Municipal-tax fix is needed

Ohio's businesses operating in more than one city need a break from the state's crazy-quilt system of municipal income taxes. House Bill 5, introduced recently by Republican Reps. Cheryl Grossman of Grove City and Mike Henne of Clayton, would provide relief without compromising cities' home rule.
An earlier effort to deal with the problem went further, proposing a centralized system for collecting municipal income taxes.
That raised the ire of the Ohio Municipal League, whose members are loathe to surrender any control over a revenue source that, for many cities and villages, represents 70 percent of their budgets.
But the municipal group also opposed House Bill 601, Grossman's and Henne's effort last year, even though it did not call for centralized collection. The bill died at the end of the legislative session.
The new version, like H.B. 601, calls for simplification and standardization of local income-tax codes without going to centralized collection.
Backers of H.B. 5 point to several further changes from H.B. 601, changes they say were made to address some of the other concerns of cities and villages.
The new measure's low bill number — generally reserved for high-priority items — indicates how important legislative leaders believe the issue is to Ohio's economic development.
The problem lies in Ohio's strong home-rule tradition. The state is one of only 10 that allow cities and villages to assess income taxes.
On top of that, 600 taxing jurisdictions use 300 different income-tax forms and employ different legal definitions for basic concepts such as business income and residency.
Companies that have employees or do business in multiple jurisdictions not only have to keep track of how many hours were worked in what jurisdiction, they may have to file under different terms in each one.
It makes Ohio, in Grossman's words, "by far the most challenging state in the nation on how that's done."
Testimony last year highlighted horror stories, such as a Minster business that had to pay an accountant $55 for each of 41 different income-tax returns it was obligated to file.
This included one with a bottom line of 13 cents.
Many businesses are forced to spend more on tax preparation than they owe in taxes.
That's unreasonable.
The Ohio Society of CPAs is leading a coalition of groups supporting municipal-tax reform, a group that includes 22 organizations representing thousands of business owners.
They know time and resources spent complying with an overly complex tax structure could be better spent expanding business and creating more employment.
A simpler tax structure and healthier economy would benefit everyone — including the municipal tax collector.

Speech of Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger in the King Abdullah Center
Your Royal Highness,
Your Eminencies,
Your Excellencies,
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a great pleasure and honour for me to speak to you on the occasion of the signing of the Agreement for the Establishment of the King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue. I thank His Royal Highness Prince Saud Al Faisaland Her Excellency, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Spain, Ms Trinidad Jiménez García-Herrera for participating in this eminent signing ceremony here in Vienna.
I am also grateful for the presence of His Eminence, the President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran and His Excellency, Archbishop Celata.
At the outset, let me quote former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan who said on the occasion of the proclamation of the Year of Dialogue among Civilisations in 2001 the following. He said: "In our globalised world the peoples of the world are more united by common fate than they are divided by their separate identities." This phrase still rings true, especially on this important day.
We are very thankful for the initiative of His Majesty King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz to establish an International Centre dedicated to the dialogue between religions. Austria as one of the three founding states is particularly pleased that this important permanent platform for international dialogue will be based in Vienna.
The Centre's main objective is to foster dialogue between religions and cultures on all levels. Thus, it complements and reinforces Austria's long standing tradition in interreligious and intercultural dialogue. For many years, Austria has continuously worked to become a hub for international dialogue thereby contributing to stability and peace worldwide.
Today, I would like to share with you my thoughts on two topics – firstly, the growing need for interreligious and intercultural dialogue in our modern pluralistic societies and secondly, the important role the King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue can play in this context.
Let me start by underlining our firm commitment to dialogue on all levels. New realities come upon us with breath-taking speed. Dialogue is the indispensable fabric which holds each society together. We consider it the prerequisite for the peaceful co-existence of different cultures and religions.
We share the responsibility of creating the everyday life of cultural diversity in a realistic way: at school, in housing, in exercising religious beliefs, but also in acquiring a sense of community and responsibility. Lack of mutual understanding must be overcome by dialogue. And there is no alternative to dialogue! From an Austrian point of view, an honest and open dialogue is based upon the respect for diversity and on human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of religion and conscience.
Dialogue also needs structures and continuity. This brings me to my second point – the future role of the King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue. It is our ambition that it will provide a continuous platform to openly discuss the potential of religious communities to foster conflict resolution, peace and reconciliation as well as social cohesion and development. The personalities of different religious communities, civil society and the scientific community will enable the Centre to work in a truly interreligious and interdisciplinary way.
At the same time, all efforts to promote the dialogue between cultures and civilizations must reach out to a wider public. The task we as governments, religious leaders, writers and journalists share is to give people a fair chance to understand and appreciate different cultures and civilizations. Therefore, I am positive that the Centre will also serve as an important meeting place for people of different backgrounds.
In conclusion, let me state once again that I am firmly convinced that there is no alternative to an open and sincere dialogue between cultures and civilizations. Therefore, I wish the King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue all the best for the challenges ahead. Let me assure you that we will do our utmost in supporting the Centre in its endeavours.
Thank you!

