DEC investigation to take place in city
By SAMANTHA
OBSERVER Staff Writer
More Department of Conservation work will be beginning in the city. Work will begin on remediation at a former manufactured gas plant located on Second Street.
National Fuel Distribution Corporation will begin a remedial investigation on the site later this month. The investigation will be performed by National Fuel in accordance with state DEC requirements. The state Department of Health will also oversee the investigation as well.
"The Dunkirk Former Manufactured Gas Plant site is subject to an order on consent, a legal agreement between DEC and National Fuel, for investigation and any required cleanup. Under the terms of the order, National Fuel is proceeding with a remedial investigation at the site," Kristen Davidson, public affairs for state DEC, said.
The work will be completed at 31 W. Second St. at National Grid's service center. The site was a former manufactured gas plant using coal carbonization that operated from the late 1860s to 1910. The site included three gas holders, a retort house, a purifier house, a coal shed and an oil tank, according to Davidson.
The gas was made during the process of coal carbonization, which volatile gases are generated from heating coal in the absence of oxygen. As a byproduct the process produced coal tar, an oily waste material containing benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
The investigation is a continuation from a 2010 The investigation is a continuation from a 2010 site characterization done by the state DEC to determine if there were any contaminants from the former plant. The soils beneath the site are largely silt and not highly permeable. It is likely contamination is minimal, but this testing will confirm that. The 2010 study found there was some contamination in the northeast corner of the property that was slowly dissolving into ground water.
"The investigation, which is planned to start by the end of March, will begin with a soil vapor intrusion evaluation followed by sampling of any underground structures, soil and groundwater to delineate the extent of any contamination attributable to the (former plant)," Davidson said.
During the work, drilling, taking samples and monitoring wells will be conducted. Following the remedial investigation, the public will be able to view the results as a report. From the findings in this report, a feasibility study will then be conducted. This study will determine the extent of cleanup work that will be completed on the site, if necessary.
"The results of this investigation will be used to determine whether any cleanup action is needed. If so, various alternatives will be evaluated and a preferred approach will be presented. The public will be kept informed throughout the process," Davidson said.
If cleanup work is necessary, a proposed remedial action plan will be proposed by DEC. This plan will be presented to the public and will have a 30-day public comment period and a public meeting will be held. Project documents, including plans for the remedial investigation can be found online at www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/67352.html.

Better Bucket Handle
In his construction business, Club member Adam Wood of Pacific Grove, California, often needs to carry heavy 5-gallon buckets. Because the thin handles on the buckets are uncomfortable to grip, he created auxiliary handles out of short sections of 1-in.-dia. dowels and a pair of 2-1/2-in. ceiling hooks.

In a surprising revelation Thursday, NASA acknowledged that they treated one of the iconic recordings in American history like just another tape, erasing the Apollo 11 moon footage years ago in an effort to reuse the tape. Luckily for NASA, Hollywood is the land of second chances, and that is exactly what the agency is getting.
Lowry Digital, of Burbank Calif., is digitally sharpening and cleaning up the ghostly, grainy footage of the moon landing, making it even better than what TV viewers saw on July 20, 1969. Even more remarkable about their effort is that they are working with only four copies of the landing that NASA was able to pick up from across the world. In a move that seems eerily similar to re-releasing a film on its anniversary as a means of promotion, the first group of restored footage was released just in time for the 40th anniversary of the landing. …Read More →

I have never been to Finland and don't know much about Finnish food, except that it is probably quite similar to other Scandinavian food, which I also know very little about. Actually, when I think about it, the first thing that springs to mind is Jacques Chirac's 2005 comment about British food, "After Finland, it is the country with the worst food." Understandably, this comment did not go down well in the UK, but at least we are aware of the stereotype of plain British food, whereas it was probably more of a shock to the Finns. So, I set about researching Finnish food, and came across some wonderful ideas for cooking with reindeer and elk – but possibly not so easy to get hold of here. Luckily, salmon is very popular in Finland and I soon decided to make a salmon soup which I found on Scandi Foodie.
I changed the recipe only slightly. I couldn't find any celeriac so had to miss it out. I had ground all spice berries, not whole berries. I used vegetable stock instead of water. I could possibly have used fish stock but I didn't want it to be too fishy, I just wanted to add a little extra flavour. I also used milk instead of cream as I was making this for lunch and tend to avoid cream except for desserts or sauces that really need it. I am ashamed to admit that I did worry slightly that it might be a little plain, with just the all spice berries really for flavouring. In fact, the potato, parsnip and salmon soaked up the flavour of the all spice and were delicious. I don't often use all spice but it was a flavour I could happily enjoy without needing other herbs or spices. So, it was definitely a success, and a recipe I wouldn't hesitate to make again. Unlike some soups which are not filling enough for a whole meal, it makes a great one-pot meal, not needing any bread to go with it, although of course you could have some if you wanted.
I am linking this to My Kitchen My World. The March destination is of course Finland. I am also sending it to Kahakai Kitchen for Souper Sundays.
Ingredients – serves 2
About 5 new potatoes, diced
1/2 tsp ground all spice berries
1/2 onion, finely diced
1/2 a parsnip, diced
300g piece of salmon
Vegetable stock or water
200ml Milk (or a little cream and a bit more stock)
How to Make Finnish Salmon Soup
1. Add the potatoes, parsnip, onion and all spice to enough hot stock to just cover the vegetables. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
2. Add the milk or cream along with the salmon. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Taste and add salt and black pepper to taste.

Advanced Micro Devices' way towards Fusion of central processing units and graphics processing units has been long, but it seems to be about paying off as the company announces an ultra-low power accelerated processing unit with as low as 17.5W power consumption amid high level of performance to arrive in 2012.
"We plan to introduce a version of Trinity that will consume less than 50% the power of today's lowest power, 35W Llano APU, bringing performance computing to the ultra-thin notebooks," said Thomas Seifert, interim chief exec of AMD, during the discussion of financial results of the company with financial analysts.
Trinity is the first microprocessor that AMD showcased physically that features the company's next-generation Bulldozer x86 processing engines along with a new-generation Radeon graphics engine (presumably utilizing VLIW4 micro-architecture). Apparently, it has a lot of advantages beyond performance over current products.
"We put out a pretty interesting power-consumption specification. I don't know if we really want to go into more details about that product at this time, other than the fact that we're going to continue to invest in leading in the mobile space," said Mr. Seifert.

Comments about Learning Resources Magnetic Tabletop Pocket Chart:
The best part of this product is the ease of setting it up and the storage. I used it in a center with magnetic picture tiles, for students who needed help listening for similar beginning sounds. The children called it "the suitcase." Instead of feeling sad because they needed extra help, the ones who got to use "the suitcase" were envied!

