Firefighters douse a stubborn fire in the attic of a Brown Street residence.
WINDSOR, Mass. — The body of a Peru man was discovered in Windsor on Friday morning.
Investigators say the body of 62-year-old Thomas Keeley of East Windsor Road was found off River Road in Windsor about 8 a.m. Friday.
Police say the death does not appear to be suspicious at this time. The investigation is being conducted by state police detectives assigned to the district attorney's office.
WINDSOR, Mass. — Five local fire departments were braving frigid temperatures on Wednesday to battle a structure fire at 1061 Cheshire Road.
The blaze was reported at about 3:23 p.m. at the single-family home along the rural road near the town line with Cheshire.
Dalton, Savoy, Worthington and Plainfield volunteer fire departments responded to the scene along with Windsor firefighters.
The home is owned by a James Lewis, according to documents on file at the Registry of Deeds.
Adams Fire Department and Forest Wardens are standing by for Windsor, with a firetruck and a tanker from the Forest Wardens.
Cheshire and Lanesborough departments were also asked to respond at about 5:40 p.m. Peru and Hinsdale, which sent a bus with portable heaters, also responded.
The Red Cross was also going to the scene to provide assistance to the family, two adults and a child.
Red Cross officials say the Lewises are being provided with emergency shelter at a hotel and emergency funds for clothing, food, shoes and winter coats. They were also provided with "comfort kits," which contain toiletries like tooth brushes and razors.

Ensuring Success When Migrating Your Content to Drupal [January 8,2013]
Want to learn more about Acquia's products, services, and happenings in the Drupal Community? Visit our site: http://bit.ly/yLaHO5.
More frequently, companies are making the decision to standardize on Drupal as their default web platform. They are enthusiastically eliminating their hodgepodge of custom sites, proprietary community tools, and disparate Content Management Systems. However, extracting valuable content out of legacy sites can be a significant challenge.
In this webinar, Acquia's Moshe Weitzman and Mike Ryan will walk through best practices for migrating data to Drupal. They will review all phases of a migration project, including assessment, development, execution, quality assurance and launch. They will also cover tools, such as the Migrate module and Drush.
This session is applicable to architects and developers who are evaluating Drupal or embarking on a migration project to a new or existing Drupal website.
Attendees will learn:
• How to plan a successful Drupal migration project
• How to take advantage of Migrate module to move data out of structured data sources or legacy systems like Vignette or Jive
• How to configure the Drupal destination to receive migrated content
• How to execute a data migration successfully

Fred Meyer scores best in review of proposals for Civic Stadium
EUGENE, Ore. - A proposal to build new retail and housing on the site of Eugene Civic Stadium scored best in a review of offers for the land owned by the Eugene 4J School District.
The plan from Master Development LLC and Powell Development Co. of Eugene, Ore., scored 85.2 out of 100 points possible in an evaluation by the school district staff. The proposal calls for removing the stadium from the National Register of Historic Places and demolishing the existing structure.
Master wants to build a 100,000 square foot Fred Meyer on the south end of the property. The project would also include apartments. Fred Meyer representatives said the store would be much smaller than the one on West 11th.
The proposals were evaluated based upon revenue (50 pts), additional benefit to school district 4J (20 pts), community benefit (20 pts), and preservation of the stadium (10 pts).
A proposal by the Eugene YMCA to remove the stadium and build a new Y facility scored 74.3 points.
In response to the preliminary point totals as tabulated by the Civic Site Review Committee, the YMCA offered the following comment:
"The Y remains confident that our offer to 4J provides significant financial revenue that is in close competition with the other proposal under consideration. Our cash payment is within 8% of their offer and we feel our ground lease offer represents a competitive option, as well.
"What remains, then, are the other considerations as outlined in 4J's Request for Proposals: Community Benefit and Benefits to the kids, families and staff of 4J. We are steadfast in our belief that our proposal is unmatched in qualities that deliver these benefits to the kids, families, adults and seniors of our community.
"With the proposals' financial returns to the district so closely competitive with one another, we trust that the School Board will consider the benefits to our community's health and livability as the factors that determine the future of this site and its neighborhood."
Scores closer for cash sale
The two high scores both came for the proposals if the district leased the land for re-development. If the district sells the land for cash, the scores come much closer: 68.5 for the Master plan and 67.3 for the YMCA.
All of those redevelopment options scored ahead of the Save Civic Stadium proposal, which calls for leasing the land and rehabilitating the facility for use as a multi-sport venue. That plan scored 42.5 out of 100. | More background about the proposals
The school board will review the list and may ask the groups to make live presentations to the board.
School district staff has proposed having the board meeting April 6 to discuss the proposals and decide whether or not to seek live presentations. Live presentations would tentatively be delivered April 13.
Because Oregon law allows government bodies to meet in executive session without the public present to discuss real estate transactions, much of that discussion will take place behind closed doors. The board must meet in public to cast a vote on what to do with Civic Stadium, however.
The board next meets Wednesday, March 16. | Agenda

TWO WEEKS TO FORGET: Boston 6, NYI 2As memorable as the wins vs. Detroit, Chicago & NJ
I was tempted to write this after the game yesterday, but held off. Now, after tonight's season finale 6-2 loss to Boston, it's official.
These final two weeks of the Islanders' feel-good second half were a disaster. Disappointing. Troubling.
Respectfully, there comes a point when it's no longer about injuries, lack of practice time, the Bridgeport shuttle and anything else you want to throw into the excuse machine. That point arrived this weekend, when the Islanders showed nothing on their Fan Appreciation Days to end the season.
In support of their 30th-place hockey team in this faded arena, the crowds were surprisingly large. Under no pressure but to give 30,000 fans a going-away smile, the home team came up shockingly small.
Buffalo, eliminated from the playoffs, crushed Carolina on Thursday and creamed Boston last night. The Bruins, with nothing to play for and with Zdeno Chara on vacation, walked into the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Easter Sunday and out-worked, out-played and out-everythinged the Islanders in front of their fans. Inexcusable.
The bottom line is this: go ahead, write off April. That includes today, yesterday's fight-free non-event against the Flyers, the 6-1 loss in Pittsburgh, 9-0 all-timer in Carolina, scraping by Tampa Bay last Saturday at home, the 5-1 embarassment to Montreal at the NVMC and 5-3 defeat in Washington on April Fools' Day.
