Source: Mail Tribune, Medford, Ore.儲存倉Sept. 04--The long-anticipated change of ownership for Southern Oregon's two daily newspapers -- the Mail Tribune and Daily Tidings -- came to fruition Tuesday when an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC acquired the Dow Jones Local Media Group, a unit of global media giant News Corp.The Medford and Ashland dailies, which along with The Nickel make up the Southern Oregon Media Group, will be managed by GateHouse Media, one of the largest publishers of locally based print and online media in the United States, with a portfolio of more than 400 community publications -- including 78 daily newspapers and 235 weekly papers -- and approximately 350 websites.The sales price wasn't disclosed, but the sale was expected following months of tire-kicking by media corporation representatives. Once News Corp spun off its television, film and entertainment properties into a separate company in June, it became a matter of time before a deal was consummated.The SOMG's 123 employees were informed of the sale Tuesday afternoon by Publisher Grady Singletary."I am very pleased that the ownership of the Southern Oregon Media Group will transition to companies that believe in a strong community presence," Singletary said.Southern Oregon communities will continue to be served as they have for more than a century, he said."I'm not sure you ever get used to transitioning to new owners. But I think, again, the positive from this change is that we have ownership committed to community journalism and providing quality products to the advertising community. While there will be changes that we will face, changes in systems and how we function, our focus on providing quality products -- print and online -- that doesn't change, that will never change."Dow Jones Local Media Group operates 33 publications, including eight dailies in Oregon, California and the Northeast, and 15 weeklies in seven states. All but 10 corporate-level staff members of the group's more than 1,200 employees will be retained by the buyer.Robert Thomson, chief executive of News Corp, said in a statement the community papers had a strong tradition, but didn't fit with the company's future interests."We are confident that the papers will prosper under the new owners," Thomson said. "But they were not strategically consistent with the emerging portfolio of the new News (Corp)."The Mail Tribune joined News Corp in 2007 when the Rupert Murdoch-controlled media conglomerate acquired its parent company, Dow Jones Corp., and The Wall Street Journal.New York-based Fortress Investment Group, a publicly traded investment firm,迷你倉價錢is the principal shareholder of GateHouse Media. Fortress earned $63 million on revenue of $970.1 million in 2012.Fortress operates several funds, including private equity and hedge funds. Parties in the transaction didn't identify the affiliate that gained ownership of the newspaper group.GateHouse Media is based in Fairport, N.Y. The company lost $31.6 million during the first six months of 2013 on revenue of $230.1 million. Its over-the-counter stock has been selling at 5 cents per share and there have been numerous reports in the financial media that it is considering seeking bankruptcy protection to address more than $1 billion in debt coming due next year."The newspaper industry and (GateHouse Media) have experienced declining same-store revenue and profitability over the past several years," the publishing firm said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing last month. The company said it had suspended cash dividends, reduced costs and sold non-core assets.While the Fortress affiliate is purchasing the Local Media Group, the newspapers and websites will report to GateHouse and local employees will share the same management, benefits and corporate support as workers at other GateHouse entities.In an email to LMG employees, GateHouse Media CEO Mike Reed wrote: "We view LMG as a company with a sustainable path forward, providing we collaborate, evolve our business model and execute well."Bernie Szachara has been named general manager, overseeing the group that includes the Southern Oregon Media Group. During the past year with FTI Consulting, Szachara's clients included Advance Central Services, Yellow Pages Group (New Zealand) and Hearst Corp. Among his previous stops he worked for the Denver Post and Gannett.The Mail Tribune has been linked with Dow Jones for four decades. During that period, the newspaper evolved from a nine-column broadsheet produced with hot-lead type to a news product produced electronically and available online as well as in newsprint. Both the Medford and Ashland newspapers and their websites have produced award-winning content and Editor Bob Hunter anticipated similar efforts going forward."We don't really know what this will mean yet, but I do know that we have a group of professional, experienced journalists here and we intend to continue producing the best newspapers and websites that we possibly can," Hunter said. "That remains in our control and we don't intend to back off in our coverage in any way."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 Mail Tribune (Medford, Ore.)

