Underemployed Rates High in Oregon
MEDFORD, Ore. — Economists are reporting the unemployment rate last year is nearly double the reported amount at 17 percent, but only if people who gave up looking for work, or were part-time workers and wanted more hours, were included.

in Weird & Wonderful at in Lerwick
29 January 2013 - 29 January 2013 (TBC)
28 January 2014 - 28 January 2014 (TBC)
The Lerwick Up Helly Aa is a magnificent fire festival, incorporating the burning of a Viking galley and a torchlit parade. Nearly 1000 people dressed as Vikings or in other fancy dress take to the streets for this community-defining event.
The Up Helly Aa is said by some to hark back to an ancient Viking practice of burning a galley as a sacrifice to the sun; others maintain it is held to herald the beginning of spring. Whatever the reason, this extraordinary event is attended by visitors from all over Scotland.
The proceedings begin in the early evening when parade members known as "guizers" assemble in the town centre at Hillhead. The parade is led by the "jarl", dressed as a fearsome looking Viking warrior. The guizers form themselves into squads who each choose a distinct theme for their costumes. They all set off, torches aflame, dragging an enormous, specially constructed Viking galley. When they reach the burning site, all the paraders fling their flaming torches into the boat, which goes up in a tremendous blaze.
Once the blaze has died down, all the squads file off to visit the 11 local halls where they perform their set pieces - singing special songs or performing a dance routine they have prepared. The festival ends with a big ceilidh which goes on late into the night.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009) |
Hime (姫?) is the Japanese word for "princess", or more literally "demoiselle", i.e. a (usually young) lady of higher birth. Daughters of a monarch are actually referred to by other terms, e.g. Ōjo (王女?), literally king's daughter, even though Hime can be used to address Ōjo.
The word Hime initially referred to any beautiful female. The antonym of Hime is Shikome (醜女), literally ugly female, though it is archaic and rarely used. Hime may also indicate feminine or simply small when used together with other words, such as Hime-gaki (a low line of hedge).
Hime is commonly seen as part of a Japanese female divinity's name, such as Toyotama-hime. The Kanji applied to transliterate Hime are 比売 or 毘売 rather than 姫. The masculine counterpart of Hime is Hiko (彦, 比古 or 毘古,) which is seen as part of Japanese male gods' names, such as Saruta-hiko. Unlike Hime, Hiko is neutral, non-archaic and still commonly used as a modern Japanese male given name, for example Nobuhiko Takada.
Usually, a "Hime" will go through a ceremony, in which she is considered a "Daoshi" and then later becomes a Hime. The ceremony is similar to the Japanese tea ceremony, and is usually up to 3 hours.
Ichi hime ni taro "First baby, a girl. Second baby, a boy": It originally meant that having a girl first, and a boy second was easier on the mother as she gained experience before nurturing a boy. However, with each household having fewer children, this is commonly confused as having "one girl and two boys", or three children. This is because "ichi" means "one" in Japanese and "ni" means "two" in Japanese, and therefore could be read as, "One girl, two boys."
While many use the name Hime to address those of a higher or more noble birth, there are a few who use it as a girl's name. Thus some names either incorporate the word Hime or the giver simply will name said girl Hime.

