DENVER—The United States Senate voted 51-49 to reject a Congressional Review Act resolution to eliminate the Bureau of Land Management’s methane waste rule. Eliminating the rule was a major policy priority for the Trump administration and the oil and gas industry.
Western Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Michael Bennet (D-CO), and Tom Udall (D-NM) were key in defeating the effort, while previously undecided Senators Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Dean Heller (R-NV) voted in favor of moving forward with the repeal. In response, the Center for Western Priorities released the following statement from Executive Director Jennifer Rokala:
“The oil and gas industry tried to buy a win today, but came up short. This vote ensures that less taxpayer-owned natural gas will be wasted, saving all Americans money and giving Westerners cleaner air to breathe.
“Western senators, including Senators McCain, Bennet, and Udall, were key in defeating this misguided attempt. Unfortunately, Senators Gardner and Heller once again proved oil and gas campaign contributions trump the best interests of America’s taxpayers. Today’s vote keeps them at the top of the president’s legislative all-star team.”
Over the course of their careers, Senator Cory Gardner and Senator Dean Heller have accepted more than $1.1 million and $350,000 in donations from the oil and gas industry, respectively.
What can a hundred million dollars in campaign contributions buy oil companies?

Porsche Series
Salt Lake City - May 11, 2017
David’s art embodies the spirit of Porsche’s new Panamera – a spectacular piece of engineering and style.”
— Mike Baich
SALT LAKE CITY , UTAH, US, May 9, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Salt Lake City—May 9, 2017- Elegant Speed and Timeless Style, a gala event hosted
by Porsche in Salt Lake City, will feature fine art by David Wiener, an internationally
recognized artist and designer, to celebrate community, customers, and the launch of
the new Porsche Panamera. As a creator of custom 911s, Porsche motorsports team
liveries and assorted art commissions, David Wiener’s work with Porsche is known
worldwide. The gala is an invitation only event with attendees enjoying fine dining and
music, along with the exhibit of David Wiener’s artwork.
David’s career began, when at age 16, he was one of America’s youngest professional
photographers, shooting Formula One, Indianapolis 500 and other motorsports, as well
as Americas Cup yacht racing, US Open tennis, World Cup skiing and other exciting
events. Over the following 40 years, he has created art in various mediums, sharpening
his keen sense of style, elegance, and timelessness. His designs can be seen across a
broad spectrum of industries and products for Ferrari, Nike, Columbia, the U.S. Ski
Team, and many other high profile clients.
David’s artwork can be seen in international galleries and Porsche facilities. Much of
David’s work focuses on private and corporate commissions that tie the interests of
patrons to the subject matter of the art. From cars and racing, to architecture,
technology, nature, sports and other themes, his work offers a unique vision for art
lovers, capturing the beauty within elements of an object that the human eye often
overlooks. Modern, abstract and masterfully executed, each piece of art brings detail to
life in a way that inspires viewers to really focus on the elegance and effort of these
unique details.
“This work has allowed me to take my passion for photography and launch a new art
form. I am able to capture elements within architecture, nature, and technology, using
my vision to express a novel perspective to the viewer, challenging them to realize how
beautiful detail taken out of context can be,” said Wiener.
“David’s art embodies the spirit of Porsche’s new Panamera – a spectacular piece of
engineering and style. David consistently dares to do something innovative or go
somewhere different with his art and his work invites the viewer to do the same. We
often overlook the details, the exquisiteness that goes into producing art – whether a
Porsche or a beautiful image,” said Mike Baich, Manager of Porsche Salt Lake City.
David’s work is offered in a variety of mediums including limited edition museum quality
framed prints as well as archival prints on aluminum.

Eidola
Premieres New Track "Tetelestai"
New Album To Speak, To Listen
Available June 2nd, 2017 via Blue Swan Records
Pre-Order Now, Here: eidola.merchnow.com
Touring this Spring with Hail The Sun & Capsize
Stream Single "Amplissimus Machina" Here
Salt Lake City, UT - May 9, 2016 -
Experimental post-hardcore band Eidola is thrilled to announce that they have premiered their new single "Tetelestai" today via Alternative Press. Fans can stream the song now, here: https://goo.gl/PN9HdW. "Tetelestai" comes from the band's new album To Speak, To Listen which will be released on June 2nd,
2017 via Blue Swan Records and was produced by Dryw Owens (A Lot Like Birds, From Indian Lakes). In support of the upcoming album, Eidola will be hitting the road this spring with Hail The Sun & Capsize. For more information or to pre-order the album, please visit: www.eidola.merchnow.com
On the new track, the band shares:
"The word tetelestai means 'it is finished,' and was historically used to signify the payment of a debt. In this case the song lyrically explores two meanings, the payment of a personal debt owed to another person, and the payment or consolidation of the conceptualized 'greatest debt' of human sin. With Matt and I being raised in different faiths our idea was to facilitate an honest dialogue throughout the lyrics."
Eidola is a five-piece progressive post-hardcore band formed in 2011. After a year of touring on their debut self-released album The Great Glass Elephant in 2012, the band signed on with Blue Swan Records to release Degeneraterra in 2015. With the album receiving acclaim from critics and fans alike, the band embarked on a series of tours with bands like Dance Gavin Dance, CHON, Hail The Sun, and Stolas. Now Eidola is back with their most ambitious and aggressive effort yet, To Speak, To Listen.
