the green economy. Below you will find a link to the Department of
Labor (DOL) site for more specific application information. Here

Act of the Workforce Investment Act.
3. Energy Training Partnership Grants ($100 million), with

Investment Act.
4. State Labor Market Information Improvement Grants ($50 million),
with applications due 8/14/09. These grants are designed to help

due 8/5/09. These grants are designed to help those currently

PLYMOUTH — Plymouth's "Road Warriors" will return to the Rock on Friday hoping to pick up their first home football win of the 2012 season.
The Rockies, who are 2-0 on the season away from home and a shocking 0-2 at PHS, returned to full strength at Northridge a week ago and the defense responded by pitching a shutout in a 34-0 win. It was a complete turnaround for the unit that was much maligned in the first three games.
"Northridge is a really good football team, and I feel like we smothered them defensively," said Plymouth coach John Barron. "One reason is we changed our scheme. Since I came here as Tom Condon's assistant I've been a 4-4 guy but we finally decided to go with an odd front."
The debate about whether a 3-4 or 4-4 defense is most effective rages all the way to NFL ranks. For the Rockies — as with most teams — it's a matter of personnel.
"More and more people are doing it to us, and we really needed a spark," said Barron. "We needed to put our kids in a position where they could be aggressive. You put a kid like Deandre Pickford at that nose position where he doesn't have to be quite so disciplined, and you have (Ethan) Sampson and (Vincente) Vasquez at those inside (linebacker) spots where in our system they are taught to read the guards on every play and those guards are uncovered right there in front of them.
"In addition it allows a kid like Kyser McCrammer to play in space which is where he is the best. We struggled with pass defense and now those guys have help behind them with two safeties. We really like what we saw, the kids like it, and we're going to do what's best for the personnel we have."
Then there was the offense.
"The numbers speak for themselves — (quarterback) Ike (Kastner) had a great game," said Barron. "But more than just those numbers he affected everybody around him. In the offense we run, if your quarterback is that big a threat to run the football it makes you hard to handle. (Fullback) Sam (Stevens) can beat you by himself and anybody we play is going to have to tie up a bunch of guys to just stop him on that dive. I feel like our wings are pretty good and when your quarterback is that big a threat too it becomes very difficult. With his (Kastner's) game experience it's a matter of managing the offense and worrying about schemes, and that's going to make you better."
"I really like our team right now," he added.
A curious Elkhart Memorial team comes to town Friday with some bizarre numbers for that program. The Crimson Chargers are 0-4 on the year but maybe more shocking is the fact they have managed just three points in those four losses, suffering three straight shutouts, including a strange 2-0 loss to Goshen two weeks ago.
"I really don't know what's up with them. I only know that when you play a school that has as many athletes walking in the hallway as they do you don't take them lightly," said Barron. "Their coach (Bill Roggeman) is in his first year, but he's been a head coach before and he was Tim Dawson's (Concord head football coach) offensive coordinator for years.
"I just know they have a lot of great athletes on that roster and they are a threat to score any time they touch the ball. This is also the game where everything really went south for us last year. We're trying to impress that upon our kids."

