Question: U.S. to slap tariffs soon on steel, aluminum from EU: sources

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will announce plans to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum from the European Union as early as Thursday morning, two people briefed on the matter said, confirming a report in the Wall Street Journal.

The decision would land ahead of a Friday expiration deadline for exemptions to the planned metals tariffs amid stalled trade talks with the EU and would likely prompt retaliation from the bloc.
The two sources said an announcement was planned for Thursday morning in Washington but that the timing could still change.
The U.S. Commerce Department and U.S. Trade Representative’s Office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
President Donald Trump on March 23 imposed a 25 percent tariff on steel imports and a 10 percent tariff on aluminum, but granted temporary exemptions to the EU, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Argentina.
Trump invoked a 1962 trade law to erect protections for U.S. steel and aluminum producers on national security grounds, amid a worldwide glut of both metals that is largely blamed on excess production in China.
The European Commission, which coordinates trade policy for the 28 EU members, has said the bloc should be permanently exempted from the tariffs since it was not the cause of overcapacity in steel and aluminum.
The Commission has said the EU will set duties on 2.8 billion euros ($3.4 billion) of U.S. exports, including peanut butter and denim jeans, if its metals exports to the United States worth 6.4 billion euros ($7.5 billion) are subject to tariffs.
The tariffs, which have increased friction with U.S. trading partners worldwide and prompted several challenges before the World Trade Organization, are aimed at allowing the U.S. steel and aluminum industries to increase their capacity utilization rates above 80 percent for the first time in years.
Economists say the standoff with the EU could tip toward a trade war, particularly after Trump last week launched another national security investigation into car and truck imports that could lead to new U.S. tariffs.
The Trump administration has given permanent metals tariff exemptions to several countries including Australia, Argentina and South Korea, but in each case set import quotas.
Friday’s deadline for exemptions also affects Mexico and Canada, which are in contentious negotiations with the United States on the North American Free Trade Agreement that Trump has said he wants to revamp, or abandon if the talks fail.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese trade minister Hiroshige Seko said on Tuesday that there was a high possibility Japan would be exempted from U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminium on per-item basis.

Seko said he was aware Japanese steel makers and others were encouraging their U.S. clients to apply for exemptions. He added that Japanese steel and aluminium products contributed greatly to U.S. industry and that they were irreplaceable.
U.S. President Donald Trump pressed ahead earlier this month with import tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent for aluminium but exempted Canada and Mexico and offered the possibility of excluding other allies.

April 24 (UPI) -- The California Highway Patrol gave a police escort to a family of geese found walking across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
CHP's San Francisco-area station tweeted a video of a patrol cruiser giving an escort to the geese as they walked on the shoulder of the bridge toward Treasure Island.
The CHP said Trainee Officer Torres and Field Training Officer Ratto escorted the geese for several miles to make sure they made it to the other side of the bridge safely.
The highway patrol said the escort made for a "feel good Earth Day story."

Question: Video shows dog lock teeth onto New York City subway rider’s foot

Please enable Javascript to watch this video
NEW YORK – It was a chaotic scene aboard a New York City subway train after a dog locked its jaws onto a rider's foot in a video that surfaced on Instagram Monday.
People on the train can be heard screaming in distress while the dog’s owner struggles to control the animal.
“Get him off of me!” the subway rider yells.
When and where the video was recorded is still not clear.
Video of the incident was posted Monday morning on the popular Instagram feed @SubwayCreatures and quickly went viral.
A spokesperson for the MTA confirmed to WPIX that the agency is aware of the incident, calling it “disturbing” and “a clear violation of our rules.”
MTA rules say: “No person may bring any animal on or into any conveyance or facility unless enclosed in a container and carried in a manner which would not annoy other passengers.”
It’s a rule some dog owners have been accused of taking advantage of, placing oversized dogs in duffle bags. Photos of massive dogs in tiny carriers commonly make the rounds on social media.
While details remain scarce, it’s unclear what led to the incident.
The dog's owner can be heard in the video saying, “she attacked him first.”
“OK – but just get the dog away from her,” another subway rider says.
According to the MTA, video of the incident has been flagged for the NYPD to investigate.
The agency is still trying to figure out when and where it took place, according to WPIX.
The rule of keeping animals in carriers does not apply to “service dogs” like law enforcement K9s and dogs assisting those with disabilities. Therapy dogs and emotional support dogs are not recognized as “service dogs” under the MTA’s rules and regulations.

Question: In South Florida, green iguanas spread into suburban scourge

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla. (AP)  Perched in trees and scampering down sidewalks, green iguanas have become so common across South Florida that many see them not as exotic invaders, but as reptilian squirrels.
Native to Central and South America, green iguanas that escaped or were dumped as pets have been breeding in the Miami suburbs and the Keys for at least a decade without making headlines like other voracious invasive reptiles such as Burmese pythons or black-and-white tegu lizards.
They've been considered mostly harmless because they eat plants instead of native animals. But their burrows undermine seawalls, sidewalks and levees, and they eat their way through valuable landscaping as well as native plants. Their droppings can be a significant cleanup problem, as well as a potential source of salmonella bacteria, which causes food poisoning.
Compared with elusive pythons in the Everglades, iguanas are easy to spot. They can grow to more than 5 feet long, and they like what draws people to Florida: nice landscaping, waterfront views, swimming pools and sunbathing.

