He's 30 minutes late. Then the delay hits an hour. But no one seems to mind.
Soon, Irish author Stuart Neville will arrive, fresh from Mitchell International Airport, though decidedly not fresh in appearance. Slightly disheveled with his wild brown hair spottily matted and wearing a rumpled sweater, Neville bears the look of both a writer who's been scratching his head at a desk all day and that of a delayed traveler. It's understandable. Still, on the fourth stop of his U.S. tour, he's preparing to read from his latest post-World War II crime novel, Ratlines.
In the back of the store, around two dozen people have gathered, waiting out the delay. They're on leather couches and seated in folding chairs, though no one's in the first row, known as the "buffer row." Few, employees say, ever sit there. Unless they're super-fans. No one today has reached that status.
With everything in order, Stacie Williams takes the mic to introduce Neville, effectively hushing the small yet diverse crowd.
And with that, Neville was up. He stepped to the podium, stood with his back to a shelf of mystery novels, their dark covers set against jarring neon type, and took a swig of water. As he cleared his throat and began to introduce himself, his Irish-accented voice shook slightly.
"My na—
"Excuse me!" says a woman from the third row of chairs. "Could I get you any tea or coffee?" she asks, nodding over her left shoulder to the attached Starbucks store.
"Oh, no thank you," Neville says, smiling.
This is Boswell Book Company, a wonderfully eclectic yet remarkably accessible independent bookstore on Milwaukee's East Side. And like a hostess at a family restaurant, this guest's coffee-offering gesture doesn't seem out of place. This is a store where comfort – on all levels – is imperative. After the offer, the crowd laughed politely, but one laugh, booming and just a bit nasally, stands out louder than the rest.
That's Daniel Goldin, the 51-year-old, khaki-clad man who can often be spotted near his home in Bay View, walking the oft-broken sidewalks of Kinnickinnic Avenue with his face in a book. Or as Oren Teicher, CEO of the American Booksellers Association, describes him, "one of the best booksellers in the country."
Since opening Boswell in 2009, Goldin has made quite the mark on Milwaukee. A New Yorker who arrived years earlier to work for Schwartz Bookshops, he's made a physical book store indispensable to avid readers at a time when bookstores of all kinds are closing at a rapid rate, and digital is attempting to flourish.
That strategy is working for Goldin's Boswell. Sales are up year over year, and Boswell has been instrumental in helping launch the careers of bestselling authors and booksellers. It's even influenced other independent bookstores around the country.
This all comes courtesy of Goldin, who appreciates the praise but has a hard time sunbathing in the warm rays of success. As the owner, he embodies the worries of the store, scrutinizing everything from the arrangement of chairs at a reading to the waves of fear that come and go with the industry. After all, there's always another bestselling author to bring to Milwaukee and more readers to convince that physical books are just as worthwhile as their digital cousins.
Born in Manhattan April 14, 1961, to a teacher and a father who was employed both as a bookkeeper and a factory worker, Goldin remembers growing up in Queens and going into bustling Manhattan with his mother. The two would walk down Fifth Avenue, just south of Central Park, to window shop, stopping in the now-closed Scribner's and Doubleday bookstores. If Goldin was lucky, he'd get to pick out one book to take home.
"Books," he says, "were a special occasion."
Now a self-proclaimed Don Lee fan, Barbara Pym "obsessive" and lover of works by the late Laurie Colwin, Goldin can still recall one of the first books to capture his imagination. It was Half Magic by Edward Eager, a book about a set of cousins' fantastical summer adventures, which Goldin says inspired many subsequent children's books.
Graduating from Dartmouth in 1982, he earned his undergraduate degree (or "barely got through," in his words) in math and also studied Russian. Shortly afterward, he began his career in book publishing as a publicity assistant at Warner Books (now Grand Central Publishing) during what he calls the "heyday of office supplies." The bulk of his duties included an intricate color-coding process for book tours along with the data organizing that was standard for his position. "You had to just make everything and do everything we do with Excel sheets – without Excel sheets," he says.
While on vacation in Milwaukee in 1986, Goldin happened to meet then-Harry W. Schwartz Bookshops' manager John Eklund. Goldin and Eklund spoke of Goldin's experience as a publicist, and soon after that first meeting, Eklund offered Goldin a job as a bookseller at Schwartz Bookshops' Downtown location.
Soon, Goldin was packing up his life in New York and, having taken a two-thirds cut in pay for the gig, moving into an efficiency apartment in the Blackstone building on Milwaukee's East Side. There was no kitchen sink, just a half-size refrigerator and a two-burner stove. He used the bathtub to wash dishes. And when cash was tight, Goldin went to Marshall Field's with his department store credit card to charge necessities like noodles and peanut butter and jelly.
