Time is running out for realistic climate commitments - The Climate Change Committee
The Government has made historic climate promises in the past year, for which it deserves credit. However, it has been too slow to follow these with delivery. This defining year for the UK's climate credentials has been marred by uncertainty and delay to a host of new climate strategies. Those that have emerged have too often missed the mark. With every month of inaction, it is harder for the UK to get on track.
The Prime Minister's Ten-Point Plan was an important statement of ambition, but it has yet to be backed with firm policies. The public has not been informed or engaged in the changes that must lie ahead. There is still a window to make comprehensive plans and demonstrate leadership at home and to a global audience, but the Government is taking a high-stakes gamble to focus everything on a new Net Zero Strategy in the autumn to achieve that.
It is absolutely critical that the new strategy is published before the COP26 climate summit, with clear policy plans, backed fully by the Treasury. It must be accompanied by a commitment to prepare the country for the serious climate risks facing the UK, as the next cycle of adaptation planning begins.
In two progress reports, published today, the Committee offers its appraisal of progress on the twin climate challenges: cutting emissions to Net Zero and adapting to the climate risks facing the UK. We draw on the Committee's comprehensive analysis of the UK's Sixth Carbon Budget and our recent third Climate Change Risk Assessment to present more than 200 climate policy recommendations, covering every part of Government. The opportunity to implement them is there if the Government moves decisively.

