Repurposing and renovation have gained greater appeal in the years since the overwhelming success of The High Line, extending to a variety of applications and structures. At the recent Milan Design Week, MAD took this to a new level by showcasing their proposal for a new masterplan of Milan, which transforms dilapidated rail yards into a series of thriving new city districts, or micro-systems.

According to MAD, these spatial districts, termed "City of Connections," "City of Green," "City of Living," "City of Culture," and "City of Resources" each address "a vernacular development typical of Italian cities, where various typological elements and scales are overlapped into dense systems of relations. Designing first at the human scale within recognizable landmarks, the broader urban scale is connected to smaller ones through the interjection of topographic landscapes, serving to unify the continually changing relations of the pedestrian, city, and nature. Each of the yards, following t...

From winning the Pritzker to curating the Venice Biennale, the Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena had a pretty good 2016. Apparently, he's still on a roll: Aravena has just been awarded the 2017 Gothenburg Award for Sustainable Design. Awarded each year to people or organizations for "outstanding performance and achievements towards a sustainable future", the award comes with 1 million swedish krona (just over $100,000).

"Mr Alejandro Aravena is an innovative Chilean architect that together with his colleagues in the 'Do-Tank' Elemental applies a design philosophy including citizens as part of the solution and not part of the problem, creating bridges of trust between people, government and business," write the jury. "All three dimensions of sustainability are balanced in a participatory process; socially, environmentally and economically."

In time for Earth Day this Saturday, the AIA and the Committee on the Environment (COTE) announced the Top Ten Green Projects for 2017. Established 21 years ago, the rigorous awards competition recognizes projects that best demonstrate sustainable design excellence.

The jury selected projects by firms like Sasaki, ZGF Architects, Payette, Mithun, and HOK, while SmithGroupJJR won the COTE Top Ten Plus honor. In light of the AIA's recently published climate-change principles, the winning projects conveyed a thoroughly integrated approach to architecture, natural systems and technology, as well as positive community impact, improving comfort for building occupants, and design strategies used to reduce environmental impact. Here are the 2017 winners:

Built to serve Saint-Laurent's diverse community in Montreal, the Bibliothèque du Boisé has collected another honorable accolade. Today, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada awarded the public library with its 2017 Green Building Award. The award will be presented during the RAIC/OAA Festival of Architecture in Ottawa on May 24 to 27.

After winning the City of Montreal's design competition, the Cardinal Hardy + Labonté Marcil + Eric Pelletier architecte consortium designed the 6,000 square-meter LEED-Platinum library, which was inaugurated in 2013. (Eric Pelletier architecte and Cardinal Hardy merged with Lemay in 2013 and 2014, respectively.)

Not far from the hustle and bustle of Farmers Park in Springfield, Missouri, the Cloud House is a getaway spot where anyone can sit and enjoy a few moments of peace and relaxation as you listen to the (somewhat simulated) sound of a gentle rain, as if you were sitting on the porch of a rural farm away from it all.

Designer Matthew Mazzotta developed the idea for the Cloud House during a two-month artist residency at Farmers Park. Mazzotta and his project team built the house from reclaimed barnwood and tin obtained from a nearby abandoned Amish farm, and its gutter system is modeled after the natural water cycle. During rainy days, the house collects rainwater as it hits the tin roof and into the storage tank underneath.

Sitting in the rocking chairs inside the house triggers a pump that brings the rainwater up into the cloud, which will then release the water onto the tin roof and produce that pleasant pitter-pattering sound of rain hitting the roof.

Founded at the MIT Sloan School of Management, Sistine creates custom solar panels designed to mimic home facades and other environments, with aims of enticing more homeowners to install photovoltaic systems. Sistine's novel technology, SolarSkin, is a layer that can be imprinted with any image and embedded into a solar panel without interfering with the panel's efficacy. Homeowners can match their rooftop or a grassy lawn.

The product caters to the growing "aesthetic solar" market which tries to attract homeowners that are considering going solar but fear the aesthetic impact of the traditional, bleak-looking dark solar panels on their home's appearance. Just last fall, Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed a line of glass, photovoltaic cell-embedded roof tiles that mimic (currently) four common roof covering styles.

Here a few more examples of Sistine's SolarSkin technology that allows—so the company claims—the panels to either completely blend in with the existing roof or display any desired image, like business logos or advertisements.

Combine cross laminated timber, glue laminated timber, and the desire to connect with nature while providing ample creative working space, and you have the 5 King Tower, a 52-meter timber structure with the strength of concrete and steel (but a much smaller carbon footprint).

The 5 King tower, designed by architects Bates Smart, is the latest in a series of proposed timber towers all around the world, and would be the tallest such building of its type in Australia.

