Residential Project in Mexico Advocating Deconstructive Design: Casa G?mez

The idea of distorting and fragmenting walls, roofs or interior volumes is the basis for the architecture current called ?Deconstructivism?. Casa G?mez developed by SO Studio in Cancun, Mexico is a residential project exhibiting the up-mentioned characteristics. The avant-garde building seems to be visually created by broken rhythms, randomly positioned walls and unexpected inclinations.According to the architects, ?the design is organized by combining interior and exterior areas as a single space through big hidable windows, thus favouring the main views to the canal and the hotel zone of Cancun. The choosing of materials and textures was key to create unusual environments of marked avant-garde tendency, combining the balance among the apparent concrete walls, granite and wood floors, big windows and the glass and alluminum covers, besides specific Bisazza mosaic accents?. Clearly visible from far away, Casa G?mez adds to the list of highly modern Mexican landmarks.

PHILADELPHIA ? The Philadelphia Eagles are setting up Riley Cooper with sensitivity training after the wide receiver was caught on video making a racial slur.

"In meeting with Riley yesterday, we decided together that his next step will be to seek outside assistance to help him fully understand the impact of his words and actions," the team said in a statement Thursday. "He needs to reflect. As an organization, we will provide the resources he needs to do so."

Cooper apologized profusely Wednesday after a video of him using the N-word at a Kenny Chesney concert last month surfaced on the Internet. The Eagles immediately fined him, and the league plans no further discipline.

"I know Riley made a heinous mistake," coach Chip Kelly said. "I was appalled by it. I was actually shocked by it because since I've been here since April, that's not the Riley Cooper I know. He accepted responsibility for it and he has to live with it, but I hope at some point in time we'll have a chance to move on from it.

"But right now I don't think it's going to be something that's going to go away very quickly."

Cooper, who grew up in Clearwater, Fla., was selected in the fifth round of the 2010 draft by the Eagles out of the University of Florida. He has just 46 catches and five touchdowns in three years with the Eagles, but has been practicing with the starters since Jeremy Maclin's season-ending injury last week.

Teammates Michael Vick, Jason Avant and others expressed forgiveness for Cooper. LeSean McCoy also said he forgives Cooper, but he doesn't view him the same anymore.

"Just on a friendship level, and as a person, I can't really respect somebody like that," McCoy said. "I think as a team, we need to move past it. There are some things that are going to be hard to work with, to be honest."


Millionaire Brees amazed by reaction to cheapskate tip

METAIRIE, La. ? Drew Brees says he's amazed his $3 tip on a $74 takeout order last month has become a talking point on national television and the Internet.

The quarterback was in the locker room at Saints headquarters Thursday morning when he noticed a discussion on a network morning show about tipping on takeout orders, referencing a photograph of his takeout receipt that was circulated online.

Brees said he figures the person who initially photographed the receipt did so innocently because he visits the San Diego-area restaurant regularly and poses for photos with staff.

The quarterback said he was disappointed "that it actually got spun and perceived as ? you immediately jump to the conclusion that he stiffed a waiter or waitress. That's the part that bothers me."

Brees responded to the blog himself on the social media site Twitter, writing, "In case anyone still cares about this report: I tipped $3 on a takeout order. Had we sat down it would have been 20% (plus)."

Brees suggested the headline to the initial blog post, which referred to him as "cheap," could have just as easily stated instead that he typically gives restaurant staff a few extra dollars on takeout orders, "but nobody's going to read that."

Brees' contract with the Saints pays $100 million over five years.

Former 'Smash' Star Says 'We Didn't Stand A Chance'

NEW YORK ? The subject of bad dates comes up during an interview with Krysta Rodriguez, and she offers up a doozy.

A few years ago, she and her boyfriend spent a ton of money on an expensive meal to celebrate their one-year anniversary. Around the dessert course, a man at a nearby table had a seizure and collapsed.

An ambulance was called and the man was taken away. He turned out to be OK, but Rodriguez's romantic date was a casualty that night.

