Experience Classical Music Live
Northwest Sinfonietta is a nationally acclaimed chamber orchestra of the highest caliber that performs in Seattle, Tacoma, and Puyallup. What is a chamber orchestra? Well, it's a smaller ensemble of 30 – 40 musicians that plays much of the same music as a symphony orchestra (typically 70 – 80 musicians). The genius of the chamber size is that you experience music in a much closer fashion; while symphony orchestras can produce an impressive "wall of sound," a chamber ensemble allows you to hear each musical line and phrase with greater intent and transparency. The result? You get to enjoy both the power of live orchestral music AND the intimacy of a smaller ensemble, for an unparalleled concert experience. Come be inspired and invigorated! view concerts >

Grizzlies No. 25 pick may be available, like every pick in 20s
Jun 28, 2012, 9:53 AM EDT
This is not a new phenomenon. Every year every team with a draft pick gets calls about trading that pick. But this year there seems to be more teams willing to listen. Starting with the Bobcats at No. 2 every pick seems available for the right price, and once you get into the 20s there…
Coach Krzyzewski sticks up for Austin Rivers before draft
Jun 28, 2012, 9:17 AM EDT
Austin Rivers is not the most polarizing guy in this draft – we're looking at you, Andre Drummond — but he's on the list. Rivers has unabashedly modeled his game after Kobe Bryant. That has upside — he has a real drive to score, he has the ability to shoot outside or get inside, he's…

Report: Cavaliers considering picking Dion Waiters at No. 4
Jun 28, 2012, 2:07 AM EDT
There was a time a few weeks ago where we wondered if Syracuse sixth man Dion Waiters was going to get into the lottery portion of the NBA draft. But in recent weeks he has rocketed up draft boards, to the point that Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo is reporting this: The Cleveland Cavaliers' intrigue with…
Jerry West basically says Golden State not taking Drummond
Jun 28, 2012, 1:50 AM EDT
Connecticut center Andre Drummond is one of the great enigmas of this draft. To borrow the Bull Durham line, he's got a million dollar body and a five-cent head. If he matures, his game matures and he brings real effort every night he could be the second best player in this draft. Or, he could…

Sometimes it take a neutral, third party to offer perspective, a party that has no stake in what others might consider manipulation.

Jun 27, 2012, 9:59 PM EDT
Bradley Beal, the young Florida two guard that plays line an Eric Gordon-type, is going to go No. 2 or No. 3 on Thursday night. The Wizards love him at No. 3 and other teams that covet him — hello Cleveland! — will have make a deal with the Bobcats to get into the No.…

Kris Humphries — somehow the most hated man in the NBA, because he married poorly — is a free agent. He can bring 13.8 points and 11 rebounds, some good and efficient production, to the highest bidder. But what Humphries thinks that bid should be and what the rest of the NBA thinks could be…

Baron Davis has a long, long road back. He tore his ACL and his MCL — that's hard to bounce back from if you are 23, not 33 like Davis. And Davis' reputation has not been that of a guy who worked hard at his rehab or through the off-season to keep in top condition…

Anthony Davis will not be highest paid rookie ever
Jun 27, 2012, 11:55 AM EDT
There is a rookie salary scale in the NBA that makes first round-picks very affordable for owners for the first couple years at least, and really four or five for most players. It makes the truly elite players like a Derrick Rose or Blake Griffin a real steal for the first several years they are…

