Letters to the two women sent by AMPOhio attorney Charles R. Saxbe were posted on OCA's website as were the replies . Sax be's letter references statements allegedly made by Young and Buchanan. · Although Buchanan received a similar notice, in relation to Young, Saxbe states: "Although AMP-Ohio believes that you are aware ofthe false nature of statements refer~ enced above, this letter will serve as notice to you that those statements are false and that: AMP-Ohio has never stated that it will exceed the sulfur dioxide limits contained in its air permit to instali...AMP-Ohio has never nor does it plan to distribute coal wastes on roads, driveways , or schools ...AMP-Ohio continues pursuit of all necessary permits, authorizations and other approvals for construction of the American Municipal Power . Generating Station and already has sufficient participation in AMPGS to proceed with its development and construction." In her response, Young (as did Buchanan) defended her First Amendment right to · "voice my heartfelt objections to the impacts inherent to coal extraction and consumption that we are being forced to absorb on a daily ' basis." As for the "false statements" Saxbe alleged, Young said she has not intentionally made any false statements and "will be glad to clear up any misunderstandings that I may have had." Young also responded to the individual statements Saxbe referenced. Saxbe's letter took issue with seven statements made by Buchanan and OCA that AMP-Ohio feels are "false in nature." Saxbe's letter included several rebuttals including: "AMP-Ohio has never stated it plans to use coal obtained through mountaintop removal...participants in AMPGS. possess certain rights of advice and control over AMPGS. including participation in 'the Participants' Committee ... AMPGS will employ state-of-the-art technology that will meet all current, applicable environmental standards ...communities enacting ordi· nances to withdraw from AMPGS could not reverse such withdrawal through the mere passage of another ordinance. etc." Saxbe also felt that the OCA's website continues to carry references to the "Scott Balice Strategies Report that contains. in AMP-Ohio's view. a number of conclusions which are simP,IY wrong."

Proof is in the pudding: Foodmakers cut offerings . . AP FOOD INDUSTAY WRITER MILWAUKEE - If you want to see how the nation's foodmakers are weathering the recession, the proof is in the pudding. Kraft Foods Inc., the nation's largest food maker, will no longer sell ·HandiSnncks pudding to retail customers. At the same time, it's pushing new flavors . of its more lucrative Jell-0 pudding . Food companies from Sara Lee Food Corp. to H.J . Heinz Co. are trimming their offerings to focus marketing dollars on their higher-margin , best-selling brands and retain consumers. who are trading down in the recession . Those top brands are more likely to hold their own , and getting rid of lesser-performing brands helps companies showcase top products as retailers cut mventory. Heinz aims to remove two items for each one it introduces. Sara Lee hopes to cut its offerings 8 percent this fiscal year. It's all shaping up to mean fewer choices for consumers. But will they mind? Probably not, analysts say, noting that if these products had a big follow mg companies would keep them around. · The 'nation· s grocery shelves could stand some. Mark trimming, . said Gottfredson, head of the global Performance Improvement . practice at consulting firm Bain & Company. Much as the housing and technology industries experienced growth bubbles, grocery store shelves have been bursting with products in the past 10 years, he said~ They're strainmg with about 50 percent more products than I0 years ' ago, includini new formulas, • AP photo Jason Gourley of Omaha poses for a photo with his remaining supply of South Beach living frozen entrees, now discontin• ued by Krall, at his home in Omaha, Neb., Thursd~y. Feb. 12. flavors and sizes of existing lines. he said. The ' trend of cut'ting SKUs - or stock-keeping units, the unique identity each product carries - has caught on the past three or four years. It accelerated last year, Gottfredson s·aid, as companies homed in on their most profitable brands. Some companies are just selling lines: J.M .. Smucker Co. now owns the tormer Procter & Gamble Co. brands of Folgers cotfee, Jif peanut butter and Crisco shortening. But Heinz, maker of sauces and its namesake ketchup, . considers product cuts a key strategy to trim costs and improve pert'ormance, said Scott O'Hara, executive vice president for Europe, who oversees the company's global supply chain. The Pittsburgh-based company hopes to cut between 15 percent and 20 percent of its SKUs within three years, on top of a 50 percent cut from 2002 to 2006. Excess sizes, types and, , flavors of products increase the cost of everything from marketing and production to sales, O' Hara said. And , during the recession , it's particularly important to conserve cash. "The more we can simplify, . while clearly meeting our customers' needs, the better off we are and the more cost we can drive out of business," he said. Cutting products was key to snack maker Lance Inc.'s ·turnaround plan, said CEO David Singer. About three years ago, the Charlotte, N.C.