KOAT-TV in New Mexico has removed an ad sponsored by the liberal environmental group Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund. The ad began airing last Thursday, and similar to 2008, its target is former Congressman Steve Pearce (R-NM). The TV station acted after receiving documentation that many accusations in the ad were false. According to the group New Mexico Watchdog: "The ad cited a report by CREW, which later admitted it botched its investigation. Continue reading

In Court Today: Environmentalists Sue Obama Administration
In Court Today: Environmentalists Sue Obama Administration by Gregory Hilton —
The major environmental groups howled when George W. Bush removed more than 1,650 gray wolves in Montana and Idaho from the endangered species list in May 2008. They said Bush wanted to eradicate all wolves, was cruel to animals and "the decision demonstrates why he is the worst environmental president in history."
The Bush action was prominently featured in literature last year advocating the election of Barack Obama. It was not surprising when Bush's decision was suspended during Obama's first week in office under a broad directive by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
The radical environmentalists cheered their victory, but what they did not realize was that Obama would appoint former Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) as Secretary of the Interior. He is a rancher and a lifetime member of the Cattlemen's Association who is familiar with the damage caused by wolves.
On March 6th of this year Secretary Salazar supported the Bush Administration's edict regarding wolves. Salazar supported the unanimous recommendation of Fish and Wildlife Service scientists in backing the Bush policy, and said "This was a decision based on science." Rep. Norm Dicks (D-WA) preferred a decision based on politics. He organized a Congressional letter of protest that was sent to the White House. Dicks said "I just don't see what this does for us. Here we are alienating people who did the most — who did a lot to help us in the last election."
Management of the animals now lies with the states, and for the first time in three decades both Montana and Idaho have planned wolf hunts this fall. The Fish and Games Departments in both states had previous written to the other 48 states asking if they would be able to manage wolves. Idaho and Montana offered to capture and transport the wolves free of charge, but no one has expressed an interest.
A coalition of 13 environmental groups has asked U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy to stop the hunts and put wolves back on the endangered species list. The groups include the Sierra Club, Defenders of Wildlife, Friends of the Earth, PETA and the Natural Resources Defense Council. A hearing is scheduled today – the same day wolf hunting permits go on sale in Montana.
Montana's wolf season calls for a harvest of 75 animals, while Idaho is allowing 220. Wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park some 15 years ago, and their numbers grow by about 20 percent a year. Several years ago wolves reached the population threshold and other milestones federal officials set as requirements to remove them from the federal endangered species list.
For the past 14 years the residents of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming have stood by as deer, elk and moose populations have been decimated. Ranchers could not do anything when their lively hood was eaten before their eyes. As usual, the environmental lobby is completely distorting the situation. The Defenders of Wildlife have established a http://www.savewolves.org website with a video narrated by Ashley Judd. Wolves are portrayed a cute and cuddly creatures similar to dogs. Of course they do not mention the reasons for the Bush/Obama policy and they offer no management program of their own. They want you to believe that the only reason for the policy is to allow innocent wolves to be used as target practice by aggressive hunters.
No one is trying to eradicate wolves. These states have monitored hunting seasons, and they do not allow wolves to be killed out of season. For some reason the environmentalists have made a poster child out of the wolf, but once again, they are completely ignoring other species such as elk, moose, deer, sheep and cows.
The environmental groups claim wolves are beneficial to the elk population but the statistics do not support that claim. A 2008 study conducted by Montana State University of Yellowstone's Northern Range demonstrates wolves are responsible for a 67% decline in the elk population. The highlights are as follows:
The Elk population in 1993 –1995 averaged between 17,000 and 19,000
•Wolves were re-introduced in 1995
•Elk numbers 2005 –2007 Averaged between 6,300 and 6,700
Ed Bangs, the Fish and Wildlife Service's wolf recovery coordinator for the northwestern United States, told the Associated Press last week that gray wolves will be able to withstand regulated hunting in Idaho and Montana because the states have pledged to maintain a strong wolf population, and the animals will be able to migrate and interbreed with thousands of gray wolves in Canada. "Right now the wolf population is highly diverse. We've done as much as we can," Bangs said. "The science is absolutely rock-solid."
The voice of many frustrated ranchers was expressed in this letter to the Department of the Interior.
"Dear Secretary Salazar:
Thank you for making the right decision on wolves, and I am so pleased a western rancher such as your self is now in office. As you well know, wolves kill cows, sheep, coyotes, elk, deer, moose and other animals that are otherwise healthy, without need. They will kill whatever they can, and then move on, making a new kill every chance they get.
These environmental groups would have a different attitude if they spent time working, eating, sleeping and breathing with a herd of cattle or a band of sheep.
"I wish they would spend a year feeding the mothers, and bringing the babies into this world during the cold days and dark nights. We then spend our days keeping them fed and healthy. It is very frustrating to see them not killed for food, but torn to bits and left to slowly die just so a pack of wolf pups can play and learn to hunt. If one of these environmentalists was a western rancher they would have a different attitude. I don't hunt much anymore, but I do help put food on the tables of the world."
Cap and Trade Appears to be Dead
The August recess has had a major impact and 15 Democratic Senators are now on record against cap and trade. 60 votes are needed for passage but they only have 45. The deadline set by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is September 28th, and while the White House will not admit it is over, there is now no way the Senate will accept the economy killing measure which has been passed by the House.
