NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Free Autograph Session On Friday
Race fans attending the Mountain Dew 250 fueled by Fred's have the opportunity to go home with more than just memories of a great race. At least eleven drivers from the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series are scheduled to participate in a free autograph session on Friday, Oct. 30 in the concourse area behind the OV Hill South Grandstands, sections D & E. The autograph session is scheduled to last from 2 – 3 pm.
Drivers scheduled to attend are:
• Colin Braun
• James Buescher
• Brian Scott
• Todd Bodine
• Rick Crawford
• Tayler Malsam
• TJ Bell
• Timothy Peters
• Johnny Sauter
• Terry Cook
• David Starr
"I would like to encourage all of our fans to stop by and visit the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series autograph session," said Talladega Superspeedway President Rick Humphrey. "The truck series always goes the extra mile to put on a great show for the fans and this autograph session is a perfect example of that. We are looking forward to the Mountain Dew 250 fueled by Fred's."
In 2009, Talladega Superspeedway proudly celebrates forty years of the most competitive racing in NASCAR. While the track has seen changes made to the cars that circle its high-banks, the surface that they race on and the grandstands that thousands of fans fill twice a year, one constant remains; Talladega Superspeedway is authentic NASCAR racing at its finest.
AMP Energy presents the Zac Brown Band and Southern Ground Records artists Levi Lowrey, Nic Cowan and Sonia Leigh. The weekend features the AMP Energy 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race and the Mountain Dew 250 fueled by Fred's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race.
Tickets prices start as low as $40 for the AMP Energy 500. To order, call 1-877-Go2-DEGA or visit www.talladegasuperspeedway.com. For our hearing impaired guests, please call TDD 1-866-ISC-TRAK (1-866-472-8725).

This Week in Virology (TWiV) is a podcast – or netcast, as some prefer to call them, since you don't need an iPod to listen – about viruses. It was begun in September 2008 by Vincent Racaniello and Dick Despommier, two science Professors at Columbia University Medical Center. Their goal was to have an informal yet informative conversation about viruses which would be accessible to everyone, no matter what their science background. We wanted to eventually bring other virologists into the conversation, to make it more varied and interesting. Alan Dove, a science writer, joined us late in 2008, and Rich Condit, a poxvirologist, joined in 2009. We've had a number of guests on the show and we're always trying to get more.
Why are we doing this? Dick, Rich, and I have spent our entire academic careers directing research laboratories, so we have a lot of knowledge to share. Plus, we both enjoy teaching. Put those two things together, and you have TWiV. If you want to learn about viruses in a relaxing way, then TWiV is for you.

Black Boys in Oakland Arrested More Than Other Groups
A study by the Black Organizing Project found that African-American boys in Oakland are arrested far more often than boys of other races. Between 2006 and 2012, Black boys were 73.5 percent of all juvenile arrests in the city, but made up 30 percent of the under-18 population. Just over 20 percent were actually prosecuted.

Findings on teen smoking and deterrent pictures
Online journal Tobacco Control carried out two surveys of over 1,000 11 to 16-year-olds in the UK were questioned about their response to warnings in 2008 and a further 1,000 were questioned in 2011.
- Over half of the teenager in both surveys (68% and 75%) had never smoked and 17% and 22% had experimented with cigarettes.
- One in 10 of the teenager questioned were regular smokers - they lit up at least once a week.
- Half of those questioned in both surveys said they had 'often' or 'very often' noticed the warnings on packs, and around one in five had read them very often or looked closely at them.
- The teenagers' ability to recall images depicting diseased lungs, rotten teeth and neck cancer, remained below 10% while three text warnings on the back of packs with no supporting images were recalled by less than 1% in either survey.

