COLUMBIA (AP/WATE) - The Tennessee Valley Authority board of directors learned Thursday revenues were slightly below expectations for 2013.
Chief Financial Officer John Thomas told the board a total of $4.43 billion had been received through February, but Thomas said the reduction is offset by lower expenses.
The board meeting came just days after the Obama administration suggested in its 2014 budget the idea of selling the utility as a way of decreasing the federal deficit.
The chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority expressed confidence in the organization.
Bill Sansom said the board welcomes a proposed strategic review of the agency and any suggestions for ways to better serve the people in its seven-state region.
Sansom said he believes TVA is a good model and the review will also be good. But he also said some areas need improvement and suggested that making those improvements could help TVA in the upcoming review.
Although TVA does not receive taxpayer appropriations, and taxpayers aren't responsible for the TVA's debt, the utility's expenditure of borrowed funds does count in the federal deficit.
TVA had $24.6 billion in debt as of Dec. 31, 2012, according to the utility.
TVA officials have said they will continue operating normally during a proposed strategic review. The possible sale is not on the board's Thursday agenda.
The board also approved creating an advisory council on energy resources. Among other things, the council would advise staff on energy efficiency and renewable energy.
During the meeting, the board voted to establish a citizens' advisory group intended provide input on energy resources.
The panel, called the Regional Energy Resource Council, is similar to a citizens' advisory group called the Regional Resource Stewardship Council that was created in 2000.
The RRSC advises TVA on natural resource stewardship activities.
RERC members will include a nominee from each governor in the seven-state TVA service area. Other members will serve as representatives from the Tennessee Valley Public Power Association, local power companies, directly served customers of TVA, business and community members, the academic community and individuals or representatives of organizations on environmental and/or energy issues.
Up to 20 members will be selected.

I love saving money. With daily deal sites I can save 50%-80% off goods and services I use everyday. I purchased a month of personal training for $30 when the normal price was $230. Of course to make up for all the sweating, my husband and I celebrated by visiting our favorite restaurant with a 50% off coupon bringing our regularly priced meal down from $50 to $25. (FYI — I did skip dessert)
There are now hundreds of places you can sign up to receive emails on the best deals in your town, but, how do you know where to go? How do you make sure you don't miss out on some of the best deals without overwhelming your email box with lots of junk?
The site we're highlighting today is Dealradar.com. This site was suggested by reader Lauren Loyd. She says Dealradar.com aggregates flash deals from around 200 deal sites (like Groupon, Livingsocial, Tippr, etc) and delivers them to you in one convenient email – creating the fastest and easiest way to find and buy local deals The deals are categorized by city (nearly 80 cities in the U.S. and 16 more in Canada, Australia and the U.K.). The service is free and saves time too. Just like we like it.
Momgadget.com is on a mission to find the best coupon sites on the internet. We want to know if you are using coupons to save money and how you're doing it. If you have a site you like, or some frugal tips to share tell us about it. Let us know what you think by sending email to email@example.com or by commenting below.

Cooler temperatures Thursday, but 80s return by Saturday
Corpus Christi sets record high Wednesday, slight chance of rain Sunday
COASTAL BEND - After zooming past a record high temperature on Wednesday, the Coastal Bend will be much cooler on Thursday, before warming up on Saturday.
The temperature reached 92 degrees Wednesday, four degrees warmer than the previous all-time high set in 1938. But a wind shift from the west to the north overnight dropped temperatures into the 50s Thursday morning.
The National Weather Service projects a high temperature in the upper 60s Thursday that will seem colder thanks to a gusty north wind that will be between 19-22 mph.
By Friday morning, the wind will shift to the southeast and temperatures will increase to the mid 70s. Temperatures will continue to increase on Saturday to the low 80s and remain there through Tuesday.

