VHBG names new president
The Board of Governors of Virginia Home for Boys and Girls (VHBG) recently named Claiborne S. Mason (pictured) to serve as president. She began her tenure Aug. 6. Mason, 52, is the owner of the strategic planning and marketing firm C.S. Mason Consulting and most recently served as interim chief executive officer of United Way of Greater Richmond and Petersburg. "I'm inspired by people who work at nonprofits," Mason said. "In my roles on various boards and my consulting business it's always been gratifying to be a part of the incredible work that happens in the nonprofit community." Mason began her work in the Richmond nonprofit community 15 years ago when she volunteered to serve on the marketing committee for United Way of Greater Richmond and Petersburg. She led multiple initiatives and joined the Board of Directors in 1997 before her stint as interim CEO. "Claiborne's many years of volunteer service and consulting experience within the local nonprofit community, her recent leadership of United Way, and her business background make her the ideal person to lead this organization," said Thomas J. Dillon, III, VHBG Board Chair and attorney with Hirschler Fleischer. "She brings a unique perspective on the needs and challenges of nonprofit organizations, and a passion to serve the children and families of our community," said Dillon. Mason succeeds former president Chris Schultz, who left the organization in 2011. Since then, a search committee of the board, co-chaired by VHBG Board members Austin Brockenbrough, III and Kathleen Luke conducted an extensive search to fill the President's role. "The VHBG Board of Governors charged the search committee with finding a leader who could steer the organization strategically through a time of rapidly changing conditions in the human services arena. It was imperative that we find someone who has the skills and experience to successfully position us for future success," said Brockenbrough, founding partner of investment firm Lowe Brockenbrough & Co., Inc. "With Claiborne at the helm, we are confident that VHBG and its Board of Governors will be well positioned to effectively build on our legacy of providing an environment of strength and hope, where children and families are empowered to greater success." Mason serves on the Board of Directors for Gateway Homes, which provides a residential treatment program for adults with mental illness who are striving for independence. "It's always rewarding to be a part of critical programs that strengthen our community," she said. Her passion for nonprofits is even part of her children's lives. Her oldest daughter is interning at the local nonprofit Higher Achievement. Since 1846, VHBG has has provided permanent family for children in the Central Virginia area. VHBG is the only site in Virginia certified by the International Teaching-Family Association. |

Great work by NBC for this fantastic story. Stories like this need to be highlighted every night. Orchard Gardens, a school in Roxbury, Mass., had been plagued by bad test scores and violence -- but one principal's idea to fire the security guards and hire art teachers is helping turn it around. This is a must watch!

