Clause 22: Powers of chairman to require production of evidence etc
52. This clause provides inquiries with statutory powers to compel evidence. The powers are exercisable by the chairman, but in a multi-member inquiry he will be exercising them on behalf of the panel. It is envisaged that most requests for information from an inquiry panel will not be made under clause 22. An inquiry panel will usually ask for information informally first, and experience from past inquiries has shown that the vast majority of informal requests will be complied with. There are three main scenarios in which powers of compulsion are likely to be used:
53. Clause 22(4) covers two reasons for which a person might refuse to comply with a notice issued under powers of compulsion. Subsection (4)(a) would cover circumstances when the person was unable to comply, for example, if he did not have the information being requested. Subsection (4)(b) is designed to cover situations in it would be unreasonable to expect a person to comply. For example, this might be because the difficulty, time or expense involved in providing the information would be so great that a person could not reasonably be expected to do so. For example, if an inquiry chairman gave a notice requesting that an organisation produce every document it had on a particular topic within two weeks, and the organisation would have to search through thousands of files to comply, the organisation might make a claim under clause 22(4)(b). The chairman would then consider, under clause 22(5), whether the public interest in obtaining the information within that timeframe outweighed the cost, bearing in mind how important the information was likely to be. He might choose to vary his notice by extending the deadline, narrowing the categories of information being asked for, or by specifying that the organisation only need to search certain sites for the information. Clause 22(4)(b) could also cover situations in which it would not be reasonable to expect a person to provide evidence because the evidence is unlikely to be of material assistance to an inquiry.
54. On occasion, it is possible that the evidence being requested will be an intercepted communication. To ensure that such material can be disclosed to the inquiry, there is an amendment in paragraph 21 of Schedule 2 to the Bill to ensure that this is permissible under section 18 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.
Clause 23: Privileged information etc
55. Clause 23(1) ensures that witnesses before inquiries will have the same privileges, in relation to requests for information, as witnesses in civil proceedings. In particular, this means that a witness will be able to refuse to provide evidence:
56. In some recent inquiries, the Attorney General has given undertakings along the following lines:
57. If such an undertaking was given, it would be difficult for an individual to refuse to answer certain questions by claiming the privilege against self-incrimination. As for subsection (1)(b), in certain circumstances European Community law may prevent a person from disclosing information to others. An example of this is article 30 of the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions, which is commonly known as the Banking Consolidation Directive.
58. Clause 23(2) provides expressly that it will be possible to make in an inquiry, as it is in civil proceedings, an assertion that documents or information should be withheld from the inquiry (or from public disclosure) on the grounds that they are immune from disclosure in the public interest ("public interest immunity" or PII). Such applications have been made to inquiries in the past, including the Bloody Sunday Inquiry, for example, on the grounds that disclosure of the information would be prejudicial to national security. The Government's policy on claiming PII is that Ministers will claim PII only when it is believed that disclosure would cause real damage or harm to the public interest and that this outweighs the public interest in open justice. A claim for PII should be made by the person whose duty it is to protect the information (which need not necessarily be the Crown) supported by evidence (usually in the form of a witness statement or ministerial certificate) that disclosure would cause real damage or harm to the public interest. It is then the responsibility of the inquiry panel, having viewed the documents or information, to balance the public interest in disclosure against the public interest in maintaining confidentiality. Having carried out that "balancing exercise", the inquiry must decide whether to uphold the claim for immunity and, if so, on what terms. The inquiry panel may decide that the information may be withheld, or that it be disclosed in whole or in part (after "redaction").
59. Clause 36(4) makes clear that a person who does not produce evidence to an inquiry because it is covered by clause 23 is not committing any of the offences created in that clause relating to distortion, suppression or destruction of evidence. In the case of a refusal to comply with an order of the inquiry on the ground that the evidence was covered by clause 23, this could also be relied on as a "reasonable excuse" under clause 36(1) for failure to comply with an order of the inquiry.
60. The House of Lords has recently made it clear in its decision in Three Rivers v Bank of England  UKHL 48 that legal advice privilege applies in relation to advice given to witnesses in the context of an inquiry. Such privilege extends to advice given about the presentation of evidence, since it is given within a relevant legal context. There is therefore no need for an express provision relating to the application of legal professional privilege to inquiries in the legislation.
Clause 24: Risk of damage to the economy
61. Although an application under clause 24 can be made only by those acting on behalf of the bodies specified (the Crown, Financial Services Authority or Bank of England), it can be made in respect of information held by any person. The inquiry panel will carry out a balancing exercise between the public interest in the information being revealed to the public and to other participants and the public interest in avoiding a risk of damage to the economy. If the inquiry panel considers that the public interest in avoiding the risk of damage to the economy outweighs the public interest in disclosure, it will be able to take this material into account in its deliberations but will not be able to refer to the material (or its existence) publicly. Clause 24 does not impact upon the general principles of public interest immunity, but exists in addition to them.
Clause 25: Submission of reports
62. Clause 25 places a duty on the chairman of an inquiry to report its conclusions to the Minister. If an inquiry has been brought to an end early under clause 15(1)(b), the chairman does not have to produce a report but he can do so if he wishes. In the unlikely event that a member of the inquiry panel disagrees with the general conclusions to such a great extent that no amount of modification under clause 25(5) will produce a report that he is content to sign, he can release himself from the obligation, under subsection (4), to sign it by resigning from the panel.
Clause 26: Publication of reports
63. Subsection (4)(a) would allow, for example, the person publishing the report to redact personal information (such as medical reports) as required by the Data Protection Act 1998. The factors that the person publishing the report must take into account, when considering whether any redaction is in the public interest under subsection (4)(b), are equivalent to those for restriction notices (see clause 20(4)), except for the references to cost, effectiveness and efficiency of the inquiry, which are no longer relevant in the context of reports.
64. The report published under clause 26 will be the same version required to be laid before the relevant Parliament or Assembly.
SCOTLAND, WALES AND NORTHERN IRELAND
65. This group of clauses deals with the respective powers of United Kingdom Ministers, of Scottish Ministers, of the National Assembly for Wales and of Northern Ireland Ministers to set up inquiries under this Bill. The Bill allows Ministers in each administration to set up inquiries in their administration's own areas of responsibility but contains limitations, set out in clauses 28 to 31, which reflect the terms of each devolution settlement.
Clause 28: United Kingdom Inquiries
66. This clause provides that a Minister setting up a United Kingdom inquiry cannot include anything in the terms of reference that would require the inquiry to receive any evidence or make any recommendations that are wholly or primarily concerned with a Scottish, Welsh or Northern Ireland matter without consulting the devolved administrations first. It is envisaged that UK Ministers will not usually set up inquiries into devolved matters without the agreement of the relevant devolved administration and that Ministers will consider whether a joint inquiry between the two administrations would be appropriate instead.
67. The clause also places similar constraints on the use of powers of compulsion into devolved matters. If the terms of reference covered devolved areas (and the Minister had therefore already consulted the devolved administration under subsection (2)), the Minister might also need to give the inquiry permission to use its powers of compulsion in all the devolved areas that would be covered by the terms of reference.
68. Even if the terms of reference mentioned only reserved areas (and no consultation had been necessary under subsection (2)), the panel might consider that it is necessary to take evidence on certain devolved matters in order to fulfil them. For example, suppose that a United Kingdom inquiry had been established to investigate an incident relating to gun control. The inquiry might need to take medical evidence from a Scottish hospital in relation to injuries caused. If the panel believes the evidence is relevant to its terms of reference, it is entitled to consider it, provided that the hospital is willing to provide it. Similarly (see clauses 29, 30 and 31 below) devolved inquiries are entitled to take evidence on reserved and excepted areas (except as prohibited by clause 31(7)) provided it is relevant to the terms of reference and is willingly given. However, there might be occasions when a person is unable or unwilling to provide evidence without a notice under clause 22, compelling him to do so. For United Kingdom inquiries, this is dealt with by clause 28(3). (A different approach is taken for the devolved administrations, and is described in the notes on clause 29.) The inquiry can apply to the Minister for permission to use its powers of compulsion in devolved areas. Before granting permission, the Minister would have to consult the devolved administration. It is envisaged that UK Ministers will not usually grant permission without the agreement of the relevant devolved administration.
69. Subsection (6) is needed to prevent a possible gap in coverage between the powers of inquiries set up by UK Ministers and by Northern Ireland Ministers, which arises out of the way in which "Northern Ireland matter" has been defined. This is explained in the notes on clause 31.
Clause 29: Scottish Inquiries
70. As explained above, a Scottish inquiry may take evidence on reserved matters, if the panel considers that it is relevant to the terms of reference. However, it cannot compel that evidence, except in so far as it is allowed by subsection (3). Subsection (3)(b) has the effect of allowing Scottish inquiries to compel evidence on reserved matters if this is for the purpose of inquiring into something that is wholly or primarily a Scottish matter. The reasons for this power are best illustrated by an example. Suppose that the Scottish Ministers were to establish an inquiry into the environmental effects of flooding in Scotland and that one of the causes of flooding in Scotland is the leakage of polluted water from coal mines. The inquiry might wish to compel the production of documents held by a coal mining company relating to the operation of the water pump in its coal mine. However, coal mining is a reserved matter (clause D3 of Part 2 of Schedule 5 to the Scotland Act 1998) and the documents are therefore concerned with a reserved matter. It would be difficult to say that a document prepared by a coal mine operator into the routine maintenance of its water pumps, which most likely would have been prepared long before the events giving rise to public concern occurred and without any anticipation of the events that occurred, were wholly or primarily concerned with the devolved matter of environment.
71. However, it would not be possible for a Scottish inquiry to compel evidence under subsection (3)(b) from any member of the United Kingdom Government (including Government Ministers and the Departments acting on their behalf), or of the other administrations, because of the prohibition in subsection (4).
Clause 30: Welsh inquiries
72. The provisions on Welsh inquiries mirror those on Scottish inquiries as explained above.
Clause 31: Northern Ireland Inquiries
73. The provisions on Northern Ireland inquiries are similar to those on Scottish inquiries described above, but reflect the differing circumstances of Northern Ireland and its devolution settlement.
74. The definition of "Northern Ireland matter" in clause 31(8) covers some reserved matters in relation to which Northern Ireland Ministers have functions (see paragraph (b)), as well as transferred matters. However, clause 31(6) creates some exceptions to the circumstances in which Northern Ireland inquiries can exercise their powers of compulsion in relation to those matters, in order to make the scope of inquiries' powers equivalent to the scope of the Northern Ireland Assembly's powers to summon witnesses and compel evidence. Since those exceptions are in clause 31(6), rather than in the definition of "Northern Ireland matter", clause 28(6) is needed to ensure that they are not also excluded from the scope of inquiries established by United Kingdom Ministers.
75. In addition to the general restrictions on terms of reference and powers of compulsion, subsection (7) provides that an inquiry established by a Northern Ireland Minister must not receive evidence or make any recommendations on matters falling within paragraph 17 of Schedule 2 to the Northern Ireland Act 1998, which deals with national security.
76. Whilst there is a suspension of devolved government in Northern Ireland, functions conferred on a Northern Ireland Minister may be discharged by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, by virtue of clause 46.
Clause 32: The relevant part of the United Kingdom and the applicable rules
77. Subsection (1) provides that when an inquiry is set up, the Minister or Ministers who established it must specify what is "the relevant part of the United Kingdom" for the purposes of those provisions of the Bill that use this expression. This will determine, for example, which law on privilege will apply and which court should have the powers to enforce orders of the inquiry (see clause 23(2)). It will not necessarily correspond to the administration setting up the inquiry. For example, if a United Kingdom Ministers were to establish an inquiry into a reserved matter in Scotland, which conducted its hearings mainly in Scotland, it would make sense for the relevant part of the United Kingdom to be Scotland. The relevant part of the United Kingdom will usually be the part in which the inquiry is being held, but it is possible that an inquiry may have several venues so for clarity it is important that the Minister or Ministers specify which part it is to be.
78. Subsection (2) applies (typically) where there is an inquiry involving two administrations each of which has made rules under the power conferred by clause 42. It requires the Ministers responsible for the inquiry to specify which set of rules is to apply. For example, in the case of a joint inquiry set up by a United Kingdom Minister and the Scottish Ministers, the Ministers might specify the rules made by the Lord Chancellor or the rules made by the Scottish Ministers, or some of each. Subsection (4), on the other hand, gives power to a United Kingdom Minister setting up an inquiry into non-devolved matters in, say, Scotland to specify not only that the relevant part of the United Kingdom is Scotland but also that some or all of the rules applicable to the inquiry are to be rules made by the Scottish Ministers.
INQUIRIES FOR WHICH MORE THAN ONE MINISTER RESPONSIBLE
Clause 33: Joint Inquiries
79. In practice, this clause would probably be used in situations where the subject matter of the inquiry fell within the responsibilities of more than one Minister). For example, the Victoria Climbi, inquiry was established by the Home Secretary and the Secretary of State for Health. Sometimes, a joint inquiry might involve Ministers from more than one administration. For example, if devolution had been in place at the time of the Dunblane inquiry, which related both the firearms (a reserved issue) and safety in schools (a devolved one), the Scottish and UK Ministers might have chosen to set up a joint inquiry. Inquiries involving more than one administration are dealt with in more detail in the next clause.
Clause 34: Inquiries involving more than one jurisdiction
80. This clause applies specifically to joint inquiries for which the responsibility is shared between two (or more) administrations - for example a joint inquiry set up by a United Kingdom Minister and the Welsh Assembly, or even a joint inquiry set up by the Scottish Ministers and the Northern Ireland Assembly. (The wording of subsection (1) reflects the fact that there are several United Kingdom Ministers and several Northern Ireland Ministers, whereas the Scottish Ministers and the National Assembly for Wales are each a single legal entity.)
81. This clause sets out how the restrictions on terms of reference and powers of compulsion will work. Subsection (2) means that the terms of reference of the joint inquiry can cover matters that any one of the relevant Ministers would be able to establish an inquiry into. For example, the terms of reference of a joint inquiry established by Scottish Ministers and the National Assembly for Wales could require the inquiry to receive evidence or make recommendations that are wholly a primarily concerned with a Welsh or Scottish matter, but not on anything else. The terms of reference of a joint inquiry established by United Kingdom Ministers and Scottish Ministers could require the inquiry to receive evidence or make recommendations about anything not wholly concerned with a Welsh or Northern Ireland matter, and could extend to Welsh and Northern Ireland matters only if the UK Minister had first consulted the relevant administrations. The restrictions on powers of compulsion will operate in the same way.
Clause 35: Change of responsibility for inquiry
82. This clause might be used if it became clear, during the course of the inquiry, that its focus was more properly within the responsibilities of a Minister other than the commissioning Minister. For example, if a United Kingdom Minister had established an inquiry into events in Scotland that was expected to examine primarily reserved matters, and it subsequently became clear that there were significant implications for devolved matters, the establishing Minister might agree with the Scottish Ministers to share responsibility for the inquiry, making it an inquiry to which clause 34 applied. This clause might also be used to pass responsibility for an inquiry from one Minister to another within the same administration.
Clause 36: Offences
83. This clause provides sanctions for non-compliance with an inquiry, or for actions that are likely to hinder the inquiry. The offences created are similar to some of those created by section 250 of the Local Government Act 1972, which have been applied to a number of different types of inquiry in the past, including some under powers being repealed by this Bill.
84. The offences created in this clause are summary offences and would be dealt with by magistrates (or, in Scotland, in the Sheriff or District Court). The maximum penalty given is the maximum for summary offences. Level three on the standard scale is currently £1000 (but see clause 40 of the Management of Offenders and Sentencing Bill introduced in the House of Lords on 12th January 2005). The maximum term of imprisonment for summary offences is currently six months, but it will be extended to 51 weeks in England and Wales once section 281(5) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 is commenced. Clause 45(3) ensures that the maximum term will be read as six months before that section is commenced.
85. In particular clause 36(1) makes it an offence to fail, without a reasonable excuse, to comply with a formal notice requiring attendance at the inquiry or the production of evidence. Subsections (2) and (3) go wider, making it an offence to deliberately distort or conceal relevant evidence. These clauses are drafted in such a way that it should not be possible for a person to commit an offence unwittingly (for example, by destroying a document that he does not realise is relevant). Subsection (4) ensures that a person does not commit an offence under subsection (2) or (3) if he is withholding evidence because he is allowed to do so by clause 23 or, for example, if the evidence is covered by legal professional privilege. Subsection (4) also ensures that offences for suppressing or distorting evidence do not cover actions authorised by the panel (for example conducting a forensic test on a piece of evidence). The fact that the evidence was covered by clause 23 or a privilege could also be relied on as a "reasonable excuse" under subsection (1).
86. In England and Wales and Northern Ireland, only the chairman can institute a prosecution for non-compliance with a notice issued under powers of compulsion. This is because it is for the chairman to decide whether to enforce notices issued under his powers of compulsion, and how best to do this. He has two possible options: prosecution for an offence under clause 36 or enforcement of the notice by the appropriate court under clause 37. It is considered to be undesirable for someone else to be able to begin a prosecution under clause 36 when the chairman has decided instead to certify the matter to the High Court (or equivalent) under clause 37.
87. Prosecutions for offences under subsection (2) and (3) may be brought only by or with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This serves to ensure that it is not open to those with an interest in the outcome of the inquiry to bring private prosecutions against witnesses with whose evidence they disagree. It also ensures that prosecutions can be brought after the inquiry has ended (which would not be the case if the chairman had to bring them). Some offences of this nature might come to light only after the end of an inquiry. In Scotland, prosecution of any offence is the responsibility of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.
88. This clause provides for an appropriate court (the High Court or Court of Session) to enforce notices issued under powers of compulsion, restriction notices and any orders of the inquiry, including restriction orders. Where a person breaches a notice or order, or threatens to do so, the chairman of the inquiry (or the Minister, after the end of the inquiry) can certify the matter to the court, which can then take steps to enforce the order. This is similar to the mechanism that would have been used to enforce orders issued under the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921.
89. In the case of notices issued under powers of compulsion in clause 22, enforcement by the appropriate court is an alternative mechanism to prosecution, and could be used in cases where a prosecution might not be the best method of obtaining the relevant evidence. However, the court could also be asked to enforce a wider range of orders, for example, to prevent someone revealing the name of a witness whose identity was covered by a restriction order. This example could occur after the end of an inquiry, when the chairman is no longer in a position to certify the matter to the court, so clause 37 provides for the Minister to certify matters to the court after the end of the inquiry.

