Modesto, CA (April 25, 2014) - Six new almond-related research studies will be presented next week in San Diego at the American Society of Nutrition (ASN)'s Scientific Sessions and Annual Meeting, held in conjunction with Experimental Biology 2014 (EB). The conference attracts an international audience of approximately 13,000 leading scientists specializing in various health disciplines.
The science presented will reveal new insights on the effects of almond consumption on overall diet quality and health status, abdominal adiposity, measures of appetite and satiety, and cardiovascular risk factors.
"Presenting new research to this audience of scientists and health professionals is critical to turning the findings into practical application and recommendations, said Dr. Karen Lapsley, Chief Science Officer for the Almond Board of California. "These results help to advance the evolution of our understanding of almonds' beneficial effects as part of a healthy diet." In a satellite session on Sunday, April 27 (1), researchers will explore the question, "Are Almonds an Optimal Snack?" a hot topic given that snacking has become a way of life for most Americans. In fact, 97% of Americans report eating at least one snack a day, with 40% consuming three to four snacks per day (2), so understanding and education about smart snacking is increasingly important.
The body of evidence that will be presented suggests snacking can be a weight-wise strategy, depending upon the foods consumed. The nutrient profile of almonds low on the glycemic index and providing a powerful nutrient package including hunger-fighting protein (6 g/oz), filling dietary fiber (4 g/oz), "good" monounsaturated fats (13 g/oz) (8), and important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E (7.4 mg/oz), magnesium (200 mg/oz) and potassium (77 mg/oz), makes them a satisfying, heart-smart (8) snack choice that can help support a healthy weight.
The research presented reflects the Almond Board of California's strong commitment to the advancement of nutrition science. Lapsley said, "To date, the California almond industry has invested over $15 million in nutrition research that has resulted in more than 100 papers published by internationally recognized scientists in peer review journals. The Almond Board of California is proud to present science at the elite level of Experimental Biology."

(8) Good news about almonds and heart health. Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces of most nuts, such as almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving on almonds (28g) has 13g of unsaturated fat and only 1g of saturated fat.
California Almonds are a natural, wholesome and quality food product, making almonds California's leading agricultural export in terms of value. The Almond Board of California promotes almonds through its research-based approach to all aspects of marketing, farming and production on behalf of the more than 6,000 California Almond growers and processors, many of whom are multi-generational family operations. Established in 1950 and based in Modesto, California, the Almond Board of California is a non-profit organization that administers a grower-enacted Federal Marketing Order under the supervision of the United States Department of Agriculture.

What Scarves to Wear and When
Not sure when to wear a certain scarf? There's a scarf for every season and every occasion if you know how to choose wisely. Scarves are most definitely the most useful fashion accessory a girl can own. They can be … Continue reading
Statement Scarf
Scarves are an essential accessory. Learn how to use a statement scarf to your advantage and liven up your look.
Scarves are an absolutely essential accessory to any woman's wardrobe. They come in handy in all seasons and there is a fabric and print to match any kind of weather, occasion, and overall ensemble. It is always a good idea to have more than one scarf on hand, and not only that, it is imperative that you have a little variety. If you're going to have more than one of anything, you should be sure that they are as different as possible, if not just a little bit. This way, these accessories can be worn to match any look you're going for and can truly maximize your wardrobe. Just like having that one statement bag, necklace, or shoe, having a statement scarf can be just as handy.
A statement scarf can be anything you want it to be. It can be a bold and bright color, a showy pattern or print, or even a special fabric or material. It all depends on your personal style as well as your current collection of scarves. If you generally have dark colors or opt for neutrals, then simply adding a light or otherwise eye-catching color to your repertoire will do nicely without going out of your fashion comfort zone. If you have a rainbow of these accessories already, then a print or a new material may be the option for you.
Bright colors can do a lot to accent an outfit and bring new life to it. If you're wearing an all dark, all neutral, or otherwise monochrome outfit, then a splash of color can make a world of difference. If you have a good mixture of color worked into your ensemble, then a print or pattern (think leopard print or a multicolored tribal or floral pattern) can break up your outfit while also adding dimension. A silk scarf or a piece that uses metallic fabric can really spruce up an outfit more simply. Even if you choose a neutral, like black or beige, choosing a scarf that is either shimmery, metallic, or even silk can make you look more glamorous without much added effort. The choice is up to you. Choosing an accessory has everything to do with your intended desired effect. For best results, or if you are simply indecisive, then getting a scarf in any of these options will work wonders for your wardrobe and will ensure that you are ready for anything.
You can find a great variety of scarves at Chicastic.

