Higher Ed Board committee recommends 2009-10 budget allocations for campuses
Di Saunders – Cell: 971-219-6869 (today and over weekend); Office: 503-725-5714
Full Board to review budget for final approval at October 2 meeting
PORTLAND, Sept. 4, 2009 – The Finance and Administration Committee of the State Board of Higher Education (the "Committee") met today via statewide video conference to review both the biennial budget for 2009-2011 and the annual 2009-10 allocation for the OUS institutions, among other items discussed by the Committee.
Budget Allocation
Jay Kenton, OUS vice chancellor for Finance and Administration, presented the proposed approach for the allocation of the 2009-10 OUS Annual Operating budget. He noted that the allocations have been made in accordance with Legislative directives, Board policies and priorities, and additional guiding principles such as: maintaining student access and success; creating incentives to improve retention and graduation rates; working to more evenly distribute enrollment across the System; using the Resource Allocation Model (RAM) to equitably distribute state General Fund support across the campuses and ensure financial integrity of each institution; acknowledging each campus' unique financial situation; maintaining a reserve to be used to offset any additional budget cuts in the 2009-2011 biennium; and for incentives and enrollment settle-up. Kenton said that funding allocations also have a relationship to each campus' enrollment. He noted that OUS projects overall FTE (full time equivalent) enrollment to increase 2.7% in 2009-10 over 2008-09, for a total FTE of 77,982.
Overall, the OUS 2009-2011 operating budget is 17.3% lower than it was in 2007-2009, excluding federal stimulus funding; if including federal stimulus funding, the operating budget is 8.9% lower than in the previous biennia (2007-2009 budget represents funding prior to legislatively-approved reductions). The 2009-10 allocation is about 50% of the biennial budget in most cases. Biennial campus operating budgets for 2009-2011 are as follows (includes federal stimulus funding of $30 million): Eastern Oregon University = $32.2 million (down 7.5% from '07-09); Oregon Institute of Technology = $38.4 million (down 10.6% from '07-09); Oregon State University = $186.7 million (down 11.1% from '07-09); OSU-Cascades Campus = $9.3 million (up 2.4% from '07-09); Portland State University = $136.9 million (down 11.3% from '07-09); Southern Oregon University = $33.6 million (down 10.7% from '07-09); University of Oregon = $128.9 million (down 16.3% from '07-09); Western Oregon University = $36.1 million (down 10.6% from '07-09); and the Office of the Chancellor = $13.2 million (down 19.2% from '07-09); and OUS industry affairs programs = $5.4 million (down 27.5% from '07-09). The OSU Statewide Public Service program allocations are: Agricultural Experiment Station = $57.9 million (down 7.2% from '07-09); Extension Service = $42.3 million (down 6.3% from '07-09); and the Forest Research Laboratory = $6.3 million (down 9.6% from '07-09). (For more details on budget allocations by category go to: /sites/default/files/state_board/meeting/dockets/ddoc090904FA.pdf)
After some discussion, the Finance and Administration Committee of the Board of Higher Education voted to recommend the proposed 2009-2011 guiding principles and the proposed 2009-10 budget to the full Board for approval at the October 2, 2009 Board meeting in Klamath Falls.
In other action and discussion at the meeting, the Finance and Administration Committee of the Board:
- Accepted the Quarterly Management Report for June 30, 2009.
- Accepted the 2009 Annual Report on Investments.
- Approved the Internal Audit Division charter.

