What makes our bacterial digestants superior to our competition's bacterial products?
The bacteria in our bacterial digestants are packaged in freeze-dried spore form, as opposed to the vegetative adult form. The advantages to the spore form of bacteria include:
- Longer Shelf Life and Greater Stability. Because the spore form is in a suspended state rather than a vegetative state, our digestant is not active and wasted in a bottle.

Medium Ceramic Coffee Mug, Orange Yellow Black Eastern Box Turtle Reptile
Clicking on the Shop on Etsy Button below will take you to my Etsy Shop. Once there, explore what I have available. Like something from my SOLD listings? Ask! I may have a similar piece in my studio!
Black Orange and Yellow Eastern Box Turtle walks slowly across my hand thrown red earthenware clay pottery ceramic mug. The 14 ounce (oz.) mug's background is stripes of yellow and green each sporting either dark green or orange dashes. Slow and sure box turtle is my totem animal, I feel…I find them all the time in the woods.
The thumb rest is red and the mug has a wide comfortable handle, finally, a surprise spiral sun in oranges is inside!
SIZE: 4″ tall x 3 3/8″ wide (opening) (10.3 cm x 8.7 cm) and holds approx. 14 ounces.
What a fun and functional gift for reptile lover!
Glazed with a non-toxic majolica glaze, my mug is food safe, can be put in the microwave for short warm ups and placed on the top rack of the dishwasher.
Each of my pieces are individually created with my original artistic designs and is as unique as the person holding it.
All pottery from Clay Lick Creek Pottery is handmade by me in Makanda, IL, using an electric wheel or a slab roller. I use a traditional red earthenware clay (unless noted) for my pottery. Bottoms are trimmed to create a foot ring and are signed and dated. After trimming and drying, I fire in the kiln to cone 04 to bisque it. Afterwards, I dip the pottery into homemade majolica glaze, which is the opaque white background glaze, then I use a brush to paint ceramic colorants onto the raw glaze surface. Then back into the kiln again to cone 05 to seal the glaze surface. Pieces can be used in the microwave for quick warm ups (unless noted) and top rack of the dishwasher (unless noted). All orders ship USPS Priority (2-3 business days) or Parcel Post (2-9 business days) — and I usually ship same day or next business day.
I'm open to custom orders. For more details, check out my Shop Policies link or Convo me for more information.
If this is a gift and you'd like me to include a card with the package, let me know the wording in the notes to seller at check out.

San Jose is not only home to some of the globe's biggest tech giants, but plenty of attractions as well. San Jose is also close to several major Northern Californian cities which you can easily reach with your rental car. About an hours' drive brings you to San Francisco and Oakland via Interstate 208 and the US 101. Not only do you arrive at great destinations but the drive itself is known for being one the most scenic routes in the United States. You will get to enjoy views of both the coast and the mountains. Rush hour can add significant time onto the drive, thus there are several alternative routes you can consider. Highway 92 and Highway 1 will take you to northbound towards San Francisco and Santa Cruz to the south.
Like most of California, San Jose was taken over by the Spanish. Before their arrival the region was inhabited by the Ohlone people. San Jose has come a long way from its original agricultural roots and has transformed itself into a booming tech and cultural center. Rather spread out, when you rent a car in San Jose, CA, you get to take in its sights with more ease and at your own pace. Make stops at fantastic museums or head a bit further out for shopping along Santana Row. You can also drive and park up at the many trail heads in and around San Jose to begin a hike along the Guadalupe River or into the foothills.
One of San Jose's most popular destinations is The Tech Museum of Innovation. Located right in the center of Silicon Valley, the Tech Museum is an interactive platform that shows San Jose's innovative nature. 132,000-square-foot space is filled with "gizmos and gadgets" produced by companies based in the Valley. Check out the temporary exhibitions focused on different aspects of technology or play around building your own robot in the hands-on area.
The San Jose Municipal Rose Garden is another great destination with its five acres dedicated to over 189 types of roses. Thanks to the area's temperate climate there is always a good chance to witness the garden in bloom.
The San Jose Museum of Art is a great way to learn about California artist with its permanent exhibition of contemporary local artists. Paintings, sculpture and digital media are all on display.
As the capital of Silicon Valley, San Jose is a must stop for those in both the tech and startup industry. With your own vehicle you will have access to all the available venues and centers where you can meet clients, network and attend conferences. Two of the most notable locations are the Silicon Valley Business Center and the Rockefeller Group Business Center.

