The public power provider recently announced that it struck a deal with Beebe Renewable Energy's Phase 1B wind power project.
"We're always looking at what would be good enhancements to get more diverse in our generation mix," said Annette Allen, the Grand Haven utility's general manager.
The project is an expansion of the existing 81.6-megawatt Beebe 1A Project that was constructed in 2012 under a purchased power agreement with Consumers Energy. The project is owned and operated by Excelon Wind and is located east of Ithaca in Gratiot County.
"We've had this project come up before and it looked like it'd be a nice fit," Allen said.
The Board of Light & Power will purchase up to 2.4 megawatts of energy from the Beebe project for 20 years. The agreement calls for a price not to exceed $48.95 per megawatt-hour.
"Although we don't need it, it's a good fit as it's a good price for renewables," Allen said. "It's only a small piece, but it is a good first step."
Grand Haven Mayor Geri McCaleb said that while the municipal utility has to comply with renewable energy standards, she is skeptical of wind energy's potential to meet future power requirements.
"I don't think it is a good, long-term solution to our energy needs," she said. "I certainly don't think this is a long-term solution to anyone's energy requirements."
In light of a new state mandate (Public Act 295), power providers are on the lookout for opportunities to consider additional renewable options. The act requires power generators to produce 10 percent of their retail electricity sales from renewable energy resources by 2015.

NATO troops joined a fight against a Taliban suicide squad that stormed a Kabul police headquarters at dawn on January 21, killing three police officers and unleashing a stand-off that lasted for more than eight hours. The Taliban claimed the attack, which turned into the longest stand-off between the insurgents and security forces in Kabul since a major co-ordinated raid on the capital lasted 18 hours in April last year.

PECO and the Exelon Foundation, the independent, non-profit philanthropic organization funded by PECO parent company Exelon, have sponsored an exhibition of works by the influential African-American artist Henry Ossawa Tanner.
PHILADELPHIA -- PECO and the Exelon Foundation, the independent, non-profit philanthropic organization funded by PECO parent company Exelon, have sponsored an exhibition of works by the influential African-American artist Henry Ossawa Tanner. The exhibition will appear at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) from Jan. 28 to Apr. 15, 2012.
Showcasing Tanner's paintings, photographs, prints, sculptures, watercolors, and drawings, Henry Ossawa Tanner: Modern Spirit has been organized by PAFA, where the artist studied from 1879 to 1885. After the show closes in Philadelphia, the exhibit will travel to the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
In addition to the artwork, the exhibition delves into Tanner's life and career, from his upbringing in Philadelphia in the years after the Civil War, through the artist's training at PAFA, his success as an American artist at the highest levels of the international art world at the turn of the 20th century, and his modernist invigoration of religious painting deeply rooted in his faith.
"PECO and the Exelon Foundation are outstanding corporate citizens, committed to making educational and cultural opportunity accessible to the entire community. It is a great pleasure collaborating with them," said David R. Brigham, PAFA President & CEO.
The PECO and Exelon Foundation sponsorship allows PAFA to promote the Tanner exhibit through advertising, signage and targeted outreach to the community and to educators.
"We believe that this amazing collection of beautiful and spiritual paintings will not only revive interest in Tanner, but also inspire pride in our community that this is the masterwork of a Philadelphia native," said PECO President and CEO and Exelon Foundation Board Member Denis O'Brien. "Our support of this exhibition will broaden our efforts to increase access to the arts for people of all ages and backgrounds."
"Henry O. Tanner's contribution to American art since the late 20th century cannot be overstated," said Steven Solomon, president of the Exelon Foundation. "As part of our efforts to advance understanding of diversity and tolerance, the Exelon Foundation is pleased to help spotlight the work of this significant figure in African-American history."
Based in Philadelphia, PECO is an electric and natural gas utility subsidiary of Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC). PECO serves 1.6 million electric and 490,000 natural gas customers in southeastern Pennsylvania and employs about 2,400 people in the region. PECO delivered 87.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 39.5 billion kilowatt-hours-hours of electricity in 2010. Founded in 1881, PECO is one of the Greater Philadelphia Region's most active corporate citizens, providing leadership, volunteer and financial support to numerous arts and culture, education, environmental, economic development and community programs and organizations.
About the Exelon FoundationThe Exelon Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization funded solely by Exelon Corporation, an energy company, through shareholder dollars. The Foundation supports non-profit, tax-exempt organizations primarily within the service territories of Exelon and its operating companies. The mission of the Foundation is to encourage respect for the environment and strengthen the social and economic fabric of the community by supporting programs in the areas of environment and conservation, innovative math and science education, and diversity and tolerance.

