It's a "half a loaf" kind of day in Chicago.
As schools reopened Wednesday -- the day after teachers union representatives voted to suspend their eight-day strike -- union leaders, city officials and even students could all claim a few wins and admit a few losses after a bruising battle that had both sides hurling insults like pro wrestlers.
Teachers were happy to secure concessions limiting a school reform program that they said would harm students and cost teachers jobs.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel walked away with a teacher evaluation system and other changes that he says will make educators more accountable.
And there was even an upside for the 350,000 Chicago kids who had to go back to school after an unexpected eight-day holiday.
"It was kind of boring being at home, so I'm kind of glad I'm going back to school so I don't have to have any more baby sitters," South Loop Elementary School student Grace Bauer said.
In all, teachers appear to have come out ahead in a strike that gained nationwide attention, said Robert Bruno, a professor of labor and employment relations at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and director of its Labor Education Program in Chicago.
"Across the board, on every issue, the teachers got a more favorable outcome than the school system," he said Wednesday.
The deal, which still must be ratified by the union's overall membership, calls for an average raise of 17.6% over four years, down from the 30% initially sought by the union.
But it also strips out a merit pay program that would have been tied to increased emphasis on student test scores.
That emphasis remains in the contract -- it's mandated by state law -- but scores will count for a lower percentage of teacher evaluations. The district had wanted scores to count for as much as 45% of evaluations. It will count for no more than 30%, according to the deal.
Teachers also managed to hold the line on health insurance increases, and protect seniority pay increases and raises for additional education that the school system wanted to limit or eliminate.
Union officials also trumpeted victories in giving laid-off teachers better job opportunities than district officials had proposed, more control over their own jobs and protections from intimidation by supervisors..
The union didn't get all it wanted. In addition to the salary compromise, the school day and year will be extended, effectively adding more than two years of instruction time to to the school career of a student who starts next year, Emanuel said.
Teachers also backed off on their insistence that laid-off teachers be given even more consideration for jobs.
"The mayor doesn't walk away empty-handed from this," Bruno said. "He's not a loser ultimately in this."
The contract deal, endorsed Tuesday night by teacher union representatives, is an "honest compromise," Emanuel said after teachers had agreed to return to work.
"This is in the best interest of our students, who need the very best teachers," he said Tuesday. "It is in the best interest of our teachers, who always strive to achieve the best results they can for their students and want to develop as professionals, as every professional does."
Despite Bruno's assessment, Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis was less enthusiastic, calling the deal an "austerity contract" because it includes lesser wage increases.
But Lewis said the strike drew national attention to important issues facing educators, school districts and students.
"I think this has been an opportunity for people across the nation to have their voices heard, and I think we're moving in the right direction," she said.
The city's nearly 30,000 teachers walked out on September 10 when negotiations broke down after months of talks.
At the time, Emanuel, the former White House chief of staff, said city schools must adopt reform measures similar to those championed by his former boss, President Barack Obama.
The president's Race to the Top initiative calls for reforms, increased emphasis on teacher performance and broader emphasis on charter schools, among other things.
Teachers, however, said the school system wanted to attach too much importance to the performance of students, arguing that the behavior of many students in school is beyond the control of educators. They said they also worried about what would happen to teachers who lose their jobs as the district closes underperforming schools, and about plans to close schools and cut programs.

Glendale approves Phoenix Coyotes lease agreement
Glendale officials approved a proposed $320 million deal to keep the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on Tuesday night.
The new deal was passed by a 4-2 vote.
The renegotiated deal would help Glendale lower payments in the early years of the 20-year deal and would save the city $4 million.
Potential owner Greg Jamison and his group of investors can now take the next step in attempting to complete the purchase of the Coyotes. He has expressed an interest in moving quickly to close the deal with the league.
According to the lease agreement, Jamison has until Jan. 31 to complete the sale of the team. During the meeting, he said he was hoping to complete it within the next 30 to 60 days.
The NHL has owned the franchise since 2009.

Bohl said there was 'very limited contact at all' with Wyoming during the week. Here's what Bohl said this morning. Jon Gruden: Mort reports that Gruden will remain with MNF and not return to coaching in 2014. Washington Redskins: There is clearly friction between Mike Shanahan and owner Dan Snyder.

The name I continue to hear AD Pat Chun is very high on is Ohio State co-defensive coordinator / safeties coach / assistant head coach Everett Withers.

