Reflecting the shipping industry's continued trend in the adoption of energy efficient equipment which reduces lifecycle costs, Carrier Transicold reported that its PrimeLINE® container refrigeration unit has surpassed previous records, selling nearly the same number of units in 2011 as in the prior three years combined.
"For four successive years, the PrimeLINE unit has outsold all competitive models, and 2011 – a record year for the industry – accelerated this trend," said David Appel, president, Carrier Transicold.
Appel credited the PrimeLINE unit's success with its industry-leading efficiency, which responds to the market's need for more sustainable solutions. Carrier's ThinLINE® unit, the historic market leader, also surpassed previous-year sales in 2011.
"When Carrier introduced the PrimeLINE unit in 2007, we set a new benchmark for efficiency," Appel said. "The timing was right for shipping lines of all sizes, as the new reality of uncertain and ever-climbing fuel costs took an increasingly large toll on their bottom lines. With fuel prices again approaching record levels, the need for energy efficiency is as essential as ever."
Over the years, Carrier has received significant orders from Maersk Line, Evergreen Line, Hamburg Süd, Chiquita, Dole, Crowley Maritime, Arkas Shipping and Transport and many others in the shipping, leasing and exporter sectors.
The PrimeLINE unit's exceptional efficiency – thanks in part to its efficient digital scroll compressor – significantly reduces on-board power generation requirements, helping shipping lines save fuel used in the generation of electricity. This, in turn, helps hold down operating costs and reduce emissions related to power generation. The PrimeLINE unit reduces carbon emissions 28 percent compared to previous units.
As fuel is the leading component of ownership cost over the life of a unit, energy efficiency helps to keep the total cost of ownership low.

Israel: Justice Minister tables bill to allow same-sex civil unions
Post your comment

Reader comments
Odd that Israel recognises same-sex marriages performed outside of the country but not for its own gay citizens.
One of my favorite Israeli politicians. Pro equality and pro peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
"the religious standards for marriage, […] is currently the only criteria recognised by the State of Israel"
And yet they're always banging on about being the Middle East's only secular democracy. Yeah right.
The fact that israel is a secular country means the bIll will be considered. I dont remember seeing those new and renowned democracies Libya , Tunisia and Egypt doing this. And that well known secular democracy Iran will have civil unions as its first order of business under its new President
There is more chance of Elvis Presley returning to Earth in a flying saucer, landing on the Loch Ness Monster then riding off on Shergar than Iran's new President Rowhani decriminalizing homosexuality, let alone allowing civil unions in Tehran!
You're acting like having a better human rights record then Iran is some sort of crowning achievement. Iran is a hellhole, but that doesn't raise my opinion of Israel at all.
Indeed, Israel is probably alone among "Western democracies" in having no form of secular civil marriage at all. On the other hand, that seems perfectly in line with places like Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Yes and Israel funded by the USA are the biggest terrorists in the area. Like I'd believe anything they stand for. Killing and depriving others of basics is what it stands for and most of the world agrees.
It'll be fun to have married gay couples in the middle east.
She might have some trouble with that. Only 40% of Israelis (including under 30s) accept the gay community according to YNet. Less than Greece (53%) and Poland (42%). This is despite dubious Israeli boasts about Tel Aviv being a Levantine San Francisco.
what a moronic piece of proposed law from country that is famous for denying democracy to others i mean why would you settled for same-sex civil union when you can have marriage
The Israel Parliament will just vote this down – like they did with the same-sex marriage bill last year!
Go Tzipi Livni! You'll need time, patience and über luck with those conservatives.

LARCHMONT, N.Y. -- Larchmont Avenue Church Preschool has earned accreditation again from the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
The preschool has been accredited since 1992 and this is the seventh re-accreditation. To earn NAEYC accreditation, the preschool went through an extensive self-study process, measuring the program and its services against the ten NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and more than 400 related Accreditation Criteria, representatives said.
"We're proud to have earned the mark of quality from NAEYC, and to be recognized for our commitment to reaching the highest professional standards," said Joyce Guimaraes, director of the preschool. "NAEYC Accreditation lets families in our community know that children in our program are getting the best care and early learning experiences possible."
The preschool received NAEYC Accreditation after an on-site visit by NAEYC Assessors to ensure that the program met each of the 10 standards. For more information about NAEYC Accreditation, residents can visit the NAEYC website.

