Geriatric Resources from American Journal of Nursing
AJN published a series of articles and videos on evidence-based geriatric assessment tools and best practices in partnership with the New York University College of Nursing's Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing with partial support by a grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation. Called "How to Try This," the series translates materials from the Hartford Institute's "Try This series" into free, web-based resources for educators, students, and clinicians.
The International Council of Nurses (ICN) International Nurse Practitioner/Advanced Practice Nursing Network (INP/APNN) was established to provide an international resource for nurses practicing in the Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) roles as l as interested others such as policymakers, educators, regulators and/or health planners.

Looking Back at Clinical Nurse Specialists
Anniversaries are about reminiscence and renewal, and this year is the 25th anniversary of the journal, Clinical Nurse Specialist. By way of a look back at the history and development of the clinical nurse specialist (CNS) role, are posting and providing links to several historical articles from CNS and the American Journal of Nursing which were instrumental in shaping the CNS role as we know it today.
In Reiter's article, you will see the debate around a need for a clinical expert in nursing practice. Peplau's article argues for advanced clinical nurses to span the boundary between new scientific findings and emerging health concerns. Johnson, Wilcox and Moidel provide a great example of the vision of the CNS as clinical expert with expanded authority and responsibility. In Georgopoulos and Christman's work, you see the emergence of the scope of CNS practice, now called the "Spheres of Influence" practice framework.
Faculty, consider adding a discussion about CNS history to your class! NACNS members and affiliates, how about including a discussion about CNS history at your next local meeting? With health care reform upon us, a better understanding of history can often illuminate the path to the future.
Here are some reflective questions for considering our CNS history.
1. What influences lead to the recognized need for academically prepared clinical experts in nursing.
2. Clinical expertise in nursing practice is central to the emergence of the CNS role. How has the notion of "clinical expert" changed over the years?
3. Define specialization in nursing practice according to Peplau's 1965 publication. Is this definition applicable today? Explain why or why not.
4. How does specialization at the "generalist" level differ from specialization at the "advanced" level?
5. What role do CNSs have in assuring that the nursing profession meets its social mandate?

Arsenal Appoints Ex-Locog Head As Its New Retail Director
Tue 23rd Oct 2012 | Football Club Management
Arsenal Football Club has appointed Simon Lilley as its new Retail Director.
Lilley joins from his previous role as Head of Licensing and Retail at LOCOG, where he was responsible for running the highly successful licensing programme for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Prior to joining LOCOG, Lilley spent ten years with adidas, working across their sports apparel and footwear businesses, before joining UEFA as their Senior Manager for Licensing and Retail, helping to negotiate the appointment of adidas as a worldwide sponsor and licensee for EURO 2008 alongside the development of its global product range.
Lilley's appointment follows the departure of Retail Director Nick Peel, who left in August after spending two years with the Club. During this time, Arsenal relaunched its online and mobile retail arms and opened a new flagship store at Brent Cross Shopping Centre.
Speaking about the appointment, Arsenal Football Club Chief Commercial Officer, Tom Fox, said: "We are absolutely thrilled that Simon has decided to join Arsenal. His track record in delivering outstanding commercial revenues for global sports brands and developing multi-channel retail businesses is second to none."
"Our retail division has made enormous strides recently and we hope that Simon will help us to continue shaping and evolving our retail strategy as we look to identify further opportunities to grow our retail operations both online and internationally."
Lilley will start his new role with Arsenal on 19 November 2012.

Crop And Save
Fabio Montale (2001)
Delon In Mellow Fade Out Role: Retired Cop Targeted by Mafia Guns
For years, Alain Delon has held the mantle of the handsome brooding detective, soft- spoken almost to the point of silence, quietly going about the business of murder-- or solving them. In Europe Delon has been a major star since the 1950's, justly celebrated for films made with Visconti, Antonioni and Clement; his few American films didn't do much to enrich U.S. appeal, but no matter. Le Samourai, Rocco and His Brothers, Mr. Klein, Purple Noon and many others justly cemented his reputation, and here towards the end of his career, he has made this swan-song to a lifetime of crime in the movies, playing a cop about to retire.