- Excellent MenuBAndrewDined on 11/22/2014The food was great and the service was excellent! We had a an amzing time there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014Amazing restaurant! Incredible food, ambiance and service. Perfect evening out. I would definitely go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still a favourite.KPAonOneDined on 11/21/2014I have been to Tapas many times over the past few years and it remains a favourite. The food is fantastic, and the service is superb. It is such a cozy, romantic little place and, on the night we were there, the live music with Latin guitarist Andrew Ibanez, was a perfect addition to the evening. All of our tapas were so flavourful and just the right amount. The chocolate custard dessert was heavenly and large enough to share, although once we both had a taste, we were hoping the other person was feeling full! Another perfect evening at Tapas - it never disappoints.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Well-deserved #1 on tripadvisorFoodieVIPDined on 11/19/2014If you haven't tried what chocolates should taste like, you must order the pot Au chocolate. A good plate is a conbinatiin of smell, taste & presentation, and this dessert achieves all. It is made out of real cocoa with the bittersweet sensation! The rosemary caramel sauce on the side accentuates the flavour. Please save room for dessert. The other tapas dishes also exceed our expectation in a smallm18-seat bistro, tenderloin well-balanced with balsamic sauce, giant diver scallops are like fresh from the ocean. The chef here must know the best cooking techniques, and relentlessly perfecting each dish with innovative fusion of ingredients. For the unconventional, try the bone marrow with escargots which even 5 diamonds hotels' restaurants would not dare to offer on their menus. Make sure you stop over at this restaurant in Canmore before heading out to Banff, as you can have fine dining quality restaurant here for the price of family restaurant in Banff!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Favorite Restaurant (Hidden Gem!)ProssthebossDined on 11/15/2014I have loved this place since the moment I was introduced to it! It has a great food menu that changes with whichever foods are in season so you are always guaranteed the best flavors and freshest eats. The restaurant is in a old house so the setting is very intimate and cozy. All foods are meant to be shares which makes this place great for special occasions with a loved one. You should know that you are not likely to get a seat without a reservation as it is always full and for good reason! I can not wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A wonderful way to share a mealbrowneyesDined on 11/14/2014We loved the variety of menu choices, the small plate sizes gave us the opportunity to try many more dishes than a full plate size menu would. The slow pace of the meal allowed us to savor each dish. We'll be backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Interesting menu, nice changeDeeeDined on 11/8/2014Food was delicious and wine choices plentiful. All dishes we ordered were good. Only negative is that the Brussel sprouts dish had only 3 Brussel sprouts but lots of cauliflower, which was good, but then don't call it a Brussel sprouts dish! We had a salad to share and 4 tapas items and left stuffed (2people).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- D8N8ReviewsDined on 11/7/2014Very charming restaurant on the first floor. We were seated on the second floor and it was more private but lacked the charm of being on the same floor as the guitarist. We loved the restaurant and its quaint location. However, we had a glitch with the open table booking. The Open Table digital response was that there was an error with my booking so I thought we did not get the reservation and I did not receive an email from Open Table confirming my reservation. The restaurant called a little later to say I was late for my reservation and when I explained the message from Open Table the manager was not kind in his response. Beyond that the server and other staff were great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Evening OutFalconfoodieDined on 11/7/2014This was our third visit and it was amazing! The choices of tapas are excellent & the Sangria, both white and red, is delicious. Make sure to chose the chorizo and dates! We arrived for a 6:00 reservation ( a must have) and we were impressed to see a live Spanish guitarist to add to the sultry mood. An excellent spot for a any special event or girls night out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/1/2014Great dining experience, food came out a little quick but they took back the hots redid them and made up for it. Overall an excellent night I would go back. However I would not really call it a romantic atmosphere to tight to other tables and quite loud. Fun night out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014Food was great, service was on par. Restaurant is small, my purse was knocked off my chair and cutlery knocked off the table by the servers walking by.Special Features:
- Wonderful Date NightKingofWestlockDined on 10/29/2014Had a great experience trying tapas cuisine for the first time. Would recommend any couple give it a try while in Canmore!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Love it every time!IzzyDined on 10/18/2014Tapas is a cozy little place with an amazing menu. i have been twice and the menu was different, but equally impressive. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered, and wished we could have ordered more. Going with a small group is best so you can try and share many plates. The prices are maybe a touch high; but the quality of the food and the ambiance does not disappoint. You certainly get what you pay for. Highly recommend it.Special Features:
- Amazing!princessrachelDined on 10/18/2014This was our first visit to Tapas and we can't wait to go again!! Everything was absolutely delicious. The waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly and the service was prompt. We are going again in a few weeks and bringing a friend. The only thing that was slightly less than wonderful was that we were seated upstairs and it had been a rather warm day so the temperature was a little warmer than what was comfortable. I would suggest reserving a table on the main level when possible.Special Features:
- Awesome!FoodloversDined on 10/17/2014Wow! We are still dreaming about the scallops. Absolutely delicious food and great atmosphere! We were so impressed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unique Dining Experience in CanmorebigheaddinersDined on 10/17/2014We bought a voucher for Tapas at a silent auction, along with a voucher for the Paintbox Lodge. Tapas was a unique dining experience, matched only by our tapas food experience in Barcelona, Spain. Service by Alex was exceptional. A bit busy and noisy, but we saw that as a sign of a very popular venue. Wonderful to be able to retire after dinner to the welcoming fire and comfortable bed in the Paintbox Lodge next door.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- outstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/16/2014We visited this charming restaurant on October 16th. The food was awesome, and the service outstanding. We would definitely recommend this place and we will return the next time we visit Canmore.Special Features:
- A Local GemOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/16/2014Tapas is my favorite restaurant in Alberta. Whenever we pass through or visit Canmore or Banff I am there having dinner. Their Caeser salad is to die for. The food is simply amazing and the service is unbeatable. If you get the chance, a place to have awesome food. Even the magpies think so.Special Features:
- TapasOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/13/2014Tapas was an enjoyable dinning experience. The service was attentive, pleasant, well paced and knowledgeable. The food was excellent and tastefully displayed. The ambiance warm and inviting. We would readily recommend Tapas to family and friends.Special Features:

- Best meal ever!KW20784Dined on 10/12/2014My partner and I chose this restaurant for its vegetarian options and so that we could each have multiple tastes of a bunch of different things. The chef didn't disappoint. We asked him (and it is a "him") to pick two of his favorites. He chose the eggplant mousse and stuffed portobello. Decadence in abudance! We also ordered the tomato tart, the arugula salad and the broccoli, which was without a doubt the most amazing broccoli preparation I've ever had. Dessert was a house made citrus-y cheesecake over pistachio crust. Truly excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sooooo GOOD.Steveo1015Dined on 10/11/2014Anytime we go to Canmore, which is quite often, we always make a point to go to Tapas. One of the best restaurants you'll ever go to!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Been a few times and can't wait to go back! Great job Tapas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply LovelyBabbsDined on 9/29/2014We went with a work group of 5. They are more geared towards small groups (2-4), BUT they were very accomodating. Our Server was AMAZING! Any request we made, big or small appeared to be a non-issue. The best part is you get to try so many different things. Everything tasted as good as it looked.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Back on my fav listOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 9/26/2014This is a nostalgic place for my best friend and I. We booked a late table and brought our significant others this round. It was small bites of food with big flavour and the service was great. Very entertaining! Dessert is a must. I'm obsessed with the peanut butter mousse ;)! My last experience at Tapas was disappointing due to the service, but this round sure made up for it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A nice change in diningeatingenjoymentDined on 9/25/2014Tapas offers a wide assortment of both warm and cold plates.Waiters suggest two tapas per person,but I would suggest if you are a couple,start with three.If you are an eggplant enthusiast,try the Eggplant Mousse.Served with pita bread, the mousse was a complex explosion of spices and herbs.The Smoked Salmon Tower was two rice crackers(?)holding a generous amount of smoked salmon which was topped with a mango salsa. A perfect blend of sweet and smoky. The two hot tapas were the basque Lamb Stew and Chorizo Figs.The stew had very little actual lamb pieces in it and was far too salty for our tastes.