Racked and Stacked

Opposites don't just attract in the West—they sizzle—and Wyoming has never been hotter than in this sexy Blacktop Cowboys® novel from New York Times bestselling author Lorelei James.
Growing up with three older brothers, Larissa "Riss" Thorpe defines the term tomboy—a moniker that never mattered to her until she crossed paths with sexy cowboy player Ike Palmer. Seeing him in action on the road, Riss can tell that Ike prefers his women soft-spoken and feminine. And since Riss is obviously not his type, it's unlikely that they'll mix business and pleasure when they're in close quarters together.
Former cattle broker Ike Palmer was ready for a new chapter in his life as a stock contractor when he started working with Riss, a sassy truck driver who gets under his skin at every turn. But Riss is unlike any woman he's ever met and her candor inflames him in the most unexpected ways.
After circumstances force a truce between them, Riss and Ike will have to choose to maintain the stubbornness that keeps them apart or take a chance on the fiery attraction that could lead to something more....
Blacktop Cowboys Series , #9
Lorelei James is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Need You Series and the Blacktop Cowboys® Series. Her books have won the Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award, as well as the CAPA Award.
Larissa Thorpe prided herself on the fact that she'd never cried at a wedding.
And her tomboy reputation had nothing to do with it.
Truthfully, she couldn't remember the last time she'd cried over anything. She wasn't prone to dramatic outbursts--unless she was pissed off--and yelling was more her style.
"For godsake, Riss, would you pay attention?" Ike hissed in her ear.
Speaking of pissing her off . . .
Riss ignored the impulse to jam her elbow into his ribs. They were on day sixty-one of their truce-the last day-and she wouldn't be the one to blow it.
Without making eye contact, she hissed back, "Shove a sock in it, Palmer. I am paying attention. The song is almost over."
She'd kept her focus on the bride and groom--although Jade and Tobin were so engrossed in each other that Riss doubted they'd notice when the soloist stopped warbling.
"Shove a sock in it?" Ike repeated. "Are you ending our truce?"
"Hell no. That was me being nice."
Ike mumbled something.
The singer finished.
Jade turned to Riss, handing over her bridal bouquet. As agreed, Riss and Ike stepped to the side, allowing the guests to watch the bride and groom repeat their vows.
There hadn't been a sneak peek at those vows at the rehearsal the night before. The minister's only advice was for them to speak loudly and clearly during the ceremony.
The first sign this wouldn't be the typical "'til death do us part" exchange was when Jade began to list the reasons why she fell in love with Tobin. Some funny. Some romantic. Some slyly dirty. Her words were such an intimate glimpse into the bond the couple shared as lovers, friends and life partners that Riss's nose began to itch.
A reaction she blamed on the flowers--gardenias always made her sneeze.
Then Tobin started his vows to Jade. Achingly sweet promises. Words of devotion that Tobin wasn't the least bit self-conscious about sharing in front of everyone. Inside jokes that had Jade laughing through her tears.
Riss kept it together until Tobin slipped the ring on Jade's finger. "I never believed in soul mates even when I secretly hoped for one of my own. When you came into my life . . . my head, my heart and my body went wild for you. And finally my soul was at peace. It was whole for the first time because you are my other half, Jade. And this love--who we are together, what we bring to each other, the life we're building--was so worth the wait."
At that point, Riss didn't bother to hide her tears. So much for her "not crying" record.
Not that anyone was paying attention to her anyway--as it should be.
Sniffles echoed behind her. She chanced a glance at Ike. The lump in her throat hardened as she silently willed him not to look at her.
He didn't.
Not when the preacher pronounced Jade and Tobin husband and wife.
Not when Tobin kissed Jade with a passion that was unnerving to witness.
Ike ignored her until Tobin yelled, "Hot damn! Me'n Mrs. Hale will be a little late for the reception, but y'all go ahead," and swept Jade into his arms, then raced out of the room.
No one said a word.
Even the minister seemed shocked.
Then Garnet Evans, wearing a sequined Grandmother of the Bride sash, stood up in the front row and addressed the wedding guests. "Well, you heard my new grandson. Let's get this party started."
The minister insisted that Ike and Riss dismiss the wedding guests one row at a time.
That's when they exchanged a "WTF?" look and Riss realized they were meant to employ a delaying tactic.
After the first row exited, Riss muttered through her smile, "You coulda warned me that Tobin planned to bolt with the bride as soon as the ceremony ended."
"I had no idea, but the minister knows what's up."
Riss nodded to Bran and Harper Turner. "Do you remember the last time he said they'd be 'a little late' to us?"
"They caught the final fifteen minutes of that shitty movie we didn't want to see." He dipped his chin to the Lawsons--Abe and Janie, and Hank and Lainie--as they shuffled out. "And the time before that-"
"We ended up watching the demolition derby by ourselves because they didn't show up at all." She nodded to Renner and Tierney Jackson. "They'd better not pull a no-show at their own wedding reception."
"We're already stuck delaying the guests. What else can we do?"
"Find them ASAP." Riss nudged him with her shoulder. "Bet you thought bein' best man meant just showing up in a suit and handing over the rings."
"I say we check the laundry room first. The vibrating machines only set Tobin back a couple of quarters. And who washes clothes at a resort on a Saturday night?" Since nearly all of the wedding guests were local, it'd been business as usual for the Split Rock Ranch and Resort, the wedding venue. Resort guests were being treated to a closed-door, catered dinner in the lounge during the short wedding ceremony in the main lodge.
"Nope. Too public for Tobin. I'd guess they're in one of the offices."
The last two rows of guests exited and the maintenance crew immediately started moving chairs.
"We would've seen him hoof it up the stairs." She faced him. "The barns are too dirty. The kitchen is filled with the catering staff. The bar is brimming with resort guests."
"It's freezin' outside so they ain't fogging up the windows in his truck."
They said, "The clothing store," at the same time.
Ike led the way at a quick clip with Riss right behind him.
After turning the corner, they noticed the horny couple had left the glass door to Wild West Clothiers ajar.
Dumb-asses.
In the hallway leading to the dressing rooms, Riss and Ike heard the thump thump thump of movement against a solid surface. Their eyes met for a moment when female moans and male grunts escalated.
Yay. They'd arrived in time to hear the big finish.
"Lucky us, huh?" Ike drawled.
Lucky Jade.
For the briefest moment, Riss wondered if she'd ever experience that kind of devoted urgency. Sure, she'd had her share of lustful encounters, but that burning need never lasted beyond a night or two.
So it wasn't as if she didn't believe lust, love, respect and a lifelong commitment was possible with one man. She'd seen it happen to several of her friends; Riss just lacked faith that it'd happen to her.
"Hey," Ike yelled, pounding on the wall, scaring the crap out of her-and evidently the newlyweds, because Jade screamed. "Quit fucking around and get your horny asses to your damn wedding reception."
Then Tobin bellowed, "Did you follow us?"
"Someone had to," Riss chimed in. "Better us than-"
"Your mom and dad," Ike inserted. "Or your-"
"Grandma Garnet," Riss added, grinning at Ike. "Although, the Mud Lilies would get a huge kick out of finding you two cracking the plaster in the dressing room."
"They'd probably take pictures," Ike said. "Miss Maybelle does have that fancy new camera-"
"And it would add those juicy details everyone wants when she writes up the wedding announcement in the Muddy Gap Gazette."
Jade's gasp was soothed by Tobin's low, reassuring rumble. Then he said, "Come on, guys. Give us five more minutes."
"Five minutes and that's it," Riss shot back. "And Jade better not have sex hair, Tobin. I mean it."
"Fine! Now will you two just go?"
Riss dragged Ike out of the store.
Laughing, Ike held his fist out for a bump. "That went well."
"They are lucky we found them before anyone else did." Riss slumped against the wall. "We're through the easiest part. How many hours you reckon we have left?"
"Hell if I know." Ike looked at her curiously. "What do you mean we're through the easiest part?"
"The wedding itself. Now we gotta make sure no one monopolizes the bride and groom's time. Plus there's the toasts, cutting the cake, the first dance . . ."
"Stuff I haven't thought about, since I just showed up in a suit with the rings," he said drolly.
"Yep. Which is why if the Mud Lilies get out of hand, you're dealing with them. They tend to get liquored up at an open bar."
"So does someone else I know."
Riss shook her head. "No, sir. I promised Jade I'd be on my best behavior."
Ike looked skeptical.
That annoyed her. "I keep my promises, Palmer. Besides, there aren't any hookup possibilities. You, me, Tobin's brother Streeter and the Mud Lilies are the only singles here."
"Why are you discounting Streeter?"
"Beyond the fact he's a traumatized widower with an equally traumatized young daughter? That's a pass for me. A hard pass."
"Too much trouble?"
"The guys I pick know the score. Streeter doesn't. It wouldn't be fair to pretend I'm interested in more than one go-around just to get my hands on that banging body of his."
"You're not one of them women who wants to heal him?"
"Uh . . . no. I can't fix myself; I'd never be cocky enough to assume I understand what he needs. Especially when I doubt he knows himself."
When Ike didn't respond and she felt him staring at her, she snapped, "What?"
Ike shrugged. "Just surprises me when you prove you got a brain beneath them mean red curls."
She snorted. "A backhanded compliment skirts the borderline of a truce-breaking comment."
From the moment they'd crossed paths two and a half years ago, Riss and Ike had maintained an antagonistic relationship. It started after Ike had gotten her brother Lloyd fired from his first postmilitary job. The Thorpe family held the "all for one" mentality, so if all three of her brothers hated Ike, then Riss did too . . . even when she kind of suspected that Ike wasn't entirely responsible for Lloyd getting canned.
But Ike hadn't helped matters by acting toward her like the asshole that her brothers claimed he was. With everyone else, he personified cowboy charm, even earning the nickname Palmer the Charmer. So when Riss's BFF Jade got engaged to Ike's BFF Tobin, and they started seeing even more of each other--besides just occasionally working together--they decided to put their past behind them and forge a truce. Which turned out to be easier than Riss had imagined.
"Admit you can't wait to end this truce," Ike prompted.
"You admit it first, ass--I mean sassafras."
"Ooh. You almost blew sixty-one days of not-horrible behavior," Ike taunted her.
"Horrible behavior? Think they're talkin' about how rude and downright mean it was to interrupt us?" Tobin said behind them.
"They do seem a little smug, don't they?" Jade said.
Riss whirled around to give Jade a once-over. "You look spectacularly fucked, Mrs. Hale."
"I am." She kissed Tobin's jaw. "For now."
"Come on, tiger." Tobin's gaze flicked between them. "We owe you for that. Big-time."
Riss waited until the couple was out of earshot before she said, "Did that sound like a threat?"
"Vaguely. But it's not in the same league as the threats you've given me."
"Used to give you," she said sweetly. "Do you miss those threats?"
"Nope." He grinned. "But they were creative as hell. I will admit that much. So feel free to direct those insults at anyone else to keep me entertained tonight."
Riss pretended to wipe away a tear. "That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me."
As they reached the main lobby, Ike said, "Think Boy Scout and Sweetie Pie will ditch their wedding reception again?"
Her former nemesis had a sly sense of humor. Calling Tobin "Boy Scout" and Jade "Sweetie Pie" always made her laugh because his descriptions of their BFFs were dead-on. "They can try. It's up to us to stop them."
Ike groaned.
She patted his cheek. "Smile, cowboy. The night is all uphill from here."

