The decision by the Lawrence & Memorial Hospital Corp. to make an aggressive bid to obtain control of the struggling Westerly Hospital is a calculated risk, but a good one. The corporation that oversees the community hospital in New London could choose to rest on its current success, playing it safe and conservative. But in a changing health care market that could prove to be the greater risk.
With federal Medicare payments tightening and efforts accelerating to reduce health care spending, hospitals across the country are seeking partnerships, mergers and acquisitions to remain competitive. By growing smartly, hospitals can reduce management costs, gain greater flexibility in where and how services are offered and provide treatment options once reserved for larger medical institutions.
There is also a defensive element in the L&M Corp.'s bold move to acquire Westerly Hospital. Someone will gain control of that hospital, which entered receivership last December after years of operating at a loss. If it is a competitively aggressive for-profit chain, that could mean difficulties for L&M.
Attorney Mark Russo, the special master the court placed in charge of taking Westerly Hospital through receivership, filed a petition in Rhode Island Superior Court recommending that it accept the "stalking horse" bid from L&M. If, as expected, the court approves, the bid will become the standard by which the court evaluates any subsequent bids.
L&M Corp. submitted what is in essence a $69.1 million bid. That figure includes $22 million to assume existing Westerly Hospital liabilities; $6.5 million to fund a turnaround plan to restore the non-profit community hospital to fiscal health; and $30 million invested over the next five years in technology, equipment, infrastructure and services.
The proposed investment comes as L&M, also a non-profit community hospital, is coming off one of its most fiscally successful years and at a time when it holds an A-plus debt rating, facts that convinced Mr. Russo that L&M can honor its commitments.
Important to local residents, The Westerly Hospital would remain an independent acute care hospital, with its existing name and services, according to the proposal. Both hospitals would have the L&M Corp. as their common, corporate parent.
Some might question the wisdom of L&M taking control of a struggling community hospital, but Chief Financial Officer Lugene Inzana assures us that L&M has taken a hard look at the root causes of Westerly Hospital's fiscal problems and is satisfied more efficient businesses practices can address them. A major fiscal drag was the North Stonington Health Center that Westerly Hospital opened in 2010. The health center is not included in the sale of the Westerly Hospital.
We recently touted the announcement that L&M would soon begin construction of a $35 million cancer diagnosis and treatment center to be staffed by clinicians from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. That project alone is a big challenge. Given a choice, the L&M Corp. would probably choose another time to pursue the purchase of a second hospital. But opportunity does not always arrive on a schedule.
L&M began exploring the potential for acquiring Westerly Hospital even before that hospital entered receivership. Its bid shows just how serious it is. It is in the best interests of both the L&M Corp. and the people of the Westerly area that they succeed.

Naadir Tharpe will not be returning to Kansas for his senior season, head coach Bill Self announced Thursday. Tharpe looks to transfer closer to home to be near his young daughter who has battled health issues.
The announcement caps off a sometimes tough season on an off the court for Tharpe, who hopes that the move will be the catalyst in finishing his college basketball career on a positive note.
"Naadir and I have talked numerous times since he's been here about his role and about his situation back home with his daughter," Self said in a statement. "He's told me many times how much he misses his little girl and she's had some health issues that has certainly made it difficult for him to be away from her for this extended period of time. She's doing very well now, but Naadir approached me after the season was over about him wanting to be closer to her. This is his decision to try and accomplish that."
Tharpe played in 103 games for Kansas with 31 starts. He averaged 5.5 minutes during KU's 2011-12 Final Four season and 19.4 minutes with a 5.5 scoring average his sophomore season in 2012-13. This past season, he earned all-Big 12 honorable mention status, averaging five assists a game.
"I enjoyed my time here," Tharpe said. "I appreciate the players that were here before me that I got a chance to play with and that are still friends with me right now. It's going to be tough leaving a situation like this because of the teammates I'm leaving behind. Everything happens for a reason and I have to continue my journey a different way.

