The Huffington Post reported February 7 on the nationwide effort of The John Birch Society to help stop the implementation of the United Nations' Agenda 21. The article focused on the Society's website, and also on its action guide which provides advice on how to oppose Agenda 21 at the local level.
While the article does not clearly exhibit a bias against The John Birch Society or in favor of Agenda 21, it states the concerns of the Society rather matter-of-factly without outlining the evidence supporting those concerns.
Already two decades old, Agenda 21 is a United Nations plan for "sustainable development" that was backed by George H.W. Bush and 177 other world leaders. Though Agenda 21 was hatched in 1992, Bill Clinton signed an Executive Order in 1995 establishing a Presidential Council on "Sustainable Development," which essentially provided a permanent platform for the UN plan by circumventing the approval of both Congress and the American people.
Despite Agenda 21's seemingly innocuous intentions, critics have noted that several components of Americans' way of life are at risk under the plan: private property ownership, single-family homes, private car ownership, individual travel choices, and privately-owned farms.
The American Policy Center says of Agenda 21:
According to its authors, the objective of sustainable development is to integrate economic, social and environmental policies in order to achieve reduced consumption, social equity, and the preservation and restoration of biodiversity. Sustainablists insist that every societal decision be based on environmental impact, focusing on three components; global land use, global education, and global population control and reduction.
Following the establishment of the Council on Sustainable Development, J. Gary Lawrence, Council advisor to President Clinton, predicted that there would be significant opposition to the program:
Participating in a UN advocated planning process would very likely bring out many of the conspiracy-fixated groups and individuals in our society.… This segment of our society who fear "one-world government" and a UN invasion of the United States through which our individual freedom would be stripped away would actively work to defeat any elected official who joined "the conspiracy" by undertaking LA21 [Local Agenda 21]. So we call our process something else, such as comprehensive planning, growth management or smart growth.

