Health care reform is front and center once again as the Supreme Court listens to arguments on why it should remain intact, be thrown out or pulled apart. And even as those arguments are made and the nation awaits the final ruling, a number of significant changes are already in place.
Nationwide, many are already benefiting from this two-year-old law.
Since the Affordable Care Act was passed, families can cover children up to age 26. Seniors get a 50 percent discount on brand medicine. There are no lifetime dollar limits for sick people. Child with pre-existing medical conditions can’t be banned from getting insurance. That same benefit will apply to adults starting in 2014, assuming nothing changes via a Supreme Court ruling. And many are receiving preventive care services at zero or minimal cost.
It’s mind boggling that so much energy is being applied toward trying to dismantle what has been a significant improvement in our nation’s health care system.
The law does have a third rail, however, the requirement that everyone purchase health insurance starting in 2014 or be subject to a penalty. That is at the heart of the Supreme Court hearing. But even as the country awaits a decision, California has pushed ahead with plans to carry the law through.
Say what you will about our dysfunctional state, this time it looks like we got it right. State officials are being proactive and getting out in front of the requirements early. The state has already laid the groundwork for the health care exchange, which pools people and small businesses so they can obtain more affordable coverage. Other states are in denial and working to derail the efforts.
Yes, California tried this once before, on its own, and it flopped. But this time it will be backed by the federal law, should the idea survive on a national level. Besides, prior experience — whether a success or failure — becomes an important lesson learned when working on the same idea the second time around.
Which brings me to an interesting parallel between the Affordable Care Act and the Silicon Valley startup culture.
Entrepreneurs create a business when there is a viable need. President Barack Obama and the administration wanted to do the same to resolve the health care debacle.
From there an entrepreneur (in this case the government) comes up with a solution. That evolves into the creation of a plan, (in the case of the government a law) which turns an idea into a solution.
If it was a business, the company would iterate and iterate as it discovers how to improve the problem that brought the business into existence. If the founders do it right, the company is a success. If they can’t get it right, the startup splinters and fractures, and, well, then you have what we see in government — one big mess.
Government has yet to figure out how to be flexible and innovative. But it must get there because that’s how progress happens.
It makes no sense for ongoing partisan politics to hijack good ideas and stymie progress. Everything may not be perfect about this legislation, but we can already see the pluses. Why not build on that instead of trying to tear it apart? Why not think more like an entrepreneur?

Exclusivity exudes at Lilypad Palm Beach where access is granted on a membership-only basis with just ten applications accepted each year.
Wildly romantic and almost raw in its appearance, this floating villa captures the imagination with its 360-degree water vistas that provide the backdrop for one of Sydney’s most desirable new retreats.

Much of what you want to do can already be done automatically within CabWriter by careful setup of the drilling settings. There is a short tutorial under the Education tab that walks you through how to access the settings. You can play with the drilling settings until you get what you want. If there are only a couple of things you need to add that we don’t provide, we would like to hear about it so we can consider if we need to add it at some point. However, since the cabinet ends that CabWriter draws are just standard SketchUp components, you can just edit them the way you want, then you can check the “CabWriter Protected” box so that CabWriter doesn’t erase the new stuff if you edit the cabinet. Once you play with the software and are able to create a cabinet that is the way you like, we would love to get that model from you so we can see what you’ve done and what we would need to add, if anything, to the CabWriter software.
Please let us know how you make out after giving it a try.

Osmolyteswith their effective stabilizing properties are accumulated as protectants not only against
salinity but also against denaturing harsh environmental stresses such as freezing, drying, high temperatures,
oxygen radicals and radiation. The present work seeks to understand how Halomonas
sp. AAD12 cells redirect
carbon flux specifically to replenish reactions for biomass and osmolyte synthesis under changing salinity and
temperature. To accomplish this goal, a combined FBA–PCA approach has been utilized.
Experimental data were collected to supply model constraints for FBA and for the verification of the
model predictions, which were satisfactory. With restrictions on the various combinations of selected
anaplerotic paths (reactions catalyzed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, pyruvate carboxylase or
glyoxylate shunt), two major phenotypes were found. Moreover, under high salt concentrations, when the
glucose uptake rate was over 1.1 mmoL DCW-1
, an overflow metabolism that led to the synthesis of
ethanol caused a slight change in both phenotypes.
The operation of the glyoxylate shunt as the major anaplerotic pathway and the degradation of
6-phosphogluconate through the Entner–Doudoroff Pathway were the major factors in causing a distinction
between the observed phenotypes.

WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) -- Leaders of a House subcommittee want to make the Obama administration answer for putting taxpayers on the hook for a half-billion-dollar loan to a now-bankrupt solar panel manufacturer.
A hearing Wednesday will examine what went wrong with Solyndra Inc., which received a federal loan of nearly $528 million and recently filed for bankruptcy. GOP leaders of the subcommittee describe the loan as a "half-billion bust" that raises red flags about the administration's efforts to generate more jobs in the renewable energy sector.
"It is not the role of government to pick winners and losers in the market," said Republican Reps. Fred Upton of Michigan and Cliff Stearns of Florida, in a joint statement. Upton is chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, while Stearns oversees the committee's investigations and oversight panel.
The investigation is even more timely considering ABC News has uncovered White House e-mails that show the loan wasn't a slam dunk:
Newly uncovered emails show the White House closely monitored the Energy Department's deliberations over a $535 million government loan to Solyndra, the politically-connected solar energy firm that recently went bankrupt and is now the subject of a criminal investigation.
The company's solar panel factory was heralded as a centerpiece of the president's green energy plan -- billed as a way to jump start a promising new industry. And internal emails uncovered by investigators for the House Energy and Commerce Committee that were shared exclusively with ABC News show the Obama administration was keenly monitoring the progress of the loan, even as analysts were voicing serious concerns about the risk involved. "This deal is NOT ready for prime time," one White House budget analyst wrote in a March 10, 2009 email, nine days before the administration formally announced the loan.
"If you guys think this is a bad idea, I need to unwind the W[est] W[ing] QUICKLY," wrote Ronald A. Klain, who was chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, in another email sent March 7, 2009. The "West Wing" is the portion of the White House complex that holds the offices of the president and his top staffers. Klain declined comment to ABC News.
The subcommittee has been investigating Solyndra for nearly six months. They've questioned whether the Energy Department and the White House conducted a proper review of Solyndra's application for a loan guarantee. They've also asserted that politics may have played a role in approving the loan guarantee by pointing out that investors in Solyndra had helped raise money for President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign.
The panel plans to hear on Wednesday from officials with the Energy Department and the White House Office of Management and Budget, which played the central roles in approving the loan guarantee. The guarantee essentially works as an insurance policy that covers a company's debt obligation in the event of default. In many cases, the loans come from private banks, but in Solyndra's case, the financing came from the federal government itself.
Administration officials have noted that a loan guarantee for Solyndra was also sought by the Bush administration and that private investors put more than $1 billion into the company.
Two executives with Solyndra Inc. were also asked to testify Wednesday but are now expected to appear voluntarily next week instead. They are Brian Harrison, the company's president and chief executive officer, and W.G. Stover Jr., a senior vice president and chief financial officer.
A Solyndra spokesman, David Miller, said numerous factors played a role in the delay, including "legal complexities arising from last week's activities and the urgency of bankruptcy proceedings."
"It is in the best interest of all interested parties for them to remain in California to engage with potential purchasers," Miller said.
A news release from the Energy and Commerce Committee said lawmakers have been assured of the pair's appearance next week. Miller said the company was in contact with committee staff and was working with them on a future date.
The $862 stimulus bill that Congress passed in early 2009 included money for the loan guarantee program. GOP lawmakers are also using the company's collapse to attack economic stimulus legislation in general.
Lawmakers say Solyndra misrepresented the company's viability when company officials visited Capitol Hill in July. While company officials painted a picture of improving finances, the company was preparing to restate financial statements projecting reduced revenues, according to staff with the Energy Department's loans program.
Solyndra was heralded as one of the nation's bright spots of green technology innovation, creating a solar tube of sorts that could soak up sunlight from many angles, producing energy more efficiently and using less space. The company's panels were also light and easy to install, which was meant to save upfront costs.
But over the past few years, other companies caught up and provided similar products at a lower cost.

