The Federal Center South project has created work for numerous people in the Seattle area, including Jeremy Fredericks.
Northwest Greening in Action
Redevelopment and modernization of the Federal Center South complex near Seattle began in July 2010. The renovation project, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will provide an ideal location for agencies whose missions require them to be in or near Seattle, but whose security requirements would normally prohibit a downtown location. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is one such agency.
The facility's current configuration does not meet the seismic, security, or operational needs of the Corps of Engineers. GSA conducted an evaluation of alternatives, including the renovation of the Corps' existing space. The agency concluded that the redevelopment of a warehouse on the complex site into high-performance office space would meet the security and growth requirements more cost-effectively, with less operational disruption.
The building is expected to attain gold certification in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design from the U.S. Green Building Council. Among the many green features of the new building is extensive use of natural daylight, conversion of existing hardscape into low-impact sustainable green space, use of recycled timbers and other building materials, and an energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning system that uses under-floor air distribution. The project is expected to be completed by fall 2012.
GSA is investing $5.5 billion of Recovery Act funds in building modernization and construction projects across the country. The Federal Center South project has created work for numerous people in the Seattle area, including Jeremy Fredericks, who is featured in the adjoining video. Watch his story.

On Mondays through January, we're continuing to post exclusive excerpts from Glory Days: Springsteen's Greatest Albums, which analyzes eight of Springsteen's most groundbreaking albums and then argues which one should be considered "the greatest." This week, a selection from the chapter on "Tunnel of Love."
At least a few of the songs point to the value in at least trying to ford the rough river of romantic relationships. The steady, martial drumbeat that starts off �Tougher Than The Rest� evokes the singer�s steely commitment to succeeding where others before him have failed, and an acknowledgement that love is only truly attainable if you�re willing to endure a long, hard slog to reach it. And even �All That Heaven Will Allow� � the album�s brightest track, sung in a hopeful warble � acknowledges the constant presence of �Mister Trouble.�
But much more of Tunnel of Love is dedicated to the ways that love is complicated, trust is fleeting and truly knowing someone is heart-wrenchingly difficult � sometimes impossible. The title track equates relationships with a dim, twisted carnival funhouse, an analogy that�s brilliantly simple and exquisitely executed: �the lights go out and it�s just the three of us,� Springsteen sings, �you, me and all that stuff we�re so scared of.� The way he shares harmonies both with himself, in a anguished overdub, and with Patti Scialfa�s echoing yelps only accentuates the number of hidden specters floating just beneath any relationship�s surface.
�Brilliant Disguise� takes that concept even further, with yet another protagonist in danger of seeing everything slip away when �out go the lights� � including his own sense of self. �I wanna know if it�s you I don�t trust, �cause I damn sure don�t trust myself,� he laments, painting a revealing picture of a relationship whose loving appearance is only the result of perpetual, exhausting efforts � from both parties � to keep the darkness submerged.
Even starker is the plain-spoken �One Step Up,� almost matter-of-fact in the way it portrays a marriage dissolving before our eyes. Like in �Point Blank� � perhaps Springsteen�s direst relationship song up to that point � the dream of happier times that ends the song makes the current reality all the sadder.

Jim Cramer: Why the Cliff Makes the Short Side Look Good
First, let me say, I hate politics. Second, let me say, I like profiting from stocks. Call me a profiteer, but you have to recognize that because we elected a president who favors tax increases and spending cuts, and because I have never heard any Republicans even be willing to say "tax increase," let alone vote for one, then you have to accept that going short beats going long here.
In other words, I am urging you in this column to recognize that no compromise means fiscal cliff jump, and cliff jump means lower profits for companies, and lower profits for companies means lower prices for stocks.
That's not GOP. That's not Democrat. That's just ineluctable.
What I don't like is that when I go on Twitter, Republicans disagree with that judgment.
Look, you can say that the president is going to cause a recession because we elected him, and he favored tax increases on the wealthier cohort. Romney didn't favor it. He's boxed by that vote.
The Republicans are boxed by their pledge not to disagree with the president by a pre-existing agreement to Grover Norquist's pledge.
One is a pledge to the electorate. The other is a pledge to Norquist. I think there is nothing wrong in putting it like that. It is not simplistic. It is simple
I don't care whether you agree with that judgment. I am simply saying that if you agree with it, there will be prolonged period where the short side might be preferable to the long side, because the president, right now, does not have enough pledge-breakers to get a deal done.
And what does a world look like with no deal?
There are three consequences. The first that is many will see less money from their paychecks, because more has to be withheld by law for everyone.
Maybe that doesn't matter as much as it sounds. I mean, if oil prices soar to $130, I think that would be a more important detriment to the health of the economy than just that increase.
Second, you will see some substantial layoffs made by prudent executives from publicly traded companies as well as definite layoffs from defense companies. The issue here is that when companies report in January, only foolish CEOs would say that they can have better growth once we go over the cliff.
Who wants to be a buffoon? Why not take down numbers because of the cliff? And when you take down numbers, your stock goes lower.
The final and far more insidious issue is this stupid alternative minimum tax. It is an impenetrable escalation of taxes that could be relatively larger than the current tax bite for perhaps 30 million Americans. You don't know until the bill hits you. So you better save up for it. Those people are critical to spending, and they don't even know who they are yet. Tax bills would increase an average of $3,000 for these people.

