TUCSON, Ariz. --- The University of New Mexico baseball team got on the scoreboard first, but the Arizona Wildcats had two big innings to win Wednesday afternoon's game at Jerry Kindall Field, 13-5. The Lobos are now 28-10 on the season and return home for a three-game series with #15 San Diego State this weekend.
UNM got on the board first in the second inning, 1-0, when senior Kevin Atkinson scored on a two-out double by junior Adam Courcha.
But Arizona (16-16) put together two big innings with seven runs in the third and six in the fourth to take a commanding 13-1 lead.
The Lobos were able to come up with two runs in the seventh when senior Brian Cavazos-Galvez scored on a Courcha sacrifice fly and junior Justin Howard scored on a single by junior Daniel Gonzalez, 13-3.
In the eighth, junior Cameron Monger drove in sophomore Rafael Neda with a double to right center and scored on a second sacrifice fly by Courcha to get the Lobos to 13-5.
Courcha was just 1-for-2 from the plate with three RBI and two sacrifice flies to lead the Lobos, while Howard had two of the Lobos' 11 hits.
Willy Kesler took the loss for UNM (0-1) in just his second start of the season. Matt Veltmann earned the win for Arizona.
Notes for this weekend:
*Sunday's game time against San Diego State has been moved up to noon.
*SDSU pitcher Stephen Strasburg is expected to start on Friday night. Game time is 6 p.m.
*Friday night is Pack the Park at Isotopes Park. Tickets are $2. Razzle Dazzle will perform at the seventh inning stretch.

The primary aim of this mod is to get away from the current gameplay which for the most part involves spamming tanks. We are introducing gameplay that requires, scouting and using a variety of units to be successful. Tanks are not the do-all units anymore, instead you need artillery units to take out defenses, tanks to take out artillery units, air units to take out the tanks, and AA units to take out air units. It's basically bringing Rock-Paper-Scissors to the game which we believe makes it more challenging and interesting. We're also making the factions' abilities exclusive. By that we mean only Nod use mines (so no APC mine drops) and they are also the only ones that use cloaking technology. The same applies for GDI who use more EMP now etc. We think this better defines the play styles of the factions so that you aren't just playing each faction more or less the same way.
TALON Mod 1.2 has now been released. The third release includes changes to the economy, more upgrades, more effective ground unit AA, more early game stealth options and a new Scrin structure that can allow a player to create tiberium fields or stop existing fields from growing, as well as many other changes.
Posted by TalonH4wk on Dec 31st, 2009
Version 1.2 Overview
In this version we wanted to further refine the upgrades by adjusting the cost to upgrade. In version 1.1 the upgrade costs were set low as we were really more interested in just getting them working at that stage. Upgrades in this version are now more expensive and will affect a players economy much more significantly if they try to upgrade a lot of units at once as well as making players have to think what and when to upgrade. We also added several new upgrades including: Scorpion dual weapons, APC repair drones, Mammoth repair drones, Mammoth speed upgrade, Predator and APC Kevlar Vehicular Armor upgrade (protects from mines), defensive structure upgrades.
The game speed is something we wanted to slow down so that players had more time to plan and build their base in the early game. We made the crane only buildable after the command post was built so as to deter having two build queues early on in the game and we also slowed down the build speeds incrementally according to tier. Tier 3 structures now take considerably more time to build than other structures. The same adjustments were made to units so that tier 3 units now take longer to build. This encourages less spamming of tier 3's or building a second vehicle factory.
The economy was another focus in this release and we decided to cap the refineries and drastically reduce their storage capacity to achieve this. Capping the refineries also helped in Skirmish games where the AI would make excessive numbers of refineries for no purpose. Having an economy cap means that a player cannot ignore his economy and then come back to it and spam units, build expensive structures, upgrade units, upgrade structures all at the same time. Instead there is only so much that can be done with the money in the bank at one time.
AA ground units were given some attention in this version because we felt that they should be a much more effective counter to air units and instead they weren't. The raider buggy and pitbull now receive much greater bonuses to range and damage when they upgrade.
Nod have got to be one of the most interesting factions and we have done a lot to make them play more as Nod already by removing stealth detection from everything in the game except units that specialised in stealth detection. As a Nod player you couldn't go past anything without being detected and that just took stealth tactics out of the game for the most part. Stage 2 having improved stealth detection on units was to improve it on defenses. In this version we have made it so that standard defenses (all non tier 3) do NOT detect stealth by default. They can however upgrade to detect stealth. This will bring the stealth tank into the game much more. Tier 3 defenses still detect stealth by default.
Tier 3 defense upgrades have been added as well. The Sonic Emitter now has a repair drone upgrade, the Storm Column has a mind control upgrade and the Obelisk (which now fires quicker) has a stealth upgrade as well as the mine drop.
Scrin as always require the most attention. We took a close look at Scrin and felt we were heading in the right direction with them but they still needed a lot of work. What stood out to us was that they were still devastating (excuse the pun) once they got to cranking out air units so we had to recognise that they are a strong late game faction but make sure that some hard work goes in to getting them to that point. We had also been looking at the fact that Scrin's tech is largely organic and as such has to grow instead of being simply bolted together. It would therefore make sense that a structure that grows is slower to reach completion than one that is built mechanically. So we slowed the build times down for Scrin structures. All factions received adjustments in build times but Scrin more so. To offset this we looked at the fact that they use portals to deploy units from another location so we made them the faction that can deploy units quicker than any other. Also, due to their relationship with tiberium, we made them have much greater storage capacities so that they can fund a big army late game and we also gave them the Terranexus which allows them to have unprecedented control over tiberium growth and creation.

Various service projects take place throughout the year and are the hands-on application of spiritual life. Students have the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned about giving and caring for others. Students participate in service projects through their advisory groups, their Spiritual Life classes, and the senior-led school wide service project.
Each summer before school begins, the Senior class goes on a retreat and chooses the theme verse and service project for the upcoming year. The class chooses the project for the entire school and it serves as the focus for all fundraising and service for the year.
Autism Speaks was founded in February 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright, grandparents of a child with autism. Their longtime friend Bernie Marcus donated $25 million to help financially launch the organization. Since then, Autism Speaks has grown into the world's leading autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. We are proud of what we've been able to accomplish and look forward to continued successes in the years ahead.
Twice a year, all students and faculty participate in Joe Campbell Service Day. Students leave campus to serve in the community at nursing homes, inner city child-care centers, special education facilities, and other organizations committed to working with the poor and needy. Joe Campbell was a beloved faculty member whose life was characterized by his commitment to serve others.

