JOE TALAMO, SANTA TERESITA, WINNER: "She just had a beautiful trip. I decided to keep her as relaxed as possible, but she tends to get a little strong early. That's her style and you can't take that away from her. She's a stalking kind of filly and I was able to keep her outside of the one (Briecat, under Jose Valdivia) and that helped her to stay relaxed. At the quarter pole I said 'Okay mama, let's go,' and she really gave it to me. She was striding out great and this was a great way to finish up the day."
ERIC GUILLOT, SANTA TERESITA, WINNER: "Michael Baze (who rode Santa Teresita in her last three races, including a 10th place finish on a "good" turf course in the Grade III Tuzla Handicap at Hollywood Park on Jan. 25) is a very good kid, a very smart rider. She's kind of a grinder, a big-footed horse, and was struggling with the heavy turf, just like she did at Delaware (seventh by 26 ¼ lengths in the Delaware Handicap on traditional dirt last July 13) . . . Today, coming back in three weeks with a race under her belt, she was coming to this race perfect. I was pretty high on her today. I thought she'd run big and she did. I told Joe (Talamo), 'She just don't like being buried on inside on the rail . . . she hates it, she gets rank. She was fresh. I told him, 'Make sure you kind of grab her, hold her. I didn't want to get the lead that early, but she was so good today, she ran huge."
Guillot said he would consider the Grade I, $300,000 Santa Margarita Handicap at 1 1/8 miles on March 14 for Santa Teresita's next race.
NOTES: The winning owner is Michel Blanco Moreno of Lafayette, La., who races as Southern Equine Stable, LLC. -30-

The Madison County Commission voted on Wednesday to stop taking cash payments for private works. The decision impacts thousands of transactions annually. Commission Chairman Dale Strong asked the board to debate abolishing private works in its entirety. Ultimately, the commission voted to stop the cash payments but continue with providing private works to Madison County citizens.
Private works primarily deals with dropping off half and full loads of gravel to citizens using county crews. Madison County charges up to $125 to haul and drop off the load.
District One Commissioner Roger Jones said his district's citizens spent more than $65,000 in private works over the last six months. According to Jones, 24 percent of those transactions were made with cash. All of the Madison County Commission voted in favor of the change except for Commissioner Bob Harrison, who abstained.
The vote comes weeks after authorities arrested a former commission employee for allegedly stealing thousands of dollars. Commissioner Eddie Sisk said it comes down to accountability, and since he first uncovered discrepancies by that former employee, he's pushed to move away from taking cash for private works.
"The problem with the cash is when you send someone out, the cash is trading hands with several people," explained Sisk. "The truck driver has to take it; if they don't have change, he's got to go somewhere and get change for them, make change, come back, and then it comes into the district office. I just want to eliminate all that."
The commission briefly discussed abolishing private works altogether before stopping the discussion and voted to only end cash payments, leaving the services intact.

The bottom of the first inning was sloppy, but sloppy on both sides and the result was yet another scoreless frame for Justin Verlander.
Ian Kinsler led off and walked. Though he stole 30 bases during the regular season, Ron Washington didn't quite trust Kinsler to reach second base on his own, and called for the hit-and-run, which might have worked out nicely except Elvis Andrus failed to connect with an inside fastball and Kinsler was out from here to Laredo.
Andrus didn't exactly redeem himself when he lifted a routine fly to center field ... but at least he hustled enough to reach second base when the ball clanked off Austin Jackson's glove for a two-base error.
Verlander struck out Josh Hamilton, but walked Michael Young. Which brought up Adrian Beltré, who's hit 15 home runs since August turned into September.
Verlander didn't care. Verlander struck out Beltre on a curveball that bounced off the ground -- the ground -- and the Rangers have blown one of the few good opportunities they're likely to get tonight.
After one inning it's still scoreless.

After watching Feeley absolutely dominate the Falcons yesterday, I'm beginning to agree that Garcia's success was helped out quite a bit by total team talent. Feeley had a 61.7 QB rating as a starter for the Dolphins, and lit up the Falcons yesterday for a 122.9 rating (66.%, 342 yds, 3 TDs, 0 INTs). I'd be really nervous that some of the shine would come off of Garcia after we pay him a nice contract, then he lays an egg behind our lesser offensive supporting cast.

