- How to Read a Study Record
Obesity is an important health problem of modern civilization. In Western societies, almost half of the adult population has problems with an increased body weight. Products containing nutritional fiber has been used by humans for thousands of years. However, beta-glucan as biologically active compound, present in these products, has been identified relatively lately. This substance is a polymer of glucose and is present in two forms: 1,3D-1,6D and 1,3D-1,4D.
Water-insoluble beta-glucan (1,3D-1,6D) has immunomodulatory properties. The aim of the study was the assessment of the influence of beta-glucan 1,3D-1,6D added to the low-calorie diet on insulin sensitivity and the expression of selected proinflammatory cytokines in adipose tissue and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in obese humans with normal glucose tolerance.
The study group consisted of 40 subjects with marked overweight or obesity (body mass index, BMI > 28 kg/m2), without serious concomitant diseases not taking drugs affecting glucose or lipid metabolism, nonsmokers. Only volunteers, who gave written informed consent, after receiving a full information about the aim and the design of the study, were recruited.
At the beginning of the study, after subjects' qualification to the project and before the dietary intervention, the investigators performed:
- anthropometric measurements.
- oral glucose tolerance test.
- euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp.
- PBMC isolation before and after the clamp.
- biopsy of subcutaneous adipose tissue before the clamp.
- isolation of mRNA from PBMC and adipose tissue. Then, the expression of the selected genes with the Real Time PCR was measured.
- After the initial visit, participants received detailed instructions about low-calorie diet, with the aim of reduction of 5-7% of body weight and the examples of menu for 14 days.
Then, participants were randomly assigned to a group receiving or not beta-glucan preparation, as a addition to the low-calorie diet. Each group consisted of 20 subjects. Subjects assigned to a group receiving beta-glucan, received the preparation (BETA GLUCAN 1,3-1,6 Laboratoria Natury 500mg) together with the detailed instruction of its usage. This preparation is used as a non-prescription diet supplement, and the dose of 500 mg daily is indicated by the manufacturer.
After 12 weeks of low-calorie diet, without or with beta-glucan, all the examinations performed at the beginning of the study were repeated.

Implications of Personality Types for Emotional Regulation in Young Women
Personality can be understood as "A dynamic organisation, inside the person, of psychophysical systems that creates a person's characteristic patterns of behaviour, thoughts, and feelings" (Carver & Scheier, 2000). The affective component thus forms an integral aspect of the structure and dynamics of personality. Emotional regulation further refers to a person's ability to understand and accept his or her emotional experience, to engage in healthy strategies to manage uncomfortable emotions when necessary, and to engage in appropriate behavior especially when distressed. Working on the assumption that personological typifications would lend colour to the psychological functioning of individual. The present study aimed at exploring how dominating personality types effect emotional self regulation styles amongst young women. The sample of the study comprised of 200 undergraduate female students. Personality assessment was carried out by using Myers- Briggs Type Indicator by Myers & Mccaulley (1998) and emotional regulation was assessed using the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale by Gratz & Roemer (2004). Results of the study reveal the significant role of personality types in influencing typical emotional self regulatory patterns in young women. Identifying personality types thus becomes relevant in context of social and occupational adjustment of young women, since success in there domain largely depends upon effective emotional functioning. Key words: personality types, emotional regulation, young women

I am a bigger girl and love skinny to athletic guys. I used to have no problem getting them either. But been out of the game due to a ldr which is over and having a tough time in the wild. Tips, ideas, and whatever you do do not tell me to lose weight its not proper.
just got over a LDR, having trouble getting back into dating
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 2
There are guys out there who like bigger girls, the biggest thing is showing you respect your body, for me most people who are bigger and I mean obese also smoke, have ridiculous diets with no exercise which shows me they don't care about their health or respect themselves. If your bigger and still do things to take care of yourself, keep white teeth, dress nice, don't order a whole family's worth of food at McDonald's, don't smoke or anything like that then it'll be a lot easier to find guys who like you. Be flirty, be nice, and be confident (not to be confused with bitchy), and be yourself, you'll find guys who like you how you are.00|00|0
Yeah never got that. I prefer a salad over most stuff unless its Mexican or a cheeseburger. Smoking is gross and not having white teeth is as well. Dressing sloppy does nothing for the appearance either. I prefer to stay on the fitted, but not tight side, unless I am at home or its a sweatshirt.
