From the Poetry Notebooks of Michael P. Garofalo
"A wonderful site, not only his
nice haiku, but also a very nice and rich bibliography
about haiku on the Net, addresses for publishing , addresses of personal sites of
well-known writers; but above all, an exceptional site rich in quotes, about all that
is connected with gardening , built by a specialist in bibliography."
Serge Tome, Temps Libres - Free Times, 17 June 2000
"This web site has one of the
most complete collections of links to
haiku poetry that I have seen on the web. Carefully listed by names,
it gives you quick access to haiku links. But this is not all,
the site includes references and guides, a section on teaching haiku
poetry, and a collection of Zen quotations. Furthermore, Mr. Garofalo,
the founder, is very versatile. He has also posted The Spirit of Gardening
and Quotes for Gardeners. And, last but not least, his very fine and
sharp poems. So, haiku, Zen, the art of gardening, learning haiku, indexes,
links ... bring us a wonderful site. Excellent! A great contribution!"
- Carlos Fleitas, (E)literature 15 March 2001
Unquestionably, the best on the Web. I'm sure I'm not
the first to notice the Herculean effort you've put into your site. You're
making life easier for a lot of haijin and senryu writers out there."

pertaining to any haiku related subject of interest
can be found at this website. I recommend it. It's well organized,
very complete, and a time-saver."

it seriously. The lesson plans come from a wide variety of authors and are detailed

Well worth a look."

My views on web page design.
Note 2003a: Most of the significant
gains in usage were from the Concrete
Poetry webpages. Links to these pages
appeared in a number of popular newsletters, and usage soared. For example, in April 2003 usage of the
Specific Concrete Poems Index rose to 33,006 due to publicity. In addition, I have been very pleased with the
increased usage of webpages at the Zen Poetry website. For example, in May 2003, 836 people requested
Above the Fog, and 640 persons requested the Precepts webpage. Usage of my own Cuttings poetry pages
has remained steady. For example, in May 2003, 992 persons requested my May issue of Cuttings. I don't have
the time to count and report on all the statistics each month. As a compiler, indexer, and poet I am very satisfied
with the popularity of my creative work by Net readers. Very few Net publishers can claim to have served up
over 800,000 poetry webpages in three years. The reviews have been positive.

Russell Pearce has been one of the leading opponents of Clean Elections in Arizona, a program that Public Campaign Action Fund has long supported. In both his time in the House and now as Senate leader, he has supported measures to gut or repeal Clean Elections.

Madrid | December 14, 2021
SEPLA-Ayuda Foundation and Envera take a step forward in the close collaboration that both entities have maintained for years for the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities, with the signing of an agreement which makes it possible for three children with disabilities and their families without resources to have access to the treatments of Envera's Early Attention Service.
This was agreed by the Foundation of the Spanish Airline Pilots Union (SEPLA) at the last meeting of its Board of Trustees, reaffirming its commitment to improving the opportunities and quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities that Envera serves throughout their life cycle.
The agreement was signed last Monday by the presidents of the SEPLA-Ayuda Foundation, Vicente Alonso Fogué, and of Envera, José Antonio Quintero, both retired pilots of the Iberia company from which Envera was born 45 years ago, both social organizations sharing a completely aeronautical DNA.
The support of the SEPLA-Ayuda Foundation to Envera has made possible the implementation of numerous initiatives in recent years such as the Envera Vegetable Garden, the donation of 2,000 kilograms of vegetables that were distributed during the pandemic among vulnerable families, or the cooperation projects in Otavalo (Ecuador) and Malabo (Equatorial Guinea) with which Envera professionals have trained local therapists in the field to replicate Envera's Early Care and Neurodevelopment model, which is a benchmark in the Community of Madrid.
With this new agreement and thanks to the SEPLA-Ayuda Grants, three children with disabilities will have access, starting in January, to the individualized and comprehensive treatments necessary for their physical and cognitive development at an early stage of life in which it is essential to provide them with specialized care as soon as possible.
These grants are in addition to those that Envera also maintains with companies and with its own Guardianship Foundation through the project Scholarship for a childThese grants are essential so that children and young people with disabilities or developmental disorders can start the necessary treatments as soon as possible without the delay caused by waiting lists to get a public place or lack of resources.