House of Suns | ||||||||
Alastair Reynolds | ||||||||
Gollancz, 512 pages | ||||||||
A review by Rich Horton
The story is not related to any of Reynolds's previous novels, though it is set in the same future (or perhaps
a near variant) of his
2006 novella "Thousandth Night" which features the same two main characters. (I am not sure, however, that the
events of "Thousandth Night" fit into the backstory of House of Suns -- at any rate, knowledge of the
prior story is not important to the novel.) In this future much of the Galaxy has been colonized by humans,
albeit often much altered humans. Human civilizations arise and fall over millennia. One of the very few constants has been
the Commonality, composed of a group of Houses or Lines. The Houses seem to be each composed of clones of a
single person. The first sets of these clones arose in the Solar System a millennium or so in our future,
during a time called the Golden Hour. One woman who chose to be cloned was Abigail Gentian, and her House
is the House of Flowers. Its members circle the Galaxy every 200,000 years then meet (at "Thousandth Night")
and share memories.
(Most of this time is spent in "abeyance" (i.e. either suspended animation or stasis) or at high time
dilation, so they skip over much history.)
As the main body of the novel opens, a Gentian "shatterling" (the term for the cloned members of the
Houses) named Campion is negotiating for repair of his ship. He and his lover Purslane (the two have long
consorted against House rules) are going to be late for the next reunion, which will only get them into more
trouble. But in the process they rescue Hesperus, a member of the Machine People, an AI
civilization. Hesperus, it turns out, is very interested in the Vigilance, an extremely weird human group that
monitors the strange Absence that has replaced the Andromeda Galaxy. And as it happens Campion is something of
an expert on the Vigilance. Cooperation seems possible, though the Machine People and humans rarely mix. But
all such questions seem moot when Campion, Purslane, and Hesperus reach the reunion site, for they quickly
learn that their House has been ambushed and almost destroyed.
The novel then concerns the rescue of a few surviving Gentians, and their attempt to unravel the mystery of
the ambush. Clues are few -- a captured attacker hints at a mysterious unknown House, the House of Suns, and
also hints that some discovery Campion made was behind the attack. Furthermore, one of their fellow Gentians
must be a traitor.
And one potential ally, Hesperus, is almost nonfunctional, while two other Machine People want to take him
home with them -- against Campion and Purslane's best guess as to his own desires.
It's a long novel, but my interest never flagged. It is told in alternate chapters from the viewpoints of
Campion and Purslane, with the occasional interlude set in the Golden Hour, when Abigail Gentian was a
child. (These interludes do set up the origination of the Houses, or Lines, but do little else -- much of
it strains to set up an analogy between an immersive fantasy Abigail plays and the main action of the
novel -- or it seems to want to do so but doesn't sell the parallel.) In classic SF fashion we are always
learning a bit more about the history and the setting -- and in classic mystery fashion we are inching
towards solving the central "crime." There's plenty of action, too, with the novel culminating in a very
long chase indeed.
The mystery is eventually solved, and the solution is fairly satisfying, with a pretty cool slingshot to
a much changed future.
So, a good example of Space Opera. Big (about 200,000 words), exotic,
action-filled. But it shares the weaknesses of much Space Opera as well. The characters are fairly flat,
and not very well differentiated. (Of course, in a sense most of them are the same person, but it is clear
that they are really different people, both by initial design and by the effects of millions of years of experiences.
Yet they speak with too much the same voice.) The prose is serviceable but not in any sense special. And,
for all that the story is set millions of years in the future, with the action extended across thousands of
light years, there is a certain diminishing of affect.
The characters (even the robots) seem very like people of our time.
The long distances traveled, time spans elapsed, are pretty cool if you think about them, but as experienced
seem a bit too routine, almost domesticated. I don't think this entirely Reynolds's fault -- there is a bit of
a translation issue, no doubt -- "translating" such posthuman experiences to our knowledge base is going to be difficult.
But it can be done, or has been done, occasionally -- in Olaf Stapledon,
perhaps (with a certain loss of direct emotional affect), in a different way in Vernor Vinge,
in some Greg Egan (though in, for example, Diaspora, Egan's
attempts to be awe-inspiring by the end are simply incomprehensible, which is, I think, what Reynolds's
domestication of the far future seeks to avoid). What I'm left with is an impression of a novel that I had
a great deal of fun reading, that is packed with pretty cool ideas, and nice action and gadgetry, and a
thought provoking conclusion. Which is all good -- but for all that I felt it fell just a bit short of brilliance.
Rich Horton is an eclectic reader in and out of the SF and fantasy genres. He's been reading SF since before the Golden Age (that is, since before he was 13). Born in Naperville, IL, he lives and works (as a Software Engineer for the proverbial Major Aerospace Company) in St. Louis area and is a regular contributor to Tangent.

Basically this is the opposite of the last blog.
Today I finished up school for the year. So yeah, downside is I went to the pool after and got sunburned, but nothing we can do about that. So this is my last year of homeschooling as next year I'm headed to public high school. But until then I will be on here even more.

