Karen V. Clopton is the first African American appointed Chief Administrative Law Judge for the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and manages the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Division, comprised of more than 100 employees, including 40 judges. She is currently the CPUC's Interim General Counsel (March 1, 2014-February 28, 2015), implementing best legal management practices, while Assistant Chief Judge Timothy Sullivan is Chief Judge (Acting).
The CPUC's President charged Chief Judge Clopton with conducting a "soup to nuts" review of the CPUC's decision-making processes in January 2009 and she exceeded every expectation with her thorough research, review, and recommendations. The CPUC embraced her many initiatives to make its crucial regulatory work more accessible to the public, more transparent, and more efficient. In recognition of her work at the CPUC and throughout her more than 25 year career, the American Bar Association awarded Chief Judge Clopton the 2010 Mary C. Lawton Award for Outstanding Government Service.
Chief Judge Clopton was the first African American elected President of the League of Women Voters of San Francisco in its 90-year history and served an unprecedented two terms; she is the Immediate Past President. She was also the first African American woman to serve as General Counsel for the California Department of Corporations. Appointed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, she oversaw all litigation counsel, both in house and outside; and served as liaison with the Governor's legal staff and other governmental agencies. Recruited in 2002 to be the first Chief of Operations and Corporate Counsel for the San Francisco State University Foundation, Inc., she managed grants and contracts; real estate and property management; portfolio and asset management; all legal, compliance, and regulatory requirements; outside counsel; and Foundation litigation and staff.
Chief Judge Clopton has made history throughout her career. She was the first African American woman appointed to the San Francisco Civil Service Commission, first by Mayor Frank Jordan in 1993 and then re-appointed by Mayor Willie L. Brown in 1999. During her tenure as Commissioner she streamlined the classification system, personal services contracting process, and improved the civil service merit examination system. She was serving an unprecedented fourth term as President of the Commission when the Port Commission recruited her in 2000 to become the Port of San Francisco's first Chief of Operations, overseeing Human Resources, Information Systems, Communications, Legislative Affairs, Business Services, Contract Compliance, and Environmental Health and Safety.
Chief Judge Clopton graduated cum laude from Vassar College, earned her JD from Antioch University School of Law (America's premier clinical legal education program and now the University of the District of Columbia's law school, an HBCU), and won a Maguire Fellowship to study international and comparative labor management relations in London, England, and Geneva, Switzerland. In 2014, the State Bar of California's Board of Trustees appointed Chief Judge Clopton to Chair the Council on Access and Fairness. Chief Judge Clopton also served on the State Bar of California's Task Force on Admissions Regulation Reform Implementation in 2013-14.
Chief Judge Clopton is an accomplished author and lecturer on professional responsibility and corporate governance, regulatory practices and procedures, workplace diversity and discrimination issues, sexual harassment prevention and investigation policies, and alcohol and substance abuse policies. Chief Judge Clopton serves on the Editorial Board of the California Labor and Employment Law Review and was on the State Bar's Labor and Employment Law Section's Executive Committee from 2000-2010, serving in leadership positions throughout her tenure, including as Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer.
Chief Judge Clopton is active in the greater community, in addition to the League of Women Voters leadership, she is the National Legislative Chair for Jack and Jill of America, Inc. and President of the San Francisco Jack and Jill Chapter.
Chief Judge Clopton received the 2013 Silver SPUR Lifetime Achievement Award from the nationally pre-eminent urban planning and research organization, SPUR, and was recognized for this honor by Congress, the California State Senate, and San Francisco's Mayor and Board of Supervisors for championing integrity, transparency, and public access in government.
Chief Judge Clopton was awarded the Judicial Award of Excellence, In Recognition of Exemplary and Dedicated Service, by the California Association of Black Lawyers in 2012. She received the 2011 Trailblazer Award from the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, San Francisco Chapter. She also received the 2011 History Maker Award for the March into National Women's History Month, "Celebrating the Contributions of Powerful Women of the Bay."