My daffodils were probably wondering what the heck was going on when they woke up covered in snow...
But inside...... I have a dogwood branch in bloom!
Our neighbors planted the cutest little dogwood tree between our driveways. It is a favorite of mine. The weight of the snow must have broken this branch, so I decided to bring it in and see what it would do. It's been in a vase of water for about a month. I am loving watching it sprout and bloom.
I even took part of the branch over to my neighbor so she could enjoy it too. She's going to hang her Easter eggs from it..

My experience with steel plate in my oven is that the heat transfer is so efficient that it was hard to balance top and bottom heat (even using my broiler), and that the bottom would be done far before the top. I imagine that this would get even harder to manage on a grill.Barry
Steel plate is way too conductive on a grill. Overkill : http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,13610.0.htmlunless you have an IR burner of top, it's a waste of good flour.Don
The steel plate doesn't get any hotter than the stone, it just transmits the heat better.
Steel plate on the grill + a friend with a weedburner might work... opening a new frontier of 15-second pies!
Brian, I think, it all depend on amount of BTUs you are burning under your steel plate and your outdoor temperature.
What I was getting at was that IF you have top heat that can meet & beat the high conductivity of steel, you could be looking at sub-30 bakes at a steel temp of 550. That's why steel bakers use their broilers to finish the top before the bottom turns into inedible char. The challenge is the top heat. With your MPO setup, I don't think you will accrue enough top heat before the steel turns the bottom into a charcoal frisbee.

Cessna Aircraft can hold down the price of the two-place light sport aircraft (LSA) Skycatcher no longer, and says in 2012 it will be $149,900, although many previous options will now become standard equipment. It started out at $110,000 and had drifted up to $115,000. At those prices, it was below cost. So much for the 2004 dream that maybe some of the light sport aircraft could start at $20,000 but rise no higher than $60,000 when tricked out. The lowest-cost LSAs are about $80,000, but have lots of bells and whistles. You'll see a report in the January issue of AOPA Pilot on the full-featured Aerotrek at $78,000, and Pipistrel, a company gaining fame for its electric aircraft work, says it will develop a low-cost two-place LSA trainer.
When the announcement was first made, the Pipistrel price in euros amounted to $83,000. Now, five days later, the Pipistrel price of 59,000 euros amounts to $74,800. Great price, but the airplane isn't in production yet. What to do? There's always the used LSA market to provide lower-cost airplanes, and that is growing with the increase in the LSA fleet. In fact, you can buy the Aerotrek you'll read about in January–for the right price. I've flown it, and it's a terrific airplane. So do I have the money? Well, not at this time…or times in the past. Future times don't look all that flush, either. Fun to think about, though.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina has provided information to the NCAA about the hiring of the mother of former basketball star Tyler Hansbrough as a fundraiser and her travels.
In documents faxed to the NCAA on Sept. 13, the school included summaries of Tami Hansbrough's trips in March 2009 that coincided with her son's games in the Atlantic Coast Conference and NCAA tournaments.
The school said then-athletic director Dick Baddour and assistant athletic director for compliance Amy Herman reviewed the trips and determined no violations took place. Athletic spokesman Steve Kirschner said Saturday the fax was meant to brief the NCAA following media reports and the school isn't reporting a violation.
Hansbrough raised about $5 million for the dental school foundation before moving to another university fundraising job in 2011. She resigned this month after questions arose about spending on trips she took with top UNC fundraiser Matt Kupec, who also has resigned.
Those trips included destinations where her younger son, Ben, was playing basketball for Notre Dame.
Hansbrough's trips to Atlanta and Memphis, Tenn., during Tyler's senior season were later approved as legitimate because she reported meeting with potential donors as the Tar Heels went on to win the NCAA championship.
In a cover letter to NCAA assistant director for enforcement Mike Zonder, UNC general counsel Leslie Strohm wrote that Hansbrough was selected for the dental school foundation job in 2008 by a five-member search committee from a pool of 41 candidates.
She was chosen for the university fundraising job by a six-member search committee from a pool of 38 candidates, according to Strohm's letter.