-based company doubled its offerings by buying a fellow snack maker with about 400 products. But it now offers alxiut 350 in all, and Singer said the strategy has paid off. Lance's fiscal 2008 sales were $852.5 million , up nearly 12 percent from the previous year. "That helped us bel:ome less complex,'' he said. "That's one of the things in the turnaround you do, is you try to get your business to be a lot less complex." • ' It's not easy to choose WhiCI) prodUCts tO CUt, Said Gottfredson, who advises companies miling these decisions. It can take a year if heavy consumer research is involved. "You have to be very thoughtful. You've got io be really good at tile customer research," he said. "If you do it well, it will drive your sales," Most profit for many companies is concentrated in a small number of brands anyway. It's not uncommon, he said, for 20 percent of a company's products to account for 80 percent of its profit,ability. . Now vanishing' are items that companies already have pulled away from as they limit prec1ous marketing dollars, said Christopher Shanahan, a research ana- · lyst with Frost & Sullivan. "There's not going to be a lot of support for a lot of the product line extensions in the last five years that are not really doing that well," he said. Sometimes, cuts spur customers to rally, as Hydrox fans did online after Kellogg Co. discontinued the cookies in · 2003; the company brought them back temporarily last year. But when MillerCoors announced last · fall that it won't make Zima anymore, citing weakness in the "maltemative" segment, there was no backlash. · The phase-out of HandiSnacks puddings and KoolAid gels - a gelatin .product modeled after Kool-Aid drink mix - started in December after domestic revenue from the two lines had fallen by a third since 2005, according to company spokeswoman Renee · Zahery. Both lines will be available on a smaller scale in Canada and in foodservice outlets in the U.S. .' WASHINGTON (AP) - The deepening recession spells trouble for a little-known government corpora~on that insures.the pensions of 44 million workers and retirees. The Pens1on . Be~fit Guaranty Corp. already has an Sll · billion deficit that ~eems sure to grow larger as Corporate America suffers tluough the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression . With companies reporting shortfalls in their pension fi!nds, . it's all but certain that the PBGC will be forced to take over the pension plans of a rising number of bankrupt businesses. That means more red ink at the cQrpOration before things possibfy can improve. · The future financial health of the agency is hard to forecast. It is hinged on interest rates. the len~th of the recession and the PBGC's own luck in playmg the market, where it has billions invested. The agency h~s .S63 billion in assets . .But it is obliga~ed to spend $74 bllhon on pens1on benefits m the commg years. The PBGC might have time to rebound, but over the IQng ·term it might become insolvent and require a bailout. "Someday -' probably more than 20 years from now there's a significant chance that somebody is going to have to pay the piper," said former PBGC. Director Charles El'. Millard , a Bush ·administration appointee who stepped down on Jan. 20 when Barack Obama became president. "In the near- to medium-term. there will be no need for a bailout of PBGC." . The PBGC quietly operates in a brick office building a few blocks from the White House. Its fate is imponant to the workers covered br the more than 29,000 employersponsored benefit pens1on plans it insures, and to all taxpayers who could be asked to foot the bill if its financial picture worsens down the road. · . Congress created the PBGC in ·1974 to guarantee the retirement security of workers covered by define4 benefit pension plans. These tl'l!ditional plans, which pay a speci. fied monthly benefit at retirement. are being phaSed out as companies turn to 40 I (k)-style progiams that require worko ers to make contributions and shoulder investment risks. The PBGC, which receives no tax dollars, gets its money from premiums paid by companies that sponsor the pension plans, along with revenue from its investments. · The corporation's balance sheet has taken heavy hits in !OCent ye~rs. ~ine of !he 10 .largest pensio':l ~ian terminatiops m PBGC s h1story, mcludmg Umted Airlines, 'Bethlehem Steel and Kaiser Aluminum, have occurred since 2001. · When a plan is terminated, the PGBC takesover and pays benefits to the retued ,workers. But they might not get 'the full amount that their employer promised. The maximum guaranteed amount currently is $54,000 a year for a person rehnng at age 65. . · . ·· Some pension experts shrug their shoulders at