A consistently frustrating aspect of trying to change the energy landscape is that most people basically agree on the solution. In short, we need to use less energy, and do more to invest in clean energy. If we can get aligned on the outcome, why is it so hard to get aligned on a path forward? One major obstacle is that incentives for critical players often stand in opposition to one another. Recognizing these situations, and finding creative solutions, can create win-win outcomes for everyone.
Take for example energy efficiency. A classic case of misaligned incentives is the landlord-tenant problem. In rental buildings where tenants pay their utility bills, landlords have little incentive to make energy efficiency improvements. Landlords who fronted money for insulation, for example, wouldn't see any savings, while tenants would see lower bills. Alternately, landlords who pick up the utility bill for their tenants can unleash a whole other world of moral hazard, such as tenants who run their air conditioners all day long.
The good news is that mismatched incentives are not typically intractable problems. In fact, we are seeing many solutions to the issue of mismatched incentives. Shorenstein Properties, which owns and manages 23 million square feet of commercial office space, tackled the landlord-tenant problem head on, working with EDF to improve the energy performance of its portfolio. Through the development of "green leases," landlords were able to recover energy efficiency improvement costs through energy savings, as well as tenant engagement in energy efficiency.
The payback?
A 5.1 percent energy reduction across the portfolio, resulting in savings of $1.7 million and payback periods of around six months!
On a broader scale, policymakers have long recognized that utilities which are compensated based on how much energy they deliver have a disincentive to encourage energy efficiency. Decoupling policies, which unlink utility compensation from the amount of energy delivered, have now been adopted across 25 states — a major increase from 2009 when just 17 states had such policies. These policies often open the door for better utility-run energy efficiency programs.
Even if you don't have 23 million square feet of commercial real estate, or the rule-making authority of a public commission, you do have many opportunities to realign incentives to create change. While most popular in the commercial sector, residential green leases are gaining traction. You can also work with your office management staff to explore green lease options: the green lease library has some resources to get you started. This lesson of incentives can apply to a wide range of challenges, from recycling to water. While the specific tactics can vary, two of the key elements for success are persistence and creativity. In the comments, share some ideas for how tackling incentives can create change on a small and large scale.

Use a very secure password. Then even if someone steals your palmtop,
security isn't damaged. Do a google search for 'diceware'. A 10 word
diceware passphrase, without any fancy capitalisation/extra symbols, etc.,
is better than the 128 bit encryption for most of the symmetric encryption,
and is equivalent to being more secure than a 2048 bit private/public DH/DSS
keypair. And it's dead easy to remember. (Well, relatively)

Oracle RDBMS Server Articles
Oracle databases have many types of auditing features. In mandatory auditing, certain actions are always audited, regardless of the other audit options or parameters. Database activities, such as system startup and shutdown, are always recorded.
SQL tuning is one of the challenging tasks faced by DBAs and developers. It is an interesting and creative, but at the same time, daunting task. Manual tuning of SQL statements requires a high level of expertise and experience to understand and design suitable access paths to yield better response times. It is also a time consuming process. Other challenges include periodic collection of statistics and an ever-changing workload. And in a typical application, there are just too many SQL statements to tune.
This article focuses on the new features aimed at database management. Self-management, or easy management, has been the key word for Oracle 10g. The main areas of enhancements are:
One of the most important responsibilities of an Oracle Database Administrator or Performance Analyst, when it comes to performance diagnostics, is to determine how users access the database. This article is an attempt to show the different ways one can activate tracing of an Oracle session for performance diagnostics. While the Oracle documentation mentions some of the methods, it doesn't cover them all. This article consolidates many methods of tracing an Oracle session, some of which are well documented, as well as methods that are undocumented and reserved.
Is there any limit to the speed of Oracle? With Oracle announcing a new record one million transactions per minute, many believe that there is nothing that Oracle cannot do.
However, what if we have a requirement for a system that must accept high-volume data loads into a single table:
Is this possible? Using the right tricks you can make Oracle load data at unbelievable speed. However, special knowledge and tricks are required.
Oracle Managed Files (OMF), a new feature introduced in Oracle9i, enables the Oracle Server to automatically create and delete database files using standard operating system interfaces. This
feature hugely simplifies the job of the DBA, as the DBA doesn't need to interact with the underlying operating system to create and delete files.
When an Oracle Instance is started, the characteristics of the Instance are established by parameters specified within the initialization parameter file. These initialization parameters are either stored in a PFILE or SPFILE. SPFILEs are available in Oracle 9i and above. All prior releases of Oracle are using PFILEs.
Tables can be reorganized and redefined (evolved) on-line with the DBMS_REDEFINITION package. The process is similar to on-line rebuilds of indexes, in that the original table is left on-line, while a new copy of the table is built. However, an index index-rebuild is a singular operation, while table redefinition is a multi-step process.
When Oracle allocates space to a segment (like a table or index), a group of contiguous free blocks, called an extent, is added to the segment. Metadata regarding extent allocation and unallocated extents are either stored in the data dictionary, or in the tablespace itself. Tablespaces that record extent allocation in the dictionary, are called dictionary managed tablespaces, and tablespaces that record extent allocation in the tablespace header, are called locally managed tablespaces.
What are Temporary Tablespaces:
Temporary tablespaces are used to manage space for database sort operations and for storing global temporary tables. For example, if you join two large tables, and Oracle cannot do the sort in memory (see SORT_AREA_SIZE initialisation parameter), space will be allocated in a temporary tablespace for doing the sort operation. Other SQL operations that might require disk sorting are: CREATE INDEX, ANALYZE, Select DISTINCT, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, UNION, INTERSECT, MINUS, Sort-Merge joins, etc.
The DBA should assign a temporary tablespace to each user in the database to prevent them from allocating sort space in the SYSTEM tablespace. This can be done with one of the following commands:

When displayed vertically, the flag's stars should be on the left side, not on the right side as it was. According to federal law, it was wrong.
"It's just an eyesore to me," said Bury, a 74-year-old Aberdeen resident and self-described "flag fanatic," who learned the United States Flag Code in elementary school during World War II. "We have etiquette and it should be followed, just like using your napkin."
Esmeralda Diaz Cameron, a Booker spokeswoman, today blamed the error on the hotel. "Hotel management was responsible for these logistics," she said. Bill Gibson, head of the hotel's banquet department, declined comment.
This is one of the most common mistakes of flag display, said Carter Beard, whose family has owned the flag-making company Annin & Co for 150 years, now based in Roseland.
While hanging a flag backwards is not a "grave error," it should be corrected, he said.
"The flag is the physical representation of the ideas of our country, and I think that's why there's so much controversy around treating the flag properly," Beard said.
Bury has complained about vertical flags hung backwards in stores, banks, and even at the World Trade Center site during a ceremony several years ago. When a flag is hung either vertically or horizontally against a wall, the stars must always be to the observer's left, she said — "by your heart."

Labor Market Effects of the World Cup: A Sectoral Analysis
This paper provides an empirical examination of impact the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States on local employment. In contrast to ex ante economic impact reports that suggest large increases in employment due to the tournament, an ex post examination of employment in 9 host metropolitan areas finds no significant impact on employment from hosting World Cup games. Furthermore, an analysis of employment in specific sectors of the economy finds no impact from hosting games on employment in the leisure and hospitality and professional and business services sectors but a statistically significant negative impact on employment in the retail trade sector.

Disney Story: A Tale of 3 Sister's First Trip to WDWDisney Sisters
This post is sponsored by Disney Story. To find out more about this brand-new story-creation app and how it puts the power of storytelling in your hands – click here
Once Upon a Time…
There were 3 sisters that loved Disney so much, they took a trip to Walt Disney World together. They had so much fun and made so many memories, it was truly the trip of a lifetime! When they returned home from their magical journey, they wanted to document it in a special way. Photo albums, blog posts and scrap books were all nice, but they had been done before. They wanted something new, something that would inspire creativity…
It just so happened that Disney was busy creating an iPhone app called STORY. This program was the perfect tool to help these Disney Sisters to tell the story about their family vacation. It was simple, sleek, fun, and put the magic of storytelling right in the palms of their hands, literally! Word was getting out around town about how incredible Disney's Story really was. Soon people were using it to tell stories of Romance, Adventure, Friendship, Entertainment, and Grand Celebrations! The sisters fell in love with Story and it became one of their favorite ways to document their memories.
…And They All Lived Happily Ever After.
The End.