    {

        $msquery = $this->getModelManager()
                ->getEntityManager('PersonnelBundle:Lookup\Lookup')

                ))

                ->add(..)
        ;
    }

** My Problem: **
I need the form for add new lookup(medical service)  from inside the EmployeeMedicalService Admin Form to be preloaded  with the field Type value set to 'medical_service' When I attempt to add a new Medical Service from inside the EmployeeMedicalService Admin Form or else a new lookup is added without the value if Type set to NULL

This is the
LookupAdmin
protected function configureFormFields(FormMapper $formMapper)
    {
        $formMapper
                ->add('name', 'text', array(
                    'label' => 'personnel.lookup.form.name'
                ))
                ->add('type', 'hidden', array(
                    'label' => 'personnel.lookup.form.type',
                ))
        ;
    }

A: If you inspect ajax request for the popup form you will notice extra query parameters, such as pcode. You could check if this parameter exists and equals EmployeeMedicalServiceAdmin admin class code then set lookup type to medical_service.
UPDATE
Add this king of logic in the getNewInstance() method:
public function getNewInstance()
{
    $type = isset($_GET['pcode']) ? 'medical_service' : '';
    $instance = new \PersonnelBundle\Entity\Employee\EmployeeMedicalService($type);

    return $object;
}

24-7-365 minimizing the costs associated with expensive downtime and worker discomfort. Aerospace component manufacturers, specialty chemical/process industries, biopharma, printing/publishing/paper houses and food processing plants are among Oatley's most esteemed clientele.
Client satisfaction---whether it's at a hospital, health care, surgi-center or medical offices within CT---demands the vigilant responsiveness of plant management and property management teams alike. Oatley successfully works within some of most demanding management teams in environments where life safety, security and comfort are among the top priorities, addressing gas piping re-design and installation, plumbing emergencies, and providing routine mechanical systems and building controls services.
Oatley addresses the comfort and operational needs of a variety of privately-run and quasi-public schools and university facilities throughout the state from service to large Cleaver-Brooks and H.B. Smith boiler systems to duct work design, fabrication and installation for science and medical laboratories as well as construction project and building systems' maintenance scheduling and implementation.
These tough economic times mean property owners and managers must maintain a healthy balance between tenant comfort and bottom line profits in order to attract and keep good tenants on site. Oatley's management and technical teams are sensitive to this inherent "tightrope walk" involved in daily property management operations and work to advocate for the property management representative in addressing and meeting the space comfort and fit-out needs of their tenants.
Oatley is consistently tapped to address the design, installation, repair, replacement and maintenance of mechanical/plumbing systems within a variety of government and municipal buildings throughout Connecticut.
By establishing an effective, comprehensive pre-scheduled program of maintenance for air conditioning, heating, humidification and dehumidification systems, indoor air quality can be measurably improved to curtail the negative effects of "bad air" or "sick building syndrome" and related liabilities.
Well maintained HVAC and peripheral equipment can reduce energy consumption costs by as much as 18-25%.
Heating, Cooling and Humidity Control Systems that are properly designed, installed and maintained at OEM-recommended intervals can extend service beyond the expected life cycle of the systems, therefore increasing system ROI over time, and effectively delay replacement expenditures.
By implementing a program of service over a period of three to five years, operating costs can be better contained through efficient budgeting and developing operational trending or forecasting based upon peak usage periods during your fiscal year.
Whether it's dental work, auto maintenance or a building's mechanical/plumbing systems' service, waiting until a breakdown or failure occurs is expensive! Save yourself the agony, aggravation and headache of frantic reactive "fix it now" service. Implement a program of predictive, proactive maintenance that attends to impending problems before they become costly repairs... or worse.

