public display of private party carsOur advertising methods and no-pressure approach for a public display of private party cars gets the job done fast and easy at fair market values. Most vehicle websites tend to bury your vehicle's ad in a vast and overpopulated list of dealer ads. Our ad networking methods have proven to be effective and produce fast results . . never allowing an ad to stagnate. Our 34 years of experience assisting sellers with pricing will often shock those who generally use on-line evaluation sites which lack the personal involvement and local market knowledge required to accurately determine the real value of a car. Check our sold list and see for yourself how cars for sale displayed at Buggy Bank tend to sell at or above the fair market value. Its a jungle out there when you try to sell or buy on your own. You know you can lose a thousand or two in commissions at dealers, but may not suspect you can meet an opportunistic craigslist auto trader wanting to re-sell your car for their profit. Customers have told us they have wasted months and lost thousands chasing their tails in this jungle. Long time customers will only shop and sell at Buggy Bank for that reason alone. Find out more here.
about usBuggy Bank brings buyers and sellers together. Private party cars sell faster here because there are no sales people, no commissions and override costs to get in the way of your deal.

Our hours are 9:00 am to 6:00 pm daily except Tuesdays (NOTE: No test drives after 5:00 pm or key checkouts after 5:30 pm.) .

Our reputation has built us a vast audience in the Bay Area and beyond. Check the public sales records to see how well others in the community have sold here. Review the prices and the number of days cars took to sell to get a sense of how you might do selling your own car here.

Italy Book Tours invited me to read and review The Gondola Maker by Laura Morelli. And I finished the book just in time for my current visit to the floating city (I'm posting this review today from Venice).
The setting of the book, The Gondola Maker, is Venice in 1581. Although this is a work of fiction, the characters and the city of Venice, especially of that time, feel very real. The author goes into great detail on the art and craft of gondola making and through the characters' work, shows all that's involved in creating one of the most famous boats in the world. The gondola is indisputably a symbol of Venice. Along with the gondola, there is usually a gondolier somewhere in the image, the two are virtually inseparable. One doesn't normally think about all the people involved in creating a gondola. In this story, though, the point of view is from that of a gondola maker - even though at one point he becomes a gondolier - and the reader gets what might be an entirely different perspective of Venice, life in the floating city at that time, gondolas, and even gondoliers.
In addition to the details about gondola making, another of the things I loved about this book is how the story takes us through life in Venice at that time. In the details and images the author creates, we get a glimpse of how all types of people might have lived then, and how life was different for each class of society. We see the handyman getting his bread and slab of cheese after a long day's work and the "Councillor" giving lavish private parties with banquet tables filled with all types of game and fish. Even the shoes a poor "boatman" would where gives away his status in society. We also see how rules/laws were carried out and enforced among the classes. I felt as though I could see Venice and all its layers of society in this book. There is a character from practically every part of life in Venice during the 1500s - gondola makers, oar makers, artists, apprentices, a Jewish citizen, a member of the Council of Ten, courtesans, everyday workers - dressmakers, bakers, etc. - and aristocrats.
Luca, the story's "hero" is a bit of a bumbling youth trying to make a life for himself despite what destiny might have in store for him, but he is quite likeable. I found myself rooting for him even though, as the reader, I could foresee that many of his escapades, plans and "deceptions" would only get him into trouble. Luca's story is a fun and easy read even if you care nothing about Venice (is that even possible?). But if you love Venice, as I do, this book is even better. I felt as if I were transported to Venice in the 1500s with Luca as my guide, walking the streets, gliding along the canals, watching the workmen and gondoliers in their shops, and peeking into the palaces of artists and aristocrats.
Overview of the Story:
The book begins with a gondola burning between the two infamous columns "of justice" in the Piazzetta (the "little" piazza right off of Piazza San Marco and also where they held many executions). The gondola burning is part of a gondolier's punishment for throwing a rock at another gondolier while he was transporting the French ambassador around Venice. Luca Vianello, our protagonist, watches as the boat his father, who is known as "our Republic's most renowned gondola maker" crafted is reduced to ashes.
Luca is the oldest Vianello son and, therefore, destined to take over the family's gondola-making business. Luca's life has already been planned for him. He will be a gondola maker. His father has found him a bride, one whose family's business will also make a good marriage to the Vianello's gondola-making business.
From the very beginning, the reader gets the sense that Luca isn't too happy with this life that has already been planned for him. And then not one, but two, devasting tragedies strike the Vianello family. One of the tragedies Luca blames on his father and the other is a result of Luca's actions. Luca sends himself into exile from his family, but he cannot leave his home city of Venice. So he stays and sets out to create a life for himself under the alias of Luca Fabris. Starting homeless and in what would amount to a soup kitchen nowadays, Luca first finds work as a "handyman/gofer" for the manager of a traghetto stand, and then a well-known Venetian painter hires Luca as his personal gondolier.
