The Waterkeeper Alliance has declared war on America's farms, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is in charge of the battle plan. Officially, the Alliance is a coalition of more than 160 watch programs for America's rivers, bays, and shorelines, but this is thin political cover for trial lawyers who see big-money payouts from ruining families who have farmed for generations. The Alliance also notably serves as a platform for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to maintain his public profile. He has used the Alliance to spread baseless conspiracy theories about children getting autism from vaccines, to obtain taxpayer-guaranteed loans for a troubled solar energy company his investment fund is involved with, and to oppose wind energy projects too close for comfort to his lavish Kennedy-family compound.
Kennedy's involvement with the group dates back to the mid-1980s, when he was a prosecutor in the Manhattan district attorney's office. According to Kennedy's own accounts, he was also a secret heroin addict, disguising himself and visiting Harlem to buy illegal drugs by night. That double life caught up with him in 1984 when he was arrested and charged with heroin possession. As part of a plea agreement, Kennedy was sentenced to 800 hours of community service, which he filled by volunteering at the Hudson River Foundation. This group was later absorbed by the Hudson Riverkeepers, the Waterkeeper Alliance's flagship constituent group. Today, the Kennedy environmental empire consists of the Alliance, the Hudson Riverkeepers, and the Pace University Environmental Litigation Clinic.
This larger enviro-conglomerate has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Robert Kennedy, Jr. since June 2000; at that time, he began trading on his family name in order to assemble a dream team of attorneys interested in applying the legal model made famous by tobacco lawyers to pork and chicken farmers. Today, the Alliance operates its litigation with assistance from publicly-funded law clinics, drawing criticism from members of both political parties.
About half of the law firms that have contributed attorney-muscle to Kennedy's crusade have experience suing tobacco companies (the ultimate legal cash cow). In addition to these lawyers' deep pockets, the Waterkeeper Alliance stays afloat through foundation support, individual wealthy donors, celebrity ski events in Colorado and the Canadian Rockies, and a for-profit company called Tear of the Clouds LLC, which sells Keeper Springs bottled water. A combination of slick marketing and Kennedy cachet has placed this product in supermarkets throughout the Northeast U.S. Every penny of profit goes to support the Waterkeepers and their litigious campaigning.
The central front in the Alliance's push against modern agricultural practices that make affordable food possible is its "Pure Farms, Pure Waters" campaign, which the Alliance says "combines hard-nosed litigation with education and outreach on sustainable agriculture." In practice, farmers see more "litigation" than "outreach," exemplified by the Waterkeepers' liberal use of the epithet "factory farm" in reference to the thousands of family farms engaged in contemporary animal agriculture. In truth, the "Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations" (CAFOs) that Kennedy Jr. decries as "a reproduction of the European feudalism" are systems that produce more food on less land for less money that can fit into a sustainable farming method.
In 2007, Kennedy Jr.'s eye turned to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, a region with a large chicken farming community. In spite of ongoing efforts by Maryland authorities to improve environmental standards in the Chesapeake region, Kennedy began a campaign to gain access to farmers' nutrient management plans (NMPs), suing the state to release not only the plans but also information identifying which farmers submitted which plans. Local farmers objected to releasing farmers' names, justly worried that Kennedy's legal machine might be looking for a list of ripe targets. Maryland's judges have tried to balance competing interests by releasing the NMPs without identifying farmers by name. This has not satisfied the Alliance, which still hopes to sue Maryland's chicken farmers into financial ruin.
To launch their Maryland campaign, the Waterkeepers held an Eastern Shore Poultry Summit, at which Maryland Attorney General Douglas Gansler (who had appointed a Waterkeeper regional director as a special assistant for environmental issues) spoke arguing that "we need to ramp up enforcement" of regulations, including by citizen lawsuit (music to the ears of the assembled Waterkeeper supporters). Kennedy Jr. took the opportunity to decry the effects of Maryland poultry farming as a "milestone of tyranny" and call local officials "corrupt." According to a report by a Maryland local newspaper, poultry farmers who attended in hopes of seeing "outreach" responded to Kennedy's barrage of baseless insults by walking out while Waterkeeper supporters gave a standing ovation.
The setback in gaining access to the names of Maryland farmers hasn't stopped Kennedy's machine from trying to churn Maryland's family farms through a meat grinder of lawsuits. The international Waterkeeper Alliance and a regional affiliate (whom a court later dismissed for lack of standing) sued the Hudsons, a fourth-generation farm family raising chickens on the Eastern Shore. With assistance from the publicly-funded University of Maryland Environmental Law Clinic, the Waterkeepers alleged – based on aerial photography – that the Hudsons were allowing runoff from untreated chicken refuse to enter the bay.
Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) inspectors came to a different conclusion. The MDE found the alleged pile of chicken manure actually consisted of sewage-treated Class A biosolids obtained legally from Ocean City, Maryland, to use as crop fertilizer. The inspectors ordered the Hudsons to relocate the biosolids to a different part of their land, and the Hudsons complied. A subsequent MDE inspection in late January 2010 found that "no animal manure piles were observed outside."
This did not stop the Waterkeepers. The Alliance filed suit in early March 2010 and did not withdraw the complaint after MDE made its final ruling that the Hudsons had corrected their improper fertilizer storage. What was the Hudsons' real sin in the eyes of the Waterkeepers? To secure a stable source of income, the Hudsons contracted with Perdue Farms, a large poultry company based in Maryland. To Kennedy and his acolytes, this made the Hudson family farm a "factory farm." In addition, the contract linked the rectified error and allegations to deeper pockets. It should, therefore, be no surprise that Perdue is named as a co-defendant with the Hudson family.
And while the Hudsons bear their own legal costs, Maryland taxpayers are helping to pay the bills for Kennedy and his cabal. This injustice even drew the ire of Democratic Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, usually a reliable supporter of environmentalist causes. In a letter to the University of Maryland Law Clinic, Gov. O'Malley said the clinic's involvement on behalf of the Waterkeepers was a "misuse of state resources" that used "the economic weapon of unlimited litigation resources, namely, taxpayer supported state resources — to potentially bankrupt and destroy a family farming operation which has no recourse to similarly unlimited litigation assets." The case goes to trial March 5, 2012, more than two years after the Hudson family's ordeal began.
The Waterkeeper legal machine first rose to prominence in the early 2000s by alleging preposterously high damages from hog processors. They sued a major pork processor with the Sierra Club, the Animal Welfare Institute, and the rabidly anti-consumer National Farmers Union as co-plaintiffs demanding triple damages under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Waterkeeper spokespeople claimed their targets could be stuck with at least $10 billion in damages.
The effort didn't find much sympathy in court. The first major setback came in March 2001 when the initial round of lawsuits was thrown out by a North Carolina judge ruling that the plaintiffs had "failed to state a single claim" warranting a trial, much less a financial award. Kennedy and his cohorts went back to the drawing board and resubmitted their lawsuit, only to have it rejected by a U.S. District Judge for (once again) failing to support their RICO claims. Undeterred, they amended their case a second time, still insisting that RICO applied. This time, Chief U.S. District Judge Elizabeth Kovachevich let Kennedy and company know her patience was running thin: "After detailing the reasons why Plaintiffs did not have a claim under RICO … Plaintiffs again brought a RICO claim, against this court's advice." Judge Kovachevich also wrote that Kennedy's lawsuit "failed to state anything at all, except conclusory allegations that have no support."
