McCaffery: Phillies the team to beat in 2013? Not without changes
WASHINGTON — Jimmy Rollins looked at the 2006 Phillies, their youth, their depth, their arms, their eyes, then bent over a microphone and said that the 2007 Phillies were the team to beat. Someday, when there is a statue of him at Citizens Bank Park, that will be inscribed on its base.
The team. To beat.
That was then, and it sounded good, and it was. That's because for the next five years, the Phillies ruled the National League East, mixed in a world championship, a pennant and a dozen bobblehead-worthy heroes before turning older and slower and too prone to warning-track outs.
So there was Rollins again Wednesday in Nationals Park after the Phillies had just lost, 5-1, to end a season when they were the team to beat 81 times. He was surrounded by different Phillies, and he was smothered in different results. But in what has become his trademark, he took a deep breath and made this declaration about the NL East, and its new champion, the Washington Nationals.
"Us being healthy," he said. "They are still second place."
The best team, he implied, still. The best team, even though the Nationals were still squeegeeing the champagne from their clubhouse carpets days after celebrating a division championship. The best team, regardless. It was less unsportsmanlike than it was typical. It was a little unnecessary in the moment, yet it was Rollins, as always.
But that was what the Phillies were trying to tell themselves after a miserable season, literally until its final innings. It is what Rollins was pronouncing in the room. It's what Charlie Manuel was humming in his office. It was the mental therapy the Phillies had been applying to themselves from Clearwater forward, reminding everyone that Chase Utley was injured and Ryan Howard was injured and Roy Halladay was injured, too.
A hard-luck season was their implication — a once-every-six-years fluke, baseball at its most cruel. Yet there was Cliff Lee, who'd just struck out seven in six innings, finishing the season with a 3.16 ERA but a 6-9 record, a victim all season of a shriveling offense. And when asked if the Phillies have what it takes to be champions again in 2013, he didn't exactly bring the high and inside heat.
"I don't know," the left-hander said, as if deep in thought. "I am not the GM. I know Ruben (Amaro) has a job that he's got to do. I think we need some pieces here and there. But for the most part, we've got the core pieces that it's going to take. I'm willing to bet that Ruben is going to go into this offseason and do everything he can to improve the team."
Amaro will have money to spend, and he should have a nod of approval to do that from Dave Montgomery, who already OK'd a max contract for Cole Hamels. He'll have a long offseason, giving Utley and Howard time to rest and grow healthy for one more championship push. But if believes the fantasy that all the Phillies need is an attitude adjustment, which is what he rambled about around this time last year, he will be lucky next October if he avoids a losing record. Continued...
"I think we are definitely going to have some changes on our roster," Manuel said. "We will try to get better and get back to a position where we think we can win our division and have a chance to win the World Series."
The Phillies scored in one inning of their final 2010 game, called it a season and said it would change.
The Phillies scored no runs in the final 2011 game, called it a season and said it would change.
The Phillies played their final 2012 game Wednesday, scored in one inning and called it a season … and then began to change their coaching staff, firing Sam Perlozzo, Pete Mackanin and hitting coach Greg Gross.
It's a start to an offseason that needs to be busy.
That's because when the Phillies say they are the team to beat now, it only sounds like something that someday should be on the base of a statue.

Mark Madsen hired to coach D-Fenders
May 13th, 2013, 11:52 am by By JANIS CARRFormer Lakers forward Mark Madsen, best known for his bad dancing, is looking to make leave a better impression with Los Angeles area basketball fans as a coach. Madsen was named coach of the D-Fenders on Monday.
Madsen, a first-round pick out of Stanford by the Lakers in the 2000 NBA Draft, played alongside Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant for three seasons, helping the franchise win back-to-back NBA championships in 2001-02.
It was at the Lakers' championship rallies that Madsen showed the fans his awkward dance moves, sealing his reputation as the anti-Michael Jackson.
"We are very pleased to announce Mark Madsen as the newest head coach of the D-Fenders," said team presiden Joey Buss. "Mark understands the emphasis we place on developing intelligent and skilled players who can contribute important minutes with the Lakers and in the NBA.
"We are confident that Mark's experience in the NBA will help us reach our goals, further establishing the D-Fenders as a franchise known for producing top NBA talent while competing at a championship level."