We offer everything you need to ensure your 360 Degree Feedback and Performance Appraisal processes are efficient and effective.
Learn how to:
Learn how to:
A performance appraisal conversation is only one part of a cycle of performance management conversations throughout the year.
We offer 'Meaningful Conversations' training modules so Line Managers are skilled in all of these
Performance Management conversations are an opportunity for two-way, open and honest conversation, so ensuring your employees are also prepared is a key factor for success.
We can build their confidence and capabilities through our large-scale 'Coffee Conversations' facilitated events.
The recipient needs to come away with a balanced understanding of their feedback – the debriefer needs to be curious and exploratory in their questioning; it's not enough that there is a conversation, it's the quality of that conversation which counts.
We can conduct face-to-face debriefs or can train your own people to conduct them effectively.
Software can generate lots of graphs, charts and stats, but does it provide insight? Our Matrix report is ideal in supporting a conversation about development.
If we have conducted the face-to-face debriefs then we can provide even greater insight; we get a lot of information about your organisation; we bring these individual, group and strategically important themes together with the aggregated data from the 360 programme into a summary analysis which we then present to you.
Too long and fatigue sets in, comments fall away and people don't get the best feedback they deserve
We design 360 questionnaires that focus on the behaviours you really want people having conversations about.
One that is fit for purpose and serves the needs of the individual and the business.
We design performance appraisal forms that focus on the areas you really want people having conversations about.
We engaged Bowland Solutions to support our Account Manager Development programme. We found working with Bowland Solutions to be professional and informal which resulted in a good working relationship.
The tools on offer suited our criteria and the transition from paper to the finished working platform was easy and to a high standard. The implementation was well managed and the delivery and support was excellent.
RCI FS benefited from an outstanding piece of work which enabled us to build our next step in our Account Manager Development programme. RCI FS would recommend Bowland Solutions as an excellent partner in 360 degree/180 degree feedback.
We recently returned to Bowland for a landmark programme involving over 200 of our most senior people worldwide.
The firm obtained 3 very valuable outcomes from it: robust management data that told us where to focus our investment in learning and development, so we put every £ where it will do most good; an uplift in personal skills – not just from the recipient group but from over 400 people who practised giving constructive feedback; and finally the target group found the one-to-one debrief meetings to be milestones in their professional development.
Having contacted numerous 360 providers, Bowland Solutions were the only people that were able to design and develop a bespoke platform from which we were able to support our robust performance management process within timelines and budget.
They did an excellent job to the point that we are now partnering with them for further enhancements to our online 360 system.
VSO have had a very positive experience working with Bowland Solutions to introduce a performance management system that works for all our colleagues, many of whom work on a low band width, experiencing frequent IT challenges.
I have been particularly impressed with Bowland's solution-focused approach, flexibility and a unique combination of IT and HR expertise, which means I often rely on them for 'sense checking' our own thinking, as well as building a system that supports it.
The team are friendly and responsive to work with, and I would recommend them to organisations in all sectors.
Bowland Solutions provided us an absolute professional service from beginning to end. Their advice, support and personal approach was invaluable as well as their flexibility to work towards and around our business needs. A pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend.
The people at Bowland Solutions are think-ers and do-ers. I needed people to help me think through the content of our online 360 appraisal leadership programme, and I needed people to build the system and get it up and running. Bowland are experts in both areas. And nothing is ever too much trouble, which makes it a pleasure to work with them.
Bowland came to Revlon tasked with designing a 360 Feedback tool for use in three of our EMEA office locations. Not only was the project flawlessly executed against tight deadlines, but it also culminated in a bespoke, user-friendly system that perfectly matched our requirements. Their collaborative approach meant the design and implementation of the system was painless.
Initially we contacted Bowland to find out what 360 was all about, they talked us through the process to help us determine if it was for us, helpful discussions such as this with no obligation are something you don't often find these days!
All our contacts from Sales, Training, Admin and Design/Set-up, talked us through the process and allowed for a very smooth and stress free set up, responding to any query helpfully and promptly.
We recently undertook training for our Director Team on giving 360 feedback. The training was excellent, taking the members through several scenarios which they might encounter and gave practical advice on how to deal with potentially difficult situations; the role play exercises gave the opportunity to try out different approaches and the resulting feedback was constructive and insightful. At the end of the training the Directors felt fully equipped and confident to be able to undertake the debriefing sessions with their team members. We have now used Bowland Solutions for over 2 years and we look forward to continuing with our ongoing 360 development improvements
I contacted Bowland Solutions to help us build a bespoke multi-lingual 360 feedback tool with a Johari Window...there was a 3 month turnaround timeline and Bowland were absolutely great. I found them to be very creative, flexible and efficient even when dealing with our many changes.
They have been extremely professional in terms of the system implementation and support, and no request was ever too big or too difficult. We have now been able to introduce a very professional, trustworthy feedback tool to support our leadership development in Digicel as a result. Thank you to all who helped in Bowland Solutions.
Following a tendering process WTO procured the services of Bowland Solutions to implement an online performance management system.
The professionalism, expertise and flexibility of the team has been instrumental in planning, organizing, testing and implementing this new system within deadlines.
Introducing an online tool for performance management in the WTO was a real challenge in many ways : IT approach, different look from former paper versions, a rigorous process based on managerial accountability, etc. With the continuous assistance and guidance of Bowland solutions, the HR team successfully achieved this objective.
The online system is simple, clear with a clean look. Its implementation took place in very smooth conditions over four months. Its user friendliness has been the most attractive element for the staff, some comments include : "the work and feel of the product matches very closely the needs expressed by the WTO senior management", "an excellent design, straightforward and self-explanatory". It has been easy to customize the layout and the process according to WTO preferences.
The system supports a multiple language feature which is fundamental in a public international organization like ours. Supporting staff enquiries about the system in an autonomous way has been made possible with only half an hour training with the HR team.
Extracting multiple reports to meet organizational needs can be done on a regular basis or at any time. As a result, choosing Bowland Solutions was just a perfect match for the WTO !
Bowland Solutions worked with us to implement a 360 degree Partner feedback programme. I found them to be extremely knowledgeable, very professional and relied immensely on their valuable advice and guidance on making this programme a success.
I would highly recommend Bowland Solutions.
World Duty Free has worked with Bowland Solutions recently to create our on-line 'bespoke' appraisal & 360 tool.
Having known the team for some time I can honestly say that it was excellent to work with them again in creating a solution, that now several months on, has created a simpler and more efficient way to record development and objectives for our total business.
I cannot recommend Bowland solutions enough
WDP has successfully used Bowland Solutions for 360 feedback on a number of occasions, most recently for our senior management team. We come back to Bowland Solutions because they are skilled and flexible and because they take the time to understand our needs. They host a branded 360 site for us which makes electronic completion of the 360 survey itself simple and straightforward.
Most effective and most valuable, however, has been the debriefing process. Each member of the SMT has had a confidential one-to-one debrief with John Rice from Bowland Solutions to consider their individual strengths and areas for development. This year at the end of the process we added an SMT group debriefing, also facilitated by John. The purpose of this group debrief was to identify key team and organisational themes coming out of the 360 process.
I would definitely recommend this additional stage as it adds value to the whole process and enables the SMT to focus on its core strengths.
The greatest value added for us of using Bowland Solutions for the 360 feedback process is in the quality of the coaching support we receive which really helps our senior managers to focus on the strengths they display as well as creating a platform for their future development.
I organised for Bowland Solutions to deliver an in-house 360 degree feedback debriefs training session. I found the session to be very rewarding and it gave me clarity on the best practice approach to conducting debrief sessions.
John put me at ease and related the training to my personal needs and fully answered all the questions I had. He made great use of his materials and I must say the training has given me peace of mind and confidence to deliver debriefs to people within my organisation.
The team at Bowland Solutions are a pleasure to do business with. They understand their client and demystify a sometimes jargon filled area with clear practical advice and pragmatic solutions.
On each occasion I have worked with them they have gained instant credibility with the senior partners and have demonstrated a personal commitment and pride to see the project through to a successful completion. Most notably, their support in conducting the face-to-face 360 degree feedback debriefs with all our partners was very well received and a significant component in the overall effectiveness of the programme.
I would not hesitate to work with them again.
We had the opportunity to work with Bowland Solutions to assist us in introducing core behaviors to our entire workforce of 500 people. Bowland's design solution of "Coffee Conversations" assisted our employees in embracing the new way of behaving. All facilitators were skilled in leading our teams through the session and bringing forth salient points from the conversations. The concrete take away of "storyboards" with a visual picture of conversations was a wonderful take-away for our employees. It was a great pleasure for us to work with the Bowland Solutions Team.
We found working with Bowland on both our Performance Appraisal and 360 Degree Feedback projects very constructive. Their approach did not feel formulaic in any way. It felt tailored to what we needed and we didn't feel pushed in a particular direction.
It was very much a conversation that led to the right outcome, so our experience has been very positive with their support making a significant difference and improving the process that we went through.
We have really valued Bowland Solution's collaborative approach, knowledge and experience. John has always been on hand to lend advice, guidance and support even before I had engaged their services. Their knowledge is second to none, and with it comes passion and energy. Our requirements demanded a fast turn around and Bowland were flexible and quick to respond to our needs. A highly valued service that I have no hesitation in recommending.
Bowland has been a tremendous partner to McCann Erickson. They helped us develop a bespoke 360 program for our key executives across North America. John and his team conducted the live debriefs with all participants who were thrilled with the productive and actionable feedback they received in the process. I highly recommend Bowland for any simple or complex 360 feedback program.
We believe that performance appraisal and 360 degree feedback processes need to be both efficient and effective.
Through our experience we have found that efficiency comes about with a well thought out process, good form & questionnaire design and a move online.
Effectiveness comes through ensuring the quality of the conversations at the heart of these processes go well.