You should have no problems finding guys that'll like you then, that is my honest opinion, as I said just be flirty, be nice to guys and be yourself, find some social hangouts in your area and be outgoing. Best of luck
Just get out there and do it. You think you can get whatever guy you want, so I don't know why you're asking for advice.00|00|0

States Bearing Gifts
The increases in Roth IRA contribution limits, Health Savings Accounts, the tax-rate cuts, and the possible LSA's and RSA's are good, but we should all be wary of States bearing gifts. Though it may be difficult to see, The State, headed by President Bush, is eliminating many "loopholes" it previously created, upon astonishment that people are taking advantage of them. The most aggregious one is this:
Currently, certain provisions in the law permit US citizens to claim some credits in income earned abroad, so as to avoid double taxation. The Bush administration is making that impossible for foreign withholding taxes. It also requires a longer timetable on foreign property holdings to make them eligible for credits — Rockwell
and this:
the US has an emigration problem, as more and more people renounce citizenship to get away from the tax state. But it's not that easy. As if to remind us that we are all slaves to the state, the Bush administration plans to slap an extra link on the chain of expatriates. To the everlasting disgrace of the US government, it taxes people for a full ten years after they cease being citizens. Some aspects of the law allow people some flexibility and those will be repealed. Also, the government will presume the right to tax you forever until you give explicit notice to the effect that you are no longer a citizen, and once you do this, you can't be in the country for more than 30 days per year, and you must file an annual report. — Rockwell
This creates a division between economic man and moral man. On the one hand, larger contribution limits to Roth IRAs, RSAs, HSAs, and especially LSAs are good, the overall tax situation will become worse if Bush is re-elected. So, what is the voting tax-payer to do? If he supports his own interests — which for many, would be voting Bush, due to the RSAs and LSAs, though not necessarily, as they may not be enacted, and the already existing Roth's and HSAs are unlikely to be eliminated — then he is doing so at the expense of everyone else, who are now more heavily burdened by The State. This is a prime example of what Rothbard talked about when he said under The State, individuals benefit themselves by harming others; whereas under the free market, individuals benefit themselves by serving others. Likewise, voting for a Democrat is equally undesireable (though historically, the biggest increases in government spending occur under Republican administrations). Nor would voting for a Libertarian do much, as they're not likely to be elected, and even if they were, what could they do, other than forestall the US' march towards socialism? One thing is of relative certainty. Any good changes with regards to the tax situation — loopholes which allow people to keep more of their own money, reduced tax rates in some areas, tax-sheltered accounts — are likely to be transient. The bad things are here to stay.

Jalapeno Tofu & Egg Pate
Be the first to review
READY IN: 10mins
Recipe by Some1sGrandma
My version of something I bought at the "health food" section of our nearest market. It is great on dry toasted very thin sliced breads including rye. It is also good on crackers. Spread this thin--it is not egg salad sandwich! Use it like you would if you were just putting a little butter or peanut butter or cream cheese on your toast. If you spread it too thick it will be too salty! You will only like this if you like jalepeno and garlic!
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup firm tofu
- 5 large eggs (hard boiled and peeled)
- 2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons canned jalapeno peppers (no juice)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon canned garlic (or the kind in jar)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon lime juice
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 -2 tablespoon water
Directions See How It's Made
- Put all ingredients in food processor (I use my mini-processor for this).
- Blend/Chop until smooth and creamy.
- Should be about as thick as mayonnaise or just a little thinner.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
- Actually tastes better the next day when flavors have blended well and mixture firms up a bit.

When YRC Worldwide Inc (NASDAQ: YRCW) posted its 2Q2016 and 1H2016 financial results, it was clear that the results weakened compared to the year ago periods. But that didn't stop the management from sounding optimistic, which leads to the questions of what the management knows about the future and whether you can remain confident that things will turnaround in the company.
Stable balance sheet
If you look at YRC Worldwide Inc (NASDAQ: YRCW)'s balance sheet, you begin to see why the management of the company is not raising the alarm despite the difficult global economic conditions. The company's liquidity position improved significantly in 2Q2016 and the six months to June 30. As such, cash and cash balance as of June 30 stood at $278.8 million, indicating an increase of $52.7 million over the cash balance in the same period a year ago.
With adequate cash, YRC Worldwide Inc (NASDAQ: YRCW) can continue operating normally regardless of the difficulties in trucking industry. The Brexit vote and mixed economic data coming out of the U.S. and parts of Asia have created a difficult environment for many companies. But there are hopes that additional easing measures in Europe and Asia as expected in the near-future would help bring back demand for trucking services.
What happened in 2Q for YRC Worldwide Inc (NASDAQ: YRCW)?
