- California State Legislature
Assemblymember Marc Levine: Support AB 158 (Levine) to ban single use plastic grocery bags.
By banning single-use plastic bags, AB 158 will reduce the environmental and economic impacts of single-use bag pollution in inland and coastal communities throughout the state.
The negative impact of single-use plastic bags is well-documented. Plastic bags and plastic film together represent 2.2% of the waste stream and these bags take more than 1,000 years to breakdown. According to the California Integrated Waste Management Board, it costs Californian's $25 million to dispose of the 19 billion single-use bags used in the state annually.
AB 158 will also encourage the use of reusable grocery bags as a more sustainable alternative to plastic bags.

Chapter XVII (Part Two) : Daphne - A Natural Tracker ☷
She didn't know what to have expected from him. Camden's eyebrows arched up in doubt and a questioning smile made its way to his lips. Thinking it be some kind of a joke, he laughed lightly, shaking his head at Daphne.
"You certainly are the actress, aren't you?"
This time, it was Daphne's turn to look surprised.
"What makes you think I'm joking? I can really show you the way to your house."
The sincerity in her voice caught Camden off guard and he bit down on his tongue, pursing his lips as a serious expression crossed his face. The last time he hadn't accepted her words had led to an awkward silence, and he certainly wouldn't want that to repeat itself.
But how could she possibly be serious?
Daphne smiled at the question marks in his eyes as she stood up, clapping her hands to dust off the remaining particles of soil on her palms. She could read into the thoughts Camden was having inside his head. But this time, her confidence didn't falter.
Daphne knew what she was talking about, and she wouldn't let her shyness get the better of her.

5,000-Mile Radio Telescope Set to Probe Depths of Time and Space
By MALCOLM W. BROWNE,
Published: August 17, 1993
SOCORRO, N.M.— AFTER seven years of construction, a radio telescope spread across 5,000 miles -- the largest astronomical instrument ever built -- is finished.
All 10 of the new telescope's gleaming white antennas, which are scattered across United States territory from the central Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean, are now aimed at a new frontier in deep-space astronomy. Using the Very Long Baseline Array (V.L.B.A.), as the new compound telescope is called, scientists have begun to explore a mysterious region of space-time far away and long ago, where speeding galaxies appear to stand still, huge gas clouds create an unsettling illusion that they are moving at 10 times the speed of light, and galactic jets twist and squirm in the grip of powerful but puzzling forces.
The V.L.B.A. consists of 10 dish-shaped antennas, each 82 feet in diameter, spread across North America from Mauna Kea in Hawaii to St. Croix in the Virgin Islands. All 10 antennas are exquisitely synchronized by the Federally financed National Radio Astronomy Observatory control center here to make them function as a single telescope of gigantic size, an arrangement that gives the V.L.B.A. far sharper vision than that of any other telescope.
The new instrument's resolving power -- the smallest angular distance between two objects that can still be seen as separated from each other -- is a fraction of a milliarcsecond: more than 1,000 times better than the best optical telescopes. With that kind of resolving power, an observer in New York City would be able to read a newspaper in San Francisco.
The monster telescope array is as sensitive as it is sharp-eyed. It is so sensitive that any of its antennas could easily detect even the faint radio waves emitted by the warm tissues of a human being. The V.L.B.A. cannot see visible light or the X-rays and gamma rays on one side of the electromagnetic spectrum, but the microwave radio waves it does see at the other end of the spectrum are opening a new world to astronomers.
The V.L.B.A., which cost $85 million, will be formally dedicated here on Friday , but even during the past year, before all 10 antennas were on line, the instrument has produced some spectacular images. Some of them reveal details never before seen in very distant objects, even by the most powerful optical telescopes.
For example, astronomers using the unfinished V.L.B.A. have discovered a very peculiar jet of radio-emitting particles streaming away from the core of a galaxy named Markarian 501, some 300 million light-years from the Earth. Unlike the straight jets ejected at nearly the speed of light from other active galaxies, this jet is twisted at an angle of nearly 90 degrees, and scientists have not yet found a good explanation. They hope that an understanding of the twisted jet, which has perhaps been warped by some unusual magnetic field, will emerge from further V.L.B.A observations.
Besides revealing details of galaxies as they existed billions of years ago, when the universe was young, the V.L.B.A. will serve as a powerful tool for measuring geological changes, and perhaps even predicting earthquakes, here on Earth.
Geodesy measurements of distant quasars made by pairs of V.L.B.A. radio antennas, for example, will be used to calculate the exact distances between the antennas themselves. These distances of hundreds of miles can be measured to within an accuracy of less than a half-inch of error. Using pairs of astronomical antennas, scientists have already determined that the movement of tectonic plates underlying the Earth's continents is carrying North America away from Europe at a rate of eight-tenths of an inch a year, about the rate at which fingernails grow. The Hawaiian islands, astronomers have determined, are moving westward at a brisk four inches a year.
The United States Geological Survey, the Naval Observatory and National Aeronautics and Space Administration will be among the agencies using the data collected by the V.L.B.A., and seismologists hope that improved measurement of the movement of tectonic plates in the vicinity of fault lines, rifts and other geological features may eventually lead to better prediction of earthquakes. Geologists and seismologists in Japan, China and California are all in touch with V.L.B.A. astronomers and are awaiting more data.
"As with any new and powerful instrument," said Dr. W. Miller Gott, director of the V.L.B.A., "this one will certainly find uses we could not have foreseen. We're sifting through hundreds of research projects proposed by astronomers who hope to use the array, but we'll be able to allot observing time to only about half of the applicants. Some very exciting years lie ahead for this instrument and its users."
The science of radio astronomy began in 1933 with a discovery by Karl Jansky, a scientist working for Bell Telephone Laboratories in New Jersey (renamed A.T.&T. Bell Laboratories), that radio signals were reaching the Earth from outer space. While looking for the source of the static noise that degraded telephone conversations, he accidentally discovered an invisible object called Sagittarius A, something that lies deep within the core of our Milky Way galaxy and emits intense radio waves.

