Comments about 'Cache Valley charter school tops Utah rankings'
- Oldest first

Wow... what impressive rankings Utah! Eleven high schools in the top 2,000 (versus 457 in the top 2,000 for lowly California). And with your homogenous population that supposedly values education. Perhaps it's time to get your house in order.

What is the percentage of the students at InTech Collegiate High Charter School that are sons and daughters of professors or employees at Utah State University? When we lived in Mississippi and Illinois, higher end people went to private schools, which can be good for their children, maybe. Public schools need a balance of students from a variety of sources. What happens with parochial, charter or private schools is that the higher end students are gone from the public school system. In time or over time, teachers and students don't have the same caliber of the overall student field. The quality of both goes down because the higher end teachers go to the place where more money is or the standards are potentially lower for meeting entry level teachers. People complain about tenure in districts and states. However, business manager type qualifications don't necessarily make a principal in a field of education. Districts have that expertise and provide business plans with people in those areas with qualifications to meet the plan. Our state legislature and governor try to defeat the educational system with bills every session that thwart educational excellence for the public schools and public administration.

@JWB: Thx for your question. Only about 8% of InTech Collegiate seniors are
professors' children. As to our balance of students: 34% of our students
come from low-income backgrounds, 25% from minority backgrounds, 12% qualify for
Special Education. Analysis shows this to be statistically similar to Cache
Valley area schools. So in short: ICHS does not cream.
ICHS does not contract with a charter management company (although contracting with one does not make a charter school private). I personally however hold advanced degrees in both Business Management and Education. ICHS is a public school and I am a public administrator. So in short: ICHS is public.
ICHS, along with the other early college high schools in the state, exist not to thwart educational excellence, but in fact, our mission is to "Expand the base of talent entering college and STEM careers by providing 1) outreach to groups traditionally under-represented in college and STEM, 2)STEM focused programs, 3) Early College opportunities". So in short: ICHS aims for, and in many regards, is achieving excellence as a public school.

One hour of physical activity per day could offset health risk of 8 hours of sitting
July 28, 2016 07:10 AM - The Lancet via EurekAlert!
A new study of over 1 million people finds that doing at least one hour of physical activity per day, such as brisk walking or cycling for pleasure, may eliminate the increased risk of death associated with sitting for 8h a day.
Physical inactivity is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers and is associated with more than 5 million deaths per year and, as the first global economic analysis of physical inactivity shows, costs the world economy over US$67.5 billion per year in health care costs and lost productivity.

Cheesy Music Clubs in London
Discover the best cheese night clubs in London. When you are looking for a fun night out there is nothing better than hitting the dance floors at the best cheesy music clubs in London and dance the night away to pop music and classics. Forget pretentious electro or lame guitars! Get your groove and glamour on to commercial music, pop, rock and dance hits from past and present decades as a good cheese tune never dies. The best clubs are all on our list of the very best of Cheesy Music Clubs in London.
Select a venue on the map
After having a complete overhaul, Sway has a new lease of life and a stylish decor to match. But one thing remains, and that is their big love for all the cheesy music in London. With 3 bars and a nightclub all under one roof, experience this fun bar of drinking and dancing antics.
Basically one big cheesy disco. A Clapham stalwart that needs no introduction, Inferno's is legendary and one for your cheesy London clubs hit list. You can even hire your own Karaoke room overlooking the dancefloor and sing your heart out to the crowd below - oh the wonders of this place.
Unfortunately, not all of your friends might appreciate cheesy pop and rock music like we do. But they should be your friends no longer because Piccadilly Institute is the place to be. Leave the bores in the bar or in any of the other six rooms at this massive and partly cheesy club in London.
A Tiki-inspired London bar in the heart of the City, Kanaloa is a drinking and dancing haven and plays a great mix of cheesy tunes in it's club room. Open late, this is a real fun time bar with it's cool interior and tropical decor; playing a host of commerical pop classics Kanaloa has given itself the reputation of being one of the best clubs to listen to cheesy music in London.
Embrace your inner tiger and hit the dance floor of this party hub right in the heart of London. Notorious and known for being one of London's best clubbing destinations, Tiger Tiger is like a way of life. Bouncing every night of the week, you can be rest assured all forms of cheese are represented here.
This cheesy London club has the best music policy: "If you can't sing it, we won't play it". That's how Bar Rumba have made their reputation for being one of the most fun nights out in the city. Get a piece of the dance floor action, the loud music and the cheap drinks right here.
If a club were to be a big block of brie, it would be Strawberry Moons. A central London favourite for its roster of cheesy nights out in London, this mega club is like a blast from the past where you can boogie on a multi-coloured dance floor whilst bopping to the biggest retro and cheesy tunes of all time.
Definitely hot on the cheesy London club vibes, but only when it comes to the music here, not the setting. On the contrary, you don't have to worry about how you look venturing into this Putney den as it's a Moroccan themed party bar notorious for a late night out with DJs and dancing that keeps going until 4am.
Party kings Adventure Bar are not shy of pumping out the cheese with a tongue firmly in cheek. Delicious cocktails, uber-friendly bartenders and party anthems make this a fun night out in Clapham where the music policy is quite simply as mature as cheddar can be.
In the heart of Soho, Gem is a happily affordable and easy-going bar and club that honours the cheesy tunes of past and present! Glitter balls, happy hours and a buzzing atmosphere all combine at this central London club to make one fun night out.
The basement of this London cheesy music club has a flashing LED dance floor. Happy hours and cheesy music with classic RnB, pop and dance music play to get people on the floor (and it always works). Hits from the 70s and 80s bring disco fever to Mayfair for a much-loved cheesy club night of floor-fillers.

