This Week's Quiz -	
	The permeability of materials to water vapor is measured
	in perms. Materials with higher perm ratings are more
	breathable than those with lower perm ratings. These
	ratings vary by material and density. Materials used as
	vapor barriers have low perm ratings. True or false: a
	material with a perm rating greater than 1 is considered
	a "breathable" material?

Five years ago in ArchitectureWeek:
	Art Life Paris, by Christian Horn
	http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2003/0219/index.html
	Paris has long had a deep relationship with the lives and
	work of its artists. The city has been both home and
	inspiration to some of the greatest artists of the 19th
	and 20th centuries and to thousands more seeking such
	fame. Still, many greats and near-greats spend a lot of
	time searching for affordable working and living spaces.
