An Architectural Gem in Germany is Reborn
For architects Winfried Brenne and Franz Jaschke, restoring the 80-year-old ADGB Trade Union School, in Germany, was a case of subtraction. "The building was not in worse condition than others we had worked with," Brenne says, "but it was more hidden under changes made over time."
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
For three decades, their Berlin-based firm, Brenne Gesellschaft von Architekten, has been restoring and adapting Modernist structures. Their first job, in 1978, entailed renovating social-housing complexes designed by Bruno Taut. They have since worked on buildings by Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, and Erich Mendelsohn, among other influential architects.
In 1999, the firm won an invited competition to renovate the ADGB, a yellow-brick complex designed by Hannes Meyer—who, from 1928 to 1930, served a controversial stint as the director of Bauhaus—and his colleague Hans Wittwer. For their work in sensitively resurrecting the structures for contemporary use, the World Monuments Fund (WMF) recently awarded Brenne and Jaschke its first-ever Modernism Prize, a new prong in its two-year-old Modernism at Risk campaign, cosponsored by Knoll. In a statement, WMF president Bonnie Burnham called the project a "superb restoration" that she hopes "will inspire the preservation and restoration of other great Modern buildings."
Located in Bernau, Germany, ADGB was designed for the Federal School of the German Workers' Unions and completed in 1930. "We discovered a new combination of materials and colors," Jaschke says of the functionalist design. Built on a 12-acre site, the school comprises a network of buildings containing administrative, dormitory, classroom, meeting, and gymnasium spaces, as well as a dining hall with a glass-block ceiling. The complex's two flanks are connected by five dormitory volumes that step back from one another; this series is edged by an external corridor fabricated of glass and red-painted steel.
The campus operated for only three years as a trade school before the Nazi party claimed it for SS training. After World War II, the East German Trade Union Federation—a union group—took it over for educating its members, and made significant alterations and additions: a wooden parapet substituted glass in the external corridor, for instance, and a suspended ceiling concealed the cafeteria's glass blocks. These modifications made the original design unrecognizable. "We know of colleagues that went there," Jaschke says, "and said they didn't find it, because it was so hidden under changes they hadn't even imagined."
The campus was off-limits to the public, and historians didn't even know it existed until the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. A decade later, in 1999, Brenne Gesellschaft von Architekten won an invited, Europe-wide competition to restore the complex, which over the years had been vacated and neglected. The Province of Brandenburg and the Handwerkskammer Berlin (Chamber of Crafts) agreed to reopen it, once again as a trade school. The crafts organization paid one-quarter of the €28 million project cost, while the remainder was funded publicly.
The design team focused on restoring the most important features in the original design. For instance, a stairway lined with trapezoidal windows, which had been walled off in concrete, was returned to its original exuberant condition. The architects also demolished a masonry addition, replacing it with a semicircular winter garden that had been there in 1930. They made code updates, and left their own creative mark in places like the lobby, where the yellow-brick walls were too damaged to restore. There, they overlaid the old surface with integral-color cement panels whose green, yellow, blue, and red stripes reference the palette of the dormitories.
ADGB reopened in January and is now filled to its 109-student capacity. WMF executive vice president Henry Ng says the greatest threat facing Modernist buildings is a "lack of public will," and this project shows how valuable these structures can be. "There are buildings that people think may be obsolete," he says, "but with a commitment on the part of the owner, they can be returned to leading viable, sustainable lives. We're hoping this encourages people to make that happen."

Lipomassage is an FDA approved, mechanized technique, combining regulated suction and two rollers to symmetrically fold and unfold the skin. As the deepest layer of fat becomes less adhesive and less glutinous, blood flow increases, allowing the metabolic byproducts to pass through the body the way it's supposed to. At the same time, the fibers that connect the skin to the muscle are being stretched back to where they should be.
Through repeated treatments, the fat cells shrink and reshape. Shrinking fat cells plus stretching connective tissue and the elimination of trapped fluids… That's the magic of Lipomassage by Endermologie.

The 18 Mistakes That Kill Startups. October 2006 In the Q & A period after a recent talk, someone asked what made startups fail.
After standing there gaping for a few seconds I realized this was kind of a trick question. It's equivalent to asking how to make a startup succeed—if you avoid every cause of failure, you succeed—and that's too big a question to answer on the fly. Afterwards I realized it could be helpful to look at the problem from this direction.

