Stephen Cassell, principal at Architecture Research Office and lead architect of Asha and Farid Virani Hall, joins Maya Pomroy '22 for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Rice Business' incredible new 112,000-square-foot home.Stephen shares the decisions, constraints and unexpected opportunities that shaped Virani Hall — from protecting the artistic vision behind James Turrell's “Twilight Epiphany” Skyspace to reinterpreting McNair Hall's distinctive brickwork and creating spaces designed to bring undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and the wider Rice community together. In this conversation, Stephen talks about designing spaces that encourage people to linger, connect and cross paths — from sculptural staircases and gathering spaces to Audrey's and the West Quad. He also talks about designing for a future no one can fully predict, building flexibility into classrooms and gathering spaces that will evolve with the school's needs.The result is a building that looks forward without losing sight of where Rice came from. Stephen also reflects on what it means to see students finally inhabit a place that, for four years, existed largely as an idea. More About Asha and Farid Virani HallLocated next to McNair Hall, Asha and Farid Virani Hall offers an additional 112,000 square feet for graduate and undergraduate business education at Rice Business. Skanska, one of the world's largest project development and construction companies, and Sugar Land-based B. Bell Builders broke ground on the building in May 2024. Architecture Research Office led the design, with Houston-based Kirksey Architecture serving as executive architect. The facility was completed in 2026 and named in recognition of the generosity from Asha Virani '89 and Farid Virani, Houston community and business leaders who helped establish the Virani Undergraduate School of Business in 2024. This impressive structure was built to accommodate the evolving needs of our community and our unprecedented growth — and features state-of-the-art classrooms, modern office spaces and vibrant amenities such as dining areas, open gathering spaces and facilities for private events.Virani Hall was made possible by the generosity of many.

And that basic idea for the building is they nest against each other, but they pull apart a little bit. And then where they pull apart, that's where those triple-height spaces are. And that was the opportunity. It was like, oh, we can use the character of the existing building to really shape those spaces and have the modern and the new architecture on the inside in dialogue with the old. And in some ways that's a metaphor of really also talking about how the building speaks to the future of Rice Business, but really does tie in to the, sort of, amazing past of Rice, right? And all this, learned knowledge that comes with the university.Turning limitations into innovations12:43: Sometimes that narrow band of materials that we have is, like, it could seem limiting, but it actually allows for invention and experimentation. How do you do something that feels new, because there was real discussion that the building should really speak to the future of Rice Business but connects to the historic campus? And if you look carefully at the brickwork on the outside, in addition to using the bricks... This is me nerding out a little bit for architecture, the joints between the bricks are very thick. They're almost an inch, which is very unusual. You don't see that anywhere else, except Rice. And so it gives a very distinct coloration and feel and warmth to the brickwork at, all of the buildings on campus.On designing spaces that brings people together08:23: One of the things that was really missing is the informal spaces of interaction of different scales, and that's really important for the life of a school and really important for a business school. Because people make connections. It might just be two people sitting informally having a conversation, or running into a professor, or sort of larger events, and the school needed to support that. It was really missing that space. So, we did some analysis, like, "Listen, you need these classrooms, and you need these offices and things, but I think you really need a lot more of the, sort of, informal gathering spaces of different scales that support the life of the school and support the interaction between the business community that comes in and all these different events that Rice Business has to engage with your students."Show Links: Asha and Farid Virani Hall | Rice BusinessRice University Jones School of Business | ARO

On December 10, 2003, the Whitaker family sat down for what they thought was a graduation dinner. By the time they got home, a masked gunman was waiting inside their house — and two of them wouldn't survive the night. On the surface, it looked like a burglary interrupted. But within days, investigators discovered that the "victim" sitting in the back seat, 24-year-old Bart Whitaker, had actually orchestrated the entire attack — and that this wasn't even his first attempt. In this episode, we dig into the disturbing timeline of the Whitaker family murders in Sugar Land, Texas: the failed 2000 plot involving a Baylor roommate, the aborted 2001 murder-for-hire scheme that a former classmate walked into a police station to confess, and the final, successful conspiracy that took the lives of Bart's mother, Tricia, and his 19-year-old brother, Kevin. We trace Bart's troubled teenage years — including a string of school burglaries at 17 — through the recruitment of at least four separate accomplices, the frantic days-long investigation that unraveled his lies about college, his years as a fugitive in Mexico, and the courtroom battle over what actually drove him to try to erase his own family, not once, but repeatedly. We also spend real time on what happened after the conviction: Kent Whitaker, the father who survived being shot in his own family's ambush, publicly forgiving his son and spending over a decade fighting to keep him off death row — a fight that came down to the final 40 minutes before a scheduled execution. It's a case that asks hard questions about motive, memory, and what forgiveness can look like when the person you're forgiving is the one who took almost everything from you.

This is the hardest week of Norense's year.One year ago, he lost his sister. And in a few days, he'll stand at her memorial and deliver a video he's been carrying the weight of building — a tribute to a woman who beat stage three breast cancer, stood at a family reunion with tears streaming down her face, and pointed every ounce of her healing back to God.Recorded audio-only from a rainy apartment in Brooklyn, this episode wasn't scripted. It was necessary.Norense walks through the last day he spent with his sister — the peace he felt walking out of a Sugar Land hotel with his family, not knowing it was the peak before the worst moment of his life, and the accidental run-in at a gas station that became the last hug, the last conversation, the last moment he'd ever share with her.But this isn't a sorrow message. It's a surrender message. Norense unpacks why expression alone isn't healing, why suppressing your story hands power to the enemy, and why the same man who once ran to performance, women, and money to escape his pain found something none of it could offer: a hope that held when everything else was stripped away.In this episode:Why expressing what you've been through is proof the enemy doesn't have you — and where most people stop short of actual healingThe difference between "wisdom" and fear dressed up as wisdom when it comes to sharing your storyNorense's raw account of the last day with his sister — and the gas station goodbye he didn't know was goodbyeWhy losing loved ones in college led to suicidal ideation, but losing his sister this year didn't — and the one variable that changed everythingHow vices — sex, alcohol, drugs, workaholism, performance — are counterfeit nutrients for a craving only God can satisfyThe difference between being pure in heart and perfect in heart — and why purity is a journey of surrender, not a finish lineWhy living below your privilege as a child of God keeps you trapped — and how to walk in the authority you've already been givenKey Truth: "When you're tired of running — when the drink wears off and the high fades — instead of pausing and running the other direction, we try to intensify. But more was never going to satisfy what only surrender can."Key Verse: Matthew 5:8 — Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.⚠️ A note: This episode touches on grief, loss, and suicidal ideation.

