PSB says no to North Springfield biomassBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | February 12,2014
Vyto Starinskas / Staff File Photo Dana Smith, designer of the proposed Springfield biomass plant, shows a blueprint during a site visit in February 2012.SPRINGFIELD The Public Service Board said no Tuesday to a proposed $180 million wood-fired power plant in North Springfield, saying it would be too inefficient and emit too many greenhouse gases.
The PSB, however, said it didnt mean that biomass plants were bad for Vermont.
Todays ruling ... should not be interpreted to mean that no wood-fired biomass facility could ever be approved under Section 248, the three members of the board said. Our concerns over the annual greenhouse gas emissions from the project are deepened by the expected low level of thermal efficiency.
In denying the project a certificate of public good, the board stated: We conclude that the projects burdens would outweigh its benefits.
The plant would have burned 450,000 tons of green wood chips annually, and emitted almost the same amount of greenhouse gases, or 448,714 tons of carbon dioxide a year.
In a best-case scenario, the project would have only been 28 percent thermally efficient.
The developers of the North Springfield Sustainable Energy Project are Winstanley Corp. of Concord, Mass., and Weston Solutions of West Chester, Pa.
Adam Winstanley said Tuesday night he wouldnt appeal.
Were obviously incredibly disappointed, he said. I poured my heart and soul into it and invested five years and many millions of dollars, several million into this project. Its a big disappointment.
In the 156-page decision released Tuesday, the PSB upheld an earlier decision by one of its hearing officers, who had said the project would interfere with the orderly development in the region because of heavy truck traffic delivering wood chips to the North Springfield Industrial Park.
But the board went further and said the project would not promote the general good of the state of Vermont because of its low level of thermal efficiency and the plants expected annual greenhouse gas emissions.
The PSB also said the projects electricity was not needed, and that similar amounts of power could be provided in a more cost-effective manner through energy-conservation programs and measures and energy-efficiency and load-management measures.
Winstanley said he had thought the project was well conceived.
We believe this is a good project for Vermont, but clearly the regulators have spoken and dont believe its a good fit, he said. I think this project would have great benefits for the area.
He said he had decided against an appeal after consulting with his attorneys Tuesday.
Im not going to appeal it, Winstanley said. Weve had two strong, negative rulings. They really didnt leave any doors open to do a project here. This is pretty final.
The 37-megawatt project would have been built on a flat field in the North Springfield Industrial Park, next to 300 Precision Drive, an industrial facility owned by Winstanley. It is the former headquarters of Fellows Corp. and now home to several businesses.
Winstanley said he had recently spoken to a company that would have purchased all the power from the plant and built a new facility next to 300 Precision Drive, and created about many jobs in the process.
He said the new company would have been a very large data center.
Winstanley said he had disclosed that information to some state officials, but it couldnt be part of the record in the PSB proceedings.
It would have large, a high-tech user creating 140 new jobs. It would have been very unique in nature, he said. But its such a negative ruling, I dont think theres much hope I can keep this project moving.
He said he had considered scaling the project down in size to about 20 megawatts, but given the low cost of natural gas, said that didnt seem feasible.
Winstanley Enterprises is currently developing a 2.2-megawatt solar project in Brattleboro next to the Holiday Inn. The 8,300-panel project is on 15 acres and one of the largest in Vermont, he said.
The biomass decision was hailed by both state and local organizations that had raised a myriad of questions about the project.
Bob Kischko, chairman of the North Springfield Action Group, said he was thrilled with the decision, and surprised.
Im in utter shock, he said, laughing.
Kischko said his group would meet later Tuesday to discuss the decision, and would have a more detailed response later. He expressed concern that the project would be appealed to the Vermont Supreme Court.
Jamey Fidel, the attorney for the Vermont Natural Resources Council and the National Wildlife Federation, said the decision was a well-reasoned one, based on the evidence presented during the case.
I think they made the right decision, he said. Its precedent setting.
Fidel said that the PSB took pains to say not all biomass operations were bad, but that a plant as inefficient as the proposed one would not be approved.
There are other uses for our limited wood resources, he said, adding that greenhouse gas emissions suffered with such an inefficient project.
Springfield Town Manager Robert Forguites said the decision should please many people in town, and disappoint an equal number.
This is a two-edged sword, he said. Certainly the people who are opposed to it had very valid arguments and some of the final decision seemed based on those arguments.
Forguites added, On the other hand, if we had that plant and there was no problem with it, there would have been a big increase in the towns grand list, which we would gladly use.
Forguites said the project would have added $80 million to the towns grand list, a 12 percent increase.
Unfortunately, you dont know if the bad things are as bad as people think they are, said Forguites.
The town had remained officially neutral on the project, but had entered into an understanding last summer with the project developers over building a new access road to the industrial park.
The towns biggest booster of the project, Bob Flint, executive director of the Springfield Regional Development Corp., said he wanted to talk to Winstanley before commenting.
Christopher Recchia, commissioner of the Department of Public Service, which had raised questions about the project but ultimately supported it, said the department was studying the decision.
Recchia said the issue of orderly development and traffic had seen additional information, but had not satisfied the boards concern.
I think there are concepts that need to be fleshed out further, some of the assumptions about how biomass is used, he said. It needs further discussion.
Recchia, who is in Washington, D.C., for a conference of the National Association of Public Utility Commissioners, along with PSB Chairman James Volz, and he said Volz didnt give him a hint of the decision.
He didnt tell me. Were very good about not asking, he said.
Volz signed the decision, along with board members John Burke and Margaret Cheney, who was recently appointed to the board by Gov. Peter Shumlin.