Product 1010/1011
Pattern delivered as an electronic download.
This is a quick-fix crafty project that brings a bit of "handmade" to a high-tech world.
These make great craft-stall items and are an excellent gift-idea for men or for women of all tech-savvy ages.
The colourful fob makes USB sticks (flash drives.. or whatever you want to call them) easier to find and less likely to fall out of a bag or pocket. It also makes each one distinctive. (Am I the only one who has trouble telling them apart and remembering which files are on which stick?). The USB drive is removable/interchangeable and it tucks down safely inside the little sachet when the strap is snapped closed, and it can clip onto a keyring or a key clip inside a handbag. Handy!
Finished fob approx 10cm x 4cm (4" x 1 ½")
Cotton (quilting weight) fabric
Vilene S320* or other interfacing
6mm fusible webbing tape (Eg. Vliesofix T6)
30-50mm (1 ½" - 2") USB Stick**
30mm (1 ¼ inch) split key ring**
1 x 10-12mm (1/2 inch) press snap fastener
Appliqué mat or baking paper (parchment)
Thread to match your fabric
Rotary cutter and quilting ruler
* Vilene S320 - a high-quality fusible interfacing- is the ideal interfacing for this project.
If all else fails, you can use any stable (like paper) fusible interfacing, but the results may not be the same.
**You may alter the pattern to fit other length USB sticks.
***Alternatively, use a 38mm (1 ½") snap hook
Olfa point cutter, hobby knife or scalpel
Tailor's awl
Fusible webbing (Vliesofix, Applifix, Heat&Bond etc) or quilt basting spray

NORMAN — Amath M'Baye stood in the practice gym at Lloyd Noble Center and passed the ball to his mom.
Both of them were laughing as she shot a basket.
NORMAN — Amath M'Baye stood in the practice gym at Lloyd Noble Center and passed the ball to his mom.
Both of them were laughing as she shot a basket.
It's not often they get to spend time together, mother and son.
But what matters to both right now is that for three weeks, Dominique Ba will be there to watch and support M'Baye as the 6-foot-9 forward plays in home and road games for the Oklahoma basketball team. At least after his first road game against UT Arlington, his mother knows she won't have to wait until her son reads his email after the game to know he's heard her critiques.
Amath M'Baye took an unusual path to Norman. He was born in Bourdeaux, France, where he lived with his mother and grandmother. But when he was 7 or 8 years old, he and his mother moved to Dakar, Senegal. That's where his father was.
"From my point of view, it was important for him to know the two countries," Ba said through the help of her son's translation, "because he was born in France and his first years he spent in France but I wanted to know the other side of his person, Africa. That was important. Now he knows that and that is constructive for him."
Living in Senegal wasn't easy for M'Baye.
"It was a rough part of my life," M'Baye said. "It was tough to put food on the table. My mom worked hard every day just to find a way to put food on the table."
He did get to watch his father play basketball. And the encouraging personality that his teammates today see was evident even then.
Young M'Baye thought that tapping others on their rear was a way of telling them they did a good job. After all, that's what his father did when a teammate helped him in a game.
So walking the streets of Senegal one day, M'Baye and his mother came across a police officer when M'Baye reached up and tapped him on the behind.
"Good job," little M'Baye said as he kept walking with his mom. His mother still smiles today when recalling the memory — and her son's positivity.

I used this in Seattle for a few days over the winter. It worked great in the rain & cold wind. I purchased a small (I'm a size 0, 5'8" 110 lbs) and found it a tad big, but didn't feel like going through the returns process because it fits well enough. Next time I'll get an XS in Patagonia.