I rolled over and stared into the darkness and allowed my thoughts to flow. My thoughts bounced back and forth between acknowledging anxiety and focusing on the present moment. I felt guilty for feeling anxious because I know that what is most important is what is right in front of me, and if I am experiencing anxiety that means I am focusing/worrying about what's ahead and not what is "right now". So I laid there, feeling anxious and guilty and a little sticky because I didn't turn my air conditioning down last night, thinking that the breeze from the storm would cool the house down, but it didn't. I closed my eyes and I asked myself, "why? why are you anxious???" I was taken back to a conversation I had over the weekend with a friend. We were discussing tattoos when she said, "I don't understand why people get quotes and sayings as tattoos. Maybe you like that quote today, but ten years down the road, your life may have changed and that will be completely irrelevant to you." Well, being someone who has a script tattoo, I shared the reasoning behind my decision.
"In some cases, I believe that people get certain tattoos, most specifically script, because they want to remember what it meant to them in that moment. I got a tattoo last year that was specific to where I was in my life at that time. I am not in that place in my life anymore, but I don't want to forget what I felt and what I was going through when I got it, because the memory of that time and the lessons I learned are what have carried me along."
The tattoo is a scripture that I kept coming back to whenever I felt overwhelmed with worry and anxiety. Last year, around this time I had just lost my job, I could no longer afford my apartment, I was in an unhealthy and unstable relationship, I had plenty of clothes but could only fit my leggings, t-shirts, and a few select maxi-dresses (really anything that would stretch or had some breathing room), and I was having great interviews but I couldn't get a job. Actually, let me clarify the last statement... I had been offered a couple of jobs soon after being let go from my previous, but I turned them down. From the outside looking in, I know it looked like a crazy and irresponsible decision, and sometimes on the inside it felt that way. I made different excuses for why I turned those jobs down, but what it really came down to for me was this: I had to trust my gut. I wanted those jobs, but something was just telling me "NO" and I couldn't shake it. So, I took a huge step in trusting my gut and I declined the jobs. I had to trust that I would be taken care of, even when things made no sense... and I was- I was taken care of. I spent a lot of time with myself, in reflection and meditation. My friends and family reached out in many ways on many occasions, and I was taken care of. I had a roof over my head, food in my kitchen (most of the time), and plenty of love and support. So when I look at my tattoo, I am reminded that faith and trust will get me much further than worry and anxiety. I am reminded that everyday, I am growing. I am reminded that everyday, I am taken care of. And I am reminded that everyday, what I have is the very moment in front of me...the now.
So, while I am not so righteous as to deny that I ever feel anxious or worried, I am reminded today that while I may not feel awesome, I am awesome and I have no reason to dwell on feeling worried and anxious...and the same goes for you. Happy Monday :)

