Title: Compliance Requirement for Child-Resistant Packaging.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0616.09, OMB Control No. 2070-0052.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2007. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: This ICR is designed to provide the EPA with assurances that the packaging of pesticide products sold and distributed to the general public in the United States meets standards set forth by the Agency pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Unless a pesticide product qualifies for an exemption, if the product meets certain Start Printed Page 46628criteria regarding toxicity and use, it must be sold and distributed in child-resistant packaging. Section 25(c)(3) of FIFRA authorizes EPA to establish standards for packaging of pesticide products and pesticidal devices to protect children and adults from serious illness or injury resulting from accidental ingestion or contact. The law requires that these standards are designed to be consistent with those under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, administered by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Pesticide registrants must certify to the Agency that the packaging or device meets these standards. EPA reviews a registrant's child-resistant packaging (CRP) certification to determine if there are human safety/health risk concerns. Exemption requests are reviewed to ascertain if there is a health risk, and if CRP is technically feasible, practicable, and appropriate.
Responses to this collection of information are mandatory under authority of 40 CFR 157.34. Although submission of confidential information is not required as a part of this information collection, there has been at least one instance where confidential data have been submitted voluntarily as supporting material for an exemption request from CRP compliance requirements. When any trade secret or Confidential Business Information (CBI) is provided to EPA, such information is protected from disclosure under section 10 of FIFRA. Data submitted to EPA is handled strictly in accordance with the provisions of the FIFRA Confidential Business Information Manual.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 4.9 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: All registrants of pesticide products meeting the use criteria which trigger Child-Resistant Packaging (CRP) requirements.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,109.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,473.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $193,567.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 1,364 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is an adjustment to the burden estimate. Neither the number of responses nor the average burden estimate for each response type has changed. However, the distribution of those responses among the four response types has changed, with a net shift from less-burdensome to more-burdensome type responses.Start Signature

Our son Matthew is 30 months old and has had diabetes for almost two years. His control has been pretty good, and his A1C's are in an acceptable range for a 30 month old (according to his endocrinologist). For over the past two months, he has been announcing to us that his tummy hurts. When this first started, we looked at other factors. Was our younger son Andrew getting more attention, and Matthew was doing this to get some? Was Andrew sick, and Matthew wanted to draw attention to himself? All this proved to be not true, and Matthew is not one to complain about much of anything. He can decipher if a body part hurts, i.e., knee/leg/head. There has also been no additional stress in our house, fighting/etc. We have also not been asking him, "Matthew does your tummy hurt?" so as not to lead him to say that.
So now onto the specifics. He has increasingly told us about his tummy hurting, and now as of the last few days, once - twice daily. There is no pattern as far as morning vs. night, but it seems to be mostly after he eats, usually within 20 - 30 minutes. There have been no changes in his meal plan, he eats fruits (bananas/melons/kiwi), starches, milk, peanut butter, etc. He doesn't keep saying it repeatedly, and he goes about his business after he says it.
We spoke to his endo about this, and we are now keeping a detailed log of this. I had noticed a previous question about a 5 year old girl complaining that her stomach hurt. The response was it could be autonomic neuropathy, but to have it checked out. This is our gameplan: if it keeps up for another month, we will take him to see a gastroenterologist. His endo says there were a few young kids in his practice who have this "problem" and they take medication to aid in digestion/opening of the stomach. He also said they outgrow it. They also have not had diabetes for many years.
Thank you for any input you have for us.
This is an interesting question because the problem of toddlers complaining of tummy pain is extremely common. When they have diabetes, an extra dimension is added.
Let me start by saying that the least likely diagnosis in the textbook is autonomic neuropathy. This doesn't affect children as young as this with very short duration diabetes.
I note that you have considered attention seeking - I wouldn't rule this out too quickly even if you don't think you differentiate between your children.
The clue to what's going on is in the timing. You say that your son's pain is usually 20-30 minutes after meals. Thus, it is most unlikely to be due to hypoglycaemia (nonetheless, worth checking a sugar next time). After eating, the gut begins to contract quite vigorously and this can provoke a colicky discomfort. In young children this may be overinterpreted. It is also quite common for them to suffer from mild constipation because they don't empty their bowel properly each time they go to the toilet. This can be true even if their diet is as good as you describe.
There's certainly nothing serious going on since he continues with what he's doing. I think you can safely forget about autonomic neuropathy.
Follow-up from Dr. Lebinger:I see quite a few kids with non-specific abdominal pain. A few of them turn out to have lactose intolerance. Their digestive system is missing the enzyme or chemical necessary to digest lactose, the sugar in milk. If the lactose cannot be digested, it is not absorbed properly and can cause diarrhea, bloating and abdominal pain. Although there is a formal test to diagnose this condition (a hydrogen breath test) this requires drinking a large amound of carbohydrate as lactose first. An easier way to tentatively diagnosis this is to remove all lactose ("dairy products") from the diet for 2 weeks and see if the symptoms resolve. It doesn't take much milk to give symptoms (12 grams of lactose/8 0z), as opposed to cheese, which is mainly protein and usually has less than 1 gram lactose per slice. Butter has none.
Nowadays you don't have to give up dairy products to avoid lactose. You can buy 100% Lactaid milk which has the missing enzyme added directly to the milk to predigest the lactose for you. All the lactose has been changed to glucose, causing little effect on diabetes management, though it may work a little faster theoretically. You can also buy Lactaid caplets and drops in the pharmacy to add to dairy products to digest the lactose.
If the symptoms go away off lactose and return when lactose is reintroduced into the diet, you have a good presumptive diagnosis. It is important to diagnose lactose intolerance in a child with diabetes as the malabsorption of the lactose can cause erratic blood sugar control.
If you feel your child may have lactose intolerance, it is important to discuss with with your own physician to confirm the diagnosis and decide whether any dietary or insulin changes are necessary.

