Shares of asset manager Invesco (IVZ) were up more than 6% Tuesday after the firm reported better-than-expected first-quarter results.
Invesco wasn't the only firm that had a good quarter, with Franklin Resources (BEN) and Affiliated Managers Group (AMG) also beating Wall Street estimates.
In late trades, AMG was up 2% while Franklin was down a fraction.
As Reuters reports, the stock market's recent good performance is a boon to money managers:
With the Standard & Poor's 500 Index setting records, many investors who sat on the sidelines for the past few years have been jumping back into the stock market. That has buoyed the fund industry, which historically has made more money when stocks are in vogue.
Then again, it's not quite as clear cut as all that:
At Invesco, customers added a net $2.4 billion to equity funds, a reversal from the fourth quarter of 2012 when they pulled $3.3 billion. Still, the firm's bond funds attracted $5 billion in the first quarter, up from $3.4 billion in the prior quarter.
"I would classify it (as the) early stages of the rotation into equities," [CEO Martin] Flanagan said on a call with analysts. "I would expect people to continue to be cautious throughout the summer."
Legg Mason (LM) also reported today. The firm has been plagued with outflows for years, and reported a drop in profit for the latest quarter. But the stock was up 1.5% Tuesday, as earnings beat estimates, and net outflows lessened. As CEO Joseph Sullivan said:
"Now to be sure less negative is still negative," CEO Sullivan said on a conference call with analysts. "However the improvement in net flows is meaningful and encouraging.

Focus on Funds
It's a Turkey, So the Rocky Ride Continues
As it turns out, a bold move by Turkey's central bank isn't enough. A surge in the Turkish lira following the country's aggressive interest-rate increase has come apart this morning. We can surmise more are of the opinion: Hey, a giant interest-rate increase probably isn't good news for Turkey, or of the rest of us, after all.
Here's how Michael Shaoul of Marketfield Asset Management puts it this morning:
Turkey would appear to [have] received the worst of both worlds. Local economic activity can be expect to be constrained by the massive monetary tightening while foreign investors are hardly likely to be enticed by increased yields given the volatility and downside potential of the currency. The local crisis would seem to have room to run, and the question for global investors is the degree of international contagion that can be anticipated from Turkey's woes.
The spike in Asian markets and "risk" assets overnight looks to be short-lived, at least as long as traders fear trouble in emerging-markets currencies for just the possibility Shaoul mentions -- contagion.
Japan's Nikkei 225 finished overnight with a 2.7% jump but iShares MSCI Japan ETF (EWJ) is moving in the other direction, falling 0.6%.
The big U.S. stock ETFs are pointing lower by close to 1% in early trading, while SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is ahead by 1%. The leveraged bearish trading tool ProShares Ultra VIX Short- Term Futures exchange-traded fund (UVXY) is up 10%

Emerging Eldershonouring senior Indigenous artists
3 October 2009 – 14 June 2010 | Project GalleryEvents | Highlights | Listing
Ningura Napurrula Untitled 2006
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
Purchased 2009

Within the arts, when we think of 'emerging', we think of 'youth'. The two seem almost synonymous. However, in Indigenous Australian arts, beginning a career in painting or sculpture later in life is neither new nor uncommon. Quite the contrary is true: it is practically the norm for many Indigenous Australian artists living in remote or regional areas to start painting or sculpting after a lifetime of other endeavours.
Emily Kam Kngwarreye, Albert Namatjira and Rover Thomas are just some of the many famous Aboriginal people whose works have had a significant impact on the artists' own communities as well as a huge cultural and aesthetic impact on the arts nationally and internationally. The recent explosion of diverse styles, designs and various depictions of ancestral stories has further enriched non-Indigenous peoples' understanding of and exposure to Indigenous culture. This can be seen through the significant rise in interest in Indigenous art in the commercial market.
The artists featured in Emerging Elders are self-taught and have only recently, over the last decade, created and consistently shown their work throughout Australia. Although considered emerging artists, years of personal experience and cultural knowledge inform their work. Their ability to visualise significant stories gives rise to some of Australia's most dynamic and stunning contemporary works of art.
This year's National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) theme of 'Honouring our Elders, nurturing our youth' has inspired this exhibition. Elders perform a vital and honoured role in Indigenous society. They are admired and respected as keepers and enforcers of law, stories and culture. They guide communities today as they have done for generations. Because of their cultural knowledge, wisdom and strength, Indigenous culture is as strong and diverse today as it has been in the past. Art is intertwined with the economic, social, political and spiritual aspects of Indigenous life, and allows the ongoing transferral, maintenance and reinforcement of cultural knowledge.
There are many factors that determine the status of Elder. Traditionally, this status was bestowed on an individual after years of participating in ceremonies, maintaining important cultural protocols and abiding by and respecting instructions from senior members and other Elders within the community. This lifelong journey prepares them to lead their communities. For some, it is only when social demands diminish that they have time to further explore or produce their art. Not only does making art provide an economic benefit to their communities but it also allows for invaluable social interaction. The singing, storytelling and performance that often accompany the making of a work are also useful ways to teach and share knowledge with younger artists.
In many communities, only certain individuals or families receive the right or authority to paint particular designs and stories passed down through the generations—and usually only after an artist has served an 'apprenticeship' or long periods of tuition with senior artists. Individual and collective histories are often reflected in Indigenous art, whether in the retelling of cultural stories about law and ancestral creations or in the abstract and literal depictions of country. This gradual transfer of cultural knowledge reinforces the power and integrity of the stories depicted in Indigenous art. Unfortunately, the life expectancy of Aboriginal people living in remote area is far shorter than that of non-Indigenous Australians, which also means that many artists' careers are often short-lived.
The works in Emerging Elders are bold and contrasting and they illuminate the individual artists' culture and individuality. The Gallery recognises the important role Indigenous Elders play in our society and their valuable contribution to the arts, and is honoured to showcase the many diverse but complementary Indigenous works in the national collection. These important works of art will no doubt engage audiences on many different levels.