At the painter's home Luca falls for a woman, the subject of one of his boss's paintings, who is of a totally different class than that of a gondolier. He is also equally fascinated with a broken and abandoned gondola in the painter's boat slip. Luca identifies the gondola as one his grandfather made. The story follows Luca through Venice while he attempts to get close to the girl and restore his grandfather's gondola all the while continuing to hide his true name and family origins. Will he remain a lowly boatman? Will he get the girl? How will he continue to hide his identity? There are a few unforeseen twists to the plot, and although the ending is "happy," its not as predictable as one might expect.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read that I would recommend and perfect one for anyone about to visit Venice.

The Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV test kit detects respiratory syncytial virus and
San Diego-based Quidel makes a wide variety of medical diagnostic products. Many of them focus on infectious threats. In December, Quidel received approval to market a test to detect the dangerous "superbug" C. difficile.
The test is the third approved by the
Quidel has built its reputation around its pregnancy tests, and more recently flu diagnostics, said Bud Leedom, president of Leedom Asset Management. The PCR tests are more rapid and accurate than other tests, said Leedom, who has followed Quidel for years.
The market for RSV testing is relatively small, Leedom said, but adding to its array of tests is positive for the company.
Shares of Quidel closed after the announcement at $23.98, up 13 cents for the day. That's near the top of the company's 52-week range of $14.92 to $24.95.
On Feb. 12, the company reported net income of $8.7 million, or 26 cents per share, for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31. For the same quarter a year earlier, Quidel earned $1 million, or 3 cents per share. For the entire year ended Dec. 31, Quidel earned $5 million, or 15 cents per share, compared with net income of $7.6 million, or 23 cents per share, in the year ended Dec. 31, 2011.
Quidel sales benefited in the fourth quarter and the year from an early start to the flu season, Douglas Bryant, president and CEO, said in an earnings statement.

Okay, so this is the last lesson that I have for you guys today and it's on "how to draw a porcupine for kids", step by step. Even though I absolutely love drawing animals for kids, I am not totally satisfied with how the end results came out. To me, I think I should have added some spikes sporadically on the body so most people would think that the animal for kids is actually a porcupine instead of a hedgehog. I only drew a simple form of a face with the body just consisting of long hair. The face and ear are also something I would have changed because after looking at it for a while the color is really distracting mew from the drawing as a whole. Anyways, as you know porcupines are small to medium sized forest animals that thrive in all parts of the world. Where I live the porcupine are dark in color and graze on grass and cloves as well as other things. I urge you guys to tweak this porcupine for kids to fit your likes. Well that's all I have for you all today. I shall return tomorrow with more drawing fun so make sure to come back. Better yet, why don't you stick around and browsing. Adios mi amigos and enjoy!

A Short History of Pacific Engineering and Research
When Jack Williams started PR&E more than 40 years ago in San Diego, California, they were a service company, focused on building custom solutions for the recording industry. In 1969 a local radio station heard about their variable-speed motor drive for Ampex tape recorders and called for a demo. At that time, the radio industry was searching for better technology to create and air more sophisticated programs with greater efficiency. Word quickly spread about PR&E's systems approach to designing and building custom solutions. In a matter of months, PR&E was focused solely on radio.
continued below
Large-market radio was making the transition from always having dedicated board operators running the console. This "combo operation" risked taking talent's attention away from creative tasks. PR&E engineers spent hours watching how radio programs were produced to find ways to simplify tasks and workflow, then they asked questions, listened, watched some more and questioned some more.
They discovered that substituting the rotary potentiometers found on most radio boards at the time with the linear faders used in the recording industry would greatly improve efficiency. Nothing was overlooked to reach the goals of making every movement smooth, reducing the chance of dead air and facilitating creativity.
The BMX debuted in 1974 as their first off-the-shelf radio console, showcasing a distillation of the common denominators of its predecessors. Console customization was still available, along with design and integration services scalable from consultation to full installation. The BMX changed the way radio was created and helped stations be more profitable.
Their studio product line remained driven towards further enhancements. Wild ideas from conversations with programmers, producers and managers were put in perspective and then put into radio studios and console products. The industry now takes for granted many of their innovations, such as push-button remote controls, routing of mix-minus signals, logic for machine control of audio and other machines, as well as their refining the way equipment was arranged in radio studios.
Every PR&E console was designed to minimize downtime and maintenance costs. While their product range expanded to include additional consoles, studio furniture, wiring harnesses and interconnect solutions Pacific's explosive growth was primarily due to their ability to listen, understand and respond to each client's individual requirements and deliver the best designs, products and installations.
Today, Wheatstone is proud to welcome this great line to our family of broadcast audio products. We look forward to taking PR&E into the future by integrating it with our WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network. We also are already at work expanding the line of PR&E consoles as we take PR&E's original philosophy and meld it with our own passion and expertise.

