As you consider H.R. 2578, the "Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2017," the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the world's largest business
federation representing the interests of more than three million businesses of all sizes, sectors,
and regions, as well as state and local chambers and industry associations, and dedicated to
promoting, protecting, and defending America's free enterprise system, urges you to provide for
programs and initiatives important to the business community, including the Manufacturing
Extension Partnership (MEP) program, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR),
intellectual property rights (IPR) enforcement, and mitigating burdensome practices by the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
The MEP program helps manufacturers become more competitive by improving their
productivity, leveraging private sector investments, and assisting the U.S. industrial base to
become an innovative high tech global competitor. The Chamber urges greater investment in the
program by providing at least $141 million for qualified MEP centers.
The Chamber requests that you commit at least $59.4 million for the Office of the USTR
for FY17. At present, USTR is advancing several of the largest trade pacts in U.S. history,
including the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade agreement with 11 other Asia-Pacific
nations; the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with the EU; and the Trade
in Services Agreement (TISA) with more than 50 nations. Once concluded, these agreements
will provide American exporters and the workers they employ with significantly improved
access to markets representing two-thirds of the global economy. This moderate increase in
funding is badly needed to strengthen the ability of USTR—one of the smallest and most
efficient agencies in the U.S. government—to open international markets to U.S. goods and
services and ensure effective enforcement of U.S. trade agreements for the American people.
Additionally, the Chamber encourages keeping the Office of the United States Trade
Representative (USTR) within the Executive Office of the President.
The Chamber would like to highlight the importance of the Department of Justice
Criminal Division and FBI continuing to make IPR enforcement an investigative and
prosecutorial priority. The Chamber urges the Department's IP-dedicated personnel to
investigate notorious U.S. based content theft sites and apps that are engaged in illegal activity
that threatens companies and consumers.
The Chamber also emphasizes the National Telecommunications and Information
Administration's (NTIA) important responsibilities relating to the eventual transition of the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions. NTIA has steadfastly opposed a
transition to any mechanism that would deviate from the current multistakeholder model of
Internet governance and should be allowed to take any needed steps to achieve the caution and
transparency that the Chamber agrees is essential for a safe and smooth transition of the technical
functions. Any hindering of NTIA's ability to conduct the proper levels of due diligence through
the use of currently available resources could result in harm to U.S. businesses and Internet users
as a whole.
The Chamber supports amendment #4690 offered by Sen. Alexander that would prohibit
any funding to be expended on collecting information from employers pertaining to EEOC's
recently proposed changes to its EEO-1 reporting form. EEOC's proposed changes to the form
would require employers to submit data regarding employees' W-2 earnings and hours worked
broken down by race, ethnicity and gender, to the Commission. This would be an extremely
onerous and costly administrative exercise for employers and the data that would be produced
would not provide any insight as to whether an employer's pay practices are discriminatory.
Additionally, the EEOC's proposal fails to set forth appropriate safeguards to ensure that this
sensitive information would remain confidential.
The Chamber further supports the provision in this legislation to require the Department
of Justice to report on its practice of entering into civil settlements that require donations to
organizations that are not parties to litigation. This practice raises serious separation of powers
concerns and undermines Congress's exclusive appropriations authority. Congress alone has the
power of the purse, and agencies should not be allowed to circumvent the appropriations process
to fund special interest groups. The Chamber encourages the Senate to prohibit the practice
altogether by inserting provisions similar to that contained in S. 3050, the "Stop Settlement Slush
Funds Act of 2016."
Lastly, the Chamber strongly opposes adoption of any provision that would blacklist
government contractors solely on the basis of a change in the location of their corporate
domicile. Debarring contractors who are in full compliance with U.S. law would undermine the
principles of full and open competition and best value for the taxpayer. Moreover, enactment of
such proposals could place at risk the jobs of American workers who provide goods and services
to the U.S. government.
The Chamber appreciates your consideration of these recommendations as you consider
H.R. 2578, the "Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2017."