Veteran performers and recording artists Jimmy Dillon and Lorin Rowan have been playing music for many years, and now they rejoin forces with a group of talented singers and players to form San Francisco Music Club. Their new album, titled "Love and Freedom", is a journey through the back roads of some of the great music traditions and cultures in the US, Caribbean, and Africa. The group’s official CD release party will be held at the legendary Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, California on May 5th, 2012, and will feature a myriad of guest performances by some very talented musicians.
The San Francisco Music Club, led by Dillon and Rowan (who were founding members of Marin County’s own The Edge), have now transformed their high energy rock/reggae sound into an exciting and colorful cross pollination of styles and genres; a world music experience that draws from Afro-Cuban/Hi-Life, funky New Orleans grooves, R&B, and classic Jamaican roots music reminiscent of Bob Marley & The Wailers or Toots and the Maytals. Think Paul Simon’s Graceland with an extra helping of Red Beans and Rice, a side of Gumbo, and a Red Stripe. 21st Century Americana meets Contemporary Rock!
Paul Liberatore from the Marin Independent Journal says “Dillon and Rowan are consummate singers and guitarists with a long and impressive history in Marin, but they chose to identify with San Francisco in their band name to give their ensemble a broad appeal. For this new venture, they've brought in bassist Eric McCann, drummer Matt Willis, Michael Peloquin on saxophone and harmonica, Jeff Lewis on trumpet and percussion and singer Sakai. This is a crack band comfortable in the variety of styles showcased on this sparkling San Francisco Music Club debut CD, a culturally rich, exquisitely produced and finely polished album that gives world music an accessible, fresh and fun new sound.”
The San Francisco Music Club brings to the stage an explosive rock-steady rhythm section with fiery guitar interplay, sax & trumpet wrapping around the soulful vocals of Dillon’s baritone growl and Rowan’s clear tenor, along with special female guest singer Sakai who has worked with Train, Stevie Wonder and Santana.
Dillon and Rowan are no strangers to the big stages across the world. Dillon has performed and recorded with Clarence Clemons, Bruce Springsteen, John Lee Hooker, BB King, and Sting and has toured extensively in Europe. He also wrote “Ascension of the Blues”, a critically acclaimed musical that was the original inspiration for the San Francisco Music Club concept, along with his and Rowan’s desire to take their former Marin County Rock/Reggae band The Edge into a wider international musical experience. Rowan is a Grammy award winning songwriter and longtime member of The Rowan Brothers (Peter & Chris) and has worked with Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Steve Miller, Levon Helm, Little Feat, David Grisman and Stephane Grapelli, and has toured internationally as well. Together these two and their band of monster musicians bring a fresh sound to what some would consider an “old” scene. They bring people to their feet, and get the crowd dancing from the first note.
“Love and Freedom” will be available physically on May 5th, 2012 in retail stores and online retailers everywhere. The digital version of the album will be available on iTunes and other digital retailers on May 22nd, 2012.

