Who's paying for electricity during their build?
I got our electric bill for the job site, for the month of March...$95 for 772 KWH. This is double what we pay for our three bedroom house right now, to put it in perspective. They had been preparing and pouring the basement ICF walls during this time. Anyone have any input as to whether this sounds reasonable?
Wow, I am paying for temp. power but so far its been the monthly minimum of $10 or so and a minimal useage. They haven't done a lot of power heavy tools yet just one man on a saw and some air tools but I don't even think those use power, actually I don't know.
Read the bill carefully, is the minimum in your area high? or is it really the usage? The total is double your house but if you line by line compare is anything different?
I checked it against our current home's bill, and it's the same rate. What the heck are they doing to rack up such a bill? They have a trailer, and I think that's the only thing using power right now. I don't think anything with the ICF prep/pouring takes electricity, but I could be wrong.
This is the bill for just the unfinished home site. It is just a basement foundation right now, so it's not heated.
My current home's gas is billed separately, so the comparison amount is just for electric. Last month my current home was $46 for electric, $95 for the job site that consists of a foundation and a very power-hungry job trailer.
That is probably being heated? Your house probably has gas dryer, water heater and heat. There isn't much else that needs to be powered in a house...just some lights. And, hopefully those are not incandescents. Their tools will raise your bill substantially too--each saw runs at or more than a MW or a power hungry vacuum.
Be prepared.
I would call the electric company first. They might be able to pinpoint when all that power is being used. Or call an electrician. He may have an idea why if they use high power tools. See what you can find out first. $95 a month and power tools not much in use right now sounds fishy to me. Especially in view of comparison with home power bill. And was there any mention of power payments in contract? Find out what's in that trailer, you're not obligated to pay for extras, if power is being used after working hours. Good luck and keep us posted.
Electric space heaters use a lot of power, if they are using one in the trailer. And yes, air tools use power- usually an electric compressor. Some crews will use a gasoline powered compressor if there is no electricity on-site.
As to who pays for electricity during construction, it should be specified in your contract--though of course you pay in the end, no matter what.
Last time I saw a monthly electric bill under $100 was in a tiny condo in California in 1980!
The other thing that came to my mind after I thought about this was......obviously you expected to pay something for the electric, yes?
So even if the bill is 100% more than what you expected - the overage is about $40.
If you're going to make yourself crazy about ~$40....you're in for a looooooong build :)
I'm not being snarky - I'm thinking more along the lines of what Worthy just posted. It isn't like they're putting the electricity in their pocket and taking it home at night. :) Power tools, air compressors, and space heaters gobble up power.
So if you think they're being too cavalier with their electricity use, you can certainly look into it. But in the grand scheme of things, this isn't something you're likely to remember after you've been through the whole build. :)
Have you tried to check it out in any way? How about going to the site at almost quitting time. Check the meter, see how fast it's spinning. Then hang around until workers are gone, check the meter again. If it's still spinning the same rate, there's your answer. The trailer. Death by a thousand cuts is not a good way to go. It's up to you to find out why. Personally, I think it's excessive, and I would check it out, it's my money that has to pay it, and double my home electric, I'd definitley find out. And don't tell them you're coming.
What's you price/kWh? If it is ~15c (including fees), your contractor consumed about 666kWh (one may get carried away with superstition here!).
This translates to 926W of average power 24/7/30. Something is fishy here! Even power tools can't really explain this. It must be something like a space heater that's stuck on.
About the death by a thousand cuts: Welcome to building a house. I was my own GC over a period of 4 years with a lot of control over costs and $100/month is noise when building a house (sorry if this sounds arrogant).
I just received my monthly bill. Total of $14.11 in Western Washington. 42kWh used
$10.16 "basic change"
$3.94 "electric energy charge"
$0.18 "electrical cons. program charge"
$0.02 "power cost adjustment"
$0.01 "merger credit"
$0.11 "federal wind power credit"
$0.03 "renewable energy credit"
Don't know if that helps but most of mine is a base charge, perhaps your minimums are that? I don't know.

Written by JiJi Bahhur, Director of Regulatory Compliance
Recently, the CFPB posted a semi-annual update of its rulemaking agenda which explains and details the work it has done in 2014 and outlines the areas it intends to focus on in 2015. If you have not seen the rulemaking agenda before, it includes items that the CFPB is/has been focusing on and states what stage in the rulemaking process that particular item is in: pre-rule, proposed rule, or final rule.
I won't go into any detail, but if you're interested in seeing what the CFPB has been up to, take a look at the semi-annual update and the rulemaking agenda – both are short and sweet and easy to read. But now for a shameless plug: Are you looking for a one-stop shop year-end review of the NCUA's and CFPB's activities from this year? If so, you're in luck! NAFCU's Compliance team has made available just that – an article that synthesizes the final rules, proposals, and other guidance provided by the NCUA and CFPB during 2014 and also what to expect in the near future. If you are a NAFCU member, you can access this compliance resource in NAFCU's December Compliance Monitor issue (NAFCU log-in required). For a direct link to the article, click here (NAFCU log-in also required).
Speaking of NAFCU's December Compliance Monitor, members will also find an article outlining the CFPB's Annual Privacy Notice rule.

