Architects are considered young at 40.

With five to eight years of schooling plus apprenticeship at one or more established firms, architects are most often in their 30s before they begin to practice alone.

They are, then, in their 40s by the time they establish a name and an independent reputation.

It was that way for the outstanding Pittsburgh architect Gary Carlough, who died suddenly two weeks ago at the age of 62 at a point in his career where he was looking forward to another 10 or 15 years of creative work.

Carlough was the founder of EDGE Studio, which produced the most exciting architecture in the city in recent years.

He started EDGE in 1995 at the age of 43, and the studio has won scores of awards for its inventively modern architecture since. EDGE, for example, wins something almost every year in the local American Institute of Architecture awards, judged by panels of architects from other cities. Just three years ago, EDGE took three of the nine top awards.

In a city where many architects today put up tame buildings in a devolved postmodern style, EDGE's buildings have always been conspicuous for their originality.

Carlough, in person, was affable and enthusiastic with an earnestness leavened with good humor. Bespectacled and modest, he had no need for personal flamboyance.

His buildings, however, always stand out.

In association with Pfaffmann + Associates, EDGE did the new T-Station at Gateway Center, that long and low faceted glass canopy that is the only recent piece of world-class architecture in the city. Two blocks up Liberty Avenue, he did what is called the Lantern Building, the small structure across from Heinz Hall Park that has a translucent skin that glows in soft colors at night.

Retail sales of Filipino fashion brands have dropped by 50 percent in the first quarter this year as big foreign brands with their unlimited resources dominate the domestic fashion sector.

Retail industry leader Samie Lim told reporters that local fashion retailers have failed to match the resources of the huge foreign brands which now occupy premium locations and big spaces in the countrys premier shopping centers.

They get bigger space and better location while our local brands like Penshoppe and Bench are relegated to the second floor, Lim lamented.

Already, local business groups Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Philippine Franchise Association and Philippine Retailers Association are discussing on strategies to help local retailers.

We should be able to help them strategize to compete in this market, he said.

One strategy, Lim said, is for Filipino retailers to establish mini stores or community stores to be able to reach out to a bigger mass market.

Community stores would be the answer to the big outlets of major foreign fashion retailers in the country.

Of late, the Philippines has become a destination by big fashion retailers such as Forever21 and Uniqlo. In August this year, Swedish fashion retail chain H&M is expected to open its first outlet in Megamall.

Earlier, Lim lamented that local retailers have always been at the mercy of their landlords or mall owners making it very difficult for a start-up retail company to open an outlet in a mall.

According to Lim, a mall tenant has to pay 6 to 8 months of rental deposits while others ask for 12 months. They have to post construction bond and payment for common spaces. A simple food cart requires P25,000 monthly rental.

FILE - In this April 22, 2010 file photo, then-Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James talks to teammate Anderson Varejao during the first quarter of Game 3 in the first round of the NBA basketball playoffs against the Chicago Bulls, in Chicago. The wait continues for the next decision. At stake for LeBron James: Where he plays for the next few seasons, and which fan base _ the already-scorned one in Cleveland or the panicked one in Miami _ will undoubtedly feel alienated by whatever choice his latest foray into free agency leads him to make.

CLEVELAND - If LeBron James was going to win another NBA title, heal broken hearts and continue building his legacy, he knew there was only one place to go.

To Ohio. Home.

Four years after he left for Miami, a widely criticized departure that damaged his image and crushed a long-suffering city's championship hopes, James is coming back to play for the Cavaliers to try and end Cleveland's half-century title drought. He's returning to his basketball roots, to the people who know him best, to make good on a promise.

James made the announcement Friday with a powerful essay written for Sports Illustrated. His decision ended two weeks of speculation with the entire league waiting on his move.

When he finally made it, Cleveland was his choice over re-signing with the Heat.

"I looked at other teams, but I wasn't going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland," he said to SI. "The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy."

James had not yet signed a contract, but he made it clear he will wear a Cavaliers jersey next season.
