ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico, July 2, 2003 (ENS) - Withholding of vital environmental information is getting to be a bad habit with the Bush administration, REP America, the national grassroots organization of Republicans for environmental protection, said today.
REP America reacted to published reports that the administration withheld an analysis showing a Senate bill to clean up power plant pollution would be significantly more effective and cost only marginally more than the administration's "Clear Skies" plan.
REP America President Martha Marks said, "First, the administration watered down language about global warming (news - web sites) in EPA's recent state of the environment report. Then, the administration dismissed federal scientists' concerns in declaring that Yellowstone National Park is in no danger. Now, we see that senators were not given vital information about cleaning up unhealthy power plant emissions."
"The administration should treat the American people and their Congressional representatives like adults and give them the unvarnished truth about the environment," she said.
REP America believes that reducing unhealthy pollutants and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions together would be the most efficient way to clean up power plants, which are responsible for one-third of CO2 emissions across the United States. CO2 is the major heat trapping greenhouse gas responsible for global warming.
Bipartisan "four-pollutant" legislation requiring reduced power plant emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, mercury, and carbon dioxide through a market based approach is the best solution, REP America says.
In addition, new legislation should give all power plants a deadline to meet modern pollution reduction standards, the organization said.
"Thanks to enforcement of the Clean Air Act, our nation has made a lot of progress in reducing unhealthy air pollution," Marks said. "There is more work to be done, however. It's not fair that old, outdated power plants are allowed to emit more unhealthy air pollution than newer plants. All power plants should have to meet the same standards."
"The U.S. must do more to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming," Marks said. "By addressing all these issues at once, we can get more emissions reductions per dollar spent, protect public health, and give regulatory certainty to utilities and other power plant owners," Marks said.
Senate Republicans supporting the four-pollutant legislation include Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island. Another bill is co-sponsored by Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins both of Maine.
House Republicans supporting the four-pollutant legislation include Sherwood Boehlert and Sue Kelly of New York, Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland, Nancy Johnson and Christopher Shays of Connecticut, and Frank LoBiondo and Jim Saxton of New Jersey.

The building codes for Columbia and Boone County, which have not been updated since 2000, are about to get a makeover.
While Boone County officials are conducting public hearings on a new set of codes, the Columbia City Council will update its codes at its Tuesday night meeting. Public comment is welcome.
City and county officials have tried to ensure that their new codes will be as similar as possible.
“We’re making every effort to be as close to what Columbia does,” said Boone County Planning and Building Director Stan Shawver. “A lot of builders and subcontractors in Columbia go out of their jurisdictions. If the codes are similar, builders in Columbia can build more easily out of the city.”
The new codes will adhere to the 2006 International Building Codes Series and will result in only minor changes, Shawver said.
“The majority of the changes have already been happening anyway,” Shawver said. “Nothing earthshaking will be changed.”
A report to the City Council from City Manager Bill Watkins indicates that builders can anticipate more stringent requirements for automatic sprinkler systems, new standards for address numbers and limits on water temperatures to prevent scalding.
Current codes require automatic sprinkler systems in buildings that are 5,000 square feet or larger or in buildings with occupancy rates of 300 or more. The new code cuts those occupancy limits by more than half, requiring sprinkler systems in buildings with occupancy rates of 100 or more.
Shawver said that the suggested lower rates of occupancy might be a bit much. County officials are considering amending the 2006 code to require sprinklers in buildings with occupancy rates of 200 or more.
“(The 2006 occupancy limit) currently says that small restaurants would have to install sprinkler systems,” Shawver said. “A place as small as that Subway on Ninth Street would have to have sprinklers.”
The new code will also require address numbers on all homes. The numbers must be at least four inches high and of a color that contrasts with the home. Existing address numbers that meet the minimum standard of the current code — 2 inches high and visible from the street — will still be allowed if they are in good condition.
The proposed new county codes will be open to public comment for the next few weeks. The new city codes will be up for final approval by the City Council on Tuesday. That meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at the Daniel Boone Building, 701 E. Broadway.


It's fun to watch the seasons shift from space. One of the best ways to do that is from a geostationary weather satellite. Parked over Earth's equator, a satellite like Himawari-8 sees the terminator tilt this way and that with the shifting of the seasons while the continents sit still. (That's Australia at the bottom of the images.)
This year, we have a new way to regularly look at Earth from space: DSCOVR. Sitting between Earth and the Sun, it has quite a different perspective on Earth's shifting seasons. On the left, in northern hemisphere summer, Antarctica is invisible and Australia is pretty far south on the disk. As you go right and summer comes to the southern hemisphere, Australia marches up close to the middle of the disk, and Antarctica reveals itself at the bottom of the globe.
Neat, huh? If you want to play with DSCOVR images from your part of the globe, go to the DSCOVR EPIC website and play around with dates and times. Himawari-8, being geostationary, only ever gives its fixed point of view on Earth; if you want to see something other than Australia and eastern Asia, you'll need to check out other geostationary satellites, like GOES East and West and Meteosat.