However, an injury to Pacal Pape saw Dusautoir take back the armband and, after receiving encouraging news about the flanker's latest injury, Saint-Andre has backed him to lead France once more.
Les Bleus face New Zealand, Tonga and South Africa this autumn and Saint-Andre is certain Dusautoir will be fit and raring to go.
"Thierry Dusautoir will be our captain if he is 100 per cent fit and the latest news about him is reassuring. From what we know, he has made a good recovery from his knee injury," he said.
"He will be at 100 percent for Toulouse in the European Cup and for his return to the French team."

There is phone service at camp, but only emergency calls are accepted for campers. The emergency phone number for Camp Friedlander is (513) 831-8311.
Campers are discouraged from making calls home, as this tends to disrupt the troop schedule. If one of the troop's leaders believes that it is necessary for your son to call home, permission will be granted. An adult leader must accompany a Scout while he uses the phone. Please do not allow your son to bring a cell phone to camp.
Not all merit badge requirements can be met in a camp setting, and Scouts are exepected to have completed pre-requisites prior to arrival at camp if they would like to earn a completed badge. Parents should review the Pre-Requisites List and encourage their Scout to complete these requirements prior to camp.

Red, Yellow, and Pink
Red, Yellow, and Pink
Haven't we seen that their first response to aggression from the goverment will be to remove the red and put on the mulitcolor?
Does everyone think it's a matter of going in and rounding up the 'red shirts', because if it was the case, that is just what the government might just end up netting, a whole swag of smelly old red colored shirts.
It just seems so simple to me - de-color - disperse - re-color, on and on: simple asymmetrical conflict tactics.
To the government, the reds would simply disappear and reappear as they wished.
Here today - gone tommorrow, just like a 'will-o'-wisp'.

Drinking black tea can contribute to good oral health, an expert has noted.
The Tea Advisory Panel's Dr Carrie Ruxton explained antibacterial properties have been observed in flavonoids contained in the drink.
These can kill bacteria in the mouth and therefore help to prevent tooth decay, while enamel can be protected by the fluoride present in tea.
Dr Ruxton was commenting after research commissioned by the Tea Advisory Panel and published in Network Health Dieticians suggested black tea has just as many health benefits as green tea - despite the latter being perceived as a healthier alternative.
Both varieties come from the same plant and contain similar compounds and Dr Ruxton explained the difference lies in how they are processed.
In addition to the positive effects on oral health, the expert observed drinking around four cups of black tea every day can help to reduce the risk of heart disease.

