The PMA Store is open during regular museum hours.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday: 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Thursday and Friday: 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.
The museum has been acquiring art since 1882, and its collecting areas encompass American art from the colonial period to the present in all media, including decorative arts, as well as western European painting, sculpture, and works on paper dating primarily from the 19th and early 20th centuries. We have particular depth in artwork that relates to the history of artistic practice in Maine and New England. Indeed, throughout the PMA's collection galleries, visitors can discover thrilling moments of alignment between the history of art in Maine and the far-ranging story about art and culture in the United States, and through these moments, gain insight into the creative legacy of this region—a legacy that thrives today. One of the most celebrated artists representing the importance of Maine within the history of American art is Winslow Homer, whose newly renovated Studio at Prouts Neck is owned and operated by the PMA. The museum's collection contains significant examples of his oeuvre ranging from his first oil painting (Sharpshooter, 1863) to a late seascape of Maine's rocky coast (Weatherbeaten, 1894). The PMA galleries foster learning about Homer's career and his extraordinary influence on American art, with works by his most important predecessors and followers, including such pivotal artists as Fitz Henry Lane, Frederic Edwin Church, N.C. and Andrew Wyeth, Marsden Hartley, Rockwell Kent, John Marin, William and Marguerite Zorach, Alex Katz, Neil Welliver, and Lois Dodd. In addition to American art, PMA holdings of European art and contemporary art by globally prominent artists provide a wider, international context for the understanding of human creativity.
American art from the colonial period to the mid-20th century constitutes the largest proportion and greatest strength of the PMA's distinguished collection, with important paintings, sculpture, works on paper, and decorative arts. Early works demonstrate the emergence of distinctive painting and craft traditions in the 18th and early 19th century, as artists transformed European styles for an American context.View More
The PMA has one of the most lively postwar and contemporary art programs in Maine, offering viewers an ever-changing array of exhibitions of contemporary art as well as a suite of dynamic galleries with art from our permanent collection. Our permanent collection, new acquisitions, and exhibition schedule is primarily American art, with a strong but not exclusively regional focus and has particular depth in the tradition of American figurative practice in the postwar period.View More
The PMA is the only museum in Maine and northern New England with significant holdings of European art. The museum, therefore, offers visitors the unique opportunity to experience important examples of European art and to trace the vibrant cultural cross-fertilization that occurred between Europe and the United States, especially during the 19th and 20th centuries. Our jewel-like collection of European paintings, sculpture, and works on paper has a strong emphasis on French art from the 19th to the mid-20th century and German Expressionism.View More
Our Docent tours are led by avid art-lovers and trained PMA experts. They are perfect for groups of 10 or more and can be scheduled in advance—ideal for family reunions, company retreats, and even wedding parties! They're a great way to make your visit more personalized and private. Call (207) 775-6148 to schedule.
Didn't plan ahead? No problem! The PMA offers daily tours everyday at 2pm, no advance planning required. And they're free with your admission, making the daily tour a perfect solution for most visitors.
We also provide cell phone tours—for those times you'd like to go your own way and explore the museum individually. Our Gallery Talks provide insight on current exhibitions and specific galleries in the museum. Homer Studio tours offer a unique perspective on Maine's most famous painter along the rugged shores of Prout's Neck. And educators, don't forget to bring your students in for a School tour, which can be scheduled here.

