Posted on: July 14, 2021Roosevelt Island to Unveil New Memorial Honoring FDR Ahead of the ADA’s 31st Anniversary A testimonial to the former U.S. President, the memorial will be a tribute to diversity and inclusion Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation (RIOC) and the Roosevelt Island Disabled Association (RIDA) announced plans to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with the unveiling of the FDR Hope Memorial, an immersive work of art commemorating former U.S. president and disability advocate, Franklin D. Roosevelt. “We're proud to be able to add this experiential work to our robust offering of progressive art and it’s an honor to unveil such a significant and symbolic statue here on Roosevelt Island,” said Shelton J. Haynes, President & CEO of RIOC. “We are reminded every day, by our island’s name, that we have a legacy to uphold by continuing to represent how inclusion and diversity can prosper in New York.”  Located in a peaceful alcove in Roosevelt Island’s Southpoint Park, the memorial features two bronze figures depicting a meeting between FDR, in a wheelchair of his design, reaching out to greet a young girl who is also disabled by polio. The figures are set directly on a plaza of engraved granite in the shape of the Oval Office, surrounded by inclusive benches and inscribed pavers that document social progress in the treatment of disabled people. “People are not defined by their disability, said Wendy Hersh, President of RIDA. “We at RIDA believe that anyone with any disability should strive to reach their goal and are able to reach their full potential – enabled, not disabled!”
Internal Revenue Bulletin: 2008-12 | Internal Revenue Service
However, the U.S.-X Treaty also provides that such premiums are not exempt to the extent that the risks covered by such premiums are reinsured with a foreign reinsurer not entitled to the benefits of a treaty that provides an exemption from insurance excise taxes. Therefore, because the risks are reinsured with Foreign Reinsurer, who is not entitled to the benefits of a treaty that provides an exemption from insurance excise taxes, the insurance premiums received by Foreign Insurer from U.S. Corporation are subject to the four-percent excise tax as of the date the reinsurance premiums are paid by Foreign Insurer to Foreign Reinsurer. In addition, premiums paid by Foreign Insurer to Foreign Reinsurer on the policies of reinsurance covering contracts described in section 4371(1) are subject to the one-percent excise tax imposed by section 4371(3), because Foreign Reinsurer is a resident of Country Y, which has an income tax treaty with the United States that does not exempt insurance premiums from the excise taxes imposed by section 4371. Situation 4 In Situation 4, the insurance premiums paid by U.S. Corporation on the policies of casualty insurance issued by Foreign Insurer are exempt from the section 4371(1) excise tax after application of the U.S.-Z Treaty because Foreign Insurer satisfies the requirements of the limitation on benefits provision of the U.S.-Z Treaty and the policies were not entered into as part of a conduit arrangement. However, the premiums paid by Foreign Insurer to Foreign Reinsurer on the policies of reinsurance issued by Foreign Reinsurer are subject to the one-percent excise tax imposed by section 4371(3), because Foreign Reinsurer is a resident of Country Y, which has an income tax treaty with the United States that does not exempt insurance premiums from the excise taxes imposed by section 4371. The fact that the original insurance premiums paid by U.S. Corporation to Foreign Insurer are exempt from tax after application of the U.S.-Z Treaty does not preclude imposition of the excise tax under section 4371(3) on premiums paid by Foreign Insurer to Foreign Reinsurer.

Overview
Our Corporate Governance team is part of Global Equity, which is the largest asset class within the CalPERS investment portfolio. As an investor in public companies, we have certain rights that allow us to influence how our portfolio companies are managed and governed. We exercise these rights through proxy voting, corporate engagements, and shareowner campaigns.
We work to ensure that the public companies we invest in are managed to generate long-term, sustainable investment returns consistent with our Total Fund Investment Policy (PDF, 14.5 MB) and Investments Beliefs. Our corporate governance activities are an integral part of managing our Global Equity portfolio in the best interests of our members.
We do this through the following work:

Engagements with our public portfolio companies. We engage our portfolio companies to encourage them to consider how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities affect their ability to create value over the long-term.

Nine companies have been selected to conduct early-stage studies of concepts for commercial services to support lower-cost, higher-frequency missions to the Red Planet.
NASA has identified nine U.S. companies to perform a total of 12 concept studies of how commercial services can be applied to enable science missions to Mars. Each awardee will receive between $200,000 and $300,000 to produce a detailed report on potential services — including payload delivery, communications relay, surface imaging, and payload hosting — that could support future missions to the Red Planet.
The companies were selected from among those that responded to a Jan. 29 request for proposals from U.S. industry.
NASA’s Mars Exploration Program initiated the request for proposals to help establish a new paradigm for missions to Mars with the potential to advance high-priority science objectives. Many of the selected proposals center on adapting existing projects currently focused on the Moon and Earth to Mars-based applications.
They include “space tugs” to carry other spacecraft to Mars, spacecraft to host science instruments and cameras, and telecommunications relays. The concepts being sought are intended to support a broad strategy of partnerships between government, industry, and international partners to enable frequent, lower-cost missions to Mars over the next 20 years.
“We’re in an exciting new era of space exploration, with rapid growth of commercial interest and capabilities,” said Eric Ianson, director of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program.

