POLITICO Playbook: What the right gets wrong about Big Tech and the Capitol coup

DRIVING THE DAY
Happy Saturday morning, Playbook readers. I'm KARA SWISHER (or, as I like to be known as, NOT BEN SHAPIRO), your guest host today.
It's become one of the most irritating aspects of the exceedingly complex issues surrounding the role tech played in the coup last week at the Capitol.
Which is to say, amid all the entirely avoidable destruction, a relentless and bizarre focus by some in the GOP and elsewhere on perhaps the most pointless part of the crisis: Their loss of Twitter followers and gnashing of teeth over censorship by Big Tech.
Since this me-me-also-me crew — led by laughables like Rep. MATT GAETZ (R-Fla.), who seems to live in a permanent state of inaccuracy and way too much hair gel — seems to be persistently unable to read the room, allow me.
1. The most important part of the equation is that, in the case of de-platforming President DONALD TRUMP, tech companies did the right thing in this instance, especially given the tense and dangerous situation that was unfolding at the Capitol.
After years of violations by Trump — especially on Twitter, but also on Facebook and YouTube — that were allowed due to his being "newsworthy" and followed by a weird and ineffective system of labeling, the companies moved quickly after weeks of fallacious election fraud claims escalated to incitement of violence. Along with child pornography and terrorism, this is among the brightest of red lines for these platforms and Trump clearly crossed it.
This was not a First Amendment issue as some like to claim, but a simple case of private companies not wanting to help along an insurrection. Trump deserved what he got and, frankly, his absence has lowered the twitchy and reactive temperature by a lot, at least online. Well done, tech.
2. And yet, while some have described Trump to be the digital arsonist in this case, I would posit that he was only following the rules set for him and it was entirely the fault of the tech companies for giving him the kind of latitude that allowed him to go that far. Like a parent who gives a child endless bowls of sugar and then wonders why their kid is batshit crazy, tech has pretended to be obtuse to the consequences of their products and the choices that have been made about them.
For years I have written that these companies have turned themselves into the digital arms dealers of the Internet age, amplifying and weaponizing everything. They might have cleaned up the Trump mess, but they also made the Trump mess possible by architecting systems that thrive on enragement.
Most of all, they have tried to duck responsibility. I have always been amazed by Facebook CEO and founder MARK ZUCKERBERG'S statement that he did not want to be an "arbiter of the truth." My question for him: Why then did he build a platform that requires it?
A message from the American Petroleum Institute:
Meeting energy needs and tackling climate change isn't either/or. We have to do both. That's why America's natural gas and oil companies are working on climate solutions that will help the U.S. remain the world leader in reducing emissions. Let's make even more progress together.
3. Even more importantly, we must examine the power that these companies wield and how to deal with that going forward. In the case of stifling Trump, it was a good thing and perhaps a one-off — can you imagine there will be another Tweet Mussolini as effective anytime soon? I do not. But while justifiably putting a sock in Trump's toxic pie-hole, they also showed how swiftly they could end whole businesses, as was the case with the right-fave social media platform Parler.
I am the one who did the disastrous interview of its CEO JOHN MATZE, which led in part to this turn of events. And by disastrous, I mean he was arrogant, ill-prepared to answer questions about its moderation at a critical time and truly tone-deaf to legitimate concerns about the way he ran his service and what was allowed to thrive there. It gave others who had power over Parler, like the Apple and Google app stores and, most significantly, its server vendor, Amazon Web Services, ample proof of mismanagement needed to dump Parler.
That said, there is nothing that Parler was doing that companies like Facebook were not guilty of too and in larger measure and for a very long time. While I would not go as far as calling the company a scapegoat, as it did allow its system to be used in dangerous ways, it certainly got a lion's share of the hurt that rained down on tech and that others probably deserved even more.
4. This brings us to the issue at hand: Power. Tech companies have too much of it, but it should be looked at through the lens of market concentration that results in the dampening of innovation needed to inevitably upend the leaders. Such a situation demands substantive and bipartisan action to deal with each company differently and with different remedies, which include fines, enforcement of existing laws, new regulation and, yes, antitrust action. That has already started, which is good, as has a series of dopey attempts to repeal Section 230, which provides broad immunity to digital platforms. What it needs is reform, which will only come when know-nothings like Gaetz hush their exhausting bellyaching and the real legislators sit down and sort it out in a measured way.
ALEX, ALEX, PANTS ON FIRE — Amid all the news that continues to flood the zone, perhaps the story that deserves the most attention is about outgoing Health and Human Services head ALEX AZAR. In this unshockable age, the report from the Washington Post was shocking: that the Trump administration lackey lied to the states about the reserves of Covid-19 vaccines available for new patients. Instead of getting new shipments to expand those getting shots, the cupboard is revealed to be bare beyond those in need of a second dose under the two-shot treatment plan. This happened on the day that it was reported Azar issued his resignation letter (effective Jan. 20), creating yet another mess the Biden administration will have to clean up.
According to the Post: "Nirav Shah, the director of Maine's Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said he learned only Friday, by calling his state's designated contact at Warp Speed, that the reserve no longer existed.
"Maine still plans to broaden vaccination next week to those 70 and older. 'Who is in line will not change,' Shah said. 'The velocity of that line will change because this bolus of doses that we intuited was coming based on Azar's comments is not coming.'"
This is stunning in its incompetence and mendacity. I have done several interviews on this topic for my New York Times Opinion podcast called Sway, including with a pair of married German scientists whose company BioNTech that created the Pfizer vaccine, and also with Dr. MONCEF SLAOUI, the chief scientific adviser for the Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed. Slaoui, the 30-year pharmaceutical industry veteran and registered Democrat, was in a particularly dicey jam, since he did not "want to get into the politics" even though Trump and his team had politicized the federal response to the pandemic beyond recognition.
At one point earlier this year, there was a possibility of also talking to Azar, but I had long thought his inability to answer questions truthfully made any interview worthless on every count. From the stifling of NANCY MESSONNIER, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, after her accurate assessment of how the pandemic would unfold to his rosy take that 100 million doses would be delivered by the end of 2020 to yesterday's appalling departure, he has turned out to be the most damaging member of the Cabinet, given the Covid death toll.
And that is saying a lot.

