单选题New Plan for Gallery Design Officials from the Arizona state government announced that there will be an architecture design competition for the new Tucson Modern Art Gallery. The competition is the first stage of the construction of the gallery, and it is expected that the whole project will be finished by 2014. The gallery, which will be built on the site of the old town hall, is the focus of the state government's push to make Tucson and the surrounding region a tourist center for arts and culture. Government officials are confident that the competition will attract a number of bold and innovative designs. They have invited architects from across the country and from overseas to participate. Architects will send a copy of the proposed design along with a letter explaining their concept. The competition closes on December 12 this year, after which a panel of experts will review the entries and pick a winner. The public's opinion will also be taken into account, as all entries will be published on a website where people will be able to cast a vote for their favorite design. Design Competition Selection Committee Arizona State Government PO Box 9817 Tucson, AZ Dear Selection Committee members, Thank you for the opportunity to enter this design contest. I think this is a bold and exciting move, and I'm sure you will end up commissioning a brilliant new gallery for Tucson. I can only hope you choose my entry among all the excellent designs you will surely receive. As a resident of Tucson, I feel I understand this region very well, which is why I think my design has an edge. As anyone living in Tucson knows, this region has an extremely hot and dry climate. What I want to do is provide a refreshing change from that environment. Accordingly, the main concept of my design is the idea of an ice cube. Using just light blue and white walls, and clear panels and windows, my design creates a fantastic visual appeal. From inside the lobby, gallery visitors will actually have the illusion of being inside a block of ice! I hope you can take the time to view this design in more detail. I'm sure you will agree that it is an impressive and interesting approach. Regards, Kelly Matthewson

In the study, researchers assessed the number of calories burned by men and women when they followed the exercise routines on several different training videos. The intensity of the exercise was "basic", "intermediate", and "advanced." The following results were produced: Both men and women burned the most calories when exercising with Step Class vide.os. In contrast, men and women both experienced intermediate results with the Yoga and Tae Bo videos. Regardless of the degree of intensity, men usually burn calories faster than women can because men tend to have a lower proportion of fat to muscle than women, which means they can burn calories quicker. Before beginning any new exercise program, make sure you consult your doctor first, because some of these exercises may produce muscular and joint-related injuries. Workout Press, April 19
