Branstad "Steers Clear" – Loebsack Speaks Out
Capitol Digest (QC Times- Mar 30)
INDIANA CONTROVERSY: Republican Gov. Terry Branstad said Monday he was steering clear of a controversy in Indiana over a religious liberties law that has raised concerns over possible discriminatory action toward gays and lesbians in the Hoosier State. Branstad told reporters he did not know enough about the political controversy in Indiana to comment but said Iowa's approach has been and will be to treat everybody with respect and dignity.
Another Iowa politician, Democratic U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, however, issued a statement Monday hoping that companies in Indiana or businesses that were looking to move to Indiana would instead to take a look at basing their companies in Iowa, which he said has a history of leading the fight for civil rights based on race, gender or sexual orientation.
Last week, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed a religious freedom restoration act that detractors say would allow businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians who are not recognized as a protected class in that state as they are in Iowa.
Iowan To Pipeline Representative "I Don't Want You On My Land"
"The pipeline representative called me to talk about coming out here to survey… I told her they'd have to carry me out in a pine box before I'd let any oil pipeline people on my property. And you know how she responded… She said, 'I'll make a note of that.'"

Crossing the Des Moines River Valley north of Boone proves refreshing, invigorating. The nearly two-mile stretch offers a dramatic contrast to the flat farm fields that suddenly give way to rolling, wooded bluffs cascading down to the river below. The valley's beauty is slightly soiled in my mind as I consider the impact of a pipeline break at this location.
I stop at a house on the riverbank and am greeted by three charging jack terriers. A cheery woman calls them off, and without even asking my name or mission, invites me in to visit with her husband.
I step into a fishing cabin and find myself face to face with an older, bearded gentleman in bib overalls. He is delightful, full of stories, questions and history. He clearly loves the river, and spends much of his time fishing. On two recent occasions, the river rose to the very edge of where we are seated. I suggest climate change, but he's inclined to blame the Army Corps of Engineers.
We entertain each other with a mix of pipeline, professional and personal stories while I devour two peanut-butter sandwiches and give my feet a much-needed massage.
I cross the river and come to a beautiful, well-kept farm house with a bright red barn. Teresa Phipps answers the door, and invites me in to talk with her husband, Weslie, a farmer and self-described strict constitutionalist, who is adamantly against the pipeline.
"The pipeline representative called me to talk about coming out here to survey," Weslie informs me. "I told her they'd have to carry me out in a pine box before I'd let any oil pipeline people on my property."
"And you know how she responded," continued Weslie, still a bit shocked from the recollection. "She said, 'I'll make a note of that.'"
The pipeline would lie about 400 feet from the Phipps' well. "I told them I'm not going to take a penny from you and I don't want you on my land, because I don't want to get a letter someday saying that I'm liable for a spill," said Weslie.
Good question, and one that comes up a lot. When the pipeline breaks, who ultimately will be stuck with the cleanup cost?
As I cross the river that provides drinking water to a big chunk of Iowa's population, I wonder how much damage a pipeline break here would cause. What if Dakota Access – a LIMITED liability corporation – just walked away from the disaster? Who would be left holding the bag? Landowners? Taxpayers?
The price tag for cleanup of the Exxon spill on the Yellowstone River earlier this year continues to rise, now at $135 million. The 2010 Enbridge spill on the Kalamazoo River has swelled to $1.2 billion. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico has cost $42 billion – so far.
And what does it mean to "clean-up" a damaged waterway? The standard argued by a slick corporate lawyer in court might not be acceptable to people and animals living along the Des Moines River, or for those living downstream depending upon the river for their drinking water.
I climb out of the valley, slightly winded from the fairly steep hike, with the thought on my mind that landowners may have a particularly important point of view in the public debate on this pipeline; yet all of us, across Iowa and beyond, have a stake in this battle, and our opinions matter as much as anyone's.
What To Do Instead Of Arguing With A Conservative
Yes, you've seen these kinds of videos before but this one is actually pretty good.
"In MRI studies when people see information that contradicts their world view the parts of the brain involved in reasoning and logic would actually shut down. Instead it was the parts of the brain that handled attacks and the fight or flight response that lit up."
Summary: A Safe And Secure Iowa Medical Cannabis Program
A safe and secure Iowa medical cannabis program
A responsible, compassionate response to suffering:
Establishing an Iowa medical cannabis program is the most responsible, compassionate alternative to continuing to tell Iowans to either (1) suffer in silence, (2) use legal but ineffective or dangerous medicines, (3) break the law by obtaining medical cannabis illegally, or, (4) leave their homes and move to a different state.
Equal access for Iowans:
Iowans strongly believe that their friends and neighbors with debilitating conditions deserve the same access to medicines already legally available to more than half of all Americans, including the residents of Minnesota and Illinois.
A medical approach instead of political posturing:
Political gridlock prevents the federal government from regulating medical cannabis in a manner similar to other medicines. In response to the federal government's failure to act, 23 states have created regulated systems to provide their citizens with access to medical cannabis.
Instead of reinventing the wheel, Iowa can draw from the best of these state-level programs. Iowans can be provided access to medical cannabis in a way similar to other, federally approved medicines, medicines that are often inherently more dangerous and addictive than medicines made from cannabis.
How would Iowa's medical cannabis program work?
The diseases covered by Iowa's existing medical cannabis law would be expanded from intractable epilepsy to include cancer, multiple sclerosis, AIDS/HIV, glaucoma, Hepatitis C, Crohn's Disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and chronic pain resulting from an underlying medical condition.
The diseases covered by Iowa's existing medical cannabis law would be expanded from intractable epilepsy to include cancer, multiple sclerosis, AIDS/HIV, glaucoma, Hepatitis C, Crohn's Disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and chronic pain resulting from an underlying medical condition.
The Iowa Department of Health would have overall responsibility for the program. A Medical Advisory Board would oversee the program and decide on future proposed medical conditions.
An individual's certification for medical cannabis would be based on Minnesota's approach: a written certification from a licensed health care practitioner that the patient suffers from one of the eligible medical conditions.
To address the main reason for the failure of last year's medical cannabis law, SSB 1243 calls for licensing of four Iowa-based medical cannabis manufacturers and 12 dispensaries. Manufacturers and dispensaries are subject to inspections and strict security requirements.
The Iowa Department of Health would determine the form and quantity of medical cannabis available to patients. Smoking of medical cannabis is prohibited.

