Roel De Boer imagines a city full of treehouse pods instead of high-rise apartment buildings. It might not be particularly realistic, but it's a fun thought experiment. "Imagine a treehouse that is reduced to the essentials," writes the designer. "A place to sit and a place to sleep … this is the place where I want to nest."
Under the concept outlined by de Boer, people could share more things and services with others, owning fewer objects and creating a more social place to live. Businesses like restaurants, teahouses, cinemas, saunas or libraries could fill other needs. The designer doesn't get into the nuts and bolts of how to construct his treehouse pods, but it looks that will be an inflatable mould shaped around the tree, covered with a waterproof mix of recycled cardboard.

Planning Process
One of the methods of promoting institutional effectiveness is through the allocation of resources in a manner that is reflective of College mission, institutional goals and community needs. Because budgeting has a direct influence on plans, commitments, and performance measures at FKCC, it is imperative that it is conducted in a manner that involves broad-based participation within the College.
The most effective method for achieving this is to fully integrate the budgeting process with the annual unit planning process. By incorporating planning for the budget into the annual planning process, budget managers and unit directors are able to more effectively demonstrate that they are developing budgets that are consistent with their unit goals and objectives as well as the College's goals and strategic objectives.
Therefore, the unit planning and budgeting planning processes are conducted simultaneously on an annual basis, from March to May. It is during this time that the unit directors identify their new unit goals, objectives, expected outcomes, and assessment criteria for the next fiscal year (July 1st through June 30th). They also develop and justify their budget package for the next fiscal year. This planning is based on results from the assessment of the current annual unit plan as well as results from the program or unit review that was conducted during the previous semester.
For the most part, FKCC's units begin budget development from a zero base and justify their recurring expenses based on activity from the previous year. This method has proven to be the most effective and stable budgeting strategy for the past two years. However, budgeting priorities that are in excess of the unit's traditional budget, such as new equipment, additional travel, or new personnel resources, must be integrated into the annual unit plan. This process ensures that new or additional resource requests support the college's goals and objectives.

A friend of ours recently relayed a criticism of the Fast ForWord software program in business circles:
"It has not been updated since the mid-1990s when it was launched! In a world where children have changed (granted, most are getting a daily shot of ADD symptoms with all the added digital media and over scheduling) and computers have advanced, why is that a so-called cutting-edge, cognitive training program is still using algorithms and designs from the 1990s?"
The facts here are (mainly) true, but the implication that Fast ForWord is a stale, neglected software is way off.
Unlike most competing cognitive and reading interventions, where the owners do seem to be tweaking and updating constantly — presumably because the results are not what they would like — the Fast ForWord developers have a different problem.
It's simple, we told our friend. Fast Forword works.
Would you mess with a software that is so consistently able to rewire learning and reading, and so dramatically change lives?
To some extent it has been "updated." New graphics were released 3-4 years ago, and this year a web version of Fast ForWord has been released. And the software developers have worked hard to create more efficiency in the program. For instance, it has taken advantage of better computing power to add clarity to its patented processing speech patterns. It has also taken out or reduced the time taken for reward sequences between exercise trials that stimulate neurotransmitters needed for rewiring.
However, our friend is essentially right. Fast ForWord has found a successful approach — defined by the adaptivity algorithms, the size of the increments of added speed and complexity that is added, the number of trials to progress to the next step, the mix of cognitive, language and reading skills exercised, and a hundred other variables.
Bottom line, though, is that this program incorporates the same underlying science that was so painstakingly developed in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s and then become possible to apply with the advent of the personal computer.
And we are thankful! We love the program, and would not want to see it tampered with for any reason.

