Canada's trade negotiators reportedly pushed back on a single bullet point about the new trade deal between the U.S. and Mexico that a health policy expert says could boost prescription drug costs for Canadian patients.
The U.S. trade representative's fact sheet on the new deal that was revealed Monday says it will "require at least 10 years of data protection for biologic drugs."
Currently in Canada, biologics are protected from competition from follow-on or generic-like products for eight years.
Increasing the protection to 10 years "is a big thing that will have an important impact on drug cost in Canada, especially in the context when we're discussing the implementation of a national pharmacare system in Canada," according to Marc-André Gagnon, a pharmaceutical policy researcher at Carleton University in Ottawa who has researched data protection in trade agreements.
Biologics are drugs such as antibodies derived from living organisms. Remicade — used to reduce inflammation in Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis and other illnesses — is an example.
"Contrary to all other countries the most-sold drug in Canada is Remicade," said Gagnon.
"The third most-sold is Humira," another biologic used to treat forms of arthritis, Crohn's and ulcerative colitis.
In 2017, seven of the top 10 medicines contributing to growth in patented drug sales in Canada were biologics, according to the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board's annual report released last week.
When U.S. President Donald Trump released his blueprint to lower drug prices in May, he said "excessively high drug prices, foreign freeloading, and a system rigged to reward list price increases, are burdening the American people."
The U.S. previously pushed for stronger protections on biologics under the defunct Trans Pacific Partnership, such as matching the 12 years of exclusivity for biologics that companies receive in the U.S. As the Cato Institute noted, intellectual property protection has powerful industries behind it and strong advocates in Congress.
But Gagnon said under Trump, the U.S. government's proximity with Big Pharma has increased — for instance, with the appointment of a former pharmaceutical executive as secretary of health — without solving the problem of high drug costs in that country.
Increased intellectual property protection increases drug costs but not drug prices, he added.
Gagnon said Canadian negotiators should demand conditions such as greater R&D-to-sales investments by drug companies in Canada before considering greater intellectual property protections for pharmaceuticals.
The exact details of the U.S. and Mexico agreement are not publicly available.

