Maine OKs $1.2 million subsidy for biomass plant

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine taxpayers are giving an embattled biomass company a $1.2 million subsidy thanks to a move by the state's utility regulators. Maine Public reports that the Public Utilities Commission this week approved the subsidy for Stored Solar LLC. The company could have received up to a $4.6 million but regulators say it failed to deliver on goals for waste wood purchases and capital spending. The company operates two plants in West Enfield and Jonesboro. The commission last month... Читать дальше...

FantasyDraft: Cole Mining Won’t Get You Shafted

Razzball 

I’ve held a myriad of weird jobs over the years, none of which I’ve been qualified for: Closed captioner for every episode of The Monkees shown here in Canada (seriously)? Check. Audio engineer in a TV mobile truck for hockey games? Check. Report writer at a geology firm? Check. Writer at Razzball? Check. I have always kind of winged it (wung it?) through life. And that’s the theme for this post: winging it. As I write this on Friday night, the Dodgers-Giants game has just been postponed and God knows who’s going to be playing where tomorrow.

Brazil's Lula will turn himself in to police

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

SAO BERNARDO DO CAMPO, Brazil (AP) — Former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told thousands of supporters Saturday that he would turn himself in to police, but also maintained his innocence and argued his corruption conviction was simply a way for enemies to make sure he doesn't run — and possibly win — re-election in October. The public comments were da Silva's first since the Supreme Federal Tribunal, the country's top court, ruled against his petition Thursday to remain free while he continued to appeal his conviction.

Some of you... (42 replies)

Small Heath Alliance 

...need to sit down and ask whether Blues is really for you. We’ve won three games in a row, two 6 pointers, we go a goal down and it’s “we’re gone”. With 20 minutes to play. We battered them. We hit the woodwork twice. Had 25 shots on goal. Sometimes you don’t get the rub - that’s football. Winning four on the spin is promotion form and just because Burton sit bottom doesn’t guarantee anything. Perhaps you thought this would be a walk in the park, although considering we’ve lost the last 4/5 league games against them... Читать дальше...

Contentious penalty helps Juve beat defiant Benevento

Times of Malta 

Serie A leaders Juventus needed two penalties, the second a hugely controversial one awarded for an alleged trip on Gonzalo Higuain, to win 4-2 at bottom-of-the-table Benevento after the hosts twice came from behind to equalise on Saturday. Paulo Dybala, sent off in the 3-0 Champions League defeat at home to Real Madrid on Tuesday, converted both spot kicks on his way to his third league hat-trick of the season. The main talking point, however, involved Higuain's role in winning the second penalty. Читать дальше...

Griffin Park Grapevine 

Given that only 5th and 6th place are seriously up for grabs. Below is a list of the likely contenders for those places together with their run-in fixtures. Alongside each of the teams' opponents I've listed their current league position.