YRC Worldwide posted EPS of $0.83 on revenue of $1.21 billion. But metrics declined from the same period last year. However, they were still better than the average Wall Street estimate that called for EPS of $0.51.
Despite beating the consensus estimate, YRC Worldwide's CEO James Welch said in a statement that the results were not what were expected for the quarter. Going forward, he said the management will continue to focus on actions within its control to ensure that performance doesn't deteriorate.
It also turns out that reinvesting is paying off for YRC Worldwide Inc (NASDAQ: YRCW) and that is an area that the management would want to focus on in the future to boost revenue and earnings.

if I find a guy studying for finals in the library, how do I connect with him? what can I do? should I do anything or should I just leave it?

What Girls Said 2
If you approach someone studying in the library for finals, there is really only two ways it could go down. One, he is extremely miffed, because he's stressed out about finals and someone starts interrupting his focus, distracting him and preventing him from getting the time alone he needed. He'll look at you as a bad influence for disrupting him during an important time.
Two, he's looking for distraction to keep him sane. You're the perfect distraction from his studies, and spends most of the night talking with you. You two bond in the time because he'll change all his focus from his studies (that he's avoiding) to you. Then after finals you two already have the connection to start on.10|10|0
Definitely this. It's a gamble as to whether your approach would be welcome. If you want to increase your chances of not being a disturbance, try somewhere more casual, like a coffee shop, and find guys who aren't studying so intensely. You're also less likely to get shushed in a coffee shop than a library.
Honestly I'd leave it alone, when I'm in the library I am focused and in the zone, and the last thing I'd want is for someone to bother me, I can't imagine it being much different for guys...00|00|0

We have stayed here numerous times since it opened several years ago as a HIE (now it is a HI). Every time we return, I worry that the quality may have gone down since the last time we stayed. Never. Always has been a good hotel for staying the night. Clean. Friendly staff. Spacious rms w/micro, frig. Even though the hotel no longer serves the free breakfast (since it is now a HI), the dining option on-site is reasonably priced ($8 for breakfast buffet inc. drink - kids under 12 eat free). Tip: If you need connecting rooms, make sure you request 2 rooms with 2 doubles in each room in your reservation I was told by the staff that they can't guarantee an adjoining rm, but you have a better chance at getting it if you request this bed configuration. When we were driving to the hotel, we called to check on our request. The hotel was able to accomodate - which was a relief since we were traveling with family.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Our Beckley WV Hotel Welcomes you to a WV Vacation Paradise Discover the wild beauty and storied history of southern West Virginia when you stay at the smoke free Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites in Beckley WV. Ideally located off I-77 our Beckley hotel is close to the area's major attractions and businesses. Families enjoy our location because it provides easy access for their WV vacation. The Exhibition Coal Mine and Coal Heritage Trail are both nearby and offer a glimpse of West Virginia's coal mining past. The Tamarack is just a mile from our hotel. West Virginia also boasts the best world-class white-water rafting in the eastern US. After a day on New River's Class III-V rapids you'll be thankful for a Beckley hotel with a hot tub. Our indoor pool features an ADA-accessible lift; just another one of our Beckley hotel's thoughtful amenities. Business guests know that lodging in our Beckley hotel means convenient access to the adjacent Mountaineer Conference Center as well as the I.R.S. and Federal Court.

- Craft Brew Alliance, one of America's first craft breweries, was hampered by a lack of visibility into forecasts, capacity, inventory, and transportation which increased costs and created a barrier to the company's growth goals. The supply chain team set out to build an integrated platform for Craft Brew Alliance (CBA) to decrease costs, improve efficiency and scale to support significant growth. Craft Brew Alliance transitioned from a DC-driven distribution network of 10 regional centers to a direct ship model to more than 500 wholesalers. Following the rollout of Logility Voyager Solutions, CBA was able to improve service levels to a consistent 98 percent, significantly increase inventory turns and transition to a customer distribution network with 50 times the complexity.
- CooperVision, one of the world's largest manufacturers of contact lenses, has seen dramatic growth over the past several years through both organic initiatives and acquisitions. As the company grew, its product portfolio became more complex with over one million SKUs. The supply chain organization set out to create a more efficient global supply chain to drive a trusted demand plan, improve customer service, and synchronize inventory with demand. With Logility Voyager Solutions, a detailed forecast analysis at the item level as well as aggregate views now provides the supply chain team with both a reliable process and a significantly more accurate forecast at the item level. CooperVision can determine manufacturing frequency, impact on inventory turns and reduce inventory obsolescence. This visibility has helped CooperVision make better decisions about production assignments and inventory policies.
