The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Utah Architecture Design Awards competition, which honors architects who meet client goals with exceptional designs, is inviting a "people's choice" vote starting today on The Salt Lake Tribune Web site.
We are excited to see what how the public responds to the projects entered in the competition, said John Sparano, with the AIA Utah designs awards program.
We want to give people an opportunity to pick out the buildings they like the most, inviting them to think about their built environment, which affects the way we live, work and play.
Tony Semerad, the Tribune's online editor, said the Tribune has compiled the entries, complete with pictures and project descriptions from the Utah-based applicants, at .Official voting runs through Oct. 25, with results to be published Oct. 30.
The 39 entries in the competition represent a wide range of styles, projects and geographical points, from an environmentally innovative home on the Navajo Reservation in Utah to the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument Science and Visitor's Center in Escalante to the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah.

RONALD BROWNSTEIN /WASHINGTON OUTLOOK Local Governments Get Serious About the Environment
major southland art museums
culture, natural history
Art Museums Most E-mailed Ronald Brownstein In the absence of serious national action, state and local governments and the private sector are taking the initiative in confronting the interlocked problems of global warming and energy conservation.
The most dramatic example is the legislation California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed last week mandating reductions in the state's emissions of the gases associated with global warming. But city governments and the private sector are also formulating some of the most innovative responses to a problem the federal government still refuses to confront head-on.
Exhibit A is a recently announced partnership between the American Institute of Architects and the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
The two groups have committed to an exhilarating goal: cutting in half by 2010 the amount of fossil fuels used to construct and operate commercial and residential buildings and then achieving steady further reductions. By 2030, they want to produce "carbon neutral" buildings that will rely on conservation and

ARCHITECTURE
History museum's roomy redesign faces test of time
By Blair Kamin
Tribune architecture critic
Published October 1, 2006
History has a way of repeating itself, which must be frightening for the people who run the Chicago History Museum as they unveil their skillfully designed but unspectacular new quarters to the public this weekend.
Eighteen years ago, the museum, then the Chicago Historical Society, opened a handsome, if somewhat fussy, contextualist wing by Chicago architects Holabird Root along North Clark Street. At the time, critics opined that the wing would beckon visitors inside to bright, upbeat exhibits and demonstrate that the museum was no bastion of fuddy-duddies. In recent years, however, attendance has sagged.
So one has to wonder whether the museum's $27.8 million renovation, principally designed by Chicago architects Hammond Beeby Rupert Ainge, will turn out to be deja vu all over again. Design can help change the world, but it can only do so much. And in a world obsessed with celebrity and spectacle, and given to saccharine theme park versions of history, real history has a lot stacked against it.
Still, the renovation is a mostly c

When it was built in 1963, there was outcry over Centre Point's ugliness. By 1995 it was listed. Now plans for Seifert's landmark offer an opportunity to transform the areaStephen BayleySunday October 1, 2006
ObserverOxford Street may be the world's most famous shopping street. At one-and-a-half miles long, with about 300 shops (not counting a shifting horde of licensed and unlicensed mobile vendors of heritage tat, fruit, novelty T-shirts, sugared nuts, pirate DVDs, nylon socks, tickets, politically incorrect carbonated drinks and freesheets) it is also one of the most crowded on the planet. It is also unspeakably vile, a sewer of vulgarity, greed and architectural short-termism.
Populated only by bewildered tourists and demoralised visitors from out of town, this squalid channel of deranged consumerism is fastidiously avoided by native Londoners. If shopping is a significant cultural occupation of the early 21st century, then this is culture we can manage without.
It has always been like this. The horrors of Oxford Street were described generations ago by the patrician John Summerson in his book Georgian London. The architectu

If your long-term interests run more toward practice management or real-estate development, this can be a very good combination of degrees -I have both and have not regretted the additional effort required. However, if your goal is to be a practicing architect, I think you should be very deliberate in your reasons for doing this. It can be very expensive and demanding .to practice at a very high level, you really don't need the MBA (in my view) to be honest ,i haven't really checked out all the details of what wharton offeres -but i was thinking that it would make me worth more(salary-wise) comming out of school (w. loans and that if/when my own practice is ever an option -it could benifit from hybrid disciplines. whatif, instead of or in addition to normal fees for a job, the design firm could get a stake in the building? i don't know enough about how relestate works .but something like that sounds cool -also -assuming glorious design projects don 't fall into my lap -Convincing' developers or other clients that design is worth something ,but being able to present it in their terms. would seem usefull .sort of like a way to hack into the developers side and plant an architecture vi

Art Museum Reviews Most E-mailed By Christopher Hawthorne, Times Staff Writer So Daniel Libeskind knows his way around a master plan after all.
The architect's new wing for the Denver Art Museum, his first finished building in the U.S. appears at first to be primarily an example of aggressive form-making a branding exercise for designer and client alike. Libeskind says the museum's angular, titanium-clad exterior, a dazzling piece of architectural sculpture, was inspired by the Rocky Mountains. But it looks more like a collection of metal shards frozen in the middle of a huge explosion.
Inside, the soaring, canted gallery walls and corkscrew circulation pattern produce one dramatic view after another. They also make it impossible to clear your head long enough to consider the art in anything close to a contemplative state.
The combination of visual delight and nearly physical unease produced by the museum hardly comes as a surprise. Libeskind's few completed buildings most n

ARCHITECTURE NOTES
Tug-of-war over top design job
By Blair Kamin
Tribune architecture critic
Published September 29, 2006
On Sept. 6, The Wall Street Journal reported that Thomas Gordon Smith, a leading classical architect from South Bend, Ind. was set to become the chief architect of the U.S. General Services Administration, the agency that constructs a variety of federal buildings, including courthouses, office buildings and border stations.
Some modernists were apoplectic, charging that Smith's devotion to traditionalism would set back the progress made by former GSA chief architect Ed Feiner. Feiner spearheaded a design excellence program and recruited leading modernists such as Thom Mayne of Santa Monica, Calif. and Richard Meier of New York City to design federal buildings.
In classical quarters, there was rejoicing about a resurgence of marble and white columns. Modernists have had their chance to shape the nation's appearance, and few people would say that it's more pleasing today than it was before, wrote the editorial page of the Providence Journal, which serves as a sort of Fox News of architecture criticism.

UCSD Music Department confident concert hall with first-rate acoustics is approaching fruition By Preston Turegano
UNION-TRIBUNE ARTS WRITER
October 1, 2006
For $5.5 million, your name can be on UCSD s new concert hall, or even the entire Music Center.
Already, 42 million has been appropriated by the state Legislature. Another $6.5 million is expected to come from special funds made available to UCSD Chancellor Marye Anne Fox. And an anonymous donor recently added $1 million, according to Rand Steiger, chairman of the university s Music Department.
That leaves $5.5 million in private donations still to be raised on the $53 million facility. Construction could begin by the end of the year.
If we don t break ground by November, the whole project will have to be put out to bid again, because that s when the current agreement w

A recent study had the details. Voters in this country, it said, are getting older and less diverse.
This is not exactly a news flash. The diversity issue is a topic for another column, but the lack of participation by young voters has been an ongoing concern.
They have not been involved, don't seem interested and haven't been the political force anyone expected. Which gave some political thinkers an idea: Why not find a way to vote on the Internet?
In fact, Internet primary elections in Michigan in 2004 and Arizona in 2000 (both paid for by the Democratic Party in those states) were big hits, with only minor glitches.
To me it isn't rocket science, says Charles Smith, the former director of online voting service Election.com, which ran the Arizona primary. Sixty percent of the younger generation would vote (if it was possible online) That is based on our test trials.
Only 1,708 voters between the ages of 18 and 30 cast ballots in the 1996 Democratic primary there, but when online voting was available in 2000, the number jumped to 7,760, officials say. Not only that, it was the largest turnout for a primary since Democrats began conducting them in 1984.

