Coconut Malls stalled Shy Guys are fixed with a new Mario Kart 8 DLC
Published by Lindsey Huston at Fri, 05 Aug 2022 at 11:26:43 | Category: Games
The second wave of Mario Kart 8 Deluxes Booster Course Pass downloadable content is now available, including eight new tracks, including one that is (technically) brand-new: Sky-High Sundae. However, Mario Kart 8 enthusiasts will be pleased to hear about another update, this time to Coconut Mall.
Coconut Mall, a track that originally appeared in Mario Kart Wii, was made available in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe earlier this year with the release of Wave 1 of the Switch games Booster Course Pass. Around the end of the course, a group of cars that previously would be completely stationary would now be moving again, and the Shy Guys behind the wheel will occasionally donuts.
Here's a peek at that Nintendo proudly promoted change on Twitter, and how Pink Gold Peach is being completely ruined by it:
Coconut Mall is up to date on pic.twitter.com/WXiQhOCLSL.
Shy Guys, the stunt-driving kids now pose a serious threat to Mario Kart players, which will most likely surprise and delight and also destroy some leads. Don't tell your friends.
The Mario Kart 8 Deluxes Booster Course Pass promises a total of 48 fresh Mario Kart courses, including the original Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart Tour. However, Nintendo has also planned for a few surprises during the implementation of the Booster Course Pass, which is expected to last until 2023, along with four additional DLC changes.
The Booster Course Pass costs $24.99, and Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass members will have access to all 48 courses as part of their subscription.

Why The Future of Loyalty Is Not A Loyalty Program

Ninety percent of all sentiment on social media around loyalty programs is negative, according to a recent CapGemini study. Combine that reality with the fact that most households are in 15+ legacy loyalty programs already and the tectonic shifts in how consumers are shopping and purchasing today, and it's clear every company must rethink customer loyalty.

Call it "Circular Commerce" not Omnichannel Retail
Omnichannel. Omnichannel. Omnichannel. It's the buzzword of the retail industry right now. But one woman, Andrea Weiss, co-founder of The O Alliance, says we should "stop thinking about omnichannel, and think about circular commerce." That quote comes from this article.

Good. God on Our Side (A Leo Cooper book) by Moynihan, Michael, 1983-05-31.
Good in Good jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Slightly annotated.
Fine in fine jacket. First printing. Fine in bright, crisp, price clipped dust jacket. Hardcover. 230 pp. by the end of World War I, there were over 3700 padres (nearly half of them Anglicans) serving with the British forces. Little has been written about them but this book contains six first-hand accounts that provide views of the activities of these men, sometimes in the thick of the fighting in places such and Gallipoli and the Seige of Kut.


Inclusion of other formal sources of lending to the same customer segment – such as NGO-MFIs, Cooperative banks, Commercial Banks through the Self-Help Group (SHG) Model, and also the Business Correspondent (BC) model-nearly doubles the size of the MFI industry.
While a number of experts had predicted that the AP Ordinance would bring about the end of the microfinance market in India, the sector has actually emerged out of the crisis with a huge amount of credibility. There is growing optimism surrounding the sector given the radical realignment of India's financial sector under the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). RBI has encouraged the expansion of players offering financial services and has therefore opened up the financial sector to new market players i.e. microfinance.
Regulation around microfinance is now much clearer than before the Andhra Crisis and there seems to be a decided thrust from the Central Government also in support of the sector. The awarding of a Universal Banking Licence to an MFI and Small Finance Banking Licences to 8 MFIs is further proof of the confidence that the regulatory and governing authority places in MFIs as optimal delivery models for dissemination of financial services.
The sector has seen a significant return of both debt and capital funding. Indian MFIs have taken significant steps towards strengthening their operations and reducing costs while maintaining portfolio quality. Investors' concerns on over-leveraging by microfinance borrowers have been allayed by the setting up of credit bureaus.
Over the last year, Indian MFIs have also emerged as effective financial intermediaries offering a viable alternative to the financially excluded.They have demonstrated commendable scale, sustainability and impact. Indian MFIs have taken significant steps toward strengthening their operations and reducing costs while maintaining portfolio quality with focus on expansion and diversification of geographical risk.Many MFIs have also diversified away from being "monoline" companies and have started partnering with third party services providers for offering both asset and liability products to their client base.The sector has witnessed many more equity deals this FY in addition to other landmark debt and capital market deals.
Funding to MFIs has grown by 40% in Q1 of FY 15-16 compared to Q1 of FY 14-15. Major PSU banks have re-entered the fray and are enhancing exposure significantly. Equity deals have also gained momentum in the FY with most large and mid-sized players raising large sums of equity.
An additional impetus from the regulatory perspective has been provided by the formation of the MUDRA Ltd, currently a subsidiary of Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and registered as an NBFC. In the interim, MUDRA is expected to act as a refinance agency to provide access to affordable money to MFIs such that the cost of funds to the microfinance borrower is consequently reduced. In addition refinance facilities available from National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) and SIDBI are also helping MFIs access low cost funds.
IFMR Capital works very closely with high quality Originators in the sector – our partner base comprises of 32 MFIs as of October 2015, with a combined AUM of INR 210 billion. All of these Originators have developed standardised processes and systems, focusing on clean governance and transparency in origination practices and reported stable operations-evidenced through financial indicators and portfolio quality. Our underwriting guidelines cover three aspects namely governance, management &operations and financial indicators.
IFMR Capital works with these partners by offering a slew of capital markets products. The "invest and arrange" model adopted by IFMR Capital by virtue of which any MFI taken to the capital markets is first taken exposure to by IFMR Capital's balance sheet has been instrumental in boosting investor confidence in the sector. In the last financial year IFMR Capital arranged close to INR 3,500 crore of funding to its partners. All of the partners that IFMR Capital works with have emerged strongly since the AP crisis, many of them having been nascent at the time with the support provided by IFMR Capital proving essential in their growth phase.
IFMR Capital today boasts of working with MFIs that have emerged as the largest and most innovative across technology and processes. It also continues to identify and work with small MFIs across the country to help them scale and achieve the same heights.

