RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 1, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Islet Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:ISLT) ("Islet Sciences"), a biopharmaceutical company developing new medicines and technologies for the treatment of metabolic disease, and Brighthaven Ventures, L.L.C., d/b/a BHV Pharma ("BHV"), a privately held pharmaceutical company developing the SGLT2 inhibitor remogliflozin etabonate ("remogliflozin") for type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ("NASH"), jointly announced today that, consistent with the letter of intent entered into by Islet Sciences and BHV on March 12, 2014, they have entered into a merger agreement that will combine the operations and development pipelines of the two companies. Upon closing of the acquisition of BHV, the combined organization will be named Avogenx, Inc. ("Avogenx") and will continue to operate under the leadership of the current Islet Sciences management.
Following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, Avogenx will continue to develop its most advanced clinical asset, BHV's remogliflozin etabonate, a potential best-in-class SGLT2 inhibitor that has been dosed in over 800 patients in 21 clinical trials, including two successful phase 2b studies. BHV expects to initiate a multi-center phase 2b study in the fourth calendar quarter 2014 in patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as an additional phase 2b study for the NASH indication to follow in 2015.
Islet Sciences' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, James Green, stated, "We believe that executing the Merger Agreement is the next step in our transition into a clinical-stage company developing novel products for the treatment of metabolic disease. We look forward to emerging as Avogenx and advancing our combined pipeline of novel product candidates."
BHV's Chief Executive Officer, Bentley Cheatham, Ph.D., added, "BHV is looking forward to joining forces as Avogenx to continue development of remogliflozin. We believe that our existing data set is highly encouraging and that our development plan can leverage remogliflozin's unique chemistry and position it as a best in class commercial product."
The closing of the transactions is subject to the approval of the majority of Islet Sciences' stockholders and in that connection, as set forth below, Islet Sciences will file a Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus that will also be included in a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Avogenx. As announced previously in connection with entry into the letter of intent, in exchange for 100% ownership of BHV, Islet Sciences will issue shares of common stock to the members of BHV granting them an approximately one-third ownership stake in Avogenx. Additional shares of Avogenx common stock will be issued upon successful completion of development, regulatory and commercial milestones associated with the remogliflozin program. The total value of all potential milestones is $71 million.

Over the last several years I've written about virtually every aspect a photographer needs to pay attention to when it comes to building your brand. Brand awareness is all encompassing and about every aspect of your business. Today's post is a reminder – don't put all your eggs in just one basket, or even two or three. Social media is important, but just a Facebook page or Pinterest isn't enough. Building your brand and marketing is about weaving a web around your target audience. It's about being everywhere they are and it really is that simplistic, at least in terms of reach.
- Website:
Is your website as good as it could be?
- Blog:
Are you posting on a consistent basis? Are your posts relevant to what your audience wants to read?
- Facebook:
Do you have a business page on Facebook? With the new parameters that keep changing with FB, you need a business page to promote.
- Pinterest:
I'm just getting to know it myself, but for photographers, Pinterest can be an incredibly valuable tool for reaching your audience.
- Twitter:
It's not as strong as Facebook, but for a younger target audience it could be a solid component to keep your name out there and be helpful.
- Direct Mail:
It's still strong, but it's got to be done right. Remember to bring in partners to share the costs when designing a post card or brochure.
- Print Advertising:
It's still alive and can be very effective. However, it has to be used together with all the other tools for reach you've got available. Also, if you're not going to run your ad at least three times in a row, then don't waste your money!
- Email Blasts:
Still good and still effective, but only if you do them right. Work with a professional company who can help you create a strong message/campaign. Plus, just an email blast by itself, won't help you much if you don't have a presence in other areas.
- Publicity:
How often are you publishing a press release about some aspect of your business and things you're involved with?
- Community Involvement:
You've got to get involved in your community. People like buying products from companies they perceive as giving something back. You're looking for the community to be good to you – so you better make sure you're good to the community.
- Promotions:
You need to have something going on each quarter, but it doesn't have to be a discount. Contact your lab and album companies and look for special products you can offer as a seasonal bonus. Remember to consider partnerships in building a promotional campaign.
- Networking:
Sometimes the most obvious people who should be in your network are completely ignored. Get out, pound the pavement and introduce yourself to every business within a 2-5 mile radius of your base location. You don't have to sell anything, just make sure they know you're a photographer and available to help with any of their imaging needs. This is all about relationship building.
There are twelve action items on this list and within each there are probably a half dozen subcategories. Just remember, they won't do you a bit of good if you can't walk the talk! If your skill set isn't up to par, you'll create more problems that will weaken the components of the strong brand you want to build!
Photography is one of those career fields where your education never stops. Keep working to raise the bar on your skill set and at the same time build your marketing strategy. They all go together!
Skip Cohen is President of SCU, founder of Marketing Essentials International and past president of Rangefinder Publishing and WPPI. He's been an active participant in the photographic industry since joining Hasselblad USA in 1987 as president. He has co-authored six books on photography and actively supports dozens of projects each year involving photographic education.

