A "yes" vote is a vote in favor of amending the subject policies of the El Dorado County General Plan.
Shall the ordinance be adopted amending the El Dorado County General Plan to ( 1) change when and how El Dorado County mitigates impacts to traffic levels of service, (2) impose restrictions on use of tax revenue and mitigation fees and on formation of infrastructure financing districts, and (3) require El Dorado County to make findings of compliance with those policies prior to approving any residential development project of five or more units, as more fully described in the proposed ordinance?
A "yes" vote is a vote in favor of amending the subject policies of the El Dorado County General Plan.
A "no" vote is a vote against amending the subject policies of the El Dorado County General Plan.
This measure was placed on the ballot by a petition signed by the requisite number of voters. If adopted by a majority vote, this measure would amend policies in the Traffic and Circulation Element of the El Dorado County General Plan. The amended policies would remain in effect indefinitely and could only be amended by voter approval.
In 1998, the voters enacted the "Control Traffic Congestion Initiative" (Measure Y), which added five policies to the 1996 General Plan regarding traffic impact mitigation by new development. Those policies were scheduled to expire in 2008. The policies were placed on the ballot for amendment and renewal in 2008. The 2008 amendments included: (1) clarification that the prohibition against residential projects of five or more units causing or worsening Level of Service ("LOS") F applies only to single-family subdivisions; (2) a provision that a road may be allowed to operate at LOS F by a 4/5 vote of the Board of Supervisors; and (3) deletion of the prohibition against using county tax revenues to fund road projects to serve new development. The measure passed.
This measure would rescind the 2008 amendments and make further amendments to the General Plan's policies regarding traffic impact mitigation by new development. It would amend Policy TC-Xa to require that road capacity improvements needed to prevent new development's cumulative traffic impacts from reaching LOS F be completed "before any form of discretionary approval can be given to a project." It would also amend Policy TC-Xf, which currently provides two methods for the County to mitigate traffic impacts: (1) condition the project to construct necessary road improvements or (2) ensure that the necessary road improvements are scheduled for construction within the County's Capital Improvement Program, which is primarily funded by impact fees collected with each building permit. This measure would eliminate the second option. The effect of these amendments is unclear, in large part because the amendment to Policy TC-Xa—requiring completion of necessary road improvements before project approval—appears to conflict with the part of Policy TC-Xf left unchanged by this measure—allowing the County to approve a project so long as it conditions the project to construct the necessary road improvements.
The measure would further require that mitigation fees and assessments be applied to the geographic zone from which they originated and that they may be applied to existing roads for maintenance and improvement projects. It is unclear whether such fees could be used for maintenance as state law generally prohibits the use of impact fees for maintenance of an improvement. The measure would add a policy requiring voter approval before creating an Infrastructure Financing District, a requirement already imposed by state law. Finally, this measure would require that the County make findings of compliance before approving certain development projects.
A "yes" vote is a vote in favor of amending the subject policies of the El Dorado County General Plan.
A "no" vote is a vote against amending the subject policies of the El Dorado County General Plan.
Michael Ciccozzi, Interim County Counsel
Argument In Favor of Measure E (Initiative to Reinstate Measure Y's original intent – no more paper roads)
To prevent traffic congestion, El Dorado County voters approved the original Measure Y in 1998 with 61% of the vote. From 1998 to 2008, the measure worked to prevent traffic gridlock and required developers to fully fund the roads needed to keep traffic flowing.
In 2008, Measure Y was amended by the Board of Supervisors and extended ten years by a 71.47% vote. However, unknown by most of the public, language was changed in the 2008 measure which weakened its purpose.
A "YES" vote on Measure E will restore Measure Y to its original intent.
A "YES" vote means, the Board of Supervisors will no longer be able to use the 4/5ths vote to allow gridlock.
A "YES" vote means, land use changes which severely impact traffic levels cannot be allowed based on hypothetical road improvements being built in the future.
A "YES" vote means, road funds acquired can be used to pay for maintenance of our County roads.
MEASURE E is endorsed by local businesses, agriculture, slow-growth, taxpayer and environmental advocates along with numerous community organizations.
All agree that returning Measure Y to its original intent by voting "YES" on Measure E will control traffic and protect our rural quality of life, while encouraging local job creation and balanced growth.
Police and firefighters support Measure E because it will help prevent gridlock on our county roads during emergencies.
The original Measure Y worked effectively from 1998 to 2008.
Your "YES" vote on today's Measure E will restore those successful policies of the original 1998 Measure Y which prevented traffic gridlock, protected our rural environment and required new development to pay its fair share for new roads.
Vote "YES" on Measure E to restore the intent of Measure Y and protect our open roads into the future!

Measure E is a flawed proposal that will result in countless lawsuits paralyzing local planning and costing El Dorado County taxpayers millions – and it won't protect our rural quality of life.
Measure E overturns the carefully crafted and voter approved El Dorado County General Plan that along with Measure Y controls growth, limits traffic, protects open space and preserves our rural quality of life.
That's why farmers, business, labor, public safety, educators and other County leaders oppose Measure E.
EL DORADO COUNTY'S OFFICIAL MEASURE E ANALYSIS REPORTS THE PROPOSAL COULD FINANCIALLY HURT "RESIDENTS, HOMEOWNERS AND BUSINESSES." The analysis also states Measure E could weaken our local economy – costing "jobs" and making the economy more "volatile."
We'll lose local jobs and small businesses – severely damaging our economy.
AND MEASURE E WILL NOT REDUCE TRAFFIC – the County analysis says Measure E would likely result in "less available money" for road improvements. And instead of well-planned projects near Highway 50 where infrastructure and transportation facilities already exist, Measure E would push projects to more rural areas of the County – clogging traffic on our rural roads and neighborhood streets.
MEASURE E WILL COST EL DORADO COUNTY MILLIONS. If approved, it will take years and millions in County legal costs to sort out the differences between County and State law. The official County analysis says the initiative language "allows significant room for interpretation." And that means lawsuits and more lawsuits. It's bad planning and it's bad for El Dorado County.