William Seymour was a religious pioneer who initiated the Pentacostal religion. The former railroad porter from Centerville, Louisiana went blind after being stricken with smallpox. When he moved to Houston, Texas in 1903, Seymour wished to attend a white Bible school, but could only listen to the sermon in the hallway because whites and blacks could not be taught together in the school. He learned from Charles Fox Parnham, a Holiness teacher who taught the practice of speaking in tongues. From this, Seymour rooted the Pentecostal Doctrine.
A few years later, Seymour had moved to Los Angeles and began preaching on the porch of a friend. So many people attended his sermons that the porch floor caved in.
Seymour soon started his own small shotgun church, the Apostolic Faith Mission, which attracted over 600 people. Many came to his church located on Azusa Street to see him shouting, fall into trances, and do the 'holy dance.' With a teaching that said "the Holy Ghost was in control," the services were not structured. A box hung on the wall that said, "Settle with the Lord." It was a new experience many had never seen in a church before.
The local press condemned the teachings of Seymour. The minister soon started his own publication called The Apostolic Faith, which had over 50,000 subscribers worldwide. The religion became integrated as whites came to witness the doctrine proclaimed by Seymour.
From the efforts of Seymour came Charles Mason who studied the religion and returned to lead the Church of God in Christ, then William Durham, who began the Assemblies of God in 1914.
William Seymour died in 1922. His Apostolic Faith Mission Church was sold and is now the Japanese Cultural Center.

My fiance and I are using these tins as favors at our wedding. I did not really know what to expect when we ordered them, but when they arrived and I saw the quality of these tins, I was pleasantly surprised. There is no assembly necessary, as the labels on the tins are printed directly on the tin (exactly as we designed the label), and even the mints come in sealed plastic bags already inside each individual tin. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Cusick's Corner The market held up into the close, with the S&Ps finishing off the highs and below the resistance level that I wrote about last week, 1325. The Crude market, USO, finished below $97.50 which was a level that could possibly put more pressure on the Crude longs, could potentially see $92, especially if the overnight action gets dicey. We are in overbought territory and once the potential Greek solution catalyst is in the rearview mirror until June at least, traders with a nice return over the last month may take some profits. I am seeing this kind of action in the commodities and starting to wonder if this could spill into the equities, at least for the short-term. Tomorrow I will have a discussion on spread trading in a low volatility environment. See you Midday. Stock market averages rallied at the open and are holding the gains late-Wednesday. The underlying tone of trading was bullish on the first day of February after strong manufacturing data in China and Europe raised hopes that the global economy is weathering the storm caused by ongoing European debt problems. Stock market averages saw solid gains across the Eurozone, led by a 2.4 percent rally in Germany's DAX. In the US, the domestic economic news was mixed. A report from ADP released before the opening bell on Wall Street showed the economy adding 170,000 new jobs in January, which was about 30,000 less-than-expected. The latest ISM index of manufacturing activity was released later and rose 1 point to 54.1 in January, but that was .4 less than expected. However, Factory Orders increased by 1.5 percent in December and 1.1 percent more than economists had predicted. The data didn't seem to have much market impact, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average was already sporting a triple digit gain before the ISM and Factory Orders reports were released. With an hour left to trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is now up 127 points and 25 points from its best levels.Bullish Bank of America (BAC) is up 3.9 percent to $7.39 and the best gainer in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. BAC had a good month in January and has now rallied 32.9 percent year-to-date. One large player in the options market seems to be anticipating additional gains for shares of the bank and bought a hefty block of call options on the stock. In midday trading Wednesday, 62,500 April 8 calls were bought on Bank of America for 37 cents per contract. The block probably adds to a position opened yesterday. As noted in Tuesday's wrap, an investor bought 62,500 April 8 calls on the bank yesterday for 28 cents. Shares have since added 4 percent and the investor is paying 32 percent more today for the same call options. This large call buyer is possibly looking to accumulate a sizeable position in BofA, but rather than buying shares