COLUMBIA - Duke Energy officials assured South Carolina regulators that the utility's two coal ash ponds in the state are safe in part because they are designed differently from a pond in North Carolina that dumped millions of gallons of contaminated water into a river.
But an environmental lawyer told the Public Service Commission on Monday that there are plenty of other ways the primitive structures can fail and send millions of gallons of ash-polluted water into nearby streams and rivers or allow contamination to seep into groundwater.
Southern Environmental Law Center attorney Frank Holleman urged Duke Energy to join South Carolina's other two utilities which have agreed to close the ponds and move the ash to safer storage in the next decade.
Regulators can review Duke Energy's electric rates and operations in South Carolina, but there doesn't appear to be much they could do about the utility's plans for its coal ash ponds. Duke asked for the hearing so it could keep the commission informed. The law center asked for a chance to respond to give its version.
Duke Energy has only two coal ash ponds in South Carolina. One is in Anderson County at a power plant is set to convert to natural gas within year. The second is at an already closed power plant in Darlington County where the pond has dried up, said Mike Ruhe, director of environmental affairs in South Carolina for the Charlotte, N.C., utility.
Neither pond has storm water pipes running under them and they will be thoroughly checked to make sure they are safe, according to the utility. A break in a storm water pipe caused the massive leak into the Dan River near Eden. N.C., last month. The toxic sludge containing arsenic, selenium, lead and other contaminants coated 70 miles of the river.
"We have looked at all the drawings to verify that there are no pipes or anything like that like we had at Dan River," Ruhe said. "We are looking to close both of those ponds as soon as possible."
But Holleman said that assurance is hollow. He said coal ash ponds are unlined pits built decades ago that could fail in any number of ways. He said the pond in Anderson County has a storm water pipe at the base of its dam that could cause all sorts of problems.
"That's just one failure. Before that happened, they weren't talking about storm pipes under ponds," Holleman said. "Who knows what other problems there might be."
South Carolina has 22 coal ash ponds across the state, but the other two major utilities - South Carolina Electric & Gas and Santee Cooper - have entered agreements with the Southern Environmental Law Center to get all the ash out of those ponds in the next decade to avoid lawsuits. Holleman hopes his group doesn't have to sue Duke Energy, but said the option is available - at least for now.
And South Carolina isn't immune to problems upstream. A half-dozen North Carolina coal ash ponds are in the by major rivers in the southern part of that state that flow into South Carolina., Holleman said.
Environmentalists want Duke Energy to do the same thing the other South Carolina utilities are doing - move the coal ash into lined landfills to protect groundwater and away from rivers.
"At least do with this ash what you and I are required to do with our kitchen waste," Holleman said. "No municipality could store routine municipal waste in an unlined pit filled with water next to a major waterway."

This is more interesting than you appear to realize. I taught courses for years (in environmental sciences rather than economics) and I emphasized that the predictions one makes are a function of an adequate broad representative database. You are saying, and showing, that the database for economic studies has been highly biased toward economies like the U.S. What do you think that implies about the ability to generalize from the results of those studies to the diverse economies of the world? Hmmm?
Well first of all newspapers are important to be up to date: Example during travelling or for work or during food pauses. It's combined with scienes for the general knowledge but always protect the USA economy.
Quintus Borgman
They certainly do and a study found that this led to significant differences being overlooked. In fact a study was carried out - "The Weirdest People in the World?" By "weird" they meant both unusual and Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. Given the data, they concluded that social scientists could not possibly have picked a worse population (America) from which to draw broad generalizations. A good review of the study can be found here - http://www.psmag.com/magazines/magazine-feature-story-magazines/joe-henr...
This is indeed an important study! Thank you for the link to it!
The recent obsession with quantitative methods has made economic degrees almost irrelevant to development. The problem isn't just the scarcity of data. The bigger issue is the failure to catch up with the discovery that linear statistical analysis has limited application to the complex institutional issues at the core of the development process.
This article confirms the old joke about economists searching for truth under the illumination of the lamp post. Perhaps more troubling is its naive acceptance that more economic analysis will lead to better policy outcomes. This can happen, but it depends on how the market for policy advice is structured.