Can Millennials make it as tech entrepreneurs? Here are my 5 tips

THIS BOOK is medium/large format 200mm x 250mm, with over 400 colour photos: plus maps, a drawing of Libelle; and an extensive glossary and comprehensive inventory.
At the age of eight, I discovered boats – from then I yearned to own one. Living in a poor family, that was not likely to happen for a long time. At fifteen I learnt navigation. But I never thought that fifty years later, strange coincidences would see me put my savings into a small yacht, and sail around the world.
Why did I give up house and job for a risky challenge and an uncertain future? What drove me to take a plunge that most people only dream about?
The voyage took two and a half years, covered 30,000 miles, and visited 130 ports in 39 countries.
I sailed two sections alone, but 14 people sailed at different times – many were friends, some were backpackers. And I met my father in England (for the second time). There was much to see of personalities and myself.
Despite the many challenges, pirates, and disparate cultures, I returned safely, amazed at what I describe as audacity.
Sail me round the world is ultimately a tale of achieving goals with careful planning and commitment. And it's an interesting look at personal behaviours.
It's a call to take action in life; or to watch it from your armchair.

The Town Talk reports (http://townta.lk/yqwSwg ) 38-year-old Dwayne L. Dunlavy of Ravenna, Ohio, was booked Monday with possession of child pornography after the images were found on electronic devices in his hotel room.

Women's lacrosse falls hard to Smith College Pioneers, lose 22-5
The women's lacrosse team struggled both offensively and defensively during its match against Smith College on March 17, losing 22-5. This makes its overall record 0-3.
In the first six minutes, the Pioneers already had a four-point lead over the Wildcats. The match began with a couple of quick plays from the Wildcats, showing a chance for strength.
Sophomore Chas Tittle was able to snatch away the opening draw control, while sophomore goalkeeper Kaleigh
Phillips blocked the first goal attempt from the Pioneers. Phillips served as a replacement for freshman Erika Phillipo, who was out on injury.
However, less than a minute later, the Pioneers scored their first goal.
Tittle and junior Shelby Duarte both contributed two goals for the Wildcats.

eastside tucson bmx park
Hey, my name is Winston and I live in Tucson, Arizona. I love to ride my bike with friends. We like to ride dirt and we build jumps. But, people with dirt bikes always run them over. And it is really stressful because we put a ton of hard work into building and they just get torn down. Also we used to have a local place behind our Target Greatland store that people built a lot of jumps at but just recently, they got torn down. It is hard to find a safe, fun place to ride our bikes. We think it would be fun to ride at a skate park but, every skate park is for skateboarders only. BMX bikers can't ever ride at any skate park. There are two skate parks that I know of, they are Purple Heart Park and The OTT YMCA skate park but bikers get kicked off or arrested anytime they go there. I think it would be gtreat to build a bmx park on the eastide of Tucson, Arizona. There are tons of great places to build it at near 22nd and Houghton. Please sign my petition. Thank you, Winston, age 13