Located in Brisbane, the tower would use glass facades to let in natural light, and also place a big emphasis on sustainable features, incorporating elements for rainwater harvesting and optimized air conditioning.

Did architects have sustainability figured out in the 1970s, and can the lessons they learned help contemporary architects design for the challenges of climate change? In an attempt to answer this question, Canada is taking a closer look at its previously built sustainable architecture during the energy crisis in the 1970s in the form of two museum exhibitions. The Globe and Mail explains that:

The 1970s has much to teach us as we face the reality of climate change and the changes that it will bring about. That insight drives two thoughtful museum shows up this winter, the PEI exhibition [curated by Dalhousie University professor Steven Mannell] and "It's All Happening So Fast" at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal.

The 130 giant wind turbines that sprout from the peaks, slicing the air with a rhythmic sigh, have helped Portugal to a remarkable achievement. For four and a half days in May the country ran entirely on electricity from renewable sources: wind, hydro and solar power. Despite fears of a blackout, the lights stayed on for a record 107 hours between 6.45am on Saturday 7 May and 5.45pm the following Wednesday.

On a small and skinny lot wedged behind its historic city hall, Santa Monica is trying to accomplish something that has never been done before in California. By 2020, the city hopes to construct a 50,000-square-foot city services building that will meet the requirements of the International Living Future Institute's "Living Building Challenge" — the most stringent environmental building standard in the world.

"Should the city succeed it will prove that net-zero water is possible in our arid climate, even in a drought — and that if we're serious about staving off the effects of drought and climate change, we should settle for no less. It will also familiarize code officials with new innovations, making it easier for developers to build sustainably."

While solar panels have been subsidized in many cities for a while now, the blocky, rectangular panels aren't heavily implemented in part because they tend to appear as, well, an addition, rather than a constitutive element of home design. That's about to change, as Tesla has announced a (potentially) revolutionary new intervention in the development of self-powered homes.

At a press event at Universal Studios, Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed a line of glass, photovoltaic cell-embedded roof tiles. And they look strikingly like old-fashioned roof tiles, coming in a four distinct styles: "Textured Glass Tile", "Tuscan Glass Tile", "Smooth Glass Tile" and "Slate Glass Tile". From above, the glass is transparent to the sun. From street-level, the solar cells aren't visible.

Tesla states that the tiles will cost less than traditional roofing when energy savings are factored in. Manufactured out of durable, long-lasting tempered glass, the roof tiles will "last longer than the house", Musk ass...

"We are simply not making significant strides in crucial metrics that predict building performance," states Greg Mella, FAIA, Director of Sustainable Design at SmithGroupJJR and co-chair of the AIA 2030 Working Group, in a new report that gauges the progress made by firms voluntarily committing to reduce the carbon emissions produced by their buildings. "These findings should serve as a wake-up call to architects that there needs to be greater urgency to drive improved energy efficiency across their project portfolios if we are going to reach our ultimate carbon reduction goals."

While a total of 152 firms submitted data, amounting to a 9% increase from 2014, the reports aren't terribly impressive. A scant 4% of the total gross square feet (GSF) represented met the target of reducing carbon emissions by 70%. And just 10% of total GSF met the previous target—a 60% carbon reduction—representing a decrease of 4% since the last report. That being said, 614 design projects met the 60% tar...

"Right now (the industry is) setting targets of 30 to 40 per cent reduction in energy savings from the current business as usual. I think that's just not enough. I am for net zero," he says. [...] "The time scale between what we know can be done and should be done, and when the technology and processes become the norm, needs to be shortened. Currently it takes about 10 to 15 years."

Gasoline-powered cars may soon be a thing of the past. But the Netherlands wants to get there quicker. The Dutch government is debating the possibility of banning new gas and diesel cars from 2025. The initial proposal, which was brought forward by the Labor Party, called for an outright ban of all petrol and diesel cars, but was eventually modified so the ban only affected the sale of new petrol and diesel cars. Traditional cars already in use will still run on the streets.

The proposal has since passed in the lower house of the Netherlands' parliament. It now needs to pass through the Dutch senate.

Howe Dell Primary in Hatfield could well be the UK's most eco-friendly school. It has toilets that flush using rainwater, sedum roofs made of plants and vegetation, and classroom sink-tops made from recycled yoghurt pots. But the school's design doesn't just help protect the environment, it also uses nature to improve children's academic performance and behaviour.

Howe Dell Primary's £10 million, eco-friendly design is used by teachers to promote sustainability to a new generation of pupils. Capita Architects were given free reign to push the limits of sustainable design in the project, which was funded by the council, and that was exactly what they did. The school features solar panels, a wind turbine, and a heating system that uses a series of pipes just below the surface of the school playground for passive gain that is then utilised to heat the school.

