I do think that the assault rifle approach would surely get attention, just not the right kind. Another major issue facing your organization as well as other similar groups, is the strong dislike of what they general public "think" you represent. For instance, the public has a very strong negative view of white robes and hoods, swastikas, etc. Those were some of the primary tools of some of history's "less favored" moments to most. I wonder what would happen, if a group were to try a different approach. Same beliefs, different methods. Instead of SA uniforms that so many associate with the Nazi's from WWII (we both know how popular they are to the majority), maybe a new uniform designed by a new modern generation of Aryans. Instead of carrying the Swastika flag, maybe design a new symbol that so many don't already know and hate. That wouldn't be hard either, Hitler didn't design the swastika after all. It's been a sign of happiness on Buddhist temples in Asia for centuries. Instead of saying "Niggers" at rallies, maybe just "blacks". Not that I don't call them niggers because that's what they are, but that causes an uproar with the many liberals that unfortunately are in positions of power. People do not hear the actual message then, they just think here are a bunch of ignorant white trash up here waving flags and yelling. I'm just wondering if we presented ourselves to the public in a different manner, would we see more support and better results. I have thought a lot about this, and feel that you have as well from you saying "To effect change, one must use their intellect and strategy to win this war." We need to first change the way we are viewed by the people we are trying to reach. Then we need to show actual facts and statistics instead of the typical negative commentary that goes nowhere. We need the people to see that the Niggers are NOT equal. They are by nature, savages, criminals that think everything should be handed to them. Our prison, crime, drug, etc. statistics show this information. The blacks like to call it stereotyping, or singling them out. Then they use the race card that our weak government and judicial system caters to their constant complaining from fear of lawsuits. Now given back sixty years ago, in this very country, the blacks kept to themselves. It was rare to hear of blacks rioting, attacking a white woman, or committing crimes against whites in general. That's because we had segregation. The black had their place and we had ours and the two did not mix. The crime was mostly in the ghetto's and slums amongst the blacks themselves. They knew that if they crossed the line, they would have to answer for what they done. Nobody to complain to and get off free of any responsibility or punishment, and the crime was usually quickly followed with a whipping or hanging. We had strict and swift punishment then, and they stayed inline. The government screwed up when they gave them new freedom. They gave an inch, the blacks took a mile. They have started reverting back to their primitive ways and causing chaos in our society. Instead of the warring tribes of Africa, we have street gangs at war. They are a lesser species of the human race. There are so many highly qualified white men in our nation's workforce passed up for promotions or a job at all because they have to allow so many blacks to work there and so many blacks must be advanced to better jobs even though their skills, education, and qualification are inferior to their white counterparts. I do have a personal opinion of colored people though. I have worked with "Black People", and I have worked with "Niggers"! I think some blacks have started to evolve into a more civilized society. These are they ones that are not living on the taxpayer's dollar. They usually live outside the slums and ghettos, work everyday, stay out of trouble, finish school, raise their children in a civilized manner, etc. I have a degree of respect for them. If they work for what they have the same way that I do, then I have no problem with the man. The niggers on the other hand, are the ones that try and get out of as much work as they can pass on to their co-workers. Just their to draw a paycheck, usually the employer gets fed up and can't fire or discipline the nigger because he'll be sued for discrimination. Now, that's just the niggers just have jobs. The ones too stupid to go into illegal business. Such as drug dealing or theft rings. You may or may not agree with me on that. That's just my opinion though. I've ranted on long enough in this email. I hope you'll agree with me on most of it. I'm twenty seven years old, but I'd love to be able to see a change in my lifetime. For our future generation's sake anyway! DRM

We have for the last couple of weeks started to compile the Re-start/Integration Plans for Netco. So far, we have primarily focussed on the mid/back plans where the technology requirements have been the driving factors. Several plans are in the final stages of completion including:- + Infrastructure Jenny Rub + Development Jay Webb + EnronOnline Webb / Forster + HR David Oxley + Cash Management Tom Myers + Credit Debbie Brackett The rest will be completed shortly. We now need to focus on the commercial plans which have a slightly different focus. John and I would like to receive the plans "Re-start/Integration" plans by January 7th, 2002 in order to go through them individually with each of you or in groups. The focus should be to ensure that we have as much of the business up and running in the shortest time possible. I have a suggested outline which you do not have to use but I thought it might help. Please decide within yourselves the areas you will cover together or individually. Customer Side + Customers Phase 1 - First Week (eg top 10) Phase 2 - First Month (eg top 50) Phase 3 - First Quarter (eg top 100) + Action Plan Phase 1 Customers Phase 2 Customers Phase 3 Customers + Contracts by customers (pre-prepared with credit terms etc) + Customer visit schedule Product Side + List of Products Phase 1 - First Week Phase 2 - First Month Phase 3 - First Quarter Target Number of Transactions + Phase 1 + Phase 2 + Phase 3 IT transfer Louise