Senator Reid reaffirmed today that a vote will be held in September. The Senate is likely to pass legislation requiring the use of renewable energy, but not cap and trade. Now our electrical bills will not be increased 80%. Cap and trade would have been a great issue to use in the 2010 campaign, but none of us would have wanted to see the economic damage when we are still in a recession. The Republicans stayed united and the victory would not have been possible without the moderate Democrats.
It is always good to be cautious and many Democrats are saying the energy bill should be split with cap and trade being addressed in the next session. The liberals appear to know cap and trade is already dead in this session.
Josh Nelson wrote in the Huffington Post, "President Obama is well on his way to squandering the best political environment we have ever had, without using an ounce of political capital to improve the legislation." Joe Klein in Time said, "the Waxman-Markey energy bill passed by the House is an excellent candidate for euthanasia. It is a demonstration of all that's wrong with the legislative process."
Where is the Environmental Lobby?
Where is the Environmental Lobby? By Gregory Hilton–
A strange silence has descended over the nation's environmental lobby. Their conduct is similar to what has already happened to the anti-war lobby. Two years ago "peace activists" were livid when a 21,000 troop surge for Iraq was announced, and massive demonstrations were held in all major cities. They said the surge would lead to the death of innocent civilians.
Two months ago President Obama initiated a 21,000 troop surge in Afghanistan, and a week ago today over 120 innocent civilians were killed in a U.S. drone attack. Hardly anyone has made a comment.
The environmental lobby is also silent. They had a major role in the 2008 campaign, and they have an effective grassroots network. These activists were out in force last year and they were expressing outrage about the plight of the polar bear.
There favorite target was Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) who did not want polar bears listed under the Endangered Species Act. Greenpeace said Palin's position was "putting the polar bear at risk of extinction." MSNBC said the GOP candidate was "covering up evidence that polar bears are endangered." The Defenders of Wildlife spent $300,000 on TV commercials denouncing Palin's attitude toward the bears.
On September 26, 2008, 61 Nobel laureates announced their endorsement of Barack Obama, and many of the questions they received concerned Palin and polar bears. They said the Governor's position would "lead to more polar bears dying of starvation and drowning, and more being killed by wealthy trophy hunters. As governor, she has been a disaster for polar bears and other wildlife." It was interesting that many of the people leading the campaign for the polar bears had never visited Alaska.
Now the Obama Administration agrees with Palin. Last week Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, the former Democratic Senator from Colorado, said "the Endangered Species Act is not the proper mechanism for controlling our nation's carbon emissions." That is the exact same position as the Bush administration and Governor Palin.
Palin responded to the announcement by saying "This is a clear victory for Alaska. We all want to preserve and protect the polar bear using the best possible tools, but there is absolutely no need to change the rule to accomplish this purpose. I want to thank Secretary Salazar for his careful review of the science and the administrative record that led to this decision."
Former White House press secretary Dana Perino also noted the absence of the environmental lobby. She noted the Obama administration has:
"decided to keep President Bush's policy on polar bears. Well now. I remember what happened when we made our announcement after all of the thoughtful consideration that was given to the decision. But if you read the clips today, you'd think we had announced two completely different things.
"For example, where is the outrage and the letters from Senator Boxer and Congressman Waxman decrying the Friday afternoon release, calling for investigations and alleging manipulation of the science and the law? Where are the press releases and lawsuits from the environmental groups? Where are the two people who dressed up as polar bears and crashed Sen. Kempthorne's press conference?
"Where are the breathless and indignant above-the-fold, page one newspaper stories? And the cute photos of the polar bears standing on floating ice floes? Where are the pointed allegations of "rollback" on the cable news scrolls? Where is the bluster and the cynical barbs from the talking heads?
"And where is former Vice President Al Gore unleashing his caricature of righteous indignation and moral condemnation of this offense against nature? Barring all that, where is the explicit acknowledgment that President Bush must have gotten the policy right?"
Mr. Gore: Apology Accepted
Commentary By Gregory Hilton
Many articles have questioned the scientific data used to promote the global warming theory. Respected experts are on both sides of this debate, but it is still surprising to see such a strong anti-global warming article on the premier liberal website Huffington Post (below). Also surprising are the significant number of Huffington Post readers who agreed with the author. It will be very difficult for the Obama Administration to deal with a global economic crisis as well as an expensive program to combat global warming. My guess is that global warming proposals will be pushed to the back burner.
One reason for this is because global sea ice levels are now the same as in 1979. Earlier this year, predictions were rife that the North Pole could melt entirely in 2008. Instead, the Arctic ice saw a substantial recovery. In May, concerns over disappearing sea ice led the U.S. to officially list the polar bear a threatened species, over objections from experts who claimed the animal's numbers were increasing. The bears have been increasing in population during the past few years and are now at optimum levels. Polar bear numbers are much higher than they were 30 years ago.
Of the 19 different bear populations, almost all are increasing or at optimum levels, only two have for local reasons modestly declined. World governments are being asked to spend trillions of dollars to combat global warming when there is still serious scientific debate about its causes. We are told that we must do this for the safety of the planet. Well what exactly is "safe"? There were over 34,000 automobile fatalities in the U.S. last year. It would be much safer if we got rid of all automobiles. This saving of 34,000 lives a year in America alone would be significant. Many people say that if we only save one life the effort is worth it. Do we really want to go back to walk or riding horses? It is also true that horses killed more people than cars.
"Safe" is a red herring. Safe is not disrupting the economies of the industrialized world to solve a problem that may not exist. Sea levels were hundreds of feet above where they are now millions of years before humans existed. Why do we insist that they must not rise above where they are now?

