 resources in Minnesota. Neither PolyMet nor the agencies have evaluated less damaging alternatives (like dry-stack tailings), an assessment that is required by law. The PolyMet project has an insufficient plan for financial assurance and would require perpetual treatment of polluted wastewater.
Gaps in the PolyMet Final EIS and PolyMet’s failure to meet legal requirements are just beginning to be exposed as state and federal agencies begin to evaluate potential permits. The more carefully experts and regulators examine the PolyMet record, the less likely it will be this open-pit copper-nickel mine project will be permitted.
The PolyMet project is nowhere near the finish line. It is just reaching the starting gate. There will be many stumbling blocks ahead.
Please call Governor Dayton today (651-201-3400) and ask him not to allow permits for the PolyMet sulfide mine. Then, stay with us in this important struggle to protect Minnesota fish, wild rice, wetlands, human health, tribal resources and the legacy of clean water for future generations. Now, more than ever, we need to work together to protect Minnesota fish, wild rice, wetlands, human health, tribal resources and the legacy of clean water for future generations.

I am quite appalled at the socialization of risk and the narrow privatization of rewards that is business as usual. If you are looking to do something for Minnesotans, pick sustainable businesses and socialization of rewards, that is taxes, better health, cleaner water, less damage. We are interested in businesses that can release water that is cleaner than when they received it. Less thoughtfulness looks like short term policies, corruption, greed, dereliction of duty and ignorance of outcomes. No more dumping our problems into the future.The MacBook. Its here. Finally. And its exactly as predicted by MacRumors and other sources. The new MacBook replaces the ibook – of which i have had two. It comes in white or the more expensive, slightly faster, slightly bigger 80 Gig HD in the wicked color BLACK, which seems better looking but i am not sure if is worth the extra price. No modem, but I dont think a modem is really needed in our WiFi world. Not for me, anyway.
I reckon its an excellent buy if you go for the cheapest option with 1 Gig RAM (add $100 or £70). Aren’t you glad you waited?
yes.. but.. if only you had waited!
yeah.. modem for the home machine (desktop). but i rarely use a modem when i am travelling, esp. outside the country.
saving 50 on the modem would make sense to me.James J. Augsburger, MD, is the Dr. E. Vernon and Eloise C.

Check out Fraeona’s recipes below for a selection of superb side dishes to serve up with Hellers Hot + Spicy Pork Ribs!
There are several ways to cook your corn on the cob and the most simple of course is to simmer in boiling water until tender. I love to bbq mine, the little charred kernels from the flame are the best bits! You can remove the husk completely then cook over a medium flame turning often till tender and slightly charred. Baste with your favourite brilliant butter recipe – a great trick from Thailand is to insert a long thick kebab stick into one end for easy turning! If you want to cook them in the husk straight onto the bbq then it is a good idea to soak them in cold water for 10 mins to prevent the husks from burning. They should take approx. 30mins to cook.
In a bowl combine 150g softened butter, 1-2 tbsp good-quality Mango Chutney and the juice of ½ a lime. Roll up into a long cylinder with baking paper and chill – slice into discs to serve on top of your cob or place in a serving bowl and smear over the cob with a knife.
In a bowl combine 125g softened butter, 80g gorgonzola roughly chopped up into small pieces [at room temperature] and 2 tbsp good-quality Quince Jam. Roll up into a long cylinder with baking paper and chill – slice into discs to serve on top of your cob or place in a serving bowl and smear over the cob with a knife.
In a bowl combine 150g softened butter, 1 tbsp each of freshly chopped chives, dill, Italian parsley and basil. Add the juice of ½ a lemon and 6 finely chopped garlic confit cloves. Roll up into a long cylinder with baking paper and chill – slice into discs to serve on top of your cob or place in a serving bowl and smear over the cob with a knife.
Green Papaya + Pineapple Mint Salsa Salad.
This is a really refreshing salad that compliments the Hellers Hot + Spicy Ribs, it has a sweet tang with a kick of lime and mint which balances it out beautifully.
Start by preparing a pineapple, remove the entire husk then cut into quarters through the top. Remove core and then flat side down cut into thin slices through each quarter. Place in a large bowl squeeze ½ a lime over it and give it a toss. Now do the same to 1 green papaya. Peel, deseed and shred it [julienne] and add to the pineapple. Add ½ a red onion finely diced, 2 spring onions thinly sliced on a diagonal, 3-4 large handfuls of baby spinach leaves and 1 large handful each of freshly chopped mint and coriander.
Finish with a squeeze of the remaining lime and add another if you think it needs it. I don’t like to add any oil to this salad as it keeps it clean and fresh on the palette. This salad can be made a few hours ahead of time, just add the baby spinach leaves and more fresh herbs before serving.
This is a very simple and tasty salad that relies on great presentation.
To make the ranch dressing place 2/3 cup of buttermilk and ½ cup of good-quality mayonnaise [I like to use Best Foods Mayo] into a small bowl. Add a handful of freshly chopped Italian parsley and a small handful of freshly chopped dill, 1-2 garlic clove minced the juice of ½ a lemon, sea salt and cracked pepper to taste. Mix well together and set aside in the fridge.
Now grill 8 pieces of Hellers streaky bacon until crisp and golden, cut into finger width strips and set aside.
Take a whole iceberg lettuce and thump it on the bench core side down. This is a great trick to remove the core – now just grab it, wriggle it and pull the core loose. Cut the iceberg in half from top to bottom and place it flat side down. Thinly slice across both halves [top to bottom] and then carefully transfer the lettuce [in the shape it has been cut do not break it all up] to a long rectangular platter or similar shaped wooden serving board. Gently pull it apart so that it remains rectangular but has some gaps between each slice.
Sprinkle the crispy bacon generously all over it stuffing it between the ‘cracks’ of lettuce and then drizzle generously with the ranch dressing. Finish by sprinkling generously with large parmesan shavings, finely chopped Italian parsley, a squeeze of lemon, sea salt and a twist of crack pepper.
When in season this salad is amazing if you can use fresh peas and jersey bennies but equally as good all year round with normal gourmet potatoes and frozen peas.
To pickle your mustard seeds place in a small saucepan 1 cup cider vinegar, 1 cup water, 50g yellow mustard seeds, 1 star anise and 40g caster sugar. Bring to a very gentle simmer and cook 30-40 minutes stirring occasionally till the seeds are tender
