Jackson reveals energy plan in Washington
President Shirley Ann Jackson revealed a new energy plan for the next U.S. president and Congress today in Washington, D.C.

The strategy, known as the 100-Day Energy Action Plan, was developed by the Council on Competitiveness, a nonpartisan group of corporate, labor, and university leaders. Jackson is vice chairwoman of the organization and co-chair of its Energy Security, Innovation and Sustainability Initiative.

The council began creating the 100-day plan more than a year ago with input from more than 200 chief executives, university presidents, union leaders and energy experts.

The plan offers solutions for providing affordable energy to businesses and individuals, producing domestic jobs, and protecting the environment.

Jackson has been speaking about energy issues on a regular basis around the world and also sits on the boards of directors of Marathon Oil Corp. and Public Service Enterprise Group, Inc.

TPD release info in hopes of catching man
Police, desperate to nab a man who sexually assaulted a woman on a city bike path last month, released a photograph Monday of the bicycle the man rode and abandoned at the scene.

A week ago, police released a composite sketch of a man who attacked the woman at 2:30 pm on August 30 on the bike path just south of 102nd Street, which has produced few leads.

The man apparently dumped the bike not far from the spot where he attacked the woman, according to Detective Sgt. David Dean.

He knocked her from her bicycle as he pedaled by on his own bike. The woman escaped and was able to summon police.

The bike is a red, white, and blue 20-inch Huffy Rock Ridge mountain-style bike.