Source: The Wisconsin State JournalSept.存倉 04--The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance projected Tuesday that insurance premiums in Wisconsin will rise, in some cases sharply, for individual health policies when the new federal exchanges take effect Jan. 1.The office said insurance premiums for a 21-year-old in Madison would jump 125 percent for an individual health care plan with a $2,000 deductible and drug coverage -- the largest increase across eight Wisconsin cities and three age categories. The smallest projected increase was for a 63-year-old living in Kenosha, who would see just under a 10 percent increase in premiums, the agency said.Critics, including Citizen Action of Wisconsin and ABC for Health, pounced on the projections, saying the administration of Gov. Scott Walker -- who is a vocal opponent of the Affordable Care Act -- was using misleading numbers to scare the public. Citizen Action executive director Robert Kraig called the numbers "fishy" and criticized the agency for failing to make available the data underlying the estimates."The data is surprisingly thin and unpersuasive as it's presented, and it's incomplete," Kraig said. "They're not even real numbers -- they're percentages."Deputy Insurance Commissioner Dan Schwartzer rejected that characterization, saying his agency was putting out the best information possible before Oct. 1, when sign-up under the private insurance exchanges begins."We are trying to educate in a nonpartisan way," Schwartzer said. "We're not trying to scare anyone, but we're not trying to sugarcoat it, either. We're just trying to put out as much information as possible about what's going to happen in October and January."Kraig said the estimates do not include several vital pieces of information needed to fairly compare the current cost of health care coverage to rates under the exchanges next year. Among the missing factors is how much premiums would be subsidized by tax credits for families earning up to $94,000 a year.Schwartzer countered that the size of the tax subsidies are "all over the map" depending on family size and income. He suggested that people can look up their subsidy rate at healthcare.gov.The comparisons released Tuesday involve the mid-level "silver" plan, Schwartzer said. The Kaiser Family Foundation has estimated tax credits will reduce the average sticker price for a "silver" family plan by 32 percent.That mea迷你倉s, Kraig said, that some of the theoretical consumers in the state's analysis actually will see the cost of health insurance drop."This doesn't help aid consumer education. It just confuses the matter for people," he said. "It's hard for me to see it as anything except a selective release of information to create rate shock to undermine confidence in the law among consumers."Bobby Peterson, executive director of ABC for Health in Madison, said Walker's refusal to set up the health insurance exchanges, forcing the federal government to do it instead, and the governor's opposition to so-called Obamacare also make him "suspicious" of the numbers. Indiana and Ohio -- whose governors have been vocal critics of the Affordable Care Act -- also have come under fire for allegedly putting out misleading cost projections.In a statement, Insurance Commissioner Ted Nickel acknowledged that the estimates do not factor in subsidies that will lower the cost of health insurance for some people. The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates about half of all consumers would qualify for government tax subsidies."With that said, from our analysis, it appears premiums will increase for most consumers," Nickel said in a news release. "And, while there is no question that some consumers will have subsidies and may not pay these higher rates, someone will pay for the increased premiums, whether it is the consumer or the federal government."In a phone call with reporters last month, MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, architect of the Massachusetts health care plan that is the blueprint for the Affordable Care Act, said just 3 percent of the Wisconsin population will need to use the health care exchanges. Most people have coverage either through their employer, Medicare or BadgerCare, the state's Medicaid program.Gruber said some people will face higher premiums under the Affordable Care Act since Wisconsin insurance companies "discriminate" in favor of young healthy people in setting rates. But he added that even if premiums rise, some people will pay less overall for health care because Obamacare requires all insurance plans to cover certain procedures and services not covered under the least expensive health care plans.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Wisconsin State Journal (Madison, Wis.)

