Des Moines, Iowa-based artist Gary Keenan moved nearer to completion on his bear carving in front of Wingo Hall at the University of Central Arkansas on Thursday. The large carving, done with a myriad of chainsaws, will be receiving a coat of stain to make its coloring closer to that of an actual bear.

The completion of the work to rehabilitate seven stations along the D Line in Brooklyn was marked on August 2, 2012, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by MTA leaders and local elected officials.
We installed great new artwork at each of the seven stations. Here are details for the artwork shown in this image and its location.
20 Avenue Station -
Artist: Odili Donald Odita
Title: Kaleidoscope
Date: 2012
Medium: Laminated glass
Location: Platform windscreens
Fabricator: Depp Glass, Inc.
This station has a combination of a busy commercial district and a perpendicular axis, in that the tracks are north and south while 20th Avenue runs east and west. Mr. Odita's work, titled Kaleidoscope, is based on the color and atmosphere within the surrounding community. His work is non-objective in that there is no imagery; instead, there are bands of color. In the medium of glass, the work will be aided by the strong light available to this particular station, and since there is no specific imagery to interpret, it can be visible and enjoyed by those one to two blocks away who will the color bands which will appear to be suspended above 20th Avenue.

The completion of improvements at Murray Hill Community Center has made a big impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
Last fall, work began on the construction of a new press box, concession stand, outfield scoreboard, and most importantly, restrooms at the community center’s adjoining athletic field.
Previously, neighborhood and recreational events either had to forego restroom facilities or have portable toilets brought in to meet the needs of the attendees, limiting participation from the community. In addition, prior to two years ago, there were no youth athletics held within the neighborhood or the Murray Hill facility.
Today, the City’s Recreation Department has 135 participants in its Murray Hill youth baseball and softball programs and approximately 90 participants in its youth football program. The improvements to the facility are assisting in meeting the needs of the growing involvement from the community.
New Rocky Mountain Regional Veterans Affairs Medical Center to accept outpatients beginning July 27
A ribbon cutting ceremony for the long-anticipated completion of a new VA hospital in Colorado drew hundreds of Veterans, VA employees and politicians. The Rocky Mountain Regional Veterans Affairs Medical Center located in Aurora, replaces the original hospital in Denver which was built more than 60 years ago. “A promise was made to Rocky Mountain veterans and today we are delivering on the promise,” said acting VA secretary Peter O’Rourke during his keynote speech Saturday. The 1.2 million square-foot state-of-the-art facility will serve more 390,000 Veterans and will offer services including a 30-bed spinal cord injury clinic, aquatic therapy, mammography and PET scans for cancer and prosthetics. There will also be expanded telehealth services, polytrauma and a traumatic brain injury unit located on the 31-acre site, The hospital also includes 900,000 square feet of parking space for staff and patients.
Prior to the ceremony, O’Rourke was granted an extensive tour led by Sallie Houser-Hanfelder, director of the VA Eastern Colorado Health Care System. Stops included the hybrid operating room, the aquatic therapy center and occupational therapy room. He also talked with Veterans who receive services from the current Denver facility, including 102 year-old WWII Veteran, May Alm, who was a member of the Army Nurse Corps and served as a VA nurse in Washington state until 1981. O’Rourke, Alm and her daughter Marie had a spirited conversation. “Alm is living testament to the honorable men and women who put their lives on the line to defend this great Nation,” O’Rourke told the crowd during the ribbon cutting ceremony.
The acting secretary also visited with Marvin Meyers, who was an instrumental force and advocate for the building of the new facility. The 89-year-old previously served as president of the United Veterans Committee of Colorado and is a longtime member of the organization. Meyers told O’Rourke that he was both encouraged and excited about the opening of the Rocky Mountain Regional Veterans Affairs Medical Center.“The time has come to move forward while providing our Veterans the best quality care and the latest technology,” O’Rourke told the audience. “Today we open a state of the art facility here in the Denver region and embrace a continuously transforming and evolving health care landscape.”
The Rocky Mountain Regional VAMC will officially open for outpatient services on July 27 and current Denver VA patients will be moved to the facility on August 4th.

