Moda 430Ti/4520 is an alternative to Moda 430/4016 with better formability and weldability for stamping, drawability applications, and complex shapes. It is a medium-chromium ferritic stainless steel that can be used in many mildly corrosive environments. Because of its titanium alloying, Moda 430Ti/4520 can be welded in all dimensions without becoming susceptible to intergranular corrosion. It is possible to use Moda 430Ti/4520 at elevated temperatures, like for instance in the cold end of automotive exhaust systems.
Moda 430Ti/4520 has good corrosion resistance in solutions of many halogen-free organic and inorganic compounds over a wide temperature and concentration range. It can withstand many sufficiently diluted organic and mineral acids depending on the temperature and concentration of the solution. Moda 430Ti/4520 may suffer from uniform corrosion in strong organic and mineral acids, as well as in hot concentrated alkaline solutions.
In aqueous solutions containing halogenides, e.g. chlorides or bromides, pitting and crevice corrosion may occur depending on the halogenide concentration, temperature, pH-value, concentration of oxidizing compounds, and crevice geometry, if applicable. For a short period of time, for instance during cooking of food in stainless steel dishes, Moda 430Ti/4520 can tolerate even relatively high chloride concentrations. The presence of corrosion-inhibiting or accelerating compounds like e.g. transition metal ions or organic compounds may influence the corrosion behavior of Moda 430Ti/4520. Due to its ferritic crystal structure, Moda 430Ti/4520 is not prone to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking.
Moda 430Ti/4520 can be used for indoor applications in rural areas and urban environments where chloride contamination is low. The best material performance is usually reached with the help of adequate design, correct post-weld treatment, and regular cleaning during use (if applicable).
Due to its titanium content, the risk of sensitization to intergranular corrosion is strongly reduced when compared to non-stabilized ferritic grades. Moda 430Ti/4520 can be used in the temperature range in which chromium carbides would precipitate in non-stabilized ferritic grades. Its maximum service temperature in dry air is 800 °C. The presence of other corrosive compounds in the hot environment, like water or sulfur compounds, may reduce the maximum service temperature significantly.


Woody Guthrie's birthday was last week — July 14 — he would have been 101 years old. Meant to celebrate it then, but better late than ever.
One of my favorites of Woody's songs is "Holy Ground," written in 1954.
If we treated every spot, every little inch, every grain of dirt as holy ground — every person as a holy person — every moment as a holy moment — would it help guide us in the ways of compassion? I believe it would.

CD Review: Jennifer Leitham's "Mood(S)wings"
Jennifer Leitham is a true seeker, a southpaw bassist supreme, fearless songwriter, and a jazz master to be reckoned with. Her new album MOOD(S)WINGS is a lush and beautiful musical tapestry that crosses mainstream pop and jazz with an introspective brilliance that places her in a class all by herself. Her music continues to give many (including myself) hope that jazz is far from dead and that there are plenty of incredible artists who are constantly redefining themselves and delivering lively yet powerful new musical statements all of the time.
Leitham has already earned legendary status, having recorded and performed with such jazz giants as Ed Shaughnessy, Bill Watrous, Mel Torme, and Peggy Lee, to name just a few.
MOOD(S)WINGS is one of the hippest jazz "crossover" albums to surface in many years. You don't ever get the feeling that Leitham is "selling out." Just the opposite; she is flexing her mighty musical muscles and showcasing her incredible dynamics on this wonderfully energetic project. Leitham's virtuosic bass skills, added with her warm vocals, sly lyrics and masterful trio (Andy Langham on piano and Randy Drake on drums) create a delightfully distinct mood within each composition.
Jennifer Leitham
Only Leitham and her trio could cover Clare Fischer's "Cascade Of The Seven Waterfalls," The Beatles' "You Won't See Me" and Oscar Pettiford's "Tricotism" all on the same album and present it in a way that makes perfect sense as well as making it sound both fresh and beautiful.
Andy Langham's fluid and thematic piano playing serves each composition perfectly and Randy Drake's subtle bop-influenced drumming beautifully accentuates every carefully delivered phrase from Leitham's vocals and bass. Jazz trios have often been dismissed by critics as being "background" music, but Leitham's trio proves this to be far from the truth. "Glad Tidings" (written by and guest starring guitarist Jamie Findlay) is a perfect example of this, and its energy is infectious. It sounds as if Leitham, Langham, and Drake have been playing together all of their lives but still continue to push each other to greater heights.