Fabio Montale is set mainly in Marseilles (where Delon actually grew up), and the rich Technicolor and sense of place contributes greatly to this series of related cat-and- mouse detective thriller, as Montale, the title character, attempts at last to make some kind of dent in mafia crime.
As the three parts continue, it is evident that for one reason or another, it is dangerous to know Montale; even though he is much loved by the populace, and especially by his mom-and-pop neighbors, who have a seaside home where Montale likes to hang out, there lurks in the darkness people who want to do him in, who want to drag him into deadly shooting when he is ready to retire. It is a civilized entertainment with a quality script, plenty of suspense, and a richness of character development in it's 4 1/2 hour running time.
Children of Pleasure (1930)
Primitive Tuneful Delight For The Archivist Only
If you are possibly going to spend 75 minutes or so out of your life watching an early musical from MGM, there's a strong chance you already know what you're in for--this short quickie, compared to a creation from Busby Berkeley at Warner's a few years later, is primitive indeed, but captures a time and place in Hollywood like few other films are able to do.
The plot is simple--winsome secretary loves a songwriter who falls for a society dame. The songwriter is zippy Lawrence Gray who smiles through his tears, and composes a song when he wants to express himself in love or out of it. One of his interpreters (and comic relief) is a Sophie Tucker type, a sort of Red Hot Mama attached to her ethnic pianist (at least that's how's he's played). We get some peeks at various musical numbers, some out-of-step minstrels in a theatre and a nutty song and dance in a nightclub--and "you ain't seen nothing" until you've seen the production number for "Dust," one of the hero's hits--with several helpings of actual dust--and later, a catchy little number "The Whole Darned Things For You."
The pleasures in this film are to be found in the sense of history it represents, awkward dealings with the sound, none of it prerecorded--even an outdoor encounter with comedian Jack Benny is fascinating, and one wonders if the subway entrance was a location shot or on the MGM lot. "Jiminy Cricket" Cliff Edwards also makes a jokey cameo, and the film zips along at a good pace--but ending as if the producer decided the company had run out of resources and just called "cut" and "print." Children of Pleasure is an archivist's delight!
Araya (1959)
Striking Visual Style in Elemental Black and White Fits Elemental Lifestyles
This documentary-style, relatively short feature film is poignant, stunning in it's simplicity and rich in its humane impulses; it features actual workers in an almost impossibly hostile semi-desert bordering on the ocean that has served as a salt mine for over 450 years; the huge pyramids of salt are impressive, but even more so are the men who climb them with 140 pound baskets of salt, dumping them on top and receiving a few coins in their palms each time--and the women at the base of the pyramids who bag and tie the salt in hideously hot and dry climate.
While this group produces much of the money for the locals in their adobe villages, another group produces the food, venturing out in a large boat every morning hopefully to return with nets full of fish, as they have for hundreds of years. There is a strong sense of community that binds these people, and filmmaker Margot Benacerraf, instead of having anyone employ dialogue, follows her subjects with mostly poetic narration and a strong musical soundtrack.
There is actually a conclusion, and how the viewer reacts to it will certainly reflect attitudes toward modernization and the erasure of ancient traditions; this is a remarkably visual film, stunning to look at, whether from the top of a salt pyramid or bending down to a simple grave decorated with seashells in lieu of the flowers which cannot grow in this part of Venezuela. This is a valuable film document of a disappeared occupation; be sure to watch the "extra" which, fifty years later, follows up on some of the original workers.
Private Detective 62 (1933)
William Powell Shines in Zippy Light-Hearted Intrigue
Long before he directed Casablanca, Mildred Pierce and The Adventures of Robin Hood (among other brilliant films) Michael Curtiz took a hand in putting together this little Depression gem about shady detective work, women with money to spare, and a budding romance. The always puckishly sophisticated William Powell appears to have a great deal of fun playing what appears to be a shady detectivebut one with an integrity and a great charm for women.
