Nickel glut is bad news for mining plans in state
http://www.startribune.com/business/123787624.html
Nickel, a metal that two companies have considered mining in Minnesota, is heading for the biggest glut in four years, driving prices lower into 2012

Next year's surplus will rise to 60,000 metric tons from 12,000 tons in 2011, making nickel the most oversupplied metal relative to output or use, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, the most-accurate forecaster tracked by Bloomberg over two years.

New mines will boost supply 11 percent in 2012, the most in 17 years, Macquarie Group Ltd. says. Prices may drop 10 percent to $20,000 a ton by Dec. 31, the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 17 analysts and traders shows.

Nickel supply is expanding faster than demand. Prices reached a record $51,800 in 2007 before dropping steeply as consumers rushed to use more substitutes than in any other major commodity, Macquarie says.

The price of copper also has dropped 13 percent from a record $10,190 four months ago.

The two metals have been the subject of recent exploration in Minnesota. PolyMet Mining Corp. and Twin Metals Minnesota are considering open pit or underground mines on the Iron Range

NY-born twin friars die on same day at age 92

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Identical twins Julian and Adrian Riester were born seconds apart 92 years ago. They died hours apart this week. The Buffalo-born brothers were also brothers in the Roman Catholic Order of Friars Minor. Professed friars for 65 years, they spent much of that time working together at St. Bonaventure University, doing carpentry work, gardening and driving visitors to and from the airport and around town.

"It was fun to see them, just quiet, gentle souls," Yvonne Peace, who worked at the St. Bonaventure Friary for nearly 21 years, said Friday.

They died Wednesday at St. Anthony Hospital in St. Petersburg, Fla., Brother Julian in the morning and Brother Adrian in the evening.

Both died of heart failure, said Father James Toal, guardian of St. Anthony Friary in St. Petersburg, where the inseparable twins lived since moving from western New York in 2008.

"It really is almost a poetic ending to the remarkable story of their lives," St. Bonaventure spokesman Tom Missel said. "Stunning when you hear it, but hardly surprising given that they did almost everything together."

Julian and Adrian Riester were born Jerome and Irving on March 27, 1919, to a couple who already had five daughters. They took the names of saints upon their ordination in the Catholic church.

"Dad was a doctor and he said a prayer for a boy," Adrian once said, according to St. Bonaventure. "The Lord fooled him and sent two."

After attending St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute, the brothers were turned away by the military because of their eyesight, the university said. One had a bad left eye, the other a bad right eye.

Eventually they joined the friars of Holy Name Province in New York City. They received separate assignments before reuniting at the seminary at St. Bonaventure from 1951 to 1956. After serving parishes in Buffalo for 17 years, they returned to St. Bonaventure in 1973 and spent the next 35 years there.

They had separate rooms in the friary but one telephone extension that rang into both, Peace recalled. It was usually the more talkative Adrian who answered, though Julian possessed a quiet authority. They never said who was born first.

"Brother Julian was like the big brother. Brother Adrian would defer to him," Peace said. "They picked up one of our friars at the airport one time and the friar said, `Can I take you to dinner?'

"Brother Adrian looked at Brother Julian and said, `We aren't going to dinner?' `No, we'll go home,'" Peace said. "So that was it. No discussion, no contradicting. `No, we aren't going today.'"

Funeral services are scheduled for Monday at St. Mary Our Lady of Grace Church in St. Petersburg. Afterward, the brothers' bodies will be flown to Buffalo and buried Wednesday at St. Bonaventure Cemetery, across the street from the university.

Ariz. Little Leaguer killed after pitch hit chest

By AMANDA LEE MYERS, Associated Press Amanda Lee Myers, Associated Press – 1 hr 37 mins ago
PHOENIX – A 13-year-old Arizona boy was killed in a freak accident after a baseball hit him over the heart as he tried to bunt, officials in his Little League said Friday.

Hayden Walton went for the bunt during a game Tuesday night in the close-knit northern Arizona city of Winslow, said Jamey Jones, a Winslow Little League official.

"He took an inside pitch right in the chest," Jones said. "After that he took two steps to first base and collapsed."