Oracle Buys Sun Microsystems
After weeks' long rumor mill, the word is finally out: database specialist Oracle is buying Sun Microsystems for around $7.4 billion. This just two weeks after IBM abandoned its bid to do the same thing.
Oracle and Sun announced that Oracle will acquire Sun's stock by the end of the summer, paying $9.40 per share. Oracle expects in the first year of the purchase to add $1.5 billion in adjusted profits with at least 15 cents more per share. They're also expecting $2 billion more in profits the second year.
Particularly interesting for Oracle, at least according to a first statement of the parties, are the Sun freebies Java and Solaris. In their joint statement, they declared that the "Sun Solaris operating system is the leading platform for the Oracle database" and that they can now "optimize the Oracle database for some of the unique, high-end features of Solaris." Oracle CEO Larry Ellison can now claim that "Oracle will be the only company that can engineer an integrated system." What will happen with open source MySQL, which Sun bought over a year ago, is anyone's guess.
The announcement is the first tangible result of the weeks-long takeovergame. The Wall Street Journal had reported that IBM was in talks with Sun, but had broken them off due to the high price set by Sun. No official statement ensued. Oracle was then brought up again in connection with a Red Hat takeover, again with no definite statement of facts to prove it.
Sun's failure was set in the 1990sSun had no hope of survival by the late 1990s when McNeely Locked-in on selling "boxes" and stopped listening to the marketplace. Sun created huge value with Solaris and Java, but had no idea how to capture that value so it just kept doing what it always did. Eventually, the market didn't see the value in the boxes any more, and the value of Solaris and Java had been frittered away. A lesson for any company that it must adapt to market needs or it will be squashed. Read more at http://WWW.ThePhoenixPrinciple.com
hmm...7.4 million or billion?
Gosh who know where that is going to take Oracle!That means Oracle owning OpenOffice, Solaris, MySql, Sun Servers (exaData), all the Storage Management Software, and of course the crown jewel java amongst other Sun technology!
Will that make Oracle the biggest "Software" provider in the world!

President Obama characterized yesterday's vote on the health-care bill as the nation answering "the call of history." This turn of phrase is an accurate depiction of how he and his liberal supporters view both the issue and modern American history. From this frame of reference, health care is just the latest — and by no means last — step toward greater social justice in which the state assumes greater and greater responsibility for the lives of every American. Like unemployment insurance, social security, and Medicare, this bill's purported goal of providing affordable health insurance to every American is seen by Obama and his backers as not only just but also inevitable, much the same way they think of the "New Deal" legislation passed by Franklin Roosevelt or Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society." They are convinced that, like those laws, ObamaCare will soon be seen not as a massive expansion of government power but as yet another chapter in America's inexorable journey to social justice that will transform this law into a sacrosanct element of our political life.
Thus, going forward to the November midterm elections and beyond, the real question is not whether the bill will actually achieve universal health insurance without lowering the quality of care or raising costs; that is an impossibility. Rather, the question will be whether liberals in Congress and especially the media will be able to imprint the idea into the majority of American minds that, however messy its passage was and problematic the details may be, ObamaCare had to be passed and cannot be reversed.
The challenge for conservatives is more than merely pointing out ObamaCare's shortcomings, its enormous costs, and its impact on a huge American industry. The challenge is also more than demonstrating how the health care that ordinary Americans get — and which the vast majority currently think is good — will decline. Conservatives' real job is to attack the liberal narrative. What they must point out is that, rather than the next inevitable step toward greater justice, Obama's "reform" is, in fact, a move away from individual freedom and toward the same nanny welfare state that Americans thought they had put to rest. Rather than a progressive innovation, ObamaCare is a retrograde move that seeks to drag American politics and the economy back to the mistaken emphasis on government power of the mid-20th century. Like so much of the welfare economics and failed liberal policies of that era, ObamaCare has the potential to do far more harm than good. Policies that are driven merely by good intentions and a belief in expanding government power can help derail the engine of American wealth creation and freedom — just as the devastating mistakes of "Great Society" liberalism did in the past.
It is an axiom that the victors write the history of battles and wars. If those who rightly see ObamaCare as a potential disaster want to win, they must not accept the liberal frame of reference about this issue or history. They must recast the both the debate just concluded and the one about to begin. It's about freedom, not the liberal myth of government-imposed social justice.

A Proposal To The Secretariat
Negotiations at Poznan and over the next year must, however, also address differential vulnerability within countries. They must recognize the fact that the groups or individuals most likely to be affected by the impacts of climate change will not be those with the greatest biophysical risks, but those with the greatest natural, human, social, physical, political and financial vulnerability. The adverse consequences of climate change will increasingly threaten the ability of the world's poorest people to fulfill their basic human rights, including their right to food. (For more information on this particular issue, read Germanwatch and Bread for the World's recent publication on climate change and food security).
Our submission to the Secretariat attempts to call attention to the importance of prioritizing the people – not just the countries – most vulnerable to climate change. We suggest putting a human rights framework on adaptation, and grounding that framework in existing international human rights standards and agreements, including the human right to food enshrined under the UN Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Human Rights (ICESCR).
By taking on a rights-based approach to adaptation under the UNFCCC, we believe that Parties will be fulfilling their existing voluntary commitments to the right to food under the ICESCR. This will require national governments to systematically identify people and groups most vulnerable to climate change through vulnerability and adaptation assessments, and enable inclusive, transparent and participatory decision making at all levels with regard to adaptation planning and implementation.Hopefully, our submission will help build momentum for rights-based adaptation in the negotiations for long-term cooperative action. It does, at the very least, give some voice to this very crucial issue.