(FT3) New rumor about a Ricoh GXR Micro Four Thirds module.
Image courtesy: Photoscala
Mobile01 went to the GRD 5th Anniversary Party in Tokyo and they interviewed many RICOH employees and photographers. Unofficially they got the information that RICOH will launch the new Micro Four Thirds sensor module for the GXR system during 2011. Their goal is to move Micro Four Thirds fans to the RICOH GXR system.
This is not the first time we hear that RICOH is preparing a Micro Four Thirds module. Ricoh has already shown a "mysterious" Expansion Unit on their road map but without specifying what kind of mount it will use.
Found via Mirrorlessrumors.com
Via Mobile01
Turned out to be a Leica M-mount module….
Don't care if the ultimate M43 camera is a Ricoh, an Olympus or a Panasonic one, or whatever; I just need a M43 camera with a rangefinder! That's will be the ultimate camera!
never thought or heard that GXR is the ugliest, that honor goes to the Sony A900/850.
hold your equines. Zooming into the above picture (is there a better quality one somewhere?) and that shiny rectangle in the mount looks like its 3:2 not 4:3….
Feel free to tell me I am wrong and point out the flaws in my theory; and if its the sensor, why is it shiny? Of couse it could be a made up or simulated image.
Ricoh have made k-mount cameras in the past. Maybe its K and not µ4/3rds. All we know is that someone out there knows for sure.
If I am wrong I take no responsibility and blame the quality street I have just been eating. -
admin: Thanks, looking forward to the rumor.
I thought that Sony was opening up the e-mount spec for anyone to use?
What if they are waiting for that?
@ the naysayers, Ricoh cameras are some of the best. held in extremely high acclaim by photographers and draws a cult following in Japan.
as for the competition, i've handled all the cameras mentioned and they're laughable compared to Ricohs. anyone who's a naysayer obviously has never actually handled the Ricoh or used it for regular shooting. if you did, you'd laugh at the competition and shake your head at their shortcomings and lost opportunities.
also, Ricoh APS-C is about 10x better than all that mft crap. lens sizes aren't that much different, and the UI is 100x better. if price isn't a problem and you want the best camera that is. the ONLY thing any competition has on Ricoh is one of the MFT cameras has over a 920k dot EVF. that's about it.
try actually USING stuff before you trash on it. at least HANDLE it in store or something. speculation like that is like getting dating advice from a guy who's never had a girlfriend.
Hmmm. Just read http://www.43rumors.com/ft4-the-olympus-modular-system-will-be-different-than-the-ricoh-grx-system/ again and I think there may be a chance for Olympus – Ricoh cooperation. Both systems are scheduled for 2011 and if Olympus gives up on "mount should be modular but separated from the sensor module" with some careful wording in the announcement both companies could stay "proud" .
Admin, any new rumors on modular Olympus?
Perhaps a gf1 or ep2 look better for some people, but i bet the GXR with the new 28mm will mop the floor with each of the above with pana 14mm ; not to mention the evf, the 920k-display and the perfect user-interface.
If the expansion-modul will be mft this will be my first mft-cam and it will probably be the best so far ! -
Hm… but we know, the all APC-s formats is proprietary.
m4/3 also proprietary, but Panasonic and olympus let the other companies inside the standard -
The GXR has to be the gosh-awful-ugliest camera in production. It is so aesthetically unpleasing it's hard to believe. I know how a camera works is supposed to be the most important part, but even that is questionable to me. The GXR is the answer to a question nobody asked.
I hope you are talking about the S10 and P10 modules…otherwise to tell that the LX5 matches the 50mm APS-C module is the real joke…
