House Committee Approves Oil Price Reduction Act
July 7, 2008 - 7:25 PM
(CNSNews.com) - The House International Relations Committee on Wednesday approved the Oil Price Reduction Act which calls on the Clinton Administration to adopt a multilateral strategy with other oil consuming countries and take the steps necessary to reduce fuel prices.
The bill now goes to the floor for consideration by the whole House and a committee spokesman told CNSNews.com that action on the legislation could come early next week.
The act proposes that the Clinton Administration should adopt a multilateral strategy with other oil consuming countries and to take steps to reduce, suspend or terminate assistance or even arms sales to oil exporting countries that engage in price fixing.
After the committee vote, House International Relations Committee Chairman Benjamin Gilman (R-NY) said on Capitol Hill, "The administration has admitted that its response to this crisis was woefully inadequate. This legislation will help the president to do the right thing for the American people."
However, Gilman also believes the bill carries a stronger message to OPEC nations.
"This measure sends an important message to oil producing states: that artificially limiting production to the detriment of the US economy will not be tolerated and American foreign policy will make reducing the price of oil a top priority," Gilman said.
Gilman also received committee approval on an amendment to the bill that would delete what he called "unnecessary reporting requirements" in order to give Clinton additional time to pursue diplomatic solutions to the fuel crisis.
The committee also approved an amendment proposed by ranking Democrat, Congressman Sam Gejdenson (D-CT) that calls for multilateral diplomatic efforts to reduce oil prices or bilateral efforts when the United States is the sole source of a particular weapons system.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