Not sure if he reads RTF, but a BIG congrats to Ronnie West of DE and King Simba of Hope Springs. Very proud breeder Simba is one of our favorites because he looks so much like his dam that I lost a year after his litter. And of course because he's Panda's litter brother and I still have his dad and his grandma Puffin. Simba was Ronnie's first retriever to train and he's done the training on Simba himself. Here's a baby pic., Simba is the lil brown guy with the goofy ear.

Dear Marygrove Alumni and Friends,
This is the October 2011 issue of Marygrove Minute -- Marygrove College's way of keeping you up-to-date on the College's news and events. Marygrove Minute is meant to supplement The Tower Times, our alumni print publication, which is published three times annually.
Marygrove Minute is a collaborative effort between Marygrove's Alumni Relations and Communications and Marketing departments. We hope you enjoy it!
Join us for an engaging perspective from two speakers —Kiva donor and a Kiva recipient. Detroit is the first Kiva City in the United States, a program where Kiva works with community organizations to provide microloans to small businesses. Kiva Detroit is the product of a partnership between Michigan Corps, ACCION USA, Knight Foundation and Kiva International.
co-chair of the Kiva Detroit Board became involved with Kiva while he was a professor at the University of Michigan. An entrepreneur, a pastor, and former elected political official, he also serves on the Knight Foundation Advisory Board.
co-chair of Kiva Detroit, is an inaugural recipient of a Kiva Detroit loan, which is being used to launch Thrive Detroit Street newspaper. She is a Project Manager and Program Director for the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program, funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
What used to be a dusty, cramped room for storage will now be filled with hope, healing, and laughter. Marygrove's Women's Center, now established in room 030 of the Liberal Arts Building, offers a sanctuary of resources, from assault crisis hotlines and Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender/Questioning (LGBTQ) support networks to information on academic curriculum and programming in women's studies. Where stacked chairs once collected dust, now sit several shelves of books available for check-out, from history to self-help. Two cozy couches and lounge chairs have replaced the area once reserved for cluttered desks and printers. The once barren walls now wear the proud artwork of female artists, including a cycling display of canvas paintings.
"We envision that the Women's Center might come to be known among students as a kind of oasis where they can stop by to browse and stay to study regardless of their majors, in a safe, rigorous, and supportive environment," said Darcy Brandel, assistant professor of English.
The Center is open to men and women from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. Work-study students, like Veronica Johnson will greet you with a big, warm smile, offering aid and resources. Johnson, a social work major, has a drive to help those who need it most.

Shoot the Shooto 2011 Preview: Dynamite!!! 2008
- Written by Dave Walsh
K-1's Dynamite!!! events often feature fights that pit MMA fighters against K-1 fighters in either discipline, often with expected results. However, Dynamite!!! 2008 resulted in a clean sweep for MMA, with Alistar Overeem's huge upset over Badr Hari, Tatsuya Kawajiri and Gegard Mousasi taking wins over fading Japanese kickboxing legends Kozo Takeda and Musashi, respectively, and Minowaman's quick win over Errol Zimmerman. The night also held three other bouts featuring fighters who have made a name for themselves in kickboxing and MMA, with Melvin Manhoef battling Mark Hunt, Mirko Crocop taking on Hong-man Choi and Semmy Schilt facing Mighty Mo, all under MMA rules.

text: Born Pieve di Cadore c1485, Died Venice 1576. Titian was the most important artist of the Vecellio family and was highly successful during his lifetime. He is considered the greatest painter of the Venetian school and his work illustrates the transition from the meticulous finish of the 15th century to the more brushy technique and muted colours of the 16th century. Titian was based in Venice throughout his life but he had many commissions outside Venice and Italy, most notably for Phillip II of Spain. His work influenced major European painters of the 17th century including Rubens and Velazquez.

To make more efficient photo viewing and search it would be good to have the Image Gallery viewer (like in the databases) available on the Project Warehouse.
Currently only a limited number of pictures thumbnails are displayed in a page and in order to view a picture a window pops up. Changing from picture to another is not as fast as the Image Gallery view in the databases. This would come in handy when trying to view or search pictures in projects with hundreds or thousands of pictures.

Here we go! Tonight is the first night of the SSG Battle of the Machines QUARTERFINALS!
Over the past 16 weeks, you've picked the most favored Star Wars ships and vehicles that you think are up to the challenge of squaring off to see which is the best Hasbro Star Wars vehicle of all time!
Tonights contestants are battle-hardened classic favorites returning to the Dog Fight each with one victory carbon-scorched into their hulls!
It's the X-wing versus the TIE Interceptor!
The Electronic X-wing Fighter was about $30.00 and featured opening wings with linked fly-by sound effects that you activate by pushing a dedicated R2-D2's head down. A remote trigger makes laser-blast flash noises. The landing gear comes down manually, and the cockpit holds one action figure!
To get here the X-wing Fighter defeated the standard TIE Fighter 81-41 or by 66 % of the vote with 122 SSG forumites voting!
The Galactic Empires TIE Interceptor features highly detailed sculpted solar panels, split in two, with each tip mounted with a laser cannon designed to let the pilot capture a target in a crossfire between at least 2 cannons at any time. At the touch of a button, either solar panel can be ejected off to simulate battle damage to recreate the climactic clash over the Death Star II. The Interceptor also includes one pilot figure, a slight variation of the TIE Fighter Pilot collectors found carded a few years ago.
To get here the TIE Interceptor defeated the Rebel Alliance's A-wing Fighter 50-28, or by 64 % of the vote with 78 SSG forumites voting!
So which will it be? The X-wing or the Interceptor? Only one of these starfighters will survive to go into the Semi-Finals! You will choose which it will be!
Vote and then post your preference. Those who've posted will be subscribed to this thread and be able to come back and help rank the classic fighter craft that have already been 'doomed!'
To fans of the A-wing or Standard TIE Fighter, this will be especially important. But first we need to see a score hit between the X-wing and the Interceptor before I can show you how the rest of the ranking will be done!
VOTE NOW and remember to post!
Let the fighting begin!