Why not go extreme (they always do) and get an M-mount with a full frame sensor in it? Will be Leica + micro43 killer at the same time.
"All in all the Ricoh's combination of sensor and JPEG engine is doing a very decent job. Its high ISO performance is on par with some of the best APS-C DSLRs (although those usually offer a higher maximum sensitivity) and amongst the very best mirrorless large-sensor cameras." (Ricoh GHR/A12 F2.5/50)
Ricoh is a joke. Check out dpreview sample shots. My LX5 can easliy outperforms it
I'm guessing Sony will be out of the question. I have a feeling they'll charge a ton of money to let Ricoh use their mount.
How do we know it will be APS-C ?
Olympus is too proud for that. They will always do stuff in their own stuborn way.
Nice idea though. Dann it would be fun to mix every manufacturer like building a PC. "I have this Canon body and Sony sensor with 4/3 mount and Leica and Zuiko lenses!"
\o/ Ricoh! Maybe my wait for Ricoh style mirrorless is over.
However, I would prefer M-mount even with 1.5 crop.
I hope Ricoh will add a good mf feedback to the camera. Like a box around the sharp areas on viewfinder?
Not a bad idea, but I'm sceptical about it. Ricoh surely HAD to negotiate with either Oly or Panny (probably both) to be able to use the m4/3 protocol, but having a cross-manufacturer system is probably a bit far-fetched for Olympus.
Actually the question for GXR users is: who likes panasonic sensors? the APS-C inside the 50mm module is much better than m4/3….
Where is the Leica M module (with FF or at least APS-C sensor)?
The GXR system would make a lot of sense with more of these (rumored) mount-only modules.I wish Leica would pursue a similar strategy: high-quality body (like what they offer now) with interchangable sensor/mount/processing module. Who wants to drop $5.000,- on a body that becomes obselete in 2 years? But it seems they are more interested in becoming a luxury brand at the moment…
Maybe they'll cooperate with Olympus on modular cameras?
Is this module the heart of 4/3 modular system?
Oly could make 4/3 PDAF and m4/3 CDAF modules with GXR electrical contacts. Why not? -
It's small and squarish, so it looks like 4/3. Find a picture of m4/3 mount, scale it, and you'll see. But they can draw whatever they want…
Unless they come up with on sensor PDAF, they can make modules for mirrorless mounts only. So, we can expect either m4/3, Samsung NX or Sony E module. All other mounts would be without autofocus and would require thicker modules.
Has anyone bothered to measure/estimate the diameter of the lens mount and the diagonal of the sensor which is visible inside the mount ?? We know the dimensions of the module itself, so it should be easy enough. If, of course, the shown mount and sensor corresponds to the ones that they are planning to produce. But this *is* a rumour site, no ??
Ricoh's business model is the summum of wild consumerism: come on, buying a sensor AND a lens together? Jeeeeze…
It would be great to have a third manufacturer. In the roadmap, the sensor in the module looks like 4/3, so it is likely. On the other hand, Ricoh has put APS-C ( probably Sony ) sensors in some other GXR modules, so it is weird for them to make a deal with another sensor supplier and double R&D. Or do they intend to make modules for some other mounts as well? That would be even better.
My initial reaction was "what would be the point?", but if it has a different sensor from the Panny 12MP, then this just might be interesting.
Note that the "expansion unit" drawn in the roadmap does not have a lens, but a mount instead. It means you can mount any m4/3 lens on it, which makes it a lot more flexible. Actually, it's the first interchangeable sensor system in the world. I wonder whether the mount will have contacts to support AF and aperture control.
It would be much more interesting if they could come up with a Nikon F or Canon EF mount module. They would have no competitors on that market segment…
Honestly. Who likes that Frankencamera?!