Zain Rajani is the 1st baby born using Augment IVF treatment
Augment IVF treats women who fail to get pregnant via in vitro fertilization or have poor embryo development
A Toronto baby is the first in the world to be conceived by a new in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment that re-energizes a woman's eggs using mitochondria from her own egg precursor cells.
Zain Rajani, the picture of health, was born at five pounds four ounces just under a month ago.
His parents, Natasha and Omar Rajani, had spent four years trying everything to conceive a child — fertility drugs, time-intensive treatments and traditional IVF — but nothing worked.
And then their doctor recommended Augment IVF.
"She basically told us, described what it entailed and to be honest, there wasn't anything to think about," said Natasha Rajani.
"I remember calling Omar and telling him — I was in tears — and I told him, 'I think we just won the lottery.' That there's this new procedure and we've been chosen for it," she said.
They went to TCART Fertility Partners in Toronto, the only clinic in North America offering the treatment.
Replacing the 'batteries' in eggs
Dr. Robert Casper, the clinic's medical director, said his team treats women who have already gone through IVF treatment and have either failed multiple times to get pregnant or have poor embryo development.
What the Augment IVF procedure does, then, is extract the mitochondria of cells that line the surface of a mother's ovaries, which are egg precursor cells (or yet-to-be-developed eggs), and add them to the mother's older eggs to re-energize them. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of a cell.
"So what we're actually doing is sort of replacing the batteries in the eggs to give them a boost of energy to get to the day 5 stage or the blastocyst stage, where the embryo can implant," said Casper.
The procedure also involves a laparoscopy, minor abdominal surgery to get a piece of the surface of the ovary in order to get the egg precursor cells.
Since he started performing the treatment a year ago, eight women — all under 40 — have gotten pregnant and are due in the near future. He said he is unsure if the Augment IVF treatment would be effective for women over 40.
Other fertility experts say more studies need to be done in order to know for sure if the treatment is effective.
But for Zain's proud parents, there is no doubt.
"The symbol of hope is Zain," said Natasha Rajani. "There's light at the end of the tunnel. And this is our light."

CODDENHAM Church Road Church of St. Mary
I Parish church. Medieval with major phases of mid C14 and late C15. Nave, chancel, north and south aisles and north-west tower. Organ chamber of c.1880. Flint rubble with freestone dressings; inclusions of brick rubble in both C14 and C15 work. Low-pitched leaded roofs to nave and aisles, partly with parapets. Chancel roof plaintiled; parapet gables throughout. Areas of C11/C12 rubble walling to north chancel, and perhaps west nave; in the former is a slit window. The chancel was extended eastwards in mid C13: good east and south windows with hoodmould and tracery; one window has a piscina with corner shaft, and another is reset with good matching doorway in the C19 organ chamber. Fine carved masks at the east gable kneeler stones. Plain early C14 tower, raised by two stages in early C16 with flushwork parapets. Nave and aisles rebuilt mid C14: arcades upon octagonal piers with moulded capitals, north and south doorways, windows with varied curvilinear tracery and a piscina in the south chapel, all with much hoodmoulding. The nave and aisles were remodelled to a high standard in mid or late C15: clerestory in 7 full and 2 half bays; traceried windows, the interstices entirely panelled with intricate flushwork, and above is an inscription "ORATE PRO ANIMAE JOHANNIS FRENCH ET MARGARETE"; fine roof with trusses of double hammerbeams and short kingposts, all members being enriched and the arch-braces carved; angels and wall-post figures much renewed, but one at least of the former is original; matching aisle roofs with arch-braced principals. Restored early C16 south porch, with flushwork panels, the doorway with label and lion corbels. Rood loft stairway with brick walls and two doorways. Some fragments of screen (now elsewhere) are dated 1534. Early C17 arcaded pulpit on C19 limestone plinth. Late C17 rails with barley-sugar balusters, at south chapel and at chancel arch. In the chancel are C15 choirstalls with misericordes, and 4 reused bench-ends. The limestone font in the C15 manner is probably a C19 renewal. Three good wall monuments in the chancel: to Philip Bacon (d.1666), to Revd. Baltazar Gardenau (d.1739) and Lady Catharine his wife (d.1757), and to Revd. Nicholas Bacon (d.1796). Over the Bacon vault in the chancel is a marble slab with achievements. In the south aisle is a floor slab with indents for brasses of C16 type. Six painted panels, mainly in the nave, have coats of arms.

Topshop black lace romper, dress version here // tassel straw bag (sold out), similar here
Tory Burch wedges (back in stock from last year!)
I love, love, love a good black dress or romper during the spring and summertime. Not only does it look good with a tan, but your accessories always pop! This black romper is perfect for a girls night out, date night, or even as a bathing suit cover up. Size up, I'm wearing a size 4 and usually wear an XS! :) I also want to point out that these Tory Burch wedges are from last year... apparently, they were so popular that Tory brought them back again this year! I am SO happy because they are seriously my favorite wedges of all time. They're so comfortable and they go with ANY outfit. You will love them!
Sorry this post is going up late today - I had to take Prince George to the vet this morning for his annual check-up! He is losing his winter coat and has been getting so many mats in his fur... I had him shaved a little bit too. He looks hilarious!

Medical school and residency programs are the beginning of doctors' training. For the rest of their careers, physicians rely on accredited continuing medical education to help them improve their practice and deliver high-quality, safe, effective patient care. Accredited CME covers the full range of topics important to health care—from the latest breakthroughs in medical research to how to communicate with families.
Accredited CME - CME that Matters to Patient CareTM
Across the country, from national conferences in big cities to grand rounds in rural hospitals to just-in-time learning at the patient's bedside, more than 148,000 educational activities each year support public health improvement. Nearly 1,900 organizations, accredited within the ACCME System, offer relevant, practice-based CME in nearly 26 million interactions with physicians and other healthcare professionals annually. ACCME accreditation is a national model, assuring the public that CME is designed to be relevant, effective, and independent.

