Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' Barred from Arizona Schools
Arizona is once again getting national attention for its politics. Salon.com and the Wall Street Journal report that William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” is among the books that are now barred from Arizona classrooms.
The new law banning ethnic studies has forced the Tucson Unified School District to terminate its 13 year old Mexican-American Studies program rather than lose millions of dollars in state funding. One of the program’s former teachers says she asked if she could start teaching “The Tempest.” She was told no, because of its themes of colonization, enslavement and racism.
Another book that has been removed is “Rethinking Columbus: The Next 500 Years,” which includes an essay by award-winning Tucson author Leslie Silko. The book’s editor Bill Bigelow says the only other time one of his books was banned was when the apartheid government in South Africa banned a book that included a speech by Nelson Mandela.
The Tucson Unified School District has responded by saying that the books that were removed from the classroom are still available in the District’s library system. The statement also says the books will be considered for possible use in the 2012-2013 school year.

Freeport McMoRan 4Q Profits Drop

Proposed Bill Would Allow Public Schools to End Free Lunches
A state Senate panel has approved a bill that would let schools opt out of the federal program that offers free and reduced price lunches for needy students.

The Senate Education Committee approved the bill by a 6 to 1 vote. It now goes to the full Senate.

Wikipedia and Other Websites Plan 'Blackout' on Wednesday
Wikipedia has announced that it will black out the English language version of its website on Wednesday to protest anti-piracy legislation in Congress. It will shut down access from midnight Eastern Standard Time (10:pm MST) Tuesday night until midnight Wednesday.
Critics of the proposed legislation say it goes way beyond cracking down on the sale of pirated US products. They say the language of the two similar bills in the House and Senate restricts freedom of speech, creativity and innovation. They also say that eventually only those with the financial resources to fight legal challenges would be able to speak.
The Reddit and Boing Boing websites are also planning to blackout their services on Wednesday. Many other tech companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter are also strongly opposed to the legislation, but they are not participating in the blackout.
The White House has also expressed opposition to parts of the proposed legislation.

APS Bills May Decrease 1 Percent
Arizona Public Service Company customers could see a 1% drop in their average bill this year. If the Arizona Corporation Commission approves it, there will also be no base-rate increases until 2016.
Last June, APS requested a 6.6% rate increase. But low natural gas prices and pressure from consumer groups brought about a better deal for ratepayers.
The Arizona Republic reports that APS has signed an agreement with 20 large customers, consumer groups and other stakeholders. APS agreed to the changes in return for financial incentives for the company to promote energy efficiency. The agreement still must be approved by the Corporation Commission.
Several components of your bill would increase starting next year, but not in the one large increase that APS requested.

Researchers Link Low Vitamin D Levels to Depression
Researchers at the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas have linked low levels of vitamin D to depression. Science Daily reports that the findings suggest that it might be useful to screen for vitamin D levels in depressed patients—and perhaps to screen for depression in people with low vitamin D levels. But the study did not determine if increasing vitamin D levels reduces depression.
Low vitamin D levels are already considered risk factors for other medical problems, including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, certain cancers; and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

Tonto National Forest Travel Management Environmental Assessment
Tonto National Forest officials are seeking comments on the Travel Management Environmental Assessment.
In 2005, the Department of Agriculture enacted a planning rule to manage motorized vehicle use on national forests and grasslands. This rule requires the Tonto National Forest to designate those roads, trails, and areas that are open to motor vehicle use.
Based on previous public input, several alternatives are proposed in the draft Environmental Assessment. The final product will be a Motor Vehicle Use Map that shows which roads and trails will be open to motor vehicle use. The decision will also amend the Tonto National Forest Plan.
A copy of the travel management environmental assessment can be found at the forest web page.
The 30-day comment period began January 6. Comments may be submitted by phone, on the Internet, by email and by postal mail.
