When Eichengrün and colleagues at dye manufacturer Friedrich Bayer & Co synthesised acetylsalicylic acid in 1897 the success story of aspirin began,1 and its potential applications are still being revealed. It is well established that aspirin reduces pain, limits the inflammatory response, and reduces cardiovascular disease but that it can lead to major bleeding events and gastrointestinal upset. For several years increasing numbers of studies have suggested a benefit of aspirin on the occurrence of polyps and colorectal cancer.2 3 Potential beneficial effects on other common cancer types have also been reported.4 Two recently published large scale studies have provided additional evidence that low dose aspirin reduces the incidence of cancer, death from cancer, and cancer metastasis.5 6
The first, an analysis of the short term effects of daily aspirin (<300 mg) use on various cancer related outcomes in 51 randomised controlled trials,5 found that allocation to aspirin reduced deaths from cancer (odds ratio 0.85, 95% confidence interval 0.76 to 0.96), particularly from five years of daily use onwards, resulting in fewer deaths from non-vascular disease. In addition, aspirin significantly reduced the risk of incident cancer in women and men by about 25%. Furthermore, the effect of low dose aspirin on incident cancer increased with longer follow-up, whereas its effects on major cardiovascular disease and extracranial bleeds decreased.
The second study summarised the effects of aspirin on cancer metastasis in five large scale randomised trials.6 In this study, allocation to aspirin reduced the risk of cancer with distant metastasis. The hazard ratio was 0.64 (0.48 to 0.84) for all cancers, 0.54 (0.38 to 0.77) for adenocarcinoma, and 0.82 (0.53 to 1.28) for other solid cancers. The study's findings suggest that low dose aspirin should be considered in the treatment of some patients with cancer.
The findings of the two recent studies are compelling and strongly suggest that, at least for specific subgroups, daily low dose aspirin could reduce cancer related outcomes. However, can we now argue that everyone should take a daily aspirin? Should we conclude that because daily aspirin has confirmed benefits on cardiovascular disease and now seems to be effective in preventing cancer, two of the major contributors to mortality and morbidity in the general population, we should be more proactive in getting people to take daily aspirin?
Despite clear results from the two recent analyses, the topic is still complex and many uncertainties remain.7 The two studies include evidence from randomised controlled trials. Although well conducted randomised trials are considered to provide strong clinical evidence, trial participants are a highly selected group, recruited according to clear inclusion and exclusion criteria, and evidence from trials cannot always be extrapolated and applied to the general population. Although these recent results are supported by some observational studies,3 7 the scientific question of whether we should recommend low dose aspirin for everyone could be answered only by using a distinct causal modelling approach. Such an approach is complex and has rarely been used to analyse observational data.8 If low dose aspirin has a causal effect in cancer prevention, then this effect must be present across different study designs. However, large scale primary prevention trials in men and women have failed to show an effect of low dose aspirin on colorectal cancer, total cancer, or cancer mortality.9 10
There is little doubt that low dose aspirin has beneficial effects on cardiovascular events. But even in this area, which has a large body of evidence,11 it is unclear which patients should be given aspirin because the benefits are not constant across groups with different risk factor profiles.12 For cancer prevention, where far less published evidence is available, the uncertainty is even greater. For example, what should a doctor recommend to a patient with Barrett's oesophagus, who is considered to be at higher risk of developing cancer, but who may not tolerate the gastric side effects of aspirin. What about patients with asthma? How should a doctor advise the patient with a family history of cancer but a propensity to bleed in whom there is a small chance that aspirin may induce a major bleeding event? Results of one of the recent studies suggest that an increased risk of bleeding is only apparent in the short term,5 but should we take the risk of prescribing aspirin in the hope that the patient gets through that short time window of increased bleeding risk without an adverse event?
Too many questions remain unanswered to warrant a recommendation to treat all adults with low dose aspirin to prevent cancer. However, the increasing evidence that aspirin may interfere with the pathogenesis of at least some cancers is compelling and should motivate further targeted research at the population level. Efforts to study the effect of low dose aspirin on cancer occurrence should include the application of appropriate causal modelling to observational data, in addition to the identification of subgroups of patients who would benefit most and those in whom adverse effects of aspirin are most likely to occur. Research should focus on plausible interactions of specific biological mechanisms, including biomarkers and genetic information. Until then, doctors should continue to make decisions on long term treatment with low dose aspirin in individual patients by carefully balancing risks and benefits.

Verizon Expanding Chattanooga-area 4G Network
Verizon Wireless announced Monday it will soon expand the nation's largest 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network to more places in the Chattanooga area. The company initially launched 4G LTE in Chattanooga in July 2011 with coverage extending to surrounding areas like Fort Oglethorpe, Hixson and Ooltewah. The data network, which they say delivers speeds 10 times faster than 3G, provides customers with the best experience available in wireless data usage for surfing the Web, streaming music and video, downloading files or using apps.
"Soon more Verizon Wireless customers in the Scenic City will have access to our 4G LTE network," said Jerry Fountain, president of Verizon Wireless' Carolinas/Tennessee region. "Currently, more than 85 percent of Tennessee's population is able to experience the speed and benefits 4G LTE affords."
Verizon's 4G LTE network provides customers with tremendous speed for smartphones, tablets and hotspots, with data rates averaging 5-12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2-5 Mbps on the uplink in real-world, loaded network environments. Verizon Wireless customers can also take advantage of HomeFusion℠ Broadband, a solution that leverages the power and speed of the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network to deliver high-speed, in-home Internet access for residential broadband, particularly where Internet options are limited or are not currently available.
