Turkey very much Google minded
The Turkish government might want 32 million euros from Google for tax reasons, it doesn't stop the Turks from using Google. Comscore numbers show that Google sites were the most visited sites in Turkey in September 2009.
The 18.4 million stand for a reach of 93% of the online population. It might then look as if Google was the only site used, but that is far from the truth. Microsoft sites still reached 89% of all internet users and Facebook is growing also in Turkey. They reached 81.3%, which stands for 16.1 million visitors.
The Turks don't just use foreign websites. Seven of the top visited media is Turkish based. Amongst these properties are Turkish sites like Milliyet Group (8.8 million visitors), Mynet A.S. (8.3 million visitors) and Blogcu.com (8.2 million visitors).
Facebook is the most popular social network in Turkey. The social media giant took up 16 million visitors who in total spent over 5 million minutes on the site. They accounted for 92 percent of the total time spent on social networking sites during the month of September.
Turkey is a country which should not be underestimated when it comes to online usage says Jack Flanagan, EVP of comScore World Metrix:
"The Internet audience in Turkey is one of the most active and engaged audiences in the world. Internet users spend on average more than one hour a day online, ranking it among the five most engaged online populations worldwide. Although global Internet brands like Google, Microsoft and Facebook are among the most visited in Turkey, there is also a vibrant community of home-grown Web properties like Dogan Online and Milliyet Group. Turkey is clearly a market with exciting potential."

text: Americans believe they will receive better services in a "hospital" than in a "medical center," according to a phone survey conducted by two local consulting firms. More than 1,000 people were asked four questions about whether they believed they would have better outcomes in a hospital or medical center during the survey conducted by Rivkin & Associates LLC and Bauman Research & Consulting LLC, both based in Glen Rock.When asked "which would have a wider range of services," 61% said a hospital and 31% chose a medical center. Six percent said there would be no difference, and 2% didn't know or refused to answer. Fifty-two percent said a hospital provides "patients with better quality medical care" while 32% said a medical center. Twelve percent thought the care would be the same; 4% weren't sure. Asked "which would be on the cutting edge of medicine, using the most up-to-date technologies and procedures," 53% chose a hospital while 37% picked a medical center. Just 8% thought there would be no difference.

A team plagued with inconsistencies and adversity gave everything it could against the Big Ten's best, the Michigan Wolverines. But when Glenn Robinson III banked the game-winner high off the glass and grazing in from the side of the rim, heartbreak hit the home team.
Michigan 76, Purdue 75. Just one shot and one point short.
Inches made the difference in a closely-contested game. There were two Kendall Stephens shots that rolled around and off the rim. The cross-court inbounds pass from Caris LeVert to Robinson nearly soared beyond the 6-foot-6 forward's outstretched arms. And when Robinson placed it high off the backboard, it teased rolling off before falling in.
"The ball was rolling around on the rim," Robinson said. "I was just praying it would go down."
Added Purdue point guard Ronnie Johnson: "It was heartbreaking."
The Boilermakers pulled their margin to as many as 19 points in the first half, and led by 13 at halftime after Ronnie Johnson beat the buzzer with a jumper. Even with less than 20 seconds on the clock and Kendall Stephens holding the ball, waiting for a foul, it seemed as if Purdue was on its way to victory.
Breaks just weren't going the Boilermakers' way in the home stretch. The bounces off the home rim weren't kind on Wednesday night. An upset that would've shook up the Big Ten standings slipped away from Purdue.
"It's just a humbling experience," said Terone Johnson, who tallied a season-high 22 points. "We thought we had the game in our hands down in the stretch.
For a hard-working freshman like Stephens who prides himself on perfection, the missed free throw—Purdue's only miss from the charity stripe all game—is one that will haunt him.
"He'll make the next one," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "It's part of the game. There are a lot of really good players that have been in that situation and missed them. Those ones make you a better player."
This is a Michigan team that has been tested, finding itself in first place of the ultra-competitive Big Ten, that following an appearance in the 2013 championship game. The Wolverines have won in various fashions throughout another promising season.
Coach John Beilein knew how easily this victory could've gone to Purdue.
"We just had the breaks down the stretch that we needed," he said.
A weary showing wouldn't have been a surprise from a Purdue squad coming off a drubbing in Lincoln, one which saw two key players—Sterling Carter and Jay Simpson—go down to injury.
Factor in Rapheal Davis's postgame comments from Sunday, saying the Boilers have been lacking in effort, and a hard-fought game from the depleted Purdue may have been hard to predict. The fight was most certainly there, but the luck wasn't.
"There are no moral victories, but we came out and played hard—to the best of our abilities," Terone Johnson said.
That just makes the heartbreak hurt even more.

