Business & EconomyBanking on West Bank prosperity Despite the precarious economic situation, Palestinians are increasingly taking out large loans for luxury items. Dalia Hatuqa | 12 Sep 2013 17:30 GMT | Business & Economy, US & Canada, France, Israel, Japan Through an influx of donor cash, many Palestinians are living in a culture of debt dependency [AFP]Ramallah, Occupied West Bank - Hani Daqqa says he is under no illusions that the Palestinian economy is in a volatile state. But that did not stop him from taking out two loans over the past three years to buy an apartment in the West Bank city of Ramallah. For many Palestinians such as Daqqa, this has become the norm: taking out hefty sums from the bank to either finance a mortgage or buy a car, furniture or electrical appliances. For Daqqa, who works in the HR department of a Palestinian investment company, the choice was either to dish out a monthly sum on rent, or take the plunge into debt and become the owner of a three-bedroom flat. The result was taking out two loans - the first of which comprised 52 percent of his monthly income. "I was either going to spend $600 every month on renting a place or spend $1,200 over the next 10 years," Daqqa said. "Yes, I knew it would be tough, but I also knew I'd own my apartment by the end of that period." Between Daqqa's steady work and his wife's occasional contractual jobs, the family says it has adapted to its financial situation, even though some experts would argue this kind of debt is beyond what's manageable. "I know the country is in a precarious position," Daqqa said. "But as long as I'm able to work, then I figure I should be fine." Debt disables the most educated, most competent sector from being active critical members of their own society, because they are indebted to a system that is not in their own interest. - Nora Lester Murad, founder of Dalia Association Twenty-years ago, when the Oslo Accords were inked between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Israel, it was practically unheard of for Palestinians to take out mortgages, let alone personal loans for household appliances or luxury vehicles. Bank regulations were stringent and included, among many other prerequisites, securing several co-signers to ensure the loan was paid off. Debt mostly consisted of personal loans given out among friends and family members, or included opening a "tab" at the local supermarket. "There was no trend to take out loans back then," Daqqa said. "No one was even buying houses that much." But today some West Bank cities are overrun with flashy new cars and middle-class Palestinians are up to their ears in personal debt, courtesy of easy-to-receive mortgages and consumer loans made available in recent years. According to the Palestine Monetary Fund, which effectively serves as the Palestinian central bank, individual loans shot up to about a billion dollars in 2013 - up from about US$494 million in 2009. This reality is especially jarring in Ramallah, the West Bank city wrapped in relative privilege compared to other Palestinian area, especially the Gaza Strip. The international donor community has pumped vast amounts of money into this city, effectively creating an economic bubble - complete with an American-style lending system alien to Palestinian culture - which many fear could burst, taking the entire Palestinian economy down with it. Prosperity and peace Economists attribute this new culture of debt dependency to an increase in consumer credit and the pouring in of donor cash. For months, US Secretary of State John Kerry has talked about the development of the West Bank as key to bringing about peace between Palestinians and Israelis. During a trip to the Dead Sea in May, Kerry unveiled a $4 billion economic development proposal in the hopes that money being injected into this volatile area would boost the chance of reaching a settlement between the parties involved. The idea of aid-for-peace is not new. Since the Oslo Accords were signed two decades ago, Palestinians have been given $4 billion worth of assistance by the US government, in addition to hand-outs from Europe, Gulf countries, Japan and others, making them "among the world's largest per capita recipients of international foreign aid". Consumerism has taken over the West Bank, which is something that doesn't go with the low income levels here. - Basem Makhoul, economist The Palestinian Authority (PA) has backed this relatively new loan system by supporting banks with much more lax lending requirements, and with that, many Palestinians are now turning to banks for loans that can be paid off in monthly instalments for up to up 25 years. Daqqa, apprehensive about the high interest rate, plans to pay off his mortgage in about 10 years. "I don't want to wait for two decades and pay an exorbitant amount of money just in interest," he said. "It doesn't make sense economically, so I'll have to live with this kind of financial responsibility for now." Risk-averse banks also have started targeting Palestinians because, loathe to provide loans for agricultural or industrial purposes, they prefer to dish them out to individuals. But whatever the risk factor, the Palestinian economy remains volatile, working within the confines of Israeli military rule that controls movement, border points and resources. Unemployment in the occupied territories is 23.9 percent, and the PA's deficit stands at 607 million NIS ($170mn) this year, compared with 490 million NIS ($115mn) in the same period last year. In 2006, international donors suspended aid when talk of a unified government including Hamas surfaced. Last year, after the PA's successful bid to gain non-member observer state status at the UN General Assembly, Israel retaliated by withdrawing tax funds it normally collects on behalf of the Palestinians, causing a crisis that led to mass protests across the territories. As part of the Oslo agreement, Israel and the Palestinians signed what's known as the Paris protocol, which outlined the economic relationship between the two and included an understanding that Israel would collect taxes (on goods and people traveling through Israeli-controlled borders) and transfer them to the PA. Bank crash? If a suspension of foreign aid was to happen again, banks that give out mortgage loans are particularly vulnerable. A Palestinian woman walks the separation wall [Getty Images] "This is because there is no mechanism in place to ensure that the financial institutions can foreclose on property when homebuyers cannot meet their mortgage payments," said Basem Makhoul, an economist. "There has never been one case of a foreclosure in Palestine; it's practically unheard of. These particular loans also have very limited benefits. Their ability to boost job creation is low and even the production inputs [the materials used for building] are imported, so their benefits are minimal at best." Some say aid has transformed Palestinian society so drastically that it now promotes inequality and conflict among people. "People begin to live beyond their means," said Nora Lester Murad, a founder of Dalia Association, a Palestinian community foundation. "Debt disables the most educated, most competent sector from being active critical members of their own society, because they are indebted to a system that is not in their own interest," Murad said. "An elite class is created, one that no longer works collectively on a national level, but starts to work individually on an economic level." Makhoul said he believes this increase in personal loans - heralded by the abundance of aid - reflects a kind of consumerism not seen before in the territories. "Consumerism has taken over the West Bank, which is something that doesn't go with the low income levels here," Makhoul said. "This consumerism falsely suggests that we live in a rich country and creates a facade of normality. It's like that saying: 'We have the salaries of Somalia but we spend like we live in France.' This has been happening in the last 20 years, and obviously it's the donor money that has precipitated this phenomenon." Follow Dalia Hatuqa on Twitter: @daliahatuqaSource: Al Jazeera

