Amy told Bob that Taylor’s parents would also be joining them while the girls played which then led to the two debating Taylor’s mother’s name. Both had said they had individually met the woman, but while Amy said her name was Susan, Bob remembered meeting a parent named Cheryl and since they weren’t together at the time of the interactions, the two remained at odds. When the doorbell finally rang and Taylor arrived with her mothers, Charlie’s parents realized that they were both right: Susan and Bob were speaking about two separate women. “Taylor has two moms,” Bob said after answering the door. “Nothing gets past you, Bob,” Amy said.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">The topic had been talked about since this past summer. A Disney representative said on how they chose to approach the topic, “This particular story line was developed under the consultancy of child development experts and community advisers. Like all Disney Channel programming, it was developed to be relevant to kids and families around the world and to reflect themes of diversity and inclusiveness.”<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Although it was designed to be relevant to all children and families, some advocacy groups feel it was inappropriate. The group One Million Moms, which is a group dedicated to “give moms an impact with the decision-makers and let them know we are upset with the messages they are sending our children and the values (or lack of them) they are pushing”, had this to say on the subject, “Conservative families need to urge Disney to avoid controversial topics that children are far too young to comprehend. This is the last place a parent would expect their children to be confronted with topics that are too difficult for them to understand. Mature issues of this nature are being introduced too early and too soon, and it is extremely unnecessary.”<o:p></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">What do you think?

When they’ve had to play in the cold (Sunday night at New England, Sunday night at home, and Thursday night at home), they lost two of those games.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Quarterback Peyton Manning has told reporters to “Shove it” when discussing how he can’t perform in the cold.

I have gotten so used to my team making it to the championship and then losing. 2006 Tigers. 2009 Red Wings. 2012 Tigers. 2013 Michigan basketball. It’s been six years since I’ve been able to revel in a championship (oh, woe is me, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">sarcasmsarcasmsarcasm</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">), and I haven’t had much to celebrate.

(Or Saturday. Or Monday. Or whenever they play the game.) I will be going to a party, likely full of other Broncos fans (and a few Packer fans, I’m sure) and cheering my socks off.

Imbert, a French anthropologist said in his book, “Les Negritos de la Chine”,”The Negroid races peopled at some time all the South of India, Indo-China and China. The South of Indo-China actually has now pure Negritos as the Semangs and mixed as the Malays and the Sakais.”</span></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px;">Another author and professor, Chang Hsing-Lang, revealed similar information in writing “The Importation of Negro Slaves to China under the Tang Dynasty”, “Even the sacred Manchu dynasty shows this Negro strain.

The study was conducted by a Chinese DNA specialist named Jin Li and a team of Chinese and other scientists. Li admits that he wasn’t trying to prove this fact, instead he initially wanted to prove that the Chinese evolved from hοmo erectus independently of all humans. After collecting more than 12000 DNA samples from 165 different ethnic groups, Li and his team found that early humans belonged to different species but modern humans had descended from the East African species.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px;">One scientist on the team, Li Hui, said that 100,000 years ago humans began migrating through South and Southeast Asia into China from Africa.

I think we should all be happy with that. Because after all, modern humans from different parts of the world are not so different from each other and we are very close relatives.”</span></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px;">The team of scientists participating in the 5 year study of geographic and genealogical routes tracing the spread of settlements of ancient and modern humans were from China, Russia, India, Brazil and other nations.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px;">Richard Leaky, a well-known, Kenyan-born Paleoanthropologist who has dedicated his life to studying fossils and the past believes that we must study the past if we are to have a future. He had this to say, “If you get to the stage where you can persuade people on the evidence, that it’s solid, that we are all African, that color is superficial, that stages of development of culture are all interactive, then I think we have a chance of a world that will respond better to global challenges.”</span></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px;">Wow, so it appears that Africa truly is the cradle of all civilization after all.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px;">By Daphne R</span><br /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><em style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px;"><b>Daphne R is an experienced marketing and communications professional that provides social commentary, self-help, tips, and reports news of events that matter to African Americans.</b></em></div></div>

