FOUR years ago Henry Scott, a media consultant living in Manhattan, hired Sergio Guardia to design a weekend house on a wooded site in Kerhonkson, N.Y. Mr. Guardia, an architect who was born in Bolivia and trained at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, came up with plans for a futuristic house set on thick steel beams cantilevered over a hillside.

NOT JUVENTUDES REPORT 06/07
Monday is the big Raw draft show from Wilkes-Barre, PA., which will include many special guest appearances including Mick Foley, Jesse Ventura, Bobby Heenan and Gene Okerlund. The Jackass vs WWE angle is supposed to begin on this show. Supposedly.
The way the draft is going to be done is there will be a series of interpromotional matches on Raw and each winner will then get to pick a wrestler from the losing roster for his team. The show will open in the ring at 8 p.m. Eastern with a champion vs. champion match with John Cena vs. Edge.
Add Moolah and Mae Young to the guests for Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night tomorrow night on Raw.

Crazy Tuesday coming. ECW of course, as well as a live UFC show from Hollywood, FL, and Oxygen debuts its version of its season of Ultimate Fighter, called Fight Girls. Gina Carano is a coach and Kerry Vera (Brandon's wife) is one of the women. You may remember her and Brandon brought her to the ring to announce their wedding in Las Vegas at one of the UFC shows. I think all three shows are going head-to-head, with the Oxygen show at 10:30 p.m. Eastern.
Butterbean was supposed to fight last night in Coeur D'Alene, ID at North Idaho College. The show was canceled because the people working the show couldn't figure out how to set up the ring. The fighters were there hanging with the crowd for two hours as the workers tried to figure out how to put the ring together. Two hours later, the show was called off. The crowd got its money back. And at least the fighters were paid.

“He treated the whole property as one house,” said Michael Moran, a photographer who visited the property several times in the 1990s. “The guest house was the bedroom, the Glass House was the living room, the library was his study.” There is little doubt, though, that for Mr. Johnson the 1,728-square-foot Glass House, for which he named the entire property, remained the centerpiece.

When criminal investigator and part-time DJ Dori Hadar stumbled across hand-painted LP sleeves containing cardboard "records," he knew he had to find out more about the artist. The result is his book, "Mingering Mike: The Amazing Career of an Imaginary Soul Superstar." (This story first aired on WNYC's Studio 360.)

If President Bush and Vice President Cheney can blurt out vulgar language, then the government cannot punish broadcast television stations for broadcasting the same words in similarly fleeting contexts.
Two years after arriving at Nanterre, Jean [Baudrillard] was thrown into the most momentous event in recent French history—May ’68. Many people who take him simply for a dandy or a cynic forget the significance of these weeks of intense fever and utopia suddenly realized, which he experienced firsthand. It was all the more powerful since no one had thought it possible. For a while he became an activist, even a Maoist, but it did not take him long to realize that the same media that had snowballed the Paris events around the rest of the country, bringing General de Gaulle to his knees, had also brought about the sudden deflation that followed. Nevertheless, May ’68 remained for him one of the extraordinary occasions when signs assume a singular meaning—a radical event up there with the attacks on the World Trade Center. May ’68 and the twin towers were both far more formidable in their abrupt disappearance than they ever were in actuality. Indeed, after the latter event, Jean claimed that architecture had lost its ability to define space or acquire symbolic power. Architecture had nothing left to express beyond its own flat functionality, and he notoriously concluded that only those buildings that deserve to be destroyed are worth erecting.

Sion Misrahi has revamped the Lower East Side, helping to transform old storefronts around Orchard Street into trendy businesses, but not everyone is impressed with the changes.
But the company owned by C. C. Myers, a 6-foot-5 contractor who favors peacock cowboy boots, fixed the mangled freeway so fast that some residents have recalibrated their respect for the California Department of Transportation, which hired him.
The state estimated that repairs to the 165-foot-long ramp between Interstates 80 and 580 would take 50 days and cost $5.2 million. For every day short of the June 26 deadline, it promised a $200,000 bonus, not to exceed a total of $5 million. The highest bid came in at $6.4 million. Mr. Myers’s company, C. C. Myers Inc., won with the lowest bid — $867,075 — and completed the project in 17 days, winning the full $5 million.