Why-not-use-a-crisis-to-get-members is the Twitter jam of the other right-leaning platform called Gab, which touts itself as the free-speech wing of the free-speech party. To do so, it posted the most bizarre tweet I have seen in a long while (it feels like an ad to attract users to the site) and then — ding, ding — limited comments. (Where's that popinjay Gaetz to claim censorship when you need him?)
American Thinker did a 180 on what it published about Dominion Voting Systems, the voting machine company that has been the subject of a series of specious conspiracy theories from SIDNEY POWELL, RUDY GIULIANI and Trump. There have been mea culpas from Fox News and others, but American Thinker's took the cake IMHO. I did a podcast with Dominion CEO JOHN POULOS recently and, let me say, it will not be enough to escape the litigation headed its way.
I have two words: Cobra Kai. The hit Netflix series, based on the iconic Karate Kid movies from the 1980s, was first a YouTube Red offering in 2018 and 2019. After the Google unit exited scripted TV, the more popular streaming service picked it up and now it is on fire. I am interviewing its star RALPH MACCHIO this week, so would love any questions sent my way on Twitter [@karaswisher], as long as they are not about the crane move. Also watch it as a gift to yourself in this dire time, as it is surprisingly poignant and complex, as well as very funny. Cobra Kai, never die.

VAX AMERICANA — "Biden warns of challenges ahead as he rolls out new vaccine plan," by Alice Miranda Ollstein, Adam Cancryn and Sarah Owermohle: "The Biden team plans to send vaccines to federally qualified health centers in disadvantaged neighborhoods and wants to set up mass vaccination sites in sports stadiums, community centers and churches. That would provide new outlets for communities that lack hospitals and pharmacies.
"But the administration will still need 'to move heaven and earth' to hit Biden's goal of 100 million vaccinations in the first 100 days, the president-elect said in a speech in Wilmington, Del., Friday afternoon that was calibrated to temper expectations. … Biden's team envisions a billion-dollar national ad campaign … [T]he plan depends on convincing a divided and shellshocked Congress to quickly approve tens of billions more dollars for the effort. State and federal officials are also already grappling with a litany of challenges."
CORONAVIRUS RAGING … National numbers are starting to show a bit of improvement the past few days, and testing is at an all-time high. Still, the U.S. reported 3,679 Covid-19 deaths and 244,000 new coronavirus cases Friday.
STAFFING UP — The Biden transition announced Francis Collins will continue as NIH director. Eric Lander, president of the Broad Institute, will be nominated as director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy and be the presidential science adviser — a position Biden is elevating to the Cabinet level. Alondra Nelson, Kei Koizumi and Narda Jones will also join OSTP, and Frances Arnold and Maria Zuber will be external co-chairs of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
THE LATEST 'WHY I LEFT NEW YORK' … "NRA declares bankruptcy, plans to incorporate in Texas," AP: "The NRA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in federal court in Dallas and said it planned to incorporate in Texas, where records show it formed a limited liability corporation, Sea Girt LLC, in November 2020."
IS MY PILLOW GUY RUNNING THE COUNTRY? … CNN: "MyPillow CEO hints at scrapped plan to replace CIA director with Trump loyalist": "A Trump ally's notes visible as he visited the West Wing on Friday revealed a suggestion to replace the current CIA director with the current acting chief of staff at the Pentagon. But according to multiple sources, it was not the first time the idea was broached inside the White House.
"MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a Republican donor who has informally advised President Donald Trump, was seen leaving the West Wing on Friday carrying pages of notes that appear to outline a series of recommendations. Among those that are visible are the words, 'Move Kash Patel to CIA acting' a reference to the current chief of staff to acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller."
— "Even the Guy the MyPillow CEO Wanted to Enlist for a Coup Is Confused," New York magazine: "In bold at the top [of Lindell's paper] reads: 'Frank Colon as acting National Security.' … Intelligencer spoke with a person fitting that exact description — a cyber attorney based out of Fort Meade — who expressed confusion on Friday afternoon at apparent plans for him to be involved in a coup. This Frank Colon described himself as 'just a government employee who does work for the Army.' He seemed befuddled why he would [be] floated to the president in any senior role and said that he never met Lindell."
SPEAKING OF KASH PATEL: "Scoop: Gina Haspel threatened to resign over plan to install Kash Patel as CIA deputy," Axios: "The revelation stunned national security officials and almost blew up the leadership of the world's most powerful spy agency. Only a series of coincidences — and last minute interventions from Vice President Mike Pence and White House counsel Pat Cipollone — stopped it. …
"Trump planned to name Patel deputy director of the CIA on Dec. 11 — in fact, the paperwork had already been drafted to formalize Patel's appointment. That same day, Haspel decided for the first time in weeks to attend the president's daily intelligence briefing. … During the briefing that day, Haspel deftly reminded Trump of what had initially impressed him about her: As Trump often put it, she was tough, and good at killing terrorists."

Hell of a day to be sworn in as prime minister
Chris Hipkins will be sworn in as prime minister this morning after Jacinda Ardern formally tenders her resignation. Around the same time, Stats NZ will drop the latest inflation figures.
In today's edition: Titewhai Harawira dies; Luxon outlines position on co-governance; UK looking to attract more Māori and Pasifika people on work visas; but first, it's still big Wednesday as a new prime minister is sworn in and the inflation figures land