Leitham proves to be a true poetess with a songwriting style as unique as her bass playing and composing. On original compositions such as "Riverside Romp," "Don't You Ever" and "My Heart Had Wings," Leitham's lyrics are sweet, anguished, and contemplative, all at once . Jeff Linsky's ukulele accompaniment on "Don't You Ever" is thoughtful and precise. "The Masquerade Is Over" features some of Leitham's warmest and most heartfelt vocals.
She is an artist constantly on the move; listening, playing, watching, and always growing. The trio's sound has a potent yet elegant swing to it that is immediately identifiable. There's also a genuine sense of vulnerability throughout the album – a place where most musicians of all musical genres often fear to explore so freely. Finally, Leitham's unique upright bass style rivals that of such iconic bassists as Paul Chambers, Ron Carter, and Oscar Pettiford. Yes, she's that great.
MOOD(S)WINGS is Leitham's most adventurous and explorative album to date and to be enjoyed by music lovers of all genres. This is one of the finest "crossover" albums I've heard in many years. Do not miss out on this gem.

The Rich Are Different: Buying Access to the President. » « Sunday Facepalm.
Right Now, Trump Is…
From a Native American's perspective, Trump is acting more like the Founding Fathers than Hitler.
Donald J. Trump has been called a lot of things. A bigot. A misogynist. A racist.
And I agree with these descriptions of the new president. He's earned those titles, especially given all he has spewed over the decades about women and racial minorities, and just about anyone he disagrees with, or who disagree with him.
But Mr. Trump is also unoriginal.
Many of the controversial policies and plans he's setting into motion have already been executed in this country.
Mr. Trump has vowed to evict millions of undocumented individuals. Brown folks, mostly.
But, of course, this wouldn't be the first time a sitting U.S. president would forcibly and eagerly evict the indigenous peoples of this continent from their homes.
One of the first of such evictions in this country's shady history occurred in the 19th century, back in 1830, when president Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, which coercively extirpated thousands of Native Americans from their ancestral homelands.
The brutal act prompted the "Trail of Tears," a vicious campaign that resulted in a forced westward march of men, women, and children through ice, snow, and freezing temperatures. More than four thousand Native Americans died during that rotten trudge.
"But Mexicans aren't Indians," a white man recently said to me at an eatery on the north side of Denver, Colorado, during an impromptu discussion on Trump's unoriginality.
"Yes, we are," I responded. I told the wiggy stranger that I'm an enrolled citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation and Chicano.
"What's that?" he asked. "'… Ohg' what?"
"Never mind," I said. "All you need to know is that the only tangible thing that separates Mexicans and Native Americans is the border your people imposed on us."
It wasn't long before John wanted to talk about "those Muslims," as he oft referred to the Islamic community throughout our debate.
Along with a ban, Mr. Trump has said he would "absolutely" require Muslims to be registered into a database.
"I'm on a database," I told John.
"Really? Are you some sexual predator?"
"No," I said. "It's an old list the U.S. set up for people of color."
I segued back to the topic of Mr. Trump's unoriginality.
I told John about the Indian Census Rolls, which were first established in 1885 and meant to count Native Americans like cattle, keep tabs on the people the U.S. considered a threat to white Christians.
But, for Native Americans, the white Christian was the clear and present danger. Not us.
"The Indian Census Rolls were put there to make white people feel safe," I told John. "And that's what Donald Trump is trying to do here. This is nothing new."
John quaffed the last of his Gin, told me to "look out, here he comes," (meaning Trump), patted me on my back in that condescending way, and then staggered out of the joint.
I've got to give John one thing, though, about Mr. Trump: here he comes and here he is. The electoral college made sure of that, even though Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by leaps and bounds.
Right. Mr. Trump's slither into the Oval Office is an incontrovertible threat to a lot of people, and even the planet, but for Native Americans, we know how this story will play out – because we were documented. We were evicted. In this country. And all of it was motivated by that savage thing called discrimination.
