Question: Colorado, other states building charging corridors to quell electric vehicle ‘range anxiety’

The national settlement also requires that Volkswagen invest $2 billion over 10 years in zero-emission vehicle infrastructure and education programs. Electrify America, a newly created subsidiary of Volkswagen, will administer this investment. Funds will be spent in $500 million increments over four 30-month cycles. In the first cycle, Electrify America will focus on building a long-distance network of fast-charging stations along high-traffic corridors across the country. In Colorado, stations will be built along Interstates 70, 25 and 76.
The funding will be available for both community-based and electric vehicle fast-charging corridor stations.
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment serves as the lead agency in administering Colorado’s allocation and has coordinated with the Colorado Department of Transportation and other agencies in drafting the state’s Beneficiary Mitigation Plan. Colorado’s plan proposes that 15 percent, the maximum percentage allowed under the terms of the settlement, be allocated for light duty electric vehicle charging stations.
As part of the national Volkswagen Diesel Emissions Settlement, the state of Colorado will receive $68.7 million from the environmental mitigation trust. Funds may be used to incentivize the purchase of low-emission vehicles and transit and for development of zero-emission vehicle fueling and charging infrastructure.
Gerald Espinosa vividly remembers his anxiety-riddled drive up Colorado's McClure Pass in May 2015, watching the charge on his fully electric Fiat 500e plummet as he inched toward the 8,755-foot summit.
He was in the final stretch of what normally would have been a four-hour jaunt from Denver to Paonia, in the western part of the state. With charging stops, it ended up being a two-day trip. His car packed with bikes and clothing, he spent the last few hours charging the battery in his electric vehicle in Carbondale.
As he climbed, the remaining range on his charge dropped from 70 miles to 40 to 30.
"I was just panicking," Espinosa recalled in a recent interview with High Country News.
When he reached the top, he had just 16 miles of charge left — and 33 miles to go. Thankfully, it was all downhill to Paonia, and his battery recharged every time he hit the brakes. He arrived with 72 miles left.
The fear Espinosa experienced that day has a name: "range anxiety." And it has hindered electric-vehicle adoption in the interior West, where cities and charging stations can be hundreds of miles apart. This is a serious obstacle, since electric cars have the potential to improve air quality, meet clean-energy goals and promote tourism.

That's why Western states are determined to follow the West Coast's example and build the infrastructure needed to attract more converts. In October, governors from Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming signed an agreement to add high-speed charging stations to every major interstate in the region.
Christian Williss, director of transportation fuels and technology at the Colorado Energy Office, said his state aims to make charging "as quick and convenient" as gassing up.
It's up to each state to figure out its individual infrastructure plans. Colorado released its own plans in January, which include installing signage so that both electric vehicle and non-electric vehicle drivers become familiar with charging locations and building out fast-charging corridors.
In the initial phase of development, between 30 and 35 fast-charging stations will be built out, spaced approximately 50 miles apart along the state's major interstates and highways.
"We want to give people the confidence that if they buy an electric vehicle, they can go anywhere they want to," Williss said.
For charging deserts such as Wyoming and Montana — which lack fast public stations — the agreement represents their first major push to create electric corridors. Tesla does have "superchargers" in both states, but they're proprietary; only Tesla drivers can use them. And without other public stations handy, even Tesla owners can suffer range anxiety on the mountain states' wide-open highways.
Patrick and Nora Ivers, of Laramie, Wyoming, experienced this firsthand when they ventured to Casper last fall in their Tesla S, which can travel up to 350 miles on a single charge. The 151-mile drive to Casper ate up 52 percent of their charge, leaving the Ivers to juice the battery back up at what's called a "destination station," a port that gives electric vehicle drivers between 2 percent and 5 percent of extra charge per hour. Several hours later, the battery had reached 62 percent; they made it home with just 11 percent to spare. Nora called it a "real nail-biting trip."
In Montana, where electric vehicle adoption has been slower, infrastructure is seen as necessary for tourists. Chris Calwell, an electric vehicle driver from Durango, said taking his Tesla on road trips sometimes dictated where he could and could not go and forced him to take long layovers to recharge. By adding charging stations, Montana hopes to encourage more drivers like him to visit.
"A lot of our tourism does come from those neighboring states," said Laura Anderson, who heads Montana's Energy Office. "And so in Montana, the push (is) to become compatible with the region and keep tourism within the state."
In some places, though, rural communities are already filling the gaps in the charging landscape. They've figured out that getting electric vehicle drivers to stop to recharge can be good for the local economy, luring travelers into shops and restaurants while they wait.
"If you look at the list of places that have (electric vehicle) charging stations, it is not all the super-liberal enclaves of Montana," said Skye Borden, state director for Environment Montana, an advocacy group. "It is just a lot of communities that decided it was a good business decision."
Lima, Montana, with a population of just more than 200, has eight Tesla stations, for instance. Situated between Glacier National Park and Salt Lake City, it's a convenient waypoint for travelers.
Calwell thinks that in a few years, all this hubbub about charging stations and electric car adoption will be a distant memory.
"As we get to see bigger and bigger batteries, and more and more charging stations, people will kind of laugh about the early days," he speculates. "We'll reach a point in the future when younger people will be asking, 'So, what was a gas station like?'"

