Art and Design in the Modern Age provides an intriguing overview of The Wolfsonian's exceptional holdings and showcases the museum's collection, which spans the period 1885 to 1945. The nearly 300 works on display provide insight into the ways design has influenced and adapted to the modern world. The installation explores the many focal points of The Wolfsonian's collection, including design-reform movements, architecture, urbanism, industrial design, transportation, world's fairs, advertising, political propaganda, and labor iconography.
Inaugurated in November 1996, this ongoing exhibition is periodically updated.
The New Galleries for 19th- and Early 20th-Century European Paintings and Sculpture are reopening with renovated rooms and 8,000 square feet of additional gallery space—the Henry J. Heinz II Galleries—to showcase works from 1800 through the early twentieth century. The renovated galleries feature all of the Museum's most loved nineteenth-century paintings, which have been on permanent display in the past, as well as works by Bonnard, Vuillard, Soutine, Matisse, Picasso, and other early modern artists. Among the many additions are a full-room assembly of "The Wisteria Dining Room," a French art nouveau interior designed by Lucien Levy Dhurmer shortly before World War I that is the only complete example of its kind in the United States; Henry Lerolle's enormous The Organ Rehearsal (a church interior of 1885); a group of newly accessioned nineteenth-century landscape oil sketches; and a selection of rarely exhibited paintings by an international group of artists.
Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933) began his work in glass with the same tools and ingredients that had been used by artisans for thousands of years before him. Tiffany took the science of glassmaking, however, and elevated it to an art form of new brilliance and beauty. Under his watch, teams of talented designers and craftspeople translated Tiffany's all-encompassing vision into some of the most memorable glass creations of our time. Tiffany's studio system was not a simple enterprise; he needed specialized employees—a hierarchy of artists and artisans—to accomplish his goals. This exhibition, updated and reinstalled on September 4, 2012, addresses the processes that Tiffany's many companies used to produce everything from glass mosaics and molded buttons to leaded-glass lamps and windows.

World War I spelled a fundamental break in Horta's life. He went to London in 1915 to attend a congress on the future reconstruction of Belgium. A journalist had revealed his presence, however, and it was impossible for him to return to Belgium. He decided to go to the United States. Upon arriving in New York, he was astonished by the skyscrapers. Symptomatically, he shaved off his beard the very next day, and would never sport one again, as if he had turned a page. For four years, he led the life of an itinerant lecturer in the United States: while Julia, his second wife, pleaded the cause of wounded Belgium, Horta spoke of the treasures of old art. This long stay would bewilder his conceptions. The discovery of American architecture completed his detachment from his first period. As he explained in his Memoirs: "My mind was loosened up. What I would have once opposed as being incompatible with the architect's profession, I have understood since and, from a certain angle, see it even as a desirable example." Horta accepted the principle of cooperation between architects and that of standardisation, convinced of the need to move towards an 'intelligent uniformity'. He felt that the cost of labour would become increasingly heavier, and that architectural forms had to take due account of that development.from Wednesday to Sunday from 12 noon to 6 pm (last admission at 5.30 pm).
Le pavillon Horta-Lambeaux situé dans le parc du Cinquantenaire à Bruxelles rouvrira ses portes au public le 25 mars prochain. Le monument abrite le célèbre relief en marbre blanc des "Passions humaines" que l'on doit au sculpteur Jef Lambeaux. L'édifice de style néo-classique date de 1889 et a été dessiné par le jeune Victor Horta. A l'intérieur se trouve le fameux relief des "Passions humaines" du sculpteur Jef Lambeaux, qui a bénéficié d'une restauration complète en 2015. Le pavillon sera accessible du 25 mars au 29 octobre 2017, chaque mercredi de 14h00 à 16h00 ainsi que les samedis et dimanches de 14h00 à 16h45. Le Brussels Art Nouveau & Art Deco Festival (BANAD) organisera des visites guidées en français, néerlandais et anglais le week-end de la réouverture.