Today's agenda - no time for contemplation
Today was always going to be big. We were already calling it Big Wednesday, then last Thursday happened. Even before Jacinda Ardern resigned, we knew we'd get the inflation figures and the first cabinet meeting of the year today. The economy and the cost of living are set to be the key issues this election year, and today's figures are the starting horn. New prime minister Chris Hipkins will be sworn in this morning. He won't get a lot of time to contemplate his big moment. He will lead his first cabinet meeting straight after and then head into his first post-cabinet press conference. An outline of how today will proceed here. Stats NZ will release the consumer price index (CPI) figures for the last quarter of last year around 10.45am.
The Reserve Bank will be right either way
The consensus seems to be that inflation may have peaked. As RNZ's Giles Beckford reports, economists are picking a CPI of 7.1%, down from the September quarter's 7.2% and short of the Reserve Bank's (RBNZ) November forecast of 7.5%. The concern right now is that non-tradable inflation (domestic inflation) is expected to hit a new record high. Good analysis from Stuff's Tom Pullar-Strecker here on the psychological importance of what happens today and the RBNZ being right, no matter what happens. Either we listened to Adrian Orr in November and cooled the jets or the central bank will be justified in another offical cash rate rise in February.
Fuel subsidy and transport support package ends January 31
Any fall in the CPI is expected to be a result of easing cost pressures on tradables (overseas). A significant drop in fuel prices aided by the continuation of the government's fuel tax cuts is expected to have contributed to any fall. On January 31, the government's transport support package will expire. The transport sector is already warning it will increase the price of everyday goods.
"If you are going to leave with a brass band, leave with a brass band from Rātana"
Ardern will also formally tender her resignation at Government House this morning. Her audience with the Governor General is private. She will slip away quietly, the speech she wasn't expecting to give at Rātana yesterday her final farewell before a valedictory in April. Despite the commentary about the abuse and vitriolic threats to her life she's endured, Ardern said the job had been the greatest privilege of her life and wanted people to know that she leaves "with a greater love of Aotearoa and its people than when I started." Her speech in full here.
Titewhai Harawira dies, aged 90.
The mother of eight sons, including former MP Hone Hawawira, Titewhai Harawira will lie in state at Hoani Waititi Marae in Henderson and return to the north for burial. Journalist Mihingarangi Forbes described her this morning on Twitter as "relentless, purposeful and irreplaceable, the embodiment of mana wahine." Harawira would frequently challenge politicians and was a member of Ngā Tamatoa, an activist group which formed in the 1970s to promote Māori rights, fight racial discrimination, and confront violations of the Treaty of Waitangi. They presented the 1972 petition to parliament to have te reo Māori taught in schools. Harawira was a familiar face at Waitangi, often escorting prime ministers onto Te Tii marae over Waitangi weekend. She was one of the leaders of the 1975 land hikoi that marched from the Far North to parliament and was active in the Māori Women's Welfare League.
Luxon's Rātana speech
The tradition of travelling to Rātana really belongs to the Labour party but National party leader Christopher Luxon attended yesterday and delivered a speech outlining his views on co-governance. Luxon said he had wanted to be clear that National did not agree with co-governance in public services, but did want Māori to achieve and get ahead. He did not believe co-governance in public services was the way to do that. He said he thought the government had been messy in its approach to co-governance which had created fear and division. Stuff's Luke Malpass writes that Luxon achieved his mission of delivering that message, but needs to move past stump speeches and "politics 101 primers".

In the blink of an eye we'll have a new NZ prime minister. Annabelle, Ben and Toby assess the coronation, the reset and what it all means for election 2023 in a new episode of Gone by Lunchtime.
UK looking to attract more Māori and Pasifika on working holiday visas
Newsroom's Sam Sachdeva talks to British High Commissioner Iona Thomas about the United Kingdom's push to get more Māori and Pasifika people accessing the holiday visa scheme. As part of the free trade deal signed between the UK and New Zealand last year, the bilateral arrangement that gives young people from one country the ability to work in the other for a limited period of time was enhanced. The age limit for applicants will lift to 35 and the visa duration will extend from two years to three. Josiah Tualamaliʻi, a co-founder of the Pacific Youth Leadership and Transformation Trust, says young Māori and Pasifika could benefit immensely from efforts to reduce barriers to accessing the visas.

Friends - literally good for your health
Surveys in the US and the UK have found people's friend groups have shrunk and many have lost contact with friends over the course of the pandemic. If you want 2023 to be the year you remedy that, here are some great reads on the importance of friends. The first is from the Washington Post on why tending to your friendships is as important as getting to bed early or eating well. The second is from Elle Hunt in The Guardian on bringing back the casual, expectation-free and somewhat spontaneous "hang". It's reminiscent of Anne Helen Petersen's 2021 piece about the "errand friend".
Hi Anna, I couldn't see how to contact Tommy de Silva on the Spinoff site, but his discussion on subsidies for E bikes is timely. He should also be advocating (and almost everyone in this country) for bikes/e-bikes to be exempt from FBT. The government make tiny amounts from FBT yet it means employers can't give employees the opportunity to purchase a bike without FBT being payable. Bike to Work schemes are standard in Europe and should be a no-brainer here in NZ.

