Thank you for coming out to take care of our issue in such a timely manner. We also appreciated your friendly professionalism.
Jose came and dealt with all of our issues in a professional, timely and high quality manner. I loved being able to sign up for a service call online, and BCL&S was great about communicating/verifying appointments. I will totally use them again....they are locally owned, and a great business to be associated with.
Jose came to rekey all of our locks and he was friendly, communicative, hard working and professional. I appreciated how I could just schedule the appointment online and it was confirmed immediately. I would most definitely use BCL again!!

Excellent customer service! Very helpful and informative. Alex only had 30 min until closing to explain my options and produce the key and he did it without hesitation! Thank you!
Jose from Bear Creek came to our house to install a new front door lock. He was professional and helpful, and managed to do it all while a new puppy untied his boot laces and chewed on his pant leg. He saved us some money, and our new lock works better than the old one when it was new. Thanks, Jose!
Awesome service. High quality and efficient and very reasonable pricing. Will use them again happily!!!!!
I had a stressful day in regards to loosing my car key, I did finally found it but felt exhausted with stress over the whole ordeal. I thought it best to stop and make an extra copy of my car key so I didn't have to go thru this stress again. Alex was very kind, patient and helpful. I was impressed with seeing how patient he was with the indecisive customer that was in front of me as well. I would certainly reccommend this establishment.
Thomas did great job trouble shooting and dismantling old door lock on Friday 11/2/2018. He took photos of lock and assembly and parts. I requested him to send them to my e-mail address (not text). His work was expert.
Thomas was prompt, courteous and professional. Very satisfied with his service.
I came in to have a fob programmed for my car the guys weren't sure they would be able to program it there that I may have to go to Ashland. Jose went above and beyond with his great fabulous customer service figured out that the fob computer was still good it was the button pad thy wasn't connecting. He put the programmed chop from the old fob into the new one and I was on my way. Kudos to him and his great customer service.

Locked myself out of my gun safe and called Bear Creek Lock. I have used them in the past to re-key a truck and they had done a professional job in the time quoted and I was very pleased. Same this time around. The technician arrived on time and went right to work, 90 minutes later new keypad installed and everything worked. Cleaned up his workspace and showed me how my new keypad worked. I would recommend Bear Creek Lock and Safe for any lock work you need done.
A huge thank you to Thomas! You are fortunate to have such a great, efficient/effective employee! You Company is the best!!
Alonso was professional; showed up on time; and did the rekey job quickly without any problems. I would use Bear Creek again.
Excellent service. Quick and efficient. Highly recommend.
Jose went the extra miles to get my slightly funky configurations improved when he left over when he arrived. Extended me some trust, too, when I had forgotten my CC at the time I booked the job and "bought" key blanks of my choice for the job later that day. I'd wager anyone would be glad to have him come service their locks.
What a great job. Jose spent a lot of time explaining the locks, changing them, helping me code the ones that needed them. He was the ultimate professional.
Thomas was right on time, polite and professional. Job was done quickly and properly. I would highly recommended Thomas and Bear Creek Lock.
Thomas arrived on time and was very kind and helpful. Highly recommend Bear Creek Lock and Safe!

Great job. On time, friendly, excellent work, reasonable prices. Thanks.
Very quick and efficient. Treated with respect and took care of my request.
Excellent service on a Saturday when my deadbolt broke in the locked position. The repairman was prompt, cheerful, and professional. He had a new deadbolt installed in just a few minutes and also did a repair on the door jamb to make the door shut more securely. Very impressed! Thank you, Bear Creek Lock!!
Alonso did a great job getting into my filing cabinet! It wasn't an easy job, but he did it! He was personable and timely in getting here, also.

The keys seemed to be made of thinner materials - unsure about durability and I have yet to try them out.
Sure appreciate Chris taking the time to get the RV faub working.
I didn't need to see the selection as I had a car key made and just wanted the same type as the original.
Could not have been more helpful. Great experience.
My self and another friend had keys made. Then I asked the young man to remove the burrs from the keys....alot better please. But both sets of our keys still have sharp edges . I could tell that it was not important for him to clean off the burrs. Please contact me if you like. I have always had great service from your business.
Bear Creek Lock & Safe Always does a fantastic job for us!
The guy was very nice and fast!!
The guy who made my key was friendly. They had a great selection of different designs of keys! Also lots of cool Keychain. Very clean place, and very quick to have keys made.