For as long as Broncos veterans Champ Bailey, Keith Brooking, Peyton Manning and Brandon Stokley have been doing it, Buccaneers safety Ronde Barber has been doing it longer.
In his 16th season, Barber has a longer NFL tenure than anyone on the Broncos roster and is still producing.
This year, however, the longtime cornerback has moved to safety.
"It doesn't matter where he's playing, whether he's playing corner, whether he's playing nickel, whether he's playing back there for safety — he's a good football player," Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy said. "You love to watch him play. You have to be careful playing against him because he's going to do some things that other players can't do. He's been around a lot and he's a great football player."
This season, Barber has already snared four interceptions — his most since 2008 — 12 passes defensed, a sack, a forced fumble and a defensive touchdown, making him a player the Broncos offense will need to keep tabs on throughout Sunday's contest.
Head Coach John Fox saw that type of production from Barber twice a year when he coached the division-rival Carolina Panthers.
"He's a ball hawk," Fox said. "He's been that way his whole career."
The 37-year-old has 14 years on his safety counterpart, rookie Mark Barron, who has an interception and a forced fumble himself.
Barber's leadership and influence on the young players around him has impressed Buccaneers Head Coach Greg Schiano.
"I kind of like his command back there and all those things and he and Mark working together," Schiano said on Wednesday.
Bailey said he continues to admire Barber, and keeps tabs on how he's playing.
As far as McCoy is concerned, Barber is playing as well now as ever.
"He plays the game the way you want it," McCoy said.

Discovery Communications CEO: OWN Has Turned Cash-Flow-Positive
UPDATED: The cable networks company, led by CEO David Zaslav, posted second-quarter earnings that rose but missed Wall Street estimates, leading it to lower its full-year target range.
Previously, Discovery had said a cash-flow-break-even or maybe a profit would come during the back half of the year. "I am proud to report that, when combined with the long-term affiliate fees that the channel has previously secured [and advertising revenue], OWN is now cash-flow-positive and starting to pay down the investment Discovery has made in the venture," Zaslav said. "I want to congratulate Oprah and the entire team at OWN for this significant milestone -- and we remain very bullish on its long-term trajectory and our ability to drive continued asset appreciation in the future." STORY: Discovery Channel Sets Series About Family-Owned Oil Company Management said the balance of the company's investment in OWN, in the form of loans for which Discovery will be reimbursed, stands at $509 million. The network's cash flow will only rise from here, Zaslav predicted, with CFO Andrew Warren predicting there will be "some big second-half numbers" this year. Meanwhile, Zaslav touted the higher carriage fees operators have paid for OWN -- compared with its predecessor, Discovery Health -- and "significant" ad growth during this year's upfront, which saw the channel record a double-digit-percentage rise and add 30 marketers. Plus, ratings in OWN's core demographic of women ages 25-54 rose 39 percent during the second quarter.
Zaslav also gave a shout-out to Tyler Perry and lauded the multihyphenate's OWN shows The Haves and the Have Nots and Love Thy Neighbor as "bona fide hits." A third Perry show is set for a fall launch. OWN is now a top-20 channel among overall female viewers and a top-three channel among African-American women, including days when it takes the top rank, Zaslav said.

