|Purchase Orders
|A properly executed requisition, with appropriate signature approval, provides authority for the Purchasing Department to proceed with the procurement process. Purchasing Department personnel will review the requisition, solicit bids (if necessary), select the vendor (in cooperation with the requesting department) and prepare a purchase order.
|Procurement Cards
Sinclair's Procurement Cards (also known as P-Cards) are issued, to individuals through the College, by an area bank in the name of the College and the employee. Using a P-Card is the preferred method to purchase low-value, non-capital expense items. Many items previously acquired by using Petty Cash, Purchase Orders or Check Requests should be targeted for the P-Card.
The P-Card Program is not designed to replace the current purchasing process. Instead, the P-Card is simply another purchasing tool–-designed to provide the requester with an easier and faster method to purchase goods. It can be used to make purchases in person; by phone, fax, or mail, and over the Internet.
From an accounting and purchasing viewpoint, the P-Card has good control, reporting and data interface features, which allow reduction in overhead costs. In addition, suppliers benefit as they are paid in two to three days and do not have to prepare, send and track invoices, or wait 30 to 45 days for payment.
The Cardholder should purchase from College contract vendors, identifiable by contacting the Purchasing Department, whenever possible to take advantage of pricing and terms negotiated on a College-wide contract basis.
Please note that all purchases are subject to the rules and procedures contained in this Manual.
1. Guidelines for Card Use
Senior Vice Presidents, Vice Presidents, Deans and Directors should establish restrictions on card use for individuals within their departments. Such restrictions must be monitored by the appropriate Budget Manager.
Purchases may be made at merchants and suppliers who accept Sinclair's card type. Examples of the types of purchases the P-Card may be used for include:
Do NOT use your P-Card for these transactions:
Please note that Services is not an allowable expense on the P-Card.
It is not the intent of the Purchasing department to prevent the efficient operations of any department within the college. However, we are in an area that is highly scrutinized. The most recent Board approved policies are dated July 2008, so very little has changed in recent years.
Transactions that require special permission and must have written approval prior to the purchase include:
As previously noted, personal purchases may not be made with the P-Card, even if the requester's intent is to reimburse the College.
Should any personal charges be unintentionally charged on the P-Card, the user must immediately prepare a personal check made payable to Sinclair Community College. This check must be made for the amount of the personal charges and note the same account number that was used for the P-Card transaction. The check should be hand-carried to the Purchasing office which will make the deposit with the Bursar and will copy all documentation to attach to the Cardholder's corresponding Transaction Review report.
THE P-CARD IS NOT TO BE USED IN THE CAMPUS BOOKSTORE. The Tartan Card is to be used for all purchases in Sinclair's Bookstore.
THE P-CARD IS NOT TO BE USED FOR PURCHASES WITH ARAMARK. A "Food Services Request" form, located under "College Forms" must be processed.
2. Consequences for Failure to Comply with Program Guidelines
Cardholders who violate Purchasing Policies and Procedures as outlined in this Manual may be subject to:
A written notification will be sent to the cardholder and the signature authority on the account if P-Card privileges are to be restricted, suspended or revoked. Notification will also be sent to the Cardholder's supervisor if other than the signature authority.
Some violations include:
3. Control Mechanisms with the P-Card
A P-Card is a special type of credit card. The Program Administrator has the ability to control its use in the following ways:
Credit card companies classify all merchants by a Merchant Category Code (MCC). The College has chosen to block certain MCC codes for purchases on the P-Card.
If you attempt to make a purchase with one of these merchants, your transaction will be declined. Should a legitimate purchase be rejected, however, contact the Program Administrator to get the problem resolved.
4. General Instruction for use of P-cards
h. If changes to the information on the P-Card account are necessary i.e. changes to spending limit, account number, etc., the Supervisor of the Cardholder should contact the P-Card Administrator in writing or fill out a new Procurement Card Account Application Form, obtain the appropriate signatures, and file the form with the P-Card Administrator.
5. Audits
To ensure the continued success of the P-Card Program and meet Sinclair's audit requirements,a stringent periodic review of each Cardholder's transaction file and monthly summaries will be conducted by the Purchasing Department. An outside auditing firm will also conduct a yearly audit of the P-Card program.
6. Credit Card Security
The card should always be treated with the highest level of care.
7. What if the Cardholder Leaves the College or cannot Process the Report?
When the Cardholder leaves Sinclair, the user's card must be turned in to the P-Card Administrator along with all receipts of transactions purchased to date. The P-Card Administrator will cancel the card by notifying the bank.
If an employee has to be out of the office temporarily, regardless of the reason (e.g., vacation, business travel, conference, illness, etc.), all P-Card report deadlines still apply. This is also true for employees who have been given the responsibility to process someone else's report (e.g., for an employee who has resigned or retired but still has outstanding transactions on the card).
In addition, nine-month employees must make arrangements for turning in all reports on-time during the summer – regardless of whether the Cardholders are on campus or not. Failure to turn in a report can result in suspension of the card.
8. What if errors appear on the statement or are otherwise discovered?
Accounts Payable will pay all charges on all cards on a monthly basis, issuing one check to the bank.
|Purchases Requiring Prepayment
There may be rare situations when it is necessary to make payments in advance of receiving goods or services although this practice is not generally appropriate. Examples may include membership fees, registration fees, professional fees, subscriptions and personal services such as speaker honorariums, etc.
Any requisition requesting prepayment must have attached to it evidence of the cost of the item (e.g., a price sheet or Proforma Invoice).
|Blanket Purchase Orders
Blanket Purchase Orders typically cover a specified time period with an established dollar limitation. Capital equipment may not be purchased on blanket orders.
A request for a blanket order should identified by the initiating department through the requisitioning process. Persons authorized to purchase from the order and the dollar limit must be identified.
Generally, Blanket Orders may not be issued for any period beyond the current fiscal year and may not be for more than $25,000. Often, Blanket Orders for construction projects may extend past the fiscal year and exceed $25,000.
|Check Requests
The vast majority of purchasing activity for the College should be done via Purchase Orders or P-card transactions. In the rare event that a purchasing transaction does not justify a formal Purchase Order or cannot be processed by credit card, a Check Request may be processed.
The transaction would typically involve the following to qualify for a check request:
To initiate a check request:
1. Complete the form Requisition to the Purchasing Department.
2. In bold letters across the description section, write Check Request.
3. Forward the form along with appropriate back-up information (invoice, application, etc.) through the usual approval process.
All such requests must include the complete detail of goods and services received. Credit card slips or cash register receipts lacking specific, itemized detail will result in the request being rejected.
Since a check request does not result in a purchase order being printed, there will not be a copy returned to the department. Special care must be taken by the person initiating the request not to duplicate the request. It is common for the businesses involved in some of the above transactions to send a stream of requests or notices to their customers.
|Unscrupulous Business
|There are unscrupulous businesses which prey upon inexperienced purchasers. Purchasers should order only from known, legitimate businesses in order to avoid unscrupulous businesses. Contact with the Purchasing Department is recommended when in doubt.
|Modification or Cancellation of Orders
Once a purchase order is received and accepted by a vendor, it becomes a binding contract between the vendor and the College. The only persons who may institute cancellation or changes to the order are Purchasing Department personnel.
Requests for a change on an order by the requisitioning department can be initiated verbally but must be immediately confirmed in writing. All contact with the vendor on these matters will be made by the Purchasing Department.
Vendor requests for price changes on a purchase order may be approved/rejected by the Purchasing Department if the net change does not exceed $500.
Changes of more than $500 require the initiating department to submit a requisition amending the original order. Normal signature approvals are required. The Purchasing Department will then issue a purchase order addendum to the original order.
|Emergency Purchases
Emergency situations arise which may not allow time for normal purchasing procedures to be completed. These situations may include the following:
If, for any of the above reasons, an immediate commitment of funds is required or if the emergency must be handled during non-business hours, the requesting department must deliver the necessary documentation to the Purchasing Department during the next regular business day.
|Unauthorized Purchases
The expenditure of College funds for certain items is prohibited and requests for these items will be rejected by the Purchasing Department. These items include, but are not limited to the following:
Most institutional memberships and subscriptions are an appropriate use of College funds if there is a direct benefit to the College and respective department. Rarely, would a personal membership or subscription qualify as an allowable expense.
In the event that the personal membership or subscription met a public purpose (e.g., notary, CPA, etc.), approval may be warranted through the President or a Senior Vice President.
Payments for memberships in social organizations (e.g., golf clubs, fitness clubs) are strictly prohibited.
|Problem Orders
Responsibility for the purchasing process does not end until the goods are received in satisfactory condition and all conditions of the contract have been completed. It is imperative, therefore, that the Purchasing Department be contacted when any vendor follow-up is required. Reasons for follow-up may include the following:
The Purchasing Department is responsible for all vendor contact once a purchase order has been issued.
|The Purchasing Department handles all complaints or questions addressed to vendors and involving purchase order transactions. College employees should communicate with the Purchasing Department at the earliest possible time when problems or questions arise.