After a successful year, the Big Three move forward in 2014
Today, Detroit kicks off the annual North American International Auto Show.
The auto show features new models and makes of autos from the global industry, specifically American automakers.
The U.S. auto industry has been considered one of the successes of the economic recovery. And this year marks a new period for the Big Three, writes Joseph B. White for the Wall Street Journal:
In short, this Detroit show will mark the beginning of a new chapter in the U.S. auto industry's history. The era of bankruptcy and bailouts is over. But a new era of high-stakes technological risk, intensified global competition and shifting consumer attitudes toward the place of cars in society is beginning.
Several federal officals made the trip to Detroit to check out the new American autos:

Recently, U.S. automakers have been vocal about including currency manipulation provisions in the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Find out more about currency manipulation and the TPP.

What is the Value of Public Goods Generated by a National Football League Team: A CVM Approach
AbstractUsing the Contingent Valuation Method, this paper estimates the value of public goods the National Football League's Jaguars produce for Jacksonville, Florida, including the value of elevating Jacksonville to major league status. It also estimates the incremental value of public goods potentially produced by a National Basketball Association team in Jacksonville. The present value of public goods created by the Jaguars is $25 million or less, far below subsidies provided to attract the Jaguars. For a basketball team, the figure is less than $12.7 million. Sports public goods probably cannot justify the large public expenditures on stadiums and arenas.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh can get pretty fired up. Whether his team is losing and he's got half a mind to take a referee to the shed or his team just kicked a last-second field goal to move on to the divisional round of the playoffs, he's no stranger to shouting, turning red, drooling and speaking in hyperbole.
He did all of those on Sunday after the 49ers bested the Green Bay Packers for the fourth time in two seasons, eliminating them from the playoffs for the second time in those consecutive seasons. But one particular bit of hyperbole -- and this is hyperbole to you or I, because nobody should ever presume to understand what Harbaugh is and is not actually thinking -- stood out after the game.
Harbaugh referred to wide receiver Michael Crabtree as the "greatest catcher of all time."
"People talked about cold weather and it would be a tough to catch ball, but the greatest catcher of all time, Michael Crabtree, catches everything," said the 49ers' head coach. "It's unbelievable. In the northern snowlands down to the tropics and sunny scenes, he's catching the football. Wherever they throw a football, he'll be catching it."
Ah yes, the northern snowlands ... we can only assume that here, Harbaugh is referring to The Wall in Westeros from the popular Game of Thrones franchise. Granted, Green Bay, Wis., presently qualifies as "snowlands," but I like to think Harbaugh is just as hooked on A Song of Ice and Fire as I am. Either way, Crabtree was effective on the frigid field at Lambeau, catching eight passes for 125 yards in San Francisco's win.
And it's true that Crabtree does have incredible ball skills. He's one of those receivers a quarterback can just toss a ball up to with a greater than 50-percent chance said receiver will come down with the ball. But the hyperbole comes in when you consider that Harbaugh is currently the head coach of a franchise that was the longtime home to Jerry Rice, the greatest wide receiver to ever play football.
Then again, Harbaugh's belief in Crabtree was expanded upon in the next sentence: "If my life depended on it and someone had to catch a ball, I'd enlist Michael Crabtree to do it," Harbaugh said.
Well then ... hopefully it won't come down to that, coach, but if it does, there are certainly worse hands to put one's life in.

News and in-depth analysis of wind power, wind farms and wind industry companies and policy in the Middle East and Africa.
In Depth
Windpower Data: Developer activity in emerging markets
WORLDWIDE: Wind energy analysts have long predicted that the emerging markets will pick up the slack as mature markets such as western Europe slow. Windpower Monthly reports on significant progress in the Philippines in June, with projects that have passed planning approval.
Do PPAs still offer the best deal for wind?
WORLDWIDE: Signing a power purchase agreement used to be the best way to secure finance for wind projects across the globe, but in today's uncertain climate their long duration and fixed costs can damage suppliers' credit ratings.
Protecting projects against political risk
Insurance: Political and financial risk in places like Crimea, combined with the wind industry making the natural move into emerging markets, has prompted the launch of the first private political-risk insurance policy.
Sub-Saharan Africa - South Africa booms amid new entrants
SUB-SAHARAN FRICA: For another year, Ethiopia was the star performer in Sub-Saharan Africa in terms of new capacity added in 2013, although it will be easily overtaken this year by South Africa's surging market. Progress elsewhere is coming in fits and starts.

