Radical Conservatism: Classical Vocabulary, New Form
Chicago |
04 – 04 Oct, 2015
Over the last one hundred years there has grown up a belief among many architects that the modern era requires a new architectural language. Proponents of this point of view have written architectural histories that would have us believe that the mainstream of modernism moves from one avant garde, or radical new movement, to another, for example from the so-called Chicago School and Frank Lloyd Wright to Le Corbusier, Gropius and Mies. This idea is no more logical than believing that to write modern fiction English is inadequate and some new language is necessary. This panel will examine a number of architects who believed that they could create dramatic new forms within the classical language.
Moderated by Robert Bruegmann

CFP: View, Issue 12: Capitalist Realism
29 Sep, 2015 – 15 Jan, 2016
In May 1989, Polish poet and writer Agnieszka Osiecka wrote a scathing satirical article about the new social class that had emerged as a result of the introduction of the free market in Poland. In her piece, Osiecka derisively dubbed this developing class "wydeo," a play on "wideo,"—the polonized version of the English word "video"—where Osiecka purposely replaced the "i" with a "y" meant to mark the group'splebeian character, as well as its lack of knowledge about the western culture it tended to embrace. Contrary to the intelligentsia, whose ethos was expressed through language and literature, wydeo was "a colorful and ubiquitous pack, […] made up of the first owners—and compulsive consumers—of VCRs," Osiecka wrote. The new class, consisting mainly of small business owners, was ironically described by Osiecka as a group of people whose lives revolved around images. Members of wydeo consumed visual representations, carefully studied and imitated Western popular images, and—being a "colorful pack"—were a picturesque sight themselves. In Osiecka's opinion, the low quality of the images the group consumed—"the head of the family is watching a spy movie, his wife—an Australian melodrama, the offspring—Rambo"—didn't bode well for their future group identity.
Osiecka's classist and iconoclastic account was published a couple of weeks before the first partially free elections in Poland. However, images like the ones described by the poet had been circulating since the mid 1980s at least. VCRs, satellite dishes, VHS tapes with Western films and TV shows, and illustrated magazines had found their way into Eastern European households thanks to the relaxation of custom and border laws, which allowed for both people and images to travel. Both in the 1980s and 1990s, images and visual media were not merely symptoms of change, but active agents in and of themselves. In the context of Eastern Europe, these visual agents of change can be defined as "capitalist realism," a predominantly visual style visible in vernacular and artistic representations, mainstream media, popular culture, and public spaces, and one which shapes, projects, naturalizes and justifies neoliberal practices and values wherever such images circulate.
In the twelfth issue of "View," we'd like to invite contributions devoted to the images and narratives of "capitalist realism." What were the mechanisms of their functioning, their circulation and assimilation in Eastern Europe before and after 1989? What were the differences between local and global "caprealist" images? What were the differences in the transformation of visual culture across the Eastern bloc? How were images employed to produce economic value? What kind of values and models of subjectivity were promoted and what were the mechanisms of representing and producing an ideal neoliberal subject through visual means? What tactics were employed by artists and other subjects in order to oppose the commodification of visual culture? Is it possible to reconstruct a history of countervisual practices in the transitioning Eastern bloc?
Deadline for submitted articles: January 15th, 2016.

College Art Association's Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for the Visual Arts: How Will It Help the Visual Arts Community?
Brooklyn |
20 – 20 Oct, 2015
A presentation by Peter Jaszi, Lead Principal Investigator and Professor of Law, American University Washington College of Law
Date: Tuesday, October 20, 2015, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Location: NYFA, 20 Jay Street, Suite 740, Brooklyn NY 11201
(F to York Street Station or A to High Street/Brooklyn Bridge Station)
RSVP Required
Event is free and open to the public
When can an artist or art historian use a photo she snapped in a museum for teaching? Can a museum reproduce an image from an exhibition of contemporary art in a related brochure without licensing it? How can fair use simplify the permissions process in publications? Can an archive put images from its collection online—and if so, with what restrictions? The copyright doctrine of fair use, which permits use of unlicensed copyrighted material, has great utility in the visual arts. But for too long, it's been hard to understand how to interpret this rather abstract part of the law. The newly-created Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Visual Arts, produced by the College Art Association, makes it much easier to employ fair use to do visual arts scholarship, art practice, teaching, exhibitions, digital displays and more.
Come hear Professor Peter Jaszi, one of the lead facilitators of the Code, explain how it works, how it was created and why it's reliable. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A.
The complete Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for the Visual Arts is available on CAA's website: www.collegeart.org/fair-use/

