...Architekturpreis, an award granted every five years for outstanding Bavarian architecture. A simple block of glass and pearly stone, the Forum beckons Muslims and non-Muslims alike to enter through two doors built to resemble an open book. "It's a place of communication," explains its Bosnian-born architect, Alen Jasarevic, in an e-mail. "Vast windows and openings in the façade, even in the prayer room, invite the citizens of Penzberg to become acquainted with Islam and its people." The delicate minaret, lace-like from a distance, is a calligraphic representation of the words of the call...
Mogwai’s manager, Alen McGee, has been quoted as saying that “Mr Beast” is “possibly better than ‘Loveless,’” the legendary My Bloody Valentine triumph of sound engineering (and reportedly the most expensive record ever made).The comparison is not quite called for, but McGee is right to call attention to the album’s production. This album sounds great. The tone is full, lush, and urgent, pushing Mogwai’s music toward an emotional depth that their earlier work...
...Nestled just north of Alençon, the new factory site is a sign Appli'Plast and its 45 employees have cause for optimism. Since taking it over in 1995 as a bankrupt business creating plastic manufacturing molds, Lenoir and Appli'Plast manager Jacques Vaillant have transformed the company into a producer of plastic components and accessories.

At his home in the town of Zenica, the head of the local Bosnian branch of Benevolence, Alen Cosic, denied his former boss Arnaout was a terrorist. He claimed the FBI was fabricating evidence because it was "jealous" of his success. He also said large cash withdrawals without bookkeeping were normal in the aid business. "I can't say Enaam didn't see bin Laden," Cosic said...
James Van Alen isn't sure he wants to tell a reporter just how terrific he thinks the Powerhouse Theater festival at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., is. "If people find out about it, it's going to get mobbed," he says. Van Alen, a stockbroker, has attended a dozen Powerhouse productions each summer for 15 years. "They're as good as, if not better than, plays I've seen on Broadway and off-Broadway," he says. Indeed, many of the plays that end up on New York City stages get their start at the Powerhouse...