Questions for the Dispatch Editor
Dispatch Editor Ben Marrison is going to interact with the public.
At noon on Wednesday, he is going to participate in a one-hour question-and-answer session on Dispatch.com/chat.
We urge everyone who has an interest in political media coverage in Ohio to participate – and, of course, to be respectful. The Dispatch will screen the questions, so we are curious if tough questions will get through.
Here are some questions we urge Plunderbund readers to ask the Dispatch editor:
- Have any of the companies in which the Wolfe Family – publishers of the Dispatch – have substantial holding received money from JobsOhio?
- You have written a lot about the growing secrecy of state government records. On July 14 you wrote, "Based on what I heard from many of you, you're fired up that state lawmakers are continuing to keep public information from you." On July 7 you wrote, "It continues to get harder for you and us to find out what's happening in government and public agencies." How have these concerns shaped the Dispatch's coverage of the Kasich Administration?
- Media outlets like the Cincinnati Enquirer and, even, ESPN and Plunderbund, have filed public records lawsuits. Why hasn't the Dispatch ever sued the Kasich Administration over access to public records?
- The Republican Legislature seems focused on abortion rights, guns, and taxes. Do you believe that these are the most important issues facing Ohio?
- Does the Dispatch plan any coverage or stories about income inequality in Ohio?
- Should the office of the Inspector General release the Coingate report?
- Do you agree with Joe Hallett that "Kasich's secretive JobsOhio program [is] a potential scandal-in-waiting?"
- The Columbus Dispatch has never endorsed a Democrat for President. Should people consider the paper to be unbiased?
- Do you believe that the media should just "report the controversy." What does the Dispatch plan to do in the upcoming campaign to print analysis that allows readers to gain a deeper understanding of issues?
- What is your favorite Ayn Rand book?
- In the last election, John Kasich told the Cincinnati Enquirer: "I'm not worried about transparency. I'm not going to get hung up on that stuff. If you've got something you want to know, I'll tell you. I'm not here to 'hide the pea.' My bias is toward openness." Do you believe that the Kasich Administration has been biased towards openness?
- George W. Bush. Great President, or Greatest President?
- Do you accept the scientific consensus that global warming is real, and that it is caused by human activity? How does this believe affect the coverage of global warming issues by the Dispatch?
- Does the Dispatch plan to hire an independent Ombudsman, or Public Editor, like the New York Times and the Washington Post?
- Do you believe that Fox News is "fair and balanced?" Is Fox News a model for the Dispatch?
- Plunderbund has sued the Kasich Administration for records relating to security at the Governor's residence. Will the Dispatch be filing an amicus brief in support of these open records?
This is a good thing. Usually, Marrisson only addresses important issues like whether a Foxtrot Comic was too risqué for the delicate sensibilities of Dispatch readers. His public interaction with readers seems limited to printing letters in his Sunday Column that allow his to show how even-handed and big hearted the paper is. See June 2, 2013 ("We have almost daily discussions about such questions, and we do consider the impact of publishing such stories.") and July 21, 2013 ("I'm sure you value having a newspaper that presents a diversity of opinion. We certainly appreciate having you as a reader of our paper.")
Mark your calendars for Wednesday at noon. Join the fun here.
Why does the Columbus Dispatch rarely mention that Elephant-in-the-Room, ALEC, and its corporate manipulation of Ohio's GOP "lawmakers" and the legislation they sponsor and pass?
ALEC is the legislature.The so-called elected officials including Kasich are just puppets completely controlled by ALEC. This is not a democracy.
Ohio was previously a national economic leader in good paying high quality jobs and and business and plant locations. These jobs/companies were enticed to Ohio by the work of the former Ohio Department of Development which operated under Ohio's ethics and open public records laws. The Kasich administration has changed that game plan. Does the Dispatch have any plans to report to the public what these differences are and to report how and why Ohio was previously successful without being secretive? How do the ethics policies compare? Why did companies locate in Ohio previously when the books were open and they were bound by Ohio laws? Why do they have to operate in secret today? How did previous administrations insure that there was no "pay to play" in awarding economic development incentives? How does that compare to the current administration?
" The Dispatch will screen the questions"
I'm not holding my breath that any relevant questions will be allowed…
Except maybe:
"George W. Bush. Great President, or Greatest President?"
"John Kasich. Next to Jim Rhodes, Great Governor, or Greatest Governor?"
"What is your favorite Ayn Rand book?" This seems a bit much in a question to Ben Marrison. The chosen editorial voice of the newspaper, Glenn Sheller, is obviously arch-right as can be. His editorial page's commentary on issues involving the poor, the uninsured, and the environment generally reflect the worst of today's Republican right. From demands that Obama ignore urgent warnings from climate scientists to attacks on the safety net to his obsession with gutting Obamacare to his steadfast refusal to hold Republicans accountable, Mr. Sheller's editorial page consistently opts for knee-jerk rigidity over compassion and in-depth exploration of issues. And Jack Torry's nasty, watch-me-pretend-to-be-nonpartisan mush may be worse — at least Sheller makes no bones about being a right-winger. But I think your bone to pick is not really with Marrison — who is the first to tell you he has nothing to do with editorial content — but with whoever chose the editorial viewpoint of the Dispatch, presumably the publisher. (And frankly, assuming that Marrison is an Ayn Rand fan is also just overly nasty. Im no Dispatch fan, but Marrison seems like a pretty civil guy.)
Many of these are good, tough questions. But I part company where you ask "What is your favorite Ayn Rand book" as posed to Ben Marrison, simply because I've seen nothing to indicate that Marrison is a hard-core right winger or an Ayn Rand acolyte. (And I've found him to be a pretty civil guy.) I think the more appropriate question is why Mr. Wolfe chose to give Central Ohio readers such an arch-right, Obama-hating editorial page. From poverty issues to health care access to climate disruption to income inequality to tort reform, the editorial page consistently fails to explore issues with depth or compassion — and that's a real failing. It's not Ben Marrison's failing, though, and I'd rethink that particular hostile question.
I do agree that the Dispatch has been timid about coverage of climate science. And that failing goes beyond the editorial page.
Boy, it sounds like the Plain Dealer. Their "reader representative" is always hashing over people complaining that a photo ran too many columns wide and stuff like that. My favorite was when the PD was looking into suing people who posted links to the paper because they felt that you should pay them for driving traffic to their site. He mused that maybe the paper should never have "jumped into the Internet surf."
Nor are they capitalists like they want us to believe. This is the Republican Socialist Party of Ohio engaging in corporate welfare.
Fair enough.
I agree. Expecting the Dispatch to engage in any kind of objective analysis of the issues is folly. They endorsed Kasich and the ALEC agenda and they're not going to open any real debate over it
Over 97 percent of climate scientists putting their work out in peer reviewed scientific journals agree on the realty and cause of climate disruption. Bodies ranging from the Bush-era Pentagon to the National Academy of Sciences to the World Bank have warned that we face potentially catastrophic consequences unless we start to drastically slash carbon emissions. Yet Dispatch reporters never ask elected officials tough questions about this topic. And the Dispatch editorial page demanded that President Obama do nothing — that he ignore urgent warnings from the most respected scientific bodies in the world, including the NAS – until we see "consensus" from congressional Republicans. (Tee hee hee.)Tell us something, Ben. When four former EPA chiefs who served under Nixon, Reagan and both Bushes warn that the science is clear and we're running out of time, what does the Dispatch plan to say if they and the NAS are right and your editorial page is wrong? Oops? Sorry, kiddies? Why shouldn't readers be absolutely livid with this newspaper, whose concern for posterity doesn't extend to the planet they'll inherit?
How about asking what the circulation numbers for The Dispatch are, year by year, for the last ten years? Since the population in Central Ohio is growing over the same period and there is no print competition for the newspaper, what does Marrison have to say about these numbers.
Red Rover
Republicans don't know the meaning of socialist, and I guess you don't either – or capitalist for that matter. Just because they like hand-outs from the state doesn't mean they're not capitalists.
Yeah. The very handouts they cry about when a little kid gets a subsidized lunch but have no problem taking themselves. Don't tell me republicans don't know the meaning of socialism, Bub. They accuse everyone else of it all the time. I know this much, a true capitalist wouldn't take a handout from the state. They rely on good business practices and decisions to be competitive.
Red Rover
Just because Republicans engage in name-calling doesn't mean they understand the words they're using. They'll say anything they think will form a negative impression of their opponents. The modern state developed along the needs of capitalism, and capitalists throughout history have been only too happy to have the state intervene on their behalf. They just don't like it when the state intervenes against their interest. You're thinking more of laissez-faire capitalism, which is an ideal that isn't practiced on a national scale anywhere. A "true capitalist" is simply someone who invests money, employes people, and makes a profit off of them – and many of them have no qualms with government coercion and subsidies on their side. How many Fortune 500 companies can you name that don't accept government aid of some form?