Does the Waterkeeper Alliance want to rid America's tables of chicken, turkey, beef, mutton, lamb, bacon, sausage, milk, eggs, yogurt and every other animal-based food? Not quite: when Kennedy talks about going after the industry, he's referring to large-scale (read: deep-pocketed) operations and the family farmers that rely on them for income security. Through contracted production, these companies employ tens of thousands of Americans and offer family farmers security often lacking in an industry where too much rain and too little rain (to say nothing of nuisance lawsuits) are real occupational hazards. These companies (and their contractors) already have to obey countless state and federal regulations, including a whole regimen from the Environmental Protection Agency.
Kennedy seemingly plans to continue suing until he finds a judge who will see things his way; at that point, he hopes existing meat producers won't be able to absorb multimillion-dollar judgments against them. This would open the market up for sustainable meat producers, whose products are marketed as organic, free-range, or environmentally friendly. Why aren't these products particularly successful on their own? They cost more – nearly twice as much per pound as conventionally produced pork, in some markets. Of course, it's not like Kennedy or his millionaire funders and supporters will notice much of a financial hit — it will be middle-class Americans who face a shift from meat to potatoes.
The Waterkeeper Alliance gets a lot of public recognition because of its president, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Kennedy uses his connection to the Kennedy mystique to command the Hollywood glitterati and media on behalf of Waterkeeper. Unfortunately, RFK, Jr. has a proclivity for making conspiratorial public statements, engaging in alleged crony capitalism while denouncing corporate greed, and pushing green energy projects.
Kennedy authored a provocative and error-ridden article published in Salon and Rolling Stone in 2005 which alleged widespread collusion between Federal regulators and the pharmaceutical industry to cover up harmful effects of the mercury-based vaccine preservative thimerosal. The allegations that thimerosal caused autism were widely debunked, and Salon finally retracted the article in January 2011. Salon stated that the removal was prompted after criticism over time "eroded any faith we had in the story's value. We've grown to believe the best reader service is to delete the piece entirely." Kennedy, however, still has the article available at his website (as of December 2011) and still occasionally writes articles alleging the cover-up and link to autism (the most recent was published in 2010).
Mainstream scientific authorities strongly reject this claim, and in 2010, The Lancet retracted one of the most prominent studies claiming that vaccines caused autism. The principal author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, lost his medical license for "serious professional misconduct" during the course of the study that culminated in the paper. The panel ruled that the actions Wakefield took including failing to disclose relevant financial interests during the period the research was conducted "not only amounted to serious professional misconduct … but also … constitutes multiple separate instances of serious professional misconduct."
Kennedy's green investment company has also allegedly used connections in government for private gain. In his book, Peter Schweizer of the Hoover Institution used government data to show that Brightsource Energy (a solar energy firm in which Kennedy's investment firm has a significant stake) may have used the placement of a former employee of Kennedy's investment group in the Department of Energy's (DOE) loan guarantee program to secure the cash-strapped firm a $1.5 billion loan guaranteed by taxpayer money. According to Brightsource's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, the company made a net loss of $71 million in 2010 on $13 million of total revenue and had outstanding total contractual obligations (i.e. liabilities) of $1.7 billion at the end of 2010.
Kennedy responded to the allegations by tarring Schweizer as a "Big Carbon sock puppet." Schweizer responded by noting that Kennedy did not dispute the crucial facts, including the placement of the former investment firm principal at DOE and Brightsource's risky financial situation, that made the deal a clear-cut case of what Schweizer calls "socialism for the super-rich."
Kennedy, Jr. and the Waterkeeper Alliance may be intent on replacing fossil fuels with so-called renewable energy, but that hasn't stopped Kennedy and the Alliance's biggest source of financial muscle from trying to keep renewable energy out of their backyards. Kennedy strongly opposes the proposed "Cape Wind" wind turbine project, which happens to be very close to the sightline from the Kennedy family compound. Similarly, The Denver Post reported that hedge fund manager Louis Moore Bacon, whom Kennedy, Jr. called Waterkeeper's "single largest supporter," has attempted to block the proposed route of transmission lines from a solar energy plant in Colorado because they would cross a small portion of his 171,000-acre property. Kennedy and Moore Bacon couch their opposition in terms of preserving unspoiled lands and vistas, but it seems unlikely they would be that charitable to opposition to similar projects sited further from their cherished estates.
It's abundantly clear that money makes the world go 'round for this group of Kennedy-led ambulance chasers. The world of class-action torts and nuisance lawsuits is based on the simple premise that attorneys get paid on contingency – that is, they pocket a percentage of whatever a judge or jury awards their clients.
The goal of a Waterkeeper Alliance action is to win a so-called citizen lawsuit against a non-organic farmer (or drive him to the settlement table, whichever pays off). These citizen lawsuits are promoted as actions on behalf of the public, but some scholars say they only pay off for well-organized special interest groups like Waterkeeper. They are so lucrative for green activists that Michael Greve of the Competitive Enterprise Institute has said, "Citizen suits constitute a system of direct transfer payments to environmental interest groups."
The legal dream team Kennedy, Jr. signed up for his early campaigns (who committed $50,000 per firm to participate in the multi-billion dollar RICO complaints that were later dismissed) has loads of experience with this model. Among the products whose manufacturers they've sued: tobacco, diet drugs, asbestos, genetically improved crops, and diabetes medications.
The Waterkeeper Alliance will insist until pigs (or chickens) fly that their raisons d'etre are clean water and the environment, but consider this: every state, without exception, already has regulations in force mandating environmental standards for all farmers. If Kennedy really believed that America's environmental laws weren't being enforced, or weren't strict enough in the first place, he would be concentrating his efforts on lobbying legislatures and persuading regulators at the state and federal level to adopt tougher standards. It's not as if Waterkeeper doesn't have the star power to move public opinion and get the attention of politicians; the organization frequently hosts events attended by Hollywood's glitterati. The problem with these approaches is that there's no money in them. Lobbying the government sometimes gets results, but it seldom makes anyone rich.
When Kennedy and the Waterkeeper Alliance aren't retaining high-dollar veterans of tobacco wars to sue farmers, they're using taxpayer-financed institutions to do their dirty work. The Waterkeeper Alliance has taken advantage of the services of the University of Maryland Environmental Law Clinic to wage economic warfare against a family farm, to widespread criticism. Members of both political parties have openly objected to using taxpayer money to drive taxpayers into the ground. Since Waterkeeper doesn't have the specter of RICO to hang over the Hudsons (or even Perdue Farms), the incentive presumably isn't there for the high-powered tort warriors they've partnered with in the past to buy in by fronting costs for the legal action. Instead, they've dodged those costs by passing them off to taxpayers through the law clinic.

