Daemen College : Student Life : Daemen Insight : Spring 2010 : North American Mobility Program
Photo by LeAnna Shanks©
The Program for North American Mobility allows students to participate in semester-long study abroad exchanges at partner schools in Mexico or Canada.
But this program is more than just your run of the mill study abroad program. What makes it unique, other than the $5,000 stipend allotted for travel, boarding, and miscellaneous expenses, is the fact that participating students complete an online course and conduct a community research project in addition to their exchange.
The 3-credit online course, "Introduction to Sustainability," not only teaches students how to endure in various life situations, but also how to "help others in the community endure" as well, says Sharon Benz, Special Projects Coordinator and Director for the Center for Sustainable Communities and Civic Engagement at Daemen College. The course focuses on teaching students how to be "conscientious and considerate of future generations and of the future [of the environment]. It isn't about living in the now," Benz explains, it is about being "socially responsible."
In addition to the online course, students complete a community research project in the community they will be living in for either the fall or spring semester. This project is meant to help the community so they see results they can be proud of.
Daemen natural science professor, Dr. Brenda Young, focuses on sustainability, so it was a "natural transition" that she be a part of the program. She has been an integral part of the program for the past two years in addition to working with Dr. Denise Mills, who screens students for the language proficiency required to participate in one of the two partner institutions in Mexico. There is a language requirement "because if you can't speak the language, you can't eat," jokes Young, who adds, "it's to ensure that students are able to effectively communicate with those in the community they will be living in." Classes in partner institutions in Canada are taught in English.
Daemen is part of a consortium of six partner universities, including Universidad La Salle, The University of Guanjuanto (Mexico), The University of Northern British Columbia, St. Francis Xavier University (Canada) and Prescott College (USA), all of which offer credit and scholarships for an experience working in local communities. These projects are overseen by faculty members at each student's home institution and are an opportunity to make a positive change environmentally, socially, culturally, and economically.
Young speaks highly of Daemen senior, Tina Martini, who is currently studying at Universidad La Salle in Mexico City. "Tina is working at a non-profit and doing a lot of good things for the less privileged," says Young proudly. "Her first community project was cleaning the drinking water." Tina is now working with the community to help them get their handicrafts approved by the Fair Trade Commission so that they can sell them for more and have better opportunities for their goods.
She will be combining this experience with her senior thesis, which relates the process of fair trade to sustainability. Tina is first in this program, which actually isn't all that new at Daemen. It has been here for the past six years, directed by Mills for the first four years and the last two by Young. However, the program changed about a year ago and participating students, now referred to as "sustainability scholars," are required to complete the online course in the semester prior to their exchange. The community research project also became integrated into the program. At graduation, "sustainability scholars" receive a certificate in "Sustaining Communities" in addition to their diploma.
When asked about her favorite part of the program, Young playfully says, "I get to visit all the sites," but a moment later she smiles and confesses, "I love hearing the stories from the children. It's always such a life-changing experience. I know it sounds trite," she admits, "but it's really true." For more on the North American Mobility program contact Brenda Young at (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Daemen students can start their internship experiences at the beginning of their sophomore year.

These were to big for me but if you love large earrings these will be perfect. The colours are tastefully presented and I love the style. They match many of RJ's collections.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These courses present breadth in liberal studies. Each one explores one or more Enduring Question(s), and through this, introduces you to one of the eight Perspectives.
These required eight courses are an introduction to eight areas: history, literature, mathematics, the natural sciences, the social sciences, philosophy, religious studies, and the visual and performing arts. In each course you will learn the distinctive content and problems investigated in that area, how scholars in that discipline think and know things, and the multiple perspectives that exist even within that discipline. Taking all eight courses shows you the diverse perspectives that exist across disciplines and invites you to contrast the different ways that the disciplines ask, explore and answer questions.
Enduring or 'messy' questions have no obvious answer and have been asked and answered in various ways for millennia. These sorts of questions are threaded throughout these courses (and the rest of your academic learning experience at Nazareth), allowing you to engage in sustained scholarly discussions regarding the questions, the answers that people have given, and the critical examination of the strengths and weaknesses of these answers. For example:

Floods take economic toll on Queensland
Brisbane, Australia (UPI) Jan 4, 2011
The long-term effect of Australia's flooding will be "significant" on the economy, a Queensland official said.
Across northeastern Australia, at least 200,000 people have been affected torrential rains and floods, covering 386,000 square miles -- an area about the size of France and Germany combined.
State Treasurer Andrew Fraser of Queensland, Australia's worst-hit state, estimates damage from the floods "will run into billions -- not millions -- of dollars," the BBC quoted him as saying Tuesday.
BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest coking-coal producer, Rio Tinto PLC, Anglo American PLC and Peabody Energy Corp. are among mine companies that have declared force majeure on their Queensland coalfields. This clause allows a miner to miss contracted deliveries because of conditions beyond the company's control.
"It's going to be hard work to get back into full production," Michael Roche, chief executive of the Queensland Resources Council, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Tuesday, noting that the damage to the state's coal industry has already reached about $1 billion.
"Mines have a lot of water to deal with and so we'll be talking to the Queensland government about some practical measures to safely get rid of excess water."
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh, pointing out that her state supplies half of the world's coking coal needed in steel manufacture, told ABC that coal mining companies "will have a long, slow climb back to full production."
Steel trader Stemcor predicted the floods could drive the price of coking coal up about 30 percent over the next few months to $330 a metric ton, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Queensland's agriculture sector is also severely affected by the floods.
"A significant proportion of wheat has been destroyed," Wayne Newton, president of Agforce, a Queensland farmer's lobby group, told the BBC.
"What has been retrieved has been downgraded to animal feed and will not be used for making bread."
Queensland produces about 5 percent of Australia's wheat. Australia is also the world's fourth biggest wheat exporter, providing critical supplies to Asia.
Mark Gold, managing partner at Top Third Ag Marketing in Chicago, told ABC that the damage to Queensland's wheat crop is contributing to worldwide shortages and pushing up prices.
"We've gone from $7.05 a bushel to $8.63 a bushel of Kansas City wheat. So that's a little bit more than 20 percent increase, so it's been a direct correlation."
Gold said Queensland's sugar cane crop has also "certainly been affected" by the floods and was having an effect on sugar prices, already at their highest level in nearly 30 years.