Guest Post: 4 Tips for the Transition to Becoming A Mom
Today, for the In Every Season series, I am so excited to shared a guest post from Rhiannon from Whatsoever Is Lovely Living blog. Rhiannon writes on her blog about discoveries and lessons she has learned from studying the Bible as well as building a relationship with Jesus. I have been encouraged by her blog and know you will too! I asked her to write a guest post on motherhood since she is a mama to an adorable toddler, and I love what she came up with! I am not a mama so I am not qualified or knowledgable at all in this domain of blogging, so I am so pleased she wrote about lessons she learned about motherhood that will bless any new mamas or mamas-to-be!
When Elena told me that she was starting this new series about different seasons that women walk through I was more than happy that she asked me to write about the season I am currently in.
As I was thinking about this post and what I could say that might be helpful to wives who are venturing into the season of motherhood I was kind of at a loss. What could I, as a mom who's still learning so much, have to say that might be helpful? I began to think and pray about it and I realized that all I can do is share my heart, my experience and the things that helped me transition from being a wife to being a wife and mom.

Marriage Book Recommendations
First, I'll start with two books Greg and I have read together and LOVE:
You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity by Francis and Lisa Chan *
You and Me Forever is not your average marriage book, because it doesn't really focus on marriage. A quote on the back cover says: "The way to have a great marriage is not by focusing on marriage." Well, then, what should we focus on? The Chans believe Christians should focus on God first and foremost, placing Him preeminent above all else, even your spouse and children. Only then, when the greatest Love is in its proper place, can we love our families best. Using Scripture as well as wisdom from their experiences in their own marriage, Francis and Lisa discuss principles to have a marriage that satisfies the deepest part of the soul when God is the main focus. We loved the discussion questions at the end of each chapter and felt challenged to evaluate our marriage 'in light of eternity', as the Chans' subtitle notes.
The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts by Gary Chapman *
This book is an indispensable resource for all married couples, and now that there are versions that focus on love languages for singles, children, and teens, it really is equally important for anyone and everyone that desires to learn more about their own love languages and those of the ones they love. Greg and I used the general principles of this book while dating and used online resources to find out more about each other's love languages. We finally got around to reading it the past few months and it has brought up awesome conversations about how we have been doing in loving one another in specific ways we receive best. I cannot say enough about how this book has blessed our relationship from early on in our dating season until now in our newlywed season.

Following on my previous blog which showed overall federal spending as a percent of personal income . . . this blog shows federal "retirement and disability" spending as percent of personal income. What is this?
According to the Consolidated Federal Funds Report (pdf) from which this data is drawn from:
Retirement and disability programs include federal employee retirement and disability benefits, social security payments of all types, selected Veterans Administration programs, and selected other federal programs
The table below shows the wide range of federal "retirement and disability" dependency by state. The states that are most dependent are: West Virgina (12.8 percent), Alabama (10.4 percent), Arkansas (10.1 percent), Mississippi (10 percent) and Kentucky (9.8 percent).
On the other hand, the states that are least dependent are: Alaska (4.6 percent), Connecticut (4.7 percent), California (4.8 percent), Massachusetts (5.1 percent) and New Jersey (5.1 percent).