Didn't do too much for my lashes, Telescopic is the best lengthening mascara!
Also, this stuff SMELLS. It smells like Sharpie and Skunk. Disgusting.
I haven't used this product long enough to give a full review. I bought it because it came two in a package for $7.99. I used this mascara for the first time this weekend and so far so good. If it doesn't work out, at least I didn't waste $23 like I did on Diorshow Blackout. So far it gives my lashes incredible length, but no volume, which I'm not too concerned about anyway. Lash Stiletto actually does a better job than MAC's Zoom Lash, in my opinion.
I really like this. I was a little surprised when I saw this get a less-than-stellar review. It does what it says. It lengthens as well as my beloved Lancome Definicils Pro. It doesn't add much volume, but it doesn't claim to. It doesn't flake or smear under my eyes, which is a huge deal with me, as I'm a redhead and almost everything seems to smear. I took off one lippie because of the very odd smell. It fades when the mascara dries, but it's pretty overpowering. Not enough to make me stop using, though. Packaging is very clever...love it! I'd recommend it for someone who wants to add length, not volume, to their lashes. Would definitely purchase again!
I have been using Maybelline Great Lash (the pink and green tube) for years now. I would always try other brands, but would always go back to Great Lash. Well once again, I decided to try a new mascara and picked up the Stiletto. This time, I didn't go back to Great Lash! I love this mascara! Love the brush, the actual mascara (even though it's not shiny, like it says) and love the fancy tube. This is my new fav! The fat brush really does grab all your lashes really well!
When I first saw the commercial, I wasn't intrigued by it at all. I figured it would turn out to be like any other mascara, and the black patent shine thing turned me off. Recently I switched up my makeup routiene and started searching for a good, d/s, ultra lengthening mascara. I read through some reviews, and it seemed like most users were unhappy because it doesn't add volume. I thought to myself, well, that's perfect, because I don't want a volumizing mascara, so I went out and bought it. When I got home, I used it right away over my other mascara, and go figure, I hated it. I tried it again on bare lashes, and still hated it. The mascara is unreasonably wet, to the point that it doesn't add length at all, it just coats your lashes with color. I waited forever for it to dry, and then had to comb through it because it made my lashes stick together (I do give LS some credit, they were well defined and clump-free, but I prefer to have more than three eyelashes). I appied another coat, and I still didn't notice any length, but yet again my lashes began to stick together. I waited for it to dry, gave up, and applied my Voluminous mascara overtop. After two coats of LS, you literally COULD NOT tell that I put anything on. It looked like a basic lash tint. I hate to say it, but I'd reach for Great Lash before I used this again.
I got this mascara on a whim, I don't have TV to see advertisements so I just bought it because of the way it looked, haha. I had another mascara in my hand and then I saw this one and immediately grabbed it instead. I am glad that I did. I was really blown away when I tried it since it was really good for a drug store brand. It made my lashes so nice!! Length and a little bit of thickness, just the right amount. I would definately buy it again but for right now I have Pupa. That is another story...or review, I should say.
Geez did this product have great advertisements or what. I typically don't find mascara commercials that convincing because I find them very similar to blush in that you really have to try it on to see if it works well for you or not. Also I think the quality of a mascara weighs heavily on personal preference.
But besides that I have to say this quickly became my favorite mascara. While it does not add much in terms of volume it lengthens like no other mascara I have had before. The bristles are space a good distance apart and are long enough to get between each lash. I favor this mascara when doing a pin-up girl look because you can really bring attention to outer lashes.
I really like this mascara!! It really lengthens my lashes! I have short lashes and i can tell that they look longer..The one thing i dont like about this mascara is the scent.

Transit police officer not shot by the alleged Boston bombers?
Submitted by Peggy R on Fri, 04/26/2013 - 08:12Just heard on Fox News Boston that the MBTA police officer may be victim of friendly fire.
This is not the MIT officer, who remains dead after the chase incident.

This is big news, if confirmed. Thanks.

Update if confirmed please, anyone
If this is true, and it came out at the time, probably would have changed the liberties that were taken, probably the debate too, not to mention mentality, that guns being somehow safer in the hands of those who wear authorative costumes
If true, i'd like to know, who, if anyone, was aware of it
Is something i would ask to a government who believed in accountability

Is there one shred of evidence these boys had guns?
I keep hearing about who they shot, and then hearing, oh, well... that did not happen... I have not seen one photo of them holding a gun. The only "weapon" I have seen is the backpacks, and one of them is the WRONG COLOR.
A man died over this. Stripped of any due process, any chance at JUSTICE, he was executed to the cheering of the masses. It is the lions and the Muslims this time, and the cheering of the police looks SO MUCH like Nazi Germany it makes me physically ill.
Love or fear? Choose again with every breath.

The guy they car jacked said one of them had a gun. The MIT security officer that was shot and killed by them. And the pictures taken by Kitzenberg from the shootout shows one of them with a gun aimed at police. Also the brother in custody said they had one gun and that's why they shot the MIT cop to try to get another gun, but there is a locking mechanism on the holster and they couldn't get it.

Who comes up with these
Who comes up with these terms?
Haircut= taking over half of your bank account. Isn't that theft? This has nothing to do with hair or a cut.
Friendly Fire= When one of your own shoots you. Isn't that poor judgment or a bad aim? It certainly isn't friendly!
Collateral Damage= dropping a bomb on houses killing non combat humans= terrorism. It is murder not damage. In the above article does it read officer was damaged?
Are most of us so brain dead if they call their crimes something else we actually believe them?

Looks Like This is Picking Up Steam
Quote:"State Police investigators have recovered more than 250 shell casings as they try to determine the sequence, direction, and source of the gunfire during the shoot-out. They also recovered several homemade explosive devices, including a pressure-cooker bomb that detonated on the side of a parked car.

Typical Police State BS
"It doesn't change anything at the scene, friendly fire or not," the official said. "These suspects set in motion a chain of events that required this kind of response."
"Those streets in Watertown were the most complex crime scene in the history of the Massachusetts State Police," Procopio said.

