Recent research has discovered that contrary to popular opinion, outpatient electronic prescribing systems still create the common and same errors that take place in manual systems.
The research involved analyses of 3,850 prescriptions that came from the e-prescription system. These prescriptions were delivered to a drug store chain scattered over three different states in the US for one month. The study has discovered that among the prescriptions, almost 12% (nearly 452) contained errors or mistakes. The even more alarming thing is that a third of those mistakes all come with the harmful risks.
Although none of the 163 errors were classified as life-threatening, the number of 'significant' and 'serious' effects still raised worries. 58 percent of the errors were found to trigger rashes, headaches or diarrhoea (and are thus termed significant) while 42 percent could promote a lower heart rate, fainting and low blood sugar (also referred to as serious).
The study found out that 27% of the errors involved nervous system drugs. With 13.5% percent of them covered drugs aimed at the cardiovascular system. And, 12.3% pointed to antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs.
The errors committed by the 13 electronic prescribing systems which were analysed by the study actually differed. Their percentages of committing those mistakes ranged from 5% up to 37%. The study which was published in the online edition of the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association last June 29 disclosed that fact.
Dr. Karen Nanji and her colleagues at Massachusetts General Hospital's department of anaesthesia, critical care and pain medicine remarked that the providers seems to rapidly adopt electronic health records and computerised prescribing, and one included in the main anticipated benefits is expected to be done by medication-error reduction.
However, according to the authors of the study - medication errors would not be decreased if the computerised prescribing system does not have a comprehensive functionality and processes set in place - which ensure a meaningful use of the system.

Oil in Libya climbs by 4% amid IS attacks
BY Libyan Express Jan 22, 2016 - 12:24 Updated: Jan 25, 2016 - 09:32
Oil futures settled with a gain of more than 4% on Thursday, rebounding on the back of what analysts referred to as "oversold" conditions, as reports of attacks on Libyan oil terminals reminded the market of the risks to supplies in the Middle East.
Advances for oil came despite a hefty increase in weekly U.S. crude inventories. The natural-gas market, meanwhile, rose even as its own supply data revealed a smaller-than-expected weekly decline.
March West Texas Intermediate crude CLH6, +9.21% jumped $1.18, or 4.2%, to settle at $29.53 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after trading as high as $30.25. Moves for WTI came in fits and starts. It was trading around $28.57 before the supply data and fell initially in the wake, before surging after the Libya news.
March-dated Brent crude LCOH6, +9.68% the global oil benchmark, leapt $1.37, or 4.9%, to $29.25 a barrel on London's ICE Futures exchange.
Both benchmarks had fallen to their lowest levels since 2003 on Wednesday.
Two issues provided support for oil Thursday, said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group. The increase in crude reported by the Energy Information Administration early Thursday was less than the American Petroleum Institute's report released on Wednesday. In addition, there are reports of Libyan oil tanks on fire.
AFP reported Islamic State group attacked oil facilities in northern Libya in attempts to seize key export terminals.
The news "set back the expectations that Libya would be exporting more oil soon," said Flynn.
But Tim Evans, chief market strategist at Long Leaf Trading Group, wasn't convinced that the Libya news was the big reason for the oil-price climb. He said the amount of crude involved is "negligible with respect to global supplies."
Instead, "risk aversion has declined across the full spectrum of markets," he said. So "crude's increase is consistent with the increases seen in other markets." U.S. and European equities moved higher Thursday.
Still, the violence in Libya helped to offset what would otherwise be seen as bearish U.S. supply data.
The EIA reported that crude inventories rose by four million barrels for the week ended Jan. 15. That was lower than the 4.6 million-barrel climb reported by theAmerican Petroleum Institute on Wednesday, but analysts polled by Platts expected supplies to be up by a smaller 2.9 million barrels.
Also supportive for prices, oil production in the lower 48 states edged lower for the first time in seven weeks, "which is at least 'less bearish' for the extremely oversupplied global oil market and reason enough for some bears to book profits after the most recent price slide," said Tyler Richey, co-editor of The 7:00's Report.
Gasoline supplies climbed by 4.6 million barrels, while distillate stockpiles fell by one million barrels last week, according to the EIA.
On Nymex, reformulated gasoline blendstock for February RBH6, +4.71% added 1.4 cents, or 1.3%, to $1.031 a gallon and February heating oil HOG6, +11.14% rose 3.2 cents, or 3.7%, to 89.75 cents a gallon. Read: The cheapest places to buy gas, in one map
Overall, oil-market sentiment "remains bearish across the board despite a pop in crude-oil prices immediately following the data release," said John Macaluso, an analyst at Tyche Capital Advisors, "This technical oversold rally should be sold into until fundamentals change."