We're starting with hogs. After we get done with the hogs, then we're gonna go after the other ones.
Why don't we put them out of business?
We have attorneys now who have money and they know what they're doing. They are the best in the country and we are going to put an end to this industry.
We will march across this country and we will bring these kind of lawsuits against every single pork factory in America if we have to…. Whatever it takes to win.
John J. Kennedy
You don't hire a child molester to run a nursery school. It's a conflict of interest.
He [RFK Jr.] is very reckless. He's assumed an arrogance above his intellectual stature.
Pork farmers are … a greater threat than Al Qaeda or Osama Bin Laden.

More Financial Information


I've just finished writing a nice wrapper which internally calls the SSRS ReportExecutionService to generate reports.
Whilst it was fairly simple to implement there has been some major changes between 2005 and 2008 and the majority of online and documentation is based on the 2005 implementation.
The most important change is that the Report Server and Report Manager are no longer hosted in IIS which will be a welcomed change to Sys Admins but makes the security model and hosting model vastly different. So far I've yet to figure out how to allow Anonymous Access, if anyone knows how to do this leave a comment and it will be most appreciated.
To get started you'll want to add a service reference to http://localhost/ReportServer_SQL2008/ReportExecution2005.asmx where ReportServer_SQL2008 is the name you configure in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
The Web Application files are located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.SQL2008\Reporting Services, you'll want to to create a dedicated User and grant it permissions to these application folders.
Once you've done that you'll need to browse to the Report Manager logging in as an Administrator account and then add a Role for your new user under the Security page http://localhost/Reports_SQL2008/Pages/Settings.aspx?SelectedSubTabId=SecurityLinkID and also under the Properties tab in Home http://localhost/Reports_SQL2008/Pages/Folder.aspx?SelectedTabId=PropertiesTab.
This post is mainly about solving some of the problems you may face, for detailed information on calling the API check out MSDN which has a wealth of information on the topic, here is the Overview and more specifically how to Render a Report.
However note that you may have to pass a TrustedUserHeader type whenever calling a Web Service method, it's ok for this value to be Null.
Once you've followed the guide and coded your solution appropriately you may come across this exception or one similar when trying to call a Web Service method.
The authentication header received from the server was 'Negotiate,NTLM'.
The key here is to set the Network Credential property before to a Windows user who has access to the Reports and has the correct Role Assignments in the Report Manager.
Also make sure that in the Web.Config in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.SQL2008\Reporting\Services\ReportServer has the following values set.
These are the bindings I use and work well. Make sure to set all the properties to the Maximum allowed values as Report Server returns some fairly large arrays.
I'm all about using the right tool for the job so for Reporting when you're using SQL Server 2008 as your data store you really can't go past SSRS which even comes free with SQL Server Express Edition.
Also included in SSRS 2008 is the Report Builder which is a Report Designer tool accessible from the Report Manager allowing users to design reports without having to install the Business Intelligence Studio.