A compact heat storage system for over heated rooms in which a high value thermal mass is mounted in a forced air flow path formed within a refrigeration heat exchanger loop including a condenser at the inlet and an evaporator at the outlet interconnected with a compressor and an expansion control. The thermal mass is preferably PCM or the equivalent. In the heat storage mode, with the compressor in operation, the air flow is heated at the condenser so that the heated incoming air passes through the thermal mass with high thermal difference resulting in better thermal transfer efficiency. After passage, the air has been cooled by thermal transfer with the thermal mass and is further cooled by the evaporator and then passed back into the room significantly cooler than when entered.
When the room space needs heat from the system, the fan is operated without the compressor to pull the cool air from the room through the thermal mass to heat the same. The limits of capability are essentially those of the thermal mass and are adequate for significant room spaces.
1. Method for the efficient storage of heat from a fluid body comprising the steps of selecting a PCM body with a fusion transition of a predetermined temperature relative to temperature of said fluid body, moving the fluid stream through the PCM body in thermal exchange relation therewith to establish a fluid stream inlet and outlet with said body, removing heat from the outlet fluid stream and adding the removed heat to the inlet fluid stream at a higher temperature so as to utilize a higher thermal transfer efficiency from the fluid stream to the PCM material as the same passes therethrough whereby heat is efficiently withdrawn from the fluid stream and stored in the PCM body as it passes therethrough and exits therefrom substantially cooler.
2. A thermal storage apparatus comprising a PCM body, fluid circulation means for passing a fluid through said PCM body, and means forming a compression refrigeration cycle having a condenser in series with the intake thereto and a evaporator in series with the exhaust therefrom, and pump means for driving the fluid through the system.
3. A thermal storage apparatus comprising a PCM body for storing heat, means for supporting the body in sub-divided form for being in heat exchange relation with a body of air and including means defining an air intake, means defining an air exhaust, means forming a fan for moving air from said intake through the PCM sub-divided body to said exhaust, means forming a regrigerant compression system in cooperation with said intake and exhaust including a evaporator mounted in said exhaust airflow path, a condenser mounted in said intake flow path, a compressor connected to condense and evaporate a refrigerant under pressure and to cause the same to be operatively connected from said condenser to said evaporator, means for electrically operating the compressor and fan in a charging mode to bring in heated air and to exhaust cool air, and means for alternatively electrically operating the fan only in a heating mode to exhaust heated air after passing through said heat charged PCM body.
4. A heat storage device for removing or adding heat from a fluid, a quantity of PCM, means for supporting said quantity in an array adapted for heat exchange relationship with said fluid and subdivided into channels to discourage stratification as the same is cycled through the fusion temperature, means forming an inlet and means forming an outlet for said fluid to be passed through said body and heat transfer contact therethrough, means for removing heat from the fluid at the outlet end, and means for receiving said heat from said last named means and for adding the same at a higher temperature to the fluid at the inlet end.
5. The heat storage device as in claim 4 in which said means for removing heat comprises and said means for adding heat comprises an evaporator disposed across the fluid outlet and a condensor disposed across the fluid inlet, and a compressor, and expansion valve, and fluid circulating means including a working fluid for interconnecting said evaporator, condensor, compressor and expansion valve into a refrigeration cycle heat transfer combination.
6. A heat storage and dispensing device as in claim 5 further including means for electrically operating the compressor and fan in a PCM charging mode when heat is desired to be removed from the fluid, and further including means for electrically operating the fan only, in a heat dispensing mode, for recovering heat stored in said PCM material.
7. The heat storage apparatus as in claim 6 further including means responsive to manual control for adjusting the operating point of said device.
8. A temperature control and stabilizing system for rooms comprising PCM means for storing heat and having a high heat capacity at a predetermined temperature, means for arranging a supporting said PCM means for passing of room air therethrough in thermal contact throughout, a room inlet and a room outlet located at opposite ends of the air flow stream through said material, a refrigeration cycle heat exchanger comprising a compressor, a condenser coil mounted across said inlet, an expansion circuit and an evaporator coil mounted across said outlet, a working fluid incorporated in said heat exchanger, fan means for moving air through said system from the room inlet to the room outlet, switching means for operating said fan means and said compressor simultaneously when room temperature exceeds a predetermined level, and switch means for turning on said fan means alone when the room temperature is below a second predetermined level.
This invention relates to the heating and cooling of room air spaces by thermal exchange with a heat store, and, more particularly, to such heating and cooling using a heat store emphasizing a high thermal mass of PCM material.
As used herein, the expression PCM is an abbreviation for phase change materials and is intended to denote a broad class of hydrated salts which undergo a fusion and crystalization phase transition at above comfortable room temperature, at about 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit. In the present application, PCM includes not only these salts but other materials which are useful for storing thermal energy. It is however more economical and more space conserving to utilize phase change materials than to use other thermal storage means. Preferred phase change materials include the known compounds as sodium sulfate decahydrate, which melts at 90° F. and calcium chloride hexahydrate which melts at 80° F. A heat store is a mass of PCM material supported and arranged in a convenient array for passing a heat exchange fluid therethrough.
The phenomena of overheating of buildings of relatively light mass by solar exposure or intermittent energy consuming processes carried out in such buildings is recognized and well documented. The solution of adding thermal mass to average out thermal excursions and to stabilize the temperature of such buildings is also known. The present invention is directed to incorporating a phase change material (PCM) as the thermal mass for this purpose in such a way as to render the PCM as highly effective and capable of both giving heat to building spaces within the building and of taking out heat from the room space.
Overheating of buildings is generally controlled by suitable ventilation, insulation, air conditioning and by proper placement, size, and shading of the glazing. Overheating can be caused by solar heat absorption in residential or office structures, and by lighting, occupancy, and process control in commercial manufacturing structures. However, during the heating season, excessive thermal energy gain can be advantageous if this energy is preserved for periods over which there is a heating demand. It is known that the addition of thermal mass to a structure can absorb and retain excess energy thereby stabilizing the temperature at a comfortable level. Various proposals for temporary storage of energy have been made. Reference is made to U.S. Pat. No. 4,037,650 wherein a thermal exchange between two thermal stores is achieved with a refrigeration heat transfer system room air is used in the heat exchange media in the external circuit. Heat is transferred between the stores in oen cycle of operation and is transferred to or from the room by operation of either selected one of the stores. This system is unduly complex, requiring separated stores of PCM, separate fans, and separate control circuits for heating and cooling. In its heat transfer cycle no set heating or cooling of room air takes place, while on entry heating and cooling only one-half of the thermal storage capacity is in use.
While it is also known to provide excess solar gain through southerly glazing, even in retrofit situations it is generally more complex and expensive to add a thermal mass, especially in the such retrofit situation. Consequently, overheating occurs in many structures. Or, if desired, it can be made to occur even in winter on cold sunny days. In general the overheated air in the building is circulated over the surface area of containers of stored thermal mass containing, for example, phase change materials (PCM) to absorb the excess energy for later use. Phase change materials are particularly suitable for this purpose; they have the ability to store very large amounts of energy at a given melting temperature by virtue of their high latent heat of fusion. However, such thermal mass cannot be effectively utilized with the generally small temperature differentials, less than about 20 degrees, which are usually to be encountered. In any event, the temperature variations which are sufficient to cause discomfort to persons are usually insufficient for the purpose of creating an adequate differential temperature for efficient heat transfer in systems. Thus, while a thermal storage unit for use in structures where overheating naturally occurs would be desirable, it is generally unavailable in any effective way. There is therefore a need for a new improved thermal storage system.
In general, it is an object of the present invention to provide a thermal storage and stabilization system which will overcome the above limitations and disadvantages.
A further object of the invention is to provide a thermal storage and stabilzation system of the above character which is compact and relatively inexpensive and serves to stabilize interior building room temperatures at a comfortable level without the necessity of employing massive or solar exposed building materials.
A further object of the invention is to provide a new thermal storage system in broad concept which employs a combination of a refrigeration heat exchange system with a high density PCM thermal storage array in such a way as to utilize the usual discomforting thermal differences normally found in building spaces and rooms and to enhance such differences to the point where effective thermal exchange and storage with simultaneous cooling can be accomplished in one cycle of operation; and in which the stored heat can be recovered easily at a later time.
A further object of the invention is to provide a thermal storage and stabilization system of the above character which is capable of absorbing excess heat from building air spaces and rooms during the day and which can return this excess heat to the room during nightime hours.
A further object of the invention is to provide a thermal storage and stabilization system of the above character which is simple in construction, which utilizes a well-established refrigeration technology capable of virtually indefinite operation without maintenance or recharge.
A further object of the invention is to provide a thermal storage and stabilization system of the above character which serves the function of considerable addition of thermal mass in solar home design, which absorbs excess solar energy when available and is capable of releasing it to satisfy heating requirements. But, unlike passive mass alone, the invention requires a small amount of electrical energy to power the associated refrigeration cycle compressor while gaining the considerable advantage of not needing direct solar exposure.
A further object of the invention is to provide a thermal storage and stabilization system of the above character which does not require the same to be incorporated into a building structure in order to function most effectively, rather may be a free-standing unit incorporated as it were in existing furnishings, such as in the base of a coffee table and which operates on resident thermal energy such as that supplied by usual building windows, walls, and occupancy.
In general, the objects of the present invention are achieved utilizing a high efficiency thermal storage block preferably made of PCM material, of known type in a configuration in which the heat storage capacity per unit volume is very high. However, thermal energy cannot be efficiently transferred from room air through to the phase change material unless a temperature differential between them is created which is appropriately large. For it is known that the efficiency of transfer between the media is proportional to the magnitude of the temperature differential. For example the phase change material has a fusion (melting) temperature of 80° F. An air temperature significantly in excess of 80° would be required to effectively transfer energy to the material and an air temperature significantly below 80° would be required to withdraw energy from it. If excessive material and unduly high heat exchanging surface areas are to be avoided in the design the result becomes an unnecessarily and uncomfortably high temperature fluctuation. The present invention avoids this result. The invention operates by selecting a high heat exchange temperature for transferring heat from the room to PCM and achieves this temperature by incorporating the PCM in a forced air flow path having an inlet and an outlet the inlet and outlet being part of a refrigeration heat exchanger having a condensor at the inlet end and an evaporator at the outlet end. The refrigeration system is operated by the usual compressor and expansion circuit valves so that the condenser at the inlet end becomes heated during operation to raise warm room air to a hot temperature before passing through the thermal storage material. After passage through the material the cooled air is further cooled by the evaporator on the air exhaust side. It is found that even with the nominal operating air temperature of 72° F. incoming air to the thermal storage block is raised by approximately 25° and exhausted air is cooled to about 65°. The storage of heat can continue under thermostatic control until the heat sources have been depleted or the phase change material has been fully transitioned across the fusion temperature into a liquid state at which point a sensor can note significant temperature rise in the material can be used to shut the system off.