What impact does your home have on our environment? What difference does it make if your showerhead is water-efficient or not? Collectively, across 2.8 million households in New South Wales, it makes an enormous difference.
If each of us aims to run a sustainable household, which means thinking about the type and amount of resources we use, how we recycle and dispose of materials, the steps we take to manage and conserve the natural environment we all depend on, we are not only conserving energy, we are saving money too.
Little things like changing to a water-efficient showerhead can save hundreds of litres of water a year, and stop your dollars going down the drain.
If we build houses that are well insulated and designed, then it will cost less to heat and cool them. If we consider our purchases carefully, a lot less waste will end up as landfill and pollution. Every year, each Australian generates, on average, more than 2000kg of rubbish; in NSW alone, we throw away $2.5 billion worth of edible food a year.
Water usage remains a key environmental concern and there are many ways to use it sparingly, without compromising on comfort. Whether it's fixing a leaking tap or installing a household greywater system, every little bit helps.
Lots of little actions by lots of people can help turn things around. We have compiled some simple steps and actions you can take:
Tips to improve your home's energy efficiency rating with better heating, cooling, hot water, insulation and lighting.
Choose more water/ energy efficient appliances and compare the running costs of different models.
Avoid, reduce, reuse and recycle waste by living sustainably.
Thank you for your feedback.
Would you like to tell us more?
Energy-efficient appliances help you reduce your energy use and save you money.

MIAMI- Speaking to the Hispanic Leadership Network (HLN), Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida sounded like someone who knows he's being considered as a possible running mate for the Republican nominee this fall-and who knows the party has to fix a badly battered relationship with the nation's Hispanic voters.
Rubio challenged the Republican candidates, and the rest of the party, to confront the difficult issue of immigration and to "not just be the anti-illegal immigration party, but the pro-legal immigration party." At the same time, he argued, "both sides are guilty of using the issue (of immigration) to divide us."
His smooth, conciliatory tone was unnecessary to win over the audience in the conference room of a Doral, FL hotel, who gave a standing ovation to the young, charismatic senator speaking in his own backyard. It was directed at another Hispanic audience: those for whom anti-immigrant rhetoric, translated into concrete actions at the state level, and failed, blocked attempts at progress at the federal level, has leveled Hispanic support for the Republican Party-something some Republicans, including those who lead the HLN, want to change this election year.
Rubio's speech to the center-right group's conference was interrupted by DREAMers-those who would benefit from the DREAM Act - which would grant legal status to undocumented young people who pursue higher education or enlist in the armed forces.
Rubio is opposed to the DREAM Act in its current form, but he hasn't yet offered his own version of the measure.
Two young people stood up in the middle of the speech. One of their banners read "Marco Rubio: ¿Latino or Tea Partino?" referring to the support the senator has received from the Tea Party for much of his career. The other said "Your Party or Your People?"
Rubio himself announced to the audience that there was a plane flying over the hotel with a banner that read "Hey Marco, no somos rubios!" (Rubio can refer to someone who's pale-that is to say, white-but the senator translated it for the crowd as "Marco, we're not blond.") "Which, by coincidence, neither am I," Rubio said. In the speech, as on other occasions, he maintained that he believes these young people should have some form of relief, but that the bills currently on the table-i.e. the DREAM Act-don't provide the right solution "because they go too far and they don't have support."
When he was interrupted, Rubio said, "These young people are very brave to be here today.they raise a very legitimate issue." He asked the security guards to let them stay in the room, but the young protesters were escorted out. Outside the hotel, about 30 DREAMers protested the senator's speech.
Rubio wanted them, he said, to hear what he had to say: "I'm not who they think I am. I don't stand for what they claim I stand for."
Later in the speech, Rubio tried to pluck at the audience's heartstrings, as a way to demonstrate empathy and convince them that there are some in the Republican Party who want a solution: he recognized that the immigration system is broken and unsustainable, that people overstay their visas because they're afraid to go back, that people come here in search of opportunities for their children; that if you put yourself in their shoes, and say that your children had no opportunity, you'd do whatever it took to get out of that situation: "There is no fence high enough, there is no ocean wide enough," he said. And he recognized that it's not realistic to think about deporting 11 million people-but neither was it possible to legalize everyone.
"I don't have a magic answer for you," he said, but neither (he continued) was it honest for others - meaning the present administration and the Democrats - to pretend that it's possible to legalize 11 million undocumented immigrants, or to politicize the issue.
But the conciliatory face Rubio is now putting forward is inconsistent with the opposition he's shown to the DREAM Act and comprehensive immigration reform. It isn't consistent either with the positions of the candidates for the Republican presidential nomination who followed Rubio in speaking to the HLN. Newt Gingrich repeated his line that the government must look for some sort of solution-that didn't include any sort of path to legalization-for immigrants who had spent decades in the country. Mitt Romney basically promoted his "self-deportation" plan.
And there's the rub. To change the tone of the debate, four days before the Republican primary in Florida and with an eye toward winning the Hispanic vote in the general election, doesn't erase years of anti-immigrant positions, the refusal to compromise, or the will to negotiate realistic solutions to the immigration dilemma.
The real, concrete actions that Rubio and other Republicans take to work towards real immigration solutions will speak louder than a thousand speeches.