Scarves And Hats
We usually associate hats and scarves as necessities of winter and we often forget that the cold weather is really just a great excuse to show off more accessories and styles. Since we're limited to wearing a coat in the cold weather, hiding out outfits, hats and scarves can really make an outwear ensemble a true, thought-out outfit.
Aside from bundling up, layering is totally in, and scarves are key. They can be worn in an infinite number of ways and even worn as additional layered clothing, such as in a shawl, wrap-around or cowl. Even if you don't tie your scarf in a creative way, a basic infinity scarf or oblong scarf looks great when worn tucked inside a closed coat and are always in style. A bold bundle of chiffon, silk or even cotton can brighten your winter outerwear and turn it into an outfit instead of just a shield against the cold. Prints and patterns can make any simple coat pop, and even if you're wearing a bold winter jacket, a scarf will fit perfectly in the nook around to your neck and add some winter glam.
Hats also possess a wealth of possibility. The styles are endless! Most of us worry about hat hair and have other similar concerns when it comes to hats, but many hats, such as beanies and cloches, are totally acceptable to wear indoors as well, making these accessories part of a daily hairstyle instead of just an outdoor tool to stay warm. While we do wear hats to protect our heads, faces and especially our ears against the bitter air of the season, these styles are becoming more and more popular and can be worn with most outfits and are not just limited for use outdoors.
If you want to maximize your winter wardrobe, invest in several scarves (in a few different colors, prints and fabrics that suit your general style) and several hat styles that suit you and define different kinds of outfits in order to create as many combinations as possible. This also ensures that you have an accessory for any occasion, whether it is casual, professional or formal. When you hear the news telling you that a blizzard is headed your way or that temperatures are drastically dropping, know that you have chic options to stay warm that can maximize your indoor wardrobe as well as your outdoor ensembles. Chicastic has a great variety of scarves and hats that can make your winters fashion friendly.
Winter Fashion Accessories
When we think of winter accessories we usually tend to think of hats, scarves and gloves. While there are plenty of run-of-the-mill winter accessories made only to keep us warm, we often forget that they can be chic and stylish, too. Not only that, but there are some bits of jewelry that work best in winter that can add some glam to the wintry season.
Scarves are a great go-to winter accessory. They come in multitudes of styles, colors, prints, and fabrics and can be worn for any occasion if you accessorize correctly. A big, comfy knit infinity scarf always goes great with an over-sized sweater and leggings, while a silk scarf can still keep your neck warm when you're heading to work or a formal event. It's always good to have a small collection of scarves, in different colors or prints that suit you that you can use no matter what you're wearing, where you're headed, or how cold it is. Hats are also fashionable, whether you're sporting a modern beanie or a retro felt cloche, and even though they can be removed once you reach your destination, they are perfectly acceptable to wear continuously. Gloves are versatile, too. You can go with simple knit gloves or mittens for a casual outing, or you can slip into some fur (or faux-fur) lined leather gloves for a more polished look.
You don't have to discount wearing dresses once the winter months set it. Leggings and tights are hot accessories all year round and add some oomph while keeping your legs protected and warm despite the weather. A patterned or bold colored tight can make any winter outfit pop, and leggings are always comfy when paired with over-sized sweaters, or even with dresses and skirts as well for extra warmth. Layering is always in, and it definitely comes in handy when the weather calls for it. Don't shy away from skirts, dresses, or any other leg-flattering pieces, especially when there is a whole world of leggings and tights to explore.
And of course, winter accessories can refer to winter jewelry as well. While jewelry trends change with the seasons, jewel-tones are usually synonymous with winter fashion, and while silver and gold are always in style, playing up these styles can really parallel the glittery frost outside your window and add that glamorous wintry shimmer to your look.
Like any season, winter has it's share of accessories and styles, so don't be afraid to mix and match and, most of all, stay warm! Chicastic has some fun winter accessories for women, that can be worn casually or formally to stay warm yet look fashionable.
Staying warm in style
Despite the weather, staying warm and cozy this winter can also be chic. By choosing the right items, you'll never look too flab when trying to stay warm this season.
Layering is everyone's best friend. Cardigans are an easy and versatile way to stay warm this winter. Loose fitting knit cardigans look great over tees or flannel button-downs and can be worn in a variety of ways to keep your outfits looking new and fresh all season without looking worn out. Vests, sweaters, and long-sleeved tees can be layered in any number of chic combinations and can give new life to tees and tanks you might otherwise put away for the season. Even printed thermal tops are trending! And remember, you are also safe in purchasing a few heavy-knit sweaters for the season. Wear them with skinny jeans or over thick paneled leggings and look great while keeping yourself warm.
A pashmina, chiffon, or a tube scarf is a great addition to any winter ensemble. Be sure to have several in your wardrobe to wear with multiple outfits on any occasion. Tie it around your neck to protect yourself from the elements while still accessorizing your outfit. Use it as a wrap-around for a dress when you go out to dinner or even just feeling a little chilly around the house. Even draping it over your shoulders gives warmth as well as a bit of that Old Hollywood feel. Scarves are great for any occasion and are essential to layering. If you want to play it up a little, choose a bold, jewel-toned scarf or funky animal print.
When it comes to footwear, it seems boots are in no matter what season it is, but winter is when they are put to the best use. Boots can keep the snow out of your soles as well as protect you from slipping and sliding out on the ice in dangerous weather, all while still looking stylish. Additionally, most boots give you some wiggle room to layer socks or even to wear leggings under skinny jeans or pants if you're wearing a calf or knee-high boot, and can help trap the warmth. Also consider wearing wool socks or other garments. Wool is always chic when it comes to cozy and helps trap your body heat to keep you toasty.
Choose your items wisely, even thinner garments can be saved with the right warm accessories, whether it's a scarf, plush leggings, or cardigan. Staying warm can also mean staying chic. Chicastic has a large variety of tube scarves, cardigans, pashminas and fashion scarves.

I'm from the centeral Ohio area, just outside Columbus, and i've seen a 55 gallon stainless steel drum just up the street. It doesn't look like it get much use and I was thinking about making an offer on it. I don't realy have the room to be expainding my brewery right now, and this is just to cool to not be used for beer makeing. Would anyone buy it from me for say $100?
You're not going to get 100 for it, specially if its used. Generally speaking, they go from 10-50 bucks on craigslist, and used ones aren't very good for homebrewing unless you can REALLY clean the inside.
Many used ones house motor oil/spent grease and the like.
Sean From NH
Well right now it's just sitting upright full of water.
I just want to know if someone would want it before i make an offer on it. My wife would kill me if I bought it and couldn't get rid of it. What would people pay for it?
Just ask the guy what he wants for it and post that info here so if anyone local wants to go there and buy it they can. Takes your money out of the loop since you're just wanting to resell anyway. Or are you trying to make a quick buck off it? Understandable if you are. But you take the risk of getting stuck with it.
get it and make one of theseBig Drum Smokers | BBQ Smokers
If the bottoms are attached with a weld, they could be used for brewing. If they are simply crimped on over a thin rubber gasket, they will probably fail after repeated heating. You could probably sell them for scrap for $40 each.
if it looks anything like the one I have I paid $1.50 per pound at the scrap yard.
Looking for 55 Gallon Stainless Steel Drum(s) in decent condition.
If willing to ship to California, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Are we really talking STAINLESS STEEL here? New these guys go for $800+. Reconditioned at $500. Totally sure it's SS and not just your norm steel drum? There's one right now on eBay for $450.
Thanks for the heads up on Ebay, ShortSnout! Jamey