In this zippy little pre-code gem, Powell is hired to put a wealthy female gambler in jeopardy so that her considerable winnings can be taken back by the speakeasy where she gambles; can you guess what happens when the two meet? The woman is played by the engagingly attractive but underused Margaret Lindsay, and she's an apt foil for Powell's machinations (Lindsay has never looked better than she does in this film, and one wonders why she never moved into more major films).
This is another Warner Brother's quickie, a highly entertaining, fast-moving (67 minutes!) "B" film loaded with familiar character actors like Hobart Cavanaugh and Irving Bacon and even Toby Wing, whose wide-smile and sexy persona impresses immediately in a five second appearance as one of Powell's willing conquests. There's even a pre-code drug addict named "Whitey" referred to as a "hophead" into "snow," the sort of drug reference which, as a result of the new code, would completely disappear from films for twenty years after 1934; drugs didn't make a major appearance again until Sinatra's Oscar-nominated performance in The Man With The Golden Arm in 1956.
This is not a great film by any means, but a perfect Saturday matinée popcorn movie, an excellent example of a studio film that was no longer made after 1950.
This Woman Is Dangerous (1952)
It's Ted McCords Movie...
The woman in the title is not particularly dangerous, but she seems to be crashingly masochistic. Joan Crawford, at this point in her acting career, has been playing women with an elegant sense style who fall for the wrong men, and this time it's super-petulant David Brian, who has probably been pouting since his older sister snapped his slingshot. Early in the film, Our Joan discovers her sight is in jeopardy, and purely by accident begins to bond with her doctor, mild-mannered but sensitive Dennis Morgan, set free from Warner's musicals for a year or so; Brian soon discovers the clandestine romance, and is ready to kill someone! He loves to wave his gun around!
Although not as tightly written as this semi-noir melodrama could be, there are plenty of exciting set pieces that delight the eye and excite the intellect--all the stuff with the trailer pursued by the motorcycle copy is, while totally illogical, fascinating and beautifully filmed, and therein for me lies a major interest in this film--the superb, careful use of the camera with which Warner films could be so effective--brilliant set interiors lit perfectly, whether in the home of a sick child's poor parents, or in an operating room's audience gallery, providing a dazzling set piece finale where everybody get's involved and there's enough shattered glass to build an igloo! Cinematographer Ted McCord is the man behind the camera; he's already lensed Crawford in numerous other films, and is responsible for a rich heritage of classics from The Treasure of The Sierra Madre to The Sound of Music--a dedicated artists, McCord's work could make a meatball look like filet mignon.
A sincere dedication from dozens of Warner contract players contribute to a wide variety of locales--from hospital waiting rooms to trailer parks, prison laundry rooms to doctor's offices, and the film, I think, accurately reflects the ability of a major studio to churn out a decent film every few weeks worthy of watching. This Woman Is Dangerous is no Mildred Pierce or Humoresque, but Joan is still in top form, manages to command attention, and there are few that can suffer as bravely. Well...Kay Francis, maybe..but that's another story.....
Della (1964)
A Crawford Classic It Ain't...
This is essentially a soap opera in so many ways, and the money spent (or lack of it) on location settings or interiors appears to be minimal. Crawford plays Della, a grand, nervous, demanding, slightly off-kilter grande dame who hides in isolation with her strange daughter high above the city's noise and hustle. A hot-shot lawyer operating for an outside corporation wants to purchase a huge chunk of Crawford's property--but she's not budging! Nobody pushes Joan around!