Now, according to CBS Sports' Bruce Feldman, Wyoming will indeed name Bohl as its head coach. Texas: ESPN's Joe Schad tweets, "If Mack Brown chooses to retire, I wouldn't say this new deal totally eliminates Texas for Fisher."

Joe Schad reports the deal is 5-years worth $21 million. Texas: Following the loss to Baylor, when asked if he wants to come back next season, Mack Brown declined to answer. Washington: The Idaho Statesman reports that Boise State running backs coach / recruiting coordinator Keith Bhonopha will join the Washington staff.

FAU: The Sun Sentinel suggests to keep an eye on Ohio State co-defensive coordinator / safeties coach Everett Withers, who previously served as the interim head coach at UNC.

Virginia Union: Head coach Michael Bailey is out, according to the Times-Dispatch. Auburn: According to AL.com, Gus Malzahn has agreed to a new six-year contract worth $3.85 million next season, along with a $250,000 increase each year.

USC: USC has officially announced the additions of Peter Sirmon, Keith Heyward, and Johnny Nansen. Old Dominion: James Madison assistant Ulrick Edmonds has accepted the linebackers job at Old Dominion. Michigan: Keep an eye on a developing situation at Michigan. A source tells me movement on the staff is likely, but not necessarily soon. Houston: Head coach Tony Levine has promoted Travis Bush to offensive coordinator. Bush will also shift from running backs to quarterbacks.

Western Michigan: According to MLive.com, P.J. Fleck is not anticipating any staff changes.

Houston Texans: According to Fox 26 in Houston, the Texans will replace special teams coordinator Joe Marciano with assistant special teams coach Bob Ligashesky. Marciano is out. Houston Texans: Potential candidates for the Houston Texans head coaching job include Jon Gruden, former Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith, San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman, Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch, and Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. Boise State: Boise State is going to allow Chris Petersen to move on and not coach the Broncos' during their bowl game. This makes a lot of sense. Houston Texans: Wade Phillips will serve as the interim head coach. Washington: Candidates to join Chris Petersen's staff at UW Houston Texans: Jay Glazier reports that head coach Gary Kubiak is out. Kubiak finished with an overall record of 61-64 as the Texans head coach. Boise State: Chris Petersen is contractually obligated to coach for Boise State in the Broncos' bowl game. Boise State: Do not count out current Boise State assistants Chris Strausser and Bob Gregory for the Boise State head coaching job. Strausser is the offensive line / run game coordinator / associate head coach. Gregory is the linebackers / assistant head coach. Arkansas State: If Harsin lands the Boise State job, it will be interesting to see if Arkansas State targets Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee (30) or Cincinnati offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Eddie Gran, who finished as the runner-up to Harsin. Arkansas State, who would be on their fifth head coach in five years, could also opt for continuity and promote defensive coordinator John Thompson. Boise State: It will be interesting to see if Boise State targets Justin Wilcox or Bryan Harsin. Washington: According to ESPN's Joe Schad, Chris Petersen is expected to be named Washington head coach today. -------------- Washington: Multiple reports say that Washington AD Scott Woodward is interviewing Chris Petersen tonight in Boise. Wake Forest: Star-Press writer Ben Breiner reports that Wake Forest AD Ron Wellman has flown to Detroit, site of the MAC championship game. Bowling Green head coach Dave Clawson is likely on Wellman's radar. Texas: Austin American-Statesman reporter Kirk Bohls tweets, "Attorney/pal Joe Jamail says Mack Brown could decide future after weighing outcome of Baylor game. 'He has not decided.'"
USC: Don't be surprised if Texas A&M tight ends / special teams coordinator Jeff Banks ends up on Sark's staff at USC. Banks coached at UTEP from 2004-2012 before joining Kevin Sumlin's staff in College Station. Washington: According to ESPN's Brett McMurphy, Washington will interview Alabama offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier on Thursday and Boise State head coach Chris Petersen on Friday. Notre Dame: Early list of candidates to fill the open position at Notre Dame Toronto Argonauts: Former Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Tim Burke has accepted the defensive coordinator job with Toronto. James Madison: Keep an eye on Virginia Tech running backs coach Shane Beamer. A source tells me JMU is very high on Beamer, though several coaches are expected to interview within the next 10-12 days. Wake Forest: The Muncie Star Press is reporting that Wake Forest AD Ron Wellman is in Muncie, presumably to interview Pete Lembo. Photo: Colorado proposes practice facility upgrade Ottawa RedBlacks: Calgary Stampeders defensive coordinator Rick Campbell will be named the first head coach in RedBlacks history, according to multiple reports. Boise State: President Bob Kustra has released a statement. From the Idaho Statesman: "We are fully committed to Coach Petersen remaining at Boise State and, as always, intend to do everything in our power to support him as Boise State's football coach."
Power Drive Training: Coaches change jobs. It's a fact of coaching life. Never has a head coach who trains his team with the PowerDrive, and later takes a new job, failed to order a new PowerDrive at his new job. The reason is that he knows firsthand that after only a few days of training with the PowerDrive, players demonstrate better technique at the point of attack. After an off-season, players not only bend at the hip and knees easier but become stronger and more comfortable in the power position. During the season, warming up and conditioning on the PowerDrive reinforces strong hands and good separation. The PowerDrive is as simple as it is revolutionary. It doesn't slide along the turf in a horizontal motion. It rolls, teaching the hands to work in and up, offering tremendous resistance, forcing the hips down, demanding dynamic hand and foot coordination, and self-correcting perfect form.