The Soft-Swift Transition Sandwiched Between Two Mutually Exclusive Models
Juan Tomás Sánchez
The intense attention being devoted to the problems of Cuba has not produced a corresponding outpouring of studies with a vision and blueprints to future paths for the island with proven results. The consensus among students of the Cuban economy is that a transition will not occur in their lifetime. One of the most voiced forecasts is that, regrettably, it will take generations to remake Cuba to what it once was. Nevertheless, there are children of Cuba who do not want to leave 11 million of their countrymen a la deriva, adrift, and want to think about changes.
Cuban historian Leví Marrero wrote in his classic Cuba: Economía y Sociedad, that Cuba left the Middle Ages between 1702 and 1763, a period delineated by the ascension to power of the French Bourbon dynasty in Spain and the capture of Havana by the British. Cuba emerged from that period profoundly changed in terms of economic and social outlook. Lesson: changes can occur and can result in much benefit for the country and its citizens.
A SOFT-SWIFT TRANSITION
Transition is the conversion to a new doctrine of laws, a new way to prepare present and future generations to live freely with each other. We define a soft-swift transition as one that entails relatively low costs and economic disruption for citizens while occurring in a relatively short time interval. Keeping a transition simple is preferable to make it possible to implement it and to avoid inflicting unnecessary damage.
A soft and swift transition in Cuba could come from within the National Assembly of People's Power (ANPP). The regime is already preparing itself for that possibility. Miguel Díaz-Canel, Cuba's second in command, in a video that circulated in February 2017, stated that the government had documented "48 counterrevolutionaries" who would be running for elected positions to the 660-seat National Assembly, beginning a process of potential change from within the ANPP. This statement suggests that the leadership may already be acknowledging its weakest point.
It may be that it is still premature to discuss the concept of a soft and swift transition in Cuba. However, if the history of Cuba is any indication, when bad luck and bad weather rain on the government in power's parade, transition ideas will be generated. There is only one "bite at the apple" in successful transitions.
A transition will occur in Cuba. Cuba is not like Eastern European countries. Cuba is and was a Western Civilization country. When freed from the Spanish Monarchy in 1889, Cuba adopted ideas from the American Revolution, such as separation of powers, democratic elections, and more. But it kept the Spanish Civil Laws intact. My favorite example is that Cuba did not adopt—in the drafting of its first Constitution in 1902—the American process of elected judicial branch officers, but kept the Spanish system of contested opposition to posts and irremovability of judges once assigned to official positions, to free judges from influences from above. The examples of how transitions from above came to former Soviet satellite countries may have little resonance in the future Cuba case. The Cuban transition will benefit from Cubans who have lived abroad in the last half-century and learnings in the areas of civil and human rights, property rights, markets, financing of investments, and others.
The totalitarian regime that has ruled Cuba for almost three generations may have distorted the vision of many of what can be expected to happen in our lifetimes in this hemisphere, in a place named Cuba. It is desirable that those of us who have not been under the control of the regime help think about a successful transition process.
TWO MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE MODELS
Two instances of transitions in our own history in the twentieth century come to mind. The 1933 Revolution, as the period after the flight of president-dictator Gerardo Machado in August 1933 is known, was one of the worst economic times the Republic had known until that time. The transition, which included free elections, the creation of a Constitutional Assembly and the adoption of the 1940 Constitution, protected lives and human rights. Meanwhile, the 1959 Revolution, resulted in life, liberty, and property not being respected and no electoral process; there were massive violations of human rights and decisions were made by the revolutionaries in public speeches rather than by democratic means.
In the first few months after the August 1933 revolution, the Provisional Government ruled by Decrees, under the constitutional umbrella of the 1902 Constitution, and solved the most pressing social issues in fairly short order.
In early 1959, the institutional life of the country seemed to be returning to normalcy after an armed struggle that had immobilized the country during the last part of 1958. But behind the scenes, out of the view of those who did not want to see, from early January 1959 the seeds of a very different regime were sowed: firing squads, Revolutionary Tribunals, and confiscation of property for political reasons. The Rule of Law that was anticipated after the Batista dictatorship vanished until today.
The logic of the success of the transition associated with the 1933 Revolution is consistent with the soft and swift approach. Do only that which must be do-ne. Open the country for investments. Create the necessary guarantees so that no one will lose his or her civil rights, life or property by an act of the government. The immediate economic results that will follow the application of these principles are paramount to stability.
The transitions brought about by the 1933 and 1959 revolutions brought different results, but both give valuable guidance. In 1933 and 1959 the expectations from socialism were much higher than they are today or will be tomorrow. Change away from a failed situation is popularly attractive, but it increases pressure to succeed and generate positive change.
With their present living standard levels, Cubans cannot afford a transition that will put them in limbo, like a Halfway House. The needed transition needs to be soft, because peaceful change is what is needed and can be provided by changing the purpose of the ANPP as it meets in Cuba's Capitolio. When will the transition happen? The outlook from here, mid-2017, is medium to long term.
Swift has to be the return to a form of government that allows citizens to govern Setting national elections on a date certain will show a commitment to a swift path to be a normal country again.
Swift, because human and political rights are not negotiable. The economy cannot live in limbo; it needs quick definition of rights and duties of citizens and of
Swift, to avoid looting by Cuban oligarchs following what occurred during the USSR/Russia transition. Conditions are present in Cuba as a result of joint ventures and control by members of the government elite of assets that are part of the Patrimonio Nacional.
Swift as in the 1933 Revolution, where in one set of documents published in the Gaceta Official a new government was established, and for the next 100 days the most critical social problems began to be resolved, starting a process that led to a constitutional assembly, the drafting of a constitution and the constitution's approval.

Barkley, 54, who was born in Alabama and who at this peak was one of the National Basketball League's most influential players, said he believed it was incredible Mr Jones's rival, Roy Moore, was still in the race.
"When people in your own party say they won't vote for you or support you, that's a dead giveaway.
Their relationship goes from first meeting to dating affair leading to love and eventually getting married.
The pair met as strangers in a City Avenue Resturant.
Mr Jones's supporters said they believed the race was close but also believed they'd need a strong wind to overcome the conservative bias in the state that has ensured the last Democratic president to be supported by Alabama was southerner Jimmy Carter in 1976.
Sheila Roche said she had been making calls all day at the Jones campaign phone bank and was heartened by the responses she received. Abeda Iqbal, 25, who works in finance and who said she was Muslim, said there was no way she could vote for a candidate such as Mr Moore, given his conservative views. Yet she said she believed Mr Moore retained widespread support, especially in white, rural Alabama.
Maureen and Charles never had a moment's doubt about that though. Their fear of a media circus led them to a very private wedding in front of a judge. Charles Barkley's wife changed the round mound of sound for the better. Barkley mused to the Philly Inquirer about how marriage changes a guy's life.
It's really incredible people ever cared about that. He explained how he would hang out with friends and play golf more often when he was single.
On Monday night, Real Clear Politics, which monitors and collates other polls, said the race was a "toss up".
Alabama, where 49 per cent of adults identify as evangelical Christians, has not elected a Democrat to the senate for 30 years, and that person subsequently defected to the Republicans. It was widely assumed this special election, triggered when former senator Jeff Sessions joined Donald Trump's cabinet, would be the same.
But then Mr Moore, a retired judge, found himself accused of sexual assault and abuse involving children and young women when he was a state prosecutor in this 30s.
Then, playing on his opponents' name, he said people wanted change and desired elected officials who displayed decency.
He then lead a chant of: "No more, no more, no more." Yet, Mr Jones knows he faces a tough fight.
Using the information, you won't ever must go to that store ever again to need ready report.
Faites donc attention à ce que vous mettez dans vos Snaps !