Many Christian parents want to talk to their kids about sex and sexuality in healthy, biblical ways, but feel unsure where to begin. In today's episode, Kelly Edmiston talks about how to move away from fear, silence, and shame-based messaging and instead help our kids understand the goodness of their bodies, God's design for sex, and the importance of open, ongoing conversations in the home.We discuss how purity culture shaped many parents' own experiences, why discipleship matters so much in these conversations, and how parents can build trust with their kids while still holding biblical convictions. We also talk about practical ways to make sex talks feel more natural and less intimidating for both parents and children.Notes: use your discretion when it comes to listening to this conversation with your kids present, we do use accurate terminology for body parts and sexuality.Kelly is the author of Shame-Free Sex Talks, is lead Pastor at Vineyard Church in Sugar Land, Texas and a mom of three kids. (00:00) Introduction to the Conversation(02:57) Navigating Sexuality Conversations with Kids(05:59) Understanding Shame in Sexuality Discussions(08:49) The Importance of Normalizing Conversations(11:55) Spiritual Sexuality: Integrating Faith and Sexuality(15:08) Values-Based Approach to Sexuality Education(18:04) Empowering Kids to Make Healthy Decisions(21:00) Hope for Future Generations(24:05 )Resources for ParentsResources MentionedThe Adventure BibleSubstackPrefer video?

As I struggle with a bad seasonal allergy assault, I bring you the review of this week's AEW Dynamite from Sugar Land, TX!

Disaster Declaration issued for southeast TX because of our multi-day rain eventGalaxy All Abilities Park is meant to be even more accessible to everyoneWhat's the thing you always do with your Dad on Father's Day?

On this episode we have on musician Annie Clements.  You might know her from her time playing bass with Marren Morris, Sugarland, Jason Isbell, and The Highwomen to name a few.  We talked about how he family moved to Big Sky Montana, playing with Tuesday Night Radio Club, loving life out west and being outside more, when you can't lose your voice because part of your job is singing but you've got to parent, her love of Harry Potter, reading books for Tonies for when she's on the road, how her and her husband manage her time on the road, and stories from life with 2 kids. Annie is a world class musician and bass player.  And being able to talk to her about being  a mom and wife more than her day job was is really appreciated.  I really loved hearing  how much the little moments of life mean to her and loving the phase of motherhood that she's in.  Send us Fan MailFollow us on Facebook and Instagram and TikTok YouTube.

We're gonna need a bigger pod! Logan & Andy team up with local oceanographer-in-training Matt Hurt (The Obsessive Viewer) to talk about THE RISE OF SPIELBERG. In honor of acclaimed director Steven Spielberg's latest release, Disclosure Day, the trio discuss his first television film, Duel (1971); his first theatrical film, The Sugarland Express (1974); and his (the) first blockbuster, 1975's Jaws. How does his first film hold up over 50 years later? How did he evolve as a director in Sugarland? And how can one director make a tanker truck, a shark, and Goldie Hawn's unbridled screams all feel so similarly monstrous? Find out on this frenzied new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!  Intro music: “Fanfare for Space” by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3736-fanfare-for-space License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Destination 2026, Houston's Countdown to the Cup! Hosted by Glenn Davis! Glenn discusses the 2026 World Cup and is joined by Spanish Commentator Jorge Ramos, and Visit Sugarland!

What's up y'all, Steven Spielberg is in the house with our new month of Steven Stinkers! These are all the movies that the most prolific man in Hollywood made that made the least amount of money. We're starting with the lowest one first, Sugarland Express. To be fair, at this point he wasn't a household name yet, so we can see why it didn't make a lot of money. But quality wise, a "true" story about love and crime starring Goldie Hawn has to at least be entertaining to watch right?Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

She founded Sisters Breaking the Bonds of Sugar to raise awareness about sugar among Black Americans.Shun also serves as a sugar mentor for those who struggle with sugar, food, or carbohydrate addiction.

We're taking a look at some early Spielberg films. First up, we talk about what was supposed to be a pilot for a TV series but ends up just being a boring TV movie with SAVAGE. Then, we go on a multistate chase with a couple of convicts in THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS.

On the night a Texas family gathers to celebrate their son's college “graduation,” the party ends in a staged ambush that leaves two of them dead and the survivors bleeding on the floor. As detectives begin pulling at the loose threads, the case becomes a brutal test of one father's faith—forcing him to decide whether he can forgive the man who tried to have him killed.   Follow Crime Scene wherever you listen to get new episodes every week between our monthly drops.   Listen ad-free and unlock 60+ true crime series with The Binge+: Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Patreon, or at GetTheBinge.com   Watch on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@TheBingeTrueCrime   Get our free true-crime newsletter: Patreon.com/TheBinge   Follow Crime Scene: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebingecrimescene/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebingecrimescene   Learn more about your ad choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.