Parent(s) | Martín Pinzón, Mayor Vicente[3] |
Relatives | Pinzón brothers |
Vicente Yáñez Pinzón (Palos de la Frontera, Spain, c. 1462 – after 1514) was a Spanish navigator, explorer, and conquistador, the youngest of the Pinzón brothers. Along with his older brother, Martín Alonso Pinzón, who captained the Pinta, he sailed with Christopher Columbus on the first voyage to the New World, in 1492, as captain of the Niña.
Personal life[edit]
Pinzón was born in Palos de la Frontera on the Atlantic coast of Huelva, youngest of the three famous sons of seaman Martín Pinzón and his wife Mayor Vicente.[3] His birth year is uncertain; it is generally given as c. 1462;[citation needed] Juan Gil concludes from legal documents that his two daughters were over the age of 20 in 1509, that it certainly cannot be later than 1469.[1] 1469 would be quite a late date, given that there is record of him being a corsair or privateer (with his older brother Martín Alonso) in Mediterranean waters between 1477 and 1479 when other towns failed to provide Palos with an adequate supply of grain in wartime.[4][5]
He married twice: first to Teresa Rodríguez, by whom he had two daughters, Ana Rodríguez Pinzón and Juana González Pinzón;[1] second, probably in 1509, to Ana de Trujillo, who some surviving documents refer to as "Ana Núñez de Trujillo".[2]
It would appear that he was based in Palos at least up to and including the time of Columbus's first voyage (1492); by 1495 he was living in nearby Moguer; after the economic failure of his 1499–1500 expedition,[6] he appears to have moved no later than 1502 to Seville. He may have moved there to escape creditors.[7] Historian Juan Gil, researching Pinzón's family life, found strong circumstantial evidence that his first wife left behind a mansion in Triana, across the river from Seville: her own property, not his, which passed into the hands of their daughters.[8]
The last primary record of him is in 1514, in Seville or Triana. According to the chronicler Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés, he died that year, probably at the end of September. It is not known precisely where he is buried, though Oviedo expressed confidence that it was in the cemetery of Triana.[9]
In 1499, Pinzón sailed to the South American coast. Pinzón eventually disembarked on the shore called "Praia do Paraíso", in present-day Cabo de Santo Agostinho of the state of Pernambuco, or further northwest, in what is today Fortaleza (capital of the Brazilian state of Ceará). According to the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494) between Spain and Portugal, Spain could make no claim, but the place was named "Cabo de Santa María de la Consolación" by Pinzón. He also sighted the Amazon River and ascended to a point about fifty miles from the sea.[10] He called it the "Río Santa María de la Mar Dulce" ("River of Saint Mary of the Sweet Sea") on account of the vastness of the fresh water river mouth, and he thus became the first European explorer to discover an estuary of the Amazon River. Pinzón is also considered the discoverer of the Oiapoque River.
In 1505, Pinzón was named commander-in-chief and corregidor of the city of Puerto Rico, now called "San Juan". This was to be the first step in the colonization of the island called "Borinquén" by its inhabitants and "San Juan Bautista" by the Spanish (now called "Puerto Rico"). However, Pinzón did not fulfill this commission.[11] In 1508, he travelled with Juan Díaz de Solís to South America. No record exists of Pinzón after 1514.
On November 19, 1999, a monument to his memory was dedicated in Palos de la Frontera, Spain, on the occasion of the fifth centennial of the discovery of Brazil and of the brotherhood with the city, Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil.

Councillor rallies support for double-edged subway relief plan
James Pasternak says there's room for two relief lines: one closing the loop in North York, one in the east end.

Centrist Toronto Councillor James Pasternak is rallying support for a double-edged relief plan for the city's over-burdened transit system, with two new subway lines that would carry suburban commuters from the north and east ends of the city.
The first-term councillor thinks he can sell his city hall colleagues on what he's calling a North York Relief Line. But to get the support it needs, Pasternak says the concept has to be packaged with the long-discussed east end relief line, running from Danforth, around Pape or Broadview, to connect with the south end of the Yonge subway.
The proposed North York Relief Line, is in fact, the western portion of Mayor Rob Ford's thwarted Sheppard subway extension. It would connect the Yonge-Sheppard station with Downsview station on the Spadina line, providing a direct east-west route across the top of the city.
It's a link many transportation experts have suggested makes a lot more sense than extending the Sheppard subway east of Don Mills.
"We're trying to put enough votes together to have them studied as a package. There's deep reluctance to see more subway dollars going downtown without accommodation for what's happening in North York," Pasternak (York Centre) told the Star on Thursday.
With mounting talk of new taxes — parking levies, a regional sales tax and road tolls — to support transit expansion, it's time to plan "the next generation" of improvements, he said.
"The discussions have already started. There seems to be the will that this will be the next major transit initiative," said Pasternak.
He later joined eight other members of council's "mighty middle" for a two-hour brainstorming session in a boardroom down the street from City Hall. But they said afterwards they discussed general initiatives, like reducing red tape for businesses, and left transit specifics for a future meeting.
The western Sheppard subway would be a "relief line," because the pressure coming north and south on the Spadina line will be more difficult to manage once the extension to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre opens in 2015.
Pasternak believes the North York line could be built for less than the $1.1 billion that has been estimated because no expropriations would be required.
"It's dug all the way to Senlac Rd. from Yonge. You could probably open it with only one more station at Bathurst and maybe add a Faywood Blvd. station later," said Pasternak. He'd like the project ready to go as soon as the tunneling machines are finished on the Spadina extension in 2015 and free to be used elsewhere.
It's not known how much the east-end relief line would cost, although the usual rule is about $300 million per kilometre. Some transit experts have suggested that relief lines in the east and west ends of the city should extend north of Bloor-Danforth to serve commuters up at least as far as Eglinton.
The east-end relief line is part of Metrolinx's 25-year regional transportation plan, but there has been talk lately that it should be moved up on the list of priorities because of the massive overcrowding that is building on the south end of the Yonge line.
TTC chair Karen Stintz, who led the movement on city council to restore a light-rail plan to Sheppard East and Finch West — approved by Metrolinx on Wednesday — said the DRL needs to be reidentified as a suburban line, carrying commuters from Scarborough.
At a speech to the Economic Club of Canada Thursday, Stintz, suggested that Metrolinx needs to have more input from municipalities, particularly on the issue of taxes dedicated to transit improvement.
She is supporting a council motion that would look at bringing a group of Toronto-area municipal leaders together to talk about tolls and a regional sales tax.
"Municipal councils need to approve the plans. It is important that we think of it as a partnership, because if they develop their revenue strategy without the input of the municipalities, then it becomes too easy for us to vote 'no.' It's really important that we move forward on a dedicated transit fund and we move forward on investment strategy together," she told reporters.