While the Houston Dynamo have some work to do in order to move back into playoff position, their task doesn't seem as daunting as the one the Chicago Fire face.
Looking to rebound from their most recent defeat, the Dynamo hope to continue their home success over a Fire side that has not won on the road in well more than a year.
Houston (9-10-3) enters the weekend's matchday one point below the playoff line in the Western Conference. That's because the Dynamo are just 3-9-2 since opening the season 6-1-1.
After snapping an eight-game road losing streak with a 3-1 victory at Toronto FC on July 20, Houston took another step back on a 1-0 home loss to Seattle last weekend. It was Houston's second straight home defeat after going the first 10 there without a loss, and the second in three overall games that it did not score.
Though Houston coach Wilmer Cabrera thought Seattle's goal in the 59th minute was preceded by a Sounders' foul, he also understands his side has probably not done much to warrant many breaks from the referee or otherwise.
"Now, we need to focus on no mistakes," he told the MLS official website. "Zero mistakes … We cannot make one mistake."
It's also because scoring goals has been an issue of late for the Dynamo, who have just 12 in their last 11 league games. The good news for Houston is that forward Alberth Elis (seven goals) should be available after serving a two-game suspension.
It also might help that Dynamo are 6-0-4 at home against Chicago since losing the first two matches the teams ever played there back in 2006 and 2007. The Fire (5-10-9), second-to-last in the East table, are a stunning 0-17-6 on the road since winning at Orlando City on May 26, 2018.
It's Chicago's longest MLS road stretch without a win since the remarkable 0-27-9 rut that spanned the 2014, '15 and '16 seasons. The Fire, who have been outscored 8-1 during their current four-game MLS road losing streak, have also been blanked in their last two contests while amid an 0-3-2 overall stretch since winning 5-1 over Atlanta United FC on July 3.
Chicago did manage a point, however, in a scoreless draw with D.C. United last weekend at home.
"We kept a clean sheet in the back, and that's always something to build on," veteran defender and Chicago newcomer Jonathan Bornstein told the Fire's broadcast after his team debut against United. "But, we really need our points right now. "
Chicago's C.J. Sapong has just one of his team-leading nine goals over his last five contests.

'Synthetic' Basket Opens Avenue to Bet Against Chinese Stocks
Several American financial companies are devising customized products to circumvent regulations and short Chinese stocks, as coronavirus fears continue to roil the markets.
Although costs tend to be prohibitive when looking to bet against China's enormous equity market, researchers have packaged up around 40 US stocks that are heavily exposed to the Chinese market, in a product that reflects the CSI 300 benchmark. The index has an overall market capitalization topping $4.5tn.
London firm Quant Insight calculated the cost of lending Chinese stocks for short selling can cost more than 10 percent of the equities' yearly value, whereas a custom solution can cost around 2 percent.
Goldman Sachs has also included the index in its online offering, allowing clients to buy derivatives which are classed as total return swaps.
Mahmood Noorani, the head of Quant Insight, said Chinese equities are "eye-wateringly expensive" to short directly. The solution addresses "a clear pain point" for global investors, he told media.
There are clear advantages for both investors wanting to make more detailed or specialist bets, and the banks who will earn higher fees for offering such tailored products.
Hedge funds wanting to bet on Italy's economic fate, but without exposing themselves to the Milan stock market's US exposure, a bespoke, "synthetic" product would allow them that opportunity.
The Chinese equities market is attracting increasing investor attention due to its further integration into global indices and its increasing size, along with the impact of the coronavirus, which has sent China's market, along with several others, into freefall.
Since January, the CSI has taken a kicking and plummeted about 5 percent.
"The virus will probably result in a big hit to China's economy in the first quarter, and the longer it goes on, the more likely it is to have knock-on effects to the global supply chain," said Evan Brown, head of multi-asset strategy at UBS Asset Management.
Asset managers have long lobbied for Beijing to make it easier to short domestic stocks, as they see it as a crucial component of a modern, efficient market by allowing investors to also protect their holdings against falls, something known as hedging.
Short selling is legal in China, but Beijing restricted stock lending to only the biggest companies in 2015 after a bout of market turbulence that the authorities said was exacerbated by those placing negative bets.
Investors can also short the entire market using futures, but this too can be costly given investors have to "roll" into new futures contracts once the old ones expire. "There are often structural impediments in capital markets, but this product solves an issue," said Nicholas Gelber, a managing director at Goldman Sachs' synthetic products desk. "There are other ways to express a view on China, but it comes down to all-in costs."