The company's 4G LTE service is available to more than 230 million people across the United States – nearly 75 percent of the U.S. population. By year's end, the company plans to cover more than 400 U.S. markets. For more information on the network, as well as Verizon's 4G LTE device line-up, visit www.verizonwireless.com/lte.

Last Update on November 26, 2014 19:13 GMT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits jumped last week, pushing total applications above 300,000 for the first time in nearly three months.
The Labor Department says weekly applications rose 21,000 to a seasonally adjusted 313,000, the highest level since the first week of September. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, rose 6,250 to 294,000.
The increase is unlikely to raise concerns about the broader health of the job market. At least some of the rise occurred because of seasonal layoffs in businesses affected by the cold weather, such as construction. The department seeks to control for such seasonal factors but doesn't always do so perfectly.
Applications had been under 300,000 for 10 straight weeks, an unusually low level that indicates companies are laying off few workers.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. consumers picked up spending by a modest amount in October, a slight improvement after no gain at all in the previous month.
The Commerce Department says consumer spending rose 0.2 percent last month, while September was revised from a decline to a flat reading. Income grew 0.2 percent in October, matching the modest September gain.
Spending is closely watched because it accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. Solid job gains this year are helping to lift spending, which is giving a bolstering the overall economy.
Economic growth came in at a solid 3.9 percent in the July-September quarter. Economists are looking for growth of around 2.5 percent in the current quarter, and they believe 2015 will see further spending gains and growth of around 3 percent.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Orders to U.S. factories for long-lasting manufactured goods rose in October, but a key category that tracks business investment plans declined sharply for a second straight month.
The Commerce Department says orders for durable goods increased 0.4 percent last month following a 0.9 percent drop in September and an even bigger 18.3 percent plunge in August. The two months of declines reflected big swings in the volatile category of commercial aircraft.
The small October gain was unimpressive, with declines in a number of categories including machinery, computers and primary metals such as steel.
A key category viewed as a proxy for business investment spending fell 1.3 percent in October after a similar 1.3 percent September drop. It was the biggest setback since a 1.4 percent May decline.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sales of new U.S. homes edged up modestly in October, led by a big jump in activity in the Midwest.
The Commerce Department says new home sales advanced 0.7 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 458,000. That followed a smaller 0.4 percent gain in September and put sales at the highest point since May.
The strength last month came from a big 15.8 percent increase in sales in the Midwest and a smaller 7.1 percent rise in the Northeast. Those increases offset a 1.9 percent fall in sales in the South, which accounts for half of the new-home market, and a 2.7 percent drop in the West.
Housing has struggled to recover since the recession ended in June 2009.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The number of Americans signing contracts to buy homes fell slightly in October as tight credit and lagging wages remained financial hurdles for would-be homebuyers.
The National Association of Realtors says its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index fell 1.1 percent the past month to 104.1. The index remains below its 2013 average but is 2.2 percent higher than last October.
Pending sales are a barometer of future purchases. A one- to two-month lag usually exists between a contract and a completed sale.
Housing has struggled to fully rebound since the recession ended more than five years ago. Many potential buyers lack the savings and strong credit history needed to afford a home, causing them to rent or remain in their existing houses instead of upgrading.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Average U.S. long-term mortgage rates ticked down for the third straight week, a positive trend for potential homebuyers.
Mortgage company Freddie Mac says the nationwide average for a 30-year mortgage declined to 3.97 percent this week from 3.99 percent last week. Rates are now about a half-point lower than at the beginning of the year.
Long-term mortgage rates fell as low as 3.31 percent toward the end of 2012, partly because of the Federal Reserve's bond-purchase program, which was intended to keep rates low. That program has since ended.
Rates have fallen in recent weeks amid economic slowdowns in Europe and China and the start of a recession in Japan.
The average for a 15-year mortgage, a popular choice for people who are refinancing, was unchanged at 3.17 percent.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Greater optimism about income growth and future spending pushed U.S. consumer sentiment to a fresh 7-year high in November.
The University of Michigan says its index of consumer sentiment rose to 88.8 in November from 86.9 in October. That's the highest since July 2007, five months before the Great Recession began.
The report adds to a mixed picture of U.S. consumers heading into the holiday shopping season. A separate measure of consumer confidence, released Tuesday, fell sharply after reaching its own 7-year high last month. And Americans are spending at a sluggish pace despite a pickup in job creation this year.
Still, the Michigan survey found consumers said they were more likely to spend on big-ticket items such as appliances and autos than at any time since the recession began.
DETROIT (AP) -- U.S. safety regulators are threatening fines and legal action against Takata Corp. for failing to admit that its driver's-side air bag inflators are defective and should be recalled nationwide.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sent a letter to the company Wednesday detailing the threats, which include a public hearing and possible court action.
Takata of Japan has refused demands for the national recall, saying that a recall limited to high-humidity states is sufficient. But the agency says two inflators have ruptured in cars outside the high-humidity zone, injuring drivers by spewing metal fragments.
Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx says Takata must act quickly or the agency will use all of its authority and resources to get the national recall done.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration is announcing steps to cut levels of smog-forming pollution linked to asthma, lung damage and other health problems.
The Environmental Protection Agency is calling for a new, lower threshold for ozone pollution of 65 to 70 parts per billion. That's down from the current standard of 75 parts per billion, put in place by President George W. Bush in 2008.