I had a great day at work today. I went to Shiela's groups with her to spend more time with the kids before her baby comes. We played Catchphrase and the person holding it when the buzzer went off had to eat a Jelly Belly and guess the flavor. It was hilarious. My two ISU groups also went well.
I got my NCTRC certificate in the mail on Saturday. I am now officially Susanna R. Chadwick, CTRS. I will get used to adding the "C" in there soon because I'll have four times the amount of paperwork once I am working Shiela's units.
I gave Shiela a ride home from work today and she was trying to decide if she was in labor or not.
I tried to make Sweet&Sour sauce from scratch tonight. I didn't think it turned out very good but John really liked it. It was a nice day and we went for a stroll. Also, I made a cheesecake yesterday. It is somewhat runny, so I wonder if I didn't bake it long enough?

If you can't decide whether it is true labor or not, it is not true labor. I prematurely went to the hospital sure I was in labor with both my boys.
Mmmmm. Sweet & Sour. I haven't had any Chinese food since we were together at P.F. Changs.Posted by Susie at Tue Mar 09 2004 08:35
We eat a lot of Chinese and curries etc. We had an entire discussion on labor at work. (There is only one man in my office, with nine ladies).
Posted by Susie at Tue Mar 09 2004 08:36
PS: Shiela has not called me to come into work for her today so I assume she is definitely not in labor.

Olivier Giroud is confident he will break his Arsenal duck sooner than later despite admitting to "freezing up" in front of goal.
The France striker is being touted as a replacement for Robin van Persie but has failed to fire, missing two close-range opportunities in three games.
The France striker joined the Gunners in a big-money move from Montpellier in the summer but has struggled to fire in their early games, missing several presentable opportunities.
"I've been freezing up a little bit just when I've been about to pull trigger and that's exactly what happened in my first few matches for France," Giroud told Fifa's official website.
The 25-year-old netted 21 goals in 36 league appearances as Montpellier claimed their first Ligue 1 title last season and hopes to make an impact as the Gunners look to deliver a first trophy since 2005.
"I'm not too worried about it, because I've been scoring in training and I feel pretty comfortable being a part of this team.
"I just need to not think about things too much, so that I feel as relaxed as possible when the time comes to stick the ball in the net."
The Emirates faithful will be praying Giroud will not turn out to be another Fernando Torres who played almost one whole season before netting his first goal for Chelsea.
Arsene Wenger's other two new signings Lukas Podolski and Santi Corzula managed to open their account against Liverpool.
Giroud has shown enterprise and flair attempting a long-range effort over the Stoke goalkeeper which barely missed the target much to the chagrin of Wenger.
Nevertheless, he feels comfortable playing with Wenger's attacking formation.
"Being at Arsenal will help me with my development, and with a manager like Arsene Wenger in charge, I'm definitely in good hands," he said.
It will be only a matter of time before Giroud opens the floodgates for Arsenal.