Myocardial Injury pp 509-518 | Cite as
A Molecular Biologic Approach to Cardiac Toxicology
- Citations

Molecular biology seeks to depict biological function in terms of discrete events, individually accessible to biochemical study. With the myocardial cell this approach has had some success. The affinity of receptors for a variety of drugs, the ionic basis for signal transmission across the sarcolemmal membrane, and the enzymatic components of the various membranes that control internal calcium, have been studied and provide a rationale for at least some of the reversible, pharmacologically induced dysfunctions that represent the side effects of conventional drugs on this cell. This symposium, however, deals largely with chemical agents which initiate sequences of incompletely understood events that lead ultimately to irreversible tissue damage and cell death. Among these effects, the myocardial necrosis produced by suprapharmacological concentrations of isoproterenol has been of special interest because its production may have some elements in common with infarction or ischemic damage and because it induces resistance to further chemical damage.

PA Spotlight
As seen in our newsletter
Toni Graham, PA-C
Toni Graham, PA-C
Our spotlight is on Toni Graham, a certified Physician Assistant who has touched the lives of countless patients in southern West Virginia and who has been a longtime advocate for Physician Assistants and our state organization.
Toni was introduced to the PA profession in 1970. Her father had been a World War II medic and her neighbor was a Vietnam veteran, who worked for a Charleston ENT group as a first assistant, despite his only background being a battlefield medic. Her mother, a well-read woman who had heard about the Physician Assistant career from Dr. Jim Daddysman, first suggested the career to Toni. Although the death of Toni's father in her senior year of high school cast doubt on the likelihood of her attending college, her parents had always been adamant that having a college degree would lead to a brighter future.
Ultimately, Toni attended the PA Program at Alderson-Broaddus University due to a generous scholarship. She was in the 4th cohort entering in 1971 and was in the first class that accepted only a few students with a high school education and no experience. Their class of 32 included 23 men and 9 women. One-third of the class had been medical corpsmen in Vietnam, one-third had some prior medical experience such as serving as an OR/ER technician or nursing aide, and one-third of the class had no experience at all.
Toni admits to feeling intimidated by the ex-medics in her cohort at first, but states that together the students bonded as they faced the uncertainty of their own abilities as well as the uncertainty of the newly formed PA profession. Her first experience testifying before a state legislative committee came in 1976, during a hearing regarding proposed regulations to prohibit PAs from looking into an orfice.
Toni's first job was in family practice with Dr. Margaret Staggers (Wells), before returning to Alderson-Broaddus for a year of a post-graduate rotating internship and teaching as an instructor in the PA program. In 1978, Toni was recruited by Craig Robinson, an organizer for rural clinics promoted by the UMWA. She worked with Dr. Daniel Doyle in a renovated garage that would eventually become New River Health Association.
As one of only a handful of Physician Assistants in southern West Virginia, and as a rural health practitioner, Toni soon realized the need for prescriptive privileges for PAs in the state. In 1982, she represented the WVAPA in Washington DC before the American Academy of Physician Assistants board. She convinced the AAPA to grant $5,000 to WVAPA to help develop legislation for prescriptive privileges. Under the guidance of WVAPA President Tom Harward, Toni and her fellow PA Laura Miller registered to be lobbyists. Through their successful lobbying (sometimes with their children in tow), the PA prescriptive privileges bill passed and was signed into law in 1983 by Governor John D. Rockefeller.
As New River Health Association grew, Toni began doing more Women's Health duties. This led to her work with Dr. Marcia Khalil, a solo-practice OB/GYN physician, in 1987. Together, Toni and Dr. Khalil joined a larger OB/GYN practice in 2001, which later became part of the Access Health organization. Toni states that her background in primary care and prevention served as a mainstay in her patient care. Well visits were always an opportunity to review the patient's general medical care, and reinforce the importance of self-education. Many of Toni's patients didn't have a primary care provider, so it was common for her to uncover serious issues that needed further evaluation. She also relates that she always enjoyed seeing families—after 44 years of practice, it was not unusual for her to see a patient whose grandparents were young when she first met them.
Since retiring from active clinical practice in March 2019, Toni has enjoyed time with her children and grandchildren, as well as catching up on some long-overdue home projects, travelling, and reading. She states she still enjoys trying to keep up to date with new medical advancements. Toni expresses sincere gratitude to the educators, mentors, and patients who have all played a role in her long and productive career as a Physician Assistant. She states that she feels a tremendous sense of pride in the young PAs who are playing an important role in the growth of WVAPA and the PA profession across the country.