Jose came on time, worked rapidly, and solved the problem quickly. He was pleasant and polite and I would recommend him.
Work was completed quicker than anticipated, we were able to swing by after shopping @ Fred Meyer.
Thank you for your service. I do wish though that you would bill AAA for reimbursements for AAA members though. Some of people do not have cash or credit card available in an emergency situtation. Luckily I did.
Found my prob and had a wired part to fix it in a very timely manner. Great experience after my hours of frustration.
Patient, patient, patient. You were all kind, willing to please, get it right, perseverant. Thank you!
Great service, workmanship is 2nd to none.
A very pleasant, helpful experience.
Good job explaining options and upselling.

Q: Open new html page inside phonegap app The thing with phonegap is that it uses it's own API via phonegap.js that is declared at the head of the index.html page.
When using window.open and it's alternatives, the new page will forget anything from the previous one, and phonegap's API would no longer be accessible.
What is the right way to open a new html file?
I really find it hard to believe that phonegap apps have to be one huge html file.

A: Does your phonegap app need to open a new page? The idea of phonegap is 1-page app. Meaning that to change the view, you don't need to reload the whole DOM tree. Rather you load your DOM only once and then manipulate objects inside it.

A: You can move to another html page by this code:
window.location = "NewFile.html";

Nowadays human activities are causing more and more problems for peaceful existence of other species. People think that their lives are more important than anything on the Earth. However, they often do not understand that there is no need to fight against other species. On the contrary, humans' very survival depends on a multiplicity of species ranging from simple bacteria to complex mammals ("Species extinction," n.d.).
The increase of commercial fishing scope threatens to empty the ocean within upcoming decades. That is one of the major reasons of why the penguin colonies are collapsing. The flightless birds cannot stand the effects of global warming, environmental pollution and overfishing. All these factors damage their ocean habitat. Besides, rising temperatures of water reduce the ability of plankton to reproduce. Therefore, the entire oceanic ecosystem is being undermined.
It is said that humans are causing changes even faster than the natural reasons that pushed back the glacial period. Global temperatures are rising faster than it was before, and this is because of the 35 percent increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide caused by the Industrial Revolution. Human population is growing very fast, and it puts more pressure on existing resources. The researchers claim that it is unavoidable that the population will have reached 9 billion by 2050. Moreover, most of the people do not even realize the amount of harm that they do to the planet. The technologies will keep developing, and plants will keep arising all over the world because people are just not able to stop and enjoy what they already have. They always need to consume more and more resources until they run out of them and have nothing. It is impossible to estimate how many species are in danger of extinction nowadays. However, the extinction of one species potentially leads to the extinction of those which are bound to it in a complex ecological web.
The amphibians are the group with the highest rate of endangerment. Frogs, toads and salamanders disappear because of water and air pollution, habitat loss, climate change and other factors. Furthermore, in response to human activities which cause the profound changes, the populations of birds are declining all over the world. Additionally, the number of disappearing species is also rising because of the capture by collectors.
As it was already mentioned, the aquatic ecosystems are at the biggest risk of extinction today. That happens because of the increasing demand for water resources, damming of rivers, dumping and accumulation of pollutants and invasive species (Jelks et al., 2008).
The most disastrous fact in the present extinction crisis is the disappearance of mammals; they are human's closest relatives. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of the world's primate species are in danger of extinction. This also concerns marine mammals – whales, dolphins and porpoises that are on the edge of disappearance. It is caused by large and small catastrophes all over the ocean when the oil is spilled into the water as a result of reckless negligence of careless people. It is undeniable that major oil companies are responsible for such mistakes, but no money can restore the vast losses of environment.
Furthermore, there is a great impact of plants on our lives. Unfortunately, scientists say that global warming is causing quick and dramatic changes in the range and distribution of plants around the world. With plants making up the base of the food chain and the backbone of ecosystems, that is very bad news for all species (Tilman, May, Lehman, & Nowak, 1994). It will be very hard for all living creatures to survive without plants.
To sum up, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of species extinction problem. Everyone should understand that if they do not take care of the planet now, it will be harder to fix it in the future. Although people cannot prevent some catastrophes from happening, they can at least treat nature with more respect. It will secure a better future for the next generations; they will get an opportunity to live their lives like people do now and maybe later they will find a way to save the nature from devastation.