"Solace" 24 x 48" acrylicIt's rare that I paint something that I'm perfectly happy with. My reach is always a little beyond my grasp. But this one comes pretty close. It is an image that I just love, of a place that never fails to be magical for me. After a lot of ups and downs in my life this year, I am naming this painting, "Solace" because that's what this place is for me.
I will be entering this painting in the annual Spillsbury Medal show at the Federation Gallery in Vancouver. The show opens on December 6th, and it's always a beautiful show to see, as the signature members of the FCA put forth their best work. It will also be the Christmas party for the FCA so come by if you are in the area.

2018 Ford Escape vs 2018 Mazda CX-5 in Lachine
August 20 2018,
The SUV realm is big, very big, but whether they are subcompact, compact, mid-sized or full-sized, some successfully stand out within this vast array of choice. This is evidently the case for one of them, which reigns in the compact-size class, the 2018 Mazda CX-5, opposed here to the 2018 Ford Escape in the following comparison.
This compact SUV, frequently seen in the great metropolitan region, features among the 3 finalists for the title of World Car of the Year, according to the World Car Awards. The WCA is an international non-profit association composed of several renowned automotive journalists, 48 in all, from Asia, Europe and North America. Being among the world Top 3, now there's something exceptional, especially when we take into consideration the number of vehicles riding on the planet.
The 2018 CX-5 is proposed in 3 versions; the GX, starting at $27,795, the GS starting at $31,395 and the GT starting at $36,995. The 2018 Ford Escape, for its part, offers 4 models, namely the S at a suggested starting price of $27,094, the SE at an MSRP of $29,344, the SEL starting at $31,094 and the Titanium starting at $38,194.
Let us now examine the characteristics featured on the CX-5 and that are lacking on the Escape. The highway fuel economy is greater at 7.7 L/100 km against 8.1 L/100 km, the global rating awarded by the automotive journalists from the Car Guide is at 87% for the Mazda, as opposed to only 75% for the Ford, it has G-vectoring Control, the Mazda unlimited mileage warranty and still much more.
Let's also mention the particular driving dynamics that only the Japanese manufacturer knows how to inject into all its vehicles, which neither Ford nor the other competitors have been able to imitate. In a nutshell, if you are looking for an SUV that will not only match your expectations, but also surpass them, come take a look at our 2018 CX-5 models at your Mazda dealership.
Located in Lachine, we have several units of CX-5 in inventory and we will be happy to tell you about the great number of Mazda financing possibilities, within reach of any budget, and don't miss our Mazda promotional offers. Come see us without any more delay!

"Goose didn't want any lap dances for himself, showing the girls photos of his wife and three kids on his phone," a spy said. "He asked the girls if they were naughty or nice and sent [them] off to dance for his friends, even for people he didn't know."

