Weaning: What, When, and How
6 to 8 Weeks: Reduce the Rocking to Sleep
You may relish rocking in your glider as your little one drifts off in your arms, but eventually, she needs to learn to fall asleep by herself. In the first nine months, Baby's sleep cycle is about 60 minutes; if she dozes only after you've held or bounced her, then each time she wakes, she'll need your help. "It becomes a crutch," says Kim West, a licensed child and family therapist in Annapolis, Maryland, who specializes in newborn and infant sleep.
You'll want to begin putting the brakes on rocking at 6 to 8 weeks, when your munchkin starts to snooze more at night. "As long as Baby is not colicky, you can lay her down in her crib drowsy but awake and skip the rocking," West says. By 4 months, you'll want to eliminate sleep crutches, West says, whether it's pacing the nursery or nursing her to sleep, so that Baby can fall asleep on her own. "If it's any later, it's harder to get a baby to let it go," she says.
Break the Habit West suggests shaving a few minutes off your rocking session each night until you're ready to quit completely. Consistency counts. You don't want to stop rocking him one night, only to start again the next. It will only make quitting more difficult. If Baby cries, stroke his head gently or sing him a lullaby, but don't lift him out of the crib. Considering that the average baby takes 15 to 20 minutes to fall asleep, you need patience (and strong nerves). Take heart, though: Just because you're no longer rocking Baby to sleep doesn't mean you have to give up cuddles. You can still nestle in a cozy spot and sing songs, but don't use motion to lull Baby to dreamland.
Yes! Weaning Success! "We read books and sang songs as usual during our son's bedtime routine, but then we'd put Daniel down in his crib to conk out on his own," says Edyta Ryga, of Syosset, New York. "That first night, he fussed, so we sat in the room with him for a spell and let him know we were there. Within a couple of days, Daniel was falling asleep without our help."

An African Elegy Summary & Study Guide Description
An African Elegy Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. This study guide contains the following sections:
This detailed literature summary also contains For Further Study on An African Elegy by Robert Duncan.
Preview of An African Elegy Summary:
"An African Elegy" is one of the most controversial poems that Duncan ever wrote. Editor John Crowe Ransom accepted the poem for publication in The Kenyon Review in 1942 calling it "very brilliant." However, after Duncan published his essay "The Homosexual in Society" in Dwight Mac- Donald's radical monthly Politics, "outing" himself and arguing (in part) that gay culture needed to see itself as more fully a part of mainstream society, Ransom changed his mind and decided not to publish the poem. Ransom wrote: "We are not in the market for literature of this type." By literature of this type, Ransom meant poetry that, in his view, was an "obvious homosexual advertisement." The curious thing about Ransom's rejection of the poem is that he did not read any homosexual content in it when he accepted it, but only after reading Duncan's essay. Ransom, though he praised the essay, disagreed with...

UK competition watchdog orders changes in accounting market

- Share this
LONDON Oct 15 (Reuters) - Britain's top 350 companies must put out their book-keeping work to tender at least once a decade to increase competition in a market dominated by just four big accounting firms.
The Competition Commission published its final report on Tuesday following a probe into Britain's audit market but rowed back on an earlier draft recommendation that would force companies to re-tender their audit work every five years.
The watchdog had faced opposition from companies and the accounting sector's regulator, the Financial Reporting Council, who has just introduced a rule requiring firms to consider retendering at least once a decade.
The so-called Big Four accountants, KPMG, PwC, EY and Deloitte check the books of most blue chips across the world. Many top firms have kept the same accountant for decades.

It's in the days and days of constant media stories about how Obama got beat that the perception really filters in to the general electorate. And that's the media's job, to educate on an event many people couldn't follow live. The ash and sackcloth routine of the liberal opinion columnists, though, seems an odd approach if they feel it is so dire that he be re-elected. CNN afterward had most their panel calling it a decisive win for Romney, but nobody was running around with their head chopped off ala Chris Matthews.
Yep. Basically, liberals wanted Obama to call Romney a lying son of a b****, and when he didn't, it was a disaster as far as they were concerned (I admit, this was my inital reaction as well). And so that became the narrative in the days that followed. Like you said, how many folks actually watched the debates in their entirety, or came away with a strong opinion on who won? If liberals had been more cagey in their reaction, more willing to stoop to intellectual dishonestly like the right, I suspect the narrative would have been different and thus the public perception less damaging.

Lodge at Vail Review
The first facility to open in Vail, in 1962, the sprawling lodge—modeled after the Lodge at Sun Valley—is popular with skiers and families because of its fabulous location only 150 feet from the village's main lift, the Gondola One. Ski valets ready your skis every morning and collect your gear for drying in the evening. The quality and size of the rooms varies tremendously. The older wing has smaller, individually decorated rooms with a homey feel, while the newer wing has larger suites with modern touches like heated marble floors in the bathrooms and gas fireplaces. A 2013 renovation added two new hot tubs and a pool with an outdoor bar and kitchen.

