Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Qantas Airways Ltd. is being damaged by strikes that have forced the grounding of aircraft and the cutting of 400 domestic flights for the next month, Chief Executive Officer Alan Joyce said.
The Sydney-based airline's engineering, long-haul-pilot and ground crew unions have held work stoppages, used in-flight address systems to criticize Qantas and banned overtime as they seek higher pay and job security clauses in contracts. The Australian and International Pilots Association said yesterday Qantas management has halted talks with the union.
"These three unions are sticking by unrealistic, outdated demands that are going to be damaging to the future of the company," Joyce said in an interview on Sky News yesterday. "We don't see this getting better anytime soon. If anything, this is getting worse."
Qantas, Australia's biggest carrier, said it will ground five aircraft starting today because bans on overtime by engineers have caused a maintenance backlog. Disruptions will have affected more than 60,000 passengers and more aircraft may be grounded if stoppages continue, Joyce said.
The union action comes amid Joyce's plans to establish new carriers in Southeast Asia and Japan to get more Chinese travelers as he seeks to halt around A$200 million ($204 million) in annual losses from international operations.
'Secure All Jobs'
"We're going to make the radical change that's needed to our international business so we can stop our A$200 million losses, turn that business around, and grow jobs here and secure all 35,000 jobs within Qantas," Joyce said. "This union action is an attempt to stop us making that change. They would like the work practice to be outdated. If we allow that to happen, Qantas will not be around for the next nine years."
Calls to the office of Tony Sheldon, national secretary of Transport Workers Union of Australia in Sydney, weren't answered yesterday.
The pilot association is asking Qantas to rethink its "baffling decision to suspend" talks and return to the negotiating table, it said in the statement yesterday.
"Qantas pilots can't stand the damage being done to the airline through this bitter dispute, which is why we are eager to come to a negotiated solution," association President Barry Jackson said. "That's pretty tough to achieve when one side suspends negotiations."
Government Can Intervene
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said last week the government is able to intervene if disputes escalate.
"In our industrial relations system there has been the ability of government to get involved in major disputes which have implications for the national economy, or implications for health and safety," Gillard said in an interview on ABC radio last week.
The government's attention "shows the impact that Qantas has on the general economy," Joyce said of Gillard's comment. The airline has been forced to move some of its aircraft heavy maintenance work offshore as a result of the industrial action, he said.
Qantas shares fell 0.3 percent to close at A$1.56 in Sydney trading on Oct. 14, while the benchmark stock index declined 0.9 percent.
The carrier is achieving an on-time rate of 77 percent compared with 87 percent four weeks ago, Qantas said. Joyce said on Oct. 13 the company isn't "at war" with its labor unions.
"The union leaders are saying they're after job security," said Joyce. "Well, these outrageous demand and claims and a statement that people shouldn't be traveling with Qantas only damages that job security."

In October, Cadillac will introduce its first turbocharged engine, joining the dozen or so boosted four-, six-, and eight-cylinder gas and diesel engines already energizing the crossover category.
With the flamboyant Art & Science themed exterior and stunning 20-inch wheels hogging all the attention, who will notice the 2.8T badge quietly added to the tailgate? Probably no one other than Lexus executives who now have a 300-horsepower competitor to fret over. Like a CTS on growth hormones, the rad-Cad SRX brings in-your-face styling to a segment famous for conservative dress. Cadillac believes that customers are ready for something more creatively contemporary. If so, SRX could elbow a few BMWs and Benzs aside to take a serious shot at the other X-model (Lexus RX) that has dominated this category since its inception more than a decade ago.
The center stack that entertains so well in the CTS also works convincingly here. Wood adornments come from actual trees, not injection molding machines. The top grade leather is neatly trimmed and stitched. The touch-sensitive nav screen rises majestically whenever its services are required. In place of the base 3.0-liter V-6's mpg gauge in the right cluster circle, there's a boost gauge to report how hard the turbo under the hood is working on your behalf. The tach, located to the left of the speedometer, is redlined at 6200 rpm but also ventures a few hundred rpm higher before fuel cutoff. At the center of the analogue speedometer, there's an electroluminescent display that reports velocity digitally and other information such as whether or not the Sport mode is active.
The rear seats split and fold flat to double the cargo room from 29 to 61 cubic feet. In addition, there's a handy well under the load floor in SRXs not equipped with the optional spare wheel.
Thick D-pillars and a small window in the tailgate make the view out the back seem like peering through a telescope but at least the double-paneled UltraView sunroof allows you to brighten the interior mood at the touch of a button.
Bluetooth cell phone connectivity is standard. Those skip the extra cost of a navigation system can instead use OnStar's handy turn-by-turn service to find hidden destinations.
The Bose sound system plays AM, FM, XM satellite radio, MP3, and CD or DVD material through eight or ten speakers. A USB input, a minijack, and 40GB of media storage are also available as standard or optional equipment.
A rear seat entertainment system is optional.