I took a day-trip down to E3 this year. It's the second time I've done the day-trip. I don't think I'll be doing it again next year. There's just so much travel time for a handful of hours at a convention where the lines are 30+ minutes long. There's definitely no way I'd be able to stand in the Nintendo line. That thing is at least 4+ hours.
What I was able to play this time: Dragonball Fighter Z, Lego Worlds, Yakuza 6... that's it? Yikes.

Burn Injuries
One exceedingly common result of a burn injury sustained in a fire is brain injury. Cerebral hypoxia is a condition resulting from large-scale brain cell death due to lack of oxygen in the brain. During a fire, oxygen is consumed very quickly and leaves very little for those trapped within. Cerebral hypoxia, in many fire deaths, is the actual cause of death, rather than the actual burning, itself. For survivors, brain damage and permanent scarring, as well as many other injuries that may require significant surgery, can be obstacles to a comfortable, fulfilling life.
Burn Injury Statistics
There are 450,000 emergency-room visits due to burn injuries every year in the U.S. After emergency treatment, 10% of those injuries (roughly 45,000 people) will be admitted to long-term care or treatment at burn centers. Unfortunately, about 3,500 of these burn victims will not survive.
Survival rates among burn injury victims in the U.S., relative to other countries, are very high, at just over 93 percent. However, for survivors, the resulting injuries can include permanent disfigurement, loss of physical ability and even brain damage.
Protect Your Rights
Burn Injuries can be some of the most severe and painful injuries sustained in an accident. Sometimes these burns can lead to complications such as scarring, infection and even death.

As a general rule, buying something in a physical shop on the high street is going to cost you more than ordering online. Shops have staff to pay, rent and bills to deal with, while big chains like Amazon can basically do whatever they like. Still when shops like Maplin shut down, you still end up with people complaining that it was down to the fact they charge so much, and that puts people off shopping there. Well if the latest report from The Register is anything to go by, those people might have a point.
While there are people out there who will only ever buy from the cheapest retailer, regardless of what other factors might make it worth spending a bit more money in a real shop, according to The Register some of Maplin's closing down sale prices are still more expensive than the competition. The site compared eight different items, including the Netgear Orb, Phillips Hue starter kit, and Powerbeats 3 wireless headphones, and found that seven of those items were cheaper online from retailers like Amazon, Currys, and eBay.
While it was hardly the most scientific investigation, seeing as how Maplin stocks thousands of products, it's still a bit shocking. While there will no doubt be plenty of bargains to be had in-store, the fact that there are still items that are more expensive than competitors says a lot about Maplin's prices in the first place. While it's unfair to place all of the blame of its collapse on the high prices, the fact that some sale prices are still be more expensive than shopping elsewhere means they definitely can't have helped.
So far administrators PwC haven't confirmed a set date for Maplin's final days of operation, so there's still plenty of time for those prices to be reduced even further. If products are cheaper elsewhere, then they're not likely to be flying off the shelves anytime soon. There's also still chance for the retailer (or part of it) to be rescued by a buyer, though things are looking pretty bleak. [The Register]