Sparkling water company Topo Chico is releasing its latest boozy beverage, Topo Chico Ranch Water Hard Seltzer, on Jan. 4, 2022 in Texas.
Topo Chico Ranch Water Hard Seltzer jams three drink trends in one can: It’s sparkling water, the fizzy drink that has exploded in popularity in recent years; it’s a hard seltzer, a style of alcoholic beverage that nearly every major drink company has created by now; and it’s flavored to taste like ranch water, a West Texas cocktail that Matt Escalante, the senior director of hard seltzers for Molson Coors Beverage Company, calls a “classic Texas drink.”
The release of Topo’s newest beverage is the biggest announcement the company has made since it got into the booze biz in March 2021. Topo’s existing alcoholic seltzer flavors are pineapple, strawberry-guava, lemon-lime and mango.
A traditional ranch water cocktail is a mix of tequila, lime juice and sparkling water. The best ranch water, if you ask us, is laced with Topo Chico, which makes Topo’s latest boozy bev both smart and unsurprising.
Where to get it
Topo’s new drink is being sold in nine states: Texas, Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Tennessee. Click the “where to buy” tab on Topo’s website for a list of supermarkets and other retail establishments in North Texas selling Topo Chico Ranch Water Hard Seltzer. (The page hadn’t been updated yet at press time.)
Topo Chico Hard Seltzers are produced and distributed by Molson Coors Beverage Company, the same group that partnered with Yuengling to bring its East Coast beers to Texas in 2021. Topo Chico is owned by the Coca-Cola Company; it purchased rights to the Mexican brand for $220 million in 2017.
How does Topo Chico Ranch Water Hard Seltzer taste?
The best hard seltzers are easy to drink, unmarred by fake fruit flavors.
Topo Chico excels here, delivering a ranch water that’s super fizzy — a hallmark that has made Topo superior to other carbonated waters — with just a light lime taste. It lacks the burn from a traditional tequila-laced ranch water.
The Ranch Water Hard Seltzer tastes significantly better than Topo Chico’s existing alcoholic seltzers, some of which are marred with chemical, cloying fruit notes.
Given ranch water’s continued popularity and Topo’s brand loyalty, especially in Texas, expect it to be a float-the-river staple in summer 2022.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple years, you’re probably aware of the boom in popularity of bike sharing and rental programs across the U.S. From Portland to New York City, many businesses, organizations, and cities have implemented pedal-friendly programs to encourage employees, visitors, or residents to ride to get around.
One example of these programs was recently launched at the Hotel Palomar in Phoenix, Arizona. Under the direction of parent company Kimpton Hotels – which began offering specialty bicycles by Public to rent at all of its properties in early 2013 in an effort to promote cycling and wellness – Hotel Palomar kicked off its program last fall. To help its guests better explore the city of Phoenix, the hotel also distributes a pocket square bike map which highlights popular restaurants, museums, and parks in the city. The map also lists the locations of bike racks and family-friendly spots around Phoenix.
Popular with guests, the maps have also gained the support of local cycling organizations in the Phoenix area, including Phoenix Spokes People, who feel the hotel’s map set it apart from other hotels that simply rent out bikes but don’t provide guests with routes. To help mark the program’s debut, the hotel hosted a party that including free bike tune-ups and a community ride back in October.

The Capital Wasteland is finally free of its longest-lasting scourge: in a surprise update to Fallout 3, Bethesda has removed all traces of Microsoft’s now-defunct Games For Windows Live online service. This is good news, because it should resolve most issues for players running operating systems newer than Windows 7 – which we reckon is probably most of you.
Fallout 3 is the entry that moved the RPG game series into 3D, after several isometric 2D entries (four in total, if you count Fallout Tactics and the console exclusive Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel). It also marked the beginning of Bethesda’s stewardship of the franchise, and gave players a first-person look at the ruins of Washington D.C. in its expansive Capital Wasteland.
The trouble was, it used Microsoft’s Games For Windows Live service, which was meant to allow PC players to connect to Xbox Live to earn achievements and gamerscore, which was a thing that mattered a lot in 2008. It didn’t work all that well, and Microsoft shuttered the service in 2014. But the client remained in Fallout 3, and wound up making Fallout 3 unplayable for many players who returned to the game years later, using newer versions of Windows.
The good news is that Games For Windows Live has been completely stripped out of Fallout 3. The bad news is that, if you had figured out a way to make Fallout 3 work using mods, many of those mods are likely non-functional now. This includes Fallout Script Extender for Fallout 3, which is the foundation for a huge number of Fallout 3’s other mods.
The FOSE developers say they don’t yet have a timeline for when the script extender’s updated version will be available, so we’ll have to stay tuned. In the meantime, it may be worth reinstalling Fallout 3 for a trip down memory lane and/or the bombed-out National Mall.
If you’ve had your copy of Fallout 3 installed all this time, you’ll probably want to uninstall and reinstall it – users report that simply applying the latest patch has in many cases resulted in the game not launching properly at all, but a fresh install should fix that right up.

I started working on my 1.1 GT project and found someone had transplanted a non SR 1.1L in it. Can one of the 1.1L gurus tell by the block number what it may be from? It has low compression dished pistons in it. Also the distributor has no indent in the top rim to lock the distributor cap in place. It moves all over the place. What is up with that?