Observations on the internet
Observations on the internet
by Alan Docherty Published
As the search for Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman intensified early this month, journalists, experts and government agreed: the internet was a prime suspect. Suspicions were aroused following a statement by police that a "number of lines of inquiry" had been opened after computers were taken from the girls' homes. These leads were transformed the next day to headlines: "Hunt highlights dangers of the internet" (the Times), "Detectives fear that paedophile lured girls on internet" (Daily Telegraph), "Danger lurking in the chatrooms" (the Guardian).
The general reporting of the chatroom link reached Brass Eye proportions as condemnation of the internet and its reputed lack of regulation made it an easy target. The Home Office used the news to shoehorn in a new law that would target paedophiles who lure their victims over the internet.
The only problem was that the previous weekend, the police had ruled out any chatroom link, or any internet link at all. Yet there was no removing the red herring from the nation's front pages or reducing the momentum towards the government's intended legislation.
The latest chatroom link is only one in a long list of chapters in which the internet has been blamed for difficult social problems. The internet is little more than computers networked with telephone lines, but it has come to assume unrivalled power for corruption. It is responsible for the regrouping of al-Qaeda; credit card details being siphoned off and used by criminals; a rise in hate speech; the expansion of child pornography; the illegal adoption of children; and bringing the recording industry to its knees.
On every occasion that the internet is found to be (or is even suspected of being) implicated in a crime, the usual suspects are dragged into television studios to demand more restrictions. The government is happy to oblige - and when it does so in the name of protecting children, it gets what it wants.
The internet has a reputation for anarchy, but in practice, it is monitored and policed with a vigour that would impress the beat police officer. From the actions of the Internet Watch Foundation to the notorious snooping law (the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act), the internet is fast becoming one of the most regulated media in history.
The internet is not an agent for the corruption of innocents. It is merely a communications tool - indeed, for many, it is the means of communicating news, opinion, statistics and much more. If we allow bogus accusations to taint new technology we risk shutting down a powerful force for good.

Tracy Cogdill
Can you help solve a mystery? I am adding information to memorial pages that I created for Fairmount Cemetery here in CApe Girardeau, Mo. Their records show Tracy Cogdill July 29, 1922 - Dec. 11, 1983 memorial #113404017 is buried here. (Wife Anna L. Watson Cogdill #119895405). You have a memorial page for same person - same dates buried in Illinois and married to Mary Florence Cogdill - his memorial #63644159. do you know which is correct? We have a picture of his military stone on his page here at Fairmount. Thanks for your help. Ruth Smith

Texas coach Rick Barnes has so many good players he is having trouble finding minutes for all of them. Iowa coach Todd Lickliter is looking for anyone that can consistently make shots.
The third-ranked Longhorns look to begin 3-0 for the third straight season Monday night when they meet the Hawkeyes in the semifinals of the CBE Classic in Kansas City.
Barnes spread out the playing time in the first two games, and Texas won by an average of 39.5 points over UC-Irvine and Western Carolina. No Longhorn logged more than 29 minutes in a contest, and 11 played at least 10.
"It's hard to get everybody out there," Barnes said. "I'll tell you this: If guys do their job, they're all going to find a way to get on the court."
That has created a situation in which practices have been the best competition for Texas, which does not play a ranked opponent until meeting No. 6 North Carolina at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington on Dec. 19.
"When you're out there, you have to do everything right," forward Gary Johnson said. "You have to play as hard as possible."
The Longhorns held their first two opponents to 26.8 percent from the field, and that could be bad news for Iowa (1-2). The Hawkeyes shot 32.7 percent in losses to Texas-San Antonio and Duquesne before shooting 47.1 percent in a 68-46 win over Bowling Green on Friday.
Reserve Eric May made all four of his 3-pointers and led Iowa with 16 points. The Hawkeyes made 12 of 25 from beyond the arc after converting 22.2 percent of their 3s in the first two games.
"We just got in a flow," May said. "It's nothing magical. We were comfortable, more relaxed. We weren't worried about the first two games. We were just concentrating on tonight's game."
Lickliter changed his lineup Friday and gave freshman Brennan Cougill his first start in place of Aaron Fuller. Cougill responded with eight points and eight rebounds while Fuller logged just three minutes.
Iowa is led by Anthony Tucker with a team-high 11.3 points a contest. In contrast, the Longhorns have three players averaging more than that and are led by Damion James with 19.5.
Texas has shot well on 3-pointers at 42.3 percent (11 of 26), and is also very strong inside with James, Johnson and 6-foot-10 center Dexter Pittman.
"We've got to pound the ball and make the defense respect that too," James said. "That's what we've got to do."
Iowa leads the series 2-1, with Texas winning 68-59 on Nov. 23, 2005, in Kansas City in the last matchup. This is the third time in six years that the teams will meet in November.
The winner will play Pittsburgh or Wichita State in the championship Tuesday.