Lourdes student Maurice Hawkins has faced daunting challenges and has surpassed the expectations of colleagues and peers. To him, however, it's a testament to his faith in God and in the individual's belief in achievement.
A bright and talented person, he played football while simultaneously holding the honors of Student of the Month and Athlete of the Week at Springfield High School. After graduation, he enrolled in Biology at Bowling Green State University. His educational and career paths were set.
Then, at the age of 19, Maurice's life changed dramatically. He was on his way to campus for a final exam when he lost control of his car as it slid on an icy patch of road.
When he awoke in the hospital, he learned the details of his ordeal. He had died at the scene, been brought back to life, taken by Life Flight to a regional hospital and treated for bleeding and swelling in his brain. Maurice knew his road to recovery would take determination and his strong belief in God.
His injuries included the fracture of his C2 vertebrae, massive swelling on the right side of his body and poor circulation. His persevering spirit, positive outlook and unwavering faith never left him.
"Yes, I had been through a tremendous trauma but I focused on all the blessings," explains Maurice. "I was alive. My C2 vertebrae broke but I wasn't a paraplegic. It had broken outward rather than inward. My doctors told me that I was a 'medical and spiritual miracle.'"
With a sooner-than-expected recuperation, Maurice returned to school that fall and finished the semester with a 3.4 GPA. Realizing he needed to make a change, he chose to follow in his brother Richard's footsteps and attend Lourdes because "I felt the school would be a better fit for me." While his brother has since gone on to The University of Toledo, Maurice is positive he made the right choice.
He is thankful to the faculty and staff members who have provided him with an excellent education that suits his needs. His educational experience so impressed his brother Christopher that he is now enrolled.
As a Lourdes student, Maurice has maintained a high GPA while working multiple jobs with the Frederick Douglass Center, Drs. Pero, Glinka & Voss, United Postal Service (UPS) and Big Lots. His most recent accomplishment was the establishment of his own business, Capital Painting.
Now at the still young age of 25, Maurice has set two goals for himself after graduation. Gain entrance into the institution's new one-year Master of Business Administration program and to become an entrepreneur.
He has already proven his dedication and determination. Combined with his work experience, the future looks very bright indeed.

