Lewis Davis (1925–2006) was a noted architect and a co-founder of the architectural firm Davis Brody Bond. He was born in 1925 in New York, served in the Army Air Forces from 1943 to 1945, and received a bachelor's and a master's degree in architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. From 1958–87 Davis was a design studio critic at The Cooper Union.
In 1952, Davis, Samuel M. Brody, and Chester Wisniewski—both Brody and Wisniewski also taught at The Cooper Union—opened their practice as Davis, Brody & Wisniewski. After Alan Schwartzman became a partner in 1965 the firm changed its name to Davis, Brody & Associates. The firm's early work includes several notable housing projects such as Riverbend, a middle-income complex in upper Manhattan completed in 1967, and the distinctive, mixed-income towers of Waterside Plaza which opened in 1974 on the East River in Kips Bay.
Davis worked on several well-known project including the United States Pavilion at Expo '70 in Osaka, Japan—undertaken in collaboration with fellow Cooper Union faculty member Anthony Candido, and noted for featuring one of the first air-supported cable roofs; the Jane B. Aron Residence hall and the Icahn Institute (also known as the East Building) at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine; the Samuel B. and David Rose Building at Lincoln Center; and the William and Anita Newman Library at Baruch College. In 1990 Davis, Brody merged with Bond Ryder & Associates to become Davis Brody Bond Architects and Planners.

Activities & Play (ages 5 to 8)
Sports & Exercise (ages 5 to 8)
Is my kindergartner ready to play a team sport?
By David Geller, M.D., pediatrician
There's nothing wrong with cheering your 5-year-old on if he enjoys kicking a ball around with other kids his age. The emphasis should be on having fun and getting exercise — not on competition. Many 5-year-olds get a kick (so to speak...) out of playing a casual game of soccer or tee ball. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends waiting, though, until age 6 before introducing team sports, since few kids understand the concept of teamwork until this age. Kindergartners should spend most of their time engaged in free play — running, jumping, chasing.
That said, no two children grow and mature at the same rate, so don't automatically discount sports for your preschooler. Many communities have sports leagues for 5-year-olds where the kids get to wear team shirts, line up on the field, and then just run around chasing the ball or each other. So if your child is keen, look for a good match. As long as your child has fun and doesn't feel pressured to participate, that's fine — whether he's actively strategizing the defense or simply running around and getting a little exercise. Pushing your 5-year-old to star in sports, on the other hand, may turn him away from an activity that should be a lifelong source of enjoyment.
A few things to keep in mind: Your kindergartner can handle only a limited amount of instruction, and won't pick up on the finer points of a game anytime soon. In fact, he can probably follow only two or three commands at once, such as "Kick the ball while you run and then kick it into the net" or "Try to get the ball from the other player and then run with it." And a "game" of 20 minutes or so is plenty for kids this age. The emphasis, of course, should not be on winning or losing but on having a great time — if you can incorporate other important values, such as sharing and taking turns, all the better.

It's not called the iPad 3, but the third generation of iPad would be named as "the new iPad" or just the 'iPad'. It is a great announcement of the day and this iPad would be launched soon on 16th of March 2012.
Tim Cook the CEO of Apple introduced the iPad yesterday and the physical design look nearly identical to that of the iPad 2. The physical difference in the design would be in the weight; the new iPad is thicker than iPad 2. Actually not that much, as the tablets waist line has grown from 8.8mm to 9.44mm. So would you notice this difference? Probably, I think that iPad 2 users would notice that difference.
So what are the new features on the new iPad? The new iPad will run faster on 4G networks from Verizon and AT&T. As soon as you turn on the screen, you will be surprised by the amazing display. Before, iPad 2 has a 1024 x 768 resolution, and now the new iPad has a 2048 x 1536 'Retina Display' resolution. The high-definition 'Retina Display' and a processor upgrade will offer four times the performance of the iPad 2'. Don't forget, this would be a graphical upgrade for gamers as well!
The camera of the new iPad will be improved from 0.7 megapixels (fixed focus) to 5 megapixels (autofocus). After u made some good shots with this camera, you can adjust your photos with iPhoto, which seems like a great and fun tool to control the exposure, colour and so on of your photos. As in the video, just use your fingers and touch the screen to adjust your photos.
Wow, can't wait! Just one more week!


Barclays Premier League – August 25th 2007.
Liverpool ended their 2-0 win over Sunderland with two of their three recognised central defenders injured. Sami Hyypia was replaced after 15 minutes following an earlier injury to his nose which would not stop bleeding, and was causing blurred vision: it was later confirmed to be a broken nose. Sami may still have to play on Tuesday despite the injury, after his fellow centre-back Jamie Carragher went off injured too. In Carra's case it seems more serious, a rib injury caused accidentally by the knee of Pepe Reina. There is still no official news from the club as to whether the ribs were broken or bruised, or how long he's set to be out for – but it could be as much as six weeks.
Centre-half was the only position Liverpool boss Rafa Benítez didn't really have covered by his "two players for every position" plans, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him move for some cover before the transfer window closes on Friday. The club confirmed today that young Argentine centre-back Gabriel Paletta had joined Boca Juniors in a permanent deal, after making just eight appearances for the club. He was often on the bench last season, as effectively Liverpool's fourth-choice centre-back, but his lack of pace was considered a serious weakness for English football. Liverpool used Alvaro Arbeloa at centre-back yesterday after Carra went off, the right-back moving from left-back to do so. Left-back Fabio Aurelio started full training again last week again too, which could allow John Arne Riise to play as a make-shift centre-back should circumstances – and opponents – permit, although Rafa may take a chance on promoting Jack Hobbs from his young reserve squad.
If Rafa does have to field a weaker defence than he will at least have the reassurance that his offensive players are performing well. Fernando Torres was a constant threat to Sunderland, both with his own chances at goal and the chances he created. Andriy Voronin is turning into the bargain of the summer after his free transfer. Momo Sissoko – who actually started out as a striker earlier in his career – finally scored his first goal for Liverpool yesterday, and along with Xabi Alonso made sure Liverpool didn't really miss injured captain Steven Gerrard too much. Momo's goal was Liverpool's 7000th league goal.
Sunderland: Gordon, Halford, McShane, Nosworthy, Wallace, Miller, Etuhu, Yorke (Leadbitter, 61), Richardson (Stokes, 20), Chopra, Murphy (Connolly, 78).
Liverpool: Reina, Finnan, Carragher (Riise, 75), Hyypia (Agger, 15), Arbeloa, Pennant, Alonso, Sissoko, Babel (Kuyt, 88), Torres, Voronin.
A deserved win for you lads in a game where class told in the end. We gave it a good go and if Stokes had managed to score just after he came on we might have made it a bit closer.
As usual anyone who has never scored seems to get off the mark against us and the first goal was an absolute belter in every sense of the word.
Cheers Del – I'm sure we'll be back at your place next season, you've got some good players there. And of course – good luck on your travels on Saturday!
I think your winning many fans already. I am surprised how mature Keane has been as manager at such an early stage.
I hope to see you next year and good luck.
