Walter Gropius (1883-1969) was a celebrated German architect and teacher, founder of the school of design known as the Bauhaus in Germany, and a leading proponent of modern architecture. This house was his first architectural commission in the United States, built in 1938 as his family home after coming here to teach at Harvard's Graduate School of Design. This was Walter Gropius's home from 1938 until his death in 1969. Restoration of the Gropius House is being supported in part by a Save America's Treasures grant administered by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. The project encompasses repairs to the south and west elevations and replanting of the orchard and meadow. The Gropius House is a National Historic Landmark.
Gropius directed the Bauhaus in Germany from its founding in 1919 until 1928. He was thirty-five years old when he was appointed Director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Weimar, Germany. One of his first decisions was to combine this school with the School of Arts and Crafts and rename the new institution the Bauhaus. Bauhaus is taken from the contraction of two German words: Bauen (to build) and Haus (house), and translated means "House of Building." The Bauhaus took an all-embracing attitude toward design, encouraging collaboration and taking into consideration not only the individual object or building but also the larger context, the community, and the environment. Training required the student to study the fine arts, to learn the skills of a craft, to understand the properties of materials, and to be familiar with technology and factory production. The Bauhaus embraced new materials, new technology, and sought to create a new aesthetic, unencumbered by historical tradition. Students were taught that beauty was to be found in the economy of form, in expressive use of materials, and in solutions that were suitable, economical, practical, and therefore inherently elegant.

Bauhaus building, Dessau, Germany
Financial woes and political opposition forced the school to move from Weimar to Dessau in 1925. The school entered its most creative phase in Dessau where Gropius brought together a faculty of celebrated artists and craftspeople that included Josef Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Marcel Breuer. The political situation in Germany at this time was rapidly changing with the rise of the Nazi Party. The government closed the Bauhaus in 1932 and Gropius, who had left the school in 1928 to open a private practice in Berlin, fell into disfavor of the Third Reich. They described his work as "Communist." Gropius submitted designs for government-funded projects that were consistently rejected. There was little work in Germany for anyone not closely aligned with the government. In 1934, the German government granted Gropius's request to work temporarily in London. He, his wife Ise, and their daughter Ati remained there for two and a half years. Gropius entered into partnership with Maxwell Fry, a leading exponent of modern architecture in England. While in London, the Dean of Harvard's Graduate School of Design, Joseph Hudnut, visited Gropius and offered him a teaching position. Harvard, anxious to revitalize the teaching of architecture and change their curriculum from the Beaux-Arts tradition, pursued Gropius. Yet only when Harvard agreed to allow him to build a private architectural practice in addition to his teaching did Gropius accept the offer. However, first Gropius had to persuade the German government to allow him to transfer to the United States. The government reluctantly agreed and allowed Gropius to return to Germany to collect his personal belongings. In return, the Propaganda Ministry advertised that Harvard had appointed a German citizen, for the first time, to a traditional professorship and in such a role would serve Germany as an exemplary model of its greatness.

Walter, Ise, and Ati Gropius at the Sandy Pond House
Walter and Ise Gropius arrived in the United States in the spring of 1937, with little more than their furniture made in the workshops of the Bauhaus, their books, and office files. Their daughter Ati, twelve years old at the time, remained behind to finish out the school year. They immediately fell in love with the New England countryside and admired the landscape outside Cambridge and Boston and, in contrast to their apartments in Berlin and London, decided to live in more rural surroundings. They found a Colonial-style house to rent on Sandy Pond in Lincoln, Massachusetts, but the house did not suit their functional or aesthetic needs. Ise later wrote: "Our Bauhaus furniture looked indeed strange in the small rooms of this prim little house of Colonial style." New social connections inspired an extraordinary opportunity. Henry Shepley, an architect friend, approached philanthropist and patron of the arts Helen Storrow, and informed her that "the new German professor" at the Harvard School of Design was "desperate" to build a house for himself but was not in the financial position to do so. He suggested that she offer him a piece of land on her large estate, finance the house, and rent it to him so that they could "see what he might do." Mrs. Storrow, who was known to support hundreds of individuals and organizations, agreed almost immediately. Gropius, of course, accepted her generous offer.

For the sixth consecutive year Computerworld magazine has named Prudential one of the "100 Best Places to Work in IT." Prudential ranked No. 12 among large organizations on the Best Places to Work in IT list, which was published today in a special issue of Computerworld in print and online.
The 100 Best Places to Work in IT list includes 55 large corporations, 23 midsize organizations, and 22 small companies. "We're honored that Computerworld recognized us once again. Our information technology professionals partner with our businesses to deliver quality results and are proud of the work they do," said Barbara Koster, senior vice president and chief information officer at Prudential. "They take great pride in Prudential's brand and reputation."
Prudential offers competitive salaries, benefits and perks including programs that provide financial security, investment opportunities and support for career and personal growth. "But, what makes us a great place to work is our people. From senior leadership to entry level employees, our people care about one another and about the community. The work environment is supportive; family oriented and supports work/life balance," said Koster.
Throughout the company, more than 70 percent of employees use some form of alternative working arrangements. Technology employees support the systems necessary for Prudential employees to work remotely including a remote access portal, virtual desktop infrastructure and mobile applications that can be accessed from a variety of mobile devices.