By David Roberts
Not that long ago, the only people thinking about energy were the ones selling it. That's mainly because, with the exception of that unpleasantness in the '70s, energy has been cheap for a long while. Why worry?
As for climate, folks have been preoccupied with arguing that it, like the moon landing and evolution, exists.
As a result, making policy in an energy-constrained, climate-imbalanced world is a fairly new undertaking for our fair democracy. Lots of people, inside and outside government, have been thrown into it with partial information, pre-existing biases and vaguely recalled fragments of folk wisdom.
Thus: Misconceptions. Mistaken conventional wisdom. Myths. They abound.
What follows is an effort to debunk the main myths standing in the way of smart climate/energy policy.
Climate policy is primarily about putting a price on carbon
Environmentalists and economists alike are obsessed with putting a price on greenhouse gas emissions, and with good reason: Climate pollution is a classic "externality," a cost paid not by polluters but by society at large. Pricing carbon internalizes that cost. The policy is "market-based" because it is agnostic toward particular practices, products or technologies; the market's "invisible hand" is set loose to find the cheapest emission reductions without undue micromanaging by the dread "government bureaucrats."
Which is great, as far as it goes. But raising the price of carbon will lead to the cheapest, fastest emission reductions only if all else is equal and, in the real world, all else is not equal. Unpriced externalities are but one of many, many market failures around energy. Trying to correct them all with a carbon price is like trying to build a house using only a hammer. Not everything is a nail! Ultimately the effort will require lots and lots of what wonky greens have taken to calling, somewhat misleadingly, "complementary policies." (Kind of like how the other members of a soccer team are "complementary" to the goalie.)
It's difficult to summarize All the Other Stuff, but such policies include efficiency standards, low carbon fuel standards, reform of electricity grid interconnect rules, minimum renewable energy or efficiency mandates, infrastructure investments (think grid and public transit), and…on and on.
These policies are every bit as important—more important, in aggregate—as pricing carbon. They can help reduce the overall cost of a price-based policy. They can help address emissions sources that are not covered by a carbon pricing scheme (think agriculture). They can correct or compensate for other market failures. (For more on this topic, see Congressional Science Fellow Holmes Hummel's presentation, "The Essential Role of Complementary Policies in Climate Policy Design")
In other words, the work of tackling climate change need not wait for a price on carbon, and it will not end when a price is in place. That is but one step in a long road.
There is a "free market" in energy
To hear some people talk, you'd think the greatest danger of government intervention in the energy sector is that it will "distort the market." Poor, tender market.
In fact, energy markets would give Adam Smith the screaming willies. The world's biggest oil companies are state-owned members of anti-competitive cabals. Half the electric utilities in the US are regulated monopolies and all are governed by Byzantine state regulations. America's transportation and electric infrastructures are largely financed by public money and built by government. This is to say nothing of the elaborate skein of tax breaks, loopholes, subsidies and cozy political relationships that overlays every bit of energy production and consumption.
Markets in something as central to industrial civilization as energy have never been "free" and never will be. Those who worry about government intervention distorting energy markets tend to be the very players benefiting from America's current Rube Goldberg energy policy. Free marketeers they ain't.
Pricing carbon will destroy the economy
Legislators from dirty-energy producing states, energy-intensive business lobbies and conservative think tanks struggle to outdo one another with apocalyptic predictions about the effects of mandatory greenhouse gas emission reductions. See, for example, the US Chamber of Commerce video showing children shivering in the cold (really). As climate legislation evolves this year, the rhetoric is ramping up again, led by the Wall Street Journal editorial page and doomsayers-for-hire at the Heritage Institute and the Chamber of Commerce.
The mainstream media passes along this kind of Chicken Littleism in gutless he-said, she-said fashion, so the public rarely hears the truth: Mainstream economists pretty well agree that the impact of a carbon pricing system on the economy will be modest.
Last year the Environmental Defense Fund did an analysis of six separate forecasts of the economic impact of a cap-and-trade, from leading nonpartisan academic and government agency sources. The median prediction was a hit to GDP growth of between 0.5 and 1 percent by 2030. Instead of doubling by January 2030, US GDP would, in the most pessimistic scenarios, double by…July 2030. (Doooomed!)
Some analysts are even more optimistic, projecting climate targets will be met at net-zero cost or even with a boost to GDP. Perhaps they recall that economists wildly overestimated the cost of the last US cap-and-trade program; the sulfur dioxide trading regime, designed to fight acid rain, came in about 90 percent cheaper than official projections.
Here's a short list of things that will damage the economy far worse than tackling climate change: the current mortgage/banking/credit crisis, rising fossil fuel prices, competitive disadvantage in burgeoning global clean-energy markets and, oh yeah, climate change itself. Compared to the alternatives, reducing climate emissions looks like a spectacular bargain. (For more on this economic consensus, see Eric Pooley's article "Surprise—Economists Agree!")
Tackling climate change requires fundamental technological breakthroughs
No myth has done more to lull Americans into complacency or allow bad actors to fight off good policy.
The American people are deeply attached to the notion that any problem can be solved with a new doohickey. It would, after all, relieve them of the terrible responsibility of saving the world. (Surely a clever scientist in a lab somewhere will invent a Climate Stabilizer and we can all stop worrying about this nonsense!)
The powers that be in the energy world are deeply invested in persuading legislators that the technology just isn't ready yet—that's why it's premature to start mandating emission reductions. This is what the perpetually 10-years-away "clean coal" is all about. More research!
It's not hard to see the appeal of a techno-fix. The alternative to whizbang new technology is a list of thousands of changes in regulation, legislation, behavior and thinking, each one demanding the country's collective attention, wit and wherewithal. It can seem overwhelming.
But a. fundamental breakthroughs in energy technology are extraordinarily rare, b. we don't have time to wait for them and c. nothing spurs learning like doing. The best way to figure out better techniques and technologies is to start deploying the hell out of what's already here.
Solving climate change is primarily about finding cleaner sources of energy
Wind! No, "clean coal"! Biofuels! No, natural gas! Idiots, it's all about nuclear!
Conversations about tackling climate change are perpetually dominated by disputes over which cleaner energy sources will substitute for today's dirty energy.
What's left out? Using less energy. That is to say: demand.
As it happens, getting a handle on demand is the cheapest and fastest way to rein in greenhouse gas emissions. Every energy wonk knows this, but for some reason—psychological? cultural? lack of powerful business lobby?—demand has never taken the place of the primacy it warrants in the national psyche. Sourcing is seen as variable, adaptable, under human control; demand growth is implicitly viewed as inexorable, like a force of nature.
Meanwhile, the supply bias distorts thinking and policy, directing attention and resources toward some of the slowest and most expensive means of reducing emissions.
Using less energy = sacrifice
Mention "reducing demand" to Average Jane American and she'll assume you mean conservation: turning off lights, drying clothes on a clothesline, riding a bike to work, wearing a sweater when it's cold inside. And when she thinks conservation, she'll generally think, "ugh, there go the dirty hippies telling me to feel guilty and be miserable again."
Both these associations are bogus.
First, when energy wonks talk about demand reduction, they usually mean efficiency. That means consuming the same energy services—the same "warm showers and cold beers"—using less energy. For instance, driving a Prius rather than a Taurus offers the same comfort and mobility while using less gas.
The distinction matters. Efficiency can boost economic productivity and reduce emissions simultaneously; consultant company McKinsey says it can get us 40 percent to where we need to go, at negative cost (that is, profit). And it doesn't require any individual lifestyle changes, so it's not as politically perilous.
Conservation is a tough row to hoe because people associate it with sacrifice—shivering in the dark. What's poorly understood, perhaps because greens aren't very good at painting the picture, is that many changes that reduce individual energy consumption increase quality of life. Living in walkable, transit-accessible neighborhoods can lower gasoline consumption while improving health and sociability. Raising food in a garden is rewarding; shopping at farmers markets is fun; having fresh, local food to eat is, well, tasty. Doing more socializing and less TV watching/web surfing increases life span.
The high-speed, high-consumption American lifestyle is no longer increasing happiness. Slowing down, spending time rather than money, can be enormously gratifying. The greener life is a better life.
Consensus on policy is possible even among those who disagree about climate change
John McCain popularized this notion during his ill-fated presidential campaign, assuring skeptical conservative audiences that whether or not they believed in climate change, they should support clean energy policy.
The appeal is clear enough: Climate change is politically divisive. It's "environmental" (ew!). It's associated with Dirty F***ing Hippies (double ew!). If everyone can agree on the same policies for different reasons—national security, energy independence, clean air, whatever—why not just bracket the climate question?
Unfortunately, it doesn't fly.
The reason is fairly simple: Climate change is urgent. Recent research from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration demonstrates that irreversible changes are already underway; if humanity continues on its present path, those changes will include "irreversible dry-season rainfall reductions in several regions comparable to those of the 'dust bowl' era and inexorable sea level rise." And that's just if we peak at 600 parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says business as usual will lead to 1,000 ppm, which would be an unthinkable apocalypse. Holding atmospheric concentrations to 450 ppm, which many scientists now say offers about a 50/50 chance of avoidingcatastrophic and irreversible impacts, means global emissions must peak in the next decade and head down sharply thereafter.
Climate change sets an unforgiving time limit on the available solutions. It forecloses the option of leisurely conducting basic energy R & D. It forecloses the option of using dirty domestic sources like coal, natural gas, oil shale and tar sands. It adds problems like reforestation and adaptation to the to-do list. It will require a massive industrial mobilization, on the scale of US preparations for WWII, beginning immediately. No one can understand the challenge facing humanity without understanding climate change. It's not politically convenient, but it's the truth.
Europe's experience shows that cap-and-trade can't work
It is now widely acknowledged that Europe's carbon trading program—the ETS—made several key mistakes in its initial trial period. The system covered a narrow slice of the EU economy, yielding a relatively small market wherein price fluctuations could not be effectively smoothed out. The data on baseline emissions was poor and industries self-reported wildly exaggerated numbers, leading to overallocation of pollution credits. Worse yet, the credits were given away for free rather than auctioned, resulting in windfall profits. The combination of overallocation and large profits yielded little incentive to change in the program's early years.
None of these flaws, however, is intrinsic to cap-and-trade systems. European regulators are in the process of correcting them, and legislators developing a cap-and-trade system for the US are keenly aware of the lessons learned. The entire economy can be covered; permits can be auctioned; price fluctuations can be evened out with banking and borrowing of permits. It can be done right.
The ETS trial period represented the first fumbling steps toward a global effort to reduce emissions; it was bound to be a trial-and-error process. Despite its missteps, Europe has implemented a declining cap on emissions and created a market-based carbon trading system that is guiding long-term investment decisions—with little to no negative impact on the economy. The US should be so lucky.
Unlike cap-and-trade, a carbon tax is simple, immune to manipulation and politically palatable
A strange-bedfellows political coalition, everyone from the CEO of Exxon to climate scientist James Hansen supports a carbon tax as an alternative to cap-and-trade. Tax proponents allege that cap-and-trade is too complicated; too friendly to financial industry tricks and manipulations; too open to loopholes, cheating and special pleading; too weak to work.
This is all true. Or rather, could be true, if special interests are given too influential a voice in the process; if there is no organized grassroots movement applying pressure; if the legislators developing the policy allow it to happen.
The thing is, the same flaws could just as easily weaken a carbon tax. Just because it looks elegant sketched on an economist's whiteboard doesn't mean a tax can't be corrupted in the real-world political process. (Have a quick look at the US tax code.)
To boot, taxes of any kind are notoriously unpopular among the US electorate.
It's an article of faith among supporters that returning the revenue to taxpayers via rebates could bring public support behind a tax, even though just such a refunded tax was roundly rejected in Canada last year.
Furthermore, a comprehensive new survey out of Yale asked a representative sample of more than 2,000 people what means they favored to fight climate change and a fully refunded gasoline tax came in dead last. Finally, there is no real empirical evidence that taxes can be rendered popular with promises of rebates.
Pricing carbon will be a fraught political battle, in danger of being corrupted or dying in Congress. That's true whether it's cap-and-trade or a carbon tax on the table.
Democrats support good climate policy and Republicans oppose it
Energy and climate scramble the usual left-right political divisions. Many of the big fights are not among parties but among regions and levels of government.
In the US Congress, to be sure, the Republicans = obstructionists formula holds with virtually no exceptions, save a tiny handful of remaining Senate "moderates." Republican obstructionists are joined in the House and—more problematically—the Senate by a group of Democrats from states with energy-intensive industries. Depending on how they're counted, there are up to 15 such Senate Dems, more than enough to assist Republicans in a filibuster.
At the state and local level, the partisan picture is far more complicated. Some of the leading governors on the issue are Republicans, notably California's Arnold Schwarzenegger and Florida's Charlie Crist. Some of the most problematic are Democrats from energy states like West Virginia's Joe Manchin and Virginia's Tim Kaine. The city-level picture is even more muddled. At last count, 935 mayors, from every political party and every state in the country, have signed the US Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement.
Ultimately, the political battle over climate and energy is how to manage the transition from a high-waste, high-pollution, cheap-energy economy to…the opposite. Those vulnerable to being hurt by the transition span political parties and demographics. Getting over the chasm will require fresh thinking. SFR