Jacks compete at West Prelim...
The South Dakota State men's and women's track and field teams continued competition at the NCAA West Preliminary...
One Jackrabbit athlete qualified for the NCAA Championships through the first two days of competition.
Senior Jared Vlastuin continued his stellar career by qualifying in the long jump. Vlastuin qualified with a mark of 25 feet, three and one-half inches to finish 10th in the field of 48 competitors. He reached the distance on his second jump in the preliminary stage. Vlastuin entered the field as the No. 13 seed.
The distance was one-half inch short of his season-best and school record, which scored at the 2012 Summit League Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Vlastuin received Field Championship MVP, which included a league championship in the long jump and a pair of third-place finishes in the high jump and triple jump.
Jake Brinkmann finished 35th in the hammer throw with a mark of 187 feet, four inches. Brinkmann set the school record this season and finished third at the league championships.
On the women's side, Mary Wirth was the top finisher with a 23rd-place in the high jump. She posted a mark of five feet, seven and one-fourth inches. Wirth was the league champion at both the Indoor Championships and Outdoor Championships this season.
Brooke Garner was 26th in the discus with a throw of 161 feet, 10 inches. Garner set the school record this season and finished runner-up at The Summit League Outdoor Championships.
Amy Paulzine finished 40th in the javelin with a toss of 134 feet, two inches. Paulzine set the school record this season and finished runner-up at the league championships.
SDSU athletes compete in three events on Saturday. Garner is the No. 16 seed in the hammer throw, Vlastuin is the No. 45 seed in the high jump and Brinkmann competes in the discus.
Advancing to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships is achieved through performance in the Preliminary Round competition at each site. Twelve competitors from each individual event and a minimum of eight teams from each relay event move on from each Preliminary Round site to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
The NCAA Championships are set to take place June 6-8 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Byron Generating Station is a nuclear power plant located near Byron in northern Illinois, about 110 miles west of Chicago.
Byron has 2 units capable of generating approximately 2,336 net megawatts (MW) of electricity. Together the units can produce enough electricity to power more than 2 million average American homes.
Its massive twin cooling towers reach 495 feet into the air, overlooking the scenic Rock River Valley. The towers help cool the 2 pressurized water reactors designed by Westinghouse. Units 1 and 2 began commercial operation on September 16, 1985, and August 2, 1987, respectively.
Byron Generating Station, like all U.S. nuclear energy facilities, is based on a "defense-in-depth" design, which means there are redundant layers of safety. There are multiple layers of safety systems to provide water to the reactor core. These safety systems, and their backup safety systems, are powered by multiple and redundant power sources. Nuclear energy plants are built with multiple physical barriers, including thick, steel-reinforced concrete walls around the reactor to contain radioactive materials.
Our employees are personally committed to safety. They are highly-skilled workers and continually receive training to make our safe work practices even safer. We have a culture of continuous learning and implement lessons learned from operating experience to continue to operate safe nuclear energy facilities. Each employee has 100 percent accountability. We welcome strict, daily oversight by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). We work with the NRC to ensure that all regulations are complied with - and exceeded.
Learn more about the safety of Exelon's nuclear energy plants.
As part of Exelon 2020, Exelon Nuclear launched a series of planned power uprates across the company's nuclear fleet that will generate additional generation capacity within 8 years without turning a spade of earth. Uprate projects improve the efficiency and increase electricity output of a nuclear generating unit through upgrades to plant equipment. The projects take advantage of new production and measurement technologies, new materials and learning from a half-century of nuclear power operations.
Byron employs a sophisticated emergency response plan to protect public health and safety approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the state of Illinois. The Emergency Planning includes coordination with local counties, municipalities and school districts.
The majority of Byron's approximately 850 employees live in Ogle and Winnebago counties. The plant's annual payroll is about $60 million. During refueling outages, Byron employs about 2,000 temporary contractors who boost the local economy during their stay.
Byron aims to be a good neighbor and is very active in many of the surrounding communities.

