Convocation Ceremony Honors Vaughn's Top Students
May 16, 2014
The Honors Convocation Ceremony, held on Wednesday, May 14, celebrated the accomplishments of the top students and athletes at Vaughn. Students, family and friends gathered with staff, faculty and board members to share in the celebration.
Dean of Academic Affairs Dr. Paul LaVergne welcomed the crowd and introduced the department chairs and staff representatives as they presented the awards. President Dr. John C. Fitzpatrick and Senior Vice President Dr. Sharon B. DeVivo were in attendance to show their support of the students and note their worthy achievements.
The ceremony included an address from guest speaker Richard A. Asper, JD, the founder of Aviation Professionals Group, Inc., who reflected on his first visit to the College where he met Casey S. Jones, one of the College's founders, and honored the accomplishments of the students at the ceremony. Asper discussed the variety of opportunities awaiting them and spoke from experience about taking risks in order to succeed. He summed up his speech by noting that "every take off is optional, but every landing is mandatory."
Wajahat Khan '14, who is receiving his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering technology on Saturday, gave the student address and will serve as commencement speaker. Khan talked about his good fortune in coming to the US as a teenager and the opportunities it afforded him. He thanked his family for encouraging him along the way as well as the faculty and staff at Vaughn who helped him to achieve his dream. He reflected on the accomplishments of the class of 2014 and hoped that all would go forward to "touch the lives of others, no matter where we go." He ended by quoting a favorite Greek philosopher who noted that "the greater the difficulty, the more profound the accomplishments."

