text: Long Island Defective Product Lawyer Accidents and Injuries Involving Defective Products Whenever someone manufactures a good, that person is required to follow a certain set of regulations that ensure the product is safe for general use. Cars, for example, must have working brakes; children's cribs cannot be built in such a way that they cause accidental suffocation. Sadly, many companies cut corners to increase their profits and the result is a product that can cause harm to the consumer. Defective products can be found in a wide range of industries, including: Children's toys Appliances Automobiles Recreational equipment Sporting equipment Tools Pharmaceutical drugs Why Are Defective Products Even an Issue? Production demands and the never-ending drive for increased profits can result in a company using substandard parts to build a product and/or sell it without proper testing. A product can also be defective due to a poor design, or come with inadequate warning labels or instructions for its use. When a defective product causes injuries, the manufacturer and any third parties responsible for the defect, can be held liable for damages. If you or a loved one were injured by a defective product, contact a Long Island personal injury lawyer from The Odierno Law Firm, P.C. to find out if you qualify for compensation due to the manufacturer's negligence. Fighting for Victims' Rights on Long Island If you were injured by a defective product in a job-related accident, you may already be receiving workers' compensation to cover your medical expenses and the costs of rehabilitation. Many times a civil lawsuit can also be filed against the manufacturer of the product that caused the accident, however. This can extend your compensation and include damages for the following: Pain Suffering Emotional trauma You have a right to pursue whatever options you have regarding compensation, and you should take advantage of any opportunity to cover your injury-related losses.

Learning Roundup Week 36
This week, we practised identifying the character traits of characters in books we have read and provided evidence, for example "Harry Potter is brave because in the stories he faces Voldemort and takes risks to save his friends". The students learnt some new adjectives to describe people. The students did a lot of writing this week for their Unit of Inquiry, writing reflections and making a booklet about forces.
We continued with work on 3D shapes this week, with students creating boxes to fit different numbers of cubes. They had to work out the base of the box and the number of 'layers' the box would have. These activities build a conceptual understanding that will lead into the concept of volume later in the curriculum.
Unit of Inquiry
The students worked on understanding Newton's Third Law of Motion this week through watching rocket launches and finding out how to make a balloon car. They started reviewing and 'sorting out' all the ideas we've studied so far by making a non-fiction book about forces. Meanwhile, the marble runs are nearing completion. The students have been testing their designs and reflecting on their process of plan-build-test-evaluate.

Association of Cities and Regionsfor sustainable Resource management
Four new factsheets on circular economy cases in Scotland have been published on the Circular Europe Network's database by ACR+, overviewing good practices implemented by ACR+ member Zero Waste Scotland, related to resource efficiency, circular economy investments, circular economy business support services as well as the decision to introduced a minimum 5p charge for single use carrier bags.
The 2nd COLLECTORS public conference will be held in Malta on 26 September 2018, hosted by ACR+ member Wasteserv Malta, the company in charge of waste management on the island. The conference will gather representatives of several European cities and regions to discuss the challenges faced by islands and remote areas when it comes to waste recycling.
The BLUEISLANDS project is heading towards its mid-term and the studying phase is well underway. The past months have been very active for the whole partnership, with a successful international conference in Brussels, the launch of a Charter of commitments, and on-going studies on waste generation, marine litter and waste water in the pilot islands.
The report suggests an approach for local and regional authorities to recognise circular companies while taking into consideration the fact that circular economy is de facto plural and covers multilple facets. It offers a multi-criteria grid that can be fulfiled completely or partially by companies according to the reality of their activities.

Justin is AWESOME! He is inspiring and motivating. I love his classes! They are tough and demanding, but Justin gets me through them. I have noticed a great difference in how I feel and look. Since I started boxing/kickboxing, I find that I have more energy throughout the day. I am also more fit and toned. As Justin says, it takes "hard work and dedication" to accomplish goals. With Justin's motivation and guidance, I am on my way to accomplish mine. Thank you Justin!!!
I worked out with Andrew from mid April 2014 to early July 2014 on every weekday. We focussed on kickboxing (outdoor), core stability and functional trainning (outdoor) and weight training (at the gym). Andrew is not only very knowledgeable in the field exercise but also very focused and detail oriented. From day one to the end he was very patient and purely centered on helping me reach my goals. He is not only a top professional in his field, but also most fun and pleasant to be with. He is motivated and he kept motivating me. He didnt miss one single lesson and was on time perfectly for every appointment. When I return to Miami again, I will only want to work out with Andrew.

It's pretty cool.), and he implements the same kind of dedication and hard work for his clients. (I know this firsthand since I am a former client. I trained with him for 2 years.)

As a parent of two children who have been in LMA's program for several years and someone who has personally attended classes, I can not say enough positive things about this school, it's staff, or the owner. In the time we have been part of the LMA family, my children have had more than exemplary martial arts training. They have gained self confidence and self discipline, with a healthy mindset about fitness. They have strengthened the morals and values we have instilled in them, as well as their attitude towards responsibility...and they have fun!! On a personal note, I have thoroughly enjoyed the fitness kickboxing classes. Not only did I get back into shape(a total of almost 20 pounds), but I learned how to defend myself....fun and empowering!!