Decided to set aside family time and play Friday night at Hollywood. I usually play during the day with all the old time grinders. Friday night brings out the casual player with casual money. I walk into the room and notice a big check sitting at the floor station. Damn. The bad beat was just hit. $304K and some change. I get a 1/3 seat immediately Second hand there I get KQ suited in middle position. I limp to see where the table is. Five of us see the flop of J T 3 rainbow. I take a stab with my straight draw and win. Two hands later I have ATos It is straddled on the button I limp. Two other callers to the button. The button, whom I have played with often, raises the $6 straddle to $30. Normally this is an pretty quick fold. But I have info on this guy and he over bets his weaker hands. The other two callers call so I go along for the ride. The flop is A Q 3. Checked to the button who thinks then moves in for $130 more. The others fold. I go with my read and make the instant call. 8 and 9 complete the board. He declares one pair and show A 4 My hand holds and I am on my way.
I get AA soon there after. I get my $15 bet called by a clearly recreational player on my right. We see the flop heads up Ad Jd 6c. He surprises me my betting into me $15. Now with experienced players this is them just trying to take the pot with the ace scare card on the board. This guy is not experienced. He has caught part of the board and is betting his hand. I decide after a bit to raise my top set to $50 My feeling was he had two pair or possibly a smaller set and was not going anywhere. Outside chance he was on a flush draw. He obliged and called. The turn was a ten. No diamond. I pushed and he called. River is the King. AQ just got there. I showed my set and he mucked saying he had the last Ace. Up to $800
Get AA again. Win a small pot. Get it again later. Raise to $15. Lady on the button hems and haws. Then stacks up her $130 and moves in. I am surprised when another player moves in for about the same. I flash my cards to my neighbor and tell them I have a bad feeling about this. I call. I am up against AK and JT. AA holds and I am cruising.
Lose some back. Lose some more. Back down to $800 Seriously considering leaving soon. Get 7s8s on the button Four limpers to me. I limp with my position. The blinds come along. Flop is Kc 5s 6d. Checked to me. I take a stab at it with my draw. Called in three places. The guy to my right comes alive and raises it to $50 I tank for a bit. I have observed his play since he sat down. This is a guy who is willing to play any two cards. He is aggressive and is not afraid to get his money into the middle. I decide to call. We are now heads up. The river is the 9c. Gives me the nutz. He promptly puts in $130 more. He has a little less than $200 behind. I put him in and he calls instantly. My hand holds against his 65os I am up to $1300 I call it a night soon after and go home.
Wife is waiting up for me at 12:30 am.
Very good night.

Many people in Saskatchewan continue to ignore the speed limit.
Numbers released by SGI Wednesday morning show there were over 44-hundred speeding violations in November—or almost 150 per day.
SGI also reports there were 279 impaired driving offences and 284 tickets handed out for distracted driving with a majority of those being for cellphone use.
While police across the province are looking for everything, there is once again a focus on impaired driving in December.

Former Valparaiso standout Joaquim Gomes was recently named the Most Valuable Player of the 2009 FIBA African Championship after leading his native Angola to its sixth consecutive gold medal.
Gomes, a two-time Olympian with the Angolan squad, averaged 15.3 points and 7.2 rebounds per game and connected on 62.5% of his field goal attempts en route to being named the tournament's Best Center as well as MVP. In the championship game, an 82-72 victory over Cote d'Ivoire, Gomes poured in 16 points and ripped down a game-high 16 rebounds, including ten on the offensive end.
The tournament title qualifies Angola for the 2010 FIBA World Championships, where it will represent Africa as reigning champion for the third time in a row.