Fall Tour of "Anthracite Architecture" Features Victorian Gems
Scranton |
15 – 18 Oct, 2015
Fall Tour of "Anthracite Architecture" Features Victorian Gems
Buildings designed by many of the leading Victorian-era architects from New York and Philadelphia, including Frank Furness, James Renwick, Richard Upjohn, and Bruce Price, will be featured in a three-part tour organized by The Victorian Society in America and taking place from October 15 to 18. The tour features Victorian buildings rarely on view in three northeastern Pennsylvania towns: Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and Jim Thorpe.
In the 1800s, Pennsylvania was a center of anthracite coal extraction in the United States, and the region prospered. During this period, property owners could afford to hire the best architects in the country and spend lavishly to build their homes, clubs and houses of worship, and they did. Wilkes-Barre was at the center of the lucrative mining industry. Jim Thorpe is a mountain town where a pioneering gravity railroad was created in 1817 to bring the coal across the Pocono Mountains to the Delaware River. Scranton became the railroad hub of the coal industry and home of the powerful DL&W Railroad. As a result, the towns today are filled with Victorian gems, including houses designed by Wilson Eyre, C. P. H. Gilbert, Frank Furness, F. C. Withers, Edmund Gilchrist and Bruce Price, and churches designed by such major architects as James Renwick, Richard Upjohn, Charles M. Burns, Edward Kendall, J. C. Cady, and William Schickel. Many are equal in quality to better known examples by the same designers in larger cities. Because the region hasn't been subject to intense development pressure in recent years, many of the buildings are close to their original condition, while institutions such as Wilkes University have restored others for new uses.
The Anthracite Cities Study Tour, as the event is called, will be led by Williams College American art and architecture Professor Michael J. Lewis is leading the tour and broadened it to include Jim Thorpe and Scranton.
The first full day of the tour, Friday, will be devoted to buildings in Wilkes-Barre, the heart of the Wyoming Valley. Originally claimed by settlers from Connecticut, Wilkes-Barre was laid out like a typical New England town with a central town green and an active riverfront. Once large-scale coal mining began in the middle of the nineteenth century, the valley was undermined, literally, by shafts and tunnels Bruce Price, the father of etiquette expert Emily Post, is especially prominent in Wilkes-Barre, where his wife was born and where he began his independent career. Price is buried in Wilkes-Barre's Hollenback Cemetery, which has a wide range of funeral monuments that he designed and is considered one of America's most picturesque cemeteries, overlooking the banks of the Susquehanna River. Wilkes-Barre is also the original base of a prominent contemporary firm, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson Architects.
The second day will focus on Scranton, which became a rail center starting in the 1840s. Its character is more firmly industrial and stamped by the railroad as much as Wilkes-Barre's character is influenced by the nearby river. The tour includes buildings by Richard Upjohn, Russell Sturgis, Raymond Hood, Isaac G. Perry, J. C. Cady, Green & Wicks, and Kenneth Murchison, who designed the town's railroad station with its faience panels showing all the towns linked by the DL&W Railroad. Scranton contains the railroad history complex known as Steamtown, a collection of railroad buildings from the 1850s through the early twentieth century. It is also possible to tour an anthracite coal mine and descend 300 feet.
Sunday will focus on a more pastoral setting known as the "Switzerland of America." Jim Thorpe is not so much a town but one intact Victorian street in a narrow valley, arranged like a Victorian charm bracelet. At one end of the street is one of the best preserved antebellum houses in America, the 1860 Asa Packer Mansion, whose furnishings are intact to a surprising degree, down to the wooden toilet seat. Alongside it is the 1874 Harry Packer Mansion, designed by Addison Hutton and now a bed-and-breakfast.
The tour also includes the 1867 St. Mark's Episcopal Church by Richard Upjohn and the 1888 New Jersey Central Depot by Philadelphia's well-known engineer-architects, the Wilson Brothers. At the time of the tour, the autumn foliage will be at the peak of changing colors, providing an ideal backdrop for viewing the architecture produced by America's anthracite coal aristocracy.
The cost is $425 for Victorian Society members. A block of hotel rooms has been reserved in Scranton for tour participants. More information is available on the Society's website at www.victoriansociety.org; or email email@example.com
The Site of Discourse: Thinking architecture through publication
Lisbon |
28 – 30 Sep, 2015
An International Conference dedicated to the subject of architectural magazines and architectural history seen through their published material.
Request for Proposals, Guest Curator, Buffalo Architecture Center
26 Sep – 19 Oct, 2015
The Richardson Olmsted Complex is being rehabilitated by the Richardson Center Corporation and adaptively reused as a hospitality venue and cultural amenity for the city. Alongside and intertwined with Hotel Henry Urban Resort and Conference Center will be the Buffalo Architecture Center (BAC), an integral component of the renovation project. Hotel Henry and the BAC are the first phase - and about 1/3 of - the redevelopment of the Richardson Olmsted Complex and are expected to open in Fall 2016. The Richardson Olmsted Complex, formerly known as Buffalo State Hospital, was designed in 1870 by the notable American architect H. H. Richardson. This expansive group of buildings was originally constructed on a site of 200 acres. It is set within a landscape designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux and planned in collaboration with Thomas Story Kirkbride – a doctor from Philadelphia whose work focused on the treatment and care of mental health patients. The complex consisted of ten one and a half to three story high pavilions built of Medina sandstone or brick that are disposed symmetrically on either side of a twin towered administration building. The complex was completed in 1896 and is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark. The Richardson Olmsted Complex is located in the city of Buffalo and is adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods, alongside the campus of SUNY Buffalo State and close to the Burchfield Penney Art Gallery, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buffalo History Museum. The BAC's mission statement follows here: The Buffalo Architecture Center (BAC) explores the excellence in architecture and city planning as demonstrated by Buffalo's outstanding architectural heritage. Located in the Richardson Olmsted Complex, the Center will provide orientation, prompt inspiration, and serve as a gathering place launch new ideas related to architecture, landscape and design. Through exhibitions, tours, programs, and outreach, the BAC engages the public in Buffalo's architecture, landscape design, and urban planning, and its role in culture and design literacy. The BAC fosters collaboration with organizations with the similar goal of activating Buffalo's architecture, planning, and landscape. By providing a center to host exhibitions, events, and programs, the BAC actively collaborates with aligned groups in dialogue and shared programming. This call for proposals seeks responses from architects, journalists, designers, critics, historians, photographers, artists, and other scholars and professionals, all of whom are eligible for this program. Applicants should submit a