Turn down the thermostat especially when leaving your house and at night. Consider installing a timer so you don't have to remember to do it yourself. Set the temperature as low in the winter and as high in the summer as your comfort allows. Replace traditional incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs which are up to four times more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs and provide the same light levels. They also last up to nine times longer than standard incandescent bulbs. Turn off lights in any room you're not using, or consider installing timers, photo cells or occupancy sensors to reduce the amount of time your lights are on. Clean or replace filters on your furnace, air conditioner and heat pump regularly. Wash full loads of laundry using cold water when possible.
Pick 'n' roll: Wednesday's best NBA bets
With the trade of Jason Kidd to Dallas looking imminent, the Nets will likely take the court on Tuesday without their All-Star guard. It's hard to see how the Nets will win without him. Kidd missed just 22 games in his five seasons with New Jersey and the Nets lost 16 of them. He leads the team in assists (10.4), rebounds (8.1) and steals (1.5) this season and is putting up 11.3 points per game. It's not like things were going peachy with Kidd and the team, either. The Nets have dropped 13 of their last 18 games overall and are 5-13 against the spread over that stretch. The Bulls, meanwhile, covered the spread in six of seven games before the break. Pick: Bulls L.A. Lakers at Phoenix Suns (-4 1/2, 222) It seems that Shaquille O'Neal will finally make his Suns debut Wednesday night and it will happen against his former team.
SGPC again expands itself
The SGPC today promoted five employees as assistant secretaries and two as additional secretaries, making the mini parliament of the Sikhs top-heavy. Avtar Singh today issued the promotion orders, which were his first order after becoming SGPC president for the third consecutive year. Interestingly, the SGPC had four full-fledged secretaries against one post during the tenure of Gurcharn Singh Tohra, who reigned the SGPC for 27 years. With the new promotions, the number of assistant secretaries and additional secretaries has risen to 15 and eight, respectively. Though the SGPC chief has claimed that the promotions will not put any additional burden on the exchequer of the SGPC, insiders say the newly promoted employees will be entitled to use the additional facilities like telephone, official vehicle etc.
Recognition events
Their photos in the 1941 and 1942 Wallulah, Willamette's yearbook, show them beaming with confidence and pride. At least three of them were raised in the area, Watanabe in Salem and the Oye siblings in Independence. Today they would be in their 80s, but nine are deceased. Kurita, a retired surgeon, lives in Modesto, Calif., but is unable to attend the events on Monday and Tuesday. "I have nothing but good memories," the 84-year-old said by phone. "I'm sad to hear I'm the only one surviving. I was surprised to hear Willamette was doing this, pleasantly surprised." Family members of all but one of the nisei were invited to campus on the 66th anniversary of President Franklin Roosevelt signing Executive Order 9066, which resulted in the forcible internment of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry.
