The JET Alumni Association of Southern California is an organization composed of former JET Program participants and people who have shown a vital interest in the JET Program. It was established to promote mutual understanding and international exchanges between Japan and the United States through the members' experiences of living, working and carrying out local activities in Japan and to promote fellowship among JET Programme alumni.
Although we call ourselves JETAA of Southern California, our formal area of responsibility covers the Southwestern US, including Arizona.
JETAASC not only supports the Consulate in JET related activities including recruitment, candidate selection, and orientation, but also organizes activities that provide JET alumni with opportunities for entertainment, friendship and employment.
It's that time again! Pre Departure 2014 will take place June 21 (Saturday) at the Four Points LAX 11:30am-6:00pm; reception 7:00pm-9:00pm. Alumni are encourgaed to attend. The Japan Consulate are now looking for talented JET Alumni to make presentations on various topics. If you are interested, please reply to Keri DiYorio for details. 宜しくお願いいたします!
By Audrey Shiomi,
Once you're a JET, you're always a JET. That's what I've come to realize these past few months. Along with the rest of the world on March 11, I sat in front of my TV, watching the horrible scene of houses being swept away by the tsunami and feeling utterly helpless. But unlike most, I was a JET, so I knew there were ways to help aside from donating money to the Red Cross.
Within days, JETs old and new were seeking each other out on Facebook, starting networks, and brainstorming ideas to help the Tohoku region. Worried parents began contacting our network in search of missing JETs, so we collectively scoured Google's Person Finder for information. I personally offered to interpret for anyone wanting to contact people in the Tohoku region. Another JET friend took to Twitter to send out "Looking for…" messages in Japanese.
Months later, my local JETAA chapter here in Southern California participated in the Socks for Japan drive for those evacuees who had so little time to grab enough clothing before the tsunami hit. Our chapter contributed to a worldwide collection of 175,115 pairs of socks, and counting.
More recently, I heard about an opportunity by Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to return to my host institution in Sendai and help promote the city. Japan's tourism industry was hit hard by the March 11 disaster, and it compelled the government to take unconventional measures—offering free tickets to Japan—to help bring tourists back. So in September, I flew to Sendai City, met up with friends, traveled to East Matsushima to survey the devastation, and then went home to write articles and blogs about it in the local paper. (You can find some of them on rafu.com. Just keyword search "Audrey Shiomi.")
It didn't end there: While I was in Sendai, workers at my former office told me about an event to be held at its Sister City—Riverside, California—in the coming weeks. They were planning to promote Sendai with a cultural booth and needed a few bamboo trees for their display. (Sendai is famous for its Tanabata Festival where people decorate bamboo branches with messages written on strips of colored paper.) They had no idea where to buy bamboo in the U.S., so I offered to contact my neighborhood Japanese nursery and personally deliver them to Riverside. They were extremely grateful that I'd take time to help on such short notice. For me, it was a no-brainer; it was my way of giving back.
I thought my JET career ended when I left Sendai City. Ten years later, they're calling me back. In fact, they're calling all of us back. Just think, Japan experienced one of the worst disasters in modern history that took a tremendous toll on their economy. How could they not need our help?
During our time as JETs, we made friends, traveled Japan, studied the culture, experienced how the Japanese people work; some of us even picked up the language. Now is our chance to continue our ambassadorial duties back home. Here are some suggestions for doing so:
1) Join a Japanese prefecture association in here in Southern California.
Prefecture associations, aka, kenjinkai, won't be around much longer if younger generations don't help revive them. Most were founded over 100 years ago by first-generation Japanese Americans, but the remaining Nisei members are well into their 70s (if not 80s) and most of their children and grandchildren are not active participants. Many of the organizations stay in solid communication with their prefectures, so there's much that could be done—homestays, school visits, cultural exchanges, etc.—if people were willing to put in the effort to plan. The organization I'm a member of, Hiroken, is to taking a group of first-time Japan visitors to Hiroshima next year. It'll be our inaugural trip and I'm both excited and nervous. Contact me if you'd like to help us.