After Bombay Talkies, the group of filmmakers, Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Dibakar Banerjee came together for another anthology of sorts, Lust Stories. The success of the film has boosted the concept of anthology and now another set of filmmakers are all set to join hands. This time, we will see a blend of works created by four national award winners, namely, Mahesh Manjrekar, Priyadarshan, Pradeep Sarkar and Aniruddh Roy Choudhury.
The films made by these directors are expected to be revolving around relationships and deal with its complexities. Mahesh Manjrekar maintained that when it comes to his film from the anthology it is currently under the pre-production stage and that actors will be roped in from all across India for his story. However he didn’t divulge much about the plotline.
While Pradeep Sarkar too is expected to start work on his film soon, there are no details about the film that Pink director Aniruddh Roy Choudhury will be working on. Coming to Pradeep Sarkar, the filmmaker is also currently busy with the release of the Kajol film Helicopter Eela, which is slated to release on October 12.
Yet another intriguing fact about this anthology is that it will be shot in varied locations from the country. Starting from Mumbai, the film will travel across Kolkata, Delhi, Pondicherry, Chennai and Uttar Pradesh.

MEAD – A semi and two pickups were involved in a Sunday evening collision that ended in one fatality.
The Saunders County Sheriff’s Office and the Nebraska State Patrol responded to the scene of the fatality accident one and half miles west of Mead on Highway 92 at 7 PM on Sunday, December 2, 2018.
A semi- tractor trailer driven by James T. Cooler age 53 of Smithland, Iowa was westbound on Highway 92. An eastbound pickup truck lost control and was struck broadside. The passenger in the pickup truck was pronounced dead at the Saunders County Medical Center. A third pickup truck was eastbound and collided with the first eastbound pickup which sustained only minor damage.
The passenger in the 2005 Ford F150 pickup was Peggy R. Havener age 52 of Fremont. She was pronounced dead at the Saunders County Medical Center.
Black ice is suspected, due to the recent winter storm and overall road conditions. Alcohol was not suspected as a contributing factor, and it is not known at this time if seatbelts were in use.

Competition is thought to inhibit the development of a friendship. This idea is not unreasonable. There are cases where friends split up because one wins and the other loses. However, despite the many break-ups, I remain optimistic.
When a person believes that competition is favorable to a friendship, the immediate idea is that competition enables two individuals to better know each other. To win a contest, one must study the other—his or her character and personality. As a result, mutual understanding, which may be in-depth as the study goes on, will develop, laying a firm foundation for the friendship.
Without denying the aforementioned reason, we should find reasons that matter more. First, competition tests a friendship. In other words, whether a friendship is authentic is not certain unless the relationship goes through the competition between two people. It is only if a person, either winning or losing, respect rather than despising the other or being green with envy that the friendship is true. For example, a friend of mine always achieve higher academically than I do. However, never do I for this reason feel disgruntled, and he never looks down upon me. Instead, thanks to the numerous competitions during the years that challenge our relationship, we are aware of that our friendship is unbreakable.
In addition, a friendship is likely and sound only between two people who are able to compete with each other.
In conclusion, the competitive relationship does not diminish a friendship, as long as the two rivals do not resent but respect one another. The reasons, stated above, could not be clearer.

Bridging loan specialist Whitehall Capital grants £714k bridge loan for £1.4m mixed-use property
Whitehall Capital Fund (‘Whitehall Capital’ or ‘the Company’), the specialist commercial and residential property bridge financing fund, is delighted to announce that it has completed a £714k loan for a scheme of 30 flats with a commercial ground floor, valued at £1.4m, located in Darlington, County Durham.
Whitehall Capital has deemed the risk profile for the property to be moderate/low. The loan has a tenor of 12 months and covenants include that the Loan to Value (‘LTV’) ratio must not exceed 65%.
Whitehall Capital, part of the Amram Capital Wealth Management group, issues short term loans (normally 3 to 12 months) that are primarily secured against residential UK property although properties may be residential, commercial, mixed-use or land with planning permission. It ideally targets loans secured against properties valued at between £1m and £10m. The majority of loans are in the £1-5m range. The fund only lends against properties in the UK and has a conscious bias towards big cities – London, Manchester, Birmingham etc. Its current focus area is outside central London but within the M25, but it is actively looking to be a more national lender of choice for its target market.
The loan target net return to investors is between 10% to 12% per annum. Since its establishment, Whitehall Capital has returned a net 10.4% on loans on an annualised basis.
Anthony Bodenstein, CEO of Whitehall Capital, said, “I’d like to extend my gratitude to my extremely efficient team, that was able to complete the loan in just 5 days, with special thanks again to Avi Barr and Nishta Camiah from Lawrence Stephens Solicitors, who worked extremely hard to get the deal closed so quickly. As a sub-fund of Amram Capital, we have access to a readily available pool of capital and therefore our turnaround time for loans is much shorter than our competitors.
“I’m very pleased with the consistent deal flow and steady returns the fund has delivered in the first quarter of this year and I look forward to growing the fund further during the coming months.“