Why Is Governor Branstad Dismantling Medicaid?
From the newsletter of Senator Bolkcom (D) – Iowa City
Medicaid provides health coverage to just over a half million of the most vulnerable people in our state, including seniors, families and children, pregnant women, and people living with disabilities.
In January, Governor Branstad surprised Iowans with a proposal to privatize almost all of Iowa's Medicaid system, which is jointly funded and administered by the federal and state governments.
Iowa's Governor has again decided on his own to make big changes to the health care of other people—people without much political power.
At this moment, only two things are certain.
One: There will be major changes to the health care of at-risk Iowans and to essential services for seniors and the disabled. This includes the social safety net that all Iowa families might need in the future.
Two: With a cost of $4.2 billion, this will be the largest single purchase in state history. The winner will most likely be for-profit, out-of-state companies that will take home as much as $630 million a year. [Bolding BFIA's]
Under the Governor's plan, these decisions will be made at breakneck speed by a handful of people in his administration. The Branstad Administration plans to do more and do it faster than any other state. This approach ignores lessons other states have learned when adopting the managed care approach: Be methodical. Work with vulnerable Iowans and service providers. Take the time to make sure you do it right.
Iowa Medicaid is, after all, Iowa's second largest insurance company.
This week, the Iowa Senate unanimously approved SF 452 to protect vulnerable Iowans and the safety net we all count on.
SF 452 creates a process to closely monitor this transition, ensure that tax dollars are used wisely, and be sure that vulnerable Iowans have access to critical healthcare services. It outlines consumer protections to protect high-quality care that emphasizes consumer choice, self-direction, person and family centered care, nearby access to care, and fair appeals.
The Senate voted this week to provide some accountability to ensure that the most vulnerable Iowans have access to quality health care.
Loebsack Statement on FY 2016 Republican Budget
Loebsack Statement on the FY2016 Republican Budget
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Dave Loebsack released the following statement today after House Republicans passed their budget for Fiscal Year 2016.
"It has long been said that a budget is a set of priorities, a vision of where one believes the country should be headed. The Republican-supported budget that passed the House today fails to reflect the priorities of Iowans I meet every weekend when I travel around my district. This budget ends the Medicare guarantee as we know it, disinvests in education, cuts important funding for rebuilding our infrastructure and eliminates vital job training programs. At a time when our economy is still continuing to recover, this is the wrong approach to putting our nation on a sustainable path forward. We need to pass a budget that invests in our nation's future by growing our infrastructure, providing retirement security for seniors and making sure any child who wants to can afford to attend college. We need a budget that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-to-do."
Iowa Pipeline Walk Uncovers New Hero
"All we wanted was to have the house fixed." – Kenneth Larkin
Iowa Pipeline Walk: Day Nineteen
Posted on March 24, 2015
by Ed Fallon
Monday, March 23, 2015 – Cambridge, Iowa

