There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Georgia Tech School of Public Policy Associate Professor Daniel Matisoff was quoted in "Home Help: Dial Up Thermostat to Lower Energy Costs" in The St. Augustine Record, August 5.
Excerpt:
"When the weather is hot, keeping the house cool leads to added energy costs. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the highest energy consumption of the year is recorded in July, followed by August.
Summer is not over yet, but there are plenty of simple tips to reduce your dependence on traditional energy sources and cut costs."