outright today, they are buying call options - which lock in the right to buy or "call" the stock at $8 per share through mid-April. Bullish trading was also seen in Corinthian Colleges (COCO), Impax Labs (IPXL), and US Steel (X).Bearish A hefty three-legged trade surfaces in Amylin Pharmaceuticals (AMLN) Wednesday afternoon. Shares are up $1.25 to $15.49 and are extending a rally that started Monday after the FDA approved the company's diabetes drug Bydureon. Shares have surged 27.6 percent so far this week. One investor might be looking to protect recent gains and initiated a massively bearish spread on the stock. In this advanced position, 10,000 March 19 calls were sold on the stock at 47 cents, 10,000 March 15 puts bought for $1.14, and 20,000 March 12 puts sold for 29 cents. In essence, March 19 calls were sold on the stock to help finance a Mar 12 - 15 (2X1) put ratio spread. A 9-cent debit was paid for the three-way and the position will offer its best payoff if shares fall to $12, or 22.5 percent, through the May expiration. There is additional risk to the downside because only half of the Mar 12 puts, which were sold, are covered by the Mar 15s. The debit is lost if shares hold above $15 and all of the options expire worthless. There's also additional risk to the upside from selling Mar 19 calls. Bearish trading was also seen in ATP Oil and Gas (ATPG), Murphy (MUR), and Sony (SNE).Index Trading CBOE Volatility Index (.VIX) is down .98 to 18.46 and trying to hold above the 2012 closing low of 18.28 set on January 20. One player in the options market seems to be anticipating a rebound in the index through mid-March and initiated a March 20 - 27 - 35 call butterfly on the index for $1.225, 10000X. In this advanced options play, 20000 March 27 calls were sold on the VIX for the body of the fly. The same strategist also bought 10,000 March 20 calls and bought 10,000 March 35 calls for the wings. Since the body of the fly, or the sweet spot of the spread, is at 27, the spread has a bullish bias. To be specific, the position will offer its best payout if the index settles at 27 at the March expiration.ETF Action In the midday report, we noted that one investor sold 10,000 February 55 puts on SPDR Retail Trust (XRT) at 74 cents and sold 10,000 February 56 calls at 70 cents. Since volume exceeds the open interest in both contracts, the position looks like a new position. It's a so-called strangle write. We later found out that the position was related to a pairs strategy, in which the investor bought 10,000 Feb 53 puts on the iShares MSCI Fund (EFA) for 93 cents and 10,000 February 53 calls for 90 cents. EFA is up 93 cents to $53.07. In essence, the strategist was selling XRT strangles to buy EFA straddles. It appears to be a volatility play - and possibly a view that EFA, which is a fund that holds shares of companies from Europe, the Far East, and Australia, will see higher levels of volatility relative to domestic retailing names. It's a short-term play because February options expire in 16 days.

McMillan Park Planning
This past fall, the DC Sierra Club took a position regarding the development planning for McMillan Park, a 25-acre green space and decommissioned water treatment plant in northwest DC. A proposal for developing that land has been under review by the DC government's Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB), and on September 24, Jim Dougherty, the Chapter's Conservation Chair, submitted a letter to the HPRB, asking them to "reject the currently proposed master plan" because it contains far too little contiguous public park space. The letter stated that "the present design plans do too little to preserve the park-like characteristics that dominate the present space," and that "a more balanced plan for the McMillan Park site would devote half or more of the surface to contiguous park and park-like use."
Background: McMillan Park (which includes McMillan Reservoir) is bound on the north by Michigan Avenue NW, on the east by North Capitol Street, on the south by Channing and Bryant Streets and on the west by Fifth Street NW. The land was originally developed in 1905 as a water filtration plant for the city, cleverly hidden under McMillan Park, and using an innovative and environmentally friendly system of passing the water through sand (rather than chemical treatment). The site has a number of large concrete towers that once held the sand and underground cells filled with sand through which the water was filtered. Most of what is visible above ground constitutes a "green roof" of about three feet of top soil covered with grass and trees. President Taft declared the site a National Park in 1911. The original architects (including Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and other luminaries) designed the space to be multi-functional and open to the public, and it functioned as a park until the federal government closed it during World War II for security reasons. The plant ceased operation in 1986 and remains closed to the public.