The Missoni Home Story
Ottavio and Rosita Missoni first met at the Olympics in 1948 (Ottavio was competing and making track suits for the Italian Olympic team at the time). The two eventually married in 1953 and started up a small knitwear workshop in a basement in Milan. When editor Diana Vreeland mentioned Missoni in a Vogue article in the 1970s, Missoni pretty much exploded into the fashion world and soon branched out into menswear, perfumes and home furnishings. The company is mostly run by Missoni's children while Rosita oversees home wear.

Our summer collection from the Zappas Artistic Team was to create a number of beautiful, bright commercial hair images to reflect what's happening with hair on the high street. More styled and finished hair as opposed to the more dressed down grungy looks that have gone before. These bright summery shots portray a much cleaner and more polished approach to current trends. A fabulous sunlit back drop was perfect to set of our well groomed models complimented with contrasting summer colours from our wardrobe.

The addition of a massive 36 tooth cog is one of the key features of Shimano's new 10 speed Dyna-Sys range of drive trains.
The big advantage to the 36 tooth cassette is that you'll be able to stay in your middle and big rings longer meaning that you'll ultimately be shifting less. Who would have ever thought more gears would equal less shifting?
Please Note:This cassette can only be used in conjunction with Shimano Dyna-Sys series components. Dyna-Sys was designed from the ground up to be used as one complete unit and parts from previous generations cannot be mixed and matched.
Replacing drivetrain parts? Need a chain to go with this cassette? Check out entire selection of 10 speed chains here.
I bought this a while back when I was doing a 1x10 conversion on an old bike of mine. Truly, you can't beat XT when it comes to value. The cassette is reasonably light, ultra durable and very crisp and smooth with shifts both up and down. Nothing but good things to say about the XT cassette and at such a low price it is hard to find a better 10 speed option.
Can't beat it for the price. Shifts smooth and not too heavy.
This is my first xt cassette, and i couldnt be much happier, precise shifting every time, it really makes a difference in your performance!!!
This cassette was my first "real" foray into 10 speed in the rear. The engagement was smooth and better than I expected. The range was well suited to my XC needs. I used this cassette for quite some time. I would highly recommend it to a friend or a customer.
Great cassette so far. It works very well with all the other XT components and is not overly heavy. Most bought it because I wanted to stick with all XT components, but don't have anything bad to say about it other than that I wish it were a tad cheaper so it'd be easier to replace when worn.
I only upgraded to save a little weight from the SLX. Well the upgrade was totally worth it, shifting was smoother and it is wearing really well. I have a lot of elevation changes where I ride and downshifts for sudden climbs is a frequent occurrence, as you know climbing and shifting typically don't go well together. Well this cassette has taken it all with no signs of adverse wear or performance drop. I would buy another one if and when I may need too.
Very happy with this cassette. I chose it because I wanted to remove the 17 tooth ring and add a 42 tooth from OneUp. Now I have a 1X10 with an 11 to 42 range. Shifts clean and a great value.
This cassette worked great. The XT level shimano cassette is pretty light compared to the 11-34 Sram cassette that came on my bike. It also shifts just a little smoother. I went with the 11-36 and I'm glad I did for the trails around here. It gives me just a bit more range to climb some of the steeper trails I ride. I have other XT cassettes and love how long they've lasted on my other bikes. For the money, XT is a great mix of lightweight, smooth shifting, and durability. I bought an xtr cassette for my hard tail and it was a little lighter but it also cost 3 times more. Its not worth the extra cost in my opinion.
Great cassette. It may be a little heavier but it's the reliability time after time. Chain transfer from sprocket to sprocket is fairly smooth. The biggest appeal the cassette is it can take a beating from XC racing dust itself off and then go on a long trail ride with no problems.
Great looking, great running. Using it with an xt chain and derail. Raceface NW ring up front. Went with xt over slx in case I ever decided to try the 42 tooth conversion....slx can't handle it.
This to me is a no brainier upgrade to your bike. Increase performance and a notable weight difference between this and the deore cassette commonly used on mid level bikes.