Q: Unicode - Just print the string print proc1
"\u001b[H\u001b[2J\r\nPRINT ME"

How to print only "PRINT ME". I do not want to print other chunks.
The above is an output of a shell script when Python fabric gives a run call.
I return the fabric message to my Flask as
return json.dumps(proc1)

Update:
The response from flask is as below:
"Output": "\"\\u001b[H\\u001b[2J\\r\\nPROCESS1       : process not running\\r\\n \\r\\nPROCESS2       : process running\\r\\nT\""}

I'm looking at removing \u001b[H2J and other junks

A: The simplest way I can think of is to use str.split and its maxsplit parameter:
In [1]: output = "\"\\u001b[H\\u001b[2J\\r\\nPROCESS1       : process not running\\r\\n \\r\\nPROCESS2       : process running\\r\\nT\""

In [2]: output.split('\\r\\n', maxsplit=1)[-1]
Out[2]: 'PROCESS1       : process not running\\r\\n \\r\\nPROCESS2       : process running\\r\\nT"'

If you are using an old version of python(I believe python2 and python3.x, x <= 2) you may need to specify the maxsplit as a positional parameter:
In [3]: output.split('\\r\\n', 1)[-1]
Out[3]: 'PROCESS1       : process not running\\r\\n \\r\\nPROCESS2       : process running\\r\\nT"'

The junk at the beginning of the output seems like an escape sequence that clears the terminal(at least, doing:
print "\u001b[H\u001b[2J\r\nPRINT ME".decode('unicode-escape')

Has this effect in the Konsole.
Assuming the format will always be "UTUT\r\n with U being a unicode escape in the form \uxxxx with x hexadecimal digits, and T being a terminal escape made of [ plus digits and letters, the following should be able to strip off the first characters:
In [9]: regex = re.compile(r'"\\u(\d|[a-f])+\[(\w|\d)+\\u(\d|[a-f])+\[(\d|\w)+\\r\\n')

In [10]: regex.sub('', output)
Out[10]: 'PROCESS1       : process not running\\r\\n \\r\\nPROCESS2       : process running\\r\\nT"'

If you don't want the last " you can simply do:
regex.sub('', output)[:-1]

Which will simply trim the beginning of the string and remove the last character.
If for some reason the " may not be the last character you could use:
In [2]: regex = re.compile(r'"\\u(\d|[a-f])+\[(\w|\d)+\\u(\d|[a-f])+\[(\d|\w)+\\r\\n(?P<content>[^"]+)')

In [3]: output = "\"\\u001b[H\\u001b[2J\\r\\nPROCESS1       : process not running\\r\\n \\r\\nPROCESS2       : process running\\r\\nT\""

In [4]: regex.match(output).group('content')
Out[4]: 'PROCESS1       : process not running\\r\\n \\r\\nPROCESS2       : process running\\r\\nT'

Where I assume the string that you need does not contains ".

A: Python is representing the string proc1 as a byte string. Make sure it's represented as a unicode string, prefix the string with a u.
So,
proc1 = u"\u001b[H\u001b[2J\r\nPRINT ME"

Juneau World Affairs Council presents "The Coast Guard's Future in the Arctic"

VIDEO: Rear Admiral Chris Colvin, Commander of the 17th Coast Guard District, Speaks to the Juneau World Affairs Council about the Coast Guards Future in the Arctic. (Image: Rik Pruett)
Last Tuesday, the Juneau World Affairs Council hosted a presentation at Centennial Hall entitled "The Coast Guard's Future in the Arctic". Jim Clark, the group's program chair, explains why the topic was chosen.
"The Arctic we figured had merit of two things, number one; of great interest to Alaskans and it has incredible international repercussions with the opening of the Arctic. So we have run a series on the Arctic and two weeks ago we had Lt. Governor Mead Treadwell."
One of the Speakers at this event was Rear Admiral Chris Colvin, the Commander of the 17th Coast Guard District, and we asked him for the short version of what his presentation was about.
"You know ostensibly about the Coast Guard participation in the Arctic, and what we've done and for the last several years we've done quite a bit at least during the summer months operating in the Arctic, but a lot broader than just the Coast Guard participation, talked about the importance of signing the Law of the Sea Treaty, the importance of persistent presence in the Arctic. We've been watching the Chinese for example; operate in the Arctic above Alaska, now you have the 200 mile exclusive economic zone, and if we were signatories to the Law of the Sea Treaty, if the Senate ratified it, we could go ahead and extend out another oh probably all the way out to about 440 miles on the Chukchi Plateau and the Northwind Ridge. Prime Minister Harper of Canada said, with regard to Canadian Maritime Sovereignty, "Either use it or lose it". And I think that in the United States we ought to take that to heart also. It's not entirely implausible to see Chinese drilling in the Arctic someday in International waters above Alaska."