But be warned: You'll be busy. There are an array of speakers, performers and cultural attractions in every corner of Downtown.Established in 1937, Town Hall Los Angeles is devoted to examining issues that affect the community in a public forum; the program is modeled after the open space at the heart of ancient Greek cities. In the past, the organization has brought in everyone from John F. Kennedy to Paloma Picasso to Carl Sagan. This season, Town Hall deals with issues ranging from homelessness to global warming. On Oct. 11, Town Hall poses the question "How do we end long-term homelessness? in a discussion moderated by City Councilwoman Jan Perry with panelists Carla I. Javits, president of the Corporation for Supportive Housing; Jeff Schaffer, assistant vice president of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and Lisa Watson, director of the Downtown Women's Center.

Issues relate to the creation, preservation, restoration, maintenance, and best use of these spaces. The Context With more than 27,000 acres of parks, playgrounds, beaches and other recreational areas, New York City has the largest city park system in the U.S. Add to that a state park in every borough, the Gateway National Recreation Area and four botanical gardens. Yet the city has fewer acres of green space per person than any other major American city, and many neighborhoods lack parks. Community gardens on vacant city lots -there are more than 750 -are often the only green oases in low-income, minority communities.

The familiar "circle W" trademark remains engraved in the building's tower faade.The date of the building's completion is unclear; it is cited as 1922 by one source and "circa 1930" by another. What is not in dispute is the building's original purpose; Westinghouse manufactured elevators in the handsome six-story industrial building. Decades later, the structure was re-purposed for leather goods manufacturing and storage. Unfortunately, records of the architects who originally designed the concrete Art Deco jewel are not available.The original building on San Pedro Street was constructed of poured-in-place concrete, with distinctive overscaled mushroom-capitol columns and large industrial steel windows.In 2003, the Hollywood-based firm Milofsky and Micha

Coalition protests selective restrictions on construction in Gemmayzeh
'We are only asking that regulations apply to all buildings'
By Lysandra Ohrstrom
Daily Star staff
Friday, September 29, 2006 BEIRUT: A coalition of architects, engineers, business owners and residents of Gemmayzeh submitted a petition to the Public Works and Transport Ministry this week protesting the planned construction of 10 high-rise residential towers, which conflict with both the "the neighborhood's historic character" and a long-awaited set of urban-design regulations issued by the Directorate General of Urbanism (DGU) on September 13.New building permits for Gemmayzeh had been on hold for a year pending the release of a DGU study, but less then a week after the freeze was lifted rumors began circulating that the government was planning to exempt 10 private landowners from new guidelines, said one of the group's organizers. The problem is the ambiguity, said architect and heritage activist Fadllallah Dagher.Nothing has been announced officially but we hear the government is preparing to issue permits to developers, and in parallel the urban planning authorities have implemented regulations for Gemmayzeh t

Abstract. Editor-in-Chief Kim Williams introduces the articles in the Nexus Network Journal vol. 7 no. 2 (Autumn 2005)
Letter from the Editor
The question raised by Mario Salvadori at the very first Nexus conference in 1996, would seem to have been amply answered during the 10 years that Nexus has existed. The archive of research articles that has been created first in the series of Nexus conference books (five books to date, with a total of 72 papers) and the seven years of the Nexus Network Journal (with a total of 95 papers) speaks for itself. Nexus has matured. I am very pleased to announce that beginning in 2006 with vol. 8, the NNJ will be published by of Basel, Switzerland. Birkh user's interest in the NNJ reflects the journal's maturity and reputation for maintaining the highest academic standards. But don't worry, NNJ readers are not rid of me yet! I will continue in my position as Editor-in-Chief.
With the sixth Nexus conference planned now for 2006 (7-10 June, Genoa, Italy, sponsored by the Department for the Science of Architecture, University of Genoa) the discussion that David Speiser begins, entitled ,is particularly timely. As Dr. Speiser has said to me in conversatio

LocalLinks The sonic wizardry of Miles Davis, careening across a 19-minute track from 1969, now casts a visual spell over downtown Miami. Decades after hearing that otherworldly trumpet, artist Gary Moore has drawn upon it to fashion a plaza at the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts.
As a young man coming of age in Philadelphia, Moore, a self-dubbed "yippie-hippie child, submerged himself in the music of his time -from the thudding rock monotone of Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida to the rough-and-lush harmonies of The Temptations. But it was Davis' Pharaoh's Dance -a raucous cut from Bitches Brew -that pierced Moore's dreams and inspired him to design an art installation specifically for the center.
When I first heard that record, it was like total freedom, Moore recalls. It was just like a space somewhere, coming from the cosmos.
And I've always wondered about the title; the whole idea of a pharaoh dancing is so outrageous. What would they do? They can't touch the ground, they can't move too much. They were like gods on Earth. All they had to do was move a little finger and the whole universe would change.

ART REVIEW Tilted funhouse isn't so fun inside
major southland art museums
culture, natural history
Art Museum Reviews Most E-mailed By Christopher Knight, Times Staff Writer THE startling new addition to the Denver Art Museum, all spiky angles and tilted walls sheathed in silvery gray titanium, looks like a gigantic crystal that has plunged from the sky and slammed into a downtown street. The violent force of the impact appears to have bent a bulky, 40-foot-tall sculptural plinth by Beverly Pepper in the plaza. Nearby, beneath one severely pitched museum wall, a monumental painted metal sculpture of a dustpan and broom, Big Sweep, by the Pop art duo of Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen seems poised for the futile task of sweeping the place into history's dustbin.
The most dynamic feature of the $91-million Frederic C. Hamilton Building, which opens to the public next Saturday, is the long, narrow wedge that thrusts up and across 13th Avenue, like a ship's prow. The sharp end points at the museum's original structure a sleek, meandering vertical tower, built in 1971.
Named for the oilman who is the museum's longtime board chairman, the Hamilton Building radiates eye-po

Abstract. Jay Kappraff examined ancient and modern proportional systems in architecture that are based on musical proportions at the Nexus 96 conference.
Musical Proportions at the Basis of Systems of Architectural
Proportions both Ancient and Modern
New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey, USA
Throughout the history of architecture there has been a quest for a system of proportions that would facilitate the technical and aesthetic requirements of a design. Such a system would have to ensure a repetition of a few key ratios throughout the design, have additive properties that enable the whole to equal the sum of its parts, and be computationally tractable-in other words, to be adaptable to the architect's technical means. The repetition of ratios enables a design to exhibit a sense of unity and harmony of its parts. Additive properties enable the whole to equal the sum of its parts in a variety of different ways, giving the designer flexibility to choose a design that offers the greatest aesthetic appeal while satisfying the practical considerations of the design. Architects and designers are most comfortable within the realm of integers, so any system based on irrati

Harris a draw -to Democrats
Party hopes voters remember her role in the 2000 election and lash back
By Linda Kleindienst
Tallahassee Bureau Chief
Posted October 2 2006
TALLAHASSEE Florida Democrats are hoping Katherine Harris could be one of the best things they have going this fall.
The Republican congresswoman from Longboat Key, who was Florida's secretary of state and chief elections officer during the 2000 presidential debacle, is running for the U.S. Senate. And Democrats across the state are banking that her presence on the Nov. 7 general election ballot unleashes a torrent of emotions from voters still angry at how she handled Florida's bungled 2000 election.
It will be the single biggest motivating tool for turnout the Democratic Party has ever seen, said U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, who expressed hope it could have an impact on the governor's race and further down the ballot. People remember but they've been waiting for an outlet to vent their anger directly at her. This is their first opportunity.
As thousands of votes -most of them from Democratic areas -went uncounted in South Florida and Jacksonville and the world was introduced to hanging and pregna

It allows you to dreamcast fresh architectural forms directly into para-neo plasmic software, so you can look at them later and decide where the cutting edge will be by Christmas. Dropping off after lunch has never been so productive.
Unfortunately I am disturbed by a string of phone calls from people who sound suspiciously like Sacha Baron Cohen taking the piss.