December 27th, 2012
I thought that, if Wayne LaPierre were to appear on Meet the Press, that there might be at the very least equal-sided coverage. Instead, I think I saw why he chose that venue: it was hardly a challenge to him. Gregory did a rather lame job of holding LaPierre to the fire, and afterwards, instead of hearing the other side, we got Lindsey Graham and Chuck Schumer, with Schumer being extremely moderate at best. LaPierre and Graham making the same virulent case, and Schumer kind of saying "can't we all just get along?" I am sure that LaPierre apologists will claim that Gregory was "tough" on him, but he was not, and was equally aggressive (not very, but acted like it) to all three men. I wish I lived in an age of actual journalism. Did such an age ever exist? If so, I wonder what it was like. Let's go over LaPierre's statements. Gregory began by asking if guns should be part of the argument; LaPierre countered the same way Graham did later: with crocodile tears for the victims:
We all have five year olds-- in our families in some way. I mean we all put ourselves in that situation, and the tears flow down our eyes.In short, "I don't want to answer your question and want to appear sympathetic instead." He does a poor job of it. I use the term "crocodile tears" not just because LaPierre and his patrons profit from tragedies like this and have no intention of turning their attention inward, but because he seriously looked reptilian when he said that. Even the phrasing was insincerely artificial. But the delivery was downright creepy. He continues:
The N.R.A., made up of all these moms and dads, parents, we have 11,000 police training instructors. We have 80,000 police families. We're four million members. And we sat down and we said, "What we can we do will actually make a difference today to make these kids safe?In an example of why he was in fact horribly ineffective, Gregory simply let this pass. The correct response would have been, "Setting aside for the moment that you do not represent the actual opinions of nor have you actually engaged the vast majority of all of those people you claim to have standing right behind you in lockstep, you did not answer my question, sir." Instead, this ass simply gets to walk away leaving the impression that he somehow had a 4-million-person round table and that everyone agreed with what he's pushing. What I would love to see is how many people have mailed back their torn-up membership cards; a healthy number, I suspect, and one the NRA will never share.
You know, look. I know there's a media machine in this country that wants to blame guns every time something happens. I know there's an anti-second amendment industry in this country.So now he is establishing that (a) only guns are blamed in the media, and (b) there's an anti-gun "machine" (read: conspiracy), all bent on giving guns a bad name. Aside from paranoid, it is a projection; there is no "machine," or else gun control would be stronger by now—the machine is the one LaPierre himself runs. As for the media, not to mention the president, all have been talking about a variety of answers from day one.
If it's crazy to call for putting police and armed security in our school to protect our children, then call me crazy.No problem there. I went over this before. Gregory lamely keeps trying to get LaPierre to answer his first question, about whether guns should even be considered as a possible point to be regarded. He somewhat confusingly replied:
Gun control, you could ban all Dianne Feinstein's, you could do whatever she wants to do with magazines, it's not going to make any kid safer. We've got to get to the real problems, the real causes. And that's what the N.R.A. is trying to do. And I think, I'll tell you this, I have people all over the country calling me saying, "Wayne, I went to bed safer last night because I have a firearm. Don't let the media try to make this a gun issue."In short, what he's really saying is "no." Next, LaPierre tries to dismiss the notion that armed guards at schools cannot stop mass shootings:
And let's talk about what happened at Columbine, okay? There were armed guards there, and they didn't go in. They were under orders that if something happened, they would have called the police for backup. … And they waited for the SWAT team to show up, and the SWAT team set outside and tried to figure out what to do. Every procedure has been changed since Columbine as a result of that … They've changed every police procedure since Columbine. I mean I don't understand why you can't, just for a minute, imagine that when that horrible monster tried to shoot his way into Sandy Hook School, that if a good guy with a gun had been there, he might have been able to stop...To all of this, Gregory lamely responds that the Columbine officers exchanged fire with "the shooters." Actually, it was just Harris, and focusing on Columbine only strengthens LaPierre's argument, as he made a vague point about procedures that seems to explain off Columbine. The correct response for Gregory would have been, "Even if Columbine's procedures were wrong, Virginia Tech had an entire police department, and Fort Hood was a military base filled with trained armed soldiers. Even the Secret Service ultimately cannot keep presidents from being killed if the assailant is willing to sacrifice his own life, and if a man dresses in body armor and has a semi-automatic rifle with a 100-cartridge drum, a police officer with a pistol stands little chance of preventing a great deal of carnage. Not to mention that studies have shown that armed guards in schools can have a deleterious effect on the children." Instead, Gregory said, "They exchanged fire with the shooters. So your principle of having armed guards was true in Columbine, was it not?" Oooh, snap! Jesus. Next, LaPierre repeats his "we have armed guards at office buildings" canard:
Our police do this every day. They protect the president, The Secret Service does. They protect The Capitol. They protect office buildings. Most of the media, I know you don't have armed guards here, but most of the media, when I go around this country, they're protected by armed guards. Why can't we protect our most precious resource?Again, I dealt with that in this post. In short, the guards LaPierre mentions are not as commonplace as he suggests, and more to the point, they are not there to prevent massacres, nor could they. As for the Secret Service, to get to the level of protection of the president for our schools, the logistics and costs would make such a thing inconceivable. What does Gregory do? He concedes the point. Way to get tough there, idiot. Gregory then tries to get LaPierre to concede that at least is some cases, armed guards may not work, to which LaPierre answers, "Nothing's perfect, David." To which Gregory responds, "Right." Cutting-edge journalism, let me tell you. Gregory then asks about costs; LaPierre either answers that we should divert money from foreign aid, or else that we find similar funds. Which his Republican buddies would probably then block because it's not "paid for." Gregory, apparently either following a script or else under the impression that LaPierre is working under some system of logic, points out that LaPierre's speech included the idea that if something could save lives, we should try it. To which LaPierre replies:
I tell you, my standard is this. You can't legislate morality. Legislation works on the sane. Legislation works on the law abiding. … There are monsters out there every day, and we need to do something to stop them.Essentially: gun control doesn't work. Gregory's considered reply:
Let's stipulate that you're right. Let's say armed guards might work.Wow. Real effective way to match that argument. Gregory's stipulation was a segue to return the question of whether LaPierre would even consider the most obvious of gun control measures, mentioning the 30-round clip. The reply:
I don't believe that's going to make one difference. There are so many different ways to evade that, even if you had that. You had that for ten years when Dianne Feinstein passed that ban in '94. It was on the books. Columbine occurred right in the middle of it. It didn't make any difference.Actually, it did. Columbine was a blip in a period where there were far fewer deadly attacks. From Princeton:
The data came from an extensive tabulation by Mark Follman at Mother Jones. Except for 1999, a year of five shootings (including the Columbine massacre), the assault ban period was peaceful by US standards…. Since the expiration of the gun ban in 2004, the number of shootings per year has doubled, and the number of victims per year has nearly tripled. Three of the bloodiest four years shown here occurred since the expiration.Gregory, of course, was completely uninformed on this key point, and/or did not answer LaPierre's lie. LaPierre, when presented with a judge's decision which pointed out the efficacy of banning large clips, answered:
It's not going to work. It hasn't worked. Dianne Feinstein had her ban, and Columbine occurred.He uses the name "Feinstein" here and elsewhere, a total of five times, apparently the same way Republicans use the name "Pelosi": as a pejorative to baselessly express corrupt inefficiency. Which is not an argument. Nor is an exception a rule. It's like saying, "We outlaw cannibalism, but Jeffrey Dahmer ate people, so obviously the law does not work and we should repeal it." An argument Gregory did not even touch. LaPierre then turned the conversation to mental illness, which is a red herring—everyone is talking about that as being part of the problem, and it does not make gun control irrelevant. Gregory tried to handle that by turning to background checks. LaPierre made it sound like he was for them, but only cited the National Instant Check System (NICS), an NRA-backed attempt to circumvent both waiting periods (which would have prevented Lanza at Newtown had his mother not been a gun nut) and more in-depth checks. NICS is ineffective as states often don't enter data into it, and private sales and gun shows are easy loopholes to avoid the check at all. Gregory actually made a few effective points:
But if you want to check and screen more thoroughly for the mentally ill, why not screen more thoroughly for everybody and eliminate the fact that 40% can buy a weapon without any background check? … But you don't deny that there are-- that even the Instant Check System has huge holes, just like the mental health registry has huge holes.And here is where we get to the heart of why it is useless to have anyone interview someone as unreasonable and extreme as LaPierre: they simply evade the questions, and, as in LaPierre's case, are just too skilled at diverting the argument with a storm of BS:
You know what N.R.A. supports, David? N.R.A. supports what works, and we always have. We funded the (UNINTEL) Child Safety Program. We have accidents down to one tenth of what they used to be. We have supported prison building. We have supported programs like Project Exile where, every time you catch a criminal with a gun, a drug dealer with a gun, a violent felon with a gun, you prosecute him 100% of the time.Which, of course, does not answer the question, and is full of disinformation and evasions, all of which would require far more time to point out the flaws in the new bullshit before getting back to the question LaPierre evaded in the first place. I would go on, but looking through the interview, it's mostly just more of the same and, quite frankly, it's intensely depressing wading through such deep quagmires of festering pus. My father had it right: just do not give people like LaPierre a national podium to speak from. He calls a press conference? Why report on it? If the nation's premier handgun control center were to hold a press conference, would it get even a 100th of the attention? No. So ignore LaPierre. He wants to pick and choose which Sunday talk show to use as a bully pulpit on terms he dictates? Tell him to go to hell. Instead invite on the show reasonable and informed people from both sides of the issue to debate in a rational, structured, fact-based way. But we can't do that. Instead, allow an extremist loon a national pedestal to spew his lies and then bring on two politicians to say nothing of substance. It's just the "Liberal Media™" hard at work again.