WEDNESDAY, 3:27pm: The Buccaneers tweeted that the deal is official.
TUESDAY, 8:25pm: The Buccaneers have agreed to terms with cornerback Alterraun Verner, tweets Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. The contract is a four-year deal, worth $26.5MM with $14MM in guaranteed money, tweets Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Verner was the eighth best free agent available according to PFR’s own Luke Adams, and signed a very favorable deal compared to what other cornerbacks are expected to get in this market. Sam Shields signed a contract that could be worth $39MM to stay with the Packers earlier this offseason, and Aqib Talib, Vontae Davis, and Verner were all allegedly seeking contracts in the range of $8MM-$10MM per year.
Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that the Jets were never serious contenders for Verner’s services (via Twitter). The Giants and Vikings were also thought to be interested in the former Titan.

Lately I’ve been reading quite a few books, and I find that my appetite for reading has been reawakened. In the past few days I read (completely) quite a few books, and here are some I recommend, some I haven’t finished reading, and some I’m in the process of completing
Superfreakonomics – I was actually reading another book that mentioned this book so I decided to read it. It’s a great book. Get’s you thinking differently about life and the decisions we make
Freakonomics – I’m currently reading this book – I tried listening to the audiobook a few times but for some reason I wasn’t able to get into it, but I’m enjoying it a lot now. It’s the prequel to Superfreakonomics. It gives ideas, and gets you thinking differently about things you always assumed to be True.
Think like a Freak – I’m also currently reading this book. And I love the idea of thinking differently and making decisions differently. It’s the reason I went back to read the other “freakonomic” books.
The Choose Yourself Guide to Wealth – I’m almost done with this book. It talks about how ideas are now more valuable than money, and gives ways of generating ideas, and dealing with business. It has really got me thinking about business, and it has gotten me to really think about trends and observing trends.
The Side Hustle Path (currently free): This is a very short book. It got me thinking about multiple sources of income and why it is important to have them, and how there are so many opportunities today, if you are willing to do the hardwork.
How to Win at the Sport of Business – I’ve been curious lately about the sports world and the business of Sports. Some people are die-hard fans of sports teams, but whether the team wins or loses, there are people making money. This didn’t quite answer the questions I had, but it gave me other ideas about business.

The new Mayor of Accra, Hon. Mohammed Adjei Sowah has assured executives of the Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF) of his unflinching support in their work to develop and promote the sport to its best abilities in this country.
Hon. Adjin Sowah who is himself into sports as the Greater Accra President of the Ghana Swimming Association, gave the assurance when executives of the GBF, the body responsible for amateur boxing in this country, paid a courtesy call on him at his office in Accra on Monday.
Led by acting President, George Lamptey, the GBF used the occasion to formally welcome the new chief of the capital city to office and also to outline the federation’s plans for the year, request for the Mayor to be a patron of the federation as well as proposals for a collaboration with the AMA to host the African boxing championship as early as next year.
“Your visit here is a step in the right direction because boxing is not just a sport but the main job we do here in Accra so as AMA we must embrace it. Thanks so much for coming and I can assure you of my 100% support in all your activities going forward,” Hon. Adjei Sowah began.
“I’ve already held talks with managers of the Bukom Boxing Arena who have asked me to be an ambassador of the facility and we have agreed to soon establish a centre there to be certified for training not just the boxers but coaches, referees, managers and all other technical officials within the sport,” the Accra Mayor continued.
“So we hope to upgrade not just the boxers but the technical and management aspect of the sport. There should be a professional way of managing boxers, once the person has shown potential there should be a formal contract and proper running of his career,” Hon. Adjei Sowah stressed.

Roaming around on The Google yesterday, I stumbled on something I wrote in 2009 about Waukesha's probable (and still pending Great Lakes water diversion plan):
Final thought:Fast forward to last October:
Waukesha estimated Monday that its water pipe from Milwaukee, and return flow pipe to Wauwatosa, will cost $78 million.
Put that up on your refrigerator and see [whether] that number grows.
The water pipeline project to and from Oak Creek will cost Waukesha $183 million to build, according to the Waukesha Water Utility.Now I recognize there's a measure of apples-to-oranges issue there, since the original estimate was based on Waukesha buying water from closer-by Milwaukee, and returning it back to Lake Michigan via Underwood Creek - - schemes requiring less infrastructure than Waukesha's final plan to pipe in water from Oak Creek and return it down the Root River in Franklin to Racine's harbor.
Cost estimates for the Milwaukee supply were in the $164 million-$175 million range, and for Oak Creek as high as $261 million, all according to this report.
Such are the vagaries of trying to write the first out-of-basin Great Lakes diversion application under the 2008 US-Canadian management Compact - - an application yet to be submitted in final draft form to the DNR by Waukesha despite numerous false starts and missed, self-imposed deadlines dating back more than three years.
By the way, The Journal Sentinel had reported the 2009 estimate, too:
City officials began rolling out their long-anticipated bid for Great Lakes water on Monday with a glimpse at its possible costs.
Switching the city's water supply to Lake Michigan rather than groundwater wells would cost $56 million in initial construction costs and another $5.3 million a year in operating costs, Water Utility General Manager Dan Duchniak said Monday.
Building a pipeline to discharge treated wastewater to Underwood Creek in Wauwatosa so it would flow back to Lake Michigan, as required by a Great Lakes protection compact, would cost another $22million plus $499,000 a year in operating costs, Duchniak said....
Total price: $78 million to get started and nearly $5.8 million a year to operate the system, according to estimates revised since the city's original 2002 water supply study, Duchniak said.