One iguana even stopped a first-round tennis match at this year's Miami Open by crawling over a scoreboard onto the court. German player Tommy Haas snapped a selfie with it, but his Czech opponent Jiri Vesely complained to the umpire that he couldn't concentrate. An ATP Tour video shows the umpire telling Vesely, "It's not a dangerous animal."
Trapper Brian Wood easily caught three iguanas one recent afternoon, each roughly 3 feet long, basking on a condominium's seawall in the resort community of Sunny Isles Beach. Using a long fishing pole, he looped wire around their necks, reeled them in, and placed them in a narrow metal cage.
Janet Sarno, board chairwoman at King's Point Imperial Condo, hired Wood because the number of iguanas  big adults and bright green babies  hanging around the building's pool has been growing despite residents' attempts to chase them away or block their entry.
"Maybe 10 years ago, you might see one or two on the seawall. Now there's 20 at a time coming out. There's just too much," she said.
The iguanas burrow under the seawall and first-floor patios, climb trees to reach second-floor balconies and eat the bright blooms off recently planted bougainvillea, Sarno said.
"They just come and they eat, they dig ... they're in the pool," Sarno said. "Lately, there's crap all over. It's terrible."
Wood primarily hunts alligators and tans their skins for luxury leather goods, but he's received so many calls from homeowners seeking help with iguanas in the last several years that he created a pest control business called Iguana Catchers.
He wants to breed the iguanas he catches to sell hatchlings as pets in northern states with cold winters. In the meantime, he euthanizes them and sells their meat as a delicacy. He's also trying to generate interest in iguana skins as a sustainable leather source, alongside alligator and python skins available in his Hollywood store.
"They're like rats, they're always going to be here," Wood said. "I think it's going to be a growing business."
Not much threatens adult iguanas here except cars and cold weather, which has kept them from spreading farther north. Prolonged cold snaps in 2009 and 2010 killed off many of them  news stations showed frigid iguanas stiffly falling from trees  but the population rebounded. Scientists say development has only increased their preferred habitat.
The damage, cleanup and health concerns associated with iguanas, as well as their dramatic population growth, has prompted state officials to start thinking about management strategies.
"Calls from residents about iguanas have increased, which pushed us to address them this year," said Sarah Funck, non-native species program coordinator for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
In the Florida Keys, iguanas ate up the host plant for the endangered Miami blue butterfly in Bahia Honda State Park. Nearly 600 iguanas have been removed from the park in the last two fiscal years, according to Florida's Department of Environmental Protection, but the quarter-sized butterflies haven't returned.
State officials worry their digging may exacerbate long-term ecological damage if their burrows destabilize water restoration projects or flood-control structures near the Everglades. The South Florida Water Management District has reinforced some canal banks in Palm Beach County to prevent damage from burrowing iguanas, said Rory Feeney, the district's land resources bureau chief.
"Burrowing in these levees, particularly around structures, can cause hydraulic eddies and can increase erosion to our system," Feeney said.
Florida wants to protect its smaller native lizards and keep green iguanas from becoming as big a pest as they have become in the Caribbean. In the Cayman Islands, researchers have confirmed with DNA evidence that green iguanas have hybridized with native iguanas.
On Grand Cayman, the adult green iguana population grew from 127,660 in 2014 to more than 400,000 last year, according to Jane Haakonsson, a researcher with the terrestrial resources unit of the Cayman Islands' environment department. An experimental hunt in July on the 22-mile-long island netted nearly 14,500 iguanas  16 tons of carcasses  hardly enough to control them.
"Everyone is complaining about it. Everyone has issues with their pools and their gardens, and on the roads they're being run over all the time," Haakonsson said. "A lot of the hatchings being born are surviving. What we're doing is not stopping them."

Question: Mohamed Hadid Denies Date Rape Allegations Made by Model

Mohamed Hadid is denying claims that he date raped a model in an apartment.
Earlier this week, model Miranda Vee took to Instagram where she shared new claims of sexual harassment.
"I met with Paul [Marciano] at his @guess headquarters that is actually an apartment where he sexually harassed me & after that passed me on to his friend Mohamed who was going to meet me for 'coffee.' I thought it was a professional meeting but it was just me, him & champagne where he date raped me in an apartment," Miranda claimed on social media. "All to get a test shoot for GUESS. LAST year when I tried to speak out about it, they found out & made me sign a NON-disclosure agreement & I only agreed to sign because Paul threatened me & said he would get me disappeared if I ever say anything. #TIMESUP."
She added, "Why should we have to stay quiet because they have the power? #METOO."
After hearing Miranda's claims, Mohamed's attorney slammed the allegations and said his client is "completely innocent."

Question: Dry January? Get AlcoSense and don’t lose your licence in February!