Wausau /ˈwɔːsɔː/[4] is a city in and the county seat of Marathon County, Wisconsin, United States. The Wisconsin River divides the city into east and west. The city is adjacent to the town of Wausau.
As of the 2010 census, Wausau had a population of 39,106.[5] It is the core city of the Wausau Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which includes all of Marathon County and had a population of 134,063 at the 2010 census. The current Mayor of Wausau is Jim Tipple.
The Wisconsin River first drew settlers to the area during the mid-19th century. The area had been called "Big Bull Flats" or "Big Bull Falls" by the original French explorers[6] because the long rapids in the river created many bubbles, called bulle in French. A treaty with the Chippewa Indians in 1836 transferred land in the area to federal ownership. Wausau means "a faraway place" or "a place which can be seen from far away" in the Ojibwe language.[6]
George Stevens, who lent his name to Stevens Point, a city south of Wausau, began processing the pine forests into lumber in 1840. Other sawmills along the Wisconsin River began to spring up.[6] By 1846, Walter McIndoe arrived and took the lead in the local business and community. His efforts helped, in part, to establish Marathon County in 1850.[6]
By 1852, Wausau had been established as a town and continued to grow and mature. German immigration into the area brought more people, and by 1861, the settlement was incorporated as a village.[6]
Churches, schools, industry and social organizations began to flourish, with the state granting the city a charter in 1872, and with elections held the first Tuesday in April.[6]
The residents elected A. Kickbusch as their first mayor in 1874.[6] Five years earlier, Kickbusch had returned to his homeland of Germany and brought back with him 702 people, all of whom are believed to have settled in the Wausau area. Kickbusch founded the A. Kickbusch Wholesale Grocery Company, a family business carried on by his grandson, August Kickbusch II. In 1917, August Kickbusch II purchased a modest, four-square-style house at 513 Grant Street,[7] and undertook massive renovations, adding two sun rooms, arcaded windows, a tiled porch in the Mediterranean style, a formal classical entrance, and ornate custom-designed chimney crowns. The home is on the national register of historic places as part of the Andrew Warren Historic District.
When the railroad arrived in 1874, Wausau was even more accessible to settlers and industry, which was still mostly focused on lumber. This allowed the city to continue to grow and flourish, even as other villages and towns in the area declined because of the rapidly vanishing forests and closing of the lumber mills.
Wausau's favorable location on the Wisconsin River was partly responsible for the city's survival. The economy was diversified in the early 20th century, led by an the insurance group Employers Insurance of Wausau, now a part of Liberty Mutual. Its logo, first introduced in 1954, was the downtown Milwaukee Road railroad depot, which was set against the backdrop of the community's skyline.
The Wall Street Crash of 1929 had a major effect on the Wausau area. Many industries were forced to cut back by laying off and dismissing workers or by closing altogether.[6] After decades of growth, the city virtually ground to a halt. However, under the New Deal, Wausau was significantly modernized. After World War II, the city once again continued to grow in industry, education, recreation, and retail, more than in population.
After the fall of Saigon, Hmong refugees from Southeast Asia who fought alongside the CIA immigrated into Wausau at the end of the 1970s. Wausau church organizations (Catholic and Lutheran) helped Hmong refugees adapt to American life.
In 1983, the Wausau Center shopping mall opened. By the mid-to-late-1990s, the city of Wausau began to purchase and develop parts of West Industrial Park to meet the needs of the expanding economy and companies. In the late 1990s, the city demolished a number of aging buildings on a square in the center of downtown, creating what is known locally at the 400 Block, an open, grassy block with paved sidewalks crossing it. The square is a focal point for summer festivals.[8] In recent years Wausau has redone the 400 Block, adding a permanent stage and other renovations that in total cost $2 million.
By the end of the 20th century, Wausau began to implement the Wausau Central Business District Master Plan,[9] which included redevelopment and economic restructuring of downtown Wausau. The tallest commercial building in Wisconsin outside of Milwaukee is located in Wausau, the 241-foot Dudley tower.[10] Significant school construction in recent years has occurred in response to changing demographics.[11]
Wausau is located at 44°57′N 89°38′W / 44.950°N 89.633°WCoordinates: 44°57′N 89°38′W / 44.950°N 89.633°W.[12]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 20.04 square miles (51.90 km2), of which, 18.78 square miles (48.64 km2) is land and 1.26 square miles (3.26 km2) is water.[1] The city is located at an altitude of 1,195 feet (364 m). Wausau is close to the center of the northern half of the Western Hemisphere. Just west of Wausau, 45°N meets 90°W (45°N 90°W / 45°N 90°W), which is exactly halfway between the equator and the north pole and a quarter of the way around the world from the prime meridian.
Wausau's climate is classified as halfway between temperate and subarctic (boreal and hemiboreal).[citation needed] It is built on or around a hemiboreal forest, which has some of the characteristics of a boreal forest and shares some of the features of the temperate zone forests to the south. Coniferous trees predominate in the hemiboreal zone, but a significant number of deciduous species are found there, as well.
The area has four distinct seasons.

They weren't easy to make. They did have a good flavor for so few points for two cookies per serving. The vanilla didn't taste good but the chocolate did. Very sweet. My husband didn't like them though. Probably wouldn't make again.
I usually make these for Christmas, but I add chopped pecans. Wonder what the point value would be with pecans.
Loved these!! A great snack to have around just had to keep my husband out of them!
Very easy if you have a hand-held mixer. I omitted the vinegar and vanilla and used lemon juice instead. I also threw in some lemon zest. Great, sweet snack. Light and summery. I think I'll try them again with some flavored extracts: run, cherry, mint, who knows...