detailed proposal for a temporary exhibition for the BAC to open in 2017. The submission should be developed to ensure an opening in March or September of that year and the proposed date clearly noted. The exhibition will be staged alongside two other permanent exhibitions focusing on the city of Buffalo and the Richardson Olmsted Complex. The successful candidate will work with the Buffalo Architecture Center Coordinator to execute the project. Proposals should reflect the BAC's mission statement as well as its primary curatorial theme of "design literacy," a rubric which intends to promote a toolkit of ways for informed and general audiences to understand the social, political, and artistic impact of design on all aspects of life. The content of the proposal is at the discretion of the applicant and need not have a direct relationship to the permanent exhibition of the BAC, which will address the city of Buffalo. Ideas for projects that take innovative curatorial approaches and experimental formats are especially sought. Potential themes might include, but are not limited to, architectural history, contemporary debates in architecture, urban issues, and landscape design. The BAC encourages a wide range of proposals for curatorial projects with a broad scope. The BAC seeks proposals that use the curatorial project as a tool to foster ideas, to question relevant positions, and to introduce new research themes with the ultimate goal to advance new thinking for architecture and the built environment. The output of the proposal must have a spatial component that engages a roughly 1500 square foot space within the Buffalo Architecture Center. The recipient will receive a $10,000 honorarium for the project and will have a $50,000 budget towards production and installation. The scope of the project and specific timing of the project will be coordinated in consultation with the BAC Coordinator, Peter Christensen. No more than one project per applicant will be accepted. Collective or collaborative projects are welcome. All submissions must be new projects, never presented, published, or realized before. Application Requirements Five (5) sealed copies of the application should be submitted by mail to the BAC Coordinator at the address listed below no later than 5 PM EST on Monday, October 19, 2015. Applications should also be sent electronically to the BAC Coordinator at email@example.com. File sharing programs like WeTransfer or Dropbox may be used for this purpose. Applications should consist of the following documents and information): A curatorial statement (1,500 to 2,000 words, with no more than 10 images), including the description of the project and strategic justification. The document must also include a plan and a working schedule. A curriculum vitae detailing education, research and professional experience, and any other relevant information. A representative selection of a few realized projects that convey an impression of the candidate's distinctive approach. Contact information for 2 academic or professional references who are familiar with the candidate and his/her work. Additional Details of the RFP Process Questions about the project or proposal submission requirements should be addressed to the BAC Coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Chicago Architecture Biennial Tours of the National Public Housing Museum (NPHM)
Chicago |
03 Oct – 15 Nov, 2015
The opening of the National Public Housing Museum for the Chicago Architecture Biennial is an opportunity to see a cultural diamond in the rough. When you visit, you will experience a museum-in-the-making, featuring three interesting and insightful exhibits against the backdrop of an abandoned public housing building. As a visitor, you are a participant in the history of this building as it unfolds. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience the building in a unique way, unlike how the residents of the past experienced it, and distinct from the visitors who will follow when we officially open our doors in 2017. The anchoring exhibit for the Biennial is entitled, "House Housing," an exhibition first presented by the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture in the third-floor apartment of Columbia University's Casa Muraro in June 2014, to coincide with the opening of the 14th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice. After the exhibition in Chicago, House Housing will also appear as a part of the Wohnungsfrage ("The Housing Question") exhibition at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, and then again in the spring at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture's Schindler House location in West Hollywood, CA. In 23 brief, historical episodes, running from 1910 to 2014, Housing Housing presents a critical analysis of architecture's engagement with real estate development, particularly in the design of housing. The second exhibition, entitled "We, Next Door," is organized by NPHM with its "Youth Advisory Council" (YAC) to respond creatively and critically to the House Housing exhibition's episodes curated by the Buell Center —situating the issues it addresses specifically in Chicago, and in the teens' lived experience of public housing. The third exhibition, entitled "Collection, Building, Action." Through artifacts and media the Collection, Building, Action exhibition illuminates the activist mission of the NPHM and the work of NPHM staff, volunteers and advisors in oral history and material culture collections and programming around public housing history, practice and policy since 2007. The exhibit invites visitors to engage NPHM's ongoing efforts to shed new light on the history of public housing, to envision its future, and to draw renewed attention to the meaning of "the public good" in civic discourse. We would like to emphasize that this a unique opportunity to experience three outstanding exhibitions within an ABANDONED PUBLIC HOUSING BUILDING. You will be experiencing a cultural diamond in the rough. Therefore, we cannot guarantee you all the conveniences of a fully-restored museum. What you need to know: There are no bathroom facilities. We have permission from local establishments for our visitors to use their bathroom facilities. Due to the fact that we are not a fully-restored building, there is no disabled access to the building at this time. The flooring is old and can be tricky- please watch your step and wear appropriate footwear (we recommend well-fitted, close-toed shoes)! There is no climate control in the building. It could be chilly inside. Dress appropriately.
Inside the Four Seasons and other New York Landmark Interiors
New York |
20 – 20 Oct, 2015
We enjoy looking at historic interiors, but there's more to them than meets the eye. Behind the walls, below the floors, and underneath the painted surfaces are the back-stories few people have heard about the city's known and not-so-known landmarks. The authors of
Interior Landmarks: Treasures of New York
(The Monacelli Press; September 29, 2015) will take us behind the scenes of some of the City's most interesting spaces. They will tell little-known and fascinating stories about places like City Hall and the Tweed Courthouse, Loew's Paradise Theater, the Four Seasons Restaurant, the Dime Savings, and Manufacturers Trust bank buildings. They will share stories of the political wrangling, financial skullduggery, design competitions, preservation challenges, and restoration problems that designers and builders dealt with to provide insight into why these venues are so special and how even being a landmark doesn't guarantee that a great space will remain safe from damage, or change. This program delves into the themes of our exhibition
Saving Place: 50 Years of New York City Landmarks
, on view through January 3.
Book signing to follow.