The problem with Hype is that sometimes you just really wanna believe it, ya know? You just keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best, hope that it's true, whatever. All the Hype on this new Ace Frehley release was pretty much saying that this Space Invader release was 'the best thing he's done since Side 4 of Kiss Alive II', and you read that online somewhere and you go 'Wow! Could it be?', and then you hope for the best, because again, you wanna believe, because that album, and THOSE songs, meant soooo much to you growing up, and get the new album as soon as it comes out, because Rocket Ride is one of your favorite all time songs ever, and if there's anything even close to sounding like that song on here, then it's a winner, no matter how much you paid for it, and you take it out of it's child proof case and slap it into your CD player in the car and you hit 'Play' and the first song, Space Invader, comes on, and your just kind of... underwhelmed. Yeah, that's pretty much my first impression of this CD when I heard it. Phooey.
Sounds like Frehley's Comet shit, which, if you weren't around in the 80's, was Ace Frehley's solo band / project that was just a Sunset Strip poofy haired mediocre musical mess. Click here to see what I mean. They were on Megaforce Records, which was... odd. Anyways, I tried skipping over songs on here with weak beginnings, searching for that one elusive kick ass song, and my search came up fruitless. Seems like every song on here is just an excuse for Mr. Frehley to solo over a glorified cock rocking mess of a tune, which isn't THAT bad of a thing, but again, based on the hype, I was expecting more. A LOT more. Oh well. At least Ace sounds great on here. His fret work is beyond fantastic, and the feel he has for sounds and movement and feel in his playing is phenominal. It's easy to see why he's been such a huge influence on countless generations of guitar pickers and noodlers all around the world. I'm not even a guitar player and I will say without hesitation that Ace Frehley is one of my favorite guitar players EVER, and yeah, I know he's no fucking Kerry King, but whatever, I like him, but this release could of been a bit better. MUCH better. That song about Vegas, Toys, with it's Take me to Vegas / I wanna have fun / I wanna shoot craps / I wanna play cards / Stay up late / So bizarre lyrics is just the worst... LOL Not that Ace has ever been known for his lyrical prowess, but still... ha ha ha Oh, and that cover of the Steve Miller Band's The Joker on here?? Weak. As. Fuck. Who thought that was a good idea? Seriously? LOL Oh Ace, I love you, but I think you could of done a bit better with this CD. Better luck next time, oh Rock God Guitar Idol of mine.
Available on iTunes, with a few exclusive songs available on it, by clicking here. The album was put out by eOne Music, and you can click here to buy the release from them. It's also available through Amazon, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Zia, and anyplace else that music is sold as the commodity that it is. "Like" Ace Frehley on Facebook by clicking here.

Just about every day I scan the internet for interesting news stories about the Catholic church. I collect a lot of reports but I don’t always have the bandwidth to write in length about each of them. So here’s a collection below of important, recent reports, grouped by topic, with some very brief headings written by me:
Catholic conservatives continue to grow increasingly frustrated with pope Francis. Where is this all heading? There’s some traditionalists openly calling for Francis to resign.
- Exclusive: Bishop Schneider takes up Pope’s remarks on contraception for Zika
- Three years on, pope leaves Catholic conservatives feeling marginalized
- Pro-life and Catholic leaders voice grave concern over Pope’s contraception remarks
The Catholic hierarchy continues in its efforts to recover the “separated brethren.”
- The Catholic Counter-Reformation Is Over
- Sacramento Catholics, Presbyterians come together to celebrate Palm Sunday
The shameful pedophile priest scandal and cover-up continues.
- Top French Catholic cleric denies covering up acts of paedophilia
- In ‘groundbreaking’ case, Franciscan friars charged with allowing abuse of at least 80 kids
- The Pedophile-Blind Cardinal Who Could Bring Down Pope Francis
Several days ago, I reported that pope-emeritus, Benedict, was bemoaning the fact that Catholicism planted the seeds of its own decline by declaring at Vatican II and afterward that everyone – Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Protestants, and atheists – could go to Heaven if they were “good” (see here). In response to Benedict’s remarks, an unbeliever wrote an article below asking why anyone would waste another second of their lives in a Catholic church pew if all “good” people are going to Heaven; a question I have asked MANY times in this blog. Evangelicals who embrace Catholicism as a Christian church need to repent and stand up for the Gospel of salvation by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. If this atheist can see what’s going on, why are some evangelicals so blind?
- If a former pope says non-Catholics can go to heaven, why be Catholic?