Modern and Contemporary Art Leda and the Swan 1923 Marie Laurencin, French, 1885 - 1956 Oil on canvas * Gallery 169, Modern and Contemporary Art, first floor 1978-173-1 Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. G. Chaplin, 1978 |
LabelLeda and the Swan was a popular subject for modern artists, who enjoyed its themes of transformation and seduction. According to Greek mythology, the god Zeus changed himself into a swan to seduce Leda, the wife of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta. In Marie Laurencin's version, which was influenced by her work for the Ballets Russes in Monte Carlo, Leda caresses the swan's feathered neck and back, yet the black railing that separates them suggests an insurmountable division between the sexes, perhaps reflecting Laurencin's own position as one of the few female artists within the French avant-garde.ProvenanceWith Galerie Paul Rosenberg, Paris (no. 758) [1]; with Galerie Druet, Paris [2]; Maurice J. Speiser (1880-1948), Philadelphia, by January 1934 [3]; Speiser sale, Parke-Bernet, New York, January 26 & 27, 1944, lot 93, (illus.); Charles C. G. Chaplin and Louise C.

No Apple watch until late 2014, analyst says
Consumers awaiting Apple's rumored wearable, watch-like device might need to wait until next year before the gadget sees the light of day.
That's according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said Apple "may not have adequate resources" to develop a version of iOS for the device given its efforts to revamp the software as part of iOS 7.
In Kuo's note to investors, which was excerpted by AppleInsider and MacRumors, he adds that the components going into wearable devices simply haven't matured, potentially pushing manufacturing into the second half of next year. He … Read more

Host Seth MacFarlane onstage at the 85th annual Academy Awards. (Robyn Beck / AFP/Getty Images / February 24, 2013) |
Wait, so the academy fired Brett Ratner from his gig as Oscars producer for making sexist and crude comments, but then, as Vulture's Kyle Buchanan smartly points out, allowed host Seth MacFarlane to make "that kind of un-PC humor the cornerstone of his whole act."
BuzzFeed has rounded up the nine most sexist moments of Sunday's Oscars, including MacFarlane's sophomoric boob song. And New York Magazine transcribed the most offensive barbs, in case you want to relive the horror.
Opinionators have also joined the conversation, analyzing Sunday's most offensive moments and discussing why jokes that belittle and objectify women matter.
FULL COVERAGE: Oscars 2013 | Winners
Here are three thoughtful takes.
In a commentary piece for Vulture, Margaret Lyons argues:
It's frustrating enough to know that 77 percent of Academy voters are male. Or to watch 30 men and 9 women collect awards last night. But MacFarlane's boob song, the needless sexualization of a little girl, and the relentless commentary about how women look reinforced, over and over, that women somehow don't belong. They matter only insofar as they are beautiful or naked, or preferably both. This wasn't an awards ceremony so much as a black-tie celebration of the straight white male gaze.
The New Yorker's Amy Davidson also shares her disgust and warns:
"Django Unchained" [MacFarlane] said, was "the story of a man fighting to get back his woman, who has been subjected to unthinkable violence. Or as Chris Brown and Rihanna call it, a date movie." Relationships are complicated, and it can take a woman more than one attempt to leave an abuser. But if any woman who goes back is told that she has forfeited sympathy and can be written off with mockery -- that the whole thing is now an amusing spectacle -- then we'll end up with more dead women. There are surely better things to joke about.
And the Atlantic's Spencer Kornhaber explains what's at stake:
Humor, after all, can be an incredible weapon for social progress, but it can also be regressive: The more we pass off old stereotypes, rooted in hate, as normal -- as MacFarlane did again and again last night -- the longer those stereotypes, and their ability to harm people, will be in place