User Reviews Video Reviews LRE3023SW 4.7 5 86 88 Very easy to use Cleaning is so simple! The product alerts you when preheating is done with music; It is not obnoxious. Really cooks foods evenly. November 17, 2013 All around good product I have several LG products and like this range/oven. It has good features and heats really fast. The really high temps on the range took some getting used to -- I cindered stuff till I actually read the instruction manual and realized that a middle number isn't really a medium heat. Its a beautiful product, but scratches and dents easily. The vents in the front of the door allow liquids to get spilled between the two pieces of glass so that we had to take the door apart to clean the glass. The bottom drawer is not very deep and limits what you can store there. All around it's a good product, but not amazing. November 17, 2013 New purchase still exploring Overall good experience so far. Have only been using less than 30 days and will come to love it once we are more familiar with the range.

Worldly philosopher: The odyssey of Albert Hirschman
Jeremy Adelman of Princeton University talks to Romesh Vaitilingam about his biography of the economist and social scientist Albert Hirschman. They discuss Hirschman's ideas about economic development, 'optimal' crises and what is perhaps his most famous book among economists, "Exit, Voice and Loyalty". Adelman also speculates on what the citation would have said had Hirschman won the Nobel Prize – and explains why we should read Hirschman now. The interview was recorded in London in May 2013.
Finance and the good society: An interview with Nobel laureate Robert Shiller
Robert Shiller of Yale University has just been awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (with Eugene Fama and Lars Peter Hansen). In this interview recorded in May 2012, he talks to Romesh Vaitilingam about his book, 'Finance and the Good Society', which argues that even after the crisis, rather than condemning finance, we need to reclaim it for the common good. They discuss financial innovation, personal morality, the importance of education and the contribution that finance can make to our lives.
The Great Rebalancing: We're all in it together
Michael Pettis talks to Viv Davies about his recent book, "The Great Rebalancing: Trade, Conflict and the Perilous Road Ahead for the World Economy". Pettis explains how China has maintained massive, but unsustainable investment growth by artificially lowering the costs of capital, and how Germany may be endangering the euro by favouring its own development at the expense of its neighbours. Pettis maintains that we are currently undergoing a critical rebalancing of world economies, and that much of the debate about the global crisis has been caught up in 'muddled thinking'. The interview was recorded in London on 12 February 2013.
Against the Consensus: Why conventional theories on the crisis are inadequate
Justin Lin talks to Viv Davies about his new book, 'Against the Consensus: Reflections on the Great Recession'. Lin presents his thoughts on the cause of the crisis and argues that conventional theories provide inadequate solutions, suggesting that the crisis originated in global imbalances arising from the wealth effect of excess liquidity created by US financial deregulation and loose monetary policy.They discuss Lin's recommendation for a Global Marshall Plan and a new supranational global reserve currency. Lin also presents his views on industrial policy.
The Battle of Bretton Woods
Benn Steil of the Council on Foreign Relations talks to Romesh Vaitilingam about his book 'The Battle of Bretton Woods: John Maynard Keynes, Harry Dexter White, and the Making of a New World Order'. They discuss the 'realpolitik' of the 1944 conference and the scheming of the two central characters, as well as lessons for today's efforts to reform the Eurozone and the international monetary system. The interview was recorded in London in April 2013.