Anti Displacement - Relocation Policy
ANTI-DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION POLICY (07.02)
Displacement Avoidance Policy.
The _____________________________ is committed to a policy to make all reasonable efforts to ensure that activities undertaken through the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and/or other federal funding will not cause unnecessary displacement or relocation. Such federally funded programs will be administered in such a manner that careful consideration is given during the planning phase with regard to avoiding displacement. The ______________________ will also provide information to and keep citizens involved in the process regarding pending land use changes, zoning and rezoning actions that threaten the preservation of residential areas. Involuntary displacement shall be reserved as a last resort action necessitated only when no other alternative is available and when the activity is determined necessary in order to carry out a specific goal or objective that is of benefit to the public. In this case, community development and housing programs will be planned in a manner which avoids displacement of households or business.
However, "voluntary" relocation (temporary or permanent) may be necessary in order to achieve a benefit to a household or business (such as rehabilitation or replacement of the building). Such benefits shall be identified and requested by the displacee. Voluntary relocation may also occur when a property owner voluntarily offers his home or business property for sale to the _______________________. In these cases, the seller may be required to waive rights as a condition of sale of the property, and the Uniform
Relocation Act provisions will govern actions of the ________________________and/or its representative.
24 C.F.R. Part 570 is a governing document on displacement and is incorporated by reference. 49 C.F.R.
Part 24 provides Uniform Relocation Act information and is incorporated by reference. As pertains to the
______________________ Tenant Assistance, Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Plan, the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development Handbook #1378, shall be adopted in its entirety as a part of this policy as amended.
Definitions of "Standard" and "Non-Standard Suitable for Rehabilitation" Dwelling Unit Condition
In the absence of federal and state provided definitions, the following is provided to establish a frame of reference and context when dealing with matters of displacement and/or relocation as defined in 24 C.F.R.
Part 570 and 49 C.F.R. Part 24.
A. Standard Condition
A dwelling unit is considered "standard" if it has no major defects or only slight defects which are correctable through the course of regular maintenance. It must be in total compliance with applicable county housing and occupancy codes; be structurally sound, watertight, and in good repair; be adequate in size with respect to number of rooms and area of living space and contain the following:
1. A safe electrical wiring system adequate for lighting and other normal electrical devices.
A separate, well-lighted and ventilated bathroom that provides user privacy and contains a sink, commode, and bathtub or shower stall, all in good working order and properly connected.
An appropriate, sanitary and approved source of hot and cold potable water.
An appropriate, sanitary and approved sewage drainage system.
5. A fully usable sink in the kitchen, attached to a potable water source.
6. Adequate space and service connections for a stove and a refrigerator.
An unobstructed egress to a safe, open area at ground level.
Contain a heating system capable of sustaining a healthful temperature.
Have no barriers which would preclude ingress or egress if the occupant is handicapped.
10. Meet the Section 8 Housing Quality Standards.
11. Comply with the lead-based paint requirements of 24 C.F.R. Part 35.
12. Meet the requirement of the local existing Housing Code.
Failure to meet any of these criteria automatically causes a dwelling to not be considered "standard."
B. Substandard Condition Suitable for Rehabilitation
A dwelling unit is considered substandard if it does not fully comply with the standard criteria, does not comply with the adopted existing housing code, has minor defects which require a certain amount of correction but can still provide safe and adequate shelter, does not meet the HUD
Section 8 Housing Quality Standards, or has major defects requiring a great deal of correction and will be safe and adequate once repairs are made.
To be suitable for rehabilitation, a trained housing specialist must carefully inspect the dwelling and prepare a work write-up of repairs necessary to bring it up to standard condition. A cost estimate of repairs will be prepared based on the needs identified in the work write-up. If these costs are equal to or less than 75% of the fair market value of a comparable unit in standard condition as obtained from more than one licensed contractor, the dwelling will be considered suitable for rehabilitation. If the predicted cost exceeds 75% of fair market value after completion of the rehabilitation, the unit will be deemed unsuitable.
This criteria is arbitrary, however, and the _____________________________ may authorize deviations based on the unique aspects of each dwelling, owner, tenant, etc. on a case-by-case basis by vote of the Commission. Each deviation so approved must be thoroughly documented.
III. Permanent, Involuntary Displacement
The ____________________ will provide reasonable relocation assistance to persons (families, individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations) displaced (moved permanently and involuntarily) as a result of the use of CDBG/federal assistance to acquire or substantially rehabilitate property. Assistance to displaced persons may include: a) Payment for actual moving and relocation expenses documented by receipts and/or vouchers from service providers and utility companies. The documents shall be submitted prior to the disbursement of payment; b) Advisory services necessary to help in relocating; and c) Financial assistance sufficient to enable the displaced person to lease and occupy a suitable, decent safe and sanitary replacement dwelling where the cost of rent and utilities does not exceed 30 percent of the household gross income of a family earning 80 percent of the median income for the jurisdiction.
A. Provisions for One-for-One Replacement
The ___________________ will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low/moderate-income dwelling units demolished or converted to use other than as low/moderate-income housing as a direct result of activities assisted with funds provided under the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended, and as described in 24 C.F.R. Part 570. Replacement low/moderate-income units may include public housing or existing housing receiving Section 8 project based-assistance. All replacement housing will be provided within three years of the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion and will meet the following requirements:
1. The units will be located within the _______________________
2. The units will meet all applicable _____________________ housing, building, and zoning ordinances and will be in standard, or better condition.
3. The units will be designed to remain low/moderate-income dwelling units for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy (applies to initial tenant only).
4. The units will be sufficient in size and number (functionally equivalent) to house at least the number of occupants who could have been housed in the units that are demolished or converted.
Before obligating or expending CDBG/federal funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the local government will make public and submit to the Florida Department of Community Affairs and/or the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development the following information in writing:
1. A description of the proposed assisted activity.
2. The general location on an area map including approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than low/moderate-income dwelling units.
3. A time schedule for commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion.
4. The general location on a service area map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement units.
5. Identification of the source of funding at the time of submittal and the time frame, location and source for the replacement dwelling unit.
6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will be designed to remain a low/moderate-income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy.
7. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of a unit with a smaller unit is consistent with the housing needs of LMI persons in the jurisdiction.
B. Provisions for Relocation Assistance for Residential Displacement
The __________________ will provide relocation assistance, as described in 24 C.F.R. Part 570, to each low/moderate-income household involuntarily displaced by the demolition of housing or by
4. the conversion of a low/moderate-income dwelling to another use as a direct result of
CDBG/federally assisted activities. Persons that are relocated are entitled to:
1. A choice between actual reasonable moving expenses or a fixed expense and dislocation allowance.
Reimbursement for reasonable and necessary security deposits and credit checks.
Interim living costs.
5. Replacement housing assistance which may include a Section 8 housing voucher/ certificate and referral to assisted units; cash rental assistance to reduce the rent and utility cost or lump sum payment equal to the present value of rental assistance installments to be used toward purchasing an interest in a housing cooperative or mutual housing association for a period up to 60 months (5 years).
Provisions for Non-Residential Relocation
Businesses, non-profit organizations. etc., shall not be relocated unless the move is voluntary, essential to the project from the public review, and the owner waives higher rights under the
Uniform Act, except for the following relocation assistance:
1. Actual moving and reasonable re-establishment expenses not less than _______________ nor more than _________________ equal to a pro rata share for the period of interruption of operations of the annual net earnings. Average annual net earnings are one half of the entity's net earnings before taxes during the two taxable years immediately prior to the taxable year it was displaced.
2. No other benefits will be provided and a signed waiver acknowledging that fact will be required.
Temporary, Voluntary Displacement and Relocation
Persons occupying housing which is to be rehabilitated using CDBG/federal funds must voluntarily agree to inclusion in the program and shall temporarily vacate the housing at the direction of the
County (or its designed agency) in order to facilitate the safe, timely and economical rehabilitation process.
A moving allowance of _________________ will be provided each family unit so displaced. This allowance will be provided in two payments of _________________ each on move out and move back in.
C. The ____________________ may provide a safe, decent and sanitary housing unit for use as temporary relocation housing. The unit shall be available free of charge to temporarily displaced households for the time period authorized by the _____________________ designated agency, generally for the period of rehabilitation construction. Households who occupy the unit shall have a
$75 refundable deposit withheld from their initial moving allowance payment. This deposit shall be refunded in full immediately after the relocation unit is vacated in a clean and undamaged
condition. The deposit refund shall be denied in full or in part for payment of damages to the owner/lessee due to the occupants', (a) failure to properly clean or maintain the unit, (b) physical damage to the unit, (c) loss of keys to the units, or (d) need for any special condition such as fumigation. A $25 per day penalty may also be assessed for the household's failure to properly vacate the relocation unit when directed to do so by the _____________________ designated agency.
D. A storage allowance of up to ____________________ will be provided each family unit displaced if storage is necessary and essential to the move.
E. Insurance cost of up to _______________________ for the replacement value of the household property in connection with the move will be provided each family unit displaced if storage is necessary and essential to the move.
Permanent, Voluntary Displacement and Relocation.
If it is determined by the ___________________ that the occupants of a dwelling should be permanently relocated and the occupants voluntarily consent, the courts will assist in the relocation to a decent, safe and sanitary dwelling unit. Benefits, if provided, will be limited to increases in monthly housing costs incurred by the occupant in an amount equal to the lesser of 60 times the increase or 30 percent of the person's annual income. 24 C.F.R. Part 570 must be consulted to determine specific limitations. Payment of relocation benefits for housing assistance will be spread over 60 months (or 42 months for non-LMI relocatees).
Tenant Assistance Policy/Federal Rental Rehabilitation Program
It is not the local government's policy to displace families in rental units. Participating landlords will be required to warrant that the proposed rehabilitation will not cause any tenant to be permanently displaced unless the owner will be able to relocate the tenant displaced in accordance with HUD relocation criteria. Rehabilitation funds will not be used to rehabilitate the rental units if the rehabilitation will cause the permanent displacement of LMI families.
If it becomes necessary for an owner to temporarily move a tenant from a unit as a direct result of rehabilitation assisted through rental rehabilitation funds, the owners will assure that the tenant is offered a decent, safe and sanitary dwelling unit at an affordable rate as described in the applicable regulations. No tenant will be considered displaced if the owner has offered the tenant a decent, safe, sanitary and affordable unit and the tenant has declined the offer.
Should temporary displacement become necessary for a LMI family as a result of the rental rehabilitation assistance, the owner will assure that tenants are provided the necessary financial assistance, information, counseling, referrals and housing location options regarding Federal Fair
Housing and other relocation services as needed without regard to race, color, religion, sex, familial status, age, handicap, or national origin, so as to enable the family to obtain decent, safe and sanitary housing at an affordable rent.
D. The Housing Authority of the __________________ of ________________ shall provide federal preference to any qualified LMI family subject to relocation. Where Section 8 Housing vouchers are available, such preference will apply.
E. Where required, compensation to obtain replacement housing shall not exceed
$_______________ threshold. Should such projected compensation to the tenant exceed this threshold, consideration shall be given to not performing the demolition rehabilitation which would cause the displacement.
VII. Displacement of Homeowners
When rehabilitation of the dwelling is not feasible or cost effective, demolition of a house with
CDBG/federal funds may be considered only as a voluntary action by the homeowner.
Although homeowners have a right to assistance as previously discussed, CDBG/federal funds available for relocation assistance are limited. Therefore, financial assistance shall not exceed that described in accordance with 49 C.F.R. 24.401 and the regulations under U.S. HUD Handbook 1378.
VIII. Appeals/Counseling
A. If a claim for assistance is denied by the __________________, the claimant may appeal, where applicable to either the State of Florida or U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and their decision shall be final unless a court determines the decision was arbitrary and capricious.
B. Counseling will be provided to displacees in the areas of household finance, fair housing rights, real estate transactions, and locating and evaluating replacement housing options. Counseling shall be provided by the ___________________or its designated agency to permanently ensure that:
1. No person is discriminated against based upon age, race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, or presence of children in the household.
2. Displacees receive information concerning the full range of housing opportunities within the local housing market.

