Following a 12-Steps Program to Sustainability
By Gail Nickel-Kailing

Text Size
Formal 12-step programs are based on a set of guiding principles outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction or other behavioral problems. While not following the true form of the 12-step method, the actions outlined in the "12 Steps to Sustainability: How Every Company Can Implement Sustainability to Improve the Bottom Line and the Environment" report are intended to reduce environmental impact and "other behavioral problems."
According to the authors, Kanal Consulting, "Concerns over climate change among consumers, employees and political leaders are growing. Leading companies too are becoming increasingly concerned about their impact on the environment, and their access to dwindling resources. As a result, many are paying more attention to the sustainability of their operations—as well as seeking new revenue opportunities from a growing number of environmentally conscious customers.
"These companies are realizing that 'being green' is not just the right thing to do, but is also an important catalyst for value creation. Whether it's from reducing energy and materials usage, or selling environmentally friendly products, these companies have seen that sustainability can help their bottom line, and help the planet at the same time."
The 12 key points in the report are:
• Integrate sustainability into the company's vision, values or core mission statement.
Companies that have a mature level of sustainability practices are those that have incorporated sustainability into their company's vision, values or core mission statement.
• Set goals that are specific, credible, measurable and normalized for business changes.
Companies that are more successful in striving for sustainability also set ambitious goals.
• Treat sustainability projects with the same business case requirements as other projects.
Sustainability efforts shouldn't be just about doing the right thing; they also have to make business sense.
• Let the CEO and senior executives be the key spokespeople, and demonstrate internal commitment.
CEO commitment and communication eases and accelerates the process.
• Establish a strong governance model.
A sustainability program office—generally comprised of one to five people—can help set goals, manage employee communications, interact with external stakeholders, facilitate planning sessions, create and deliver educational information, and report results to senior management.
• Ensure employee engagement.
Successful sustainability efforts depend on the involvement of employees at all levels in the organization, but particularly at the grassroots.
• Drive operational efficiencies.
Begin by evaluating energy consumption and resource utilization.
• Implement technologies and policies to reduce business travel and commuting.
For many companies, especially those in service industries, employee travel is a significant source of indirect emissions.
• Employ product life-cycle analysis to inform new designs.
Life-cycle analysis looks at all the inputs, outputs and waste generated by a product from production to use to disposal.
• Communicate internally and externally.
Communicate with employees through newsletters, intranet sites, blogs, special events and other methods to build awareness and receive feedback at all levels, and in all areas of the company.
• Partner with the supply chain.
Leaders in sustainability are driving their suppliers to create sustainable business practices—in much the same way they encourage ethical and humane working conditions.
• Engage various stakeholders.
Some firms are working with well-recognized environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to provide their brands with certification and credibility.

Knox, ex-boyfriend to be tried in slaying of her roommate
Amanda Knox, of Seattle, and her former boyfriend were ordered Tuesday to stand trial in last year's slaying of her roommate, while the judge also convicted an Ivory Coast man in the killing, lawyers said.
The Associated Press
PERUGIA, Italy — Amanda Knox, of Seattle, and her former boyfriend were ordered Tuesday to stand trial in last year's slaying of her roommate, while the judge also convicted an Ivory Coast man in the killing, lawyers said.
The judge indicted Knox, 21, a University of Washington student, and Raffaele Sollecito, of Italy, on charges of murder and sexual violence in the stabbing death of Meredith Kercher, of England, said Francesco Maresca, a lawyer for the victim's family. Trial for the two, who deny wrongdoing, will start Dec. 4.
A third suspect, Rudy Hermann Guede, of the West African nation of Ivory Coast, was sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted on the same charges in a fast-track trial requested by his defense, Maresca said. Prosecutors had asked for life in jail.
Knox's attorney, Luciano Ghirga, said his client "was quite disappointed" by the ruling. "She is ready to start again," Ghirga told reporters. "The [first] hearing is very close; we have to reorganize our defense line in time."
Judge Paolo Micheli emerged with a verdict after almost 12 hours of deliberations. All the proceedings were held behind closed doors, and the three suspects awaited the ruling in separate cells at the courthouse.
Lawyers for Knox and Sollecito, who were jailed shortly after the slaying last Nov. 2, had asked that their clients be granted house arrest if indicted. Lawyers leaving the courthouse said Micheli did not rule on that request and that a decision was expected in the coming days. If convicted, Knox and Sollecito could face life in prison.
Knox's divorced parents, Curt Knox and Edda Mellas, both of Seattle, said in a statement they were "extremely disappointed and surprised" by the judge's decision, "given the weakness of the evidence against" their daughter.
"We believe that she will eventually be proven innocent of all charges against her and we will support her in every way possible as we work toward her complete exoneration," the parents said.
Kercher's family, including her mother, father, two brothers and a sister attended the hearing.
"We are as pleased as we can be with the decision. At the end of the day, we are here because our sister Meredith was murdered," her brother Lyle Kercher said at a news conference.
Kercher, a 21-year-old student, was found dead in the apartment she shared with Knox. She had been stabbed in the neck.
Prosecutors allege Kercher died during what began as a sex game, with Sollecito holding her by the shoulders from behind while Knox touched her with the point of a knife and Guede tried to sexually assault her. Prosecutors say Knox then fatally stabbed Kercher in the throat.
Guede, also 21, admitted being in the house but denied any part in the killing. He said that he was in the bathroom when Kercher was attacked and that he rushed into the bedroom to try to rescue her. He said he fled Italy after the slaying because he was frightened. Guede's defense said it would appeal the verdict.
Knox initially told investigators she was in the apartment when Kercher was killed and covered her ears against the victim's screams. Later, Knox said she wasn't in the house.
Sollecito, 24, has said that he was in his own apartment in Perugia at the time of the killing and that he doesn't remember whether Knox spent part or all of that night with him.
In Seattle, attorney Anne Bremner, who represents the group "Friends of Amanda," termed Tuesday's indictments "stunning" and was particularly disappointed that Knox was charged on all six counts.
"Our feeling has always been, and our complaint has been, that the tabloid accounts have influenced the courts."