A Conversation on MoMA's Plan for Expansion

I'm at the New York Society for Ethical Culture for the <a href="http://archleague.org/2014/01/a-conversation-on-the-museum-of-modern-arts-plan-for-expansion/">ArchLeague/MAS/AIANY event</a> on MoMA's controversial expansion plan by Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R). I'll update with photos (pardon the low-res, cameraphone shots) as the evening progresses, adding some commentary tomorrow.<br /><br />For background on the controversy, which involves the destruction of Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects' 2001 American Folk Art Museum (AFAM), which MoMA purchased in 2011, see <a href="http://archidose.blogspot.com/2014/01/goodbye-folk-art-hello-art-bay.html">my previous post on DS+R's plan</a> unveiled three weeks ago.<br /><br />A crowd packs the New York Society for Ethical Culture on the Upper West Side:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9G0RfsJB7yDUTFFwC6i4DVxRk2Adkm1V54OIq4mg8buTc_-zJM8dlMbWkTDoETf-ncXP8pTL_j-O1Q6dFtHVvdOOmUO3jBcoktmrkJTmNCCDNsapG87irzOFbBuoiZyiHyTSJdgQBLf27/s1600/2014-01-28%25252018.27.47.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9G0RfsJB7yDUTFFwC6i4DVxRk2Adkm1V54OIq4mg8buTc_-zJM8dlMbWkTDoETf-ncXP8pTL_j-O1Q6dFtHVvdOOmUO3jBcoktmrkJTmNCCDNsapG87irzOFbBuoiZyiHyTSJdgQBLf27/s640/2014-01-28%25252018.27.47.jpg" /> </a><br /><br />MoMA's Glenn Lowry (director) and Ann Temkin (curator) begin the proceedings by outlining their main objectives with the expansion, namely that they have a responsibility as an important cultural institution, and therefore they need more space to show more art. Temkin uses the Frank Lloyd Wright archives that MoMA jointly acquired in 2012 as an example of something they'd be able to show with more galleries, clearly to appease to the crowd of mainly architects. She also mentions that while MoMA traditionally show the art of the past and the art of the present, a "new generation of curators" is working in across multiple histories in a "non-linear, networked" fashion. Here Lowry presents before Temkin speaks:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyFMsEO_O0oevrgdzT0L2Smo99_lxlfYfs6qPRiwin23j7v5wRX_xDfJ95ZeiOsqr1dxfWgAu2CkxdVILNT6MSjvnH7DjTEHv0DyYsdR6rGhIVByfduhW_5bnDBij6lY-ufzt5zEOYgtUa/s1600/2014-01-28%25252018.47.34.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