Hello, Subscribers:
THE WORLD
Dutch architects going with the flow
By Shelley Emling
Cox News Service
Published October 1, 2006
RIJSWIJK, the Netherlands -With more than half the country below sea level, the Dutch have for centuries fought a very capricious enemy: water.
But amid concerns over global climate change, the Dutch are turning flood management on its head by thinking of water as a friend rather than a foe.
What happens here could affect the United States, still recovering from last year's Hurricane Katrina, and other nations around the world that have sent teams here to tap into the famed Dutch expertise in flood management.
A leader in the movement here to embrace high water instead of just resisting it is architect Koen Olthuis, who considers floating buildings the wave of the future.
He foresees a world of not only floating houses, but also floating roads, hotels, offices, churches, restaurants, and conference centers. I think there are great opportunities for this in America, where the timber used for many homes is good for the water, Olthuis said. Certainly we've gotten a lot of attention since Katrina.

Rising From the Rubble Could a crumbling icon of Constructivist architecture be turned into an arts center? By Anna Malpas
Published: September 29, 2006 Director Fyodor Pavlov-Andreyevich planned to stage his latest show, a production of Daniil Kharms' surreal drama "Elizaveta Bam, on the roof of the Narkomfin building. But since the masterpiece of Constructivist architecture is almost derelict, he decided there was too much danger of crashing through someone's ceiling.
The 29-year-old director, staging only his third production, is much better known in his other role of president of Marka Face Fashion, a company that began as a modeling agency and then went into public relations. It now produces cultural events such as a recent Norman Foster exhibition and the Russian ACT festival in London.
In a Tuesday interview, Pavlov-Andreyevich said he had skipped driving Madonna to an orphanage earlier this month so he could be at rehearsals for his new production. His company brought over an exhibition featuring photographs of the singer by Steven Klein to coincide with her concert.
Not surprisingly, Monday's premiere of "Elizaveta Bam" was accompanied by an efficient PR campaign, including

Change text size HOME DESIGN ISSUE Recycle, Reuse, Re-create By Barbara Thornburg, Barbara Thornburg is a West senior editor and former president of the L.A. Conservancy and the Carroll Avenue Restoration Foundation. October 1, 2006 People in L.A. aren't the only ones getting make-overs. Buildings are too. A church, power substation, firehouse dormitory, water tower, train car, movie theater and neighborhood market are all enjoying second lives as private homes. It's part of a trend known in preservation parlance as adaptive reuse. Born again, these buildings give rise to unique dwellings with a lot of soul. They also make sound conservation sense, preserving resources and helping to put the brakes on regional sprawl. Evocative of other eras, these reincarnations are poised for 21st century sights, sounds and experiences. As one resident explained his passion for such buildings: I like putting my mark on an old space and becoming part of its history.

The conversation with Aliza Olmert -artist and playwright, social worker and wife of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert -took place in the prime minister's residence in Jerusalem two days before Rosh Hashanah. The house was full of television crews, including cameramen, lighting and sound people and journalists, who had come to conduct their traditional holiday interview. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert sat in his room with Channel 2 TV news anchors Miki Haimovitch and Yaakov Eilon. Behind him hung a large painting of cypress trees by his wife, undated and unsigned.
Why didn't you sign the painting? Haimovitch asked her. I sign only when it leaves the house, replied Olmert. And how do you sign them? she was asked. Sometimes 'Aliza O. sometimes 'A. Olmert, said the artist. That's strange, remarked Haimovitch. My son is already practicing a regular signature.
The works of art in the prime minister's residence were chosen by Aliza Olmert from the collections of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. That is the accepted practice. Until they moved in, the premises were adorned by works by veteran representatives of local art such as Reuven Rubin and Moshe Mokady. The 1920s and 1930s -in magnificent frames,

Newsday Staff Writer
October 1, 2006
Observant Jews are celebrating Monday the holiest day on their religious calendar, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, when the faithful fast and seek absolution for sins they may have committed in the past year.
It's a day that we set aside all of our other responsibilities to reflect into the God that we know and ask forgiveness for all that we have done, Jay Weinstein, the rabbi of Simchat HaLev in Syosset, said Sunday.
Yom Kippur crowns a 10-day holy period that began with the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, during which observant Jews seek to earn their place in God's book of life by reconciling personally with those they may have wronged.
During this period we go to people we've hurt and ask them for forgiveness, Weinstein said.
Considered Judaism's holiest day, Yom Kippur often draws even secular Jews to religious services. Synagogues see large increases in their attendance.
Weinstein said his regular congregation of about 50 people swells to 400 or 500 on Yom Kippur, requiring that services be held at Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay.

BOOK REVIEW Secrets, and the obvious, revealed Bob Woodward's third book about the current administration reveals that when it comes to the Bush White House and its war in Iraq, things are pretty much what they seem. By Tim Rutten, Times Staff Writer Bob WOODWARD'S "State of Denial" is the third volume in what aspires to be an inside history of George W. Bush's wartime presidency.
Less wishfully hagiographic than "Bush At War, less credulously detached than "Plan of Attack, this book's analysis essentially mirrors the shift in opinion on the administration's conduct of the war that has occurred in the foreign policy establishment's broad middle ground, where "reasonable" Republicans and Democrats still mingle in amiable, man-of-the-world solidarity. Still, State of Denial" is a dogged piece of reporting rich in anecdote, telling detail, fascinating snippets of conversation and troubling stories heretofore untold.
This is the darker Woodward disquieting scene follows chilling bit of dialogue succeeded by secret memo. The administration he now portrays is a grimly feckless assemblage of dysfunction and division, disillusion and self-delusion. Yet for all the sensational revel

from the October 02, 2006 edition -http:www.csmonitor.com/2006/1002/p01s01-ussc.html A stylish cottage for Katrina country is a hit all over By Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor OCEAN SPRINGS, MISS.
A model home here that gives Katrina's displaced an alternative to trailer living is starting to take the country by storm.
The Katrina cottage -with living quarters about the size of a McMansion bathroom -is now appealing to people well beyond the flood plain. Californians want to build one in their backyards to use for rental income to help with the mortgage payment. Modestly paid kayakers in Colorado see it as a way to finally afford a house. Elsewhere, people envision building one so a parent can live nearby.
Flying in the face of a "big house" trend, designers of these tiny abodes seem to have found a new housing niche. Some experts cite an interest by some Americans in downsizing their habitats, a reaction to the supersized home, and note the challenge of heating and cooling a big house at a time when family budgets are flat. Others note that changing demographics -more empty-nesters and single adults -may mean a timely debut of the Lilliputian homes.

Religious buildings neednt be divisive
Building Design, 29 September 2006
In the current political climate you might have noticed a certain hysteria associated with all things Islamic.
By Ali Mangera
We receive regular calls from journalists asking if our Abbey Mills Islamic centre project will be bigger than St Pauls. Size matters, but it is more than size in this case. The truth is that religions are competitive and governments use religion to fight imperial wars.
The ideological battle now taking place is at all levels, even in architecture. Last week we consulted a local residents association over an Islamic centre project. They told us they did not want a terrorist training camp on their doorstop, or Mohammedan architecture. So much for Ruth Kellys cohesive communities.
As we just want to do our job we dont want to be caught up in a geo-political proxy war or a zero sum game. We happen to be working on several Islamic projects, giving us an insight into the rich traditions in Islamic architecture which we reinterpret in our own way. In particular we have sought to develop an idea of inclusivity to provide spaces where peoples of any faith or none can come together, discuss and deb

Despite the sprawling expanse of pavement and relative lack of green space in Downtown, local restaurateurs have capitalized on Southern California's balmy weather, and the masses of workers trapped inside stuffy office buildings, to create some spectacular outdoor dining venues. The key is knowing where to look, and what doors to open.There are dozens of hidden patios, open air eateries and sidewalk bistros that give diners the opportunity to spend lunch people watching, sipping cocktails, and soaking up the sun. They run the gamut from upscale power-lunch spots to bastions for the nouveau trendy to unpretentious spaces focused on nothing more than a good meal at a low price.Perhaps the most impressive outdoor dining experience Downtown is the courtyard of Caf Pinot, replete with a view of the fountain in the small park outside the Richard J.

