It appears the honeymoon is over for energy deregulation.
While energy managers told SN they still expect significant savings on electricity in a deregulated environment, many have scaled back their expectations from as high as 40% to 60% to a more modest 5% to 15%.
Even these savings may not be realized until years after deregulation occurs in any particular state because of competitive transition charges, or CTCs.
CTCs are fees added to the net price of electricity in order to pay off the billions of dollars of utility companies' "stranded investments," which include a variety of costs including bond payments and decommissioning costs for power plants and employee retraining due to deregulation.
For example, California, which deregulated in March, won't see an end to CTCs until after the turn of the century. In addition, sources said they expect to face complex negotiations and reams of paperwork as states around the country deregulate.
Texas will examine the particulars of deregulation when the next state legislature convenes in January 1999. But even if deregulation comes to pass, supermarkets like H.E. Butt Grocery Co., San Antonio, would not expect to see savings until stranded investments were paid down over the course of three or four years, said Bob Manning, engineering team leader at H-E-B.
The Texas Public Utilities Commission estimated stranded investments by all utilities at $4.5 billion; the utilities themselves place this number at two to three times that amount. "That's a swing of $5 billion to $10 billion, depending on whom you ask," Manning said.
In Texas as in other states, the debate rages over who should foot that bill. "This is a huge concern to us," Manning said. "Will stockholders be asked to pay for bad past investments? They should.
"We are concerned over how our customers will be treated," he added. "We will not take part in deregulation that takes advantage of our residential customers to give preference to industrial or commercial customers."
Whether deregulation takes effect or not, H-E-B is already taking steps to simplify and rationalize its energy usage. The retailer has added a utility database administrator who reports to the energy manager. With a total of 240 stores, H-E-B gets "lots of utility bills every month," Manning said.
"This individual's goal is to retrieve, sort and filter information to help us better understand patterns of usage," he added.
King Soopers, Denver, already has some experience with deregulation of natural gas, since Colorado deregulated in the late 1980s.
"Our experience has been relatively good," said Leonard Micek, manager of engineering at King Soopers. "We renew our contracts every year. Some years we save well over 20%, other years just 10% to 20%. But you really have to know what you use so you can plan ahead. And you have to be smart enough to know which facilities it pays [to use gas] and which it doesn't."
"Electricity doesn't get cheaper just because someone is bidding for your business," said David Noller, president and chief executive officer of the Institute for Multisite Energy Consumers, Laguna Beach, Calif.
"Deregulation just means there is competition. The winners will be the informed participants, but this is not going to happen overnight," he added.
IMEC, a national not-for-profit trade association formed late last year, seeks to help educate multisite retailers, such as supermarkets, on how best to take advantage of buying electricity in a deregulated environment.
Retailers are seeing mixed results already from deregulation, with much depending on the geographic area they operate in. Albertson's, Boise, Idaho, saves 1% to 2% on electricity in California since deregulation began there, said spokeswoman Anne Alenskis. "In higher utility rate states, we may eventually see more savings," she said.
Food Lion, Salisbury, N.C., has already experienced some savings as a result of the deregulation of the gas industry, a pattern it hopes will continue with electricity. "But while we will have more energy choices, we anticipate more paperwork, multiple contracts and more complexity in negotiations," said Tawn Earnest, corporate communications coordinator.
Associated Food Stores, Salt Lake City, saw the need for a separate department to negotiate power blocks in the future, said Tom Ramsbottom, store planner. The grocery wholesaler's membership numbers 750 independents.
"This is a very complex issue," said Edward Estberg, director of facilities at Raley's Supermarkets & Drug Centers, West Sacramento, Calif. "If you don't understand it, you can get buffaloed by marketers making claims they cannot keep."
Raley's has just begun installing meters in the 42 stores serviced by Pacific Gas & Electric, San Francisco. These units will now be serviced by a local utility. "We don't expect any great savings," Estberg said. "We're just trying to get our feet wet."

