Fashion Flexible - Flex your Fashion
Earlier this year we saw comfortable, athletically-inspired styles begin to influence fashion in a new (and very welcome) way. Beginning with the re-emergence of the humble grey sweatshirt, this trend has now extended to luxurious running shoes and sweatpants that were definitely not created with trips to the gym in mind. As the weather gets cooler, it's time to embrace the sweatshirt in a more feminine silhouette: the "sweatshirt dress" has the same versatility as our long-standing fall favourite, the sweater dress, but with even more comfort and casual-chic appeal. Crafted from cotton and jersey blends in neutral grey shades, these pieces can be worn alone or layered when the weather gets frosty.
Montreal designer Encantados specializes in locally-made dresses and tunics that are as comfortable as a sweatshirt while still being perfectly form -fitting and sexy. Their dresses also come with adorable cold-weather appropriate details like hoods, and deep pockets for when you forget your gloves. Their "Monaco" dress provides a more relaxed silhouette. You could easily transition the bright pastel button-ups of spring and summer into your fall wardrobe by layering them under this roomy piece; the exposed collar would add extra detail without overwhelming the look.
With one of these dresses as a simple and functional base, the styling possibilities are endless. Try a pair of colourful cotton, wool or merino-blend tights in jewel tones from B. Ella, or wrap up in one of Jennifer Glasgow Design's cozy woven circle scarves to add texture and brightness to your ensemble.
If you're looking for the versatility of separates, the knit skirt from local designer Atelier B offers an alternative to dresses in soft, go-with-anything grey wool. The "Asha" open cardigan from Jennifer Glasgow Design combines the casual ease of black and grey cotton jersey with an elegantly draped fit.
These versatile pieces will definitely get you through the season in fashionable comfort. However, on dark and cloudy days when you want to leave the house in something totally eye-catching and unique, we've also got you covered! Montreal-based designer Les Enfants Sauvages continues to dazzle with new dresses that combine unexpected fabrics in beautiful ways. The "Moon Colibri" dress is crafted using soft navy corduroy and silver-printed fabric sourced from Ghana. The dramatic shades combine with longer sleeves and a nipped-in waist for a look that is dark, mysterious - and toasty warm. The other dresses in their collection come in an array of lush colours and patterns that glow like freshly fallen leaves.
Are there any other cool-weather staples you'll be looking for this fall? Do you like to keep it casual and neutral or do you prefer to layer with lots of colour and texture?

Imagine waking up one morning to find yourself surrounded by a swat team of thousands about to storm your house. It happened to Elisha and his servant. One morning the servant wakes up and figures he'll get some coffee going then read the morning papyrus. But as he looks out the kitchen window, he sees the glint of sun on spearhead. They're surrounded by the great Syrian army, whose assignment is to take out Elisha. A stab of fear pierces the servant's heart.
"How's that coffee coming?" asks Elisha as he stumbles into the kitchen in his bathrobe. "I hope it's good and strong. Why are you just standing there with your mouth open? What's wrong, did you spill the coffee? Or did you accidentally serve me Maxwell House? Come on, why the terrified look?"
The servant stammers, ""Alas, my master! What shall we do?" (They said "Alas" a lot back then. It basically means "Yikes" or "Aaaaaargh").
"Do about what?", says Elisha as he slowly pours his coffee, squinting out the kitchen window. "Ahhh, it's those pesky Syrians again. Hey, where'd you put the Sweet 'n Low?"
The servant whines, "How can you think about Sweet 'n Low at a time like this? Master, Alas, alas, alas! We're cooked – dead meat – Syrian fodder."
Elisha puts a scoop of sweetener into his steaming mug, blows across the top, then takes a careful sip. Then he says, "Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
The servant runs again to the back window, looking left and right. He doesn't see anything except Syrian banners, spears, chariots, and campfires. "Pardon me master, and I might add one more 'alas,' but, where might be 'those who are with us?'"
Elisha says, "How is a man supposed to enjoy his morning coffee with all these questions, boy?" Then Elijah prays, "O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see."
"So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha." (2 Kings 6:17).
"Now, boy," says Elisha, "can I please drink my coffee?"

My second visit I found the Sturgeon Bay Pierhead lighthouse in the midst of a snowy blowy storm.It hadn't yet started blowing so hard that the jetty was ice covered so that I could walk out to the end for the pictures. But look closely, you can see the blowing snow, blowing nearly sideways. The next day I wouldn't be so lucky, there would be more ice from this storm. I spent quite awhile trying to get pictures from this vantage point because I wanted to get a picture while the beacon light was on in the picture AND when I wasn't being blown sideways myself! Plus I figured I had come all this way to get the stormy picture so if one picture was good, 100 would be better. It was only my freezing fingers and the fall of darkness that drove me...
WATERMARKS WILL NOT APPEAR ON PRINTS. My twin loves of photography and travel emerged early in life. I remember being enchanted by rare trips to an airport to meet an arriving flight, and equally enchanted by a train trip on the California Zephyr from Denver to Salt Lake City. Clearly, I wanted to go places! On these trips I had my trusty Kodak Instamatic camera, with those funky flash cubes! But almost as soon as I could, I was out traveling on my own! Luckily this coincided with an interest in 35 mm photography which I learned on my own and from friends. I can remember taking dozens of rolls of film on every trip...black and white and color in every ISO I thought I'd need! Fast forward to 2008 after multiple academic...

