the most helpful tool provided in this credit repair law. It provides a way every American consumer can keep his or her credit report accurate and up to date. Doing so helps ensure the lowest interest rates, smallest deposits, and a higher likelihood that applications will be approved instead of denied.

Hindi films on Diaspora Indians have been produced for as long as one can remember. These films stereotype the NRIs as those who live in foreign countries but "remain true" to their Indian roots and reinforce their culture--even the problematic bits. The films focus on how Indians have been making the country proud all over the world as well as show them embracing their culture has impacted the people all around the world. Most of the characters display a sense of patriotism which borders on jingoism but some just strike the right chords.
The sense of belongingness, and our welcoming nature help us gel with people from different cultures worldwide. Being an Indian is a matter of immense pride for we have created a name for ourselves among the most powerful countries in the world amassing excellence in various sectors. Hindi films on diaspora Indians have represented how non-resident Indians associate with their homeland. Be it Delhi-6's Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan), a second-generation diaspora revisiting his ancestral home or The Namesake's Ashima (Tabu) trying to retain what little of the Indian culture she can among her kids when they move to America.

Since 1986, the Vermont Foodbank has provided a statewide network of food shelves, meal sites, shelters, senior centers and after-school programs with food and resources to ensure no one in Vermont goes hungry.
In Rutland City alone, the poverty rate is 16%, 5% higher than Vermont as a whole. One in five Rutland County children are food insecure. And while the Rutland region is served by the strong work of 30 Foodbank network partner food shelves and meal sites, high demand for charitable food can leave these agencies with empty shelves.
Sadly, the need continues to rise, and to meet the need the Foodbank and our network must do more. That is why the Vermont Foodbank has been working with the Rutland community to find the right space to establish a local distribution center that will provide our partners better access to fresh produce and other provisions to better serve our hungry neighbors.
On Monday, December 15th, the Vermont Foodbank held its first event at its new Park Street location in Rutland. Pack to Give Back brought together nearly 40 business leaders, school children, elected officials, and concerned citizens to pack holiday food boxes for 500 Rutland area residents.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to be expanding into Rutland,” said John Sayles, CEO of the Vermont Foodbank. “The need in Rutland is great and the Foodbank is here to learn and work with our partners and the community to help where we can.”
“Vermont Country Store has been a longtime supporter of the Foodbank and we are excited to work more closely with the organization as they expand services within the Rutland community,” said Anne Warrell, Community Relations and Communications Manager at Vermont Country Store.
Boxes were filled with holiday meal staples, including sweet potatoes courtesy of RAFFL—the Rutland Area Food and Farm Link.
“RAFFL is very happy to participate in the Pack to Give Back event,” said Tara Kelly, Executive Director of the Rutland Area Farm and Food Link. “We see this as a perfect opportunity to distribute the 2,000 pounds of sweet potatoes that Laughing Child Farm in Pawlet donated to our Glean Team program. We are happy to support this special effort to get high quality foods to people in need this season.”
Thanks to the work of eight network partners in the region, boxes were distributed to area families in need.
The Foodbank is committed to providing nutritious and fresh foods to our neighbors in need, and to supporting the work of solving hunger. Our work would not be possible without your support. Please consider making a gift to the Vermont Foodbank today.

A student at the University of Illinois is alleged to have given birth in a school bathroom and kept the body of her baby boy in her backpack throughout the school day.
An investigation was launched by police at 5pm on March 13 after students and staff reported that a girl had been in a bathroom on campus for “several hours”.
The student in question, however, told police at the time that she had a stomach bug and did not require assistance.
Later the same evening, police received another tip-off from “a person familiar with the situation”, according to a press release, and returned to the girl’s dormitory.
There, they discovered the body of a newborn in her school backpack.
Watch the Fox News report on the case:
Officers also returned to the bathroom in question and found evidence that a baby had been born there earlier that day.
When interrogated by police, the student admitted to giving birth on campus.
An investigation into the baby’s death is ongoing. Decisions relating to criminal charges will be made following an autopsy.
“We are still trying to figure out the entire story of what went on, how she eventually ended up at the police department with the baby in her backpack; that’s something we haven’t figured out yet,” a Police Spokesperson from the University of Illinois told press.
“And I’d really caution people on making assumptions.”
The story is just one of a growing number of cases in which it is unclear to police whether a newborn child was stillborn or purposely killed.