Are You Financially Literate?
What is Financial Literacy?
Financial literacy is understanding the connection between money, goods and services.
It is the knowledge and literacy of how money works, either for or against anybody.
It embodies the knowledge and skills that would allow anyone make informed and efficient decisions.
Did you know that two in three people worldwide are financially illiterate?
According to authors Annamaria Lusardi, Peter von Oudheusden, and Leora Klapper.
They argued that:
"Consumers that fail to understand the concept of compound interest spend more on transaction fees, incur higher interest rates on loans, and run up bigger debts. Consumers end up saving less and borrowing more money. Financial ignorance, therefore, carries significant costs."
In 2005, 5,300 interviews were conducted across the UK.
Four things became apparent from the survey:
- People fail to plan ahead
- People take financial risks without realising the consequence
- Debt problems can be more severe in an economic downturn
- The older generation is more financially capable than the under-40s
It concluded that if steps are not taken to improve the levels of financial capability, financial ignorance could store up trouble in the future.
This video emphasises how important financial literacy is:
In 2014, the World Bank, Standard & Poor's, George Washington University and the Gallup Research Company conducted a 5 question test and Surveyed over 150,000 adults in 148 countries.
The five questions were used to measure financial literacy, the understanding of inflation, interest, risk, and compound interest.
Find out for yourself by taking the financial literacy test.
The five questions encompasses the core understanding of finance:
- How vital risk diversification is when investing?
- Understanding the effects of inflation?
- The ability to calculate the interest on a transaction?
1. Just imagine you have some money to invest. Is it safer to put your money into investments or multiple businesses or to put your money into an investment or one business?
a. An investment or one business b. Investments or multiple businesses
2.If the prices of the things you buy double over the next ten years and your income doubles as well, will you be able to buy less than you can buy today?
a. less b. the same c. more
3.You borrow £100. Which would be the lower amount to pay back: £105 or £100 plus 3%
a. £105 b. £100 plus three percent
4.If you put money in the bank for two years and the bank adds 15%/yr to your account. Will the bank add more money, than it did in the first year, to your account in the second yr, or will it add the same amount of money in both years
a. More b. The same
5.If you had £100 in a savings account. 10 %, is added to the bank account, a year. After five years, how much money would be in the account? If money is not withdrawn from the account?
a. more than £150 b. Exactly £150 c. Less than£ 150