Retailers are facing a shipping squeeze, and the trucking industry just can't keep up.
According to the American Trucking Associations, there's a shortage of roughly 50,000 truck drivers across the country. And it's hitting both businesses and consumers in the wallet.
Companies are complaining about how the driver shortage is impacting their business. Meanwhile, the cost of convenient shipping is starting to catch up with consumers.
Amazon recently hiked its Prime membership to $119 a year from $99 a year. The retail giant said one of the reasons for the price jump was increased shipping costs.
But the driver shortage isn't just because of demand created by online shopping. There's a lot going on behind the scenes, according to Bob Costello, chief economist at American Trucking Associations.
CLOSE It calls them the “iPhone of trucking.” Time
"We have a demographics problem, demand is strong, trucks haul over 70 percent of the freight tonnage, our average age is very high, [and] we don't have enough females," said Costello.
"So much of it revolves around demographics."
To be fair, the trucking lifestyle isn't exactly an easy sell. Truck drivers work long hours, they're away from home for weeks on end, and oftentimes sleep inside the trucks themselves.
Now, there's a new technology limiting the hours a truck driver can work in a given day – electronic logging devices (ELDs).

And then there's Elon Musk. He's using Tesla to develop a fully electric semi truck that could change the industry. He's not the only one looking to disrupt trucking as we know it.
Goldman Sachs estimates that self-driving cars could cost American drivers up to 25,000 jobs a month. But the trucking industry isn't quite ready to go autonomous yet.
"Driverless trucks are decades away," Costello said. "That is not the solution."
The ATA says we'll need 898,000 more drivers over the next decade to keep up with growth and demand. It's not exactly clear how the trucking industry is going to shake out.
But until the shortage issue is resolved, companies and consumers alike will likely be stuck with the trickle-down effects of this driver shortage.