My article that was posted on May 26, 2016 entitled “Wait a Minute – Raw Sewage in Lake Union?” received quite a few interesting and insightful comments and additional questions. Apparently one of the readers of that article was Andy Ryan who is the Media Relations Coordinator for the Seattle Public Utilities and Andy was kind enough to provide us with some answers to the questions that were raised in the article and in some of the comments. So I have included those questions and Andy’s responses to those questions below.
Did past increases in Seattle’s density increase CSOs?
Will CSOs become more frequent with new development?
No. The City of Seattle’s storm water code says that all new development needs to take care of its storm water onsite (via underground detention, infiltration, etc.). New development needs to take care of its storm water that had been entering the combined sewer is now held back or is treated and directed to the separated storm system.
How does the Long Term Control Plan’s Ship Canal Water Quality Project address the future?
The Ship Canal Water Quality Project was sized to accommodate the combined flows from basins in Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne and Wallingford. It has been sized to fully control the area’s outfalls and has factored in climate change impacts. Because of the City of Seattle’s storm water code, all new development (HALA-related or independent) is required to take care of their storm water on site.
Are there other ways that Seattle Public Utilities is preparing its wastewater systems for the future?
Yes. Later this year, Seattle Public Utilities will begin developing a Wastewater Master Plan. This Plan will create solutions for capacity constrained wastewater locations throughout the City and will plan for increasingly strict water quality regulations, climate change and development. The Wastewater Master Plan’s public engagement plan hasn’t been developed yet, but there will be opportunities to participate.
Does new development impact Seattle Public Utilities in other ways besides CSOs?
Yes. Seattle Public Utilities provides drinking water, recycling services and sewer and drainage infrastructure to all residents and businesses in Seattle.
Once again, I want to thank Andy Ryan for his thoughtful input and answers to the questions and to all of those who took the time to comment on my May 26 article. Andy Ryan can be reached at [email protected] if you have any need to contact him.

Smart features and charging system

Le chargeur portable pour voiture électrique d’une puissance électrique de 3,8 kW dispose d’une console de recharge intelligente qui indique l’état de fonctionnement de l’appareil.
Durant la recharge, l’utilisateur pourra contrôler plusieurs paramètres à partir des combinaisons LED multicolores :
- L’indicateur rouge qui désigne l’alimentation
- L’indicateur vert qui désigne la connexion
- L’indicateur bleu qui désigne la charge
- L’indicateur jaune qui désigne les défauts
Ce système de code couleur détecte rapidement les anomalies sur l’alimentation, la batterie du véhicule, la borne électrique, et vérifie le niveau de charge en temps réel :
- Le led rouge uniquement signifie que l’appareil est branché à la prise domestique
- Le led rouge + vert annonce que l’appareil est connecté à la voiture électrique, mais ne charge pas. Vérifiez les emplacements des prises pour assurer la connexion.
- Le led rouge + vert + bleu clignotant révèle que l’appareil est connecté et recharge la voiture électrique
- Le led rouge + vert + bleu indique une charge complète (véhicule chargé à 100%)
- Le led rouge + vert + jaune alerte un défaut de communication. Il faut vérifier la connexion.
- Le led rouge + vert clignotant + bleu indique l’activation de la protection contre la surcharge
- Le led rouge + vert + bleu clignotant + jaune indique un problème d’alimentation (SCP). Vérifiez alors les infrastructures de recharge et la source de l’alimentation (tension, puissance) s’il est adapté au chargeur (240V AC 16A 50-60Hz).
- Le led rouge + vert clignotant + bleu clignotant + jaune atteste que la protection contre les fuites est activée
- Le led rouge + jaune clignotant indique l’activation de la protection contre la surtension ou une basse-tension
- Le led rouge + vert + bleu + jaune indique l’activation de la protection contre la surchauffe
An ergonomic portable charger
When purchasing a new electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle, the manufacturer usually offers a charging cable to the new owner. This solution is intended to alleviate the constraints of recharging thanks to its domestic plug adapted to the AC current of a dedicated or non-dedicated terminal, from a private house or a collective building. Indeed, the right to plug in is too often degraded by the lack of public charging infrastructure in parking lots and other outdoor charging points. The portable charger popularizes charging locations. Thus, the user can enjoy a power source anywhere. However, it is far from offering the ergonomics and performance of a public charging station. Users are then forced to queue up at dedicated charging points, failing to install a home charging station. Borne+, the specialist in electric mobility solutions and charging stations for electric cars, offers a much more suitable version of the cable marketed by car manufacturers with a portable 3.8 kW charger. Unlike standard cables, this charger is designed for trivial use and offers absolute comfort for easy charging wherever you are! It has a 5m plug to plug cable that allows you to simply connect the car to a 240V power supply. It’s the ideal low-cost solution for short trips until additional charging stations are installed.