Change text size INNER LIFE Hollywood glam, his way With an uncanny knack for spotting a gem, Darryl Wilson turned a ranch house into an elegant version of minimalism. By David A. Keeps, Times Staff Writer September 28, 2006 WHEN Darryl Wilson says he knows "what makes a house work, he isn't just talking about floor plans and furniture placement. For years the 49-year-old designer has defrayed the cost of renovating his residences by getting them paying gigs as locations for magazine fashion spreads and print ads.
The houses that work are the ones with tons of glass and natural light, a simple white box with midcentury furniture, he says. Photographers and their clients also love the sexy backdrop of a city view.
ADVERTISEMENT Three years ago, Wilson found a Beverly Hills makeover project that was all that with a fish-shaped swimming pool and a side of Hollywood history. The 6,000-square-foot ranch home was built in 1958 by Eddie and Toni Mannix, a powerful MGM vice president and his wife, the adulterous duo portrayed by Bob Hoskins and Diane Lane in the current release "Hollywoodland. The property included an Asian-style cabana inspired by the film "The Teahouse of the August Moon.

Calling all candidates to Ward 2 Several new and old challengers are vying for the right to sit on council By John Hanan
Three years ago, current Ward 2 councillor Tony Carella retook office after defeating challenger Nick Pinto by less than a 1,000 votes. This time around, seeking his third time in office, Carella faces a far greater number of challenges -six to be exact -after a number of last minute entries to the race prior to the Sept. 25 deadline.
Among the contenders standing in the way of an easy re-election, are a former Vaughan councilor who spent more than a decade involved in municipal politics, a community activist whose been engaged with city hall for nearly as long and a former city employee who left the administration admist a lawsuit and swirling allegations of corruption.
Like all areas of Vaughan, traffic was a concern of all candidates -although their approaches to solving gridlock is as varied as their own resumes. Tandem sat down with some of the candidates to discuss this and other important area issues.

The signs are unmistakable and everywhere -from the success of Staples Center and the Standard hotel to the stunningly innovative architectural designs of the new cathedral and Walt Disney Concert Hall.

To a driver passing through the Temescal district in Oakland, the house with the high wooden fences looks like any other in the looming shadow of Highway 24.
But a closer look reveals whimsical dragon heads atop the wrought iron fencing and delicate iron vines on the doorframe. Then you hear the steady rhythmic clang of hammer against metal that hints at the activity within. In a studio that's been in his family for three generations, Eric Clausen works as an artisan blacksmith, combining modern aesthetics with the function of an ancient craft.
Blacksmithing got its start in the Iron Age, when iron ore was available in abundance and was forged into increasingly sophisticated weapons, knives and tools. By the early 1800s blacksmithing was considered "the master of all trades" because the blacksmith's work was required by so many other vocations. As Clausen points out, You needed a plow? You needed a blacksmith. Same if you wanted hammers, pliers or saws.
But with the rise of the Industrial Age and the mechanization of tool production in the 20th century, the need for the blacksmith's handiwork began to fade.
Aside from a brief period between the 1930s and 1940s whe

Saturday, September 30, 2006 Marney Rich Keenan: What's right with the universe? Oprah and her gang on XM

S ome years back at a dinner party, a very drunk cousin of mine accused me of being "Oprah-tized.
I say "very drunk" because he was, indeed, hammered, and because he thought he was belittling me. In fact, Oprah is one of my biggest heroes.
I don't know of any other celebrity who walks the walk, who consistently delivers on her aims, which she stated on Larry King the other night: What I try to do on the 'Oprah' show is uplift and entertain, give information and empower people.
Since I don't have satellite radio access, I missed the debut last week of her new channel: XM 156 "Oprah and Friends. But after being introduced to its content the other night when Larry King interviewed Oprah and her cast of radio hosts, I decided I will be subscribing. For more information, visit ,or call 800-967-2346.
To give you a primer on the well-rounded format, I've culled quotes from the hosts from CNN transcripts. Please note that while Ma

Business Designs on a fashion career BY PATRICIA KITCHEN
Newsday Staff Writer
September 30, 2006, 5:13 PM EDT
In a recent class, fashion design students at Nassau Community College were learning the ins-and-outs of draping knit fabrics on dress forms. But they've also been learning the ins-and-outs of finding entry-level employment. And that includes expanding their target employers beyond those high-profile couture houses with star-studded runway shows that get so much attention.
People forget it's not just about models who are size zero -it's about real women who are size 10, size 14 -a market that's real life, says Sharon Papp, 36, a graphic designer who is studying at Nassau for a career in fashion. It's also about creating children's wear and clothing for skateboarders. What's more, she says, you don't have to stick to people -you can even design clothing for ferrets.
Yes, couture gets most of the buzz in New York, considered the fashion capital of the country, with twice as many fashion design jobs as California, the runner up, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And with many designers working in a freelance and self-employed capacity, the New York State Labor Depart

Change text size HOME DESIGN ISSUE Soulful Digs Outside, it still looks like a church. Inside is a different story. By Barbara Thornburg, Times Staff Writer Santa Monica architect and educator Anne Troutman had just about given up on finding a home with character when her prayers were answered-an 1875 Carpenter Gothic church had appeared on a multiple listing service. It had so much heart and soul you could feel it immediately, says Troutman, who bought it less than a week later.
The humble church-Santa Monica's oldest remaining wood structure and a landmark since 1977-has had four owners and three locations in its 130-year life. It began as the Methodist Episcopal Church at Sixth and Arizona streets. Eight years later, it was transported two blocks west to Fourth Street to be closer to town; in the early 1900s it was moved to Second Street, a gift to a parish in Ocean Park.
ADVERTISEMENT Deconsecrated in 1923, it served for years as a community center for widows of Civil War veterans. Painted letters still visible above the front-door transom spell out its days as Patriotic Hall. When the building was threatened with demolition in 1971, local artist Helen Taylor Sheats saved it fro

My fascination for houses goes back to my childhood in South Australia, when I would visit as many of the elegant old homesteads that I could find, ticking them off from a list provided by the National Trust. Creeping up the drive, I would perch at a safe distance and paint or draw or photograph them, trying to absorb their atmosphere and their character, trying to imagine what sort of life went on in there, without ever daring to knock on the door or ask to look inside.
By the mid 1960s, I had moved to London, where I joined Sir Terence Conrans design company and as graphic designer and art director helped create the first Habitat catalogues. It became clear that people were looking for ideas and answers when it came to their homes and soon we published The House Book, a giant compendium of advice and inspiration. Without knowing it, I had found my home ground, or it had found me, an

Battle to save Victorian schools from bulldozers -Monday 2 October 2006 SEARCH Our siteWeb SEARCH Our siteWeb The buildings, many constructed in the early days of free education, are often structurally sound but need some work to fit them for modern needs. Campaigners say they were built to higher standards than post-war schools but fear that they will be lost under the Building Schools for the Future programme, which aims to rebuild or renew every secondary school in England over the next 10 to 15 years. The Victorian Society, a heritage charity, is holding a conference next month to discuss preserving the schools. Kathryn Ferry, the society's senior architectural advisor, said: We took this on as an issue because we were getting more and more telephone calls from people worried about their local schools being threatened with demolition. The society has welcomed plans to spend 17.5 billion by 2008 on bringing school buildings up to date. However, it is concerned that the allocation of funding 50 per cent for demolition and new buildings, 35 per cent for major refurbishments and 15 per cent for minor refurbishments plus lucrative private finance initiative contracts will be an incen

"Granted, we're the pioneers, but we'll have shopping soon, said Lexis Livengood, whose enthusiasm for the development has led her to buy a second condo in a building under construction.
In June, Mayor Richard Daley included money for an elementary school for the development as part of his $1 billion new schools plan, hoping to attract more families with children.