The terror threat still looms large in Sri Lanka and an attack on a church could take place this week, the country's Catholic cardinal has warned.
Malcolm Ranjith has raised his concerns in a letter, sent to church officials, in which he claims to have received ''foreign information'' that another strike is imminent.
The archbishop of Colombo has been an outspoken critic of the Sri Lankan government's apparent failure to act on Indian government intelligence ahead of the Easter attack.
In his missive, which has been posted on social media, he states a church or another church institution is likely to be targeted.
He states that he has therefore made the decision for churches and Catholic schools throughout Sri Lanka to be closed and public congregations for Mass will be cancelled "until further notice".
"For your own good, we have decided to close down those institutions," he wrote.
More than 250 people were killed, including eight Britons and a further 300 injured during the Easter Sunday bloodshed in the country's capital Colombo.
The terror bombings targeted three churches, packed with worshippers, and three upmarket hotels.
Church spokesman Rev. Edmund Thilakaratne confirmed the authenticity of the letter to The Associated Press but declined to disclose further details, including the source of the foreign information.
An Islamic State-linked group of Sri Lankan nationals is believed to have carried out the co-ordinated suicide bombings.
With suspects still at large the Sri Lankan government introduced a ban on face veils this week designed, it was stated, to help police in their hunt.
A warning was also issued of jihadis in military uniform.
Last week, Muslims were told to stay home for Friday prayers and all of Sri Lanka's Catholic churches were closed.
Instead of the usual Sunday Mass, Ranjith delivered a homily before clergy and national leaders at his residence that was broadcast on television.
Sri Lanka's Muslim leaders, however, were encouraging Muslims to return to mosques for Friday prayers, according to N.M. Ameen, president of the Muslim Council of Sri Lanka.
Ameen said the security situation seemed to have improved, though the group had asked the government for additional protection.
Officials have warned that suspects linked to the bombings are still at large.
Intelligence warnings have indicated Sri Lankan government ministers could be targeted by the same group, which pledged its loyalty to Islamic State militants.
Sri Lankan police have released the names and photographs of nine alleged suicide bombers who carried out the Easter attacks, all belonging to an offshoot of a local group called National Towheed Jamaat.
They included extremist preacher Mohamed Zahran, also known as Zahran Hashim, who was described as the attack leader, and the wife of another suicide bomber, who blew herself up, along with her children and three police officers, at a villa belonging to her father-in-law, who is a prominent spice trader.
The bodies of 10 suspected militants killed in a gun battle with security forces and subsequent explosion at a safe house in Sri Lanka's Eastern province last week were buried without any religious rites.
Police suspect that Zahran's father and two brothers, Rilwan and Sheini, were among the 16 killed at the safe house, according to spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara.
Zahran's wife and daughter sustained injuries from the blast, but their medical condition was not immediately clear.

Along with Team USA getting bounced out of the 2019 FIBA World Cup, Kevin Durant inserted himself at the center of the basketball world’s conversation this past week after his interview with The Wall Stree Journal. Some, like Dennis Rodman, have been critical of Durant, others, including retired Nets wing Paul Pierce, seem confused.
The point of confusion for Pierce seems to be why Durant was displeased with the Golden State Warriors offense — considering it was consistently one of the best in the league, if not the best.
But, Pierce explanation on ESPN’s ‘The Jump’ of why he believes Durant wanted to go to Brooklyn did help make sense of the superstar’s displeasure with his old team.
I still believe KD believes he’s the best player on the planet and when he won those two championships he didn’t get that recognition. So that is probably the reason he wants to go to the Nets and show people hat he can be that player again. Now, I don’t know after coming off [an] Achilles injury, I don’t know if that’s possible. But I think that all had to take place in his thinking in going to the Nets. I think he knew he wanted to go there probably in training camp last year.
In the end, it’s all led to Durant calling Brooklyn his home — which is what matters most for the Nets’ future.

Shocking science theories: Earth heading for 25-hour day; Sea ice 'the size of India' melting at poles
Los Angeles : Two theories by scientists have caught readers’ attention on Wednesday with one claiming that the sea ice off both Antarctica and in the Arctic has shrunk by an area the size of India. While the other one claiming that soon world might expect 25 hours a day.
Talking about the first report, Mark Serreze, director of the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado insists that the days are getting really, really long as both poles see record lows.
“There are some really crazy things going on. Temperatures in parts of the Arctic were 20 degrees Celsius above normal some days in November,” he said.
NSIDC data show 2 things:
Ice around Antarctica is retreating with a summer thaw, is the smallest for early December at 11.22 million square kilometers (4.33 million square miles), beating a record from 1982.
Arctic sea ice, expanding in winter, is at a record low of 10.25 million square kilometers (3.96 million square miles), below a 2006 record.
In another concern for scientists, researchers at Durham University and the UK’s Nautical Almanac Office feel that for the past 27 centuries, Earth days have been getting longer by two milliseconds per century – so in 200 million years, the day will be an hour longer.
Study author Leslie Morrison feels, “It’s actually slower than people previously thought – and it’s happening due to Earth’s orbit slowing down. It’s a very slow process. These estimates are approximate, because the geophysical forces operating on the Earth’s rotation will not necessarily be constant over such a long period of time.”
So either ways, it is bad news people- Either your city get submerged under water in coming days or you may have to work for another hour or so in future!