Even Mr. Trump's promise of building a wall along the Mexican border is unoriginal. Long ago, this country built a de facto wall, a divide, as it were – they are commonly known today as Indian reservations.
People tend to talk about Indian reservations without inquiring about their genesis. They were founded as prison camps, and they were even numerated. The Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, for example, is Prisoner of War Camp Number 334. These prison camps were meant to isolate Native Americans, far from white society, where we were expected to starve and die.
I'm aware this sounds eerily similar to Adolf Hitler and the Jewish Holocaust, but it should since Hitler himself was inspired by the Indian reservation system and lauded it for its "efficiency of America's extermination—by starvation and uneven combat—of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity," wrote Hitler biographer John. T. Toland.
If you want to know what the next four (or even possibly eight) years will look like, just ask an Indian – or Native American – whatever. We can tell you all about racist lists and forced evictions and walls.
No, Mr. Trump isn't acting like Hitler. He's acting like the founders of this nation. Bigots. Misogynists. Racists. Know your history.
I can never add anything to what Simon Moya-Smith writes, he says it all. The full article is at Indian Country Media Network.

Marcus Ranum says
It's not enough for totalitarians to rule and be feared; they want to be loved for it.
"Why do you hate America?"
"For all the right reasons."
Caine says
Susannah says
"All you need to know is that the only tangible thing that separates Mexicans and Native Americans is the border your people imposed on us."
Yes! It's about time somebody said this!
AlexanderZ says
A tiny caveat: Hitler was never inspired by the genocide of the Native Americans nor had he any knowledge of America in general and USA in particular beyond what he saw in popular movies of the time. And even that barely, since he wasn't much of a movie goer.
chigau (ever-elliptical) says
Hitler was a big fan of Karl May.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_May#Influence
chigau #5
Karl May was pop culture and the basis for many popular movies of the time. His works were complete fantasy and didn't have enough fact to inform anyone regard Native Americans, for good and for bad.
AlexanderZ #4
His story-lines were complete fantasy, but there was nothing wrong with his grasp of the technology.
anecdotal, but the best flint-knappers and arrow-fletchers I've ever met (other than my household) are Karl May cultists.
Charly says
This is tangential, I hope Caine will not mind:
I am not "Karl May cultist" but I like his books and I read a lot of them. He does not condone the treatment of Indians by US government (quite the opposite) and he does not write in detail about the technicalities of it, like reservations. Many of the villains are those who steal Indian territory, and mostly they are private enterpreneurs seeking to enrich themselves. I am not aware of any book where the villains are government officials, however it is alluded to government policies that encourage said enterpreneurs to invade and steal Indian land.
I have always been puzzled about how Hitler could find Mays books inspirational. To be sure, they do contain a lot of racism and german patriotism and nationalism (a lot, almost all, of the positive heroes are German immigrants), but for their time they are relatively advanced in this regard. For example it is stated more than just a few times that the differences between people of different colors are cultural, not essential, that all human life is of equal value and all people have potential for greatness. The main protagonist of the books makes often a point of not shooting to kill, regardles of what color his opponent is. Many of the books are about trying to resolve conflicts peacefully, tactics is used to not exterminate the opponents but to force them to negotiate etc. This is often one of the points of the plot -- that conflict is bad and that indians are getting the wrong end of the stick handed to them.
I find it plausible that Hitler got some inspiration for concentration camps from the reservation system used in USA. But the technicalities of it he did not learn from Karl May books.
https://indiancountrymedianetwork.com/history/events/ugly-precursor-to-auschwitz-hitler-said-to-have-been-inspired-by-us-indian-reservation-system/
Left, Nazis stand before a mass grave of victims of the Jewish Holocaust; right: U.S. soldiers pose for a picture near a mass grave of dead Lakotas following the Wounded Knee Massacre of December 29, 1890.
There are many sources about Hitler's fascination with May's books, and several parts of unsavory American history, including that of Hitler himself, and his closest compatriots. With that, let's stop here. Alexander, if you don't want to believe this, that's fine, no one is forcing you. That said, you cannot definitively deny a connection, because you don't have anything to back that up. If you looked, you could spend ages of time on one history board after another, and all the discussions on this particular subject could keep you buried for a year or two.