Nottingham Forest under-21 side beaten 1-0 by Birmingham despite inclusion of experienced trio
Posted: January 29, 2013|
Football: Darius Henderson, Lewis McGugan and Jamaal Lascelles were part of a Nottingham Forest under-21 side beaten by Birmingham.
A fairly experienced Reds side were narrowly beaten 1-0 at the Nigel Doughty Academy and all three players were heavily involved.
Lascelles produced an early block to steer a goal-bound free kick onto the bar.
Henderson twice came close to scoring in the first half, with a header and a low drive and McGugan lifted a shot narrowly over after skipping through on goal early in the second period.
Stephen McLaughlin, the Irish winger, was also involved and had a shot saved in the first half.
But the decisive moment came in the 69th minute, when substitute Marcel Henry-Francis ran on to Eddy Gnahore's through ball to fire beyond Dimitar Evtimov.
Kieran Wallace, who had stood out in the FA Youth Cup win over Rochdale last week, was the closest to drawing Forest level.
He hit the bar in the 81st minute, with a driven shot from the edge of the box, before firing over after attacking a Henderson lay-off.
Forest: Evtimov, Papworth, Fenton, Morgan, Lascelles, Regan, Blake, Wallace, Henderson (Gnahore 82), McGugan (N'Kusu Landu 75), McLauglin (Osborn 70). Subs: Gregory, Gorman.

A Practical Road to Lightweight Cars
Page 3 of 5
Is Aluminum Affordable?
An aluminum vehicle based on either design would bring us closer to the goal of building a lightweight car at a relatively moderate increase in cost. A typical steel unibody weighs just under 600 pounds, while an all-aluminum unibody weighs about 325 pounds and various aluminum space-frame designs would weigh between 285 and 385 pounds. Thus either design could cut the weight of the body nearly in half; a lighter engine, suspension, transmission, and so forth could double the number of pounds saved. (Of course, weight may be added in other areas to compensate for the deficiencies of the new design-for instance, a lightweight car cannot rely on its structural components to protect passengers in the event of a crash and so will need to employ additional systems, like airbags, which add some weight.)Just how much fuel savings are generated by lightweighting the body alone? Reducing the weight of the vehicle by 300 pounds can increase fuel economy by as much as 15 percent. This would increase the gas mileage of a typical mid-sized car, such as the Ford Taurus, from about 22 to about 25 miles per gallon, and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from about 410 grams of CO2 per mile driven to about 355 grams per mile. Secondary weight savings would double the improvement in fuel economy and the reduction in emissions. More dramatic improvements in fuel economy would result in proportional decreases in CO2 emissions, but these would require much more drastic measures than mere lightweighting: more efficient engine technologies, for instance, and probably less room and fewer conveniences than the American consumer typically expects.
A lightweight aluminum car based on either of these designs is likely to be somewhat more expensive than today's steel car when produced in large volumes, according to cost analyses by members of the Materials Systems Laboratory at MIT. At very low production volumes (less than 20,000 vehicles per year), aluminum space frames are actually cheaper than a steel unibody: the least expensive space-frame design would cost about $4,500, compared with $5,800 for a steel unibody and $7,200 for an aluminum unibody.
However, these production volumes are much too low for mass-market vehicles. Popular models such as the Ford Taurus are produced in volumes of 300,000 to 500,000. Even niche vehicles-luxury cars like the Lincoln Continental-have production runs between 40,000 and 80,000. To be considered affordable, a lightweight vehicle must be able to be manufactured inexpensively in large quantities.
At production volumes of about 100,000, the steel unibody is the cheapest design, at an estimated unit cost of $2,500. Aluminum space frames are a bit more expensive-the cheapest design costs about $2,800-while the aluminum unibody costs about $3,600. For more typical production runs of 300,000, the cost of the steel unibody declines to an estimated $1,400, and the aluminum unibody becomes cheaper than the aluminum space frame ($2,000 compared with $2,400).
The changing cost profiles for the three designs result from differences in their manufacturing processes. Metal stamping-the process by which both steel and aluminum unibodies are made-is better able to capture economies of scale than extrusion. As a result, the unit costs of both kinds of unibodies decline as they are produced in greater quantity; the cost differential between them is largely explained by the difference in the cost of the raw material.
The space frame follows a different pattern. Because the capital costs of extrusion are far lower than those of steel stamping, space frames are less expensive than unibodies at low production volumes. But extruded parts require finishing and heat treating, which are time consuming. Furthermore, the rate at which extruded parts can be formed is far slower than the rate at which stamped parts can be made. As a result, unit costs do not decline as dramatically when production volumes increase. Higher production volumes ultimately shift the economics in favor of the unibody.
Given that a vehicle with an aluminum body is going to cost $300 to $1,100 more than a vehicle with a steel body, will increases in fuel economy make up for the increased cost over the lifetime of the vehicle? The answer depends on a variety of factors: the total weight (and cost) of the vehicle, the efficiency of its engine, and the price of fuel. However, the increase in fuel economy attributable to the aluminum body alone would pay for itself only if the price of gasoline were to rise. If the price of gasoline remains between $1.20 and $1.50 per gallon, the money saved on gas would not be enough to make up for the higher cost: the life cycle cost of an aluminum unibody produced in volumes of 300,000 would remain about $300 more than that of a steel unibody. But if the price of gasoline rose to $2.30 per gallon, the owner of the aluminum-based car would break even over the vehicle's lifetime. It is reasonable to think that under these circumstances, consumers might be willing to pay the higher up-front cost of an aluminum-based car.

