Skip to comments.USAID Contracts Start Flowing in $750 Million Palestinian Infrastructure Project
Posted on 01/14/2012 10:01:50 AM PST by Steve Peacock
The first round of Palestinian infrastucture contracts worth upwards of $750 million were awarded this week by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
The Infrastructure Needs Project Phase II (Solicitation #RFP294-2010-108), as the USAID endeavor is known, will help the Palestinians build or improve public works initially in the West Bank and, "if conditions permit, in Gaza" at a later time.
Task orders could be awarded under this indefinite quantity contract (IQC) for initiatives including:
Transportation networks such as primary and secondary roads, bridges and/or other transportation infrastructure;
Water systems including the supply, storage, treatment, transmission and/or distribution of water;
Sanitation infrastructure including solid waste management and disposal, wastewater treatment and reuse, pollution control, and/or ecological sanitation;
Vertical infrastructure including schools, clinics, health facilities, public buildings, government buildings and facilities, sports facilities, warehouses, food storage facilities, youth and sports centers, and/or other vertical infrastructure designed to benefit the public interest;
Electrical Power sector infrastructure to include alternative, sustainable and/or traditional forms of power generation (such as wind turbines, photovoltaic, solar thermal, geothermal, and/or fossil-fuel-fired thermal power plants), and/or electricity transmission and distribution systems in the West Bank;
Other critical infrastructure that USAID may decide to support subject to USAID development objectives and/or the availability of funds;
Operations and Management of Water Facilities;
Design/Build contracts are anticipated under this solicitation;
Procurement, transport, shipment, storage of equipment and materials;
Drilling and Equipping of Deep Water Production and Monitoring Wells and Facilities
Construction and Rehabilitation of Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution systems.
Contractors receiving the task orders on Jan. 9 were:
APCO/ArCon of Dearborn, Michigan (Contract award #AID-294-I-00-12-00005). APCO/ArCon, it should be noted, is a construction firm that likewise received $100 million in task orders during Phase One of the project;
The Morganti Group, Inc., of Danbury, Connecticut (Contract award #AID-294-I-00-12-00002);
BLD Services, LLC, of Kenner, Louisiana (Contract award #AID-294-I-00-12-00004);
American Intercontinental Constructors, LLC (AIC) of Arlington, Virginia (Contract award #AID-294-I-00-12-00006);
International Relief & Development (IRD) of Arlington, Virginia (Contract award #AID-294-I-00-12-00003); and:
CDM Constructors, Inc., of Cambridge, Massachusetts (Contract award #AID-294-I-00-12-00001).
Under the IQC arrangement, the total potential ceiling is $750 million for all contracts awarded to these, and possibly other, vendors. It is not the total for each vendor.
There's that American tax payer money again. Went will we be able to feel good about our money being used for things that benefit our people and our country?
What doesn't get siphoned off into weapons used against Israel will get ruined with the retaliation from said weapons. Just burn the money; it's a lot quicker and will yield the same results. Including the amount of "good will" we get from the Pali's.
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarters Expenses?
The Economic Disaster was created by the restrictive fishery policies forced on the New England fishing industry by the current regime.
The Economic Disaster was created by the restrictive fishery policies forced on the New England fishing industry by the current regime.
Well at least the GOVERNMENT helped Texas with it's drought and fires...... oh, wait!
We're spending money on Palestinian infrastructure????
Sorry for the fishing industry in Mass. Let me guess the restrictions had to do with saving something that is prevalent elsewhere.
Don't report $750-million went to the Palestinians - report that the $750-million in taxes paid by the citizens in city X in state X were peed away on this "noble" endeavor. Maybe that would get the wheels to squeaking. $750-million is just a number and doesn't hit home - mention where YOUR specific taxes go might do the trick.
"Let me guess the restrictions had to do with saving something that is prevalent elsewhere"
It has to do with Agenda 21 which they are fully into.
The marine resources are at high levels despite what the enviro's say.
They restricts access to our natural resources and transfer our wealth to foreign countries. Re-distribution of wealth. That's why we now import 84% of seafood and export over $10 billion with the seafood trade deficit.
There is hardly any part of our economy that they have not screwed up.
Somebody remind me. How much infrastructure did we pay for in Germany prior to 1939?
Financing the enemy's ability to attack us and our national interests borders on the treasonous. Did our "republican" House approve this?
I entirely respect your position. While sometimes I indeed phrase it that way, I try to keep my reporting as such: simply reporting, and leave it to intelligent readers such as yourself to come the inevitable conclusion that the taxpayer is getting screwed while our government executes insane policies. Others times I must word it just as you emphatically declare: "US taxpayers are footing the bill for [insert project and $ amount]."
Indeed, I encourage anyone who reads these posts to also submit comments to US Trade & Aid Monitor. In fact, I would love to post some comments as Featured Posts.
I didn't mean it to sound like it was directed at you personally, just a boilerplate gripe at the approach of reporting in cyphers and not personalizing the "donations".