Source: Portland Press Herald, MaineSept.self storage 04--PORTLAND -- With the City Council poised to decide whether it will sell most of a downtown plaza to a developer, activists on both sides of the debate plan to capitalize on the crowds expected at this week's First Friday Art Walk to drum up support before Monday's meeting.Meanwhile, members of Occupy Maine, which protested the perceived corporate takeover of government in 2011 with a four-month encampment in Lincoln Park, is calling for a three-day occupation of the nearly half-acre plaza at Congress and High streets."There should be a better balance between the rights of the public and big business," said Samuel Swenson, who has been active in the Occupy Maine movement since the beginning.The council will hold a public hearing and is expected to vote Monday on whether to sell two-thirds of Congress Square Plaza to Ohio-based developer Rockbridge Capital, which would like to build a single-story event center. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall.The 9,500-square-foot facility would be attached to the former Eastland Hotel, which is undergoing a $50 million makeover and will reopen in December as the Westin Portland Harborview Hotel.Rockbridge could purchase the plaza for nearly $524,000, while also contributing $50,000 toward a comprehensive planning effort for the Congress and High street intersection and $45,000 for sidewalk improvements.The proposed sale of the plaza has pitted many residents against business owners.Opponents want the plaza redesigned into a new park and see the sale as a shady back-room deal with a powerful, multinational corporation.Proponents, meanwhile, see the sale as an opportunity to provide a new convention space that will bring 300-400 visitors per event and provide new jobs, while leaving room for a smaller, but better plaza.The two sides have been debating the sale in public hearings and through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. But on Friday, both groups plan to set up shop in the plaza during one of the busiest nights of the month in the Arts District -- the First Friday Art Walk.On Friday, the Friends of Congress Square Park plan to collect signatures in hopes of forcing a citizen referendum to save the park and other downtown spaces.Holly Seeliger, who has been organizing events in the plaza over the summer and opposes the sale, said she is planning to host a performance of live music and a burlesque show from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday to draw attention to the cause.In addition to collecting signatures, Seeliger and the group Save Congress Square Park are looking to raise money through an online fundraising site, WePay, in an effort to match Rockbridge's offer and create an endowment to maintain a new park there."We've learned that money talks," said Seeliger.Meanwhile, members of Occupy Maine are p迷你倉anning a three-day encampment in Congress Square Plaza.According to a Facebook post, Occupy Maine plans to stay in the park from Friday night through Monday, before marching to City Hall for the council meeting. The group is seeking donations to get it through the encampment.Swenson noted the importance of the council's impending action."It speaks to what the original intention of what the Occupy movement was about -- standing up against big business and corporations and their affecting our government in every way," said Swenson, a 40-year-old painter and designer who lives on Munjoy Hill. "The city should be on the people's side."Parkside resident Jill Barkley, meanwhile, recently teamed up with David Farmer, a prominent Democratic operative who is working on U.S. Rep. Michael Michaud's campaign for governor, to promote the sale of the plaza.They have created the "Revitalize Congress Square" Facebook page and the "YesonCongressSq" Twitter handle to generate support.Barkley has been a supporter of the event center since it was presented in May. On Tuesday, Barkley acknowledged that she and Farmer are now being paid by Rockbridge for their advocacy.Bruce Wennerstrom, who will manage the Westin Portland Harborview and has represented Rockbridge during the negotiations, said the payment was a "token amount," but he did not know how much it was.Barkley said supporters of the sale will set up an informational table in the plaza on Friday and show passers-by images of the proposed event hall and potential concepts for the new plaza."It's important for the public to get involved in this issue on whichever side they see fit," said Barkley, who has previously testified to the council that the current park is unsafe.Portland Police Chief Michael Sauschuck said Tuesday he had not heard of any demonstrations being planned.One issue that both proponents and opponents seem to agree on is that the council will have a split vote on the issue. The council's Housing and Community Development Committee voted 3-1 in favor of the sale, with Councilors John Coyne, Edward Suslovic and Nicholas Mavodones Jr. in support and Councilor Kevin Donoghue opposed.Mayor Michael Brennan, meanwhile, has been supportive of the process and Rockbridge's proposal. Over the last year and a half, Brennan has mostly supported committee and staff recommendations.Meanwhile, Councilors David Marshall and John Anton said Tuesday they opposed the sale.Opponents view Councilors Cheryl Leeman and Jill Duson as the swing votes. Both said on Tuesday they haven't made up their minds yet.Randy Billings can be contacted at 791-6346 or at:rbillings@mainetoday.comTwitter: @randybillingsCopyright: ___ (c)2013 the Portland Press Herald (Portland, Maine) Visit the Portland Press Herald (Portland, Maine) at .pressherald.com Distributed by MCT Information Services文件倉

