&lt;span class=&quot;ng_subhead&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0c343d;&quot;&gt;Commissioner
 George Howard, CEO at Restoration Systems, a Raleigh company that 
restores wetlands and habitats, said he was surprised by the turn of 
events, but hardly distressed by the situation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0c343d;&quot;&gt;Indeed, Howard, 
who chairs the commission’s Environmental Standards Committee, said he 
considers the alternate proposal – to disclose chemicals but not amounts
 – an improvement over the draft rule his committee approved in March.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0c343d;&quot;&gt;“I look at it as a list of ingredients versus the recipe,” Howard said.            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In addition, her political philosophy and economic policies emphasised &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deregulation&quot;&gt;deregulation&lt;/a&gt; (particularly of the financial sector),&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_market_flexibility&quot;&gt;flexible labour markets&lt;/a&gt;, the denationalisation of state-owned corporations, and the withdrawal of subsidies to others. Benazir Bhutto&#39;s popularity waned amid recession, corruption, and high unemployment which later led to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_Amendment_to_the_Constitution_of_Pakistan&quot;&gt;dismissal&lt;/a&gt; of her government by conservative &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Pakistan&quot;&gt;President&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghulam_Ishaq_Khan&quot;&gt;Ghulam Ishaq Khan&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1993, Benazir Bhutto was re-elected for a second term after the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistani_general_election,_1993&quot;&gt;1993 parliamentary elections&lt;/a&gt;. She survived an attempted&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_Pakistani_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat_attempt&quot;&gt;coup d&#39;état in 1995&lt;/a&gt;, and her hard line against the trade unions and tough rhetorical opposition to her domestic political rivals and to neighbouring India earned her the nickname &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Lady&quot;&gt;Iron Lady&lt;/a&gt;&quot;;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benazir_Bhutto#cite_note-19950601DawnWireService-3&quot;&gt;[3]&lt;/a&gt; she was also respectfully referred to as &quot;B.B.&quot; In 1996, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_charges_against_Benazir_Bhutto&quot;&gt;charges of corruption&lt;/a&gt; levelled against her led to the final dismissal of her government by President &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farooq_Leghari&quot;&gt;Farooq Leghari&lt;/a&gt;. Benazir Bhutto conceded her defeat in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistani_general_election,_1997&quot;&gt;1997 Parliamentary elections&lt;/a&gt; and went into self-imposed exile in &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai&quot;&gt;Dubai&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates&quot;&gt;United Arab Emirates&lt;/a&gt; in 1998.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After nine years of self-exile, she returned to Pakistan on 18 October 2007, after having reached an understanding with President &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pervez_Musharraf&quot;&gt;Pervez Musharraf&lt;/a&gt;, by whom she was granted &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Reconciliation_Ordinance&quot;&gt;amnesty&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and all corruption charges were withdrawn. Benazir Bhutto was&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Benazir_Bhutto&quot;&gt;assassinated&lt;/a&gt; in a bombing on 27 December 2007, after leaving PPP&#39;s last rally in the city of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rawalpindi&quot;&gt;Rawalpindi&lt;/a&gt;, two weeks before the scheduled &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistani_general_election,_2008&quot;&gt;2008 general election&lt;/a&gt; in which she was a leading opposition candidate. The following year, she was named one of seven winners of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Prize_in_the_Field_of_Human_Rights&quot;&gt;United Nations Prize in the Field of Human Rights&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benazir_Bhutto#cite_note-4&quot;&gt;[4]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Physics wunderkind Taylor Wilson astounded the science world when, at age 14, he became the youngest person in history to produce fusion. The University of Nevada-Reno offered a home for his early experiments when Wilson’s worried parents realized he had every intention of building his reactor in the garage.

Wilson now intends to fight nuclear terror in the nation&#39;s ports, with a homemade radiation detector priced an order of magnitude lower than most current devices.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;In 2012, Wilson&#39;s dreams received a boost when he became a recipient of the $100,000 Thiel Prize. Wilson now intends revolutionize the way we produce energy, fight cancer, and combat terrorism using nuclear technology.
&quot;Kenneth asked a nuclear-pharmacist friend to come over to check on Taylor’s safety practices. As far as he could tell, the friend said, the boy was getting it right. &quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Profile and playlist of songs...</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;George Glenn Jones (12 September 1931 – 26 April 2013) was an American country music singing legend known for his long list of hit records, his distinctive voice and phrasing, and his marriage to Tammy Wynette. For the last 20 years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill C. Malone writes, &quot;For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved.&quot; Waylon Jennings expressed a common jealousy in his song &quot;It&#39;s Alright&quot;: &quot;If we all could sound like we wanted to, we&#39;d all sound like George Jones.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Throughout his long career, Jones made headlines often as much for his drinking, stormy relationships with women, and violent rages as for his prolific career of making records and touring. His wild lifestyle led to Jones missing many performances, earning him the nickname &quot;No Show Jones.&quot; With the help of his fourth wife, Nancy, he was mostly sober from the mid 1980s until his death in 2013. Jones had more than 150 hits during his career, both as a solo artist and in duets with other artists. The shape of his nose and facial features gave Jones the nickname &quot;The Possum.&quot; Jones said in an interview that he chose to tour only about 60 dates a year.