- PartyLite, a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of scented and unscented candles, bath products and decorative accessories for the home, relied on non-integrated, manual tools to generate its worldwide demand plan for its highly promotional business. This created higher than ideal inventory, lower than desired service levels, and a higher percentage of expedited and obsolete inventory. PartyLite set out to generate a worldwide demand plan that could be reconciled against a country, and market forecast and financial plan, and support dramatically lower supply chain working capital and inventory expense. The company also set a goal to achieve its return on investment (ROI) in less than one year. Following its deployment of Logility Voyager Solutions, PartyLite achieved a 30 percent reduction in air freight costs, reduced active finished goods inventory by 34 percent and excess and obsolete inventory 47 percent, and increased inventory turns on active inventory 94 percent. In addition, PartyLite realized its ROI several months ahead of target.
- Sonoco Products, a global provider of packaging products and services, needed to improve service levels, reduce inventory, increase forecast accuracy, and support future growth. The company instituted a formal sales and operations planning (S&OP) process. Initially, preparing the data for the S&OP process required significant manual effort and supported a very limited planning horizon for future visibility of demand and supply. Following the deployment of Logility Voyager Solutions, Sonoco Products reduced its forecasting process effort 80-90 percent at the high level giving key deployment resources the ability to drill down into more detailed forecasts and the overall S&OP process. Sonoco Products has blended the use of forecast based supply chain practices with demand pull processes to create more agile supply chains allowing for collaborative demand management, a sales & operations planning process, and a LEAN transformation and cash/cost optimization of the supply chain. With increased visibility and more comprehensive statistical analysis, Sonoco Products has reduced total forecast error by an impressive 50 percent, and has tangibly improved its inventory position.
- Stanley Black & Decker, a global manufacturer and marketer of quality power tools, hand tools, and accessories, embarked on a global initiative to implement multi-echelon inventory optimization to help improve fill rates and lower working capital. As the inventory optimization process matured, Stanley Black & Decker was able to move beyond balancing inventory investment to provide recommendations for what will help stakeholders meet Stanley Black & Decker's needs and, in parallel, help Stanley Black & Decker determine where to focus its LEAN resources internally and in the extended supply base. Logility Voyager Inventory Optimization is being used to help assess strategic projects like manufacturing and distribution footprint changes, testing the impact of best practices on inventory planning, support of minimum order quantity and lead time reduction efforts, and evaluate customer-driven changes to distribution or terms. Stanley Black & Decker has seen tangible benefits in each phase of its inventory optimization evolution. For example, the company was able to reduce targeted finished goods days of stock from one of its largest manufacturing plants by 25 percent and reduce the amount of raw materials and components in the same plant by 17 percent with no adverse impact to customer service levels.
Logility Inc., a leading supplier of collaborative solutions to optimize the supply chain, today announced the recipients of the 2012 Logility Leadership Award. This year Craft Brew Alliance, CooperVision, PartyLite, Sonoco Products, and Stanley Black & Decker were recognized at Logility's Connections 2012 conference for driving excellence in their operations through the use of supply chain software. For photos of the award winners, please visit: www.logility.com/sails. Logility's annual award program recognizes a select group of companies who significantly improved their business processes, deployed an innovative solution to address their supply chain challenges, or demonstrated an on-going commitment and leadership role in the expansion of supply chain improvements. Each of this year's award recipients demonstrated success in building collaboration, efficiency and visibility across their supply chain networks. These efforts resulted in tangible business benefits including inventory reduction, streamlined sales and operations planning (S&OP) process, increased forecast accuracy, improved manufacturing planning, reduced transportation costs, and higher customer service levels through the innovative use of supply chain management software. Examples of the winners' achievements in operational performance include:

Clause (11)
engages in any business or occupation other than the profession of chartered accountants unless permitted by
the Council so to engage:
Provided that nothing contained herein shall disentitle a chartered accountant from being a director of a
Company, (not being a managing director or a whole time director), unless he or any of his partners is interested in
such company as an auditor; This is a provision introduced to restrain a member in practice from engaging himself in any business or occupation other than that of Chartered Accountant except when permitted by the Council to be so engaged. The objective is to restrain members from carrying on any other business in conjunction with the profession of accountancy and
combining such work with any business which is not in keeping with the dignity of the profession. Another reason for the introduction of such prohibition is that a Chartered Accountant, if permitted to enter into all kinds of business, would be able to advertise for his other business and thereby secure an unfair advantage in his professional practice.