Asked about the planned merger of ad-agency giants Omnicom and Publicis, Zaslav predicted it would have no effect on his company as long as it maintains popular programs and strong ratings.
And asked about possible pay TV consolidation, he said the company will "be able to continue to do well and get significant increases" in carriage fees. Plus, Discovery "can sell our content to anyone we want," including new digital players.
Meanwhile, Discovery reiterated that it has renewed a third-year option under a content licensing deal with Netflix, as pre-announced during last quarter's call, with management predicting a similar revenue effect in 2013 as in 2012.
Technical difficulties cut off management comments early during Tuesday's call, forcing a restart.
The company reported quarterly earnings of $300 million, compared with $293 million during the year-ago period. Earnings per share came in at 82 cents, up from 76 cents. Adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization, another profitability metric, rose 23 percent to $668 million.
Revenue rose 30 percent from $1.13 billion to $1.47 billion. The results were the first set of financials to include contributions from Scandinavian broadcaster SBS Nordic, which Discovery acquired earlier this year.
Wall Street analysts had, on average, expected earnings of $328 million and earnings per share of 90 cents on revenue of $1.48 billion.
Discovery said its earnings figure came amid "strong operating performance in the current year, partially offset by higher interest and taxes, as well as increased amortization associated with purchase-price allocation for the SBS transaction."
The company has seen ratings gains at such key networks as Discovery, Animal Planet and OWN. "Discovery's strong operating and financial momentum continued during the second quarter as we further capitalized on the organic growth opportunities across our portfolio while beginning to take advantage of the benefits that our recent strategic acquisitions provide," Zaslav said. "Our sustained commitment to producing captivating content and the further expansion of global pay TV markets combined to once again drive audience and revenue growth across our unique distribution platform."
U.S. ad revenue rose 10 percent and distribution revenue rose 17 percent during the second quarter, including money from Netflix. That left overall U.S. revenue up 13 percent at $793 million. International revenue soared 61 percent to $652 million, or 14 percent excluding the recent acquisitions of SBS and a stake in French TV company TF1.
The cable networks company also slightly lowered its full-year target ranges for earnings and revenue.
For the full year, Discovery said it now expects revenue of $5.55 billion-$5.625 billion, down from a previous expectation of $5.575 billion-$5.7 billion, and earnings of $1.1 billion-$1.15 billion, down from $1.2 billion-$1.3 billion. "Our updated outlook incorporates the impact of purchase-price allocation associated with the SBS transaction, current foreign exchange rates for revenue and expenses and the current share price for market-to-market equity-based compensation calculations," the company said.
Discussing the U.S. ad market, Zaslav said scatter-market pricing remains "well above last year's upfront." He said this year's upfront brought Discovery mid- to high-single-digit price increases and its highest dollar volume to date, and he predicted "sustained" ad revenue growth.
Beyond OWN and Discovery, Zaslav lauded Animal Planet for 11 percent ratings growth during the second quarter, its "best quarter in history." That distinction also went to Hasbro joint-venture channel The Hub, which grew ratings 32 percent in the kids 2-11 demo.

Stubbs the cat, Talkeetna's honorary mayor, has received a care package from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The group is calling for Stubbs to be kept either indoors or on a leash when he goes outside lest the town suffer an "untimely mayoral coup," although Stubbs' owner Lauri Stec says he's been walking around in town for 16 years. (Courtesy Big Lake-Susitna Veterinary Hospital / September 9, 2013) |
A dog attack on Stubbs the cat, Talkeetna's honorary mayor, is drawing real political interest, with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sending his owner a care package -- and instructions for his care.
According to a Monday press release, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says it has sent Stubbs' owner, Lauri Stec, items including cat treats and toys, a blanket, and a book of feline care tips by PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. Stubbs has been on the mend ever since he was mauled by a local dog Aug. 31, suffering injuries including a punctured lung and a fractured sternum.
In an email to Stubbs' owner, Lauri Stec, PETA special projects manager Alicia Woempner suggests that Stubbs be kept under closer monitoring to avoid future injuries. She cites a variety of outdoor hazards felines face, ranging from dogs to diseases and possible malicious attacks by humans.
"I'd also like to urge you, with all due respect, to prevent an untimely mayoral coup by ensuring that Mayor Stubbs remains safe indoors or is always wearing a harness and accompanied by at least one member of his entourage when he leaves his 'office,'" Woempner wrote.
Reached for comment Monday afternoon, Stec says she has received the care package for Stubbs as well as the email. She hasn't written Woempner back, but briefly spoke with her by phone.
"I don't know what to say, except that he's been walking up and down the street for 16 years," Stec said. "People always want to get involved and they don't really know what's going on."
With Stubbs' story widely circulating in state and national media, Stec says she's seeing a variety of emailed responses, some of them branding her an irresponsible pet owner and calling for her to cover Stubbs' veterinary bills herself despite the creation of donation funds.
"I'm even getting hate mail," Stec said.
Earlier this year, PETA gave the Anchorage Fire Department its Compassionate Fire Department Award, along with several rebreathers for animals, after fire crews saved 10 pets from a Jan. 10 Government Hill apartment fire.
In a more controversial move, the group also blasted Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race musher Paige Drobny for her alleged role in the March 15 death of 5-year-old dog Dorado, which she dropped from her team at the Unalakleet checkpoint. After Drobny considered suing PETA, it later apologized to her in a statement, which she dismissed as "an obvious attempt to bury this release in a larger piece of PETA propaganda."
Back in Talkeetna, Stec says she's preparing Monday to pick Stubbs up from the Big Lake-Susitna Veterinary Clinic, with orders to keep him resting in a box for two months of gradual recuperation. She eventually plans to take Stubbs to work with her at Nagley's General Store, where he can once again hold court with locals and tourists alike.
"I'm pretty excited about that," Stec said. "Let's just get his furry butt home."