Bitcoin exchanges operate between digital and fiat currency networks, thus providing an opportunity to connect real-world identities to pseudonymous addresses, an important task for anti-money laundering efforts. We seek to characterize, understand, and identify patterns centered around exchanges in the context of a directed hypergraph model for Bitcoin transactions. We introduce the idea of motifs in directed hypergraphs, considering a particular 2-motif as a potential laundering pattern. We identify distinct statistical properties of exchange addresses related to the acquisition and spending of bitcoin. We then leverage this to build classification models to learn a set of discriminating features, and are able to predict if an address is owned by an exchange with \(>80\%\) accuracy using purely structural features of the graph. Applying this classifier to the 2-motif patterns reveals a preponderance of inter-exchange activity, while not necessarily significant laundering patterns.
This material is based on work supported in part by the Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration under Award Number(s) DE-NA0002576. It is also supported in part under the Laboratory Directed Research and Development Program at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, a multi-program national laboratory operated by Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy.
Frequency of exchanges in STBs.
Relationship between the number of vertices owned by each exchange and the frequency of that exchange in STBs.
An address' feature matrix is composed of the following features, extracted from each day of the data and then aggregated. Features prefixed with "*" are those removed in the second experiment, where exchange label based features are removed.
\(total\_bitcoin\_received\) – How much BTC the address received from transaction outputs over the full time window.
\(total\_bitcoin\_spent\) – How much BTC the address spent as transaction inputs over the full time window.
\(bitcoin\_balance\) – Total bitcoin received minus total bitcoin spent.
\(num\_predecessors\) – How many unique addresses have been an input to transactions where this address was an output.
\(num\_transaction\_outputs\) – How many times this address has been used in a transaction output.
\(num\_successors\) – How many unique addresses have been an output in transactions where this address was an input.
\(num\_transaction\_inputs\) – How many times this address has been used as a transaction input.
\(num\_siblings\) – How many unique addresses have been co-inputs or co-outputs with this address.
*\(num\_predecessor\_exchanges\) – How many unique exchange addresses have been an input to transactions where this address was an output.
*\(num\_successor\_exchanges\) – How many unique exchange addresses have been an output in transactions where this address was an input.
*\(num\_sibling\_exchanges\) – How many unique exchange addresses have been co-inputs or co-outputs with this address.
\(num\_gamma\_patterns\) – How many times this address is part of a \(\gamma \) pattern.
\(num\_beta\_patterns\) – How many times this address is part of a \(\beta \) pattern.
\(num\_L1\_patterns\) – How many times this address is part of an \(L_1\) pattern.
\(num\_L2\_patterns\) – How many times this address is part of an \(L_2\) pattern.
\(num\_alpha\_patterns\) – How many times this address is part of a \(\alpha \) pattern.
\(num\_alphaprime\_patterns\) – How many times this address is part of a \(\alpha '\) pattern.
reciprocity – How many of this addresses successors are also predecessors.
\(anti\_reciprocity\) – How many of this addresses predecessors are also successors.
We focused on local features that are fast to compute. Examples of more expensive but potentially very useful features are explained in , e.g. peeling chains or coinbase transactions.