Translate this page Notice of intent issued that Fallbrook Hospital ER and ICU could close Nov. 17 if alternative provider not foundTuesday, August 19th, 2014 Issue 34, Volume 18.
"While the decision to end services is not final, 90 days notice of the intent to close the emergency department at Fallbrook Hospital effective November 17, 2014 has been given; the intensive care unit would close at the same time." "The Fallbrook Healthcare District is actively searching for an area provider to offer their services in Fallbrook. By giving notice, the hospital has the option to close services as it deems necessary if no alternative provider is identified by FHD and the two parties are unable to address the ongoing financial losses for Fallbrook Hospital." "We are supportive of the District in their work to develop a sustainable healthcare system for the Fallbrook community," says Kapua Conley, chief executive officer. "All options are being considered as the District creates plans for the future that benefit the hospital and surrounding area." "Fallbrook Hospital is open and maintaining services based on the current timeline for the FHD process which is projected to be complete on September 17, 2014. Proposals from prospective providers are due at the end of August." 12 comments
Having spent 9 hours in the ER last week..and having a loved one staying in the hospital,I can attest that perhaps it's abput time. I'm saddened by the closure..but frankly the care that's being provided is not up to standards I'd claim. It seems that the only care being provided is inputting at the computers..bedside care has been very lax..it's like the good employee that's given their 2 weeks noticeLls good up until about the last week..then nothing gets done. Sad thing is..our insurances are being billed the same weather or not care is being given in sub standard manner or not...
Son taken to the ER last week, only one person being attended to before us, but it took us 4 HOURS to finally leave the facility. It took MUCH LONGER for the paperwork, questions and collection of Co-Pay, than it did the actual care given to him. I just don't understand. Will be sad to have to go north or south for emergencies.
I have been to Urgent Care there three times with my children, and have always had quick and friendly service. It has actually been much better than larger hospital urgent care experiences I've had. It will be really unfortunate for our community if we end up with no hospital.
Good! It's not like they do much anyways. They focus more on their phones/computers than the people. And their waiting time is ridiculous, 45 min for the E.R?! by that time I am already dead and buried. Not much of an E.R if it takes that long. I've gone to clinics that call you in sooner than that.
The hospitals in the Temecula area seem to have improved. We've had to use the ER twice in the last year and we pretty much walked right in both times. Rancho Springs has expanded its ER and may be getting their act together (finally). The new hospital on the 79 also adds quite a few ER beds. Our previous ER experiences were really bad, so I'm glad to see things are getting better. No ER is probably better than a really poor one. Unfortunate turn of events for Fallbrook.
I was in the emergency room and doctors were no help at all they could not find what was wrong with me. I was on morphine the entire time I was there and I was I'll throwing up my body could not handle the pain and morphine to strong. I checked out because nothing was being done. The nurse made me sign a document stating that I was leaving and they were not agreeing with me. I went somewhere else and right away they found what was my illnes. I also took my son once but they said they are not equipt to deal with kids...ugggghhh so frustrated,but yet I'm stuck paying a bill of 15,000.for them just givinge morphine
I have had bad experiences at Fallbrook hospital. Everything takes an eternity and no one seems to care. I love Fallbrook, I hope we can get a better hospital if possible.
I have been to Fallbrook's ER and OR for surgery. I have received superior service everytime. The only reason the wait times are longer now is because the staff, especially nurses are desperately trying to find work elsewhere before CHS bails out on the hospital. Prior to all the talk about Fallbrook Hospital closing the service was excellent!
It's been going down hill since Mimi left.
Fallbrook Hospital is a for-profit hospital operated by Community Health Systems. For profit medicine does not work. It is time for change.
It's about four years too late! I have a card in my wallet that says 'DO NOT TAKE ME TO FALLBROOK HOSPITAL'. Too many of my friends have had terrible experiences.
Re: Kurt @ Comment #11 My family also had terrible experience at Fallbrook Hospital. There is no way that we would go to Fallbrook Hospital again. |