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Michael L. Connor announced 44 projects in 11 states that will receive $20.8 million in WaterSMART Water and Energy Efficiency Grants from Reclamation. Reclamation estimates that together the 44 projects could save more than 100,000 acre-feet of water annually — enough for more than 400,000 people. Through reduced pumping and the addition of more efficient equipment, these projects are anticipated to save 10.8 million kilowatt-hours annually — enough energy to power nearly 1,000 households.
PUNTA GORDA, FLA. — Consulting firm Weiler Engineering Corporation was selected by the American Public Works Association (APWA) for the National Public Works "Project of the Year" for environmental projects over $75 million for the City of Marathon Sewer, Stormwater, Reclaimed Water and Road Rehabilitation project in Marathon, Fla. The award follows on the footsteps of the Florida Chapter APWA award for "Project of the Year" for the same project, as well as statewide "Consultant of the Year" for wastewater projects.
NEW YORK — New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner Carter Strickland announced that the recently completed installation of green infrastructure in the Edenwald section of the Bronx will prevent nearly 2 million gallons of stormwater from reaching the combined sewer system each year and thereby improve the health and cleanliness of the Hutchinson River and New York Harbor. As part of the $300,000 project, DEP worked with the Department of Parks and Recreation to build 22 bioswales to collect and absorb stormwater, along Schiefflin Avenue between East 226th Drive and East 229th Street.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — With 13 Republican and 13 Democratic co-sponsors, Congressman John K. Delaney (MD-6) introduced The Partnership to Build America Act (H.R. 2084). The Partnership to Build America Act creates a $50 billion dollar infrastructure fund that can be leveraged to $750 billion. This fund will be capitalized by the sale of 50-year bonds that are not guaranteed by the federal government and pay 1 percent interest rate. The fund will provide loans or loan guarantees to states and municipalities to finance transportation, energy, communications, water, and education infrastructure projects.
OMAHA, NEB. — HDR, Inc. was named the "2013 Employer of the Year" by WTS International, an association for the professional advancement of women in transportation. The Employer of the Year recognition is awarded to an organization that has enhanced the transportation industry through its commitment to excellence and quality in services or products, has an outstanding record of affirmative action in hiring and promoting at all employment levels, supports continuing education of its employees, and encourages women students to enter the transportation field by providing internship opportunities.
FAIRFAX, VA — Dewberry, a privately held architecture, engineering, and consulting company, acquired Bowyer-Singleton & Associates, Inc. Headquartered in Orlando, Fla., Bowyer-Singleton is a more than 90-person planning, engineering, environmental, and surveying and mapping firm, with four additional offices in the state.
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. — What to do with Marcellus shale wastewater is one of the biggest concerns in Pennsylvania, and few published studies have evaluated such wastewater effects on regional waters, according to a review co-authored by professors at the University of Pittsburgh and Penn State. Published online in the journal Science, the review stresses the need for scientific data on water pollution caused by hydraulic fracturing and cites a lack of monitoring stations and requirements concerning confidentiality as potential causes.
RESTON, VA. — A new U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) study documents that the Nation's aquifers are being drawn down at an accelerating rate.

DURHAM, N.C. — A new study by scientists at Duke University and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) finds no evidence of groundwater contamination from shale gas production in Arkansas. "Our results show no discernible impairment of groundwater quality in areas associated with natural gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing in this region," said Avner Vengosh, professor of geochemistry and water quality at Duke's Nicholas School of the Environment.
KANSAS CITY, MO. — The week of May 19-25, 2013, marks the annual celebration of National Public Works Week (NPWW), which is sponsored by the American Public Works Association (APWA) to raise awareness of the vitally important contributions of public works professionals and the crucial role that infrastructure, facilities, and services play in the quality of life in all communities.
CHICAGO — When it comes to flooding in cities, it makes little difference whether a property is located within a floodplain or not — damage happens, happens often, and can inflict significant costs.

ST. PAUL, MINN. — The board of the Stormwater Equipment Manufacturers Association (SWEMA) announced that the organization's 2013-1014 initiatives will focus on expanding its outreach program to help communities attain the goals of the Clean Water Act.
RESTON, VA. — U.S. topographic maps now have a crisper, cleaner design — enhancing readability of maps for online and printed use, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported. Map symbols are easier to read over the digital aerial photograph layer whether the imagery is turned on or off. Improvements to symbol definitions (color, line thickness, line symbols, area fills), layer order, and annotation fonts are additional features of this supplemental release. Users can now adjust the transparency for some features and layers to increase visibility of multiple competing layers.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. taxpayers paid nearly $100 billion responding to damages caused by last year's extreme weather events — drought, storms, floods, and wildfires — about $1,100 per taxpayer, according to an analysis by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). By paying nearly $100 billion, taxpayers — through the federal government — spent more on cleanup than on education or transportation, the analysis shows.
This second annual Rising Stars in Civil Engineering recognizes 15 professionals, 40 years old or younger working in the United States, who have shown exceptional technical capability, leadership ability, effective teaching or research, or public service benefiting the civil engineering profession, their employers, project owners, and society.