Later, during periods when supplementary heat is required to maintain comfortable air temperatures, the fan alone is operated to circulate air through the PCM without the refrigeration cycle and to withdraw energy from the phase change material. This can continue under thermostatic contol until the desired degree of heated comfort is achieved or until the material completely solidifies.
In these ways the system of the present invention functions in the manner of a large mass in a passive solar home to absorb excess thermal energy when it is available and to release the energy to satisfy heating requirements. Unlike passive mass, the invention requires a small amount of electrical energy to power the refrigeration cycle compressor but does not require direct solar exposure and related building structural components in order to function most effectively.
The invention can be packaged in a number of forms. For example it can be modularized for interstud mounting in interior walls or it can be arranged as a part of a movable furnishing such as a cocktail table. A portable unit is especially attractive in that energy can be withdrawn from it at the immediate point of need, as, for example, in a specific room, while allowing the remainder of a building to cool down to a more economical temperature.
These and other objects and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description and claims when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view in schematic form of a modular form of the thermal storage and stabilization system of the present invention adapted for interstud mounting in an interior building wall.
FIG. 2 is an elevational front view of the system of FIG. 1 taken along the lines 2--2 thereof.
FIG. 3 is an schematic electrical diagram of the control circuits of the invention of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4a is a graph of temperature from inlet to outlet of the apparatus of FIGS. 1-3 taken during the cooling cycle.
FIG. 4b is a graph of temperature from inlet to outlet of the apparatus of FIGS. 1-3 taken during the heating cycle.
FIG. 5 is a side elevational view and cross-section of a configuration of the thermal storage and stabilization unit of the present invention in a portable piece of furniture.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 there is shown a modular construction of thermal stabilization unit 10 adapted for use as a builtin wall unit adapted to be mounted between wall studs in a conventional room wall so that the unit is completely operative and accessible through the room side of the wall. The unit includes an outer frame 12 including tabs 14 for extending over the studs 16 to which the frame is secured, as by nailing. The frame includes front mounting panel 18, a rear panel 20 as well as top, bottom and side panels 22, 24, 26 for enclosing the same. An air intake vent 30 is provided across the upper front panel and an air exhaust vent 32 is provided across the bottom of the front panel.
The central region of the unit between the air intake vent and the air exhaust vent houses a thermal storage section 34 preferably made of a phase change material (PCM). The PCM material itself can be selected from any of the various known materials as previously set forth and include sodium sulfate decahydrate (Na2 SO4.10H2 O, melts at 90° F.) and calcium chloride hexahydrate (CaCl2.6H2 O, melts at 80° F.).
The PCM material is encapsulated in panels 34a-e which are made of plastic and which organize the PCM into a plurality of horizontally arranged channels which prevents separation of the PCM material components during repeated cycling through the fusion temperature. These panels also organize the material into vertically arranged parallel planes which are spaced from each other and provide a plurality of vertical flow channels 36a-d extending from the air intake to the air exhaust side of the unit. This provides for a large surface area for thermal exchange between the circulating air and the PCM panels. Reference is made to my U.S. Pat. No. 4,213,488 issued July 22, 1980 for a discussion of the construction and use of panels of phase change material.
Means are provided for forming a driven air flow stream through the PCM panels and consists of one or more fans 38 mounted preferably on the exhaust side of the panels for pulling air therethrough.
Means is provided for transfering heat from the air stream at the outlet and further means is provided for receiving removed heat and for adding the same to the air stream at the inlet. Preferably such means takes the form of a simple refrigeration cycle evaporator and condenser circuit consisting of a evaporator 40 mounted across the air exhaust side of the unit and a condenser 42 mounted across the air intake vent of the unit. A suitable compressor 44 and expansion valve (not shown) is employed together with a fluid circuit including a working fluid for interconnecting the foregoing components into a working refrigeration system in which heat is transferred from the evaporator to the condenser by the working fluid. The evaporator and compressor can be of typical construction such as are used in air conditioners and refrigerators in which a tubular coil passes back and forth in a generally planar array and is provided with fins to enhance thermal exchange with the air stream which passes through it. The refrigeration cycle working fluid can be of any suitable type as are used in air conditioners.
FIG. 3 shows a circuit diagram of the switching circuits for controlling the operation of the fan and the compressor. All switches are shown in their below temperature contact position and are designed to have a minimum of 2° F. hysteresis. Thus the fan and compressor are designed to be operated from a typical AC supply line having a hot line, a neutral line and a ground line. Switches SW1 and SW2 are connected in series to the fan while switches SW3 and SW4 are connected in series to the compressor. Switch SW1 thermostatically turns on the fan for heating when the room temperature is below preset thermostat temperature. This is an owner controlled variable thermostatic switch mounted external to the unit usually on the wall of the room.
Switch SW2 shuts off the fan when the phase change panels fall below the phase change temperature (Tp -10° F.), which occurs when the phase change materials have been completely discharged and no further heat can be extracted from the unit. Switch SW2 is a fixed temperature snap action switch placed in direct contact with the phase change material in a location likely to be last discharged (see FIGS. 1 and 2 for switch placement). A refrigeration cycle system and control circuit is installed as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1-2, and include evaporator 40, condenser 42, compressor 44 and expansion valve (not shown) together with a fluid circuit for interconnecting the same.
Switch SW3 which is usually made a part of the overall unit and incorporated with switch SW1. SW3 thermostatically turns on the compressor in the storage mode when the room temperature is more than 5° F. in excess of a preset thermostat temperature. Switch SW4 shuts off the compressor when the phase change panels are completely charged, i.e., when the temperature of the panels rises above the phase change temperature plus approximately 10° F. This is a fixed temperature snap action switch which may be placed in direct contact with the phase change panel array in a location likely to be last charged. A solenoid operated relay switch is connected across the compressor and the fan so as to turn the fan or whenever the compressor is powered. The following chart summarizes the above conditions.
Specific constructional details necessary to construct the apparatus of the present invention may be varied over a wide range. Some account will have to be made to match the compressor capacity with the amount of phase change material and the fan operating capacities. Typically the compressor and fan sizing are only dependent on the design delivery capacity of the unit. A typical unit using a compressor of about 200 to 500 watts driving a common refrigerant working fluid such as R12 would require a comparable fan size of about 100 to 300 cfm.
In operation, the system of the present invention is effective in being able to create a temperature differential between the phase change material and the warm room air which is sufficient to raise the efficiency of transfer of heat which is proportional to the magnitude of the temperature difference. For example, phase change material having a melting temperature of 80° F. would require an air temperature significantly in excess of 80° in order to effectively transfer energy through the material. And, likewise, an air temperature significantly below 80° would be required to withdraw energy from it. Excessively severe materials requirements would be required as well as considerable discomfort were room temperature variations used which are adequate to efficiently use the material without the refrigeration cycle combination disclosed. Thus, the present invention solves an important problem in achieving a high thermal transfer efficiency and capability in materials of general availability and allows a very satisfactory thermal unit to be employed within a reasonable and comfortable range.
FIG. 4 is a series of graphs which depict the operation of the device and illustrate the temperature ranges through both a heating cycle and a cooling cycle. Thus FIG. 4a shows that incoming air is heated by the condensor to well above the fusion temperature of the material which is assumed, for illustration purposes, to be 80° F. As such, high thermal transfer can occur with the phase change material and during such transfer the material will cool the incoming air stream down to about 85° after which the air stream passes through the evaporator and is cooled by an amount approximating that was previously heated and is discharged from the unit at about 65°, a pleasantly cool temperature. As the entire body of phase change material becomes charged it no longer is able to internally cool the heated incoming air and eventually rises above a critical temperature which may be set in accordance within wide variations, as, for example, 5° F. to 10° F. higher than the phase change material transition temperature. At this point the incoming air and exiting air temperature will approximate each other, as shown in the dotted lines, and the unit is set to turn off for want of capacity. These conditions are shown in dashed lines. During the heating cycle the situation is somewhat simplier since the fan alone is in operation and incoming cool air is heated by thermal exchange in passing through the device. This is summarized in FIG. 4b.
FIG. 5 illustrates a form of construction of the invention designed to be moveable and located as a free standing unit within a room. Such a portable furnishing may for example be constructed into and form the the base of a coffee table. The elements are the same as previously set forth and like parts have been given like numbers raised by 100. Thus a framework 112 is provided for supporting the various components including an array 134 of PCM panels 134a-g which are arranged horizontally to define a plurality of channels 136a-e for passage of air therethrough. The framework includes an air intake vent 130 opening at one side and an air discharge or exhaust 132 opening at the other side. A fan 138 is provided for moving through the unit and the condensor and evaporated are located at the inlet vent and oulet vent respectively. Room air temperature thermostats may be located on the outside surface and thermally insulated from the inside in order to appropriately sense the room temperature and to provide easy access for the owner.
The portable unit is especially attractive in that energy can be withdrawn from it at a point of need without the cost of air conditioning or heating the entire building and, there is no installation cost. Thus during periods when supplementary heating is required to maintain a comfortable air temperature the unit's fan circulates air throught the storage unit, without refrigeration cycle, and withdraws energy from the phase change material. This process can continue under thermostatic control until comfort is achieved or until the material completely solidifies.
In these ways the invention functions like the mass in a passive solar home to absorb excess thermal energy when it is available and to release the energy to satisfy heating requirements when needed. Unlike passive mass, the invention requires that a small amount of electrical energy be used to power the refrigeration cycle compressor. As is known, these requirements are quite modest indeed and may be readily supplied at low cost. Also there is no need to provide direct solar exposure in order for effective functioning as was a design feature of previous wall mounted uses of PCM material.
Table I summarizes the state of the switching circuits in response to various possible conditions.