PROVIDENCE — Although attorney William Murphy tried to paint former Central Falls Mayor Charles Moreau's felony as a "victimless crime," U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell declared that "public corruption has many victims" and sentenced Moreau to two years in federal prison.
Moreau was also fined $25,000, which the judge told the disgraced ex-mayor is "the amount of financial gain you received" from the crime. He was ordered to perform 300 hours of public service once he gets out of prison and he will remain under supervision for three years after his release.
Moreau must report to a yet-to-be-determined prison by March 4 at 2 p.m.
McConnell said the sentence he meted out "serves the ends of justice."
Moreau, 49, pleaded guilty in November to one count of accepting a gratuity — a furnace for his home — from his friend Michael Bouthillette, 49, in exchange for giving Bouthillette a lucrative, no-bid "emergency" contract to board up foreclosed homes in the city. Between September, 2007 and July, 2009, Bouthillette boarded up at least 167 houses in Central Falls, prosecutors allege, charging the building owners more than $1 million.
Moreau, who was joined in the courtroom by his wife, Kristen, and other family members, told the judge that during his career he has helped many people in the city. "I've changed people's lives forever," he claimed.
"Whatever happens from here is in God's hands," the mayor said, adding "I ask for leniency."
Standing on the courthouse steps after he learned his fate, Moreau acknowledged to reporters, "I did hurt the people of Central Falls and the reputation of the city and I apologize. I never intended to hurt anybody.
"Unfortunately, of all the good things I have done, I will be remembered for this bad thing. There was a lot going on in the city of Central Falls at the time, maybe I took my eye off the ball and I strayed over the line. A made a mistake and I take responsibility for it."
Asked what he would say to the residents of Central Falls, Moreau answered, "hang in there, be strong and fight through this bankruptcy. Central Falls is a great little city that has some big city issues. But with the new leadership there, hopefully the state is out of their face in a little while and they can move on for themselves."
"I have always loved Central Falls," he said. "The people of Central Falls have been great to me."
An hour later, Bouthelette faced McConnell and managed to avoid prison time, a result that surprised many onlookers.
He was sentenced to 3 years of probation, including 2,000 hours of community service to the residents of Central Falls – the equivalent of one year of fulltime work without pay - and a fine of $5,000. The court also ordered Bouthillette to provide the Rhode Island Foundation with a payment of $160,000 to establish an endowment of charitable funds for the residents of Central Falls for public safety, housing and education programs.
Bouthillette is also prohibited from collecting more than $275,000 in liens placed on properties for board-up work he performed for which he yet to be paid. The court ordered that Bouthillette turn over any other money he collects from the work to the city.
Bouthillette admitted that in March 2009, he assisted Moreau in obtaining a furnace for Moreau's Central Falls residence for which Bouthillette admitted that he contributed at least a portion of the purchase price; Bouthillette admitted that, from March to November of 2009, he provided numerous renovations and repairs to a Lincoln residence owned by Moreau which Moreau never paid for; and Bouthillette admitted to the court that in April 2010, he provided flood remediation work at Moreau's Lincoln home which Moreau never paid for. Moreau admitted to the court that he accepted each of these gratuities from Bouthillette.
Moreau had faced 21 to 27 months in prison and prosecutor Terrence Donnelly asked the judge to mete out the full 27 months. Bouthillette could have received between 15 and 21 months in prison according to federal sentencing guidelines.
"This is a case about arrogance," Donnelly told the judge during Moreau's hearing. "It is a classic case that it is who you know rather than what is best for the city when it comes to doling out city work.
Donnelly said Moreau acted as though "city jobs and contracts belonged to him."
He said homes where people were still living were boarded up and their possessions were thrown in a dumpster. In some cases when realtors scrambled to board up properties themselves, the prosecutor said, the mayor and Bouthillette would order the boards torn down and Bouthilette re-boarded them.
When people questioned the mayor about what was going on, Donnelly said, they were told by Moreau to "mind your own bleeping business." He said the mayor's behavior "progressed to intimidation and people did mind their own business. Even the city's legal department" did not challenge Moreau, Donnelly said.
Speaking on behalf of Moreau, Murphy, the former Speaker of the RI House of Representatives, said the former mayor was not involved in extortion, "this was not the Brinks robbery."
Murphy claimed the board-up work was done for the "health, safety and welfare of the community." The structures that were boarded up "were health hazards," he said. "Some were stripped for copper, some were stripped for belongings, some of them became drug houses.
U.S. Attorney Peter Neronha and state Attorney General Peter Kilmartin were in the courtroom to hear the sentences handed out.
Afterwards, Neronha said, "Is it really that difficult to know how to or when to do the right thing? If someone is giving you something and you are not paying for it, if that doesn't send up a red flag, I don't know what does." Directing his comments at other elected officials, the U.S. Attorney added, "Follow the law, uphold your oath, serve the people of the city or town or the state or federal government that you represent and don't serve your own interests."
In his own statement, Kilmartin said, "I consider this a good day for Central Falls, it is a bad episode they can put behind them."
Gov. Lincoln Chafee sounded a similar theme.
Chafee Spokeswoman Christine Hunsinger said, "Rhode Island needs to send a message that corruption is unacceptable and that while these instances are unfortunate for the individuals they are good for Rhode Island, it shows that Rhode Island won't tolerate corruption."
Central Falls Mayor James Diossa said Moreau's sentencing "brings to an end a sad chapter in our city's history.
"We must rededicate ourselves to building an honest and ethical city government that delivers city services to everyone equally, regardless of political affiliation or connection to City Hall," Diossa added in a written statement. "We simply cannot go back to the mismanagement and corruption that plagued our city for years."
Moreau was elected mayor in 2003 and served until September of last year, when he agreed to plead guilty to the corruption charge.