Cliffside Malibu founder praises repeal of DOMA
By April Neale Jul 3, 2013, 1:14 GMT
Gay Pride March 2012 on Fifth Avenue in New York City on June 24, 2012 - Fifth Avenue - New York City, NY, USA © Janet Mayer / PRPhotos.com
Cliffside Malibu founder and coauthor of the #1 bestselling Amazon.com book Ending Addiction for Good, Richard Taite, has spoken out about the repeal of DOMA and the repercussions it may have on addiction rates.
"The repeal of DOMA and the recognition of the rights of gay and lesbian individuals in our society could save many from becoming addicts," says Taite.
Cliffside Malibu is a top notch rehab which offers effective and evidence-based care in a private setting with a multitude of treatment options focusing on helping people overcome their addictions to re-engage with their families and lives. http://www.cliffsidemalibu.com
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), it is estimated that the rates of substance abuse among gay and transgendered populations are between 20 percent to 30 percent, compared to about 9 percent of the general population.
Taite tells Monsters and Critics, "Much of this increased substance abuse is due to stress, abuse, and discrimination. Repealing DOMA and providing homosexual individuals their rights, could very likely lead to a decrease in their rates of substance abuse and prescription drug addiction."
Addiction is rooted in pain, added Taite. Unfortunately, in our drug treatment center we all too often see men and women who were bullied, abused, or shut out from their families for being gay or lesbian. Everyone has a need for family, community and approval. The repeal of DOMA, which will begin to make it easier for LGBTQ individuals to build the families they desire will undoubtedly have a real, positive impact on their well-being and make it less likely they will need to resort to substance abuse to relieve the pain they experience for being ostracized and discriminated against.
Lack of relationship recognition has been a detriment to health, says Dr. Damon Raskin, an addiction specialist with Cliffside Malibu. When Proposition 8 in California disallowed people from having the benefits that go along with marriage, not just the financial benefits, but the feeling of being recognized as married, it took a toll on many peoples mental health. This change in the law brought about by the Supreme Courts decision will make life better for people who have unduly suffered. It is no doubt that this change will have a conclusive effect on addiction rates.