Measure E does not restore the intent of Measure Y. Instead, it tries to dictate to us the narrow view of what Measure E proponents want for El Dorado County.
And Measure E does not protect our open roads – it will clog traffic on our rural roads and neighborhood streets by pushing development to more rural areas of El Dorado County.
FARMERS OPPOSE MEASURE E. El Dorado County Farm Bureau President Jim Davies says, "Measure E is deeply flawed and completely unnecessary." El Dorado Winery Association Secretary Ann Wofford says, "Measure E won't protect our rural quality of life."
BUSINESS LEADERS OPPOSE MEASURE E. El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce CEO Laurel Brent-Bumb says with Measure E, "We'll lose jobs and small businesses – severely damaging our economy." And El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce President Debbie Manning says, "Measure E will result in countless lawsuits paralyzing local planning and costing El Dorado County taxpayers millions."

Christa Campbell, Retired El Dorado County School Teacher
The claim that Measure E will cause countless lawsuits is FALSE. In fact, it is the ill-advised actions of the County to favor developers that have interfered with proper planning and led to expensive lawsuits.
Measure E does nothing to overturn the General Plan.
Contrary to what the opposition states, MEASURE E WILL NOT PUSH PROJECTS TO MORE RURAL AREAS OF THE COUNTY. Only our Board of Supervisors can do that by amending our voter-approved General Plan.
Measure Y was overwhelmingly approved by voters in 1998 and functioned with NONE of the doomsday repercussions predicted by the opposition.
Measure Y, which prevents traffic gridlock, WILL EXPIRE IN 2018.
Without Measure E, large high-density developments can flourish and the burden for road improvements will be on taxpayers, rather than wealthy developers.
Measure E will NOT stop growth! The County currently has over 17,000 parcels available for development.
Remember, Parker Development joined forces with the Chamber of Commerce and the Farm Bureau to spend over $1,000,000 to confuse voters during the 2014 election. Don't let them do it again!
Stop developers from destroying El Dorado County!
The opposition to Measure E stands to gain BILLIONS OF DOLLARS if hypothetical paper roads are allowed to continue without Measure E protections.
Measure E is endorsed by public safety officers, small farmers, local contractors, firemen, educators, tradespeople and the grassroots volunteers who gathered thousands of signatures to put the "yellow petition" on the ballot.
Vote "Yes" on Measure E to protect our rural quality of life.

The 2004 El Dorado County General Plan is hereby amended as follows and shall remain in effect indefinitely unless amended by voter approval:
(deletions are shown as
strikeouts, additions are shown as underlined)
Policy TC-Xa:
Developer-paid traffic impact fees combined with any other available funds shall fully pay for building All necessary road capacity improvements shall be fully completed to prevent to fully offset and mitigate all direct and cumulative traffic impacts from new development from reaching level of Service F during peak hours upon any highways, arterial roads and their intersections during weekday, peak-hour periods in unincorporated areas of the county before any form of discretionary approval can be given to a project.
Policy TC-Xf: At the time of approval of a tentative map for a single family residential subdivision of five or more parcels that worsens (defined as a project that triggers Policy TC-Xe [A] or [B] or [C]) traffic on the County road system, the County shall
do one of the following: (1) condition the project to construct all road improvements necessary to maintain or attain Level of Service standards detailed in this Transportation and Circulation Element based on existing traffic plus traffic generated from the development plus forecasted traffic growth at 10-years from project submittal; or (2) ensure the commencement of construction of the necessary road improvements are included in the County's 10-year CIP.
For all other discretionary projects that worsen (defined as a project that triggers Policy TC-Xe [A] or [B] or [C]) traffic on the County road system, the County shall
do one of the following: (1) condition the project to construct all road improvements necessary to maintain or attain Level of Service standards detailed in this Transportation and Circulation Element; or (2) ensure the construction of the necessary road improvements are included in the County's 20-year CIP.
Policy TC-Xg: Each development project shall dedicate right-of-way and construct or fund improvements necessary to mitigate the effects of traffic from the project. The County shall require an analysis of impacts of traffic from the development project, including impacts from truck traffic, and require dedication of needed right-of-way and construction of road facilities as a condition of the development.
For road improvements that provide significant benefit to other development, the County may allow a project to fund its fair share of improvement costs through traffic impact fees or receive reimbursement from impact fees for construction of improvements beyond the project's fair share. The amount and timing of reimbursements shall be determined by the County.
This measure is not applicable within the jurisdictions of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and the City of Placerville.
This measure shall take effect upon certification of election results.
All 2004 General Plan Traffic Impact Mitigation Fees for all projects shall be paid at the building permit stage.
No Traffic mitigation fee shall be required for remodeling of existing residential units including adding a second kitchen, shower or bath in the house or garage that were built pursuant to a valid building permit from the County of El Dorado.
Tenant Improvements of existing buildings shall receive T.I.M. fee credit for prior use, unless the new use is less impacting, then there shall be no fee required.
Mobile homes on permanent foundation shall be subject to the single-family residential fee.
Second dwelling as defined under County Code Chapter 17.15.030 shall be subject to the multi-family fee.
LOS traffic levels on Highway 50 on-off ramps and road segments shall be determined by CalTrans and fully accepted by the County for traffic planning purposes.
If any provision of this measure is for any reason held to be invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