The new SEC Chair is calling on retirement industry stakeholders to weigh in on whether the DOL fiduciary rule is helpful or harmful.
Back in mid-May the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) confirmed that it will not seek to further delay the June 9, 2017, applicability date of the new fiduciary rule defining investment advice standards and establishing the best interest contract exemption (BICE) and other related exemptions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
As readers likely recall, a big part of the debate surrounding the crafting of the fiduciary rule—approved in the waning days of the Obama administration but left to his predecessor to fully implement—involved disagreement about whether the significant expansion of regulatory power for the DOL infringed on the proper jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There was particularly strong debate about whether it is appropriate that, under the fiduciary rule expansion, DOL gains strong policing powers over large swaths of the individual retirement account (IRA) rollover marketplace.
Clayton says he "believes an updated assessment of the current regulatory framework, the current state of the market for retail investment advice, and market trends is important to the Commission's ability to evaluate the range of potential regulatory actions." He urges stakeholders with supportive and critical opinions on all these matters to share their thoughts via a webform and/or the designated email address: rule-comments@sec.gov.
Clayton's language, while admittedly somewhat cryptic, may surprise some supporters of the Trump administration—especially fans of the president's anti-regulatory rhetoric who initially expected the Obama-era fiduciary rule expansion to be completely done away with. Indeed, the outline from Clayton about potential SEC actions sounds not at all dissimilar to the language used by former chair Mary Jo White, remembered for taking an aggressive approach to SEC oversight under President Obama.
Under White's leadership, SEC launched an ambitious effort to expand its role in policing the retirement investing industry. Readers may recall the 2015 launch of the "Retirement-Targeted Industry Reviews and Examinations (ReTIRE) Initiative," as a prime example. That effort had SEC examinations staff closely review whether registered representatives and their firms met their obligations under the securities laws and self-regulatory organization (SRO) rules, with regard to selection of account types—especially rollovers from defined contribution plans to an individual retirement accounts—and performing diligence on retirement investment options, initial investment recommendations and ongoing monitoring of investments.
White also caught the attention of retirement specialist financial services providers when she signaled the SEC could sooner-rather-than-later move ahead on potentially changing its rules for how advisers and brokers must address and disclose conflicts of interest. Much of the industry speculation was that the SEC's independent advice standards would soon be made to look more akin to the approach historically taken by the Department of Labor—considered by many to be a higher standard of care.
Clayton has not yet revealed publicly to what extent he will direct the Commission to forge ahead on all these various efforts, but the language about "harmonizing" regulatory requirements released this week is revealing. It seems to open up at least the possibility that SEC and DOL will together continue to take an active and expanding role in policing adviser conflicts of interest across various aspects of the retirement plan marketplace.

CHINO, CA – Yoshimura-backed teams showed their dominance once again at the 13th round of the 2011 AMA/FIM Supercross Championship at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX. It was a thrilling night of racing, with a packed crowd of 51,509 there to witness another wild 20-lap main event. The Honda Racing and Rockstar Makita Suzuki teams put their Yoshimura products to good use in a successful campaign to own the podium in Texas.
American Honda Racing's Trey Canard clinched his third supercross win of the season in Arlington. After finishing second in his heat race, Canard got away to a good start in the main, moving into the number one spot early in the opening lap. Once out front, Canard was unstoppable on his Yoshimura-equipped CRF450R, leading all 20 laps to take a wire-to-wire victory. Canard's finish marked his third win and fifth podium of the season and elevated him to fourth overall in the championship. Fill-in teammate Cole Seely, who finished third in his heat race, had a coming together with another rider in the opening lap and was unable to finish the race.
Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Ryan Dungey showed off his determination, consistency and the power of his Yoshimura-equipped Suzuki RM-Z450 while claiming a third-place podium finish in Texas. Dungey's teammate Brett Metcalfe did not race as he continues to recover but is expected to return to action in St. Louis.
Dungey and his RMZ were strong all day on the tough and technical Arlington track, scoring the fourth best time in the afternoon qualifying and grabbing a second-place finish in his heat race. In the main event, Dungey's Suzuki powered him off the line to another great start and put him tight with the lead group in fourth. He rode hard but consistent and was able to work his way into second by lap nine before a tangle with a lapped rider on lap 11 put him back to third. Dungey pushed hard for the remaining nine laps and was able to catch back up to the second-place rider but fell just short of making the pass. Dungey sits third in the championship points, one point out of second and seven points from first.
"All in all, it was a good day," said Dungey. "My whole Rockstar Makita Suzuki team and I worked really good together and they did a great job with my Suzuki tonight. The track was tough; especially the whoop sections were really big and technical. I got off to a good start in the main and was able to work my way up to second in like the tenth lap, but then a couple laps later I came up on a lapper and just misjudged what he was gonna do and went down. I got back up in third and made a hard charge for second and got close but just came up a little short. All in all, I felt great and my RMZ felt great too. I'm looking forward to St. Louis. It's always a tough track; tacky and technical. We got a win there last year so it would be good to go back there and get another win."
The next stop of the 2011 AMA/FIM Supercross Championship for the Yoshimura-backed teams is Saturday, April 9th, at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, MO. You can meet the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team riders on Friday, April 8th, from 5 to 6 PM at Big St. Charles Motorsports, 3830 West Clay Street, Saint Charles, MO.