DRINK-DRIVING is never a good idea, and you would hope most motorists are now well enough educated to know that they shouldn’t do it, but what about the morning after?
It’s a trap many fall into, having had a good night out, or a glass of vino or two at home, and then driving the next morning and finding themselves still over the prescribed drink-driving limit – when it’s too late! AlsoSense says 17.8% of drivers are caught over the limit the morning after.
The consequences of getting caught are, in most cases, a year’s driving ban and a huge fine, followed by increased insurance costs – something most drivers would find incredibly inconvenient and costly. The ramifications can be even worse – you could lose your job, and then your home because you can’t pay your mortgage, or you could cause an accident that involves other people. It’s simply not worth it.
AlcoSense produce a range of personal breathalysers which allow users to test themselves the morning after they have had a drink – before they get behind the wheel.
While Christmas is the most commonly perceived time for drink-drivers and the focus of many national campaigns over the years, many people now commit to a dry January to rid themselves of the Christmas excesses. But as we get into February and people allow themselves a few drinks again, investing in your own personal breathalyser could just save your licence – and avoid a potentially nasty accident.
The potentially dangerous ‘morning after drinking’ driving habits may be an under-acknowledged risk area. If this includes driving for a living, or ferrying children around, a personal breathalyser could be a life-saver for themselves and other road users.
AlcoSense is one of the leading brands in personal breathalysers and the ultimate personal breathalyser in the AlcoSense range is the AlcoSense Ultra, SSP £249.99, with more features than any other device in the range, and we’ve been putting one to the test.
It comes in an impressive box, and a generous supply of blow tubes and is quick and easy to set up. It also has its own little carrying case so it’s easy to keep your breathalyzer and blow-tubes together in your glovebox or door pocket.
The AlcoSense Ultra uses exactly the same professional 200mm2 fuel cell alcohol sensor as several UK, US & European Police breathalysers, taking accuracy, features and ease of use to a new level and is the culmination of three years of research and development.
The Ultra uses a professional grade sampling system to ensure that only deep lung air (the most accurate part of the breath) is measured by the sensor. It also uses additional professional grade sensors to measure the blow pressure, flow rate and volume of breath exhaled and takes a reading when one litre of air has been exhaled ensuring that the most accurate sample is always taken. To improve accuracy even further, readings are fine-tuned according to temperature.
Its patented Blow Coach feature helps you to blow into it correctly. If you get it wrong, the Ultra diagnoses why the test failed and gives you tailored tips so that you can quickly get it right next time. Importantly, the AlcoSense Ultra has some clever software to eliminate under-reading by reading a little on the safe side. There is also protection from sensor saturation e.g. if you perform your breath test shortly after drinking when alcohol is still present in the mouth.
The AlcoSense Ultra features a full colour 1.8 inch (48mm) screen which gives you clear traffic light coloured screens with detailed readings of your alcohol level in both blood or breath readings. The Ultra not only alerts you NOT to drive if you’re close to or over your chosen limit, it will even calculate how long it will take until you’re sober and set an alarm to re-test you again later. And it will store 128 of your personal results in its on-board memory with date and time stamps, using bespoke AlcoSense software. This is downloadable onto your PC giving you a record of your results.
All European and several worldwide drink-drive limits are pre-set on the Ultra so it’s easy to use on any cross-border road trip year round. Should a limit change, the unit can be updated through a software download from AlcoSense. You can even pre-set your own self-imposed limit lower than the country you are in.
And finally, the Ultra features a backlit blow tube receptor so it’s easy to use on dark mornings, evenings or at dusk. The mouthpieces feature a one-way valve to eliminate contamination from previous tests for ultimate accuracy.
“Even one alcoholic drink can slow your reaction time, inhibit judgement, reduce concentration and affect motor skills such as eye, foot and hand co-ordination – increasing the likelihood of an accident,” says Hunter Abbott, the managing director of AlcoSense and member of PACTS, transport safety advisers to Parliament.
AlcoSense offers a re-calibration service by post using Police spec Breath Alcohol Simulators for your Ultra on an annual basis. The Ultra will automatically alert you to this check after 11 months and, after posting to the company, will be back with you within five working days.
The AlcoSense Ultra is manufactured under ISO13485 conditions, the benchmark in medical device quality systems.
For more information on the AlcoSense range, visit the website www.alsosense.co.uk.

Question: Calgary's news comes in many languages these days

In northeast Calgary, multicultural media is everywhere — if you're looking and listening.
You'll see it on racks in Punjabi grocery stores in Castleridge, blasting from car stereos in Saddle Ridge and on TVs all over Taradale. Now more than ever, you can scroll and stream it on the screens of phones and devices all over the city's northeast and beyond.
The city is home to ethnic radio stations and shows, newspapers, TV programming and online sources, all aimed at established immigrants and newcomers from around the world, who now call Calgary home.
Red 106.7 FM, which stands for Reflecting Ethnic Diversity, just celebrated five years of broadcasting from the city's northeast.
"We are the lifeline of the South Asian community, especially [for those] from Pakistan, Indian, Fiji and Nepal," said Rishi Nagar, Red FM's morning show radio host and news director.
"Those from those countries understand Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. All these languages are from the same root."

Listeners can hear up to 20 different languages on that station alone. Its core audience includes Pakistani and Indian people but the station also caters to Filipino, Vietnamese, Arab, Afghan, Russian and Croatian communities in Calgary, to name just a few.
The station also livestreams on Facebook and YouTube.
Many people in the northeast and other communities do check in with local English mainstream media, Nagar said, but news in particular is always better understood and digested in your own language.
"We provide so much information: political, economic, social, business-related news," he said.
"In my show, we have a special 20 minute segment of Indian news and we've hired a reporter in India itself, and we also have a segment of Pakistan news with a reporter based in Pakistan."
The station provides the comfort and ease of being able to access news, music and information in a given language for many newcomers to the city. When a person arrives in a new and unfamiliar place, accessing information in an understandable way can be crucial.
"We are 411 for them. They call us for information about the women's shelter, or the seniors home or medical services," Nagar said.
"Sometimes newcomers and newcomer organizations even visit our office. We can give them information on how to get their SIN card, health card and driving licence."
Mainstream local media in Calgary have limitations as to how they cover news from diverse ethnic communities, he said, and can't come close to matching the role diverse local media play.
'People miss their home language'
Red FM's radiothons also raise huge amounts of money for local communities and organizations in Calgary and Alberta. One event raised nearly $1 million in a day.
"Along with speaking and learning English, people miss their home language," said Gurpreet Kaur, another host at Red FM.
She said that's why the Canadian Radio-televison and Telecommunications Commission encourages radio stations to broadcast in so many languages.
"We've become the bridge," she said. "Organizations come on my show and talk about how they can help Canadian women, immigrant women, how they help families, how they help to improve their language skills, how they can help build their resumes."
'Don't want people to miss out'
Her station covers everything from health and diet advice to domestic violence and addressing regressive cultural issues. It also tackles issues of the day, such as the Trans Mountain pipeline debate, and all in Punjabi, of course.
"To be a progressive society, we have to be part of where we live. We don't want people to miss out on any information," Kaur said.
"We live in Calgary we should know what's happening in Calgary, what our city council is deciding on and how that affects us, like the 2026 Winter Olympic bid."
Kaur said Calgary's two Punjabi-speaking city councillors, George Chahal and Jyoti Gondek, help give listeners an opportunity to hear about issues directly in their own language. Both have been Red FM guests.