In order to reduce the overall cost of buying bottled water and to reduce the waste, many water drinkers have turned to an alternative option — reverse osmosis, a filtration system that can be installed in one's home.
These compact units are made up of pre-filters, a reverse osmosis module, a post-filter and a pressurized holding tank. They are small enough to be installed under the sink or even on the countertop. The pre-filters trap impurities, sediment and other contaminants, some of which result from pollution and others from treatment of the water. The water then passes through the reverse osmosis module, which contains the reverse osmosis membrane, treating the water a second time to remove even more impurities. The water receives a final treatment as it goes through a post-filter and any remaining waste goes down another line into the drain. A good reverse osmosis system can remove 99.9 percent of the impurities found in water.
The water receives a final treatment as it goes through a post-filter and any remaining waste goes down another line into the drain. A good reverse osmosis system can remove 99.9 percent of the impurities found in water.
[PHOTO dir="assets/news/nimbuswaterpurifier.jpg" align="right" caption="Under-counter systems are easily installed." width="250"]
The first benefit most users of a reverse osmosis system recognize is cleaner, more sparkling water without any chemical taste or odors. In fact, a reverse osmosis system can treat for such impurities and contaminants as aluminum, asbestos, chlorides, chlorine, fluoride, lead, mercury, silver, nitrates and sulfide. The Environmental Protection Agency has established standards for the presence of many of these contaminants in water, indicating safe levels for each contaminant.
Cost for a reverse osmosis system ranges from $150 to more than $400. Maintenance includes changing the filters every six months to a year. The reverse osmosis membrane will ordinarily last between three to five years.
Fill up a reusable bottle, and water is suddenly portable and pure again without additional cost. From enjoying better tasting ice cubes, tea, coffee, soups, and all your favorite beverages and foods, there are many benefits to installing a reverse osmosis system in your home, including a few more dollars in your pocket and doing the environment a big favor as well.

With memories of having paid all-time high prices for gasoline earlier this year, U.S. consumers are about to get a break for the holiday season: $3-a-gallon gas in much of the country.
With U.S. supplies rising and demand fizzling, wholesale prices are sinking fast and will soon be reflected at the pump. Now averaging $3.35 a gallon nationwide, prices are expected to drop to about $3.20 a gallon within the next two to three weeks. Consumers in many states could find prices at $3 a gallon or even less in many states, says Tom Kloza of the Oil Price Information Service.