(2-0, 1-0 away)
Louisville 17
(1-1, 1-1 home)
Coverage: ESPN
7:00 PM ET, September 9, 2011
Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, Louisville, KY
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The FIU Panthers finally have that upset of a team from a Bowl Championship Series conference, and they can thank the senior receiver nicknamed Goodbye for playing a key part in a very big victory.
Winston Fraser returned an interception 71 yards, and T.Y. Hilton scored touchdowns of 74 and 83 yards on his first two catches as FIU upset Louisville 24-17 on Friday night.
It was the Panthers' first win in six tries against the Big East Conference. They are 2-0 for the first time in their short history, and the defending Sun Belt Conference champs head home celebrating their biggest win yet.
T.Y. Hilton Says Goodbye to Records
T.Y. Hilton broke his own single-game receiving record for FIU since it joined the FBS in 2005. Hilton has four of the top five receiving games by a Golden Panther during that span.
Most Receiving Yards Single Game,
FIU Player Since Joining FBS in 2005
Date | Player | Yards |
Friday | T.Y. Hilton | 201 |
2008 | T.Y. Hilton | 199 |
2005 | Chandler Williams | 160 |
2008 | T.Y. Hilton | 145 |
2010 | T.Y. Hilton | 140 |
powered by
"Coach (Mario) Cristobal has done a wonderful job with us, and we love everything he's doing," said Hilton, who is known as Goodbye. "FIU is on the rise."
The Panthers never trailed as Fraser stepped in front of a pass by Will Stein and ran up the left sideline for the TD midway through the first quarter. Hilton had a school-record 201 yards receiving, and the Panthers had five sacks and two turnovers in the win for a program that started playing football in 2002.
Cristobal called it an awesome evening.
"To be able to come into the home of a BCS team, playing the way we did, overcome a little bit of adversity there at the end, getting out of tough situations, I've never been more proud of a group of football players as a player or as a coach than those guys right there in that locker room," Cristobal said.
Louisville (1-1) had never played FIU before, and the Cardinals had been 25-8 against nonconference opponents since joining the Big East in 2005.
But these Cardinals are very young in coach Charlie Strong's second season, and he had no one who could keep up with Hilton, let alone stop the receiver even knowing he would be FIU's top target.
Hilton, the do-it-all senior being promoted for the Heisman Trophy, didn't touch the ball on offense until early in the second quarter. Hilton only needed two quick catches, the first off a slant from Wesley Carroll on third-and-4 as the receiver easily beat defenders for a 74-yard touchdown and a 14-3 lead.
"You seen when I caught the ball," Hilton said laughing. "Once I caught it, I shot off. Everybody, they just stopped and said 'He's gone.' That's why they call me Goodbye."
The worst part for Louisville is Strong said they knew they had to defend Hilton.
"We had him double-teamed, and he split it. You can't give up the big play," Strong said.
Big East blog
ESPN.com's Andrea Adelson writes about all things Big East in the conference blog.
Hilton did it again on the next drive, this time on third-and-11. He got behind the defenders, caught the ball, and no one came close to him as he finished off an 83-yard TD catch putting the Panthers up 21-3 with 9:28 left in the second quarter.
"T.Y. Hilton is a different breed," Louisville linebacker Dexter Heyman said. "We haven't seen a receiver with 4.2 speed. He ran right past me, and I take full responsibility for that. You have to play with your eyes and read your keys, play good technique."
Stein threw for a career-high 349 yards and two touchdowns, the last a 26-yarder to DeVante Parker with 1:49 left to cap an 80-yard drive to try to rally the Cardinals. Louisville tried the onside kick only to see FIU recover the ball. The Panthers couldn't pick up a first down to run out the clock and had to punt the ball back with 38 seconds left and 97 yards to go.
Facing fourth-and-1, Stein completed a pass to Scott Radcliff who fumbled and FIU recovered to clinch the upset.
Louisville cut down its turnovers from an opening win over Murray State, and the Cardinals held the ball for more than 36 minutes, rolling up more yards in total offense (446-293). The Cardinals couldn't match the quick-strike offense of FIU and Hilton as they bogged down near the end zone.
Sam Miller and Tourek Williams had two sacks apiece for FIU with Williams' two coming on the same drive late in the fourth as the Cardinals tried to rally.
Stein capped a drive with a TD pass to Josh Chichester, but the 6-foot-8 sophomore's left foot landed on the end line out of bounds before they settled for a 30-yard field goal from Chris Philpott to pull within 7-3. Strong put in freshman Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback for a series before going back to the 5-10 Stein.
The junior managed to drive Louisville 89 yards and tossed a 6-yard TD pass to Michaelee Harris just before halftime to pull the Cardinals within 21-10.
FIU led 24-10 in the fourth quarter when Louisville drove 80 yards downfield before bogging down with fourth-and-1 at the FIU 7. The Panthers stuffed Jeremiah Wright for a 4-yard loss to stop another Cardinals' drive short of the end zone.

Neo-liberalism and Marketisation: the implications for higher education
KATHLEEN LYNCH, University College Dublin, Republic of Ireland
pages 1-17 http://dx.doi.org/10.2304/eerj.2006.5.1.1
This article is based on a keynote paper presented to the European Conference on Educational Research (ECER), University College Dublin, 5-9 September 2005. The massification of education in European countries over the last 100 years has produced cultures and societies that have benefited greatly from state investment in education. To maintain this level of social and economic development that derives from high quality education requires continual state investment. With the rise of the New Right, neo-liberal agenda, there is an attempt to offload the cost of education, and indeed other public services such as housing, transport, care services etc., on to the individual. There is an increasing attempt to privatise public services, including education, so that citizens will have to buy them at market value rather than have them provided by the state. Europe is no exception to this trend of neo-liberalisation. Recent Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) reports, including one on higher education in Ireland, (2004), concentrate strongly on the role of education in servicing the economy to the neglect of its social and developmental responsibilities. The view that education is simply another market commodity has become normalised in policy and public discourses. Schools run purely as businesses are a growing phenomenon within and without Europe, and there is an increasing expectation in several countries that schools will supplement their income from private sources, even though they are within the state sector. In this article, the writer presents both a critique of the neo-liberal model of marketised education and a challenge to academics to work as public intellectuals both individually and with civil society organisations to develop a counter-hegemonic discourse to neo-liberalism for higher education.