Para la pintura de este artista del mismo título que está en la Catedral de Amberes, véase Descendimiento de Cristo (Rubens).

El descendimiento de la cruz es una pintura de Peter Paul Rubens realizada en 1600-1602 como su primer gran trabajo encargado para la capilla privada de Leonor de Médici Gonzaga (1567-1611), duquesa de Mantua. El descubridor de la pintura fue el historiador de arte Prof. Justus Müller-Hofstede. Su tema de especialización son los primeros Rubens.

Descripción
El retablo de gran tamaño revoluciona las pinturas habituales del Descendimiento de Jesús desde la Cruz del Cinquecento y absorbe la idea de la santa Eucaristía: la dama arrodillada en primer plano como una encarnación simbólica de la duquesa que recibe el Cuerpo de Cristo como un amante para la cena (cf.  ).  Estilísticamente, la pintura es comparable a otra obra temprana creada aproximadamente al mismo tiempo: "La Elevación de la Cruz" para la capilla de la basílica de la Santa Cruz de Jerusalén, que ofrece la misma perspectiva al grupo de mujeres de luto.

Historia
Rubens conoció el descendimiento de la cruz (pieta bandini) de Miguel Ángel, ya fuera por un grabado de Cherubino Alberti o porque vio la pieta personificada en Roma. Comprometido con la duquesa de Mantua, Leonor Gonzaga, Rubens se unió a un concurso (paragone) con el escultor y creó una nueva composición. Rubens realizó el trabajo por encargo de la duquesa Eleonora de Medici en Mantua con las dimensiones de un retablo. Que Rubens fue el creador de la pintura está comprobado archivísticamente desde que fue copiada por el pintor de la corte Francesco Marcoleoni en 1611 (después de la muerte de la duquesa) para la iglesia Santa Maria Assunta en Susano.

El texto histórico describe la copia de Marcoleoni y la referencia original de Rubens de la siguiente manera: [. . . ] Un Christo che togliono di croce, che coppiò messer Francesco Marco Leone che viene da Pietro Paolo Fiamingo, et è originale nella capella di Santa Croce di sopra in Corte [. . . ]

Después de los primeros borradores ( Museo del Hermitage, San Petersburgo ), Rubens se dedicó también en períodos posteriores a esta misma idea del Descendimiento de la Cruz, entre estos trabajos se encuentran los famosos trípticos el Descendimiento de Cristo (Rubens) en Amberes, el Descendimiento de la Cruz en Lille, en San Petersburgo (Rusia) y en Arras (1610).

'Deadpool' creator showed fans his imagining of Josh Brolin in the role of Cable.
There's a long way to go before "Deadpool 2" hits theaters next year and production is busy rounding up the squad for the second outing. Most recently in a surprise turn of events, Josh Brolin, who is already familiar to moviegoers as Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was cast as Deadpool's colleague, Cable.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news, revealing how Josh Brolin beat out "Stranger Things" actor David Harbour, Michael Shannon, and landed the role after Brad Pitt passed it on due to scheduling conflicts. Other names attached to the role were Russell Crowe, Stephen Lang, and Pierce Brosnan.
The imagining of Josh Brolin as Cable has arrived thanks to "Deadpool" creator Robert Liefeld, who took to Instagram to share a sketch of the actor in the role. The sketch is simply black and white and is a headshot of Brolin as Cable.
The 49-year old actor has joined Zazie Beetz, who was also been recently cast as another of Deadpool's squad members, Domino. Producer and star Ryan Reynolds took to Twitter to announce her casting, and in true Deadpool fashion, has responded to the casting by tweeting the following.
Apart from "Deadpool 2" and "Avengers: Infinity War," Josh Brolin is also starring in the upcoming "Granite Mountain," which will land in theaters this September 22. He reunites with another Marvel star, Benicio del Toro in "Soldado," which is the follow-up to "Sicario." Meanwhile, Brolin will also star alongside George Clooney in "Suburbicon," which opens on November 3, and "The Legacy of the Whitetail Deer Hunter," which arrives on Christmas Day.
This year, several MCU films are set to hit the big screen, with "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" arriving this May 5. Special screenings have already been held and the film has earned a positive response from those lucky attendants who are able to see the movie. Banking on the success of the sequel to the 2014 hit, the studio has already booked writer and director James Gunn to return to pen and helm the third installment.
"Spider-Man: Homecoming" with Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr.
reprising his role as Iron Man is arriving on July 7.
Meanwhile, "Thor: Ragnarok" is also arriving this November 3, bringing back Chris Hemsworth as the titular character, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. To keep up with all things MCU, make sure to bookmark this page.