Hello! How is everyone! I am currently chilling out in my reindeer onesie and slippers drinking iced matcha tea after a gorgeous dinner and cashew chocolate protein smoothie! Recipe will be up on that soon, it was SO delish ;)
Anyway, today I'm sharing my favourite jumbly lunch - it is so good and so satisfying (though i always have room after lunch for a little fruit and a small square of dark chocolate!) not to mention super healthy.
Avocados are INCREDIBLE for your hair, skin and nails. I'm sure you've all heard it a hundred million gaZILION times before, but avocados are full of healthy fats. Healthy fats are my favourite, I have a diet quite heavy in them just because they're so fantastic for dense calories but don't let that scare you! The healthy fats can speed your metabolism up and keep you fuller for longer. HAPPY DAYS!
Sweet potatoes are a fantastic source of carbohydrate - ooh and due to their gorgeous vibrant colour, they are FULL of carotenoids which can ward off cancer and keep signs of aging at bay! They're also a great source of potassium, magnesium and loads of other scientific things our body LOVES. And they taste amazing. Can you tell I'm obsessed? *QUICK NOTE* sweet potatoes aren't in season in the UK at the mo and my family are really concerend about food miles. Unfortunately, the only sweet potatoes we COULD find were from the USA until we went to my brother's local health food shop and their sweet potatoes come from a country much closer. Just a little note to shop around if you are also concerned :)
Chickpeas are a fab plant based protein and are just goooooorgeous, and kale is amazingly chockapock full of iron and other fab vitamins and minerals. EVERYTHING ON THIS PLATE IS JUST LIKE MEDICINE... but really tasty and natural medicine...
It's also super simple, and you can just whip everything up and spend an hour boogieing or doing work or taking the dogs for a walk or working out or something!
Serves 2
- 1-2 sweet potatoes depending on the size and your hunger
- 1 scant tbsp cinnamon
- 1 scant tbsp smoked paprika
- salt
- a shed load of pepper
- 1tsp coconut oil
- humous, my mum made some but I'm not sure her recipe i will find out if you want, but good quality organic humous is fine too!
- 1 avocado, or 2 again depending on how hungry you are or how much you love avo'
- About 5 handfuls of kale, ripped up
- Lemon juice
- Tamari (opt)
Preheat your oven to 180C, or 200C if you don't have a fan assisted oven. Wash your 'tats and chop them into chunky wedge shapes. I cut mine too thin and they kind of lost the crispyness and just went a bit flimsy - still delicious, but a wee bit flimsy, so it's your call here. Chuck them in a roasting tray with the coconut oil, or 1tsbp olive oil if you don't want to use coconut oil/don't have any because you ate it all already in porridge, smoothies and basically everything. I've been there guys, too many times... Then sprinkle the spices and seasoning over and pop in the oven for 45 minutes-1 hour! It depends on the size of your wedges, so just check and prod a couple of times.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, pop your kale in another tray and cook it. Once it's out, drizzle some tamari over. If you don't have tamari, just put salt on the kale before you cook it :)
Chop the avocado into little chunks and squeeze some lemon juice over; and serve!
Hope you enjoy this random jumbly and extremely simple recipe, if you try it out tag me on instagram @eshbean or twitter @eshbean!
Lots of happiness and peace to you guys,

Belgium-Luxembourg - Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards
EU legislation is made up of Directives and Regulations which must be translated into the 23 official languages in use in the EU-27. Directives define the result that must be achieved but leave to each Member State the choice of form and methods to transpose the directive into national laws (usually within 2-3 years after adoption). Regulations are binding in their entirety and automatically enter into force on a set date in all Member States. Amendments to EU legislation are usually published in new and separate Directives and Regulations. A Decision is binding entirely on those to whom it is addressed. No national implementing legislation is required. A recommendation has no binding effect as it is not a law.
Harmonization with the EU
Belgium, as a member of the EU, conforms to all EU regulations and directives. Regulation (EC) 178/2002 (General Food Law) is the harmonized regulation which sets out the general principles and requirements of EU harmonized food law. Exporters should be aware that there may also be some variation among Member States in applying EU harmonized legislation; there may be temporary waivers or exemptions and in certain cases there may be room for interpretation of EU harmonized legislation or other aspects which are not regulated in detail at EU level and may be handled differently in different member states.