How to Fund a Startup. November 2005 Venture funding works like gears. A typical startup goes through several rounds of funding, and at each round you want to take just enough money to reach the speed where you can shift into the next gear. Few startups get it quite right. Many are underfunded. A few are overfunded, which is like trying to start driving in third gear. Y Combinator. Apple's Mistake. November 2009 I don't think Apple realizes how badly the App Store approval process is broken. Or rather, I don't think they realize how much it matters that it's broken. The way Apple runs the App Store has harmed their reputation with programmers more than anything else they've ever done.
Their reputation with programmers used to be great. It used to be the most common complaint you heard about Apple was that their fans admired them too uncritically.

The Independence Town Council has appointed the older brother of the Tangipahoa Parish sheriff as
police chief in the wake of a federal prosecutor filing charges against the former elected chief.
In a unanimous vote Monday, the council voted to appoint 50-year-old Frank Edwards III as police chief to serve until a candidate is elected to fill the unexpired term of Anthony P. Maurer.
Edwards will head a police force with six full-time officers and five part-time officers.
The council also accepted the resignation of Maurer.
Federal prosecutors in New Orleans filed charges against Maurer in connection with people not registered to vote casting ballots in the Feb. 9, 2008, election.

One of the Philippines' notable chefs, Ariel Manuel of the famed (and recently-closed) Lolo Dad's, headlines The Maya Kitchen's cooking demo on June 21, Saturday, 9am-1pm.
In keeping with his philosophy of adhering to 'Simplicity of Flavors,' Chef Ariel will whip up the following dishes:
– Salmon Sardine with Fresh Garlic Croutons
– Romaine Caesar Salad
– White Onion Soup
-Shellfish Open Lasagne
– Mediterranean Duck Rice
– Mixed Fresh Fruits with Vanilla Ice Cream, Rock Salt and Extra Virgin Olive Oil
We're warned not to be fooled by the seemingly simple dishes. The Caesar Salad, for example, comes with a dressing that is cooked and keeps for a week. The onion soup comes with a gruyere topping and for a real knock out flavor, Chef Ariel recommends using French Muscovy duck breasts.

ICP-Bard MFA
The ICP-Bard Program in Advanced Photographic Studies offers a rigorous exploration of all aspects of photography through an integrated curriculum of professional and studio practice, critical study, and Resident Artist Projects.
Apply online.
Currently Accepting Applications
All applicants should apply online at www.icp.slideroom.com.
Information Sessions

You can also join an online information session. View the upcoming schedule.
About the Program
The ICP-Bard Program offers an exploration into the ways in which the photograph operates in society. The 60 credits required for the master of fine arts degree cover the production of a final solo exhibition of original artwork, participation in a final group exhibition, a cumulative publication, as well as the completion of class assignments and internships. The ICP-Bard approach emphasizes creative vision and openness to examining the many iterations of the image, from photography to digital imaging, installation, and video. By considering how photographs are created, presented, discussed, used, and documented, students gain an intimate knowledge of the ways in which images increasingly structure modern society and consciousness.
The graduate seminars, which are led by ICP-Bard core faculty members, blend in-depth study, intensive discussions, and individual work. Students also gain an understanding of the role of art historians by working with ICP's curatorial team and the Museum's extensive archives. In doing so, students learn how exhibitions are curated, archives are maintained, and research is conducted. In the Resident Artist projects and internships, students learn firsthand from contemporary artists about the practical conditions of making art and innovative approaches to photographic practice. With its strong emphasis on writing and publication, the program encourages students to articulate the relationship between their practice and that of other artists. Through ongoing studio work, critiques, and internships, students challenge their ideas and test new approaches to image making, synthesizing the program's varied experiences and defining their own ways of working.
Throughout the program, students receive individualized attention and support from a distinguished and dedicated core faculty, as well as noted visiting artists, and mentors with whom students intern. Visiting faculty include practicing artists, scholars, critics, historians and vary from year to year.
The Curriculum
Studio Practice
The foundation of the program, studio practice is a seminar in which students integrate what they are experiencing and learning into their own creative work. Through ongoing studio assignments, group critiques, and one-on-one meetings with faculty, students develop their photographic work and define a personal approach to their practice. A final exhibition of original work, presented at the end of the second year, is required for graduation.
Critical Study
In these topical seminars, students focus on theoretical and critical issues in the history of photography. Working with historians, editors, photographers, and ICP curatorial staff, students engage in research, writing, and curatorial activities. Students' own writing charts the development of their ideas about photography in relation to the work of other photographers. A written thesis, which serves as an anthology of two years of critical coursework and professional practice, is required for graduation.
Professional Practice
Internships are an integral part of the program, enabling students to gain practical exposure to various aspects of the field. First-year students are required to intern for individual photographers/artists. Second year students are required to intern with photographic and media- based organizations, such as museums, photo agencies, and magazines. All students are expected to report on their internship in classroom discussions and to record these experiences as part of their final written thesis.
Resident Artist Projects
Each semester, prominent photographers and critics work with MFA students in focused, project-oriented seminars, exposing the students to a wide range of styles and career paths. Each class provides in-depth examination of photographic techniques and emerging issues in photography, as well as group and one-on-one critiques of student work. By engaging in projects that reflect the visiting instructors' aesthetic, students come to understand the implications of art making in different contexts.
Once admitted, ICP-Bard students must earn a total of 60 graduate credits in two years, 30 credits per year, in order to receive the master of fine arts degree. At the end of every year, a board of ICP-Bard faculty members reviews each student's achievements. Credits are awarded or withheld at the board's discretion.

