Pattern avoids cliche aesthetics at Melbourne surf park restaurant
Australian studio Pattern has teamed industrial grey bricks, concrete and steel with warm-toned timber in the interior of this poolside restaurant on the outskirts of Melbourne.
The eatery belongs to local restaurant chain Three Blue Ducks and is situated in the Urbnsurf park, with an outdoor dining area that has views across the artificial, two-hectare surf lagoon.
Pattern, which was also responsible for designing Urbnsurf s changing rooms and surf rental areas, was conscious to steer clear of the kind of cliche aesthetics commonly associated with surfing while making the restaurant memorable.

Keith Nuest, a 1961 Kouts grad, has spent more than half of his life as his alma mater s boys basketball statistician.
On Saturday, the 78-year-old was finally able to see the Mustangs play for their first state title at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Of course, he was keeping stats. You can count on him just like you can count on paying taxes every year, Kouts coach Kevin Duzan said. He s always going to answer the bell, and he s always going to be there.
Prior to the Mustangs Class A state final appearance, which ended in a 64-48 loss to Barre-Reeve, I spoke to Keith about his labor of love, which has helped him become a walking, talking almanac for not only Kouts but several other schools around Porter County and the Region.

THE BUZZ FIRST IN PLAYBOOK: Just two weeks after the launch of Gavin Newsom’s official campaign to beat back what he’s calling the “Republican recall” drive, the Democratic governor’s team has reaped $3.1 million in donations, POLITICO has learned.

The unionization push at the chain of papers known as the Southern California News Group includes marquee publications like the Orange County Register, Los Angeles Daily News, Daily Breeze and the Riverside Press-Enterprise. Together, they reach millions of monthly readers and over 450,000 Sunday print subscribers, according to a statement from the union organizers.
Organizers at the newly formed SCNG Guild said that the push to unionize comes in response to continued budget and staffing cuts by the chain’s parent company, Alden Global Capital’s MediaNews Group.
Alden, a New York-based hedge fund, has gained a reputation for making deep cuts to newsrooms it acquires as it squeezes more profits from them. Doug Arthur, an analyst at Huber Research specializing in media and internet stocks, described Alden in the Washington Post as the “ultimate cash flow mercenary” that seeks cash flow to “bleed to death.”

In 2016, a team led by UCLA’s Martin Monti reported that a 25-year-old man recovering from a coma had made remarkable progress following a treatment to jump-start his brain using ultrasound.
Wired U.K. called the news one of the best things that happened in 2016. At the time, Monti acknowledged that although he was encouraged by the outcome, it was possible the scientists had gotten a little lucky.
