o Majority of Mass. Legislators Urge Approval for Cape Wind by Interior Secretary
Boston -- A majority of the members of the Massachusetts Legislature -- 107 in total -- have signed onto a letter to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar urging him to approve the Cape Wind project “as soon as possible,” according to an announcement on Monday. Cape Wind’s proposal is to build America’s first offshore wind farm on Horseshoe Shoal, which would provide three-quarters of the electricity used on Cape Cod and the surrounding islands. Salazar is expected to issue a “record of decision” on Cape Wind in the near future. The Minerals Management Service of the U.S. Department of Interior issued Cape Wind a favorable final environmental impact statement in January. In March, the Massachusetts Energy Facilities Siting Board voted unanimously to issue Cape Wind a “Composite Certificate” that will finalize state permitting.

Cambridge, Mass. -- MIT researchers have developed tiny gold particles that can home in on tumors destroy tumors by emitting heat, with minimal side effects, according to a report by the university’s news office on Monday.

o Framingham-based IDG Communications Consolidates, Cuts 8% of U.S. Staff
Framingham, Mass. – IDG Communications, a Framingham-based provider of market intelligence, advisory services, and events for the information technology, telecommunications, and consumer technology markets, has consolidated staff for some of its main brands into one business unit that now includes the CIO, Computerworld, InfoWorld, Network World, CSO, IT World and Industry Standard titles. As a result of the restructuring, about 8% of the company’s U.S. workforce has been cut, according to a report in Folio magazine. “IDG Communications began resource sharing among its b-to-b media brands several years ago when it transitioned from a print publishing to web-centric business model,” the company said in a statement, contained in the Folio report. “This restructuring completes that process and will ensure that IDG’s b-to-b brands are staffed to rapidly and effectively meet technology marketers’ need for creative, multimedia marketing programs and related services.”