Responding to Donald Trump's threat to impose an additional $100 billion in tariffs on China, Beijing said it did not want a trade war, but was not afraid to "follow suit to the end" to protect its core economic interests.
China "will follow suit to the end" should Washington disrespect its opposition to American "unilateralism and trade protectionism." Beijing would defend the country's interests "at any cost" and won't hesitate to take counter measures.
China also slammed Washington's unilateralism which, it says, undermines global free trade. Meanwhile, the Chinese economy will carry on with reforms and will continue to open up to the world in order to "safeguard the multilateral trading system" and promote the liberalization of global trade and investment, the ministry stated.
Washington and Beijing raised the stakes in the trade spat in late March, when the US introduced a package of tariffs targeting more than 100 types of Chinese goods, from clothing to electronics. In response, China raised levies last week on 128 US imports, with tariffs ranging from 15 to 25 percent.
China's current tax-free and tax-exemption policy "remains unchanged," the finance ministry noted in a statement, adding that the move comes in compliance with rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Announcing the package of tariffs on March 22, Trump said it will help the US reduce trade imbalances with China and curb the theft of American intellectual property. On March 23, Beijing signaled it was ready to go toe-to-toe with Washington's campaign against China, proposing new tariffs on 128 American imports. The news shook global markets, with fears of an imminent trade war between the world's largest economies looming.

