WASHINGTON – The State Department has ordered the developer of a pipeline that would carry oil from western Canada to Texas to reroute it from environmentally sensitive areas of Nebraska, possibly delaying a final U.S. decision until after the 2012 election.
The decision, described to The Associated Press by two senior State Department officials familiar with the project, will require an environmental review of the new section. That review probably would take at least a year.

WHITEFISH – In Chuck Gailey’s basement office, what he believes is the future of home design and building sits on a computer screen. Various windows are open on the screen, all displaying the complex workings of a timber frame home that is being constructed a few miles away along KM Ranch Road, just west of Whitefish. But the frame won’t be staying there long.
This week, the frame, roof structure and other parts will be loaded into three semi-trucks and transported more than 2,000 miles to New York where the final product will be assembled with the help of home builders and designers. That is what makes Gailey’s company, OTB Designworks, unique.

Comments (0) TotalWASHINGTON – The State Department is considering a plan that would reroute the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada away from environmentally sensitive areas of Nebraska, an action that could delay a final decision on the project until after the 2012 election.
A U.S. official said told The Associated Press on Wednesday that rerouting the pipeline was a key issue that came up during public meetings and this fall in the six states through which the pipeline would run. The official asked not to be identified because no decision has been made.

A nearly decade-long battle over the use of fire retardant now centers on the effectiveness of the wildfire suppressant.
The group responsible for initially suing the U.S. Forest Service over the chemical’s environmental impact believes the agency’s latest assessment raises doubts about whether retardant is even proven useful, an opinion local fire officials and the leader of the assessment disagree with.

Apollo Child spent a year fighting for his country in Iraq. When he returned home to Kalispell, a happy wife and newborn baby were waiting for him, but a job wasn’t. He’s been unemployed for two months now and he’s beginning to have flashbacks to his poverty-stricken childhood.
“I can’t let Nathan go through the same thing I did growing up,” Child said, gesturing to his 3-month-old son while sitting in a room at the Flathead Job Service last week.

Productivity is pretty important, but it had better apply to the right sort of work.
Even if your employees are incredibly efficient at whatever they do, if their work no longer brings substantial value to the table, your business could evaporate.

Comments (0) TotalThe wealth gap between older and younger Americans has widened sharply in recent years – because of both the deep recession and longer-term trends. That's the conclusion of a new analysis released by the Pew Research Center, which looked at an array of government numbers to reach its conclusions.
In all, the typical household headed by someone younger than 35 has seen its net worth fall by 68 percent between 1984 and 2009, after adjusting for inflation, according to the Pew report released Monday. Those in the 35-to-44 age group also saw a decline in net worth over that period, a drop of 44 percent.