July 18, 2002 Dear Readers, I'm sure you've seen those annoying X-10 cameras ads popping up left and right while surfing the Internet. One day, out of curiosity, I decided to check this bothersome company's Web site. To my amazement, I found that their miniature cameras are pretty darn tiny, and you can mount them practically anywhere. But what does the law says about using them? I wouldn't want anyone to invade my privacy with that sort of camera setup. Coincidentally, I ran across this interesting discussion about this in the Boards, where members were discussing these miniature cameras, called CCTVs, and the privacy concerns around them. So if you want more info or would like to leave your two cents' worth about this, send us a post. Besides, this information might keep you from getting caught on camera in an embarrassing situation.

Dear Ms. Causholli, TAD equals to through-air-drying, a process where hot air is blown in a drum through the paper web and drying it. It allows a higher bulk of tissue paper as the paper web is not pressed hard against iron as in the case of conventional drying. Higher bulk means softer paper and better absorbency properties, therefore it is prefeered by companies aiming at very high tissue quality. I am not a technical expert but machinery manufacturers, especially Metso Paper's Honeycomb division in the USA could explain TAD in more technical terms. AfH stands for away-from-home, i.e. uses in offices, industry, hotels, restaurants, hospitals etc. outside households. I have not yet updated all the 2000 numbers but will do it within the next couple of months. Some data is very difficult to obtain, and thus updating takes a lot of time.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE I am a Christian minister with a church in Tarpon Springs, Florida. My community is in trouble and drugs are at the heart of it. For a long time I've looked for a solution. Now, I know that something can be done about it. In his press release, which you can read below, Rev. Heber Jentzsch challenges community groups to unite in a shoulder-to-shoulder effort to address the drug problem. I'm doing it. I'm bringing Mr. Hubbard's workable technology of drug education and rehabilitation into my community. This February I had the pleasure of meeting with Rev. Jentzsch in Los Angeles. For a picture, click on It was good to find out that we share the common purpose to educate the people of this world about drugs and offer them real hope. I am asking you to help directly by donating the funds needed to establish a Narconon in our community center, called The Dream Station of Tarpon Springs. The faster we work the more lives we can save. The people in our community have a bleak future until we bring them tools to break the endless cycle of addiction. I would like to extend a personal invitation for you to meet with me, and with my friend Doyle Mills, where we can fully brief you on my plans to use L. Ron Hubbard?s technology to help restore our community. I look forward to hearing your ideas and working with you! Sincerely, Reverend Michael Davis Mt. Olive Ministries and The Dream Station of Tarpon Springs To meet with Reverend Davis and find out how you can with this vital project, contact Doyle Mills at 727-871-0970 or doyle@mtoliveministries.org. You can also send a donation to: Mt. Olive Ministries, 500 East Oakwood, Tarpon Springs, FL 34689 Press release: Community Groups Challenged to Unite in the 2006 Fight Against Drugs The President of the Church of Scientology International, Rev Heber C. Jentzsch, is challenging community groups to unite in a massive campaign to educate people around the world on the real facts about drugs, in the face of statistics from the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crimes World Drug Report, showing an estimated 200 million people, or 5% of the worlds population age 15-64, consume illegal drugs. (PRWEB) January 2, 2006 -- The President of the Church of Scientology International, Rev Heber C. Jentzsch, is challenging community groups to unite in a massive campaign to educate people around the world on the real facts about drugs, in the face of statistics from the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crimes World Drug Report, showing an estimated 200 million people, or 5% of the worlds population age 15-64, consume illegal drugs. Churches of Scientology internationally have printed and distributed more than eight million copies of booklets on the subjects of marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine and heroin. Supplementing this massive information program have been 224,220 drug awareness billboards and posters, over 45 million fliers, 89,000 public awareness events and more than 10,200 newspaper and television stories promoting a drug-free message - all financed by