From Olympic show jumpers to elegant gaited riders, an array of equestrians will compete at the 2013 Alltech National Horse Show, October 29 – November 3, at the Alltech Arena on the grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park. This year's event will feature a full array of hunter, jumper, and equitation divisions.
The inaugural Alltech National Horse Show in Kentucky was ranked as the number one show in the United States by the North American Riders Group (NARG) and voted Horse Show of the Year by the National Show Hunter Hall of Fame. President Mason Phelps, Jr. said, "We are excited to once again showcase the best our sport has to offer in one of the most beautiful settings in the United States."
The Alltech National Horse Show is America's longest-standing indoor horse show. This is the third year it is being held at the Kentucky Horse Park. Regarded as the proving grounds for equestrian champions, the Alltech National Horse Show opens the ring to a variety of disciplines and classes, including hunt seat divisions, show jumpers and gaited breeds in competition.
This year's show will offer nearly $850,000 in total prize money, including a huge Open Jumper division. The Open Jumpers will feature $500,000 in total prize money, including the $250,000 Alltech Grand Prix. In addition, this year's show has been designated CSI-W 5*, with the Alltech Grand Prix being an all important FEI East Coast League World Cup qualifying event. Highlights of the competition include the Puissance, the Alltech Grand Prix and the ASPCA Alfred Maclay Final.
$100,000 in prize money is up for grabs for the Junior and Amateur Owner Jumpers Division. $175,000 in prize money will be offered in the AA rated Hunter Division. Each of the hunter divisions hosted during the Alltech National Horse Show will offer an incredible $10,000 – $20,000 per division. This year's divisions will include Junior Hunters, Amateur-Owner Hunters, and the High Performance Hunters, Green and Regular Working Hunters and the Conformation Divisions. Each year, the top hunters from around the country are invited to compete during the Alltech National Horse Show.
The Alltech National Horse Show will be part of Alltech's first-ever Kentucky Gathering, a toast to bluegrass traditions and a week-long festival that will also include the Biggest Loser 5K RunWalk, a Halloween Trick-or-Treat night, a Savor Kentucky showcase featuring locally crafted brews and foods, and many other fun-filled activities for the entire family, including shopping venues as well as interactive exhibits. Kentucky Gathering will embrace magnificent horses, unmatched hospitality and a rich culture only found in the Bluegrass state.