But the EPA is leaving open the possibility it could enact an even lower standard of 60 parts per billion sought by environmental groups.
The EPA estimates that meeting the stricter rules will cost industry about $3.9 billion in 2025 if the government goes with a standard of 70 parts per billion. At a level of 65 parts per billion, the EPA said, the cost grows to $15 billion.
Industry groups say the cost would actually be far higher and that it would be nearly impossible for refineries and other businesses to comply. But EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy says lower ozone standards would actually spur more businesses, investment and jobs by making communities healthier.
The EPA was under a court-ordered Dec. 1 deadline to issue a new smog standard.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A White House veto threat appears to have put on ice a congressional effort to permanently renew a handful of generous tax breaks for businesses and individuals. Officials say that the plan, brewing behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, favored corporations over the working class.
The unusual veto threat came before the parameters of a potential agreement were even revealed.
Speculation on Capitol Hill on Tuesday focused on a potential agreement to permanently enact tax breaks on business investments in new equipment and research and development, part of a plan that would renew dozens of expired tax breaks for businesses and individuals.
The White House immediately threatened a veto, saying Congress should also make permanent more generous tax credits for the working poor and people with children.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Many immigrants in the United States illegally who apply for work permits under President Barack Obama's new executive actions would be eligible for Social Security and Medicare benefits upon reaching retirement age, according to the White House.
Under Obama's actions, immigrants who are spared deportation would be eligible to obtain work permits and a Social Security number. As a result, they would pay into the Social Security system through payroll taxes.
Not all such immigrants would be entitled to the benefits, however, because like all Social Security and Medicare recipients they would have to work 10 years to become eligible for retirement payments and health care.

David Andrew Norton, 43, of Longview is under arrest after he allegedly damaged a door at the House of Prayer Church on 11th Avenue. Longview Police were called to the church at about 8:35 pm, when it was reported that Norton was pounding on the front door, demanding to be let in. Witnesses reported that Norton smashed the glass in the door, and then eventually ripped it right off of the hinges. Officers were on the scene in a few minutes, and arrested Norton without further incident. Norton is now being held without bail on a charge of second-degree malicious mischief.

JHB Casino Challenge
Third District Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler is taking issue with an agency decision to take land near La Center into trust for the Cowlitz Indians, while court proceedings in the case are still under way. Beutler announced yesterday that she is sending a letter to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, asking for clarification and justification on several issues, also wondering why such a decision would be announced prior to the court decision. Beutler says that local citizens and stakeholders have "gone through the proper channels," and she says that they deserve to have that process play out before government agencies act. Last month, an assistant attorney general announced that just less than 152 acres of land would be taken into trust for the Cowlitz, a proposal that has been challenged by several local governments and other citizens in Clark County.
Teen Tuesday
The final Teen Tuesday event of the fall is planned for this evening at the Longview Public Library, piggybacking on this weekend's release of "Mockingjay-Part 1," the opening part of the finale in the "Hunger Games" series of movies. This evening will feature a "Mockingjay Scavenger Hunt," and winners of the hunt will receive a pair of tickets to go and see the movie. The Teen Tuesday event runs from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, and is open to all area middle and high school students. It's free to take part, and no library card is needed.
Chinook and Cayuse Close
Another hint that winter is on the way is the annual closure of Chinook and Cayuse Passes. The Washington Department of Transportation announced the complete closures yesterday, after temporary closures over the weekend. WashDOT says that the avalanche risk is too great to allow traffic over State Route 410-Chinook Pass and on State Route 123-Cayuse Pass. Approximately three feet of snow fell on these passes over the weekend, and additional precipitation in the forecast could bring additional safety issues. White Pass, Snoqualmie Pass and Stevens Pass are still available as routes from western Washington to eastern Washington, along with the Columbia River Gorge.
Bridge Confusion
There's been some confusion about an upcoming bridge closure, with local chatter on social media identifying a local bridge for the work, when the closure will actually be out to the west of us. There's been some talk on Facebook, wondering about a multi-month closure of the Lewis and Clark Bridge, starting on December 1st. There is a multi-month project starting on December 1st, but that work involves the Lewis and Clark RIVER Bridge on Highway 101 in Astoria. Bridge rehabilitation work is actually being on two bridges between Astoria and Warrenton, the bridge over the Lewis and Clark River and the Old Youngs Bay Bridge. Flaggers and detours will be posted around the construction area, and delays of up to 20 minutes at a time are possible. There is NO construction or closures of any sort planned for the Lewis and Clark Bridge between Longview and Rainier.
Weather News
The National Weather Service says that we need to be on the alert for some possible flooding this week. Early this morning, the NWS published an outlook report, saying that a wet weather system will linger over the area this week, dumping three to six inches of rain on the west slopes of the Cascades by Wednesday. Snow levels are expected to hover between 6,500 and 7,500 feet, so most of the precipitation will fall as rain. They say that flooding is possible on a number of rivers, including the Cowlitz. If flooding occurs, it's expected to begin tomorrow night and would continue through Wednesday. They do say that any flooding is expected to be minor.
Many of us were surprised to hear thunder rolling through the area yesterday morning, with a number of lightning strikes and heavy rain dumping on the region. The Weather Service reports that more than three-tenths of an inch of rain fell between 11 am and 1 pm. There were several instances reported of flooded streets and cogged storm drains, but all of those were quickly cleared. Damage was minimal, as well; the Cowlitz PUD reports only one significant outage, affecting about 2,000 customers at the west end of Longview. They say that the BPA line that feeds the Pacific Way substation failed, but they were able to quickly restore that power by re-routing around the damaged line.
