Princeton Architectural Press * Urbanisms
In his new book,ÊUrbanisms, architect Steven Holl suggests that just as modern medicine has recognized the power of the irrational psyche, urban planners need to realize that the experiential power of cities cannot be completely rationalized and must be studied subjectively. With a selection of urban and architectural projects from his thirty-year practice, Holl stretches urban planning into the domain of uncertainty, from prose into poetry. Urbanisms examines how perception and the senses are intertwined with the material, space, and light of urban form.

rules for living well
by blackgoldfish
Choose quality over quantity with everything - shoes, friends, food - everything.
Look into alternative forms of medicine.
Take the time to figure out who you really are, what you like and dislike, what you need and don't.
Live within your means and respect every dollar you make.
Cultivate a passion.
Eat Real Food! Stay away from processed and buy local whenever you can.
Refuse to give in to texting.
As hard as it is, acknowledge and work on whatever keeps you from living the life of your dreams.
Refuse to play small or dim your light in order to make others comfortable.
Listen to your body.
Spend part of every day in silence, even if it's ten minutes.
Create a living space that reflects who you are.
Make visual beauty a priority.
Tell people you love them often.
Be true to yourself at all costs.
Evaluation of Digital Repository Software at the National Library of Medicine
by parmentierf
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Library of Medicine® (NLM) undertook an 18-month project to evaluate, test and recommend digital repository software and systems to support NLM's collection and preservation of a wide variety of digital objects. This article outlines the methodology NLM used to analyze the landscape of repository software and select three systems for in-depth testing. Finally, the article discusses the evaluation results and next steps for NLM. This project followed an earlier NLM working group, which created functional requirements and identified key policy issues for an NLM digital repository to aid in building NLM's collection in the digital environment.

Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence
by borsky
(SENS)- A practical way to cure human aging - Website of Dr. Aubrey de Grey
"SENS Foundation was founded to develop, promote and ensure widespread access to regenerative medicine solutions to the disabilities and diseases of aging. We shall be focusing on the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) identified by our Chief Science Officer, Dr Aubrey de Grey, and combining direct research efforts with education, affiliation and outreach programs."
"A key aspect of SENS is its potential to extend healthy lifespan without limit, even with repair processes which remain imperfect, as the repair only needs to approach perfection rapidly enough to keep the overall level of damage below pathogenic levels. Aubrey has termed this required rate of improvement of repair therapies, "longevity escape velocity"."

make it known: Worldly Reading/Watching
by srcmax (via)
My research led me to 'Gaza Sderot - Life In Spite of Everything', a web-documentary by a French company. It follows the lives of men, women and children in two cities on the Israeli Palestinian border. Every day since October 26, 2008, two 2minuted videos are uploaded, one from each side. They are viewed side by side, giving a truly real look at the daily lives of these people. Despite the many dangers (air bombings and rocket attacks, power cuts and lack of food or medicine) the people never stop working, loving, and dreaming. It's been really amazing to get to know the people and follow their lives, and contrast them with how good we have it here in Canada. It's all very inspiring, and makes me want to do something.

CTSim: The Computed Tomography Simulator
by tadeufilippini
Overview
Computed Tomography is the technique of estimating the interior of objects from the measurements of radiation projected through the object. That radiation can be transmitted through the object such as in X-ray computed tomography or emitted from internal radiation sources as in nuclear medicine scans.
Computed Tomography is an extremely imporant imaging technique in modern medicine. It provides a 3-dimensional view inside the body useful for diagnosing illness such as stroke, internal bleeding, bone fractures, and gastrointestinal problems like diverticulitis and appendicitis.
CTSim simulates the process of transmitting X-rays through phantom objects. These X-ray data are called projections. CTSim reconstructs the original phantom image from the projections using a variety of algorithms. Additionally, CTSim has a wide array of image analysis and image processing functions.