The North American Riders Group (NARG) has released its report of the Top 25 Horse Shows of 2012, its third annual report, and three of those shows are held at the Kentucky Horse Park each year - the Alltech National Horse Show, the Kentucky Spring Horse Shows, and the Adequan FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships. The Kentucky Horse Park, once again, hosted more Top 25 shows on the list than any other facility in North America.
"We are proud that the Kentucky Horse Park facilities lend to the success of the three horse shows selected on the NARG Top 25 list," said John Nicholson, executive director of the Kentucky Horse Park. "To be counted among the best facilities on the continent, hosting the best shows in North America, truly validates the hard work of the many people who have served in leadership and support positions at the park over the past 35 years of our development."
The North American Riders Group is an advocacy group, representing the riders, owners and trainers in North America that was formed with the goal of improving the sport of show jumping, and is composed of top horsemen from the United States, Canada and Mexico. In the report of the NARG Top 25 Horse Shows of 2012, the group stated, "This effort, albeit evolving, has created a mirror in which top equestrian events can reflect on what is important to us, how to improve and whether they truly seek to be a Top 25 event. And this year is proof that those who aspire to be great are willing to look, listen and improve."
The Alltech National Horse Show, which showed at the Kentucky Horse Park in October 2012 in just its second year in Kentucky, is second for any American horse show, and achieved an overall rating of fourth among all horse shows in North America on the NARG list. Known as America's oldest indoor horse show, the National Horse Show originally started in Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1883 and eventually moved to Lexington in 2011.
According to the NARG report, "With all the ingredients of a fabulous equestrian event, a perfect score is within reach for The Alltech National Horse Show. First and foremost, the show has one of the sport's top sponsors in its title." The report indicated that the location in the Kentucky Horse Park's Alltech Arena gave the event "the ability to host a tremendous indoor affair within its walls – from show jumping to shopping to fine dining and fabulous parties."
The report continued, "The prize money offered is the best of any indoor show in North America. Excellent footing and top course design mixed with a solid turnout of international competitors resulted in great sport."
The Alltech National Horse Show awarded more than $600,000 in prize money in 2012. The third edition of the Alltech Nationals will take place Oct. 29-Nov. 3, 2013, in the Alltech Arena.
Earning an overall ranking of eight on the NARG report, up five spots from 2011, the Kentucky Spring Horse Shows is a series of hunter jumper shows held back-to-back for two weeks in May. The Kentucky Spring Horse Show and the Kentucky Spring Classic have been held at the park for more than 20 years, and utilize the park's Rolex Stadium, Covered Arena, Hunter Jumper Complex and other facilities.
According to the NARG report, "The Kentucky Spring Shows continue to climb up in the ranks. Scoring just below 70 two years ago, improvements made last year earned a 74. Raising the bar in 2012 resulted in an 83 and the eighth spot." The report explained that the show took on the responsibility of becoming an Olympic Observation Event and secured a higher competition rating, a CSI3*, which increased the show's importance and expenses.
The report continued, "The effort to entertain as well as produce great sport did not go unnoticed. The evenings began with exhibitions and the course was beautifully designed with recognizable WEG (World Equestrian Games) jumps and also new custom-built jumps for this event. Other noticeable improvements included a conveniently located food facility by the Rolex Stadium in-gate and improved FEI (International Equestrian Federation) stabling with a large grazing area."
The Kentucky Spring Horse Show will be held May 8-12, 2013 and the Kentucky Spring Classic will be held May 15-19, 2013. Produced by the same management group, the Kentucky Summer Horse Show will be held July 24-28, 2013 and the Kentucky Summer Classic will be held July 31-Aug. 4, 2013.
With an overall ranking of 18 on the NARG report, the Adequan FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships (NAJYRC) is a relatively new event the park was able to attract and accommodate because of the Alltech Arena and Rolex Stadium. Held at the park since 2009, NAJYRC is the highest level competition for qualified young riders in North America to compete in the FEI disciplines of Show Jumping, Dressage, Eventing and Reining in a challenging Nations Cup format.
According to the NARG report, "The Kentucky Horse Park sits on 1,200 acres, with multiple arenas, a world-class cross country course and fantastic footing. The best attribute of this championship event, and the main reason it earns a good score, is the world-class venue, specifically the Rolex Arena. The courses are challenging and the jumps beautiful. Aside from some hot summer weather, it is a magnificent setting."
The next Adequan FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships will be held July 17-21, 2013, and will utilize the Alltech Arena, Rolex Stadium, Covered Arena, Hunter Jumper Complex, Walnut Ring and other facilities.
The North American Riders Group developed the Top 25 ranking system to establish a clear measure of excellence among North America's horse shows so as to evaluate them fairly so that they could be considered world class. According to the report, "From the sport perspective, NARG aims to have Global Champions, Olympic Gold Medalists, Nations Cup victories and more winners of FEI World Cup Finals. Our continent needs to support these goals by offering world class events where riders from the United States, Canada and Mexico can achieve results through top notch competition, course design and prize money in well-groomed arenas and fields."
A copy of the full Top 25 Horse Shows of 2012 report is available at www.NARG.org.

Great looks and big bottom tone.
The Dean Exotica Quilted Ash Bass has beauty that's more than skin deep. It goes all the way to the tone, with help from built-in Aphex Big Bottom circuitry.
While the ash body and top deliver a crisp low end and the mahogany neck offers stability and responsiveness, there's more going on inside.
Proven Aphex Big Bottom circuitry shapes the input from the piezo pickup to tighten bass articulation and extend low frequencies without the need for more amps or speakers. The result is a deeper, more resonant bass sound.
Case sold separately.
This acoustic bass has it all. Make it yours today.

