Reinventing History | It Sounds Reasonable Actual Answers to 6th Grade History Tests • Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wore hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.

• Solomon had 300 wives and 700 porcupines. • The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn’t have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female moth. • Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline. • In the Olympic Games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled biscuits and threw the Java. • Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out: “Tee hee, Brutus.” • Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard Shaw. • Queen Elizabeth was the “Virgin Queen.” As a queen, she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops, they all shouted, Hurrah.” • It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100foot clipper. • The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couple. Romeo’s last wish was to be laid by Juliet. What a wonderful blend of information and fun!

• Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backwards and declared, “A horse divided against itself cannot stand.” Franklin died in 1700 and is still dead. • Abraham Lincoln became America’s greatest Precedent. Lincoln’s mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. They believe the assassinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth’s career and the play for everyone. • Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between, he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian and half English. He was very large. • Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this. • The nineteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing by machine. The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up. Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick raper, which did the work of a hundred men. Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbis. Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote the Organ of the Species. Madman Curie discovered radio. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx Brothers. Keep on networking,

Remember: Half the people you know are below average.

• Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada.

• Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.

ALLISON WILSON awilson@asg-architects.com Allison Wilson, AIA, LEED AP BD+C is an architect and sustainability strategist with Ayers Saint Gross, a nationally recognized leader in highperformance design for colleges, universities, and cultural institutions.

LEED 2009 vs. LEEDv4

he United States Green Building Council’s premier green building rating system, LEED 2009, phased out on October 31, 2016. All projects registered thereafter (after the ‘sunset’) are required to meet the more stringent requirements of LEEDv4.

Many entities, public and private, have standing statements that they either a) certify all new buildings and major renovations to LEED Silver or b) that they design all new building and major renovations to LEED Silver equivalent. As LEED 2009 has evolved into LEEDv4, however, so has the definition of a LEED Silver building, and that will have implications on how the architectural, engineering, construction, and development communities create projects.

A new Integrative Process credit category encourages teams to begin addressing performance early and requires a schematic design phase energy model (typically done by the architect) and a water budget (typically completed by the plumbing engineer). The number of total points required to hit a desired level of certification also remains the same.

The time for general understanding has passed. LEEDv4 is the premier green building rating system offered by USGBC and understanding the new rating system in depth will allow project teams to advance the caliber of highperformance buildings. Design and development teams need to get in the weeds about LEEDv4 to have confidence in certifying a building under the new rating system and achieve the higher return on investment third-party verified performance provides. USGBC Texas Central Region is providing six sessions in Austin this year to provide the in-depth education the AEC and development community need to advance LEEDv4 projects across the state. The sessions will provide networking and in-depth credit-by-credit comparisons between LEED 2009 and LEEDv4 so teams gain confidence about certifying projects under the new system. In addition, attendance supports LEED professionals in maintaining their professional credentials through LEED-specific education. USGBC Texas Central Region is excited to provide an opportunity to learn how the specifics of LEEDv4 will influence design and sustainability. LEEDv4 and other competitive green building rating systems, standards, and codes will push the AEC and development community to create more efficient highperformance buildings that serve the community and the world. All sessions are being hosted at TreeHouse in Austin (4477 S Lamar Blvd #600, Austin, TX 78745) from 5:30 – 7:00 pm. The sessions start with networking, food, and beverages followed by the continuing education unit. Register online at: https://usgbctexas.wildapricot.org/events

Beyond the structural similarities, LEEDv4’s credit calculations are vastly different than LEED 2009’s in almost every case. Compliance is demonstrated through different metrics in many cases, including access to public transportation and community connectivity which historically were “lowhanging fruit” credits. At this point in time, most people in the AEC industry are familiar with the key differences between LEED 2009 and LEEDv4. Major changes in LEEDv4 include: 10

THE NETWORK | JUN2017

These sessions will dive into the nitty-gritty of what designing under this new rating system will mean, including: • Transportation Access. LEEDv4’s public transportation access credit counts the number of trips made by public transit infrastructure, whereas LEED 2009 counted the number of public transit lines. Projects that previously may not have qualified for any public transit points under LEED 2009 may be able to access a point under LEEDv4. • Covered Bicycle Parking. Under LEEDv4, both institutional and residential buildings require covered bicycle parking. Under the old system, only residential buildings had to meet this requirement. • Regional Materials. LEEDv4 does not offer points especially for sourcing materials from within 500 miles of a project as LEED 2009 did. Sourcing materials locally now allows project teams to double the value of local materials when performing building material optimization calculations.