When Zeenab's house was destroyed, she and her family fled from Syria to Jordan in search of safety. This is her story.
After their house was destroyed, Zeenab and her family were forced to flee. "There were air strikes and dead bodies all around us… I didn't want my kids to end up like that".
In the middle of winter, the family left with only two changes of clothes for each of the children. "We couldn't bring any blankets because it was really hard to carry everything."
The journey was extremely difficult with Zeenab and her husband having to carry their children but, eventually, the family made it to safety in Jordan.
Upon arrival, the family was relocated to Za'atari camp, close to the country's northern border. "We're grateful. Winter here is difficult, but it's still better than Syria".
Zeenab and her family are now receiving winter cash assistance from UNHCR, providing them with the funds needed to insulate their shelter and pay for fuel to survive the winter.

This is the message in news articles all over the Web. Security is the #1 priority, I understand -- but the unintended consequence is that AdSense ads will not be displayed for users who set their Internet Zone security to "high."
Obviously not all Internet users will read these articles and even less will follow the instructions, but I'm betting that quite a few will.
What if a future security update that was delivered to millions of machines via automatic updates changed the default security to "high" for everyone? As someone who depends on AdSense revenue, I find this very concerning.

Until they start looking into extensions, of which Ad Block is one of the most popular...
99.9999% of web users will never become aware of this issue, let alone potential fixes.
That's certainly true of my visitors but I'm afraid it wont be that long before blocking like this will be a part of all viris checkers and even built into the new computers. My people would have no idea how to unblock the ads even if they wanted to.
However, most people don't run antivirus programs or antispyware programs, even among the more pc savvy. Re: antivirus stuff, most use whatever limited-time program was installed on their pc at purchase. And when it runs out, they don't renew the subscription. And I never ever run into a "normal joe" who ever updates his OS. Re: antispyware, almost nobody among the general public has heard of adaware or spybot. I could run a business just making housecalls cleaning up people's temp files, cookies, xrated toolbars, and hijackers. 75 bucks a visit for 10 minutes to clean all that out, do a disc scan and reset the browser defaults.
I think the people at google know this, that's why they're not particularly worried in the short term. But, for the long term, they might want to consider buying up entities like mcafee or norton. Is mozilla private? Is so, buy it to get control of firefox. They might also want to develop the next best antispyware program (adsense friendly) and give it away and market it heavily so it becomes the chosen default.
And I never ever run into a "normal joe" who ever updates his OS. Re: antispyware, almost nobody among the general public has heard of adaware or spybot.

I might have agreed with this a year ago, (all except the 10 minute part which is silly) but with every local news station doing "consumer alert" segments on the spyware epidemic people are aware of the problem and many are pushing the "update" button on their PC and even doing some reading.
People ARE running Microsoft products and they turn to Microsoft or the producer of their PC when they get scared, if MS or Dell says "quick, click here", they'll do it, heck these are the same folks that answered yes when they got a popup that said "do you want to download and install the new super shopper toolbar?".
It seems to me that in the end, Google may need to rethink the way adsense is served, would a PHP include work for them, don't know just guessing now...
Possibly true, but this is going to change. This is about user's direct experiences, and about perception of a threat. Perception-wise, California has just outlawed spyware [news.bbc.co.uk...] and I'm sure a sizeable portion of the 35 million or so who live there will have read about this.
Also, the 'average joe' is going to be getting more and more info about such things thrown at them by the media. Antivirus software makers will respond, as will PC manufacturers bundling software.
On top of that, in terms of direct experiences, as more average joes suffer directly from troublesome elements, the more this will impact further. For example, only last week a very non-technical friend had to pay for diallers on his phone bill - he now has a very protected machine.
I think I heard about a company that did something similar to this once... They developed some software that was "company friendly" and quite hostile to other developers' software, "blocking" it from working. I'm not sure, but I think they were called "Microsoft," and I believe their tatics lead to an anti-trust lawsuit, but I might be wrong.
> Get da fox. One more reason here, now
Yes, lord knows my life would be an empty shell if I didn't get to see a thousand ads for a thousand products I would never buy...

it doesn't make a difference if 90% of the users use IE. Can't say that I'm not smiling a bit. We have been begging Google for months to do something since many of our sites are essentially gone from Google for no fault of our own (linked via 302 links), yet Google doesn't seem to care. It sucks when your livelyhood is impacted greatly there's nothing you can do, doesn't it Google? Now all MSFT has to do is make this the default setting...
I for one have no intention of letting users who block ads on my websites view for free the content I worked hard to produce.