Can anybody tell me more about this, or do any of you have a demo or podcast about this device, or know from where it can be obtained. Many thanks Julie.

Hi All, sorry if I am starting an already open topic, but I could not find any information on how to go about changing the fuel filter on the Mk1 focus. I understand the push in white clips can be a pain and cause problems if they fail, I've heard that if they brake a complete new fuel pipe from ford is the only way to replace broken clips so I'll keep my fingers crossed for now.
What I wanted to know is how do I go about dropping the pressure in the system before I remove the filter? Im guessing you remove a fuse / relay?
Thanks in advance

White, Perigrine Family Home PageUpdated September 6, 2000 |
I am searching for ancestors before Daniel White. I have reason to believe that I am related to Perigrine White. He was the first child born after arriving in America on the Mayflower. Any other relatives or information on relatives in the Upstate NY area would be most appreciated. One of my great-grandfathers, Daniel White was a circuit riding, Methodist minister standing well over 6' tall. He rode a mule on his travels and often when traveling across rivers and streams he had to fold his long legs up and over the saddle to keep from getting his feet wet. There is a statue I have been told that is in Plessius, NY in his honor. I believe also that his house was part of the under ground railway system. Thank-you for your help. Always, Phyllis |

quote:Surely, the legal verbiage is not "mom is custodial parent" etc.
quote:Had they taken the legal steps required by law, then there would be no responsibility toward the donor
quote: In gay relationships how do they introduce themselves?
quote:Just how in the hell is that going to work in the case of a divorce where child support will be mandated to the "dad" or the "mom"?
quote:Maybe gay marriage has will help make divorce settlements/custody rulings/child support more fair and balanced since they will have to rework the laws
quote:The point he's saying (at least, I think) is the way the laws are currently set up/how judges rule always heavily favor the maternal parents in terms of custody, child support, alimony after divorces, etc... Since the current default is currently the mom, what will the default be for these new situations?
quote: What criteria will be used to determine who the best parent is, how assets will be split, child support percentages, etc...
quote:Surely, the legal verbiage is not "mom is custodial parent" etc. I would suspect it would be more like "Susan Q. Public shall be the custodial parent". Am I wrong? If correct, it becomes simple: "John Q. Public is custodial parent. John Doe shall pay ____ in child support"
quote:The crowd that thinks they'll be no ramifications and is always asking," how will it affect you" need to open their eyes. It will affect everyone and through taxes, it will affect everyone in the pocketbook.
quote:Gay marriage is one thing. Allowing them to adopt children is another - and it should not be allowed.
quote:usually with one parent being the domiciliary custodian
quote:and with child support paid to that parent by the non-domiciliary parent.
quote:Even though mothers still win custody more often than fathers, there is no "default" in the law now. Both parents have equal opportunity to win the custody case, at least in theory. That would be no different in same-sex marriages. What gives women the advantage over their husbands these days, especially when the children involved are very young, is the preference for keeping the child with the parent who has been the "primary caregiver", which is still more often the mother than the father. Legally, though, there is no preference for either.
quote:quote: usually with one parent being the domiciliary custodian the mom quote: and with child support paid to that parent by the non-domiciliary parent. the dad
quote:Women are making more, getting better educated. There are not stay at home dads. I hate a teacher in high school that was married to a DR. i doubt she would be considered domiciliary.
quote:i agree women have made MAJOR progress in the economy, but the numbers in family cases don't line up with that. they dominate
quote:I predict the divorce rate to be much higher between two dudes than two lesbos.