The Council, on a very careful consideration of the matter, has formulated Regulations 190A & 191 which are reproduced below,
specifying the activities with which a member in practice can associate himself with or without the permission of the Council.
190A. Chartered Accountant in practice not to engage in any other business or occupation
A Chartered Accountant in practice shall not engage in any business or occupation other than the profession of accountancy,
except with the permission granted in accordance with a resolution of the Council. Please refer to Appendix (9) of the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988, (see Appendix-F).
191. Part-time employments a Chartered Accountant in practice may accept
Notwithstanding anything contained in Regulation 190A but subject to the control of the Council, a Chartered Accountant in practice may act as a liquidator, trustee, executor, administrator, arbitrator, receiver, adviser or representative for costing, financial or taxation matter, or may take up an appointment that may be made by the Central Government or a State Government or a court of law or any other legal authority or may act as a Secretary in his professional capacity, provided his employment is not on a salary-cum-full-time basis.
The Council has considered the question of permitting members in practice to become a Director, Managing Director, full time/Executive Director etc. and related issues and the following decisions have been taken:-
As regards the question of permitting a member in practice to be a Director, Promoter/Promoter- Director, Subscriber to the Memorandum and Articles of Association of any Company, it was decided that:
(a) Director of a Company
(i) The expression Director Simplicitor means an ordinary/simple Director.
(ii) A member in practice is permitted generally to be a Director Simplicitor in any Company including a board-managed
Company and as such he is not required to obtain any specific permission of the Council in this behalf unless he or
any of his partners is interested in such Company as an auditor, irrespective of whether he and/or his relatives hold
substantial interest in that Company.
(b) Promoter/Promoter-Director There is no bar for a member to be a promotor/signatory to the Memorandum and Articles of Association of any Company. There is also no bar for such a promoter/signatory to be a Director Simplicitor of that Company irrespective of whether the objects of the Company include areas which fall within the scope of the profession of Chartered
Accountants. Therefore members are not required to obtain specific permission of the Council in such cases. It must be clarified that under Section 25 of the Chartered Accountants Act, no Company can practise as a Chartered Accountant.
Item Nos. 4 of the Specific Resolution would be equally applicable to member carrying out the activities referred to therein in his capacity as Karta/representative of HUF provided he is not actively engaged in carrying on such activities.

Curriculum in CCISD
Building Futures
Goals for Today
1. I can explain the role of the state in the development of curriculum and assessments that guide teaching and learning in Texas public schools.
2. I understand that curriculum standards and assessments have changed drastically over the years.
3. I can explain the process that CCISD uses to develop local curriculum.
It Begins With the State Board of Education
The State of Texas requires all public school districts to teach the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). The TEKS are instructional objectives that are developed by a committee of educators, parents, business and industry leaders, and employers. The State Board of Education (SBOE) members nominate committee members to develop the TEKS. The SBOE also approves the proposed TEKS.
State Assessments have evolved over the years. Starting with TABS in the 80's, we have experienced five different iterations: TABS, TEAMS, TAAS, TAKS, and now STAAR
Assessing the TEKS Today
The STAAR assessment program includes annual assessments for grades 3–8 in reading and mathematics; assessments in writing at grades 4 and 7; in science at grades 5 and 8; and in social studies at grade 8; and end-of-course assessments for English I, English II, Algebra I, biology and U.S history.
Local District Process
1. Curriculum team studies the TEKS and the most recent state and national assessments to be able to "plan with the end in mind". We also consider 21st century skills and college and career readiness standards.
2. Curriculum team deconstructs the TEKS into "student friendly" language and prioritizes the essential understandings.
Example: History. The student understands the emergence of the United States as a world power between 1898 and 1920. The student is expected to:
(A) explain why significant events, policies, and individuals such as the Spanish-American War, U.S. expansionism, Henry Cabot Lodge, Alfred Thayer Mahan, Theodore Roosevelt, Sanford B. Dole, and missionaries moved the United States into the position of a world power.
3. The Curriculum team determines which TEKS should be given the greatest priority. Next, the team bundles student outcomes into units and determines pacing guides.
4. Master teachers provide input on the previous work, then suggest possible learning experiences, recommend resources, and give helpful hints to guide novice teachers.
5. Teachers collaborate on lesson design at the campus level. Utilizing the curriculum planning guides, teachers design learning experiences and performance tasks for students.