Jhe PBGC's $1 I billion deficit, noting that the 35-year-old cor~ poration. has been operating at a deficit for most of its exis• tence. They say the PBGC has many years to recoup its losses and fulfill its obligations to pensioners. ~ "Every time the economy bounces around, everybody acts like everything is going to collapse and that ther, should worry about the PBGC, and then things come back,' says Dallas Salisbury, president of the Employee Benefit . Research Institute in Washington. : Others who pore over the PBGC annual reports predict a bailout is inevitable. · · ·· • ; "Barring some absolutely phenomenal gains in the market or what PBGC's new or future investment strategy comes up with, the PBGC will need taxpayer money a) some pomt in time," said David John, a pensions expert at the conservative Heritage Foundation. : For now, the PBGC, which is awaiting a new boss, will remain on the Government Accountability Office's''high risk" watch list for the seventh consecutive year because of worries that the economic crisis could mean more pension plan terminations and swell the PBGC's deficit. Takin~ .over the pension plan of General Motors Corp., which JUSt announced it will cut IO,OOO salaried jobs; would more than double the PBGC's current $11 billion deficit. But the PBGC also would inherit substantial assets · , from the automaker's pension fund. · Companies that liave underfunde4 ·pension plans, but are . otherWise, on solid finll:"ci~ footing, JlOSI: little risk for the PBGC. It s the compames m danger of going .under that present the biggest threat. But declines in the market have left corporate pension plans severely underfunded - to the tune of $409 billion, according to Mercer, a global consulting firm. The underfunding trend is likely to ·continue. Even though Congress passed a law in 2006 requiring companies to meet target dates.to eventually fund I00 percent of their pension obligations~ those restrictions were relaxed in December to help them weather the bad economic times. The business 'community is lobbying to further waive the rule~ during the current econo~ic sl~mp. Because of plum- · metmg asset values, compames th1s year are faced witl,l having to contribute to their pension funds two to three . time~ what they had expected, said Aliya Wong, director qt pens1on pohcy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. · "Because this is coming out of the bottom line, companies are making decisions not just about freezing their penSion plan.s but whether they can even·continue in business,'' Wong sa1d. · · The PBGC successfully shaved nearly $3. billion off its defi~it in the 2008 budget year, which ended Sept. 30, pri~ manly because 13 auto parts makers reorganized and did' · n't dump their pension liabilities on the institution. Those gains were recorded before the market tanked. Still, Millard insists that a new investment strategy, which allows the PBGC in inve~t more aggressively. in stocks and alternative investments, makes it less likely that it will need a multibillion-dollar congressional bailo\11. : PageA3 The Daily Sentinel Tuesday,Februaryt7,2oo9 Government pension agency braces for recession.

Special Master Denise Vowell of the U.S. Court of Claims coneluded the families, who had qoped to win compensation, were "victims of bad science." That won't necessarily stop the .small but vocal movement of anti-vaccine parents that includes actress Jenny McCarthy, whose son has autism. Also among the naysayers are Jim and Jennifer Hansel of suburban Cincinnati, who decided not to get their 7-year-old son vaccinated after their older son developed autism . The older boy, now II , began showing signs of autism within a month of his measles-mumps-rubella vaccine when he was one year old·, said Jennifer Hansel , who blames the vaccine for the developmental disability. ·, She says her ypunger son will be vaccinated before he ~oes to college, once his 1mmune system is more developed . ' "Would. I rather have my child get measles than push him into autism? Yeah,' she said. "I'm definitely much more worried about autism than measles."

I' million citizens, evenly divided ~et~een Jews · and Arabs. · There, Rabbi Marc Rosenstein has created a bilingual Internet newspaper with Hebrew and Arab1c sections that he describes as "a safe space characterized by openness, fairness ; and balance where all opinions can be expressed, civilly." This bridge of a newspaper is named Dugrinet. ("Dugri" means "straight talk" in both Hebrew and Arubic.) The steering committee of what could be a model for other sections of the world - where spacious, continuous dialogue .cim be far · more durably effective than violence - is composed of · Jewish and Arab educators, journalists and community · activists.

Rosenstein explains his motivation . "We· believe it can be a catalyst for bringing together people from throughout this region with a distinct geographical identity - but each community and sector has been living in its . own bubble.