Why Does Gears of War Cost $60?
Forbes' digs through the trash and unearths some truth.
Forbes is running a neat little feature right now called "Why Gears of War Costs $60". It's a reasonable enough question, really -- and there's pie charts! What more could you want from the Internet?
And there you go. $60 of Gears, a la carte.
Getting the straight dope on game development costs is, of course, difficult. Gamers know that prices have gone up about 20% for games coming out on next-gen hardware, but the companies aren't exactly forthcoming with specific reasons on how, or why.
Here's the skinny, as far as Forbes' article breaks it down:
- 25% (aka $15) goes to pay the art and design guys.
- 20% ($12) goes to pay the programmers and the engineers.
- 20% (also $12) goes to your friendly neighborhood retailer. EB / GameStop, whoever.
- 11.5% ($7) goes to a "Console Owner Fee" - ie. whichever one of the Big Boys made your hardware (Sony, MS, Nintendo.)
- 7% ($4) goes to marketing, and puts Mad World and Marcus Fenix on MTV.
- 5% ($3) goes to "market development" -- paying for cardboard Standees of the Gears Crew and elbowing other games out of the way for shelf space at your local retailer.
- 5% ($3) goes to actually manufacturing and packaging the disc.
- 5% ($3) is spent paying the Man for IP licenses or maybe hiring some big name voice actors. If your game isn't an original IP, here's where you get dinged by Marvel, Disney, or Ray Liotta's agent.
- 1.5% (just $1) goes into the publisher's pocket.
- 1.5% (also $1) goes into the distributor's pocket.
- 0.3% (about 20 cents) goes into corporate costs. Management, overhead, lawyers, etc.
- 0.05% (less than 3 cents) go into the cost of paying for the Developer's Hardware. Who knew an SDKs can cost tens of thousands of dollars?
And there you go. $60 of Gears, a la carte.

If Only $12 Goes to Retailers...Posted: Jan 09, 2007 12:00AM PST by SlaughterX
Then how can some places afford to sell it for $45? I guess they can take the couple of dollars per unit loss huh?
coolPosted: Dec 28, 2006 12:00AM PST by gizmoduk
when you break it down and then figure out how many units they sold...its doesnt seem that they made that much...but i guess $700,000 profit for retailers is nice... now lets see how much from the consoles are going where. ive heard that they (being microsoft, sony, and nintendo) lose money on each system they sell. well, i suppose that nintendo isnt losing money since they just put out a jazzed up gamecube (but i do love it).
Cough it upPosted: Dec 27, 2006 12:00AM PST by NRC
I for one, was outraged at next-gen console prices, I wanted Gears of war for my new 360, and sure as hell didnt want to pay 60 bucks! so I got my console modded to play backups, then got a "Backup" for 10 bucks. After playing Gears, I was just short of Amazed, eh ok I was amazed, ithough, " I should have just paid for a real copy! two weeks later my 360 crapped the bed. (from the mod). what to do? I went out and replaced the 360 with a new one, and bought a real copy of Gears Of War. Lesson Learned
retarded 1up editors/ForbesPosted: Dec 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by leetpants
this is just a breakdown of who gets what out of a $60 sale. The reason for increased prices are 1.The developers are greedy and trying to make extra profit. and 2.The development price of games has gone up eith the more complicated hardware, but not enough that if a game was $50 they'd be losing money they just wouldn't make as much
Hmm...Posted: Dec 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by turkish101
That's an interesting analysis, one I've never seen before. It does shed a lot of light on the money made and where it goes, but it still doesn't justify a $60 purchase (but that's just me).