Meanwhile, natural-gas prices got a boost from overall strength in the energy-futures market. The February contract NGG16, -0.37% added 2 cents, or 0.9%, to $2.138 per million British thermal units.
The EIA reported Thursday that supplies of the commodity fell by 178 billion cubic feet for the week ended Jan. 15. That was less than the decrease of between 183 billion cubic feet and 187 billion cubic feet expected by analysts polled by Platts.

As the world leader in creative tools, Adobe is changing the way people work all over the globe. Their software programs are industry-standard and are used by artists, designers, and developers everywhere.
Jibe has worked with Adobe over the years in a variety of capacities, including event branding and product marketing. Below are a few of our favorite projects over the years.
Bike2Work is an annual event that Adobe holds for its employees to encourage a healthy and sustainable (and fun!) lifestyle. Employees who participate receive event-branded swag specific to each year.
Field Trip is an annual science-focused event that Adobe puts on for its employees and their children. This event is meant to be fun and educational, with workshops and classes offered for a variety of ages and interests. Each year we are given a theme (such as space exploration or safari adventure), and our design solutions are expected to evoke the youthfulness and energy of this "bring your kid to work day" style event. For the past several years, an adorable young alien character has served as the mascot, and its outfit changes with the theme.
Such a full-scale event lends itself to some fun swag: name tag lanyards, badges, t-shirts, posters, stickers, backdrops, and many more. All reinforce the theme and help create a memorable experience for adults and their kids.
As a world leader in creative products, Adobe frequently releases new and updated software and features. We created a series of fun motion graphics to illustrate Adobe's expanding software capabilities. The motion graphics were primarily used for social media and were meant to be short, fun, and engaging.
In order to highlight various updates to Adobe Creative Cloud's capabilities, we created an endearing and sassy Illustrator character. Fast and fun, these 30-second motion graphics are ideal for pausing that social scroll.
The culinary team at Adobe's Lehi office was in need of t-shirt graphics that reflected their emphasis on health and wellness and the importance of food in our lives. We took this as a creative opportunity to create tasty designs with a hearty message.

Harold Lyon, 2017 Intellectual Benefits to Society Award winner
Dr. Harold Lyon is being recognized for his decades-long career in the field of education, specifically his work in governance and policy-setting in the field of gifted children.
After working with the White House Task Force on the Gifted and Talented, Dr. Lyon became the first national Director of Education for the Gifted and Talented at the U.S. Department of Education. Under his leadership, teams of leaders were trained in every state, private foundation support was stimulated and national mentor programs were developed.
Dr. Lyon worked to broaden the federal definition of gifted and talented to include divergent-thinking creative children, and he worked with Sen. Jacob Javits to pass the Jacob Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act. The federal definition of gifted and talented was broadened from the strictly high IQ and academically gifted children to include those with more diverse gifts, including divergent-thinking creative children, the artistically talented, gifted young leaders or the psycho-socially gifted. In addition, it resulted in more effective ways to identify and help the gifted and talented from low-income and diversely ethnic populations.
"As a result of Hal's eight years of leadership as Federal Director of Education for the Gifted and Talented, a growing concern for gifted and talented youth emerged," said Dr. Carl R. Rogers in a letter of nomination. "Teams of leaders were trained from virtually every state, private foundation support was stimulated, and national mentor programs were developed. Through Hal Lyon's leadership a humanistic thread of concern for the whole person, affective as well as intellectual, has been woven throughout this national effort for bright and creative youth."
Dr. Lyon worked cooperatively in a non-bureaucratic fashion with private foundations to convince them to elevate education of gifted and talented children to higher funding priorities, providing them with excellent proposals his office did not have sufficient money to fund, enlisting them to fund innovative programs for the gifted. Out of these efforts came exemplary programs such as the Exploration Scholarship Program — taking gifted students on worldwide explorations as working members of the scientific expeditions funded by Dewitt Wallace of Readers Digest, the Explorers Club, the Smithsonian and National Geographic.
Dr. Lyon's international efforts included helping to plan the first World Council on Gifted Children, and he was the keynote speaker at the second World Council, held in San Francisco in 1980.

To start off the summer this year I went to Maui Hawaii! In Hawaii we went on many adventures and saw some amazing things!
And now I'm going to tell you some things about my awesome trip to Hawaii, because I think that even if not everybody can actually go and see Hawaii in person, everybody should at least know how fun it is, what it looks like, and some things about it, so they feel like they are there.