Caine #9
Here is the Katyn Massacre picture. Note the similarities. It's almost as if any culture that commits genocides, traditionally buries the dead and has access to black and white cameras ends with the same photo. If you don't believe me do a google image search for "[insert country name] mass grave".
Besides, to have those two pictures be any relevant to this discussion at all Hitler either have to have been personally supervising that mass grave digging, and/or had a specific directive regarding such matters. Neither of which is true.
That said, you cannot definitively deny a connection, because you don't have anything to back that up.
That doesn't work that way! If you make a claim you have to back it up. And before you say that you did back it, let me stop you right there and say that John Toland was not an academic historian and he published his works without any peer review. He didn't even have a degree in history -- he preferred literature and theatre. He's just some amateur who became famous. Citing him is no different than citing ID for evolutionary biology or quoting William Happer on climate change.
If you want to support your claim find a body of evidence (i.e. anything more than one quote by one author) or at least one actual WW2 historian that supports it.
I'm being pissed because this is a distorted reposting of PZ's awful post. Both link to ICMN articles penned by the same person (Simon Moya-Smith) that quote the same JewishJournal article that was based entirely on Toland's quote.
I say "was" because, amusingly enough, between 2015 and 2017 that JJ link got broken and Moya-Smith didn't bother to check whether the link still works.
(The last working snapshot of the JJ article dates to 22.11.2016)

Who Puts Women, Children, and Candy-O First
After roughly a year delivering newspapers starting in 1977, and then a few months with my buddy Gary cleaning a downtown law office in late 1978, I got my first "real" job in 1979 at the age of 15. I was hired as a ticket-taker/usher at the Orpheum movie theater in Ogden, Utah, thanks to the fact that Les, the 18-year-old manager, had been one of my mom-the-teacher's students in junior high. Utah law at the time allowed kids to obtain a motorcycle license at 15, even though normal driver's licenses were not issued until the age of 16. With my little Suzuki 125 and my $2.47 hourly wage, I was freer than ever to indulge my growing musical obsession.
(While the U.S. federal minimum wage in 1979 was $2.90 per hour, the theater only had to pay me a wage equal to 85 percent of the minimum because I was a full-time student and worked only 20 hours per week.)
There was nothing esoteric about my musical tastes when I first began working at the Orpheum. Besides a backwards-looking appreciation for Elvis and The Beatles, I otherwise shared my peers' love for Rush, Kansas, Queen, Aerosmith, and other such "mainstream" hard rockers. I also remained a big KISS fan, although by 1979 that particular proclivity was safely closeted away (as I've written about here). By the time some big corporation bought the Orpheum 18 months later and I went on to new minimum-wage adventures, my aural horizons had expanded considerably. This was mainly thanks to 21-year-old Orpheum co-manager, professional drummer, and coincidentally my down-the-street neighbor, Rick. I've posted previously about Rick's generosity in hipping me to the various offerings of guitar hero Ronnie Montrose, but I also have to thank him for Be Bop Deluxe, Tommy Bolin, and Al DiMeola, among many others.
Beyond introducing me to new recorded music however, Rick also served as my initial guide to the joyous world of rock concerts. Our first shared concert-related experience came soon after we learned that The Who would be playing Salt Lake City in late April 1980. This was The Who's second tour following the death of original drummer extraordinaire Keith Moon and, besides a few new songs recorded for the soundtrack of the Quadrophenia movie, the band had not put out any new music since 1978 album Who Are You, on which Moon had played. Given the dearth of new music, there was a sense that the 1980 tour could be the group's last and as a result demand for tickets was high.
To ensure we got tickets the morning they went on sale, Rick suggested we grab sleeping bags and warm clothes and camp out overnight in front of the only announced ticket vendor in Ogden, a proposal accepted enthusiastically. It was thus that we ended up huddled together with about 30 other nut cases in front of the now defunct Toad Tape record store through a cold-as-hell Utah winter's night in the last week of March 1980.
Between our 9:PM arrival and the 9:AM store opening the next day, we were treated to both a dusting of snow and regular visits from "concerned" Ogden City police officers who just wanted to ensure none of us died of exposure. (The repeated ID checks and warrantless rousting of our pockets to check for drugs were simply for our own protection, of course.)