Tiffany Mensah is shining a light; bringing the forgotten to mind.
Mensah has written and released her first book titled, Forgotten: Living in the Shadows of Domestic Violence.
Mensah’s book gives readers a firsthand account of what it’s like to be ‘that child’, in the middle of chaos going through unsettling emotions and feeling forgotten and cast aside.
We see the abuse, hear the cries and the screams. We’re on the run with the victim. We watch as they are dealt with bad cards in life. Over looked and abandoned to fend for their emotional needs, it gets worse as their silence causes them to be mislabeled. They cry themselves to sleep just to have nightmares. And are never free from their flashbacks.
The book also talks about how adults even self-medicate to ease the pains of their troubled past.
Carrying emotional burdens alongside victims or as victims themselves, it seems these children are often forgotten. The only evidence of their painful existence carved on walls of childhood homes and places they wished to exchange for homes but never found peace at.
Being one of the victims herself, she brings to life a real and raw perspective of the effects of growing up in a violent home. And although successful, she still felt her childhood trauma was bleeding into her promising future as she failed to suppress the memories and deal with the past.
Now she gives hope, and the knowledge that it is possible to live a life free from what you witnessed. But she doesn’t leave us on a sad note as she portrays a way to finding the strength that leads to healing and overcoming pain. She misses no word in letting the reader know that you are more than the trauma you witnessed.
Mensah is a woman of faith, author, advocate, marketing maven, and entrepreneur. With ten-plus years in Corporate America, she currently works as a marketing project manager while owning and operating Mensah & Co., a creative consulting agency.
Her latest book is not the only light she is shedding on domestic violence. She is most proud of the work she’s done personally and spiritually to address the childhood trauma and PTSD she experienced while growing up in a home plagued by domestic violence.
This work has fueled her to launch D.O.V.E.S. (Daily Overcoming Violence & Embracing Safety) Network. She is dedicated to the prevention of domestic violence and childhood domestic violence exposure through awareness and outreach programs.

Operating income for Tyson's chicken segment was down for the second quarter of 2011 when compared to 2010, but up for the first six months of 2011.
Tyson Foods Inc. reported a net income of $159 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $457 million for the first six months, holding steady for the quarter and gaining $138 million for the year so far compared to 2010 numbers.
Chicken operating income was down for the second quarter compared to 2010 ($37 million compared to $114 million) but up for the first six months ($218 million compared to $192 million). Pork showed the greatest growth over 2010, with an operating income of $146 million for the second quarter of 2011 (compared to $69 million for 2010) and $323 million for the first six months (compared to $131 million).
Sales were up for both chicken and pork over 2010 numbers. "Overall, it was a solid quarter and I'm pleased with the results," said Donnie Smith, Tyson Foods' president and CEO. "We produced record sales for the second quarter on substantially higher sales prices in addition to increased volume. All segments except chicken were within or above their normalized operating margin ranges. While chicken was well below its normalized range, it was profitable, and we believe it will continue to be profitable in the third and fourth quarters."
In spite of high feed prices, Tyson said it expects its chicken segment to remain profitable for the rest of 2011. "A significant portion of our increased capital expenditures focus on production and labor efficiencies, yield improvements and sales mix flexibility," said Smith. "These improvements, which began in late fiscal 2010 and are scheduled to continue throughout fiscal 2011, are expected to result in $200 million of operational improvements in fiscal 2011."
The company's pork segment is expected to remain above margins, but will not be as profitable in the second half of 2011 as it was in the first half. "We expect hog supplies in fiscal 2011 to be comparable to fiscal 2010 and to be adequate in the regions in which we operate," said Smith. "We expect pork exports to remain strong in fiscal 2011."