After 24 hours of labor, Kira the gorilla had not progressed and was beginning to tire and show signs she was feeling worse.
The Philadelphia Zoo had to act fast if they were going to save Kira and her baby. So they brought in a team of veterinarians and regular doctors to perform an emergency delivery using procedures and equipment similar to those used in human deliveries -- and it worked.
The 17-year-old Western lowland gorilla successfully delivered a healthy five pound baby boy.
Zoo keepers cared for the newborn for about 24 hours until Kira, who was placed under anesthesia for the delivery, recovered. She has been cradling and nursing him ever since, the zoo reported.
"Though Kira is a first-time mom, we're not surprised she's acting like an expert already. She was a great older sister to younger siblings and has been very attentive while our other female gorilla Honi has raised baby Amani," Dr. Andy Baker, Philadelphia Zoo's Chief Operating Officer, said. "Everybody is excited about these two future playmates."
Philadelphia Zoo welcomed a new addition – an adorable baby gorilla born to Kira and Motuba! https://t.co/zst8KsfV9Q pic.twitter.com/nPoWqM9MGs— Philadelphia Zoo (@phillyzoo) 6 Ιουνίου 2017

Recap: What Auburn targets and commits are saying at the Under Armour All-America Game
It's been a busy first few days in Orlando, Fla., the scene of the annual Under Armour All-America game featuring some of the top prospects in the country.
As National Signing Day inches closer, we take a look at what a few Auburn targets and commits had to say about their standing with the Tigers and their upcoming plans.
1. Eli Stove, four-star WR, Niceville, Fla.
Recap: Stove joked to reporters on Tuesday that his father may consider Florida a better option than Auburn. Stove, who has shown interest in the Gators in recent months, appears open to the possibility, too. The four-star receiver confirmed to SEC Country he will take official visits to Auburn (Jan. 15), Florida (Jan. 22) and Miami (Jan. 29) in the coming weeks, further clouding his commitment status with the Tigers.
What it means: Stove appears to be a priority for the Gators and has been in recent months. He's developed a strong relationship with wide receivers coach Kerry Dixon, though he admitted he's closer with Auburn's Dameyune Craig. Nonetheless, Stove will take his official visit to Gainesville, Fla., in the coming weeks and he acknowledged his decision will likely come down to both programs come signing day.
2. Nate Craig-Myers, four-star WR, Tampa, Fla.
Recap: Craig-Myers, a one-time Auburn pledge, confirmed to SEC Country earlier in the week that Auburn, Ole Miss, North Carolina, Florida and Florida State will each have a hat on the table come signing day. And when asked what school(s) could land the Under Armour All-American and his brother, four-star cornerback Jayvaughn Myers, both said Auburn.
"I'd probably say the only one that I could see both of us playing at is Auburn," said Jayvaughn Myers, who then predicted that his brother will re-commit to the Tigers. "I know for sure he likes them a lot."
What it means: It's not all too common for a one-time commit to pledge back to a program he de-committed from in earlier months, but that could be a possibility for Craig-Myers judging by his brother's recent comments.
3. E.J. Price, four-star OT, Lawrenceville, Ga.
Recap: In recent months, Price had maintained that Georgia and Auburn were his co-leaders. But while speaking to multiple reporters in Orlando, Fla., during check-ins at the Under Armour All-America game on Monday, that no longer appears to be the case.
Per 247Sports.com's Luke Stampini, Price listed Oklahoma, USC and Georgia among his favorites. The Tigers, however, appear to be on the outside looking in — at least for now.
What it means: The 6-foot-6, 311-pound senior from Lawrenceville, Ga., took to Twitter later that evening to clarify his comments, and he indicated his top schools are not final. That could bode well for the Tigers, who will receive an official visit from Price on Jan. 29, just days before he is expected to announce his decision. A last-second trip could alter his final schools.
4. Woody Barrett, four-star QB, Lawrenceville, Ga.
Recap: The one-time Auburn commit, Craig-Myers, will be catching passes from current Tigers commit Woody Barrett this weekend, as the two highly touted prospects participate in the annual Under Armour All-America game in Orlando, Fla.
And while Barrett, a four-star quarterback, says his focus isn't on recruiting prospects to Auburn, he offered his thoughts on the Tigers' chances of luring Craig-Myers back to The Plains after he de-committed in May.
"I think we have a pretty good shot," Barrett, the No. 4 dual-threat quarterback in the nation, told SEC Country. "We haven't really talked about it yet. Right now, we're just relaxing and enjoying ourselves."
What it means: Barrett maintained he wasn't trying to press the issue with Craig-Myers, who will officially visit Auburn in January, but he appeared optimistic about the Tigers' chances of landing the elite Florida receiver. Barrett says he isn't using this week as an opportunity to recruit, but hinted that he wouldn't mind a few uncommitted receivers following him to Auburn.

Previews: Terry and Bridge in spotlight
LONDON - Round-up of team news ahead of this weekend's Premier League games:
All eyes will be on Stamford Bridge on Saturday and on whether Wayne Bridge takes his place in the Manchester City side to face Chelsea - and John Terry.
If the left back, who ruled himself out of contention for the England team on Thursday because of his personal differences with Terry, does play he could have an awkward moment in the pre-match handshake ritual.
City, who have looked desperately short of ideas in recent weeks, welcome back Carlos Tevez after the striker returned from Argentina where he had spent time with his wife and premature baby.
Emmanuel Adebayour will be out as he serves the first game of a four-match suspension following his midweek red card, while midfielder Patrick Vieira is also suspended.
Chelsea will be without goalkeeper Petr Cech, who tore a calf muscle in Wednesday's Champions League match at Inter Milan. He is expected to be out of action for a month, with Hilario deputising.
Arsenal will be missing forward Andrei Arshavin, midfielder Abou Diaby and defender William Gallas for their trip to Stoke on Saturday, though Croatian striker Eduardo could make a return after missing the last five Arsenal matches.
Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill, who suffered a blood clot in his arm earlier this month and had been expected to be out for several months, will return to light training in two weeks.
Tottenham Hotspur hope to welcome back Vedran Corluka and Wilson Palacios from illness for the visit of Everton on Sunday.
Strikers Jermain Defoe (hamstring) and Peter Crouch (foot) could be available but Ledley King (thigh) is sidelined.
Liverpool will be without Martin Skrtel for the visit of Blackburn Rovers on Sunday after the Slovakia defender broke a metatarsal in his right foot during their midweek Europa League victory at Unirea Urziceni.
Full-back Glen Johnson returned to first team training on Friday but manager Rafael Benitez said he would not be risked. "I was watching him and he was quite sharp. But Sunday will be too soon," Benitez told the club website.