Yesterday, a reader of ours pointed out a Tweet sent from the official Verizon Support Twitter account (@VZWSupport) that caught our eye as it related to those of us holding on to unlimited data. The Tweet mentioned to a customer that Verizon would soon be launching a promo for unlimited data users that included 6GB of data for only $30, and would also allow them to participate in Big Red's new VZ Edge (early upgrade) program. We scrolled through hundreds of other Tweets from this account, but this was the only mention of such a deal. We even tried getting them to provide more info, yet they never responded. Sure enough this morning, the Tweet (which we have included below) has been removed from existence.
So what's going on and what is this new promo? Well, we know a couple of things. (more…)

With Jay Leno's looming unemployment a hot topic in the late night talk show industry, we've all assumed that Jimmy Fallon would be a shoe-in to replace the longtime Tonight Show host. But as nothing is set in stone just yet, there might be a few other candidates for the position: Kim Kardashian, for one.
At least as far as she's concerned. Kardashian appeared as a guest of Leno's on Thursday night to reveal that she "put in an application" for his job — the professional turn she hopes to take following the conclusion of her E! reality series.

So what do you think? A Kardashian-run Tonight Show? With Kourtney and Khloe as her joint Ed McMahons (Ed McMehon?), and Kanye as band leader? There have been worse ideas... one or two, maybe.

Howard Brofsky "Dr. Bebop"
1927-2013 On Thursday, October 17th Howard Brofsky (Dr. Bebop) passed away peacefully at his home in Brooklyn. He was 86 years old. His love for others was communicated through words and deeds, but was most clearly expressed by the vulnerable and beautiful sounds he coaxed from his cornet. A gentle man who left behind a staggering legacy of accomplishments, Brofsky's crowning achievement was that he was an authentic man, a loving father, husband, friend and mentor. He leaves his wife and soul mate, Robin Westen, their son Gabriel Sky Westen; son Alex Brofsky and wife, Helene Lantry; daughter Natasha Brofsky and husband Roger Tapping and their children, Cordelia and Eleanor Tapping. Brofsky's scope can perhaps be best exemplified by the deep effect he had on jazz legend Jimmy Heath who, upon hearing of his passing, wrote: "I feel like I lost my brother. Dr. Bebop gave me a new life and I will always be grateful and humbled by what he did for me." Howard Brofsky was born in Brooklyn, NY on May 2nd, 1927. He studied trumpet with Nat Prager of the NY Philharmonic and composition with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. He earned his MA and Ph. D at
New York University
in 18th Century Italian classical music. Concurrent with his traditional studies, Brofsky was a jazz performer who absorbed the bebop idiom during its zenith. Brofsky was Professor Emeritus at Queens College; a passionate instructor, he was still teaching ten days prior to his passing. He also taught at the University of Chicago, University of British Columbia, Boston University, and the University of Oslo. Brofsky received Fulbright Awards to study and teach in France (1953) and Italy (1972). He spoke five languages. His first recording was made in Paris, 1955. He coauthored the widely used college textbook The Art of Listening: Developing Musical Perception and published numerous articles on eighteenth century Italian music and jazz. Brofksy was "the primary architect" of the jazz MA program at Queens College; he had the vision and power to facilitate the hiring of jazz luminaries to the faculty (Jimmy Heath, Donald Byrd and Sir Roland Hanna) and thus established a prescient mentorship connection between students and the jazz lineage. Brofsky was also instrumental in the establishment of the Louis Armstrong House and Archives. As a musician, Brofsky performed as a leader and enjoyed a long tenure in the bands of his friend, artist Larry Rivers. He released an acclaimed CD (73 Down: Dr. Bebop) in 2000 featuring his work with Larry Willis, Attila Zoller and other jazz greats. He also performed with Dexter Gordon, Jimmy Heath, David Amram and many others. Each May he celebrated his birthday at the Vermont Jazz Center with a concert featuring New York players such as Antonio Hart, Charles McPherson, Jimmy Heath, Jeb Patton, David Berkman, and David Wong. His friend, drummer Jimmy Wormworth stated "Dr. Bebop is a legendary New Yorker for cats in the know." Howard fell in love with the Green Mountain State about thirty years ago when he visited to assist guitarist Attila Zoller with the curriculum for the fledgling Vermont Jazz Center. Since that time his Brooklyn-heart has remained intractably connected to the hills of Vermont. Brofsky, his wife Robin and their son Gabe moved there in 1992; he served as President of the Board of Directors at the VJC for almost two decades before moving back to Brooklyn. For the last several years of his life, he had a steady gig in DUMBO at 68 Jay Street, a venerable artist's hangout where he took special pleasure in performing with his accomplished former students from around the world. From Brooklyn to Brattleboro, wherever Dr. Bebop hung his hat, communities of jazz lovers are feeling the loss of his glowing presence. Donations in Howard Brofsky's memory can be made to the Vermont Jazz Center scholarship fund.