For the latest Iowa Pipeline Walk route and schedule detail, click here
I've seen plenty of "Gas Pipeline" markers during the course of this walk. Today, I saw my first "Oil Pipeline" marker – on the front lawn of a well-kept farm near Cambridge, Iowa. I wondered about that as I knocked on the door. I was greeted by Kenneth Larkin, and after introducing myself said, "I notice you've already got a pipeline running across your property."
"No," said Kenneth. "I've got five! One carries propane. Two that used to transport LP gas now run fiber optic. The fourth one, the one marked 'Oil Pipeline,' doesn't really carry oil. It carries distillates – gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, kerosene – and they're all running through the same pipe with a slug of water in between."
I had no idea you could transport different fuels through the same pipeline at the same time, merely separated by water. Before Kenneth could tell me about the fifth pipeline, I had to ask:
"So, you're pretty accustomed to pipelines. I suppose it doesn't bother you to have one more running across your property?"
"No!," he said. "I don't like the pipe I've got. They're dangerous. We had an explosion once."
He went on to explain in great detail – and with evident mastery of the technical aspects – what caused the explosion to occur. I got out my computer and frantically tried to keep up with him. Failing miserably, I piece together the story as best I can:
The pipeline company takes electricity off the high line. They run it through a box with a wire that goes underground to where it's attached to the pipeline. That reverses the polarity of the ions in the soil, and the pipeline grabs hold of those ions and expands. But the polarity reversal also eats holes in the copper tubing to Kenneth's propane tank, and follows a line into the house where the propane meets up with the water heater. When the water heater kicks on . . . KABOOM!
"Someone could have been killed if they'd been near the water heater," mused Kenneth. "My wife, Judy, who has since passed away, had nick-knacks in the window and the explosion blew them clear out to the road ditch."
I'm still reeling from Kenneth's story when he says, "Nope. I don't want this oil pipeline. I think that wind and solar are two of the bases that we should pursue more of. Why do we need fossil fuels? This country has advanced so far, but we're still using more and more oil."
In just over 30 minutes, this guy has become my latest hero. He's against the pipeline for personal reasons AND gets the broader social and environmental concerns.
But I want closure on the explosion. "Did the company compensate you for damages?" I ask.
"Well, we just told them all we wanted was to have the house fixed," said Kenneth. "They drug their feet and they drug their feet and they drug their feet. Close to a year passed, and our lawyer said we might just as well sue them. The day before we were supposed to go to court, I never will forget. This big, black Cadillac sedan pulls in, and three guys in three-piece business suits out of Tulsa, Oklahoma get out. They pull out one of those big check books. I showed them the bills for fixing the house, and they just wrote us a check, and that was that."
A happy finish to a story that could have ended much worse. But I am still not satisfied.
"What about that fifth pipeline," I probe.
"Oh, that one belongs to the Koch Brothers," concluded Kenneth. "It's empty."
"Yeah, I know that," I said. "Do you have any idea why it's empty?"
Kenneth tells me about a conversation he had with a Magellan Pipeline Company worker. The guy told him that oil running through that pipeline was a product of fracking. It had salt in it. "That salt was supposedly rusting the seams on the inside of the pipes, and that's why they're not using them."
I asked Kenneth if he felt we could stop this new pipeline from being built. "You don't have enough money to stop them, and Branstad has already sold us down the water," said Kenneth. "But if the company is not allowed to use eminent domain, then they can be stopped."
"And as far as I'm concerned," said Kenneth, "they ain't coming on my property.

Iowa Pipeline Walk: Day Seventeen & Eighteen
Thursday, March 19, 2015 – Mingo, Iowa/Friday, March 20, 2015 – Maxwell, Iowa