Fine. Pretend none of it ever happened. Tell yourself it was all about the goaltending.
And then while you're at it, burn the tapes of 2-0 in Detroit, 4-2 in Chicago, the home wins against Brodeur and the Devils and most of the feel-good wins that came before the April storms. Look it up: were the lineups from this weekend compared to those wins markedly different?
After today's game, Scott Gordon blockered a question about any home stretch distaste souring his team's happy second half recap. "I've got some thoughts on that," said the coach, "but it's time to put the season behind us."
Fair enough. Gordon certainly knows his team better than anyone else. He is very optimistic about the direction of the team, and players like Kyle Okposo, Mark Streit and Frans Nielsen give him every reason to be.
Still, many fans and observers were labeled buzz-kills for not getting all lathered up about some of those second-half wins with nothing on the line. What do we say now? Were these last two weeks all about the goaltending? Were they simply the result of a thinned-out lineup hitting the wall?
The Islanders better hope so.
ETC: After Gordon mentioned in the post-game how the return of Rick DiPietro could make a huge difference next season, I asked the coach if he's talked to the goalie recently. "He's upbeat," Gordon said of DiPietro. "I don't have the specifics of a timetable for you, but we're optimistic. Rick fully expects to be on the ice in mid-summer."
Non-stop Lottery posts around the corner.

I just purchased an Ipod Itouch 16G 'open box' for what I thought was a great price after shopping around for a long time. It has arrived and is wonderful. It is in perfect condition and seems to work perfectly. Not being a true 'techie', I appreciated how the site differentiates clearly that something is 'open box', 'refurbished', etc. This site did not disappoint and I would not hesitate to purchase here again.- Kellie M. (Louisa, VA)
I purchased a I pod mini 2nd. Gen. And the battery only lasted 2 hours after full charge. I tried this for 5 attempts. I called Tech for less and with no problem they sent me another unit that looks like new and works great. This company is the best, and honest!!!.Thank you again for all you have done for me.

Over the past week or so, we at Pure Mobile have been fussing quite a bit over the new Galaxy S4 and all the latest accessories for it. But we're also pretty pumped about another new Android phone, and we're really excited about the new arrival at our shop of a slew of cool HTC One accessories and carrying cases.
Back at the end of February, when the HTC One was unveiled, we gave you the lowdown on the phone's sleek, lightweight design and top-of-the line screen and interface. And now that its actually arrived, we're just as eager to give you the lowdown on the huge range of HTC One accessories now available.
Some of the leading accessories makers are turning their attention to the latest HTC phone, with popular carrying cases like OtterBox's Defender and Commuter now available for the HTC One. Both are already among the most protective and highest rated carrying cases for other phones, like the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4. And the models for HTC One are no different.
Likewise, Incipio's also released their own HTC One accessories, with a model of their popular Feather carrying case for the latest HTC device. As with models for other devices, the Feather still offers rugged protection in a slim, lightweight case.
And of course, it's only to be expected that there be a few official HTC-branded accessories in the mix as well, like the Double Dip hardshell case and Double Dip Flip case for HTC One, both of which are stylish, sophisticated, and in keeping with the overall look of the HTC One.
There are plenty of other options as well when it comes to new HTC One accessories, from more heavy-duty cases to slim, minimalist protection. And, as much as the Galaxy S4 seems to be the star among new smartphones, all the attention being paid to the HTC One from accessories makers just goes to show that this is one phone that's got star quality of its own.

Fischer launched its revolutionary Crown technology in 1976: the world's first universal climbing system which delivers impressive performance without any waxing at all and in practically all temperature and snow conditions. Further developments have followed all the time ever since.
The very successful Premium Crown is one of the most well-known examples of how the decades of experience lead to ever improving kick and glide behaviour. The new Vario Crown now takes the system to an even higher level of performance.
This cutting pattern which was developed in elaborate tests ensures previously unattained efficiency in motion. In what is perfect interaction with the successful and proven Single and Double Crown units for a direct, powerful kick action, the newly developed Gliding Crown sections with their rounded profile guarantee maximum ease when gliding.
The optimum tuning of the climbing and gliding system elements is the secret behind the versatility in use in all snow conditions. Icing up and waxing are a thing of the past for the new Vario Crown. When grip and glide come together in such a way then nothing can get in the way of enjoying the winter experience.

If you're looking to create a more personal greeting card and the thought of glue sticks and glitter scares you, try your hand at a video card. With Windows Movie Maker you can create and share a great-looking video card out of your favorite photos in just a few simple steps.
You can make cards for birthdays, to share vacation pics, or to say "thank you." Then take advantage of the easy-to-use tools that make it a snap to edit, add transitions, and music. When you're done, upload it straight to Microsoft OneDrive, YouTube, or Facebook. Sound good? Let's get started!
Movie Maker
Your own photos or videos
An Internet connection
Now, it's time to add the photos you want to share. Just click the white box on the right where it says Click here to browse for videos and photos. Select all your files by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing A, or select just certain files by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking the photos and videos you want to include. Or just drag your photos into the box. When you've selected the images you want, click OK.
In the Home tab, click Title to add a title slide to your video card. Name your card whatever you want. Get creative!
Now that your title and credit slides have been added, it's time to make sure everything is in the right order. Move the title slide to the very beginning of the movie and the credit slide to the end (if it's not already there) by dragging it to the right place. This will frame up the beginning and end of your video card. And if you want your photos to appear in a particular order, you can arrange them in the same way.
Be sure to take advantage of the Movie Maker AutoMovie themes, which automatically build in fun visual effects and transitions. To change your theme, go to the Home tab and select a different theme in the AutoMovie theme section. (Point to a theme for a preview.) After you click a new theme, you'll be prompted to add music.
Tip: As you play around with themes, you might notice that a black screen or extra title screen sometimes appears in your picture sequence. Go ahead and delete any slides you don't want.
Adding text to your video card is a snap (and you don't have to worry about penmanship). Click the photo you want to add text to, and then click Caption on the Home tab. You'll see a text box appear on the photo—just type in your caption. Then, if you want, you can change your font style, adjust size and color, and move the text box.
Rolling credits can put the finishing touches on your card—so if you want credits to appear, make sure you choose a theme that includes them. Then, simply double-click the little pink box that appears under each credit slide and fill out the text box that appears in the picture.