Project Management: How to Clarify Project Goals
As a project manager, nail down goals before you start planning project-execution details. In your quest to find out what your project is supposed to accomplish and how it fits into your organization's overall plans, you have to seek information that's sensitive, sometimes contradictory, and often unwritten. Getting this information isn't always easy, but following these tips can help make your search more productive:
Try to find several sources for the same piece of information. The greater the number of independent sources that contain the same information, the more likely the information is correct.
Whenever possible, get information from primary sources. A primary source contains the original information. A secondary source is someone else's report of the information from the primary source.
Suppose you need information from a recently completed study. You can get the information from the primary source (which is the actual report of the study written by the scientists who performed it), or you can get it from secondary sources (such as articles in magazines or scientific journals by authors who paraphrased and summarized the original report).
The farther your source is from the primary source, the more likely the secondary information differs from the real information.
Look for written sources because they're the best. Check relevant minutes from meetings, correspondence, e-mail, reports from other projects, long-range plans, budgets, capital improvement plans, market requirement documents, and benefit-cost analyses.
Speak with two or more people from the same area to confirm information. Different people have different styles of communication as well as different perceptions of the same situation. Speak with more than one person, and compare their messages to determine any contradictions.
If you get different stories, speak with the people again to verify their initial information. Determine whether the people you consulted are primary or secondary sources (primary sources tend to be more accurate than secondary ones). Ask the people you consulted to explain or reconcile any remaining differences.
When speaking with people about important information, arrange to have at least one other person present. Doing so allows two different people to interpret what they hear from the same individual.
Write down all information you obtain from personal meetings. Share your written notes and summaries with other people who were present at the meeting to ensure that your interpretation is correct and to serve as a reminder of agreements made during the meeting.
Plan to meet at least two times with your project's key audiences. Your first meeting starts them thinking about issues. Allow some time for them to think over your initial discussions and to think of new ideas related to those issues. A second meeting gives you a chance to clarify any ambiguities or inconsistencies from the first session.
Practice active listening skills in all your meetings and conversations. Active listening is a skill all managers need to develop.
Wherever possible, confirm what you heard in personal meetings with written sources. When you talk with people, they share their perceptions and opinions. Compare those perceptions and opinions with written, factual data (from primary sources, if possible). Discuss any discrepancies with those same people.

2007 Mazda Mazda3 Reviews and Ratings
Sedan 4D i
Expert Reviews
The Mazda3 changed the way people though about compact cars when it was launched as a 2004 model. This is a premium automobile, exciting to drive, styled adventurously, and fully equipped with luxury features. There's nothing austere, basic or cheap about it.
For 2007, Mazda has upgraded the appearance of its s-model sedan and s-model five-door hatchback with a body-color grille, a redesigned front bumper with square foglights, and a new look for both the 16- and 17-inch, cast-aluminum wheels. Detail changes also improve interior appearance, and leather is now optional for all s-models, both sedan and five-door hatchback. An auxiliary audio input with 12-volt power outlet is now standard for all models, making them iPod-friendly.
Upgrades for 2007 also include some changes to improve the driving personality of the Mazda3. Reinforcements to the body shell improve overall chassis rigidity. The front dampers of the MacPherson strut suspension have been retuned to quicken steering response and reduce understeer, while the dampers of the multi-link rear suspension also have been retuned to match. Anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist are standard equipment for all s-models and optional for the i-model sedan. Traction control and stability control are now available for both the s-model sedan and five-door. All models are front-wheel drive.
The Mazdaspeed3 joins the model lineup for 2007. A true high-performance car featuring a 263-hp, turbocharged, 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, the Mazdaspeed3 joins a group of extreme sports sedans that includes the Honda Civic Type S, Mitsubishi Evo MK IX, and Subaru Impreza WRX.
The Mazda3 is built in Japan, yet beneath the skin you'll find evidence of engineering from around the world. Volvo developed the body. Ford contributed the suspension design and sophisticated electronics. And Mazda engineered the four-cylinder engines and then tuned the complete car at its test track in Japan.
As a result, the Mazda3 has the personality of a true world car. It's space-efficient and exciting to drive like a European car. It's practical and economical like a Japanese car. And it's available with a surprising list of comfort and luxury features just like an American car.
The sedan and hatchback versions look quite different. The sedan has the traditional appearance of a four-door, five-passenger car. The five-door hatchback is like the high-fashion station wagons from European manufacturers, offering the practicality of the five-door configuration with an emphasis on a premium driving experience, which means plenty of luxury features plus plenty of driving enjoyment.
The Mazda3 sedan comes with three levels of available equipment: Sport, Touring and Grand Touring. The entry-level i-model is available with a fuel-efficient, 148-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, while the sporty s-model is equipped with a sophisticated 156-hp 2.3-liter four-cylinder.
