'American Mirror' an artful portrait of Norman Rockwell
Some critics and snobs have undervalued American artist Norman Rockwell, but Deborah Solomon doesn't make that mistake. Her new biography "American Mirror: The Life and Art of Norman Rockwell" makes the case that Rockwell's work, in all its fussy homeyness, is worth looking at and thinking about, and will continue to be so for a long time.
Many readers might recognize Solomon as the former purveyor of the often-snarky Q&A interview in The New York Times Sunday Magazine. But she's also an art critic and the biographer of artists Jackson Pollock and Joseph Cornell. Her Rockwell biography is well-researched; her prose intelligent, accessible and touched occasionally with humor; her readings of Rockwell's paintings sharp and sensible. »Read Full Article

In a moment of pure revelation Burkhard Dämmer realised that enchanted things emerges from pods. And the most enchanted of all is light. POD & POPPY are a husk that shines with the power of radiance.
Please note that wood veneers may appear different when light is on versus off.
Our real wood veneers are selected to reveal the best natural wood grain effects when illuminated and all have been sourced from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council - FSC. Nothing comes close to the beauty of these veneers as a diffusion material and no other veneer treatment gives the strength and the protection to the material without sacrificing the delicacy and subtleness that this natural material communicates when illuminated. Photographic reproductions of the stained LZF wood veneers, either digital or print, are not necessarily a completely accurate representation of the actual stain color. Please use real color swatches for tone matching. LZF will not accept any requests for return based on selections made using photographic reproductions. Since wood is a natural material, gradual changes in tone may occur over time. Furthermore, if the lamps have been purchased at different times, there will be differences in color and tone, particularly in the light colored veneers.Care:
Our eco friendly patented wood veneer finish timberlite® protects your veneer from breakages and allows for easy cleaning. Depending on the type of lamp use a feather duster, soft cleaning cloth or damp cloth for cleaning. On our the more delicate shades, made from wood strips, a feather duster or an air blower is preferable. In our more solid shades a damp cloth may be used. Clean only the flat surface of the veneer with the cloth avoiding moisture contact along the edge of the veneer. Avoid direct sunlight or strong indirect sunlight on the fixture. Exposure to the sun changes the color of the wood. Please read all our instructions and recommendations on the use and care of the fixtures.Ships in 8-10 weeks.

SKU:625.229 | Cognac LEATHER
4 Review(s) | Write a Review
This Large Cosmetic Case offers plenty of room for all your essentials. Elegant and functional, it's an accessory no woman should be without! Made with genuine leather, our Large Cosmetic Case opens up to reveal a large interior pocket for your makeup, compacts, brushes, nail polish, and other things. A nylon lining inside gives your items a safe place to rest while the zipper opening on top keeps everything secure when it's closed up. Whether for travel or everyday use, this Large Cosmetic Case is something any woman can appreciate.
Casual yet distinctive, our Timeless collection is one of our favorites. This leather boasts a polished finish and a soft hand feel, making it a great choice for any leather connoisseur. And with the variety of colors it comes in, it's easy to find a shade that appeals to you or matches with your other accessories. As the name implies, our Timeless collection will hold up through years of use while aging gracefully every step of the way. Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
Soft buttery feel of a quality inspired leather piece. This will be long coveted. Thank you for craftsmanship that is found in each piece.
I purchased this as a gift for a coworker and she loved it! The quality of the leather was good and I had it monogrammed, which was well done. I personally would have liked the monogram to be larger and have the option of a more feminine font though. The gift box it came in was also beautiful. The only thing I do not like about the product designs, in general, is how Leatherology is printed on some of the items. I prefer their stitched "L" logo, but that is just me. Overall good value.
I sent it back to exchange for the smaller size.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