Technology & Strategy
Trends of Technology in 2016
Technology is changing at an increasing scale. Enterprises are experimenting with more agile processes to develop applications faster using cloud technologies. AWS, Google and Azure have a significant impact to the industry by enabling utility like model for infrastructure consumption enabling faster scaling of the businesses. This leads to increases in innovation because companies can test and fail faster, meaning they can learn and innovate faster. It is a double edged sword though because there will always be new innovators ready to disrupt their businesses using the best in class and most advanced cloud and related technologies.
On the consumer side, smart phones and iPads are having a negative impact on the PC market, which is shrinking. Consumers are using their phones to solve their problems. Internet of Things, which are little devices that can connect to anything such as human body or machines in a factory is showing a lot of promise and large companies are investing in that technology heavily. This increase of using technology by consumer is causing a change in businesses too. Businesses want to reach to their customers by digital marketing, SEO and social media, because traditional channels such as print are not enough or as interactive anymore. They can learn more about their customers when they interact with them so that they can tailor their products and services in the best way possible. Let's know turn to some actual dollar figures about the technology space and analyze the chart above.
What does the chart above show?
This chart represents the total market size for technology related products and services. It is used fairly commonly in consulting firms as it can represent a large size of data very efficiently. The total IT market size is $3.74 Trillion. This means that if you added up all the sales of tech related products, the value would add up to $3.74 Trillion globally. Every large market like this has segments and sub-segments, which represent the overall size of the pie for companies. You could think each of the five rectangles in the chart as the "battlefield" for the companies that compete. For example, data center systems is $141B in size and is divided mainly into servers, networking and storage. Main players in this segment such as HP, Cisco and EMC compete to get the most of the rectangle in their target data center segment. When companies look at attractiveness of new markets, market size and its forecast is one of the key variables to calculate the attractiveness of a new market.
Strategy is a means to grab the most of the market size rectangle. It is the grand plan for how different resources will work together to grab a targeted piece of the market pie while positioning the company strongly relative to others for long term sustainable growth.
Who is this website for?
This website is tailored to all students of strategy and management, whether they are currently finishing their undergrad or MBA or they are working in organizations, large or small, that require a strategy. This site will have two main sections: concepts for general management strategy concepts and strategic issues very relevant for high-tech companies. This site has both general strategy topics and topics specific to high-tech. It is best to digest both the general and specific concepts to think holistically about a business.
In this website, in addition to the concepts, we will look at strategies of high tech companies. We will have an outsider view based on the results they announce, recent news and key technology trends we observe. We don't claim to have figured out the ultimate strategy for each company and we sure won't have the same depth of information as the executives themselves. We will base our views on public information only.
We will also have a section on common IT related questions, such as how to decrease your Windows boot time
What is Strategy?
Strategy is an act of knowing where to go and how to go there with the ability to execute and actually get there. Strategy is knowing what to do and what NOT to do. Solid strategy is built on knowing the options and trade-offs and making a CONSCIOUS choice, it is proactive, not reactive.
Elements of Strategy
Strategy has three key elements: target customers, competitors and products / processes of the firm. Most firms say that they are focused on their customers; but actually they are not. It is the right thing to say; but not the easiest thing to do. Most firms are focused inwardly. It is natural to do so. Few really follow their competitors and can develop counter strategies or actions. They just look at market share charts and think that it is competitive analysis. And thirdly, understanding the strengths of a firm is key to develop the right strategy. If a firm cannot leverage its existing assets when venturing into a new area, it is very unlikely they will be successful. The thinking that firms should go after every attractive market regardless of cost and rate of return is a big risk that does not pay often. Not investing enough in R&D to develop internal capabilities is another problem high tech firms face because decreasing R&D expenses is a short term fix for earnings that would have negative impact after a couple of years as attractiveness of product portfolio goes down. We believe that high-tech companies that want to grow should at least invest 10% of their revenues to R&D. The ones that fail to do that is unlikely to achieve meaningful organic growth.
Strategy has been in the domain of war and battlefields with the stakes of thousands of lives. It has been adapted to business world in the last few decades, driven by intellectual property of management consulting firms and books written by management gurus. Every MBA student and Fortune 100 executive would know Michael Porter's Competitive Strategy, Peter Drucker's 'The Practice of Management'
Why is strategy important for high-tech companies?
Strategy is of particular importance for high-tech companies because of the rate of change, driven by technology and innovation. Making a wrong choice could lead to significant share loss in a short period of time. Stakes are also high since successful technologies are replicated quickly across the world and products with different price points.
In no other space, inferior products are this easily wiped out. You could keep going to your local supermarket even if it is not the best quality for price compared to another one farther from your house; but you will never keep buying an inferior product / service given your price point. Superior technologies, business models dominate the market, so this superior products and product strategy a key ingredient of high-tech business strategy. You would see less fragmentation in high-tech markets compared to other industries.
Cisco, Google, EMC, Intel, Microsoft all have over 60% share in some of their target markets and they have maintained their high share throughout many years because they can out-invest competitors given their initial edge and always stay ahead. This does not mean they will always enjoy the economic profits that they enjoy now. Complacency in high-tech is the most dangerous disease that the management of high-tech companies should be extra careful about. History is full of companies that lost their dominant market share positions: IBM in PCs, Kodak in cameras, Osborne computer in operating system, Wang in word processor, and many more examples could be cited for companies that lost their lead in tech markets.

What little winter we had here in Napa Valley is quickly slipping away from us, and spring is nipping at our heels. Tulips and daffodils peak through the earth after their long slumber displaying springs vibrant colors all around Nickel & Nickel.
This year we have decided to dedicate the entire garden at Nickel & Nickel to fresh herbs of every kind. Wonderful sweet herbs like tarragon, cilantro, chervil, parsley and chives, which pair so well with Chardonnay and are a great additions to any dish. Hearty, robust herbs like thyme, rosemary and oregano will make the garden an aromatic experience and are wonderful for marinating meats and fish. With our estate beehives awake and the bees hungry, our garden will soon be propagated and we will have delicious honey. Everyone wins!
Time to break out the barbecue that has been hibernating, open some Syrah or Zinfandel and grill up some nicely marinated meats and vegetables. We will be spending many hours with our hands in the dirt over the next few weeks getting everything planted, but the bounty we receive is so rewarding, it hardly seems like work.