The development follows other large-scale downtown build-outs such as Dearborn Park and the Central Station development in the South Loop.
Those, too, were built on abandoned railroad yards and reflect a phenomenon going on across the country-the return of the middle and upper middle class to central city neighborhoods. As the movement has progressed, so has the density of developments to accommodate the market, Ryan said.

he plaza in front of the government administration building in the city of Andijan stands empty; even the birds are nowhere to be found. Exactly a year and three months later, there is not a trace of the riot that broke out in the square, or the copious blood that spilled on its marble paving stones. The only hint that anything happened here is the three police cars that receive all visitors to the city.
The Friday mosque, which the elders of Andijan say is the only building to survive the earthquake that destroyed the city in 1902, also survived the earthquake of the violent clashes of May 13, 2005. The mosque is behind an impassable concrete wall. A rusty water tower and an abandoned textile plant peek through the overgrown vegetation that surrounds it, and in place of its windows are fragments of broken glass. It has been years since the azan, the call to prayer, was sounded from the minaret of the mosque. The religious soul of the building's turquoise-tiled skeletonexpired during 70 years of Soviet repression, and has not found its way back in the 15 years of Uzbekistan's independence.

Change text size Making Converts Linda Dishman of the Los Angeles Conservancy explains the ins and outs of saving old buildings By Emily Young, Emily Young, a former editor for the Los Angeles Times Magazine, is now a contributing writer for Los Angeles magazine. October 1, 2006 Question: When did L.A. get serious about adaptive reuse?
Answer: As part of a revitalization effort, the Adaptive Reuse Ordinance approved by the City Council in 1999 made it easier to convert vacant and underutilized buildings downtown to new uses. Until then, industrial and commercial buildings could be converted to residential spaces only for artists' lofts. What the ordinance did was streamline the process and allow anyone, not just artists, to live and work in these buildings.
ADVERTISEMENT Q: Were empty buildings facing the wrecking ball otherwise?
A: Most of downtown was not under active threat of demolition, but many buildings along Broadway, Spring and Main were sitting vacant and not being maintained. A vacant building is a red alert because it's always in danger of being torn down to put up a parking lot. With no residential street life, we had vandalism, graffiti and other problems.

If youre tired of the mind-banging cities of Italys south, you might try a ramble in the Salento, the heel of the Italian boot. The landscape is watery and soundless. It is dominated by farmhouses tiny manor houses called masserie. They are usually fortified against marauders but so coquettishly dilapidated as to invite a piratical pounce.
When you steal up on a masseria from a distance, it looks so inviting, with its trailing vines and crenellated bonnet, you want to slip your arm around it and call it your own. In its inner court you may find no other occupant than a goat. Later some distracted schoolteacher or market-gardener may show you to a room in a tower.
The Salento, which lies in the Apulia region, cannot claim to have invented any part of the Italian Renaissance. It has, however, one exceedingly beautiful city, and that is Lecce, whose encircling wall permits a glimpse of spire

They say a mayor's job is never done. And this is particularly true for Mr Khunawut Mongkhonprajak, who has devoted 26 years of his life to the development of the southern border town of Betong.
An open-minded and visionary administrator, the 59-year-old mayor has spoken out against wrongful government policies that have exacerbated the crisis in the Muslim-majority provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat. He has called for respect and understanding of the local Malay Muslims' culture and way of life.
In Betong, Buddhists and Muslims in the 55,000-strong municipality have been living in harmony for a long time, thanks to Khunawut's longstanding efforts to promote the spirit of cooperation and friendship in the multi-cultural city.
People love the mayor because they know he really cares about them, said Dr Lee Sung Ting, who has been a special adviser to Khunawut for the past three years. He is always eager to listen and help his people.
Not surprisingly, visitors are seen as early as 8 a.m. at his residence. Many come to exchange pleasantries and many to seek his help on a wide range of matters. By 9.30 a.m. Khunawut will be in his Mayoral Office for a regular meeting with his sta

In the old days it was artists such as Michelangelo and Tiepolo who painted the great ceilings of Europe. Nowadays its relative unknowns such as John Mawurdjul who are taking the tradition forward in an astonishing way.
Im referring to the remarkable ceiling by the Aboriginal artist of that name that takes pride of place at the new museum of non-western art at the Quai Branly in Paris.
Painted from a palette of rich, earthy, ochre colours, the ceiling has, to western eyes an abstract look to it, although it is packed full of profound messages about the power and integrity of the land, our earth.
Elsewhere the museum includes Aboriginal paintings on both bark and canvas, as well as galleries presented like shadowy Aladdins caves that are filled with cases of fascinating artefacts, such as Inuit carvings.

Chinese President on Sunday visited the construction sites of major venues for and conveyed greetings to workers for their contribution in days when most of the people in the country are enjoying the week-long National Day holiday.
Hu stressed that to hold the Olympic Games is a dream of all ethnic groups in the country and a desire the nation has been conceiving for long.
We should try our best to make the Olympic Games successful so as to strengthen the people's confidence and go-aheadism, intensify the cohesion of the nation and drive the people to struggle for the great national revival, Hu said.
Hu said he is quite glad to know that the construction is going on well.
Noting that there were no more than two years left before the opening of the Olympic Games, Hu urged all concerned departments and work staff to further strengthen the sense of responsibility, work more arduously and cooperatively and make down-to-earth preparations for the big event.

There are two things about a building: its use and its beauty, wrote Victor Hugo. Its use belongs to the owner; its beauty belongs to everyone. His pamphlet entitled Halte aux dmolisseurs, published in 1832, was a denouncement of the destruction and alteration of historic landmarks, based on his belief that ancient buildings were part of a collective heritage. It was in part a reaction to the French Revolution of 1789-1799, during which time three quarters of Paris churches were destroyed (leading the Abb Gregoire to coin the term vandalism)
By October 1790, the Assemble Constituante had already called for a commission to identify and protect Frances great buildings. But it had limited powers and many properties suffered wildly different fates. Some were torn down in acts of populist revenge. Others were put to alternative uses not always glamorous; some buildings became the lo

Adding up the bill is itself a major challenge
Confusion still surrounds the extent of the damage in many parts of the country
By Christopher Allbritton and Rania Abou Zeid
Special to The Daily Star
Monday, October 02, 2006 The damage to roads and bridges in Lebanon from the war with Israel is so widespread that no one within the Lebanese government or independent agencies can seem to agree on how much has been destroyed or what it will cost to fix.For example, Fady Namar, an adviser to Mohammad Safadi, the minister of public works and transport, said 95 roads and 60 of 78 major bridges have been completely destroyed. Fifty bypass roads have been built since the August 14 cease-fire, mainly where bridges are completely impassible.The lead agency for reconstruction, the Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR) however, reported that only 46 bridges were found damaged, with 24 of them destroyed. The total cost of bridge reconstruction and repair is estimated [at] around $104 million, the CDR said in a statement emailed to The Daily Star.The government, in its plan put forward at the August 31 Stockholm donor conference, said that in South Lebanon, the emergency repairs to road