"My boyfriend was so upset by it that he vomited the whole dinner. He had to run outside in the flower bed out front of the restaurant and throw up," she says, laughing. "I ended up taking care of him all night long on our anniversary while he literally vomited $400 worth of food."

Rodriguez tells the story because romantic missteps are on her mind these days: The Broadway and "Smash" veteran is starring in a new musical about a blind date opposite Zachary Levi, who starred in the TV show "Chuck."

In "First Date," by "Gossip Girl" writer Austin Winsberg, Rodriguez plays Casey, an artsy-cool downtown hottie who is a little abrasive after years of serial dating. She meets the sweet but slightly nerdy Aaron, played by Levi, at a bar.

Over the course of 90 minutes (no intermission), the two try to get to know each other despite dreamlike interruptions from relatives, friends and old lovers. It's a seemingly doomed relationship ? she likes bad boys and the only thing he's done wrong is download music illegally. But there's always hope.

Rodriguez, a California native who just turned 29, is single and can relate to some of Casey's frustrations with men in the city. But they don't see eye to eye when it comes to bad boys.

"While I've not always made the best decisions in my dating life, I wouldn't say I'm attracted to bad boys. I like men that love their mothers and follow rules," she says, laughing. Take that un-bad boy who threw up their anniversary dinner: They dated for almost three years more.

"Hey, I couldn't fault him for it," she says.

`HER TIME'

Rodriguez may be only a year shy of 30 but she's a stage veteran, having prepared for 20 roles since making her Broadway debut at age 19 in "Good Vibrations." In that show she was a swing who understudied no less than nine roles.

"I got thrown into the fire immediately," she says.

She was soon in the Broadway casts of "A Chorus Line," "In the Heights," "Spring Awakening" and "The Addams Family," originating the role of Wednesday Addams alongside Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth.

Rodriguez had actually been acting long before ? she had starred in Francis Ford Coppola's musical "Gidget" in 2000 and, even earlier, the TV show "Colby's Clubhouse." She is the product of a "lovely, sun-filled, love-filled childhood" but admits she's a bit of a workaholic.

"A very strong theme in my life has been `Setback First, Success Second.' I usually don't get in the first time. So I try again and I get in the second time," she says. "It's made me who I am. I know that I'm more appreciative of every experience I have because of all those things."

It was that confidence and those experiences that impressed Bill Berry, who directs her in "First Date." The team was looking for an actress who had the singing chops and the ability to be both emotional and still a bit secretive.

"When we were going through the audition process, she was one of the first people that we saw that we said, `Aha! That's the first piece of the puzzle,'" he says.

"She's got ideas. She comes to the table with thoughts and that's always so much more interesting than with someone who's waiting to be told exactly what to do."

She was cast before Levi, even though he's arguably the bigger star, having been on TV for five years. But there's something about Rodriguez that signals a new star has arrived and is ready to headline for the first time.

"This is her time," says Berry.

She almost missed it.

SMASH EFFECT

Rodriguez sought new challenges in 2012 after six years of Broadway and went to Los Angeles to audition for TV. She tested for six pilots ? one that even featured Levi as her brother-in-law ? and then was forced to come back or lose her New York apartment.

Out of nowhere came her most famous part ? a role on the second season of "Smash." She had gone across the country to land a TV show, only to come home and find one ? about a Broadway musical.

Rodriguez played Katharine McPhee's roommate Ana Vargas and got to show the world a smart, sexy, funny beauty in a cool blunt cut who could belt out gorgeous versions of "Broadway, Here I Come!" and "If I Were a Boy."

Fans lining up outside the "First Date" theater have come to cheer Rodriguez because of "Smash," but the experience of the show is bittersweet. Sweet because of the exposure and the people she met. Bitter because she couldn't stop the show from cancellation.

She cites a number of reasons for its demise ? internal problems, too many cooks in the kitchen and a time slot from hell, Saturday night. Many fans recorded the show on their DVRs ? therefore not helping the ratings ? and many critics were unwilling to give the show a second chance.