Breathing fresh life into a jewel of art nouveau: a permanent exhibition documenting Otto Wagner is being presented in the Stadtbahn Pavilion on Karlsplatz. He was a trailblazer of modernism and one of Vienna's most influential architects: Otto Wagner. Yet there has never been a permanent exhibition documenting the life and work of this versatile architect. This gap is now filled by the Otto Wagner Pavilion, part of the Wien Museum and one of the most photographed tourist attractions in Vienna. This trade mark of Art Nouveau on Karlsplatz has been redesigned inside by the BWM architects' office and, from 26 August, will provide the authentic background for a close-packed Otto Wagner presentation. It documents the genesis of Wagner's most famous designs, including the Church in Steinhof, the K.K. Postsparkassenamt (Post Office Savings Bank), as well as the revolutionary Stadtbahn project (light urban railway) and the modern residential buildings. It will also reveal another perspective: Otto Wagner as a radical theorist and polemicist against traditionalism and the cliché of the "idyll".Besides numerous documents, the show includes two models and is not only a fascinating homage to the architect - it also invites the visitor to set off through the city of Vienna and explore his trail. The curators of the Otto Wagner Documentation are Renata Kassal-Mikula and Isabelle Exinger; Erwin Bauer is the graphic designer. Otto Wagner - Architect & Visionary Otto Wagner (1841-1918), architect, "artist of building", urban planning theorist and academy professor, was one of the great pioneers of the Viennese modern movement. He left the "Gründerzeit" (the period of industrial and cultural expansion in the late nineteenth century) and its mask-like historicism behind him to propagate a new form of architecture, more in keeping with the life and times of modern people. Wagner's designs combined technical and constructional functionality with high aesthetic criteria. Despite his many adversaries and disappointments, Otto Wagner was one of Vienna's most successful architects. His Post Office Savings Bank and the Church in Steinhof are key buildings of European architecture around 1900. As the general planner of the Vienna Stadtbahn (the light urban railway), he designed a Gesamtkunstwerk of constructional technology, a synthesis of the arts that added new accents to the cityscape. Wagner was also an incisive and polemic author. Although advanced in age, in his study "The Expanding City" he continued to develop radical ideas for a future mega-city, regulated and laid out according to practical requirements. The Otto Wagner Pavilion on Karlsplatz The Art Nouveau pavilion was erected in 1898 in the course of Stadtbahn construction. Otto Wagner planned two portal buildings of identical design. Today, the Wien Museum uses the west pavilion, where the trains once left for Hütteldorf. Wagner's design was revolutionary. The many decorative details make the station into a prime example of Viennese art nouveau. Metal and wood were painted apple-green, the signal colour of the Stadtbahn. Gold, and finest white marble were added on the exterior. The planning for the underground rail junction of Karlsplatz in the late sixties threatened the pavilion with demolition. Protests followed; the station building was dismantled and re-erected in 1977, but elevated 1.5 m above its old level on the square. Now at last the west pavilion is paying Otto Wagner the homage due to him - with the new Otto Wagner Documentation exhibition.
From October 8, 2016, to September 2017, Museum of Glass visitors will have the opportunity to explore Art Deco works in glass from the collection of artist David Huchthausen. Art Deco Glass from the Huchthausen Collection will include early 20th century glass by iconic Art Deco studios such as René Lalique, Daum Frères, Pierre d'Avesn, Charles Schneider, Muller Frères, Marius-Ernest Sabino, Steuben Glass Works, and many others. "We are honored to exhibit a selection of David Huchthausen's fascinating Art Deco collection," shares Museum of Glass Artistic Director, Susan Warner. "This is a rare opportunity for the Museum to share with visitors the on- going historic narrative that connects the Art Deco period of glassmaking to the contemporary Studio Glass movement." Huchthausen's interest in collecting began in his youth with items such as stamps, coins, and baseball cards. His studies and subsequent career as an artist later shaped his fascination with the Art Deco period, resulting in his growing glass collection. "I was studying architecture in college and was particularly interested in the effects of light transmission on the interior spaces of structures," notes Huchthausen. "It provided a natural expansion of my interests into the world of antique glass." Characterized by smooth lines, geometric shapes, and bright colors, the Art Deco glass movement began, in part, as a reaction against the elaborate and ornate style of Art Nouveau in the late 19th century. Economic austerity generated by World War I launched Art Deco into popularity, with artists, designers, and architects throughout the world adopting the style. Although Art Deco fell out of fashion following World War II, the style regained its popularity in the 1970s. Huchthausen began actively collecting pieces from the Art Deco period in the early 1970s, starting with powder boxes. In 1973, Huchthausen acquired his first major work of art, a piece from the Le Verre Francais line designed by Charles Schneider, leading to the purchase of 20 more significant Art Deco works in glass over the next four years. Huchthausen's collection continued to grow during the 1980's and accelerated following his move to Seattle in 1989. "After collecting for so many decades, it gives me great pleasure to share a significant part of my collection with the public. I sincerely hope it provides a better understanding and perspective into one of the most spectacular eras of international design," says Huchthausen. Art Deco Glass from the Huchthausen Collection will include over 200 pieces from his personal collection, which is now composed of over 300 works of Art Deco glass, much of it by European designers. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with essays by esteemed German scholar Helmut Ricke and independent curator William Warmus.
Karl Ove Knausgård's aim with the exhibition is to emphasise key sides of Munch's artistry without being bound by biography or chronology: "I want to exhibit unknown pictures on the premise that I believe it is possible for us to experience Munch as if viewing him for the first time as that he was: a painter who never found inner calm, and who never became stale." The exhibition will include more than 100 paintings and 30 graphic works, many of which are being brought out of storage for the first time. Knausgård's objective is to foster moods and tones that will be picked up by visitors as they move between the halls. The exhibition begins in the outer world in a room filled with light and sun with motifs of people in parks and gardens. In the next section, the people gradually disappear from the motifs. Knausgård explains: "The empty landscapes left behind are ambivalent spaces – the loneliness within the deserted landscapes meets the force and wildness of nature. For Munch, the forest was not only a place where something ended, but it was also a place where something began."

Planning permission for plant that will incinerate 275,000 tonnes of rubbish each year has formally been granted.
Final financial details for an energy recovery facility (ERF) in Beddington have been settled between Sutton Council and developer Viridor meaning, pending any legal challenge, the plans can now go ahead.
The ERF will take rubbish from the South London Waste Partnership - made up of Sutton, Merton, Kingston and Croydon councils and burn it to create energy and heat for nearby homes.
Campaigners have protested against the scheme amid fears it will cause harmful pollution both from the plant's chimney and traffic to the plant.
But the developers say the plans will provide a raft of benefits including cheaper aper energy and heat and the conversion of the existing landfill site into an 86 hectare park with education centre, wildlife habitat and more.
Planning permission was initially granted last year but Viridor and the council have now reached an agreement on how section 106 payments - which are provided to mitigate against effects of development - are paid.
Councillor Jayne McCoy, chairwoman of Sutton Council's housing, economy and business committee, said: "With our landfill in Beddington at saturation point, it is clear that the ERF offers Sutton and our partner boroughs the opportunity to dispose of waste in a cleaner way by reducing CO2 emissions and generating green energy for homes and businesses in the process.
"We have been careful to make sure that we get the right deal for our residents. That is why we have spent nine months securing £2.3m for Beddington which will help us to improve the area alongside residents.
"By turning a landfill eyesore into a wildlife habitat, part of which can be accessed by the public, we are leading the way when it comes to promoting sustainable living. This ERF means we can reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, manage our waste locally and unlock millions of pounds of investment for the area."
Colin Hall, chairman of the South London Waste Partnership Board, added: "We have to find an alternative to landfill and the Energy Recovery Facility will provide a safe, cleaner and more sustainable way of disposing of our waste. Not only can we reduce CO2 emissions, but we can create green energy sufficient to power the equivalent of tens of thousands of homes.
"What's more the majority of the landfill site will be turned into a new country park with wildlife warden so that over 10 years the area will become a haven for nature, with sections opened to the public.
"Altogether, this new approach is not only safe and greener, but will save the four council's an estimated £200m over 25 years which can be better spent on helping people that need our support at a time when council budgets are being cut."