For the latest Iowa Pipeline Walk route and schedule detail, click here.
Walkin' the Bakken is proving to be a bigger undertaking than I imagined. My deepest thanks to all of you along the route who have helped with logistics or who have walked with me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I also want to acknowledge three colleagues who are making a huge difference in the success of the Walk. Shari Hrdina, who served as the Administrative Director of the Great March for Climate Action, keeps all the pieces from falling through the cracks. And there are so many pieces! Shari is the glue behind the scenes, and we could not do this without her.
Peter Clay works with our local supporters along the route to organize meetings. Peter joined last year's Climate March for 700 miles, and is now instrumental as a volunteer with the Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition. He continues to keep us networked and supporting each others' efforts.
Landowners are asking lots of legal, procedural and technical questions that I can't answer. Managing this critical task is David Goodner of the Des Moines Catholic Worker. David is one of the most promising young organizers I know, and he's getting back in touch with the hundreds of landowners and rural Iowans I've met along the Walk.
Of course, with legal questions, it helps to have . . . a lawyer! Several experienced attorneys are working with landowners and other parties opposed to the pipeline. Wally Taylor with the Iowa Chapter of the Sierra Club and I recently discussed the contracts signed by landowners – many of whom are opposed to the pipeline. Here's what Wally shared:
"A number of attorneys agree that the easements landowners are signing or being asked to sign by Dakota Access have serious problems that adversely impact landowners. In fact, for landowners who have already signed easements, they could declare the leases null and void. Landowners should not sign anything until they have discussed the easements with an attorney. Review by an attorney would only require a short conference that would not be very expensive but would save the landowners a lot of heartache.
"We have also discovered that Dakota Access is now presenting an addendum to the easement to provide insurance coverage. The insurance allegedly covers liability of the company up to $5 million per year. This is per occurrence, not per landowner. There is also an additional umbrella coverage for another $5 million. One problem with this is that $10 million doesn't even begin to cover the cost of cleanup.
"Other pipeline spills have incurred costs of hundreds of millions of dollars, or even over a billion dollars. Another problem is that this is an insurance policy. Anyone who has dealt with insurance companies knows that the company will either deny coverage or try to limit the amount of the insurance payment. A landowner would have to take legal action to be properly compensated, involving great time and expense."
More and more Iowans are stepping forward to help defeat the pipeline. Perhaps you are already engaged as well. If not, and if you'd like a niche in this critical undertaking, let me know and we'll make it happen!
Water Summit March 21st
Water quality is one of the most important environmental issues facing Iowa today. But understanding the many different issues and aspects involved in it can be difficult.
Quad Citians have a rare opportunity to learn more and have their questions answered at the March 21st Water Summit: An Environmental Event Focusing on Iowa's Water Quality. Hosted by Davenport SCENE, the event will be held in the Davenport West High School Auditorium, 1 – 3 p.m., and is free to the public.
A panel of five experts from the agricultural community, local and state government, and private business has been selected to lead the discussion and answer questions. All five are intimately involved in issues dealing with water quality across the state of Iowa.
Attendees to the event will increase their understanding of water issues, and learn how Iowans can respond to improve and protect our water quality.
The panelists include:
Sean McMahon, Executive Director of the Iowa Agriculture Water Alliance (IAWA). The IAWA is a nonprofit organization committed to advancing the success of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy by increasing farmer awareness of the initiative and their adoption of science-based practices proven to have quantifiable environmental benefits.

Maybe you could make a mini billboard to top the cake???
Cute idea...I love this idea and the idea of having chips as the favor!!
Cute idea...I love this idea and the idea of having chips as the favor!!
I think the mini billboard idea would be adorable, and you could make it out of a sugar cookie, ice the top and paint the two characters on with food coloring if you are, or someone you know is, good at painting. Many places that do custom cakes also do other things, such as cookies, and I'm sure it wouldn't be that expensive to get them to customize it with those characters.
This is a brilliant idea! Then you can save the cookie for your first anniversary instead of or in addition to the top part of cake! If you use shortbread it will probably hold up pretty well in the freezer, too.

Technology Writing Prompt
Every day, we use technology. Light bulbs, for instance, run on electricity and electricity is technology. Everything that is man-made is technology! Can you believe that? Technology has become a very important part of our daily modern lives. You use it and you barely realize it.
Laptops, PCs, phones, smart phones, iPads, tablets, iPods, Bluetooths, GPSs, cars, other vehicles, toys, other appliances, etc. These things are all technology. Even the simplest thing is technology. Like just an inch of paper! Paper comes from trees, and trees are nature (which is not technology). How do the trees get turned into paper? Technology.
Can you imagine life without technology? You would be so bored. No video games or anything to do. Technology has made our lives very fun and enjoyable. Without technology, life would very, very miserable.
Leave a Comment to say what YOU use technology for, and what your life would be like without it.

My Neighbor Totoro (rated G): An Extremely Awesome Movie
A movie I would definitely recommend is My Neighbor Totoro by Studio Ghibli. I have dressed up as Totoro for Halloween, and introduced the movie to anyone who would watch it. In this animated film directed by Hiyao Miyazaki, two sisters adjusting to their move from the city meet a forest spirit called Totoro. He helps the girls and they become friends. The movie is super-cute, and the expansive forest backdrops are stunning. My Neighbor Totoro is definitely my all-time favorite movie and is great for everyone.