Very Nice Bib Overalls!...
By: MichiganMan
I've had these for well over a year & I'm very pleased with them. I wear them at home & at work on the real cold days, and never feel the cold. They have the zip up to the waist, so they are pretty easy to get in & out of. Plus, they repel water quite good as well. They will shrink just a bit after the first couple of washings though, so you should buy them a bit longer than you normally would for other type pants, etc. I would recommend these to anyone!

Dyson Groom promises to rid your dog of moulting hair
Dyson, in its quest to command everything that needs to be sucked, has turned to the plight of millions of dog owners around the world by releasing a new attachment for its range of vacuum cleaners.
The Dyson Groom is basically a dog brush combined with your Dyson vacuum cleaner that allows you to groom man's best friend and save you having to then dispose of the hair afterwards.
Launched at the company's London HQ to a crowded room of dog journalists, and Pocket-lint, Dyson showed with the help of a golden retriever how the new attachment works.
"A moulting dog isn't man's best friend. Conventional grooming tools create a fur cloud and more cleaning. We've engineered the Groom tool to hygienically remove fur, without the mess", said James Dyson.
The Dyson Groom tool's stainless steel bristles remove loose hair and dead skin.
Bristles and air flow are controlled via thumb pressure on a tab. As the thumb is lifted, pressure is reduced and the bristles retract. Simultaneously, air flow is re-directed to suck hair and allergens into the clear bin - hygienically.
Suitable for medium or long-haired dogs, it fits the hose of most Dyson vacuum cleaners. The length of the bristles can be adjusted by pushing down on the trigger. And because the bristles do not protrude, it's easy to store claims the company.
The Dyson Groom tool will be on sale from 4 November at Dyson.co.uk and from Conran stores for £40, and available from retailers nationally from spring 2011.
In the hand and we had success with the company's hired hound with the system working effectively and easily to rid the room of dog hair before it had a chance to fall off the dog.
We've been given a unit to test with the Pocket-lint mutt, and will let you know how we get on shortly.

The British Academy has recently announced the next deadline for their popular small research grants scheme, which funds work in the social sciences and humanities:
British Academy – Small Research Grants
The next deadline will be March 15th 2009. This is a change from previous years, when deadlines have been in January, April and October.
Small grants can be used to fund initial project planning, pilot studies, workshops, travel and data collection in the UK or abroad. They can also be used to fund part of a larger research project, and in fact the application forms ask for both the duration of the British Academy-funded portion of research and the length of the research as a whole.
In addition to the small grants, it's also worth checking the "special funds" which are administered by the British Academy:
British Academy – Special Funds
These cover a mixture of smaller awards – from £500 to £2,500 – which are targeted at specific research areas. For example, the Neil Ker Memorial Fund is dedicated to the study of Western medieval manuscripts, while the Stein-Arnold Exploration Fund encourages "research on the antiquities or historical geography or early history or arts of those parts of Asia which come within the sphere of the ancient civilisations of India, China, and Iran, including Central Asia".
These funding streams use the same British Academy small grant form and work to the same deadline. You should check the eligibility requirements carefully, as some of them contain further restrictions on the kind of work the award can fund.

- The Solar Power Community Share Offer is NOW CLOSED
We are an innovative social enterprise that enables local people to take ownership of renewable energy projects.
As a community-owned coop, we want to benefit the city, its people and the environment. One element of this is sharing the financial benefits between shareholders, a fund for community project and investment in further energy projects.
This is just the first step. Community energy projects are making a difference across the country, strengthening communities, helping the local economy and reconnecting people to the energy they use, as they became producers as well as consumers.
Our aim is to bring together people who are interested in building a sustainable future for our community, who care about climate change and the depletion of resources, and who want to reduce fuel bills, promote energy efficiency and address fuel poverty.
We can work together to learn and change the way we produce, use and think about energy, and in doing so create a more sustainable, resilient and prosperous community.
- ECOE Community Share Offer NOW CLOSED, £390,000 raised within 3 weeks

Evergreen Junior High School Reviews
I prepare for three years at Evergreen Junior high, was one of the best school I ever been to, the work of teachers and principals that contributing to the studies of the students are amazing.
I think it's a unique place, all of the staff seem to really care about what happens to the average student. You don't have to be a someone to be accepted. Each teacher brings their own twist to everything, giving us the different opinions we need to make our own opinions. The school is always clean, and ready. The plays they put on are amazing, each one fit to the talents of that student body for that year. They let you know what's happening, so your not wandering in the dark. They award student's a "Student of the Month". They sometimes pick the kids who feel left out, or forgotten. That goes back to the begining. Evergreen is really a place for great learning!
If I were to change anything it would be that they look around for drugs. I think many people would be surprised at what they found. One thing with the "Student of the Month" though is that the kids that worked so hard to get that, and don't, can feel pretty bad.