About the Author: Dr. Peter Kraemer serves as a Historian at the U.S. Department of StatePart 2: The U.S. and the Berlin Wall | Part 3: The Fall of the Berlin Wall
To talk about the origins of the Berlin Wall, we have to go back to the end of the Second World War. You'd go back to the Yalta conference which was held between President Roosevelt, Premier Stalin, and Prime Minister Churchill in 1945 where the decision was made to divide Germany. There was not going to be an armistice or cease fire the same way there was at the end of the First World War. So Germany would require unconditional surrender and there would be a period of occupation. And so the decision was made at the Treaty of Potsdam later that year to divide Berlin along the lines of the four major powers, the four major allied powers.
Berlin, as a city, lay 110 miles within the borders of East Germany, or of the Soviet zone. It was not East Germany, but the Soviet Zone. And this created a problem because Berlin was then an isolated center of American, French, and British control within the Soviet sector. And so, as tensions rose between the west and the east, Berlin was always a vulnerable spot, a spot requiring the defense of the west. But it was also a place where East Germans could emigrate freely without much problem.
The borders between the two Germanys closed in 1952, but East Germans could still come to East Berlin and walk across the border into West Berlin and gain freedom that way. And between 1952 -- or throughout the 1950's -- roughly three million Germans, East Germans, did just that. They voted with their feet against the East German regime, so to speak. And they were primarily young people, primarily intellectuals, technicians, engineers, scientists, people who would be valuable to the East German state. And so the situation grew to a crisis. The East German population actually decreased during the 1950's because of this outward emigration. And so in 1961, the crisis came to a head and on August 13, 1961, the East German government constructed a wall that bisected the city of Berlin.
The Berlin Wall began in 1961 as a simple razor wire divide and the streets were cut off. There was an effort to impede movement obviously between the two halves of the city. And what's important to remember is that the Berlin Wall constantly was improved by the East German government. That is, it was made more technologically sophisticated. It was increasingly militarized from 1961 to 1989.

Nathan Marquardt vs. Wilson Gouveia
R1 - Marquardt opens with an inside leg kick followed by an outside that misses. The two are hesitant to engage. Marquardt shoots some punches to the body before a high right kick that clips Gouveia. Gouveia begins to throw low kicks of his own. Marquardt throws a left high and a right low. Neither is committing to combinations, both still only firing out single shots. Marquardt barely misses a superman punch. Gouveia hits a cross-jab combination as Marquardt backs off. A right high connects with Gouveia's shoulder but he fires back, chasing Marquardt on the fence. He begins controlling the pace, late into the round and the two exchange short flurries of punches. Finally Marquardt shoots for a single and scores a take down. But Gouveia has a strong guillotine on. Marquardt escapes to cheers from the crowd. Marquardt escapes the guard, rolling Gouveia on his head. He sends short knees to the side of Gouveia before the round is up.
R2 - Both men start round two with care. Each respecting the strength of the other and knowing that one small mistake could be a disaster. The two fight on the fence, exchanging short, but vicious punches, Gouveia's back to the fence. As Gouveia chases Marquardt to the other side of the cage, he overswings and misses a right. Marquardt capitalises and tries to take his back but winding up in Gouveia's guard where he throws short punches and shoulder butts. Gouveia tries to tie up Marquardt arms as his head is on the fence. Marquardt pulls him up to a standing guillotine before separating. Gouveia is beginning to look tired and Marquardt are beginning to connect more readily. A knee connects, followed by another flurry of short punches and another knee on the fence.
R3 - Marquardt begins throwing some light and sloppy kicks. Gouveia gets angry and begins forcing the pace. Marquardt connects with some punches to the body. Another combination from Marquardt has him taking to the back of Gouveia where it is unclear if he is looking for a suplex or other takedown. Eventually Gouveia turns into him and he attempts a single leg, but it is clear that both men are tired. They separate and Gouveia tries to be more aggressive. A flying knee from Marquardt phases Gouveia and he takes the opportunity to follow it up with a series of high kicks, a spinning back fist that flies over Gouveia's head. Finally Gouveia drops to the ground, covering his head and the referee stops the fight.
Nathan Marquardt def. Wilson Gouveia by TKO, 3:10 R3
Chael Sonnen vs. Demian Maia
R1 - Maia opens with a strong cross that doesn't connect. He follows with a left kick that is caught and is promptly thrown to the ground. But Sonnen wants the fight standing. Maia dives in with a rugby tackle and tries to pull Sonnen into his guard. Sonnen is controlling the ground and manages to stand out the guard, eating a short upward punch in the process. Finally the two men stand up and Maia throws an overhand left to clinch with double underhooks. He belly to belly suplexes Sonnen and on the ground secures a triangle choke leaving no option for his opponent but to tap.
Demian Maia def. Chael Sonnen by Submission (Triangle Choke) 2.37 R1
Josh Koscheck vs. Paulo Thiago
R1 - Koscheck hesitantly touches Thiago's glove and the two circle the centre of the cage. Both throw heavy punches, neither connect. Thiago is the first to connect with a right low. Each one is calculating a big shot but neither committing. A massive overhand right from Koscheck connects and Thiago is lucky to not have been dropped. A strong one two from Koscheck also connects and he begins working the jab. Thiago must be feeling tentative given the shots he's eaten. The crowd boo at the lack of actual strikes. Koscheck works an overhand right - left high kick on the fence. With Koscheck looking to be in charge, a perfectly timed right uppercut - left hook combination knocks out Koscheck. Thiago drops his hands, confident of his victory and the referee steps in to stop the fight before any further damage is done. The crowd and Koscheck are not happy.
Paulo Thiago def. Josh Koscheck by KO, 3.29 R1

Kelly escapes an armbar attempt to land in Mandaloniz's guard. The crowd begin to boo at the relative lack of activity on the ground. They are heavily backing the home fighter, Kelly. As the fighters stand up, Mandaloniz forces the pace, with Kelly striking on the retreat.

