Liberty Utilities keeps on trucking with natural gas

Posted on by

COLUMBUS, GA, June 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Liberty Utilities Co. today announced plans to add 14 compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles to its Georgia fleet by the end of 2014. The vehicles will be rolled out as part of a pilot program with the official kick-off being held at Liberty Utilities Columbus office today. A "Fuel Up and Fill Up" luncheon will feature a close-up look at newly branded CNG trucks, fueling station demonstrations and an opportunity to learn more about the benefits of CNG technology.

Consumer interest in CNG vehicles continues to grow as a result of public concern over high gasoline prices, dependence on foreign-oil imports, climate change and air quality. According to America's Natural Gas Alliance, natural gas vehicles emit up to 30% less CO2 emissions than their gasoline and diesel burning counterparts, improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gases.

"There is a considerable focus across the nation to leverage the abundant, reliable and clean-burning natural gas resource in day-to-day operations," said Roger Garms, President, Liberty Utilities Georgia. "I'm proud to say, at Liberty Utilities, we're taking a leadership role and doing what we can to make natural gas vehicles an important part of our transportation mix."

"CNG is a bridging fuel to a low-carbon future," said Joel Ames, Sr. Manager of Customer Care, Liberty Utilities Georgia. "It's the right step for us, for our customers and for our planet."

Liberty Utilities plans to expand the CNG fleet into additional locations across eight states including: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Iowa, New Hampshire and Texas.

Libertarian Enters 33rd District House Race

Posted on by

Longtime Republican Del. Joe May went unchallenged for the previous two election cycles, but now three candidates are fighting for the 33rd District House of Delegates seat.

Libertarian Patrick Hagerty of Leesburg has entered the race to represent the 33rd District, which stretches from Leesburg into Clarke and Frederick counties. Hagerty facesHamiltonconservative Dave LaRock, who defeated May in the June 11 primary election, and Democrat Mary L.C. Daniel, an attorney from Berryville.

Hagerty, 30, has owned a kennel just outside of Leesburg for seven years called Howl of a Good Time. He considers himself the only candidate for the 33rd District who has residents freedoms and liberties as their priorities.

Washington is calling all the shots for everybody, and our last defense to intervene is Richmond, he said. Someone needs to be down in Richmond with our best interests in mind.

Hagerty said even the process he went through to get the Board of Supervisors to grant him the special exception required for the operation of a kennel on his property was an example of governments mismanagement.

They have all these rules and regulations, and the left hand doesnt know the right hand is doing, he said. The government is too big and has too much control. They try to micromanage everything and its counter productive.

UN resolution calling for talks disappoints Falkland Islands

Posted on by

New York (dpa) - Representatives of the Falkland Islands expressed disappointment Thursday after a UN resolution called for talks between Britain and Argentina to settle the dispute over the islands instead of accepting the recent referendum by the islanders.

Elected representatives from the Falkland Islands appealed to the UN special committee on decolonization to acknowledge their decision to remain an overseas territory of Britain. That decision, which came in a referendum in March, was disregarded by Argentina, which claims the islands belong to its territory.

Sharon Halford, a member of the Falklands legislative assembly, said the referendum passed with the approval of 99.8 per cent of the voters - only three residents wanted an alternative political status for the islands.

"We, the people of the Falklands, are happy with our current relationship with the UK," Halford told the UN committee. "It is not an anachronistic colonial situation as characterised by Argentina, but a modern relationship where the UK listens to our wishes and we are responsible for our own internal self-government."

Halford said the referendum was based on a 1970 UN resolution offering people from non-self governing territories the right to self determination, including having any political status they decide.

However, the UN resolution passed Thursday calls for a "peaceful and negotiated settlement" between Argentina and Britain and disregards the Falklands claim to self governance.

Mark Lyall Grant, Britains ambassador to the UN, said the committee failed to recognize the wishes of the people.

"The committees approach is outdated and disconnected from the people its supposed to be helping," Grant said.

Argentinas Foreign Minister Hector Timerman, who also addressed the committee, was pleased with the outcome of the resolution.

"The United Nations found (its) a conflict of national integrity," Timerman said. "A conflict between two countries: the United Kingdom and Argentina."