FORT IRWIN, California -- The New 2016 Weed Army Community Hospital: A Quality of Life Benefit Realized at Fort Irwin.
The Weed Army Community Hospital replacement hospital, scheduled for completion in the fall of 2016 was conceived to improve the medical care provided to Soldiers, military families, and retirees in the Fort Irwin community.
No less important, the hospital will also support brigade-size units that rotate in and out regularly for training at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin’s largest tenant. Since 2001 rotating units have been trained at the NTC for tours to Afghanistan and Iraq and are today being prepared for deployments to potential international trouble spots, peace-keeping missions and in support of allies around the globe. The installation conducts about 10 training rotations per year.
The new facility will effectively be able to accommodate any scenario – emergency or otherwise – in support of the NTCs approximately 10 training rotations per year (more than 50,000 visiting service members) as well as maintaining its commitments to the Fort Irwin Garrison population.
This mission-critical project includes the design of a 21,600 square foot replacement hospital, clinic alterations, utility plant building, ambulance shelter, and helipad. Combining state-of-the-art facility design with innovative energy conservation and generation, the e facility will be the nation’s first carbon-neutral hospital, and it sets a precedent for future military medical facilities.

The Swedish Cottage is an 1875 period home that was constructed in Sweden and shipped to America for display during the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. Upon completion of the Exposition, Frederick Law Olmsted convinced park officials that the building would make a wonderful display within Central Park. The park obviously agreed as they paid the sum of $1,500 in 1877 to acquire the cottage and have it transported to its current site.
The cottage is designed in a Nordic Romantic style complete with a Baltic fur façade. The building underwent a complete restoration in 1996-1997 to repair its exterior.
Since its arrival, the Swedish Cottage has served a number of purposes within the park. Its first primary usage was as a tool shed before being converted into a rest stop. Apparently this function did not bode well with Swedish-Americans who took offense and park officials once again were left to rehab the building. During its next life the structure served as an entomological laboratory for studying insect life within the park. It was during this time in the 1920s that the New York Bird and Tree Club conducted regular meetings here. Amongst the members who may have graced its interior include Mrs. Thomas Alva Edison. For a period of time during World War II the Civil Defense group had their headquarters here. Finally in 1947 the building was outfitted to serve as its current usage as a children’s marionette theater.
The Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre is operated by the City Park Foundation and is one of the last marionette theatres in the country. Each show features hand-carved marionettes that are made by the same individuals acting out the performance. Capacity for each show is limited to one hundred children.
The Enchanted Puppet Theatre provides shows most months on the year. Typical show types are at 10:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. Tuesday-Friday. Wednesdays include an added show at 2:30 p.m. Weekend show times are solely at 1 p.m. Prices as of 2013 are $8 for adults and $5 per child. Amongst some of the popular shows that have been featured in the past includes the likes of Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Gulliver’s Travels, Hansel and Gretel, Jack and the Beanstalk, Peter Pan, Pippi Longstocking, and Sleeping Beauty. The Enchanted Puppet Theatre is located within Central Park near the approximate intersection of W. 79th Street and the West Drive.

Guinean Armed Forces soldiers display completion certificates from a first-ever Combat Life Saver course.
Wisma Atria, 435 Orchard Road, Singapore.
Wisma Atria, a five-story retail podium at the base of a 22-storey office tower, was first designed by DP Architects in 1986. The firm designed the mall’s alterations in 2004, in addition to a third incarnation planned for completion in 2012. The architectural progression, like many retail developments on Orchard Road, continues to take place within the contours of the building’s original structure.
The 2004 transformation of Wisma Atria can be considered the transition project for DP Architects towards a new extroverted mall type on Orchard Road. A façade expansion creates visual and functional links between the interior retail space and the exterior promenade: opaque cladding is replaced by glass to achieve full retail transparency; a structural framing system projects the mall outward, closer to the pedestrian streetscape; and upper retail floors have been directly connected to the promenade by means of external escalators to maximise accessibility to every floor and improve the commercial value of upper levels. This series of design moves comprehensively re-situates a 1980s mall as a street-integrated shopping centre.
The four-metre-deep structural frame exploits a 2002 Orchard Road ordinance allowing façade extensions to engage with pedestrians and facilitate alfresco dining spaces. The frame dismantles the building’s shell, operating as a moment of transition to rework sidewalk circulation and the surrounding urban context. By using the otherwise empty grid to support an outdoor landing at the second floor and glass-enclosed spaces at the third floor, the façade is endowed with a sectional layering that effectually blurs the line between the interior commercial space and the public space of the promenade. By integrating external escalators, multiple retail levels are connected with the sidewalk to functionally transform upper storeys into street-accessible spaces.
The designers have integrated a blue grid paneling to clad the building’s upper levels and perform as a unifying backdrop to the façade. This material supplements the coloured structural grid as a reference to the original building’s signature blue-tile cladding, establishing the new frontage as an architectural continuum.
New Wisma Atria Makeover, 2012
The continuing transformation of Orchard Road is in many ways driven by the competitive nature of its retail spaces. The prospective design for Wisma Atria is designed to further augment street visibility and respond to patterns of human movement through the site.
A prospective high-visibility glass wrapping will perform as a common dynamic envelope, a three storey glazed shopfront articulated to extend even further into the space of the pedestrian promenade. In an effort to impart maximum transparency and fulfill the client’s desire for an all-glass building, the design will remove the façade’s current grid, retaining only those parts structurally supporting an extended food court above. The new structure underlying the triangulated glazed skin is being designed using thinnest-possible members, and structural retainers are designed to enhance a sheen glazed finish. The façade materiality will become a dialogue between glass and an aluminium matte cladding affixed to structural and mechanical elements. An articulated backdrop façade on the upper levels will be clad in blue horizontal strips of hollow channel, once again maintaining aspects of the mall’s earliest character.