Pond Aerators
Algae, if left unchecked
can kill nearly all life in a pond or lake, make it difficult to use the
lake for expected recreational purposes, and can also be smelly and
unsightly. For many years, the Park District battled the algae that grows
year round in the Park District's retention ponds by contracting a private
company to apply chemicals to ponds and lakes affected by algae growth. The
chemical application, though relatively expensive, has been somewhat
effective in most cases. In 2003, the Park Board approved an eco-friendly
plan to install above water (fountains) and/or below water (bubblers),
depending on the square footage and depth of the lake/pond aerators, in each
of the District's retention ponds over a period of years.
The first aerator was
installed in Willow Lake in Deerpath Park in late fall 2003 and activated in
spring of 2004. A second aerator in the west detention pond at Grosse
Pointe Park was installed and activated in the summer of 2004. Three aerators were added to Little Bear Lake in 2007. Over the
next few years, aerators are scheduled to be added to other Park
District lakes, based on need.
The Benefits
After a reasonable test
period, it appears the District was successful in meeting the primary goal of
eliminating algae growth. Future success in this area will be monitored on
an ongoing basis. Secondary benefits derived from the aerators include
improved water quality, healthier fish and, although debated by some,
beautiful fountains of water. As an additional benefit, the Park District is
no longer adding chemicals to its lakes and ponds, which in the long run is better for the environment.
Operating Hours
Normally, aerators
will operate during daylight to early evening hours, April through November.
Annual Tree
Tree and shrub pruning
is a year round activity of the Vernon Hills Park District. The heaviest of
pruning is done in December, January, February and first half of March when
the leaves are off the trees and shrubs.
Tree trimming general
objectives are:
To keep the lowest
branches on the tree above seven feet above the ground in the open areas
in the parks and eleven feet above the ground over paths and driveways.
To remove crossed,
damaged, dead and diseased branches.
To remove suckers and eliminate witchhazeling growth.
To shape the trees
to reduce conflicts with other trees, buildings, and other objects. In
most cases the tree will be allowed to develop to its natural shape and
Trees that present a
hazard, extend over property lines, conflict with other trees, show
declining health or conflict with other park usage may be subject to
The District Pruning
Schedule is based on a six-year rotation but may be extended, depending on
other activities or on weather conditions.
Projected Pruning
2011-12 Deerpath,
Carriage Green, Torrey Pines, Beaver Creek
and Herbicide Application of Turfgrass (for bugs and weeds)
Our grass is no
different than yours. Its appearance (color and weed content) is impacted
proportionately by the amount of money that is spent on fertilizers and
herbicides to get and keep it green and weed free. With nearly 400 acres of
grass to maintain, the District tries to keep its grass green and relatively
weed free within reasonable cost limits.
Starting with the fall
2004 herbicide applications, the Park District stepped up its weed control
program to two applications a year. Thanks to this effort, we expect to see fewer
dandelions and weeds in the future. To ensure your safety, the Park District has
its own Illinois Department of Agrigculture Herbicide Operators Licenses to spray some of its parks and also contracts
some of the spraying out to a state-certified private company. Watch for the
little flags placed in the ground that advise you whenever a park has been
sprayed. If you or a member of your family are concerned about health issues
related to the District's spraying program, would like to be notified of an
upcoming spraying, or would like more information about the District's
herbicide spraying program, contact Mike Moorman, Park Superintendent at
firstname.lastname@example.com or at 847-362-0920.
Lake Water Quality
The Park District's two
biggest lakes, Big Bear and Little Bear at Century Park, are reviewed for
water quality by the Lakes Management Unit of the Lake
County Health Department. The last report was dated 2008. In summary, both
of these mid-70's man-made lakes suffer from water clarity problems caused
mostly by sediment and some algae blooms. Because aquatic plant life is
sparse, providing little habitat for shelter, food and nursery areas, the
potential for high fish counts is very limited. The main cause of the high
amounts of sediment in the water is soil erosion caused by steep slopes (see
Shoreline Stabilization Project), fluctuating water levels (the Seavey Ditch
is the water source for the lakes, as well as surface water runoff),
regularly cut lawn, and geese that eat the shoreline grasses down to its
roots. Though the water quality reports are lengthy and relatively
technical, they are available for inspection by contacting the Park
District's Executive Director 847-996-6800.
Maintenance and Improvements
For the 2012
growing seasons, nearly all of the District's flower beds will be maintained
by Balanced Environments, a local landscape firm.
Mowing and
Trimming of Park Grass
The Vernon Hills Park
District maintains nearly 400 acres of grass! Weekly cutting and trimming is
scheduled for all of the District's parks from April to mid-October,
depending on the weather and when the grass stops growing for the season.
Some parks with athletic fields may be cut more often, especially during the
spring ball playing season.
Due to the size and
scope of the projects, some or all of the cutting, trimming and mowing has
been contracted out. The grounds at Deerpath, Century, Garvanian, Hartmann, and Peterson Parks are
mowed by the Parks Maintenance staff. The grounds at Lake Charles, Hawthorn Mellody, Aspen and Carriage Green Parks are jointly mowed by the Park
District and a contractor, Jameson Landscaping. Questions and/or
concerns about the District's mowing schedule should be addressed to Mike Moorman, Parks Superintendent, at
email@example.com or at 847-362-0920.
The Vernon Hills Park
District does not spray its parks for mosquitoes. However, the Village of
Vernon Hills has a mosquito control program which encompasses all of Vernon
Hills. More information can be obtained by contacting the Village Public
Works department.
Stabilization Project
In 1997, the Park
District began the long term project of restoring, and thereby stabilizing,
the eroded shorelines of Big and Little Bear Lakes at Century Park. Due to
the widespread deterioration (more than 13,000 linear feet of shoreline) and
the District's limited funds,
the work is being accomplished over a period of years. In 1998, an additional
1000 linear feet was restored before the project was temporarily tabled due
to other District priorities. In fall 2004, the project was revitalized at
the south end of Little Bear Lake where the erosion is the worst. An
additional 1000 linear feet was restored in spring 2005,
800 lineal feet was completed in spring 2006. As funds
permit, the Board plans to approve funds to repair an additional 1,000 linear feet of shoreline each budget year.