Happy but disappointed I have been a long standing member. I really enjoy the little bit of extra payouts. ONLY issue I have is the removal of PayPal as an option for payout. I think that of they bring the paypal option back, a lot more users would be happy again. I can't complain too much though cause they have amazon and Walmart (which I can use to buy prepaid Mastercard with)
OMG!!! You guys have knocked it out of the park!!! I've been a participant for years but--what you guys have recently done to the app is fantastic. The ability to instantly cash in for gift cards: wow. Just WOW! This app rocks. Seriously. For anyone curious: I just now cashed in for two $25 Amazon cards and it took me two minutes flat to get them. 2 minutes.
They paid me on my birthday!!! I am a bit upset that i was unable to redeem my points for paypal since they were migrating to another system. However, the pay is consistent and if you prefer cash, just sell the amazon gift cards online for cash. I was so happy that they gave me extra money on my birthday!!! It made my bday so much better just to know that google cares about my bday!!!! Nobody else i know even remenbers my bday. Thanks Google.
Lies, lies, and more lies. As long as I've had this app installed, PayPal was an option for redeeming my rewards points. The moment I'm finally eligible to get cash, suddenly the app is "updated" to remove that option and replaced with gift cards only??? There are plenty of other apps that take less data and battery power and give better gift card rewards. I didn't sign up for this to get yet more gift cards. Please allow the option you claimed was valid when I signed up and allow Venmo/PayPal rewards...or was that just a scam to get people to sign up???
Great improvement in timing Now you can cash out at $5 and the rewards are so far instant. App keeps asking if I need to change users, as I have multiple Google accounts on the tablet and phone,which is annoying.
Cheaters Used this app for 6 months. Got 2 rewards, then close to my 3rd reward, they suspend my account and accuse me of fraud, all I get now are robo-replies when I try to contact them. I don't get how I can commit fraud on such a dumb app. They can bite me.

Masayoshi Yamazaki's single for Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song-, "Minuet", is one of the most eccentric theme songs I've heard in awhile. There's "humorous" eccentric, which we have found in the Hanjuku Hero Vs. 3D theme song...but this one isn't meant to be humorous. It's meant to be strangely beautiful. The good news is that Yamazaki manages to accomplish this feat.
Yamazaki's vocal tone is one that you seldom come across: making good use of his own soft and soothing vibrato, he records his voice over itself many times to create some very interesting harmonies. The chord progression is varied, and the journey from the verse to the chorus is certainly an enjoyable one. I don't know whether to call it pop or neo-renaissance.
I found that I enjoyed the "Acoustic" version even more than the original. Be sure to listen to both samples to decide which one you like more.
If you decide to purchase this single, don't bother to hunt down the limited edition. All it has on it is a screen saver and some wallpapers of the musician to put on your computer. I'd settle for just the single. Of course, the in-game version is only a minute shorter than the full length version, so if you already have the Minstrel Song OST, I wouldn't even bother getting this single. Only those who are enchanted by this song and Yamazaki's voice yet dislike Ito's work should consider getting this single.