Book Wars: Harry Potter vs. Percy Jackson
Attention all fantasy readers! You'll want to get in on this week's book war, because I will be comparing two of the most popular fantasy series there are: Harry Potter vs. Percy Jackson & The Olympians.
People have been saying for years that the two series are similar in character and plot, but I'm about to take a deeper look to find out. So, are you a Potterhead or are you a Demigod? Can you be both?
To begin the comparison, let's start with the two main protagonists. Harry and Percy are both unlikely heroes with difficult backgrounds. Harry's parents were killed when he was just a baby, and he was forced to live with his horrible Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon and his vile cousin, Dudley. Percy was raised by his mother and his awful step-father, Gabe Ugliano. Both children were bullied because they were weak and scrawny and no one really cared about them.
Harry and Percy also share some similar traits. Harry and Percy both have a "saving people thing" because they always want to help someone in danger. They are also known to be witty and sarcastic, but incredibly loyal to their friends.
Finally, Harry and Percy are the "Chosen One" and the "Child of the Prophecy" meaning that they are the only people who can save the world because of a prophecy written about them.
Now let's compare some of the other characters.
The main female protagonists, Hermione Granger and Annabeth Chase, are both the most intelligent characters in each series. They always know the answer for everything and always have a plan, but Annabeth is more of a warrior than Hermione.
And let's not forget about the lovable best friends. Ron Weasley and Grover Underwood are the two main characters' best friends. They are similar in that they are both easily scared, funny, and have a love of food. The only difference would be the fact that Grover has goat legs . . .
And, of course, we have the villains. There are the main bad guys, Lord Voldemort and Kronos, and also the conflicted henchmen, Draco Malfoy and Luke Castellan.
Another similarity in the series would be the plot. Both books are about two children who become heroes and have to save the world. They both involve a prophecy, magic, and myth.
So what do you think? How similar are these two series? And are you a fan of HP or PJO? Leave your opinion in the Comments.
Izzy, Scholastic Kids Council
PS. Emma Rose weighs in on the debate in her video. Ari is also a PJO fan. He says, "The books are exciting. It is fun to see Greek Mythology come alive in the present day. Percy, the son of Poseidon, must learn to survive and protect both the mortal and the immortal worlds."
Whenever I go to someone's house for the first time, I always try to peek at the bookshelves to see if that person likes the same books as I do. Is that nosy of me? What? You don't do that? Anyway . . . I knew I wanted a peek at the Scholastic Kids Council's bookshelves so I asked them to send me their "shelfies."
Do you see any of your favorite books?
Leave a Comment to tell us which books we would see in YOUR shelfie.

2014 Nobel Peace Prize Winners
The Nobel Peace prize is a very important award given to particular people anywhere in the world who have worked to promote peace and understanding among nations. The prize is a HUGE honor and it is worth over $1 million! In the past, the prize has gone to famous presidents like Americans Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama, and South Africans F.W. de Klerk and Nelson Mandela. Organizations can win the award, too. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won for its work to help the environment. And Doctors Without Borders won for its work to take care of sick people around the world.
The 2014 award was announced this week. It is being given to two people and one is a 17-year-old girl! She is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize recipient ever. Talk about Kid Power! Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi are the winners this year for "their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education."
Satyarthi is an Indian children's rights activist. He campaigns to help poor children who are forced to work as slaves in factories, to get them out of the factories and into school. Believe it or not, there are children who have to leave their parents to go work all day long in faraway factories. They never even have the chance to learn how to read much less borrow a book from a beautiful library. According to the Bachpan Bachao Andolan website ("Save the Childhood Movement" in English), Satyarthi has set up schools and rescued thousands of children out of this slavery.
Malala has also campaigned to help all children go to school. You may have heard of her since she was in the news a lot a couple of years ago. She was writing a blog about living under the Taliban in Pakistan, especially how they didn't want girls to go to school. Malala went to school anyway and continued speaking out against the Taliban. The Taliban actually tried to kill her, but she survived and continues to speak out for girls' right to go to school and get an education. How brave!
So you see it doesn't matter how young you are. YOU can change the world! Leave a Comment and let us know how you're inspired to make a difference!

"You cannot do a kindness too soon, because you do not know when it will be too late." (Ralph Waldo Emerson, the famous American author)
"One person can make a difference. And everyone should try." (President John F. Kennedy)
Heavy stuff, huh?

Classic is the New Black: a magazine that discusses classic actors, movies, books, musicians, and TV shows from a kid's point of view.
You may see Beatles as a bug but I see them as a band. At the age of 3, my father exposed me to a whole new world of classics. This is how I came to love the Beatles. I don't know why I like the Beatles, but there was just a spark. Maybe it was their catchy lyrics or great melodies. It was something about the realness of the group. Continue reading
Hello Kitty Crochet: Supercute Amigurumi Patterns for Sanrio Friends
Nothing will prepare you for the cuteness of this blog post, so if you think it might hurt you, please look away. If, on the other hand, you love Hello Kitty, and you love to make adorable crafts, then keep reading!
Hello Kitty Crochet, by Mei Li Lee, is a new book that teaches you how to crochet Hello Kitty, her friends, her family, and lots of other characters. There are instructions for making over 20 cute and cuddly crocheted characters. And each one is seriously adorable!
Question for the Author: Out of the 25 characters featured in Hello Kitty Crochet, do you have a favorite?
Mei Li Lee: If I could choose two, I would say Hangyodon and Badtz Maru. Hangyodon because I've always been fascinated with the character as a child. It always reminded me of a cuter version of the Creature from the Black Lagoon. As for Badtz Maru, I was really happy with the way he turned out! Some of the Sanrio amigurumi took me a few tries but with Badtz, I had the pattern locked down right away. He was such a joy to make.
What do you think? Are you crying from the cuteness? Leave a Comment!