Ethics Panel Hands DeLay Second Rebuke in a Week
By John Bresnahan
Posted October 6, 2004 at 10:18pm
The decision by the House ethics committee Wednesday to admonish Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas), the second time the panel has done so in a week, sheds new light on a 2002 incident involving Westar Energy, Inc,. a Kansas-based firm, and efforts by company officials to win Congressional approval of a legislative provision potentially worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the firm.
The Committee on Standards of Official Conduct on Wednesday admonished DeLay in response to a three-part complaint filed by Rep. Chris Bell (D-Texas).
The committee found that DeLay had created "an appearance of impropriety" by attending a June 2002 golf fundraiser with Westar lobbyists after the company had given $25,000 to a Texas political action committee founded by DeLay, as well as donating to DeLay's re-election campaign. Westar at the time was lobbying for a change in a pending energy bill, and had targeted DeLay as an influential lawmaker who could help it achieve its goal, according to internal company e-mails.
DeLay was also rebuked for using his staff to contact Federal Aviation Administration officials for help tracking down wayward Democrats in the Texas Legislature during a 2003 redistricting battle in the Lone Star State.
Action by the ethics panel on a third allegation by Bell, that DeLay used the same Texas PAC, Texas for a Republican Majority PAC, to improperly funnel corporate contributions to Texas state candidates in violation of Texas law, was deferred in light of an ongoing probe of those charges by Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle.
The rebuke comes just days after the committee admonished DeLay and Reps. Candice Miller (R-Mich.) and Nick Smith (R-Mich.) for their actions before and during a controversial November 2003 vote to add a prescription drug benefit to Medicare.
Despite the unanimous decision by the 10-member ethics committee to admonish him on the FAA and Westar charges, DeLay remained defiant and went to great lengths Wednesday to claim victory and point out that the panel had declined to appoint an investigative subcommittee on any of the allegations, as Bell had requested.
"The Ethics Committee has done the right thing in dismissing Mr. Bell's embellished allegations with bipartisan unanimity," said DeLay in a statement. After a meeting with several dozen House Republicans last night to shore up his support following the committee's announcement, DeLay declared, "Admonishment doesn't even exist in the House rules."
DeLay and his House GOP allies, including Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), also characterized Bell's complaint as politically motivated, and suggested that Bell had improperly tarnished DeLay's reputation in his ethics filing by claiming DeLay had taken bribes or illegal gratuities in return for legislative action, allegations not substantiated by any evidence uncovered by the ethics committee.
But some ethics watchdog groups are now calling for DeLay to step down as Majority Leader, and House Democrats, led by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), will ratchet up the political pressure on DeLay during a press conference this morning.
"Members of the Congressional leadership should be above reproach," said Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a liberal watchdog group. "If the Republican Conference wants the American people to believe that it takes ethics seriously, it must insist that Mr. DeLay resign his post as Majority Leader."
On Westar, Democrats and the outside groups have raised objections for more than a year over the company's interactions with DeLay and several other GOP lawmakers, including Energy and Commerce Chairman Joe Barton (Texas) and Rep. Billy Tauzin (La.), his predecessor atop that influential panel.
As part of its nearly four-month review of Bell's complaint, the ethics committee did extensive "fact finding" on the Westar allegations, including obtaining information on the case from DeLay, Barton and Tauzin, as well as several top staffers to the two Texas Republicans and former Westar lobbyists.
In the end, the committee determined that "neither Representative DeLay nor anyone acting on his behalf improperly solicited contributions from Westar … and Representative DeLay took no action with regard to Westar that would constitute an impermissible special favor."
But the ethics committee found that DeLay and his staff had had extensive contacts with Westar officials and lobbyists following the company's $25,000 donation to TRMPAC, access that would not have been available without that donation.
In a joint memorandum to committee members from Reps. Joel Hefley (R-Colo.) and Alan Mollohan (D-W.Va.), the ethics chairman and ranking member, respectively, the two lawmakers wrote that the committee "obtained information indicating that [Rep.] DeLay's participation in and facilitation of an energy company fundraiser in June 2002 is objectionable in that his actions, at a minimum, created the appearance that donors were being provided with special access to Representative DeLay regarding the then-pending energy legislation."
Westar lobbied Congress for well over a year to include a provision in an energy bill exempting the company from tighter regulation under the Investment Company Act, which covers mutual funds, if lawmakers decided to deregulate the nation's electricity market. The investment law would have come into play because of Westar's decision in 2000 to restructure itself, due in part to the acquisition of nonutility businesses such as home security alarm firms during the decade before and the resulting debts from those purchases. Westar wanted to split into two companies, one a regulated utility carrying most of the company's debt, and the other a private-sector firm with only modest debts, able to explore new businesses. Hundreds of millions of dollars were potentially at stake if Congress deregulated electricity markets but didn't exempt Westar from the ICA.
Beginning in June 2001, a Westar lobbyist, Richard Bornemann, met with Barton to discuss the company's proposal, and in September 2001, Barton included the provision in electricity legislation he was then circulating and later formally introduced.
In August 2001, the House passed energy legislation, but it didn't include the Westar provision or repeal of the Public Utilities Holding Company Act, the larger change in federal law that would have threatened Westar's subsidiary with tougher federal regulation.
But a Senate version of the energy bill adopted in April 2002 had both PUHCA repeal and the Westar provision, which was "grandfathered" in along with the PUHCA initiative, and Westar wanted to make sure its proposal survived a House-Senate conference on the energy bill.
By April 2002, Westar officials were scrambling to find ways to improve their overall political profile in Washington, according to the Hefley-Mollohan report, and had developed a strategy to do so, including targeting members of the GOP Congressional leadership for campaign donations.