King County Superior Court Judge Mike Heavey also has been a strong Seattle supporter of Knox's and tried to get the trial moved on grounds that leaks to the tabloid press from the prosecutor, police and prison officials would influence the case in Perugia.
Though Heavey said he, too, was extremely disappointed at Tuesday's news, he also saw a glimmer of encouragement in some of the Italian judge's words.
The judge said he might have ruled differently had there been more time to evaluate phone records procured within the past few weeks by Raffaele Sollecito's defense lawyers, Heavey said.
Those records purportedly show that Knox and her former boyfriend were at his house downloading a song at 9:46 p.m. the night of the slaying. An incomplete phone call made from the victim's cellphone at 10:01 p.m. may be able to show, Heavey said, that Kercher already was dead by then.
"If that can be shown at trial, then that will be good," Heavey said.
Seattle Times staff reporters Christine Clarridge and William Mari contributed to this report.

2013 and Earlier - Toyota Camry Prices Paid and Buying Experience
tranandy Posts: 1I just purchased my Camry Hybrid today from Capitol Toyota in San Jose, CA. I didn't place an order or put down a deposit. Walked onto the lot and saw two fully loaded ones sitting there - blue and white. I chose the blue fully loaded $30,667 MSRP.
After a little haggling, the price came down to:
$30,284 -- $383 off MSRP
and $33,100 OTD, which was $417.49 less than their OTD asking price. No hiddenfees or add-ons or anything like that.
These guys were pretty easy to deal with; eager to make a deal but, not too pushy.
There was still the white one at $30589 MSRP when I left. -
topgun7 Posts: 410A new G35 is coming out in the next few months. The resale value of the 06 G35 will take a pretty good hit. So it is more of a question of how long you intend to keep the car. Also the current G35 is about 4 to 5 years old now. So the design are at least 3 to 4 years older than the Camry TCH. It may or may not be important in your purchase decision. But at least it is something to think about.
kmkim Posts: 4I ordered my camry yesterday in Chicago.
Basically all dealer told me that they could sell this car to another customer although I wouldn't buy it.
It was so bad experience.
However,,, I bought one.
The price is $19919 without any options and taxes.
A dealer suggested $19800 and $20571 with moonroof, but it would take about two weeks.
They don't want to deal, so it is difficult to say dealer's real costs...
If you don't need it right now, please wait by this winter.
For a reference, they don't provide rebate for graduate students. only college student...
One more thing, Elgin & Northbrook was so inkind & suggested only MSRP!!!
Good luck!!! -
moeharri Posts: 108I believe you are incorrect about the graduate degree issue: "be enrolled in an accredited graduate degree program or have received a degree from an accredited graduate degree program during the last two years".
http://www.toyotafinancial.com/finance/college_grads.html -
wvgasguy Posts: 1,405They don't want to deal, so it is difficult to say dealer's real costs...
The dealers cost is the same reguardless of how they want to "deal". Market Value however is what the car brings with the current "supply and demand" situation and for some cars it may be $500 under invoice plus $2500 Rebate, for one it may be MSRP and in some cases (Ford Cobra) it may be $10,000+ over MSRP. As long as all the dealers are charging the same for the same car there is no use in getting mad about it. That's the market price. IF everybody is paying MSRP then it's a "decent" deal. They only way to beat the MSRP car deals is don't buy. If enough people don't then the prices drop, or in some cases like the Camry, if Market Supply increases, competition will drop the prices. I'm guessing the 2008 Camry will sell with the same marketing price structure as did the 2005 or 2006 Camries (local discounting to meet competition).
The dealer's real cost should be easily found on this website or kbb.com -
enak Posts: 2Hi guys,
I need some opinion about the price that i ordered 2 weeks ago in southern california.
SE V6, JBL, leather, auto-dimming rearview mirror, rear-spoiler, sunroof. They asked for $700 above invoice.
Edmunds invoice - $25,142
Dealer's invoice - $25,413
so, $25,413 + $700 - $400 (college grad) = $25,713 + TTL.
-what you guys think?
-Is it true that dealer take out the carpet from manufacture if we don't order it ($149 invoice?)
thanks, enak. -

pdkesq Posts: 14Spent the last month going back and forth with three Toyota in search of a Camry Hybrid. I'd actually ordered one from a Toyota dealer in California, we agreed to a deal on my trade and on the Camry. The day it comes in (took about 10 days) he calls and says its here but that he's going to have to knock 2K off what we agreed to for my trade. I told him to take the Camry and shove it. After going around with the other Toyota dealers again, I wound up buying an Acura TL. I'd really wanted the hybrid for the fuel saving, but the Acura was the same price fully loaded (got a great deal) and it drives much nicer than the Camry, so I'm happy.
Its kind of ironic. Toyota makes great cars but their dealers suck. Every time I go into a Toyota dealer its a miserable experience. They short change me on the trade, and, more often than not, are pretty rude. Everytime I'm in the market I hope for a better experience but so far, no luck. Not coincedentally, so far I've yet to buy a Toyota (chose a Honda, three Nissans, and an Acura instead). -
hotshot1 Posts: 3Hey Guys. This is my first time joining and posting. I always use to lurk for advice and info.
Anyway. Wanted to get you all's opinion on what deal I got. I was looking at the 06 Maxima cause of the power and handling (and beautiful 1500 rebate)
I got an 2007 SE V6 Camry (Gray):
-JBL CD Changer
-Rear Spoiler
-Sunroof Package
-Floor/Trunk Matts
For $26,957.51 out the door. (24,957.51 after trade).
Edmunds TMV last time checking was 25,480 for buyers in my area.
I live in NC by the way. Was going to go through Carsdirect.com (quoted sales 25,800) cause my wife hates it when I get it in paranoide mode.
I do great working with the dealer, its the paper work I hate because I've heard too many people's horror stories of getting a great deal but getting raked over the coals coming to signing the papers.
Wife said I made the poor guy earn his money by making sure everything was filled out and clearly stated and I got a copy of everything. Also no blankspots.
So how did I do?