One of things, we did a many of times and that's going to the beach. We were in Hawaii so of course we had to go to the beach and enjoy the heat, sunlight, sand and of course the beautiful ocean. What we did, is we went to a bunch of different beaches throughout the vacation! By the end of the vacation we said that we went to all the beaches in Maui because we went to one almost every day and it was so much fun exploring seeing seeing, and relaxing at the beaches. We had a blast at every single beach because we just relaxed and did what we want and just had fun in Maui! I would say that going to a bunch of different beaches is the way to go in Maui, so if you go to Maui now you know one thing that you might want to do!
One of the favorite things I did is take surfing lessons! I took them off a beach in a a town cute little town called Lahaina! So what we did first is we all got our boards and put them in the sand and he showed us the stance for surfing and how to get up and down on the board also he taught us how to maneuver with the board. Once we got into the crystal blue water we all paddled on the board to a boogie where we waited while the other students went. In the space where they did the lessons there was a bunch of other lessons going on so I was a little worried that I was going to hit someone or the someone was going to hit me.But once I got used to it I was fine and didn't mind all the people.The thing about the lessons that they do that I took one lesson from is that the teachers are nice, also they are really good at teaching it and they critique you, but they were so good because they told you when to paddle and get up and they taught you well how to do it and the at that spot the waves were perfect and easy to learn in. on my first try getting up in the water surfing I got up right away and stood up there riding the waves! I got up and stood many times throughout the lesson but sometimes I failed or fell off, but I came out doing pretty well and not failing to much and most importantly I came out knowing how to surf! Just a heads up if you ever want to try surfing be sure to wear a rash guard which they provided for me and make sure it doesn't come up because mine did and I got a rash on my stomach and on my thighs, but I still think you should try it because it is a blast and it's a great thing to know how to do!
Another fun thing we did in Maui is we did a lot of snorkeling, which I didn't mind doing it so much because I love to snorkel and snorkeling in Hawaii made me love it even more! One of the things we did that involved snorkeling is a snorkeling trip to another island called Lanai pronounced with an ee sound at the end. So the catamaran picked us up in Maui and it cruised over to Lanai where they own a bunch of beach land, so they had a bunch of snorkeling gear set up and the extremely caring and nice boat attendants and workers throughout the day helped me find gear and a flotation device.Then e got in a van and they took us on a tour of the island along with the some other people on the snorkeling trip. Also while snorkeling they gave us potato chips and cookies that they put on a table on the long spot of beach they owned along with many other stuff they owned like a nature trail on the beach, some tide pools and much more! We just snorkeled but I would have loved to do the other fun things! We did the island tour so we didn't have time for the other fun things, but that was also terrific and still worth it! The little town up on the top of the island was so cute! Only 3,000 people live there we learned! If you go to Hawaii I think you should definitely go to Lanai it was so amazing!
This review only told about some of the stuff we did in Maui, Hawaii but we did much MUCH more! And it was really an amazing trip, feeling and experience that I think everybody should feel and know so I really hope that I made you feel like you were there from this review for at least a little while. I can't tell you enough good about Hawaii because it was a spectacular trip!!
Hawaii sounds like a lot of fun! You sure are lucky!
I always wanted to go to Hawaii. It seems so beautiful and surfing seems fun. I hope one day I can go with my family on a vacation to Hawaii. I always thought snorkeling and surfing seemed really fun. Great job!
This sounds really fun, but I would never try to surf or snorkel though. Were there volcanoes?
That sounds great. I would love to go to Hawaii and take surfing lessons. It would be really cool to go to different beaches. This is great and makes me want to go there too.
That sounds really fun. I want to go to Hawaii.

RESTAURANT and SUPPLY CHAIN resiliency AMID THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
RESTAURANT and SUPPLY CHAIN resiliency AMID THE COVID-19 PANDEMICRESTAURANT and SUPPLY CHAIN resiliency AMID THE COVID-19 PANDEMICRESTAURANT and SUPPLY CHAIN resiliency AMID THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become clear that the US food-supply system is vulnerable. As the pandemic forced restaurants to close, or dramatically curtail operations, the news reported that farmers were discarding products because the buyers (restaurants) were no longer buying.
Now we are seeing that many restaurants have closed down. Those that remain open may face challenges in supplying their restaurant with food at the same quality and price as in the past. Some have been able to adjust their business models and innovate. The goal of this project is to understand how the restaurants and, in turn, the supply network have adapted during the COVID-19 crisis.
Key questions include:
Why have some restaurants been able to adapt?
What strategies have they used to adapt?
Does a restaurant's relationships with the suppliers and other restaurants help more?
How does the location of the restaurant and the suppliers factor in?
This research is funded by the National Science Foundation's RAPID COVID response grants (2032308).