Manager raises at City Hall raising eyebrows
SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane's mayor is raising eyebrows at city hall for a budget that would give three finance managers hefty raises.
The mayor's budget proposal came in early October and it includes raises for three administrators in the city's financial department that already make six figures. In all, the raises would total more than $50,000.
Chief Financial Officer Gavin Cooley would get a $20,000 raise to $143,000 a year, Budget Director Tim Dunivant would get an extra $20,000 for an annual salary of $128,000 and Accounting Director Pam Dolan would get $12,000 more a year to $126,000.City pay raises
The mayor says these raises are a direct result of reorganizing and eliminating jobs, but City Council President Ben Stuckart is questioning the mayor's methods.
Cooley, Dunivant and Dolan, according to Mayor Condon, work on a salary basis and are taking on more duties and therefore deserve compensation. When asked if hourly workers would see raises as well he said they receive overtime if they work more than 40 hours.
"These positions you are compensating for their managerial expertise and capability, not an hourly wage, and so these people work long hours, they work throughout the weekends … but what we did was we consolidated nearly a million dollars in managerial job descriptions and put them in a new locations," Condon explained.
Council president Ben Stuckart argued that those hourly workers are also taking on extra duties in light of the recent job cuts.
"The budget proposal eliminates a street striper, those four other street stripers are gong to pick up the job of the and asked to work harder but they're not getting raises, so I don't believe that the people that make six figures in our city deserve raises at a time when we're all tightening our belts," Stuckart said.
The mayor's budget proposal for 2013, which includes these raises, still has to get the approval of the city council. With council president Stuckart against these raises it could be a tough battle.
The council is expected to take up this issue in the coming weeks at their Monday meetings.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Don't kill the messenger in the debates on values
The great lack of knowledge and outright rejection of God's word that has brought our nation to the sad condition we experience today was vividly showcased in the Daily Journal last month. I refer to Rheta Grimsley Johnson's article on Dec. 29and Bob Spencer's letter to the editor on Dec. 30. Their attacks on the American Family Association, Brian Fisher, and Dr. James Dobson are examples of our culture's attempt to downplay God's workings by attacking His prophets. "Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great, the prophet is considered a fool… (Hosea 9:7 NIV)." Written to Israel shortly before its destruction in 722 B.C., these words are frighteningly fitting for America in 2013.
Dobson is right on when he says that children, be it 20 at Sandy Hook Elementary or millions in abortion clinics, are always innocent victims of a rebellious nation's sins. Hosea 9:16 continues "…even if they bear children, I will slay their cherished offspring." The instrument of their destruction was not actually the Sodomites, child sacrificers, and Israeli idolaters but Assyrian soldiers. But there is no doubt where the blame lay. Even further, more restrictive sword control was not the answer. Assyrian soldiers, common criminals, and psychotic murderers have no regard for the law of the land.
Brian Fisher was attacked for saying that since God has been pushed out of school for decades we have no right to expect His protective hand to rest on our children. "Because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children (Hosea 4:6 NIV). Now we can see this opinion was not simply an idea Mr. Fisher stumbled upon; Jehovah God spoke those words.
God disciplines like the wise father. He works gently at first, then more harshly if repentance does not come. God always desires restoration over destruction; however, restoration begins when we acknowledge God's word and turn from our rebellion, not by attacking God's prophets for speaking the truth. The nation of Israel learned this lesson the hard way, a very hard way.
Dan L. Bishop
Excellent education helped by acts of students' grace
Remarkable. Extraordinary. Rare. Adjectives that describe the atypical. Actions or characteristics of people that don't come around very often. When you experience it, you are speechless, in awe, even baffled because of its unusual greatness.
My 13-year-old son attends a very gifted class with his exceptional friends and two extraordinary teachers, Mrs. Sheryl Collins and Mrs. Brenda Hamric. Yet he struggles to achieve the levels of his classmates because of his mental and physical disabilities. In what can only be described as grace, his classmates see and understand that he is not as independent as they are. He is very different and he needs a lot of help – and they lend him a hand.
Through the excellent leadership and example shown by his two teachers, this group of junior high kids does what is simply astonishing. They serve my son with kindness and patience and humility and yes, greatness.
The special education class at Shannon Middle School may be the most unusual and remarkable class I have ever experienced. My son, through verbally impaired speech likes to say that he is a Red Raider and that he loves his friends at school. As his father, I am grateful that he is part of such an excellent class.