'Celebrate CB Receives 'Must See' Designation, Attendees Have Chance To Win Cash Prizes
DES MOINES, Iowa - Iowa Lottery players have the chance to win cash prizes at the Celebrate CB festival this weekend in Council Bluffs as part of a promotion from the Iowa Tourism Office and Lottery.
The Lottery will make a "Silver Ticket Cash Stop" at the Council Bluffs festival, which has been designated as one of just 25 "must-see" Iowa events by Tourism and the Lottery.
During the Cash Stop, lottery players can enter nonwinning tickets in "The Silver Ticket" instant-scratch game in a contest for four cash prizes totaling $1,000. The Council Bluffs festival is the first of the 25 events that the Lottery will visit throughout the spring and summer on its Cash Stop tour.
This is the second year for a summer travel project from Tourism and the Lottery to highlight the travel opportunities in Iowa. This year's project is being called the "Silver Ticket Celebration" in honor of the lottery's 25th anniversary. And the lottery game that is the key to it all is The Silver Ticket, a $5 scratch game that celebrates 25 years of lottery entertainment in Iowa.
Those who buy a ticket in The Silver Ticket game can win instant prizes ranging from $5 up to $25,000. And if you don't win a cash prize, you can enter your ticket in a contest at a Silver Ticket Cash stop or choose from two other value-adding options:
"We know people are putting even more emphasis on good value now than ever before, so we decided to use the statewide promotional power of the Iowa Lottery to team with great events and offers coordinated by Iowa Tourism," said Iowa Lottery CEO Terry Rich. "This fits the bill perfectly by offering savings opportunities at destinations across the state and the chance to win prizes at local fairs and festivals."
Legislation authorizing a lottery in Iowa was signed into law on April 18, 1985, and the Iowa Lottery sold its first tickets during a kick-off celebration on Aug. 22, 1985.
A list of the 25 events that have been chosen as must-see Silver Ticket Cash Stop contest locations is below. During each event, the Lottery will hold a contest to give away prizes of $100, $150, $250 and $500 (a total of $1,000 at each event). Visitors to each event can enter the local contest with nonwinning tickets in The Silver Ticket game.
The Lottery's Silver Ticket Cash Stop in Council Bluffs will be from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday inside the Main Street Café at 102 S. Main St. The lottery will announce the winners of the contest's four cash prizes at 1:45 p.m. Saturday at the performance dome in Bayliss Park.
"We're offering folks another summer to get out and explore Iowa - and save money or win cash prizes while they're doing it," said Nancy Landess, manager of the Iowa Tourism Office.

SALT LAKE CITY - Got a bright idea for making Utah, Wyoming or Idaho greener? Could you use a little green to help make your renewable energy project a reality? Rocky Mountain Power is now accepting applications to receive funding for community-based renewable energy projects through its Blue Sky renewable energy program.
To be considered in this competitive application process, interested parties must complete and submit an application form along with supporting materials by 5 p.m. on June 15, 2012.
The amount available for funding awards is limited and varies year to year. In 2011, Rocky Mountain Power's Blue Sky program committed a total of more than $1 million for 13 renewable energy projects in its service area. This funding is made possible thanks to participating Blue Sky customers.
For the past 12 years, Rocky Mountain Power's voluntary Blue Sky program has provided an easy and convenient way for customers to support renewable energy development in the western region, separate from the utility's diverse mix of energy resources that serve all customers. Since 2006, participating Blue Sky customers also have helped fund more than 75 new community-based renewable energy projects in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho.
Renewable energy projects eligible for Blue Sky funding awards may include those that support new electricity development and generation through wind, solar photovoltaic, biomass, wave, landfill gas, certified low-impact hydro, pipeline or irrigation canal hydropower and geothermal.
Blue Sky funding is available for projects in Rocky Mountain Power's service area that are locally owned and have a generating capacity of less than 10 megawatts of electricity. Projects must be completed by Dec. 31, 2013. Preference is given to projects with a strong educational component and community benefits that bring a broader understanding of renewable energy development and generation, and/or further research and development of new renewable generation technologies.
Funding is not available for off-grid or residential projects, for passive or thermal solar energy projects, or for geothermal or biomass heat pump systems. Other restrictions also apply. For detailed criteria on project qualifications and application forms, please go to www.rockymountainpower.net/blueskyfunds.
Entries should be thorough, and should be submitted with supporting materials such as photographs, schematics, drawings, cut sheets, narratives, construction bids and financial information; or anything else the applicant considers useful in the project evaluation.
Materials may be submitted by mail, fax or e-mail to:
Rocky Mountain Power Attn: Blue Sky Fund Award One Utah Center - 24th Floor 201 S. Main, Salt Lake City, UT 84111 Fax: 1-800-754-3114 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
More than 37,600 Rocky Mountain Power customers are currently enrolled in Blue Sky. All Blue Sky dollars are used within the scope of the program and the company does not profit by offering Blue Sky to customers. Separate from Blue Sky, Rocky Mountain Power is the second largest regulated utility-owner of wind-powered generation in the nation.
How Blue Sky Works: When a customer enrolls in Blue Sky, Rocky Mountain Power purchases renewable energy certificates on their behalf from wind energy facilities in the western United States. The program is Green-e Energy certified by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions, verifying that customers are supporting new renewable resources in compliance with environmental and consumer protection standards. Blue Sky funds also help support the development of smaller-scale renewable energy projects in local communities. For more information, or to sign up for Blue Sky, visit www.rockymountainpower.net/bluesky or call anytime, toll free at 1-800-769-3717.