The scholarly discipline of Bullshit Studies has blossomed in the last several years, fertilized by a number of critical works on the subject and the growing importance of the issue across a wide range of professions. Now, best-selling author and lifelong practitioner Stanley Bing enters the field with a comprehensive look at the many attractive jobs now available to those who are serious about their bullshit and prepared to dedicate their working life to it. What, Bing inquires, do a feng shui consultant, new media executive, wine steward, department store greeter, and Vice President of the United States have in common? What, too, are the actual duties performed by a McKinsey consultant? Other than sitting around making people nervous? Could that possibly be his core function? Likewise, what does an aromatherapist actually do, per se? Sniff things and rub them on people, for big fragrant bucks? Is that all? The answer in all cases is "Yes." They all have bullshit jobs. These few, of course, are just the beginning. Across the length and breadth of this shrinking globe, skillful bullshit artists have secured pleasant, lucrative employment, and are enjoying themselves more than you are. In virtually every occupation, from Advertising to Yoga Franchising, lucky individuals who "work" in these coveted positions enjoy the best lives imaginable -- they are paid well, they rarely break a sweat, and their professions are highly respected, because nobody really knows what they do. At once funny, useful, and tolerably philosophical, this groundbreaking work takes a close look at 100 bullshit jobs -- the money they bring with them, the actual tasks and activities involved (if any), and famous and successful examples of each position, who will provide the neophyte with inspiration. Most crucially, Bing goes on to offer what others so far have not--a clear, concise strategy to help job-seekers at every level reach for that brass ring, knowing full well that it may be attached to the nose of a bull.
The Big Bingby Stanley Bing
A corporate mole's-eye view of the society in which we all live and toil, creating one of the most entertaining, thought provoking, and just plain funny bodies of work in contemporary letters. Stanley Bing knows whereof he speaks. He has lived the last two decades working inside a gigantic multinational corporation, kicking and screaming all the way up the ladder. He has seen it all -- mergers, acquisitions, layoffs, the death of the three-martini lunch -- and has himself been painfully re-engineered a number of times. He has eaten and drunk way too much, stayed in hotels far too good for him, waited for limousines in the pouring rain, and enjoyed it all. Sort of. Most importantly, Bing has seen management at its best and worst, and has practiced both as he made the transition from an inexperienced player who hated pompous senior management to a polished strategist who kind of sees its point of view now and then. In one essential volume, here is all you need to know to master your career, your life, and when necessary, other weaker life forms.
The Big Bing : Black Holes of Time Management, Gaseous Executive Bodies, Exploding Careers, and Other Theories on the Origins of the Business Universeby Stanley Bing