The Bongos
The band that put Hoboken, N.J. on the rock map started out in 1980 with a style that was perilously cute, sweet, acoustic and folkie. That was just an undercurrent in the quartet's personality, but the flavor was unmistakable and could have washed them up. Neither surrendering to that tendency nor abandoning it, the Bongos kept pitting that side of themselves against their apparently equal love of gritty, fuzzy guitar, high-energy atmosphere and savvy dance rhythms. With Beat Hotel, their third release, the Bongos have raised these opposing tensions to the point where they brilliantly fuse. Typical is the giddy melody of Space Jungle, which might pop like a balloon of bubble gum were it not for the nervy, jangly guitar accompaniment, the bright sound of Richard Barone's voice and the driving beat. Equally striking is the way the aggressive, urgent verse of the title cut, with its slashing bass-and-guitar figure, plays against the slow, buoying chorus ("Take me one hundred stories up to the moon"). Boyish and fanciful, yet whip-crackingly insistent and sexy, the Bongos have elevated their contradictions into one of the most stimulating pop-rock sounds around. (RCA)

Program for Park City School District Elementary Schools
The Kimball Art Center & Park City Education Foundation are that the start of the E.V.A. (Elementary Visual Arts) is off and running. This art program will be in Park City School Districts Public Elementary Schools and include, Jeremy Ranch, McPolin, Parley's Park & Trailside Elementary Schools. We believe the visual arts are an important part of every child's education.
The EVA program's mission is to allow every elementary school student in the Park City School District to experience the visual arts through their unique creativity. The goal of EVA is to provide elementary school children with a solid foundation in the visual arts which allows immediate, creative expression and creates a foundation and continued participation at higher levels of learning.
Each lesson plan has been created by the Kimball Art Center's Education Department, and focuses on teaching visual arts with a tie to core subjects such as Math, Science, Reading, Writing, History, Geography and Language Arts. The Kimball Art Center works with each EVA Art School Coordinator and volunteers to provide a cohesive, district wide program and will provide supplemental online materials for teacher, parent and public use. If you have questions about this program in Park City Public Elementary Schools, feel free to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
EVA has been made possible thanks to generous private donations to Park City Education Foundation and Kimball Art Center.

Hulu Plus vs Netflix vs Apple TV vs Cable
So im thinking of ditching cable.... i really only need internet. i download most of my movies from sites and whatnot and watch alot of fights streamed or downloaded.
im not a big TV viewer, but my wife likes some occasional shows.
so i ponder getting hulu plus @ 9.99/month, Netflix @ 8.99/month and upping my PSN to PSN Plus for $50/year
they both work with the ps3 and online obviously and hulu plus has an iPhone app. (which my wife and i both have iPhones)
also im thinking of maybe adding apple TV just to get anything left that isnt available.... its only a one time $99 purchase and the rarity you buy something its 99cents an episode. it too is netflix compatible.
all this to get rid of my cable, which is probably $70 of my total Fios bill
now the only downside is these applications dont host NFL games, so im stuck to trying to find a good stream.... and that wont work out too hot when i have company over etc
anyone have some good experience with this kinda situation?

I have Netflix, that plus (free) Hulu, is fine for me.
I pretty much only use TV for basketball. But I mean, it's nice to have cable, too. It all depends on what you want to watch.

A few men's underwear stories caught our eye this week:
- Jack White won't be caught without his pants this summer - he packs "so much underwear it's obscene" in his festival survival kit, PA reveals.
- And still on a musical theme, Nineties pop legend Jarvis Cocker is very chuffed that his underpants sold for twice as much as those donated by Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie at a recent charity auction, says Contact Music.
- Finally, if you think your underwear drawer could do with a some brightening up, how about Diesel's red trunks, £20, as seen in Bent magazine, right.