Bible school a meeting of the religious minds
Seminary trains holy hopefuls
Sharpen your scythe.
That was Salt Lake Theological Seminary President Don McCullough's recent advice to new recruits eager to embark in the work of harvesting souls.
We are pleased that the Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists, Evangelical Free and others come here for serious theological study and preparation, McCullough said. It is in some sense a meeting place for various denominations here in Utah.
Begun in 1984 and initially called the Utah Institute for Biblical Studies, the seminary at 699 E. South Temple prepares students for ministerial assignments in the multifaceted religious culture unique to the Salt Lake City area. It is the only graduate school of theology in the Intermountain West.
Stephanus Nunge of Rose Park, a 35-year-old lay leader of his own Sudanese church, is one of many who want the training the seminary provides.
I would do anything to go to Bible school, he said. I want to be trained so I can lead my church.
Nunge may get that opportunity. He recently met with Garry Schmidt, the seminary's admissions director, and was introduced to Tom McClenahan, a dean at

(10-01) 04:00 PDT Isla Cancn, Mexico -The sprawling, blue-tile lagoon pool at the Cancn Palace, surrounded by lounges and a view of the powdery beach and freakishly turquoise waters, was for decades a home away from home for armies of hard-partying college students. Soaking up Mayan sun and unlimited suds all day, they would revel into the night, fueled by Dos Equis and Cuervo at the all-inclusive resort's open bar.
But last year's Hurricane Wilma put an end to that, probably forever. Well, Wilma and 400-thread count sheets.
The Cancn Palace is rising again, a concrete anthill crawling with construction workers, but as with most of the huge mega-resorts in Cancn's zona hotelera, owners are not just rebuilding, but using the catastrophic hurricane damage from almost a year ago as an opportunity to go bigger, more lavish and more sophisticated -and to broaden the gap between Cancn's luxury and the binge drinking and poorly secured bikini tops of MTV's Spring Break coverage. Debauchery in the dunes, make way for Bellagio on the beach.

Once again it's time to dig into the question bag. Some of the questions we get don't lend themselves to a full column. Others present a different twist to subjects we've dealt with previously. Either way, here are three questions and answers that we think provide some valuable information.
Q: I am about to sand and re-oil a redwood deck and fencing. The wood is mainly dirty from smog and wear and tear. Lately I have been reading a lot about how dangerous redwood is to sand. Is this true? Would you recommend washing the wood first with TSP? I was obviously going to be wearing a mask, but is this a real risk that I should be worried about?
A: We don't recommend sanding at all. Although we haven't heard that redwood sanding dust is any more toxic than other types of wood dust, the tannin in redwood may well be.
But toxicity doesn't drive the bus here. Sanding is too dirty and too labor-intensive. Instead of sanding we suggest you pressure wash both the deck and fencing.
Pressure washing will literally blow the dirt and grime away. Use a wide spray pattern and keep the wand moving to avoid damaging the wood. Once the decking and fencing is clean, let it dry for sever

Even as we fill our homes with decorative and practical furnishings, most of us rarely stop to consider their origins. The other day I found myself wondering when forks came into daily use. And what about wardrobes? Or clocks?
I found some answers during a recent trip to Florence. Many of our contemporary notions about house and home including our current obsession with property and the status it confers can be traced back to the Italian Renaissance, whcih lasted from 1300 to1600. Embarking on the biggest building spree in Europe, Italians became acutely aware that their home reflected or could boost their standing in society. Wealthy merchants could suddenly compete with the aristocracy. No longer was it necessary to be a prince to own a palazzo.
The civilising effect of the Renaissance spread its tentacles into these new homes. As ideas about etiquette and politeness de

SEATTLE, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ The Seattle Cancer Care Alliance announced today it plans to develop a state-of-the-art proton-beam therapy center that will make this leading-edge form of radiation treatment available to patients in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, Montana and Wyoming. The center will begin accepting patients in 2010. Only four proton-therapy centers are operating currently across the United States, the nearest in southern California. The SCCA Proton Therapy Center represents the future of radiation therapy in the Pacific Northwest, said Fred Appelbaum, M.D. SCCA executive director and president. We are excited by the possibilities it offers, both for patients and research. It is a formidable new weapon we'll have to combat cancer. Proton beams deliver precise doses of charged particles to tumors, thereby minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Unlike conventional photon- based (X-ray) radiation treatment, proton beams deliver more radiation precisely to the targeted tumor. Higher doses to tumors increase the likelihood that tumors will be killed. Proton beams are used today to treat many solid-tumor cancers such as those of the eye, skull base, head and n

Using a puzzle and storytelling as a way to inform and engage the general public is an effective and responsible example of how landscape architects should communicate about possible solutions. This semester long studio project focused on communicating the idea of Bayou as Infrastructure for the rebuilding of New Orleans. A variety of methods were utilized to communicate this concept to the general public. While formulating the concept I experimented with video animation and storytelling in conjunction with an educational manual. After sharing these mediums with a general audience; I transitioned these ideas into a video narrative and the creation of a representational interactive model of New Orleans. The interactive model proved to be a very effective communicative tool. Its working parts were equally efficient at generating productive conversation. The audience became participatory members in the process; feeling free to ask questions

CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK Forget 'isms' except eclecticism Those discrete movements you studied in art history? They're long gone. Today, it's all about diversity and quality, of course.
major southland art museums
culture, natural history
Art Museums Most E-mailed By Christopher Knight, Times Staff Writer The question was innocent enough. What's going on with contemporary art these days?
My answer was equally candid. Beats me.
I do spend a sizable chunk of my time looking at, reading about and thinking over new art in Los Angeles and elsewhere, but the days when a succinct response might quickly sum up the art scene are long gone. Partly that's because contemporary art has gone global. The decade of the 1980s was a pivot, when New York's postwar role as serious art's only serious city came to an end.
Mostly, though, it's because art, wherever it is made, no longer subscribes to a single dominant trend with a few rambunctious alternatives jostling for supremacy. Art is eclectic and today we take that eclecticism for granted. Look around. The extreme breadth of artistic diversity is so familiar and so routine as to border on invisibility.

Panelists: Some religions villify sex
UPNet panel: Sex can be sacred
As the audience filtered into the theater at the University of Utah's Student Union Building, one college student did a double take at the doorway, squinting skeptically at the handwritten sign advertising a "Sex Positive Theology Discussion" before walking away embarrassed.
Imprinted in our cultural DNA is the philosophy that sex is sinful, said the Rev. Tom Goldsmith inside the theater for the recent discussion.
As minister of the First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City, Goldsmith was one of three religious leaders on a panel assembled by the Utah Progressive Network to discuss positive ways to view sexuality through religion.
Even the most liberal among us thinks that the church's role is to restrain sexual expression, Goldsmith added.
The panel also included Rabbi Tracee Rosen of Congregation Kol Ami and Glenn Brown from Holladay United Church of Christ. While addressing sex and religion, the panel's discussion was, at turns, theological, historical, and irreverent. The panelists also focused critically on repressive religious attitudes toward sex.