Bingsop's Fablesby Stanley Bing Steve Brodner
For more than twenty years, Stanley Bing has peerlessly explained corporate culture and strategy with wit and insight. Now he brings us this engaging and instructive book of white-collar fables that have charmed generations of businesspeople since Greece was glorious and Rome was grand, brilliant gems of wisdom flowing from the pen of the mysterious, legendary author known throughout the ancient corporate world by a single name: Bingsop. Bingsop's Fables is animated by a cast of archetypal characters that are as iconic and representative of human nature as were the jackdaw, the dull, the snake, the hare, the lion, the horse, and all the rest of the birds and beasts that populated the stories of that other fabulist, Aesop. The Stupid Investor, the Miserable Misery Mogul, the Ill-Tempered PR Person, and the Potentially Generous CEO-each struts and frets his hour upon the stage and, in the end, presents us with a moral that rings so true it would hurt if we were not also laughing. Festooned with provocative, witty illustrations by New Yorker artist Steve Brodner, this lean, muscular edition will equally be at home on the shelves of aspiring hedge fund managers hoping to kill their elders as on the credenzas of those beleaguered executives who hear the next generation coming up fast from behind. No business library should be considered complete without it.
Crazy Bossesby Stanley Bing
Since the latter part of the century just past, Stanley Bing has been exploring the relationship between authority and madness. In one bestselling book after another, reporting from his hot-seat as an insider in a world-renowned multinational corporation, he has tried to understand the inner workings of those who lead us and to inquire why they seem to be powered, much of the time, by demons that make them obnoxious and dangerous, even to themselves. In What Would Machiavelli Do?, Bing looked at the issue of why mean people do better than nice people, and found that in their particular form of insanity lay incredible power. In Throwing the Elephant: Zen and the Art of Managing Up, he offered a spiritual path toward managing the unruly executive beast. And in Sun Tzu Was a Sissy, he taught us how to become one of them, and wage war on the playing field that ends in a dream home in Cabo. Now he returns to his roots to offer the last word on the entity that shapes our lives and stomps through--and on--our dreams: The Crazy Boss. Students of Bing--and there are many, secreted inside tortured organizations, yearning for blunt instruments with which to fight--will note that he has walked this ground before, looking for answers. In 1992, he published the first edition of Crazy Bosses, which was fine, as far as it went. Now, some 15 years and several dozen insane bosses later, he has updated and rethought much of the work. Back in the last century, Bing was a small, trembling creature, looking up at those who made his life miserable and analyzing the mental illness that gave them their power. Today, while still trembling much of the time, he is in fact one of those people his prior work has warned us against. His own hard-won wisdom and now institutionalized dementia make this new edition completely fresh and indispensable to anyone who works for somebody else or lives with somebody else, or would like to. In short, Bing is back on his home turf in this funny, true, and essential book, peering with his keen and frosty eye at the crazy boss in all his guises: the Bully, the Paranoid, the Narcissist, the Wimp, and the self-destructive Disaster Hunter. If you loved the original, classic Crazy Bosses, you'll be thrilled to plunge back into the new, refurbished pool. If you are new to the book, strap yourself in: it's going to be a crazy ride.
The Curriculumby Stanley Bing
The Only Business School You'll Ever NeedFrom the mind of bestselling author Stanley Bing, the ultimate corporate mentor, comes The Curriculum: Everything You Need to Know to Be a Master of Business Arts, a no-nonsense, real-world strategy for success. Sharp, practical, and amusing when it needs to be, and lavishly enhanced with charts, graphs, and other illuminating illustrations, The Curriculum is certain to occupy a place of pride on any shelf dedicated to books that explain how business works, and how that knowledge can be used to achieve power, happiness, and indefensible amounts of money. Included are key chapters on not appearing stupid (mandatory for entry-level students); fabricating a sustainable business personality; management, group dynamics, and the art of selling; self-branding and self-marketing; mastering electronic communications; and dealing with bosses and other crazy people.After contributing thousands of columns to Fortune, Esquire, and the Wall Street Journal, and writing nearly a dozen books on corporate strategy, Stanley Bing is at the top of his game, dispensing a lifetime's worth of hard-won wisdom to the next generation of masters. Enroll in The Curriculum, and his secrets will be yours--along with an attractive diploma, suitable for framing.