Your 'Aha' weight-loss moments
FINISH CHELSEA'S RUN=WHOLE LOTTA FUN!
- nsaidi, CNN iReport producer
The first grass-roots Finish Chelsea's Run took place on the morning of March 20, 2010, when more than 3,500 community members joined together to run and walk in solidarity with, & in honor of Chelsea.
Kelly & Brent King, Chelsea's parents, decided to make it an official, annual tradition in San Diego hosted by the Chelsea’s Light Foundation--the organization they founded to make positive changes for children. Last year, I was there, when on March 5, 2011, more than 5,400 people participated in the inaugural Finish Chelsea’s Run 5K Run/Walk in Balboa Park.
This family-friendly event is now the primary fundraiser for Chelsea’s Light Foundation Sunflower Scholarship Fund, providing scholarships for San Diego County college-bound teens who have embraced characteristics that embodied Chelsea’s academic prowess & service-oriented ethic. The 2011 run/walk raised $110,000 providing ten Sunflower Scholarships. Today, the 2nd Annual Memorial race took place on a lovely, warm day. An estimated 6,000 participants gathered at the starting line at 7:30 a.m. and took off on a scenic 5K run through Balboa Park. Portions of busy, scenic Interstate 163 were closed so the runners could make the loop around through the beautifully popular tourist attraction.
The run was also an environmentally-friendly event. There were volunteers on "green patrol," who kept the course clean, made sure recyclables were being saved, & manned the water bottle re-filling area. New this year: after the “Finish Chelsea’s Run” race, entrants’ number bibs can be taken home & planted to grow wildflowers. The ecologically-friendly bibs are just one way the King family is keeping alive Chelsea’s devotion to the environment.
The run is about 3.1 miles long. The family-friendly course gives participants the option of doing the 5K "JUST FOR FUN" or "TIMED." If you select "TIMED" you receive a chip providing an official race time. If you're not interested in receiving an official time, then "JUST FOR FUN" is the way to go. The breadth and diversity of contestants this year was thrilling to witness. As someone whose best racing days are behind them, all I could do is volunteer to hold race signs along the course.
What really caught my eye: a blind woman running the course with her white cane! She hugged the curb area-waving her cane in front of her! Later on I introduced myself to Aurora Ortiz, who is legally blind and disabled. I commended her great race time of 46 minutes and she tearfully confided she runs to honor her sister, who was kidnapped & raped in their native Puerto Rico.
Other highlights of Finish Chelsea's Run: paint free flowerpots and have your photo taken in front of a wall of painted sunflowers. Lots of interactive displays, free healthy food and drink samples, and live music from The Makepeace Brothers from Venice Beach.
“Last year, the race gave me so much hope,” Chelsea’s father, Brent King, told the San Diego Union/Tribune newspaper. “It gave me hope for an engaged community. It gave me hope for the kids that are going
college. It’s a powerful experience being here. I get to focus on all of the positives that we have witnessed over the last few years.”
This day was a glorious tribute to the legacy of a girl whose spirit was as buoyant as the sunflowers that she loved so much.