This guy wanted to charge me about $500 to refill a small filling. $400 after insurance. Walked out of there as fast as I could, he's out of his damn mind.
Dr. Leonard Russell and his staff make visiting the dentist a pleasurable experience. We are a retired military family with 22 moves under our belt and 22 dentists from which to draw our conclusion from. Dr. Russell is by far the most educated and experienced doctor who can provide the most modern and advanced dental technology that you require. He and his staff listen to you and explain the procedure (s) you need with clarity and knowledge. I had a root canal done yesterday and the procedure was done with such a great staff, effortless professionalism, ease and comfort, that I had to write this review today. Since there is a link between one's health and dental care, we admire Dr. Russell's ability to create beautiful smiles.
Just moved here from Columbus and nervous about dealing with the process of finding a new dentist. Yesterday I walked out of another local dentist due to service and professionalism... Here at Dr. Russell's I was entirely blown away by how comfortable the environment was, the level of care, and how accommodating the entire staff was. I'll be back for future needs.
This place is great, everyone is super nice and friendly, and they use great techniques and sophisticated equipment in their practice of dentistry
I know Dr. Russell professionally and he is a very knowledgeable, ethical individual. He has a great reputation as a dentist and demonstrates leadership in the community. He is an important member of many dental-related organizations. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

If you think you spoil your dogs, you should see what these dogs get!
By Justyne Yuen-Lee

If money were no object, we'd probably shower our dogs with many more lavish treats much more often. Our pets wouldn't know what it would be like to fly on a commercial flight since they'd only fly on our private jet. Their life would be full of days at the spa, only brand name accessories, the best dog carriers, and even a private dog butler. Forget about buying a big pack of dog food – your dog would be able to have something different for every meal with only the best organic ingredients.
But, we can only dream of a life where we can spoil our dogs and ourselves. To celebrities, it's a reality and they take their money and throw it all over their pups!
Here are a few celebrities who will spend anything on their precious dogs!
1. Britney Spears

Pop Princess Britney Spears, now queen arguably, is rumored to have dropped $30 grand on her dogs in 2016! That's a small mortgage down payment – excuse my home buying reference, but I'm a millennial! I don't even know what $30 000 looks like.
Credit: Instagram / @britneyspears
Every part of Britney's life is fabulous and it's been fabulous since she debuted. They call her lucky because she's a star (quick, what song is that?), and her most recent project is promoting her new fragrance. She's still as gorgeous as ever!
Credit: Instagram / @samasghari
Did we mention that this is her boyfriend? Britney Spears has been goals since the 90s and nothing is slowing her down!
But Britney's spending is just the tip of the iceberg – there are other celebs who spend even more!
2. Mariah Carey

When it comes to Mariah Carey, it seems like she's always doing The Most™. And her dogs are no exception. Her Jack Russell Terriers, Cha Cha and Jill E. Beans get $45 000 worth of SPA treatments!
Credit: Instagram / @mariahcarey
Would you expect anything less from her – she's surrounded by everything fabulous including Beyoncé! We wish we were casual friends with Beyoncé.
Credit: Instagram / @mariahcarey
Besides spending $2000 a dog for first class seats on an airplane, Mariah spoils her twins, Monroe and Moroccan, every day.
Credit: Instagram / @mariahcarey
Mariah even has an animated movie starring none other than herself! All I Want For Christmas stars herself and even a cartoon version of her Jack Russells!
Love knows no bounds – we'd probably do the same if we had that kind of money!
3. Lady Gaga

The ever so talented Lady Gaga has not one, but three French Bulldogs. And while we don't know the exact dollar figure that she spends on her dogs, we can probably guess it's a lot.
Credit: Instagram / @missasiakinney
When it was her oldest Frenchie's birthday, Lady Gaga threw an extravagant birthday party with all the balloons you could imagine! This beats the high five I get for my birthday.
Credit: Instagram / @missasiakinney
Besides her adorable little piggies, apparently Lady Gaga spent $60 000 on 27 Koi fish that she important from Japan! It's nothing but the best for Gaga.
Credit: Instagram / @ladygaga
Like all of us, Lady Gaga spends her hard earned money at Starbucks. Starbucks even created a Gaga inspired Pink Drink for her in support of the BTW Foundation!
We can't talk about spoiled pets without mentioning this heiress!
4. Paris Hilton
Credit: Instagram / @parishilton
Being an heiress must be exhausting with all the partying and modelling and just ignoring media – as we say that, we are half sarcastic and half in awe with her life.
Credit: Instagram / @parishilton
Paris is known to always have some pets running around, not only in her mansion, but their own mansion. She is also known to spend a whole lot of Benjamins on getting her pets too!
Credit: Instagram / @hiltonpets
Paris had a Doggy Mansion built for the Hilton Pets in her backyard. It's big enough to fit a few people with its two stories, has air conditioning, a picket fence, and a well-manicured lawn.
Credit: Instagram / @parishilton
If only we could trade lives with Paris for a day. Then we could also get invited to fabulous parties and have at least 5 pets.
If you could, would you spend that much money on your pet?

Buy Generic Loperamide Online
Below you may find a list of medicines that contain active ingredient Loperamide.
2mgImodium is usually not prescribed. It is an over the counter medication that is designed to reduce the rate at which the body digests food, allowing more time for the small intestines to absorb liquid material. This process helps to curb diarrhea. Imodium can be purchased under varying brand names, including Imodium AD, Imotil, Maalox, Kaopectate, and generically as loperamide. Imodium is used for people who have short term diarrhea. It is also commonly used to reduce the volume of waste produced in patients who have had an ileostomy. This is a surgical procedure that redirects the passage of bowels through a hole in the stomach.