Staley joins 'Whale trade' winner
Jes Staley, chairman of JP Morgan's corporate and investment bank, is leaving to join an investment firm which profited from the Wall Street bank's $5.8bn 'London Whale trade' loss.
BlueMountain Capital Management – which made gains of about $30m by making bets opposite JP Morgan last May, according to The Wall Street Journal – announced the appointment of Staley as a managing partner today.
It remains unclear when Staley will leave JP Morgan.
Staley had been chief executive of JP Morgan's investment bank until July last year, when he was moved to a new role as chairman of the corporate and investment bank as part of a wider reshuffle.
The overhaul saw JP Morgan's investment banking, corporate banking and treasury and securities services units under one roof. Daniel Pinto and Mike Cavanagh were named as co-chief executives of corporate and investment banking as part of the shake-up.
Once considered a frontrunner to replace Jamie Dimon as chief executive, Staley departing became a possibility following the switch out of the day-to-day spotlight.
He was also touted as a potential replacement for Bob Diamond as chief executive of Barclays, after the UK bank lost its chief executive in the wake of the Libor scandal – although did not get the job, the WSJ reported in October.
Baltimore asset manager Legg Mason also approached Staley to discuss its chief executive position last autumn, according to a report by CNBC.
At BlueMountain, Staley will become one of nine managing partners and will focus on cultivating relationships and developing new strategies. He is purchasing a stake in the firm – the proceeds of which will be re-invested into infrastructure, technology and talent – and will join its management, risk and investment committees.
Although BlueMountain reportedly profited from JP Morgan's losses last summer, the firm later switched to helping the bank unwind its massive trades in credit derivatives.
One person familiar with the matter told Financial News in December: "JP Morgan got caught with its pants down and BlueMountain helped it pull them back up, and made some nice money on the spread. JP Morgan took less of a hit than if it had sold in big blocks on the open market."
The firm posted a 1.43% gain for June in its $4.5bn Credit Alternatives Fund, taking its return for the first half of the year to 10.17%, according to a letter sent to investors and seen by the WSJ in July.
The fund's performance beat both the June and first-half returns of the hedge fund industry and the broad credit market index.
In joining BlueMountain, Staley will work alongside fellow ex-JP Morgan banker Andrew Feldstein, a former credit derivatives trader who co-founded the firm in 2003.
Staley had been with the US's largest bank by assets for more than 34 years, holding a number of senior positions over that period. Prior to becoming head of investment banking in September 2009, following the departure of Bill Winters, he had been JP Morgan's head of asset management.
Prior to that, he had been served as the head of JP Morgan's private bank and was one of the founders of its equities business.
Staley said: "I'm very excited to be joining BlueMountain at a time when sea changes in the financial industry combined with the firm's unique strengths open up enormous possibilities to deliver value to clients."
He added: "I want to thank all my colleagues at JP Morgan, my home for the last 34 years, and I look forward to working with them in the future."

Helen Jane Kossel
CARNEY – Helen Jane Kossel, 90, of Carney, passed away Tuesday, March 19, 2013, at Pinecrest Medical Care Facility, Powers.
Helen was born Feb. 11, 1923, to the late Arthur and Anna (Rasmussen) Slottke in Carney. She attended Stephenson schools and was the valedictorian of SHS class of 1941. She played basketball for the Stephenson girls team in high school, and would to be a lifelong follower and supporter of the local basketball teams.
On Aug. 11, 1945, Helen married Frank Kossel at St Bruno Catholic Church. He preceded her in death on Nov. 28, 1985.

Lately I have been spending my tea drinking mostly on a lovely pu-erh cake I bought whilst I was in China. I am enjoying it VERY, very much indeed and find the 3rd and 4th wash of it the best.
Today I went into the (supposedly good) tea shop I often go to in London (England). I asked whether they had any pu-erh blocks/cakes as there were none on display. I thought that as it is a small shop, perhaps they dont have space for displaying it. I was quite upset to hear the shop assistant tell me that Pu-erh is 'old-fashioned' and not very popular. I am not aware that this should be the case.
To be honest - i dont think it was ever 'fashioned' here in London, so I dont know how it could be 'old-fashioned'.. (anyone is welcome to prove me wrong). She irritated me a little and so I told her that this was a shame and they should do something about it.. she half mumbled 'yes' whilst looking in the other direction.
What is the situation with this in the US - or anywhere else for that matter? I am hoping to buy some more pu-erh - but it looks like I will have to get it from one of the fantastic and much more helpful online sources..

