However, Johnson County school districts deserve the freedom to spend more if they want, period.
No one is supporting abdicating the role of sending large sums of money to poorer districts, both urban and rural...

Benefits Of Parham Heating & Cooling
*Up-Front Pricing
*NATE Certified & 100% Trane Dealer
*"Fixed Right" Guarantee
*Full 1 Year Repair Warranty For All Repairs
Parham Heating & Cooling's goal is to give you quality installation and service that will not only meet but exceed your expectations of how service should be provided to you and your home or business.
HELPING SAVE TENNESSEE HOMEOWNERS ON
THEIR ENERGY BILLS
We are a 100% certified Trane dealer and NATE certified. We service and repair any make or model central heating and cooling system from residential to commercial systems.
Proper Trenton air duct sealing can make a big difference in the over all energy efficiency of your home. We build all of our duct systems in-house to TVA standards which require all joints to be sealed with foil-mastic tape, instead of regular duct tape, which has a caulking type backing that better seals the joints from any and all air leaks. TVA also requires that all duct has to be insulated internally with a 1 inch liner or externally with a 2 inch wrap providing it with a higher "R" value helping prevent less heat loss or heat gain through the duct which means more savings for you the customer. Building duct to these standards is something that our competitors only do IF it's a TVA financed job; we do it on all of our installations.

The solar industry could see dark days ahead as manufacturers of the panels used to capture the sun’s energy continue to shutter operations, The Wall Street Journal reports.
At least seven solar-panel manufacturers have filed for bankruptcy or insolvency during the past several months.
For nearly 40 years, high hopes have been pinned on solar as a way to eliminate the world’s dependence on fossil fules, but a glut of suppliers is causing prices for solar panels to fall.
On the upside, global demand for solar power is growing, and 8 percent more solar panels will be installed in 2011 compared with 2010...

Good selection of basic fashion fabrics, upholstery, craft and quilting supplies, as well as yarn and notions. Their pattern selection isn't huge, and they're no Mood Fabrics (as featured on "Project Runway" with oodles and oodles of high end fabrics) but they have all the necessary supplies to set up a tricked out sewing room, and also offer classes for sewers of all levels.
Their staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful - a must for those of us who are just getting started sewing! I also love the fact that they have a Frequent Shoppers Membership, which offers discounts on their already well-priced products (and classes, too!).

As a parent of a child at Shambhala School, I cannot say enough good things about the school, its teachers, students, and the community that makes it tick.
The school is such a warm, nurturing environment where, as the Director says, "Everything matters." Children are encouraged to blossom, explore and take delight in learning about the world around them.
Parents are encouraged to get involved in the school's community, and small class sizes, a special focus on the arts, and attentive teachers (passionate about teaching and helping children on their journey as little persons) create a beautiful atmosphere for learning.

Johnson County Board of Commissioners has agreed to buy the King Louie building at 8788 Metcalf Ave. in Overland Park for $2 million and plans to move the Johnson County Museum from Shawnee to the old bowling alley and ice rink.
The acquisition of the 72,000-square-foot facility closes on Dec. 31.
The commission also will spend $1.6 million to renovate the bowling alley, which closed in 2009, and the ice skating rink, which closed in 2007.
The Johnson County Museum, which is at 6305 Lackman Road in Shawnee, was deemed overcrowded by commissioners and the building unusable in the long term after a flood in 2009 damaged about 1,500 square feet of the 20,000-square-foot facility...

“Whether this culture is real or imagined, employees everywhere are forsaking vacations and even family time for the primacy of work,” Right Management Senior Vice President Michael Haid said in a written statement...

Thanks, Dick!

Jackson County issued 32 permits in November, while Johnson and Wyandotte counties issued 63 and four, respectively.
Although the metro area’s two largest counties — Jackson and Johnson — have had a stronger year to date in residential permits, those gains have been wiped out by stagnant or declining areas throughout most of the rest of the market...

One unanswered question in the discussion about the outlay of incentives going to VA West Properties LLC for the redevelopment of West Edge is what the taxing jurisdictions get out of it.

It seems from early discussions I’ve had that at least a couple of the taxing jurisdictions affected by the West Edge redevelopment are fairly pleased with the deal they’re getting...

 The Kansas City Council put its stamp of approval on a tax incentive package to bolster completion of the long-stalled West Edge project, the Kansas City Business Journal reports.
The incentives are worth about $30.7 million collectively, not including about $7.5 million in tax credits that Missouri will chip in. The project near the Country Club Plaza had sat empty and open to the elements during its former developer’s bankruptcy, making its redevelopment a costly proposition.
Polsinelli Shughart PC will become the primary office tenant in late 2013.

Corbin Park, which got a new owner on Nov. 29, now has a new name — Aspen Square.
The stalled Overland Park retail development’s moniker is after its new owner, Aspen Square Inc.
Mike Schlup, owner of Aspen Square, closed on his acquisition of the 1.1 million-square-foot retail center at 135th Street and Metcalf Avenue on Nov. 29.
Schlup was the high bidder on the project at a bankruptcy auction in October. His company has hired Copaken Brooks as a development consultant.
“I met with a number of firms about assisting me in the development of this property and ultimately chose Copaken Brooks because of their longstanding relationship with Overland Park, their retail development experience and their history with this project,” Schlup said in a written statement...

The tax cut extension has broad support, but Congress has gotten stuck over how to implement it.
Obama said the bigger question of how to bring the nation back to “growth and prosperity; balance and fairness” has caused heated debate, protests and political movements, but it’s more than a political debate...