With only six contestants left, three performance shows to go, and $5 million to be awarded, the competition heated up on last night's THE X FACTOR on FOX. This week the Top 6 performed twice, an unplugged song and The Pepsi Challenge song which was chosen for them by fans.
Broadway's Carly Rose Sonenclar chose to take on Justin Bieber's "As Long as You Love Me" for her unplugged number and wowed the judges with her vocal abilities. "I love you so much," said L.A. Demi concurred saying, "you sang it better than Justin did." Simon predicted, "I am seeing a star emerge," and Britney was proud with a capital "P!
For her Pepsi Challenge song, the young singer performed Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy". Said L.A., "every time you step onstage I get nervous because I know you're going to be very, very good." Demi's only criticism was that she would have preferred something more 'up-tempo' but Simon quickly countered, "Don't listen to a single word that this one [Demi] just said."
Check out both performances below!
Tune in tonight at 8/7c on FOX to find out which two acts will go home and for live performances by Ke$ha and Melanie Amaro.
Sonenclar has appeared on Broadway in Les Miserables and Wonderland, and has also taken the stage in NYMF's The Night of the Hunter (2006) and the national tour of Little House on the Prairie the Musical.

Welcome to Florida, Can I Interest You in a Shady Hedge Fund?
Riptide is not much of an economist, then again who is these days? But, if I'm following the logic correctly, the reason we have so many tax cuts and loopholes for the über-rich is because theoretically they're supposed to inject their extra money directly back into the economy and create jobs and the like. Well, apparently instead of that, they seem to have developed a habit of letting their money disappear in Ponzi schemes and other wacky investment schemes, especially in Florida.
Hot of the heels of the Madoff scandal that rocked the world, and more directly West Palm Beach comes the Gulf Coast's version: the Art Nadel scandal.
Nadel lived the high life in sunny Sarasota, and managed six shady hedgefunds that apparently were worth as much as $350 million. 76-year-old Nadel is missing at the moment, possibly planning to commit suicide, and much of the worth of the hedge funds are also M.I.A. Details are sketchy, but some investors may have lost up to $700,000. Local nonprofits which had either invested with Nadel or relied on him for donations are also devastated. The local YMCA, for example, lost approximately 13% of its total assets. Authorities aren't crying "ponzi" just yet, but no one seems to know where the money went or, for that matter, where Nadel himself is.

1864 Copper Cent Striking, No L Dies
1864 1C One Cent, Judd-356A, Pollock-427, Low R.6, MS62 Brown
PCGS. Struck from regular-issue No L dies, but in copper on a
thick planchet and with a plain edge. A dozen or so pieces are
believed known, and this issue is rarely seen with any remaining
red color. In the past some have been identified as having bronze
composition, but they are most likely error strikings. The surfaces
are glossy mahogany-brown and show a couple of grade-limiting ticks
on the cheek. The obverse die is misaligned, causing a railroad rim
between 11 and 3 o'clock.

DeMarcus Ware, coming off an injury-plagued off year by his lofty standards, still has immense respect from his peers.
Ware was announced as No. 12 on the NFL Network's 2013 top 100 list, which is voted on by the league's players. That returns Ware to his 2011 ranking after he jumped up to No. 6 last season.
Ware was selected to his seventh consecutive Pro Bowl last season, when he had 11.5 sacks despite various health issues that included a right shoulder that required postseason surgery and a significant injury to his elbow on the same arm.
It was also Ware's seventh consecutive double-digit sack season, although it was a significant drop from the 19.5 sacks he posted in 2012.
The 30-year-old Ware, who is good against the run and an all-time great pass rusher, already ranks 19th in NFL history with 111 sacks. Reggie White is the only player who was faster to 100 sacks.
Ware was one of three Cowboys to make this year's top 100 cut. The list:

No. 35 Dez Bryant

With another wave of debuts for DC Comics' New 52 — including Batman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Legion of Super-Heroes — comes another round of previews, interviews and assorted articles. Here are some of the highlights.
• Vulture previews the highly anticipated debut of Batman, by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, and chats briefly with the writer about the appeal of the Caped Crusader: "What appeals to me, no matter who's in the cowl, is how Gotham City challenges them. Gotham is almost a nightmare generator, filled with villains that seem to represent an extension of Batman's greatest fears. A lot of his greatest villains feel like mirrors: the Joker is who Batman would be if he broke his rule and fell into madness; Two Face is a mockery of the duality of his life. But what I love about Bruce in particular, and the reason I'm so excited to be doing Batman, is he's a superhero that has no powers. He takes it upon himself to go out every night, punish himself, and be the best out there. To me, that is both incredibly heroic and exciting, but also really pathological and obsessive."