Skip to comments.Report: Lifting fracking ban would create economic windfall in NY
Posted on 06/07/2011 8:28:28 PM PDT by Fitzy_888
New York could see $11.4 billion in economic activity and up to 18,000 new jobs by 2020 if the state allows gas companies to tap the massive Marcellus Shale formation, according to a report released today by a conservative think tank.
The report, paid for by the business-backed Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, found that the state and local governments would gain $1.4 billion in tax revenues alone during the same time period. New York currently has a de facto moratorium on high-volume hydraulic fracturing, a technique used in natural gas extraction in which millions of gallons of water mixed with sand and chemicals is blasted deep underground to unlock gas from shale formations.
The studys authorswhich have penned separate reports partially commissioned by the natural gas industry for Pennsylvania State Universityalso found that the typical Marcellus Shale gas well reaps about $4 million in economic benefits, while the environmental impacts come to about $14,000 per well.
Their study is based on a prediction of 330 horizontal wells in New York, which primary author Timothy Considine said is a conservative estimate.
It could be much larger than the numbers projected in my report, said Considine, a professor at University of Wyoming. The $11.4 billion number is based on a fairly limited development scenario in the Southern Tier of New York, like Broome and Chemung counties.
Considine said the drilling estimates are based on activity that has taken place in Bradford, Tioga and Susquehanna counties in Pennsylvania, where high-volume fracking has been permitted since 2008.
The reports authors, however, have faced criticism for their past work on hydrofracking, including one of the Penn State reports.
A dean at Penn State said that reportwhich predicted a windfall of economic activity resulting from natural gas in Pennsylvania and spoke out against a proposed severance taxshould have been more scholarly and less advocacy-minded.
What simpering genius came up with the idea of a ban?
Assembly pauses fracking permits
Albany TU | By CASEY SEILER State editor
Tuesday, June 7, 2011
ALBANY — Arguing that the state needs more time to assess the potential effects of the natural gas drilling technique known as hydrofracking, the state Assembly on Monday passed a moratorium on the issuance of new permits until June 1, 2012.
The measure would cover drilling for oil as well as gas, and would cover vertical drilling using hydrofracking — a method already in use around the state — as well as the horizontal drilling that the drilling industry wants to begin using to tap the Marcellus and Utica shale formations, massive gas-bearing regions that stretch from Pennsylvania into New York's Southern Tier.
The measure passed the Assembly 91-46, according to a preliminary tally. It faces an uncertain future in the Senate, where the narrow Republican majority views natural gas drilling as a major economic opportunity for hard-pressed upstate regions.