Crash Arrest
Michael Anthony Speck, 28, is under arrest after an alleged hit-and-run crash that took place yesterday morning in Woodland. At 11:25 am, several calls came about a collision that happened near the Shell station on Lewis River Road. Witnesses say that the car was traveling at a high rate of speed, jumped a curb and hit a utility pole. They also reported that the male driver and a female passenger were walking away. Speck and the woman were stopped a short distance from the crash site. A check of the license plate shows that the car had been stolen from Vancouver. Speck, who is listed as a transient, is now being charged with two counts of possession of stolen property, hit-and-run with injuries, driving while suspended and making false statements to police. The woman was questioned and released.
Friday I-205 Crash
An eleven year-old girl is recovering from injuries she received in a two-car crash that took place Friday evening on I-205 in Vancouver. State Troopers say that Meagan Halleck, 28, of Kelso had stopped for traffic in the left lane of the freeway near Mill Plain. She was hit from behind by Christopher Chiriac, 45, of Battle Ground. Eyelina Chiriac, 11, was injured in the crash, and was taken to Southwest Washington Medical Center for treatment. Hallack was unhurt. Christopher Chiriac was cited for following too closely.
Feds Raid
It's being reported that the Internal Revenue Service has raided a business in Saint Helens for alleged non-payment of taxes. Newspapers in Columbia County are reporting on the incident involving Heller Enterprises on Milton Way. An attorney for the company is quoted as saying that a search warrant was served to obtain "records regarding federal excise tax on the manufacture of ammunition." They say records and computer servers were seized; those materials have since been returned, and the business has re-opened. The attorney also says that owner Rob Heller will comply with a subpoena for additional records to be provided by December 9th. IRS officials have provided no details, other than to confirm that an official investigation is under way.
Health Care Purchase
Looking to expand its health care service offerings, the Cowlitz Indian Tribe is purchasing a building in Tukwila that has housed its behavioral health care clinic has been based for several years. The Puget Sound Business Journal reports that the tribe purchased the building from the King County Housing Authority. Tribal Chairman William Iyall says that they have grown the health program into a major tribal initiative, and they're now planning to expand services to members of other tribes, along with Alaska Natives. The tribe is now working on a plan for funding a renovation of the building, so that other tribal members can access their services.

More university students were forced
to work in the fields in 2014.
The Cotton Campaign and the Uzbek-German Forum for Human Rights have documented that the government of Uzbekistan used systematic, mass forced labor in the 2014 cotton harvest, which has recently concluded. In addition to coercing millions of people across the country to pick cotton, this forced labor system resulted in institutionalized harassment, extortion, and needless deaths.
Among the most tragic findings of the report was that 17 people died in the 2014 harvest, six more than last year. In one case, a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old died in a house fire after being left alone while their mother, who could not afford to buy herself out of the harvest, went to pick cotton.
"Cotton in Uzbekistan is produced by massive human rights violations, including forced labor, said Umida Niyazova, director of the Uzbek-German Forum. "Reducing the number of children in the fields by forcing even more adults to work against their will is not sufficient. The government needs to dismantle the forced labor system."
Uzbekistan is the fifth largest cotton producer in the world, producing raw cotton mainly for exports. The government controls every aspect of production and imposes mandatory production quotas on farmers and harvesting quotas on pickers. All cotton must be sold to the government at government-established prices. Uzbekistan's forced cotton harvest is one of the largest state-sponsored forced labor systems in the world.
The Cotton Campaign and RSN called on the United States government and European Union to urge the government of Uzbekistan to end its forced labor system, starting by granting the ILO unfettered access to survey forced labor and initiating agriculture sector reforms.]]>

to sell cotton sourced with forced labor.

The cotton harvest in Uzbekistan has ended this year, but forced labor orchestrated by the government of its own people is still deeply embedded into its production. Although over 160 companies and brands have signed the Cotton Pledge committing to avoid Uzbek cotton, the government has touted signing contracts worth over $1 billion in sales. This dichotomy raises an important question. What is the final destination of Uzbek cotton?
While it can be difficult to track the sale of cotton to a specific company due to the lack of transparency in the supply chain, several countries are known to import large quantities of cotton from Uzbekistan. Since many Western companies have boycotted the use of Uzbek cotton in their products, the Uzbek government has been targeting Asian markets to sell its cotton as well as expanding its domestic market for yarn and textile production. Most companies based in Bangladesh and China, where the vast majority of Uzbek cotton is exported, have yet to take any action to boycott cotton picked with forced labor. Furthermore, all but one cotton trading company continue buying Uzbek cotton.
"Daewoo, Indorama and the trading companies continue to buy forced-labor cotton from Uzbekistan, even after acknowledging the human rights abuses in its production," said Umida Niyazova, Director of the Uzbek-German Forum for Human Rights. "The companies must cease this violation of international business and human rights standards, and their home-country government should hold them accountable."
Upon the completion of the 10th International Uzbek Cotton and Textile Fair in Tashkent on October 14th, 2014, the Government of Uzbekistan announced cotton and textile sales of over $1 billion, compared to approximately $600 million in past years. In 2013, Bangladesh and China were the largest buyers of Uzbek cotton and accounted for over half of total sales. This year, in addition to companies based in Bangladesh and China, companies from South Korea, UAE and Russia also signed cotton contracts.