Hauppauge N.Y. – June 17, 2008 – Audiovox Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX). Audiovox has long been an advocate for child safety as evidenced by its support of KIDS AND CARS and its established line of professionally installed collision avoidance and rear observation systems designed to protect children from backover accidents.
The Company has now taken that product to a new level by announcing its 'No Excuses' $129.00 retail, Do-It-Yourself Installation Wireless Color Monitor and Back-Up Camera System, Model ACA250. Tom Malone, President of Audiovox Electronics Corporation, stated, "This new product is just what we are calling "No Excuses." By removing the need for professional installation and bringing the retail down to an affordable price there is simply no excuse for any SUV, truck or car owner to not have this important accessory on their vehicle."
Malone continued, "We didn't skimp on the features to make the price affordable. This system has one of the widest viewing angles on the market. At 110 degrees our color camera easily beats the competition's 72 or 90 degree models. Exclusive infrared LEDs give the camera 'night vision' making the view significantly clearer even in complete darkness."
Metal brackets as well as a full metal camera housing provide maximum durability. The wide-angle view completely eliminates the need for up and down manual adjustment and the IP66-rated camera means it is designed for even more extreme yet everyday conditions like "car wash" water pressure and is completely dust-proof. Installation is a snap as the camera is powered from the back-up lamp. The monitor plugs into the AC adapter or can be hard-wired.
"For years we have supported KIDS AND CARS and their commitment to the Kids Transportation Safety Act of 2007. Between now and the time that the newly passed law mandating back-up sensors takes effect, we want to make sure that no more children die in these senseless accidents. We have the products today, they are easy to install and are affordable so there are simply no excuses," Malone concluded.

With data from the nearly 6,000 households in the Nepal Living Standards Survey of 2010–11, this paper finds that the mean reduction in household firewood collection associated with use of a biogas plant for cooking is about 1,100 kilograms per year from a mean of about 2,400 kilograms per year. ... Vea más + This estimate is derived by comparing only households with and without biogas in the same village, thus effectively removing the influence of many potential confounders. Further controls for important determinants of firewood collection, such as household size, per capita consumption expenditure, cattle ownership, and unemployment are used to identify the effect of biogas adoption on firewood collection. Bounds on omitted variable bias are derived with the proportional selection assumption. The central estimate is much smaller than those in the previous literature, but is still large enough for the cost of adopting biogas to be significantly reduced via carbon offsets at a modest carbon price of $10 per ton of CO2e when using central estimates of emission factors and global warming potentials of pollutants taken from the scientific literature.

Central place theory predicts that agglomeration can arise from external shocks. This paper investigates whether gold mining is a catalyst for proto-urbanization in rural Ghana. ... Vea más + Using cross-sectional data, the analysis finds that locations within 10 kilometers from gold mines have more night light and proportionally higher employment in industry and services and in the wage sector. Non-farm employment decreases at 20–30 kilometers distance to gold mines. These findings are consistent with agglomeration effects that induce non-farm activities to coalesce in one particular location. This paper finds that, over time, an increase in gold production is associated with more wage employment and apprenticeship, and fewer people employed in private informal enterprises. It also finds that the changes arising from increasing gold production are not reversed when large gold mines shrink. However this pattern cannot be ascribed unambiguously to agglomeration effects, given an increase in informal mining after formal mines decrease output is also observed. Ver menos -

Large-scale deployment of renewable energy technologies, such as wind power and solar energy, has been taking place in industrialized and developing economics mainly because of various fiscal and regulatory policies. ... Vea más + An understanding of the economy-wide impacts of those policies is an important part of an overall analysis of them. Using a perfect foresight computable general equilibrium model, this study analyzes the economy-wide costs of achieving a 10 percent share of wind power in Brazil's electricity supply mix by 2030. Brazil is in the midst of an active program of wind capacity expansion. The welfare loss would be small, 0.1 percent of total baseline welfare in the absence of the 10 percent wind power expansion. The study also finds that, in the case of Brazil, production subsidies financed through increased value-added tax would have superior impacts on welfare and greenhouse gas mitigation, compared with a consumption mandate where electricity utilities are allowed to pass the increased electricity supply costs directly to consumers. These two policies would impact various production sectors differently to achieve the wind power expansion targets: the burden of the mandate falls mostly on electricity-intensive production and consumption, whereas the burden of the subsidy is distributed toward goods and services with higher value added.