NEW YORK (AP) Ś NBC says 80-year-old Willard Scott has tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend.
The veteran ōTodayö show personality and Paris Keena were wed Tuesday in Fort Myers, Fla. They have been together for about 11 years, ōTodayö host Matt Lauer said in sharing the news on Wednesday morningÆs telecast.
The jovial Scott has been a part of ōTodayö since 1980.
Lauer framed the announcement as ōanother surprise weddingö in the ōTodayö family.
Last month, co-anchor Savannah Guthrie made an on-the-air announcement of her marriage to communications strategist Mike Feldman two days earlier. She also told viewers she was four months pregnant.

November 22, 2014
SAO PAULO (AP) - Law enforcement officials say protesters beat up a police colonel and stole his service pistol and radio during a Friday night demonstration demanding lower public transportation fares in Brazil's largest city.
The Sao Paulo state police department said in a statement posted Saturday on its website that the demonstration turned violent when so-called Black Bloc anarchists shattered store windows and destroyed ATM machines, turnstiles and other installations at one of the city's biggest bus terminals.
The statement said about a dozen protesters attacked Col. Reynaldo Rossi, knocked him to the ground and broke his collarbone.
Police have not recovered Rossi's .40-caliber pistol or his radio.
Anger over the cost of poor public transportation services has helped fuel massive protests that have hit several cities since June.

This combination has resulted in pain free walking and standing.

Same-store sales at Good Times Restaurants Inc. were up 7.9 percent in March, on top of last year's 8.6 percent increase. This marks the Colorado-based chain's 20th consecutive month of same-store sales increases.
For the second quarter ended March 31, sales jumped 7.3 percent.
President and CEO Boyd Hoback attributes the growth to product initiatives and an increased focus on store-level communications.
"While March was unseasonably warm in Colorado and it helped boost our sales, we are particularly gratified to see continued sales growth without the benefit of any broadcast media in the second quarter," he said.
The chain will bring back its Cheech and Chong radio ads in late April, and also will introduce a new 5280 Lifestyle Menu with what Hoback calls "some really fun and funny ads," with the anticipation of growing transactions and average checks.
The company also reported that it has completed its first remodel of one restaurant and plans to reimage several more during fiscal 2012 and 2013 after some refinement of the design elements.
"The initial results from a relatively inexpensive exterior reimaging have been very positive, with a potential payback of less than a year. We are working on refining and optimizing each design element to apply to most of our restaurants over the rest of this year and next year to gain further consistency and brand image across the market, particularly in older stores," Hoback said.
The reimaging includes:
Good Times operates and franchises 43 restaurants, primarily in Colorado.

A new report indicates that 70 percent of Americans are searching for greener products, but how do claims, certifications, and labels truly affect consumer behavior?
A kangaroo-inspired wall clock, a solid-wood sideboard, and reclaimed paneling put a fresh spin on interior wood furnishings and finishes.
On view at the annual sustainable design event in New Orleans this year will be Web-enabled home technology, material-disclosure documentation, and bespoke thermal envelopes.
Scientists in Italy and Sweden believe plastic can be recycled more efficiently by using bacterial cultures and fungi strains to break down PVC, polystyrene, polypropylene, and polyethylene.
These environmentally friendly finishes and systems promote daylighting, the use of recycled materials, and sound dampening.
An award-winning product eliminates the plastic bottle from portable water, but it may prove too delicate—and too strange—to solve the bottle waste problem.
Metal foams, which are used primarily for automotive and orthopedic applications, can now be made entirely from discarded aluminum cans, making the ultralight material even more resourceful.
If sustainable design had an attractive spokesmodel, it would be reclaimed materials. Besides conserving resources and reducing waste, they give projects the patina of a past life.
Scrap tires are gold mines for Ecore, which repurposes reclaimed rubber into building and flooring products in four steps.
About 80 percent of the 300 million tires discarded in the U.S. each year is diverted from landfills and turned into everything from fuel to backfill. But the potential of scrap rubber can stretch even further.