In a Presidents Day encounter, there wasnt much good will between the Danbury Whalers and the Thousand Islands Privateers.
And in the latest round of a spirited and heated rivalry which may carry over into a meeting in the playoffs the Privateers found a way to get back at the Whalers.
Peter Campbell scored two goals and goalie Matt Anthony made 42 saves as Thousand Islands defeated Danbury 3-1 on Monday in a Federal Hockey League clash at Watertown Municipal Arena.
Weve had a game plan for the past week and a half and the guys are buying into it, said Thousand Islands coach Paul Kelly. We played for a whole 60 minutes and really didnt take a shift off tonight this is one of our best games of the year.
The Privateers (22-26) reversed their fortunes against the Whalers (25-21) after squandering a 3-0 lead in a 5-3 at Danbury on Saturday night.
This is a huge, huge win for us because we had a letdown against them on Saturday, Campbell said. We really let them back in that game, so for us to play a solid 60 minutes as a team is a great feeling, especially this time of the year.
Thousand Islands also earned a valuable two points in the fight for playoff position in the league. With the win, the Privateers moved into sole possession of third place.
With five regular-season games remaining on its schedule, if Thousand Islands finishes third it would play Danbury in the first round of the playoffs.
We know theyre a very tough and physical team to play against, Anthony said of Danbury, which leads the season series, 7-3. Well probably be matched up against them in the playoffs, so weve got treat every game that we play against them as a playoff game to prepare for the real thing.
Absolutely were playing well, Campbell said. Weve got three wins from our last four and the confidence is there, we know we can beat these teams.
In this meeting, Campbell scored a pair of goals one shorthanded and the other while on the power play within a span of five minutes in the second period to put the Privateers ahead for good at 2-1.
After Danbury cashed in by scoring a goal during a five-minute power play in the first period, Campbell struck first with his shorthanded effort as he finished off a feed from Nick LaPorte and ripped a drive goalie Mike Brown from the left faceoff circle at 7:58.
The Whalers continued to battle through penalty trouble and killed off a pair of two-man advantages totaling two minutes, but Campbell converted on a pass from Sean Walsh for a power-play goal at 12:37.
I hope this didnt look like a playoff game, Danbury coach Phil Esposito said. Because if that was a playoff game we would be in big trouble because that referee was awful. The refereeing was God awful it was terrible, it was brutal that guy shouldnt be allowed to ref in the FHL ever again.
Adam McAllister added an empty-net goal with 7.4 seconds left in regulation.
Anthony, who leads the league in saves and minutes played, stopped all 26 shots he faced in the final 40 minutes, including a sequence of saves in close on Richard Vanderhoek and Anthony Pisano with 10 minutes left.
Were playing smarter as a team, said Kelly, whose team hits the road with three games in three days at Danbury on Friday, at Dayton on Saturday and at Danville on Sunday. Winning three of our last four is obviously a good feeling coming from where we were. And were getting healthy I think this is only the fourth time all year were weve had 18 bodies.
The Whalers had taken a 1-0 lead on Matt Carancis power-play goal at 10:28 of the first period after McAllister received a five-minute major for charging.
nNOTES: McAllister leads the Privateers in goals (31), just one ahead of Campbell, who tops the team in points (30-54-84). ... Former St. Lawrence University forward Max Mobley, who played earlier this season for Danbury, was signed by the Privateers earlier in the month and has been skating on the top line with Campbell and McAllister.

|BB&T Investigates Sealant Run-Off Incident
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 20 July 2010 04:57
A BB&T Official in Winston-Salem says that the bank is looking into the matter of the sludgy run-off from the sealing operation at their Highway 105 location last Saturday, but Mary Tolbert of BB&T declined to say what action they might seek against the unnamed company. A sudden rainstorm washed the material off the lot and into the storm drain where it entered the creek system at Hodges Creek.
There, the toxic substance killed fish, crawfish, and polluted the water supply that eventually becomes drinking water out of the New River, according to Watauga Riverkeeper Donna Lisenby, who counted dead creatures along the path of the run-off. Her video put the problem on hundreds of computers around the area. Boone Fire Chief Jimmy Isaacs said that his department followed the path from the discovery point back to the BB&T lot, but as the substance was water soluble, skimming and other solutions were not available. The only solution was, in fact, more water to dilute the mess. The potential for town action was not clear yesterday.

Rabbi Hayyim Vital (1542-1620) was the foremost disciple of R. Isaac Luria, one of the most important mystics in 16th century Judaism and founder of the major school of mysticism known as Lurianic kabbalah. Vital was the most influential transmitter of Luria's teachings, and the author of a full-fledged mystical autobiography called The Book of Visions. The second text in this volume, The Book of Secrets, is by Rabbi Yizak Isaac Safrim of Komarno (1806-1874), an important Hasidic master. The Book of Secrets is divided into two parts. The first part, The Book of Visions, modeled on Vital's work, consists of incidents in his life and visionary experiences. The second part, the Deeds of the Lord, contains stories about the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidism.