Hello 2089! A New Year at New Palin
By Dave Coulter
Well it's fixing up to be another Happy New Year at New Palin. Of course the calendar and seasons on Mars are kinda relative. Our longer orbit, you know, screws us up something terrible. We generally follow along the Earth calendar (hence the New Year's greeting) which helps the missus keep up with everyone's birthdays and such. If you ask me the tomato crop acts like it's late summer.
2088 was quite a busy year for us. New Palin now boasts a population of over 1500 residents. Most of us, as you know, are senior citizens, and the population is only increased when the shuttles deliver a new crop to replace those who have passed on. We usually lose about 15 a year, and NASA says that for now well get 25 a year.
Of course the Chinese have been handing us our lunch (as well as our tomatoes, I say!) in the Martian land race. Their quadrant has eight colonies with a total population around 70,000. Their garden domes are a marvel to behold. They're growing amazing things we hear, but we're not allowed to visit yet. Relations are a little frosty, you know, but you have to admit that the 21st century was theirs for the taking. The admins here are always saying that the USA is the Greatest Country on Earth. The missus and I would like to believe that, but Frank says we're about as grand as Portugal - only without a single decent soccer team.
Speaking of frost we're always seeing on the computer that winters on Earth are nothing at all like they used to be. For instance it hasn't snowed in Chicago since what , 2010, I think it was. Who knew that freak New Years thunderstorm would melt some of the last snow anyone would see for seven decades? You know the kids, they study that storm now in schools I hear. It's famous I guess. It's a benchmark for when seasons were still kinda normal.
Well I guess seasons change but traditions hang on. The NASA admins here at New Palin are always comparing our colony to the state of Alaska. Whenever the garden teams meet they say, "you're pioneers", and "you're rugged individualists", and the like. When they built the cafeteria, we voted to paint murals of assorted meadows and forests (the missus and her friends are great painters you know!) but instead they gave us a giant wallpaper picture of Mount Denali. I mean, we know they're trying to make a point, but most of us - save for those admins - are from the lower 48.
So maybe in 2089 we'll at least get the cafeteria painted. It could use an updating. Even Mount Denali, Frank snickered, could use a facelift. Why, she hasn't had snow on her flanks since 2054 and she's now as green as the broccoli in a Chinese hothouse.