Spring 2015 Honors Courses
Spring 2015 Honors Seminar Descriptions(PDF Document)Agency, Identity, Resistance: Prostitution in Historical Perspective+/-Dr. Laura Michele Diener
Attribute(s): Writing Intensive; Women's Studies; Sexualilty Studies
Recommended Credit: Social Science
Prostitution is one of the most hotly debated issues within feminist discourse. Are prostitutes exploited or empowered? Should feminists work to legalize prostitution or strive to eradicate it? In this class, we will use contemporary feminist theoretical works to examine questions of agency and identity within the history of prostitution. We will read accounts of the hetairai of Ancient Greece, the prostitutes of medieval and Victorian England, the courtesans of Venice, the Comfort Women of World War II, and the denizens of Japan's Floating World. Class sources will include novels, poems, memoirs, pottery, photographs, and paintings. Epic Themes in Literature and Culture +/-Dr. Kateryna Schray; Dr. Caroline Perkins
Attribute(s): Writing Intensive
Recommended Credit: Humanities
In this seminar we will examine themes of heroic epic that persist through time. We will integrate readings from the ancient world by such authors as Homer, Apollonius and Vergil with readings from Anglo-Saxon, medieval and 18th, 19th and 20th century British and American literature. It is our intention to examine the themes of the journey, the quest, the romance, and the task in order to see whether and/or how they have evolved over time and why they resonate with their own and modern audiences. We will accomplish through reading and class discussion, informal writing in an online discussion board, film analysis, a set design project, and an interdisciplinary anthology of items related to the course themes. Technology and Human Identity +/-Dr. Kristen Lillvis
Attribute(s): Writing Intensive
Recommended Credit: Literature
Do you use a smart phone? Have (or want) an iPad? Ever thought about how these products shape us? Today, as greater numbers of people engage with the world via Internet-ready technologies, some theorists argue that our identity must be understood as informational or digital rather than physical. This course explores what it means to be human by studying robots, cyborgs, and posthuman subjects in literature. We will look at texts from the early 19th century to today in order to examine how thought about the human mind and body has developed. The Book Beautiful +/-Prof. Christine Ingersoll
TR || 12:30 - 1:45 || Morrow Library 2nd Floor Hoffman Rm
Attribute(s): Writing Intensive
Recommended Credit: Humanities
Will printed and bound books be replaced by pixels and iPads? What will future books look like? Are there values in the printed book that a digital execution can never match? This course will examine the physical beauty of printing text on paper, not only as a vessel for words, but as a work of art. "The Book Beautiful" will deconstruct the printed book and prepare ideas for the next generation of digital books with a feast for the eyes, the sensitivity of touch, the passionate voices of book designers, and participation in an international culinary celebration of the book. No prior art or publishing experience is required for this course – just a love for the book.
Sociology of Science, Knowledge, and Technology +/-Dr. Marty Laubach; Dr. Michael Castellani
Attribute(s): Writing Intensive (applied for)
Recommended Credit: Natural Science
This course is a social science analysis and critique of the dominant institution in modern societies for construction and authorizing knowledge claims. By emphasizing the socially constructed nature of the knowledge process, it challenges the claims of objectivity and "truthiness" of the physical sciences, and as such often appears as a dialog between the subjectivity of the social and objectivity of the physical sciences. This course will be taught by the chairs of a social and a physical science to support both sides of the debate. The course will start with classics in the sociology of knowledge, then delve into a history of scientific epistemology, tackle the development of science and technology studies since the 1960s, and end with contemporary research and concerns with theory, practices, politics, institutions, and technosciences. We will include a class on ethical challenges faced by researchers.. 1920s Women and Screen Idol Rudolph Valentino +/-Dr. Charles Lloyd
Attribute(s): Writing Intensive; Women's Studies; Sexuality Studies
Recommended Credit: Social Science
1920s women were free for the first time to frequent movie theaters unaccompanied by men. Comprising three-quarters of film audiences, women made or broke film stars. But what they saw in silent films created a tension between the woman their mothers expected them to be and the modern women before their eyes, offering new outlets for feelings they once had kept inside. They avidly followed romance on the screen, women's changing roles in that romance, and the men whom they loved. By his dark good looks and stunning, almost soft seductiveness, Rudolph Valentino aroused the greatest interest and reaction, especially among women but among many men also. This course offers two perspectives on 1920s women's lives, caught between eroding Victorian values and scary flapper independence. You will investigate 1920s movie fan magazines for clues about how women view themselves in the strong sensualities film idols like Valentino aroused and watch Valentino first hand on the screen, analyzing his powerful allure. Mass Media and the Civil Rights Movement +/-Dr. Robert Rabe
Recommended Credit: Social Science
This seminar is an in-depth examination of the mass media and popular culture during the civil rights era in Post-World War II America (mostly 1950s-1980s, but also how these issues continue to influence us now). Part of the class will focus on evolving news media representations of the movement, including attempts by activists to create alternative media narratives. The other major focus will be the many different ways that changing ideas about, and representations of, race affected popular culture. We will talk about how changing ideas about race and politics influenced music, television, film, advertising, fashion, and other art forms. Spanish Arts in Context +/-Dr. Viatcheslav Gratchev
Attribute(s): Multicultural
Recommended Credit: Humanities
This course offers a panoramic overview of Spanish arts throughout the XVI-XX centuries. The course by its very nature is the interdisciplinary study that combines in itself the inquiry into Spanish arts, music, and film in historic context. The course covers the period of XVI-XX centuries, and has the goal to discuss the most notable Spanish artists and architects (Velazquez, Zurbaran, Ribera, El Greco, Goya, Picasso, Dali, Alonso Cano, Jose Chirriguera, Antonio Gaidi), as well as musicians (Andres Segovia, Manuel de Falla, Isaac Albeniz, Enrique Granados, Monserrat Cavalier and Placido Domingo). In addition, the course discusses the cinematographic production of three internationally acclaimed Spanish directors: Pedro Almodovar, Luis Bunuel, and Guillermo del Toro. A particular attention will be given to how Spanish Arts have changed in response to the social and cultural changes that occur in Spain throughout XVI-XX centuries. Appalachia on Film +/-Dr. Walter Squire
Attribute(s): Writing Intensive; Multicultural; Women's Studies
Recommended Credit: Literature
This course will examine depictions of Appalachia within popular and documentary film, with special attention paid to films set in West Virginia. Students will compare Appalachia as it appears on screen to historical and scholarly accounts, as well as to students' own experiences. We will evaluate the veracity of filmic presentations of Appalachia, consider absences within such presentations, and balance the works of filmmakers from outside Appalachia to those by Appalachians, including works created by local filmmakers and former Appalachia on Film students who work within a variety of video genres.

The battle for dedicated mass-transit funding moved from the seats of government to the streets of Jamaica last week.
Locals 1056 and 1179 of the Amalgamated Transit Union went to the Parsons Boulevard-Archer Avenue subway station in Jamaica on Friday to enlist public backing in their effort to get increased funding from the city, state and federal government for increased service and infrastructure.
"We need the public's support," said Mark Henry, president of 1056, which represents bus drivers, mechanics and other personnel. "Public transportation is the backbone of this city. Increased investment in public transit creates jobs and supports our economy. It helps businesses, enhances our environment, reduces our carbon footprint and relieves gridlock."
Transit workers spoke with bus and subway riders and, asked them to contact their elected leaders and handed out literature citing the economic benefits of mass-transit investment.
John Lyons, president of ATU Local 1179, spoke of how his membership made headlines before and after Hurricane Sandy in 2012, moving vast numbers of people out of and back to affected areas of the city. But he also said people should not overlook the importance of daily routine bus service.
"Bus transit [also] offers a cost-effective means to expand public transit where none or insufficient options exist," he said.
Congressman Greg Meeks (D-Queens, Nassau) attended, as did Assemblyman David Weprin and City Councilmember Daneek Miller (D-St. Albans. Miller was Henry's predecessor at ATU 1056.
Weprin said Lyons' contention of buses as an inexpensive public transit solution is an accurate one, with much of his northeastern district bereft of subway service.
"People don't drive into Manhattan because they want to," Weprin said. "My district is dependent on bus service."
Henry encouraged all Queens residents to contact their elected leaders at all levels to press the cause for more mass-transit funding, though he admitted it would be preaching to the choir with representatives like Meeks, Weprin, Miller and Councilmember Donovan Richards (D-Laurelton).
In the U.S. House of Representatives, Republicans and Democrats from rural areas long have favored eliminating a separate, dedicated pool of federal dollars for mass-transit funding, preferring instead to use the money for highways and paying for mass-transit on a year-to-ear basis.
Meeks even suggested that New Yorkers contact friends and relatives in rural areas in an effort to lobby for support. "The rural areas can have their highway funding, but we need to have mass transit," he said.
Congressman Joe Crowley (D-Queens, Bronx) was not at Friday's rally, but has been fighting to keep the mass-transit funding as a separate account for more than two years.
In a statement from his office, Crowley said he still hopes to convince rural and GOP representatives that investing in mass transit has returns far outside of New York and other big cities.
"Not only do these investments mean an easier commute for workers of all stripes, it also means good-paying jobs for millions of Americans in construction and related industries," he said.