Government of Canada invests in Wood Islands – Caribou ferry service

Posted on by

CARIBOU, NS, June 21, 2013 /CNW/ - The Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence and Member of Parliament for Central Nova, and the Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of National Revenue, Minister for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and Member of Parliament for Egmont, today announced an investment totaling close to $13 million in the Wood Islands, P.E.I. - Caribou, N.S. ferry service.

"Our government understands the importance of ferry services to the local communities throughout Atlantic Canada," said Minister MacKay. "Ferries support trade and tourism and connect people and business throughout the region and today's investment will ensure that residents and visitors will continue to benefit from the safe and reliable operation of this ferry service."

"Canada needs safe and efficient transportation in all regions and this service helps us to support growth and create jobs and prosperity, both here and across Canada," said Minister Shea. "Since 2006, our government has made significant investments in this ferry service and we remain committed to working with the provinces and local communities to develop a long-term approach for these services."

The main engines on the MV Holiday Island will be replaced to improve efficiency of the vessel and to reduce the risk of unexpected mechanical failures. As well, improvements are being made to shore-based infrastructure including the rehabilitation of the East and West Breakwater and berths for the MV Confederation and the MV Holiday Island in Wood Islands, P.E.I., and the rehabilitation of both ferry berths in Caribou, N.S.

The Government of Canada supports three inter-provincial ferry services in Eastern Canada:

In support of these ferry services, the Government of Canada owns four vessels and six ferry terminals, which are leased to private operators. Since 2006, the Government of Canada has invested approximately $200 million in operating and capital funding for these ferry services.

Canada's Economic Action Plan provides new opportunities for growth, job creation and long-term prosperity. Thanks to the Government of Canada's leadership and our strong economic and financial fundamentals, the Canadian economy has recovered from the global recession better than most other industrialized countries. Canada has been a leader among G-7 countries throughout the recovery with more than one million net new jobs created since July 2009.

For more information about the projects, please see the attached backgrounder.

The ferry service is an important transportation link to Prince Edward Island and was identified as a priority by the provincial government in a number of meetings with the federal government on the province's infrastructure priorities.

The ferry service is used extensively by businesses, truckers and residents in eastern Prince Edward Island and by tourists coming to and leaving the province. Last year, it carried a total of 150,000 vehicles and 380,000 passengers.

Falkland Islands and Britain rejects Argentina’s Pope Francis hopes

Posted on by

Just over 30 years later, memories of the conflict remain and Argentine President Cristina Kirchner has mounted a campaign to renegotiate the islands' sovereignty, lobbying Pope Francis on the issue and rejecting a March referendum in which Falkland residents voted to remain a British Overseas Territory.

Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff, said in 2012 when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires that Britain had "usurped" the disputed islands from Argentina. In 2011, he said the islands were "ours," a view most Argentinians share.

Argentine foreign minister Hector Timerman told reporters that London should engage in direct talks with Buenos Aires on the dispute. Lyall Grant said Britain was open to dialogue with Argentina, but only if the Falklanders are involved, a position Timerman dismissed.

"I am the foreign minister of Argentina," Timerman said. "I want to talk with the foreign minister of the United Kingdom."

Timerman and Summers were in New York for an annual meeting of the UN Decolonisation Committee on the Falklands-Malvinas dispute.

Earlier on Thursday, the committee adopted a non-binding resolution sponsored by a number of Latin American states that was similar to ones adopted in previous years. It calls on Argentina and Britain to enter into negotiations on the islands.

The Falklands are among the scattered remnants of the once mighty British Empire, which towered over 19th century history but faded into decline after the Second World War.

Argentina argues it is absurd for Britain to have control of land so far from its own shores, accusing London of maintaining "colonial enclaves."

Channel Islands: Channelling two nations

Posted on by

Nearer to France than England, the Channel Islands in the English Channel, administered by Britain, have a uniqueness about them which is neither British nor French.

FOR centuries, many outsiders, myself included, have been drawn repeatedly to the Channel Islands, and their charm and popularity shows no sign of diminishing, even in the 21st century.

For visitors there are five main islands, all offering different scenery, culture, traditions and activities.