The Mazda3 five-door hatchback comes standard with the 156-hp 2.3-liter engine. The five-door also comes in Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trim.
Safety features that come on all Mazda3 models include front airbags and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. Side airbags and head-protection curtain airbags are optional. Electronic stability control and traction control are available on uplevel models.
The Mazda3i Sport sedan ($14,390) comes with the 2.0-liter engine with five-speed manual transmission or optional four-speed automatic. It comes with 195/65HR-15 all-season tires. It does not come with power windows or power door locks, yet it includes audio controls mounted on the steering wheel for the standard AM/FM/CD audio system.
The Mazda 3i Touring sedan ($16,750) adds air conditioning, power windows and door locks, cruise control, power-adjustable outside mirrors, an upgraded six-speaker audio system, and 205/55HR-16 all-season tires. A four-speed automatic transmission is optional.
The Mazda3s Sport ($17,685) features the 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine plus 205/55HR-15 tires. A five-speed automatic transmission is optional. Air conditioning, power windows and door locks, and an upgraded audio system are standard.
The Mazda3s Touring ($18,920) adds high-performance 205/50VR17 tires on cast-aluminum wheels, electronic stability control and traction control. Side-impact and head-protection airbags are standard. The Mazda3s Grand Touring sedan ($20,390) adds high-intensity headlights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, automatic climate control, a trip computer, and a theft-deterrent system.
The Mazda3s Sport five-door ($18,175) comes with the 2.3-liter engine and a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic. The 205/50VR17 all-season tires on cast-aluminum wheels are standard, as are anti-lock brakes with brake assist. Power mirrors, windows, and door locks are all standard. Side airbags are not available, but head-protection airbags are standard.
The Mazda3s Touring five-door ($18,920) adds stability control and brake assist. Side- and head-protection airbags are standard. The Mazda3s Grand Touring five-door ($20,390) adds automatic climate control, high-intensity headlights and fog lights, an upgraded audio system, a navigation system and theft-deterrence.
The Mazdaspeed3 five-door comes with a 263-hp turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, five-speed manual transmission, limited-slip differential, stability control and 215/45YR18 tires. Side- and head-protection airbags are standard. There are two versions of the Mazdaspeed3, Sport ($22,240) and Grand Touring ($23,955), which adds rain-sensing windshield wipers, high-intensity headlights, upgraded audio, and an optional navigation system.
The Mazda3 has far more visual presence than you'd expect from a car with a Japanese nameplate. The designers worked hard to give this car the kind of character that will set it apart from other compact cars, and the result is a surprisingly bold look. A broad palette of color choices further distinguishes the Mazda3 from other compacts.
The sedan looks a little clumsy in its stripped-down i-model iteration, but bigger tires give it a more substantial stance.
Meanwhile, the five-door is unique, more like a stretched-out coupe than a five-door hatchback, and it's especially appealing in a radical color choice.
New for 2007 is the use of a body-color grille surround plus a new front bumper with square fog lights for both the s-model sedan and hatchback. Every trim level of the 2007 s-model sedan now has fast-reacting LED taillights, a feature formerly restricted to only up-level models. Meanwhile, the 16- and 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels have a new, brighter, and more substantial style for 2007.
The Mazaspeed3 looks especially tough with its oversized air intake in the front bumper and the mildly flared fenders. The whole front fascia is unique, and the rear taillights and chrome exhaust tips set it apart as well. Big 18-inch cast-aluminum wheels clearly identify this as a high-performance car.
When it comes to compact cars, the game is all about space efficiency. Just how much space can be devoted to the passengers? And is the space useful for all the other tasks that are demanded of a small car?
The Mazda3 sedan measures out to 94.3 cubic feet of passenger space, which compares with the Honda Civic sedan's 90.9 cubic feet. Both the Mazda and the Honda are within fractions in front-seat room, but the Mazda is slightly larger in rear-seat room, notably leg room and shoulder room. The Civic and Mazda3 are virtually identical in trunk volume, with the Mazda rated at 11.4 cubic feet.
The Mazda3 five-door might be compared to a Subaru Impreza Sport Wagon, especially since each is the basis of a high-performance car, the Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza Wagon WRX respectively. The Mazda3 five-door has 95.3 cubic feet of interior volume, while the Subaru is rated at 90.4 cubic feet. Just as with the sedan, the Mazda's advantage lies in rear seat room, notably leg room and shoulder room. Meanwhile the Subaru's cargo volume behind the second seat is about a cubic-foot larger than the Mazda's 17.1 cubic feet.
The utility of the Mazda3's interior is enhanced by a standard folding 60/40 split back seat, which enables you to increase trunk room for large loads. The back of the rear seat doesn't quite fold flat, but it's close. Thanks to this design, the Mazda3 five-door will accommodate 31.2 cubic feet of cargo behind the front seats when the second seat is folded down.