ELLENWOOD, Ga. -- Even as a child, Temeka Minor said her son Brandon Greene wanted to be a big boy.
"When he was 5 years old he tried to dress himself for school," Minor said. "I got a call back from the teacher one day saying he put his shirt on inside-out underneath his coat. That was just him trying to be a big boy and do things on his own."
Greene's continued growth would put him on the basketball court at Ellenwood (Ga.) Cedar Grove -- a path that he had hoped would take him to the next level.
"Coming into high school, I was thinking my future was in hoops," Greene said. "Then Coach [Ray] Bonner came along and changed my mind, and I am grateful to him for that."
"I saw him in PE class in ninth grade and I asked him if he was going to play football," Bonner said. "He said, 'No Coach, I am a basketball player.' I said, 'No Brandon, you are a football player and you have a chance to be a great left tackle.'"
Bonner was right. Greene, 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds, is No. 25 in the ESPNU 150 and the No. 4 offensive tackle in the country. He was presented with his jersey for the Under Armour All-America Game during a Thursday pep rally in the Cedar Grove gym. It was part of the 80-stop American Family Insurance presents the Under Armour All-America Game selection tour. The game, in its fifth year, will take place on Jan. 5, 2012, in St. Petersburg, Fla., and will be aired on ESPN.
Starting quarterback Johnathon McCrary, a ESPNU Watch List prospect, played basketball with Greene and has been the beneficiary of having the 6-foot-5, 290-pound athlete as a teammate in both sports.
"Brandon would just knock guys out of the way for me," McCrary said. "I told him he can't do that on the court. But on the football field that would be OK."
The decision to play football is one that has not only worked out well for Greene, but for McCrary as well. Last year, the 6-3, 185-pound junior completed over 65 percent of his passes for 3,343 yards and 24 touchdowns, while running for more than 700 yards as well. He attributes his success to Greene, and has complete trust in his ability to protect his blind side.
"If I was going to walk down a dark alley, I would want to have Brandon with me," McCrary said. "I know I would walk out alive. Really, Brandon is the greatest person I have had the pleasure of knowing."
That's a typical reaction when people get to know Greene. It's why his coach sees Greene's selection as an Under Armour All-American as an opportunity for Ellenwood to find hope in hard work.
"It means a lot to our community that Brandon Greene has the honor of playing in this game," Bonner said. "They see that they have this opportunity to succeed in life, and they know Brandon is where he is because of his work ethic. He is always on time and always doing what he is supposed to do and just making things happen for himself. That is something that is often lost in today's society."
For Greene, he hopes this is just the beginning of seeing the fruits of his labor.
"This game just shows that hard work pays off," Greene said. "It is such a blessing and I never thought I would have been able to have my choice of games to play in. Joshua Jarboe played in this game, I am going, and I hope McCrary gets to keep the Cedar Grove/Under Armour tradition going next year."
During the spring evacuation period, offers began to pour in for Greene as Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, South Carolina and many others saw his immense potential. His recruitment would not last long as Greene, who is No. 25 in the ESPNU 150, said his commitment in March was as easy as deciding which all-star game to play in.
"It was my childhood dream to go to Alabama," Greene said. "When I played NCAA (video game), I would always pick the Crimson Tide."
His commitment has not stopped other programs from pursuing the athletic tackle with an immense frame, but Greene is just not listening to what the coaches have to say.
"Georgia and South Carolina are still coming after me, but I do not answer the phone when they call and I doubt I will visit anywhere else," Greene said.

Although most have won critical acclaim, others are there for a good laugh or because they happened to be on cable on a rainy day. In short, I'm no connoisseur, I just have varied taste. However, I avoid horror flicks due to an overactive imagination. Films are in no particular order. Happy watching!

Weather Forecast: July 28 – August 3, 2016 (07/28/16)
A ridge of high pressure currently over the Pacific Northwest has adjusted the upper level wind flow over the northern plains. Currently, the flow is from the northwest and this will continue to allow cooler Canadian air to dominate our weather for a couple of more days. Western North Dakota will start recording warmer temperatures on Saturday, but eastern North Dakota will continue on the cool side until Sunday afternoon. The warmer temperatures this weekend into the middle of next week will be associated with that ridge of high pressure to our west moving slowly over our region this weekend into the middle of next week. This will bring back average to even slightly above average temperatures to the region.
Maximum temperatures in the 90s are foreseen on Sunday afternoon in western North Dakota and certainly a few other days the maximums may be near 90° in other locations throughout North Dakota into northwestern Minnesota. Yet, the upcoming period of warmer temperatures does not look as warm, nor as humid, as the last surge of warm air from earlier this week into late last week. This will mean fewer hours of relative humidity (RH) values above 85% as were recorded this past week (Figure 1). Plus, with this period starting cool and with the expected upcoming warmth not being as extreme as what we recorded in the middle of July, these next seven days are expected to record about 10% fewer growing degree days (GDDs) than we measured in the past week.
Precipitation is expected to be either non-existent or not very widespread for the next few days. With the cooler air from Canada also comes in drier air, meaning the wet locations will have an opportunity to dry off in the short term. It does appear as the next surge of warmer air moves in, that the upper-level wind flow will transition to a southwesterly direction ushering in thunderstorms early next week (Sunday night into Monday Night). Then there will probaby be another threat of rain toward the middle of next week (late Wednesday/Thursday, August 3,4) as a period of cooler air moves back into the region. Beyond this period there are indications that a warmer and drier pattern will emerge as we move toward the middle of August. Meaning, there is still plenty of summer ahead of us.