Lamb and Wool Queen Updates
they say "Don't blink," they really mean it! It is hard to believe how quicklythis year's Pa State Farm Show came
and went. For me, even though it
flew by, I can't think of a better way I would have liked to spend my first
week as the 2013 PA Lamb and Wool Queen. As
Sarah Grube finished out her reign during the opening ceremonies, I followed by
doing a demonstration on the Penn State Ag stage presenting lamb and wool facts
and explaining the sheep to shawl contests. I also spent a good number of hours at the booth spinning, answering the
many questions asked, meeting the other state commodity representatives, and
even had a craft for any of the kids to make their own pompom sheep! My brother told me later that he saw several parents walking around the
Farm Show holding their kids little sheep while the glue was still drying! On Wednesday of that week, I spent the entire morning at the youth Fleece
to Shawl contest cheering on the kids and conversing with intrigued spectators,
including Secretary George Greig and his wife. Later in the day, I had the opportunity to participate in the Sheep to
Shawl contest weaving for the team Just a Little Twisted. As the end of the week approached, I attended the open and junior sheep
shows and have to give a big thank you to all my little helpers who assisted me
with handing out all of those ribbons! I
also exhibited two of my Leicester Longwool sheep on Friday, one of which went
on to win Reserve Champion AOB Wool. Outside
of my reign as the lamb and wool queen, I also participated in a miniature horse
extravaganza with my miniature horse named Bumble and won Best in Show at the
rabbit show with my white English Angora named "Be My Wish." This past Farm Show week was a very memorable one for me, but, more
importantly, I look forward to what the rest of the year has in store!
Farm Show came and went, I then started prepping for this year's lambing
season. I always get excited when
those first little hooves of the year hit the ground and those beaming eyes
stare back at me. I decided it was
only appropriate to name my first set of ram lambs this year Chip and Dale and
was very thankful they decided to arrive over my spring break week! Coming up, I am planning on attending Fox Chase Farms open farm day and
the Keystone Classic show in June. More
importantly, I look forward to what the rest of the year has in store!
Happy lambing,
Ashley Shaw

Awards handed out at gala dinner in Beverly Hills
"When I got a call from the Israeli film group I was very excited. I thought they had a part for me in a movie," quipped honoree Kirk Douglas at the 23rd annual Israel Film Festival gala on June 11.
The kudos kicked off its celebration of Israel's 60th anniversary at the BevHilton by honoring the man who has been making movies longer than Israel has been a state.
Other award recipients included ICM topper Jeffrey Berg, veteran Israeli filmmaker Menahem Golan, and father-and-son duo Carl and Rob Reiner.
When accepting his award, Carl Reiner brought his Borscht Belt shtick to Beverly Hills. His critique of the evening? "You know the phrase 'first you eat, then you talk…,' " he said before adding, "I'm the silliest 86-year-old person in the world."
As the crowd, which included Jeff Goldblum, Jon Voight, Gil Gates, Avi Lerner and Consul General of Israel Jacob Dayan, headed out to the valet, mistress of ceremonies Lainie Kazan wished everyone a "lila tov" (good night in Hebrew).

