STATE Iowa Senate sends Microsoft incentives to Gov. Culver DES MOINES (AP) — The Senate on Wednesday sent Gov. Chet Culver a sweetened package of business incentives designed to lure Microsoft Corp. to locate a costly data center in Iowa. The project is part of what backers hope would be a new wave of high-tech development in Iowa. “There are states out there l iterally begging to have companies like Microsoft come to their state,” said Sen. Bill Dotzler, D-Waterloo, the main backer of the measure. “I think it’s shaking hands with Microsoft and welcoming them to Iowa. The incentives are really the money they are generating by coming here.” The Senate gave the measure final legislative approval on a 45-2 vote, with Sen. Dick Dearden, D-Des Moines, and Sen. Keith Kreiman, D-Bloomfield, opposed. Dearden said he was tired of seeing wealthy businesses demand breaks before locating in the state. “This is a company that made over $14 billion in profit last year and we’re offering them welfare,” Dearden said. “When are we going to stop the corporate welfare train?” Culver has said he is aware of the negotiations with Microsoft and is willing to contact the company if it would help spur a decision. He is considered certain to sign the business package into law. The bill updates the state’s business incentives to make it clear they cover Microsoft, although the measure doesn’t mention the Redmond, Wash.- based company by name. To qual- ify for the tax breaks, a company would have to make at least a $200 million investment in the state, with a decision required by the end of the year. The measure builds on a package lawmakers approved last year in a successful attempt to convince Google to build a $600 million server farm near Council Bluffs. That package exempts electricity and capital investments from the state’s sales tax. Sen. Pat Ward, R-West Des Moines, said the high-tech companies are finding Iowa attrac- tive because it has a relatively cheap and ample supply of electricity and water.

By Claire Lekwa THE DAILY IOWAN “Is it very cold out?” Pablo Ziegler asks about Iowa, his rich accent rumbling over the phone from his apartment in Brooklyn. The 63-year-old native Argen- tine is still not used to frozen landscapes with subzero temperatures. Born in Buenos Aires, he comes from a place classified by not only its warm climate but also its steamy music — the spicy tango. A classically trained jazz pianist, Ziegler holds an influential place in tango’s history. Throughout his musical career, he has helped pioneer a new movement in the genre, a fusion of jazz and tango called the “nuevo tango.” Partly because of his work, the new tango style is now played by groups around the world and by musicians as varied as famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma and multicultural tango group The Gotan Project, whose music has been featured on such television shows as “Nip/Tuck” and “Sex and the City.” Ziegler will bring his jazz-tango music to Hancher Auditorium on Saturday at 7:30 p.m., where he and his Quintet for New Tango will play for their first time in Iowa, featuring vocals from Chilean guest singer Claudia Acuña. Rich in history and culture, A part of a history While he was a strong part of new the ‘new tango’ music of tango’s development, the history of the music does not begin with him.

Some Argen- tines did not appreciate the changes Piazzolla was making to the tradition of tango. “There was a lot of controversy about it in my country,” Ziegler said. “My coun- try is very traditional, very conservative, and there are a lot of people who still now don’t accept this music.” Ziegler remembers Piazzolla saying it took 40 years for his music to be accept- ed in Argentina. Despite the struggles he found in his home country, he has become one of the most widely played Latin American composers in the world.