St. Nicholas in Germany
Without St. Nicholas there would be no Santa Claus. His reputation as a secret benefactor and giver of gifts made him the inspiration for Sinterklaas, and with St. Nicholas Eve on December 5, and December 6 St. Nicholas Day, "Nikolaus" is still a magical time in many areas of Germany.
Advent Calendars, a Countdown to Christmas
December 1 signals time to discover the first of the Advent Calendar's twenty-four surprises and it begins the countdown to Heiligabend, Christmas Eve. In Germany an Adventskalender has been a much loved Weihnachtszeit holiday tradition for generations.
Gluehwein and More - Holiday Drink Recipes
Cold weather in Germany means traditional warming winter drinks, but not only for Weihnachten and New Year with its timeless combination of "Gluehwein" and "Christmas/New Year". From Gluehwein and Punch to Pharisaeer there are so many, and here are a few to try, with the Pharisaeer legend.
Advent Wreaths and Advent in Germany
Advent Wreaths don't decorate doors in Germany, they sit on flat surfaces or hang from a height and have four candles surrounded by evergreen foliage. One for each of Advent's four weeks. 'Die Adventskraenze', just one of many traditions that are a part of Christmas in Germany.
Germany's Ruhr Valley - The Ruhr Metropolis
Germany's rejuvenated Ruhr Valley has an industrial history that reaches back 750 years, and a revitalized metropolis of 53 towns and cities which has been a "European Capital of Culture". A tribute honoring the way the entire region emphasizes European cultures, and the links connecting them.
Traditional Christmas Cookie Recipes
Baking Weihnachts Plaetzchen is another of Germanys centuries old traditional Christmas customs. Holiday cookie recipes vary from region to region and family to family, but during Advent, even amongst those who do not follow the Christian faith, few homes will be without their Weihnachtskekse.
Germany's 'Lucky' Chimney Sweeps
Throughout Europe Chimney Sweeps are surrounded by tradition and superstition, including in Germany where both the practice and customs of the country's 'Lucky' Schornsteinfeger, in their black gold buttoned suits and top hats, are rooted far in the past.
Oberammergau Passion Play
The wind of change has blown through the Bavarian village of Oberammergaus centuries old and unique Passion Play, although Jesus entrance to Jerusalem, his crucifixion and resurrection remain the focal points.
German Specialty, Roast Goose Recipe
"Koelner Martinsgans" is a delicious St. Martin's Goose specialty from Cologne. Roast Goose, Red Cabbage and Dumplings are enjoyed from autumn onwards, not only for the Christmas, New Year's Eve and St. Martin's Day festivities, and here is a recipe with the traditional side dishes.
Halloween, All Saints and All Souls Day in Germany
Halloween has appeared in Germany. Witches, Germany's "Forest Goddesses" from pagan times have returned, carved pumpkins, ghosts and skeletons are found on some streets, but it is a limited celebration alongside the country's centuries old "All Saints" and "All Souls" Day traditions.

Lady Lions Set For Rematch Against Lady Patriots
It's a rematch almost 10 months in the making.UAFS beat Heartland Conference foe Dallas Baptist twice during the regular season last year, but the regular-season champion Lady Lions were upset by the Lady Patriots when it mattered most – the conference tournament title match.That five-set loss, which occurred on Nov. 23 at the Stubblefield Center, not only cost UAFS its third consecutive conference tournament title but also cost the Lady Lions an opportunity for a third consecutive appearance in the national tournament.UAFS will have the opportunity, albeit on a much smaller stage, to exact a little revenge against Dallas Baptist on Thursday when the two clash for the first time since that epic conference title match.First serve in the conference match will be at 4 p.m. at The Burg Center in Dallas.It will be the 11th meeting in the all-time series between UAFS and Dallas Baptist, which UAFS leads 8-2.