Somehow, that just doesn’t sound the same without the accent.
The pattern is called Scallop Tea Cosy and can be found on crochetroo’s blog HERE. She has it in two sizes, I increased the size by a scallop on each side as my pot is fat. I just carried the yarn behind to make the diagonal row of red. And I chained the two colours together for the tie.
There seems to be a lot of crochet in this cosy because of all the scallops, but it really doesn’t take long to make.

United had denied their "noisy neighbours" the title last week at the Etihad Stadium after coming from two goals down to win 2-3 in an intense match. They've got a chance to be the first Premier League team to crack 100 points and are well on their way to grabbing 100 goals in league.
There were wins for Crystal Palace and Huddersfield Town in their bids to avoid relegation, while Burnley continued their charge to a Europa League place with victory over Leicester City. But when we do something positive, then also tell the truth. "I knew that sooner or later that would happen". 'We were deservedly punished, ' he said.
Now they have four, and it comes at the expense of United... at Old Trafford.
After starting the title party with his Mancunian wife and his United-supporting father-in-law, City captain Vincent Kompany joined team-mates to raise a glass to their success.
And while United's title dreams may have been over long before Sunday's game, yet again Mourinho has failed to build on the momentum of a big win against a rival.
You could see the attitudes of some players, masters of complication.

Reposted from Law Enforcement Today
BURNSVILLE, MN- Where have we seen this before? One of the largest police unions in the state of Minnesota slammed Gov. Tim Walz and his administration this week for “counseling teachers and parents to use materials which instill fear of police officers in young children.”
They were referring to a fourth-grade class at Echo Park Elementary School in Burnsville, Minnesota, where students were forced to watch a video version of a book called “Something Happened in Our Town.” This did not sit well with the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association (MPPOA).
The book, written by a left-wing social justice warrior accuses police of demonstrating a “pattern” of “being nice to white people and mean to black people.” Seriously, it says that.
“The cops shot him because he was black,” one character in the book laments, according to the video.
Yet another says, “Cops stick up for each other,” lamenting the fact that a fictional officer in the book “won’t go to jail.”
Still another character says, “And they don’t like black men.”
According to AlphaNewsMN.com, the book has been recommended by the Minnesota Department of Health and the Minnesota Department of Education, as a “resource” for children to have conversations about race, the letter from the MPPOA wo Walz states.
“However, this book leaves children with the impression that police officers are not there for the public safety of their communities and even suggests that children should fear police officers,” the letter says. “This book encourages children to fear police officers as unfair, violent and racist.”
In the letter, MPPOA Executive Director Brian Peters asks the state to “cease the recommendation and use of this book as a form of instruction for elementary aged children.”
“Our members deserve better from the state than to see their profession demonized. Their families deserve better form the state than to see their loved ones who risk their lives disparaged and unfairly cast as violent or racist and we hope you agree,” the letter continues.
Three Republican state lawmakers issued a joint statement in response to the letter.
“There are important conversations to be had about race, equity and how we can make sure every Minnesotan feels protected and respected by law enforcement, but telling children that cops ‘don’t like black men’ and using children’s educational material to drive hateful narratives about law enforcement is outrageous and unacceptable,” they wrote.
“Demonizing an entire profession, including parents of the children to whom this book is being promoted, is not the way to bring people together,” the statement read. “Instead, this material will endanger efforts to make our communities safer and improve relationships between police and the communities they are sworn to protect.”
The letter was signed by Reps. Ron Kresha, Sondra Erickson, and Brian Johnson.

Konstantin Sergeyevich Alexeyev, who achieved fame as Konstantin Stanislavski, is recognised world-wide as the single most influential figure in Western actor training. Almost all mainstream training establishments employ his techniques in some form, and most actors are familiar with the processes which Stanislavski developed for creating roles onstage.
Stanislavski was born in Moscow in 1863 to a wealthy industrialist family whose principal business was the manufacture of gold and silver thread. The Alexeyevs had previously been serfs, but by Konstantin’s birth had become one of the new families whose rise to affluence symbolised the move away from feudalism and fixed status.