2) Become an active member of JETAA.
We could always use the help promoting the JET Programme.
3) Stay in contact with your coworkers/BOE representative in Japan.
Government workers get shuffled every few years, so the next time you visit your old office don't expect to see any familiar faces. Yes, it's a sad thought, but you never know when you'll need their help. When MOFA announced the Tohoku trip, they required us to directly contact our host institutions for approval. Luckily, a good friend still worked at my old office and put in a good word for me.
4) Contact your host city's Sister City association in the U.S.
Many cities throughout Japan actively engage in Sister City/Friendship City activities via official delegations, international conferences, exchange visits, and more. Volunteers are integral in helping to make things run smoothly. Even if your host city doesn't have a Sister City in Southern California, you can try contacting other Sister Cities linked to Japan. Here are a few: Mito/Anaheim, Ota/Burbank, Kaizuka/Culver City, Ichikawa/Gardena, Tsukuba/Irvine, Fujinomiya/Santa Monica, Mishima/Pasadena, Okazaki/Newport Beach.
5) Continue studying Japanese.
It especially comes in handy when ordering sushi, so keep on studying whether it be through community college, Meetup groups, language exchange partners found on vivinavi.com, or by Skyping above mentioned coworkers from time to time. The Japan Foundation will be holding language classes in downtown LA starting in January. Check their site for details: www.jflalc.org

March 26, 2010The Harimaya BridgeWritten & Directed by Aaron WoolfolkStarring Ben Guillory, Danny Glover, Saki Takaoka and Misa Shimizu
The JET Alumni Association of Southern California is proud to announce that fellow Alum Aaron Woolfolk's film, The Harimaya Bridge, will be shown at the Laemmle Music Hall 3.
The movie synopsis, in Aaron's own words:"I am writing to you about my feature film THE HARIMAYA BRIDGE. For those of you who might not know, the movie is a drama about an American man who, after the sudden death of his estranged son in rural Japan, must go there to claim some important family items. While there, he discovers some secrets his son left behind. The movie was filmed primarily in Kochi Prefecture, and was inspired by my experience as a JET in Kochi and my enduring relationship with Japan since then. In fact, one of the central characters in the movie is a JET. The film had a nationwide theatrical release in Japan last summer, and it was met by a lot of enthusiasm from both JETs currently serving on the program and alumni still living there (which made me very happy!). I traveled all over Japan to promote the film, and I met a LOT of us. In fact, I was tickled by how the JETs there started referring to THE HARIMAYA BRIDGE as "The JET movie."
In honor of the upcoming release of former JET Aaron Woolfolk's Harimaya Bridge, JETAASC is planning an event to watch the film on opening night, March 26th. Please join us in support of Aaron and his film.Date: Friday, March 26thTime: 8:15 pmLocation:Laemmle's Music Hall 39036 Wilshire Blvd.Beverly Hills, 90211310-478-3836

We all faced painful ethical challenges before we even knew how to spell our names. There were tough choices. Tradeoffs. Confusing signals regarding how to live one's life. And here we are now, today, still struggling. Still trying to sort things out. Still trying to work our way through life effectively. About the only thing that has changed is the scope of the problem. There's more at stake now. And we're in a position, as grownups, to do a lot more-good or bad-for ourselves, our organization, our world. But we still must wrestle with our imperfect ethics.Price Pritchett

Graduation day is tough for adults. They go to the ceremony as parents. They come home as contemporaries. After twenty-two years of child-raising, they are unemployed.Erma Bombeck
I have to chuckle sometimes when I am painted as "hard-nosed." In truth, our Justice Department wasn't nearly as aggressive as Roosevelt's. And our respect for civil liberties was far more extensive than the response following Pearl Harbor. Yes, we were tough, but we always operated within the law; it was never our policy or practice to detain any noncombatant without charges. In our conduct, we never approached the limits of the law as closely as Roosevelt did.John David Ashcroft