Rebecca Niederlander - Axis Mundi
The axis mundi is a connector between heaven and earth, a point of beginning and ending. The convergence of the four compass points, it bridges the known and unknown, the experienced and the believed. The axis mundi is a universally shared phenomenon: Norse mythology has the cosmic ash tree Yggdrasil, which unifies the nine homeworlds, while the Bodhi Tree was the site of the Buddha's enlightenment. The Biblical tradition situates the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden.
The axis mundi serves as the unifying construct for the first site-specific installation at MOCRA, an exhibition that reflects on the communities we exist in physically and those we share existentially—our ever widening and intersecting personal and collective axes mundi—utilizing multiple elements to create an abstracted environment in which color, form and the contemplative nature of MOCRA's space work collaboratively.

Membership dues for 2013 are now being collected. Please call Cole Acres Golf Course or Jay if you need to make arrangements. Remember, the Supper Club is open every Friday night, so that is also a great time to pay your dues. Dues have remained the same as in 2012.
Course Improvements
Work on the pond was completed in the fall of 2011. Wiederholdt Excavating was hired to dig out the existing pond and to make it deeper. It should be approximately the 8-10 ft deep. This project was badly needed, as the previous depth was creating clogging problems with the irrigation system. We thank the volunteers who helped to lay the bentonite and now look forward to spring and filling the pond.
An addition to the Cole Acres tournaments this year has been the large new leaderboard hanging near the clubhouse entrance. This dry-erase style board was designed and donated by members Rick and Donna Atkinson. Tournament scores can now be posted as they come in for all to see. We would like to thank Rick and Donna, as well as all members who have donated items for the course, for making Cole Acres a beautiful golf course. Your support is greatly appreciated!

Pouring their hearts into "Roméo et Juliette"
As PNB's dancers learn the new ballet (a far less traditional and more starkly contemporary version of the tale than Kent Stowell's "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet," previously in the company's repertory), they must learn a new language of movement and take on a different, fully developed character.
Seattle Times movie critic
Coming up
"Roméo et Juliette," 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Feb. 2 and Feb. 7-9, 2 p.m. Feb. 2 and Feb. 9, 1 p.m. Feb. 10, Pacific Northwest Ballet, McCaw Hall, 321 Mercer St., Seattle; $20-150 (206-441-2424 or www.pnb.org).
In a gray rehearsal studio on a bright winter afternoon, two Pacific Northwest Ballet dancers are becoming teenagers again. Principal Noelani Pantastico and corps de ballet member James Moore scamper and whirl as if caught in a windstorm of love. To the strains of Sergei Prokofiev's luscious music, they chase each other, embrace, writhe on the floor and visibly shiver, overwhelmed by the sensation of each other's touch. They are Romeo and Juliet — or rather, Roméo and Juliette, in Jean-Christophe Maillot's 1996 version of the ballet that will make its PNB debut this week.
A dancer's career may encompass many roles — a prince, a swan maiden, a leotard-clad abstraction — but few bring the dramatic challenges of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers. As PNB's dancers learn the new ballet (a far less traditional and more starkly contemporary version of the tale than Kent Stowell's "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet," previously in the company's repertory), they must learn a new language of movement and take on a different, fully developed character.
Gaby Baars, visiting from Maillot's company Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo to stage the ballet, watches Pantastico and Moore closely to assure they adhere to the choreography, and also pays attention to the emotional content of their performance. "Everything a little bit more passionate," he tells them, adding to Pantastico, "It's not Noe being Juliette. You are Juliette."
Later in the week, Pantastico and Moore joined principal Carla Körbes and soloist Lucien Postlewaite (the two couples were originally cast to alternate performances during the ballet's two-week run, though Körbes had to withdraw near presstime due to injury) to talk about becoming Roméo and Juliette. First, they said, the process involved unlearning the usual forms of ballet movement, to make room for the characters.
"The thing that was stressed at the very beginning was taking the ballet out of everything, even when you're walking across the room," said Pantastico. "We tend to walk on a high demi-point [up on the ball of the foot], and they want us to walk heel-toe. Just doing that is hard."
"We're trained to be ballet dancers and walk like a prince," added Moore. "It's so different in this ballet."
Postlewaite, who danced the balcony scene with Pantastico at PNB's season-opening gala last September, agreed that the turned-in, loose movement felt unnatural at first. "But it's supposed to look natural so it feels just like an extension of our feelings — not so much that we're doing choreography, and more that the dancing is a byproduct of what's going on," he said. After the gala, he heard a lot of feedback from audiences — "It felt so young and it felt so fresh, the technique wasn't getting in the way."
Through this natural movement, the slouchy grace of teenagers began to emerge. And from that movement (and from earlier study of the play) came the emotion, as a seamless package. "The whole process has been trying to work in a way that we're not just thinking about doing the steps," said Postlewaite. "The steps are attached to an emotion, they're attached to a feeling, so when you do the step, you can't help but feel the emotion."
The dancers have found different ways to rehearse the acting element of their characters, on a rushed schedule that allows little time to focus on emotion alone. Moore remembered, in a rehearsal with Jonathan Porretta (who plays Mercutio), that the two of them would speak their thoughts aloud, as their characters. "It helped make it a little more real," he said.
All spoke of the importance of being in the moment, of keeping interactions spontaneous. Bernice Coppieters, the Monte-Carlo dancer who created the role of Juliette and worked with PNB's dancers this month, instructed them to keep changing their performances, even onstage, to keep it fresh.
"You can't stage your poses, stage your expressions," said Postlewaite. "It has to be so natural that if something is different, you can react to that difference."
In this production, the young lovers aren't quite as innocent as they're often played. "Bernice was telling us, 'Juliette isn't necessarily 14 in this version,' " said Pantastico. "Or maybe she is, but maybe she's experienced some things already."
"Juliette is not an innocent sweet girl who has no idea," said Baars. "She's someone who knows she is grown up, and she falls in love and she knows what she wants. She's got some guts, she goes for Romeo and she tells him she wants to sleep with him, and she will kiss him for the first time. It's not the guy who's taking over, like normal classical ballets do."
Postlewaite described his Romeo as "a playboy" before he meets Juliette. "And then, it's like, 'I don't know what love is until I see her.' "
Like method actors, the dancers said that they sometimes use their own life experiences to help create onstage emotions. But Baars reminded them that such channeling can be perilous, remembering that when the original Roméo at Monte-Carlo would fall in love with someone in real life, "It would be the worst performance. He'd be bouncing about ... " Baars grimaced.
While memories may help to personalize the role, it can't be too personal — ultimately, the performance has to be true to Maillot's vision. "To understand what Jean-Christophe wants in his Roméo, the kind of love he wants portrayed, it might not correspond to your way of loving someone," said Baars. "You can't just do whatever you want and feel real all the time, because sometimes what you feel is real is not the right way."