Joe McPhee (born November 3, 1939)[1] is an American jazz multi-instrumentalist born in Miami, Florida, a player of tenor, alto, and soprano saxophone, the trumpet, flugelhorn and valve trombone. McPhee grew up in Poughkeepsie, New York, and is most notable for his free jazz work done from the late 1960s to the present day.
Life and career[edit]
McPhee was born in Miami, Florida.[1] He began playing trumpet when he was eight, before learning other instruments. He played in various high school and then military bands before starting his recording career. His first recording came in 1967, when he appeared on the Clifford Thornton album entitled Freedom and Unity. McPhee taught himself saxophone at the age of 32 after experiencing the music of John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, and Ornette Coleman. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, McPhee lectured on jazz music at Vassar College.[1]
In 1975, Werner Uehlinger started the Swiss label Hathut Records with the specific intent of showcasing McPhee's music.[2] In the 1980s, McPhee met Pauline Oliveros, began studying her musical theories, and worked with her Deep Listening Band. He has not yet signed with any major label in his native United States, and was possibly better known throughout Europe than his native country until the 1990s. His 1996 album As Serious As Your Life, which takes its title from the jazz book by Val Wilmer, is "arguably the finest of his solo recordings", according to the AllMusic review.[3]
Jazz musicians with whom McPhee has recorded or performed include Ken Vandermark, Peter Brötzmann, Evan Parker, Mats Gustafsson, Jeb Bishop, The Thing, Clifton Hyde, Jérôme Bourdellon, Raymond Boni, and Joe Giardullo. Since 1998, McPhee, Dominic Duval, and Jay Rosen have performed and recorded as Trio X.[4][5] McPhee has also written reviews and commentary for Cadence.[1]
In 2005, McPhee was awarded the Resounding Vision Award by Nameless Sound.

Hearing explores helping veterans open businesses
Wednesday, June 4, 2014
NASHUA, N.H. (AP) � The manager of a Nashua, New Hampshire, construction company is in Washington to tell Congress about how his veteran-owned business has expanded with federal help.
Dan Proulx is a manager at Monument Construction, which recently expanded its headquarters using a Small Business Administration Loan. He will be among those testifying Wednesday before the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, which is holding a hearing on ways to help veterans open and expand small businesses.
The hearing also will include a discussion of a bill sponsored by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen that would remove certain fees to make it less expensive for veterans to get small business loans.

I don't think I have ever read a love story from the point of view of a 68 year old male! Well written and charming, the novel takes a conventional plot and setting and manages to make the denouement both suspenseful and heartwarming. The elegant and witty prose outshines the occasionally contrived storyline, which relies quite heavily on coincidence.
The Major and an Indian woman slowly fall in love as their families both have selfish ideas for them and for their assets. This is a charming, poignant view of aging and love, the message reminds us of what's important in life and delivers a chiding about the ridiculous prejudices of race and class. Affectionate, humorous descriptions of England and Wales with spot-on recognizable stereotypes
Enjoyed this novel thoroughly. I thought the author did a nice job of capturing some of what it is like to be 60-something, the subtle and not-so-subtle patronizing of the young, and inner life: The Major is attentive to his impulses, all of them: charitable, uncharitable, desirous, selfish, vindictive, giving, etc. It reminded me a little of the novels of Mark Haddon, with its humor and insight into human behavior.
I registered a book at BookCrossing.com!
I knew how the story was going to develop and how it would end but I had no idea how the author would get us there. It was a fun ride.
Simonson .. is having a great time with her first novel. She is unsparing in her willingness to send up her characters and their little village, and she is often downright funny – that intelligent kind of funny that catches readers by surprise and makes them re-read a sentence several times to figure out how the author managed to make them laugh out loud so unexpectedly.The book is almost always pitch-perfect in its demonstration of how ridiculous our small ignorances can be – and how magnificent we are when we rise above them.
This thoroughly charming novel wraps Old World sensibility around a story of multicultural conflict involving two widowed people who assume they're done with love. The result is a smart romantic comedy about decency and good manners in a world threatened by men's hair gel, herbal tea and latent racism..When depicted by the right storyteller, the thrill of falling in love is funnier and sweeter at 60 than at 16. The stakes are higher, after all, and the lovers have stored up decades of peculiarities and anxieties
As with the polished work of Alexander McCall Smith, there is never a dull moment but never a discordant note either. Still, this book feels fresh despite its conventional blueprint. Its main characters are especially well drawn, and Ms. Simonson makes them as admirable as they are entertaining. They are traditionally built, and that's not just Mr. McCall Smith's euphemism. It's about intelligence, heart, dignity and backbone. "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand" has them all.