F-Stop Magazine: How did you first become involved in photography and what led to you working in this medium as an artist?
Erv Schroeder: My father loved photography. He photographed the landscape and my mother and me. Hanging in his darkroom were blue ribbons he had won at the county fair. I am an example of the next generation building on the foundation of the previous. Photography has always been a part of my life.
F-Stop: What led to making the "Stone Series"?
Erv Schroeder: In the flow of my life, it was just time for me to make these photographs. "… Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen." — Minor White
F-Stop: Can you discuss your process for making these images?
Erv Schroeder: My process is two fold. First there is the discovery component. This consists of going to a place like Canyonlands National Park and hiking around until I find something that attracts me. This part of the process is totally chance governed; I feel it is akin to the Surrealists idea of automatic writing. It is the purist form of "I will know it when I see it."
Second is the equipment and technique. All of the images were made with black-and-white infrared film. I had been using Kodak Infrared film since undergrad school. However, due to the demise of Kodak, I needed a film substitute that closely matched the Kodak look. I switched to Efke Infrared film, but now that is gone as well. Because the Efke film was so slow, I was forced to use a tripod. This changed the way I looked at things, reminding me of my view camera days. Because I couldn't change film in the field, I used three Nikon F2 bodies and a Nikon D200 digital camera to check the composition. I schlepped all of this equipment in a backpack/camera bag plus the tripod around the desert. Occasionally my girlfriend would also ask me to carry a couple gallons of her water. Of course, I could not refuse. Just call me Sherpa.
The film is processed, scanned and the images are retouched in Photoshop. By retouch I mean digital spotting. There is no image manipulation such as compositing done with Photoshop. Then they are printed with an Epson printer.
F-Stop: What do you hope people see or feel or perhaps learn when they look at your photographs?
Erv Schroeder: It is my belief that art can be contemplative, transformative and transcendent and I hope that viewers of my work will have those kinds of experiences. I also hope that the viewer feels the power of Nature.
F-Stop Magazine: Do you have a favorite image in this series? If so, which one and why is it the image that speaks to you most?
Erv Schroeder: For me it is which one most faithfully represents what I see in my mind's eye. That image is Dream Traveler. I do not want analyze or demystify the photograph by telling the viewer how to think about it. There are about a dozen photographs, including this one; that I feel I have waited my whole life to make. When I found this place in the Petrified Forest, I knew it was one of those milestone moments—the convergence of my vision and pure luck.
F-Stop Magazine: What are you working on now?
Erv Schroeder: I am working on a couple of related items. The University of New Mexico Press is publishing a book of my Stone Series photographs. The title will be The Memory of Stone and it will be available in late fall of 2014. When I started working the book in 2010, I wanted a book that would provide the reader with a representation of the physical and cultural landscape of the Four Corners. I assembled a book that contains my photographs along with some interesting essays about the landscape and some wonderful poems and prose by Diné (Navajo) and Pueblo writers. In conjunction with the publication of the book, I am working on arranging exhibitions of the photographs.
F-Stop Magazine: What photographers or other artists inspire you?
Erv Schroeder: Photographers are:
Minor White – his work is about transformation and transcendence. I never tire of looking at them.
Timothy O'Sullivan – although best known for his Civil War photographs, I am most interested in the work he did as the photographer for the United States Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel and other expeditions in the West. I love the way he composed his images, showing the beauty and grandeur of an unspoiled land.
Francis Frith – photographed in Egypt and the Middle East during the late 1800s. His photographs capture the monumentality and timelessness of subjects like the Sphinx, almost buried in the sand; and the Pyramids.
The Surrealist painter, Yves Tanguy, is perhaps the strongest influence on my work. I am fascinated by the strange, some say aquatic environment he created that are occupied by strange, anthropomorphic shapes.
The common thread through all of their work is its contemplative, transformative and transcendent nature.
Minor White, Timothy O'Sullivan, Francis Frith and Yves Tanguy
F-Stop Magazine: What is the best career advice you have ever received?
Erv Schroeder: The best advice I received was never spoken but learned from example. In undergrad school, in addition to photography, I also studied ceramics, as a sculptural media. Paul S. Donhauser Ph.D., was the ceramics professor. During this time Paul was between kidney transplants. You could see how his health was deteriorating while he waited for a kidney to become available. Through it all, he kept teaching and working on his sculptures. He was driven by an inner strength and the indomitable power of his own determination. I watched him develop his ideas. You could see this evolution taking place from one body of work to the next. He was incredibly prolific and a perfectionist. In addition to the clay pieces, he also painted and wrote a book on the history of ceramics. He never said much about mortality, but one time, out of the blue, he did tell me that he had looked death in the face so many times; that he really did not care what anyone thought of him or his work—he knew what he had to do.
From his example I learned self-motivation, determination, the importance of a personal vision and also the nurturing of it over time. I learned about living as an artist from him
A contemporary of Martin Parr, Paul Reas is part of the pioneering generation of photographers who revealed and critiqued British class and culture in the 1980s and 90s. Strongly influenced by his working class upbringing in Bradford, Reas used humour and sharp observation to comment on a new corporate and commercial world epitomised by heritage industry sites, retail parks, and supermarkets.