On this day, poet John Keats, age 24, coughs up blood and realizes he, like his brother Tom, is doomed to die of tuberculosis. Despite the tender care of his fiancÝe, Fanny Brawne, and a journey to Italy in the hopes of improving his condition, he dies in February 1821, only 25 years old. But in that short time, he achieved a remarkable reputation as a leading poet.
Unlike many writers of his day, Keats came from a lower-middle-class background. His father worked at a stable in London and eventually married the owners' daughter. John was the first of the couple's five children. At private school, John was high-spirited and boisterous, given to fist fights and roughhousing despite his small stature-even as an adult, he was barely over five feet tall. Keats' schoolmasters encouraged his interest in reading and later introduced him to poetry and theater.
When John was eight, his father died after falling off a horse, launching a long economic struggle that would keep Keats in poverty throughout his life, despite the large inheritance due him. His mother quickly remarried, and the five Keats children were sent to live with their maternal grandparents. The marriage failed, and their mother soon joined them. However, she died in 1810, and John's grandparents died by 1814. An unscrupulous guardian kept the Keats children away from their money and apprenticed John to a surgeon in 1811. Keats worked with the surgeon until 1814, then went to work for a hospital in London as a junior apothecary and surgeon in charge of dressing wounds.
In London, Keats pursued his interest in literature while working at the hospital. He became friends with the editor of the Examiner, Leigh Hunt, a successful poet and author who introduced him to other literary figures, including Percy Bysshe Shelley. Although Keats did not write his first poem until age 18, he quickly showed tremendous promise, encouraged by Hunt and his circle. Keats' work first appeared in the Examiner on this day in 1816, followed by Keats' first book, Poems (1817). After 1817, Keats devoted himself entirely to poetry, becoming a master of the Romantic sonnet and trying his hand at epic poems like Hyperion.
In 1818, Keats' brother Tom fell ill with tuberculosis. Another brother's poor investment left him stranded and penniless in Kentucky. Keats' economic struggles worsened, and a strenuous walking tour of England's Lake District damaged his health. The one bright spot in his life was Fanny Brawne, a young woman with whom he fell madly in love. They became engaged, but Keats' poverty did not allow them to marry. From January to September 1819, Keats produced an outpouring of brilliant work, including poems like "Ode on a Grecian Urn," "Ode to a Nightingale," and "La Belle Dame Sans Merci."

SMSF contributions down by nearly 20pc in year to June, survey finds
PUBLISHED: 20 Aug 2013 09:04:27 | UPDATED: 22 Aug 2013 00:45:22PUBLISHED: 20 Aug 2013 PRINT EDITION: 22 Aug 2013Sally Patten
Superannuation contributions by self-managed schemes fell nearly a fifth in the 12 months to June after annual contributions caps were reduced for savers over the age of 50.
A survey by self-managed super fund administration company Multiport found DIY fund trustees injected $35,200 into super last year, down from an average of $47,500 in 2011-12.
Despite the lower contribution levels, the strong equity markets and falling interest rates prompted a switch out of cash into more risky investments.
During the year, the proportion of self-managed super funds invested in cash plummeted 26 per cent to 22 per cent of a typical portfolio, while those invested in shares and bonds rose 5 per cent to 37.5 per cent of an average portfolio and 16 per cent to 12.2 per cent of a portfolio respectively.
"The timing of these investments was heavily influenced by the reductions in official interest rates and sentiment about future movements and new capital raisings via bank issued subordinated notes," said AMP SMSF administration head of technical services Philip LaGreca.
"The decrease in the cash sector is principally due to the decrease in short-term rates, showing maturing deposits are not being rolled over. 'True' cash is now approaching a level that would seem to be consistent with the common strategy for pension accounts, of holding liquids equivalent to two to three years' worth of pension payments," said Mr LaGreca.