The August recess for Congress is here, making it a critical time for you to engage with your elected officials. Representatives began their break on July 28, and the Senate a few days later on August 3. Congress will be back in session after the Labor Day weekend on September 5.
This document will arm you with the information you need to ask challenging, hard-hitting questions of your representatives at town halls, meetings or other events. The RISE Stronger Policy Working Group Program has prepared for you overviews of key topics on the national agenda across a range of areas, including the economy and jobs; education; energy and the environment; ethics and open government; foreign policy and national security; healthcare; infrastructure and urban policy; justice and civil liberties; science and technology; and trade and development. These key issues are summarized with background information and relevant questions for you to ask, as well as additional resources for you to better understand the topic. A PDF version of the document is available here.
Economy & Jobs
Trump attacking overtime pay for low-salaried workers. In 2016, the Obama administration expanded the right to overtime pay to more than four million salaried workers who make less than $47,500 per year. But the Trump administration has distanced itself from the Obama-era rule in court, signaling that it intends to issue a watered-down replacement rule that would protect fewer workers.
Additional background can be found in this article from NPR.
Questions for your representatives:
- Do you feel that workers making $47,500 a year or less should be entitled to overtime pay? If so, what will you do to stop the Trump administration from taking away these workers' rights to fair pay?
Senate Democrats' bipartisan tax reform principles. The Republicans have stated that tax reform is their top priority upon returning from recess. Democrats in the Senate have said that they are willing to negotiate a bipartisan tax reform bill, as long as the Republicans agree to three principles:
- There won't be an increase in the tax burden on the middle class or a tax cut for the wealthiest one percent;
- a) This shouldn't be controversial as Treasury Secretary Mnuchin said in his confirmation hearing that there shouldn't be a tax cut for the rich
- Any tax cuts won't increase the deficit; and
- The bill will go through the regular Senate process and won't require 60 votes.
Questions for your representatives:
- Are you willing to sign on to these principles and work to negotiate tax reform on a bipartisan basis? If not, which ones do you disagree with?
Undermining civil rights in education. The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) is stepping back from advances in civil rights investigations in public and higher education that were put in place by the Obama administration. The Department seeks to abandon policies that broadened investigations for individual complaints into systemic inquiries when evidence revealed violations that affected a class of victims. Additionally, the Department is reversing the Obama-era practice of requesting regional offices to notify headquarters in Washington about highly sensitive complaints. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos states that those practices increased the total number of investigations and resulted in a backlog of cases. Yet DeVos's proposed reductions to staffing in the office will result in even longer delays in the completion of investigations. DOE staffers under Obama counter that discriminatory practices, such as expulsion of a student with a disability without appropriate procedural protections, are often not isolated events, but rather errors repeated throughout the school or district that affect many other students. The Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights was founded with the overarching goal of protecting the civil rights of all students, not just those with the knowledge and wherewithal to file complaints.
Civil rights are also under attack at the Department of Education in other areas. Under DeVos, the Department has also criticized "Dear Colleague" letters, which the previous administration posted on the web to help provide compliance guidance to school districts and educate the public about educational rights and obligations under OCR's purview. The effectiveness of the "Dear Colleague" letters was demonstrated by a 20 percent reduction in national suspension rates in schools in two years after the publication of a letter addressing the issue. Finally, the Department has removed guidance on transgender students, thereby removing protections for some of the schools' most vulnerable students.
Questions for your representatives:
- How can the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights fulfill its mission of ensuring equal access to education and promoting educational excellence through vigorous enforcement of civil rights in our nation's schools if it reduces its staffing, restricts its activities and investigations only to responding directly to complaints brought by a small number of informed people, and ignores evidence of systemic issues?
- Do you support maintaining the current level of staffing in the civil rights office of the Dept. of Education? If not, how do you propose that the civil rights office be able to adequately address legitimate complaints with a reduced staff?
Cuts to the education budget. The proposed budget from the President reduces the overall education budget by 13.5% ($9.2 billion), cutting essential programs such as teacher training, class-size reduction, and after-school programs. Yet the budget also diverts $1 billion to "school choice" programs, a favorite of Trump and of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. Under Trump's proposal for higher education, funding for Pell grants should remain stable, but other programs–including the federal work-study program, which allows students the ability to pay tuition through working part-time jobs, as well as others which provide low-income students with financial assistance–are being significantly reduced. Cuts in the House budget aren't quite as severe as the President's budget, but still reduce education funding by $2.4 billion. Most of the reductions come from the elimination of Title II funds, which primarily go to teacher training and development and reductions to class size. The House budget does not, however, provide for any funding for school choice programs. Any cuts to Medicaid will significantly impact school districts as well, especially in terms of funding for special education. Many of the services provided to students with disabilities—such as language therapy, occupational therapy, and counseling—are funded by Medicaid.
Questions for your representatives:
- Keeping in mind that "school choice" options are not required to educate all students or to meet all students' needs as required of public schools under federal law, do you support diverting federal funds to privatized educational options such as vouchers for private schools or privately-operated charter schools? Or do you support public funds staying with public schools?
- What do you feel are the most important education programs provided for by federal funds, and how will you ensure that the government safeguards those programs?
Energy & Environment
Cutting emissions in the wake of Paris. On June 1, 2017, President Trump announced that the United States intends to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. The Paris Climate Agreement is a landmark agreement signed in 2015 by 195 countries to combat global climate change. Its central aim is to strengthen the global response to climate change by keeping a global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Under the Agreement, countries voluntarily put forward their self-defined emission reduction goals through "nationally determined contributions" and regularly report their emissions and implementation efforts. The United States pledged to cut domestic greenhouse gas emissions by 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025 and is already halfway towards its goal, having cut emissions by 14 percent. Upon withdrawal, the United States will join Syria and Nicaragua as the only countries not participating in the Agreement. Nicaragua did not sign because it did not think the Agreement did enough to combat climate change; Syria was in the midst of a civil war.
Questions for your representatives:
- Even though the United States has announced its intention to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, do you believe that we should still work towards reducing our emissions?
- What steps do you plan to take to help the United States join the rest of the world in reducing emissions and fighting climate change?
Protecting our air and water. The Trump administration has begun rolling back of rules that protect our air and water. In one example, Executive Order 13778 directed the EPA to rescind or revise the Waters of the United States Rule, which broadly defines the EPA's jurisdiction over "navigable waters of the United States" and enables the EPA to regulate pollution in non-permanent streams and wetlands that feed drinking water sources and larger waterways. The EPA now plans to replace the Obama-era Waters of the United States Rule with a narrower interpretation of the EPA's jurisdiction, only allowing the EPA to regulate pollution in waters that contain "a relatively permanent flow" or possess "a continuous surface connection" to waters with a relatively permanent flow. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, the EPA's new proposed rule will remove protections for the streams that feed drinking water sources for one in three Americans. In a second example, the EPA announced that it would delay implementation of an Obama-era rule limiting methane emissions from oil and gas operations for two years in order to "reconsider" the rule. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, however, recently ruled that the EPA could not prevent the regulations from going into effect. The Court told the EPA that if it wishes to undo the rule, then the agency must go through the normal administrative process.
Questions for your representatives:
- In light of the EPA's rollback of rules protecting our air and water from pollution, how will you ensure the air we breathe and the water we drink is safe?
- Given the administration's efforts to revise the Waters of the United States Rule, are you willing to clarify the Clean Water Act to ensure that EPA has the ability to keep streams that flow into drinking water sources clean?
- Are you willing to amend the Clean Air Act to require the EPA the ability to put limits on sources of emissions like oil and gas drilling operations?
Ethics & Open Government
Need for legislation to ensure transparency and good governance. Walter Shaub recently resigned from his position as Director of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) citing clashes with the Trump administration. According to Shaub, the Trump presidency has exposed the inadequacy of our current laws to ensure that all federal employees are held to the standards of transparency and ethical governance that Americans expect and deserve.
Additional background can be found in this article from the New York Times.
Questions for your representatives: Do you support Shaub's proposals that Congress pass legislation to ensure federal employees are held to high ethical standards and are free from conflicts of interest? Specifically, requiring:
- All federal employees, including the President, to disclose business liabilities and debts in entities that they control (as opposed to debts for which they are personally responsible)?
- All federal employees, including the President, disclose assets placed in discretionary trusts (investment vehicles that hold property they can benefit from but which they do not currently control)?
- Presidential and vice-presidential candidates to disclose their tax returns to the FEC and file them with the OGE?
Protecting the special counsel from interference. After the firing of FBI director James Comey and appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate the scope of Russian interference in the 2016 election, various news outlets have reported that the President has sought to undermine the investigation by calling into question Mueller's impartiality, and is considering firing him. On August 3rd, two bipartisan pairs of senators (Sen. Coons (D-DE) & Sen. Tillis (R-NC) and Sen. Booker (D-NJ) & Sen. Graham (R-SC)) introduced legislation to prevent the President from removing Mueller without cause.
For more information on the Russia investigation, please see this Vox article.
Question for your representatives: Do you support these senators' efforts to support Mueller, and what steps are you willing to take to ensure a full and fair investigation of Russia's influence on the 2016 election and the Trump campaign's involvement?
Foreign Policy & National Security
Undermining American diplomacy abroad. The Trump Administration has failed to fill leadership positions and all but frozen hiring at the State Department. Six months after taking office, three quarters of senior positions at the State Department remain unfilled. This administration has virtually abandoned efforts to set effective foreign policy with respect to Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea. It has attempted to undermine a working agreement with Iran out of spite for the last administration. It acquiesced to Russian demands in Syria and last month ended an aid program to the Syrian resistance.
More broadly, Trump has demonstrated weak support for our NATO allies and refused to commit to common goals at the recent G-20 meetings. Congress has started to notice and to some extent it has responded: it has pushed back against the proposed 30 percent reduction to the State Department budget, and recently passed sanctions bills against Russia and Iran with veto-proof margins.
Additional background can be found in this article from the Washington Post.
Questions for your representatives:
- Why do you think the Trump Administration has withdrawn America from its global leadership position? Is this an example of Trump saying one thing and doing another? Or is this White House determined to destroy U.S. capacity to deal with global challenges just to refute his predecessor?
- If Trump abdicates -- or actively weakens -- the Executive's foreign policy responsibilities, what should the Congress do to maintain them?
- How has your Representative or Senator responded to the White House's foreign policy failures?
Bolstering China's influence in Asia. One of the first acts of the Trump Administration was to withdraw the United States from the Trans Pacific Partnership. The intended effect was to assert an "America First" economic foreign policy that prioritized bilateral relations over multilateral agreements. The real effect has been to drive Pacific nations into the Chinese sphere of influence. China has indirectly or directly threatened military action against multiple Southeast Asian nations who have territorial claims in the South China Sea. It has created islands using military personnel in other countries' territorial waters, but without recent response from the United States. This is finally coming to a head; last week (July 25), Vietnam and the Philippines announced that they would acquiesce to Chinese "partner requests" on developing natural resources in the South China Sea, a key Chinese demand.
Additional background can be found in this article from Foreign Policy magazine.
Questions for your representatives:
- Has the Trump approach toward multilateral agreements been successful in securing the interests of the United States? Or has it had the opposite effect -- of ultimately strengthening adversaries and competitor nations at the expense of the interests of the United States and the West?