If simplicity is what you're after, the Card Envelope was made just for you. Designed just like an envelope, it's an easy way to keep your business or credit cards securely tucked away. Business cards make a strong impression about you and your organization, and our Card Envelope will ensure the impression's a good one. Made with top quality leather, it features an interior nylon lining and turned edge construction with hand folded corners. Inside is room for tons of business or credit cards, and the front snap button keeps them securely in place. It's so important to stay organized, both in our professional and personal lives, and this Card Envelope is just one way we help you do that.
Our Classico leather collection is a semi-aniline, drum dyed pebbled leather. It offers a little extra color and character, making it a good choice when you want your accessories to stand out. This full grain leather has a soft hand feel with intricate lines, giving it a distinct look from our smoother leathers like Vero and Zita. It comes in a wide variety of colors that you won't find in our other collections and has a polished finish to make them really shine. Its unique appearance and range of colors make it ideal for matching with purses, belts, or other leather items you own.
Over the past year, I purchased several items from Leatherology and have been very happy with everyone of them including this card envelope. The craftsmanship is superb, the leather is of great quality not to mention the beautiful variety of colours available. I will order more of these envelopes, in different colours, to store gift cards, coupons, etc. I highly recommend Leatherology.
Love the color! Love the qualty! Love the packaging! I purchased the matching padfolio to compliment my business accessories and I am extremely pleased. My hubby now wants a few things from Leatherology. Folks you will not be disappointed if well-made products is what you are looking for!
Excellent quality, classic style and color! I have purchased quite a few items from this company, all in black and brown....I'm a Leatherology groupie! haha Thank You, Joan
the color is perfect, the leather is very soft & I'm using it for my credit cards because I like to carry them in my pocket - they fit perfectly & it doesn't take up much space
Beautiful, quality and light weight
Great product. Shipment delayed due to weather but not Leatherology problem.
It is perfect for cards or change.
Great for credit cards or business cards absolutely love this product.
Great quality right down to the packaging
I sent this to a friend in college and she is very happy with it. Professional service, all as promised and advertised. Would use this vendor again in the future.
I looked all over for a small leather holder for my medical cards so I could be well organized in the coming year. This purchase not only filled the bill perfectly but was fashionable as well. I loved the packaging it arrived in, very nicely done. Will definitely buy from Leatherology again.
I was thrilled with the quality of the business card cases. I had ordered 8 in assorted colors as gifts for my employees. The quality of the leather, vibrancy of the colors, and the elegant packaging impressed me. I had some reservations since I never had ordered from this site,but you can be assured I will order from you again! Thank you for making my Christmas shopping pleasurable.
I have this in two cord purple & turquoise. Gift cards in one and rewards cards in the other - each hold over 15 cards.
I have this in two colors. One for gift cards and one for rewards cards. They hold more than 15 cards - perfect!
This is perfect for credit cards and those Macy's coupons that are slightly larger and don't fit in other cases I have tried. It holds quite a few cards without being stuffed. You can also use it for money, license, etc. It fits nicely in the front pocket of your jeans. I hade mine monogrammed, and it looks great.
I love this! It is professional business card holder that grabs attention everytime. The leather is so soft; color is exactly displayed; and the gold monogram makes it very personal.
This one is for me. And I liked all the different colors that are available. It is just the right size for the amount of cards that I have. I love it!!! Thank you!! I would order from you again in he future!
I ordered a business card holder. It was easy to order on line, shipping wasn't outrageous because I live in Alaska, AND the item arrived fairly quickly! It was in a beautiful, but simple box with a ribbon around it. Yes I would recommend your website and would order here again!
I am very happy I purchased this product! I love everything monogrammed, and the Apple Red is so classy and timeless! I love being able to take this out of my handbag when I give clients my business cards.