Excellent service. Honest, quick to respond and always looking out for clients best interest. Minimum hassle and best possible outcome I could have ever imagined. Thank you Todd!
Todd STOOD by me, what else really needs to be said?? I had a VERY tough case where false accusations were made and Todd listened to me, looked at the evidence that the Prosecution had and the evidence we had and HELPED me stand strong. We were offered several "DEALS" and Todd explained EVERYTHING to me and assisted me in my decisions. I would like to ADD this was a 2 year ORDEAL and in the end, all CHARGES against me were DROPPED.
I put a post on here back in 2011 when I was arrested fo a dui. I stated I would follow up when things developed..... well today we had our appeal in front of the circuit court and my case was dismissed! Todd presented his knowledge and case law to a degree of perfection and the judge agreed with our argument. This lawyer is #1 in my book not only is he considered one of my friends he treated me like family. His wife and staff are also some of the best people I have ever come across and assisted me with every detail or issue in my case. If you need a lawyer this guy is worth his weight in gold. = todd thanks again you work wonders buddy
I had received a DUI a few years ago and needed to talk to an attorney who was knowledgeable about DUI/DWI offenses and how they're looked at by the Federal Aviation Administration. Todd, though not being the attorney who handled my case originally, reviewed all of my previous case work and gave me hours upon hours of consultation without asking for a single dime. After looking over my case and contacting the right people, Todd not only told me how to deal with the process of receiving an FAA flight physical but he arranged to have the criminal history of the case expunged entirely. I'm now in the process of finally pursuing my dream without the worries of one past mistake standing in my way. Todd La Neve completely alters any negative opinion one could have of a defense attorney. Receiving money wasn't his objective, winning his case and seeing a fellow aviation lover get his record cleared was his main priority. He worked harder for me and kept me much more informed than my previous attorney for a fraction of the price. I strongly recommend anyone who has had a DUI or alcohol related offense to contact Todd. He will work with you and for you to get you back on track and on with your life.
Todd's attention to detail and depth of knowledge in the area of DUI laws helped us navigate a difficult situation through to a most desirable outcome. His knowledge helped us make good decisions with regard to every aspect of the case. We had never experienced a DUI charge and were completely unprepared. Todd's help and friendly "bedside manner" was a comfort through an otherwise very uncomfortable situation. I highly recommend his services.
Todd kept me aware of my options throughout my case. He worked with me & kept to his word. There was no surprises during my case that he didn't make aware of early.
Mr. La Neve was great! I had never had to deal with the law before and he helped me understand everything from the charge, the process, my options, and so much more. He updated me as to the status of the case and always kept trying for the best results. He ended getting my case dismissed which was his whole goal in the first place. I would highly recommend Mr. La Neve to anyone for their legal issues.
He will be handleing my case. I will post the outcome when it is over. What i can tell you at this point is that Todd is the one of the best when it comes to these type of cases. He alwasy calls me back, is extremely pleasant to deal with, and his wife and staff are always there to help and go the extra mile for his clients. I have alot of faith in Todd and feel as though i am not just another paycheck but more like a personal friend. I feel as though he will put as much effort into my case as he would a family member of his own and i would highly recommend Mr. Todd La Neve to anyone i know including my own family. I am putting my life and my savings in Todd La Neve's hands, i am confident this will not be a wasted effort.
I was injured in an automobile accident in which the other driver was driving under the influence and ran a red light, striking and totaling my vehicle. The case was not only complicated by the criminal aspect of the case but also due to the fact that I was working and performing the duties of my employment at the time of the accident. I not only had to deal with the at-fault driver's insurance company and her criminal case but also my underinsured policy due to her lack of coverage and worker's compensation because the accident occurred as a result of my employment. I was met with resistance at every step of the process from recovering damages for my vehicle to getting approval for appropriate medical care. When the stress became unbearable, I contacted Mr. La Neve and he took over all aspects of the case. As a result of Mr. La Neve's efforts, I was able to replace my vehicle; obtain appropriate medical treatment; recoup and repay medical expenses that were initially payed by worker's compensation at a fair rate; and I was compensated for my pain and suffering. By realizing that I was out-gunned by the insurance companies and contacting Attorney La Neve, I was able to concentrate on my therapy and medical care during the healing process while he handled the other aspects of the case to my benefit. I would highly recommend Todd to anyone in a similar situation.
I could not say enough nice things about Mr. LaNeve. He is extremely helpful, courteous, and most of all knowledgeable. He quickly returns calls and/or emails. I felt like he was actually doing the best job he could for me. He kept in touch and kept me informed throughout the case. If you need an excellent attorney and one that has the best interest of the client in mind, then you need Mr. LaNeve. I didn't know that an attorney existed that actually wanted what was best for the client and not just the money. He won my case by presenting knowledgeable facts. He did his research and did an excellent job of presenting the evidence. I give him my highest recommendation! Absolutely fantastic!

Is it possible that Harvey Weinstein doesn't know that Oscars for Best Song go to songwriters but not performers? "Midnight Run," the song Willie Nelson sings on the Lawless soundtrack was compposed by Jim Dolan, Marc Copely and Adam Levy, not Willie. (Or maybe Weinstein isn't letting a thing like eligibility requirements get in the way of generating some publicity for a movie he or his company produced.)
Gosh, I guess turning 30 is just too much for LeAnn Rimes to bear! Oh, the humanity. I didn't know they had treatment facilities that cater to extreme narcissists! Hmm…
That Opry honoring Miss Loretty is gonna be a good'un! I sure hope the Annies perform "Fist City" with Miranda on lead vocals.
When Triggerman announces that a certain artist has "arrived", you can find me scrambling for the nearest exit! (lol)

Name change doesn't help Mount Washington College
Mount Washington campuses in Portsmouth and Concord will be shut down by the end of the year, according to Kaplan spokesperson Steven White, resulting in the loss of about 45 jobs across all five campuses and the dislocation of about 380 students enrolled in the Seacoast and state capital locations.
White said the closures were made necessary by declining enrollment at the college, which is best known for its business education programs. In the past year, the five-campus operation has seen a drop in the student population of about 20 percent, from 1,850 to 1,450, White said.
The New York Times reported on July 25 that enrollment at post-secondary institutions nationwide is declining after years of growth."College enrollment fell 2 percent in 2012-13, the first significant decline since the 1990s, but nearly all of that drop hit for-profit and community colleges," the newspaper reported. "The college-age population is dropping after more than a decade of sharp growth, and many adults who opted out of a forbidding job market and went back to school during the recession have been drawn back to work by the economic recovery."