Global Energy, Mining, Utilities Trends Report Released
July 16, 2014
The report records key findings from the first half of 2014
Mergermarket released its "Global Energy, Mining & Utilities Trend Report" for the first half (H1) of 2014.
A few key findings from the report include:
- Q2 2014's global M&A targeting the Energy, Mining & Utilities (EMU) sector recovered from a subdued Q1. Deal value increased 68.8% to $143.8 billion with 400 deals, up from 345 deals valued at $85.2 billion Q1 2014 and marking the highest valued quarter in over a year (Q4 2012 valued at $190.4 billion)
- The growth in Q2 contributed to H1 2014 deals valued at $229.1 billion increasing very slightly on H1 2013 ($218.3 billion), up 4.9%. Despite the growth though, the market share the EMU sector had in total global M&A during H1 2014 remained at a low 14.5% compared to 21.7% during the same time last year—this was the lowest half-year proportion since H1 2006 (12.8%)
- Q2's comeback was primarily because of the dominant Energy sub-sector, which reached the highest quarterly value in Q2 2014 ($107.9 billion) since Q4 2012, over 40% higher compared to both Q2 2013 (43.9%) and Q1 2014 (49.6%). Energy deal value in H1 2014 ($180 billion) was up 16.5% from H1 2013

I'm curious to hear from the crowd whether you carry them and if so, what are your favorites. My wife gets cold feet, and I want her to be comfortable on our upcoming winter trip.
When it gets REALLY cold I bring mine since I suffer from foot neuropathy and eventually the cold gets to them. I have the Feathered Friends Down Booties (4.4 oz/pair) and sometimes bring the soled exteriors so that I can walk outside with them.
Edited by Quoddy on 12/06/2008 07:20:25 MST.
I bring Feathered Friends down booties (with the removable WPB shell and sole).They're not ideal - the sole is super-slippery on ice - but I like that the shell is removable so that the down socks can be used with a sleeping system, and the socks + shell can be used around camp.I've recently started combining them with Croc-style shoes, sized up to accommodate the puffy down socks, and I like the combo (but not the extra weight).
My two cents....I have been snow camping once, this past Feb.I took some 40 Below Booties, which are synthic and a pair is about 9 oz.They do have a nice feature in that there is a foam foot bed that you can leave in or remove, depending on how cold it is.Their website says that they have been used in the Artic.They were very warm and walking around in the snow was easy, but the sole does not look any better than the FF.-Tony
I have Sierra Designs down socks. They are for wearing in the sleeping bag. Keeps my toes nice and toasty. Just put them on my postal scale - they weigh in right at 3 ounces for the pair.
"the sole is super-slippery on ice"Try running a few lines of Seam Grip on the bottom of the sole - it gives you much more traction.
Another vote for FF with the outer shell. Mine weigh 10.75 oz and I'd love to leave them at home, but they are so warm and toasty. It's nice to dry the boots out at the end of the day and let the feet breath. I sleep with them too.
Kristin,Are you referring to these?http://www.prolitegear.com/cgi-bin/prolitegear/sierra_designs_womens_down_sleepies_sp_07How cold does it have to be for you guys (and gals) to bring down booties? I'm looking for something pretty light, around 3-4 oz. I'm not doing any snow camping thus far--just camping in cold weather were there is little if any snow. I also don't plan on using them to walk around outside the tent. The FF model looks to be 9 oz. Has anyone tried these?http://www.nunatakusa.com/site07/booties/teanaway.htmThey weigh around 2.5-3.0 oz. Not sure if they are better than the Sierra Designs, but they are expensive at $115.

Edited by skopeo on 04/27/2015 13:03:32 MDT.
"How cold does it have to be for you guys"I don't bring mine until it's snowshoe season...I'm guessing a solid -5*C or so. If there is even a chance of it being above 0*C I would think they would not be required, but that just my opinion. Also, if you don't plan on walking around in snow, I wouldn't bother with the FF ones, unless you leave the shells at home and keep them for when you do decide to do snow trips.The teanaway slippers are awesome, but just a bit too fragile and low for my needs. When I get to camp and finish the chores, the boots come off and the down booties go on.
Yes. The down socks I have are the sleepies. Got them on sale at REI last year or the year before. Think they were $10 on sale, maybe $20 full price.I only bring them when I know its going to be below freezing.
JRB makes down sleeves, 5 oz/ pair, turn any vest into a jacket...multi purpose... they serve as sleep booties/socks also....pull over the foot to the ankle, leggins....when ready to get in the bag/quilt fold down the upper portion over the foot....Enjoy the night too.Remember I'm biased.Pan
Jack, That's a good idea! What kind of loft and fill do these sleeves have?
I know TNF makes some in their Nuptse line that have a pretty durrable sole. I might have to get some if I can find a size 14 on sale and see if I can put my Kathoola Microspikes on them. They might end up being pretty good winter hiking boots for short jaunts. It would be cool to try them with Sierra Designs new booties also but they don't make a size big enough.Anyone see anything in a size 15 beyond Nunatak as I just can't afford those?
Edited by bpeugh on 12/06/2008 10:03:09 MST.
Oh yeahhhhh. Down booties'll put a smile on just about anyone's face on a winter trip. My ex used to steal mine all the time, even at home, so I finally had to get her a pair. Part physiological, part psychological. Bottom line, when it's cold outside, it's really nice to know your feet'll be warm n' toasty. Makes going to bed or wearing wet, cold boots much easier to take sometimes. I've been using SD booties, but like the FF and Nunatak; probably prefer FF for versatility.
I like your croc shoes idea for an "around camp" shell. Easily slips in and out without requiring you to bend over. Great suggestion.For a while I saw the croc-style brand "Nothings" everywhere. I think even Walmart was carrying them. They were wildly inexpensive, and were a light weight foam. Much lighter than croc's rubber.
"My wife gets cold feet, and I want her to be comfortable on our upcoming winter trip."I understand. I have poor circulation and my feet tend to cold faster than anyone elses. Yes, I wear down booties, around camp and in the tent. In my sleeping bag I just wear wool socks."I like your croc shoes idea for an "around camp" shell. I think even Walmart was carrying them. They were wildly inexpensive, and were a light weight foam. Much lighter than croc's rubber."I bought the knock-offs at WalMart and my pair weighs 4 oz. I'm on my second year and they're still going strong.
Another vote for the Feathered Friends. The shell-inner system is great.
I was highly skeptical of the FF down booties until my first visit to their retail store. Simply put, get them without hesitation. There are cheaper ones on the market, but they just don't compare to these; they are the best.My household has since become loyal to Feathered Friends -- two bags, booties, vest and a jacket. Everything is made in their factory in Seattle.

