NEWARK, Del. (Nov. 22, 2008) -- Villanova ran up 317 yards on the ground led by Aaron's Ball's 105 yards and two touchdowns as the Wildcats downed Delaware 21-7 Saturday afternoon at Delaware Stadium in the Blue Hens' final football game of the 2008 season. Delaware, which got its only points on a 34-yard scoring strike from Robby Schoenhoft to Martwain Johnston (above) in the final quarter, closed out a disappointing, injury-plagued season with a record of 4-8.
Despite the Fan Fest with bounce houses and face painting on the Brooks Robinson Plaza, Big Boy Brass Band, York Symphony Orchestra, and fireworks that would take place post game, Monday afternoon's contest was a quiet one offensively for the York Revolution who mustered just two hits in a 3-1 defeat to the Lancaster Barnstormers in front of 5,769 fans at PeoplesBank Park. Aside from a ninth inning homer by JC Encarnacion to avoid a shutout, the biggest highlight offensively belonged to Carlos Franco who drew a walk in the bottom of the seventh to reach base in a 46th consecutive game, setting a Revs franchise record by doing so.

Office Building, 136 East 57TH & 691-695 LEXINGTON AV, New York, NY (Architect Ely Jacques Kahn: 1930)
19-story brick office and retail building with wonderful large steel framed windows. Unfortunately the white brick is not aging well.

The architects were greatly influenced by the design of the runner-up in the Chicago Tribune competition of 1922, a work by the acclaimed Finnish architect Eero Saarinen. This was particularly in their handling of the individual setback blocks, as Robert Bruegmann observed in Chicago History (1980):
'Saarinen had solved the problem of composing the skyscraper façade by making a number of small setbacks and unifying them by the continuous deep channels of windows between the wall surfaces and by eliminating all horizontal stops. The eye tended to follow the vertical lines straight up to the top of the building, minimizing the breaks in massing and emphasising the verticality. Holabird and Root used essentially this solution at 333 N. Michigan.'
The architects further refined their treatment of the setback in subsequent buildings, including the Palmolive and the Chicago Board of Trade.
333 N. Michigan is composed of two sections: the main block, which is twenty-four storeys high, and a sleek tower to the north, that rises to a height of thiry-five storeys. The tower is composed of graceful setbacks reminiscent of the Saarinen design. The architects sited the building so that its narrow tower faced north, overlooking the open expanse of the Chicago River, which gave a sentinel quality to the structure. At the fifth floor of the building, a series of seven-foot high carved limestone panels line the façade.
In the year following the building's completion, an article in the Chicago Tribune called it one of the finest examples of modernistic architecture in the city, if not in the country.......”The lines of the building, when observed in perspective, do not present a series of right angles as is often the case in New York structures employing setbacks. The result is softer lines which many admirers of skyscraper architecture find more to their taste”

Defending democracy on the heels of Supreme Court setbacks on affirmative action and LGBTQ rights this week, fed-up activists and advocates take part in a We The People March starting at Oak Lawn Library in Dallas, Texas on Sunday, July 2, 2023. The Dallas march was one of six regional marches held over Independence Day weekend in conjunction with the We The People National March in Ft Lauderdale, Florida, where over 4,200 people from more than 70 organizations nationwide took part in the national march to also speak out and fight for people of color, women, LGBTQ+ communities, Jewish people, social justice, gun control and more. We The People is a growing coalition of citizens, groups and community leaders working to protect democracy and speak out against the nearly thousand bills authoritarian lawmakers and legislatures are introducing across the country that threaten basic freedoms and rights.