Sumlin, Texas A&M agree in principle to new contract
• Purchase Bowl Tickets
COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M and coach Kevin Sumlin have agreed in principle to a new six-year contract that could keep him with the Aggies through 2019.
The university said Saturday that the terms of the deal still needed to be approved by its Board of Regents.
Sumlin is 19-5 in two seasons with the Aggies (8-3) heading into their game Saturday at No. 5 Missouri. That's the most victories by a coach in school history in his first two years.
There had been much speculation regarding Sumlin being a candidate to become Southern California's permanent head coach, or that he might be pursued by an NFL team or two as he was after last season. The new deal could put an end to the uncertainty.
"I am humbled and very appreciative of the commitment that Texas A&M has extended not only to me and my family, but to our football program overall," Sumlin said in a statement. "We have only just begun to lay the foundation for sustained, long-term success here at Texas A&M, and we will work hard every day to make this great institution and the 12th Man proud."
In six seasons as a head coach at Houston and Texas A&M, Sumlin has a career record of 54-22.
Coach Sumlin has demonstrated why he is considered among the nation's elite football coaches. His coaching and recruiting abilities are only secondary to his integrity, class and passion for his student-athletes and this University," athletic director Eric Hyman said in a statement. "Texas A&M is making a sincere commitment to Kevin. We are fortunate that he is committed to remain an Aggie for a long time to come, and we are excited about what the future has in store."

Texas A&M is once again loaded on the mound with the return of left-hander Asa Lacy and others. Here's how the Aggies grade out entering the 2020 campaign.