safetrip1 Posts: 15The difficulty is that the invoice price listed in edmunds or kbb is different from what dealer's show you at their desk- usually higher than edmunds as much as $500-$1000.
So OTD price is the least confusing number to consider. Only problem is that dealers like to quote you in terms of invoice- $500 above invoice etc but later you find that that invoice is very different from what you were expecting based on edmunds. If edmunds can give truely real invoice price, things will be much simpler. -
wvgasguy Posts: 1,405My experience (from dealing with honest sales people) over 35+ new car purchases is that kbb and edmunds are very accurate. The problem is with invoices that include items like advertising and market adjustments and other dealer supplied options. The invoice for the specific items on the MSRP window sticker should only include those items. Anything else is a cost of business and should be rolled into their profit. Some dealers though want to advertise a good price over invoice so the raise the invoice with extras. It really doesn't matter because regionally they should be competitive. However you do have to compare OTD prices (including trades) to know if the deal is better. One dealer at $500 over invoice does not mean the same as another dealer at $500 over if the other dealer doesn't add on the extra adjustments. I would never recommend buying a car without at least two competitive prices unless you've dealt with them before and are familiar and satisfied with their practices.
martinf Posts: 121Its been a while, but I will do my best to give you all that I remember. I was just replying to someone on the Infiniti M45 Prices paid Forum who calls us "Grinders", so I just happened to catch your question. I ended up going with Mossy Toyota in San Diego. They advertised 10 cars at $18,996, but came down to $18,700 to match the price that Toyota Carlsbad offered on a car that was just not the right color for my mother. Bob Baker will often run a Friday ad for 3 to 5 cares for even less, but you need to be there at 8:00 am on Friday to buy one! Kearny Mesa Toyota Internet Manager was OK with $18,990 and I seem to recall him advertising that. Frank Toyota in San Diego also advertised the $18,XXX range. In Orange County, Toyota of Orange was also willing to match $18,700 or maybe even $18,500. Los Angeles dealers did not want to even counter my San Diego and O.C. offers. Go figure! To be "fair" to the dealers, I do believe that MSRP/Invoice on the vehicles has gone up about $250 since I bought mine. (I seem to recall MSRP $21,279, LE 4 cyl automatic, floor mats only).
No matter what you pay for the car, please get an extended warranty from Midwest Superstores Toyota (Kansas) or Mechanicsville Toyota (Virginia). You can get a 7yr/75,000 Toyota Platinum warranty, 0 deductible for less than $600. Toyotas are well made, but my 2001 Landcruiser blew a transmission that would have cost me over $3200. Even if you don't plan to keep the car, the person you will be selling it to will appreciate the protection. If you trade, you can get a pro-rated refund. Only if you know for sure that you will be trading the car prior to 3yrs/36,000miles would I not get the warranty for that price. For $1430, like Mossy offered me, that would have been different. Not for less than $600, however. -
hotshot1 Posts: 3What did you get? And what OTD price did you get? Also are you in NC?
I've noticed that certain places across the US are paying MSRP. My sister lives in Chicago and no dealer close to her would even touch the first round of offers I got here in NC.
In NC, I solicited quotes from 7 different toyota dealers in a 60 miles area. Over a week this was the lowest offer I got. I first used Carsdirect's price as a barometer when getting quotes.
All in all I feel like I can sleep soundly with the offer I got. Now the wait for delivery....

People from the old Days of KTXT, standing around discussing random bits of popculture.
Or just catching up on things since some of us have not hung out in a long time.
The guy with the beard, well that is Josh from The Fat Fingers of Justice. A read I must recommend.
There were food trucks, with mini pork burgers that where very tasty. They also had smoking peppers.
You might wonder why I did not bring my new 60 D on this outing, well it was because of bands like this. This is Off!, and they put on one hell of a show. But with all the moshing, and dust I would not want to risk it; so I left it at home.
I then suddenly remembered that Hipstamatic had a special lens for SXSW, so I started to play with it. This is the band Surfer Blood. They have a pretty good sound, but oddly this band had a bigger mosh pit than OFF!, which makes very little sense to me.
We then saw Big Freedia, which was possibly the best rap show I have ever seen.
We then finished off the evening with some Fried Chicken Waffle Tacos.
I think I am ready for a relaxing weekend next weekend.

Entertainment Center Slated for Wasilla
The Valley Family Fun Center, set to open late next year, could bring an economic boost to growing Wasilla.
The builder, Oregon businessman John Schwieger, is owner of the Coming Attractions Theaters chain, which operates 18 theaters in Northern California, Oregon and Washington state. Coming Attractions also owns the Valley Cinema in Wasilla. The Valley Family Fun Center will be constructed on five acres that Schwieger already owns adjacent to the Valley Cinema. Wasilla mayor Bert Cottle says negotiations have been going on for the better part of a year.
"We're excited, you know, it's expansion and economic development. That's the direction we want to go, economic development," Cottle says.
Cottle says the city welcomes the new facility, which is about half the size of the city's Curtis Menard Sports Center in Wasilla. When completed, the Fun Center is expected to provide up to 50 local jobs.
"We hope he does real well, because we survive on sales tax. So this is a good thing. "
Valley Fun Center owner, John Schwieger, speaking from Florida, says the complex will have numerous games and attractions, including an indoor track for racing carts. He says the lap times and driver skills will be monitored with an electric timing system used by NASCAR.
"This is something that is sweeping the nation now in popularity, and there are leagues being formed, and everything, and it will be outstanding. So what we are doing is bringing something brand new to the state of Alaska. "
Other elements to the entertainment center will be laser tag, video games, and of cours food. There'll be party rooms available to rent, too, Schweiger says. He calls it a "true entertainment city".
According to Karston Rodvik, spokesperson for AIDEA, the six million dollar facility will be paid for through AIDEA's Loan Participation Program. AIDEA is providing about 90 percent of the loan funding, or 5 point 4 million dollars.
"Our mission is to promote, develop and advance economic growth in the state of Alaska. And we do that by providing various means of financing an investment. One of our key programs, and a very longstanding, highly successful programs, is our loan participation program. We do this in partnership with Alaska's banks. "
Northrim Bank is providing a 600 thousand dollar loan for the project, according to Rodvik. The funding plan allows Northrim to originate the loan, and bring in AIDEA as a partner.