A Haysville auto body shop has been closed by the state for not paying state sales taxes.
On Monday, Kansas Department of Revenue civil tax enforcement agents and Sedgwick County sheriff's deputies seized the business assets of Showroom Auto Motive, located in the 7400 block of South Broadway in Haysville.

Rory McIlroy eventually won a head-bobber in Hong Kong, Lee Westwood dominated proceedings in Sun City and cruised to victory at the Nedbank and Tiger Woods birdied the last two holes at the Chevron World Challenge to edge out Zach Johnson in what had developed into a titanic, high-class and highly enjoyable dog-fight.My BetsI finished the Hong Kong Open with five of my six pre-event picks in the top-15, with Richie Ramsay, who finished tied 4th, the closest to Rory but it never really looked as though any of them would win. And one of my in-running picks, Alvaro Quiros, led with a round to go before flopping quite badly on day four, so it was a frustrating and disappointing tournament.To add to my woes, I also backed Ian Poulter during round four at 25.0, before he too came up short.Thankfully, I couldn't really see past Westwood at Sun City so his win more than made up for Hong Kong. After a couple of late nights and early starts I went back to bed after the Hong Kong Open yesterday morning so I layed Westwood at 1.05, just so I could sleep easy. I needn't have bothered.In the States, my sole pre-event pick, Paul Casey, blew his chance on day one with a disastrous 79 before clawing his way back up to third place at the finish - a tad frustrating.I hadn't really given this event much attention at all until Sunday, and even then I just played about really. Zach Johnson had been a pre-event pick for the last two years so I felt I really wanted to be with him if he was going to win this time around. I backed him and layed him a few times, and mercifully I layed back enough at 1.50, with two to play when he led by one, to ensure a small profit on the tournament.It would have been a much better result, had Zach won, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment too much. Both men played well on the run-in and it was impossible not to enjoy watching Tiger back in form.Players to swerveThe heading's harsh this week, but here are a few players that didn't quite fulfil their potential this weekend...Richie Ramsay, at the right venue and at the right price, will no doubt be a pick again but I couldn't help but be bitterly disappointed by his reaction to starting out round three so close to the pace. He began the day just one off the lead but bogeyed the first three holes and was always struggling after that. And much the same can be said of David Horsey, who's beginning to make a bit of a habit of performing poorly in the mix.Peter Hanson is another who flatters to deceive too often when the heat is on and he did so again yesterday, making a number of mistakes at key points.What have we learnt for next year?I have to confess, I'm starting to get a bit fed up with the Hong Kong Open. Each year seems to follow the same path. I dig out a few nicely priced selections that get right into the mix but ultimately come up short. Nevertheless, no doubt I'll have another go next time around and yet again I'll be focussing on accurate, patient types.Alvaro Quiros was an anomaly this year and the tricky course eventually got to him. I'm very surprised how well he fared and it's put me in a quandary for next week. His game must be in great order for him to contend here and next week's venue will be far more his cup of tea but how easily will he get over Sunday's disappointing final round? Anyway, I digress, the bottom line is, stick to accurate players in Hong Kong in future.It took me a while, but the penny has finally dropped at the Nedbank. Simply ignore the debutants. Westwood had won easily last year and after his immaculate display on Saturday, when he shot ten under par, converting was a piece of cake this time around too. And look who eventually finished runner-up - Robert 'course form' Karlsson...The giant Swede came into the event under something of a cloud, having struggled somewhat since his 4th placed finish at the US PGA Championship, but he found a spark here and used his course knowledge to get the better of the newbies and finish second.Westwood will in all likelihood be a short price next year and if Karlsson arrives in form he could be a generously priced feasible alternative.Course form stands up well at Sherwood Country Club too. Tiger Woods will be an obvious pick, providing this wasn't a one-off and his game gets back into some sort of order, but I may well look to play Zach and Casey again. Obvious I know but they clearly love the place and they might be value alternatives.I'm really looking forward to next week, mainly because it marks the end of the golfing year and I'm ready for a break! Rory's win means he can still pip Luke Donald and win the Race to Dubai so the Dubai World Championship has plenty of spice, as well as a top-class field and I'll be back on Tuesday or Wednesday with my preview.