That effort was detailed in a memo that month by Bornemann, an outside lobbyists hired by Westar, and according to Hefley and Mollohan, the Bornemann memo "does not tie that [donation] program to the provision that Westar was seeking in the then-pending energy legislation."
However, a May 20, 2002, e-mail from Doug Lawrence, then Westar's vice president for public affairs, based in part on Bornemann's proposal, did appear to link the fate of the company's legislative provision to campaign contributions.
"Right now, we are working on getting our grandfather provision on PUHCA repeal into the Senate version of the energy bill," wrote Lawrence to another Westar executive. "It requires working with the Conference Committee to achieve. We have a plan for participation to get a seat at the table, which has been approved by [David Wittig, Westar's former chairman, president and CEO] the total package will be $31,500 in hard money (individual) and $25,000 in soft money (corporate). Right now, we have $11,500 in immediate needs for a group of candidates associated with Tom Delay [sic], Billy Tauzin, Joe Barton and Senator Richard Shelby (R-Ala.)."
Shelby was described as "our anchor on the Senate side."
Lawrence, who is no longer with Westar, added: "Delay [sic] is the House Majority Leader. His agreement is necessary before the House Conferees can push the language we have in place in the House bill."
Slightly more than one week later, Westar gave $25,000 in soft money to TRMPAC, a donation that allowed two company representatives to attend a golf fundraiser with DeLay the following month at The Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, Va.
That event had been set up by a former DeLay aide, Drew Maloney, who in March 2002 had left the Texas Republican's office to become a lobbyist.
Maloney had handled energy issues for DeLay, and attendance at the June golf outing was limited to executives from five energy companies, including Westar.
Two staffers in DeLay's leadership office Jack Victory, who took over for Maloney on energy issues, and Carl Thorsen, his counsel also attended The Homestead event.
While Bell's complaint suggested that DeLay had improperly solicited the Westar contribution to TRMPAC, Hefley and Mollohan determined that was not the case. "In sum, the information we have obtained does not indicate that Representative DeLay or anyone acting on his behalf solicited campaign contributions from Westar in an improper manner," Hefley and Mollohan wrote.
But during the June 2-3, 2002, event at The Homestead, Lawrence and another Westar official twice personally told DeLay of their desire to get a provision in the energy bill affecting their company, according to testimony given to the ethics committee by their lawyer. Lawrence also gave a DeLay aide a "briefing book" the company had put together on the issue.
DeLay, when asked about those conversations by the ethics committee, did not answer the question directly of whether he spoke to Lawrence, and said none of his aides could recall any such discussions with Lawrence or receiving any Westar materials.
In a June 25, 2002, memo on the need for further campaign contributions from Lawrence to other Westar officials, Lawrence wrote: "Right now, we have made significant progress with House Majority Whip Tom Delay [sic] and [then] Energy Subcommittee chairman Joe Barton. The contributions made in the first round were successful in opening the appropriate dialogue."
Bornemann, Westar's outside lobbyist, then wrote to DeLay's office on June 28, 2002, seeking a meeting between DeLay and David Wittig, then the head of Westar.
In his letter, Bornemann "noted Westar's participation in The Homestead fundraiser" when placing his request with DeLay's office. That meeting eventually took place on Sept. 25, 2002, as the House and Senate were trying to hash out the final details of the energy package. According to Lawrence, DeLay told Wittig at that time that "there was no certainty that Westar's provision" would be in the final energy bill.
While Westar lobbied DeLay behind closed doors, Tauzin and Barton were openly pushing for the company's provision.
On Sept. 13 and 18, 2002, Tauzin and Barton circulated to the Senate draft electricity deregulation bills that included the Westar provision.
Then, on Sept. 19, Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.), who was also on the conference committee, introduced an amendment to strike the Westar provision from the House offer. Barton spoke in "mild opposition" to the Markey amendment, and it was defeated.
However, on Sept. 27, the roof fell in on Westar. The company disclosed that Wittig and other top Westar officials were being investigated by the U.S. Attorney's office in Topeka, Kan., and that subpoenas had been issued by a federal grand jury. The Securities and Exchange Commission was also looking into the company's activities.
The investigation focused on a number of allegations against Wittig and another top Westar official, Douglas Lake, former executive vice president.
The two men now each face 40 federal charges, including conspiracy, wire fraud and falsification of records, and federal prosecutors are looking to recover more than $30 million from the pair.
Wittig and Lake have denied the charges, and their trial could start next week.
On Sept. 30, 2002, Westar's announcement of a federal investigation of its CEO and executive vice president was sent to all conferees on the energy bill, as well as a letter from the Kansas utility regulators opposing the Westar provision. Kansas regulators claimed Westar was just looking for Congress to help it shift its corporate debts onto the citizens of Kansas, who could have ended up paying hiring electricity rates.
Faced with a barrage of negative publicity, Barton decided to drop the Westar measure from the legislation.
That same day, Lawrence sent an e-mail to Wittig stating: "The Delay [sic] staff has asked us to release people from their commitment to support our provision."
DeLay and his aides told the ethics committee they were "not aware" or could not remember any such commitments made to Westar by any Members or staff, including DeLay himself.
In their informal investigation of DeLay and Westar, Hefley and Mollohan found that "neither [DeLay] nor any member of his staff took any action with regard to that provision other than engaging in meetings and other communications with representatives of Westar."
But the two were clearly concerned that DeLay took part in the June 2002 fundraiser at The Homestead just as the House-Senate talks on the energy bill were set to begin, and Hefley and Mollohan noted that DeLay himself was a conferee and thus in a "strong position" to influence the negotiations in favor of Westar.
In addition, Hefley and Mollohan pointed out that the ethics committee had warned DeLay to be more careful back in 1997 when it dismissed a complaint against him alleging special treatment he reportedly gave to those donors who had given to Republicans.
"The focus in the present matter is not so much on the statements made by Representative DeLay, but more on actions he took i.e., his action in facilitating and participating in the energy company fundraiser that raise the very same concern expressed in that earlier Committee statement," Hefley and Mollohan wrote.