What to Read Next (No. 269): Passion, for Better or Worse
Happy Friday, readers!
This week I’m thinking about passion — that oh-so-powerful concept which has been written about ad nauseam, especially since the 1980s when business minds began using the word in the context of career and leadership development.
One of the books featured this week looks at passion within that context, but from a different angle than I’ve encountered before.
The other book on this week’s docket looks at the flipside of passion. What happens when it goes awry in an individual and in a group — and when that passion is misinterpreted by outside observers?
As always, I’d love to hear what you’re reading and enjoying!
Upgrade to a paid subscription to support this newsletter and to get my weekly “This & That” feature, which is full of links, lists, ideas, recommendations, and more:
Coming up on the 30th anniversary of the 1993 disaster in Waco, Texas, a trio of big books have hit the scene, each of which claim to tell the “real” story behind the siege.
The first title I reached for was Jeff Guinn’s, whose work I know and love. His expertise on cult leaders — as in Manson and The Road to Jonestown — is unique in that he goes really deep on cultural context and background before getting to the apex of what his subjects are infamous for.
So I shouldn’t have been surprised when Guinn spent a lot of time telling the story of Vernon Howell. This name was unfamiliar to me, though it became clear soon enough that his transformation into David Koresh was due to a combustive mix of familial, cultural, and genetic factors.
Though the average American only became familiar with the Branch Davidians in the midst of the 1993 tragedy, the religious sect had its fair share of dramatics for decades before that. Guinn gives this particular part of the backstory just the right amount of space before getting to the ‘90s and the fiery televised disaster which, coming on the heels of Ruby Ridge, would serve to create a permanent distrust between religious groups and the United States government.
This book is shorter than what I’m used to from Guinn — 328 pages as compared to 400+ — which just meant that each page was distilled into what was most impactful and important. After reading a few of his books in the last couple years, I’m comfortable putting him into the must-read column.
Waco is the kind of book that will appeal to a variety of readers — if you’re at all into true crime, cults, or society at large in the 90s, don’t hesitate to give it a shot.
The Passion Paradox by Steve Magness and Brad Stulberg
“While there are plenty of voices telling you to find your passion, there are hardly any telling you how to be passionate.”
In the last 20 years, the going advice towards the idea of passion has yo-yoed between “follow your passion” and “following your passion is overrated.” Readers have been left to try to figure it out themselves — which is fine, really, because that’s how it should be.
What’s interesting is that very few books have explored what to do if and when you do find your passion and have decided to go after it. The Passion Paradox dives deeply into that idea of “What’s next?” How do you harness and use passion in a healthy, life-giving way?
This user guide is short (~165 pages) and potent. The nuanced insights about the benefits and downsides of passion — with plenty of interesting anecdotes along the way — are a breath of fresh air in the bloated and oft-repetitive personal development space.
I especially appreciated a few counterintuitive and rather thought-provoking pieces of advice that I haven’t really seen anywhere else.
One such idea is that the concept of “balance” — that buzziest of buzzwords in career-focused content — is perhaps overrated. They advocate instead for an intentional roller coaster approach: embrace seasons of obsessive work, followed by periods of rest and recharging:
“Maybe the good life is not about trying to achieve some sort of illusory balance. Instead, maybe it’s about pursuing your passions fully and harmoniously, but with enough self-awareness to regularly evaluate what you’re not pursuing as a result—and make changes if necessary.”
I always enjoy the working duo of Steve Magness and Brad Stulberg. Though The Passion Paradox didn’t seem to get as much attention as their other books, it’s perhaps the most practical of the bunch (well, it was for me at least!). If you’re at all thinking about the idea of passion and what it means in your life, this one is a must-read!
That’s all for me this week. Thanks so much for reading — I deeply appreciate the time and inbox space.