India has a relatively low carbon footprint. A steadily declining carbon intensity over the last decade will further contribute to reduce climate change through voluntary actions. ... Vea más + By 2020, 1,452 to 1,620 million tons of CO2e are projected to emit only from the power sector due to the increase of power demand. Further efforts on the introduction of renewable energies or reduction of the demand have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions against business as usual scenario. Energy efficiency measures must be also promoted and brought up to a scale that permits significant reductions in energy intensity of India's GDP growth. India intends to propose the following market readiness components: (i) market based instruments beyond a renewable energy certificate mechanism for off-grid renewable and net-metering; (ii) expansion of the Perform Achieve and Trade; and (iii) a mitigation plan to clean up the Ganga river basin. This paper includes components of the technical building blocks of market readiness and role of market instrument(s), and a summary of market readiness priority areas for partnership support.

This paper analyzes the dynamic effects of rate-of-return regulation on firms' emissions compliance behavior when the price of emissions permits is uncertain. ... Vea más + The paper shows that uncertainty regarding the price of permits would motivate a regulated firm to adopt a more self-sufficient strategy and would reduce the cost-effectiveness of emission allowance trading. When allowance transactions are treated as capital investments, uncertainty could reverse the classic Averch-Johnson effect, so that a regulated firm would purchase fewer permits in the ex ante period than its unregulated counterpart. These results are driven by the asymmetric impact of a price change on the expected marginal value of allowances under rate-of-return regulation. A wider variation in the permit price and a decline in the regulated rate of return would amplify the asymmetry. These results have implications for the efficiency of the proposed global carbon trading system. Ver menos -

The South Asia region is lagging behind many regions in the world in regional electricity cooperation and trading, despite the huge anticipated benefits. ... Vea más + This study uses an electricity planning model that produces optimal expansion of electricity generation capacities and transmission interconnections in the long-term to quantify the benefits of unrestricted cross-border electricity trade in the South Asia during 2015–40. The study finds that the unrestricted electricity trade provision would save US$226 billion (US$9 billion per year) of electricity supply costs over the period. The ratio of the present value of benefits, in the form of reduction of fuel costs, to the present value of increased costs due to generation and interconnection would be 5.3. The provision would reduce regional power sector carbon dioxide emissions by 8 percent, mainly because of substitution of coal-based generation with hydro-based generation, although regional emissions would be well above current levels absent other policy interventions. To achieve these benefits, the region is estimated to add 95,000 megawatts of new cross-border transmission interconnection capacity. Ver menos -

Ratings for the Clean Energy for Climate Mitigation Project for Maldives were as follows: outcomes were satisfactory, the risk to development outcome was significant, the Bank performance was satisfactory, and the Borrower performance was also satisfactory. ... Vea más + Some lessons learned included: the project design should incentivize (rather than penalize) the team to make adjustments when circumstances change, and take on an appropriate level of risk with concessional funds. A risk-based approach should be followed, where significant thought is given to each risk being considered and appropriate levels of training and exposure is needed to prepare the government, implementing agencies and the public for this. The Project's experience shows the importance of managing risks by choosing mature, well tested technologies. For a project targeting reduction in fuel consumption from RE based generation, the robust and accurate measurement of fuel consumption and real time power generation is very important. As complexity increases, and the level of technical expertise required increases (with hybrid technologies and increasing levels of solar-PV penetration), more expertise is needed to strengthen each aspect of the PMU chain – but particularly contract management (with multiple vendors) and understanding of technology, both on the RE and conventional side. ME for such pilots should extend well beyond project implementation so that post commissioning glitches can be sorted out, and there is a sufficient amount of time to measure actual results rather than use extrapolation and other approximations to measure the achievement of results indicators.