Question: RapidPlas Offers Livestock Watering Troughs and Packages

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

Due to the scorching temperatures of the summer and the forecast of another severe heat wave, Local Land Services (LLS) District Veterinarian teams throughout Australia warn livestock owners of the impact of high temperatures on their livestock.
[TAMWORTH, 30/5/2018] – With high temperatures in Australia continuing, livestock owners are advised by LLC vets to follow several techniques when handling livestock during the hot weather. This includes working with livestock in the early morning or in the evening when the temperature is cooler, and ensuring access to a sufficient amount of clean drinking water throughout the day.
The Impact of Humidity and Access to Water
Dr Jillian Kelly, Central West LLS Veterinarian, states that livestock owners should consider the impact of two important points, humidity during summer and access to water points.
If, for example, the temperature is 35°C and the humidity is 10 per cent, a sheep’s body temperature will reach an average 32°C; however, if the humidity reaches 50 per cent, a sheep’s temperature can increase to 41°C. According to Dr Kelly, this results to damage to body tissues and extreme danger of heat stress.
If the water in rivers or dams is at a low level, livestock will crowd on the water source, stepping in the water and leaving a concentration of animal waste. This contaminates the water and increases the chances of livestock becoming bogged down in mud. If other livestock notice that the water is dirty, they may reject it. Therefore, livestock owners are advised to consider other options such as installing fences around water points or pumping water to troughs.
Providing Quality Watering Troughs to Livestock
RapidPlas offers durable tanks and accessories that are suitable for livestock watering, including high-quality water troughs for horses, cattle and sheep. For livestock owners who are planning to set up their own livestock watering system, they can purchase RapidPlas’ cost-effective packages that are delivered to farms for free.
The company’s range of water troughs has rims with smooth sides, which are less abrasive for the animal’s legs. They provide long rectangular troughs and troughs that feature 360° access to accommodate larger numbers of animals. RapidPlas’ watering troughs provide cooler and cleaner water to keep livestock hydrated.
About RapidPlas
Established in 1990, RapidPlas is a family owned business that manufactures a range of agricultural, residential and commercial polyethylene products such as rainwater tanks, fertilser tanks, feed and water troughs and other animal care products.

Question: Toronto FC gets MLS championship bling

The rings have the red-garnet-coloured Toronto FC emblem in a black circle on the front, framed with the words MLS Cup on top and Champions below.
The player's name and number — complete with diamond — are on one side. The Philip F. Anschutz Trophy and team motto "All for One" adorns the other.
The team's 20-5-9 regular-season record and MLS record 59 points are inscribed on the inside of the ring. There are three stones stamped into the bottom of the ring to mark the three trophies won: the MLS Cup, Canadian Championship and Supporters' Shield.
Baron says it takes 10-12 weeks to make the rings. The process starts with a 3-D modelling program, which becomes a wax model that is casted.
The MLSE order called for 795 rings, with the exact bling varying over five different tiers.
"Every (MLSE) staff member is getting one," said Manning, who already has an MLS championship ring from 2009 with Real Salt Lake and a USL ring from 1999 with the Minnesota Thunder plus an NFC Conference champions ring in 2004 with the Philadelphia Eagles.
That includes the soccer team's "go-to babysitters" and BMO Field security.
"When we say all for one, it does mean everybody," said Manning
The staff rings are slated to be handed out Thursday.
The TFC boss declined to say how much the player rings cost.
"But I'll tell you that we as a company invested a lot of money not only for the players but our staff," he said.
Suffice to say you could probably buy a modest economy car with the cost of the deluxe players' ring.
The TFC players were quick to show off the new bling on social media. Striker Jozy Altidore posted a photo of himself wearing the massive rink on his little finger.
"I would pinky swear, but my pinky ring is too big," he wrote.
Italian forward Sebastian Giovinco posted a close-up of his ring-wearing hand with the caption "The Lord of the Ring."
"Got a Ring!!!" tweeted defender Chris Mavinga, with several shots of his new jewelry.
Baron Championship Rings is a family affair, founded some 30 years ago. Richard Baron started with a Toronto jewelry store that did class and other rings but the business expanded into championship rings about 10 years ago.
Baron and Jostens, based out of Minneapolis, are the big players in championship bling. Jostens did the rings for the Houston Astros, Seattle Sounders, Pittsburgh Penguins, New England Patriots and Chicago Cubs to celebrate their recent titles and have partnered with the reigning NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles.
By the Bling
A look at the Toronto FC player championship rings:
— Each one has an approximate 3.30 carat weight.
— The ring includes 132 round brilliant diamonds, 42 princess-cut black diamonds, 2 custom-made black onyx stones (for the T logo), and a red garnet stone (with Toronto encrusted in it).
— The ring is 10-karat white gold ring with a 14-karat yellow gold star at the top.
— Each rings weighs about 80 to 85 grams (depending on finger size), measuring 30 by 34 millimetres.

