Community College Internships (CCI)
The application deadline for the 2017 Fall CCI Term is May 31, 2017 at 5:00 PM ET.
The DOE Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists manages this program in collaboration with the DOE National Laboratories who host the student participants.
A full-time student is defined as a student who is enrolled for the number of hours or courses the school considers to be full-time attendance (as defined by the Internal Revenue Service).
No, you must have your Lawful Permanent Resident status at the time of applying (by the application deadline).
You are not required to have a valid passport to apply to the CCI program. If you are a LPR with an expired passport, list your old passport number and the expired expiration date.
Eighteen is the minimum age for participation regardless of your education level.
To be eligible to apply, you must be currently enrolled as a full-time student at a community college or accredited two-year college and completed at least one semester. You also must have completed at least 6 credit hours in science, mathematics, engineering, or technology course areas, and completed at least 12 credits hours towards a degree.
Yes, students may apply up to three times to the CCI program, and may participate in a maximum of two internship appointments in the CCI program.
You do not have to have health insurance at the time of applying, but you must have health insurance in order to begin your appointment.
Yes. To be eligible to apply you must have a minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0. Considering significant figures, a GPA of 2.95 rounds up to a 3.0 GPA. Your GPA must be verifiable on your undergraduate transcripts.
No. To be eligible to apply you must have a minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0. Considering significant figures, a GPA of 2.94 rounds to a 2.9 GPA.
No, you can be considered for only one program per term, and may only submit one application per term. The online application system will allow you to access applications for multiple programs (e.g., SULI and CCI, SULI and VFP, etc.) within the same term , but will only allow you to submit once, thereby limiting you to one application. Once the first submission is made, the system will block additional submission attempts within that term, regardless of program, and will return a message stating that a submission has already been received.
No, letters of recommendations cannot be transferred from previous applications or from applications created on the previous system. The recommendation letter form has changed. To request new recommendations, please visit your status page to request new recommendation forms for your recommenders.
No, the essay questions have changed in the new application so you will need to draft new essays.
No, you can request your recommenders as soon as you begin the application by submitting the name and contact email in the recommender section of the application. An automated email will be sent to your recommender with the information about how to submit a letter of recommendation on your behalf. You are responsible for ensuring that recommenders submit their recommendation online before the application deadline.
No, once you click on the "Submit Application" button to submit your application you cannot change the application content. You can still update your personal contact information and change recommenders or send reminders to recommenders, but that's it.
Yes, the two required letters of recommendations must be submitted electronically by the application deadline. Recommenders must submit their letter through the online form, letters in any other form will not be accepted.
Yes. Your application can be submitted before recieving your recommendations.
No, recommenders must use the electronic process. A URL unique to your application will be sent to the individuals you selected to submit a recommendation on your behalf. Each person writing a recommendation for you will complete the online recommendation form and submit it electronically. This is the only way to ensure that your recommendations are properly linked with your application.
If the application system generated email request for recommendation is not received by the recommender, please check that their email address is entered correctly on the application, or advise the recommender to check their email filter settings. Depending on these filter settings, the recommendation request email message might have been received into a "Trash" or "Spam" message inbox. Recommenders will receive the Recommender Request via email from firstname.lastname@example.com, and to ensure delivery, they may also consider adding email@example.com onto their safe recipients list.
Letters of recommendation should be requested from individuals familiar with your academic achievements or professional accomplishments. College faculty members who teach science, technology, engineering, or mathematics courses are good references, but you may also use former high school teachers or employers.
You cannot delete a recommendation once it has been received by the online system. You may request up to 3 recommendations for your application, but the first two that are completed in the system will be the ones included with your application for review.
Beginning with the 2015 Summer Term, the online application system will automatically calculate your cumulative GPA using information you enter directly from your transcript(s). The total number of accredited undergraduate institutions attended as a matriculating student must be entered. Based on this entry, the system will require entry of semester hour and quality point information for each attended institution. Additionally, a transcript for each listed institution must be uploaded into the application system.
A matriculated student is defined as one who has applied for, been formally admitted to, and has registered for one or more courses in a degree granting program to which he/she has been admitted.
Yes, to be eligible, applicants are required to provide transcripts for every college or university that they have listed as attended on their DOE CCI application. This must be the most recent transcript(s) available at the time of application. You must upload a ".pdf" copy of all undergraduate official/unofficial transcripts to the online application system. See the information on submitting transcripts on the How to Apply page.
There are two forms of unofficial transcripts that are acceptable to submit with your completed application:
PDF copies of transcripts uploaded into the system must be clearly legible, must be labeled with your name and the name of the university/college, must clearly show all courses and course grades and cumulative GPA, and must have your social security number and date of birth blackened out. Transcripts that do not clearly identify the applicant's name and institution or are not legible will be considered invalid.
The Department of Energy has Directives regarding the use and protection of PII on its computer systems. To minimize the risk of identity theft, and to protect applicants, any submitted transcripts or application materials must have all social security numbers and/or dates of birth removed (blanked out, blackened out, made illegible, etc.) prior to uploading into the application system. Any applications found to contain PII in the form of Social Security numbers and/or dates of birth will be deemed non-compliant and will not be released to host laboratories or facilities for review or consideration.
If it is a scan of your official transcript, is legible, and it clearly shows your name, undergraduate institution, and GPA/grade information then it is a valid transcript.
The online application will ask you to select your first and second choice laboratories based on a drop-down list of DOE laboratories. The WDTS website contains information on currently participating DOE laboratories and the research and development (R&D) programs carried out at those sites. You will also find links to home pages of each participating laboratory. You will need to do your own homework on which laboratories and research areas interest you most. Choose a laboratory based on the type of technical topic areas or R&D areas that interest you.