It has been more than two decades since the widespread initiation of global power sector reforms and restructuring. However, empirical evidence on the intended microeconomic, macroeconomic, and quality-related impacts of reforms across developing countries is lacking. ... Vea más + This paper comprehensively reviews the empirical and theoretical literature on the linkages between power sector reforms, economic and technical efficiency, and poverty reduction. The review finds that the extent of power sector reforms has varied across developing countries in terms of changes in market structures, the role of the state, and the regulation of the sector. Overall, the reforms have improved the efficiency and productivity in the sector among many reforming countries. However, the efficiency gains have not always reached the end consumers because of the inability of sector regulators and inadequate regulatory frameworks. Reforms alleviate poverty and promote the welfare of the poor only when the poor have access to electricity. From a policy-making perspective, this implies that the reforms need to be supplemented with additional measures for accelerating electrification to help the poor. Ver menos -

South Asian countries, facing challenges in efficiently meeting growing electricity demand, can benefit from increased cross-border electricity cooperation and trade by harnessing complementarities in electricity demand patterns, diversity in resource endowments for power generation, and gains from larger market access. ... Vea más + The region has witnessed slow progress in expanding regional electricity cooperation and trade, and undertaking needed domestic sector reforms. Although bilateral electricity sector cooperation in the region is increasing, broader regional cooperation and trade initiatives have lagged in the face of regional barriers and domestic sector inefficiencies. Deeper electricity market reforms are not a necessity for further development of cross-border electricity trade, but limited progress in overcoming regional and domestic barriers will limit the scope of the regional market and the benefits it can provide.

This paper estimate the effects of collective action in Nepal's community forests on four ecological measures of forest quality. Forest user group collective action is identified through membership in the Nepal Community Forestry Programme, pending membership in the program, and existence of a forest user group whose leaders can identify the year the group was formed. ... Vea más + This last, broad category is important, because many community forest user groups outside the program show significant evidence of important collective action. The study finds that presumed open access forests have only 21 to 57 percent of the carbon of forests governed under collective action. In several models, program forests sequester more carbon than communities outside the program. This implies that paying new program groups for carbon sequestration credits under the United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation in Developing may be especially appropriate. However, marginal carbon sequestration effects of program participation are smaller and less consistent than those from two broader measures of collective action. The main finding is that within the existing institutional environment, collective action broadly defined has very important, positive, and large effects on carbon stocks and, in some models, on other aspects of forest quality.

A significant portion of the world's forests that are eligible for Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, known as REDD , payments are community managed forests. ... Vea más + However, there is little knowledge about preferences of households living in community managed forests for REDD contracts, or the opportunity costs of accepting REDD contracts for these communities. This paper uses a choice experiment survey of rural communities in Nepal to understand respondents' preferences toward the institutional structure of REDD contracts. The sample is split across communities with community managed forests groups and those without community managed forest groups to see how prior involvement in community managed forest groups affects preferences. The results show that respondents care about how the payments are divided between households and communities, the severity of restrictions on firewood use, the restrictions on grazing, and the fairness of access to community managed forest resources as well as the level of payments. The preferences for REDD contracts are in general similar between community managed and non-community managed forest resource respondents, but there are differences, in particular with regard to how beliefs influence the likelihood of accepting the contracts. Finally, the paper finds that the opportunity cost of REDD payments, although cheaper than many other carbon dioxide abatement options, is higher than previously suggested in the literature.

This paper uses a randomized experimental design with real-time electronic stove temperature measurements and controlled cooking tests to estimate the fuelwood and carbon dioxide savings from an improved cookstove program in the process of being implemented in rural Ethiopia. ... Vea más + Knowing more about how households interact with improved cookstoves is important, because cooking uses a majority of the fuelwood in the country and therefore is an important determinant of greenhouse gas emissions and indoor air pollution. Creating local networks among stove users generally appears to increase fuelwood savings, and among monetary treatments the most robust positive effects come from free distribution. The paper estimates that on average one improved stove saves approximately 634 kilograms of fuelwood per year or about 0.94 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, which is about half of previous estimates. Using the May 2015 California auction price of $13.39/ton, the carbon sequestration from each stove deployed is worth about $12.59. Such carbon market offset revenues would be sufficient to cover the cost of the stove within one year. Ver menos -

This paper examines whether cooperative behavior by respondents measured as contributions in a one-shot public goods game correlates with reported pro-forest collective action behaviors. ... Vea más + All the outcomes analyzed are costly in terms of time, land, or money. The study finds significant evidence that more cooperative individuals (or those who believe their group members will cooperate) engage in collective action behaviors that support common forests, once the analysis is adjusted for demographic factors, wealth, and location. Those who contribute more in the public goods experiment are found to be more likely to have planted trees in community forests during the previous month and to have invested in biogas. They also have planted more trees on their own farms and spent more time monitoring community forests. As cooperation appears to be highly conditional on beliefs about others' cooperation, these results suggest that policies to support cooperation and strengthen local governance could be important for collective action and economic outcomes associated with forest resources. As forest management and quality in developing countries is particularly important for climate change policy, these results suggest that international efforts such as the United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation should pay particular attention to supporting governance and cooperation at the local level.

