National Under-17 Team in Team USA's 4-2 victory against Switzerland in a pre-tournament tilt on Wednesday afternoon at Monthey Arena
Team USA will start the 2016 Under-17 Four Nations Tournament on Friday with a matchup with Slovakia at 8:15 a.m
N.C.) tied the game with an unassisted goal at the 13:40 mark of the first period.
Giles gave team USA the lead at the 15:50 mark of the second period off a feed from Jonathan Gruden (Rochester
Mass.) tallied the eventual game-winning goal with just a minute to play in the second period
Giles picked up his second goal of the game at the 5:17 mark of the 3rd period
Tyler Weiss picked up his second point in the game by feeding a pass to Giles
Minn.) picked up the win for Team USA after allowing just two goals
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said on Friday that
he would begin to disclose some of what he described as “hospitality,” which came in the form of superyacht sojourns
It’s Thomas’ first statement since ProPublica published a blockbuster investigation Thursday revealing how the right-wing justice received largesse from a heavy hitting Republican donor without disclosing them
That included a 9-day yachting trip across the Indonesian archipelago
multiple trips to the donor’s private retreat in the Adirondacks
and trips on the companion’s private jet
took a similar line to Thomas in his responses to ProPublica: they fall under an exception for “hospitality,” meaning that disclosure was not required
Thomas used the word “friend” four times in the first three sentences of his statement
The Senate confirmed Thomas to replace retiring Justice Thurgood Marshall in 1991. In 2004, the LA Times published an investigation revealing that Harlan Crow had bestowed lavish gifts on Thomas
Thomas said in the statement however that he had received guidance early on from “my colleagues and others in the judiciary
and was advised that this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends
who did not have business before the Court
It’s not at all clear from the statement who provided the guidance
Thomas stopped reporting the Crow gifts after the paper’s 2004 story
follow new guidance issued by the federal judiciary
Harlan and Kathy Crow are among our dearest friends
and we have been friends for over twenty-five years
we have joined them on a number of family trips during the more than quarter century we have known them
I sought guidance from my colleagues and others in the judiciary
I have endeavored to follow that counsel throughout my tenure
and have sought to comply with the disclosure guidelines
as the committee of the Judicial Conference responsible for financial disclosure for the entire federal judiciary just this past month announced new guidance
my intent to follow this guidance in the future

ProPublica reported that Thomas had accepted luxury trips for more than two decades
including travel on a superyacht and private jet
from a prominent Republican donor without disclosing them
If only other people who broke the law could say that
We’ll know that he will follow the rules going forward
Because he is so famously open about the things that he does

Long ago ago hydroelectricity attracted energy intensive manufacturing to the canton of Valais
much of it along the banks of the Rhône river
synthetic fertiliser production and chemical manufacture
boosted the local economy but have also left a legacy of pollution that continues to affect the river and ground water in the canton
Pollution from these industries was poorly managed up until the end of 1970s when laws and practises changed
much of the pollution from this era remains
A recent RTS documentary reveals the scale of the problem
These substances continue to escape from chemical dumpsites along the river banks of the river Rhône
making their way into the river and ground water
of which around 4,000 risk polluting ground water
The canton of Valais is home 130 sites that require clean up including a number of large notable dumpsites
which include a park in Monthey contaminated with chrome and mercury
a waste dump in Sierre and a dumpsite the size of 40 football pitches in Gamsenried near Brig containing benzidine
contaminated soil is being sent to special facilities for decontamination and air is being injected into the ground to promote the growth of pollution-eating bacteria
soil tests at the former dumpsite revealed excess levels of chrome and mercury levels 10 times the tolerable limit
Currently there is no clear plan for cleaning up the site
The municipality is aiming to come up with a plan by 2022
The commune also has to deal with an even larger area of contamination where chemical manufacturers continue to operate that also affects ground water
the municipality of Ollon across the river from Monthey
drew its town water from ground water near the Rhône until it discovered the water contained levels of toxic substances above tolerable limits
the commune received CHF 5 million in compensation from the chemical industry
a small sum compared to the CHF 35 million cost of replacing the town’s water supply with water from higher altitudes
A key challenge is establishing responsibility and reaching agreement on who will pay for the clean up
It can be difficult to establish proof of events that took place long ago
Another site near Sierre contains toxic fluorine and arsenic from aluminium production in the 60s
is now on the hook for much of the cost of clean up and says the cost will bankrupt his company
Further up the valley is the huge waste dump at Gamsenried near Brig
Benzidine is toxic at very low levels of concentration and passes easily through the skin
The substance is associated with increased risk of bladder and pancreatic cancers
Efforts have been made to contain the substance
however it sometimes escapes into the ground water
contaminated water was pumped from the ground and released into the river without authorisation during the construction of river diversion
according to a former head of the environmental agency in Valais
Some have criticised chemical companies for knowingly ignoring the problem
The benzidine problem has been known for a decade
But chemical companies preferred to bury the fact
Another says that the dangers of the chemical were probably not fully understood at the time
Forter argues that large chemical companies have become wealthy off the back of a history of pollution and can easily afford the costs of clean up
The waste dump at Gamsenried would cost between CHF 1 and 1.5 billion to clean
the industry view isn’t aligned with Forter’s
Switzerland has become wealthy in large part from its success in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors
Companies that started manufacturing ordinary products like dyes and fertiliser have innovated their way to becoming global giants in the chemical and drug sectors
arguably hasn’t followed the same trajectory
As the ongoing political battle around who is responsible and who will have to pay continues
it seems that only minimal efforts and budgets are likely to be applied to the clean up of past waste
More on this:RTS report (in French) – Take a 5 minute French test now

So they need to pass a law to increase the tax on companies/products to pay for the clean up
Shocked to read this… in Switzerland??