Actor Jackky Bhagnani along with his family has taken off to Hong Kong to celebrate New Year.
If rumours are to be believed 'Youngistaan', starring Jackky Bhagnani and Neha Sharma has been sent to Oscars as an independent entry from India for the 'Best Foreign Language Film' category.
'Youngistan' actor Jackky Bhagnani has gone viral on the micro blogging site Twitter, when he made a major typo error in his tweet to congratulate the recent Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai.
Vashu Bhagnani and debutant director Syed Ahmad Afzal have much to rejoice about.
Jackky Bhagnani and Neha Sharma visited the Siddhivinayak temple here to thank god for the success of their film 'Youngistaan'.
You have to hand it to this film for making an effort to be `headline-ish` without toppling over with the temperament of topicality.
The new dance number from Jackky Bhagnani and Neha Sharma`s `Youngistan` is out on YouTube.
Jackky Bhagnani is playing a politician in `Youngistaan`, but his role is not modeled on Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi.
Since making his debut in 2009 with "Kal Kissne Dekha", Jackky Bhagnani has done just a handful of films. He says it`s not because he is choosy, but because he wants to be taken seriously as an actor by the audience.
Jackky Bhagnani, seen in films like `F.A.L.T.U` and `Ajab Gazabb Love`, pins his hopes on his forthcoming film `Youngistaan`
Actor Jackky Bhagnani has released the first trailer of his forthcoming film `Youngistaan` and is eagerly waiting for people`s reaction to it.
Young Bollywood actor Jackky Bhagnani says his upcoming film `Youngistan`, a "common love story set in uncommon premise", is aimed at the country`s youth.
Jackky Bhagnani is said to be busy flying from one country to another, all for work!
Filmmaker Priyadarshan is not much into item songs. When an item song was brought into his last Hindi release 'Tezz', he had rebelled against the producer, Ratan Jain and disowned the product.
Way back, Tina Turner sang "What`s love got to do with it?"
Vashu Bhagnani feels buying the rights of 'Gangnam style' was worth it.
Jackky Bhagnani feels its not a curse to be a star kid and does not consider anyone falling in this category to be a competitor.
Vashu Bhagnani says he was initially sceptical about his son Jackky playing a realistic role in 'Rangrezz' but director Priyadarshan convinced him and now he is happy with the decision.
Jackky Bhagnani launched the Indian Gangnam style song for his film 'Rangrezz' in Dharavi, one of Asia`s largest slums.
Actor Jackky Bhagnani has been signed for an action-comedy to be produced by his father Vashu Bhagnani.

Born in 1960 in Newark, New Jersey, Todd Solondz grew up very much the eccentric loner type, a character often depicted in his movies.He took an early interest in filmmaking and duly enrolled in NYU's prestigious film school. Based on the caliber of the student shorts he made, he was offered three-picture deals with a couple of Hollywood studios.
However, his debut film, 1989's Fear, Anxiety and Depression, was a disappointment.1995's Welcome to the Dollhouse was at times a humorous and painful look at one lonely outcast girl. The film won the 1996 Grand Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Solondz followed that up with 1998's Happiness, a dark comedy about a pedophile.

In the brave new world of cloud computing, what is the secret to building great companies? That is the question that will be answered by technology visionary Roman Stanek in his Opening Keynote at SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Expo Europe next week in Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. In the meantime, we bring you here a brief round-up of Stanek's achievements 1997-2009. In reverse order...
May 18, 2009 - Stanek will deliver his keynote in Prague, "Building Great Companies on the Cloud."
April 23, 2009 - Good Data closes a $2.5M Series B round of financing from Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, OATV and General Catalyst, bringing the total now raised to approx $4.5M. Still everything is done through Amazon Web Services, in the cloud.
March 4, 2008 - After a year in stealth development, Stanek and his latest team unveil Good Data Corporation - purveyor of a complete, on-demand business intelligence platform combining analytics, reporting, data warehousing and data integration. Its primary focus is collaborative analytics and Stanek's vision is to use the cloud 100%, so that Goog Data will never need to own a single server. "We believe that sharing and teamwork will allow our users to move past isolated reports and arrive at the true meaning of 'business intelligence.'" Stanek writes in his blog.
January 2006: Systinet is sold to Mercury Interactive/HP for $105M. "We believe that SOA is the next big shift in IT," says Mercury's SVP of Strategy, Zohar Gilad. "It's definitely becoming the next big shift in IT," he adds.
2004: Stepping down from his CEO post at Systinet, Stanek becomes instead the company's Chief Strategy Officer, splitting his time between its U.S. and European operations.
2000: Stanek founds Systinet, with a primary focus on Java development.
1999 - San Jose, CA: NetBeans is bought by Sun Microsystems for $10M.
1997 - Prague, Czech Republic: While studying at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University in Prague, Roman Stanek and some fellow students begin a project known as Xelfi. Later Stanek forms a company around the project and produces commercial versions of what then becomes knows as the NetBeans IDE.
Next week not only Stanek but also Cloud Computing and Virtualization are going to be center stage, 18-19 May, at the Prague Hilton as the Czech Republic plays host to Cloud Computing Expo Europe 2009, co-located with Virtualization Conference Europe 2009 - the first conference outside the USA in SYS-CON's world-beating series of events devoted to the two hottest interlinked topics in Enterprise IT today.
Speakers and attendees alike are traveling to Prague from all over Europe, and indeed many are even flying in from the USA in order to familiarize themselves with where exactly Europe is located on the Cloud/Virtualization spectrum right now. Here is a round-up of speakers, arranged by country of origin.