When Uzbekistan first starting hosting a fair in 2005, it was named the International Uzbek Cotton Fair. Since then, it has changed its name to the International Uzbek Cotton and Textile Fair. With the official announcement of "sales of $1 billion", it is unclear exactly the value of cotton sales that will be exported outside of Uzbekistan, since this figure refers to cotton and textiles. Furthermore, several contracts that were announced were with companies that have joint ventures inside the country such as Daewoo International and Indorama. The figure "560,000 tons" of cotton sold was released, but it is unknown the value of this amount, which is estimated to be about half of the total expected production. The Uzbek government keeps a tight control over any media announcements regarding its cotton exports, keeping many readers in the dark regarding actual prices and exact sales amounts.
Is the Uzbek government increasing domestic production and manipulating the words and numbers to hide the fact that its cotton exports are decreasing? We think so.
The time to end state-orchestrated modern-day slavery in Uzbekistan is now. Due to our combined efforts, some progress has been made, such as the large elimination of the youngest children from the cotton fields. But we must keep up the pressure to ensure all older children and adults are not forced to pick cotton. Apparel brands and retailers have a responsibility to do their part to end cotton crimes around the world. If they haven't already done so, it is important for brands and retailers to sign RSN's Cotton Pledge as well as commit to the Cotton Campaign's Daewoo Protocol. However, companies should not only show their support of ending the coercive system, but establish steps such as communicating their commitments to their suppliers and implementing due diligence to ensure their cotton is not indirectly supporting slave labor.]]>
On September 24, private members bill C-486 was defeated in Canada's parliament prohibiting the bill from receiving a second reading and referral. C-486 was introduced by Paul Dewar, New Democratic Party (NDP) MP and Official Opposition Critic for Foreign Affairs in March 2013. It had the intention of aligning Canada with other ongoing international efforts to reduce the trade in conflict minerals in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries through mineral supply chain due diligence.
The bill came within 19 votes of passing but was defeated by conservatives who instead wanted a voluntary proposal that would not strictly mandate company supply chain due diligence. Modeled on the precedent of Dodd-Frank Section 1502, Dewar's conflict minerals bill sought to obligate Canadian companies using tin, tungsten, tantalum or gold—3TG minerals—in their products to undertake supply chain due diligence. With this due diligence activity, it is hoped that companies will be better able to ascertain the source of the minerals and the extent to which the minerals could be contributing to conflict.
Unfortunately, opponents voting against the bill focused on the downstream repercussions on Canadian companies of the mandatory due diligence rather than the potential upstream benefits in the DRC and surrounding countries. This sentiment was expressed by Louis Brown, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Development, in the last house debate on the issue. According to Brown, "As a result [of the bill's passage] an extremely wide range of companies of varying sizes, functions, and sectors would potentially be implicated by the bill and saddled with significant costs associated with reporting." But, multiple studies have shown that this 'crippling cost' argument is unfounded. A bit contradictorily, opponents complained that the bill had a wider scope than Dodd-Frank but then also argued that it was too limited as it only focused on Africa.
Supporters of the bill expressed the importance of obligatory rather than voluntary supply chain due diligence in order to ensure company engagement on the issue. As expressed by MP Wayne Marston, "When we say 'voluntary', to me that fails the test of true due diligence. I come from farm country, and that is like saying to the fox that we trust it not to come near the henhouse. It would likely not work here."
The Responsible Sourcing Network agrees with this sentiment and encourages Dewar to continue his advocacy on the issue through his Just Minerals Campaign. It is vitally important that jurisdictions introducing new conflict minerals legislation including the proposed EU legislation follow the precedent of mandatory supply chain due diligence and disclosure set in Dodd-Frank 1502. This is critical to ensuring that consistent and robust international standards for downstream corporations are established to bring positive change to the conflict minerals supply chain.]]>
Yesterday, global sustainable and responsible investors and investment organisations representing more than €855 billion in assets under management sent a joint statement to the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the European Council. The statement urges EU policy makers to ensure more compatibility between the proposed EU conflict minerals regulation and Section 1502 of the US Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (known informally as "Dodd-Frank Section 1502"), which aims to prevent mineral sourcing revenues from fuelling the armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The statement was initiated by a working group composed of Boston Common Asset Management, Calvert Investments, Eurosif, Responsible Sourcing Network, Trillium Asset Management, Triodos Investment Management, and US SIF: The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment and has been signed by other organisations.
Read the investor letter with the full list of signatories
As the new European Commission will be inaugurated in the coming weeks and the European Parliament is scheduled to discuss the proposed regulation in December 2014, the statement signatories are expressing their concern about human rights risks related to mineral sourcing and their views on how regulation can help to limit this risk. To reinforce positive developments following the U.S. rules and to maximize effectiveness, the proposed EU regulation requires two key changes. In their statement, investors call on the European legislative bodies to better align the proposed EU regulation with Section 1502, by making the regulation mandatory and including in its scope all companies that manufacture products containing "conflict minerals."
The investor group urges the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the European Council to adapt the EU legislation to better fit with the precedent set by the U.S. rules to promote companies' broad adoption of robust conflict minerals due diligence and reporting.]]>
Tesco has joined the fight against forced labor in Uzbek cotton by signing RSN's Cotton Pledge. This support comes as the country prepares for the annual International Uzbek Cotton and Textile Fair, scheduled for October 14th and 15th in Tashkent. Retailers and apparel brands are taking action to prevent Uzbek cotton from entering their supply chains. Markets for Uzbek cotton sourced with forced labor continue to diminish as consumers become more aware of the egregious human rights violations that occur during the Uzbek cotton harvest, with over four million Uzbek citizens forced to pick cotton under threat of penalty.