Everyone makes mistakes. But when doctors, nurses, therapists, or dentists make them, the effects can last a lifetime. Patients have a right to expect that medical procedures will be properly performed. Medical malpractice attorneys represent you if you are injured by a healthcare provider's careless or accidental mistakes. For example, if a doctor leaves behind gauze in your body during surgery, resulting in an infected wound that requires even more surgery, the doctor committed medical malpractice. Medical malpractice attorneys can recognize injuries caused by mistakes; they know the most common mistakes that cause injuries, and they know how to find and present information useful to prove your case. Medical malpractice attorneys also know how much insurance is available if the health care provider is responsible for what happened to you.

France calls for auto bosses to give up bonuses
By Helen Massy-Beresford, European Autos Correspondent
PARIS (Reuters) - France's economy minister Christine Lagarde on Wednesday called on top car industry bosses to forfeit their bonuses in return for state aid, as Asian manufacturers faced a fresh round of bad news.
The worsening outlook for global auto sales led Moody's to place Hyundai Motor Co and Kia Motor Corp's ratings under review for possible downgrade.
Many automakers are expecting sales to decline more in 2009 than they did in 2008 as a lack of finance, a deepening recession in major markets and weak consumer confidence batters the car market.
European auto sales fell 7.8 percent year-on-year in 2008.
The Malaysian Automotive Association warned that sales in Malaysia could drop 12.4 percent in 2009, due to the impact of the financial crisis on consumer spending.
In Europe, France's auto industry digested Tuesday's pledge of 5-6 billion euros of state aid, as economy minister Christine Lagarde said that as well as pledging to safeguard jobs in France, bosses at PSA Peugeot Citroen and Renault should give up their bonuses.
Renault Chief Operating Officer Patrick Pelata said on Tuesday at a summit meeting between the French government and the country's struggling auto industry that Renault bosses had known since June that they would not be receiving bonuses, which are linked to the company's financial performance, for the year.
"I think they will have a sufficient sense of responsibility to take these measures themselves but it would seem absurd to me to put state money ... into industrial sectors, into carmakers Renault or Peugeot, and for company boards to decide to award super bonuses with that money," Lagarde told RTL radio.

The aim of this work is to analyse the mechanical response of the masonry specimens under long-term action by means of cyclic tests. To this end laboratory tests were carried out at the Non-Destructive Testing Laboratory of the Politecnico di Torino. The Acoustic Emission technique was employed to assess the damage evolution, and the mechanical properties decay in order to evaluate the extent and the evolution of micro and macro-cracking due to cyclic action until structural collapse in masonry blocks and mortar layers by means of a novel Acoustic Emission analysis technique.

ColdFusion is a multi-threaded application, which means that it can process many requests at the same time. In some case, two requests may be trying to access the same memory space or the same file. Any code that lends itself to this possibility should be locked. To understand why, you need to understand the concept of a race condition.
Race conditions occur when multiple requests attempt to modify the same data at the same moment. In Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Web Application Construction Kit, the authors use the following example:
In this one line of code, APPLICATION.hitCount is being read and modified. Although this happens very quickly, it is possible that two simultaneous requests read the value at the exact same time before either of them has the chance to modify it. Hence, they each read the same value (e.g, 100). They both then add 1 to the value and come up with the same number and set the new hitCount to 101. But since there were actually two separate hits, the new hitCount should be 102.
Although hit counts are not usually mission critical, this does illustrate the problem. The solution is to wrap the code in an exclusive lock:
This forces single-threaded access to this code, which will prevent a race condition from occurring. We used an Exclusive lock, because the memory variable is being modified. In cases where the variable is only being read, you could use a ReadOnly lock:
The examples above used scoped locks, which lock the whole application scope until the code inside the lock has been processed. While this is certainly safe, it can be overkill. To see how, take a look at the following code:
While it's possible that these two pieces of code might be accessed at the exact same time by multiple users, this won't cause any conflict. Yet the way it is written, each request will have to cue up behind the next. Using named locks provides more granularity:
This way, requests only get cued up behind locks of the same name. A couple of warnings:

I wasn't sure why I didn't just torch shadow. I couldn't trust someone that stealthy , sneaky. He made me think of one those people who would abuse his power to steal lie, and creat havoc. I tried to keep my thoughts to myself because we already made the choice he's going to help.
" Shadow how are you going to help us?And why?" I ask
" I'm not asking you so leave me alone." He replies
This guy ticked me off. My eyes went all flaming agian.

Attention Glambs – San Diego's Radio Sophie 103.7 has a challenge every night, where they ask listeners to vote on 2 new songs not currently in their rotation. The winner comes back nightly until defeated. Last night was the debut of Adam Lambert's If I Had You, and it won against 6-night champion Bob Schneider's 40 Dog! I'm sure if the winner stays on long enough, the song will be put into regular rotation.
The challenge is in the 9 PM hour, but you can vote online RIGHT NOW!! I'm not "encouraging" those outside San Diego to participate, but I know you're free to do whatever you want. We don't want him disqualified if a massive amount of votes come in that could not be from San Diego listeners, so please everyone vote with caution! Remember what happened with WWFM? Check back every morning to see if he won, and keep voting.
***Right now he's ahead of Speakers by Days Difference 76% – 24%. Let's keep him on. He's already moved up from 73% – 27% in the last 10 minutes!
**UPDATE – He won Friday's vote 83.5% – 16.5%! Let's keep him champ for a LONG time! Then IIHY will certainly be played regularly!! Check back Monday, and each day following to cast your vote.
Vote here for Adam!
If you know of similar opportunities elsewhere in the country, please comment below and we'll make sure it gets posted also.
For other San Diego stations, call here to request If I Had You:

『Discouraged Workers』 is a satirical story based on the popular Korean soap operas-styled plot. It compares Ga-Yeon's bleak everyday life to the dark side of youth.
A hospital coordinator, Ga-Yeon, fell in love with a doctor at the hospital she was working in and they had an affair even though the doctor was a married man. But when the director found out, she was fired. For over a year she tried to find another job, but her mental uneasiness eventually made her give up and she became a recluse.
A year later, in the spring of 2013, her younger sister, Hye-Na, and her first love Yun-Woo come to her.
A story about the dark side of today's youth and pretty serious everyday life happening around Ga-Yeon.

In the Cincinnati market, you know before you arrive that retail will be interesting. Bell Nursery serves the market, and it clearly was not disappointing. It was a Monday after a very busy weekend when I visited, so it was not typical of the store condition. On top of that, Bell was doing an extensive inventory. The stores were not yet back in shape from the weekend, but it was easy to see the merchandising was far above average by merely looking at the displays that had been put back in shape. As usual, the Bell merchandisers were working hard. They still paid a lot of attention to customers that needed assistance. Home Depot Clearly the leader in this market is Home Depot because of the Bell performance. Word is they are up significantly in store comps year over year, which is not surprising.

Stan Pohmer, CEO of Pohmer Consulting Group, is coordinating the conference and focusing it on overcoming chaos opportunities for growers in a challenging year.

View: The Gardening Boom Of 2009
Read More
In case you haven't heard, according to CNBC and other media sources, we are in the middle of a gardening boom. Scares from salmonella, a return to an organic lifestyle, a way to save money on the grocery bills and gardening as an alternative to exotic, pricey vacation are some of the reasons media sources claim gardening is experiencing a surge in popularity. But as a garden center owner, I wonder, could it be more than that? Could it be something as simple as a longing to return to something easier to understand than today's crazy world? Consider for a moment the frantic pace at which most of us live. Electronically, we are totally wired with everything from iPods to iPhones, Blackberries to laptops, Tweeting to Facebook.