I can't seem to find any info
on how and why the MIT security guy got shot.
Heres another good one.
Cabbie believes he had close encounter with Marathon bomb suspects; picked up unusually heavy backpack...
So these two brothers were running around Boston the day before with Bombs in their back packs? Every day the story just gets more bizarre.
- Login to post comments
They say that they tried to get MIT officers gun...
Which is believable since they only had one gun. They failed to get the gun because the holster had a 'triple lock' - from what I gather, it isn't a key lock, but one where you have to do 'this, that, and this' to get the gun out.

"The second law enforcement
"The second law enforcement official said that whether Donohue was hit by friendly fire or not, officers were involved in a chaotic scene where they were trying to subdue a dangerous suspect. The suspect was shooting at police, and police were trying to protect themselves and each other by firing back, officials said."
Why dont they think about THAT when it is them initiating a firefight, if not, ACCEPT the valid accusation of double standards and everything that implies

um and how would this get you "high" i dont see it doing anything other then posabably over dosingI don't know about a Vicks inhailer but a normal asthma inhailer you simply take the metal cannister out of it get a glass of water and put the cannister in the glass of water, pressing down on the bottom of the glass, this will release all of the insulin or whatever from inside into the water, you then drink the water. I never done it but I've heard it's been done. Dunno what the effects are mind you.

This was in a very nice location. I think you should allow guests that arrive early in the morning to check-in when they arrive. It's not nice to have someone wait till 2 o'clock when they arrived at 6:30 am.

Although the US has indicated that it would be willing to consider dropping the immunity enjoyed by private security contractors as a concession to Iraqis, it's not clear yet how this would work in practice since firms like Aegis, Blackwater, and others are now an integral component of US military and intelligence operations in Iraq.
On the other hand, the government of Prime Minister Maliki is eager to demonstrate its nationalist credentials to Iraqis and prove that any deal with the Americans replacing their current UN-sanctioned mandate, which expires on Dec. 31, will contradict what some of Maliki's political enemies are saying and bring Iraq a more robust sovereignty.
This was underscored last week when Maliki during a landmark visit to the United Arab Emirates asserted that any agreement would have to include either a timetable for withdrawal or full withdrawal of US forces.
His remarks were later echoed by several of his Shiite aides. "The Iraqi negotiators enjoy the trust of their people and can crush the unrealistic ambitions of the Americans in this agreement," boasted Hassan al-Snaid, one of Maliki's senior partisans, on state-owned Iraqiya TV.
The US official concedes that Washington may have overplayed its hand with some of its opening positions in March, which he says gave opponents of the treaty, particularly Iran, ammunition to "poison" the talks.

11 a.m. Update: The heaviest showers have moved through the area and off to the east. Still, occasional lighter showers and drizzle are possible through afternoon and into the early-to-mid evening.
EXPRESS FORECASTToday: Chilly, cloudy with showers likely. Near 50 to low 50s. | Tonight: Showers ending, cold. Upper 30s to low 40s. | Tomorrow: Partly to mostly cloudy, still cool. P.M. shower? 50s. | A Look Ahead | Get Express Forecast by E-mail
A somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a scale of 0 to 10
'Invigorating' cold and showers for some. For the rest, a good excuse to make it a lazy Sunday in the warm and dry indoors.
Get the Digit on Twitter | Discuss on Facebook
If you've been looking for a reason to spend your Sunday in sweatpants, on the couch, thanking your cable company, look no further. Yesterday's cold front has brought a November-like chill, and a weak wave of low pressure provides the showers to keep you glued to the couch. Even if it's dry for a time, who wants to go out in the cold? After today, we'll see slow improvement in the temperature department, returning to the 70s by midweek.
Today (Sunday): It's a perfect 10 if you like spending your Sunday indoors watching football and postseason baseball. If not, it's pretty lousy. Scattered to widespread showers are likely into or through the early evening hours and our temperatures - oh my. They start out in the mid-40s to low 50s, and probably don't go higher than the low 50s under cloudy skies. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Shower chances diminish by mid-evening with the overnight likely dry. But with a breeze from the north ushering in even colder air, we're looking at mostly to partly cloudy skies with overnight lows in the upper 30s (!) for many of our suburbs to the low 40s downtown. If you're headed to the O's game at Camden Yards, there's a 50% chance of showers early, then just cold with temps in the 40s. Confidence: Medium-High
For related traffic news, check out Dr. Gridlock. Keep reading for the forecast through midweek...
Tomorrow (Columbus Day): What initially looked like a partly to mostly sunny day is now trending cloudier as another little disturbance bothers us. Partly to mostly cloudy skies should keep our highs in the 50s, and we may even see a sprinkle or a few showers (20-30% chance) in the afternoon. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow night: Maybe a sprinkle or shower. Otherwise, we should hold on to enough clouds to keep us from getting as cold as tonight. Look for partly cloudy skies and overnight lows ranging from near 40 to the mid-40s (suburbs to city). Confidence: Medium
A LOOK AHEADBy Tuesday we're looking at decidedly better and brighter conditions. I'm hesitant to declare a sunny day with low pressure off the coast. But skies should be at least partly sunny and temperatures are on the rise, too, with highs in the 60s. Can't rule out an isolated shower. It's partly cloudy Tuesday night and another notch warmer, with lows in the upper 40s to low 50s. Confidence: Medium
On Wednesday, it's a regular heat wave! Not really, but it is considerably warmer as flow from the south/southwest returns some warmth to the area. We start out sunny, but clouds should increase during the day as our next cold front moves closer, even bringing a chance of an afternoon or evening shower. Highs aim for the low-to-mid 70s. Confidence: Low-Medium