These are the five best women's basketball players at every position

2019 Pulitzer Prizes announced earlier!
We're excited about the 2019 Pulitzer Prizes announced earlier this week!
The winners are…
Fiction: The Overstory by Richard Powers
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize
A New York Times Notable Book and a Washington Post, Time, Oprah Magazine, Newsweek, Chicago Tribune, and Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2018
"The best novel ever written about trees, and really just one of the best novels, period." —Ann Patchett
The Overstory, winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, is a sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of—and paean to—the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers's twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.
Drama: Fairview by Jackie Sibblies Drury
CLICK on book for more details
Winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
"Dazzling and ruthless…one of the most exquisitely and systematically arranged ambushes of an unsuspecting audience in years…a glorious, scary reminder of the unmatched power of live theater to rattle, roil and shake us wide awake." —New York Times
Grandma's birthday approaches. Beverly is organizing the perfect dinner, but everything seems doomed to go awry—the silverware is all wrong, the radio is on the fritz, and the rest of the family can't be bothered to lift a hand to help. And yet, what appears at first to be a standard family dramedy takes a sharp, sly turn into a startling examination of deep-seated paradigms about race in America.
History: Fredrick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom by David W. Blight
A NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, and TIME TOP 10 BOOK OF THE YEAR
Winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for History
Winner of the 2019 Bancroft Prize
Winner of the 2019 Lincoln Prize
The definitive, dramatic biography of the most important African American of the nineteenth century: Frederick Douglass, the escaped slave who became the greatest orator of his day and one of the leading abolitionists and writers of the era.
As a young man Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) escaped from slavery in Baltimore, Maryland. He was fortunate to have been taught to read by his slave owner mistress, and he would go on to become one of the major literary figures of his time. He wrote three versions of his autobiography over the course of his lifetime and published his own newspaper. His very existence gave the lie to slave owners: with dignity and great intelligence he bore witness to the brutality of slavery.
Initially mentored by William Lloyd Garrison, Douglass spoke widely, often to large crowds, using his own story to condemn slavery. He broke with Garrison to become a political abolitionist, a Republican, and eventually a Lincoln supporter. By the Civil War and during Reconstruction, Douglass became the most famed and widely travelled orator in the nation. He denounced the premature end of Reconstruction and the emerging Jim Crow era. In his unique and eloquent voice, written and spoken, Douglass was a fierce critic of the United States as well as a radical patriot. He sometimes argued politically with younger African Americans, but he never forsook either the Republican party or the cause of black civil and political rights.
In this remarkable biography, David Blight has drawn on new information held in a private collection that few other historian have consulted, as well as recently discovered issues of Douglass's newspapers. Blight tells the fascinating story of Douglass's two marriages and his complex extended family. Douglass was not only an astonishing man of words, but a thinker steeped in Biblical story and theology. There has not been a major biography of Douglass in a quarter century. David Blight's Frederick Douglass affords this important American the distinguished biography he deserves.
Bio: The New Negro: The Life of Alain Locke by Jeffrey C. Stewart
Winner of the 2018 National Book Award for Nonfiction.
A tiny, fastidiously dressed man emerged from Black Philadelphia around the turn of the century to mentor a generation of young artists including Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Jacob Lawrence and call them the New Negro — the creative African Americans whose art, literature, music, and drama would inspire Black people to greatness.
In The New Negro: The Life of Alain Locke, Jeffrey C. Stewart offers the definitive biography of the father of the Harlem Renaissance, based on the extant primary sources of his life and on interviews with those who knew him personally. He narrates the education of Locke, including his becoming the first African American Rhodes Scholar and earning a PhD in philosophy at Harvard University, and his long career as a professor at Howard University. Locke also received a cosmopolitan, aesthetic education through his travels in continental Europe, where he came to appreciate the beauty of art and experienced a freedom unknown to him in the United States. And yet he became most closely associated with the flowering of Black culture in Jazz Age America and his promotion of the literary and artistic work of African Americans as the quintessential creations of American modernism. In the process he looked to Africa to find the proud and beautiful roots of the race. Shifting the discussion of race from politics and economics to the arts, he helped establish the idea that Black urban communities could be crucibles of creativity. Stewart explores both Locke's professional and private life, including his relationships with his mother, his friends, and his white patrons, as well as his lifelong search for love as a gay man.
Stewart's thought-provoking biography recreates the worlds of this illustrious, enigmatic man who, in promoting the cultural heritage of Black people, became — in the process — a New Negro himself.
Poetry: Be With by Forrest Gander
Winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry
Publishers Weekly Best Poetry Book of 2018
Forrest Gander's first book of poems since his Pulitzer finalist Core Samples from the World: a startling look through loss, grief, and regret into the exquisite nature of intimacy
Drawing from his experience as a translator, Forrest Gander includes in the first, powerfully elegiac section a version of a poem by the Spanish mystical poet St. John of the Cross. He continues with a long multilingual poem examining the syncretic geological and cultural history of the U.S. border with Mexico. The poems of the third section—a moving transcription of Gander's efforts to address his mother dying of Alzheimer's—rise from the page like hymns, transforming slowly from reverence to revelation. Gander has been called one of our most formally restless poets, and these new poems express a characteristically tensile energy and, as one critic noted, "the most eclectic diction since Hart Crane."
General Nonfiction: Amity and Prosperity: One Family and the Fracturing of America by Eliza Griswold
2019 Pulitzer Prize Winner for General Nonfiction
2019 Helen Bernstein Book Award Finalist for Excellence in Journalism
Prize-winning poet and journalist Eliza Griswold's Amity and Prosperity is an expose on how fracking shattered a rural Pennsylvania town, and how one lifelong resident brought the story into the national spotlight. This is an incredible true account of investigative journalism and a devastating indictment of energy politics in America.
Stacey Haney, a lifelong resident of Amity, Pennsylvania, is struggling to support her children when the fracking boom comes to town. Like most of her neighbors, she sees the energy companies' payments as a windfall. Soon trucks are rumbling down her unpaved road and a fenced-off fracking site rises on adjacent land. But her annoyance gives way to concern and then to fear as domestic animals and pets begin dying and mysterious illnesses strike her family—despite the companies' insistence that nothing is wrong.
Griswold masterfully chronicles Haney's transformation into an unlikely whistle-blower as she launches her own investigation into corporate wrongdoing. As she takes her case to court, Haney inadvertently reveals the complex rifts in her community and begins to reshape its attitudes toward outsiders, corporations, and the federal government. Amity and Prosperity uses her gripping and moving tale to show the true costs of our energy infrastructure and to illuminate the predicament of rural America in the twenty-first century.