UAFS' only loss came in the two-day invitational against Tarleton State (3-1).
Mendez Back, Better Than Ever
Competing at the collegiate level can be a battle. Having to go out every day pushing yourself to the limit is rewarding, but sometimes the field of battle can cause setbacks. UAFS redshirt junior men's cross country runner Mariano Mendez knows all about the field of competition and the setbacks it can bring.Athletic competition, whether running or soccer, has been a part of Mendez's life since he was in the first grade."In elementary school, we had a run/walk club every morning before school started," he said. "We had a punch card for every lap we ran, and I got the most punches throughout the year in first and second grade. After second grade I stopped running and switched to soccer, but I came back to running in 8th grade for track."Mendez went on to run for Rogers Heritage High School, where he excelled enough to catch the eye of former UAFS men's cross country coach Jason Merritt and earned a scholarship to run for the Lions.He had an excellent freshman year, where he scored for the team at every meet and ran his personal best 8k time of 28:21. Then, he was bit by the dreaded injury bug his sophomore year."I had severe inflammation of one of the joints in my hip throughout my sophomore year that ended my season early," he said.The injury happened before the season started so Mendez was forced to redshirt and spent the year rehabbing his hip in order to comeback for his junior season. He returned last season but felt like he was starting over again.
Humphrey Overcomes Obstacles To Run
A college student-athlete's senior year is a critical moment.It's the final year of their eligibility and their last opportunity to win a championship. For senior UAFS Women's Cross Country runner Lydia Humphrey, this is her last chance to help lead the Lady Lions to their first conference championship.Humphrey is like many student-athletes in that she has her own pre-race rituals. She listens to music before each race to help her focus, and her favorite pre-race meal is gluten-free pizza.Gluten-free pizza?Humphrey is among a growing number of people who have celiac disease and are gluten intolerant.According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, gluten "is a general name for the proteins found in wheat, rye, barley and triticale. Gluten helps foods maintain their shape, acting as a glue that holds food together.""I was diagnosed with it (celiac disease) when I was two," she said. "It pretty much means that my body cannot digest gluten."
Lady Lions Sweep Final Matches Of Invitational
After a slow start in the Angelo State Karen Brassfield Invitational, the UAFS volleyball team finished strong with three consecutive wins, including sweeps in the final two matches on Saturday at San Angelo, Texas.UAFS (4-1) lost to Tarleton State in four sets in the invitational opener on Friday but followed with a five-set win against No. 19 Angelo State on Friday night and sweeps of Western New Mexico and Missouri Southern State on Saturday.UAFS opened the final day of the invitational with a convincing win against Western New Mexico. The Lady Lions won the match 25-19, 25-16, 25-14.
Lady Lions Edge Lady Rams In Five Sets
It didn't take the UAFS volleyball team to bounce back from its first loss of the season on Friday afternoon.Only a few hours after losing to Tarleton State in four sets in the opening match of the Angelo State Karen Brassfield Invitational, the Lady Lions beat host Angelo State in five sets to finish first-day action.UAFS won the match 25-21, 12-25, 19-25, 25-19, 15-13.The Lady Lions will finish invitational play on Saturday against Western New Mexico at noon and Missouri Southern State at 4 p.m. at San Angelo, Texas.Senior outside hitter Michelle Walker continued her dominating start to the season, collecting a team-high 23 kills. Sophomore outside hitter Katarina Krstonosic and senior middle hitter Jessica Anderson had 13 kills apiece. UAFS compiled a 0.168 hitting percentage with 61 kills and 25 hitting errors.
Lady Lions Drop Invitational Opener In Four Sets
Senior Michelle Walker and sophomore Payton Hamilton combined for 30 kills, but that wasn't enough for UAFS on Friday as the Lady Lions lost to Tarleton State in four sets in the opening match of the Angelo State Karen Brassfield Invitational in San Angelo, Texas.Tarleton State won the match 25-23, 18-25, 25-22, 25-23.UAFS (1-1) will play host Angelo State at 6 p.m. to finish the opening round, and the Lady Lions will complete invitational play on Saturday with matches against Western New Mexico at noon and Missouri Southern State at 4 p.m.Walker, who is the reigning Heartland Conference Player of the Year, had a team-high 18 kills. The outside hitter compiled a 0.386 hitting percentage, committing only one hitting error in 44 attempts.Hamilton added 12 kills and compiled a 0.281 hitting percentage, committing only three hitting errors in 32 attempts.
Lady Lions Sweep Season, Conference Opener
It was a little uncharacteristic for UAFS to begin the volleyball regular season with a Heartland Conference match, but that was all that was out of the ordinary for the Lady Lions during Thursday's match against the Oklahoma Panhandle State Aggies.The Lady Lions, who are picked to win the conference, swept the Aggies at Oscar Williams Fieldhouse, winning 25-13, 25-4, 25-10.It was the 10th meeting in the all-time series between UAFS and OPSU, which UAFS now leads 10-0. The two teams will finish the home-and-home conference series at noon on Oct. 11 at the Stubblefield Center.It also was the Lady Lions 10th sweep of the Aggies, who are picked to finish last in the nine-team conference.UAFS (1-0, 1-0) improved to 3-3 all-time in season openers and 6-0 in conference openers since joining NCAA Division II in 2009.All 18 Lady Lions who suited up played in the lopsided win.
Ayulo Gets Defensive For Lady Lions
Competing for conference titles isn't all about offense. Often times, the teams with the strongest defense can make the biggest difference when it comes crunch time.The UAFS volleyball team boasts a strong defense, and one of the key parts to that is junior Macy Ayulo.Last season, Ayulo was second on the team in digs and third in digs per set. It's no surprise that that's the reason why she enjoys being a defensive specialist. "I enjoy getting all the digs up from the hitters," said Ayulo, a junior from Denton, Texas.Ayulo is one of 12 returning players from last year's team that won the Heartland Conference regular-season title and finished runner-up in the conference tournament. She said she believes that this year's team could be better than last year's team.UAFS will make its regular-season and conference debut at 5 p.m. on Thursday against Oklahoma Panhandle State at Oscar Williams Fieldhouse in Goodwell, Okla. It will be the first match of a busy weekend for the Lady Lions, who will compete in the two-day Angelo State Karen Brassfield Invitational in San Angelo, Texas, beginning on Friday.
Walker Stays Focused On Goals
After being named the Conference Player of the Year, a player has two choices. They either settle on achieving such a high honor, or they continue to put in the hard work to be even better.Michelle Walker, who was last season's Heartland Conference Player of the Year, is one who continues to strive to get better day in and day out.The senior outside hitter from Sugarland, Texas, didn't just jump on the scene when she arrived at UAFS after two seasons at the University of Montevallo.She has been a star since she entered the college ranks.The offseason is often the key to becoming a better player. So what type of offseason training does she do? "A lot of conditioning and lifting is how I spend my offseason," Walker said. "We do more lifting in the offseason than in season."Coming off a season that many programs would be happy with, Walker and her Lady Lions teammates are looking to avenge their loss in the Heartland Conference Tournament title match a year ago and take the next step in advancing to the national tournament.To reach their goal of playing in the national tournament, Walker said the Lady Lions "have to play more as a team and get the team chemistry going and keep it going throughout the year."
Brecht Overcomes Injuries, Eyes Strong Finish
Injuries are an athlete's worst enemy. They can completely ruin a record-setting season and put a huge dent into championship hopes.However, injuries heal, and an athlete sometimes can come back better than ever after overcoming that obstacle. No athlete knows this better than UAFS senior women's cross country runner Dani Brecht.Brecht started running when she was 4-years-old."I started playing soccer when I was 4, and I would keep running the whole time," she said. "In third grade, my mom and I did our first 5k. She knew I liked to run because of soccer. After the race, I threw up everywhere, and I just loved it."
Lady Lions Eye Return To National Tournament
A goal unfulfilled.A year ago, the UAFS volleyball team dominated the Heartland Conference, winning its first 14 league matches and 16 of 18 total matches to capture the outright title for the second consecutive season.As the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament, which it hosted for the second season in a row, the Lady Lions were the unanimous favorite to complete a tournament three-peat and advance to the national tournament.Their quest was derailed in the championship game of the conference tournament by Dallas Baptist, which was the regular-season runner-up. The Lady Patriots, which lost twice in five sets to the Lady Lions in the regular season, beat the Lady Lions in five, earning the automatic bid to the national tournament.The Lady Lions' stellar season, which was the 15th 20-win season in the program's history, was suddenly over."Last season's finish was a devastating loss to not only our seniors but to the entire team. It was a very disappointing end to an otherwise successful season. As far as motivation goes, it's definitely been the fuel to ignite our off-season program. All of our returners took it upon themselves to support and push each other in both the weight room and on the court during our spring season," Sargent said. "This group is definitely a player-driven team and needs very little motivation to work hard. I know they feel like they disappointed which gives them all the more motivation to work even harder to make sure it doesn't happen again on their watch."UAFS will begin the season at 5 p.m. on Thursday against Heartland Conference foe Oklahoma Panhandle State at Oscar Williams Fieldhouse in Goodwell, Okla. It will be the first match of a busy weekend for the Lady Lions, who will compete in the two-day Angelo State Kathleen Brasfield Invitational beginning on Friday at San Angelo, Texas.As always, Sargent has high expectations for the Lady Lions.
Lions Look To Build On Last Season's Success
Last season was one for the record books for the UAFS men's cross country team.The Lions posted four Top 10 finishes and three Top 5 finishes in their five meets a year ago, including the first-ever win in the program's history.UAFS won the University of the Ozarks Eagles Invitational and finished fourth in the Heartland Conference Meet, fifth in the University of Central Oklahoma Land Run and sixth in the Oklahoma Baptist Bison Invitational. The Lions' only non-Top 10 finish was an 18th-place finish in the always-tough Missouri Southern State University Stampede."Last season is a great foundation to build on. We are not overly satisfied with what we accomplished last year because we believe we are better than what we showed, but we now know how to approach practice and what mentality it takes to be successful," said Lions coach Justin Bailey, who will begin his second season.Eight runners will return from last year's team – senior Ian Brecht from Rogers, Ark.; senior Mariano Mendez from Rogers, Ark.; junior Isai Carranza from Rogers, Ark.; Hunter Westbrook from Clarksville, Texas; junior Juan Zermeno from Springdale, Ark.; sophomore Ian Carter from Greenwood, Ark.; sophomore Nico Hall from Poteau, Okla.; and redshirt freshman Nate Stanton from Hutto, Texas.It's a solid corps of returning runners to build on for the upcoming season, Bailey said."Any experience is great for a team. I'm grateful to have all my guys returning. They know how we operate and what is expected. It gives the new guys somebody to look up to and take advice from," Bailey said.
Expectations High For Lady Lions
Fresh off a successful season a year ago, the UAFS women's cross country team will look to build on that strong performance as they begin their sixth season of competition.The Lady Lions posted five Top 10 finishes and three Top 5 finishes this past season, including the first-ever win in the program's history.UAFS won the University of the Ozarks Eagles Invitational and was third in the Oklahoma Baptist Bison Invitational, fourth in the Heartland Conference Meet, sixth in the University of Central Oklahoma Land Run and ninth in the Missouri Southern State University Stampede."We had some successes last year throughout the season, which are great accomplishments to build on," UAFS coach Lauren Unger said. "However, all the meets prior to the conference meet are merely practices. We did not perform the way we should have at the conference meet last year, and that will not be forgotten by me or my runners. This season we will be running every practice and every meet with a purpose and goal in mind."Unger has higher expectations this season considering the number of runners returning and their experience level.