Having a family member with
autism presents many challenges. Support and training
for parents and siblings are important components of treatment. Training family
members about autism and how to effectively manage the symptoms can reduce family stress and improve the functioning of the child with
autism.footnote 1 Some families will need more outside
assistance than others, depending on their internal functioning, established
support systems, and financial situation.
It is important for parents to actively seek assistance from whatever
sources are available. Talk to your health professional and investigate what
help is available locally. Family, friends, public agencies, and national or
community organizations are all potential resources.
Whatever the source of support, the following measures are helpful
for all families who have a member with autism.

Forget about one ring to rule them all, what about one drink to rule them all? That's right Tolkien-heads, the Green Dragon Inn is now a real live bar. This fantasy-laced watering hole was originally built as a set for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy and the new Hobbit installment. The set makers did such a good job on it that, like a drunk Pinocchio, it has now officially transformed into a real pub.
The menu includes drinks like Girdle Fine Ale, Sackville Cider, Oak Barton Ale and Southfathing Ginger Ale. It will also feature a full menu of tasty Middle Earth goodies in the near future. We had better not tell Denny's about this development.

GRAPEVINE, Texas - A Florida prisoner who escaped earlier this week after stabbing a detective with his eyeglasses was shot and killed by law enforcement officers following a foot chase near Dallas, authorities said Saturday.
Alberto Morales was shot shortly before midnight by police who had received information from a resident of the area near Lake Grapevine in North Texas, the Southlake Department of Public Safety posted on its Facebook page. Authorities didn't immediately release any other details about what led to Morales' shooting.
The 42-year-old Morales escaped Monday at a Walmart store parking lot in Grapevine, a community near the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Police said he used a sharp piece from his eyeglasses to stab a Miami-Dade detective who was transferring him by car to Nevada, where Morales was to serve a sentence of 30 years to life after being convicted of a sexual assault.
Det. Jaime Pardinas was expected to recover after being treated at a Dallas hospital for deep stab wounds to the neck, shoulder and back and a collapsed lung. It wasn't clear when he would be released.
Pardinas was accompanied by Miami-Dade Detective David Carrero during the transfer. They flew to Houston with Morales and then decided to drive the rest of the way after he became disruptive on the flight. They had stopped near the store while waiting for a third officer who was flying to the Dallas area to join them. Department policy requires three officers to be present for ground transfers of prisoners.
On a recording of a 911 call of the incident released Wednesday, Pardinas can be heard breathing heavily as he tells the operator that he's been stabbed. He described Morales' height, weight and appearance and then added, "He's a schizophrenic."
The escape set off a massive five-day manhunt in North Texas.

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Bumblebee forums → Gardening → Thread
For the launch of Bee kind, we wanted an initial menu of 150 plant species. Too few and it is a meaningless exercise of course. But too many would be daunting for new gardeners. So, we arrived at 150. Of course, there are lots of Bee kind flowers which did not make the grade.
BUT - we recognise the potential frustration of having Bee kind flowers that do not add to your score! For example, I have wall germander, which isn't on the list…
Here is your chance to argue your case. Please use this forum thread to list things that you would really like to see added. Be selective, because we won't be able to add them all - only the best and most Bee kind.
Many thanks,

A person who wants to display the most sincere attitude possible in every incident he encounters must be in a pursuit of earning the most of Allah's good pleasure. This commandment of Allah is reminded to people by the verse, "So compete with each other in doing good. Every one of you will return to Allah..." (Surat al-Maida, 48). In another verse our Lord relates:
Then We made Our chosen servants inherit the Book. But some of them wrong themselves; some are ambivalent; and some outdo each other in good by Allah's permission. That is the great favour. (Surah Fatir, 32)
As is also related in the verse there are some people who are ambivalent although they have faith in Allah as well as those who outdo each other in good. A person of sincere faith outdoes in good. At every moment of his life he makes serious effort to conduct himself in the way that most deserves Allah's good pleasure. He does everything he can in order to be among those servants who are sincere.
The difference between those who are ambivalent in living by the morality of religion and those who outdo each other in doing good can be described thus; a person encounters many incidents throughout his life. He always faces many choices about how to direct the course of his life or what kind of an attitude and morality to assume in the face of incidents. One always makes these choices through his conscience. Among these choices there are always those alternatives that are not compatible with Allah's good pleasure. The attention of a person of faith is very attentive to those options which are not compatible with Allah's good pleasure. Therefore he unconditionally rejects those alternatives and selects the one which is compatible with Allah's good pleasure. However the options do not end at this point. There are still some others—which are all compatible with the morality of the Qur'an—ahead of him. However this situation must not deceive a person. At this point a person should employ his conscience once again and be cautious to make another choice in pursuit of Allah's good pleasure. If a person has his goal of being among those who outdo each other in good, then he readily knows the option that will please Allah most. Consequently among all those alternatives ahead of him, he selects the attitude with which he hopes he will earn the most of Allah's approval, and thus receive the most rewards and cover the longest distance in drawing close to Allah. There is something peculiar to this option; the desires of one's lower-self does not mess with this option and it is purely intended to earn Allah's good pleasure. This meticulousness in employing one's conscience earns one pure sincerity. In the Qur'an Allah mentions about those sincere servants who outdo in good as follows:
They are not all the same. There is a community among the People of the Book who are upright. They recite Allah's Signs throughout the night, and they prostrate. They have iman in Allah and the Last Day, and enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and compete in doing good. They are among the sincere. (Surah Al Imran, 113-114)

SENECAVILLE Village Council tabled a vote Thursday on the purchase of a new snow blade for the 1986 truck.
The new snow blade is an 8-foot by 36-inch blade with complete hydraulics.
The cost of the blade and the installation is $3,000.
"We'll be ready when the snow comes," said Mayor Wayne Robinson.
However, council opposed the purchase of the blade because it said the purchase of a new lawn mower would be a wiser investment.
"That $3,000 should not have been spent on a blade when a mower is needed," said Chris Dodd, who is the village street commissioner and a councilmember.
Council referred to Dodd's judgment in the matter because he would be the one who would use the equipment.
Council decided to wait on the purchase of a snow blade and put their effort into finding an affordable mower.
Council has been awarded a $14,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture toward the purchase of a new mower, but council is unsure as to when that money will be given to the village.
In other business, Fire Chief Jeff Guiler told council the fire department has had only six fire runs and 11 EMS runs since the last council meeting.
Guiler said the village firefighters received their training for first responders.
"We're all good to go for another year at least," he said.
Council decided to purchase a lock box and set of tools for the village garage. The money will come from the access money that was not used to replace the transmission in the village truck.
Council also decided to change the meeting time for the council meetings. Council will meet at 7 p.m. rather than 6:30 p.m. April 10.