You must select a first and second choice laboratory. It is to your benefit to make two different laboratory choices.
Yes. As you explore the laboratories' websites you may identify scientists or engineers, programs, or divisions you would like to contact. The more you know about a laboratory, the better chance you have of making a laboratory choice appropriate to your interests and skills. HOWEVER, potential technical/research advisors are NOT authorized to offer you an appointment. If you are selected you must receive an official letter from the Department of Energy. This notification will be followed by an official offer letter from the laboratory or its administrative agent. You have not been given an official offer until you receive these two things.
The online application system will highlight the required elements of the application that have not been completed. You will not be able to submit your final application until all the requirement elements have been provided.
To be considered, an applicant must meet all eligibility criteria and have submitted an application comprising all required materials. Prior to the merit assessment and evaluation, an initial review of all applications will be conducted to verify applicant eligibility and ensure all the required application materials have been provided. Applications will then be subject to a merit review process and selection process. From the highly reviewed applications, project advisors at the host laboratories select those applicants whose skills, knowledge, and research interests are best aligned with the technical projects available to interns for the pending CCI term.
Applications will be assessed based upon the applicant's performance in completed academic coursework in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM); strength of recommendation letters; expressed technical interests; and the applicant's background, experience, accomplishments, and interests as they relate to the R&D programs at the host laboratories.
Your response to this question will not affect the selection process for your application. DOE collects this for internal information purposes only to gauge whether applicants know about or have participated in other DOE programs.
The chances of being selected depend on many factors: the total number of applications submitted, the number of applications requesting the same first and second choice laboratory placements, the number of available internship opportunities at each laboratory, and the availability of funds. These factors vary each year so it is not possible to determine an individual's chances of being selected for any given application cycle.
The CCI program focuses on providing technical internships in areas of science, engineering and technology relevant to and supported by the Department of Energy R&D programs. While applicants are not required to major in areas of technology, science, engineering, mathematics or computer science, applicants who demonstrate education, aptitude, and interest in these fields will be most competitive.
You will receive an e-mail message from DOE notifying you of your selection. The status page of your application account will also indicate you have been selected for an internship offer. This will be followed by an email with a more detailed offer package from the host DOE Laboratory's education office including an appointment letter and other documents explaining the details of your appointment. Please make sure the email address on your account is current and check your status page frequently after February 1st as you will only have 10 days in which to accept an offer once it has been made.
The offer may come from your first or second choice laboratory. You will only receive one offer during the application cycle. If you do not accept the offer, an additional or alternative offer will not be given.
Laboratory project advisors are not authorized to make appointment offers to you directly. Official notification must come first from DOE and then from the laboratory education office.
No. If you decline an offer you will not be extended another offer.
You must reapply.
DOE tries to match to the extent possibl, the applicant's technical interests with available projects and advisors at the DOE National Laboratories, but this is not always possible. Please also keep in mind that project advisors read your applications carefully and look for students who they think would benefit from being in their lab or project group.
Participation requires a full time commitment for the duration of the appointment period. You should plan to be at the facility full time and avoid obligations that will interrupt your appointment. Summer appointments are for 10 weeks.
Appointments are for 10 weeks. Although you must participate for the entire appointment period, you may have flexibility at some laboratories for start and end dates. Some DOE laboratories may have set dates. If you are extended an offer and you have restricted availability, check with the laboratory to see if it can accommodate you.
The program does not include vacation or sick leave. You are not expected to be present on days that your laboratory is closed due to a holiday. Most research advisors will help you design a schedule that is mutually agreeable.
You will receive your stipend check according to a pre-arranged schedule from the DOE laboratory hosting and administering your appointment. It varies from lab to lab. Once you have accepted an offer, you will be given a pay schedule.
DOE cannot give participants tax advice. All stipends paid to you are reported to the Internal Revenue. Some laboratories do not withhold taxes from these payments; participants at these labs should give consideration to filing Form 1040-ES on a quarterly basis and paying estimated income taxes in order to avoid late payment penalties. Participants should consult a tax expert with their questions.
You will be reimbursed for inbound and outbound travel between your home or school and the appointment site, if the distance is more than 50 miles one way. Reimbursements are made according to the standard travel policy of the DOE laboratory administering your appointment.
It depends on the host DOE laboratory. Some sites have housing already arranged or have onsite housing; at others you need to arrange it yourself (these sites generally provide information to help you.). The program generally provides either a housing allowance or pre-arranged housing. Housing allowances are taxable. In some cases, your housing situation may result in costs to you over and above the housing allowance. In some cases, students who live within 50 miles of the host site are not eligible for housing or housing allowances.
You will need to check with your college to see if your research experience qualifies for college credit. DOE and the laboratory that administers your appointment can provide you with the appropriate documentation if your college does provide this option.
No. Tuition and fees incurred during your participation in the program are not reimbursable.
This varies from lab to lab. At some laboratories you will be considered a temporary employee. At others you will be considered a program participant and will not enter into an employer/employee relationship with the host laboratory, or DOE.
Yes, you will be asked to prepare a project report, in consultation with your project advisor. You will also be required to provide a poster or oral presentation. Laboratories will arrange poster sessions for students or require oral presentations at the end of the appointment.
Your project advisor should provide the following: on-going technical guidance and advice; appropriate materials, equipment, technical and clerical support, and office space for you to perform your technical project activities; and a professional and stimulating intellectual atmosphere.
You can send your questions to DOE here.