the Church of Scientology and its members. Here in Los Angeles the Church?s youth drug-prevention program, Drug-Free Marshals, is a welcome sight at Police open houses, national night out events, and at youth clubs and recreation centers. Drug-Free Marshals have gotten the word out to 100,000 of youth over the last decade. Humanitarian, L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Church of Scientology believed, "Save the child and you save the nation." The Church has partnered with numerous groups, including Mothers in Action and recently had the opportunity to issue the 7-point Drug Free Marshal pledge to lead drug-free lives to the Marine hockey club of Camp Pendelton. The highly popular Community Day organized through the Los Angeles County Sheriff?s Clergy Council under Sheriff Leroy D. Baca is just around the corner, where more than a thousand youth are expected to take the pledge and receive copies of the booklets produced by the Church as a public service. Pointing to the Church's experience for nearly two decades in community drug education, Rev. Jentzsch said that many youth and young adults are misinformed about drugs but that equipping them with the facts can reduce drug misuse. Scientologists offer use of their drug education booklets to other groups and organizations because they are effective said Rev. Jentzsch. "Many people have stopped taking drugs or decided never to start as a direct result of reading our booklets or attending one of our public awareness events but we need to reach everyone," said Rev. Jentzsch. "If community groups join forces the impact would be enormous," he added. "With a populace composed of 200 million users and billions more to educate, it's time to move to an entirely new level." Over the past year, the Church estimates that close to 50,000,000 people have been reached with its anti-drug message, with one hundred thousand children and teenagers sworn-in as Drug-Free Marshals and more than 525,000 anti-drug booklets and 5,600,000 fliers against drugs distributed internationally. ### _____ Talk is cheap.

Therefore, Enron corporate aircraft should not be counted on to provide assistance in this situation.

Dear all, I guess one point that can be outlined for the next IPCC report is about the regional differences in climate change and variability. We can see that in the paleo record, and it is very clear from the work of the PAGES "last 2k regional groups". There is for instance a new Arctic 2k summary in Journal of Paleolimnology (Kauffman et al 2009), and another paper in prep (I guess you are co-author Peck). All the best Pierre ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pierre Francus Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique Centre Eau, Terre et Environnement 490 rue de la couronne, Québec, QC G1K 9A9, CANADA Membre du GEOTOP, Membre associé du CEN, PAGES SSC member [1]pfrancus@ete.inrs.ca â 1-418-654-3780 Fax: 1-418-654-2600 Personnal web page: [2] Laboratory : [3] PASADO-CANADA: [4] GEOTOP: [5] CEN: [6] PAGES: [7] On 21-avr.-09, at 16:42, Jonathan Overpeck wrote: Thanks Steve and friends I still need to read all the feedback, and appreciate it. I think you hit on a biggie that paleo provides critical evaluations of model realism. With regard to the others, the key for inclusion in an IPCC assessment, is to synthesize the published literature in a way that informs policy makers (the top audience) on what is happening in the climate system, and more important even what will happen in the he climate system. Taking the terrific speleothem work for example, what are the key lessons that are NEW and important to highlight to policy makers? This is the kind of relevant science we need to compile/highlight. Itâs harder than at first glance, but thatâs ok quality of relevant issues is more important than quantity. Again, thanks all for taking this exercise seriously. Feel free to seek input from colleagues, although please help us by only sending what you think has a chance of fitting with the criteria above it is unclear if there will be time for anyone to read all the strong literature that has come out since mid-2006, so please summarize each key point with a couple sentence bullet, the complete reference (maybe even send the pdf), and if you think the key point isnât easy to understand to a non-paleo person â a little (e.g., para) supporting text, w/ a key figure if you think it really helps. Best, peck On 4/16/09 1:48 PM, "Steve Colman" wrote: Dear Peck and Eystein, I tend to agree with Stefan that it would be conceptually nice to weave paleo-science into all the chapters of the next report, but that, as a practical matter, a tighter focus on paleo results would have more impact. Most people seem to accept that past history is the only way to assess what the climate system can actually do (e.g., how fast it can change). However, I think that the fact that reconstructed history provides the only calibration or test of models (beyond verification of modern simulations) is under-appreciated. In terms of recent or near-future new results, I think that two areas of continental paleoclimate research are exciting: (1) the new speleothem records, which are producing extremely high-resolution, well-dated hitories, especially in monsoon areas; and (2) the network of long-term continental climate histories coming from drill cores in lakes (Titicaca, Malawi, Bosumtwi, Peten Itza, Qinghai, El' gygytgyn) is reaching the point where stimulating syntheses may be possible.