We are comparing three cities across the US that have varying supply chains. The collaborative project is led by Tracy Van Holt who will oversee research in New York City, New York, Jeffrey C. Johnson, who will oversee research in Gainesville, Florida, and Craig Carter, who oversees research in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, Arizona.
This research is a collaboration between New York University Stern School of Business (NYU), Arizona State University W.P. Carey School of Business (ASU), and University of Florida School of Liberal Arts and Sciences (UF). The project is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

You've accumulated too much credit card debt and something has to give! The monthly payments are more than you can handle and you're heading for real financial trouble! The good news is that you are not alone. Thousands of people are taking advantage of the many debt relief options available today.
But how do you know what they are and which one is the best for you? Let's take a look.
One of the more popular debt relief options is Bankruptcy. Many people don't feel comfortable filing bankruptcy because they would be marked for life or it would be detrimental to their career.
But keep in mind that in 2010, the banks lobbied Congress to make it much more difficult to file Bankruptcy and walk away from your debts. In fact, if you have an income, it may be impossible to wipe the slate clean with bankruptcy. If you are considering this option, you will need to consult with a reputable Bankruptcy attorney.
Another option is Consumer Credit Counseling. The credit card companies learned a long time ago that some people can't even pay their minimum payments. rather than watch them default with no hope to recover their money, they supported forming non-profit Debt Management firms where they send their troubled clients.
Firstly, it tends not to give you a break in the amount you owe, which means you end up paying back 100% of your balance at a much reduced interest rate.
Secondly, participating in a DMP is viewed as a negative item on your credit report that many lenders view much like a bankruptcy when it comes time to offer you new credit.
Another option for your debt relief is called Debt Settlement. It's one of the more popular options when you want to do the right thing, you don't want a public record of Bankruptcy and you want the opportunity to pay LESS than you owe.
Debt settlement is an aggressive approach to debt relief where your creditors receive a smaller but equitable share of their money over time due to a demonstrated financial hardship you have experienced.
Debt settlement plans last anywhere from 1-4 years and allow you to set aside a small amount that you can afford into a special purpose savings account that YOU control.
As you build funds in this account, they are used to negotiate settlements with your creditors and ultimately relieve you of your debt.
Because there is no bankruptcy involved and the goal is to settle the account in full for LESS than you owe, this is the best option for rebuilding your credit reputation. It shows you didn't simply walk away from your debts and your creditors did receive their share.
Our organization specializes in debt settlement AND you do not a pay fee until we settle your accounts one creditor at a time.

HARRISBURG, PA — The Department of Health proclaimed that are encouraged all COVID-19 vaccine providers to start vaccinating anyone age 12 and over with the Pfizer vaccine as recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices held a meeting this week to review the data and make an official recommendation to use the vaccine for this age group. The CDC also said that the Pfizer vaccine could be co-administered with other routine vaccinations.
"Hundreds of vaccine providers in Pennsylvania already have Pfizer vaccine on hand and are ready to safely and efficiently vaccinate people in this age group," Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam said, noting that the state's vaccine provider network is expanding each week.
People can find Pfizer vaccination locations near them using Vaccines.gov, also known as Vaccine Finder. Individuals also can text their zip code to GETVAX (438829) for English, or VACUNA (822862) for Spanish and receive three possible vaccination sites in their area, then choose locations based on availability of the Pfizer vaccine.
In Pennsylvania, immunizations, like other general medical services, require consent. The Department of Health recommends that vaccine providers follow their current policy for vaccinations of minors.
"Once all of the approvals are in place, Pennsylvania vaccine providers will be ready to begin vaccinating these young people to add them to the more than 5.7 million Pennsylvanians who have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine so far," Acting Secretary Beam said.

The eligibility of 12- to 15-year-olds does not change the Department of Health's criteria for at least 70 percent of Pennsylvania adults to get fully vaccinated for the state's mask mandate to be lifted. According to the CDC, as of this morning, 46.2 percent of Pennsylvanians age 18 and older are fully vaccinated.

However, here are a few ways you can get involved:
Join the board of your local Celtic non-profit organization.
Volunteer to work at your local Celtic festival.
Help a board member organize and promote an upcoming event.
Do you know Gaelic? Share your gift by teaching workshop on the basics of speaking the language.
Pass out fliers about your your Celtic community at a St. Patrick's Day celebration (make sure to ask permission if it's at a pub).
Got a special talent? Donate your talents to your community. It doesn't have to be Celtic related. Just share.

Caplin & Drysdale's Trevor Potter, head of the firm's Political Law Group, was interviewed by CNN's Christiane Amanpour concerning allegations of wrongdoing by President Trump. Below is an excerpt of the interview and please follow this link to view the video.
