Working much like toilets, the pipelines are supposed to "flush" a slurry mixture of water and pulverized coal from mine to market. When the blend gets to its destination, usually an electric utility plant, the coal is separated from the water by filter or centrifuge and used to heat boilers. The water is used to cool the plant...
...rural mural program has brought praise from all sides. Kenneth Ray, assistant art professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, likens the paintings to "an outdoor museum." Governor Patrick Lucey sees the inspiration for "other projects that blend art with life." The kids are delighted, of course.

Ten years ago, Iggy and his Ann Arbor band, the Stooges, launched their careers and the genre of punk rock with a blend of nihilism and unheard-of histrionics. Iggy vomited on stage, stabbed himself with pencils, burned his skin with hot wax, flung himself onto broken glass and even leaped off the stage to harass the audience physically. Like a modern Dadaist, Iggy's style was confrontation, and his musical and theatrical lead inspired...