"What simpering genius came up with the idea of a ban?"
So say we all.
Greenies were complaining about reclaimed fracking water, having dissolved naturally occurring radioactive minerals such as thorium, being pumped into sewage systems. If this really was resulting in an unmanageable or unsafe situation, the solution of reusing the fracking water at other fracking sites would seem simple and obvious enough.
What simpering genius came up with the idea of a ban?
People who have their own water wells that are expensive and fragile.
Until it comes out of the legislature as a law, there is no moratorium or ban. There has to be more to the story.
I wonder how many of these "bans" will magically be lifted the closer we get to "re-election" time.
Whose wells were polluted or rendered inoperable by fracking?
I have read concerns regarding fracking. There seem to be lax standards regarding the disposal of waste water, and problems caused to well owners (occasionally) when processes go wrong. If companies are held accountable to keep things safe they should go for it. Unfortunately, NY is chock full of lefty ninnies who will fight our energy independence tooth and nail.
Talking about a 17-fold increase in methane presence (which, of course, came from the highly mobile natural gas being freed by the fracking) doesn't say anything about what the absolute methane levels are. Methane can asphyxiate at high concentrations, but it is biologically non poisonous to humans. If it comes remotely close to hazardous, there is a true issue. But it would be very cheap, and a logical solution, for the drillers to fit such affected wells with methane vents and, perhaps as a compensation, to guarantee the well operation against any failure for fifty years.
That's a whole lot of money to wave in front of that scum, I think they'll grab at it. But then, they'll try to renege somehow, after they get the dinero.
Yes, lift the fracking ban so we can get some cheaper fracking gas.
Thank You
No ones well anywhere has been affected by fracking. If there was an actual example; we would be hearing about it believe me. Fracking takes place far below the water table.
My family's well was screwed up by a city landfill. For years they allowed dry cleaner fluid to be dumped directly on the ground.
Because of fracking and other emerging technologies in the energy sector we now have several times more known economically exploitable gas and oil reserves in our country alone than we did ten years ago. This is creating panic in the eco-nut-ball world. They were counting on shortages of hydrocarbon energy sources to drive the price of energy to unaffordable levels by now.
We are going to be hearing an unbelievable amount of anti-fracking propaganda. This is the biggest threat to the environmental left in the past 50 years.
Fracking has been a common practice in Texas for over sixty years.
There is yet to be a single case of its causing contamination of water wells.
People in New York who have their own water wells would be advised to be suspicious of the people who are using them to forward an environmentalist agenda.
Sorry, we are now busy working in other areas that cooperated with business from the beginning. Maybe we can get to your state in a decade or so, after you demonstrate some common sense for a few years.
We have used hydraulic fracturing in the country for 6 decades without creating problems with water wells. It is no more a problem than global warming. It is just the latest scam by environmentalists to hold back energy production in this country.
If they don't issue the permits citing needs for more study, how is that different than a ban?
If it was due to hydraulic fracturing, they could measure chemicals for that operation. But they never have done so.
There has been methane recorded in water wells going back 100 years or more. Many sites in Pennsylvania and other locations have dealt with then long before there was drilling.
Duke Study on Methane in Water Wells
The researchers stated that, despite widespread public concerns about drinking water contamination from hydraulic fracturing, such concerns "lack a strong scientific foundation."
For the wells they examined, the researchers found that methane concentrations generally were higher in samples from water wells located within one kilometer of an active gas well, as compared to samples from water wells located further from any active gas well. But there were exceptions. Further, the researchers found methane in 85 percent of the water wells they sampled, "regardless of gas industry operations." In other words, the researchers found methane in a large majority of the water wells they sampled in the Marcellus area, even when the water wells being sampled were not located near active gas wells.
Whenever I read articles like that - my first thought is always the situation in Dimmick pa.
Methane in Water Wells
Methane gas can occur naturally in water wells and when it does, it presents unique problems for water well drilling contractors.
The gas that causes problems in water wells can occur in either bedrock or overburden wells. Methane is generated in source rock, then "stored" in a reservoir with some type of cap rock or impervious layer to contain the gas underground.
Natural Gas - the modern energy form
The Sydney Morning Herald - Jul 10, 1973
The modern history of natural gas began in the United States in 1821 when bubbles were noticed in a water well being drill at Fredonia, New York State. The well was only 27ft deep. William Hart, a local gunsmith, piped the gas into a nearby coaching inn to provide lighting using log "pipes".

Business Success Can Be a Laughing Matter
Nobody likes a wise guy, but when it comes to humor, your mother was right: laughter is the best medicine. It is not a panacea, but it can do wonders for you and those around you in order to create a healthy, thriving work environment.
Last week in a graduate class I was lucky enough to hear a peer present on humor and its importance in the office setting. It could not have come at a more relevant time. My coworker and I had recently finished our entry for a local contest (run by the Ad Council) to win a Keurig machine. Our submission was dubbed the "bizarre one" of the group.
The entry only took us 10 minutes to put together, but was well worth our time. We had everyone at Al Sigl laughing and our facebook fans cheering. The prize may only have been a simple Keurig, but to us it will always be so much more. It is a symbol of the fun we have together as colleagues and let's be honest - a trophy of our victory (it was a close race).
Sometimes it is the smallest things that motivate people. Being silly and sharing a laugh or two can do a lot for employee morale. I leave you with ten reasons for bringing humor to work:
1. Relieve stress
2. Shift perspective
3. Bond with others
4. Let go of inhibitions
5. Reduce staff turnover
6. Increase productivity
7. Hold attention of others
8. Foster creativity
9. Encourage collaboration
10. Enhance communication skills