Hat - Female, Wool, Brown,1950s Reg. No: HT 21683
- Summary:
- Brown woolen hat worn by Carmela Palermo when she migrated to Australia from Italy as a proxy bride in 1957. It was a present from her father who purchased it for her in Rome just prior to her departure. She continued to wear it in Australia and tended to make her own clothes as she was not taken with the local fashions.
Carmela Palermo (nee Rocca) was born in 1940 in Sambiase, Calabria, Italy. She migrated to Australia as a proxy bride in 1957, flying via Rome and landing at Essendon Airport. She married neighbour Vicenzo Palermo who had migrated to Australia 5 years previously. They settled in a very underdeveloped Keilor. Carmela brought a glory box with her which followed by ship (two travelling trunks), and included linen, a dinner set, and a trousseau. The migration experience was a very difficult one for Carmela, with no family (although her husband had family in Australia) nor English language proficiency, she was extremely lonely and isolated. It took many years for her to settle, seek education and make Australia her home.
- Description:
- Straw hat covered in soft brown wool with round crown and brim and matching brown cotton ribbed ribbon around base of crown joining at a flat bow at the back. Cream lining sewn into interior.
- Acquisition Information:

Rated 5 out of 5 by chael LG Triton The Triton is by far the best phone that has come out in awhile, the features are very significant like the joystick for people who have big fingers, or the dual keyboards, the qwerty that is under the slide and the regular one on the touch screen, almost all the text you can do either place, I myself find the qwerty the best for me. the design fits the phone, touch screen is great and you can adjust the pressure on it so you do not bump the screen and it goes into a program, overall this phone has ever thing a person could want and more. July 19, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by RangerDanger First Touch Phone My first touch interface phone. The aps are pretty nice, the GPS navigation that comes with my Alltel contract is pretty solid. The joystick controller also helps with webpage navigation, without which I find kind of awkward. Slide out keypad is a good size, easy to use without fat thumbing keys. November 6, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by TC Awesome Awesome phoen gereat features! easy to use with many extras! You will love this phone ... October 27, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by fjh TOTALLY AWESOME PHONE I have been a current user of LG phones for a while now and when the Tritan came out I bought it! I absolutely love this phone! It is VERY easy to use and has all the features of the big boys. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to turn an mp3 into a ringtone. The only drawback to this phone at this time that I am to find is there is NO SOFTWARE for this particular phone! Other than that it is an awesome phone. If you are will Alltel I would recommend this phone over any other they have on the market! LG and Alltel did something right when they introduced this phone! Now just get the users of this phone some software and it will ALL be GREAT! August 23, 2009