"And that's how I would get through," he says.
Within a decade, however, Goldin was tasked with buying all of the adult-level books for the five Schwartz locations to sell.
Goldin is a self-proclaimed slow reader, and good intel has it that he only likes to read one book at a time. This may paint a picture of quiet and calm, but he's most recognizable in his frenetic energy. Sit long enough in the sandy brown leather couch in the back of Boswell, and you'll no doubt hear a chorus of "Hello, Daniel!" followed by smiles and waves, over and over.
Often wearing oversized cardigans, you can't miss his joyous stomping through the store, his shaggy brown hair flopping up and down as he darts back and forth. But it's his speech that's most disarming. Goldin's volume ranges from secret-telling soft to full-throat booming, sometimes in the same sentence, his thoughts scrolling out of his mouth like a news ticker. He speaks in clauses and asides, which take him on tangents neither he nor the listener expected.
As international bestselling author Chris Cleave puts it, "He's in a state of permanent electrification."
As the adult book buyer for Schwartz, Goldin met John Mesjak, a sales rep at Abraham Associates, which sells about 10,000 titles a year from some 30 publishers to independent bookstores across the Midwest. He's been selling to Goldin for 13 years, and Goldin, he says, has a "mania for selling books. Every bookstore owner that I've ever sold to has a certain madness. They have to want to go into this climate, and he fully embodies that."
In March 2009, Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers sat atop The New York Times bestsellers list, National Book Award-winner Joyce Carol Oates had just published her 23rd short story collection titled Dear Husband, Amazon's Kindle e-reader had been on the market for about a year and a half, and, in six months, Barnes & Noble would announce its own e-reader, the Nook. There might have been excitement nationally, but in Milwaukee, there was both literary and literal grief. On March 31, 2009, after 72 years of selling books, the remaining four Schwartz Bookshops closed for good. But only three days later, on April 3, Goldin opened Boswell. He'd bought the lowest-volume store from the Schwartz family and made the 8,000-square-foot space his own.
He painted to add natural light. He procured shorter bookcases with castors during negotiations. And he started building a staff. He needed a team of booksellers who could "hand-sell," explaining to a customer why a certain book will meet their literary needs, while possessing the skills to keep a small business afloat. He needed someone to handle numbers, to coordinate events, to keep books in stock, to market the store, to maintain the website. Soon, three main people emerged.
Five months after opening, Goldin hired Stacie Williams, the staffer who introduced Neville fresh off the plane, and a veteran of Schwartz. She handles events, marketing, the creation of posters and bookmarks, and Boswell's social media. She also sells books. For the approximately 250 events Boswell hosts each year, some are held in the store while others head to outside locations – like the Sherman Alexie book reading in November 2012, which drew a record crowd of 650 to the Milwaukee Public Library's Centennial Hall.
Williams, who describes her preference in fiction as "dark and twisty" and has been known to read passages of books to customers to convince them to buy, can still remember the first time she encountered Goldin. He was the adult buyer for Schwartz, and part of his job was to send early versions of books to individual booksellers, based on what he thought were their tastes. The booksellers would read the books and recommend whether the store should take additional copies to sell.
"He had a really hard time figuring out what to send me because my reading taste is kind of across the board," she says, "so he would send me just the weirdest things. But I also was amazed that this was part of his job, to try to ferret out the readers for potential books."
Today, she says, "He can almost always nail it."
Amie Mechler-Hickson has also known Goldin for quite some time – about 20 years. She previously worked at three Schwartz locations and is now one of the "core" people on the Boswell team. She's the children's books and calendar buyer, and also does the bookkeeping.
Rounding out the team is Jason Kennedy, whom Goldin only half-jokingly calls his protégé and also came to Boswell from Schwartz. He started working at Schwartz's Downer location in 2003 when Goldin was still Schwartz's adult book buyer and "would actively try to get booksellers involved in what's working," Kennedy says.
Now at Boswell 10 years later, wearing the adult book buyer's hat like Goldin once did, Kennedy is glad he made the move to Boswell. But he's quick to note that if anyone else had opened a new store after Schwartz, he wouldn't have tagged along. Boswell, he says, "was a very worthy goal."
If his staffers have one complaint about their boss, Kennedy says, it's his reluctance to celebrate the store's successes. "I don't know if he ever gets to the point where he's feeling successful, but I think internally, he probably does a little happy dance," Kennedy says.
"Amie and I are there to ground him occasionally and say, 'You know, this is great, and let's celebrate.'"