"The banks originate the loan, then they bring it to AIDEA. And we can purchase up to 90 percent of a loan, up to 20 million dollars, in order to advance business growth and economic development in Alaska. The most important benefit that AIDEA's loan participation offers to businesses, is the long – term, fixed interest rate. "
AIDEA's partnership with banks in the loan participation program has funded some highly visible entertainment projects, like The Bear Tooth Theater- Pub, and H2O water park in Anchorage, Pike's Waterfront Lodge in Fairbanks and the Mt. Roberts Tram in Juneau. Rodvik says the Valley Family Fun Center could be another success.
"We believe that the ownership and the management of this has a proven track record of profitability, they got a strong management team, he's gotsignificant strengths in his business experience in the entertainment related industry. We believe it will be a great assest to the Valley. "
AIDEA's Loan Participation program benefits borrowers by providing a 25 year fixed interest rate on a long term loan. AIDEA benefits in that participation increases the corporation's portfolio, Rodvik says. AIDEA is a self supporting entity, which earns money through it's investments and contributes an annual dividend to the state.
After 70 Years, WWII Dog Tag Discovered on Bering Sea Coast is Returning Home
On this Veterans Day after 70 years, a small piece of Earl Vogelar, a Michigan soldier stationed in Nome during World War II, is finally on its way home.
Nome resident Mario Gandolfo was combing the Bering Sea coast for sea glass last week when he says the small brass treasure found its way into his hands.
"I bent down to pick up a piece of sea glass and the wave went out, and as I was picking it up the wave came back in and with the wave—the only way I can really describe it—it was almost as if God's hand had incorporated into a wave and he placed this 1943 World War II dog tag into my hand," said Gandolfo. "And I just looked at it and stood up in complete shock."
Perfectly preserved though battered by the waves, the dog tag identified Vogelar as a solider from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Gandolfo said, immediately, he wondered what happened to the solider and how his tag wound up in the Bering Sea.
"I was in basically a mild state of shock because all these things were going through my mind: were they out of maneuvers and they hit a reef or something off of Nome and they sunk and everybody was lost on board? All these things were going through my mind," said Gandolfo. "I've got to find out what happened to this man."
After a bit of investigation with help from social media and a Grand Rapids television station, Vogelar's family was located. It turns out the soldier was stationed at what is now the Nome Airport. He was a member of the 11th Airforce Squadron and helped transport tanks and planes from the Lower 48 to Alaska. A survivor of the war, Vogelar finished his life as a welder and died in 1994.
Due to a family feud, Vogelar never knew his grandson Dustin, but Gandolfo was able to meet Dustin over Skype to share the news of the recovered tag and see photos of Vogelar as a young soldier.
"Even right now sitting here my arms…the hair is standing up. I just get all chilled thinking about it," said Gandolfo. "I mean, most people's reaction would be, 'That's cool, I'm gonna keep this,' but to me, this is somebody's life and obviously it was lost and it had to find its way back to where it belonged."
Vogelar's tag is currently on its way home to Linda, his eldest daughter, and Gandolfo said he's happy his stroke of luck came at the opportune time.
"I feel really good, especially because I found these people before Veteran's Day. That makes it even more special, you know? There aren't that many WWII vets left and we should cherish and honor them each day that we can," said Gandolfo.
And if this rare find isn't impressive enough, Gandolfo added that he believes he found two other military relics along the beach this week: a Confederate States of America brass belt buckle and a fork from the U.S. Army.
With Votes Still Coming In, Elections Division Prepares For Count
After a week of collecting and reviewing absentee and questioned ballots, the Division of Elections will start counting votes on Tuesday.
The Division of Elections has nearly 50,000 uncounted ballots in its possession with more still coming in. Director Gail Fenumiai says it's unlikely that staff will get through all of them in one day.
"I would love to have half, but I don't know if we're going to be there. We really are trying to concentrate on those districts that we haven't counted any absentees for yet."
Some of the regional elections offices will start their counts at 9am. In Anchorage, workers will start opening ballots at 1pm. Because absentee ballots in some districts have already been counted, Fenumiai says the focus will be on places like Juneau and the Kenai Peninsula where no absentees have been processed.
"I know for sure we're counting the rest of the early votes that haven't been counted, which is just a little over 2,600," says Fenumiai. "But we're hoping to dig into some questioned ballots and get a bunch of absentees ballots for districts that haven't already been counted."
Even after Tuesday's count, the number of ballots could continue to rise. The Division of Elections accepts absentee ballots postmarked within the United States through Friday, with a deadline of November 19 for absentee ballots mailed from abroad.
But in recent days, the biggest gains the Division of Elections has seen have been in the category of "absentee in-person" votes. Those are votes cast at regional election offices or at 200-odd voting stations across the state in advance of Election Day.
So far, 10,000 absentee in-person ballots have been returned.
"Our mail is starting to slow down, we're not getting a lot of ballots in the mail," says Fenumiai. "But we're still continuing to see a rise in the ballots to be counted due to those [absentee in-person] ballots."
This has resulted in some vagueness over the total number of votes cast. The Division of Elections has a sense of how many mailed absentee ballots they have to process, because those need to be requested in advance. But Fenumiai says there isn't an estimate of how many more absentee in-person votes may come in because those ballots don't require any sort of early paperwork from voters.
"It would require a daily monitoring of 200+ locations to find out how many people did [elections workers have] vote each day," says Fenumiai. "So it's just something that isn't done because that's a huge task."
Right now, neither the Senate race nor the gubernatorial race has been conceded. Republican Dan Sullivan leads Democratic incumbent Mark Begich by 8,000 votes in the Senate race, while unaffiliated candidate Bill Walker has a 3,000-vote lead over Republican Gov. Sean Parnell.
The Division of Elections expects to update its unofficial results by early evening on Tuesday.

Some Communities Investigating Local Option To Ban Marijuana
Matthew Smith, KNOM – Nome
Though the final count is still pending, unofficial results show Alaskans voting "yes" to legalizing marijuana in last week's election. But the road to a legal and regulated marijuana market is months away, and communities who still want to keep the divisive drug out are looking at doing so the same way many currently ban alcohol: the local option.