Revised Rudin condominium proposal and St. Vincent's newly-filed "hardship application"
PVHD believes that the revised Rudin proposal remains too tall, too dense and out of scale with the surrounding area. We also believe that the application does not meet the established criteria for a hardship exemption and that the O'Toole building must be preserved. To read the hardship application and view drawings reflecting the revised Rudin proposal, click here.
Objections to the Revised Rudin Proposal for the East Campus:
- The proposed new condominium structure that would replace Coleman and Link is too large, too bulky, and not in keeping with the fabric of the Greenwich Village Historic District. At 235 feet, it will rise higher than any surrounding structure, including the large neighboring apartment buildings whose excessive bulk led to the creation of the Historic District. The mistakes of the past should not be compounded by approving an even larger structure that also has nothing to do with the rhythm or character of the Historic District.
- The proposed new condominium development, together with the buildings proposed for adaptive reuse, would result in a residential density totally at odds with the character of the Historic District. The resulting bulk, which approaches an FAR of 10, would overwhelm the fabric of the District.
- The Reiss Building is a handsome brick structure that should not be demolished. It, like the others identified in the Designation Report, is remarkably compatible with the surrounding small midblock townhouses. It would certainly be inappropriate to demolish Reiss only to replace it with a so-called modernistic interpretation of approximately the same size. To permit demolition and new construction would also upset the character and compatibility of the surrounding buildings that would remain on either side of the Reiss Building site.
- Demolition of the Reiss Building, if permitted, would also make way for the addition of a FOURTH PARKING GARAGE on 12th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. The new building and garage would generate a huge amount of new traffic in the middle of a residential block, which will damage the quality of the historic structures on a block already overburdened with the traffic generated by three other garages. Permitting a FOURTH parking garage, which is to be constructed far underground, will also require massive demolition and digging, which threatens the fragile older townhouses and other historic buildings on this block.
- The retail proposed for the side streets (11th and 12th Streets) is inappropriate to, and incompatible with, this part of the Historic District.
- Approval of the revised Rudin proposal would effectively commit the East Campus to residential development and exclude the prospect of reusing some or all of it for a modernized hospital. This would improperly segment the LPC review process. More importantly, it would sharply diminish the realistic prospects of reusing the East Campus for a modernized hospital.
Objections to the Revised St. Vincent's Proposal for the O'Toole Site
- As the Landmarks Commissioners have already stated, the O'Toole Building is a striking example of modernistic architecture within the Greenwich Village Historic District and is an important landmark in its own right. In addition, in its low-rise configuration, it is an integral part of the fabric of the Historic District, providing a transition from the taller structures to the north and an elevated plaza of light and air between 12th and 13th Streets. If the O'Toole Building were demolished, these critical features would be lost to the Historic District and future generations. The Commission must do everything within its power to preserve the O'Toole Building.
- Even if demolition were permitted, the proposed new hospital tower that would replace the O'Toole Building is too high, too broad, and totally not in keeping with the fabric of the Greenwich Village Historic District. At 300 feet it will far surpass the height of any surrounding structures and will be widely visible from the adjoining neighborhoods. It will also transform what is effectively a low-rise elevated plaza providing extensive light and air to a bulky high-rise building, significantly and adversely affecting the quality and character of the Historic District and the adjacent neighborhoods.
- If the LPC approved such a huge new structure within a Historic District, it would set a terrible precedent that would affect historic districts across the city. It would be an invitation to other charitable organizations to do the same.
- There is no basis for the claim that the O'Toole Building cannot be used for hospital purposes, as it has been for the past 25 years. It could unquestionably be renovated to provide modernized services. The claim being made by St. Vincent's is that O'Toole cannot be used for the hospital it wants — i.e., a new high-rise tower. But that is not the proper test. The O'Toole Building contributes significantly to the carrying out of St. Vincent's charitable purposes and can continue to do so.
- At the time St. Vincent's acquired the O'Toole Building, it was subject to the restrictions set forth in the Landmarks Preservation Law. It bought the building knowing this to be the case—and with full knowledge of the restrictions. St. Vincent's should continue to be bound by them. If the LPC were to hold otherwise, any charitable organization could acquire a landmark property and then claim hardship because the building was not suited to its charitable mission. That would make a mockery of the Landmarks Law.
- By selling off its East Campus, St. Vincent's is self-creating the hardship that it argues justifies the demolition of the O'Toole Building. This bootstrap claim, if upheld, would turn the Landmarks Preservation Law on its head.
- There are feasible alternatives to destroying O'Toole, including the possibility of renovating some or all of the East Campus buildings or by building the tower at a new site on the West Side. If St. Vincent's were to sell its East Campus to the Rudins and also sell O'Toole for adaptive reuse, it would generate hundreds of millions of dollars that could be used to acquire another site (or expand its existing property on Sixth Avenue) and provide the equity for a new tower. Alternatively, St. Vincent's claim that it cannot renovate its existing East Campus buildings because it would have to close its major services down for several years ignores the potential for phasing the modernization and using temporary facilities, such as those offered at Cabrini Hospital, in the meantime. Moreover, St. Vincent's claim regarding its existing facilities is belied by its representation to its creditors in its bankruptcy proceeding that if it could not build at the O'Toole site, it could continue to meet its mission by upgrading its existing East Campus buildings.
Legal Deficiencies
- The Commission should not separate the Rudin proposal for the East Campus and St. Vincent's hardship application for the O'Toole site. These are simply two elements of the same overall plan, and the one cannot be considered independent of the other. For the LPC to separate the two not only makes no practical sense, it threatens that the LPC will prejudge of one aspect of the plan before it conducts any meaningful investigation of the other. This is an improper segmentation that could and very likely will prejudice the outcome of the process.
- The impropriety of separating the Rudin and St. Vincent's applications is further underscored by St. Vincent's statement in its hardship application that the Hospital cannot use the East Campus for a replacement hospital because the LPC has refused to give approval to the demolition of Spellman, Nurses, Smith or Raskob, "rendering this option closed for consideration." But the Commissioners also spoke against the demolition of O'Toole, yet this has not "rendered that option closed for consideration." There are, of course, reasons why St. Vincent's might not seek a hardship finding for the East Campus — it wants to sell the buildings to Rudin. But this is never mentioned due to the artificial separation of the applications.
- The Commission cannot limit its consideration to "physical" hardship at the O'Toole site. It must also consider the financial situation of St. Vincent's, since, as just noted, the plan to sell the East Campus for residential use is based on the assumption that the money is needed to build the new Hospital Tower. This was one of the main arguments advanced by St. Vincent's in the appropriateness proceeding, and while it may not have highlighted the interconnection in its hardship application, the facts are well known to, and cannot be ignored by, the LPC.