Futures on major stock indexes are an inch higher Friday morning except for the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, which is following Apple (AAPL) lower.
European markets look muted, but the same can't be said about the Shanghai Composite in China, which surged 4.3% after a stronger-than-expected reading from the HSBC purchasing-managers index — spurring hopes of an economic turnaround.
Add Centene (CNC) to today's watchlist. Shares are down 4.1% in premarket trading. The Medicaid insurer cut its 2012 earnings outlook on account of higher costs. In addition, the firm's 2013 revenue outlook undershot the Street's hopes.
Also watch Tivo (TIVO). The digital-video firm's shares have risen 4.8% in light premarket trading after Goldman Sachs analysts upgraded their investment rating on the stock to "buy," arguing that the company is "firing on all cylinders" on account of less churn among subscribers and new distribution deals.
Apple is down nearly 2% premarket after a federal jury in Delaware found the company infringed on mobile-device patents, a win for Nokia (NOK) and Sony Corp of America.

AG Gonzales was shown to be pretty much a clueless political hack who did for the DOJ exactly what Brown did for FEMA. He was largely seen as incapable of managing urine out of a cowboy boot with the instructions written in plain english on the heel.
His legal mind was considered sub-par with the sole reason for his "success" being traced back to his loyalty to the President.
Despite general thoughts, I think that AG Ashcroft, in the end, had the courage to stand up for the American people and that is what lead to his departure.

NEW ALBANY – Authorities arrested more than 20 indictees, mostly in Union County, on drug charges Monday.
The New Albany Police Department, Union County Sheriff Department, Mississippi Department of Corrections and the U.S. Marshal Service participated in the roundup.
"We had right at 30 on the list," said Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards. "All of them for selling drugs – cocaine, marijuana, prescription drugs.
"We've got them all the way from Jericho to Cornersville," he added, noting tiny communities at the east and west ends, respectively, of the county. "And we have a few that are in other counties."
"Operation Déjà vu" began about 5 a.m.
"We try to start early and hit as many places as we can before daylight, because once the word gets around and they start talking to each other, it becomes more difficult," said New Albany Police Chief David Grisham, for whom this was likely the last such mass sweep before his June 30 retirement.
"Back before we had cell phones, it was a lot easier to get them rounded up," he said.
New Albany Police Corporal Stuart Dodds said, "When we knock on the doors, the majority of them know; they don't even ask questions. The ones that do, we show them what we have on them, and they put their heads down and come on with us.
"You have one or two occasionally that want to try something," Dodds added, "but the majority of the time everything goes smooth."
From early morning, suspects – many in clothing they might have worn to bed – were walked, hands bound with handcuffs or zip ties, into the Union County Jail and Justice Court. One woman wore a lime-green shirt avowing, "Work hard; play hard."
Some indictees were arrested at work. Police and sheriff officers rode to a Pontotoc factory to pick up one, who was already on parole from multiple previous convictions. After they presented the arrest warrant, plant officials called the employee to the front office, where officers declared the latest charge against him and quietly slipped two linked sets of handcuffs on him so that the massive man's hands would be securely but not painfully confined.
"How'd I get a sale charge?" he protested. "I ain't sold no drugs."
Later in the Union County Justice Courtroom he pleaded to law enforcement officials, "I'm trying to do the right thing. I been trying to stay out of y'all's way."
Told that his prior convictions could net him habitual offender status and a life sentence, he sobbed openly.
"I can't handle that," he said as he was escorted toward the jail.
Some indictees were so familiar with the arrest process, they seemed almost comfortable with it. One was even more nonchalant.
"One said, 'How many charges you got against me?'" Dodds recalled. "They told him it was three counts, and he laughed and said, 'They missed a bunch.'"