Some of publics criticize her for her surgery decision, even though some of them also support her decision.

Only if Abby would like to be patient by doing her dancing course just like what did she does during her young age, she will look as beauty as before again. Most of people regrets what have Abby done by her surgery. Doing weight loss surgery is known to have many bad side effects, and if it not done right, it could damage the patient's body.

Reposted from Winning With Jesus
The past few weeks Jesus has led me to make time on my day off to "review the film" What went right, what went wrong and what can be changed.
As I sat down for the film session, I was ready to hear all the things that needed improvement.
As I closed my eyes, Jesus rattled off 10 areas where I did an excellent job and a whopping 1 area to improve upon. It helped to totally change my perspective of God.
I couldn't help but laugh, here I was going into the film room with a mindset of what I was doing wrong and instead God flips the mindset into what I was doing right!
Totally God!
The more and more I understand God's nature, he isn't about berating me into make changes. He does it in a kind and loving way and it is for our benefit!
Romans 2:4 says,
Prayer: Father I thank you for every reader. I pray that you help remind each reader of how kind and loving you are. Holy Spirit, help us not be hard on ourselves for the sake of sounding spiritual . Help us to recognize where we are doing what is right and make note of it. And if we need a correction, you do it in a kind and loving way. In Jesus name! Amen!
Comments and Application: Are there areas in your life where perhaps you are too hard on yourself? How can you show more grace to yourselves in those times. I would love to hear about it in the comments below!

Since discovering the price of mince I have not had spag bol at University and settled for quorn. However I feel like I lost the point a bit by using a meat substitute by adding my favorite ingredient… BACON!
This time i forked out £3 and bought some mince. I also divided the mince into two so I could make two lots of bolognese. So this is my make shift – no instructions- spag bol from sctrach.

What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses lasers to disable the growth of hair over time on many parts on the body. At our practice, we use Cynosure Apogee Elite®, one of the best hair removal lasers on the market. With this laser, we can customize your hair removal treatment to the color and thickness of your hair. Advances in skin cooling technology also protect your skin from unwanted heat, ensuring a comfortable treatment experience.
Patients with dark hair and light skin often respond to laser hair removal the best. Darker skin tones may require a long pulse YAG laser, which is less likely to alter skin color, to see optimal results. A consultation is needed to ultimately determine if laser hair removal is a match for you.
How is Laser Hair Removal Done?
During laser hair removal, a topical anesthetic can be applied to minimize any discomfort. The laser will then be passed over the skin, targeting and damaging the hair follicles. Treatment can last anywhere from 20-minutues to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Laser Hair Removal Results
Following treatment, patients should avoid the sun or use sunscreen for a couple weeks. Also, they should avoid waxing or plucking in the treatment area. Skin may appear red or irritated, though this is temporary. Cold compresses can be applied to help alleviate this redness.
Most patients need a series of treatments, usually 3-8 within 4-8 week intervals, for optimal results. Following the completion of all treatment sessions, patients can expect to see an 85% reduction of body hair.
If you are located in the Louisville or Lexington area and are interesting in reducing your body hair growth with laser hair removal, contact us today to schedule a consultation.

Population ageing poses an evident threat to the financial sustainability of pension systems based on a "pay-as-you-go" (PAYG) scheme where contributions by the young directly finance benefits for the old. The combination of low fertility rates and substantial gains in life expectancy lead to an increase in the so-called old age dependency ratio, the ratio of people aged 65 years and above to those of working age (15 to 64 years). In addition, many countries experienced a so-called baby boom in the 1950s and 1960s, followed by a so-called baby bust thereafter so that comparatively large cohorts are followed directly by comparatively small cohorts. This will worsen the ratio even further once the baby-boom cohorts reach retirement age.
At the same time, especially in the aftermath of the financial and economic crisis, public finances are under enormous pressure, with the EU public debt reaching over 80% of GDP. In most European countries, public pension system expenditures compose a crucial part of the government's budget. In this stream, we would like to discuss the role public pension systems may play for the long-term sustainability of public finances in European welfare states and debate about possible pension reform options. We invite papers both on the (continental) Bismarck system and the (Anglo-Saxon) Beveridge system as well as any comparative work on this issue.