somehow it is good to see that everyone can suffert from boxoffice, nobody is protected. Stallone bomb with bullet to the head, Arnie bomb with the last stand, Statman bomb with Parker, now finally Perry bomb with peeples....
Why is it that second movie of the summer is always more of a drama or big budget art house flick. Don't get me wrong, I love films like The Great Gatsby, but why even bother for a summer release? Alternate programing? Way back when a movie would get sold out and people would go to a different film. Now the big release is on 5 or more screens all day. The Great Gatsby would have been that alternate choice. I still think that the original winter release was the right idea for Gatsby. Then it would have had a chance at the Oscars. Now it is sandwiched between two big franchises. What will Gatsby's numbers be like next week?
Iron Man 3 is our winner for the weekend. Ray Subers of Box Office Mojo had this to report. "Iron Man 3 fell 58 percent to an estimated $72.5 million, which is the fourth-highest second weekend ever behind The Avengers, Avatar and The Dark Knight. The decline is much steeper than that of The Avengers (50 percent), but is about even with Iron Man 2 (59 percent). To date, Iron Man 3 has earned an excellent $284.9 million, and if it continues to follow Iron Man 2's pace it will ultimately wind up over $400 million".
Rank | Movie | Weekend | Theaters | Average | Total | Budget |
1 | Iron Man 3 | $72,472,000 | 4,253 | $17,040 | $284,893,000 | $200 |

somehow it is good to see that everyone can suffert from boxoffice, nobody is protected. Stallone bomb with bullet to the head, Arnie bomb with the last stand, Statman bomb with Parker, now finally Perry bomb with peeples....
Gatsby did 51 mil? I never would have guessed on this oscar bait movie.
I saw Gatsby and liked it very much. Why is a movie about a rich guy who throws awesome parties and has an affair with another guy's wife not suitable for summer? Because it's based on a "classic" novel? Let me suggest that stories are considered "classics" because they are good stories and people like them.
I wouldn't call Peeples a bomb. I saw it this weekend and it was pretty good. The movie made almost $5 million and cost $15 to make. It will more than likely make a profit because it was made so cheaply. Also, it was just produced by Tyler Perry, it was written and directed by Tina Gordon Chism who directed ATL & Drumline which were also pretty good. Peeples was pretty much just a African American take on Meet the Parents and it was decent flick. I guess the other reason I like it is because David Allen Grier is criminally underrated as a comedic actor in my opinion.
Anyway, what was I thinking, it's associated with Tyler Perry so it must be shlock.
I think the idea for summer movies is usually the habit of getting big large movies full of action and explosions and mindless T & A stuff, not the usual drama movie from a ''classic'' novel.
Has nothing to do with the book or the story, it's the timing where I agree it might've done better in the fall or around the holidays of X-mas.
Gatsby was a pretty daring and bold move by WB but it's a simple case of counter programming with IM3 being the big and basically only guy in the block and it paid up in spades.
Saw IM3 for a 3rd time. The movie just gets better and I'm glad to see it didn't take a dive for the second weekend. That's was a pretty damn good hold considering its huge opening.
Can't believe I'm saying this but with IM3 and MOS coming Star Trek feels almost like an afterthought. I'm hoping it's really good but for some reason I'm bracing myself for disappointment based on the reviews I've read.
Oh btw we should mention that IM3 is up to 949 million worldwide to which we all should say even all the butthurt haters
i also liked Gatsby. Especially since I didnt remember anything about the story since I read it in High School, so i was like, "Oh this is a pretty good story!".

Fresh Cut Collective, Klassik, Unifi Records, Blax & more from SXSW 2014
South by Southwest 2014 kicks off its music shows tomorrow, and Milwaukee will be representing in full force. With the MilwaukeeHome stage showcasing more than 25 Milwaukee artists in one day and even more artists performing on their own, 2014 is poised to be the best year yet for Milwaukee representation at SXSW.
Neither Jank nor myself had the energy to go down to Austin ourselves, so we outsourced our work to other people who actually work. Fresh Cut Collecitve, Klassik, Unifi Records and Blax have been kind enough to agree to live blog their entire trip and showcase it on our blog. More artists will join soon, so hopefully we can get everything you need to see. This will be a first hand account of what the SXSW experience is all about, without the holograms. »Read Full Blog Post