Sidewalk Inspection
Sidewalks abut many urban and suburban properties. Pedestrian falls on sidewalks are often the result of the failure of the abutting property owner or other responsible person to maintain the sidewalk in a reasonably safe condition (e.g., in good repair or free of snow, ice and other materials). Regular sidewalk inspection is an important tool for identifying hazardous conditions that require correction. This checklist highlights areas that should be considered when inspecting existing sidewalks for liability concerns.
Sidewalk Construction Are any of the following construction defects present:

I got to the event right on time, but actually finding the venue was truly a challenge. It's like trying to solve a mystery of the missing venue and your only clue is, find the hat! And yes it was where the hat was, but the hat was at the side of a cashier counter of a cafe, and if it was not for the hat, it would just have been a wall.
This was almost a year ago (yes, we'd like to catch up on our blogging!) and it was somewhat the launch of Tate, a private and exclusive lounge where you'd expect to find a gathering of mob bosses in the 1950′s with their cigars, discussing business, drinking whisky. That night, Glenfiddich was there with their array of fine single malt whiskies for the gentlemen… and gentlewomen.
It's always nice when party people dress to theme and make good use of the props provided. Even better when they pose for my pictures!

Knutson Family Dentistry DDS
Phone: (605) 624-6291
Address: 1714 East Cherry Street
Vermillion, SD 57069-1610
Areas of Practice: Dentists
One of the most critical decisions in medicine and health is picking the right dental professional. Having a healthy smile and mouth area can have a major impact on your personal and professional life. When you meet a new person among the first things you notice is their smile. Discovering the right dentist in Vermillion is a very important step with regards to looking after your teeth. In the following paragraphs we'll discuss the best methods to choose the right dentist.
Before you do anything else, you'll want to figure out what you are looking for. Are you looking for a dentist in Vermillion-57069 to have major work done or simply searching for some regular cleanings? Are you looking to have any cosmetic dental work done? If you're simply looking for basic teeth cleaning treatments then you certainly won't need to be as discerning.
The second thing you have to do is have an idea of your would-be dentists' experience and training. Also discover details about the practice. Which kind of practice is it? Is it one with specific attention or a factory who is wanting to get people in and out? Picking a dentist who focuses on that which you are looking for is a good idea. Many dentists will also have pre and post pictures available, and these could give you an idea of the quality of the work.
The third thing you should do is look at the price. Usually when the prices are really low, there's a good reason. If dental offices are looking to see a lot of patients quickly, then they usually publicize a low price. If you're looking for specialized treatment, this isn't a good thing. By merely contacting the office or doing research online you should be able to get a good idea of which kind of practice it is. Following the advice above will make deciding on the best dentist a lot easier process. when looking for a dentist in zip code 57069.
Have you actually used Knutson Family Dentistry DDS? If so please give a detailed review.

Futurlab built their reputation with Coconut Dodge's wonderfully executed mechanics, and it seems this time they really did shoot for the stars. Thankfully, they succeeded completely.
Whatever you expect going in to Velocity for the first time, prepare to have those expectations torn asunder after the first 30 minutes. Velocity has to be one of the most ambitious minis I've ever played, and is a testament to the fine folks at futurlab's ability to take a genre that seems either tired or derivative, and inject enough fresh blood in to it to give it a whole new spin.
In Velocity's case, that centrifuge of delight comes from the game's teleportation mechanics. Note the plural there. Velocity has you bounding around the game's top down map in the most delightful of ways at first, with a hold of the square button producing a cursor steered with the analogue stick, and wherever you release said cursor, you'll appear there. Don't worry about teleporting in to a wall, you can't. Don't worry about hitting a wall either, that doesn't cause you any damage to your craft either. The teleportation mechanic in the game is effectively idiot proof, which is lovely to see. Expect to zip around through the levels as a variety of walls and enemies block your path. Is there a galaga-esque fleet winding around in front of you? Teleport in to the centre and take them around from the outside. Wall of turrets ready to turn your craft into some festive confetti? Teleport behind them, fire a bomb backwards towards them and sing the 1812 overture to yourself. You're free to experiment with how you take out your enemies, and that's something Velocity can be proud of.
The second teleport mechanic is something far more impressive though. You can place a number of teleports around a level, and zip back towards them whenever you feel the need to. Missed a survivor you need to rescue? Go back and grab them. The game will eventually have you activate a number of switches in a set order in some levels, so expect to zip back and forth as you prime all of those and then reap the rewards. Its fast, intuitive and above all fun, with the controls working perfectly for anything you want your nimble little craft to do.
Velocity certainly doesn't slouch on the presentation front either. With great pixel art combined with an astounding soundtrack, the game is an excellent package to look at. Everything has an attention to detail, and there's even a hidden minesweeper clone to play in your ship's computer, along with some unlockable story content, extra crazy missions and all the trimmings you expect from a game filled with such polish. Its wonderful to see such care and attention poured in to every facet of the title.
Velocity is astounding. From the perfectly executed teleportation mechanics to the excellent presentation, it exudes mastery. Futurlab built their reputation with Coconut Dodge's wonderfully executed mechanics, and it seems this time they really did shoot for the stars. Thankfully, they succeeded completely.
A copy of this game was provided by the publisher for review purposes. For more info on our review policy click here. This review is for the PlayStation Portable version of the game.
You guys put this game on my radar months ago. It made me realize minis aren't necessarily inferior. I'm about 25 levels deep and loving it.
P.S. I think you forgot to [edit out]/[decide on] one of the options in your final sentence.
Hi guys,
Thanks so much for the review. Very exciting!