CLOWN WITHOUT PITY: At Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus in New York, not everyone's attention was on the action in the three rings. Sitting in the bleachers applauding wildly were Larry Hagman and Maj, his wife of 30 years. "We travel all over the world going to circuses," Hagman explained. "We collect 'em. During the last couple of years, we've attended circuses in Moscow, Leningrad, China, Switzerland—all over Europe, in fact." If the nefarious J.R. could be any member of the big top, who would he be? "I'd definitely be a clown," he said. "They have the most fun and are in the least amount of danger." When a circus spokeswoman welcomed Hagman to The Greatest Show on Earth, he replied, "You mean the second greatest show. Dallas is the first."
ODD BODKINS: Joan Rivers, in London, told the Sunday Times, "You know how Yoko Ono got her name? John Lennon saw her naked and said, 'Oh, no!' "
THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY: In the Mickey Rooney-Ann Miller burlesque show Sugar Babies, Julie Miller performs with 12 white pigeons that are trained to perch on various parts of her body. When the touring musical moved from Grand Rapids to Cleveland recently, tragedy nearly struck. As airline workers were loading the crate containing the birds onto the plane, they dropped it. The birds escaped but were quickly retrieved and shipped. When the crate was unpacked in Cleveland, Little Harry, the star pigeon, was nowhere to be found. To the phone rushed Rooney, who called the airline, demanding that his co-star be found. After all, the show must go on, and who else could wing it? Amazingly Harry was located—and in the dark, too. Trained to fly to the nearest light, he was discovered hunkered down at the end of the runway. The airline immediately shipped Harry to Cleveland, not in a crate but in a box on a first-class seat (hope they showed a Walter Pidgeon film). Little Harry (named after the show's late producer, Harry Rigby) was on time for the opening performance.
DON'T PLAY IT AGAIN, MA'AM: Shelley Winters is not happy about audience reaction to her recent show, two one-act plays, called Epiphany and the Snow Angel, which had an aborted run in the Chicago suburb of Oakbrook Terrace. During one intermission a disgruntled patron passed around a petition that read, "If you think this is the worst play you ever saw in your life, please sign." Sixty-one signatures appeared. "I don't know what's the matter with these people," Winters says. "I think, first of all, they're disappointed that I'm alive. They must have come here expecting to see me in a movie. I guess all they're used to is sitcoms. Anyway what can you expect? There's a Billy Graham center down the road from wherever the hell this is. Where am I?"
WHO ARE YOU NOW? Alan Arkin was musing on the various stages in one's acting career. "First," he said, "it's 'Who's Alan Arkin?' Then, 'Get me Alan Arkin!' Then, 'He's too expensive. Get me an Alan Arkin type.' Just after that it's, 'Get me a young Alan Arkin,' and then, finally, 'Who's Alan Arkin?' "
GRIN AND BEAR IT: For the first time in 40 years, Smokey the Bear has been yanked from the spotlight in the U.S. Forest Service's ad campaign. Although he built an illustrious career reminding Americans that "Only you can prevent forest fires," the benevolent big guy is being put into hibernation. The new public service spots are much more grizzly. They follow an average citizen through a jailhouse booking and into the slammer while Leonard Nimoy intones, "If you're guilty of starting a forest fire—even accidentally—you'll pay for it." Smokey's face appears momentarily at the end. Explains an exec at the Los Angeles advertising office of Foote, Cone & Belding: "Adults in this country no longer take a talking bear seriously."

To develop a truly European property law, which can function as a new "ius commune" bringing together the various European property law traditions (common law, civil law, mixed jurisdictions), a thought process of deconstruction and reconstruction is needed. This article develops a research agenda for such a thought process. It focuses on Europe's so-called "economic constitution" and the building blocks of property law systems; it also presents a preliminary analysis of the subjects, objects, legal relations and policy choices upon which a European property law can be built.

CBS and ABC noticed FBI Director James Comey's dramatic testimony before Congress on Wednesday... just not the part that was about Hillary Clinton. Good Morning America and CBS This Morning focused on what Comey had to say about the threat from Russia hacking the upcoming election, but they excluded the director being grilled over not charging Clinton, as well as the decision to give immunity to certain aides. NBC's Today show, a four hour-long program, totally ignored all of Comey's testimony.

There's no telling how many celebrities have gotten naked for Bill Clinton. But we know of at least a couple who've stripped for Hillary. On September 26, pop star Katy Perry posted a sneak-peek picture of herself nude on Twitter as part of a "Funny or Die" video to increase voter registration. In it, Perry explains, "You can look like shit when you vote."

In a narrow sense, the item discussed here really shouldn't be newsworthy, because it's based on history which has for all practical purposes long been settled. But now that it's being treated as news, let's look into the can of worms at least two media outlets have chosen to open, perhaps without fully grasping the consequences of their doing so.
Leada Gore, an AL.com reporter who says she's "been covering Alabama news for more than 20 years," reported Tuesday morning that Ed Henry, an Alabama lawmaker who is also the state's Donald Trump for President co-chair, tweeted a sharp response to accusations of sexism directed at Trump by Hillary Clinton in Monday night's debate, specifically: "It is ironic that Lying Hillary blast (sic) Trump as a sexist when she is married to Bill, who is likely a rapist." We're supposed to believe that this tweet is controversial or over the top. It is, of course, no such thing.

A Maryland high school student government association has abandoned the traditional monarchy without the consent of the governed. On September 23, the SGA officers of Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School voted on a proposition to make its homecoming court policy more … "inclusive." The SGA felt that having a "king" and a "queen" was too restrictive and gender-normative; thus, the group voted 4 to 1 to make the court gender-neutral. Yet, apparently, the student population was not asked to weigh in on the decision.

Muir's praise was accompanied with the flattering on-screen headline "Hillary's Secret Weapon."

