Meeting Room Ceiling
The ceiling is finished in the meeting room. All of the trim is up except for the sloped ceiling behind the desk area. All of the chairs have been moved back in the room, the only thing that has not been done is the hanging of the pictures.

Lithium battery in Volt and other hybrids
Last year, the National Fire Protection Agency started a program of state level trainings focusing on how first responders can safely deal with the new problems posed by the Chevy Volt and other cars of similar design. The NFPA in a press release estimates that over 10,000 first responders have taken at least some training in dealing with the dangers of cars like the Volt. The danger to firefighters comes in two forms: the Volt’s battery and the construction of the car itself. “The lithium-ion used in modern electric cars is not like the old lead-acid batteries of the past. They are more powerful and, when damaged, the fluid inside can leak out, creating a short on the circuit boards that are used to control the batteries,” industry expert Gary Howell of Howell Automotive said. This is misleading. If a battery is vented to the atmosphere, case broken, it will spontaneously burst into fire. Lithium + oxygen = FIRE