Calif. Judge Orders Apple to Share Details of HTC Settlement with Samsung
Jason Mick
November 22, 2012 10:50 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Disclosure could give Samsung leverage when bargaining with Apple, help it stay ahead
When it comes to sales only one Android OEM
has passed Apple
, Inc. (
) in U.S. sales. In fact, Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) has left Apple far behind in sales; in some quarters its top handset
outsold Apple's
(the iPhone). Meanwhile Samsung is the only Android OEM to
be strongly profitable
, although it still trails the lower volume Apple in profits.
Given that state of affairs, it perhaps makes a bit more sense why Samsung has been Apple's number one target in court. So far Apple and Samsung are one and one. In the UK
Apple lost a major case
to Samsung and was forced to
print an apology ad
; meanwhile in the U.S. a jury went the opposite way finding Samsung
guilty of $1.05B USD in "willful infringement"
(that case is being appealed).
Now even as Apple and Samsung
lock horns for a second trial
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
's San Jose courtroom
Judge Paul S. Grewal
has made a key ruling which may give Samsung leverage at the bargaining table. In a court order on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Judge Grewal
[PDF] that Apple had to disclose the terms of its intellectual property cross-licensing agreement with HTC Corp. (
Apple will have to give fiscal details of its licensing agreement with HTC to Samsung.
[Image Source: Gizmodo]
Apple and HTC
settled up
earlier this month, with Apple reportedly getting
less than half what Microsoft
Corp. (
) gets in Android licensing fees. The licensing deal is set to last for 10 years.
The Cupertino company, despite having a stacked, high-power litigation team likely settled with HTC in part because HTC is
struggling in sales
and isn't much of a threat. Now it may regret cutting a relatively reasonable deal with the Asian OEM, as it may look unfair and uncooperative to the judge and jury, should it reject a similar statement by Samsung.
According to reports while Microsoft squeezed
only $10 USD
per handset from HTC, it
gets 50 percent more
-- roughly $15 USD per handset -- from Samsung.
The document in question has been labeled "Attorneys-Eyes-Only", so it is unlikely the media will get their hands on the exact licensing details; particularly after Samsung was already admonished in the last round for allegedly leaking Apple court filings to the press.
An injunction hearing will be held on Dec. 6, at which point a California district judge will decide on whether to temporarily ban U.S. sales of Apple's iPhone 5 and/or Samsung's Galaxy S III, in addition to other Samsung "Jelly Bean" products.
Judge Grewal via SBNation [The Verge]
"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

I find it curious that, as a woman, you would be so eager to make such blatantly derogatory and offensive remarks about another woman, especially since they have nothing to do with her political or judicial opinions. Do you feel it would be appropriate for people that hold opinions that are opposed your to make similar comments about you?
Well, one thing is for sure, if she is a racist, she won't be the first one to serve on the Supreme Court.
i find the quote you use as a signature offensive. and it is probably not be true. http://www.factcheck.org/askfactchec...itution_a.html
i don't know her personally so i am not qualified to call her a whore. i doubt anyone on here is qualified. but based on some of her speeches and comments i would say she sounds like an activist and racist.

Oberheim Xpander
The Xpander is a six-voice desktop version of the Matrix 12 with which it shares an identical voice architecture. In many ways they are the most flexible non-modular analog synths ever built. Each voice has five LFOs, each with about five different wave shapes, plus the ability to sample most other modulators; five envelopes that can repeat themselves, sync to an LFO, and so on; a lag processor (like portamento, but more general); three tracking generators (that apply a series of linear functions to a value over its range); some ramp generators (the attack portion of an envelope); a 15-mode filter and a user interface to make all of this accessible.
Another very useful feature is its CV/gate to MIDI conversion capabilities for communication with older synths. There are six CV and Gate inputs which use standard 1V/8va CV and positive gating. So you can connect up to 6 external sources delivering CV/Gate and convert that into MIDI. Ample output options offer stereo and mono outputs as well as six additional individual audio outputs (1 for each voice) allowing you to use the Xpander as a stereo polyphonic 6-voice synth, as six individual monosynths or any combination in between. There's even a 3rd party Mod (Oddernmart mod) that allows for an external audio input that can be routed through the filter. And like The Matrix synths, the Xpander sounds wonderful, capable of thick analog basses, pads and textures. It is used by Cirrus, Josh Wink, Astral Projection, Vince Clarke, DJ Sasha, Chemical Brothers, Meat Beat Manifesto and Nine Inch Nails.

Pollo en Escabeche - Pickled Chicken
A Zesty Chicken PreparationPollo en Escabeche is a distinctive dish that evokes the tangy taste of Spain with white wine and red wine vinegar. This delicious chicken in aspic is a meal alone or makes a unique chicken salad base.
Nearly all Spanish restaurants offer a version of Pollo en Escabeche—the dish is similar to chicken in white wine sauce, but becomes more savory with a popular, regional combination of herbs and spices.
Serves 4
Prep time: 15 min.
Total time: 1 hr., 5 min,
1 chicken (about 3-4 lb.), cut up
2 packets Sazón GOYA® con Azafrán
1 1/2 cups GOYA® Olive Oil
3 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 carrots, sliced
10 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tbsp. paprika
2 cups GOYA® White Cooking Wine
1 1/2 cups GOYA® Red Wine Vinegar
4 bay leaves
1 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
8 whole cloves
|Sprinkle chicken evenly with Sazón. In a large saucepan, sauté chicken in olive oil until browned. Remove chicken.
|In the same pan, lightly sauté onion and carrot; add garlic and paprika, stirring in quickly to prevent burning. Add wine and simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
|Add vinegar, bay leaves, thyme and cloves. Bring to a boil, return chicken to pot and simmer, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes.
|Serve cold, sliced on a bed of lettuce or re-heat and serve with rice or potatoes. Garnish with fresh thyme.

PARTY PALETTE LOVE | apples, milk cartons and composition books | Guess the shower theme? *Duh*
Breaking the hell away from Easter for a second, here. (I didn't think it was possible to be on pastel overload. But here we are.)
I discovered this totally not too cool for school baby shower over on Amy Atlas' blog, Sweet Designs. The photographs are by Whitney Smith Photography. This is so awesome, I can't even tell you. It was created by friends of the mother-to-be, one Mrs. Emily Moulton, and it is TOO PRECIOUS. I've gotta say, I love the color scheme most of all. And it's the first (and last) time I'm gonna say that I am loving me some Diet Coke cans right now!
In Amy's words:
"The shower included lots of cute details including a chalkboard menu, lunch-sack sandwiches, cafeteria lunch trays, a composition guest book, milk and cookies, and pb&j bars. Whitney and Britney even arranged for Mrs. Moulton's students to write advice for the mom-to-be {such a cute idea!}"
Those look exactly like the Mrs. Fields cookies I used to love in high school. Brings me back. To eating too many Mrs. Fields cookies at lunchtime.
Just a couple more good reasons why it's smart to stock up on cute ceramic cake stands.
Little brown paper lunch bags are my FAVORITE thing.
Ok, coming up next, a post about my childhood, complete with pictures. And that pastel thing I worked to avoid here will return IN FULL FORCE. I just needed to detox for a little bit. Alright, talk to you soon!
xoxo, Alison