Coveted Ferrari 166 MM. Touring Barchetta Joins RM Auction's Arizona Sale
1949 Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta. Photo Credit: Hugh Hamilton ©2010 Courtesy of RM Auctions.
With preparations well underway for the 2011 collector car auction season,
announced today the consignment of a rare, race-bred 1949 Ferrari 166 MM Touring Barchetta, chassis number 0024 M, as the latest star attraction for its Arizona sale, returning January 20 21, 2011.
Originally commissioned for the 1949 Paris Motor Show, for which it was painted in the Argentinean racing colors of yellow and blue, 0024 M is considered one of the rarest and most historic early Ferraris, having been owned and raced by many notable individuals in the Ferrari world. The 10th of just 25 examples featuring striking Barchetta coackwork from Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, it made its racing debut at the 1950 Mar del Plata in Argentina, finishing an impressive first overall (pictured left). It was also raced in period in the 1951 Mille Miglia, where it was driven by well-known female driver Aprile Palmer, who purchased the car shortly afterwards.
The subject of a complete and total restoration, 0024 M is today finished in red and fitted with its original components, including chassis, numbers-matching engine, gearbox and differential. As an original entrant in the famed Mille Miglia it is eligible for nearly any event open to historic Ferraris. (Estimate Available Upon Request).
Over the years RM has earned the privilege of offering more important and historic Ferraris than any other auction house. We are thrilled to present another great series of Ferraris at our Arizona sale in January, including the rare 166MM, s/n 0024 M, arguably one of the most meticulously documented Ferraris we have ever had the pleasure of offering, says Rob Myers, Chairman and Founder RM Auctions.
Continuing RMs reputation as the global leader in the presentation of historic Ferraris at auction, the 166 MM will be joined by no less than 10 other Ferraris at the companys Arizona sale. Other notable entries include the previously-announced 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spyder, s/n 16835, offered from the personal collection of Baseball Hall of Famer, Mr. Reggie Jackson (Est. $800,000 - $1,000,000); a stunning, fully-certified 1966 Ferrari Superfast Series I, s/n 5989 SF (Est. $900,000 - $1,100,000); a fully-restored 1950 Ferrari 166 Inter Berlinetta, s/n 043S, one of just 37 examples produced and displayed at the 1950 Turin Motor Show (Est. $400,000 - $600,000); the 1995 Ferrari F50 Show Car, and a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Coupe, s/n 10199 (Est. $220,000 - $250,000).
In addition to the Ferraris, other recent lots include:
· A multiple award-winning 1933 Packard Twelve Sport Phaeton by Dietrich, the 1933 New York Show Car and previously part of the famed Otis Chandler Collection (Est. $1,500,000 $2,000,000);
· A meticulously-restored, multiple award-winning 1939 Bugatti Type 57C Three-Position Drophead Coupe, boasting an intriguing World War II provenance (Est. $750,000 - $850,000);
· A 1964 Dodge Hemi Charger Concept Car, the ultimate of all muscle and concepts cars and likely the most important Hemi-powered car in existence (Est. $750,000 - $1,000,000);
· A superbly restored 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra, CSX 3259 (Est. $650,000 - $750,000); and,
· A pair of Mercedes-Benz 300SL Coupes, including an early production example from 1954 formerly owned by Benihana founder, Rocky Aoki (Est. $450,000 - $550,00); a beautifully restored 1955 model presented in Graphite Gray with a red leather interior (Est. $700,000 - $800,000).

More than meets the eye!
I have to agree that this dress looks much better actually ON than it looks in this photo. Truthfully, it also doesn't have much "hanger appeal"--it looks almost shapeless when you first see it. But my goodness, it looks fabulous when you actually wear it! I'm relatively thin and sort of straight up and down, but this dress added some curves to my body. When you put it on, it accentuates your body by going in nicely at the waist and caressing your curves (or in my case, adding some in where there weren't any!) It is also so lightweight and comfortable to wear. The color is also brighter and more vibrant than it looks in this photo. In person, the material also has more of a sheen to it. I would say that it is true to size, and perhaps even a bit on the large/loose side. I am 5'4", 118 pounds and small chested (32A). The size 4 fit me nicely. It's funny how both a small chested girl like me, and a self-described curvy girl like the last reviewer both loved this dress and found it flattering (even in the same size). That goes to show that this dress is so great that a variety of body types can pull it off. This is what fashion should do, enhance the beauty of every woman. I am a huge Marchesa fan and this reminded me of why.