The focus is on ensuring people have the right tools, training, and support to do their work. The meetings also focus on attracting a new generation of talent into the organization through community partnerships, a robust summer internship program, and recruiting at local high schools, colleges and universities.
Prudential also has a program that trains urban high school graduates and military service men and women for careers in information technology. "For several years, Prudential has been a lead sponsor of Workforce Opportunity Services, a non-profit organization that provides education and career opportunities to urban high school graduates and post 9/11 military veterans," said Koster. In April, the company opened a business and technology services center in El Paso, Texas, which offers quality job opportunities to military spouses, veterans and their families, and other community members. "Over the next several years, the center is expected to provide about 300 new jobs in the community, which is a testament to our support of the community's needs."
"Hiring the best and the brightest IT pros, offering them competitive pay and providing top-notch benefits is just the beginning for the outstanding employers on this year's Best Places to Work in IT list," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld. "Both newcomers to the list and rock-steady stalwarts nurture their talent with challenging business-critical projects, extensive training opportunities and ongoing career development programs.

"This is NOT a hotel - get that straight! This is an old building once known as the Oneeda Biscuit factory that has been converted into the Biscuit Palace. No two rooms are alike in any form or fashion and saying they are "unique" would be an understatement. The Palace Suite, is a HUGE grandfloor ..."

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- St. Bonaventure University has asked a federal judge to dismiss former men's basketball coach Jan van
Breda Kolff's $21.55 million wrongful dismissal lawsuit.
In the school's first legal response to the suit, lawyer Judy
Hernandez argued van Breda Kolff had no basis for his claims, and
noted that a clause in his contract allowed the school to dismiss
him without cause.
In a 43-page document submitted to U.S. District Court in
Buffalo last week, Hernandez also asked that the court consider
imposing sanctions against van Breda Kolff's lawyer for filing a
claim not supported by law.
Van Breda Kolff was fired in April 2003 following a school
investigation after junior forward Jamil Terrell was ruled
ineligible for failing to meet NCAA junior college transfer
guidelines. Terrell earned a certificate in welding at a community
college before transferring and playing for St. Bonaventure for
most of the 2002-03 season.
The Atlantic 10 stripped the team of its conference victories
and barred it from its league playoff tournament, moves that led to
Bonnies players boycotting the final two games of their season.
Van Breda Kolff, an assistant with the NBA New Orleans Hornets
last season, has argued that he was not aware of Terrell's status.
He had three years left on his contract and owed about $1 million
prior to his dismissal.
His lawsuit also includes claims of libel, invasion of privacy
and injurious falsehood.
Last February, the NCAA cleared van Breda Kolff of committing
any violations, but noted that he was one of at least five school
officials who were aware of questions of Terrell's eligibility but
failed to contact the A-10 or the NCAA.
University president Robert Wickenheiser resigned in March 2003,
and accepted the blame for approving Terrell's transfer.