My view is that you don't just talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies, as well. And the diplomacy involves talking to your enemies. You don't reward your enemies necessarily, by talking to them if you're tough and you know what you're doing. You don't appease them. Talking to an enemy is not, in my view, appeasement. I made 15 trips to Syria in 1990-1991 at a time when Syria was on the list of countries who are state sponsors of terrorism. And the 16th trip, guess what? Lo and behold, Syria changed 25 years of policy and agreed for the first time in history to come sit at the table with Israel, which is what Israel wanted at the time. And, thereby, implicitly recognized Israel's right to exist. Now, all I'm saying is that would never have happened if we hadn't been sufficiently dedicated that we were going to keep at it.James Addison Baker, III
No man worth his salt, no man of spirit and spine, no man for whom I could have any respect, could rejoice in the identification of Tallulah's husband. It's tough enough to be bogged down in a legend. It would be even tougher to marry one.Tallulah Brockman Bankhead
I wouldn't be surprised if in our lifetime dogs and firehoses are released or opened on us. I wouldn't be surprised if a few of us get a billy club to the head. I wouldn't be surprised if, you know, some of us go to jail just like Martin Luther King did on trumped up charges. Tough times are coming.Glenn Beck
Ive been described as a tough and noisy woman, a prize fighter, a man-hater, you name it. They call me Battling Bella, Mother Courage, and a Jewish mother with more complaints than Portnoy. There are those who say Im impatient, impetuous, uppity, rude, profane, brash, and overbearing. Whether Im any of those things, or all of them, you can decide for yourself. But whatever I am and this ought to be made very clearI am a very serious woman.Bella Abzug

Growth of Orthodoxy
Post: #6
This interesting conversation abuts onto one in another thread where we are looking at another view of Orthodoxy.
Fr. Gregory challenges us here:
Quote:The Orthodox Churches in the West are all too often primarily ethnic culture preservation societies and far too rarely centres of evangelization of the Orthodox Faith. I am strongly in favour of the maintenance of culture ? but not at the expense of the Faith.and reminds us why the BOC exists.
It is, perhaps natural that we should attract those from an Anglican background who miss the old BCP and the dignified an solemn language of Cranmer, but we might remind ourselves that the 39 articles are pretty Protestant (unless you are a latter-day Newman trying to make them catholic) and treat the eucharist as purely symbolic. And it is here orthodoxy is our staff, for it is what it says; in that sense it is as English as it is whatever nationality you want, for the Good News was, as Fr. Gregory reminds us, delivered to all in their own tongue.
What matters is the content and the spirituality, and one cannot properly access those through a dead language - as the RCC recognised at Vatican II.
Of course the BOC is very fortunate, as in the St. James Liturgy we have something even more beautiful than Cranmer (OK, I'm biased, but I do love Cranmer too). But there remains a great many sheep outside the OC fold, and as Fr. G. reminds us, more escape every year.
In Christ,
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)

Today my coworker told me that the print on my dress looked like the Joy Division album cover.
I said "Cool!", scrunchy forehead, then came home and wiki-googled it. Damn she's good.
The album cover was created by English graphic designer/art director Peter Saville who has also worked with fashion designers such as Jil Sander, Christian Dior, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, and Givenchy.
Fashion designer meets graphic designer equals design destiny.
Fashion designer meets graphic designer equals design destiny.
I thrifted this wrap dress by Margarita Saplala for $1.99 after racking up enough points at Goodwill to get a $10 rebate. That's a $1 for every point, 100 points gets a rebate, you do the math.
The dress is 100% silk with a built in mesh slip. The colorful electric pattern gives it daytime sass but the black background makes it easy to transition for night. I layered on my thrifted vintage cherry red blazer labeled "Marce original" to class it up for work. The blazer fits snuggly at the waist and gives a peplum effect. Judy prefers the mesh-slip-only look. Go figure.
|100% Thrifted Silk Dress and Thirfted Vintage Blazer
While I do enjoy a classy outfit, I care less about dressing sensible for work and more about distracting myself with overly stimulating tactile ensembles.