Earth's Magnetic Field Teacher Resources
Find Earth's Magnetic Field educational ideas and activities
Showing 1 - 20 of 420 resources
Where is the True North Pole?
Do you believe in Santa Clause? Or a more practical question might be to ask if you believe in the location of the North Pole. Because of the convection currents in Earth's out core, the magnetic north pole drifts about 55 km per year. As an enrichment when covering Earth's structure, you could assign this as homework and then incorporate a discussion into your class the next day.
4 mins 7th - 12th Science
Fall 2004 Midterm Exam #2 - Electricity and Magnetism
Written for a college physics course, this midterm examination deals with electric and magnetic fields. When taking this test, learners answer multiple choice questions, solve problems, and analyze a variety of attractive diagrams. Because it was designed for a general physics college course, it would also be appropriate to administer to your high school advanced placement physics classes.
11th - Higher Ed Science
Activity: Slinkies and Magnetic Fields
Your advanced physics class will appreciate this lesson plan in which they use magnetic field sensors to determine the relationship between the number of turns per meter of a solenoid and the magnetic field produced. The materials for this lesson plan are costly and ample time is required to prepare for the lesson plan.
10th - 12th Science
Applications of the Pythagorean Theorem - Magnetism
Middle and high schoolers use the Pythagorean Theorem to complete a table showing with the magnetic field strengths in given cities. They find the average value of the Earth's magnetic field and plot one of the three-dimensional values that make up the magnetic field on a map to observe any patterns.
8th - 12th Science
Terrabagga Activity Using a Magnetometer
Clever! Earth science learners construct a model of a planet containing a magnetic core. The planet, Terrabagga, is made out of a paper grocery bag, magnets, a dead D battery, and rubber bands. Pictures of each step of the construction process are included.
5th - 12th Science
Magnetic Fields and Forces Homework/Electromagnetic Induction Homework
Here are two electromagnetism homework assignments rolled into one. The first eight practice problems deal with the magnetic field and magnetic force exerted by current-carrying wires. The second set of seven problems are specific to electromagnetic induction.
9th - 12th Science
Solar Particles and Earth's Magnetic Field
If you need a visual demonstration of Earth's magnetic field and how it shields us from solar wind, this will meet your need. Although it is short, it includes a variety of computer animations and footage, and more than one narrator leads us through the footage.
2 mins 6th - 12th Science
Magnetic Storm
Students brainstorm on what they believe causes the Earth's magnetic field. After watching a video, they discuss how the magnetic field is shifting and losing strength. To end the lesson, they work together to test the magnetic field with different types of magnets.
6th - 12th Science
Magnetic Fields and Bermuda Triangles
Students map magnetic fields of a magnet using a compass and predict where fields cancel each other to create 'Bermuda Triangles'. In this magnetism lesson, students use a compass to map the magnetic field of a magnet. They explain how magnetic fields can combine and cancel each other.
8th - 12th Science
Magnetic Field Activities
Students explore the idea of magnetic field through investigations of magnetic fields as produced by various common magnetic materials and direct currents. They study the vector nature of fields, the ubiquity of field sources in the environment, and visualize such fields as 3-dimensional entities.
9th - 12th Science
Is the Earth Preparing to Flip?
In this Earth's magnetic poles worksheet, students read about the changes observed in Earth's magnetic field and the possible geomagnetic reversal of the north and south magnetic poles. Students answer 5 questions about the reading and Earth's magnetic poles and polarity.
7th - 10th Science
A Problem in Satellite Synchrony
In this satellite synchrony worksheet, students use a spreadsheet or Least Common Multiples to solve 4 problems related to the satellite orbits, orbital periods and their synchronicity. Students determine when the satellites launched in space at different distances to the Earth's magnetic field will line up again given their orbital periods.
8th - 10th Math

JACKSON COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A woman is in critical condition after she was hit and dragged by a truck.
Jackson County Sheriff Tony Boggs tells WSAZ.com, Jillian Sayre got into a fight with Mary Hart at Wilding Acres Mobile Home Park in Silverton on Friday night.
Boggs says Sayre started ramming a truck with two adults and two kids inside.
In the process, Boggs says, Sayre hit Hart and dragged her 40 feet.
However, witnesses say the situation then got worse.
"The lady had put the vehicle in reverse and backed up over the lady again," said William Stalnaker, a witness.
Bystanders frantically tried to stop the vehicle by removing the keys or killing the engine. After going 20 feet more feet, they were able to stop Sayre.
Boggs says an 18-year-old and two kids were in Sayre's truck at the time of the attack.
Hart was flown to the hospital where her son says she is recovering.
"The whole left side of her body is bruised up. her left lung is partially collapsed, and she has a broken leg," said Hart's son, who didn't want to be identified.
"It could have killed her," said Stalnaker.
Sayre was arrested and charged with malicious wounding and four counts of child neglect.

I was a £350 a year clerk at the time. Each family set out in quite precise detail its weekly or monthly budgets, and I remember it was interesting to see that no family's budget, even with the higher salaries, contained spare cash with which to accumulate capital.
I wonder whether the offensively high salaries of the heads of the privatised utilities are really only the equivalent of the £2,500 of 1954 and mainly spent on routine items; and are not, as might seem to be the case, sufficient upon which to base new financial dynasties.
Yours faithfully,
David Turner