Can I use the Google Analytics Widget to track multipage forms?Asked by Abi Gedye on June 16, 2015 at 12:05 PM
I would like to be able to track how a visitor to my website, who is using my sign up multipage jotform, through the form from the first stage to the last. So tracking them on a per page basis? This way I can check if people are dropping out at certain stages and look to improve the process.
Is this something that the Google Analytics Widget would be able to do?
If not, could you please advise me as to how I could achieve this?
Many thanks
JotForm Support
I believe Google Analytics should be able to see give you detailed activity in your form. If the form uses page breaks, the clicks on the "Next" and "Back" button should be recorded.
If not, you can also try the other Form Analytics widget found here: http://widgets.jotform.com/search/analytics.
I hope that somehow this helps.
Thank you.

Ms. WATERS. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
I rise to strongly oppose H.R. 1062. This bill places significant additional requirements for economic analysis by the Securities and Exchange Commission, effectively bringing any efforts at rulemaking to a standstill.
Let's be clear: the purpose of this legislative effort is to stop implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act dead in its tracks. After losing in Congress, the fight against the Dodd-Frank act moved to the courts, beginning with overturning the proxy access rules they adopted under authority provided by that act.
Although I agreed fully with the SEC's position, they went with their friends to court and the court found that the SEC did not meet its already significant requirements to conduct an economic analysis.
After the proxy access case was overturned, the SEC adopted improved standards for conducting cost-benefit analyses. These procedures were cited by the GAO just last December as having all of the elements of good regulatory analysis. Basically, what the GAO is saying is we took a look, we studied it, and they do a good job.
Nonetheless, the bill before us today adds even more requirements, tying up the SEC resources, and putting it at even greater risk for litigation for every rule, despite the assurances of my Republican colleagues that they're only applying the terms of an executive order to the SEC. That executive order explicitly protects agencies from lawsuits based on their economic analysis. H.R. 1062 has no such protection for the SEC.
The Commission is undertaking a valiant effort to finish the Dodd-Frank and Jobs Acts rule, even in the face of attempts by the majority to restrict their funding. As the SEC attempts to balance capital formation with the need to protect investors, this bill weights the scales heavily in favor of industry over investors. In fact, the words ``investor protection'' do not appear anywhere in this bill.
Even without this bill, we can count on industry lobbyists to sue the SEC anytime it sees a weakness in the justification supporting a rule, as they have in several other cases currently before the courts.
And this bill does not apply only to new rules. This is extraordinary--and I want to say this so everybody understands--this bill would require the Commission to review every rulemaking ever issued--even those that have protected our securities markets since the Great Depression--1 year after the adoption of this bill, and then again every 5 years thereafter. As a result, the Commission will be forced to divert resources away from other key areas, such as enforcement.
This comes at a time when House Republicans want to hold SEC funding flat, despite the SEC's new responsibilities--the increase in the number of participants it oversees and the growth of complexity and the size of U.S. securities markets.
It is ironic that as House Republicans push this bill forward, they are also calling for the SEC to speed up its efforts on Jobs Act rules. This bill makes it impossible for the SEC to meet the very deadline we adopted just 2 days ago when we passed H.R. 701.
I urge my colleagues to oppose H.R. 1062, and I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. WATERS. I yield myself the balance of the time.
In closing, allow me to quote one of the Financial Services Committee members in a hearing yesterday, because I think it is so important for us to understand that the SEC is our cop on the block that has the responsibility for protecting investors.
Let us understand that my colleagues on the opposite side of the aisle are opposed to the SEC having an adequate budget. They do everything that they can to cut the budget, to deny the resources; but they keep adding on additional responsibilities, recognizing that the SEC has a tremendous load. Not only do they have all of the work, the cost-benefit analysis that they do on everything, but they have the responsibility of rulemaking for all of Dodd-Frank, which is the reform legislation that will cause us to eliminate risk and to protect our constituents and the citizens of this country.
But let me just say that yesterday, during a Financial Services Committee hearing, Chairman Emeritus Spencer Bachus said that it would be penny-wise and pound foolish for there not to be a bipartisan agreement for raising the funding or increasing the funding for the SEC.
And I think that's important to get out there. They need more resources; and while we have this bill that's costing them more money to simply implement what they would like to do in H.R. 1062, they oppose giving additional resources.
In addition to that, let's talk about this court action. We mentioned early on that the SEC had been taken to court on proxy access. What are we talking about?