Corn futures are trading higher midmorning. Corn futures continue to move higher after the release of the October WASDE estimates. USDA lowered corn production only 21 million bushels to 10.704 billion bushels. The October production estimate approximately 100 million bushels above trade expectations. Corn yields were lowered as well to 122 bushels per acre, slightly below trade expectations. Prices responded positively as world and domestic ending stocks were lowered versus the previous month. December corn is trading 34 ½ cents higher.
Soybean futures are extending gains post WASDE. Soybean futures are sharply higher at this hour despite bearish estimates for 2012 crop production. USDA raised 2012 soybean production 226 million bushels to 2.86 billion. Yields were also raised. The average yield was pegged at 37.8 bushels per acre up 2.5 bushels per acre versus the September estimate. However, prices are supported by tight ending stocks forecasts. As with the corn, soybean futures surged as a means to ration demand/use. November soybeans is trading 37 ¾ cents higher.
Wheat futures are soaring midmorning. Spillover strength from corn and soy complex is boosting wheat futures amid a neutral supply/demand report. Production estimates were relatively unchanged from the previous month, while domestic ending stocks were pegged a little above trade expectations. Foreign production was cut as expected. Total production declined 5.7 million tonnes, with sharp cuts in Australia and Russia. December wheat at CBOT is trading 17 cents higher; KCBT is trading 20 ¾ cents higher; and MGE is trading 14 cents higher.
Live cattle futures are trading higher midmorning. Buying interest has picked up in the cattle complex despite mixed wholesale beef prices. Futures are advancing higher on expectations for steady to higher cash trade this week, although cash movement has yet to develop. Also sharp gains in corn prices are strengthening deferred contracts. October cattle is trading 77 cents higher while December is trading 7 cents higher.
Lean hog futures are trading mixed midmorning. Nearby 2012 contracts are trading defensively between 17 to 70 cents lower. Cash prices are reported as steady and futures are supported by strength in the pork carcass value. The market is currently underpinned by strong demand as October is Pork Month. Deferred contracts have firmed on surging corn and soymeal prices.

Deborah Collins thought it was just a bad accident.
She was heading to her home on Mulligan Road late July 28 after picking up her 14-year-old grandson and his friend when she drove up on it.
A Chevy Tahoe and a pickup truck facing opposite directions were blocking the roadway and a man was laying on the ground.
Collins had no idea it was the scene of a double murder as a Dry Ridge man is accused of fatally shooting his estranged wife and another man before turning the gun on himself.
Q and A with Tom Droege, spokesperson for Bluegrass Pipeline
How much of the proposed pipeline would go through Grant County?
"It's important to understand that it's very preliminary at this point. (We will not have any estimates) until it is finalized. It's still kind of moving."
How much land surveying for the pipeline has been done in Grant County?
The life of Brittany Butler was celebrated and remembered July 26, just days before she would have turned 22 years old.
Brittany died March 4, 2014, of a heroin overdose, leaving behind many friends and family, including her young daughter Paisley.
In her memory, a Get Fit For Britt event was held at Body Works Gym in Dry Ridge to not only bring awareness to the heroin epidemic, but to raise money to fight it.
The Aug. 12 filing deadline has passed and the November ballot is set.
The following candidates filed for non-partisan races:
Williamstown City Council
• Ken Stone
• Tommy J. Judd
• Troy Gutman
• Kim Crupper
• Amanda Howell
• John C. Coleman
• Robert Perry
• Greg Middleton
• Elizabeth Wagoner
Dry Ridge City Council
• Fred Money
• James "Jim" Hendy
• Karen Glore
• Sara Cummins
Becky Tolle Hensley, 48, who lives in Dry Ridge, was diagnosed with small cell cancer on June 1.
Henry Hensley, Becky's husband, along with her siblings, Brenda, Donald and Barbara Tolle and her mother, Thelma Tolle were all devastated by the news.
"She was having pains in her side so he (Henry) took her to the St. Elizabeth Hospital." Brenda said.
Hensley also has a step daughter, Melissa and son-in-law, Josh Collins who live in Texas.
She is a wife, daughter, sister and aunt.
Zeke Howard has a mega watt smile.
He's a 1 year old bundle of joy that crawls and moves quickly despite having been born with skeletal dysplasia, often referred to as dwarfism.
A child with this condition will have abnormal differences in the size and shape of their legs, arms, trunk or skull.
In Zeke's case, his fingers were joined together. At birth, his left foot was attached to his knee and his right leg was formed without the bones to support his foot, which causes his balance to be off.
Mike and Stacy McCormick are hoping a $10,000 reward will be enough to entice the public to come forth with information about a fire that destroyed their home.
The McCormicks were notified by a neighbor around 4 a.m. on July 25 that the mobile home they were setting up at 4740 Cynthiana Street in Williamstown was engulfed in flames.
The couple had been working on the property since January, waiting for the ground to settle before making final improvements on the site one of their sons would be living.
You could say that John Halsey, a man of many talents, who despite being 87 years young, has lots of life left, has a green thumb.
Born on May 6, 1927 in Oakdale, in Breathitt County, Kentucky, Halsey is the father of five children, three step children, 12 grandchildren and "don't ask me how many great grandchildren"--but he will tell you there are three sets of twins in the greats.
Thirty-two contestants represented local scholarship pageants from across the state for the title of Miss Kentucky 2014.