The Mazda3 seats themselves are supportive without being confining, and the use of high-quality foam in the bolsters makes them very comfortable during long drives. Every version of the Mazda3 except for the entry-level sedan features a height adjuster for the driver's seat, and this works with the standard tilt/telescoping steering wheel to enable a wide range of drivers to get a good fit with the controls. Grand Touring editions feature seat warmers. Leather seat upholstery comes standard on Grand Touring models and optional on Touring and Sport editions.
When it's well-equipped with trim and features, the interior of the Mazda3 looks good, although black interiors seem very dark. For s-models, a brushed aluminum surface lends some drama to the dashboard, as does the use of using red-orange electro-luminescent numerals with blue-tinted dials for the instruments. For 2007, Mazda has upgraded the appearance of the i-model sedans with wood trim for the dash and new white-face instrument gauges, and they look very good in light colors.
The Mazda3 affords plenty of practical space, notably a cavernous glovebox. Two built-in cupholders are integrated into the center console, while a small but deep box separates the seats. For 2007, rear-seat armrests with integrated cupholders have been added for both the sedan and five door. Also new for 2007 is an iPod-friendly auxiliary input jack for the audio system including a 12-volt power outlet.
The navigation display screen flips up from the top of the dash, and it offers a bright view, while the software logic for entering destinations and the like is straightforward. The navigation system's controls are located in the center console, however, and they're small and fussy enough (especially the joystick control) to be a chore to operate. The Mazda3 is one of the very few cars in this price class to offer a navigation system.
The Mazdaspeed3's black, leather-trimmed interior has the same overall look as its siblings, but red stitching in the steering wheel, shift knob and seats adds some motorsports style. The thick rim, leather-wrapped rim of the steering wheel feels substantial, while aluminum covers for the control pedals enhance the presentation. The best thing about the Mazdaspeed3's interior is the high-bolstered sports seats, which cradle and support rather than confine. The strategic use of leather and cloth inserts keeps you from inadvertently sliding around when you're driving at a quick pace. These are the kind of seats that will help you rack up a thousand miles of driving in a day.
As with so many cars, the character of the Mazda3 is determined by its engine.
The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine will produce 148 horsepower if you roar it to 6500 rpm, but it requires some intensity to wring out everything it has to give. We think this engine is really designed to offer great fuel economy, as its EPA rating of 28 mpg City/35 mpg Highway on regular-grade gasoline suggests. High-tech variable valve-timing helps improves torque low in the rpm range.
The 2.0-liter engine costs less and is a good choice if you're concerned largely about fuel economy. The engine itself is great, but the Mazda3 itself is a little heavy, so you need all the power you can get. If you're looking for a combination to crawl in commuter traffic, the wide-ratio four-speed automatic is an acceptable choice, but you'll be have to use the transmission's manu-matic shifting feature to have any fun.
The 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine uses all of Mazda's latest technology to deliver substantial power over a wide range of rpm. Its tractable mid-range power helps deliver good throttle response without the need to shift gears frequently. This character sets the Mazda 2.3-liter apart from its competition, and it's more like an engine from an Accord or Camry (larger, more powerful sedans) than its competition in the compact class.
Variable valve-timing and variable intake system improve low-rpm power, while electronic throttle control improves response. Counter-rotating balancers substantially reduce vibration, making this a particularly smooth-running powerplant. At the same time, the engine really does its best work above the torque peak of 150 pound-feet at 4000 rpm as it pulls to its power peak of 156 hp at 6500 rpm, so it needs a little help from the driver's shifting skills to stay in the fat part of the powerband. At the same time, the engine's fuel-economy ratings indicate there's also good things to be had when you drive at a relaxed pace, as it delivers and EPA-rated 26 mpg City/33 mpg Highway on regular grade gasoline.
Both the sedan and the five-door are set up to take advantage of the strong personality afforded by Mazda's MZR-generation engines. The steering with its electro-hydraulic power assist responds crisply and accurately to your command, and the tires afford plenty of grip in the corners. The brakes are up to the task as well. Electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist are standard for S-models and optional for i-models. For 2007, traction control and stability control are available for s-models. As a fun-to-drive package, the Mazda3 has better credentials than its competition.
It might not be entirely correct to put the Mazdaspeed3 in this group of Mazda3 models, as its turbocharged engine with direct fuel-injection delivers 263 hp at 5580 rpm. This front-wheel-drive car also has all the hardware to keep up with so much power, notably a six-speed manual transmission that rips off quick, clean shifts in a way that no other front-wheel drive car can match.