As Minister for Digital Development, I hosted a meeting of top officials of Local Authorities and senior executives of National Broadband Ireland (NBI) in Tullamore to hear of NBI’s plans for the roll-out of high speed broadband across Rural Ireland.
The company was awarded the contract for the delivery of the NBP in November.
The meeting, which was organised by my department, the Department of Rural and Community Development, was attended by Chief Executives, Directors of Services and Broadband Officers from every Local Authority in Ireland.
The attendees heard from senior representatives from NBI, including Chief Executive Peter Hendrick, and TJ Malone, Chief Executive of NBI Deployment.
The signing of the contract with National Broadband Ireland in November for the delivery of the National Broadband Plan reflects the Government’s commitment to providing high-speed broadband to Rural Ireland.
The NBP will bridge the divide between rural and urban areas, ensuring everyone has equal access to the technology and connectivity they need to succeed in their studies, their careers and in business.
The NBP will also support access to a wide range of broadband services which can, for instance, support remote healthcare and address issues around rural isolation and rural crime.
Local Authorities have a key role to play as National Broadband Ireland gear up to deliver high-speed broadband to more than a half a million premises.
I was delighted to have been able to bring NBI and the Local Authorities together to share information on NBI’s plans for the deployment of high-speed broadband and to ensure that Local Authorities are ready when works commence in their local areas.
The Local Authority Broadband Officers will play a central role in removing barriers to the roll-out of the NBP over the coming years, and will act as a point of contact for members of the public, NBI and elected representatives.
Broadband Connection Points (BCPs) will be the first deliverable under the NBP and approximately 300 locations in remote areas will be provided with a wireless broadband connection within the first 12 months of the NBP roll-out.
Early in the New Year, I intend to allocate funding for BCPs to ensure that there are no infrastructural barriers to connecting to the new high-speed broadband network.
Here is a quick guide to the National Broadband Plan:
The National Broadband Plan is a Government strategy designed to deliver high speed broadband services to all businesses and households in Ireland.
The Government has committed to investing a maximum of €3 billion to deliver the roll out of high speed broadband in areas of the country where commercial deployment is not viable. The contract outlines a spend of €152 million for County Galway alone.
The State Intervention area includes:
537, 596 premises
1.1m citizens (23% of national population)
BROADBAND CONNECTION POINTS
Broadband Connection Points are typically public buildings, such as schools, community centres and sports clubs. Approximately 300 of these locations will be provided with a wireless broadband connection within the first 12 months of the NBP roll-out and will, in turn, make this connectivity available to the public on-site.
BCPs will be established in some of the most remote areas of the country which might otherwise be connected towards the end of the NBP roll-out. There will be 20 BCPS in County Galway.
The BCP project is a joint initiative of the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment.
The Department of Rural and Community Development co-funds a Broadband Officer in each Local Authority in the country. Broadband Officers will play a central role in removing barriers to the NBP over the coming years and will act as a point of contact for members of the public, NBI and elected representatives.
Broadband Officer meetings are held on a monthly basis around the country, providing the national network of Local Authority Broadband Officers an opportunity to meet, exchange information and expertise, and be updated on recent developments in relation to telecommunications.


If it has ever seen like D.C.'s neighborhoods just north of the National Mall are disproportionately full of runners, it's because they are. This gorgeous map above courtesy of FlowingData shows the locations in D.C. where people run. Upon making maps for twenty-two different cities, the intrepid author, data collector and map-maker Nathan Yau notes, "If there's one quick (and expected) takeaway, it's that people like to run by the water and in parks." That would certainly explain why the darkest lines on the map go all the way through Rock Creek Park. Also in keeping with this trend, there are clear running routes around the National Mall, into the Tidal Basin, around Roosevelt Island and on both sides of the Potomac. In terms of road running, it looks like Connecticut Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue carry a lot of particularly quick foot traffic. For those who notice the perplexing lack of lines along the Anacostia River or who wonder why the purple lines seem to stop short before reaching Columbia Heights, it's worth noting that this data is culled from people who use the RunKeeper app.