Updated with a brilliant new introduction by the king of business satire, Stanley Bing, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is essential reading for the ambitious and the lazy alike.
Sun Tzu Was a Sissy: Conquer Your Enemies, Promote Your Friends, and Wage the Real Art of Warby Stanley Bing
A modern version of the book The Art of War. Bing's setting is not a Chinese battlefield, but today's urban life, and In Bing's world, only loved ones are entitled to the smallest sliver of loyalty--everyone else is the enemy.
Sun Tzu Was a Sissy: Conquer Your Enemies, Promote Your Friends, and Wage the Real Art of Warby Stanley Bing
We live in a vicious, highly competitive workplace environment, and things aren't getting any better. Jobs are few and far between, and people aren't any nicer now than they were when Ghengis Khan ran around in big furs killing people in unfriendly acquisitions. For thousands of years, people have been reading the writings of the deeply wise, but also extremely dead Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, who was perhaps the first to look on the waging of war as a strategic art that could be taught to people who wished to be warlords and other kinds of senior managers. In a nutshell, Sun Tzu taught that readiness is all, that knowledge of oneself and the enemy was the foundation of strength and that those who fight best are those who are prepared and wise enough not to fight at all. Unfortunately, in the current day, this approach is pretty much horse hockey, a fact that has not been recognized by the bloated, tree-hugging Sun Tzu industry, which churns out mushy-gushy pseudo-philosophy for business school types who want to make war and keep their hands clean. Sun Tzu was a Sissy will transcend all those efforts and teach the reader how to make war, win and enjoy the plunder in the real world, where those who do not kick, gouge and grab are left behind at the table to pay the tab. Students of Bing will be taught how to plan and execute battles that hurt other people a lot, and advance their flags and those of their friends, if possible. All military strategies will be explored, from mustering, equipping, organizing, plotting, scheming, rampaging, squashing and reaping spoils. Every other book on the Art of War bows low to Sun Tzu. We're going to tell him to get lost and inform our readers how real war is currently conducted on the battlefield of life.
Throwing the Elephantby Stanley Bing
Sit down. Breathe deep. This is the last business book you will ever need. For in these pages, Stanley Bing solves the ultimate problem of your working life: How to manage the boss. The technique is simple . . . as simple as throwing an elephant. All it takes is the proper state of mind, a step-by-step plan, and a great leap of faith. This humble guide provides all these and more. It is Zen that enables one to take an object of enormous weight and size and mold it in one's grasp like a ball of Silly Putty. For senior management, in truth, is the silliest putty of them all.This comprehensive course walks budding business bodhisattvas through basic skills needed to provide the simple elephant handling that makes everyday life possible, including but not limited to the primary task of following along after the elephant with a little broom and dustpan. Serious students will then move to intermediate steps, from Polishing the Elephant's Tusks to Hiding from the Elephant When It Has Been Drinking and Feels Quite Nasty. Beyond this level lies the land of the practiced Zen masters, culminating in the ability to leverage and then throw the now-weightless elephant--and even play catch with it at corporate retreats.If What Would Machiavelli Would Do? was the meanest business book since the Renaissance, Throwing the Elephant provides the yang to that yin. Because sometimes you've got to be selfless, compassionate, and completely empty to get the job done.Stanley Bing is a columnist for Fortune magazine and the author of What Would Machiavelli Do? and Lloyd: What Happened, a novel. By day, he works for a gigantic multinational conglomerate whose identity is one of the worst-kept secrets in business.
What Would Machiavelli Do?by Stanley Bing
What Would Machiavelli Do?He would feast on other people's discord He wouldn't exactly seek the company of ass-kissers and bimbos, but he wouldn't reject them out of hand, eitherHe would realize that loving yourself means never having to say you're sorryHe would kill people, but only if he could feel good about himself afterwardHe would establish and maintain a psychotic level of controlHe would use other people's opinions to sell his book!

Guest Article #60: Clean Air and Climate Change Mitigation [viewed]
The UN Environment Programme estimates that annually, one million people die prematurely around the World by being exposed to high levels of urban air pollution; this number represents about 114 premature deaths worldwide per hour. In Latin America, conservative estimates indicate that 35,000 people die prematurely annually from this exposure. All these deaths can and should be avoided.