Okay! Okay! I think I'm ready to talk about it now.
They had been using strut zones within the timber and were henned up, so my plan was to slip in there very early. As I was easing into position, I looked up and realized that I was 20 yds. from a roosted gobbler. I could only ease into a seated position, against a bare cedar, and wait. As the sun came up, I learned that I was in the middle of 6 roosted gobblers! The boss was strutting on the limb, 60 yds. away. It was spectacular!
Iowa law allows you to shoot on the limb during legal hours, but I will not do it. I had to see what he was going to do when he flew down. The boss came down first and began to strut his was to my set-up. Then the closer gobbler dropped down right in front of me. I stood out like a sore thumb at that range and he began to run to the right. Bad angle! I shot right over his head and he flew. I turned back just in time to see the boss tom also in flight. If I had eaten breakfast, I'd have lost it right there.
But hey, I cannot complain. While tough, this season had given me several big pieces of breast meat, some awesome memories, and a lot of hard earned lessons. It's all good. I've still got a couple of weekends. Who knows?

Drooling is saliva flowing outside the mouth.
Salivation; Excessive saliva; Too much saliva; Sialorrhea
Drooling is generally caused by:
Some people with drooling problems are at increased risk of breathing saliva, food, or fluids into the lungs. This may cause harm if there is a problem with the body's normal reflexes (such as gagging and coughing).
Some drooling in infants and toddlers is normal. It may occur with teething. Drooling in infants and young children may get worse with colds and allergies.
Drooling may happen if your body makes too much saliva. Infections can cause this, including:
Other conditions that can cause too much saliva are:
Drooling may also be caused by nervous system disorders that make it hard to swallow. Examples are:
Popsicles or other cold objects (such as frozen bagels) may be helpful for young children who are drooling while teething. Take care to avoid choking when a child uses any of these objects.
For those with chronic drooling:
Call your health care provider if:
The health care provider will do a physical exam and ask questions about your symptoms and medical history.
Testing depends on a person's overall health and other symptoms.
A speech therapist can determine if the drooling increases the risk of breathing in food or fluids into the lungs. This is called aspiration. This may include information about:
Drooling caused by nervous system problems can often be managed with drugs that reduce saliva production. Different drops, patches, pills or liquid medicines may be tried.
If you have severe drooling, the health care provider may recommend:

Angrier Birds: NSA Turns to App Data to Track Targets
The makers of mobile apps catch flak for collecting personal data on users to peddle to advertising companies. It turns out cyberspooks are interested as well.
The latest documents from former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, published Monday, show American and British spies mine the growing app ecosystem for information on intelligence targets.
The disclosure adds another layer to the debate over the information users broadcast about themselves now that they carry an Internet-connected computer in their pockets.
The NSA, for instance, mines the location tags on iPhone photos as well as pictures uploaded to Flickr, Photobucket and Facebook, according to a 2010 document published by the New York Times, ProPublica and the Guardian.
"Perfect scenario," one slide says, "target uploading photo to a social media site taken with a mobile device."
The newly disclosed NSA documents date from 2010 to 2011, and may not reflect current NSA practices.
The NSA also learned how to capture data from popular apps such as Angry Birds, according to the three media organizations. The story does not claim that the NSA is capturing the data, only that it might.
In 2010, the Journal reported that many popular smartphone apps were transmitting identifying information about the phones, their users, and their locations to outside parties, often without the user's permission.
"There are so many holes in the technology," said James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who advises federal officials on cyber policy. "The app revolution has really been an opportunity for them. You know apps are not going to focus on security."
Federal regulators are mulling what app makers should have to disclose about the data they collect on users – though Washington is focused on protecting people from advertisers, not its own spies.

Comment Taxes? (Score 3, Insightful) 119
Is apple willing to pay the taxes on all that for you? Seriously that gotta be at least 13K in prizes for which the US gov will want ~ 50%. Most companies offer people the prize or let then refuse it all together (this is what "The Price is Right" does). Most people end up turning down prizes because they can't afford to pay the taxes on them. Even if the person has the cash on hand to pay the taxes who is going to fork over 5K just to get a prize. Basically they'd be getting everything at half price. Apple knows this and is using the "prize" as just a publicity stunt..