You're done—that was easy, right? Sharing your video is just as simple. To upload to sites like Facebook, OneDrive, and YouTube, just click the appropriate icon in the Share group on the Home tab, and then follow the instructions. To burn your masterpiece onto a DVD that you can send in the mail, click Save movie, and then Burn a DVD.
So there you have it: a fun, digital alternative to the traditional greeting card.

Reese Witherspoon made her first post-arrest appearance on the red carpet last night -- where she was sporting that same wry smile as she had during her mug shot.
The actress and her husband Jim Toth were both on hand for the premiere of "Mud" in New York on Sunday evening, just two days after they were both arrested in Atlanta; Jim for DUI and Reese for disorderly conduct.
But last night, she looked great, attempting to put the whole thing behind her as she plastered a smile on her face and posed for photographers.
Wearing a short black dress and rocking that brunette hair she has for a new role, Witherspoon definitely didn't look like she just came from the big house.
Around the time of the premiere, Reese issued a statement about the arrest.
"Out of respect for the ongoing legal situation, I cannot comment on everything that is being reported right now. But I do want to say I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said. It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that was no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. I have nothing but respect for the police and I am very sorry for my behavior."
Check out more photos from the premiere above.

For the first time Microsoft Tag will be going to Colombia, South America. Tags will be a big part of the Caribe Impulsa, an innovation and socio-economic forum being held in Cartegena de Indias on September 5th and 6th.
Microsoft Tags will be placed on badges so attendees can get more information about the venue, the City of Cartagena and the forum topics and speakers. They will also be placed on brochures and convention advertising materials. Italian web agency mediaki.it created the custom Tags for Caribe Impulsa. The team also designed and developed the event's web and mobile applications.
But Tag will not be confined to the forum. Thanks to a partnership with the Cartagena's Chamber of Commerce, mediaki.it also created Tags for the city and its historical sights to create a more interactive experience for visitors.
The Tags will be put on removable poles and placed in front of the city's palaces and buildings during the forum as a pilot project that will lay the foundations for a future, permanent 2D solution for the city. Tag is the perfect tour guide.
What other ways can Tag be used during forums and conventions to make attendees' lives easier? Let us know with your comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

The Beermongers
1125 SE Division St., 234-6012, thebeermongers.com.
[BEER] At Beermongers, man is not so far removed from his ancestors. Huddled in a dark cave, hairy men drink and grunt undisturbed by modern digitized entertainment or the fairer sex. Has some guy ever brought a date to Beermongers? It's theoretically possible—there's no formal "No Girlz Aloud" sign—yet implausible given the bottle shop's brutish simplicity and paucity of décor. This is fine: We like beer, and the Mongers have much. Organizing brews by style is a great touch, and the guys who run the place can answer any question you can possibly dream up. If you'd prefer more of a scene, Apex is catty-corner. MC.
Shopping list: Hit the Oregon-only case to the right as you walk in.
Belmont Station & Biercafe
4500 SE Stark St., 232-8538, belmont-station.com.
[BEER] Once upon a time, Belmont Station was basically a glorified storage room for the legendary Horse Brass Pub. After an impressive expansion followed by a four-block move to Stark Street (remember: Belmont Station is not on Belmont Street), it's now one of Portland's largest beer shops. It also has a bar, which closes oddly early and doesn't sell fish or chips, but is otherwise pretty pleasant. Shoppers can find all the American craft brews available in the state and a decent selection of European imports, but there's also fierce competition for rare bottles, which disappear as soon as they hit shelves. The staff's helpfulness varies, but you'll definitely stumble onto something worth drinking. MC.
Shopping list: Hit the Belgian cooler by the door to the cafe, which has some gems.
Blackbird Wine Shop
4323 NE Fremont St., 282-1887, blackbirdwine.com. Closed Monday.
[WINE, CHEESE] Picnicking? You supply the baguettes and Blackbird Wine Shop will supply the rest. A look inside Blackbird's "Atomic Cheese" case yields all sorts of temptations, including Portland Creamery artisan goat cheese. Another case holds pâtés, finocchiona salami (with fennel seeds) and other cured meats from Olympic Provisions. As for the wine, proprietor Andy Diaz is skillful at drawing out customers' preferences and leading them to their heart's desire. He is also the rare Portland wine dealer who genuinely likes rosé and carries more than a token selection. In his experience, the Beaumont neighborhood isn't big on trophy wines, so he isn't, either—what you'll find here are high-quality wines from lesser-known producers at affordable, clearly marked prices. AJ.
Shopping list: A quarter-pound wedge of perfectly aged Stilton cheese and a 2009 Selbach-Oster Blauschiefer Riesling.
5015 NE Fremont St., 287-7022, bottlesnw.com.
[BEER] Depending on what time you visit, Northeast Fremont Street's Bottles is a relaxed beer shop that invites you to sit and slurp your purchases along with a bite of house barbecue, or, as the evening passes, a lively bar that invites you to leave with an extra bottle of whatever you've been drinking. Either way, it works. More than a dozen cases of beers (400 labels and counting) from the Northwest and beyond line the walls, from pretty pints of Elysian Avatar Jasmine IPA to sour Upright Brewing ales and random lambics and dunkels. A tip: the price tag on top of each bottle is actually in-house price; they knock one or two bucks off if you take your purchase home. The taps change nightly or, ahem, "sometimes hourly," so you can always sip something new and good as you ponder what you want to buy this time. KC.
Shopping list: Anything from Heater Allen, a mixed sixer of IPAs (the "Mix Six" to-go deal lets you choose six different 12-ounce bottles for $10) and a game of Lord of the Rings pinball.
Bridgetown Beerhouse
915 N Shaver St., 477-8763.
[BEER] This dimly lit North Mississippi 'hood beer shop's business cards proudly read: "The second best beer shop in Portland." Who wouldn't want to buy Belgian and German suds, sixers of PBR and beloved micros from owner Mike Waite, with a sense of humor like that? Waite, who worked as a kitchen manager for McMenamins for years before opening Bridgetown on President Obama's inauguration day, is pretty much at the shop 24/7, so take advantage of his gregarious nature and knowledgeable palate to figure out which of his 500 high- and low-brow beers is right for you. Don't see what you want? He digs special orders. KC.