Ratings for the Protected Area Project for Cote dIvoire were as follows: outcomes were satisfactory, risk to development outcome was moderate, Bank performance was moderately satisfactory, and Borrower performance was satisfactory. ... Vea más + Some lessons learned included: dependency on parallel funding to achieve significant outcomes is an important risk factor to be addressed. Conventional livelihood micro projects are not the only elements to be considered to achieve community engagement in park management as long as such engagement measures generate direct benefits to communities. Projects in post-conflict countries need detailed situation and risk analysis. Performance of projects can be improved through incentive-based arrangements for governmental servants. Ver menos -

This paper uses a randomized experimental design and real-time electronic stove use monitors to evaluate the frequency with which villagers use improved biomass-burning Mirt injera cookstoves in rural Ethiopia. ... Vea más + Understanding whether, how much, and why improved cookstoves are used is important, because use of the improved stove is a critical determinant of indoor air pollution reductions, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions due to lower fuelwood consumption. Confirming use is, for example, a critical aspect of crediting improved cookstoves' climate change benefits under the United Nations Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation Programme. The paper finds that Ethiopian households in the study area do use the Mirt stove on a regular basis, taking into account regional differences in cooking patterns. In general, stove users also use their Mirt stoves more frequently over time. Giving the Mirt stove away for free and supporting community-level user networks are estimated to lead to more use. The study found no evidence, however, that stove recipients use the stoves more if they have to pay for them, a hypothesis that frequently arises in policy arenas and has also been examined in the literature.

Vea más + Effective program instruments must carefully consider incentives, opportunity costs, and community interactions. A choice experiment survey was applied to rural Ethiopian communities to understand respondents' preferences toward the institutional structure of the program contracts. The results show that respondents have particular preferences about how Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation programs are structured with regard to the manner in which the payments are divided between the households and the communities, the restrictions on using grazing land, and the level of payments received for the program. Surprisingly, restrictions on firewood collection do not significantly impact contract choice. The paper further analyzes the structure of the preferences by using attribute interaction terms and socio-demographic interaction terms. The analysis finds significant regional variation in preferences, indicating that Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation should be tailored to specific regions. Finally, the marginal willingness to pay for attributes is calculated using the traditional preference space approach, as well as the more recent willingness-to-pay approach. Ver menos -

Nepal depends entirely on imports for meeting its demand for petroleum products, which account for the largest share in total import volume. Diesel is the main petroleum product consumed in the country and accounts for 38 percent of the total national CO2 emissions from fuel consumption. ... Vea más + There is a general perception that the country would economically benefit if part of imported diesel is substituted with domestically produced jatropha-based biodiesel. This study finds that the economics of jatropha-based biodiesel depend on several factors, such as diesel price, yield of jatropha seeds per hectare, and availability of markets for production byproducts, such as glycerol and jatropha cake. Under the scenarios considered, jatropha biodiesel is unlikely to be economically competitive in Nepal unless seed yields per hectare are implausibly large and high returns can be obtained from byproduct markets that do not yet exist. In the absence of byproduct markets, even earnings from a carbon credit do not help jatropha biodiesel to compete with diesel unless the credit value exceeds US$50/tCO2 (which is well above current values) and jatropha seed yield is at or above the midrange of the scenarios considered. Declines in diesel prices from the levels observed in 2009–13 only compound the economic competitiveness issue. Ver menos -

The World Bank is responding well to its clients' demand for financing of transmission and distribution projects. By helping to reduce losses, encouraging the integration of renewable energy, and expanding networks to increase supply, supported projects will improve the financial health of utilities, service for consumers, and economic growth. ... Vea más + Regional interconnection projects, in particular, are lowering the cost of power, boosting reliability and shrinking the reserve requirements imposed on generation systems. Private sector participation and system wide analysis will be the keys to the success of future projects. Ver menos -

