Macy’s Becomes the First Major Department Store Chain to Join The EV Project
SAN FRANCISCO – April 27, 2011 – ECOtality, Inc. (NASDAQ:ECTY), a leader in clean electric transportation and storage technologies, announced today that Macy’s (NYSE:M) has become an EV Project partner. Through the partnership, ECOtality will install ECOtality’s Blink Electric Vehicle (EV) Level 2 Commercial Pedestal Charging stations at Macy’s store locations in the San Diego Metropolitan area. Macy’s will work with ECOtality to pilot the use of Blink EV chargers, and if successful, may expand the project to more locations within The EV Project.
“With Macy’s focus on environmental initiatives, we are thrilled to announce their entrance as the first department store chain into The EV Project,” said Jonathan Read, CEO of ECOtality. “We are executing on our strategy to install Blink EV charging stations at locations where people visit as part of their daily routines. Our vision is to continue to expand our network so that it will not be about finding a station to plug in, but about parking and plugging in where you shop, eat, work, and play.”
As part of the agreement, Macy’s and ECOtality will identify six Macy’s store locations in the San Diego metropolitan area for the installation of two Blink Level 2 Commercial Pedestal Chargers outside each store. ECOtality will begin installing Blink charging stations at Macy’s store locations in Summer 2011.
Blink Level 2 Commercial Pedestal Chargers incorporate smart elements of design to provide intelligent, user-friendly features that intuitively and safely charge EVs. The fully interactive 7-inch, color touch screens and web-based information delivery via the Blink Network provide media and marketing opportunities for businesses, with or without chargers at their locations.
The Blink Network of charging stations provides all EV drivers the freedom to travel wherever they choose and charge at commercial locations conveniently identified along the way. EV drivers will be able to charge at any Blink station through a variety of options including interoperable RFID cards or fobs, smartphone applications, and mobile phone and credit card based payment options. Consumers may also yield even greater advantages of the Blink Network, such as discounted charging rates, reservation systems, and enhanced Blink Network capabilities by becoming Blink Members.
In addition, the recently launched Blink Mobile Application for smartphones and mobile devices, will enable users to find Blink charger locations, utilize GPS navigation, and receive charge status notifications. The Blink Mobile Application is scheduled for release and available for download by Summer of 2011.
ECOtality is project manager of The EV Project and will oversee the installation of approximately 14,000 commercial and residential charging stations in 18 major cities and metropolitan areas in six states and the District of Columbia. The project will provide an EV infrastructure to support the deployment of 8,300 EVs. The project is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy through a federal stimulus grant of $114.8 million, made possible by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The grants are matched by private investment, bringing the total value of the project to approximately $230 million. For more information about The EV Project, please visit www.theevproject.com.

President Obama Releases Birth Certificate
Coming up this morning President Barack Obama will talk about his birth certificate
Here’s an image
Here’s a link to the pdf released as well.
President Obama was born in Hawaii. Aug 4, 1961. It has been two years since this controversy started.
Republican house started this.
The certificate says Obama was born in Hawaii, which makes him eligible to hold the office of president. Obama had earlier released a standard short form, but requested copies of his original birth certificate from Hawaii officials this week in hopes of quieting the controversy.
Now Trump has to live up to his end of the deal and deliver his income tax information and net worth. Obama called his bluff and I bet he folds. This is stupid and annoying and embaressing for a US president to show his birth certificate which is a private matter even to the point of trying to check his hopital records. Now that they’ve shown it shut up.

Outlook 2007 Print Preview/Print error after KB2509470
I want to take a minute and express how frustrating it is for Mircrosoft to release patches that are not thoroughly tested, it is obvious they are releasing updates without proper testing.
Are others running into print preview or print error message after installing MS KB2509470? Our environment XP Pro 32bit, running Office 2007 Std SP2 with latest patches from MS. Ricoh and HP Printers. If we uninstall this KB, problem is resolve.
Error Message:
There is a problem with the selected printer. You might need to reinstall this printer. Try again, or use a different printer.
National Zinc Plated 6″ Swivel Staple Safety Hasp
These are good for locks on large doors, garage doors.
They are hard to find. But ebay appears to have a good collection of them.
Are you looking to use your tickets from last years U2 concert that was postponed due to an injury Bono suffered?
If you have tickets for the 2010 dates in Anaheim then you can either get a refund or they will be accepted for a date in 2011. But be sure you check with Ticketmaster or Live Nation as the date you had in 2011 most likely will not be the same in 2011. In my case the tickets for Sunday June 6, 2010 got moved to Friday