In 1906 when the Creek Indian Chitto Harjo was protesting the United States government's liquidation of his tribe's lands, he began his argument with an account of Indian history from the time of Columbus, "for, of course, a thing has to have a root before it can grow." Yet even today most intelligent non-Indian Americans have little knowledge of Indian history and affairs those lessons have not taken root.
This book is an in-depth historical survey of the Indians of the United States, including the Eskimos and Aleuts of Alaska, which isolates and analyzes the problems which have beset these people since their first contacts with Europeans. Only in the light of this knowledge, the author points out, can an intelligent Indian policy be formulated.
In the book are described the first meetings of Indians with explorers, the dispossession of the Indians by colonial expansion, their involvement in imperial rivalries, their beginning relations with the new American republic, and the ensuing century of war and encroachment.
The most recent aspects of government Indian policy are also detailed the good and bad administrative practices and measures to which the Indians have been subjected and their present situation.
Miss Debo's style is objective, and throughout the book the distinct social environment of the Indians is emphasized—an environment that is foreign to the experience of most white men. Through ignorance of that culture and life style the results of non-Indian policy toward Indians have been centuries of blundering and tragedy.
In response to Indian history, an enlightened policy must be formulated: protection of Indian land, vocational and educational training, voluntary relocation, encouragement of tribal organization, recognition of Indians' social groupings, and reliance on Indians' abilities to direct their own lives.
The result of this new policy would be a chance for Indians to live now, whether on their own land or as adjusted members of white society. Indian history is usually highly specialized and is never recorded in books of general history. This book unifies the many specialized volumes which have been written about their history and culture. It has been written not only for persons who work with Indians or for students of Indian culture, but for all Americans of good will.

Memories of Belfast, Floral Hall, Hazelwood 1936
A Day With My Granny Baird
back in the years 1947 /1950 ,my grand mother and I would spend a day at Hazelwood ,if I recall correctly by the steps they had a little carnival ,then we would make our way to the Floral hall ,which in those days had a silver tea room ,whiter than white table cloths ,the waitress,s dressed in black with white pinny,aprons and white tiara,s ,3 tiered cake stands stood on the tables and tea was poured was poured from a silver tea pot ,I was in awe goggled eyed ! and I always recall my granny whispering in my ear that she had no money and we would have to wash the dish,s ,!! x
Memories of Belfast
Saturday Mornings.
My cousin and I lived at the top of the Oldpark Road, near Ballysillan, in the mid-1950's and every Saturday morning during our tenth and eleventh years, we would catch the bus into town, walk around the City Hall and down to swim at the Ormeau Baths. After we had our permitted 30 minutes, we would walk back to a cafe ...Read full memory
Growing Up
i lived at the top of sandy row in the 1950s and used to go up to the institute to roller skate from there as the building was on a slight incline. This was a beautiful old building I can't remember when it was demolished and replaced by the queens one but today it probably would be a listed building.

Elmwood Church
My late husband Jim played the pipe organ in this church. Our eldest son, Mark, aged about 5 at the time, used to go with him and insisted on sitting on the console with him. Although we lived in the area during the troubles, we were sufficiently removed from it to be able to feel fairly secure.