What plot follows is not half as mesmerizing as the period automobiles in glittering pastels or the various fashion statements that Crawford parades as if she had been born to them (one may notice, however, that almost all of her close-ups shift to a very soft focus--no need to adjust your television). Della has lived in this lavishly furnished mansion for decades, but if one looks closely at the garish flower arrangements, the truly tatty color combinations in the carpets and curtains and the weird accent colors chosen by some set decorator in a very big hurry with a very small choice, the corners cut are clear. The same goes for the tacky statues plopped down around the pool, particularly the one dubbed "The Sun God," looking like something from an old Tarzan movie that keeps ending up with flowers stuffed in its mouth for no apparent reason.
But reason isn't what this frenetic melodrama is all about--as you can tell from this review, half the fun of it is enjoying the trappings of a late period Tinseltown Product, a sprinkling of several fine character actors--Charles Bickford and Richard Carlson (looking utterly exhausted!) and the always commanding Joan , rising above the situation just as she did in Mildred Pierce, Flamingo Road or the almost perfect Humoresque . By this time, however, the studios were largely finished, had sold of most of their lavish inventory, and only cared about what money might be made from television. This is primarily a curiosity, and one must bring a good deal of suspended disbelief to the party to enjoy it.
Pagan Love Song (1950)
Escape To Paradise With Esther And Her Friends
What a fascinating historical document, a dazzling Technicolor window into the hearts and desires of the American public, or at least what MGM was marketing to them in 1950! As long as today's viewer isn't expecting to see a gripping love story or the conflict that might occur when two radically different cultures attempt to meld, as long as plot or logic or suspense don't matter much, this musical document is amazingly entertaining! And perhaps it's entertainment value evolves from secondary values such as color and location and decent singing. It's not Mutiny On The Bounty!
I expect no one ever has watched an Esther Williams film for the intellectual challenge or for cutting edge plot development: first and foremost, we want to see Esther swim, to gloriously navigate the MGM waters as no one else has managed--in over a dozen films, this Million Dollar Mermaid dallied with her suitors, wore bathing suits perfectly, and ultimately proved who was boss in the romantic department, just as she does in this escapist delight. When Howard Keel sails into Tahiti (at the time there were no viable airfields accessible on Tahiti so the studio settled for Hawaii, and it's ravishing!), he mistakes Esther for a native swimmer, treats her with condescension and Esther goes along with the joke until she can turn the tables on him.
In the meantime, Howard learns how to live more gregariously with the local natives, a happy lot who seldom challenge his ways, and who are always happy to run off to a luau or a beach party when there's coconut to be husked. There are a couple of lavish MGM showpieces here, one of them a staged cellophaned hula extravaganza featuring dazzling hula action and a performer who utilizes his body as a percussion instrument: it's a frenzied five minutes!! And wait until you see the mind- boggling Dali-esque underwater fantasy ballet, a trip through a bright coral wonderland peppered with golden flashes from the local fishies!
Had Stanley Donen, director of such gems as Singin' In The Rain and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, been allowed to direct, this might have been one of Esther's best--but she had suffered under his indifferent attitude toward her talents on Take Me Out To The Ball Game, and she refused to work with him, so the studio provided Robert Alton. Fortunately, we are spared Red Skelton or the other usual guest appearances which hamper the pace, and we are gifted with actual lush photography from the island of what appears to be Kauai for a 50's time warp, a zippy escape from any kind of reality.
Bank Holiday (1938)
Apples and Oranges and An Unexpected Narrative Delight
I try not to compare apples and oranges, but occasionally am driven to it. Last night I watched Martin Scorcese's Shutter Island, an overlong cinematic puzzle jammed with references, a jumbled encyclopedia drawn up from it's director's lifelong adoration of the movies, a film that doubles back upon itself, a film at odds with it's comic asides and serious overtones (i.e. Nazi Death Camps). I found much of it admirable, more of it a chore to experience.
Three On A Weekend, also known as Bank Holiday is a remarkable document to come out of an England preparing for war with Germany in the not too distant future, an early lark from master director Carol Reed (The Third Man), a film that begins in a hospital with a melodramatic event, then churned into the lives of several groups of people who are jammed into holiday trains ending up at the seaside.