Financial services firms, in particular asset managers, must undergo the arduous task of keeping up with various regulatory initiatives and other policies impacting their businesses to ensure they remain attractive to investors and can be prepared for government inquiries. To name a few, they need to make sure they have adequate cybersecurity measures in place to monitor threats, robust valuation policies and viable succession plans for their firms when the founder steps aside. And finally, for investment advisors specifically, they can expect to face enhanced data reporting requirements for mutual funds, ETFs and other registered investment companies ("RICs").
Asset managers, including hedge funds, private equity funds and venture capital firms, among others, continue to inquire about cybersecurity following the federal government's February creation of a new agency called the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center ("CTIIC") to monitor cybersecurity threats, along with pooling and analyzing information on spectrum of risks.
Gary Swiman, partner in EisnerAmper's Compliance and Regulatory Services ("CARS") group, suggested numerous industry best practices for asset managers to enhance and maintain information security of critical client and proprietary data including eliminating unnecessary data, ensuring essential controls are met and regularly audited to guarantee consistent implementation, and changing default credentials, among others.
"The question for every business owner or board of directors is no longer 'if we are attacked' but 'when we are attacked and are we ready,'" he said.
He added that other common practices include avoiding shared credentials, implementing a firewall or access control list ("ACL") on remote access/administration services, updating anti-virus and other software consistently, and implementing cybersecurity employee training and customer alerts to look for signs of tampering and fraud.
Valuation policies continue to remain an area of concern for both managers and investors. Managers must be able to demonstrate to investors they have reasonable methods, remain consistent and exhibit solid communication regarding their procedures.
"Investors are increasingly concerned about the details of the valuations and the policies around the process during their due diligence activity," said Craig Ter Boss, director in the Corporate Finance group at EisnerAmper.
Ter Boss added that funds should ensure they revisit their valuation policies on a continual basis and if a deviation occurs, best practices for such event would be to ensure the situation is well-documented. Further, the individual(s) responsible for valuing the fund's assets would benefit from communicating the processes throughout the year to their service providers, which can create an opportunity to address any instances of inconsistency.
Asset managers continue to inquire about succession planning and how the firm's CFO can best prepare and maintain investor confidence when the founder steps aside. According to Nicholas Tsafos, an audit partner at the firm, the CFO needs to address three components of succession planning including governance, compensation and equity to ensure the transition is smooth for the person(s) taking over.
"Governance is one of the most important but also one of the most complicated aspects of succession planning because it encompasses the founder's family wealth," he said.
In addressing compensation, in the majority of cases, when the firm's founder runs the business, he or she is still incentivized. Finally, with the equity piece, if the founder wants to sell a certain percentage of their business, the firm must have a plan for how much equity he or she will maintain.
Investment companies and investment advisors can expect to face enhanced reporting requirements in order to provide investors improved access to information about their fund's investments and give the SEC more useful information to monitor risks in the asset management industry. Last month, the SEC proposed a number of rules, forms and amendments to improve the quality and accessibility of information. Form N-PORT would require registered funds, other than money market funds and SBICs, to report portfolio-wide and position-level holdings data to the SEC on a monthly basis. Previously, they were required to do so quarterly. Form N-CEN would require funds to annually report certain census-type information in a structured data format to the SEC filed within 60 days of the end of the fund's fiscal year and replace Form N-SAR currently used which requires them to file semi-annually.
"We believe the new proposed rules and related forms are a product of the SEC initiatives, which began in early 2014, to focus on and to get a greater understanding of the alternative mutual fund space," said Garth Puchert, audit partner in the firm's Financial Services group. "The new proposed portfolio form and enhanced derivative disclosures will help investors obtain better information about the mutual fund investments and risks associated with those investments on a more timely basis."
Asset managers need to keep up with all the regulatory requirements and other policies impacting their operational components of their business following both government and investor requirements. If they are able to exhibit best practices in monitoring cybersecurity threats, having sound valuation policies and a viable succession plan, they have a greater chance of being more attractive to potential investors. Finally, if investment advisors in particular start preparing for the anticipated enhanced reporting requirements proposed by the SEC, they will be in a better position to provide allocators better quality and accessibility to information about their funds' investments.

Everyone throws the word "toxins" around now, referring to food based as well as environmental sources. For example, I was telling someone about how I enjoy eating liver, especially because it's one of the most nutritious foods per gram in the world. Their response? "It's also one of the most toxic." All kinds of people recommend a variety of foods because they have less "toxins", from vegans to zero-carb paleos, to everyday standard-American-dieters.
This question asks what people do to avoid them, but I'd like to more about them in general.
So, from a Paleo perspective, what is your take on toxins? Which ones are the worst, and importantly, why should we worry about them? Which ones aren't really a problem? I think a list with some hard science evidence would a great resource for Paleo beginners and the community in general, since it seems to be a very important part of the diet and lifestyle.
what about methyl-parabens in blueberries as a toxin? It is certainly a xenoestrogen. BTW: would you know what ALEs are and a good source primer on this topic. PALEOHACKS seems a little lacking in that area.
I eat way too much fish and may end up with the toxin MERCURY in my brain!
liver filters out the crap of an animals diet.
If that animal eats crap then the liver is most likely not going to be that good If you are eating liver from a grass fed animal, then eat away.
Liver is great, as well as bacon and chicken hearts.


Reality star Vicki Gunvalson's daughter, Briana Culberson, was seen chatting with Tamra Barney on last week's new episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, and during the ladies' chat, Culberson claimed the reality star's late mother, Joanne Steinmetz, was not a fan of Brooks Ayers, Gunvalson's ex-boyfriend. However, according to a tweet by the reality star on October 11, Culberson's claim wasn't factual.
Earlier on Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, longtime reality star Gunvalson was seen getting a call in which someone informed her that her mother had died suddenly in her home. During the episode, Gunvalson was seen collapsing on the floor during a game night with her co-stars after learning the devastating news. While the candid on-screen moment was quite dramatic for the reality star, there was even more drama on the way regarding her then-boyfriend, Ayers.
Since 2013, Ayers has claimed to be suffering from stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, but unfortunately, many of the reality star's co-stars don't believe he's truly ill. Although Gunvalson has claimed she's gone to doctor visits with her former beau and has seen his medical records, her co-star, Meghan King Edmonds, the newest cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County, isn't convinced, and she has done several things throughout filming in order to prove her thoughts of his fake diagnosis are true.
During one episode of the show, Edmonds revealed she had contacted the ex-girlfriend of Ayers in hopes of gaining information about his cancer. In turn, Edmonds reportedly discovered Ayers had lied about cancer in the past. She then called the reality star's then boyfriend's doctor and was told he didn't treat cancer.
In response to Edmonds' ongoing investigating, Gunvalson's reality star ex-boyfriend sent a cease and desist letter to Edmonds, demanding the new reality star stop talking about his health, which she has seemingly refused to do. During an interview with People Magazine a short while after receiving Ayers' legal documents, Edmonds confirmed she had refused to issue an apology to her fellow reality star.
Because the reality star is convinced her co-star is lying about having cancer, she isn't backing down, and despite threats of a defamation lawsuit, she's refusing to apologize for comments made about Ayers and his cancer.
Following Season 10, reality star Gunvalson parted ways with Ayers after four years of on-again-off-again dating. Since then, Ayers has relocated from Southern California, where he lived with the reality star, to Florida.
For more of reality star Vicki Gunvalson, tune into the Season 10 finale of The Real Housewives of Orange County tonight, October 12, at 9 p.m. on Bravo, and check out her appearance on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live at 11 p.m., also on Bravo.