The information in this story, originally published January 26, 2008, was corrected January 27, 2008. Pacific Northwest Ballet principal dancer Carla Körbes has been injured and will not perform the role of Juliette in the company's upcoming run of "Roméo et Juliette." A previous version of this story was published before the injury. Principal dancer Noelani Pantastico will assume Körbes' duties. An additional performance of the ballet has been scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, featuring Bernice Coppieters, Les Ballet de Monte-Carlo's original Juliette, in the title role.

The Animal Rights Foundation of Florida is getting ready for their 2009 Thanksgiving Dinner featuring Tofurkey and vegan wishbones. While Tofurkey has been around awhile, it has taken on increased importance as the world makes more eco-conscious choices.
Tofurkey Roast is a vegan meat-substitute that was first produced to give vegans and vegetarians an alternative main dish at holiday meals, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Hood River, Oregon Turtle Island Foods makes Tofurkey which is available in meals or as an entree.
The Tofurkey 'feast' includes, in addition to the non-engineered soy tofu-wheat roast, cranberry apple potato dumplings, giblet and mushroom gravy, wild rice-whole wheat bread crumb stuffing, and a Tofurky Jurky Wishstix (vegan wishbones).

Jackie Robinson West beats Texas ... and the Bears have their back
In its first two victories at the Little League World Series, Jackie Robinson West's power hitting stole the show.
On Tuesday, JRW's pitching and defense carried the day. West turned a pair of double plays in topping Pearland, Texas, 6-1 on Tuesday in an elimination game in Williamsport, Pa. Josh Houston pitched five innings and gave up just one run for the Chicago team.
Jackie Robinson West next plays Thursday; its opponent will be the loser of Wednesday's matchup between Las Vegas and Philadelphia. If JRW wins Thursday, it will advance to the U.S. championship game Saturday.
West jumped on Pearland in the first inning. Pierce Jones came home on a single from Marquis Jackson to open the scoring. Jackson eventually scored on an overthrow on a play at third base, and Darion Radcliff crossed home plate when Josh Houston hit into a fielder's choice.
Strangely enough, there was even a do-over Tuesday. Jones appeared to hit a ball into fair territory with the bottom of the bat, but it was called foul. After the umpires talked it over, they ruled the call a mistake and started Jones' at-bat from scratch.
While that was unusual, what was not was Jackie Robinson West survived to play another day.
JRW also has some big fans—literally and figuratively—on the Bears. Some of the pros spoke to RedEye about the youngsters' run in Williamsport and their own baseball experience growing up.
C.J. Wilson, cornerback
"That's always a good thing when you can make people recognize your community and make something positive out of it. I'm proud of 'em, man."
Jermon Bushrod, offensive linemen
"I used to play baseball and it was always a dream to make it there [to Williamsport]. It was my passion growing up until high school, when I started to focus on football. I think it's pretty awesome; best of luck to those young men and go make memories."
David Bass, defensive lineman
"First and foremost, I'm proud. What they're doing for the city itself is big, taking everybody's mindset off all the negativity that's going on Chicago itself. Best wishes to them. They came this far, so they'd might as well bring home everything."
"I was a first baseman [growing up]; I believe I was good. My mom always said I was better at baseball than football or basketball. However, it was too patient for me and as I got older I wanted something that was a little more action, so I kind of dropped that."
Josh Morgan, wide receiver
"That's an amazing story. You don't see stuff like that happen often. It seems like they all have an intensity level, each one of them. All of them seem so talented; I've never seen anything like that on that level. You could tell they love the game and are good at what they do. It's like 'Wow, I'm watching a major league game.' It's fun to watch."
Robbie Gould, kicker
"I did not [play baseball growing up], but the Little League World Series is a half an hour from my hometown [of Jersey Shore, Pa.], so we used to go there all the time when we were kids. My hometown was in it about three years ago, so to see Chicago go there and see how well they're doing … it's great that they represent the city of Chicago and it's been awesome to see them on TV and follow them."
UP NEXT: Elimination game
Jackie Robinson West vs. Las Vegas or Philadelphia

Nintendo's just announced a new Super Mario Bros. game for 3DS.
Super Mario Galaxy's Tokyo development studio is currently hard at work on the title and more information will be revealed at E3 this year.
The news comes via Nintendo president Satoru Iwata's on-going GDC keynote, which you can read live updates from here.
Iwata showed a logo and images of the Mario title, which looks similar in style to Galaxy, albeit without the stars and planets.
Iwata told a Japanese newspaper this week Nintendo is experimenting with gameplay where Mario will run "into the screen" and strike blocks that are floating in the air.
"We're making software that is packed with the kinds of surprises and enjoyment that the 3DS can deliver," Iwata said.
Nintendo's official release said: "The announced 3D Super Mario game will feature traditional Mario game play and will fulfill the dream of Nintendo video game designer (and Mario creator) Shigeru Miyamoto to bring true depth and distance into the game's mechanics.
"The game is being developed by the same Nintendo team that created the Wii console hits Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2."

