Oct 2: 4pm - Energy for Arizona: The
Arizona Renewable Energy Standard
CESL room 103
The University of Arizona College
of Engineering, College of Science and the
Eller College of Management presents a lecture
series: Energy for
Arizona: The Arizona Renewable Energy Standard”
By Kristin Mayes,
Arizona Corporation Commissioner. Arizona was one
of the first states in the nation to implement a
renewable requirement for its electric
utilities. In 2001 Arizona’s Environmental
Portfolio Standard (EPS) was initiated to
promote the use and development of renewable
energy. Building on the EPS, the Arizona
Corporation Commission adopted the Renewable
Energy Standard (RES) in 2006. The RES rules
require regulated utilities to generate 15% of
their energy from renewable resources by 2025.
Eligible renewable resources include
solar,
wind, biomass, biogas, geothermal and other
similar technologies to generate “clean”
energy. In addition to utility-owned projects,
the Commission required that a set percentage of
the total resource portfolio come from
distributed generation. Since the adoption of
the RES rules, Arizona’s utilities have made
steady progress. The planned Solana and
Snowflake facilities point to Arizona’s
renewable future. Commissioner Mayes will
address the importance of the RES in developing
Arizona’s energy resources. For more

re on “A Motown
Celebration”: The Supremes, the original
all-girl super-group, catapulted to the top of
the charts when they signed with Motown Records
in 1962 and recorded countless Number 1 hits.
Mary Wilson shared the stage with Mick Jagger,
Ringo Starr, and George Harrison in January 1988
when the group was inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame. In 1994, the Supremes were
honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame. The Funk Brothers
were the original house band for Motown Records
churning out hit after hit. Unknown to much of
the general public until the 2003 documentary
Standing in the Shadows of
Motown
was released, The Funk Brothers have performed
on more #1 hits than The Beatles, The Beach
Boys, The Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley
combined. Mary Wilson
recorded 12 Number 1 hits with The Supremes and
countless other Top 40 classics

Oct 6: 9-noon - High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV)
Training
USA room 104
The HOV training program has been
modified to meet State of Arizona requirements. HOVs are
defined as any full size van or Sport Utility Vehicle with
seating capacity of 8-15, and full size cargo vans. Minivans
and SUVs with seating capacity of less than 8 do NOT require
HOV driver training or certification. All HOV drivers
(faculty, staff, students, volunteers) must attend a
classroom training session, AND successfully complete a
behind-the-wheel road test conducted by RM&S or other
authorized observer. Road tests conducted by RM&S are
scheduled separately from the classroom training, and must
be done by appointment. The behind-the-wheel road test takes
about 30 minutes to complete. Departments may conduct the
behind-the-wheel road test at their own convenience with
their own staff upon prior approval and authorization by RM&S.
Those interested in conducting their own behind-the-wheel
road tests should contact John Murphy at 621-4551 or
murphjoh@email.arizona.edu
for orientation and approval. For details on these new
requirements, and other important policy changes, see the
new UA Fleet Safety Policy. Classes are subject to
cancellation or re-scheduling based on the number of
registrations received. To register for an HOV
training session, or a behind-the-wheel road test, contact

share ideas for coping with the daily issues they face.

Advisory Council Blood Drive
Main Library - 1510 E University Blvd
We all expect blood to
be there for us, but barely a fraction of those who
can give, do. Yet sooner or later, virtually all of
us will face a time of great vulnerability in which
we will need blood. And that time is all too often
unexpected.
From its beginning, the American Red Cross has
formed a community of service, of generous, strong
and decent people bound by beliefs beyond
themselves. The honor, spirit and resources of the
American people comes forth with neighbors helping
neighbors in need ? during earthquakes, floods,
fires, storms ? and also for the deeply personal and
often quiet disasters that require a gift of blood.
To schedule your appointment or
for more information contact:

ariasc@arizona.edu
Identification is
required at time of donation.
Want to know if you're
able to give blood? Review the