The 30 Most Badass Guitarists of All Time
Guitar players are the coolest creatures on this planet.
Don't believe us? Consider Buddy Holly. Take away his guitar and he might as well be Melvin Poindexter, full-time accountant and part-time carnival geek. Give him a Stratocaster and suddenly he's dumping Peggy Sue Gerron and shacking up with Maria Elena Santiago, una caliente Latina!
In fact, guitarists are on a whole different planet when it comes to defining cool. When you play guitar, you can get away with all kinds of acts normal people could never attempt. Face it: An ordinary dude could not walk down the street wearing a leopard-skin jacket, high-heel cowboy boots, flowing silk scarves and dozens of silver bangles without getting beaten up within minutes.
But put a guitar case in that dude's hands and suddenly grown men want to buy him a drink, and ladies slip him their phone numbers. Or try doing Chuck Berry's famous duck walk without a guitar; people will think you're mental. But do it with a guitar and they'll pelt you with a sea of money and panties.
Since guitar players are automatically cool, that means cool guitar players are the coolest of the cool. In this issue, we exalt this elite class of cold—the players who even we would sell our wives and first born just to have some of their mojo rub off on us. Some of them are pioneers who paved a bold, daring path to define new styles of cool, while others are simply the kind of guitarists we want to be when we never grow up (which is part of being cool).
These people are the real reason why the guitar remains the world's most popular instrument, so let's all raise our headstocks and give them a 21-power-chord salute.

Band Metallica
Iconic Guitar 1984 Gibson Explorer
Coolest Riff "Leper Messiah" — Master of Puppets
Most metal guitarists would kill to have half of the power and precision of James Hetfield's right hand, not to mention his ability to write the most devastating riffs known to mankind, from "Seek and Destroy" and "Creeping Death" to "Enter Sandman." Of course, most musicians with skills comparable to Hetfield's have such big egos that they become the targets of our murderous intentions. That's not the case with Hetfield.
Years of hard-earned success and fame have not changed his down-to-earth attitude. Even though he has become one of the world's richest rock stars, he hasn't married a supermodel or become a pompous art collector. Instead, he's remained true to his working-class roots, spending his spare time building incredibly cool kustom cars and cruising the streets with his car club buddies, the Beatniks of Koolsville.
His kustom masterpieces like "Slow Burn" (a 1936 Auburn boat-tail speedster), "Skyscraper" (a 1953 Buick Skylark) and his daily driver known as "The Grinch" (a 1952 Oldsmobile) are drivable works of art that defy the bland Toyota Priuses, Lexuses and Land Rover SUVs of his Northern California environs like a stiff middle-finger salute wearing a skull ring.