I found the one film so sincere in intent, so clear in execution, and felt with such fondness for the peculiarities of the human condition, that after a long, long night of immersion in the twisted labyrinth of Shutter Island and into the frenzied mind of Leonardo DiCaprio as he copes with his own sanity, that this simple trip to the beach (in black and white) and dealing with the romantic and social dilemmas faced by the average man was an entertaining relief; it was so clear that there would be changes, and not all of them simple- minded.
And that, I suppose is my point. Occasionally I weary of repeatedly bludgeoned with gore, visually assaulted with violent behavior, and mystified by unclear motivations; such an approach may be modern, but now and then I miss the spell of simple entertainment in a story of people I can care about. That's what Three On A Weekend delivered in spades, and that's why I recommended it.
L'insoumis (1964)
Dubbed Delon Is Better Than No Delon: Moody Romantic Thriller
This film just shows up every now and then on Turner Classic Movies in a dubbed version: it's a surprisingly moving film from the 1960s, a period in which cultural values were undergoing major changes. The hero, played by a dazzlingly handsome and charismatic Alain Delon, is a Foreign Legion deserter and has decided, after his quick escape, that amid all the political drum beating in France and Algeria at the time, all he wants to do is return quietly home and tend his bees and see a daughter left behind. He wants no more of shooting. Little does he know.
Delon must find enough francs to smuggle himself across the waters to France, and in selling his services gets caught up in a chase situation with a woman hostage, and by this time the willing viewer will be caught up as well--the cinematography is compelling, the music score unobtrusive but appropriate, and actors backing up the central performance all give memorable performances that often cross paths in one way or another.
Usually I run screaming from the screen when a film is dubbed from French or Italian into English, all the gestures and voice qualities out of whack with the original film or actor. This one, however, works well, and I found within ten minutes I was lost in the chase; the only complaint I had was in the nature of the ending, and there is no place in an informative review to discuss it here. See for yourself--if you can find it.
La scorta (1993)
Cheap Thrills Not The Point of This Suspense Expose
This tidy Italian film appears to be an honest snapshot into the corruption some people must deal with on a daily basis; although the plot centers around an outside judge who is supposed to uncover corruption, the view becomes fascinated with the daily lives of those who protect him, the trusted ones whose lives are put on the line every time they walk outside to get into a car, when they drive down city streets, when the shield the man they are there to protect.
Each of these "escorts" (hence the title "Scorta") is given a distinct personality, and we come to care for them, particularly a contrasting pair, one an angry loner with a dark agenda of his own, and one a family man trying to make a name for himself in law enforcement. We come to care for these two more than we care to watch another bloodletting, the possibility of which lurks around almost every frame of the film: corruption runs rampant, and thus this is not a simple film about the good cop triumphant over the bad gangster.
Some people complain regarding the ending, as it appears not to be nice and tidy, the viewer left with the satisfaction that two hours spent watching can leave them feeling happy. I would suggest that the film gains power by creating a vacuum where each of us is led by the writer and director of this film to make us deal with a little reality. Judge for yourself! It's a worthwhile film with a penetrating score by Ennio Morricone.

Excel 2010 Add forms / 2nd spreadsheet to a column
Hi all
I'm trying to add a little Calculator function to a Spreadsheet I use for trading shares.
I pull basic data from YAHOO finance and would like to have at the bottom of a spreadsheet a calculator which would allow me to enter Nr of shares bought, Price Paid and return things like Profit / Loss.
The advantage of having it on the spreadsheet is then it's all in the same place.
The spreadsheet looks something like this -- enclosed pic
I'd like to embed the calculator in column M say starting at Row 15-- I'm not sure whether this should be done with a FORM or embed another spreadsheet.
Any ideas / links --- all the googling I've done either quote examples that are so impossibly complicated or hard or just too basic.