Suspected lakefront attacker chased down, held for police
BY JIM SCALZITTI Staff Reporter February 14, 2013 1:12PM
Donny Jones of Markham was one of three men who chased down a man who attacked a woman jogging along the lakefront on Wednesday afternoon, then held him for police. / photo provided
Updated: February 14, 2013 2:57PM
Three men who were flagged down after hearing the screams of a woman being attacked on Wednesday afternoon on a lakefront running path on the South Side chased the attacker and held him until police arrived.
Brandon Williams, 24, of south suburban Calumet Park, was expected to appear in court for a bond hearing Friday, police said. He has been charged with one felony count of criminal sexual abuse.
About 1:40 p.m., the 36-year-old victim was running along the path near 6400 S. Promontory Drive, when she was attacked by a man who tried to sexually assault her, according to police.
She called out for help, and two men who were nearby came to her aid and her attacker fled.
Another man, Donny Jones, 38, of Markham, was driving on Lake Shore Drive when the woman "ran into the middle of Lake Shore Drive, flagging down cars," he said Thursday.
Jones stopped his car for her and the woman told him, "This guy just tried to attack me," he recalled. The woman then got into Jones' car, and when she saw the alleged attacker running away, she pointed him out to Jones.
Jones drove toward him, got out of the car and chased him along with two other men.
"We gave chase, we knocked the guy out, and we held him down" until park district police arrived. A few minutes later, Chicago Police took the suspect into custody.
Jones, who owns the Chi-Town Steak and Lemonade restaurant in Chicago Heights, was heading from a construction job to a Home Depot store at the time.
"I live in the south suburbs and wasn't even supposed to be there," he said.
Jones also expressed astonishment at the brazen nature of the crime.
"This guy tries to rape her at 2 p.m. on Lake Shore Drive? Who does that in this world?"
Jones said the victim "was just out there training for a triathlon. Luckily, she was in good enough shape to get away from the guy."
Police are looking into the possibility that Williams may have been involved in other similar attacks.

MURRAY HILL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 24, 2003--C. R. Bard,
Inc. (NYSE - BCR) announced today that it has acquired the right to
purchase the assets of Genyx Medical, Inc., headquartered in Aliso
Viejo, California.
Genyx is a privately held medical device company that develops,
manufactures and markets Uryx(R), a proprietary injectable bulking
agent for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Terms of the
agreement were not disclosed.
A conservative estimate of 25 million Americans suffer from
urinary incontinence, a non-life threatening but often debilitating
condition. Some 85 percent of incontinence sufferers are female.
Minimally invasive bulking agent therapy is frequently used to treat
patients who are non-surgical candidates or who wish to delay surgical
treatment or who have failed surgical therapy.
William H. Longfield, chairman and chief executive officer,
commented, "The agreement to acquire Genyx affords Bard the
opportunity to further strengthen our leadership position in the
incontinence category, a significant growth area within urology. This
is one of many areas in which Bard intends to invest incremental
research and development funds as a means of driving new business and
building shareholder value."
Uryx is a proprietary liquid polymer injected into the area
surrounding the female urethra. Upon injection, the liquid transforms
into a spongy mass, providing support to the urinary sphincter,
reducing or eliminating the accidental loss of urine. Uryx is CE
marked. Genyx is in the final stages of a multi-center randomized
trial in the U.S. and anticipates filing a pre-market approval (PMA)
application with the FDA in the first half of 2003.
C. R. Bard, Inc., (www.crbard.com), headquartered in Murray Hill, New
Jersey, is a leading multinational developer, manufacturer and
marketer of health care products in the fields of vascular, urology,
oncology and surgical specialty products.
This press release contains forward-looking statements, the accuracy
of which is necessarily subject to risks and uncertainties. Please