Wilkinsburg CDC receives $350,000 grant for revitalization efforts
Wednesday, February 01, 2012
Redevelopment efforts in
have been given another boost. The Wilkinsburg Community Development Corporation
has received renewed funding from TriState Capital Bank, as part of the Neighborhood Partnership Program.
The $350,000 additional funding is the third installment of a six-year commitment to the WCDC to assist in business district revitalization, as well as affordable housing, crime prevention, green initiatives, and youth engagement.
WCDC Executive Director Tracey Evans says this grant allows her organization to work towards its mission, and to maintain its prominent storefront location on Penn Avenue.
The grant gives funding to the WCDC through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Community and Economic Development's (DCED) Neighborhood Partnership Program (NPP).
Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation will receive a portion of these funds as part of a collaborative redevelopment initiative in the Hamnett Place neighborhood of Wilkinsburg, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
PHLF has invested more than $11 million in that neighborhood, including the renovation and sale of
seven historic homes
, and the two-building, 27-unit Crescent Apartments development.
The homes and apartments are made available to low and moderate income individuals and families, and is funded in part by the Allegheny Foundation, and the Allegheny County Department of Economic Development.
In addition to development work, PHLF will use this funding to support programing at the Landmarks Housing Resource Center, where it encourages and educates do-it-yourselfers to restore and maintain homes, and improve energy efficiency.
This coming October, the Borough of Wilkinsburg will celebrate 125 years. Evans says her organization is partnering with the mayor, borough, and various volunteer community groups in support of those anniversary activities.

More new restaurants coming to Market Square; Bluebird Kitchen to open in March
Wednesday, February 01, 2012
The new restaurants in Market Square just keep coming. Several eagerly awaited openings are almost ready, as Vallozzi's and Bluebird Kitchen put finishing touches on interiors and menus, and several restaurants have already celebrated grand openings.
Bluebird Kitchen
, which in August became the final tenant to complete the Market Square Place redevelopment, is hoping to have construction finished and a soft opening by early March.
Owner Liz Moore-Pessaro says Bluebird Kitchen aims to offer high-quality, quick-service food for people working Downtown. The cafe will offer breakfast and lunch, and a full-service coffee and espresso bar, featuring direct-sourced, Counter Culture beans.
Moore-Pessaro says Chef Steven Thompson will lead the kitchen, with a lunch menu that includes soups, salads, sandwiches, and hot plates like quiche, and corned beef and potato hash. Chef Thompson has worked for many years in Pittsburgh, notably at Nine on Nine, Lucca, and Hyeholde.
Bluebird Kitchen will be open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
La Cucina Flegrea
, formerly of Squirrel Hill, opened last fall at its new location in Market Square. Located in the former Costanzo's space (near Bella Sera), La Cucina Flegrea is open for lunch and dinner six days a week, serving regional Italian cuisine.
Owner Anna Fevola says she wanted to relocate to a great lunch location, and thought there was no better place than Downtown and Market Square.
Of the public space's recent renovations, Fevola says, "It looks so nice now, sort of a European look."
Noodles & Company, a Denver-based chain noodle shop, opened in the square last month. And last fall, the popular Mt. Lebanon restaurant
Il Pizzaiolo
announced they would be bringing a similar Neapolitan pizza concept to the former Lubin and Smalley flower shop next to Starbucks.
, the 33-year old Greensburg Italian restaurant, is nearing completion of its Fifth Avenue space, and has begun hiring. Julian Vallozzi says he hopes to have the restaurant open within four weeks.
In addition to the main space, an adjacent take-out-only section, Mattiniero, will serve breakfast and lunch, offering sweet and savory pastries, and made-to-order sandwiches and salads.

A redevelopment effort of the P & LE Railroad site in McKees Rocks has been awarded over $4 million in additional funding. A combination of grants and loans, these funds will allow for additional property acquisition, site preparation, and construction of a storm water management system that is part of a the public-private partnership.
County Executive Rich Fitzgerald and State Senator Wayne Fontana announced the award on Monday. In his statement, Fitzgerald praised public officials and developer Trinity Commercial Development, LLC, for their cooperation.
"Not only does this project reclaim a former brownfield site, it is also expected to generate approximately 1,172 new jobs in the community," Fitzgerald said. "This will be a great boon to McKees Rocks and the surrounding community."
McKees Rocks Borough was awarded a $984,795 Penn Works grant for construction of the storm water management system it is building in partnership with Trinity Commercial. And Greenville Commercial Properties, LP, a subsidiary of Trintiy Commercial, was awarded a $3,139,500 Business In Our Sites loan through the Commonwealth Finance Authority.
Craig Rippole, president of Trinity Commercial Development, says this development would never have been possible without the help of so many government agencies.
"It's a case study in inter-governmental cooperation," Rippole says. "Everybody played their role to get us this far."
Last summer, the project was awarded a $600,000 environmental assessment grant from the EPA in order to assist with brownfield remediation efforts.
Trinity Commercial plans to create a flex business park on the site, with new construction and adaptive reuse of existing structures. With the newly awarded funds, the developer plans to acquire three adjacent parcels, bringing the total development site to 52 acres.