Raptors guard Kyle Lowry jammed his right ring finger in the second quarter of Tuesday's series-clinching win over the Magic, but said "it will be better" by Game 1 of the conference semifinals.
Raptors guard Danny Green playfully correcting teammates who are fielding questions about the Raptors' (pending) second-round matchup against Philadelphia. "The game isn't over yet!" The Sixers lead by 31 at the end of the third quarter in their close-out game.
Kyle Lowry injured his right hand during the second quarter, and checked out of the game just before halftime. The Raptors say he will return.
Too much Kawhi Leonard, who is blunting every defensive tactic Orlando throws at him. He now has 32 points on 12-for-18 shooting from the field. Toronto leads 92-75 with eight minutes remaining in Game 4.
The Magic are generating quality offense ... at buzzers. Terrence Ross drains a frantic, 30-foot 3-pointer to end the third after draining a half-court shot Friday at the halftime buzzer. Toronto leads 82-70 with one quarter to play in Orlando in Game 4.
Orlando coach Steve Clifford had three points of emphasis pregame: + The Magic need to limit turnovers. + The Magic need to protect the glass, something they did well this season. + The Magic need to make better decisions when the Raptors send help. So far, the Magic have racked up seven turnovers, and the Raptors have collected a very high percentage of their misses (36.4 percent). On decision-making in traffic, Orlando has been ok, though most of the offensive improvement is the result of some tough shot-making.
A sharp-shooting offensive start in Orlando, where the Raptors lead the Magic 28-26 after one quarter. Toronto is finding its way to the rim, and went 11-for-19 in the period. The Magic put together a decent offensive quarter, as well, with Nikola Vucevic scoring eight points on 4-for-5 shooting from the field.

Q: Dataset for DBpedia YAGO classes? I have this code:
String NS="http://dbpedia.org/ontology/";
model = ModelFactory.createOntologyModel();
model.read("dbpedia.owl");

But this ontology (dbpedia.owl) is based only on the classes whose URIs begin with http://dbpedia.org/ontology/. I would also like to add the classes whose URIs begin with http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/. How can I do this?

A: It appears that you've just downloaded the DBpedia Ontology T-BOX (Schema).
On the Downloads page, there are links to more datasets.  Under Links to other datasets there are four YAGO related datasets:

*

*YAGO links

*YAGO type links

*YAGO types

*YAGO type hierarchy

The description of the YAGO type hierarchy is:

YAGO type hierarchy
Dataset containing the hierarchy of YAGO classes in the http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/ namespace. Update mechanism: generated from latest YAGO datasets.

I think it's that dataset that will contain what you're looking for, though I do suggest you look at the other ones too, in case there's something useful in there.

ANC has unveiled its first commercial electric vehicle fleet, dedicated to its client IKEA's last mile home delivery services in New South Wales.
The introduction of three 100% electric vehicles is part of ANC's strategy to introduce an environmentally sound transportation alternative to its clients and their customers. The zero-emissions commercial trucks will save an estimated 36 tonnes of CO2 per annum when compared to a typical diesel equivalent.
ANC's electric vehicles (EV) comprise a Hino 917 Series truck base built without a motor, gearbox, and exhaust, replaced with SEA Drive 120a electric components by Australian-based SEA Electric and a custom designed cargo box.
The modular electric driveline enables the replacement of individual components as technology advances, extending the vehicle's lifecycle. Components include electric battery packs with a lifespan of over 10 years which are 99.7% recyclable at end-of-life.
As a national provider of delivery services for the likes of IKEA, Bunnings Warehouse, Miele, Williams-Sonoma, JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys, ANC took the opportunity to design the cargo box with retail deliveries and the customer experience in mind.
The box stands at a slightly taller 2.5metres, which allows for a larger number of bulky goods to be packed vertically, so it can take an average 17 deliveries per run, compared to the standard 10-12 deliveries per run. The cargo box has built-in padded wall racking to secure and protect the goods in transit. A Kemlite roof allows natural light into the box for greater safety when delivery professionals load and unload the goods.
In addition to launching the EV fleet, ANC is expanding its bespoke route optimisation program to reduce average kilometres driven, another positive environmental impact.
Since March 2018, route optimisation has increased delivery run efficiency with improved delivery density and demonstrated decrease kilometres driven by up to 30% per delivery run. Lower kilometres per run means decreased fuel consumption (electric or diesel), minimises brake dust particulate pollution and reduces the fleet's contribution to traffic congestion.

The future of a South Shields clothing company has been secured saving 15 jobs, thanks to a deal negotiated by business rescue, recovery and restructuring specialist, Begbies Traynor, following the voluntary liquidation of Leeannes Limited last week.
The business which manufactured ladies clothing for a catalogue company, had been started by the Hall family and dated back to 1963. Run by William David Hall and his daughter, Lesley Dixon, it traded profitably until 2006, but then hit problems as it struggled to maintain adequate profit margins. On 17th December, the company ceased trading and all of the staff was subsequently made redundant.
The plant and machinery belonging to Leeannes Limited has now been sold to its sole customer, catalogue company Country Collection, which will rent it to a new company, Country Apparel Limited, whose directors are David Hall and Lesley Dixon. The new company has also bought the other remaining assets of Leeannes Limited.
Joint Liquidator Simon Lundy of Begbies Traynor in Newcastle upon Tyne, said: "Like many small businesses, Leeannes Limited initially struggled to find informed advice and assistance when it ran into trouble. We were able to work with the directors to bring about the best possible outcome in the circumstances, enabling this long established Tyneside business to remain in the hands of the family that has put so much work into it over the last 47 years and also saving 15 jobs for local people.