Eau Claire writer Nickolas Butler launches 'Shotgun Lovesongs' here Tuesday
Eau Claire writer Nickolas Butler visits Milwaukee's Boswell Book Company Tuesday to launch his debut novel, "Shotgun Lovesongs" (Thomas Dunne). He arrives with some significant wind in his sails.
" 'Shotgun Lovesongs' is about a hometown in Wisconsin and the close band of friends who will always feel its magnetic pull," explains Janet Maslin in her New York Times review of the novel. "One of the friends is a rock star, and Mr. Butler didn't have to make that up. He went to high school with Justin Vernon, lead singer of Bon Iver. And it doesn't hurt for a book about a poky farm community to have a rock star lodged somewhere in its collective history." »Read Full Blog Post

What a story! I especially like that your cross trainer has a rack. Is that for snacks? Yep, I have some bike.
Re: Bike GalleryThe rack is for the Beto child seat that I never had any successful desire to fit to the other bikes.
Since the pantry isn't too far away the child seat can go on this rack, maybe sideways mounted so our 10month old boy can look out the window instead of bouncing backsides. My goal for the year is to have ridden every keeper bike to work 40km round trip. Only two that haven't yet Fat Sand Bike (no front brake, fine for sand, not for road) and the Street Strider for lack of prep. I will take it for a test ride to the local shops for bread/milk to get some road handling experience. A small fear of the double cardio workout is popping my ticker on a big climb, then having to do the ultimate walk of shame to nearest intersection to wait for an ambulance.

Re: Bike GalleryI can't - I'm waiting on my mate to build it, he's got the tools to do it.

Re: Bike GalleryGood one milkracer, I do like a nice single speed bike.
Here's my bike with it's new wheels- Been doing a bit of tweaking today, cranked up the tension release on the pedals and put non-floating cleats on my shoes. Also, the other day I changed the angle of my handlebars. I might have to do a bit of reading to do with cleat positioning. After a bit of mucking around I think I got the positioning right though.

A couple of very high-profile Mammoth players in the Hot Creek lawsuit remained invisible in last month's $30 million judgment against the Town of Mammoth Lakes.
Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and its CEO, Rusty Gregory, were left unscathed – not even mentioned. This is in spite of the fact that at the beginning of the case, in 1997, both MMSA and Gregory himself were caught in some nasty crossfire.
They still are, in a sense.
When the case first was filed, both Gregory and MMSA were named as defendants, along with the Town.
However, the presiding judge in 2005 said the suit should not lump the ski area and Gregory in with the town, and he pulled them from the case.
Hot Creek responded with an astonishing, separate action against MMSA and Gregory, suing them to the tune of $185 million, arguing that both interfered with the Town Council and the Hot Creek developers.
Hot Creek based its case on the principle of "tortious interference," which occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships.
"The position we took," Gregory said this week, "was that first of all, we didn't get in the middle.
"We were very involved, but we didn't interfere with the contract between the town and Hot Creek.
"We were trying to facilitate an agreement among all of us, including the FAA, so that Hot Creek and the Mountain and air service would work out for everybody.
"It was complicated, so I'm not blaming anybody on the outcome one way or the other; nor am I blaming Hot Creek."
Also, Gregory said the case for him and MMSA was based in First Amendment rights.
The sheer amount of the lawsuit, Gregory's team held, was that it qualified as a strategic lawsuit against public participation – a so-called SLAPP case.
A SLAPP case is a retaliatory lawsuit intended to silence, intimidate or punish those who have used public forums to speak, petition or otherwise move for government action on an issue.
Gregory's team fired back with an "anti-SLAPP" motion.
"That's a protected First Amendment right – that any of us have – that we have the right to petition our government," he said.
Gregory's team filed the motion challenging the principles of the case, and when the court agreed to hear the motion, the Hot Creek litigants dropped the case against Gregory and MMSA "without prejudice."
"That means, pending the outcome of the Town of Mammoth Lakes case, they (Hot Creek) could, at their discretion come back and start the suit again."
Currently the Town is appealing the $30 million judgment to the California Supreme Court.
"It's a little bit like a case within a case," Gregory said.