Clearly, the White House is feeling the heat. And the president has yet to announce a new chief of staff when John Kelly stands down at the end of the month. So, to try to dissect all of this and to discuss the U.S. government's accusations is Trevor Potter. He is a form[er] . . . commission[er] and chair of the U.S. Federal Election Commission. And also joining us, former federal prosecutor and writer for "The New Yorker" Jeffrey Toobin.
So, it does seem like there's this rolling sense of crisis across the Atlantic. It's been bubbling and boiling for a long time.
Let me first ask you Trevor Potter and given that you are a former official with the Federal election -- the Republican Election Commission. What does this say to you now, all of what has been dropped by prosecutors, the advice that Mueller had to the prosecutors in New York and what's going on with Trump and the payoffs to these women?
TREVOR POTTER, FORMER CHAIRMAN. U.S. FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION: Well, we now know that the prosecutors have a great deal of evidence, not only that these payments occurred and, of course, President Trump for a long time maintained that they didn't, but that they were done from two sources, both of which constitute illegal expenditures if they are campaign related. One is Michael Cohen himself, the president's personal lawyer, and the other is the company that owns the "National Enquirer" and corporations in the U.S. are prohibited from spending money on behalf of candidates.
So, the prosecutors say the money was spent, these two women were paid in two different ways in the middle of the presidential campaign, really at the end, in September and October of 2016. And Mr. Cohen, and this is really the important point, has pled guilty to violating the criminal laws in doing so.
So, he says that he did these things, that they were deliberate attempts to avoid the reporting and contribution limits of the federal election laws and he did so at the direction of President Trump.
So, that is what brings this right into the president's living room, is that his former lawyer is saying Trump organized the whole thing.
POTTER: Now, the president says, "That's not true. It's my word against his." Part of the question is, what evidence do the prosecutors have, we know they have some tapes, we know there are other witnesses who they have interviewed. So, that's what will play out going forward.
AMANPOUR: So, before I turn to Jeffrey Toobin, how big a deal from your perspective as a Republican former official is this? How big a deal is this for the president now?
POTTER: Well, he has the argument -- makes the argument that these were purely personal payments, they had nothing to do with the campaign. On the facts, that seems a real stretch because they were made only in the closing days of the campaign. In one of the cases this -- one of the women had made these charges years before, there was no payment then, suddenly it was important to get this done in a rush at the end of the campaign. But that's his first argument.
And his second really is that, even if these things occurred it was all Cohen's fault and not his fault. So, those are fact questions. The reality is, we have all been told that the Department of Justice has a policy of not prosecuting a sitting president.
So, the question becomes, does the department and its prosecutors wait until the end of Trump's term and then bring these charges? And of course, a corollary question of does Congress look at this and say, "Well, the law was violated whether or not there is a criminal prosecution it at this stage"?
But it's -- at some stage, going to boil down to a question of who's telling the truth here. I'm reminded of the great Watergate line, which is what did the president know and when did he know it.
POTTER: We now are aware that the president knew a great deal about this much earlier than he said, that he was in the middle of it. So, we'll have to see whether any more information develops as a result of what we've already seen in court now.
AMANPOUR: So, Jeffrey, any more information? What do you expect to come out more and what do you think as Trevor just mention, yes, it's problematic depending on, you know, where the truth is, he suggested that, you know, the Congress has a choice as to whether to, you know, prosecute, you know, the difference between political and what the Justice Department thinks? What do you think Congress will do, particularly in the House where they now will be taking over the chairmanship of all of these committees?
JEFFREY TOOBIN, CNN, CHIEF LEGAL ANALYST: Well, I think -- you know, Trevor made a very important point, which is that under Department of Justice policy the president can't be prosecuted while he's in office. So, the issue is not going to be criminal prosecution of President Trump, it's going to be impeachment. Will Congress take some action against the president while he is in office?
And I think the answer currently is not yet. There is not enough evidence yet for it to persuade the Democrats that it is worth proceeding here because, you know, as your viewers may know, our system for removal of presidents is you have to get a majority in the House of Representatives and then two-thirds, 67 votes in the Senate. There is no way there are 67 votes in the Senate.
And as there was Republicans discovered when they had an unsuccessful effort to remove President Clinton from office in 1998, the public doesn't like impeachment efforts that go nowhere. You either have to kill the king or don't attack him.
And the Democrat I've spoken to, Nancy Pelosi, who will presumably be the new speaker, Jerrold Nadler who will be the new chairman of the Judiciary Committee, they say, "We are not proceeding with impeachment unless we can really have a strong belief that the Senate is going to really -- going to remove him from office and we are nowhere near that at that -- at this point."
So, I think there will be investigations from the House of Representatives but removal from office is really not on the agenda based on the evidence we know now.