VARANASI: Carving and moulding slimy mud to form 'Vedi' (a spherical clay mould to perform puja during Dala Chhath) on the banks of the Ganga on the eve of Nahay Khai (a ritual before the festivity) on Saturday was a new experience for Durga Prasad, a native of Bihar residing in Samneghat.
While the man has been accustomed to building such structures near water bodies (ponds) in his native village, it was the first time he was trying to repeat this feat in Varanasi. "It is a very special puja and cannot be stopped, no matter where you are at the time of the festivity. It may look cumbersome to build the auspicious structures, especially with silt and mud spread around, but it gives immense pleasure and satisfaction to come up with contribution for the festivity," says the man.
The festival witnesses offering of tributes to the setting and rising sun with water and milk besides maintaining nearly 36-hour-long fasting without consuming a drop of water by devotees (mainly women). It is a traditionally Bihari festival. However, the aura of the auspicious occasion has also started to grip a number of districts in eastern UP region.
The southern parts of the city, including areas like Bhadaini, Asi, Nagwa and Samneghat, have predominantly Bihari populations migrating from their native place in the past years.
"The festivity is no longer restricted to the neighbouring state as districts like Varanasi, Ghazipur, Jaunpur, Ballia and Deoria have also joined the spree over the years. If you witness the sea of devotees on the ghats stretching from Prahlad ghat to Nyaya ghat (near Samneghat), not much difference could be felt in the style of observing and maintaining the rituals of the festivity," says Brahmanand Pandey, hailing from Ballia district.
While the floating and migratory population in the city has slowly changed the demography of some of the localities, it has also brought the influence of the region. The city converts into mini-Bihar with prominent ghats like Dasaswamedh, Kedar and Asi emerging as key destinations for organising Dala Chhath that falls after Diwali. Besides, the Surya Sarovar, named after the deity, at the Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW) also attracts scores of devotees from Bihar and eastern UP districts on the occasion.
The festive occasion demands restrictions and restraint besides maintaining cleanliness for three days, beginning with Nahay Khai, a ritual where devotees relish rice with lauki (a type of vegetable) after taking holy bath. "A separate chulha (clay oven made with bricks) is made in a corner and all articles for the festivity are prepared on it. The onions, garlic and non-vegetarian items are completely prohibited and fasting starts after Kharna (where devotees consume kheer (dessert made from sugar and jaggery) along with chapatis. The 36-hour fast is broken only after worshipping sun god, giving tribute with water and milk when it rises," said Chandrawati, a septuagenarian native of Nagwa, who has been observing fast for the past two decades in the city.

Weddings tend to be big family affairs, but this La Puente, Calif., couple never could have predicted just how instrumental their family would become in ultimately helping them get down the aisle.
One family member in particular, Cameron Scheuplein, who is not only the groom's best man but is also the bride's uncle, really came through in a clutch after the nearly-newlyweds had their home burglarized on March 8, just one week prior to their wedding.
"They ransacked the house, completely turned everything upside down," Cameron Scheuplein, 33, told GoodMorningAmerica.com of the burglary that left the groom, Ray De Santiago, and bride, Christina Scheuplein, without the $6,000 cash savings they stored in their home to help pay for the upcoming big day.
"Ray lost his job two months ago, so his budget was already very tight," Scheuplein added. "He was very stressed this last weekend about getting through the week. It was just crushing. It was actually show-stopping."
Groom Plans Entire Surprise Wedding for Busy Bride-to-Be
The couple, whose home was broken into along with seven others in their neighborhood, was suddenly left frantically trying to think of every way possible they could cut corners on all the costs.
"They were considering no flowers, I was going to get ordained because they couldn't afford the officiant, and they were thinking of having friends run the bar because they couldn't afford the bartenders," said Scheuplein.
Being the best man, he just wasn't going to let that happen.
"I'm dually invested in this wedding. I care a lot about both of them," he said.
With a little quick thinking, he turned to social media by setting up a fundraising page on gofundme.com, soliciting friends and family to donate whatever they could to help make this happy couple's nuptials still happen without a hitch.
And boy, was it successful.
In just two days, the $6,000 goal was already exceeded by friends, family and even complete strangers flocking to help the distressed lovebirds.
"We were just very flabbergasted by the help," De Santiago, 33, said of the overwhelming and unexpected support. "We still can't believe how quickly all these people, even strangers, were willing to help."
Couple's Epic Wedding Cake Cutting Fail Caught on Camera
Not only will the couple get to go through with their original plan for an Italian-style wedding at a villa in Sierra Madre, Calif., but now, as the fundraising totals have reached more than $7,000, they're also planning to put the additional funds to good use.
"We're going to use that money that's exceeding to buy a home security system and get a nice safe to put our valuables in it to protect our home from any future problems," said De Santiago.
As for the bride, "It's been a rollercoaster ride for the last 72 hours," she said, but more than anything, she'd like to thank everybody for all the love, support and generosity they received during this stressful situation.
"I'm so overwhelmed with emotion," said Christina Scheuplein. "We went from a period of devastation to going on and being able to do these wonderful wedding things without having to stress.
"I can't express my love and emotion for everybody that came through for us," she added. "I still am in so much shock about how all this came about."