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Russ Feingold
United States Senator Hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law "Casualties of War: Child Soldiers and the Law" Tuesday, April 24, 2007 at 10:00 a.m Senator Russ Feingold Thank you Mr. Chairman. First, I want to thank you for holding this important hearing, and for introducing - along with our colleague, Senator Brownback - the Child Soldiers Prevention Act. This legislation is a critical step toward ending the use of child soldiers around the globe by prohibiting U.S. military assistance to countries recruiting or using child soldiers in hostilities. I would also like to thank all of the witnesses here today, who have experienced or witnessed what child soldiers are forced to endure and who each devote tremendous time and energy to fighting injustice. Thank you for coming to teach us about this tragic practice- one that has gone on for far too long in too many places. The Child Soldiers Prevention Act takes a multifaceted approach to dealing with the problem and encourages more robust programming for the demobilization, disarmament, and rehabilitation of child soldiers, and the communities from which they come. I am pleased to cosponsor this bill because I feel very strongly that the United States must do more to end the exploitation of children, whatever form this abuse takes and wherever it occurs. The exploitation of children violates the basic human rights of one of society's most vulnerable populations, and yet, for far too long, children have been not only the passive victims of military campaigns but also active, if unwilling, participants. In Burma, Laos, Sri Lanka, Colombia, and particularly in African countries like Uganda, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, children as young as eight are routinely abducted and forced to participate in acts of extreme violence, sometimes against their own families. They are forced to carry out murders, mutilations and other human rights abuses, even as abuses are inflicted upon them. Many child soldiers are also subject to coerced drug addiction, physiological manipulation, and sexual abuse. At least one-third of the estimated 300,000 child soldiers today are girls, who are often enslaved for sexual purposes by militia commanders. Even when hostilities cease, these children continue to suffer the loss of their childhood, connection to their families and communities, and the tools to successfully pursue a non-violent life. Often uneducated, traumatized, and stigmatized, many of these young people remain trapped in cycles of brutality and abuse long after militias are disbanded. In the past two decades, the use of child soldiers has gone from being merely morally reprehensible to being a criminal violation of international law. The U.S. has demonstrated its commitment to ending the use of child soldiers around the world by ratifying and implementing the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Involvement of Children and Armed Conflict, and last winter, Congo's National Assembly transferred a former militia leader to the International Criminal Court to face charges of recruitment of child soldiers. Next month, the Special Court of Sierra Leone is expected to deliver the first two convictions on charges of enlisting children to actively participate in hostilities, which the Court considers a "serious violation of international humanitarian law." These are all important steps - across multiple levels - towards ending impunity for this reprehensible practice. The conscription and abuse of child soldiers is not new, but a growing awareness of what these young people are forced to endure and the lasting damage caused requires that we work diligently here at home, as well as with the international community, to monitor and end the use of child soldiers, hold governments accountable for their violations, and improve programs of prevention and rehabilitation. The use of child soldiers poses a threat to the stability and security of communities, countries, and society at large. Ending these abuses should be a priority for the United States and for governments around the world. Thank you again, Mr. Chairman, for holding this important hearing to raise awareness and encourage action to protect children around the world. |

