Deltona do you want our city
to grow retail shoppers
OR
Engineers and Scientists?

I am a parent and business owner in Deltona Florida who has been a loyal Penny's shopper as long as I can remember. I am a fully capable adult who has a 2 Penny's within 30 minutes of my home. I grew up in your catalog stores and really like your online store.

I have never seen a need to boycott a company and it saddens me that I might have to organize my friends and family against a company that I grew up respecting and patronizing.

Please be a responsible corporate citizen and understand that as a country WE MUST begin our transition to alternative energy and unfortunately your company is in the middle of a power struggle between clueless developers and our children's future.

This land is a premium and I understand the corporate need for profits can sometimes override our children's needs(Just look at Deltona city leadership) but I beg you to reconsider your decision to pave over our hopes for an alternative energy engineering science center here in the heart of Central Florida.

If your corporate shareholders want to continue with your plans anyway please make sure to use the best and greenest building standards and make this store your greenest ever.

I hope this note finds you well. Me, I am a little worried about the state of my city/county at this point.

While in Washington DC I learned volumes about how my governments works, and doesn't work, so maybe our elected officials need a refresher on our democracy. I don't have time to teach them, but in essence in works like this.

Thanks for the copy of this bill. Did you see in Sec. 2102(5)(A) in Subtitle A the weasel words, "based on their level of development"? That means that if China claims a low level of development (believable), they could increase their emissions of greenhouse gases in a way that would offset any decreases by, say, the U.S. Not very effective, I think:

"(A) require binding mitigation commitments from all major emitting countries based on their level of development

Hi Herb
I understand your concern but the baby boomers embraced this most favored communist nation and now they are crying that the commies are poisoning our kids with lead, skewing their currency, buying up OUR debt and polluting the earth. Gee they couldn't see that coming, idiots. Political pressure is already causing China to get it sh*t together, coupled with the Olympics and it's gross air problem China's ability to weasel has been diminished considerably. They could probably figure out a way to make solar panels that Deltona residents could afford without government injected funds of course they will use the cheapest communist labor available.

Go Red! Should be the battle cry of the Yuppy's. When we were racing the USSR to the moon we didn't let them stop us because of what they might do or not do in the future.

Besides my main concern at this point is peak oil and the major changes to our economy that my kids will be facing if we do not get our sh*t together NOW.

I believe that the adults that had electronic calculators and computers as preschoolers will help the baby boomer generation learn that life is about more then being afraid (duck and cover kids) and sick games (Cowboys and Indians) it is about OUR future NOT theirs.

P.S.-China is well on its way to acquiring fully 15 percent of its energy from renewable sources by the year 2020, while the United States is dragging its feet on transitioning away from fossil fuels

Sens. Dorgan, Bingaman lead "surprise" proposal

Florida Power & Light Co. has gone to court, filing 582 pages of documents, in an unprecedented effort to bounce an outgoing state board commissioner off its case.

In filings Wednesday with the 1st District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee, FPL asked that Florida Public Service Commissioner Nathan Skop be barred from having input into any FPL issues.

FPL asserts that Skop has become hostile and adversarial toward the utility since he was not recommended for reappointment to the board in June, and that he cannot rule fairly on FPL matters.

In June, Skop said the failure of the nominating council to interview him showed that “FPL owns state government,” and that the decision not to interview him was “retaliation” and “payback” for his having voted to reject a $1.2 billion rate increase the company sought.

In January, FPL was granted a $75.5 million rate increase

Barry Richard, a Tallahassee attorney representing FPL, petitioned the court to require Skop to rule on FPL’s motion to disqualify him. Richard is also asking the court to bar Skop from participating in any FPL issues until the outcome is decided.

Richard said he knows of no similar action ever taken against a PSC member.

Skop, who holds an MBA, is an engineer and a lawyer. He was employed by a subsidiary of FPL’s parent company from 2000 to 2002, when he was terminated as part of a companywide staff reduction. In 2006, Skop was appointed to the PSC for a term that ends Jan. 1.

During the remaining months of Skop’s term, many major FPL issues - including its storm-hardening plan, rate case settlement and proposed energy-saving programs for customers - are scheduled to come before the PSC.

On Sept. 2, FPL asked Skop to disqualify himself from all FPL issues. But at a hearing Tuesday, Skop refused to do so. He participated in a discussion and was on the losing side of a vote on FPL’s successful request to charge customers $31 million in nuclear development costs.

Skop, who could not be reached for comment Wednesday, has said he is doing his job. He has hammered away at FPL during recent hearings. He sought a full-fledged hearing on the nuclear costs, citing a consultant’s report that stated the company provided the PSC outdated cost estimates.

“I will not be intimidated. I have no intention of backing down,” Skop said at an Aug. 26 hearing.