05/12/2016 06:28 AM EDT By Mike Allen (@mikeallen; mallen@politico.com) and Daniel Lippman (@dlippman; dlippman@politico.com) Good Thursday morning. It's 67 days to Cleveland, 74 days to Philly, 180 days to election. SCOOP DU JOUR - "Biden wanted Warren as his VP: The Massachusetts senator was 'noncommittal,' but warned of a backlash against his pro-Wall Street votes in Senate," by Glenn Thrush and Annie Karni: "Joe Biden took months to decide he wouldn't run for president - but he was sold on Elizabeth Warren as his running mate from the start ... And he still thinks the Massachusetts firebrand would be Hillary Clinton's best choice to replace him as the nation's No. 2 in January 2017. ... Biden broached the idea, almost matter of factly, to Warren during a much-hyped lunch meeting at the vice president's residence on the grounds of the Naval Observatory last September." --"Joe Biden: 'I Would Have Been the Best President,'" by ABC News' Margaret Chadbourn: "Biden [told ABC's Robin Roberts] he 'would have been the best president' if he had mounted a successful campaign in the 2016 election, but that forgoing the race was the right decision for his family."  FIRST LOOK: Playbook exclusive ... DOUG SOSNIK -- former President Bill Clinton adviser, now one of the most interesting big-think political geographers - is out with one of his famous memos, "The Question Every Republican has to Answer: Did They Support Trump in 2016?": "At least once in a politician's career they are forced to make a decision that will follow them for the rest of their lives, like the vote to confirm Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court a quarter century ago or the decision to invade Iraq in 2003. For today's Republican leaders and elected officials that moment has arrived. They have to decide whether they support Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States. ... --"The State of Play for Democrats ... Clinton isn't perceived to be wrapping up the Democratic nomination from the position of strength that her victory totals would suggest. Further complicating Clinton's primary end-game strategy is the fact that she can't risk alienating the Sanders voters who she will need in the general election. ... --"The General Election Electoral Map Looks Daunting for Trump ... His only route runs through the former industrial heartland of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. A third-party challenge would almost certainly widen Democrats' advantage, opening up the possibility that we'll see the biggest political landslide in a three-person race since 1980, when Ronald Reagan carried 44 states and secured 489 electoral votes. ... --"Consequences of Trump's Candidacy for Senate Control ... With Trump at the top of the ticket, no party has been more vulnerable to a political tsunami in the U.S. Senate since 1980 when Ronald Reagan was elected president in a landslide that saw12 seats change hands from Democrats to Republicans, giving Republicans a majority in the Senate for the first time since 1954. Increasingly, Senate election outcomes mirror the presidential outcome in states. ... --"[I]f Trump's candidacy shows signs of imploding, second tier vulnerable Republican incumbents, like McCain (AZ), Burr (NC) and Grassley (IA), will ... be at ... risk." 5-page memo ... 6-slide deck, "Clinton v. Trump"  UNDERSTANDING TRUMP ... "AMERICA'S MIDDLE CLASS MELTDOWN" -- Financial Times, p. 1 above fold (USA edition), "Household income tumbles in majority of US cities this century: More than 80% suffer fall -- Decline fuels election discontent -- Industrial areas hard hit," by Sam Fleming and Shawn Donnan in D.C.: "More than four-fifths of America's metropolitan areas have seen household incomes decline this century ... The research on urban centres that are home to three-quarters of the US population shows that median household incomes ... grew in just 39 out of 229 metro areas between 1999 and 2014. ... "Pew's research [in consultation with the FT] illuminates a major source of that anxiety but also raises questions about some of America's most celebrated economic success stories. It reveals a steady erosion of the middle class across the US map, with 203 out of the 229 metro areas experiencing a decline in the share of their populations that are middle income. At the same time, 172 metro areas saw increases in the share of their population that is upper income, and 160 saw a rising lower-income share." ... Pew study, "The Geography of America's Shrinking Middle Class"  --NOT JUST RUST BELT ... "For decades, the Sun Belt promised jobs but the problems of wage inequality are catching up," by FT's Sam Fleming and Shawn Donnan: "The erosion of America's middle class ... is often portrayed as a phenomenon brought about by the collapse of well-paying manufacturing jobs ... thanks to increased automation and competition from China. But a new study ... points to just how widespread the damage to America's middle has been and how divided the country's class structures are becoming."  