"We kind of didn't stand a chance. We were trying to please a group of people who didn't want to be pleased. They had already made up their minds," she says. "In its afterlife, it's so well received. But when we were doing it, we were in the crossfires of everybody's anger."

But she loved doing the show, and it inevitably led to "First Date." She's enjoying every minute of her return to Broadway, even if her co-star's dressing room is larger.

"He was on five years of television," she says, laughing. "I was only on one."

House sale expectations hit record highs - Business News | TVNZ

Published: 12:46PM Thursday August 01, 2013 Source: Fairfax

Sellers' expectations for the price they can sell their properties have again hit record highs across the country, particularly in Auckland, Canterbury and the West Coast.

According to industry website realestate.co.nz, the average price vendors were asking for their houses last month jumped to $465,191, up 3% on the previous month.

Although asking prices are not the actual sales price, realestate.co.nz's marketing manager Paul McKenzie said it was still a substantial increase in expectations.

July's asking price was up more than $10,000 from the previous record which was set in May, and an 8% increase on July last year.

"It's really the confidence of sellers, that they believe that they can get the higher prices and a lot of them are, especially in the main centres where there is a lack of quality homes coming on the market each month."

Selected regions also hit new records, with Auckland's soaring housing market pushing asking prices there to a new average high of $639,685, beating the previous record by 1.3%.

Canterbury and the West Coast also set new highs of $422,043 and $318,816 respectively.

McKenzie said that a contributing factor appeared to the low level of stock on the market.

"As a whole New Zealand has quite low inventory and in June we had an all-time low in inventory. So that would have flowed into a change in asking prices as well and definitely affected it."

However, July's listings were much improved, up 9% on the previous month.

It was matched by an easing in inventory, which was up 7% from June's record low.

The market now has 26.7 weeks worth of properties to sell, although that is still well below the long-term average of 38 weeks.

McKenzie said July was unusually early for a pickup in listings, which ordinarily happened in September.

"It was quite a good July and I would say it's a good sign for the rest of the year in terms of getting a good number of listings onto the market."

Realestate.co.nz's figures are based on the 10,000 new listings on its website last month.

Netflix allows 5 viewing profiles on same account

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? Netflix's latest attraction will enable families and other people sharing the same account to set up separate identities so the Internet video service can give them better recommendations on what to watch next.

The tool introduced Thursday can splinter a single Netflix account into up to five different profiles at no additional cost from the service's $8 monthly fee. The Los Gatos, Calif., company is hoping its 37.6 million worldwide subscribers will use the profiles feature and help Netflix's recommendation system distinguish between viewers who have drastically different tastes.

Until now, deciphering viewing preferences could be tricky with a shared account. Netflix couldn't tell when a 50-year-old dad was watching its Internet video service and when his 10-year-old daughter was viewing. That resulted in Netflix serving up a mishmash of suggestions that could include movies meant for mature audiences based on the father's viewing history, and kid-friendly programming drawn from the daughter's preferences.

"If the kids have been watching a lot of 'Shaun the Sheep,' that doesn't particularly help us help you find the next gritty drama to watch after they have gone to bed," said Neil Hunt, Netflix's chief product officer.

Profiles will now make it possible for several members of the same household to click on their screen name to get customized recommendations, based on what they have previously watched and seemed to enjoy in Netflix's library of movies, old TV shows and original programs. Netflix relies on viewers' own ratings of video, as well as computer-driven analyses of the genres previously watched.

The new feature initially will only be available on Netflix's own website and several other viewing outlets, including the iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Apple TV and some smart TV models. It may take up to two weeks before the profiles choice pops up in these options. Profiles should be available on the Wii console before the end of August and on Android devices before the end of the year. Netflix subscribers who use Netflix on Roku's set-top box probably won't be able to use profiles on that device until early next year.

Netflix Inc. considers its recommendation system to be one of its biggest advantages over rival Internet video services run by Amazon.com Inc., Hulu.com and Redbox. As long as Netflix keeps steering its subscribers to videos that they like, the company figures customers will be less likely to cancel the service.