Settlement Signed In Sitka Gender Equity Dispute
Robert Woolsey, KCAW – Sitka
The Sitka School District has reached a settlement in a gender equity dispute over the community's new ball field.
The resolution averts a full blown civil rights investigation, but also means that high school baseball and softball will have to arrive at an equitable practice and game schedule at the city-owned field – a goal which has been difficult to achieve so far.
One Option To Avoid High Housing Costs In Juneau: Live On a Boat
Kayla Desroches, KTOO – Juneau
Juneau has some of the highest housing prices in Alaska. According to the state Department of Labor, the average single family home costs $349,000 dollars in the capital city. A typical rental unit is more than a thousand dollars a month.
One way to combat the high cost of housing is to rent a slip on the docks for a houseboat or a live aboard.
Appeals Court Revives Alaska Suit On Roadless Rule
Alaska will continue its court battle against a U.S. Forest Service policy that blocks logging in undeveloped areas of national forests.
In a 3-0 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit reversed a federal judge's ruling that Alaska waited too long to file its complaint.
The appeals court said Alaska's lawsuit, filed in 2011, was within a six-year time limit.
The U.S. Forest Service argued that the clock on Alaska's suit began running in 2001 when the roadless rule was issued. The three-judge appeals panel disagreed, saying the rule was repealed in 2005 by the Forest Service and reinstated in 2006 by a federal judge.

Team Documents Elders' Memories of Colder Winters
Multimedia producers are in Alaska gathering audio for a project called 'Winters Past'. Their first stop was in Bethel where they're talking with elders about how they've seen the climate change in their lifetime.
Two years ago around Thanksgiving Isaac Kestenbaum read an article in his local paper about how his grandparents' generation used to skate outside during Thanksgiving. Growing up in Maine that was something he'd never seen because it wasn't cold enough. It got him thinking about preserving memories of winters past before they're lost to climate change.
"So I just started to think about how winter is changing and how our expectations of winter as a season are changing so I wanted to find a way to capture that so we started this project called Winters Past and the idea is to capture memories of winter the way winter used to be, to kind of preserve those memories and then to share those memories with other people," said Kestenbaum.
Brooklyn-based Kestenbaum grew up in Deer Isle, Maine. He's worked as a newspaper reporter and as a producer for the radio program Story Corps. He and his wife, fellow-multimedia producer, Josie Holtzman got a small grant to fund their project and they began collecting stories in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York. A highlight was talking with people who remember spending winters doing a sport called 'ice-yachting'. Imagine an ice skate merged with a sailboat and that's essentially what the nearly forgotten sport is.
"It used to happen right on the Hudson River, which is the big river that runs through New York State. And it use to happen every winter regularly. The river would freeze from end to end and thousands of people would come out to watch these ice yachts race each other. Today that sport is carried on by kind of a handful of eccentric die-hards who rarely get out on the ice as much as they used to because the winters are just getting so much warmer," said Kestenbaum.
Then, last winter, Kestenbaum saw a news report about how there was nearly no snow on the ground in Alaska during the 2014 Iditarod. They booked their tickets for Alaska. Kestenbaum and Holtzman's first stop was in Bethel, gathering stories at the Senior Center. They'll also travel to Akiak where they plan to interview dog mushers. They'll also be gathering stories in Anchorage and Kotzebue. The stories will be produced and shared through their Winters Past podcast and eventually air on public radio programs.
Settlement Signed In Sitka Gender Equity Dispute
The Sitka School District has reached a settlement in a gender equity dispute over the community's new ball field.
The resolution means that high school baseball and softball will have to arrive at an equitable practice and game schedule at the city-owned field — a goal which has been difficult to achieve so far.
Superintendent Mary Wegner informed the school board Tuesday night (11-4-14) that an agreement had been signed with the individual who filed the complaint under a federal anti-discrimination statute commonly known as Title IX.
"The settlement proposed by the complainant was something that was very realistic, and something that will help us move our initiative forward in sharing Moller Field."
The agreement was drafted by the federal Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights under the "Early Complaint Resolution" process. The agreement averts further investigation into gender equity in Sitka's schools. District officials feared that a full-blown Title IX investigation would put several relatively recent programs at risk, such as football and soccer.
The agreement itself is only three paragraphs. It requires the district to develop a plan this fall for scheduling varsity baseball and softball teams for the 2015 season. The district must reaffirm its responsibility to ensure that both genders receive "equivalent benefits with respect to practice and game facilities," and finally, the agreement does not constitute an admission of any violation of Title IX by the district, and the complaint is officially withdrawn.
"You know I'm really excited to see this," says softball coach Bob Potrzuski. "Practice facilities, times of practice. Where one team is using the facility, it's going to be on an equal basis with the other, and I think that's exactly what we wanted."
Moller Field opened in 2012 after a $2.6-million dollar renovation, including artificial turf and lights. Baseball, which historically played there, claimed the new field, though accommodations — such as a removeable pitcher's mound and temporary outfield fence — were provided for softball games.
And a final twist: Moller Field doesn't belong to the district. It's owned by the city. Potrzuski says that created a grey area of scheduling that the Office of Civil Rights resolution has fixed.
"What it's done is asserted the school district's authority to assign Moller Field to high school teams."
The OCR resolution specifies that the city's Parks and Recreation participate — if needed — in the scheduling process developed for the spring season.
Sitka's municipal government has already weighed in on the problem: It's proposed asking the legislature for $1.5-million in renovations to the Frank Vilandre Field at Blatchley Middle School, so that it can be used for softball and Little League.
Superintendent Mary Wegner said the softball funding request was still on the table. And coach Potrzuski — though perfectly content with the OCR settlement — wouldn't say no to a new field either.
"If the community can bear it, if the state can bear it, if this is something that certainly people bigger than me think that they can provide for our kids — I'm all for it."
Potrzuski has consistently advocated for equity for his team, but did not file the Title IX complaint. That individual's name will remain confidential. However, had the parties not arrived at an early resolution, the complainant would have been required to come forward in the public process associated with a Title IX investigation.