Demi Lovato stunned and thrilled her Instagram followers on Tuesday (06Nov18) by sharing a photo of herself voting.
The singer has been holed up in rehab for the past three months after suffering an overdose at her home in the Hollywood Hills, but Demi looked the picture of health and happiness as she hit the polls for America's midterm elections - and returned to social media for the first time since the summer.
"I am so grateful to be home in time to vote!" the 25 year old wrote alongside the photo. "One vote can make a difference, so make sure your voice is heard...! now go out and #VOTE!!!!"
Lovato, who was spotted out and about in Beverly Hills on Monday after spending 90 days in a treatment facility, is impressing family members and friends with her determination to stay sober after her near-fatal medical crisis in July.
The Cool For the Summer singer's sister Madison De La Garza recently told the Millennial Hollywood podcast that Demi was well on the way to recovery, saying, "Demi's doing really well. She's working really hard on her sobriety and we're all so incredibly proud of her.
"It's been crazy for our family. It's been a lot. But we've been through a lot together, and every single time we go through something, we always come out on the other side 100 times stronger than before. We've just been so thankful for everything, for the little things."
Demi was also spotted dining with fashion designer Henry Levy in Beverly Hills on Saturday night, and reportedly treated herself to a spa trip over the weekend.
The singer has yet to comment on the overdose that put her in the hospital for 10 days.
In a recent interview with Sirius XM's Maria Menounos, Lovato's mum Dianna De La Garza shared an update with fans, explaining her daughter
had been sober for 90 days: "I couldn't be more thankful or more proud of her because addiction being a disease, it's work," she said. "It's very hard, it's not easy and there are no shortcuts."
Demi, who has been open about her struggles with alcohol and drugs, depression, eating disorders, and self-harming in the past, had been clean for six years before confessing she had relapsed in the candid lyrics to her single Sober, which was released in June (18).

Majority of these scholarships, doctoral fellowships, and postdoctoral fellowships are meant for the needy and commendable students so that they do not discontinue education for the financial hardships.

I've written a lot about Hygge (pronounced hoo-gwa) over the past month or so. It's a Danish lifestyle/mindset that embraces slow living, being in the present and taking the time to appreciate the ordinary. Now I will share ideas about creating a Hygge kitchen, or more importantly the delightful meals that emerge from there - the hearty soups and stews and soul warming comfort foods to eat alone or share with others, served with loaves of steaming crusty bread, bottles of wine, warm cups of cocoa or coffee and tantalizing desserts. The Hygge meal, much like the Hygge home, is one of comfort. Now that the temperatures have taken a dip again, now that we're burning fires in our fireplaces and cranking up our furnaces, now is the time to make something warm and soul-satisfying in our kitchens. Below are some ideas - Why not pick up a few bottles of wine and invite a few friends over to enjoy a Hygge evening with you!
A big pot of soup, some crusty bread and a bottle of wine might be the ultimate comfort food. Toss some meat and pasta into your soup and it becomes hearty and soul satisfying. Why not bring the whole pot onto the table and gather your friends and family around it.
The heartiness of chowder makes it a New England favorite. Though not all chowders are creamy or cream-based, this one takes the heartiness of a traditional chowder and infuses it with flavors and colors from south of the border. While nothing pairs more perfectly with soup than a loaf of bread, but this one might do well with some crispy tortillas.
Now we have a trifecta - bread, soup and cheese. Add some onions and now it's perfection. French onion soup is, in my opinion, the ultimate Hygge meal. We made this the other night from the Williams-Sonoma Soup cookbook (page 11) in our brand new Williams-Sonoma Pacifica soup bowls. I love them so! Here is the recipe. It serves 6. It fed 4 of us!
This Swiss tradition of melting and scraping Raclette cheese onto meats, bread, potatoes and vegetables is another fun crowd pleaser. While you're waiting for your cheese to melt, why not break out a game of Cards Against Humanity? I wrote all about raclette here. If you can't find Raclette cheese, you can substitute Yarlsberg, Swiss, or my favorite, Gryere.
And there are the mac and cheese die hards. Those who know that anything out of a box is just not mac and cheese. And the true die hards say the richer and creamier the better. It may be an east coast thang, but Mac and Cheese is just plain ol' mac and cheese without a little lobstah in it!
I was recently introduced to this. I want to scream from all the rooftops and say "Caccio e Pepe, where have you been all my life?" This simple Roman treat has been growing in popularity here in the states over the past few years. One bite and you'll immediately know why. So simple and so spectacular. Just 5 ingredients for one of the tastiest pasta recipes you've come across so far. The Recipe is from Food & Wine. (Click on the source above. Bon Appetit has a great recipe as well. You want your pasta to appear creamy. The creaminess is rendered from the pasta water added to the cheese. For realz. Your eyes will roll back in your head.
Caccio e Peppe Pizza. I mean really, what's not to love? (Note to self: MUST try this on a carb day!)
Paella may very well be the only true year-round hygee meal. It's wonderful both in the summertime and in the wintertime! This seafood and rice dish, served from the very pan it's cooked in hails from the Catalan region of Spain but is now found world-wide. We add chicken and chorizo to ours. It's fairly laborious and time intensive but so worth it!
The truest of carnivores may want to break bread and share wine with a really good filet mignon. This recipe, with a mushroom cream sauce is decadently hygge! Click on the source for the full recipe.
To many nothing says comfort like a rich, hearty and slow cooked Boeuf Bourguignon once made famous by Julia Child. While I'm not really a red meat eater per se, this has me salivating and yearning for some of my own!
So the next time the temperatures plummet and the snow starts to fall, invite some friends over around the hygge table!