Question: Ravenswood district gets $1.5 million grant for teacher development

represent this text to find a news title for it

An organization created by Facebook’s CEO is working with a local school district struggling with low student reading and math proficiency rates by getting the best training possible for its teachers.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which was founded in December 2015 by Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, is providing a $1.5 million grant to the Ravenswood City School District for the next years to provide professional development and coaching for teachers, the district announced Friday .
That money will go to the Santa Cruz-based New Teacher Center, which will use it to provide professional learning opportunities and provide coaches for teachers in their classrooms, as it has for the past two years, also with money from Chan Zuckerberg. TOSA Foundation, run by Tashia and John Morgridge, also supports the effort, as well as other needs of the district dating back 25 years.
The goal, according to district Superintendent Gloria Hernandez-Goff, is that in the next two years, the district will have as many as 25 teachers on hand trained to coach other teachers so that the training no longer requires outside funding.
“Most of our elementary, early-grade teachers have received training at this point,” Hernandez-Goff said. “Now our focus is on experienced teachers that have been receiving training for the past two years. They are being trained to be coaching by the end of next school year. … It will be self-sustaining by the start of 2019-20.”
The district has made some recent gains in proficiency rates. Last school year, the district said 45 percent of students were considered proficient in math and reading, 45 percent of students were meeting or exceeding their grade level and 50 percent are nearing proficiency, with just 5 percent still lagging. For 2015-16, just 19 percent of students scored as proficient in English in state tests, and just 12 percent were proficient in math.
Hernandez-Goff said the district’s new Comprehensive Middle School, part of its “New Ravenswood” concept, which this school year consolidated middle school classrooms spread over five campuses into one school site — as well as middle-school graduates moving on to Menlo-Atherton High School instead of four different high schools — is helping to boost student performance in the later grades.
The K-8 district operates seven schools in East Palo Alto and Menlo Park, serving more than 2,800 students. Roughly 75 percent of Ravenswood students are English-language learners, roughly 90 percent live in poverty and 44 percent identify as homeless, meaning they have no set residence.

Question: When Dating In The Era Of Divisive Politics, Both Sides Stick To Themselves

Represent this text to find a news title for it:

They say opposites attract. But these days, maybe not so much.
A growing number of singles are adding a clause to their online dating profiles telling either Trump haters or Trump supporters — depending on their political preference — that they need not apply.
"This was like a deal breaker for me," says 50-year-old Elizabeth Jagosz from the Detroit area. "If you are Trump supporter, I'm not even going to consider meeting you for coffee."
It's not just an issue of party politics, Jagosz says. It's about core values. Love, she says, cannot conquer all.
"If you don't care about a person who says you can grab women by the pussy and that's OK — I don't wanna date you if you think that behavior's OK," Jagosz says. "If that's not a deal breaker for you, then you and I have nothing to talk about."
As another single put it in her profile, "Red hats need not apply."
But the people wearing those red hats — the ones stamped with "Make America Great Again" — have been feeling the same way.
This lack of desire from liberals and conservatives to date each other is what David Goss says prompted him to launch TrumpSingles.com.
"Yeah, it's both ways," Goss says. "You know, like a liberal doesn't want to date a Nazi. And a republican doesn't want to date, well, a whiny snowflake, and that's what they're viewing each other as."
TrumpSingles.com is a kind of safe space for Trump supporters who say they're sick of the "lefties" refusing to even give them a chance.
"[The liberals] are just repeating this left echo chamber of 'Oh, you must be a racist; oh, you must be a homophobe; oh, you must be a misogynist,' " Goss says. "They're judging the people based on who they voted for without actually getting to know them."
Helen Fisher, the chief scientific adviser to the Internet dating website Match.com, says new research from the website shows both liberals and conservatives are moving away from the center of the political spectrum.
"There's a real distinct difference that we're seeing today, and all singles are becoming more rigid in their views," she says.
The data also shows that singles are more likely now to shun those who are at the other end of the political spectrum. And liberals are more likely to spurn conservatives than the other way around.
"I think it's very natural to the human animal to bring it into the idea of 'OK, you like this person, well, you must be like that person then,' " Fisher says. "America is taking this very, very personally. No question about it."
Looking back now, it seems almost unfathomable that even two opposing campaign advisers could cross the aisle and then actually walk down the aisle as James Carville and Mary Matalin did in 1993.
As Carville famously put it once, "You can love the sinner and hate the sin."
The couple says their secret to survival and harmony at home is simply agreeing to disagree.
But today, singles seem to be saying they just can't do that.
"I mean, I wish I could just go out and tell everyone to knock it off and be cool with each other, but it's just not going to work that way," Goss says.
His Trump Singles dating site is up to 35,000 members. LiberalHearts.com, founded by Salvatore Prano, is up to nearly 50,000.
"There's more activity now than ever," Prano says. "I knew liberals would only find comfort in each other's arms."
But there is one other option for lonely liberals. Single Joe Goldman founded MapleMatch.com, a dating site that helps Americans find Canadians "to save them from the unfathomable horror of a Trump presidency." Goldman became his own first client.
"I can't tell you the sinking feeling I felt [after the election]," he says. "That's not the country I want to live in. So why not consider places that might be more in line with my values, like Canada."
It may be better than the alternative. According to the new Match.com survey, a growing number of liberals today are simply choosing to not date at all.