After a summer of preparation, Penn State is back and ready for an action-packed schedule littered with key matchups throughout.
The Lady Lions open their season Tuesday at 7 p.m. against LIU at the Bryce Jordan Center.
While the blue and white has not faced LIU in the past few years, this game may be a challenge for Penn State — although neither is ranked in the top 25.
Last season the Lady Lions had a record of 9-15, and they moved on to the Big Ten Tournament. However, during the tournament, the blue and white lost to Michigan State with a score of 66-75.
LIU last season had a record of 7-11 — playing only nine teams and playing each team twice.
Despite being foes in the first contest of the year, Penn State and LIU will take much different paths after Tuesday.
LIU will face teams such as Vermont, Lafayette and Sacred Heart, while the Lady Lions will play Big Ten teams such as Indiana, Iowa and Maryland.
The blue and white had many close games last season — most notably beating Rhode Island by one point and Ohio State by two.
Then-sophomore guard Makenna Marisa helped Penn State win in one of those tight matchups when she made a game-winning layup against Rhode Island.
Penn State played Ohio State twice last season. The first time they faced each other was Jan. 4, and the Buckeyes won 82-69. During this game, Ohio State was able to get a fast lead on the Lady Lions.
However, Penn State bounced back the second time around and beat the Buckeyes 69-67 on Feb. 24.
While the Buckeyes will not get a regular-season chance for revenge, the Lady Lions will play Ohio State on Jan. 3 in Columbus.

Another important fixture for the Lady Lions will be their tilt with Rutgers.
Penn State played Rutgers twice last season, falling in both affairs. The first time they faced each other was on Feb. 28, and Rutgers took the victory 60-55.
During this match, the Lady Lions stepped up their play during the third quarter and were able to catch up to the Scarlet Knights but still failed to come out on top.
They played each other again on March 2, and Rutgers again won — this time by an even greater margin of 74-56.
The second time Rutgers won, Penn State got a head start in the beginning, but the Scarlet Knights controlled and dominated the second quarter, outsourcing Penn State 25-12.
Another key contest awaiting coach Carolyn Kieger's squad is its dates with Michigan State, where the blue and white will seek revenge from last season, as Penn State lost to Michigan State in the Big Ten Tournament on March 10.
The blue and white will play Michigan State twice this upcoming season. The first time they will face each other will be on Jan. 27 and the second time on Feb. 21.
Last season, the first time Michigan State and Penn State played each other, the Spartans won 78-65.
Despite the loss, Penn State outscored Michigan State during the second half with the Lady Lions, totaling 39 points, while the Spartans totaled 30.
In that second matchup, the two sides met in the Big Ten Tournament. Now-fifth-year senior guard Niya Beverley had an injury and could not help Penn State advance past the first round of the conference tournament.
With the regular season set to begin on Tuesday, Penn State will look to get off to a strong start against several nonconference opponents.
The season will start to heat up in terms of difficulty starting with Boston College on Dec. 2 for the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. From then on, the Lady Lions will be tasked with improving on a dismal 6-13 conference record from last season as it faces the Big Ten's best, starting with Indiana on Dec. 6.