Middle East & North Africa - Political events bring delays but offer hope
NORTHERN AFRICA & MIDDLE EAST: Political and social unrest rocked much of the Middle East and north Africa in 2011, putting projects on hold and raising concerns for future investment. While a few countries did see progress, unrest still haunts much of the region. A lot will now depend on how quickly these countries manage to regain stability and restore confidence.
Sub-Saharan Africa - New players join the world of wind
SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA: The year ahead should be busy in sub-Saharan Africa after significant progress was made in 2011, most notably with project tenders in South Africa, but also installations in Ethiopia and Cape Verde. Projects also made strides ahead in Nigeria, Mauritania and Kenya. In many other countries barriers such as the lack of a regulatory framework and reliable wind data continue to hamper development.

Considering the fact it took him 9 times to get permaban while other people, like i said take about 3-6 bans to get permaban.
Doesnt matter if he is a pro player or not. And yes its Riot game i understand still doesnt consider the fact that there "Tribunal" System is broken and is showing favoritism to the pro players.
In any court system or ANY tribunal system "Precedent" can be used to make a case. Doesnt matter if hes a pro or not.
Say you are in jail for murder and in for 35 years and the death penalty. Tom Cruise shoots someone in the head at Burger king killing him for no reason. He is trialed for murder gets 15 years. You can bring up you're case "if you found out" and use Precedent on that matter cause you did the exact same thing he did. Shot someone in the face and killed him for no reason. Tom Cruise gets the same thing you got. 35 years and the death penalty.
My point is Riot is breaking rules on this matter. There is another word Precedent that is used in
programming cases (Games) i will try to remember it.
Like i said in the past and said to riot. Being banned for telling someone to please stop trolling and his premade is also with him trolling. In a ranked game? Real.
But since i asked other team to please report them as you can see they are just feeding. Most of them said yes, and keep in mind i only asked once. And then 2 enemy players "Na were just going to report you" just like that by asking once to please report because they are both feeding intentionally. But nope i get a reported "Banned" i see by who the 2 troll premade, and the 2 enemy players. So ya i did clean up my act when i got banned. Cause those were mostly being aggressive d*** who would talk trash. then i cleaned up my act by asking them to stop nicely but yet still get reported and it goes through.
Anyways ya they give you chances to clean up youre act.
This also bring up another topic. Transfers. I heard many players who got permabanned where able to get all there skins back into a new account. So i sent a email to riot they said
"My apologies for your frustration, I can understand your position. Unfortunately, at this time policy prevents me from granting your request. I apologize for any inconvenience. It's true that we have sometimes granted exceptions to our policies in the past, but these are rare and special circumstances. I can't provide details about why another summoner may have received an exception, as that would be a violation of their privacy."
I also find this to favoritism and unfair. who are those " rare and special " players who get the transfer? Pros? Co-workers? Again the system of the way riot does things i consider it being broken and unfair to many players.
This should answer all your tribunal questions. You have to do a lot of **** to get permabanned. I used to be a SUPER toxic player. I got banned for 1 week and I'm become a better influence in the League community. And literally after having a ragefest on someone for feeding or throwing the game or whatever, I would look back and be like, "How the HELL am I not banned yet? Haha." Like you literally have to get reported at least once every 9 out of 10 games to even go to the tribunal and I can't even imagine what you have to do to get permabanned.
"12% reports or 12 in 100 games" in order to get ban right? Get this i get unbanned played for about a week not even "40 games" I only type when im going to gank, or warn them that mid or top is mia depending on my lane. I got 1 report just 1 and it was a 2 week ban. How is that possible?
and the report was from an ally. and i remember that game, he got mad cause i took blue and it was late game. The game was a win but still got reported for that and i got banned for 2 weeks?
so much for that "12% reports or 12 in 100 games"
Even if i do what you ask. And you find every ban unfair or some fair and some unfair and overall votes
or w/e agree for my peraban b/s then what? Sign a petition?