"Pleasurable way to learn history"
Fascinating, funny, thought-provoking.
Daniel Waterhouse realizing King Charles the Second was about to blow up his father's house and his father.
No, too much to savor.
I was disappointed that it wasn't the whole book and that I had to purchase the second part. It is published as one book.
"Captivating historical fiction."
This absorbing book throws light on a time when science is surging to the forefront of popular thinking. It is written with unconventional warm humour.
Simon Prebble's performance is masterful.
"By turns entertaining and tedious"
Although I enjoyed the story overall and the narrator was quite good, there were points in the book where things just dragged on and on and on... It could have been a much shorter story with just as much impact.
"The Scientific Revolution in a novel"
Quicksilver appeals to me because of its subject matter: the history of the Scientific Revolution in Britain, Europe and the American colonies around 1650 to 1750. Stephenson writes a "good yarn" with interesting characters that are well developed, but he is not a literary author. I would rate Quicksilver much better than some mediocre mysteries that I have listened to, but it is not up to the level of audiobooks of Charles Dickens or Tolstoy, or Samuel Pepys diary.
Neal Stephenson's books are great to both read and listen to. Quicksilver is not as entertaining as Reamde or Cryptomonicon, but it is a "must" for any Stephenson fan. There are characters and themes that repeat in Cryptomonicon. Quicksilver is for readers who are interested in mathematics and science, the history of both, and generally have inquisitive minds
I like a narrator to not intrude on the story. If I notice the narrator, then there is a problem. I did not notice in this case, so do not know if I have heard other books by him - that is a good thing!
Isaac Newton is very well realized here. Stephenson creates an amusing, complex and often infuriating character and does a good job of answering the question: "What is genius and how is it manifested?"
I am listening to Quicksilver for a second time before I go on with the second book in the Baroque Cycle. There is so much to take it, that I need to repeat to make sure that I get it all. And it is definitely worth listening to again, as are all of Stephenson's books - which makes them good value.
"An epic story about the turn of the 18th century."
This is probably my favorite part of the series. It begins a truly epic tale about the changes in the world from the late 1600s to the early 1700s. This portion tells the tale of Daniel Waterhouse, close companion to Isaac Newton, and their introduction into the world of Natural Philosophy. It details the transition between the age of alchemy and "magic" into a world of science and logical study of the nature of life.
Highly detailed, and sometimes slow moving, the entire story will span over 50 years, the reign of many different kings and queens across europe, several trips to America and back, pirates, african queens, and the Philosopher's Stone. Well worth slogging through the slow points to find out what happens in the end.
I am brutally honest. Popular, love everything they read, reviewers are scared to go neg. and risk their ranking. It's your money!!!
"Not my cup of Chai"
When I first read the first chapter of Snow Crash by NS, I thought I had found a great new writer. The book went way down hill from there. This book never got up the hill. The first two hours of the book is a history lesson. Literary. NS has some of the best prose around and is very intelligent, I just can't get into his style of writing.
This book has Isaac Newton, Ben Franklin and other science greats. It seems that throwing out these names and talking about math formulas is suppose to take the place of a plot. The book bounces around in history, concentrates on one character for a couple of hours and then goes to another character, mentions plagues and kings and wars, but never a plot. NEVER.
I have the book Anthem in my hardback library, I am wondering now if I need to trade it in at the used book store without cracking it open. Out of three books of NS that I have read I can not give him higher then 3 stars on any.
If you like books that name drop science greats or if you like Connie Willis, you may like this. If you have to have a story, don't go here.
R Marie
"Love History Love Science"
I would recommend it to any friend who loves science and history
The details the author provides and how he sets the scenes
The narrator is good
One of my favorite parts was in the first half when the main character is in Massachusetts.
It took me a long time to listen to this book...which provides value. There is a lot of detail and period changes, but it is so worth the listening.
"More Stephenson Brilliance"
I've listened to it multiple times and find more layers of meaning and literary craft'smanship with each listening (and reading).
Enoch Root is always my "favorite" character, starting with my reading of the Cryptonomicon. He is Stephenson's Gandalf. I am always left wanting more with him.
Simon Prebble is simply brilliant in his pacing, inflection and occasionaly and appropriately used "other character" voices.
Enoch Root, for the reasons listed above.... he is the bridge across the old alchemical world, into the new scientific age. He is enigmatic and there is enough mystery in his longevity that we want more.
Stop what you are doing right now, and down load this work. Your life will never be the same.
"A slower plot."
The Baroque Cycle doesn't compare to other Neal Stephenson books. Instead of being enhanced by the interweaving of many side plots, this trilogy just seems to bog down.
"Just couldn't get through it"
I tried on two separate occasions. The first time I only got a couple of hours into it. Then a few months later, I thought that since I really liked the idea of the book, I should really give it a better try. This time I got about 3/4 of the way through it and I reallized that I would not buy the rest of the series.. so that was it. I found the story too slow and it hopped around too much and I just kept drifting off.
Who knows maybe I will try again some time.

Slain officer's vigil includes policing critique
"Grave need" to bridge the animosity gap, says activist leader
Dave Rice 11:35 a.m., July 30
The beach at Coronado has been tapped as the nation's finest, according to a new survey out today from "Dr. Beach," or Stephen Leatherman, a coastal science professor at Miami's Florida International University. His list of the top 10 beaches in the country is traditionally released just before Memorial Day weekend, the kickoff of the summer beach-going season.
Coronado's shores were ranked number 2 last year, behind Siesta Beach in Sarasota, Florida. Like previous winners in the survey's 22 year history, Siesta has been retired "to allow others to be in the limelight," according to Leatherman.
50 different criteria are used in judging beach quality, including look and feel of the sand, water quality, adequacy of public facilities, and presence of oil and tar balls, the last of which continues to plague Southeastern states two years after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Coronado was the only California beach on this year's top 10 list, which also included Kahanamoku Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii, at number 2, and Main Beach in East Hampton, New York, ranking third.
Excuse me, but I thought I saw Coronado listed just the other day as polluted. And not long ago that La Jolla Shores was in the Top Ten. So what's what?