Even though it has often analyzed a jumbled mix of viewers, Netflix's recommendation system apparently is hitting a sweet spot more often than not. The company says about three-fourths of the video watching on its service is driven by its recommendations.

The new profiles can also be used to link to each user's Facebook account. That connection allows Netflix members see what the other people in their online social network have been watching on Netflix, too.

NFL notes: Rodgers says he was ?lied to? by Braun

NFL notes ? Green Bay QB ?disappointed? by friend?s PED admission.

Ryan Braun apparently has some work to do to repair his friendship with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Describing himself as shocked and disappointed, Rodgers said Friday after the Packers? first training camp practice that Braun "looked at me in the eye on multiple occasions and repeatedly denied the allegations" that the Milwaukee Brewers slugger was using performance-enhancing drugs.

Braun this week accepted a season-ending 65-game suspension after admitting to violating baseball?s rules against using PEDs.

Rodgers felt duped by his buddy and business associate, a sentiment being expressed by many others in Wisconsin. A Milwaukee restaurant is named for two of the state?s most well-known athletes, and Rodgers last year defended his friend on Twitter, going so far as to bet his multimillion-dollar salary that Braun was clean.

"It?s disappointing, not only for myself as a friend but for obviously Wisconsin sports fans, Brewer fans, Major League Baseball fans," Rodgers said before a throng of media surrounding his locker. "It doesn?t feel great being lied to like that, and I?m disappointed about the way it all went down."

Rodgers and Braun have spoken since the slugger?s suspension. Asked if he considered themselves friends, Rodgers didn?t answer directly but said in part, "I trusted him, and that?s the thing that probably hurts the most."

Vikings? Peterson eager for HGH testing

Embracing the challenge has always been a part of Adrian Peterson?s persona. Bring it on, the star running back has often said with a smile.

He set the NFL?s single-game rushing record as a rookie for the Minnesota Vikings. His swift recovery from reconstructive left knee surgery last season included a jaw-dropping 2,097 yards rushing and the league MVP award. No matter how rare the feat he?s asked about, Peterson will usually insist it?s possible.

story continues below

There?s another test he?d eagerly take: for human growth hormone.

"I can?t wait until they draw my blood," Peterson said Friday after the team?s first workout of training camp.

The NFL and the players union have been working on an agreement for HGH testing procedures. Supplemental HGH is a banned substance that?s difficult to detect. It?s been used by athletes for what are believed to be a variety of benefits, whether real or only perceived, like increased speed and improved vision.

"To be honest with you, I?ve been hoping they did this a long time ago, you know, evening out the playing field and make guys be honest and truthful to themselves," Peterson said, later adding: "I?m all natural. I work hard. This right here, it?s a test for me personally, that I know that, ?Hey, I?m clean as a whistle,? and other guys as well. And then, like I say, it?ll bring some guys to the forefront and be like, ?Hey, I guess this is how this guy?s been performing so well.?"

Peterson said he believes HGH use is not uncommon around the league.

"You?ve got guys out there trying to provide for their families, they?re going to try to get that edge, get that advantage, especially if they?re not worried about trying to get caught," Peterson said. "Yeah, it?s being used."

Around the league

Bengals ? An MRI found that All-Pro receiver A.J. Green has a bruised knee that will force him to miss several days of practice. Green hurt his left knee near the end of Cincinnati?s first practice of training camp on Thursday. Green said an MRI that found no structural damage.

Shrien Dewani awaits ruling on bid to fight extradition to South Africa

Shrien Dewani and Anni Dewani

Shrien Dewani will discover on Wednesday whether his latest bid to delay his extradition to South Africa to face trial over his wife's death has succeeded.

The 33-year-old is suspected of ordering the killing of his new wife Anni, 28, who was shot as the couple travelled in a taxi on the outskirts of Cape Town in November 2010.

On Wednesday at Westminster magistrates court, chief magistrate Howard Riddle is expected to reveal his latest decision as to whether Dewani should be extradited.

The businessman has been receiving treatment for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder at psychiatric hospitals near Bristol since his wife's death.