You may notice a few things in your skin that lead you to suspect you have thin skin, and you could be so right… and it's way more common than you think!
Have you been getting way more bruises usual? And have you noticed that it takes way less than it once did to actually get a bruise? Does your skin tear really easily? Have you been noticing veins that you never used to before?
Well then, you've probably got thin skin, and you're very much not alone. While the concept of thin skin may sound kind of strange, it's actually really common, and something many of us will experience at some stage of our lives – albeit at varying degrees. But before you get weirded out, let's take a look at exactly what thin skin entails, and how you can combat it…
Thin skin? Is this what I think it is?
Well yes, probably – the name tells us exactly what it is. Thin or fragile skin is skin that often tears, bruises or even breaks really easily, and you can often see loads of your veins and – in severe cases – even some tendons or bones (although this is much less common).
Simple enough, but why does this happen?
As we most things skin related, we mostly have the process of ageing to thank for this. The dermis layer of the skin is made up of all those great things that keep your skin plump, full, flexible, and youthful, like collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, and because our bodies produce less and less of these as we get older, the dermis layer gets thinner and thinner. Because of this, there is less 'padding', which results in your skin bruising and tearing more than it once did, but it also ultimately starts to 'crepe' and sag.
Ask All4Women: Dr Lawn answers your most common questions about skincare ingredients
So, we have ageing to thank for thin skin?
For the most part, yes. Collagen is the main building block in the skin to plump up the skin and prevent wrinkles and sagging, so the less we have of it, the more we will see the effects of ageing. Genetics will also determine how predisposed you are to thin skin and the overall ageing process, and that, unfortunately, none of us can help. But there are other factors too…
Other factors? Tell me more…
Another big contributor to thin skin is (you probably guessed it) the sun. We all know that the sun accelerates the ageing process, causing wrinkles, sagging, age spots and the like, and thin skin is a big result, too. You'll probably notice this on your hands more than anywhere else. Not drinking enough water and long-term exposure to certain medications can also be contributing factors.
Is there anything I can do to help my thin skin?
Of course! Sunblock and drinking plenty water are the first and easiest remedies, as is keeping your skin moisturised and not over-exfoliating or over-using harsh products on your skin. You'll need to consult a professional, but using a retinol product and treatments like micro-needling also help, as do dermal fillers.

The supply of 500 mmcfd Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) into the national grid will start from Chattogram today.
Talking to UNB, Petrobangla officials expressed hope that the supply of 500 mmcfd (million cubic feet per day) LNG gas will bring a positive impact on country's gas sector.
Along with the increased gas flow, fertiliser and electricity production will also be increased not only in Chattogram but also in Dhaka, they said.
A senior Petrobangla official said earlier the supply of 500 mmcfd LNG was started in August on a pilot basis. But the gas could not be supplied fully due to technical glitches.
Besides, the supply was hampered as a consignment of gas did not reach Bangladesh from Oman on time.
Later, highest 330 mmcfd gas was supplied per day in the last six months, said Khair Ahmed Majumder, managing director of Karnaphuli Gas Distribution Company Limited.
As a consignment of imported LNG from Qatar arrived recently, the authorities decided to start supply of 500 mmcf LNG gas from Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) set up at Moheshkhali.
Keeping 320-30 mmcfd for Chattogram, the rest gas will be supplied to Dhaka, said the official.