Penrith business bypasses banks to get growth funding
Last updated at 08:09, Tuesday, 03 July 2012
As the debate continues to rage about the willingness of high street banks to lend to small businesses one growing Cumbrian firm has shown there are alternative sources of finance.
Nick Balcombe who runs a mobile locksmith business, Monument Locksmiths based in Penrith, has received business funding from Enterprise Answer - Cumbria's only Community Development Finance Institution.
The loan of £10,000 was granted to Monument Locksmiths to fund its expansion plans. Initially Monument Locksmiths used the conventional route of trying to secure funding for the business via the banks, but drew a blank.
Then Mr Balcombe tried Enterprise Answers, working with business support officer Michelle Moore to assess business needs before securing the welcome injection of funding for Monument Locksmiths.
The loan has been used to buy a new vehicle, vital for the growth of the business. Monument Locksmiths has over twenty years of experience in the industry and cover the whole county.
Mr Balcombe said: "It is fantastic to be able to secure a business loan through Enterprise Answers. The assistance I have received from my business support officer has been really helpful in not only generating funds for my business, but also having someone who can help my business grow with additional support and advice, which you don't generally receive with a bank loan.
"The new vehicle will be more fuel efficient and need fewer repairs than my old vehicle, which will ensure my business is more reliable and continues to grow"
Monument Locksmiths has also been able to secure a new contract with the AA in their 'Key Assist' programme; which help drivers with lost, damaged or stolen vehicle keys.
Enterprise Answers, originally named CART (Cumbria Community Asset & Reinvestment Trust) began in 2005. Since, then it has been assisting businesses across the length and breadth of Cumbria, providing them with the finance they need to achieve their aspirations for growth and development. They also offer a range of additional support and advisory services to help businesses in Cumbria achieve their growth aspirations.
Michelle Moore said: "There are so many thriving businesses in Cumbria, who just need a bit of support, advice or cash injection to help them take their business to the next step. "Our aim is to help businesses seek out new opportunities, expand into new areas and grow successfully; helping them achieve their business aspirations."
Whether it's a new business, a social enterprise or existing business expansion, Enterprise Answers can provide loans ranging between £3,000 and £100,000 to help assist local business development.
To date, Enterprise Answers has lent over £3.5m in loans to small businesses across Cumbria. Previous businesses that have benefited from assistance from Enterprise Answers have included Nicki B Ltd, Mr Vicki's, Corrida Contracting Ltd, The Fox & Pheasant, Eden Conservation, Kendal Upholstery, Merienda Cafe Carlisle and Numech Engineering.

INDIANAPOLIS — Brittany Holbrook recorded 16 kills and a .394 hitting percentage and Meghan Bray finished with 14 kills and 13 digs as the Oakland volleyball team (15-12, 8-7 Summit) dropped a four-set match to IUPUI (20-9, 12-3 Summit) Friday night. The Golden Grizzlies lost with set scores of 25-21, 18-25, 25-27 and 15-25.
"This was a well played match by both teams," said head coach Rob Beam. "We needed to make a few more plays in sets two and three at critical times. Brittany Holbrook was outstanding tonight and again showed that she is among the elite middles in our league."
Taylor Humm recorded a team-high 14 digs and added nine kills, while Alli Kirk finished with 13 digs. Alissa Valentine earned a team-high 24 assists with seven digs and Ciara Schultz added 19 assists.
IUPUI used a six-point run to lead 7-3 in the early part of the first set but Oakland battled to close the gap to 21-20. OU would close the set by winning six straight points led by two kills by Holbrook to take a 1-0 lead in the match with a 25-21 set victory. The Jaguars cruised in the second set as they combined for a .308 hitting percentage and led by as many as seven to tie the match with a 25-18 set win.
The Golden Grizzlies won six out of the first seven points of the third set as Humm recorded three kills, but IUPUI would use a four-point run to close the OU lead to 11-10. Both teams battled for momentum until the teams were tied at 25-25. The Jags would win the next two points to win the set 27-25. IUPUI would dominate the final set as they held OU to a.040 hitting percentage and used an eight-point run to win the fourth set 25-15 and the match.
The Golden Grizzlies will travel to Western Illinois Sunday to face the Leathernecks in the final regular-season match of the season starting at 8 p.m.
If Oakland wins the match then they will clinch a spot in the Summit League Tournament in Fargo, N.D. next weekend.