It is possible that there already exists a function formula for the purpose:
Excel functions (by category) - Excel - Microsoft Office
e.g. PV - Returns the present value of an investment
I just came across this, which might also be useful:

Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but a small step nearer:
Add Calculator In Excel 2010
By default this feature is hidden.
To make it apparent, navigate to Quick Access toolbar options and click More Commands.
It will lead you to Excel Options dialog, under Choose commands, click drop-down button to select All Commands. Now scroll-down to find Calculator command and click Add >> to show it in Quick Access toolbar. Hit OK to continue.
Click Calculator button in Quick Access toolbar to immediately open Calculator. Now you can use it for simple calculations

Hi Irene
That's not my actual portfolio !! -- I'm just starting to look at OPTION TRADING (Weekly) -- The list of stocks is the available stocks for which Options trade WEEKLY.
The calculator was to calculate possible profit on a particular option at expiry -- and since weekly options expire every week the profit is per 7 days which can be HUGE since there are actually only 5 trading days where money is potentially at risk -- so if you have say a stock worth 20 USD and you SELL a CALL on it at a strike price of say 21 USD for a premium of 0.5 USD a share you've collected REGARDLESS of whatever happens to the stock 50 USD per contract (Options contracts are always per 100 shares)
So your Gain is 50/1950 * 100 % = 2.56%
-- Not bad for 5 days work. And you keep the stock-
- Don't forget that the amount of money at risk is NOT the 2000 the stock costs but LESS the 50 USD PREMIUM the you get for writing (i.e SELLING) the call. 99% of people forget this and get the %'s wrong since they use the original investment as the base - but that's clearly wrong --say the stock goes to ZERO you've still got the 50 USD so the MAX money at risk is obviously 2000 - 50.
If the stock RISES above the "Strike" price You will be "Called" i.e you HAVE to sell the stock at 21 USD -- so you've STILL made the 50 USD on the Call premium PLUS 1 USD profit on the stock per share = 100 USD so your profit % gain in the week is 250/1950 * 100% = 12.82%
For PUTS its the reverse -- people who are interested can google on selling CALLS and PUTS
(Note calculations are for SELLING options --around 90% expire without being Called or PUT so can be profitable if done carefully
Annualize that and quite decent profits can be made - makes the Banks with their paltry 3% A YEAR look stupid.
That was what I was trying to do on the spreadsheet
As an example Your trading screen will look something like this (screen attached) -- I use OptionsXpress but they are all roughly similar
Here's a list of the Option Chain for PCX for Week 1 of May -- expires on Friday 6 May.
For a STRIKE of 26 USD you can get nearly 50 Cents a share for selling the CALL option.
Anyway this is primarily a Windows Forum rather than a Stock exchange Forum but you can get the idea of some great things you can do in the newer versions of EXCEL which make things like getting data from the web a doddle.

Hi Irene
I see you are in the UK -- for the examples I've quoted you have to trade the US market -- however OptionsXpress based in Amsterdam - Head office in Chicago- allows European residents to open accounts and deal on US markets -- you need to sign a declaration you aren't resident in the USA so are "Witholding Tax exempt" -- then its fine.
Great time in London during the wedding.

Get Into S.S Anne after it has left!
Pretty pointless hint, but it can apply to other blocked entrances in Pokemon blue, red, and yellow, such as getting onto the bike route without a bike. You must have surf for this to work.
What you do is position yourself right above the sailor guy blocking the entrance to the ss anne after it has sailed away. Walk one step to the left, so that you are diagonallly left of the sailor. then, take one step right and IMMEDIATELY press start. Save the game and reset.
Now, for reasons unknown the game programmers for the old Pokemon games set your character to always position downwards as default when you start the game. However, because you save immediately after stepping right, the game becomes confused.
Now after you reset, you should be facing right. If not, try again. Now, use surf, but instead of going right, where the water is, surf downwards, and you will pass straight through the sailor and into the SS Anne Dock. The SS Anne will still be there!