(January 2017 – Hong Kong) The Hong Kong fur industry has been internationally acclaimed for its impeccable craftsmanship and unparalleled creativity. To identify and nurture local design talents, the Young Executive Committee of Hong Kong Fur Federation presents the annual "Hong Kong Fur Design Competition" that aims to encourage local young designers to flex their creative muscles and provide an exchange platform for the industry players and fur enthusiasts to further explore new and exciting possibilities of fur design. The "Hong Kong Fur Design Competition 2017" was held at Sky100 Hong Kong Observation Deck today. The contest received enthusiastic responses this year with a total of 486 submissions, of which 15 entries from the "Full Fur Category" and 13 from the "Fur Combination Category" were shortlisted to vie for seven honours, including the "Commercial Award" and the "Best Sketch Award" to be voted by the followers of the competition's Facebook page. Winners of both categories will be enrolled in a one-week fur design course in Copenhagen, Denmark to broaden their horizons and sharpen their skills. This year's judging panel comprises Mr. Michele Scuotto, Trade Commissioner of Italian Trade Commission in the HKSAR, Mr. Jari Sinkari, Consul-General of the Consulate General of Finland in the HKSAR, Mr. Stephen Liang, Assistant Executive Director of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, Ms. Chris Cui, President of Kopenhagen Fur China, Mr. Harrison Wong, renowned fashion designer and Ms. Janet Ma, Hong Kong top model. Winners of both categories will be recognized for the originality and creativity, commercial value and marketability, workmanship, use of fur materials, and overall design concept of their collections. Echoing the theme "Golden Old Times", the venue was furnished in opulent colours that recalled the retro glam and golden era of old Shanghai. The vintage backdrop subtly highlighted the original and stylish fur collections, offering the audiences a glimpse into the charming city. The curtain was raised by "Shanghai Express" that showcased the beauty of East-meets-West fur looks against the exotic oriental flair taken from the Hollywood black-and-white films in the 1930s. It was followed by "Le Grand Opera" that drew inspiration from the traditional Beijing opera and theatre culture. The vibrant palette drew all eyes to the endless possibilities of fur. The sensational show culminated in "The Paramont" where models became graceful socialites in glamourous fur pieces and revealed their elegance, confidence and sophistication in the iconic nightclub The Paramount. One of the most anticipated highlights of the annual event was "Designers Love Fur" collection jointly presented with the Hong Kong Fashion Designers Association further ignited the mood. This year, five local designers including Mr. Henry Lau, Ms. Hidy Ng, Mr. Otto Tang, Ms. Harrison Wong and Ms. Rock Wong, were invited to join hands with the HKFF members to present their ingenious masterpieces and showcase the endless possibilities of fur design. The star-studded event also saw the presence of local celebrities and famed designers to witness the latest fur fashion trends. Ms. Angelika Nikola, Ms. Denice Lam and Ms. Louise Wong were invited to walk in the fashion show, while other attending guests included: Ms. Grace Chan, Ms. Jacquelin Ch'ng, Ms. Rosina Lin, Ms. Katy Kung, Ms. Samantha Ko, Ms. Anina Ho, Ms. Sherry Chen, Ms. Lily Li, Ms. Belinda Yan, Ms. Fanny Lee & fiancé Alvin, Mr. Andy Wong, Mr. Hugo Wong, Mr. & Mrs. Ryan Sun, Mr. Charles Yang, Ms. Maria Wu and more.

The carrier must also fit beneath the seat in front of you. There may be sure seats that can't accommodate your pet container, but we'll work with you to get a seat task with space.
We prioritize the carriage of canine breeds with respiratory problems reminiscent of Pekingese, pugs, shar-pei, Shih Tzu, Japanese spaniels, Chow Chow, English toy spaniels, bulldogs, Boston terriers, boxers, Brussels griffons and Brussels mastiffs within the flight cabin, depending on weight limits. There's a charge of $a hundred every method to travel with a pet (domestic cats and canine solely) in the cabin in an FAA-approved tender-facet service.
Lastly, we often contemplate ourselves dad and mom to our pets and are even often called such in our communities. Everybody who owns a dog is aware of that neighbors on the street are far more likely to know our canine title than they're to know ours. When our canine dies we are able to turn into invisible and lose a significant facet of our id. We publish photos and videos of our animals on social media and are adopted for that cause. Losing a pet can influence many features of our own identities.