Tucked into a corner of the Brown Palace, this restaurant is all old-world swank and old-school class -- a bastion of the sort of jacket-and-tie dining that's becoming rare in this fast-casual world.

Breakfast and lunch only, but the Sunday brunch is a real blowout, and it's a relative bargain considering the size of the spread.

Leopoldo López, a Venezuelan opposition leader and founder of the Voluntad Popular (Popular Will) party, appeared in court on Tuesday for the first time since the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) found his detention illegal and called for his immediate release on October 9. He had refused to appear until presiding judge Susana Barreiro ruled on the recommendation.
Judge Barreiro rejected the WGAD recommendation last week, saying that it was not binding. Using the same argument as Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Barreiro argued that Venezuela is a sovereign nation and rejects international interference. López' lawyers have appealed Judge Barreiro's decision in the Court of Appeals.
López has been in pre-trial detention since he was arrested on February 18 for his alleged involvement in inciting violence during widespread protests. President Maduro has said that he believes that López is "responsible for crimes, violence, destruction, (loss of) human lives," and that "he has to pay, and he's going to pay."
Various high-profile world leaders have called for the release of López and the other political prisoners arrested during Venezuela's tumultuous protests in February, including UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, U.S. President Barack Obama, Pope Francis I, and OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza. On Monday, Socialist International joined the growing lists of international groups and human rights organizations calling for López' release.
On Monday, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein called for the release of Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López and former mayor of San Cristóbal Daniel Ceballos, as well as other prisoners detained over protests in February. Commissioner Zeid stated yesterday that "the prolonged and arbitrary detention of political opponents and protestors in Venezuela […] is only exacerbating the tensions in the country." He urged the government to release the prisoners, which number at least 69, and adhere to international standards of due process in all trials.
The High Commissioner had previously spoken with Leopoldo López' wife, Lilian Tintori, and their lawyer, Jared Genser, in Switzerland last Friday, regarding the delicate human rights situation in the country. Tintori told reporters after the meeting that she described to the High Commissioner the murders, disappearances and the overwhelming sense of helplessness that Venezuelans are currently facing. The UN Human Rights office has information indicating that more than 3,300 hundred people were detained between February and June 2014, and that over 150 cases of abuse have been reported.
In early October, a UN working group released a document determining that the detention of López was arbitrary and urging his release. In response, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Rafael Ramírez gave a press conference during which he asserted that working groups should not interfere with the legal process taking place in Venezuela. However, last week the country won a temporary seat on the UN Security Council, making it all the more important that Venezuela complies with the organization's demands.
A public hearing for Leopoldo López has been set for October 28.
The family of imprisoned Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López announced yesterday that the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention ruled in Opinion No. 26/2014 that López is being held illegally, and called for his release. The Working Group consists of five members appointed by the UN Human Rights Council that investigate possible cases of arbitrary detention, and they have been working on the Lopéz case since he was arrested on February 18 for the alleged incitement of violence during widespread protests.
López, the national coordinator of the opposition party Voluntad Popular (Popular Will), is being held at the Ramo Verde military prison in Miranda state. In addition to determining that López' detention was "arbitrary," the Working Group asked the Venezuelan government for reparations for his detention. President Nicolás Maduro's government had previously met with the Working Group to defend its treatment of López and argue against López' claims, although they were unsuccessful. The group further noted that his imprisonment appeared to be motivated by political opinion.
The government detained hundreds of demonstrators involved in the anti-government protests that erupted in February, including Mayors Daniel Ceballos and Enzo Scarano from San Cristobal and San Diego, respectively. The government is currently facing numerous allegations of human rights violations surrounding both the arrests and the treatment of its prisoners. International criticism of the detentions has increased in recent weeks, with calls for the release of prisoners from U.S. President Barack Obama and OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza.
This week's likely top stories: World leaders gather for the UN General Assembly; Leopoldo López' trial resumes in Venezuela; U.S. to approve aid to El Salvador; 8 killed in Guatemala conflict over cement plant; Clorox discontinues operations in Venezuela.
World leaders converge in New York; thousands march for action on climate change: Some 140 heads of state have arrived in New York City to participate in the UN General Assembly at United Nations headquarters, where the General Debate opens on Wednesday, September 24. Along with U.S. President Barack Obama, the presidents of Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, the Dominican Republic and Honduras are expected to speak on Wednesday, followed by more speeches from Latin American leaders throughout the week. Meanwhile, this Sunday, over 300,000 demonstrators marched through Manhattan to call for international leaders to take action regarding climate change. The march came ahead of Tuesday's 2014 UN Climate Summit, where world leaders will be discussing ways to reduce emissions, promote sustainable agricultural practices, and develop clean energy, among other goals, and large companies will be making pledges to reduce their carbon footprint. This week's summit comes ahead of two global summits on climate change in Peru and France—the COP20 conference in Lima in December, and the COP21 conference in Paris in 2015.
Leopoldo López goes to trial: The trial of Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López will resume today over López' role in the national protests that rocked Venezuela this spring. López has been imprisoned for seven months on charges that he had incited violent protests in February, including charges of criminal association and arson. López and his family have maintained his innocence, and human rights groups have said that López and other Venezuelan political prisoners should be released. Until now, López' defense team has not been allowed to produce evidence or witnesses to support his case. López could face more than 13 years in prison if he is found guilty.
U.S. will provide $277 in aid to El Salvador: The U.S. is expected to sign off on a $277 million economic aid package for El Salvador now that the U.S. Treasury Department has confirmed that it will not hold up the funds due to its concerns about money laundering. El Salvador is currently in the process of reforming its standards to police money laundering and corruption more effectively, recently passing a bill to report on the financial transactions of powerful individuals and their families. $101 million of the U.S. aid package has been allocated to provide job training for young Salvadorans who might otherwise leave the country and migrate to the United States.
Clash over cement factory in Guatemala kills 8: At least eight people were killed and dozens injured in a clash late Friday between community members in the town of Los Pajoques, about 25 miles from Guatemala City. The chain of violent events is one in a series of conflicts surrounding a cement plant and highway that have been under construction in the town of San Juan Sacatepéquez since July 2013, and that many community members oppose due to environmental concerns. Cementos Progreso, which owns the plant, said that its employees and the families that have sold their land have been harassed by the plant's opponents. Meanwhile, protesters who have opposed the project since 2007 say that they have received threats from people they believe are affiliated with the project.
Clorox to leave Venezuela: Clorox Company announced today that it will immediately discontinue its operations in Venezuela due to hyperinflation, supply shortages and price freezes. The company is seeking to sell its assets, but the move will cost Clorox $65 million. The household products company said that the economic situation in Venezuela forced Clorox to sell products at a loss, and the company could not break even, despite price increases approved earlier this year by the Venezuelan government. A number of other U.S. companies, including Exxon Mobil and American Airlines, have either left Venezuela entirely or drastically cut their operations in the country.