Newspapers still play a big role in Calgary's diverse communities too, with English and diverse-language publications aimed at Calgary's South Asian communities a common sight at stores and on the street in the city's northeast.
Harbans Buttar is editor-in-chief of Punjabi Akhbaar, or Punjabi News, a free bi-weekly newspaper serving Calgary's Indian communities. The paper also publishes in Edmonton and Saskatchewan.
"A lot of people only understand Punjabi. They watch CBC at home and when they see a guy in a turban on the TV, they call me and say, 'What happened?'" Buttar said with a laugh. "So we translate the news and I put it in my newspaper."

He also livestreams local news on Facebook.
Mainstream media in Canada could do more, he said, to translate some local stories into different languages.
"When we go to the bank, Superstore, Walmart, there's usually Punjabi salespeople or staff working there," he said. "When I go to a store and they don't understand what I need, then how can they sell me something?"
Media experts agree there's definitely space for more foreign-language content in Calgary — and Canada — with some English-language media already experimenting with the concept, albeit on a tiny scale and sporadically.
"Mainstream media can broaden their reach. They can get impatient with foreign languages but I do think there's more room for that sort of thing," said Brad Clark, broadcast and journalism chair at Calgary's Mount Royal University.
Although it sits at the opposite end of the spectrum, Clark points to the CBC's Hockey Night in Punjabi as one example of a big, foreign-language success story on a mainstream network.
"Your language becomes kind of a touchstone. Some of it is about being informed and finding out what's going on in the world and some of it is the comfort of being ensconced in your own culture and linguistic culture," said Clark.
"When it's a challenge to find media content from your own culture and language, then those other options outside of mainstream media become all the more valuable. And I think it only makes sense that we'll see more and more of that in the future."

‘It’s just sort of mind-blowing’: NDP questions government grants-in-lieu cuts
The Saskatchewan government’s decision to strip $33 million in grants from more than 100 cities and towns while preserving funds earmarked for rural municipalities reflects its “profound” hostility to the interests of larger centres, according to the Saskatchewan NDP. The Sask. Party did not display a “principled approach” when it cut grants in lieu of taxes paid by SaskPower, SaskEnergy and TransGas but not SaskTel, the only major Crown corporation to pay RMs, said Opposition House Leader Warren McCall.

After more than half a decade of persistently low vacancy rates and correspondingly high prices, Saskatoon landlords are abandoning rental incentives and instead slashing prices in an effort to keep buildings occupied. The change is likely a response to the city’s vacancy rate, which hovered around three per cent between 2010 and 2014 before shooting up to about 10 per cent in 2015 and as high as 18 per cent last year, according to Kent Nicholson of Colliers International.

Track coach Reindl running back to Saskatoon

We are going to have a garden this year. It will be just outside my house in the field of calf-deep mud that I trek through to get to my truck each morning. I like the idea of growing my own food; it appeals to me as a cheap person. No more lifting bags of potatoes in the grocery store, trying to figure out which weighs slightly more.

Question: SME exporters hit by Brexit could get low-cost loans

Low-cost loans to be made available to SME exporters under a new Government plan could be significantly cheaper than anything currently available on the market.
If the loans are priced at a similar rate to funding available to farmers under a special scheme announced in the last budget, the interest cost could be about 3 per cent. At present the average cost of SME loans in Ireland is over 6.5 per cent, more than twice the euro zone average.
According to Fergal O’Brien, chief economist at Ibec, the cost of credit “is a significant competitiveness challenge for Irish SMEs, and measures to support lower-cost loans would support those firms likely to be most affected by Brexit”.
Minister for Finance Michael Noonan said recently that the Government had applied to the European Commission for State aid clearance for a scheme which would be available to SME exporters hit in the run-up to Brexit and after Brexit takes place.
Similar rate
He said the loans would be similar to €150 million of funding recently made available via the State-owned Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI) to farmers. This funding is made available through AIB, Bank of Ireland and Ulster bank at a rate of 2.95 per cent.
If a similar rate is made available to SMEs it will be well below rates of 5 per cent typically available on SBCI funding, or higher rates available on normal commercial transactions.
Mr Noonan told an Oireachtas committee last week that outline approval was being sought from the commission, which must approve any such special lending.
While details are not yet known, sources believe that the loans are likely to be made available to companies hit by sterling weakness in the run-up to Brexit. The loans may thus be made available to certain sectors, or to SMEs located in certain regions of the country likely to be worst affected.
Tariff barriers
A study by the Department of Finance, published last year, said that rural parts of the country – and particularly the Border region – were likely to be worst affected by Brexit, particularly if it led to the erection of customs controls and tariff barriers.
The farming scheme is designed to help farmers hit by cashflow problems due to price and income volatility. It provides cheaper solutions than those available on the market, and this is also likely to be the focus of any scheme for SMEs.
The SBCI has some special funding from a European scheme aimed at SMEs, which is used for the farming scheme and could be used for the new funding programme. The loans are made available for up to six years, mainly as working capital support.