This groundbreaking design was awarded ECO Green Flag accreditation (the highest level awarded to sustainable schools in the UK) and places pupils in close proximity to nature. To this end, the design's wetland area and sedum roofs are used to study birds and the school places sustainability at the core of the curriculum. This learning is even extended to the playground where learning stations allow pupils to examine the habitats of micro-beasts. In this way, the whole building is understood...

The future of London's proposed garden bridge has been called into further question after the city's new mayor, Sadiq Khan, halted preparatory work on the structure over fears this could involve more public money being spent. The Garden Bridge Trust says the bridge from South Bank to Temple, featuring 270 trees and thousands of plants, will be a "tiara" for London, being both an iconic landmark and a vital pedestrian bridge.

In bone, the proportions of protein and mineral are roughly equal – the mineral gives bone stiffness and hardness, while the protein gives it toughness or resistance to fracture. While bones can break, it is relatively rare, and they have the benefit of being self-healing [...] "All of our existing building standards have been designed with concrete and steel in mind. Constructing buildings out of entirely new materials would mean completely rethinking the whole industry."

Bioengineer Dr. Michelle Oyen of Cambridge's Department of Engineering and her lab are working on ways to build artificial compounds that mimic bone and eggshell. Eventually, once scaled up, the compounds could be used as building materials.

When the mineral compounds are "templated" onto the naturally occurring animal protein of collagen, Oyen believes that the two materials could make a "lattice-type structure," stronger than the bone itself. Because this combination takes far less energy to produce than say steel or concrete, it could be used as a more energy efficient building material.

Population growth and lack of shelter are the main indicators of increased poverty in developing countries. Every year, millions of people in rural communities in tropical climates migrate to cities in search of a better life. Informal settlements proliferate on the cities' peripheries. However, what often awaits them is misfortune: few employment opportunities, lack of clean water, crowded housing spaces, crime, and other threats to their family traditions and lifestyle.

The HOMEKIT training program educates people in rural areas to sustainably cultivate bamboo and empower their villages to be self-reliant and to meet their own shelter needs. The system reduces forest depletion and contributes to the socioeconomic infrastructure of the villages. It provides safe, dignified, highly functional homes that respond to the local environment and natural disasters, connects people with the natural systems that support them, and he...

Just in time for Earth Day, the AIA and the Committee on the Environment (COTE) revealed a new set of Top Ten Green Projects for 2016. Over the last two decades, the annual awards program is considered to be the profession's most rigorous awards program for sustainable design excellence throughout the U.S. The jury chose the projects that best convey a thoroughly integrated approach to architecture, natural systems, and technology.

Here's a peek of the winners:

Rene Cazenave Apartments; San Francisco by Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects and Saida + Sullivan Design Partners, Associated Architect

H-E-B at Mueller; Austin, TX by Lake|Flato Architects, H-E-B Design + Construction, Selser Schaefer Architects

The J. Craig Venter Institute; San Diego by ZGF Architects

That is the question that plagues all these green towers. Will they really ever look like they do on the billboards? The question is important because what this outbreak of green means is that architects and developers are hiding ugly, ill-considered buildings behind curtains of foliage and if the green doesn't grow, all we're left with is the dumb, naked towers, blank and expressionless with the fig leaf of a few, well, fig leaves for cover.

The solar power industry is about to get a big boost in San Francisco. On April 19, the city's Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to become the first major US metropolitan area requiring that new buildings install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on their roofs. California already mandates that new buildings with 10 floors or less designate at least 15% of their rooftop area (pdf, p8) as being ready for solar panel installation.

"The city of San Francisco now requires that builders actually install solar panels in these areas (at a minimum) starting in 2017. Larger buildings are exempt for now."

Electric car company Faraday Future held a groundbreaking ceremony for its $1 billion manufacturing facility outside Las Vegas this afternoon, attended by Nevada governor Brian Sandoval, North Las Vegas mayor John Lee, and a host of other officials. There wasn't any actual "ground" broken, though, really — Faraday still needs to grade the land, which it says it will do "soon."

[...]

"Faraday's VP of Global Manufacturing Dag Reckhorn says that they are "moving extremely quickly for a project of this size" — a 3 million square-foot factory on 900 acres that the company claims will bring 4,300 jobs to the region over a decade — with plans to build in just two years instead of the normal four."

Renewable energy like solar and wind is booming across the country as the costs of production have come down. But the sun doesn't always shine, and the wind doesn't blow when we need it to. [...] A company called SolarReserve may have found a solution: It built a large solar plant in the Nevada desert that can store heat from the sun and generate electricity for up to 10 hours even after sundown.