Alana De La Garza Short Straight Casual Hairstyle
Description(Added: 10th November 2010 )
- Hair Category: Casual
- Hair Length: Short
- Hair Elasticity: Straight
- Gender: Women
- Face Shape: Oval, Oblong, Heart, and Diamond
- Hair Density: Thin/Medium
- Hair Texture: Fine/Medium
- Age: Under 21, 21 - 30, 31 - 40, and 41 - 50
- Height: Any
- Weight: Thin/Average
- Glasses: Suits with and without
- Styling Time: 20 minutes
- Products: Mousse, Wax, Smoothing Shine, Hair Spray, and Moisturizer
- Styling Tip: Spray a small amount of hairspray into your roots for extra volume and hold.
Styling Steps
1 . Apply Moisturizer
Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.
2 . Apply Mousse
Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.
3 . Part to the Right
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your right eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even right part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.
4 . Section Hair
It is always a good idea to work in sections. This will help to make your hair styling quicker, easier to follow and more orderly. Comb your hair out and place your hair up into four equal sections, two in front and two in back, starting from ear to ear.
5 . Use a Small Radial Brush
A small radial brush is used on shorter hair types to add more body or in longer hair types to create curl. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.
6 . Blow-dry the Back Under
To blow-dry under, start at the nape/back and place your brush under the section of hair close to the nape. With the dryer held up over the hair, pull the brush from the roots and continue to the mid length's, keeping the blow-dryer following over the top. Once you reach the ends, curve them under. Repeat this step until the section is completely dry.
7 . Blow-dry the Sides Under
To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.
8 . Blow-dry the Crown
To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.
9 . Wax Hair Down at the Back
Apply some wax to your fingertips and then pull through the ends of your hair in a downward motion to achieve a sculptured look. Pinch clumps of hair in different directions for a messier result.
10 . Style Sides Down Using Wax
Using a small amount of wax, work it through the mid-lengths and ends in a downward, pinching motion. For added texture, apply more pinching and more wax.
11 . Lift Roots Using Wax
Apply some hard wax to your fingertips and then rub it into your roots while lifting your strands for soft volume.
12 . Style Hair Back and to the Left with Fingers and Wax
Use your fingers and your wax to pull your hair up and back while styling it to the left.
13 . Apply Smoothing Shine
Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.
14 . Apply Hairspray
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.