Larry Sultan: Here and Home
Los Angeles
Larry Sultan, Discussion, Kitchen Table, 1985. ©Estate of Larry Sulton, courtesy the Estate of Larry Sultan
Larry Sultan's father, Irving, hated the photograph of him sitting on his bed in a dark blue suit, tense, staring straight ahead. He put the suit on because his son, who had just begun photographing him obsessively, asked him to. He sat on the bed because he needed to rest. It was like being an actor on a film set, and then seeing cameras start to roll when you were taking a break--entirely unfair. It also was not a photograph about him. The New York Times obituary for Sultan, who died in 2009 at age 63, quotes Irving reprimanding his son: "[Y]ou tell people that that's not me. . . . That's you sitting on the bed."
Sultan's photographs of his father, and often his mother, in their Southern California home read as self-portraits even if you do not know how Irving felt. The point of looking so closely at his parents, quirky, charismatic and probably hot-tempered, seems to be to understand his own tastes and origins. Pictures from Home (1984-1994) may be the most memorable series Sultan ever did, and in the artist's LACMA retrospective, organized by curator Rebecca Morse and on view through March 22, it's hard to move on from the galleries that hold it.
The first series you see when you enter the show, though, is Sultan's final one, Homeland (2006-2009), of day laborers against suburban landscapes. He hired the laborers, then took them to vacant lots or un-landscaped yards in the San Fernando Valley. The lighting and staging is exquisite: men carrying dishes of food across an overgrown field in late afternoon sun, men standing languorously, staring out of a batting cage mid-day. But the sentimental prettiness would give the wrong impression of why he is an interesting artist. His sense of light, color, and composition were, in his best work, not the main point but tools to give intimate views into strange, specific worlds.
Larry Sultan, Boxers, Mission Hills, 1999. ©Estate of Larry Sultan, courtesy the Estate of Larry Sulton
Pictures from Home follows Homeland, then transitions into Evidence. A project Sultan completed in the late 1970s with artist Mike Mandel, Evidence involved requesting access to multiple government and corporate archives then culling them for compelling images of politicians, fires or medical patients. The artists sequenced the photographs and then published them in a book that included no contextual information. It became a landmark in conceptual photography, delving deep into strangeness and privileging uncanny, intuitive associations over authorship and narrative.
The show's final few galleries feature, among other things, The Valley, photographs of porn stars and their surroundings. Sultan, who began this project in the late1990s, would spend all day on set, getting bored but also becoming more familiar with the details: the way an actress holds her robe shut between shoots, the weirdness of neighbors' windows facing a set.
It is rare that ordering a show chronologically actually seems like the better option. But in this case, it might have been more affecting to start at the beginning, to see Sultan and Mandel grappling with how to represent "official" documentation of their cultural moment; then to see Sultan mining his perceptions of his parents; then on to porn sets and flashy stars. After spending time in these self-contained worlds Sultan excavated, you would encounter the measured beauty of Homeland, with the laborers traversing landscapes, and you might be better primed to appreciate the photographer's urge to zoom out on bigger vistas.

Lewis Baltz, the influential photographer whose work was included in the landmark exhibition New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-altered Landscape at the George Eastman House in 1975, died on November 23. Baltz grew up in Newport Beach, California, but he spent his last years between Paris and Venice. He was one of the most important figures in the New Topographics movement in photography in the 1960s and '70s, which redefined the parameters of landscape photography in terms of a minimal approach that often examined suburban sprawl.