In this photo taken Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2012, at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, travelers David Janesko and Tess Menotti relax between flights next to O'Hare's Urban Garden where fresh herbs are grown and used in airport restaurants. Getting stranded at an airport once meant camping on the floor and enduring hours of boredom in a kind of travel purgatory with nothing to eat but fast food. Tough economic times are helping drive airports to make amends and transform terminals with a bit of bliss: spas, yoga studios, luxury shopping and restaurant menus crafted by celebrity chefs.

Mini Me: Angelina Jolie and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
by POPSUGAR Moms 10
Expectant mama Angelina Jolie spent some quality time with her adorable lil ladies, Zahara, 3 and Shiloh, 2. Outfitted in black, the threesome looked tres chic while taking part in some retail therapy in Monaco.
It was evident that Shiloh has shed her baby days and is growing into her own. And, she's the spitting image of both her mom and pop. Her fair hair and pale eyes are definitely Sugardaddy Brad Pitt's. But, there's no denying that her pouty lips are all Angelina's.
We can't wait until Tinseltown's favorite fam welcomes their new addition.

Z's hair still doesn't looked combed. A lot of kids where their hair out but that doesn't kept! I thought she said she had a black nanny? But Z and Shi are pretty sisters!
Both girls are gorgeous, but I can't believe how stunning Shiloh is. Actually I can believe it, seeing how her parents are so good-looking.
Awww, this is one of the first pictures I have seen of her in a while where she doesn't look like Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

Uterine fibroids, also known as fibroid tumors, leiomyomas, fibromas or myomas, are benign (noncancerous) growths on the uterus. Uterine fibroids occur in 20 to 40 percent of all women older than 35 years of age.
Uterine fibroids are rubbery nodules that begin as irregular cells in the muscular layers of the uterus and grow slowly into tumor-like masses of connective tissue and smooth muscle.
Uterine fibroids may be as small as a pea or the size of a basketball. A woman can have one or many uterine fibroids. The growth of uterine fibroids is unpredictable. They may remain relatively stable or they may increase in size rapidly. Rarely do uterine fibroids become cancerous (less than 0.1 percent).
Uterine fibroids are unlikely to shrink or disappear on their own until after menopause. After menopause, no new uterine fibroids are likely to develop, and those already present usually shrink in size.
There are three (3) main types of uterine fibroids - submucous, intramural and subserous.
1. Submucous uterine fibroids grow just beneath the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium).
2. Intramural uterine fibroids grow within the wall of the uterus.
3. Subserous uterine fibroids grow out from the outer wall of the uterus.
If the fibroid has a stalk (called a pedicle) attached, it is called a pedunculated fibroid. The stalk remains attached to the uterine wall, allowing the tumor to move inside the uterus, the abdominal cavity or into the vagina.
The cause of uterine fibroids is unknown, but some researchers suspect that the tendency to develop uterine fibroids is:
- inherited
- attributed to ethnicity (African-American and women of Jewish descent are three [3] times more likely to develop uterine fibroids than Caucasian women)
- linked to estrogen level - uterine fibroids may increase in size during pregnancy or when using birth control pills (when estrogen levels are high), and decrease in size after menopause when estrogen levels are low.
- prevalent in women with endometriosis - a condition in which fragments of the endometrium are found in other parts of (or on organs within) the pelvic cavity
Uterine fibroids may be totally symptomless or they may cause problems. The majority of women with uterine fibroids (up to 80 percent) have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they may include:
- heavier menstrual flow or menstrual period of longer duration
- increased menstrual cramping
- backache
- irregular or unpredictable bleeding
- lower-abdominal pressure, often described as an achy or heavy feeling or associated with the need to urinate more frequently
- constipation
- abdominal bloating
- infertility
- miscarriage
Symptoms and a pelvic exam are the basis for diagnosing uterine fibroids. If the doctor finds that the uterus is lumpy, enlarged or irregular in shape, they may suspect uterine fibroids, even if the woman displays no symptoms. However, before they begin additional diagnostic tests, the doctor will do a complete blood profile, Pap smear, pregnancy test and an endometrial sampling to rule out other conditions, such as endometrial cancer or pregnancy.
If the woman is having irregular bleeding or her uterus is enlarged, the clinician will probably recommend a dilatation and curettage (D&C) without delay, to be certain that she doesn't have an unrelated malignancy or a simple problem like uterine polyps. A D&C is a procedure in which the endometrium is scraped away.
If uterine fibroids are suspected, the doctor will perform a transvaginal sonogram (ultrasound) to confirm these tumors, their location and size within the uterus.
Most uterine fibroids require no treatment at all. If the uterine fibroids are not causing pain, bleeding or discomfort, many doctors recommend leaving them alone and monitoring them over the years.
Uterine fibroids should be surgically removed if:
- they are causing uncontrollable, abnormally heavy bleeding
- they are too large and causing discomfort
- they are rapidly growing
- the fibroid grows after menopause
- there are difficulties in becoming pregnant
- symptoms of urinary tract compression are present
- the fibroids make it impossible to evaluate the appendages
There are two surgical procedures available to remove uterine fibroids. The procedures are myomectomy (fibroid removal from the uterus) and hysterectomy (uterus removal).
The several different myomectomy techniques include the following:
Vaginal, or hysteroscopic, myomectomy. Performed through the vagina and cervix, this procedure uses an instrument called a resectoscope, which allows surgeons to view the uterine fibroids through a small fiber optic device. The surgeons are able to shave off the fibroid growths using a hot electrified wire. This technique is used on small submucous uterine fibroids.
Laparoscopic myomectomy. A surgeon makes a slit in the navel and inserts a hollow tube and a viewing instrument (called a laparoscope) into the uterus. The doctor then slides a tiny laser or scalpel through the laparoscope, chops up the fibroid and then removes the bits through the laparoscope. This technique is usually reserved for uterine fibroids on the exterior surface of the uterus.
Abdominal myomectomy. Through an incision in the abdomen, the uterine fibroids are removed (using either a scalpel or laser). This procedure is best for very large intramural and subserous uterine fibroids.
Myomectomies are recommended for women who want to preserve their fertility, have had repeated miscarriages, experience infertility problems or want to retain their uterus. Unfortunately, up to 40 percent of women who opt for a myomectomy may require a repeat surgical procedure because the uterine fibroids have grown back.
Hysterectomy, can be performed either vaginally, abdominally or assisted by laparoscopy. There are several different hysterectomy techniques:
Total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH): Removal of the uterus and cervix through an incision in the lower abdomen. The fallopian tubes and ovaries are not removed.
Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAH and BSO): Removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy) and fallopian tubes (salpingectomy) along with the uterus and cervix through an incision in the lower abdomen.
Vaginal hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus and cervix through an incision inside the vagina. The fallopian tubes and ovaries are usually not removed.
Subtotal hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, but not the cervix. The fallopian tubes and ovaries are not removed.
Although a myomectomy or a hysterectomy seem to be the best solution to uterine fibroids, some doctors prescribe gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs. The GnRH analogs, such as leuprolide (Lupron) and nafarelin (Synarel), are effective in stopping heavy bleeding and shrinking uterine fibroids. The drugs shut down estrogen production by turning off pituitary stimulation of the ovaries, but these do so by first boosting production, causing an initial increase in estrogen levels and a worsening of uterine fibroids.
After about a month, ovarian hormone production declines and the estrogen-starved tumors shrink dramatically. This treatment can only be used for a limited time. Within four to six months after stopping the treatment, the uterine fibroids will begin to grow back.
This treatment has been used for premenopausal women, for women who have become anemic due to heavy menstrual flow, for women who do not plan to bear children or before a myomectomy.
Are there any other tests that need to be performed to diagnose uterine fibroids or rule out any other diseases?
If you recommend waiting before electing surgery?
How often will a check up be needed?
Are there any signs or symptoms that I should report immediately?
Do you recommend trying medication first to try and shrink the uterine fibroids?
Do you recommend a D&C? Will it help remove any of the uterine fibroids?
Do you recommend surgery? If so, what procedure will be used? What are the risks or complications? Will all the uterine fibroids be removed? Will they come back and how soon do they usually return? How long is the recovery period?