- Will allowing China to dominate Pacific nations threaten U.S. interests for Congress to respond, and how will it affect your community? Will the cost of common goods rise? Southeast Asia is a major consumer of high margin American products (e.g., alcohol, luxury brand goods, etc.); will "uniquely American" jobs and industries disappear as markets for American goods become less open?
Trump administration links with Russia. Every week -- if not every day -- the Trump Administration's ties to Russia are becoming more apparent. For a president who claims to put "America First", this White House seems to prioritize the interests of one of America's longest standing adversaries. Russia has directly threatened American allies and undermined or outright invaded neighboring countries. Instead of denouncing such violations of international law, the Trump Administration has praised its authoritarian leader. In the last month, the President's son and son-in-law both admitted meeting with foreign officials to coordinate political activities. Some members of Congress are attempting to revoke the security clearances of certain individuals close to the president, citing multiple questionable activities with respect to Russia.
Questions for your representatives:
- Do you think that this behavior is acceptable for the President of the United States?
- Russia is one of the few countries with the capacity to harm Americans even far from the coast; are you concerned about threats to America's allies?
- How has your member of Congress or Senator responded to the White House's coziness with a hostile foreign power?
Efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA, or "Obamacare). Repealing the ACA has been a key policy goal for the Republican Party for many years. While the Senate recently voted down all the versions of repeal and replace (i.e. "Trumpcare") that came to the floor, and most Senators have indicated that they are interested in moving on, there continues to be rumblings of bringing back another vote to the floor--something which is being pushed by the White House. Senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Dean Heller (R-NV) are working on a proposal that would change Medicaid into block grants. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) is working on an amendment to increase Medicaid funding to sweeten the deal for moderates to induce them to vote for repeal. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is continuing to push his proposal to allow states to opt out of ACA regulations. Nothing is likely to happen with these proposals until the fall.
Every member of Congress has now voted on repeal and replace, from the House vote in May to the Senate vote last week. We need to continue to hold them accountable for those votes to repeal. If you live in a state with Senators who are still pushing for repeal, continue to pressure them with phone calls, town hall visits, and protests that they stop. It helps to include in your protests the specific numbers for how many people in that district or state would have lost insurance if that vote had become law. We need to applaud every Democratic Representative and Senator as well as Senators Collins, Murkowski, and McCain who voted no on repeal and replace and let them know how grateful we are for defeating Trumpcare. Even if you are not in the districts or states of these members, you can still send them a thank you, by phone, text, email or social media. Because if a new Trumpcare bill should make its way to Congress for a vote, we need these members to hold fast and continue to vote no.
Questions for your representatives:
- Why are some Republicans continuing to force repeal and replace bills, instead of focusing on a bipartisan approach to stabilizing the individual markets? Why would Congress continue down a road that will deprive millions of Americans of their health insurance and not correct the problems of high costs of healthcare nor increase access to health insurance?
Undermining ACA cost-sharing reduction (CSR) payments. Passing a repeal and replace bill is not the only way that Trump and the Republicans can damage the ACA. They can attack it from the regulatory side, and the immediate concern would be if the Trump administration refuses to continue CSR payments. These are payments to help lower the cost of premiums and deductibles for low income and moderate income Americans who purchase their insurance through the individual marketplaces. These payments are made directly to the insurance companies and are not a give-away or bailout for the insurance companies, as Trump has alleged, but compensation for reduced revenues. Without these CSR payments, premiums will rise, and insurance will cease to be affordable for millions of Americans and many insurance companies will exit the marketplaces. Just the uncertainty over this issue is liable to contribute to premium increases and many insurance companies pulling out of the exchanges.
Some Republican members of Congress have been pushing back against Trump's statements to stop the subsidies and let the ACA implode. Senator Lamar Alexander (R- TN) and Representative Charlie Dent (R- PA) have indicated that the administration should publicly state that the subsidies will continue. It has also been reported that over 40 members of the House, Republican and Democrats, are looking for a bipartisan approach to fixing the ACA which would include making the CSRs permanent. Send messages to Alexander and Dent and let them know we support their bucking their party and the administration on this important issue. We need to make our support of continuing these CSR payments a top priority. Each member of Congress should be questioned on where they stand on this issue. With phone calls, texts, emails, social media posts, posters at rallies and questions at town halls, we need to loudly and clearly protest any attempt to weaken or withdraw these CSR payments.
Questions for your representatives:
- What are you doing to make the administration commit to continuing CSR payments?
- What are you doing to help stabilize insurance markets in light of the uncertainty coming from the administration?
Infrastructure & Urban Policy
Lack of leadership on infrastructure issues. At present it is unclear when the president will roll out the specifics of his proposed infrastructure plan, or how it will fit into a congressional agenda bogged down by a stalled health care bill, a desire to overhaul the tax code, planned measures to lift the debt ceiling and a budget plan that includes infrastructure spending cuts. The infrastructure policy that the President supports, appears to "sell off America" to Wall Street investors. He has said private investors will collect their returns by creating toll roads, increasing fees or finding other sources of revenue to get a return on their investment. The draft budget also indicates that HUD will suffer a net loss in their budget, seeing its total funding reduced from $48.5 billion to $42.5 billion. Many programs set to be eliminated are essential to the lower income senior population.
Questions for your representatives:
- The administration has shown no evidence of its desire to invest in public infrastructure. What will you do to ensure that essential funds are secured to make critical, overdue fixes to our nation's infrastructure?
- Is the President's proposal that the private sector invest in our crumbling infrastructure realistic, if they lack any reasonable option of recouping their investments?
- What will you do to ensure that seniors and other vulnerable individuals are protected and their access to safe, affordable housing is ensured?
Justice & Civil Liberties
Attacks on criminal justice reform. Under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Trump Department of Justice has begun or signaled a rollback of many bipartisan criminal justice reform efforts such as marijuana decriminalization, supervision of police departments that systematically violate civil rights, and limits on civil asset forfeiture. These efforts keep law enforcement accountable and promote community policing. Civil asset forfeiture, the practice of seizing a criminal suspect's assets before they are ever convicted of a crime, has drawn especially broad criticism from both left and right.
Questions for your representatives:
- What are you doing to fight the system of mass incarceration and other miscarriages of justice in the criminal justice system?
- How can law enforcement build trust with the communities they serve when the Department of Justice sets a retrograde example on issues like civil asset forfeiture and the war on drugs?
Science & Technology
Scientific and domestic programs underfunded in FY18 budget proposals. On October 1, 2017, the federal government will begin its 2018 fiscal year (FY18). Congress will need to have passed a new budget--or a continuing resolution--by then in order to avoid a government shutdown. Because Congress left for its August recess without a new budget in place, the FY18 budget will be a key issue during the August recess and after Congress returns to Washington, DC, in September. In his FY18 budget, President Trump proposed slashing $54 billion (10.9%) from non-defense discretionary spending. This would include draconian cuts to scientific programs, including a shocking $7.7 billion (22%) cut to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and an unprecedented $776 million (11%) cut to the National Science Foundation (NSF). While Congress is not expected to take the President's most extreme recommendations, House Republicans are still considering cutting $7.5 billion from non-defense spending, including deep cuts to scientific programs. Some of the most significant reductions would be the elimination of the Advanced Research Project Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), a $1 billion (48%) cut to the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), a $528 million (6.5%) cut to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and a $217 million (11%) cut to the Earth Science division at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Even if budgets remained flat in FY18, important government programs would remain underfunded because federal spending has been constrained by severe spending caps since the sequester went into effect in 2013. However, on top of this, Republicans are still proposing additional cuts to scientific and other domestic programs this year. Thus, it is important for Americans to speak up in support of these important government programs that help build our society, support our local communities, and make the world a better place.
Questions for your representatives:
- How can the US remain competitive globally in the face of flat or declining budgets to science and research programs?
- Why is Congress not providing more support to key programs that help keep us safe and healthy by better understanding extreme weather, climate change, the environment, human health and disease, and other threats and dangers that would only be revealed through research?
- How will you ensure that innovation and research and development (R&D) are funded at levels high enough to keep our economy competitive with countries like China?
- What are you doing to ensure our communities are healthy with such severe budget cuts to key programs in the EPA?
Critical administration science and technology posts remain unfilled. Six months into the Trump administration, many critical science positions remain vacant, including the directors for NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the US Geological Survey (USGS). Top science advisors at the EPA, the DOE, and the Department of Defense have either been fired or have departed, and their positions remain unfilled. The administration's lack of leadership on science and technology matters has been wide ranging and appears to demonstrate a desire to largely sideline government science and technology unrelated to the military. The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) has been reduced from 100 to 35 staffers, and there is no current White House science adviser—a person who would normally have a direct contact with the President. This understaffing has real-world effects, such as President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord, which was made without scientific advice within the White House. Furthermore, roles previously held by scientists in other administrations have been filled in this administration by people who have no science background. For example, the Trump-appointed head of the Department of Energy, Rick Perry, replaced a career scientist that had been a physicist prior to heading the DOE. Agriculture undersecretary Sam Clovis, a former economics professor without life-sciences experience, has been nominated to be the new chief scientist at USDA. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, recently suggested largely disbanding its Office of the Coordinator for Cyber Issues (S/CCI). The Office of the Science and Technology Adviser to the Secretary of State (STAS) has been virtually dissolved, with the latest Adviser leaving in July after being told his contract would not be renewed. In other departments, including the Department of the Interior, some 50 senior scientists and staff have been involuntarily reassigned to roles in such an egregious way that it has prompted a congressional investigation. According to reports, some 45 high-level science positions requiring Senate confirmation science positions sit unfilled. Many of these vacant positions are key to protecting the health and welfare of Americans, maintaining the US's position as a global leader in science and technology innovation, and providing national security.
Questions for your representatives:
- What are you doing to ensure that the best science is being used to drive US policy?
- What are you doing to push the administration to fill the many key scientific positions that are currently vacant?
- What are you doing to make sure that the responsibilities federal agencies are being met in the absence of key scientific advisers?
Trade and Development
Trump and Commerce Secretary Ross postured about restricting steel imports, and caused an 18% surge in imports as a result. The report under Section 232 of the 1962 Trade Expansion Act is a part of the process towards unilateral tariff increases, and so provoked countries and companies to act to shift steel into the US ahead of the actions they assumed would follow. Sen Ron Wyden (D-OR) on the on-again, off-again posturing: "There is a real cost to the all the overhyped rhetoric, when the follow-through isn't there. This episode demonstrates how tough talk without a real strategy hurts American workers".
Question for your representatives:
- Why does the administration go back and forth on trade enforcement?
- If there is a problem, why didn't they move forward to protect US industries and workers, and if there isn't a problem, why did they irresponsibly make those accusations to the public and the world?
Members of Congress are circulating a letter to demand transparency about the NAFTA renegotiation. Representatives Debbie Dingell (MI-12) and Bill Pascrell (NJ-9) are calling for access to the negotiating texts for congressional staff, public release of the US proposals, and the appointment of a chief transparency officer.
Question for your representatives:
- Why won't the Administration share details about its plans and positions regarding NAFTA, when the treaty is so critical to so much US economic activity (and thus implicates most Members' districts? Is it really appropriate to hide such a critical process from Congress?
- Given that we're negotiating with one of the countries we trust most, and have incredibly strong ties to, culturally as well as politically, what does the Administration fear from releasing its proposals so that the public can see what we're asking from our cousins to the north? Shouldn't the American public have the same insight into our trade policy that Canadian negotiators get?