It seems that every time I write a post about heels, I get numerous comments from women basically dismissing the post and telling me that they just can't wear heels. This makes me a little sad because while you can wear whatever you want if it makes you feel good, I don't think you should have to stay away from a shoe just because you think you can't.
I love fall. It is my favourite season because of the beautiful weather with a slight chill, and the rich colours that are on trend this season. To find out the latest shoes styles for fall, I spoke with Diego Greco, Product Line Developer at Hush Puppies. Diego shared with me some of the top trends for footwear this season.
I think (and most women do too) that it is so attractive when a guy has on a pair of really nice shoes. They don't have to be expensive or flashy, but just footwear that are nicely kept and a good reflection of the guy's personal style. To find out the latest on men's shoe trends for fall, I spoke with Imran Badshah, Men's Footwear Buyer for DSW Canada.
With new resorts opening at record pace, finding the perfect warm weather getaway is easier than ever before. If you're hitting the beach this spring, don't leave home without these must-have travel essentials. Comfortable, breathable clothing is no longer limited to the yoga studio. Brands like PrAna combine form and function, resulting in perfect travel gear.
Salt, a highly corrosive mineral leaves its mark not only on our footwear, but also damages the natural world, metals, and building materials. In Ontario, where I currently live, winter road salt is used so heavily that the streets are white with it and there is fine white salt powder on everything.
When I'm lecturing to students I like to ask them how much a $100 pair of shoes costs. The most common answer is $100 plus tax. Would you believe me if told you it could be as much as $1,376.46? As a 20-year-old, if you convinced yourself not to buy the shoes, and invested it instead -- with an assumed rate of return of 6 per cent -- you'd have $1,376.46 by the time you were 65 years old.
With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd find a little somethin' somethin' to wear to mark the occasion. You know -- something cute and sexy that only my Valentine would get to see. But lo and behold, once again, I left the lingerie stores empty handed, disappointed and wishing I hadn't eaten that family-size bag of Lays.
For the past decade, I've been on a mission for one thing: super cute shoes that I can wear all the time that don't make me want to gnaw my feet off Saw-style. Easy-peasy, right? Wrong. I could never guess what would make my feet revolt. What was comfy to everyone else was a sick joke to me. Fall is quickly approaching and with the demise of summer so too shall my sandals go off into the dark basement closet. Memories of painful riding boots and ankle booties dance in my head while I prepare for months of agony.

text: ATLANTA and RADNOR, Pa., Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Surgical Information Systems ('SIS'), a leader in perioperative information systems, and QlikTech, a leader in user-driven Business Intelligence (BI), announced today the companies have renewed their joint agreement to expand the use of the QlikView platform in conjunction with SIS Analytics to support perioperative performance success. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080722/SISLOGO ) As specialists in perioperative information technology, Surgical Information Systems (SIS) provides solutions that help enable improved financial performance, operational efficiency, patient safety, and quality of care to over 300 hospitals. Proven to deliver results, SIS Analytics has been granted Peer Reviewed status by the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA). Driven by market demand, SIS has expanded the availability of SIS Analytics and its role-based perioperative dashboards powered by QlikView for use with all of the leading electronic health record or perioperative information management systems, helping even more clients extend the benefits of their IT investments. The integration of the QlikView Business Discovery platform empowers users to ask a wide variety of questions, allowing them to perform deep-dive analysis based on their individual needs. "SIS Analytics seamlessly extracts data from our Epic system, transforming our data into the timely information we need," notes Lynn Witherspoon, Chief Medical Information Officer, Ochsner Health System. "In seconds, we can see an overall snapshot of our perioperative performance and easily track valuable metrics such as cost per case, room utilization by provider, or even this week's antibiotic administration compliance rates." For more than 17 years, hospitals have used SIS Analytics, now in its third generation, to drive their perioperative business intelligence strategy, achieve clinical excellence in both surgery and anesthesia, and improve their bottom line. "Like most hospitals, with the market competition and the increased pressure to be efficient and maintain our current volume, we don't have two or three years to find a solution that gives us the data that we need to make the necessary changes. SIS Analytics gives us information we can actually use," notes Amy Smith, Vice President of Perioperative Services, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. "With a simple query, we can get immediate answers, and take that data and do something with it. It has really helped us move the organization in the right direction." "In an industry where improved access to information can truly help enhance patient care, QlikView's flexible platform enables users to navigate and drill in any direction, ask any question, and interrogate extensive data streams to get the most pertinent information and accurate analysis, fast," said Ellen Derrico, Director Global Market Development, Life Sciences and Healthcare, QlikTech. "We look forward to continuing our work together with SIS to deliver an advanced analytics solution that enables users to answer even unasked questions, so they can make faster and better informed decisions that support improved patient outcomes and enhanced efficiencies that drive down costs." Proven to integrate with multiple enterprise electronic health record systems, the unique insights delivered by SIS Analytics help SIS client hospitals ensure surgeon and operating room utilization are optimized for the highest levels of efficiency, allowing them to schedule more surgeries, reduce case turnover time, and reduce wait time for patients. Powerful decision support allows hospital management to better support initiatives that improve patient safety and quality of care, while also improving compliance with government and regulatory initiatives.