Circleville Police Chief Wayne Gray, foreground, and detective Phil Roar, next to him, listen as Daniel Harris is arraigned via video hookup from the Pickaway County jail. Harris' niece was killed in a neighborhood brawl last week, and he is charged with aggravated rioting. Also charged is Angel Haines, at right in the monitor.
CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — Daniel Harris was more concerned about his niece's funeral than the fact that he was wearing ill-fitting prison orange and sitting in the Pickaway County jail.
Harris twice yesterday asked Circleville Municipal Judge Gary Dumm to allow him to attend the funeral of Brittany Nicole Jeffers, 21, who died last Thursday after being assaulted during a street brawl.
Dumm granted his request, permitting Harris, 26, and Jeffers' stepsister, Angel Haines, 18, to attend the funeral on Thursday with police escorts.
The judge also set their bonds at $500,000 each on aggravated-riot charges as they were arraigned via a video hookup from the jail.
Four people are charged with contributing to Jeffers' death by fighting at the corner of Washington and Maple streets on Circleville's south side a week ago.
In addition, prosecutors cited Preston Harvey, 16, and Shyia Harvey, 14, on Monday to appear on Pickaway County Juvenile Court this month on delinquency counts of rioting. They are Jeffers' half-brother and half-sister.
Police Chief Wayne Gray said investigators are awaiting the results of Jeffers' autopsy before filing charges in her death. She was declared brain dead about 12 hours after being assaulted. Gray anticipates no other arrests.
Emily Harvey, Jeffers' mother, was upset that Harris and Haines were arrested before her daughter's funeral, arguing that they are not risks to flee. "But I understand that they had to charge them all," Harvey said. "I really do."
Mrs. Harvey's report to police on Monday identifying a neighborhood teenager attempting to break into a house across the street from her home set off the melee in which Jeffers died.
A sister to the burglary suspect began yelling threats, Mrs. Harvey said, triggering a heated argument that lasted several minutes before fighting erupted in front of up to 50 onlookers.
Last week, police arrested four people "on the other side of the argument," Gray said. Circleville residents Nicole Leasure, 37, and Cameron Eby, 20, were charged with aggravated rioting and are being held in lieu of $500,000 bonds.
Brandon Bolin, 17, and Keely Martin, 17, who is Leasure's daughter, were charged with delinquency counts of rioting. They are being held in a juvenile detention center until a court hearing on April 11.