Montgomery's Los Angeles Retail Report
Read More
The weather in Southern California has been erratic and sales are slow with the exception of vegetables that are experiencing unprecedented growth. The weather Friday, May 1 was in the 50s in the morning and into the high 70s by the mid-afternoon hours–ideal weather for gardening. For a Friday, there was minimal traffic in all stores visited with the exception of Armstrong Garden Center in Claremont, Calif. Home Depot Home Depot has a different model in this market versus what I've observed in other parts of the country, using multiple vendors in each store compared to a single-source supply. In some stores, we counted up to three annual and three perennial vendors. This leads to lack of continuity and makes the job of managing the plan-o-grams difficult. Stores have a primary supplier for annuals and perennials with one or two backups. Lowe's Lowe's really excels in merchandising the outdoor aprons, […]

Scullin: How Did Spring Play Out?
Read More
Sitting here mid-spring at the end of April, there are bits of good and bad news to report. First, spring has arrived, despite the naysayers. Birds are singing, lawns are greening and folks are in the garden centers. Despite the gloom and doom, the world did not end. Second, from many reports, people are shopping in both big box and independent garden centers. From a bedding plant perspective, items are moving at a good pace. Some regions of the United States are worse than others, but from all early indications, bedding plants are selling at or near last year's pace in many markets. To quote from this past year's Pack Trials: "Flat is the new up." Depending on weather and region, I'm hearing slightly up or down 5 percent compared to last year. Third, on the expensive stuff, read "expensive" as shrubs, trees or anything with a retail price of […]

It has been cold in Denver. On Saturday, it snowed but the temperatures were in the 70s Sunday with warming throughout the week forecasted. With the cold weather, the products currently on shelves looked remarkably good with some items like calla lilies being more adversely affected. Home Depot Home Depot had a good assortment of products. Clearly, it is prepared for the spring season to get into high gear. There were several geraniums SKUs that really looked good, including some 12-inch baskets of the new Calliope. In the perennials sector, all items are coming from out-of-state suppliers–one from Arizona and one from California. The Bonnie Plant Farms displays had been picked over, indicating consumers are preparing to plant more vegetables even with bad weather. Lowe's Lowe's has vastly improved its in-store merchandising with clean and well-organized displays. Additionally, all items were accurately priced.

Having your life story available to the world is a little unsettling at first, but your information is also the key to reestablishing old friendships, promoting your work or referencing facts of your past. A Google search can be equally beneficial to your greenhouse operation, connecting Web users − potential customers–to your site. But users can only be connected if you have a site for them to visit. And in my hunt for basic information about some of our Top 100 Growers, I discovered a handful of them don't even have websites. Even more astounding, when I tried to reach a few Top 100 Growers by phone, it was impossible […]

Easy Product Upgrades
Read More
A collective tightening of the belts among American consumers likely means growers and retailers will have to work harder in 2009 to capture those oh-so-precious discretionary dollars. But luckily, there are plenty of easy product upgrades you can try that can help you get more bang for your buck. So, how exactly can you elevate the price of a plant without alienating customers? Tal White, general manager at White's Nursery & Greenhouses in Chesapeake, Va., says adding value to an item by adding cost, like bundling a ceramic container with the plant, does not necessarily increase its perceived value to the customer. "We have found that it's necessary to create a brand new item where there's no past perceived value in place," he says. "It creates the opportunity to increase the new item's price in relation to existing items." White is quick to note it's not always an easy task, […]

Montgomery's Baltimore Retail Report
Read More
If anyone has been apprehensive regarding the effects of the recession on the green goods sector, you should have been in Baltimore this past weekend. Wow, were those consumers out in force and opening their wallets! What recession? Consumers were out in droves buying garden plants that included shrubs and small trees. It was so busy we had to park 500 yards away from the entrance of a number of Home Depot stores. Saturday was one of the busiest days I have seen in a long time. It was like a feeding frenzy in some stores. There seemed to be little price sensitivity with hanging baskets at $26.98 moving briskly through the cash registers. We noticed lots of shopping carts with $100 to $200 worth of garden plants. Home Depot Home Depot in the Baltimore area is serviced by Bell Nursery, arguably their premier vendor of green goods. Bell Nursery […]