Sail into Summer Fun at Summer Day Camp!
The kids at Noble's Summer Day Camps have a great time, spending their hours enjoying themed days like Wild Hair Wednesdays and Tomato Tuesdays.
Each day, campers go outside to play tag, hide-n-seek and king of the jungle gym, but when the weather grows warm, indoor gyms provide an escape from the heat to continue the fun.
Field trips, arts and crafts, board games, movies and special guests will also fill our days, leaving campers exhausted and smiling. Projects like creating flubber may be a bit messy, but that just adds to the fun. Other projects include creating a birdhouse for our feathered friends and making musical instruments from tissue paper rolls and rubber bands.
We break our Day Camps into two age groups. Youth One is for kids 6 - 12 years, while Youth Two is for campers 13 -18 years. That allows us to tailor activities to their specific needs.
Camp is just $200 per week, and scholarships are available. If you want to utilize Respite waiver funding through our camp setting, email us to learn more. Bring your lunch, and we'll provide the snacks. Registration for our 2015 camps will open at the beginning of the year so be sure to register then!

Scientists Silence Extra Chromosome In Down Syndrome Cells
Re:bad news (230 comments)
Sounds like this could be used to suppress the Y chromosome and change a female to a male. In other words, the collapse of several Asian countries obsessed with having male children.
Females have XX. Males have XY. You can't suppress the Y chromosome in a female because she doesn't have one.

Average salaries offered by major firms stand at Rs. 4.8 lakh per annum
Computer Science students of the Osmania University College of Engineering (OUCE) students secured record placements this year with 95 per cent of them being placed. The 'lowest' placement, relatively speaking, was in Bio Medical Engineering stream with 65 per cent.
OUCE placement officer V. Uma Maheshwar Rao said the highest individual pay package was of Rs. 9.5 lakh offered to a computer science student Mudassar by Google and the lowest compensation offered was Rs. 3.2 lakh. Average salaries offered were about Rs. 4.8 lakh.
Special event
Most of these students, however, had either rejected placement offers in other States or were headed for higher education, he said during the 'Campus to Corporate' programme held for the 2012 batch students on Sunday.
Students who got placed got appreciation letters from OU Vice-chancellor S. Satyanarayana and also advice from the industry representatives on making their careers more appealing and dealing with the pressures.
"Find inspiration, network with seniors, appreciate others and celebrate success," were the mantras given by industry representatives like Sriram Biradavolu, Director, Oracle; Tarun Kishore, HR Manager, Deloitte; Nikhil, HR Manager, Wipro; Manohar Reddy, CEO, Gallop Technologies and Shivaji Biswas.
Taking risk was a way to success, they said. Mr. Sriram said India will be the major supplier of manpower to the world, particularly the European countries, where the population was aging at a rapid pace, in the near future.
Young Indians will rule the world, he felt but wanted the youngsters to be ready equipped with the necessary skills. Students shared their experiences of selection process and the role played by the Placement Office.