Romance is a funny thing: you hear about it, read about, and dream about it, but it always seems to elude you... until it actually happens, in a way you never imagined it, and knocks you off your feet! At least, that's how it seems to feel to young Ayumi and her friends, all just entering the eighth grade. One by one, they discover that love is infectious and you can catch it from anyone! Now Ayumi's torn between two brothers, Koyoi has an altogether different kind of brother issue, and budding theatrical impresario Sumire seems ready to do anything to land her leading man.
Then there's tom-boy Rika, aspiring artist Nao, Kei, who's very "mature" for her age, and older girl Misaki who really is more mature. Oh, and the guys? They're just as clueless and entangled in the complex web of relationships that's called growing up!

Bright Lights, Dynamic Content
While dining at a Chicago-area restaurant last month, my sister experienced a first: A wine list was handed to her in the form of an Apple iPad. "Interesting," she thought. "It's easy to change and they don't have to reprint it." A graphic designer friend of mine, meanwhile, spotted digital menu boards inside a Burger King fast-food restaurant. This same friend has seen similar types of electronic signage in movie theater concession stands, complete with animated, bubbling images of Coca-Cola, which amazed her but didn't faze her video-game savvy seven-year-old son.
At a municipal board meeting in Oswego, IL, a far western suburb of Chicago, a digital-vs.-traditional signage debate was quickly squelched. It was a no-brainer, said trustee Gail Johnson: "Either pay $40,000 for a fancy electronic sign or $1,800 for the regular kind." Taxpayers in town can rest assured that elected officials chose prudently for the sign marking their new Village Hall building. But the e-technology is not as cost-prohibitive as it was 10 years ago—some 75 percent less in the case of digital billboards, which fetched a steep $1 million in 2002 but dropped to a more palatable $250,000 or so by 2010. To recoup their ROI, operators such as Clear Channel Outdoor charge customers anywhere from $2,500 up to $7,000 a month to advertise on an LED billboard. Eyeballs, or views, are what they're paying for, from under a half a penny per eyeball up to as much as 30 cents per person.
Those pennies have added up to profits welcomed during the US economic recession and subsequently slow recovery. "One operator told me that although digital makes up just four percent of his inventory, it accounts for nearly 50 percent of his revenue," blogged Darrin Friskney, director of Watchfire Digital Outdoor.
Marco Boer, VP of digital print research consultancy IT Strategies, explained how, "strategically placed at bottlenecks and heavily congested areas such as the highway through San Francisco, digital displays have an opportunity to reach more than 875,000 people daily. Even areas with low populations such as White Plains, NY (56,000) have high commuter presence (200,000)." (Read more about this study here.)
The electronic billboard market in the United States grew in excess of 150 percent (CAGR) between 2006 and 2009, reported IT Strategies. Forty-one states and many large cities now support the use of high-efficiency, light-emitting diode (LED) billboards, which operate using far less energy. Energy requirements for some boards have been cut in half in just two years, reported DigitalSignageToday.com. As LED has moved in, liquid-crystal display (LCD) flat-screen technology was noticeably absent at the SGIA 2011 show last autumn, Boer observed.
Three and a half years ago, there were a little more than 500 electronic billboards out of an estimated 450,000 total billboards in the US. Today, there are approximately 2,500. "That's pretty impressive for a product that's disrupting a 150-year-old industry," Friskney noted in his blog last November. And I.T. Strategies predicted that the installed base is likely to grow to between 12,000 to 16,000 units in the US over the next three years, said Boer, accounting for some 3.5 percent of all billboards installed.
Many local communities still fight the aesthetics battle, of course, arguing that billboards of any kind "junk up" their roadways. Yet struggling governments are looking for ways to raise money in a volatile economy. In addition, there are ongoing safety concerns about who is distracted more by electronic billboards, teenagers or senior citizens. At speeds of 55+ mph, statistics show that drivers looking away from the highway for more than two seconds—either down at text messages on their smartphones or up at color-calibrated, digital LED billboards—take a deadly risk no matter their age.
"While over 96 percent of billboard locations will continue to be printed billboards in the US market through at least 2015, electronic billboards will become more ubiquitous," IT Strategies' Boer wrote. "The driving factor is the ability to provide more advertisements in the same space, increasing the revenue utilization of that space, followed by a reduction in labor costs. Factors holding back more placements and conversion from printed to electronic billboards will eventually not be hardware cost and return on investment [ROI], but mainly outside factors, such as regulatory and community opposition."
Commuters, Shoppers <3 Interactivity
It's not just Valentine's Day that got people in the mood as they traveled by train through London, England, last month. Unilever's Dove beauty brand also spread a little love and happiness throughout the usual frenzy at Victoria Station, which has a daily footfall of around 350,000 people. Beginning February 13, commuters saw a different question each day on the large-format Transvision screen, inviting thoughts and reflections on the beautiful women in their lives. Visitors were encouraged to text or tweet their responses, which then were displayed on the screens for all to see. The brand engaged commuters to answer questions such as:
- Who is the most beautiful woman in your life?
- What makes you feel beautiful?
- What puts a smile on your face?
Dove brand ambassadors spread the love even further by sharing small gifts relevant to each day's question, surprising and delighting commuters throughout the station. To celebrate Valentine's Day, commuters were asked, "What do you love about your Valentine?" and were presented with a beautiful white tulip inviting them to share the flower with the women who light up their lives.
The campaign, booked by Kinetic and Mindshare, created by Billington Cartmell, ran on JCDecaux's Transvision screen through Feb. 19. The campaign was delivered via Grand Visual's OpenLoop platform, which allows clients and agencies to manage live social media feeds from their desktop and publish them instantly across digital out-of-home formats.