Hmmm, a tale of two halves this. Two sides to my little three year old boy. Firstly the bad stuff. The part of him which lashes out. Shockingly he has smacked me in the face with my iPhone giving me a massive bruise. He's been a bit unwell and this seems to come out in dreadful, dreadful behaviour especially violence towards me and his dad. Have lost count of how many times he has hit or kicked me this week.
But then we have the good side. The changed boy who has just realised he likes his baby brother after all. The side which wants to play with the baby, to kiss and hug him. The side which will dangle a toy and call Baby's name and be the sweetest big brother ever.
Such a massive contrast. I just hope the naughtiness goes with the illness cos I'm already sick of it. The loving big brother side can stay!

The sound, the rolling tide of traffic fills
Shifting, humming, breathing stills,
Slashed gold on crumpled brick,
The asphalt's faded, decades quick.
No rain, just greetings falling on the road,
Signs rust bright, the awning's bowed.
This time capsule bubble, pocket nook,
Forever and ever with same blank look.
An afternoon in a small town.

text: Following two critically acclaimed runs of The Bowie Project in 2014 & 2015 Andrea Ariel Dance Theatre, together with Super Creeps the Austin-based David Bowie tribute band and New York City-based Strike Anywhere Performance Ensemble, will blend their talent and passion once again for the final Austin performances of The Bowie Project: A Rock & Roll Soundpainting in a tribute to David Bowie. Accompanied by the unmistakable sounds of the music legend, the imaginative production takes the audience on an enthralling journey of dance and theater in a rock & roll concert drawing extensively on Bowies life and music. No two shows are the same in this exciting, unpredictable theatrical and musical experience. The Bowie Project appeals to dance and theatre audiences, as well as music and Bowie fans of all ages. The concert, featuring Bowie songs written between 1969-1977, will spark curiosity and unearth an interest in the art of Soundpainting- the craft of live composition through a sign language used to lead improvised performances among musicians, actors, dancers, visual and media artists.

Sept. 23 (Bloomberg) — Liquefied natural gas traders in northwest Europe won't buy many short-term cargoes of the fuel until U.S. export projects boost supply and end the deferral of cargoes to Asia, according to Eneco Holding NV's trading unit.
At least six U.S. terminals need to start operating by 2018 to 2020 to increase shipments to Europe, according to Frens Geuzinge, head of gas structuring and origination at Eneco Energy Trade. The Rotterdam-based company hasn't bought a spot cargo this year after contracting one in 2012, he said.
Price differences between Asia and Europe widened in the past two years as demand soared in Japan following the shutdown of nuclear reactors after the March 2011 Fukushima disaster, reducing imports to Europe and encouraging reloading of tankers for exports from storage tanks. The U.S. has approved exports of LNG to countries with which it doesn't have a free trade agreement from four terminals and 18 applications are pending as a shale gas boom boosts domestic gas output. The first, Cheniere Energy Inc.'s Sabine Pass, may start producing LNG in 2015, according to a regulatory filing Aug. 2.
"It will be very difficult to bring in spot cargoes into northwest Europe as long as the worldwide LNG market is tight," Geuzinge said by e-mail Sept. 20. "After some U.S. LNG projects will be developed and producing, the northwest European market will become more relaxed."
Eneco, which has an LNG team of five people, has a position at the Gate terminal in Rotterdam to import 1 billion cubic meters of gas per year until October 2015. While having a supply contract with Royal Dutch Shell Plc for half of that volume until then, the company also concluded several option contracts for the remaining capacity, as well as trying to source spot cargoes, Geuzinge said.
Asian Premium
Asia has paid on average $3.47 per million British thermal units more than Europe in the past year, according to assessments by World Gas Intelligence of cargoes for delivery in four to eight weeks. Prices in Asia rose to a record $19.40 in February, when the European contract cost $14.70, the WGI data show.
"Accepting LNG at pricing conditions above the traditional benchmarks will be difficult for us," Geuzinge said.
Since the opening of Gate in September 2011, Eneco has berthed two ships under the Shell contract, in January 2012 and April 2013, and one spot cargo in July 2012, he said. Gate received two tankers in January 2012, the Gemmata and LNG Jupiter, according to port and ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. The Dutch port received one cargo in April 2013 on board the Al Khuwair and two vessels in July 2012, LNG Port Harcourt and Arctic Princess, the data show.
European Volumes
Spot and short-term trades accounted for 25 percent of the global LNG market last year, according to the International Group of Liquefied Natural Gas Importers, a Paris-based lobby group. Europe received 12 percent of global spot cargoes in 2012, down from 20 percent a year earlier, the data show.
While much of the North American supplies, linked to Henry Hub benchmark prices, will head to the Pacific Basin to benefit from higher demand, some volumes will end up in Europe, said John Hattenberger, chief executive officer of Global NatGas Advisors LLC in Houston, who has worked in LNG and natural gas for 36 years including as the former head of Gazprom Marketing & Trading Ltd.'s U.S. unit.
"I think the major impact from North American exports will be a huge increase in market liquidity: more ships, flexible delivery, Henry Hub indexed pricing, and a lot more players in the LNG trading space," he said last month.
U.S. Approvals
The Energy Department this month granted Dominion Resources Inc. approval to export LNG from an existing terminal in Maryland, after allowing Lake Charles Exports LLC last month to ship the fuel from its terminal in Louisiana. The U.S. had previously approved LNG exports from the Sabine Pass terminal in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, and the Freeport LNG Terminal in Quintana Island, Texas.
North America will probably export 50 million metric tons in 2020, 80 percent of which on the spot market, according to Thierry Bros, an analyst at Societe Generale SA in Paris. That would help boost the spot market to 110 million tons, or 32 percent of total LNG supply, he said.
"We should get a little bit more LNG in Europe in 2020," Bros said Sept. 20 by e-mail. "In our model we have 50 billion cubic meters of LNG in 2018 versus a record low of 42 billion cubic meters in 2013."