Efforts to reach Proxima Centauri have been ongoing for years, with researchers making significant strides and facing considerable setbacks. Advancements in interplanetary travel, wormholes, and black hole studies have transformed fundamental aspects of life on Planet A. Now, we observe a completely different sky, with previously unseen and unrecognised stars visible to the naked eye. This phenomenon, while breathtaking, has sparked debate over whether it signifies progress or impending catastrophe. Albert Einstein's theories on curved space seem validated, yet there are unforeseen elements, even beyond Einstein's predictions, such as the emergence of temporary rifts in space-time that allow for instantaneous travel across vast distances. These rifts, while facilitating unprecedented exploration, also bring the risk of instability, potentially merging different points in the universe unpredictably. Moreover, the altered celestial visibility has led to the discovery of new planetary bodies with unusual gravitational effects, creating both opportunities for resource extraction and threats of cosmic collisions. These developments, blending wonder with danger, continually challenge our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
Introduction on Exoplanets
Exoplanets, or extrasolar planets, are planets that orbit stars outside our solar system. Since the confirmation of the first exoplanets in the early 1990s, the search for these distant worlds has become a key focus in the field of astronomy. To date, thousands of exoplanets have been discovered, varying immensely in size, composition, and orbit. They range from gas giants many times the size of Jupiter to small, rocky planets that may be akin to Earth.
These discoveries have been made using a variety of methods, including the transit method, where a planet's passage in front of its star causes a slight dimming detectable by telescopes, and the radial velocity method, which measures the star’s wobble due to the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet. These techniques have unveiled a rich tapestry of planetary systems vastly different from our own.
The nearest exoplanets are found in the habitable zone of Proxima Centauri, the closest known star to the Sun, approximately 4.24 light-years away. If humanity could develop a spacecraft capable of reaching 25% of the speed of light, a journey to Proxima Centauri would theoretically take about 17 years. Such a voyage would represent an unprecedented technological challenge, involving extreme durations and distances far beyond our current capabilities. Yet, as we face global environmental crises such as climate change and rising sea levels, the interest in potentially habitable exoplanets as a 'Plan B' continues to grow.
Traveling to the nearest exoplanet, Proxima Centauri, at a speed similar to that of the Space Shuttle (about 28,000 kilometers per hour) would take approximately 163,429 years. This highlights the immense distance to even the nearest stars outside our solar system and illustrates the significant challenges associated with interstellar travel using today's technology.
The nearest known exoplanet is Proxima Centauri b, which orbits the star Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our solar system and is part of the larger star system known as Alpha Centauri, which also includes the brighter stars Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B.
Proxima Centauri b
Distance from Earth: About 4.24 light years.
Discovery: Proxima Centauri b was discovered in 2016 using the radial velocity method, which measures small changes in the star's speed caused by the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet.
Location in the Sky
Proxima Centauri is part of the constellation Centaurus, which is visible from the Southern Hemisphere. It is not visible from most Northern latitudes. The constellation Centaurus is far from the North Star, which is part of the constellation Ursa Minor, and therefore it is not directly related to or close to known Northern constellations.
To locate Proxima Centauri in the sky from the Southern Hemisphere:
Identify Alpha Centauri: This is one of the brightest stars in the Southern sky and serves as a guide to Proxima Centauri.
Use a telescope: Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf and is very faint, so it is not visible to the naked eye. With a telescope, it can be found near Alpha Centauri.
Poem
In the cosmos' wide embrace,
We spin, a lonely, pale blue face,
Yet out there, in the vast night sky,
Worlds beyond our sun do lie.
Whispered secrets of distant suns,
Of planets where no foot has run,
Across the stellar sea, we yearn,
For exoplanets, our hearts turn.
To Proxima’s gentle glow,
To lands where alien breezes blow,
Our dreams take flight on astral wings,
To where the starlight softly sings.
Haikus
Distant worlds circle,
Stars whispering in deep space,
Secrets held in light.
Exoplanet dreams,
Voyages across the stars,
New homes in the void.

Built in 1922-1924, this Romanesque Revival-style skyscraper was designed by Murgatroyd and Ogden along with Fugard and Knapp to serve as the Allerton Hotel, and was the first building in Chicago to feature setbacks, as mandated by the 1923 zoning law. The building stands 25 stories and 360 feet (110 meters) tall, and housed over 1000 rooms, many of which were apartment style, and meant to serve as long-term accommodation for tenants, with one of the most notable early tenants being Louis Skidmore, whom founded the architecture firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. The building also contained amenities, including a library, sports facilities, and a solarium. The 23rd floor of the tower housed the Tip Top Tap Lounge from the 1940s until 1961, which is still advertised on the building’s north and south facades, and later became home to the Cloud Room in 1963, and has served as the Renaissance Ballroom since the 1990s. The building is clad in limestone at the base, which extends up to the sill line of the fourth floor windows, with roman arched bays, brick panels around the third floor windows, with gothic arches and trim at the first and second floor bays. Above the fourth floor sill line, the building is clad in red brick, with pilasters at the corners and between window bays between the fourth and eighteenth floors, with setbacks at the nineteenth floor, and chamfered corners at the corner towers above the nineteenth floor, arched windows at the 22nd and 23rd floors, balconies with machicolations at the 22nd floor, and hipped roofs, with the central tower rising an additional two stories above the corner towers, featuring signs mounted to the north and south facades, and an octagonal tower containing a chimney in the middle of the roof. The building was designated as a Chicago Landmark in 1998, and underwent a major renovation in 1998-1999 under the direction of Eckenhoff Saunders Architects, modernizing the hotel rooms and building systems, and restoring significant common areas within the building. The hotel reopened as the Allerton Crowne Plaza Hotel, remaining under the Crowne Plaza banner until after the building was sold in 2006, becoming The Allerton Hotel in 2007. The building underwent renovations around this time, and underwent more renovations after being sold in 2014, and is today known as the Warwick Allerton Hotel.
It was between 1081 and 1101 that the Bishop of Périgueux cedes land to the Abbey of Cluny, then expanding. The Ronsenac priory is well founded and, despite many setbacks, the monks occupy the monastery until the eighteenth century.
Historical
The priory was part of the province of Poitou and regularly visited the messengers of Cluny, whose reports are a valuable source of historical data. Until the fifteenth century, the monastic community of Ronsenac, made from July to September monks, seems to enjoy comfortable resources to recover from the ravages and destruction suffered during the various armed conflicts of the late Middle Ages. This relative affluence allows the execution of a vast reconstruction program, which began at the end of the fourteenth century, which largely transforms existing buildings.
The religious wars seem to have due to the strength of the priory, which does not fall entirely on the damage inflicted on him during this period of unrest. This decline is increasing gradually until 1788, when the last two monks are called to Cluny. In 1791, the buildings were sold as national property. Thus began two centuries of various assignments (farm, cheese ...) that transform buildings and make forget the architectural wealth.
Today
Since 1987, following a change of ownership, the priory has gradually emerged from oblivion. The restoration and development undertaken since, among other things, led to the discovery of amazing murals from the thirteenth century. These frescoes (listed Historic Monuments) and important architectural remains make this monastery an important tourist site. (Unfortunately, the church was closed.)
To support and help this work, the Friends of the Priory of Ronsenac was founded in 1988 to provide support to the work camps, but also in cultural activities taking place in the buildings of the priory.
Despite the Fan Fest with bounce houses and face painting on the Brooks Robinson Plaza, Big Boy Brass Band, York Symphony Orchestra, and fireworks that would take place post game, Monday afternoon's contest was a quiet one offensively for the York Revolution who mustered just two hits in a 3-1 defeat to the Lancaster Barnstormers in front of 5,769 fans at PeoplesBank Park. Aside from a ninth inning homer by JC Encarnacion to avoid a shutout, the biggest highlight offensively belonged to Carlos Franco who drew a walk in the bottom of the seventh to reach base in a 46th consecutive game, setting a Revs franchise record by doing so.