Hot New Hotels: Ritz-Carlton Charlotte Now Accepting Reservations
July 29, 2009
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
There's been lots of hype about this new Ritz-Carlton Hotel, billed as "the first luxury hotel in Charlotte." Part of the buzz has to do with its connections to Bank of America, but more than that-- folks are excited about its commitment to sustainable luxury, as the building was constructed in an eco-friendly way for LEED Gold certification. There's a green roof landscaped with living plants, in-room Natura Water Purification System (instead of bottled water), complimentary hybrid-vehicle transportation for guests, and ample storage space for bikes. Staff uniforms feature a fabric made from recycled plastic bottles. Located at the Bank of America Center, The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte will offer a penthouse wellness center/spa. Now accepting individual reservations for stays beginning October 1, 2009, with opening rates starting at $199 per night.
Buzzworthy: Free Bikes with the Park Hyatt's Bike Valet Program
July 22, 2009
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
As we reported last month, Park Hyatt Washington D.C. is now handing out complimentary bikes for guests to take on a spin around the city. We just learned that this "Bike Valet" program will soon be extended to other Park Hyatt properties-- from Sydney to Tokyo, from Chicago to Buenos Aires. Inspired by Lance's recent return to the Tour? Come August, you'll be able to embark on your very own "Tour de Park Hyatt." The concierges will hook you up with a hybrid bike, helmet, lock, city biking map, and bottled water.
Under African Skies: Workshops at Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Retreat
July 17, 2009
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
We've been known to get lyrical about Bushmans Kloof, the luxurious wilderness retreat in South Africa where you can dine in a natural sandstone amphitheater overlooking erosion-carved cliffs and ravines (pictured). Surrounded by the stunning scenery of a Natural Heritage Site, this ecological oasis offers a unique experience in the outdoors. We just got word about three new packages for the fall season that allow guests to explore the wilderness with dedicated workshops. Try your hand at photography with two leading South African photographers at the "Art of Seeing" photographic workshop, available in late August, or learn about the area's 755 indigenous plant species on field excursions with a member of the Botanical Society. Lastly, the "Stargazing Under Cederberg Skies" package gives lessons with a member of the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa.
Buzz: New Luxury Hotels from the Dorchester Collection in England
July 3, 2009
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
We can hardly wait for two new hotel openings from the Dorchester Collection in England next year. Slated for the summer, Coworth Park will be a country house hotel and equestrian center on 200 acres of Surrey parkland near Ascot-- just 40 minutes from central London. Polo fields, archery, pitch-and-put golf, an eco-luxury spa... But most exciting of all: Coworth Park will be one of the most environmentally-friendly properties in the UK, utilizing zero-carbon technologies. Rainwater and surface water will be recycled, and a kitchen garden will provide organic veggies for the table. The goal is to embrace all the latest, cutting-edge technology to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by at least 50 percent. The other addition to the Dorchester portfolio will be in London. Long vacant, 45 Park Lane will be getting a makeover from its er-
unseemly former life as the London Playboy Club. The construction project requires major modifications incorporating eco-friendly technology.

Washington DC has become a very big biking city over recent years. Not only has it been a great way for residents to keep in shape, but it has also proven a great way to explore the city.

New Things Abuzz at Fairmont Washington DC
June 9, 2009
By: Alison Victor
In direct response to the nation's honey bee shortage, and as part of an ongoing environmental program, The
Fairmont Washington DC is now home to 105,000 Italian honeybees. Located on the rooftop of this luxury city hotel now sits three honey beehives, each with one queen bee and 33,000 worker bees. The bees will enhance the Fairmont Washington DC's culinary program, helmed by executive sous chef Ian Bens and executive pastry chef Aron Weber, who will also share responsibility of chief bee keeper. Three hundred pounds of honey is projected to be harvested during the first year of this program, going to use in soups, pastries, and other culinary treats offered at the hotel's renowned Juniper restaurant. The bees came from local beekeepers Larry and David Reece in Germantown, Maryland. The Reeces have been in the "bee business" for over 150 years, and are well respected in the community.