Fox Nation Moderators Approve Another Death Threat To Obama
Reported by Ellen - September 19, 2009 -
Is anyone available to call the Secret Service? Fox Nation moderators have approved another death threat to President Obama. Almost as disturbing as the moderators' failure to weed out these comments is the fact that there is no way to contact Fox Nation and ask them to please be a little more careful in their moderating. Or is that deliberate? In any event, I reported the comment via the "report" button." But there's really no excuse for these kinds of comments to get through in the first place. Thanks to reader Neil for the heads up. Screen grab after the jump.
From this thread about the CIA.

Cartoon Network is planning to go beyond televised animation. As reported by Wired, chief content officer Rob Sorcher recently talked about how the channel was moving original content into other spaces, including video games:
We're no longer just about creating TV series, we're really about
creating animated worlds….And so we want the ability to unfold those
[worlds] onto any platform—and ultimately all platforms.
This announcement coincided with Cartoon Network releasing its original first game, OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo. Cartoon Network has had many games based on its popular IPs, like Adventure Time, published and Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's channel space sibling, has published original games such as Westerado: Double-barreled and Jazzpunk. However, this is the first time the company has released a game that wasn't based on one of its series, though OK K.O.! certainly has an aesthetic similar to the likes of Steven Universe and Adventure Time.
According to Sorcher, OK K.O.! started as a pilot episode for a show (you can watch it here) but ended up becoming a mobile game instead. The game is a side-scrolling fighter that riffs off Streets of Rage pretty hard. You can watch more than 20 minutes of gameplay right here:
(Please visit the site to view this media)
OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo is available to download on the App Store for free.

Our Take
That Cartoon Network is following Adult Swim's lead and expanding its focus into other areas is certainly interesting. I wonder what original content we'll see come out of this initiative as Cartoon Network's pool of tremendous talent is pushed toward gaming.

A few weeks ago, a big box of doughnuts was delivered to my
It came with compliments from the promotions director of Associated
Newspapers, Desmond Nichols. He was responding to something I'd written
grumbling about the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday's aggressive Lucky
Bags promotion, promising every reader two prizes, with the prospect of
a foreign holiday, in seven days. Alas, my prize, a free doughnut, was
only available from a chain of bakeries absent from my neighbourhood,
and I felt cheated.
I take a close interest in the promotions used by national newspapers to
get us to pick them up. Free dry cleaning at Sketchleys (Mail), tickets
on Eurostar when it launches (Times), cut-price restaurant offers
(pioneered by the Financial Times, but widely copied).
In many ways, it's the unwritten newspaper story of the 1990s, less high
profile than cut-price crusades mounted by News International, and
ignored by media columnists who prefer to analyse the shifting political
allegiances of the tabloids.
Giveaways are clearly influential in slowing decline, encouraging
sampling and stealing readers from rivals. But how do promotions help
the newspapers?
Well, we all like things for free. But there are dangers. In the case of
the Mail's Lucky Bags, I've lost count of the number of people who have
moaned to me about their paltry prizes. However, Associated's sales are
on an unbroken upward curve, and Lucky Bags may have produced an uplift
of 100,000 sales per day for an (estimated) outlay of pounds 200,000 per
Which brings me to the Books for Schools offer being run across the Sun,
News of the World, the Times and Sunday Times, by News International
jointly with Walkers crisps. Linked to the Year of Reading, it's
If you have school-age children, it's impossible to ignore this campaign
which offers a wide choice of free books in exchange for vouchers.
An astonishing 93 per cent of schools (32,400) are taking part, the
educational establishment is behind it, Tony Blair endorsed it. The
interesting thing is that the title most benefiting is the Sun. A year
ago, speculation was rife about the paper's need for refreshment, with
Page 3 even said to be on the way out, a move that would have depressed
Instead, the campaign (estimated total cost pounds 4 million) has been
used to take some edges off the brand, to make the Sun seem less
blokeish, more a paper which young families could have around the house.
And the gap between it and the Mirror has widened to 1.6 million copies.
I don't know whether the Sun's sales decline of last year will be
arrested, but this is the kind of 'win-win' cause-related marketing
campaign business school students will study for years to come.

Sony is gearing up to unveil new Xperia smartphones at MWC next month. The company is now rolling out invites to a press conference scheduled in Barcelona for February 27. Report has it that Sony is likely to come up with two new mid-range smartphones during the event. Last month, some renders of the upcoming Sony phone — allegedly the successor last year's Xperia XA — were spotted online. The renders hint that the device will arrive with slightly upgraded hardware specifications.
If rumours are to believe, Sony's upcoming smartphone will not be featuring a fingerprint scanner and microUSB 2.0 port. It will instead come with a USB Type-C port. Externally, the device is likely to be based on stereo speakers and expected in red, purple, and a navy blue option. Even though no concrete details are available just yet, Sony is also expected to launch the 2017 variant of last year's Xperia X. Earlier this month, the device was spotted in an alleged press image.
We, however, are not able to verify the authenticity of any of these claims. In other news, a series of new Nokia phones is also set to arrive on February 26. HMD Global — the manufacturer of Nokia-branded handsets — has begun sending out invites to a press conference to be held ahead of MWC.