Southwest ND (07/28/16)
In the past week between July 19th and July 26th there has been some rainfall. According to NDAWN Dickinson received 0.45 inch and Mott received 1.22 inch of rainfall. Hettinger continues to be dry with no rainfall recorded. The recent precipitation has slowed harvest, however most peas and winter wheat in the region have been harvested. Spring cereals and canola are reaching maturity and will be harvested soon. Some sunflower fields are just starting to flower.

Northeast ND
Wet weather continues for much of the region. Combined with humidity, risks for sclerotinia infection are high, the highest in the last four years. I observed dozens of apothecia in 2015 canola fields when I looked under this year's soybean crop canopy in a single location. Canola, dry beans and sunflowers are our most sensitive crops. Signs of infection are showing up: early stem infections of canola (pictured), wilted sunflowers with root sclerotinia infection and sunflower stalks with infection.
The humid and wet weather have been conducive for scab for several weeks. Soybean aphids are in the northern tier counties. Low levels will not harm yields and frequent rainfalls also decrease populations. Follow IPM guidelines of 250 aphids per plant and increasing on 85% of plants.

Northwest ND (07/28/16)
Hot weather has been pushing crops along in the Northwest and harvest has started. Harvest of winter wheat and peas began last week and barley is getting under way. Early-planted spring wheat and durum fields are starting to turn from green to brown. Some lentil fields are starting to dry down but in areas that have received a lot of rain, progress is a bit slower.
The annual field days at the Williston REC were held at the main station on July 14 and at the irrigated Nesson Valley site on July 15. Attendance was strong at both events and the weather was perfect. A new feature this year was a "Stump the Plant Doctors" booth where the public could ask research and extension specialists about their plant-related problems. The booth went well as we had many attendees bring us their weeds, tree branches, and leaves for diagnosis.

Lack of Canola Seed Fill (07/28/16)
Lack of Canola Seed Fill
Question: I have a customer whose peas have made pods, but they are not filling up with peas.
No fertilizer was applied, although the peas were inoculated. Prior to spraying this field the applicator had treated a field using Spartan Charge. The field was treated with Shadow (Clethodim) and no other herbicides. The peas showed some yellowing after treatment, but seemed to recover. A sample was sent to SD Lab to detect herbicides a couple weeks ago – no results yet.
Could one of the herbicides cause the pods to not fill? I know Clethodim generally does not affect broadleaves. From Spartan spray tank contamination the symptoms does not look like PPO inhibitor herbicides. Could the peas have phosphorus deficiency?
Answer: Please read the Remarks information on page 35 from the Canola section in the weed guide.
Remarks of the POST grass herbicide section (Assure II, Poast, Select/others):
"Clethodim may injure peas when applied during bloom".
The same restriction of no application during bloom includes field pea, flax, canola, tame mustard.
The injury is specifically to the reproductive tissue on the crop plants listed above resulting in lack of seed development and yield loss. The reproductive tissue does not exhibit the same level as tolerance as the vegetative tissue. I suspect that is your answer. I also suspect we need to make this more visible in the guide. See study below conducted in 1999 for a representation of injury and yield loss from canola.

Molecular Herbicide Resistance Testing (07/28/16)
Molecular Herbicide Resistance Testing
This may not apply to most of you but there is molecular testing available to confirm herbicide resistance to herbicides.
U. of Illinois:
PPO resistance has developed in waterhemp in the mid-west and with the preferential use of PPO herbicide for kochia, ragweed, and waterhemp control in ND soybean production there is a high risk of PPO resistant waterhemp and possibly ragweed development in ND.
There are many PPO herbicides registered in soybean and some other broadleaf crops. Some include:
- Preemergence - Spartan/Authority, Valor, and Sharpen.
- Postemergence – Ultra Blazer, Cobra, Cadet, Flexstar/Reflex, Vida, and Aim.
Waterhemp and ragweed expansion in ND has not decreased but continues to move west and north in ND. With territory movement there will also likely result in additional herbicide resistance beyond the present ALS and glyphosate resistance. NDSU weed scientists are interested to help confirm new herbicide resistant biotypes. Please contact us if you suspect new resistant types.