Ill prepared for the plunging temperature, and considerately reminded by the caring coppers that sleeping on a public sidewalk was illegal, we dedicated Who fans sought any distraction we could find to take our minds off our exhaustion, discomfort, and impending hypothermia. Luckily, one among the crowd had a portable tape deck and an extensive collection of two(!) tapes that got played over and over again, providing a welcome rhythm to which we were able to sync the chattering of our teeth. Although both tapes were new to me at the time, they contained excellent music that I dug then and have continued to dig in the intervening years.
The first tape played by our de facto entertainment coordinator was Van Halen's brand new album Women and Children First, which had just been released that very week. I had been a Van Halen fan since their first self-titled record came out in 1978, accompanied by rampant, if ridiculous, rumors among my junior high pals that the band was actually KISS without makeup. Brushing wet snow off my sleeping bag in front of Toad Tape, I was struck by how much heavier Women and Children First sounded than the band's first two LPs. The songs seemed to have more of a bottom end and to be denser than previous VH tunes. In fact, the new sound fit that cold winter night perfectly as it was easy to envision Eddie Van Halen's muscular guitar riffing as the soundtrack to a hopped-up, heavy-duty snowplow pushing its way through huge snow drifts on some isolated Alaskan highway. I clearly remember experiencing "Romeo Delight" as one of the hardest rocking songs I had ever heard.
Women and Children First would again etch itself onto my frontal lobes two years later when the album happened to be playing in the background when, as a high school senior, I caught an inadvertent glimpse (or two or three) of my super fox neighbor Shelly's pubes peeking out of her tight cheerleader panties during a senior-class-only sleepover in the school gym. It's truly amazing how accompanying music can burn itself so deeply into the fabric of a memory…
Romeo Delight: https://victimofthefury.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/04-romeo-delight.mp3
In best Monty Python tradition, our musical director's second offering was something completely different; Candy-O, the sophomore album by The Cars. As removed from the hard rock riffing of Van Halen as one could get and still be in Top 40 radio territory, The Cars' new wave pop rock was not the kind of music a proud heavy rocker would champion in 1980. Said heavy rock purist would more likely defer such "light" fare to his younger sisters and their bubblegum tastes.
A wintry night with no other options on the menu can lead a music snob to get off the high horse however, and via repeated listenings to Candy-O there on the frozen cement, I was shocked to discover that awesome guitar skills were not the sole purview of the long hairs. I discovered an album drenched with sweet electric axe workouts; the fact that they were tucked within what then sounded like jittery keyboard chirps and cheery non-Levi's-wearing robot grooves did not diminish their weight. I was flabbergasted; The Cars were a guitar band!
I bought Candy-O and The Cars' self-titled first album within a couple weeks of the Who camp-out, and owned a stolen cassette copy of third Cars' album Panorama soon afterward (thanks to childhood friend Gary who, in hindsight, seems to have had a habit of bequeathing me stolen tunes). Seeing the Candy-O album cover upon making my purchase was just a happy fringe benefit.
Candy-O:https://victimofthefury.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/06-candy-o.mp3
In the end, The Who unexpectedly turned out not to be my first ever rock concert. When we finally got to the counter inside Toad Tape after our all-night vigil, Rick pointed to a poster behind the cashier and suggested that we buy tickets for both The Who and some guy named Robin Trower that I'd never heard of. Trower's Salt Lake City stop on his Victims of the Fury (!!) tour was to take place a couple of weeks before the The Who show, so Mr. Trower would end up breaking my concert-going cherry. But that 33-year, 26-album, four-live-show spanning story is for another post, as is the glorious tale of the eventual Who concert itself.

Great story and the picture from The Shining made me laugh out loud.
Much appreciate it, and yeah, I searched "freezing cold" and about busted a gut myself when that was one of the first images to come up.
Taking advantage of your comment and knowing you are a fan from the early days, I was wondering if you've heard the new Alice in Chains album and if so, what you think of it? I haven't listened to any of it but am intrigued.
No, I haven't heard it yet.

What a cool stroll down Nostalgia Lane!