I'm running Slacko 5.9.3 or 6.3 and was wondering if there is a Project Management/Planning tool available? I see there is a libreproject package but will it work on Slacko?
I've come across a copy of project libre, it has a .rpm extension. I'm not much beyond a nubie at the intricacies of Puppy, I'm using Slacko 5.9 and 6.3 on different machines.
Can I load a .rpm file onto my machine without problem or are there issues to consider please?
Many pups come with Planner.
Projectlibre is good though, so don't give up on it if Planner isn't enough.
I think people typically install from a debian package, but I don't think there's really any reason not to try an rpm.
I've downloaded planner, I think it will work for our simple needs - Project Tracking in our local Men's Shed.
I'll keep Projectlibre in mind.
If you run into limitations or want to explore another option, I can make you a PET or SFS of "ganttproject-2.7-r1864".

Nets doomed by one of worst trades ever made with Celtics
The deal that was supposed to make the Nets title contenders has and will continue to cripple them moving forward. (Photo: Getty Images)
The Brooklyn Nets have built quite a contender.
Well, it's not their own team that's become a contender, but the Boston Celtics.
Nets fans, who trudged through a 20-62 season, watched in disbelief on Tuesday night as the No. 1 overall pick that should have been theirs was swapped to a team that is currently competing in the Eastern Conference finals.
It all stems back to the offseason prior to the 2013-14 season and a fateful decision to deal their future for a chance to win immediately.
THIS IS THE WAY: amRUSH reaction to The Mandalorian season two finale
amRUSH
https://podcasts.schnepsmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Mando-amRUSH-Mixdown-2.mp3
After posting a 49-33 record during their first year in Brooklyn in 2012-13 and losing in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Nets were looking for something to put them over the top.
What no one told them was that there was nothing available at the time to do that. The Miami Heat's "Big 3" of LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade were fresh off winning their second-straight title and no opponent that wasn't coached by Gregg Popovich was going to stop them.
But the Nets and general manager Billy King thought there was a way to do so. Instead of trying to accrue and develop any kind of young talent, they packaged up their future to try and execute the "win-now" strategy.
For a Celtics team that was burdened with some big contracts heading into the 2013-14 season, it was a no-brainer for them.
Nets got:
Jason Terry
D.J. White
Celtics got:
Gerald Wallace
MarShon Brooks
Kris Joseph
Keith Bogans
2014 1st-round pick
It was a puzzling move even then considering Garnett was 37, Terry was 36 and Pierce was 35 in the final year of his contract. The Nets also absorbed Garnett's and Pierce's contracts, which combined to over $27.7 million that season.
But as key members of the 2008 championship Celtics, there were some that thought they could come in and help develop a winning culture alongside Brook Lopez, Deron Williams and Joe Johnson.
That was once a pretty imposing looking lineup, on paper at least.
Even Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov claimed that the "basketball gods smiled on the Nets," despite the ludicrous haul it took to get Boston to make the deal.
You have to understand, there was excitement generating around a franchise that was devoid of any since its time in New Jersey at the turn of the millennium. And for a basically new franchise looking to put butts in the Barclays Center seats, there were reasons to be impatient.
But Lopez and Williams missed a combined 83 games due to injuries while the team with big egos struggled to click.
Terry wouldn't even last the whole season as he was dealt to the Sacramento Kings for Marcus Thornton.
Brooklyn had a worse regular season than the year before, going 44-38 before none other than the Heat bounced them from the second-round.
Pierce would walk in free agency, signing a two-year deal with the Wizards, while Garnett hung on for another half-season before he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The experiment failed. The Nets had absolutely nothing to show for it and nothing to build on.
Boston, on the other hand, remained diligent through the first half of the decade. They drafted Avery Bradley in 2010 and Marcus Smart in 2014 (the Nets first-round pick that year became James Young at No. 17) and acquired Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder and Kelly Olynyk via trades.
Last offseason, they made a big splash in free agency by bringing in Al Horford and using the first-round pick they acquired from the Nets, which was the No. 3 overall pick after Brooklyn went 21-61, to take Jaylen Brown out of Cal.
Life can't get much better for the Celtics, actually.
They went 53-29 this season and are in the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2012. They are looking at almost $30 million in cap space this summer and to top it all off, they now have the No. 1 pick which they can spend on Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball or any other prospect that tickles their fancies.
Heck, they can even call up the Indiana Pacers or Chicago Bulls and swap it for Paul George or Jimmy Butler.
Brooklyn, a team that is in need of being blown up and pieced back together, has lost out on its largest resource to do so.
With just under $24 million worth of space, they have some cash to flash this offseason, but it will be a difficult sell given the team's 41 combined wins over the past two years.
A No. 1 pick could have helped shift the outlook around the organization and possibly lured in more interest from prospective free agents.
There is an option in trading Lopez, who becomes a free agent at the end of next season. But he has expressed his desire to stay with the team for the long term. If there are doubts, he could be flipped for a few draft picks; something the team desperately needs.
Remember, Boston owns their pick next year, too. So another horrendous season in Brooklyn could be the Celtics' gain and heap further misery on the Nets, who must live with the fact that they pulled the trigger on one of the worst trades in sports history.