Go beyond the usual mobile experience with the AX840, LG Tritan. It's a touch screen slider with next generation, progressive user interface and a large 3" touch screen for real power and performance. Plus, a full QWERTY keyboard makes messaging fast and easy. Enjoy stereo sound, Bluetooth capabilities and a 3 MP camera/camcorder.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We've put together a list of seven of the best charities most deserving of your support.
With the news today that Angelina Jolie has had a preventative double mastectomy after she learned she had an 87 percent possibility of developing breast cancer, we started thinking about what other celebrities who have had similar procedures.
Here's a list of 7 celebrities who have had mastectomies.
The world's biggest bra is being auctioned off for a breast cancer charity. The "mega 1,360B" is the size of two tennis courts and weighs as much as 1,800 traditional bras. It took 4 weeks and 1 person to make
Is possible for a bra to detect breast cancer?
Well, according to First Warning Systems, the answer is a resounding yes. The Reno, Nevada-based company says they have invented a sports bra that comes complete with built-in heat sensors that can allow doctors to see malignancies through a state-of-the-art thermal imprint.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while millions of women across the country will be getting screenings and consulting with their doctors about this very private issue, there are some who have gone through the detection-treatment-recovery sequence publicly. The last celebrity on our list may surprise you ...
Approximately 10-15 percent of people have a genetic mutation associated with an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Genetic testing could help women find out if they have the gene and are at greater risk. The Tri-Cities Cancer Center will host a free presentation on Genetic Testing for Breast and Ovarian Cancer
The Tri-City Cancer Center Guild and Men's Club are hosting a pancake breakfast fundraiser to support the Tri-City Cancer Center. Pancakes, sausage, juice, and coffee will be served by the Guild and Men's Club members