Question: Donald Trump team seeks to nail down details of Kim Jong Un meeting

People at a Seoul railway station watch a TV screen showing President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Lee Jin-man, AP
WASHINGTON — President Trump huddled with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the White House on Wednesday as aides across the globe scrambled to nail down final details of a high-stakes summit with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un.
“We’re continuing to prepare for the meeting between the president and the North Korean leader," White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said, adding that officials hope it will happen as originally scheduled for June 12 in Singapore.
"As the president says, if it happens, we'll certainly be ready," Sanders said.
After his Oval Office meeting with Trump, Pompeo flew to New York City for a dinner meeting with Kim Yong Chol, a top aide to Kim Jong Un whose plane landed on American soil as the president and his secretary of State met in Washington.
Pompeo and Kim Yong Chol also plan to hold a series of meetings Thursday, according to Sanders.
Meanwhile, U.S. and North Korean negotiators are discussing a potential summit agenda at meetings in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. An American advance team is in Singapore, planning the logistics of what would be a first-ever meeting between a North Korean leader and a sitting American president.
While Trump wants to revive the June 12 date, the timing is subject to negotiations. Sanders said that "we'll be ready" if the meeting is scheduled for June 12, and, "if it's not, then we'll be ready if it takes place on July 12th."

More: Top North Korean official headed to the U.S. to discuss summit between Kim Jong Un, Trump
All this activity comes less than a week after Trump announced he had canceled the meeting because of a series of critical statements from the North Korean government.
In the days since, Trump said the North Koreans have appeared more conciliatory. Kim agreed to a surprise meeting with South Korea President Moon Jae-in, who had also met with Trump at the White House and supports a re-scheduled meeting with North Korean leader.
On Tuesday, Trump himself tweeted the news of Kim Yong Chol's visit to New York City.
One hitch could follow Trump and Kim all the way to SIngapore, or even prevent a meeting altogether: Differing definitions of the term "denuclearization."
Trump and aides have spoke in terms of a "complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization" focused on North Korea's weapons programs. The North Koreans speak more about denuclearization of the entire Korean Peninsula, which presume to include the U.S. "nuclear umbrella" designed to protect the region as a whole.

