Neither of the two commercially available test kits approved by EPA to comply with the RRP rule meet the standard of less than 10 percent false positives. Of particular note from the meeting, a representative with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) said that the test kits were not reliable to detect the presence of lead paint. In its comments, NLBMDA pointed out the continued need for a test kit meeting the false positive standard, and encouraged EPA to reexamine the costs of the rule by doing a retrospective analysis of the data associated with RRP compliance over the last five years. Additionally, NLBMDA has reported that Rep. John Kline (RMN) agreed to cosponsor the bill on June 11. Rep. Kline brings the bill's total sponsors to 11. Rep. Kevin Cramer (RND) is the original sponsor of the bill and has been joined by Rep. Rod Blum (RIA) and Rep. Collin Peterson (DMN).

Disability is more common than you think. As long as you have the ability to earn an income, you are able to accumulate assets and provide for yourself and your family.

Consider these statistics: More than 10% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 have a disability. Nearly 90% of disabilities aren't work related and, therefore, don't qualify for workcomp benefits. 100 million Americans are not protected by private disability insurance. Owning a disability income insurance policy should be a necessity, like other insurance you have to protect other assets. For instance, you insure your home, car, and possessions don't neglect to protect the income that pays for them.

Acceleration IntersectionFrom Layman's Lumber Guide
After moving countercyclically lower through the winter, our lumber market appears to have made an early turn ahead of next week's FDP.If so, the intersection at weeks #25/26 will become an acceleration rather than a reversal. Expectations of July production curtailments are adding fuel. Dealers' unwillingness to buy speculatively is keeping the market frombecoming over bought and providing steady mill order flows. The threat of mortgage interest rate hikes will push builders to get all summer projects started on time, or even early. Brokers are expecting astrong June and have taken on speculative positions in preparation. So far, the spec wood is moving at a $510 discount to its replacementcost creating a definitive twotiered market. Interfor in Thomaston, GA has doubled its SYP production. Expect more Canadian owned U.S. mills to follow suit.