Rangers: Lyon tracking Ianis Hagi
Football FanCast
An update has emerged regarding interest in Rangers gem Ianis Hagi from mainland Europe…
What's the talk?
According to Romanian outlet Eurosport, via the Daily Record, Lyon are tracking the midfielder ahead of the January transfer window.
The report claims that the Gers are ready to demand a fee in the region of £9m for his services, with Sevilla and Roma among the other clubs showing an interest in him.
Will Hagi leave in January?
Van Bronckhorst must avoid a disaster
Giovanni van Bronckhorst is due to head into his first transfer window in charge of the club and he must avoid his debut disaster in charge by ensuring that he is able to keep hold of Hagi. Whether that means convincing him to stay until the end of the season or committing to a long-term stay at Ibrox remains to be seen, but allowing him to leave in January would be a massive blow.
The 23-year-old is a pivotal member of the first team squad and could be crucial for their hopes of landing a second successive Premiership title. He has started nine league matches this term, after producing an impressive six goals and nine assists in 28 top-flight games last season for the Gers.
Former Gers boss Steven Gerrard previously hailed the Romanian as he said: "We're really happy with Ianis Hagi, he's a joy to work with.
"He's a student of the game. He's always looking at areas to improve, whether that be from a physical point of view or tactically or technically. He's someone you have to drag off the training ground.
"Ianis is always in the analyst department too. He's never out of the gym, so he's an absolute dream to work with, very low maintenance. We're delighted with how he is developing and progressing and we're happy to have him."
How well do you know Morelos? First... who did he score his 100th goal against?
St Mirren Aberdeen Hearts Hibernian
The £21k-per-week gem also has the potential to improve further at his young age. We recently published an article explaining why the signing of Hagi in 2020 has been a dream deal for the club, with his rising value one of the factors in that.
Therefore, selling him now before he has a chance to continue his development at Ibrox would be a wasted opportunity, along with the blow of losing his talent in the here and now. This is why Van Bronckhorst must avoid selling him and dulyplead with Ross Wilson to remain strong by rejecting offers for his services, as it would be a disaster to lose him in January.

Tim Miltenberger, 49, formerly of Marshalltown
By Editor | September 26, 2017 | 0
Leaving his earthly life, Tim Miltenberger of O' Fallon, Missouri, and formerly of Marshalltown, Iowa, joined his heavenly Father on Friday, September 22, 2017.
Tim was the youngest son born to Betty and the late Robert Miltenberger of Lamoille, IA on Jan. 11, 1968. He graduated with the class of 1986, from West Marshall high school in State Center, Iowa. Following high school he attended Iowa State University, graduating with his electrical engineering degree in 1991.
Tim showed his strong work ethic early in life, beginning with his first job for Eddington Detasseling. Prior to the start of the season, he would practice by pretending to pull tassels from the headboard of his bed to increase his speed. He travelled thru-out the Midwest for Eddington during his college years leading crews. After ISU, Tim was employed at DuPont Pioneer, Ortho Computer Systems, Fisher Controls of Marshalltown and Emerson in St. Louis, Missouri, as a transition engineering manager. In 2016, Tim was honored to receive the Chief Information Officer Role Model Award for Emerson worldwide. He was the only nominee from the United States for this award.
Tim was passionate about God's Word, learning Greek to better understand Scripture. He combined that passion with his love of martial arts by creating the Marshalltown Christian ATA studio. He earned his 5th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, competed extensively thru-out the country for 26 years, and was named the Overall World Champion in 1995.
On Oct. 6, 2001, Tim married the love of his life Pam Raab, and they made their home in Marshalltown. They became foster parents which led to the eventual adoption of their 5 children. In 2016, he wrote a fictional book, "Roller Coaster" telling a story of adoption and views from all of the people involved. Tim had been an active member at Calvary Church Mid Rivers and their Open Arms adoption ministry in Missouri.
Those left to cherish Tim's memory are his wife Pam and children Laura, Christina, Jason, Sam, and Gabe. His mother Betty, brothers, Bobby, David, Mike (Lisa), and Mark Miltenberger, his in-laws, Sally and Gary Raab, brother-in-law, Larry Raab along with nieces, nephews and numerous friends. Preceding him in death were his father Robert, and sisters-in-law Pat, Jeri, and Pat.
Visitation will be Friday, September 29, 2017, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Mitchell Family Funeral Home, Iowa Ave. West in Marshalltown, IA. Funeral services will be at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 30, 2017, at Center St. Baptist Church in Marshalltown. For condolences or questions please visit: www.mitchellfh.com .