Band The Clash, Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
Iconic Guitar 1968 Fender Telecaster
Coolest Riff "Train in Vain" — London Calling
Joe Strummer was far from the most proficient rhythm guitarist in punk rock, and his tone was often downright wimpy.
Yet you'd never find a punk rocker who didn't want to be just like him. Whereas most punk guitarists found inspiration from the same hard rock and proto-metal players that they pretended to despise, Strummer was influenced by reggae, rockabilly, soul, ska and even early New York rap music when most of the world still hadn't heard of the Sugarhill Gang.
Those influences helped him develop a truly unique rhythm guitar style that no one has been able to duplicate since. Perhaps the coolest thing about Joe Strummer is no one could ever predict what he would do next. In 1981, the Clash played 17 consecutive nights at the 3,500-capacity Bond's International Casino nightclub in Manhattan, but when they returned to New York the next year they played two sold-out shows at Shea Stadium as an opening act for the Who.
Julien Temple's documentary, Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten, reveals what many would perceive as Strummer's flaws: from his hippie squatter roots to the way he dissed former bandmates during the Clash's last gasps. But ultimately, Strummer was a man who simply did wanted he wanted to do without giving a shit what anybody else thought.
Born July 23, 1965 (Slash); April 8, 1962 (Izzy)
Band Guns N' Roses
Iconic Guitar 1985 Gibson Les Paul Standard (Slash); Gibson ES-175 (Izzy)
Coolest Riff "Welcome to the Jungle" — Appetite for Destruction
Rock music has produced some memorable tandem guitar teams: Keef and Ronnie, Angus and Malcolm, Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing to name a few.
But Slash and Izzy Stradlin, with the original lineup of Guns N' Roses, have to go down as one of the coolest duos ever. Gutter rats Slash and Izzy had just enough yin and yang going on to provide the color and contrast that made them more than the ordinary lead and rhythm guitar team.
Both loved similar bands, like Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin, but Izzy's tastes leaned more toward groove-oriented bands like the Rolling Stones and the Doors, with a healthy dose of punk rock thrown in, while Slash loved guitar heroes like Michael Schenker and Jeff Beck.
The combination of Slash's rough-edged pyrotechnic solos and Izzy's raw power chords and off-kilter rhythms resulted in an unusual mish-mash with massive crossover appeal that metalheads, punks, glam poseurs, pop fans and classic rockers loved alike. Slash and Izzy also made vintage guitars cool again, strapping on Gibson Les Pauls, Telecasters and ES-175 hollowbodies when most guitarists were playing DayGlo superstrats, pointy metal weapons or minimalist headstock-less Stein-bortions.
Balding guitar players also have Slash and Izzy to thank for making hats fashionable rocker attire during a time when big hair was all the rage.
Born November 27, 1942 (died September 18, 1970)
Band The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Band of Gypsys
Iconic Guitar Fender Stratocaster
Coolest Riff "Machine Gun" — Band of Gypsys
Most guitarists view the guitar in terms of scales to master and tones to tame, but Jimi Hendrix viewed the instrument as an open canvas for his imagination, pulling sounds out of his Stratocaster and Marshall stacks that no one previously knew the guitar was capable of making.
The first guitarist to chain effect pedals together, Hendrix combined their tones and textures with whammy bar squeals and growls and unorthodox playing techniques to make the guitar sound like a symphony, animals, armies or the far reaches of outer space. While most Sixties psychedelic music was banal bubblegum pop with fuzz-tone guitar hooks, Hendrix made music that actually sounded like a trip after ingesting a cocktail of LSD, mushrooms and THC.
What makes Hendrix stand out is how he could play chilling, beautiful music without the sonic bombast as well. Naked, unadorned songs like "Little Wing" and "Red House" still burn with intensity even without sound effects and studio trickery, showing Jimi's uncanny ability to speak through his instrument.
His playing shocked, awed and frightened even Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, who still view Hendrix as some sort of supernatural, mythical being. Of course, they may have also been scared of how Jimi could make even a puffy shirt and a marching band jacket look fashionable.
Born January 26, 1955
Band Van Halen
Iconic Guitar Homemade "Frankenstein" Strat
Coolest Riff "Panama"—1984
Eddie Van Halen forever changed the way that the guitar is made and played, but that's not why he's cool. Sure, he's single-handedly responsible for the whole hot-rodded guitar and amp phenomenon that brought companies like Jackson and Charvel fortune, techs like Jose Arredondo and Lee Jackson fame and inventors like Floyd Rose immortality.
Yes, he perfected the two-handed tapping technique that made the guitar sound like a fucking synthesizer. And, okay, he crafted a legendary sound that guitarists are still trying to duplicate today. But what makes Eddie cool is his attitude—especially how he makes work seem like it takes no effort at all.
While he could put out an album of his farts or slap his name on any shitty guitar and still make millions, he is a painstaking perfectionist who spent years agonizing over every minute detail of his EVH Wolfgang guitar and EVH 5150 III amp before offering it to the public and who has refused to release a new Van Halen album until he feels it's ready.
Even after splitting with Valerie Bertinelli after 26 years of marriage, surviving battles with alcohol and cancer and enduring the presence of David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar for most of the last 38 years, nothing has wiped the big, warm, friendly smile off of his face.
Born May 2, 1929 (died November 5, 2005)
Band Link Wray and the Ray Men, Robert Gordon
Iconic Guitar Supro Dual Tone
Coolest Riff "Run Chicken Run" — Rumble: The Best of Link Wray
Back in 1958, most guitarists and guitar amp designers tried to avoid distortion. Not Link Wray. When he recorded his instrumental "Rumble," Wray poked holes in the tweeters of his Premier Model 71 amp to make it sound even more nasty and distorted than it could on its own.
A direct line can be drawn from "Rumble" to "My Generation," "Anarchy in the U.K." and "Smells Like Teen Spirit." The song is often credited as the origin of the power chord, but it also heralded the transformation of rock from the music of youth to the soundtrack of juvenile delinquency. Several radio stations banned "Rumble" because they thought it was too sexy, raunchy and violent. Wray even dressed like a juvenile delinquent, embellishing his greasy black pompadour with a leather jacket, jeans and shades at a time when most white rock and rollers still took fashion cues from Perry Como and Bing Crosby.
Wray kept the hits coming through the Sixties, issuing singles like "Jack the Ripper," "Ace of Spades," the manic "Run Chicken Run," the appropriately titled "The Fuzz" and the coolest version of the Batman theme ever. Wray rocked hard until the end, playing his last gig only four months before he passed away at the age of 76.
Born October 8, 1948 (died September 15, 2004)
Band The Ramones
Iconic Guitar Mosrite Ventures II
Coolest Riff "Blitzkrieg Bop" — Ramones
If ever there were a forensic investigation to identify the true biological father of punk rock guitar, all DNA evidence would point clearly to Johnny Ramone. The guitar style that people most associate with punk—briskly downpicked barre chords executed with blinding precision at breakneck tempos and marshaled in service of concise catchy song structures—is the invention, progeny and proud legacy of the man born John Cummings on Long Island, New York.
Johnny was a strange case, a rock and roll outsider who was obsessed with uniformity. And that obsession helped forge the Ramones aesthetic: the identikit leather jackets and ripped jeans worn by each band member, the single surname shared by all four (in the absence of any actual familial kinship) and the terse pacing of the music itself, with not a single excessive note or lyrical utterance.
It all added up to a cartoonish minimalism that struck a vital cultural nerve when the Ramones burst out of Manhattan's Lower East Side CBGB scene in the mid Seventies. They were the perfect antidote to the bloated self-indulgence of Seventies arena rock and the tendency—a hangover from the hippie era—for rock and rock musicians to take themselves way too seriously. The Ramones were passionate about rock, without ever being pompous.
Their songs cut right to the melodic and rhythmic core of great rock and roll. Johnny contributed song ideas and slashing guitar arrangements, but he also kept the whole thing on the rails. A straight guy in a world of addicts, perverts, weirdoes and psychos, Johnny's politics were dubious. But, like Mussolini, he made the Ramones' rock and roll train run on time for more than two decades. John Cummings passed from this life in 2004 after a five-year fight with prostate cancer.
But in the clashing clangor of Green Day, Rancid, Blink-182 and the next bunch of punk rock misfits rehearsing in some basement or garage, Johnny Ramone lives on.
Born October 29, 1949
Band Iggy and the Stooges, Iggy Pop
Iconic Guitar Gibson Les Paul Custom
Coolest Riff "Search and Destroy"—Raw Power (Iggy and the Stooges)
James Williamson was the man who facilitated Iggy Pop's transition from self-lacerating Stooges frontman to solo artist, icon and all-around elder statesman of punk. In a way, Williamson was the only man for the job. He shared Iggy and the Stooges' Detroit garage rock roots and was a friend of Stooges founding guitarist Ron Asheton during the mid Sixties.
But he also had his act way more together than any of the Stooges during their cataclysmic heyday. By the early Seventies, the Stooges were two albums into their career and starting to come apart at the seams due to myriad drug problems and an overall lack of widespread commercial acceptance of their music.
Williamson injected new life into the group, bringing an ideal balance of discipline and frenzy, best heard on the group's 1973 disc Raw Power, the album that launched thousands of punk and post punk bands. "I'm his biggest fan," the legendary Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr once said of Williamson. "He has the technical ability of Jimmy Page without being as studious and the swagger of Keith Richards without being sloppy. He's both demonic and intellectual, almost how you would imagine Darth Vader to sound if he was in a band."
Williamson went on to produce and play on Iggy's classic solo 1979 album New Values, which features gems like "I'm Bored" and "Five Foot One." The guitarist also played a key role on the follow-up disc, Soldier, anchoring a punk rock all-star lineup that included ex-Pistol Glen Matlock, Ivan Kral from the Patti Smith Band and Barry Adamson from Magazine. Shortly after Soldier, Williamson took a hiatus from rock to study electronic engineering, becoming Vice President of Technology and Standards for Sony.
When Ron Asheton died, Williamson took an early retirement from Sony and returned to his rightful place as the Stooges' guitarist. Their new album, Ready to Die, came out this year.
Born July 30, 1936
Band Solo, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells
Iconic Guitar 1957 sunburst Fender Stratocaster, polka-dot Buddy Guy signature Fender Strats
Coolest Riff "The First Time I Met the Blues" — Can't Quit the Blues
Buddy Guy is our greatest living link to blues tradition—a man who sat and played with immortals like Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Willie Dixon and Otis Spann, and who still climbs up onstage at events like the Crossroads Festival to jam with greats such as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Carlos Santana, not to mention newcomers like John Mayer.
Clapton himself has repeatedly called Guy "the greatest living guitarist." Hendrix literally knelt at Buddy's feet in the late Sixties, the better to study his riffs. Guy's secret? He combines an old-time blues feel with the technical facility of a modern guitar player. He was a youngster at the legendary Chess Records in early Sixties Chicago. Fresh up from Lettsworth, Louisiana, Guy was some 20 years junior to giants like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, yet old enough and gifted enough to share the studio with them.
And when Cream, Hendrix and Led Zeppelin brought amped-up guitar hysteria to the fore, Buddy was still in his prime, ready, able and eager to join the fray. He's still going strong today, an inspiration—and intimidation—to all who would strap on an electric guitar and dive deep into the mighty river that is the blues.
Born July 15, 1952 (died April 23, 1991)
Band New York Dolls, the Heartbreakers, Gang War
Iconic Guitar Gibson Les Paul Jr.
Coolest Riff "Chinese Rocks" — Blank Generation: The New York Scene (1975-78) (The Heartbreakers)
Johnny Thunders' snot-nosed New York take on Keith Richards' cool is one of the pillars on which punk rock was built. An Italian-American guy (birth name John Anthony Genzale Jr.) from Queens, he was born a little too late to be part of the Sixties rock explosion. But the bands of that era were his influences, and he put his own spin on them in the early Seventies as the New York Dolls came together with Thunders on lead guitar.
Thunders had the riffs to match the glam-trash group's mascara. He took rock guitar and cooked it down to its essence, playing open chords and switchblade riffs that laid bare the amphetamine urgency behind the Dolls' concise, catchy tunes. The Dolls had split up by the time punk rock got underway in New York and London, but their influence was profoundly felt on both shores.
Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols has repeatedly cited Thunders as a major influence, Dee Dee Ramone was a friend, colleague and drug brother, and Richard Hell played alongside him in the Heartbreakers. While Thunders shared Keith Richards' appetite for excess, he sadly was not blessed with Keef's monumental endurance.
Thunders died in New Orleans in 1991 under mysterious, although most likely drug-related, circumstances.
Born December 18, 1943
Band The Rolling Stones, the X-Pensive Winos
Iconic Guitar 1953 Fender Telecaster Coolest Riff "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" — Out of Our Heads
Keith Richards has made living on the edge his life's mission. Grinning blissfully—and blatantly stoned—from mid-Sixties picture sleeves, lean and lanky, swathed in flowing scarves and stylish shades, he defined the look, the attitude and the swagger essential to the vocation of rock guitarist.
From day one, his playing asserted the primacy of riffs and rhythm as the structural backbone of rock music. Following his lead, an entire generation discovered the ancient mysteries of the blues and learned to cultivate a little sympathy for the devil. Effortlessness is the key to Keef's cool.
He's sauntered down through the decades unfazed by stints in jail and hospital, heroin addiction, assorted femmes fatales, copious boozing, rampaging Hells Angels and assaults from fellow icons like Chuck Berry and Peter Tosh. Unconstrained by the grinding gradations of clock, calendar, public morality or legal prohibition, he has defined life on his own terms.
The same lawless sense of effortlessness defines his playing. Guitar slung low, cigarette dangling from his lip, he's never hyper, never tries too hard and always swings free of such limited concepts as lead versus rhythm. This is what enables him to get down to the raw truth of the groove.
Born April 23, 1936 (died December 6, 1988)
Band Solo, the Traveling Wilburys
Iconic Guitar Gibson ES-335
Classic Riff "Oh, Pretty Woman"—The Essential Roy Orbison
Most people think of Roy Orbison as the super-smooth crooner who sang songs like "Crying," "In Dreams" and "Only the Lonely." But Orbison was also a wicked guitar player, who ripped out several impressive solos on early Sun Records singles like "Ooby Dooby." In fact, Sun owner Sam Phillips was more impressed with Orbison's guitar playing than his singing during the early days of the rocker's career.
Although Orbison's good friend and Sun Records labelmate Johnny Cash may be known as "the Man in Black," Orbison habitually dressed from head to toe in black in the early Sixties, a decade before Cash adopted his dark uniform. Even Orbison's raven hair and impenetrable jet Ray-Bans were blacker than the cover to Spinal Tap's Smell the Glove, adding to his alluring persona as a mysterious, brooding artiste.
By 1964, most of Orbison's early rock and roll contemporaries were either dead, strung-out on drugs, in jail or making crappy movies, but Orbison's musical career still hadn't reached its peak. In between the ballads, he recorded singles like "Mean Woman Blues" (check his wild guitar solo) and "Oh, Pretty Woman" that showed upstarts like the Beatles, the Animals and the Rolling Stones that Americans still could rock harder than any Brit.