One Option To Avoid High Housing Costs In Juneau: Live On a Boat
Juneau has some of the highest housing prices in Alaska. According to the state Department of Labor, the average single family home costs $349,000 dollars in the capital city. A typical rental unit is more than a thousand dollars a month.
One way to combat the high cost of housing is to rent a slip on the docks for a houseboat or a live aboard.
Carrie Warren and her three children live in Aurora Harbor. She's originally from Washington state, but has lived in Alaska on and off for 20 years. In 2013, she moved to Juneau from Tenakee Springs. As soon as she came to town, she started looking for housing and found a houseboat that suited her needs.
"I chose it because I could actually own it. There are not very many things in Juneau that you can purchase for 50,000 dollars or less."
Warren says the seller financed the boat for her, and she paid it off in about a year and a half.
She says harbor fees add up to around $200 a month, plus a little extra for utilities. The city'sDocks and Harbors department provides power, water, outhouses and a sewage pump-out. Warren says cooking can be a challenge.
"I have a Dickinson stove that doesn't work," she says. "It's not hooked up. And even if it did, that's mostly for heat. You can't bake on it. I mean, you can heat water. I can make a mean pumpkin pie in my toaster oven. I don't have a microwave. Electricity is hard because you can't have too many things happening at once. You blow your breaker."
Warren is a single mother who home-schools her kids and the boat is about 200 square feet. She says sometimes it's a challenge to make sure the family gets along in such a small area. Warren's older son plays upright bass and her daughter French horn and they need to arrange individual practice times.
"Our space and boundaries are different than most people's, and rather than sit around and whine about it, you just suck it up," Warren says.
Katie Spielberger is Warren's neighbor. She lives in a houseboat with her partner and a cat.
"A couple of our neighbors have seen the cat and have come by with an extra can of cat food or half a container of kitty litter that they found in the free bin," she says.
Spielberger works for the state and has been in Juneau for about nine years. She compares living on a boat to the tiny house movement, in which architects design homes that are less than 400 square feet. She says living in a small area has made her more creative.
"It's kind of nice to have that challenge to simplify things and it feels very rewarding when you actually can live in such a small space and have everything you need," Spielberger says.
She hangs as much as she can on walls, takes advantage of all available space and rents a storage unit. Spielberger says living on a houseboat provides the best of Juneau at an affordable price.
"It feels very much of this place," she says. "You don't feel like you're living in a house that could be anywhere. The views surrounding a boat in any harbor in Southeast Alaska, I think are gorgeous and hard to beat except at some very nice land property."
In addition to houseboats, some people in Juneau have live-aboards.
"There's a live-aboard vessel which is just your normal boat that somebody might live on," explains Harbormaster Dave Borg. "And then we do have some houseboats designated specifically just as a houseboat. They generally don't have any mode of power."
Borg says there are nine houseboats in Aurora, three in Douglas Harbor, two in Harris Harbor, and nearly 140 live-aboards. Monthly moorage fees are $4.20 per foot.
Warren says there are unique problems with houseboats, but they're mostly in-line with other homeowner concerns.
"When it's real windy, it's a little freaky. You know, I worry about things like my canvas blowing away, but you know, I think any homeowner when it's stormy and yucky has those same kinds of worries. Anybody who's living in a not super insulated home has those same kinds of worries," says Warren.
And she says it's more affordable than other housing alternatives.
Lawsuit Claims Chukchi Rules Fail to Protect Walrus
A coalition of environmental groups filed a lawsuit today against the Fish and Wildlife Service, saying its rule allowing the oil industry to disturb or harm Pacific walrus in the Chukchi Sea violates the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
Earthjustice attorney Erik Grafe says the rule the Fish and Wildlife Service issued last year isn't specific enough to protect walrus from seismic work, oil drilling and other industry activity in the Chukchi Sea.
"Instead the rule defers analysis of the impact of oil and gas activities at the Hanna Shoal and mitigation of those effects to a later stage that is not subject to public comment and that the people don't get to know about until after the fact," he said.
The waters governed by the rule, off Alaska's northwest shore, include an area where Shell has leases and may resume exploration as early as next year. The Fish and Wildlife Service determined industrial activity would harm only a small number of walrus. The rules require aircraft to stay away from the animals and limits seismic noise when walrus are present.
Grafe says walrus are already suffering from a massive loss of sea ice that used to allow them to rest closer to their foraging grounds. Now, Grafe says, they congregate on land in summer and travel to productive areas like the Hanna Shoal, a 30-mile shallow shelf that's near Shell's Burger Prospect.
"So what they're having to do is swim all the way from those coastal haul outs, all the way out to the Hanna Shoal to feed and then swim all the way back," Grafe says. "And this is mothers and calves and it's a huge burden on them and a huge stress, and allowing activities in the Hanna Shoal without analyzing those impacts just adds to walruses' woes."
Kara Moriarity, president of the Alaska Oil and Gas Association, says walrus are already protected by law. She says the Fish and Wildlife service rule includes flexibility so companies can meet protection standards using the latest technology. Moriarity says her group is still studying the suit.
"It appears, at first blush anyway, this could just be another attempt to delay progress through frivolous litigation, because we've certainly seen our fair share of that," she said.
Earthjustice filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on behalf of the Alaska Wilderness League, Greenpeace and four other environmental groups.
Y-K Delta Representative Bob Herron Named Majority Whip
Y-K Delta House Representative Bob Herron will be the Whip for the Majority Caucus this January. Herron and the Republican-led caucus just finished two days of organization meetings. As Majority Whip, the District 38 Democrat is charged with making sure there is effective communication in the caucus.
"Like a collie dog, to keep the group going in the right direction. It's an honor, to say the least, because you're in all leadership meetings internally in the house, and when the House meets with the Senate and their leadership, you're always in the meeting," said Herron.
Herron will chair the special committee on Military & Veterans Affairs and be Vice-Chair of the Legislative Council, which runs the legislature in the interim periods. He'll also serve on the Resources committee and the special committee on Fisheries.