Shopping list: Elysian Brewing "Peste" Chocolate Chili Ale.
Clear Creek Distillery
2389 NW Wilson St., 248-9470, clearcreekdistillery.com. Closed Sunday.
[DISTILLERY] Steve McCarthy ranks among the top craft distillers in the country, laying the foundation for Oregon's current micro-distillery explosion. The variety of spirits birthed from Clear Creek's four copper-pot stills is mind-boggling: a half-dozen fruit brandies, just as many liqueurs, seven grappas and one amazing whiskey. The tasting room doesn't offer any discounts—prices are set by the OLCC—but you can sample the full range of McCarthy's genius. BW.
Shopping list: Barrel-aged eau de vie de pomme, cranberry liqueur.
2901 NE Alberta St., 281-2675, corkwineshop.com.
[WINE, CHOCOLATE, OIL, VINEGAR] My vote for Portland's most exuberant wine shop, Cork adds value with an impressive assortment of fine chocolates, fancy salts, olive oils, and balsamic vinegar from Modena (which you can pour yourself into refillable containers—nice!). At the other end of this sunny space sits a clawfoot bathtub filled with Champagne and other bubbles. Proprietors Darryl and Sarah Joannides (of Sellwood's late, lamented Assaggio Restaurant) and assistant Hilary Olson have written detailed wine descriptions to help you home in on a new favorite. If Cork were my neighborhood wine shop, I'd join its member program in a flash. Besides discounts on wine, the $100 annual fee gets you and a friend into a year's worth of Cork's $10-$15 Friday tastings for free. AJ.
Shopping list: The 2009 Oregon Pinot Noir "Alberta," a barrel selection made for Cork by Grochau Cellars Or Vergano, a chinato from a small Italian artisan distiller.
339 NW Broadway, 226-9463, corkscru.biz. Closed Sunday-Monday.
[WINE] Just as he did at the former Square Deal Wines, manager Dan Beekley keeps CorksCru at a nippy 57 degrees Fahrenheit, the better to protect his choice, 290-bottle array of small-production wines from the West Coast and the Mediterranean regions. Most are in the $20 to $30 range. If you come in looking for what he calls a "big-boy Burgundy" or a Veuve Clicquot, he can put you onto a lesser-known wine that is likely to be equally delicious and a far better value. Between his regular Friday tastings ("five wines at 5 pm for $5") and his wine-list consulting, Beekley stays busy; at present he's reportedly selecting the wines for the Pearl's soon-to-open Riffle NW seafood restaurant. AJ.
Shopping list: Estate-bottled Quinta de la Rosa Tawny Porto makes a good sipping companion during the long, cold wait for summer.
Division Wines
3564 SE Division St., 234-7281, divisionwines.com. Closed Monday.
[WINE] If you've been to Southpark, you've probably seen Will Prouty behind the bar. Prouty and his wife, Danyelle, started Division Wines last year—good timing, given the number of restaurants springing up all around them. (They're next door to the soon-to-be-resurrected Roadrunner; Cibo, a Bastas spinoff, will be right across the street; Xico, a Mexican joint, will be down the block.) Will Prouty is all about introducing people to lesser-known, often self-distributing wineries. Years of restaurant work have honed his empathy for wine drinkers of all stripes. "People don't want to be made to feel stupid," says Prouty. "They want people to listen and not lecture them." Like the customer who recently whispered to him, "Don't tell my husband, but what I really like are those oaky California chardonnays." AJ.
Shopping list: Biodynamic Côtes du Rhône from the old vines at a young estate called Domaine Rouge-Bleu, imported by Portland-based Estelle Imports.
E&R Wine Shop
6141 SW Macadam Ave., 246-6101. Closed Sunday-Monday.
[WINE] This might be the most meticulously organized wine shop in Portland. Its wall of Italian wines, for instance, is labeled according to Italy's 20 wine regions, and any of E&R's three partners will gladly help you sort the Barolos from the Barbarescos and the Tuscans from the Super Tuscans. Owners Ed Paladino, Richard Elden and Stephanie Sprinkle taste 80 to 90 wines a week, and only two or three make it into their inventory. On Saturdays they're always pouring something interesting, like an unusually grippy rosé of cabernet franc from Bourgueil, France. AJ.
Shopping list: A hearty 2008 shiraz from the gnarly old vines at Southeastern Australia's Wyndham Estate. It's on E&R's guaranteed "Critical List"—if you don't like it, you can trade it in for something else.
Garrison's Fine Wines
1401 SE Morrison St., 233-8060, garrisonsfinewines.com. Closed Sunday-Monday.
[WINE] Conveniently a few doors up from Nostrana, this small shop's strongest asset may be its friendly proprietor, a former high-school principal named Travis (Garrison) Fantz. Like many a wine monger, he started out as a collector, and his chilled, darkened wine vault harbors some hallowed Oregon relics, including Amity's 1976 Pinot Noir Nouveau and Adelsheim's first vintage, 1978. He keeps a good assortment of chilled whites, rosés and sparkling wines on hand; Portuguese labels (his "value" wines); California and Washington Cabs; dessert wines; and more. His themed Friday events, such as a recent tasting of the hard-to-get Cayuse wines from Walla Walla, draw Portland's wine-crawlers who make Garrison's a part of their regular circuit. AJ.
Shopping list: A deeply discounted 2000 Vignalta Colli Euganei Cabernet blend from Veneto, Italy.
Great Wine Buys
1515 NE Broadway, 287-2897, greatwinebuys.com.
[WINE] There is just no substitute for tasting. On my last visit here, urban winemaker John Grochau was pouring, and while I admired his elegant 2008 Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir, what really won my heart was his Columbia Valley Merlot-Cabernet blend, certainly one of the best bargains in the store. By "Great Wine Buys" I suspect they mean "It's great that we got these highly allocated wines, isn't it?" All the Northwest icons are here, from Washington's Woodward Canyon, Betz, and DeLille to Oregon's Patricia Green and Beaux Frères. Top California vintners occupy a central display, surrounded by German rieslings, Italy's killer "B's" (Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera), dessert wines and Champagne. Or you could take $105 of that and buy the shop's very eclectic "case of the month"—now that's an education. AJ.