Cost-Effective Services for the Office
In order to add more functionality to the Intranet, I implemented the search utility HT://DIG on IPkeeper. It has proven to be one of the most useful features I have added. It allows our users to type in any keyword and instantly see a list of corresponding documents. I am also currently evaluating the Cyberscheduler application for calendar and scheduling services.
An LDAP (Lightweight Distributed Access Protocol) server is being implemented for internal use on Gatekeeper so that users who are using Netscape Communicator can get to a company e-mail directory and utilize company mailing lists more easily.
Samba has also been enabled on both Linux machines, and I am setting up home directories in order to lessen dependency on the aging Novell server.
The company has been investigating computer archive solutions for old report data and converting report files from the business accounting and manufacturing package to HTML so that the files can be indexed and viewed with a browser. The plan is to set up a system which will automatically process the report files, eliminating the need to print monthly or weekly reports as they will be easily accessible through the browser. Seth Golub's (email@example.com) txt2html program is being used to convert the text report to an HTML file. The most likely solution for indexing will be to index only the report headers, which contain the necessary information for locating a particular report.
For a mid-sized business such as ours, Linux was an obvious choice. The company would have been years away from implementing all the services we added if Linux had not been available. No other operating system can allow as much scalability and flexibility for its price.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

My stay at the McCall House was wonderful. The staff was friendly. Food was fabulous. And, the location was extremely convenient. I highly recommend this B&B.

We enjoyed our experience at McCall House B&B very much. We are locals but wanted to get away for a night for our anniversary and it was the perfect spot. The room was lovely, bright and very comfortable. We were able to walk to downtown quickly and enjoyed some time on the adorable patio in the evening. Breakfast was delicious and the host was friendly and knowledgable about the history of the home. We will definitely plan to stay again sometime and will recommend to friends and out of town guests.

Such a beautiful home and extremely comfortable and clean. Gorgeous with a charming atmosphere. While it was relaxing and conveniently located, it was only our fourth experience with a Bed and Breakfast and it was much more expensive than lodging we typically reserve, so I am speaking from inexperience with luxury bed and breakfast locations. The breakfast was very tasty but not abundant and no offers of refills or seconds so it did not satisfy my 13 year old. Coffee, tea and water are self serve and abundant however, it was hard to get up and get any because when people are seated, there was no room to move your chair backward without hitting the person behind you, let along walk around the dining room to where coffee was.

Beautiful spot well maintained ... Great example of what a B & B should be.

Only stayed one night and it was a short stay at that. Wish we could have relaxed there longer and enjoyed the entire property. Clean, comfy and great food. The chef prepared pancakes for my children without any hesitation when she found out they didn't like spinach, which was the main filling in the pastry that morning.

Daniel, the innkeeper, went out of his way to explain the history of the inn and town. He made me feel conformable from the minute i arrived and answered all of my questions. The entire staff was pleasant and helpful, getting with smiles and warmth. We were sad to leave and can't wait to return.

Social Olympics
GE is utilizing the Mass Relevance platform to pioneer new ways of getting the most out of brand sponsorship opportunities at the 2012 Olympic Games. This includes a first ever lighting installation in one of the stadiums during the games to immerse spectators in the real-time social pulse of the Olympics (imagine the old-fashioned wave replaced by a stadium-wide EKG), as well as a new spin on social strategy. GE is unleashing 3 main social tactics with Mass Relevance at the games.
The "Constellation": GE is showcasing its lighting technology inside one of the stadiums with the "Constellation" - an interactive lighting installation that visualizes the social pulse of the Games. The brightness of the lights change concurrently with Twitter activity. By utilizing the power of the Mass Relevance platform to aggregate and analyze social data, GE is implementing an innovative experience to represent the social buzz surrounding the Olympics.
HealthyShare Campaign tie-in: GE will use a variety of Twitter promoted products to draw an audience to a Twitter-centric HealthyShare microsite curated and designed by Mass Relevance. From the Healthyshare community site, fans can Tweet and pledge to participate in the HealthyShare movement. Participants then pour into the HealthyShare Facebook app that lets you sample the training routines of Olympic hopefuls. The goal for London 2012: expressions not impressions for the brand!
NBC Olympics Twitter Tracker Sponsorship: Complementing these initiatives, GE is also sponsoring the Twitter Tracker (built, hosted and powered by Mass Relevance) as part of its strategy to invest in building meaningful brand experiences, content marketing, and creating conversations with consumers that are focused on topics important to people rather than GE products. The NBC Twitter Tracker features a count of overall Olympic Tweets and Tweets per minute. It also shows the top trending sports and allows fans to experience Twitter streams by sport. In addition, the Twitter Tracker features trending topics, polls, and madlibs.