Cure restaurant opens in Upper Lawrenceville; Wild Purveyors soon to follow
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
The latest restaurant to open in Upper Lawrenceville is
, a project of Chef Justin Severino. Severino, an accomplished chef who has worked in kitchens throughout California, is best known in Pittsburgh as the former Executive Chef of Elements Cuisine in Downtown.
Cure is an intimate, neighborhood restaurant with a small menu, offering what it describes as "local urban Mediterranean" cuisine.
While living in Santa Cruz, California, Severino opened a small charcuterie shop called Severino's Community Butcher, where he produced traditional cuts of pork using locally-sourced whole hogs.
Severino brings much of that previous experience to Cure, and he remains committed to ethical farming practices and humane animal husbandry. In addition to regular dinner service, Severino even plans to host hog butchering classes, as well as traditional wine tasting events.
The menu features plates such as sunchoke soup, with venison chorizo, kale, goat cheese, and crispy shallots; a cassoulet with boudin blanc, duck, smoked chicken, and pork belly; and beef cheeks with apple cider, gnocchi, mushrooms, and a celery root puree.
And on the same block,
Wild Purveyors
plans to open their storefront location at 5308 Butler Street in March.
Brothers Cavan and Tom Patterson are best known among chefs, as wholesalers of foraged food and fresh, local produce. But when the new shop opens, those small-production items and elusive wild goods will now be available to the general public.
The new shop will offer local, organic produce, cheese from 20 different Pennsylvania creameries, a wide range of local meats, and, of course, seasonal wild edibles, including morel, chanterelle, and black trumpet mushrooms, wild watercress, elderberries, raspberries, ramps, and pawpaws.
"We'll be offering everything that's coming up in abundance," Cavan Patterson says.
In addition to quality sourced goods, Wild Purveyors plans to sell house-made items such as sauerkraut and kimchi, and to host wine, beer, and cheese pairing events on Friday and Saturday evenings.
The shop will maintain a rustic character, making use of reclaimed barn wood and butcher block counters. Patterson says the store will remain open late, until 9 p.m., six days a week.

Three projects are filling vacant lots and empty storefronts in the Central Northside
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
In 2010 the Central Northside Neighborhood Committee (CNNC) released their vision for the community: to transform vacant lots and empty storefronts by filling them with thriving individuals, commerce, and families of all kinds. Three projects on Federal Street are helping that organization meet its ambitious goal.
The latest phase of the Federal Hill housing development is near complete, and the first tenants have already moved in. The $15 million initiative is a collaboration between S & A Homes, CNNC, and the URA. The current phase brings 12 new townhomes to the intersection of Alpine and Federal Streets. Houses range in seize between 1,400 to 2,300-square-feet, and all but two are sold.
Closer to North Avenue, developer Bill Barron has begun renovating the former Toula's restaurant building at 1108 Federal Street. This is his third project on the same block, where Barron has transformed two other dilapidated buildings into successful spaces for commerce.
Barron's previous two renovations culminated in leases with Crazy Mocha and the
Deli on North
, and two apartments, developments that have greatly improved this important intersection and gateway to the Central Northside.
And for the current project on Federal, Barron already has a tenant lined-up: Derek Burnell, co-owner of Round Corner Cantina, is planning a take-out Mexican restaurant for the first floor. Remodeling work is scheduled to be complete by early summer, and the second floor will be renovated as a one-bedroom apartment.
And finally, stabilization work has begun on two Federal Street properties in the Garden Theater block, the long-awaited redevelopment project that supporters hope will be a cornerstone for the neighborhood.
As reported in November
of last year, developer Wayne Zukin has letters of intent from three Pittsburgh restaurants to develop new entertainment concepts for the Northside neighborhood.
Chris D'Addario, president of CNNC, says that people are resoundingly happy to see working begin on that block.
"To know that that anchor of our neighborhood is going to be an area that's going to draw people, instead of scare people, is quite exciting to all that live here," D'Addario says.

Tree Pittsburgh at work on city's first Urban Forest Master Plan
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
Although master plans in Pittsburgh guide transportation, historic preservation, and open space policy, the city has never had any such comprehensive plan addressing trees. But that could change soon
Tree Pittsburgh
works to develop Pittsburgh's first ever Urban Forest Master Plan (UFMP).
The organization has been leading this planning effort for over a year, and is now inviting the public to provide detailed input for creating a shared vision for "protecting, growing and maintaining the City's urban forest."
Danielle Crumrine, executive director of Tree Pittsburgh, says the intent is to have the plan codified and adopted by City Council. She believes the UFMP could be a useful tool in the City's PLANPGH effort.
"We've done a lot of research, so we understand the size and condition of our urban forest," Crumrine says. "This is all valuable data that could be used in any planning effort, including the City's OPENSPACE plan."
But this information would not only be useful to City and County agencies. Tree Pittsburgh hopes city residents and private developers will benefit from the research as well.
According to Tree Pittsburgh's research, private citizens own a majority of the Pittsburgh urban forest. Crumrine says this might come as a surprise because of the numerous hillsides covered in trees, plentiful parks, and the many newly planted street trees.
And while that is all true--Tree Pittsburgh has planted over 10,000 trees in the city--Crumrine says the future of Pittsburgh's tree canopy will indeed come down to the engagement of private citizens.
The plan's core focus areas are aimed to address growing environmental challenges; create a coordinated vision for the urban forest; develop baseline metrics and clear goals; cultivate long-term advocates and civic participation; and efficiency with city-wide partners.
The first of four public meetings were held earlier this week in the East End and Northside. A third meeting will be held tonight beginning at 5:30p.m., at the WYEP Community Broadcast Center, 67 Bedford Square, South Side. On February 13th, a fourth meeting will be held at the Banksville Park Shelter, Banksville Park, at 5:30p.m.