Strategic Actions and Credit Spreads: An Empirical Investigation
AbstractDo strategic actions of borrowers and lenders affect corporate debt values? We find higher bond spreads for firms that can renegotiate debt contracts relatively easily. Consistent with theories of strategic debt service, the threat of strategic default depresses bond values ex ante, even though there may be efficiency gains from renegotiation ex post. However, the economic significance of the net effect is small, suggesting that bondholders have considerable bargaining power. The effect of strategic actions is higher when creditors are particularly vulnerable to strategic threats, including risky firms with high managerial shareholding, simple debt structures, and high liquidation costs.

Before Greg Brady became a fictional doctor and even before he became the fictional Johnny Bravo, he wanted to become the next fictional Don Drysdale. Shouts of "Bonus Baby" could be heard as he drifted off into daydream land.
Fortunately, for the land of television doctors, Greg injured his arm and really got rocked when his head was in the clouds. So, to commemorate lost dreams, I created this card of Greg Brady. I know that the series was on slightly after this card style was made. And I know that he idolized Don Drysdale of the Dodgers. I used the team colors of his baseball team as a template and that screamed Athletics.
I also figured that the 1966 Topps issue would be around the time he was actively collecting baseball cards, so it would be a design that he could fantasize himself being on.
So there you have it. A Greg Brady baseball card. Will the wonders of fake cards ever cease? I sure hope not.

Minocin is used to treat infections and acne.
Following the dosage instructions of your doctor is the best way to use any medication. If you are unsure or do not remember the instructions then you may read the medicine label for more detailed information.
You may choose to take Minocin with a meal to avoid an upset stomach or without one.
Please drink a full glass of water with minocin.
It is very important that you complete the dosage schedule and do not interrupt it in between without seeking prior consultation from your doctor.
Taking your medication at the same time each day is a tried and tested method to avoid missing any doses.
The dosage should not increase more than once in a day (24 hours).
Drug Class and Mechanism
Minocin falls in the class of tetracycline antibiotic and works by slowing the growth of bacteria.
Despite your best attempts at remembering, if you still miss out on a dose, then take it as soon as you remember about it. But keep in mind that you will have to adjust your next dose by spacing it out by 4 to 5 hours. If this is not possible, then the best thing to do would be to skip the missed dose and continue with your normal dosage schedule.
Never try to compensate for the missed dose by taking a double dose together. It may cause adverse effects.
Store minocin at room temperature between 20 and 25 degrees C (read medicine label if unsure). Always keep it in a cool dark place that is not directly exposed to sources of heat or moisture and sunlight. Protect it from kids and pets.
Do not use Minocin if:
you are allergic to any ingredient in Minocin;
you are taking acitretin, an aluminum salt (e.g., aluminum carbonate), isotretinoin, methoxyflurane, or a penicillin.
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Some medical conditions may interact with Minocin . Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have kidney problems
if you have an autoimmune disorder (eg, lupus)
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Minocin . Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
Aluminum salts (eg, aluminum carbonate) or cimetidine because they may decrease Minocin 's effectiveness
Acitretin, anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), digoxin, ergot alkaloids (eg, ergotamine), insulin, isotretinoin, methotrexate, methoxyflurane, or theophyllines because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Minocin
Live oral typhoid vaccine, oral contraceptives (birth control pills), or penicillins because their effectiveness may be decreased by Minocin
Doctors advise against using minocin if you are allergic to any ingredient in it or if you have conditions like kidney problems and auto immune disorder.
Discuss your past/current medical history in detail with your doctor before beginning treatment with any new medication. If you are using any herbal supplements or over the counter medication, including vitamin pills, then mention it to your doctor.
Being an antibiotic minocin cannot be used for treating viral infections common cold and flu. So, you must avoid contact with people who have viral infections.
Some patients using antibiotics have reported extreme stomach cramps which are followed by bloody or tarry stools. If you notice this, then contact your physician immediately.
Constant usage of minocin has led to a re-infection which is more severe than the first. Hence, doctors will constantly monitor your condition closely while using minocin.
If you are expecting a child or are planning to have a child in the near future, then consult your doctor before using minocin to discuss any possible threats to the unborn baby.
If you are a nursing mother and breast feed your baby, then too, seek consultation before using minocin as some drugs are excreted in the breast milk and may enter the baby.