Read the Russian language version
Due to the pressure on the Uzbek government by the international community, there have been some success in reducing human rights violations. Finally, after five years of coordinated advocacy, children ages 7-15 are almost completely absent from the fields, and the International Labour Organization (ILO) was allowed to monitor the cotton harvest for the "worst forms of child labor" last year. Much of the international pressure has come from retail companies who have signed RSN's Cotton Pledge, committing to not use Uzbek cotton harvested with forced labor in their products. In addition to Tesco, recent signatories include Lacoste and Raven+Lily.
Retailers and brands have the power to decide where to source their products. We urge them to sign the Cotton Pledge if they haven't yet. With a growing majority of global retailers and brands pledging not to use Uzbek cotton, the Government of Uzbekistan will be pressed to dismantle its orchestrated system of forced labor, and students, teachers, and civilians will be able to continue their normal lives.]]>
As a part of 1502, different U.S. Government institutions, including the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commerce Dept., were given specific roles to help carry out the intention of the law—to increase conflict free mineral sourcing from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and surrounding region. Last year, as part of its mandate, the GAO published a report detailing progress made by the different government institutions to be in compliance with 1502. The Commerce Dept. was criticized for failing to meet its January 2013 deadline to issue a list. In response to the GAO report, "Commerce concurred with the GAO's recommendations and noted that it will submit a listing of all known conflict minerals processing facilities worldwide to Congress by September 1, 2014."
Nearly making this deadline, the Commerce Dept.'s International Trade Administration (ITA) agency presented the list to Congress September 5, 2014. Using data from the U.S. Geological Survey and supplemented by other compiled lists of conflict minerals smelters, this list highlights a range of large and small-scale smelters and refiners throughout the world in locations such as Australia, China, Brazil, and Russia.
This list is intended to help downstream companies identify the facilities that make up the critical "choke point" in the 3TG supply chain. The smelter and refiner level is the step in the supply chain where one can discern the country of origin and mine of origin of 3TG because it is at this processing step that the raw ores are transformed into refined metals.
Ideally, this list would have also provided information as to which facilities source from DRC and the surrounding region and which have been certified as "conflict-free" to better assist companies in their 3TG supply chain due diligence efforts. Unfortunately, staff at the Commerce Dept. stated that they did not "have the ability to distinguish such facilities." Thus companies must continue to rely on independent initiatives like the Conflict Free Smelter Program, which is managed by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative to obtain such information.
Although this due diligence information would have been a useful addition to the list, the list itself is still a valuable tool and an important source of information in the effort to make the 3TG supply chain more transparent, accurate, and accountable.]]>
Hosted by the Institute for Supply Management, this podcast on conflict minerals in corporate supply chains features RSN Director Patricia Jurewicz and Jay Celorie, the global program manager for conflict minerals for HP, who directs programs to conduct due diligence in HP's supply chain and coordinates with industry and stakeholders.

The Spinner Verification initiative will establish a verification system for slave-free cotton yarn spinners and textile mills. It is often a challenge for home goods and apparel companies to know the country of origin of the cotton in the yarn or textiles they use, and therefore understand where they are exposed to human rights risks.
Since spinning mills are the point of entry for raw cotton into the global textile industry, the goal of this initiative is to provide verification for mills that are not using cotton picked with forced labor. Auditing and verifying yarn spinners as clean of slave-labor will drive the market away from this abusive practice. Companies can then better identify and source materials from truly responsible spinning mills.
These two webinars will take place on September 18th, 2014, 10:00 AM ET, and October 1st, 2014, 12:00 PM ET.
To RSVP to attend one of the presentations, or if you'd like more information about the Spinner Verification initiative, please contact Natalia Alvarez at natalia*sourcingnetwork.org.
Look to our website in the weeks to come for more information on the development of the Spinner Verification initiative.]]>
The annual cotton harvest in Uzbekistan has officially begun as of Monday, September 8. Mass mobilization of civilians being forced to pick cotton is expected to begin on September 15.
Nearly million citizens will be forced to return to the fields to pick cotton under threat of punishment. Citizens are paid very little, and some are forced to pay transportation and housing fees while working, ending up indebted to the state. Conditions are often strenuous, with irregular access to food, water, shelter, and sanitation.
Students ages 16 to 18 are being mobilized to work, with parents being forced to sign a contract that indicates the children "volunteered" to perform agricultural work during the school year in order for their children to remain enrolled. Although the Government of Uzbekistan claims that child labor under the age of 15 has been eradicated, it is difficult to confirm independently, and it's unlikely that the practice has been ended altogether. Teachers have also been forced to sign up for work in the cotton harvest or resign their positions.
To end this coercive system of forced labor, action must be taken from a variety of sources. Retail and apparel companies can influence the government of Uzbekistan by refusing to source Uzbek cotton and making a commitment to determining the origin of the cotton in their products to ensure it is free of forced labor.
By not speaking out against forced labor in Uzbekistan, companies risk violating their principles and hurting their reputations. One high-profile example is Daewoo International, a subsidiary of the multi-national steel company Posco, which has come under consumer pressure and criticism for knowingly sourcing forced labor cotton from Uzbekistan.