He follows up with a punch to his downed opponent, but the fight is over and Markham is out.
Dan Hardy def. Rory Markham by KO 1.09 R1
Yeah I'm watching right now (I'm in Colombia) at mmahacks.com and it is one of the best cards I have seen in a while! :w00t:
In my youtube predictions (I get bored here, I don't speak Spanish! Dont judge!) I used my nostradamus like intuition :wacko: to predict that this card would be the polar opposite of 94 (which had the record number of decisions and lenght of fights) and boy howdy was I right! As of 4:50pm EST all but 1 fight has ended by Sub, KO or TKO and there is only one fight left, which is Diego Stevenson!
This card rocks! So much better than 94. Take that all you haters claiming this card was lame! :tongue0011:
I guess the fighters listened to Dana during his little pep talk in his vlog.
Sucks for who ever has to pick the fight/knockout of the night.
Heck yeah!!! I'm 6-2 so far, but one of those "mistakes" was picking Kos to win, so I'm stoked to have screwed that one up!!! C'mon, Rory & Joe, let's end this right!!!
EDIT: Dang it! O well, Rory'll come back better than ever. WAR MILETICH!!!
Diego Sanchez vs. Joe Stevenson
R1 - Sanchez is looking fired up, compared to a very calm Stevenson. The crowd are cheering despite neither being a home fighter. They circle. Sanchez attempting the first combination which misses. He shoots for a single, unsuccessfully. Stevenson fires a combination of punches on the cage. Sanchez mixes punches to the head and body but still on his back foot. A knee from Sanchez connects. Both seem happy to keep this fight standing. Stevenson wlkis into some punches and a second combination has him shooting unsuccessfully. They return to the centre of the opctagon. A heavy jab from Stevenson connects but not cleanly. Sanchez attempts another knee which is blocked, before walking onto Stevenson's jab. Again the exchange combinations of punches in the centre of the cage, before Sanchez attempts a final kick. The round is over and the two touch gloves in respect.
Concrete Kid, I agree with you, this card is far from being lame. I am really impressed at how these fights are going, and can't wait to see them.
My only mistake so far was picking Kos to win too. I might have missed the Rory fight, but I don't remember. So far so good on my picks though. :cool:
R2 - They begin the second round, again, happy to keep it standing. A knee causes Stevenson to shoot, but Sanchez capitalises. Stevenson shows his strength by picking up Sanchez over his shoulder. Sanchez uses his low kick again. They clinch on the fence and Stevenson takes a standing guillotine. A scramble on the ground leaves Sanchez trying to secure the arm for a keylock. As they separate, the crowd cheers. Both men are still looking strong but it is clear the amount of energy they have expended. Sanchez bgins to pick off Stevenson with single punches and as Stevenson aggressively fights back he also gets caught. Stevenson throws a big uppercut that connects and the two trade punching combinations, but to the delight of the audience. A nice high left kick from Sanchez finishes the round.
Round 3 starts explosively with the two staying in close proximity and only working punches. Both still have crisp strikes and single shots from either fighter are being met with big shots from the opponent. Both men begin showboating. Stevenson slips and they high five to show it was an accident;.. A big middle kick from Sanchez lands on Stevenson, spraying sweat off him. Sanchez shots, but the crowd boo. They want this to stay standing. Boos turn to cheers as they take the centre of the octagon.Stevenson begins egging on Sanchez in the last 2 minutes of the fight. He begins controlling the pace, pushing Sanchez on to the fence.Sanchex goes for a single leg and the two are tied up on the fence with Stevenson kneeing his opponent to the body. The crowd erupt in the final seconds. A flying knee from Sanchez and the two sand and trade. As the round ends, Stevenson clearly thinks he has won the fight as he runs around the cage. Diego Sanchez takes the win by unanimous decision to boos from the audience.
Diego Sanchez def. Joe Stevenson Unanimous Dec. at 5.00, R3
I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.
Poor Joe daddy, he needed a win. I really hate that Sanchez won but I'm pretty happy Kosceck lost. I'll watch the fights when they come on west coast time.
Oh, and Mike C won. Very cool :0
Yeah, Kos was my only mess up, and I lost a bunch of fake money on him.
Though it's kinda easy sometimes with the UK cards, so when I am not familiar with the fighters I play a little game called "Pick the Brit"

Technical Resources
This dot density map shows the total number of 1987 non-highly erodible cropland acres. Dots are aggregated by and placed randomly within 8- digit hydrologic units. Each red dot represents 25,000 acres of non-highly erodible cropland. Areas with 95% or more Federal area are shaded gray. There were 116.8 million acres of non- highly erodible cropland in the U.S. in 1987. For comparison with highly erodible cropland, see map m5995.
Cautions for this Product:
See definition of Highly Erodible Land. This map may not be used to determine site-specific information. Within an 8-digit hydrologic unit, dot counts represent acreage totals correctly plus or minus one dot to account for remainders. Data are not collected on Federal land. Data are not available for Alaska or the Pacific Basin. Data for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are aggregated by 6-digit hydrologic unit.

Distributor: USDA-NRCS-RIAD
NRI sample data are generally reliable at the 95% confidence interval for state and certain broad substate area analyses. Generally, analyses that aggregate data points by smaller geographic areas and/or more specific criteria result in fewer data points for each aggregation and therefore less reliable estimates. NRI maps reflect national patterns rather than site- specific information.
Aggregate Layer: Cross of State with 8 Digit Hydrologic Units and Federal Land
Other Layers Displayed: States, Rivers
A Land cover/use category that includes areas used for the production of adapted crops for harvest. Two subcategories of cropland are recognized: cultivated and noncultivated. Cultivated cropland comprises land in row crops or close-grown crops and also other cultivated cropland, for example, hayland or pastureland that is in a rotation with row or close-grown crops. Noncultivated cropland includes permanent hayland and horticultural cropland. [NRI-97]
Erodibility Index (EI):
The soil erodibility index (EI) provides a numerical expression of the potential for a soil to erode considering the physical and chemical properties of the soil and the climatic conditions where it is located. The higher the index, the greater the investment needed to maintain the sustainability of the soil resource base if intensively cropped. It is defined to be the maximum of (RxKxLS)/T (from the Universal Soil Loss Equation) and (CxI)/T (from the Wind Erosion Equation), where R is a measure of rainfall and runoff, K is a factor of the susceptability of the soil to water erosion, LS is a measure of the combined effects of slope length and steepness, C is a climatic characterization of windspeed and surface soil moisture and I is a measure of the susceptability of the soil to wind erosion. Erodibility Index scores equal to or greater than 8 are considered highly erodible land. (NRI, 1992)
The wearing away of the land surface by running water, waves, or moving ice and wind, or by such processes as mass wasting and corrosion (solution and other chemical processes). The term "geologic erosion" refers to natural erosion processes occurring over long (geologic) time spans. "Accelerated erosion" generically refers to erosion that exceeds what is presumed or estimated to be naturally occurring levels, and which is a direct result of human activities (e.g., cultivation and logging). [NSSH-96]
Federal land:
A land ownership class designating land that is owned by the Federal Government. It does not include, for example, trust lands administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs nor Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) land. No data are collected for any year that land is in this ownership. [NRI-97]
Highly Erodible Land (HEL):
Land that has an erodibility index of eight or more (NFSAM).
Non-Highly Erodible Land:
Land that has an erodibility index of less than eight. NRI, 1997

First-time Homeowner Starting from Scratch
Home improvement projects, such as painting and upgrading your property, add value to your house, but don't overlook your outdoors to create a perfect relaxation spot to escape from the every-day routine. Designing an outdoor room can help build on your investment in homeownership.
- Smart design – Be strategic in your selections and start slowly. Select quality pieces and think about how to allocate the space you have to highlight the best attributes of your home.
- Plan your attack
- During your first year, pick your basic elements – an appliance to cook on, something to sit on, and a hearth product to extend your outdoor season. These cornerstones will clearly define the spaces you will use for grilling, entertaining and eating.
- When you are ready for the next step, you may want to upgrade your patio furniture or add more comfortable seating that will complement your style and suit your needs in the allocated space.
- Finally, don't neglect the landscaping and accessories for your outdoor oasis. Finish off the project with plants, an umbrella and possibly a water feature.