Foyen in Getting the Deal Through Mining 2019

Foyen has advised Canadian mining company Mandalay Resources Corporation inits marketed public offering of shares (subscription rights) on the Toronto stock exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of 43 million CAD (32 MUSD).Mandalay is the 100 % owner of the Bjorkdal gold mine in northern Sweden and the transaction has required legal opinions regarding all companies and permits in the Swedish business operation.
Foyen recruits lawyer from the Court of Appeal
Foyen Advokatfirma has recruited lawyer Erika Stjärnström from the Göta Court of Appeal. Erika has joined the law firm's Construction business sector, writes Foyen in a press release.
Proposal regarding mining waste could prove a costly business for mining operators
On June 1, 2017 the Swedish Government decided to instruct an investigatory committee to analyze the potential actions or measures necessary to efficiently ensure that sufficient collateral security is in place in mining operations for remediation and other restorative measures. The investigation adopted the name the "The investigation into financing regarding mining waste" and was submitted to cabinet minister Karolina Skog in June 2018 (SOU 2018:59).
The Environmental Code contains general provisions regarding collateral security and guarantees concerning, for example, environmentally hazardous activities. The provisions also include remediation after mining operations wherein collateral security is provided to the State. To avoid that the State and, ultimately, taxpayers are forced to bear the cost of remediation in cases where a mining company, for example, goes bankrupt and the collateral security provided is insufficient to cover costs, the investigation has looked into alternative ways of providing collateral security that is more in line with the actual remediation (post-treatment) costs incurred by mining operations. In light of this, the investigation proposes that changes be made to the Environmental Code and the Minerals Act, and that a new law and associated regulations regarding financial collateral security for mining operations is introduced. The investigation has identified what it considered to be four key areas for reducing the State's risk regarding remediation in mining operations.
The proposals made by the investigation committee can be summarized as follows:
Clarification of the purpose and objective of collateral security
According to the investigation committee the purpose of collateral security for remediation needs to be clarified. This recommendation has been made as, in the present preliminary work, it is stated that the purpose of collateral security is to minimize the risk of taxpayers bearing the cost of any potential remediation. The investigation also considers that the objective of providing collateral security is not sufficiently clear.
The committee therefore suggest that:
- The amount of security shall be calculated to adequately cover any expected costs of remediation with a comfortable margin,
- The requirements for remediation must be documented in a special post-treatment plan, wherein it is clearly stated what the post-treatment plan will achieve,
- The post-treatment plan must be tried in conjunction with the process for a mining permit according to the Environmental Code and revised at least every five years,
- The amount of collateral security should cover the cost of remediation in a situation wherein the operator is unable (for example due to bankruptcy) or unwilling to pay for post-treatment costs at a time until the next permit revision date. As it stands today, collateral security is usually set for the expected life time of the entire mining operation,
- The amount of collateral security should be revised every five years, there after a new amount of collateral security should be determined for the next five-year period,
Mining operations should not be given permission to be carried out unless adequate collateral security has been provided. The investigation committee concluded that the current system regarding required collateral security is not sufficiently clear and therefore has proposed the revision of how the required amount of collateral security is calculated. The committee suggest that:
- The operator must show that moraine of sufficient quality is available in the immediate area, if this is not the case the costs for soil improvement measures including transport must be considered and taken into account. According to the investigation this is due to the fact that it is assumed that high quality moraine is available in the immediate area when calculating the amount of collateral security needed,
- The calculation should include an "uncertainty surcharge" - the amount of collateral security should, with 75 per cent probability, cover the cost of remediation. It is proposed that any costs surplus to this will be passed on to the State,
- The calculation should take explicit account of future price and wage developments,
The requirement for separate collateral security under the Minerals Act should be removed for companies that provide collateral security for mining operations. Based on current regulations there are no restrictions regarding the type of collateral security that is considered acceptable. The investigation does not present any examples wherein the form of collateral security has posed a problem in connection with a claim. However the investigation still considers that the uncertainty that exists regarding the form of collateral security considered acceptable poses problems for both operators and the State. For this reason the committee proposes that only two types of collateral security be accepted:
- Bank guarantees with standardized conditions as determined by the State,
- Collateral security in the form of a cash deposit
- Limitations on the amount and form of collateral security
In today's system, the collateral security is tried by the Land and Environmental Court and examined in conjunction with the application for a mining permit in accordance with the Environmental Code. The investigation committee is of the opinion that this implies an excessively fragmented governmental responsibility. The Land and Environmental Court makes decisions regarding both the amount and form of the collateral security, the State is often being represented in these cases by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency or any of the relevant County Administrative Boards, which lack specialist competence in the field. This, according to the investigation committee, weakens the State's ability to protect its interests.
The investigation committee therefore propose that:
- The Land and Environmental Court is relieved of the task of deciding on the amount of the collateral security and that this task is transferred to the Swedish National Debt Office who will act as the supervisory authority regarding collateral security concerning mining waste remediation,
- The review of post-treatment plans should be carried out by the Land and Environmental Court regarding renewing or amending permits for mining operations according to the Environmental Code and by the County Administrative Board regarding revisions.
We at Foyen see a number of major challenges with the proposals made by the investigation into financing regarding mining waste remediation. The first concern being the intention to limit the possibilities concerning the lodging of collateral security, even though the investigation committee has been unable to conclude that alternative forms of collateral security, in addition to those currently proposed, have caused problems. Furthermore, we have serious concerns regarding the proposal that collateral security should include a 75% uncertainty surcharge. This will amount to significantly higher costs for the mining operators. Additionally, the calculation of collateral security is based on the assumption that an external party will perform the remediation, which does not reflect reality in many cases. The proposals made by the investigation committee may even create complications in the judicial examination procedure carried out in the court system.
Overall, the investigation has exaggerated, at the expense of the operator, a remediation situation that, even in the worst-case scenario, is unrealistic.
It remains to be seen where the investigation committee's proposals will lead after a proposal for new legislation is referred to the Legislative Council for consideration which may ultimately lead to a new government bill. Whatever the outcome we will be following the next steps with interest.

