Cylon announces first US contract for energy management service

"Cylon Active Energy, the energy management division of Cylon, has announced its first contract win in the US following a trade mission with Enterprise Ireland.

The contract with the Raleigh Convention Centre in North Carolina will involve Cylon applying its cloud-based real-time energy management technology to centrally monitor and analyze the US facility’s energy consumption remotely from its energy bureau in Clonshaugh, Co Dublin.

Cylon’s engineers will also use the information to assess the building’s efficiency, identify areas for improvement and make recommendations on maximizing energy efficiency and delivering energy savings."

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 31 January - 1 February 2012

In today's dispatches, we have the deadline for the "findings of so-called fact" in the Georgia Birther Ballot Jihad. And once again Dr. Orly tries to break the wing nut barrier.

Miki Booth gives her unique spin on things. World Nut Daily's "expert" Herb Titus seems to think that God is a birther. Dr. Orly shows her usual love for ethics and morals. Sharon Meroni and the aptly named Gary Kreep want to change Illinois state law.

Dr. Orly shows the same regard to legal transcripts she does to the actual law. Swiftboat liar Jerome Corsi pulls some conspiracy nuggets out of his rear. A GOP committee member in Alabama with a history of racist comments comes up with a planned birther "White" Paper. Thomas MacLeran shows a decades-long pattern of paranoia. Floyd Brown continues to give his boss a reach-around.

With the help of Zeb Blanchard, Walter Fitzpatrick goes all Sovereign Citizen on Monroe County. Larry Sinclair's attorney wants Obama off the ballot so he can win the election with 13% of the vote. And Dean Haskins continues to rile up the birthers.