The resources committee is expected to play a key role in figuring out whether and how the state should advance a large diameter natural gas pipeline with major oil companies.
"If it doesn't make sense to them it ain't going to happen, if it doesn't make sense to us, it's not going to happen. But that's not what we're anticipating. We believe we'll put together a project that does make sense for us, brings affordable gas from the slope to people in Alaska, and it generates a revenue stream that will help Alaskans for a long time," said Herron.
Herron says the next decision point for the state and oil companies will be near to 2016. Legislators will have to contend with falling oil prices, which could mean a multi-billion dollar deficit for the state, depending on what the future budgets look like. Herron says tough decisions are ahead.
Alaska has become accustomed to providing many services. Are there going to be reductions? Most likely, but it's how you do it. I don't envy the people of Finance who have to come back to the rest of the legislature and say 'here's what's we think we can do that is the least painful,'" said Herron.
Representative Bryce Edgmon of Dillingham who represents the upper Kuskokwim will serve on the Finance committee. The legislature meets January 20th.
Worst of Bering Sea Storm Over for Aleutian Island Residents
A potent low-pressure system is quickly losing power over the Bering Sea.
From the western Aleutian Islands to the Pribilofs, National Weather Service meteorologist Shaun Baines says "everybody has seen the worst of it."
"Originally, all indications were that this low was going to progress a little bit further into the Bering Sea before it slowed down," Baines says.
That would have made for rougher seas and higher winds near Adak and Atka. Instead, the storm stalled out in the southwest Bering Sea. And the biggest winds and waves struck in an area where few people were actually around to see them — the far western Aleutian Islands.
The top gust was clocked at 96 miles per hour on Shemya Friday morning. It's not clear how big the waves got, since the National Weather Service's weather buoy wasn't transmitting full data reports.
So far, no major damage has been reported along the Aleutians or Pribilofs as a result of the storm. The Coast Guard has been monitoring the region, but Petty Officer Diana Honings says there had been no emergencies as of Saturday afternoon.
Justin Patterson helps run the CarQuest auto supply store and repair shop in Unalaska. Before rough weather hit on Friday, he walked around the property tying down loose parts.
Patterson has only lived in Unalaska for three months. He says he also prepared to face the storm on a personal level.
"I figured it would be like some sort of life-altering experience," says Patterson. "I mean, I was praying."
Unalaska didn't see hurricane-force winds Friday night. The top gusts were only about 35 miles per hour.
And while there weren't any reports of damage, police sergeant Jennifer Shockley says there was a potential assault at Unalaska's sports bar.
"When we have bad storms and people are trapped here in port for a while, we do sometimes get a lot of drunken activity that results in a lot of criminal charges," Shockley says. "But it's been relatively quiet."
Several crab fishing vessels pulled into Unalaska to dodge rough seas. But they may not have reason to stay much longer.
"As this storm continues eastward, it will continue to weaken," says Baines, the meteorologist. "The winds will pick back up again in Adak and even in Unalaska, but it will be very typical wintertime winds."
Unalaska can expect to see winds around 30 miles per hour into next week. Those gusts may be slightly higher in Adak.
By Wednesday, Baines says the storm will likely dissipate. But it will have an impact in the Lower 48 for another week or so.
That's because the low pressure system created a ridge in the weather scale pattern, which will send cold air spilling out of Canada into the contiguous United States. Temperatures will be below average for there the next week, Baines says, and warmer than usual in Alaska.
Trial Begins For Man Charged With Killing VPSO Thomas Madole
After a lengthy four days to select a jury, opening statements were made Friday morning in the murder trial of Leroy Dick Jr. at the courthouse in Dillingham.
Dick is charged with first degree murder for the killing of unarmed Village Public Safety Officer Thomas Madole in Manokotak in 2013.
In his opening statement, state prosecutor Gregg Olson described the scene after the murder as investigators collected evidence, including the spent .223 shell casings outside of Dick's home in the village.
"They recovered shell casings in various locations," Olson said. "There were, I believe, six shell casings closer to the front door of the house, and then one final shell case next to VPSO Madole's body."
Olson said an autopsy showed Madole had several gunshot wounds to the lower portion of his body, and one gunshot wound to the head.
In his opening statement, defense attorney Lars Johnson told the jurors the state would not be able to prove that Leroy Dick had intended to kill Officer Madole, which is the substance of a first degree murder charge.
"Leroy killed Officer Madole. We're not going to argue otherwise, that's the reality of the situation. But it takes more than that for the state to ask you to convict him of first degree murder," Johnson said. "It takes that intent to cause the death."
Jurors heard testimony Friday morning from the Manokotak health aide who had called officer Madole to respond to the scene, then warned him about going there alone. Also called to testify was state trooper Victor Aye, a VPSO support trooper who spent that morning with Tom Madole in Manokotak and had flown back to Dillingham only moments before Madole was shot and killed.
The state presented evidence until 3 p.m. Friday. The trial is expected to resume Monday morning.
Bering Sea Storm Expected To Lose Power Quickly
After a week of warnings, a heavy-duty storm washed into the Bering Sea early this morning. Hurricane-force winds smacked the far western Aleutian Islands. And while the storm has disturbed life at sea, it's expected to start losing power fast.
How Will Legal Marijuana Work In Rural Alaska?
Early next year, Alaskans will be able to legally buy, transport, and use small amounts of marijuana. The initiative will not be law until three months after the vote is certified, and the state has more time to come up with rules for marijuana sales.
In the meantime, there are still many questions about how legal marijuana would work in rural Alaska. Municipalities have the option to ban the sale of marijuana, but they can't restrict transportation or possession. The campaign to oppose marijuana had its base in rural Alaska, and named Akiak's Mike Williams as its chairman. He says he's disappointed in the results.
"The villages need to take a look at what they can do, at the local level, the tribal level, and continue to pursue making sure that our communities are healthy," Williams said.
Many questions remain on the law enforcement aspect of legal marijuana, but it's clear that Alaska's large rivers remain under federal law, which prohibits marijuana.
Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow, a Coast Guard spokesperson, says his agency's crews are responsible for federal navigable waterways, including the transportation corridors of the Kuskowkim and Yukon rivers.