Careless limit values threaten the Mining Industry
By lawyer/partner Pia Pehrson and associates Pelle Stubelius and Ludvig Gustafson, Foyen Advokatfirma
DEBATE. The Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management suggests new limit values regarding uranium and copper and other substances. There is however, according to Pia Pehrson, Pelle Stubelius and Ludvig Gustafson at the Swedish law firm Foyen Advokatfirma, a risk that part of this proposition will prevent Swedish industry and mining operators from continuing their work.
Reforms for improved environmental legislation required
By Pia Pehrson, partner, and Pelle Stubelius, associate; Foyen Advokatfirma
Sweden will soon have a government which will have a greater focus on environmental matters. There are a number of legislative actions that need to be focused on, but there are also some propositions that should be disregarded.
Mining in Sweden – legislation and the latest trends
Update and trends
2012 was another busy year for the Swedish mining industry, with solid numbers in production, exploration investments and extended exploration permits. The area comprising northern Sweden, Finnish Lapland, northern Norway, and north-western Russia is extremely rich in minerals and is still underexploited. International capital has found its way to this area and new business ventures are being launched by Canadian, Australian, UK and other international companies.
A better environment – reduced emissions – Industrial Emissions Survey SOU 2011:86
Industrial activities are of great importance to Europe's financial wealth. Industrial emissions, however, cause environmental pollution and industrial emissions constitute a major part of Europe's total emissions to air, water and soil. Consequently, there is a need for regulation of industrial operations at an EU level. Partner Erica Nobel and associate Christina Hellström comment on the new legislation and the possible consequences thereof.
When responsibility has a price
The Supreme Court makes clear that a party that has started to clean up contamination caused by another party is also deemed to be a business operator. This gives rise to joint and several liability for the original contamination. The fact that remedial work was intended to reduce the environmental impact is of no importance.
Procedural complexities to consider before appeal of permit

A modern PBL
A new planning and building act (Sw. plan- och bygglag) ("new PBL") becomes
effective on 2 May this year and replaces the current planning and building act from
1987 ("old PBL"). The following article briefly highlights some of the more central
Growing Corporate Environmental Debt
The environmental code, when introduced in 1999, increased corporate liability for cleaning up contamination. In the first place, the person who operated or operates the contaminating business is responsible for the clean up.
New court hierarchy for cases under the Environmental Code and the Planning and Building Act
The environmental courts were established in 1999 in conjunction with the Environmental Code taking effect. The court assumed the role which the Concessions Board for environmental protection and the water courts had had as licensing authorities. The property courts history is considerably older than the environmental courts, since they were founded in 1969.

Getting the Deal Through: Construction - 2009
Must foreign designers or contractors enter into a joint venture with a local contractor to design, build and be paid for their work? Does the law require that the local contractor control the joint venture?
There is no such requirement. A foreign contractor wishing to undertake a project can choose to establish a branch office, a subsidiary or contract through its company domiciled abroad.
Increased liability in new Swedish environment law
The Swedish government has presented a bill to bring into force EC Directive 2004/35/EC of the European Parliament and the Council, of 21 April 2004 on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage.

A blood clot in your thigh or lower leg — also known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) — can pose severe risks to your health. At Lexington Vein Institute in Lexington, Kentucky, Fadi Bacha, MD, diagnoses and treats clots with medication and compression gear to prevent them from breaking off, entering your lungs, and causing a severe pulmonary embolism. Book an appointment online or over the phone right away if you think you might have deep vein thrombosis.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious medical condition known as a blood clot inside the deep leg veins. Any circumstances that cause your blood to circulate or clot abnormally, such as surgery or extended periods of inactivity, can cause DVT.
Warning signs for DVT include:
These symptoms usually only occur in one leg at a time.
If the blood clot in your leg dislodges and travels into your lungs, blocking blood flow there, you can suffer from a life-threatening pulmonary embolism. DVT can also lead to postphlebitic syndrome that causes permanent damage to the vein.
Contact Dr. Bacha right away if you have signs of DVT. If you exhibit any symptoms of pulmonary embolisms, such as sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, or bloody coughs, you should seek emergency medical attention right away.
Dr. Bacha is an expert at identifying DVT. He uses the information you provide about your condition followed by a physical examination to begin the diagnostic process.
If Dr. Bacha notices any signs of DVT during the initial exam, he may order further imaging tests to check. Ultrasound is one of the most common tests for DVT, and Dr. Bacha may use blood tests, or CT and MRI scans to verify the diagnosis further.
Dr. Bacha treats DVT with medication and compression garments. He also offers lifestyle advice about how to promote healing and prevent complications.
Anticoagulants, or blood thinners, are usually among the first line of treatment for blood clots. Blood thinners prevent existing blood clots from getting bigger whether taken intravenously or orally.
Compression stockings can improve blood circulation and reduce swelling in your legs. They also help keep blood from pooling and clotting in your lower extremities.
If you have noticeable pain or swelling in one leg, contact Dr. Bacha online or over the phone for an appointment as soon as you can.