It Takes a Fashion Village!
More than a dozen pros from Charleston and New York—including award-winning fashion photographer Caroline Knopf, who lives in both cities—joined forces to produce the fashion feature, "Rite of Spring". Check out this gorgeous "fashion story," inspired by March coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb.
I'm finding it hard to believe that it's been eight years since Charleston magazine launched the first Charleston Fashion Week (CFW). It was a highly aspirational, tiny seed of an idea—19 runway shows by local retailers over five nights under what we thought was a huge tent in Marion Square. That little seed sprouted and grew, and now rambles like fig vine, covering not only Marion Square but inching into other parts of the peninsula and Mount Pleasant for a fashion-focused takeover of the area. This year is no exception; in addition to the 48 runway shows over five nights and a day of bridal, there are new tents and off-site events, such as trunk shows and pop-up shops cropping up all over town, as well as increasing attention from New York on the emerging designer and model talent. Turn to the special section on Charleston Fashion Week for all the details.
Beyond the stylish see-and-be-scene happenings in Marion Square this month, what's intriguing to me is the growth and evolution of a fashion industry cluster right here in Charleston. From the plethora of boutiques and shops, both national and local, to the sheer number of artists and designers crafting lives and businesses—it's been dramatic to say the least. That's why we decided to host a photo shoot/party at the industrial-chic downtown bar Warehouse to gather some of the players in this burgeoning sector of the city. In "Fashion Insiders", you'll meet moguls (like former Lacoste USA CEO Bob Siegel, whom I like to call the Michael Jordan of fashion, as he's been pulled out of retirement twice!) and designers (such as TROUBADOUR creator Lindsey Carter, who chose the Lowcountry as her home base and sells her women's clothing line at Neiman Marcus and boutiques around the globe), not to mention our world-class photographers (including Caroline Knopf, who shot our fashion feature, "Rite of Spring"), hair and makeup artists, and more.
It was a marathon of a shoot, but fun and buzzing with conversations among creatives. I overheard handbag designer-turned-stylist Mary Norton recalling the early days "when local fashion was just Leigh Magar, Ayoka Lucas, and myself and now is a thriving group of wonderful artists." And I was happy to learn that Mary's back in the design game again, developing two new Moo Roo lines. Enjoy learning what else is going on within our fashion scene in this style-focused issue, and we look forward to seeing you at the ever-so-much-bigger CFW tents!

4. What's your favorite drink at Starbucks or other specialty coffee shop?

Oh Come, All Ye Faithful, Oh Little Town of Bethlehem, or Oh, Holy Night? Or, though it's not actualy even Christmas-related and certainly not a Christmas Carol, despite being played most frequently in proximity to Christmas, the John Coltrane version of My Favorite Things. But that probably can't count, because I like musicals and jazz a bit and, well, simply love most of that musical.

Sparks flying out of the hot water baseboard heaters and sounded like someone hittin' momma's big fiberglass laundry room sink with a hammer ,,,multiple times . It didn't ruin the TV, but it turned it on ,,,FULL VOLUME !! Dad was dancing all over the house ,,really fast,,,putting out little fires in the carpet .
We lived throught it with only the loss of the ON/OFF switch of the TV . And nobody soiled their britches [8|].

We often receive requests for whole wheat recipes using Bisquick® mix. Here's one of our favorites!
For a cool, refreshing breakfast, skip the butter and top the waffles with fresh fruit and vanilla yogurt.
Make it fun by topping with slightly sweetened fresh fruit and vanilla yogurt.
One minor problem with cooking waffles is that waffle irons vary in size and shape, making it impossible to give an exact yield. Generally, 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter will make one waffle.
Toasted nuts give these waffles a delicious crunch. To toast nuts, bake uncovered in an ungreased shallow pan in a 350°F oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

It's Showtime 85kg Title Vacant
- Written by Dave Walsh
It's Showtime announced today that their 85kg World Title, previouly held by Melvin Manhoef, was now vacant. According to their official statement:
"Melvin Manhoef was in possession of this title from August 2009. However, due to various reasons he hasn't been able to defend his title. An IT'S SHOWTIME world champion has to defend his title within 1 year, and IT'S SHOWTIME is able to extend this period with another year. Because the term of maximum extension will end next August, we have decided to make this title vacant immediately."
This doesn't come as a big surprise - earlier this year I spoke with It's Showtime president Simon Rutz, who told me that Manhoef being stripped was indeed a possibility, especially since the champion had declared he likely would not compete for It's Showtime in 2011.
Manhoef won the belt in 2009, defeating Denes Racz to become the first 85kg champion. Since then, Manhoef has only fought for It's Showtime once - a 2010 fight with Gokhan Saki that took place outside the 85kg weight limit. In fact, Manhoef only has two kickboxing fights in that time, as he has been more focused on his MMA career.
While it's unfortunate to not see Manhoef competing, this is a good move. It's Showtime is really working on emphasizing their titles, and making sure that they are held by champions who will defend them. I'm glad they are sticking to their contractual promises regarding title defenses, and look forward to seeing what is next in this division. Now let's just hope we can get Orono back to defend his 65kg title soon.
Regarding the future of the belt, It's Showtime stated "We don't know yet when and between who the next 85kg max title fight will be. Also it is not an impossibility that Melvin will fight for this title in the future."