Architect's Knowledge ResourceDocuments
The Role of Renewable Energy Credits Today
By Lauren Newsom
Wind farms generate pollution-free power that reduces dependence on fossil fuels and contributes to energy independence, while fighting global climate change. Building more wind power and educating people about the benefits is crucial to the future of the energy options available in the United States.
The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change cites wind power as a key mitigation technology available today to reduce carbon emissions in the energy supply. If wind power provided 20% of the nation's electricity (an achievable goal supported by many including President Bush), according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), it could displace enough coal-fired plants to reduce the United States carbon dioxide emissions by one third.
The AWEA states that "the U.S. wind energy industry continued new installations at a breakneck pace in the first quarter of 2008, putting 1,400 megawatts (MW) or approximately $3 billion worth of new generating capacity in place—enough to serve the equivalent of 400,000 homes." While this is an impressive pace, to achieve the 20% goal, installations of new wind power capacity would increase to more than 16,000 megawatts per year by 2018, and continue at that rate through 2030.
In 2008, over 70% of the U.S. electricity is produced by burning harmful fossil fuels like coal and gas. Conventional energy production is the leading cause of industrial air pollution. Fossil fuel plants emit pollution that causes smog and promotes asthma and other respiratory infections. According to the American Lung Association, more than 64 million Americans breathe air that has enough particulate pollutants to put their health at risk. Turning to wind power to produce electricity is a sensible alternative as electricity produced by wind power does not contribute to air pollution.
While not a benefit to the quest for energy independence, wind power supports farmers and rural development by providing a new source of revenue for farmers and their communities. Wind farms can be installed without significant impacts on existing farming operations. AWEA asserts that for a 250-acre farm, the annual income from a wind lease could be $14,000, with no more than 2-3 acres removed from production. Wind power also supports a significant number of manufacturing jobs to create turbine parts. Achieving a 20% wind energy supply would support roughly 500,000 jobs in the US, with more than 150,000 directly employed by the wind industry.
Buying Wind Power
There are two ways for entities to buy wind power. The first way to buy wind energy is to build a wind turbine on or nearby a building that will be using the energy. The wind power is piped directly into the building and used at the generating source. This type of implementation is called On-Site generation. The second way to utilize wind power is to fund wind power generation on the national power grid by purchasing renewable energy credits (RECs).
One must first understand the national energy grid in order to understand RECs. The power grid is like a big bathtub filled with electrons. Power generators of all types continually fill this bathtub with electrons and consumers drain the bathtub of energy at a similar rate. Because all of the energy is mixed together, it is impossible to request specific electrons from this pool or to distinguish between the electrons produced by 'clean' or 'dirty' methods. Renewable energy producers generate RECs every time they generate electricity in a 1:1 ratio of MWh produced to RECs available. By purchasing RECs in accordance with how much electricity a company or building uses, it is ensured that the same amount of clean, renewable energy will be replaced to the power grid, or into the 'bathtub' on their behalf.
Benefits of Renewable Energy Credits
There are many benefits to choosing to offset electricity through RECs:
1. Organizations are able to claim the environmental benefit and CO2 reductions by choosing green power. As more large companies, government institutions, non-profit organizations, and LEED projects choose RECs, more renewable energy is brought on line on a large scale. Unlike on-site renewable energy generation, a building does not have to be situated in a windy area to make a choice for renewables. In fact, anyone, anywhere in the United States, from a Fortune 500 company to a student in a dorm room, is eligible to offset their electricity use with renewable energy credits.
2. Through RECs, renewable energy development is encouraged in the most practical locations and supports efficient, large-scale projects where renewable resources are plentiful.
3. Utilizing renewable energy in accordance with efficiency strategies allows individuals and businesses to take full responsibility for the environmental impacts of electricity use.
4. Organizations can realize educational and marketing opportunities for their stakeholders, employees, and clients.
5. Most LEED projects can earn 1-5 LEED points by implementing grid source green power through RECs.
As the energy infrastructure continues to change in the US, it's important to look at the potential for alternative sources. According to Randall Swisher, the Executive Director of AWEA, "wind power can provide 20% of the nation's electricity by 2030, and be a critical part of the solution to global warming." Offsetting through RECs is a vote in this direction.
Lauren Newsom, LEED AP is a Regional Sales Manager for Renewable Choice Energy. Renewable Choice has provided green power to over 450 LEED projects, Ms. Newsom speaks frequently to educate the public and raise awareness on the potential of renewable energy.

Guess what??
My Mother's Day was great! How was yours?
wow, very nice... I like all the homemade cards.
My mother's day was great as well, thanks... :O)
My mothers day was fantastic.
Great! Marie (my 2nd grader) brought home a ceramic coaster she made. She drew a beautiful butterfly on it and wrote "You're Pretty."
They also made a big card out of construction paper. On the inside, they glued a questionaire about your mom. (Her favorite food, thing you like most about her, etc). It was so cute! :)
Mine was great too. I got some cute homemade things and a couple things I wanted =)