Token Talk - Episode 11 - "Public Education Options - Too Cruel for Schools"
For this back to school episode we chat with a passionate public school teacher and a seasoned charter school principal to discuss why Public Schools in Jackson, Mississippi are under-funded and often racially divided by a community who would choose (and fund) to send their kids to private schools elsewhere. The token guys cover what it's like teaching in a predominantly black school in Mississippi with limited resources and whether our MS kids, regardless of public or charter school, are prepared academically and socially for life.


Businesses that own or operate an underground storage tank (UST) system in a state whose UST program does not have "state program approval" status from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are subject to enhanced requirements as of April 12, 2016.
Specifically, all newly installed or replaced tanks and piping must have secondary containment with interstitial monitoring, according to EPA. But if the piping is safe suction piping, that piping does not require secondary containment and interstitial monitoring, EPA says. Suction piping is considered "safe" if it:
(i) is below-grade piping that operates under atmospheric pressure;
(ii) slopes enough that the product in the pipe can drain back into the tank when suction is released; and
iii) has only one check valve, which is as close as possible beneath the pump in the dispensing unit.
In addition, pressurized piping in these states without state program approval status must continue to have an automatic line leak detector. The states and territories without program approval affected by the April 12 deadline are: New York, New Jersey, Florida, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Arizona, California, Alaska, Guam, Samoa, and Northern Mariana Island. The other 38 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico each have approved programs and thus may be subject to different requirements.
These enhanced requirements emanate from a final EPA rule released last summer. NATSO's detailed memorandum summarizing this rule is available here.
More information on these requirements is also available from EPA here. Click on the link titled "Operating and Maintaining Underground Storage Tanks."

Denver, Colorado's CLINGING TO THE TREES OF A FOREST FIRE has set "Songs of Ill Hope and Desperation" as the title of its upcoming debut album, due this spring via Prosthetic Records. The CD was recorded by Dave Otero at Flatline Audio (CEPHALIC CARNAGE, CATHETER, COBALT) in the band's hometown and is said to be the group's "most dynamic, bleakest, and dirtiest material to date."
Formed in 2006, CLINGING TO THE TREES OF A FOREST FIRE released an EP ("Harmonies From Bleeding Mouths") and followed it up with a full-length effort, "Omega Drunk On The Blood Of Alpha", in 2008 on Debello Recordings. The band's sound has been described as "funeral grind," as it's "too slow for grindcore, too fast for doom," and has been compared to that of the likes of BRUTAL TRUTH, PIG DESTROYER, DISCORDANCE AXIS, EYEHATEGOD and NAPALM DEATH.
CLINGING TO THE TREES OF A FOREST FIRE has toured relentlessly throughout North America since forming, and is currently planning a summer trek with Oregon's BURIALS.