A Seductive, Mysterious, So-Very-Retro But In-The-Moment Lamp... Named Cindy?
If ever there was a lamp that exuded sensuality, without of course being in human form, there is the Cindy Lamp, designed by Ferruccio Laviani for Kartell. Shiny, sleek, in decadent colors that reflect every object in subtle tones of themselves... The Cindy Lamp is a slow, seductive, atonal, film noire tune.
Then, why Cindy? One writer assumes that "Cindy" is the girl next store who grew up to become "a veritable vixen." Cindy was a popular nickname in the 60's and 70's, and the table lamp style is definitely a throwback to the '70s, but with a geometric shade. The bold colors are Deco, and the shiny material is reminiscent of the more muted aluminum cups in every 1957 kitchen. But the vibrancy is all 2009.
Indeed the Cindy Lamp is a veritable vixen; but she needs a name like Zoe or Renata.
In any case, the Cindy Lamps simply glow with delight. You will want one in every color just because you can't decide among them.
Despite their shine, they're really not aluminum; they are made of a "technoplastic technopolymer," a material Cindy never heard of, no doubt. In Bronze, Flamingo, Gun Metal, Mint Green, Platinum, Tangerine, Ultramarine, and Violet, the Cindy Lamps are energy efficient, operating on a 25 Watt 120 Volt Type E27bulb. The Cindy Table Lamp is 9.25 inches in diameter and 16.5 inches high. Find her in every color at Lumens.com. You can name each one whatever you like!
Isn't she gorgeous?