Brian,Missed your earlier question.JRB Down Sleeves use 800pf down.... and loft to 1.5 inches.Pan

Twinlab PS Gummies Features Enzymotec's Novel Cognitive Health Ingredient Phosphatidylserine (Sharp-PS®)Thu, 10/16/2014 - 08:43 — webadmin
New Non-Soy, Vegetarian Source Product Featured in Select Specialty and Health & Natural Foods Stores Nationwide
NEW YORK – August 19, 2014 – Twinlab Corporation, the trusted leader in innovative, high performance health and wellness products, extends its product offerings to include PS Gummies, which helps support memory and cognitive function in students. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a major phospholipid in the brain, and along with other phospholipids makes up the basic structural components of the cell membrane. These membrane phospholipids play an important role in cell-to-cell communication and the transfer of biochemical messages into the cell.*
"Our new PS Gummies are an easy and delicious way for students to get supplementation of these important phospholipids. This product was formulated using Sharp-PS® Green a non-soy, vegetarian source of PS developed and produced by Enzymotec," says Twinlab product formulator, Gene Bruno. "Sourcing quality ingredients is of the utmost importance to us, so we are thrilled to be one of the first companies to use this high-quality, effective ingredient." PS Gummies are also gluten-free, vegan, kosher and are currently in review for Non-GMO Project certification.
"We believe that PS in gummies represents a new stage in the evolution of dietary supplements" says Elzaphan Hotam, CEO of Enzymotec USA.
PS is a natural nutrient found in foods and abundant primarily in brain cells. Numerous studies have found that PS is effective in supporting healthy brain functions in the elderly.* "The novelty here", says Elzaphan, "is that we have identified a similar benefit for students as well. And what is truly exciting is the technology we have employed here -- one that guarantees excellent taste and convenience. There's nothing like this in the market today."

Miracle Baby Born in Tragic Aftermath of Aurora ShootingMonica Bielanko
Just days before his birth, little Hugo Jackson Medley's life was almost over as his mother barely escaped a hail of bullets.
Katie Medley was one of several people who made it out of an Aurora movie theater alive on midnight last Friday.
Hugo was born at 7:11 a.m. on Tuesday. Both mom and baby are doing well. But Dad, Caleb, is in the same hospital in a medically-induced coma after he was shot in the face.
He was put in the back of a police cruiser and driven to University of Colorado hospital. A spokesperson for the Medleys says he has lost his right eye and suffered brain damage.
Katie and Caleb's love story began back in high school. As MSNBC reports, they started dating during their senior year in the small town of Florence, Colorado and eventually got married when they were 21 years old.
On that last night before everything changed Caleb and Katie decided to treat themselves to one last night out before they'd need a babysitter.
Now the entire family is in the hospital as Mom brings in new life and dad hovers close to death. And, like many young couples in America these days, the couple doesn't have health insurance. "Caleb and his family have no insurance, and these hospital bills are going to be well into the hundreds if not thousands if not millions. Caleb and Katie will be struggling with these hospital bills for the rest of their lives," the couple's close friend Michael West wrote on a website he started to help raise money for the Medleys.
The website dedicated to Caleb Medley has raised more than $310,000. The goal is $500,000.
A Facebook page that has been liked by more than 7,000 people also documents the family's journey since the shooting that so drastically altered their lives.
In a posting on Tuesday West writes:
Caleb is still in critical condition, but is stable and is showing multiple signs of improvement. Caleb has been to three surgeries so far, and is looking better every day. Katie has had her baby, Hugo, at 0711 this morning, he is 7 lbs 4 oz, 18 ½ inches long, and looks very healthy! Katie took Hugo down to the ICU hours after birth to share a moment with her husband Caleb (who is still in a medically induced coma). Caleb showed signs that he could recognize that Katie and his newborn son were with him in the room. His blood pressure rose, his pulse rose, and he was squeezing Katie's hand harder than he has since he's been in the hospital.
Caleb and the entire Medley family have a long road ahead of them. If you would like to donate to Caleb's medical fund click here.