Prosecutors claim it would not be "oppressive" to extradite the businessman to face trial, and that there has been a "significant and sustained improvement" in his mental health in recent months.

Hugo Keith QC, for the South African government, admitted Dewani was not fit to plead, but argued that this should not stop the extradition process.

However, Dewani's defence team has argued that the decision should be delayed for six months to avoid his condition worsening.

During a full extradition hearing earlier this month, Professor Nigel Eastman said: "If he goes now, he will be in a poorer state than if he goes in six months' time. If he goes to South Africa and does not improve, he is at risk of being chronically ill and chronically unfit to plead."

It emerged during the four-day hearing that while resident at Fromeside and Blaise View mental health units Dewani was allowed to walk home every day, and a camper van was set up in the grounds where he would spend long periods of time.

Riddle ruled in 2011 that Dewani should be sent back to South Africa, but an appeal against the decision was successful and he was ordered to look again at the case.

So far three men have been convicted over Mrs Dewani's death.

Last year, South African Xolile Mngeni was convicted of premeditated murder for shooting her. Prosecutors claimed he was a hitman hired by Dewani to kill his wife, which Dewani has consistently denied.

Taxi driver Zola Tongo was jailed for 18 years after he admitted his part in the killing, and another accomplice, Mziwamadoda Qwabe, also pleaded guilty to murder and was given a 25-year prison sentence.

The family of Mrs Dewani will be at the court hearing on Wednesday, her sister Amy Hindocha has said.

She told ITV's DayBreak programme that her brother Anish and her parents had travelled to London from their home in Sweden to see the latest court appearance.

Speaking of her father, who has been to every court hearing in England and South Africa, she said: "He just wants to know what happened, it's a desire that has taken time away from everything else."

Anish Hindocha said: "We hope for the best outcome today. I can somehow see a light where we will get answers."

'Alarming' rise in children injured by falling TVs

CHICAGO (AP) ? Falling televisions sent nearly 200,000 U.S. children to the emergency room over 20 years and the injury rate has climbed substantially for these sometimes deadly accidents, a study found.

Doctors and safety experts say better awareness is needed about the dangers ? especially the risks of putting heavier, older model TV sets on top of dressers and other furniture young children may try to climb on.

Most injuries are in kids under 5; head and neck injuries including concussions are the most common.

"This is a problem that is increasing at an alarming rate," said lead author Dr. Gary Smith, a pediatric emergency specialist and president of the Child Injury Prevention Alliance in Columbus, Ohio.

Smith said it is unclear from the data what type of TV sets are involved in the accidents or whether older, heavier models are the most common culprit.

The study was published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

In 2011, 12,300 children nationwide got ER treatment for TV-related injuries, compared with 5,455 in 1990. The injury rate nearly doubled, from 0.85 injuries per 10,000 children aged 17 and younger in 1990 to 1.66 per 10,000 in 2011, the study found.

The researchers examined national ER data on non-fatal television-related injuries to kids from 1990-2011. In many cases, the set had been placed on a dresser and the child used open drawers as stairs to climb up and reach the TV, toppling it.

Over those two decades, 215 children died from these injuries, government data show, and news reports indicate that since January 2012, at least six young children have been killed nationwide by falling TVs.

Scott Wolfson, spokesman for the government's Consumer Product Safety Commission, said as flat screen TVs have become more popular, many families move heavier old TVs to bedrooms, placing them on dressers or other unsteady furniture not designed to hold them.

The commission urges parents to anchor furniture to the wall or floor with brackets or other specially designed tethers. TVs also should be anchored to sturdy surfaces, the commission recommends.

Thousands take to streets to protest Trayvon Martin verdict

By Edward Upright and Zachary Faginson

NEW YORK/MIAMI (Reuters) - Demonstrators took to the streets in dozens of U.S. cities on Saturday to vent their anger over the acquittal in Florida of the man who shot unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin to death and to call for federal charges in the racially tinged case.

Hundreds marched in the summer heat to rally at federal courthouses in Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles and other cities, demanding "justice for Trayvon" and an end to racial profiling that they said was at the heart of the case.