Question: New offshore wind farm project will dwarf nation's 1st one

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - A Rhode Island company is going to build a wind farm that will be 10 times the size of the nation's first offshore wind farm.
Deepwater Wind says the new 400-megawatt wind farm will also create more than 800 jobs and result in $250 million in investments in Rhode Island.
Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo and other officials visited the Port of Providence on Wednesday for the announcement.
Massachusetts and Rhode Island announced offshore wind projects last week aimed at delivering a combined 1,200 megawatts of energy, enough to power about 600,000 homes.
Deepwater Wind also built the nation's first offshore wind farm off Block Island, Rhode Island. It has five turbines. With this latest project, the company plans to build up to 50 turbines south of Martha's Vineyard.
"It is an enormous clean energy machine," Deepwater Wind CEO Jeff Grybowski said. "It will displace about 650,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. It is one of the most consequential clean energy projects in the history of the northeast United States. And we're going to build it and deliver that at low cost."
Grybowski said he couldn't say exactly what the price of the energy will be because Deepwater Wind must negotiate a contract with utility company National Grid. He said it would be competitive with traditional sources of fuel and a "game changer" in replacing those sources.
The company says it will take about 800 people and roughly $1 billion to build the wind farm. Another 50 permanent jobs will be created.
The $250 million investment in Rhode Island includes $40 million in port infrastructure improvements to position the state for future offshore wind projects.
Raimondo called it a fantastic day for Rhode Island because of the amount of clean energy that will be produced and the number jobs created. She said Rhode Island can be an epicenter for the offshore wind industry. She said she thinks some of the companies that make turbines will eventually move to the state.
"This is big. This is about as big as it gets," she said.
Deepwater Wind didn't ask for tax credits for the project, called Revolution Wind.
Both the Rhode Island and Massachusetts wind farms, which the states describe as a collaborative effort, will be located south of Martha's Vineyard. The Vineyard Wind project will be Massachusetts' first offshore wind farm.
Local construction on the Revolution Wind project could start in Rhode Island in 2020 with commercial operations by 2023. The turbines are expected to generate enough energy to power more than 200,000 homes, or about half the homes in Rhode Island.
The wind farm will be in a 256-square-mile federal lease area. Deepwater Wind plans to build 15 turbines in that same area to supply renewable energy to Long Island, New York.

ORONO, Maine — Maine’s floating wind power advocates are sounding the alarm over legislation that would push a two-turbine test site farther away from Monhegan Island, saying that the shift would sink the decade-long push to draw power from the untapped Gulf of Maine winds.
The bill, introduced by Sen. Dana Dow, R-Lincoln, would bar wind turbines within 10 miles of Monhegan Island.
“If we had to move this site now, everything is gone — the investments disappear,” said Habib Dagher, director of the University of Maine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center.
Over the past decade, that center has monitored wind and wave data, bird flight patterns, fishing grounds and more in trying to choose a temporary site for two 6-megawatt wind turbines, each about 520 feet tall. Working with fishermen and state environmental officials, the center ultimately opted for the Monhegan site and got to work on permitting and approvals.
The approvals process is expected to wrap up later this year, with construction on the turbines’ concrete hulls starting in the spring of 2018. The hulls would be built in Hampden before being towed down the Penobscot River to Searsport, where the towers, turbines and rotors would be added. By the fall of 2019, the hulls would be hauled through Penobscot Bay and installed.
But none of this will happen if Dow’s bill becomes law, Dagher said.
The Energy Utilities and Technology Committee is expected to hold a hearing on the bill and the university will be among the groups testifying in opposition, according to Jake Ward, UMaine’s vice president for innovation and economic development.
If the test site moves farther out into the Gulf of Maine, the research and data collected over years at Monhegan would become useless. Also, anything farther than 3 miles off the island becomes federal jurisdiction, and would require an entirely new approval process that could take up to five more years.
Such a delay would likely scare away investors, according to the university. The relocation also would eliminate UMaine’s shot at a $40 million Department of Energy grant to see the test project through. UMaine needs to have the turbines hooked up to the grid by 2019 in order to be eligible for that money.
The test site plans have met resistance from some of Monhegan’s 65 year round residents, summer residents and visitors. Some have speculated that the university might try to make the test site a permanent one, but organizers insist that isn’t true and that state statutes wouldn’t allow it to happen. State law only allows for short extensions to the test phase. A group of residents recently raised $40,000 to try to drive the test site away.
The Monhegan site is a trial run for a much larger floating wind farm in a yet-to-be-determined part of the Gulf of Maine at least 10 miles from shore and inhabited islands.
In 2008, the Maine Ocean Energy Task Force set the goal of producing 5 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030 — roughly the amount produced by five nuclear power plants. Maine currently uses about 2.4 gigawatts of electricity each year, meaning the state could export some of the energy produced by offshore wind turbines.
“We’re at the cusp. We can almost feel the opportunity in front of us,” Dagher said.
“This is a project that could transform the future of our state and make us a worldwide leader in this emerging industry,” he added.
Many European nations already are delving into offshore wind development, though in most instances those turbines are in shallower waters and sit on pylons driven into the seabed. A Danish developer recently won a bid to build two large wind farms off the coast of Germany without any government subsidy, according to the New York Times. That news has been lauded as a signal that commercial offshore wind farms can be competitive with other energy sources.
In the wake of its Fukushima nuclear power disaster, Japan is putting its own floating turbines in the water.