From: Boston, MA
Region: Northeast
Topic: Vines
Title: Prickly vine for fire escape in Boston
Answered by: Barbara Medford and Joe Marcus
QUESTION:I live in Boston area and would like to plant a prickly vine that will grow on my fire escape. What do you recommend?
The first thing we recommend is that you contact your Fire Department, landlord or homeowner's association to find out if it is legal to plant anything on your fire escape. We went to the website for the Boston Fire Department and found this page on Fire Department Questions and Comments. There are a number of contact numbers on that page; if the first one can't answer your question, they can probably tell you who could. The thing is, the whole point of a fire escape is easy access and escape for the occupants of the building. A vine, including a prickly vine, that might trip or hurt people who needed to move quickly and safely would definitely not be a good use of plants.
Assuming (and we are not doing that) you get approvals from all the above authorities, you have another set of problems to deal with, including the location of dirt. Even if your fire escape sits above an area of dirt instead of sidewalk, it is going to be poor, compacted, possibly polluted dirt, and the vine would have to be supported up to the first level of the escape. If you chose to put a pot with potting soil in it, it would be heavy, difficult to transport and, once again, a possible safety hazard.
Final set of problems: what prickly vine would live in an exposed situation in Boston, which is in USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 6a, with annual average minimum temperatures of -10 to -5 deg. F. There were none following those specifications in our Recommended Species list for Massachusetts, but in our Plant Database, we found some roses that come close.
Only one is considered an actual climbing rose, but the others have plenty of prickles and are fairly tall. Rosa acicularis (prickly rose) and Rosa arkansana (prairie rose) are examples of moderately tall roses native to Massachusetts with prickly branches but not really climbing vines.
Rosa setigera (climbing rose) - climbing branches 6 to 15 ft. long, scattered, straight prickles along stem, deciduous, blooms white, pink in May, low water use, sun, part shade or shade
Rosa palustris (swamp rose) - 6 to 8 ft. tall, numerous thorny stems, medium water use, sun, part shade or shade

U.S. stocks rose for the second day in a row Wednesday as investors became more optimistic that the Federal Reserve won't yank away its stimulus programs before the economy is ready. It was the first two-day gain since Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said last week that the central bank could start pulling back on a key stimulus measure, its bond-buying program, later this year.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 149.83 points, or 1 percent, to 14,910.14.
The Standard & Poor's 500 rose 15.23 points, or 1 percent, to 1,603.26.
The Nasdaq composite index rose 28.34 points, or 0.9 percent, to 3,376.22.
For the week so far:
The Dow is up 110.74 points, or 0.8 percent.
The S&P 500 is up 10.83 points, or 0.7 percent.
The Nasdaq composite is up 18.97 points, or 0.6 percent.
For the year so far:
The Dow is up 1,806.00 points, or 13.8 percent.
The S&P 500 is up 177.07 points, or 12.4 percent.

Where I Live the Stoop's a Beauty Shop and the Sidewalk's a Gridiron
I can count on one hand the neighbors I know over the age of 18. Everyday around 3pm in Middle East Baltimore, I love the fact that the sidewalks on my block become pop up beauty salons and makeshift football fields for a flurry of kids. I'm always greeted with a hug, and am often persuaded to stay outside for an art project. I may not be able to get a cup of sugar, but I'm always in the know about how their day was at school or where to get the best chicken box.
In preparation for Neighborday, we spent some time outside taking pictures and talking about why we love our neighborhood.
"You can do anything around here. You can play around. I'm cool with the neighborhood. You can play, play, play, however much you want to play. And that's it."