Peyton Manning has unfinished business in postseason
BY Lindsay H. Jones USA Today January 11, 2014 5:49PM
For all his eye-catching statistics, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is only 9-11 in his career in the playoffs. | AP
Updated: February 13, 2014 6:37AM
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — It always has been easy to link Peyton Manning's career to statistics. This year, especially.
For all the touchdown passes (56) and passing yards (5,477) he collected, and for all the points the Denver Broncos scored (606) — each of those numbers an NFL record — there's another mark that overshadows all others.
Manning's postseason record in 14 seasons is 9-11. That includes eight losses in which his team failed to advance beyond their first playoff game.
As Manning prepares to lead the Broncos into their AFC divisional playoff game against the San Diego Chargers, his winning-time failures can't be ignored.
Despite Manning's cognizance of his NFL history, he was adamant that his past means little now.
"I know it's easy to summarize — to take a whole bunch of football seasons and lump them together. I don't personally believe in that theory," Manning said. "Each season takes on its own identity, and different things occurred along the way at different points in my career. In anybody's career. This is the 2013 season, and it's its own chapter. We're looking forward to writing it for a number of more weeks."
This is the week the Broncos have been waiting for since their 38-35 double-overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round a year ago. His success over 16 regular-season games in 2013 was exciting, Manning said. But the Broncos have not hid the way they have used last season's playoff disappointment as motivation.
It came up during weightlifting and conditioning sessions in April, and in training-camp practices in August, and in countless practices throughout the regular season.
"Last year we went on a little run there, and I don't know if we got comfortable, but we didn't finish," receiver Eric Decker said. "We were hungry this year as far as coming into the offseason, coming into training camp, making sure that when we play, we finish everything."
As Manning stood in front of a large group of reporters, still wearing his shoulder pads and orange practice jersey, there was no sign of a player who has tightened up since the calendar flipped to January. Manning cracked a few jokes and said he is determined to enjoy everything about this trip.
"If it's just miserable this whole time, then why are you doing it?" Manning said. "Maybe as you get older you think more along the lines of, this is a unique opportunity, to be in this position, to be one of just a few teams playing."