Normally I'm a little nervous on mammo day, but for some reason this time I'm pretty relaxed.I know this is a very necessary part of taking care of myself and some how it just worked out that I'm having my test done during breast cancer awareness month.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. 'The Spirit Indestructible' singer Nelly Furtado is the latest pop star to join the fight against breast cancer by speaking up and lending her voice and her image to the cause.
Once upon a time I had a wonderful friend Jeff (who used to shoe my horses for me.)
He dreamed of the perfect woman, and it was obvious he was lost without a "special someone" in his life.
One day his whole face lit up as he told me of the girl of his dreams that he met and fell in love with! Her name was Stephanie!
I loved her too! Immediately! Her up beat personality and demeanor was like no other and she loved Jeff as much as he loved her! They soon were married

continued Grading the boards
The purpose of this report is to grade the website portion of the "meeting material" amendment. Believe it or not, I've been tracking all the boards in the News Enterprise region since Feb. 2, 2012 to see who is taking this seriously.
My intention was to give periodic updates in the newspaper to show the public how their elected representatives are doing with regard to the Open Meetings Law. That's part of our job, keeping them honest, putting them on notice, being the watchdog for taxpayers.
I wanted to rank the boards and give credit to those who have made progress. And I wanted to be as fair as possible — knowing that I will be critical of the schools and towns that are not yet complying — so I decided to give them grades based on certain criteria.
But this wasn't done in a vacuum; I interviewed most of these school superintendents and town supervisors in the spring of 2012 to see how they were coping with the new requirement. I found that some were investing in software, even though the law states that they don't have to spend any money (to get away from the stigma of being an unfunded mandate). I found others hiding behind the same funding language and the words "to the extent practicable."
I even interviewed Committee on Open Government Executive Director Robert Freeman at the New York Press Association conference in the spring of 2012. I asked him about boards using the statute's language to make excuses why they can't post meeting material on their websites.
Freeman asked me, "Can you place it on your website?"
"Yes," I said.
Therefore, it's practicable for all boards to do so, he asserted.
Grading criteria
When you go to a public meeting, each board member is given a packet of reference material so they are prepared to discuss items on the agenda and make decisions. The information can include correspondence, proposed resolutions, laws, rules, regulations, policies and amendments. Minus any executive session material, it certainly includes material required to be made available pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL).

DOI News
Secretary Letter on Federal Subsistence Board Implementation
Mr. Tim Towarak
Chair, Federal Subsistence Board
P. O. Box 89
Unalakleet, Alaska 99684
Dear Mr. Towarak:
First, I want to thank you for your service on the Federal Subsistence Board (FSB). I recognize that your work represents a significant commitment of time and energy to a task that is complex and often controversial.
Under the terms of the Title VIII of ANILCA, we have a duty to provide an effective program that serves rural residents of Alaska. In October 2009, at the Alaska Federation of Natives convention, I announced a review of the Federal subsistence program to ensure that the program is best serving rural Alaskans and that the letter and spirit of Title VIII are being met. That review, conducted through my Alaska Affairs office, included meetings with stakeholder groups and individuals throughout Alaska as well as Federal, State, and local officials. Following an analysis of the wide variety of comments, concerns, and suggestions expressed, a number of recommendations for programmatic changes were presented for consideration. On August 31, 2010, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and I announced our decision to pursue a number of those recommendations to provide a more responsive, more effective subsistence program. A copy of the press release is enclosed for your information.
A number of these proposed actions are best accomplished by the FSB. With concurrence of the Secretary of Agriculture, I respectfully request that the FSB initiate the following actions at the earliest practical time:
Develop a proposed regulation to increase the membership on the FSB to include two additional public members representing subsistence users;
As a matter of policy, expand deference to appropriate Regional Advisory Council (RAC) recommendations in addition to "takings" decisions of the Board provided for under Section 805(c) of ANILCA, subject to the three exceptions found in that Section;
Review, with RAC input, the December 2008 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the State to determine either the need for the MOU or the need for potential changes to clarify federal authorities in regard to the subsistence program;
Review, with RAC input, and present recommendations for changes to Federal subsistence procedural and structural regulations (Parts A&B of the CFRs) adopted from the State in order to ensure Federal authorities are fully reflected and in accord with subsistence priorities provided for in Title VIII;
Review, with RAC input, the customary and traditional use determination process and present recommendations for regulatory changes;
Review, with RAC input, rural/nonrural determination process and present recommendations for regulatory changes;
Review the Board's written policy on executive sessions and minimize the use of executive sessions to those cases specifically prescribed;
At the request of the Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service and under Departmental procedures, review and submit recommendations for Departmental consideration of the annual budget for the Federal subsistence program;
Ensure the Secretaries are informed when non-Department rule-making entities develop regulations that may adversely affect subsistence users;
To the extent practicable, utilize contracting and use of ANILCA Section 809 cooperative agreements with local tribes and other entities in the Board's review and approval of proposals for fulfilling subsistence program elements; and
- Prepare and submit a status report on these actions to me, with a copy to the Secretary of Agriculture, within a year of this letter.
Again, thank you for your service. I look forward to further recommendations the FSB may have to strengthen our subsistence management program.
An identical letter is being sent to Ms. Beth Pendelton, Alaska Regional Forester.
/s/ Ken Salazar

Thanksgiving Decorating Ideas from Evette Rios
With Thanksgiving just a week away, you probably still have a ton to do: final menu planning, shopping, cleaning, cooking. And let's not forget setting the holiday dinner table. To help you check the latter off your list, we asked Evette Rios (right), craft and design expert and entertaining contributor for eHow Food, to share a few of her favorite wallet-friendly decorating ideas. The best part? Your kids can make all of them from fallen leaves on your lawn!
For all of the project ideas below, start by making a simple leaf rubbing. Place a leaf vein side up under a piece of paper—Evette used a thin, colorful rice paper—and rub the paper with the flat side of a crayon. Cut out the shape of the leaf and repeat to create as many as desired. "These leaves are so easy to make that you can get the entire family involved," says Rios. "Make a whole bunch and really brighten up your holiday table."
Leaf Project 1: Using a kid-safe needle and thread, string together a bunch of leaves to make a garland. Hang it from a chandelier above your table or drape it across the dining room wall.
Leaf Project 2: Place a leaf on each dinner plate for a fall-themed place card. Have kids write each guests' name on top using a bright colored crayon or marker.
Leaf Project 3: Glue the leaves to twigs and sticks, then place them in a small jar to make a rustic centerpiece for the kids' table. "These handmade leaves look beautiful when the light hits them, and they'll stay vibrant, colorful and won't dry out like the real ones," says Rios.