Harlem Globetrotters World Tour stops in Phoenix
PHOENIX - The Harlem Globetrotters are a paid advertiser of Sonoran Living Live
The Harlem Globetrotters play a doubleheader US Airways Center on Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 2:00pm and 7:00pm. Tickets for the game are on sale now and are priced at $25.75, $29.75, $34.75, $40.75, $59.75, $82.75 (VIP), and $137.75 (Courtside) including fees. Magic Pass access to the interactive pre-game show may be added for $20. Tickets are available at the US Airways Center Ticket Office.
Rookie Mighty Mitchell shared a tie to the Harlem Globetrotters team even before she set foot on the
floor with the basketball icons. Mighty attended Dillard University in New Orleans, which was also the
alma mater of "Supertrotter" Billy Ray Hobley ( HAH-blee), who was posthumously honored by the
Globetrotters with the team's "Legends" award in Feb. 2011 in New Orleans.
She is proud to carry on that tradition and that of Globetrotter female players, joining fellow rookie TTime
Brawner as the 10th and 11th females to ever play for the Globetrotters, and star TNT Maddox as
one of three females currently on the team.
Mighty was a three-time all-conference three all selection at Dillard and led the team in points, field goals, and
three-pointers as a senior. This was following an outstanding high school career, where she garnered
all-district honors four times at St. James High School in St. James, La., the same school attended by
New York Giants star defensive back Corey Webster, whom Mighty is close friends with and cites as
the sports figure that has had the biggest impact on her.
Walk into Mighty's kitchen, and you might get the aroma of shrimp stew, chicken Alfredo pasta, gumbo,
BBQ ribs, or some other tasty dish. Mighty is a great cook and would even love to be on a show like
"Top Chef" or "The Great Food Truck Race." Now, she is cooking up smiles with the world's most
famous basketball team.
By joining the Globetrotters, Mighty wants the message to young girls to be that, "Women are strong,
dedicated, and ambitious. Never let anyone tell you that a task is impossible. It's important to set high
standards for yourself, and hard work will help you achieve them."
A lover of dogs, Mighty owns a Teacup Poodle. She is also a fan of the Miami Heat and actor Denzel
Washington. Her favorite subject in school was science, and she graduated college with a degree in
public health.
When asked whether she would skydive or bungee jump, Mighty replies, "Neither, I'm terrified of
heights!" But Mighty is excited about the heights she can reach with the Harlem Globetrotters.
Ant Atkinson's boundless energy, deft shooting touch, ball handling mastery, and quick wit has made
him a fan favorite. "The camaraderie with the guys is unbelievable," Ant says. "We have great
A First Team All-American at Barton College, Ant will long be remembered for leading one of the
greatest comebacks in the history of college basketball, scoring 10 points in the last 39 seconds
(including a layup at the buzzer) of the Bulldogs' heart-stopping 77-75 win over top-ranked Winona
State in the 2007 NCAA Division II National Championship game.
The rally became a YouTube sensation and gained even more notoriety as a runner-up in the Best
Finish category at the 2007 ESPY Awards. The performance also is ranked second on the list of Best
Storybook Endings (including all divisions, genders and sports) in the last three decades by NCAA
Champion Magazine. Ant provides another brand of excitement each time he launches a 4-point shot,
the Globetrotter innovation that is 35 feet away from the basket.
Ant has the distinction of being the top pick in the Harlem Globetrotters' first-ever player draft. Since
then, he has traveled the world (he had never been outside the U.S. before becoming a Globetrotter);
played atop the old Spectrum in Philadelphia and in a dark gym while wearing a glow-in-the-dark
uniform; and he's put President Barack Obama through his paces on the basketball court during the
annual White House Easter Egg Roll. Ant's talents have also been on display for TV audiences on
"The Celebrity Apprentice," "The Bachelorette," "Sesame Street," "Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss
Edition," "TODAY," "Good Morning America," and "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?"
Born in Wilson, N.C., Ant is a fan of the North Carolina Tar Heels and Carolina Panthers, and his
hobbies include playing the drums and video games. Ray Allen is his favorite basketball player
because, as Ant says, "He's smooth, and his jump shot is so pure."
When Ant finished college, he knew he would continue his basketball career, "but the fact that it's with
the Harlem Globetrotters makes it that much better," he explains. "This is the most fun a person can
have playing basketball, and bringing smiles and entertainment to kids and families is unbelievable."
Hi-Lite Bruton (BROO-tun) is a crowd favorite because of his high-flying slam dunks, but you
would be surprised to know that
he didn't dunk for the first time until he was a senior in high
Just as amazing, Hi-Lite did not play organized basketball before enrolling at Benedict College
in Columbia, S.C., where he impressed the men's head basketball coach during a pickup
game and was offered a spot on the team. Hi-Lite's basketball career skyrocketed, as he went
on to earn NAIA First Team All-America honors and win the 1994 College Slam Dunk Contest
as a college senior.
He was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1994, but various injuries derailed his NBA
career. Undeterred, Hi-Lite continued to play professionally, during which time one of his
coaches, Milton Barnes (who was a former Globetrotters coach) recommended he give the
Globetrotters a shot, and he signed a contract with the team in 2001. He feels blessed to be
able to share his athletic gift and spread joy around the world.
His Globetrotter travels have taken Hi-Lite to dozens of countries, and he has played in some
very unique settings, from games on aircrafts carriers when the team has visited U.S. military
personnel, to being part of the first professional basketball game ever played on ice in New
York City's Central Park in 2010. He has also been a guest on the popular "Wendy Williams
Show" and got to share the stage at the famous Grand Ole Opry with legendary country music
stars like Charlie Daniels.
Hi-Lite cites his grandmother as his hero, because she raised him and 12 other kids. His
grandmother would take the kids fishing every summer in South Carolina, and fishing is a
hobby that Hi-Lite enjoys to this day.