LIFE ONLINE - N.Y. Times A1, below fold, Farhad Manjoo's "State of the Art" column, "Algorithms With Agendas And the Sway of Facebook" (online: "Facebook's Bias Is Built-In, and Bears Watching"): "If it wanted to, Facebook could try to sway elections, favor certain policies, or just make you feel a certain way about the world, as it once proved it could do in an experiment devised to measure how emotions spread online. There is no evidence Facebook is doing anything so alarming now. The danger is nevertheless real. The biggest worry is that Facebook doesn't seem to recognize its own power, and doesn't think of itself as a news organization with a well-developed sense of institutional ethics and responsibility ... "Facebook also has an unmistakable corporate ethos and point of view. The company is staffed mostly by wealthy coastal Americans who tend to support Democrats ... Zuckerberg is for free trade, more open immigration and for a certain controversial brand of education reform."  ** A message from the Alzheimer's Association: Alzheimer's is the most expensive disease in the country. Every hour, Alzheimer's costs taxpayers $18.3 million dollars. Today, Alzheimer's costs the country $236 billion a year and that will quadruple to more than $1 trillion over the next generation. Funding for Alzheimer's research must increase. Learn more at alz.org/advocacy ** DAILY DONALD - Trump, in shift from AP interview the day before, told Fox's Greta Van Susteren last night that he may release his tax returns, after all, per Hanna Trudo: "I'll release. Hopefully before the election I'll release ... And I'd like to release. ... You learn very little from a tax return." --"Romney ... blasted Trump in a ... Facebook post. 'It is disqualifying for a modern-day presidential nominee to refuse to release tax returns to the voters, especially one who has not been subject to public scrutiny in either military or public service.' In February 2015, Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt that he would 'certainly' release at least some of his returns if he ran for the White House." ...Mitt's Facebook post  --NYT A1, "Donald Trump, Bucking Calls to Unite, Claims 'Mandate' to Be Provocative," by Patrick Healy and Maggie Haberman: "Mr. Trump, in a telephone interview, compared his candidacy to hit Broadway shows and championship baseball teams, saying that success begot success and that he would be foolish to change his behavior now. 'You win the pennant and now you're in the World Series - you gonna change? People like the way I'm doing.' ... 'In a Broadway theater, the best, the best, absolute best sale is called "word of mouth,"' said Mr. Trump, who once dabbled in theater producing. 'If people love a Broadway show, it's better than if you write a good review. Word of mouth is the No. 1 thing. And the word of mouth at my rallies is like, "You've got to go see it." And, you know, one person goes and they talk about it to 20 people."  DRIVING THE DAY: Trump-Ryan summit ... Milwaukee Journal Sentinel p. 1A, above fold, "Ryan support solid at home: But picture changes for speaker at national level," by Craig Gilbert (online: "Ryan support solid at home but national backlash could lurk over stance on Trump"): "Ryan was viewed favorably by 81% of Republican voters in his district and unfavorably by 12% in a late March poll by the Marquette University Law School. ... Trump was viewed favorably by 28% of those voters and unfavorably by 59%. ... "In a new poll by the Economist/YouGov, Trump is much more popular nationally than Ryan among Republican primary voters, the reverse of the pattern in Wisconsin." ... YouGov's Kathy Frankovic, "Nearly two-thirds of Republican primary voters think Ryan should endorse Trump"  --@LukeRussert: "Fair to say House #GOP Conference is divided into 3 factions- Always Trump, Sometimes Trump, Never Trump." --"Trump surges in support, almost even with Clinton in national U.S. poll," by Reuters' Chris Kahn: "As recently as last week, Clinton led Trump by around 13 points in the [Reuters/Ipsos] poll. In the most recent survey, 41 percent of likely voters supported Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, and 40 percent backed Trump, with 19 percent not decided on either yet."  VEEPSTAKES - "Donald Trump suggests Jan Brewer is on VP short list," by Arizona Republic's Yvonne Wingett Sanchez: "During an interview Wednesday with Fox News Channel's 'On the Record,' the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said Brewer, who left office in 2015 after serving six years as governor ...