Orit Raff: Priming
New York
Orit Raff, Special Topics in Calamity Physics, 2013. Courtesy Julie Saul Gallery
In Orit Raff's photographs of rooms and interior spaces, on view at Julie Saul through December 6, beams of sunlight fall across a floor, and lamplight softly illuminates the corner of a bedroom. Light – that essential tool of photography – is a living, breathing entity in her works, creating the mood and setting the emotional temperature. But these images are not what they seem. For one thing, they are not photographs, and that evanescent light is a digital manifestation, not a record of the real thing. Raff fabricated these images entirely in a computer, using architectural and photo-editing software. The 13 works on view depict rooms or spaces in different novels, ranging from classics such as Madame Bovary to contemporary works such as Jonathan Franzen's Freedom. They also play with conventions of photography in the oblique but thoughtful way that has characterized Raff's work.
Raff conjured these spaces with exacting precision after immersing herself in the novels, placing details like the rope clutched by the newly blind Jose Saramago's Blindness, or the Bob Dylan poster and the Pepsi bottle in the room from Jonathan Franzen's Freedom. Deftly borrowing visual tropes from architectural and documentary photography, she encourages us to read the pictures as facts. Then she slyly pulls apart the indexical character photography.
Orit Raff, Blindness, 2013. Courtesy Julie Saul Gallery
Raff's previous series also explored space and architecture. White focused on domestic objects -- a soap dish, a bathroom sink, a drain – and the evidence left there of human habitation. Mobius Strip depicted on the indentations in carpets and other surfaces in recently vacated apartments that suggested the way the space was laid out when it was occupied. She has also photographed old wooden desktops from schools that bear the marks of generations of schoolchildren's scribbles and doodles.
Priming takes her interest in the traces left by people one step further. As curator Lauri Firstenberg commented in an interview with Raff in 2005, the artist seems to approach her subject sideways, through surrogates – places, objects, and traces, rather than the thing itself. In these images, she sidles into an exploration of memory – her own memory of a place she imagined while engaged in a story, and perhaps viewers' memories as well. But whether the viewer has read the books or not, these images are full of possibility and tension, percolating with narrative potential.

Lucien Clergue, 1934-2014
©Jean-Marie Perier
French photographer Lucien Clergue died on November 15, at the age of 80. A photographer and champion of the medium, he founded Les Rencontres d'Arles in 1970, one of the forerunners of the many art fairs today. In 2006, he was the first photographer elected to France's Académie des Beaux-Arts.
Clergue, who was born in Arles, was only 19 when he approached Pablo Picasso at a bullfight in Arles to show the famous artist his photographs. Picasso was impressed, and a 30-year friendship was born. Clergue is known for his nudes and landscapes and well as photographs of bullfighting and of Picasso and his circle. On the occasion of Clergue's 80th birthday in July, l'Oeil de la Photographie devoted an entire issue to him, which has been republished in his memory.

Sandro Miller: Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters

There are few somebodies who can become anybody. John Malkovich is one of them. The actor's 60-year-old face shape-shifts its way through art history in Sandro Miller's Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage To Photographic Masters at Catherine Edelman Gallery (through January 31, 2015). Famed portraits by Avedon, Mapplethorpe, Penn, and Warhol, among others, are simulated by Sandro, himself a master persona-maker for more than 30 years, and Malkovich. The hilarious images smack of heartfelt collaboration.
The two artists met in Chicago while working at the Steppenwolf Theatre, Malkovich on stage and Sandro shooting playbills. Apparently the idea for the series sprang from Sandro's gigantic library of photo books—he is self-taught—and the two men reenact some of the 20th century's most iconic, beautiful, and strange photographic portraits. Dorothea Lange's 1936 Migrant Mother and Diane Arbus's 1967 twins are popular favorites. Malkovich as Christ submerged in piss shocks anew.
Sandro Miller, Dorothea Lange / Migrant Mother, Nipomo, California (1936), 2014. ©Sandro Miller, courtesy Catherine Edelman Gallery
Ultimately, Malkovich's face and its encyclopedia of expressions dominate each scene's flawless mimesis. But this is John Malkovich, not some Everyman Actor. One no longer sees Malkovich the man (whoever he is) but that which Malkovich's face has come to signify: a metaphysics of identity.
The series is not just a nightmare where everything you love has been replaced with the face of a monkey; rather, Sandro's work with Malkovich demonstrates icon fantasy. These are the saints of art history transformed by Sandro's—and our—obsession with masterpieces and geniuses. Even as millions of personal images circulate the globe daily, it is likely that only a few will define you. Such is the paradox and power of images in the celebrity age.
The reenactments hit a high note of performance energy. Malkovich soars. The sets and costuming are impeccable. Perhaps the series will not be as eternal as their sources, but they remain a curious delicacy in the oeuvres of Sandro and Malkovich.

Sunil Gupta: Out and About: New York and New Delhi
New York

On the surface, the two bodies of work in Sunil Gupta's exhibition, Out and About: New York and New Delhi, on view at sepiaEYE through December 20, have a lot in common. In both Christopher Street and Mr. Malhotra's Party, Gupta explores queer presence in public spaces. But context is crucial, and ultimately the series, separated by place and more than 30 years, reveal key differences, opening up an intriguing conversation about freedom and identity.
Christopher Street, like much of Gupta's work, straddles the personal and the political. In 1976 Gupta abandoned a master's program in business administration in New York City to pursue photography education at the New School. His photos of fellow gay men on Christopher Street from this period may be seen not only as a reflection of the gay liberation movement taking hold at the time, but Gupta's own "coming out" as an artist.
The Village was a revelation to Gupta, who'd never seen a place where sexuality was so openly expressed. His enthrallment shows in his photographs, in which his camera acts as a proxy for his own wandering, curious eye. His subjects, pictured in black and white walking the streets of the gay haven, are mostly unaware that they're being photographed, and perhaps equally heedless of their own unprecedented freedom.
Sunil Gupta, Bikram, India Gate, 2007, from Mr. Malhotra's Party. Courtesy Sunil Gupta and sepiaEYE
Mr. Malhotra's Party, taken more than 30 years later, reveals the luxury of that freedom by comparison. In Delhi, where the photos were taken, centuries-old anti-sodomy laws were only struck down in 2009, two years after Gupta began taking photos of queer people around the city (the laws were re-instated in 2013). There are no gay bars in the city; gatherings for queer people are advertised as private parties under the name of a host.
In this political environment, a queer person posing for the camera is a conscious act of defiance, one that Gupta instigated with friends and acquaintances for the photographs. His subjects face the camera directly, as though challenging those who oppose them. Their expressions are powerful and moving.
Taken together, these photos speak to the variety of experiences in gay communities, but they also tell a story about the development of a photographer and activist. While he is an anonymous, wide-eyed observer in the Village, Gupta shows himself to be an active dissenter in Delhi, driven to create a world in which, one day, perhaps, images of gay life in the West and the East might not look so different.