Why was 2016 a "Bad" Year for IDC IN SOYBEANS? (07/28/16)
Why was 2016 a "Bad" Year for IDC IN SOYBEANS?
One question I have been asked very often over the years is, "Why is the chlorosis so bad this year?" Answering this question isn't easy, but it might be helpful to review what we know about the factors that cause and intensify IDC in soybeans.
#1. Calcium carbonate in the topsoil. This is the root of the problem and iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) cannot occur without carbonates in the root zone. "Lime" in the topsoil buffers the pH of the soil around 8. Soils contain a lot of iron, but iron is much less soluble in the soil solution at a pH of 8 than, say, a pH of 7. The soluble product of carbonates (bicarbonate) neutralizes soybean root surface acidity and in doing so, the activity of the compound that soybean roots exude that make iron a trillion times more soluble is rendered ineffective.
#2. Wetness. If a soil has a seasonal high water table, water cannot flow downwards, and the topsoil will stay wet for extended periods after snowmelt or heavy rain. The main reason this intensifies chlorosis is that wet topsoil containing "lime" will generate a lot of the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) in the soil solution when the field is wet. The bicarbonate ion is very good at suppressing the solubility of iron, suppressing plant uptake of iron. Plant roots can also take up bicarbonate, and iron can be precipitated within the plant. Wetness can also increase the availability of manganese (Mn2+) in the soil, and this can intensify IDC.
Soybean plants with IDC in North Dakota usually contain very high, sometimes excessive, levels of manganese in the leaves. Fertilizer dealers commonly offer micronutrient "packages" that contain manganese. Save your money, the last thing you need is additional manganese on soils that produce IDC.
#3. Nitrates. Excess nitrate in the soil intensifies IDC in soybeans. Areas in a field that produce severe IDC in soybeans are often less productive for other crops, too. If a farmer fertilizes that field uniformly with nitrogen, it is common for IDC "hot spots" to become, over time, very high in nitrate. Use of cover crops in the fall, or a companion crop of oats or barley planted with the soybeans in the spring may reduce nitrate levels in the soil and decrease surface wetness.
#4. Salinity. Elevated salinity is associated with more intense IDC in soybeans. On level terrain, elevated salinity, like the presence of CaCO3 in the topsoil, is associated with the presence of a water table during at least part of the growing season. The presence of salinity indicates a water table problem, and greenhouse work has shown that just adding the common components of salinity (sodium and magnesium sulfate) can intensify chlorosis. Increased salinity is a major stress on soybeans and the plants are not able to cope with IDC as well.
#5. Your variety may not be as resistant to IDC as the seed company says. It is an educational exercise to look at NDSU's chlorosis ratings each year. Take the five or ten weakest varieties in NDSU's trials, the ones with the worst chlorosis, and look up their IDC ratings on the web sites of the respective seed companies. Give it a try, and draw your own conclusions.
So, why was 2016 a "bad" chlorosis year? Nobody knows for sure, and certainly the weather is variable across the soybean production area of North Dakota. But it does seem that some of the factors listed above were in play. From about June of 2015 until after planting in 2016, the weather was drier than normal. If crop yields in 2015 were reduced by water stress, there may have been higher than normal nitrates in the soil. The long, dry period allowed for upward movement of salts in some soils. In April this year, the visual extent of saline 'whiteness' in many fields was astounding. After emergence, significant rain was received in many areas, causing the wetness factor.
The control measures for IDC are well-known.
- First, select the proper fields for soybeans. Just because soybeans are $10 per bushel and barley might be $3, doesn't mean that soybeans in a field with high salt and carbonate content will be more profitable. 10 bushel per acre soybeans isn't profitable at any price, whereas barley at $3 could easily make 70 bushels per acre in the same field.
- Second, grow a resistant variety. Don't depend on the information from seed dealers alone. Take into consideration the NDSU IDC ratings. Talk to neighbors, ask them which varieties are working.
- Third, chlorosis seems to be somewhat less severe when the soybeans are planted in wider rows (22 or 30 inch) versus narrow rows (6-7 inch).
- Fourth consider trying a barley cover crop at soybean planting time. This could be barley broadcast at about a bushel per acre and lightly worked in, or seeded with a two-compartment seeder unit. Kill out the barley when it reaches 3 leaf if dry, and up to 5 leaf if there are wet conditions.
- Fifth, apply an effective chelate, in-furrow at planting. Two or three pounds per acre of a high-quality FeEDDHA product has proven to alleviate IDC and increase yields, but not with susceptible varieties. An application of FeEDDHA cannot make a susceptible variety grow like a resistant variety. For fields with the worst problems of IDC, use of a resistant variety, cover crop, wider row spacing, and an in-furrow application of an effective chelate are required to yield profitably.