The Mazdaspeed3 is a legitimate 155-mph automobile, yet it's really in its element in the corners. The chassis stays balanced and predictable right to the limit of tire adhesion, and there seem to be no surprises in the way it handles. The limited-slip differential helps keep both front tires delivering optimal power right to the limit, and it carves through the corners in a way that's distinct from its all-wheel-drive competitors like the Subaru WRX and Mitsubishi Evo. Meanwhile, the Mazdaspeed3 also has a quieter, calmer personality on the freeway than its competition.
Rarely does an entry in the compact class attempt to deliver so much to the driver as does the Mazda3. Mazda has worked hard to make this car useful, space-efficient, economical and pleasant across a broad range of driving situations. At the same time, it has also given the car the style, comfort, features, and personality to transform any driving experience into a sporting proposition. Compared to the competition, the Mazda3 is a driver's car, meant for people who enjoy their time in an automobile. It's slightly less refined than its competition from Honda and Toyota, but you seem to get more car for your money, and that means personality as well as features.

Rogers' new office tower in Sydney is a single-minded manifestation of his philosophy, writes Felix Mara. Photography by Brett Boardman
Though formal considerations and composition are essential components of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners' work, they are seldom in the driving seat: building performance and programme are paramount. The practice's Australian 8 Chifley Square office development in the central business district of Syndey, designed with local practice the Lippmann Partnership and scheduled to open in August, takes this hard case philosophy to new levels and weds it with Rogers' single-minded project to transform the urban public realm.
Rogers' urbanism avoids mystical heavy breathing proclaiming the importance of 'THE CITY'. It's a simple, altruistic vision that runs in his veins, driving him to improve public environments and, in spirit, emulate historic urban exemplars. Chifley Square returns its lower storeys to the public and treats its occupants to expansive, virtually uninterrupted, views from relatively small floorplates, a triple-height external space on the 18th floor known as the 'village square' and a generous terrace on the 30th.
Heir to an office design logic that can be traced back to Rogers' Lloyd's Building in the City of London, Chifley Square's designers will give the public the lower floors, where the yield would be lowest, and provide large-span, flexible space for tenants on the upper floors. Like KPF's Heron Tower (AJ 14.07.11), also in the City, it is horizontally divided into 'vertical villages', within each of which the floor plates wrap around three sides of an atrium, which brings daylight to their centre and creates a range of workplace environments.
But Rogers adjusts the typology by varying the number of storeys within each of the seven villages and introducing two single-storey zones. The villages can be configured to provide meeting places and more private spaces and are intended to improve communication, enable small working communities to form, optimise office technology and make workplaces less formal.
The pursuit of large, horizontal spans and fewer vertical supports at 8 Chifley Square has generated four 1.7 x 1.7m perimeter mega-columns and, with Sydney's propitious ground conditions, each of these touches down with a 2 x 4m sandstone pad. As the mega-columns' precast concrete shells, with 150mm walls, stacked up, reinforcement was lowered into their voids and embedded in concrete.
There is also a grid of four 900 x 900mm in-situ concrete columns within the offices, but these transfer to the mega-columns via raking composite concrete-filled steel box members, which traverse the triple-height village square and the five-storey space above the plaza, which Arup principal Andrew Johnson refers to as a 'reverse podium'. Because of these raking members, springing from colossal concrete haunchings and used as jump-start structures during construction, the plaza and village square have no inboard columns.
Johnson adds, 'If the inboard columns in the offices in the lower, 12-storey, section of the tower carried loads from the nine-story section above, their plan area would double.'
Also, this additional load transfer to the mega-columns improves their resistance to wind loads and seismic action. Earthquakes measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale are possible in south-east Australia and, because the tower's core is on the south side, where views are blocked by its neighbour, the frame tends to twist. So, augmenting those loaded-up mega-columns, there is steel cross-bracing which connects to them at six-storey intervals. The uppermost mega-brace projects upwards to support the bow-string trusses of a lightweight roof and, responding to the reverse podium's geometry, the lower members at this level form more acute angles than the others, adding visual interest.
As is customary in Rogers' buildings, components are colour-coded like anatomical drawings, with blue for the transfer columns and red for the swayframe. The springy bracing members, resembling grasshopper legs against the chunky mega-columns, draw structural diagrams on the facades. The floors cantilever 4.5m on the tower's north side. The bracing relieves the shear load resistance required of the core, freeing up its planning.
Glistening like a fire engine, the dominant leitmotif is the node where the four bracing members meet, restrained by a horizontal tie connecting to the concrete beams. This accommodates the thermal expansion of the braces and the compression forces acting on them when the concrete frame contracts, squashing vertically like a universal joint. Rotating in space about the horizontal tie's axis and sliding up to 30mm, one pair of 1.3m-long stainless steel pins threaded through the gnashing teeth of the red bracing members handles tension. Two work when the building sways in the north direction, and the opposing two when it sways south. A fixed node would have doubled the cross-bracing steelwork's volume.