To build appreciation for the science of immunology, we need to find the fun in it.
Many thousands of people spend their lives in windowless laboratories, standing day in and day out, barely speaking to their silent lab mates, often working in a 4°C room, or holding their arms up for hours while they conduct their experiments inside the awkward, but sterile cell culture hood.
Why are they doing this?
They are immunologists. Immunologists address the problems of the immune system that their fellow humans have to live with, like Leukemia, AIDS, allergies and autoimmune disorders. Immunologists use biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology and genetics to look for ways to help patients and prevent disease.
So, we could simply say that these immunologists are serving their fellow man. But their motivation is not simply to help mankind. Something else drives them to spend those days in a tissue culture hood counting thousands of white blood cells.
Why did these immunologists take the lab path? Why didn't they become social workers, firemen or even medical doctors? Well, I'll tell you. Immunology is fun. Immunology involves watching cells identify and destroy other cells. These cells appear to be very similar to every other cell in the universe. These cells have outer membranes, nuclei, DNA and proteins that are almost indistinguishable from every other cell.
The questions are why this particular cell kills bacteria. Why doesn't this cell kill all types of bacteria? Why does this cell in some people, not kill bacteria? The answers involve making endless comparisons between healthy and sick patients, between pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria, between humans and mice and between mice and flies.
So, Immunology is a puzzle. How does the puzzle work? We collect up as many clues as we can, we make a guess, we do an experiment and we try to figure out whether our idea was correct. We compare what we thought would happen to what did happen.
We have tools we can use. And we have rules for addressing these puzzles. We have several paths that others have taken before us that guide our way: We have biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, chemistry and physics. Each of these paths have their own rules and their own tools.
If you could jump in and try out these tools, and attempt a few of the puzzles yourself, then you would understand how immunology works. You would experience the fun! This is what we are doing with Immune Attack 2.0: we are letting you play Immunology… without the hours of standing in a windowless lab.

Sweeter than soy sauce but OK substitute
Posted by 4665503560050011313 on Nov 27, 2013
A little disappointed, since I expected something tasting a little more lika soy sauce (which I miss a lot, breastfeeding child with soy allergy). This was sweeter and had a scent of coconut. But it's good and better than no soy at all:-).
It's okay
Posted by abbyca on Nov 01, 2010
I think I'm too much of a soy sauce lover to give it up entirely although I do like the fact that this product comes close in flavor and is less salty than regular soy sauce.
Posted by 5734304313578817311 on Mar 18, 2015
It is a very good product in itself, but to me, it does not replace soy sauce. It is sweeter (in taste not sure about content). I might keep it in my fridge going forward but I will have to experiment on how to use it best. I am still to find a gluten and soy free "soy-like sauce". Any advice welcome :-)
Good substitute
Posted by Flossiesfavorites on Sep 27, 2015
Having lived most of my life in Japan where I'm used to non GMO soy sauce at it's best, I can't say I love the taste of this as a soy sauce substitute. However, if you're needing to avoid soy, this is better than living without soy-sauce flavored food altogether. Just know that it will not taste the same as soy sauce.
Not a big fan
Posted by 5625657342130073188 on Oct 22, 2014
We found this to be ok, sort of nice but I prefer just a bit of sea salt to add flavour. The flavour was a little strange. Was hoping to really like it though .......Click YES if this was helpful and feel welcome to rate & read my other reviews
Posted by 5667746438203659769 on Aug 10, 2014
Product arrived x3 and leaked into snap lock bag. Outside labels were soaked/damaged.
It's sweet...
Posted by saralovesiherb on Nov 09, 2014
I may have missed something, but I wouldn't call this a seasoning sauce. It's really really sweet. I felt like I was covering my food in sugar (after reading the label, I pretty much was) and wasn't as expected.
It is ok
Posted by 5287965161169056312 on Aug 12, 2015
Definitely taste different from soy sauce and seems to taste good only on certain food. Its a little sweet for me. Still a good healthy replacement seasoning sauce though.
I supposed if you can't have soy...
Posted by 4613621240601653602 on Dec 13, 2015
This is a soy-substitute, but I personally just prefer the taste of soy sauce. This is too sweet. I haven't tried other brands of coconut aminos, but I wouldn't buy it again.
still trying to acquire a taste...

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Panicking Brokers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "If I was a broker, I'd be telling my clients to sell, " Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday, as he explained the thinking behind today's post-election selloff.
Brokers are always looking for excuses to get their clients trading so they can earn more commissions, and Tuesday's presidential election provided them with plenty.
First, there was an expectation by some in the markets that Mitt Romney may actually pull off a win, and those trades in coal, defense and health-care stocks are now being unwound in a hurry. Second, there are still worries in Europe, as Germany announced Wednesday that even its strong economy may be showing signs of a slowdown.
If those two excuses don't convince a client to sell, Cramer said there's still the elephant in the room, the fiscal cliff. Nothing changed in last night's election, he noted, the President is still the President and the Democrats and Republicans still control their respective houses of Congress.
That means the fiscal cliff is just as likely to occur today as it was last week. Thus it would only be wise, a broker would say, to take some profits ahead of what could be increased capital gains taxes next year.
That thinking would lead brokers to advise selling the big winners, said Cramer, stocks like retail and of course, Apple (AAPL) , a stock he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS.
That would also lead to selling in the big dividend stocks including AT&T (T) and ConEd (ED) because as both of those companies' dividends would be affected by the fiscal cliff.
"Raise cash and avoid Europe" are likely the mantras being repeated by brokers nationwide, said Cramer, which makes today's selloff totally logical. It's just too easy for the brokers to pass up, he concluded.
Executive Decision
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer once again spoke with Alan McKim, chairman and CEO of Clean Harbors (CLH) , a company whose stock rose 3% Wednesday after the company reported strong earnings. Cramer last spoke with McKim last week after Clean Harbors announced the acquisition of privately held Safety Kleen .
McKim said Clean Harbors currently has over 700 people working to help clean up after Hurricane Sandy. He said his company is providing logistics support for fuel and generators as well as actual cleanup services for governments, corporations and private individuals.
McKim also noted Clean Harbors maintains a standby response group for disasters just like Sandy or the Macondo oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. He said that group is constantly providing training for disasters and is always at the ready when needed. Clean Harbors has a unique advantage because it has people and systems specifically for disaster cleanup work.