FBI Director James Comey appeared before the House Oversight Committee Wednesday, where Congressional Republicans unloaded on him for giving immunity to people they accused of being liars.

But even such incendiary accusations flying around a congressional hearing, ABC, CBS, and NBC yawned.

Lester Holt was wrong on the subject of "stop and frisk" during Monday's presidential debate. Is that criticism coming from supporters of Donald Trump? Yes but, more importantly, it is also coming from liberal sources as well including Ed Kilgore of the not exactly Trump-friendly New York Magazine.

Howard Dean Doubles Down on Trump 'Using Coke?'; Chris Cillizza Says 'We Should Be Talking More' About ItBy Tom Blumer | | September 28, 2016 | 5:42 PM EDT
During Monday night's presidential debate, former DNC chairman and 2004 presidential candidate Howard Dean tweeted: "Notice Trump sniffing all the time. Coke user?" Even the tabloid site TMZ described Dean's tweet as a "low blow." Unbowed, Dean doubled down at MSNBC on Tuesday, to the point where a clearly uncomfortable Kate Snow tried to maneuver him into backing away a bit. He wouldn't, which is fine with Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post, who told the network's Peter Alexander on Wednesday that "we should probably be talking more about" Dean's speculation.

The British Broadcasting Corporation announced on Monday that former MSNBC host Martin Bashir has been hired to serve as the network's new religious affairs correspondent. The news release referred to Bashir as an "award-winning journalist" who has conducted "high-profile interviews" as well as "making ground-breaking, landmark documentaries."
Of course, there was no mention of the incident during November of 2013, when he made a disgraceful rant regarding former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, whom he called "America's resident dunce" and claimed she has a "deceased mind." He then went so far as to suggest that someone should defecate in her mouth and urinate in her eyes.

The greatest difference between two hospital-services contracts proposed for the city of Amarillo can be described in one word — exclusivity.
Without an exclusive contract for hospital services for the 4,500 employees and dependents insured by the city of Amarillo, Baptist St. Anthony's Health System's plan would cost the city of Amarillo an estimated $34.9 million over five years.
Northwest Texas Healthcare System's proposal for nonexclusive hospital services would cost slightly more than $20 million for the same period.
City staff sought proposals for a long-term contract, which would begin in the 2012 calendar year, because the previous Amarillo City Commission recommended testing the market for an open contract after a few years under the present contract with Baptist St. Anthony's, City Manager Jarrett Atkinson told the current commission Tuesday.
The present contract, adopted in 2009, was a one-year base contract with one-year extension options. It is an exclusive contract, Assistant City Manager Dean Frigo said.
When the commission meets next week, it will have to decide whether to accept the Northwest contract or take no action on the proposals and, instead, exercise another one-year extension with Baptist St. Anthony's.
The one-year extension would cost the city roughly $3 million, Frigo said.
Both proposals returned by the two hospitals call for a two-year base contract with three possible one-year extensions, he said.
"Neither one of them gave you a proposal that's better than what you already have," Atkinson told commissioners.
In seeking the proposals, city staff discussed how the proposal features would be evaluated with representatives of Baptist St. Anthony's and Northwest in advance — "an open-book test," as described by Commissioner Jim Simms, that laid out the criteria and the point values placed
on each.
"To be perfectly honest, both proposals were sure darn good," Frigo said.
"And better than the market (rate)," Atkinson interjected.
The criteria that swung the point scale to Northwest's favor was that it proposed the same $20.05 million contract whether the contract is exclusive or nonexclusive, Atkinson said.
Baptist St. Anthony's put forth a $17.1 million exclusive contract proposal and a $34.9 million nonexclusive contract proposal, according to Frigo's memo.
"If we had evaluated these (proposals) without the exclusivity (question), the dollar would have been the driver," Atkinson said.
The pricing portion of the evaluation actually showed BSA's proposal as the cheaper option, and both hospitals scored evenly on quality and patient satisfaction, based on U.S. Department of Health and Human Safety data, City Manager Jarrett Atkinson said.
Northwest got more points for the services it provides, according to a commission memo written by Frigo, for Northwest is treatment for Level 1 traumas.
Many traumas have to go to the highest-rated trauma hospital in the city, which is Northwest, Frigo's memo states.
Northwest also offers psychological services not offered by Baptist St. Anthony's, city staff said.
On the other hand, Baptist St. Anthony's can offer in-
patient rehabilitation services, which Northwest does not, Atkinson said.
The difference sparked a debate between commissioners about whether exclusivity should be a factor in evaluating future contracts. Private employers negotiating hospital-services pacts must pursue price without open contracts as an option, Mayor Paul Harpole said.
Commissioners Brian Eades, a doctor, also raised a question as to whether the city, in the future, should take into account the property taxes paid to the city by the hospitals.
As a not-for-profit hospital, Baptist St. Anthony's is exempt from property taxes, Frigo said. Eades said that gives BSA a competitive edge in the bidding.
Commissioner Ellen Green expressed concern that extending Baptist St. Anthony's current exclusive contract would give the facility no incentive to negotiate an open contract in the future.
Commissioner Lilia Escajada recused herself and left the Commission Conference Room during the work session discussion.
Escajeda chairs the Northwest Texas Healthcare System board of governors.
Green disclosed that the Amarillo municipal health plan is her secondary insurance.
She had already consulted with the city's legal staff and learned that they saw no potential conflict of interest if she participated in the discussion and vote, but she also asked, and got, the blessing of Simms, Eades and Harpole.
In other business, the commission:
■ Approved a $308,733 contract with Florida-based Reynolds Smith & Hills Inc. for the design of a consolidated rental car facility at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport. The funds to pay the firm are available in the airport's 2011-12 capital improvement budget, Aviation Director Patrick Rhodes said.
■ Awarded a $571,000 contract to Caldwell Country Ford of Caldwell for the purchase of 19 police cars. Twelve will replace existing cars that have surpassed their usable lifespan and seven will make the city's fleet more efficient while also accommodating officers added to the force, Atkinson said.
■ Passed the second reading of an ordinance that changes the speed limit of a section of Coulter Street between Southwest 45th Avenue and Hillside Road from 50 to 45 mph.