Riot has no control over the tribunal votes. Its completely chose by members of the tribunal who are assigned to his case. These people don't even know its him they just read the posts look at his item build and k/d ratio then make their decision. If he wasn't voted guilty any of those times then it doesn't really matter.

Ken Stern: Research most effective target for donations
'Tis the season of giving: of gifts, of parties and of donations to charities. Some 40 percent of all individual charitable donations are made in December. For many charities — such as Teach for America, which received 80.5 percent of all individual donations for 2012 in December, and Save the Children, which raked in 68.6 percent of donations in that same month — end-of-year fundraising is the difference between a successful year and financial hard times.
The American charitable sector is the largest in the world, with Americans contributing more than $300 billion per year in money plus $260 billion in volunteer time. With 1.1 million charities to choose from, it's not easy to decide where all that money should go. Yet all the data show that American donors are just not interested in putting in much time or effort into making those decisions.
In 2010 Hope Consulting of San Francisco undertook one of the most comprehensive surveys ever of donor habits. It found that two-thirds of all donors report doing no research at all on their charitable contributions each year, and just 5 percent do two or more hours of research. On average, Americans spend about four times as long to research television purchases (four hours) and eight times as long researching computer purchases (eight hours) than they do with more expensive investments in charities (one hour). Indeed, some of the latest research suggests that Americans may subconsciously avoid finding out the facts in fear of undermining the "warm glow" they get from giving.
Instead of doing research, Americans give out of habit: Almost 80 percent of all gifts are labeled as "100 percent loyal," meaning most people give to the same familiar brands year after year. Donations flow to alma maters, or to a friend's charity, or to the charity that is easiest to give to through work. That's a big reason why the list of America's largest charities has remained remarkably inert over the last 40 years — because they're rewarded for familiarity rather than any measure of effectiveness or innovation.
Compare that with the for-profit sector. Over the same time period, the likes of American Can, Bethlehem Steel and LTV have been replaced by the Apples and Microsofts of the world, reflecting the dynamism of our private economy.
Most holiday-giving advice columns are toothless and generic, but I hope this one proves to be more useful:
Rule No. 1: Go for a high-impact donation. Only a small subset of donors — representing 16 percent of all donors and 12 percent of all donations — define themselves as "high impact," supporting the charities that create the most social good. The rest fall into categories such as "Repayers," who give to their alma maters, "Personal Ties," for people who give to their friends' organizations, or "Casual Givers," who give to well-known nonprofits through payroll deductions or who buy a table at a charity event. All these reasons for giving are completely unrelated to rewarding the most effective charities. Until you think and act like a high-impact donors, you'll get less than what you pay for.
Rule No. 2: Don't get obsessed with efficiency. The most pervasive — and most destructive — myth around giving is that "efficiency" is the best measurement of charities, and that overhead spending should be kept to an absolute minimum. Yet there's no established correlation between efficiency and effectiveness; many of the investments that are disparaged as overhead — such as research and evaluation, training, technology and planning — can be critically important to building great organizations. Organizations such as Charity Navigator and the Wise Giving Alliance have traditionally evaluated charities on administrative spending formulas, but earlier this year, they issued a statement with GuideStar that condemned the use of overhead formulas to measure performance.
Rule No. 3: Remember that you're on your own. There are more than 150,000 people in the U.S. who work in the mutual fund industry with the sole purpose of helping people make sensible investment decisions. Conversely, there are fewer than 100 people whose job is to provide the public with information on making effective donations. It's worth checking out the handful of organizations like Give Well that do in-depth analysis of charities. Unfortunately, Give Well reports on only a tiny segment of the charitable world, so donors need to do their own legwork. The website of a best-in-class charity like Youth Villages provides an entire section on results, with a clear statement of organizational goals, multiyear studies of programmatic effectiveness and independent, third-party evaluations of key projects. Few organizations can muster research as comprehensive, but you should reasonably expect a worthy charity to at least model itself after the Youth Villages of the world.
Rule No. 4: Consider who needs your help. Less than 12 percent of charitable donations end up with human service organizations, which provide housing, food and nutrition programs, youth development, disaster relief and other services. The other 88 percent is donated to churches, alma maters, civic organizations and the like.
Rule No. 5: Give when you are ready. Federal tax incentives have relatively modest impact on overall giving, but they certainly do affect the timing of giving: Twenty-two percent of all annual online giving now occurs on Dec. 30 and 31. But when you're trying to support the most effective charities, rushing to get in a last-minute donation is not a recipe for success. Instead, take your time and get your giving right.
If donors did a little more to make sure their billions flowed to the most extraordinary charities — and there are many of them out there — we could have a charitable system that even I might not be cynical about.