Who Will Fill Empty Box Stores?
Read More
In the last couple of decades, box stores rose dramatically in numbers across the country. With the most recent economic downturn, though, they have fallen on hard times and either closed large numbers of stores or—like Circuit City—gone out of business completely, leaving vacant boxes in their place. "This isn't a time that big box tenants are looking for new deals," The Chicago Tribune quotes Mike Jaffe, a managing member of the Arboretum of South Barrington in Illinois, an outdoor mall that counted Circuit City as an anchor. "Centers that will survive will need to think outside the box." According to the recent Tribune story, more than 100 million square feet of retail space has opened up throughout the United States in the last year as retailers have gone bankrupt or shuttered unprofitable stores. The story lists retail casualties like Circuit City, which closed more than 700 stores nationwide, as […]

Good morning, and welcome to MFA's fourth quarter 2012 earnings call. Joining me this morning are Bill Gorin, President; Steven Yarad, Chief Financial Officer; Ron Freydberg, Executive Vice President; Craig Knutson, Executive Vice President; Harold Schwartz, Senior Vice President and General Counsel; Kathleen Hanrahan, Chief Accounting Officer; and Gudmundur Kristjansson, First Vice President.
What I'd like to do this morning is just go over some of the highlight of the press release that I hope all of you have had the opportunity to look at. I'm not going to go over the whole thing, but just a number of them that I think are important and then very quickly open the call for Q&A.
So if we're looking at the fourth quarter 2012 highlights, our net income per common share was $0.19 with core earnings per common share of $0.20. Book value per common share grew to $8.99 as of December 31, 2012, compared to $8.80 as of September 30, 2012, and $6.74 at December 31, 2011.
For the year, MFA strategy of investing at both Agency and discounted Non-Agency mortgage-backed securities generated book value share growth of 33%, in addition to quarterly dividend payment. At January 31, 2013, our book value have grown to $9.40, as Non-Agency mortgage-backed security prices have continued to gain additional value.
On March 4, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.50 per share of common stock. This dividend reflects a portion of the re-taxable income in excess of distribution, previously paid to stockholders for prior period. This dividend will be paid on April 10, 2013, to stockholders of record on March 15, 2013.
A combination of both home price appreciation and mortgage amortization has led to a decrease in loan-to-value ratio for many of the mortgages, underlying our Non-Agency portfolio. Due to this lower LTV, we have reduced estimated future losses within our Non-Agency portfolio.
As a result, in the fourth quarter, we transferred $81 million to accretable discount from credit reserve, and transferred $152.5 million in total for 2012. This increase in accretable discount prospectively increases the yield on Non-Agency mortgage-backed securities and will be realized in income over the life of the assets.
Following a detailed review of tax calculations, initiated my management, we determined that REIT taxable income for certain prior periods exceeded distributions made to stockholders. Consequently, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend, totaling approximately $179.4 million.
Approximately $130 million of this distribution will be allocated to the previously undistributed REIT taxable income for 2010 and 2011, with the remainder available to satisfy a portion of 2012 taxable income undistributed to date. Determination of 2012 taxable income will not be finalized until a timely filing of our 2012 tax return, which is expected occur in the third quarter of 2013.