Bands Social Distortion, Easter, solo
Iconic Guitar 1971 Gibson Les Paul gold top with Seymour Duncan P-90s
Coolest Riff "Ball and Chain"—Social Distortion
Bull necked and heavily tattooed, Mike Ness is not the kind of guy you'd want to mess with. The Southern California guitarist, singer and songwriter has known good times and bad, punching his way out of a serious drug addiction in the mid Eighties. He has funneled these experiences into some of the most hard-hitting, plain-dealing rock songs to come out of the SoCal punk milieu. Ness launched Social Distortion in 1978.
Initially a hardcore act—in fact one of the most vital bands on the Orange County beach town/skater hardcore scene—Social Distortion morphed over the years into a vehicle for Ness' ever-evolving narrative songwriting gift, dedicated to a few simple-but-slamming guitar chords and lyrics that recount life's hard lessons.
An avid skateboarder and hot-rod enthusiast, Ness epitomizes working-class Southern Californian culture. Springsteen comparisons are always dangerous, but the Boss did appear on Ness' 1999 solo disc Cheating at Solitaire. Springsteen also named Social Distortion's Heaven and Hell as his favorite record of 1992. Brian Setzer is another kindred spirit and musical collaborator. Ness is one skate punk kid who has stood the test of time.
Born November 4, 1956 (died June 16, 1982)
Band The Pretenders
Iconic Guitar 1980 custom metal-front Zemaitis
Coolest Riff "Tattooed Love Boys"—The Pretenders
James Honeyman-Scott's moment in the spotlight was far too brief. He recorded only two albums with the Pretenders before he died of heart failure, but those tracks revealed incredible talent and versatility that quickly made him the most revered guitarist to emerge during the early days of post-punk new wave.
Honeyman-Scott's solos were concise and economical, getting the point across in only a few measures. His solo on "Kid" is a pop song unto itself that evokes the Beatles' finest melodic moments, while his three- and four-second bursts on "Tattooed Love Boys" unleash more emotion, fire and style than most guitarists can convey in an extended 15-minute solo.
Unlike most new wave guitarists at the dawn of the Eighties, Honeyman-Scott had impeccable fashion sense. He always maintained a timeless detached rocker look, and his aviator shades, medium-length shag haircut, suit jacket and jeans attire never really went out of style, unlike the geometric haircuts and DayGlo suits that many of his contemporaries wore. He always played the coolest guitars onstage as well, from classic Gibson Les Pauls and Firebirds to custom-made Hamers and Zemaitis metal-front guitars.
He even married a model with coolest imaginable name for a guitarist's girlfriend—Peggy Sue Fender.

