The cats of LakeClan have not always held their lush territory. Only seasons ago they were hardened city dwellers. Now the cats that drove them from the streets has pursued to the new territory, and their fighting force is large. Can LakeClan survive?

Coal-Fired Power Plants Virtually Extinct in New England

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. ? Tiffany Mellers jogs behind her two daughters as they pedal their bikes along a ribbon of packed sand along Long Island Sound. ?They are good girls,? Mellers said. ?They deserve a healthy life.?

Behind them, a 500-foot tall candy-stripe smokestack, a fixture of Bridgeport?s waterfront for nearly five decades, rises in the distance. A third generation of residents is now growing up in its shadow.

But today this old giant is merely a vestige of the region?s coal-fired past. New England is virtually coal-free.

For some, the red-and-white stack of Harbor Station conjures memories of a prosperous industrial past. But for Mellers, it?s a reminder that this largely poor and minority city has borne a heavier pollution burden over the past half-century than its wealthier neighbors. Nearly 40 percent of children in Bridgeport grow up in poverty, more than three times the rate in the rest of Fairfield County. And 14 percent ? substantially higher than the national average ? have asthma, including Mellers? two daughters.

Today, Harbor Station looks lifeless as Tiffany and her daughters play on the beach. Like most of New England?s coal plants, it now runs infrequently. Last year, it operated at only 4 percent of its capacity, down from about 86 percent in 2008.

Jeff Kohut, a lifelong Bridgeport resident, said the last time he can remember smoke spewing from the plant was two years ago, during a waterfront baseball game.

??Going back to the 1960s and early 1970s, Bridgeport was quite prosperous in an industrial sense. There were more factories and smoke-belching power plants,? Kohut said. ?Even back then it was considered sort of the dirty ragamuffin step child of Fairfield County, so the negative environmental image goes quite a way back.?

A changing fuel mix
Last week President Obama launched a major drive to limit carbon pollution from power plants in a bid to stem climate change. At the program's core: A directive to develop federal carbon emissions rules for new and existing power plants.

New England, in some ways, is ahead of the curve. Many aging New England coal plants, which emit large quantities of soot and mercury as well as planet-warming greenhouse gases, have retired in the past decade or converted to natural gas. Of the six still connected to the region?s electric grid, two are in the process of closing.

Stringent environmental regulations and a steep drop in the cost of natural gas in recent years caused this dramatic change in the region?s energy profile.

The change comes with tradeoffs. Tax rolls will take a hit in some communities, while an increased reliance on natural gas has some experts raising questions about the role this alternative fossil fuel, which comes with its own set of environmental issues, should play in the transition from coal.

?Natural gas is killing coal plants, but more natural gas infrastructure may be adverse to health and climate in the long run. That?s the paradox,? said N. Jonathan Peres, an attorney for the Boston-based Conservation Law Foundation.

In 2000, coal accounted for roughly 18 percent of the region?s electricity generation while natural gas accounted for about 15 percent. In 2012, just 3 percent of New England?s electricity was generated by coal, while 52 percent came from natural gas. Another 13 percent was from renewable fuels, such as hydroelectric and solar power.

The New England trend mimics a nationwide one. In 2003, coal provided 51 percent of all electricity in the United States, compared with 37 percent last year.

?A collapse in gas prices and minimal load growth in the region have done a lot to displace what coal there was,? said David Schlissel, a regulatory attorney and electric utility rate consultant in Massachusetts.

Obamas tour Mandela's island jail before Africa speech

By Jeff Mason and Mark Felsenthal

CAPE TOWN | Sun Jun 30, 2013 3:57pm BST

CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama and his family visited South Africa's bleak former prison of Robben Island on Sunday to pay tribute to ex-inmate Nelson Mandela, now critically ill in hospital.

Obama was expected to later cite the legacy of Mandela, who was imprisoned on the windswept island for most of the 27 years he spent in jail before becoming the country's first black president, in a speech at the University of Cape Town.

Current South African President Jacob Zuma was also held at the notorious jail off Cape Town's coast under the apartheid regime, which ended in 1994 with Mandela's election victory.

In sunny weather, the U.S. president flew by helicopter with his family to the island, which is surrounded by the frigid, shark-infested waters of the South Atlantic.

His party drove a short distance to the former prison's lime quarry, where Mandela and other prisoners toiled for years.

Their guide, 83-year-old former inmate and anti-apartheid activist Ahmed Kathrada, spoke about his time there with Mandela and other African National Congress prisoners.

Obama told his daughters the idea of non-violent resistance, an important tactic in the U.S. civil rights movement, had taken root in South Africa where its chief proponent Mahatma Gandhi worked as a lawyer before returning to India.

HERO

On Robben Island, Obama also again visited Mandela's cell, repeating a previous visit he made as a U.S. senator in 2006.

After touring the former prison, Obama and his wife Michelle signed a guest book in which Obama wrote: "On behalf of our family we're deeply humbled to stand where men of such courage faced down injustice and refused to yield.