SF School District refinances bonds, lowers interest rate
By refinancing a series of 2003 bonds, the South Fayette School District locked in an interest rate of about 2.98 percent and will save about $173,000 in the 2013-14 fiscal year. The board voted 6-0 to refinance the bonds at its June 18 workshop meeting. Board members Alexander Bill Newcomer and Alan Vezzi were absent.
"This is not going to extend the debt at all," Jamie Doyle of Public Finance Management told the board at the meeting. She said by refinancing, the district is replacing old higher interest rates with today's lower ones. She also told the board that the district has maintained its A1 credit rating.
Doyle said the new call date for the bonds is October 1, 2018, which is the next time the board can refinance.
Anthony Ditka, the district's bond council, told the board that the bonds are scheduled to close at the end of July.
Intermediate School update
Joe Brennan of P.J. Dick presented change orders for the new intermediate school to the board at the June 18 meeting. Total change orders presented at the meeting amounted to more than $36,000.
One change order is an owner-requested item to add geotextile and stone along the south road and fence. Brennan said the district requested the change for maintenance purposes so mowing would not have to be done in that area. The cost of that is about $4,000.
Another item is to modify the handrail and posts in the clearstory area of the building so that the posts are 51 inches high. The cost of that is about $1,500. Also, adding mini-blinds throughout the building on interior windows comes in at a cost of $3,800.
Another change order is for about $5,000 to relocate a sanitary line due to a breach in a wetland. Brennan said the area below the wetland had to be cleared and grubbed, as did a new section of wooded area. An eight-inch sanitary line and two manhole structures also had to be installed.
Board member Leonard Fornella asked Brennan if the project is still on time. The building is to be substantially complete by July 22. Brennan said the project is on time, but it's "extremely tight at this point." He added that it's no different than any other project at "crunch time."
Brennan said furniture was to start coming in on June 19 and final cleaning is already being done in some sections of the building. Fornella said that July 22 is a "hard deadline." He said there will be penalty provisions for every day if that deadline is not met.
The board is scheduled to tour the building on June 25.
Budget update
Brian Tony, district director of finance, and district accountant Maria Brewer-Aguilar presented updated budget numbers at the June 18 meeting.
Tony presented three options for the board to consider for its June 25 budget vote. Last month, the board approved a proposed final budget with a millage rate, going to the two percent index, of 24.4432 mills.
The numbers are now adjusted to reflect updated reassessment numbers from the county. Tony said the revenue neutral millage rate would be 23.9041. If the board decides to go to the two percent index, which would add 0.5019, the rate would be 24.4033. If the board goes to the two percent index and also takes the exception for PSERS (Public School Employees Retirement System) at 0.3093, the rate would be 24.7126.
The rates are adjusted due to the county-wide reassessment. The 2012-13 millage rate is 28.8241. Brewer-Aguilar said all of the numbers are "still far below our last year's millage rate."

Fire marshal investigates Cool Springs fire
A passing motorist was the first to report a fire at 8:38 a.m. Sept. 20, at the Cool Springs Golf Center, 1530 Hamilton Road, Bethel Park. It was not brought under control until almost 10 a.m.
Bethel Park Fire Chief Dave Gerber said the fire was mainly confined to the golf center's garage and a storage area as well as to an overhang near the driving range.
When firefighters arrived, Gerber said the flames were through the roof. The Allegheny County Fire Marshal and members of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are investigating the cause.
No one was at the center when the fire was reported, Gerber said, and the center is closed pending resolution of a legal issue.
The fire was brought under control at 9:57 a.m. Of the 40 to 45 firefighters at the blaze, none reported an injury.
Assisting Bethel Park were firefighters from Mt. Lebanon, Castle Shannon, Broughton in South Park, South Baldwin and Whitehall.
Hamilton Road near the golf center was closed to allow firefighters access to nearby hydrants, but reopened shortly before 10 a.m. Gerber said there was a "little problem at first" with the water supply, but the issue was quickly corrected.
A fire hose from a hydrant snaked across the entrance to Lincoln Elementary School, forcing students to leave the bus at the school's entrance and walk along the driveway to the building.