Big Asteroid Tumbles Harmlessly Past Earth
Huntsville AL (SPX) Dec 13, 2012
This week, NASA's Goldstone radar is tracking a large asteroid as it passes by Earth, and obtaining images of unprecedented clarity. "At closest approach on Dec. 12th, asteroid 4179 Toutatis will be 7 million km away or 18 times farther than the Moon," says Lance Benner of NASA's Near Earth Object Program. "There is no danger of a collision with Earth," but the asteroid will be close enough for radar imaging. Asteroid Toutatis is well known to astronomers; it passes by Earth's orbit every 4 years. ... read more

Almost nine out of 10 schools in Christchurch sit on potentially contaminated land.
Environment Canterbury's (ECan) Listed Land Use Register - a database of possible land pollution - shows that 124 schools are on potentially contaminated land.
Of those, 29 have more than one type of potential contamination. Just 22 schools do not appear in the database.
Some of the affected schools will likely require major soil disturbance as part of the Ministry of Education's $1.1 billion rebuild and renewal plans in the next 10 years.
The ministry said it would ''fund any testing, removal and disposal of contaminated soil''.
About 70 per cent of the affected schools were possibly exposed to ''persistent pesticides'' - chemicals sprayed on sports fields to combat weeds, diseases and insects. The chemicals can remain for long periods and many have been banned for years.
Four schools make the database because their sites were landfills before the schools were built, one school site was subject to ''waste disposal to land'' (essentially a landfill without a hole in the ground), and one school site may once have been a treated timber storage yard. About 26 per cent of the schools stored chemicals, mostly diesel for furnaces.
Canterbury medical officer of health Dr Ramon Pink said it was ''very unlikely'' the level of contamination would be high enough to result in any health issues.
ECan strategic programmes manager Don Chittock said best practice with contaminated land was to leave it in its current state.
''If it's got good coverage - whether that's grass, asphalt, concrete or buildings - and you don't have to disturb it, don't,'' he said.
Pupils coming in from playgrounds should follow common hygiene practices - wash their hands and wipe their feet, he said. Vegetables from school gardens should be thoroughly washed.
The Ministry of Education hired consultant URS to advise which schools will get tested and when.
Kim Shannon, the ministry's head of education infrastructure service, said earthquake repairs had been done at most schools but no land remediation had been required.
ECan identified school sport turfs almost entirely from aerial photographs taken about once a decade from the 1940s. Few schools have been tested further.
ECan land contamination team leader Davina McNickel said land use only had been identified.
''We don't know if all of these sports turfs had sprays used. It's not a helpful exercise to alarm people unnecessarily until we know for certain. So what we've said is use the commonsense precautions."
The 124 schools stretch from the south bank of the Waimakariri River to the north shores of Lyttelton Harbour.
The west boundary of the study area runs through Halswell, Templeton, Yaldhurst and Mcleans Forest.
Schools were added to the database as part of a larger ECan programme in which about 11,000 homeowners were informed in May that their land may potentially be contaminated.
The caution about sports fields is broader than schools and includes council-owned sport pitches, rugby and cricket club grounds, bowling clubs, golf courses and other grass sport areas.
Christchurch Rudolf Steiner School is on a former landfill and the special character school in Opawa had tested extensively for methane and other toxins since 2012, principal Thomas Proctor said.

Spain is considering granting permanent residency to Saudi businessmen and investors in a bid to attract more investments from the oil-rich Gulf kingdom.
Saudi-Spanish Council president Abdullah Al-Rasheed said enticing wealthy Saudis to invest in the debt-laden European country could help it recover from its ongoing economic crisis.
Spain's economy was one of the hardest hit during the 2008-09 recession and it is still struggling to recover, with an estimated 25 percent of the population unemployed.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil producer, is awash with cash.
Al-Rasheed said many Saudi businessmen were investing their spoils in Spanish real estate, industry and contracting and had expressed their desire for Spanish residency.
He said Spain welcomed the idea and it was being considered by the government. Under one proposal, Saudis would be granted permanent residency if they owned properties in Spain worth more than 380,000 euros ($499,000).
Al-Rasheed said he expected the Saudi request to be approved ahead of the next meeting between the countries in Madrid on September 18.

The great soda bread debate
Purists will argue that there should be only four ingredients in Irish soda bread: flour, baking soda, buttermilk (or sour milk) and salt.