Built in the late 19th Century, these victorian rowhouses demonstrate the architectural evolution of houses during the period, with the central house being the oldest, with a deeper setback from the street and a simpler facade, and the two more exuberant houses, built two decades later, demonstrating the growth in wealth and aesthetic excess that occurred in the last few decades of the 19th Century.

In the center, built circa 1870, this Italianate-style rowhouse features a red brick three-bay front facade with two-over-two double-hung windows with arched upper sash and decorative stone window headers, a bracketed cornice with dentils, and a double entry door on the ground floor.
On the right, built in 1892, this Renaissance Revival-style rowhouse was designed by Thomas and Rapp, and features a red brick front facade, terra cotta trim, a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet, a cornice with modillions, brackets, and dentils, a fourth floor with circular oxeye windows with decorative terra cotta surrounds flanking a central double window, one-over-one double-hung windows, three arched windows on the second floor with decorative corinthian columns and acroterions, a one-story oriel window on the second floor flanked by ionic pilasters with a decorative canopy featuring corbels, and a four-bay first floor facade with ionic pilasters and a recessed doorway.
The houses, though built in different decades, demonstrate the townhouse or rowhouse housing typology, and each are excellent examples of their respective style. Though not officially landmarked or designated, the three are historic, and are a rare surviving fragment of the historic Prairie District that once was an enclave of some of Chicago’s wealthiest families during the time period in which these houses were built.
Despite the Fan Fest with bounce houses and face painting on the Brooks Robinson Plaza, Big Boy Brass Band, York Symphony Orchestra, and fireworks that would take place post game, Monday afternoon's contest was a quiet one offensively for the York Revolution who mustered just two hits in a 3-1 defeat to the Lancaster Barnstormers in front of 5,769 fans at PeoplesBank Park. Aside from a ninth inning homer by JC Encarnacion to avoid a shutout, the biggest highlight offensively belonged to Carlos Franco who drew a walk in the bottom of the seventh to reach base in a 46th consecutive game, setting a Revs franchise record by doing so.

NEWARK, Del. (Sept. 27, 2008) - Coming off a disappointing setback a week earlier and with the memory of an upset lost to Albany two seasons ago still in their minds, Delaware made sure of the outcome this time. Backed by a defense that allowed just 150 total yards and a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown by Tyrone Grant, the No. 17 ranked Blue Hens dominated the second half and cruised to a 38-7 victory over Albany Saturday night.
The sidewall overhang of the roof on the building on the left is truncated as a result of the property line. Honestly, when I shot this photo it was simply as a decay scene and I planned to do heavy processing. The faint ghost sign on the right said "[someone's] draft shop". St. Joseph, Missouri.
Built in the late 19th Century, these victorian rowhouses demonstrate the architectural evolution of houses during the period, with the central house being the oldest, with a deeper setback from the street and a simpler facade, and the two more exuberant houses, built two decades later, demonstrating the growth in wealth and aesthetic excess that occurred in the last few decades of the 19th Century.