R.I. governor's office responds to lawmakers' criticism on spending
Katherine Gregg Journal Political Writer kathyprojo
Mar 29, 2019 at 12:38 PM Mar 29, 2019 at 12:38 PM
Gov. Gina Raimondo's director of administration pushed back against concerns raised by the chairmen of the House and Senate budget-writing committees that the governor is not doing enough to control expenditures.
PROVIDENCE — Gov. Gina Raimondo's director of administration pushed back against concerns raised by the chairmen of the House and Senate budget-writing committees that the governor is not doing enough to control spending.
In his response to an unusual and highly critical letter he received a month ago from House Finance Chairman Marvin Abney and Senate Finance Chairman William Conley, Administration Director Michael DiBiase wrote: "We acknowledge and understand your concerns regarding potential revenue shortfalls and ... we agree that the Administration should do everything feasible and practical to find efficiencies and cost savings in the operation of state government. ... If revenues continue to fall short of estimates, we will need to consider more stringent constraints on expenditures in areas where we have discretion."
But, "I respectfully would submit that there are also actions the General Assembly can take in conjunction with our ongoing efforts,'' DiBiase wrote, suggesting the lawmakers not wait until June, as is customary, to approve the scoops, revenue-raisers and other deficit-avoidance moves Raimondo has proposed to the current-year budget approved last June.
His argument: "The Governor's proposed budget revisions to FY 2019, submitted as separate legislation apart from the Governor's proposed FY 2020 budget, contain legislative changes to achieve increased revenues or reduced expenditures. The General Assembly has the opportunity to take up the Governor's FY 2019 revised budget proposal earlier in the session rather than wait until the end of the fiscal year, as had been the practice for the last several years.
"Passing amendments for the current fiscal year in late June does not leave much flexibility for the Executive Branch to change course,'' he wrote.
Abney and Conley released the following joint statement:
Below is a joint statement from Finance Committee Chairman William Conley and Marvin Abney:
"We are in receipt of the letter from Director DiBiase responding to our inquiry from February requesting additional information regarding hiring and purchasing practices. We will be reviewing the letter and awaiting the additional information the director noted will be forthcoming in response to our inquiry before providing a full analysis. We will continue to have these important discussions and to work with the administration to develop a responsible budget on behalf of Rhode Island taxpayers."
In their own letter to DiBiase on Feb. 27, Abney and Conley essentially asked: In addition to hitting people up for more taxes, what are you doing to control spending?
The letter to Democrat Raimondo from the two Democratic lawmakers stated, in part: "We are jointly addressing you to convey our concerns about the budget situation for the current year and for FY 2020. As you are well aware, the budget the Governor submitted attempted to address a current year budget deficit of approximately $50 million and an FY 2020 deficit of about $150 million.
"That picture could change for the worse if a number of budget assumptions do not come to fruition, notably revenue collections. Preliminary data suggest that, on that front, the news is not good,'' they wrote.
"Additionally, the heavy reliance on quasi-public transfers eliminates potential, last resort reserves of money to balance state needs in a crisis,″ they wrote in reference to Raimondo's attempt to scoop $16.4 million out of the reserves of a number of dedicated funds and satellite agencies, including Rhode Island Housing.
They wrote their letter weeks before the latest revenue report came out. According to the report, state revenue collections are running $33.4 million below expectations for this year.
Among the reasons in the Department of Revenue update: "Personal income tax revenues, which are down $43.2 million, or ‑4.9 percent, from revised expectations."
The explanation: "The under performance in personal income tax revenues is due in large part to estimated payments revenues which are $28.8 million below the estimate or ‑17.1 percent. This pattern is occurring across the country and is likely attributable in part to the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in December of 2017."
In light of Rhode Island's tightening budget squeeze, the finance chairmen asked DiBiase why the state had 150 more employees, at last count, than it did immediately after the Raimondo administration offered buyouts to long-term employees worth up to $40,000.
"We know that over 360 individuals received payouts under this program," they wrote, "which last year's testimony indicated was aimed at reducing high-cost positions in state government and staffing overall. The [data] suggest that the effort did not have the intended result.
"What is the decision process for filling vacant positions? How are positions assessed and prioritized for hiring? What, if any actions, has the Administration undertaken to slow/halt hiring?"
"Any current constraints on hiring and purchasing are not apparent, which is especially troubling given their potential to ease some of the pressure on the current year deficit,″ they wrote, putting the governor's team on notice that "we intend to exercise our oversight role and are actively seeking solutions that address our immediate deficit and provide longer term stability."
In his response letter, DiBiase assured the legislative chairmen that there is, in fact, "a formal process by which all requests to fill vacancies or create new positions must be approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). ... For many positions, there is little discretion in hiring since the vacancies must be filled to meet critical staffing needs in 24/7 or direct support roles.
"The number of filled FTEs [full-time equivalents] has only modestly increased over the last decade [a mere 3 percent if you compare average filled FTEs for FY 2019 and FY 2009]. The increase in 2019, specifically, is consistent with the budget the General Assembly enacted, which included an additional 200 funded positions for the current year.
"Similarly,'' DiBiase wrote, "many if not most contracted goods and services are critical to the operations of government and cannot be avoided or deferred. General revenue spending on discretionary contracts makes up only about 2.4 percent of the total general revenue budget ... [and] we have been able to successfully identify approximately $3 million in contract savings through those strategic sourcing initiatives."