By Blaire Briody for The Fiscal Times
NEW YORK (The Fiscal Times) — As pro-life advocates frequently argue, abortions can cause emotional stress and anxiety for the women who get them, but one study is also looking at the long-term effects of women with unwanted pregnancies who don't have an abortion.
The ongoing study from researchers at Advancing New Standards in Public Health, which works on reproductive health care and policy, follows the lives of nearly 1,000 women who sought an abortion and finds that women turned away because their pregnancies had advanced past the legal period were more likely to rely on government assistance and live below the poverty line and less likely to have a full-time job a year later than the women had abortions.
At the time the women sought abortions, there were no differences in economic status between the two groups and 45% were getting public assistance. But after a year, 76% of the women in the study who wanted an abortion and were turned away were on public assistance, compared with 44% of those who got abortions, and 67% of "turnaways" were living below the poverty line (versus 56% of women who got abortions).
The study's researchers note that much of the existing work on this topic tends to compare women who got abortions with those who have the baby by choice, not those who wanted to have an abortion but couldn't legally. "Such a comparison is inherently biased and paints a distorted picture of life following an elective abortion or pregnancy continuation," the researchers write.

Record electric demand reached Tuesday night
Updated On: Jan 08 2014 04:58:30 AM CST
PPL set a demand record Tuesday and is asking the public to conserve electricity.
The utility set a record Tuesday morning of 7.6 million kilowatt hours in the 7-8 a.m. hour and then broke that record Tuesday night.
In the 5-6 p.m. hour, there were 7.78 million kilowatt hours of usage, which is enough power for more than 700 average homes for a year.
PPL Spokesperson Joe Nixon said their system is holding up well, but there are steps people can take to help lower the demand on the system.
PJM, the region's independent electricity grid operator, and PPL are asking people to conserve electricity, especially from 6 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 7 p.m.
One thing you can do is set the thermostat lower if you can.
Nixon added, "Postponing use of major appliances like stoves, dryers, anything like that, use those preferably in the middle of the day after 9 p.m."
"You can seal doors and windows if they have drafts with weather stripping or caulking," he said.
Nixon also reminded people to close off rooms not in use and turn off lights and electronics not in use.
Rolling blackouts are not expected, he said.
"There are no plans from PJM at this point to call for those and we're hopeful that's not necessary," said Nixon.
"The work we do all year, the investments we make all year, are really for year-round reliability, but they really pay dividends when it's really hot, when it's really cold."
Nixon said they are having minor issues across their system and have enough people working to handle issues that might arise.

|Budget Car Insurance
|Cover Available
|Types of Policy Available
|Courtesy car & Windscreen
|Comprehensive & TPFT
|Second car & No claims
We provide an independent comparison service free of charge but we may receive a commission from some of the companies we refer you to. These are indicated with purple buttons.
Budget car insurance provides the service i need at a price that is fair. I have been with this company for 4 years after problems with other companies and I am happy to say I have found something in Budget that is not always offered by others, that is confidence they will look after me. Their price, renewal procedures and customer service if very good
I took out budget car insurance for one year as it was the cheapest car insurance i could find as myself as the only named driver for third party fire and theft.
Unfortunately I was involved in an accident which wasnt my fault and as I had never been in an accident before I was apprehensive about calling my insurance and unsure of the process to follow.
I called budget imminently on the number they had sent out to me and asked to save in my phone (very useful as i always lose letters so as I had followed this prompt I was very greatful when I came to need it)
When I rang the people at budget were very friendly and caring and seamed concerned about my health and safety as a priority. They were always at the end of the phone when I needed them and could answer all my questions giving me reliable advice.
I was provided with a courtesy car the same day which I had use of until my claim came through at no extra cost (the courtesy car company were not great however were a separate company which budget recommended but you were not obliged to use).
In all a good experience
I have been with budget for 2 years now, each time coming out with the best quote for all the items that I needed on my insurance. I have (fortunately) not had a need to speak to customer services or use the claim line, but feel confident they would be there if I needed them.
I have been with budget car insurance for I don't know how long and just before Christmas they renewed my account with them without asking, not only that but budget have set a certain date for my direct debits to come out! So i make sure money is there for them but when they take the money from my account LATE they then charge me ?25 and I also get charged from my bank and although I have contacted them on many occasions they will not pay the money back or even try to help.
I am very upset with the company and hope everything sorts itself out soon as it is just costing to much to run a car

A lot of developer tools and technologies have taken off this year, and some have been around for a while but are now poised for large-scale adoption. This article lists 30+ dev tools and technologies that I think are going to be big in 2014.
Every week here and in our newsletter, we feature a new developer/blogger from the DZone community to catch up and find out what he or she is working on now and what's coming next. This week we're talking to Peter Zaitsev, MySQL performance specialist and Founder, CEO of Percona.
There are many facets to software design. A common example is loss aversion, which refers to "people's tendency to strongly prefer avoiding losses to acquiring gains." Armed with this knowledge, more informed decisions are possible throughout the software development cycle. The following list details a few examples where loss aversion can play a role in software development:
Recently, Datablend open-sourced two new Tinkerpop Blueprints implementations: blueprints-mongodb-graph and blueprints-datomic-graph. Tinkerpop is an open source project that provides an entire stack of technologies within the Graph Database space.
This article looks at the recent mud-slinging (if you can call it that) going on between Hortonworks and Cloudera. It's got to be good news for Hadoop, at least, and it highlights the widespread influence of the open-source Big Data framework.