The transitional president of Yemen, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, is working to bring together the variouos factions in Yemen for the Conference of National Dialogue starting in mid-November 2012. The dialogue, expected to last six months, is intended to address the range of issues relating to the transition to a "civil state". The dialog is supposed to include drafting a new constitution for the country, and to prepare the way for Presidential and Parliamentary elections in February 2014. If the dialog fails, civil war is a probable outcome.
Yemen in the 21st Century reflected the takeover in the 1970s of the Yemeni state by northern Zaydi tribesmen through their acquiring a dominant presence in the military officer corps. The historical tension in both the pre-modern and modern Yemeni states was between state power, representing urban and non-tribal populations derived from the Shafa'i (Sunni) peasantry who lived in the fertile lands of lower Yemen, and northern tribesmen who heralded from the harsh and barren lands of upper Yemen. Upper Yemen could not support significant settled agriculture, so northern tribes from that area supplemented their income through livestock herding, trade, and most importantly, raiding the more prosperous communities of lower Yemen. The state never enjoyed full control over the tribes, but did established a delicate balance of power vis-a-vis the major tribes based on the sharing of economic and political benefits of power.
In the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (PDRY), all political parties were amalgamated into the Yemeni Socialist Party (YSP), which became the only legal party. In the aftermath of the 1994 civil war, YSP leaders within Yemen reorganized the party and elected a new politburo in July 1994. However, the party remained disheartened and without its former influence. In 1994, amendments to the unity constitution eliminated the presidential council. President Ali Abdullah Saleh was elected by Parliament on 1 October 1994 to a 5-year term. In April 1997, Yemen held its second multi-party parliamentary elections. The country held its first direct presidential elections in September 1999, electing President Ali Abdullah Saleh to a 5-year term in what were generally considered free and fair elections.
Constitutional amendments adopted in the summer of 2000 extended the presidential term by 2 years, creating a 7-year presidential term. The constitution provided that henceforth the President would be elected by popular vote from at least 2 candidates selected by the legislature. The amendments also extended the parliamentary term of office to a 6-year term, with the next elections occurring in 2009. On 20 February 2001, a new constitutional amendment created a bicameral legislature consisting of a Shura Council (111 seats; members appointed by the president) and a House of Representatives (301 seats; members elected by popular vote). In April 2003, the third multi-party parliamentary elections were held with improvements in voter registration for both men and women and in a generally free and fair atmosphere. Two women were elected. In September 2006, citizens re-elected President Saleh to a second term in a generally open and competitive election, although there were multiple problems with the voting process and use of state resources on behalf of the ruling party.
The General People's Congress (al-Mu'tamar; GPC) was generally similar to other party machines, from Mayor Daley's Democratic Party in Chicago to the contemporary National Democratic Party in Egypt. That was to say that the GPC had no real ideology to speak of, and its raison d'etre was to distribute patronage to any local leader wishing to participate in the system. The GPC could set up employment for clients of local patrons, it could arrange for projects to be built in the parliamentary districts of its members, and given the absence of disclosure laws, it could distribute funds as it deemed necessary. The boundary separating the state's finances from the GPC's was not clear. While the state awarded bloc grants to parties based on their number of seats in Parliament (so the GPC generally got 80 percent of this money), it was widely believed that such open distributions to the GPC made up only a small fraction of state monies that would find their way into the GPC coffers.
Political parties were also not allowed to have permanent symbols posted in public. However, one frequently saw the GPC's rearing horse symbol on buildings, including right next to ministries and other government buildings. Political parties were similarly supposed to have equal access to state media during campaign periods. The advantage of incumbency was that the state's media monopoly ensured continuous coverage of the head of state, often the incumbent presidential candiate as well (this was the case with President Saleh). Again, in established democracies, the incumbent leader also received considerable (some would argue disproportionate) media attention because he is head of state and/or government.
Yemen's elected Parliament prior to 2011 was largely impotent. This was due in large part to (1) GPC political domination (the party controled almost 80 percent of the seats and most leadership positions); (2) the sociopolitical profile of a majority of MPs (many with low, or very low, levels of education and even functional illiteracy, and many with military and security backgrounds); and (3) various constitutional and legal constraints on parliamentary roles and responsibilities; because of the GPC's internal diversity; the presence of some opposition MPs; and the fact that many MPs have their own individual, tribal and regional interests and agendas, Yemen's Parliament possesses a certain political fluidity and occasionally a dynamism which MPs can exploit.
Parliamentary elections were due in April 2009, but following a dispute between the main parties were postponed until 2011. Yemen's first direct Presidential election (September 1999) was won comfortably by President Saleh. A referendum held in 2001 extended the presidential term from 5 years to 7 years. The next Presidential elections were subsequently scheduled for September 2013.
Popular protests across the Arab world spread to Yemen, where thousands of demonstrators turned out across the capital, Sana'a, on 27 January 2011. The crowds called for the ouster of President Ali Abdallah Salih, who had been in office for decades, and for economic reform. The Yemen Post newspaper reported that many opposition demonstrators carried banners condemning poverty, calling for new elections and demanding change. It added that pro-government rallies also took place in other cities.
Yemen's interior minister, Mutahir al-Masri, indicated that security forces had been told to protect the demonstrators and that no violence had been reported. He said that up to 1,200 people turned out to demonstrate at one location, while 3,000 to 5,000 others turned out in another. He added that Yemeni security forces were doing their utmost to protect the demonstrators, who were expressing the will of the people.
A protest organizer in Sana'a criticized President Salih for enriching himself and not working in the interest of the nation. He said that President Salih had not respected agreements that his party has signed and that he worried only about his personal interests and treats most people in Yemen like "slaves."
Hundreds of pro- and anti-government protesters gathered 3 February 2011 in different parts Yemen's capital, Sana'a, on what opposition supporters called a "day of rage." The rallies came a day after President Ali Abdullah Saleh told Yemen's parliament he would not try to extend his presidency when his current term ran out in 2013, and that his son would not seek to be his successor. Mr. Saleh, who had ruled for 32 years, also called for a halt to all planned demonstrations. The Yemeni opposition said it welcomed his announcement, but said it would continue a string of rallies activists have said were inspired by demonstrations in Tunisia and Egypt. The opposition had not demanded Mr. Saleh's ouster thus far, but had asked for reforms and a smooth transition of power through elections.
Government loyalists clashed with protesters in Yemen on 17 February 2011, as demonstrations calling for the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh broke out for a seventh day. Witnesses said the anti-government protesters had gathered at Sana'a University in the capital and clashed with loyalists armed with batons and daggers. One person was killed on 16 February 2012 during a clash between demonstrators and police in the southern city of Aden. Protesters calling for President Saleh's resignation also maintained a vigil in a central square in the southwestern city of Taiz. Some demonstrators put up makeshift tents in the square, mirroring actions taken during recent anti-government protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
In May 2011, the violence escalated to a new level, with government troops clashing with tribal opposition. In June 2011, President Saleh was badly injured in an attack on the presidential mosque in his compound in the capital Sana'a. The country's Prime Minister and Speaker of Parliament were injured and at least three guards were killed. Elements of the Army reportedly defected to the opposition and the violence took on the character of a civil conflict. After months of conflict reports about President Saleh's intention to follow a plan sponsored by the Gulf Cooperation Council, he finally agreed to resign from the presidency on 23 November 2011. Violence continued, in part because the crisis had reinvigorated various factions, including Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. In December 2011, however, a new parliament was sworn in and in February 2012, a presidential election was held with only one candidate on the ballot, former Vice-President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi was sworn in on 25 February 2012 and on 27 February 2012 former President Saleh officially resigned from his post.
President Hadi continued to face protests and violence. Protesters demanded that President Hadi work to remove Saleh family and loyalists from positions or power, and there was anger over the immunity granted to Saleh by the new parlaiment as part of the Gulf Cooperation Council deal. President Hadi's new government did remove some Saleh family and loyalists in early 2012 from positions of leadership in the military. In addition, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and its new affiliate, Ansar Al-Sharia, continued to attempt to unseat the established government, taking advantage of the continued instability in the country.