This is a budget restaurant at Colaba. Particularly serves good North Indian & Streetfood. Dont go with the decor & seating if you really want to save some. The ambiance is average. We didn't find spic & span here. Tables were a bit oily. The Seating place can accommodate a large number of people.
The food is good. A bit hot. The chats, paw bhaji, chole bhature, they cook awesomely. They bring out the real road side tastes. The Chinese they serve wasn't impressive and tasted little like that cuisine. The food is a bit oily. Tawa Pulav is a nice dish. They also offer juices. The North Indian food is very spicy.
Their service is fast. Prices are very much affordable.

MINI's have always been fun, now there's a practical one?
Zoom back to the 1960's and the MINI was just as big (a word not often used in the same sentence as 'MINI') a revolution in the car world, and society in general, as any car that came before it.
Yes, we have it on the same lofty perch as the Ford Model T and the Volkswagen Beetle.
Built on a platform with the engine, transmission and drive all up front, the classic MINI was offered in an array of different body styles ranging from the classic two-door shape to wagons and utes!
But the thing was the MINI was always….mini.
Fast forward to early 2017 and MINI finally now has a vehicle that can zip around corners, provide the fun and personality of the coloured dashboard and interior lights, but also be used for the school run.
We are of course talking about the new MINI Countryman, an offering launched recently into Australia.
And it's won some pretty big praise since that launch with our colleagues over at behindthewheel.com.au even mentioning it as a potential 2017 Car of the Year!
We look forward to having a drive ourselves, in the meantime, the Countryman has won applause for its roomy interior (it shares the same platform as the BMW X1), generously-sized boot and on-road manners.
While the turbo-diesel engine in the top-spec model looks to be a real hoot!
Producing 400Nm at just 1,750rpm and with all-wheel drive – we can't wait to give it a spin.
Stay connected to our Gay Car Boys Car Review section for the latest MINI reviews.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Defense Department will release "a substantial number" of photographs showing abuse of prisoners at prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.
Aggressive techniques to interrogate terror suspects are making headlines again.
The release will be in response to an open-records lawsuit filed by the ACLU, the group said in a written statement. The statement released late Thursday said the photos were taken at facilities other than Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
"These photographs provide visual proof that prisoner abuse by U.S. personnel was not aberrational but widespread, reaching far beyond the walls of Abu Ghraib," Amrit Singh, an ACLU attorney, said in the release. The photos are to be released by May 28, the ACLU said.
The Department of Defense announced in a letter addressed to the federal court on Thursday that it would release the photos.
In a copy of the letter posted on the ACLU's Web site, acting U.S. Attorney Lev L. Dassin said that 21 photographs would be released and that the government "also is processing for release a substantial number of other images."
The lawsuit was filed in 2004 after the Bush administration denied a 2003 open-records request by the ACLU.
The 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled last year that the photos should be released. The Defense Department will not appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, Dassin said in the letter.
Attempts by CNN to reach the White House and Department of Defense for comment were not immediately successful.