"They are federal law enforcement agents so if they encounter people who are in violation of federal drug laws, we do have the authority to seize the illegal drug and possibly take that person into custody depending on the amount and what the situation was," Wadlow said.
The Coast Guard would follow up with other law enforcement. Wadlow emphasizes that the Coast Guard's other top concern is making sure people are not boating under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
The law doesn't restrict employers' ability to outlaw drug use. Williams says that's a tool that may expand in the coming months.
"Maybe it would be time for mandatory drug testing to all of the employees in schools and community organizations," Williams said.
Bethel voters were split on the vote to legalize the possession and use of marijuana, with 52 percent voting against legalization, and 48 percent for the ballot measure. It passed statewide with those percentages flipped: 52 percent for, and 48 percent against.
Alaska Miners Association Convention Held In Anchorage
The Alaska Miner's Association annual convention has been going on all week in Anchorage. Coinciding with the AMA's 75th year, is the 25th anniversary of Kotzebue's Red Dog Mine.
The success of Red Dog did not come easy, according to NANA Regional Corporation CEO Marie Greene, who was Friday's keynote speaker. Green said NANA is uniquely positioned to meet development needs of the future.
"Northwest Alaska has many of the minerals that the world will need in the future, and the world is looking North," Green said. "Climate change, open ocean shipping routes, potential existing mineral development and off shore oil and gas exploration and development are drawing global attention."
Green says it all began with Red Dog, the mine developed in partnership with Teck – Cominco, but getting the mine started was a long, difficult process. When mining giant Cominco found zinc in the region in 1980, there was opposition to a large scale mine. Lawsuits and counter suits followed, but Alaska Native land claims under new federal legislation enabled NANA to select the lands where the mine is now located.
Since it's start in 1989, Red Dog mine has provided $1 billion in proceeds to NANA, $608 million to other regions and $199 million to shareholders.
Chenault Extends Record As House Speaker
Nikiski Republican Mike Chenault will serve his fourth term as House Speaker in the Alaska State Legislature. That will make him the longest serving speaker in legislative history.
At a press conference on Friday, Chenault stressed that advancing the development of a gasline is a major goal for the Republican majority in the House. He also said he would be willing to work with unaffiliated candidate Bill Walker, should Walker's lead in the governor's race hold.
"No one wants to be adversarial to start with," said Chenault. "I think that what we will do is wait until it's determined who are next governor is going to be, and then we will have those conversations about what directions the state should go."
Chenault and Walker have in the past disagreed on where a gasline should end, what stake the state should have in it, and if the state should pursue the development of a small-diameter bullet line as backup plan should a deal to build a bigger line fall apart.
Chenault also said the state of the budget will be driving a lot of the Legislature's work this spring. With the price of oil down substantially, a major revenue shortfall is expected.
Chenault said a draw from savings is likely, and that the majority could have to win over some support from the small Democratic minority to get the votes necessary to tap the constitutional budget reserve.
"If that happens to be the case and we end up in a position because of the price of a barrel of oil or the revenue stream, and we've got to go to the [constitutional budget reserve], then we'll negotiate with the minority over what it's going to take to be able to fund Alaska's budget," said Chenault.
The Democratic minorities in the House and Senate have also selected their leaders. Anchorage Democrat Berta Gardner will lead the Senate minority.
"We are happy to work with anybody on any issue whether they're in our caucus or not in our caucus," said Gardner in an interview. She added that she expects her caucus to have more access to the executive branch should Walker win election.
Anchorage Democrat Chris Tuck will again lead the House minority caucus.

Crews Troubleshoot Bethel's Pool Sprinkler System
There's no timeline for reopening the $24 million Bethel pool, which closed right after the grand opening this past Saturday due to a sprinkler system issue.
Acting City Manager Pete Williams says the city wants to have experts look at the system, in light of the recent devastating fire at the new Alcohol Treatment center.
"As we speak they are trying to determine what the problem is, until they can determine what it is and what's needed for the fix, it's hard to give a timeline of when it will be open again," said Williams.
Doug Cobb works for ProDev, the project management firm, and is in Bethel trying to figure out the issue.
"We have pressure at the hydrant and there's something inconsistent in the building, we have gotten the system to work successfully several times, but to pass that test that has to be done over and over, and over. That's what we're troubleshooting," said Cobb.
Williams says the crews thought they had found the problem Thursday morning, but another issue popped up.
The state Fire Marshall granted the city an exception last Saturday to host the grand opening, even though inspectors the day before found the pressure to run the sprinkler system to be inadequate.
Cobb says a fire sprinkler specialist from the Lower 48 has been consulted in the troubleshooting.

Linux Plumbers Conference Continues
The second day of the Linux Plumbers Conference got off to a productive start with an address by Jonathan Corbet, co-founder of LWN.net. "The Kernel Report" covered the challenges facing the kernel development community and the current or pending responses to those challenges, as well as a short summary of the Kernel Summit held earlier this week.
With the next release of the kernel, 2.6.27, due within the next few weeks, Corbet stressed two key points: that the development community at large isn't doing enough about security issues – which are increasing dramatically – and that the importance of the "upstream first" policy cannot be taken lightly. He also said that if developers aren't part of the community process, what results from that process will not meet their needs.
Overall, Corbet spoke highly of the progress the community is making, adding that by avoiding closed hardware and uncooperative development companies, the accomplishments will be even greater.

wage-price control
wage-price control
Setting of government guidelines to limit increases in wages and prices. It is one of the most extreme approaches to incomes policy. By controlling wages and prices, governments hope to control inflation and prevent extremes in the business cycle. Countries with highly centralized methods of setting wages tend to have the greatest degree of public or collective regulation of wage and price levels. For example, wage settlements in The Netherlands must be approved by the government, and price increases are investigated by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Other countries, including the U.S., have also made efforts at restraining wage and price increases, usually seeking the voluntary cooperation of management and labour. In the U.S., wage-price controls were instituted by Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II and by Pres. Richard M. Nixon in the early 1970s, when high inflation combined with rising unemployment to create instability.