Q: MySQL using results of a query that has distinct counts in another query I hope someone can help with this!
I've used the following query to count the distinct values in column2 and column3 and filter the results:
SELECT
column1,
COUNT(DISTINCT(column2)),
COUNT(DISTINCT(column3))

FROM table1
GROUP BY column1
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT(column2)) > 1
OR COUNT(DISTINCT(column3)) > 1

The output looks something like this:
| column1  | column2  | column3 |
| -------- | -------- |         |
| abcd     |   1      |     2   |
| efgh     |   2      |     2   |
| ijkl     |   2      |     1   |

I would now like to see what these distinct values of column2 and column3 associated with each value of column1 are. So, abcd will have one distinct value from column1 but two distinct values from column2- so I'm expecting the output to have two rows for abcd, with the value in column1 repeating, and two different values in column2
Does anyone know how to go about this?

A: Let a subquery return the column1 values having more than one distinct column2 or column3 values.
select distinct column1, column2, column3
from table1
where column1 in (select column1
                  from table1
                  group by column1
                  having count(distinct column2) > 1
                      or count(distinct column3) > 1)

A: This sql will show you all individual values and how often they exist:
SELECT
COUNT(column2),
column2
FROM table1
GROUP BY column2
HAVING COUNT(column2) > 1

This example is only for column2, but you can extend it easy to more columns.

'Blue Bloods' Actor Nick Cordero Undergoes Leg Amputation Amid Ongoing Fight Against COVID-19
"We had to choose life," his wife said.
By Tierney McAfee
Broadway and television star Nick Cordero has been fighting an ongoing battle with COVID-19 and related complications since he was hospitalized in March.
His wife, Amanda Kloots, has been sharing updates with fans and followers about his progress.
Most recently, Amanda shared that Nick had to undergo surgery to amputate his right leg.
As Nick Cordero remains in a medically-induced coma while fighting for his life against coronavirus, his wife Amanda Kloots gave an emotional update on his condition after he underwent surgery to amputate his right leg.
"It came down to a point where honestly it was life or leg, and we had to choose life,'' Amanda Kloots said on the Today show on Monday, two days after the surgery at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. "I choose life."
Nick, 41, had his leg amputated on Saturday after struggling with blood clots while on a ventilator and an ECMO machine, which oxygenates the blood and helps support the heart and lungs.
"They put the ECMO machine in him to save his life," Amanda said. "It was literally to save his life, and it did, thank God. And sometimes the repercussion of putting that machine on can cause some blood issues, and it did with his leg."
TV fans may recognize Nick from his recurring roles on Blue Bloods (as mobster Victor Lugo), and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but he is also a Tony Award-nominated Broadway actor. Most recently, he had been starring in a production of the stage musical "Rock of Ages" in Hollywood over the winter.
On March 30, Nick was rushed to the emergency room after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Two days later he was put in a medically induced coma.
Amanda, a former Broadway dancer and Radio City Rockette-turned-fitness trainer, has been at home taking care of their 10-month-old son, Elvis, and keeping friends and fans updated on Nick's condition via powerful Instagram posts, videos, and stories.
On Saturday night, she posted that the surgery on his leg was successful.
"I just got a call from the surgeon. He made it through the surgery, which is really big because obviously his body is pretty weak," she said. "They're taking him ... to recover and rest for the rest of night. So hopefully he'll just relax and rest. But, good news."
Amanda gave another positive update on Monday, saying her husband got a "great report" from his doctor.
"Things are just slightly looking better, little by little," Amanda said in an Instagram story video. "He's getting better and better, medications are getting less and less and machines are going off. Little by little things are getting a little bit better. It's been a much better 30 hours, so I feel a little more at peace. So some good news. The doctor just says we need him to wake up."
Amanda also recently shared a video of the couple dancing together on their wedding night, writing that she and her husband "WILL dance again!"
In the meantime, Amanda has been paying tribute to her husband's musical talents by asking Instagram followers to sing and dance to his songs using the hashtag #wakeupnick.
"It is honestly how I'm getting through this,'' she said. "People I don't even know all over the world are joining me every day at 3 p.m. to sing his song so he can hear us."

Radio Works replaced C93FM in Dunedin and Invercargill with The Rock and kept C93FM operating in Christchurch but changed its format to Adult Contemporary and launched The Rock on a separate frequency.C93 no longer operates as the station failed to attract new listeners after the format change.Originally, The Rock 93FM was based in the basement of Radio New Zealand Broadcasting House in Hamilton, this headquarters was the studios for ZHFM.The transmitter was originally located on the top of Waikato Hospital.In 1998 The Rock began networking to other regions in the North Island.In 1999, The Rock relocated to Auckland, and began broadcasting there.Later that year, Energy Enterprises and Radio Otago merged to form Radio Works; as a result, the station was networked into the South Island.In Christchurch, Radio Otago had already been operating their own rock station called C93FM and this station was networked to Dunedin and Invercargill, C93FM actually played a Classic rock format similar to Radio Hauraki.
This formed a large part of the entertainment value of the station and one of the early distinguishing features of The Rock.Simon Doull, an ex-New Zealander cricketer, was with The Morning Rumble from 2003 as a sports reader and became a co-host in 2004, but left due to cricket commentary commitments.Special Jimmy (real name Jimmy Pattillo) has also been part of the show.Simon Doull who also spent several years as a co-host, returned in 2015. Until 2011, Paul Ego was part of the show, and initially worked as the show's producer, and in addition to his duties on The Morning Rumble is an accomplished comedian, who fronts comedy TV show 7 Days.Paul left in March 2011, replaced by host of Prime TV's The Crowd Goes Wild, Andrew Mulligan.
The station is targeted exclusively towards males aged 25-44, but in spite of this also has a significant female fan base.

Brian Linehan passed away almost five years ago. He hosted City Lights, a show I would watch because I found Linehan's interviewing style to be so detailed and unique. You may recall Martin Short's send up of Linehan on SCTV, Brock Linehan.
This is the City Lights opening from 1989. Hearing that theme song takes me back. It was the only theme song the show ever had.
I just wanted to make a slight correction as I am a City Lights aficianado. The theme posted above was utilized from 1983-1989. The were two more previous incarnations of the theme which I enjoy including a funky one along the lines of Mike Post used from 1974-1982. There was also an early one used in 1973.