Inventing Preservation
New York |
08 – 08 Oct, 2015
Historic preservation activism in New York City did not begin in the 1960s with the fight to save Penn Station and the effort to pass the Landmarks Law—it began in the late 19th century. Little-remembered preservation pioneers like Andrew H. Green and Albert Bard, as well as various women's garden clubs, and patriotic and civic organizations laid the groundwork for the generations of preservationists that would follow. Join us to recount the triumphs, failures, and tactics of these early preservationists, and discuss what they might teach us moving forward.This program delves into the themes of our exhibition

Architecture in Time: The Temporal Conditions of Design
London |
23 – 23 Oct, 2015
A One-day colloquium, co-organised by the Architecture, Space and Society Network and Birkbeck Institute for Social Research Friday 23 October 2015, 10am-5pm. The concept of architectural design is accounted for on separate terms to the world in which it emerges – it is not socially dependent. Yet, there are building projects where the past plays a creative part in the design process. In archaeology, an exploration of temporal details can unsettle the sequence of design followed by occupation and instead reveal how people design with living. In between these two disciplines, ethnographic accounts of making demonstrate how design emerges through routine practices of reiteration and alteration. Architecture in time considers the social complexity of buildings, it brings to the fore time as a creative force in design, and makes architecture depend on society. Architecture in Time is an interdisciplinary colloquium that considers the social complexity of buildings, brings to the fore time as a creative force in design, and makes architecture depend on society. Key themes: the production of architecture, architecture and participation, the temporality involved in the mediation between matter and form, and the relation between design and occupation.
CFP: Spaces and Places of Leisure, Recreation and Sociability in Early Modernity (c. 1500-1800) (London, 19-21 May 16)
London |
24 Sep – 08 Nov, 2015
This conference looks at practices of leisure, recreation and sociability in pre-modern societies and how these were reflected in and shaped by spatial practices. As is the case today, sociable, leisure and recreational practices and events were important means for strengthening associations and social bonds, creating local and regional identities, and maintaining distinctions. While the role and practices of sociability in clubs, societies and guilds have been well explored in recent decades, their connections with leisure and recreation have been neglected. Sociability has in recent years featured prominently in histories of consumer societies and material culture. A new interest in spatiality has also led to an intensive investigation of sociable public places such as coffee houses, clubs, salons, shops, and taverns and their connection with the emergence of a (political) public sphere. (Spatial) practices and modes of sociable leisure and recreation in early modern society, however, have received much less attention. The main research undertaken in this area is largely concerned with English urban developments in commercial leisure in the eighteenth century, while practices and spaces of recreation, diversion and sociability before 1660 and beyond Europe have only very recently come into clearer focus.
The aim of this conference is to take stock of the current state of research in the field of spatial practices of leisure, recreation and sociability. It aims to bridge the gap between histories of recreation, leisure and sociability in the eighteenth century and earlier periods, and to facilitate conversations between historians working on different case studies in Europe and beyond in order to develop comparative perspectives. Contributions might investigate spatial practices or the creation and usage of public, economic, exclusive or private places and spaces for leisure and sociability in urban, courtly or rural contexts. Papers are also welcome to explore different forms of leisure and recreation (sport, games, performances, drinking and eating etc.) and sociability (for example, with family, friends, neighbours, status groups, work and religious associations etc.)
Papers could address issues such as the following, but are not limited to this list:
Topographies of places and spaces. What are the different places and spaces of leisure, recreation and sociability in early modern towns and villages? How are they connected? Are different spaces used by the same groups on different occasions or do they co-exist?
Multi-functionality of spaces. What other purposes do sociable places serve and does the multi-functionality of places influence or reflect on the practices of leisure and sociability?
Comparisons. How do practices and spaces differ between town and country, between different regions, between countries? Are there similarities?
Transfer of practices from town to country and vice versa, between cities, between countries. Who are the agents of transfer? How are fashions created and transferred?
Change over time. How did spatial practices of leisure and sociability change over time? Which spatial practices or places formerly in use were abandoned, and what replaced them? Who or what initiated these changes? Who opposed these changes and how?
Social relations created in sociable places and spaces and modes of inclusion or exclusion (gender, status, age).
The conference will be held at the German Historical Institute London on 19-21 May 2016. Proposals from scholars at any stage in their career are invited and papers with an interdisciplinary approach are particularly welcome.
Standard travel expenses and the cost of accommodation for the duration of the conference will be reimbursed.
If you are interested in presenting a paper, please submit an abstract of up to 300 words and a short CV by 8 November 2015.
All enquiries and proposals should be sent to Angela Schattner: email@example.com

Reorienting the City
Chicago |
03 – 03 Oct, 2015
How do architectural projects like The 606, the Riverwalk, Maggie Daley Park, and the Navy Pier redesign affect the greater city? Architecture sometimes affects not only the experience of users within the structure but reshapes a community's infrastructure. In this discussion, a part of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, we'll look at how the work of a few designers is changing Chicago and other cities.
Join Gina Ford (Riverwalk), Matthew Urbanski (The 606, Brooklyn Bridge Park), Andrew Vesselinovitch (The 606, Riverwalk), and Sarah Weidner Astheimer (Navy Pier) for a conversation on how architectural projects can redraw urban boundaries.
After the discussion, we'll take a walking tour of The 606 led by Jean Linsner and docents from The Trust for Public Land and gain a deeper understanding of how it's reshaping the adjacent neighborhoods.