Recipe by B.Jennings
"My grandmother made this many years ago. My children love it. The cooked pumpkin around the 'shepherd's pie' is sweet and delicious! What a surprise when the lid of the pumpkin is lifted!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 small pumpkin
6 potatoes - peeled and cubed
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn
It has to be a fairly big pumpkin in order to fit everything inside. Mine was too small and I had to cook the remaining in another dish. It smelled good and is a cute idea, but just wasn't a great dish.
Pumkin size needs to be better defined. Too much corn, ingredients were not hot all the way through in the baking time given and the pumpkin was not done. It was very pretty and smelled good.
3 Ratings
A good start but I did change it a bit and will change it a little more the next time I make it. One thing I did was to use 1 lb of groud meat instead of 2 and I cooked it with 1/2 an onion chopped and 2 cloves of garlic chopped. Next I added parsley to the potatoes. When I put everything in I drained the whole kernel corn and then mixed everything but the potatoes together. I also added 4 oz of crumbled Feta cheese to the mixture. Next time I will probably use more Feta. I may also use fresh corn and cook it before adding it to the mix. I will also probably add more seasonings. It could also use a little bit longer in the oven. It's a good start but it needed some adjusting.

I'd lost track of what was going on with McAfee, other than teaching yoga. Things certainly have changed for him, and not for the better.

Avatar Gaming I3-32GTPros: Lighting on the fans is cool with the switch to color change. Cons: Well I ordered two of these. One for me and one for my wife. Mine started fine with no problems and has been running great, BUT my wifes started up and went right to BOIS error and would not start and kept restarting over and over again. I put in the windows 8 disk and ran it for errors and after the third time it started windows and I needed a name and password to get into it. So that all did me no good. So I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows again. First attempt failed. Second attempt went threw and it seems to be work great for her now. Other Thoughts: Other then having the problems with the wife's computer at the start they seem to be running great, smooth and quiet. I would buy it again if I had to. Did you find this review helpful? |
Poor PSU, Arrived DeadPros: None Cons: Arrived dead. The PSU is cheap and a korean make. Probably doesn't reach 430w like it says. Beware, this item is non-refundable. You can only get it replaced. Don't buy. Did you find this review helpful? |
Nice DealPros: Like one other reviewer, I was very nervous about ordering from what seemed like a random, small company with no other reviews (at the time of ordering). However, I am very glad I made the leap of faith on this one; everything came as described and fully functional. The "guts" were professionally installed and organized, so it was easy for me to customize it to my pleasing. Windows 8 loaded perfectly for me and couldn't have been easier to setup. The processor is pretty decent and runs all my games well coupled with my NVIDIA GTX 670 (we're talking ArmA 2, Battlefield 3, Planetside 2, Skyrim... All the latest games and all on maxed out settings). The lights on the fans are a nice touch as well, looks pretty cool at dusk. Cons: No Wifi or Bluetooth, though you can easily add them on. The GPU it comes with isn't too good for high performance games. In fact, I immediately swapped it out for the GTX 670. The power supply was a problem however, since I could only find one cable to plug into on of the card's two required slots. Currently I am stuck using another computer as a power supply, so I strongly recommend ordering another supply with this product, at least a 500 watt. Other Thoughts: I was very surprised with the quality of the product I was receiving. Though some parts are outdated, this is great for the beginner PC gamer on a budget.