Dan Rogerson wants to make the most of Vodaphone’s ‘Rural Open Sure Signal’ programme which is offering 100 rural villages the chance to benefit from improved 3G mobile phone signal. Certainly, most rural villages down here need some help. The mobile signal is often dire. My son is with Vodafone, ironically, and cannot even send texts from Bude!
The programme is designed to help residents and businesses in communities that have poor mobile phone signal and will see alternative technology used to boost phone and mobile internet reception without the need for a traditional phone mast.
Several ‘sure signal’ boxes installed across a community would utilise local broadband connections to make a strong 3G Vodaphone phone signal available.
Dan Rogerson MP wants to hear from local people who are keen to improve mobile phone signal in their area to get in touch with him, so that they can work together to submit an application to the scheme.
Commenting, Dan Rogerson said:
“A decent 3G signal would allow people to make phone calls, as well as check emails and browse the internet on their phones, and would be a huge benefit for residents and local businesses. That’s why I am keen to work with local people to submit bids to this Rural Open Sure Signal programme.
“The scheme has been a huge success in 12 trial areas, so if your village has problems with mobile phone signal and you would like to discuss how we can work together to put in a bid to be one of 100 rural communities that are set to benefit from this scheme, please contact me on firstname.lastname@example.org.”

Britain’s maternity mortality scandal: New mums in UK are THREE times more likely to die than those in Norway… and out of eight prosperous European nations, only Slovakia has worse maternal death rates, study shows
- Comparison of high-income European countries found only Slovakia was worse
- Analysis showed heart disease and suicide were the leading causes of death
- Half of the UK deaths occurred in the 12 months following birth, research shows
- Some 229 mothers died alongside 27 of their babies between 2018 and 2020
Mothers in the UK are over three times more likely to die during pregnancy or within a year of giving birth than in Norway, a study reveals.
A comparison of eight high-income European countries found only Slovakia had worse rates of maternal deaths.
Analysis of more than two million UK births showed heart disease and suicide were the leading causes of death among new mothers, suggesting that rising obesity and mental health issues are to blame.
Yet in more than half of cases in Britain, doctors are failing to record links to maternity on death certificates, obscuring the full scale of the crisis, the researchers suggest.
Half of the UK deaths occurred in the 12 months following birth, pointing to shortcomings in postnatal care.
It follows a report last week that the number of women who died up to six weeks after having a baby has leapt by a quarter in five years.
Some 229 mothers died alongside 27 of their babies between 2018 and 2020, with many of the deaths ‘avoidable’. A further 289 women died between six weeks and a year later.
A comparison of eight high-income European countries found only Slovakia had worse rates of maternal deaths
The latest findings come from an international team of researchers, including Oxford University academics, who examined data on millions of live births across Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia and the UK.
Rates of death among mothers in pregnancy and up to 42 days after the birth varied from 2.7 per 100,000 live births in Norway to 10.9 in Slovakia, with the UK second worst at 9.6.
Only the UK and France held data on so-called late maternal deaths – those up to 12 months after giving birth.
They accounted for half of all UK maternal deaths and a quarter of France’s, at 19.1 and 10.8 deaths per 100,000 respectively.
Heart disease and suicide were the leading causes of death, with blood clots also ranking highly among UK mothers.
Youngest and oldest mothers were at particular risk, along with those born abroad or from ethnic minority backgrounds.
The findings, published in the BMJ, suggest rising obesity levels are taking their toll, with experts warning it has become one of the most commonly occurring risk factors in obstetric practice.
Some 21.3 per cent of the antenatal population are obese and just 47.3 per cent have a body mass index (BMI) within the normal range, according to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
Pregnant women who are obese are at greater risk of pregnancy-related complications compared with women of normal BMI, including pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes.
Researchers said the high level of cardiovascular deaths – which can be linked to diabetes and high blood pressure – partly explained why risk was higher in older women.
They also called for more to be done to tackle mental health issues, with serious conditions including psychosis known to increase in pregnancy.
Half of the UK deaths occurred in the 12 months following birth, pointing to shortcomings in postnatal care (stock image)
Professor Andrew Shennan, of King’s College London, said it was vital deaths were properly monitored so they could shape policy.
He added: ‘All countries should have a dedicated surveillance system. [This] will allow strategies and policy makers to direct efforts appropriately.’
Sara Ledger, from childbirth charity Baby Lifeline, said: ‘This research is yet another reminder that there needs to be a focus on improving maternal health.
‘Children shouldn’t be left motherless, particularly when different care could make the life-saving difference.’
A Department of Health spokesman said: ‘We have already invested £127million into the maternity system to boost the workforce and improve care.
‘NHS England has published guidance to reduce disparities and improve maternity outcomes, supported by £6.8million of investment – alongside commissioning specialist networks run by midwives and experts so women can access care for chronic medical problems around pregnancy.’
Sally Ashton-May, director of midwifery policy and practice at the Royal College of Midwives, said: ‘It is deeply concerning that the number of maternal deaths in the UK is going in the wrong direction, and every number represents a family missing a partner, a mother, a daughter.
‘We already know how to address the issue – more midwives, better training for specialist support – what we need now is the Government commitment to make the change we so desperately need to see.
‘The RCM has been telling successive governments, in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, what they need to do for years.
‘By their inaction, their lack of investment in maternity services, they are failing women and failing staff who are desperate to deliver the safest possible care and deeply frustrated that they cannot.
‘This must change and quickly to support women and to stop this tragic upward trend in preventable deaths.’

InWin has just introduced additions to its product portfolio for PC enthusiasts. First up are the compact A3 and A5 cases, and then there are the AM120S silent ARGB fans.
Compact boxes for your ideal configuration
Pursuing a modern, minimalist design based on the InWin A1 series, the new A3 and A5 chassis present new opportunities to maximize hardware compatibility while retaining the smallest footprints. Both boxes support high-end graphics cards up to 340mm long, high-efficiency ATX power supplies up to 200mm long, and include space for multiple 2,5″ and 3,5″ storage devices. Such boxes allow up to five fans to be installed in a bottom-to-top airflow.
240mm AIO liquid cooling radiators can be placed on top. Its compact size, vertical airflow design, upgrade options, and modern design aesthetics combine to present a standard for a premium PC build.
Its tinted tempered glass side panel has a screwless quick release button, for quick and easy access to internal hardware. Gold details and InWin logo provide a design contrast. Top and side panels, along with the lower air cleaner, feature screwless removal designs for easy internal access and cleaning.
Front panel USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C ports, and other connectivity includes two USB 3.1 Gen-1 Type-A (5 Gbps) and 3,5mm HD headphone and microphone jacks. InWin equips the A3 and A5 with ekll slim Mercury AM120S PWM fan with ARGB lighting, to give users excellent cooling performance and attractive lighting right out of the box.
The Mercury AM120S silent fan arrives at the InWin catalog

It operates at just 17 dBA, which is less noise than a silent conversation. At its maximum airflow, it is capable of achieving a static pressure of over 60 CFM and 2,72 mm/H2O at just 29 dBA. This results are comparable to other standard size fans, despite being housed in a more compact casing. Multiple units of this fan can be connected together using the 'Lock-N-Go' extension cable for convenient and user-friendly cable management, which together with a non-slip buckle, stays securely in place.
The Mercury AM120S includes ARGB lighting that illuminates outwards from the center of the fan.