NEW YORK A move by Samsung to include free anti-theft features on its Galaxy S5 smartphones sold by Verizon Wireless (VZ.N) and U.S. Cellular (USM.N) won praise on Friday by two U.S. members of an international coalition aimed at combating robberies involving smartphones.
The new features allow Galaxy S5 users to track devices and require the owner's account information to reset the phone. The features, Find My Mobile, and Reactivation Lock, will come installed in the phones but must be activated by users.
"The decision ... to provide Samsung's Find My Mobile and Reactivation Lock features on Galaxy S5 smartphones and to allow those features to be activated for free is a step forward in our effort to ensure the industry makes effective theft deterrents available on every smartphone sold in America," New York's attorney general, Eric Schneiderman, and San Francisco's district attorney, George Gascon, said in a statement.
Schneiderman and Gascon, along with London Mayor Boris Johnson, are co-chairs of the coalition Secure Our Smartphone Initiative.
They said, however, that they remain "concerned that consumers will need to opt in to the system, thereby limiting the ubiquity and effectiveness of the solution."
Both Schneiderman and Gascon have criticized the cellphone industry for what they say is a perceived unwillingness to solve an escalating theft problem.
Schneiderman has publicly supported bills currently in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate that would require a kill switch to be installed in every smartphone manufactured in the United States. The switch would prevent the phone from being re-activated in the black market.
In 2012, 1.6 million Americans were victimized for their smartphones, according to Schneiderman's office.

Modern Green Cherokee Lofts
Update 12/13/09: Platinum Lofts @ Cherokee Studios Now Complete!
There's a lot to mention with REthink Development's project called Cherokee Lofts: history, sustainability, modern design, materials innovation, etc. This Pugh + Scarpa-designed development is on track to be named the first, privately developed, LEED Gold Certified, mixed-use project in Southern California. The project will have 12 loft units, all ranging in size from 1,000 – 2,000 sf, and 2,800 sf of commercial space.
Phinney House, Modern Green Attractive Reuse
I guess the term would be adaptive reuse, but I think I'm going to start calling this "attractive reuse." Attractive reuse is about taking boring, old, traditional homes and renovating them into modern, green abodes. The Phinney House was intended to be a case study house — the existing house was extensively remodeled, the main floor was raised to give more height in the basement, the main floor plan was opened up, and a new second floor was added. It's Built-Green certified, too. Some of the many ecologically sustainable elements in this project include the following: hydronic radiant-floor heat; whole-house heat-recovery ventilation; FSC-certified lumber, plywood and cabinetry; reclaimed fir beams and columns; sustainably harvested Ipe wood siding and decking; straw-board flooring; non-toxic paints and finishes; concrete with fly-ash content; and rain-screen siding. Nice.
Also, for other attractive reuse projects, check out the Boxhouse and the TrailerWrap Project. Check below for what the Phinney House looked like before the makeover.
Brad Pitt to Make It Right with 150 Affordable, Sustainable Homes
UPDATE:: 12/3/2007 Make It Right Project: 13 Designs, 150 Homes
Hot on the heels of Pitt's latest work in New Orleans comes this new announcement that he and Steve Bing are planning a new 150-home community in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward. He wants to Make It Right, in a place that gets less and less attention. So at this point, I would consider Brad Pitt a developer — he has vision and can bring all the different players together to move meaningful projects forward. Pitt, with an eye towards design, sustainability, and affordability, keeps stacking success upon success. It's really interesting to follow.
Naturally, these homes will be affordable and sustainable, but to get the project going, both Bing and Pitt have pledged $5 million each in matching funds. If you're interested, here's where you can submit donations. He's already retained William McDonough + Partners (think: Cradle to Cradle) to lead the sustainable construction process, but look who else is helping out … Pugh + Scarpa Architecture, Morphosis, Shigeru Ban Architects, and Adjaye Architects, to name a few. Enough said. I can't wait to see the renderings.
PG&E Puts $10 M Towards Ice-Based Peak Demand Energy Shifting
Recently, Ice Energy, a company that makes an ice-based air-conditioning system (explained below), announced their collaboration with PG&E in California on a $10-million dollar project. The project is called "Shift and Save," and here's the background: in the middle of the day, when the temperature is the highest, energy demand and the cost of energy is very high. But with Ice Energy's product, consumers can "Shift and Save" by using energy in the nighttime, instead of the daytime. Daytime energy consumption is the bottleneck, it's the peak, so energy generation must be sufficient to match peak demand. Interestingly, to the extent demand for peak energy can be permanently reduced, the need for new energy generation (i.e. coal plants) is reduced as well. Nice.
The system consists of a large plastic attachment for commercial air conditioning units that is filled with water, frozen overnight, and used to cool refrigerant during the day. According to Ice Energy CEO, Frank Ramirez, "It stores energy at night, when energy is cleaner to produce, cheaper to buy and easier to obtain, and it makes it available for use during the day." The new hardware costs about $10,500 and weighs about 5,000 pounds when filled with water. It looks very similar to a standard AC unit. Also, there can be an additional retrofitting cost of as much as $10,000 for existing buildings and a minimum $750 cost for new construction. Ice Energy is testing residential models (but another company called Trinity Thermal with the IceCycle has residential models already out right now). Anyone have experience to share?
The Austonian to be Green, Austin's Tallest Tower (S2)
In a city known for its aversion to development and proudly celebrated with the phrase "Keep Austin Weird," what does it take to get the go ahead approvals on what will be the tallest tower in the skyline? Quite simply, a commitment to green building. The Austonian, developed by Benchmark Development and designed by Ziegler Cooper Architects, is going to be one of a kind in Austin. And judging by the renderings, it's going to tower over everything else in the city, too. The 56-floor building will have 188 residential condominiums, with pricing from $550,000 (rough revenue analysis = 188 * $550k = $103.4 M). But there's also going to be some ground floor retail, and according to Emporis, construction is expected to be complete in 2009.
The Austonian will be built to Austin's well-known Green Building Program, with features such as a rainwater capture system; high-performance, low-E glass walls; Mecho-Shades; and Energy Star-rated appliances. There's also going to be an urban garden a first-class fitness room on the top floor. The tower will feature a glass and aluminum "skin" that is layered to provide depth to its slender shape. So, all in all, it looks good and if you're going to build high, at least it's in the middle of downtown.