Acclaimed writer Charles Soule takes up residence in the cosmic end of the DC Universe on June 26th, when "Red Lanterns" #21 hits comic shops. MTV Geek recently got the chance to chat with him about his goals for the series, his approach to storytelling, and what makes the Red Lantern Corps unique among DC's spacefaring teams.
MTV Geek: Charles, your first issue of "Red Lanterns" is released in a few weeks – tell us what we need to know before jumping in.
Charles Soule: Well, the Red Lanterns are part of the spectrum of Lanterns that were established in the Geoff Johns run on "Green Lantern," where every color has its own Lantern Corps, and each color is tied to a place on the emotional spectrum. So, the Blue Lanterns are powered by hope, the Greens are powered by the force of will, and the Red Lanterns are powered by rage. Each of the Red Lanterns had something terrible happen in their lives that essentially soaked them in rage, which gives them the ability to wield a Red power ring. The Red energy sought them out, gave them this power, and now they go around the galaxy avenging wrongs that are similar to what happened to them. That's the set-up.
Now, the first thing I'm doing as writer: I'm bringing in a character named Guy Gardner, who has quite a history in the DC Universe. He was formerly one of the major Green Lanterns, but he didn't quite fit the mold. He was kind of a loose cannon in that company. He's unpredictable, he's kind of a hothead, and that's what makes him so well-suited to being a Red Lantern. He has a lot of anger, he's not the square-jaw hero type.
Geek: Tell us a little more about Guy. What should we know about this character?
Soule: Guy Gardner, before he became a Green Lantern, was a cop from Baltimore. So effectively, I'm thinking of him as another member of the cast of "The Wire." We never saw him onscreen, but just for fun I like to think he was there, part of that world. He hasn't had an easy time.
And then, as a Green Lantern, he's never really felt comfortable. Part of the character's appeal is that he never quite fit in… Guy has, rightly or wrongly, seen himself labeled as an also-ran in GL history. He's never been seen as on the level of John Stewart or Hal Jordan or Kyle Rayner, and that's been a constant point of frustration for him. He's had trouble defining his own identity, except in relation to other people. And in switching his Corps, no longer being second-banana in the Green Lanterns, instead becoming a star of the Reds – he's using this chance to carve out his own identity in a way where he won't be so overshadowed. This is his chance to step out on his own.
Geek: So then, let's talk about the Red Lanterns as a group. What makes this team interesting?
Soule: Well, for starters, they're much more rough and tumble than the Greens. These are a bunch of roughnecks and oddballs. My key to this is that these aren't "space cops" like many of the Lantern Corps – they're more like the characters from "Sons Of Anarchy" or "The Shield." They're given this power, and it's pretty entertaining to see what they do with it. They aren't necessarily good people, and we're seeing them getting a chance to become good people, but not always going about it in good ways.
Geek: What are your storytelling goals in your first few issues?
Soule: The first arc is a mix of establishing a new status quo and re-establishing history for the readers that are just jumping on board. In the first six issues, I'm trying to make it as accessible as I can. That's always one of my goals when I'm working on a serial – you can pick up any one issue and be entertained, whether or not you've read what comes before. I introduce everybody right off the bat, and then there's a cool crossover coming in just a few issues which will involve an amazing villain Rob Venditti came up with called Relic. Events spinning out of that crossover will help to set up the Reds' place in the larger universe.
So my three immediate goals are: making sure I get everyone properly introduced and established; handling the Relic crossover in a satisfying way; and laying out the new continuity that will sustain things going forward for a long time to come. It's really exciting working in this family of books alongside creators like Robert Vendetti, Van Jensen and Justin Jordan, and I'm working to build a story engine that will just keep spinning out new cool things.
Geek: So, are you focusing more on the huge cosmic side of the Lanterns, or are you more interested in telling the stories that happen in the edges of this universe?
Soule: While there's always a huge cosmic thing at the core of these stories, the Red Lanterns aren't just tied to the giant world-shattering space stories. As I said, they're not self-styled space cops – they're more like a space biker gang. They have their own code, they do things their way, they have their own interests. Think of the way that biker gangs have their territory, they control it, and they deal with the competition. That's what these guys do, they're carving out an identity for themselves in a universe full of other gangs. The Reds have sometimes seemed to be the last-ditch weapons for everyone else, but they can be more than that. I want them doing their own thing, not just coming in to add muscle when the Greens can't handle it on their own. It's gonna be big, and crazy, and exploitative, and outrageous. And it's funny! I don't want to lose that element, because there's a lot of fun to be had here, when you have this motley assortment of characters thrown together.
My goal is to establish The Reds as a big part of this universe, and also make them stand on their own. The Green Lantern family of books have a deep bench so far as continuity goes, and I'm very aware of that – I'm nodding to that, giving it its due, but making sure the stories aren't being overwhelmed by it. I want to make sure this book is accessible, works for everyone who picks it up, and delivers as much entertainment in every issue as it possibly can.
Red Lanterns #21 is out June 26th.

