    The original source for data in this spreadsheet is a 2002 study for MassDEP by Draper/Lennon, Inc. titled Identification, Characterization, and Mapping of Food Waste and Food Waste Generators in Massachusetts . The final report from this study is available online at: http://www.mass.gov/dep/about/priorities/foodwast.doc. The data was updated in summer 2011 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 office. This study identified large generators of food waste in Massachusetts, such as food processors, wholesalers, grocery stores, institutions, and large restaurants. It calculated estimated food waste generation, shown in tons per year (TPY) in column G, and mapped generator locations to facilitate planning of programs and facilities for capturing source separated organic materials for composting or other diversion. Note that waste generation estimates are not available for food and beverage manufacturers/processors and distributors due to the variability in these sectors. In some other cases, generation estimates are not available for other facilities when data needed to estimate generation is missing for that location. Facility Category Codes in column F marked TYPE show generator groupings in the report as follows: Type Category Description Food and Beverage F Manufacturers/Processors W Wholesale Distributors IH Institutions -Healthcare Facilities IS Institutions -Independent Schools IC Institutions -Colleges/Universities IP Institutions -Correctional Facilities C Resorts and Conference Facilities G Supermarkets and Grocery Stores R Restaurants Most of the columns in the spreadsheet are self‐explanatory. Columns H, I J, and K provide GIS mapping coordinates to assist in locating food waste generators. The Massachusetts State Plane coordinates found in the X_Coord and Y_Coord fields (Columns J and K) were derived by address‐ matching via Navteq Postal Villages.

Artists like Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko practiced an art that looked to the inner, emotional life of the artist for inspiration. Non-objective art became the focus of most of those concerned with contemporary art in the 1940s and 1950s.

  • Jason Berger (January 22, 1924-October 19, 2010) Was Born
    Jason Berger (January 22, 1924-October 19, 2010) was born in Malden, Massachusetts, the son of first generation Jews from Lithuania and Latvia, on his mother’s side, and from Russia and Lithuania on his father’s side. Speaking only Yiddish till the age of three, he grew up in the Boston suburbs and attended Roxbury Memorial High School. Encouraged by his mother and uncle, J.P.Savel, illustrator for the Boston Post , Berger’s interest and passion in painting were evident very early. As a teen in the mid- nineteen thirties, he painted en plein air regularly emulating the influences he saw in Boston. The immediate approach of the watercolors of John Singer Sergeant and Winslow Homer, as well as, the love of the old master and the current trends of Modernism, Cubism and Abstraction would stay with him throughout his life. At a young age, he frequented the Museum of Fine Arts of Boston and haunted the Boston Public Library, reading all he could on painting and painting techniques. His focus on painting was recognized during high school by acceptance to the “Vocational Art Classes” at the Museum of Fine Arts of Boston where he studied drawing and composition in the afternoons. With this preparation, he received a full scholarship to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in 1941. Karl Zerbe, the principle painting teacher at the school, thought Berger and his classmates, Reed Kay, Jack Kramer, David Aronson, and George Sheridan were among best students. Karl Zerbe, a German citizen, received his position at the Museum School in 1937 after a year at Harvard University.

    Oral history interview with Arthur Polonsky, 1972 Apr. 12-May 21 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Interview RB: ROBERT BROWN AP: ARTHUR POLONSKY RB: First I'd like to have you say what you will about your upbringing, and family, your childhood. AP: I started in Lynn, Mass. 1925. My parents and one sister. What I supposed would now be described as a state of chronic poverty. It wasn't so melodramatic. After all, they were good times. My father was a tailor, with, even in the earlier childhood, some years of a certain ease and success, and some devastating declines during the depression. A lot of time for reading, drawing, which wasn't anything very special; something like this one I did at the time. Not much play or what now seems more like childhood, lots of groups of children doing things together. The area itself, the isolation in that part of Lynn, it wasn't oppressive in any way. I seemed to enjoy it. Books were very important. Public schools, and always that contact with some remarkable teacher who seemed to be an opening into something mysterious in art or in science. I lived in Lynn until I was about thirteen, and then moved to Roxbury where economically and other ways things were going worse than before. But many new things were happening, especially the literature things, the local library, certain librarians that made things accessible, and I worked in the library there.