I gave this rating because of poor management. Office management has changed at the least 5 times in the 3 yea Read Morers that I have been here. Office management and maintenance is not dependable and it takes at a minimum 2 months for small things to be fixed which by the time they get to it, it has now become a larger issue. The facilities are nice but poorly insulated. Energy bills are way too high for apartment living.

Sleep Quality in CHIMES (MF101)
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Menopausal women often complain of difficulty sleeping and the transition from pre- to postmenopausal status is associated with an incresase in self-reported sleep disturbance. Hot flashes have been associated with self-reported measures of sleep disturbance and changes in sleep pattern as measured by plysomnography, including an increase in stage 4 and a latency or shortened time in rapid-eye movement sleep. Although there are some data on the effect of hormone replacement therapy on self-reported sleep measures in symptomatic postmenopausal women, there are no data on the effect of herbal extracts on subjective or objective measures of sleep quality in this population group. Actigraphy, the use of a device to record movement generally placed on the wrist, has been used over 20 years to provide objective data concerning sleep/wake patterns. The advantage of actigraphy over traditional polysomnography is that actigraphy can conveniently record continuously for 24-hours a day for longer periods of time.

Fire Alarm Systems
760.42 Equipment Marking
This section was revised to clarify that "power-limited equipment" supplying power-limited fire alarm circuits must be durably marked to indicate each power-limited circuit. This change was necessary because some wiring method manufacturers were advertising that boxes and raceways had to be identified with the "color red" to meet this requirement.
Fire alarm equipment supplying PLFA circuits must be durably marked to indicate each circuit that is a power-limited fire alarm circuit.

[Following is the official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Killer" by Jack Elgos.]
I finally finished reading "The Killer" by Jack Elgos. I have to say, this book was a struggle. The story follows Darren 'The Butcher' McCann. McCann joins up with the Provisional I.R.A. the day after his mother's funeral. She was killed by their rivals and his plan is to avenge her death by killing as many Protestants as he could get his hands on. Darren receives his nickname 'The Butcher' (later shortened to just Butch) after a particularly gruesome interrogation. The author goes through the motions as we witness Darren training in weapons and hand to hand combat. He works his way up and is trusted with some important assignments.
Darren collects quite a few enemies doing what he does. One of these enemies is a former cop who runs into Darren as he is fleeing the scene where he was sniper shooting. When Darren runs into the cop, he struggles with him for a minute before headbutting him. Then when the cop is down, Darren kicks him in the face—forcing his eyeball from the socket, "It hung, crushed into a bloody pulp, as a mixture of blood and dark red jelly slowly oozed down his cheek" (pg 432 of 1987—iphone format). This particular cop and Darren already had a history, but after this incident Darren has not just an enemy, but an insane one.
I found Darren to be a likeable enough character and he certainly had audience sympathy because of what happened with his mother. He ends up meeting a woman in Spain who he connects well with and you can tell that he is searching for another mother figure. Their relationship ended abruptly when Darren was abducted by the very group that he was raging a war against.
The book was predictable and not all that entertaining. I feel like Elgos used excessive foul language in an attempt to authenticate the characters…but it ended up coming out like he just couldn't think of anything better to say. Just when I thought the book was starting to get interesting, it ended.
I would not recommend this book to anyone; it was a waste of time. On a scale from 1-4, I would give it a 1 out of 4. The story line was rather predictable and not all that smooth. The excessive language, his mocking of how the British talked, and the unnecessary gore that would come into play at seemingly random moments— just not a great read. I think that Jack Elgos has some potential as an author, but he still has yet to find his rhythm.