The Proposal: The current proposal, submitted by a company called Vision McMillan Partners (VMP), under a special contract to the city, includes dense residential apartments (1200 residential units with buildings up to 10 stories) and commercial space (including a 125,000 square foot shopping center and hotel/conference center) and underground parking, with very little green space, most of it just tree boxes. In addition, the plan would destroy most of the historic vaulted underground cells that define the Park's sense of place.
Political Positions/Bureaucratic Processes. Opposition has been mounting against the current plan from several groups – these include Friends of McMillan Park, a group of community volunteers who support sustainable development for the Park, advocate preserving the existing green space along with sustainable development and smart growth, and have been leading the effort to defeat the proposal. In May 2012, Councilmember Phil Mendelson publicly opposed the VMP proposal before the HPRB. In addition, the Bloomingdale Civic Association, the Pleasant Plains Civic Association, Howard University, Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 1B (representing the Reservoir and adjacent neighborhoods), Stronghold Civic Association, and the National Association for Olmsted Parks have all outright (and in most cases, unanimously) rejected the VMP plan. ANC5C (representing the filtration site and adjacent neighborhoods in Northeast DC) voted in October to support the VMP submission, which resulted in the Bloomingdale Civic Association adopting a Resolution of No Confidence in ANC5C regarding the Park. Neighborhoods most affected by the proposal cite potential problems with flooding (caused by over-development of the land without adequate drainage systems), traffic congestion, lack of repeatedly requested park space, and failure to preserve the above- and below-ground historic resources of the park and monument to engineering innovation.
A Better Plan: In July, the HPRB met to review the VMP proposal, and an alternative proposal was presented by a firm called Collage City Studio, on behalf of McMillan Park Committee and Friends of McMillan Park. That plan would preserve a significant portion of the underground sand filtration vaults, and would accommodate an urban farm on top of part of the green roof above the vaults. The vaults would be repurposed as a bazaar-style shopping venue (accommodating farmers markets, artisans, musicians, etc.) and community recreation center, and one of the vaults would be preserved to demonstrate the original sand filtration process. The plan would also expose the below-ground creek – which would be part of a storm-water management system. The alternative plan includes 1.5 million square feet of mixed use and residential development while preserving the site's historic core, with hopes that the site would attain landmark designation in the National Register of Historic Places.
The next HPRB meeting addressing this issue is scheduled for Thursday, December 20, at 9 a.m. at 441 4th St. NW room 221-south. Agendas are subject to change, so call HPRB at 202-442-7600 or go to http://planning.dc.gov/DC/Planning/Historic+Preservation for updates including videostreaming instructions. Come out and express your support for preserving this national monument and park and to prevent commercial forces from destroying it.
Results of DC 2012 Elections (Bob Summersgill)
Most Candidates we endorsed won, giving us the strongest D.C. Council in History on environmental issues! Here are the election results along with a summary of our endorsements.
- Phil Mendelson, Chairman. Mr. Mendelson was elected to serve out the final two years of the Council Chairman's term left vacant by the resignation of Kwame Brown. The D.C. Sierra Club gave Mr. Mendelson an early endorsement, as we have previously done. He has been our champion on the Council. He wrote the original tree protection legislation and he has introduced an amendment this term to strengthen the law to better protect our trees. We are very pleased to have such strong environmental leadership at the helm of the Council. There will be a special election in the Spring of 2013 to fill his At-Large Council seat. The D.C. Sierra Club will evaluate candidates in that race once the election is certified by the Board of Elections and candidates announce their intentions to run.