the more than 50 recommendations, proposed across short, medium and
long-term timeframes, the Task Force calls on world leaders,
policymakers, lawyers, corporations, trade bodies, human rights bodies,
communities, scientists and individuals to take 'joint, bold action' to
achieve climate change justice. The Report's recommendations are the
result of a comprehensive survey of domestic and international law
relevant to climate change and of the ways in which these laws and legal
systems impede or constrain the realisation of climate justice and
human rights.
Mary Robinson, UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Climate Change, comments in the Report's Foreword,
the publication of this report I have to say that the IBA has surpassed
my expectations and delivered an excellent contribution to the
understanding of climate justice and the role of human rights law in
addressing the climate challenge. Through this Report the legal
community embraces climate justice, elucidates the links between climate
change and human rights and makes clear recommendations on ways to
secure justice for those affected by climate impacts.'
The Task Force, co-chaired by
David Estrin, Chair of the IBA's Environment Health and Safety Law Committee, and
Baroness Helena Kennedy QC,
Co-Chair of the IBA's Human Rights Institute, emphasises that the time
for action is now and that unless reforms are put in place, current
effects – including increased incidence of worsening droughts,
hurricanes and heatwaves – are likely to be 'dwarfed by the future
consequences of climate change'. These include rising sea levels,
unprecedented weather disasters, depleted freshwater reserves, vanishing
ecosystems and food supplies, as well as risk of serious social
disruption, lost livelihoods, mass displacements of peoples, and loss of
cultural, family, community and language continuity.
IBA President Michael Reynolds said,
legal mechanisms addressing mitigation, adaptation and remediation of
climate change are failing to cope with the scale of the global issue
and its wide-ranging impact on individuals, leaving climate change
justice issues unaddressed. That climate change raises concerns of
ethics and justice is now without question.' He added,
'The significance of Achieving Justice and Human Rights in an Era of Climate Disruption
lies in how it assists with moving from understanding to action. The
Task Force points the way forward in translating climate justice into
effective legal justice, with a series of proposals that are guided in
scientific consensus, in the reality of international climate policy and
in the urgency of real life impacts on individuals and communities.'

Nossaman is pleased to have been named to Law360's annual list of the "100 Best Law Firms for Female Attorneys" for the second year in a row. Nossaman ranked #93 on the list this year, moving up four spots from last year, when the Firm was ranked #97. Law360 noted that firms included in the list are "working to buck the industry's overall trend" and cites its 2016 Glass Ceiling report that found just 34 percent of all attorneys and 22 percent of partners at the U.S. law firms surveyed by Law360 were women.
"This ranking is a validation of our commitment to building an inclusive, dynamic work environment where women can thrive," said Ashley Dunning, Co-Chair of Nossaman's Public Pensions and Investments Practice Group and leader of its Women's Affinity Group. "Creating this type of environment helps foster a more creative, productive workplace, and enables us to better serve our clients—which drives the success of the Firm."
As part of its initiative to build a welcoming workplace for women, Nossaman annually hosts a Women's Retreat for its attorneys, policy advisors, and senior management with a focus on developing key skills and performance that leads to advancement, both inside and outside the Firm. Additionally, Nossaman sponsors or hosts educational programming for a number of groups dedicated to women's advancement in the workplace--including the Bay Area Women of Color Attorney Network, the Women in Transportation Seminar, and the Women Lawyers of Sacramento.
To compile these rankings, Law360 surveyed more than 300 U.S. firms, or international firms with a U.S. component, about their overall and female headcount numbers as of Dec. 31, 2015. Only U.S.-based attorneys were included in the survey. Firms are ranked based on four factors: the percentage of partners, both equity and nonequity, who are women; the percentage of nonpartners who are women; the split between the firm's female partner percentage and female nonpartner percentage; and the number of female attorneys at the firm.