Source: The Miami HeraldSept.自存倉 04--BOCA CHICA KEY -- For many who live and work near Naval Air Station Key West, where fighter jet pilots train year-round, the "sound of freedom" has been brain-rattlingly loud since the arrival of the F-18 Super Hornets.The super-noisy fighter jets created a 10-year battle between the Navy and its neighbors. There have been many complaint calls to the base, zoning disagreements over new development, a county-issued "cease and desist" resolution, claims the Navy committed fraud and even a resident-led crusade with a website: stoptheplanes.com.Several base commanding officers have come and gone without finding a way to keep the peace with Monroe County and the community while training pilots and crews in air-to-air combat and carrier landings.But now it appears the battle is about to come to an end with the conclusion of a $1.5 million, three-year, federally required environmental impact study that determined that the next generation of aircraft, including the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that will replace the Super Hornet in the next few years, will not significantly affect wildlife or residents.Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus soon will select one of the final report's four options, which range from the status quo, with the introduction of no new-model aircraft, to allowing the new aircraft and up to 9,500 more "training operations" per year. The report recommended the choice that allows the new aircraft and up to 4,500 more training operations per year.Over the past 10 years, the Navy has conducted an average of 47,500 training operations a year out of NAS Key West.Takeoffs and landings are considered individual training operations. So if one Super Hornet practices carrier landings on the runway, then a single flight could constitute several such operations.Still, said former Monroe County Commissioner Kim Wigington, the report's recommendations are "all disappointing."Retired Navy pilot John Hammerstrom, who served on the community oversight committee for the study, was more blunt: "I think the Navy has committed fraud."It's not because he doubts the main conclusion of the 800-page study: The new aircraft will not be significantly louder than the current aircraft operating at the island base.Hammerstrom said the fraud stems from the Navy's falsely claiming that it properly evaluated the super-loud Super Hornets -- which were used as the baseline to compare against the noise levels of the new aircraft -- at NAS Key West."To say they did is a lie," Hammerstrom said. "I don't know how else to put it."Hammerstrom, who lives almost 100 miles away in Key Largo, spent hours researching the issue, amassing a long paper trail of public documents that appear to back up his case and that he has posted on his blog, johnhammerstrom.com.The Super Hornets first arrived at NAS Key West in 1999, when production models of the new jets were evaluated for tactical capability during a two-week detachment. They began regular training in squadrons at the base in 2003.In 2004, an update to the land-use plan changed flight patterns over the affluent Key Haven neighborhood. To mitigate the problem, the Navy instructed its pilots to make sharper turns. That led to other neighborhoods complaining that the Navy would not do the same for them. That's when resident Paul Caruso began his mission to halt the Super Hornets with the stoptheplanes.com website.But it was not until 2007, when the Navy and Monroe County were battling over whether to allow zoning for a proposed resort development near the base, that the Navy declared for the first time in Monroe County that a brief mention of the Super Hornets in the 500-page 2003 environmental assessment -- called "Maintenance Dredging of Key West Channel and Truman Annex Harbor" -- met the requirements of the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA).It was just three pages, and it was not included in the original draft. Just the noise technical study for the Joint Strike Fighter and other, quieter aircraft at NAS Key West was 169 pages long.An afterthought?Hammerstrom's paper trail seems to show the three-page section about the Super Hornets was introduced as an afterthought, sometime after the "Finding of No Significant Impact" was issued in April 2003.Regardless of the timing, county consultant Michael Davis, a former deputy secretary of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers who has done NEPA work for 33 years, including 23 with the federal government, said the section about the Super Hornets does not meet legal requirements.Davis pointed out that in 2003, the Navy conducted a full environmental