I hope I'm not being too intrusive regarding your AIC question, but I feel their new album is a bit of a disappointment, with lots of rehashed riffs and clichéd structures. It still has that quintessential AIC slow-paced heaviness and I have no complaints with the vocals (I'm not one of those Layne-to-the-end fans – I loved 'Black Gives Way to Blue'), but the album just isn't as exciting as their past exploits.
Not intrusive at all, man. I appreciate the insight. There's so much on my "to buy" list already and I'm having a hard time deciding whether to add 'Dinosaurs.' Based on your comment, I think what I probably need to do is stream it a few times before making a call.

Smithstix was the outlet for tickets for the Grateful Dead concert in Salt Lake. We drove all the way to St. George because we figured the Smith's there would have no line. We, too, slept on the sidewalk. In pouring rain as it turned out. Sure enough there was no line so we had our choice of seats and chose the front row. We ended up sitting, standing, actually, in front of a fifteen foot high bank of bass speakers and hated the concert. We never made out a single lyric and could barely see the musicians. Something about the best laid plans….

I really enjoyed that. I've spent the night in doorways in London several times (unbeknown to my parents) to see bands so i can well sympathise with the chattering teeth.
WACF is funnily enough the only Van Halen LP I like and I've always loved The Cars, perfect guitar pop really.
I love the way certain LPs can take you back to a time/place/feeling instantly – like Proust but with guitar solos.
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Headbangers be cultured, bro!
""No sooner had (insert record here) touched my (ears) than a shudder ran through me and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary thing that was happening to me. An exquisite pleasure had invaded my senses, something isolated, detached, with no suggestion of its origin. And at once the vicissitudes of life had become indifferent to me, its disasters innocuous, its brevity illusory – this new sensation having had on me the effect which love has of filling me with a precious essence; or rather this essence was not in me it was me. … ""
— Proust, baby!!!
Any post that manages to embrace guitar rock, Monty Python and Marcel Proust is in a class of its own.
Great story, beautifully written.
Ahh, cheers mate!

Are Triathletes Tougher Than You?
Study finds multi-sport athletes feel less pain than casual exercisers.
What makes an athlete tough? A willingness to suffer? The ability to block pain? Or the cumulative effects of hard workouts that callous the body and mind?
Earlier this week, we reported on a study linking confidence and concentration to toughness. Now, a study out of Israel suggests that a higher pain threshold helps athletes endure multi-hour feats.
Researchers at Tel Aviv University recruited 19 triathletesand 17 non-athletes. The triathletes—individuals who did at least two triathlons a year—included Ironman competitors, and the non-athletes ran, swam, or did other forms of exercise to stay fit, but did not compete in races.
All participants underwent a battery of pain tests, including one that in involved applying a heating device to their arm while submerging the other arm in cold water. Participants also answered a questionnaire on pain perception, fear of pain and perceived stress.
During the tests, the triathletes identified pain just as well as non-athletes, but displayed greater tolerance for it, leading researchers to conclude that one reason triathletes can perform at high levels is because they feel less pain than casual exercisers.
"In our study, triathletes rated pain lower in intensity, tolerated it longer, and inhibited it better than individuals in a control group," says lead researcher Ruth Defrin, Ph.D., a professor in the department of physical therapy at Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine.
The findings add to previous research connecting greater pain tolerance to endurance sports.
Defrin attributes the lower pain perception in her study to both physiological and psychological factors. It's unclear, though, if the athletes do triathlons because they feel less pain, or if they experience less pain because they train for and compete in triathlons.
"It is very difficult to separate physiology and psychology," says Defrin. "But in general, experience is the sum of these factors."