On Sunday, the couple will marry onstage before the Seattle Men's Chorus and Seattle Women's Chorus at Benaroya Hall, home to the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.
Two men who have been together for 23 years will also marry onstage, the two women said.
When Petersen and Lighty tie the knot, the Women's Chorus will be singing from "One Hand, One Heart" from "West Side Story."
As they approach the 36-year mark of being a couple, Petersen observed: "We're just blessed with the people we've met and the opportunities we've had."

It was VERY clean, the bathroom and the shower cabin were pleasant and in great condition. The bed could be better, especially the bed sets. However,... the hotel is close to the ferry (across the street) from the ferry to Isla Mujeres, where you can have a lot of fun! There are actually two ferry stations to Isla Mujeres, another one is few blocks away (a walking distance), and the prices are 70-80 pesos one-way for 1 person (1$= 11.6 pesos). Lovely! Isla Mujeres is a Paradise. The location would be inconvenient for those, who are looking for restaurants, clubs and amusements- it is not a good choice then. The taxi to the hotel zone was from 70 to 130 pesos, and DON'T give the taxi drivers more- negotiate, and please, don't spoil them. Yes, it is normal to bargain in Mexico. Microbuses would take you to the city, and they are very cheap, from 8 to 20 pesos for a trip. Big buses are the same price, very convenient. We even took the bus to Playa de Carmen from the central station in the city (ask the hotel representative). I loved the transportation in Cancun! Again, if you are a DIVA or a Mr. Universe, it is not a hotel for you; though, it is a great money saver, and it is very clean. The air conditioning worked perfectly, the hot/cold water was absolutely fine, the beach is across the street, but it's not the best one.No restaurants around after 9pm, be advised. Take a taxi and go to downtown or just buy smt "to-go" before 9. Enjoy the deal, guys. Sett inn af Valerie frá San Diego frá 06.08.2013

Hypertension is a substantial and growing global health problem, affecting 972 million people worldwide, according to a study published in the journal Lancet. Despite focused efforts and the introduction of multiple new therapies, a significant portion of hypertension patients lack blood pressure control. Research suggests that 28 percent of treated hypertensive individuals are considered resistant to treatment, the American Heart Association says. Treatment-resistant hypertension (rHTN) is an especially dangerous chronic disease because of its association with increased cardiovascular risk, including stroke and heart attack. Results from a large, international survey on rHTN found that the condition takes a significant toll on a person's quality of life, both physically and emotionally. Below are facts and figures about the far-reaching impact of rHTN.

10 fastest cars of 2011
There's no real need for a production car to go over 200 mph. Few public roads in the world allow that kind of speed, whether legally or physically. But a few automakers continually push the boundaries of speed, for the same reasons that mountain climbers scale the highest peaks.
The fastest production cars hit well over 200 mph, using big displacement or near-racing engines to achieve these speeds. Of course, all of these cars are ridiculously expensive, but the varieties of design will come as a surprise.
We've assembled photos and specifications for the current crop of fastest … Read more

North America includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Gotham City.
The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.
The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III.
From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.
With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities. Expect massive leaps in creative output in your area!

Mazxy star was nice and dreamy robightm crowd wouldn't follow no photo request. First time in the green room. Mmm free beer and wine.glad I got to see them Cruz I missed Coachella 3012
wow, did you all misinterpret the title to mean "the last song is a good song", or do you all really think your choices are the actual best song on the album? because if its the latter, a lot of you suck.
i guess i should also pick one now so you can criticize me too:
GnR - Appetite for Destruction
Let's go on a livin' spree!
Interesting choice. Fantastic song.
I'm torn but feel this way as well, although some of the early tracks are absolute monsters that I enjoy listening to more (Zodiac Shit, Computer Face, etc.), but I don't know if I could call them the best. The whole album is pretty retardedly sweet.
Closed my wedding reception with this. Spoiled it a little bit for me, but probably the best answer on this thread.
I'm going to go with...
Ramones-Ramones: Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World
Pet Shop Boys-Behavior: Jealousy
1/24 - Wooden Shjips - Echo
1/25 - Darkside - Fonda (?)
1/28 - Mutual Benefit - Eagle Rock (?)
2/13 - Failure - El Rey (?)
2/14 - Spiritualized - Ace
last.fm, if you care
Twitter, if you dare
There are some splendid selections in this thread. Here's some more...
Talking Heads - "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" from Speaking in Tongues: This is an inferior shortened single version, though it's still great - probably my favorite album closer)
The Stone Roses - "I Am the Resurrection" from The Stone Roses
Blur - "Battery in Your Leg" from Think Tank
Syd Barrett - "Late Night" from The Madcap Laughs
The Horrors - "Sea Within a Sea" from Primary Colours