HOROSCOPES: Jan. 18
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — To be on the safe side, it would be wise to avoid issues on which you and your special someone hold strong, opposing views. It won't take much to light the other's fuse.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Harboring a negative attitude will have a strong effect on the results of everything you do. This will include even most assignments that you normally perform by rote.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You are entitled to have some fun and enjoy yourself, as long as you don't overindulge or spend too lavishly on your personal pleasures. Both would carry heavy penalties.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Emphasizing only your interests without any concern for those of others will not only turn off everyone, it will lessen your hopes of getting what you want as well.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Guard against a tendency to make a snap judgment based on incomplete information. An incorrect conclusion will take you completely off track and only confuse you further.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It's never a good day to lend to or borrow from a friend, so don't start now. Discipline might be required in order to avoid doing so, but it behooves you to muster up the necessary strength.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Our behavior is always being scrutinized by our peers, opponents and supporters. Don't try to please them all --just watch your step and do as best you can.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Even if you believe your ideas and methods are better than those of others, they don't want to hear it, so keep it to yourself. Instead, try to accept others' points of view with an open mind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It behooves you to be extremely cautious about how you use your money, especially if you're considering a major investment. Make sure you have all the facts at your disposal.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — This could be one of those days when you feel that everyone but you is out of step with the world. Unfortunately, the reverse is likely to be true, and it's you who is not in sync with the majority. Continued...
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — The only way you'll be able to lighten your share of the load is to acquire some assistance. However, your chances of getting others to drop what they're doing to help you are nil.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You can be either great or completely horrible about managing your or anybody else's resources. Be careful, because today it might be the latter.