A few weeks ago I asked what are some safety ways to remove amalgam filling/where can I find dentists thatĀknow how to do this right. After reading the post and doing more research I decided not to get them out for a few years untill I know I'm done having kids, nursing etc.ĀI wasn't able to find anyĀholistic dentists in my state. Well....nowĀI have some bad news and some good news. I went to the dentist today for a filling.I knew I had a little cavity on the edge of a molar, in between molars- if that makes sense. However, I got the molar wrong. It turned out the cavity was at the edge of the molar that had the amalgam filling in it. They had to drill the top of the molar to get to the side of it and put the filling so I had two options: let them dril just enough to be able to do that and then have a half silver half white filling on that tooth, or have them drill out the whole amalgam filling. I thought that since I'll be exposed to the fumes I might as well get read of it. So the good news is that now I only have 1 amlgam filling left in my mouth. The bad news is that I've been exposed to the fumes and I wasn't prepared. What can I do now? Does anybody know any good detox products or anything I can do to minimize the risks? Obviously I won't even think about conceiving for a good year. TIA.

Chlorella is a good one for removing mercury but don't take too much at once or it can cause some digestive upset.

Thanks. I am getting ready to go to the health store and see what they have. I know they have activated charcoal and I remember reading about it somewhere that it helps.

I just got an amalgam filling a couple months ago.┬Ā I researched it and felt that the white fillings do not last as long so you'll be exposed to those chemicals more often b/c of all the replacements you'll need to get.┬Ā I've also heard from friends that they are a lot more sensitive.┬Ā
I don't know much about it.... my dentist said that they aren't as much of a concern now because the mercury in encapselated.┬Ā I thought it was more dangerous to have them removed and be exposed to it again.┬Ā
I'd like to know more about it though in case I end up needing another filling at some point.┬Ā I have a bunch of silver fillings...┬Ā :(┬Ā Should I be worried about myself or my baby.┬Ā I just got pregnant and now I'm concerned because I had a filling 2 months ago!┬Ā
Karleekale, even if regular fillings don't last as long the exposure to fumes int he dentists office when you go to replace the filling is not as much as if you have them in your mouth. You should not have to replace a regular filling for at least 5 years if it's done right. Compare that to having the mercury in your mouth every day. My dentist too said that the mercury is active only when they mix it in but once the filling is in place and hard there's no need to worry. Is BS!!! I think they are not allowed to tell you otherwise- or they can lose their license.
Here's a site that somebody recommended to me when I posted about amalgam fillings a few weeks ago. It has a lot of great information. YOu probably get more exposure when they drill it out than when they put it in, but I personally would NOT get amalgam fillings, especially if I'm pregnant. Having a baby and nursing is the best way to detox your body - which in this case is pretty unfortunate. http://heal-thyself.ning.com/profiles/blogs/amalgam-removal-risks-and

I have one, and had/have the same concerns.┬Ā I have decided that for my childbearing years I will leave it.┬Ā I do feel that I would rather let it sit there than risk the exposure from removal.
It┬ĀIS true that it constantly gives off dangerous emission, even enough to affect the people around you.┬Ā There was a documentary out there that tested the mercury levels, and they were enough to evacuate people in other professions working with it.┬Ā Also researching fertility and other health problems of dental assistants/dentists speaks a lot for the danger of exposure.┬Ā Wherever there is money to be made, you will be told what makes money, it's just how ego, pride and selfishness works.┬Ā
Bondservant of Jesus Christ
Take a high dose of vitamin C, up to the point that it will give you diarrhea.┬Ā I read this on one website that explains what to do before and after taking out mercury fillings.┬Ā Vit C helps your body to flush it out.┬Ā Selenium and chlorella are also good at binding to mercury and taking it out of your body.
Educate before you Vaccinate..
I had the same situation. I was researching removing amalgams, but then had to do it anyway because I needed to replace one of them. I had them replace the second two at the same time. I figured that since I have to do it anyway I may as well get rid of all of them. My holistic doctor recommended chlorella, high doses of vitamin C and garlic. I'm also taking some homeopathic medicine for detox, I don't remember the name now. If you can find a nathuropath in your area they may be able to help.
As far as getting a filling... ┬Āis there a certain amount of time I should wait after getting an amalgam filling before TTC? ┬Ā
I've read to wait a year if you have one removed... but can't find anything on if it is wise to wait AFTER getting a filling.
Wife to Chris & Mama to Kelly 7.29.08 and Quinn 8-16-10
Michelle, I'm not sure if after matters all that much.┬Ā Try to go on FB on Pat's page (from heal thyself)┬Āand ask her.

