Falchuk Looking To Grow Independent Party, Reject OlympicsBy Andy McKeever, iBerkshires Staff
09:37PM / Saturday, January 24, 2015 | |
 Former independent gubernatorial candidate Evan Falchuk held a meet and greet at Starbase Technologies Saturday night. PITTSFIELD, Mass. — When Gov. Deval Patrick announced in July that state taxpayers would spend $1 billion to expand the Boston Convention Center, it became Evan Falchuk's favorite example of how the state's priorities were out of whack. He was running for governor at the time and forming the new United Independent Party. He didn't win the state's top executive office but the party did reel in enough votes to become recognized by the state. Official parties can raise up to $15,000 from individuals while unofficial parties can only 0 Comments

@theMarket: More Stimuli Equal Higher MarketsBy Bill Schmick,
06:12PM / Friday, January 23, 2015 | |
 We can thank Mario Draghi, the head of the European Central Bank, for snapping the stock market out of its monthlong lethargy. This week, the ECB launched a trillion-dollar program of monetary stimulus that gave investors worldwide a shot in the arm.
The program amounts to an injection of 60 billion Euros per month into the EU economies through the purchase of private and public debt. The quantitative easing will continue until September 2016. However, ECB spokesmen hinted that if more time is needed the program could be extended indefinitely.
Clearly, the ECB is benefiting from lessons learned over here. Our Fed created uneeded volatility over several years by launching and then

Williamstown Adds Electric Car Charging StationBy Stephen Dravis, iBerkshires Staff
03:45AM / Friday, January 23, 2015 | |
 Williams College has installed a charging station on Spring Street for electric cars. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — David Richardson may never use the new electric car charging station at the bottom of Spring Street. But he could not be happier that it is there. "I live about 10 miles from campus, and my car, under ideal circumstances, gets a 40-mile range on a charge," Richardson, a chemistry professor at Williams College, said this week. "Unless I run errands, that fits most of the time in my charge boundaries. "I applaud the town for being this forward looking to install this device, but I’d almost never use it. … But for 0 Comments

The Independent Investor: The European Central Bank DeliversBy Bill Schmick,
04:39PM / Thursday, January 22, 2015 | |
 Thursday, Mario Draghi, the head of Europe's Central Bank, announced new steps in an effort to lift the EU from economic malaise. Investors wonder if it will be enough.
That's not unusual. There were many doubting Thomases in this country when the Fed first launched its quantitative easing program back in 2009. Japan, which is in the second inning of its stimulus program, also has its share of detractors.
At first blush, the expanded program of stimulus includes an asset purchase program of both private and public securities of up to $60 billion Euros ($69 billion) a month through the end of September 2016. That amounts to well over a trillion Euros in new stimulus. The markets