What is a typical day like at hunting camp?
Mornings can be spend leisurely relaxing at camp or at the restaurant, preparing gear, fishing, sightseeing, canoeing or other an activity if you choose. We leave camp around 1pm each day, each guide taking 4-5 hunters to their stands by 2-3pm for the remainder of the day. Hunters are picked up in sequence at the end of legal hunting hours (usually between 6-7pm depending on the length of the daylight) and driven back to camp for dinner at the restaurant.
I shot a bear…now what?
In the event you shoot at a bear or shoot at one, your guide will will pick you up at the designated time at the end of the evening. After each hunter is picked up, then you will accompany your guide while your bear is tracked and retrieved from the woods.
What type of weather should I expect?
Temperatures typically will be 50-60 during the days and cool off considerably in the evening. Bring layering clothing to be comfortable in your stand. Bring along rain gear so you are prepared for a wet day.

Elijah Boardman, Ralph Earl -Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I went to see my old crush, Revolutionary War veteran Elijah Boardman, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last week. I have been thinking about him lately since I have started researching writing a book on New Jersey's role in the Revolutionary War.
Other than my wild affinity for this patriot, I have never been particularly drawn to this period. In fact, I am sure that in my past life, I was a mid nineteenth century abolitionist lawyer and my husband was my spinster sister who resented me and my freedom as a man. This life is just payback for me for being so insensitive to him. Everyone that I know seems to have an affinity to the civil war.
However, there have been periods in our history, such as Victorian, when everyone was wild about ye old colonial days. Perhaps this part of our nation's history has been botched by our school systems in recent years. I have never really understood the issues and events of the War for Independence. I may have tuned the history out after the trauma I suffered when I did not get the part of Dolly Madison in my fifth grade play, 1776. As to Tea Partiers analogies, can today's government really be compared to the grasping British Empire as they fought "for the subjection, the unconditional submission of a country (the colonies) infinitely more extended than our own (Britain's) of which everyday increases the wealth, the natural strength the population" (John Wilkes, Lord Mayor of Londonadress to the House of Commons prior to the war)? Furthermore, today we do have representation however gerrymandered it is -not an appointed officer of the crown from another continent.
Now that I live in New Jersey, The Revolutionary War shouts to me. New Jersey was the one of chief military theaters of the War. More fighting took place in New Jersey than any other state.[1] I have decided that I need to write something that will help all of those kids –who may not have gotten a part in 1776- understand our state's history. It might be a trashy historical novel where Washington admits that Martha is really kind of dumpy and he really wants me (I mean my heroine) A true love match with a background of fighting and sacrifice.
Back to Boardman, my point is that youth has its assets: energy and hope. Boardman was a young self assured textile merchant in Connecticut. For years, I would look at his portrait in the American Wing and wish that I was 200 years younger. I did not understand his charisma even as a "honey" in my twenties; he managed to lure me away from my flesh and blood admirers for decades. Boardman represented the strength of a young country with raw materials for production.
Boardman is still cute but he is very young. I have aged. My tastes have aged as well. I couldn't help but notice a much more commanding presence in the room. He looked at me as though he really "got" me. Samuel Miflin has age, wisdom and power. I want to believe that our country as acquired this as well. Miflin was a patriot but also knew when to leave the fight to others and concentrate on politics on the home front. He knew his personal limits.Sam is no grasping, aging ,empire. Here is a man who rests on his laurels but also knows how to get what he wants with persuasive skill and ability to be practical in the face of poor odds.