As it has been said, money is most important, then people, which is a great plan....at least until you run out of people with money to give you
Reply Just to point out something here. Zero point energy is allready a viable source of energy. The second this technology was announced publicly USA-goverment made it illegal to use such energy inside USA. Why ? Because they cannot own it, as said techlogy was invented by an iranian. If you want to know more, just look up with google, Keshe Foundation, or click here http://www.keshefoundation.org/. The funny thing is, the iranian who invented said technology is ready to give it up for free so that we all may freely benefit for it. Hes not trying to make more money than god, as some pointed out. Or as some would do in his place ! We have allready invented the technology that makes interstellar travel a reality, we have the technology to discard petrol all togther, to have free energy for the rest of our lives, but why havent you people heard of it allready ? Let me answer to that ! Because such knowledge is being systematically supressed, as is the case with urine therapy as well. Another info is also that if you do the right things you can live in your biological body that you have now forever. So please spare me the '' super computer X was used to find a treatment for the super diseases Y" discussion. The good part of it all, is that such knowledge is starting to emerge, and more and more people will learn what the truth really is.
A pandemic with that R° would consume a 7-billion population over hundreds of years, and that's keeping the population constant. AIDS is consuming our population slower than our population growth. So you can't see it as a population control measure. It's a popularized pandemic, but one that doesn't necessarily control population. It failed to retard population growth. You can't "fuck around," but you can produce any practical number of children with other healthy people. If I really wanted to control population, I'd create something more devastating, and surreptitiously distribute its cure to people that I want to save.
you cannot see everything in black and white, AIDS can be seen as a population DETERRENT, is not the ONLY method of population control we have, the introduction of AIDS promotes the practice of safe sex (condoms and abstinence) which is also a method of birth control. and it will be passed on to your offsprings, THEORETICALLY the way you can see this as: if AIDS remain incurable, as T approaches infinity, mortality rate also approaches 100%
Find a cure for AIDS and send it the way smallpox went. Do you have a problem with that, or are you in favour of population control through AIDS?
The diseases you end up dying from after HIV progresses to AIDS are not painless at all. That is one of the most ignorant statements I have seen- and after reading this thread, that's quite the accomplishment. As much as I dislike Bitcoin, it is a form of distributed computing.
Ok. I was wrong. You need 3 or 4 "SuperComputers" CNN is a joke, i'm to lazy to check any other sources so i'll take it as is. Distributed computing makes no sense to me. Maybe if i was using a combination of renewable energy sources such as wind/solar i would be in to it, but as it is now it seems like just a waste of resources. I don't even pay for my electric as i'm currently in an apartment... If i could, i'd have a couple small turbines hangin' off my balcony but we aren't allowed to affix anythin other than a Satelite At least we can have a BBQ!
The Top500 Supercomputers combined don't match the combined power of the BTC mining network. Your math needs work.
The supercomputer which did these calculations: "Powered by 3,000 NVIDIA Tesla K20X GPU accelerators" Okay, how many [tens of] millions Nvidia GPUs have shipped since the 8000 series? (The first series capable of GPGPU). Now, add all the [tens of] millions of AMD GPU capable of GPGPU. Then add all the CPUs. Unless You have a Titan supercomputer army numbering in ten thousand strong, You won't even dent the computing power of ALL available "consumer computers".
That was my point in reply 1. And that no scientists are named , shame on you nvidia PR dpt you enabled this no more then charles Babbage. And where did all the looneys come from , ive seen all the same conspiracy docs they have yet reasoning hasn't left me, and that iranian idiot who's solved zero point energy also sorted flying discs (anti gravity style) and is willing to share all he knows with all nations, my ford pumas still got wheels and planes are awfully popular still and it's a year in now. I AM A CONSPIRACY NUT fair enough but im not an idiot , theres a conspiracy for every occasion.
seen that too dude and whilst it is all relatively interesting its as balls as snooker.. Im a mere engineer and I can see all kinds of bull in this guys science, ,,, I like the mega sized links to his 40 euro books too , funny guy but he's probably already rich from book sales off idiots who should have stayed in education longer.
Ok. And how do you factor in the resources required to power all these into the grand scheme of things? To me it just seems like a poor return on a persons "investment". Just my $0.02
Power usage is a completely different topic. It doesn't change the fact that the computation power of all those devices dwarfs that of hundreds of supercomputers. Which was the idea we discussed. NOT the power usage. (If You really need to know - in distributed computing the volunteers power their own machines. Simple.)
My point is; Is it really an efficient use of resources? What have we cured with all of this distributed computing? Does power in = results out? What are the effects of consuming all of these extra resources for a POTENTIAL result? Seems to me like the only winners are the utility companies. Thank you captain obvious! I really thought someone else would pay someone elses power bill You, or anyone for that matter, are free to do as they please. For myself, i just don't see the point. As we continue to live in a world with diminishing resources, consuming the resources we have for an unknown result is, IMHO, non sensical
I like that everyone has his own most important cause , for you its clearly the green scene whereas folders love topgear and care more about the possibility of cureing illness and folding for example will continue until protein behaviour is fully understood but benefits almost all branches of medicine as all diseases can , are or do affect proteins or our use of them.
I ... I have found my soulmate. I want you inside me. He's into anarchy and pot, don't take him seriously.
still, completely irrelevant when comparing only the computational power the two sides provides and NOTHING ELSE. Example: if You'd say You Bugatti Veyron outperforms a random VW Golf from the street, I will have no objections. If I started rambling how much B.V. costs and how much gas it eats, that would have absolutely no impact on the fact it runs much faster and Your original statement would still hold. Okay, if You really need to know - a large portion of the people who participate in distributed computing are very conscious about efficiency. After all - it's them who have to pay for all that. I do see that people who participate more seriously tend to keep the efficiency up. I myself, for example, could add 5 more boxen to crunch on WCG. But 2 of those boxen are fairly outdated (~6 y.o.) while the remaining three are nearly 10 years old. The power bill is already hard to manage, thus those five additional would be a nightmare in that regard, while producing very limited gains. I can bring them to my university and leech the power off them for free. But I only plan on doing that with one of the boxen (the newest one) as I see the the gains of the other boxen's computations to be outweighed by the negative impact of power usage. Also, that CNN's thing on bitcoin miners - that is probably true. Using an array of 7970s is a norm there. There are many distributed computing networks. Many I haven't come across yet. But summing up all those I know && had statistics checked of, it was obvious the computational power is extreme and way out of supercomputer league.
Unless we find another method of understanding and modelling how protein folds, there is nothing to compare it to.