Samsung Sells 5 Million Galaxy S II Handset in First 85 Days
Samsung's Galaxy S II may not be in the United States just yet but that doesn't mean the phone isn't a runaway hit. According to new figures the Android-powered smart phone has sold 5 million units in the first 85 days, considerably better than its predecessor. What's more, the handset is actually picking up steam and sales are accelerating.
The Galaxy S II took only 55 days to hit the 3 million mark so this guy is well on its way to eclipsing all other Samsung releases. While it took the original Galaxy S phone seven months to cross 10 million mark, the Galaxy S II looks to come in well under six months at this rate.
Things could get really interesting in a few weeks when U.S. consumers finally get their hands on the various flavors of the handset.

SunEdison to buy Massachusetts solar projects
- Diana Barr
- Associate Editor- St. Louis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
SunEdison has agreed to buy Massachusetts solar projects with 50 megawatts of capacity from BlueWave Capital LLC for an undisclosed sum.
SunEdison said it's the largest acquisition of solar assets in Massachusetts' history and that the energy cost savings associated with the projects are estimated to total almost $85 million over the next 20 years.
Included in the deal are a dozen projects that St. Peters-based SunEdison jointly developed with Boston-based BlueWave, the solar company said Thursday. Many of the joint projects are expected to be operational by the end of this month, according to SunEdison.
Once the solar energy systems are operational, SunEdison and its financing partners will be the owner-operator of the projects.
Earlier this week, SunEdison agreed to acquire a 50 percent ownership stake in Silver Ridge Power LLC (SRP), a subsidiary of the AES Corp., in a deal valued at $165 million.
SunEdison (NYSE: SUNE), led by CEO Ahmad Chatila, posted a first-quarter net loss of $616 million, much wider than the $101.4 million loss it posted in last year's quarter due in part to lower selling prices and a charge on its convertible notes.

LA Machine Learning Message Board › Carpooling to meetups
Dave K. |
Wherever we manage to hold our meetings, there will be a painful commute for someone. The last couple of meetings Rob and I have managed to coordinate rides, and we should try to do this on a wider scale. Might be difficult given work schedule constraints and locations, but let's give it a shot, especially if it means good attendance!
If people are willing to share their locations (work and home) -- and perhaps we need time constraints, too? -- Rob has volunteered to write an algorithm to do ride matching. Could be a fun informal group project. :-D |

The latest theater production directed by Bartlett Sher '81 is once again making critics sit up and take notice.
After wowing theatergoers and reviewers with, among others, "The Light in the Piazza," "Awake and Sing!," and Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific," which earned him a Tony award for best director of a musical, Sher is drawing rapturous reviews for his production of Clifford Odets's "Golden Boy."
John Lahr, senior drama critic of the New Yorker, calls it "impeccable" and named it the best theater production of 2012. " 'Golden Boy' deserves, and will win, a bag full of Tony Awards," he writes.
The production, which tells the story of a young man who must choose between a career as a violinist or boxer, is playing at the Lincoln Center Theater at the Belasco through Jan. 20.
Check out some more reviews of the production, and what critics have to say about Sher.
"Mr. Sher directed a similarly galvanizing production of "Awake and Sing!" for Lincoln Center Theater several years ago. The skills he evinced in that rewarding revival are on view here, too: a knack for making Odets's vernacular language feel like fresh mint instead of stale corn, and a gift for cutting to the emotional quick of a conventionally structured melodrama." — Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
"Four out of four stars. Bartlett Sher directs a stellar cast in this dazzling production. … Director Barlett Sher, who has helmed superb productions of American classics ranging from "South Pacific" to "Joe Turner's Come And Gone," has once again compiled a first-rate cast and captured the excitement and emotional resonance that make such works timeless." — Elysa Gardner, USA Today
"Five out of five stars. Sher's crackling revival restores its place in the canon of great works we should see more often. … How does Sher do it? He hires the best around and listens to the language — and he couldn't have picked a finer group of character actors and rising stars. — David Cote, Time Out New York
"Except for a 1964 musical version that starred Sammy Davis Jr., "Golden Boy" hasn't been seen on Broadway since 1952. Now Lincoln Center Theater has brought it back to the Belasco Theater, where the play was first performed 75 years ago, and given it a production of the utmost splendor and compulsion. Watching it is like standing in front of a blowtorch." — Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
"Under less astute direction, the dialogue and action might have seemed dated and melodramatic, but Bartlett Sher's nuanced direction leaves no corner of the stage in shadow. He gives the play the same inspired guts as his previous staging of Odets's "Awake and Sing!" for Lincoln Center Theater a few years ago. " — Rex Reed, The Observer