"We hope the engagement and interactive nature of our campaign will bring a smile and a moment of Dove's warmth to Londoners during their daily commute," said Unilever's Jocelyn Hsieh, senior brand development manager on Dove Global. James Byard, account director for Kinetic, added, "As well as being a great demonstration of the dynamism available in the out-of-home medium, Dove's campaign is a great show of what can be achieved when a creative is so relevant to an environment."
For use inside stores, Reflect Systems, Inc. released its ReflectView 6 rich-media software suite last month, making it easier for businesses to customize, manage, and transmit content seamlessly on any scale, said the company. The upgraded version features developments in content and channel tagging, preview capabilities, and distribution. ReflectView was originally introduced in 2005 and has since been employed by more than 20 major brands, businesses, and retail chains, including BestBuy, Target, GameStop, and Verizon Wireless Its digital media network has been used to manage more than 250,000 screens throughout the United States and Canada, powering in-store media ranging from digital signage for merchandising to interactive applications.
New to ReflectView 6 is an in-depth tagging system that allows users to apply descriptive tags and rules to individual files, playlists, and channels, resulting in more efficient content management, according to the company. The tagging system ensures the right messages are experienced in the right way and helps to streamline the content-management process in a number of ways:
Usage rules create safeguards that prevent unfavorable combinations of files, playlists, or channels such as landscape files played on portrait video screens or standard-definition files displayed on high-definition channels. A tiered rule system also allows users to see whether a particular file is "recommended," "allowed," "not recommended," or "prohibited" for a particular channel or playlist and sort accordingly. Descriptive tags make it easy to search for content that meets specific criteria.
ReflectView users now have the ability to preview content (videos and playlists) in the ReflectView Publisher as well as through a link-sharing feature that allows individual content files and full playlists to be accessed from desktops, laptops, tablets, and "smart" mobile phones—and experienced in the same way as at a website. This new feature has been designed with efficiency in mind as multiple viewers can preview and comment on content quickly without the hassle of access restrictions or content quality concerns.
With the next-generation ReflectView 6, users have an even greater pool of data and metrics at their disposal for requesting reports. Content playback can now be evaluated using even more specific parameters including location/classifications, content tags as well as date range and content type, said the company. Access to these new report parameters allows users to provide all manner of playback reports sliced and diced to meet any reporting needs.
Reflect has also added two distinct content delivery features to version 6 designed to complement its scalability and provide greater control over management of content streams. Users are now able to employ "interrupt mode," which pauses transfers mid-stream to allow content to be inserted for rapid delivery, and "prioritization mode," which allows the sender to place content at varying priority levels within the transfer queue.
Tracking Digital ROI
The ability for marketers and advertisers to measure their ROI looms large in the digital realm—and it's a big part of the reason that Coloredge New York - Los Angeles recently entered into a partnership with YCD Multimedia, an industry leader in digital signage and digital-merchandising with a platform of software applications. YCD's products enhance the evolving in-store customer experience by seamlessly integrating retail and communications applications, making the firm an ideal partner, said Coloredge NY- LA. A key component of YCD software is its ability to monitor ROI. By tracking sales data for a specific product or campaign, clients are able to determine the success of digital promotions and decide how to immediately boost profit. "YCD Multimedia's sophisticated, real-time data analytics combined with dynamic content provided by Coloredge's interactive team results in high-impact digital media with a measurable return on investment," said Christopher Searson, Coloredge VP of creative services.
Coloredge works closely with clients every step of the way to offer a completely customizable and scalable digital marketing strategy, providing display placement and in-store architecture as well as content creation and management. In addition, YCD offers patented technology, including the YCD|Player, an integrated onsite audio/video player; YCD|Platform for remote media distribution and management; and hardware products such as the MuVi videowall that can synch up to 12 screens on a single player, enabling customers to display up to 12 zones of video content, individually or stretched across a single "canvas." YCD's recent acquisition of C-Nario (another global leader in digital signage) offers complimentary technology that addresses an expanded market, ranging from retail chains to major venues.
"Through our partnership with YCD Multimedia, Coloredge has positioned itself to deliver even more efficiency for our clients' brand messaging through a highly impactful convergence of traditional print and dynamic digital media," said Don Uzzi, CEO of Coloredge.
Ziv Levavi, senior director of US operations at YCD, added, "As the print industry continues to evolve, digital signage provides for an innovative access to customers through a varied platform that combines digital displays, analytics, and interactive elements that were formerly unavailable. The synergy between YCD and ColorEdge creates a digital marketing application tailored to enhance traditional graphic production for many verticals."
2 Shows Focus on Education
At this month's ISA International Sign Expo (March 21-24 in Orlando, www.signexpo.org), a track of courses devoted to the rapidly expanding field of digital dynamic signage has been developed in conjunction with the Digital Signage Foundation. Topics include business and technical aspects as well as building vendor partnerships. These are among the 75 courses covering 13 distinct tracks offered as part of the educational lineup at the annual show, which features some 1,900 exhibitors and draws nearly 20,000 attendees. "Throughout the four days of Sign Expo 2012, there will be opportunities to learn the latest technical skills and management practices as well as ways to grow and expand business," said Lori Anderson, ISA president/CEO.
Also this month (March 6-9), the Digital Signage Expo 2012 (DSE) is set to convene in Las Vegas. Co-located with the Interactive Technology Expo and Digital Content Show, DSE bills itself as the world's largest international tradeshow and conference dedicated exclusively to digital signage, interactive technology, and digital out-of-home networks.

