Glowing recommendations for outdoor lighting
At least one gym in California is trying to conserve water during what is called the state's worst drought in nearly four decades with a technology appropriate for its Silicon Valley setting.
Almaden Valley Athletic Club in San Jose, California, started using a trademarked product this week that coats brown lawns into green grass with paint.
Jeff Griffith-Jones, general manager of operations of the 38-year old fitness center, said the gym decided to pay about $600 for the services of Green Polymer Systems, a company based in nearby Los Gatos. The green treatment should last three to six months, he said.
"It looks phenomenal," Griffith-Jones said.

California Approves Fines for Water-Wasters
While some cities in California are responding to a severe drought by charging more for water or limiting water use, San Jose doesn't have those restrictions. Last week, the state's water regulators voted to approve fines up to $500 a day for residents' excessive water use.
But the fitness center's management decided to take measures upon the concern of some of its 6,000 customers.

Susan Moyer, a landscape designer, and her architect husband, Douglas Moyer, dont always work together on projects, but when they do, its beneficial for both them and the client.
Its really great because we communicate so easily, Mrs. Moyer, who works from her Sag Harbor home, explained. Her husband keeps his office in a separate building on their property, making the two easily accessible for clients.
But the factor that makes them a great team is their ability to put the needs of a client before their own personal style, she said.
I may have my own personal preferences aesthetically, but I work for a client, Mrs. Moyer explained, Im able to switch in and out and give my client what they want as opposed to having such a strict style that only certain people would come to me.
I like all of the different possibilities just like there are different people out there, Mr. Moyer explained, noting that while he finds traditional houses that look more historic more interesting, he also has enjoyed working on more modern houses with a little bit of a twist to them. The two most recently worked on a 1710 farmhouse renovation together.
Mr. Moyer mainly does residential architecture, but he has also had experience working on institutional projects, like the recently completed Parrish Art Museum, where he served as project manager, and commercial ones, like his current project, Harbor Market, which will replace Espressos in Sag Harbor Village.

When painter Nikolai Polissky and architect Vasily Schetinin moved to the village of Nikola-Lenivets, a four-hour drive south of Moscow, in 1989, they did not know that 15 years later, thousands would head to Russia's largest land art festival, Archstoyanie, which runs Friday to Sunday this week.
"Most of all, I was struck by the primordial, untouched natural beauty around Nikola-Lenivets," Polissky once told The St. Petersburg Times, "When you walk out onto the high bank of the [river] Ugra, it takes your breath away, and you understand what it was like 1,000, or 3,000 years ago."
The verdant landscape is now dotted with weird and wonderful wooden sculptures from past festivals and new ones set up for this year's event.
Visitors get to wander round the huge area checking out new objects. One of the most eagerly awaited is "Lazy Ziggurat" built from bark beetle infected timber, apparently a message to dying forests, and art performances such as Jean-Luc Brisson's degustation of clouds in the Cucumber-Compost area. The festival winds down with an eclectic music program, featuring Kira Lao, a Novgorod musician who has been compared to Beth Gibbons, which runs till early Sunday morning. This year there is also a kids camp at the festival.
Detailed instructions on how to get to the festival can be found at arch.stoyanie.ru. Tickets cost 1,000 rubles ($29).

People in Business - July 27, 2014
Chapel Hill, N.C. One of the men accused of beating a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill professor to death on a street near campus was wearing an electric monitor on his ankle at the time of the crime, authorities said Friday.
Feng Liu, 59, of Durham, was taking a lunchtime walk near the UNC campus when he was beaten and robbed near the intersection of Ransom Street and West University Drive, police said. He died early Thursday at UNC Hospitals.
Derick Davis II, 23, of Scots Pine Crossing in Durham, and Troy Arrington Jr., 27, of Johnson Street in Chapel Hill, have been charged with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon in the case.
In addition to noting that "a landscape stone" was used to beat Liu about the head, the arrest warrants state that Davis and Arrington stole Liu's wallet and four credit cards.
Several passersby found Liu in the street after the attack, and someone who called 911 said he was bleeding from his nose and ears and had difficulty breathing.
The 911 caller also reported seeing two men who were acting suspicious. Police used that witness' description apprehend Davis and Arrington.
"That first caller's information was vital in us starting to put those pieces together," said Lt. Josh Mecimore of the Chapel Hill Police Department.
Police said they have no reason to believe that Liu was targeted by his attackers.
Davis was released from the Wake County jail on Tuesday after serving three weeks on a June 28 shoplifting charge, according to the Wake County Sheriff's Office.
Likewise, Arrington was released recently from jail. He posted a $5,000 bond on July 2 after spending 10 months in the Durham County jail in connection with an August 2013 residential burglary in which a dog was stolen.
