I am a Philadelphia Sports fan which at times can be rough, but tonight we all breath a sign of relief and celebrate a championship. The Phillies beat the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 tonight, winning the world series four games to one. This is their’ second World Series win, the first being the 1980 win over Kansas City.

The philly curse is finally lifted! Before tonight the last championship was won by the Sixers in 1983. No team has won since the 1987 construction of Liberty One, built taller than the William Penn statue at City Hall which broke the friendly agreement. When the Comcast Building was built in 2008 a small statue of william penn was placed at the highest point just to be safe.

Lou Dorfsman, Creative Director for all things CBS for over 40 years died Wednesday in Roslyn NY at the age of 90 due to congestive heart failure. Dorfman has been in the design news a lot recently for the ongoing restoration project of his famous Gastrotypographicalassemblage wall which once lived in the CBS cafeteria. The Center for Design Study has assumed responsibility for the Wall’s preservation, including its restoration, maintenance and exhibition. More about Dorfsman can be found here & here

“He was the kingpin of the New York School of Design, a pluperfect, fearless, uncompromising perfectionist, and a father of corporate image in the world,”