I was 8 years old when I started Tae Kwon-Do (TAGB). It was my uncle Alan who wanted me to start learning so I was able to protect myself. There was a new class starting in Tiverton, Devon and my parents thought it would be better if I went to the first session as would meet the other members and have joined at the start of the group.
The starting lesson of the new class was arranged for 31st October, so naturally was quite upset at the time as couldn't go "trick or treating" but was still excited to meet everyone and join the club. When we got there as a surprise Dad was going to start the classes with me so we could practice together and he could help me with things I wasn't good at when we got home so I could do it by the time the next class was.
The instructor came over to take our details, and when he asked for my name, he stopped, looked up from his clip board with a surprised look on his face! "Hannah" means "number one" in Korean! Tae Kwon Do originates from South Korea, and as part of the classes we had to learn Korean terms so got off to a very good start!
I did all of my gradings but certainly had my ups and downs, although it worked really well because when dad wanted to give up, I encouraged him and visa versa. We eventually were ready to take our black belt grading. I was now 13 years old and very nervous.
We went up to the Tae Kwon Do TAGB headquarters in Bristol and to say I was nervous was a massive understatement! We had to wait for a while because they do the gradings in sets of 6 – 10 students at a time, split into different age and weight groups. My grading was before Dads, and no one was allowed to watch when we were called up to go into the Dojang.
The grading went well despite getting kicked in the face by the boy who I was paired against for 1 step sparring – something to demonstrate we are 100% accurate with our distance perception and are NOT supposed to touch our opponent however demonstrate moves on them finishing 1cm away from the target. He caught my nose which made my eyes water but I carried on – after my instructor told me that the examiners had noted this and were very proud that I stayed on and continued with the grading.
I am now 20 and not only does it feel cool to know that I am a black belt, but it has even helped me get jobs by showing my determination to achieve goals set by myself, it shows I have learnt discipline and respect for myslf and others – I would DEFINITELY recommend learning a martial art, it keeps you healthy, lets you meet lots of amazing people, and you can choose how much you train and how quickly you decide to grade and even take part in competitions!
I actually started teaching 4-7 year olds and then moved on to helping the senior class out and even helped train people for their black belt grading too! Such a rewarding fantastic sport to do!!!

