Brooklyn Apartments to Generate Their Own Power

nytimes.com — AS the standards for environmentally friendly construction rise, a Brooklyn developer has a new goal: renovate an apartment building so it generates as much energy as it uses. When the developer, Voltaic Solaire, finishes a $1 million rehabilitation of a 19th-century brownstone at 367 Fifth Avenue in Park Slope next year, the facade will be covered with a solar skin and a solar awning will sit on the roof.

Signs of Shift Among African-Americans on Same-Sex Marriage

fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com — President Obama's self-described "evolution" on same-sex marriage - from opponent to proponent - appears to be catalyzing a similar shift among some of his most loyal supporters, African-Americans. Although evidence for such a shift is preliminary - there are just a few data points and a number of caveats - Mr. Obama's announcement may have accelerated the acceptance of gay marriage among blacks.