I'm fairly proud of this necklace I crafted with a thrifted gold chain (that originally came with a horrible pendant) and a thrifted large pink quartz pendant. Not much intricate skill involved but yes, I'll still refer to it as crafting. The weight of the quartz keeps the chain from looking too delicate and the weave of the chain makes it seem fancier than a $5 project. To this I say...BAM!
I thrifted the bubble-gum pink heart shaped rabbit fur purse on a thrifting-roadtrip at a Salvation Army in Wisconsin. I'm obssesed. How random? How wonderful? It was love at first sight. Paired with my thrifted bordeaux rabbit fur jacket it's a dash personal style and a wee bit of The Beckerman Sisters....specifically Callianne in this post with a twist of Samantha here. The best part? It's 100% thrifted!

I just read a post from a friend about going to see "Oklahoma!" the musical.
Going to see Oklahoma! with my family was possibly the highlight of every summer in Elementary School. My dream was to grow up and play Ado Annie at Discoveryland in Sand Springs, OK. It never occurred to me at the time that Ado Annie was the "floozy" of the musical...I just knew she got lots of laughs from the audience...got to kiss a cute boy... and sang a lot of fun songs! (One of which I loved to sing along with was titled "I'm Just a Girl Who Can't Say No." It strikes me now that's pretty hysterical when sung by a nine year old.)
I had a cassette tape with the songs from the musical and had every one of them memorized. I feel sorry for the people who had to sit around me during the show.
In fourth grade, I convinced a cute boy in my class to play the part of Will Parker and sing the duet "All Er' Nothin" with me in our city's Hometown Talent Show and again in our school talent show. I must have had incredible nerve and powers of persuasion back then. It wasn't too long after fourth grade that cute boys began to terribly intimidate me. (I got over it a few short years later!)
I can't remember exactly how old I was when I moved on from my dream of playing Ado Annie when I grew up....but it was a dream steadfastly held until at least Jr. High.
So....what did you want to be when you grew up?
That is too funny Starr. I totally wanted to be a Wal-Mart clerk when I grew up. I remember when those scanner things came out and I thought that had to be the coolest thing ever to stand there and scan products and push buttons on the cash register. I even begged my parents buy me a pretend cash register - I don't remember how old I was, but I remember I was WAY to old to have a toy like that. Anyway, it is odd that I have never had a job in any kind of retail even to this day. I get my fix nowdays by using the self-check out at Wal-Mart. I am probably the only full grown adult who finds joy in scanning my own groceries. :) By the way, that is funny that your friends liked the Oklahoma production this year. Jeff took Rosie when they were in town (thinking it would be fun for her - being from Seattle and all). He said it was so bad, they were relieved to leave at intermission when it was raining so hard they cancelled. I think he was just remembering the good ole days when it used to be really good - or maybe it was just too early in the summer and they had not had enough rehersals...who knows.
I can't remember wanting to be anything except for a pediatrician. Well, I definitely work with kids, that's for sure. The only difference is that they're all MY KIDS and I don't get paid a six digit figure! Oh, about Oklahoma...we had a great time and it was a good production, but the sound wasn't very consistent and Curly wasn't cast very well. He was good; he just didn't seem very Curly-like!
I want to be Julie Andrews when I grow up. (That's present tense, mind you. I'd still like to be her....so classy. No matter what she says it sounds pretty.)
I always wanted to be married to a pretty girl that wrote about her childhood ambitions on a blog.
Seriously, I always wanted to be a SportsCenter anchor. What a job, reading about sports, and watching them for a living. Just think... you could tell your wife you were doing 'job research' when watching the game. Maybe then she'd take the kids out of the room for your 'research'?
I remember always wanting to be a secretary. I thought it was great how secretaries were so organized and how the person they worked for relied on them for their schedule and to do everything for them. I'm realizing that being a wife is pretty much that way...except all the added benefits!
