    <blurb>Southern California Edison is one of the largest electric utilities in the U.S.</blurb>
    <body>&lt;p&gt;
Today&amp;#39;s Southern California Edison is the product of more than a century 
of&amp;nbsp;providing reliable electric service to central, coastal and southern 
California.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;../../files/Image/aboutsce.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;SCE&quot; title=&quot;SCE&quot; hspace=&quot;10&quot; width=&quot;192&quot; height=&quot;146&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; /&gt;We help our customers stretch their energy dollars through rebates, which 
they can receive through SCE&amp;#39;s award-winning energy efficiency programs.&amp;nbsp; 
Customers can receive incentives for helping to control power demand through 
&amp;quot;demand-response&amp;quot; programs, which help to keep wholesale supplies and prices 
under control.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
As part of our commitment to environmental protection, the electric power we 
provide for our customers includes more alternate and renewable energy (16.7%), 
from a greater variety of resources, than nearly any other utility in the 
world.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We have been active in efforts to improve Southern California air 
quality since the 1940s. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
SCE is also an active donor to community and educational causes.&amp;nbsp; SCE 
employee volunteers annually donate more than 700,000 hours of work to community 
and non-profit organizations.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
SCE&amp;#39;s ethnically and culturally diverse customer base contains one of the 
largest concentrations of non-English speaking residents in California.&amp;nbsp; Our 
company celebrates and accommodates the diversity of the community it serves 
through in-languages services and special programs.&amp;nbsp; An emphasis on diversity 
strategies, operational goals and accountability helped SCE maintain its rank in 
the top tier of Fortune magazine&amp;#39;s annual list of the top 50 companies in 
America for ethnic minorities, placing high on the list at number eight. This is 
SCE&amp;#39;s seventh consecutive year receiving this recognition, which highlights the 
company&amp;#39;s commitment to develop a work force of first-rate professionals that 
embraces diversity and reflects the customers it serves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;On an 
average day SCE provides power to:&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;More than 13 million people 
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;180&amp;nbsp;cities in 50,000 square miles of service area, encompassing 11 counties 
	in central, coastal and Southern California 
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Commercial industrial and nonprofit customers, including:&amp;nbsp; 
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;5,000 large businesses&amp;nbsp; 
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;280,000 small businesses&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;To deliver that power, it takes:&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;16 utility interconnections 
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;4,990 transmission and distribution circuits 
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;425 transmission and distribution crews&amp;nbsp; 
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;The days and nights of more than 15,500 employees 
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;More than&amp;nbsp;a century of experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

    <body>The Indy Racing League (IRL) announced on November 18, 2008 that the official ethanol supplier would be the Brazilian trade promotion agency APEX-Brasil. The move from an American fuel supplier to a Brazilian based supplier has caused quite a stir especially among ethanol supporters and corn growers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have waited to comment on this situation to give it a little time to let the facts come out. I thought that maybe Brazil wanted the deal more and simply out bid domestic producers but that doesn&amp;#39;t appear to be the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first hint that the IRL was on defensive about their decision was when they attempted to spin their justifications behind the decision in a recent press release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