Shopping list: Too impatient to age your own pinot? Great Wine Buys' cellared selections are old and fine.
Hollywood Fred Meyer
3030 NE Weidler St., 280-1300.
[WINE] For dirt-cheap pricing and a wide, deep selection of labels from around the globe, it's the wine department at the Hollywood outpost of local big-box Fred Meyer that gets high marks from oenophiles. "We're the largest wine department in Oregon or Washington. We have more than 3,000 different bottles," explains assistant wine steward Jody Ruff-Harcourt. "And [the neighborhood] has a savvy clientele." Each Fred Meyer is in charge of its own wine program (the Hawthorne store's is also pretty great), and at Hollywood, head steward Leslie Boom and her crew are friendly, crazy-knowledgeable and willing to pretty much special-order cases of anything a customer desires—at 10 percent over wholesale cost. Really like a wine at a restaurant? Snap a camera-phone photo of the bottle and they'll track it down for you. For everyday shoppers, a six-pack of mixed bottles will nab you 10 percent off at the register. KC.
Shopping list: Nice-priced Northwest, Greek, Portuguese, Italian, French and Spanish wines.
The Hop & Vine Bottle Shop
1914 N Killingsworth St., 954-3322, thehopandvine.com.
[WINE, BEER] In February, Overlook pub the Hop & Vine opened a bottle shop in the space adjacent to its North Killingsworth Street digs. Offering more hop than vine, the shop stocks a plethora of international and domestic microbrews, as well as some lesser-known gems, including bottles from Southern Oregon Brewing Company and Corvallis' Block 15, and at least three brands of gluten-free, sorghum-based beer. (And just to prove it's not too cool, the shop also carries six-packs of Coors Light and O'Doul's.) The wine selection is a bit slimmer, but the Northwest is well-represented, of course, and a rack in the back adds vermouth, sake, cider and mead to the mix. One cooler by the counter holds a small selection of individual drinks, but if you want your wine or beer chilled, you're better off heading to the bar next door. Check out the calendar on the website for frequent wine tastings and "meet the brewer" events. MHW.
Shopping list: Redstone Meadery's honey wine with juniper berries, yerba mate IPA from MateVeza, Grochau Cellars Pinot Noir.
The Hop Haven Beer Bar and Bottle Shop
2130 NE Broadway, 287-0244.
[BEER] The best part about the Hop Haven is its one-price-fits-all deal. Mix and match any six-pack of 12-ounce bottles for $8.70 or any 22-ounce bottle for $3.95-$4.95 to go. The 100-plus beers in the coolers are mostly domestic, with a lot of West Coast pales and IPAs. If you want to drink in-house, grab a bottle from the cooler and hand it to the bartender—he pops it, you drink it. Easy enough. If you're sticking around, there are also four rotating taps, booze and pretty good hand pies, pizzas and sandwiches. There's even a Ms. Pac-Man hungry for sad quarters. LC.
Shopping list: Elysian Immortal IPA in a six-pack.
House Spirits
2025 SE 7th Ave., 235-3174, housespirits.com. Closed Monday.
[DISTILLERY] The most renowned of Portland's new generation of craft distilleries also has the best tasting room, a fragrant beige-hued bar decorated with barrels and racks of House's signature labels—Aviation Gin, Krogstad Aquavit—and limited releases of rum, ouzo, coffee liqueur and whiskey in medicinal-looking bottles. One wall is devoted to the art of the cocktail, stocked with fine mixers (Fever-Tree tonic, Sanbitter soda), a dozen varieties of bitters, several cocktail manuals, and tools (shakers, bar spoons, mixing glasses) of the finest quality. BW.
Shopping list: House Spirits White Dog whiskey, a Boston strainer, all the Aviation you can drink.
John's Marketplace
3535 SW Multnomah Blvd., 244-2617, johnsmarketplace.com.
[BEER, WINE] Ah, nothing like a Saturday morning listening to Aerosmith's "Rag Doll" while perusing John's huge global inventory of bottled beers. If you're hankering to try a Czech Rebel, Estonian Saku Tume or Indian Maharaja beer, this is the place. Westsiders buy their kegs here, too, and the wine selection is nearly as diverse. Sometimes the employees make themselves scarce but it almost doesn't matter because there are so many of "Mr. Mike" Bascom's shelf-talkers (intermingled with New Yorker cartoons) to walk you through the wines and their flavor profiles. A sign on a cooler assures you that "Yes, you can drink rosé and still be a badass." AJ.
Shopping list: "Orange" wines from Manfredi and Francesco Guccione of Northwest Sicily (these are "natural" whites that get their color from extra grape-skin contact). Or choose one of a dozen solid Oregon pinots priced under $20.
Liner & Elsen Wine Merchants
2222 NW Quimby St., 241-9463, linerandelsen.com. Closed Sunday.
[WINE] Close to our hearts, and not just because it's downstairs from our office, 20-year-old Liner & Elsen has a remarkable selection of old and rare vintages (1991 Cayrou, anyone?), but the enormous, wide-ranging stock includes just as many amazing deals as it does luxury bottles. Check the monthly specials at the front of the store, where you'll find a dozen cases priced at under $15 per bottle. The store stocks plenty of small Oregon winemakers (Ken Wright Cellars, Teutonic Wine Company) and esoteric imports (Greece, Georgia). For a special occasion, you can't go wrong with Liner & Elsen's stock of rare and single-grower Champagnes. BW.
Shopping list: 2008 L'Ecole No. 41 Estate Merlot ($30.99).
Oregon Wines on Broadway
515 SW Broadway, 228-4655, oregonwinesonbroadway.com. Closed Sunday.
[WINE, BEER] This downtown tasting room/wine shop hybrid is serious but not solemn about wine—not with that disco ball over the bar and Joan Jett on the PA. Behind the long bar is an argon-gas rig for dispensing fresh pours of at least 36 red wines—30 of them Oregon pinot noir. For $10 you can have three 1.5-ounce tastes (recently it was 2009 pinots from Westrey, Soter and J. Christopher), or you can bump up to the $16 premium pour. This place wouldn't be my first choice for obtaining helpful advice on buying a bottle or case, at least not before 4 pm, when the bar heats up. A fair number of tourists stop in, but inside connections give the place a certain luster—several Oregon wineries do bottlings exclusively for proprietor Kate Bolling. AJ.