Ukrainian opposition protesters ended a two-month occupation of the City Hall in Kyiv yesterday (16 February), reaching an amnesty offer aimed at easing a stand-off over President Viktor Yanukovich's rule. The Commission president, José Manuel Barroso, welcomed the move.
The authorities, for their part, withdrew riot police from a flashpoint district of the capital, near the Dynamo Kyiv football stadium, where at least three protesters died in January in violence between ultra-radical activists and police.
Apparently accepting that the protesters had met the authorities half-way, the prosecutor's office said in a statement that the amnesty would come into force from Monday.
Criminal charges would be dropped against those protesters for violations committed between 27 December and 2 February, it said – a period that includes a week of clashes in which six people were killed and hundreds of police and protesters injured.
“I welcome release of activists and evacuation of city buildings as important steps to find political solution in Ukraine”, Barroso said on Twitter.
EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton stated that she welcomed “several important steps” that had been undertaken during the last few days to de-escalate the situation in Ukraine, “thus contributing to a Ukrainian way out from the current political crisis”.
“In particular I welcome today's evacuation by activists of the Kiev City administration building as well as several other administrative buildings throughout the country”, Ashton said, adding thatshe also welcomed that “nearly all Maidan activists” had been released from pre-trial detention during the past days.
“I call upon the Ukrainian authorities to close now all pending court cases, including all house arrests. I expect such action to be taken without delay so as to facilitate the political dialogue in Parliament this week." Ashton said.
Despite the conciliatory moves, opposition leaders sought to keep up pressure on Yanukovich, telling a rally in Kyiv's Independence Square that he must abandon "dictatorial" powers and let them form a government independent of him.
On Tuesday, Yanukovich may present his candidate for prime minister to parliament – a choice that will show whether he is ready to make more concessions to the opposition after 12 weeks of often ugly street confrontation.
Opposition leaders made clear on Sunday they would also push in parliament for constitutional changes to reduce Yanukovich's powers.
The unrest was sparked by Yanukovich in November when he spurned a free trade agreement long in the making with the European Union and opted for a $15 billion (€11 billion) package of Russian credits and cheaper gas to shore up Ukraine's ailing economy.
The revolt spiralled into countrywide protests at perceived sleaze and corruption in the Yanukovich administration, and has triggered a geopolitical tussle between East and West.
As Russia beckons with the aid package, the United States and its Western allies have urged Yanukovich to move back towards an IMF-backed deal with Europe.
Club-wielding masked men
As Sunday's peaceful rally unfolded on Independence Square, attracting several thousand, young club-wielding masked men from the radical fringe of the protest movement were on patrol, looking for government agents known locally as "titushki".
A group of about 40 young men, wearing black balaclavas and carrying shields that announced they were from the 14th "self-defence" unit, marched through crowds gathered near the Dynamo Kyiv football stadium, a frontline in the unrest.
All the same, tensions in the area abated, with riot police leaving the streets and protesters opening a passage for limited traffic to pass barricades and reach government headquarters and parliament.
Western governments have expressed fears of an escalation of conflict and breakdown of law and order unless Yanukovich meets opposition demands.
On Sunday, former economy minister Arseny Yatseniuk repeated calls for constitutional changes that would strip Yanukovich of powers he has accumulated and enable an opposition government to be formed to lead the ex-Soviet republic to economic recovery.
After protesters departed Kyiv's City Hall, which they had occupied since early December, Yatseniuk urged Ukraine's judicial authorities to live up to their amnesty promise:
"We want about 2,000 criminal cases to be dropped. If this does not happen, we will start a peaceful offensive."
EU and OSCE support
Demonstrators had swept into the main municipal building shortly after Yanukovich decided to ditch the EU trade pact.
Switzerland, now chair of the OSCE human rights watchdog, sent an envoy to Kyiv to monitor the City Hall evacuation.
In Brussels, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said she expected the authorities now to close all pending court cases, including house arrests, "so as to facilitate the political dialogue in parliament this week".
Masked men in military fatigues and the demonstrators they had protected against riot police since mid-December filed out of Kyiv's city hall but threatened to return if authorities did not carry out the amnesty promise.
Opposition deputies said protesters had similarly pulled out of municipal buildings in several areas of western Ukraine, a hotbed of opposition to Yanukovich, and in one part of the southeast where the president has retained more support.
Andriy, 45, commander of about 100 men in black balaclavas leaving City Hall, said they were doing so on the understanding that charges against detained activists would be dropped.
A pivotal decision in coming days will be who Yanukovich names as his candidate for prime minister to replace the Russian-born Mykola Azarov, whom he sacked on 28 January in an unsuccessful attempt to appease the protesters.
He has until the end of the month to find one, although parliament speaker Volodymyr Rybak was quoted by Interfax as saying he thought Yanukovich might present his candidate to parliament on Tuesday.
With the hryvnia currency under pressure, he has to find a new steward of the economy quickly.
His choice could encourage a quicker disbursement of Russia's bailout package. But if he resists calls for constitutional change and names a hardliner, the streets could return to uproar.
Yatseniuk and Vitaly Klitschko, the leader of the opposition UDAR party and former boxing world champion, will meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin today. The Ukrainian press writes that the two will ask EU financial assistance and visa-free travel for Ukrainian citizens.
The Ukrainian government announced on 21 November that it had decided to stop its preparations to sign an Association Agreement (AA) with the EU.
Following the news that Yanukovich failed to sign the AA at the Vilnius summit on 28-29 November, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians took to the streets demanding his resignation [read more]. The protests, called EuroMaidan, have lasted ever since.
On 16 January supporters of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich hastily pushed through in Parliament new laws, in an attempt to curb anti-government protests. The Commission called these laws “shocking” and “disrespectful to democracy” [read more].
The new legislation, which ran to more than 100 pages and a summary of which in English was obtained by EURACTIV, appeared directed mainly at preparing the ground for action to end the street protests. On 28 January the parliament revoked this legislation and the prime minister, Mykola Azarov, resigned. He was replaced by Serhiy Arbuzov, a close ally of Yanukovich.
Six people have been killed and hundreds have been injured in street battles between anti-government demonstrators and police which escalated sharply after the authorities toughened their response. The police officer who died on the street on Wednesday night took the death toll to seven.