For a while, it seemed that everything had vacated the premises at Fenway Park. The buzz, the fans, the players — everything was gone.
Though the Red Sox had mounted a hard, late-inning charge in their effort to erase a six-run deficit, they came up just short. The team plated five in the eighth, then stranded the tying and go-ahead runs when Kevin Youkilis was frozen by a fastball from Blue Jays closer Jason Frasor, the final out of Boston's 8-7 loss. (Recap.)
And so, the Sox did not have a chance to celebrate with their fans, who filed for the exits. The players soon followed, though they recognized that their night might not yet be over.
"Don't forget my goggles," slugger David Ortiz shouted to a clubhouse attendant on his way out the door.
It was an odd confluence of circumstances. The Sox had lost, continuing a trend of poor baseball. The team's losing streak had stretched to five games, the second-longest skid of the year. Over the course of nine games against the Royals, Yankees and Blue Jays, the Sox had dropped seven contests.
Nonetheless, there was the sense of anticipation and possibility. Thanks to the Rangers' futility in recent weeks, the Sox found themselves with a magic number of just 1, and so even though the team had failed to punch its own ticket to the postseason with a victory on Tuesday, the possibility of a party remained thanks to the potential for a Texas loss in Anaheim against the Angels.
But because the game was on the West Coast, there would have to be a wait. Victor Martinez suggested that he was going home, perhaps to sleep. Dustin Pedroia left the park to put his newborn son to bed. Jason Bay stepped away to grab a drink with his agent. Several other players went to their nearby homes to monitor the Rangers-Angels tilt.
As the game progressed, and the Rangers showed little life, the players trickled back. And when, at 12:50 a.m., Rangers first baseman Hank Blalock was caught looking for a game-ending strikeout, one small section in an otherwise dark and nearly empty Fenway Park celebrated unapologetically.
Obviously, the team would have loved to have taken the final step to the postseason under its own power, and at a time when the joy could have spilled from the clubhouse onto the field and into the stands, with tens of thousands of fans.
Even so, the Sox were not about to seek anyone's permission to rejoice after having worked so hard to win 91 games and earn a sixth trip to the postseason in seven years. After fulfilling the relentless expectations of its fan base, the team felt that it had earned the right to enjoy the fruits of its accomplishments, no matter the path to the postseason.
"It's a little different because we didn't do it on the field, but I don't think that takes away the joy we have. It's still a great accomplishment for us," third baseman Mike Lowell said. "Not every team gets to go to the playoffs, and I know my first five years in the big leagues I was home right after the last day of the season, so any time I have to celebrate a great team accomplishment, I think we should."
And so, the Sox enjoyed a moment to themselves, without intruders. The clubhouse celebration remained closed to all but the team's employees, with the concession made of a few appearances by players who popped out of the clubhouse door and addressed the couple of dozen members of the media in the otherwise-empty Fenway Park concourse.
It was a different sort of celebration than any that the club had enjoyed before. But then, it was a different sort of entry into the postseason than ever before, and a reminder that change has been a common denominator in the team's perennial postseason appearances.
Perhaps, after the Sox had taken five days to trim the final three days off their magic number, there was as much a sense of relief as there was of exuberance. Even so, in this town, especially, there is no such thing as an easy ride to the postseason. That being the case, even though its advance came on a night of defeat, the Sox felt no need to subdue their festivities.
It did not matter to the club that its postseason spot was secured on the night of a loss. Nor was it material that the team had entered as the wild card instead of the division champion. A clubhouse filled with players who have been to the postseason before understood that the opportunities to enjoy the fulfillment of a preseason goal are too precious to ignore.
"You play an entire season, spring training included, to get to this point. One night, you get to throw champagne around and have a little bit of fun," Bay said. "I think that everyone is entitled to that."
Here are four other things that we learned in the hours leading up to the after-midnight celebration at Fenway Park:
Before his team played the Red Sox on Tuesday night, Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston was asked to reflect on both Roy Halladay and Clay Buchholz.
The two will be linked for some time, thanks to the fact that the Sox offered Buchholz as the centerpiece of a prospect-rich package that they put on the table in an effort to acquire Toronto's ace at this year's trade deadline. That being the case, it had been somewhat fascinating to monitor the performances of both pitchers since the deadline.
In 11 starts, Halladay had been tremendous, forging a 3.29 ERA but — in an act of betrayal by his offense — forging a record of just 5-6.
Buchholz, meanwhile, had been even better, going 6-2 with a 3.12 ERA in his 11 starts (albeit while averaging roughly one run fewer per start). Moreover, against the Blue Jays this year, Buchholz had made like Bob Gibson, going 3-0 with a 1.35 in three starts.
And so, having seen Buchholz at his best, Gaston was asked to take stock of the 25-year-old right-hander.
"He's got a good arm," Gaston said. "He's got a way to go before he'll be Doc, but he's still got a good arm."
A couple hours later, as good as Buchholz had been, there was another reminder that he does not yet belong among the American League's elite, this one occurring on the mound.
The Jays slammed Buchholz for seven runs (matching a season high) in five innings to deal the pitcher his first loss since Aug. 13, an eight-start run in which the right-hander was 6-0 with a 2.44 ERA. After yielding just one homer in his prior six starts, Buchholz allowed a stunning five long balls on Tuesday. The run-down on those blasts:
So: two homers on early count fastballs, and three on late-count change-ups. The Blue Jays appeared to follow a blueprint in their fourth game against Buchholz, and they unloaded on his offspeed offerings with two strikes.
"They've faced him quite a few times this year. I thought they were sitting soft, especially late in the count. They got some change-ups up," Sox manager Terry Francona said. "I thought they did a good job of picking out one speed with Buc and he was elevating a little bit and they hit it a long way."
Buchholz threw 20 pitches with two strikes. Of those:
In other words, when Buchholz threw hard stuff (fastballs and sliders) in two-strike counts, the Jays primarily took the pitches. When they swung, they either missed or made poor contact.
When he threw offspeed pitches, namely his Bugs Bunny changeup and curve, Toronto swung at all but one pitch, and typically made hard contact.
"I felt like I did a pretty good job with the majority of the guys getting ahead in the count and two-strike counts. The execution of the two-strike pitches weren't near as sharp as they needed to be," Buchholz said. "Obviously, they had a game plan and they stuck to it and they beat me tonight.
"The home runs, or a couple at least, they were sitting soft with two strikes. All year I've been throwing my changeups with two strikes to get outs with. Even though a couple of them were in decent locations, they sat back on it. They did a good job of following their game plan and sticking to it."
Of course, such a claim represents a potential danger with the playoffs soon at hand. Postseason opponents zero in on such vulnerabilities, and typically do a tremendous job focusing on a pitcher's vulnerabilities.
That being the case, with Buchholz representing an almost-certain member of the postseason rotation, he will have to counteract the tactic. He has the tools to do so, namely the ability to change his pitching patterns by leaving opponents guessing as to what pitch will be thrown in what count, and by executing his breaking stuff so it disappears on two-strike counts, rather than staying thigh-high.
"When you throw up in the zone and pretty much in the middle, I think anybody can hit those kind of pitches, even with the stuff Clay has," catcher Victor Martinez said. "I think it was one of those days he didn't have his best stuff and they really made him pay."
"There are other teams who have sat on [Buchholz' slow stuff], too," Francona added. "His change-up's so good they don't hit it. It's just the ball was elevated a little bit [on Tuesday]."
Tim Wakefield, Jon Lester and Josh Beckett all appear set to make their scheduled starts during the next turn of the rotation.
Wakefield went so far as to head down to the bullpen on Monday night, when starter Michael Bowden was getting hammered in the early innings. The knuckleballer will take the ball for the first time since Sept. 21 to close out the series.
Lester experienced "no repercussions from throwing," according to Francona, and so he is in line to make the start for the series-opener against the Indians, a development that seems almost miraculous given the force of the line drive off the side of his right knee last Friday. Finally, after Daisuke Matsuzaka pitches on Friday, Beckett will make his final start of the regular season on Saturday.
Beckett proclaimed himself "80 percent" better on Tuesday than he was on Monday, when spasms in his upper back forced him to get scratched from his scheduled start. The right-hander said that he would be capable of making a start if needed in the coming days, but that he will instead wait for his next scheduled turn on Saturday in order to keep the rotation aligned for the postseason.
He attributed the discomfort to "three crappy beds on the road and getting in [after traveling] at 5 in the morning." That being the case, the right-hander thought that the condition was anything to be worried about as he heads toward the playoffs.
"Absolutely, I think I'll make my next start. I don't think we're going to need this, but I could go sooner if I needed to than Saturday. But I think right now, we're kind of looking at Saturday to set things up [for the playoffs]," Beckett said. "It was just something that you wake up with. It wasn't like I felt anything when I was throwing. You wake up and you're locked up."
Beckett told WBZ-TV that he received three cortisone injections in his back to control the discomfort, but the pitcher also said that he didn't foresee the issue being a chronic one.
Of course, the right-hander might be able to avoid the issue in the future if he simply paid homage to a literary immortal by traveling with his own bed.
Quietly, J.D. Drew is hammering the ball on his way to the regular season's finish line. He's hitting .338 with a .438 OBP (sixth in the AL) and .603 slugging mark (fifth) in the month of September.
He continued his recent torrid pace on Tuesday, going 3-for-4 and propelling the Sox back into the game with a three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth that brought Boston within a run. Thanks to his recent run, Drew is hitting .276 with a .391 OBP and .508 slugging mark.
His .898 OPS ranks second among AL outfielders (behind only teammate Jason Bay). He also has set Red Sox career highs with 22 homers and 66 runs batted in.
"All night he took good, aggressive swings," Francona said. "When he puts good swings on the ball it's as pretty as you'll ever see."
The Red Sox were surging back into the game, looking for a way to take care of their own business.
The team had been knocked down and back almost as soon as the game had started, with Clay Buchholz allowing four runs in the first inning — more total runs than he'd given up in any of his previous six starts. But down by an 8-2 count in the bottom of the eighth, the team suddenly exploded.
With two outs, the team plated five runs, starting with a run-scoring double by Kevin Youkilis, followed by a David Ortiz run-scoring double, then a Jason Bay walk and, finally, a J.D. Drew three-run blast.
That Youkilis had delivered a big two-out hit came as no surprise. With runners in scoring position and two outs, after all, he entered the day hitting .373 (fourth best in the AL) with a .519 OBP (third), .644 slugging (fifth) and 1.164 OPS (third).
Given that success rate, the Sox were no doubt thrilled when Youkilis returned to the plate in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, Jacoby Ellsbury on second and pinch-runner Joey Gathright behind him on first. Simply put, the team has no better options for such a moment.
But somewhat shockingly, Youkilis was frozen by a Jason Frasor fastball of all pitches. Frasor's 94 mph full-count fastball painted the outside edge of the plate for a game-ending called strikeouts.
Eight previous times, Youkilis had struck out to end a game. But never before had the corner infielder been caught looking in such a moment.
And so, the Sox absorbed their one-run loss to the Blue Jays, resulting in the team's wait to celebrate. All the same, a bit more than two hours after that game-ending punch-out, that moment was surely forgotten.
"I know it wasn't the ideal thing and you'd probably much rather do it on the field after a victory, but, you know, we battled hard all year to get to this point. I don't care how it comes," Mike Lowell said. "We deserve to celebrate just like the other teams that have made the playoffs. We're excited to be here. This is hopefully Step 1. I think we've got our team where we want it to be and we're excited."