Expert Review
The five-star Corinthia Hotel Budapest (formerly the Grand Hotel Royal) was built in 1896 and totally – and magnificently – restored in 2002. A staircase leads from a busy street to the six-story, glass-roofed atrium lobby and the French Renaissance-style interior, which brims with Italian marble, wrought iron, mosaic floors, and columns. The 414 rooms are decorated in dark woods and rich upholstery and have spacious marble bathrooms. The tricked-out conference rooms can hold more than 2,000 and include a historic ballroom. There are three in-house restaurants, a café, and a bar. The excellent Royal Spa, which dates from the 1880s but was renovated in 2006, has Jacuzzis, saunas, a Vichy shower, and twelve treatment rooms.

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Texas scorecards, email suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please see our writing guidelines if you would like to add results from an individual scorecard to this legislator's profile.
In 2014, the Legislature was in session from February 25 through May 19.
- Liberty Minnesota: 2014
- Legislators are scored on bills of interest to an organization advocating "limited government, free enterprise, and individual liberty."[8]
- NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota: 2014 Legislative Scorecard
- Legislators are scored on pro-choice issues.
In 2013, the Legislature was in session from January 8 to May 20.
- Americans for Prosperity Minnesota: 2013 Scorecard
- Legislators are scored "on key votes on issues concerning economic freedom, which includes taxes, budgets and spending, health care and more."[9]
- Minnesota Family Council: 2013 Scorecard
- Legislators are scored on votes of interest to a socially conservative "pro-family" organization.[10]
- Minnesota Majority: 2013 Scorecard

Taxpayers League of Minnesota
The Taxpayers League of Minnesota, a Minnesota-based taxpayer advocacy organization, releases a legislative scorecard for the Minnesota House of Representatives and Minnesota State Senate once a year. The scorecard gives each legislator a score based on how they voted in the prior legislative term on tax issues and "their efforts to balance the state budget without a tax increase." The organization also compiles a legislator's individual "Lifetime Score."[12]
Gruenhagen received a score of 92% in the 2013 scorecard, ranking 27th out of all 134 Minnesota House of Representatives members.[13]
Gruenhagen received a score of 100% in the 2012 scorecard, ranking 13th out of all 134 Minnesota House of Representatives members.[14]

The unexpected benefits of adjustable rate mortgages
As would be expected during a time of consumer deleveraging, households applied more than 70 percent of their mortgage savings to reducing outstanding credit card debts. Not only did the lower payments reduce mortgage defaults but credit card delinquencies fell. 'These choices had significant impact on foreclosures, house prices and employment in regions that were more exposed to interest rate declines,' the researchers concluded.