- David Grosso, At-Large. Mr. Grosso won one of the two At-Large seats on the D.C. Council, ousting incumbent Michael A. Brown. The D.C. Sierra Club endorsed Mr. Grosso after he demonstrated to us that he shares our values, as well as our vision of making the District the greenest city in the world. Mr. Grosso agreed with the D.C. Sierra Club on every issue on our questionnaire. Mr. Grosso's campaign specifically mentioned recycling efforts, renewable energy, preserving the city's tree canopy, and expanding urban gardening. We are pleased to have another member of the Council who is concerned about the environment. We hope that our endorsement and efforts helped propel him to victory.
- Ann Wilcox, At-Large. Ms. Wilcox was endorsed as a long-shot candidate for Council At-large. Unfortunately she didn't win. She has a strong environmental record and agrees with the D.C. Sierra Club on every issue. She provided a substantial amount of legal support for the McKibben-Keystone XL pipeline action at the White House. We hope that she will learn from the experience and run again with a stronger campaign.
- The D.C. Sierra Club endorsed three incumbents in the primaries and in the general election: Jack Evans(Ward 2), Muriel Bowser (Ward 4), and Yvette Alexander (Ward 7). We also endorsed Kenyan McDuffie, who won the Ward 5 special election by a wide margin and now serves on the D.C. Council.
- With the elections this year, we now have the best Council in D.C.'s history on environmental issues. We will be working with the Council on a range of environmental issues and legislation. For a more details on the candidates and our endorsement process, please see the News section of our website.
Community Renewable Energy Act (the Solar Bill) - an update (Amy Weinfurter)
As the awareness of solar energy's benefits grows, photovoltaic panels are cropping up on homes, offices, and community facilities across the country. In Washington, D.C. alone, over 500 solar projects have been installed, as residents seek to lower their energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint. To broaden the benefits of solar energy even further, the Washington, D.C. Chapter of the Sierra Club has teamed up with several local partners to make solar energy accessible to more Washington residents.
The District currently limits solar energy generation – and its financial benefits – to home or building owners who are able to install photovoltaic systems on their property.
Through net metering, a system already adopted by the Public Service Commission and implemented by PEPCO, these utility customers are eligible to receive a credit on their monthly utility bills for the electricity generated by PV solar panels. Net metering allows energy to flow back and forth onto the grid -- onto the grid when panels produce more electricity than the building consumes, and from the grid when the building consumes more energy than the solar panels produces. On their monthly bills, customer/generators pay only the cost of electricity
consumed minus the cost of electricity produced. This system ensures that residents always have access to the electricity they need, even on cloudy days. It also helps the rest of the grid take advantage of any surplus solar energy, lowering the carbon footprint of the entire region.
The solar net metering regulations in the District currently exclude:
- Most apartment renters and condominium or coop apartment owners;
- Home owners in shady areas;
- Low-income residents who do not qualify for the financing to install photovoltaic systems on their property; and
- Businesses that do not own their own buildings.
While some multi-family apartment buildings use solar energy to generate electricity for areas served by common electrical meters (such as hallways, laundry rooms, and lobbies), tenants cannot use solar energy and net metering for their own apartments' electricity. These restrictions limit the economic and environmental benefits of solar energy.
To address these challenges, the Washington D.C. Chapter of the Sierra Club partnered with DC Solar United Neighborhoods and VOTE Solar to draft the Community Renewables Energy Act (CREA). With these organizations, our chapter has lobbied the D.C. Council and coordinated with a variety of local energy stakeholders to advance the legislation. CREA enacts a mechanism known as virtual net metering to bring renewable energy access to more DC residents. The Act authorizes the creation of community renewable energy facilities. These facilities would connect to the electricity grid, and could be owned and operated by individuals, solar companies, other energy companies, the utility, community-based organizations, or other entities.