Couture Models Adorned in Baldwin Hardware-Inspired Gowns and Headpieces Took Center Stage at Gala Celebration
Couture Models Adorned in Baldwin Hardware-Inspired Gowns and Headpieces Took Center Stage at Gala Celebration
LAKE FOREST, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 15, 2016) - Baldwin Hardware, a leading brand of the Hardware & Home Improvement (HHI) division of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPB), recently gathered hundreds of influential architects and designers, customers, employees and Design Council members at the historic Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills for a monumental 70 Years Bold Gala celebrating the company's 70th anniversary. The evening marked the culmination of a year's worth of activities across the country commemorating Baldwin Hardware and the influence its luxury hardware has had on modern-day architecture and design.
"This year has been a great opportunity to look back, while continually keeping our eyes on the future," said PJ Rosch, senior brand manager for Baldwin Hardware. "And we believe the future is bright thanks to the amazing customers, architects and designers with whom we work daily, and to the tireless efforts of our Product and Industrial Design teams that continually develops new products to meet the evolving needs of our loyal customers."
The hardware brand turned heads when it unveiled a runway filled with models adorned in Baldwin Hardware-inspired couture gowns and headpieces in a never-been-seen before fashion event. Each couture look incorporated design cues from Baldwin knobs from the past seven decades.
"Many people like to say 'hardware is like jewelry for the door,'" added Rosch. "We prefer to think of Baldwin as a fashion statement for the home; part of your design aesthetic. Baldwin is couture for the door."
The fashion show concluded with a nod to the future when Baldwin provided a sneak peek of Baldwin Evolved, the next generation of smart handlesets and deadbolts blending exquisite architectural designs with Kevo technology. Attendees experienced Evolved through Baldwin's new Augmented Reality app, which also will be released in Spring 2017.
During the Gala, Baldwin announced the three winners of its Bold Design Award Competition, which was rolled out during the AIA National Convention in May and ran through mid-September. The competition paid homage to the company's 70-year heritage of bold moments and looked ahead to what might be the next vision in hardware design. Coined the Baldwin Bold Design Award, architects, designers and students were encouraged to illustrate what they believed to be the next bold hardware design. Winners were named in three categories and included:
Prizes included $15,000 in Baldwin Hardware for the architect and designer, and a $5,000 cash award for the winning student. All three won a trip for two to the 70 Years Bold Gala to accept their awards.
The Greystone Mansion was the perfect backdrop for the 70 Years Bold gala, as Baldwin Hardware worked with the Friends of Greystone earlier this year on the "100 Door Project." In an effort to restore the mansion to its original glory, Baldwin donated and installed luxury hardware on 100 doors throughout the mansion. Four different products can be found throughout the home, including Baldwin's Estate Series Knob 5050, Estate Series Knob 5068, Estate Series Knob 5015 and Estate Series Lever 5455--all in Baldwin Vintage Brass Finish 033. They will permanently represent Baldwin's commitment to timeless style and the Friends of Greystone organization. During the Gala, Nancy Hunt-Coffey, director of community services for the City of Beverly Hills presented a Proclamation to Baldwin Hardware recognizing its role as "an invaluable partner in the restoration of the Doheny Greystone Estate" and congratulating "Baldwin Hardware on 70 years of creating beautiful hardware."
Baldwin is part of Hardware & Home Improvement (HHI), a major manufacturer and supplier of residential locksets, residential builders' hardware and plumbing with a portfolio of renowned brands, including Kwikset®, Weiser®, Baldwin®, National Hardware®, Stanley®, FANAL®, Pfister® and EZSET®. HHI is a leader in its key markets with #1 positions in U.S. residential locksets (Kwikset), Canada residential locksets (Weiser), U.S. luxury locksets (Baldwin), and U.S. builders' hardware (Stanley-National Hardware), #2 in Mexico residential hardware (Fanal), and #3 in U.S. retail plumbing (Pfister). Headquartered in Orange County, California, HHI has a global sales force and operates manufacturing and distribution facilities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Asia.
HHI is a division of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPB).

or ba·ba au rhum
Origin of babaFrench baba baba ( from Polish old woman, round Easter cake, from the cake's resemblance to a pleated skirt ) au with the rhum rum
MLA Style
"baba." YourDictionary, n.d. Web. 18 August 2018. <http://www.yourdictionary.com/BABA>.
APA Style
baba. (n.d.). Retrieved August 18th, 2018, from http://www.yourdictionary.com/BABA
(plural babas)
- A kind of sponge cake soaked in rum-flavoured syrup.
- (esp. among people of East European ancestry) A grandmother.
- An old woman, especially a traditional old woman from an eastern European culture.
- (esp. among people of Indian ancestry) A father.
- (Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism) A holy man, a spiritual leader.
- (India, dated) A baby, child.
- In baby talk, often used for a variety of words beginning with b, such as bottle or blanket.
- baba au rhum
- rhumbaba, rum baba
- baba ganoush
- babushka
As one of the first utterances many babies are able to say, baba (like mama, papa, and dada) has come to be used in many languages as a term for various family members:
- father: Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Marathi, Hindi, Bengali, Persian, Swahili, Turkish, Yoruba
- grandmother: many Slavic language (such as Bulgarian, Russian and Polish), Yiddish, Japanese
- baby: Afrikaans, Sinhala
These terms often continue to be used by English speakers whose families came from one of these cultures. In some cases, they may become more widely used in localities that have been heavily influenced by an immigrant community. Some senses were extensions of one of these family terms in the original languages ("old woman" from "grandmother", "holy man" from "father"). The "cake" sense comes through French, from Polish baba ("old woman"). The Middle Eastern word baba (as in Ali Baba) is rather a term of endearment, and is ultimately derived from Persian بابا (bābā, "father") (from Old Persian pāpa; as opposed to the Arabic words ابو ('ábu) and أب ('ab), as well as the Turkish word ata; see also Papak) , and is linguistically related to the common European word papa and the word pope, having the same Indo-European origin.

Flood Watch In Effect Until Next Week as Temps Warm Fast
The rapid warming trend during the next four days will trigger some flooding in the Eastern Sierra, especially along the Walker River.
Here's the latest from the National Weather Service:
• A "Flood Watch" continues from Sunday morning through Tuesday evening - flooding may continue in some areas beyond Tuesday.
• Warming temperatures will start to melt the excessive amount of water locked up in the Sierra snowpack this weekend. Flows on small creeks and streams will rise through at least early next week. Daily peak flows on small creeks and streams typically occur during the evening and overnight hours.
• Creeks and streams will run fast and very cold, bringing the risk of hypothermia for those without protective gear. Flood water will likely inundate pasture land, some campgrounds, cover hiking and biking trails and roads leading into the high country.
• What to do: Excessive runoff may also generate rock and mud slides in steep terrain. Persons living along small creeks and streams should monitor the latest weather information at: weather.gov/reno. Be prepared to take action should flooding occur.