"The world is grateful for the heroes of Robben Island, who remind us that no shackles or cells can match the strength of the human spirit."

The 94-year-old Mandela's struggle with a lung infection has been a sombre backdrop to Obama's eight-day Africa trip. South Africa says his condition is "critical but stable".

Obama met Mandela's relatives in Johannesburg on Saturday to deliver a message of support instead of directly visiting the frail former president at the hospital where he has spent the last three weeks.

The U.S. leader describes Mandela as a "personal hero", and has reminded audiences in Africa that his first political activism was to urge his U.S. college to divest itself of South African investments to protest against apartheid.

In his speech at the university, Obama was expected to look back to an address U.S. Senator Robert Kennedy gave in Cape Town in 1966 comparing the struggle to overcome apartheid with the U.S. civil rights movement.

Some protesters gathered outside the University of Cape Town ahead of Obama's speech, holding placards attacking U.S. foreign policy reading "Obama mass killer" and "End drone wars now".

POVERTY AND CORRUPTION

Obama, the first African American president, is expected to remind a young audience at the university that Mandela and the U.S. civil rights movement persevered against daunting obstacles in bringing social change that many thought impossible.

The U.S. president will then challenge his audience not to be content with progress so far but to push ahead with battles to lift Africans out of poverty, combat government corruption and improve health and living standards across the continent.

He will also aim to restore some of the lustre of the U.S. relationship with Africa by stressing the U.S. desire to move beyond being an aid donor toward greater economic partnerships.

The speech comes in the middle of an Africa trip taking Obama to Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania.

Obama has sought to use the trip to emphasise Africa's potential as a business partner for the United States and to overcome the perception that he has ignored the continent.

Many Africans are disappointed that despite the U.S. president's Kenyan ancestry, his only previous visit to the continent while in office was to Ghana in 2009.

In his speech, the president will unveil a $7 billion U.S. initiative to double access to electric power on a continent where only one in three people have electricity.

While in Cape Town, Obama will also visit a health centre to highlight U.S. efforts to combat HIV/AIDS on the continent, which have contributed to a 32 percent drop in the number of AIDS-related deaths in Sub-Saharan Africa from 2005 to 2011.

'Anna Nicole' Movie Reviews ? Does Lifetime Film Live Up To Real ...

Courtesy of Lifetime

Lifetime was at it again on June 29, premiering their latest based-on-real-life movie with the tragic story of the troubled star, Anna Nicole Smith. The source material was high drama to begin with ? so did the TV flick live up to the real story?

Say what you want about Lifetime, but they found their groove and they?re sticking to it.?Anna Nicole, which premiered on June 29, is just the most recent installment of the camp-y, overly dramatic made-for-TV movies that Lifetime does so well. We at?HollywoodLife.com?called Lifetime?s story of?Anna Nicole Smith ?crazy, wild fun? and a ?roller coaster ride of drugs, alcohol, and tragedy,? but did the rest of the critics like it as much as we did?

?Anna Nicole? Reviews

Variety

Anna Nicole?isn?t really about anything in the conventional sense, but still manages to be as hard to turn away from and vaguely sleazy as its namesake, which should suit Lifetime?s purposes just fine. If nothing else, the movie appears destined to win some kind of award for most convincing prosthetic cleavage, allowing Agnes Bruckner to play the Playboy and Guess jeans model in her pre- and ?build-on? breast stages, flanked by a perfectly cast Martin Landau and Adam Goldberg as the unlikely men in her life. As guilty pleasures go, this one certainly doesn?t lack for moments at which to hoot.

New York Post

On Saturday night, Lifetime blows out the doors with Anna Nicole, a true-life movie so good, so well-written and yet sleazy enough to satisfy even the cheesiest viewers among us.

The Hollywood Reporter

It was in 2007 that?Anna Nicole Smith, aka Vickie Lynn Hogan, the small-town Texas girl who grew up to embody one of the most spectacularly unfortunate public meltdowns of modern Hollywood, died from a cocktail of prescription drugs at the age of 39. That rags-to-riches story is an old Hollywood fable continuously reflected in a constant rotation of bright young things. But?Anna Nicole?manages to breathe new life into the tale of yet another young woman with a misplaced?Marilyn Monroe?obsession that turns into a curse.

Boston Globe

The movie, which premieres on Saturday at 8, has nothing to offer. It?s storytelling at its most shallow and unsatisfying. Written by John Rice and Joe Batteer and directed by Mary Harron, Anna Nicole barely conveys the basic facts of Smith?s life, never mind any bigger ideas about her private terrors and our cultural demons. Bruckner is fine as Smith, and her prosthetic breastplate is quite impressive; but the script gives her nothing of substance or with resonance.

So besides one scathing review, everyone seems to be on board with us! We hope you set your DVRs to record?Anna Nicole?or that you can catch a rerun, because it?s definitely worth a viewing.

HollywoodLifers, did you see?Anna Nicole? What did you think? Let us know!