TURNING BACK THE CLOCK -- MATT LATIMER in Politico, "6 Alternate Realities That Could Have Stopped Trump: If only we could go back in time tweak a few things, the GOP might be on a different path today": "Avert ABC's decision to put Chris Christie in New Hampshire debate ...

Give America's Founders a glimpse of the future."  DANA MILBANK, "Sarah Palin, the political mother of Trump": "[T]he likenesses go much deeper, between the candidates themselves and among the followers they've inspired: The attacks on the media. The demonization of a supposed 'establishment.' The huge and sometimes violent crowds. The prominent platforms given both candidates by Fox News. The racist responses among supporters. The paranoia about taking away guns. The suspicion of science. The scapegoating of Muslims. The portrayal of President Obama as something other than American."  MONEY HONEYS - "Unions prepare super PAC to take down Trump," by Brian Mahoney and Ken Vogel: "The super PAC is engineered by top officials at the AFL-CIO and three major public employee unions: the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees; the American Federation of Teachers; and the National Education Association. [The super PAC is also partnering with Tom Steyer's group, NextGen Climate.] ... Unions may opt in for $1 million ... The PAC's organizers aim to raise about $50 million by soliciting money from unions and liberal donors outside the labor movement. ... The PAC will be led by Paul Tewes."  2016 PLAYERS - "Sanders' California director leaves campaign," by Gabe Debenedetti: "Sanders' campaign parted ways with its California state director Michael Ceraso on Wednesday morning, 27 days before the primary in the state that Sanders has repeatedly said is crucial to his effort to capture the Democratic nomination. The surprise move came after a period when Ceraso advocated for a California strategy that involved more investment on field and digital organizing than on television advertising - a staple of Sanders' campaign elsewhere so far."  FIRST LOOK - Americans United for Change memo, "Analysis: Supreme Court Obstructionism + Trump Nomination = Good-Bye GOP Senate Majority": "[W]hat should really keep vulnerable Republicans up at night is the finding that 50% of voters say they'd be less likely to vote for a Senator who opposed having confirmation hearings, compared to only 18% who say that the obstructionist stance is the right stance. Swing-state Republican Senators who enable McConnell's nakedly political scheme to hand Trump the appointment might as well start checking the K Street want ads now."  HILL DRAMA -- "Harry Reid to Rep. Alan Grayson: 'I want you to lose,'" by Burgess Everett and Seung Min Kim: "Rep. Alan Grayson angrily confronted Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on Wednesday, disrupting a meeting of the Congressional Progressive Caucus in front of dozens of staffers and members of Congress. ... As each member took a turn to speak to Reid, it was Grayson's turn. He asked Reid if the Nevada senator knows who he is. After Reid answered in the affirmative, Grayson went on the attack. 'Say my name, senator. Say my name,' Grayson told Reid as Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) tried to shut the confrontation down. ... Grayson responded by angrily waving a printout of Reid's searing February quote that called on Grayson to drop out of the primary race against Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.). 'Why'd you say that?' Grayson said, insisting Reid's statement was false. Reid calmly faced his inquisitor: 'I want you to lose. It's true.'"  VALLEY TALK - "Sources: Feds taking second look at Google search," by Nancy Scola: "Federal Trade Commission officials are asking questions again about whether Google has abused its dominance in the Internet search market, a sign that the agency may be taking steps to reopen an investigation it closed more than three years ago ...

More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's and more than 15 million unpaid caregivers are providing care for a loved one. Alzheimer's is a national issue, and now it's time we make it a national priority. Alzheimer's yearly cost of $236 billion will quadruple to more than $1 trillion over the next generation - an epidemic we cannot afford and shouldn't accept. While it is the only leading cause of death that can't be prevented, cured or even slowed, research and medical advancement can change that. That's why the Alzheimer's Association is fighting to eliminate the disease through the advancement of research and providing care and support for all affected.