Purists will argue that there should be only four ingredients in Irish soda bread: flour, baking soda, buttermilk (or sour milk) and salt.
Add anything else – sugar and raisins being the biggest offenders – and your loaf may be delicious but it won't be traditional.
Setting the record straight is the mission of Ed O'Dwyer, who created the Society for the Preservation of Irish Soda Bread website and accompanying Facebook page, with 1,184 members and counting.
Just how serious is he?
"I'm not about to start an underground terror group over it," O'Dwyer jokes on the phone from his home in Alpharetta, Ga. "I am serious in that you need to know what the tradition of something is."
O'Dwyer gets the most hits on his seven-year-old website, and the bulk of media queries, in the week leading up to St. Patrick's Day.
"It shocks some people to learn that St. Patrick wasn't holding a slice of Irish soda bread in one hand while he drove the snakes out of Ireland with the other," writes O'Dwyer on www.sodabread.info. "Soda bread came along after St. Patrick in the mid 1840s when bicarbonate of soda (bread soda) as a leavening agent was used in Ireland to work with the `soft' wheat grown there."
Soda bread was a quick, affordable bread that uses baking soda instead of yeast for leavening.
The irony, O'Dwyer says, "is that the people who make the biggest mistakes are the descendents of those who left during the famine before soda bread was introduced."
He blames these mistakes on people wanting to "get back to their roots," who find recipes that aren't authentic. He points in disgust to a March 8 story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that includes a "Traditional Irish Soda Bread" recipe with the four proper ingredients plus raisins, sugar, butter and eggs.
"It's nice to know we are enjoying the benefits of the modern age and are able to put all these fancy things in soda bread," says O'Dwyer, who was born in England to a British army father and Irish mother, and spent his early years in Ireland.
"Even though it's a very simple recipe, you've got to get it right or it's not going to taste good," stresses O'Dwyer, whose website offers several versions.
O'Dwyer's quest for simplicity is shared by actor Andrew McCarthy (St. Elmo's Fire, Pretty in Pink, Weekend at Bernie's), who writes in Bon Appétit this month about his recent soda bread quest in Ireland.
"More and more, nuts and seeds and God-knows-what-else are finding their way into the mix and changing the traditional recipes," McCarthy laments. "But I'm having none of it. I like my soda bread the old-fashioned way – firm, a little crumbly, and with that slightly sweet aftertaste that lets you know there's baking soda in there."
In Toronto, soda bread can be found at Irish pubs. There are two kinds at the new Quinn's Steakhouse & Irish Bar in the Toronto Sheraton Centre (owned by Gavin Quinn, whose family runs the Irish Embassy and P.J. O'Brien).
Executive chef Paul Pisa created one version that became an instant hit in the bread basket and as a popular appetizer under house-smoked salmon, red onion, capers and lemon juice. The only problem: it includes sugar, butter, eggs and baking powder.
Quinn asked Pisa for a bread more akin to the one he was weaned on.
"Quite a lot of people like the sweet one, but I prefer the traditional one myself," says Quinn. "It was a staple part of growing up."
Pisa turned to cookbooks and the Internet, and quickly realized there are thousands of recipes out there. "The only consistent thing is that they use baking soda," he notes.
We chat in the kitchen of Quinn's, where Pisa has promised to make a loaf from scratch.
"It'll probably be anti-climactic, it'll go so fast," says the chef who trained under Mark McEwan and Keith Froggett and has been personal chef to Heather Reisman and Gerry Schwartz.
Anti-climactic, perhaps, but inspiring. Soda bread is meant to be quick, affordable and easy. There's no yeast, no kneading and no rising involved. Pisa bakes his in a long rectangular pan, but advises home cooks make rounds loaves on baking sheets or pizza stones.
He'll make 1,000 sweet and 100 traditional loaves this week.
Marie Frawley, a close friend of the Quinn family, believes "there's nothing nicer than a loaf of homemade Irish bread out of the oven. It's gorgeous with butter. It's lovely with cheese or jam. The way I really like it is with smoked salmon."
Frawley doesn't get too fussed about authenticity, figuring "it depends on where you're from." She doesn't add sugar or butter (because "it doesn't need it"), but may add "just a little bit of baking powder" to raise her loaves a bit more.
When asked why people cut a cross into the loaf before baking, she replies: "Gosh I'd have to ask my husband, even though I'm Irish."
"So you can cut it in quarters," hollers husband Terry in the background.
Other theories are that the cross "lets the fairies out" or "wards off evil/lets the devil out."
"I'm not sure how the devil got into a loaf of bread though," says O'Dwyer.
Brock Shepherd, chef-owner of The Burger Bar in Kensington Market, isn't Irish and isn't bound by tradition, but he created a St. Patrick's Day special to serve this week.
Twenty bucks gets you organic beef stew with soda bread, a 1-ounce shot of Lucky Charms-infused Irish whiskey and a pint of Guinness (you can buy these items separately). "I just went online and tried a few recipes," Shepherd says of his soda bread. "Mine has whole wheat flour, wheat germ, wheat bran and oats. It's a brown soda bread or something. It's a little heartier."
A "soda bread or something" – that sounds about right.
As Pisa put it: "I don't think, at the end of the day, that there is a right or wrong way. As long as you use soda and you cut that cross, you're good to go."