Australasian Dance Collective finally presented its second iteration of the triple bill “Three” to a very eager audience. Originally slated to be performed back in February, the Brisbane floods caused the production to be halted in its tracks. Mid-tech rehearsal everything stopped—the dancers were evacuated, the theatre flooded, and people patiently waited to hear about the future of “Three.” Thankfully, nearly five months later, the production was staged in all its sensory splendour, and audiences flocked to the theatre to support the three new Australian works.

One way to get to know the history of a company is through the “liner notes” of its “Swan Lake” production, and for those of us continuing to build an admiring familiarity with Pacific Northwest Ballet via its digital season offerings, Kent Stowell and Francia Russell’s “Swan Lake” provides an interesting glimpse into PNB prior to Peter Boal’s leadership.FREE ARTICLE

A list of the Top 10 Frank Zappa albums. He was as prolific as he was restless, jumping from genre to genre, and from target to target, with all the control and temperament that you'd expect from a difficult, boundary-busting artist. From the start of the Mothers of Invention in the mid '60s to the end of his life, Zappa's massive output can be maddening to sort through. So we did all the heavy lifting. All you have to do is soak into our list of the Top 10 Frank Zappa Albums. Zappa's debut album with the Mothers of Invention broke a lot of ground. It's not only one of rock's first concept albums, as well as one of its first double LPs, it's also the moment where rock 'n' roll gazed inward and found something other than revelry for the music. With a mix of blues, rock.

Water is an excellent conductor of sound, considerably better than air. The attenuation of sound by absorption and conversion to other energy forms is a function of sound frequency and the properties of water.
The attenuation coefficient, x, in Beer’s law, as applied to sound, where Iz and I0 are now sound intensity values, is dependent on the viscosity of water and inversely proportional to the frequency of the sound and the density of the water. High-pitched sounds are absorbed and converted to heat faster than low-pitched sounds. Sound velocity in water is determined by the square root of elasticity divided by the water’s density. Because water is only slightly compressible, it has a large value of elasticity and therefore conducts sound rapidly. Since both the elasticity and density of seawater change with temperature, salinity, and pressure, so does the velocity of sound.
In the oceans the speed of sound varies between 1,450 and 1,570 metres (about 4,760 to 5,150 feet) per second. It increases about 4.5 metres (about 15 feet) per second per each 1 °C increase in temperature and 1.3 metres (about 4 feet) per second per each 1 psu increase in salinity. Increasing pressure also increases the speed of sound at the rate of about 1.7 metres (about 6 feet) per second for an increase in pressure of 100 metres in depth, which is equal to approximately 10 bars, or 10 atmospheres.
The greatest changes in temperature and salinity with depth that affect the speed of sound are found near the surface. Changes of sound speed in the horizontal are usually slight except in areas where abrupt boundaries exist between waters of different properties. The effects of salinity and temperature on sound speed are more important than the effect of pressure in the upper layers. Deeper in the ocean, salinity and temperature change less with depth, and pressure becomes the important controlling factor.
In regions of surface dilution, salinity increases with depth near the surface, while in areas of high evaporation salinity decreases with depth. Temperature usually decreases with depth and normally exerts a greater influence on sound speed than does the salinity in the surface layer of the open oceans. In the case of surface dilution, salinity and temperature effects on the speed of sound oppose each other, while in the case of evaporation they reinforce each other, causing the speed of sound to decrease with depth. Beneath the upper oceanic layers the speed of sound increases with depth.
If a sound wave (sonic pulse) travels at a right angle to these layers, as in depth sounding, no refraction occurs; however, the speed changes continuously with depth, and an average sound speed for the entire water column must be used to determine the depth of water. Variations in the speed of sound cause sound waves to refract when they travel obliquely through layers of water that have different properties of salinity and temperature. Sound waves traveling downward and moving obliquely to the water layers will bend upward when the speed of sound increases with depth and downward when the speed decreases with depth. This refraction of the sound is important in the sonar detection of submarines because the actual path of a sound wave must be known to determine a submarine’s position relative to the transmitter of the sound. Refraction also produces shadow zones that sound waves do not penetrate because of their curvature.
At depths of approximately 1,000 metres, pressure becomes the important factor: it combines with temperature and salinity to produce a zone of minimum sound speed. This zone has been named the SOFAR (sound fixing and ranging) channel. If a sound is generated by a point source in the SOFAR zone, it becomes trapped by refraction. Dispersed horizontally rather than in three directions, the sound is able to travel for great distances. Hydrophones lowered to this depth many kilometres from the origin of the sound are able to detect the sound pulse. The difference in arrival time of the pulse at separate listening posts may be used to triangulate the position of the pulse source.
Hearing is an important sensory mechanism for marine animals because seawater is more transparent to sound than to light. Animals communicate with each other over long distances and also locate objects by sending directional sound signals that reflect from targets and are received as echoes. Information about the size of a target is gained by varying the frequency of the sound; high-frequency (or short-wavelength) sound waves reflect better from small targets than low-frequency sound waves. The intensity and quality of the returning signal also provide information about the properties of the reflecting target. Much of the world’s oceans are polluted with chaotic sounds from ships, seismic tests, and oil drills, and noise pollution poses a serious problem for marine animals that rely on echolocation in seawater, such as whales and dolphins.Alyn C.