I like so farPros: I've only had this for a day, and was nervous about buying a weird brand that didn't have any reviews. Cons: I don't know what brand "Avatar" is, but the brand name on the case is Gigabyte, the drivers are all Gigabyte, and if you look on the picture it says Gigabyte on the bottom. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Joshua Ragsdale, a promising songwriter whose battle with leukemia inspired hundreds of people to be tested as potential bone marrow donors, died Thursday morning in an area hospital.
A staff writer at Sony/ATV, Mr. Ragsdale was 32. In 2010, his âAinât Much Left Of Lovinâ Youâ became Randy Montanaâs debut single, and Country Music Hall of Famer Bill Anderson released âPapawâs Sunday Boots,â a song Mr. Ragsdale co-wrote with Anderson.
While his career momentum accelerated, Mr. Ragsdale endured debilitating chemotherapy and a string of worst-case health scenarios. A marrow transplant scheduled for spring was canceled when the anonymous donor backed out. The man later agreed to the non-invasive, blood-draw procedure, but by then Mr. Ragsdale had contracted brain cancer that required further chemotherapy. The donor then backed out a final time.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ragsdale wrote songs, retained faith and kept a community of friends, fans and supporters apprised of his progress with often humorous postings on social networking sites.
âWaiting on the doctor... just hid all of his pens,â he wrote on April 28 on Twitter, four days after posting, âDear Lord... Iâve got the noggin cancer.â On May 13 he wrote âThe Price Is Right rocks away the pain,â and on May 30 he took time to thank the late Mel Blanc for giving voice to Bugs Bunny: âYou still make me laugh on Sat & Sun mornings,â he wrote.

Rythmik Audio FV15HP Subwoofer
FV15HP is our answer to the need for a high power home theatre solution that retains the dynamic and accurate bass that we have become known for. Correctly integrated, our vented subwoofers can achieve the tight bass normally associated with a sealed enclosure, yet with greater low frequency output. We recommend this subwoofer for systems in which home theatre has a high priority.
Rythmik Audio F12 Direct Servo Subwoofer
"The F12 is up and running. Boy oh boy this thing is sweet. I realize that conventional wisdom is that in a 4,000 cubic ft room (20x25x8) I needed a 15" and/or ported sub but I'm glad I stuck with the 12" sealed. I have it hooked up with both the LFE and line in from the preamp outs (and no, the earth's magnetic field did not reverse itself ). I ran Audssey with LPF on AVR/12, crossover at 50..." --mlundy57

Good product. Does not filter outside noise well though. Not bad for a car unit.
I"m not happy with the sound quality on these. I bought one new a few months ago and the sound quality is great. I received these in clear zip lock baggies, not the original box so I'm guessing they're refurbished maybe.
I have tried other BT speakers, this is by far the best one ever. I drive an 18 wheeler for a living and other co drivers, shipper/recievers, MOM ect. do not even know I'm driving. the Noise cancellation on this speaker is Awesome. For Sure the Best one I've owned by far.

Sierra Club
Explore, enjoy and protect the planet.
Eco-efficiency is an inherent part of risk and return for businesses regardless of enterprise size or economic sector of activity. In a warming, resource-constrained world, transition to an eco-efficient economy is the only viable path for global financial health. Investing in companies representing the Next EconomyTM is the clearest path to long-term capital appreciation.
We believe that the best way to generate investment returns in this new world revolves around environmental sustainability. Investing in the next, green economy helps mitigate climate change, promotes both energy security and national security and, importantly, helps rebuild the economy with high quality, long term jobs. Companies in Green Alpha portfolios are selected because they are in some way working toward these goals. Each is a leader in its field and each has above average prospects for growth in the rapidly expanding green economy. This is part of our overarching investment thesis and it applies to all our portfolios.
The Sierra Club Green Alpha Portfolio is unique among our portfolios in that it is a blend of Green Alpha Advisors' Next Economy universe and the Sierra Club's proprietary green investment guidelines, which they have used for decades to ensure they invest in only the least environmentally detrimental companies. The intersection of these two cutting-edge green stock selection processes produces the Sierra Club Green Alpha Portfolio, possibly the greenest stock portfolio on Earth.
Green Alpha Advisors' research process employs proprietary, research-intensive macro-economic criteria to identify publicly traded companies with business models optimized for eco-efficiency; and also business models that address one or more of the economic-environmental challenges facing civilization.
Methodologies used to appraise the long-term shareholder value potential of each company integrate bottom-up, fundamental analysis with explicit assessment of business model externalities and top-down macro-economic constraints. In effect, from the top down we ask 'what are the greatest environmental risks facing civilization, and what are the sectors, industries and companies best positioned to address these issues?' From the bottom up, we evaluate which of those companies are the healthiest, with the best management teams and the best possibilities for rapid growth. The output of this process produces a set of companies on the eco-efficient frontier. For the Sierra Club Green Alpha Portfolio, this universe is then screened to ensure compliance with the Sierra Club's strict environmental criteria, and then further reduced to reflect our best ideas on an ongoing basis, as an active long-equity strategy.
Sierra Club Green Alpha Portfolio is available for investment via the following managed account solutions:
Account Size
Mgmt Fee
$10,000 - $49,999