Clean Energy Suppliers: What are The Best PA Wind & Renewable Options?
Happy Valentine's Day! Want to show some love for your mother today? We mean Mother Earth…
Make the switch to clean energy with a PA Wind & Renewable supplier if you haven't yet! It's easy, won't break the bank and you'll be guilt-free of awful carbon emissions.
Which one should you choose? I recently found out there's a few options to consider when I moved…
I'm a procrastinator. Although I moved to a new apartment a few months ago, I signed up for PECO (as required for most apartments) and noticed that it was ending the PECO WIND program as of December 31st! With that, I needed to research other alternative energy suppliers. Since my brother is an environmental professional, I called to ask for his opinion.
(Actual conversation with my brother):
Julie: I was debating which energy supplier to use and looking at a few renewable companies. Any thoughts?
Brother J: Well, you could try to pretend to save the world and go with a renewable energy company. But rates vary. Right now, there's no subsidies for wind or solar so that's running kinda expensive. However, natural gas is the cheapest energy type right now.
Julie: Cheap is relative until you account for the number of our shale resources being fracked and contaminated water supply…
As cheesy as it may sound, I couldn't go against my conscience and go with a 'varied' energy supplier after thinking about it. Josh Fox, you made an impact with Gasland. I'm voting with my dollar.
So what is a Philly resident to do for a smart clean energy supplier? Do you have to break the bank? Luckily, there's a few resources out there for you. PA Power Switch lays out price comparisons and types of energy with what's available by your zip code.
Here's a few of the clean energy suppliers broken down for you (Note: the rates may vary based on several factors, so please check with the supplier directly for current rates):
- Community Energy is based locally in Radnor, PA and 100% of their renewable energy come from PA Wind & Solar. The rate is currently at $0.103 per kWh. There's no membership fee and no cancellation fees, but the price can fluctuate. PRO: You can support local green jobs and economy with this supplier.
- The Energy Co-op: Based in Philadelphia, the Energy Co-op is a member-owned, not-for-profit company so you can have a say on what's going on. They have a fixed annual price with no cancellation fees. They do have a minimal membership of $15/year, and 100% renewable electricity is based at $.1069 per kWh. The Energy Co-op provides two product choices (both Green e-certified): EcoChoice100 (100% renewable: 99% PA wind energy and 1% solar power from the rooftops of their own members in Southeastern PA) and EcoChoice25 (20% renewable: 24.75% PA wind farms and .25% solar). A graph is available here for a comparison of what PECO customers purchase.
- Clean Currents is based in Maryland and certified sustainable as a Certified Green Business & Certified B-Corporation. They exclusively sell green clean energy, advocate for environmental legislation and support local businesses. Their rates average $.086 per kWh based on the type of wind product.
- Green Mountain Energy uses sun, wind & water for clean energy and have saved customers 19.4 billion pounds of carbon dioxide emissions since 1997. Their rates start at $.087/kWh (flexibility month-to-month), 9.1¢ (fixed), and 11.0¢ for Pollution Free Gold Reliable; many are from 100% pollution free sources including local wind & solar. One other fun fact about Green Mountain: Customers also have the opportunity to support solar installations for local non-profits. Signing up for their Pollution Free Gold electricity product includes membership to the Green Mountain Energy Sun Club, which has donated over 500 kW of solar energy to non-profits.
Choose PA Wind always keeps you up to date on where you can purchase local PA wind power. Many other suppliers give clean energy options, but often offer Natural Gas as well (as another main product) to keep rates low. Therefore, you're still supporting natural gas fracking as a side product from the company.
Readers, what supplier are you using? Anything you've heard about the various clean energy suppliers?

Tuesday, November 11, 2014
7:00 - 8:30 p.m., Shiley Theatre
Guest lecture by:
Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved
Patel will speak about why we live in a world with nearly 2 billion overweight and almost 1 billion starving.