Studio Una – Studio Branding
The aim of this project was to produce a flexible and high-quality stationery with a pleasant touch for Studio Una. To produce various printed materials in a single pass, Studio Una have screen-printed on a sheet with different formats, patterns and applications. The open textured and sand-colored cardboard was printed with white, writable color. A special feature is the large dot-matrix sheet from which we have made various applications such as folders and notebooks. In addition to a business card and a short message Studio Una made some postcards and buttons. The print project is complemented by utilities and tools, such as printed tape, stamps and an embossing press to individualize the printed matter and to produce additional applications such as shipping envelopes.

Very skilled bartenders and the choice of glassware really made this place stand out. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Cat's Cradle
I'd like to imagine former R&B star and KC & The Sunshine Band producer Clarence Reid had a big happy party when he turned 60 last Valentine's Day, as--at long last--it was official: He is a sexagenarian. The man known as Blowfly (or, perhaps, "the guy with the naked chicks on his LP covers") still sports more ways to offend, horrify and delight listeners than those fresh emcees one-third his age. After all these years, "What a Difference a Lay [Still] Makes." $10/9:30 p.m. --GC
Friday, July 8
Countdown Quartet
Bickett Gallery
The Countdown Quartet and their bayou sound--polyphonic brass layered over impossibly funky vamps all topped off by a soulful baritone--would sound more at home bringing up the rear of a street festival than on stage in a "you watch, we play" setting. Catch a second Countdown showing 9 p.m. Saturday at Chapel Hill's Fuse. 8 p.m. --JR
The Chest Pains, The New Recruits, Hum Machine
Greg Barbera named his punk band after his near-fatal bout with Sudafed and the heart problems attached. Can't think of a recent better name for a punk band actually (and by punk, we're talking louder, faster, harder, not the new schmaltz). Two Madison, Wis. bands open; The New Recruits even have a theme song. 10 p.m. --CT
Chatham County Line, Tad Walters & Dave "Smokebreak" Andrews
Cat's Cradle
Chatham County Line has the instrumentation, sound and formal garb of a bluegrass band, and the four guys definitely look comfortable gathered around that one mic. But there's an intangible at work that makes their music appeal to those who aren't typically bluegrass fans. $8/9 p.m. --RC
Cigar Store Indians, Loch Ness Johnny
The Pour House
I have to dig out my pal Pete's old line, which played off the name of this big-energy, vintage-sounding Georgia foursome: "If these guys don't make you dance, then you, my friend, are made of wood." It still fits even though the band positions their sound as "more rock than billy" these days. $6/10 p.m. --RC
Backyard Babies
Local 506
They're The Hives of hard rock, a raucous guitar-slinging Swedish crew that combine the pop punch of Cheap Trick with the thundering crunch of Motorhead for a hot, sweaty sound that makes Velvet Revolver seem like The Darkness. Their new album, Tinnitus, compiles a decade of chugga-chugga siss-boom pop. $10/10 p.m. --CP
Saturday, July 9
Whild Peach
Lincoln Theatre
"Heeeyy Yaaaaaaaa ... Heeeyy Yaaaaaaaa." While the band performing tonight at the Lincoln may not have written the chorus, they supplied the hand-jive melodies that rocketed Outkast to the top of the food chain. Hitting the road with a brand of "slunky" music--an amalgamation of soul and funky--the band is out to prove they have the chops that made some of the biggest artists in the southern hip-hop scene famous. $7/9 p.m. --JR
Jett Rink, Shallow Be Thy Name
What have the Rink finks been up to? They haven't played in the area since February. Working up new songs and screwing them down into their sham-a-lama sound célebre, of course. SBTN's melodies linger, even after the hazy bliss of the moment has past. Clarque Blomquist shares duties in SBTN and the Kingsbury Manx, whose Bill Taylor opens this show with a solo set. Blomquist and JR's Viva deejay between sets. 10 p.m. --CT
Billy Jonas
Six String Cafe
Like fellow Parents Choice Award-winning artist Justin Roberts, Billy Jonas is a family-music artist by day (or early evening) and an adult/general-audience artist by night. But where Roberts leans on hooky pop melodies, Jonas' world is built with the percussive sounds of found-object instruments and audience participation--equal parts bang-along and sing-along. The family show starts at 6 p.m. The general-audience nightcap starts at 8:30 p.m. --RC
Tegan & Sara
Cat's Cradle
The gentle drift of the twin sisters' magnetic harmonies abet their bright folk melodies and contribute to their ebullient charm. They were punk in bands as teens and are more versatile than your standard folk act, as their third album, So Jealous, indicates. Its crisp textures, clean guitars and shiny synths reveil a decidedly new wave bent that's a nice addition to their repertoire. $12-14/8:15 p.m. --CP
Sunday, July 10
David Mead & Nathan Asher
The Pour House
Two brothers, one making ladies swoon in a '67 427/435 Corvette (top speed too high to know, grace too high to calculate) and the other tapping into a different set of friends in a '67 GMC pickup truck (top speed too low to admit, sheer power too great to deny). Graceful country pop comes from David Mead in his 'Vette, and Nathan Asher delivers impassioned Springsteen folk with the tailgate down. $5/8 p.m. --GC
Fantastic Four: Representing the Four Elements of Hip Hop
Hayti Heritage Center
By breaking down hip-hop culture into its essentials--DJing, b-boying/b-girling, MCing and graffiti art--St. Joseph's Historic Foundation and the Hayti look to educate as well as entertain, or as pioneer of culturally conscious music KRS One calls it, "edutainment." Hosted by Kat Summers of K97.5, poet Dasan Ahanu and DJ India of WXDU, with spins by DJ Skaz of the Butta Team. 6 p.m. --CT
Monday, July 11
Black Socks, Spader, Creeping Weeds
An eclectic bill, for sure: STRANGE's Vince Carmody taps into that paradoxical warm chill of introspective electronica for solo side-project Black Socks, bundling threads of loneliness--skittering laptopian beats, Casio-tone ease, unresolved organ lengths and the fuzz of internal intimacy. Spader's forthcoming album with Zeno Gill is in the can, so their three-piece, streamlined disco dance punk should be in fine form. 9 p.m. --GC
White Mice, The Coughs
Like Pete Shelley says, noise annoys, but doubtfully anyone's mom will be screaming along to White Mice and The Coughs. Providence's White Mice could've been lab subjects. Their wallop of oscillators, bass and drums seems like Godheadsilos' distant cousins. Chicago's six-piece Coughs stomp sheet metal until it reverberates to your core. Fractured meta-prog locals Cantwell Gomez & Jordan open. $5/9 p.m. --EW
Tuesday, July 12
Grayson Capps & The Stumpknockers
The Pour House
A Down South poet/slide guitarist/songwriter/troubleman who was conceived in a back seat in Alabama before being born into a post-hippy idealism 30 years before tasting the fringe accoutrements of fame in his first band, Stavin'Chain, I can relate to Grayson Capps, and it has little to do with names. It's because Capps writes about life--mine, yours and his--right down from the bust-ups and breakdowns high on to the dreams and drama intermissions. Free/8 p.m. --GC
Groovie Ghoulies, Teenage Harlets, Teenage Bottlerocket
The Teenage Kicks Summer Tour is at Kings with three stands of maximum rock 'n' roll for your tattooed, greased hair or gutter preferences. Consistently detonating neon-based punk is how Groovie Ghoulies roll, Sacramento style, since the mid-'90s. They are still the best of the post-Lookout camp. 10 p.m. --EW

