In China they are putting the finishing touches on a 6.7 MW power generating solar roof for their new high speed rail station. While the mayor here argues whether it should be high speed rail vs. light rail to the airport, the Chinese happily knock out a state of the art facility that will probably shame whatever rail station we can scrape together. We might have money for a new baseball stadium but lets definitely think hard about getting people where they want to go.......here

Dear Rep. Wasserman Schultz

The Cuban political dissidents were not forcibly deported and they have NOT been banished from their homeland. Please stop listening to South Florida Cuban-American hardliners who are intentionally misrepresenting the facts daily in a desperate attempt to advance their political agenda. Get the facts, madam, before you misrepresent them yourself. Your colleagues, constituents and the Cuban dissidents themselves deserve nothing less.