Welcome ToMAKEUP.COM
July 10, 2012

There are some beauty looks that stand the test of time. True classics—think red lips, sheer nail polish and a neutral eye—feel right no matter the season or decade. Other looks pop up like Hanson, and "MMMBop!" their ways into our hearts for a month or six and then are regarded years later with nostalgia (and maybe a hint of regret).
Below is a roundup of hair and makeup trends that have become so crazily popular over the past few months that we're almost ready to send them packing.
Because as overdone as these looks are, they've been hanging around for a reason. But with a couple of quick updates, they can have a new lease on life.
At least until Labor Day!
The Topknot
I have a confession to make.
I am a total topknot addict.
I can't help it. Topknots are easy, chic, get my locks out of my face and away from my son's paws, and are a fantastic day-to-night hair solution.
But lately it seems like everyone from Miley Cyrus and Julianne Hough to each fashion blogger on the planet has a topknot in rotation, and the look is getting a little too ubiquitous to truly feel fashion-forward. This, let me emphasize, does not mean that I'm abandoning my go-to do anytime soon. Fashion-forward is not really my deal.
I am merely admitting that the topknot may be a wee bit overcooked trend-wise.
If you're equally entranced by the style but are looking for a simple update, retire those messy topknots we've been seeing these past few months. And instead try going for a neater chignon twist or giving your look a special-occasion flavor by mixing in a braid or two.
Nail Art
I like bright and sparkly tips as much as the next girl, but let's get real. When sprinkles—like the ones you put on cupcakes—start being perceived as a totally acceptable addition to one's beauty cabinet, you know that somewhere, somehow, a shark has been jumped.
I mean, have you taken a look at Pinterest lately? Everything from neon rainbows to miniature tuxedos and the aforementioned baking products can be found adorning nails.
Nail art is a fun way to play with color and pattern, but honestly? I'm over it. Summer beauty is all about chilling out and embracing a chip or two and these high-maintenance hands go extremely poorly with the sun and surf.
What feels fresher this summer: a great manicure in a simple solo color. I myself have been loving barely there sheers and glossy black polishes.
Ombré Hair
Everyone couldn't get enough of this multitone effect, with dark roots fading out to light tips, when it first hit the beauty scene. But now it looks more dated than daring.
Still, any look that Alexa Chung rocks probably deserves a second go-around.
If you still want to give ombré hair a try (or, like me, are super lazy about your roots), try asking your colorist to weave in some lowlights and highlights to soften the overall effect.
The neon eyes and lips trend popped up last summer, and is still going strong on the runways. Flourescent liner and eyeshadow is one look I'm happy to abandon for the time being. I mean, really, acidic pink eyeshadow is a gorgeous look on exactly no one! But I continue to love brightly colored lipstick, especially acid tangerine or watermelon red hues.
To make this beauty trend feel brand new, try switching up the texture. Go for either a matte lipstick or a high-gloss pencil. And pat on the color with a fingertip, skipping the liner, so that the look is easy, breezy and totally beachy.
Major False Lashes
Lately it seems like celebrities' lashes are growing more thicker, longer and dramatic by the day, but I think it's just a simple fact that anything the Kardashians do can now be considered overdone. Out-to-there lashes used to look sexy and wild, but now they just feel a bit like yesterday's news. Plus, when the beach is beckoning, who has time to mess around in front of the mirror with tweezers and glue?
Still, there are some occasions that simply demand a little lash-batting. If an over-the-top, big-evening-out eye is what you're after, try this trick for a slightly more natural look. Buy inexpensive drugstore strips and then cut them in half, affixing the half-strips to the outer corners of your eyes before blending with mascara.
Highlighter at the Inner Corners of the Eyes
OK. This thing. It's a good idea in theory, but in truth? When I see someone with gold or silver sprinkled on the inner corners of her eyes I don't think, "Oh, how lovely and large that girl's eyes look." I think, "Oh, that girl put highlighter at the inner corners of her eyes to make them look bigger."
The way to solve this problem: lighten up your touch. NARS' chunky highlighter pencils deposit a minimal amount of shimmer, so your beautiful eyes catch the light without catching any unwanted judgment.
What trend do you think needs an update?

I agree with every single word you said. ;)So true. xxhappylocks.blogspot.com
This is the most honest and relatable post i have read !And i thot i was the oni one thinking fake lashes look.. well fake.. The comment highlighter on the inner corner of the eye was hilariously relatable... i so agree....
I totally can relate with you... even though I'm personally not ready to omit these aforementioned styles from my everyday life, they have certainly over-saturated the fashion media, and therefore it probably means that the trendiest amongst us need to move on to the next thing. In the meantime-- if these things still make you feel good, go for it!
We all judge. Some just pretend not to.
The thing about nail art is that it can go either way : bad when done on every nail, good when used on one nail as an accent nail.
1. Turn your topknot into a chignon. Voila:::glamour.
2. Nail "art" is total trailer park, IMO.
3. As is ombre hair.
I happen to disagree. In this age of "anything goes", there are many cute, pretty and unique hair, nail and makeup styles that look nice. There are alot of them that I wouldnt personally use or wear, but if others are happy with them, then so be it. Who am I to judge? And who are you to judge?

DOD Partnership Results in an Energy-Efficient Office
At a Glance
Environmental Attributes:
The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) conducted an energy-efficiency upgrade at one of its leased office buildings using a unique funding mechanism called a shared energy savings protocol. The capital costs were paid for by the building owner but were partially offset by savings from future utility bills.
Contract Language:
Not available, since the building owner (not DOD) hired the contractor.
Key players:
- DOD's Leased Facilities Division.
- Technical Assistance Office of the U.S. Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP)
Environmental Information Sources:
- Executive Order 13123 [PDF]
- FEMP's Measurement and Verification Guideline for Federal Energy Projects.
- Energy Efficient Leased-Space Toolbook.
The project will save DOD $431,000 per year in energy costs.
Contact Information:
Listed at the end of the case study.
While numerous federal agencies have made significant environmental and economic improvements in government-owned facilities, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has demonstrated that the same is possible for leased facilities. The modernization of DOD's Hoffman II building proves that energy efficiency upgrades can be effectively conducted in government-leased facilities using unique funding mechanisms to finance the upgrades. The Hoffman II modernization demonstrates that energy-efficiency upgrades can be both environmentally and financially preferable.
The Process
DOD has occupied Hoffman II, a 643,000-square-foot office building in Alexandria, Virginia, for more than 30 years. In 1996, DOD decided to undertake a complete energy-efficiency upgrade of the building in order to comply with Executive Order (EO) 13123 [PDF], which requires federal agencies to reduce energy consumption in government-owned buildings. Although DOD does not own Hoffman II, it has the sole responsibility for paying the building's utility bills. As a result, DOD staff faced the challenge of gaining the building owner's support for the project before proceeding. DOD worked with the contractor, Pepco Services, Inc. , and the building owner, Hoffman Management, to craft a triparty agreement that satisfied all parties. The result was the first "shared energy savings protocol" undertaken in a government-leased facility in the Washington, DC, area.
The shared energy savings protocol stipulates that DOD will pay Hoffman Management a portion of its utility bill savings over a predetermined period. Hoffman Management agreed to finance the energy renovation project even though it will not be able to recover 100 percent of its capital outlay. To gain the owner's commitment to finance the project in this way, DOD entered into a supplemental lease agreement with the owner.
Even though the renovation contract was awarded by Hoffman Management, DOD was involved in the contractor selection process and obtained the help of the Technical Assistance Office of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) to analyze the energy efficiency measures proposed by the contractor.
To win the contract, potential contractors first submitted preliminary analysis reports that provided an overview of the existing condition of the building's energy system. Next, two contractors were selected to submit estimates of how much it would cost to prepare a Detailed Feasibility and Design Report (DFDR) outlining the proposed energy-saving renovations. Finally, the contractor with the lowest cost estimate was asked to prepare a DFDR, which was scrutinized by both DOD and the DOE to ensure that all proposed energy-efficiency measures and equipment complied with the appropriate FEMP recommendations. The contractor's DFDR also included estimates of the expected energy savings, total cost of the project, and payback period. All calculations were analyzed by DOD and DOE for accuracy. Upon approval of all proposed energy-efficiency measures, the contractor began the renovations outlined in its DFDR.
Use of Energy-Efficient Products
The following energy-efficiency upgrades were completed as part of the Hoffman II modernization project:
- A comprehensive lighting system upgrade, including installation of T-8 lamps
- Installation of energy-efficient heat pumps
- Retrofitting of the cooling towers to allow for automatic operation
- Installation of an energy management control system
Cost Considerations
The Hoffman II modernization cost $3.8 million, and DOD will save a minimum of approximately $431,000 per year in energy costs. This is a 20 percent reduction from DOD's current costs. The simple payback period is just 8.9 years.
Lessons Learned
DOD learned that a shared energy savings protocol can be an effective tool to gain the support of building owners in funding energy-efficiency upgrades in government-leased facilities. Since the owner of Hoffman II does not pay the utility bills, the protocol provided the incentive the owner needed to commit to the project. As a result, the owner was able to recover a portion of its investment and DOD was able to comply with EO 13123 [PDF] and achieve significant reductions in energy consumption. "The biggest surprise was how well the three parties worked together for one common goal," said Josephine Johnson, energy coordinator for DOD's Leased Facilities Division.
As a result of this successful project and its unique shared energy savings protocol, DOD has decided to use the same mechanism for future projects involving government-leased property and the installation of energy-efficient technologies. These projects will involve the same steps that contributed to the success of the Hoffman II modernization:
- Completion of a comprehensive pre-evaluation of the building's existing technologies by FEMP's Technical Assistance Office
- Selection of a contractor that has the technical and economic capability to undertake such a project.
- Development of a DFDR.
- Creative negotiation with the building owner and the chosen contractor to implement a mutually beneficial agreement.