Great win by the Cyclones today!
Needed it. FTs!!!!
Great win. But my goodness, what is wrong with our free throw shooting? I'll give them a pass for road games, but in Hilton?!?! Come on.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
Amazing game by Clyburn!
Needed this one. Bring on Okie State!
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
Great win. Now to face a dangerous OK State team.
Nice bounce back win. The boys played well overall.
Unpossible. I was told the season was over on Wednesday night. We weren't going to win another game, Lucious and Clyburn were lazy, that we might as well just quit. That must mean that K-State is even worse than TT.
Chuck Lidell: I paint my toenails with pink and black polish. Problem is, I get more paint on my toes and on the carpet than on my nails. Any advice? Maria Sharapova: Don't you beat up other guys for a living? I don't know how to answer this.
Great win. Had to have it. Clyburn just kept having answers, great game, dude was everywhere. KL was great I thought. Niang being Niang....but Babb really gives us a chance in these games, totally dominating MacGruder....AGAIN. Babb owns that guy.
This should be called *** Official I Feel A Lot Better Than I Did For The Past 3 Days ***
Great win. I didn't think we'd lose coming into the game...but I knew it was a possability. We missed 12 FTs and still won by 6 points. That's a good and bad thing...but bad mostly IMO. Have to get back to making those! We could have won by double digits if we would have made them.
Soooooo net gain on the week? Big wins usually trump bad losses in the eyes of the selection committee.
Next game is going to be tough too...IMO that's a must win too.
A home win doesn't even out the loss to a terrible TTech team. We need an unexpected road win to do that. Maybe that will come Wednesday, but Stillwater has never been kind to ISU.