Iconic African American writer, Maya Angelou (1928-2014), was in kinship care as a child.
Marguerite Ann Johnson was born in St Louis, Missouri. When her parent's marriage collapsed, three-year-old Maya – her brother's nickname for her – and her older brother, Bailey, were put on a train to Arkansas and their paternal grandmother, Annie Henderson.
The children returned to their parents four years later. While living with her mother, the seven-year-old girl was raped by her mother's partner. Freeman was convicted but was only jailed for one day. Shortly after his release from prison, Freeman was murdered.
Maya stopped speaking after the trauma, believing that it was talking about the rape that got Freeman killed.
The children were returned to their grandmother, this time until Maya was fourteen. While living with her grandmother, Maya was introduced by Mrs Bertha Flowers to literary greats such as Charles Dickes and Edgar Allan Poe as well as significant Black writers including Langston Hughes and WEB Du Bois; Mrs Flowers encouraged the child to speak again by talking about literature.
Before finishing high school education, Maya became the first Black female streetcar conductor in San Francisco.
After graduation, Angelou undertook a series of odd jobs to support herself and her son [Clyde Bailey Johnson]. In 1949, she married Tosh Angelos, an electrician in the US Navy. She adopted a form of his surname and kept it throughout her life, though the marriage ended in divorce in 1952 (Spring).
Angelou joined the Harlem Writers Guild in 1959 where she met James Baldwin and became active in the Civil Rights Movement, working for Martin Luther King and for Malcolm X.
She published the first of seven memoirs, Why the Caged Bird Sings, in 1969. The book is one of the most widely read memoirs of the second half of the 20th century and is credited with encouraging other abuse survivors to speak out.
Also an actor, director, and producer, Maya Angelou was the first African American woman to have a screenplay – Georgia, Georgia – adapted for film. She received a Tony nomination in 1973 for her role in Look Away, played Kunta Kinte's grandmother in Roots in 1977, and contributed to the adaptation for television of Why the Caged Bird Sings in 1979. Angelou returned to the screen during the 1990s, including appearing on both Sesame Street and in How to Make an American Quilt in 1995.
Angelou began teaching at Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1973 and became the university's first Reynolds Professor of American Studies in 1982. The university awarded Angelou an honorary doctorate in 1977 (Smith College and Mills College had both awarded Angelou honorary degrees in 1975) and the Wake Forest School of Medicine established The Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity in 2002.
Maya Angelou has written numerous books, including children's books, autobiographies, essays, and poetry.
Angelou's poetry often benefited from her performance of it, and during her lifetime Angelou recited her poems before spellbound crowds. Indeed, Angelou's poetry can also be traced to African-American oral traditions like slave and worksongs, especially in her use of personal narrative and emphasis on individual responses to hardship, oppression and loss (Poetry Foundation).
Maya Angelou has received numerous honorary doctorates and many awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded by Barack Obama in 2010, and in 2022 she was selected to feature on a coin, a quarter, as part of a series honouring notable American women. Maya Angelou will be the first Black woman to be displayed on US currency.

What happened to the old science of morality?
by | 21 Aug 2010 | Link
Just one month ago, the Edge Foundation sponsored a fascinating seminar on "the new science of morality". The big names of neuro-morality attended, including Jonathan Haidt, Sam Harris, Roy Baumeister, Paul Bloom, and Marc Hauser. Reporters from leading newspapers came as well and spread the word.
One of these luminaries, Marc Hauser, led a symposium on how thinking about morality as an evolved system of neurological rules could be used to make the world a better place, make governments work better, improve corporate governance, law, the internet, and so on.
Unfortunately, as we report below, Marc Hauser is now caught up in his own moral conundrum. His employer, Harvard University, has admitted that he was guilty of eight instances of academic misconduct. The nature of these offences is not altogether clear, but they seem to involve faking data for his work on animal cognition.
Speaking personally, I have always had reservations about neuro-morality. Reducing ethics to genetics and neurology eliminates free will and radically changes the nature of what it means to be human.
Academic misconduct is not exactly a hanging offence. However, if Hauser's new science is true, rational morality consists of following arbitrary social conventions. It is a bit unsettling to learn that a prophet of an ethical revolution has been ignoring the fairly basic conventions of academic research. It will be interesting to see how the new science of morality develops from here.

Arsenal have sounded out representatives of possible alternative to Gabriel Jesus transfer
Arsenal have reportedly sounded out the representatives of Everton forward Richarlison as they eye new signings in attack this summer.
According to Goal, there have also been discussions over Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus, but it seems the Gunners are also keen to be kept in the loop about Richarlison's situation.
The Brazil international has been a stand-out performer at Goodison Park for some time now, even if this was generally a disappointing season for Everton.
The Toffees ended up in a surprise relegation battle, but managed to stay up in the end, so it may be that that will be enough to convince Richarlison to stick with them a bit longer.
Richarlison to Arsenal?
Still, one imagines the 25-year-old will have a number of big clubs keeping tabs on him this summer, and he'd undoubtedly be a good fit at the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta's gamble to allow Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave in January backfired, and it surely now makes sense to bring in one or two signings up front this summer.
The likes of Jesus and Richarlison could be ideal, with both players proven in the Premier League and capable of playing a variety of roles in attack, either centrally or out wide.

Q: why my menu is not appearing on the admin panel i am new to wordpress so you can except a lot insane coding below. What i want is to give one option in the adminpanel of wordpress to my client under the Pages->MergeImage. when the client will click on MergeImage option appearing under the Pages Widget i want to display him my custom form . To achieve all the above i followed the codex and ended up creating a plugin. below is the code for my plugin.
add_action('admin_menu', 'my_plugin_menu');

function my_plugin_menu() {
    add_options_page('My Plugin Options', 'My Plugin', 'manage_options', 'my-unique-identifier', 'my_plugin_options');
}

function my_plugin_options() {
    if (!current_user_can('manage_options'))  {
        wp_die( __('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.') );
    }
    echo '
';
    echo '
Here is where the form would go if I actually had options.
';
    echo '
';
}

There is nothing else in this single index.php file inside the ImageMerger folder.
When i activate the plugin i receive no errors but also dont see any menu. The below code is copy paste from the codex. So there shouldn't be any thing wrong with the code i think it must be some thing to add more into it which i am missing and i didn't find any good tutorial on wordpress to achieve this task. Please tell me what else is required ?

A: add_options_page() places the menu item under the Settings menu. I believe you'll find your plugin menu there if you look.
If you want it under the Pages menu, you have to use add_submenu_page():
add_submenu_page('edit.php?post_type=page', 'My Plugin Options', 'My Plugin', 'manage_options', 'my-unique-identifier', 'my_plugin_options');

Note there is an extra argument at the beginning to pass the parent menu slug.