God has truly blessed Rick Warren's ministry. He's plump as a fatted calf, he's a multi-millionaire from his book sales, and his congregation is one of the largest in the nation. Like the Dean Martin song says (more or less), if he were any more blessed, he'd be sick.
My only question is, why would God reward the faithfulness of his servants with treasures on earth? He told us not to lay up for ourselves treasures on earth. Y'know—moths, rust, thieves. So why would he himself reward his servants with what he told us not to accrue? It's okay if God gives us treasures on earth, but it's not okay for us to lay up for ourselves treasures on earth? Is that what that verse means? So, the treasures Rick Warren has been laying up for himself in Heaven, like he's supposed to, God is giving part of those treasures to him now as an advance, like an advance from a publisher? I'm confused. If life here on earth is supposed to be like a strait gate and a narrow way, why would God bestow so much treasure on his servants that their way becomes undeniably broad?
I hope Warren preaches a sermon soon about his various treasures on earth to clear this issue up for all of us. And while he's at it, he could also explain God's blessing McCain with so much treasure on earth too. I've just learned that he owns ten very pricey homes. Ten? Ain't that a kick in the cred.
Thank you for contacting me regarding your support for introducing articles of impeachment against President Bush and Vice President Cheney. I appreciate hearing from you and welcome your input.
I share your concern about the policies and actions of President Bush and Vice President Cheney and I am deeply troubled by the potentially precedent-setting expansion of executive power at the cost of our system of coequal branches and the civil liberties guaranteed to all Americans. The Executive Branch is an extraordinarily powerful one; in order for the checks and balances to function properly, both Congress and the Courts must resist an excessive assertion of executive power that is at odds with the interests of the American people or violates the Constitution. Despite the challenges that our nation faces, we must not cast aside the values and ideals that our people have defended for centuries.
The Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution with the intention that no one branch of government should become too powerful. With the oppression of monarchical rule only recently behind them, they sought to prevent the rise of a too-powerful executive by crafting a calibrated system of checks and balances that allows for interplay between the three branches of government. Congress has an important legislative function, but it has an equally vital role in providing oversight and we must continue to aggressively exercise this prerogative.
On the specific remedy of impeachment, the Founding Fathers established a high standard requiring the determination of high crimes and misdemeanors. After witnessing the misguided, destructive and polarizing impeachment of President Clinton, I can well understand why they raised the bar so high. There is no question that the President and Vice President have done a great disservice to the country in many ways, and I am deeply troubled by their views of executive authority and performance in office. We must continue to do vigorous oversight and let the evidence lead us where it may; at the same time, we must not be deterred from the highest imperative of changing our Iraq policy, reversing the Administration's intrusive surveillance policy, meeting the challenge of global climate change, and turning around our ailing economy.
Recently, Rep. Kucinich introduced an article of impeachment against the President (H.Res.1345) on the House floor and requested a vote to refer the legislation to a committee with appropriate jurisdiction. I voted with Rep. Kucinich to refer this legislation to the Judiciary Committee. On July 25, 2008, the House Judiciary Committee, of which I am a member, held an important hearing to probe these matters. The hearing, entitled "Executive Power and Its Constitutional Limitations," included testimony from Rep. Dennis Kucinich who testified about the impeachment articles he has introduced.
At the hearing, I spoke of my deep concerns with the conduct of this Administration and its overreach of constitutional limitations—particularly related to the areas of surveillance, interrogations, and the intelligence used in leading up to the war in Iraq. I used this opportunity to call upon Congress to create a select committee—in the mold of the "Church Committee"—to conduct a comprehensive investigation of activities engaged in by the Executive Branch to determine their impact on the civil liberties of Americans.
The "Church Committee" was established in 1975 in response to abuses during the Nixon Administration. The Committee produced 50,000 pages of documents and published 14 reports—leading to a variety of crucial reforms including the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. I believe that Congress should initiate a similarly robust investigation of Executive Branch abuses to ensure continued Constitutional accountability and to implement necessary reforms.
Please be assured that I will continue to do my part in every other way to ensure that Congress provides a check on the Executive and ensures that the Administration is held accountable for its actions.

Crunch Time, Cabbies and Costs
emeablogger March 30, 2017 EMEA No Comments
And we're off Today marks a pivotal event in the history of the UK. On the face of it, the long-awaited invocation of Article 50 commits the UK to withdraw from the EU by 29 March 2019, although a mutually agreed extension / transitional period remains a distinct possibility. There was a softening of language from Theresa May and her ministers after the official letter was handed to Donald Tusk today. This indicated both increasing pragmatism, and possible areas of compromise. On trade there was a douse of realism as the government appears to be backing away from its threat to leave the EU without a deal, acknowledging it cannot "cherry pick" during Brexit talks. On citizenship, rhetoric has become more conducive to negotiation ("we respect that" was May's response to EU leaders' assertions that Britain cannot stay in the single market without accepting free movement). Regarding the UK's bill to the EU, there is an implied acceptance. Philip Hammond this morning refused to back the conclusion of a House of Lords report stating the UK had no legal obligation to pay the EU after it left. The markets were fairly subdued by lunchtime, likely a result of this more balanced language by ministers. But in the words of chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, this is the first day of a "very long and difficult road".
Sweet spot The Deputy Governor for Monetary Policy last week described our economy as being in a 'sweet spot'. In a speech to Imperial College, Ben Broadbent identified a coincidence of the weakened pound with a lack of actual substance (yet) for its depreciation, as a unique moment for exporters. He attributes the likely principal cause of the fall in sterling to an expectation by the exchange markets of increasing costs of exporting, as opposed to weakening domestic demand. If our negotiations with the EU work out well, then he anticipates a rebound in sterling, although that would then restore the balance of export efficiency. The takeaway – now is a great time for exporters to make short-term investments, but longer-term decisions remain more opaque. A rebound in sterling would, in any event, clearly benefit those international investors who are choosing now as a time to buy into UK real estate.
Generation rent An analysis by Bloomberg shows that more than half of people, in more than half of US cities, now rent as opposed to owning their own homes. Whereas there is a higher rate of home-ownership across the UK, London is a notable exception, largely owing to affordability and housing supply. There are quite wide disparities across Europe, between say Spain 78% and Germany 52%. Whereas renting can be a financially rational decision in some markets, it brings with it societal issues. A Survation poll last year reported that renters were 75% more likely to experience serious anxiety and depression than home-owners; largely on account of instability, and unpredictability of rental costs.
British Summer Time Last weekend the clocks went forward and we are now benefitting from an extra-hour of daylight in the evenings. A study by JPMorgan (2014) suggested that this coincides with a week of increased spending (0.9%), albeit one that is offset by a greater reduction in spending when the clocks go the other way (2.9%). Moving to British Summer Time is also associated with a decrease in accidents and an increase happiness. With outdoor working less prevalent than when the time zones were set, I for one (and presumably many others in the leisure and tourism industries) would support a move to permanent summer time, or even 'double summer time' (as has been proposed). Those in the North of Scotland may well disagree.