Road Construction Projects
Updates on current roadway and related projects and major street closures in Chandler
July 2016
Important Links:
Alma School/Chandler Blvd Improvement Project: The City is planning to improve traffic flow and safety at this intersection by adding dual left turn lanes, dedicated right turn lanes, and an auxiliary through lane in each direction. The project would also include new storm drains, curb, gutter, sidewalks, signals and landscaping. Construction is planned for early 2017 and more than 80 percent of the construction cost will be funded by a $5.5 million Highway Safety Improvement Program grant from the Federal Highway Administration. The Alma School/Chandler Boulevard intersection handles approximately 61,000 vehicles per day and had the fourth highest collision rate in the City in 2012. A 'before and after' crash analysis of seven similar intersection improvement projects in Chandler showed accidents decreased an average of 35 percent. For more information about the project, contact Hafiz Noor at 480-782-3324.
McQueen Road Improvements (Chandler Heights to Riggs Rd):
This project is widening McQueen Road to four lanes between Chandler Heights and Riggs roads. The project begain in April 2016 and will be completed by the end of the year. Improvements include new curb, gutter, storm drain, sidewalks, streetlights, bike lanes, medians and landscaping. McQueen Road has been widened south of the Loop 202 Santan Freeway to Chandler Heights Road in earlier phases. For more information contact Amanda Sahin at 480-782-3349. Information about the project is available online at www.McQueenRoadChandler.com and a 24-hour hotline (602-750-7139) has been established for persons having questions or concerns during construction.
Ocotillo Road Improvements (Cooper Road to Gilbert Road): A design contract was awarded in February 2016 to prepare construction drawings. Construction of the project is tentatively scheduled for early 2017. This project will improveOcotillo Road between Cooper Road and Gilbert Road. Portions of the road improvements have already been completed by developers and other road improvement projects. This project will complete the improvements to four lanes with bike lanes, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, street lighting, traffic signals, storm drainage, landscaping, utility relocation and wet utilities. For more information, contact Paul Young, Sr. Engineer, at 480-782-3146.
Queen Creek Road Improvements (McQueen Road to Gilbert Road, plus Cooper Road south to Nightingale Lane):
The City is planning to widen Queen Creek Road to six lanes between McQueen and Gilbert Roads and Cooper Road to four lanes between Queen Creek Road and Nightingale Lane.