1983 Luzon earthquake
|August 17, 1983
|18°14′N 120°52′E / 18.23°N 120.86°ECoordinates: 18°14′N 120°52′E / 18.23°N 120.86°E
|Areas affected
|The Philippines
|16 killed
47 injured
The 1983 Luzon earthquake struck the Philippines on August 17. It registered 6.5 on the Richter scale, killing 16 people and injuring 47. Seven towns were damaged, several buildings collapsed, and electricity was cut off in Laoag. Features like sand volcanoes and cracks formed during the quake.
In the aftermath of the earthquake, churchgoers from the Philippines prayed to God for forgiveness. The downed buildings were searched.
Damage and casualties[edit]
The earthquake struck at 8:18 PM[1] and registered Richter scale magnitude 6.5.[2] It was the most powerful earthquake to strike the Philippines in seven years. Shaking lasted 20 seconds and damaged 7 towns extensively,[1] its greatest damage occurring near Pasuquin, Laoag, Sarrat, and Batac in the Ilocos Norte province.[2]
Early reports claimed the earthquake killed 17 and injured 80 people,[1] but these numbers were later revised to 16 and 47, respectively.[2] A four-storey building collapsed, and the salesmen inside waited as long as 17 hours to be rescued; one man was rescued only to die in the hospital. Two or three other buildings also collapsed, including one in San Nicolas filled with people. Churches were damaged in Bacarra, Vintar, and Sarrat; the Sarrat church was the site of the wedding of Ferdinand Marcos' daughter Irene, and it toppled, destroying its altar and the orchestra loft from the wedding.[1] A 300-year-old statue of Saint Monica fell apart, and its head landed on the ground intact.[1] The earthquake cut off electricity in Laoag,[3] and downed a bridge elsewhere.[4]
Sand volcanoes and cracks as long as 24 m (79 ft) formed,[3] and as it ruptured, soil liquefaction and landslides occurred. A tsunami was reported but never confirmed.[2] Shaking from the earthquake also extended to Manila.[2]
The earthquake occurred exactly seven years after the 1976 Moro Gulf earthquake, which measured 7.9 on the Richter scale and caused 8000 deaths.[5]
Local authorities listed the 1983 earthquake at Richter scale magnitude 5.7,[3] but the United States Geological Survey still lists it at 6.5.[2] It was assigned a Rossi–Forel scale rating of 7, indicating the potential to be damaging.[4]
In the destroyed church in Bacarra, church members wrote notes asking God for forgiveness and believing it was his warning.[1] Reports from Manila's radio stations claimed many casualties, and a news agency reported that there were at least 100 people trapped in a downed building. The wrecks of collapsed buildings were searched, and the dead were removed from the rubble. There were two aftershocks following the main shock.[3]

Ex-State Police Head Steps Down From Wyatt Board
NewsRadio 920 WHJJ and the Associated Press
CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. (AP) — The former head of the state police is resigning as chairman of the board of a troubled federal detention facility in Central Falls.
The Providence Journal reports Brendan Doherty is stepping down at the Wyatt Detention Facility, a year after his appointment.
Mayor James Diossa says Doherty brought integrity and transparency to the organization. The report does not say why he is leaving.
Wyatt is publicly owned but operated by the quasi-public private Central Falls Detention Facility Corp.
It housed detainees for Immigration and Customs Enforcement until 2008, when the agency removed all its detainees because a Chinese man died of cancer after being neglected and abused by guards.
Diossa is nominating attorney R. Kelly Sheridan to replace Doherty.

I sped among the humans, blood flying as I did so. Soon all that was left was a circle of bodies. Running back inside, I shouted to the house to move. As it did so, I ran in to the room where they had put Zander. They looked up at me as I entered, blood staining my mouth and my eyes glowing.
"The humans," I spat, "are gone and we have moved." Zander nodded weakly. "What is happening to him?"
"Altex 49" said the doctor. I stumbled out of the room. The same illness that many of my Lii'arc friends had died of. I clung to the banister, and that's where Anju and Alanna found me minutes later, still in the same rigid position, staring in to the distance.