Home › Toy, all Metal Cabin Cruiser Boat, Litho, By Ohio Art Co, U.S.A. 1960s
Toy, all Metal Cabin Cruiser Boat, Litho, By Ohio Art Co, U.S.A. 1960s
Toy, All Metal Cabin Cruiser Boat, Litho, Boat #102-F175, Made By Ohio Art Company, Bryan, Ohio, U.S.A, 1960s, Not Opened In Original Sealed Package.
The Ohio Art Company was started in 1908 by Dr Henry S. Winzeler, a dentist in Archbold, Ohio, who sold his practice because he was convinced novelty manufacturing held great promise for him. Renting part of a band hall and employing 15 women, the company was soon shipping picture frames to all parts of the country, as well as Canada and Mexico. The business grew rapidly and Dr Winzeler needed a larger plant.
Through the efforts of local citizens and the Chamber of Commerce, enough money was raised to build a new factory and lure The Ohio Art Company to a new location, Bryan, Ohio. With larger quarters and better shipping facilities, the firm continued to grow. Metal picture frames were being turned out at 20,000 per day. Though many different pictures were being reproduced and framed, by far the most popular was the famous "Cupid Awake" and "Cupid Asleep". More than 50 million sets adorned the walls of American homes in the first half of the 20th century.
Soon after the move to Bryan in 1912, the company installed metal lithography equipment, an addition that would shape the company's future. New items began to appear, advertising signs, scale dials and a few small wagons, representing the beginning of a long and successful run in the toy business.
When WW1 halted the flow of German toys to this country, American manufacturers had a tremendous opportunity to surge forward. Quick to realize this, Dr Winzeler increased his line of toys and toy parts and business boomed. A quality (and very popular) tea set line was introduced, and in 1923, sand pails appeared. In the early 1930s, Ohio Art was one of the very first companies to license a character from Walt Disney for a toy, Steam Boat Willie, the precursor to Mickey Mouse. Other successful early metal lithographed toys included tops, shovels, farmhouses, drums, globes, checker sets and more.
As plastic toys began to replace metal lithographic toys, Ohio Art diversified once again. Soon they had a large portion of the Kodak film canisters business, as well as a very popular novelty signs and tray making operation. Licensing popular brands such as Coca-Cola, Campbell's Soup, Budweiser and Nascar, the Ohio Art lithography business flexed to market demand and continued to flourish.
One of the reasons for the company's success today is its outstanding reputation for quality metal lithography, begun early in the company's history. In addition to toys, the lithography division continues to be recognized for its commitment to innovative, high-quality metal decorating. In fact, Ohio Art has won 16 internationally recognized awards since 1997.