A $470 million dollar effort to further reduce emissions from the Salt River Project's largest single generator of electricity is now complete. On May 1, the last component of the project – selective catalytic reduction technology (SCR) – to lower nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from the Coronado Generating Station in St. Johns became operational.
The project was a result of a 2008 agreement between SRP and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to improve regional air quality by installing equipment and systems to remove additional emissions of NOx and sulfur dioxide (SO2) from CGS.
The new controls not only further reduce SO2 and NOx emissions from the plant, but also address mercury emissions.
"CGS is a critical component of SRP's fleet of generating facilities that provide affordable and reliable electricity to our customers 24 hours a day," said CGS manager Dan Bevier. "Now we will be able to achieve this goal and significantly reduce emissions."
CGS, owned and operated by SRP, uses coal as a fuel to generate electricity from two 400-megawatt units for SRP customers in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Completed in 1980, the plant was equipped with then state-of-the-art emission controls including partial flow scrubbers for SO2 reductions and electrostatic precipitators for particulate matter reduction.
The environmental improvement project included the installation of low NOx burners on each of the two units – one in 2009 and the other in 2011. Additionally, SRP constructed new 100 percent flow SO2 removal systems on each of the units – one in 2011 and one in 2012. The project was completed when the SCR on unit 2 was installed and became operational on May 1.
According to SRP senior project manager Gary Barras, the environmental improvement effort at CGS was one of the largest construction projects in Arizona and involved nearly 3,000 workers and contractors at a time when the state was in the midst of the great recession. Barras said the project team completed each phase of work on-schedule and with an outstanding safety record.
The project also included the construction of two new 400-foot concrete exhaust stacks, two 22,000-square-foot multi-level absorber buildings and required more than 4,000 individual pieces of equipment. In addition, more than 29,000 cubic-yards of concrete, nearly 8,000 tons of ductwork and structural steel and more than a million feet of new conductor were needed. The project team also coordinated a global supply chain of consultants and specialized equipment manufacturers located on four major continents.
In addition to installing enhanced emission controls at CGS and as part of the agreement with EPA, SRP funded $4 million in several supplemental environmental projects including installing 100 to 200-kilowatt solar photovoltaic systems at public schools, upgrading emission controls on school buses and replacing wood-burning stoves with clean-burning wood pellet stoves. All of the supplemental environmental projects are contributing to cleaner air in the communities near CGS and in metropolitan Phoenix.
SRP is the largest provider of electricity to the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, serving more than 985,000 customers.

It was a tough match for the Lions as Shorter came out fighting and took the first set by a 25-19 win. After the second set came as a loss as well, the Lions rebounded with a win in the third to put the score at 2-1 in Shorter's favor. Unfortunately for Saint Leo, Shorter capitalized on their lead and pounded home the fourth set to take home the match.
Juniors Yaidimar Santiago and Lauren Campbell led the effort for the Lions, both defensively and offensively. In addition to a career-high 37 digs by Santiago, junior Molly Alexander collected 12 digs, while Campbell notched 11.
On the offensive side of the game, Campbell collected 19 kills, the most on either team. Senior Jordan Sisson, who missed a large portion of the season due to injury, tallied ten kills on the night and led the team with a .304 attacking percentage. Sophomore middle blocker Jillian Stolzenburg also contributed offensively with seven kills.
Senior setter Jaclyn Mailoto, who ranks 9th in the nation for assists per set, tallied 50 assists on the night.
Despite the final score, the Lions tallied 80 digs and 51 kills on the evening.
The Lions will return to the court tomorrow when they finish up the Sunshine Crossover tournament and battle West Alabama and Alabama-Huntsville. The first match of the day is set for 9 a.m.

(News Tagged 'St. John's')
St. John's of Newfoundland22 May 2013
The most impressive aspect of this charming city is its architecture. St. John's has a distinct style from that of the rest of Canada, and its major buildings are remnants of its history as one of the first British colonial capitals. Starting as a fishing outpost for European fishermen, it consisted mostly of the homes of fishermen, sheds, storage shacks, and wharves constructed out of wood.
From fabulous food to trendy hotels and jaw-dropping scenery, Travel Editor Jim Byers' offers up great things to do in St. John's, Newfoundland.
Chef's Recipe: Jeremy Charles' Moose Ravioli3 Jan 2013
For an east coast edition of Anna & Kristina's Grocery Bag, we visited Newfoundland and tried moose for the first time. Our guest chef on the episode was Jeremy Charles and he shared his restaurant's signature moose ravioli dish with us. Such friendly folks, those Newfoundlanders!
New Year's Eve at Raymonds restaurant in St. John's, N.L., will feature a luxurious 12-course tasting menu of seafood and wild game crafted by celebrated chef Jeremy Charles.
St. John's, the capital of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, is the perfect combination of big-city luxury and small-town charm.
Moose, mountains and mankind. I recently experienced all that and more as my wife and I explored the wonders of Newfoundland. We began our journey with a six-hour ride on the Marine Atlantic, a modern multi-level people/car ferry. It has bright, modern seating areas, restaurants, and cabins with comfortable small beds and clean, well-equipped bathrooms for overnight travel. We embarked at North Sydney, and arrived at Port aux Basques on Newfoundland's southwest tip.
ST. JOHN'S—These are heady days in this oft-beleaguered town. The oil industry has brought a boom. There are new condo projects downtown and restaurants serving blistered Naples-style pizzas and Japanese fusion cuisine. New shops on Water St. sell the sort of trendy goods you'd find on Queen West or Ossington.
ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND - You'd think icebergs are a regular occurrence in and around St. John's. But apparently not.
ST. JOHN'S NEWFOUNDLAND - One of the great things about St. John's is how easy it is to get out to the country. Often in just a few minutes. Or even seconds.
Three spots in Newfoundland are finalists in a Canada-wide "great places" competition.
There are few views in Canada more evocative than the one from the dining room at Raymonds. Tall windows survey Newfoundland's prosperity, past and present: from St. John's Harbour, picturesquely gritty with its tugboats and toothless smiles, to colourful houses huddling together against the wind, to the Atlantic beyond, where offshore drilling is fuelling Canada's other oil boom.