University of Alberta Track and Field Team
Dave is a runner through and through. He loves everything from a 1500m for the University of Alberta Track to a 50km ultra marathon. Dave qualified for, and is competing in his goal race for 2012, the New York marathon this November. He's aiming for a goal time of 2:40 to 2:45. Not limited to running, Dave has also competed in triathlons as well. He's covered everything from a sprint distance to a couple half Ironmans (namely the Calgary Ironman 70.3 and Oliver Half Iron).
Working towards triathlons required the former non-swimmer to spend some time in the water, as well as take his first road bike out for a spin in the spring 2010. His perseverance has paid off, as Dave qualified for the 2012 world championships last summer as one of top 2 in his provincial age group. Although a lot of Dave's time is spent pounding the pavement, he also loves spending time in the outdoors. Dave is an avid hiker and downhill skier. He also spends some time in the studio taking restorative and SAATVA yoga classes (the self admitted "tight guy in the corner"). Dave enjoys sharing his running knowledge and experience, and truly believes that life is all about the journey and not the destination.

I Can't Believe it's Not Box Cake Mix! Scratch Cupcakes
By: denise2434Posted by denise2434
Holy Cow!! These are the best scratch cupcakes! I'm not a big scratch cake/cupcake baker...they always come out to heavy and dense for my taste. I found this recipe on Recipe*Zaar and gave it a try because I was too lazy to go to the store to get a box mix. WOW!! These are light and fluffy!!! I wanted to share with everyone. I hope you like them!!! You just need to make sure to follow the recipe exactly! YUM!!!I Can't Believe it's Not Box Cake Mix! Scratch Cupcakes
- 3/4 cup butter, room temperature 1/4 cup Crisco shortening, room temperature 2 cups sugar, ground in the processor until fine (measure before processing) 4 large eggs 2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon almond extract or lemon extract 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 3/4 cups cake flour or all-purpose flour (or combined together) 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 cup warm half-and-half cream or full-fat milk (this is important, warm the milk! It doesn't need to be hot just warm to the touch.)
- 1. Set oven to 375 degrees (will reduce oven temperature just before baking cupcakes).
- 2. Line 24 muffin pans with paper cupcake liners.
- 3. In an electric mixer, cream butter and shortening until fluffy.
- 4. Add in the eggs(one at a time) and the extracts and beat about 3-4 minutes on high speed (the mixture will seem to be a bit lumpy but will even out when you add in the sugar).
- 5. Add in the sugar; beat well (another 3 minutes) until sugar is COMPLETELY combined.
- 6. In a bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking powder.
- 7.Blend into the creamed ingredients, along with the warm milk until smooth (about 3 minutes).
- 8. Fill the prepared pans about two-thirds full.
- 9.IMMEDIATELY, reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
- Place the cupcakes in oven, and bake for about 20-24 minutes, or until the cupcakes test done.
- ***NOTE: I just use 2 cups icing sugar and 1/2 cup white granulated sugar instead of processing the sugar, it works out fine this way.
Comments (6)