The Mystery of
Love & Sex
At the Writers Theatre (Gillian)
By Dan Zeff
Glencoe–“The Mystery of Love & Sex” at the Writers Theatre has only four characters but they go through enough anxiety attacks over sex, personal identity, marital conflict, gender stress, parent-child relationships, and race to occupy a cast of thousands.
The play begins with teenager Charlotte hosting a meal for her parents, Howard and Lucinda, in her dormitory broom. Also in attendance is Jonny, Charlotte’s bosom friend since childhood who still remains very close, though their relationship somehow hasn’t gravitated to the sexual plateau. Jonny is an African American Baptist. Charlotte and her parents are white. Howard is a blustery New York City Jew, Lucinda is a breezy and boozing Southern gentile. That’s a lot of social, religious, geographical, and ethnic diversity for just four characters.
The play covers about five years in the lives of the foursome. The thematic motor that drives Bathsheba Doran’s play is sex, in all its manifestations, especially in the personage of Charlotte. She is a conflicted young woman, going through heterosexual, bisexual, and lesbian phases that trigger much robust dialogue, much of it funny, much of it intense to excess.
The characters tend all seem to be living on their nerve ends for most of the evening. Charlotte and Jonny in particular careen through a relationship that ranges from mutual declarations of undying love to a relationship-killing hostility, at least at Charlotte’s end. Howard and Lucinda carry on hostilities of a marital nature, their marriage having begun to unravel shortly after they wed. But they are both literate and intelligent people who have wandered from the paths of happiness and fulfillment in their middle age
The four are likable, though Howard is the least likeable, with his in your face manner that presumably is the hallmark of a New York male Jew. Howard treats Charlotte as Daddy’s girl, which stimulates plenty of harsh exchanges with the other three, especially Jonny, who sees in Howard’s books unmistakable footprints of racism. Howard, of course, is outraged by the imputation and both males finally explode into a wrestling fight.

This cauldron of conflicts does churn up plenty of laughs, especially early in the play, but as Charlotte grows older she gets progressively less cute and comic and more accusatory, all three other characters taking turns in the crosshairs of her hypersensitivity. After a while the play seems to be a roundelay of wars of words as each character sounds off on how the deeds and attitudes of the others have offended. The final scene offers us a tableau of four-way reconciliation among all the principals, but to reach this manipulative happy ending the playwright has put her characters through an overabundance of narrative contrivances and convolutions.
Doran’s play may offer more heat than light but she has still written some wonderfully sharp dialogue. The playwright definitely is in the right business. She has a splendid way with words and she can create scenes crackling with tension. Best of all, she can write roles that actors can really sink their teeth into, and the Writers Theatre, under Marti Lyons’s fluid direction, rises to their opportunities. This is one very well performed play.
The older characters are played by Keith Kupferer (Howard, a successful writer of detective stories) and Lia Mortensen (Lucinda), two thoroughbreds on the Chicagoland theater scene for many years. Kupferer is gruff and unsympathetic for much of his stage time, but Howard is what he is, and Kupferer gives the man a fair hearing as a husband and father who has feelings as easily hurt as those of the others beneath all his curmudgeon exterior. Mortensen has a more audience friendly role, her cynicism and wit masking the inner turmoil of a woman who has not led a happy personal life.
The adults are pretty much formed in their personalities by the time the action begins. The younger generation is going through all the angst of young people trying to find their sexual identity and generally trying to sort out who they are and where their lives will take them. The Writers has cast a pair of little known (at least to me) performers who both deliver breakout performances of assurance and depth. Hayley Burgess is persuasive in conveying all Charlotte’s shifting sexual phases, growing up before our eyes. If Charlotte’s plate seems overloaded with turmoil, put that on the playwright’s head. Burgess is in full control, physically and vocally. Her character may take herself too seriously to the point of reaching the ”enough already” level of hypersensitivity, but there isn’t a feeling that Burgess doesn’t nail honestly.

Travis Turner is likewise outstanding. His Jonny is an emotional punching bag for both Charlotte and Howard during the play but finally gets the opportunity to stand up against what he perceives as a lack of understanding from the others. He is probably the most sinned against character in the play and his late angry and articulate rebuttals to both Howard and Charlotte are dramatic highlights of the show.
There actually is a fifth character who appears for a few seconds near the conclusion and gets one of the biggest laughs of the night. Jerry Miller proves the adage that there are no small roles for an actor who knows how to milk a moment on the stage.
The production fits snugly in the intimate Gillian Theatre. During scene changes actors and stagehands smoothly shift props on and off the stage. The scenic design by Andrew Boyce, assisted by properties master Scott Dickens, keeps the settings simple but effective. There is also complementary fine work by Samantha C. Jones (costumes), Paul Toben (lighting), and Andrew Hansen (sound).
While “The Mystery of Love & Sex” (an apt rather than exploitive title), was unfolding on stage, I was continuously entertained. It was only on leaving the theater that I decided the play was far more successful in its literate dialogue than in its emotionally overstuffed narrative. But in a season of wonderfully acted new straight plays in Chicagoland theater, this one still stands tall.
“The Mystery of Love & Sex” runs through July 2 at the Writers Gillian Theatre, 325 Tudor Court. Most performances are Tuesday through Friday at 7:30 p.m, Saturday at 3 and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2 and 6 p.m., with several Wednesday matinees at 3 p.m. Tickets are $35 to $80. Call 847 242 6000 or visit www.writerstheatre.org.
The show gets a rating of 3 stars.