Earlier this week, I bought a Treasury bill.
Everybody calls Treasury bills T-bills, and they work like this: The government promises to pay holders of T-bills a specific amount on a specific day in the near future. For the T-bill I bought, the government promised to pay $1,000 on Oct. 31.
I bought the T-bill on Tuesday, before Congress had made the debt-ceiling deal, so it was unclear whether I would get paid back on time.
If people are worried about a bond, the price tends to fall. But, despite all the news about about possible default, my T-bill — which promises to pay a total of $1,000 — was selling for $999.78 on Tuesday. I stood to make exactly 22 cents on my big investment.
The immediate default danger has now passed, of course. But one of the fears was that the mere fact that the U.S. was flirting with default would drive up the interest rates the government had to pay to borrow money.
Default fears did drive up interest rates a little — and those higher rates probably cost the government somewhere around $50 million, and possibly as much as $100 million, according to Francis Longstaff, a finance professor at UCLA. In the context of the U.S. debt, that's a small number, he says.
Since Congress passed the debt-ceiling deal, investors' small fear of default seems to have gone away. That boring T-bill I bought has become even more boring. At the end of the day Thursday, it was selling for $999.99. If you bought it at that price, your profit in two weeks would be one penny.
*Technically, I didn't lend money directly to the government. I bought the T-bill from someone else. The person who bought the T-bill when it was first issued was the one who actually loaned the money to the government.
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm David Greene. Earlier this week, David Kestenbaum with our Planet Money team did something that seemed a little risky. He called up a broker and made an investment.
PETER: Hey David. How are ya?
DAVID KESTENBAUM, BYLINE: Hey. How are ya? Good.
PETER: Very well, thanks. Been waiting for your call. You were looking to buy a treasury bond I understand?
GREENE: That's David talking with an employee at the online brokerage firm Etrade. Now, the reason buying a treasury bond might have seemed dicey is that at the time it looked like the government might default on its debt, which meant people who owned Treasury bonds might not get paid back. David now has the story of what happened to that bond and what it tells us about our brush with default.
KESTENBAUM: The thing I bought is technically called a T-bill. It's a short term loan to the U.S. government. The way T-bills work is that if you have one, the government is supposed to pay you a specific amount of money on a specific day. If you own this Tbill the government is promising to give you $1000 in a couple weeks, on October 31st. I told the guy at Etrade - his name is Peter - that's the one I want.
PETER: We're going to preview the order. We are going to buy one $1000 face value of...
KESTENBAUM: If people are worried about a bond. You see it reflected in the price. If, for instance, people are really worried they might not get that $1000 on the 31st of October they won't pay as much for the bond. And the price will drop. So with all the fear about U.S. default - what was this $1000 bond selling for — $800, $900? Nope. I had to pay I had to pay $999.78.
Meaning I stood to make exactly 22 cents on my big investment. This had to be the most boring thing Peter had helped anyone buy all day.
PETER: Does that all sound good to you, the one you wanted?
KESTENBAUM: I'm not going to make a lot of money on this.
PETER: Definitely not.
KESTENBAUM: What this means is yes, some investors were worried that the U.S. might not be able to pay this thing on time, but not that many.
PETER: All right. I'm putting the order through for you right now. You'll see it in your account shortly.
KESTENBAUM: The immediate danger of default has now passed, of course. But one of the fears was that the mere fact that the U.S. was flirting with default might cost the U.S. and taxpayers money. Francis Longstaff is a finance professor at UCLA. I asked him to calculate how much the standoff in Congress had cost the U.S. and taxpayers through higher interest rates on our debt.
He looked at all the treasury bills the government issued since the beginning of October. And the answer? The additional damage from our flirting with default?
FRANCIS LONGSTAFF: A very wide upper bound on the potential impact is going to be on range of $75 to $100 million.
KESTENBAUM: In the scheme of things, he says, that is a very small number. The U.S. debt is trillions of dollars. Since the debt ceiling deal that small fear investors apparently had about certain treasury bonds seems to have gone away. That boring bond that I bought has become even more boring. At the end of the day yesterday it was selling for $999.99 Meaning your profit in two weeks' time would be one penny. David Kestenbaum, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Community hosts successful spring game for Panthers
As events unfolded, Amy Scheuneman grew less apprehensive about Bethel Park hosting the University of Pittsburgh's annual spring game. Though the athletic director experienced one of those days at the office—where she had to reschedule rained out baseball and softball games while coordinating cheerleading tryouts together with the Blue and Gold game—she duly noted the excitement and thrill in the chilly autumn-like air.
"Everybody is getting along and having a good time," Scheuneman said. "We're happy with this."
The young Pitt fans, many decked in Panthers' apparel, were quite pleased with the activities, which culminated in the scrimmage in Bethel's state-of-the-art stadium. In addition to face painting, music, inflatibles and games, the event featured a informal meet-and-greet with the players as well as a clinic.
The one-on-one with their favorite players drew the praise of John Kowalo, 12, of Canonsburg and Connor Harcarik, 9, of Bethel Park.
Though he plays center, Kowalo said that his favorite player was junior wide receiver Kevin Weatherspoon from Clairton and that he was "very excited" about Pitt being in the neighborhood. From the clinic, he added, "I hope to learn about technique."
Technique and then some were Harcarik's goals. He plays running back and quarterback in the Bethel Park Junior Football Association. Some day he envisions playing for the varsity Hawks and emulating sophomore signal caller Levi Metheny. Hence, he was quite attentive to the directives of the Pitt players during the free clinic.
"I hope to play better football and have more fun," Harcarik said. "It's good for Pitt to be here because they bring a lot of excitement and we get to play around and have fun."
Parker Cardamone, 9, favored challenging opponents such as Jason Muench, a fourth grader at Washington Elementary School, and Brock Ferguson, 8, of Bethel Park, at the miniature racetrack than chasing down the Pitt players in a mock, scrimmage on BP's upper turf fields.
A guard in the BP Jr. Football Association, Cardamone said, "I liked the race cars the best. "But," he added, "I love football. Probably making a catch and taking it to the end zone is the best part."
Cardamone said J.P. Holtz from Shaler was the best and that his favorite team is Pitt next to Florida. He admitted though that if he couldn't be a football player when he grows up, then he would entertain the thought of being a NASCAR driver. "That would be cool. I liked racing the cars."
Although they were disappointed Pitt did not choice Upper St. Clair as the site for its spring game, two of that school's football coaches ventured into enemy territory to attend the festivities with their children.
"This whole thing is fantastic. Look at all these kids," they said pointing to the crowd. "They are having a blast. It's a good way to get people interested in Pitt football."
Because the Panthers will play in the Atlantic Coast Conference for the first time this fall, there is renewed interest in Pitt football. Yet, even the most diehard fan, knows the ACC is a challenge for the up-and-coming Panthers.
"Did you see their schedule?" said Larry Ferguson he said referring to Miami, Notre Dame, Florida State, Virginia Tech. "It's going to be tough."
But it wasn't difficult to see how much fun the Blue and Gold game created and what an attraction Pitt football is for families.
While his son, Brock was not keen on chatting with reporters, Mr. Ferguson, who works for UPMC, said that Pitt holding its spring game at Bethel Park this year was a positive. "It's great for the kids to see the players up close and in action. I go to Steelers games and Pitt games are a better atmosphere."
Hank and Judy Freedy agreed. They once sat in these same stands and watched their sons, Tucker and Joe, play football for the Hawks. This year, they attended the Blue and Gold game with Tucker, their grandson, Andrew, 8, and his friend, J.P. Walters, 8.
While the young boys hope to play for rival Mt. Lebanon some day, they enjoyed the clinic, especially the tackling dummy drills.
"It's great for them," said Tucker. "Pitt did everything right and they enjoyed themselves so much.
"We've gone to the game before when it was at Heinz Field. But this was a lot easier to get to," said Hank, whose home is less than a mile away from the stadium.
"I'm not sure how well they will fare but I think they'll be good."
Levi Metheny concurred. The soon-to-be sophomore quarterback at BPHS said, "I think they will be good. And spoken like a good coach's son—his father, Jeff, directs the Hawks—Metheny added, "They have good coaches."
And, all that added up to success for Bethel Park. High school principal Jeb Jasante, who earned his doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh after a stellar football career at California University of Pennsylvania, was thrilled with how the event was executed.
"This was a great success. We had huge turnout," he said pointing to the packed stands. "We couldn't have asked for anything more. This was great for Pitt and great for Bethel Park, the athletes, the students and the community."

A concept artist breathes life into the visions of the writer before they can be brought to the big screen. Few movies rely as heavily on their concept artists as the Star Wars series that is famous for being a 'lived-in universe'. Working as the Concept Design Supervisor on Star Wars Episode II and now Episode III, and as a Senior Art Director at ILM, Ryan Church is at the forefront of film visualization. In Episode III, the emphasis on animatics has meant that he has helped visualize the entire movie, right down to color palettes and mood.
Ryan Church's personal inspiration comes mostly from his childhood experiences: "I think I must be a bit less impressed by things these days. When you're young, you're so easily impressed! When I'm faced with a particularly challenging assignment, I think back to a movie I watched or a toy I played with or something I saw in a museum that affected me and I try to distill and capture my impression of that experience. A great part of my job is that I'm designing and painting scenes and objects I've had in my head since I was a kid."
He believes that in order to get inspired for a project you just have to keep your mind fertilized with stuff you're into. "My favorite subject matter continues to be portraying aircraft in their natural habitat, as varied and beautiful as that can be. Other than that, I'm not really too picky: industrial design, architecture, and the natural environment are all things I love to design and render. Dramatic and exciting 'filmic' moments are a lot of fun to come up with; you have to be pretty creative to illustrate movement, drama and mood in a still 2D image.
Of course the most fun comes from the most freedom.My favorite part of any job is coming up with something new and fresh; a variation or concept that nobody has ever seen or thought of before. It's great to be able to create like that and share it with others through an illustration. I consider myself a designer first and illustrator second, and artist a distant third. Being able to create something and render it from any angle as an exciting image is a joy."
Church's interest in aircraft, industrial and automotive design, and natural forms help his designs 'make sense' and exist in some sort of reality. "Vehicles are my primary interest as a designer", he explains, "but film production design mainly deals with environments and architecture which are great subject matter for any illustration. My earliest, most powerful inspirations were the designs of Syd Mead, Joe Johnson and Ralph McQuarrie. I got to know their work early and it just kind of seeped in. This industry wouldn't be what it is today without them."