Our new cellar door and Biodynamic Food and Wine Interpretation Centre nears completion.
The image was captured at Granton Vineyard in southern Tasmania. The 25ha site is home to the wines of fifth-generation winemaker Steve Lubiana. The Lubiana family create cool climate, artisan wines from grape to glass in Australia's picturesque Derwent Valley. Sustainable biodynamic vineyard practices and a state of the art on-site winery ensure complex New World wines of excellence and distinction that merit comparison with those of the Old World.
Stefano Lubiana Wines is rated 5 red stars in the James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2013.
In May 2010, Decanter's Andrew Jefford named Steve Lubiana as one of Australia's ten bravest winemakers: 'their wines accurately, uncompromisingly and sometimes beautifully reflect their origins. They are like nothing else on earth."

LUC has worked with a large multi-disciplinary team to deliver a sustainable infrastructure and development masterplan to guide the long term transformation of Shawfield in Glasgow’s East End. LUC also led the design and implementation of an advanced phase of public realm and landscape works that now forms a framework for new development to be realised over a 20-25year horizon.
Prior to construction the site was heavily contaminated and consisted of large areas of vacant and derelict land together with dated business and industrial premises. The site was completely cleared and underwent significant ground remediation in advance of the public realm works to ensure the site is ‘development ready’.
LUC developed a green infrastructure strategy to inform the masterplan design with an emphasis on integrated surface water drainage and pedestrian connectivity to surrounding communities, transport nodes and the River Clyde corridor.
The Clyde riverbanks have been manipulated to provide new pedestrian and cycling infrastructure and this now provides an extension to the strategically important Clyde Walkway.
An ecologically diverse mosaic of riparian woodland, grassland and wetland habitats has been created that will improve the biodiversity of the River Clyde corridor.
A new strategic pedestrian and cycling link has been created linking the new South Dalmarnock Smart Bridge with the centre of the masterplan site, improving connectivity in the area. In contrast with the more naturalistic riverside treatment this link is more formal in character with strong tree avenue planting, lighting and paving patterns.

About 60 people from various countries of the Americas participated in this 2-week summer intensive held by Danza Contemporanea de Cuba. I took classes mainly in Cuban modern technique, and a few in Afrocuban dance, modern barre technique, and methodology. I met dancers from Argentina, Belize, Chile, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the US, and of course Cuba. What a great experience, and what a beautiful technique-- a syncretism of classical Graham technique and Afrocuban folkloric dance. I am anxious to continue to dig deeper into this technique, though it's not quite the same without the live drummers, sweltering heat and surroundings of palm trees-- and instructions in a language I only rudimentarily understand.

Last night we celebrated Ellie’s completion of eleven full years of life. As an eleven-year-old now, she’s in that awkward present-buying stage where she’s too old for the simple toys of childhood yet too young for presents like, oh, diamond necklaces and such. So, we refrained and she got to enjoy unbejeweled, simple gifts like this compact mirror, a detangling brush, and Chap-Stick.
Thankfully, we had grandma and grandpa on hand to bring out the big guns with a brand-new bike! Sure, it’s not diamond-encrusted, but Spring is upon us and it’s time to get out and ride!
Happy Birthday, Ellie!