Appeal aims to jail asbestos violator for contempt of court
A notorious Surrey-based demolition contractor who repeatedly exposed his unprotected workers to asbestos contamination is again in the crosshairs of WorkSafeBC.
Arthur Moore last year defied repeated orders from the workplace safety agency and then continued his asbestos removal and demolition business in violation of a court injunction granted last August that indefinitely barred him from operating.
WorkSafeBC tried this spring to have Moore jailed for contempt of court but lost the case on a technicality.
An appeal has now been filed that could, if successful, put him behind bars for up to 120 days.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Jeanne Watchuk last month found Moore was a "significant public safety concern" because he recruited vulnerable workers, including young teenagers and recovering addicts.
"Numerous employees were repeatedly exposed to asbestos," she ruled, adding there was a "compelling case" for jailing Moore.
But the judge rejected the contempt application, because the original injunction named Moore doing business as AM Environmental and did not make it clear enough WorkSafeBC also intended it to apply to Moore personally.
Moore operated last fall under different business names at sites in Delta and Richmond, according to court evidence.
Workers and former associates say Moore has continued to operate in recent months at job sites in Surrey and Abbotsford under the name Pro Scan Environmental.
The appeal is expected to argue in part that the judge erred because a sole proprietorship business is indistinguishable from Moore operating as himself.
Moore quotes low rates to demolish old houses – a fraction of the price charged by competitors who take required safety precautions in dealing with asbestos.
He claimed to take samples and get reports certifying buildings asbestos-free before demolition.
But according to court evidence the reports he provided were forgeries on letterhead stolen from legitimate labs.
Past employees testified they were told to "run" if WorkSafeBC officers showed up.
The agency's efforts have been frustrated in part because Moore has no real assets to seize.
Ex-associates say other people drive him around and help him conduct business for a cut of the profits.
"He's endangering people and he just doesn't care," said Rod Ludlow, a Burnaby man who periodically worked for Moore. "He's got to be stopped."
Ludlow said Moore seemed legitimate at first and initially provided proper masks.
"He used to buy them but he was too cheap to buy new filters," he said. "It started out good but then he started getting cheap and he'd say, 'No, no. Don't worry about it'."
Workers typically weren't told if they were handling drywall or other material containing asbestos, he added, and weren't provided other safety precautions such as showers or suits that are supposed to be taped to gloves and boots.
Ludlow hasn't decided if he will seek testing for contamination.
"What would be the point?" he asked.
There's no indication yet how soon the appeal may be heard.
Repeated efforts to contact Moore have been unsuccessful. He did not show up in court to defend himself in any of the proceedings over the past year.
Deaths from workplace asbestos exposure have been on the rise in B.C. and now account for 44 per cent of all work-related fatalities.
Most of asbestos-caused lung disease and cancers are from historic exposure – before the material's use was restricted – but WorkSafeBC has also intensified a recent crackdown on demolition contractors who don't follow the rules.

529 college savings plans are proving to be popularJanuary 29, 2014 10:56 AM
As 529 college savings plans reach their 15-year milestone, they posted record total assets of $213.5 billion in the third quarter of 2013, which highlights the popularity of the savings tool for families coping with the escalating costs of higher education.
"We have a significant number of participants across all income levels," said Mary Morris, chairman of the College Savings Foundation and CEO of Virginia 529 in Richmond, Va. "We have a higher percentage of families in higher-income brackets, but the sweet spot for 529 plans are middle income, middle America, and that's a very broad range of income level."
The 529 plans are tax-advantaged saving plans operated by states or educational institutions that make it easier to put away money for college. The earnings are not taxed by the federal government and usually not taxed by state governments as long as the money is used for educational expenses -- tuition, books, and room and board -- for the designated beneficiary.
There are no tax consequences for changing the designated beneficiary, which can be a relative or friend.
Pennsylvania's 529 college savings program includes two different plans:
• The guaranteed savings plan lets families save for future college expenses at today's rates. Under this plan, families who save enough for a semester at any state college in Pennsylvania will have enough for a semester at that college in the future no matter how much tuition goes up. If the beneficiary decides not to attend a Pennsylvania school, the money can be used at other colleges in the nation.
• Families who choose the Pennsylvania 529 Investment Plan select from a list of 13 investment options from Vanguard. The return is based on the performance of the fund.
Pennsylvania also is one of only six states that have parity. Residents here can contribute to 529 plans in any other state and still receive up to a $14,000 state tax deduction for each child. Someone with 10 children could potentially receive a $140,000 annual tax deduction.
If a beneficiary decides not to attend college, parents can close the account but would have to pay a 10 percent penalty and taxes on the earnings portion of the account.
"It's a generous benefit," Ms. Morris said. "Only six states offer parity. The majority of states that offer a tax benefit only offer it to participants in that state's plan."
According to a report prepared by the College Savings Foundation, there have been an estimated 3.4 million 529 savings plan accounts with distributions since the inception of the program 15 years ago. Total gross distributions have been an estimated $63.6 billion since inception.
"These are families that are working, saving and planning for the future," Ms. Morris said. "With 529 plans, a small amount goes a long way. The important thing is getting started and staying focused on it."
She said studies of low-income families show that a student with any savings earmarked toward college is six times more likely to attend college. "Even a little bit of savings toward college shows commitment by the family, which increases focus and commitment from the kid."