I was very impressed with the product - high quality, and the way it was shipped. Very nice presentation with the pretty box and all. Thank you, and I will be ordering from Leatherology in the future, and telling my friends too.
It came in a nice box with bow and nicely packaged. The case I ordered is spacious enough to hold my business cards and looks professional yet still fun. Great place to order gifts. Thank you !
Just received this in the mail. Loved the packaging it came in and looked better even in-person. I will come here again for gifts. Thank you!
better than pictured. would not hesitate to order other items.
Beautiful product, easy ordering, and fast delivery. Needed a special gift for a co-worker and this will be perfect. Will come back to this site again for quality leather products
This is the second business card holder that I have purchased from Leatherology. They were both college graduation gifts and both recipients loved them. I received them within just a couple of days from ordering, with monogramming! The packaging was very nice and made the gift even that more classy.
I would definitely recommend this product and this company.
I ordered this to hold some larger business cards I had purchased. Great quality! Extremely pleased ! Will delifintely recommend this to others.
This card case is soft and supple and fully lined. Beautiful!
My daughter liked that she could put at least 25 cards in this card holder.
This card hold was better than I expected. Great soft leather, love the color and it holds plenty of cards!! Much better than those hard case holders! I even had it with the embossed initials and it looks great. I did the blink embossing, I think that is what they called it. Not the gold or silver foil. I would recommend this product and I would purchase it again for myself or as a gift
For business cards or credit cards it functions perfectly. Beautifully made and snaps closed securely. Cards are easily put into and taken out of the case. So many cases are cut too small and cards are difficult to insert or extract.This is not one of those. It presents very well-gives a professional look to your calling cards. Another winner from Leatherology.
Beautiful workmanship, monogram and packaging and, as it turned out, in the recipient's favorite color (which is rich and beautiful). Always hapy with a Leatherology purchase!
Item is as described. Very nice quality.
Classy box and ribbon. I was looking for pink but settled for red. Am sure she will like it.
EXCELLENT service, good prices & would highly recommend. A+++
Love the high quality leather & showing off my new pieces!!!!!
Beautifully made, holds a tremendous amount of cards. High quality leather.
Nice business card holder. Simple classy and effective.
Purchased for a gift and was pleased with the product and the very nice packaging
Having not ordered before I was uncertain whether I would be pleased with the item for a gentleman- color, style, quality, etc. I love it! I had it monogrammed (not the embossed) and it's great. No one should be disappointed.
Great construction, supple leather, even color, great embossing... I will purchase from you again! Jim
I love my business card wallet. It's unique and stylish. Great quality leather. I have purchased many items from Leatherology and I have NEVER been disappointed.
Beautifully crafted. Fine quality leather with a nicely finished interior. I only wish it held a few more cards but at this price it's a bargain. The monogramming is excellent as well.
Very quality product! I love it. It arrived very quickly. It is such great quality leather. The embossing was beautiful as well. Thank you!
Beautiful and well made. Definitely worthy of using for the new business cards I got for my promotion!
high quality. great gift.
Great product! The leather is soft, the monogram is easy to read, and it arrived at my door as scheduled.
This was more beautiful in person, and came in an elegant gift box. It took less than a week from ordering to delivery. I am extremely pleased with this product and service.
This little item has saved my wallet! It holds quite a few credit cards in it. It's great!
I was super pleased when this card holder arrived. I ordered it for my daughter for Christmas. She is going to love it...especially with her initials on it. Love it.
I ordered this product to make a noticeable statement for my business and that it has! It's very classy and stylish, yet classic too. I opted for the engraving and indentions are to precision. This product appears to be much more expensive that it was and I like that. I have already recommended it to others.