Matthew Birt says:
Bridgestone has announced that its role as official tyre supplier to the MotoGP world championship will end at the end of the 2015 campaign.
The Japanese factory has been involved in MotoGP since 2002 and became the exclusive official supplier when the premier class introduced a single tyre rule for the 2009 season onwards.
Bridgestone's current three-year deal expires at the end...

This is potentially very good news as far as racing goes in the Motogp class. The single tyre rule has done nothing at all to bring excitement or closer racing to the class. The same tyres on different bikes has largely created more problems than less for some teams (Ducati in particular I feel).
As this comes into effect in 2016 it's already clear sadly that Dorna are going to f*** it up. Putting this out to tender should be open and allow the tyre companies who want to and all the bike teams a few months to grab any opportunities to test on every bike. As anyone knows who rides; the different characteristics and handling of any bike can improve or deteriorate dramatically depending on the rubber. By stupidly announcing there is only a mere 2 weeks window from now for bids (why the rush?!) with no testing means probably the lowest bid will win and it suggests that Dorna will continue on with the failed single tyre rule again…and have no clue if the chosen company will be able to produce the quality of tyres required.
Get rid of the single tyre rule and let the bikes be shod with what suits each of the bikes the best. This is supposed to be a race series of the very best not primarily a cost/budget focus exercise. The budget/cost side of Motogp is ruining the racing and too many contradictions where vast money is wasted tend to make a mockery of other areas…like saving the cost of 4 litres of juice per bike per race…..but flying back and forth across the world in random and inefficient order seems to be ok.

Hooray....well almost....bit strange having a 3 week tender process for a key supply contract worth millions in marketing potential .... One could almost suspect the winner has already been selected...but I'm sure Dorna wouldn't work that way...

Sounds like a done deal to me. Dunlop support Moto 2 & 3 so dropping a few more tyres on the bus should be easy. Who else is going to do it. Michelin maybe but unlikely. Pirelli are flat out in WSB so again unlikely.
Bridgestone are pulling out because their tyre problems over the last few rounds (which are not necessarily totally their own fault), have caused them serious embarrassment and no doubt road sales (as riders switch to alternatives or just don't replace with Bridgestone through lack of confidence).
It is a fickle, low margin business and whoever takes it on has to be pretty thick skinned.

Having one make of tyre for everyone was always a bad idea as there is no incentive for Bridgestoner to make an effort , the riders don't have any choice .
But in the past when there was no restriction on tyre manufacturers we had a situation where they could make and provide tyres only for specific bikes or riders which I think was unfair so , if we want choice and competition the obvious answer is to open things up by allowing say 2 manufacturers to provide tyres but those tyres have to be available to everyone .
There would then be genuine comptition as they each tried to come up with the best tyres and to have their tyres on the winning bikes .
Come on Dorna sort it out!
Homogenisation to a generic level always creates boredom and lack of interest. Its why sporting championships have rivalries because of the many differences within teams or individual oponents. We don't have single manufacturer teams, bikes, shocks, gearboxes, helmets, leathers, brakes, exhausts……so why do we have to with tyres?

Only a three week window to get the applications in means an already done deal or a way to prevent any single manufacturer being able get a bid in on time leaving the door open for a return to multiple manufacturers supplying different teams on contract, a return to the old days.
The question is really about cost, can Dunlop afford to supply the entire series ? I think not, Bridgestone are out but are surely able to continue for a team or two in competition with Michelin, Dunlop and Pirelli and maybe others. Development of manufacturing supporting just one open class team would be an option for the likes of Metzler, Avon, Continental etc so fine tuning for certain bikes and riders styles would be an option for these smaller companies and a good advertisement for their product if seen to be successful in real terms against the factory efforts.

Any wonder Bridgestone have given up when there's a different set of parameters to cater for every other weekend thanks to DORNA?
What if no one tenders?

But it's not on Dorna's agenda. Bridgestone have had their marketings worth of MotoGP, time for them to move on. But who will step into the breach? Michelin didn't want it last time around, will they have a change of heart?
Pirelli's or Dunlop? Are they capable, let alone willing?
No, it's got to be the Chinese. Forget 60 degree lean angles and lap records, Cheng Shin are coming and dissent will not be tolerated. Only Uncle Carmelo will win from this.