The rallies came one week after a Seminole County, Florida, jury returned verdicts finding 29-year-old George Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the February 2012 death of Martin.

Critics contend Zimmerman, who is white and Hispanic, wrongly suspected Martin, 17, of being a criminal because he was black. The neighborhood watch volunteer called police to report Martin, then left his car with a loaded handgun concealed in his waistband.

A fight ensued in which Zimmerman suffered a bloody nose and head injuries before he shot Martin once in the heart.

In New York, scene of one of the largest rallies, roughly 2,000 protesters, some carrying "Boycott Florida" signs or wearing T-shirts with Martin's picture, were led by an emotional Sybrina Fulton, the slain teenager's mother.

"Trayvon was a child," she said. "I think sometimes it gets lost in the shuffle because as I sat in the courtroom, it made me think they were talking about another man. And it wasn't. It was a child."

Fulton burst into tears as members of the crowd shouted: "We love you!"

JAY Z, BEYONCE

She was joined at the event by hip-hop mogul Jay Z and his wife, pop star Beyonce, along with New York City mayoral candidate Christine Quinn and civil rights activist Al Sharpton.

Sharpton, who helped organize the nationwide rallies and who led the crowd in repeated chants of "no justice, no peace" and "I am Trayvon Martin," said the celebrity couple didn't want to speak at the rally but wanted to stand with Martin's family.

Civil rights leaders had voiced hopes for peaceful protests after outbreaks of violence that earlier this week led to arrests in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area.

Sharpton has said he hopes continued public pressure will force the U.S. Department of Justice to bring federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman.

Federal prosecutors say they are investigating whether Zimmerman violated civil rights laws. But lawyers have said they think new charges are unlikely.

At the White House on Friday, President Barack Obama sided with those who say the shooting need not have happened, expressing sympathy to the Martin family. He said the case was properly handled by the court in Florida but questioned "stand your ground" laws that have been adopted in 30 states.

Although Florida's stand your ground law was not cited by Zimmerman's defense team, the jury was instructed that under the state's 2005 statute he had the right to use deadly force if he reasonably believed it was necessary to do so in self-defense.

Following the main event in New York some 800 people made a boisterous but peaceful procession over the Brooklyn Bridge, pausing outside the federal courthouse in Brooklyn before moving on.

'NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE'

Elsewhere, about 2,000 people endured a downpour in Atlanta to hear speakers talk of the need for justice for Trayvon Martin and other black youths.

The Trayvon Martin Prayer Vigil and Rally, in downtown, began with chants of "no justice, no peace," and "Trayvon, Trayvon, Trayvon" before speakers urged the crowd to register to vote and to seek repeal of Georgia's stand your ground law.

Martin Luther King III urged the audience to go to Washington, D.C., on August 24 for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and his father's famous "I Have a Dream" speech. "It's marching time, ladies and gentlemen," he said.

At least several people in the crowd were treated for heat-related illness after fainting on the sweltering day.

At a rally in Miami, Martin's father, Tracy, told supporters that after the acquittal he has "come to realize George Zimmerman wasn't on trial - Trayvon was on trial."

In Los Angeles, about 500 people converged on the federal courthouse in Los Angeles under gray skies, toting signs saying "Open Season on the Black Man" and "This Should Not Be OK in 2013 America."

In Chicago, some 500 people rallied across from the Everett McKinley Dirksen federal courthouse.

"We are standing up here today to say to our young people, 'we value your lives,'" said Chicago Urban League Chief Executive Officer Andrea Zopp, who has a 17-year-old son. "The civil rights movement is not over."

Rapper MC Lyte told the crowd: "When the verdict was read, I felt like we lost Trayvon Martin all over again."

In Oakland, a crowd of up to 150 people demonstrated peacefully in the city's downtown, occasionally singing "We Shall Overcome" before dispersing in the late afternoon.

And across the bay in San Francisco, about 100 people gathered in front of the Federal Building.

Reverend Arnold Townsend, 70, vice president of the local NAACP chapter, vowed to "bring to light this incident (and) let black children know the system has them under attack."