Shore Excursions in Iceland
There's a good reason why Iceland is regarded as the 'land of fire and ice'. On every shore excursion in this remarkable country, you'll see this firsthand – nature constantly changing the landscape and what we know about Iceland.
On a trek of Iceland, all shore excursions are an excuse to get the camera out. From the summit of Snaefellsjokull, one of the most beautiful glaciers in the country that's also home to a 700,000-year-old stratovolcano, to the Surtshellir lava cave, nature is in control of Iceland and it's certainly something to behold.
Of course, culture and history also play a part on our excursions in Iceland. Read up on Icelandic history at the national shrine of Þingvellir, part of the famous 'Golden Circle' and walk the streets of the capital Reykjavik to get a feel for how people in Iceland have lived for thousands of years.
All of shore excursions are included in your expedition cost. Read on to find out more about our excursions in Iceland.

McKay Jenkins keeps a clean house. Or so he thought. He doesn't wipe his countertops with harsh chemicals. He and his wife feed their kids organic food.
But the Columbia Journalism School grad got a rude awakening when he started reporting on his own lifestyle.
For his book "What's Gotten Into Us?" (Random House, $26), he tracked the unhealthy effects of the chemicals we touch, drink and breathe every day. He went to big-box stores and strolled across pesticide-treated lawns. Finally, he invited toxicologist Albert Donnay to tour his home.
It takes guts to open your doors to an expert, and Jenkins could predict some of what Donnay would find. Today's synthetic fabrics and engineered building materials contain known poisons — for instance, plywood sheathing and cabinetry are glued together with formaldehyde. But he didn't expect to hear about the poisons floating in his indoor air.
This year, as Earth Day approaches on Friday, Jenkins' findings might make you want to start your save-the-planet quest at home.
Wall-to-wall carpeting arrives treated with flame retardants and stain-resisting glosses that rub off over time. Pet owners know the dangers of letting Sparky run around on pesticide-treated lawns, but a recent study showed that even an indoor pooch can pick up toxins - twice the levels of stain-resisting chemicals as humans. "For us as adults, it's just our feet," says Jenkins, "but dogs - and babies - have smaller bodies and more of their bodies are coming in contact with this stuff."
Your new mattress also comes treated with toxins. Just think of that moment after it is delivered when you tear off the plastic and take a whiff of something rather like "new car smell."
"What you're smelling is the breakdown of synthetic chemicals that have gone into making this stuff," says McKay. "Whether it's the mattress or whether it's your dashboard, the smells that we associated with these products are our brains registering the impact of these chemicals."
For people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, a rare chronic medical condition, a whiff of "new car smell" can trigger migraines, nausea and even memory problems.
Donnay found fault with the basement of Jenkins' Baltimore home, where the author had stored old cans of paint and floor finish. The fumes coming out of those cans collect in the enclosed space, then seep into the house. For apartment-dwelling New Yorkers, the process can be even more direct — from under the kitchen sink to the atmosphere.
Even if you think you can breathe easy at home, you might live above a fume factory, such as a cleaner that uses the solvent perchloroethylene (perc), which has been linked to neurological problems, especially related to vision. "A study done in New York City showed that people who lived in apartments in the same buildings that housed dry cleaners were exposed to perc at nearly eight times the levels considered safe," Jenkins writes.
When a 2003 study tested samples of household dust, researchers found some things they expected - flame retardants and phthalates (compounds found in scented sprays), plus traces of disinfectants and pesticides - but they also found DDT. "DDT has been banned for decades," says Jenkins, "but you can still find it in your dust, along with everything else you bought yesterday, like whatever is precipitating out of your air-freshener. ... People may think dust is dirt, that it's natural, biodegrading material, but it is the breakdown of consumer products."
Lotions, soaps and shampoos - basically anything scented - may include phthalate plasticizers, and evidence is mounting that these compounds can mess with the body's endocrine system and disrupt development. But you won't find warning labels on your perfume. "You are applying these products directly to your skin, yet nothing's required to be labeled," says Jenkins. "There's been quite a lot written about cosmetics being a tens-of-billions-of-dollars-a-year industry that is virtually unregulated."
Jenkins' final stop on his house tour was his gas stove. "Our dining-room table is in the kitchen," he says, "not unlike many New York apartments. Donnay says, 'Let's say you're cooking a Thanksgiving dinner and you've got all four burners going.' He cranks them up, pulls out a professional-grade carbon monoxide monitor, walks to the dinner table, and the thing starts spiking to 70, 75." That's 75 parts per million, and the EPA's safety limit is 10. It doesn't help that many New York apartments have dummy hoods over the stoves that, as Donnay puts it, "blow the carbon monoxide right back into our faces." A good vent goes a long way and, if the weather is nice, so does opening a window.
Indoor air pollution can be two to 10 times worse than outdoor pollution, according to the EPA, and even natural-fiber rugs are a hazard because they trap the dust that you're trying to eliminate. "Just like you don't want to wear clothes that you just brush clean, you don't want to live with rugs that are just vacuumed," Donnay warns Jenkins in the book. "You should wash them at least once a year, even if it means taking them down to the commercial laundromat and throwing them into one of those machines that
take monster loads."
McKay Jenkins brings "What's Gotten Into Us?" to Book Court (163 Court St., between Pacific and Dean Sts., Brooklyn, 718-875-3677, bookcourt.org) on April 27 at 7 p.m.