We're talking about the fact that the institutional investors, the ones who are responsible for investing the money so that the workers, the public workers, the firemen, the police, the teachers, all can have adequate retirement. And so our institutional investors wanted very much to ensure that the companies that they're investing in are managing these funds well, and they simply wanted the ability to place proxy access into the proxy materials so that they could nominate directors to the board to make sure that they're overseeing the money for all of our first responders and our employees.
Well, my friends on the opposite side of the aisle teamed with Wall Street and they went to court and they made this big case, and it was right here in Washington, D.C., in the district court. And they got an opinion. They got a ruling.
And so the SEC went back and it said, basically, to everybody, all of its employees, what have you, let's do even more. And on top of them not only saying let's do more and instruct the employees to do more, then they come with this bill and want to put more on top of that.
This is not about those people that Mr. Hensarling referred to around the kitchen table talking about jobs. This is about protecting Wall Street. This is about tying up the SEC. This is about making sure the SEC is not able to carry out its responsibilities.
This, again, is about putting us all at risk. This is about not being about the investors, but being about the markets. This, again, is about protecting those who really need no protection, those who placed us at risk to begin with, those who not only placed us at risk, but would do it again if we allow them to do it.
I don't know why my friends on the opposite side of the aisle would be opposed to something like proxy access and then lined up in the courts again with other litigation, litigation that's going to take away precious dollars from the SEC that they need to protect us, to protect the investors.
But, no, they come to this floor and they simply describe this bill in ways that it really is not. This is dangerous, it is irresponsible, it is not something that the people of this country would expect of people that they sent to Congress to represent them.
This, again--and we'll say it over and over again as it has been said by so many who have come here and testified today on this side of the aisle--this is about protecting Wall Street. This is about protecting those who simply want to find ways to keep the SEC from stopping them in their rulemaking from doing things that will be harmful to the American public.
And so, Mr. Chairman and Members, I say to you we should all stop and think about this. And for all those who are listening, all of the Members on both sides of the aisle, we should think about our responsibility here today and understand what this bill is all about and vote ``no,'' a resounding ``no'' on this bill.
Let us make sure that people are not saying a few years from now, oh, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I should not have tied the hands of the SEC. I should have been more careful. I should not have listened to what was being said by the very people who caused us the problem in the first place.
I think if our Members stop and they listen and they pay attention that they're going to oppose this bill, even some on the opposite side of the aisle. And I think some of them know this. They know that they're being asked to support something that may not be in the best interest of their constituents, but they might want to go along with the leadership.
But it's not time to go along with the leadership. It's time to be independent. It's time to look at the facts and vote ``no'' on this bill.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. WATERS. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
This amendment adds a requirement that the SEC analyze the number of jobs created or lost as a result of a new rule or order, while differentiating between public and private sector jobs.
Although this amendment is not by itself problematic, it layers one more requirement onto a bill already bursting with onerous cost-benefit requirements. And while counting the jobs created or lost because of a particular regulation is a noble goal, we have to view this goal in the context of the overall bill, which tips the scales heavily in favor of industry over investors, including the pension plans for millions of Americans.
The criteria by which the SEC would need to engage in cost-benefit analysis under H.R. 1062 would have the Commission make all decisions on the basis of whether the rules impose the least burden on ``market participants.'' In fact, nowhere in the bill are the words ``investor protection'' used, despite the fact that a central mission of the Securities and Exchange Commission is to protect investors.
Let's be clear: H.R. 1062 is essentially a solution in search of a problem. This bill is not about refining the SEC's cost-benefit analysis. The Commission, in fact, has already done that by adopting a new set of guidelines to ensure that its analysis meets the very high bar set in the decision overturning their proxy access rule. Instead, this bill is about making it easier for industry groups to overturn SEC regulations in the courts.
After the 2008 financial crisis, the public spoke; and they demanded that Congress stand up and legislate rules of the road to prevent another crisis. So we took action to regulate the over-the-counter derivatives market, improve corporate governance, implement the Volcker rule to stop commercial banks from gambling with depositor money, and to reform the credit ratings agencies that slapped AAA ratings onto toxic securities.
Having lost that battle here in Congress, the industry--with the help of some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle--is now waging a new, quiet battle to have these regulations thrown out in court. H.R. 1062 abets that goal by making it significantly easier for the industry to win in court. This is a key differentiation from the President's executive order on cost-benefit analysis, whose requirements cannot be used as a basis for litigation.
So, again, this amendment is harmless, but it amends what is a deeply problematic bill.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. WATERS. I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Chairman, this amendment doubles down on all of the problems raised by H.R. 1062 by imposing the same burdensome cost-benefit analysis requirements on the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, or MSRB, and certain self-regulatory organizations as the underlying bill imposes on the SEC.