Chemical evolution of seawater
The chemical history of seawater in the oceans has been divided into three stages. The first is an early stage in which Earth’s crust was cooling and reacting with volatile or highly reactive gases of an acidic reducing nature to produce the oceans and an initial sedimentary rock mass. This stage lasted until about 3.5 billion years ago. The second stage was a period of transition to essentially modern conditions, and it is estimated to have ended 2 to 1.5 billion years ago. Since that time it is likely that there has been little change in seawater composition.


Yesterday, the Washington Post's editorial board published an tough op/ed basically mocking President Obama's pretensions (1 million all-electric vehicles on the road by 2015) about subsidizing an electric car industry into existence. The Post op/ed notes:
The Energy Department study assumed that General Motors would produce 120,000 plug-in hybrid Volts in 2012. GM never came close to that and recently suspended Volt production at its Hamtramck, Mich., plant, scene of a presidential photo-op. So far, GM has sold a little more than 21,000 Volts, even with the help of a $7,500 tax credit, recent dealer discounting and U.S. government purchases. When you factor in the $1.2?billion cost of developing the Volt, GM loses tens of thousands of dollars on each model.
Some such losses are normal in the early phases of a product's life cycle. Perhaps the knowledge and technological advances GM has reaped from developing the Volt will help the company over the long term. But this is cold comfort for the taxpayers who still own more than a quarter of the firm.
The Energy Department predicted that Nissan, recipient of a $1.5 billion government-guaranteed loan, would build 25,000 of its all-electric Leaf this year; that car has sold only 14,000 units in the United States.
As these companies flail, they are taking the much-ballyhooed U.S. advanced-battery industry down with them. A Chinese company had to buy out distressed A123, to which the Energy Department has committed $263 million in production aid and research money. Ener1, which ran through $55 million of a $118 million federal grant before going bankrupt, sold out to a Russian tycoon.
No matter how you slice it, the American taxpayer has gotten precious little for the administration's investment in battery-powered vehicles, in terms of permanent jobs or lower carbon dioxide emissions. There is no market, or not much of one, for vehicles that are less convenient and cost thousands of dollars more than similar-sized gas-powered alternatives — but do not save enough fuel to compensate. The basic theory of the Obama push for electric vehicles — if you build them, customers will come — was a myth. And an expensive one, at that.
In my 2010 column, "Revving Up Electric Cars with Government Cash," I reported about my visit to the brand spanking new Ener1 lithium battery plant in Indiana, funded by an $118 million grant from the Department of Energy.
As my colleague Tim Cavanaugh reported, the company went bankrupt last January. Cavanaugh also noted Obama's State of the Union doubling down on subsidized batteries:
In three years, our partnership with the private sector has already positioned America to be the world's leading manufacturer of high-tech batteries. Because of federal investments, renewable energy use has nearly doubled….
I will not cede the wind or solar or battery industry to China or Germany because we refuse to make the same commitment here. We have subsidized oil companies for a century. That's long enough. It's time to end the taxpayer giveaways to an industry that's rarely been more profitable, and double-down on a clean energy industry that's never been more promising.
Never been more promising? The Post called this a "myth," but it really seems more like a delusion.
See also my colleague Shikha Dalmia's take on the reports that GM is losing $50,000 per copy of the Volt.