These plans are just a scam for employers to shift healthcare costs onto the backs of the employees. This further erodes the wages earned by every employee.
You obviously know nothing about how HSA plans work. How is it a scam that you, as an individual, get to put aside taxfree money (often matched by your employer) to spend on your health as you see fit? If you don't need it for health expenses it is still yours- not money down the drain. High deductible plans used to be called major medical and this model served very well for a long time- your insurance paid for "major" expenses like surgeries and hospital stays and you paid for doctor visits and other incidental bills out of your pocket. The only reason there could be an objection is if people are too dumb to decide what they should be spending their money on, too undisciplined to save for future expenses, or are so detached from the system that they believe there is an unlimited amount of money for everyone to get as much care as they need regardless of cost. An HSA plan is a great idea to empower people and keep costs down.
Incidentally, it is not your employers' responsibility to pay for ANY health insurance, so your contention that costs are "shifted" onto the backs of employees misses the point entirely. Your health is your responsibility, no one else's.

New Coach
DAMIEN Lyon has played Aussie rules for as long as he can remember.
So when he moved to Boyne Island last year, he sought out BITS Saints.
"I wanted to play footy," Lyon said.
"I've played all my life."
After playing with the team and assisting with coaching last year, Lyon was given the A-grade coaching job this season.
Although he said this would be his first stint in the top job Lyon said he had plenty of experience in the game, playing in both the VFL and QFL and spending one year at Collingwood.
Lyon said he was looking forward to the season during which he hoped to play as well.
As defending premiers Lyon has high hopes.
"Obviously I would like to continue the trend and win another premiership and go three in a row," he said.
All Lyon said he would be asking of the boys was for more consistency this year and to make sure they were all playing for each other.
BITS have been back training for two weeks and Lyon said anyone interested could head down to training at Tannum Sands Surf Club at 6.15pm on a Thursday or the BITS fields at 6.15pm on a Tuesday.
"We just want to get guys down to train," he said.
"If they like it they can stay."

Fears mount of cholera outbreak in Iraq's Basra
By Bassem Husain
Azzaman, June 23, 2012
Residents of Iraq's southern city of Basra say there are fears of a new onslaught of cholera epidemic amid hikes in temperatures, non-availability of drinking water and accumulating mounds of garbage across the city.
Basra medics have acknowledge the existence of a few cholera cases, spreading fears that the deadly disease is a serious matter.
Residents say they cannot trust the authorities about cholera cases. They add cholera incidents must be higher and there is an attempt not tell the truth in order not to cause panic.
Abdulhuasain Kadhem said cholera cases were bound to increase "due to bad weather conditions and power outages."
He said: "Heath authorities are trying to hide the real figures of cholera cases, fearing a backlash."
Saad Radhi said that no one should be surprised to see the epidemic striking Basra.
He said the failure of the authorities to provide electricity and potable water means that their policies are behind the cholera outbreak.
Younis Hashem urged the authorities to launch a campaign to prevent the contagious disease from spreading.
"This not a time to say who is to blame. It is time that all work together to combat cholera and other disease," Hashem added.
Mounds of uncollected garbage dot Basra's streets and neighborhoods, said Abdulhusain Fiyadh.
"There is evidence that Basra Municipality is not doing its job properly," he said.
The health authorities have refused to comment on popular fears of the epidemic might get spread widely apart from saying that they have only detected a few cases and that conditions are under control.

Mill in Winter, 2008
oil on canvas, 16" x 20"
I saw this scene one twilight in a Williamsburg, Massechusetts cemetary. An old mill and a shining puddle framed with trees looking toward the last light of the day. Winter sun is a wonderful thing and with the shortened days it seems that much more prescious. The color of this sunset was so vivid, especially seen in the midst of all of the subdued colors of a Northern December. It took me three Winters to finish this painting after it sat in a good sketched state. Spring would come and my mood to paint Winter would fade before I worked on it. This Winter I finally settled it.