An opinion poll finds that most Illinoisans don't want more casinos to help increase state revenues and many are indifferent about the existing gambling venues.
The Copley News Service poll asked 625 registered voters whether they supported increasing the number of casinos or gambling positions at existing riverboats to pump more money into the state.
About half of the respondents opposed the increase, and about half also opposed legalizing video poker or placing slot machines at horse-racing tracks to increase state revenues.
Sixteen percent of those asked said legalized gambling had a positive effect on the quality of life. About 39 percent said it was negative, 38 percent believed it had no effect and seven percent weren't sure.
The survey was conducted March 8 through March 10 and had an error margin of four percentage points.

Investigators: Foul play possible in Erica Parsons case
Updated On: Sep 14 2013 12:37:43 PM EDT
For weeks, posters and leaflets with Erica Lynn Parsons' face have been distributed in the central North Carolina community of Salisbury and beyond.
At candlelight vigils, organizers have begged anyone with information about the 15-year-old girl's whereabouts to come forward.
But no one in the community knows for sure how long Erica has been missing. When her 20-year-old brother first went to police on July 30, he said she actually had disappeared a year and a half before that.
Investigators say Erica's adoptive parents have been uncooperative about her disappearance and they have started to uncover disturbing signs of possible foul play.

This was my first Robyn show and first time in the city of Detroit. I arrived very early and sure enough Robyn was standing outside the venue meeting with fans so I hustled in.
She did many songs from the Body Talk 1 CD. The show was very simple in set up but her span of great work and some phenomenal dancing held the crowds attention.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Conservative Union (ACU) today announced its first annual ACU Ratings of the Minnesota State Legislature, honoring the North Star State's true conservatives. The nation's oldest and largest grassroots conservative organization began a new initiative to expand the highly touted ACU Congressional Ratings program to state legislatures, grading members on their votes on key conservative issues. The Minnesota 2013 State Legislative Ratings guide is now available online at conservative.org.
"On behalf of the American Conservative Union, I am pleased to announce the winners of our 2013 State Legislative Ratings for members of the Minnesota State Legislature," said ACU Chairman Al Cardenas. "For 42 years ACU has set the gold standard for Congressional ratings, and we are now able to offer that same level of transparent information to the voters of Minnesota so they can hold their elected officials accountable at the state level as well. In our second year rating the North Star State, we applaud conservatives in the Minnesota State Legislature, who continue to take a stand against Obamacare and continue to fight for education reform, Second Amendment rights, and lower taxes."
In 2011, the American Conservative Union launched a new initiative to bring its annual Ratings of Congress – considered the gold standard of conservative voter education guides – to the state level, issuing inaugural ratings of state legislators in five battleground states: Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. Last year, ACU graded state legislators in 15 critical states and this year they are expanding their ratings to 20 states. The ACU Ratings of the Minnesota State Legislature will include scores for each individual member in both the State Senate and House of Representatives, a description of the votes scored and lists of members receiving special recognition as "Defenders of Liberty," "ACU Conservatives," or "True Liberals of the North Star State."
The ACU tracks a wide range of issues before state legislatures to determine which issues and votes serve as a clear litmus test separating those representatives who defend liberty and liberal members who have turned their backs on our founding principles – constitutionally limited government, individual liberty, free markets, a strong national defense and traditional values. The votes selected for Minnesota Legislative Ratings were chosen to create a clear ideological distinction among those casting them.
ACU today recognized the winners of the "Defender of Liberty" award, given to those members of the Minnesota State Legislature who were present and cast a vote for each adjudicated roll call and scored 100 percent on the 2013 State Legislative Ratings. In the House of Representatives, the recipients are Tony Albright, Mark Anderson, Paul Anderson, Sarah Anderson, Michael Beard, Mike Benson, Kurt Daudt, Matt Dean, Bob Dettmer, Steve Drazkowski, Sondra Erickson, Dan Fabian, Mary Franson, Steve Green, Glenn Gruenhagen, Tom Hackbarth, Jerry Hertaus, Mary Liz Holberg, Joe Hoppe, Brian Johnson, Ernie Leidiger, Kathy Lohmer, Pam Myhra, Jim Newberger, Bud Nornes, Tim O'Driscoll, Joyce Peppin, John Petersburg, Cindy Pugh, Duane Quam, Linda Runbeck, Peggy Scott, Chris Swedzinski, and Anna Wills. In the State Senate, the recipients are Bruce Anderson, Michelle Benson, David Brown, Roger Chamberlain, Michelle Fischbach, Paul Gazelka, Dan Hall, David Hann, Karin Housley, Bill Ingebrigtsen, Mary Kiffmeyer, Warren Limmer, Scott Newman, Sean Nienow, Julianne Ortman, David Osmek, Eric Pratt, David Sanjem, and Dave Thompson.
The winners of the "ACU Conservative" award – given to those members who scored 80 percent or higher – in the House of Representatives are Bob Barrett, Tony Cornish, Greg Davids, David FitzSimmons, Pat Garofalo, Bob Gunther, Jeff Howe, Tim Kelly, Andrea Kieffer, Debra Kiel, Ron Kresha, Jennifer Loon, Tara Mack, Joe McDonald, Denny McNamara, Marion O'Neil, Tim Sanders, Joe Schomacker, Tama Theis, Paul Torkelson, Mark Uglem, Dean Urdahl, Kelby Woodard, Kurt Zellers, and Nick Zerwas. In the State Senate, the recipients are Gary Dahms, Jeremy Miller, John Pederson, Branden Petersen, Julie Rosen, Carrie Ruud, and Bill Weber.
The members who scored an atrocious "zero" on the ratings, earning "True Liberals of the North Star State" awards, are – in the House of Representatives – Tom Anzelc, Joe Atkins, John Benson, Connie Bernardy, Lyndon Carlson, Sr., Raymond Dehn, Andrew Falk, Mike Freiberg, Alice Hausman, Debra Hilstrom, Frank Hornstein, Melissa Hortman, Clark Johnson, Sheldon Johnson, Phyllis Kahn, Carolyn Laine, Ann Lenczewski, John Lesch, Carlos Mariani, Carly Melin, Will Morgan, Michael Paymar, John Persell, Joe Radinovich, Steve Simon, Erik Simonson, Linda Slocum, Mike Sundin, and Paul Thissen. The true liberals in the State Senate are Thomas Bakk, Jim Carlson, Bobby Joe Champion, Richard Cohen, D. Scott Dibble, Kari Dziedzic, Chris Eaton, Kent Eken, Barb Goodwin, Foung Hawj, Jeff Hayden, Alice Johnson, Tony Lourey, John Marty, James Metzen, Sandra Pappas, Roger Reinert, Tom Saxhaug, Matt Schmit, Kathy Sheran, Katie Sieben, Rod Skoe, David Tomassoni, Patricia Torres Ray, Charles Wiger, and Melissa Wiklund.
For more information on the American Conservative Union or to download the full Minnesota 2013 State Legislative Ratings Guide, please click here or visit our website at conservative.org
Founded in 1964, the ACU represents the views of Americans who are concerned with economic growth through lower taxes and reduced government spending and the issues of liberty, personal responsibility, traditional values and national security. ACU first began rating members of Congress on key conservative voting issues in 1971, and since then their ratings system has become the most important conservative measuring stick in American politics. ###

{How Much Should My Business Be Spending on Marketing and Advertising?}
Insights from CMDS President Chris Mulvaney / The Looking Glass Posted by admin / 0 comments
Choosing what you should invest annually on marketing and advertising There are some fairly simple ways to decide what you should spend on marketing.

STAUNTON, Va. (AP) - A former Mary Baldwin College assistant psychology professor serving probation for possession of child pornography is facing a new charge.
The News Leader ( http://bit.ly/MrNHmH) reports 44-year-old Chadwick Carter Blackwell of Woodstock was charged last month with one count of child porn possession.
Blackwell was three weeks away from finishing three years of probation for a 2009 case in which he entered Alford pleas in Staunton to four counts.
Blackwell resigned from Mary Baldwin in July 2008 after a student reported seeing child porn images on his college computer.