Pro-Ignorance Views Spell Trouble for Hill, GOP
Rick Hill's pro-ignorance positions and votes on education spell trouble not just for his own chances but for other Republicans. The problem hasn't gone unnoticed by GOP supporters.
When the GOP candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction shared her stump speech on Facebook (pictured), a commenter immediately expressed concern that Hill's views on education were so backward they would not only tank his own election but could harm the GOP's other candidates as well.
One look at Hill's record makes it clear why Hill's views are a liability. In Congress, Hill backed abolishing the Department of Education altogether. Hill's position was later taken up by renowned intellect Rick Perry, to the delight of Saturday Night Live fans across the U.S.:
The third agency of government I would do away with — the Education, the Commerce. And let's see. I can't. The third one, I can't. Oops.
Hill opposed making college more affordable. He voted in Congress to support drastic cuts in education funding. [ Roll Call 210. June 5, 1998. Roll Call 273. June 14, 2000.]
In his campaign for Governor, Hill's launched what can only be described as a war on teachers. He's on the record in support of letting teachers be fired without cause and "deregulating" education–eliminating the accountability and the standards that make sure kids get safe, quality public school classrooms.
He even supports using your tax dollars on subsidies for the wealthy and fundamentalists who send their kids to private and religious schools. Our tax dollars shouldn't go to schools that aren't required to abide by state standards for quality. Nor should public funds be used on schools that discriminate in which students they accept or teach religious and right-wing political doctrine as if it were scientific fact. With public dollars flowing away from public schools and into this nonsense, the kids of many hardworking Montanans would be left behind in underfunded schools. The rich would enjoy spending their subsidies on Hawaiian vacations, and the right-wingers could be sure their kids were being taught how to bring dead people back to life.
To be sure, the GOP's own candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction doesn't seem to be coming up with compelling reasons to vote for her. She was caught on video at the GOP convention admitting that students in MT are doing well under Democratic Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau and Democratic Governor Brian Schweitzer. In the very speech I mentioned above, Sandy Welch, the GOP's candidate for OPI, even supports continuing Supt. Juneau's work on the popular Graduation Matters Montana initiative. She also expressed support for Juneau's Montana Digital Academy, which allows students to take additional or advance placement classes online and remotely via live video.
Here's a clip of the speech:
After being forced to admit that things are going well under Juneau's watch, it seems the only thing Welch has to add is a defense of the Montana Republican Party's lack of women candidates. Sandy Welch insisted the MT GOP has nothing to be ashamed of because…wait for it…Jeanette Rankin and Judy Martz were Republicans. Never mind the fact that the GOP was so different back then that Rankin's views would make her a Democrat today. Or that Judy Martz, who had no college degree herself, poo-pooed education and became the most unpopular Governor in Montana history. As Welch invoked the sacred name of Judy Martz, loud cheers erupted from the crowd of GOP faithful.
To build a stronger economy and attract more good-paying jobs in Montana, we need to make sure all of our children have the education and skills to compete. By this standard, neither Hill nor Welch make the cut.

"We gladly feast on those who would subdue us."
I have a new book! It is called THE SUMMER IS ENDED AND WE ARE NOT YET SAVED. Here is the synopsis:
Martin is going to Bible Camp for the summer. He's going to learn archery and swimming, and he's going to make new friends. He's pretty excited, but that's probably because nobody told him that this is a horror novel!
And this is what Booklist said in their review:
Lean and mean and hugely entertaining, with no high-falutin literary pretensesnote to fans of slasher flicks: yes, the villain is exactly who you think it isbut with a genuinely shocking conclusion, the book should be a big hit with old-school horror fans. - Booklist
I am very excited that this book is coming out! You can buy it here.

Patent pending
Label given to a claimed invention while the Patent and Trademark Office examines the patent application. No protection from infringement exists until a patent is granted, but this label may be used to notify customers and competitors that a patent is being sought. This phrase (or something similar) should only be used if a patent application has actually been filed. A monetary penalty exists for false marking. See 35 U.S.C. § 292.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The status of an invention between the time when:a utility patent application has been filed and when it is issued or rejected, or the time between when a provisional patent application has been submitted and when a subsequent patent application is issued or rejected. Inventors mark their devices patent pending in order to place others on notice that they claim priority. Patent pending status does not bestow any legal right to stop copying.