Keeping the District's
parks clean and free of debris is no easy task. The District's park
maintenance staff works hard to keep up with the trash pickup. It requires
everyone's help in order to get the job done. There are more than 200 trash
containers located in the District's parks. Daily pickups are scheduled during the heavy
use season, or more often if needed. If you should notice a trash container
that needs attention, please contact Mike Moorman, Park Superintendent at
email@example.com or 847-362-0920.
Turf Aeration
Turf aeration helps
reduce soil compaction, allows for gas exchange in the root zone, and allows
fertilizer and water to penetrate deeper into the root zone, all of which
encourages a healthy stand of grass. When used prior to over seeding, the
seeds make better soil contact for a greater percent of germination. Ground
aeration can be performed anytime of year the ground is not frozen or too
The District owns and
operates a tractor-mounted pull behind Ryan Renovator with a double set of
three-quarter inch open tines. This unit will remove a core of soil up to
four inches deep depending on soil conditions on a 3-inch by 3-inch spacing
across its six-foot operating width at ten miles per hour. The cores are
left on the surface to be broken down by weather, normally within a few days
to a week.
The objective of the
Park District is to aerate all parks at least once a year and athletic
fields twice a year. Other required or emergency maintenance activities or
weather conditions may affect aeration activities and times.
Spring aeration season -
April and May - primary athletic fields
Fall aeration season - August, September, and October - athletic fields and
As part of its environmental commitment, the Park District
participates in two types of recycling efforts:
Mandatory: Park District tires, batteries, used oil, fluorescent lamps and
computer monitors.
Voluntary: Aluminum cans, plastic bottles and paper at the Laschen
and Sullivan Community Centers, at the Family Aquatic Center, and at selected parks. The Park District also recycles computer hardware and wood chips.

Wow. One wonders how long banks can continue to remain a step ahead of all of these advanced cyber-criminals. As the security consultant said at the end of the article, this type of heist has to inspire some other smart folks with a little desire and time on their hands and lack of moral bearings. One also wonders how many similar heists have been kept private so as not to "inspire" other cyber-criminals. Seems like security costs are just going to continue to escalate for the banking industry without its receiving any revenue gains in return on that expense. And i wonder whose pocketbook that will come out of? Hopefully the cost savings of handling more of their business online will offset these higher data/security costs.

Specialty sleep category soars while innerspring units drop
June 6, 2012-- Furniture Today,
There are two very different worlds in the mattress industry. One is a world of soaring unit and dollar growth and lofty selling prices. The other is a world of declining unit growth, slight dollar growth and far more modest selling prices.
In which world would you rather do business?
This is not just a hypothetical question. It is a question that confronts mattress producers and retailers every day.
The first world we described is the world of specialty sleep. The growth rates there are eye-popping. Last year, unit shipments of specialty mattresses jumped 24.3% and the dollar value of those shipments increased 29.5%. The average unit price of specialty mattresses rose 4.2% last year, to $559.23.
The second world, as you probably surmised, is the world of innerspring bedding. Innerspring mattress units declined 1.9% last year, while the dollar value of innerspring mattresses rose a modest 2.6%. The average unit price of an innerspring mattress last year was up 4.7% to $210.47, just over a third of the specialty mattress price.
All of those figures are from the 2011 Report of Sales and Trends just issued by the International Sleep Products Assn.
It's true that innerspring bedding still dominates on sales floors around the country. But specialty sleep continues to gain share rapidly. Last year, specialty sleep's mattress unit share jumped to 13.8%, up from 11.2% the previous year, and its dollar share jumped to 29.4%, up from 25.2% the previous year.
Similar gains are expected in the years to come, bedding observers say.
Retailers love the high selling prices of specialty sleep beds and the high satisfaction levels that come with those products. The sale of just one specialty sleep set can provide three times the sales dollars of one innerspring sleep set. Of course, the specialty sleep beds generally sell at higher prices and not all consumers can afford them.
The growth story being written by the specialty sleep segment is well known. But I was surprised with ISPA's report on innerspring's performance last year. That 1.9% unit decline means that segment suffered a recession last year. And since the innerspring category accounts for about 70% of the total dollar value of shipments and about 86% of total units, that recession was broadly felt. I didn't realize that the heart of the industry was in a recession in 2011.
The only thing preventing the industry as a whole from heading south in units was the stellar performance of specialty sleep. Its 24.3% mattress unit gain was enough to lift the entire industry into positive territory - barely - with a 0.2% unit gain.
Thank goodness for specialty sleep.