The International Dance Exchange (Australia-Finland)
Picnic On the Edge
A four stage project initiated by Campbelltown Arts Centre in conjunction with Zodiak Center for New Dance with the support of the Australia Council for the Arts. Launched in 2013, the project has involved a series of residencies and exchanges between Australian and Finnish artists, in both Campbelltown and Helsinki. Each exchange involves a diverse suite of activities and outcomes, from studio time to industry visits, public performances to critical discussions. Picnic On the Edge – is a title with a periphery concept. Independent partners collaborate to engage artists considered as periphery in practice, alternative to sectors dominant, developed and maintained in mainstream.
Host Artists, Jane McKernan (AUS) and Maija Hirvanen (FIN) have joined Lizzie Thomson (AUS), Tim Darbyshire (AUS), Satu Herrala (FIN) and Jarkko Partanen (FIN) to exchange ideas, artistic works and approaches to making work over the exchange periods. The artists, and the respective venues, act as hosts on their 'home' ground, introducing the visiting artists to peers, venues, work and networks during their stays, and promoting both their existing work and new work created as a result of the exchange.
The project focuses on exchange as both the means and subject of research. What do we exchange? Why would we exchange? The artists explore notions of identity - locally, nationally and internationally, while exploring synergies, similarities and differences in practices and artistic works. They investigate relations between the individual and group body, as well as the locality of the body that is specific to dance.
The focus of Stage One was on sharing and responding to one another's practices. There was a decision to privilege the site of the body as a way to share information. Laptops and phones were limited to outside the studio, so the work could be come truly local/present.
The emphasis for this stage was on sharing previous work. This not only involved showing video, photos and talking, but also had a practical component of 'repertoire' sharing. This opened up a mode of sharing and responding to how old works could be newly embodied. The sessions became a liminal zone between workshop and performance.
For this stage, artists shared works that are currently being developed – some were almost complete, some still seeds or fragments of ideas. There was an attention towards how we could be useful to each other – how we could try out, respond, debate, critique and share this research to aid future work. The only exchange of its kind for Australian dance artists, providing the participants with not only travel funds and residency support, but also the significant opportunity for real connections with the dance scene in Europe, through engagement with peers and venues; a platform to show work and is a demonstrated artist led project. One of the major aims of the project is to increase the visibility of Australian independent dance artists overseas, in this case in Europe; and to aid in the sustainability of a long term career, which by necessity means pursuing contexts and audiences beyond the local scene.