Let me know if there are any other looks that you'd like me to create and please share and subscribe!! Have a great weekend!

UMBC's Hussein qualifies for Olympics
UMBC junior Mohamed Hussein took first place, broke the Egyptian national record and qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London in the 200-meter individual medley Sunday afternoon at the Auburn Classic at the Martin Aquatics Center. Hussein, who has already qualified for the Summer Games in the 100 freestyle, becomes the first Egyptian swimmer to ever make the cut for two events at a single Olympic Games. He is the second UMBC swimmer to make the Olympics, joining Mehdi Addadi, who qualified for the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney for his native Algeria.

Hamstring to keep United's Cruz out about 4 weeks
D.C. United midfielder Danny Cruz will miss about four weeks after injuring his right hamstring in the first half of a 3-1 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday night at RFK Stadium, club officials said Tuesday. The setback is softened by the fact that United is approaching a three-week break in the MLS regular season. So Cruz will probably miss just three league matches: Saturday against the New England Revolution, June 16 at the Philadelphia Union and June 24 at the New York Red Bulls.

In my home town there is a boy named Zachary Klassen who is a huge Star Wars fan and unfortunately suffers from a very rare form of Hypoparathyroidism. So rare in fact he is the only known person on the planet that suffers from this disease. The disease does not have a name right now and sadly will probably be named after Zach one day. In medical terms Zach diagnosis is this: "Nucleotide Substitution in Exon-7 of the casr receptor gene". In the simplest terms Zach's body does not produce Para Thyroid Hormone which controls how his body properly distributes calcium. He has suffered with numerous Kidney stones. With treatment his Kidney stones have been drastically reduced but the calcification of his kidney that has taken place can not be reversed. Zach also has severe calcium deposits in his brain which has led to some developmental disabilities. Zach has had this disease since birth, but was only diagnosed at the age of 7. (Zach is 10 now) Before that, he had a life of constant hospital stays and misdiagnosis! Because Zach is the only person known to suffer from this disease, doctors want to study him to further the research in the area of Hypoparathyroidism. Currently the $80,000 dollars per year treatment and prescription bills are being covered by the US government. But because of the economic downturn that everyone is suffering from, the government is looking to cut funding of PTH 1-34 (Zach's medicine) in the 2013 budget. Being that there are only 7 children taking this drug and Zach is Canadian, he is at the top of the list to have his funding cut. Currently the Klassen family is fighting to have the Canadian government help out, but they are reluctant because the treatment happens at the National Institute of Health in Maryland where Zach and his mother Tanis have to travel every 6 months. Tanis' flight expense is not covered by the government.
You can read more about Zach's story here:
I am going to host a series of contests through Instagram and a series of auctions on eBay. I invite the entire Star Wars world to join me in accomplishing these three things:• I want Zach's story to be told. Every improvement in his medical treatment and quality of life has come about because someone new heard his story and could contribute.
• I want Zach to know that he has a family in the Star Wars community and we are willing to fight to help "blow up his Death Star"!
I have the fortune to live in the same town as Official Star Wars artist Robert Bailey: http://www.baileyprints.com/ I spent an evening in Mr. Bailey's studio telling him this very story and I asked him if he could donate a print or drawing to help with this cause. I was blown away by Mr. Bailey's generosity!!! Robert Bailey has donated $2400 dollars worth of prints and drawings to help out our local, mutual Star Wars buddy Zach.
I have also been in contact with Official Star Wars artist Robert Hendrickson: http://www.roberthendrickson.net and Mr Hendrickson has also graciously agreed to donate prints to this cause!
I have also been in communication with FANBOYS director Kyle Newman: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1381100/ who has agreed to donate some signed copies of Fanboys on BluRay and DVD. Mr. Newman will be autographing these copies as well as his wife, actress Jamie King! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0454809/