The Register-News
---- — MT. VERNON — The newly constructed Times Square Mall water tower is expected to get a new look by the end of fall.
"We're opening bids for painting the tower (today)," said City Manager Ron Neibert. "We will open them at 10 a.m. and have a recommendation for the Council by the meeting on Monday, then hope to have it completed early this fall."
This is the second time the city has gone out to bid for the painting, the first time asking contractors to bid on painting the tower and the pedestrian bridge over Broadway at Casey Middle School.
"We didn't receive any bidders that time," Neibert said. "We spoke with the contractors and found out they were concerned with the schedule for completion of painting the bridge ... which had to be done before the start of school. It was going to be hard to meet the schedule."
So, the city decided to separate the two painting projects.
"We will be re-evaluating when and what to do with the bridge," Neibert said. "The Branding Leadership Team is looking at that project. We don't want to interfere with school, whatever is decided."
The design for painting the tower has many contractors excited, Neibert said.
"It's a design consistent with the city's adopted brand," Neibert said. "There is a design function to it. It's not just putting a coat of paint on there and then walking away. The community is making a statement. Several contractors we've talked to are interested and excited about doing it. ... Having the signature painting on the water tower is what branding is about — making a statement about Mt. Vernon."
The design is in line with the adopted branding which now appears on city letterhead and other items — a white background with various colored swirls — described by some on the BLT as "whimsical." The design was adopted to go along with the city's motto, "Creativity Redefined."

New Paper Series Explores Reproductive Justice Issues, Including What Happens to Pregnant Women in Prison
The treatment of pregnant women in prison exposes problems with mass imprisonment in the United States.
After facing strong opposition to a targeted attack on Planned Parenthood's WIC program, Oklahoma's legislators have allowed a bill threatening the health of needy infants and children to die in committee.
This language of "informed consent" merely serves as a thinly veiled attempt at shaming women who seek abortion, a shaming made all the more hypocritical when carried out in the supposed name of women's health and safety.
Earlier this month, the New York City Council passed a bill which requires limited service pregnancy centers, also known as crisis pregnancy centers, to disclose the services they do and don't provide. These centers which are not health care facilities, have a history of lying to women and disseminating misinformation in service to their anti-abortion agenda.
Recent advances in HIV prevention promise to catalyze the global effort to reverse the spread of HIV. But we also must ensure that the estimated 33 million already living with the virus have access to quality sexual and reproductive health services.

Seems like many states will do anything to save a few dollars, even if it costs them down the road. And the easiest target is always the low-income woman.
The infant mortality crisis in the United States is one of the most shameful examples of health disparities in our country. Ending it may require a total "re-imagining" of prenatal care.

CHINA: Tea makers in China have created the world's most expensive tea and it's made with the help of pandas.
Perhaps "help" is the wrong word. Maybe "unknowing assistance" is the better phrase.
The organic green tea blend is fertilized exclusively with panda droppings.
Believe it or not, tea makers say panda excrement is highly prized due to its high nutritional value.
The first batch of the organic tea blend is being sold for nearly $180 an ounce or around $13 dollars a tea bag.
All the profits from the sale of the limited edition tea will be used to set up a fund to support environmental projects.

ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) -- Winthrop has dismissed men's basketball coach Randy Peele after five seasons.
Athletic director Tom Hickman announced the move Monday.
Peele succeeded current Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall after the 2007 season and won the Big South Conference tournament championship in 2008 and 2010. However, the Eagles had back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 1997 and 1998. Winthrop fell to VMI in the Big South tournament last Thursday to finish 12-20.
Peele spent three years on Marshall's staff at Winthrop before taking the head job.
Hickman said the team had underachieved the past two seasons and change in leadership was needed to spark the program.