The only thing I ever remember wanting to be was a Solid Gold Dancer!! As a child I would organize "neighborhood shows" where I would be the dancer out in front, and then I'd have about 3-4 backup dancers. We'd even charge people a dollar to come and see us!! What a dream, eh? It's not too late, is it?
I'm Starr Cliff. A domestically-challenged mom, climbing over mountains of laundry to bring you my stray observations and amusing stories about my kids. (more)

This is my 6yr old pug Sophia. She always watches me being silly because I love to make people smile. So she too decided it was time to make me smile the other day when she picked these fake lips off the floor and let me capture the moment. Dogs are the farthest thing from dumb!! She always knows what to do and when to do it to bring smiles to my mom (whos 87 yrs old) and I. Thank you Sophia we love you babygirl.
Love to "love"

Welcome To Contract Providers
Liberalizing automobile sales is one in every of more than 300 economic reforms the government of President Raul Castro is endeavor as a part of an "updating" of its socialist system. Because it entered into impact initially of October, around 300 persons are lining up each day to register autos, or buy and promote others, and the automobile registration workplace has processed round three,300 buy-promote certificates, state media reported. It made the buying and promoting between individuals versatile. It acknowledges vehicles as property which wasn't acknowledged earlier than," stated a Cuban lawyer ready in a park exterior the car registration office.
There isn't a secret in the Tri States Area that the twice weekly Capital Auto Auction sales are one of the best source for nice deals on used cars at any Philadelphia auto public sale. A whole lot of used automobiles of all kinds are sold at Philadelphia car auctions in two stay/drive auctions and online Philadelphia automotive auctions each week at incredibly lows costs, including scores that are claimed by means of bidding for beneath $ 1,000. In addition to being a fantastic supply for used automotive customers, Capital Auto Auctions Philadelphia sales events are also excellent retailers for used automotive homeowners who are looking to make fast, worthwhile gross sales of their autos.
If you are curious about buying a automotive you'll want to look within the police impound vehicles on sale listings. You'll have to go to such gross sales and touch base with the authorities of the gross sales to make needed inspections that may enable you to find the kind of cars that you would want to buy. Unlike in mainstream automobile dealerships automobiles sold within the impound automobile sales are availed at cut price prices. The nice a part of the sales can also be based mostly in that a number of the automobiles sold in the sales are still in excellent situation.
San Diego impound vehicles on the market is an effective means to amass your very personal dream automobile. Most of those vehicles have been acquired by the police division from individuals who weren't able to complete their loan payments or from people who have committed visitors infractions. Since these automobiles may have been utilized by wrongdoers and even criminals, many people concern that these autos are already of their worst conditions. Nonetheless, you can also discover automobiles which have been used hardly ever and have therefore maintained their very best kind and function. For a great worth you possibly can drive house your personal automotive.
Running automotive donations by means of ICA reduces overhead costs and authorized legal responsibility to its member nonprofits. "With our strategy, the stations are by no means in the line of title," Jones mentioned. "And, by going via the central charity, the money sent to the stations is one hundred pc free and away from fundraising prices. It can be marked down as complete income." In a single example, a "recycler" automotive that fetches $125 in a salvage sale would return $fifty three web to the station; V-DAC would earn a $22 management charge. So now a whole lot of Cubans are taking on the chance to take pleasure in a primary taste of wheeling and dealing in the auto market.