AMANPOUR: So, you mentioned Jerrold Nadler, we do have a soundbite regarding, you know, what you just said. Let's just play and he's fleshing out some details on this issue.
JERROLD NADLER, INCOMING CHAIRMAN OF HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE: You don't necessarily launch an impeachment against the president because he committed an impeachable offense. There are several things you have to look at. One, were there impeachable offenses committed? How many? Et cetera. And secondly, how important were they? Do they rise to the gravity where you should undertake an impeachment? An impeachment is an attempt to, in effect, overturn or change the results of the last election. You should do it only for a very serious situations. So, that's always the question.
AMANPOUR: Can I just turn to Trevor for the moment because, I mean, that's what -- that's sort of him saying what he believes will be the perspective of the new committee that he's on.
But, Trevor, Rudy Giuliani, who's the president's personal lawyer, he's comparing these allegations are, you know, against the case of John Edwards who ran for president for the Democrats. He allegedly simply paid hush money to keep -- cover up an affair but he was never convicted of that case. And Giuliani says, "Well, that goes to prove that no crime was committed, no violation of campaign finance laws occurred." Do you agree?
POTTER: I think there are enormous differences between the two cases. There's obviously an attempt here to say, "Oh, well, it's all just election law. It's very complicated." Rand Paul said, "Well, the FEC. is said there's no problem with paying hush money," that's not accurate.
What happened with Edwards happened more than a year before the election. The primaries hadn't even started yet. There were no signed agreements for hush money. The woman involved was not threatening to go public. He had had an affair with her, they had had a child and the money was being sought to raise the child, how was the woman literally put food on the table. She had been a campaign photographer and had no other resources.
So, I think the situations are very different than here happening the month before the election with agreements that explicitly say, "We'll give you this money and you won't talk to the press," at a time when all the evidence indicates they were threatening to talk to the press and in saying, "If you don't get us the money within the next X days, we're going ahead and revealing this all publicly at the worst possible time for the campaign."
So, I think the situations are quite different, the evidence here plus there are tapes here which they weren't there, there appeared to be other witnesses here and the person of the officials of the "National Enquirer" newspaper who have been interviewed by the prosecutors. So, there's much more here.
I think you're still left with the reality though that if the prosecutors are right, if Cohen is right. if the other evidence is there and the president violated the law, he did so before he became president. So, he may be vulnerable to criminal charges but that is different than the question of whether it rises to an impeachable offense.
The prosecutors argue that one of the things this evidence tells us is the election itself was fraud because the American public was hoodwinked. It was denied information that arguably would have been really important for them to know right after we'd had all the other scandals with the Hollywood tapes and so forth if the president had these two affairs with women and had paid them hush money.
So, the prosecutors say that this went to the heart of our system because it was hiding information from voters that was relevant to them in making a decision. Again, and that is different than Congress deciding that President Trump acts constitute high crimes and misdemeanors. And I think a fair question is, does that include things that he did before he became president? Then you have to weigh against that, the fact that these involve the campaign, which made him president.
AMANPOUR: OK. Jeffrey, your reaction.?
TOOBIN: Well, I think that's -- Trevor is exactly right. I mean, the reason this is such a big deal is that on the eve of the election, when two women were about to come forward to allege extramarital affairs with Donald Trump, something that would have been a huge bombshell affecting the outcome of the election almost without doubt, this money was paid to shut them up. That certainly is a campaign expense by any rational determination.
So, the guilt of the vial -- the guilt seems fairly straightforward. What's very complicated is whether it's an impeachable offense, because that is a much more a political question than a legal question. And as Jerrold Nadler said, you know, you don't -- just because there's a technical violation of the law you don't impeach someone because that's such a major step. We've never removed a president in all of American history. Bill Clinton was impeached, Andrew Johnson was impeached, Richard Nixon was forced to resign but we have never impeached and removed a president.
So, it's obviously a very big deal. And I think the Democrats are waiting to hear everything from Robert Mueller before they make a real decision. All of these interim disclosures, you know, fit -- fill in the political situation but no Democrat is going to do anything until we hear everything that Robert Mueller, the special counsel.
AMANPOUR: So let's just ask you follow up on that, Jeffrey. Robert Mueller did over the weekend, you know, on the Friday and last week all his recommendations about Manafort and Flynn and Cohen and jail time and deals and all the rest of it. What do you - where is that in this sort of - the road forward right now? How significant is all of that as we stand right now?
TOOBIN: Well, it is significant because a lot of the developments we're talking about, the facts we're learning come out of these court filings, but what we have not seen is Robert Mueller's comprehensive picture of what really went on here. What was the nature of the relationship between the Trump campaign and Russian interest? Was there a conspiracy to affect the outcome of the election? You know, how should we view the firing of FBI Director, James Comey? Was that an act of obstruction of justice by the President of the United States?