Today's businesses are under closer scrutiny than ever before: from carbon emissions, increased financial disclosure to human rights records, in a digitally engaged world, no single issue exists in isolation.
Edelman's Sustainability team helps our clients navigate the path to sustainable business so that ecological, social, ethical and economic wellbeing are at the heart of a company's decision making and corporate reputation.
Edelman firmly believes that being a sustainable business is about measurable and effective strategy and execution at the intersection of three domains:
- what a company sells (its products/services)
- how it operates (its governance and supply chain)

We work with organisations to navigate the landscape at any stage – from cradle back to cradle – from strategic counsel to tactical implementation.
Our services include:
- Strategic counsel and peer-to-peer sounding board
- Multi-stakeholder engagement programmes
- Employee change management
- Thought leadership platforms
- Corporate Responsibility reporting
- Advice on public policy and policy development
- Issues tracking and monitoring
The opportunities for organisations to genuinely develop and communicate a sustainable business model can create value through helping to cut costs, drive innovation and growth, reduce risk, motivate employees, increase customer loyalty and enhance reputation with key public and regulatory audiences.

Law professor helps inmate gain freedom
Public Relations
- Published: September 9, 2013
Professor Leonard N. Sosnov
Milton Scarborough had spent half his 73-year life in prison for a triple murder he said he did not commit and knew nothing about.
Throughout his 36 years behind bars, he steadfastly maintained his innocence in the 1976 north-central Pennsylvania shooting of a mother and two young children. And while his innocence has never been established in a court of law, he is now a free man due in large part to Widener Law Professor
Leonard N. Sosnov
Sosnov began representing Scarborough almost three years ago through Centurion Ministries, a New Jersey-based nonprofit dedicated to freeing innocent people sentenced to life imprisonment or death.
It was about that time that things started heating up in Scarborough's case. New information arose and the only eyewitness recanted. That eyewitness, John Shafer, originally testified he went to the victims' home with Scarborough and two other men who are brothers to commit a robbery.
Recently Shafer – who never served prison time – said he had been promised lenient treatment decades ago in exchange for favorable testimony, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. He has since recanted his testimony and now says Scarborough was not present at the crime and played no role in the killings, Sosnov said.
"It's been on his conscience all these years," Sosnov said.
In addition, two other witnesses have emerged, claiming another man in Florida admitted to the killings. There was also a pending motion for DNA testing of physical evidence from the crime scene. These developments, along with a legal battle over what Sosnov maintained was a prosecution's failure to turn over evidence that would have been helpful to Scarborough's defense at trial, and a previous defense attorney's failure to address that in a timely fashion, had Scarborough hoping for a new trial.
Sosnov knew that could take years, if he was able to convince a judge to grant it. He also knew prosecutors would fight hard against the idea of a retrial, given the challenging task of reprosecuting a 1976 case. So, he proposed a deal that Lycoming County prosecutors agreed to: having served more than half of his 30-to-60 year sentence, Scarborough would be resentenced to time served, but retain his conviction, withdraw all appeals and remain on probation.
"It's a fair compromise for both sides," Sosnov said. "It's bittersweet because you always hope you can prove a person's innocence, but I feel very good we got Milton his freedom."
Sosnov said his client told him he had been offered lenient treatment to cooperate, much like Shafer, back in the 1970s.
"He turned it down, saying 'How can I testify when I don't know anything?'" Sosnov said. Given that, Scarborough was reluctant to agree to the resentencing deal at first, but given his failing health and the prospect of more years of legal wrangling he reconsidered.
"He just felt, practically speaking, it was worth having his freedom now," Sosnov said.
Scarborough was released Aug. 23 and is living with his niece, who grew up watching her late father – Scarborough's brother – fight to prove his innocence. Sosnov has not seen Scarborough since the release, but he has been in email contact and has enjoyed seeing a digital photograph of his client smiling, in a motorized wheelchair enjoying his new home.
"It was a heck of a lot of work, but I did it because this is what I'm interested in – people who are very likely innocent and need help," he said.
In his 23 years teaching on the Delaware campus, Sosnov's work with Centurion Ministries has also brought about the release of four other inmates who had long maintained their innocence. He worked on Scarborough's case with fellow defense attorney David Rudovsky. Both provided their representation pro bono.

Retailer Wrap: Best Buy (BBY) Pulls Back, Big 5 (BGFV) and Cabela's (CAB)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Best Buy (BBY - Get Report) shares have backed-off from its year high set earlier this month after falling 1.2% to $37.54 as of 12 p.m. EST, lower than its mid-September high of $39.28. Best Buy shares are up 216% in 2013 compared to an 18% advance for the S&P 500 Index.
Best Buy's turnaround is largely credited to CEO Hubert Joly's successful strategic decisions over the year, including trimming $390 million in expenses from the balance sheet and making in-store space available to vendors Samsung and Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report). Market researcher ShopperTrak estimates a year-on-year 2.4% increase in holiday season retail sales for the upcoming period, with electronics stores such as Best Buy outperforming.
Sports retailer Big 5 Sporting Goods (BGFV - Get Report) has had a comparatively steadier 2013 with the share price up 22.2% in 2013 thanks to solid growth in sales. For the second quarter ended July 30, Big 5 reported an increase in net sales to $239.9 million, compared to $226.6 million for the year-ago quarter and same-store sales increased 4.4% over second quarter 2012. Big 5 shares were 0.12% lower to $16.04 as of 12 p.m. EST.
TheStreet Ratings team rates Big 5 Sporting Goods as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate Big 5 Sporting Goods a BUY. This is driven by a number of strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, revenue growth and reasonable valuation levels. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: BGFV Ratings Report