Not many individuals know that there are grand alternatives of buying cars within the profitable San diego impound automobiles on the market auctions. Police impound vehicles gross sales usher in automobiles which were seized by police for varied causes. Some vehicles are the sorts of vehicles that have been abandoned by their owners whereas others are those nabbed within the felony activities. In these sales www additionally, you will find totally different sorts of vehicles, the brand new luxurious models as well as the previous fashions which are additionally included in the sales lists. Full particulars on RM's upcoming Basic Muscle and Fashionable Efficiency event, including function cars, might be posted on-line at www.rmauctions.com
Are you wondering where these low cost automobiles come from? The GSA, the FBI, the native, state and federal governments have hundreds of surplus vehicles in stock. These are forfeited goods, abandoned automobiles or seized cars. Sometimes the government departments buy new autos and promote the older ones for dust low-cost. Of course, all automobiles are maintained effectively by the federal government companies. There may be hardly any risk concerned. However sure, the bidders are advised to ensure the cars meet their necessities earlier than they find yourself purchasing it. Salvage cars San Diego could also be purchased at online auto auction saving thousands on the screen worth and making your cash go additional.
Bills involved in changing a automobile into money can reach 20 % or more of the sale worth, Jones mentioned, but he sees it as a good deal for stations. "The truth is, the cost we would add to the process is nominal compared to the prices of operating a program in-house. It's fairly a bit of work and would strain any charity working with a good employees." But Jones acknowledges that car donation companies haven't been forthcoming about disclosing particulars of the transactions; V-DAC, he said, has tried to change that.
Each firms assess fees based on a automotive's condition, how it is bought and the work needed to arrange it on the market. We just felt there was a bias when it came time to decide on where to send cars," he said. "We felt IAA would choose to send it through their auction homes." Additional choices past auctions embody source selling automobiles to used automobile heaps or other sellers with whom the vendor has a relationship. For in style models with a high resale value, the companies additionally turn to online companies comparable to eBay to fetch a higher sale value. Donations with out overhead
You don't have to buy a wreck. Eliminate the idea that only pieces of twisted junk go to auction. Many 1000's of vehicles, trucks and bikes are written off for insurance coverage every year before going to public sale. Certain, some salvage automobiles San Diego are collision broken but others are in excellent form as a result of they are retired fleet vehicles; or maybe they are written off as a result of ex owners defaulted on funds (these pesky funds once more!) and the vehicles go to auction with no injury no matter. Some have a high mileage if they are fleet service autos or ex rental automobiles, but others are practically new.
And we're having Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion both assist me host this season as a result of the last couple of years, I've lost my voice. Because I've acquired to go straight again to New York and go back into previews for my Broadway show " First Date ", so I can't afford to lose my voice this yr –- that may be very unhealthy. So I went to Nathan and Alan and stated, 'Hey, I can't afford to lose my voice – how would you like to be my voice for a few days?' and so they have been so awesome and on board and so they just have fun. "
There have been 1,200 of the world's greatest automobiles on the Barrett-Jackson Public sale and it is just heaven to attend the event and see it," Phil says. "We actually needed to view all the automobiles on show and see all the other displays which are available on website, ranging from new autos to clothing." Guests can do sizzling laps in a few of at the moment's new muscle vehicles and there are efficiency kings current like Carroll Shelby and Jack Rousch with their vehicles and products on the market. The auction is held in a a hundred,000-sq.-foot tent arrange for 8,000 bidders who pay $500 for the privilege of being "ringside."
If in case you have signed up for at such websites, you get their newsletters. You also have the choice of mentioning your necessities, just like the mannequin, the color and specs. Your search is narrowed to an amazing extent and also you get the data as soon as such a automotive is obtainable. Meanwhile, you possibly automotive can flick through the vehicles on sale at leisure from where ever you might be. Every week later, he took off once more, this time with his brother and father to Scottsdale, Ariz., for the deliberate journey to absorb what is billed because the "world's biggest collector car public sale." It was every thing they had anticipated and more.
When and why can we go to automobile auctions. What's there in these assemblies that attract folk to go and attend them. The primary and most significant cause is, manifestly, cars. It is all about automobile auctions in san diego for salvage vehicles. You do not need to be a keen automobile fan comparable to being involved in vehicle automobile racing to qualify as a automobile public sale attendee. Just driving or purchasing an auto is sufficient cause to be there.