Question: Trump planning tariffs on European steel, aluminum

"Unilateral responses and threats over trade war will solve nothing of the serious imbalances in the world trade. Nothing," French President Emmanuel Macron said in an impassioned speech at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris.
In a clear reference to Trump, Macron added: "These solutions might bring symbolic satisfaction in the short term. ... One can think about making voters happy by saying, 'I have a victory, I'll change the rules, you'll see.'"
But Macron said those "who waged bilateral trade wars ... saw an increase in prices and an increase in unemployment."
Tariffs on steel imports to the U.S. can help local producers of the metal by making foreign products more expensive. But they can also increase costs more broadly for U.S. manufacturers who cannot source all their steel locally and need to import the raw material. That hurts the companies and can lead to more expensive consumer prices, economists say.
Ross criticized the EU for its tough negotiating position.
"There can be negotiations with or without tariffs in place. There are plenty of tariffs the EU has on us. It's not that we can't talk just because there's tariffs," he said. He noted that "China has not used that as an excuse not to negotiate."
But German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier insisted the Europeans were being "constructive" and were ready to negotiate special trade arrangements, notably for liquefied natural gas and industrial goods, including cars.
Macron also proposed to start negotiations between the U.S., the EU, China and Japan to reshape the World Trade Organization to better regulate trade. Discussions could then be expanded to include other countries to agree on changes by the end of the year.
Ross expressed concern that the Geneva-based World Trade Organization and other organizations are too rigid and slow to adapt to changes in global business.
"We would operate within (multilateral) frameworks if we were convinced that people would move quickly," he said.
Ross and Lighthizer seemed like the odd men out at this week's gathering at the OECD, an international economic agency that includes the U.S. as a prominent member.
The agency issued a report Wednesday saying "the threat of trade restrictions has begun to adversely affect confidence" and tariffs "would negatively influence investment and jobs."

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned the Trump administration that hitting auto imports with new tariffs would have dire consequences.
''We now have tariffs on aluminum and steel and we have a discussion that is far more serious," Merkel told German lawmakers on Wednesday. "This is taking on the contours of a trade conflict — I don't want to use words that go any further. It's worth every effort to try and defuse this so that this conflict does not become a war.''
President Donald Trump has threatened to place a 20% tariff on all European cars coming to the United States if the European Union doesn't remove its own trade barriers.
Targeting cars would dramatically raise the stakes in the spat between Europe and its biggest trading partner. EU-US trade in goods and services is worth more than €1 trillion euros ($1.2 trillion) each year.
The European Union said earlier this week that America's trading partners could retaliate against nearly $300 billion of US exports if the Trump administration decides to penalize automobile imports from around the world.

In May, the US government launched an investigation into imports of automobiles, including SUVs, light trucks and auto parts.
The type of investigation, known as Section 232, is meant to determine whether the imports are hurting US national security. It's the same approach the Trump administration used before it slapped tariffs on steel and aluminum imports earlier this year.
The European Union has said the US investigation "lacks legitimacy, factual basis and violates international trade rules." And it has argued that new tariffs on autos would damage the American economy.
On Wednesday, German business groups said that tariffs would harm auto industry investment in the United States. They said there are over 300 German automotive facilities in the United States, supporting nearly 120,000 jobs.
Instead of imposing tariffs, Merkel said the United States should work with its partners to find a multilateral solution that address its trade complaints.
''Germany will do everything to prevent the situation from escalating," she said.