All the time, I'm either settling with the latest biggest iMac, or sticking with PC idea because of having an $800 NEC monitor that keeps me in the PC world (feel stupid to put it into storage, don't need two monitors, etc.).
If PC, I nailed it down to two cases (hours of search):
- Shuttle SX58H7 - Lian Li PC-V351
BTW, I want something fairly silent, too.
I have all hardware pieces already on the list, satisfying both power and silence desire. Silent graphic card, two Velociraptor 300GB RAIDed drives, etc. I'll have new EX495 HP MediaSmart in my back room for data, and also for movies, music, photos played on the TV.
I wonder if anyone has any experience with such small cases. They seem to be fairly new on the market.
Or, if anyone can say something strong, to finally drag me onto the Mac side that I've never been at (I would still run Windows on it, at least for Office).
these actually arn't new on the market, shuttles have been around for about 8 years i've built many many many shuttles and as long as you are happy with what you build the 1st time and arn't looking to keep upgrading and adding hardware..you are stuck with that space so that is the only downside to the smaller computers.
what processor are you looking at running?
the mac minis and imacs are just running a core 2 duo (lame) apple thinks if you wanna go fast you have to buy a mac pro and you have to live with the processor they deem to be (fast)
that shuttle with a core i7 on the x58 chip set will FLY!
Those specific models are.
Core i7 with 6 or 8 GB of RAM.
SSD - I learned that there are two types of which one is "slow" and other fast. The fast one is quite expensive and of limited choice, small in capacity as well.
One of these days I'm going to treat myself to a wall mounting bracket.
easier to upgrade ABLE to upgrade period (besides just ram) much easier to work on cheaper replacement parts
small is good, but too small isn't good. you get stuck in a place where what you purchased is the end of the road and if you want anything better you gota buy a WHOLE new one. Which i guess is good for the hardware companies that sell you these nice small shiney things but they arn't good for the consumers wallet.
I hopped more WW end users would "show up" here with their comments about "silent" cubes (like buckworks about his iMac).
I'll have to make a cut about that cube some of these days... or figure something about this 19" monitor so I can put the latest 24" iMac onto my desk and run VMware on it.
best of both worlds.
I'm used to Macs that do everything I want straight out of the box. Discussion about upgrade ability is foreign territory for me; it's not something I even think about.
But I'm curious about "shuttle form factor".
must like ATX, micro-ATX etc
shuttle case, shuttle form factor board.
Shuttle is just a brand which has its own proprietary stuff when about motherboards and maybe power supplies. You pick the processor and cards like video, hard drives, etc.
The smallest size that supports powerful Intel processors today is �ATX Form Factor (usually spelled as uATX or microATX - notice the "micro" character).
the choice of "case" usually determines the choice of mother board "mobo" ..unless its apple where the badge decides the hardware
Somebody complained about power when they put ASUS NVIDIA 250 GTS with 2 Western Digital hard drives and Pioneer BlueRay Drive.
Any known case that hardware could not be supported by its power supply?
the model you picked out has a 500 watt so i'd say you are safe and wouldn't worry about it. (but i also wouldn't put anymore HW then that inside)
thats probably because you've been a long time mac user and by design they really don't want you upgrading your computer, and as you can see they design their computers around this as well.... where as PC people have always been keen to say hmm its running a little sluggish time for a ram upgrade and tune up. MAYBE even a processor upgrade if it would fit their MB and they'd have a NICE performance bump and keep using the computer for a few more years with MORE speed. same with video cards, feel your computer lagging behind with the current games? well lets pick you out a nice new video card or maybe even an SLI/xfire setup and keep you in the game a little longer before you gota rebuild! MAC just wants you to barf up some cash every few years when they say you need a new computer. So its not really a question of what your computer do straight outa the box today sure any computer can do what you need straight outa the box...im talking about can it keep pace 3 years from now?
go find out what kinda ram your mac takes and double it (if your mother board allows) and i think you'll see why its important.
maybe its just me but i feel no matter how much the person pays I always want them to have room to grow so they can keep that computer they invested the money in the longest. I don't like seeing people blow 1000 bux every 2 years just cause.
I see all the big box HW guys and what they throw on the market and I don't like it a bit, its not right for dell or HP to sell you a just went obsolete computer TODAY when you could have paid the same amount and got something faster and better with head room. uh and you didn't get ripped off!
For me it's a lot more productive to take that approach than to use up time trying to tweak hardware. It lets me stay focused on the activities that put money in my pocket.
I don't play games, although checking my earnings stats feels that way sometimes.
I don't tinker with my car, either, FWIW.
I always max out the RAM when i order the computer in the first place. Then I don't think about it after that.
BTW what is the current max of your apple?