Funny, so 10 Mio.$ was the price of NetBeans back then... Considering now it may or may not survive the Oracle/Sun merger it is interesting to hear from this guy and his latest ventures. Cloud Computing is another thing, Sun used to bet on recently. |
The Internet of Things will greatly expand the opportunities for data collection and new business models driven off of that data. In her session at @ThingsExpo, Esmeralda Swartz, CMO of MetraTech, discussed how for this to be effective you not only need to have infrastructure and operational models capable of utilizing this new phenomenon, but increasingly service providers will need to convince a skeptical public to participate.

The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch. DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential. Jan. 31, 2015 01:15 PM EST Reads: 2,733 |
By Carmen Gonzalez Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation.

UFC fighter Shane Roller on Monday took to Twitter to announce his retirement from fighting.
"Looks like I'm hanging up the gloves for good. It was fun, but time to move on. Sux that it ended like that. Now startn the next chapter!!" he wrote.
Roller's manager, Ted Ehrhardt, confirmed the news with MMAWeekly.com.
Ehrhardt didn't want to speak outright for Roller – who hadn't yet replied to a request for comment at the time of publication – but said that Roller was released by the UFC following Friday night's loss to Jacob Volkmann.
"I think he felt like he gave it his best shot," said Ehrhardt, who indicated that Roller has a Master's Degree in Business and probably felt there were more reliable ways for him to provide for his family.
Roller started strong in his Zuffa tenure, amassing a 6-2 record in the WEC before moving to the Octagon when the promotion was absorbed by the UFC.
Things haven't gone quite as well since the jump.
Roller won his first fight in the Octagon before falling into a three-fight skid. He bounced back with a win over John Alessio at UFC 148, but fell back on hard times with the loss to Volkmann.
Shane Roller's career record stands at 11-7 overall.

Foreclosure backlogs soar in judicial states
By Real Estate Economy Watch | July 11, 2012 at 10:12 AM
License Photo
The May Mortgage Monitor report released by Lender Processing Services shows that the nation's foreclosure inventory remains near all-time highs, with 4.12 percent of all active mortgages in the foreclosure pipeline in addition to the 3.2 percent that are 90 days or more delinquent but have not yet begun the foreclosure process.
However there's a stark contrast in foreclosure inventories between judicial and non-judicial states, explained LPS Applied Analytics Senior Vice President Herb Blecher.
"In the former, 6.5 percent of all loans are in some stage of foreclosure--that's more than 2.5 times the rate in non-judicial states where only 2.5 percent of loans are currently in the foreclosure pipeline. Both these figures are significantly higher than the pre-crisis average of 0.5 percent, but it is worth noting that the average year-over-year decline in non-current loans for judicial states is less than one percent, whereas in non-judicial states, it's down 7.1 percent."
The difference between judicial and non-judicial states impacts the length of time loans remain in the foreclosure pipeline as well; the percent of aged foreclosure inventory has increased notably in judicial states.
Approximately 53 percent of loans in foreclosure in states that follow a judicial foreclosure process have been delinquent for more than two years, as compared to just over 30 percent of loans in non-judicial states.
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Vermont are the states requiring judicial review.
Nationwide, foreclosure sales - which mark the end of the foreclosure process - were up 10 percent in May with the increase more pronounced in non-judicial states. In those states, 6.46 percent of the existing foreclosure inventory progressed to foreclosure sale in May, as compared to just 2.14 percent of the inventory in judicial states.
The May data also shows that after a sharp seasonal decline, delinquencies stabilized, up just 1.1 percent for the month to 7.2 percent, but still down almost 12 percent year to date. In addition, new problem loan rates continue to improve, with rates dropping for the eighth consecutive month--reaching a point (1.06 percent) not seen since July 2007, and well off their January 2009 peak of 2.92 percent.
Finally, foreclosure starts were up for the month, rising 11.6 percent from April, though still low by historical standards and more than 40 percent off their September 2010 peak.
Other key results reported in LPS' First Look release, other key results from LPS' latest Mortgage Monitor report include:
Total U.S. loan delinquency rate: 7.2 %
Month-over-month change in delinquency rate: 1.1 %
Total U.S. foreclosure pre-sale inventory rate: 4.12 %
Month-over-month change in foreclosure pre-sale inventory rate: -0.5 %
States with highest percentage of non-current* loans: FL, MS, NJ, NV, IL
States with the lowest percentage of non-current* loans: MT, AK, SD, WY, ND