TVA Balancing Portfolio, Reports 2nd Quarter Results
May 4, 2012
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. ― In its second quarter earnings call Friday, the Tennessee Valley Authority outlined how it is continuing its strategy toward more natural gas and nuclear energy as elements of a balanced energy generation mix for the Tennessee Valley.
With TVA board approval of a new estimate to complete the second nuclear unit at Watts Bar and the John Sevier Combined Cycle Gas Plant coming online $30 million under budget and ahead of schedule, TVA is moving ahead with its vision to provide cleaner, low-cost energy.
"John Sevier is the fifth combined cycle gas plant we have built, bought or leased in the past five years, and Watts Bar Unit 2 will add a second, almost identical unit to a current single-unit site. This will improve both the volume and the cost of clean energy from Watts Bar," President and CEO Tom Kilgore said.
"Together, these facilities signal our continuing commitment to cleaner and lower cost generation that will help us achieve our vision goals of low rates, high reliability and responsibility."
Chief Financial Officer John Thomas announced second quarter earnings. Electricity sales declined 5.9 percent for the first half of fiscal year 2012, compared with the same period last year, as the TVA service region continued to experience unseasonably warm weather, TVA said in its quarterly report to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This winter was one of the warmest on record and utilities across the region have reported lower revenue because of reduced heating needs for homes and businesses.
Local power companies served by TVA, whose residential sales are typically more sensitive to temperature changes, purchased 7.4 percent less in the first six months of 2012, compared with the same period last year, while sales to TVA's industrial customers grew 0.4 percent.
"The good news is that power rates are lower for our customers, in part because of lower fuel costs for TVA," Thomas said. "However, with the impact of the milder weather we are now projecting revenues to be 7 percent lower than originally planned for the fiscal year."
Total revenues declined 10.8 percent, or $624 million, to $5.2 billion in the first six months of 2012, compared with the same period last year. The decline was driven primarily by a $386 million decrease in base revenues and a $236 million reduction in fuel cost recovery. Base revenue declined primarily due to the mild weather, which lowered both electricity sales and the average effective rate charged to customers. Under a TVA wholesale rate structure effective since April 2011, weather conditions can lower the effective rate for local power companies by reducing peak demand charges.
"In response to our lower revenue forecast, we are looking for every opportunity for cost savings and greater efficiency, from reprioritizing capital projects to reducing travel," Thomas said. "We will continue to make adjustments in our operations and consider other productivity enhancements throughout the year."
In addition, Thomas said TVA is enhancing its Valley Investment Initiative program, providing incentives to industries to expand, locate or stay in the region and opportunities for future sales growth.
Helping to lower power rates to customers, TVA's fuel expense was $323 million lower in the first six months of 2012 compared with the same period last year. Lower market prices for natural gas and more generation from lower-cost sources, particularly hydroelectric power, contributed to lower expense.
Generation from gas-fired and hydroelectric facilities was 130 percent and 25 percent higher, respectively, in the first six months of 2012, compared with the same period last year to take advantage of low-cost fuel options, while coal-fired generation declined 35 percent.
TVA reported a $267 million net loss in the first six months of 2012, compared with net income of $205 million reported for the first six months of last year.

FORT DRUM, N.Y. -- Kansas, Kuwait and Iraq are just some of the places this 48-star flag has flown in honor of Private First Class Joseph A'Hearn, who was killed in the battle of Iwo Jima in 1945.
Wednesday evening, the flag was flown over the 10th Mountain Division Headquarters on Fort Drum and presented to his grandson, Lieutenant Colonel Chris Moretti.
Moretti say he's been flying the flag on the anniversary of his grandfather's death since February of 2004.
"We reflect upon his service and over the years, we have expanded that on not just his service, but all of the veterans that come before us and just to recognize that we will never forget the ultimate sacrifice that they paid for our freedom," Moretti said.
Lieutenant Colonel Moretti says in the future, he hopes to pass on the flag to his son so he can continue to honor those who served our country.