Question: Indian IT Outsourcers Anxious Over Potential Changes To H1-B Visas

With the Trump administration vowing to tighten rules for skilled workers entering the United States, India's software services companies are worried. Indian IT giants outsource tens of thousands of tech specialists to the United States each year, and limiting the visa program that brings them in could disrupt their multibillion-dollar industry.
Congress and the White House have targeted what is arguably the most coveted of U.S. visas: the H1-B. It's "a kind of temporary work visa that allows professionals from other countries to work in the United States for a designated U.S. employer," explains Stephen Yale-Loehr, a Cornell University immigration law professor.
Yale-Loehr says that with the economy strengthening, the program is in particularly big demand. Last year, U.S. companies that sought to bring highly skilled workers to the U.S. filed 236,000 petitions that went into a lottery for just 85,000 H1-B visas, the legal cap. The bulk of the winners: Indian computer specialists, many of them graduates of U.S. universities.
Yale-Loehr says that places like Europe and Australia have special visas to attract such talent, but that the United States doesn't.
"We have to shoehorn high-tech workers into categories like the H1-B, and it's getting more difficult every year," he says.
For many H1-B holders, the temporary work visa — issued for a maximum of six years — has been a stepping stone to obtaining a green card. That grants permanent residence in the U.S., and in turn provides a path to citizenship.
But newly introduced legislation in Congress and drafts of executive orders reportedly circulating in the Trump White House that could limit the H1-B program.
Executives from the software services firms will travel to Washington this month to lobby against measures taking aim at one of India's most successful industries — which last year earned 60 percent of its $108 billion in export revenues from the U.S.
One bill proposes more than doubling the minimum wage of H1-B holders, which by law is set at $60,000. Critics argue the H1-B has been misused to displace American workers, and that there has been an incentive to prefer Indian IT workers because they are cheaper.
Shailesh Chitnis, with the data mining and analysis company Compile, says that while the median salary for all H1-B holders is $71,000, most but not all Indian outsourcers pay below that. If they had to double salaries, Chitnis says, Indian IT companies would have to change their 20-year-old business model.
"Because these organizations are not going to be bringing in people at $120,000 to fill those jobs — it would simply be too expensive," he says. "They'll have to look at some other alternatives."
But Shevendra Singh with India's National Association of Software Services Companies, or NASSCOM, refutes allegations that Indian companies are dislocating American workers or supplying low-paid labor. Singh says there is demand in the U.S. for Indian technical talent because of a severe shortage of qualified Americans with degrees in science, technology, engineering and math.
"The crux of the issue is the STEM skill shortage in the U.S.," Singh says.
In its 2012 report, the U.S. president's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology found that "fewer than 40-percent of students who enter college intending to major in a STEM field complete a STEM degree." The council concluded that by 2022, economic forecasts suggested a need to produce "approximately 1 million more college graduates in STEM fields than expected under current assumptions."
R. Chandrashekhar, president of NASSCOM, says that if the skills aren't available in the U.S. — and companies can't bring workers in — the jobs either won't get done or they will go out of the country and be done remotely.
"Talent has become more important than investment or trade," he says. "And those who consciously cut themselves off from the global supply chains of talent are depriving themselves of a good thing."
Chandrashekhar notes that the intermingling of American and Indian ingenuity helped build Silicon Valley, and says protectionist impulses could weaken the United States, and what makes it unique.
"America is No. 1," Chandrashekhar says. "What has really helped them to rise, absolutely, to the top, is that they have attracted talent from across the world. ... It would be really a pity if that was reversed without thinking it through."
Immigration expert Yale-Loehr, co-author of a 21-volume treatise on immigration law, agrees that the United States faces a crisis in maintaining its innovative and competitive edge, and says it should be inviting more, not less, IT talent to its shores.
"In a globalized economy, the best and the brightest want to work in the best places — and if they're unable work in the United States, or it takes too long or is too difficult, they'll find a place in Canada or Europe or India where their talents can be appreciated," he says.
If implemented, Yale-Loehr says the draft executive order would initiate a review of the H1-B program but likely have no direct, immediate impact.
However, he says "it sends a strong signal that we no longer like foreign workers — we're all about only U.S. workers.
"That is eventually going to hurt us."

ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST:
In India, tech companies are worried that the Trump administration is preparing to limit visas for foreign skilled workers. A huge number of those visas called H-1Bs are held by Indians, but Congress and the White House say the program could be a threat to American jobs. From New Delhi, NPR's Julie McCarthy has more.
JULIE MCCARTHY, BYLINE: In the alphabet soup of U.S. visas, the H-1B is arguably the most coveted.
STHEPHEN YALE-LOEHR: An H-1B visa is a kind of temporary work visa that allows professionals from other countries to work in the United States for a designated U.S. employer.

The bulk of the winners - Indian computer specialists, many graduates from U.S. universities. Yale-Loehr says places like Europe and Australia have special visas to attract such talent.
YALE-LOEHR: We don't, and so we have to shoehorn those high-tech workers into existing categories like the H-1B. And it's getting more difficult every year.

Air Canada enjoyed the largest gain in satisfaction among traditional carriers in North America, rising 25 points to 734 on a 1,000-point scale.
MONTREAL — A J.D. Power survey says passenger satisfaction with the performance of Canada’s two largest airlines has grown in the past year.
Airline investments in newer planes, handling of luggage and cheaper fares drove a seventh straight year of improved customer satisfaction.
Each Canadian airline ranked third overall in their respective segments.
WestJet scored 747 in the low-cost carrier segment, up from 736 a year ago.
Alaska Airlines ranks highest among traditional carriers for the 11th consecutive year, while Southwest Airlines tops the low-cost carrier list for a second straight year.
Satisfaction with United Airlines dropped. The U.S. carrier received undesirable global attention after a passenger was dragged off an overbooked flight.
The exceptions to improved satisfaction with North American airlines were in the categories of in-flight services, including food, beverage and entertainment systems.
The study of business and leisure travellers is based on responses from 11,508 passengers who flew on a major North American airline between March 2017 and March 2018.