Setting the stage:
It feels like it has been a while since I wrote a weekly preview. Despite calling it a season on Super Bowl Saturday, I was still posing the "Can the Timberwolves do it?" question here in this column just a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, we have answered that question with erratic play and an inability to consistently beat teams that we should and occasionally pull off a few more victories to go on a prolonged winning streak.
Throw in the rumors that are floating around Twitter that Rick Adelman will not be returning to the sidelines next year and you have a pretty dull remaining of the season for our Pups. Sorry, I can't sugarcoat this one. If you are looking for a sliver of hope, look no further than the product Gorgui Dieng has been giving the team while in the starting lineup during Nikola Pekovic's recovery. If nothing else, at least it proves that I'm not wrong 100% of the time?
As Warner Wolf used to say, "Let's go to the videotape" … only there is no video here, just a preview for this week's games. I digress …
Game 74: Monday, 3/31, 7pm – Los Angeles Clippers @ Timberpups (TV: FS North)
The Clippers have been pretty hot of late and find themselves as the three seed in the Western Conference. Their stars are performing and Jamal Crawford and JJ Redick have formed a nice combination at the SG position. I still want to see this team win a playoff series before they receive the accolades.
Opponent to watch:
Blake Griffin – After Monday night's game, the next time Wolves' fans see Blake, he may be wearing the Pups' jersey. Wait, who said that?! Griffin is having another solid season, putting up about 24 & 10.
The Wolves play in Brooklyn on Sunday night and come home for this affair. Even if the season wasn't over, I don't think they would have pulled this one off. Final score: Clippers 112, Timberwolves 102
Game 75: Wednesday, 4/2, 7pm – Memphis Grizzles @ Timberpups (TV: FS North)
Memphis has also been playing very solid basketball of late and has leapfrogged Phoenix and Dallas in the Western Conference to join the playoff fray. Wednesday night will be the final game of a five game road trip for the Grizzlies. Their last home game was, ironically, against the Wolves, where they absolutely hammered our guys, 109-92.
Opponent to watch:
Mike Conley – Conley beat up Minnesota's PG's in that meeting, shooting 9-12 from the field for 23 points, while adding 5 rebounds and 6 assists. The Wolves' defense from the PG position has been, who do you say "less than desirable" (in Spanish)?
This could be a make or break game for the Grizzlies when all is said and done with the regular season. They need this game and it really doesn't matter for the Wolves. Final score: Grizzlies 107, Timberwolves 101
Game 76: Friday, 4/4, 6:30pm – Timberpups @ Miami Heat (TV: FS North)
Who made this schedule?! After two tough games at home against Western Conference foes, the Wolves take the show on the road to face the Heat. This game probably won't matter to the Heat unless they make up at least a game and a half on the Pacers beforehand. However, we're talking about the best player on the planet and the two-time defending champs.
Opponent to watch:
LeBron James – He's good. You may want to watch him play. Godspeed Corey Brewer.
This isn't exactly how you draw up closing the season, is it? Final score: Heat 115, Timberwolves 109
Game 77: Saturday, 4/5, 6pm – Timberpups @ Orlando Magic (NO TV)
The one game the Wolves are more than likely to win this week and there is no TV coverage for the locals. The Wolves will finish their rough week by finishing up the journey through Florida. The Wolves beat Orlando very early on this season, 120-115 in OT, and should be able to carry out the season sweep.
Opponent to watch:
Nikola Vucevic – In recent weeks, Vucevic is battling an extreme disorder like the entire Wolves' roster. There are nights when he looks awesome and there are others where you have no idea what to think.
Despite being the tail end of a back-to-back, I can't have the Wolves go 0-4 this week. Final score: Timberwolves 104, Magic 95
We're closing in on the end of the season and it the streak of non-playoff seasons has hit a decade. What do you want to see from the Wolves over the few remaining weeks?
Let's go Wolves!

Label Decoder: Pectinby Toby Amidor in Grocery Shopping, July 1, 2010
You've seen it on hundreds of labels and may have even used it in your own kitchen — learn all the need-to-know facts about this additive.
What Is It?
Pectin is a gelatin-like substance that is naturally found in some fruits. It's often added to jams and jellies to help cooked fruits reach a gel-like consistency. It can also be used to thicken barbecue sauce, cranberry sauce, canned frosting and yogurt. Some homemade jellies may call for high pectin fruit such as quince, concord grapes, currants, raspberries or apples in order to help thicken them. Fruit that is slightly underripe contains more pectin than fruits that have fully ripened.
Commercial pectins can be found on the market in liquid or powdered form. The liquid pectin is made from apples, while the powdered version is made from citrus fruits. Some folks like to use the commercial pectins to speed up the jam and jelly cooking process.
Is It Safe?
The FDA recognizes pectin on their generally recognized as safe (GRAS) list, and numerous scientific studies have found it to be extremely safe to consume.
TELL US: What label terms would you like us to decode next?