Lunch/Brunch in Media, PA
We will be in Media from out of town and need to find a place for lunch/brunch prior to a late afternoon wedding on a Sunday. I thought that Azie sounded good. Is it a buffet or do you order? what do most people find to be the best place to eat? We're open to any cuisine at all -- just hoping for good food! I also read about a French-Tha place (La Na?)
any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Azie is not a buffet. During the week, they have a great ($12) lunch - don't know about Sundays.
Stephen's On State and Iron Hill are just ok for lunch, you could dine outside at either.
I do like LaNa for good service and a quiet, enjoyable meal (BYOB) - they also have excellent week day lunch specials.
If you are looking for something more informal, definitely consider the Koffee Korner (diner-like) or House. Also, don't know if they are open on Sunday, but I really love the new Sweet Potato Cafe (Cold Stone Creamery Sign) they have salads, interesting soups and sandwiches and awesome baked goods.
In case it hasn't been said, avoid Brodeurs - it has spotty service, (almost) average food and is over priced, although I must add I haven't heard any feedback about their sunday brunch....
re: drbouba
Well, we stepped in Azie and took one look at the buffet and left. It was impressively unimpressive! First of all, there was nothing really asian about it -- eggs, etc. But the food just looked pretty bad. And they said that we could not order off of the menu. So, we went to La Belle Epoque instead and had pretty good crepes.The wedding was at The Old Mill in Media which was a lovely setting.
I live in Media and my top recommendation is actually in Swarthmore, 10 minutes away, at a place called Countryside Market. Wonderful for breakfast/brunch/lunch food. I've heard they sometimes have a wait, tho' we've always been lucky.
Second, there's a good place for brunch in Folsom called Java Joe's.
Right in Media, since you're open to any kind of cuisine, I'd recommend:
Sheree Punjab (Indian and very good, tho' I've never done their buffet food, have only had dinner off the regular menu, so if you go and have the buffet, please report back!)
Nadia's, known by locals as Noodi - Thai, and imho superior food to La Na, tho' La Na is a little more formal
Koffee Korner for brunch food
Iron Hill - if you want an eclectic menu, chain but only in local area, I believe there are 3 or 4 of them total. This is a good place if you're in the mood for a burger, salad, etc.
That is a difficult question to answer.
I'd suggest "House" at 110 S. Jackson Street- great for salads and panini- but I think they may be closed on Sundays- I just called them- recd answering machine but you can try to call on Sunday:
110 S Jackson St
Media, PA 19063(610) 566-2505
My suggestion is to drive 20-30 minutes to Kennett Square and eat at my favorite restaurant at "Sovana Bistro" - great food and you will not be disappointed.
http://www.sovanabistro.com/Otherwise, I heard good things about Azie- but I have never been there. It may be your best bet in Media.

City of Portland Professional Services Marketing and Outreach: Building a More Level Playing Field
Greg Wolley
Bruce Poinsette of The Skanner News
September 27, 2012
Greg Wolley works for the City of Portland in the Professional Services Marketing and Outreach Program. His job is a subset of the overall work that's going on with the City and minority owned, women owned and emerging small businesses. He works with businesses in various areas, including in the technical field, business services and creative services. Wolley has served on numerous boards and commissions in Portland over the past 24 years, including work with the TriMet Interstate MAX project and the River Renaissance Committee.He says his vision is to create an equitable playing field for small businesses, including minority-owned companies.
"Obviously a company that has been in business longer and has done more similar projects has often gotten the nod from our project managers because they have made a bigger impression," says Wolley. "Our goal is to promote the smaller company."
According to Wolley, the City provides support services and technical assistance, such as tuition assistance for classes at PCC's Small Business Development Center. All outreach programs for small businesses are supervised by Loretta Young.
The City has also worked to restructure how it does procurement for projects to help MWESBs become more competitive. It is developing procurement policies that will allow small Oregon certified MWESB firms to compete only with each other for projects up to $100,000.
"They (large firms) have marketing staff so they can just whip out these proposals very easily and quickly without much effort," says Wolley.
"For a small company, that's a much bigger decision and so proportionately, much more costly. And it takes much more time for them to submit a proposal than a big company. This way, we expect we'll get more proposals and more participation."
When it comes to awarding contracts, Wolley says he is looking for companies that can perform the work well and establish themselves as reliable to the City. Ultimately, it's the surrounding community that benefits, he says.
"I see that as a way for us to contribute to the local economy because small businesses are such a large part of economy here in Portland," says Wolley. "If we can get more money into the pockets of these small businesses, including the MBEs, we're doing our part to help the city's economy. "