TOOBIN: - about whether to proceed on impeachment.
AMANPOUR: OK. So, you know, we learned today that the accused Russian spy, Maria Butina, appears to have reached a plea deal with prosecutors, so that, of course, is, you know, she's accused of infiltrating Republican circles to advance Russian interest. So Trevor - Trevor Potter, what all of us wants to know which is more significant or serious? Is it the Russian? Is the campaign finance violations, the allegations thereof? But I want to ask you what you make of sort of a broader indictment of the president and his methods by people who actually work for him and who he appointed as cabinet secretaries?
For instance, this is Secretary of State Tillerson - former Secretary of State speaking at this weekend saying, "so often the president would say here's what I want to do and here's how I want to do it. And I would have to say to him, Mr. President, I understand what you want to do, but you can't do it that way. It violates the law."
POTTER: Well, we have a person here who we know from his entire business career was used to getting what he wanted and did not, surrounded himself by people like Cohen who tried to make that possible. I don't think he's used to being told that he can't do something because it's illegal, and that's what Tillerson was saying. You look at these payments to these women, and it's pretty clear in Cohen's account that Trump said, "do this. Make it happen." And we don't know whether he was flat out told it was illegal and said I don't care, but what we do know is that these laws were broken, Cohen says at his direction.
So I think through all of this, what we learn is that - probably what we knew on election day, which is we have a president who does what he wants, and even his supporters are now saying, "well, he may not understand how government works and he may not be accomplishing everything, but at least he's connecting with a segment of the American people," which is a way of ignoring the information that has come out since the election, and it's not just these illegal payments of hush money with corporate money and so forth. The Russian side itself, it came out quite a while ago.
There - contrary to everything that the White House and president had said, there was a meeting with senior campaign officials and Russians that the emails to that said we have dirt on Hillary Clinton that will help your campaign, and the president's son said, "great, bring it on." So we've known this. We've known that there were meetings that occurred, and I think the president's reaction was to say, anyone would have taken that meeting. I think that's not true. The candidates that I've been associated with, someone like John McCain would have said, "Call the FBI. This is wrong."
POTTER: So there is a division. Maybe it's a partisan division. Maybe it's just some people don't want to face what we already know or have made the decision that, painful as it is, there's nothing we can do about it at this stage.
AMANPOUR: So let me ask you the final question, Jeffrey, you know, Robert Mueller's successor, James Comey, the former FBI Director, has said that Americans should, quote, "Use every breath we have to make sure the lies stop on January 20, 2021," which is the next presidential inauguration day. I mean on the spectrum of extraordinary comments by former officials, where do you place that one?
TOOBIN: Well, James Comey, since he's been fired by Donald Trump has come out as a unspoken -- as an outspoken opponent of the president and someone who believes the president is a threat to the rule of law.
Comey, himself, is in a peculiar situation because Hillary Clinton supporters can't stand the guy either, because on the eve of the election he disclosed an investigation of Hillary Clinton that may have cost her the election.
So, he is an unusual figure in American life, but we are certainly at a moment where the number of people who believe the president is involved -- was involved in very serious, actually criminal wrongdoing is very high.
It is not high enough to get him removed from at office at this point, but we are very much mid-scandal, not at the end of the scandal and I, for one, certainly have no idea how it's going turn out.
AMANPOUR: Yes, and everybody is guessing. We have had a bipartisan discussion, Jeffrey Toobin and Trevor Potter, thank you so much for joining us this evening.


Alpro is launching a special WWF edition of the 1 liter pack of Alpro Soya Original and Unsweetened drink in support of WWF's forest work. For every liter sold, Alpro will donate 0,10 EUR to WWF, to help fight deforestation in some of the world's most vulnerable habitats. Based on last year's success in Belgium and Luxembourg, the fundraising campaign to support WWF's forest work has this year also been expanded to the UK, Sweden and Finland.
Deforestation continues to occur globally at an alarming rate, which is why Alpro joined forces with WWF to help combat the threat that deforestation poses to the planet. Proceeds from sale of the special WWF edition Soya drinks in Belgium will go to the ECOmakala project in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Those in the UK, Sweden and Finland will go to the East Africa Regional Forest program, benefiting multiple unique forest environments across Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Madagascar.
In addition to this campaign, Alpro and WWF also have a long-term partnership that dates back to 2009. The partnership aims to address the challenges posed by the transition to a healthier, more sustainable system of food production. One of the many collaborative projects, for example, is Alpro and WWF's work to communicate the benefits of a healthy, plant-based diet. Additionally, Alpro was one of the first companies in the world to set a science-based goal for production-related CO2 emissions. This goal will bring Alpro in line with the global action plan to keep global warming below 2°C.