Just What Is Seronegative Arthritis?
We don't often hear the term seronegative arthritis. When people are diagnosed as having arthritis it is most often osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. It's rare you will meet a person who complains of having arthritis that will tell you they are suffering from seronegative arthritis. In fact, if you visit the websites of one or two of the more well known arthritis centers or foundations, you may not even find seronegative arthritis mentioned, the reason being that the term encompasses several different kinds of arthritis, and is not in itself a unique type of arthritis.
There are in fact well over 100 different kinds of arthritis, although many of them are rarely encountered. Arthritis can attack most any tissue in the body, but in the vast majority of cases it is the cartilage in the joints that tend to be affected.
Spondylitis - Rheumatoid arthritis tends to affect women more than men, while men are more apt to fall victim to one of the four major types of seronegative arthritis. One of these types, ankylosing spondylitis, or spondylitis for short, primarily affects the spine. Women sometimes can suffer from spondylitis, but most cases involve males. Like many other types of arthritis, the pain encountered is usually not a constant, but comes and goes. One may have a sudden flare-up, usually experienced as a low back pain, which may linger for some time and then go away. Over time however the flare-ups may occur more and more frequently, and may become more and more severe. The pain, which is often accompanied by stiffness, most often occurs when one is at rest, and it tends to decrease with increasing activity. This type of arthritis normally begins in the lower spine, where the spine joins the pelvis, and over time may eventually affect the entire spine, although this is not often the case. Spondylitis is usually treatable by non-surgical means, although surgery may be resorted to if the symptoms become constant and severe.
Psoriatic Arthritis - A second seronegative type of arthritis is psoriatic arthritis which, when it occurs, occurs in conjunction with the skin disorder psoriasis, although only about 5% of those with psoriasis will experience psoriatic arthritis as well. In most instances, the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis are rather mild, affecting only the extremities, such as the very ends of the fingers or toes. There have been more severe cases of psoriatic arthritis recorded that affect the spine, but such cases are rather rare. As is the case with spondylitis, treatment of psoriatic arthritis usually consists of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Reactive Arthritis - A third seronegative type of arthritis, and one which primarily affects younger men, is reactive arthritis. Reactive arthritis can have numerous symptoms as it can affect the joints, the urethra, and even the eyes. In some cases the Achilles tendon can become inflamed. At times, reactive arthritis may affect only a single joint or several joints may be affected, but only on one side of the body. While the exact cause of most types of arthritis remains unknown, in the case of reactive arthritis, the disorder often follows in the wake of an infection of some sort. In many cases, reactive arthritis is a short-lived condition, one that goes away after a few weeks, especially if the infection which appeared to be a cause has been effectively treated. On some cases however, reactive arthritis can linger on, or become chronic. Treatment generally consists of antibiotics taken together with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, combined with physical therapy.
Arthritis Associated With IBD – The fourth seronegative type of arthritis is associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While this type of arthritis is similar to rheumatoid arthritis in a number of ways, it usually only affects a few of the larger joints, and usually affects different joints on different sides of the body. For example, this arthritic condition may make itself known in someone's right knee and left wrist. It can also affect the sacroiliac joints. Rheumatoid arthritis seldom, if ever, affects the lower spine. Also, this type of arthritis, while associated with IBD, is also associated with a specific gene, which is not the case with rheumatoid arthritis. This type of arthritis tends to be long lasting in most cases. Since there is no cure, the treatment given can only address relieving the symptoms. The degree of discomfort felt will often wax and wane. Occasionally, the arthritis completely disappears on its own
Undifferentiated Arthritis – It should be noted that there are several other types of seronegative arthritis that fall under the category "undifferentiated arthritis". These are types which are definitely seronegative in nature, but any one specific type is difficult to distinguish from any other. In general, not a great deal of information has been gathered on these different types, so they have not been assigned specific names. About all that can be said is that if you have an undifferentiated type of arthritis, it will probably cause you some discomfort, it may seem to you like any other type of arthritis, and the doctors most likely know very little about it.

Dancing With The Stars
Julianne Hough Tells Glamour: Ryan Seacrest Hit on Me When I Still Had a Boyfriend!
Julianne Hough won back-to-back seasons of Dancing With the Stars, starting when she was 18. Now she's a 23-year-old bonafide film star — with a new movie Rock of Ages coming out June 15 and the glitzy new July cover of Glamour Magazine.
Julianne told the magazine that her now-boyfriend Ryan Seacrest hit on her when she still had a boyfriend.
"I had another boyfriend, Chuck Wicks, whom I met on Dancing With the Stars," she told the magazine. "While we were dating, we went on Ryan's radio show together. The interview's in YouTube, and I blush when I hear it because Ryan is hitting on me the entire time! At the end, Ryan said something like, 'You guys really have something special!' And I thought to myself, He's so full of s**t right now!"
"When Chuck and I broke up, I wanted to be single. That lasted five months. Then Ryan and I went on a date." And the rest is reality romance history!
Congrats to Julianne on the magazine cover and for breaking the movie mold — or at least reshaping it so talented reality TV folks can find a way to shine.

My family is obsessed with peanut butter. They go through jars and jars of the stuff. I thought it would be better to have a homemade version. That way you are controlling the ingredients: salt, sugar, dairy, etc. I came up with this creamy, peanut butter recipe one day and the best part is… it took 15 minutes to make! It stores well in the fridge or shelf, and I love the addition the coconut oil brings to the butter.
Homemade Creamy Peanut Butter
1 cup unsalted peanuts
10 drops liquid stevia.
1/4 cup coconut oil + 1 tablespoon
pinch salt
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until it forms a butter paste.
Another nut butter recipe by ATX Gluten-Free: Raw almond butter

There are six gardens at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix.
Healing Garden
We believe a healing garden can enhances healing physically, emotionally and spiritually. We welcome all visitors and expect that at all times they will respect the Garden's dignity, integrity and intention of purpose. The Healing Garden is centrally located in the heart of the medical center.
Garden of Service
The Garden of Service recognizes employees who have made a difference at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix. Each leaf on the tree represents an employee who has committed more than 25 years of service to the hospital. The Garden of Service is located between the visitor parking structure and the hosiptal.
Sunken Gardens (North and South)
The North and South Sunken Gardens are located near the Laura Dreier Breast Center. There is a statue in the North Sunken Garden that represents our breast center.
Spiral Garden
The Spiral Garden has spiraling rocks in the middle of it. It ties in the Healing Garden to what became known as the "new gardens." These gardens, the North and South Sunken Gardens and the Spiral Garden, were created when the hospital expanded and built its ancillary building.
Infusion Garden
Infusion patients receive treatment for several hours. The Infusion Garden is a visual distraction for these patients, bringing the outdoors inside while patients are being treated.
