Low raised key issues about the economic and social needs of low- income residents. A new book, The Legacy Project, New Housing New York: Best Practices in Affordable, Sustainable, Replicable Housing Design, chronicles the development of Via Verde. The 256-page work, co-authored by Brown, includes a forward by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and an epilogue by Shaun Donovan, secretary of Housing and Urban Development, who was trained as an architect. Via Verde grew out of two international design competitions that sought to excite interest in the design of affordable housing.

  • On April 3, 2000, the New Dot-Com Start-Up Fathom Was Launched with a Press Release Promising It Would “Redefine the Scope of Online Learning.” Turn the Page? No
    Draft of Willinsky, J. (2000, July 3). Virtual intellectuals. New Statesman, http://www.newstatesman.com. On April 3, 2000, the new dot-com start-up Fathom was launched with a press release promising it would “redefine the scope of online learning.” Turn the page? No. For once the hype understates it. Fathom changes the scope not only of online learning but of this information economy’s public sector. This super-brand “knowledge and education” outfit lays claim to no less than the intellectual assets of Columbia University, the London School of Economics and Political Science, Cambridge University Press, the British Library, Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the New York Public Library. Amid banner ads, shopping opportunities, and a 10,000-course rooster, Fathom plans to offer free access to multimedia lectures, seminars, databases, publications, and performances, as well as a chance for people to “interact and collaborate” with experts. It’s another step in the blend of the public and commercial, presented in a way that makes it seem necessary, inevitable, and a public good. As George E. Rupp, Columbia's president explained to the New York Times, “we want to make sure that our core intellectual capital is not picked off by outside for-profit vendors. But for that, we have to be able to say to our faculty that we will devise ways they can communicate with a wider audience, which many of them would like.” I can forgive Rupp for thinking of his faculty as intellectual capital – they’ve done it to themselves – but his assumption that universities, even private ones, needs a for- profit e-biz to “communicate with a wider audience” is dismaying.

  • 90 Minutes Press Contact
    90 Minutes Press Contact: Susan Senk PR & Marketing 212-876-5948 Susan Senk: [email protected] Linda Altman: [email protected] 2 SHORT SYNOPSIS Set in the world of Russian immigrants living in New York City, Downtown Express uses music to explore the clash of old world values against the lure and excitement of a new country. Under the watch of his loving but overbearing father, virtuoso violinist and Juilliard student Sasha (Grammy nominee Philippe Quint) prepares for a critical recital meant to launch his career. Yet, he is increasingly drawn to the rhythms of the streets of New York, and when he meets singer-songwriter Ramona (acclaimed recording artist Nellie McKay), he joins her band, falls in love, and begins to lead a double life, careening frantically between two worlds. As his classical debut nears, Sasha must decide whether to break with his father and forge his own destiny. LONG SYNOPSIS Downtown Express tells a classic story of youthful rebellion, but tells it with a unique voice: through music. Set in the world of Russian immigrants living in New York City, Downtown Express explores the ways that old world values inevitably clash with the lure and excitement of a new country. The film stars two acclaimed musicians: Philippe Quint, a Grammy-award nominated virtuoso, classical violinist, and Nellie McKay, a singer-songwriter whose songs, part jazz, part sparkly pop, are noted for their wit and quirky humor. Quintʼs role in Downtown Express marks the first time that a classical musician has been featured as the lead in an American film.

    HOLOCAUST AWARENESS WEEK JANUARY 25-28, 2016 Presented by Northeastern University's College of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Holocaust Awareness Committee, and the Northeastern Humanities Center Stories of Slave Labor and the Art of Freedom northeastern.edu/hac ABOUT HOLOCAUST AWARENESS WEEK The Holocaust Awareness Committee at Northeastern University publicly remembers the Holocaust each year, not only as historical fact and a memorial to its millions of victims, but also as a warning that the horrors of the past must never be repeated. The programs that we present bear witness to the Holocaust's events and explore issues arising out of the war of extermination against Jews and other groups targeted by the Nazis. Speakers ask how lessons learned from the Holocaust can be applied to our own historical moment. The survivor lecture series is named for Dr. Philip N. (Phil) Backstrom, who died October 29, 2015, at age 83. Phil taught European history at Northeastern for 35 years, until his retirement in 1995. A passionate advocate for civil rights, Phil was instrumental to the founding of the Holocaust Awareness Committee in 1991.

  • The Bacon Brothers Can't Complain
    The Bacon Brothers Can’t Complain Zoe 01143-1022-2 Street Date: June 26, 2001 “Actually, I can, and do, and will continue to.” -- Kevin Bacon on the song “Can’t Complain” Can’t Complain, their third release, is another step forward for The Bacon Brothers, expanding their instrumental palette and broadening their lyrical focus, Band photo: Timothy White while still maintaining the spark that made their last two albums (Forosoco and Getting There) so fresh. Towards the end of basic track recording for Can’t Complain, Kevin asked Michael to bring his classical composing skills to the project. Kevin says, “I wanted Michael to write a string intro for “She Is the Heart” and of course, he ended up writing a symphony for that song, a great string quartet part for “Paris” and these amazing Motown style string charts for “Heart Half Full”. Michael says, “For me this is the first time I intertwined my singer/songwriter life with ‘legit’ composition and orchestration. It was an absolute blast conducting the string orchestra for our own music.” “Can't Complain contains as much as the six band members could wring out of themselves,” says Michael. “First, Paul Guzzone is a brilliant music producer (Can’t Complain was produced by Paul Guzzone and Michael Bacon). On the first 2 CD’s, Paul was a bass player and vocalist. Now, his input is a critical part of our sound. Marshal Rosenberg was amazing while tracking or inventing loops with all sorts of strange percussive instruments. Frank Vilardi really reached for this CD.