Question: Firm Behind 'Fearless Girl' Statue Underpaid Female, Black Execs, U.S. Says

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

The State Street Corporation, a financial services company that put the "Fearless Girl" statue on Wall Street to promote the importance of women working in corporate leadership roles, will pay $5 million after an investigation found that it underpaid female and black executives.
The company denies any wrongdoing, but will pay as part of a settlement with the Department of Labor. Law360 reported on the payout earlier this week, and Bloomberg posted the text of the conciliation agreement online.
The Department of Labor investigation found "statistically significant" differences in the pay given women and men in leadership roles at the firm, as well as between the compensation of black and white employees. The differences persisted when the investigators accounted for "legitimate factors," the Department of Labor says.
A spokeswoman for the company tells NPR the investigation, which began in 2012, examined executive pay at the company's Boston headquarters in 2010 and 2011. In an official statement, the company says it "disagreed with" the findings of the investigation but "made a decision to bring this six-year-old matter to resolution and move forward."
State Street is "committed to equal pay practices," the company's statement continued.
State Street Corporation commissioned the Fearless Girl statue on Wall Street in honor of International Women's Day this year.
The "confident young" girl is staring down the famous Charging Bull statue — much to the chagrin of Arturo Di Modica, that statue's sculptor, who says it unacceptably alters the meaning of his work.
The statuary stand-off gained a new participant for a few hours this spring, when a small pug statue lifted its leg beside the Fearless Girl's foot.
After installing the statue, State Street said the piece of art sent a "powerful message." "[O]ur goal was to raise awareness and drive a conversation around the need to improve gender diversity in corporate leadership roles," the company wrote. It also shared advice on how to increase the representation of women on corporate boards.
The statue had a mixed reaction from the start.
In March, NPR's Rose Friedman reported that some people were charmed by it, but others — like economist Sylvia Ann Hewlett — had fundamental objections. Hewlett didn't criticize State Street itself; she called it more progressive than many of its competitors. But the statue ...
"Please don't depict American womanhood as a cute 9-year-old," Hewlett told Rose. "The choice of portraying the fierce female as someone who is immature, as someone who hasn't tangled with the world, is a little bit of a travesty."

Question: Oldest nuke plant in the US closing a year ahead of schedule

LACEY TOWNSHIP, N.J. >> The oldest nuclear power plant in the United States will shut down in October, more than a year ahead of schedule.
Chicago-based Exelon Generation says the Oyster Creek plant in Lacey Township, New Jersey, will close this fall. It had a deadline of Dec. 31, 2019, under an agreement with state authorities.
The company says it is becoming too costly to operate the plant amid low power prices. In a release announcing the early shutdown, Exelon said the new timetable will help it “better manage resources as fuel and maintenance costs continue to rise amid historically low power prices.”
Bryan Hanson, Exelon’s president and chief nuclear officer, said the company will offer jobs to all 500 Oyster Creek workers elsewhere in the company.
“I want to thank the thousands of men and women who helped operate Oyster Creek Generating Station safely for the past half-century, providing generations of New Jersey families and businesses with clean, reliable electricity,” he said. “We thank our neighbors for the privilege of allowing us to serve New Jersey for almost 50 years.”
Oyster Creek went online Dec. 1, 1969, the same day as the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Generating Station near Oswego, New York.
But Oyster Creek’s original license was granted first, making it the oldest of the nation’s commercial nuclear reactors that are still operating.
The company reached a deal with New Jersey’s Republican Gov. Chris Christie in 2010 to shut the plant down 10 years earlier than normal in return for not having to build costly cooling towers at the plant site in the Forked River section of Lacey Township, near the Jersey shore.
Environmentalists have long faulted the warmer-than-normal water that exits from the plant with harming or killing marine life in the fragile Barnegat Bay. The company says it has taken many costly steps to protect the environment and operate the plant safely.
“It should have closed a long time ago,” said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “This is the oldest nuclear plant in the country and it’s falling apart. It leaks radioactive tritium, has problems with storage, and erosion with containment vessels, among other issues. This plant was a disaster waiting to happen, so it’s vital for our coast that it’s closing early. This plant is a dinosaur and it’s good that’s its going extinct.”
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission granted Oyster Creek a new 20-year license in April 2009, rejecting criticism from a coalition of residents and environmental groups that the plant was too old and degraded to operate safely for another two decades.

The opposition centered on corrosion to the plant’s drywell shield, a metal enclosure that keeps superheated radioactive steam within a containment building around the reactor.
The NRC, which governs the industry, had determined the shield is safe despite previous water leaks that caused rust to eat away parts of it.
Exelon had applied a strong coating material to the liner and removed a sand bed at the base of the reactor that was found to hold moisture.
Oyster Creek’s design — a boiling-water reactor — is considered obsolete by today’s standards.

Platform Holly, a prominent oil and gas platform two miles off the Santa Barbara County coast, will be shut down and dismantled, state officials said Monday, the first offshore oil platform in California to be removed since 1996. In a decision that was cheered by environmentalists, a Colorado oil company announced Monday that it will quit its interests in a prominent offshore oil platform off California, making it the first offshore platform to be removed from California's coast in more than 20 years.