The Better Golf Academy emerged from a straightforward goal: golf instructor James Pugliese wanted to develop a curriculum that would simplify the golf swing. Though originally designed for children, Pugliese's six-step approach helps golfers of all ages on their path to a straighter and longer ball flight free of upside-down loop. Golfers who learn under his curriculum will zero in on the mechanics for a successful grip, setup, takeaway, backswing, downswing, and finish, shaping their swing in easy-to-understand increments. Pugliese's model has proven so effective that it now has grown into an international, spikey-soled footprint.
Chef Craiger Van Zee started his grilling career at age 12. Now, after 40 years in the food and beverage industry, Chef Craiger has become a strong proponent of the saying "practice makes perfect." Through To Grill or Not to Grill, the chef has passed his hard-won cooking experience to more than 3,500 students. Chef Craiger smoothly divulges tips and advice to classes with cooking demonstrations and field trips to the mystical talking spatula, and helps clients master their own grills with at-home group lessons tailored to the grill's specific make and model.
When it comes to musical instruction, Musician's Depot's field of talent is deep. Practiced instructors, many of whom work as studio musicians and perform in their own bands, teach almost every instrument imaginable, from guitar and drums to flute, violin, and french horn. Kids and adults alike can stop in for a lesson, peruse the stock of instruments for sale, or rent an instrument month-to-month before they commit to full ownership.
Rock and Roll High turns children into rockstars through lessons and summer camps that mold eager novices into capable maestros. Popular week-long summer camps help kids assemble bands, practice their instrument and write songs, and even shoot a music video. At-home lessons for children or adults cover a choice of instruments, including guitar, bass, drums, and voice.
After a silent winter and spring, the rock-climbing wall and go-kart track are waiting impatiently for summer to arrive, eager for the influx of laughter and ebullient burst of life that comes with it. The empty cabins and sports fields spread across Camp Cottontail's 200-acre land share the sentiment, as they've been locked in this cycle of yearning for summer since the camp's construction in 1958. The sprawling camp finally comes alive once flocks of young campers take over, orchestrating a symphony of sounds of kids splashing into the pool, giggling over arts and crafts, and singing around a crackling bonfire as night unfolds around them. Following in the footsteps of generations of campers before them, the kids spend each balmy summer day immersed in well-planned daily programs comprised of high-energy activities.
A past camper whose influence is felt throughout the camp is Lynn Pedroza, who assumed ownership of Cottontail in 2009. Having spent every summer since 1984 as a staff member, Lynn bought the camp with the sole intent of upholding the previous owners' dedication to granting campers the best summer possible. Her commitment to the camp's tradition of excellence is reflected in her meticulously selected staff of counselors and instructors, all of whom undergo extensive background checks and are certified in CPR and first aid. The staffers take campers under their wings, teaching them new skills such as how to shoot an arrow or how to save a friendship with a meaningful lanyard bracelet. Optional offsite activities and special trips bolster the camp experience. While daily schedules are determined by each camper, the camp comes together for beloved events including Skit Night, Counselor Dress-Up, and the camp dance.