November 2, 2007
Acting Consumer Product Safety Commission Chairman Nancy Nord is under more pressure today in the wake of revelations that industries regulated by her agency have paid for her travel.
The Washington Post reports Nord has traveled to China and other destinations with various industries picking up the tab.
According to the report, both Nord and her predecessor, Hal Stratton, took dozens of trips paid for by the toy, appliance and children's furniture industries and others they regulate. The Post cited internal CPSC documents it said showed the connections.
The records reportedly show that Stratton, and then Nord, made nearly 30 trips since 2002 that were at least partially paid by trade associations or manufacturers. In some cases, the Post reports, some industries paying for travel such as the toy industry have been involved in huge recalls of dangerous products.
The Post revelations brought an angry response from Capitol Hill.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) said such arrangements should be illegal. He said he would introduce legislation that would "prohibit officials at federal regulating agencies from taking travel funded by the industries under their jurisdiction."
Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL) he will offer an amendment to a reform bill that would add provisions along the lines suggested by Menendez.
"Regulators should not and must not accept travel from those they regulate -- period," Durbin said.
The new revelations may increase calls for Nords resignation. A leading consumer group, along with the Speaker of the House, have said she should be fired or forced to step down.
Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-MA), a member of the House committee with key oversight of CPSC, also called for an end to the practice of regulatory officials accepting travel from regulated industries.
Under the Bush administration, the CPSC has become an industry lapdog, instead of an industry watchdog it is supposed to be, Markey said.Public Citizen, yesterday called on Nord to step down.
Public Citizen President Joan Claybrook said it's more than odd that, in a year that has seen an unprecedented number of recalls of unsafe products, the head of the agency designed to protect consumers is calling on lawmakers to reject legislation that would double its budget, beef up its authority and expand its staff.
She also says the CPSCs problems are nothing new.
For far too many years, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has failed to properly protect consumers, hiding behind the excuse that it was underfunded and understaffed, Claybrook said. While there was some truth to that statement, it has been ineffective as a shield from criticism because of the very real connections between the CPSC and industry.
Claybrook says the ties between the agency and the industries it regulates were underscored by the administrations recent nomination of Michael Baroody for the CPSCs top job. Baroody was then the executive vice president for the National Association of Manufacturers.
The would-be new chairman had spent most of his professional life as a lobbyist and political operative on behalf of corporate interests, an unreasonable choice for a pro-consumer leadership position, Claybrook said.
The long-time consumer advocate says its apparent to her that the agency is now avoiding any strengthening of the commission if it means that it will interfere with serving corporate interest groups.
She points out that Nord was a corporate lawyer and an official at the United States Chamber of Commerce before joining the CPSC.
Nord drew consumer fire this week when she testified before the Senate Commerce Committee and withheld her support for S. 2045, a measure Claybrook says would greatly strengthen the agency. Claybrook says its apparent the administration doesnt want that to happen.
Nord has failed a critical litmus test by proving she is no friend to consumers, Claybrook said. She does not belong in a position of power and authority and should resign immediately or be relieved of her duties.

Judicial review used to be just an esoteric part of constitutional law studied by law students and usually forgotten once they qualify and practise in more lucrative areas of the law.
But that no longer seems to be the case. Judicial dissent now seems to be the order of the day.
Judges are often accused of being out of touch and sometimes too outspoken and controversial on the bench. That image is still perpetuated in the press and does exist.
But the former Master of the Rolls, Lord Donaldson, made front page news with his article in The Guardian which outlined his concerns that the Home Secretary's continuing interference in judicial matters could lead to despotic government.
Indeed, the judicial dissent is growing wider with retired Law Lord Lord Ackner and Court of Appeal judge Lord Justice Rose both adding their voices to the criticisms of the Home Secretary's sentencing policy. Even former Lord Chancellor Lord Hailsham has thrown his hat into the ring.
Lord Donaldson concedes any government finds it an affront when it is told by judges that it is not acting lawfully. It is much easier to say, and sometimes believe, the judges are entering the political arena and disagreeing on policy grounds. And chair of the reform campaign organisation the Penal Affairs Consortium Paul Cavadino adds that he has not spoken to a single judge who is in favour of the plans. Rightly, he says that senior judges are right to oppose the proposals, not simply because they restrict judges' discretion, but because they will create serious injustice.
The judiciary is, arguably, one section which can provide informed criticism of law and order policy and practice; it is unusual to see them siding with bodies which would normally be considered of a different political hue.
Let us hope that this is not the last time this happens, or that they all agree on what puts freedoms and justice at risk.
