    Inspiring and preparing young people for success 2017-2018 Mission Report Nathan Ziegler, principal of Hope Academy, and his students. Read his JA story on page 14. Dear Friends, As we reflect on this past year, we’re energized by what we’ve accomplished thanks to your investment. Junior Achievement has experienced incredible growth, innovation, and success. We’ve impacted more students, joined with more educators and schools, and partnered with more volunteers. We’ve piloted two new programs — JA Inspire and JA Meda Fellows — to equip students with the skills needed to succeed in the workforce and start a business. We inspired the creation of 74 student-run companies through JA Company Program, an increase of 23% over last year. We’re always looking for new ways to motivate young people to envision a successful future and to gain the skills needed to be contributing members of our community. Our partners are instrumental in keeping us relevant, innovative, and engaging! Today’s youth are our future; their success is our success. As we look forward, we’re excited by what’s ahead. In 2019, Junior Achievement will celebrate its 100th year. Very few organizations make it to 100 years, much less continue to grow and thrive as Junior Achievement has. Celebrate with us – watch our centennial video at https://youtu.be/fKAvHJ9vcek. Locally, Junior Achievement of the Upper Midwest is also experiencing a milestone next year. We’re moving our experiential learning center to St. Paul. The Junior Achievement James R. and Patricia Hemak Experiential Learning Center will have two experiential learning labs instead of one, allowing us to double the number of students participating in JA BizTown and JA Finance Park.

  • Court Confirms Energy Future Holdings'ʹ Plan of Reorganization
    Court Confirms Energy Future Holdings' Plan of Reorganization Upon Regulatory Approvals and Emergence, EFH to Benefit from Strengthened Balance Sheet and Strong Position in Texas' Competitive Energy Market DALLAS, Dec. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Future Holdings today announced that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has confirmed the company's plan of reorganization. The plan contemplates a tax-free spin of the company's competitive businesses, including Luminant and TXU Energy, and the sale of its holdings in Oncor to a consortium of investors. "We are pleased to have reached this critical milestone on the road to emergence," said John Young, chief executive officer of EFH. "We can now begin, in earnest, to build for the future, with a strong capital structure, excellent assets and a singular commitment to delivering for our customers, employees and business partners in Texas' growing, competitive market. Our financial restructuring has been among the most complex in history, and it is a credit to our entire team and our outside advisors that the company has reached this point while maintaining stellar customer service and operational excellence." Following the court's confirmation, the company must also receive regulatory approvals and satisfy various other closing conditions in order to emerge from chapter 11. The regulatory process is expected to extend into the spring of 2016, though final timing is subject to modification. About Energy Future Holdings EFH is a Dallas-based holding company engaged in competitive and regulated energy market activities in Texas. Its portfolio of competitive businesses consists primarily of Luminant, which is engaged largely in power generation and related mining activities, wholesale power marketing and energy trading, and TXU Energy, a retail electricity provider with 1.7 million residential and business customers in Texas.

Docket No. OR18-9-000 OPINION NO. 573 ORDER ON INITIAL DECISION (Issued November 19, 2020) This order addresses briefs on and opposing exceptions to an Initial Decision issued on September 12, 2019 concerning the application for market-based rate authority of White Cliffs Pipeline, L.L.C. (White Cliffs).1 The Initial Decision found that White Cliffs lacks market power in the origin market and recommended that the Commission grant White Cliffs’ application. As discussed below, although we modify the Initial Decision’s findings regarding the product market, we affirm the Initial Decision’s finding that White Cliffs lacks market power in the applicable market and grant White Cliffs’ application for market- based rate authority. I.