The purpose of AllReality.com is to help scientists and non-scientists discuss physics and consciousness in the context of theories that explain research results in both of these fields. The site both archives the monthly meetings held by the All Reality Study Group in Santa Monica, CA, and serves as an online companion for the topics discussed at those meetings.
In 2014 The portfolio site of the architectural engineering firm StructuralFocus was migrated to a Drupal 7 framework. The Drupal infrastructure allowed us to add a variety of new features, and improved the site's performance speed immensely.
Possibly the most challenging theme job ever undertaken by AIP, the design for the new Al-Jazirah site was based on a RTL (right-to-left) Wordpress theme which needed to be converted to a Drupal theme while retaining all of its bells and whistles (sliding scrollbars, slideshows, etc).
When the Queen Latifah show needed an interface for browsing and annotating viewer submissions including both images and video, AIP was brought in by Digital Kitchen to provide it. The interface, hidden from public view, allows show producers to search and sort through hundreds of submissions arriving daily, and to share notes on which submissions might make good guests for the show.
The official website of the La Grange bicycling club, based in Los Angeles, California. This state-of-the-art Drupal 7 site includes many advanced features such as racer profiles, facebook updates, event calendar, mailchimp newsletter integration, e-commerce integration, automated membership expiration and notification, team reports, race result reports and membership status reports, cycling forums, and customizable (and printable) racer resumes for each member. Design by crispelements.
Freshly updated with the brand-spankin' new Axis CMS "Shipping & Billing" Module! (I know, these are exciting times we live in!)
Migrating her wacky-chic boutique from a Miva system to Axis CMS provided San Diego's queen of kitsch with much more design flexibility, and a simpler interface for content and inventory management.
The Proximity Kitchensystem, designed and marketed by Pete Walker, reduces or eliminates the vast majority of unnecessary options, elements and configurations currently found in both domestic and imported mass-manufactured kitchen product lines.

June 28, 2011: Schemers are constantly in flux, moving from one play to another sometimes one step ahead of the law, and sometimes to escape a scheme before it blows up. Such is the case with Jason "Jes" Black's newest venture, Allied American Steel Corp.
Black purports to sport a seemingly impressive resume. Unfortunately there's more (or less, depending on how you look at it) to this resume than meets the eye. Most recently he dedicated an entire year to the water filtration business in Los Angeles until he decided that it wasn't
going to be easy money for him. He then abandoned his partner supposedly to go into the iron ore mining business. We think he's in the Pump & Dump business.
The AAST management review portion of its website neglects to mention Black's Los Angeles failure, instead choosing to portray him as the person who "represents the combined experience essential to leading American Allied Steel: business economics, market analysis and response, raising capital, asset acquisition and development, and directorship and executive management." The website forgets to mention that Mr. Black also represents a figure who does not play by the rules and thus the perfect figure to execute a Pump & Dump.
Prior to his flirtation with water filtration, Black ran a little scam called Black Flag Capital. The AAST website does recognize his time at Black Flag, well sort of, referring to it as "New York's BF Capital". For the record, BF Capital is a legitimate firm in New York. Black Flag Capital was not. The AAST also refers to Black's roles at BF Capital as being Asset Manager and Managing Director. This is kind of true, although the roles were played at Black Flag not BF and his role also included janitor, as Black Flag was a one man show. The laughable sentence in the whole paragraph about Black is the one which claims that, "Over the four years with the alternative asset management company, he never had a down year." Oh really? Well then why is Black Flag out of business? Let's look at that.
In September of 2007, the National Futures Association (NFA), which is the regulatory organization for the U.S. futures industry, filed a complaint against Black Flag Capital and Jason Black for numerous violations of its rules. Amongst the allegations in the NFA's complaint are that Black misrepresented the location of its offices in effect suggesting that no offices for Black Flag existed. The NFA also charged that Black had either misrepresented it's assets by 6200% or misappropriated those assets, of which neither scenario would have been acceptable. The NFA also accused Black of failing to cooperate with its investigation, filing false disclosure statements, and failing to file financial statements. As Black Flag and Jason Black were such small potatoes, the NFA accepted a suspension of their membership as retribution for their malfeasances.
Curiously, the AAST website also refers to Black's experience as a Senior Currency Analyst at MG Capital, LLC a now defunct New York firm seemingly similar in nature to Black Flag. The problem here is that the NFA, to which membership is mandatory, only lists Black as having spent a month at MG Capital, never having progressed beyond a temporary license. Hmmmmmm.
Are you starting to see the picture?
Interestingly, we see nothing in Black's resume that would seem to suggest that he is qualified to go into the iron ore mining business. Perhaps that is why he brought Richard Tschauder on board as Senior Geologist, a position similar to ones he holds with several public mining companies in Canada and the Untied States. Unfortunately, we are unable to find any relationship Mr. Tschauder has had over the last dozen or so years with a successful company and since he was associated with giant Hecla Mining Company. Now Hecla existed far before Mr. Tschauder came to that firm but we are amused at the way that AAST makes Mr. Tachauder and newly minted AAST Senior Exploration Adviser, Erik Ostensoe, sound like they are the reason that Hecla is a $2 billion dollar firm.
Indeed, many of the public companies associated with Mr. Tschauder since his Hecla days are now either defunct or barely trading. One might get the impression that Mr. Tschauder is a hired gun used for the purpose of providing a facade of legitimacy to a public company. We do know that some of these companies have been the subject of Pump & Dump schemes. Mr. Tschauder has been publicly accused of filing false geologist reports in connection to now defunct Atlas Mining Company, against whom a since dismissed class action lawsuit was filed.
We're concerned about a company that reported total assets of $25 cash in the bank on it's 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2011, having a market cap of $150 million, although we do recognize that the company reports having since received $99,961.50 from North American Iron Ore, Inc., " a British Columbia corporation" in a private placement of stock. The problem is that the British Columbia corporate registry does not list any such "North American Iron Ore". Excuse me? Is this a repeat of the shenanigans that ruined Jes Black at Black Flag Capital? Sure smells like it!
We're also concerned that a $150 million company has its corporate headquarters in a Pittsburgh virtual office. Well of course it does! Steel = Pittsburgh. It's a natural! We'd bet that Mr. Black has never set foot in that office. And why Allied America Steel instead of Allied America Iron? After all, you can't mine for steel. Yeah but doesn't the company sound more like U.S. Steel this way? The name, the Pittsburgh office...all important facades for a Pump & Dump.
With respect to the acquisition of 60% of the Lake Touladi Iron-Titanium property in Quebec, Canada, the deal is reportedly contingent on AAST's ability to cough up $1.6 million in exploration costs by May 7, 2012. The disturbing thing here is that under the agreement, AAST had to pay North American Iron Ore, Inc. $603,007 by June 8, 2011. In lieu of cash, the company issued issued 15,075,175 shares of stock to North American Iron Ore at a value of 4 cents per share. On June 8, the stock closed at $1.28.
This stinks to high hell!

