"Welcome to the ecoterrace web site. This site will chart the progress of a live project in Newcastle-Under-Lyme to demonstrate how existing Victorian terrace properties can be refurbished to today’s housing standards.
Our goal is to radically improve the the energy performance of the properties and provide environmentally friendly, well designed accommodation using techniques and principles that could be repeated on other properties of a similar nature. To meet the reduction in carbon emissions that the housing industry recognizes it must achieve, it is vital we improve the performance of existing properties, rather than focus solely on new build schemes."

"WP-o-Matic makes autoblogging a snap by automatically creating posts from the RSS/Atom feeds you choose, which are organized into campaigns." Potential option for Contagious republishing requirement.
I suppose it might just be a convenient excuse to kick the habit, but I really don’t get why it’s necessary for Barack Obama to hand over his Blackberry when he enters the Oval Office:
Lose the BlackBerry? Yes He Can, Maybe
For years, like legions of other professionals, Mr. Obama has been all but addicted to his BlackBerry. The device has rarely been far from his side — on most days, it was fastened to his belt — to provide a singular conduit to the outside world as the bubble around him grew tighter and tighter throughout his campaign.
“How about that?” Mr. Obama replied to a friend’s congratulatory e-mail message on the night of his victory.
But before he arrives at the White House, he will probably be forced to sign off. In addition to concerns about e-mail security, he faces the Presidential Records Act, which puts his correspondence in the official record and ultimately up for public review, and the threat of subpoenas. A decision has not been made on whether he could become the first e-mailing president, but aides said that seemed doubtful.
I can understand the need to ensure that Presidential communications are kept for posterity, but this seems an incredibly heavy-handed way of doing so. Presumably the White House is sufficiently advanced to have moved on from carbon copies to electronic documents – so how is email any different?