Spineless U.S. Congress Kills Latest Hopes to Close Gitmo
Back in February, I visited the Guantanamo Bay prison camp during President Obama's inauguration. At the time, it sure seemed like I was witnessing the last days of a ugly chapter in American history.
Obama's first act as president was an order to close the place. The head of the detention center told me that, logistically speaking, he could have all the prisoners out of Cuba in just a few days.
Easy enough, right? Of course there was the small matter of deciding where to put the more than 200 alleged terrorists held inside the camp. And the U.S. Congress, displaying a jellyfish-esque lack of spinal column, has now punted more often than the St. Louis Rams.
Everyone wants to close Gitmo, but no one has the balls to watch a few hundred terrorists shipped into their district. Florida's always-rational delegation usefully proposed sending the bad guys to tourist trap Alcatraz, presumably to give Michael Bay fodder for his next travesty.
Now this morning comes news that Congress may have put the last nail in the coffin for Obama's fading hopes to close Gitmo by next year.
Obama's last, best hope for shuttering Gitmo was to buy a barely used max security prison in Illinois and retro-fit it for the terrorist crowd.
But the Thompson Correctional Center would have cost about $200 million, and the Bureau of Prisons doesn't have that kind of cash lying around. So Obama asked the House Appropriations Committee to squeeze the money into the new defense spending bill, The New York Times reports today.
Democratic leaders, the Times reports, said "thanks, but no thanks, Barry." Obama's administration now tells the Times they don't expect to find the cash until late 2010.
So who's to blame? Democratic leaders, for extreme lack of backbone. Republicans, for promising to play politics with anyone who dares to vote for a move to get prisoners onto U.S. soil. And Obama, for failing to find the political capital to get this done.
In the meantime, the good times will keep rolling at Gitmo, well into 2011.

It's All Politics
In New Immigration Plan, A Fraught Phrase Is Mostly Sidelined
Originally published on Mon January 28, 2013 5:27 pm
Here's one thing that was hard to find in the "Gang of Eight's" Senate proposal to overhaul the country's immigration system: the term "illegal immigrant."
The bipartisan framework employs a few different terms in reference to people who are in the country without legal status: "illegal entrants," "undocumented immigrants" and "unauthorized immigrants." While the framework refers repeatedly to "illegal immigration," the term "illegal immigrant" is used just once, as are the other terms.
So why does it matter which terminology the senators used in their draft framework? Some of the Republican Party's rising stars, like Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (one of the eight senators who unveiled the proposal) and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, publicly criticized the GOP's stance and rhetoric on immigration after its anemic performance among Latinos during November's elections.
Avoiding "illegal immigrant" could be an attempt to move away from politically loaded language in the party's efforts to reach out to Latino voters.
And "illegal immigrant" has become very loaded. The term stretches back to the 1930s, but according to Slate's Mike Vuolo, the term started to become closely associated with Latino immigrants in the 1960s.
Many immigration advocates say the term "illegal immigrant" criminalizes and dehumanizes people who live in the United States without documentation. Jose Antonio Vargas, a former reporter for The Washington Post who does not have citizenship status, has been pressing news outlets to stop using the term. "When journalists, who are supposed to seek neutrality and fairness, use the term, they are politicizing an already political issue," Vargas wrote in Time last fall.
To make their point, Vargas and others point to Frank Luntz, a Republican strategist who wrote a 2005 memo calling on members of his party and conservatives to use "illegal immigrant" as their term of choice.
In this view, the term has become a kind of symbol whose use tells you about the political leanings of the person using it — like "pro-life" or "pro-choice" in the debate over abortion.
But others, like Julia Preston, who covers immigration issues for The New York Times, consider the term neutral and accurate. Preston has used it in many of her stories. "It is a violation of law for a foreign-born person to be present without legal status," she told the paper's public editor last year.

Sarah Palin
For someone who this summer was labeled a "quitter" when she stepped down as Alaska's governor, Palin, 45, enjoyed an astonishing rebound. Just look at the numbers: 1 million copies of her memoir Going Rogue sold in its first two weeks. She wore down more than 400 Sharpie pens autographing 58,000 books for those who flocked to see her during a 33-city book tour (complete with customized bus including a couch for catching a quiet moment with 20-month-old son Trig). "Exhilarating!" is how she described it all to her 1 million-plus Facebook friends.