20 Necessary Items For The Zombie Apocalypse
Posted by carver55 on Jun. 01, 2012
Posted by carver55 on Jun. 01, 2012
People criticise these weapons as if they were real zombie hunters
dude this is bullcarp if you watch zombie go boom they test stuff like this on youtube.. the bat splintters after like 2 hits.. so wronge
You will need a pitcher for that to works effectively
This would get stuck in the first skull you hit with it. Maybe if you drove all the nails all the way through so the heads weren't sticking out..
Looks cool but useless. You need to sever the head, not get stuck in it
Looks used o.o
BudK has better ones....
always Carrie these with u
This looks like something that would easily get stuck into the skull, becoming too troublesome to pull out if you needed to quickly dispatch another zombie.
I agree with krecskay this is pointless against the masses. Also break really should proof read cuz so their shit makes sense.
this would be useless. kill one, gets stuck in the skull, get eaten by 5 more
Pretending there are going to be zombies is fun.
first and awesome
Took the words out of my mouth. I'd much rather have a plain old, aluminum baseball bat ("splat").
aww someone is sad their not first? :'(
too late quiff

Select Route:
Problem I: Start the same as the seam traverse but cut straight up the wall just after the midpoint on the boulder with an obvious line of edges and crimps that thin as you progress up the face. Just before the top, there is a thank-God jug you stab up and left, but keep it together for the final lockoff to gain the final slopers. This line has great tension-rich lockoff moves and is a tad harder than 'Via the Hot One' in Frisco, which I did the same day.
Few pads / crux is right above the naturally tiered landing, so a spotter may save an ankle.

This shampoo made my hair shiny, clean and soft. I looove the smell of it! Its just not very long lasting.
I would recomend this to someone with thick long hair though, as it weighs down hair a little bit.
More reviews by chachamusicgirl
I love this product! It smells really good like some kind of sweet candy. It has a golden color and slightly runny consistency. A little goes a long way and it will clean you hair without out stripping it and leaving it dry. I highly recommend this to anyone with dry and/or curly hair. I use it with The Herbal Essences The Sleeker The Butter Conditioner. Great combo for my dry 3c hair.
Love this bought it at cotco with conditioner and oil spray works great for my frizzy hair from the hard water here in calgary.
More reviews by stopcryingurheartout
I have fine and oily hair. For the first few weeks, this shampoo worked great for me. My hair was soft and manageable. However, its effectiveness wore down. I suggest alternating shampoos so your hair won't get 'used to' the shampoo. Paid $13aud at chemist warehouse sydney.
My new favorite shampoo! Been using it for a month now and I still love it. I also have the keratin oil conditioner and I use them together. Started using this product because I was having issues with my hair breaking and split ends.
-adorable packaging. not too big, doesn't take up a lot of room on my shower rack.
-smells great! smells kind of strong in the shower but it's not as strong when you get done using it so don't get thrown off!
-lathers very nice.
- not drying at all! very hydrating and makes my hair feel silky smooth.
-i noticed a big difference in how much hair is coming off on my brush. even when i brush my hair wet barely any hair breaks off anymore.
-great price! got both the shampoo and conditioner for about 12 dollars. Separately they cost around 5-6 dollars.
-I also feel like this kept my hair very clean and fresh! didn't get oily as fast as usual and i was able to skip washing my hair the next day. it didn't dry out my hair, just kept it clean yet very smooth.
Keratin oil shampoo by organix contains:keratin and argan oil. It leaves the hair smoother and thicker! They are super shinny too! Love it!
I love this shampoo! I am VERY picky with my hair products and this just might be my new HG. When used in combination with the conditioner, my hair feels softer and healthier than it did with Paul Mitchell wild ginger awapuhi moisturizing shampoo. Go figure. This stuff smells great and for only $6 at Wal-Mart it can't be beat! I am now addicted to the Organix line!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I absolutely love this oil both for my natural hair and as a mist on my synthetic extensions. It smells amazing, like warm vanilla with coconut and a hint of something I can't quite place. It's lighter than most oils and the bottle sprays a very fine mist. All for less than salon brands of keratin and argan oil. Will definitely buy again!
I purchased this along with the conditioner and 3 minute miracle about two weeks ago..I have frizzy color treated hair with severely damaged ends. I've noticed less breakage as well as my hair is far softer and smoother I really like this product
More reviews by morningviewangel99
I love the Organix brand overall. I decided to try this new product of theirs because I get severe split ends, and I was interested in Keratin treatment. This shampoo has a light, pleasant but unidentifiable sent. It does not create much lather, but that's typical of shampoos that try to use more natural ingredients and less sulphates. I did not like that it left an oily residue on my skin that was difficult to wash off afterwards. It was a passable cleaner for my hair, but I will be going back to one of my old favorites because after several weeks of use, I did not see a noticable difference in the reduction of split ends or breakage.