- Make sure that Auto Trust Check Request upon posting bills is checked.
- Now when you run your bills Abacus Accounting will automatically apply trust money to the cost for the bill and generate a Trust Check for the amount. However the complete process is not automated. After your bill has been posted, you will need to print the Trust Check.
- When printing bills, ensure that Automatically Apply Trust to Bill or Stop for Manual Input is selected.
- Be sure to verify the trust transfers on EACH of your bills BEFORE completing this process. If any charges or trust balances are incorrect, these will need to be corrected before posting bills, or the trust transfer will be incorrect. Correcting these issues after posting bills and printing the trust check is SUBSTANTIALLY more difficult!
- When posting bills, ensure that the Vendor selected is correct (this should automatically be set to the record set as your Firm Vendor ID in Company Preferences).
- If you check the box for Automatically Process Trust Checks, Abacus Accounting will automatically take you to the screen to print your full trust check.
- If Abacus Accounting did not take you to the print screen automatically, navigate to Trust > Print Trust Checks.
- On the Check Selection tab, highlight the relevant check(s) and click Print.
- Select the correct Printer, Check Number, and Check/Post Date.
- If you will be transferring the money electronically, select ATM/Electronic Payments under Print Options.
- Check Summary Stub if more than 10 matters on a check if you want only one check number to be used by this check, and it has more than 10 matters on it. Otherwise, Abacus Accounting will print a voided check for every 10 matters after the first 10 so as to be able to use the check stub to continue the details of each matter that appeared on the check. If this is checked, a summary of the total on the check will be printed on a single stub.
- After the check has been printed, the final step is to receive that check as a payment. This will mark the charges as paid, and log that the money is received in your operating account.
- Navigate to Billing > Payments Received
- After the check is printed, client payments are automatically generated for each matter. Simply highlight the payment(s), and click Post


Plastic has become a part of daily life and there appears to be no way around it. Food comes in plastic wrappers, electronics come in plastic casings, and, rather notoriously, drinks come in plastic bottles. All of these have contributed to an increase plastics in the ocean as well as extra waste in community landfills.
On Mar. 20, this will be the topic of the upcoming dialogue hosted by the Stratford Public Library with the University of Waterloo as part of an ongoing community dialogues series. The purpose of the talk will be to educate others on the reduction of plastic in everyday life, particularly with regards to single-use disposable plastic items.
The first meeting of the year will be held in the University of Waterloo Stratford’s main atrium and will involve an open discussion between Waterloo’s Kassy Vassilakos and Upper Thames River Conservation Authority’s Emily Chandler and Jennifer Pate. Following the presentation, both Chandler and Pate will be accepting questions from the audience.
Robyn Godfried, Stratford’s adult collection and outreach librarian noted that there were strong feelings about how much plastic there was in modern society.
In an interview with the Stratford Beacon Herald, Godfried stated, “We’re hoping that there will be some strategies for people who are quite happy to use convenient plastic things that will help them to make decisions based on a more global understanding.”
Mitigating plastic can admittedly be a somewhat inconvenient task. However, the reward for doing so is a much lower presence of plastics in our waterways as well as in the ocean. For example, replacing certain disposable items with reusable ones may not eliminate a person’s plastic consumption completely, but it can do a lot to lower the daily plastic expenditure.
Waterloo Region is not the first community to discuss how to mitigate the negative effects of plastic on the environment. Recently, the United Kingdom passed a law that prohibited the use of plastic straws due to the issues caused in British waterways.
In Canada, some fast food restaurants such as Harvey’s and A&W have already developed the practice of providing customers with paper straws instead of their plastic counterparts.
For those who don’t wish to use a straw that goes soggy if submerged too long, the University of Waterloo, itself, already sells custom made metal straws that sport the university’s insignia. Both of these options, combined with the increasingly common practice of using biodegradable plastic made from corn starch, could lead to a future where plastic is not such a prominent environmental issue. It might just take a bit of effort.

Raskin elected top Democrat on House Oversight Committee
House Democrats on Thursday elected Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) as ranking member on the House Oversight Committee.
Why it matters: The job comes with a hefty mandate: leading the defense against a battery of planned Republican investigations into the Biden administration on everything from the border to Afghanistan to Hunter Biden.
Driving the news: In a closed-door caucus meeting Thursday, Raskin defeated Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) 133-75, according to two sources in the room.
- The result comes after the Democratic Steering Committee recommended Raskin for the role this month, leading Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), who finished third in that vote, to drop out.
- Steering committee members told Axios that a major asset for Raskin is his national profile, amassed during stints as a Trump impeachment manager and Jan. 6 committee member.
Between the lines: In defeating Connolly, Raskin leapfrogged a more senior member on the oversight panel, bypassing a seniority system to which Democrats have often adhered when picking committee leaders.
- Raskin's pugnacious and media-savvy operating style contrasts with that of his predecessor, outgoing Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), who ascended to the role based on her seniority.
What he's saying: "We will be a truth squad in the sense that we will have to debunk conspiracy theories, disinformation and propaganda. And we've gotten good at that," Raskin told Axios of his strategy for countering GOP investigations.
- "We will have to deal with the fake scandals du jour as they come," he added.
- Raskin said he sees potential areas of bipartisan cooperation as well, citing oversight of funds from the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the Inflation Reduction Act.
- "We should be doing hearings to make sure the people are getting the benefit of those laws ... those are things we could get together on to do to make sure government is actually serving the people. A lot of the wild goose chases just don't help anybody."