Washington, DC - The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has released Employment of Veterans in the Federal Executive Branch for Fiscal Year (FY) 2010, a document which tells a success story of the hiring of 72,133 veterans in the federal government in FY 2010. This is an increase of approximately 2,000 more veterans than were hired in FY 2009.
"Through the President's Veterans Employment Initiative, OPM and our agency partners are helping tens of thousands of veterans and their families continue their legacy of service," said OPM Director John Berry. "These are some of the best, brightest and hardest-working Americans in the federal government. While we've accomplished a lot in the first year, too many veterans are still unemployed and we're going to keep pushing to do even better going forward."
The document also highlights two other important accomplishments. First, 25.6 percent of total new hires across the federal government in FY 2010 were veterans. This is a 1.6 percentage point increase from FY 2009. Second, of the veterans hired in FY 2010, 23,140 are disabled veterans compared to 20,448 in FY 2009. This is a 1.2 percentage point increase.

"... Hiring veterans is right, and it's smart. They give our country more than we can ever repay, and they develop valuable skills along the way. To help keep veterans engaged in public service, President Obama created the Veterans Employment Initiative for the Federal government last November.
We just reported our first results, and the news is very good: we hired more than 32,800 veterans into Federal jobs in just six months this fiscal year. That's 2,600 more than in the same period last year.
Our motto is that America's VET is Valued, Experienced, and Trained. We set out to match the skills developed in the military with the critical needs of Federal agencies - everything from law enforcement officers to medical professionals. And we got the whole government involved. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki and Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis stepped up to co-chair the President's Council on Veterans Employment. As Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), I am the COO, and the cabinet departments and other agencies are members of the Council. The Agriculture, Interior, Justice, and Treasury Departments have shown particularly strong results.
The initial numbers are very good, but we're just getting started. At yesterday's Council meeting, we set new goals for hiring more veterans, including hiring disabled veterans. The unemployment rate for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan is unacceptable, and we're doing something about it. We're also getting top-notch civil servants at the same time. Additionally, as part of the White House Interagency Policy Committee on Military Families, OPM and the Department of Labor are working to increase employment of military spouses and strengthen military families.
This is personal for me. My father enlisted in the Marine Corps before Pearl Harbor and served with the first Division at Guadalcanal. My uncle for whom I am named was a Marine pilot, killed in battle in the Pacific. I honor their memories by serving today's veterans.

PGA professional Sam Shaw, from Hayfield, gives tips on putting in his latest golf column.
This week's tip is to help you get rid of that deadly hook.
The most common fault for a hook is the shoulders, hips and feet are all pointing too far right which will promote a flatter swing path and can, in turn, lead to a duck hook which starts right and bananas out of control to the left.
The cure is to open (to the left) up your shoulders, hips, and feet so they are all pointing more to the left of your intended target.
Focus on making a good turn in your backswing and then try to swing down and to the left of your target.
You may find your ball starts left and goes further left initially, but don't panic - your hands will eventually compensate for this.
Please remember this tip is explained for a right-handed golfer.
If you would like further improvement with your game, then I am offering buy one get one free on all lessons this week. Call 01614275759.