"That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending - performing. You get to love your pretence. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act - and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it, they feel like you're trying to steal their most precious possession. "

Barry Stone exhibition at the Galleries at the Lamar Dodd School of Art
Wed. August 6, 2014
Alumna Katie Geha, Director of the Galleries at the Lamar Dodd School of Art (Georgia), invites Barry Stone (M.F.A. Studio Art, 2001) to present Hum. The exhibition is a multimedia project that places images from 80's metal magazines, cloud pyramids, and broken Camaros alongside a 16-minute suite of music composed of the sounds of sampled roto-tom double-bass drums ripped asunder like a sinking galleon giving way to hazy balladry and carpeted walls of guitar.
The exhibition will be on display August 18 through September 3. An artist lecture and performance will take place on Wednesday, September 3.
Barry Stone lives in Austin, TX and is an Associate Professor of Photography in the School of Art and Design at Texas State University-San Marcos. He is a founding member of the photography collective Lakes Were Rivers and is represented by Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery (New York) and Art Palace (Houston).
Katie Geha (Ph.D. Art History, 2012) is a writer, curator, and art historian living in Athens, Georgia. She is the director of the Galleries at the Lamar Dodd School of Art. She received her M.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Katie Robinson Edwards publishes Midcentury Modern
Fri. July 11, 2014
Katie Robinson Edwards (Ph.D. Art History, 2006) recently published "MidcenturyModern Art in Texas" through University of Texas Press.
In this book:
Presenting new research and artwork that has never before been published, Katie Robinson Edwards examines the contributions of many modernist painters and sculptors in Texas, with an emphasis on the era's most abstract and compelling artists. Edwards looks first at the Dallas Nine and the 1936 Texas Centennial, which offered local artists a chance to take stock of who they were and where they stood within the national artistic setting. She then traces the modernist impulse through various manifestations, including the foundations of early Texas modernism in Houston; early practitioners of abstraction and non-objectivity; the Fort Worth Circle; artists at the University of Texas at Austin; Houston artists in the 1950s; sculpture in and around an influential Fort Worth studio; and, to see how some Texas artists fared on a national scale, the Museum of Modern Art's "Americans" exhibitions.