A: You are using add_options_page() so this means that you are adding a page menu item under settings section of your WP admin menu. By the sounds of it you dont want to add your page there but you really want it to appear as a sub page of the pages menu. Am I correct in this assumption?
If that's the case you need to look at using add_submenu_page('edit.php?post_type=page',...) instead. See codex article add_submenu_page()
Also where are you placing the above code? In a plugin file or inside your themes functions.php file?

Man Utd will need to change stance on Martial if he is to leave this month
Dortmund admit they may end up being powerless in their hope of keeping Haaland
Borussia Dortmund have said they are keen to keep hold of Erling Haaland beyond this summer, but have conceded that they may end up being powerless to stop him from leaving,
The Norwegian has emerged as the hottest property in world football following a stellar spell since moving to Dortmund last January, netting 49 goals in just 50 appearances for the Bundesliga club.
With such a prolific striker on their hands, Dortmund are understandably keen to keep Haaland, though the presence of a €75 million release clause that becomes active in 2022 has opened up the possibility of cashing in for a higher price this summer.
Some reports have suggested that Dortmund's asking price will be €150 million (£128m), though that seemingly hasn't put off his potential suitors, with agent Mino Raiola having travelled to Spain to discuss his client's future with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid, with a trip to England also said to be planned.
Aside from the Spanish giants, Liverpool, Chelsea, and both Manchester clubs are believed to be interested – although Pep Guardiola has claimed his side can't afford to sign the striker.
According to Goal, Dortmund's head of first-team football, Sebastian Kehl, has admitted that the club are still hoping to keep Haaland at the club following talks with Raiola and Haaland's father, Alf-Inge.
"Our position is clear: we are planning with Erling," Kehl said. "We are very relaxed about that.
"Of course, we have been following the situation. But we had a very, very good talk with Mino and his father just recently."
Asked if Haaland has asked to leave the club, Kehl refused to comment but did admit that the club will eventually become powerless in their attempts to keep him: "I don't want to go into those talks now. From a certain point on, we may no longer be able to influence what the future will bring."
Haaland is due to travel to England this week when Dortmund take on Man City in the Champions League, the German outfit going into the game with just one win in their last five in all competitions.
Their 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday has left them in fifth in the Bundesliga table, seven points adrift of the top four and with an uphill battle to achieve qualification to Europe's elite competition, a scenario which would likely only further push Haaland toward the exit door.

Students at Fitzhugh Park Elementary School were visited by three civic VIPs last week at the school's "All Hands on Deck" awards luncheon, a monthly schoolwide recognition and community event that celebrates students making responsible choices.
Students from all grades had an opportunity to share their holiday plans and requests to Santa Claus with Oswego Mayor Billy Barlow, Police Chief Tory DeCaire and Fire Department Chief Randy Griffin during the lunch event on Dec. 14.
The "All Hands on Deck" luncheon is coordinated monthly by Fitzhugh First Grade Teacher Tim Barbeau, who said the program was part of the school's positive reinforcement strategy.
If a class makes good choices in special classes such as art, library, music or physical education, they receive an "All Hands on Deck" certificate as recognition for a job well done, Barbeau said. At the end of the month, he totals the certificates from across the school and the winners are rewarded with a special lunch with important members of the Oswego community.
"Our fire and police chief are excellent ambassadors to our community who know how to relate to, and inspire, our students," Barlow said.


I've never particularly been a fan of "things", but when I needed them, you can bet that I'd be the first to find what I needed as economically as possible. I'd feel a swell of pride that I could make do with an inexpensive alternative, or was patient enough to scope out the best deal. I wouldn't consider myself cheap – frugal or thrifty would be my preferred adjectives – though cost-cutting is some kind of game I like to play, competing (mostly) with myself.
At the same time, I don't have an extensive purchase history, at least by the standards I see plastered across the media or embedded in today's onslaught of advertising. My parents have always had to poke, prod, and probe to get me to produce "wish lists" come birthdays or Christmas. I couldn't tell you why; I'm just wired that way. (It's not like I was so aware or well-meaning as a young kid that I would insist my parents donate a toy to someone else who needs it instead, though that would have been admirable). This has generally remained the same as I've gotten older – my monthly spending is almost entirely rent, utilities & food, with some dining out, donations, Target runs, and miscellaneous things mixed in. Though I have my own income now, purchasing things "just because" is far from habit.
I don't mean any of this in some kind of boastful way, only to let anyone reading this know where I'm coming from: a background with access to "things", but without an overwhelming desire to obtain them. While I'm not someone who might be considered a materialist, or an over-consumer, that doesn't mean that I've adopted habits that mean I'm truly doing shopping "right".
Just because I'm not someone who has not historically been attracted to all things shiny and new doesn't mean that I've contributed more than my fair share to environmental degradation and inhumane treatment of people I never have, and never will meet.
I value our environment, I value community, I value others – and a globalized consumer culture has hung a sheet between the items that stock the grocery and department store aisles and their sources, generating a juxtaposition of my values and actions.
So why not try to change?
This year, I will. This year will be an attempt to truly consider where the products and food I purchase come from, whose hands have touched them, and the impact I'm having on people and the planet. This year, I will borrow, barter, then buy – and only buy new if I can support someone locally, or buy from a company or organization that is truly aligning with my values.
However, I don't intend for this to be something I hang up as we ring in 2018. Perhaps by then this will all seem routine or automatic, or I'll have discerned what parts of this are sustainable and what may need to give in the long term.
This adventure of sorts I'm about to embark on is not about not consuming, but consuming in an intentional, conscious way. I'm not swearing off buying things to curb an addiction to shopping, to save money, or prove a point (though, if there are some economic benefits, I'll gladly accept). Instead, I'm looking to "purchase deliberately", and take more responsibility for the actions I take with the power of the pocketbook.
I'm aware that this is a choice of mine that comes loaded with privilege; I have the luxury of being able to spend time contemplating my decisions, patiently scope out used items, or perhaps spend more on something that is made locally than scooping it off the affordable Wal-Mart shelves. No matter how much I cut back, I know that I'll still consume far more than most of the world's population. And that's an issue I'll explore more as the year goes on. But if I'm in a position to be able to help support local farmers & makers, and divert my dollars from elsewhere, then shouldn't I?
In these last few days before the new year begins, I'll finalize my plans for the and share them on this site. I imagine the year will unfold much like a Scrabble or Monopoly game with a new crowd – with a lot of rule-checking & making as it goes on. (Obviously, used underwear and TP aren't really a thing. So we'll be working though that). For me, the challenge is one thing, but the principle is what truly matters.
So here we go: the road to conscious consumerism begins now.
Glad to have you stop by! No need to apologize – your so-called "blabbing" is absolutely welcome here. I think you're right that raising awareness & presenting potentially challenging information is a key to making changes.
Hey! This is a great idea and I look forward to reading more about your journey. 🙂 It also makes me think that this is something I could be more intentional about doing in my own life. I've never been a huge spender either, but it would be interesting this year to take a look at what my husband and I do consume and consider more carefully where it comes from, etc. Great thoughts! Thanks for sharing!