Shopping list: 2009 Cristom Mt. Jefferson Couvee Pinot Noir ($31.50).
Pearl Specialty Market and Spirits
900 NW Lovejoy St., 477-8604, pearlspecialty.com
[BEER, WINE, LIQUOR] One of the few liquor stores in Portland that doesn't make you feel like a degenerate, Pearl Specialty is about as swish as spirit shops are allowed to get in our Soviet-style control state: You can actually touch the bottles, and many of the bottles you can touch are very good. There's plenty of special-order spirits and top-shelf tipples in stock, but what really sets this store apart is that it's the only place in Oregon you can buy liquor, wine and beer in the one spot. The store about doubled in size two years ago, vastly expanding its beer department to be one of the—if not the—best on the west side of the river. The wine selection skews more to the cheap and quaffable, though there's a 2005 La Tâche for $5,000. You can't touch that one, though, you grubby degenerate. RB.
Shopping list: Vodka, tequila, beer.
The Portland Bottle Shop
7960 SE 13th Ave., 232-5202, pdxbottleshop.com. Closed Mondays.
[BEER AND WINE SHOP] Precious few bottle shops give beer and wine equal attention. More often, one child is favored, the other languishing on a rickety shelf back by the storage room. Sellwood's Portland Bottle Shop is run by a wine guy—owner Travis Motter is the sommelier who developed Laurelhurst Market's wine program—but he's thrown himself into suds, touring breweries, lining up special kegs and curating an excellent selection of brews. Housed in a warm nook of Sellwood's strip of antique shops, this boutique feels a lot like a small-town specialty shop. The chatty service and dainty snacks further that impression. When it comes to special beer releases, the trek through the cold, dark woods separating the isolated outpost of Sellwood from the rest of town means this shop will have something long after other shops' shelves have been picked clean. MC.
Shopping list: Bottles of beer, bottles of wine and maybe a cheese plate.
Portland U-Brew and Pub
6237 SE Milwaukie Ave., 943-2727, portlandubrewandpub.com.
[BREWING SUPPLIES] If you want to make your own beer, you want to start here. Greenhorns can have staff hold their hands through the brewing process, providing an extra set of eyeballs as they measure out ingredients and turn their mash into booze using the shop's cute little copper kettles. More advanced or adventurous would-be brewers will find the scalable supplies they need to do it at home—from glass carboys to Cornelius kegs—and an impressive selection of raw ingredients. The laziest among us can retire to the tasting room where the brewery pours its own brews (try the porter) and provides checkerboards and grilled cheese sandwiches. MC.
Shopping list: Whatever you're brewing, go with Wyeast Laboratories yeast, a world leader based in Hood River.
Portland Wine Merchants
1430 SE 35th Ave, 234-4399, portlandwinemerchants.com. Closed Monday.
[WINE] You may need a headlamp to explore this cave of a shop off Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard. The dim light and dusty atmosphere are perfectly suitable for storing wine, less so for reading the densely printed (and sometimes hyperbolic) shelf talkers. A clerk might help you find things, but only if you ask, so let me orient you. The south wall is France. The east wall is Oregon and California. The north wall is Italy—except toward the eastern end, where you get more California, along with Uruguay, Lebanon, Georgia (as in the former Soviet state), South Africa, Idaho and Australia. Oh, and also Portugal and Spain. The screaming bargains are the best lit, as they are right by the street door. Saturday and Sunday tastings are free from noon to 5 pm. AJ.
Shopping list: 2010 Raphael Verdicchio, a great dry white for a summer evening.
1004 N Killingsworth St., 206-4252, saraveza.com.
[BEER] What could be more Portland than a cozy neighborhood pub serving locally sourced eats, decorated with old-school Pabst signs and offering more than 250 microbrews stored in vintage coolers? How about that same pub hosting a monthly "Free Bacon Night"? At Saraveza, that's the second Monday of the month from 6 to 10 pm, when every pint sold comes with free smoked bacon. Saraveza does double duty as a bar and bottle shop: Walk in and put together a six-pack to go, or, more likely, sit down and have a pint to help you decide. The only good reason to take your beer home first is the "to go" prices, which claim to be practically as good as those at the supermarket. But how many supermarkets offer cans of Fort George Vortex IPA? MHW.
Shopping list: To-go 32-ounce jars filled from the tap ($1 more than the pint price), take-and-bake pasties, cans by Caldera Brewing and Anderson Valley.
Stone Barn Brandyworks
3315 SE 19th Ave., 775-6747, www.stonebarnbrandyworks.com.
[DISTILLERY] Sebastian and Erika Degens began distilling commercially less than a year ago, but their one-room warehouse, hidden away in a maze of streets by the railroad tracks south of Southeast Powell Boulevard, is already an essential stop for visitors to Portland's distillery row. The Degans have skipped the usual vodka-to-gin-to-whiskey business model of most of our small distilleries and jumped straight into the fun stuff: quince liqueur, rye whiskey (made from Bob's Red Mill rye flour), several varieties of pear liqueur and brandy, and a truly amazing strawberry liqueur. They distill in tiny batches and sell almost exclusively from the distillery, so watch the website for new releases. BW.
Shopping list: Quince liqueur, unoaked rye whiskey, apple brandy.
Storyteller Wine Company
5511 SW Hood Ave., 206-7029, storytellerwine.com. Open Friday and Saturday.
[WINE] Open just two days a week, this nondescript suite adjacent to Johns Landing offers a modest, eclectic array of wines, all from the Northern Hemisphere. You truly get the sense that proprietor Michael Alberty, the shop's "head storyteller," has handpicked each wine, and that each one has a story he can't wait to share. In fact, any winery seeking to stand out in a crowded marketplace would do well to get Alberty on its side, because he is a born buzz generator. JB.
Shopping list: 2011 Cameron Winery Giovanni.
Uptown Liquor
1 NW 23rd Place, 227-0338. Closed Sunday.
[LIQUOR] Dedicated cocktailians know this unassuming shop in a mini-mall just up the hill from the Northwest 23rd Avenue Gap store carries the broadest range of unusual spirits in town. Here you're guaranteed to find bottles from all the local distillers, plus mysteriously named liquors like Farigoule (made from thyme), Zirbenz (pine) and Aperol (bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb and cinchona). The bourbon selection is good, too; check out the Vintage Collection from Kentucky Bourbon Distillers. BW.