Prancer trails vines from its antlers during several days AWOL in 1963 from its home on a Schofield deer farm, raising havoc in the Wausau area until captured in a midnight battle.
- Filed Under
1963: AWOL deer battles to stay free
"Prancer," the AWOL deer, was safely returned to its home at the Charles Huckbody deer farm in rural Schofield after cavorting around the Wausau area for several days in autumn 1963 and putting up a fight to retain its freedom, according to the Oct. 23 edition of the Wausau Daily Record-Herald that year.
Warden Harry Borner had been tracking the deer and even tried feeding Prancer food laced with tranquilizers, but the savvy animal turned up its nose and turned tail again.
Borner and police officers finally caught up to Prancer after midnight on a Saturday while the animal was enjoying a flower garden behind a thick hedge near Fifth and Division streets. That was when the officers called on Larry Detjens, 19, of Sherman Street in Wausau, a horseman who had been practicing with a lariat for about two years.
"We shined lights into Prancer's eyes as Larry crept up on him behind the hedge. He tossed his lasso and dropped it on his antlers," Borner told a reporter. "All hell broke loose. That deer went straight up in the air."
The hedge prevented the deer from attacking Detjens, who tried snubbing the rope on a birdhouse pole. The pole snapped.
"For a few moments he was dragging Larry across the ground. I dropped a rope over his antlers so we could keep the deer from charging," Borner continued. He snubbed the rope on a tree, and the deer went airborne again. "When he came down on his back, all four feet were kicking. Larry dropped another lasso over Prancer's hind legs."
Thusly trussed, Prancer received "a couple shots to quiet him" from a veterinarian. And the crew transported the reindeer cousin back to Huckbody's farm.
Despite the late hour, the ruckus raised a large crowd. "The women in the crowd were on the side of the deer," Borner said. "They were cheering him on."
The newspaper reported this was Detjens' "first encounter with an unwilling subject," and he and Borner had the rope-burned hands to prove their involvement in the midnight battle.

App Store downloads reach 30B, devs paid more than $5B
updated 01:44 pm EDT, Mon June 11, 2012
Over 225k apps specifically for iPad
Apple kicked off its WWDC keynote by highlighting its latest App Store metrics, boasting that overall downloads have surpassed 30 billion. The company also noted that developers have fetched more than $5 billion in payments from the iOS app portal, which breaks down to a $1 in revenue for every six downloads.
The revenues have been passed through a total of 400 million App Store accounts. CEO Tim Cook claims the App Store represents the largest number of accounts with credit cards on the Internet.
The executive suggests the portal represents "the most vibrant app ecosystem on the planet," achieving "phenomenal" size and momentum. Cook also took a dig at Android, claiming the competition only has a "few hundred" tablet-oriented apps while the App Store has more than 225,000 designed specifically for the iPad.
"For Apple, and I suspect many of you, our goal has always been to do great work and to make a difference in other people's lives," Cook told attendees at the developer conference. "Nothing makes use happier than to see hundreds of thousands of devs around the world using our hardware and our software to share their latest and greatest ideas."

Telus HSPA live with iPhone, HTC Hero, LG BL40
updated 08:55 am EST, Thu November 5, 2009
Telus HSPA launches with new phones
Telus this morning took its turn at launching its own HSPA+ network and new devices, including the iPhone. It sells the iPhone 3G and both the 16GB and 32GB iPhone 3GS units at the same $100, $200 and $300 prices as at Bell and Rogers on a three-year contract. The plans are slightly different than Bell's and start with a $50 Clear Choice iPhone plan that provides 150 minutes, unlimited evenings and weekends after 9PM and 500MB of data with tethering but supplies the perk of either unlimited local calls and MMS/SMS messaging to five numbers, double the minutes, or 1,000 outbound (unlimited inbound) messages.
A higher-end $65 plan jumps to 250 minutes and 1GB of data. At $80, the perks can include five-number unlimited calling nationwide as well as unlimited messaging on top of 400 minutes and 2GB of data. A $100 plan builds on this with 500 minutes and 3GB of data.
Several additional devices have joined the network and include the first Android phone outside of Rogers: the HTC Hero is an import of the original, rectangular European version of the touchscreen smartphone adapted to North American 7.2Mbps HSPA and has the same Sense UI, 5-megapixel camera, GPS and Wi-Fi as all editions. It costs $100 on a contract.
Also part of the mix are the LG New Chocolate, a North America-ready version of the BL40 and its ultra-narrow touchscreen design that also sells for $100; the BlackBerry Bold 9700, which costs higher than at Bell at $250; the Nokia E71 at $30; and the Sierra Wireless 306, a 21Mbps HSPA+ USB modem that can use a shorter two-year data contract to reach its minimum $80 price.
All of the devices are available to order today. Non-iPhone smartphone plans are identical to those for the Apple devices, while any 3G modem can use data plans that start at $30 for 500MB of monthly usage and scale up to $85 for 5GB.

In the wake of the Republicans' recently announced "Pledge to America," liberals have responded with sharp criticism of their rivals' agenda.
According to Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine, the 21-page document crafted by GOP House leaders will send the United States back to the same Bush-era policies that led to "a second Great Depression."
Kaine urged voters to consider the repercussions of a Republican-controlled Congress that plans to extend tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
"Do we continue to have Democrats making it the job of the government to fight for working families or do we permit Republicans to use government to benefit special interests at the expense of the American people?" Kaine said.
The "Pledge to America" has garnered disapproval from some conservative pundits, as well. Erick Erickson of RedState.com said the pledge is "an illusion" that focuses on issues the GOP should already be tackling, and it doesn't include plans for dealing with the long-term role of the Federal government.
For Republicans to gain a majority in the House of Representatives, they need a net gain of 39 seats in November's midterm elections.