He had difficulty in breathing and was given oxygen. Then uraemia-and the end. Chvostek was summoned. Mahler lay with dazed eyes: one finger was conducting on the quilt. There was a smile on his lips and twice he said: "Mozart!" His eyes were very big. I begged Chvostek to give him a large dose of morphia so that he might feel nothing more. He replied in a loud voice. I seized his hands: "Talk softly, he might hear you."-"He hears nothing now."

No architect played a greater role in shaping the twentieth century Manhattan skyline than Ralph Thomas Walker, winner of the 1957 AIA Centennial Gold Medal and a man once dubbed "Architect of the Century" by the New York Times. [1] But a late-career ethics scandal involving allegations of stolen contracts by a member of his firm precipitated his retreat from the architecture establishment and his descent into relative obscurity. Only recently has his prolific career been popularly reexamined, spurred by a new monograph and a high-profile exhibit of his work at the eponymous Walker Tower in New York in 2012.
8 Influential Art Deco Skyscrapers by Ralph Thomas Walker
Pratt Institute to Host 2 Free Symposiums in April
Pratt Institute is presenting two architectural symposiums that are free and open to the public: "An Inventory of What's Possible" on April 10 and "The Language of Architecture and Trauma" on April 11, 2015. "An Inventory of What's Possible" will focuse on the history of America's affordable housing emerging from the research, architectural prototypes, and financing that occurred in New York, as well as the city's future potential in response to Mayor de Blasio's housing plan.
Álvaro Siza to Design 122-Meter Condo Tower in New York
Álvaro Siza has been commissioned to design his first ever US project. Planned to rise 122-meters on the corner of West 56th Street and Eleventh Avenue in New York City, the Siza - designed condominium tower will be developed by Sumaida and Khurana - the same firm who just released designs for Tadao Ando's first New York City tower: 152 Elizabeth Street. Stay tuned for more details.
First Look Inside BIG's W57 Manhattan Pyramid
Field Condition has published a photographic tour through BIG's first New York project, two months after W57 topped out. A "courtscraper," as the Danish practice affectionately calls it, the 32-story, 709-unit tower is a hybrid of the European courtyard block and New York City skyscraper. It's tetrahedral shape, "born from logic," is designed to provide every resident in the building's North Tower to have views of the Hudson River, while allowing sunlight deep into the building's interior space. View the project from within, after the break.
Images Released of Tadao Ando's First NYC Building
Tadao Ando has unveiled his first New York building. An "ultra-luxury" condominium project known as 152 Elizabeth Street, the 32,000-square-foot building will replace an existing parking lot with a concrete structure comprised of seven residences - all of which will be "treated as custom homes" and "individually configured."
"Part concrete, part jewel box, the building makes a strong yet quiet statement with a façade comprised of voluminous glass, galvanized steel and flanked by poured in-place concrete and a living green wall that rises the height of the building," says the architects. The green wall, measuring 55-feet-high and 99-feet-wide and spanning the entire southern façade, is expected to be one of the largest in New York and will be designed by landscaping firm M. Paul Friedberg and Partners.
Never Built New York: Projects From Gaudí, Gehry and Wright that Didn't Make it in Manhattan
Ever since its unprecedented skyward growth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Manhattan has been an icon of construction all over the world, with recent estimates concluding that the island contains some 47,000 buildings. However, as with all construction, completed projects are just the tip of the architectural iceberg; Manhattan is also the home of many thousands of unloved, incomplete, and downright impossible proposals that never made it big in the Big Apple.
Of course, the challenges of New York are indiscriminate, and even world-renowned architects often have difficulties building in the city. After the break, we take a look at just three of these proposals, by Antoni Gaudí, Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank Gehry, courtesy of 6sqft.
Perkins+Will's "Sleek" Manhattan Tower to Feature Five Open-Air Gardens
Conceptual plans of Perkins+Will's East 37th Street Residential Tower in New York City have been unveiled. Debuted in Cannes, France, during MIPIM, where the high-rise received a "Future Projects Award," the 700-foot-tall Manhattan tower boasts a "shimmering, angled curtain wall" organized by five clusters of shared amenities and open-air gardens.
More about the 65-story, 150,000-square-foot condominium tower, after the break.
6 Takeaways From NYMag's Article On Calatrava's $4 Billion WTC Station
Ask any person involved in the construction of Santiago Calatrava's World Trade Center Transportation Hub, and they will probably admit that the world's most expensive train station has not been a PR success. In fact things have gotten so bad that a recent article by Andrew Rice for New York Magazine describes the gradual opening of the building later this year as coming "at long last and great cost, to both the government and his reputation," adding that "a decade ago, Calatrava would have made any short list of the world's most esteemed architects. Today, many within the profession are aghast at what they see as his irresponsibility."
But, unlike much of the press coverage that has greeted Calatrava in recent years, the New York Magazine article is much more forgiving, taking the time to investigate the twists and turns of the project's controversial 12-year history and offering the architect the opportunity to give his side of the story. Read on after the break for a breakdown of six takeaways from the article.
Stereotank's HeartBeat Transformed into Times Square HeartSeat
Stereotank's HeartBeat filled the air in Times Square this past Valentine's Day. Now that the love season is over, the Brooklyn-based practice has turned their clever installation into a welcoming "HeartSeat" by simply opening up their heart-shaped sculpture to the public and transforming it into a bench. The installation will remain on view through Sunday, March 8th. See a video of HeartSeat, after the break.
Win a Copy of Massimo Vignelli's Limited-Edition 2012 New York City Subway Diagram
UPDATE: Congratulations to Colin from Philadelphia and Guillaume from France - you've been randomly selected as the winners! Thank you everyone for participating.
SuperWarmRed Designs has offered our readers a chance to win Massimo Vignelli's limited-edition (unsigned) MTA New York City Subway Diagram. Designed in 2012 by Vignelli, in collaboration with Vignelli Associates Beatriz Cifuentes and Yoshiki Waterhouse, the diagram is the first Vignelli subway map to be printed by the MTA since the 1970s and is slated to be made part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection this year.
Using concepts from Vignelli's iconic Subway Map design of 1972, the new diagram was informed by satellite data and rebuilt for greater clarity and legibility. Revised to reflect the current subway system, colors and nomenclature, the poster has been printed in vivid Pantone and Hexachrome inks on acid-free archival cover-weight paper.
SuperWarmRed has agreed to giveaway one 36" x 45" Subway Diagram and one 16" x 24" Subway Diagram Detail Series. Read on after the break for the official rules.
North America's Radiant City: Le Corbusier's Impact on New York
Despite his status, Le Corbusier never had the opportunity to build in New York - in fact he only had one chance to build in the United States at all, completing Harvard's Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts in Cambridge in 1963. But this doesn't mean his influence isn't visible all over the Big Apple. Originally published on 6sqft as "Towers in the Park: Le Corbusier's Influence in NYC," this article takes a look at three examples where Le Corbusier's "Radiant City" ideals were transplanted to New York.
Even before taking his first trip to New York in 1935, Le Corbusier described the city as "utterly devoid of harmony." After seeing it in person, his feelings didn't soften. He wasn't impressed by the tall towers, rather stating that they were the product of an inferiority complex, and he thought the city's leaders were too timid to hire him. He wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times saying that "American skyscrapers have not attained the rank of architecture; rather, they are merely small objects such as statuettes or knick-knacks, magnified to titanic proportions." He thought the city would benefit from buildings that "don't try to outdo each other but are all identical."
Animated Film Envisions BIG's Manhattan "Dry Line"
A vision to protect post-Sandy Manhattan against future superstorms, Bjarke Ingels Group's (BIG) "Dry Line" seeks to form a continuous storm barrier around lower Manhattan by transforming underutilized waterfront spaces into a "protective ribbon" of public parks and amenities. Though ambitious, the project is not impossible; it was one of six winners in the US' Rebuild by Design competition that is envisioning ways New York can protect its edge.
Stereotank's HeartBeat Fills the Air in Times Square
New York City is celebrating the opening of its seventh annual Valentine's Day installation in Times Square. As part of Times Square Alliance's heart design competition, Brooklyn-based, Venezuelan-born firm Stereotank has constructed their heart-beating urban drum in hopes to bring New Yorkers together through music.
OMA Tapped to Design New York High Line's Latest Project
New York developer Related Companies has reportedly commissioned OMA to design their newest High Line project on West 18th Street. The Rotterdam-based practice is the latest to join a list of internationally acclaimed architects who will be leaving their mark on the elevated Manhattan parkway, including Zaha Hadid who also was tapped by Related Companies to design an 11-story, luxury apartment project on 520 W. 28th Street. Few details have been released; the commission will be OMA's first major project in New York City. They will be working on the project alongside practice's comprehensive "Rebuild by Design" strategy for Hoboken.
How Americans Get to Work
In the US, most people drive alone to work. This isn't surprising, considering car culture has been a staple of American life since the end of World War II. However, with the potential of high speed rails making way in California and the push for public transit in many other states, it will be interesting to see how this map may (or may not) change over the next decade.
Inequality and Informality in New York: SITU Studio's Proposal for MoMA's Uneven Growth Exhibition
When it comes to discussing informal housing, it's usually cities in developing nations that take the spotlight - however, as revealed by SITU Studio's contribution to MoMA's Uneven Growth exhibition, issues of informal housing are indeed present in cities across the spectrum of development. In this interview, originally posted on Arup Connect as "Inequality and informality in New York," Sarah Wesseler speaks to SITU Studio principle Bradley Samuels about their unconventional proposal to address an issue that is frequently overlooked in New York city policy.
Uneven Growth: Tactical Urbanisms for Expanding Megacities, a newly opened exhibit at New York's Museum of Modern Art, focuses on the complex relationship between urbanization and inequality. Over the 14-month period leading up to the launch, six interdisciplinary teams explored how these issues are playing out in different parts of the world, each developing an architectural response for a specific city.
Architecture firm SITU Studio (together with Cohabitation Strategies [CohStra]) was tasked with studying its home city, New York. (Arup transport planner Michael Amabile also consulted with the team.) We spoke with SITU principal Bradley Samuels about the project.
Work on 432 Park Avenue Ceases Briefly Due to Falling Construction Debris
As uncovered by Curbed, construction workers at Rafael Viñoly's 1,396 foot (426 meter) tall 432 Park Avenue were served with a full stop work order last week by the New York City Department of Buildings, after an 8 foot (2.4 meter) long section of steel pipework was dropped from a construction hoist on the building's 81st floor.
Norman Foster Revisits New York's Hearst Tower With Drones
To mark the 10th anniversary of the topping out of New York City's Hearst Tower, Lord Foster returned in order to narrate a short film shedding new light on the building with the aid of camera drones. The 46 storey building - which is integrated into a 6 storey base brick structure designed by Joseph Urban in 1928 - was "one of the most sustainable buildings of its time." Now, ten years later, this footage captures spectacular new views of the main atrium.