U.S. Senate to Vote on Resolution Blocking EPA's Authority to Regulate Greenhouse Gases
May 26, 2010A bipartisan group of U.S. Senators has introduced a resolution to block implementation of the EPA's regulation of greenhouse gases. According to news reports, the resolution is causing concern among environmental groups and the EPA because of the broad support the resolution is garnering (the resolution has 41 co-sponsors). It is uncertain, however, whether the resolution will have enough votes (51) to pass when it is scheduled to be taken up by the full Senate on June 10.
Below is the actual language of the resolution:
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That Congress disapproves the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to the endangerment finding and the cause or contribute findings for greenhouse gases under section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act (published at 74 Fed. Reg. 66496 (December 15, 2009)), and such rule shall have no force or effect.
Study Reveals Economic Impact of California's Climate Change Law
May 25, 2010The Wisconsin Legislature recently adjourned without passing controversial climate change legislation, dubbed the "Clean Energy Jobs Act" (CEJA). All of the leading business and agriculture groups in Wisconsin believed the legislation would have significantly increased energy costs by forcing Wisconsin utilities to generate 25 percent of their electricity from higher cost renewable energy sources such as wind. Business and agricultural groups also opposed the controversial low carbon fuel standard (LCFS), arguing that it would have reduced the use of Canadian crude oil and disadvantaged corn ethanol, and thus increased the cost of fuel. The groups also pointed to studies that the legislation would have reduced manufacturing jobs due to higher energy costs.
Summary of Bills Relating to Climate Change, Energy, Environment, Air Quality & Water Quality
Hamilton Consulting is actively preparing for the upcoming legislative session while working on the implementation of previous legislation by state and federal agencies. Below is a summary of our past legislative concerns.
May 2010
The Wisconsin State Legislature adjourned its biennial session on April 22, 2010. Energy and environmental issues were front and center this session. The largest piece of legislation, the global warming bill (SB 450/AB 649), dominated the discussion during the last months of session. The legislation, however, ultimately failed to pass.
Although the climate change bill received most of the attention, numerous other bills were introduced, and a few notable bills eventually passed and were signed into law.
The summary below lists the various bills that dealt with climate change, energy, environment, and water quality and their final status.
Climate Change/Energy/Air Quality
AB 75 (Budget Bill – Air Permit Fees): Increases minor operating permit fees from $35.71 per ton to $300 per year for facilities with less than 80 tons per year, and $4,100 for federally enforceable state operating permits with allowable emissions greater than 80 tons per year.
- Final Status: AB 75 signed into law as 2009 Wis. Act 28.
AB 256/SB 185 (Wind Siting): Creating statewide standards through the PSC for wind sites, etc.
- Final Status: SB 185 signed into law as Act 40.
SB 273/AB 401 (Direct-Use Renewable Energy): Gives the Public Service Commission the authority to promulgate rules to allow Wisconsin utilities to use direct-use renewable energy to create renewable resource credits to meet the Act 141 RPS. Renewable resource credits would be created based on the amount of electricity displaced by the renewable energy resources, including direct solar applications such as solar water heating and solar light pipe technology, direct-use geothermal applications and other direct-use renewable energy resources. Language was added by amendment which adds electricity generated from fuel pellets, plasma gasification and synthetic gas to count toward the RPS.
- Final Status: SB 273 signed into law as Act 406.
SB 279 (Biofuels): Financial assistance related to bioenergy feedstocks; biorefineries, conversion to biomass energy; definition of agricultural use for determining assessed value; requires strategic bioenergy assessment; study of regulatory burdens related to biofuel production facilities; etc.
- Final Status: SB 279 signed into law as Act 401.
AB 600 (Fuel Rules): Legislation introduced to streamline the fuel cost recovery process in Wisconsin; required promulgation of administrative rules.
- Final Status: AB 600 signed into law as Act 403.
SB 479/AB 689 (Citizens Utility Board (CUB) Funds): Requires the PSC to provide $300,000 in annual grants to CUB, a utility intervenor group. The grants must be used to offset the general expenses of the corporation, including salary, benefit, rent, and utility expenses. In addition, the bill increases the appropriation to cover the grants, and changes the appropriation from an annual to a biennial appropriation.
- Final Status: AB 689 signed into law as Act 383.
SB 615/AB 857 (Transmission Technical Bill): Among other things, this bill specifies that "within the area" in ch. 196.491 (4) (c) 1 is 60' from the centerline of an existing transmission facility. The purpose of this provision is to maximize the use of existing R.O.W. and avoid triggering a CPCN requirement, while removing any ambiguity in the statute regarding the definition of "within the area".
- Final Status: AB 857 signed into law as Act 378.
AB 749 (Tax Credit for Equipment used to Harvest Woody Biomass): Creates an income and franchise tax credit in an amount equal to 10 percent of the amount that a taxpayer pays in a taxable year for equipment used exclusively to harvest or process woody biomass that is used as fuel or as a component of fuel.
- Final Status: AB 749 signed into law as Act 269.
AB 904/ SB 651 ("Green to Gold Program"): A Doyle initiative announced in his 2010 State of the State Address, this bill creates a Department of Commerce loan program for manufacturers to improve energy efficiency, re-tool manufacturing facilities to produce items for the green economy, establish or expand domestic clean energy manufacturing and train workers in these activities. The bill also requires prevailing wage to be applied to these activities, applies loan repayments under current programs to be re-directed to fund green to gold, in addition to federal ARRA funds, requires Focus on Energy programs to apply to green to gold programs, as well as utility-directed conservation and efficiency programs and requires utility programs to comply with green to gold program standards and coordination between PSC and Commerce.
- Final Status: SB 651 signed into law as Act 332.
SB 450/AB 649 (Global Warming): Legislation introduced to implement the Governor's Task Force on Global Warming. Required a 25% RPS by 2025, energy efficiency and conservation efforts resulting in 2% reductions in electric load and 1% in gas load by 2015, mandatory advanced renewable tariffs, revising the nuclear moratorium, in-state sales requirements, etc., GHG emission reductions of up to 75% by 2050, in-state RPS production requirements, truck idling restrictions, changes to the definition of biomass, lifting the 60Mw cap on hydro but with administrative restrictions, and numerous other changes.
- Final Status: Though the bill was scheduled for action in the Assembly on the second-to-last day and for the Assembly calendar on the final day, it is believed that AB 649 was at least 9 votes short of passage in the Assembly. DEAD.
AB 843 (Energy Conservation): Creates requirements regarding energy conservation standards for the construction of certain buildings, energy and environmental design standards for state buildings, structures, and facilities, energy and environmental design standards for school district facilities and other local government buildings, leasing of state buildings, structures, and facilities, standards for the construction and use of graywater systems.