While so many New Year's resolution appear to focus on changes to be made in your personal life to improve health and wellbeing, we'd like to suggest one that can help you and your environment.
We urge everyone to look at ways to save energy day after day in your house, at your desk at work and in your car or truck.
It's no secret that fuel prices jump when global politics go haywire. Consequently, we need to be ahead of the game and be active in reducing consumption in our daily lives. Doing so will lessen the impact from the whims of whichever despot decides to squeeze the United States.
So, here are five quick tips everyone can put on their "to do" list to make this New Year's resolution at reality, thanks to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority's Web site:
1. Organize your furniture and rugs away from registers and heating return vents.
2. Using small appliances such as a microwave oven could use 80 percent less energy rather than a conventional oven.
3. Clean your refrigerator coils and repair any loose seals.
4. Use a power strip as a central "turn off" point for powering down multiple pieces of equipment.
5. Look for the ENERGY STAR label on new appliances. These units have advanced features that improve energy efficiency.

Ung: An important chef you've never heard of
Peek into your kitchen, and chances are you'll find some evidence of chef Einav Gefen's clout.
Lipton tea, perhaps, or Ragu pasta sauce. Skippy peanut butter or Shedd's Spread Country Crock, a pint of Ben and Jerry's or a tub of Breyer's.
Maybe one of the Knorr homestyle stocks, which Gefen helped launch last month and insists she uses at home. Or one of the new Reese's ice cream bars with filling that looks just like a Reese's peanut butter cup, thanks to Gefen's team. Have a bottle of Wish-Bone raspberry hazelnut vinaigrette? When the kitchen came up with that one, its initial production required Washington State's entire hazelnut crop for a year.
As the North American corporate chef for Englewood Cliffs-based Unilever, Gefen is the most influential local chef you've never heard of. She's gone from working dinner services at New York restaurants (including the landmark Daniel) to working for a company that did more than $60 billion in global sales last year, making decisions that affect millions of supermarket shoppers.
A big part of the Tenafly resident's job is scoping out trends in food and deciding how they might be packaged and marketed to home cooks. She uses her chef's hat to lend credibility to products that can serve as shortcuts to home meals.
Yes, she knows, many of us are skeptical of packaged products.
"I know the other side … 'Oh, Unilever, you're processed food, it's the dark side.' But why would a company like Unilever have 300 chefs as employees? We could have had just food scientists and product developers. … Dishes are first made by a human being in a real kitchen, and not robots in some remote plant.
"For me it's not 'I'm making everything from scratch' or 'eating horrible processed food, unhealthy food.' There is a big gray zone."
The key, she says, is balance: "If you're going to eat processed food all the time and not have salad and your vegetables and your fruits with it, well, I hope you have health insurance."
But Gefen says she's trying to solve a practical dilemma: helping people translate their interest in food to home-cooked meals, not just sitting on the couch watching the Food Network. "There is a gap