Steinsmith drove to CenterOne. "I saw this amazingly handsome counselor, and he looked at me," says Steinsmith. "He looked healthy. He asked me, "Do you have AIDS?' and I didn't respond. "Do you have AIDS?' he kept asking. I said "Yes' finally, and he said, "Me too.' It was like I just let everything go right then and started to live."
Steinsmith threw himself into activism, spending most of his time volunteering at CenterOne and lobbying state politicians for gay-friendly legislation. Like-minded advocates gathered at his home every week. One of those people was a fast-talking, leather-jacketed, 23-year-old ex-flight attendant named Brad Buchman.
"He just showed up one night and started smoking in my living room," recalls Steinsmith, sounding like a teenager describing a high school romance. "I told him he had to put [the cigarette] out, and he told me to get over it. So you can understand how fast I fell head over heels." For four years, he and Buchman were lovers. They also worked together, in 1991 forming United Citizens for Human Rights, which raised thousands of dollars for South Florida AIDS charities. Steinsmith jokingly admits Buchman's influence over him was so great that "I registered as a Democrat. It was the most painful but necessary thing in the world. Brad was very smooth."
The two sometimes fought, and Trantalis says Buchman was "unrestrained at times." The heated relationship with Buchman triggered episodes of depression, something Steinsmith had been formally diagnosed with in his 20s. But Steinsmith, always "on" at public functions, hid the condition from most of his political colleagues. Trantalis says he lost touch with Steinsmith around this time.
Steven Steiner, an early South Florida gay-rights advocate and current CenterOne board member, remembers that Steinsmith would "be at every party and then at none at all for months at a time. That was just the way it worked with Gary. He would disappear like that. You would hear things like, "Oh, Gary's visiting his family.' No one was concerned because there was this assumption that he had a close group of friends watching out for him."
But Steinsmith's friends were all but gone. As a spokesperson for CenterOne in 1991, he weathered public pressure to dismantle the agency after a state audit revealed that $146,000 meant to pay for housing was missing. CenterOne was not shuttered thanks to, among other things, efforts by Steinsmith and his friend, CenterOne public relations talent Matthew Klir. But Steinsmith was left to handle the next crisis on his own when Klir died in 1992.
At home, Steinsmith's relationship with Buchman became even stormier. Steinsmith was hounded by the media in 1994 when his lover, then president of the Dolphin Democratic Club, admitted to withdrawing $2500 from Steinsmith's bank account. Four months later, following his breakup with Buchman, Steinsmith buried friend and substance-abuse counselor William Schwartz. Two more great losses were ahead: In 1997, Buchman, who'd turned to cocaine and liquor to numb the effects of his own HIV-positive status, was found shirtless, barefoot, and dead in a friend's garage. And in September 2000, another ex-lover, 41-year-old Barry Teeters, an activist and club promoter, died from an overdose. With Steinsmith, Teeter had cofounded the Fort Lauderdale Chapter of ACT UP. "Those were what I call his hell years," says Valerie Steinsmith. "I'm sure Gary did a good job looking like he was OK. But he was really, really depressed."
True to form, Steinsmith dealt with loss by embracing his public persona. In 1998, he became Dolphin Club president and formed a political consulting firm that was hired to help Democratic state Sen. Steve Geller of Hallandale Beach turn out the gay vote. Says Geller: "Gary was the most recognized gay leader in maybe the state."
The only people who offer an explanation for Steinsmith's downfall are friends from Alcoholics Anonymous. Allan Derning, a friend and regular hospital visitor, believes the attacks September 11 probably triggered Steinsmith's erratic behavior.
"I called him about 7 that night, and he'd been sleeping all day," Derning says. The next day, Steinsmith bought American flags to hang in each corner of his home so that he could salute them at every turn. Steinsmith began calling other AA friends in the middle of the night, muttering gibberish, swearing, and making wild claims.
"He was saying that he was going to bring me onto his Cabinet when he was the president of the United States," Derning recalls. "Another one was that bin Laden had moved into the apartment next door."
A week after the attacks, Steinsmith invested thousands of dollars from his savings in the stock market. He went on a shopping spree, purchasing two gold bracelets, a watch, a gold ring, and two wedding bands. ("For the future," he now says.) He also walked into Alpine Motors on Sunrise Boulevard and leased an $85,000, silver, 2002 XK convertible.
"I wanted to do something for our country," he explains. His voice is shaky, and he nearly breaks down crying. All of a sudden, he straighten ups, wipes his eyes, and says directly, "I'm a gay man with AIDS, so I can't serve in the military. I thought, "I'm going to help the economy like President Bush is saying.'"