By Martine Powers | 05/18/2016 10:00 AM EDT With help from Lauren Gardner, Jennifer Scholtes, Kathryn A. Wolfe and Heather Caygle IN THE EXPRESS LANE: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to wrap up the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill by the end of this week - in alignment with the get-'er-done strategy he outlined last week as part of his mission to get back-to-back bills pushed through the Senate floor in quick succession. To that end, cloture was filed on Tuesday evening to the substitute and the underlying bill. Latest developments: Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) submitted an amendment Tuesday night that would combat changes to the controversial trucking hours-of-service rule, instead returning the regulations to the Obama Administration's previous 60-hour weekly driving limit. The Senate also passed a series of amendments by voice vote, including one by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) aimed at enabling airport runway repair projects, and another by Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) that addresses eligibility for federally-funded construction projects related to passenger rail. AT THE SAME TIME, House Republican appropriators unveiled their $58.2 billion draft fiscal 2017 spending bill for transportation and housing that offers 3 percent more federal dollars than the Senate counterpart. DOT would get a $540 million boost over current levels. Check out Lauren's story to parse out some of the numbers; in short, FAA, FRA, and Amtrak get roughly the same lump sum as what they received under the Senate version. Subcommittee Chairman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.): "This bill provides for our nation's transportation and housing needs, while making tough choices to protect hard-earned taxpayer dollars." Ranking Democrat David Price of North Carolina: "It's enough of an allocation to let us work on it cooperatively, and that's exactly what we've done." Keep on trucking: Two issues may become legislative sticking points, and they both have to do with trucking: One is the reappearance of the controversial provision on superseding state laws for meal and rest breaks for commercial truckers that nearly tanked the FAST Act and also reared its head during the House FAA bill process. Same problem, different solution: The other point of tension results from efforts to fix a drafting error in the fiscal 2016 omnibus on trucker rest breaks. The Senate came up with their own controversial add-on, and the House is tackling the problem, too - but it's got a different fix. "The House change ensures the 34-hour restart rule in effect before the Obama administration proposed new hours of service rules in 2011 would apply to commercial truckers," Lauren writes, "and it would prohibit regulators from enforcing two requirements the administration finalized in 2013." House T&I ranking Democrat Peter DeFazio said he wouldn't comment on whether he'd support the 73-hour cap contained in the Senate bill. "You know, I upon occasion work 82 hours a week, and you're getting pretty rummy by the end of 82 hours. And particularly something like truck driving? Not a great idea." IT'S WEDNESDAY: Good morning and thanks for tuning into POLITICO's Morning Transportation, your daily tipsheet on all things trains, planes, automobiles and ports. Happy Hump Day! Reach out: mpowers@politico.com or @martinepowers. "I know where I'm goin' and I know where I'm from ... Yeah we're at the airport out/D-Glock from the block where everybody air-forced out." 'IT'S NOT ABOUT CASTING BLAME': As the National Transportation Safety Board voted Tuesday to approve its final report on the Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia, member Bella Dinh-Zarr proposed to make the absence of positive train control a main probable cause - more than just a contributing factor as originally drafted. "The government and industry have not acted for decades on a well-known safety hazard," Dinh-Zarr said, suggesting that the NTSB is "limiting ourselves by this institutional inertia" and referring to the "linear and formulaic" way that probable cause is determined. "This isn't about casting blame. It's about how we as an agency can make the greatest difference," she said. No go: The rest of the board shot her down. "I don't see it as a causal factor," member Robert Sumwalt said. "Definitely had it been enforced, in place, this accident would not have occurred. But I don't think it was the spark that ignited this accident sequence." Final recommendations: Our own Kathy Wolfe has the rundown: The NTSB wants "the FRA to install devices and develop procedures that would help crews identify their locations in areas where PTC won't be active, to collect more data about the number of crew members in a cab during an accident. The board also reiterated the need for greater occupant protections, including restraints and strengthened windows. It also made several recommendations for improving initial and recurring training for crew multi-tasking in 'prolonged atypical situations.'" Reaction from FRA Administrator Sarah Feinberg: "While Congress has given railroads at least three more years to fully implement PTC, the public deserves it sooner. FRA will continue to do everything it can to ensure this life-saving technology is fully implemented as