Congress is working on major legislation that could result in a $3.5 trillion spending bill. Many House Committees are tasked to write different parts of the massive legislation. As part of that process, on September 10, 2021, the House Ways and Means Committee passed a $47 billion retirement savings bill.
The goal of the bill is to increase retirement savings - especially for low-income individuals. Government data indicates that one third of workers in the private sector currently do not have access to a retirement plan. Workers without access to retirement plans are those who are also most likely to be earning low wages in service industries who need assistance saving for retirement.
The new bill requires businesses that have been in existence for at least two years and have more than five employees to offer a workplace retirement plan.
For at least 15 years, Committee Chair Richard Neal (D-MA) has been proposing a provision requiring companies to create retirement plans. In...More

Six of the world’s largest multilateral development banks (MDBs) rounded up $81 billion last year to finance climate change action, their joint report released Tuesday showed.
“In 2015, the MDBs collectively committed more than USD 25 billion in climate finance,” the report worked out by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) together with African, European, Inter-American banks and the World Bank Group revealed.
Further $56 billion were contributed to MDBs’ projects by other investors, the Manila-based lender said. The banks have cumulatively financed over $131 billion in climate action since 2011.
The largest share of total funding went to non-EU countries in Europe and Central Asia, followed by South Asia and Latin America. Over $20 billion in MDBs financing was spent on the mitigation of adverse climate change impact.
The lenders pledged to increase their contribution to efforts of reducing greenhouse emissions and promoting clean energy ahead of the historic UN Climate Change Conference in Paris in November — December 2015.

The 2022 Federal Budget was released on April 7, 2022 and here is a recap of the changes that may affect you, below is a short review of some (not all) of the proposed changes
First-Time Home Buyers Tax-Free First Home Savings Account
The Tax-Free First Home Savings Account (FHSA) will give first-time home buyers the ability to save up to $40,000. Contributions to this account will be tax deductible—similar to the FTHB RRSP Plan. Amounts withdrawn to make a qualifying first home purchase won’t be subject to tax.
There is a $40,000 lifetime limit on contributions with an annual contribution limit of $8,000, which can not be carried forward to subsequent years unlike RRSP contribution room.
Remember the home buyers’ plan (HBP), which allows individuals to withdraw up to $35,000 tax free from an RRSP to purchase or build a home, will continue to be available.
However the policy reads that an individual will not be permitted to make both an FHSA withdrawal and an HBP withdrawal in respect of the same qualifying home purchase….so you are probably asking yourself why you would use the FHSA instead of RRSP?
Here is what you need to know….when you contribute to your RRSP’s you are reducing your personal income for that year and in most cases you generate a tax rebate for that year. When you use your RRSP’s for the purchase of your first home, you then have 15 year where you have to pay those funds back to your RRSP account or you will claim 1/15 of the withdrawl amount into your annual income each year for 15 years. If you want to avoid this and don’t want to repay this amount back into your RRSP then you can utilize the FHSA as this program allows you to transfer from your RRSP to your FHSA tax-free as long as those funds are used to purchase a qualifying home.
Further details are to come with contributions starting in 2023.
First-Time Home Buyer’s Tax Credit (HBTC)
For qualifying homes purchased on or after January 1, 2022, the First-Time Home Buyer’s Tax Credit is proposed to double—to $10,000. The increased credit would provide up to $1,500 in direct support to first-time home buyers. Spouses or common-law partners can split the value of the credit as long as the combined total doesn’t exceed $1,500 in tax relief. The HBTC eligibility requirements remain the same. Currently the credit is maxed out at $750 per person, therefore this is an increase.
Restrictions on foreign ownership
This budget announces the government’s intention to prohibit foreign entities and individuals from acquiring non-recreational, residential property in Canada for a period of two years.
These restrictions won’t apply to Canadian citizens, permanent residents, refugees, international students on the path to permanent residency (in certain circumstances), and individuals on work permits who are residing in Canada. Furthermore, non-resident, non-Canadians who own homes that are being underused or left vacant would be subject to the Underused Housing Tax once it’s in effect.
Home flipping measures after Jan 1, 2023
Any person who sells a residential property they’ve held for less than 12 months would be considered to be flipping properties and be subject to full taxation of their profits as deemed business income (i.e., instead of a capital gain) and the principal residence can’t be claimed.
Exemptions would apply for dispositions due to certain circumstances, which can include death, disability, serious illness, the birth of a child, change in employment or work location, insolvency, separation, or divorce.
What is not address is when the new rule doesn’t apply, are the profits taxed as business income. These anti-flipping measures will apply to residential properties sold on or after January 1, 2023.