Item Description
In this deft recasting of the Renaissance story, Margaret L King weaves together the many strands that made up this complex cultural movement. By marrying the best of earlier scholarship with more recent research, King shows Renaissance history is today as much abou the study of power, wealth, gender, class, honour, shame, ritual and other categories of investigation as the literary and artistic achievements of the uniquely urban society that spread from Italy to the rest of Europe. Ultimately, she points to the multiple ways in which this seminal epoch influenced the later developments of Western culture and society.
About the Author
Margaret L. King is Professor Emerita of history at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York. She is the author of several books on women, humanism and Venice in Renaissance, and is currently editor-inchief of the Renaissance and Reformation online bibliography published by Oxford biographers.

Even with their divorce pending, Kate Gosselin says, when asked if she still loves her soon-to-be ex, Jon Gosselin: "When I think back to the Jon I knew – yes, suffice it to say."
However, the star of TLC's Kate & Jon Plus 8, who continues to wear her wedding ring, says that's not because of any hope of reuniting with Jon. Speaking on Monday's Today show in her first live TV interview since her marriage ended seven weeks ago, Kate broke into tears as she told the program's Meredith Vieira that the ring remains on her finger because "I don't want to upset [the children]."
The sextuplets and twins, all under the age of 10, "know that it's my 'married to Daddy' ring," she said.
Repeatedly describing herself as "determined to hang in there," Gosselin, 34, said "I am as well as can be expected" and prepared to deal with whatever life hands her. Her chief concern, she made clear, is "the health and well-being of my children."
Still, she admits, "I wake up … and I feel failure."
On Jon's AffairWith a different dynamic at work in the house now that Jon is no longer there, Kate said his absence had to be explained a few times to the youngsters. At the same time, with the domestic squabbles no longer taking place face-to-face, she said, "There's more peace in the house now."
Asked by Vieira for her reaction to discovering her husband was suddenly dating Hailey Glassman, Kate, while admitting it was "hurtful," replied, "I was shocked. But, to be honest, that's his life."
Jon, who reputedly wishes to remain friends with his estranged wife, was scheduled to tape a TV interview with E! immediately after the airing of Kate's Today appearance, but that sit-down was canceled. A source close to Jon Gosselin says that he was never authorized by TLC to do an interview with a rival cable network, "and had to pull out for legal reasons," PEOPLE has learned.