Alderney

Alderney is the third largest Channel Island and possesses a strong individual identity. Many people compare the atmosphere on the island to the England of the 1950s, as there is a real sense of community among the residents.

And time seems to have stood relatively still.

Other quirks include the language, because until relatively recently French and the islands own dialect were spoken. Nowadays English is the first language of residents but place names are still in French.

However, the remnants of a darker recent past are still scattered across the island from World War II when it was occupied by the Nazis. The whole population of the islands was removed by the Germans so that concentration camps could be built there. The remains of the German occupation are scattered everywhere, but are now a popular source of exploration for young children unaware of their sinister past.

Most people who come here are either families looking for a place where the children can freely explore the countryside and forts or play on the beach, or they are are older couples relishing the quiet pace of life. However, if you are seeking more, then Alderney has a relatively lively night scene with many pubs and restaurants, confirming the islands ancient reputation among the other Channel Islands as being populated by drinkers.

While you are there, the one thing not to be missed is a journey on Alderneys railway, the only one on the Channel Islands. The very leisurely ride takes one from the capital of St Annes to the old Mannez Quarry, and for only 3 (RM15) per person, it represents value for money.

Is Buying 3M Stock a Smart Health Care Play?

Posted on by

Not every health care investment is a health care investment. How is that possible? Investors can buy shares of a company that benefits from the growth of health care but isn't exclusively in health care itself. 3M (NYSE: MMM) is a great example. The Minnesota-based giant has interests in a variety of business sectors, one of which happens to be health care. Could buying 3M stock still be a smart health care investment choice? Let's examine.

Three MsWhile 3M originally stood for Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, today those Ms today could just as easily mean "medical products, microbiology, and management systems." Net sales for the company's Health Care business segment in 2012 totaled $5.1 billion. This ranks Health Care as 3M's second-largest unit, trailing only Industrial & Transportation.

3M's medical products include a variety of offerings, from adhesive surgical tapes to stethoscopes. On the microbiology front, the company's product line includes pathogen testing, hygiene monitoring tests, and other solutions that address food safety. 3M Health Care's health information management tools span from diagnosis coding software for hospitals and physician offices to revenue cycle management systems.

All of the focus on health care pays off. While the Health Care segment accounts for 17% of total net sales, it contributes 25% of the company's total operating income. And profitability levels for the segment are growing -- by 10.6% in 2012.

Three rivalsHowever, 3M Health Care's sales aren't growing as strongly. Net sales increased by only 2.5% in 2012 compared to the prior year. This low single-digit growth stems partially from stiff competition.

Covidien (NYSE: COV) battles against 3M for market share in the medical devices and supplies arena. Net sales for Covidien's medical devices unit in 2012 were $8.1 billion. The company's medical supplies segment contributed another $1.7 billion in sales. The total of the two business segments nearly doubles that of 3M Health Care.

Additional competition comes from Kimberly-Clark (NYSE: KMB) . The company is more well-known for its consumer products such as diapers, paper towels, and tissues, but it also has a large health care business segment. Last year, Kimberly-Clark generated sales topping $1.6 billion from its medical devices, surgical products, and infection prevention products. While this total represented less than 8% of total sales, the company intends to shift more resources to the health care unit in the future.

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) stands as another big rival for 3M Health Care. J&J's scale dwarfs that of the other competitors, though. The company's Medical Devices and Diagnostics business segment generated revenue in 2012 of $27.4 billion -- 6.4% higher than the prior year. This amounted to a little over 40% of J&J's total sales to customers.

From an investor's viewpoint, 3M stock holds its own against the three competitors. It is running neck-and-neck with J&J so far in 2013 and stands well ahead of both Kimberly-Clark and Covidien.

Health care overhaul excludes some immigrants for decade

Posted on by

PHOENIX President Barack Obama has championed two sweeping policy changes that could transform how people live in the United States: affordable health care for all and a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants illegally in the country.

But many immigrants will have to wait more than a decade to qualify for health care benefits under the proposed immigration overhaul being debated by Congress, ensuring a huge swath of people will remain uninsured as the centerpiece of Obama's health care law launches next year.

Lawmakers pushing the immigration bill said adding more recipients to an already costly benefit would make it unaffordable.