This week's likely top stories: the FIFA World Cup kicks off in Brazil; Colombian voters return to the polls; Venezuelan protesters call for the release of Leopoldo López; President Enrique Peña Nieto defends Mexican reforms in Spain; Argentine Vice President Amado Boudou testifies in court.
World Cup Begins in Brazil Amid Subway Strike: The FIFA World Cup will officially open on Thursday, June 12, with the opening match between Brazil and Croatia at Arena Corinthians stadium in São Paulo. Meanwhile, protesters clashed with police in São Paulo as they supported a subway workers' strike that began last Thursday when metro employees called for a 12.2 percent salary increase ahead of the tournament. On Sunday, the subway workers' union voted to continue the strike indefinitely, which will inevitably affect transportation to the Arena Corinthians stadium 12 miles east of central São Paulo. A São Paulo labor court has fined the union $175,000 and said it will add $220,000 per day that the work stoppage continues.
Colombian Runoff Elections: Colombian voters will return to the polls on Sunday to choose between current President Juan Manuel Santos of the Partido de la U and challenger Óscar Iván Zuluaga of the Centro Democrático in what is expected to be a very tight race for president. The Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia—FARC), who have agreed on three points of a six point peace agenda with the Colombian government in Havana, announced a three-week ceasefire from June 9 to June 30 in recognition of the June 15 runoff election. The government and the FARC recently announced the creation of a truth commission to investigate the deaths of the estimated 220,000 people killed in the country's 50 year-old internal conflict.
Venezuelan Opposition Calls for Release of Leopoldo López: Members of the Venezuelan opposition protested in Caracas on Sunday to call for the release of opposition leader Leopoldo López, who has been imprisoned since February 18—and are also demanding new presidential elections as soon as possible. López was formally charged in April by Attorney General Luisa Ortega Díaz of damaging property, arson and instigating violence in the February 12 protests that set off a wave of anti-government demonstrations across the country. Those charges were upheld last week by Judge Adriana López, who concluded that López must remain in custody. At least 42 people have died in protest-related violence.
Enrique Peña Nieto Defends Mexico's Reforms: In a speech delivered at a meeting of business and political leaders in Madrid, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto defended the political and economic reforms he has passed during his time in office. In the conversation, the president signaled that the introduction of foreign capital into the energy sector would make Pemex a "productive industry of the state," rather than just an "industry of the state." He added that Mexico is attempting to deepen its relationship with its Latin American neighbors, citing Mexico's participation in the Pacific Alliance alongside Chile, Colombia and Peru. Enrique Ochoa Reza, head of Mexico's Comisión Federal de Electricidad (Federal Commission of Electricity—CFE), and Spanish energy company Iberdola also signed a collaborative agreement.
Argentine Vice President Boudou Appears in Court: Argentine Vice President Amado Boudou is expected to testify on Monday in a criminal corruption probe for his possible involvement in a corruption and influence-peddling scandal. Boudou is accused of using his position as economic minister of Argentina to illegally lift bankruptcy proceedings against the Ciccone Calcografica printing company in return for 70 percent ownership of the firm in 2010. Boudou will appear before prosecutor and federal judge Ariel Lijo in a closed court session. Bodou denies any wrongdoing and asked that Monday's court session be broadcast before the Argentine public—but that request was denied.
Opposition leader Leopoldo López is back in court this morning after his 11-hour hearing was adjourned yesterday. Judge Adriana López is expected to decide whether the former mayor of Chacao will face a criminal trial and, if so, if he will remain in the Ramo Verde military prison while awaiting his trial date.
López, founder and national coordinator of the Voluntad Popular (Popular Will) party and outspoken critic of the Chávez, and later, Maudro governments, has been in custody at the military prison since February after he turned himself in to authorities. Despite yesterday's lengthy session, defense attorney Bernardo Pulido stated that the defense counsel was not called to take the floor. Because of limited access to the courtroom, much of the information has come from López' wife, Lilian Tintori's, social media accounts.
López is currently charged with arson, damage to public property, incitement, and conspiracy for his role in calling for the student protests against the government in February that turned violent. If charged, he faces up to ten years in prison.
OAS General Assembly in Paraguay: The Organization of American States (OAS) will hold its General Assembly in Asunción, Paraguay from June 3 to 5. At least 29 foreign ministers have confirmed their attendance—the highest number to do so since the 2009 General Assembly in Honduras, following the coup that removed former President Manuel Zelaya from office. OAS member states remain divided over the political crisis in Venezuela, proposed changes to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and the participation of Cuba, among other issues. Those attending the assembly are expected to sign a declaration to signal their commitment to promote social inclusion and reduce poverty and social inequality in the hemisphere.
Brazil's Public Ministry to Create a "Crisis Cabinet" for the World Cup: With only ten days left before the start of the World Cup, Brazil's public minister, Rodrigo Janot, declared that the government would create a "Crisis Cabinet" to monitor any future protests during the World Cup and address "excesses" on the part of either protesters or security forces during public manifestations. The Cabinet will include state attorney generals from all states that will host the World Cup, as well as the federal district that includes Brasília, and will receive additional assistance from a support group made of other public officials from the public ministry and attorney general's office. June 6 marks the one-year anniversary of protests that erupted across Brazil in response to transit costs, poor public services, corruption, and high spending on the World Cup.
Sánchez Céren Sworn in as Salvadoran President: Former FMLN guerrilla Salvador Sánchez Céren was sworn in as El Salvador's president on June 1, after narrowly defeating rival candidate Norman Quijano in a run-off election on March 9. Sánchez Céren said that he would fight corruption and violence during his term and would prioritize security, employment and education. El Salvador faces one of the world's highest homicide rates, according to the UN, at 41 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2012, though the rate was even higher in 2009. Sánchez Cerén was vice president during the government of former President Mauricio Funes.
Leopoldo López Hearing Begins in Venezuela: Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López has been transferred to Venezuela's Palacio de Justicia to begin a preliminary hearing on Monday. The hearing will determine whether López should be tried for promoting violence and instigating damage to public property, among other charges, during Venezuela's February 12 protests. López, who was detained in February, has been held in a military prison for the last several months, and he faces a potential sentence of more than 13 years in prison, according to Venezuelan Attorney General Luisa Ortega Díaz.
Uruguayan Primary Elections: Uruguayans voted in primary elections on June 1, with a paltry turnout of only 39 percent of eligible voters selecting presidential candidates for the country's three major political parties: the Partido Nacional (PN), Partido Colorado (PC) and the Frente Amplio (FA). The results were predictable for the FA—with popular former president Tabaré Vázquez easily defeating senator and political scientist Constanza Moreira—and the PC, which elected Pedro Bordaberry, a former presidential candidate and son of ex-President Juan María Bordaberry. However, Luis Lacalle Pou unexpectedly defeated favorite Jorge Larrañaga in the PN primary, creating a need for the PC and FA to reevaluate their strategies for Uruguay's presidential election on October 26.
Venezuela will deploy military units to San Cristobal, Táchira, where demonstrators continue to protest the arrest of opposition leader Lepoldo López, government officials announced today. Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres said that the decision is a measure to restore public order.
In addition to the deployment of the military troops on the ground military jets have been flying over that state of Táchira and internet access has been cut following 16 days of protests. Rodriguez has denied knowledge of the cause of the internet blackout.
The Venezuelan attorney general, Luisa Ortega Díaz, confirmed that there have been 8 deaths and 137 injuries to date, resulting in what human rights activists have called the worst violation of human rights in Venezuela in 15 years.

