Mass sliding in energy efficiency rating
Link. Link2 for the report.
Mostly because of delays in adopting new building codes and techniques
Also this - sounds like what Amory Lovins has been touting - energy efficiency

“Energy efficiency is the quickest, cheapest, cleanest way to cut our energy costs," said Ian Bowles, secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, in a statement. "When we tap its full potential, we will protect consumers, reduce our environmental impacts and grow our clean energy sector.”
Get your kids the flu shot
New advice is for all children up to age 18 to get the flu shot.
According to this article, half the children who died from flu were aged 5-17. They also found that staph in conjunction with flu resulted in more difficult to treat complications.

Freecycle
Just wanted to plug this - it's kind of a barter/exchange via web. It works by using a Yahoo group. Here's the website.
You get messages about offers or wanted items in your area - the Worcester one is pretty active - maybe 50 messages a day easily. Here's the pointer to the Worcester freecycle group with instructions.
You need a Yahoo mail account, which is easy and free to setup. It can be addictive though! Don't end up with a bunch of stuff you don't need now! ;)

A sad loss - my condolences
Deanna Goggins, former head of the Auburn District Nursing died this week.
My aunt who works as a home health aide knew and always spoke highly of her. She served the community in so many areas for a long time and will be missed!