Sorry it's been a couple of weeks, but editing, client work, and wedding plans have eaten up my life. This is part two of a small series I'm doing on how we're experimenting with Wordpress as a platform for managing our whole storyworld. In part 1, I talked about data types, or custom post types, as well as the UI for creating those. I went on to discuss some of the fields each post type would have assigned to it, and how they would help the functionality of those fields.
As I said in part 1, this is not a tutorial so much as us sharing our process in real time. So here I'm going to show you a mistake.
Building the Relationships in our Data
We're going to start here with Data Relationships. There are any number of ways to do this, but in keeping with our goals of leveraging as much existing code as possible, we searched for WordPress plugins we might use. And we came up with Related by Matthias Siegel. This plugin allows you to manually relate posts to the current post you are editing.
When I got Matthias' plugin, it only had the ability to relate posts to other posts. Obviously, since we are creating all kinds of other content types, this wouldn't be enough. So I altered the plugin to give it the ability to relate a post of any content type to a post of any other content type. The whole point of this is that if we now have a content type called "Short Story," and another called "Short Film," and both of those have the same character, we can now create a "Character" content type, and relate it to both the short story and the short film. This way, we can later query our data and report by character, say, and see all of the Transmedia elements a character shows up in.
So now, with my altered version of Matthias' plugin installed, every post you edit of every content type has this new section:
That's kind of cool. Nice. Simple. Explicit relationships.
Okay, so once I got Matthias' related plugin installed and altered, I made some relationships and was happy. Then I realized something bad. This plugin does not make bi-directional relationships. Meaning, when you relate a post on one edit screen, if you go to the related post's edit screen, the first post is not related there! Wha??????? But nope, I took a peek under the hood and that is in fact how the data model is set up. Bummer. This renders this plugin useless for my needs. I was just about to set out altering it further, when I discovered another related posts plugin. This one was by someone named "Microkid."
Not only does Microkid's plugin include bi-directional relationships, but it also handles custom post types out of the box, and has a more attractive interface to boot. When you install it, each post edit page adds this:
As you can see, the interface is very nice. It breaks up the custom content types and shows you how many of each is related to this post you're working on now. There is a fancy little AJAX search box that allows you to look up posts by name, so it keeps things clean and organized. Nice little plugin. And once again, saves us the work of having to write it ourselves. And the lesson here is that I should have looked a little harder before I focused on the first one.
One thing to note about this plugin is that it has an options panel. And when you add new custom post types, you have to go to that panel and tell it you want to include them in the relatable types.
This options page also gives you the option of showing related posts automatically on your blog, or turning that off and placing them where you want with a widget. Since we're not really using this for its intended purpose anyway, we turned it off.
Now that we have relationships among our data, what do we do with them? Good question. Well here's one example besides THE LOST CHILDREN, where this might come in handy.
Neal Stephenson's new venture is called "The Mongoliad." This is a "digital novel." You sign up for a subscription and get new installments every week. But it will also include other media, as well as user submitted content. They have a wikipedia type thing where users can go contribute to the world. And they say if you write something great, it might even make it into Canon. I like this idea, It's inherently Transmedia. I think it actually has a decent business model about it too.
I don't know what their back-end is, but it looks like something common. The "'pedia" has "tags" just like Wordpress, or typepad, etc. But the system I am developing here would pretty perfectly serve their needs. If you go to the "stories" section, you will see they have things called "Content" and "Illustration." Those are content types. Relationships can be made and so you can sort of generate your own "wikipedia," or world dictionary, automatically.
And I like this idea. Whether you're in a world created by SABI, or one created for Hotwheels, I like the idea of spending hours thumbing through a world's dictionary, then dipping into a story linked off of a certain character bio, sinking into that story for a while, then coming back up to the "dictionary," thumbing through some more. Or getting into one story, then finding a link to another interesting character and following that. Like, imagine going through the "Fringe" world, then deciding to go off and watch or read some stories about Walter's past at Harvard. I kind of dig this. And again…is there a business model there? Just selling subscriptions to the world of the story? Low cost. Levels of access and access from anywhere, because you were smart enough to document your world with an online tool like Wordpress? Again, as indie folks looking for the edge, I think this stuff is worth really thinking about.
Though, as the Romans would say: "nihil sub sole novum." In Andrea's post on interactivity, I remembered a "novel" from the 80s, written like a dictionary. And beautiful, moving, and subtle.
What I also like about this "dictionary" road, is that it doesn't have to reduce the quality of any one piece. If a video game is not right for your world, then for God's sake, don't make a video game. But I see nothing wrong with cross-linking between, say HEART OF NOW, and a short film about some other part of Amber's life made by another SABI director. And I think that can be done without violating the integrity of that world.
Continued in Part 3.

Home Run
Playing the economics of sports in the West Valley
It's not so much a case of "if you build it, they will come" that is turning the West Valley into a sports mecca. Rather, it's the other way around. People have come to the West Valley in droves, setting the stage for an economic explosion and a sports megalopolis. The Arizona Cardinals stadium opens this month, the NHL Phoenix Coyotes play in adjacent Glendale Arena, five Major League Baseball teams conduct spring training at West Valley sites with two cities avidly seeking other teams to call their own and Phoenix International Raceway stages two major NASCAR races a year.
Economist Elliott Pollack says population growth came to the West Valley first. Contrary to the view of some, Pollack says, "The Phoenix area grows like a balloon in a very orderly manner, at its periphery. Growth got to the west side and the area was looking for an image."
He calls Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs "a very smart lady," who took advantage of the situation—a population explosion and an abundance of available land. The growth is happening not only in Glendale but in Peoria, Surprise, Goodyear, Avondale and Buckeye as well.
Cardinals Stadium and Glendale Arena essentially created a focal point for that area. "It gave the media something to focus on," Pollack says. "The area would have grown anyway, but now with a much better image than before."
Julie Frisoni, marketing and communication director for the city of Glendale, agrees. "Growth is driving the West Valley expansion," she says. "Much of the East Valley is built up and developed. In the next 15 to 20 years, 40 percent of all growth will be west of the 101 (Agua Fria Freeway)."
People moving to the West Valley expect good housing, quality jobs, entertainment and sporting options, restaurants and shopping opportunities, Frisoni says. "Glendale always has been a bedroom community, a place where people lived and went somewhere else to work and for entertainment. Growth demands the amenities you're seeing spring up."
With growth comes soaring land prices. When the deal for the Glendale Arena was struck in 2001, agricultural land there was selling for $2 a square foot. Today, commercial land at the Westgate City Center in Glendale carries a price tag of as much as $25 a square foot. In seven to 10 years, Westgate will have 6 million square feet of retail and restaurants.
Jack Lunsford, president and CEO of WESTMARC, a West Valley economic development organization, says the sports explosion is having a huge dual impact—direct and indirect—on the West Valley economy. The direct impact is fairly easy to calculate. For example, Lunsford says, each of the two NASCAR races are worth $200 million to $250 million to the local economy, and the 2008 NFL Super Bowl, $250 million to $300 million. Add to the mix the Fiesta Bowl and the NCAA Bowl Championship games, plus the hundreds of events, concerts and meetings to be held in the Arizona Cardinals stadium and Glendale Arena and the economic impact is huge, he says.
Spring training is yet another economic engine. The Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers train in Surprise, the Milwaukee Brewers are in the Maryvale area of Phoenix and the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners share a stadium in Peoria. Glendale and Goodyear are on the hunt for Major League teams and appear serious about building their own stadiums. "In two years we could end up with eight teams in the West Valley," Lunsford says.
Frisoni says Glendale has entered into an exclusive agreement with teams to discuss a potential spring training site. She won't say how many or which teams the city is targeting or where a stadium site would be. "We are continuing to move forward," Frisoni says. "We expect a resolution very soon."
Meanwhile, the Goodyear City Council in March approved a site for a new spring training complex and gave the City Manager's Office authority to seek Major League teams. Goodyear Mayor Jim Cavanaugh says the complex would be located on the Woods' Family property east of Estrella Parkway near Yuma Road. The ballpark complex would include commercial, office, hospitality and residential uses.
Lunsford notes the indirect impact of the West Valley's sports explosion is the retail and service development that those kinds of activities spawn.
Economist Pollack sees a change overtaking the West Valley, particularly in the Westgate City Center complex. "There was a lot of economic development going on during construction of the stadium and arena, bringing in retail and more revenues," he says. "Hopefully the concept will be that people will go there, eat, shop, go to a game or a concert and then go home. Now, they go to a Coyotes game, get out of their car, see the game, get back in their car, and go home. There are not a lot of places to eat on the west side, and that will change.
"It's not that the arenas created the growth, they created a focal point for growth. It's going to be a sports and retail mecca that people from other parts of the Valley will go to see games and concerts."