Climate and Energy Action in Congress
The 2014 election changed the balance of power in the United States Congress, with significant gains by Republicans in both chambers. The 114th Congress (2015-2016) convened on January 6, 2015, and Republicans now enjoy their largest majority in the House since the Truman Administration. They also captured a majority in the Senate. However, even with their majority, Senate Republicans will require Democratic votes to reach the 60 votes needed to overcome filibusters.
Republican leaders listed a number of energy issues they want to address, including approving the Keystone pipeline, spurring fossil fuel development, and curtailing environmental regulations such as proposed limits on carbon emissions from power plants. President Obama has reiterated that climate change is a top priority and made clear he's willing to use his veto power.
Here are some of the issues likely to get attention in the 114th Congress:
- Keystone XL pipeline. Congressional leaders moved swiftly to approve the long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline. President Obama has promised to veto such legislation and continue the administrative process to determine the fate of the pipeline. Without an early legislative or administrative resolution, Keystone approval may continue to be the topic of amendments and debate throughout the session.
- Energy efficiency legislation. Energy efficiency legislation has found widespread bipartisan support, even in partisan times. Senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) have introduced legislation to promote energy efficiency in the past several congresses only to see it held up for substantive and procedural reasons. Such legislation is likely to be taken up in this Congress.
- Environmental Protection Agency regulations. As the Obama Administration continues developing court-mandated regulations of the power sector, opponents and supporters in Congress are likely to react through standalone legislation, amendments, riders in the budget and appropriations process, or the Congressional Review Act. At the forefront of the debate will be regulation of carbon dioxide emissions from new and existing power plants, which will be finalized by midsummer. Other regulations, such as tightened standards for ozone, regulations of methane emissions from oil and gas wells, and stricter fuel economy standards for large trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles, may also prompt reaction from Congress.
- Transportation. Current authority to collect and spend gasoline tax revenues for highway and public transportation spending expires in May, and a new highway bill is a key order of business. Ongoing debate over whether to raise gasoline taxes, which affect energy use and emissions, will continue in this Congress. If gas prices stay low, longstanding opposition to an increase may soften.
- Appropriations. Funding for federal agencies expires at the end of September. By then, Congress must approve new designated funding for agencies for the next fiscal year or approve a continuing resolution to keep the government operating at the same funding level. Congressional leadership has pledged to allow regular order in legislating appropriations bills for the first time in many years. Funding for Department of Energy research and investment programs on clean energy technologies; Environmental Protection Agency regulatory monitoring, enforcement, and voluntary programs; international climate finance funds; and other agency efforts related to climate change and clean energy will all be a part of the appropriations process. Some opponents of climate action have suggested targeting climate-related programs and regulations in the appropriations process by eliminating their funding or including policy riders.
- Tax reform. Leadership of both parties in Congress and President Obama support significant reform of the tax code. Such a reform would necessarily affect tax incentives for various parts of the energy industry, including oil and enhanced oil recovery using man-made carbon dioxide, wind, and solar energy, as well as alternative fuel vehicles. A comprehensive discussion may also include the imposition of a price on carbon through the tax code.
- Oversight and investigations. Congressional leadership has promised increased scrutiny of federal agency actions and policy through hearings and other types of oversight.

Sanitizing "The Giver"
Posted: August 28, 2014 | Author: jwheeler1967 | Filed under: Authors and Poets, Awards, Books, Books & Movies, Novels, Young Adult | Tags: a wrinkle in time, jeff bridges, lois lowry, madelyn l'engle, newbery award, the giver, the giver film, the giver movie | Comments OffOn August 11, 2014, thousands of teens and their parents eagerly purchased tickets for the long-awaited film adaptation of Lois Lowry's 1994 Newbery Award-winning novel The Giver. My teenaged son read it in junior high and loved it. I loved it too. Like Madelyn L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, Lowry's The Giver has a subterranean angst that readers can feel bubbling under their fingertips as pages are turned, a sense that no matter how calm this world is on the outside, something is irreparably wrong.
Everyone complains when a beloved novel is turned into a film. This may be especially true of science fiction works, as entirely new worlds depend on an individual's imagination formed from an author's words. When one person, a director, substitutes his own vision for that of countless personal interpretations, tempers flare. While most moviegoers understand the necessity of divergences from the original text, other alterations are harder to accept.
Young Adult Classics "The Giver" and "Tiger Eyes" as Major Motion Pictures
Posted: January 2, 2013 | Author: jwheeler1967 | Filed under: Authors and Poets, Books, Books & Movies, Novels, Teachers & Teaching, Young Adult | Tags: giver film, jeff bridges, judy blume, lois lowry, newbery medal, NPR, quizzes, studio 360, the giver, think with krys boyd, tiger eyes, tiger eyes film, young adult | Comments OffThere is good news for young adults (and parents) who are tired of lifeless, often commercially-oriented films. Two classic novels for young people, Lois Lowry's The Giver is in production and Judy Blume's Tiger Eyes was released in 2012.
Winner of the 1994 Newbery Medal, Lowry's The Giver is often required reading in junior high and it is one novel that most students enthusiastically embrace. Set in the future, Lowry's riveting tale revolves around Jonas and his "community." When Jonas is selected to be the new "Receiver of Memories," he discovers that the idealized life his community has created is horrific. Little by little, Jonas becomes increasingly aware that everyone he knows and loves, and everything he has been taught in his engineered, perfect world is evil.
For the film version, (the making of which has been rumored for some fifteen years) actor Jeff Bridges will play the lead. Auditions are still underway to fulfill the role of Jonas. You can listen to an interview with Lowry and the upcoming film based on her novel on NPR's Studio 360 here.
(Have you been assigned The Giver in school or do you want to learn more? Here at eNotes, not only do we have a comprehensive study guide for the work, but also individual quizzes for each chapter of the novel! Test your knowledge before your exam or just for fun!)
Another teen favorite which made its debut on the big screen recently is Judy Blume's classic novel Tiger Eyes. Tiger Eyes is about teenager Davey Wexler dealing with her father's sudden and shocking death. Like all of Blume's work, (which has won over ninety awards) the author treats real world concerns of teenagers with deftness but also includes her trademark humor which keeps even the most sensitive of topics from becoming overbearing. Tiger Eyes was released in April 2012. You can listen to an interview with Blume on NPR's Think with Krys Boyd here.
Want to learn more about Tiger Eyes? Check out our study guide and stay tuned for upcoming chapter-by-chapter quizzes for the work!
Readers, what other Young Adult novels would you like to see given a cinematic treatment?