To put it mildly, the man is a big fan. “The Next Day is the unlikeliest masterpiece of the recent popular song, the best album by an otherwise retired classic rock artist in many, many years,” he writes in his introduction. “It kicks the shit out of that recent spate of albums by Neil Young and Crazy Horse, it is better than anything the Stones did since Tattoo You (which is mainly good because of Sonny Rollins anyhow), better than anything Van Morrison has done since Avalon Sunset, better than anything Dylan has done since Time Out of Mind, better than anything Brian Ferry has done since Mamouna (19 years ago), better than anything Joni Mitchell has done since Mingus, better than anything Jimi Hendrix has done since Electric Ladyland, better than anything Elvis Costello has done since Blood and Chocolate, better than anything Paul McCartney has done since Run Devil Run, better than anything associated with the Who since Who By Numbers.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;Now the bigger question: do these 42 words mean that Bowie is gradually stepping back into the public sphere? Might he give us a few sentences next time? Maybe even a whole paragraph, or possibly an interview? How about some sort of performance? A concert? A tour? We shall see what comes, but these are 42 more words from Bowie than we had yesterday.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;

In 2012, they finally had three days off at the same time and recorded Buddy &amp;amp; Jim, a collection of duets. Here, they play selections from the record and close with the first song they ever wrote together, &quot;Hole in My Head,&quot; which was recorded by the Dixie Chicks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.npr.org/artists/126174490/buddy-miller&quot;&gt;Buddy Miller&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.npr.org/artists/16295727/jim-lauderdale&quot;&gt;Jim Lauderdale&lt;/a&gt; perform on Mountain Stage, recorded live at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, W.Va. Friends for more than three decades, the two had been trying to record an album together for many years. Finally, in 2012, they managed to arrange three days off at the same time. The result isBuddy &amp;amp; Jim, a collection of duets. The two wrote original songs for the project and selected a few covers like &quot;The Train That Carried My Gal From Town,&quot; which was originally popularized by West Virginian Frank Hutchison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here, Miller and Lauderdale close their set with &quot;Hole in My Head,&quot; the first song they wrote together years ago; it was famously covered by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.npr.org/artists/15399450/dixie-chicks&quot;&gt;Dixie Chicks&lt;/a&gt; on the hit album Fly. Lauderdale plays acoustic guitar during this set, while Miller plays lead on his obscure Italian Wandre electric — a task he&#39;s routinely called upon to perform by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.npr.org/artists/14874232/emmylou-harris&quot;&gt;Emmylou Harris&lt;/a&gt; and, most recently, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.npr.org/artists/14948832/robert-plant&quot;&gt;Robert Plant&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14.399999618530273px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666;&quot;&gt;The offseason has been a testament to the status quo. The Panthers kept the head coach, promoted the quarterback coach to offensive coordinator and hired a general manager who made no changes to the personal department, or waves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14.399999618530273px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666;&quot;&gt;So make some.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14.399999618530273px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666;&quot;&gt;Of course Carolina has greater needs than a receiver. But there’s not a roster in the NFL without flaws. Good teams compensate by imposing their strengths, their style of play. The more you score, the less fearsome your defense has to be. Defensive tackles will be available in the second round, too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14.399999618530273px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666;&quot;&gt;Imagine. The Panthers break huddle; Smith lines up left, Austin in the slot, Brandon LaFell right, Olsen inside.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14.399999618530273px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666;&quot;&gt;What’s Newton doing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14.399999618530273px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Gruden even compared Glennon, in size and arm strength, to Flacco, the Super Bowl MVP.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
“Yeah, I was definitely happy to see him win it all,” Glennon said in an interview Monday.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Glennon started the past two seasons for the Wolfpack and threw for 4,031 yards (second in school history to Philip Rivers) and 31 touchdowns in 2012.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;The cofounder of the popular social news site Reddit has called on the leaders of Google, Facebook and Twitter to help defeat a controversial cybersecurity bill that would compromise the privacy of their users if passed by lawmakers.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333015441895px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;“I’m hoping that all of these tech companies take the stand that their privacy policies matter, their users’ privacy matters, and no legislation like CISPA should take that away,” Alexis Ohanian, former owner of Reddit (Wired’s parent company Conde Nast currently owns Reddit), said in a video posted yesterday. &amp;nbsp;”If someone wants access to our private home or to our mail we would say, Well go get a warrant. Right? CISPA basically says, uh, not necessary. Your digital privacy is irrelevant.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The full project should last 15 years. During the first five-year phase of the project, RTI experts will work with AusAID to develop the capacity of Indonesian research organizations in the areas of health, education and poverty reduction.&lt;/div&gt;

Specifically, they will look to make the economy as a whole work better. Indonesia is the fourth-most populous country in the world, and its economy is feeling those growth pains. RTI researchers will help develop better macro-economic policies to drive the country’s economy forward.&lt;/div&gt;