Service Reductions: Over the past four years, the Colorado courts have reduced hours of operation, had staff layoffs, and have delayed filling judicial vacancies and vacancies in the clerks' offices and in judicial support positions. They have reduced the use of retired judges. These service reductions have resulted in reduced service to the public.
Efficiency Measures: The Colorado courts have implemented e-filing and will continue to do so in FY13. They have created and implemented an electronic document management system.
The Colorado courts are in a better position than in FY09 to provide access and timely justice, primarily due to decreased case load.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is probably the best LOTR-themed game in recent years, possibly since the tie-in game for Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. It steadily improves as a game through play, strongly conveying the growth in power of the player's character Talion through play as well as story, and in a most welcome change, it exercises moderation in how it touches upon the lore that surrounds Middle-earth. While one of the key draws for LOTR games is being able to explore the environments we've seen in films or read of in the books, the word judicious doesn't come […]Read more »

FIFA 15 is EA Sport's quintessential football simulation. Having played the last 5 iterations of the franchise, it is remarkable to see the subtle yet profound changes that have created what most fans would agree, is their most realistic and challenging game of football. It's become almost a cliche to refer to FIFA's yearly release as "evolutionary" while Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer series, has had to implement "revolutionary" changes to compete with EA's juggernaut. However, while FIFA15 offers the user a myriad of gameplay features, excellent presentation and an engaging multi-player experience, it still leaves this particular virtual football player […]Read more »