I know this title may seem hard to believe and goes against everything you are used to thinking but it is the truth. Stay with me as I look forward to sharing some insight with you throughout this article.
Lets realize why weight loss has always been the "gold standard" when it comes to personal health and fitness goals. Measuring weight loss is the easiest form to track and calculate. No fancy equipment or expertise needed. Just step on the scale on there you have it, simple as that! But is that really the best way to evaluate your health and physique progress? At Driven, we do not think so.
A very popular misconception that has stood the test of time is that muscle WEIGHS MORE than fat. Why is this wrong you may be wondering? Because five pounds is still five pounds. It doesn't matter if it is five pounds of fat or five pounds of muscle the weight is still the same. The difference is that muscle is 18% more DENSE than fat. This means that the five pounds of muscle takes up much less room on your body. Creating powerful physique changes!
So, how do you go about creating these physique changes and building more muscle? That answer is easy, you STRENGTH TRAIN! No, that doesn't mean you will look bulky. It does mean that you will shrink around the midsection and other problem areas.
Let's use a scenario to illustrate what I mean.
Let's say you are a female that weighs 135 pounds with 30% body fat which means you have 40.5 pounds of fat and 94.5 pounds of muscle. You begin strength training and over the next year you get much stronger and build 10 pounds of muscle WITHOUT putting on any extra pounds. This means that you just LOST 10 POUNDS OF FAT.
This female still weighs 135 pounds but has 104.5 pounds of muscle and 30.5 pounds of fat. Her percentage of body fat is now 22.5%. Her body just firmed up and shrunk in her problem areas while developing muscles in her glutes, core, legs and arms. This is why strength training is THE BEST way to develop your physique goals.
Now don't get me wrong if you enjoy doing cardio than please continue to do so. Cardiovascular training has benefits for heart health. But if your goals are physique related than I encourage you to learn how to strength train properly so that you maximize your time, energy and effort.
If you want to create powerful, efficient and effective physique changes here is what I recommend you start doing:
- Learn how to safely perform the major exercises
- Follow a structured strength program
- Stay consistent with your strength training (3 x / week)
- Do not recklessly push yourself with dangerous athletic maneuvers if you are not comfortable
- Eat a lot of protein and vegetables and keep your carbohydrates for after workouts
- Learn to enjoy the process and feel confident by getting stronger!

BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University football team took the field against the number two team in the HCAC, Mount St. Joseph, on a bitterly cold and windy Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014. Bluffton was looking for its fifth consecutive win, but fell just short in a 33-24 setback to the Lions. The Beavers slipped to 4-4 on the season with a 4-2 record in the Heartland Conference. The visitors continued their winning ways as they improved to 7-2 overall and 6-1 in the conference.
The first stanza opened up slowly with both teams giving up their early possessions to three and outs. MSJ got points on the board late in the first quarter on a 20-yard field goal off the foot of Shane Kelly after the Beavers stopped a strong Lion drive. The beavers responded in a strong way coming down the field on an 11 play drive as Nick Sheehan (Monroeville, Ind./Heritage) connected on a beautiful pass over the middle to one of his favorite targets, Micah Roberson (Ada), who powered through three defenders for his first touchdown on the season.
Greg Simpson, who took the majority of snaps as the MSJ quarterback, had a strong day as he drove the ball against the Beaver defense. Early in the second quarter, Denzel Norvell punched in a two-yard scoring rush to give the lead back to MSJ. Following a muffed kickoff, the Lions took over at Bluffton's 33-yard line in great field position. It required just three plays for Simpson to find Leonard Riston (Cincinnati) on a spectacular pitch and catch for six as Riston elevated over the defender to come down with the difficult reception. Bluffton answered with a field goal by Jordan Watkins (Reynoldsburg) just before halftime as MSJ went to the break on top 17-10.
Simpson continued his superb work as MSJ opened up the second half scoring with a play action pass that left Ronnell Colbert wide open for a 48-yard touchdown at the 10:03 mark in the third stanza. Roberson caught another quick pass in the corner of the end zone as the Beavers continued to try and battle back.
MSJ added to its lead with another field goal at the end of the third as Kelly knocked down the 35-yarder with ease. The Beavers were unwilling to give up as Sheehan hooked up with touchdown machine Donovan Brown (Cincinnati/Purcell Marian) on a 40-yard catch as Brown caught the pass and then stumbled into the end zone. The Lions put the nail in the coffin when they scored their final touchdown with 1:27 left in the contest on a 12-yard toss from Simpson to Riston.
Sheehan aired it out 32 times, completing 16 of his attempts with three touchdowns and three interceptions. Roberson had another nice day, hauling in seven catches, including two touchdowns. Fisher went for 64 yards on 23 carries as Bluffton struggled to run the ball much of the afternoon.
Ben Schamp (St. Marys/Memorial) led the team with a career-high 10 tackles, adding a forced fumble. Ty White (Orrville) had an interception, his HCAC-best fourth of the season, and a pass breakup to go along with seven tackles. Junior defensive end Ryan Aelker (New Bavaria) added two sacks.
Mount St. Joseph finished with 395 yards of offense, compared to 262 for the Beavers. The Lions ended with a 214-41 edge on the ground. MSJ moved the chains 10 times on third down, while Bluffton converted just 4-of-14.
The Beavers hit the road next Saturday as they look to get back to their winning ways against the Anderson University Ravens. The kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 on November 8.