#8 - Tips for Keeping New Year's Resolutions
5 More Days until 2017... FIVE! With recent news and celebrity deaths (Princess Leia! COME ON!), many of us are eager for 2016 to wind down. But if you are anything like me, you are have a growing list of goals and resolutions running through your head in the New Year. We all have the best of intentions...
Yet don't resolutions stick! In fact, only 8% of people stick to their resolutions... 8% (let that one sink in for a minute).
Think back...what resolutions do you make over and over again?
So how can you actually stick to your resolutions this year?
- MAKE SMART GOALS: Most of our New Year's Resolutions go something like this... "I'm going to get into better shape, I'll go to bed earlier, I'll spend more quality time with my kids, I'll eat healthier. Guess what those never seem to work because they are too broad and don't break it down into actionable steps.
- SPECIFIC: Instead of I'm going to get into better shape, try: I'm going to work out a minimum of 3 days a week for at least 30 minutes.
- MEASURABLE: You need to know if you are actually making progress. So going back to getting into better shape... look for a few key measurements that are important to you. Weight & inches are typical, but think about what you really want... maybe today you can run without stopping for 20 minutes and your goal is to get to 30 minutes. Or today you are using 5lb weights for your workout video, and you want to get to 10lb weights. Regardless, know where you are today so you can track your progress.
- Actionable: Ask yourself, do you have control over this goal? Again working out 3 times a week something you can control more than I will loose 10lbs in a month.
- Reasonable: Think about whether or not you have the support to achieve your goal. Going back to our example of working out 3 times a week... perhaps like me you work out in the morning. But for me that means I have to coordinate with my husbands schedule to be sure he doesn't have to be a work early.
- Time-Bound: Keep it simple to start. How about I'm going to work out 3 times a week for the month of January? Then re-evaluate. Is it working? Can you add a 4th workout or can you commit for 3 months?
Personally I suggest only committing to one or two goals for the month of January and keep going from there. The 2016 goals that I actually kept.
1) Quitting my Corporate Job... that's a much more detailed story for another day! But mid March of last year, I officially turned my side hustle into my full time job and it's been incredible!
2) I don't look at my phone when I get into bed. I initially started with I should go to bed earlier, but I knew that wasn't specific or honestly always actionable (when the baby is up all night you don't have much control over your own bed time!) so I changed it to making that goal for January and it was great...so I've kept it going. Do I always keep it? NO, but for the most part it's a great New Year's Resolution that has helped me fall asleep earlier!
So what New Year's Resolution are you working towards this year?

Through a new joint effort with JP Morgan Chase, Facebook will now allow its users to donate to any one of over 500,000 local charities of their choosing.
Users will vote for the charity of their choice with the winner netting $1 million and five runner ups receiving $100,000. 100 finalists will each win $25,000 each.
The program as explained by JPM: Chase is enlisting Facebook users, now totaling more than 300 million, to vote for which small and local non profits will receive donations totaling $5 million. The eligible charity receiving the most votes will be awarded $1 million, the top five runners-up will receive $100,000 each and the 100 finalists, including the top winners, will be awarded $25,000 each. Additionally, a special Advisory Board featuring members who are active in philanthropy, including actress Eva Longoria, Do Something founder Nancy Lublin and NBA Hall of Famer David Robinson, will allocate a total of $1 million to the nominated charities of its choice. "Every year, our company donates more than $100 million to non-profit organizations in local communities, nationally and abroad, and our employees dedicate countless hours of their own time to helping those in need," said Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co. "The grassroots nature of Facebook will allow us to hear directly which local charities matter most to our communities, hopefully creating an even bigger impact."
Clearly the best part of all this do-good and donating is that Eva Longoria is spokeswoman for the effort. Suffice to say: we approve.

A shelf has only hard board and you can put objects on it. This is very common knowledge. However, this soft shelf, STB-02, is beyond it.
The form of surface on this shelf changes depending on the weight and the shape of placed object. So, this shelf catches gently anything you put on as like human hands.
This soft part was made with a laser cutting machine. This machine uses heat to cut and can cut material having low heat resistance easily but one having high heat resistance NOT easily. Therefore you can cut only the first layer of the sandwiched material of wood and silicon with it.
In this way, this soft part is happened and can be made on the same surface as the hard wood and anywhere you want and also you can choose the any patterns. This system is also applied to bench and tray.