Docomomo US TOUR DAY 2011: ILLINOIS
|Farnsworth House PLUS by Bus
|Chicago, IL
|Docomomo US/ChicagoMidWest [1]
Chicago Architecture Foundation [2]
|Thursday October 6, 2011 at 9:30 am
This full day tour by deluxe motor coach presents some of the greatest works of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a pioneer of Modernism and one of the most influential architects of the twentieth Century, who lived and worked in Chicago for over 30 years. We begin with a visit to the twin towers designed by Mies on Chicago's lakefront, considered to be the first modern skyscrapers. Next we tour the campus of Illinois Institute of Technology, originally designed by Mies. Here we visit the magnificent Crown Hall, which Mies himself described as his best work. Along the way we view renowned buildings designed by architects influenced by Mies: John Hancock Center, Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), Lake Point Tower and more. The afternoon of the tour is devoted to an exploration of Farnsworth House, the famous "glass house" created by Mies in an idyllic country setting, about 60 miles from Chicago. We will enjoy an included buffet lunch en route. Tours depart from the CAF Shop and Tour Center, 224 South Michigan Avenue. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to departure.

In the years following World War II, Chicago established itself as a world capital of Modern architecture. On this tour we examine many of the buildings that helped earn Chicago this reputation, from the elegant minimalism of Mies van der Rohe's Federal Center to the brawny expressiveness of the Richard J. Daley Center. We also look at the rise of Postmodernism, as evidenced by structures like Philip Johnson's 190 South LaSalle. Modernism is flowering once again in Chicago, and we'll look at contemporary examples like Trump Tower, the Art Institute's Modern Wing, and the recently completed tower at One South Dearborn. Tours depart from the CAF Shop and Tour Center, 224 South Michigan Avenue.

Gang Gang Dance is a band with a sound that's hard to describe. They've been labeled "avant-garde," "experimental," "innovative," and everything in between. While those descriptions are all accurate to some degree, we prefer to think of them as an amazing band that continues to grow and surprise us after ten years of playing music together. They've carved a distinctive niche for themselves in the New York music scene and acquired a loyal international following as well. Their music relies heavily on both electronic and traditional instruments played in non-traditional way, and their live shows have become particularly infamous. It has led them to play shows with the likes of Sonic Youth, Animal Collective, Spank Rock, and TV on the Radio throughout their career. Though busy recording their new record (their fifth), they agreed to sit down and let us pick their brains about the bands early beginnings, how they like to define their sound, and the future of Gang Gang Dance.
The Creators Project: Please introduce yourselves and tell us what you play in the band.
Liz Bougatsos: I'm the singer for Gang Gang Dance. Sometimes people call me Blizza because it's like an emotional blizzard when we're on stage. It's like a cool catastrophe.
Brian Degraw: I play the synthesizers and percussion and do some vocals and effects.
Josh Diamond: I play sounds through my guitar.
How did you guys first meet?
LB: There is this café in New York called the Pink Pony where a lot of avant-garde musicians hang out. Josh actually worked there so he would curate shows and stuff and we would go and play together.
JD: I moved to New York in 1995 and didn't have anyone to play with. Then I met these guys and we've been doing this for ten years now.
A lot of people describe your music as avant-garde. Do you think that label suits your sound?
BD: It's more like spiritual music, more instinctive. It's about emotion and feeling more than anything else. I think a lot of electronic music strives to be the opposite—to be sort of robotic and futuristic. We're just trying to approach music more like everyone's a drummer.
LB: I don't even know what avant-garde is anymore as a term, but I think it's just people doing their own thing in their own way.
JD: Maybe that is what avant-garde is these days. What means something to me is that our music sounds like our music and not anyone else's.
How is technology utilized in the creative process?
LB: I'm the least technological person in the band. Give me a stick and I'll play you a rhythm. That's my style. I really think it's the man behind the mirror when it comes to technology. Now that we have the internet, electronics goes hand-in-hand with that. But we've always been an electronic band. We've always wanted to plug in.
BD: The biggest influence technology has on our music is purely from the sounds we use and the places they come from. They're some pretty obscure electronic instruments and some not so obscure, but it's the basis of the whole sound. Our music is a synthetic sound.
But it feels very organic as well. How do you get to an organic sound using a synthetic one?
BD: By not knowing what we're doing. Rather than sitting and reading a manual and learning every possibility of a certain instrument, we actually have to play it live and be more physical with our instruments. That's the key. I think that's how we end up sounding more organic and electronic at the same time.
Technology, especially in the last decade, has changed how music is being composed, recorded, and listened to. Do you see this as a positive thing?
JD: Now it's just so accessible. These days a 15-year-old with an average laptop can make an amazing record in their bedroom after school. I think, because technology is so involved these days, it's made the process of making music a lot easier and a lot more accessible to everybody. It's a difficult time because people want to hear these new sounds and everybody can make them, but I think it takes something special to make special sounds.
What else is on the horizon for Gang Gang Dance?
LB: We're working on our new album now.
BD: We're going to try and make a book, which we've wanted to do for a long time. I don't really know what it'll be until we start it. That's kind of how we do things.
JD: I'd love for this to keep going. That's a bit of a dream because I think it's hard for people. But I think as a creative dream it kind of satisfies itself because something is always going on that is innovative and artistic.

David Akers (1975/88): All the early Carson City Mint Eagles are very rare and the 1876-CC is no exception. In terms of overall rarity, it is on a par with the 1872-CC, 1873-CC and 1875-CC and is only a little less rare than the 1878-CC. From the standpoint of condition rarity, it is near the top of the series ranking fourth according to average grade. As is the case with the other CC Eagles of this period, most 1876-CC Eagles are softly struck on the hair curls around Liberty's face.