Nothing Beats Having Camp In Person
By Envision Marketing • Sep 01, 2022
Three years was far too long to not meet in person for Heather's Camp! But the campers and counselors made up for every minute during the four days of Heather's Camp this month. Heather's Camp is a national summer camp for children who are blind or visually impaired.
Kids from ages 7-18 have a traditional camp experience in an inclusive environment. It is a great opportunity to build independence, make new friends, and gain confidence – regardless of vision level.
"It was amazing to see how much these kids have grown since I last saw them, and not just in size, but also in independence and self-confidence," said one Heather's Camp counselor. "I can't wait to see my HC family again next year!"
Long-time camper, Rich Yamamoto, reflected on his experience. "I had an amazing time at Heather's Camp. I reconnected with old friends, made some new ones and made memories that I will never forget. This was the last time I was a camper at Heather's Camp. Definitely can't wait to come back as a counselor next year."
"We had a great return to in-person camp for Heather's Camp at YMCA Camp Wood in Elmdale, KS, stated Hannah Christenson, Director of Community Programs. "We had over 40 campers from Kansas, Texas, Colorado, Missouri, Wisconsin and even Hawaii.
"We were so privileged to be able to join the Heather's Camp family," said the Knight family, who traveled all the way from Hawaii with their child who is visually impaired.
The camp experience gives kids the opportunity to participate in activities including music, arts and crafts, horseback riding, archery, swimming, dance night and much more. Heather's Camp is scheduled to return to Camp Wood again next year.

Our farm toys are just simply fun. They are inexpensive, but well executed. The first is a Tomy windup toy that reminds us of the "Three Little Pigs" nursery rhyme. Then we have an Easter tin toy chick that fits inside the Easter Egg. It comes with a key. Finally, we get a set of Roosters that peck away as a kid squeezes the handle.
The pig winds up well and works once the key is pulled out. It is near new old stock. Then the pecking roosters work well too, no issues.


Two years ago, when I had just started this blog, I presented Felix Mendelssohn incidental music to William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Since I first read this play some 20 years ago on a bus stop in Scotland, my vision for the setting of this play has remained the same: a forest with mysterious colored lights twinkling in the darkness, the heavy sweet of smell of flowers in the air, meteorite showers illuminating the nocturnal sky and – music! At that time I was not aware of Mendelssohn's masterpiece, but once I had heard it my reaction was: Oh yes, this is it, very much so! Mendelssohn set my vision to music.
A magical forest then. An enchanted forest? Probably every child has dreamed once in a while to explore such a forest, to meet strange creatures like Alice did and to live through a series of adventures. The French composer Vincent d'Indy takes us to such a place. In 1878 he wrote "La Forêt Enchantée", Op. 8. It is a symphonic ballad inspired by the poem "Harald" written by the German poet Ludwig Uhland.
Uhland describes in this Romantic ballad how a knight called Harald and his companions enter a forest at night. The moon casts a mysterious light on the marching men, strange sounds are in the air – elves! They surround Harald's companions and one by one they succumb to their charm. The fairies disarm the warriors and take them away to their wonderland, only Harald resists. The departure of his companions makes him melancholic, he approaches a spring, drinks the cool water and falls to sleep for many centuries. In his sleep he grows older and in his dreams he clutches his sword whenever he hears the thunder of a storm.
By the time d'Indy wrote "La Forêt Enchantée" he had already decided to become a composer and to abandon the idea of a career as an army officer. From early age on he had received piano lessons and as a young man he had attended Franz Liszt's piano masterclasses in Weimar. Two years prior to the composition of the ballad, d'Indy had been at the premiere of Richard Wagner's "Ring der Nibelungen" at Bayreuth, and came back to Paris emotionally overwhelmed by "Die Walküre" and "Götterdämmerung".
The dramatic adagio echoes Wagner's late-Romantic musical language, illustrated by the prominent part of the brass and their subtle use in the first movement in a march-like theme: Harald and his companions enter forest. A mysterious sustained string theme and a chant-like theme for the flute announces the elves mesmerizing the knights, disarming and luring them into their kingdom. The third movement starts vigorously with an emphasis on the timpani and the brass at first and a calm theme for the woods – the knights' useless resistance and Harald's loneliness and melancholy – a little later. And the composer embeds it all in that whizzing sound of the strings – musical fairy dust!
What a treat! What a precious little piece of music! I truly love it! The Iceland Symphony Orchestra has recorded it.
It was shot in a parc in the Loire region (France).