impact study for the introduction of the Super Hornet to the East Coast. The 1,000-plus-page document found substantial impacts on the communities in Virginia and North Carolina, where the home bases for the new jets would be located."The Navy needs to demonstrate some physical reason it迷你倉新蒲崗is different at NAS Key West," Davis said a few months ago. "They'll have a challenging time doing that."In the final environmental impact statement, which was published Aug. 2, the Navy did not directly tackle the legality of the Super Hornet's evaluation at NAS Key West, but instead took the position that the current study was done correctly, based on the current situation at the base."What we did is include the FA-18 Super Hornets as part of the existing condition," said Ted Brown, spokesman for the U.S. Fleet Forces Command, which oversaw the study. "It's a forward-looking document, not a backward-looking document. It incorporates the new aircraft being added, with the baseline expressed accurately."But for many residents, it is like having a doctor determine a baseline of a patient's heart after the patient has had a heart attack.In 2009, a frustrated Monroe County Commission passed a resolution requesting that the Navy "immediately cease and desist" the Super Hornet operations until more noise studies could be conducted. The Navy did not comply.In 2011, the county rescinded the request in the hope that the new environmental impact study would address its many concerns, provide soundproofing assistance for homes in the affected areas, change flight patterns and use alternate runways that would take the sound more over water than over neighborhoods."The Navy had a great chance for a do-over," Wigington said.But it did not prove to be the case."My take," said Monroe County Administrator Roman Gastesi, "is the three significant issues we had were completely not addressed: the baseline, of course, the noise mitigation and using the alternative runway."The Navy says it does not use the alternative runway more often because it is shorter and because winds are usually more favorable on the main runway.Mitigation optionsThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also expressed concerns about high noise levels, and recommended residential mitigation (home buyouts and soundproofing) and "greater use of other available runways as weather and airfield operations permit."The Navy's response: "Congress has not given military services the authority to install soundproofing in homes and buildings that are not owned by the federal government." But it did say it takes measures to restrict noise, including limiting late-night flying to mission-essential activities.The Navy has its supporters in the Lower Keys, including one resident from Cudjoe Key who wrote this during the public-comment period on the environmental impact study: "Why do people buy, or build next to the runway, and then complain about the noise? . .. Just be thankful that the flag on the planes is that of the USA."The Boca Chica airfield at NAS Key West was built for civilian use. But in 1943, during World War II, the Navy took it over when most of the surrounding area was undeveloped.The Navy prizes the base, considered the premier location in the country to conduct air-to-air combat training, for its yearlong great weather, thousands of miles of unencumbered air space and tactical combat training center that allows pilots to review their training in real time.Economic boostAnd beyond being patriotic, Monroe County officials and residents know the value of the Navy, which has pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy.Still, for the few thousand who are affected by the noise, a little relief would be welcome.But unless Monroe County's last-ditch efforts -- which include pleading again for a face-to-face meeting with Mabus -- come through, it is not likely to get any quieter.Capt. Steve McAlearney, the new commanding officer at NAS Key West, said in a statement that the process to complete the study was a "very long and thorough one.""I won't speculate on what the secretary of the Navy's final decision will be," he said. "But any of the three alternatives offered will help to maintain NAS Key West as an ideal military aviation training site for Navy tactical aviation as well as other Department of Defense and federal agencies' missions."Wigington, who used to live near the base but moved, said she holds out hope that the Navy will provide more mitigation to alleviate the noise for her friends and former constituents."Honestly, it didn't seem this bad when I moved in 12 years ago," wrote Rose Jones, who grew up in a Navy family and now owns a home a few miles from the base in Big Coppitt Key."I wish I could enjoy open windows and the use of my porches and yards," she wrote in her submission to the public comments on the environmental impact study."However," she wrote, "I can live with the present situation, but increasing the activity level and/or the noise would make life in my neighborhood feel like living in a war zone."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Miami Herald Visit The Miami Herald at .miamiherald.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉出租