Desk Chat | Your Downtown with David Krietor
Posted on 7/29/15 by David Krietor » No Comments
David Krietor has served as CEO of the newly-formed Downtown Phoenix, Inc. ("DPI") since April 8, 2013. In that time, he has begun work with community stakeholders to develop the downtown we want. "Your Downtown" shares his thoughts and DPI's progress with the downtown community and beyond. Read the other chats here.
What's the go-to place when out-of-town politicos, like Martin O'Malley, Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, and Elizabeth Warren, find themselves needing much larger space to hold their public events? Why, the Phoenix Convention Center, that's where. It's great to see our convention center recognized for "hitting its stride" in the world's leading news and online resource for the trade show, exhibition, and event industry. Congratulations and thanks to Convention Center Director John Chan and his team for being a connected member of our downtown community.
Traveling from Tempe into Downtown Phoenix earlier this month I counted nine large construction cranes. A number of factors are contributing to this urban building boom. One of the most important is that more people – across the nation and around the globe – want to live, work, go to school, and play near public transportation. This makes passage of Proposition 104 in Phoenix critical to our future as a vibrant urban city. Click here to read a few more of my observations about Prop 104. Our mayor, Greg Stanton, weighs in on the matter in this Arizona Republic op-ed.

Wire | Investment in Light Rail Spurs Economic Development
Posted on 7/29/15 by DPJ Staff » No Comments
DPJ's Wire series delivers news and information straight from the source without translation.
From restaurants to residential development, more than $8.2 billion in private and public capital investment has been built near the initial 20-miles of light rail that extends from Phoenix and Tempe into Mesa. Another $346 million in commercial and residential building is being planned, most of that from private developers.
"Big things are happening in Phoenix because of light rail, and big things are going to continue to happen," said Mayor Greg Stanton. "Light rail has been transformative for our downtown and our economy. With it we've linked jobs, education, arts and culture in a way that would not have been possible otherwise."
Phoenix and Tempe mayors made announcements on Tuesday at Phoenix's DeSoto Central Market, an adaptive re-use bar, market and food court that intentionally chose their site due to proximity near the Roosevelt/Central Avenue light rail station.
"Investment in transit does more than improve neighborhoods; it improves lives," said Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell. "More than $3.4 billion has been invested in Tempe around light rail since construction began in 2005. Everyone benefits from public transportation."
Economic Development along 20-Mile Light Rail
Number of Projects: 204
Capital Investment – Private: $ 5,989,639,864.00
Capital Investment – Public: $ 2,241,737,632.00
Total Investment: $ 8,231,377,496.00
SF Commercial/Office: 10,327,168
SF Public: 938,737
SF Education: 4,698,902
SF Residential: 5,666,863
# Residential Units: 15,328
# Affordable Units: 1,300
# Hotel Rooms: 2,948
Economic development within one-half mile of the system has been stimulated by ridership that has exceeded original projections. Valley Metro began compiling development activity since construction started in 2005 as part of an economic development database. The original $7 billion investment had included projects that were proposed. The updated $8.2 billion includes projects completed or under construction. With the 3.1-mile Central Mesa Extension set to open in less than four weeks, there is an added $90 million in private and public development that occurred since construction began in June 2012.
Downtown Culinary Creatives Offer Fresh Tastes at Ripe Awards
Posted on 7/21/15 by April Atwood » No Comments
Creative hands often find themselves bound for some newer incarnation of New York City, be it Portland, Denver, or an unclaimed corner of Austin, Texas. But next week, five local chefs and one Scottish bartender will show you exactly why, when it comes to the culinary arts, Phoenix is the preferred destination for some of the most creative minds in the industry.
The 2015 Ripe Awards, to be held this Saturday evening at the Phoenix Art Museum, will honor local chefs for their edible feats and unmistakable contributions to the Arizona culinary scene. For the first time since the awards were created, the public was invited to submit nominations for their favorite culinary artists, which were then reviewed by judges from the Arizona Republic and Phoenix Art Museum and Men's Arts Council.
The explosive growth of downtown Phoenix, coupled with a local community that wants the diverse food options to match their growing city, has caught the attention of talented entrepreneurial chefs from around the world, and resulted in the eclectic range of food options we currently enjoy. And according to award recipient Stephen Jones, it's never been a better time to be cooking in Phoenix.
"In the 8 years that I've been here, right now it's at all time high … with some of the local chefs doing their own thing," he said.
Chef Stephen's impact on downtown can be felt the moment you walk into the DeSoto Central Market, where he not only heads up yard bird + the larder, but also manages the menus for DCM Burger, Walrus & the Pearl, and Tea & Toast Co.
After coming to Phoenix for love, he stayed for the food. And after getting familiar with the local food industry and meeting a few influential chefs, he saw the potential and decided to stay.
"And for the golfing. I love to golf," he added.
Chef Stephen will be joined by local chefs who are making a name for themselves with dishes your palette will recall fondly.
Chef Lori Hashimoto of Hana Japanese Eatery, Chef Cullen Campbell of Crudo and Okra, Chef Jeff Kraus of Crepe Bar, and Chef Scott Holmes of Little Miss BBQ, where carnivorous impulses are set loose upon the world.
As a special bonus, this year will also feature the first ever bartender recipient, Bitter & Twisted's principal barman and proprietor Ross Simon, whose precious Gaelic soul serves up dreamy adult beverages to the thirsty masses.
The Ripe Awards were the brainchild of the Men's Art Council, a non-profit organization that works to support the Phoenix Art Museum through community events. Men's Art Council member and Chairman of the Ripe Awards, Kenneth O'Connor, says the amount of talent present in the Arizona cooking scene right now is overwhelming, and he can't wait to celebrate these five chefs and amazing mixologist.
"The valley just seems like it's exploding with all these restaurateurs," he said, and whittling those many talented chefs down to five was incredibly difficult. But thanks to the public submission element of this year's awards, the council felt they were more in tune with the chefs who were actively making an impact in their local communities.
"These are folks, who through their talents and their efforts, are getting the valley noticed as a food destination. And they're also people who are looking to carry the torch to the future, and create a synergy here in the valley," he added.
Attendees can expect of night of incredible flavors spent in the company of some of the most beautiful art in Phoenix. The main attraction will be the chefs, who will each offer tastings of their signature dishes, and winning mixologist Simon will be paired with Arizona Distilling to create alcoholic magic.
The event will also feature live music, local wineries and breweries offering samples, bread supplied by Noble Bread, a silent auction, and according to O'Connor, "a little surprise."
The awards ceremony will take place at the Phoenix Art Museum this Saturday, July 25, at 7 p.m. where bites and drinks will take place, and many a wandering craving will be satisfied.