Costs were reduced by proving that the bracing steelwork could have a zero fire rating. Arup's fire strategy argued that high-level bracing was sufficiently remote from anticipated maximum fire loads lower down the tower. Arup's calculations referred to British codes resting on specific wind load cases and assumed two hours' simultaneous evacuation with a two-month post-fire window within which the structure's temporary stability could be made permanent. The steel fire stairs, supplemented by evacuation lifts, also have zero fire rating. Being external, they save 2,000m² of net area.
'We modelled Chifley Square in Revit from day one,' says Johnson. 'We used it to model the services and schedule elements to be handed to the steelwork fabricator, who worked in Tekla, but there was no architectural BIM model and we used ETABS to analyse the structure and Navisworks for clash detection: leaving aside reinforcement schedules, Arup no longer works in 2D.'
Prioritising building performance, Chifley Square has high eco-targets, with a trigeneration plant generating on-site energy, provision for rooftop PVs, external shading to the north and north-west facades, high daylight factors working in conjunction with user-operated blinds and low U-values. Helped by structural efficiency, GGBS cement, local and recycled reinforcement, low CO2 emissions per square metre are expected. Structural steelwork was imported from China, but had a higher recycled content than the Australian equivalent.
Moments of lightness and frivolity relieve 8 Chifley Square's heavyweight, four-square physique - in the nonchalant asymmetry generated by changes in the level of the plaza floor and its landscaping, the way the upper segment of the tower pops up like a jack-in the-box, the stainless steel cables supporting the roof of its frameless glass lobby and tying down the rooftop bowstring trusses. But even this is designed to be wind-permeable.
'What you see is what you get,' says Arup board director Tristram Carfrae. Chifley Square may be as close as architecture gets to the physical manifestation of a philosophy.

President Barack Obama pardoned two turkeys at the White House Wednesday, in an annual Thanksgiving rite.
Cobbler, the newly designated national turkey, and his alternate, Gobbler, both scored a reprieve.
"The American people have spoken, and these birds are moving forward," Obama said.
Cobbler and Gobbler are both 19 weeks old and weighs 40 pounds. Their names were selected from submissions by elementary school students in Rockingham County, Va., where the birds were raised.
For the first time this year, the American public had a say in which bird would become the national Thanksgiving turkey. They were asked to cast their votes on the White House Facebook page. As of Wednesday afternoon, Cobbler's page had 2,777 "likes" and Gobbler's page had 2,547 "likes."
"Because of your votes, the only cobbler anyone is eating this thanksgiving will come with a side of ice cream," Obama joked.
Obama also invoked New York Times writer Nate Silver, whose analysis of polls had correctly forecast the president's re-election.
"Once again Nate Silver nailed it," Obama joked of Cobbler's win.
The birds are set to "spend the their twilight years," as the president put it, at George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens, Today.com reported.
The tradition of pardoning a Thanksgiving turkey at the White House started with President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
It's not without its controversy. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had called for the end of the tradition because it mocked "the mass slaughter of some 46 million gentle, intelligent birds," Today.com reported.

Park to welcome Indiana Jones, Yoda
APThe West Australian
A Northern California park being built on land donated by filmmaker George Lucas will feature statues of Indiana Jones and Yoda, two of his most popular characters.
The Marin Independent Journal reports that the San Anselmo Planning Commission voted unanimously on Monday to approve the downtown park. It could be completed as soon as June 1.
Lucas donated land for the 2650sqm park.
A commercial building on the site will be demolished at Lucas' expense, and a historic fresco will be relocated.
A fund is being established by a community foundation to pay for the park's ongoing maintenance and care.
The park's Yoda fountain will be similar to the one located at the Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco.

In recent years, the burden on governments and nongovernmental organizations to create or serve as a catalyst for social change has begun to shift toward ultrawealthy private investors.
Charitably inclined individuals and families increasingly understand that today's complex global challenges require more than traditional philanthropy, according to Christina Alfonso, chief executive of Madeira Global, an investment advisory firm in New York that specializes in impact investing.
Today, many high-net-worth philanthropists are engaging in impact investing, an approach that aims to generate both financial return and measurable, positive social or environmental change by supporting for-profit enterprises that create sustainable, innovative products and services.
Examples include microfinance, whereby a lender provides small loans to promising startup enterprises, often in developing economies; and a web-based education treatment solution for autism assessment, training and data tracking.
Impact investments can be structured as debt, equity or a combination of the two, and can earn returns ranging from below- to above-market rates.
The size of the current impact investment market is between $30 billion and $50 billion, based on various estimates, Alfonso said.
Donors who are interested in impact investing often are not sure how to think about creating a strategy for impact or how to identify investment opportunities, Alfonso said in a telephone interview.
This prompted her and her partner Alexandra Cart to open Madeira Global in 2012 to help clients navigate the myriad options in order to create a planned type of investment.