Chapter Two: The Cottage, Part II
"Well, well… Look what we have here…."
The boy's excited tone grabbed the attention of the child, who looked up to the two boys across from him.
When his gaze fell on the book in the boy's hands, he froze; only his eyes moved as he watched the older pick something from between the book's pages and gently lift it up so it could stand in full view of everyone there.
"You have got to be joking!" The taller gave a throaty laugh, shaggy hair falling over his eyes as he bended over clutching his sides. "A flower…?! Could this kid be any more of a freak?" he said in between laughs, shoulders shacking.
"Not just any flower, but a rose at that," the boy with the dark eyes added softly, a huge grin that showed all his bad teeth still stuck to his face as he stared intently at the dry and flat rose that he rotated with his fingers.
"A rose…? Pas du tout!" exclaimed the brunette at the child's side, staring at the flower with a heavy frown on his face. "There is no such thing as a bleu rose!" he contested in a thick accent, unconsciously loosening the hold he had on the child's hair.
"Not naturally anyway…" the one holding the flower corrected in a calm manner, smile fading away but dark eyes still fixed on the rose's petals, which glowed an intense and mesmerizing blue against his dark skin.
"Someone gave you this, right?"
The child blinked his wide eyes and, quick as a whip, turned them to the holder of the flower.
"You never keep a flower like this, especially a rose, unless it was given to you by someone … and it's someone really special to you … that's why Stevie here had to practically rip that bag off from you."
"Oi! I told you not to call me that!" chided the taller with a scowl, face as red as his hair.
"And that's why you didn't speak a word when I broke your stupid glass toy," the other continued his reflections, nothing on his expression indicating that he had heard the other at all. His eyes were now fixed solely on the child's, who in turn was doing everything he could not to look at the flower in the elder's hands and keep his eyes on the boy's.
The older smirked as he noticed the look he was being given. "Oh, don't worry. I won't hurt your silly flower... If-" He paused, eyes narrowing, "you tell me who gave it to you."
The child gave a start at this, and took on a shocked expression. His restless gaze jumped between the flower and the boy holding it, before settling once more on the later.
The two of them stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity under the blazing hot sun, just staring at each other, one begging and the other unrelenting, until, finally, the child's eyes seemed to waver and he turned them away, lowering his head to stare at the ground.
Black eyes hardened at that display of behavior, but only for a fleeting moment, the frown being immediately replaced by a more relaxed expression as a twisted smile slowly took over. "Well, if that's the case, then…"
The child watched, horrified, as the other's bent fingers dropped the rose's stem, and as the flower fell soundlessly on the paved ground. His breath hitched in his throat as he saw the teen's foot once again leave the stone paved floor of the courtyard and move slowly towards the unsuspecting flower.