Sound Cat Records opens in Bloomfield
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
As one record store exits, another enters.
Sound Cat Records
has opened in Bloomfield, picking up the reins from neighborhood-favorite Paul's CDs. Sound Cat Records sells new and used vinyl records, and CDs, from jazz, blues, and funk, to rock, pop, punk, and metal.
Sound Cat is owned by Karl Hendricks, who has worked at Paul's for the past 18 years, and at Jim's Records in the same location before that.
Hendricks is well aware of the difficulties facing brick-and-mortar music shops in this digital age of instant streaming, and both legal and illegal downloading. But he's also confident in the value local businesses add to the community.
Hendricks says shops of all kinds, "make up the fabric of our existence outside of screens," and if they were to go away, there would be a tremendous loss.
"I think people recognize that…[and] that's why more and more young people are coming in, because they don't want to live their lives strictly on screens."
Michael Seamans is co-owner of
Mind Cure Records
in Polish Hill. His store has been open just under two years, and he says it's a strong, loyal customer base which keeps Mind Cure in business. Seamans acknowledges there's been a major resurgence in collecting records, especially among young people, and says it's a reaction to digital media in general.
Seamans says in these times operating a records shop is not unlike owning a used bookstore or antique shop.
"My main business is more of a collectors market," Seamans says. "And that doesn't even have to mean high-end--it's just people that really want to have vinyl records."
At Sound Cat, Hendricks says it's exciting to have younger people interested in vinyl, alongside customers who have shopped at Paul's CD and Jim's Records for over 20 years.
"It's interesting to see a format go though a lot of changes over the past couple decades, but it's still hanging in there even with all the changes in technology," Hendricks says. "People of all ages and all demographics are still buying music."

Bar Marco now open in the Strip, European-style wine bar and restaurant
Wednesday, January 18, 2012
Bar Marco
has opened in the Strip District after nearly 6 months of remodeling work in the former No. 7 Engine Co. building. The historic space has been transformed into a European-style wine bar and restaurant, with an emphasis on communal dining and a menu designed for sharing.
Bobby Fry, one of four co-owners, says the remodeling was done to bring the space back to its original beauty. Floor tiles have been removed, dry-wall torn down to reveal classic subway tile, and a drop ceiling has given way to an original tin installation from 1905.
The first floor's symmetrical design is intended to encourage conversation among strangers, and create a sense of comfort. A large bar seats five to six, and opposite, a drink rail lines the window facing Penn Avenue. In between are three large communal tables, with combined seating capacity at 40. All furniture was designed by co-owner Michael Kreha, and built in-house, with welding provided by Gray's Welding of Braddock, PA.
Bar Marco is the first dining project of four childhood friends--Justin Steel, Kevin Cox, Fry and Kreha. Each left various professional careers, coalescing in Pittsburgh around a shared passion for food and drink.
The menu, which Fry describes as European bar food, will change on a regular basis, but recently featured "snack" plates like patatas bravas, arancini, frico, and a duck BLT; and large entrees, also meant for sharing, such as chicken enchiladas, baked caponata, and ribeye with chimichurri.
Bar Marco offers a range of small production wines, and inventive mixed drinks, such as a tequila gimlet featuring house-made lime cordial, and the Bar Marco Manhattan, made with orange bitters.
The second floor, while still a work in progress, is used as an art gallery and private event space.
Bar Marco opens at 5 p.m. and is open late, serving their full menu until 2 a.m., Wednesday through Saturday. 2216 Penn Avenue, Strip District. 724-875-2738.

Pittsburgh Riverhounds to build soccer stadium at Station Square
Wednesday, January 18, 2012
With the announcement of a new stadium to be built at Station Square, professional soccer will soon have a home in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh Riverhounds
announced plans last week to build a $7 million, 3,500-seat multi-sport stadium in Station Square. The stadium will overlook the Monongahela River, and north to the city's other two riverfront stadiums, Heinz Field and PNC Park.
CEO Jason Kutney says this development is an opportunity for the Riverhounds to be considered a "real" franchise, located in the same area as Pittsburgh's other professional teams.
"Our focus really is to make this the most accessible downtown stadium, where we're looking to get year-round usage," Kutney says.
In addition to the Riverhounds, the stadium is planned to be home to a number of local schools and colleges, the Pittsburgh Passion women's football team, and a few rugby clubs. And in wintertime hockey rinks will be installed on top of the turf.
Although they've been in the region for several years, the Riverhounds have spent the past five years playing at the Chartiers Valley High School. The Riverhounds participate in the United Soccer League (USL), which is recognized as the second highest level of soccer, just below the top-tier Major League Soccer (MLS) league.
The Riverhounds mascot's name, AMO, stands for the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers, and the new stadium will be located near the confluence of those three rivers.
"It is pretty cool to see that the Riverhounds are finally going to be in Pittsburgh, and the name of the mascot, AMO, will finally make sense," Kutney says.