Most musicians who revive a musical style from the past are like classic-car restorers, refusing to modify it in any way and insisting on keeping it exactly as it was back in the day. Brian Setzer is more like a hot rodder, keeping certain essential elements as a foundation but updating them with a lot more power, speed and style.
With the Stray Cats he made rockabilly sound as dangerous as punk, and his fleet-fingered solos impressed even the most technically minded metalheads. He pulled off a similar feat in the Nineties with the Brian Setzer Orchestra, making big-band jazz appealing to rockers.
Although Gretsch went out of business and ceased making guitars about the same time that the Stray Cats emerged, Setzer helped bring the company back to life by showing players just how cool Gretsch guitars could sound. As a result, Setzer was the first artist since Chet Atkins to be honored with his own signature-model Gretsch guitar.
For those of us who dread Christmas music, Setzer's holiday collections with the Brian Setzer Orchestra provide relief, giving guitar fans plenty of shredding solos to enjoy in between schmaltzy verses about figgy pudding and some fat, creepy man in red velvet pajamas.

Coolest Riff "Mystery Pacific"—The Very Best of Django Reinhardt
Electric guitarists like Charlie Christian and T-Bone Walker rightfully get a lot of credit for introducing the concept of the single-string electric guitar solo, but many historians forget that Belgian Gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt was shredding the strings a few years before those gents—and he didn't need electricity.
The acoustic solos Reinhardt recorded with the Quintet of the Hot Club of France between 1936 and 1940 are simply astounding displays of virtuosity, melodic taste and speed that left indelible impressions on players throughout several generations, including Les Paul, Jimmy Page and Michael Angelo Batio. Django didn't even need all four fretting fingers either, using only two left hand fingers to play complicated chords and hyperspeed solos (his third and fourth fingers were badly burned in a fire).
Django's "handicap" later inspired Tony Iommi and Jerry Garcia to keep playing guitar after they permanently injured their fretting hands. Django lived life as hard and fast as he played guitar. A notorious gambler, drinker, gourmand and womanizer, he died of a brain hemorrhage at the age of 43, but his solos continue to awe players today.