APMdigest asked experts from across the industry – including consultants, analysts and the leading vendors – for recommendations on the best way to ensure application performance in the hybrid cloud. Part 4 covers tools that help you leverage performance data.
17. AUTOMATED ALERT CORRELATION
Hybrid cloud brings an unmatched level of fragmentation and complexity, compounded by modernization in application development - with the uptake of continuous delivery, infrastructure as code, containerization, and the use of micro-services. This exacerbates an already painful problem of the inability to scale manual processes for incident detection, investigation and collaboration in order to keep up with the growing volume of alerts. Automated alert correlation, that delivers enriched and actionable insight into incidents, is the need of the hour. This bridge between the gap of machine generated alerts and human understanding is the key to ensuring application performance with faster time to resolution.
Head of Product Marketing, BigPanda
18. SINGLE PANE OF GLASS
A solution that seamlessly monitors applications across hybrid environments is a necessity. Only a single pane of glass can equip IT teams with the insights they need to plan for capacity, release apps and to monitor applications that run on distributed production environments.
Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Riverbed
Create greater gravity around a single management console. Enterprises need to extend real-time performance analytics and IT efficiencies beyond conventional on-premise orthodoxies to include the public cloud resources while at the same time assuring service delivery quality and self-healing functions across conventional infrastructure silos.
VP of Marketing, Xangati
With both on-premises and cloud resources to manage in a hybrid IT environment, a monitoring toolset that quickly surfaces a single point of truth across those platforms is essential and will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of monitoring as a discipline. The normalization of utilization metrics, saturation alerts and error events from applications, regardless of their location, enables a more efficient approach to remediation, troubleshooting and optimization.
Head Geek, SolarWinds
19. ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
The most important word for organizations building out a hybrid cloud is "anticipation." Issues that threaten performance, security, and service availability are inevitable, and balancing the clear benefits of hybrid clouds — tailoring the solution to the need, lower costs, and improved manageability — are the challenges: hybrid clouds typically present a broader attack surface and have more PFPs ("Potential Failure Points") than less complex systems. Preparing for – rather than reacting to – these issues is cost effective and leads to a faster MTTR ("Mean Time To Resolution") for both performance and security issues. How? Enhancing monitoring and investigation capabilities, with a particular emphasis on forensics, the process of getting quickly to root cause. Application, network, and security forensics should all be in place and operational before a problem occurs, not after, for any organization building out a hybrid cloud.
20. DEPLOYMENT AUTOMATION FOR MULTIPLE OPEN SOURCE MONITORING APPS
Automation is the best way to ensure app performance in any hybrid cloud environment. Companies should look for solutions that can automate the deployment of a wide range of open source Big Data applications to allow for optimal flexibility in the use of application platforms. One such category of open source applications allows businesses to monitor application performance. This type of modern open source software and application monitoring technology can be supported on many different platforms, making it hybrid-cloud compatible. Automation eliminates the time consuming and error-prone manual system engineering of these open source distributed systems. Because different open source tools have different degrees of complexity, automation commoditizes this “heavy lifting” and allows a greater audience of perspective users to take advantage of more of these tools. Its no longer just the “big data elite” that can take advantage of all of the tools in the market today.
Managing Partner, Stackspace
21. VM LOAD BALANCING AND MONITORING
Virtual machines that are overloaded with traffic can't efficiently run applications in the hybrid cloud, leading to app lag times and performance delays. Load balancing tools can effectively distribute day traffic to VMs. and monitoring gives IT teams complete, easy visibility into the traffic on each VM, along with real-time reports on application delivery. By monitoring the traffic, you can eliminate any guesswork relative to app performance, wherever you're deploying.

Karan Singh Grover’s ex-wife Jennifer Winget speaks up on his wedding with Bipasha BasuNew Delhi: Karan Singh Grover and Bipasha Basu are all set to the tie the knot on April 30. The much in love couple just can’t hide their excitement and are seen posting romantic messages
New Delhi: Karan Singh Grover and Bipasha Basu are all set to the tie the knot on April 30.
The much in love couple just can’t hide their excitement and are seen posting romantic messages about each other.
While Karan seems to be head over heels in love with Bipasha, it is not the first time the ‘Alone’ actor is entering the nuptial bond.
Karan was first married to Shraddha Nigam and later took the vows with Jennifer Winget. In fact, Karan and Jennifer recently got divorced.
So when Jennifer was quizzed about KSG’s third wedding, the actress the best of wishes for her estranged hubby. “I wish them good luck, and a happy married life. I think they make an amazing couple. Marriage is a beautiful thing if two people work on it and want to be together. May God bless them. I feel love is an amazing thing, and if you can feel it for someone, it is great,” Jennifer told a leading daily.
Talking about her marriage with Karan, Jennifer stated that it was no less than a roller coaster ride. She said, “It was an experience, and an amazing roller-coaster ride. There were some happy and sad moments. But I know that I gave my 500% [to my marriage], and no one can point a finger at me. I don’t regret a single day of my life. But s**t happens. I don’t feel bitter or hold any grudges. I am in a happy space.”
Karan and Jennifer got married in April 2012, however, the two parted ways back in September last year and were divorced in February this year.

What is your favoriate FNP certification review book? I am currently preparing for my ANCC FNP exam. I bought a lot of books. Still think Fitzgerald one is the most practical one. However, a lot of contents that included in ANCC's review manual are not covered in her book. Her live review CDs cover even less. Jill E. Winland-Brown and Lynne M. Dunphy's book has tons of questions; however, most of the questions either too easy or not from a primary care's perspective.
Leik's book is the least comprehensive one.
What is your opinion?