Tip your cap fans because there is no two ways about it: The Nats met the woodshed this weekend courtesy of a very good, very hot, Atlanta Braves team. There is no dobut which was the better team this weekend, so Nats fans ought to be thankful a season hasn't come down to a weekend in April. With any luck, the Braves are playing their best baseball of the year right now and will start to come back down to Earth fairly soon.
The Nats were out hit, out pitched, made errors and were also very seriously out-lucked. The Braves might have won anyway, but the baseball seemed to have a Braves magnet in it whenever the Nats hit the ball hard. All of that added up to blowing a 4-1 lead to lose 6-4 in 10 innings, a tough Saturday 3-1 loss and a blowout 9-0 stinker on Sunday.
What Happened? The team got their ass kicked. It's not even worth exploring really in a broad sense. Ryan Zimmerman made three errors in three days (one of which probably, in conjunction with Danny Espinosa, cost the team the game). The Nats probably needed to score more runs on Friday when they had the chance against Terhan, and get some runs early against Tim Hudson when they had the chance. Both pitchers settled back into their unworldy level of success.
Danny Espinosa is day to day after getting hit on the hand, which will give the Steve Lombardozzi fans a chance to see their man play. I had said in the previews that adding Lombo to the lineup might cause problems, as he doesn't really fit the 7 spot. I was ready to be okay with him in 7 given how the batters were hitting, but Wilson Ramos is also out for at least 15 days with a hamstring pull. A victim of MLB rules, the Nats need to make room to bring up a back-up catcher because a week is too long to go with just one guy, but they need to put someone on the DL to make room for Jhonatan Solano. There isn't a 7 day DL, so Ramos is going to be out for two weeks.
Lost In the Shuffle: Only one thing was done well this weekend, and that was two starting pitching performances. Ross Detwiler, Two starts in a row has been lights out, and has nothing to show for it. His .69 ERA comes from just 2 runs (only one earned) in 13 innings pitched against two teams that, otherwise, have scored rather easily against the Nationals so far this year. Stephen Strasburg also got bit by the unlucky bug, giving up the year's first Unearned Home Run after an error didn't end an inning, and Evan Gattis hit the most awkward homerun ball up at his neck. No doubt Strasburg didn't have his best stuff, but he also was getting outs other than this cruddy series of events.
Marilins Series
Well, it's probably a good time for the team to get out of town, and Miami is as good a place as anywhere to play baseball. The Malrins continue to be the bad team they were in Washington for the Opening Day series, currently with a record of 2-10 (They've beat the Mets and the Phillies once each). If they aren't the worst team, they are the second worst team in baseball right now.
That Said: I've been on the "it's a long season" train all weekend with the Braves season, and part of the long season is that teams like the Marlins win 50ish games-and they don't win all of them against other bad teams. The Nats are not going to sweep the Marlins for the year, 19-0 isn't going to happen no matter the talent disparity. It doesn't mean the Nats can't sweep the Marlins this weekend (they can), and it doesn't mean the Marlins can't win 2 out of 3 at home against the Nats (they actually could), both of those things could happen. The Nats ought to be aiming to win the first two games against the Marlins putting them in position for the sweep. That counts as success, even against a bad team. Expecting a sweep, or denying the possibility of getting beat by the Marlins, is begging for disappointment.
Whatever has been biting at the Nationals these past two weekends isn't going to get solved in a series against the Marlins, but they can keep pace by beating up teams they should in the meantime. Marlins will send Leblanc, Sanabia and Nolasco, each of which gives up plenty of runs, and the Nats should score some and win these games. The Nats will face progressively tougher series (Mets, then Cards and Reds at home) as the week goes on, so getting these wins now (and buidling a little momentum a la the Braves) is a good idea.