The London Olympics are showing how years upon years of disciplined practice by serious athletes can result in incredible performances, worldwide acclaim, and a possible gold medal.
The rest of us, sitting at home watching from our couches? We may not have that fame and fortune, or memories of getting up at 4 a.m. to walk a balance beam with a crabby Romanian coach, but often we can look back on our own memories of sports or games that we played as kids.
So as a tribute to all the non-Olympians out there, who deserve their own gold medals in card playing, kickball or jump rope, here are some of our memories. Could you have medaled in any of these sports?
Boston had its Green Monster, but during the summer of 1976, we kids of North Owasso Boulevard in Shoreview, Minn. had an equally threatening outfield: Lake Wabasso. Every night that summer of America’s Bicentennial we played kickball in my cousins’ yard. If you could only manage to thump the red dimpled ball past the outfielders, you were pretty much golden. It was going to roll into the cattails and marshy lake edge and your outfielder was going to have to wade into and pick their way through the shallows to retrieve the ball, all the while you zoomed around the bases like our Olympic hero of that summer, Bruce Jenner. Kickball was democratic –- we girls had as good a shot as our big brothers and neighbors to nail a solid kick or catch a popped-up ball — and it was simple, everyone knew the rules. In those pre-Internet distraction days, I sank into the game, never even looking up until the sun went down or my dad showed up to walk me back across the busy street to our house. By the next summer, we had moved, and my kickball days were over. But only last month, on a walk by my Seattle home, I stumbled upon an adult kickball league that eagerly announced they’re looking for more players. But there’s no lake in their outfield, so my strategy would have to change dramatically. –Gael Fashingbauer Cooper
I must have been about 7 years old when I first realized that tetherball might just be the perfect summer activity. For a not-so-athletically inclined kid who wasn’t about to play kickball in the unrelenting Florida heat or climb up on branding-iron-hot monkey bars, this simple ball-tied-to-a-pole game -- ideally situated beneath a shady, live oak canopy -- held plenty of appeal. The rules were simple enough: While holding an ice-cold drink in one hand, slap the ball toward your opponent. If you’re lucky, the orb will either bean the other player, or it’ll sail right past and swoop around the pole. If you’re not so lucky, your opponent will land one of those sweet shots instead. Also, you should both shout something ridiculous at each other with every turn. (My pal and I favored the classic “Looney Tunes” battle cries of “Duck season!” vs. “Rabbit season!” for no particular reason.) I’ve since learned those aren’t the real rules for tetherball, but they’re the ones I still follow today. But take heed! One epic face off in the ‘90s left my BFF with a torn rotator cuff. Fortunately, my own injuries were limited to the tetherball standards: a beet-red hand, a sore throat and a spilled drink. --Ree Hines
While most of my time was otherwise devoted to such highbrow pursuits as comic-book-collecting, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and the finer points of the KISS discography, my summers in the late 1970s as a tween were largely ruled by one mighty force: the ocean. Flanked by a gaggle of friends out in Quogue, Long Island from early June to late August, I spent hours goofing around in the sprawling surf of the Atlantic Ocean, getting mercilessly tumbled and forever hoping for that perfect wave that would give me the ride of my short, frivolous life. Regardless of red flags, low temperatures, jellyfish, the threat of rip currents or even the ominous strains of the theme from “Jaws,” we’d happily go charging into the water every day, the rougher the surf the better. Even after a few terrifying waves gave me a couple of vigorous saltwater beat-downs, it seemed I’d never learn my lesson. Now, decades later, I stand on the very same shoreline and watch as my own children giddily start to explore the timeless joys of the ocean, quietly dreading the day they’ll discover their own love for the cresting wave and hoping they’ll be more responsible than their old man. --Alex Smith
As the 1980 reigning Spit Champeen of Bar-T-Ranch camp in Gaithersburg, Md., I want to trumpet the endless summer pleasures of … card-playing. Sure, camp was great: We had horseback riding, swimming twice a day, Grape Nehi in bottles, Nuke-Em volleyball, Go-Karts. But between waiting for activities to begin and just general lazy free time, we dealt in cards. Crazy 8s, Slap Jack, War, Go Fish (if extremely bored), Pig, and the one game I simply could not be beat at: Spit. (Others of you may know it as Speed, but let’s face it – kids prefer something gross-sounding.) It’s a fast-moving game, a round always drawing a crowd. And as an uncoordinated 10-year-old, I relished the idea of being No. 1 at something. Except: I wasn’t, not always – my friend Beth Burns and I would face off regularly at Spit, and almost like clockwork, trade off the winner’s spot. So it also taught me to share, because Beth was awesome. Just like Spit. Lay your cards down now! --Randee Dawn
Our suburban Cleveland backyard was home to hundreds of Wiffle ball games in the 1970s. The rules were detailed and arcane, and arguments over close plays could be heard clearly three houses away. Everyone had to turn around to hit lefthanded, supposedly as a handicap, since the park favored right-handed hitters. But the genius of the game was one simple rule: Hit it into the hedges, you're out. Over the hedges, and it's a home run. In high summer, the bushy hedges soared over 10 feet high and the giant maple trees drooped down, heavy with leaves, leaving only a small gap to shoot for in center field. But the thrill of lining one out on a warm summer afternoon, driving in three invisible runners to beat your brother -- that is a summer memory that is hard to top. --Martin Wolk
When I was a kid, summers were a time of unimaginable freedom. No school. No TV limits. No organized activities. Under the clear blue California sky, with nothing to limit me but my own imagination, I was free to roam the neighborhood on my pink Huffy bike. I filled my days riding to friends’ homes, to the park, and when I was a little older, to the local 7-Eleven or Thrifty Drug Store for ice cream. I perfected tricks such as “no hands” riding and jumping off curbs. I would ride out past the abandoned golf course and down the unfinished street with the S-shaped sidewalk. The world was mine to explore. Eventually I would return home for dinner, but afterwards I would head out again into the late summer evening, with a promise to be home before the streetlights came on. --Joy Jernigan