Are the Emergents "Yesterday's News"? Part 1
Was there Death Before the Fall? Interview with Krista Bontrager
Posted by R. Scott Smith on August 17, 2018 in Philosophical Apologetics, R. Scott Smith
In 2005, Crossway published my book, Truth and the New Kind of Christian: The Emerging Effects of Postmodernism in the Church. It was the second book on the emerging church, and it was specifically on Brian McLaren's and Tony Jones's views. There was a surging interest in the emerging church & Emergent then. There was lots of discussion, and Zondervan was publishing many such books.
While strong criticisms were developing, around 2010, McLaren's A New Kind of Christianity came out, and things changed significantly. Evangelical academics and publishers at places like the Evangelical Theological Society national meetings saw the emerging church as "yesterday's news."[1] I noticed a marked decrease in willingness to really listen to and carefully assess their views. Like someone at one of my presentations blurted out (paraphrasing), "Can't we just call them heretics and move on?!"
Even emergentvillage.com ceased to exist. But, that did not mean the end of the conversations that had been generated. Contrary to the attitude I observed amongst many evangelicals, I began to observe that the influence of McLaren, Jones, and others, such as Doug Pagitt and Rob Bell, had morphed and actually increased. Instead of publishing with companies like Zondervan, now they write for some of the largest presses, such as HarperCollins and Random House. They have their own ministries, which for Pagitt and Jones host training conferences, and Jones earned his PhD in practical theology and teaches as a professor. Bell and his views have become widely publicized, now extended through his podcast, an e-course available through Oprah.com, and a television show on her network. And McLaren writes prolifically. Moreover, they now write under the broader umbrella of "progressive" Christianity.
When I wrote Truth, I tried to balance some criticism with some important things they had to say to evangelicals. Then, in fall 2006, I taught a class at Biola for our Christian Apologetics program. I was learning more, and Jones offered to do an interview by phone.
I had asked the Lord if there was something specific he wanted me to ask Tony, and I believe He gave me a specific answer, yet which seemed unusual. It wasn't about anything that as of then I had written or studied. I am glad I asked Tony. I was blown away by what I learned. I realized there was much more I needed to research and study.
So, I started to read more broadly, including works of Pagitt, Bell, Stan Grenz, John Franke, and more. I started to see more connections than their epistemological concerns, which was my focus in Truth. There also were ethical ones about patterns they noticed amongst evangelicals. They also were making shifts regarding the nature of humans and the relationship of creation with God.
At the same time, I too started to become aware of some patterns amongst evangelicals, ones that seemed to explain why I think, all too often, we are not seeing the biblically-promised power and presence of the Lord. As I investigated this, I came to realize that McLaren, Jones, Pagitt, and Bell actually were much more on target about what has gone wrong with the church than I understood when I wrote Truth.
So, in my new book, Authentically Emergent: In Search of a Truly Progressive Christianity, I reconsider my earlier work, as well as carefully assess, pro and con, their updated thoughts. Yet, I think there is a much deeper set of factors at work in both these emergents' more recent views and amongst all too many evangelicals. In summary, I think both have been deeply deeply influenced by naturalism. I hope to offer a compelling analysis and a better way forward for both groups, one that will be truly "progressive" and "emergent" in the biblical sense that we will see the fullness of the power and presence of the Lord manifested in our midst, which we desperately need.
I am writing to both evangelicals, my emergent friends, and those influenced by them. So, why read this? There are many reasons, and I will look at some of them in my next post.
¹Scott Burson explains several reasons in his fine book, Brian McLaren in Focus (Abilene Christian University Press, 2016), 164.