Just for the record I have very fine dogs. Some of the best in the whole country....or at least on my own end of the block.
The company's that make those spinner hubcaps should do good. Anything sold in mass in low income areas.
BTW, The Dow finished the day at 9,139.27 down 486.01, S & P 952.27 down 52.98 & the Nasdaq 1,681.64 down 98.48. This means they started the Redistributors reign at 9,525.28, 1,005.25 & 1,780.36 respectively. Care to make a wager as to where they will be located when the election day ends 4 years from now? In real terms, not just Up or Down, as there were nothing but High expectations from this point, as there were yesterday when it was still felt McCain had a chance.
Maybe a return to the Bush years of 14,000 before the D's failed policies came into effect (talk about creating a mess & being rewarded for that action) or will it sit at Dow 17,500, a mere 25% gain for the 4 years? I'd like to hear your take on where you think things are going.
Please don't say you don't know as you have no crystal ball, please remember you bought into a candidate without a track record of accomplishment so you apparently have those powers.

Henry, your article does not contradict me. I was repeating what I heard said on CNBC on Tuesday when the pundits were discussing on how stocks closed up 300. They mentioned that is also always closes up the day after the election because of the resolution of the uncertainty caused by the election.
The pundits were talking about one day -- the day after the election. Your article is talking about the election year and trends.

Marv, I'll give you the same deal as Joe.
By the way, right now I feel pretty darn good about my vote. See my thread - This could get ugly.
You can argue till the cows come home about Obama's lack of experience, but Palin takes the cake. I voted for what I thought was best for the country, not my personal pocketbook or my "values."

The twisted frame of a canoe is jammed on the rocks of the Yampa River just past 12th Street. The canoe's owner, John Fielding, and his son were able to swim to shore Thursday evening after the canoe tipped. Fielding said he will wait for the water to recede to safe levels before trying to recover the craft.

Leader of the Pack
The disappointment of not being drafted No. 1 by his favorite team as a kid. The hours upon hours spent in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center green room. The idea of sitting the bench behind a legendary quarterback. His lack of Division I scholarship offers coming out of high school. The less-than-stellar NFL track record of Jeff Tedford-coached quarterbacks.
On April 23, 2005, Aaron Rodgers had plenty to talk about in the moments after the Green Bay Packers finally chose him with the 24th overall pick in the NFL Draft. But near the end of his phone call with Wisconsin reporters that day, Rodgers was asked about how much his draft-day tumble had cost him financially. No. 1 overall pick Alex Smith would wind up getting a six-year, $49.5 million deal from the San Francisco 49ers. Rodgers, meanwhile, would get a five-year, $7.655 million deal from the Packers.
"I'm just really excited about being a Packer. That (money) is not why I play," Rodgers replied. "It's nice, but I've got an opportunity to learn from the best quarterback of his era, and I'm excited about doing that. And like I said, everything happens for a reason and I'm excited about the opportunity to be a Packer."
Eight years later, on another draft weekend, Rodgers made up for those lost earnings – and then some. On Friday morning, he signed a five-year, $110 million contract extension with the Packers that reportedly guaranteed him $40 million up front, will pay him $62.5 million over the first three years and, yes, made him the highest-paid player in the NFL. Rodgers said contract talks didn't start until the offseason began and "picked up some steam the last couple weeks."
And yet again, as he stood in the middle of the Packers locker room, surrounded by a throng of lights, cameras and questions, it was about more than just the dollars and cents for Rodgers. Certainly, he said, it was humbling to be paid such an incomprehensible amount of money to "play a sport that I love." And he fully acknowledged that such a paycheck not only meant financial security, but also carried "a responsibility I take very seriously."
But for Rodgers, it was also a chance to reflect on a still-in-progress journey that began in uncertainty and has blossomed into a truly remarkable story.
"Eight years ago, I was in that green room wondering if there was a team willing to take a chance on me. … (And) as I got on that plane in Detroit (en route to Green Bay) and it was snowing on April 24, 2005, I didn't know exactly what I was in for," Rodgers recalled Friday. "I remember a great conversation I had with (then-Packers linebacker) Na'il Diggs (on the plane), and (how) the excitement started to grow when I got to the facility when I saw some of the trophies and the names on the stadium.
"This is a special place to play. You look on the walls around the facility, as I was walking around a few minutes ago, and realize you're among greatest. There have been a lot of players who have come before you and allowed you to have this kind of opportunity that we all have and I have. It's fun to be a part of a special organization like that with an incredible fan base.
"The relationship with my teammates is very important to me. I think respect is something that's very hard to get from all the guys, but it takes your character being tested at times and you playing well on the field. I think I've done those things and the guys respect me. I'm one of the older guys now. I'm not the oldest yet, but (I'm) the longest-tenured Packer now and it's an interesting position to be in. I've seen a lot of friends go to other places and you realize how special this place is when you hear some of the stories from those guys. And you also realize how short this period is in our lives and you make the most of those relationships.
"It's kind of ironic eight years ago, the Packers took a chance on me this weekend, took a chance on me again in 2008 after seven games. I'm excited to know my future is here and I'll be here for a lot longer.
"Obviously (being) from the West Coast, I've spent eight great years here and learned a lot about myself and enjoyed my time here. But for me it's about the responsibility that comes with the opportunity I've been given and try to make the most of it."
There's little question that Rodgers has made the most of his opportunities so far.
"I think Aaron has proven himself to be a very fine quarterback, a very fine leader," general manager Ted Thompson said after the second day of the draft ended. "The Green Bay Packers and the Packer fans have been very lucky to have Aaron Rodgers come in here and do the job he has following the legend in Brett Favre. To have those two guys for your two quarterbacks for that long of time is a remarkable thing and the record, I think, is a reflection of that."
Statistically, Rodgers ranks No. 1 in NFL history (minimum 1,500 attempts) with a career passer rating of 104.9. He also ranks No. 1 in league history in lowest career interception percentage (1.73) and touchdown-to-interception ratio (3.72) and No. 2 in career completion percentage (65.7). For his career, Rodgers has completed 1,752 of 2,665 passes for 21,661 yards and 171 TDs with 46 INTs.
In 78 career regular-season starts, Rodgers has a 56-22 regular-season record and has recorded 28 games with 300-plus passing yards, 43 games without an interception and 46 games with a 100-plus passer rating. Rodgers was selected to the Pro Bowl three of the past four seasons and was the 2011 NFL MVP and Super Bowl XLV MVP after the Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers for the NFL title following the 2010 season.
As a result of that success, Rodgers' $22 million per-year average in new money surpasses the $20.1 million average that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco received in his six-year, $120.6 million deal earlier this offseason, making Rodgers the league's highest-paid player.
Rodgers, who signed a six-year, $65 million extension in October 2008 after starting just seven games, was set to earn a base salary of $9.75 million this season and an $11 million base salary in 2011. Including the two existing years, Rodgers' deal is a seven-year commitment and runs through the 2019 season, when he will turn 36 years old.
Asked if he expects to play beyond this contract, Rodgers replied, "I've played eight (seasons) – five as a starter – and I think I have eight left in my legs and body, at least, at a high level.
"This is like many deals: A lot of times you don't see a deal all the way through if you're playing well. It's just the nature of some of these contracts. That's a long way off. In order to even get to that conversation, it's going to take many years in a row at a consistently high level of play for me, which I expect to do. I'm going to get myself in the best shape mentally and physically to do that, and hopefully we can have that conversation in seven years where I can still play and maybe we can keep this thing going."