Builder Levy: Photographer

Over the 50 years that Builder Levy has been photographing, the genre of street photography has gone from being novel to ubiquitous. While the evolution of technology has coincided with the outsourcing of technical skills, Levy continues to shoot film and produce fastidious gold-toned gelatin silver prints.
A survey of Levy's work at Arnika Dawkins through November 22 provides an overview of his work that also suggests his values, as seen in his choice of subject matter. Raised in New York in a socially progressive home, Levy has had a lifelong interest in issues of social justice. Influenced by Paul Strand and Helen Levitt, who mentored him, he has consistently sought to represent hard-luck people in troubled times.
He photographed the Civil Rights struggle and anti-Vietnam protests in the 1960s, and street scenes throughout New York CIty, especially in the poverty-ravaged Brooklyn of the 1960s, '70s and '80s. In 1968, Levy made his first trip to Appalachian coal-mining country to document the lives of the miners and their families, which he has continued to track over the decades. A selection of those images was published in 2013 as Appalachia USA: Photographs, 1968-2009. Iconic among them is Toby Moore, Old House Branch Mine, Eastern Coal Company, Pike County, Kentucky (1970). In the vein of Walker Evans's Allie Mae Burroughs, Hale County, Alabama and Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother (both 1936), it features a black miner staring directly at the camera, headlamp askew, with a look of tired resignation.
Builder Levy, Church and Tipple, 1970. Courtesy Arnika Dawson Gallery
Church and Tipple, shot in West Virginia in 1970, has a Becher-like quality—a dilapidated church building, dingy with soot from the coal-moving tipple behind it, occupies nearly the entire frame, so that two young children standing in front are easily overlooked, their lives literally lived in the shadow of the coal industry.
Several of Levy's interests converge in Harlem Peace March (No Vietnamese...) NYC, 1967, which shows two young boys in the foreground and a man holding a sign that says "No Vietnamese Ever Called Me Nigger." In another work from his Civil Rights series, a black woman with a forlorn expression stares past the camera. Titled Martin Luther King Funeral—Woman with Umbrella (1968), its poignancy lies in its understated quality, a magnitude of grief belied by stunned silence.

Mayumi Lake: Latent Heat
New York
Mayumi Lake, Dark Sun #4340, 2014. Courtesy Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery
The images in Mayumi Lake's exhibition, Latent Heat, at Miyako Yoshinaga through December 24, are an elegant, minimalist expression of existential unease. Made in response to the 2011 tsunami and nuclear meltdown in Japan, as well as the deaths of several of Lake's loved ones, the images are not merely mournful – they also reflect an acute anxiety about the survival of Japanese culture.
Everywhere you look in Lake's images, there is a ghostly sense of absence and isolation. Much of that feeling might be attributed to the personal items, including kimonos, parasols, and dresses, which appear suspended in mid-air or abandoned, as though their owners had suddenly vanished.
The people in Lake's images are always alone, their faces obscured. In one particularly haunting photograph, Layered Solitude #1537, a solitary figure stands, arms outstretched, in a dark wood, draped in a blood red robe, evoking the iconic image of a tortured Abu Ghraib prisoner.
Mayumi Lake, Will-'o-the-Wisp, #4451, 2014. Courtesy Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery
Clearly, Lake sees traditional Japanese culture as endangered: In Spiral Echoes #141136, a Navajo dancer performs at night in an empty athletic field, suggesting a parallel between the two peoples. In Dark Sun #4340, we see that symbol of tradition and patriotism in a faded light, as though in the last gasps of a glorious sunset.
One sees something of Ishiuchi Miyako's work in Lake's treatment of loss. Like Ishiuchi's photos of the clothes of Hiroshima victims, Lake's focus on unpeopled garments suggests the transience of human existence as well as its ability to carry on through physical artifacts.
These photos are not solely dour. There is, in some of them, a sense of tribute and grace: In It's Alright #141199, white parasols dot a green landscape from the foreground all the way to the sunny background, as though forming a heavenly procession. And finally, in her video, Latent Heat (Awakening #9295), clothes burn on a pyre, the resulting sky-bound smoke suggesting at once death and, perhaps, rebirth.

text: On July 6, 1997, at 0730 eastern standard time, a balloon, an Aerostar-Raven S-60-A, N3590H, was undamaged during a landing to an open field near Clyde, Ohio. The certificated commercial pilot and one passenger were not injured. A second passenger sustained a serious injury. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight that originated at Wolfcreek Park, Helena, Ohio, at 0630. The sightseeing flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.In a telephone interview, the pilot reported that the balloon had been aloft for approximately 1 hour. He said a site was chosen for a full-stop landing but was over flown due to winds. The pilot selected a second open field and performed a "positive landing." He stated that it was a standard maneuver and described a positive landing as "...a little harder than normal." The pilot said the balloon and basket were undamaged during the landing. In a written statement, the pilot said:"...we tried to land but [the] wind blew us east of our intended landing spot. The next good looking spot in our line of sight was a cut hay field. We had a level flight to the tree line bordering the field, [then] vented some air just after the tree line so the wind would not take us into the power lines about 100 yards down the field."After landing, one of the two passengers complained of leg pain. The passenger was transported to the hospital where a medical examination revealed she had sustained a broken leg.According to a Federal Aviation Administration Aviation (FAA) Safety Inspector:"The pilot stated that the balloon was drifting towards a high tension line and he decided to immediately land...The pilot executed a positive landing and the balloon struck the ground firmly."In a telephone interview, one passenger reported he had purchased the balloon ride as a present to his wife on her birthday. He said it was the first hot air balloon trip for them both. The passenger said the flight was uneventful and that a "touch-and-go" landing was performed during the flight to familiarize them with the landing sequence. He and his wife were instructed to crouch with one foot planted on the floor of the basket with the other foot braced against the side of the basket facing the direction of travel. The passenger said the practice landing was smooth and the balloon climbed after it skimmed the ground.The passenger said the pilot selected a spot for a full-stop landing but over flew it. He said the pilot selected a second spot but was unsure about the landing surface and was shouting questions into a hand-held radio to his ground crew to determine if the landing site was suitable. The passenger said he was uncomfortable with the continued descent while the pilot remained unsure about the landing site. He told the pilot, "This doesn't seem right." The pilot did not respond and continued the approach.The passenger said the basket dragged through trees prior to the field selected for landing. He said the balloon came almost straight down after it cleared the trees. The passenger further stated:"He was determined to drop it on the ground. I don't understand why he expedited the landing. I feel like he brought it down too rapidly, too fast. I felt like I was falling out of a tree. We hit so hard, my teeth rammed together. I saw stars." According to the second passenger:"The flight seemed to go well. We did a nice, gentle practice landing. We were stooped over standing on the left leg...the right leg was braced against the front of the basket. That's what we were instructed to do."The second passenger said she was positioned the same way in preparation for the full-stop landing. She further stated:"We were right at the tree tops. All of a sudden, he's pulling and pulling on a red cord. He was in a hurry to land. It wasn't like our touch-and-go. It was like we fell out of the tree tops and came straight down. We came down flat and hard. The basket stayed straight up."In an FAA approved flight manual published by Cameron Balloons under Passenger Briefing and Equipment, it states:"Passengers should be briefed to hold on with both hands, knees slightly bent to absorb shock on impact, and to stay down in the basket to prevent being thrown out during the landing. If a stand-up landing is anticipated, the passengers need not brace their bodies against the wall of the basket...If it will be a ...rapid vertical descent...the passengers should be briefed to face away from the direction of flight..."