soon as possible." And from Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.): "The Senate is about to pass a bill that includes $200 million to implement PTC on more commuter railroads like Metro-North and I will keep fighting until it's operational on every passenger rail service in Connecticut and across the country." Freight's response: From AAR's Ed Greenberg: "Freight railroads have spent more than $6.5 billion on PTC. Final costs for PTC are estimated to be about $10.6 billion for freight railroads. This technology is not off-the shelf and isn't just about plugging in or turning on components. It is a complex step-by-step process, both in terms of safety, engineering and implementation. ... The freight rail industry remains on schedule at having PTC fully implemented across the country and in accordance with the extension passed by Congress." ** Presented by Norwegian Air: Affordable fares to Europe for every consumer - that's the vision of Norwegian. With an $18.5 billion order for new Boeing airplanes, not only does Norwegian support the American economy, it helps to create and support over 100,000 American jobs in the United States. Get the facts: openourskies.com ** TSA TROUBLESHOOTING: Trying to shrink checkpoint wait times this summer and beyond, TSA folks have been talking a lot about strategies to get more travelers to sign up for PreCheck. And Rep. John Katko (R-N.Y.) wants everybody to know he's got a bill (H.R. 2843) languishing in the Senate that would force the agency to work with private companies to try to get more people to sign up for PreCheck through advertising, online enrollment and kiosks. "As we head into Memorial Day weekend and a busy summer of travel, it is critical that the Senate unblock the bipartisan legislation that I've passed through the House so that we can make travel more efficient," Katko said in a written statement this week. Cuba airports up to snuff? Katko is also nervous about planned airline service to Cuba, set to start this summer. As our own Jennifer Scholtes reports, "House Republicans say initiating commercial air service from Cuba is a disaster waiting to happen, and accused the Obama administration of fast-walking flights to shore up the president's legacy. ... Obama administration officials publicly insist TSA has thoroughly scrutinized the 10 Cuban airports where flights may soon begin. ... But [Katko] says administration officials have told a different story behind closed doors, including warnings aboutoutdated screening equipment, 'mangy street dogs' on canine teams and insufficient vetting practices for aviation workers." KIRK: REDUCE TSA WAIT TIMES OR RESIGN: Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) is ratcheting up the rhetoric on TSA, declaring in a statement on Tuesday that serious administrative action should be taken if TSA doesn't soon get its act together and cut down average wait times. "If travelers do not have relief by Memorial Day, TSA Administration [Peter] Neffenger must resign and be replaced with a leader who can provide fast and secure screening," Kirk wrote, adding that the agency should immediately deploy bomb-sniffing dogs at Chicago Midway International Airport. THUNE ON TSA: #THANKSOBAMA: Asked about TSA's woes Tuesday, Senate Commerce Chairman John Thune said he and other lawmakers will "evaluate" whether there's a need for redirected funding - and also made it clear that he believes some of the fault lies with President Barack Obama. "Part of where we are is because the administration proposed cutting back - I mean, in their fiscal 16 budget, if you look at it, they proposed reducing about 1,700 people and $120 million, because they thought they could do it with less. I think they discovered that it's not the case, and a lot of the safety issues that were raised in some of these IG reports, other types of evaluations, I think have really pointed to the need for them to step up their game," Thune said. On the continued funding question, he added, "We have given them more money than they've asked for in each of the three last fiscal years ... so I suspect that we'll evaluate where they are, what they need, and they will get what they need to get the job done. TERRORIST MAG CAUSES CONCERN: Obama administration officials are worried about potential Al Qaeda threats to aviation, judging from their analysis of this month's issue of the terrorist group's English-language magazine. (Yes, Al Qaeda has a magazine.) The publication had a significant number of references to the act of taking down planes, Paul Fujimura, assistant administrator for the department's Office of Global Studies, told a House Homeland Security subcommittee. "It clearly articulates a focus from Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula on targeting aviation," Fujimura said. CLARIFICATION: Tuesday's MT did not clearly state why the White House threatened a veto on the THUD appropriations bill. The White House said it would veto the bill if it includes any "problematic ideological provisions that are beyond the scope of funding legislation." JENNY GETS THE BLOCK: The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA President Sara Nelson is calling for Jennifer Lopez - yes, that Jennifer Lopez - to cancel a scheduled appearance in Qatar, which the group says supports alleged civil rights violations committed by Qatar Airways.