Amendment Extends FOIA Exemptions to GSEs Share May 9, 2017 734 Views The U.S. House of Representatives has passed an amendment that extends the nine exemptions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.Sponsored by Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Georgia), the bill amends HR 1694, a law passed in late April. HR 1694 requires Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to comply with all requirements of FOIA. Previously, the two government-sponsored enterprises were exempt from the law, because they did not qualify as federal agencies.With the passage of the new amendment, Fannie and Freddie will not have to disclose any information under FOIA's nine exemptions, which include documents classified as secret; information solely related to personnel; trade secrets; privileged inter-agency letters; medical releases; information compiled for law enforcement purposes; and more.According to Johnson, the amendment helps ensure the privacy and safety of GSE employees and American borrowers."By passing this amendment, we will ensure that personal privacy and sensitive information is appropriately protected, while ensuring the highest level of transparency for the American taxpayers, who have invested almost $187 billion in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac," Johnson said.HR 1694 was passed in late April. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the new law will require the entities to accept, process, and satisfy all FOIA requests from the public as long as they are under conservatorship. The CBO estimates that this uptick in administrative duties will increase costs by about $10 million over the next 10 years. The CBO noted that each entity would need to hire new staff and its expand its data processing abilities.This is the second time issues of communication privacy have come up this week. On Monday, Buzzfeed published a letter from Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), the Chairman of the Financial Services Committee, to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. In the letter, Hensarling announced the committee's intention to retain control of all communication between the two agencies, saying they qualified as "congressional records.""All such documents and communications constitute congressional records not 'agency records' for purposes of the Freedom of Information Act, and remain subject to congressional control even when in the physical possession of the" agency, Hensarling wrote.The Freedom of Information Act was passed in 1967, giving any American the right to request records from a federal agency.

COMFORTABLY PURPLE
David Gilmour Honors Prince: Gorgeous Mashup of 'Purple Rain' and 'Comfortably Numb'
Pink Floyd's famed guitarist honored the late guitar hero Sunday evening by mashing up their legendary solos.
Andrew Kirell
Following Prince's untimely death at the age of 57 last Thursday, dozens of his peers have taken to the stage to pay tribute to the fallen artist. David Gilmour's soaring mashup stands out as one of the best.
Bathed in purple light on Sunday evening at London's Royal Albert Hall, the iconic guitarist-singer closed out the gig with a stunning combination of his Pink Floyd classic "Comfortably Numb" and Prince's "Purple Rain"—a guitar-centric tribute from one Guitar God to another.
As the band entered the final solo of Gilmour's live staple "Numb," they seamlessly transitioned into Prince's legendary album-closing "Purple Rain" solo, complete with the backing trio of vocalists singing the "Ooh" refrain.
The tribute solo-blend represented a departure from Gilmour's rigidly structured Rattle That Lock tour setlist, which includes a variety of Pink Floyd classics and latter-day material mixed in with songs from the guitarist's two most recent solo albums.
Other premier musicians to introduce Prince tributes over the weekend included Bruce Springsteen's "Purple Rain" cover to open his Saturday night Brooklyn show; Elton John's monologue honoring the late artist during his Vegas set; Stevie Wonder's version of "Purple Rain" on CBS This Morning; and Sufjan Stevens's rendition of the same classic song during his Coachella gig.
Gilmour previously covered "Purple Rain" back in 1992 when he provided lead guitar for Tom Jones's The Right Time ITV television mini-series.

BEIJING — China's scramble to curb pollution has made it the world leader in renewable energy development, yet increasing amounts of that green electricity have gone unused as the country struggles to integrate wind and solar power into an outdated and balkanized electricity network dominated by coal.
The problem threatens to slow China's progress in clearing its air and controlling the greenhouse gas emissions that make it the top contributor to climate change. It also runs counter to a desire by Chinese leaders to fill the leadership gap left by President Donald Trump's move to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate accord.
As international energy ministers gather in Beijing this week to promote renewables, China's difficulty maximizing its green resources underscores uncertainty over how best to transition to cleaner electricity.
"They installed too much too fast," said Qiao Liming, China director for the Global Wind Energy Council. "A real market should allow electricity to flow between two provinces. That is currently lacking" in China, she said.
Thousands of new wind turbines and solar panels were installed in China's remote provinces over the past several years as the country's leaders sought to alleviate choking urban smog without slowing economic expansion. China now has more renewable power capacity than any other nation.
Two nagging problems have dampened that success, however, according to industry representatives and outside observers: China's sprawling power grid has been unable to handle the influx of new electricity from wind and solar, while some provincial officials have retained a preference for coal.
In western China's Gansu province, 43 percent of energy from wind went unused in 2016, a phenomenon known in the energy industry as "curtailment." In the neighboring Xinjiang region, the curtailment figure was 38 percent and in northeast China's Jilin province it was 30 percent. The nationwide figure, 17 percent, was described by Qiao's organization as "shockingly high" after increasing for several years in a row.