On the other hand, you have different fingers.

The basics of LEED certification have stayed the same. The same number of total points exist within the system and only minor point shifts have occurred across credit categories. The biggest structural change to the system is the division of LEED 2009’s Sustainable Sites category into two in LEEDv4 - Location and Transportation and Sustainable Sites. The scope of the new LEEDv4 categories is comparable to LEED 2009’s single Sustainable Sites category but differentiates between criteria that are likely met prior to a project’s arrival on site (Location and Transportation) and criteria that a project itself is likely responsible for meeting (Sustainable Sites).

• Energy modeling baseline updated from ASHRAE90.1-2007 to ASHRAE 90.1-2010 • Increased scope of fixtures addressed by water efficiency credits, including lab equipment among other process fixtures; • Restructured Materials and Resources credits that push for transparency in manufacturing and multi-attribute sustainability in building products; • Increased synergies with LEED for Neighborhood Development and SITES; and • New metrics in daylighting to more accurately account for daily and annual variations.

m Sum

LEED 2009 is the most widely adopted green building rating system on the planet, and it follows that LEEDv4 is likely to command a similar percentage of market share for green building certifications. However, since LEED 2009 debuted, a number of other rating systems, standards, and codes have been established, including the Living Building Challenge, IgCC, and ASHRAE189.1. LEEDv4 walked into a much more crowded certification marketplace than LEED 2009 did. These sessions will discuss how LEEDv4 is being received by early and mid-range adopters to the sustainability movement as well as how later adopters are responding.

JUN2017 | THE NET WORK

desire to recognize design excellence, innovation, and construction quality with precast concrete resulted in the 2016 Best in Precast Awards. Precast concrete is a versatile and durable material that can be used in a wide range of projects and applications.

Highway Bridge - Dallas Horseshoe Project

Bexar Concrete Works, I Pegasus Link Constructors An $850 million reconstruction project of the I-30 and I-35E bridges that cross the Trinity River in Dallas, and the related downtown “Mixmaster” interchanges. Currently serving 450,000 vehicles every day, the project includes six major long-span bridges over the Trinity River, each of which required (at minimum) 250 foot spans to accommodate future river basin development. The project team selected, designed, fabricated and constructed variable-depth, continuous concrete spliced girders for these spans, made up of precast segments fabricated and partially stressed off-site. Precast elements were shipped to the site, erected on temporary shoring, joined and fully stressed in place to create (essentially) a monolithic construction of at least 1000 feet for all six bridges.

State Bridge - 7th St Bridge:

Sundt Construction, Texas Department of Transportation, Heldenfels Enterprises, Inc. Complete replacement of the aging West 7th St. Bridge in Fort Worth. Utilizing on-site construction with precast arches, prestressed/precast floor beams, prestressed/precast stay-in-place deck panels produced the world's first precast network arch bridge. This landmark is a gateway connecting the city's downtown with the cultural district and mixed use developments, providing improved pedestrian access and safety as well as a unique signature structure. Approximately 300,000 pounds of polished stainless steel within the arches and bridge superstructure are illuminated at night with embedded lighting.

Large Parking Garage - University of Houston Stadium Parking Garage

East Texas Precast, WHR Architects, Walker Parking Consultants, Vaughn Construction A 2000+ space parking for TDECU’s (University of Houston) football stadium. Primarily serving parking for the football stadium during the weekends, and students/faculty on weekdays, this project was designed to serve multiple purposes. The key design feature was the combination of two different architectural mixes that presented the patterns that the University wanted. The key accomplishment of this project was to complete the project installation in a very short time. East Texas Precast and Vaughn Construction chose to use two cranes to maximize the usage of time and achieve substantial completion during the summer session at the school.