The Marco Polo is just down the street from my office so I stopped in today for a BLT and a beer.
They are a very standard American pub with a dozen televisions, a couple of pool tables, and a bit of a NASCAR theme. On top of that, they have about 14 taps centered on Seattle and regional craft brews (with three or four macros thrown in). I had a Manny's, which I felt appropriate in a Georgetown bar. The one drawback is that my beer appeared to be served in a cheater pint, of which I'm not a big fan.
Service was friendly and very prompt while I was there; they had a few guys on staff and the house was about half-full. The food is pretty tasty and reasonably priced.

Broiled chicken brought us here, Rainer did not keep us around, nor did other beers that were available. Honestly, decent dive bar with attentive staff. Unique customer base. If beer snob, avoid, if beer nerd, why bother, if person who enjoys different conversations, give it a shot. Many scarier places nearby. Beer served in FROSTED glasses, be prepared for more water than you may want.

September 2014
Summer is… brings the allure of a Colorado summer staple—campfires—to downtown Denver. Made from beetle-kill pine, recycled camping rope, and other recycled materials, these urban campfires offer the perfect place for rest and relaxation. Visitor-submitted story tags create a canopy of leaves, making Martin Plaza a great spot to enjoy the season.
Story tags and pens are provided on the plaza.
"[One of] 15 international summer art exhibitions you should definitely see." — The Huffington Post
"This show promises to be one of the greatest art events of the summer." — Michael Paglia, art ltd. magazine
Beyond Pop Art: A Tom Wesselmann Retrospective features the work of painter Tom Wesselmann, who is widely regarded as one of the leading figures of American pop art.
These prints reveal the changing styles and art movements developed by Japanese printmakers during a 100-year period. The variety of styles reflects the changing appearance of Japan as it embraced modern technology but continued to respect its cultural past. Though woodblock printing has been around for centuries, in the twentieth century, artists played with new subjects and topics that were relevant to a contemporary audience.
Herbert Bayer spent an artistically fruitful decade in Berlin following his tenure at the Bauhaus. His graphic designs of the time are characterized by inventive integration of typography, photomontage, and graphics. Born of Bayer's multidisciplinary method, these designs appear fresh, even today.
"Upon first glance, viewers might think Daniel's works are photographs because of their stunningly realistic elements. However, the longer we look at one of his paintings, the more we become aware that they are anything but a part of our world. We encounter Sprick's paintings not so much as statements, but more as experiences, whereby we engage deeply with his creativity."
- Timothy J. Standring, exhibition curator and Gates Foundation Curator at the DAM
Drawing from the Denver Art Museum's extensive Spanish colonial art collection, Fashion Fusion looks at the influence textile motif's have had on other artistic mediums.
From recycled plastics and bound clothing to woven silks and charred tree limbs, Material World illustrates the wide range of materials and techniques used by contemporary artists.
German-born artist Oliver Herring began making videos after a spinal disk in his neck slipped out of place more than 10 years ago. The injury made it painful for him to knit intricate sculptures, such as Castle and Doublerocker, both were on display in Material World. But he could use a camera. Herring has continued making videos since then, focusing increasingly on the people who participate in them. He has invited friends and strangers to improvise scenarios he contrives.
The environment, literacy, peace, and equality are just a few of the subjects that designers tackle in Drawn to Action: Posters from the AIGA Design Archives. With a touch of humor or with straightforward solemnity, the 33 posters in this exhibition demonstrate the inventive techniques designers use to provoke action.
Joyce and Ted Strauss transformed the museum's photography collection through their involvement as patrons, collectors, curators, and passionate advocates for the medium. As collectors, Joyce and Ted cast a wide net that encompassed early masterworks as well as experimental photographs by emerging artists. Even as they focused on contemporary art, they continued to acquire important twentieth century photographs with a strong historic or conceptual relationship to more recent work.
Following nearly one year of conservation treatment, an Italian masterwork discovered in the Denver Art Museum storage is on view. Since spring 2012, we have been writing updates about behind-the-scenes discoveries and decisions related to the restoration.
Carroll Dunham's world of animated line is populated by organic shapes and cartoon-like creatures. Dunham's drawings demonstrate the artist's dexterity in thin lines, delicate shadings, aggressive smudges, and smeary black washes. This show is about the essence of drawing. At the same time, it celebrates Dunham's ability to manipulate simple materials and lines in ways that have engaged viewers for more than three decades.