This year has been COLD, COLD, COLD. The worst... Needless to say, I've had massive water damage to this house, when I feel pretty sure is due to ice-damns, and possibly condensation? The house is rather old I bought used. I noticed the drywall at the top near every house corner has had water damage, which seems to match what happens with ice-damns. I will probably have to have a mold specialist come in since i see black spots too. While I am going to assume this will be hugely costly, and I'll need the whole drywalls and insulation replaced (maybe not the worst thing, as none of the cables upstairs here even has ethernet or ground cable, so I am so limited on use)...I'll try to get an electrician to re-wire the home while the drywall is replaced. One of my biggest worries is after sinking in expensive repairs and reno.. .I"ll still have to worry again about ice-damns and the next round of water damage. I keep hearing stories of contractors able to repair work, but have a tendency to never isolate the issue causing the problem to begin with. Curious who else has gone through this? Anyone been able to really stop an ice-damn issue without having to hire people every week to brush off snow? Not that I even count that as a real solution here... |

There's a material the roofer can put down that prevents ice dams. It's standard practice where this occurs. The old timers up here in Vermont have roof rakes. They go out and scrape the first couple feet of snow off the roof edges. That prevents the ice dams. |
- Posted by colorcrazy (My Page) on Sat, Apr 5, 14 at 13:35
Ice dams can also occur if the gutters are not cleaned before winter sets in. We had one around the chimney and it damaged the plaster. Turned out that when the roof was replaced, they didn't bother to replace the old flashing. If you can afford it, have a structural engineer come out and inspect your corners and tell you what caused the ice dams and how to prevent them. Before hiring one, ask if this is the sort of thing they do. Otherwise, a home inspector might be able to do it. |

Ice dams occur because of insufficient insulation and ventilation in the attic. Think of the attic as a hat. It needs to be below freezing in the attic. What happens is that the sun + heat from inside your home heats the attic, and the snow (at the peak of your roof) melts, and runs down the roof. When the melted snow gets to the eave, it freezes (cause the temp of the ever is below 32 deg) and creates an ice dam. You need more vents in the eaves and more insulation in the attic. |
- Posted by toxcrusadr (My Page) on Wed, Apr 16, 14 at 16:28
The above posts sound right on to me. Condition of shingles and flashing, gutter cleaning, venting and insulation. I would have an expert in roofing and insulation look at it, no need for a structural engineer. |
The winter of '11 was the worst in our 25 yrs in MA. We were closing on the house on2/28/11 and we had 5 weeks in a row with major storms. I had 4' of snow on the roof and in 25 yrs had never had a problem with ice dams or interior damage. Yes, clean the gutter and downspouts. Yes, check to make sure the insulation is laid correctly in the attic. Neighbors all over the area were loosing downspouts and gutters and suffering internal damage. You couldn't find peopel to beat the ice off the roof and if you could it frequently resulted in damage to the shingles/down sports and gutters. I had to have a contractor in to repair a wall and ceiling in the M bath. With the closing just a couple weeks away I had to do something. I took 100' of garden hose, connected it to my tankless water heater. Installed a spray nozzle with a shower like pattern. Oh, first I shoveled the roof off. No small job on a 3000sq ft house. I began spraying hot water at the low end ( downspout end) of the roof. I ran hot water for 3 1/2 hours. At the end the roof was as clean as a summer day. There was no shingle or gutter damage. The neighbors, who thought and were possible correct, that I was nuts were asking for my help. Two things. Spray the water from the outside to the inside. Otherwise you will build up water above the ice dam creating more problems than you solve. Cut bread loaves, again to allow water to run off. One more thing. The back of my house was three stories to the ground. The front only two. Don't fall off the roof. A side benefit was that the water run off melted the ice in the driveway. This just demonstrates that well and truly, there is more than one way to skin a cat! |
Up on a 3 story ice covered roof spraying water for 3+ hours, what could possibly go wrong ;-) |
Two words: roof rake. They still make 'em. There is only one plane on my house where the ice tends to build up. The south-ish side has flashing the last 12 inches and the sun on it during the day. The north-ish side is raked every time it snows. |