One Minute Michigan Story: One Dollar Here
Written by Katie Caralis
It's been more than 13 years, but I can still hear the voice of the man who spent my childhood selling peanuts outside Tiger Stadium. "Threee dollas innsiiide, ooone dolla heeere!" My dad always bought the one-dollar peanuts knowing half the shells would be empty, just like the half-empty seats, the Tigers being a losing team for most of the '90s, and the half-empty city, Detroit on the decline. Beaming, Dad would take my excited hand and lead me across the long bridge, over the broken glass and potholes, passed the burned-out buildings, up the winding blue ramp and inside the park we knew was magic, inside the city we knew was beautiful.
Katie Caralis is one of the winners of Michigan Radio's One Minute Michigan Story Writing Contest. Allison Downey read the story.

BATHING DOLPHINS: Dolphins are swimming in soapy seas, and it may be disrupting their development.
Image: FLICKR/POCHACCO20
Dolphins are swimming in waters tainted with germ-killing soaps, but they aren't winding up squeaky clean.
Triclosan, an antibacterial chemical found in everyday bathroom and kitchen products, is accumulating in dolphins at concentrations known to disrupt the growth and development of other animals. Scientists have found that one-third of the bottlenose dolphins tested off South Carolina and almost one-quarter of those tested off Florida carried traces of triclosan in their blood. It is the first time the chemical has been reported in a wild marine mammal – a worrisome finding, researchers say, because it shows it is building up in the ocean's food web.
Triclosan is the germ-killing chemical of choice in hundreds of products, including liquid hand soaps, toothpaste, deodorants and cutting boards. Now some scientists are calling for its removal from consumer products.
"The fact that this chemical is found in the environment and is being detected in a top level predator certainly warrants concern," said Patricia Fair, a research physiologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and lead author of the dolphin study, which was published online in the journal Environmental Pollution in May.
Scientists cannot say what effect triclosan might have on dolphins, but lab studies conducted on other animals suggest that it could be jeopardizing their health. Studies in bullfrogs found that triclosan disrupts the endocrine system — blocking the tadpoles' development into frogs at concentrations found in the environment. Another study found triclosan alters thyroid hormones in rats, which is another sign of endocrine system disruption.
Many scientists weren't surprised to see triclosan turn up in dolphins, due to the chemical's widespread use. In the United States, 76 percent of liquid soaps and 26 percent of bar soaps contain triclosan, according to a 2001 study in the American Journal of Infection Control. In Europe, approximately 350 tons are used in commercial products.
"With the sheer amount being used, it's actually starting to accumulate [in more top predators]," said Caren Helbing, a molecular biologist at the University of Victoria, in British Columbia, Canada, who was not involved with the dolphin study.
After spitting your toothpaste down the sink or washing your liquid soap down the drain, it ends up in a sewage treatment plant, where 90 to 98 percent of the chemical is broken down, before the wastewater is discharged into freshwater or directly into oceans along the coasts. Triclosan was one of the most frequently detected chemicals in a survey of streams in 30 states conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Triclosan builds up in fatty tissues, so it passes up the food chain from animal to animal, including humans.
Three-quarters of people tested in the United States have triclosan in their urine, according to a 2008 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It also has been found in breast milk of Swedish women. The concentrations reported in humans are similar to those found in dolphins.
Both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration regulate triclosan in consumer products.
Last October, after reviewing the existing science, the EPA decided to approve the chemical for continued use. The EPA said triclosan "may bioaccumulate, potentially posing a concern for aquatic organisms." But it concluded that the levels coming from households are too low to be toxic to fish or other aquatic creatures.
Nevertheless, the agency added new requirements. Triclosan manufacturers must submit toxicology reports and an environmental monitoring plan. Also, the EPA decided that it will review the chemical again in four years because of "the rapidly developing scientific database for triclosan," according to an agency document.
"Currently, the Agency intends to begin that process in 2013, ten years earlier than originally planned," the document says.
In the meantime, Swiss-based chemical company Ciba, the major manufacturer of triclosan, announced in March that within a year it will stop using it for clothing, textiles, plastic and other uses registered with the EPA. The company says its decision was based on market decisions, not concerns over its safety.

Gout Increasing in Women, Soda Partly to Blame
Most people assume gout is a medieval ailment of men in tights drinking grog, but it turns out the painful condition, characterized by attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis (usually in the metatarsal-phalangeal joint at the base of the big toe) is a growing problem in the 21st Century. This past week, researchers at the American College of Rheumatology annual meeting (a barnburner if there ever was one) report gout now afflicts some 31% of U.S. adults 65 and older--that's an estimated 8.4 million people limping about like Henry the VIII. Most curiously, the incidence of gout is increasing in women.
Food and alcohol have long been known as a major triggers. Gout (technical name, hyperuricemia) develops when the blood becomes saturated with uric acid, a breakdown product of purines, which are a constituent of many foods including red and organ meats. When uric acid spreads through the bloodstream into the joints, it crystallizes and intense pain develops, which tends to be worse in the extremities where body temperature is lower. The condition is more than just a painful nuisance, it's also associated with heart disease and kidney stones.
A couple of years ago, pre-eminent gout researcher Hyon Choi of Boston University School of Medicine established high-fructose corn syrup as a new gout trigger. Fructose independently triggers the body's production of uric acid from adenosine triphosphate, a molecule that stores and transports energy.
Now, Choi and the eminent Walter Willett of Harvard have identified (and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association) a more precise explanation as to why women are getting gout more often. Based on data collected from roughly 79,000 postmenopausal participants of the long-running Nurse's Health Study, the team shows that downing one sugar-sweetened soft drink per day increased a woman's risk of gout compared to women drinking less than one serving a month. Upping the consumption of sugary soft drinks to two or more servings a day appeared to have an even bigger effect.
Women are mostly protected from gout until menopause (that's another thing to add to the list) because female sex hormones help keep uric acid levels low. But after menopause, women's risk of the disease rises to about half of the rate in older U.S. men, Choi reports.
In the U.S. the FDA has just approved a patent for a gout treatment, colchicine, that's been around since the Germans invented it in 1826, a move that has driven the price up from pennies to over $3 a pill. (Canada anyone?)
Of course, the age-old approach of foregoing alcohol, red meat and now soda still works.