From the UConn Foundation's newsletter, Our Moment (May 2012)
On Friday, April 13, 160 UConn undergraduate students showed off their hard work and research at Frontiers in Undergraduate Research 2012, sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Research, with support from the Honors Program. This annual event is the poster exhibition of student research, scholarship, and creative projects, and was a chance for students to highlight their work to the entire UConn community.
Some of this research was made possible through the generosity of UConn's donors. The UConn Foundation interviewed eight students during Frontiers and asked them about their research and how private giving has helped them follow their dreams.
We hope you enjoy the videos of some of UConn's brightest students, and perhaps you can join us in person for Frontiers 2013! Just click on the image of the student below to see their interview in its entirety.

Craig Prime July 24 at 7:50pm
thanks to the Chippewa Banks DGC for sponsoring the tee signs at Old Airport DGC. Even though the signs are just laminated paper, they do the job and will easily be replaced if they go away. The tee pad fund grows every week with donations left by visitors to the course. Ron is doing a great job and loves doing it.
I agree the signs get the job done. I managed to play the first part of the course before history repeated itself and rain chased me away. I've yet to play the whole thing. :(
Joe D June 23 at 6:36pm
I am interested in possibly building a full sized course 18 to 24 holes on 70 acres of property in Sanford. The salt River runs through some densely wooded land, there is elevation and plenty of space I'd like someone with experience planning and designing courses.

Large tree down across the path from 7 to 8. Huge tree down on 9 blocking the fairway. Kudos to whoever replanted the hole marker on 14, it had been pulled up but someone put it back. We are going to need some volunteers to make the course playable again but atm we can't even get to some of this to work on it.

Opportunity for State Berths at Sanford this Friday, June 15th. If you've played Sanford leagues twice, it costs $10, once is $15, none yet, then $20. Check it out under Events on the Sanford Lake course page.
Fred Vocino May 22, 2012 at 8:24pm
Being a "dog" from Grand Rapids, I was sniffing around for a tourney and noticed a "red herring" on the DGS site regarding directions. You might get the DGS guys to fix it. My comment on the course and tourney pages was this.
The "Driving directions" on the Course page and the "Get directions" on the About page for the upcoming tourney get you to a credit union in Mt. Pleasant. The following URL is copied from the "update course info" page for this course. It looks good.

Atlanta airport opens new international terminal
ATLANTA -- The world's busiest airport gets bigger today when Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport opens its new international terminal that's being touted as the city's "new front door" for the world.
The $1.4 billion terminal adds only 12 gates to an airport that already has 195. But local officials say the new terminal — titled the Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal — is necessary to keep Atlanta and its airport at the forefront of global aviation.
"I think it's very important," Louis Miller, the airport's general manager, says. "We've got to look toward the future."

Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura collaborated with Onionlab from Barcelona to create a video-audio installation titled "Towards Biology" as part of the "Time Space Existence" exhibition at the soon-to-conclude Venice Biennale 2014 in Italy.

The exhibition explores going beyond the physical existence of La Fábrica -- the repurposed cement factory in Barcelona that has served as the Taller de Arquitectura's creative headquarters and Ricardo Bofill's private residence since the mid-1970s -- and reimagines it in different contexts, specifically in Venice.

In "Towards Biology", the rotunda-shaped screen draws in viewers to listen and watch a poetic narrative about La Fábrica, which symbolizes the fundamentals of Taller de Arquitectura and the firm's approaches to architecture.

Unesco, which for too long has been silent on the growing environmental threat to Venice and its evident mismanagement, as revealed by the exposure of massive corruption in the construction of its flood barriers, has at last shown its teeth. At the meeting of its World Heritage Committee in Doha this June it passed important resolutions that show that it intends to call the Italian government to account and put Venice on its World Heritage at Risk list if it is not satisfied.

The Holocaust museum planned for Rome since 2005 could open next year in a new, bigger location at EUR, named after the Esposizione Universale Roma, in time to mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. After almost a decade of delay and €15m spent to acquire a plot of land, the first Museo della Shoah quietly stalled before construction even started.