A sexy "lobbyist" named Destiny, who Nicholson uses to seduce politicians on Capitol Hill, attempts to bed Senator Tanner.
"You all know how badly I despise Obamacare," Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) told a Capitol Hill news conference on Tuesday.
Why has a proposal to slap higher taxes on millionaires surfaced four times on Capitol Hill in the last year?
But if it comes to a fight, will the Republicans have any backup outside Capitol Hill?
The president should have said it would lead to a cut in overtime for Capitol Hill janitors, causing them to ... earn less pay.
If you want to know what New York State is like you want to find out how much the Capitol building there cost.
He had his own ship on a line with the Capitol in a matter of seconds.
It was in the latter part of April, 1833, that they reached the Capitol, under the escort of an officer of the army.
Congress had voted money for mural paintings for the rotunda of the Capitol.
A few days later, while what Carlotta had said was fresh in my mind, he overtook me walking to the Capitol.
"building where U.S. Congress meets," 1793 (in writings of Thomas Jefferson), from Latin Capitolium, temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus on the Capitoline Hill in ancient Rome. Used earlier of Virginia state houses (1699). Its use in American public architecture deliberately evokes Roman republican imagery. With reference to the Roman citadel, it is recorded in English from late 14c., via Old North French capitolie. Relationship of Capitoline to capital is likely but not certain.

Homeopathy is Nonsense or Real
Fever, runny nose, cough, headache or flu, we want to be healthy as soon as possible. If not visit a doctor, at our best, we prescribe a cough drop and put the worst preventive antibiotics, try to stay in bed at least a day or two, trying the best homemade recipes and hot herbal, preferably with a good dose of brandy. At the mention of homeopathy, it shakes your vital force and just helps you, at least not as quickly as we needed. What is homeopathy and how does it work?
There are plenty of skeptics who doubt that in those sweet balls sold in pharmacies are really any molecules of active substances, and consider it a mere placebo to be effective. But no one doubts about miracles, faith, and that can auto-suggestion. Why not doubt that such are treated similarly?
Homeopathy is a complete healing system based on the principle of similarity. Similarly treated like – "similia similibus curantur". In practice this means that if a healthy person take a couple of balls of belladonna (Atropa belladonna), very soon he feel the rush of heat, it begins to throb in his head, he will have a dry mouth, there will be unpleasant delirium and hallucinations, irritability states, There will also be facial flushing, and above all the staring and dilated pupils, which is the most typical symptom of intoxication. These symptoms often occur at such a fever patient to ingest any beads belladonna. So why, in this case, try to bring in the form of belladonna properly diluted homeopathic medicine?
In other words: a substance that produces symptoms in a healthy person, in very small quantities I can cure the same symptoms.
A German physician Samuel Hahneman (1755 – 1843) tested a number of different substances, including plants, animals, and minerals and determine their optimal dilutions. Eventually it was discovered and tested that in much more active substances from which it is possible to prepare a homeopathic remedy. Practically it is possible to prepare a homeopathic remedy from absolutely anything. It used a variety of bacteria, even the cancerous tissue or secretions and a large number of poisons. The amount of dilution in these substances completely safe and there were no adverse effects.
Homeopathic medicines are sold mostly in the form globules, tinctures and ointments. Most of them are freely salable.
Homeopathy treats the whole person patient, not just the symptoms of the disease. The most commonly used to treat chronic diseases. It also helps to relieve various mental blocks and trauma. Drugs are prepared in the low and high dilution, which is true, that the psychological symptoms rather choose a higher dilution, the lower the natural.
Drugs acting on the subtle level, so that their effects do not even know. It is important to choose the right medicine.
The homeopathic treatment is usually recommended to avoid addiction, irritant and stimulant substances, tobacco and toothpastes, gums or sweets containing menthol. Some sources also warned against electromagnetic radiation. List of all homeopathic medicines and basic symptoms can be found in the Book of Materia Medica, which is considered the bible of homeopathy.

Post-partum shapewear for new moms
When asked how she got back into pre-baby shape so quickly, Jessica Alba recently told magazines her secret was wearing a corset non-stop for the first three months after her baby was born. While some think this sounds a little extreme (and painful), lighter and more comfortable post-partum shapewear is exponentially increasing in popularity. For a little extra support as the abdomen shrinks or for full-on girdle-like shaping to, there are dozens of popular products on the market now to give new moms a little extra help to bounce back quickly. Do they work? Reviews seem to be mixed. Still, a little extra support can't be a bad thing.

Comrade John Spratt has recently voted yes to increase your utility bill by $1,000 per year.
His choice was to support his party or support the families of South Carolina. He chose his party. Comrade Spratt is a loyal subject of his party.
The bill will increase gas prices and tax all manufacturing companies in the United States. Their taxes will be passed along to us.
Families will pay for these taxes in many, many ways.
Regarding national health care, Comrade Spratt will support this bill as a loyal subject of his party.
Many volunteers showed up early morning on July 4 to begin getting ready for the TEA Party. We hoped it would be a success, but were a little concerned with it being a holiday.
By noon Main Street had been blocked off and the street was full of people. We had people in town visiting relatives as far away as Texas, Florida and Pennsylvania. Of course, most of the people were local.

Sevin dust might be a gardener's best friend, but it is a beekeeper's worst nightmare.
Just ask Robert Lee Steele; he wears both a farmer's cap and a beekeeper's sun helmet.

Legend has it that enlisted soldiers came up with a phrase after noticing how their mess hall portions of pork always contained shoulder and leg cuts, while officers got top loin, pork chops and ham.
They called it "livin' high off the hog."
Given that, you wouldn't think bacon – meat taken from the sides, belly or back of a pig that's been cured, smoked or both – would be so sought-after by foodies, chefs in five-star eateries and TV cooking shows.