Excellent quality and service. Got matching luggage tags as well and am very happy.
I love my card wallet - I actually bought it for my few credit cards and drivers license. It is beautiful and convenient to carry
Great quality leather case, large enough to hold a good size stack of business cards or credit cards. Recommended.
This was a great buy! The leather quality is great as well as the stitching. The little metal snap button holds all my business cards in place. I work for a Lexus dealership and I have been asked where I purchased my business card wallet already. A must have for your business cards and at a low price.
I wanted something other than a typical card case for my cards. This is a neat little holder that keeps my cards secure in the right place.
This is the most unique style for a business card wallet! The color is great too. My friends like it and it stands apart!

Trees grow. So do tumors, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with likening my writing to a cancerous mass of cells. Others might be, however…
I've been querying my third novel, LUMINOUS, for the last several months and in the rejections I've received, I've noticed something different from the last two books I queried: feedback.
Whereas before I'd send a query letter via an email pigeon, only to have it turn right around with a, "Thanks, but no thanks," wrapped around its ankle (and those certainly still hit my inbox), today I'm seeing more personal notes. Phrases like "smart sentences," "strong project," and "very interesting," are making their way into my rejections, proving something is different about this book compared to the first two I wrote.
It's not hard to see what changed—I did. I got better. My writing muscles strengthened. I have a storytelling six-pack where used to reside a keg of naive optimism. And that came about from a simple trick I learned while reading a bottomless pit of articles on writing:
That's it. That was the big trick. Every morning on my train into New York, I read, and every morning for two hours in a Barnes & Noble cafe before work, I wrote. What struck me as I read was how my brain processed the prose. I used to read only for pleasure. I'd wander into the woods of a plot and set up camp for a few days to breathe in the fresh air. I still love living in books, but now as I wander among the trees, I stop and admire the flowers growing between them - the turns of phrase, the metaphors, the carefully structured sentences. I read to learn as much as I read to escape. My forest is more lush than I once thought.
My observations have paid off, too. When I go back to read my first book side-by-side with my latest, I can see the cringe-inducing difference. I might as well have been hopped up on Benadryl and mushrooms while I queried that first novel because that never should have left the desk drawer. I was hopeful and stupid. I was going to be the one to break the rule of first novels. Mine was not only going to be published, but it was going to define a new era of literature and—
You can stop laughing now.
LUMINOUS, however, is what happens when a writer finds his voice. It's what is born of voracious reading and near-paralyzing fear of failure. LUMINOUS is the book I always wanted to write. It's proof of growth. The story is tighter. The language is cleaner. I imagine it as the final project of a class taught by Donna Tartt, Gillian Flynn, and Anthony Breznican - a class I still worry I failed, but one in which I got a few points more than I did the last time I took it.
Reading is everything. It's almost more important than the actual writing. I absorb the books I read and in turn churn my stories in my mind to thicken them up. To make them richer. And I don't just read the literary powerhouses to enrich my writing. I read genre novels to observe pacing and romance and action. I read bad books to know what not to do. I read award winners, award losers, and books that wouldn't be allowed within 50 feet of an awards stage.
Read everything. Read fiction. Read nonfiction. Read short stories and novellas (where some of the best world building and pacing happens because there are limitations for the writer to overcome). Pull it all apart and sew it back together again and use that to nurture your craft.
Growth is necessary for a writer. It's natural. A writer who doesn't grow is a writer no one wants to read, for if a writer doesn't grow, the stories he or she tells don't grow, either. And who wants to read a malnourished, neglected story? I know I don't.

Nobody is good enough to tell the stories and ideas inside them. I mean that sincerely. The ideas in my head are shining beams of light, perfect and uninterrupted. And when they finally exist on paper, they end up fractured and imperfect — beams of light through grungy windows and shattered prisms, shot through with motes of dust, filtered up, watered down.
But sometimes that's enough. Sometimes, a beam of light is still a beam of light no matter how diffuse it is, no matter how dirty the light, no matter how filthy the floor is that it illuminates. And when it's not enough, you keep on trying until it is.
My books never come out the way I envision them and that's okay. It doesn't mean the doubt ever goes away, but I'm glad my feelings are also experienced by successful writers. I don't feel alone in my failure. It makes me want to keep going, to get better.
Lincoln Michel for Electric Literature:
An appreciation of readers as diverse individuals with different tastes should be a basic tenet of criticism. Instead, it's common for critics to imagine that their aesthetic preferences are the reflections of "readers" or a special class of readers—"serious readers," "imaginative readers," "brave readers," or some other ill-defined category—whose views truly matter.
I don't judge anyone for the books they read and love. Any critic can hoist his elbow patches upon a desk and tell a reader he or she is wasting his time enjoying "un-literary" books. The job of a critic is to make us ask questions about a book to better understand it, not dismiss it for its genre or because it's "for kids."
There is more great literary content out there than ever—but it is scattered across the Web. Literary Hub brings it together in one place, a go-to daily source for all the news, ideas, and richness of contemporary literary life. With the help of its partners—a cross-section of the best in contemporary literary publishing—Literary Hub will feature original and curated content about books and the people who write them, read them, love them.

Over the last many moons, my wife busted her ass to make the shed happen. She weathered the (several) problems that popped up. She helped me settle on a design that did not look like a four-year-old painted it with poopy hands. Delays and problems besieged — and oh yeah, right around the holidays, too, whee — but then, it happened.
They delivered the shed. And put it together.
I WANT ONE. Hell, if it weren't for the flood-happy nature of my backyard (we're right against a river), I'd put one in.

Why I Teach
I teach the same way I practiced journalism for nearly 20 years — with heart. My purpose is to introduce people to the world around them, a world we walk in daily but often fail to see. Thinking about current events, and learning to report and write on the issues, focuses one's thinking and ability to clearly express oneself.
I love journalism and young people. I take pride in the part I'm playing to train future journalists.