He died the next morning at a local hospital.

The boy's parents, who were at the game, are heartbroken, shocked and unable to speak to members of the media, league president and family spokesman Dale Thomas said.

"It's a hard thing to handle for everyone," Thomas said. "When you're touched by something of this magnitude, it sends shock waves throughout the community."

Thomas said he grew up around the boy's family and described Hayden as "the epitome of what every little boy ought to be." Besides participating in Little League, Hayden was a Boy Scout, loved to work on cars and helped neighborhood widows by mowing their lawns and doing odd jobs for them, Thomas said.

He said Hayden had a younger sister.

The league suspended games until Friday and has counselors available for players or parents who need them.

Stephen Keener, president and CEO of Little League Baseball and Softball, said in a statement that "the loss of a child is incomprehensible."

"Words cannot adequately express our sorrow on the passing of Hayden," he said. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to Hayden's family, all the players and volunteers of the Winslow Little League, his classmates, and his friends, at this difficult time."

Government reaches debt limit, borrows against federal pension funds

http://www.federaltimes.com/article/20110516/BENEFITS03/105160302/

Treasury Department officials have begun to borrow against federal pension funds to meet the government's financial obligations because the country is expected on Monday to reach the limit of its borrowing authority from other sources under the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling.

In a letter to congressional leaders Monday, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said he is suspending new investments in both the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF) and the Thrift Savings Plan G Fund, which is invested in federal securities. In addition, the department will redeem some of the investments held by the CSRDF, Geithner wrote.

"Federal retirees and employees will be unaffected by these actions," Geithner said. By law, both funds must be made whole once lawmakers agree to increase the debt limit.

The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board also Monday stressed that TSP investors will not be harmed. Under a 1987 law, the government is required to repay suspended G Fund investments, including interest, once the debt ceiling is raised and the government can resume borrowing. The board will keep track of what Treasury owes and how much interest the G Fund would have accumulated had the investments not been suspended.

"You have an IOU from the federal government for the G Fund," board chairman Andrew Saul said. "It's not going to affect them [TSP investors], period."

Agency contributions to TSP and matching funds will not be suspended.

In all, Treasury's steps could free up to $214 billion between now and Aug. 2, when the government expects to run out of options if lawmakers do not act by that point to raise the debt limit, according to a Treasury Department fact sheet.

Geithner noted the department has taken similar steps during other congressional stalemates over increasing the government's borrowing authority.

Boosting the national debt limit is never a popular step politically. It is particularly fraught this year as congressional Republicans are insisting on deep spending cuts in return. No agreement in sight at this point.

Geithner warned in a May 13 letter to Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., that even a short-term default on the government obligations could cause "irrevocable damage" to the American economy. The letter is posted on Treasury's website.

The CSRDF, which provides benefits to retired and disabled federal workers covered by the Civil Service Retirement System, is invested in special-issue Treasury bonds. Under a 1986 law, the Treasury Department can temporarily stop investing new employee and agency contributions, along with interest earnings on existing investments and income from maturing securities. The department can also redeem income of about $6 billion per month in existing securities ahead of schedule. Taken together, those steps would create about $84 billion in "headroom" between now and August, according to the Treasury Department fact sheet.

The G Fund is also invested in special-issue Treasury notes. The total balance matures daily and is then reinvested, the department said. Suspending those reinvestments will free up about $130 billion during the same period, the department said.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- A rally in support of protections for wild rice will greet Gov. Mark Dayton when he travels to northern Minnesota for the fishing opener.

The Legislature is considering measures that would relax the state's restrictions on discharges of sulfates into wild rice waters.

The change is being sought by supporters of copper-nickel mining in northeastern Minnesota, as well as wastewater treatment plant operators. Environmental groups are fighting any change. So are Ojibwe bands that consider wild rice sacred and integral to their culture.

Robert Shimek, of the White Earth Land Recovery Project, tells Minnesota Public Radio the current stringent standard has worked well over the years. He says proposed laboratory studies on how high the sulfate limit could be raised may not duplicate what actually goes on in nature.
