October 2013 OPPM Monthly Project Reports October 27, 1976 The Arts and Industries Building receives an Historic Preservation Award from the Washington Metropolitan Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The ceremony was held in the National Gallery of Art Cafe. A plaque, which was affixed to the building exterior, and four certificates of achievement of excellence in historic preservation, are awarded. October 2013 Office of Facilities Engineering and Operations October 2013 Arts and Industries Building Revitalization Phase 1 - Shell Mission/Scope: On May 5, 2008, the Board of Regents decided not to pursue a public private partnership and to seek other resources in order to fund the revitalization of the Arts & Industries Building. The project will comprise three phases: the Shell, the Interior, and the Program. While the program is being developed, work on the Shell has moved forward –the replacement of the roof exceeding 10,000 M2 and more than 800 windows and structural improvements to address snow, wind, seismic and blast loads is under construction. The cost of the Shell improvements is approximately $50M. The 2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act funded $5.1M of additional masonry repairs and interior demolition and hazmat removal. The balance of the work is funded with Facilities Capital; earmarked federal Legacy funds; and Trust funds in support of the design, construction, and program.

In order to create a program for the building that celebrates American ingenuity, the Smithsonian has entered into a seven‐ year collaboration with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to develop an Innovation Pavilion of approximately 1650 square meters. The Pavilion will be a center for active learning, engaging visitors using digital technology and informing them about new developments in American innovation and technology. In addition to the Innovation Pavilion, plans are being developed for other parts of AIB, including additional exhibitions, public programs, a store and a café. The interior will not be completely finished in 2014 because the permanent use of the building is uncertain. All improvements to ensure the public’s life safety will have been made and infrastructure to support the programs will be provided.

The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This article presents an extensive review of the physics of wind-blown sand and dust on Earth and Mars. Specifically, we review the physics of aeolian saltation, the formation and development of sand dunes and ripples, the physics of dust aerosol emission, the weather phenomena that trigger dust storms, and the lifting of dust by dust devils and other small- scale vortices. We also discuss the physics of wind-blown sand and dune formation on Venus and Titan.

Ribbons of them roll down, slack against the sky. They float in from all compass points, in kettles of a dozen, dropping with the dusk. Scores of Grus canadensis settle on the thawing river. They gather on the island flats, grazing, beating their wings, trumpeting: the advance wave of a mass evacuation. More birds land by the minute, the air red with calls. A neck stretches long; legs drape behind. Wings curl forward, the length of a man. Spread like fingers, primaries tip the bird into the wind’s plane. The blood-red head bows and the wings sweep together, a cloaked priest giving benediction. Tail cups and belly buckles, surprised by the upsurge of ground. Legs kick out, their backward knees flapping like broken landing gear. Another bird plummets and stumbles forward, fighting for a spot in the packed staging ground along those few miles of water still clear and wide enough to pass as safe.

  • SELECTED SAMPLES of ARTS WRITING by MICOL HEBRON What Follows Are Selections from a Variety of My Publications from the Time
    SELECTED SAMPLES OF ARTS WRITING BY MICOL HEBRON What follows are selections from a variety of my publications from the time period between 2007 and 2012. I have included brief reviews, catalog essays, and critical essays that I authored and had published during this time. For a complete list of my publications, please refer to my Curriculum Vitae. Hebron, Micol “Putting the Words back into the F-Word, an interview with feminist artists Audrey Chan and Elana Mann”, Interview, ArtPulse, August, 2012 Print. http://artpulsemagazine.com/tag/elana-mann Putting the Words Back into the F-Word. An Interview with Audrey Chan and Elana Mann Audrey Chan and Elana Mann, organizers of Shares and Stakeholders: The Feminist Art Project Day of Panels at the 100th Annual College Association Conference, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, 2012. Podium skirt designed by CamLab. Photo: Jean-Paul Leonard. Since 2005, Los Angeles-based artists Audrey Chan and Elana Mann have been revitalizing feminist practice with their collaborative projects that engage historic models of first- and second-wave feminist strategies fused with contemporary relational aesthetics and social engagement. Chan is an artist, writer and educator whose work addresses civic discourse, rhetoric and the feminist construct of “the personal is political.” Mann’s multidisciplinary artwork explores alternative economies, empathetic exchange, and the politics of resistance. Chan and Mann’s collaborative work asks important and honest questions about Micol Hebron, MFA, Assistant Professor Selected Publications 1 feminism, acknowledges the still prevalent influence of past feminists, and fuels the hope and action of current feminists. Through the production of significant conferences, symposia, and performative events around the country (and soon the world), the duo’s projects boast an inclusive and discursive interdisciplinarity that is substantially promoting and expanding the feminist dialogue.