Hey Czar! Call Me! Please!
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
It's March 2009 and Steven Rattner has arrived in Washington to lead the Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry. He is the main man in the administration's effort to save failing auto makers GM and Chrysler.
Those must have been heady days for Rattner, a former investment banker. He received dozens of "please call" messages per day for several months. Reporters resorted to mendicancy to get interviews. Some of the wealthiest investors in America pleaded with him for a few minutes of his time. In the end, the adulation proved as fickle as a Washington party hostess. Five months into the job, Rattner resigned under a cloud stirred up by Andrew Cuomo, New York's attorney general, who was probing a pay-to-play scandal involving a New York State public-employee pension plan. Rattner's former firm, Quadrangle Group, had to pay New York and the Securities and Exchange Commission $12 million in fines. His colleagues alleged Rattner in 2004 paid $1.1 million to a political operative in return for a $100 million investment in one of Quadrangle's private-equity funds, conduct they described as "inappropriate, unethical and wrong," according to press reports. Rattner maintains his innocence and reportedly is fighting an SEC move to ban him from the securities industry for three years.
I have redacted copies of messages left for him by callers, which I obtained from the Treasury Department in response to a Freedom of Information Act request for expense vouchers. The bureaucratic logic of sending me a list of messages as opposed to a list of restaurant tabs escapes me. Nevertheless, they possess archeological attributes, enabling me to partially reconstruct days in the life of one of President Obama's most important political appointees—the man charged with saving America's floundering auto industry.
Imagine it's Friday, March 13, 2009, a few days into the job, and you are Rattner's assistant. The phone rings and on the other end is Wall Street Journal reporter Monica Langley. (The Journal is owned by News Corp., which also owns Barron's.) You note for the boss that she "would like to take you to breakfast or lunch next week if you are able to swing it. Also wants to invite you to the White House Correspondents Dinner as a guest of the WSJ…She also wants to talk to you for a story she's doing." Three days later, it is former Time Magazine columnist Margaret Carlson, who now writes for Bloomberg: "Please, please, please do Al Hunt's show." Apparently Rattner accepted, because Eric Wagner from Hunt's office leaves a message some days later: "Since they have no clear file footage of you to use to illustrate our stories on the autos task force, they would like to have their cameraman tape you when you walk into their office. Basically a quick walking shot."
Then there are never-ending calls from the big-money people: Steve Feinberg, the founder of Cerberus, which owns Chrysler, March 10: "Please call." TPG Capital founder David Bonderman, who wound up on the GM board, March 12: "Please call." Rick Wagoner, GM's doomed CEO, March 16: "Calling to schedule a private meeting with Rick and Fritz as per your request." Lawyer Jamie Gorelick, March 24: "Following up on Carol Browner's call to set up a mtg regarding the sale of the Hummer division of GM." Daily there are calls from Treasury officials and members of Congress—and, on March 26, for the first time, from Ed Whitacre: "RYC," which I gather means "Returned Your Call."
Whitacre would end up running a government-owned General Motors. The same day, you note "David Axelrod" and his phone number in the West Wing, where he advises President Obama. Something clearly is up. Then, Sunday, May 29, 2009, Obama forces Wagoner out at GM. On Monday, the president demands GM and Chrysler produce "better business plans" in 60 days as a condition of continued federal support. Obama adds that it isn't his intention that the government will operate GM and Chrysler. Phone messages come fast and furious. There are calls from Lori Beecher, Katie Couric's producer at the CBS Evening News; a call from United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger: "RYC. Please call on cell."
Beginning with April 3, the records show more redactions from a censor at Treasury. A bureaucrat decided these messages are not responsive to my FOIA request. Left unredacted are calls from reporters, from the New York Times editorial board, and a call about a scheduled dinner with Washington Post scion Donald Graham. Mack McLarty, the former Clinton chief of staff, calls April 21. He owns interest in six Chrysler dealerships. Chrysler on May 14 would announce its officials' decision to close 789 dealerships as part of its bankruptcy reorganization. McLarty's dealerships would escape the ax.
McLarty, whose family has owned car dealerhips since 1921, denies he spoke about his own business interests with Rattner during a 15-to-20-minute conversation. "I called to give him my best views of the industry and to make him understand the importance of the dealer body as an industry stakeholder," he told me Thursday. Rattner told him that the government wasn't going to become involved with dealership issues, he recalled.
The five months of messages are peppered with the famous and infamous: Jamie Dimon, Michigan Democratic Rep. John Dingell, Mike Milken, Larry Summers, Dick Fuld, Eliot Spitzer, Jack Welch, Lee Iacocca, Carl Icahn and Ralph Nader.
And there are calls from investors. One man claimed he built a "ceaselessly repeating electrical system" and asked Rattner to apprise the president of the scientific breakthrough. Rattner's last message came at 4 p.m., July 24, from Michigan Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow: "She's available at this number until 4:30 today. Otherwise, please call on Monday."