Featured Book Where Christ is forbidden by Barie Fez-Barringten
Indian summer gives way To the first frost As a quarter moon rises Over the slumbering mountain. From the trees beyond the creek I hear the hooing Of an owl And From somewhere nearer The rounded peaks Comes the yip-yip-yipping Of a coyote. I watch my breath, Barely visible Within the weak light Leaking from behind The curtained windows, As it drifts away Into the darkness Beyond my nose, And I pull my sweater Closer about my body In a vain attempt To soothe the chill bumps Rising from my skin; But I am in no rush To return To the warmth indoors. Instead, I am content To sit upon my porch swing And breathe the smoke-scented air, Reflecting upon my blessings As Nature beds herself down For the long winter ahead.

M-Dot - Chances & Change

Album: Jake LaDOTta
Avg Rating: 4.6 ( 17 votes )
Thanks to the project's abrupt release—the first and, to date, only single hit our front page on the eve of the set's arrival—there are doubtless many hip-hop heads still sleeping on M-Dot's new, Booth-hosted street album. So we decided to quit taking Chances, & Change that state of affairs by featuring another fresh record off the tape. (I'll give you a second to admire how cleverly I worked the title into that last sentence.) Like Today, this record finds the Boston rhymesayer flanked by several talented homies. Over DJ Nefarious's gritty, yet melodic sample work, M-Dot trades intricate, insightful verses with E.M.S. crewmate Revalation, Brooklyn mic-murderer click here to cop Jake LaDOTTA for free in the Booth.

Studio Day 4
I couldn't write about day 4 on day 4 because i was driving home and settling back in but as I listened to our reference mixes in my car last night or now on my home stereo I'm starting to realize what we've done. We spent all of day 4 mixing, re-amping and applying effects but mostly listening. When you're crtitically listening like that you don't get to take in the whole picture. Having now had time to do that it is apparent truly how far we have come since
Red Over Red
. While we still love those songs and that album,
Fortunate Some
will be more than a step forward... it's a short sprint ahead of
Red Over Red
. Needless to say Justin is a hugely responsible for this. The notes and suggestions he gave us as well as his ability to mic a room and mix sounds to make them more than a sum of their imputs has made this album so much bigger and better. Not only was he willing to let us get weird when we felt the need but he encouraged it and nutured our weirdness and helped translate it to sound. So thank you Junstin, you have once again made recording an enjoyable and enriching experience. I'm not exactly sure what else to say here. The recording process is complete and mastering wil be taking place in around 3 weeks once again with Carl Saff. We still have to figure out art and things so don't hold your breath but rest assured we are going to continue to work to get this album out to you. Be prepared for weirdness and some singing and a whole bunch of heavy and did I mention weirdness? Thanks for reading, keep your eyes peeled for more updates as they happen.

Studio Day 3
Day three is in the books. Vocals finished and mixing has begun...
Vocals gave me a bit of a struggle today but I perservered and managed to beat them into submission.
Just goes to show that I should probably never book a show before noon cause my vocals will not be ripe just yet. Anyway, after all that was said and done we ended up with some real solid performances. Next came the start of (what I find to be) the ever tedious process of mixing. Thankfully, Justin enjoys the process and he's the one doing most of the work. The good part about mixing is the chance for re-amping and effecting pieces of the performance. Justin rigged up this sweet little amp and pedal contraption to add some heavy. We, of course, found some time while Justin was doing some technical things, to go next door to Abandoned Building Brewery to sample their wares. If you're a beer geek in the Easthampton area check them out, they make a pretty good brew.
Fortunate Some
is really starting to take shape and tomorrow is our final and perhaps most exciting day. Stayed tuned to see how it all turns out.