Wild Stuff pop-up vintage sale, Saturdays only in Lawrenceville
Wednesday, January 18, 2012
(Note: Due to a technical glitch, this story didn't appear on the home page last week so we are running it again this week,)
Wild Stuff, a new pop-up vintage sale, opened in Lawrenceville on Saturday. A partnership between Wildcard, Botero Development, and Zombo Gallery, the Saturday-only event features a range of items including original art, clothing, tiki glasses, vintage typewriters, scavenged building materials, and furniture.
Brian Mendelssohn, of
Botero Development
, says he and his fellow collaborators were brainstorming uses for the vacant storefront when they identified a common thread: basements, closets, and warehouses filled with vintage and historical items, and works of art.
Mendelssohn says because Botero Development acquires many historic buildings in Lawrenceville, he has accumulated a plethora of items, such as historic light fixtures, cast iron bath tubs, and other random building supplies, that are currently in demand.
"We want everything to go to a good home as opposed to throwing it away," Mendelssohn says.
hosts an annual vintage sale at their Lawrenceville boutique, but are able to display many more items in the Wild Stuff storefront. Since 2009 Wildcard has sold the city's best in handmade goods, such as t-shirts, stationary, buttons, and greeting cards.
And although
Zombo Gallery
officially closed a year and a half ago, Zombo still has many works of art (offered here at lower prices), vintage musical instruments, plus tons of music and mixes from the Zombo's Record Party radio show.
Located at 4300 Butler Street in the former Arsenal Bank building, the sale will continue on Saturdays only, from 11a.m. to 7p.m., through March 31st.
Mendelssohn says a long-term tenant will take over the space after the final Wild Stuff sale.
And although billed as a Pop-Up Vintage Sale, Wild Stuff is not to be confused with
Project Pop-Up: Downtown
, an initiative between the Mayor and the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership which is transforming vacant storefronts into active art installations, stores, and eateries.

CMU awarded $3.5 million grant to develop technologies for transportation safety and efficiency
Wednesday, January 18, 2012
Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pennsylvania have been awarded a $3.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation in order to develop technologies that will make transportation safer and more efficient.
The grant, titled Technologies for Safe and Efficient Transportation (T-SET), will establish the collaboration between the two universities as a University Transportation Center.
The grant was announced last week by Senator Bob Casey.
"I'm pleased that two of Pennsylvania's finest research institutions will help tackle the nation's transportation problems by finding ways to improve safety, upgrade infrastructure and ensure that the best new technologies come from American companies," Senator Casey said in a statement.
CMU President Dr. Jared Cohon said the award will allow the two universities to bring to bear a great wealth of computational technology talent to Pennsylvania's and the nation's transportation sector.
"Further, it will pave the way for new career paths in intelligent transportation that will have a transformative impact on the transportation industry," he said.
Get There PGH is advancing a plan to bring Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) to Pittsburgh, a mode of transportation that has emerged in recent years in part due to advances made in efficiency technologies.
Court Gould, executive director of Sustainable Pittsburgh, says his organization is interested in BRT because it utilizes such technological improvements, allowing for increased transit access, reduced congestion, and greater service to riders.
Gould believes the grant will allow CMU to continue work it has already begun, citing the earlier development of an iPhone app by the university, which allows riders to track busses with real-time information.
Gould says matching CMU's information technology prowess with the needs of transportation efficiency in the region is a win for the Pittsburgh area.

Get There PGH advancing bus rapid transit, to hold public information meeting Thursday
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) could someday link Downtown Pittsburgh and Oakland, greatly improving the connection between these two important centers of commerce and employment.
Get There PGH
, a partnership of over 30 neighborhood organizations, is advancing a plan for this transit initiative, and will host an informational public meeting throughout the day on Thursday, January 12th.
Of the 30-plus organizations, Sustainable Pittsburgh is acting as a convener in bringing the exploration of BRT to the community.
Executive Director Court Gould says this evaluation of BRT is at the earliest stage, and Get There PGH seeks to learn whether it fits with community visions and needs, and how it could facilitate not only mobility, but prosperity, public health, and revitalization, among other issues.
"The stakeholders…are viewing the bus rapid transit as part of a larger community vision interest and need, not as an isolated transportation project," Gould says.
BRT is a form of bus transit that operates more similar to a rail system, with dedicated stations, route priority, and platform fare collection, among other efficiency measures. And while BRT shares design principals with rail transit, it is also far less expensive to implement.
An Alternatives Analysis and Environmental Assessment, to determine whether BRT would work in Pittsburgh, began last year. The upcoming public information session is the first in a series as part of that study.
Supporters of BRT cite economic growth and neighborhood development along corridors as benefits of the transit mode, along with safer streets, and improved mobility for city residents and visitors.
Gould says BRT differs from the Port Authority's current East-West busways, noting rapid is a reference to efficiency of service and not high traveling speeds. He says the region's busways were innovative in their time, but that cities nationally and abroad have gone forward and applied those same attributes to on-street systems, rather than segregated facilities.
"So this would be Pittsburgh now coming full-circle to catching up with the trend that in some ways it was a pioneer of, but with a new twist," Gould says.
Among its stakeholders Get There PGH includes the City of Pittsburgh, Port Authority of Allegheny County, Allegheny Conference on Community Development, local universities, and Bike Pittsburgh.
The information sessions will be held tomorrow, during two sessions, 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the University of Pittsburgh Alumni Hall Ballroom, 4227 Fifth Ave. in Oakland.