Beyond the problems caused by H.R. 1062, this amendment would further put individual citizens and taxpayers at risk by tying the hands of the MSRB, which is entrusted with regulating dealers of municipal securities, including city bond issuances.
The Wall Street Reform Act expanded the mission of the board to protect State and local governments and to regulate, for the first time in history, the individuals who provide municipalities with financial advice.
We had good reason to expand the mission and responsibilities of the MSRB under Dodd-Frank. Like many borrowers who were sold exotic mortgages based on the representations made by mortgage brokers in the lead-up to the financial crisis, we saw that many municipalities entered into complex financial instruments that they didn't fully understand. At the same time, we saw that many financial advisers to municipalities were involved in pay-to-play scandals and recommended unsuitable investments, particularly to small communities. The result was the imposition of substantial costs on taxpayers in communities across the country. The most high-profile example is the case of Jefferson County, Alabama, which entered into the largest municipal bankruptcy in history after a simple sewer bond financing deal ended with the county going broke over faulty interest rate derivatives.
This amendment will make it much more difficult for the MSRB to regulate the financial entities selling these derivative products to our small counties, cities, and towns.
But that's just one example. The amendment would impose similar onerous requirements on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority--that is FINRA--the self-regulatory organization for broker-dealers, and the Public Companies Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates the auditing industry.
Again, this amendment doubles down on what is already a harmful bill by extending the same onerous requirements of self-regulatory organizations. I see no reason why the Congress would want to further tip the scales in favor of Wall Street over Main Street.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Ms. WATERS. Thank you very much.
Mr. Chairman and Members, I would like to thank the gentlelady from New York for bringing this amendment today. As a matter of fact, the opposite side should thank her, too, because she is giving them an opportunity to back out of this awful bill that will be harmful and that is ill-informed and to get on with just saying that her resolution would make good sense. So I am eager to support this amendment from the gentlelady from New York.
The amendment strikes all bill text and replaces it with a sense of Congress, reiterating all the economic analysis requirements already imposed on the SEC.
Specifically, current law requires the SEC to conduct economic analyses pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Congressional Review Act and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as well as additional cost-benefit analysis per the National Securities Markets Improvement Act.
Ms. WATERS. This is the final amendment to the bill, which would not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage, as amended.
This motion ensures the ability of the SEC to continue to protect investors and enforce the securities laws. I want to emphasize that this motion does not stop the bill, but it does flag the very important ways in which we need to let the SEC act. The motion would ensure that the SEC can protect investors and enforce the securities laws in two specific areas:
First, the motion will ensure that this bill does not reduce the ability of the SEC to protect the pension plans of our firefighters and police, the people on whom we rely as our first responders, as well as the pension plans of teachers and other retirees against fraudulent and deceptive practices. Protecting investors is a core element of the SEC's mission and one that we ignore at our peril. This week is Police Officers Week. Do we really want to honor our men and women in service by stripping them of protections for their hard-earned and hard-won earnings? Mr. Speaker, these protections become ever more crucial as we rely increasingly on the securities markets for our retirement savings.
Second, the motion to recommit focuses on protecting investors by ensuring that the SEC can protect against the takeover of American firms by foreign companies, particularly Chinese companies, that are using such mergers to access the investor funds in our capital markets without going through the SEC registration process. The SEC has had numerous enforcement actions against such companies which purchase a small company and merge it with a larger, often fraudulent, foreign company. It has worked hard to protect the savings of hardworking Americans, including union pension holders and other pensioners, from being disadvantaged by these Chinese firms that don't play by the same rules.
Both of these areas highlight the importance of SEC action to protect investors, particularly those preparing for retirement. With Americans increasingly dependent on the securities markets to protect their retirement savings, it is more critical than ever to ensure that we preserve the ability of the SEC to act.
Just yesterday, we heard from the SEC's new chairwoman, Mary Jo White. When we asked her about this bill, she said that she found it ``very troubling.'' I don't imagine that a former prosecutor who took on the Mob and terrorists is easily troubled. Indeed, she said that she had already needed at least 45 new economists to meet the need for an expanded economic analysis under the SEC standards, but she couldn't hire them due to the sequester. This is troubling indeed.
Rather than helping the SEC to do its job better, we are cutting its budget and throwing up new roadblocks, like this bill. It is a mistake. I urge my colleagues to support this motion, and I yield back the balance of my time.