Northern California's second-largest Pride event celebrates its 10th anniversary, and Comcast is proud to have participated in the parade celebrating with the East Bay community.
Oakland Pride takes place in one of the most diverse cities in the country, setting it apart from other Pride festivities. Nearly every ethnic group is represented in the city–making Oakland one of the top five diverse major cities in the nation. In fact, according to the latest U.S. Census data, Oakland has the third-highest concentration of gay and lesbian residents in the country and is home to the third-highest concentration of lesbian residents. Oakland Pride seeks to uplift the culture and diversity of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer and others (LGBTQ+) community in Oakland and the greater East Bay.
On Sunday, September 8th, the festivities started early at the Seventh Annual Pride Breakfast, co-founded by Comcast Government Affairs Director Kenneth Maxey, and hosted by the East Bay Stonewall Democratic Club and Comcast. In front of a group of 200 LGBTQ+ leaders, Comcast California Vice President of External Affairs, Beth Hester, shared her personal journey of coming out and how it empowered her life and professional career. "I realized there was real power in being seen. We all have that power every day to be seen as our whole selves, to see others as they chose to be seen, and to fight bias, misconception, and hate," Hester said.
At the parade, waving to cheering crowds along the Broadway parade route, the Comcast contingency was hard to miss. With a slew of rainbow-colored balloons, Comcast employees and members of the OUT @ Comcast employee resource group (ERG) marched along with one of the newest and fuel-efficient Xfinity branded vehicles.
"As part of an extraordinary company like Comcast and as part of the board of directors for the OUT @ Comcast ERG, it's really nice to meet members of LGBTQ+ community and know who we are serving, and also have the chance for them to understand that Xfinity and Comcast, as a whole, is an inclusive brand and we are a safe place to work at, and that we are supportive company to build trust as a customer," said Kish Singh, Executive Board Member of the OUT @ Comcast ERG.
The march along the parade route only lasted a few blocks, but the celebration lasted all day. At the festival area, an entire team of Comcast employees greeted people with swag and with the latest information on Xfinity products. A face painting station served as a place for children and adults to have rainbows and glitter stamped on their faces.
Renee Serranos, a Comcast customer for ten years now, who attended the parade and festival, expressed her excitement to see companies like Comcast supporting the community. Serranos said, "Comcast being here at Oakland Pride makes me feel it truly cares. It makes me feel like Comcast is an inclusive company which is where the world should go nowadays. Everyone should be inclusive and feel included no matter what race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation [they are]."
For this year's very commemorative celebration, Oakland Pride chose "Power of Pride" as its theme. Power of pride, a few words that resonate with many who call the East Bay Area home—but what does "Power of Pride" mean? We asked a few Oakland Pride attendees and Comcast employees what "Power of Pride" meant to them, and this is what they said:
To me the power of pride, especially with the Stonewall 50th, it's the celebration of the first start of LGBTQ rights and being a member of the community myself, I think it's really important to be out in public with our friends and family, and especially to have the support of our friends and families. -Lavel Bradly, Manager, Marketing and Events Sales Ops Manager
Pride is all about love, the power of spreading, love, and being present and saying, 'I love you, and you love me.' -Rachael Williams, Oakland Store Sales Representative
Power of pride means we have a chance to empower our LGBTQ+ community, a chance for them to feel a part of something, and a chance for them to feel that they are leading a movement to include everyone. -Kish Singh, OUT @ Comcast ERG Executive Board Member.

text: Val-the-nomad 1,031 Report post Posted August 20, 2011 I am so grateful that Samsung, my credit card company, are on the ball. Yesterday I got a call from their fraud department. They'd noticed some suspicious activity, a random charge of 91 cents from a company whose name I didn't recognise. Because I don't speak or read very much Korean I hadn't responded to their text message asking me about it, so they found an English speaker to call and get it sorted out. The upshot is that my card details had been phished during an online transaction, and the small charge is a kind of test run. If it hadn't been challenged then a larger one would have followed. I'm really happy that they went to all the extra effort to maintain a high standard of customer service. I only wish the criminals who are behind these scams and schemes would use their brains in such a productive way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christian Boltanski eats live native green tree ants in Sydney
Jan 13th
Posted by Elizabeth Fortescue in News
What does a famous French artist do at a VIP dinner in his honour, when his dessert starts crawling around in the bowl?
If you are Christian Boltanski, you are highly amused, intrigued, say "non, non", clap your hands to your face, and finally agree to have one popped into your mouth.
I snapped Boltanski at the dinner at Carriageworks in Sydney, as Parisian art consultant Eva Albarran encouraged him to try a live Australian native green tree ant.
Boltanski was in Sydney for the opening of his massive Carriageworks installation called Chance. Dinner was cooked in situ by Sydney star chef Kylie Kwong, who has started using indigenous foods in her cooking.
And Boltanski's reaction to the citrus-like flavour of the live ants? "Pas mauvais" (not bad), the artist conceded.

Emma 120
These giant Piave glasses were a buy at the Amsterdam flea market "Waterlooplein" during the late 1980's. My ex-wife used the same pair (in purple) during the mid 1970's. Her prescription was -6 / -7 and the glasses were not stable because of the weight of the thick glass lenses. No such problem here for Emma, in spite of the wonky condition of the frame....

Rear seats look sick.
That looks great. I never cared for the Mazda like fender flares on the back of the current model.
Interior is nice as well.
So that's where the maybach went.
Definitely from the rear quarter view. I like it! I'm sure the pricing will be pretty wild.
the lights remind me of the Ksegg Agera.
But like the new CLS and the new ML, I dont like the front treatment. I'm not feeling the current design language from MB for these models.
It looks great! I'm also looking forward to see the Pullman version of it which is supposed to replace the Maybach. It will be something along the lines of the BMW L7 if anyone remembers that car.
It's going to cost so much...
It's weird seeing different forums views. One forum I'm on hates it and I'm literally the only one that likes it. I think it looks really good!
I like it, looks a lot more refined and classier than the current model, I will definitely get one.
I think it looks very nice! Will be a perfect car for old farts
Nice! When is the official debut?
I've been digging the S-Class lately, and I think this will only help solidify those feelings.
I'll give Benz credit for pushing and pulling things in new directions. Granted, it's not so much ground-breaking as it is evolutionary, it's still going to be an incredible car, with a no doubt matching price.
Looks fantastic
Def a big body benz! Wouldnt mind seeing some detail lines or something on the hood kinda like on the 5 series etc. Still sure pricing will through the roof!
I think that MB is the number one among all luxury similar business cars at the present time.
The new S-Klasse looks like a boss!
I think that MB is the number one among all luxury similar business cars at the present time.