Fighting Climate Change in California
The American Lung Association in California recognizes that climate change is among the greatest threats to public health we will face this century. Californians are already experiencing climate change effects including increasing air pollution, more frequent and severe heat waves, longer wildfire seasons, severe drought conditions and other threats to lung health.
Fortunately, California is leading the fight to reduce climate pollution from our cars, trucks and energy sources—reducing the impacts to our air and bringing multiple public health benefits as we reduce our reliance on harmful fossil fuels. California's movement toward a zero carbon economy is movement toward a clean air future.
Key Initiatives of the American Lung Association in California
- Health Professionals for Clean Air: a network of hundreds of leading health and medical organizations and individual health providers advocating for strong policies that improve health by reducing climate change impacts.
- Doctors for Climate Health: a platform for physicians to educate their patients and communities about climate change impacts to our air and our health, and the opportunities available to improve the health of our air and environment.
- Clean Transportation: information about the need to transition California to a zero emission future to combat both air pollution and climate change.
- Smart Growth: designing communities to reduce driving and encourage greater use of public transit, walking and cycling to improve air quality, lung health, and fight climate change.

Driving California Forward
Driving California Forward is a report released by the American Lung Association in California and Environmental Defense Fund highlighting the public health and other societal benefits of California's AB 32 fuel policies. According to this study, California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Cap and Trade fuels programs will result in cumulative benefits of $10.4 billion by 2020 and $23.1 billion by 2025 from avoided health costs, energy insecurity and climate change impacts. The transition to cleaner fuels and a more diverse vehicle fleet will result in cleaner air and better health for Californians, increased energy security and a healthier climate.
If you'd like to take a more active role in our fight against climate change, join our Action Network today and take a proactive stance in the fight for healthier lungs and cleaner air.

Can a film create a semblance of justice when the legal system failed?
That's the question I kept asking myself while watching director Renee Tajima-Peña's No Más Bebés, which in English means, "no more babies." The documentary will be broadcast on PBS's "Independent Lens" series on February 1st. Full disclosure: I appear briefly in in the film. But more about that later.
No Más Bebés focuses on Madrigal v. Quilligan, a 1970s civil-rights lawsuit in which 10 poor and working-class Mexican-American women sued one of the most powerful institutions in their city, the Los Angeles County–University of Southern California Medical Center. In their complaint, the women charged that the hospital and its doctors had sterilized them without their informed consent—and, in some instances, even without their knowledge.
Many of the plaintiffs were first approached for tubal ligations—the surgical procedure that effectively sterilizes women by tying, blocking or cutting their fallopian tubes—while in the throes of labor or suffering through the frightening uncertainties of an emergency birth. Some claimed they had been pressured at that vulnerable moment into signing consents. Others said they'd refused the tubal ligation, but were sterilized anyway. Several reported learning of the procedure when they requested contraception after giving birth and were told it would be unnecessary.
"The doctor said, 'Don't cry. It's best for you not to have any more children,'" one of the plaintiffs said in a 1975 interview. "'In Mexico, the people are very, very poor and its best that you not have more children."'
I remember that comment well, because I was the reporter doing the interview. Yes, I covered the beginnings of the Madrigal case.
In the summer of 1975, with an assignment from The Progressive and a small grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism, I went to Los Angeles. I first learned of the suit after seeing a report on coercive sterilization published by Ralph Nader's Health Research Group. For much of that summer, I dashed around the city, meeting the women and learning their stories. I didn't speak Spanish and I didn't drive a car. Somehow, I managed.
At the time I remember thinking that these women were like rape victims; a physical part of their being had been stolen from them.
"My nerves and my head are in great pain," Guadalupe Acosta told me. She'd been sterilized after giving birth to a child who died in the hospital and had no recollection of consenting to a tubal ligation. "Ever since the operation, I am very inattentive. Not forgetful, inattentive. People sometimes have to tell me things twice…. I'm not there."