The US pavilion is one of 147 participating countries responding to the expo's theme, "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life", which addresses global issues regarding food security, access and waste, and the challenging prospect of nutritiously feeding 9 billion people by 2050.

Highlighting America's role in the global food system, the barn-inspired pavilion includes features like a a harvestable vertical farm, food trucks, and a boardwalk.

The practice of using corporate largess to finance restoration projects for public antiquities was once fairly rare here. But with the nation struggling with a stagnant economy and crushing public debt — Rome is flirting off and on with bankruptcy — politicians are now looking to private companies and international sources to help preserve Italy's cultural heritage.

American/German architectural practice Barkow Leibinger is back at the Venice Biennale with "Kinetic Wall". Specifically designed for this year's Biennale, the prototype highlights the evolution of wall-making while also standing as an ode to the 20th century fantasy of kinetic architecture -- or architecture that can move. Kinetic Wall is currently on display in the Wall Room at the "Elements of Architecture" exhibition in the Venice Biennale.

Boeri Studio will soon realize the dream of the forest tower with Bosco Verticale, or Vertical Forest -- and they're building two. The thought of a tower "built" out of living greenery has been rendered by architects numerous times, it has reached the point where it's considered a trope of green architecture. But from an idealistic view, seeing the tree-tower design get past the planning stage and move toward completion is quite refreshing, if not intriguing, to say the least.

Located in Milan's redeveloping complex of Porta Nuova Isola, Vertical Forest was designed to help alleviate the city's increasing air pollution problem and provide a biological urban habitat in a total area of 40,000 m2.

The towers -- at 110 meters and 76 meters tall -- allegedly have 900 trees (measuring between 3m-6m) already planted in the residential balconies, along with 5,000 shrubs and 11,000 floral plants on terraces up to the 27th floor. As described by the studio, the vast number of plants will not on...

Designed to be an autonomous community, the top of the bridge would serve as a pedestrian walkway with a section cordoned off for cars. Below, self-sustaining residences, shops, and leisure centers would be built into the bridges' support structures. The concept imagines residents living comfortably in the neighborhoods created within the upside-down towers, all while enjoying the view of the Calabrian countryside.

Here's another look at what to expect at the Milan Expo in 2015. As part of the Expo's Future Food District project, the Urban Algae Canopy shows the great potential of micro algae organisms for integrative greener, cleaner bio-digital architecture. London-based ecoLogicStudio designed the pavilion in collaboration with local architect Cesare Griffa.

Full-scale prototypes of the pavilion are currently being previewed at the INTERNI 'Feeding New Ideas for the City' exhibition at Cortile d'Onore, University of Milan, Festa del Perdono happening until April 18.

Once it's fully built, the canopy will be able to produce oxygen equivalent to 4 hectares of woodland and up to 150kg of biomass per day -- 60% of which are natural vegetal proteins.

Renzo Piano, the award-winning architect who gave London the Shard and Paris the Pompidou centre, has been granted one of his country's highest honours, being named a senator for life by the Italian president. Giorgio Napolitano said the 75-year-old was among four distinguished Italians whose achievements in the cultural and scientific fields would allow them to contribute to the nation's parliament "in absolute independence of any party political considerations".

That the Antinori family embraced a more ambitious project, allowed Archea to design everything down to the furniture and fittings, then paid the bills after the budget more than doubled from its original $45 million, and also endured years of delays because of construction problems, shows how much fine, successful architecture depends on the right client.

 Open letter to Giuliano Pisapia, Mayor of Milan, from the international community of arts & culture...

 Dear Mayor Pisapia,

 It is with regret and disappointment that we learn that Stefano Boeri was dismissed from his position as Councillor for Design, Fashion and Culture for the city of Milan.

 Thanks to the energy and commitment of Boeri, and despite the deepening of the gravest crisis to have faced Italy since the postwar years, since 2011 Milan has succeded in projecting an image of renewed cultural vibrancy and dynamism onto the international stage. Thanks to Boeri's many initiatives—citywide events such as Book City and Piano City, or international exhibitions of internationally renowned artists such as the Marina Abramovic, Picasso, Bramantino, Alberto Garutti and Jeff Wall—Milan had finally succeeded in reaffirming itself forcefully on the international stage as an epicentre of art, design, fashion and culture.