Márkos Kyprianoú (Greek: Μάρκος Κυπριανού [ˈmarkos cipriaˈnu]; born 22 January 1960 in Limassol) is a Cypriot politician who served as a Minister of Foreign Affairs until his official resignation in 19 July 2011, following the events of the Evangelos Florakis Naval Base explosion. A member of the Democratic Party, he was formerly Cyprus's Finance Minister and the European Commissioner for Health. He tendered his resignation as Commissioner on 29 February 2008 to become Foreign Minister in the government of newly elected President Dimitris Christofias; the resignation took effect on 3 March 2008, when his successor, Androulla Vassiliou, was confirmed as Commissioner.[1][2][3]
He studied Law at the Law School of the University of Athens and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he specialised in International Law and Tax Law and was awarded a Master's degree in Law (LLM). He earned a second Master's degree in Law, specialising in Company Law and Taxation, at Harvard Law School. He continued his academic career as a trainee at the Human Rights Commission of the Council of Europe and by carrying out research in International Law at the University of Cambridge.
He is the younger son of Spyros Kyprianou, who was President of Cyprus from 1977 to 1988.
As a Commissioner, one of his policies was the promotion of warnings on tobacco packets, with the Commission moving towards pictorial warnings.[4] Following several European Union member states enacting bans on smoking in public places Kyprianou proposed a plan for an EU-wide ban of that kind.[5] In May 2007, Kyprianou released a paper to tackle the shortage of organ donation in the Union. The plan included promotion, specially trained medical staff and an EU wide organ donor card.[6] Markos Kyprianou was officially charged on 24 January 2012, together with seven other persons,[7] by the Attorney General of the Republic of Cyprus in relation to the Mari blast.
On 9 July 2013 a Cyprus Criminal Court found Markos Kyprianou innocent and acquitted him of all charges. On 9 February 2014 Markos Kyprianou staged a political comeback as he was elected Deputy President of the Democratic Party in Cyprus.

State Department:
Improvements Needed to Strengthen U.S. Passport Fraud Detection Efforts
GAO-05-853T: Published: Jun 29, 2005. Publicly Released: Jun 29, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Maintaining the integrity of the U.S. passport is essential to the State Department's efforts to protect U.S. citizens from terrorists, criminals, and others. State issued about 8.8 million passports in 2004. During the same year, State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security arrested about 500 individuals for passport fraud, and about 300 persons were convicted. Passport fraud is often intended to facilitate other crimes, including illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and alien smuggling. GAO examined (1) how passport fraud is committed, (2) what key fraud detection challenges State faces, and (3) what effect new passport examiner performance standards could have on fraud detection.
Using the stolen identities of U.S. citizens is the primary method of those fraudulently applying for U.S. passports. False claims of lost, stolen, or damaged passports and child substitution are among the other tactics used. Fraudulently obtained passports can help criminals conceal their activities and travel with less scrutiny. Concerns exist that they could also be used to help facilitate terrorism. State faces a number of challenges to its passport fraud detection efforts, and these challenges make it more difficult to protect U.S. citizens from terrorists, criminals, and others. Information on U.S. citizens listed in the federal government's consolidated terrorist watch list is not systematically provided to State. Moreover, State does not routinely obtain from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) the names of other individuals wanted by federal and state law enforcement authorities. We tested the names of 67 federal and state fugitives and found that 37, over half, were not in State's Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS) database for passports. One of those not included was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. State does not maintain a centralized and up-to-date fraud prevention library, hindering information sharing within State. Fraud prevention staffing reductions and interoffice workload transfers resulted in fewer fraud referrals at some offices, and insufficient training, oversight, and investigative resources also hinder fraud detection efforts. Any effect that new passport examiner performance standards may have on State's fraud detection efforts is unclear because State continues to adjust the standards. State began implementing the new standards in January 2004 to make work processes and performance expectations more uniform nationwide. Passport examiner union representatives expressed concern that new numerical production quotas may require examiners to "shortcut" fraud detection efforts. However, in response to union and examiner concerns, State eased the production standards during 2004 and made a number of other modifications and compromises.

WATERTOWN Local officials will get a first look Wednesday at the renaissance taking place inside the Woolworth Building since a $15 million project to convert the six-story building into 50 upper-floor apartments and commercial space on the ground floor started.
Developers David J. Gallo and Erich H. Seber have invited officials to tour the building to see how construction has progressed.
Representatives from the city, Jefferson County and the Watertown City School District and members of Advantage Watertown are expected to attend.
Kenneth A. Mix, the citys planning and community development coordinator, has not been in the building since the work began in November. But he said he expects that all of the asbestos abatement and environmental concerns have been addressed.
I hear theyve started renovations on some of it, he said, adding that work has been completed on each floor.
The contracting team of Purcell-LeCesse Joint Venture is completing the work. The developers expect construction to be finished by the end of the year.
The six-story building was the F.W. Woolworth department store.
In 2009, the city applied for a $2.5 million Restore NY grant to help finance the project.
The city also sold some green space across the street on Public Square, between Cams Pizzeria and the Woodruff Professional Building, that will be converted into a 28-space lot for tenant parking.