House Housing: An Untimely History of Architecture and Real Estate in 23 Episodes
Chicago |
01 Oct – 15 Nov, 2015
House Housing: An Untimely History of Architecture and Real Estate in Twenty-three Episodes at the National Public Housing Museum's future site in the historic Jane Addams Homes invites visitors to experience history as ever-present, circulating in and through the built environment that surrounds us. Throughout the now-crumbling rooms of the once-pioneering public housing project in Chicago's Near West Side, the Buell Center has narrated exhibition episodes that the visitor will experience through a mixture of domestic media from across the century—from phonograph to television, answering machine to iPad—converting the former apartments into a whispering, humming history machine. Presented in partnership with the NPHM and the Chicago Architecture Biennial.
French Roof Mania: The Rise and Fall of the Second Empire Style in America
30 – 30 Sep, 2015
The Second Empire style has come to epitomize Victorian architecture, and often in a negative setting. Everyone from Charles Addams to Alfred Hitchcock has worked to cement the image of a house with a mansard roof representing age, decay, and obsolescence, if not murder and mayhem. Yet this style (as historians have defined it) was extraordinarily popular in the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Architects and taste-makers generally despaired at its universal popularity for all classes of society and all types of buildings (except churches). Yet the public was infatuated, as the perceptive critic Mariana Griswold van Rensselaer observed in 1886: None too pleasing, it seems to me, even in its proper size and station, this so-called 'French roof' was ludicrous indeed when set on top of our flimsy little wooden walls in a greatly diminished but still all-too-massive form. It was supremely ludicrous and supremely ugly, yet no feature we have ever made our own has been more universally beloved. Why was this style so popular and why did it lose popularity? A common assumption that it found favor is that there was a widespread infatuation with France during the Second Empire. While there is truth in that, especially for the grand public buildings, it does not fully explain the popularity of the "French roof" from Maine to California. Its popularity grew during and shortly after the Civil War, well before many of the iconic buildings such as the State, War, and Navy Building in Washington and the Philadelphia City Hall were under construction. This lecture is national in scope and based upon an investigation of the extensive listings in the National Register of Historic Places. It will look at the origins of the style in America and explore the spread of its popularity across the country. Many sources for the spread of its popularity are investigated, including literary journals, early architectural journals, style books, agricultural journals, and pattern books. By 1870, and during the decade that followed, the Second Empire style was arguably the most popular architectural style in America. It demise, unlamented by most architects, rapidly followed despite the continued use of the "French roof" is ways no longer recognizable to the country of its origin. Roger G. Reed is an historian for the National Register and National Historic Landmark Programs. He is the author of Building Victorian Boston, The Architecture of Gridley J. F. Bryant.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of otitis media with effusion (OME) in primary school children in Rize (Eastern Black Sea Region) and the impact of tobacco smoke exposure in the development of OME in primary school children. This study involved a total of 2960 children who appeal for ENT examination to our department at Rize Training and Research Hospital between November 2007 and April 2009. All children were evaluated with regard to OME and exposure to cigarette smoke. Pure tone audiometry and tympanometry tests and pneumatic otoscopy were performed on the children who were diagnosed with OME by otoscopic examination. The association between the children diagnosed as OME and exposure to cigarette smoke was evaluated. The prevalence of OME in this study was 9.86% (292/2960). Exposure to cigarette smoke was a statistically significant factor in development of OME (P < 0.0001). Environmental factors such as smoking are important in the development of OME. To prevent delayed diagnosis or development of this disease, parents must be informed about the preventable risk factors and symptoms for the development of OME.
Otitis media with effusion (OME), which refers to the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear cavity without any signs of acute infection [1, 2] is a common health problem both in pre-school and school children. Its symptoms are insidious, the diagnosis is difficult and generally delayed [3]. OME is characterized by a high recurrence rate. The potential risks of sequel formation and complications like tympanosclerosis, retraction pockets, adhesive otitis media and hearing or speech impairment make the disease an important public health problem [4, 5]. The etiopathogenesis of OME has been discussed for many years. The most important etiologic causes are infection, inflamation and insufficient pneumatization of the middle ear. Conditions like eustachian tube dysfunction, insufficient pneumatization of the mastoid, craniofacial abnormalities, infections, immunodeficiency and allergic agents are among controversial causes of OME [2].
There are many environmental risk factors in the development of OME like smoking, poor socio-economic conditions, seasonal conditions and risk factors specific to the child like attendance to daycare centers and sex, race, properties of the eustachian tube, adenoid tissue hypertrophy, allergy, immunologic status, presence of cleft palate and mucocilliary dysfunction.
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of OME in primary school children in Rize and to investigate the association between OME and smoking.
The study was conducted between November 2007 and April 2009 in Rize Training and Research Hospital. This study involved a total of 2,960 primary school children who appeal for ENT examination. The ages of the children in the study (female: 1,272 (43%), male: 1,688 (57%) ranged from 4 to 15 years (mean, 9.5). In addition to a routine ear, nose, and throat examination, a pure tone audiogram and a tympanogram were obtained from all children, who were prediagnosed with OME during the initial examination with otoscopy.
An air-bone gap of more than 10 dB in audiogram and type B tympanogram were used as diagnostic criteria. The exposure to cigarette smoke was questioned during examinations. Smoking exposure was classified as "mother only smoking", "father only smoking", "both parents smoking" or "no smoking". Medical treatment consisting of systemic and local decongestants, antibiotics and nasal steroids for the patients with allergic findings was started. Subjects were followed for approximately 12 weeks and re-evaluated to determine the persistency of any physical finding. The children with persistent physical findings were treated with myringotomy and insertion of a ventilation tube (n = 132). We investigated the association between requirement for insertion of a ventilation tube and cigarette smoking. To do this, children who were diagnosed with OME were divided into two groups. The study group consisted of the children in whom myringotomy and ventilation tube were required and the control group consisted of the children who responded to the medical treatment.
Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 10.0 and the data evaluated by the chi-square test. Statistical significance criterion was defined as P < 0.05.
The ages of the children included in the study was ranging between 4 and 15 years and the number of the children aged from 4 to 6 years were 745 (25.1%), the number of the children aged from 7 to 9 years were 680 (22.9%), the number of the children aged from 10 to 12 years were 716 (24.1%) and the number of the children aged from 13 to 15 were 819 (27.6%). OME was diagnosed in 292 (9.9%) out of 2,960 children. Among the 292 children with OME, 130 (44.5%) were female and 162 (55.5%) were male. Among the 292 children with OME, 132 children with persistan OME (no resolution in three months after medical treatment) required myringotomy and insertion of a ventilation tube. Among the 132 children with persistant OME, 62 were female and 70 were male. Distribution of children according to sex and age is shown in Table 1. All of the children in the study group had more than 15 db air-bone gap in audiogram and type B tympanogram.