PROVIDENCE — Winning has become contagious for Cumberland High's athletic department, spreading from one season to the next.
With the fall producing a Super Bowl champion along with the state's top male cross-country runner (Trevor Crawley), the pressure fell squarely on the Clippers' winter sports' entries to keep the good times flowing. Crawley kept up his end of the bargain when the swift 12th grader captured the 3,000-meter run at the R.I. Indoor Track & Field Championships two weekends ago.
Sunday, on Brown University's campus, another Cumberland team basked in the glow of another major title as the boys' basketball team held off a gutsy Shea squad, 60-54, to capture the Division II championship.
Cumberland athletic director Frank Geiselman should think long and hard about placing an order for a new glass case to house all the hardware his athletes and coaches have reaped during the 2012-13 academic year. That's considered a good problem for Geiselman to have on his hands, but it also speaks the roll of sporting excellence the Blue & White are enjoying.
"Hopefully the kids in the town are getting excited," said Cumberland head coach Gary Reedy, who coached Sunday's game with a heavy heart after burying his father, Larry, who passed away last Tuesday at the age of 82, approximately 24 hours before "Game Time."
The Clipper players provided their coach with a welcomed respite during this trying period. They also ended a serious drought, becoming the first Cumberland basketball squad to win a title since Franklin D. Roosevelt was in the White House; the 1935-36 season produced a Class C crown.
"To bring home a championship (for the first time in nearly eight decades), that's crazy," remarked senior point guard Tom Lazaras. "We're representing our school well."
If game MVP honors were handed out, chances are Dylan Boisclair would have been the overwhelming choice. Cumberland's senior big man closed with a game-best 22 points while corralling 11 rebounds. Boisclair netted five field goals in each half as Cumberland ended up shooting 21-for-48 from the field (43.7 percent).
Not to be outdone was Lazaras' well-rounded contribution (21 points, five assists, four steals). Cumberland's sparkplug went to the free-throw line 14 times over the final 1:33, swishing nine.
"If I just got the ball in my hands, I'd knew I could knock down some free throws that would ice the game," smiled Lazaras.
From Shea's vantage point, Sunday's setback at the Pizzitola Sports Center did not spell the end of the season. Like the Clippers, the Raiders now turn their attention to the 16-team open state tournament that gets underway Wednesday. Cumberland is locked into the No. 4 spot with signs pointing toward a "Round of 16" matchup with No. 13 Prout.
As for Matt Pita's Raiders, the 12th seed appears theirs and with it an opening-round contest with Division III winner and No. 5 seed North Smithfield believed to be in the cards.
"The best thing about coaching this game is that it's not your final game," Pita stated. "You know that you're going back at it (come Monday)."
Shea senior Eli Itkin scored 14 of his team-high 17 points in the second half while Tito DoCouto collected 17 points. It was DoCouto who helped keep the Raiders afloat in the first half; all six of his points came after snaring offensive rebounds.
The game's defining moment came when Cumberland reserve Mitchell Baxter drilled a 3-pointer that put his squad up 46-40 with under four minutes remaining. Separation had been hard to come by after a Boisclair free throw tied the game at 28-all at 12:06 of the second stanza.
"When Mitch hit that shot, I thought it was the dagger," remarked Cumberland senior guard Ben Bradley.
Each time Cumberland scored early in the final stanza, Shea answered right away. There were three ties before Boisclair scored off glass after a nice feed from Greg Joubert (six points, nine rebounds) that put the Clippers ahead, 36-34. The Raiders responded as Chris Luciano nailed a trey from roughly the same spot on the floor where he connected during the closing stages of Friday's overtime contest against West Warwick.
Shea's 37-36 advantage proved fleeting thanks to Boisclair, who on the ensuing possession caught the ball at the foul line and drove for an easy score – one that as it turns out put Reedy & Co. up for good.
"I knew I was the biggest player out there and just had to be strong and tough," said Joubert about his performance. "(Lazaras and Bradley) really open up the floor for me."
Baxter's timely make from downtown was one of two 3-pointers Cumberland's bench contributed. Junior Grant Osmundson connected from deep in the first half to extend what was a one-point Clipper lead to 21-17.
"Baxter," sighed Pita when reminded of the shot that pinned the Raiders in a two-possession hole.
Now cooking with gas, Cumberland enjoyed its biggest lead on the afternoon (52-41) after two makes from Lazaras at the charity stripe with 1:33 left. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Itkin and DoCouto helped trim Shea's deficit to 55-49 with 59.2 ticks flashing on the scoreboard, but the Raiders proved unable to draw any closer.
Trouble seemed to be afoot after Lazaras picked up his second foul 3:40 into the game, but Reedy elected not to sub. With Bradley struggling to find the rhythm, the Clippers turned to Boisclair, who wasted little time attacking the rim upon receiving the entry feed.
"Our team has a tendency to get in foul trouble, which makes it harder for us offensively," noted Bradley, who managed just one field goal and five points. "Defensively is where we have to pay extra attention with everyone realizing that they have to play a little smarter."
A charged-up Shea team scored the first six points of the second half to go ahead 28-27 with a drive to the rim by Itkin capping off the brief but important flurry. On the flip side, Cumberland opened the second half with four misses and three turnovers.
"Coach called a timeout and calmed us down, telling us to run our sets on offense like we always do," said Bradley about the mood on Cumberland's bench after Shea's strong start.
"We loosened up," Reedy summed up.
Looking ahead, Boisclair feels that no one should sleep on the Clippers. "We can do a lot more. I think we can go into the open tournament and do a lot of damage. That's what we're looking forward to."

YARMOUTH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Experts say in a couple of years Maine's 65 and older population will reach twenty percent. that means the rate of accidents involving seniors will continue to rise.
But deciding when elderly drivers should turn in their car keys remains a difficult and emotional issue. It's something Majorie Perkins never takes for granted.
"It's very important, it really is I do volunteer work and I couldn't do that. it's m life really driving," said Majorie Perkins..
This 87-year old widow drives five to six days every week. But most importantly it helps her maintain her independence.
Perkins has never had an accident or a ticket. This grandmother is in good health and doesn't have vision problems. Still, Perkins worries about losing her driving privileges because of her age.
While research shows around the age of 65 drivers face a heightened risk of being involved in an accident, experts say age is not the sole indicator of driving ability. Dr. Daniel Onion is a geriatric specialist. He says physical disabilities, mental illness, medications, loss of vision or frailty may require a senior to 'retire' from driving.
He says the majority of people who have to stop driving -- do so voluntarily. Only a small number of seniors aren't willing to give up the keys and it becomes a very difficult issue for the driver's family and friends.
"People don't know what to do and then if someone is cognitively impaired, do you take away the keys? Do you disable the car? Do you just talk them into it. It's only a small percentage," said Dr. Onion.
In Maine drivers 65 and older have to renew their diver's licenses every four years. They also must undergo a vision test every time they get their license renewed. But it doesn't detect physical problems or cognitive awareness.