Teesside students could be taking their place at two of the world’s most prestigious universities this September.
Once again, several Year 13s beat strong competition to secure conditional offers from Oxford and Cambridge.
Five students at Yarm School have been offered places at Oxford University.
They will be studying a wide variety of subjects, including economics & management, German & Russian, bio-chemistry and French.
Katie Anderson and Sophie Elliot have received offers from Brasenose College, Isobel Jury from Worcester College, and Michael Lister and Phoebe White from Pembroke and Keble Colleges respectively.
David Dunn, headmaster at Yarm School, said he was “extremely proud” to have five students secure sought-after offers from the prestigious university.
Teesside High School’s Samantha Pinches has received an offer to read music at the University of Cambridge.
She already has Grade 8 Piano, Grade 8 Flute and Grade 7 Classical Voice, and is part of the school orchestra and Upper School Choir.
She is a choral soloist at Durham Cathedral and has performed in venues such as Birmingham’s Symphony Hall with the North East Regional Choir.
Samantha, who studies German, mathematics and music at A-level, said she is “overjoyed” to get an offer after an “intense selection process”.
Jane Bird, head of sixth form at Teesside High School, said: “Sam has shown herself to be an asset to THS Sixth Form and we are delighted her hard work, commitment and natural talent have been recognised.”
Over at Prior Pursglove College, two students have been offered places at the top universities.
The successful applicants are former Laurence Jackson pupil Jack Saville and Rebecca Aspin, who used to go to Sacred Heart RC School.
Jack has received an offer to study Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, and Rebecca has been offered a place to study Earth Sciences (Geology) at the University of Oxford.
Joanna Bailey, principal of Prior Pursglove College, said: “We are delighted that the college continues to be successful in sending students to Oxford and Cambridge."
The principal added: “Jack and Rebecca’s hard work and passion for their chosen subjects has been rewarded by these offers, competition for which is extremely fierce.”

The CBS late-night segment will stream on Apple Music in a similar format, but with new guests and even crazier moments behind the wheel. The concept, which has broken YouTube records and dominated social media, remains as simple and delightful as ever. Only this time, a rotating cast of celebrities will replace James Corden.

Question: Security guard at 9/11 memorial charged with trafficking

news
The security guard, Maquan Moore, 29, of Manhattan, allegedly conspired with Morris Wilson, 32, of Orlando, Florida, to sell the guns.
Prosecutors say Moore sold several guns to an undercover officer in lower Manhattan, and that Wilson brought some of the weapons to New York from Florida.
Each faces multiple counts related to the movement, transportation and receipt of firearms. If convicted of all counts, Moore would face a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison; Wilson would face 15 years.
Lawyers for the two men could not immediately be reached Friday.
The men “are responsible for illegally introducing into Manhattan scores of illegal firearms — including assault-style weapons capable of inflicting mass casualties — and knowingly doing so in the neighborhood of a nearby school,” Geoffrey S. Berman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement Friday.
“Their alleged disregard for public safety could have had catastrophic consequences. The danger of selling unlicensed firearms cannot be overstated.”
An undercover law enforcement officer bought 27 firearms from Moore during four sales in December and January in downtown Manhattan, according to court documents.
At one point during that period, Wilson sent an undercover officer a cellphone picture of seven firearms available for purchase, authorities said.
Then, on Thursday, an undercover officer purchased additional firearms from Moore, some of which had been brought to New York from Florida by Wilson, prosectors say. The authorities say they seized an additional 21 firearms when they arrested the men.
“Their actions,” James P. O’Neill, the New York police commissioner, said of the men, “could have jeopardized the lives of an untold number of citizens as we have seen far too often.”