PAWTUCKET — Potter Burns Elementary School, closed for repairs since a section of an unoccupied basement room gave way on May 22, will reopen for the start of the school day on Monday, June 3.
Nathanael Greene Elementary, closed last week for similar problems, will reopen Tuesday, June 4, according to an announcement by Schools Supt. Deborah Cylke.
The ceiling issues at Potter Burns and Greene prompted inspections of similar older buildings in the school district but no similar structural problems were found after inspections by an engineer for Edward Rowse Architects and the city fire marshal and building inspector, according to school officials.
The inspections did reveal the need for other work at the following schools, all of which remain cleared for occupancy for regular classes:
• Slater Junior High School: minor repairs to a stairwell and further inspection of the principal's office;
• Shea High School: four classrooms still closed for repairs where ceilings were previously opened to allow plumbing access. The pool and gym, with very high ceilings, will be closed pending examination requiring use of a lift.
• Goff Junior High School: no ceiling or structural issues found but the gym will be closed pending repair of a beam encasement.
• Tolman High School: no issues found.
An open house was held for parents Sunday afternoon at Potter Burns. For further information, go to www.psdri.net.

HI GUYS HAPPY NEW YEAR, try" flatracer" they do a complete kit,less S bars for 250 pounds sterling plus postage of coarse, they have changed their web site around a bit, but I was still able to get all the info, the kits come with or without headlight ears, hope this assists ,jimmy
Last edited by jimwjarmour; 01-12-2014 at 08:16 PM.
A number of years ago I had a knockoff S style fairing on my '84 R100. It attached with U slotted brackets to the headlight mounts. That didn't seem sufficient, but it worked reasonably well. To be sure, I never cruised at length above 85.
61 Gold Star, 03 CBR600RR, '13 690 Duke, '14 Street Triple R (gone but not forgotten: '76 R75/6, '84 R100, 76 R90S)
Cost was an issue for me, so I went with this bikini fairing from boxercafe for my naked 91 R100. I think it was like $75 in primer gray. I was painting other bits anyway, so the incremental cost was negligible. It bolted right on the headlight ear mounts. It certainly does not have the protection of a S type fairing, nor the classic looks, but does shield the instrument cluster and enhance the bike aesthetic. Have fun with your project! bikini.jpg
I have a couple of questions about your set-up.
Is the fairing anchored to the bike at the ears holding the headlight? On mine, the ignition key is on the left headlight ear. I don't know where it is on your /7. Is it the same? If it is the same , do you have any trouble reaching in and inserting the key with the fairing in place?
Mine has a separate clock (left) and voltmeter (right) of the central tach/speedo unit. These are mounted on "ears" of their own, attached to the top of the forks. From your pics, it looks like there is sufficient room for these to fit in there also. I was also thinking that the fairing could also attach to those ears, maybe as additional bracing.
My headlight lens is 7 and 5/8 inches, and with the chrome ring, diameter is about 8 and 1/4 or 3/8 inches. Is that about what you had?
Any pictures you could post about the internal connections would be appreciated.
From the outside, that looks very good on your ride. Also, I like the straight glossy black without pinstripes look of your bike. Nice!
Hi Bob,
yes, the fairing is anchored to the ears using U shaped attachments.
I have the same size headlight, with the ignition on the left ear.
There is plenty of room to reach for the key, no problem there.
The attachments coming with the fairing are too small/short, therefore I had to make new ones.
I used stock aluminum bars from hardware store- right side one inch wide as the original, but the left had to be one and a half inch wide to fit the ignition body, which is almost one inch wide- see the pic.
It needed some tinkering when bending the bars for correct angle.
I had to cut openings for blinker stems in the bottom corners- I took blinkers off for easier measurement and the correct placement, then reinstalled them.
I also added plastic edging to the shield for better finish look- used black door protectors from Auto Zone.
Since the fairing is attached with only two bolts it was vibrating at the top corners I added brackets from same bars.
Make sure the headlight is positioned in correct angle before tightening the bolt/nut on the ears- especially the big nut on the ignition is crucial- luckily there is long enough threading on it to add large washers between headlight/ear/bracket/fairing...
I hope it will help together with more pics.
Good luck,
few more pics
see the difference in the size and the angle between new and old attachments
Vlado. thanks for the additional pictures. I think I am going to give it a try.
Hi Bob,
one more thing- the fairing is slightly wider at the bottom where you will cut the openings for blinkers- it is necessary to squeeze it a little to fit between blinkers.
If the cuts are positioned correctly and are the same size as the dimples on black plastic blinker's shells where it goes over into metal stem it will help to hold the whole fairing tightly together, kind of substituting for additional attachments like some another fairings have.
I also replaced black lentil head screws with new stainless ones and countersink them into the shield for flush fit. Just be careful when drilling into plexiglass.
I am going to take some more detailed pics right now and post it for you in a few.
Here are pics...
if you need more, just ask
good luck ,

Dager: Meter reading between the lines
Like something you'd see on one of those hilarious caught-on-tape television shows, there he was, the utility company guy, kicking a board out of the fence in an attempt to view the meter. That didn't work, so he walked a few short steps into the yard. That's when the meter got read. But he didn't tell the homeowner he'd used boot force to remove the board, or that he'd left it resting against the fence. He just walked away.
My husband came home, saw the loose board, and then reviewed the video to see what happened. I called the utility company and asked if they wanted to see the clip of their employee vandalizing our property. They didn't. They offered to repair the fence. The board wasn't a big deal — my husband nailed it back in place. We just wanted them to promise it wouldn't happen again.
A few years later, it's December 2010 and we got a bill that didn't look right. I called the utility company and the representative told me that it, like the previous month's, was an "estimated" bill. I asked why. She asked me if I had a dog. I told her I do, but he's an inside dog. I explained the layout of our property and how easy it was to read our meter. She was nice. She sent an area supervisor, also nice, to our home. He checked out our yard, made some notes, fixed a glass piece on the meter and asked me to have my husband remove some equipment near it. No problem.
January 2011, a meter reader is once again on our street. My husband pulled into our driveway and saw him reading our neighbor's meter, so he waited outside our home to talk to him to make sure everything was OK. It was a long wait.
Finally, my husband took a look down the driveway we share with two other homes and saw the meter reader leaving. The guy never went to our house.
My husband called the utility company to ask why the employee didn't read our meter. The representative told him to call back in a few days.
I called and was informed that the meter reader's excuse for not reading the meter was that we have a dog, so there was no access. But the dog was in the house, and, as far as we could tell, the guy didn't get close enough to make that assessment. Even if there were a dog in the yard, he could have read the meter from behind the fence, using his periscope. It appeared that he simply didn't want to walk to our property, which is a bit of a distance from our neighbors'.
I told the representative that if he honestly thought there was a dog present and his safety was compromised, I could understand, however, given our videotaped history with meter readers, we have some trust issues. This representative, also nice, said she'd leave a note for the meter reader.
The next day, another reader came to the house, unannounced. He, too, was nice, and verified everything I told the telephone representatives and the area supervisor.
The problem is not the way our complaints have been handled. Everyone's been amenable, probably at least partially because we haven't been jerks about it. The real problem is that, unlike most businesses, we can't go someplace else for what we need if we're not getting proper service. Even if the bill is higher, I'd much rather have a true read than an estimated one, but we're at the mercy of the guy who either wants to read the meter or doesn't. And if he doesn't, we can't exactly catch him on tape not doing his job.