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- It's the final days for Foote Homes.
Meanwhile, WREG continues to learn more about the complex' past and how it's impacting the future.
"There are contaminants that have some carcinogenic quality to them," said Memphis Housing Authority Executive Director Marcia Lewis.
Lewis is talking about the results of further testing conducted on the soil at Foote Homes, which revealed among several things, contaminants linked to cancer.
WREG asked, "So, was that worse than you all initially thought it was?"
Lewis replied, "I think it confirmed what we suspected."
NewsChannel 3 obtained a copy of one of the environmental reports and it includes words like "arsenic" and "PCBs".
Tests showed several contaminants in the soil and ground water.
While some results didn't exceed legal limits, there were hot spots with serious toxins.
Lewis says most locations were in grassy areas, away from the homes, but one was near a playground.
"The playgrounds there we wanted to donate them to the parks department but unfortunately, because of the way they're anchored into the ground, that has some contamination in it."
Lewis said the hot spots revealed contamination anywhere from two to four feet beneath the ground.
WREG first reported on the contamination last September, after residents got letters warning them not to dig in the ground during their moves.
"Now I got to wonder about my health, what's going on," said resident Sandra Gilley during that September interview.
WREG has also inquired about the potential health consequences for people who used to live at Foote Homes.
MHA said experts told them previous residents should not have been impacted.
However, there has been an impact on demolition.
Lewis said, "This created a significant delay."
Lewis says after learning more about the contamination, they entered into a voluntary plan with state environmental regulators.
"We told them, here's what we found and here's what we're going to do to ensure that not only we do this work safely, but we make this a safe place to live."
So, Lewis says that additional planning has taken extra time.
Lewis explained how workers have to be cautious with waste removal. She said how things are removed and where they eventually go, all makes a difference.
"For example, lights that may have mercury in them, the thermostats, some of the components of heating and air systems."
The environmental report outlined how soil should be handled. For example, some will be removed, while certain areas will be covered by a protective layer.
Despite the delays, Lewis says they're still on target for final completion in 2021.
The fence surrounding Foote Homes will come down in the next two weeks and a construction barrier will go up in its place.
Lewis said, "You will see all of the demolition, removal of everything from the site, the preparation of the ground."
While South City remains on track according to MHA, WREG is continuing to gather more information about the contamination and its potential effect on former residents.
MHA plans to hold a commemorative ceremony for Foote Homes on May 30th, prior to the start of demolition.
According to Lewis, demolition will run throughout the remainder of 2017 with new construction set to start in 2018.