Several years ago, a friend came to Susan B. Sorenson asking for advice. “Her daughter had been sexually assaulted while studying abroad,” recalls Sorenson, who recently stepped down as the long-time director of Penn’s Ortner Center on Violence & Abuse.
Despite the prevalence of campus sexual assault, which happens to one in four female undergraduates, according to the Association of American Universities, Sorenson’s search for resources to share came up empty; very little existed to guide parents. Sorenson, who has spent decades studying sexual assault and violence against women, decided to undertake the task herself. The result, “After campus sexual assault: A guide for parents,” was published in June.
For the book, she met with students from four universities. “I listened to several dozen students who had been sexually assaulted, some quite recently, some a couple years before,” she says. “I met with parents of these students as well as parents of other students who had been sexually assaulted but who hadn’t spoken with me, and I met with campus staff members.”
Unquestionably, she says, students who are sexually assaulted need this support and care. “Parents need help, too,” she says, “and they often struggle alone.” To that end, Sorenson offers four of the lessons she gleaned for parents of college-age students who have been sexually assaulted.
A wide range of behaviors fall under the umbrella of “sexual misconduct”
And in reality, the definition almost doesn’t matter, Sorenson says. “If a child calls saying that she’s been sexually assaulted—and I will use a gendered term here because girls are statistically more likely than boys to be sexually assaulted at colleges and universities—parents should accept that at face value. That’s reality to their child so they need to take that seriously, find out how she’s doing, and respond. That’s an example of loving parenting.”
When parents receive this information matters
“If they’re told shortly after the misconduct happens, the daughter probably is in crisis mode,” Sorenson says. That requires a certain type of care from parents, different from the type needed by someone who tells them later, after she’s managed the situation on her own for a time.
Some victims choose never to disclose sexual assault. “Sometimes parents don’t want to know,” says Sorenson. “After knowing them for 18 or more years, the student has a pretty good idea what category her parents fall into.”
Cultural considerations matter
In some cultures, talking about sex is taboo, as are drinking and dating. “The likelihood of a girl who comes from such a family disclosing may be even lower because she doesn’t want her parents to know about other parts of her life such as dating and going to parties,” Sorenson says.
Campus staff can help
Resources for students can be powerful tools for parents, too. “Staff can help describe options that are available, and there are more than most people realize,” Sorenson says. They include colleges providing confidential spaces where a student can share information and decide how to proceed.
Seeking this kind of help is different than filing a police report. Unlike law enforcement, campus staff often can quickly and immediately improve a student’s life following an encounter, she says. For example, they might be able to facilitate switching a dorm room or class placement. “Our students will do better,” Sorenson says, “if they have support from campus—and their parents.”
Susan B. Sorenson is a professor of social policy and former director of the Ortner Center on Violence & Abuse in the School of Social Policy & Practice at the University of Pennsylvania. “After campus sexual assault: A guide for parents” was published in June by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers.

I am blogging about my 40-day abundance journey using the Prosperity Principles in “The Abundance Book” by John Randolph Price.
I keep my mind and thoughts off “this world” and I place my entire focus on God within as the only Cause of my prosperity. I acknowledge the Inner Presence as the only activity in my financial affairs, as the substance of all things visible. I place my faith in the Principle of Abundance in action within me.
I have been in and out of this journey over the past few days, but came back this morning and focused on Principle 10, even though I technically should be back at Principle 1. There was something important for me to get from this, so I settled in and really concentrated on the notion that Spirit within creates opportunities for prosperity. Like on day 10, I don’t accept that Spirit causes prosperity outright, but instead is constantly finding opportunities for prosperity to arrive in my life, provided I let them in.
After meditation I trolled my Instagram feed and saw this post from Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of “Big Magic” and “Eat, Pray, Love,” and it could not be apter:
I am all for eating pizza and drinking wine and taking naps and dog selfies, and I know this was tongue in cheek, but I want to work for my money. I want to take opportunities that make me uncomfortable, to push through my fears and to create something that I can be proud of. And the money will follow. I think Spirit throws balls of opportunity into the air and my role is to be at ease enough to catch them. These opportunities may take the form of a conversation with a stranger on the 2 train over a bracelet made in Niger. They may take the form of a friend from way back, offering bags of vintage clothes right before I’m about to have a big trunk sale. They may be distant connections helping me find people to interview for a research job. All of these things are uplifting but all of them required some effort on my part. If I hadn’t spoken to the man on the train, if I didn’t make time for a 50-minute subway ride out to Brooklyn, if I didn’t ask for help from people I don’t know very well, none of these things would be real. And that is what makes me feel prosperous. I can feel opportunities building on each other, getting bigger and that is awesome. I don’t want to sit back and eat pizza unless the pizza comes afterward, as a reward for doing the work that Spirit put in front of me to do.