Question about Supplementing
Comments (9)
Pump more. If the issue is that you can't take care of LO well while pumping, this technique can really help:
hands free pump bra
boppy or similar pillow
a few toys
couch or comfortable spot on the floor
baby's bottle
1. Hook yourself into the pump with your hands free device (either bought or home made)
2. Place baby next to you on the floor or couch in the boppy, so he's supported upright
3. Turn on the pump
4. Bottle feed baby
5. When baby finishes his bottle, entertain him with the toys, talking, singing, etc. Most babies are fairly content for awhile after eating
This should allow you to pump every time baby is eating or sleeping when you're home alone. I found it critical to exclusively pumping with my DS.
Expat work from home mama to
DS (4/10) didn't BF until 3 months old
DD (4/12) born in the car
m/cs 12/08, 3/09 & 8/11
Have you kept trying to get him to latch on or do you have any desire to get him back to the breast? I had to exclusively pump and bottle feed for a while because he couldnt latch due to tongue tie but after we got it clipped, and after learning new positions to hold him, he learned how to latch on correctly and now hes a pro!... As long as youre still producing its never too late to breastfeed, especally since as they get bigger their mouths also get bigger making it easier to latch.. For us it was worth it and I wish you luck!!

Bill Maher Calls Out UW-Madison's Cruel Experiments on Cats—Literally
Bill Maher has given the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW) a wake-up call—literally. The host of HBO's Real Time recorded a message on PETA's behalf that was auto-dialed today to every member of UW's staff, faculty, and student body as well as to UW's Board of Regents and residents living near the school's campus.
"On this very campus, dozens of live cats have holes drilled into their skulls, steel posts screwed to their heads, and metal coils implanted in their eyes," Maher said. "Some cats have had their ears cut off. Others are intentionally deafened. … It strikes me that it's not the cats who need their heads examined …. I'm calling on you to join me in helping to end this abuse."
Prompted by a PETA complaint, a National Institutes of Health (NIH) report released just last week confirmed PETA's allegations that UW failed to take adequate steps to avoid the cats' infected, open head wounds and to treat them and that UW's justification for the use of cats and the number of cats used was inadequate. NIH took the exceptionally rare step of ordering UW to suspend the experiments for nearly six months while major changes were implemented. The NIH findings echo a separate report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in February, also prompted by a PETA complaint, which found rampant infections among the cats used in these experiments. Some infections were so severe that they resulted in the removal of one cat's eye and the euthanasia of several cats.
What You Can Do
Please join Bill Maher in urging UW to put an immediate, permanent halt to these cruel experiments.
Commenting is closed.
Using animals this way is barbaric – this type of human behaviour towards animals represents how uncivilized and ignorant we are as a species . Animals are innocent – this torture makes me sick..
This is insane. Stop abusing these poor animals, and put an end to these "experiments."
These experiments barbaric and outrageous! Stop the cruelty!
For the first time in more than 40 years, I'm embarrassed to be an alumnus of UW-Madison.
Cats are pets, they are not lab animals….torturing pets is against the law, stop torturing these animals. Find something worthwhile to do.
There's no reason for this kind of treatment to any animal. Let's let everyone at UW know how we feel.
Did not even watch video's as just what was written sickened me. Where is the Humane Society on this one !?! Years ago, seen a documentary of a lab test on a baboon. With no sedatives or anything, they put a vice grip on it's head, then crushed the skull, with a release spring. I heard that poor animals screams of pain and horror for years, when lest expecting it. It would literally have me running for a pillow to cover my head and try to subdue the sudden migraine attack I'd be hit with. Yes, they wanted to learn how to piece a human skull back together after a severe head fracture, but I sincerely believe they have experimented on our creature from the animal kingdom, long enough. If they haven't collected enough data / recordings / videos on their mad scientist experiments, to share with students that will be entering the medical field, then too fricking bad ! Let the animals be released from their cages when these idiots are in there alone, letting them have their revenge on the insane egotistical hard heart insensitive people wearing lab coats. Justice is served when served cold …
The stupid excuse for this all of the time, is, that it is in interest of medicine and science! Well if you can create an ear on a 3D printer and let it grow in a culture solution and then implant it on a human that's pretty damned advanced science. There must be a better way to do research than using live animals! 🙁
I saw a cat with a machine in his brain The man who fed him said he didn't feel any pain I'd like to see that man take out that machine And stick it in his own brain, you know what I mean I saw a rabbit with its eyes full of tears The lab that owned her had been doing it for years Why don't we make them pay for every last eye? That couldn't cry its own tears, do you know what I mean? When I tell you that we'll all be looking for changes Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures And we will learn how to grow (Learn how to grow) Well, I tell you that we'll all be looking for changes Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures And we will learn how to grow, yeah When we're looking for changes I saw a monkey that was learning to choke A guy beside him gave him cigarettes to smoke And everytime that monkey started to cough The bastard laughed his head off, do you know what I mean? When I tell you that we'll all be looking for changes Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures And we will learn how to grow when we're looking for changes We're looking for changes, we're looking for changes We're looking for changes in the way we are (Paul McCartney)
Please read the New York Times Article, Sunday, October 6, 2012 about scanning with fMRI dogs. The dogs were trained to lie still during the process. They found out the same places showing emotion in humans were synonymous with the brain of a dog. Possibly cats also? So cats and dogs my have emotional feelings just like humans. I am all for experimentation for new surgeries and drugs but lets be a bit kinder and live in peace with all species. One day, we may learn to live with other humans.