Question: Site C dam project to miss river diversion deadline

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

B.C. Hydro contractors have run into “geotechnical and construction challenges” that mean the Site C dam project will not be able to make its target of diverting the Peace River in the summer of 2019.
B.C. Hydro president Chris O’Riley confirmed the delay in a letter to the B.C. Utilities Commission, estimating an extra cost of $610 million that brings the total estimate to $8.9 billion for the most expensive construction project in B.C. history.
O’Riley said there is enough money in the project’s contingency fund for the cost, and a “one-year float” in the project schedule means it can still be completed as scheduled by November 2024. Other risks remain, including a road realignment to avoid evicting the last two holdout farming couples who live on the narrow riverside land and have already been paid in an expropriation to make way for the dam.
“Due to the project’s complexity, we expect to continue to face risks in other areas, including our second largest procurement (i.e. the generating station and spillway) that remains open and the highway realignment,” O’Riley wrote. “We will work to mitigate those challenges.”
The project is undergoing a review by the commission on the orders of Premier John Horgan, who made it a prominent issue during his years as NDP opposition leader. Under a tight deadline of Nov. 1 to make recommendations to the B.C. cabinet, the commission has already noted that Site C has been drawing heavily on contingency funds to deal with a tension crack in the riverbank and other issues.
Energy Minister Michelle Mungall said the delay is not a result of the NDP government’s review, ordered after former B.C. Hydro CEO Jessica Macdonald was fired this summer. The new government has commissioned reports on the cost of delaying or abandoning the project, which O’Riley says should continue after two years of work and nearly $2 billion spent.
“Despite the challenges we have encountered and the risks that remain, our analysis continues to confirm that completing Site C as planned is still the most cost-effective option for our customers,” O’Riley said. “Suspending or terminating and finding the power we need from other sources – which carries its own set of uncertainties – would cost billions more than completing Site C.”

Per a new public poll issued by the Angus Reid Institute, Canadians are split right down the middle when it comes to the federal government’s decision to purchase the proposed TransMountain pipeline project. (Black Press files)
Twinning the B.C. section of the Trans Mountain pipeline will begin in the North Thompson by this fall, the company says in its latest six-month work schedule filed to the National Energy Board.
Work is underway along the entire line from Edmonton to Burnaby to set up temporary construction yards and camps with worker accommodation and construction offices, as well as pipe stockpile sites in Valemount, Blue River, Clearwater, Merritt and Hope.
Work is scheduled to begin in September to clear and survey a 120 km section of pipeline route between Mt. Robson Provincial Park and Blue River, connecting to a longer section between Edmonton and Jasper National Park in Alberta.
Work includes wildlife surveys, weed control and relocation of rare plants to comply with the 157 conditions required by the NEB and a further 37 conditions in the B.C. government’s environmental certificate. Despite federal and provincial approvals and what the company calls “unprecedented scrutiny,” the project continues to be dogged by orchestrated protests.

Spending on the project has resumed after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced in May the federal government is buying the project assets for $4.5 billion, to ensure the twinning of the 65-year-old pipeline that delivers synthetic heavy crude and refined fuels from the Alberta oil sands to B.C. and Washington state refineries.
Kinder Morgan Canada negotiated the sale after setting a deadline of late May to have assurances that the project would proceed without interference from the B.C. government.
Work continues this summer on expansion of the Sumas terminal at Abbotsford, Burnaby terminal and Westridge marine terminal, which includes a tunnel through a portion of Burnaby Mountain.

Question: Not all details in GOP memo help undercut Mueller probe

Steele's opposition research effort was initially funded by the conservative Washington Free Beacon. It was later picked up by the Clinton campaign and the DNC through a Washington law firm
The FBI this week expressed "grave concerns" about the memo and called it inaccurate and incomplete. Democrats called it a set of cherry-picked claims aimed at smearing law enforcement and said its release will do long-term damage to the law enforcement and intelligence communities.
For one thing, Democrats say, it's misleading to say a judge was not told of the potential political motivations of the people paying for Steele's research.
Beyond that, though, the memo confirms the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign began in July 2016 — months before the surveillance warrant was even sought — and was "triggered" by information concerning a different campaign aide, George Papadopoulos. Papadopoulos pleaded guilty last year to lying to the FBI and is co-operating with Mueller's investigation.
The timing makes clear that other Trump associates beyond Page, who was part of the election effort for only a short period and was not in the president's inner orbit, had generated law enforcement scrutiny. The memo also omits that Page had been on the FBI's radar just a few years earlier as part of a separate counterintelligence investigation into Russian influence.
Though the memo focuses on Page, intelligence committee Democrats wrote in a response, "this ignores the inconvenient fact that the investigation did not begin with, or arise from Christopher Steele or the dossier, and that the investigation would persist on the basis of wholly independent evidence had Christopher Steele never entered the picture."
Other details in the memo could also challenge Republican claims of bias. The warrant requested in October 2016 was subsequently renewed on three additional occasions, meaning that judges approved it four times. And one of the Justice Department officials who approved it was Rosenstein, a Trump appointee.
Trump, who lambasted the FBI and Justice Department on Twitter, was asked later in the day if he was more likely to fire Rosenstein and if he still had confidence in him. The president simply said, "You figure that one out."
Though the document had been classified, since it deals with warrants obtained from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the White House declassified it Friday and sent it to Nunes for immediate release.
The disclosure of the document is extraordinary since it involves details about surveillance of Americans, national security information the government regards as among its most highly classified. Its release is likely to further escalate an intra-government conflict that has divided the White House and Trump's hand-picked law enforcement leaders.
Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray had personally lobbied against the memo's disclosure, arguing it could set a dangerous precedent.
The memo's release also comes amid an ongoing effort by Trump and congressional Republicans to discredit Mueller's investigation, which focuses not only on whether the Trump campaign co-ordinated with Russia but also on whether the president sought to obstruct justice.