Is Mitt Romney a Bully?
The presidential campaign story of the day is Jason Horowitz's lengthy portrait of Mitt Romney's days as a student at the elite Cranbrook prep school in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. While the story contains a lot of detail that paints the picture of who the youthful Mitt Romney was and what kind of environments he grew up in, the headline-grabbing part is Romney's leading role, corroborated by several witnesses, in a vicious assault on a classmate whom everyone thought was gay. Partisan Democrats are certainly going to use this to make the case that the incident gives us important insight into Romney's character. I'll get to what I think this does and doesn't tell us about him in a moment, but here's the key passage:
Mitt Romney returned from a three-week spring break in 1965 to resume his studies as a high school senior at the prestigious Cranbrook School. Back on the handsome campus, studded with Tudor brick buildings and manicured fields, he spotted something he thought did not belong at a school where the boys wore ties and carried briefcases. John Lauber, a soft-spoken new student one year behind Romney, was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality. Now he was walking around the all-boys school with bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye, and Romney wasn't having it.
"He can't look like that. That's wrong. Just look at him!" an incensed Romney told Matthew Friedemann, his close friend in the Stevens Hall dorm, according to Friedemann's recollection. Mitt, the teenaged son of Michigan Gov. George Romney, kept complaining about Lauber's look, Friedemann recalled.
A few days later, Friedemann entered Stevens Hall off the school's collegiate quad to find Romney marching out of his own room ahead of a prep school posse shouting about their plan to cut Lauber's hair. Friedemann followed them to a nearby room where they came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors.
The postscript to this incident is that Romney's punishment for the assault was ... nothing. Maybe the administration never heard about it, or maybe they did but decided it was just ordinary youthful hijinks, or maybe they decided that since Mitt was the governor's son, they'd just let it slide. Lauber, on the other hand, was later expelled when he was caught smoking a cigarette.
Now, on to what this tells us about Mitt Romney. For the most part, I think everyone should be forgiven for pretty much anything they do before they hit about 20 or so. We've all done stupid, insensitive, even cruel things as teenagers, even if most of us never did anything quite that cruel. Thankfully, our society is coming to an understanding about the harm that bullying causes, but in 1965, a young man who seemed a bit effeminate being tortured by his classmates seemed to most people to be utterly unproblematic, even expected.
Places like Cranbrook taught their charges that the world had a hierarchical order, that order was just and good, and their place was at the top of it. Few people would understand that message more deeply than the governor's son. And someone in their very midst who dyed his hair was a threat to that order. So young Mitt's reaction was unsurprising: "He can't look like that. That's wrong. Just look at him!" The offender had to be made to understand that non-conformity was not acceptable. And oh boy, was he ever made to understand. Mitt made sure of that.
Let's accept for the moment that the 18-year-old Mitt Romney was a premium-grade jerk, but unlike in a teen movie where the snobby rich asshole gets his comeuppance in the end, he went on to become Cranbrook's proudest product. It's almost half a century later. Does this story tell us anything about the man he is today, or the kind of president he'd be?
I'm really not sure. Whether Romney ever believed that privilege was nothing more than the birthright of aristocrats like him, today he seems to believe, along with the rest of his class, that their privilege is actually something they earned, and those who don't occupy the same exalted place they do just need to tug on those bootstraps a little more vigorously. Is there a correlation between the kind of cruel streak that makes you hold down a screaming, crying boy and cut off his hair, and the kind of cruel streak that makes you want to take away people's health insurance? On one hand, Mitt Romney is a grown man, not the teenager he was. I would be shocked if the process of maturation didn't make him more reflective and less impulsive, and even lead him to regret some of the things he did as a young person. That happens to almost everyone.
On the other hand, we express our personalities and our values—those of today, not those of our youthful selves—through our politics. Imagine that what this story actually said was that Mitt bravely stood up for his gay classmate in the face of the other boys' scorn, showing himself to be admirably humane and courageous. Would that change the consequences of the things he advocates today? Would that make it less abhorrent that he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act, or that he wants to cut social programs, or that he wants to cut protections for clean air and clean water, or that he thinks gay people should be second-class citizens? No. Whether he wants to do those things because deep down in his soul he's a cruel person and always has been, or because he's perfectly kind to the people he meets but believes in an ideology that is fundamentally cruel, doesn't matter a bit. He's not asking us to elect him hall prefect, he's asking us to elect him president. This story is certainly colorful and interesting, but it shouldn't change what we think about Mitt Romney as a candidate.