Defy IT boundaries
Software-Defined Storage is shared storage deployed as software. It is a way for your business applications and underlying storage services to share hardware resources.
Which is the right approach for your Software-Defined Data Center?
Storage within the Software-Defined Data Center requires open APIs with a programmatic approach to orchestration and can be delivered in a choice of unique forms depending on your design points for optimization:
Cost optimization with Software-Defined Storage—pure software such as Virtual Storage Appliances (VSAs) co-located with applications
Service level optimization with Service-Refined Storage—dedicated multi-tenant system virtualized for unpredictable Tier-1 demands
Leading the way in open orchestration with Software-Defined Storage
Converged Storage lays innovation foundation
Programmatic control of infrastructure via open and standards-based APIs plus application-specific orchestration environments is a defining requirement in the Software-Defined Data Center—and a core part of our Converged Storage strategy since 2010. We led the effort to extend the OpenStack framework to Fibre Channel storage and hook into important applications from ISVs such as Microsoft, VMware and SAP.
Highly automated Software-Defined Data Centers eliminate physical and management silos across storage, services and networks. With characteristics of cloud or IT-as-a-Service (ITaaS) deployments, you can:
Deploy applications in minutes not weeks
Focus resources less on IT operations and more on business innovation
|From HP
|Driving innovation
|HP and OpenStack
|Automated and standards-based provisioning of storage for ITaaS
|HP CloudOS
|Enterprise-grade OpenStack distribution and application modeling
|HP CloudSystem
|Open and integrated cloud platform for building and managing services
|HP Storage Solutions
|Integrated orchestration for applications from Microsoft, VMware and other ISVs
Realizing cost optimization with Software-Defined Storage with StoreVirtual VSA
Proven Software-Defined Storage leadership
While the term is new, the concept isn't. HP has been shipping Software-Defined Storage for more than 6 years—reducing costs and footprint for customers. We have over 600,000 StoreVirtual VSA licenses distributed with advanced features not available with less mature Software-Defined solutions.
Software-Defined Storage delivers robust services to help you:
Reduce costs by leveraging hardware you already own
Avoid lock in with hardware and hypervisor agnostic deployments
Expand non-disruptively with scale-out and federated data mobility
|Know your optimization options
|Software-Defined Storage
|Software-Refined Storage
|Your optimization design requirements are an important consideration when selecting the form of storage needed for your Software-Defined Data Center. Whether you are optimizing for cost or service level will determine whether Software-Defined or Service-Refined Storage is the right choice.
Automotive supplier uses HP StoreVirtual VSA for all of its branches
"The converged HP infrastructure offers the necessary scalability and flexibility that we require in the dynamic automotive sector. This not only means that we can quickly increase our storage capacities when necessary, it also means that we can move this capacity between individual branches."

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary AnswersAbout the Author: Special Representative Farah Pandith is the Special Representative to Muslim Communities.
On Wednesday, Secretary Clinton visited the ancient Kazan Kremlin in the Republic of Tatarstan, the center of Muslim education, culture and faith in Russia. She met with local officials and held discussions with religious leaders to learn more about Kazan's experience in fostering mutual respect and promoting interfaith understanding.
With large Muslim and Orthodox Christian communities, Kazan is a model of ethnic and religious diversity and a powerful example of mutual respect among people of different backgrounds and faiths. It is home to the Russian Islamic University, the Kul Sharif Mosque, the largest in Eastern Europe, and also a 16th Century Annunciation Cathedral. The Kazan Kremlin was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible (1547-1584), and the fortress is built on an ancient site that dates from the Muslim period of the Golden Horde in the 13th Century. Legend has it that the last queen of Kazan leapt to her death from the Suyumbika Tower as Moscow's forces retook Kazan. Today this region has become one of the most developed areas in Russia, and the Tatarstan government claims the lead in the number and diversity of religious organizations in Russia.
Many people do not realize just how diverse Muslim communities around the world are. According to a report published last week by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, about one-fifth of the world's Muslims live as religious minorities in their home countries. Russia, for example, is home to almost 16.5 million Muslims.
I spent the past week traveling through Nigeria and Kazakhstan meeting with civil society leaders, students, government leaders, journalists, and scholars. Both Nigeria and Kazakhstan are home to historic Muslim communities and a tradition of respect for religious diversity. (Muslims make up about half the population in each country.) Just this week in Astana, Kazakhstan, I saw an inter-faith center that is home to the "world's religions," symbolizing the importance Kazakhstan places on mutual respect. Last week in Kano, Nigeria, where Islam has been part of the community since the 1400s, the people I spoke with talked about their excitement that America recognizes how critical it is that we learn from each other. In almost every meeting, we talked about the importance of building mutual respect for each other regardless of faith, ethnicity, or background. Without respect and partnership, we can't build a strong future or inspire the next generation to work together.
The Secretary's visit to Kazan helped highlight this important point: people of different faiths and ethnicities can cherish their heritage and still live and learn together to build a thriving economy and a bright future.
SNP in Syria writes:
That religious harmony and tolerance in Kazan Secretary Clinton spoke about was made possible not by choice and people enlightenment, but rather due to the use force by 70 Years of Soviet rules. There was little tolerance to religious sectarianism for decades in Russia of which, now, it left an indelible mark on the society, especially in cities like Kazan, Ufa and Samara (the outline region of the Damascus based Ummayyad rule which every Shia dream about helplessly today), but that is not the case in places like Ekaterinburg, Nizhni Novgard or even Moscow to name a few, where Moslems faces daily harassment just as in any other city in America today. From firsthand experience you can note that Russian Jews, even ones that immigrated to Israel, have the same tolerance to Moslem and Christians. Rarely, for Russian Jews religion is an object of attention or discrimination, this is not the case with American Jewry and for sure not the case with the American-Western Christians who showed their true evil nature for many generation, culminating in the September 11 and fictitious war on Terror, which was nothing more than a Christian religious crusade of utmost evil and diabolic intent.
Vil in New Jersey writes:
I found some tapes with Hillary's conversation with Shaimiev. She told that she found a good example of interconfessional peace in Tatarstan which she'll recommend to others. Taking into account that only 6-7 % of Tatars are going to Mosques for prayes how somebody can talk about these topics? Unfortunately, Tatars lost their religion passion during bolshevik's dictatorship and it is impossible to compare Tatarstan with real Muslim countries where all population is going to Mosques everyday.Right now Tatarstan is country of non-believers. By the way this Shaimiev contributed a lot to this bolshevik crusade against the Islam as a First Secretary of the Tatarstan's regional Committee of the Communist Party of the USSR. In 1989 he declared that he doesn't believe in Good. May be assistants of Ms. Clinton don't know about it but they have to.
Ron in New York writes:
Kudos for Kazan: The best way to craft the future is to revisit the past. In 1993, a young Russian near Moscow University, told me "under the Soviet system we were marching in the wrong direction for 70 years". Religion was not the only casualty. Many cultures were subordinated to a failed economic and political plan.
Jack in Virginia writes:
I logged on to comment the Secretary's trip, but feel compelled to address SNP's comments.
SNP, have you ever visited the United States? If so, you would have found large communities of Muslim Americans in many major cities who practice their faith, free from the type of harassment that one finds in Moscow. The way Muslims are treated in Moscow and how they are treated by their fellow citizens in the United States in incomparable.
Of course, there is discrimiation against Arabs and Muslims in the United States, but that is the exception, not the rule. Islam is one of the fasting growing religions in America, and thousands of Muslims emmigrate to this country every year because they can practice their faith in whatever way they see fit - free from harassment. If they want to wear a hijab, no problem. If they want to wear a niqab, no problem. If they want to pray five times a day, the U.S. Constitution gives Muslims - or anyone from any other faith - that right to do so during the work day. What's more, there are laws - U.S. Civil Rights laws - that protect ethnic minorities and religious minorities from discrimation in America. Does Russia offer such protections? I think not.
So, before you go spouting off the typical conspiracy theories from the Middle East about "the Great Satan," get your facts straight and spare us your commentary on things you know little about.
Best, Jack.