Italy faces a period of uncertainty and political horse trading Tuesday after parliamentary elections left no party in a clear position to form a government.
The center-left coalition headed by Pier Luigi Bersani won by a narrow margin in Italy's lower house of parliament, according to final figures released by the Interior Ministry.
But Bersani's coalition, with 29.54% of the vote, finished less than half a percentage point ahead of the anti-austerity center-right coalition headed by controversial three-time Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, which garnered 29.18%.
It was a similar story in Italy's upper house, where the lack of a clear majority means that no one has a firm enough mandate to govern the country.
Final results showed the center-left winning the Senate with 31.63% of the vote, compared with the center-right's 30.72% -- an outcome that points to stalemate because of the way Senate seats are distributed.
"This is a case of gridlock," said James Walston of the American University of Rome. "Nothing could be worse for Europe."
International concern is high that Italy -- the third-largest economy in the eurozone and the eighth-biggest in the world -- could face fresh elections if no coalition government can be formed.
In any case, a weak government would probably struggle to push through the tough reforms many observers feel are needed to get the economy back on track.
Symbolizing Italians' own unhappiness with austerity and their political leaders, a quarter of the vote in the lower house went to the anti-establishment Five Star protest movement led by comedian Beppe Grillo, who has said he won't join forces with any established political parties.
A bloc led by Mario Monti, the former head of a technocrat government that steered Italy through the worst of the eurozone crisis last year, trailed badly in fourth place.
Markets reacted negatively to the uncertainty Tuesday, with fears about the eurozone crisis coming once more to the fore after months during which confidence had grown.
Even if Bersani can form a workable coalition, governing will be very difficult, and investors are concerned that a stalemate in the Senate could undermine the progress Italy has made in overhauling its troubled economy.
European markets, including Milan, were sharply lower in morning trading, while Asian markets also retreated.
U.S. stocks fell Monday amid the concerns about Italy, with the Dow and S&P 500 suffering their biggest one-day declines of the year. U.S. stock futures were indicating a rebound for stocks at the open on Tuesday.
Voter turnout was lower than anticipated Sunday, the first day of balloting, down from 62.55% in 2008 to 55.17% this year, Italy's ANSA news agency reported.
Weather, in part, appeared to cause the lower voter turnout, the news agency said. It was snowing in portions of northern Italy and raining in the southern part of the country.
Italy's political system encourages the forming of alliances.
But if neither Bersani nor Berlusconi can build a strong enough coalition to govern, Italy could face another round of elections.
The center-left alliance dominated by Bersani's Democratic Party also includes the more left-wing Left Ecology Freedom party.

For my first show this January, I plan to play Schöenberg's Verklärte Nacht, in the original Sextet form. (I detest attempts to play it with a string orchestra. I know Schöenberg did the arrangement himself, but it is far less colorful and emotional in that form.)
This work precedes Schöenberg's twelve tone period, but for me, it explains exactly why he made such a remarkable change to his compositional style. Schubert started it, with an ease of harmonic transposition that unsettled many of his contemporaries. You never know how or when Schubert will sneak into some other key, but we are used to him, and we usually love his digressions.
Schöenberg's mastery of harmony is awesome, and he shows in this piece that one can compose every imaginable harmonic sequence at almost any time; there is no restriction, no further constraint in harmony.
Now there used to be a lot of constraint in harmony, and the ways that composers battled those constraints, from Bach to Rachmaninoff, fill us with pleasure. Romantic music is comprised of melodic elements, harmonies,and emotion. And Schöenberg demonstrates here that one of these three props of classical music is gone. There are still constraints regarding what one can accept as melody; there are emotional extremes that are difficult to invoke; but here, in the early 20th century, harmony can be anything.
Many of Schöenberg's contemporaries adjusted to this new world by digging ever deeper into displays of emotion. Mahler is one of those composers, and Schöenberg did not always admire him for it. Schöenberg chose a different approach, to adopt the constraints of his own invented twelve-tone-ism. He opened a new school of composition that flowered for more than fifty years, an approach that, today, we tend to regard with distrust.
Schöenberg did not think that anything more of value could be extracted from traditional, or even untraditional harmony. Those of you who follow Marvin Rosen's Classical Discoveries know that Schöenberg was not exactly right. Classical harmony flourished alongside all the 20th century experiments, and once again, reigns today, in hundreds of inventive forms.
As you listen to Verklärte Nacht, please try to be sympathetic to Schöenberg's plight. This extraordinary piece of music displays the hand of a compositional master, searching desperately for new mountains to conquer.
The piece is based on a poem by Richard Dehmel. Wikipedia has the poem, and a translation, here.

