...Kennedy said. Greer L. Glazer, dean of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at UMASS-Boston and a researcher at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI), said the grant will enable the first collaboration between the two institutions. “This is a tremendous opportunity for a world-class institution with a focus on cancer care to team with a great university with a focus on serving ethnically and racially diverse populations and community outreach,” she said. The collaborating institutions have a complicated problem to address. According to Karen M. Emmons, a faculty member...
...have imposed veritable import quotas and have slowly squeezed the numbers even smaller so that each beya is now allowed only one foreign fighter (a grandfather clause permits a few exceptions).

...Antoine Predock: House In the capricious realm where world-class architectural reputations are created, Predock has had two things going against him: because he practices in Albuquerque, New Mexico, he has been dismissed as a regionalist, and because he is earnestly New Agey in explaining his architecture (elemental earth forces, invisible Native American residues, UFOS and so on), critics and tastemakers have not always granted him his considerable due. But he has consistently produced marvelous, singular work, and the house he just finished in the Dallas suburb of Highland Park is particularly fine. Set on a steep, forested site...