PCS Paddle Shifter
The PCS Paddle Shifter (PN PS-2000) is designed to provide paddle shifting capability to your hot rod with the look and feel of an OEM system. Easily installed behind any aftermarket five-, six-, or nine-bolt steering wheel, the Paddle Shifter does not require any external wiring or messy splicing into your vehicle's wiring system. The paddle unit is powered by attachment to the horn button wire, eliminating any external wiring on the column. The Paddle Shifter communicates with the transmission control unit (Simple Shift TCM-2300, $550) via a wireless receiver module. This receiver module plugs into your PCS transmission control unit harness with one simple, preinstalled plug. The paddle shifter optional display allows the driver to view a ton of information, including the current gear, throttle position, vehicle speed, manifold pressure ... the list goes on and on.
Applications: any electronically controlled domestic transmission and five-, six-, or nine-bolt steering wheel
Street price: $549 (steering wheel not included)
GSM Push Button Shifter
The GSM Push Button Shifter (PN GSM-5000) is an electronically controlled shifter that offers precise, split-second shifting capability with the push of a button. Its slim touch-pad control module and compact, sealed actuator give you virtually unlimited mounting options for tight spaces or grueling environments. The GSM replaces the shift lever for nearly any automatic transmission, and can be surface or flush-mounted and is small enough to fit in consoles, dashes, door panels, or even armrests. Each button is recessed to avoid inadvertent touches and brightly backlit for darker environments. An easy-to-read display shows you what gear you're in. Standard control modules use a PRND configuration along with "+" and "-" buttons for a tap-up/tap-down feature. We installed the GSM-500 on PHR's Project Laguna, where it controls our Phoenix Transmission Products 700-R4. The control actuator box is mounted under the driver seat, and mechanically controls the shift lever on the side of the transmission with quick, precise shifts. Can also be combined with the PS-2000 Paddle Shifter system.
Applications: any automatic transmission
Street price: $1,149
Powertrain Control Systems
Cheetah SCS
The Turbo Action Cheetah SCS Shifter was created, engineered, and prototyped in 1980 and debuted at the 1982 NHRA Gatornationals, so you know it was made for competition. Our previous experience with one in a low 10-second Mustang proved it to be confidence inspiring with totally reliable operation and zero missed shifts or overshifts. It features a rugged construction, precision gating for proper engagement of each gear, a high-tech look, one-hand reverse lockout, automatic clearing of reverse to Neutral, two-finger lift to reverse and park, a spring-biased handle for safer, smoother shifts, and a built-in control switch for nitrous, a line lock, or a transbrake.
Applications: Chrysler 727 and 904; GM Powerglide, TH200, and TH400; and Ford C4 and C6
Street price: $309.97
Turbo Action
MSD Transmission Control Module
Designed to work with MSD's Atomic EFI system or as a completely stand-alone deal, the Atomic Transmission Control Module (PN 2760) lets you easily modify the operating parameters of late-model electronically controlled four-speed auto transmissions. You can adjust shift points, torque converter operation, shift firmness, and set it up for auto, manual, or dyno modes. A handheld monitor means you don't need a PC to program it, and you can monitor the trans in real time. It has a plug-in harness with OEM-style connectors too. When used with the Atomic EFI, it basically connects inline and the same handheld monitor is used to tune both the EFI and the TCU, which means less wiring and only one controller to deal with.
Applications: GM 4L60E, 4L85E, and 4L70; Ford 4R70W/75W, 4R100, and E4OD
Street price: $540.86 (harness sold separately for $134.96)

this is the only mascara i will use; tried alot of them and i always go back to this one. it never smears, wont smudge under your eye even right after its applied. great, great product!!
This is a favorite of everyone... of me and all of my friends too. It's cheap and reliable.
Love love love this product. I have tried every DS mascara (I refuse to pay $20 for something I will throw out in 3 months) and this is the best. I have long, thin, straight lashes and find that it builds volume beautifully with no clumping. It holds curl really well and does not irritate my eyes. It lasts all day without flaking and it's doesn't make my lashes stiff or brittle. I temporarily switched to L'Oreal Voluminous because of the rave reviews, but have been underwhelmed. I will definitely not stray from my CG Super Thick Lash again!
Absolutely the best, there will be no other one in my makeup bag. It is not waterproof but it lasts for hours hours and hours without smearing, and it makes lashes gorgeous... buy it
This is a staple in my collection. It is on old favorite that I can always rely on when I absolutely need fab lashes. It is cheap and you can find it just about anywhere.
Oh my! This is an oldie, but I just started using it a few months ago.... I LOVE IT!!! It is cheap cheap cheap, love the brush, stays put, curves my lashes (I don't use a curler or anything) and is a bliss to take off. Way better than other mascaras that allege to do the trick!!!
WOW! I was surprised with this mascara. I was looking for a cheaper, easier to locate replacement for my Bourjois Talons mascara, and this is it! Normally, I shun drugstore products, but this one... It's like a cross between my Dior and Bourjois mascara, giving the best of both worlds: full, soft, not flakey, long lasting, no raccoon eyes. It gives volume and curl and is totally buildable for multiple coats. Definitely a notable find!
NICE! Gives gorgeously soft, glossy, thick lashes. Washes off easily, doesn't smear, smudge or flake.
For a few years I was devoted to Clinique Naturally Glossy and as of late, their High Impact. I always felt a tad guilty, since mascara is the one m/u item you should replace the soonest (3-6 mo.), so I wanted to save money, yet never comprimise what I wanted in a mascara. After reading the rave reviews on this gem, I decided to give it a whirl and I'm glad I did. I was ready to snub CG mascara forever since I very disapointed in their Triple Lash and Remarkable mascaras. Both where rather unremarkable, to say the least. Anyway, I would classify Super Thick Lash as a hybrid of my fave Naturally Glossy and High Impact, for a quarter of the price!
***UPDATE*** 7/05--Just wanted to add that my tube became gunky and the mascara went on clumpy. So, it's one of those mascaras that *really* needs to be replaced after 3 months. continued >>
Like this a lot, gives a nice "daytime dramatic" look. A couple gripes: it dries out fairly quickly (in about a month) and gets a little clumpy after it starts to dry out. Also, it gives a matte black color, which depending on preference, some people may not like. I'd prefer it to be a little glossier. If I needed cheap mascara, I'd buy again, but I may try Almay One Coat or Maybelline Full n Soft.

