From a agri extension service perspective a city has disturbed soils, in part due to the complexities of how different professions are realized. Often the city runs away from addressing the social pathologies (see Ian McHarg's Design with Nature) and realize that the data he drew from was heavily skewed becasue certain illnesses do not show up in public data.

But from the computer, the energy alnalytics are not what they could be because data is not profound knowledge. If anything, while I appreciate the kind offer to spend up to 8 hours testing the software, the reality is that already I spend much time trying to offer comments where possible with the hope that maybe a few people or really the Arkansas psyche will wake up to address the issues in a healthier manner. I have given in the past the basic article to the leadership but perhaps was considered too abstract or as you gently put it, would seem to have fallen off the wagon.

The better point though is to share with you how in taking 3-D and 4-D art classes, in the sculpture of clay and animation, I would think back to the space that Henry Moore's work would occupy in Little Rock. Just know that no 3-D design software could have realized that expression. Perhaps we can realize the essence of a fluxuus animation/Cage sort of event in at scale in due time?

The concept sketch looks as if it is done in Sketchup, a 3D modeling program by Trimble Navigation. The colors shown are two of the default settings of the software. That may be the reason for the cartoonish look and colors. It is a quick program to work out and visualize 3D designs.

Anyone can download the program and try it for 8 hours at http://www.sketchup.com/download/. Why don't you try it and show us how yours would be better. You can do several versions in 8 hours of use time.

Guests were Marlo Thomas, Gloria Steinem, Melissa Harris-Perry Egyptian columnist Mona Eltahatwy, Laura Flanders, Mallika Dutt, and Ranjina Hamidi of the Afghanistan/Pakistan/India Women's Regional Network.

That is a lot of accumulated wisdom and worth a listen.
Posted by the outlier]]> Sat, 09 Feb 2013 12:38:57 -0600 Arkansas Times Look again honey child! For when business really understands, they will bring the money home. What good is to live in the "Ark" and disrupt the need for the right to peacefully assemble products, goods and services? Instead of pecan shells, just substitute from acorns from North and South Oak, or some Pine Needles, from North and South Pine. I'm told the acid from the needles is quite helpful to the blueberries, if the extension can only engineer some of them. Or try some muscadines rather than kudzu. Ka peach!

Don't add insulting looting to injurious looting.

ANd if you insist upon financing... make sure all of that is paid in full with this tax... don't use this to set up one of those false cliffs later so you can scare people into renewing this regressive tax again.

"You reap what you sow," is as true for cities and states as for individuals.

Just from what's been posted on this blog, from the get-go, this project has always and still does smack of a boondoggle that will profit its developers and their champions and nobody else.

Least of all truly "high tech" enterprises that won't be drawn to right-wing fundamentalist Tea Party climates such as yours. They don't have to perform much due-diligence: just pick up any national newspaper or visit any news site online to read all about how WalMart treats its employees and your politicians treat your women, children, gays, blacks, immigrants, the poor, the uneducated, et al.

Is there any short-term solution?

Frankly, no.

Arkansas has been too long building to its present sad, even tragic, craziness to reverse course anytime soon.

The Chamber of Commerce types will be disappointed they didn't get to mess with so many of the 99%. But they will have plenty of other opportunities to do so in the future.
