Sunday Night Celebration

Manuela, would you mind posting your address and nearby grocery stores? I'm trying to plan the details of tomorrow night and don't want to show up empty-handed. If you don't feel comfortable posting the address, no problem. I'll see you all soon!

Great job today, and have fun tomorrow!

I went to the Whitney Museum before class today and just had to break the no cameras rule (thank you iPhone) so I could share this... 

Calder's exhibit from the Paris Years (1920s & 30s) is really amazing.  My favorite part?  Coming across this one small sculpture of what he called "the arched man."

hi Guys,

In One Section of Beth Israel Hospital, Some Patients Are Saying ‘Om,’ Not ‘Ah’

Hey, guys. I ran across this article in yesterday's Times and thought i'd pass it along... see you friday! -alyssa

"A foundation run by Donna Karan, creator of the “seven easy pieces” philosophy of women’s wardrobes and founder of the much-imitated DKNY line of clothing, has donated $850,000 for a yearlong experiment combining Eastern and Western healing methods at Beth Israel Medical Center. Instead of just letting a celebrated donor adopt a hospital wing, renovate it and have her name embossed on a plaque, the Karan-Beth Israel project will have a celebrated donor turn a hospital into a testing ground for a trendy, medically controversial notion: that yoga, meditation and aromatherapy can enhance regimens of chemotherapy and radiation."