Ray Road Right Turn Lane at Dobson Road (July thru October 2016):
Eastbound Ray Road at Dobson Road will experience lane restrictions resulting from construction of a dedicated right turn lane. The new right turn bay is being constructed to reduce delays for eastbound traffic wanting to turn right at Dobson, especially during evening rush hour. The project will begin July 5 and take approximately four months to complete. Eastbound Ray at Dobson will be reduced from three lanes to two lanes Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. R.K. Sanders, Inc., has been contracted to perform the work at a cost of $187,760. In addition to the turn bay, the project will include new sidewalk ramps at each corner of the Ray/Dobson intersection to comply with desi

UPDATE: Autoblog spoke with Infiniti spokesperson Nick Twork, who clarified some of the details originally outlined in this story. First, all current Q50 models without Direct Adaptive Steering use hydraulic power steering. The proposed new system would be adapted from the previous G37S, which used a variable-ratio hydraulic steering rack. This is the one that could potentially be used in the Q50S for the 2016 model year.

With as far electric power assist steering (EPAS) has come in recent years, it was only a matter of time before an automaker came up with a fully electric steering system. Nissan has developed such a system that replaces the mechanical steering linkage of today's cars with a "wired" steering column that uses drivers inputs to steer the front wheels via electronic controllers, and this type of system could be found on Infiniti models within the next year.

Back in November of 2010, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (MEC) announced that it was actively developing what it claimed to be the "world's smallest and lightest" motor controller unit for electric power steering systems in automobiles. This compact unit is, according to Mitsubishi, half the size and 30 percent lighter than the company's current products, while offering equal power output.

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that it's developed the world's smallest and lightest motor controller unit for electric power steering systems in automobiles. This compact unit is claimed to be half the size and 70 percent the weight of the company's current products. Despite its compact size, Mitsubishi Electric claims to have improved output power of its motor controller by roughly 30 percent through optimization of the electromagnetic design and an increase in the motor's coil dens

Since Ford is replacing the entire engine lineup for the 2011 F-150 pickup trucks, it has apparently decided not to reinstall at least one component that is usually bolted to those engines: the hydraulic power steering pump. According to PickupTrucks.com, the updated models will be the first full-size trucks to use electric power steering (EPAS) almost across the board.

In recent years, electric power steering systems (EPAS) have rapidly been supplanting older hydraulic systems as a means of reducing both weight and parasitic losses. Until now, most of the EPAS applications have been on small- to mid-sized cars.

Maybe someone needs to explain this ad to me, but I'm honestly considering to stop using Axe products after seeing this shallow commercial.
You'd think BBH NYC could produce something better.
It lacks any honest message or snappy twist at the end.
I find it offensive - both as a copywriter and a human.
I like it. And I think they are right about the fact ad based on.
ok, ok – insight is good, but not as true as it seems to be.
And really men notice tits only at first glance? hmm...
Sorry, but Yes, "most" men do. Unless you're gay, blind or have some kind of a fetish.
I think this is possibly the sweetest Axe spot I've seen. Lovely little play that looks like it's about shyness and coy love and, okay, tits, but in the end they look each other in the eye: the monstrous testosterone of the pit-spray spots is entirely gone, and for a brand to escape that legacy while branching into another personal care range, that's a superb piece of agency engineering there. Most excellent.
and what about Susan Glenn?
But it's true – this way of thinking is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar way better than masculine-macho-testosterone point of view presented before. "Even angels will fall" is good thought in the sense it's properly built, but the very meaning of it was always pathetic in my opinion.
Hadn't seen the Susan Glenn before; really didn't rate the voiceover as much as the script, which kind of fell off once the Big Reveal turned out to be a Big Star: there was no 'closure', apart from turning an everyman situation into a pointed glimpse into that-guy's life. I'd rate this ad way higher than Susan Glenn.
As a female, i beg to object. This insight is not true at all especially on this side of the planet. I for one, look at feet first. It is a nice idea but built on very shaky ground.

You're all missing the point. DANIEL FUCKING JOHNSTON!!!!!!!! Unreal. Home run.
Not sure why we should be delighted that Daniel Johnston's music has been co-opted for a basely misogynistic commercial for hair wax or w/e.
Like the funny character, but I think is a waste of work... there is no concept here and no connection with the product. And, come on, only because is a very well made ad u can not refuse the fact that is a poor and old point of view... true or not I think that is old.
I got it immediatly. Intriguing with a good insight. Cannes stuff.
