				<description><![CDATA[By the Court of Macerata (Italy), where it is being lawsuit  among Gianluca Francioni  against the city  of Corridonia, the manager of the stadium  "Martini" and the team of Athletics N.A.Fanfulla of Lodi for the payment of damages, arrive finally after almost  three years  the first sensational answers.

For example, came out that the town of Corridonia  has not been established at this stage of the process and seems to want to give up to defend themselves. Instead, according to the manager of the stadium  Martini", the champion Francioni was not authorized to use the facility and in fact could be called an "abusive" and that those structures was at regular maintenance. 
The  athletic  team N.A. Fanfulla of Lodi with which Francioni was affiliated at the time, in response, calls into question the City of Corridonia and the manager of the Stadium, as the team  says, would be held responsible for non maintenance of the platform that caused the accident and  was the athlete to want to train in Corridonia, Fanfulla instead,never interested the conditions under  which the thrower  training. This is normal because the throwers are not considered as the other athletes.
Recall that the story dates back to the winter of 2010, when Gianluca Francioni, shot putter corridoniano  Italian champion, Italian record holder and 5 times on the national team , was training at the stadium "Martini" and because of the failure of the launch platform  where he was training one of his usual workouts, suffered the rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee that forced him to surgical operation for the reconstruction of the same. It should also be noted that in the past the stadium facilities underwent numerous reports made by the athlete for the bad state in which they was  and it seems unlikely that regular maintenance work has been carried seen what happened.

The 40-year-old thrower  announce that he  wants to close permanently with competitive athletics: "I no longer want to compete given what's going on. Be defined as an 'abusive' after more than 25-year career that I was the protagonist of competition in Italy and abroad bringing up the name of Corridonia city, really leaves me baffled, disappointed and sorry. And to think that the cost of the restructuring of the platform did not went beyond a few hundred-dollars  and all this could be avoided. In any case, I have confidence in the judiciary and I am confident that justice will surely of this samake light d story" said the former Italian record holder, until 2010 under the NA Fanfulla of Lodi and that in his long career he wore the shirts of the most prestigious and important Italian teams in athletics and was coached by the famous Tony Naclerio, selector team usa at the World Championships in Tokyo in 1991, and coach at Rutgers University.
Now, the next court date is set for November 22, 2013 and we will see what will be the developments.

				<description><![CDATA[From the 18-foot Fremont Troll squashing a Volkswagen Beetle to a statue of Lenin towering over a public plaza, Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood (self-proclaimed “The Artists Republic of Fremont”) is well-known for its quirky public art.  With the Burke-Gilman Trail running along its perimeter, the neighborhood is also known for its passion for bicycling.  

Today, these two loves are married in a bike-rack-meets-sculpture installation called “Within Reach,” unveiled by Kilroy Realty Corporation at its Fremont Lake Union Center property in celebration of Bike to work Day on Friday, May 17th.  

“Fremont is the epicenter of Seattle’s biking community,” said Jon Shepherd, project manager with Kilroy Realty Corporation.  “To celebrate this cycling spirit, we partnered with local artist Troy Pillow to design a bike rack in the form of a sculpture that is located in close proximity to the popular Burke-Gilman trail and biker-friendly Fremont Bridge.”  

With the sculpture also functioning as a bike rack, the art helps illustrate Kilroy Realty Corporation’s commitment to sustainability through methods such as alternative transportation.  The sculpture also serves as a “check-in” location for Geocaching, a worldwide GPS signal adventure created by Fremont Lake Union Center tenant, Groundspeak.  

Kilroy Realty Corporation acquired the Fremont Lake Union Center properties – which consists of three buildings and is home to Adobe, Tableau and Groundspeak – in 2012.  The “Within Reach” installation is located on the northwest corner of the 701 building near the Fremont Bridge.  The company began purchasing commercial office properties in the Puget Sound Region at the end of 2010. 

Since then, Kilroy Realty Corporation has acquired over 2 million square feet of office space with properties in South Lake Union, Downtown Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Fremont.  

“As a local artist, it’s an honor to create an installation for this community,” said Pillow.  “Fremont is known for its cycling culture and appreciation of art and ’Within Reach’ was created in celebration of both – in a style that was inspired by nature’s simple movement.”