defined as any full size van or Sport Utility Vehicle with
seating capacity of 8-15, and full size cargo vans. Minivans
and SUVs with seating capacity of less than 8 do NOT require
HOV driver training or certification. All HOV drivers
(faculty, staff, students, volunteers) must attend a
classroom training session, AND successfully complete a
behind-the-wheel road test conducted by RM&S or other
authorized observer. Road tests conducted by RM&S are
scheduled separately from the classroom training, and must
be done by appointment. The behind-the-wheel road test takes
about 30 minutes to complete. Departments may conduct the
behind-the-wheel road test at their own convenience with
their own staff upon prior approval and authorization by RM&S.
Those interested in conducting their own behind-the-wheel
road tests should contact John Murphy at 621-4551 or
murphjoh@email.arizona.edu
for orientation and approval. For details on these new
requirements, and other important policy changes, see the
new UA Fleet Safety Policy. Classes are subject to
cancellation or re-scheduling based on the number of
registrations received. To register for an HOV
training session, or a behind-the-wheel road test, contact
Sara Thomas at 626-1136 or
sthomas@email.arizona.edu
or
register on-line.
For questions about the training requirement and HOV policy,
contact John Murphy at 621-4551 or
murphjoh@email.arizona.edu.

Oct 22: Noon - 1pm - UA Caregiver
Support Group
Student Union Presidio Room
UA Life & Work Connections, in
collaboration with Pima Health System Caregiver Education &
Support Program, announces the formation of a caregiver
support group meeting for a place to share our concerns and
develop new coping skills. The "open-ended" support group is
facilitated by a Master's level professional known in the
Tucson area for her expertise in caregiving, aging and
health care. Participants may attend on a regular basis or
less frequently, as needed. According to Jan Sturges,
Caregiving Coordinator at Life and Work Connections,
Networking with other caregivers is a healthy way for them
to connect with people who have similar concerns, and to
share ideas for coping with the daily issues they face.
Participating in a caregiver support group is a great way to
refocus, re-energize and rebalance." Go to
http://lifework.arizona.edu/ec/events.php
for updates. For more information about the caregiver
support group, or to schedule an elder care consultation,
please contact Jan Sturges at 626.4770 or

Oct 26 - Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer
Rillito Downs
This year, hundreds of thousands of people will hear the
words, "You have breast cancer," and there's a good chance
that some of them will be people we know and love. I have
chosen to fight back against this disease and help make a
difference by participating in the American Cancer Society
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, and I hope you
will join me. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is
our opportunity to honor and celebrate breast cancer
survivors, educate women about early detection and
prevention, and raise money to fund lifesaving research and
support programs to help fight breast cancer. But Making
Strides is more than just the name of a walk, it describes
the amazing progress we can make if we work together to
defeat this disease. Below is a link to my personal page. I
hope you will visit my site and sign up to join my team. If
you prefer, you can start your own team, sign up to walk as
an individual, or make a donation. Hope starts with me and
it can continue with you. Please join my team and walk with
us to experience an incredible day of inspiration and
meaning, and to provide hope for all people facing breast
cancer. To donate now, use this link to
visit my personal page. Sincerely, Claudia Arias

Send your thanks to
our soldiers.
It only takes a minute and is so worthwhile.
If you go to the
web site
http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card
and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is
currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it
will go to some member of the armed services. It is FREE and it
only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers
received a bunch of these? I sent mine, now you send one too! |

Curb Auto
Theft with the Watch Your Car Program:
It's Quick, Easy and FREE!
The Watch Your Car
decal program is a free, voluntary program that
vehicle owners enroll their vehicles with the
Arizona Automobile Theft Authority. The vehicle is
then entered into the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD)
database and participants receive decals for their
front and rear windows. By displaying the decals,
vehicle owners convey to law enforcement officials
that their vehicle is not usually in use between the
hours of 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM, when the majority of
auto thefts occur. In addition, by enrolling in the
Watch Your Car Program, vehicle owners also
authorize law enforcement officials to stop their
vehicle at any time during the day or night within
one mile of the border, if there is a suspicion that
the vehicle is being illegally operated.
If a police officer
witnesses the vehicle in operation between these
hours, they have the right to stop the vehicle and
verify it is being legally operated by the rightful
owner.
To
register for the program online go to:
https://www.aata.state.az.us/Watch_Your_Car/Info_Request/signup_request.html
Register by mail
by downloading the form at:
http://www.azwatchyourcar.com/pdfs/WYC%20-%20application%20form%20for%20website.pdf