Developer has plan for five parcels off Manchester's Elm Street
379 Elm St., Manchester, NH
Oak Leaf Homes, LLC is seeking road discontinuances of several small street sections that divide the parcels, which are at 387, 379 and 409 Elm St. and 584 and 624 Willow St.
Ronald Dupont, the president of Oak Leaf, had originally sought discontinuances for Elm Street Back, an alley-like road between Elm and Willow Streets, from Grove Street to Summer Street, which also now functions as an alleyway.
They voted to table the matter until they can gather more information and abutters can have their say.
Prior to the site visit, Mayor Ted Gatsas raised concerns that if the discontinuances were not approved, it "could be two years" before another road hearing is held.
Dupont has not outlined the scale of the project or whether it would be retail, residential or commercial, or a mix of uses.
"In order to start architectural plans, I need a footprint for the building," he said at the site Tuesday.
85-home subdivision
Also on Tuesday, the aldermen approved a petition to discontinue a network of "paper streets" off Wellington Hill Road for an 85-home subdivision in the northeast part of the city.
Tuesday's vote took place on a shuttle bus that took the aldermen to the two sites.
Alderman-At-Large Joe Kelly Levasseur joked after the vote that the streets in the future development had to be named after the aldermen on the bus.

VOLUME 15, NUMBER 26_THE COLDEST MONTH__FEBRUARY 17, 1987 Written comments still being accepted Ordinance 44D hearings attract a good-sized audience Proposed changes in the Tribes' hunting and fishing regulations earned the attention of over 200 people -- the approximate combined attendance at three public hearings held earlier this month to discuss Ordinance 44D. A lot of the faces at the Feb. 4 meeting in St. Ignatius and the Feb. 9 meeting in Pablo belonged to non-members. A third meeting was held on Feb. 5 in Elmo and was conducted at times in the Kootenai language. Reaction from Tribal members to the proposed regulations seemed "tamer" than a year ago, when the ordinance itself was being proposed. Back then, a number of Indians protested the need for any regulation of hunting and fishing, which were rights guaranteed them by treaty, they said. Tribal officials pointed out that those activities weren't individuals' rights so much as they were Tribal privileges. Unregulated use of the privileges could easily lead to abuse by an unscrupulous few, it was warned, which in turn could lead to federal intervention, as occurred on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming earlier in the decade. In addition to self-regulation, the ordinance and the subsequent reg- ulations were revised as "basic housekeeping", in the words of a Tribal attorney, to consolidate some 17 additions to the original law, Ordinance 44B. The few Tribal members who made spoken comments at the Mission and Pablo meetings had somewhat specialized remarks. Lucille Otter, for example, asked that more beavers be put in the Liberty Meadows area so the fishing there could be improved. She'd also like to see the area off-limits to future trapping. She commented too about the introduction of non-native species to the Reservation environment such as raccoons and seagulls which is prohibited by Tribal law now. Joe Finley asked whether or not « (Concludes on page tw Timber workers needed for referral list ON ?