The Pentagon has made contingency plans to send small teams of special operations troops into Syria if the White House decides it needs to secure chemical weapons depots now controlled by security forces loyal to President Bashar Assad, senior U.S. officials said.
President Obama warned this week that any effort by Assad to move or use his arsenal of chemical munitions in the country's conflict would cross a "red line," implying it could prompt swift U.S. intervention.
But Pentagon planners are more focused on protecting or destroying any Syrian stockpiles that are left unguarded and at risk falling into the hands of rebel fighters or militias aligned with Al Qaeda, Hezbollah or other militant groups.

The Tenderness of Wolvesby Stef Penney
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A brilliant and breathtaking debut that captivated readers and garnered critical acclaim in the United Kingdom, The Tenderness of Wolves was long-listed for the Orange Prize in fiction and won the Costa Award (formerly the Whitbread) Book of the Year.
The year is 1867. Winter has just tightened its grip on Dove River, a tiny isolated settlement in the Northern Territory, when a man is brutally murdered. Laurent Jammett had been a voyageur for the Hudson Bay Company before an accident lamed him four years earlier. The same accident afforded him the little parcel of land in Dove River, land that the locals called unlucky due to the untimely death of the previous owner.
A local woman, Mrs. Ross, stumbles upon the crime scene and sees the tracks leading from the dead man's cabin north toward the forest and the tundra beyond. It is Mrs. Ross's knock on the door of the largest house in Caulfield that launches the investigation. Within hours she will regret that knock with a mother's love — for soon she makes another discovery: her seventeen-year-old son Francis has disappeared and is now considered a prime suspect.
In the wake of such violence, people are drawn to the crime and to the township — Andrew Knox, Dove River's elder statesman; Thomas Sturrock, a wily American itinerant trader; Donald Moody, the clumsy young Company representative; William Parker, a half-breed Native American and trapper who was briefly detained for Jammett's murder before becoming Mrs. Ross's guide. But the question remains: do these men want to solve the crime or exploit it?
One by one, the searchers set out from Dove River following the tracks across a desolate landscape — home to only wild animals, madmen, and fugitives — variously seeking a murderer, a son, two sisters missing for seventeen years, and a forgotten Native American culture before the snows settle and cover the tracks of the past for good.
In an astonishingly assured debut, Stef Penney deftly weaves adventure, suspense, revelation, and humor into an exhilarating thriller; a panoramic historical romance; a gripping murder mystery; and, ultimately, with the sheer scope and quality of her storytelling, an epic for the ages.
"Stef Penney, who in an even more unusual coup, won the first novel prize with a murder saga, The Tenderness of Wolves. The (Costa) judges said it made them feel "enveloped in the snowy wastes" of Canada in 1867. Penney, agoraphobic at the time, did all her research in the British Library." The Guardian
"Confident and complex portrait of 1860s Ontario. . . . Between twists and turns of plot, Penney evokes the land — its shades of light and changes of weather, its marshes and treacherous waters. Rarely has winter seemed so febrile. . . . This one is a powerhouse." Books of Canada
"An original and readable mixture of mystery and history, with a good dollop of old-fashioned adventure." The Times (London)
"A fascinating, suspense-filled adventure, a refreshing contrast to the conventional murder mystery." The Sunday Telegraph (London)
"An entertaining, well-constructed mystery . . . sexy, suspenseful, densely plotted storytelling . . . a novel with far greater ambitions than your average thriller, combining as it does the themes of Conrad's Heart of Darkness with Atwood's Survival, and lashing them to a story that morphs Ian Rankin with The Mad Trapper of Rat River." The Globe and Mail (Canada)
"A quite remarkable debut novel set in the snowy backwoods of Canada in 1867 . . . atmospheric and delicately written mystery."Birmingham Post
"Penney's descriptions of the harsh landscape and the deprivation of living there are vivid and excellent." The Daily Telegraph (Australia)
"The novel works itself up to a blizzard of a climax wherein most of the mysteries — murderous, romantic, filial and sexual 7#151; are solved. There's history, adventure, wit, and suspense. It's no surprise that The Tenderness of Wolves won Britain's Costa Book of the Year in 2006. Americans should also love this book." Philadelphia Inquirer
"The author is a recovering agoraphobic. And she claims to have never set foot in Canada. The latter is a remarkable fact, considering what a vivid sense of place Penney has provided, and certainly speaks to the author's imaginative talents. But the former hints at the novel's underlying power. Canada is only a metaphor for a far more isolated and lonely setting: the human soul." Minneapolis Star Tribune
"[An] elegiac musing on the nature of isolation." Christian Science Monitor
"[A] first-class murder mystery, which must be doubly commended considering that the setting and the time." St. Petersburg Times