Teachscape is expanding the capabilities of its professional learning community for teachers, Teachscape Reflect Video.
Reflect Video is an online service and collaboration portal that allows K-12 educators to capture and upload videos of their classroom teaching sessions to review their own effectiveness and, where appropriate, share the videos with colleagues and coaches, both for observation and for sharing best practices. The Web-based tool includes video management and analysis functions and allows teachers to upload artifacts along with their videos to serve as a sort of professional portfolio, and it includes collaboration tools for commenting on videos and sharing resources. Reporting tools are also included to allow administrators to track teachers' progress using various criteria, including participation, usage, and comments.
Previously the services limited the types of devices that could be used to capture videos and upload them to the system. With the new update, users can now employ "most video-recording devices" to capture their classroom activities. The update also adds a clipping feature to let teachers save specific portions of a recorded classroom session.
Aside from the update to Reflect Video, Teachscape has also launched a new classroom recording bundle called the Mini Camera Kit. The kit incorporates a wide-angle lens that attaches to an iPod touch, along with a tabletop tripod and a condenser mic.
Additional details can be found on the Teachscape Reflect Video site.

Chvrches + The Range + Hunters
Various venues
Until Sun Jun 15
- Free
Photograph: Eliot Hazel
Time Out says
Posted: Wed Jun 5 2013
Northside Festival. It's easy to see why Chvrches emerged as one of the most heavily hyped bands of 2013. The coed Scottish trio's swooning, Prince-meets–Kate Bush synth pop, captured on exquisite singles such as "The Mother We Share," is an irresistible sonic confection. Chvrches ascended the pop ranks in a flash, even opening for heroes Depeche Mode last summer; here, the group returns for a free-with-R.S.V.P. show after a sold-out three-night run at Terminal 5 earlier this year. Bratty garage outfit Hunters and electronic producer the Range (a.k.a. James Hinton) open.

Do you think little things are silly
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 02-01-2011 - 8:28am
Hi there,
Just a little survey for myself.
|Tue, 02-01-2011 - 10:22am
I think the little things are at least as important as the grander gestures and events. Those are the things you notice every day and help recharge your relationship.
Have you ever read "The Five Love Languages"? I haven't read it but I've had it on my wish list for years. My friends who have read it said it really helped them in their relationships because we each give and receive love in different ways and if we know how to interpret those gestures and know what our partner prefers, we can make each other even happier.
|Tue, 02-01-2011 - 11:49am
|Tue, 02-01-2011 - 9:23pm
When couples don't engage in these daily romantic gestures, they tend to become emotionally disconnected from each other over time. So in my opinion, daily romantic and sometimes funny connections are vital. When my fiance calls me during the day, I'll always answer the phone with "Hey cutestuff", or "There's my sexy gorgeous hunk of man." etc. We hold hands as we fall asleep. He rubs my back sometimes. Sometimes I rub his feet. We buy each other stuff at the grocery store that we know the other is running out of. It's an effort that's fun and rewarding.
|Thu, 02-03-2011 - 5:19am
The little things ARE the big things for us. I love when he remembers to bring me home People Magazine just by chance, or when I bring him home tea from the coffee shop on the corner. I am addicted to hugs. We do this little thing every night where I say "Cover up me"-- something our niece said at about 3, and he will take the whole comforter and drop it on me, including my head. I laugh like a little girl EVERY single night. During arguements, it's the little things that keep them from escalating. I read somewhere that if you touch at all, it helps, so I always sit down calmly as quickly as I can and grab his hand so we can talk about what we're unhappy about.

The OTOC Environmental Sustainability Team formed early this year upon learning that the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) planned to continue burning coal in North Omaha and retreat from the use of renewable energy sources (including wind and solar). They presented 4 key demands to the OPPD Board leading them to revise their plans to end coal burning in North Omaha by 2016 and maintain a minimum use of 32% of renewable sources.
Pictured below is the team of OTOC leaders that pushed the Board to revise its energy plan. Articles below quote OTOC leader Laurie Gift and OTOC ally Rev. Eric Elnes.

This is a huge environmental victory as well as a potential dedicated funding source for the youth conservation corps that PATH creating with the county! PATH worked closely with a coalition of environmental groups and the County Executive to help pass this bill in Annapolis, and turned out dozens and dozens of people to hearings, a rally, and small group meetings with legislators.

The Interfaith Community Organization (now the Jersey City chapter of New Jersey Together) launched its campaign to rid Jersey City of toxic chromium wastes more than 20 years ago. In the spring of 2011, it won another large-scale cleanup -- much like the landmark legal victory which forced Honeywell to carry out a $400 million cleanup. PPG Industries will remove 600,000 tons of cancer-causing industrial wastes that it left behind in a densely populated neighborhood when it closed its local manufacturing operation a half century ago. PPG settled a lawsuit brought by ICO and our environmental ally, the Natural Resources Defense Council.