CEO's Private Investigation (HBR Case Study and Commentary)
Joseph Finder, Harry Brandon, Christopher E. Kubasik, James B. Comey, Eric A. Klein, William J. Teuber
Publication Date:Oct 01, 2007Discipline:Social EnterpriseSource:Harvard Business Review Case Discussion |
Product number:R0710A-HCB-ENG Length:12p |
English Hardcopy Black & White
Also Available in:
English Hardcopy Black & White | $ 6.93
This HBR Case Study includes both the case and the commentary. For teaching purposes, this reprint is also available in two other versions: case study-only, reprint R0710X, and commentary-only, R0710Z.
When new CEO Cheryl Tobin arrives at Hammond Aerospace, she picks up a faint scent of corruption. But if her predecessor broke the rules, her executive team isn't talking. Cautious about damaging reputations over nothing, she hesitates to make her concerns public. Is a private investigation warranted? Four experts comment on this fictional case study written by Joseph Finder, a best-selling author of corporate thrillers. Harry Brandon, an international business-intelligence specialist, helps firms get to the bottom of affairs like this one. Meticulous evaluation of documents and tactful tapping of insiders are crucial, he says, for determining whether laws have been violated. In a quarter of cases, there's no fire behind the smoke; in the rest, he finds flames. Christopher E. Kubasik and James B. Comey, of Lockheed Martin, offer Cheryl advice from the real-world aerospace industry: Go first to the vice president of ethics or, absent one, the folks who run the internal audit organization. Wherever that leads her, Cheryl's top goal should be to send a clear message that hints of wrongdoing will not be ignored. Eric A. Klein, a lawyer at Katten Muchin Rosenman who advises corporations and their boards, has a cardinal rule: Manage the process, not the crisis. He says Cheryl should find out how previous matters of ethics were handled at Hammond. She must also assess her legal responsibilities, weighing the potential costs and benefits of an inquiry. William J. Teuber, Jr., of EMC, says Cheryl should tap the wisdom of the board chairman, who has just recruited her. If an investigation is warranted, Teuber argues that external lawyers are best equipped for the job and that Cheryl should not keep digging for dirt on her own.
learning objective:
In this fictional case study, a new CEO suspects that the firm's high-level executives used bribes to obtain foreign business. She must decide whether to initiate an investigation. The reader will consider issues such as whether she should inform the board, whether she is legally required to launch an inquiry, and how to control damage to the company's reputation during an investigation.
subjects covered:
Business ethics; Crisis prevention; Cross cultural relations

Theoretical Modeling of a Thermophotovoltaic System
Mattarolo, G., Bard, J.ISET, Institut für Solare Energieversorgungstechnik, Kassel
Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) is an emerging technology based on the direct conversion of thermal radiation coming from a heat source into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. The first target for the TPV research is to break the threshold of 10% of efficiency, which would allow to start the commercialization of such technology in different applications.
Defining and simulating a theoretical model of a TPV system is fundamental in order to develop and optimize a new TPV prototype. The target of ISET is to develop a theoretical simulation model of a whole TPV system.
COMSOL Multiphysics Modeling is used to realize such comprehensive model of the system. Most of the work will be concentrated on the simulation of the heat transfer phenomenon in the recuperative micro channels heat exchanger and on the laminar diffusion flame in the burner. Besides these processes, the transmission of the radiation, the photovoltaic conversion and the cooling of the PV cells will be investigated in order to couple these phenomena and realize a simulation model of a complete TPV system.
In the first part of the paper the authors give an overview of this new technology and in the second part illustrate the approach to the modeling work with FEMLAB, showing the actual results of the simulation.

It was about wether German text ought to be composed in blackletter or rather in Roman type, a question upon which even Goethe, Schiller and other period celebrities got grey over time. However, blackletter type remained alive and has just recently seen an astonishing renaissance. More…

Daily operating costs are impacted by the BTUs for the product, heating requirements, and the price of pellets.
The amount of heat produced by a heating appliance is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs). One BTU represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 lb. of water by 1 degree F. Generally, more BTUs correlate to greater heating potential. However, the amount of BTUs needed to heat a specific area varies, based on climate and home efficiency.