10 incredibly upbeat K-pop songs to chase away the winter blues
The last few weeks of winter always feels like it's never going to end. It can be hard to keep going and not get too down by the cold days, the short hours of sunlight and grey, gloomy weather. Don't worry, K-pop has a way of easing all troubles. We've carefully calibrated a list of our top 10 favorite upbeat K-pop songs from BTS and Red Velvet to Dynamic Duo to help you get through those last few weeks of winter. Turn the volume up, get dancing and make some sunshine of your own.
1. Dynamic Duo - Jam
Looking for a smooth and sophisticated song to jam to? This is your song! A mix of strings, synthesizer, funky bass and smooth rapping lends itself to some beautiful harmonies from these guys. Some of the lyrics including "We're feeling like we're on top" can't help but get you smiling and bopping your head. "Jam" is such an addictive song you'll find yourself going back to it again and again....and again. Not to mention the hilarious and creative video that no one should miss.
2. Day 6 - Freely Free
From Day 6's EP, "Freely" is a light and poppy tune that makes its way into a dance song. Although, it doesn't go full fledged into the electronic dance music scene sticking with a slightly more alternative/rock sound. It's a great song from an incredible band that will get almost anyone dancing along.
3. Seventeen - Mansae
Although I'm always slightly cautious of the music newer boy bands are going to produce, I've been amazed at the quality of Seventeen's music since their debut, both musically and visually. "Mansae" has the band's trademark funky beats and impressive rapping ad libs but goes even further into exploring all their talents and shows how diverse the band really is.
4. Red Velvet - Dumb Dumb
"Dumb Dumb" is one of those songs that starts off being fairly catchy but very quickly works itself into your head as an addictive and exciting song. Although sometimes the song feels a bit like it's gone off the rails Red Velvet commands it with confidence and ease despite the constant changes of direction. As busy as this song is, it's also very balanced. It's quite a masterpiece in songwriting and very fun to listen to.
5. Mamamoo and eSNa - Ahh Oop!
Want a straight up cheerful song? Listen to "Ahh Oop!". Even more fun- it's a great song to put on when you're riding in the car with your girlfriends heading out to a girls night out. With it's powerful and strong theme of female independence, it's definitely an anthem for girl power in the best way possible.
6. Big Bang - Sober
Although the lyrics and story of this song are not all that upbeat, the song itself has that anthem feel which is oh so fun to listen to. There is so much to unpack in both this video and song, showcasing the incredible talent of Big Bang and proving why they are so beloved by their fans and respected by peers.
7. Sleepy and Song Jieun - Cool Night
This duet featuring Secret's Ji Eun and Untouchables Sleepy is so smooth and relaxed it can't help but make you think of warm summer days and happy memories spent with someone you love. It's a great wind down song that is still cheerful and upbeat.
8. Miss A - Only You
The four ladies in Miss A have proven once again, their incredible talent, beauty and fun personalities with the track "Only You". Within 72 hours of its release in April 2015 it had garnered two million views proving that these girls are killing it in the K-pop girl band scene. The video is fun and the bright colors and beautiful faces certainly make it easy on the eyes.
9. Day 6 - Like The Sun
This list gets two Day 6 songs, proving that their whole EP is definitely worth a good listen to. This song is not only bright and catchy but also has that upbeat dance rhythm making it a song we want to dance to. This song culminates all their talents into a well packaged and very easy on the ears song. You can practically hear the smile on their faces when they are singing. I dare you not to smile while listening to this song- I don't think it's possible.
10. BTS - Dope
Like the title of the song, this song is straight up dope! (Was that too 90's for you?). BTS is one of my favorite bands in the K-pop scene. They always have a strong and hopeful message, saying that they won't let anything get them down. Their music is gritty and raw while still maintaining their upbeat and catchy sound. And their dance moves are insane to watch. I can watch their videos over and over again because it's sometimes hard to believe people can actually move like that.
What songs do you turn to when you need a pick-me-up? We'd love to hear your suggestions. Comment below!