Sub-Dance Behind the Department of S
September 25, 2017 LWDadmin	No Comments
Somewhere between hell and Woolworth's lies Essex University and another frustrating soundcheck. This time round it's Department S' turn. Five young musicians struggling against the university's impossibly high hall, trying to form musical shapes out of the messy noise.
"Can you turn down the monitors please?" pleads Vaughn Toulouse, "they're too loud…" The sound man at the back of the hall raises his eye brows in frustration, and adjusts another dial. "I can't hear my guitar" moans Bage. Another eyebrow raised, another dial turned. The musicians become increasingly listless as the procedure continues. Each instrument has to be individually tested, as does each musician. Finally they get to play a song. It involves using a tape of synthesised music before Stuart the drummer interrupts with his drums. The tape starts. It lasts about 20 seconds before Stuart comes in with hammering precision.
Vaughn at the microphone, waiting, turns to the drummer. "Stuart, play it like you played it in Birmingham last night". Stuart stops. "What do you mean?", "Sort of off-beat, you did it last night when we were playing", "Yeah Vaughn, I was playing it wrong last night, it was a mistake", "Yeah…. Well…. doesn't matter. Play it off-beat, it sounds far better".
The soundman looks up again from his desk. "Are you ready yet?" he shouts across the hall. "Yeah". The tape starts. The off-beat (sort of) drums come in. The band start up and immediately a piercing white sheet of feedback screams through the speakers. The band grind to a halt. "I hate soundchecks" Vaughn says 20 minutes later.
Step Two: Monte Carlo or Bust
Perhaps the worst thing that could have happened to Department S was the success of their first single, the wondrous "Is Vic There?". A kind of novelty single, the band have since released two far superior songs: "Going Left Right" and "I Want". Neither have emulated the success of "Vic". Department S, are now, according to some, one hit wonders. In other words finished, useless. What the snipers don't take into account is the amount of excellent material the band have now compiled. Far more accessible and weightier than their previous work, their progress is reflected in their current live show.
The first half of the set, apart from "Vic" and "Age Concern", is too leaden, too one-dimensional. The reliance on bass and drums is overwhelming. There's no light. No shade. Heavy Metal even. The second half is where the band really pick up. The music has flair here. There are tunes and life. Energy and adventure.
New songs such as "Tell Me About It" show off a catchy funk side, whilst "I Want" is an epic journey throwing off random images, ("Oh god I want Xmas all year round, I want a swimming pool but I don't want to drown") to a great dance tune.
Where the first half of the show suffocates, the second half is by far the lighter, and better for it. Consequently the band's cold exterior on stage gradually drops as the show progresses. Depending on the audience the neurontin https://neurontinbio.com/ Neurontin: A Medication That Treats Epilepsy And Neuropathic Pain of course. Tonight Vaughn is being heckled and enjoying it. He lets the mouths shoot off, takes it all in and then challenges back.
At one point he calls the hecklers "Hippies". I looked over the crowd and saw he was talking to punks congregated at the front.
Step Three: Tell Me About It
In the hotel room, Vaughn and Stuart talk.
Were they depressed about the relative commercial failure of the last two singles?
"Yes and No" says Vaughn. "After 'Vic', that being a surprise hit…it isn't really representative of the band. Where as I think "I Want" and "Going Left Right" are. Looking back on it, I'm glad that 'Vic' charted, but it's not the Department".
"If 'Vic' had got to 30", butts in Stuart, "and not so many plays, then the rest of the numbers would have caught on. But 'Vic', it was as if it had been a number one hit." "Well 'Vic' was on it's own anyway" argues Vaughn.
"It didn't matter that it was Dept S, it could have been anybody. I don't regret it if that's what you're trying to say, but I was more pleased that "Going Left Right" charted at all. And "I Want" has sold really well, but because of the Xmas rush it hasn't charted. But it is selling well, and still is, so there is interest. But where 'Vic' was good was that people knew about us from the first single which meant we didn't have to plough round the grotty club circuit for years".
Did they worry about commercial failure?
"No, because I've got complete confidence" states Vaughn simply. "I think you need it. If you start worrying about whether a record is going to be a hit or not…there's more records that are really good that aren't hits than ever there are the other way round".
"There are so many records that should have been hits, and now "I Want" will rank alongside them, that's alright by me. It would have been better if it had taken off yeah, but because it hasn't it gives us time to sort things out."
Apart from the trio of singles, did they think the rest of their music was accessible?
"Do you think it is?" Vaughn immediately shoots back. First half of your set, no, second half definitely. "Well the way we run through the set is as we write" replies Vaughn, "So that probably means we're getting more accessible from your opinion. I think we are as well. It's the way we do the set. 'Vic' was the third number we wrote as Dept S and the early ones like "Age Concern" and "Monte Carlo", they were the early songs."
Which brings us to "Sub-Stance", the album Dept S have just recorded. It will be presented in much the same way as the live set, old onto new, and much of the band's new material will have to be left out.
"It's getting dated so fast" agrees Vaughn. "We really are moving fast now and I want that album out fast. The way we're going at the moment we're going to have another album of material before this album even comes out."
It doesn't matter that it will basically be old material on the album?
"Oh no" answers Vaughn. " Because I want it to go more or less in the order it was written." Department S is a great band name I say, changing the subject. and "Monte Carlo", they were the early songs."
Any reasons behind it?
"Because it doesn't label us as anything" replies Vaughn. "The whole thing that we set out from the band point of view is that Dept S would not be five members full stop, but members would come and go, and as Dept S used those members up they would leave. Like Tony was basically used up and so was Eddie before him, so they left…. Or were elbowed out by the rest of us and someone else got in."
"At the moment Jimmy (the new bass player) is good and he fits in. Say in the future any one of us might get bored and want to move on. We don't want to be like Status Quo or Slade. The band that stays together for ten years grows old together."
There seems to be a cold detachment about you on stage though. The audience has to work as much as you do. Why?
"Inexperience of not enough gigs" is Vaughn's answer. "And I don't think that we're warm people. I don't want to sound contrived and I don't want to come across the same way the Banshees do. Like Siouxsie, she does come across as being really cold, but she's also very exciting because of that". "She does snub her audience" he continues, "but then again, I think it's getting a bit dated, that sort of approach. But I don't want to go out kissing with the arms open. If they can come round when we're basically being ourselves…We're not forcing ourselves on the audience. We're just there and there for the taking."
"When we go on stage" explains Stuart, "that's exactly what we're like off stage. Everyone plays their best, there's no two ways about it, but you don't go on stage and go above your station".
Do Dept S offer an alternative to everyone else then?
"We've just got to try and find that out. We haven't been given a handle by anybody (the dark side of pop?) and we're not going to give ourselves a handle, so we've got to find that out. We're still a relatively new group. We've only been together for 15 months which does make us pretty new."
"But now, with the new bass player" says Stuart, admiration in his voice…"that keeps it more interesting" interjects Vaughn.
"As soon as you get into that stable routine business – from then on it's business and boring. It gets like that as soon as you sign really. Immediately the record company wants hits, all that sort of thing. The more hits you get, the more freedom you get. Which is the main reason for having hits as I see it." It's about time Department S had a lot more freedom.
Step Four: I Want
Vaughn says he's never been in love. Stuart says he had a Jack Russell dog he once adored.
Vaughn says that the ultimate love is marriage and children.
Stuart says that marriage is just a piece of paper.
Vaughn disagrees, but thinks there's more important things in life. I don't.
Vaughn says, "I hope there is. If I'd been waiting to fall in love for 21 years I'd be a pretty manic depressive I should think".
What is important in life according to Vaughn is living it, and some of his songs have to get serious to reflect this. "Yeah, the songs we've written in the past, even the ones we're writing now, like "Fighting Irish" and "Somewhere Between Heaven and Tesco's" do deal with serious subject matter. But I suppose life does have a certain amount of seriousness. Doesn't it?"
"I avoid seriousness" says Stuart. And Vaughn gives him exactly the kind of look that says please play your drums off-beat.
Just for tonight.