The problem has shown some signs of improvement this year, according to the China Electricity Council. Power demand in general increased in the first quarter, giving a boost to renewables after the economy regained momentum from 2016's slowdown.
However, experts say wasted energy will continue to be a drag on Chinese renewable power potential until the country's electrical grid is modernized and provincial officials end their preference for coal, which provides almost two-thirds of the country's energy.
The problem is worst in winter, when many coal plants provide electricity for the power grid and send out excess heat to keep homes and businesses warm.
That's led provincial officials to keep coal plants running — and to reject available wind-generated electricity — despite pressure from the central government to use more renewables, said Lu Xi, a professor at Tsinghua University's School of Environment in Beijing.
"On paper they express quite clear attitudes to promote renewables, but in reality they promote coal interests," said Frank Yu, a renewables specialist with the consulting firm Wood Mackenzie.
To help address the issue, China's National Energy Administration has pushed for more wind turbines to be installed closer to Beijing and coastal cities, where demand is highest. That should allow renewable energy to bypass part of the dated transmission system that's been blamed for impeding its use. It also would give more populated provinces a greater stake in making sure renewables get used.
In a separate effort, at this week's energy ministers meeting in Beijing, Chinese officials are expected to launch a campaign to make its power supply system more flexible. The goal is to create a power grid that can more easily absorb the highs and lows associated with weather-dependent wind and solar electricity, said Christian Zinglersen, the head of the Clean Energy Ministerial, which is hosting the meeting.
Still, the problem of electricity going unused could get worse before it gets better, said Liutong Zhang, a senior manager with the Lantau Group, a Hong Kong-based energy consulting firm. More solar and wind is planned in Chinese provinces that already have more power-generating capacity than they use. Additional coal plants also are slated to come online, Zhang said.
China's difficulties, while more pronounced than in other countries, are not unique. Western countries have experienced their own renewable struggles as utilities tried to integrate weather-dependent wind and solar power into electricity grids built around coal plants, which are more polluting but also more reliable.
But over the next two decades, events in developing nations including China and India are expected to play a magnified role in addressing climate change. The United States, meanwhile, appears headed for a diminished presence as Trump and fellow Republicans back away from the climate policies of former President Barack Obama.
Almost all of the increased electricity demand during that period is expected to come from developing nations, according to projections from the International Energy Administration.
China alone will account for about half the total.
China's struggles to maximize its use of renewables won't necessarily prevent it from meeting international emissions targets that aim to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels. But it will make it much more expensive unless China is able to adapt its power supply system while it's still in development, Zinglersen said.
"This is a case of political leadership catching up with the reality on the ground," he said. "The more flexible a system you can have the more renewables you can allow for."

NEW CASTLE - A former pastor of a Slippery Rock Township church pleaded guilty this week to two counts of possession of child pornography.
No sentencing date has been set for Robert D. Schmidtberger, 52, but prosecutors recommended a sentence of 12 months minus two days to 24 months minus four days with 15 years' probation.
Lawrence County Judge Thomas Piccione, who oversaw the guilty plea, ordered a psychological assessment to determine whether Schmidtberger might be a violent sexual predator.
After his release, Schmidtberger will be required to register with the state police under the provisions of Megan's Law.
State police filed the charges based on information provided by the America Online Internet service, which periodically reviews subscribers' e-mails. A review on March 12, 2005, detected three e-mails that included images that depicted child pornography.
AOL personnel matched the sender's screen name to Schmidtberger and notified the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which contacted the state police.
The address on Schmidtberger's online account, 468 Rose Point Road, was that of Rose Point Reformed Presbyterian Church. That was also listed with the office of Lawrence County District Attorney John Bongivengo as Schmidtberger's home address.
The district attorney's office reported that, at the time charges were filed in 2005, Rose Point Reformed Presbyterian Church's Web site listed Schmidtberger as its pastor. The church's Web site now lists no pastor and says weekly sermons are given by guest pastors.
A call Thursday afternoon to the church was not returned.
Police searched Schmidtberger's residence and seized computers and other electronic devices. An examination of those devices turned up the images of child pornography on 15 CD-ROMs.