Your #1 source for all things Entertainment, Fashion, Business... and Finance!
Every week we have different topics on love and sex. If still remember, I recently posted a topic on what men want in bed. Now lets look some behaviors we ladies do or have done men usually don't like. So here is a little on what men say about us. it is helpful for us ladies to know these things to enhance our sex life and to know the different needs of the man in our life or for that man that is on his way :).
What He does not Want in Bed?
1. Women that do NOTHING!
- We all know there are moments when we women love to lie down and let our man do all the work, but here's the thing, Men nowadays wants to have their woman also participate in the whole process of sex. Men want you to move your body and show him that you enjoy the caress and passion of having sex with him. Unless he gets turned off by being aggressed by a woman, he wants her to initiate trying different sex positions or introduce new stuff that would light the fire in your sex life. If us ladies just lie in the bed, your partner will have a problem in giving the best pleasure you want. Sex is about communication and not all communication is verbal.
2. Women that do not give him ACTION!
- Men may feel bored when the ladies do the same thing everytime they have sex. So what do we need to do? Give him ACTION! Make sure you do something to keep it refreshing and challenging for him too. You may surprise your partner with new lingerie, sex accessories or even some role playing. Don't be shy! Always show your man the other sides of who you are when you are having sex. It will be more exciting and he would feel passionate and enthused for the next time you do it.
3. Women who are INSENSITIVE!
- We know that women can sensitive when it comes to sexual emotions. Are you thinking because he is a man that he doesn't care at all? We want our partner to be sensitive with us, so it is best for us to do the same for them. Men's bodies are as sensitive as to women. Remember most men want to know he is satisfying us, we have to make him feel good. Let him know that you like what he is doing to you. Be sensitive girl! ;)
4. Women that don't KISS their PARTNER!
-Most of us ladies want to be kissed, right? Well men actually want the same thing from us to. KISS HIM! We have sensitive parts that we want to be kissed right? Well they do to! What I am trying to say here is we ladies need to be sensitive as much as men. Kissing is a major part of sex for most of us and we want it to be memorable! So kiss, kiss and kiss! This may drive them crazy for you!
5. Women that do not SHOW EMOTIONS!
- Hey ladies! Never be shy to scream your hearts out when having sex! Men do not feel the erotic side of you when you don't seem involved...they totally hate it. When you scream or moan while having sex gives them the impression that you simply love what he is doing to you! Don't try to confuse your partner! Show them your emotions and your passion; don't be hesitant to scream when you feel like you are having the best sex ever! Relax a bit, be in the moment, go with the experience and get your orgasms. This is the best way to inform him that you are enjoying the pleasure. Shouting or making noises can be a good help to you and your partner learning what you like and getting turned on in the moment.

I haven't smoked for a long time, but if I cast my mind back to my fourteen year old self, I can remember that then, cigarettes represented something very desirable; freedom. Trapped in the mundane ritual of school and detentions and homework, smoking for me was an act of rebellion, from my parents, my teachers and the powers that be.
One day at lunchtime, a group of us ventured into the woods next to our school and tentatively produced cigarettes from our schoolbags. We lit up. The smoke was choking, but I felt victorious in my defiance. Tired of incessantly being told what to do by everyone, smoking was an outlet for my dissatisfaction at being fourteen, a private protest, puff by puff.
I felt more grown up after my first cigarette and I felt like I had taken control of my own destiny in a small way. I also felt quite dizzy and a bit ill.

I'm about to upload a suite I once wrote for the school orchestra of the Maastricht conservatorium - and which consists of 3 orchestrated piano pieces by Mozart.
Problem is that the original pieces each have a different work page, so I can't put it under "arrangements and transcriptions".
What to do with this? Create a new page for the suite on Mozart's composer page?

Nine foreign athletes who made Title IX shine
There's no catch-all formula for developing top female talent around the globe. But given the level of competition and exposure that U.S. universities offer -- and let's not forget about a great education -- it's no surprise that so many foreign athletes jump at the opportunity. Long before Russian hoopster Svetlana Abrosimova (at right, with the Seattle Storm) led UConn to the 2000 national championship and Jamaican sprinter Veronica Campbell-Brown was blazing a trail at Arkansas a few years later, the playing fields forged in large part by Title IX had already proved to be fertile ground for cultivating foreign stars. Just ask Annika Sorenstam and these eight other women who've made their mark at every step along the way.