JAPAN: Subaru eyes big boost to US output by mid-decade
By Dave Leggett | 22 November 2012
Subaru is hitting new sales records in the US market and considering a major expansion to its US output by the middle of the decade.
Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, president of Fuji Heavy Industries, has said in an interview with Kyodo News that Subaru is planning to boost vehicle output in the US by 130,000 units a year to around 300,000 per annum as early as the business year starting April 2016. A final decision on the plan is expected by the end of this year.
The plan would entail increasing output at its existing plant in Indiana and the report said that it is in addition to an earlier announcement that Fuji Heavy will raise its production in the US by 30,000 units to 200,000 units by the summer of 2014.
Subaru of America Inc. is anticipating US sales of over 320,000 vehicles by year-end, Kyodo reported. It has already exceeded last year's 266,989 units, marking record sales for the fourth consecutive year.
"There is strong momentum in sales in the United States," Yoshinaga told Kyodo, adding, "They are likely to exceed 350,000 units in 2013."
Japanese carmakers are looking, where possible, to shift manufacturing activity overseas to offset the headwind provided by the high value of the yen.

In Phoenix, by contrast, the opposition to siting the Arizona Cardinals football stadium in downtown last year, a location that would have destroyed the gallery enclave on Roosevelt, amounted to little more than screaming and stunts. Like Christ, one artist dragged a crucifix into a hearing yelling, "Phoenix, we forgive you."
When photographer Rainey talked to the city and stadium promoters about extracting something for the community, he wasn't viewed as a negotiator, but rather as a traitor who needed to be taken down a peg or two.
The inability of the creative class in Phoenix to coalesce around reasonable goals, to join forces, to come to the table, leaves a vacuum that Colangelo seeks to fill, however heavy-handedly, with a generic master plan executed by a developer with dubious ties to the Disney vision of community.
The Downtown Phoenix Partnership presents a united front in support of its goal for developing downtown with an expanded Civic Center and hundreds of thousands of conventioneers. The creative class, as expressed through First Friday, manages a monthly party, but that is all its organizers manage. In a recent conversation, incoming Mayor Gordon expressed frustration with the incoherent agitating amongst the art types. He observed that no one person or group seems to represent any community consensus.
"They are too busy eating their young," said Gordon.
2003 -- One Last Hustle
Convention promoters claim that excise taxes are paid by convention delegates through hotel and car-rental fees. Thus the claim that the $35 million in tax subsidies are carried by conventioneers and tourists. But a closer examination of excise tax tells a different story. The single largest part of excise tax is paid by contractors. Advertising, job printing and publishing also pay into the excise-tax pool. It is true that restaurants and bars pay about 30 percent of the $35 million in taxes used to subsidize the Civic Plaza. But all of us pay that tax at our neighborhood pizzeria or drinking establishment.
There are more than two million of us in greater Phoenix who pay these taxes week in and week out when we build, advertise, eat or drink.
When six bright guys, who make their living promoting conventions, claim they don't know their business is bankrupt and depends upon Phoenix taxpayers for 75 percent of its revenue, then how can you ask them the obvious: If we triple the size of the convention center, how do we know we won't triple the debt service and expense that taxpayers shoulder?
You have to wonder: What would it take for someone to get fired in this convention promotion business, or at least spoken to sternly?
2003 -- More Than a Tourist Trap
Gabriel García Márquez wrote recently of his beginnings, the days of his youth that had yet to reveal One Hundred Years of Solitude and literary immortality. He described roosting in the cafes of Bogotá where he devoured the works of Jorge Luis Borges, D.H. Lawrence, Graham Greene and James Joyce.
"Many of these students reserved their tables year after year and received mail and even money orders at the cafes. Favors from the proprietors or their trusted employees were instrumental in saving a good number of university careers, and quite a few professionals in the country may owe more to their cafe connections than they do to their almost invisible tutors.
"My favorite cafe was El Molino, the one frequented by older poets, which was only 200 meters or so from my pension . . . I always arranged for the waiters to put me as close as possible to the master Leon de Grieff -- bearded, gruff, charming -- who would begin his tertulia, his literary talk at dusk with some of the most famous writers of the day, and end it with his chess students at midnight, awash in cheap liquor. . . . Although they tended to talk more about women and political intrigues than about their art or work, they always said something that was new to us."
Is it pretentious to cite Gabriel García Márquez's memories of a Bogotá street life as a template for downtown Phoenix? Yes, of course. But we are imagining possibilities here, and our dreams ought to be expansive and not fenced off by the barbed wire of self-consciousness.
Someone -- why not Márquez? -- must prick the bubble of torpor so acutely ambered by Arizona State University novelist Ron Carlson. In his latest collection of short stories, At the Jim Bridger, Carlson eavesdrops on a couple in a Valley bar. She is a Phoenix newscaster who asks: "Is this a soulless place, or is it me?"
"It will have soul in a thousand years," responds the man in the short story.
"Should we wait?" she asks.
Perhaps the word soul is overblown, too, but why shrink from it? If urban residents cower, someone else will create a downtown that is uninhabitable.
Today, five developments are careening over the horizon.
When the Arizona Cardinals chose to put their new stadium on the west side in Glendale instead of in downtown Phoenix, business leaders bemoaned the loss and took action. On June 5 of this year, they issued their letter calling for another billion dollars of investment in downtown Phoenix.