20 Years After Srebrenica, Phoenix to Hold First Ever 'Walk to Remember'
Posted on 7/10/15 by Lauren Potter » 1 Comment
Members of the Bosnian and downtown Phoenix communities will gather at Civic Space Park Saturday to begin a "Walk to Remember" for the 20-year commemoration of the Srebrenica genocide.
The event will be the first of its kind in Phoenix, and will highlight some of downtown's symbolic public art sculptures communicating the event's message of peace, patience and healing.
"The walk will begin at Civic Space Park, under the Janet Echelman sculpture, 'Her Secret is Patience,'" said Suad Mahmuljin, one of the event organizers. An active member of the downtown Phoenix community, Mahmuljin and his family were forced to flee their homeland, Bosnia and Hercegovina some 23 years ago.
Echleman's woven aerial sculpture has become a civic icon, known for it's subtle fluorescent glow in Phoenix's dark night sky. According to Mahmuljin, the billowing structure provides an appropriate starting point for the walk, which will finish at the Burton Barr Central Library.
"(Echelman's) sculpture really speaks to patience," Mahmuljin said. "When tragedies like Srebrenica occur, patience is a virtue one must exercise."
"Patience and healing go hand-in-hand," he said.
While the "Walk to Remember" could be held anywhere within the community, Mahmuljin chose downtown Phoenix for its unique context.
"Downtown Phoenix is important because it is the nucleus of where activity happens," Mahmuljin said. "There are cultural and artistic expressions in the downtown environment that you wouldn't necessarily find in a suburban environment."
Another such expression is made from 8.5 tons of metal and required a great deal of patience to fund.
"Release the Fear," which serves as the second stop along the walk, is a sculpture by local Phoenix artist Robert Miley. According to the sculpture's inscription, it is comprised of 8,000 pounds of weapons used in violent acts throughout Arizona and it took 10 years to source funding for the project.
"'Release the Fear' speaks to gun violence and how it harms our community," Majmuljin said.
With more than 8,000 people put to death over a three-day period in Srebrenica starting July 11, 1995, Amela Gračanin, one of the original event organizers wants people to learn from this tragedy.
"The walk is to bring awareness," Gračanin said. "Where we came from, what we went through, and to make sure that everyone is focused on what really matters in the world."
"We are doing this for the people of Bosnia, our people," Gračanin said. "It's kind of a healing process for us."
"(The event) is for us to never forget, so it never happens again."
Mahmuljin and Gračanin are not alone in their mission to encourage awareness through peace, patience and remembrance.
Author, psychiatrist and concentration camp survivor, Esad Boškailo, is the event's keynote speaker. For Boškailo, his involvement with this historic event goes beyond obligation.
"With (my involvement in) any event like this, I do not even question myself," said Boškailo. "I feel it is my duty."
As well as practicing psychiatry, Boškailo is also an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Arizona. After surviving six concentration camps, Boškailo has experienced the depths of loss and tragedy and wants to give back.
"I feel that it's time for me to give back to society," Boškailo said.
"I came from a place where everyone took everything away," said Boškailo who lost almost everything, including his house. Many of his friends and family members were killed.
"I lost my best friend, my cousin, my aunt," he said.
Event organizers emphasize that everyone in the wider Phoenix community is invited to join the historic "Walk to Remember." Commemorative t-shirts will be available to purchase and wear on the day of the event the event.
All proceeds will go to the provision of basic necessities for families of Bosnia and Hercegovina. Boškailo's own organization, the Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences is helping to make this possible. People may also make donations through the event's GoFundMe page.
When: Saturday, July 11
Walk: 8:30 a.m. at Civic Space Park 424 N Central Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85004
Commemorative Program: 10:00 a.m. at Burton Barr Central Library, 1221 N Central Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85004