South Carolina Congressman Clyburn Seeks To Give Jacksonville Millennials Reasons To Vote Clinton
South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn, the highest-ranking black House member, stopped in Jacksonville Monday to rally African-American support for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Speaking to a mostly-baby boomer crowd, Clyburn said the campaign has to do more than talk about Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“We’ve got a good case as to why we should not be voting for Trump. That’s not our problem. The problem is the campaign is too close in Florida, in Ohio, in Virginia, now it’s closer in North Carolina and Pennsylvania – these battleground states. Why? It’s because we have not done a good enough job of telling people why they should be voting for Hillary Clinton,” he said.
Clinton is enjoying a post-debate bump nationally, and in Florida where the latest Quinnipiac University poll has her leading by five points. But last month, a Washington Post poll found nearly half of Trump voters were “very enthusiastic,” while only a third of Clinton voters were. The Real
Clear Politics aggregate of national polls shows Clinton leading Trump by less than three percentage points.
Clyburn pointed blame for that enthusiasm gap at millennials, who overwhelmingly backed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in the primary.
“We cannot allow this campaign, this candidacy of Hillary Clinton, to be defined by the primary,” he said.
Clyburn told the crowd of older voters that they should be responsible for informing their younger counterparts and providing guidance on why Clinton is the right choice.
The Democratic nominee has been facing extra scrutiny among younger voters for leaked comments she made at a private fundraiser during the primary. According to the online political magazine Politico, Clinton told supporters that the Sanders’ “political revolution” is a “false promise” and described herself as in between the center left and center right.
“There’s just a deep desire to believe that we can have free college, free healthcare, that what we’ve done hasn't gone far enough, and that we just need to, you know, go as far as you know, Scandinavia — whatever that means — and half the people don't know what that means, but it’s something that they deeply feel,” said Clinton about six months ago.
Clyburn said her phrasing could’ve been better and that she “short-circuited,” borrowing from Clinton’s own excuse when pressed about her private email server.
Former Democratic rival Bernie Sanders also defended the comments, saying millennials were living at home because the current economic system left them behind.

(TT GUARDIAN) – After being barred from entering the Treasury building to change cheques on Monday because her shoulders were exposed, Arouca caterer Allison Skinner-Bacchus draped herself in a curtain she had in her vehicle and unintentionally reignited the national debate on the dress code for government offices. However, the Minister of Public Administration said on Tuesday the policies are being reviewed.
In an interview with Guardian Media in front the Treasury yesterday, Skinner-Bacchus said she refused to accept the two options when she was refused entry—either returning home to change or purchasing something more “appropriate.”
“I walked away, went back to my car and the only thing was watching me was a plastic bag and a curtain and the curtain telling me—aye, look me here. So, I say come here, we going to the bank. So, I pick up my curtain, come back and as a normal Trini, I could’ve taken the curtain and throw it as a shawl over me but I needed to make a point,” she said.
“I didn’t know what the point was, at the time, so I open the whole curtain and drape it like a superhero (cape). When I came back here the security was in stitches…she opened the bank, ushered me in very politely. I went in the line, do my business, come back.”
She posted pictures of herself in front the building. It went viral, reigniting the debate on what government offices consider appropriate attire.
Under one of her friend’s reposts of the photos, many people recounted their own experiences with having to scrape together outfits to conduct business at other establishments.
Others commended her move, criticising the policy as archaic and reminiscent of T&T’s colonial history.
Skinner-Bacchus believes policymakers need to revisit the system.
“Based on our climate, I think they need to revisit and revise some of the things they have. I understand, and I’m all for rules, I’m all for regulations, I am not about throwing out the baby with the bathwater – that is not what I am saying. What I’m saying is there are things that are unnecessary and I think this was an unnecessary case,” she said.
Contacted on the incident yesterday, Public Administration Minister Allyson West said the ministry is currently looking at it “with a view to making a recommendation.”
Asked whether this review was prompted by Skinner-Bacchus’ incident, she said the process began well before Monday.
“It is part of our overall programme to improve the service provided by the public service to the public,” she said.
Earlier this year, Tobago House of Assembly Chief Secretary Farley Augustine said all such codes would be removed for citizens accessing services at THA offices.