"We found our way of life"
Worshippers celebrate new Ethiopian Orthodox church
Orthodox church ever built outside of Ethiopia -and gave the metro area's estimated 10,000 Ethiopian immigrants a place to feel a little closer to home.
The way we look at our religion, it's not just to worship God but it's also our way of life, explained Yoseph Tafari, a deacon at the church. We were lost for many years without having our institution here. And now that we have our church, we have found our way of life.
Ethiopian Orthodox is a Christian religion that is 2,000 years old.
For the congregation, the new church is a dream that was years in the making. The group used to be housed in a building near downtown Denver, a space that once was a Catholic Church.
But that church was all wrong for the group. It didn't have the golden dome that is traditional for Ethiopian Orthodox churches. The congregation, sitting in that church's pews, did not face east, as is customary.
So, about five years ago, the congregation began to put together a plan to build a new church all its own. Church leaders enlisted architects and builders, who Tafari said showed the church generosity in keeping costs

Paco is using 12-ounce cans of spray paint to fulfill his lifelong obsession: To re-create one of the world's greatest artistic works -Michelangelo's fresco on the Sistine Chapel ceiling -in his own street style.
Paco and his family have spent their life savings, and his parents have taken a second mortgage on their home, to buy a dilapidated building in this sleepy Midwestern downtown, about two hours northeast of Des Moines.
They paid $67,000 in January for the two-story, 1870s brick building that once housed an antiques store. The shop's ceiling wasn't curved, so the family hired workers to tear it down and create a plaster one that, at its highest point, is gently arched 14 feet above the

When Cristina Kirchner was pressed during political forums to explain Argentina's close ties with Venezuela's government, she responded: Nobody tells Argentina which friends to choose, according to news reports.
Argentines have grown accustomed to that tone, and they've responded to it by awarding the first couple an increasing amount of popularity and power. With him controlling the executive branch and her occupying arguably the most powerful seat in the Senate, they have formed a political partnership that dominates the Argentine political landscape. For many, the relevant question is not whether Kirchner will win next year's presidential election, but which Kirchner will win.
He's keeping his promises as president, and she's the right hand helping him get things done, said Juan Maltez, 25, a business administrator in Buenos Aires. Since they started, there's more jobs, fewer people on the streets, a smaller informal sector of the economy. So I like them both as candidates.
Though most suspect that the president will run for re-election in 2007, both of the Kirchners have been coy about the possibility of switching roles. Recent public opinion polls indicate that either would

Monday October 02, 2006 Bangkok office market remains buoyant
Securities firms among few exceptions
NINA SUEBSUKCHAROEN
While the country's prolonged political shakeup is not having much of an impact on the office market, some sectors are feeling the squeeze, says Caroline Murphy, the national director and head of commercial markets with Jones Lange LaSalle.
There are some exceptions. Finance and securities companies, I think, are shelving or putting plans on hold some are actually downsizing space. So this is an indirect result of the political situation because the stock market has been so bad, said Ms Murphy.
She said the industrial sector remained buoyant because industrialists were more focused on benefits offered by the government and other important factors rather the long, drawn-out political drama.
While companies are not economising when it comes to renting offices, they are trimming fuel and electricity costs. Landlords too are caught up in this wave and are trying to make buildings more efficient.

Every time I visit Mount Washington and look out at the Golden Triangle, I feel both pride and inspiration. From that hillside perch, you can see an amazing view of Pittsburgh, the confluence of the rivers and Point State Park. Watching the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers rush together to form the Ohio, one can't help understanding why that point of land has held strategic importance for hundreds of years.
The building of Point State Park remains one of the crowning achievements of Pittsburgh's first Renaissance. Gov. Edward Martin authorized the creation of the park in the 1940s as part of the same legislation that funded the restoration of Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The park was intended to be a place of quiet contemplation -a place for reflection on the site's nationally important role in the colonial era -complete with plantings appropriate to the 18th century.
But over the years the park also has become a place for public gatherings, which endeared it to all of us in a way quite different from its original intent. I know my family has long enjoyed the colonial fairs, festivals, concerts and fireworks in the park. Those many events have exacted a heavy toll, causing per

Anyone new to the collectors car scene in the US might have been shocked last month to see J. Peter Ministrelli part with $3.6m at an auction in Monterey for a 1928 Mercedes-Benz.
Ministrelli is one of many super-rich collectors who dont merely acquire, they give back, too. Three days later, he donated a 1934 Duesenberg Model J and a 1938 Bugatti to a Christies auction with all the proceeds (just short of $2m) going to a womens heart foundation.
Such philanthropy is not unusual in the worlds of fine art and luxury goods and, since collectors are usually discerning types with plenty of money, some high-end brands create collectable products for the principal purpose of raising cash for worthy causes.

The attached living room was rustic, with wood paneling, vaulted ceilings and somber wood beams. It was stuffy and cluttered and dark, he recalled. The couple wanted a brighter, airier space that would showcase their collection of 19th century Chinese scrolls. So they hired architect Andrew Mann to update the living room, highlight their artwork with conservationist sensitivity and find a function for the plant room.
The challenge was that the plant room got a ton of light, which my clients wanted brought into the living room -yet the scrolls couldn't tolerate direct sun. So I needed to find a way to pull light from that end of the room into the rest of the room, but to diffuse it. Mann's multifaceted solution transformed the plant room into a much-needed library, and turned the reverse face of the library wall into a display space highlighting the couple's art. He enlarged the windows in the plant room and added transom windows above the bookshelves, bringing

Enjoy a wonderful weekend in Milwaukee Monday, October 02, 2006 By Chris Welsch, Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune
The news that I was going to Milwaukee for a weekend -for fun -was greeted by groans and rolled eyes by some ignorant acquaintances who will remain nameless. To those who haven't been there recently, I can only extend pity.
In the course of three days in Cream City, I swam in my underwear on an empty beach (it beckoned with the force of any sand in the Caribbean) and basked in the ethereal atmosphere of what I consider America's most spectacular modern building (the Quadracci Pavilion at the Milwaukee Art Museum)
Those, I believe, are reasons enough to head to Milwaukee before the snow flies, but even since I left there a few weeks ago, the number of reasons to go back has multiplied. A major new museum/aquarium just opened (Discovery World) as has an art show that will end up at the Louvre (at the Milwaukee Art Museum)
Why go now
Milwaukee's urban renaissance centers on its revitalized public spaces and parks; September and early October beckon with the last chances for a swim in Lake Michigan, a meal outside along the downtown Riverwalk or a Brewers game at Miller Par

(10-01) 17:42 PDT LAVAL, Quebec, Canada (AP)
Quebec's government said Sunday it would launch a public inquiry to determine why an overpass collapsed north of Montreal, crushing five people to death.
Visiting the accident site Sunday, Quebec Premier Jean Charest gave his condolences to the families of the victims and said an inquiry by a former provincial leader would seek to shed light on the disaster.
We don't know how this happened, Charest said. The initial info we have leads us not to be able to understand how the bridge fell. We're going to want to find out how this happened and why this happened.
There appeared to have been some advance warning signs of trouble with the overpass in Laval before Saturday's collapse, which also injured six people. One witness told TVA television network that he noticed the road had sunk an inch or two when he drove on the overpass minutes before the collapse and he called emergency dispatchers.
Transport Quebec, the province's transportation ministry, also heard about an hour before the accident that some pieces of concrete were falling off the overpass, said spokeswoman Josee Se

HUMBS AREA-
If you wait long enough, they say, everything old will become new again. Bloomingdale's opens this week as part of the new, expanded Westfield San Francisco Centre on Market Street, in the space that once housed the old Emporium, one of the oldest established names in the city's retail past.
The Emporium's principal store was in a seven-story neoclassical building designed by architect Albert Pissis and was one of Market Street's defining landmarks until it was closed on its 100th birthday in 1996.
The developers have kept the Market Street facade of the 1896 Emporium and built the center's expansion around the glass dome that was the centerpiece of the old Emporium. Everything else is new.
What the developers have done, said Helen Bulwik, managing director of a retail consulting firm, is to revive the old Emporium space, which for a century anchored the heart of downtown Market Street. It's a rebirth, she says.
She compares the change to the overhaul of the old Ferry Building at the foot of Market Street, which was transformed three years ag

Capital budget unevenly divided
SLC Council: One council member says it's like owning a house, you fix what most needs fixing as money allows it
When Salt Lake City Council members vote to spend millions on sidewalks, roads and parks each year, they aren't equitable about it.
For example, for every dollar that will be spent this year on the East bench in District 6, almost 30 will be spent on the southwest side of the city in District 2.
That's the extreme, but the disparity exists throughout the city and has occurred at least during the past five years, according to an analysis of capital-improvement spending by The Salt Lake Tribune.
City Council members, even the ones whose districts snag the least money, downplay the gaps.
They say they look out for the entire city, not just their districts. Plus, they note, a project located in one district -such as adding quiet zones to silence freight-train horns -can benefit the entire city.
Just like in a house, one year you've got to fix the leaky roof, another year you need to fix the furnace, said Councilman Dave Buhler, who represents District 6, which will snare 75,625 this fiscal year to create a median island at the intersection of Ya

Following its story about the picture, one newspaper was forced to run the following clarification on that subject, certainly one of the most humbling corrections ever published: A Washington Post article incorrectly indicated that the movie `This Film Is Not Yet Rated' is rated NC-17.