There are multiple ways for a man in his 30s to have low testosterone.
All men in the West are experiencing plummeting testosterone levels due to:
1. Chronic stress levels - cortisol increases effecting test. production.
2. Diet - certain foods increase test. levels and many decrease test. levels. Examples of foods that decrease test. levels are foods that are sprayed heavily with pesticides; soy (this is a double whammy since they are heavily sprayed and contain xenoestrogen). Foods that increase test levels are cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower).
3. Plastic containers - again they contain xenoestrogen.
4. Lavender - reduces test. levels; found in just about every cologne/perfume out there.
5. Tea tree oil - reduces test. levels can cause gynecomastia in boys. Found in shampoos and shower gels.
6. Lack of sleep - reduces cortisol, increases growth hormone and test. levels.
7. Cancer - one of the early warning signs of testicular cancer is falling test. levels.
8. Depression - This will absolutely KILL test. levels.
9. Damage to the testes.
10. Lack of good fat - test. is made from cholesterol.
11. Cancer in general.
12. Too low calorie intake.
13. Too high calorie intake.
14. Traumatic brain injury.
I could go on but those are just a few.

Part of what I like about comics is that they’re faster and easier to read than most prose books. If I’m not in the mood or don’t have the brain power to stare at endless paragraphs, I can still enjoy a good story by picking up a comic and immersing myself in the colors and pictures. And it’s nice to get the satisfaction of finishing a book without having to expend energy I don’t have.
These comics, the ones on this list, are not those comics. These comics are doorstoppers: at least 300 pages long. That may not seem too long for a prose book, but for comics? It’s ridiculous. Consider that the average “floppy” nowadays is under 30 pages and that the average trade paperback rarely exceeds 200 pages. When that’s your standard, 300 pages attracts attention.
I’m not including omnibuses here: those collect a large number of issues from a single title and so can be very long, but they don’t generally tell a single, cohesive story. For this list, I stuck only with comics that use their massive page count to tell one self-contained adventure. I’m also sticking with comics you can read in a single volume. So, while comics like One Piece or DC Comics: Bombshells certainly exceed 300 pages, that is spread across multiple volumes, with each individual volume coming in at well under that number.
Why am I being so picky? For the novelty. Comics, as I said, historically tend towards brevity and serialization. Comics that buck the trend and push the format’s traditional boundaries by pushing out the page count are worth exploring, both for their daring and for the fact that these chunky graphic novels are sure to keep you occupied for a good long time!
A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel by Madeleine L’Engle and Hope Larson
You can now enjoy the classic tale of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin in illustrated format. When Meg and Charles Wallace’s scientist father goes missing, the children receive assistance from three magical guides — Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which, and Mrs. Whatsit — before embarking on a dangerous quest to bring him home.
The Mythology Class by Arnold Arre
With supernatural troublemakers overrunning the Earth, heroes of legend call upon ordinary, 20th century young people to help them fight back! This classic changed the face of the Philippine comics industry, as I’ve discussed before. It was originally published in the late ’90s, so not all of the jokes have aged gracefully. But if you enjoy sprawling fantasy adventures, you won’t find many better than this one. Be sure to check out the sequel, The Children of Bathala, out March 21.
The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
When combined, Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood and Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return runs to over 300 pages. This classic memoir shows what it was like for young Marjane growing up in Iran after the Islamic Revolution in the late 1970s severely curtailed women’s rights. As a teen, she attended school in Europe before returning to Iran — only to realize that she could no longer make a home for herself in the only nation she has ever truly called home.
DC: The New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke
Relive DC’s Silver Age with fresh eyes in this pulse-pounding, heartbreaking epic. Set in the 1950s, with the Korean War freshly over and the Vietnam War looming on the horizon, our heroes must grapple not only with the harsh realities of Cold War America — racism, distrust, an unwillingness to hear unpleasant truths — but with a legendary monster that threatens the entire planet. It’s one of the most exciting and emotional superhero sagas you’ll ever read.
Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons
Speaking of classic superheroes, many people consider Watchmen to be the best of the best. This dark mystery tale follows antihero Rorschach as he looks into the murder of the Comedian, a vigilante who worked for the government. His investigations uncover a conspiracy against all costumed crime-fighters. But are he and his fellow vigilantes already too late to stop a horrifying plot from unfolding?
I Want to Eat Your Pancreas: The Complete Manga Collection by Yoru Sumino and Idumi Kirihara
Like Persepolis, this was originally published in two parts but can now be bought in one volume. It follows the budding friendship between Sakura, a popular high school student, and the reserved classmate who accidentally discovers her darkest secret: she is dying of a pancreatic disease. From there, the duo’s friendship blossoms, but there is only one way their story can end.
Crisis on Infinite Earths by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez
When you’re rewriting the entire DC universe, you need a hefty page count. In this seminal series, heroes from multiple universes must band together to defeat a villain bent on destroying all of their worlds. Not every hero will survive the carnage that follows, but by working together, they might be able to ensure a future for at least one universe.
Mermaid Scales and the Town of Sand by Yoko Komori
Tokiko had always lived in the city, but after her parents separate, she is forced to move with her father to a small town by the ocean. She expected to confront certain challenges, like making new friends, but one thing she didn’t expect? Merfolk. Though others claim they don’t exist, Tokiko’s resurfaced memories say otherwise, and now it’s up to her to find out the truth.