QUOTE-The government should be spying on Muslims even if they are not suspected of committing crimes, in order to hunt down terrorists before they strike, the head of an anti-extremist thinktank has said.
Ed Husain, of the Quilliam Foundation, said it was the morally right thing to do, and that waiting until people had fallen prey to extremism and were drawn into terrorism was too late.
The foundation received $700,000 from the government for its counterterrorism work as part of a strategy called Prevent. That included $400,000 from the Office for Security and Counterterrorism, which finances projects trying to counter extremism on UK campuses and monitoring websites that appear to endorse Islamist violence- END QUOTE
Jack in Virginia writes:
@ SNP in Syria -- So, that's it? That's the evidence you put forth to indict the United States of America?
Listen, as I said before, America's not perfect - far from it - but what you fail to understand when you cite these things (if, indeed, they are true) is that none of it refutes the America I've described below. A tolerant country that is welcoming of Muslims. Yes, America has sometimes treated it's Muslim citizens with less respect than they deserve - I readily admit this. This is not only regrettable, it's down right wrong. However, there are millions of Muslim Americans that have chose to live in the United States, raise their children here, and strive for a better life because this is a damn good place to live.
Frankly speaking, if you were to compare the freedoms we enjoy here in America to the police state you claim to hail from, I'll pick Denver over Damascus any day of the week.
SNP, I know there is racism and discrimiation in America. I know it because, as an African American, I have experienced it first hand. I'm not a Muslim, but many of my closest friends are and I have seen the discrimination they face. It angers me, and I wish it did not exist in America. But, even with the discrimiation that still remains in our society, I still believe that America is a great nation and a place that still greets the world with "an open hand."
I realize that I may not be able to change your view of my country, but I hope someday you'll be able to see the greatness of America. I hope you will come to understand that a nation that elected a man named Barack Hussein Obama is a nation with a good heart and an open hand. That our imperfections don't cast a shadow over the aspirations of America and Americans.

Synagogues can be found in all shapes, sizes, and styles in many places around the world. Jewish communities have historically adopted popular architectural styles to build their places of worship, and this remains the case to this day. Numerous prominent modern synagogues can be found across the United States designed by well known modern architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Kahn, Minoru Yamaski, and Marcel Breuer.
"It's like living inside a giant sapphire"
In the early 1950's, the building committee of the First Presbyterian Church in Stamford, CT was evaluating where to put a typical white-steeple New England church on their vacant 11-acre campus. A member of the committee had just returned from a business trip in Michigan. There he saw a church in Midland designed by Alden Dow, a modernist architect. The committee's dialogue changed in mid-stream. The result was a exemplary, modernist sacred space designed by Wallace K. Harrison.

"Live Music Capital of the World," "City of the Violet Crown," "Silicon Hills," and "Bat City" are Austin nicknames known the world over. Should "New Deal Utopia" be among them? More specifically, is it appropriate to refer to Austin as a "Public Housing Haven" for its important legacy in this area? I would argue that it is.

This fall, as part of the Documentation and Interpretation course in Pratt Institute's Historic Preservation program, five graduate students (including myself) were given a project that involved researching five of New York's public housing developments on the Lower East Side. We were each assigned one site that included the Smith Houses, the LaGuardia Houses, the Baruch Houses, the Wald Houses, and Jacob Riis Houses. The project had two objectives: one was to provide research and consultation for the New York Environmental Law and Justice Project (NYELJP) who, in November, brought a lawsuit against the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) in an attempt to stop their recently proposed Land Lease plan.

Evansville, Indiana – nestled in southwestern Indiana at its juncture with Illinois and Kentucky – is certainly not a place that comes to mind when thinking about modern architecture. Guarded in tradition and a conservative aesthetic, Evansville can be likened to many communities throughout the country in that more recent architectural narratives have been overshadowed or simply neglected or forgotten, depreciated against more traditional concepts. Put simply, modern architecture has gone unnoticed in Evansville.

Much of the blame for the failures of the American urban renewal era was placed on the Modernist architects who designed the redevelopment schemes. The Hyde Park A & B Urban Renewal Project designed by I.M. Pei and Harry Weese & Associates is an example of a redevelopment that has integrated into its surrounding neighborhood by responding to its historic context.

In June 2013 Docomomo US featured an article on the plight of Edward Durell Stone's (1966-67) World Trade Center in New Orleans. The former International Trade Mart Building was in danger of being demolished while the city was considering three proposals concerning the redevelopment of the building and site, a situation more and more mid-century commercial buildings are encountering as they are considered out-of-date and left vacant. However, hotels like Starwood's W and Aloft brands have started to target mid-century commercial buildings, like The World Trade Center, for redevelopment rather than going the route of new construction.

On a recent trip to Albany, New York, I stumbled upon a gem of mid-century architecture: the former Adirondack Trailways Bus Station. Handsome and thoroughly functional in its form with bus bays nestled under a supported second floor waiting room, the building, even in its abandoned state, looks to be in surprisingly good condition and spirit. Built at the same time as the well-documented Empire State Plaza (Harrison & Abramovitz, 1959-1972), there seems to be very little information on the terminal's opening date, design or architects. Wondering what other mid-century bus terminals might still be out there, I asked the writers of the Midcentury Mundane blog to help me find some of those remainders and look at the highlights of long-distance bus terminals.