Venezuelan opposition leaders have condemned President Nicolas Maduro's government for the violent backlash to what started as peaceful student protests last week. The National Police, National Guard and government-backed colectivos (armed militias) have filled the streets firing freely at protesters. At least eight people have died since the protests turned violent last week and many have been injured.
Although the Venezuelan media has not fully covered the violence, social media sites have been flooded with photos and videos of the clashes documented by protesters themselves. Maduro and his supporters have claimed that the escalation of the violence is part of an attempted coup by right-wing "fascist" opponents backed by the U.S. On Monday, Maduro gave three U.S. diplomats 48 hours to leave the country, after being accused of fomenting a coup against the Venezuelan government.
The leader of the opposition movement, Leopoldo López, turned himself in to police on Tuesday and is being held in Caracas' Ramo Verde jail on charges of terrorism. President Maduro has called López, a 42-year-old Harvard-educated economist, "the face of fascism."
Among other voices condemning the repression of the protests are Henrique Capriles, former Venezuelan presidential candidate, and President Barack Obama, who urged Maduro to stop making "false accusations" and address the protesters' demands during his recent visit to Mexico.
The opposition movement is planning more marches for Saturday.

The Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela, currently led by Hugo Chávez's handpicked successor, Nicolás Maduro, is facing the most significant wave of social discontent with its policies in more than a decade.
Over the past six days, daily spontaneous protests across the country have diluted the government's ability to maintain social order and address the concerns of millions of Venezuelans who oppose its socialist project.
Today, Caracas will be the site of yet another round of political protests. This time, the protests will be far from spontaneous. They will concentrate in two opposing marches that will take city streets simultaneously.
One side will march in defense of Maduro's regime and against what the government has called "an unfolding coup attempt" against the Revolution. The other side will accompany opposition leader Leopoldo López to the Ministry of the Interior, where López will make a set of demands and probably be apprehended by the State for his supposed involvement in the violence that has shaken the country.

NOIDA: In July, Noida Authority first claimed to have arrived at a 'settlement' with farmers of the 54 villages. Four months on, after several protests by farmers and directions by Allahabad High Court, the situation in Noida is back to square one. Once again, farmers have threatened to stall construction and development work from next week.
Farmer representatives from across Noida met the new CEO of the Authority on Tuesday morning seeking clarity on the Authority's next step following the recent high court directions on land acquisition. They also served a "final ultimatum" to the Authority, claiming that if it does not "step up its act soon, they will be left with no other option but to stall construction and development work in the city."
These Noida farmers claim that even though, as part of their earlier agreement, the Authority was to resolve their abadi issues and distribute developed plots, it is yet to take any step. And now with the high court order directing that Noida farmers also be given enhanced compensation, the Authority is yet to offer any clarity on the same, the farmers say.
"The Authority has already missed several deadlines that it had set for resolving our issues, the latest being October 30," said Naresh Yadav, the village head of Sorkha. "In Greater Noida, the abadi issues of many farmers have already been resolved and the Authority there has already begun disbursing cheques of enhanced compensation. However, the Noida Authority is yet to deal with a single farmer," Yadav said.
"Even in today's meeting Authority officials refrained from giving us any specific dates regarding the settlement of our issues. If there is no change in the attitude, we will be forced to stage protests and stall construction work," said farmer Seesh Ram Yadav, village head of Hoshiyarpur.
Meanwhile, Authority officials claim that the delay in resolving farmers' issues was caused because it is facing a severe shortage of vacant land. "We are already short on vacant land and the recent Court order entails that the farmers be given 10 per cent developed plots instead of the seven per cent promised to them. We hope to arrive at a solution by next week," said ACEO Anil Raj Kumar.