In Play: Rifeness is usually a blessing: "The country markets are rife with freshly picked flowers and vegetables in the summer." But then rifeness can be a blessing or a curse: "My e-mail is so rife with spam I can barely get to the messages I want to read."
Word History: This word, as mentioned above, seems to be an English original. The old Germanic languages are rife with relatives, but none seem to have survived: Middle Dutch rijf, Old Icelandic rifr, Old Swedish river, and Old Norse rifr—all meaning something like "abundant". It does not seem to be related to ripe (German reif) and reap, even though the semantics of all these words touch: ripened fruit is usually reaped at the height of its abundance. Clear evidence, however, is lacking. (I hope our thoughts today are rife with words of gratitude to Chris Stewart for suggesting a word from his home in South Africa.)

Did you know?
The scientific name for the human species is Homo sapiens. Modern humans are the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens. The Latin name of the species translates to 'wise man'.
The world-class Origins Centre, located at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, explores the evolution of human life and our journey towards modern man.
Under the motto 'We are who we are because of who we were', the Origins Centre uses cutting-edge technology combined with works by South Africa's foremost artists to depict the evolution of humans alongside the development of their creative abilities.
Conceptualised by a team of academics and designers from Wits University, the museum aims to provide visitors with a unique experience of Africa's rich, complex heritage.
This first phase of the permanent exhibition concentrates on the hunter-gatherer San Bushmen, whose DNA is linked to the earliest Homo sapiens.
The Centre's extensive collection of rock art affords visitors the opportunity to view the earliest images made by humans, found in South Africa. There are exhibits of their early technology together with interactive displays describing the beginnings of culture through rock art, spirituality and dance.
The second phase of the permanent exhibition is a vast array of palaeoanthropological, archaeological and genetic materials charting the evolution of humankind. These include ancient tools, artefacts of spiritual significance to early humans and fossilised remains of some of man's early ancestors.
The average museum experience takes between 90 minutes and two hours, but for the enthusiast, there is an unsurpassed wealth of additional multi-media material detailing Africa's past.

Ratty Vs. V-Dub, 4/25
Ratty: Turkey and Wild Rice Soup, Chicken Cutlet Parmesan, Vegetarian Sandwich Bar, Swiss Fudge Cookies
V-Dub: Minestrone Soup, Steak and Pepper Fajitas, Black Bean and Spinach Tacos, Refried Beans, Swiss Fudge Cookies
Advantage: V-Dub. Why would we need a vegetarian sandwich bar when sandwiches are customizable anyway?
Ratty: Carrot Ginger Soup with Agave, Lemon Sesame Chicken, Spinach with Toasted Sesame Seeds, Magic Bar
V-Dub: Bean Chili, Mac And Cheese Bar, Corn Pudding, Braised Rainbow Swiss Chard, Florida Key Lime Pie
Advantage: V-Dub. Cheesy as it may sound, there's really no food quite as comforting as mac and cheese.

XENIA, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio college student has been arrested after allegedly telling campus employees he wouldn't be afraid to carry out a mass shooting along the lines of the 2007 Virginia Tech killings.
A jury trial has been scheduled next month for 27-year-old Charles McCornell, a Central State University student charged with inducing panic and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors.
The Dayton Daily News reported Thursday (http://bit.ly/zDDu3k ) that McCornell remained in Greene County Jail on $10,000 bond following his arraignment Wednesday.
The paper quotes an incident report from the university's Department of Public Safety that says McCornell had become frustrated while trying to schedule a meeting with professors to discuss a disputed grade.
The report says McCornell threatened to "pull a Virginia Tech."
McCornell's attorney did not immediately return a call Thursday.

SAINT LEO, Fla. - Lions' Baseball squared off against St. Petersburg College this past weekend to mark the beginning of their fall season and the first fall baseball game with outside competition at Saint Leo in over 10 years. The 10-inning game, which took place on Friday, October 7th, featured a 10-2 win as the Lions started their year on a high note. What made for an interesting twist, however, was the opposing SPC Titans, whose roster features freshman Trey McNickle, son of Saint Leo Head Baseball Coach, Russ McNickle. Only nineteen, Trey began his pitching career during his senior year at Land O' Lakes High School when his coach converted him from a catcher to a side-armed pitcher. Surprisingly, before Friday, Trey had never played on a team that his father coached, nor had he played against him. "I purposely stayed away," said Russ McNickle, "I wanted him to choose to play; not for him to feel like he had to."
As the son of a highly qualified baseball coach, Trey has grown up learning about America's favorite pastime his whole life, even occasionally participating in Saint Leo inter-squad baseball games. However, this was both an advantage and a disadvantage for him during Friday's game, where he threw one inning against five Saint Leo batters. After getting two quick outs, Trey hit one batter and allowed one single before ending a scoreless bottom half of the inning for the Lions. "I thought I did well for just starting out pitching," said Trey of his performance on the mound, "plus we have 23 freshmen and only four sophomores, so we're still getting better as a team."
Before the game, Russ described his mood as "nervously excited," saying "I'm nervous for [Trey] because I want him to be successful, but at the same time I want my guys to win." When asked if he thought the day would ever come to play against his own son, Russ said, "Never, but I'm excited because he's on a team that's very well-coached; this is a good opportunity for him to grow and develop."
McNickle and the Lions will continue their fall campaign on Wednesday, October 19, when they host Hillsborough Community College at 6:00 p.m.
Saint Leo Softball Junior Katie Gwinn contributed to this story.