The firm's clients typically are in the $200 million-plus net worth range, Alfonso said. "The reason for that is we're seeing that as a first go, impact investors are allocating from 1% to 5% of their overall asset base to impact.
"If you use those numbers, $5 million is the cutoff where anything less than $5 million is typically going to a fund to allow you the exposure as well as the diversity. Anything above $5 million is where the client is most interested in identifying specific investment opportunities that meet their financial expectations and social objectives."
Those most interested in social venture capital generally fall in the under-40 age group, she said. "Many of the next-gens are serving as both social entrepreneurs and impact investors."
But whether philanthropists are investing or giving their money away, "the common thread is efficient capital deployment," she said.
Madeira Global is a hybrid structure: an LLC, which provides advisory services, and Madeira Global Foundation, a Delaware-based 501(c)(3) entity. The two entities share a mission, to support for-profit social businesses.
The foundation, Alfonso said, serves some clients as a platform to transition from tradition charitable giving to performance-driven grantmaking.
Allocating Capital, Mitigating Risks
Madeira Global offers clients a four-step process for allocating capital to impact investments.
Advisors first create an actionable investment mandate based on a client's objectives, risk profile, and financial and social return expectations. These factors determine the scope, size and type of investments within the mandate.
Next, with the client-specific mandate parameters in hand, advisors filter deal flow from a global pipeline, assess the suitability of filtered investment opportunities and, with a green light from the client, perform a rigorous due diligence on selected investments.
Then comes capital deployment. Whether this will be in the form of debt, equity or a grant will depend on the clients comfort and risk profile.
Alfonso said the Madeira Global Foundation allows support to come through the allocation of performance-driven grants as a way of bridging the gap between traditional philanthropists and impact investors.
Early- and growth-stage social businesses require financial and strategic advisory assistance as they strive to address global challenges through sustainable solutions. Grant capital gives social entrepreneurs the opportunity to test for proof of concept as they set a solid framework for their business and create a strategic plan for future growth and scale.
"It's important to ensure you're identifying the right targets," Alfonso said. "Then, the second part of the equation is, how do we structure this appropriately?"
The fourth step of the capital allocation process involves active management of the investment and ongoing reporting on social and financial performance.
Alfonso noted that various risks attend impact investment, and she said Madeira Global was upfront with clients about these challenges.
Those considering overseas investments expose themselves to currency risk as well as political and economic risk. Liquidity is another concern. Many equity investments are considered early stage, and the lockup while waiting for an exit can be eight to 10 years.
Fees can be onerous. These include transaction costs per deal size, cap intro fees and the cost of robust due diligence.
There are also the costs involved in managing the investments on a local level. And perhaps not surprisingly, insurance products are starting to appear in the impact investment space, tacking on another fee.
Metrics to capture social progress are a work in progress, "but we're getting there," Alfonso said.
"Impact investing is challenged by an inefficient market, disproportionately high costs relative to the risk and opacity and complexity," she said.
"We address those challenges by identifying an impact mission and objective, so having a clear focus and angle, increasing transparency and then reducing those transaction costs.
In terms of risks, it is important to list and assess them, and then account for them in planning and deployment, Alfonso said.
If called for, Madeira Global creates hedging strategies, applies diversification, reduces correlation across the portfolio, designs customized metrics if necessary for particular investments in a client's portfolio, and regularly monitors and actively manages the investment.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – The Georgia College softball team (25-23, 9-11 PBC) finished off their 2012 regular season slate with a pair of loses to Columbus State University (36-18, 11-9 PBC), dropping the first game 3-1 before an 11-3 loss in the nightcap.
GC received another great performance from senior Sabrina Chandler (Covington, Ga.) in game one, going six innings allowing just three runs on six hits. Chandler struck out five and walked just a pair in the hard-luck loss, falling to 9-10.
The Bobcats only managed three hits in the 3-1 loss, but two of those came from senior and Columbus native Haley Burnett (Columbus, Ga.).
Burnett went 2-for-3 at the plate with a pair of singles, driving in Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) in the top of the seventh.
Georgia College made a valiant comeback effort in game two after surrendering four runs in the bottom of the first.
Burnett relieved went four innings in relief of starter Erica Bell (Fayetteville, Ga.), giving up three runs on two hits.
A Natalie Bellantoni (Oviedo, Fla.) double in the top of the fifth followed by a fielding error later in the inning led to three Bobcat runs to cut the score to 4-3.
Unfortunately, the Cougars plated three of their own in the bottom half of the fifth and four in the bottom of the sixth to grab the 11-3 victory.
The Bobcats currently sit seventh in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) standings and lead Francis Marion University based on winning percentage for that seed. The top eight make the PBC Tournament this weekend.
GC will head return to Columbus, Ga. for the PBC Tournament set to begin Saturday, April 21. Seeding will be announced later this week.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.
