  1. I wonder if this is what they are meaning by a vertical power center:http://uacdc.uark.edu/work/the-vertical-power-center-prototype-development
  2. In 1980 there were around 10,000 billboards. Recently, in 2008 almost 900 were removed; 67 in 2010 and 2011 which leaves around 1,500 in which most are within city limits. This year there has been talks of a new deal that is going to see the removal of 140 more. So all in all, there has an 85% reduction in billboards across the city. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/City-eyes-deals-on-billboard-eyesores-6013365.php

  17. I was at a luncheon over at the Petroleum Club and thought I'd get a shot in. I'll probably be able to do that about once a month.