Consecutive Games With Wins and Saves from Pitchers Who Came To Their Team...
In the last two games, Adam Warren and Blake Parker got wins, and Tommy Layne and Tyler Clippard got saves. Does anybody know of another time where a team won consecutive games with four pitchers getting wins or saves from those two games and all four pitchers had played for another MLB team earlier that year?To read my comments about baseball, soccer, and other things, go to https://twitter.com/EvanJ3535 which I joined on June 21, 2016.

About MeMy name is Emily. I am very out going and love living in San Diego. I have always loved the art of photography and grew up in a family that loved and still loves taking a ton of pictures.

I decided to branch out and try Model Mayhem as I feel it is a good opportunity to gain more experience and work other talented people.

Turkey and Brown Rice Taco Burritos
Like I always say, if you're going to make eight burritos, you might as well make 80. Burritos freeze fabulously and are perfect to keep on hand every minute of the day.
If you do so, you can even fake your family into believing you actually thought about dinner in advance. When really, you got to 6:00 p.m., panicked because that magical and mysterious dinner angel refused to appear AGAIN, opened the freezer in desperation and spied the glorious burritos (and perhaps we can all agree that mysterious dinner angels take many forms, hmmm?).
My mom always had homemade super cheesy beef and bean burritos in the freezer. It was a staple for those late night second dinners as a teenager (I'd kill for that same metabolism now, BTW) and weekend lunches.
A love of burritos, frozen burritos, was instilled in me from a young age. That's why I love this recipe and this one and why there are always burritos in my freezer. Plus, you never know what your kids will choose to tell you while sitting at the kitchen island devouring a heated up burrito. Burritos bring everyone together.
Today's burrito is a delicious change – taco style. I use my homemade taco seasoning blend in this recipe (see the notes below) but I'm guessing storebought would work just fine, too.
I also use brown rice because I'm addicted to making it in the InstantPot (1 cup rice + 1 1/4 cups water or broth + pinch of salt + 22 minutes high pressure + natural release = brown rice perfection), but again, you could play around with a different type of rice (and cooking method).
We smother these healthy and hearty burritos with all the taco toppings our little hearts desire, which differs by family member. I've learned that what one chooses to put atop their burrito tells a lot about them. Brian and the kids looooove (another word for endure) my therapeutic dinner evaluations.
And if you just can't handle the making of large quantities of burritos, never fear, these taco burritos make a delicious and simple weeknight dinner, and no one will care if you don't 16X the recipe. Banish the guilt and eat a burrito instead.
Taco toppings (as listed in the recipe)
Seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables
Mexican Corn and Tomato Salad
One Year Ago: Skillet Taco Pasta Shells {30-Minute Meal}
Two Years Ago: Overnight Raised Waffles
Three Years Ago: Soft Chocolate Sugar Cookies
I took the spice makeup from my favorite homemade taco seasoning, so if you have some of that on hand, omit the salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, paprika and cumin and instead use that (or you could try subbing in packaged taco seasoning although I haven't tried it).
This recipe calls for already cooked brown rice. My favorite (favorite!) way to cook brown rice is in the pressure cooker. In the InstantPot (or other electric pressure cooker), combine 1 cup brown rice with 1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth and a pinch of salt (you can sub water but the broth gives it great flavor). Cook at high pressure for 22 minutes and let the pressure naturally release. For stovetop pressure cookers, do the same but cook for 20 minutes.
This recipe makes large burritos but you could definitely use smaller tortillas and get more out of the batch. The assembled burritos can be frozen (I like to wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and then pack them in a gallon-size ziploc bag) and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- 1 pound ground turkey (can substitute ground beef)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
- 15-ounce can black or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups cooked brown rice (see note above)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Chopped cilantro to taste
- Shredded cheddar and/or Monterey Jack cheese (about 2 cups)
- 8 burrito-sized (10-inch) flour tortillas, white or whole wheat
- Taco toppings like tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, olives, lettuce, avocados
- In a large, 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook the ground turkey, onion, salt and pepper over medium heat, breaking the meat into small pieces, until the meat is fully cooked. Drain any excess grease, if needed.
- Add the chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, paprika and cumin and stir well to combine. Stir in the tomato sauce, chicken broth and beans. Simmer for 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in the rice, lime juice and cilantro until the mixture is evenly combined. Cook until the rice and other ingredients are hot and bubbling, 2-3 minutes.
- Fill each tortilla evenly with the hot meat and rice filling. Top with cheese and roll the tortilla up burrito style, tucking in the ends.
- Serve immediately (or keep warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve) smothered with any and all taco toppings your heart desires.