Health care analysts and immigration proponents argue that denying coverage will saddle local governments with the burden of uninsured immigrants. They also fear a crisis down the road as immigrants become eligible for coverage, but are older, sicker and require more expensive care. Those placed on provisional status would become the nation's second-largest population of uninsured, or about 25 percent, according to a 2012 study by the Urban Institute.

"All health research shows that the older you get, the sicker you become, so these people will be sicker and will be more expensive on the system," said Matthew O'Brien, who runs a health clinic for immigrants in Philadelphia and researches health trends at Temple University.

The Affordable Care Act will make health insurance accessible for millions of uninsured people starting in January through taxpayer-subsidized private policies for middle-class families and expanded access to Medicaid, the program for low-income people funded by federal and state dollars. The proposed immigration overhaul explicitly states immigrants cannot receive Medicaid or buy coverage in new health care exchanges for more than a decade after they qualify for legal status, and only after certain financial and security requirements have been met.

Immigrants with provisional status may obtain insurance through employers once they have legal status to work, but many are unskilled and undereducated, and tend to work low-wage jobs at small businesses that don't have to provide the benefit under the health care law. Immigrants illegally in the country also can access community health centers, but the officials who run those clinics said they are overwhelmed by the demand.

"We can't help everybody," said Bethy Mathis, executive director of Wesley Community Center in Phoenix. The clinic serves 7,000 patients a year who seek everything from vaccinations and relief from minor medical problems to care for long-term health conditions such as diabetes.

Debate over whether immigrants illegally in the country should be eligible for federal benefits nearly sank Obama's health care reform before it was passed by Congress in 2010. For lawmakers pushing immigration reform, there was no question that immigrants would continue to be excluded.

"That's one of the privileges of citizenship," said Republican Sen. John McCain, one of the so-called Gang of Eight pushing the immigration bill, during a conference call with reporters. "That's just what it is. I don't know why we would want to provide Obamacare to someone who is not a citizen of this country."

3 Disruptive Technologies Reshaping Health Care Today

Posted on by

Like it or not, our world is constantly changing, as technological advances grow ever more frequent. While some folks may lament the loss of seemingly simpler days past, the fact remains that companies around the globe are working hard to make apositive impact on the the way we live.

To be sure, in few industries are these changes more apparent than health care, where our very lives are often at stake. Here are three disruptive technologies, then, which are in the process of effectively reshaping health care as we know it:

Your health is in the cloud(s)First of all, health care companies are currently taking advantage of cloud computingin ways we could have never dreamed only a few decades ago.

Take athenahealth (NASDAQ: ATHN) , for instance, which focuses entirely on developing cloud-based tools for streamlining medical practice management, electronic health records, patient communications, care coordination, and account collection.

Unsurprisingly, demand for its services is strong, as athenahealth currently boasts nearly 41,000 medical providers on its network, up from around 38,000 in January. As a result, athenahealth ranked fourth on Forbes' list of America's 25 fastest-growing tech companies in 2012, following 13 straight years of achieving at least 30% top-line growth.

Or consider Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) , which published a white paper last year outlining how health-care companies can take advantage of Amazon Web Services "to power information processing systems that facilitate HIPAA and HITECH compliance."

Incidentally, Amazon not only uses AWS to power its own web properties and handle traffic for sites including Netflix, Yelp, reddit, and Pinterest, but also currently counts at least a dozen different health-related organizations among its list of AWS clients. Most notably, these include CloudPrime, Global Data Systems, Nimbus Health, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, Pfizer, the Praekelt Foundation, Toshiba Medical, Harvard Medical School, NYU Langone Medical Center, and Sage Bionetworks.

Any time, any placeNext, where would cloud computing be without the meteoric rise of mobile apps?

Remember, in March, athenahealth also finalized its $293 million acquisition of mobile health pioneer Epocrates, whose point-of-care mobile app has been downloaded by more than a million health-care professionals for their iPhones, iPads, Android, or BlackBerrydevices.

Of course, Epocrates isn't without competition:WebMD's (NASDAQ: WBMD) own Medscape app has also been downloaded more than 3 million times and, according to Medscape, is now used by half of all U.S. physicians, and three out of four U.S. medical students.