This article is part of the Opinion Today newsletter. You can sign up here to receive more briefings and a guide to the section daily in your inbox.
She was 14 years old at the time. Roy Moore was a 32-year-old prosecutor. He took her to his home in the woods, the woman says, removed both her clothes and his and then molested her.
The Washington Post's story about Moore — centered around that allegation — is detailed and persuasive. It included named sources, corroborating evidence and multiple disturbing incidents.
After the story's publication yesterday, the most common reaction from other Republicans was a conditional condemnation that revolved around the words "if true." A spokeswoman for Vice President Mike Pence said, "If true, this would disqualify anyone from serving in office." Mitch McConnell's statement was similar.
It's a wholly insufficient response.
I understand why senators might make their immediate response conditional. Maybe they didn't yet read the story. But once you have read the story, there is only one decent response: Moore, the Republican nominee to become Alabama's next senator, needs to quit the race immediately.
The "if true" response wrongly suggests that there will be some final reckoning of facts to remove any doubt about what Moore did. But there won't be. He will likely continue denying the allegations, and people will have to choose between The Post's reams of evidence and Moore's lack of it.
John McCain showed what an ethical response looked like, and he didn't need long to issue it:
"The allegations against Roy Moore are deeply disturbing and disqualifying. He should immediately step aside and allow the people of Alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of."
What Trumpworld hears. Seeking to downplay the Moore story, Steve Bannon said in a speech last night that "the Bezos Amazon Washington Post that dropped that dime on Donald Trump is the same Bezos Amazon Washington Post that dropped the dime this afternoon on Judge Roy Moore." (He was referring to the Post's reporting, in October 2016, about the tape in which Trump bragged about molesting women.)
Taxes. Should the Senate pass a tax bill that hurts the middle class but doesn't hurt the middle class as much as a House tax bill?
Obviously not. And that appears to be the choice senators will have, based on yesterday's early news about the Senate bill.
Republican Senate leaders seem to be putting together a bill designed to give huge tax cuts to the wealthy and little to the middle class. The bill would also create large budget deficits that middle-class families would ultimately have to help pay off.
The Senate will probably take away a few damaging provisions from the House bill, like a higher tax rate for low-income households. But the bill still seems geared overwhelmingly to the wealthy. One centerpiece is a reduction of the estate tax, which falls on only a sliver of rich families. Another provision makes the House bill worse: a lower income tax rate for the highest earners.
It is still possible for the Senate to write a bill that actually tries to clean up the tax code and make life easier on the middle class and poor. But the Senate is now a long way from doing so.
I'm encouraged to see several Republican senators raising concerns. Bob Corker and Jeff Flake are worried about soaring deficits. Mike Lee and Marco Rubio want a larger child tax credit. There are also multiple differences between the Senate and House bills that could be difficult to square. Any three Republicans can likely keep a damaging bill from passing.
Elsewhere: John Harwood conducted a meaty CNBC interview with Gary Cohn, the top White House economics adviser, yesterday. Among the points Harwood made: Any additional economic growth that the bill might create through corporate tax changes is likely to be overwhelmed by the drag from larger deficits. Cohn didn't have a good answer.
Red Century. My colleague Max Strasser, an Opinion editor, writes:
"One hundred years ago this week, the Bolshevik Revolution began in St. Petersburg, Russia. This year, the Opinion section's Red Century series has looked back at the revolution and its aftershocks. In the first installment, in February, David Priestland wrote about not just Communism's legacy but also what its future might hold. In the final installment, this week, Simon Sebag Montefiore looked at how the revolution reverberates, what might have happened if it never occurred — and how it almost didn't.
"Those are just a couple of the great pieces in the series. If you want to know more about how this event in 1917 shaped our world, you should read the rest of the Red Century series here."
The full Opinion report from The Times follows, including Diana Nyad on her life after a childhood sexual assault.
