The regulation to limit pollutants at power plants is suspended after protests from industry. It is the Obama administration's latest concession on the environment.
The Obama administration has decided to delay a rule that would cut emissions from power plants at major industrial facilities, the most recent in a series of decisions since the midterm election to postpone controversial environmental regulations and steer a more business-friendly course.
The EPA's decision Monday about the rule comes three days after President Obama announced plans to open more domestic territory to oil and gas drilling.
Cover-Up Lite or Selective Reporting
The above story was above the fold in the LA Times with a huge headline. I am unable to find the story on the front page of the New York Times. I'm sure the story will eventually show up on the front page, but later in the news cycle. Very interesting. The leading story in today's on-line NYT edition has to do with thieves stealing "real" hair for hair extensions. Okay.
Gosh Bruce, with "real hair theft" yet another risk I face! One reason I chose a Civil service career was so I wouldn't have a boss telling me to get my hair cut. At age 60 my personal theory that you won't go bald if you don't cut your hair works for me. (That said, both my parents but had lots of hair when they passed away so take my theory with a grain of salt.)
ReplyDeleteLast year I watched a http://Redbox.com $1 kiosk rental "Good hair". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1213585/
Speaking generally about women, I like women who are "low maintainace, low cost". Angela Davis was a far left black radical back in the 1970's but I have to give her credit for not altering here naturally "kinky" hair. With it's "body" local talent can "sculpture" it at relatively low cost.
The movie "Good Hair" is worth putting on your Netfix list. Here is a review from IMDB.
"Chris Rock, a man with two daughters, asks about good hair, as defined by Black Americans, mostly Black women. He visits Bronner Brothers' annual hair convention in Atlanta. He tells us about sodium hydroxide, a toxin used to relax hair. He looks at weaves, and he travels to India where tonsure ceremonies produce much of the hair sold in America. A weave is expensive: he asks who makes the money. We visit salons and barbershops, central to the Black community. Rock asks men if they can touch their mates' hair - no, it's decoration. Various talking heads (many of them women with good hair) comment. It's about self image. Maya Angelou and Tracie Thoms provide perspective."
Sometimes too much information! Smile.
ReplyDeleteYour theory about the relationship between cutting hair and going bald is interesting.
That's why I don't use shaving cream when shaving. Isn't it in shaving cream manufacturers' best interest to put a "Rogaine-like" additive in their shaving creams?