Studio Day 2
We are now 20 hours into our 40 hour Sonelab experience. We blazed through the rest of the bass overdubs and let me tell you there is going to be some noisey madness on this record...
I had to play twister at one point; it was all right hand bass, left hand Synth Mangler joystick, right foot wah pedal. Noise can be a complicated thing. I also did some honest to god playing as well. So much playing in fact that we managed to get 65 tracks on one of the songs. We are working very collaboratively with Justin to create some new and intersting textures and more atmosphere on every single tune. Along with the completion of the bass tracks we also managed to run through about 75% of the vocals. We are absolutely flying through our sessions and having a blast doing so. We've got 2 days left and we should be finishing up vocals tomorrow and beginning mixing and experimenting with some studio trickery. Stay tuned!

Long Beach State's Taylor Crabb leads the nation with 5.05 kills per set, helped out by Connor Olbright who leads the nation in assists per set with 11.86.
Cal State Northridge is led on offense by Damani Lenore and Sam Holt with 3.06 kills per set and 2.83 kills per set, respectively.
Links to live stats for both matches and live video streaming for the Cal State Northridge match will be available on the BYU men's volleyball schedule page.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
PUB boss takes hard look at dam-building plans
The new head of Manitoba's Public Utilities Board has laid the ground rules for Manitoba Hydro's request for a 3.5 per cent rate increase April 1.
Chairman Regis Gosselin told Hydro officials last week Hydro's customers need to be confident the Crown corporation's dam-building plans over the next two decades are based on solid research.
Gosselin, who succeeded retired chairman Graham Lane last March, made his remarks during a session that delved into why the recently completed Wuskwatim generating station came in at more than twice its forecasted budget.
A 2004 estimate for Wuskwatim, on the Burntwood River southwest of Thompson, was $800 million. Its final cost is $1.7 billion.
"We are, to some extent, concerned about future costs, but clearly we're now expecting ratepayers to pay for the cost of the dam that just started operation where the costs are way higher than what had originally been projected," Gosselin said. "So, I think we need to do some soul-searching about what happened and why we are now expecting ratepayers to pay for that. I think we at least owe the ratepayers a fairly thorough explanation."
Wuskwatim has been held up as the new way of doing business in Manitoba's north. Hydro negotiated a 33 per cent ownership deal with the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN) as a way to right past wrongs, such as the massive flooding caused by Hydro's Churchill River diversion project in the 1970s. The deal was the first of its kind in Canada, if not the world.
But its timing couldn't have been worse. Unforeseen ballooning construction costs and the sudden onset of the U.S. recession in 2009 axed what were to be big profits to Hydro from selling surplus power to the United States. Hydro is now renegotiating its 2006 profit-sharing deal with NCN so it does not have to contribute immediately to Hydro's overall losses. Under the old agreement, NCN would have to contribute $14 million in 2012 and $24 million in 2013-14.
Gosselin said he wants to avoid what happened with Wuskwatim in Hydro's planning for the new and much bigger northern Keeyask and Conawapa generating stations.
"It seems to me that we need to look back at what happened and -- and if only to -- to explain to Manitobans that we did the very best that we could under the circumstances," he said. "But I also think that we owe it to them to be in a position to say, 'OK, we've learned some lessons here and we're going to apply them in the future to make sure that we don't go off base on some of these even more significant capital projects.' "
Keeyask is projected to cost $6.2 billion and Conawapa $10.1 billion.
Hydro is also looking at replacing the aging Pointe du Bois generating station on the Winnipeg River. It started producing power for Winnipeg in 1926, but its spillway and station are in need of an overhaul. The estimated cost of the spillway replacement is $560 million and the powerhouse rebuild, to take place in 2030, is $1.5 billion.
Hydro's chief financial officer, Vince Warden, told the PUB the "situation in the export market" and dealing with Hydro's aging infrastructure is driving the requested rate increase.
"When we apply for a rate increase to this board, we're balancing fiscal responsibility of Manitoba Hydro with customer sensitivity," Warden said.
He said Wuskwatim fell victim to a "huge cost" escalation in the construction industry -- labour and materials -- that hit the entire marketplace.
"We saw the exact opposite situation with Limestone (1990), where we hit the marketplace just right," he told the PUB. "And rather than costing $3 billion, as was originally estimated, it came in at $1.5 billion or $1.4 billion. So it can go the other way."