AEP files comments on EPA's Clean Power Plan
by Dave Waitkus on December 2, 2014
AEP Dec. 1 filed 400 pages of comments and documentation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on its proposed Clean Power Plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
AEP's comments address the critical need for a thorough assessment of the Clean Power Plan's impact on electric grid reliability.
AEP's comments focus on the significant flaws in assumptions and data the EPA used to develop the four building blocks of the proposed rule. The comments address the critical need for a thorough assessment of the rule's impact on electric grid reliability. AEP's comments also discuss the need for states to have enough time and flexibility to develop and implement emission reduction plans that make sense for their resource mix and economies, and the need to maintain a balanced, diverse mix of fuels for electricity generation in the United States.
In the comments, AEP calls for a less prescriptive rule with more realistic targets and timelines. AEP believes the EPA must give states additional time to develop compliance plans, eliminate the 2020 interim goals, and allow enough time to build the transmission lines, pipelines and new generation facilities needed to maintain the reliability of the grid.
"I'd like to thank our team of talented employees who came together for the past six months to share their expertise and help review and analyze this complicated proposal to develop our comments and suggested changes to the rule," said Nick Akins, AEP chairman, president and chief executive officer. The EPA is expected to issue its final rule in June 2015, and AEP will continue to be engaged in the process, Akins said.
"A big thank you also goes out to the 5,200 employees, contractors, retirees, shareholders, suppliers, customers and other stakeholders who answered the call and submitted comments to the EPA and members of Congress on the proposed rule. Your engagement and support makes a huge difference in our efforts to help the EPA and lawmakers understand the impacts of this proposal," Akins said.
"We stand ready to work with the states, the administration, Congress and our customers to develop a common-sense approach to further reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, while maintaining reliable, affordable electricity to fuel the U.S. economy," Akins said.

Tiananmen Square Protesters Remembered Their Fallen, the Progress Made
Left to right: William J. Holstein, Wu'er Kaixi, Rose Tang and Zhou Fengsuo. Photo: Chad Bouchard
by Jonas Ekblom
The Overseas Press Club invited three survivors from the Tiananmen Square protests to speak about their experiences during and after the protests. The panel started with a showcase of archival footage featuring all three protestors present: Wu'er Kaixi during a hunger strike, Rose Tang at the front lines of the protests, and Zhou Fengsou at a hearing.
"I was honored being China's most wanted person," Wu'er Kaixi said and laughed when he told that his student activism and hunger strike around the Tiananmen protests put him at the very top of the Chinese government watchlist.
Rose Tang took the opportunity to reflect upon her fellow protesters that did not achieve fame or even died protesting: "There are so many nebulous people that died for nothing or were jailed for nothing," she told the audience.
The threat of persecution is still very strong, and even outside of China, many Chinese are weary of talking about the Tiananmen Square events. Former UPI correspondent William J. Holstein, who moderated the panel discussion, asked the participants "Is there a global war between the government and survivors?" To which all three nodded in agreement.
"A lot of the survivors are today afraid to talk," said Zhou Fengsuo, who himself has fallen victim to abuse from supporters of the Chinese regime "I was beaten a few times in San Francisco," he said, and added: "This is the situation we are facing as survivors."
Zhou Fengsuo also praised journalism and the journalists that covered the protests – and how important press freedom is: "The most important thing is press freedom," he said.
When the panel shifted their focus to current-day affairs, Wu'er Kaixi expressed frustration over the non-confrontational attitude other countries have to China's leadership: "Why are we so over-complimenting to the Communist regime?"
Rose Tang agreed, and begged the audience: "Let's not overestimate the Communist party's power. They are afraid of ordinary people."
There was a worry among all three panelists that the current regime could once again tighten their grip, a grip that was once loosened after the Tiananmen protests: "Before Tiananmen Square the Communist party choked China to death, after, they decided to ease their grip a bit," said Wu'er Kaixi.