China Announces Stimulus Package -- The People's Republic of China has announced an economic stimulus package of its own, amounting to almost $600 billion. The government will spend it on housing, earthquake reconstruction, and infrastructure development. In addition, the powers that be have promised an eased monetary policy and lower corporate taxation. The Chinese economy is still steaming along at a 9% annual growth rate, and the package is designed to counteract lessened demand for Chinese goods abroad.
Monks Fight at Church of the Holy Sepulcher -- In another case of "one can't make it up," monks at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem got into a fist fight over the week-end. Followers of the Prince of Peace went at each other, and eventually the Israeli police came into break up the brawl. Both sides blamed each other for the violence, naturally.

A sneak peek into the progress at 3415 Hopkins Street. Now we're getting to the fun part. Look for this project to be hitting the market in the next 4-6 weeks!
Down the hall...
Twin peaks
I pity the fool who doesn't love a shiplap wall.
Not a bad view! Big trees on a deep lot makes for happy homeowners.
Recently, while searching for inspiration for the English Arts & Crafts home we're building at 3415 Hopkins Street, I came across some old sales materials for homes built in this style in the first half of the 20th Century. First of all, so interesting to see a glimpse of another era--and yet, humbling to see how familiar some of it seems. Perhaps we should market our home as having a "sewing room," as well?
We are well under way on the projects at 3415 Hopkins, with framing starting earlier this week. Now we can finally get to the good part: building an incredible home!
As part of this process, we've been making tons of selections on the fixtures and finishes of these homes; a challenging but thrilling process.
We wanted to share some of the ideas and inspiration behind the design, so we've attached the spec sheets we've been developing over the last month. We can't wait to see how these homes turn out! Check out the ideas below:
This lovely, deep, and quiet lot in the heart of Green Hills/12 South is ready for you! We'll be starting construction in the next week, so check back for progress as we build these two classic homes over the next few months. Contact us today if you want to make one yours and put your own finishing touches on it!
It's been no secret of late that a great many people have been taking notice of Nashville and all of her charms. The vast majority of national publications have at some point in the last couple of years called Nashville the new "It City," the "Cultural hub of the New South," the next "boom town," or some combination therein. We just saw that none other than Time Magazine has jumped on the bandwagon, calling Nashville "The South's Red-Hot Town."
We couldn't agree more. We love our town, and we expect you do, too--or soon will. Read the full article by following the link below:
Domaine Development is excited to announce that we're starting our newest project next week, breaking ground on two stunning homes in the heart of Green Hills.
Designed by Chris Goldbeck of P. Shea Design, these homes exhibit all the traits we look to build in our homes--a warm European country feel combined with the functional, modern approach that today's lifestyles demand.
Look for these to be delivered in late summer to early fall. If you're interested in learning more, contact us today. You have a chance to pick fixtures and finishes and make it a semi-custom home if act early.