Sweeping skepticism aside, Transportation Minister Mary Polak promised Thursday that widening of the Trans-Canada Highway west of Chase will start this year.
Polak and MLA Terry Lake reiterated a commitment made last fall by Premier Christy Clark as they announced, to a room filled with local politicians, the start of a month of public consultations along the corridor.
The minister was adamant - despite years of promised highway upgrading - that the 10-year, 440-kilometre project is beginning in earnest.
Slow progress on the Monte Creek-to-Pritchard section in the last two years has led some to wonder about the remaining section to Chase, although federal and provincial funding of $160 million is already earmarked for that portion.
Consultations for the 10-year plan begin on Tuesday in the form of a public information session at Hotel 540 from 5 to 8 p.m.
"That didn't get much of an applause," Polak prompted when her announcement met with silence. The audience obliged her.
The minister said she toured the corridor en route to Thursday's announcement.
The increasing economic importance of the corridor to trade and the province as a whole will also drive the project is, she stressed.
"There's no question attention needs to be paid to the Trans-Canada Highway if we're really going to be the Pacific Gateway province," she said. "So we had better make this commitment."
The two-lane stretch of the national highway to the B.C.-Alberta border is longer than two-lane portions remaining between Alberta and Ontario, she noted.
"It's been a long time coming," Lake acknowledged. "And it's great to see it moving forward in a tangible way.
Polak was quick to dispel doubts about the project proceeding, particularly since the government has but three months remaining in its mandate. Trans-Canada widening was promised by the NDP before the party was swept from power in 2001.
"There's one big difference," Polak said. "The projects we have promised to deliver, we delivered. I think you can look at our record."
The new Port Mann Bridge was promised before the 2005 election, she said, and listed other recent major improvments, such as the Kicking Horse Canyon and the South Fraser Perimeter Road.
"None of these projects happened overnight."
The $650-million commitment is made with the expectation that Ottawa will follow through with an equal share, but that remains a question mark, particularly with a soaring federal deficit with reduction targets attached.
"We're talking with them," Polak said. "This is where we have to begin, with the consultation and design. All along we'll work with federal parties."
As well, completion of the Monte Creek to Pritchard stretch awaits an agreement with the Neskonlith Indian Band. First Nations in general are demanding the same agreement be applied all along the corridor.
Polak said the province is working with the band to arrive at an agreement.
"We really do want to do this in partnership with them," she said, adding that the two parties "have come to a good place" in negotiations.
TNRD directors who live along the route were among those applauding.
"I'm hoping there will be a federal contribution to match that," said Ken Gillis, TNRD director for the Pritchard area. "I hope we'll maybe see it go as far as Chase in the first year."
He feels the imminent election will help to hold the government to account. The project is too vitally important not to proceed, he said, underscoring Polak's remarks.
Chase Mayor Ron Anderson sees the same sense of priority. He said he can't imagine any future provincial government standing in the way.
Coun. Pat Wallace remembered the same promise made by a previous government, but is confident the job will get done this time.
"Now they'll start it and cost is always a problem," she said. "It's not that easy to come up with all the cash."
Studies dating back 23 years have pointed to congestion and safety issues along the route. Between 2007 and 2011, there were 76 fatalities and 1,053 injuries on that highway section alone.
Incremental improvements have been made. Since 2001, both senior levels of government have invested $700 million in the highway between Kamloops and Alberta. Work continues on seven projects, including two phases between Pritchard and Hoffman's Bluff.
Yet safety and reliability need to be improved on a route that accounts for two-thirds of the goods exported from B.C.

Third-party testing reveals that recently enhanced DensDeck® Prime Roof Board (¼" thickness) demonstrates 2.5 times greater flexural strength compared to competitive ¼" boards. The results prove that DensDeck Prime is more durable when transported and installed, thus providing significant time and money advantages for roofing contractors.
The 52-story Georgia-Pacific Center is a landmark on the Atlanta skyline. But after nearly 30 years, the tower's roof had come to the end of its useful life. When faced with the need for a new roof, what does the manufacturer of industry-leading DensDeck® Roof Boards do? The choice of products may not surprise you, but the versatile ways in which the product was used might.
A roof is a big investment, and it protects an even bigger investment in the building and its contents. That's why durability in any roofing system translates directly into lower total cost of ownership. Durability is more than just toughness. It's also the ability to protect contents and occupants from fire, water and noise. Several forces challenge roof-system durability, including fire, moisture exposure, sound intrusion, impact from hail and foot traffic, and wind uplift. Properly chosen cover boards can help reduce the effects of all these forces.
Georgia-Pacific sponsors free, online AIA registered programs for architects through course provider, AEC Daily corporation. AIA-member architects can earn Health Safety Welfare (HSW) continuing education credits for successfully completing these programs. Non-members can also take the online courses for CEU credit. At present, all states that require continuing education accept the AIA courses for the MCE state requirements.
The Georgia-Pacific Design Studio, formerly known as the Georgia-Pacific Gypsum Tool Box, gives architects, specifiers, contractors, building owners and facility managers the interactive tools and information needed to make decisions and increase efficiency throughout design and construction. Among its many features are the Assemblies Library, a searchable database of assemblies, 3D files and performance characteristics for numerous systems and assemblies using Georgia-Pacific Gypsum products; LEED® Calculation Tools; and Online Division 7 and 9 binders, collections of specifications, working documents and case histories.
Use these tools to create a report for LEED® Materials and Resource Credits MR4 Recycled Content and MR5 Regional Materials for your projects in the United States using Georgia-Pacific Gypsum products.