Christine Mackay Takes Bold Steps for Phoenix's Economy
Posted on 7/09/15 by Jill Bernstein » No Comments
On October 26, 2014, Christine Mackay started as the Director of Community and Economic Development for the City of Phoenix. It's a big job overseeing several large divisions. She served in the same role for the City of Chandler for six years, but a city the size and complexity of Phoenix is a whole new challenge. We sat down with her to discuss her first ten months on the job and to learn what's next.
DPJ: How do you see your role within the City of Phoenix?
CM: My role is to recruit companies and recruit the workforce that attracts those companies. My job is to help create the quality real estate that they want, a workforce that they want, an educational system that they want, and then they can't say no.
For me, first it's been about cataloging all of the assets that exist and really understanding those assets. I grew up here, I've been here my whole life, but I only came into Phoenix to go to GPEC meetings or a basketball game and then I went back to my suburb. No joke.
Two weeks before I got the call from Paul Blue asking me to coffee, my city council in Chandler was interested in looking at adaptive reuse on some of the old buildings in Chandler. Phoenix had done such a brilliant job with their adaptive reuse that we took a bus tour to see what had been done. I got to see Angels Trumpet, the Vig, Cibo, the Duce, and Luci's Market. I got to see all this stuff and I went, 'I've lived here my whole life, how did I not know this was here?'
Now, all I can think about is Phoenix. It's a dynamic, exciting, cool market, and it just needed help telling its story. So many people are beginning to understand and tell the story: brokers, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, etc. and doing a remarkable job. It's become much more than just a local story, it's getting national play and national attention.
DPJ: What is your approach and what steps have you taken so far?
CM: My approach is to 'take no prisoners.' This is a big, bold, vibrant city and it needs to take big, bold, vibrant steps. This is the sixth largest city in the country and it wasn't competing as the sixth largest city in the country. So, in the beginning it was about getting a marketing plan done, getting our website done, and getting our strategy set.
This isn't a 'fire, ready, aim' situation, this is very strategic. We got our website done so that it was more attractive to site selectors, corporate real estate executives, thought leaders, and decision makers. We also made it very attractive to that knowledge workforce that wants to find a new place to live.
DPJ: Tell us a little more about that knowledge workforce and what's attracting these people to Phoenix.
CM: I represent all 517 square miles of Phoenix, but the central city is our unique environment, it is the heart of metropolitan Phoenix. When you look at the way things are going, where a workforce wants to live, where a workforce wants to be, where they want to evolve – it's in an urban environment. The days of a large house with a pool and a backyard in a suburban market are few and numbered. People want to connect in lifestyle. They're tired of spending their weekends taking care of their yard and their house. The central city offers an incredibly vibrant lifestyle that the suburbs can't duplicate.
DPJ: How do you see the connection between Downtown and other parts of the central city, for example, Midtown?
CM: Let's look at Midtown. When I started, the commercial vacancy rate in Midtown was 38% and now it's 23%. It's a nine million square foot market, so that means we've brought in 1.3 million square feet of tenants in just 10 months. By the end of the year we will be into the teens.
Midtown has been a kind of 'red-headed stepchild' of the central city. Downtown has sports, the central government, CityScape, the Orpheum, etc., but no one had really cataloged the assets in Midtown. It's just as unique as Downtown, and just as cool as Downtown. Where Downtown is hip, vibrant, cutting edge, thought-leading, sports-minded and fun, Midtown is just a little bit more sophisticated. It's arts, culture – the Heard Museum, the Phoenix Art Museum, the Opera. The two areas complement each other incredibly well.
DPJ: What are the city's plans for Midtown this next year?
CM: We have money in the city's CIP (Capital Improvement Program) budget for 2015-16 for Midtown to really engage and connect with Central Avenue, and with the 3rd Street Promenade. Currently the buildings along Central, which were mainly built in the 60's, 70's and 80's, turn their back on Central, but that's not the way buildings succeed today.
The city is looking for ways to make those connections, including public sidewalks that go right up to the entrances of the buildings; crosswalks in mid-blocks so people don't have to go all the way down to the next light to cross to the other side; small landing places with shade; and comfortable seating spaces. For the 3rd Street Promenade, which is anchored by Steele Indian School Park on the north, we're focused on creating shade and trees and making it both walkable and bikeable.