The Association of Old Crows host the 49th Annual AOC International Symposium & Convention in Phoenix, Ariz.
Themed, "Arming the Spectrum Warrior," this event held at the Phoenix Convention Center Sept. 23-26, brings together experts in the fields of electronic warfare, offensive cyber operations and information operations.
These experts provide insight and facilitate professional discussions that allow attendees and presenters to advance the discipline of electromagnetic spectrum warfare. The convention reaches out to young professionals to showcase EMS professions and provide mentorship to advance EMS enabling careers.
Spanning four days, the symposium features hours of informative EW and IO briefings from the leading military and industry experts charged with implementing EW operations in evolving combat environments. Presentations address future EMS threats, needs and technologies, management techniques to facilitate military operations in an increasingly contested EMS environment, as well as means of integrating and coordinating Spectrum Management, EW and IO, and problems related to and opportunities arising from international EW collaboration.
Additionally, the conference examines the impact of the mobile computing revolution on EMS operations, intelligence data requirements for next generation platforms and conflicts, policies and processes to improve EW system life cycle value, and EW standardization across services.
Keynote speakers include: Deputy Commanding General, Chief of Staff, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, Lt. Gen. David D. Halverson; Director of Global Operations for U.S. Strategic Command, Maj. Gen. Gregory A. Biscone; Joint Staff's Reserve Deputy Director for Joint and Coalition Warfighting, Rear Adm. Scott E. Sanders; Fellow and Chief Scientist of the IBM Analytics Group, Jeff Jonas; and Former Director of Research of the National Security Agency, Dr. Eric Haseltine.
Attendance at this event is vital for those involved in the design, development, testing, evaluation employment and policy development of electronic warfare systems and for those "young" crows interested in gaining an understanding of the dynamic world of spectrum warfare.
For more information and registration details, visit www.crows.org.
AOC is a non-profit international Electronic Warfare/Information Operations association which promotes electromagnetic spectrum operations and related activities across military, civilian and commercial applications. It is the mission of the AOC to advance strategy, policy and programs for EW/IO, and electromagnetic spectrum operations.

"Being Yourself" Onstage
Techniques to frame personal and found stories in a theatrical context.
This workshop uses creation techniques that focus on the depth of finding simplicity and honesty onstage, both in performance and in the collection of performance material. The workshop mixes elements of clown training with journalistic techniques as well as a sharp focus on tempo, simplicity and finding the essential in a story. Participants are challenged to be intimate, adventurous with form and to "find the funny".
Good for performers, writers and theatre-makers interested in adapting biographical material for the stage.
Boot Camp with JOHN TURNER
This workshop takes place in 7 straight days of work (over 50 hours) with the use of the stuff from Baby Clown for creation and performance of original work. The individual works on creating and performing original material of any performance genre, expanding the perception of what clown is and how it can be used. This is advanced clown covering anything in performance/creation including duos or trios, speaking in clown, nose/no nose . . . anything expanding and cementing the use of the work. There will be two or three public performances with note sessions following. Depending on the performance schedule this could take the workshop to 8 or 9 days.
Advanced Performance Intensive with JOHN TURNER
This last one, the API is for people who have a piece ("act") they're working on that they may have even performed already and can be original work or not (solo, duo, or trio). The pieces are farther along than in Boot Camp. We work with smaller numbers and more intensively. This workshop is a little closer to being directed in a piece, using the clown training as a starting point. Again, the pieces can be any genre and if an act has a director or stage manger already, they would be welcome to observe. Each group gets three intensive work periods with time in between to work on notes from the sessions. Students to have done Baby Clown and would have priority status for admission. This workshop would be the same number of days as there are acts, plus a day or two depending on the performance schedule. If there are 8 acts then it will be 8 days.
Baby Clown or Clown Through Mask with JOHN TURNER
This is the mind blowing beginning Pochinko-style workshop and the prerequisite for the other two mentioned here. It lasts 16 days (over 100 hours). It basically runs 9:30 - 4:30 every day with some extra out of class time for paper maché of the masks etc. (max 14 students)
BOUFFON with KAREN HINES
This course might best be described as 'neo-bouffon': rooted in the lessons of Parisian master Philippe Gaulier, but focused on finding more appropriate ways to apply the bouffon basics within the context of contemporary North American culture. Through written and performance parodies, a comedic-oriented dissection of societal maladies, and an unflinching look at the more grotesque aspects of the human species, the course aims to wring laughter from the darkest aspects of our cultural condition.
This course is designed for writers and directors as much as it is for performers. Course content and exercises are challenging, and not for the faint of heart. There is homework, and participants will be asked to prepare very short pieces. No bouffon or clown experience is necessary, but a CV or resume and a brief telephone interview are required prior to acceptance.

The rear-end collision caused Nieuwenhuis' vehicle to hit a 1997 Ford Expedition, driven by 27-year-old Muskegon Heights resident Darryl Lee Williams Jr.; as well as a Volkswagen, driven by 52-year-old Wayne Frutchey of Muskegon, Luce said.
Luce said the eastbound portion of I-96 was closed for more than an hour as a result of the accident.
According to police, both Sandra and Ed Nieuwenhuis were taken by a Life EMS ambulance to Spectrum Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, where they were treated and released for minor injuries.
Krause was taken to Mercy Hospital in Muskegon, where he was listed in stable condition. Williams was treated at the scene with minor injuries. Two passengers in Williams' vehicle were uninjured.
All parties were wearing their seat belts at the time of the accident, Luce said.

Making a Point in Matehuala
In the city of Matehuala, Mexico, in the northern state of San Luís Potosí on the high plateau of the Huasteca Potosina, a small team from Vice Magazine discovered a daring, swaggering subculture of rodeo dancers who enjoy extreme pointiness in their foot wear.
Fans of this botas vaqueras exóticas phenomenon customise their boots, some of which have been known to measure upward of 5 feet. The boots are further pimped with paint, glitter, LED lights, bits of hardware, mirrors or sequins.
Various cowboy venues in Matehuala, host dance-offs to music known as tribal guarachero. The music is described as "a combination of thumpy house music, ancient Hispanic chants and flute work, and Colombian dance songs known as cumbia." Pointy-toed participants in these dance contests spend ages choreographing intricate footwork routines and creating original outfits out of fabric and paint. At these events, there usually are pointy boot contests as well. The prize may only be a bottle of whiskey or the prestige of winning, but pointy boot designers and wearers are devoted and serious.
Though the Vice team found the subculture to be flourishing in Matehuala, there is some disagreement on its origins. For example, Gabriel Amaro Barajas, aka Minri, insisted that his crew, Barrio Apache Hyphy, started the trend—not in Matahuala but in the small neighboring community of Zaragoza de Solís.