Udall says country needs to heal
February 19, 2007
PORTALES — Minimum wage and health care were the dominated topics Monday during U.S. Rep. Tom Udall's Town Hall Meeting at Portales City Hall.
The wide-ranging discussion also covered topics from student loans to the Iraq War.
It was Udall's first meeting in Portales since Democrats took control of the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this year. In opening the meeting, Udall outlined his party's goals for the first 100 days since the shift in power.
"I think it's really important that our party try to heal the country and pull everybody together," Udall said. "It's important to proceed in a bipartisan manner and we're doing that."
Udall said the Democratic agenda for the first 100 days includes addressing the minimum wage, health care, stem cell research, education and energy independence.
Several audience members commented on the need for a universal health care system of some sort and Udall said he agreed.
"Every year I've signed onto bills to get us there," Udall said of health care reform. "I don't care how we get there as long as we do."
Petra Davis of Portales shared with the crowd the high cost of medical treatment as a result of a recent accident.
"Where's this going to stop, we're not millionaires," Davis said.
Robert Garcia of Portales told Udall he felt Congress was wasting its time on debate over the minimum wage. He pointed out it wasn't a living wage anyway, and it only made for a better part-time job for students.
"America has forgotten about the middle class," Garcia said. "Social Security isn't going to help you. You've got to work the rest of your life to make it."
Udall said he felt a viable option for some of the problems Garcia described was to allow those aged 55-65 to buy into Medicare.
A 21-year-old man, who didn't identify himself, asked Udall, "What's Social Security going to do for me?"
Udall replied he believes Social Security will be solvent for the next 40 years. He said tweaks are needed throughout the program to ensure it remains viable.

Tri-Lakes Energy Expo Set for Sept. 17 With Energy-Saving Ideas for Homes & Businesses
Connie Cullen
(914) 390-8196
September 8, 2005
ALBANY—The Tri-Lakes Energy Expo, a free event on how to conserve energy and lower utility bills, is scheduled for Saturday, September 17 from 10 am to 6 pm, in the Town of Harrietstown's Town Hall Auditorium in Saranac Lake. Learn how to reduce energy use from professionals and vendors featuring energy-efficient goods and services. Information on low-cost financing opportunities to install energy-saving products at your home or business will also be available. Over 30 vendors and organizations will be represented.
Sponsors of the Tri-Lakes Energy Expo are: the New York Power Authority (NYPA); Niagara Mohawk, a National Grid company, (Niagara Mohawk) and New York Energy Smart, a joint initiative of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the New York State Public Service Commission.
"Getting ready for this winter and winters to come by encouraging greater use of energy-efficient products benefits families and businesses with warmer, brighter homes, shops and offices; lower energy bills and especially valued in the Tri-Lakes communities, the cleaner air that results from using less energy," said Eugene W. Zeltmann, president and chief executive officer, NYPA.
"We are pleased to join NYPA and New York Energy Smart in sponsoring the Energy Expo," said Rich Burns, Key Account Manager, Niagara Mohawk. "This event offers residents and local businesses an opportunity to learn more about energy efficiency that will yield savings and provide benefits for this winter and for years to come."
"Helping residents and businesses in the North Country identify ways to lower their energy costs, especially in these times of high energy prices, is extremely important. Winter often comes early and stays late here, so by improving the energy efficiency of homes and businesses in the area, we can provide much needed economic and environmental benefits, as well as help to ensure that we have an affordable and secure energy future here in Northern New York, " said Peter R. Smith, president, NYSERDA.
Due to the severe winter weather in the Tri-Lakes Region, many homes, businesses, non-profit groups and public facilities have been using energy conservation efforts. The Tri-Lakes Expo offers a variety of ways to continue those efforts.
An "energy audit" is an effective way to assess the potential savings from installing energy efficient products at your home and business. At the Energy Expo, home performance contractors, professionals in completing energy audits for home owners, will be available for questions and can set-up an energy audit for your home. Also at the Expo, small business owners can meet with experts in performing energy audits for commercial and non-profit operations.
Vendors will have available many energy-efficient products for lighting, heating and insulation, and much more. Companies servicing oil and propane systems will be on hand to show ways to improve the efficiency of that equipment.
Solar energy products, and other renewable energy sources, for home and business applications, will also be presented.
If you are a provider or vendor of energy efficient products or services, and are interested in exhibiting at the Expo, please contact Steve Ramsey, New York Power Authority, at 1-800-724-0309 or email@example.com.
Statewide, NYPA has completed energy-efficiency projects at over 2,200 public buildings helping save taxpayer dollars on municipal energy bills. NYPA also assists residential and business customers of the municipal electric systems and rural cooperatives with energy conservation. These energy saving measures include high-efficiency lighting, motors, heating and air conditioning, boilers, building-shell measures, and clean energy technologies such as solar energy projects.
Niagara Mohawk, a National Grid company, provides electricity service to approximately 1.5 million customers and natural gas service to approximately 560,000 customers in upstate New York. Its parent company also has electricity distribution operations in New England.
NYSERDA administers the New York Energy $mart program which is contributing to improving energy diversity in the State by reducing electricity use through energy efficiency, and increasing the use of renewable energy. Over 40 programs are offered under the program that are also providing environmental and economic benefits for the State's residents and businesses. For more information on these programs, please call 1-866-NYS-ERDA or visit www.nyserda.org.