Luxury fashion will meet Roman architecture as Italian fashion house Fendi has pledged €2.1 million to restore five of Rome's beloved fountains, including the iconic Trevi Fountain. Fendi, founded in Rome in the 1920s, is now part of French luxury giant LVMH. The fashion house opted to invest in restoring one of Rome's architectural treasures due to a self-described "deep bond with the Eternal City."

Back in 2011 we reported on the Bosco Verticale — a new superstructure designed to bring the world's first vertical forest to Milan, Italy. While many were skeptical when it came to the feasibility of construction, Boeri Studio reports that the structure is certainly more than just a fantasy - in fact it's well on its way to being completed this year.

Eighteen feet below one of Rome's most-trafficked junctions is a 900-seat arts center dating back to the second-century reign of Emperor Hadrian, Italian archaeologists have announced. The discovery, widely seen as the most important in Rome in 80 years, came as a result of digging for the city's third subway line. Archeologists spent the last five years excavating two halls of the structure under the Piazza Venezia, which is believed to be an arts center, or auditorium, built by Hadrian.

 HOK has been selected as lead architect for the Ri.MED Biomedical Research and Biotechnology Center (BRBC) near Palermo, Sicily, in Southern Italy. HOK's team was selected from a field of 14 entrants in an international design competition.

 Plans for the 334,000-square-foot (31,000-square-meter) facility were unveiled on Nov. 27 in Palermo, Sicily, in an event attended by Italian political leaders including Prime Minister Mario Monti and Rosario Crocetta, president of the Region of Sicily. Leaders from UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), the University of Pittsburgh, the Ri.MED Foundation and HOK also attended the event.

 The $269 million (210 million-euro), world-class research facility will be a global hub for biomedical research and development.

Italian architect, designer and teacher Gae Aulenti died late on Wednesday at her Milan home. She was 85 years old and had been ill for some time. Born in Palazzolo della Stella near the northern city of Udine, Aulenti trained as an architect at Milan's Polytechnical University graduating in 1959 and quickly became one of the few well-recognized women working in Italian postwar design.

Nursery Planning
Sunday, August 14, 2011
Today I decided that I should start collecting all of my random nursery thoughts & start putting together a plan for what I want to do with the big empty white room upstairs. I want to get some of the basic items picked out & in the room so that I can focus on accessorizing! We wont know the gender for sure until September 7th, our big 3D/4D ultrasound, so none of the accessories can be bought until then anyway.
Every single nursery picture that I love has something in common: a white Jenny Lind crib. This is the one must-have item for the nursery & I am so excited to get it in the room! The three other must have items that I love include:
Tissue Poms for the mobile
white changing table - hopefully something unique that we can repurpose
tallboy dresser - thinking an antique dark wood
This has always been my favorite nursery inspiration picture! Soooo loving the poms, will probably do blues & whites if it is a boy, but definitely these colors if it is a girl!
The other thing I really want is super colorful crib bedding!! I love how whimsical this nursery looks with the white vintage crib & the bunting banner. I love the mix of patterns, I have been scoping out some pretty amazing Amy Butler fabrics lately & hope to get some custom made bedding when we are ready!
I also LOVE the nursery below with the Jenny Lind crib & all of the fun, colorful artwork in the white frames! MUST paint something for the nursery. I'm sure I will go in with the intentions of creating something super elaborate & will end up with a silhouette of a giraffe on a canvas. I love the look of mixing modern prints & frames with vintage furniture. That is exactly the type of the nursery that I hope to create!
I will be spending the next few days
eating bucketloads of poptarts & garlic bread scoping out craigslist in search of the perfect pieces for the room... so stay tuned!

Jessica - sorry to comment on a post from so long ago, but do you remember where you found the second photo on this post? I love the bedding and it's exactly what I'd want if I find out I'm having a little girl! It's been pinned a bunch of times - but all leading back to your site. Any help would be great! Congratulations on little Harper! She's beautiful and so is her name!ReplyDelete