In our study the prevalence of OME was 9.9% (292/2960). The prevalence of the disease in children between ages 4 and 6 was 14.7% (110/745) and the prevalence in children aged between 7 and 9 years was 13.9% (95/680) (Table 2).
The fact that the most prevalent risk factors of OME such as frequent acute otitis media, history of upper respiratory tract infection and allergies, are mostly seen in children between ages 4 to 9 is able to clarify the higher prevalence of OME in this age group. But the difference between aged group was not significant (χ2 = 0.58, P > 0.05) (Table 3). Likewise, there was no significant differences according to sex distribution between the study and control groups (χ2 = 0.31, P > 0.05) (Table 4). However, there was a significant difference according to exposure to cigarette smoke between the children diagnosed with OME and children who were not (χ2 = 2.64, P < 0.05) (Table 5). At the same time, there was a significant difference according to smoking history of mothers/fathers between the study and control groups (χ2 = 23.06, P < 0.0001) (Table 6).
Otitis media with effusion is a common health problem in children less than 15 years old. If left untreated or inadequately treated, it may lead to a series of sequelae and complications, such as permanent hearing loss and hearing or speech impairment [6–8]. The etiology of OME is multifactorial. Infection and Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction are the most widely accepted contributory factors [9, 10]. Frequent infections like common cold, mechanical obstruction or craniofacial malformations that interfere with the proper ET functioning increase susceptibility to accumulation of fluid within the middle ear cavity [4, 11].
The prevalence of OME is rather variable, ranging from 1.3 to 31.3%, depending on the methods used, population characteristics like race, countries and environmental factors [12–14]. The prevalence was reported as 9.5% for Caucasians and 5.3% for Chinese primary school children [12, 15]. In a study from Greece including 5,121 children who varied in age from 6 to 12, the prevalence of OME was reported as 6.5% [16], while in a study from Kuwait including 893 children of similar age, it was reported as 31.3% [17]. Our prevalence rate was 9.9% in a similar age group, which was consistent with that of the Greek study but rather younger than the study from Kuwait. This may be related to climatic and environmental factors. The prevalence rates reported in other studies were as follows: 9.5% in the Netherlands (1,004 children aged from 5 to 8) [18]; 10% in Easter Island (220 children aged from 5 to 9) [19]; 13.8% in Saudi Arabia (4,124 children aged from 1 to 8) [20]; and 2.2% in Hong Kong (more than 6,000 children aged from 6 to 7) [21].
In our study, the prevalence of OME was found as 9.9%. The prevalence of the disease from age group 4 to 6 was 14.7% and 13.9% from age group 7 to 9. The reported prevalence rates of OME among primary school children in Turkish literature were as follows: 11.2% by Cuhruk et al. [22] (in 1,391 children aged from 6 to 12), 13.3% by Ozbilen et al. [23] (in 698 children aged from 6 to 12), 11.5% by Goksu [24] (in 410 children aged from 6 to 12) and 2.6% by Palandoken et al. [25] (in 2,165 children aged from 6 to 12). All the studies but the one by Palandoken et al. [25] conducted in Izmir were conducted in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. Our prevalence rates were lower than those reported by the studies conducted in Ankara.
There are also other studies reporting the prevalence of OME in younger age groups. For example, the prevalence rate was reported as 2.6% by Karasalihoglu and Sarikahya [26] (in 500 children aged from 7 to 8), 2% by Almac et al. [27] (in 1,000 children aged from 7 to 8), 12.5% by Kaya et al. [28] (in 1,628 children aged from 4 to 8) and 18.3% by Demireller [29] (in 284 children aged from 3 to 6). Besides the methods used, various climatic and environmental factors may explain the differences between these prevalence rates. In a study conducted in İstanbul/Turkey, the prevalence was reported as 8.7% and the prevalence was found to be higher (9.8%) in the age group 5 to 8 [2]. In a study conducted in Kahramanmaraş/Turkey, the overall prevalence was reported as 6.5% with a maximum prevalence of 10.4% at age group 6 to 8 [14]. Yet in another study from Turkey the prevalence was reported as 11.14% among 1,077 children aged from 5 to 12 [4]. The higher incidence in small children may be related to predisposition to infections in the first years of primary school education.
The etiopathogenesis of OME is multifactorial. There are certain individual and environmental risk factors in the development of OME including sex, socio-economic status, family history, birth and neonatal history including breastfeeding, passive smoking, recent history of hearing loss, allergies, nasal symptoms, acute tonsillitis, recurrent and recent upper respiratory tract infections, previous history of acute otitis media, effect of the season and attendance to daycare centers. In our study, we found no association between sex and OME. There are some studies that discussed the higher prevalence in males [30, 31], but most of the publications have not shown an effect of sex on OME [32, 33].
Generally the first and the only symptom of OME is hearing loss. As most of the children suffering from OME are under the age of six, the significance of this symptom is suspicious. The insertion of a ventilation tube is the standart treatment of noncomplicated, persistant OME. By this means, middle ear aeration and resolution of the effusion is achieved and hearing loss is prevented.
Passive smoking is one of the most studied risk factors of OME. In a review study done by Blackley and Blackley, they reported that there is insufficient data to indicate a relationship between passive smoking and middle ear disease [34]. In literature there are studies that deny any association between parental smoking and OME [35, 36], however, many other studies demonstrate a clear relationship between them [37, 38]. Maw et al. noted that clearance of glue was statistically less frequent where the child's mother or where both parents smoked [39]. In their study Gultekin et al. demonstrated that smoking history of mother during pregnancy or father was not significant risk factors for the development of OME but smoking history of the mother was one of the contributing factors. They clarified their theory, by suggesting that this may be due to the close relationship between mother and child, and that children spend a longer time with their mothers [2].
In our study we evaluated exposure to cigarette smoke in terms of mother only smoking, father only smoking and both parents smoking and demonstrated that parental smoking in any way results in a higher prevalence of OME. Similarly, there was statistically significant assosiation between requirement for insertion of a ventilation tube and exposure to cigarette smoke. The rate of requirement for insertion of a ventilation tube was found to be significantly higher in children who were exposed to cigarette smoke.
Our study summarizes the prevalence of OME among primary school children in Rize and exposure to cigarette smoke which is one of the environmental factors for the development of OME. We demonstrated that exposure to cigarette smoke increases risk of OME and resistance to medical treatment. The potential of OME to cause a series of sequels and complications such as tympanosclerosis, retraction pockets, adhesive otitis media and hearing or speech impairment or even permanent hearing loss makes the disease an important public health problem. To prevent delayed diagnosis or development of this disease, parents must be informed about the preventable risk factors and symptoms for the development of OME.