About this location
The Cotswolds region
The Cotswolds has long since been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its unspoilt landscape and quintessentially English towns and villages. Little gems can be found around each corner with something for everybody. Walks and cycle routes abound for those who want to get away from the crowds, whilst those who like the shops and a bit of history will enjoy the many picturesque towns and villages. There is no shortage of things to do as the Cotswolds plays host to many events around the year, Cheltenham Gold Cup, The Royal International Air Tattoo, Badminton Horse Trials, Gatcombe Horse Trials and Cheltenham Literary Festival to name but a few. Our tourist attractions include Westonbirt Arboretum, Sudeley Castle and Slimbridge Wetlands Trust, seasonally there are many festivals in and around Cheltenham, a number of music festivals and a plethora of fabulous Farmers Markets. Our local produce is excellent and there is no shortage of people to tell you about it and share the delights. For those who have a little more time to spare, a day trip to Bath or Oxford is definitely in order.
The area of the Cotswolds around Fairford will not disappoint with the roman town of Cirencester only 10 miles away and the spa town of Cheltenham half an hour away. Cirencester boasts an excellent array of shops for both food and browsing, an open air swimming pool, a roman museum and beautiful architecture abounds. Lechlade upon Thames, our neighbouring town offers shops akin to treasure troves and boating on the river, and once you have crossed the border into Oxfordshire a day out in Oxford is a must.
If outdoor pursuits are more your thing then we are surrounded by the Cotswold Water Park offering 150 lakes to discover. Activities range from angling, snorkelling, wakeboarding, water skiing, cycling or plain old swimming from the inland beach! The water parks are also bursting with wildlife and birdlife and offer visitors plenty of opportunities to explore.
Walking around Fairford and the surrounding villages is a very relaxing way to spend time, with limited hills and gorgeous scenery - those involving our many delicious pubs are definitely worth a try.
Finally, at the end of the day there is nothing nicer than sitting down to a delicious meal either cooked by yourselves with some of the delicious local produce or venturing out to one of the many lovely restaurants and pubs that litter the area - happy holidays!

OTTAWA - A recent courtroom winning streak for Canada's aboriginal communities came to a sudden stop Friday as the Supreme Court upheld the Ontario government's power to permit industrial logging on a First Nation's traditional lands.
The Ontario government does not need Ottawa's permission to allow forestry and mining activity under an 1873 treaty that ceded large swaths of Ontario and Manitoba to the federal government, the high court said in a unanimous 7-0 ruling.
"I agree with the Ontario Court of Appeal that Ontario, and only Ontario, has the power to take up lands under Treaty 3," Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin wrote in the decision.
The ruling, a blow to northern Ontario's Grassy Narrows First Nation, follows a historic Supreme Court judgment in British Columbia that changed the way governments must deal with First Nations over land where aboriginal title is claimed.
Grassy Narrows is different from the Tsilhqot'in decision because it involves treaty land, not aboriginal title. But experts say the two decisions, taken together, help clarify what's necessary for natural resource projects to proceed on aboriginal land.
"If you don't have the support of the aboriginal group, then the Crown is going to have a slightly different standard to meet in each case, depending on where the project is," said lawyer Keith Bergner of Vancouver firm Lawson Lundell LLP.
"If it's on aboriginal title land, it's going to be a very high standard. If it's on land where title has been asserted but not yet proven, it's going to be a consultation and accommodation standard.
"If it's on land that has been surrendered pursuant to a historic treaty, there's again a consultation and accommodation requirement, albeit arguably on a lower standard."
Dominique Nouvet, who specializes in aboriginal law at the Victoria firm Woodward & Company, said in both the Grassy Narrows and Tsilhqot'in decisions, the Supreme Court rejected arguments that would have subjected provincial government decision-making to federal supervision.
But she called it shocking that the federal government that signed the numbered treaties with aboriginals is not considered responsible for honouring those promises.
"That's the message this decision sends: if the provinces own the land, it's their job to manage the treaty rights," Nouvet said.
"And the provinces are not currently doing that, especially Alberta."
Indeed, provinces have been trampling aboriginal treaty rights, she said.
"The provinces have been seriously encroaching on treaty harvesting rights of many First Nations, to the point of extinguishment or near-extinguishment. There are many traditional aboriginal cultures, especially in Alberta, that are on the brink of survival."
Grassy Narrows appealed after Ontario's highest court ruled in March 2013 that the province has the right to take up treaty land for forestry and mining.
Only Ottawa has the power to take up the land, argued the First Nation, because treaty promises were made with the federal Crown.
The Supreme Court rejected that argument.
Grassy Narrows Chief Roger Fobister said the fight to protect the First Nation's people and land will continue.
"While we hoped the Supreme Court of Canada would respect our treaty, we are determined to see Treaty 3 respected," he said in a statement.
"We expect the government of Ontario and Canada to learn from the last ten years and come to the table ready to deal with the real needs of our people which requires ensuring a sustainable future both environmentally and economically."
Bill Mauro, Ontario's minister of natural resources and forestry, said the decision provides a welcome and long-overdue degree of clarity.
"We are hopeful that this decision will provide an opportunity for all parties to focus on the best approaches moving forward," Mauro said in a statement.
"Ontario respects aboriginal and treaty rights and remains committed to developing positive relationships with First Nations, including Grassy Narrows and others in the Treaty 3 area."
Grassy Narrows is a tiny community from northwestern Ontario that has spent more than a decade in court fighting the province's decision to issue a licence for clearcut operations in parts of the Keewatin portion of Treaty 3 territory.
The First Nation says scientific studies indicate that clearcut logging in boreal watersheds raises mercury levels in fish above the Health Canada limit for safe human consumption.
It says recent clearcut logging in Grassy Narrows territory has exacerbated the impact of mercury poisoning that began when a paper mill upstream in Dryden, Ont., dumped mercury between 1962 and 1970.