Area swimmers fare well at states
Though they did not bring home any gold, the swim teams from South Fayette, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park and Peters Township experienced success during the PIAA championships held over four days last week at Bucknell University's Kinney Natatorium.
The Lady Lions from South Fayette took home third place in the Class AA girls' team standings. They racked up 119 points to finish behind champion Villa Maria Academy (237) and runner-up York Suburban (125).
For the Lady Lions, who earlier this month won their first WPIAL team title, Morgan Fink excelled. A triple gold medalist at districts, the senior secured eighth in the 100-yard breaststroke with a 1:07.05 time.
Fink anchored SF's bronze medal 400 free relay team. Maddie Bartrug, Mary Rosati and Tiana Marrese also comprised that unit. The foursome also finished fourth in the 200 medley relay.
SF's 200 free relay team of Bartrug, Sydney Briner, Sophia Hestad and Tiana Marrese finished second in the consolation finals and placed 13th overall.
Individually, Rosati took 10th in the 500 free and added 11th in the 200 IM.
For the SF men, Stephen Zombeck finished 14th in diving, and was the WPIAL champion this season.
The USC men finished fifth as a team with 112 points while La Salle College ran away with the title in Class AAA with 290 points. Bethel Park and Peters Township placed 12th and 15th in the team standings.
Ryan Dudzinski submitted the top showing among the men. The USC sophomore secured silver in the 100-yard butterfly with a 49.30 time. LaSalle's Sean Regan won the race in 48.84. Dudzinski also finished fourth in the 100 backstroke with a 49.69 time.
Dudzinski, who won both the back and fly during the WPIAL District 7 championships, anchored the 400 free relay to a fourth-place finish in 3:07.11. The unit also consisted of Alex Hardwick, Nikhil Narayanan and Nathan Novak, all juniors. In the 200 free relay, Hardwick, Dudzinski, Tomos Williams and Novak combined to finish fourth (1:24.86).
Individually, Hardwick captured a bronze medal in the 200 free with a third-place time of 1:38.93. He showed seventh in the 100 free with a 45.79 time. Hardwick won both events during the WPIAL championships.
Though, he, too, won a WPIAL title in his signature swim, Erik Brinkhoff secured six in a fast field of 50-yard freestylers with a 20.99 time. The Bethel Park senior also scored second in the consolation finals of the 100 free and placed 13th overall with a 47.20 time.
Individually, Mitchel Stahara placed 13th overall in the state for the 200 free with a 1:43.63 time.
Brinkhoff and Stahara combined with Dan Litwin and Zach Misak for ninth in the 400 free relay, which was won by Upper Dublin in a blazing 3:00.23, a new PIAA record. Brinkhoff, Stahara, Litwin and Misak also medaled in the 200 free relay, finishing eighth with a 1:26.53 time.
For Peters Township, Kyle Higgins excelled. The senior shattered a school record set in 1974 when he clocked a 51.38 and placed 12th in the 100 back. Higgins also secured sixth in the 100 fly with a 50.11 mark.
Dan Pletz, who finished 16th in the back with a 52.98 time, and Chris Buzard, who was 14th in the breast (58.70), combined with Higgins and Sebastian Yocca for sixth place in the 200 medley relay. The unit finished in 1:35.28 time.
In the girls' Class AAA standings, Mt. Lebanon secured seventh and Upper St. Clair ninth. Hershey whipped North Allegheny, 292-165, for the team title.
Katie Ford spearheaded the Lebo ladies. The junior took third in the 50 free with a 23.40 time.
Ford added fifth in the back with a 56.13 swim. Meghan Schilken followed in eighth place (57.44). In the 500 free, Anna McGlade finished 13th (5:05.02)
Ford, Schilken and McGlade combined with Veronica Bogdanski for sixth in the 200 free relay. The foursome finished 10th in the 400 free relay.

A Canonsburg man who was struck by a vehicle Friday on Route 19 near the Route 519 cloverleaf in North Strabane Township died.
Daniel Kapis Jr., 64, was pronounced dead just before 5 p.m. at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, where he had been flown for treatment. A spokeswoman for the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's office said the cause of death is pending an autopsy.
Township police Sgt. David Richards said Kapis apparently walked to the area from Canonsburg. Relatives told police he was staying at the Canon House on North Central Avenue.
Township police Officer Michael Lukanski said Kapis walked up the off-ramp from Route 19 southbound and ran across the two southbound lanes. He was on the center medial when he stepped out in front of the northbound vehicle driven by Francis Rhoades, 25, of Canonsburg. Rhoades was traveling in the left lane of Route 19. Kapis was on his way to a wedding at Chartiers Hill United Presbyterian Church when he was struck.
A witness who was driving in the right southbound lane saw Kapis standing on the median seconds before he was hit. She was driving slightly ahead of Rhoades' car.
"She was looking in her mirror and saw him (Kapis) step directly in front of the car," Lukanski said. "It was raining at the time. There was no indication the driver was going at a high rate of speed."
"There was no evidence of the driver taking evasive action," the officer added. "He didn't have the chance."
Lukanski does not anticipate filing charges against the driver. Rhoades was not injured in the crash but taken to Washington Hospital because he was so distressed.
Route 19 was closed in both directions for several hours for the investigation.
Kapis is the 16th person killed on Washington County roads this year.