The Porsche Cayenne S gets a new 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 for 2015. We take one out for a spin in California to see if it's still as engaging as the old V8 model.

Porsche's GT division discounts the possibility of going after rival automakers' performance crossovers with hardcore versions of the Cayenne or Macan. In fact it wants nothing to do with all-wheel drive altogether, even as it embraces turbocharging and dual-clutch transmissions.

262015 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S gets faster, more powerful [w/video]

Porsche knows that to keep up, a model has to keep evolving. For the latest 2015 evolution of the Cayenne Turbo S on display at the Detroit Auto Show, it now packs integral turbos housed directly in the exhaust manifolds. The move allows power to grow to 562 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, while shedding a half-second off the sprint to 60. The German brand also claims that the improved version can lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in a blink less than eight minutes.

The Turbo may be the most powerful model in the Cayenne range, but the GTS is arguably the enthusiast's choice. (In so far as a 4,500-pound crossover can be considered an "enthusiast's choice," anyway.) And now, after refreshing the rest of the Cayenne lineup, Porsche has revealed the new Cayenne GTS, alongside its new 911 GTS stablemate, here at the LA Auto Show.

Porsche unveiled a slew of refreshed Cayennes just a few months ago, but the base model (right) and high-performance GTS trim (above) were conspicuously absent from that list. There's no more reason to wonder about them, though, because the German brand plans to unveil both at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19.

Think of the electric motor in the facelifted 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid as the cream filling in an Oreo cookie. Under the hood of this plug-in hybrid crossover is a 333-horsepower, supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 95-hp synchronous electric motor sandwiched between it and an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The clutched powertrain allows pure combustion, pure electric or a combination of both to drive all four wheels through Porsche's permanent all-wheel-drive system.

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
HANDCUFFS pitcher Bruce trade
I have Marmol, he has Putz. 12 teams, no keepers.
I send Verlander, Morrow, Bruce
I get Halladay, Wood.
Good move?
Another objective of this trade is for me to clear up a roster spot for Willingham who just got activated from DL as well...
Thanks in advanceSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Do it in a second. Halladay is a top 5 pitcher this year.
thats a really good trade for you. Halladays a top 10 starter IMO and wood is a solid closer and he wont lose the job to marmol.. and u have willingham who is better than bruce so why not do it
Good trade, Bruce has fallen off the mountain and you can still get something for him. Wood is solid and Halladay is good but has little run support so he will get you K's, ERA and WHIP.
I'd say do it. Morrow is only going to help a team for a little while. And, as I have been an advocate for Bruce, if you can get this kind of value for the guy, trade him. Willingham may well have a better season here on out than Bruce. You're getting a much better option at closer. As it looks like Wood is gonna hold on to his job, while Marmol struggles. (your opposing owner may not know this) And you also get a better starter.
- 1 Reply to Wally
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I mean I think I'm maximizing Morrow's value by sending him to the Putz owner. Also, in case Wood does get hurt, I have Marmol as his 2nd-in-line. I also just think that Halladay is consistently a top notch pitcher year in and year out and will be a slight upgrade to Verlander. And I like Willingham a lot, while trying to squeeze whatever value is left out of Bruce