An Oswego County man has been sentenced to more than seven years in federal prison for a multistate credit card scheme that ended with his arrest in January in Watertown.
Nathan L. Howard, 25, Williamstown, was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court, Utica, to 87 months in prison and ordered to pay $21,478 in restitution after Aug. 26 guilty pleas to four counts contained in a grand jury indictment alleging he made counterfeit credit cards and used the phony cards to make purchases. He also was ordered to undergo an additional three years of supervision upon his release from prison.
Mr. Howard and Ashley N. Perlmutter, 24, also of Williamstown, were charged with carding, a practice in which a hand-held skimming device is used to capture data from a credit card and a counterfeit card is produced using the data.
According to a federal complaint, Mr. Howard was a waiter at a chain restaurant in Thornton, Colo., where he was known as Daniel Howard and had provided a Florida drivers license as proof of his identity. After the restaurant received several complaints from customers alleging their credit cards had been compromised, it was determined that Mr. Howard had been their waiter.
Officers obtained a warrant to search Mr. Howards vehicle in January 2012 and allegedly found a hand-held skimmer and a Florida drivers license in the name of Robert Allen Banks, with Mr. Howards photo on it. Mr. Howard agreed to cooperate with the investigation and was not arrested at that point, but investigators later learned he had provided them with a fake local address.
A month later, customers who had been served by Mr. Howard at the Colorado restaurant complained that their credit card accounts were being used fraudulently in Reno, Nev. A warrant was issued for Mr. Howards arrest on charges of money laundering, theft, forgery, identity theft and possession of identity theft tools.
The two were arrested Jan. 2 in Watertown after going on a pre-Christmas shopping spree at area businesses. According to the plea agreement filed Monday, Mr. Howard admitted that on Dec. 21, 2012, he used a fake debit card to withdraw $509 from a KeyBank ATM in the town of Watertown, and to make a $34 purchase at Buffalo Wild Wings, 1290 Arsenal St., a $1,137 purchase at Walmart Supercenter on Route 3 and a $452 purchase at Target, also on Route 3.
He also admitted that on Jan. 2, he possessed a card encoder that he used to encode 560 access devices containing other peoples bank account numbers and personal information. The access devices had been issued by 88 separate financial institutions, according to the agreement. He also admitted that he possessed a handgun after previously having been convicted of a crime.
Federal charges were dismissed against Miss Perlmutter in February. She pleaded guilty in May in Jefferson County Court to petit larceny and third-degree identity theft, admitting that on Dec. 21, 2012, she stole property from Target on Route 3 by acquiring the property while assuming a name other than her own. She subsequently was sentenced to time served at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building.

Jefferson County has a vast pool of workers with manufacturing experience eager to work a trend highlighted by the 800 applicants who applied for 55 job openings at New York Air Brake in Watertown over the past two weeks.
Cheryl M. Mayforth, director of the Workplace employment agency in Watertown, said Tuesday the workers can be a catalyst for economic growth in Jefferson County, which the U.S. Census Bureau recently named the fastest growing county in the state. In 2012, the countys active work force climbed from approximately 49,000 to 54,000 people.
Mrs. Mayforth said the job openings at Air Brake, which is interviewing candidates, will take a small bite out of the roughly 600 manufacturing jobs lost during the national recession that struck in 2008.
About 600 candidates applied for 50 production jobs at the company, while about 200 applied for five warehouse positions. Workers will be paid up to $15 an hour.
Applicants included employed manufacturing workers and unemployed candidates with experience. With unemployment in Jefferson County at 12.4 percent, there are a lot of people seeking work.
Some of them are currently employed and looking for an increase in wages, said Mrs. Mayforth, though she could not say how many.
Mrs. Mayforth said the high number of applicants is evidence of the pool of skilled workers manufacturers can tap into. The windfall of jobs at Air Brake was the result of its decision to close its Knorr Brake Ltd. facility in Kingston, Ontario, and manufacture locomotive braking products at its headquarters at 748 Starbuck Ave. She said she hopes the 55 jobs created mark the start of a growth trend among manufacturers here.
And that room for growth is huge. Over the course of the recession from 2008 to 2011, employers cut staff or shut their doors. Among the casualties were Brownville Specialty Paper Products, 1 Bridge St., which lost 59 jobs when it closed in 2008; Northland Motor Technologies in Watertown, 968 Bradley St., which eliminated 62 jobs in 2010; and the Covidien plant on Faichney Drive one of Watertowns largest manufacturers which closed in 2011, leaving 320 jobless.
Were still making up for that deficit and our workforce will continue to grow, Mrs. Mayforth said. When businesses assess Jefferson Countys workforce, its position in between Canada and growing population, the future should look bright.
David J. Zembiec, deputy CEO for the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency, said regaining all of the manufacturing jobs lost during the recession might be unrealistic. Manufacturing in the United States has evolved greatly over the past decade as companies have managed to reduce staffs by operating more efficiently and using advanced technology. But nationally, he said, manufacturing seems to be making a comeback as companies are less willing to ship jobs overseas.
The comeback isnt going to be tit-for-tat because work that may have taken 10 people to do 10 years ago may be two today, Mr. Zembiec said. If you look at the 50 jobs (from Air Brake) compared to the several hundred lost, you can say thats a single blip. But 50 jobs in one move is a lot.