Dystonia is a movement disorder, meaning it affects parts of the brain that control body movement (motor function). It causes involuntary muscle spasms (contractions), sometimes repeatedly, that can twist the body and be painful. Dystonia symptoms often start in childhood or early adulthood and can range from mild to severe. In about half of cases, dystonia is a symptom of a disease or a result of being exposed to toxins or certain drugs. In most other cases where dystonia is not linked to a specific illness or problem, it is thought to be hereditary. Many cases of dystonia are temporary, such as those brought on by medication. Although there is no cure for dystonia, several treatment options can help control symptoms and allow people to live independently.
These treatment options include:
- Drugs and medication
- Physical therapy
- Surgery - Deep brain stimulation delivers electrical stimulation to targeted areas in the brain that control movement, blocking the neuronal signals that cause abnormal movement. DBS gives significant benefit in most of the people who undergo the procedure for essential tremor.

Sapphire HD5830 Xtreme & HD5850 Xtreme Review
Featuring all-new game tests, this benchmark is for use with Vista-based systems. "There are two all-new CPU tests that have been designed around a new 'Physics and Artificial Intelligence-related computation.' CPU test two offers support for physics related hardware." There are four preset levels that correspond to specific resolutions. "Entry" is 1024 x 768 progressing to "Extreme" at 1920 x 1200. Of course, each preset can be modified to arrange any number of user designed testing. For our testing, I will use the four presets at all default settings.
- Settings (each preset): Default Testing
- Entry: 1024 x 768
- Performance: 1280 x 1024
- High: 1680 x 1050
- Extreme: 1920 x 1200
Higher = Better
You are once again able to see the Sapphire HD5850 Xtreme right in the middle of the pack during the 3DMark Vantage testing at both stock and overclocked speeds. The Sapphire HD5830 Xtreme card was in third from last in every single resolution at both stock and overclocked speeds.

Wilmington is getting some very positive attention this week with the commissioning of the USS Gravely as the Navy's newest destroyer. It's the second time we've hosted a commissioning in two years. What a great honor. It's a big deal for the Cape Fear area.
The thousands who get an up close look at the destroyer are getting a great chance to see the latest state of the art military equipment, and the city and state should be proud. We beat out a couple other larger ports for the honor.
But there's also been a lot of talk about how much money the city and county are shelling out to assist with the Gravely visit. I think this money is probably justified, but I don't know for sure.
You see, the folks involved with this have been less than forthcoming with our reporters, and when that happens, I tend to get suspicious. Their actions would be much easier to support if they would just put it all on the table and tell us why they think it makes sense.
Nevertheless, I think we should be proud of what is going on here. It's a good week. But that pride should also include some courage by our government leaders to stand up and admit how they're spending taxpayer money for this event.
That's my turn. Now it's your turn. To comment on this segment, or anything else, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

One of my best projects from this summer was building a headboard from a vintage 5 panel door I picked up at a garage sale. The only thing I did wrong was to paint it in a semi-gloss bone white. It looked weird.
The semi-gloss was overkill and the bone white did nothing to make the headboard look special.
Hmmm, what to do... Let's add more layers of paint in different colours!!
I got out my latex paints - a grey-blue, a grey-beige, white and the Lenox Tan paint that matches my walls. And I played. I painted a mix of the grey-blue and grey-beige on with a sponge roller, I wiped the tan paint over the top with a paper towel. I added more of the white to the panel edges. You get the picture. I just kept layering paint on until I got a finish that I actually liked.
It looks so awesome in person now!!
I added a blue jewelry box and a tone on tone striped linen bedskirt in the same blue/greys as the headboard to tie everything together.
I'm still searching for the perfect bedspread... stay tuned!
Have a great week!