WAYNESBURG – On the 50th anniversary of his world-famous "I Have a Dream" speech given on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. was celebrated Monday, even as the nation's first African American President, Barack Obama was sworn into his second term of office. Coincidentally, it also fell 150 years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery.
Taking the podium in the Roberts Chapel at Waynesburg University, Superior Court Judge Cheryl Lynn Allen reminded those attending a remembrance for King of his own words. Spoken during a sermon, delivered before an interfaith congregation at Temple Israel in Hollywood, Calif., in 1965, King emphasized that truth will eventually overcome a lie.
"Deep in my heart I do believe we shall overcome. And I believe it because somehow the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice," King said. "We shall overcome because Carlyle is right; 'no lie can live forever.' We shall overcome because William Cullen Bryant is right; 'truth crushed to earth will rise again.'"
Expounding on this, Allen said, "During the time of slavery the lies that some people were inferior or less than human was told to justify slavery. But it had no future. Slavery is no longer the law of the land.
"No lie or no man in the wrong can stand up against truth as long as that man in the right keeps coming," Allen said. "Lies address the present but lies have no future; that is what the word of God tells us. If you look throughout all of history at all of the lies that have been perpetrated, those lies could not stand."
The United States, as King knew it at the time of his murder in Memphis, Tenn., April 4, 1968, and during the March on Washington, D.C. , in 1963, when 250,000 people joined in a peaceful demonstration to promote civil rights, has come a long way. From the signing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 to the election of an African-American as president, pieces of King's "dream" have been accomplished.
It is also evident that more remains to be done to fully realize that "dream." One is reminded of this at a time when the health care debate is at the forefront of politics and reflecting on King's 1966 address to the Medical Committee for Human Rights in Chicago, "Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane."
It is reflected in his words regarding violence. "The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy." King believed that, "instead of diminishing evil, it (violence) multiplies it."
"Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth," King said. "Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate."
Allen drove this home, saying "One day, years ago, they arrested truth, put truth on trial, convicted him and beat him all night long, crucified and they buried truth," she said. "But you cannot destroy truth. Dr. King said, 'If there is no cause that you're willing to die for then your life is not worth living.'" Allen said in these times it is not always popular to take a stand, as King did for his dream, but the truth is coming back again and it will overcome.
Taking his stand, King said, "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
Speaking of his four young children, King said he dreamed of the day when they would not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. He dreamed that the sons of former slaves and slave owners would sit down together as brothers, and the south, as he knew it, would be free of oppression and injustice.
"And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city," King said. "We will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.'"

CIO Game Changer: Unlocking Employee Access to Information
Data management poses a serious dilemma for today's hard-pressed IT managers. Not only must they give end users anytime access to information from desktops, notebooks, smartphones and tablets, but they must also do so without compromising security. To make matters worse, both data and data silos are accumulating in ever-greater quantities these days. Together with CIO magazine, CommVault commissioned a February 2013 research study among CIOs and IT Directors to get to the bottom of this very issue. This paper highlights the research findings, and seeks to offer a solution in the form of a single-platform data management solution.

The incandescent light bulb, which has brightened homes ever since Thomas Edison produced the fixture in 1880, is on its way out.
In 2007, lawmakers and President George W. Bush signed the Energy Independence and Security Act, requiring light bulbs to be more efficient. The legislation gave manufacturers nearly five years to increase efficiency in certain light bulbs by at least 25 percent.
That means lights out for the 100-watt incandescent light bulb, which uses too much energy to meet the law's requirements. As a result, manufacturers have stopped producing them, and most stores no longer carry them on their shelves.
"We still carry some, and we'll carry them until they're completely out of the warehouse. But when they're gone, they're gone," said Al Nocki of Bahr Hardware in Canonsburg. "For example, we used to get them from GE, but they no longer have 100-watt bulbs."
Dimmer incandescent lights – 40- through 70-watts – are still available, but by 2014, they will be held to the same standards. By 2020, screw-in light bulbs will have to be 60 to 70 percent more efficient than today's bulbs.
The downfall of the incandescent bulb, according to Doug Matthis, an outside salesperson for Cardello Lighting in Canonsburg, is its inefficiency. Only about 5 to 10 percent of the electricity that runs through the bulb actually generates light, and the other 90 to 95 percent escapes into the air as heat.
"They're not efficient, and they waste a tremendous amount of energy," said Matthis. "As far as the phase-out, it's going to be inevitable. You hear all this stuff about people who want to stockpile light bulbs, and customers are concerned about what they're going to use, but there are fantastic options."
The alternatives: Many people are switching to more efficient compact fluorescents and the new LED lightbulb, both of which use less energy and have longer lives, and will make a difference in energy bills.
Matthis said another option is a 72-watt halogen bulb, as bright as a 100-watt incandescent and fully dimmable.
According to Matthis, whichever bulb consumers end up choosing depends on a few factors, including the amount of light desired and the cost. When it comes to price, the spiral-shaped compact fluorescent bulbs are comparable to incandescent bulbs. But they last 10 times longer and use about a quarter of the energy.
LED lights "go off the charts when it comes to lamp life," Matthis said, and many last more than 30,000 hours – more than 12 times longer than incandescents. But the high price tag – a Sylvania LED bulb with a warm light that resembles incandescent costs about $50 – turns off some customers.
John Weidert, owner of Burgettstown Hardware, said he has received complaints from customers about the phase-out, and he believes the alternative light bulbs have problems: Compact fluorescents contain mercury, and LEDs are expensive.
But Mathis believes, among other things, competition will drive the price down.
"Nobody wants to see the 50-cent light bulb disappear. But when you think about all the things that go with it, including environmental impact and energy savings, the incandescent's alternatives are tremendous. Competition will drive the price down," said Mathis. "The life of a good LED is off the charts. It costs more up front, but in the long run it will save money for consumers."
Mathis also believes the newer LEDs and compact fluorescents are very close in color spectrum to the incandescents, a complaint he has heard from homeowners and interior designers since the incandescent phase-out began.
"There's always going to be a replacement for light bulbs; changes and improvements are inevitable," said Matthis. "So don't panic."

Lionel Messi has conceded Barcelona tend to struggle against defensive teams and feels that not having a 'plan B' has cost them in the past.The Catalans have been criticised for their insistence on staying true to their possession-based style of play against teams that opt to sit back and focus on defending, and Messi has now acknowledged that Barca could do with an alternative incase their original game-plan fails.

Potts leads Lebo to win
Potts leads Lebo ladies to win
Kelsey Potts paced the Mt. Lebanon girls' cross country team to victory in the Spiked Shoe Classic held on the Blue golf course at Penn State University. The Lebo ladies totaled 61 points and outdistanced runner-up State College. The Little Lions finished with a 114 score.
Though leading with 800 meters to go in the race, Potts slipped to second place overall, behind champion Amelia Paladino. The University senior posted a 17:38 time. A sophomore, Potts finished in 17:50.
"Kelsey is still growing," said Lebo head coach Ron Schreiner. "She has learned so much though about how and when to spend her energy. We are not fully giving her everything but this season, so far, we have started to utilize more speed play activities with her."
The results have proved remarkable for Potts as well as her teammates. Potts won the Red, White and Blue Classic and the Lebo ladies are 2-0 in big invitational meets this year.
"As a freshman I was patient with Kelsey and did not incorporate change pace training or surging techniques into her practice sessions but now our seniors are able to push her more in practice."
Jillian Hunsberger and Audrey Gordon have given Potts as well as the Lebo Ladies a big boost. The seniors finished fourth and seventh overall respectively at the meet. Hunsberger posted an 18:16 time while Gordon finished in 19:07.
Sophomore Claire Dougherty finished in 20 flat and senior Callie Gunzenhauser followed one second later. In addition to those 23rd and 25th places, Sadie Saxton followed in 27th position overall with a 20:06 time and Julia Staltari followed in 20:43.
Potts and the Lebo ladies take their show on the road again this weekend when they compete in the Foundation Meet on the Hershey Parkview course, which is the site of the PIAA championships. Also competing in the Invitational are last year's top state finishers, Unionville and Pennsbury.
"We had a great meet and it was so much fun to run on the beautiful course on the Penn State campus but we are really excited about this run this weekend," Schreiner said. "We'll get to see how we stack up against the top teams.
"We think we belong on the same course with them. After this weekend, we'll know how good we are."