Around 1,500 Muslims protested on May 4th, in the Macedonian capital, Skopje, demanding the release of the radical Islamists who were arrested by the Macedonian police on May 2 for the cold-blooded execution of four Macedonian teenagers and one middle-aged man while they were fishing in the Skopje area on Good Thursday this year. The arrests were made following an intensive 3 week investigation.
Macedonians are predominantly Christian, while the ethnic Albanian minority that accounts for around 20% of the population in Macedonia is predominantly Muslim. In the last decade there has been an increase in incidences of religious extremism, imported by radical Islamists from the Middle East, but this has not found a fertile ground among the Macedonian Albanians. Islamist terrorists cells have been reported all over south-eastern Europe, including Macedonia.
The Macedonian police assured that the protest and march through the streets didn't take a chaotic turn. The radical Islamist protesters chanted "Allahu Akbar", "Death to Christians", "War on the Christians", and brandished Al Qaeda insignias.
The Macedonian police have arrested three of five suspects directly implicated with the horrific crime, the likes of which Macedonia has not seen since WWII. All the neighbouring countries have offered their support to the Macedonian Interior Ministry for the capture of the two remaining suspects, who are on the run and for whom Interpol warrants have already been issued.
The faggotry is strong with this one...

Reviews by gritz147:More User Reviews:LXIXMENew Mexico 3.48/5 rDev -3.1% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5 Medium sized light tan head sits above a clear dark brown colored ale. A faint sweet lightly roasted nut aroma coming off this beer. Light chocolate malts with a creamy smooth taste. A very light dryish aftertaste without much tastes lingering behind with this medium bodied brown. This beer seems like the halfway point between Bud and Guinness, not sure if that's a compliment or not.

Reviewed live. Expectations are below average given the brewery. No ABV is listed on the bottle. Best before: 10/16/13. Served cold, straight from me fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated. A: No bubble show forms as I pour. Pours a one finger wide head of khaki colour. Nice thickness. Decent creaminess. Okay frothiness. Little lacing as the head recedes. Head retention is below average - maybe 1.5 minutes at best. Body colour is a very dark amber which flirts with brown but never quite gets there. Semitransparent. Translucent. No yeast particles are visible. Overall, it looks more like an amber than a brown. Sm: Pleasant pecan/caramelized pecan. Brown malts. Dark malts. Amber malts. Chocolate malt. Caramel. I like the combination of the pleasant nutty character with malty sweetness. No yeast character, hop character, or alcohol is detectable. A fairly pleasant aroma of mild strength. There's something a bit artificial about it, though. T: Subdued pecan nut notes ride atop a sweet brown-and-amber malt foundation, with hints of cream, chocolate malt, and other dark malts. No roast. The nuttiness is just a bit artificial, lightly redolent of a syrup or extract. Caramel and vanilla surface, but aren't particularly evocative or interesting. It has some interesting elements, but it's not particularly well balanced; certainly not gestalt. I like the pecan; that's the highlight of the beer for me. Lacks complexity and subtlety. Average depth, duration, and intensity of flavour. No yeast character, hop character, or alcohol comes through. Mf: Smooth and wet. Lightly syrupy. Too thick. Overly full-bodied for a beer with such limited flavour depth and diversity. Mouthfeel complements the flavour profile in a general sense. Overcarbonated. Not oily, harsh, biting, gushed, hot, or boozy. Dr: Downable but mediocre. I'm quickly beginning to view Real Ale as the Gordon Biersch of Texas; everything I've had from them is so unmemorable. Why brew this? Hides its average ABV okay. Very pedestrian for a brown ale; I definitely wouldn't get this again, nor would I recommend it to friends. Far from unique or special. That said, I do enjoy what little pecan there is, even if they did resort to a flavour extract to accomplish that character. C- Serving type: bottle 09-14-2013 00:45:42 | More by kojevergas |