Please stop this cruelty to these innocent animals immediately!!!
This is so wrong on so many levels, this must stop!!
This is sickening. Are there not laws in place to stop this kind of thing? If there are not then there should be. This is just so wrong for so many reasons. I don't think I'm going to sleep at all tonight. How can these people that do this look at thier children in the eyes?
Animals are not for experimenting!!! Please stop this horrible cruelty now!
Why don't you all give them a quick phone call and let the college know how you feel? They may be able to ignore a petition, but it's awfully hard to avoid tied up phone lines from angry callers. 608-263-2400
Horrible…please stop hurting these poor helpless animals.
I cried my eyes out after watching that footage. How can any human be so cruel to such a poor defenceless and beautiful animal?! How can anyone who does this call themselves a human being? How do they sleep at night. It is totally beyond me. There are alternative options which can be used. Why do they even give these cats a name? By naming them, its almost like they care. Which they most certainly do not. They may aswell name them 'Experiment 1' or whatever. The insensitive bastards. Those people dont deserve a life. I would rather no cure for brain tumours, cancer, or any disease, if it means animals have to suffer. And if we all die of a brain tumour then so be it. I dont give a fuck. As long as no suffering is endured to cats, or any animal, who did no wrong to anyone.
These appalling, despicable experiments must stop now!
"Animals are NOT OURS to EAT, WEAR, EXPERIMENT ON OR USE FOR ENTERTAINMENT" STOP THIS CRUELTY AGAINST LIVING AND FEELING BEINGS! The word "being humane" CANNOT come from the word "human"….because human's are anything but HUMANE!
Is there a live protest in Madison? I would like to go.
Disgusting and thoughtless!!!
What kind of results are they hoping for by conducting such heinous experiments on felines? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING??!! STOP THIS EXPERIMENTING NOW!
There is no reason or excuse in the world that justifies THIS? WHAT is the matter with you people? STOP. HURTING. HELPLESS. ANIMALS. YOU are the ANIMALS- for thinking that this is OK for ANY reason. EVER. It's wrong on so many levels
Shame on UW-Madison
shame on you, as a native Mad-city cat lover I am disturbed by this
Stop this cruel, inhumane treatment of cats! There is no logical reason for this! Do you think you are Hitler's Dr.Mengele? You are as cruel as he was!
STOP IT! How can anyone allow this let alone participate in it?
Apparently the only thing the University of Wisconsin is teaching their students through this animal torture is INHUMANITY. That being the case, then why don't they leave innocent animals alone, and do their bizarre "experiments" on each other, instead?
Please put an end to these cruel and barbaric experiments. I know there is a better way using modern science, technology and computer models.
This needs to be permanetly banned,it's beyond cruel that ANY living being should have to endure and be subjected to such pain and suffering.This is 2013 people there is so much technology.I can't believe that this has gone on all this time and no one has stepped up to put a stop to it.I have no words to describe the sheer utter barbaric testing that you do to these poor helpless cats..It's so wrong and completely disgusting that you can do this to a live animal…animals feel pain too and Iam appalled that measures have not yet been taken to stop this…pure evil!!! and I don't care if you want to use the excuse that these experiments take place to provide ongoing research to benefit humans..these are LIVE animals there are other ways to conduct research..this musn't continue
Can't bear to watch this and I don't understand this sadist cruelty in the 'name' of education! I am appalled and enraged that our wise educators are allowed to get away with this insane cruelty by seemingly superior academics. Who in their right mind can sanction this? The US government that sleeps??? Must be! Stand up and stop this insanity and better still punish those who have been complicit in these acts … they cannot go unpunished!
If they can do this to cats…. I believe it is a fact, animal cruelty defines the serial killer. Is this just a socially acceptable outlet? These people must not have pets in their homes. These are our fellow earthlings! Stop!
Stop this immediately!!!! This is sick. It is not necessary.
This is shameful and it had to stop!
WOW !!!…………….. and Micheal Vick went to PRISON ??? what hypocrisy !!!
I haven't forgotten about you kitties. I think about you every day and can't believe what you have to go through — and #doubletrouble did not lose her life in vain — we remember her. These could be anyone's pets and they are zipped up in jackets and terrorized to test a "hearing aid" – Glad that another celeb is standing up for you, as #UWMadison #Badgers denies and denies it on Twitter. We will continue to share your pictures and be your voices because these kitties are the face of your school.
This is abhorrent. Thank you PETA, and thank you Bill. I can't imagine the ignorant humans involved in this. Very worthless people.
Please stop this abuse. This is not humane. There are better ways to conduct scientific experiments. Anyone who could do this to an animal is detached from humanity.
I understand that sometimes the medical community needs to experiment before bringing some new drug or treatment to us. But I can't fathom what tests they are doing to these cats that could possibly help mankind. This is just horrifying. For shame.
how is this legal? how can ANYONE witness this and be OK with it? how can ANYONE be a part of this? how do they sleep at night? i couldn't bring myself to watch the video, the picture made me cry enough. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?????
Save the animals,use humans that are in prison for murder or child molesters/abusers instead.
Come on UW, we are better than this
I don't understand the need for animal experimentation in this day and age. Especially a higher animal like a cat or dog. The sad part is that the people doing this must by psychotic or something. How can you harm an animal and not care? I am very much into science but I still have a conscience. Causing the suffering of animals for experiments when it's not required is just inhumane.
This has left me so appalled I have no words. Just end this now!
This is horrible. Whatever your "educational experimenting" reason is, it's not valid. Anyone with any type of compassion should know this is really wrong. Please stop this abuse.
These practices are gruesome and barbaric. Please end this unethical and cruel treatment of animals at UW immediately.
Please quit using animals for research. There has to be a better way.