'Argo,' 'Les Miserables' win best-picture Golden Globes
It was a very scattershot affair at 70th Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday Night in Beverly Hills. You can call the Hollywood Foreign Press a lot of things, but predictable isn't one of them.
The big screen adaptation of the longtime Broadway smash "Les Miserables" won three trophies, including best musical or comedy, while the best film drama was "Argo," something that isn't likely to happen at the Oscars. Ben Affleck, who was snubbed by the Academy Awards, was named best director for the film, a thriller about the rescue of six U.S. diplomats from Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis.
In the biggest no-surprise of the night, Daniel Day-Lewis won the Golden Globe for his portrayal of the 16th president of the United States in "Lincoln." He thanked screenwriter Tony Kushner for "immeasurable wealth of your language" and director Steven Spielberg for "an experience I will treasure the rest of my life." This was the only win for the film many consider an Oscar favorite. Perhaps.
Hugh Jackman was named best actor in a musical or comedy for his role as Jean Valjean in "Les Miserables." "My wife is the greatest woman in the world," he said, adding that when he thought about quitting the film, she talked him out of it. He thanked her "for always being right."
Jessica Chastain, who plays a CIA analyst on the hunt for Osama Bin Laden in "Zero Dark Thirty," was finally rewarded by Hollywood with the Globe for best actress in a drama. She credited the film's director Katheryn Bigelow for championing "powerful, fearless women."
Meanwhile, Jodie Foster's speech accepting her lifetime achievement award proved to be the emotional highlight of the evening. The actress, who began her career when she was 3 years old on a commercial as The Coppertone Girl, sat with her friend Mel Gibson during an introduction by Robert Downey Jr.
"Forty-seven years in the film industry is a long time," she said, and then launched into a winding speech that seemed to announce her retirement. Later on backstage, she denied that and said she plans to continue acting and directing. In a part of the speech that was blipped out, Foster addressed the fact that she is gay. "I am single," she joked as a confession. Then she talked about the right to privacy.
Jennifer Lawrence was named best actress in a comedy or musical for her role as a dysfunctional young widow in David O' Russell's "Silver Linings Playbook."
"What can I say but I beat Meryl?" she quipped after accepting the trophy. (One of her competitors was Meryl Streep.)
"And Harvey, thank you for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here today," she joked to Harvey Weinstein. The legendary producer is notorious for his endless awards campaigning. The young actress eventually did get a bit more serious, but her speech was refreshingly fun. Continued...
Weinstein had a decent night, as Quentin Tarantino won the best movie screenplay for the Weinstein-produced "Django Unchained."
"This is a damn surprise," said Tarantino. You think? Maybe not. The evening began with an upset when Christoph Waltz won best-supporting actor for "Django," beating favorites Tommy Lee Jones from "Lincoln" and "Django" co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. It was Waltz's second win.
Anne Hathaway was named best supporting actress in a film for her role in "Les Miz." She thanked Sally Field, a fellow nominee, for being a role model in her fight against typecasting women.
Globe hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler had a genuinely funny opening segment.
"Only at the Golden Globes do the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat-faced people of television," quipped Poehler.
And unlike with Ricky Gervais — the host of the last two years — no one in the audience seemed to feel uncomfortable about the duo's jabs at the HFPA.
There were few real humorous moments after that, except for Will Ferrell's and Kristen Wiig's introduction to the best actress in a drama award. The show itself had a disjointed quality in the way it handed out trophies, as if somebody was randomly picking categories out of a hat. It did, however, stick to its three-hour schedule. And former president Bill Clinton made a surprise appearance, introducing the "Lincoln" film clip.
Lena Dunham won best actress in a comedy series for a role she created on HBO's edgy "Girls." She thanked her fellow nominees, which included the two hosts, Fey and Poehler. "This award is for every woman who never felt there was a space for her," she said.
Dunham then became a two-time winner when "Girls" was named best TV comedy.
Don Cheadle was the best actor in a comedy series for his role as a leader of a group of a morally dubious management consultants on the Showtime's "House of Lies." Like many others in the night, he was an unexpected winner. Continued...
Showtime's thriller "Homeland" took home three awards, winning the best TV drama. New mom Claire Danes was named best actress. Pregnant during the filming, she thanked the costume crew for taking her pants out every week. British actor Damian Lewis won as best lead actor in a TV drama. He dedicated his win to his late mother.
As he was after his Emmy win, Kevin Costner was gracious when he won as best actor in a TV movie/miniseries for the miniseries, "Hatfields and McCoys."
"It's a great night to celebrate movies people might not have seen otherwise," he said.
Last year's Grammy darling and another new mom Adele took how the trophy for the best score for the title song to the James Bond film "Skyfall."
"I never thought I'd be saying thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press," she said.
Mychael Danna, who had no previous Globe or Oscar nominations, won the best score award for "Life of Pi" over Hollywood legend John Williams and his score of "Lincoln."
Veteran actress Maggie Smith, who was not there, won best-supporting actress for her role of the dowager countess on "Downton Abbey," the only win for the series.
The Globes got it right when it named the Emmy-winning "Game Change" — about Sarah Palin's vice presidential campaign — as best TV movie/miniseries. Julianne Moore won best actress for playing Palin in the HBO film (she also won an Emmy for the performance.) The actress gave a shout-out to Fey, who parodied the former Alaskan governor on "Saturday Night Live." Ed Harris, who portrayed John McCain, was named best supporting actor.
Oscar best picture nominee "Amour" was named best foreign film, while Pixar/Disney's "Brave," about a young Scottish heroine, was named best animated film.
This year the Golden Globes are more irrelevant than usual, thanks to the Oscars; in a stroke of one-upmanship, the Academy Award nominations were announced before the Globes ceremonies. Only seven of the nine Oscar best-picture nominees are among the 10 that landed on the Globes drama and music/comedy lists. Continued...
Some people, however, have always considered the Globes irrelevant. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has some 84 voting members with mixed pedigrees,
As a predictor of the Oscars, the Globes are somewhat spotty. They have only been right once in the past seven years about best picture, "Slumdog Millionaire," although they were 10 out of 11 before that. Overall, in the past 20 years, the Globes in all the major categories — picture, director, actors — are right about 60 percent of the time. There is way too much television left for the Globes to have any impact on the Emmys.