New standards for teacher programs will link quality measures to factors that include student test scores. The standards also raise the bar for admissions to teacher programs, calling for undergraduate applicants to have at least a 2.75 grade point average.
The new standards are part of an ongoing effort to improve teaching in Rhode Island's public schools. I asked Nancy Castagno from Rhode Island College to weigh in on the standards, and she said RIC and URI have both been working closely with state officials to craft the language of the standards.
Rhode Island College has decided against arming its campus police force. In an email, RIC President Nancy Carriuolo said a campus survey showed the college community about equally divided on the issue, though she stressed the vast majority did not respond to the survey.
Carriuolo said she made the decision after discussions with campus police and her cabinet.
As public schools focus on raising test scores and getting more students ready for college, there is new scrutiny on teachers and the schools that teach them.
Rhode Island's the Board of Education is scheduled to vote tonight on new standards for teacher preparation programs.
Rhode Island Public Radio's education reporter Elisabeth Harrison spoke with Karen Castagno, head of the education school at Rhode Island College who explained some of the changes they are looking at.
Rhode Island College has seen a nearly 60 percent increase in the number of veterans on campus since 2009.
RIC has taken steps to better serve veterans, including opening a Veterans' Resource Center, which helps connect veterans to a wide variety of services, including federal and state tuition assistance.
The center also employs student veterans in work study positions and makes regular phone calls to veterans to see how they are doing. RIC says the calls are a way of checking in on student veterans, who may not visit the resource center but may still have questions.
At Rhode Island College an ambitious project is underway. A group of faculty and students is building online tours of the capital city's historic North Burial Ground.
Rhode Island College political science professor Francis Leazes admits he's hooked on cemeteries. And in his view there is no finer from an historical perspective than Providence's North Burial Ground on North Main Street.
State police are going all out this year to combat underage drinking. A task force has been monitoring places where underage drinking has historically been a problem.
State police Colonel Steven O'Donnell said a task force comprised of state, municipal and campus police has been formed to address the problem of underage drinking. Since the beginning of September
they've investigated 30 nightclubs and several house parties near college campuses. Twenty-six people were summoned to appear in court on charges of alcohol possession by an underage person.
Jewelry success story Alex and Ani has purchased naming rights to the basketball court at the University of Rhode Island's Ryan Center for an undisclosed sum. The men's and women's basketball teams will take the court this season with the Alex & Ani logo prominently displayed at both ends of the floor.
URI is not the only state university upgrading facilities thanks to the company's largesse. The Alex and Ani name will also grace a new arts center scheduled to open this year at Rhode Island College.
Once again, Rhode Island has embarked on an advertising campaign to raise our state's flagging self-esteem. RIPR political analyst Scott MacKay says it's time for us to stop running down our tiny corner of New England.
Back in 1996, when Jack Reed was running his first U.S. Senate campaign, Texas Gov. Ann Richards came to Newport to speak at a Reed fund-raiser. The tart-tongued Texan introduced the vertically-challenged Rhode Island Democrat by saying to prolonged laughter that Reed is proof ``that size doesn't matter.''
With the rising temperatures comes a spike in crime across the capital city. In a series we're calling Hot City: Crime in Providence we're taking a look at summer crime by focusing the month of July. Last year the area encompassing Smith Hill, Elmhurst and the North End saw the highest number of crimes. Rhode Island Public Radio's Catherine Welch visits a street in that area where a dozen crimes happened in one month.
Tis the high season of summer in the Ocean State and the time of hijinks at the State House. As the hours dwindle towards adjournment, items big and small sometimes get lost in the last-minute shuffle as the competing egos in the House and Senate square off.
One very important economic development and education issue to watch: the fate of the resolution needed to move forward the plan to revive a gateway to the old Jewelry District in Providence by putting a nursing school in the old Dynamo Building, the onetime South Street power station.

In our sunroom, I want to put a Hubbardton Forge Chandelier.
The room is about 11 feet square but the table is only 48x20.
Take a look at this one to see if you think it could work.
Posting the floor layout and the chandelier.
Floor layout
HF chandelier
The chandelier is a bit larger than normal for the table but I think the room can support it - what do you think?
The guidelines I've been given would say 22 inches for the room, but only 10 for the table. Both are smaller than your proposed fixture which would extend beyond your table more than 2 inches on each side. That's a head banger if you hang it at a normal height. Having the bottom more than 7 feet up would mean treating it like a flush mount. I have seen that fixture and like it a lot. I think you can use it in the room, but you need a larger table.
Thanks lascatx and davidtay
I am relooking at the smaller model of the same style lamp or getting a bigger table.
The room can support a bigger table - I just wanted the lift top table so the room could be more comfortable for sitting.
The good news - I haven't ordered either the table or the lamp.
I saw that fixture again Friday and thought of you -- wondered what you were doing. I agree -- you could use a larger table, but a smaller version would probably work too. I do like that fixture, and if you haven't seen it in person, you won't be disappointed. The salesperson who has been helping me and I have both said how much we like that fixture, but it doesn't fit my house.

