"Deloitte has agreed to a one-year suspension from doing consulting work for financial firms in the state of New York, after regulators criticised its work

New York's DFS found that the firm did not demonstrate the necessary autonomy required of consultants performing regulatory work.

When tasked by government agencies to undertake regulatory work at financial institutions, it is critical for these consultants to remain autonomous and avoid conflicts of interest"

Health as a HUMAN RIGHT
"Via Kim in Texas:
We were stupid, trusting, and uninformed....fast forward 6 years and 60 padsites of urban drilling later in Arlington TX, we’ve got asthma (two family members and a pet), my 16 year old had the rashes during “well completion 2 blocks from our home” and now has abnormal test results for biomarkers of an adrenal tumor.
My husband’s lymph nodes started swelling “during well completion” in January too and just finished chemo and starts radiation this summer.
Fight with all your might as the drillers have no $ incentive to mitigate airborne toxins near people. The social costs of medical bills will be unprecedented in benefiting a few top CEO's and those thinking they have mineral rights over everyone else’s water and air rights

United Nations: Eat more ants and grasshoppers to avoid starvation




“Imagine if we had a food system that actually produced wholesome food. Imagine if it produced that food in a way that restored the land. Imagine if we could eat every meal knowing these few simple things: What it is we’re eating. Where it came from. How it found its way to our table. And what it really cost. If that was the reality, then every meal would have the potential to be a perfect meal. We would not need to go hunting for our connection to our food and the web of life that produces it. We would no longer need any reminding that we eat by the grace of nature, not industry, and that what we’re eating is never anything more or less than the body of the world. I don’t want to have to forage every meal. Most people don’t want to learn to garden or hunt. But we can change the way we make and get our food so that it becomes food again—something that feeds our bodies and our souls. Imagine it: Every meal would connect us to the joy of living and the wonder of nature. Every meal would be like saying grace.” ~ Michael Pollan, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

Good Wednesday morning! We're reading about how President Obama will call for a dramatic reduction in nuclear arms in a speech at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate this morning, about how the House GOP leadership is holding a Hispanic outreach meeting a day after Speaker Boehner drew a hard line on immigration reform, and about how the FBI seems never to be wrong when its agents shoot someone under interrogation. What are you reading this morning?

Bernie Sanders
Today's news from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.):

Meals on Wheels: “One of the most effective programs devised to address the needs of vulnerable seniors is the Older Americans Act … [but] this vitally important program has been inadequately funded for years,” Sen. Bernie Sanders wrote in a Politico op-ed published Wednesday. The program that provides Meals on Wheels and other support for seniors “deserves not only to be fully reauthorized but to be expanded,” Sanders said. A subcommittee he chairs holds a hearing today on renewing the law first passed in 1965.

Student Loans: Sen. Sanders said a new report shows that the average student loan debt of college students in Vermont is higher than the amount in all but six other states. He said the study showed the need for legislation to prevent the doubling of interest rates to 6.8 percent next month on some Stafford student loans, The Associated Press reported. In a statement, the senator said "short term, we need to make certain rates don't go up this summer. Long term, we need to figure out a way to make college more affordable," WPTZ-TV reported.

NSA Surveillance: National Security Agency officials testified Tuesday on Capitol Hill about secret domestic surveillance programs. General Keith Alexander, the NSA director, claimed more than 50 attacks were stopped using the controversial surveillance programs. Sweeping up the telephone records of every innocent American goes too far, Sen. Sanders told MSNBC. "If they believe somebody is involved in terrorist activity, we want them to be able to go after that guy in any way they can, but you can't have a blanket system in which every single phone call in America is in the government file." On NBC Radio News, Sanders asked, “Are we comfortable with the government having that much information. I think most Americans are not.”

VA Claims Backlog: The VA announced that the amount of time veterans must wait to receive benefits is decreasing, but members of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs – especially Chairman Sanders and Sen. Richard Blumenthal – seemed skeptical, according to the news blog PolicyMic.