Argentina is white
This entry has been rejected due to incompleteness or lack of notability.
To dispute this DEADPOOL flagging, please provide suggestions for how this entry can be improved, or request editorship to help maintain this entry.
Per Wikipedia: In Argentina an extensive racist ideology has been built on the notion of European supremacy.[26] This ideology forwards the idea that Argentina is a country populated by European immigrants "bajados de los barcos" (straight off the boat), frequently referred to as "our grandfathers", who founded a special type of "white" and European society that is not Latin-American.
It is a fact that 110% of Argentinians proudly claim to be of pure Italian and perhaps Spanish heritage, with no Amerindian mixture. Upon evidence that the population is, like all other Latin American populations, mestizo, and that this is nothing to be ashamed of, Argentinians will loudly proclaim "ARGENTINA IS WHITE" and will instead blame their purportedly less white neighbors (Chile, Brazil, Bolivia).
Moreover, Argentines consistently label Argentina as the "Europe" of South America, and call themselves individually "European," despite white people in countries like the U.S. or Canada calling themselves Americans or Canadians.
"Argentina is white" comes from the /int/ernational board of 4chan, a notably inflammatory board where people from cultures all around the world can come together to argue over who's the whitest, and who qualifies as white at all. Though officially meant for the discussion of foreign cultures, /int/ is really for closet racists to bitch about the supposed horrors of racial mixing, while guiltily fapping to Asian porn.
While the exact date of when "Argentina is white" and similar participatory trolling first began on /int/ is unknown, it can be traced back to threads throughout the history of /int/ in which Argentinians proudly proclaim their superiority to other Latin Americans by order of their whiteness.
Properly Trolling the Argies
Argentines are known to be the easiest trolls on /int/, just ahead of the French. The best, most tested routes of enraging Argentinians include posting:
-Argentina is not white or
-Islas Malvinas are the Falkland Islands
-Chile is richer and whiter than Argentina
-Bolivians are the new Argentinians
-Anything degrading Che and his poser followers
Interest in Argentina is White
The incessant buttrage of Argies on /int/ has given Argentina a special reputation as racist and uneducated, propagating a series of threads daily making various claims to the Falkland Islands or other territories/rights lost to Argentinians, but threads, catchphrases, and image macros regarding the self-proclaimed "whiteness" of Argentinians are by far the most popular. Aside from Polandball, this is perhaps the most widely known, understood, and image macro'd of the memes on /int/.

Following the formulae that made Unreal Tournament so great the third installment to the series has hit us recently with better than ever graphics. The games uses the latest Unreal Engine which like most modern day games when maxed out puts the pressure on our lineup of graphics cards.
We see good gains with the Crossfire setup and the HD 4850s ending up with the highest score at 2560 x 1600. The single card setup sits around the 9800 GTX/HD 3870 X2 territory, continuing to offer excellent value.

It seems like no animals have more personality than older cats. We've adapted to, and may even enjoy the independent way they run our lives. They make us smile, give us comfort and while we never figure them out - they seem to have us trained! Age is not a disease, but there are some conditions we do need to manage as they age.
The number one cause of death in older cats is kidney disease. As they age, cats begin to lose kidney function, meaning it can't remove toxins as efficiently. However, cats have to lose 80% of their kidney function before they'll show signs of disease. The damage cannot be reversed, so we can only improve the function they have left. Feeding them a low protein, high fiber diet can help stabilize the problem. Oral treatments like Azodyl and Epakitin slow down uremic toxin build up and help manage kidney disease. When used daily these products ease the kidney's job of removing toxins from the blood.
Constipation is caused by dehydration, lack of appetite, and a lack of colon function. In most cats, Grizzly Salmon Oil will alleviate the constipation, but others need added fiber in the diet as well. However, added fiber will increase the litter box odor. Laxatone is an alternative laxative treatment and also helps with hairballs. Geriatric cats often do not drink which complicates the issue. If they are not water drinkers, increased fluids will help, and you can add electrolytes, like Rebound OES, to the water to help with the dehydration.
Lack of appetite is a difficult issue in old cats. If they don't eat, they lose weight. The cause of this lack of appetite is a decreased or lost sense of smell because cats won't eat what they can't smell. The solution is to add smell to their diet. Adding Grizzly Salmon Oil to their food will increase the smell for those cats that have a decreased sense of smell. As a bonus, the fatty acids increase their skin and coat health. This rough hair coat leads to our next problem which is grooming.
Old cats don't get lazy about grooming - they get overwhelmed! Dry hair becomes matted and contaminated with urine or feces. As soon as they can't keep up with grooming, they give up. One solution to this is a sterile clip: clip up the rear to the tail, inside of the back legs and the tummy up to the front legs. The cat will groom just fine if you give them this help. You won't be able to see the sterile clip unless they lay upside down. Cats do not like a body clip and they will often hide for days. Cats like the sterile clip and will do well grooming with a sterile clip. Clippers and blades are inexpensive and easy to use. Old cat hair is often dry, so use a clipper spray, like Oster Kool Lube Spray or Andis Cool Care Plus to keep the blade sliding without pulling the hair or skin. The sterile clip is the easiest grooming help possible.
Bladder infections usually happen in male cats. Amoxicillin is a good antibiotic for bladder issues. However, as cats age, it's better to try and prevent the issue rather than treat it after it happens. Cranberry supplements, like Doc Roy's® CRANBERRY EXTRA or Doc Roy's® POTASSIUM CITRATE + CRANBERRY, are helpful for preventing bladder infections and stones, and most are chicken flavored, so cats eat them well. Adding Cranberry Extra to the diet daily will help prevent reoccurrence of bladder infection eliminating the need to treat.
"Kind of old cat" owners are starting to pick up their cat is aging and not as perfect as when they were younger. Preventing or reversing any possible issues is the goal.