A killing in Fresno, impending executions in Arkansas, and Bill O'Reilly's departure
Good morning. On behalf of The Sacramento Bee's editorial board, welcome to The Take, your opinion-politics newsletter. Please sign up for it here.
Jack Ohman compares missile crises. See the full cartoon.
Our take
No fan of marijuana legalization, Jerry Brown offers partly baked regulation: Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal to implement the 2016 marijuana legalization initiative is a work in progress, raising serious questions about inspections, taxation, licensing, disclosure to consumers about pesticide use and more.
What really cost Bill O'Reilly his job: It would be satisfying to imagine Fox News found its conscience Wednesday, firing O'Reilly because sexual harassment was intolerable there, or because they'd had it with his smearing and belittling of decent people. But that's not how it works, even on TV.
Foon Rhee: Arkansas is planning to execute five inmates before the end of April. California has the biggest death row in the nation, and voters called in November for speeding up executions. Are Californians ready for frequent executions?
Bill McEwen, The Fresno Bee: This is a time to hold family members tight, and to support those who lost loved ones at the hands of confessed killer Kori Ali Muhammad. Shame on those who are spinning this tragic event to fit their agenda before the victims are remembered, wept over and respectfully laid to rest. And before Fresno police and the FBI have investigated Muhammad and shared their findings.
Reuven H. Taff: While Roger Waters has the First Amendment right to express his views, the concert stage in Sacramento is the wrong venue.
Roger Niello: You will not hear that businesses in California should have no regulations, but in in this state we carry the excessive burden on business to an art form.
Take a number: 66 percent
That's the percentage of California public school parents who support tax-funded vouchers that can be used at public, private and parochial schools. And 60 percent of all adults favor that, according to a new Public Policy Institute of California poll. That should be welcome news to new U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, a champion of school choice.
Also, 69 percent of school parents and 64 percent of adults say that state funding for local schools is inadequate – not so great news for the Legislature and Gov. Jerry Brown, who are drafting the budget for next year. – Foon Rhee, @foonrhee
Their take
Santa Rosa Press Democrat: California's public employee pension funds are many things. Here's something they shouldn't be: a tool for making political statements. Politics shouldn't drive pension investments.
San Francisco Chronicle: Berkeley's soda tax is working the way it was designed to work.
San Diego Union Tribune: The only kind of news the troubled $64 billion California bullet train project seems to generate is bad news. Jarring questions about the project's finances and management couldn't come at a worse time for the rail authority and Gov. Jerry Brown.
Los Angeles Times: Under its last chairman, Democrat Tom Wheeler, the Federal Communications Commission dramatically ramped up its regulation of telecommunications companies, especially those that provide broadband Internet access to the home. Since becoming the FCC's new chairman in January, however, Ajit Pai, a deregulatory-minded Republican, has moved the agency just as aggressively in the opposite direction. The relentless fighting over net neutrality rules needs to end, but how can it?
Miami Herald: State Sen. Frank Artiles should step down. He is obviously a bully, a man who, by his own admission, has anger problems, and, if not a racist, not afraid to use the language of racism. Indeed, what's the difference?
Kansas City Star: More than ever, Kansas City and St. Louis must find common ground. Leaders from both cities have started the conversation. Now they need to deliver on that promise.
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel: President Donald Trump brought a big dose of his economic populism to Wisconsin Tuesday, where he signed an executive order that would rein in a popular foreign worker program and encourage federal agencies to "buy American." Trump is on the right track. Our view.
Baltimore Sun: Our democracy is built on checks and balances so that those who are given extraordinary power are held accountable. That makes the latest decision by the White House to cloak President Donald Trump in greater secrecy all the more alarming. Accountability should be regarded as more than a buzz word.
Charlotte Observer: Democrats know that the last thing Donald Trump will do is bow to a shake-down. The tax no-returns, no-reform pledge isn't so much about changing the president's mind as it is about rallying the base.
Syndicates' take
Leonard Pitts Jr.: The lawyer for Alex Jones, the right-wing radio host who is in a custody battle for his three children, said that Jones is just playing a character and that he's a "performance artist."
E.J. Dionne: Will those who would hold President Donald Trump to account for his actions and conflicts of interest remain focused, mobilized and determined? A special election in Georgia is an indication of the pressure from an engaged and resolute citizenry that can persuade Republican politicians of the costs of being Trump enablers.
Dana Milbank: The world is the closest it has been to nuclear war in 55 years, and I wanted to caution you, Kim Jong Un, that the man with whom you are now eyeball to eyeball could be as mad as a March hare.
Thomas L. Friedman: A coal mining museum in Kentucky is going solar, for solid economic reasons, and President Donald Trump is reviving coal, with no economic logic at all. Go figure.
"Clashes between groups representing pro- and anti- Trump movements, along with self-described anarchists, should not have been a surprise to the Berkeley police." – Eileen Glaholt, Sacramento