President Donald Trump said Saturday the memo released by the House Intelligence Committee on Friday has vindicated him and proved that the special counsel's ongoing Russia investigation is an "American disgrace."
In a tweet posted Saturday morning, Trump continued his attacks against his own FBI and Justice Department for its ongoing investigation into potential collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
"This memo totally vindicates 'Trump' in probe," the president tweeted. "But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on."
This memo totally vindicates “Trump” in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2018
Trump's tweet appeared to support contentions made by Democrats like Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, that the memo's release was merely a partisan attempt to undermine the Russia investigation.
On Saturday, Schiff responded to Trump's tweet by claiming that — far from vindicating the president — the memo in fact proved "quite the opposite."
"The most important fact disclosed in this otherwise shoddy memo was that FBI investigation began July 2016 with your adviser, Papadopoulous, who was secretly discussing stolen Clinton emails with the Russians," Schiff tweeted.
Quite the opposite, Mr. President.

On Friday, after more than a week of speculation and partisan infighting, the White House declassified a memo written by staffers of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), the chair of the House Intelligence committee.

House Republicans have touted the memo as proof that the premise of the Russia investigation is flawed. The memo argues that the FBI mislead the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court about the basis for its application to eavesdrop on Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
Related: No, the GOP's public war with the FBI is no normal
The memo states that the decision to spy on Page was based on a "dossier" written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, who Republicans claim had an overt anti-Trump bias.
But after analyzing the 4-page document, many political analysts noted that the memo does not shed light on what role, if any, the dossier played in the special counsel's inquiry. Others note that Page came under surveillance in October 2016, after the Russia investigation was well under way.

Question: That Game of Thrones Hack Seems to Be Getting Worse

represent the article to find a fitting news title

Forget "winter is coming." Winter may already be here for HBO. It looks like the cyber security incident affecting the "Game of Thrones" network may be getting a lot worse.
The person — or group — who claimed last week to have hacked HBO has now released what appears to be a trove of stolen information — and the network has called in the FBI for help.
Those documents are said to include "Game of Thrones" scripts, personal emails that belong to an HBO executive, and other proprietary information, according to reports.

"HBO believed that further leaks might emerge from this cyber incident when we confirmed it last week. As we said, the forensic review is ongoing," an HBO representative told NBC News. "While it has been reported that a number of emails have been made public, the review to date has not given us a reason to believe that our e-mail system as a whole has been compromised."

The apparent hacker or hackers, who go by the name "Mr. Smith," also released a video addressing HBO Chairman and CEO Richard Plepler, demanding the company pay a ransom in order to stop further leaks, according to the Associated Press.
NBC News has not seen the alleged video. However, in it, the hackers reportedly ask for their "six-month salary" to be paid in Bitcoin — implying that the figure would be around $6 million.
HBO has not commented on the scope of the breach nor the specifics of what was stolen.
Last week, material that had yet to air from "Ballers" and "Room 104" was apparently leaked online, according to reports. Various reports claim the hackers have 1.5 terabytes of data. For some perspective, 1 TB can hold an estimated 500 hours worth of movies, according to a ballpark estimate from PC Ninja.
Mr. Smith also reportedly claims HBO is its 17th target — and that only three others have failed to pay.
The FBI does not support paying ransom to criminals and has, in previous instances, made the point that there is no guarantee a victim's proprietary information would be returned. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center — also known as IC3 — collects reports about internet-facilitated crimes.
"Paying a ransom emboldens the adversary to target other victims for profit, and could provide incentive for other criminals to engage in similar illicit activities for financial gain," the FBI wrote in a bulletin last year.
However, the decision is ultimately up to the victim. The FBI said "it recognizes executives, when faced with inoperability issues, will evaluate all options to protect their shareholders, employees, and customers."
HBO's statement said the company's team is working "around the clock with outside cyber security firms and law enforcement to resolve the incident. Meanwhile, our dedicated employees continue to focus on delivering the high quality of entertainment and service for which we are known."
The hacking nightmare — just the latest in a string of incidents that have shaken Hollywood — unfolded last week, prompting Plepler to break the news to employees in an email on July 31.
“Any intrusion of this nature is obviously disruptive, unsettling, and disturbing for all of us. I can assure you that senior leadership and our extraordinary technology team, along with outside experts, are working round the clock to protect our collective interests," he wrote.
Despite it all, some "Game of Thrones" fans are vowing not to look at the leaked materials.
Screw you "Mr.Smith," I'll wait for HBO to release GOT #GameOfThrones #hbohack — John Butler (@butlerbssp) August 8, 2017
Netflix fell victim to hackers earlier this year when some episodes of "Orange Is the New Black" were leaked prior to the series' June release date.
As far as entertainment industry hacks go, Sony suffered the biggest one yet in 2014 when thieves leaked personal information and email exchanges, some of which were between actors and executives. The hack was apparently prompted by the satirical film "The Interview," in which a news crew scores an interview with Kim Jong Un — and is asked by the CIA to assassinate him.
However, sometimes an alleged hack isn't quite what it seems. Some hackers have been known to overstate their claims. Earlier this year, Disney was the target of a hoax, in which hackers claimed to have a copy of the newest "Pirates of the Caribbean" film in their possession.