URA home improvement loans made available to many, few income restrictions
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
Through a variety of home improvement loan programs, the URA is seeking to help as many people as possible in making repairs efficient and affordable.
Jenny Kohnfelder, manager of consumer programs, says one of the URA's goals is to offer homeowners programs they can use as soon as they've purchase a home.
Home Improvement Loan Program
, for example, has no equity requirements, meaning new homeowners can apply for that program the very next day, immediately after purchasing a home.
Through this program, homeowners are able to hire their own contractor, or even do the work themselves. If they chose the do-it-yourself route, the loan would only cover materials, not labor. The program has a 5.99% interest rate, and a $15,000 limit.
For the HIRP, there are income restrictions based on neighborhoods. But if a home is within a Target Neighborhood, no income restrictions apply.
Target Neighborhoods are determined based on Census and IRS data, Kohnfelder says.
"There are no income guidelines in those areas because we want to encourage people to move into these neighborhoods that are suffering a little bit," Kohnfelder says.
And if a homeowner does not meet the requirements for the HILP loan, Pennsylvania's
Keystone Renovation & Repair Program
addresses income restrictions, where household income can be as high as $98,550. The minimum loan amout is $2,500, and the maximum is $35,000. This program also requires little to no equity for eligibility.
Through the Keystone R&R program, the URA will provide technical assistance with rehabilitation work, finalize a write-up, and will arrange contractors to competitively bid on the work, if the homeowner does not already have one.
And the Pittsburgh Home Rehabilitation Program, which Kohnfelder says is perhaps the URA's best, offers a 0% interest rate. Although under that program, a two-family household income cannot exceed $41,000.
Kohnfelder says the URA offers these various programs so that as many people with different incomes can take part in home restoration.

James Street Gastropub and Speakeasy opens, Pittsburgh jazz standard revived
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
James Street Gastropub and Speakeasy
has opened in Deutschtown, evoking the spirit of a former Pittsburgh jazz hangout, while offering an updated menu of food and drinks.
Located at the intersection of Foreland and James Streets (just north of East Ohio Street), the large building was originally built for the Perry Homestead Loan and Trust Company in the 1800's. More recently, the Classical Revival-style structure has been home to a string of neighborhood restaurants and other quirky uses.
The first floor restaurant space, while repaired and renovated, appears much like it might have in years past: exposed brick, a handsome, dark-wood bar, and wooden booths. Autographed musician photographs line one wall, mementos inherited from the former jazz club once located here, the James Street Tavern.
The James Street Tavern was a beloved local venue and restaurant, serving Louisiana-style cuisine. Co-owners Adam Johnston and Lisa Saftner say when local musicians heard that "James Street" was back, they were overwhelmed with enthusiasm and support.
"I had no idea that there was such a huge jazz community in Pittsburgh," Saftner says.
James Street is already booked with jazz and blues three nights a week (Friday through Sunday) through May.
Performances are held in the "speakeasy" basement level, where bands take the stage in an intimate setting, at arm's length from seated patrons. Scheduled performers include the Boilermaker Jazz Band, Roger Humphries Quintet, and the Etta Cox & Al Dowe Band.
The Pittsburgh Jazz Society has also relocated their weekly Sunday Night Jazz series to the speakeasy. On January 15th, the Kevin Howard Quartet will take the stage at 6 p.m.
Johnston says the menu at James Street was designed to be as eclectic as this Northside neighborhood. That means everything wings and burgers, to Cajun oysters, short ribs, and chicken fried steak. There's also plenty of appetizers and small-plates to chose from, for sharing with friends during a set of live jazz.

East End Eden wellness collective opening in East Liberty
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
East End Eden, a new wellness center collective in East Liberty, will open January 20th, offering city residents another space to unwind, and recharge both the mind and body.
The 1,200 sq. ft. collective, located on the mezzanine level of the Liberty Bank building, is run by Emily Escalante, and a group of other independent practitioners of massage therapy, reiki, yoga, and other fields of wellness.
Escalante says the center, with extra-large windows, beautiful floors, and lots of natural light, has a kind of lounge feel, where participants could sit and enjoy tea before and after yoga classes, stretch, meditate, or other peaceful activities.
"It's kind of like hanging out in your friend's cool loft and getting well at the same time," she says.
During the January 20th opening, from 6 - 9 p.m., cocktails will be served, coupons and prizes will be given away, and those interested can meet the different wellness practitioners of the East End Eden collective.
On Tuesday, January 24th, the center will conduct a visioning workshop, where attendees can create a mental map of one's life and goals.
"If you visualize where you want to go, you can kind of create the life that you want to live," Escalante says.
And every Thursday morning, a yoga class will be given for stress management. Escalante says it's a very gentle, restorative class, intended to be more meditative than an intense workout.
Escalante is a graduate of the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy, and is experienced in Swedish massage, reiki levels 1 + 2, reflexology, hydrotherapy, and aromatherapy, among other types of massage.
East End Eden
is located at 6101 Penn Avenue, Suite M01, East Liberty. 412-361-4850.