Former minister of the Federal Capital Territory and Interim Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressive Congress APC , Mr. Nasir El-Rufai, has finally reported for questioning at the offices of the State Security Service, SSS.
The APC chieftain arrived the Yellow House Headquarters of the SSS at the early hours of Monday in company of some party chieftains including Senator Chris Ngige and Rivers State Governor Chubuike Amaechi.
El-Rufai’s residence was stormed last Friday by the agency operatives who sought to arrest him for interrogation in connection with alleged incisive comments made by him that there will be violence in Nigeria in 2015 if the elections are rigged.
The controversial ex-FCT minister tactically evaded arrest that day, demanding for a warrant of arrest from a court of competent jurisdiction as a condition for him to honour the invitation. The agency announced over the weekend that it has a warrant of arrest on the APC chieftain.
Sources told Newsinvestigators that upon arrival at the Yellow House, only El Rufai was allowed into the office as his party members who were with him on solidarity were denied entry at the premises of the DSS.


A decade ago, speakeasies were all the rage. Then these riffs on Prohibition-era cocktail lounges (with unmarked doors and passcodes for entry) practically disappeared. Some remained open—like The Blind Barber and Please Don’t Tell, both in New York City—but others quickly shuttered. Recent bar openings flaunt a speakeasy theme again—but with a new twist. They are showy and designed to impress but also feature layers that aren’t always visible the minute you walk in.
Last month's opening of The Barbershop at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is one example. With mismatched furnishings and an authentic 1800s Brunswick bar from Kentucky, “we avoided that new cool feeling and went with a warm, vintage, homey, lived-in feel,” says Clique Hospitality co-owner Jason ‘JRoc’ Craig (with Ryan Labbe), which operates the bar.
At the Barbershop, anything goes, including whiskey or beer on tap, with an intentional effort to separate from the classic craft-cocktail scene. “It’s a straight-up saloon,” says Labbe, “for lack of a better term.”

What is the blockchain according to Bill Tai? The internet. The blockchain is the same thing but with assets. It can aggregate history into groups of information with communities of interests surrounding it. CEO of ABRA, Bill Barydt. ABRA has recently partnered with the extremely well known American Express. ABRA is a digital currency wallet for IOS and Android. It allows you to store digital dollars on your smartphone with no bank involved. It is the only application that interoperates between the traditional and the new worlds. The third guest was Toni Lane Casserly, founder of Vnation.io. The idea? To leverage core innovation made by Blockchain infrastructure so that people can design new systems of governance. Next was Kevin Shen from Averon with a goal to make sure people aren’t forgetting they are secure on that side. Lastly, on the legal end of the blockchain was Pawel Kuskowski from Coinfirm. Coinfirm serves as a foundation for the safe adoption and use of blockchain.