"The approach taken under Ryan's proposal for future beneficiaries is this premium support model in which we have a fixed contribution, Medicare approved plans on Medicare exchanges, and the choice, in terms of where those fixed amounts ... are directed, is a choice made by the individual as opposed to the federal government or an appointed bureaucrat," the House GOP aide said.
Ryan's plan would abolish the advisory board and repeal part of the 2010 law that would have closed the Medicare drug benefit's coverage gap, or "doughnut hole."
"They really are taking very different approaches to address the broad challenges of reducing the federal deficit and debt," Neuman said. "The administration is building on the existing system to reduce spending. The Ryan proposal is a fairly dramatic change in the current structure."
Americans view both plans with skepticism.
In an ABC News poll released this week, 65 percent of Americans said they opposed changing Medicare to a system in which the government would give older Americans vouchers with which to buy private insurance. The Republican budget plan includes what's been widely described in news reports as a voucher or voucher-style system, though Ryan has maintained that it's not a voucher system, because subsidies would go directly to insurance companies.
As for Obama and the Democrats' health care plan, Americans remain confused about what it entails, a year after it was passed. In Kaiser's March health tracking poll, 52 percent of those polled said they did not have enough information about the health reform law to understand how it would affect them personally. The poll found that 42 percent of Americans hold favorable views of the law, while 46 percent view it unfavorably.

ABVP tries to teach nationalism to collegians, circulates brochures
Brochure includes ABVP’s take on the JNU controversy, brief profiles of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhatt and a 13-point questionnaire indirectly asking what is nationalism
Looks like the ongoing Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) fire might aid the revival of the long buried tradition of campus politics across Maharashtra.
An ABVP member distributes and collects the brochures distributed at Rizvi college yesterday
Starting yesterday, the Mumbai chapter of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarti Parishad (ABVP) undertook an initiative of distributing pamphlets across city colleges. The pamphlet includes ABVP’s take on the JNU controversy, brief profiles of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhatt and a 13-point questionnaire.
As per ABVP, this questionnaire will help students understand the promulgation of anti-national and separatist ideology in the JNU in the name of freedom of speech and expression.
Speaking to mid-day, Ravi Jaiswal, ABVP joint secretary, said, "Students need to know the reality and answer these questions before drawing conclusions. We are not giving any wrong information. We want our youngsters to be aware of the reality. We aren’t making any claims, we are just asking students to answer a few questions that will make them understand how the activities (at JNU) were indeed anti-national. Insulting our country and martyrs in the name of freedom of speech and expression won’t be tolerated. Many students don’t even know about Afzal Guru or Maqbool Bhatt. How can anyone have an unbiased opinion when other student organisations are bombarding them with big words such as freedom of expression."
Echoing Jaiswal’s sentiments, Aniket Ovhal, ABVP secretary (Mumbai region) said similar incidents in the recent past have left the collegians confused. "JNU is the burning topic across city campuses. At the same time, it is important that our friends know the reality."
When asked whether this was ABVP’s ploy to increase its membership, Ovhal said, "We do not need such activities to increase our membership. Work on membership is on simultaneously and students willingly join us."
While the ABVP is gung ho about its latest initiative, other students unions claim such moves are aimed at exploiting emotions of the collegians. Saqeeb Khan from Progressive Students Forum (PSF) said, "If they are doing something like this, then they are presenting a distorted picture to the collegians. People think emotionally while handling topics pertaining to anti-national behaviour. Only a handful will go back and review the situation after verifying facts."
Excerpt from brochure
The brochure distributed yesterday reads: On February 9 2016, when the whole nation was praying for well-being and quick recovery of Lance Naik Hanumanthappa, at the same time, some students organisations (AISA, SFI, DSU) of JNU) had organised a cultural evening wherein anti-national slogans were raised. In that cultural programme, terrorist Afzal Guru and separatist Maqbool Bhatt were declared as martyrs and death sentences awarded to them termed as Judicial Killing.
They said.... we said
The pamphlet gives a separate list of a few slogans raised by JNU students and ABVP members
- Pakistan Zindabad
- Kashmir ki Azadi tak jung rahegi
- Bharat mata ki jai
- Jahan hue balidan Mukherjee, who Kashmir hamara hai Tum kitne afzal maroge Ghar ghar me ghuske marenge, jis ghar se Afzal niklega
Few of the questions
>> Is it proper to raise slogan of ‘Bharat ki barbadi’ in the name of freedom of speech?
>> Kashmir and Kerala are an integral part of India, is it right to demonstrate to separate Kashmir and Kerala from India?
>> Being a citizen of India, is it correct to raise anti-national slogans of ‘Pakistan Zindabad’?
>> Terrorist and Separatist convicted by Supreme Court of India, can they be role models of today’s generation?
>> As an Indian citizen, can we accept Afzal Guru, Yakub Memon and Maqbool Bhatt as martyrs?