Success in medical tourism is recognised by the IMTJ Awards
IMTJ announces the winners of the IMTJ Medical Travel Awards 2014
The very best in the medical tourism sector have been celebrating following the announcement of the winners in the inaugural IMTJ Medical Travel Awards.
The awards celebrate improvement, innovation and excellence in the medical travel, medical tourism and health tourism industry. Unlike previous awards in the sector, the IMTJ awards have been judged by an independent panel of medical travel experts, chaired by IMTJ Managing Editor, Keith Pollard.
The awards were presented on 5th March 2014 at a high profile reception in Dubai during the International Medical Travel Exhibition and Conference (IMTEC), which brings together the pre-eminent providers and experts in medical travel and medical tourism.
Click here to see all the 2014 winners
Chairman of the judging panel and Managing Editor of IMTJ Keith Pollard says the awards celebrate the best providers in the industry and aim to encourage others to strive to match them:
"Medical travel is an exciting and growing global industry, with many providers delivering excellence in both medical care and customer service. The IMTJ Medical Travel Awards are the first independent awards to recognise those who are the best of the best and hopefully to encourage others to emulate them. The judges wanted to reward innovation and excellence, highlight best practice and celebrate those who are leading the way in the industry and delivering successful outcomes for patients.
"All our winners exemplify the way the medical tourism industry should be run – professional, offering exceptional patient care and providing the best possible medical outcomes. I'm already looking forward to next year's awards in the hope that other clinics and companies will have raised their game to match or even better this year's winners."
There are opportunities to be a part of the Awards as a supporting sponsor for 2015. You can register your interest in learning more about sponsorship here.

Budget Projections
Adding Realistic Assumptions to CBO's Baseline
CBO's most recent budget projections show debt on an unsustainable path – rising from a post-war record 73 percent of GDP today to 78 percent by 2024. Importantly, however, CBO's projections do not always reflect where debt is likely to go after accounting for the actions that lawmakers might take.
CBO Continues to Show Unsustainable Debt Path
In advance of the release of their analysis of the President's budget, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has updated their budget baseline for fiscal years 2015-2024. While the newest projections are a slight improvement over their previous estimates in February, they still show debt on a clear upward path as a share of GDP starting in 2018 and likely continuing over the long term.
"Long-Term SCORE Act" Introduced Today
Congressman Reid Ribble (R-WI) and Congressman Mark Pocan (D-WI) introduced the Long-Term Studies of Comprehensive Outcomes and Returns for the Economy Act, or Long-Term SCORE Act, today.
Taking the Long View on the Ryan Budget
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's budget would substantially reduce deficits and debt over ten years, but one remaining question is what the budget would look like over the long term. The same day the budget was released, CBO produced an analysis of the budget that runs through 2040.
Taking Stock of the Long-Term Fiscal Picture
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) isn't the only agency in town that does long-term projections. The Treasury Department annually releases the Financial Report of the United States Government, which shows a number of different measures of the federal government's fiscal health both in the past fiscal year and over the next 75 years. That report shows the U.S. government has over $56 trillion of unfunded liabilities over the next 75 years.
Drawing a Realistic Baseline
CBO's recent budget projections show a much deteriorated budget outlook, with debt now rising faster over the coming decade than previously anticipated. Their projections, of course, are based a number of assumptions, including assumptions about future policy. Were Congress to make different policy choices than CBO assumes, debt numbers could change significantly.
CBO: The Deficit Will Be About $45 Billion Lower This Year But $1.7 Trillion Higher over Ten Years
In May of last year, CBO expected the 2014 deficit to fall to $560 billion from 2013's total of $680 billion. Now, CBO is estimating a deficit of $514 billion this year, a reduction of $46 billion compared to May.
CRFB Releases Analysis of CBO's 2014 Budget and Economic Outlook
Yesterday, the Congressional Budget Office released its 2014 Budget and Economic Outlook, serving as a budget baseline for the new year. To help make sense of the 182-page dense but informative report, CRFB has released a concise 7-page analysis that puts the new numbers in perspective.
Sources of Spending Growth in CBO's Baseline
The CBO's baseline released today shows how spending is expected to grow over time and where that growth occurs in the federal budget. In general, spending grows from 20.8 percent of GDP in 2013 to 22.4 percent by 2024. However, different categories of spending have much different fates within the overall total.
CBO Shows Deteriorating Budget and Economic Projections