DPJ: What about the northern end of Midtown and into Uptown. How would you describe what is happening there? Where do you see the boundaries?
CM: Any developer would say Midtown goes between the 7s from McDowell to Camelback. So to me, Midtown stops at Camelback and then Uptown starts on the north side of Camelback. When you go into Uptown, you go into a much more suburban market that includes single story houses, and ranch houses with big lots and mature trees.
But look at the area around the Camelback and Central intersection, with all the activity that's going on there today, like Vintage Properties (Uptown Plaza), the Newton, the BMO building. There's just so much.
The city owns a little strip of land in that area near the light rail station, on the western side of the empty triangle parcel at the southwest corner of Camelback and Central. We're going to put out an RFP to dispose of it. Starting in July and August we're going to hold neighborhood meetings in that area to let everyone know what will be happening on that site.
In addition, the developer who owns the southwest corner is looking at some new development plans for there. The neighborhood had some opposition to what he'd wanted to do before, so he's really scaled it back to make it more palatable, but the neighborhood will need to have their input, so we'll see what they say.
DPJ: We've heard that there is a comprehensive parking concept being developed. Can you tell us about this?
CM: When I got here the thing I kept hearing from the brokers and the building owners was that they couldn't bring companies down here because they couldn't park them. These buildings used to have 300-500 square feet per person and park at two to three per thousand. But, today, even the financial institutions only have 170 square feet per person in their new model and you've got to be able to get five to seven per thousand in your parking to make it work. And, until the central city is the favored darling of urban development, we're still competing with places like Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Austin, Denver, and Salt Lake City. Places where they can surface park for free.
We have a lot of vacant space – 2.6 million square fee. of vacant space between Midtown and Downtown. And we don't want to just fill the buildings, we want to bring the right companies with the right work force. To attract these companies we need temporary solutions until public transportation becomes more common place. We're getting closer and closer to that, but in the interim we have to provide places for these people to park within four minutes of their building or the companies won't look at you.
We decided to catalog all of the parking in Downtown and Midtown: everything from Buckeye to Camelback and between the 7s. Now, when a building owner calls and says 'I can do this lease but I need 200 parking spaces for five years,' I can say 'here's six places within a four minute walk where you can buy parking and here's who you can call.' And they do.
We've now done six transactions where we've helped people find parking. We're going to the city council in September to ask permission to post private transaction information on a public website. Then we will be able to post all of the contacts for all of the buildings, along with rings around the buildings to show a four minute walking distance, and information on who to contact to lease parking in those areas.
Over time we won't need as much parking, because people will get so used to mass transit that it will do what it is intended to do. But, we're not there yet because we don't have all the mass transit connections. As time goes on and we finish making those connections, everyone, or at least a great proportion of people, will move around by mass transit.
DPJ: Are you taking a similar approach to parking in the Roosevelt Row/Evans Churchill area?
CM: In Roosevelt Row for certain….I'm working with Councilman Nowakowski to identify some city-owned sites where we can get some parking up for the next three-to-five-year term while we figure out a structure and what needs to go there. Businesses will die if we don't get them some parking by end of summer; it's a 'now' priority.
DPJ: What are the main challenges/opportunities you see coming next?
CM: More parking is the challenge that we need to overcome first. It will be a game-changer. Then, I believe what you'll see next is downtown pushing to the south. When you look at the Warehouse District…that's the next cool, hip place. The development of the Warehouse District is going to be amazing. Absolutely amazing.
DPJ: Any final thoughts about your first ten months on the job?
CM: I am so excited. There's so much opportunity. The city has done an amazing job since 2007-2008 in driving downtown development, but the vibrancy of downtown really changed with the Super Bowl. Our own citizens in metro Phoenix got on light rail to come downtown for the Super Bowl events and figured out how cool that part of town is.
So, that's what we've been doing for the last 10 months: setting the stage for what we want to accomplish and putting the tools in our tool belt to say 'now we're ready, let's go!'