You never really know when you purchase an item from another country whether it will live up to expectations when it arrives. I have only done some test runs with it so far but the Caruth Utimate scraper is a gem. Beautifully made, easy to use and does a fantastic job.It should be in every toolbox.
If you use scrapers you have to get this one for sure, it removes 50% more wood then a thin card scraper and is so easy to use I love it.
Can't say enough how much easier scraping bindings flush is with this tool. Highly recommended!
I learned to scrape wood with a wide, thick metal scraper made from blade steel. I resorted to the thinner gauge scrapers that have been available, but was never satisfied until I got the Carruth Ultimate. This scraper has comfortable mass, stays sharp, does flats and dishes. Next purchase: the Mini for the small bits. Thanks for making these available.
This is a great scraper. It stays sharp and creates a perfect shaving
Simply incredible! I agree with all the above rave comments. A true 'must have' in any shop!
As soon as you use this tool, you discover a million opportunities where to use it. In the past I used pieces of Steel cutting industrial Hack saw blades and would sharpen it. The rigidity made for good control and the steel was of a good hardness. Carruth's is several notches better, plus it can cut both sides due to it's concave edge. Great product, congratulations.
I bought this scraper just to work on an old mandolin to replace the tone bars. While I was working on the mandolin I also was doing a bone nut & saddle on a D28 martin for a customer and the scaper worked well to help me get them shaped before final finish. Thanks for a great product. Bill's repair
These things are great! Heavy Duty and sharp as a razor. They get the job done quick and correct.
Bought both scrapers, hoped they would perform considering the price. Found them to be very dependable, sharp, and efficient. They have made my arched carving more controllable.I am pleased.

The new film, "Liberal Arts," cleverly suggests we're never too young, or too old, to learn a thing or two about ourselves. Josh Radnor writes, directs and stars in this perceptively entertaining story which concedes that all us are capable of stumbling into contentment.
Radnor plays Jesse, a 35-year-old college admissions officer, living in New York City. Jesse jumps at the chance to return to his beloved Midwest alma mater when asked by his favorite college professor, Peter (Richard Jenkins), to attend his retirement party. While he is there, he meets Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen), a plucky, wiser-than-her-19-years, student who stirs up fond memories of his past. Their common love of literary escapism and idealistic conversations provide a mutual attraction despite their age difference.
In addition to hooking up with Zibby, Jesse befriends two diametrically different dudes who have a profound effect on his psyche. Nat (Zac Efron), a new-age, high-on-life kook helps put things into perspective with breezy comments that hit home for Jesse. While Dean (John Magaro), a suicidal misfit, awakens Jesse's misconceptions about having been in college was the best time of his life.
Romanticizing about the future, as well as the past, link Radnor's characters to one another. They're also obsessive about age and the restrictions it imposes upon them. But soon they learn to ease their discomforts through interaction.
The radiant Zibby turns Jesse onto classical music and suddenly he finds while listening to Mozart (via headset) in the city, people become more attractive. In turn, he pretentiously sends her a copy of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" to replace Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight." In a funny scene, Jesse does the math on the age difference between the two of them. When he was19, she was 3, not good. But when he gets to age 87, she'll be 71, not bad.
Radnor ("happythankyoumoreplease") excels on all levels in "Liberal Arts." His writing is audaciously amusing and at the same time, extremely insightful. Richard Jenkins, the consummate actor, always gives his best even in horrible films (think "Hall Pass") gets some of the best lines in the film. One, in particular, rings so true ..."Nobody feels like an adult. It's the world's dirty secret." And pay attention to Allison Janney's vitriolic rant as an aging literature professor, it's utterly spot on.
"Liberal Arts" is a crowd pleaser (the audience actually clapped at the end) because we can identify with the characters, young and old. As Nat points out to Jesse, "Age is a stupid thing to obsess about." How true.

Each ticket features the sport pictogram and the colour scheme reflects that of the venue, to help spectators find their destination later this summer.
There is a hologram, barcode and name of booker on every ticket, along with several other safety features to reduce counterfeiting.
Ticket holders will also receive a Games Travelcard and spectator guide with their tickets.
London 2012 Organising Committee Chief Executive Paul Deighton, said: 'With the Olympic Flame now making its journey towards the Olympic Stadium and with less than 100 days to go before the Paralympics, I can't remember a more exciting week on the road to London 2012.
'It is important now that people keep their tickets in a safe place ready for Games time and also to be wary of websites and organisations claiming to have Games tickets to sell.'
Tickets for the Paralympic Games are now on general sale from the London 2012 ticketing website. Remaining Olympic Games tickets go on sale on Wednesday 23 May.