Shopping list: Owner Russ Kelley recommends Russell's Reserve Rye.
137 SE 28th Ave., 235-8545, vinobuys.com. Closed Monday.
[WINE] Vino proprietor Bruce Bauer recently relocated his shop from a sleepy Sellwood side street to Portland's eastside restaurant row. Another smart move: adding Sarah Egeland, a biodynamic wine enthusiast formerly of Cork, who hopes to teach wine-appreciation classes at Vino this summer. A recent Saturday pouring session felt like a foodie reunion, especially when chef's chef Robert Reynolds (whose own kitchen is nearby) strolled in with his poodle. Bauer brings a wicked wit to his quest for the best. As big a fan as he is of venerable Mediterranean wines, if he likes something, he will cast aside all snobbery. Hence the Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon for $9.95: "Once again the negociants at Avalon don't disappoint. These guys buy up excess cab juice from various locations around California, blend them, bottle 'em up, and ship them out to be poured into our grateful wine glasses. This drinks, again as always, as well as a lot of cabs costing $5 to $10 more a bottle." AJ.
Shopping list: 2008 Terra Andina Carmenere Reserve "Valle de Rapel".
1025 SW Washington St., 223-6002, vinopoliswineshop.com.
[WINE] This West End wine store easily has the largest range of vino in town. The warehouselike space is a maze of boxes and crates filled with bottles from all over the world (albeit with a heavy bent toward France), as well as a decent range of local labels. Don't be fooled by the unpretentious surrounds. There's some seriously spendy juice here—you can lay down $1,650 for futures of an '09 Lafite Rothschild. But although Vinopolis isn't the place to go for Two-Buck Chuck, there are also plenty of good buys around the $20 to $40 mark. Service is very hands-off (some find it cold, others refreshingly unobtrusive), but the staff knows its pinot from its primitivo, and will happily guide you through the liquid labyrinth to something matching your tastes and budget if prompted. RB.
Shopping list: Old World wines, good deals on wine by the case.
Woodstock Wine and Deli
4030 SE Woodstock Ave., 777-2208. Closed Sunday.
[WINE, BEER, CHEESE] Glen Fujino's spacious shop has kept Woodstock residents in wine, beer and cheese for 25 years. There are shops in town with wider and deeper selections, but few feel so neighborly. The Friday-night wine tastings have a devoted following, summer barbecue competitions fill the parking lot with hungry locals, and the annual anniversary party is the best bash in town. Fujino stocks a good variety of affordable wines from small Oregon producers, along with some very good Australian bottles and a few big-ticket Europeans. He can also procure a salmanazar of Perrier-Jouët Champagne, should you want to get an entire wedding soused. The beer case has plenty of fine local brews, and the deli carries a few good cheeses at good prices, plus caviar. BW.
Shopping list: Hair of the Dog Doggie Claws, Harris Bridge fruit wines, caviar.

Judge Paul L. Friedman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled on Wednesday in Halbig v. Sebelius that people who sign up for health insurance on federal exchanges in 34 states can get subsidies, disappointing those who thought that the courts would strike down the subsidies.
Despite the ruling, it seems clear that the Affordable Care Act is not working as intended. If the courts do not change it, it will surely need to be changed by Congress because of voter dissatisfaction. Enrollment is low, and only a quarter of enrollees are young people whose premiums are needed to subsidize the old and sick. When people get through on the website, many are finding that premiums and deductibles are higher than before, and that they do not have access to the doctors they saw previously.
Loophole lets bare-bones health plans survive
The health-care overhaul was supposed to eliminate insurance plans that offer skimpy coverage--but a legal loophole lets them survive, S&P has published their outlook for the corporate environment in 2014, plus a look at the markets.
The plaintiffs in Halbig v. Sebelius will no doubt appeal the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The verdict may well depend on which judges hear the case. In November, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Democrats eliminated filibusters for most judges and political appointees, allowing confirmation by a simple majority of 51 rather than 60 votes.
This allowed the Senate to confirm three new Obama appointees to the D.C. Circuit. Judges Patricia Millett and Cornelia Pillard were confirmed in December, and Robert Wilkins was confirmed on Monday.
Halbig v Sebelius was brought because under the letter of the Affordable Care Act, subsidies for insurance premiums are only available for state health insurance exchanges, not the 34 federal exchanges. But through regulation the Internal Revenue Service has extended subsidies to federal exchanges too.
Even though Halbig referred to 34 federally run exchanges, the final number this fall turned out to be 36, because several states could not fully qualify for administering their exchanges.
Judge Friedman sided with the government, ruling that Congress intended the subsidies to apply to federal exchanges, even though the letter of the law reads differently.
He writes, "In sum, while there is more than one plausible reading of the challenged phrase in Section 36B [i.e. the insurance subsidy on federal exchanges] when viewed in isolation, the cross-referenced sections, the surrounding provisions, and the ACA's structure and purpose all evince Congress's intent to make premium tax credits available on both state-run and federally-facilitated Exchanges."
One Minute Wine: Chardonnay
This versatile and popular white wine is often derided for being smothered in oak and lacking acidity. Will Lyons disagrees, showing — with Wither Hills Chardonnay from New Zealand — that you don't have to break the bank to find sensational Chardonnay.
Later this month, Judge James R. Spencer of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern Division of Virginia (Richmond) is expected to rule on the same challenge from another group of plaintiffs. Spencer's ruling, whoever wins, will also be appealed.
The implications of the case are immense. Since health insurance plans are costly, people on the federally run exchanges need subsidies to purchase them. If they do not qualify for subsidies, few will be able sign up.
Still, if the Affordable Care Act does not fail because of flaws in the law, it will likely be changed by Congress due to voter pressure. Already, the administration is delaying implementation of certain parts of the law because it is unworkable.
When Halbig v. Sebelius was filed in May 2013, the exchanges were not yet open for business. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, then House Speaker, famously said in March 2010, "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." She was wrong: Americans have to experience Obamacare to know what is in it, and they do not appear to like what they are experiencing.
Implementation of the Affordable Care Act appears to have six major problems.