- Final Status: DEAD
AB 876 (Residential Energy Efficiency): Expands the authority of political subdivisions to make residential energy efficiency improvement loans, and authorizes political subdivisions to make water efficiency improvement loans and impose special charges for the loans.
- Final Status: DEAD
AB 755 (Sustainable Jobs Act – Energy Efficiency programs): This bill creates a voluntary revolving loan program that allows utilities and municipalities to finance homeowners' energy improvements and allows them to be repaid via installment on their property tax bills. The bill also authorizes energy utilities to capitalize wide-scale energy retrofits at Wisconsin's commercial and industrial businesses. It requires prevailing wage standards for weatherization contractors, creates cultural competency requirements, and requires that a percentage of all of the weatherization work is done by local, unemployed or low-income workers. Utilities could earn a rate of return on energy efficiency efforts and REC's would be created on energy saved.
- Final Status: DEAD
AB 309 (Nuclear Waste Payments): Requires annual payments to local governments by utilities for the dry cask storage of spent nuclear fuel.
- Final Status: DEAD
SB 340 / AB 516 (Nuclear Moratorium): Repeals two requirements in current law that prohibit PSCW from issuing a CPCN for a nuclear power plant, including that 1) a spent fuel repository with capacity for all state waste be available; and 2) that construction of a nuclear plant be economically advantageous to ratepayers.
- Final Status: DEAD
AB 88 (Biomass Definition):Would allow garbage incineration to be included in satisfying the Act 141 RPS.
- Final Status: DEAD
AB 794 (Tax Credits for Biomass): Creates a nonrefundable individual income tax credit, and a corporate income and franchise tax credit, for the purchase of a thermal biomass heating system (system) and a similar nonrefundable credit for the purchase of biomass fuel for such a system.
- Final Status: DEAD
SB 512 (DA's Public Benefits): This legislation would repeal early, the provisions in the state budget that require utilities to collect money from ratepayers to pay District Attorney salaries. 2009 Act 28, the state budget, requires utilities to impose a new fee of about 24¢ per month. Revenue from the fee, about $9.2 million annually, pays District Attorney salaries and benefits. The fee is scheduled to sunset on June 30, 2011 but, if on June 30, 2010 the balance in the general fund exceeds the ending balance estimated by the legislature when it passed the budget, then any amount over that up to $9.2 million would be used to end the Act 28 utility surcharge early.
- Final Status: DEAD
AB 3 (Restrictions on Sale of Phosphorus): Prohibits the sale, distribution and display of fertilizer containing phosphorus under most circumstances. Provides exceptions for starter lawns, agriculture, and cases where certified soil testing shows phosphorus deficiency.
- Final Status: AB 3 signed into law as Act 9.
SB 200/AB 299 (Mercury Products): Regulates the sale of items containing mercury, including thermometers, manometers, switches, thermostats, relays and household items, etc. to keep elemental mercury from entering the environment. Amendments were adopted which exempt utilities.
- Final Status: SB 200 signed into law as Act 44.
AB 258 (Waste oil filters and oil absorbent materials disposal): This bill, as amended, prohibits the land-filling of used oil filters and oil-absorbent materials. A coalition of members sought an amendment to exempt oil absorbent materials but the authors were unwilling to consider this change. Absorbant materials used in an oil spill will now be required to be recyclable oil absorbent material or non recyclable material will need to be landfilled out of state.
- Final Status: The bill was signed by the Governor as Act 86.
AB 138 (DNR Secretary): The bill essentially restores appointment authority of the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources to the Natural Resources Board, rather than the Governor.
- Final Status: The Governor vetoed the bill on November 13, 2009. The Assembly attempted to override the Governor's veto on February 23 but the motion failed. DEAD.
Water Quality
AB 75 (Budget Bill – Water Fees): Creates a new statewide annual fee of $125 for high capacity wells and fees (to be determined by rule) within Great Lakes Basin for withdrawals exceeding 50 million gallons per year.
- Status: AB 75 signed into law as Act 28.
SB 620/AB 844 (Groundwater Regulation): Expands current groundwater regulations: places moratorium on high capacity wells in "groundwater management areas" and "groundwater attention areas"; allows citizens to petition DNR for more stringent environmental review for high capacity well permits; changes definition of a spring from 1.0 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 0.25 cfs flow, triggering higher level regulatory scrutiny for new well permit.
- Final Status: DEAD
Obama Administration to Announce New Vehicle Mileage Standards for Large Trucks; Extend Efficiency Standards for Cars
May 21, 2010President Barack Obama will announce today a proposal that will require large trucks to increase fuel efficiency. According to TheHill.com:
Gov. Doyle Signs Bill Expanding Renewable Resource Credits for Electric Providers
May 20, 2010Gov. Jim Doyle signed into law yesterday SB 273 (2009 WI Act 406), which creates a new type of credit under Wisconsin's current renewable energy law.
Under current law, electric utilities must provide a certain percentage of their electricity from renewable energy (10 percent by 2015). An electric provider may create credits if it sells more electricity derived from renewable energy in a year than required. Those credits can be banked to comply with the RPS requirements in the future or be sold in an intrastate credit trading market.
Court Dismisses Challenges to Air Emissions Construction Permit for Coal-Fired Power Plant
May 18, 2010The Wisconsin Court of Appeals, Dist. IV last week issued a decision rejecting three out of four challenges by the Sierra Club to an air pollution permit for the construction of a coal-fired power plant in Weston, Wisconsin.
In its appeal, the Sierra Club challenged a lower court's decision affirming the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) "best available technology" (BACT) determinations for the air emissions construction permit.
Kerry-Lieberman Climate Change Bill Unveiled
May 17, 2010U.S. Senators John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) introduced last week their much anticipated climate change legislation. Dubbed the "American Power Act," the sweeping legislation covers 987 pages. To view a summary of the bill, click here.
EPA Publishes Final Rule Regulating Greenhouse Gases
May 17, 2010The EPA issued last week its final rule - known as the "tailoring rule" - which sets the thresholds for greenhouse gas permitting requirements for stationary sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Study Casts Doubt on EPA's Plan to Increase Ethanol Limit
May 5, 2010ANew York Times article discusses a new study that finds that a proposed plan by the EPA to allow an increase in the amount of ethanol mixed into gasoline from 10 percent to 15 percent would damage cars and increase pollution.
According to the article:
- Half of the engines tested so far have had some problems, said C. Coleman Jones, the biofuel implementation manager at General Motors, who spoke on behalf of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers
- More ethanol will confuse exhaust control systems and make engines run too hot, destroying catalytic converters, automakers say. It can also damage engine cylinders, they say.
The article also notes that higher ethanol content will likely produce more nitrogen oxides, an ingredient of smog.