Campsites in Benidorm
Benidorm has some of the best campsites in Spain and it’s easy to see why so many people continue to choose Benidorm as their favourite camping destination. Benidorm campsites are a great option for those looking at either a holiday home or for those looking to live on a campsite full time as all Benidorm campsites are open 12 months of the year and cater primarily for British ex-pats. Living on a campsite in Benidorm has become extremely popular over the last 10 years due to the great campsite communities, cheap site fees (by comparison to UK campsites) and of course..SUN!
Benidorm has 9 campsites to choose from and each one offers something different. On campsites such as Camping Villamar & Camping Raco, you’ll find mainly touring caravans with awnings and on campsites such as Camping Almafra and Camping Benidorm you’ll find mainly static caravans and mobile homes.
Camping Almafra is a 5 star camping resort situated in-between Benidorm and Albir.
Camping Almafra Campsite in Benidorm is a perfect choice for those that prefer to be close to not one resort but two! Situated just on the outskirts of both Benidorm and Albir and next to the tram station of L’alfas del pi, Camping Almafra is a great location for exploring the Costa Blanca. Camping Almafra is the only 5 star campsite in the Benidorm area.
Camping Arena Blanca is a quieter campsite, situated the Rincon de Loix area of Benidorm.
Camping Arena Blanca Campsite in Benidorm is perfect for those that want to kick back and enjoy a more relaxed way of life in the sun. With many retirees already on site, Camping Arena Blanca would suit those that are are looking for a Benidorm campsite with a smaller community and great proximity to Benidorm.
Camping Armanello is a modern campsite, situated close to central Benidorm.
Camping Armanello Campsite in Benidorm is one of the newest campsites to be built in the Benidorm area and takes a modern approach to both it’s camping experience and campsite facilities. Camping Armanello can be a lively campsite during the summer months due to it’s proximity to central Benidorm but very much low key during the winter months, with many ex-pats choosing this campsite as their base.
Camping Benidorm is a well established campsite with a fantastic bar, situated in the area of Benidorm known locally as ‘Campsite Corner’.
Camping Benidorm Campsite in Benidorm is one of the original Benidorm campsites. Over the last few year Camping Benidorm has become famed for it’s on-site bar area which boasts regular live music days and a weekly market. Camping Benidorm is mostly occupied by mobile homes, making it a great place for permanent living. Camping Benidorm occupies a fantastic position on ‘Campsite Corner’, in-between the campsites of Camping Villamar and Camping Arena Blanca.
Camping Benisol is a great campsite with fantastic pool area, situated close to the famous El Cisne market in Benidorm.
Camping Benisol Campsite in Benidorm is a great choice for those that don’t want to be directly in the hub of Benidorm but close enough should you want to venture out. Situated en-route (with close transport links) to the towns of Albir, Altea & L’alfas del pi the campsite would be ideal for those that like to get out and explore.
Camping La Torreta is a small campsite situated closest to the Levante beach area of Benidorm.
Camping La Torreta Campsite in Benidorm is a great campsite for tourers, larger caravans and fifth wheels. Situated just behind Benidorm Palace and Benidorm Circus, the campsite has become popular for those that want to be closer to the action and all that Benidorm has to offer. Camping La Torreta is one of the smaller campsites in Benidorm but some people prefer this as you’ll find a more personal camping experience and close campsite community.
Camping Raco is one of the largest campsites in Benidorm with a unique mix of both British and Dutch ex-pats.
Camping Raco Campsite in Benidorm is a huge touring caravan campsite, situated in the Rincon de loix area of Benidorm. This area is especially popular with British ex-pats due to the large number of British bars and restaurants on the doorstep of the campsite. Camping Raco has superb facilities and an on-site camping shop, regarded as one of the best places to buy groceries in the area.
CAMPING VILLAMAR – BENIDORM
Camping Villamar is probably the most well known of all the Benidorm campsites.
Camping Villamar Campsite in Benidorm set the benchmark when it came to year round living on a campsite in Benidorm. A stunning outdoor pool area combined with a popular campsite clubhouse makes Camping Villamar the first choice for many ex-pats looking at a Spanish campsite to place their caravans. Occupied primarily by British ex-pats, Camping Villamar has grown over the years to accomodate its popularity and now sees it stand side by side with Camping Raco as one of the largest campsites in Benidorm.
Camping Villasol is a camping resort in Benidorm with a fantastic pool area and only 5 minutes walk to the British area of Benidorm.
Camping Villasol Campsite in Benidorm has undergone a change of identity in recent years and is now more commonly known as Camping Villasol Camping Resort. This campsite has the perfect blend of both long term stays and holiday makers which would make it an ideal campsite to choose for those that still enjoy the campsite vibe of the summer coupled with a low key winter season. Camping Villasol has a year round entertainment programme and is only a short stroll from the British area of Benidorm (for those that like to get involved in the Benidorm nightlife!).
WHY CHOOSE A CAMPSITE IN BENIDORM?
All of the Benidorm campsites are open 12 months of the year and suprisingly (or not) winter is usually our busiest period as this is when we see many of the long term residents come back for the cooler months of the year. We’re fortunate to have our very own ‘micro climate’, with over 300 days of sunshine each year!
Location of Benidorm Campsites
Most of the campsites in Benidorm are situated in an area most commonly known amongst the locals as ‘Campsite Corner’. Campsite Corner can be found in the Rincon de Loix area of Benidorm (which is an area especially popular for British ex-pats), with plenty of British owned bars & restaurants, aswell as the ever popular Iceland British supermarket. The location of all Benidorm campsites can be viewed here.
Campsite Site Fees
Campsite site fees in Benidorm can cost much less than a campsite in the UK with equivalent facilities (and you can use the caravan all year round!) With a favourable exchange rate, the yearly site fees can cost as little as £4,000 per year and are inclusive of water and UKTV connection on most of the campsites. The only additions would be use of gas and electricity with electric use charged on a meter basis at approximately 0.39 – 0.45€ per kw and gas provided by the bottle at approximately 16€ per bottle. Site fees on each Benidorm campsite differ due to varying factors such as plot size, annual discount terms and whether or not an amount of electricity is included in the price. As an example: Camping Almafra Campsite site fees are 4,500.00€ annually but they don’t include an allowance of electricity. Camping Raco Campsite on the other hand charge a daily price (to be paid monthly) at 5,767.00€ with a 2kw allowance of electricity. All Campsite site fees for campsites in Benidorm can be viewed here.
Benidorm campsite facilities are second to none and you’ll find that most Benidorm campsites have an indoor and outdoor pool, supermarket, hairdressers, childrens playground and most importantly – a clubhouse or bar area for enjoying those lazy afternoons!. Most of the campsites in the Benidorm area cater primarily for British ex-pats which means that it’s not uncommon to find your favourite British foods served daily in the campsite clubhouse along with your favourite pint served for less than 2.00€ at happy hour. Add in the nightly entertainment and various animation programmes offered by each campsite and you’ve got the perfect summer holiday or winter getaway in a resort which never sleeps!
A car is not necessary for getting around as Benidorm, Albir, Altea and L’alfas del pi are served by one of the best bus services on the whole of the Costa Blanca! The number 10 bus is every 15 minutes and passes by each of the Benidorm campsites. The cost of the service is just 1.50€ per journey (regardless of the length of journey). Venturing further afield we also have a coastal tram service which covers the coastal resorts from Alicante to Denia. This service runs every hour with various stops in Benidorm, Albir, Altea and L’alfas del pi. Camping Almafra is in the enviable position of being situated right next to the tram stop plus also being on the number 10 bus route.
Which Benidorm campsite is the best?
That’s a tough question and not one that can be answered lightheartedly. Benidorm has some of the best campsites in Spain and each one will suit each person differently. Benidorm is such a diverse place and Benidorm Campsites inevitably follow that same path. All Benidorm campsites have their own identity and the only real way of finding the campsite that suits your needs best is to try them. Everyone who lives or holidays on a campsite in Benidorm will have a different reason for doing so and we like to hear feedback to help others make their choice. Join our Benidorm Campsite Reviews page and Benidorm Campsites Forum to find out what others are saying about campsites in Benidorm.

The university continues building on the new brand presence with University of Colorado Denver signs now gracing the sides of buildings on Lawrence Street.
The new interlocking university-wide CU logo highlighting our brand has been showing up in some very visible locations with much more ahead for our Denver Campus and Anschutz Medical Campus.
You likely already have noticed the new CU mastheads on our web pages (see top of this page) as well as in email signature blocks.
Two weeks ago, the first branded outdoor pole banners started going up on the Denver Campus along Lawrence Street including the bridge connecting the north and south bound lanes of Speer Boulevard over Cherry Creek. Additional signs can be spotted in the small park-like area just east of Speer adjoining the CU Denver Building at 1250 14th St.
These new signs feature key messages that reflect our mission, vision and values such as:
· Energizing futures
· Revolutionizing research
· Designing breakthroughs
· Fueling Colorado’s growth
Brand Manager Jeff Exstrum reminds us that branding is much more than a logo. “It is a process,” he says. “So, while the behind-the-scenes work has been in progress for quite awhile, actually putting up public-facing items with our logo and other visual materials always is an evolutionary process.”
In the coming weeks and months, Exstrum says we’ll continue to see even more evidence of our brand and logo in signage on both campuses as well as in printed materials.