County to allow data to be sent on the drone project
ALPENA – Alpena County commissioner and board Chair Cam Habermehl made a request to the county's finance committee to do a phone poll that would allow the county to grant permission to consultant Explorer Solutions to release data regarding the drone project to Sea-Tech.
Sea-Tech was hired by the state to handle the filing of the Federal Aviation Administration's screening information request. The SIR will be combed through by the federal government which will then designate six applicants the Center of Excellence for unmanned testing, training and production.
Habermehl said the Michigan Economic Development Commission had selected Sea-Tech, a consulting firm in Washington, to handle the job of meeting the demands and providing the requested data in the SIR. He said the problem was the company didn't have any of the data needed and only Explorer Solutions had it from the previous work with the county. Habermehl said the first deadline for data submittal is today and a poll was needed to be sure the timeline was met. Habermehl said if the county didn't share the information the Center of Excellence project would not go through.
"It is our intellectual property and if we don't share it with Sea-Tech and we miss the deadlines the project will be dead," Habermehl said. "There are six deadlines in the request and the final deadline is May 31, so things are going fast now. It is important we do this poll or the whole thing will die. It is imperative we share the information, because there is no possible way Sea-Tech can put together that information in such a short period of time."
Habermehl said Explorer Solutions also was hired by the MEDC to operate the Center of Excellence if it is acquired, but will not be helping with the SIR.
The poll was done and the motion to allow the release of the needed information from Explorer Solutions to Sea-Tech was passed.
In other business:
* the committee will recommend the full board approve the purchase of 911 workstation computers and a software upgrade for $2,825 and a voice recorder upgrade. There have been issues in how calls into 911 have been recorded and the upgrade will fix the problem. The cost of the upgrade is $2,770.
* the committee agreed to a deal with Merit for the installation of fiber from the M-32/Bagley Street intersection to M-32/Airport Road. The county is splitting the cost of the project with the City of Alpena. The total cost is $112,818 and the county's portion is $56,409. The installation of the fiber is expected to begin this spring and will provide city and county facilities access to high speed internet.
* the committee will recommend that Undersheriff Terry King be allowed to seek bids for a used truck to be used primarily at the security station at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center.

text: Volleyball Completes Third Straight Weekend SweepMaybe Hamline will have to petition the MIAC to go to playing four times on a weekend. The Pipers certainly have the hang of success working that way. For the third weekend in a row, HU won all four matches in a tournament. On Saturday, they took their eighth three set win of the season, running over Crown and Wis-Stout by identical 3-0 scores. The Pipers, who were just 9-19 last season, are now 12-1 overall on the season. In the opening match of the day, first year player Katie Ayres topped a balanced attack with nine kills and seven digs. The Pipers claimed a 25-14 opening game win and followed it up with 25-11 and 25-21 decisions. Karley Kilian added six kills as all 15 players on the HU bench saw action. Becka Mozes had 17 assists and Frankie Miller (pictured at right) recorded 13 digs. Eight days ago, the Blue Devils gave the Pipers a tough go before falling in five sets. There was no such drama this time. The Pipers survived a 25-22 cliffhanger and then got better as the day went on, claiming 25-16 and 25-13 wins to finish off the sweep. Frankie Miller turned attacker with 11 kills (along with six more digs) while Sam Greeney-Hamlin contributed nine. Sammie Miller dished out 20 assists with Mozes dealing a dozen of her own. Lynsey Reimer had a terrific day on the backside with 17 digs while Jamie Rubbelke was close behind with 16. The Pipers' 12 overall victories currently rank as the most of any MIAC team. They now return to league action next week with a match Wednesday night, September 19, at St. Benedict (11-3, 1-0 MIAC) for a 7:00 p.m. match. On Saturday, September 22, they travel to St. Olaf (4-7, 1-0 MIAC). That match is scheduled for a 1:00 P.M. start. Crown boxscore Wis-Stout boxscore Updated Overall Statistics