LOVE this mascara!!! I have nothing bad to say about it. I am just sorry it took me so long to find it.

gmp Architekten shared with us their first prize winning proposal for the Trianel GmgH Corporate Centre in Aachen, Germany. The new building is located along a major road next to the Tivoli stadium. From 2013 on it is to be built in two phases, the first of which comprises 9,600 square metres of gross floor area and will accommodate 400 members of staff. In the second, optional phase the building can be extended by 4,800 square metres to accommodate a further 200 employees. The building's sustainability concept merits a silver DGNB certificate.

Reflecting elements of Changzhou's southern Chinese culture and the city's prominent water features, their design includes a number of museums such as an arts museum, a science and technology museum and a library, together with service facilities supporting the center for culture in the Xinbei district of the city.

Sports Complex and Urban Re-design / gmp Architekten
In association with Jean-Baptiste Ferrari et Associes SA, gmp Architekten recently won the competition for a sports complex and urban re-design in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Sports Concert Complex / gmp Architekten + Collaborators
The challenging task of designing for the Eurovision Song Contest this year was undertaken by combining the efforts of gmp Architekten von Gerkan, Marg und Partner, Alpine Bau Deutschland AG, and Nüssli International AG. Taking place in Azerbaijan's capital Baku at Crystal Hall, the aim was to create and implement a multipurpose event-venue that is meant to accommodate 25,000 spectators.The characteristic crystalline shape of the building and its illuminated façade is the response to Azerbaijan's special request for the creation of a widely visible and visually effective landmark as a bridge between Asia and Europe that will be noticed in an international context. More images and architects' description after the break.
Chinese/German Eco-Park / gmp Architekten
An ecologically designed city quarter for living and working is currently being developed in China's Qingdao, on the coast of the Yellow Sea, to plans by architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp). The construction of the Chinese/German Eco-Park in Qingdao goes back to an agreement between the two countries, which was signed by the Federal Ministry for Economics and the Federal Ministry for the Environment during Angela Merkel's state visit in July 2010; it is scheduled for completion in 2015. More images and project description after the break.
AD Interviews: Meinhard von Gerkan, gmp architekten
We recently had the opportunity to interview gmp architekten founding partner, Meinhard von Gerkan. Born in 1935 in Riga/Latvia, Gerkan completed his architectural studies in 1964 at the Carolo Wilhelmina Technical University in Braunschweig. In 1965 he co-founded with Volkwin Marg, von Gerkan, Marg and partners. They have completed together over 260 buildings, among them the Berlin-Tegel Airport (competition, 1st place 1965, built in 1970-75), the Berlin Central Station, Villa Guna, Christ Pavilion, and the Lingang New City, been recognized nationally and internationally for their designs and competition proposals.
Meinhard von Gerkan has also dedicated time to architectural education serving as a professor at multiple institutions including Hamburg's Free Academy of Arts and Japan's Nihon University in Tokyo. His interest in the training of architects resulted in the creation of a foundation to promote architectural training in 2007: the Academy for Architectural Culture. He has regarded this as one of his most important projects.
"The architect has a particular social responsibility since architecture is an art with social obligation and use."
Our profession has a big component of passion, and Meinhard was full of it. It was inspiring to interview him, and I hope you enjoy this video.