PT council approves liquor license transfer
Peters Township has one new restaurant that requested the transfer of a liquor license, and another proposed new restaurant that requested a conditional use hearing during a council meeting April 8.
Council unanimously approved the request of the liquor license transfer from Stockdale to Fady Rama LLC for the newly opened Aladdin's Eatery, 4080 Washington Road. The Middle Eastern restaurant opened April 1 and is one of six in the Pittsburgh area, the closest being in Mt. Lebanon. The restaurant specializes in Lebanese and American food, and will serve beer and wine. Liquor sales are expected to be about five percent of the business. During a public hearing before the vote, there were no comments regarding the transfer.
A conditional use hearing will be held May 13 on a request by Fiorentino Moscatiello for Fiori's Pizza and Italian Restaurant at 3801 Washington Road, formerly the location of Parkvale Bank. The property is currently zoned Commerical-4, which permits sit-down restaurants.
In other action Monday, council:
• Awarded the paving contract to El Grande Industries, plus an alternate bid for East Edgewood Drive, for a total of $773,151, below the budgeted $1 million. Additional township streets may be added later as the township received more than anticipated liquid fuels money from the state, and Pennsylvania American Water Co. agreed to provide some funds to help pave Old Washington Road between Moccasin Drive and Thompsonville Road.
• Awarded a bid to NES Rental for $16,537 to purchase an indoor aerial platform to be used to change high lightbulbs in township buildings. Only one bid was received. Maintenance and training are included in the bid.
• Announced the location of a 7 p.m. April 16 joint meeting with the school board has been changed from the library to council chambers in the township building. The meeting is not expected to last longer than 90 minutes.
• Discussed a proposed natural gas drilling site in North Strabane Township that is about 3,000 feet from the lake in Peters Lake Park. Range Resources had filed an application with the state but no application has been made to North Strabane Township. The drill site is proposed to be near Lindenwood Golf Course.
Next regular meeting is 7:30 p.m. April 22.

Last St. Patrick's Day, I volunteered to drive my niece, Brittany, and her boyfriend, Jeff, to the South Side to attend a party. This way, the young couple didn't have to drive on St. Patrick's Day.
It was unseasonably warm last March 17, and St. Paddy's fell on a Saturday. This meant that everyone was celebrating the American-Irish holiday. On the way there, from about Station Square to their final destination, 16th Street, we were in bumper-to-bumper traffic. A sea of green-clad pedestrians marched past us. A throng of humans were heading from the parade downtown to Pittsburgh's bar district.
For those unfamiliar with the South Side, it is miles of alcohol-infused environments, from Jacks, the Smiling Moose, O'Leary's, Winghart's, the Lava Lounge, the Tiki Room and Margaritaville (okay, that one's better for Cinco de Mayo). Watering holes for as far as the eye can see.
Most people were wearing blue jeans and green T-shirts. Some wore more outlandish celebratory outfits. Some of them wore green make-up, various shades of green, from Orion slave girl to the Statue of Liberty. Forget "Fifty Shades of Grey"; I saw fifty shades of green that day.
I dropped Brittany and Jeff off at their party, and I went up to visit some friends in Shadyside. I told Brit to text me when she was ready to for a ride home. I drank water all night, because I was the designated driver. My niece was 21, and it was her first big celebration as a card-carrying (literally and figuratively) member of the bar crowd.
The ride home was even more amusing. I picked Brit and Jeff up around 2 a.m. She texted me right when I was winding down. I swung back down Carson to get them. Once again, it was bumper to bumper, but now everyone was schnockered. We're talking blitzed, bombed, crocked, flying, fried, gone, half-in-the-bag, hooched, inebriated, juiced, lit, loaded, polluted, stewed, stoned, tanked, tipsy, wasted, woozy and zonked.
I saw a sea of slow-moving green zombies: "Night of the Living Drunk."
As we drove down Carson, people clutched mailboxes, telephone poles, any object they could, to steady themselves. I was idling at a red light when one woman staggered toward my car. She stood on the corner, swaying back and forth. I thought she was going to vomit on my car. I wondered if it was acceptable to blow through the red light to avoid having the contents of her stomach splayed on my hood. There were far too many cops around for me to try it. Luckily, her boyfriend, male friend, or possible total stranger, grabbed her hand and took her away.
My friend Robb refers to St. Patrick's Day as "amateur night." He says the same thing about New Year's Eve. Robb, as you may have guessed, is far from a teetotaler.
I am all for celebrating St. Patrick's Day. I've got a wee bit o' Irish in me. My mom is Irish and Greek. My dad was Italian. I guess that makes me one-fourth Irish, one-fourth Greek and one-half Italian (ethnicity mathematical computation). I do hope that everyone drinks responsibly this year. Have fun, but don't be a green zombie on Carson. There are already more of them than you can shake a shillelagh at.

I feel it is time for Americans to step up to the plate and demand a change in the way our government is run. I'm talking about our elected officials, yes, our senators and congressmen. I also feel that even local government should change. If we want to cut cost, we need to start by cutting the government, and then we should cut the pay of elected officials, and place caps on the wages of government workers.
Remember during the GOP primary campaign when Herman Cain said, "Let them get a regular job, come to Washington once a month, vote for or against a bill and then go back home"? If serving in Congress or the U.S. Senate were voluntary, with no pay, or a part-time job that paid only minimum wage, do you think they would be just as proud to do this job, because they were Americans, and they care about this country? How many people do you think would volunteer or run for the job?
They only have to be in office for one term and get paid by you and me for the rest of their lives. All elected positions should be on very limited terms, and no more than two full terms. When their terms are up or they are voted out, that is the same thing as being fired or let go. What happens when you leave your job, or get fired from it? Do you get to keep your benefits or any perks that came with it? No, I don't think so.