Those seats look more comfortable then my bed. I can't imagine how ridiculous the AMG versions are going to be.
looks fantastic! i may need to trade mine in.
Love the exterior, obsessed with the interior.
Love the interior and the exterior looks pretty nice as well, but I do not like that part right under the doors, it makes the car's ground clearance look too low IMO.
I must say though that I do NOT like the two-spoke steering wheel. They should have made it a four-spoke or at least a three spoke. Two-spoke looks cheap IMO (not saying it is, just that that is how it strikes me).
Official launch yesterday, there are tons of pictures from it, you can find them here:
Do not like the rear at all.
I love it.

KEYSER - The Keyser City Council voted this week to change the city administrator position from an appointed position to a regular hired employee.
By Liz Beavers
Tribune Managing Editor
KEYSER - The Keyser City Council voted this week to change the city administrator position from an appointed position to a regular hired employee.
Saying he felt the change would increase stability in the city government, mayor Damon Tillman had initially made the suggestion during the Oct. 23 Keyser City Council meeting.
Currently, the city administrator is appointed by the incoming mayor and approved by the council, and conceivably could change every time a new mayor takes office.
"Instead of changing every four years at the pleasure of the mayor, this will give the city some stability," Tillman said this week.
"This is a very important position for the city … they handle the money," he said.
Tillman was forced to appoint a new administrator himself when he took office in July 2018 following the resignation of the then-administrator, Randy Amtower.
"I think the people will think this is a good decision," Tillman said of the change.
Although the mayor and council had generally approved the change at their October meeting, they made it official Wednesday when council member William Zacot made a motion to approve it and Mike Ryan seconded it.
The motion passed 3-0, with Jennifer Junkins absent from the meeting and the council currently only numbering four.
No mention was made during the meeting of any plans to appoint someone to replace Terry Liller, who resigned from the council as of Oct. 31.

What is resilience?
Ecological resilience typically refers to the ability and time for an ecosystem to return to a stable state following a disturbance. There are many other indicators of a resilient and healthy system, but this definition lays the foundation to gauge proper ecosystem structure, function, and stability following perturbations.
Researchers are now considering resilience when trying to understand how vulnerable communities and ecosystems will cope with the impacts of climate change and increasing human impacts.
When you imagine a resilient ecosystem, the Tijuana River Estuary – bordered by both San Diego and Tijuana – may not necessarily come to mind. The region is highly impacted by neighboring urban development which includes over 5 million people and lies within international jurisdiction. However, it is the largest intact wetland ecosystem in Southern California.
An estuary with extraordinary challenges
The unique binational environment of the Tijuana River Watershed makes the management of this critical environment very tricky. Wetlands support biodiversity, habitat, ecosystem services, carbon sequestration, recreation, and more. The Tijuana Estuary, in particular, is also a major stop along the Pacific Flyway – a location for migratory birds to breed, feed, and overwinter.
Additionally, the Tijuana River Estuary region is also affected by a multitude of issues such as:
- untreated sewage and failing sewage treatment plants throughout the watershed
- trash, single-use plastics, and tires used as foundations for homes that inundate the estuary
- sedimentation influx
- trampling and disrupting sensitive species and nesting bird habitat
- illegal chemical dumping into the watershed
- closures of the river mouth from sand accumulation and El Niño events which then create anoxic conditions in the estuary and leads to massive organismal die-offs
Despite all of the adverse scenarios that this ecosystem faces, there are so many vested interests in the Tijuana River Valley. It was designated as a protected area and free from the development of a marina in 1980, all thanks to the hard work and long standing battle of Mike and Patricia McCoy, Imperial Beach locals who fought to protect the Tijuana Estuary. In 1981, NOAA designated this region as a national sanctuary, and it officially became the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve (TRNERR) in 1982 which included a formal relationship between NOAA and the California Department of Parks and Recreation.
I have had the opportunity to work with TRNERR, one of 29 protected and thoroughly studied estuaries in the nation, during my fellowship with California Sea Grant. Previously, the reserve developed the Climate Understanding and Resilience in the River Valley (CURRV) initiative, a project to maintain and improve resiliency of the estuary and surrounding wetland habitats to understand local vulnerabilities to climate change and develop adaptation strategies. The goal was to address all impacts that threaten the future sustainability of the natural environment and human communities.
CURRV resulted in numerous essential resources and I have helped collate the resiliency efforts by creating a web-based portal geared towards informing key stakeholders like environmental professionals and researchers, state and federal policy makers, and funders.
There are extreme efforts to clean up the Tijuana River Valley and carve a path for a resilient future in this unique ecosystem, which has been possible by the support of TRNERR and other important agencies and organizations that work in this region.
My hope is that with increased adaptation and communication/outreach efforts, this region will be protected, leading to increased resiliency for future generations to enjoy.