Through virtual net metering, energy consumers would be able to buy a portion of renewable energy from any community renewable energy facility, and receive a deduction on their utility bill, corresponding to the amount of renewable energy their portion puts back onto the grid. In other words, CREA would enable Pepco customers to subscribe to a community solar project anywhere in the city, even if their property is not located in a sunny spot. They could lower their energy bill and support renewable energy, even if they lack the authority or financial resources to install photovoltaic systems on their homes or office buildings. The Act would also enable multiple residents of an apartment building to share an on-site photovoltaic system.
Councilmembers Yvette Alexander, from Ward Seven, and Mary Cheh, from Ward Three, introduced CREA to the DC Council on March 6, 2012. The Committee on Public Services and Consumer Affairs held a public hearing regarding the bill on June 14, 2012, and convened a working group to discuss and finalize the bill's language. The DC Chapter of the Sierra Club has been an active participant in the working group. The working group is close to finalizing some technical details in the legislation.
The DC Chapter of the Sierra Club and the other members of the DC Community Solar coalition will continue to lobby the Council and press for the bill's passage, which will hopefully occur in January 2013. To help with their efforts, or to learn more about CREA, please contact Nicole Sitaraman at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Other DC Chapter Energy Committee activities:
- Exploring possible ways to become involved with the 21st Century Grid Coalition - a movement led by the DC Environmental Network (and others) to require that the DC Public Service Commission study how DC can transition to renewable energy sources for its electricity in the electric grid.
- Working with the DC government and the Sustainable DC initiative to develop a Clean Alternative Technologies Standard (CATS). The plan would shift reliance from coal-generated power sources to more renewable sources using a timed phase-out to reduce electricity driven carbon emissions by 60%. Currently, less than 10% of DC's electricity comes from renewable sources (wind, solar, geothermal,...). Using smarter energy sources would reduce our carbon footprint, but also reduce the amount of toxic chemicals (e.g., sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides...) that we breath in our air.

Upcoming Polar Bear Plunge
Can you find the DC Chapter
member in this pic of last year's
Polar Bear Plunge?
As you know, our climate is getting weirder and more unpredictable with each passing year. From super-storm Sandy to the "derecho" storm last summer, climate change is speaking to us – no, screaming at us. In response, Sierra Club members are doing something that also might involve a little screaming: running into the icy cold waters of the Potomac River in January. And, we're hoping you'll join us.
We know it sounds crazy, but hear us out. The Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) does this Plunge each year as their biggest fundraiser and most invigorating grassroots event. Hundreds of people, ages 8 to 80, take a 30-second dip in the name of climate protection (some just run in up to their knees, others take the full plunge). Before the plunge, each participant asks their friends and family to sponsor them by making a donation – similar to other charity walks and bike rides. It's a fun and easy way to make a big difference for our planet.
This year, the DC Chapter of the Sierra Club is co-sponsoring the Plunge – meaning that once we hit $1000 as a team, half of what we raise as a team will come back to the DC Chapter to support our work too. It's a win-win and we're really excited for the opportunity! But, in order to be successful, we need you to join our team, recruit sponsors and take the plunge. Will you join TEAM SIERRA CLUB?
Signing up is easy and recruiting sponsors is as simple as sending a few emails. Running into the water takes courage, but if NASA climate scientist Dr. James Hansen can do it, so can we! And, it's for a great cause. Here's how to sign up:
- Register. Go to http://www.keepwintercold.org, click the green REGISTER button toward the top and follow the easy step-by-step instructions to register. Be sure to join TEAM SIERRA CLUB when you get to that part of the process. (Editing your page is really easy, so don't feel like it has to be perfect)
- Set your goal. CCAN is requesting that everyone set a minimum goal of $350 (symbolic of the 350 parts per million of CO2 that scientists say is the upper limit our climate can handle to remain stable). You can set the goal that's right for you – feel free to aim high!
- Recruit sponsors. You'll receive sample emails and all you have to do is send a few out to people you know, asking them to make a donation via your personal fundraising page that you create when you register.
That's it! Many of us never thought we'd voluntarily run into any body of water in January, but this is really important and we're excited to brave the icy waters for a few seconds to raise money to fight climate change. We hope you'll join us!