Overview
Our vision is a safe, prepared, and resilient New York State
In response to the May 2022 domestic terror attack at a supermarket in Buffalo, NY, Governor Hochul issued Executive Order 18, which established the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Unit and required every county and the City of New York to develop and maintain plans to identify and confront domestic terrorism threats.
Making Sense of Amazon Deforestation Patterns
“Parts of Mato Grosso feel like you’re in the middle of Iowa—huge fields, straight roads, and completely mechanized operations,” said Matt Hansen, a remote sensing scientist at the University of Maryland. Such landscapes have turned Brazil into the world’s largest exporter of soy, most of which now gets shipped to China.
The transition between the government-directed settlements of the 1970s and the free-market development patterns that followed is particularly pronounced around Itaituba, a town along the Tapajos River in Para. The area was originally targeted for federal colonization, which gave rise to fishbone deforestation south of the river (upper left of first image).
But when the government withdrew financial support, a power vacuum led to a free-for-all north of the river (upper right of first image). Loggers, land grabbers, small farmers, and ranchers all competed for new territory as they followed old logging roads that radiated outward from the town. As loggers and miners pushed into undeveloped parts of the forest, they built roads that generally followed the natural contours of the land and formed curving, dendritic shapes (lower left of first image).

July 4, 2000 - July 16, 2019

The sequence of natural-color Landsat images above highlights deforestation playing out between 2000-2019 around BR-163, a key highway in Para first built in 1976 but only completely paved in 2019. It links soy-growing areas in the southern Amazon rainforest with an ocean-going port on the Amazon River.
“It is an interesting area because the regional economy was fueled by a gold rush in the 1980s,” explained Arima, noting that the main mining areas are along streams west of the highway. People who got wealthy from gold typically invested in ranching, which caused deforested areas to spread quickly near the highway.
One of the key things to understand about deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, Arima noted, is that a large fraction of the rainforest is unclaimed, state-owned land, or terras devolutas.

Marin County
Trout fishing in Marin County is available primarily in reservoirs stocked by CDFW with catchable trout.

Streams and Rivers

Walker Creek: Both steelhead and salmon are found in this stream, which is open to fishing only below Highway 1 and with limitations (see current regulations). Coho salmon are stocked by the Coho Recovery Program and cannot be targeted. Other streams in the county are generally closed to the public. There is public fishing access near the mouth, at Keys Creek along Highway One, south of the town of Tomales.
Kent Lake Tributaries: This section of Lagunitas Creek, between Kent Lake and Alpine Lake, is only open to fishing between the end of April and middle of November. It offers trout fishing but is difficult to access. Anglers must walk down from Alpine Dam, where parking is limited.

Lakes and Reservoirs

Alpine Lake: 224 acres. This lake is located about five miles west of Fairfax off Bolinas Road. No boats or wading are permitted.
Bon Tempe Lake: 140 acres. This lake is located about three miles west of Fairfax off Bolinas Road and Sky Oaks Road. It is stocked with catchable trout between October and May. A parking fee is charged by the Marin Municipal Water District. No boats or wading permitted.
Kent Lake: 460 acres. Kent Lake is located about two miles west of the town of Lagunitas off of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard. There is very limited parking along Sir Francis Drake; from there you must walk in to the lake. No boats or wading permitted.
Lagunitas Lake: 22 acres.

The 2023-24 California Spending Plan: Judiciary and Criminal Justice
This closure is the result of legislation included in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 budget packages, which realigned responsibility for DJJ youths from the state to the counties.
Health Care. The budget provides various augmentations related to correctional health care. Some of the major adjustments include the following:

$96.9 million one-time General Fund for COVID-19 response and mitigation-related activities, such as testing and overtime for staff.

$27.7 million one-time net increase for contract medical expenses, such as for specialty medical care provided outside of prison, private ambulance transportation, and nursing and pharmacy registries. This net increase results from a $39.8 million General Fund increase offset by a $12.1 million reduction in federal reimbursement authority.

$16.2 million ongoing General Fund to increase the number of toxicology tests per patient receiving medication assisted treatment through the Integrated Substance Use Disorder Treatment Program from ten tests per year to 14 per year.

$15 million ongoing General Fund to maintain the Employee Health Program. In addition to its focus on COVID-19, the program will begin focusing on mitigating diseases among employees such as tuberculosis, Hepatitis B, and influenza.

$14.9 million General Fund in 2023-24 (generally increasing to $20.7 million annually beginning in 2025-26) to expand CDCR’s tele-mental health services and to increase the number of regional staff that provide oversight for mental health services.

$8.4 million net decrease in 2023-24 (generally growing to $11.7 million annually beginning in 2027-28) related to the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) Justice-Involved Initiative, which seeks to provide targeted Medi-Cal services to eligible people 90 days prior to release from prison. This net decrease results from a $21.8 million decrease in reimbursement authority in 2023-24 (increasing to $40.5 million by 2027-28 and ongoing) offset by a $13.4 million General Fund augmentation in 2023-24 (increasing to $28.8 million annually by 2027-28 and ongoing).