Connie, 51, is disabled after many medical issues and operations. She has been living on and off for the past six years with her boyfriend, who is hearing-impaired.
The couple has struggled to communicate effectively and often engaged in screaming matches during disagreements.
They went to the Family Service Bureau of Nutley for mandated couple's counseling. Thus far, they have attended five sessions and are working to share more with each other. The agency is teaching the pair to calmly express themselves and better understand each other.
Laurie's parents believed she was suffering from depression. They noticed she was withdrawing from her family and friends. Laurie was reluctant to discuss her feelings, especially in front of her parents but agreed to seek counseling at their suggestion.
She went to the Family Service League. A counselor at the agency learned Laurie felt she did not fit in at her high school. She felt she was overweight and said she was made fun of by her peers. Laurie shared that she wished to be thinner, but didn't know where to start.
The agency also got Laurie to open up about her family life and to admit she had a combative relationship with her mother. Through family sessions, Laurie and her mother are working on improving their relationship.
The agency is helping Laurie lead a more healthy and active life, ultimately aiding in her weight loss.
She is rebuilding her self-confidence with support from the agency staff.

Pennsylvania American Water Company has failed to deliver safe, clean drinking water to thousands of Montgomery County customers this week, charged state Rep. Mike Vereb (R-Montgomery).
Vereb wants answers on behalf of those customers.
He has asked his colleague, Rep. Bob Godshall (R-Montgomery) – who serves as chairman of the House Consumer Affairs Committee – to hold a hearing to look into the situation.
"Customers deserve to know exactly why this company couldn't deliver clean drinking water and if anything could have been done to anticipate or prevent this situation," said Vereb in a news release Thursday.
Thousands of residents in Montgomery County were told to boil their water this week before consuming it.
The advisory was issued by Pennsylvania American Water after its system lost pressure. The loss of pressure could allow bacteria to enter the water. Boiling the water kills bacteria.
"When people pay their water bills, they expect to receive clean, drinkable water," Vereb said.
"I've received a number of calls from constituents and they want to know why this happened and what the company plans to do to prevent it from happening in the future."
The boil water advisory cannot be lifted until test results show the water is safe for human consumption.
"We want to give the company an opportunity to explain in detail why this happened and answer questions that constituents are bringing to state representatives," Vereb said.
The boil water advisory remains in effect for about 18,000 customers, the company reported Thursday. It will be lifted when sampling shows no signs of bacteria. A second sample was being taken Thursday afternoon.
The company reported the water system is back to full pressure and adequate capacity.

Worrying about a loved one at home alone can be a heavy burden.
The City of Goose Creek has a service that can help. Its called Are You OK? and its a free program provided by the Goose Creek Police Department.
Crime Prevention Specialist Kevin Scott is in charge of the program, which is available to anyone living in the Goose Creek city limits who is 65 or older, or has medical or mental conditions that confine them to home. Others may be eligible on a case-by-case basis, and anyone is encouraged to apply if they think they or someone they know might need the service.
Its a computer-generated calling system. It calls at a predetermined time, and follows up twice more if theres no answer, Scott said. If theres still no answer, an alert goes out and officers are dispatched to the address.
He said the program can be set up for each persons situation. Basic information is collected, such as contact numbers for family or friends, in case of emergencies. Calling time and frequency are flexible, and the program can be used with mobile or landlines.
Scott said only a handful of residents take advantage of the service, which has been in place for about four years.
We try to get the word out every so often, he said. We have a lot of people that move into the area who might not know about it. It can be a valuable asset for folks.
Anyone interested in the service can call Scott at 863-5200, extension 2317. Applications can also be found online at www.cityofgoosecreek.com/182/Are-You-OK-Program.

If you want a reasonably portable laptop that also has a lot of power at a low price you should still give the Y480 consideration. With that said, the larger Lenovo Y580 offers an even better performance value (it has similar hardware but packs the GTX 660M for about $50 more) and the ThinkPad T430s is more functional and portable. The Y480 will only be the best choice if you have very specific needs.

The Lenovo Y480 comes equipped with powerful hardware at a reasonable price, it offers decent audio quality and is equipped with a great keyboard.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