A small dog was attacked and killed by a coyote, and now animal control officers in Wolcott want pet owners to be on alert when it comes to protecting their furry friends.
Wolcott Animal Control Officer Roz Nenninger said this is the third time she’s been called out for a coyote attack this season.
She said she has reason to believe it has happened a number of other times too.
"The female owner of the dog was on the porch, the dog was right at the bottom of the stairs and the coyote came and took the dog,” Nenninger said.
On Saturday night, Nenninger responded to the area of Sanford Street and Cancellero Drive after the dog was attacked.
"The dog was about 28 to 30 pounds, medium sized, terrier mix type of dog, not a small toy dog, medium size, which is a little surprising, for me, that they went after a dog that size,” Nenninger said.
Following a trail of blood, Nenninger and two Wolcott police officers located the dog, but it was too late.
“The owner did say to me today that there were multiple coyotes,” Nenninger said.
She said this is the third time she's been called for a coyote attack this season. The first two times, the dogs, which were larger, survived.
She said right now in town, there are also reports of a missing dog and missing cats, which has left her fearing the worst.
“We've had multiple calls in that there are coyotes in the area, they're denning. You have to remember, we're in the middle of winter, it’s been a really hard cold winter, they're hungry, they're going to do what they have to do to survive and eat at this point and unfortunately at our level, the only thing we can do is to continually educate,” Nenninger said.
She said that starts by keeping a close eye on your pet since it only takes a split second.
“Don't leave your pets out unintended, not even for a split second. Small dogs, under 50 pounds, keep them leashed. Don't let your cats out,” Nenninger said.

what is a timing belt, and why do i have to change it?
A timing belt is a toothed belt that connects your engines camshaft and crankshaft so they rotate together.
Basically, the camshafts job is to rotate while opening and closing valves. The intake valves let air and fuel into the engines combustion chamber so it can be burned. The exhaust valves let burned exhaust gasses out ot the combustion chamber and into your exhaust sytem. The crankshaft moves the engines pistons up and down, which will either suck air and fuel in, squeeze the air/fuel mixture so it can be burned, or push exhaust fumes out.
In order for the engine to run right, all the valve and piston movements need to be precisely timed. This is where the timing belt comes in. It wraps around pulleys on the camshaft and crankshaft and keeps them spinning together, in perfect time.
The problem is that belts do not last forever. Over time they will dry-out, crack and eventually break due to fatigue. If this were to happen, the valves and pistons would be out of sync with each other, and the engine will die. Worse yet, some engines are what they call "interference" engines. This means the pistons and valves are in such close proximity that, if the timing belt breaks, they will smash into each other and cause internal engine damage. We will see things like bent valves, cracked heads and even broken pistons. Needless to say these types of repairs can run into the thousands of dollars. (If you ever had this happen to you, you know what I'm talking about). Even if your engine is "non-interference", a broken timing belt will give you no warning, and leave you stranded wherever your car coasts to a stop.
So the question now is when to replace it. The best thing to do (besides call us!) is to look in your owner's manual. Change intervals can range from 60,000 to 105,000 miles. If you bought your car used, and are not sure if it's been done, see if you can dig up any documentation on past services, either from the dealer or past owners. Unfortunately, the timing belt is very hard to inspect. Once it's been on the car for, even a few thousand miles, it's almost impossible to tell how old it is. If you still cannot find out if, (or when), it's been done, the best thing to do is just replace it. Better safe than sorry.

"AG Barr is a disgrace, and his alarming efforts to suppress the Mueller report show that he's not a credible head of federal law enforcement," she said.
"He should resign—and based on the actual facts in the Mueller report, Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against the President."
Her comments came just as Barr appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee and testified about Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report. The testimony occurred just after a report surfaced claiming that Mueller was dissatisfied with the way that Barr presented his report in March but did not call his summary of the report inaccurate.
Barr has faced a wave of criticism after releasing his summary and speaking on the Mueller report, using comments which critics saw as a defense of President Donald Trump.
While Warren trailed some other 2020 contenders in the polls, she seemed to lead other candidates in her calls for bold action after the Justice Department released Mueller's report. She was the first candidate, for example, to call for impeachment proceedings, a step both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other Democrats opposed.
Amid Barr's testimony, the attorney general received criticism from other members of congress as well. Reps. Elliot Engel, D-N.Y., and Mark Pocan, D-Wis., also called for Barr's resignation.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., another 2020 hopeful, tweeted her support for an investigation into Barr by the Justice Department's inspector general.
Later Wednesday, former Vice President Joe Biden said he thought the attorney general should step down. "I think he's lost the confidence of the American people. I think he should," Biden said in answer to a question while campaigning in Iowa.
Republican members, however, defended Barr and sharply criticized speculation surrounding the Russia investigation.
"Remarkable to watch Washington Democrats continue to deny reality. Mueller found no collusion, Bill Barr ACCURATELY gave us the report's conclusions, and he then made the FULL report public within a few weeks," House Freedom Caucus Chair Mark Meadows, R-N.C., said. "The left continues to be an outrage machine in search of a problem."

I recently traveled to Austin, Texas to attend the AgChat Foundation’s annual conference, to network with farmers, ranchers and other agribusiness professionals who are using social/new media to tell agriculture’s story. There are many things I could share that were discussed at the conference, but I’ve pulled out the four of the most important to me.

According to folklore, the dybbuk is not a monster, but a wandering soul with unfinished business on earth; it enters the body of a living woman so as to make its business known. Since many people die with unsatisfied desires, one would think that dybbuks would be a common phenomenon; indeed, the chief rabbi of the village where The Dybbuk takes place confirms this when he has to cast out the spirit at the story's climax. ("My father and grandfather knew how to do this," he says, or something to that effect.) One of the most interesting things about the film is how freely the dead interact with the living. There's another ghost in the story who frequently shows up to proffer advice and guilt-trip the living; he's more irksome than scary, an undead version of Seinfeld's Uncle Leo.
This fluidity between life and death is rendered poetically as well. During the extended wedding ceremony that forms the film's centerpiece, there's a ceremonial "dance of the dead" along with dances of the rich and poor. And the public ceremony takes place, we're reminded, near the grave site of a bride and groom who'd been slaughtered by Cossacks on their wedding day. (Seeing this detail now, it's hard not to think of the three million Polish Jews who would be slaughtered during the Shoah only a few years after the film was made; if The Dybbuk is at all scary, it's as a harbinger of real-life horror.) Not coincidentally, the film's dybbuk first arrives at the wedding. It is the spirit of Channon, the Yeshiva scholar who had wanted to marry the bride, Leah, but was turned away by her father. He refuses to leave until he can claim his beloved.
Channon also happened to be the son of Leah's father's best friend. When the fathers were young men, they pledged that their children would marry if they had offspring of the opposite sex (it sounds convoluted in the movie too). The rejection of Channon is thus an insult to two generations and only can be resolved by a rabbinical court. In contrast to The Possession—or, for that matter, practically every movie about demonic possession—The Dybbuk climaxes with a heated, albeit pragmatic discussion of religious law. It's indicative of Jewish tradition that the chief rabbi first tries to shame the dybbuk into departing. "Don't you think you're overreacting?" he essentially says.
While most ghost stories speak to our fears of the unknown, the tale of the dybbuk speaks to the fear of being confronted for past wrongdoing. A true contemporary adaptation, then, would feel less like The Exorcist than David Fincher's The Game or maybe a dark comedy like Elaine May's Mikey and Nicky (in which John Cassavetes plays the dybbuk to Peter Falk's guilt-ridden Jew). Writing about The Possession last week for the Jewish culture website Tablet, J. Hoberman argued that "[the main character's] anxiety and the tension within his broken home would have been immeasurably heightened if his family were confronted with a repressed aspect of their own past." Agreed.