"For the most part, I think everyone should be forgiven for pretty much anything they do before they hit about 20 or so."
Pretty much anything? Rape? Assault and battery? The second is what this incident was.
I still think I was right to try to instill in my daughter a sense of conscience and responsibility for the way she treated other people . And I actually even tried to instill those ideas in her before she was 20.
But I can see not everyone is on the same page as I am.

A story from close to fifty years ago tells us something about where Romney came from, but the important part of this story isn't Romney's subsequent presumed evolution. It's that, by all appearances, he chose to follow his all-too-familiar path of lying about the incident - dismissing a pretty outrageous act as a "prank" and claiming to have no memory of what happened.
If the incident weren't in Romney's character, he would have told us exactly that: "It never happened. That is not the sort of thing I would ever have done." I can say that. I'm willing to bet that you can say that. Romney cannot. What Romney could do is own up to his past and express contrition, describe how he has changed his ways, learned the lessons of life, grown past his high school immaturity and cruelty. But it's easier to lie, and lying has worked well for him in his campaign, so he returns to habit.

Does Romney think "everyone should be forgiven for pretty much anything they do before they hit about 20 or so"? No. He's not even for "forgiving" young undocumented immigrants who came here as children, i.e. people who acted with no malice, and in many cases with no choice, at all. Why should he get a pass for the passage of time while he seeks to punish vulnerable youth for conduct that harms no one?

This piece is part of a Reuters series on corporate tax avoidance, and focuses on how Amazon has set up branches in different countries and has orchestrated payments between them in order to avoid paying U.S. taxes.
Some reporting had been done by different media outlets on how Amazon was evading taxes overseas, but Reuters decided to look into what might be happening in the U.S. To find this information, they examined accounts filed in six countries by 25 different Amazon units.
The main analysis of this data was tracking payments between the units to assess the minutiae of how taxes were being avoided.
To do this, the reporter would have needed to be able to create customized computer lists to track money going between specific units, and would also have needed to do basic math with large sums.
The story includes a short slideshow, but no graphics. However, because of the complexity of the topic, there is an associated video called "Amazon's billion-dollar tax shield: decoder."
The video breaks down the issue into small pieces, showing how Amazon set up the tax-evasion system over time, and why this system works the way it does.

Aldermen explain split votes on bar issueBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | February 21,2013Alderman Charles Romeo said he had perfectly sensible reasons for backing two amendments to his ordinance before rejecting the ordinance as amended.
Romeo was one of three aldermen who voted for amendments to allow minors in bars with parental supervision and to create one-time permits for 18-and-over parties. Then they rejected the overall proposal those measures were modifying an ordinance banning patrons under 21 years of age from city bars.
The ordinance was intended to close a loophole under which a local nightclub was holding 18-and-over parties. Such parties are theoretically banned under the citys entertainment ordinance, which says bars featuring live music or dancing may not admit patrons under 21 unless they admit them every night theyre open.
The Local, a Merchants Row night club, made use of this latter clause after an unsuccessful attempt to get the ordinance modified to allow for weekly dance parties in which patrons 18 and over could be admitted but not served alcohol.
If the board wanted to ban persons under 21 from going into bars, I wanted to give them the tools to do it, Romeo said Wednesday. I wasnt wedded to it one way or the other, but if the city wanted to do that, (the original proposal) was a straightforward way to do it.
Romeo said each of the amendments made sense to him as they were presented and debated by the board, but when the discussion turned back to the ordinance as a whole, he thought the board may have lost its way.
It became very quickly, from my point of view, that the ordinance was not too far from what the current law allows, he said.
Romeo said he had wanted to rewrite the entertainment ordinance last summer, but got little support for such an endeavor. He said he might support an ordinance based on the amendment creating a permit process for 18-and-over parties, which would also close the loophole.
The other two swing voters, Aldermen Gary Donahue and Christopher Siliski, both said they were ultimately opposed to the proposal but, if it had to go through, disliked it less with the two amendments.
It was kind of a hedged bet, Siliski said. If the final vote was a pro vote, I wanted those amendments in there to help the business owners.
While Romeo said the ordinance was designed to apply equally to city bar owners, Donahue said it seemed like it was aimed squarely at The Local.
This wasnt about kids walking into Center Street Saloon or CJs, Donahue said. Were picking on one business.
