CHICAGO -- Prominent national architects and city planners will lay out their visions of public places and private spaces in the 21st century at a conference, "Public Places, Private Spaces and People's Lives," in Chicago on Oct. 4-5 sponsored by the President's Council of Cornell Women, a Cornell University alumnae group. One of the highlights of the meeting will be a presentation by New York architect Jill Lerner, co-chair of the Civic Alliance Memorials Committee and the New York Visions Memorial Committee, an open process to develop a plan for the memorials at the World Trade Center site in New York. She will speak Friday afternoon on the debate over rebuilding the trade center or building a memorial to the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The conference also will address many other issues -- from urban development and public policy to America's new communities. (October 3, 2002)

NEW ORLEANS -- The era of waiting days for E. coli bacteria lab results soon will be at an end for food processors and health departments, thanks to a new type of biological sensor that works much like a home-pregnancy test in one format.