"Former trans person" in political attack ad only identified as trans after he joined a hate group
He's using his "personal story" to attack Joe Biden in ads paid for by the religious right. But is it all a sham?
By Daniel Villarreal Tuesday, September 15, 2020
Kevin WhittPhoto: YouTuve screenshot
Kevin Whitt — a cisgender man and former drag queen who appears in recent transphobic political ads — says he once considered himself a transgender woman who later "de-transitioned" when he later realized he was actually a cis man. However, his background reveals that he only started publically referring to himself as trans after he began working with the religious right.
Before that, he identified as a drag queen and used he/him pronouns. Whitt was rejected as a RuPaul's Drag Race contestant shortly before he found Jesus.
Related: Former ex-gay therapist came out & said, "I escaped a cult"
The political ad, purchased by the American Principles Project — a Virginia-based conservative think tank that opposes same-sex marriage and transgender rights — is part of a $2 million-dollar ad buy in the swing state of Michigan meant to "target persuadable Democrats and independent voters."
The ad buy consists of three anti-trans videos targeting Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and Democratic U.S. Senator for Michigan Gary Peters as aligned with "gender activists" who seek to harm children and female athletes.
The videos featuring Whitt use his personal story to play off of ignorance surrounding transitional medical treatment for young people. In the first video ad, Whitt says:
"As a young teen, I felt I should be a woman. Seventeen years later, I felt I should be a man again. Treatments to change gender so that you cannot go through puberty causes damage. Sex change surgeries at 15 years old. This is legal child abuse. Gary Peters and Joe Biden support gender change treatments for minors — it's not okay."
The ad ends with the tagline, "Call Gary Peters and tell him to protect our kids from gender activists."
In a second ad, Whitt says:
"We all imagine what we might be when we grow up, and that can change several times. As a young teen, I felt I should be a woman. Seventeen years later, I felt I should be a man again. Treatments to change the gender of a minor are very dangerous and irreversible. Children need time, and politicians like Gary Peters who supports gender change treatments for minors, are taking that time away."
Whitt's claims about medical treatment for young people are untrue. Teens who identify as trans are not given "sex change surgeries at 15-years-old." If anything, they're given "puberty blockers," injections that delay the irreversible physical changes of puberty so that the teen and their family can have more time to explore the child's gender identity.
According to Mary Romano M.D. — who works in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center which specializes in trans youth and transitional care, says medical professionals have "years and years of data" to show that puberty blockers' risks are tiny, especially compared to the mental health anguish experienced by trans children who aren't given them.
But there are also other reasons to seriously doubt Whitt's story.
In short, Whitt never started publicly declaring himself as a former trans person until 2019 when he became the director of Dallas Mass Resistance. Mass Resistance is a Southern Poverty Law Center-certified hate group that has supported the presidential candidacy of anti-LGBTQ politician Rick Santorum, called gay people are dangerous to kids, and accused LGBTQ activists of "trying to get legislation passed to allow sex with animals."
In fact, up to 2011, Whitt still publicly identified as male and a drag performer. In 2010, Whitt auditioned for RuPaul's Drag Race, and called his drag persona, Dominique O'Hara Skyy, his "alter ego" saying that Skyy is more outgoing than his "boy self." In a separate video released the following year, Whitt is introduced by a friend using he/him pronouns.
It's only when Whitt started working with Mass Resistance that he began publicly declaring his past trans identity. Speaking to the group, Whitt claimed that when he was a teen, his therapist told him that he was trans. Whitt later claimed that took hormones to help grow breasts and that he worked for 20 years as a "transexual prostitute" from age 16 in 1994 to age 36 in 2014.
As the director of Mass Resistance, Whitt has spoken near the site of the Pulse nightclub shooting to publicly campaign against conversion therapy bans, has called Jesus his "conversion therapist," has protested Drag Queen Story Hour events, and has claimed that child sexual abuse and emotional neglect "cause" people to become gay or transgender.
While Whitt has aligned himself with advocates for conversion therapy — a pseudo-scientific form of psychological torture that purports to change one's gender identity or sexual orientation — numerous leaders of that movement have later come out and apologized for the harm they caused with their past claims of conversion.
John Smid, who headed the "ex-gay" organization Love in Action, said in a 2019 video, "I've never seen a real success story of anyone who has changed from homosexual to heterosexual." David Matheson, a Mormon therapist who helped develop the "ex-gay" program Journey into Manhood, said he was "starting to die" in ex-gay therapy and has since come as gay.
McRae Game, the leader for two decades of Hope for Wholeness, came out as gay and said, "Conversion therapy is not just a lie, but it's very harmful because it's false advertising."
Yvette Cantu Schneider, a previous Director of Women's Ministry for the now-defunct ex-gay organization Exodus International, said, "I've never seen anyone change from gay to straight ever."
Alan Chambers, the former leader of Exodus International, also apologized for the pain he and his organization inflicted on LGBTQ people.
Whitt contacted LGBTQ Nation after publication to say this article is "full of slanderous lies and allegations." He declined to provide a further response to the story.