The Golan Heights: a flashpoint coming?
Thread: The Golan Heights: a flashpoint coming?
The value of the State based international order
http://www.stripes.com/news/middle-e...syria-1.300812
Filipino troops pull `greatest escape' from Syria
At one point, Syrian government forces fired artillery rounds from a distance to prevent the Filipino peacekeepers from being overwhelmed, said Col. Roberto Ancan, a Philippine military official who helped monitor the tense standoff from the Philippine capital, Manila, and mobilize support for the besieged troops.
During the siege, the Philippine secretaries of defense and foreign affairs, along with the country's top military brass, gathered in a crisis room at the military headquarters in the capital to communicate with the Filipino forces and help guide them out of danger. The Syrian and Israeli governments, along with the United States and Qatar, provided support, the Philippine military said without elaborating.
The United Nations Disengagement Observer Force, or UNDOF, whose mission is to monitor a 1974 disengagement in the Golan Heights between Israel and Syria,
Looking beyond the local dynamics of these actions, I think this scenario is illustrative of the importance of state governments in maintaining the international order. It was state governments that agreed to a peace, and an international organization that agreed to monitor it, while states agreed to provide forces to implement the agreement.
When state governments are removed by other states and the territories left ungoverned by a recognized state, or a state falls due to rebellion, this results in a dangerous loss of control and limits the ability of other states to reach a negotiated peace agreement, or any agreement, until a recognized state power is established, resulting in protracted conflicts that are seldom in anyone's best interest, especially the people directly effected in the conflict zone. Established and recognized governments should mean more than we like those guys, and that they're considered legitimate with at least some of those governed. The state must have the means to enforce the law within and agreements between states. It sounds like victory to call the post conflict Libya a state with a recognized government, but it was a government in name only. It didn't have sufficient power to control its population and enforce the law. It didn't and still doesn't have the means to control it borders, and the list goes on. What do we imagine Syria will look like if the Assad government falls? A free for all for power, power that will only be able to be established through what the West would deem excessive force? This contributes to regional security, economic development, and human rights in what way?
It is interesting to note that apparently the governments of Syria and Israel cooperated in helping the Filipino peace keepers escape from the rebels. Both Syria and Israel (as states) valued the UN supported settlement enough to see it as a common interest worth protecting, so they cooperated. They're still enemies, but rational enemies. They both had a voice with the UN as state actors enabling an adult conversation that led to tangible action. Non-state actors can behave rationally also, but they like states first need to exert authority and control to the extent needed over their constituents to be able to enforce an agreement.
If stability is in our national interest, we may want to think twice about pushing our democracy crusade onto other states that are not ready for a transition for democracy. Instead, if we insist on crusading, an alternative approach would be to help states slowly prepare their societies for a new form of governance (democracy). Obviously such an approach would be seen as an act of war by what we call rogue states, so creative approaches emphasizing information power in the DIME would have to be the main effort. I really don't think the majority of the world's population desire to live in a stateless world if they actually think through the repercussions not just to their personal interests, but to the interest of humanity writ large.

I agree with this to an extent, but aren't there a range of policies short of "pushing our democracy crusade onto other states"? Yes - states are frequently a source of stability. But they're also frequently a source of instability, and it's not always due to lack of governance or weak institutions. Sometimes it's due to the internal construction and dynamics of the state in question - how it makes policy, who makes policy, and so on. For example, there's a relationship between the method of U.S. elections and the frequency of government shutdowns due to lack of funds. That simply does not happen in some other legislative systems. Regime type and design are relevant to policy preferences and outcomes. Now I think it's a major leap to go from acknowledging that states need reform to pre-empt instability to the U.S. should actively promote it's version of democracy through force of arms.
So - yes - I think the U.S. needs to be pro-active in encouraging and facilitating reform. And yes, I also think the U.S. needs to be careful and deliberate in that process. No more "Operation [Axis of Evil State Name] Liberation" - well, unless there's a good case to be made for it.

Today the UN announced that UNDOF would withdraw to the Israeli side of the disengagement zone, due to the activities of the Syrian regime forces and the rebels (mainly the Al-Nusra Front). Short UN report:http://untribune.com/al-nusra-placed...cles-uniforms/
A far longer UN Secretary-General fifteen page report:https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4XI...Tkk/edit?pli=1
Keeping the peace through deploying an observation mission, with a seperation zone and more between Israel and for a long time its only 'hardline' nation state enemy Syria was seen as essential. UNDOF have been in position since 1974, although stability meant boredom became a problem - even if forty-four soldiers died in forty years (accidents etc -v- hostile action?). More details:http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/missions/undof/
What is curious is that the three main players, Israel, Syrian state and Syrain rebels appear to prefer the UN's role is reduced. One reason is that the UN notice and report the dialogue between the IDF and the rebels, with casualities being treated in Israel and then returned.
The IDF and Syrian regime forces have occassionally exchanged gunfire. There is little sign of a dialogue there.
Watch and wait now.
This article finds that Israel knows there is a danger one day:http://www.stripes.com/news/middle-e...q_sND4.twitter
Actually, Israel has the opportunity to win the hearts of all Syrians...
...Israel stands to lose the popular support it gained among the Syrian population of the Golan Heights because it has been allowing Assad regime aircraft to bomb opposition-held villages near the border in recent days, a Free Syrian Army commander told The Times of Israel on Tuesday, voicing dismay at the West's reluctance to provide the moderate opposition with basic means of self-defense.
In recent days President Bashar Assad's Syrian Army has intensified its airstrikes against villages along the Israeli border, captured by the opposition over the past few weeks. According to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, on Tuesday regime aircraft bombarded Syrian villages in the northern and central Golan Heights, including Ovania, Jubata al-Khashab, Turnejeh, Bir Ajam, Masharah and al-Breiqa.
Some of those villages are located within the buffer zone along the border with Israel, where no Syrian military presence is allowed under the Agreement on Disengagement between Israel and Syria of May 1974, signed following the Yom Kippur War. Syrian oppositionists in the area have said that Israel's reluctance to enforce the agreement against the regime's army is tantamount to collaborating with Assad against the opposition.
... and is doing its best to miss that opportunity.
But then, why make peace, when wars are so much more profitable (for Israel)?
95% of the border is rebel-controlled
A senior IDF officer serving on the Golan Heights told correspondents that the with the exception of Mt. Hermon, 95% of the border between Israel and Syria was controlled by various rebel groups. The dominant group is the Al-Nusra Front, which conquered the region of Quneitra two months ago (Haaretz.co.il, September 22, 2014).