Stadium - Kyle Field Redevelopment at Texas A&M University:

Manhattan Construction /Vaughn Joint Venture, Populous, Heldenfels Enterprises, Inc. Extensive redevelopment of Kyle Field constructed in two phases. Phase one included the new South End Zone Stands, as well as replacing the lower East Side Deck. Phase two replaced the entire West Side of the stadium. Stadium seating expanded from 82,600 to over 100,000, producing the largest stadium in both Texas and the Southeastern Conference and the third largest in the United States.

TEXAS OFFICE OCCUPIERS INFLUENCE HIGH NUMBERS IN

2016

According to national rankings presented by CBRE Research, Texas claimed two of the top 10 highest metros for absorption and annual rent growth in 2016. With a Texas-sized appetite for office space, Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW) and Austin landed at the top of national absorption totals, ranking first and eighth in 2016. Houston’s supply of sublease space, which could be described as big as the Lone Star State, ranked first in the nation for the highest available sublease volume at 11.1 million sq. ft.

5.28 3.53 3.22 2.55 1.91 1.81 1.76 1.74 1.72 1.67

DFW had the highest amount of office absorption of any U.S. metro at nearly 5.3 million sq. ft. With its diverse economy and attractive business environment, DFW has become a hot spot for large companies. Several major corporations, including State Farm, 7-Eleven, and Geico, relocated to DFW in 2016. In addition, DFW ranked third for annual rent growth, increasing 18.2%, driven by Class A CBD inventory within the Arts District.

Austin was not far behind, coming in as the eighth metro with the highest net absorption in the country. Tech expansions drove Austin’s high demand and climbing rents, and kept vacancies below 10% as local tech tenants and out-of-state firms expanded in the state capital. Austin also ranked eighth in lowest vacancy and fourth for highest annual rent growth in 2016.

Houston topped the list of metros with the highest amount of sublease availability. At 11.1 million sq. ft., Houston’s sublease market was more than double the size of Boston, which was the second highest market with sublease availability at 4.8 million sq. ft. To put it in perspective, Houston’s available sublease space was equivalent to the combined sublease total of Boston (2nd), Manhattan (3rd) and Washington, D.C. (4th) and more than five times the amount in DFW.

The Energy Capital of the World, which is more vulnerable to the volatility associated with crude oil commodity pricing, watched as sublet availability increased 167% since the oil crash in 2014. Occupiers in Houston have been able to find prime sublease space with long terms, which has resulted in aggressive rates from landlords.

JLL Oﬀice Insights Launching into 2017, the Dallas and Austin office markets stay on a promising path. For DFW, job gains amount to nearly 700,000 across all major industries since 2010—continuing to drive office demand and raise its profile for relocation. Construction is meeting demand and garners higher rates for new space, which is helping to drive rates for existing assets, too. Austin’s 34,000 job-gain secures it as one of the fastest growing metros in the U.S. With cranes on its horizon, 80% of projects under construction have already been preleased—spurring a momentous 11.5% year-over-year rental rate increase.

Dallas | OFFICE • • •

DFW is adding a diversity of jobs faster than other U.S. markets, which is driving office demand. High level of Q1 office absorption is being driven by lease-up in new deliveries. Vacancy is near the historic low point. Rental rate growth is being driven by high demand.

Our near-term outlook for Dallas is to continue on its same trajectory. As we see it, 2017 will be a solid year. Ofﬁce absorption will continue to outpace its historic average by a wide margin and probably come in around the 5-million square foot mark, due primarily to the delivery of large build-to-suits and other new projects that have been underway the last couple of years.

Dallas fundamentals point to continued solid performance through 2017

12 Month Forecast 514,005 s.f. ˑ

This quarter ﬁnally broke Austin’s improving vacancy streak largely due to the 900,000 square feet of new construction that delivered vacant. As tenants begin to move in to the new construction, vacancy should improve, but will likely not shift dramatically due to the remaining 1.3 million square feet projected to deliver throughout the remainder of the year, which is only 37 percent preleased.