Your cart is empty!
This product has no odor, it leaves no grease and it helps to restore the natural shine to my hair. It is so hard to find fragrance free products and they work well. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for fragrance free hair product.
i really like this product and ive used it for several years, but its not sold in my area anymore. i order it online but now not only did the price go up on the mousse but shipping is more than one can of it. i cannot afford your products and high shipping costs. im very disappointed!!!!!!! thank you.
I have used many mousses to try and give my hair a little extra volume and most dont do much of anything but this one does work....it gives my hair that extra boost and it holds all day. I am glad I found this product!
This incredible product allows me to manage my very straight, fine hair. It is not sticky, so hair feels soft yet is so manageable. I have been searching many stores for it, and was sure it was a discontinued item. I am thrilled to find it again. Arlene.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Stephen King "returns to his glory days of The Stand" (New York Daily News) with his new #1 bestselling epic!
Just down Route 119 in Chester's Mill, Maine, all hell is about to break loose...
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day, a small town is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and rain down flaming wreckage. A gardener's hand is severed as the dome descends. Cars explode on impact. Families are separated and panic mounts. No one can fathom what the barrier is, where it came from, and when — or if — it will go away. Now a few intrepid citizens, led by an Iraq vet turned short-order cook, face down a ruthless politician dead set on seizing the reins of power under the dome. But their main adversary is the dome itself. Because time isn't just running short. It's running out.
"King's return to supernatural horror is uncomfortably bulky, formidably complex and irresistibly compelling. When the smalltown of Chester's Mill, Maine, is surrounded by an invisible force field, the people inside must exert themselves to survive. The situation deteriorates rapidly due to the dome's ecological effects and the machinations of Big Jim Rennie, an obscenely sanctimonious local politician and drug lord who likes the idea of having an isolated populace to dominate. Opposing him are footloose Iraq veteran Dale 'Barbie' Barbara, newspaper editor Julia Shumway, a gaggle of teen skateboarders and others who want to solve the riddle of the dome. King handles the huge cast of characters masterfully but ruthlessly, forcing them to live (or not) with the consequences of hasty decisions. Readers will recognize themes and images from King's earlier fiction, and while this novel doesn't have the moral weight of, say, The Stand, nevertheless, it's a nonstop thrill ride as well as a disturbing, moving meditation on our capacity for good and evil." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Under the Dome takes a lucid, commonsense approach that keeps it tight and energetic from start to finish. Hard as this thing is to hoist, it's even harder to put down....It also has a great capacity for escapist fun, without which Mr. King could never lure readers through such a long trek." Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"[A] foot-on-the-gas-narrative told in breathless idiomatic style. King couldn't give two hoots for ornamental language or lyrical phrasing, but you've got to admire him for making this so compelling. Although he's an undisputed master of suspense and terror, what gives King's work heft is his moral clarity." Graham Joyce, The Washington Post Book World
"[King] can produce great work...and he has done it again here....Regular King readers will rejoice at his return to his strengths. Some will balk at the page count, but a fast pace and compelling narrative make the reader's time fly. Highly recommended." Library Journal (starred review)
"Under the Dome is King at the top of his form. He manages an intricate plot with seamless skill, he brings a large cast of characters vividly to life, and he puts the pedal to the metal with a story that charges through more than 1,000 pages with a constant fusillade of surprises." St. Petersburg Times
"King keeps a huge cast very busy in his third-biggest novel ever...
"[U]tterly engrossing and awesomely entertaining....Under the Dome is the sort of book for which the phrase 'page-turner' was coined: You'll never tear through a 1,000-page book so fast." Miami Herald
"This is King humming at the height of his powers, cackling at human folly, taking childish glee in the gross-out and all the while spinning a modern fable that asks some serious questions without sounding preachy." The Christian Science Monitor
"Propulsively intriguing....Staggeringly addictive." USA Today
"The work of a master storyteller having a whole lot of fun." Los Angeles Times
"King returns to his glory days of The Stand." New York Daily News
"A wildly entertaining trip." People
"Tight and energetic from start to finish....Hard as this thing is to hoist, it's even harder to put down." New York Times
"Under the Dome moves so fast and grips the reader so tightly that it's practically incapacitating." Newsday
"Stephen King's Under the Dome was one of my favourite books of the year so far." Neil Gaiman
"Dome is classic King, sure to please any fan." Baltimore Sun
In Stephen King's mesmerizing new novel, a Maine town is subject to the imposition of an impenetrable dome that isolates its citizens from the world.
A fantastical, fast-paced science fiction novel of mystery and action from award-winning novelist Philip K. Dick.
Following an inexplicable urge, Ted Barton returns to his idyllic Virginia hometown for a vacation, but when he gets there, he is shocked to discover that the town has utterly changed. The stores and houses are all different and he doesnt recognize anybody. The mystery deepens when he checks the towns historical records . . . and reads that he died nearly twenty years earlier. As he attempts to uncover the secrets of the town, Barton is drawn deeper into the puzzle, and into a supernatural battle that could decide the fate of the universe.
Don't miss the "harrowing" (The Washington Post) #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from Master of Horror Stephen King that inspired the hit television series, following the apocalyptic scenario of a town cut off from the rest of the world.
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when—or if—it will go away.
Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens—town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician's assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing—even murder—to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn't just short. It's running out.