"What you destroy, we will rebuild, only better" – Slogan of Kurdish Peshmerga.
The garden I am standing in is so beautiful that I find it difficult to imagine that it was a former detention centre operated by Saddam Hussain's Ba'ath party, a place of imprisonment and torture. It is now a garden full of flowers and trees and in its centre rises the impressive Zaytun Library of Erbil. This is no accident, the Kurdish Peshmerga vowed that all these sites would be rebuilt this way once Saddam's regime ended and the people would reclaim such poisoned land for purposes such as libraries and gardens. Erbil or or Hawler as it is called by locals like much of Iraq has seen a lot of history pass its way, Alexander the Great sorted out the Persian King Darius near here and the citadel of Erbil is the oldest inhabited city in the world and a soon to be UNESCO heritage site.
But let's take a step back. What is a London based Corkonian doing in the middle of former detention centre/ garden in Iraqi Kurdistan? This region in the north is the ancestral homelands of the Kurds – the oft persecuted minority in Iraq. The Kurds constitute the largest minority without a homeland. I was at the library as part of the third House of Books workshop funded by the EU and UNESCO and run by a Humanitarian NGO called Un Ponte Per…. You can read more about their involvement here. It is the last in a series of workshops which has been looking at digitisation of texts and their preservation and its main partner is the Iraq National Library and Archives (INLA). Many institutes from Iraq joined us including the National Museum of Iraq, Centre Numérique des Manuscrits Orientaux and other projects. From the Middle East the National Library of Jordan and the American University of Beirut also took part. My story with the INLA goes back to 2004 when I managed after some effort to persuade Dr Saad Eskander to write his diary about his day to day life reconstructing the destroyed library in Baghdad.
Iraq National Library and Archives
The INLA was destroyed during and post war in 2003. Of its 417,000 books, 2,618 periodicals dating from the late Ottoman era to modern times, and a collection of 4,412 rare books and manuscripts, an estimated 60 percent of its total archival materials, 25 percent of its books, newspapers, rare books, and most of its historical photographs and maps were destroyed in various ways. This was not just a loss for Iraq, it was a catastrophe for the world on many levels.

Enjoy this creamy red potatoes and Frozen Sweet Peas side dish slow cooked with green onions and garlic cloves in Alfredo sauce and half-and-half mix.
Compared to other types of potatoes, less of the sugar in red potatoes has converted to starch. Consequently, red potatoes have a crisp texture and hold their shape during cooking. Size B small red potatoes are 2 to 3 inches in size and make attractive slices. For this recipe, cut potatoes at least 1/4 inch thick.
Alfredo sauce from a jar can be used in place of refrigerated sauce; use 1 1/4 cups.
The flavor of dill weed complements potatoes as well as green peas. Add 1 teaspoon of dried dill weed to the cooker when you add the peas.