Tuesday afternoon, Jennifer Isabel Mireles, 21, of Lufkin surrendered to authorities for the hit and run accident which occurred on Christmas night near the intersection of Chestnut and Willow Bend Drive in Lufkin.
The inaugural Race for Success to benefit Junior Achievement was held this past Sunday in Lufkin. The event featured a half-marathon, 10K, and 5K races. I had originally planned to run the 10k race, but due to some nasty knee issues that came up in October, I ended up giving the 5K a try.
The U.S. Army Recruiting Office in Lufkin is hosting a blood drive today in the Lufkin Mall Parking lot. The event continues until 6 this evening and the blood coaches are located near Rudolph the Red-Nosed Pumping Unit.
Well, not necessarily on Christmas Eve or Day, but this final weekend before the 25th could prove stormy, and possibly destructive. A cool front is coming and Saturday afternoon may get interesting, to say the least.
Out of the thousands upon thousands of Lufkin High School students who have walked across the stage to receive their diploma, William Chance will be the first ever to do this...he will be attending classes in the Fall at one of the world's most prestigious universities.
It mimics flu-like symptoms, but results in kidney failure. The big question is: What is it? According to a report in the Houston Chronicle, 4 persons are confirmed dead in Montgomery County as a result of this 'mystery illness'.
Christmas should not be a time of uncertainty, fears, and instability, but, unfortunately, for many children in the area...it is. There are a quite a few foster kids in the area who want nothing more than necessities or just a basic toy for Christmas.
According to a press release from the Lufkin Independent School District, Virgina Sims, 2nd grader at Trout Primary, was honored Monday with an award for her bravery presented by the American Legion Auxiliary in Lufkin.
Over the past few months, I had seen some references to 'Google Glass' on various websites and social media pages. The gist of the stories I heard was that this was going to be the next big thing in the world of technology. Still, I had no idea what it looked like, nor its practical usage.
Last week we had a contest on KICKS 105's Merrell in the Morning Show for the chance to win Carmike Cinema tickets to see the new Disney movie, 'Frozen'. The one stipulation was that the winners had to provide us reviews of the show, preferably from a kid's point of view.
Well, the critics have spoken, or written, and it looks like Disney has another blockbuster (surprised face).
When the holidays arrive, and actually well before that, you can always count on the Marine Reserves to help area kids with the Toys for Tots program. This year is no exception as Brian Crews and his volunteers have been relentless in making sure that collection boxes are located throughout Angelina and Trinity Counties.

Video: Kemba Walker hits game winner against Timberwolves
11/15/2012 at 10:14 am By Anthony Ramsey
Plays like this game-winning crossover and jumper by Kemba Walker are all 15 of Bobcats Fans have been expecting since he was drafted ninth overall last summer:
Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Alexy Shved had no idea what hit him. Walker's game winner was eerily similar to this one he hit in the Big East tournament his senior season at UConn.
So far this season Walker is averaging 19 ppg, 5.1 apg and shooting .434 from the field, all improvements from his rookie season and is a big reason for the Bobcats' 4-3 start this year.

Israel Folau 'exceeding expectations'
April 1, 2013
Israel Folau produced a star turn against Western Force © Getty Images
Israel Folau is exceeding expectations in his maiden Super Rugby season with New South Wales Waratahs, coach Michael Foley said after the former rugby league international was among his best performers for the second successive week at Allianz Stadium.
"Yeah he's going great, I'm really happy with him," Cheika said after Folau produced a solid all-round performance against Western Force highlighted by several genuine linebreaks, assurance under the high ball, and effective defence.
"From the start I've been quite happy with his progression and his comfort factor on the ball. We're seeing him now have very little doubt in what he's doing. He's entering the line, his ruck work's good, he's great under the high ball, and then he's returning.
"It's up to us to try and orchestrate a bit more space for him to try and show his true talents, but I think in the last few weeks in particular he's really started to get a move on and he's really enjoying his footy, too, which is good."
Cheika, meanwhile, said the Waratahs were nowhere near the "finished product" despite showing great poise under pressure in beating the Force 23-19.
The Tahs led 23-9 early in the second stanza, after Adam Ashley-Cooper scored the hosts' only try of the afternoon in his 100th Super Rugby game, but the Force hit back with a converted try from Alfi Mafi and a penalty goal to close within four points on the hour.
"We looked a bit more comfortable being a score up than perhaps a few weeks ago (in the loss to the Cheetahs) when we were a bit more jittery," Cheika said after the Waratahs had held their nerve to post consecutive victories for the first time this season.
"I think there's still a bit [of anxiety there] but a little bit at a time. I just really feel our guys that we've started grooming in leadership roles are taking their responsibility really seriously and committing to the cause, and that's helping a lot of guys to come follow. But we're not going to get carried away with anything at this stage."
Cheika said when asked how much improvement was in his side that the Waratahs had "miles to go".
"There's no finished product coming any time soon, but that's not to say we're not happy with some of the way we're playing. ="We're getting the ball out to the players we need to. The guys who we want to get the ball [Israel Folau, Adam Ashley-Cooper and Drew Mitchell] are getting the ball and they're making yards. We need to deliver a more consistent platform and be more comfortable to stay on the ball for longer periods of time."
Western Force dominated the game everywhere bar the scoreboard (video available only in Australia)