Scott Smith is keenly interested in our abilities to have knowledge of reality, particularly in the areas of ethics and religion. He also is very interested in the needed ontology to have knowledge. He addresses "constructivism," the fact-value split, and issues with our being able to have knowledge on the basis of naturalism, postmodernism and nominalism. He also has written on the emergent church, as well as a knowledge argument and the moral argument for God's existence. Currently, he is working on exposing and addressing the many, even subtle, influences of naturalism on western churches. He also serves as secretary-treasurer for the Evangelical Philosophical Society.

Medicating a pet for the curiosity of convenience and since you don't wish to try to assist the dog via some favorable methodology of reinforcement with a veteran variety skilled isn't an exquisite plan.
Avoid holding the lower jaw, and don't hold it so tight that it's uncomfortable or the dog can't swallow. Dogs don't simply get the very same basic kinds of cancer folks to do. In case that you simply suppose your canine is not responding or may need negative effects to the drugs, you should first talk about your concerns along with your vet.

Metropolis animal shelters normally cost a set adoption charge regardless of age or breed, so it's prone to adopt a searching breed like a Yorkie for a minimal fee.
Get in touch with a veterinarian if you find your canine feeling nervous due to warmth. A pet must be in a place to unwind and self-sooth once the operator must leave the room.

Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare, Chef Cesar Ramirez in Brooklyn's Only Michelin 3-Star Restaruant - Downtown
18-Seat Chefs Table
15-Course Prix Fixe $306 (Service Charge Included)
Michelin 3-Stars
By lekkerwijn,
August 25, 2015 in New York City Restaurants and Dining
lekkerwijn
We had a fantastic dinner at the Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare on Friday night. Despite its reputation for being one of the hardest tables in NYC we made the reservation a few weeks ago with no difficulty and there were two empty seats at the 10 pm seating. The food was pretty much impeccable and we found the staff to be very friendly. It is a little annoying that they don't let you take pictures nor do you get any sort of menu or wine notes at the end of the night. This makes it harder to give a detailed accounting of what we ate and drank. The menu was very seafood heavy with a wagyu and duck course for meats. Mostly small bites of food and despite being around fifteen courses you don't walk out feeling sickeningly stuffed at the end of the meal. Wine pairings were good (not amazing) and seemed to pair well with the food.
Overall a gorgeous meal and worthy of the accolades.
lekkerwijn,
I've been to Michelin 3-Star restaurants only in France (Several) and New York (Per Se). I've been to many Michelin 2-Star restaurants in several countries. I can honestly say that I've never been to a Michelin 3-Star restaurant (that had already earned Michelin 3-stars while I was there) that didn't deserve it; I can think of two restaurants that were subsequently raised to 3-stars after I went (Eleven Madison Park in New York and Le Petit Nice in Marseilles), neither of which I can imagine having been promoted (that doesn't mean they didn't improve significantly in the years after I went). I've also been to some Michelin 2-Star restaurants that were subsequently raised to 3-stars after I went (Le Clos des Cimes in Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid comes to mind) that I *knew* were going to be promoted to 3-stars (they were that good).
What I'm saying with this lengthy preamble is: I know you've been to many Michelin 3-Star restaurants as well, and you have a lot of experience with top-end dining. My question to you is this: Do you think the Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare *really* deserves a 3-Star rating? It seems relatively easy to me to have one, and only one, table that the restaurant charges an arm-and-a-leg for, and lavishes attention on, and it's going to be fantastic (think of all the examples of this, starting right here at home with Minibar). It's much, *much* tougher to maintain such standards for an entire restaurant, and I think that, in a sense, it's "cheating" to have one table with a separate Michelin ranking. Think of all the thousands of customers that ThinkFoodGroup serves in a day; now think of how many dine at Minibar. Take one dollar from each table at all the ThinkFoodGroup restaurants, and use it to subsidize MiniBar, and you have an incredible restaurant - how can you not? And yet, that's the restaurant by which José Andrés is largely judged. Minibar is fantastic! Of course it is!
I remember joking with a fellow restaurant critic about a theoretical concept called "The Phone Booth" where there's only one seat, and you essentially get the best dining experience the world has to offer.
Okay, so: legitimate Michelin 3-Star for real? Despite my skepticism, I have no preconceived notions, and am perfectly willing to believe it merits its 3-Stars; I just want to hear it from you. The fact that you say the wine pairings were "good and not amazing" is almost enough to disqualify it in my mind. That said, my wine pairings at Per Se were "good and not amazing" as well.
I should add that, despite all I wrote here, I really only take Michelin seriously in France; they jumped the shark when they moved to other countries.
This is a good question! So at the risk of sounding like a total asshole, we've been to a number of 2 and 3 star restaurants over the past 18 months across the US, UK, Europe and Japan- including places like Eleven Madison Park, Fujiya 1935, Noma (Copenhagen and Tokyo two stars) and El Celler de Can Rocas.
Issue 1: I understand your point about scale and the ratio of quantity to quality and consistency. I can't speak to the cross subsidy issue or business model but my understanding is that these restaurants are passion projects for wealthy investors (much like a winery) and not going to make anyone rich. Maybe a lot like the music industry is today- the money is in the concerts, endorsements and merchandise, not in the music making. MiniBar is a passion project, Bazaar is expensive but probably breaks even, the rest of the chain drives revenues. Not shocking. Lots of companies work this way.
Issue 2: Wine pairings are notoriously hit or miss. I'm generally not super trusting of them since I recognize that they are often used to move merchandise. Wine is also a matter of extraordinary personal taste. That said, we thought the pairings at Noma Tokyo and Celler de Can Rocas were extraordinary. Fujiya, EMP and Noma Copenhagen we ordered some over the top bottles. It was a different experience. So on the wine pairing I'd say maybe not quite on par.
Issue 3: Basically you are asking if their three stars is on par with the three stars of others. I'll say this: I think the marginal difference between a 1 star and a 2 star restaurant is pretty big but between 2 and 3 is much more subtle. So is the Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare on the level of 2 or 3 stars? Yes I'd say it is.
RJ Cooper
I believe it was a famous chef from the midwest that said "the rules have changed" when Brooklyn Fare was awarded 3 stars
I've long been dying to judge for myself whether Brooklyn Fare is worthy of 3*, but I won't go because I'm Asian.
"Why César Ramirez Needs to Address the Claims of Racism at Brooklyn Fare [updated]" by Hugh Merwin on grubstreet.com
I have no idea whether the allegations are true, but I'm not going to take the risk of an inferior meal while paying $300.

Paulo Coelho is a worldwide phenomenon. At a time when he is coming up to the fantastic achievement of 100 million copies sold worldwide across all his books, his fans will be delighted with the first ever official biography of Paulo, an in-depth look at his life and work, and what makes him the much-loved author he is today. Paulo's first official biographer, Fernando Morais, provides an exhaustive look at Paulo's fascinating and varied life, taking several years to research his subject, and interviewing everyone who knows Paulo. He weaves together the strands of Paulo's life, revealing the man behind the world-famous writer. Paulo Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in August 1947.
Before he became internationally known and a worldwide bestseller, he had to overcome many obstacles. As a teenager, he was subjected to the brutality of electric shock treatment in the psychiatric hospital where his parents, who took his rebelliousness as a sign of madness, interned him three times. As a member of the esoteric underworld, he was put in prison for alleged subversive activities against the Brazilian dictatorship and subjected to physical torture.
Later, Paulo joined forces with rock star Raul Seixas and together they composed songs that revolutionized Brazilian rock music. Hippie, journalist, rock star, actor, playwright, theatre director and producer of television programs, this whirlwind life came to an end in 1982, during a trip to Europe. In Dachau and later in Amsterdam, Paulo had a mystical meeting with "J", his new mentor, who persuaded him to walk the Road to Santiago de Compostela, a medieval pilgrim's route between France and Spain. In 1986 Paulo walked the Road to Santiago, and it was there that he reconverted to Christianity and found again the faith bequeathed to him by the Jesuit fathers of his school years. He would later describe this experience in his first book, The Pilgrimage. The following year, The Alchemist, established his worldwide reputation. The novel has already achieved the status of a universally admired modern classic. Now, for the first time, discover the true story of the man behind some of the world's most loved books."