YOU NEED TO KNOW

The 25th Amendment

Presidential Disability and Succession

rior to ratification of the 25th Amendment, the rules of succession to the presidency were vague. The Constitution didn’t specify whether the vice president would become president or acting president if the president were to die, resign, be removed from office or become disabled. The problem came into the spotlight after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. On January 6th, 1965, Senator Birch Bayh of Indiana and Representative Emanuel Celler of New York introduced joint resolutions in the Senate and House of Representatives aimed at clarifying and defining the rules of presidential succession and inability in the Constitution. These proposals formed the foundation of the 25th Amendment, approved by Congress on July 6, 1965; ratified by the states by February of 1967, and certified into law by President Lyndon Johnson on February 23, 1967. The first use of the 25th Amendment occurred in 1973 when President Richard Nixon nominated Congressman Gerald R. Ford of Michigan to fill the vacancy left by Vice President Spiro Agnew’s resignation. In less than a year, it was used again. This time, Vice President Ford who had become President after Nixon resigned, nominated Nelson Rockefeller to fill the Vice-Presidential vacancy left by him.

I don’t suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.

Make American Grapes Again

Today, in the wake of the election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th POTUS, there’s a lot of buzz about this amendment. It started before election day, to be sure, and though it wasn’t written to deal with a president who seems, to borrow a phrase, “barking mad,” Donald Trump does embody the reasons people are talking. He’s wildly unpredictable, if not outright unstable. He has extensively documented conflicts of interest out the wazoo. He shows no understanding of policy, and lord only knows about the Russia stuff. The list of possible justifications is long and growing. But we brought this on ourselves. Everything wrong with Trump the president was also wrong with Trump the candidate. Mike Pence, the cabinet members Trump has appointed, and the Republican Party would need to overwhelmingly back Trump’s removal. All have been willing to overlook Trump’s issues thus far… or they’ve signed up for them. Nothing short of unambiguous, raving madness or unmistakable scandal (of a higher order than the raving madness and scandal we’ve already seen) would move the party to admit they erred in bringing a dangerous, corrupt lunatic into the White House and trigger the political catastrophe that ditching Trump would ultimately result in. The 25th Amendment provision relies on a governing party willing to shoot itself in the foot for the good of the country. The intended purpose of the 25th amendment was to address the situation in which a president with a serious ailment is alive, but unable to fulfill the duties of the office. (Several first ladies – most notably Edith Wilson and Eleanor Roosevelt - served as de facto presidents during their husbands’ long illnesses.) And it does mean that Congress isn’t the only institution that can remove a president from office between elections. By virtue of Section 4 (see highlight below), a sitting vice president and a majority of the executive branch’s cabinet could, on their own, agree to transfer power out of the hands of a sitting president. At that point, those officials would notify Congress, and the vice president would assume the office as the acting president.

“You’re fired!” “Nuh-uh!”

If the president contests this move, it would be up to Congress to settle the matter. A two-thirds majority in both houses would be necessary to keep the vice president in charge; failing that, the president would resume his power. Of course, this is not a likely scenario that Mike Pence and half of the administration’s cabinet (a group who owe their jobs to the president whose stability has been called into question) would challenge the president and effectively stage a coup…but the law does exist, and that possibility has created hope among Trump’s detractors.

The 25th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States

Section 1 • In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President. Section 2 • Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress. Section 3 • Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.

Section 4 • Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. As Olbermann correctly notes, the 25th Amendment offers no specifics on exactly what kind of inability would warrant removal. Although the amendment is typically referred to as a way to replace deeply infirm or perhaps insane presidents, a president could presumably be removed for any reason relevant to their ability to perform the job advanced by the vice president and Cabinet. But if Mike Pence and Trump’s cabinet were able to rally their party around the idea of removing Trump from office for the sake of the country, they could potentially sideline him for his entire term, with Pence stepping in as acting president, and Trump having little recourse. It’s extremely unlikely to happen, but it’s there - waiting for someone to try it.