Hi Everyone! I hope all of you are enjoying the weekend – I definitely am! We were supposed to get horrible weather in the Bay Area this weekend – rain, freezing cold – even the potential of snow (which I have to admit would have been pretty cool). I'm not sure what happened – but it's been nothing but sunny and gorgeous here (still chilly but nowhere near what the forecast was predicting!) And this sunny, springtime weather has put me in kind of a lazy, rambling mood. I've never done a post like this before – where there are multiple, unrelated foodie topics – so I figured I'd try it out today. First off – I have to announce the winner from my Fearless Chocolate giveaway Congratulations to Bobbie!! Bobbie – your chocolates should be on their way soon. Thanks to all of you who entered! And just so you know – I'll be launching my next awesome giveaway this Friday – so stay tuned Now, on to my random musings for this Sunday. First – let's talk about fast food oatmeal. It's an interesting trend – but more and more fast food restaurants are adding oatmeal to their breakfast menus – the most recent addition coming from McDonald' s. So let's start with the basics – why is McDonald's oatmeal unhealthy? So yes, all of this really sucks, and it's disappointing that McDonald's didn't try harder to make a healthier oatmeal like other fast food restaurants (more details on that below). But – to give a balanced review – I have to call out a few things about McDonald's oatmeal that are somewhat redeeming: What really gets me about all this: if you are just a normal consumer who assumes oatmeal and the toppings that come with it are healthy – you could unknowingly walk into a breakfast that causes you a sugar high & crash every day: the 30g of sugar in the fully loaded oatmeal guarantees it. And while the total caloric count (oatmeal + all toppings) isn't outrageous (it's only 290 calories total) – the nutritional bang for your buck isn't great. I just feel like unless you do research and know your nutritional labels inside & out – a company like McDonald's could totally dupe customers by introducing a "pseudo healthy" product. Which is why I felt the need to post about it today. I guess you have to give them credit for "trying," – but even in their efforts to try they kind of get it wrong. The good news is: there are FOUR other great fast food oatmeal options out there that actually are healthy and don't have random ingredients added. First up – Starbucks This has to be one of my favorite fast food oatmeals because: 1) Their "base" has 0g sugar, 140 calories and 4g fiber. It's instant oatmeal – which isn't ideal, but better than oatmeal with tons of sugar added. 2) All of their toppings come in 50-100 calories packs – and you can add as much as you like: I suggest adding the nuts for extra fiber/protein, and skipping most of the dried fruit which has 20g sugar (ridiculous). Our next fast food oatmeal star – Jamba Juice This oatmeal option is probably the best one – because it's made with steel cut oats! And the "Plain Oatmeal with Brown Sugar" has only 4 ingredients: Steel cut oats, soymilk, and brown sugar crumble (which you can ask for on the side, or eliminated altogether). The steel cut oats base only has 220 calories, 5g fiber and 8g protein. The brown sugar crumble has 7g sugar and 40 calories (which isn't too bad). Two other good options: AuBonPain and Cosi's ABP's small (8oz) oatmeal has 170 calories, 1g sugar, 4g fiber, and 6g protein – and only 2 ingredients: Water and Rolled Oats. Cosi has steel cut oats as well! And their serving has 220 calories, 4g fiber, 5g protein and 3g sugar. They have a crazy list of toppings – some of which are super unhealthy (like the dried fruit or whipped cream) – but all of them come on the side. And they have two great healthy toppings – pistachios and strawberries. So while the McDonald's version is deceptively unhealthy, there are plenty of good fast food oatmeal options out there – which is good news! It is sad though that consumers have to do so much digging to get to the bottom of what's actually in the food we buy. Which brings me to my next topic: I was recently contacted by a site called Food Facts – whose mission it is to eliminate confusion about what's actually IN the foods we eat, and create a centralized resource for all the food information you could want! Check out their site here , and a video overview here . I really applaud the work they're doing and was happy to partner with them on a few things (since our sites have very similar missions). I'd definitely recommend touring their site for any food related questions you have. And as I move on to my last topic, I'm acutely aware that it's midnight and I have to wake up early for work tomorrow. So, I feel like a very appropriate last topic is my issue with getting enough sleep every night. Do any of you feel like you don't sleep enough during the work week? I'm the type of person that actually needs 8 hours of sleep every night. When I'm well rested, I will wake up every morning after 8 hours of sleep like clockwork. The only trouble is, during the week I get about 6-7 hours (usually closer to 7). While that's not bad – I feel like that's still not enough sleep for me, because I always feel like I'm making up for lost sleep on the weekends. So as I sign off tonight – I'll leave you with two questions: 1) How much sleep do you usually get every night? and 2) Do you have any tips for me to make my sleep schedule more regular? And with that, I think it's my cue to head to bed. Happy (early) Monday everyone! |

Does this sound familiar, Montana?
Lobbyists for a powerful energy company have a proposal that will squeeze dollars from every Montanan. They sweet-talk Montana politicians to do their bidding, then mount a catchy public relations campaign to convince voters their plan is in fact in the public interest.
Lawmakers and the public are mesmerized. The energy company wins the day. Montana energy is liberated to the freedom of a larger marketplace rigged by unscrupulous companies. Soon thereafter, Montana energy prices that were among the lowest in the nation shoot up, and many Montanans lose once-secure jobs.
That's a recap of the deregulation debacle of 1997, engineered by the late Montana Power and Enron, which Northwestern Energy CEO Bob Rowe recently called "the largest public policy mistake in the history of Montana." But it could also be the looming story of the Keystone XL Pipeline. Once again, Montanans are being sold a pig in a poke, this time by TransCanada and Big Oil.
Montana is among a handful of states with the cheapest gas prices in the nation. That will not continue if Keystone is approved.
Oversupplied markets
Easy access to Bakken oil and Canadian heavy crude is the main driver of Montana's relatively low fuel prices. Big Oil sees that as a problem. Crude markets in Montana and the Midwest are "oversupplied," according to an assessment for TransCanada by Purvin & Gertz, a Texas-based oil economics firm. TransCanada's Keystone pipeline will increase prices by "removing this oversupply."
Carl Casale, president of CHS Inc., recently made the same observation, half-joking that workers at his profitable Laurel refinery should join the Sierra Club to oppose the pipeline. "There's so much crude oil trapped in the mid-continent right now — and we have one refinery in Laurel that is served by a pipeline out of Canada. Pretty good place to have one," Casale said. That is, until Keystone connects Alberta to Gulf Coast ports.
And that's exactly what the TransCanada pipeline company promises its clients: Unprecedented globalization. Tar sand bitumen and Bakken crude will be refined thousands of miles away and exported around the world. Big Oil will profit, as always, while Montana drivers pay higher fuel prices and labor watches Montana refineries turn less competitive.
Don't believe the line that Keystone is about American energy independence. That's Madison Avenue hoopla. Keystone is largely about export and global markets. The United States already exports more refined fuels than we import, and that trend will accelerate if Keystone is built.
Raw deal for consumers
If the pipeline is built, the Phillips 66 and ExxonMobil refineries in Billings will pay as much for crude oil as sister refineries in Houston. That's just fine with Big Oil CEOs. After all, they're equally at home in Baghdad, Moscow and Singapore. Keystone might make narrow economic sense for Texas or Louisiana, but it's a raw deal for consumers and workers here in Montana.
Maintaining the lowest gas prices in the nation is just one reason Montanans should oppose the Keystone XL Pipeline. More important is the future of our children. The Alberta tar sands are a very dirty fuel, contributing more than their share to childhood asthma, water pollution, and climate change. Tar sands, along with coal, are the world's largest source of carbon pollution per energy unit produced. Keystone will hardwire that pollution for decades to come, steadily warming the planet.
Yet Montana politicians, Democrat and Republican alike, march in the Keystone parade. Evidently, they don't care enough about future generations to say no. After all, what have future generations ever done for them?
But after the embarrassing deregulation fiasco of 1997, you might think they'd have a bit more concern for the current generation of voters that put them into office.