From the Archives: Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Series: Reviewing "Darwin's Doubt" (11 entries)
Series: Creation, Evolution, and the Over-Active Imagination (2 entries)
"The Language of God" Book Club – Chapter 4
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
Evolution: What We Know and What We Don't
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
God's Extravagant Love in Creation
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
Evolution and Immunity: Same Story?
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order (6 entries)
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Death and Rebirth: The Role of Extinction in Evolution
When they imagine evolution, many Christians picture novelty: new species arising over time, or speciation events. But as the most recent Southern Baptist Voices exchange makes clear, many Christians also focus on the role of death in evolution—something that can be a stumbling block.
Evolution, Creation, and The Sting of Death: Part 3
It is one thing to say that death is primordial; it is another to view it as the central means of creation. The theological uneasiness about this issue ultimately rests not just on an understanding of God's creative activity, but also on a particular representation of evolution.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Becoming Human: New Insights from Genome-wide Functional Genomics
We live in exciting times for a geneticist: more and more genomes are being sequenced, and more and more novel genome-wide analyses are being performed to shed light on what all those newly-determined sequences mean.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism, Part 2
Barkley suggests that material creation is not the end of our understanding (as Naturalists think), but a beginning that unveils the majestic and power of a Creator who loves us.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism
Pastor Joseph Barkley of Ecclesia Church extols the greatness of the God who has brought forth incredible works and engaged humankind in relationship. In the first part of the sermon "Over and Above Naturalism," Barkley admires the factual knowledge unlocked by science, and yet reminds the Church that those material descriptions fail to answer the question of ultimate significance.

63rd Maine State Police Training Troop
63rd Maine State Police Training Troop
Week six was a long and challenging week for the 63RD Recruit Training Troop. Monday morning was one of the hottest days outside that we've had yet, and rushing through everything we had to do before our exam became even more difficult. After our exam, we dove right into more classroom instruction. We had the three very experienced and knowledgeable instructors teach us about high risk traffic stops. The troop was taught about the dangers posed, how to safely handle and control the situation, and the many tactics to implement. After learning how to execute a high risk traffic stop, we practiced making them for hours. We used Emergency Vehicle Operator Course (EVOC) cars out in one of the parking lots and ran through many scenarios, being tested on how we could control a potentially dangerous situation. After numerous scenarios and discussions of what we did well and things we needed to adjust, the whole troop felt much more confident in our ability to safely carry out a high risk traffic stop.
Tuesday started with an entertaining breakfast. To everyone's surprise, the troop has a recruit with great musical talent. Recruit York brought his acoustic guitar in, and played a song for us. He played a Johnny Cash song, and did it some serious justice. His guitar and singing were beyond what anyone of us could have pictured, and it was hard to hold back our smiles and applause. After Recruit York's musical performance, it was off to the classroom for instruction. We spent all day in the classroom, however, there was not one moment that wasn't captivating. Lt. Scott came in to teach us about high speed pursuits, which of course, kept the attention of the troop very easily. We went over policies regarding high speed pursuits, and discussed scenarios when they are appropriate and others when they should not be used. The troop learned how one must evaluate and weigh the risks of pursuit, and if those risks don't outweigh the risk of not pursing a subject, it's not worth putting self and others in harm's way. Lt. Scott showed us many videos of pursuits, and we analyzed what we saw. In our discussion there were comments made about how important driving skills are in regards to high speed pursuits, and how we would be given time to practice such skills. Hearing this, sparked even more anticipation, as we were then under the impression that we would be headed to EVOC sometime before graduation. Little did we know we would be given that opportunity sooner than we thought. The next morning after breakfast, again we were told to gather our flashlights, traffic vests, and sunglasses. This time, the troop leader was told we would be taking the EVOC cars to the Norridgewock Airport. It was difficult to curb our enthusiasm, as we gathered everything we needed and packed into the EVOC cars. We drove out to the airport and were met by a team of incredible instructors. Each instructor had a long list of service, experience, and training. They were very knowledgeable and model drivers, demonstrating how to make the car perform to its maximum potential. We were very lucky to have so many instructors to help us, as the ratio was one-to-one. We each had our own EVOC car to use and an instructor in the passenger seat as we went through various exercises. We drove from morning till after dark, pushing the EVOC vehicles to give us every ounce of performance we could get out of them. The course included drills like the serpentine, collision avoidance and evasive maneuvers, turning on a violator, and advanced to high speed pursuits, high speed cornering, and nighttime pursuits. In just two days, the troop learned more than we could have hoped to know, and it was very noticeable how much our skills had improved. Our week ended with more valuable classroom instruction. We were met by Trooper Stedman who talked to us about property crimes, and how they are a significant portion of crimes we will be dealing with. Trooper Stedman helped us understand how we can approach these crimes, and how we can better assist the public. Week six was one more long and difficult week down for the 63RD Recruit Training Troop. With only two weeks left, there is much more to cover. The train is close to the station, but the station just so happens to be up one incredibly steep hill, and the train weighs ten tons... and the tracks are rusted. There will be no coasting these next two weeks; rest assured, we will be tired, we will be sore, challenged, and stressed . And thank God for that, for we wouldn't want it any other way.