Treating the wounded: relationship building?
The first episode in a Vice News film report on the strange relationship underway on the Golan Heights, between the IDF and armed factions in Syria:https://news.vice.com/video/the-war-next-door-part-1
I missed the numbers involved, the casualties are 90% male; awhile ago I recall pregnant women were sometimes crossing the border to give birth.
There is a written article too; within there is this statistic on the UN presence:
As of early November, only 929 troops from Fiji, India, Ireland, Nepal, and the Netherlands remain.

As the civil war and multiple factions near Druze villages on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, there is the possibility of a new aspect:
For its part, the Israeli government is stressing that it does not want to get involved in the Syrian civil war; at the same time Israel is warning combatants on the Syria side it will not permit a massacre of Druze on the border and will aid refugees if necessary.
Link:http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/...d4c_story.html
Note the "kith & kin" aspect:
The 170,000 Druze living in Israel, most of them citizens and including many active Israeli soldiers and veterans, warn that any day now besieged Druze towns on the Syrian side will be stormed by rebels battling to topple Bashar al-Assad.
Treating the wounded: relationship ends?
the IDF Central Command have changed their stance and refused to treat Jabhat Al-Nusra's fighters in order to ease tensions with the Druze communities in the Golan Heights:
The change took place a month after Israeli Druze ambushed wounded Syrian rebels being transported in IDF ambulances, killing one of the men. Five members of the Druze community were later arrested on suspicion of murder.

Moderator's pointer
I do recall some reporting on the ISIS presence on the Golan Heights and over Xmas some local reports, with a dose of speculation, that a direct clash was coming.

Hiding from the Dreaded Burrito Gang
Let's raise the ante on this game.
BEIRUT – A military bases race is underway between Russia and the U.S. as each nation seeks to expand its presence in Syria and counter asymmetric threats.
The U.S. has a military presence in several key locations, but there are two areas with heavy U.S. troop presence that are being transformed to military bases, according to a military source: The first is located in Al Tabaqah near Al Raqqa north Syria, where the U.S. special forces troops are training Kurdish groups; the other is constructed in Al-Tanf where the U.S. troops prevent Syrian and Russian armed forces from crossing.
Al Tabaqah was a Syrian military air base before revolts ended the hold. U.S. also has special operations forces along the Jordan- Iraq- Syria borders in Al Tanf, a crossing where Syrian revolt groups are trained. The U.S. military presence in Deir Ezzour and in Al Tanf have "sandwiched" this area, impairing Iran's efforts to build the bridge connecting Iran with the Mediterranean.
By comparison, Russia has two permanent military bases in Syria – an air base in Hmeimim and a naval base in Tartous.

Hamas Political Bureau Member Salah Al-Bardawil said that of the 62 people killed in clashes along the Gaza border on May 14, 50 were from Hamas. Al-Bardawil, speaking on May 16 on Baladna TV, which broadcasts from Gaza, stressed that this was the official figure.
Interviewer: "Many people are saying that the children... I'm telling you what people are saying. It's not that I believe this. People are saying that children are dying and that Hamas is reaping the fruits."
Salah Al-Bardawil: "In the last round, there were 62 martyrs."
Interviewer: "Right."
Salah Al-Bardawil: "50 of the martyrs were from Hamas, and the other 12 were regular people. So how can anyone claim that Hamas is reaping the fruits, when it paid such a steep price? What did Hamas gain? 50 martyrs..."

Finally, although Beauty is at first, in repulse of the…...

You never expect your child or yourself to be hurt while playing your favorite sport. These things aren't planned, and it can happen in the blink of an eye. A ball, elbow, puck to the mouth can leave you or your child with fewer teeth than you started out with. Even with non-contact sports, any impact to the front of your face can leave you with one or more fractured teeth, or even knock out a tooth or two. Injuries to the mouth and teeth can cause lasting damage and require extensive dental or medical treatment.
Unless you wear a mouth guard that was created specifically for you, you put yourself or your child in danger of damage to teeth and even the jaw.
There are several types of mouthguards or mouth protectors you can purchase without going to your dentist. When you purchase one of these types of mouth guards, you may feel that your teeth and mouth are safe from a stray ball or elbow. Unfortunately, this is usually far from the truth.
Some store purchased mouth guards may be better than nothing – but none will provide the same amount of protection that a custom mouth guard made by your dentist will give.
A stock mouth protector is one that is ready-to-wear. They are inexpensive and you can find them at most sporting goods stores. A stock mouth protector may cost less but they will not offer much protection. Since one size does not fit all – you or your children won't benefit much from this type of protector.
The boil and bite type of mouth protector can be picked up at most sporting goods stores. They are made of plastic that softens in hot water. When the plastic is soft, it can be shaped around the teeth by pressing firmly with your fingers and tongue. This type of mouth guard will give some protection but not nearly enough to keep your teeth safe from a serious impact.
A custom-fitted mouthguard will give you or your child the most protection. To have a custom fitted mouth guard you will visit your dentist at Oso Marguerite Dental will make an impression of your teeth and mouth. The impression is then sent to a lab where a custom-fitted mouth guard will be made. A custom fitted mouth protector will be more comfortable than the boil and bite or stock mouth protector and will provide the most protection of the mouth and teeth.
When you or your child have a custom fitted mouth guard you will have the peace of mind that you are well protected. It is worth the extra cost to have a custom fitted mouth guard – and in the long run, may save you thousands in dental work needed following an injury.