In Brief: Target's data breach hits 70M customers
Target breach caught up to 70M customers
Target says that personal information -- including phone numbers and e-mail and mailing addresses -- was stolen from as many as 70 million customers in its pre-Christmas data breach. That was substantially more customers than Target had previously said were affected.
The chain also indicated its sales have been hurt by the breach, cutting its forecast for fourth-quarter earnings and a key sales barometer.
Target Corp. announced in December that about 40 million credit and debit cards may have been affected by a data breach that happened between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 -- just as the holiday shopping season was getting into gear.
But the net has now been cast wider, with more shoppers potentially impacted.
Google apologizes for 'Hitler' name on maps
Google has apologized after a Berlin intersection accidentally regained its Nazi-era name, Adolf-Hitler-Platz, on the Google Maps service.
Google spokeswoman Lena Wagner said Friday the company quickly took down the name after the error was discovered. The intersection was relabeled with its proper name, Theodor-Heuss-Platz, after West Germany's first post-World War II president.
Google says it's not clear how the error occurred, but that "we apologize for this mistake." The erroneous name was visible only for a few hours late Thursday.
Scores of streets and squares were named after Hitler during his 1933-1945 dictatorship.
Pork producers call for more humane treatment
The yearslong call by animal rights groups to improve conditions on American hog farms advanced considerably last week when two of the country's biggest meat companies urged producers to change how pregnant sows are housed, and one announced it wanted to stop the practice of killing sick or injured animals by "manual blunt force."
Tyson Foods sent new animal welfare guidelines to its 3,000 independent hog suppliers on Wednesday.
And Smithfield Foods announced Tuesday it would ask growers to move pregnant sows from gestation crates to group housing by 2022.
The change in corporate policy comes after decades of lobbying and protests from animal rights groups.

TRENTON - Private companies will be allowed to build and manage a limited number of schools in Camden, Newark, and Trenton under a bill passed by the Legislature on Monday and sent to Gov. Christie for approval.
The measure was among dozens passed by the Democratic-controlled Assembly and Senate, then sent to Christie's desk as the two-year legislative period ended with a marathon voting session that lasted late into the night.
One of the session's more controversial pieces of legislation passed despite objections from environmentalists and the federal government. The bill delays implementation of limits to new sewer service in the state, effectively allowing developers to build in environmentally sensitive areas. Opponents said the bill, if signed by Christie, would increase water pollution.

My undergraduate teaching revolves around contemporary German and European history, and I also teach transnational histories of love, sexuality, and everyday life. At the graduate level, I focus on critical theory and interdisciplinary research methods in addition to historiography. My main research interests lie in the history of sexuality and visual culture, especially the role of photography and social media as agents of historical meaning.
My publications reflect these same interests in thinking conceptually as well as historically. My first book Life Among the Ruins: Cityscape and Sexuality in Cold War Berlin (Palgrave Macmillan, 2011) is a cultural history of reconstruction and traces the rebirth of the city's various subcultures in the aftermath of World War II. I have written book chapters and articles on same-sex sexuality in post-1945 Germany and co-edited a book with Matt Cook (Birkbeck) entitled Queer Cities, Queer Cultures: Europe Since 1945 (Continuum, 2013). Another in German, on the historiography surrounding homosexuality, was edited together with Florian Mildenburger, Jakob Pastötter, and Rüdiger Lautmann, entitled Was ist Homosexualität? (Männerschwarm, 2013). Current projects a monograph on social media and Holocaust memory and I am also exploring the role of erotic photography as a claim to desire, personhood, and sexual freedom in the era before AIDS.
I currently supervise a growing number of MA and PhD students with wide-ranging interests in the social and cultural history of 20th and 21st century Germany. I am particularly interested in theoretically informed approaches to the history of the body, gender, and sexuality, visual culture, public memory, and the everyday.

After a seven-year absence from the discipline, Michelin is to return as official tyre supplier to the MotoGP World Championship for three years beginning in 2016.
MotoGP's promoter DORNA Sports today confirmed that Michelin has been named as the championship's official tyre supplier to the championship from 2016.
After 36 seasons in the competition, Michelin withdrew at the end of 2008. However, the innovative technologies it introduced over a period of almost four decades helped its partners to claim an impressive list of successes.
The French firm's first GP 500 victory came on 8 June, 1973, with Jack Findlay (Suzuki), winner of that year's Tourist Trophy in the Isle of Man, then home of the British Grand Prix. Findlay was also the first rider to test Michelin's new slick technology. In 1976, Barry Sheene (Suzuki) earned his first world title using slick tyres, while Randy Mamola secured the first race win with Michelin's new radial technology in Italy in 1984.
The French firm has won 26 world titles and 360 race wins in motorcycle racing's premier competition.