At that hearing, Skop also said he was tired of what he called FPL’s “selective disclosure, spin and withholding of facts.” He accused an FPL witness of “perjury” in a past proceeding.

FPL spokesman Mark Bubriski said it’s not known when the court might rule

VFW Wants Veterans Corporation Shut Down
To: POLITICAL EDITORS
Contact: Kathryn Seck of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, +1-202-224-5175

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is calling on Congress to stop appropriating federal funding for the Veterans Business Development Corporation, which is better known as The Veterans Corporation, or TVC.

According to the bipartisan report
by committee chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.) and ranking member Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), TVC
failed to establish and maintain veterans business resource centers, it didn't become self-sufficient as required, and the use of federal funding for executive compensation and questionable expenditures was deemed unacceptable.

Landrieu, Snowe Highlight Key Small Business Provisions of Economic Recovery Package

I thank the Senator from Maine
and look forward to having a very strong partnership
with her in the months ahead.

Is there any further business?

Ms. SNOWE. Mr. President, one other issue that is critical,
which Senator Landrieu and I both share, is that of
elevating the Small Business Administration to Cabinet-level status.
As I have said before, this will underscore the critical role that small businesses play in our economy. I know Chair Landrieu shares and supports such an initiative. It is long overdue and unquestionably should be done.

We should elevate the status of the agency to give it the prominence and profile it deserves
on behalf of the men and women of our
Nation's small business community.
There should be far more focus upon the role that they can serve in not only our domestic marketplace, but the global marketplace as well.

I will continue to call for the elevation of this critical position.
I have advocated it for years.
In light of where we are today in the economy, and the increase in unemployment, it is even more imperative that we increase the prominence of small businesses in the President's cabinet because, again, doing so will provide the attention and resources they require to survive and be prosperous.

Ms. LANDRIEU. Mr. President, I agree with the Senator from Maine. I was happy to join with her in a letter to the President urging him to take this step.
Hopefully, he will consider that request and give it every consideration.

— ANECDOTE FROM THE RECORDS OF THE FEDERAL CONVENTION OF 1787, ED., MAX FARRAND, VOL. 3, APPENDIX A, 1911

WASHINGTON - The Senate on Tuesday approved new rules for government eavesdropping on phone calls and e-mails, giving the White House much of the latitude it wanted and granting legal immunity to telecommunications companies that helped in the snooping after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The bill would give retroactive protection to companies that acted without court permission.

The House did not include the immunity provision in a similar bill it passed last year. House Republicans now want to adopt the Senate bill, which would avoid contentious negotiations to work out differences between the competing legislation.

About 40 lawsuits have been filed against telecom companies by people alleging violations of wiretapping and privacy laws.

Bush promised to veto any new surveillance bill that did not protect the companies

On the way to passage, the Senate rejected by a vote of 67-31 a move to strip away a grant of retroactive legal immunity for the companies. It also rejected two amendments that sought to water down the immunity provision.

One of the amendments, co-sponsored by Republican Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, would have substituted the government for the telecom companies in lawsuits, allowing the court cases to go forward but shifting the cost and burden of defending the program.

The other, pushed by California Democrat Dianne Feinstein, would have given a secret court that oversees government surveillance inside the United States the power to dismiss lawsuits if it found that the companies acted in good faith and on the request of the president or attorney general.

Under current law, the government can wiretap or search the possessions of anyone outside the United States — even a soldier serving overseas — without court permission if it believes the person may be a foreign agent.

"You don't lose your rights when you leave American soil," Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said in an interview. Wyden wrote the provision into the bill when it was still being considered by the Senate Intelligence Committee.

"In the digital age, an American's rights shouldn't depend on their physical geography."

The auction will continue for as long as the bidding remains active, which could be for several weeks or longer.

WASHINGTON - The two largest cell phone companies dominated bidding in a record-setting government airwaves auction, according to results released Thursday.AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless combined to account for $16 billion of the $19.6 billion bid in the auction, an Associated Press analysis of Federal Communications Commission data shows. Verizon Wireless bid $9.4 billion and AT&T $6.6 billion.

The results raised concern that the auction failed to attract any significant new competitors to the cellular telephone market to challenge the dominant companies. For example, Google Inc. was not among the winners, meaning the search engine giant will not be entering the wireless business.

Ben Scott, policy director of Free Press, an advocacy group that supports greater access to communications services, said the auction failed in that regard because Verizon Communications Inc. already is a dominant provider of Internet access.

"The prospect of a genuine third pipe competitor in the wireless world is now slim to none," he said.

Until Thursday, the names of the bidders were kept anonymous in an effort to discourage collusion during the auction.

Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. and British telecom giant Vodafone Group PLC, won nearly every license in the consumer-friendly "C block."