Top white-collar crime prosecutor to lead SEC
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Thursday nominated Mary Jo White, a former U.S. attorney who built a reputation prosecuting white-collar criminals, terrorists and mobsters, to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission. The agency has a lead role in implementing changes on Wall Street.
Obama also named Richard Cordray to stay on as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The president used a recess appointment last year to bypass congressional opposition and install the former Ohio attorney general as head of the bureau. That appointment expires at the end of this year.
White spent nearly a decade as the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, handling an array of white-collar crimes and complex securities and financial fraud cases. She brought down mobster John Gotti and won convictions in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.
Obama said that experience makes White well-suited to implement legislation he championed to change the behavior on Wall Street.
"I'd say that's a pretty good run. You don't want to mess with Mary Jo," Obama said at the White House. "As one former SEC chairman said, Mary Jo does not intimidate easily, and that's important because she has a big job ahead of her."
If confirmed by the Senate, White would take over the SEC from Elisse Walter, who is serving out the rest of former SEC chairwoman Mary Schapiro's term. Schapiro resigned in December.
In 2000, White led the criminal prosecution of more than 100 people – including members of all five New York crime families – accused of strong-arming brokers and manipulating prices of penny stocks. At the time the action was called one of the biggest crackdowns on securities fraud in U.S. history.
White's office also won a record $606 million in restitution from the securities arm of the Republic New York Corp. bank in 2001. That year, the bank pleaded guilty to conspiring with an investment adviser to hide hundreds of millions of dollars in losses from Japanese investors.
Cordray has run the consumer bureau since last year. Senate Republicans had opposed Cordray, as well as the concept of the consumer bureau.
Before she was elected to the Senate last fall, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., conceived of the idea of a consumer protection bureau. Obama considered naming her as commissioner, but her nomination would likely have run into deep opposition on Capitol Hill.
White, 65, heads the litigation department at law firm Debevoise & Plimpton.
She was the first woman to hold the position of U.S. attorney in Manhattan, one of the most prestigious positions in federal law enforcement. During her tenure from 1993 to 2002, White won convictions of white-collar criminals, drug traffickers and international terrorists. The most notable conviction was Ramzi Yousef, mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

It is easy to take the amount you want. It is easy to use. The taste is real sour, so you want to drink it fast and then drink something else after ;-)
Posted by Reviewer3320551 on Jun 29, 2012
Best vitamin C on the market. I have tried many brands and this is the one I tolerate best.
Excellent product
Posted by Reviewer1795820 on Jun 10, 2012
Since I started taking it, I got addicted to it. It is so tasty, I definitely feel less pain in my joints but I also take many other products and antioxidants together, so it might be a synergistic effect.
No Sodium added/ Not sodium ascorbate: Most Pure Vit c around.
Posted by Reviewer2025236 on Jan 06, 2012
This vitamin c is best for me because it is pure with no binders or fillers and as I have many allergies , I have reacted to other vitamins. Purity is important to me. Individually, I prefer it because it is Not the sodium ascorbate.

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary AnswersAbout the Author: Ellen O. Tauscher serves as Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security.
On Sunday, I flew to Moscow to join Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and hold discussions with our Russian counterparts on the full range of arms control, nonproliferation, and missile defense issues, including a new strategic arms reduction treaty to replace the current START Treaty.
For almost fifteen years, START, which expires on December 5, 2009, has substantially reduced Cold War nuclear forces, institutionalized predictability into our nuclear relationship with Russia, and allowed both sides to monitor and verify each other's nuclear forces.
Without a new treaty, these advantages would be lost.
President Obama and President Medvedev directed negotiators to work out a legally binding and effectively verifiable agreement that would reduce delivery vehicles and warheads to levels below those contained in the START Treaty and the 2002 Moscow Treaty – before December 5.
A new START Treaty would enhance our national security and maintain a level of transparency in the strategic environment between the United States and Russia. Moreover, reducing our arsenals would in turn reduce the likelihood that nuclear warheads and technology would fall into the wrong hands. After all, the United States and Russia possess about 95 percent of the world's nuclear weapons.
Achieving this objective would be another important milestone in nuclear disarmament. President Obama and Secretary Clinton regard a new START Treaty as a down payment for future reductions, and we hope those talks would begin immediately following ratification. We will continue to further our engagement with our friends and allies, as the United States leads the global effort in arms control once again.
In his remarks in the Rose Garden after winning the Nobel Peace Prize, President Obama reiterated his ambitious nuclear disarmament goal – to achieve the peace and security of a world free of nuclear weapons. A new START Treaty is the first step in that direction.