Onslaught DLC Achievement Guide
This guide may not be used without written permission by either the author or website admins. This guide has been put together for x360a and should not be used without permission.
I do not accept random friend requests. I cannot help you online or help you boost because by the time I am done with the guide I will have either returned/sold the game. Because you saw my guide doesn't make us friends.
-Estimated achievement difficulty: 4/10 - 6/10 (Depends on your squad)
-Offline: 8 (120http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...isc/g-icon.gif)
-Approximate amount of time to 120http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg: 1+
-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 4
-Number of missable achievements: None
-Do cheat codes disable achievements? No
-Does difficulty affect achievements? Yes
-Glitchy achievements: None
-Unobtainable achievements: None
-Extra equipment needed? Onslaught DLC, Multiplayer Update 2
Gather yourself 2-4 members to be on your squad(4 is highly recommended). Always have someone sticking back for any level just to make sure you can keep progressing. If one person stays alive, you can respawn as many times as you need. Take out enemy vehicles as a first priority. Clear a area and then they will start sending in reinforcements. Find a good spot of where they spawn from and make sure no one is in the vicinity of the flag. If someone is, you won't take over the flag. This DLC shouldn't be too hard with some buddies. You can start on Hardcore and go right at it. But I recommend going through it on a easier difficulty first to figure out where the enemies/vehicles spawn.

The tank at the beginning of this one is the biggest thing to help you. With the tank this level will be no problem at all.
First Flag - Go to the right side of the level and clear the area. There is a S-RPG in the center in a shack. Make sure you take it out. Once you cleared out the area, have the tank watch up the road and kill everyone that spawns to come to the village. After the first flag, a tank spawns on the left side of the hill. Have a Recon eliminate the tank.
Between First and Second Flag - Near the right side of the Second Flag, have two Recon classes have mortar strikes hit the Patrol Boat that shoots mortars at you. Make sure the person with the tank does not go near the sight of the patrol boat til it is eliminated.
Second Flag - Have your teammates flank on the right side near the water. Drive the tank up slowly and eliminate the enemies that spawn at the end of the road. Have a person repairing your tank as there are more engineers that will shoot rockets at you. Drive the tank up to the flag and just keep shooting the enemies until you have captured the flag.
Third Flag - There are two gunner vehicles that are in the center. Have the person with the tank to drive up there and eliminate the two vehicles with ease. Have your squad move up the right side as there are minimal amounts of enemies. Just have 2 people in the tank and have them shoot up the road killing any enemies.
Fourth Flag - There is a tank in the center of this village, have a engineer go and blow up the tank while trying to shoot it with your tank too. This tank is easy to eliminate. In the back left corner of the map is a Heavy MG. Once you kill the MG, drive the tank up to the flag and have your squad hide in the trench next to it. Shoot the enemies on the right side as that is where they spawn(parachute in). You should have this flag in no time.

Always have someone staying back behind the enemy's line of sight.
Have each of your teammates be one weapons class.
Second Flag - The second flag has many Heavy MG's located around it. Have 2 Engineers move up as some of the enemies are killed and use the Rocket Launchers to take out the Heavy MG's with ease.
Third Flag - This one may prove to be the toughest. A tank appears and can be tough on your team if not taken out quickly. Have a Recon call in a mortar strike or 2 engineers shooting Carl Gustav's with increased explosive damage. Once you have cleared the enemies front line, they spawn in the far right and left corners of the map. Have a medic go up to the flag and hide behind the crates. Everyone else set up camp and protect your medic from different angles(Recon snipe from a distance and 2 Assault classes kill any enemies they see advancing on your Medic.

Strategy One: (Makes this level easy)
The key to this map is the play conservative with your vehicles. If someone can fly the Apache, then this map will be very easy. There isn't truly a base strategy for this map. Always play as engineers. If you take the Apache route, there should be two in the Apache. And two people in the tank. Keep these vehicles protected as much as you can. If your Apache starts to smoke, fly away! The Apache is very powerful against infantry units, but not that good against ground vehicles. Their purpose is to kill infantry and the helicopters that spawn. The tank is to take out other tanks and to take over the bases.
Strategy Two: (A little harder)
Have two people take the tank and two people be engineers with tracer darts. Have the tank take out enemies and the engineers take out any major vehicles like Helicopters and Tanks.

This one is quite short and one of the easiest ones to do. Many of the flags are near a building so you can stay inside the building while defending the flag to capture it. Engineers will be very helpful because there are a lot of enemy tanks, buggies, and enemy Heavy MG's.
First Flag - On the way to the first flag there is a Heavy MG. Once you reach the first flag, stick inside of it and defend the perimiter while you capture the flag. This one shouldn't be to difficult. If it is, have someone stay upstairs as they will be out of the line of fire.
Second Flag - The second flag has a Heavy MG on the roof and a tank that spawns in the area. Take care of the Heavy MG with a rocket and then have your engineers take out the Tank. Take cover in the building and do as you did previously, protect the perimeter and raise the flag.
Third Flag - On your way to the third flag stick to the right side. Have a engineer destroy the buggy with a rocket that appears in the center of the area on the road. Then follow the train cars up the right side to get into the building. Cover the building's doors and kill the enemies in the area. Some may need to be killed on the roof so that you can begin capturing the flag.
finish each mission on hardcore and you will get all cheevos.
its noon central time and it hasnt come down the pipe yet..... pushed back again?
oh, and i can be cool too :uzi:
Well I assume each one (or hope anyways) would have a descripion of how to do it successfully
anyway, looking forward to the guide, sidedish.
as for guide criticism, the last achievement you have finish nelson bay on the hardcore difficult
add you a y in there ;)
and the dlc is out btw. go play it
i havent played the mode yet but is there an update beacuse in the dashboard it still has 54 out ofo 54?
i agree with the guy to say you beat it on hardcore, if its available from the start you can play each stage once (theoretically) and get all achievements -- no guide necessary as strategies and skills vary with different people and their preferences and therefore a guide will not be that helpful on this dlc
So...how hard is hardcore?
Not sure where my post went, but it is a LEGITIMATE question. How did you obtain a copyright so fast? You cannot put a copyright on something that isn't copyrighted.
Anyway, I look forward to reading your tips for completing Onslaught on Hardcore. Heard it is tough!
The achievements were easy... 4 of us completed all of them on hardcore in about 50 minutes.
Still had fun doing it though ;D
Hey, does anybody know if i get the Specact recon achievement in onslaught mode?
prolly not
Achievement guide, what a joke! play the game before wasting everybody's time
Do demolition 2.0 kills work in onslaught mode?
Thanks for the tips for Atacama Desert on Hardcore. :)
I like the guide, looks like some time and effort has been put in it, also I'll try Hardcore first! Because they're stacked, right?
nice guide. Although I would probably change the difficulty becasue since you have infinte respawns, its really not that hard. Probably 3 or 4 out of 10.
good work tho.