'It's your house now:' Kentucky man and cousin face federal charges in US Capitol riot
Kala Kachmar
UPDATE: Man who sought to 'occupy' the Capitol during Jan. 6 riot will go to jail
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Kentucky man and his cousin accused of joining the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot that killed five people are facing federal charges, according to court records.
Robert L. Bauer, of Cave City, and his cousin, Edward Hemenway of Winchester, Virginia, have pleaded not guilty to knowingly entering a restricted building or grounds and picketing or demonstrating on Capitol grounds. They appeared in federal court Friday in Bowling Green.
Penalties for the trespassing charge carry up to 10 years in prison if significant bodily injury resulted or if the individual used or carried a dangerous weapon or firearm during the offense.
Charges are being filed against hundreds of protesters in the wake of the Jan. 6 riots spurred on by President Donald Trump, who has been impeached on a charge of insurrection for provoking the mob to contest Congress' certification of the presidential electoral vote.
According to the complaint, the FBI received an anonymous tip that Robert "Bobby" Bauer and his wife, Jenny, were at the Capital riots.
In separate interviews with the FBI, both Bauer and Hemenway said they walked down Pennsylvania Avenue with a crowd of people from the rally.
In Kentucky:Capitol closed Sunday after 'domestic terror threats' across US
When they arrived at the Capitol grounds, Bauer's wife refused to go in and went back to the hotel room, while Bauer and Hemenway went inside, according to the complaint. She hasn't been charged.
Hemenway described seeing a giant "Do not enter" sign and hearing a bang as he walked into the building, according to the complaint.
Bauer and Hemenway told the FBI after rushing into the building with the crowd, one Capitol Police officer greeted them with a hug and handshake and told them, "It's your house now," according to the complaint.
Bauer told the FBI he "believed that the policeman was acting out of fear," the complaint said.
Angry crowd enters US Capitol
Photos taken on Bauer's phone show the two men inside the Capitol, and at some point in the Crypt, or basement, of the building. In one photo, they're seen giving the middle finger.
In a video from Bauer's phone obtained by the FBI, Bauer is in the Capitol chanting, "Our house! Our house!" with a large crowd behind him.
Bauer, in his police interview, said he went into the Capitol to "occupy the space" and had no intention of assaulting law enforcement or hurting anyone.
He said people in the crowd were angry about alleged pedophile officials (a debunked conspiracy theory) and losing their businesses during the pandemic lockdown, according to the complaint.
Bauer said he left the building around 3 p.m., and Hemmenway left around 3:30 p.m., the complaint said.
Related:Kentucky's US attorneys pledge to prosecute Capitol rioters
Hemmenway told the FBI he entered the Capitol out of "curiosity" and "stupidity." He said he knew Congress was certifying the Electoral College vote but didn't know Congress was in session that day.
He said he knows being in the Capitol under those circumstances was wrong.
More charges are expected as U.S. attorneys across the nation have promised to vigorously prosecute rioters.
Louisville man fears arrest after Capitol riot
In Louisville, a man told WDRB News he was afraid of being arrested after he was captured on video leading at least 100 rioters past Capitol Police officers and into the hallway of the House chamber.
Damon Beckley, 52, is seen on a Jan. 6 video taken by another protester, Jayden X, who filmed his trip through the Capitol to reach the door of the House.
About 23 minutes into the video, Beckley, wearing a "Trump" beanie, a black cap and tan hood, can be seen standing with at least 100 angry protesters in Statuary Hall.
They stood before five officers who were trying to block off the hallway leading to the chamber, with about 10 more farther down the hall.
For several minutes, Beckley — at one point with a small, red bullhorn — tried to quiet and calm the crowd, the video showed.
"Everybody needs to calm down," Beckley yelled repeatedly.
"We can go into this room if we all calm down. And if we commit to no violence, OK?" he said through the bullhorn.

At one point, a man wearing an winter hat started screaming and heckling officers. Some also chanted, "We want Trump."
Only a few minutes passed before the crowd, including Beckley, became unruly and pushed about 15 Capitol Police officers backward. Seconds later, he was at the front of the crowd brushed up against the House chamber door.
In an interview with WDRB News on Thursday, Beckley said he regrets his decision to go inside the Capitol, though he said he didn't hit anyone and he tried to help people to get out. He also said he only went in to check on a friend.
Beckley said he deleted Facebook and removed the SIM card from his phone out of fear the FBI could soon arrest and charge him, WDRB reported.
The Courier Journal obtained video of Beckley speaking outside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's Louisville home Jan. 2. He was there with a group he founded, D.C. Under Seige, to protest McConnell accepting the election results, despite there being no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
Beshear:What happened at the US Capitol won't be allowed here
He told a small crowd he would be attending the Trump rally in Washington, D.C.
"They're not going to change corruption just 'cause we're out here hollering about it. We're going to have to go in there and pull these people out because they're not just going to leave, OK?" he said, referring to politicians.
The next week, minutes after he exited the Capitol, Beckley gave an interview that went viral.
"We're not putting up with this tyrannical rule. If we're going to come back here and start a revolution and take all of these traitors out, which is what should be done, then we will!"
Beckley later told WDRB News he meant retribution should happen in the ballot box.