If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
As my profile title suggests, I am a huge proponent of conceptual learning and practical thinking. It is true that in many cases, success in a class or on an exam does depend on one's ability to memorize and recall individual facts, figures, dates, etc. However, as far as long-term success is concerned, I have personally found it most beneficial to understand and master concepts and ideas, rather than to get bogged down in minutiae and trivial details. In other words, I view learning how to learn as the most important, indispensable skill that any student could ever have.
With that said, I have spent a good portion of my adult life honing this skill in multiple work environments with people of very different backgrounds.
I have earned a bachelor of science degree from Humboldt State University in California where I grew up. There I studied physics for two years before switching my major to kinesiology and graduating in 2012 with a GPA of 3.71.
Throughout my time studying at HSU, I was also enlisted in the Marine Crops reserve as a heavy equipment operator. After six years and one deployment, I was honorably discharged in 2012 as I moved across the country to Massachusetts. Since graduating over a year ago, I have worked for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge as a health and fitness specialist. Each of these work environments have provided me the chance to not only learn new skills and concepts, but also to pass on to others what I have already learned. My success in each of these environments demonstrates mastery of the tools and processes necessary to succeed, both in educational and professional sectors of life.
By taking complex concepts and translating them into an easily understandable form without dilution of the content, I am able to teach methods for ensuring long-term success while improving grades and general knowledge in the classroom.
I see every subject, from calculus to history, as having a very specific and distinct set of tools (in an algebra class, for example, the "tools" of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are key). As important as it may be to memorize how to use them, learning why and when to use them is critical to student success, both in the classroom and in practical, everyday situations.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Since September of 2013, I have served as a Literacy Tutor through the Americorps program at Springfield College in Springfield. For a total of over 300 hours, I have served in a kindergarten classroom under teacher supervision. My experience includes determining and improving student proficiency in oral language and vocabulary, visual discrimination, and phonological awareness.

Exhibition: December 04, 2011 - February 04, 2012
Chekhov once said, "A novelist is not the one to solve problem, but the one to ask questions." If we convert the literature into painting, they should have the same meaning. In the artist's perspective, everything is a problem. The artist is not necessary to assume the responsibility of answering when they are facing the powerless of questions. There is even no meaning to answer. It just prompts the existence of questions. Plainly speaking, art itself is already a problem.
On November 26, 2011, aye gallery will show you dozen of pieces of Chen Wenji's latest works. These works remain his painting style in recent years, resulting different reaction of visual sense by different forms. There forms (or works) still don't have any meanings, not represent anything, nor point to anything. Maybe they are nothing, but perhaps they are everything...

Company Overview of Icon Bioscience, Inc.
Company Overview
1253 Reamwood Avenue
Sunnyvale, CA 94089
United States
Founded in 2004
Key Executives for Icon Bioscience, Inc.
Icon Bioscience, Inc. Key Developments
Icon Bioscience, Inc. announced that the last patient has completed treatment in its pivotal Phase 3 study of IBI-10090. Top-line data is expected to be reported in the fourth quarter of 2014. Employing Icon's Verisome technology, IBI-10090 is designed to provide a controlled, sustained-release formulation of the anti-inflammatory agent dexamethasone into the anterior chamber of the eye through a single injection administered immediately following cataract surgery.
Icon Bioscience, Inc. announced the completion of patient enrollment in its pivotal phase 3 study of IBI-10090, approximately four months ahead of projected timelines. IBI-10090, which employs the Verisome technology, is Icon's lead pipeline product. It has been designed to provide a controlled, sustained-release formulation of the anti-inflammatory agent dexamethasone into the anterior chamber of the eye through a single injection administered immediately following cataract surgery. With some three million cataract surgeries performed annually in the US alone, IBI-10090 addresses a potentially large market. Moreover, the current standard of care for inflammation associated with cataract surgery involves a comparatively burdensome process of patient administered eye drops applied topically several times daily over an extended time period.
Icon Bioscience, Inc. announced that David S. Tierney, MD joined the company as President & Chief Executive Officer. Previously, Dr. Tierney served as President & COO of Oceana Therapeutics, Inc., a company he co-founded in mid-2008.