Gate Gourmet is the largest provider of airline catering in Vancouver, supplying 75% of all airline meals that leave Vancouver International Airport (YVR). In 2015, Gate Gourmet took part in the Climate Smart program offered by YVR to support businesses located in the airport's terminals and on Sea Island. Climate Smart's expertise in greenhouse gas management and business engagement opened the door for collaboration between the airport authority and its tenant businesses to cultivate leadership on climate action and advance broader environmental goals.
Prior to Climate Smart, Gate Gourmet's environmental focus had been primarily on waste reduction. They had purchased a digester to process their organics and implemented an extensive recycling program.
Through Climate Smart Andre Fernandes, the OPEX Manager at Gate Gourmet, was given the tools and resources to measure and track building energy use and identify where savings could be achieved. Climate Smart connected Andre with a lighting contractor, CEEG, who came in to do a lighting assessment at Gate Gourmet's main kitchen and warehouse.
The contractor quickly saw an opportunity to replace the old halogen lights at the warehouse with LED fixtures. The total project cost was $51,000, with a BC Hydro Power Smart incentive of $32,000 bringing the cost down to just $19,000. The annual savings of $23.8K meant a quick nine month payback.
Inspired by the success of the project, Andre is now planning a significantly larger upgrade at the company's main kitchen facility. He projects a 67% reduction in electricity use and a fast two year payback.
"In 2015 we were given the opportunity to participate in Climate Smart as part of a pilot supported by YVR, along with other businesses operating at the airport. The experience with Climate Smart helped us find savings and reduce energy in areas we hadn't previously considered. Working with Climate Smart led us to shift our focus beyond waste and look closer at our electricity and natural gas use. Next, we will be looking at upgrading the lighting in our larger facility and scheduling an assessment to investigate our natural gas reduction opportunities." says Andre.

November 3, 2015 - Federal Procurement
Raytheon Co. v. U.S. – The High Hurdle to Challenging Agency Corrective Action
By: Pablo Nichols
On October 23, 2015, the Federal Circuit affirmed[1] a decision from Judge Sweeney of the Court of Federal Claims rejecting Raytheon Company's challenge to the Air Force's decision to take corrective action following outcome prediction by GAO. The circuit's decision serves as an important reminder of the high hurdle that an unsatisfied litigant at GAO must overcome to overturn agency corrective action.
During the subject procurement, Raytheon prevailed over two competitors, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation and Lockheed Martin Corporation, in a competition for a $71.8 million contract to provide equipment and services for the Air Force's new long-range radar program. Northrop and Lockheed filed protests at GAO, which, following a hearing, conducted outcome prediction ADR. GAO informed the parties that it was prepared to issue a decision sustaining the protest in part on the basis that the Air Force's discussions with Northrop were misleading and unequal as compared to the discussions with Raytheon. Specifically, GAO was prepared to find that the Air Force informed Raytheon that research and development costs were allowable as IR & D, but informed Northrop that IR & D cost reductions would not be accepted. As a result of these disparate discussions, Raytheon offered IR & D cost reductions in its final proposal while Northrop did not offer similar reductions, thereby inflating its overall price. GAO recommended that the Air Force reopen discussions with all three contractors to explain its current view of the allowability of IR & D costs, and solicit revised proposals.
The Air Force took corrective action consistent with GAO's recommendation, and Raytheon filed a protest challenging the Air Force's decision at the Court of Federal Claims. Judge Sweeney agreed with GAO that the Air Force's discussions with Northrop and Raytheon on the allowability of IR & D costs were unequal and favored Raytheon. Accordingly the court held that GAO's outcome prediction decision was rational, and that the Air Force's decision to take corrective action was also rational.
The Circuit explained that the standard for overturning agency corrective action is whether the agency's grounds for taking corrective action – in this case, GAO's outcome prediction decision – "rationally justified" the decision to reopen the bidding process. The Circuit agreed with the Court of Federal Claims and GAO that the Air Force's unequal discussions regarding IR & D accounting, which was a prejudicial violation of FAR 15.306(e)(1), provided a rational basis for the corrective action.
A challenge to an agency's decision to take corrective action following a GAO protest will turn on whether GAO's decision was rational. Where GAO rationally finds a prejudicial violation of law was conducted during the procurement, the agency may undertake the recommended corrective action and survive court review.
