The Washington Post
By Cecilia Kang Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, December 18, 2009; A28 The Obama administration named 18 projects Thursday that would receive a portion of the $7.4 billion in stimulus funds set aside to bring high-speed Internet to poor and rural areas that have been overlooked by Internet service providers.

Financial Post
James Pethokoukis, Breakingviews.com Published: Thursday, December 17, 2009 The cap-and-dividend plan partly sponsored by Democrat Senator Maria Cantwell may help win Americans over to dealing with climate change. Cap and trade is the climate policy of choice in Copenhagen. Not so on Capitol Hill, where legislation to create economy-wide limits is stalled in the U.S. Senate. But a new bipartisan bill promoting a "cap-and-dividend" plan could break the logjam. It offers a more politically palatable "plan B" that green Democrats and Republicans would be wise to embrace.