A completely new exhibition in the textile art galleries features more than 20 quilts arranged in nine thematic groupings. Each section invites viewers to look closely at the different themes and variations. Visitors can discover common roots for motifs and patterns and creative differences in materials and techniques. More than half of the objects are recent acquisitions on view for the first time, while others, including The Matterhorn quilt (pictured below), are well-known treasures of the collection.
The 30 artworks in this exhibition reveal the versatility of lacquer as a medium used by Japanese artists to create containers, trays, plaques, braziers, and screens. A wide range of techniques are represented to demonstrate how lacquer was used during the last century to create objects of enduring beauty. The selected artworks reflect the changing styles and tastes of successive generations of lacquer artists who produced designs based on plants, animals, and other elements of nature.
This summer, Jason Rogenes will transform the Precourt Discovery Hall into an immersive sculptural environment where families can play with custom cast "asteroids" to create otherworldly soundscapes. Part of a rich summer program focusing on sculpture, the installation—made out of cardboard and reclaimed Styrofoam—will encourage visitors to reconsider familiar and typically discarded materials for their artmaking possibilities.
Sovereign: Independent Voices highlights the work of three leading American Indian contemporary artists, Kent Monkman, Rose Simpson, and Virgil Ortiz, who have received international acclaim. These artists challenge people to think more broadly about the place of native artists in the contemporary art world through a fusion of historic techniques with contemporary styles and ideas. The included works reflect meditations on the self and native histories in a variety of media, including painting, sculptural ceramics, and multimedia works.
Depth and Detail: Carved Bamboo from China, Japan, and Korea showcases a variety of carved, cut, incised, and etched bamboo objects. The exhibition demonstrates how artists used bamboo, carving deeply through it to achieve different colors and textures. The intricate decoration of the items on view includes religious imagery as well as people, animals, birds, insects, plants, and landscapes that tell stories or have symbolic meaning.
Rupprecht Matthies' ¿Being Home? is a community-inspired, interactive artwork that grows with each installation. In 2009 and 2011, Matthies collaborated with immigrants at Denver-area community organizations, including the African Community Center, the Emily Griffith Opportunity School, and Centro San Juan Diego, to gather words evocative of notions of home. The resulting words—transformed into mobiles, pillows, and wall pieces—are in 13 languages including English, Spanish, Arabic, and Kareni.
Experience one of the world's premier collections of Native American art. Reopened on January 30, 2011, our remodeled galleries of American Indian and Northwest Coast art focus on artists and their creations, revealing the hand and eye of each individual artist.
Nampeyo: Excellence by Name is on view in the American Indian art galleries. Nampeyo is recognized as one of the greatest ceramicists of the 20th century. This exhibition traces the full spectrum of the famed Hopi artist's career, highlighting key elements of her innovative forms and designs and the work of successive generations of her family.
Cubism was the most revolutionary and influential movement of the twentieth century. After Renaissance artists perfected the device of perspective, a painting was thought of as a window into the world. But cubist painters understood that canvases themselves were painted objects. They also rejected the idea that an object rendered with traditional perspective was any more "real" than an abstraction of that object on the flat surface.
This reinstallation of the Joan & George Anderman Gallery of Oceanic Art offers a glimpse at the variety of creative design and ingenious construction possible through the unique medium of bark cloth (or tapa) used across the Pacific. Techniques and styles for decorating varied from island group to island group. Painted, printed, and beaten patterns decorate supple and sometimes expansive bark cloths.

Select Route:
A great pitch in its own right and adds height to whatever initial climb you use to approach the starting ledge. A Red River Classic. The standard climb is 5.9+, and a second pitch of aid (reportedly A2/C2) can be done to reach the top of the rock.
Where Lizards Dare is the obvious "flip-flop dihedral" starting from the ledge at just below the mid-height of the cliff, above the climb Snake. THe climb starts as a shallow right-facing corner and as the wall on the left reclines and on the right inclines, the climb crosses a flux point where the dihedral becomes left-facing.
The climb takes gear from small nuts to hand sized. There is a bolted anchor at the top of the pitch.