A band of clear glass unites all three:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXcs6kWBA3oVhpcqwVINEwoG_D6g-5yu1MWXMA1l3qaJo0cMycnsbqXpt2umwGTsOttzjsf5LFHNF54sANdNQNKXKWxYrJnmBpSpmNBrpgk6BBpZgii7GAZJ-aK9kcBCaYLor7V0M7atkQ/s1600/20140128_192146.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXcs6kWBA3oVhpcqwVINEwoG_D6g-5yu1MWXMA1l3qaJo0cMycnsbqXpt2umwGTsOttzjsf5LFHNF54sANdNQNKXKWxYrJnmBpSpmNBrpgk6BBpZgii7GAZJ-aK9kcBCaYLor7V0M7atkQ/s640/20140128_192146.jpg" /> </a><br /><br />Another view of the packed auditorium:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc4GSc3e1b7jDJxSx7nyePNMgYe6BApabyJLjPW7dDCVQoDyzSeWNQ9sJRtNJ4Lb0hlhVuaDESSii6SvovAjvmxg7wmoal2_C2lhMFJssW9x5gzLMaJB-L1-dmCohM8UiZJ5CkdF84VH3U/s1600/2014-01-28%25252019.33.32.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc4GSc3e1b7jDJxSx7nyePNMgYe6BApabyJLjPW7dDCVQoDyzSeWNQ9sJRtNJ4Lb0hlhVuaDESSii6SvovAjvmxg7wmoal2_C2lhMFJssW9x5gzLMaJB-L1-dmCohM8UiZJ5CkdF84VH3U/s640/2014-01-28%25252019.33.32.jpg" /> </a><br /><br />After Diller's presentation the panel convened. Moderated by Reed Kroloff (Cranbrook), the panel consists of Cathleen McGuigan (Architectural Record), Jorge Otero-Pailos (Columbia GSAPP), Nicolai Ouroussoff (former New York Times critic), Stephen Rustow (Museoplan), and Karen Stein (independent architectural advisor):<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9zMrJBa_EFEvL1XnHmjfM3Jf2-zhEiExUfcUZJcCtRB_Ay0hfPUl8rwD8hzJB-EYfQfbMenocsIlF59dcKEcX2pWDHseP7xoJiOsQdVN2GVSHcDOHm9VFzcx5hFOPcJYvC9Vgq6O_WfrZ/s1600/2014-01-28%25252019.32.32.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9zMrJBa_EFEvL1XnHmjfM3Jf2-zhEiExUfcUZJcCtRB_Ay0hfPUl8rwD8hzJB-EYfQfbMenocsIlF59dcKEcX2pWDHseP7xoJiOsQdVN2GVSHcDOHm9VFzcx5hFOPcJYvC9Vgq6O_WfrZ/s640/2014-01-28%25252019.32.32.jpg" /> </a><br /><br />Some paraphrased highlights from a few of their comments:<br /><br /><b>Rustow:</b> Given that DS+R's scheme is a feasibility study, and it is only as good as the questions asked, what they were given would have to result in AFAM coming down. Any change in that fact would entail posing the original questions in different ways. One way to do that is to treat AFAM like the original MoMA building, which has been altered considerably over the years, even when inadequate, because it has always been considered an integral part of the museum's evolution. <br /><br />We should look to Carlo Scarpa for ways of being creative with preservation. For him, the materials on site were fair game, something he created a dialogue with. Additionally, by calling the preservation of just the AFAM facade "facadism" – with all the negative connotations of the term – something that could be creatively reused is being thrown out. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZyAEdiCk4Ud3LOvddfRjKS3jUel4zu9ak2wRqJ3RACKEIpH1vSAyX9LjYxPOgFSkyJgoALaP8S_HYhNADbl2R6_oSpVPNiYTiyY-R6lTudZwzDPNoV1xNZekez8CQxtO1l8oATbuOmOa6/s1600/2014-01-28%25252020.00.29.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZyAEdiCk4Ud3LOvddfRjKS3jUel4zu9ak2wRqJ3RACKEIpH1vSAyX9LjYxPOgFSkyJgoALaP8S_HYhNADbl2R6_oSpVPNiYTiyY-R6lTudZwzDPNoV1xNZekez8CQxtO1l8oATbuOmOa6/s640/2014-01-28%25252020.00.29.jpg" /> </a><br /><br /><b>Otero-Pailos: </b>Rethinking preservation is important. For example, what about preserving the smell of AFAM, which has a distinctive olfactory sense emanating from the way the building has been crafted. On the other hand MoMA has an "airport smell." And as advice to the MoMA board members, think ahead 15-20+ years, when the museum decides to relocate due to running out of space in Midtown; what will they have left to the city and its people? And what <i>could</i> they have left them?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPrDrYg9xHbiRgdu-PFGLMj-0q2D9HkRXLy2z4LbCiIZRRbsKYvdaBlLremtBtGD8ORRyBurhhoLQ5shSpZRYRm-8Ju8s9QJaGiJMjNuDwqJWVUA1uddA30Rg1srqhv79oAl1kGFJeUhgY/s1600/2014-01-28%25252020.00.06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPrDrYg9xHbiRgdu-PFGLMj-0q2D9HkRXLy2z4LbCiIZRRbsKYvdaBlLremtBtGD8ORRyBurhhoLQ5shSpZRYRm-8Ju8s9QJaGiJMjNuDwqJWVUA1uddA30Rg1srqhv79oAl1kGFJeUhgY/s640/2014-01-28%25252020.00.06.jpg" /> </a><br /><br /><b>Stein:</b> DS+R's process unfolds like a "mathematical theorem," such that one thing logically follows from the previous. But the continuous loop that it is founded upon is problematic. (I'd agree, since the closed loop is based on an art historical view of things, and the new generation of curators that Temkin speaks about work in other ways, meaning the loop is no longer a valid way to organize the museum.)<br /><br />At the end of the night it is clear that most people in the audience and on the panel want to preserve AFAM in some way. This is particularly obvious when applause follows each of the above comments from the panel.<br /><br />Lowry, Temkin and Diller join the panel on stage to field questions from the audience, written on cards given out at the beginning of the event. L-R: Kroloff, McGuigan, Otero-Pailos, Diller, Ouroussoff, Rustow, Stein, Lowry, Temkin:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQc7CPaC1PwlXLA7VjJnEuwUzHJsZljt2n1u_2H6xlHFLnhdOpLfAtodyDlYMVA6eh9M6ZL9rY-VGrgyn4fIBqwUmTVJrp0vqnuv_7mHVvGWiFgt1lcwkRmCWpikIusVWzs19w40YhPLdo/s1600/2014-01-28%25252020.19.55.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQc7CPaC1PwlXLA7VjJnEuwUzHJsZljt2n1u_2H6xlHFLnhdOpLfAtodyDlYMVA6eh9M6ZL9rY-VGrgyn4fIBqwUmTVJrp0vqnuv_7mHVvGWiFgt1lcwkRmCWpikIusVWzs19w40YhPLdo/s640/2014-01-28%25252020.19.55.jpg" /> </a><br /><br />A couple questions are directed at Lowry, who nonchalantly says: "Our decision has been made," and: "We don't collect buildings." Any hope for further discussion is dashed in the course of one sentence, be it an expected one.<br /><br />As the event comes to a close and Kroloff thanks MoMA and the panelists, the largest applause goes to Liz Diller for "her bravery" in presenting. Of course missing from the crowd are Williams and Tsien, but they probably know that coming to the "conversation" with the hopes of a different outcome is unrealistic, something most people in the crowd are sad to realize over the course of the 2-hour event.