People are not signing up
A new report released this week showed that only 2.2 million people enrolled for plans in the exchanges in October through December, compared to a forecast of 7 million. Of those 2.2 million, 24% were younger Americans aged between 18 and 34. The administration had forecast that 7 million people would sign up, and that 38% of them would be young people.

Patuxent River Blue Catfish Habitat Use and Movement Study
9/17/2013 | Posted by mgrovesTags: Recreational, Invasive
Biologists at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) are studying the habitat use and movement of blue catfish in the Patuxent River. In 2013 and 2014, blue catfish will be fitted with surgically implanted internal acoustic tags that transmit a signal to a line of receivers placed along the river allowing us to track their movement. The fish will be marked externally with a pink spaghetti tag. To find out more about this study please visit the SERC website www.serc.si.edu/labs/fish_invert_ecology/invasives/overview.aspx or contact Matt Ogburn at 443-482-2203.
Tag Color: Pink - Length: ~3" - Tag reads: "PLEASE RELEASE - TELEMETRY STUDY - NO. 00##; SMITHSONIAN ENV. RES. CTR. 443-482-2203." SERC request that you please return these fish to the river alive. There is NO REWARD FOR PINK TAGS. If you do catch one of these fish, please note the tag number and call the phone number listed on the tag to find out more about the fish and report its location.
This is the first in a series of tagging programs involving invasive catfish that will take place in the Patuxent River. Check back with the Fisheries Webpage to keep up with the most recent studies and finding involving invasive catfish in the Patuxent River and other tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay.

Some north country schools earned an A+ while others barely mustered a passing grade in the latest edition of an annual report that ranks upstate New York public school districts, released Friday.
Area school superintendents are still absorbing the report, which is assembled yearly by Buffalo Business First, and looks at 429 school districts statewide. Rankings are based primarily on test scores, but the economic health of the area, experience of teachers, fiscal responsibility and other factors also are taken into account.
The publication looked at 33 districts in the Watertown area, which it defined as encompassing Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.
The Potsdam Central School District earned the highest marks in the region and ranked 43rd overall among all upstate New York districts.
This is certainly the type of list that we want our school district to rate high on, Potsdam Superintendent Patrick H. Brady said. Our staff and administration work very hard to create a program where our students could achieve despite the difficulties facing schools today.
This is the third year that Potsdam has taken the regions top spot, despite increasing financial woes.
It has been very difficult, and we have cut over 50 positions and several programs, but through it all we have tried to maintain good class sizes and a variety of academic programs, Mr. Brady said.
The district is considering a merger with Canton, which ranked third in the region, to help save costs and maintain services.
Mr. Brady attributed the continuing success to a persistent focus on graduation rates and dedicated parents.
They support our school district, and they have high expectations for our school. They wont accept providing less opportunity for students, he said.
In Lewis County, the Beaver River Central School District had similar cause for happiness, landing in second place in the region and 73rd overall.
Weve always had high expectations for our kids. Its a process of everybody coming together everybody looking out for every student, Superintendent Leueen Smithling said.
She praised her districts administrators and teachers for their commitment to implementing the rigorous state-mandated Common Core standards over the last few years. She also cited the district as a model of making the most of a modest budget.
Theres only about 40 schools that spend less money per student than we do, so for us to get these kind of results is pretty amazing, she said.
The Thousand Islands Central School District took the top spot in Jefferson County, landing in fourth place in the region and 83rd overall.
Were very happy. It really goes to show the dedication and hard work of our teaching staff and administrators, Superintendent Frank C. House said.
The St. Lawrence Central School District, Brasher Falls, had little reason to celebrate, ranking last in the region and 397th among the 429 schools studied.
Obviously, the ranking is disappointing, Superintendent Stephan J. Vigliotti Sr. said. We want to do everything that we can do to improve it.
Mr. Viglotti took over the district in March, replacing Stephen M. Putman, who retired early this year.
He said the school will begin a strategic planning process in November, gathering information to pinpoint and target its specific weaknesses.
Im still learning, becoming oriented to the district and the people and so forth, Mr. Vigliotti said.
Watertown parents also have cause to frown. The Watertown City School District ranked third-worst in the region, ahead of only Brasher Falls and Edwards-Knox. It was rated worst in Jefferson County, and 372nd overall.
Watertown Superintendent Terry N. Fralick said he hasnt taken a look at the rankings yet, and could not remark on his districts low scores until he had.
I havent seen it, and so at this point I would hesitate to comment, he said.
No matter where their districts placed, the superintendents agreed that the rankings provide an incentive for improvement.
The goal is to improve academic achievement. Thats the goal if youre ranked 33rd or if youre ranked first, Mr. Vigliotti said.
Mr. Brady agreed, saying Potsdams high marks should not be taken as a sign that the district has reached the peak, but rather as an impetus for further progress.
Its nice to be on the list, but the standards continue to increase, with Common Core curriculum, for example, so we as a school district need to continue to work hard and focus our efforts on those areas of improvement, he said.

Exelon Nuclear's Limerick Generating Station Unit 2 resumed producing electricity for the regional grid on April 13 at 1:41 a.m. EDT after safely completing a 21-day refueling and maintenance shutdown.
Pottstown, PA (April 13, 2009) - Exelon Nuclear's Limerick Generating Station Unit 2 resumed producing electricity for the regional grid on April 13 at 1:41 a.m. EDT after safely completing a 21-day refueling and maintenance shutdown.Operators shut down Unit 2 on March 23 to allow technicians, engineers, specialists and other workers to refuel the reactor and safely perform extensive inspections, tests, maintenance and modifications on a variety of components and equipment."This was an extensive refueling and maintenance outage for Limerick, and I'm proud that it was completed safely," said Limerick Site Vice President Chris Mudrick. "We replaced one-third of the reactor's fuel and performed preventive maintenance activities on plant equipment to ensure safe and reliable operations during the upcoming 24-month operating cycle."To support the refueling effort, the station used the talents and expertise of nearly 2,000 additional workers, many of whom come from local union halls, or traveled to Limerick from outside the area providing a temporary benefit for the local economy. The shutdown completed a successful run of 402 days for Unit 2 and set a new record at Limerick for a dual unit continuous run of 363 days.
Limerick Unit 1 continued to generate electricity during the Unit 2 refueling and maintenance outage. Limerick Generating Station is located approximately 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia. With both units at full power, the site can produce enough electricity for 2 million homes.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.