NEWS RELEASESAir Products Dedicates New Florida LNG Heat Exchanger Manufacturing Facility
(January 9, 2014)
Land Purchase Completed for Air Products' Port Manatee Manufacturing Facility
(November 14, 2012)
Air Products Expands LNG Heat Exchanger Manufacturing in Florida
(July 26, 2012)
In order to stay ahead of increasing demand for Air Products' world leading liquefied natural gas (LNG) technology and equipment, the company has completed construction of a second manufacturing facility at a new location in Manatee County, Florida. The 300,000-square foot LNG heat exchanger manufacturing facility will have ready access to port services, which will facilitate global shipping of this very large equipment and allow Air Products to manufacture even larger LNG heat exchangers that are being demanded by the market.
A majority of total worldwide LNG is produced with Air Products' technology. The company has been manufacturing LNG heat exchangers at its Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania facility for over 45 years. Air Products has designed, manufactured, and exported 100 coil wound heat exchangers for LNG projects around the globe. This equipment can be as large as 16.5 feet (5.0 meters) in diameter, 180 feet (55 meters) long, and weigh as much as 500 tons (455 metric tons).
Air Products' proprietary process technology and equipment is the heart of an LNG production plant and vital to helping meet the world's increasing energy needs and desire for clean energy. In place at some of the most remote locations around the world, this technology takes natural gas that is essentially a stranded valuable resource and unlocks it by liquefying it and making it possible to economically ship it around the world. The LNG is later re-gasified for energy use.Photos

More federal employees are teleworking than ever before, according to the annual telework report the Office of Personnel Management submitted to Congress on Dec. 18.
Approximately 300,000 federal employees teleworked in fiscal 2012, a 24 percent increase from 2011. That jump is attributable in large part to more employees signing telework agreements with their agencies. By the end of fiscal 2012, the report states, 267,227 federal employees had signed agreements detailing their telework arrangements with their agencies.
"The federal government has come a long way since we started in 2005," said Cindy Auten, general manager of the Mobile Work Exchange. "OPM's latest data proves strong interest, momentum and value in these programs. The numbers are in line with what we are seeing with Mobile Work Exchange programs. Last year's Telework Week, for example, saw a large leap in interest and participation."
Telework Week 2014 aims higher
Federal agencies still lagging on telework programs
OPM's 257-page report was released later than originally intended in part because of the partial government shutdown in October. In the report, OPM points to the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010 as a continuing driver of agencies' telework initiatives. The law requires agencies to create policies to maximize telework use, and OPM's report suggests that the majority of agencies are complying.
Yet Auten said the transition from working at the office to working remotely on a routine basis will not happen overnight. The 300,000 feds who teleworked in fiscal 2012 represent only 30 percent of the 1 million employees who are eligible to do so. Studies have shown that the government might be missing out on as much as $6 billion in savings annually by not promoting telework more aggressively.
"This isn't a flip of the switch," Auten said.
Barriers such as management resistance continue to hinder telework efforts, and agencies that do not have strong telework programs also commonly cite IT budget and security issues as major barriers.
OPM's study also revealed:

A Nova Scotia billboard that advertises a women's wall of honor is baffling motorists by picturing a trio of men.
"We certainly weren't looking to offend anybody," said Kelly Gallant of Mount Saint Vincent University. "We hope that it'll get people thinking about who they want to honor in their lives."
Gallant said the idea is to encourage men to make donations for the wall, which will be placed in a new building at the school.
"The focus really is women," Gallant said. "We're just choosing to share the message perhaps in a slightly different way."
Some motorists said they were perplexed by the billboard.
"Your first reaction is 'something's weird here,'" said Derrek Ord, who spotted the ad while driving. "This was just uncomfortable."