Alpro's partnership with WWF complements the natural sustainability of its products, which are resource efficient and have a low environmental impact.

Comey Says He Has Not Read Recent Report About Steele Dossier Source, But Will Testify About It Next Week
REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst/Files
Chuck Ross Investigative Reporter
September 26, 2020 2:40 PM ET
Former FBI Director James Comey said Friday that he has not read explosive new reports showing that the primary source for dossier author Christopher Steele was the target of an FBI counterintelligence investigation.
Comey said during an interview on CNN that he plans to read the documents and will answer questions about it when he testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 30.
"I haven't read what they put out. I'll read it before I testify next week, and I'll answer whatever questions that they have," Comey said.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham released an FBI memo on Thursday that showed the bureau investigated Steele's source, Igor Danchenko, between 2009 and 2011.
The bureau began the process of pursuing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against Danchenko in 2010 but tabled the effort after he left the country.
Graham called the revelations "stunning," noting that the FBI relied heavily on information from Steele's dossier to obtain warrants to surveil former Trump aide Carter Page. (RELATED: Steele Source Had Meeting In Russia At Crucial Point In Dossier Saga)
The FBI's Crossfire Hurricane team learned the identity of Steele's source in December 2016 and also found bureau case files showing the earlier investigation of Danchenko. Graham said that the FBI did not inform the FISA Court of the information about Danchenko.
Graham has said he wants to find out Comey and other top officials when they learned about Danchenko and the dossier, and why the information was not disclosed in FISA applications against Page.
Comey downplayed Republican theories about the dossier, saying that the Crossfire Hurricane probe "was begun based on information having nothing to do with Steele dossier."
"Setting aside the merits of the Steele dossier, which are important to debate, this was begun based on credible information unconnected to that material, and we should have been fired if we didn't investigate," Comey said.
An FBI special agent and a supervisory intelligence analyst interviewed Danchenko, a Russian analyst who previously worked for the Brookings Institution, over the course of three days in January 2017.
Danchenko had worked for Steele for several years before the former British spy asked him to collect information on the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia.
During the interview, Danchenko undercut several aspects of the dossier and said Steele overstated several claims in the document.
The dossier's most explosive claims have been either debunked or remain uncorroborated. The special counsel's report and a Justice Department inspector general's report said that the dossier's claim that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen visited Prague in August 2016 to meet Kremlin insiders was inaccurate.
Danchenko told the FBI that his source for the Cohen allegation also fed him information about Page that the FBI used in its FISA applications.
The FBI memo about the prior investigation of Danchenko said that he had contact with two known Russian intelligence officers in 2005 and 2006. According to the memo, the FBI opened its investigation after receiving a tip from one of Danchenko's colleagues that he had suggested that employees of a think tank who were poised to join the Obama administration could use their security clearances "to make some money."

CHICAGO – After a strong year of launching dozens of successful micromobility share programs across the country, VeoRide is announcing the expansion of its portfolio of bikes to include the best e-scooter made for commercial/shared use and provide more options for a variety of customers. VeoRide's scooter is 100 percent designed and engineered by the company for superior durability and safety – with a key differentiator, the swappable battery.
All scooter operators today must take e-scooters off-site for charging, but VeoRide-employed technicians can simply swap the battery pack on site, enabling its scooters to be available 24/7 and eliminating fire risks by unsupervised "crowd charging" in personal apartments and dorms. VeoRide's dedicated Research & Development team has designed the scooters from the ground up for commercial/shared use, rather than sourcing the same Ninebot or Segway scooters that Lime, Bird and others use.
The company's proprietary manufacturing ensures VeoRide controls the whole process from hardware engineering and final assembly to vehicle testing and quality assurance – an approach that results in a scooter that lasts four to eight times longer than other scooters used today, It also gives VeoRide 100 percent control of product integrity plus the ability to customize and brand the scooter to meet the needs of the cities and universities it serves. VeoRide is the only micromobility company offering this level of customization to foster school pride and community spirit.
Each VeoRide scooter features 10-inch wheels with a proprietary, shock-absorbent tire and comes equipped with a built-in sensor to detect road conditions and automatically engage the motor and braking system to slow the vehicle and protect the rider. The swappable battery located in the deck of the scooter creates a lower center of gravity, the motor positioned at the rear provides greater stability and keeps the vehicle from lurching forward, while the mountain-bike type suspension ensures a smooth ride. The speedometer lets riders know how fast they are traveling, and VeoRide can program and adjust scooter speed to meet a community's standards.
