In at least one significant way, the Denver Art Museum's radically unconventional addition has succeeded before it even opens. Some area residents have scorned the Frederic C. Hamilton Building, others enthusiastically embrace it. It has generated international press attention, and many of the country's top architecture critics have already visited it or soon will. Museum leaders wanted to raise a ruckus and get noticed, and to that end, they have gotten exactly what they wanted. Architect Daniel Libeskind has said the $90.5 million building was inspired in part by the Rocky Mountains. With its faceted, crystalline forms and jutting, sharply sloping walls, it looks like a mineral formation that has just burst from the ground. It is the anti-box. There are no perpendicular lines, no two rooms the same shape.
Despite a lack of communication from Intel, local whitebox builders are generally excited by a $1 million bounty the chipmaker has put on the design of a small and stylish media centre PC. Announced at this week's Intel Developer Forum in the US, the worldwide competition is looking for somebody to build a model that looks at home in the lounge. It must be based on Intel's Viiv technology and Core 2 Duo processor. "We talk to Intel every couple of days but haven't heard anything yet," Plus Corporation managing director, Nigel Fernandes, said. "We'd be keen to give it a go if we're included." Fernandes said Viiv had been a quiet technology to date but predicted the competition might enliven the market. Westan executive director, Kamil Aghtan, and Altech national sales manager, Kevin Hartin, told similar stories.
TOKYO (Reuters) - North Korea's deputy ambassador to the United Nations will be transferred back to North Korea and his post may not be refilled, the Mainichi Shimbun daily reported on Saturday. World concern has been sparked by a North Korean announcement that it plans to carry out a nuclear test, and the U.N. Security Council on Friday warned Pyongyang of unspecified consequences if it did. Quoting U.S. and North Korean sources in a story from Washington, the paper said that Han Song-ryol, whom it described as being in charge of contacts with the United States, would be transferred back to North Korea. The paper said that he may not be replaced, in a move that it said gave an appearance that directions had been given to forbid diplomatic contact with the United States.
