Energy Efficiency Funding
For more than 20 years, DOE’s I&I program has funded more than 500 energy efficient inventions with nearly 25 percent of them reaching the marketplace. Cumulative sales for those products total nearly $710 million.
DOE’s NICE3 program provides funding to state and industry partnerships (large and small business) for projects that demonstrate advances in energy efficiency and clean production technologies like advanced window blind and window shade systems. State and industry partnerships are eligible to receive a one-time grant of up to $525,000. The industrial partner may receive a maximum of $500,000 in federal funding. The non-federal cost share must be at least 50 percent of the total cost of the project.

Juggling for Better Ice
The old league adhered roughly to the National hockey jerseys League season, running from October through March. Then the NIH’ers found some rink time at Cabin John from April to August; thus year-round nhl jerseys was born.
“We’re still juggling for better ice time at Cabin John,” said league codirector Dr. Ed Ginns, chief of NIMH’s Clinical Neuroscience Branch, who, like Henkart, grew up on Long Island and played intramural hockey jerseys at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. Starting in May, the club can take over the ice at 9:15 p.m. “We’re still relative newcomers there,” Ginns conceded.

Burger King Supports Project Care
The business community has taken a lead in the Upper Bucks Drug Treatment Center. US Restaurants, the area Burger King franchisee, has raised more than $3 million since 1985 in support of Project CARE, a Drug Treatment Center founding member. Since US Restaurants learned that youth were selling drugs outside of the Quakertown Burger King in the mid-1980s, Burger King Restaurants in the area have been selling fund-raising coupon sheets. The president of the restaurant chain realized he had to get involved, and the company became committed to supporting Project CARE. Project CARE has trained more than 20,000 adults working with young people in schools and communities and has awarded higher education scholarships to students formerly in crisis because of drug rehab and other drug or mental health issues.

A Focus on Young People
It is therefore good news that todays young people are making better and healthier decisions. With movies, music, and other forms of pop culture glorifying substance abuse, and with some sports celebrities using steroids, American families face an uphill battle in teaching young people to avoid using drugs. Yet young people have shown they can resist the barrage of Drug Treatment Centers and reject drugs.

Drug-Free Workplace Success!
Managers at Eastern Industries consider the drug rehab a great success. The company is able to retain valuable, trained workers it would have lost under the old policy, and good employees are offered the opportunity to correct bad decisions and keep their jobs.
The policy also works well with some of the new, younger workers the company recruits. For example, when a young community college student in Easterns co-op drug rehab tested positive for drug treatment center, the company enrolled that student in a drug rehab drug rehab. That recruit went on to become an excellent employee who remains with the company today.
In addition to drug testing & drug rehab and opportunities for drug rehab, Eastern Industries offers an Employee Assistance drug rehab and periodic supervisor training to teach managers how to recognize impairment on the job. Employees also receive a refresher on the companys drug-free workplace policy once a year.

Plastic Mini window blinds Potential Source of Lead Poisoning
Imported, Plastic Mini-discount blinds Identified as Potential Source of Lead Poisoning
RALEIGH — Public health officials in several North Carolina counties have found imported plastic mini-buy blinds containing lead to be a potential source of lead poisoning in young children. The state Division of Environmental Health recommends that parents and day care operators remove plastic mini-custom blinds imported from southeast Asia and Mexico from areas where young children can reach them. “It is more complicated and expensive to reliably test a blind than to replace it,” Ed Norman, head of the state’s childhood lead poisoning prevention program, said. “Parents who are not sure about their window blinds are better off moving them out of reach of young children and away from food and kitchen equipment.”
