Jim Miraglia Retires
Jim Miraglia recently announced his retirement as of May 2013 from the City of Philadelphia's Department of Licenses and Inspections (L&I).
As countless electricians over those many years can attest, Jim exemplified the term "dedicated public servant." He listened carefully to the questions and concerns our industry constantly laid on his doorstep about electrical codes and safety. And then, like a good baseball umpire, he called the "balls and strikes."
We will miss Jim as he leaves L&I, and thank him for his exceptional service. And we wish him all of the best in his future endeavors. Congratulations, Jim!

Understanding the IBT
The 2008 National Electrical Code, in Section 250.94, requires the installation of an Intersystem Bonding Termination "external to enclosures at the service equipment and at the disconnecting means for any additional buildings or structures." At the time of a service installation, you must provide the IBT. Additionally, if you feed another structure at the same property, that structure must also have the IBT installed.

Dear Jack Beiter,
I was informed through my parents that I have been awarded this year's EAP Scholarship. I wanted to thank you and those involved with the selection committee in choosing me. Additionally, I wanted to inform you of my progress here at Rochester Institute of Technology.
Tomorrow, I will have finished my last final and second year in the Electrical/Mechanical Engineering Technology program. I have been enjoying it thoroughly so far and am looking forward to my remaining years here. I have been contemplating switching to the BS/MS accelerated program which includes Manufacturing and Systems Integration and will make my decision in the Fall. Lastly, I should begin my first co-op next January and will begin my search for employment opportunities over the next few months.
With regards,
Shaun Henry
Electrical/Mechanical Engineering Technology