EDMONTON - The Alberta Utilities Commission will take about two weeks to consider any possible rate increases that would allow electricity companies to recoup non-energy costs frozen for the past 11 months.
"But it will likely be a month or two before any rate increase reaches customers," said Jim Law, spokesperson for the AUC. "If there is any significant cost, it will be spread out over time."
The AUC froze the fees for transmission and local distribution on household utility bills 11 months ago while the province undertook a review of the retail market. The freeze was lifted this week.
Edmonton-owned Epcor estimates about 25 cents a month will be added to recoup the costs after the AUC gives approval, said spokesperson Tim LeRiche.
Epcor, which sells power only through the regulated rate option and not fixed rate contracts, said it is confident the reforms will reduce volatility that saw the cost of power spike to 14 cents per kilowatt hour last February and go down to 7.52 cents this February.
Customers of Calgary-based Enmax will likely see about a 10-per-cent increase in the transmission and distribution fees to allow the company to recoup costs since the freeze, said Rob Hemstock, an Enmax vice-president.
The government will push ahead quickly with reforms aimed at beefing up oversight of construction costs to ensure that two new north-south power lines, approved last December, will be subject to the new rules, said Mike Deising, spokesman for Alberta Energy.
Energy Minister Ken Hughes wants the AUC to have new powers to oversee both Atco's new $1.6-billion eastern transmission line and Altalink's $1.4-billion western transmission line, said Deising.
"The minister wants Albertans to know the regulatory system is acting in their defence, especially with the big build ahead," he said.
Law said the AUC is pleased and called the proposed changes to regulations "substantial reforms."
Currently, the AUC is not allowed by government regulation to question a wide range of costs when companies come to a hearing to apply for rate increases to cover construction costs. The AUC must accept most of the costs submitted by the company as "prudent," and those costs can only be questioned if a third party intervener can make a case there is a problem.
Under Hughes's reforms, companies will have to prove the costs are reasonable and the AUC will be allowed to ask more questions and examine more costs.
Companies such as Altalink and Epcor, building the $614-million Heartland line to Strathcona County, say the AUC's new powers to scrutinize costs will likely cause little change because the companies already pay close attention to keeping construction costs the lowest possible.
"We've always worked in a prudent way and we have a reputation for keeping all costs low, so we welcome the opportunity to demonstrate our prudence," said Epcor's Doreen Cole, vice-president of electricity services.
On the $1.4-billion western line, Altalink is "already delivering the lowest costs," said spokesperson Scott Schreiner. "This (new oversight) confirms our commitment to low costs."
Altalink will apply to the AUC for rate increases to recover construction costs when the new north-south line is completed and in operation sometime in 2015. After that, customers will see an increase in their transmission fees, he said.
Companies building new power lines go to the AUC in two stages: first, when they present a forecast for what projects are expected to cost; and later, after the project is completed, they apply to the AUC for a rate increase to recover the actual costs.
In the early stage, the company must demonstrate forecast costs are prudent, but the forecast can have a margin of error of up to 30 per cent.