Don't You Know!
The meeting of the gang of troublemakers, Individuals For Justice, in front of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit last Thursday was great; we smiled. I had new signs, Martha Perez came to stand with us, Joe-Anybody was there for some fun and document what we were doing. We blasted Judge jay bybee a bit, (in absentia) and told people who and what he did during his reign of terror before, and during the invasion of Iraq. Just about everyone we talked with was aghast and could not believe what this monster had justified. We told them about Gitmo, and other prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan; they were shocked and angry. We handed out pink leaflets, (In honor of Code Pink) with information about the torture judge, and when people found out that no person has been brought forward to answer to the torture charges save lowly National Guard members, they were confused. I know that feeling. Video of event here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFo2WuFsH7k
Our small group talked a bit about the coming elections and we made the point that the democrats would begin fear mongering in the coming weeks. We were wrong.
I came home Thursday afternoon and listened as the democratic propaganda came over the TV and radio; it had begun!
The message goes something like this, be afraid of the republicans taking back the House of Representatives and/or the Senate. They will kill Social Security, they will hold investigations into the Obama Administration, they will pass tax breaks for the rich and screw over the working families and also kill the middle class---be afraid and even if we dems screwed over you for the last four years the republicans are worse. The lesser of two evils argument does work. I am hearing those "would be" progressive talk radio hosts tell us how good and wonderful the Obama Administration is; they drank Nancy Pelosi's kool-aid!
Thom Hartman a long time radio host seems to think that all you have to do is go to the democratic meetings and take over, good luck with that one. He constantly talks about working inside a corrupt system to make it better. You cannot make it better Thom. The democratic party is on its death bed, going to die soon.
Ed Shultz is also using his radio and TV show to push the concept of we must unite as progressives and vote for the lesser of two evils. Sorry Ed, thousands upon thousands of democrats will sit this election out because they are pissed.
Randy Rhodes is a surprise and a disappointment for me, she thinks that President Obama is doing a good job, actually thinks things are heading in the right direction if only we give Obama more time. Sorry Randy you have, like so many good people, been taken in by a bright and artful used car dealer that sold you a lemon.
Here in Portland, Oregon we have our "Only Progressive Talk Show on Radio" with Carl Wolfson, delivering the democratic line and people like wyden, and blumenauer are allowed to sell their goods without any callers being able to question them on anything. Merkley does take some calls and so will DeFazio. Carl got a flash for you, "You ain't no Progressive, you are just a voice for the democratic party."
So what do we do?
I will not vote for any candidate on the national level from the Democratic or the Republican parties unless they have signed on to the following:
1. Call for the end of Empire and the deployments of troops outside the United States. Notify all foreign governments that within a few years or ASAP we will close our bases and bring our troops home, (about 1000 bases)
2. End all foreign aid to countries that have not been declared a disaster area, end all military aid---period!
3. Call for a real peace conference concerning the Middle East. Representatives at the round table must be sent by the Palestinians and the Israeli people, not picked by the US or any other country. Must have the real player at the table not the phonies we have today.
4. Call for real jobs bill, something on the order what FDR did just before WW2.
There are many more things, but these would be such a pleasant surprise that I would vote for someone who talks this way. Sen. Bernie Sanders talks this way.

Galena Biopharma, Inc. (GALE) Pipeline Products Include Immunotherapy Cancer Treatments 1 commentFeb 3, 2014 2:17 PM | about stocks: GALE
Galena Biopharma is focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing innovative therapies addressing major unmet medical needs using targeted biotherapeutics.
Abstral, the Company's sublingual formulation of fentanyl citrate, provides statistically significant and rapid relief of breakthrough cancer pain for patients with all types of cancer, providing improvements in pain-related daily function and patient quality of life. Currently in clinical trials, though, is NeuVax (neliepimut-S or E75), one of Galena's cancer immunotherapy treatments.
The immunotherapy of cancer aims at specifically activating cells of the immune system, especially the so-called cytotoxic T-cells ("killer T-cells") to seek out and eliminate tumor cells while not harming healthy tissue.
NeuVax works by turning on the immune system. It recruits the main components of the cellular immune system to fight cancer by presentation of a T-cell peptide epitope in the context of the peptide-HLA-T-cell receptor complex-effectively using the patient's own immune system (i.e., nature's own defense system against foreign or harmful germs) for the treatment of the cancer.
Folate Binding Protein-E39 (NYSE:FBP), another Galena treatment, is a targeted vaccine aimed at preventing the recurrence of ovarian, endometrial, and breast cancers. It has very limited tissue distribution and expression in non-malignant tissue making it an ideal immunotherapy target.
The FBP vaccine consists of the E39 peptide derived from the folate binding protein combined with the immune adjuvant granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and is specifically used to treat endometrial and ovarian cancers.
Ideally, a vaccine is specific and should only affect the cancer cells and not attack normal cells. Cancer immunotherapy causes the immune system to make antibodies to one or several specific antigens, and/or make killer T cells to attack cancer cells that express those antigens. Similar to prophylactic vaccines, Galena's cancer immunotherapies can be delivered with adjuvants, which are designed to boost the immune response.