I'm so glad you reviewed the track record of the charter schools, especially in BR. At the beginning of your blog you looked at the whole picture of the RSD school experiment, which also identifies failure. It is beyond my comprehension that John White and Bobby Jindal and their loyal supporters can even think the reforms and plans that have passed will be successful. They are just dreaming at the taxpayers' expense and the children's educations.

AP Photo One of the convenient excuses that was used by the Allied powers for not bombing the rail lines to Auschwitz at the height of the Nazi Final Solution was that they were unaware of what was going on behind the fences and walls of the concentration camp. During the ensuing 60 years, numerous researchers have produced sufficient documents to demonstrate that there had been enough reports, including eyewitness evidence, for a true picture to emerge and that, had they wanted, the Allied powers could have used their air forces to take action.

Wiffle balls and batting cages are great, but there's no substitute for actually being on the dirt doing the real thing.
Hampered by a conspiracy between basketball and Mother Nature that has kept Galax indoors most of the young season, the Maroon Tide dropped its season opener Wednesday, falling 9-3 to Alleghany, N.C., in a nondistrict game at Mountain View Park.
Alleghany was playing its fourth game, while Galax has been outside fewer than five times altogether in coach Verl Brown's estimation.
Those who didn't get a chance to see any of the top five girls' basketball players in Region IV shouldn't worry too much. All five of them will be back.
Three juniors, including Carroll County's Kayla Goins, and two sophomores headed up the first-team all-region squad, while in Region C boys' voting, Galax's Cameron Frazier was a first-team pick.
HILLSVILLE — Could the federal stimulus package finance more revitalization work downtown and across Hillsville?
Town Manager Larry South added several entries to the Virginia stimulus database Web site and registered Hillsville with its federal counterpart, after being encouraged to do so by Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Abingdon).
Two suggestions for the funds, which are meant to create jobs through infrastructure projects, relate directly to the downtown area.
HILLSVILLE — Increased oversight of volunteers and volunteer agencies will likely result from two decisions made by the Carroll supervisors at the March 9 board meeting.
The supervisors considered two policy recommendations from the Emergency Services Board that included suspending volunteers from service when accused of crimes and requiring each fire and rescue squad to have a financial audit.
Jesus stood for love
In 1604, King James I of England initiated the process for a new interpretation of the Christian Bible, primarily to consolidate the ecclesiology and orthodoxy of the Church of England under royal control.
He gathered 47 scholars (notably, all members of the Church of England), and seven years later they published what has become known as the King James version of the Bible.
It's a fine line to walk between appeasing those who want Grayson County to remain a rural community of vast farm land and open fields, and those wanting the county to bring new businesses in.
For the past five months, three developers have fought against some vocal members of the Fox Knob community while trying to get approval to bring a 252-site recreational park to Grayson.
Last week, the Grayson board of supervisors approved that permit, and in the bigger picture, it makes sense.
John Nunn of Galax remembers hearing about a drug store located at the old First National Bank in Galax. The owners kept ice in the basement that they chiseled away from the New River in the winter and used it to cool Coca-Colas — back when Coke was made with cocaine.
In the 1950s, Nunn recalls that Galax had more manufacturers than any other town, and there were more people working here than lived here, he said.
Amidst the rejoicing, Tuesday's historic inauguration brought back memories of a long struggle for the black community in Galax.
Alfreda Robinson and Wilma Kyle remember when they were not allowed to attend prom, couldn't swim in the community pool and had to sit in the balcony during movies at the Rex Theater in downtown Galax.
Carrie Robinson recalls having to gather and carry coal to the pot-belly stove that heated the elementary school and having to use outdoor restrooms.
The national credit crunch has idled some construction crews around the Twin Counties, according to a count of permits issued by local building officials' offices.
In Carroll County alone for 2008, new housing starts fell by more than a quarter from the year before.
From January to mid-December of this year, the number of building permits issued totaled 98, paperwork from the building official's office shows. That same construction category amounted to 169 for 2007.
That's a decline of 42 percent.
It's just not like the good old days when times were stress-free.
Kids spent their time on the farm chasing fireflies, playing hide-and-seek, milking cows and riding horses; and at school, kids played jump rope and tag.
Now all that's left is memories — Pat Robinson's inspiration for pencil drawings of country settings.