AP Connecticut Report: I-84 project plagued by defective drainage system October 2, 2006, 1:00 AM EDT
WATERBURY, Conn. AP) Federal investigators are looking into why hundreds of storm drains are defective in a $52 million improvement project on Interstate 84 in the Waterbury area, The Hartford Courant reported Sunday.
Fixing the problems could cost the state millions of dollars and require newly paved parts of the highway to be torn up, the newspaper reported, citing state documents and people familiar with the project.
The project involves a 3{mile section of the highway between I-691 in Cheshire and Exit 25-A in Waterbury.
Authorities with the FBI and other federal agencies are investigating the problems, which could also add months to a project that was supposed to be completed a year ago.
Many of the drains lead nowhere, some are clogged with debris and others were apparently connected with substandard, cracked and leaking pipes, the newspaper reported.
In a memo written two weeks ago, a top DOT engineer blamed the defective drains on a "complete breakdown" in the inspection process.
The numerous types of deficiencies, the particular as well as the general defects and omissions

The Australian The Arts New China turns back to the Wall A local exhibition is breaking new ground in the study of China's historic boundaries, writes Yiyan Wang October 02, 2006 THE Great Wall of China is actually many walls, which stretch thousands of kilometres, zig-zagging and branching out in all directions, between China's northeast coast and the edges of the Gobi desert in the northwest. The history of the Great Wall is also the history of the Chinese and of their interactions with other peoples. The modern Chinese word for city derives from a combination of the words wall and market from the classical lexicon. In ancient times, the walled city was the secure space where people gathered to trade, and where state institutions were housed. So, wall (cheng) could also stand for the state (guo) to attack a kingdom on the Central Plains was to send armies to attack the walls surrounding its capital. A femme fatale in Chinese is a woman of such beauty that she could topple walls and therefore the state (qingcheng qingguo)

ENCINITAS A move by the city to ban skateboarding at fire stations, public libraries and the public works yard has triggered an impassioned plea from skateboarders for a skate facility.
The City Council expressed sympathy for their plight Wednesday night and told 20 skateboarders who attended the council meeting to work with the Parks and Recreation Commission to design a skateboarding facility.
At the same time, the council approved the ban on skateboards at the new public works yard, the Encinitas Community Library under construction on Cornish Drive, the Cardiff Library at Newcastle Avenue and at all five fire stations.
Chris Cooney, a skateboarder, said the only place to skate for free is Leucadia Oaks Park.

SURAT, India Early on a Monday morning during the August monsoon, after several days of torrential rains, the engineers in charge of the Ukai Dam upstream from this diamond-polishing hub faced a harrowing crisis. The massive dam stands 105 meters tall, or 345 feet. With water brimming well past permitted levels, according to official records, and the skies showing no sign of relief, the engineers apparently threw open the reservoir's 21 sluice gates. Water then did what water does. Like a hungry beast, it swallowed this city of three million people about 80 kilometers, or 50 miles, away down the Tapi River. The diamond lanes of India became a warren of muck and ruin. In less than three days, at least 120 people died. More than 4,000 animal carcasses were later hauled out of the mud. Two weeks after the floods,

Robert J. Pavuchak photographed celebrities and politicians, pro athletes and children. His favorite subjects were everyday people, especially in the lesser known corners of Washington County, which he photographed for many years. No matter whether he was photographing the governor or a kid with a balloon, he worked equally hard to bring their stories into the newspaper. This multimedia presentation is a tribute Mr. Pavuchak's years of prize-winning work in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette photographer Robert J. Pavuchak always got terrific photos. But often, he got more than expected.
Sometimes he got dirty, sweaty and tired. And on at least one occasion, he almost got killed.
Mr. Pavuchak, 67, of West Mifflin, retired Friday after a 40-year career with Pittsburgh newspapers, including 13 with the Post-Gazette.
His memorable career included notable photographs, including one in 1980 of Steeler Joe Greene wearing his four Super Bowl rings with his thumb sticking out in hopes of getting "one for the thumb, a line that became Steelers fans' mantra for a generation.
He captured Pirates third baseman Bill Madlock shoving his glove into an

Orrin Relations Orrin H. Pilkey, shoreline expert, answers readers' questions 29 Sep 2006 You stated that you did not want to be "written off as an environmentalist. Is that such a bad thing? Charles Cope, Arlington, Va. In some conservative circles, environmentalism is a dirty word and an opinion can be dismissed by simply claiming it comes from "radical environmentalists. I found myself so labeled by the media. When I took care to point out that my statements were based on my knowledge as a scientist, I was then asked why I belong to environmental organizations. I reluctantly resigned from most of my memberships with the hope that I could be a more effective advocate for progressive change if I were viewed solely as a scientist. In other words, my foes attempted to taint me as a tree-hugging environmentalist, when in fact I was a tree-hugging scientist. What factors have contributed most to the degradation of the esteem of science in the public eye during the course of your career? What actions can young scientists take to ensure that their voices are heard clearly so that more public policy can be decided by and based on rational scientific discourse?

And while youre there. Our top 20 tips of things to do in Venice
Friday, September 29, 2006
Heading to Venice for the RIBA conference in October? Get the full Venice experience with our guide to the city.
1. Visit the Palazzo Grassi. The interiors have just been sensitively remodelled by the Japanese Tadao Ando, retaining the best classical elements and marrying this with a spare, minimal backdrop for the mainly contemporary artworks. Entrance costs 10 Euro.
2. Tour the Rialto Market, early one morning. Every day (except Sunday) boats come in at dawn and offload everything from luscious fruit and radishes to swordfish and writhing eels. Look out for the Neo Gothic fish market at one end an old stone is engraved with the minimum lengths permitted for fish to be sold.
3. Drink a coffee at Caffe Florian, in St Marks Square. Yes, its cheesy. And over priced. But its been open since 1720. If its warm, sit outside and listen to the mini orchestra as its warbles away in the background. If you go inside admire the paintings of some of the citys most famous ancestors including Andrea Palladio, Titian, Casanova and Goldini. The coffee, chocolate and liqueurs are all excellent quality.
4. Take a

Bruce Ramsey /Times editorial columnist Initiative 933 It's about fairness
By Bruce RamseySeattle Times editorial columnist
Second of two parts The property-rights rebellion has come to the Evergreen State, hitching a ride on the coattails of Oregon's Measure 37. Last Sunday, an opponent of I-933 had his say; today, we'll hear from a proponent of the measure.
Initiative 933 is about your rights to your property. Under I-933, when government takes away some of your rights over your land and makes your land go down in value, it would have to pay you.
Government could still stop you from creating a hazard or a nuisance to your neighbors without having to pay. That won't change. What will change is that if government wants to stop you from such things as clearing brush, filling in a pond, cutting a tree, building a house or putting in a garden, and the rule it wants to impose on you was created after Jan. 1, 1996, it would have to pay you for depriving you of a right.
The initiative is spon