Mom outraged her son's killer being released from prison
EUGENE, Ore. - It was one of Lane County's most notorious crimes, called the "gang mom murder."
A teen was shot and killed, and two other teens were arrested. Then investigators discovered a local mom - who was an anti-gang activist - arranged the murder.
Now the shooter is about to be released from prison - and the victim's mother learned of the release by automated phone call.
On Mother's Day.
The murder victim's mother, Janyce Iturra, is angry her son's killer will soon walk the streets a free man. She worries Elstad hasn't done all his time behind bars.
"I don't have a whole lot," she said. "I lost his whole life but I hang onto those things that have his signature on it."
The so-called "gang mom" - Mary Thompson - is serving a 25 year sentence for ordering the hit on Aaron Iturra, who was going to testify against Thompson's son.
The shooter, Jim Elstad, and an accomplice both pleaded guilty to murder. Now Elstad is set to be released from prison on June 10.
Elstad shot and killed Iturra in October 1994 as the 17-year-old slept in the family garage in northwest Eugene.
Elstad pleaded guilty and received 16 years in prison.
"I would liked them to have the same sentence that I'm getting, death," Janyce Iturra said at the time. "I've lost one of my children, and if you've never lost, you have no idea what i'm going through."
Now, because of good behavior, Elstad is about to get out of prison more than three years early.
"I don't get my son back in any amount of years," Iturra said.
Iturra also believes Elstad hasn't served all his time. She thinks Elstad received a six month sentence for contempt of court. KVAL has been unable to confirm that sentence.

Mailbag: Why so little interest in A.J. Pierzynski?
Peter B in New York: "Although the Mets are a few years away from contending, why not bring in free-agent C AJ Pierzynski to add an element of toughness behind the plate, proven leadership and an aide to the young, talented pitchers the Mets have on the rise. Plus, his offensive output will be leaps and bounds over Thole."
Pierzynski, 36, hit .278 with 27 HR and 77 RBI in 135 games for the White Sox last season.
He has played in at least 120 games each of the last 10 seasons.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
There is no indication the Mets have interest in Pierzynski. Interestingly, other teams looking for a catcher, like the Dodgers, Mariners and Yankees, are reportedly not pursuing Pierzynski either.
The buzz in baseball is that Pierzynski is most interested in either re-signing with the White Sox, where he's played the last eight seasons, or sign with the Rays (in Tampa where he lives in the off season). However, the White Sox don't seem to aggressive in bringing him back either, saying many times they're more than fine going with the younger Tyler Flowers instead.
Initially, it was reported Pierzynski was seeking at least a two-year, $16 million deal. Based on the above, though, I'm guessing he could soon be considering a one-year offer.
I've heard speculation that National League teams are shying away from him because he'll need more days off in the coming seasons, and American League teams just don't like his attitude and style having competed against him the last decade.
I'd be interested in him for one season, but I'd be reluctant to commit to him beyond that given his age and the number of games he had caught during the last decade. However, as he reduces his demands, I bet other teams get involved again, including the White Sox.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The legislature is hoping to come up with some ideas to provide more jobs...and prepare more people to fill them.
A special joint committee on "Workforce Training and Maine's Economic Future" held its first public hearing today in Augusta. The committee is the idea of Democratic leaders, who announced the plan as their first action after becoming the majority party in the legislature.
The committee has an equal number of members from both parties., similar to the Regulatory Reform committee launched two years ago by republicans, when they were in the majority.
Rep. Seth Berry (D-Bowdoinham), co-chair of the committee, says they will focus on ways to improve training for current and future members of the labor force, ways to help downtowns grow and then ideas to help small businesses grow. The work starts with the workforce component, and committee members heard from a former state economist and several business leaders at their meeting today. Legislators say the workforce training portion is especially important, to make sure people can fill the jobs that are available.
The committee will hold a special public forum in Bangor next Wednesday, February 6 at Rangely Hall at Eastern Maine Community College. They plan several other public sessions later in the winter, along with regular meetings in Augusta. They plan to develop a variety of bills to be voted on by the full Legislature this year.

Phoenix City Council to consider anti-bias measure
PHOENIX — The Phoenix City Council is scheduled Tuesday to consider a
proposal to expand the city's anti-discrimination law to include protections for
gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people in city contracts, housing,
employment and public accommodations such as restaurants.
The city prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion,
sex, national origin, age, genetic information and marital status.
Mayor Greg Stanton said the changes would help Phoenix compete with cities with
similar laws. He said approval of the proposal would mean employers could not
fire someone for being gay and a hotel could not turn away a same-sex couple.
The proposal has drawn opposition from social conservatives and the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Phoenix.
The diocese contends the proposal is too broadly worded and that it could
trample on religious liberties.

Doc (1971)
Most westerns wrap their stories, legends really, with a light clothing of history and period. Any history found in them is usually a mix of legend and fantasy. By way of contrast, in this film, an attempt is made to accurately portray the lives and persons of Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, and the now-legendary events that took place in the town of Tombstone. Those looking for fast-paced action will be disappointed in this film, as it deals more in psychological character studies than action. Sheriff Wyatt Earp (Harris Yulin) is shown to be a fairly ordinary politician, and the romance of Doc Holliday (Stacy Keach) and Kate Elder (Faye Dunaway) is highlighted. As it must, however, the film concludes with the well-known gunfight at the O.K. Corral ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