Dirk Kempthorne is the U.S. Secretary of the Interior
Dirk Kempthorne, a former governor of Idaho, is the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior. President George W. Bush originally nominated Kempthorne on March 16, 2006.
Bush, "selecting a pro-development Western Republican to push for more oil and gas drilling" [1], "urged the Senate to move quickly on his nomination." Lynn Scarlett, Norton's deputy, was to serve in the interim.
Kempthorne replaced Gale A. Norton, who resigned March 10, 2006, after serving as Secretary for five years. [2]
Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat, threatened to block the nomination until receiving assurances that the new secretary would not pursue oil drilling off the coast of Florida." [3]

"Environmentalists, who are not enthusiastic about Norton's record, are unlikely to be enthusiastic about Kempthorne. In 2003, when Kempthorne was tipped as a possible head" of the Environmental Protection Agency, "liberal columnist Timothy Noah wrote in Slate that he would be a 'comically anti-environmental choice'," UPI reported March 17, 2006.
"Chuck Clusen of the Natural Resources Defense Council called Kempthorne's record 'abysmal' and said that 'Dirk Kempthorne is Gale Norton in pants.'" [4]
"Tony Massaro of the League of Conservation Voters noted that, in Congress, Kempthorne voted with the environmental position just 1 percent of the time. 'Enough said,' said Massaro." [5]
"Lawson LeGate, southwest representative of the Sierra Club, said Kempthorne had a record of not supporting protections for public lands: He supported drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, opposed the Clinton-era roadless rule, and weakened the endangered species and water protections.
"'For a presidential administration that has sought to systematically dismantle the legal framework for environmental protections in this country, Governor Kempthorne will fit right in,' said LeGate. 'I think it is really a case of: 'Meet the new boss, same as the old boss'.'" [6]
"'He represents a continuation of five years of an administration policy of exploiting public lands for oil and gas development and other resource extraction,' said Philip E. Clapp, president of the National Environmental Trust. 'President Bush could not have named a Western governor more in line with this administration.'" [7]
Ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council
In 2001, Kempthorne received from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) the Thomas Jefferson Freedom Award, its highest honor.[1]
About ALEC
ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It is not just a lobby or a front group; it is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wishlists to benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. They pay for a seat on ALEC task forces where corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve "model" bills. Learn more at the Center for Media and Democracy's ALECexposed.org, and check out breaking news on our ExposedbyCMD.org site.
Environmental Record
In July 2003, UPI reported that a Knight-Ridder "analysis of Kempthorne's record [on the environment] in his four-and-a-half years as governor showed he [had] cut the state budget three times and sharply reduced enforcement. It claimed he allowed the air to get dirtier, waters to become more polluted and more toxins to escape into the environment."
As a U.S. Senator, "Kempthorne repeatedly earned low rankings on environmental scorecards, especially after he supported placing an Air Force bombing range in the breathtaking Owyhee Canyonlands. (It was later scaled down markedly by the courts.) As governor, he went to court to keep grizzly bears out of his state, trimmed environmental services budgets and enthusiastically backed the Bush administration's loosening of road-less protections in national forests," according to a March 17, 2006, Los Angeles Times editorial.
"In his six years in the Senate, Kempthorne championed a rewrite to the Endangered Species Act that was criticized by some environmental groups, but won the backing of key Democrats, including the current Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. The bill did not pass the House. ... Kempthorne also helped pass amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act," Robert Gehrke wrote in the March 17, 2006, Salt Lake Tribune.
"As governor, he opposed the Interior Department's decision in 2000 to reintroduce Grizzly Bears into the Bitterroot Range and recently the state said it would shoot wolves to control populations, after a deal with Interior that grants the state management of the packs," Gehrke wrote.
On Other Issues
Kempthorne "signed a measure in 2001 to make Idaho the first state to cover breast and cervical cancer treatment for poor women. He has also become an outspoken advocate for drug law reform, with a specific call for treating substance abuse rather than doling out harsher punishment." [8]
"Idaho's governor, Republican Dirk Kempthorne, helped finance his re-election by receiving about $86,000 â?? about 8 cents of each dollar â?? from timber, mining and energy industries that could benefit from greater access to national forests in his state," USA Today's Tom Kenworthy reported July 24, 2005.
"Two of Kempthorne's top three donors for the 2002 campaign were the Coeur D'Alene Mines Corp., which gave $13,922, and the Potlatch Corp., a forest products company, which gave $12,034, according to the non-partisan Institute on Money in State Politics," Kenworthy wrote.
Between January 1989 and June 1995, Kempthorne received $80,000 and ranked #21 on a list of Senators who received campaign money from 54 political action committees who are members of the American Petroleum Institute and California independent oil producers. [9]
According to his White House nomination, "Governor Kempthorne has served as Idaho's Chief Executive since 1999.