You hear a lot about "change the ratio" and encouraging young people, especially young women, into technology. Njeri "Martha" Chuomo is 19 years old, a Ruby programmer living in Nairobi, and changing more than just the ratio.
There are many ways to learn but teaching might be the best one.
Recently, Dan wrote a great piece on testing network failures with NuoDB's support for geo-distribution. If you haven't read it, then go do that right now. It's cool, and it illustrates pretty clearly how you can tune the rules for durability based on awareness of regions.
Let me ask you a question; why do agile frameworks recommend limiting team size to 7±2? If you answered "communication" or "collaboration", congratulations you're correct. But do you understand why?
As the demands on the applications we write shifts, the technologies we use start to make it harder to meet them, and pretty soon we feel like we are always working against the technologies that are supposed to be helping us.
When people are doing a physical task, it's easy to assess how hard they are working. Recognizing and rewarding hard work is a pretty fundamental human instinct, it is one of the reasons we find endurance sports so fascinating. This instinctive appreciation of physical hard work is a problem when it comes to managing creative-technical employees. Effective knowledge workers often don't look like they are working very hard.
The topic of perfection is a common discussion at the programming dinner table. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it healthy? Is it possible? Is it realistic? With that in mind, the following section outlines the benefits and pitfalls of perfectionism in software development:
How does one change the world? One random act of kindness at the time. But I'm a software engineer. It's hard to do random acts of kindness when it comes to doing IT related stuff. I often think I should do something about this. The ultimate solution would be that you could do this with a group of software engineers.
Some websites are made to inspire debate, and this is one: "NoSQL vs. SQL: SQL is the new NoNoSQL." It contains a side-by-side comparison of SQL and NoSQL in general, answering questions such as "is it based upon a rock-solid theory," "will it still be there in 10 years," "can it scale up," and many more.

|Skinner shakes off slow start to lead Wake Forest
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 27 December 2007 01:23
A year after Riley Skinner led the Demon Deacons to an improbable Atlantic Coast Conference title, Grobe thought the sophomore was putting too much pressure on himself.
``We tried to calm him down before the Boston College game, but the problem was he had such a good freshman year, typically your thoughts are, 'I'm going to be a lot better as a sophomore,''' Grobe said Wednesday. ``He really doesn't need to be a whole lot better. He just needs to help us take care of the football.''
Skinner didn't. In a disastrous opener, Skinner threw three interceptions - and dislocated his right shoulder - in a 38-28 loss at Boston College. Then, he missed the next two games waiting for his shoulder to heal, only to come back and throw three more interceptions before rallying to beat Maryland.
``I felt like I needed to put more on my shoulders and try to make plays,'' Skinner said. ``That's not all the time what you need to do. Unfortunately I learned that the hard way.''
Skinner then started to trust his teammates more and didn't force the ball into bad spots. It paid off.
Skinner holds the nation's second-best completion rate of 71.9 and Wake Forest (8-4) has won eight of 10 games heading into Saturday's matchup with Connecticut (9-3) in the Meineke Bowl.
``You want a kid to accept responsibility. You want them to feel that they need to be the difference, if that's what it takes,'' Grobe said. ``But if that gets to the point where you're forcing things too much, then you make a lot of mistakes. I think that was evident early in the year.
``After we got past the Maryland game, I think he calmed back down and became the quarterback we expected him to be.''
Over the past five games, Skinner has thrown only three interceptions and five touchdown passes. Using a rejuvenated running game behind freshman Josh Adams, Wake Forest scored 38 and 31 points in beating North Carolina State and Vanderbilt to close the regular season.
``When you've got a guy that's completing 70 percent of his throws, he's obviously making a lot of good decisions,'' Grobe said. ``I think we're getting everything we can out of Riley. Our big deal right now with Riley Skinner is the supporting cast. If the other 10 guys are pretty good, Riley will get it done.''
Skinner's easygoing demeanor was on display Wednesday, when the Demon Deacons held their first practice in Charlotte. A day after spending Christmas with his family in Florida, Skinner showed up like he was still at home, underdressed in a short-sleeve jersey in cold, rainy conditions.
Yet Skinner seemed unfazed, joking around as he warmed up before practice. He trusts his teammates and they clearly respect him.
``He had a rough start, obviously, with the injury,'' said Kenneth Moore, Skinner's top target with 87 catches and five touchdowns. ``That says a lot about him. He's done a great job for this team. He's been a leader in and out of the huddle.''
And because of fewer mistakes from the quarterback, Wake Forest is preparing to play in consecutive bowl games for the first time in school history.
``In Riley's case, I think he's grown up a lot and he's learned that for the most part you don't have to be the guy,'' Grobe said. ``You've just go to make sure you don't get us beat.''

RENO, NV - One person is dead after a helicopter crash at the Reno-Stead Airport.
The Reno Fire Department tells KOLO 8 News Now the helicopter was a single-seat helicopter with a blue frame.
The accident happened at 12:09 p.m. Sunday, killing 46-year-old Michael Seeliger.
A pilot from a second helicopter lost contact with a kit helicopter. The pilot began to search for the missing helicopter and discovered the wreckage.
Authorities say the kit helicopter is one that can be made at home.
"It's something you can build right here at the airport and hanger," says Brian Kulpin, spokesman for Reno-Tahoe International Airport. "The FAA comes out and certifies the aircraft for flight and that's what occurred with this helicopter about a week ago so not a lot of flight time in this aircraft."
The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration will conduct the investigation to determine the cause.