United Nations Foundation, Shell, Tribal Brands To Join With Artists In The Entertainment Industry To Celebrate The Global Launch Of MPowering Action
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the United Nations Foundation, Royal Dutch Shell plc, Tribal Brands, Inc. and members of the entertainment industry will unite to celebrate the launch of mPowering Action, a first-of-its-kind worldwide movement and mobile platform designed to inspire, empower and motivate a generation of global citizens to take positive action in their communities, for their families and for themselves. Co-hosted by actress / UN Youth and Girl Up champion, Monique Coleman, mPowering Action will be launched at a star-studded event during Grammy Week in Los Angeles, and will feature a special appearance by super-producer Timbaland, the platform's first Producer-In-Residence, who alongside Agnes Monica will make the U.S. debut of the first song in support of the initiative. The event will also feature a performance by two-time Grammy-nominated DJ / producer Avicii, whose House for Hunger initiative is currently supporting The FEED Foundation. More than 600 global youth leaders, from 15 nations, alongside representatives from organizations like Girl Up, Model UN, the Always Believing Foundation and the UN Global Youth Forum, will share their stories and highlight key issues in their countries and how collective action can provide a stimulus for global, social and environmental change.
Today, people under 25 make up 43 percent of the world's population – in some countries, that number is as high as 60 percent. This amounts to nearly 4 billion young people living on the brink of the greatest technological advances and human progress while also surrounded by intractable public health epidemics, record jobless rates, outdated education systems and historic pressures on the planet's resources. This generation of millennials is social media savvy and eager to help create real-world change, and for the first time in history, technology has the ability to facilitate change in the palm of their hands.

Reset Procedure
Remove the AAA batteries and unplug the rechargeable battery. Let the radio sit for 30 minutes, then put them back in. To play it from the AAAs press BATT first, then POWER. To play if from the rechargeable, press DYN/SOL, then turn the crank for 90 seconds, then press POWER. If it doesn't play on the AAA batteries, they may need to be changed.
Playing the FR360
First you have to let the radio know what power source you wish it to use. To use the AAA batteries, press and release BATT. To use the rechargeable battery, press and release DYN/SOL. It should play for 5 to 6 hours on AAA batteries, at low volume. It should play for 5 minutes, at low volume, after cranking for 90 seconds on rechargeable batteries. To solar charge the rechargeable battery, press and release DYN/SOL and put the radio outside, into direct sunlight for 8 hours, after which it should play for about 4 to 5 hours, at low volume. Playing it at a higher volume will always reduce the play time. If it doesn't work, do a RESET, as described above.
To play it from the AAAs press and release BATT first, then POWER; it should play for about 4 to 5 hours, at low volume. If it only plays for a few minutes after pressing BATT, then it's time to change your AAA batteries.
To play if from the rechargeable, first press DYN/SOL, then turn the crank for 90 seconds, then press and release POWER; it should play for about 5 minutes, at low volume.
To solar charge the rechargeable battery, press DYN/SOL, place the radio into direct sunlight (not through a window, screen, in artificial light or shade) for 8 to 10 hours and then press POWER, after which it should play for about 4 to 5 hours, at low volume.To play from the optional AC adapter without charging the rechargeable battery press BATT and then POWER.
To charge the rechargeable battery with the optional AC adapter, plug in the AC adapter, press DYN/SOL and let it charge for 8 hours. The radio can be played while charging. To play it, press DYN/SOL and then POWER. An AC adapter can be purchased for $10+shipping by calling 1-800-793-6542 or at the following web site: http://www.shopetoncorp.com/detail/ETO+FR360-ACA-US
This is a modern, high-tech, digital radio. Unlike older analog radios, these products require more power. Also, when you're using batteries, they are always powering the display, which never turns off. The play times of alkaline batteries are noted below. If you want longer life, I suggest using the Eveready lithium ion batteries, which last 3 to 5 times longer; available almost everywhere. Also, an AC adapter is available for $10+shipping by calling 1-800-793-6542.