Mark committed suicide on Feb. 11 after an arrest for a drug-related offense just days before. So sad.
Mark Balelo, one of the stars of A&E's Storage Wars took his own life on Feb. 11 by way of carbon monoxide poisoning, TMZ reports. The reality star had previously been arrested on Feb. 9 for a drug-related offense.
Multiple sources tell the website that Mark was found dead in his car, which had been parked and left running in the garage at his auction house in Simi Valley, CA.
Mark Balelo's Drug Arrest
Upon release from his arrest on the 9th, sources say he was distraught and had asked his fiancée to come over in fear that he might hurt himself. The couple reportedly met at his office on Sunday, Feb. 10, where they talked for a few hours before Mark took a four hour nap. When he woke up, he was said to have seemed better.
His fiancée left him at his office that evening. One of Mark's employees found his body the following morning, Feb. 11. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that an autopsy will be conducted on Feb. 12.
Mark's 'Storage Wars' History
Mark had appeared on a number of Storage Wars episodes over the past few seasons. He made his first appearance during the show's second season, appearing in four episodes that year. He also appeared once during the third season. He was known for bringing large sums of money to auctions, often as much as $50,000 at a time. Beyond his liquidation, distribution, and wholesale company, Mark also owned a gaming store, The Game Exchange, from 2009 until 2012.
Our thoughts remain with Mark's family and friends during their time of loss.

The Kamuela Philharmonic Orchestra will start its 2013-2014 season by expanding programs to East Hawaii audiences, collaborating on a holiday concert in Hilo with the UH Hilo music department. The concert program will include Haydn "Symphony No. 26 (Christmas Symphony)," Laland "Christmas Symphony," Manfredini "Christmas Symphony" and selected choral works.
Since Jan. 26 marks the orchestra's 10th anniversary, their Jan. 19 concert will be a "Blast From the Past," reprising favorite works from previous concert seasons. The program at Kahilu Theatre in Waimea will include Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" (featuring violin soloists from the orchestra) and Tchaikovsky's "Serenade for Strings." The orchestra's Third Annual Concerto Competition will be held on Feb. 1 and 2, and the three winning young string players will perform their solos, with orchestra accompaniment, at the orchestra's spring concert, scheduled March 30, at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows Tennis Pavilion. Also on the program for that concert is Dvorak's "New World Symphony," another "Blast From the Past."
Fans of the orchestra who want to maximize the effects of their financial help to the group can do so through their participation in this year's Give Aloha Program. Although the continuing generosity of benefactors such as the Dorrance Family Foundation, Kahilu Theatre and Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows, as well as many local small businesses, has made it possible for the orchestra survive and grow, more contributions are needed.
The orchestra is also participating in Foodland's Annual Community Matching Gifts program. "Give Aloha," which honors Foodland Super Market, Ltd. founder Maurice J. "Sully" Sullivan, continues his legacy of giving back to the community.
Like other nonprofit organizations, the Kamuela Philharmonic Orchestra has signed up to take part in this event from Sept. 1-30. Donations allow the orchestra continue its mission of providing low cost admission to concerts of quality orchestral music, and furthering the musical knowledge of local young people.

Concierge.com's insider take:
One of the most successful Taos painters of recent years is Miguel Martinez, who works in mixed oils and pastels to depict beguiling local women with limpid eyes. The McCormick gallery sells works of his from small paintings to giant canvases, and takes commissions. It also represents New Mexican Alvin Gill-Tapia, whose Missions Series renders adobe buildings and churches in neon colors—unexpected and arresting.