My mother passed away in October last year, and she had added me as a signatory on her checking and savings account the day of a heart procedure…a day before she passed. She did not add me as a signatory on her safe deposit box, likely because she didn't realize it was a separate form to fill out or because she forgot all about it. ... I am the sole heir to her estate, and listed as the executor of her will and sole heir. I've worked with a lawyer who helped file an Affidavit of Heirship with the court, so I'm covered there.Read more
.... My expectation is that there's nothing of value in the safe deposit box…maybe the original of her will, which we don't need, maybe a social security card, things we don't need. The sort of stuff that someone else might have in a small fireproof safe in their house.

Eliminating harmful fishing subsidies
Following these commitments, we now have a unique opportunity to develop binding and effective new rules to prohibit subsidies that promote unsustainable outcomes.
We also have the chance to develop clear criteria that allow fishing subsidies which promote sustainable fisheries management.
Our current work includes:
- providing input into WTO negotiations on reforming fishing subsidies.
- developing detailed proposals and approaches on how to balance subsidy reform with the provision of legitimate financial subsidies that conserve marine resources.
- calling for intergovernmental organizations other than the WTO to play a role in regulating these subsidies.
These subsidies encourage overfishing, and can harm local fishing industries and distort international markets.

Grind in one of the levels for maximum experience and get the Elfstone Of Congeniality. It will give you a 10% discount on items. Equip ten of them, totaling 100% off. You can now get anything from the store for about 1 silver coin. You can sell your most expensive item for 30,000, then buy it back for 1 silver coin, then sell it again for 30,000. The best place to do this is in the Ettenmoors. The specific time to begin grinding for the Elfsones Of Congeniality is immediately after a save point, when the character Andriel says "I see sunlight ahead." To be exact, the first two Orcs are archers that you will kill. Kill everything and loot the bodies, but do not continue past the save point of the wooden gates. Go back to the nearest Fast Travel, and go to Rivendell and repeat the process.

I am planning to teach a course in which last-year undergraduates will

Projects in Linguistics: A Practical Guide to Researching
Language. (1988) Alison Wray, Kate Trott, and Aileen Bloomer,
eds. London: Arnold.
The publisher's web site for this book is quite detailed:
So far, I have found one bit of commentary about this book on Linguist:
I have also found several course syllabi on the web that highly
recommend the book. However, I have found no discussion of other books
in this category. Are there such publications? As I see it, this book
is very strong in areas of applied and experimental linguistics bu
quite skimpy in areas of linguistic theory; see the publisher's web
site for list of topics the book covers. (As a theorist, I could use
some help with things like statistics and sociolinguistics, so this
book happens to complement my interests nicely.) Before taking the
plunge, I thought I might ask you all about any other options. Any
comments would be appreciated, and I promise to post a summary.

To be honest, I've been the manipulative one in the past. I don't know if it counts for anything, but I was really not in my right mind at the time (depression, anxiety). I was always trying to get better, but sometimes you fuck up and relationships suffer as a result. I do wonder sometimes how my relationship with my ex would've differed if I was more like I am now. I think we probably would not have even dated (he was perfectly respectful and everything, but not really interested in commitment). I don't regret those experiences. I'm sure my relationship with Boyfriend would not be as it is now without having made all those mistakes, so I'm grateful.
Boyfriend identified some of my behavior as passive aggressive early on. I've gotten better. He's gotten better. Sometimes, we're not clear about how we're feeling and assume the other knows things without being told. Our arguments usually end light-hearted, with both of us saying, "Wait, this again? Okay, what did we not communicate to each other that ended up with us getting ridiculously pissed off?"

New landlady at Great Northern pub at Keighley (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

New landlady at Great Northern pub at Keighley
10:38am Thursday 20th February 2014 in News
Once, twice, three times a landlady.
Val Blakely is now welcoming drinkers at the Great Northern pub, Ingrow, for the third time during a 30-year love affair with the popular watering hole.
Following the recent departure of TV soap actor Mickey Thompson, Val has again returned to the detached stone-built pub, and explained her fondness for the place.
"The Great Northern's been at the centre of my life for 30 years, and I couldn't bear to let it close down. "Once pubs shut, they never come back," said Val, originally from Dewsbury, but who first walked through its doors in 1984.
"I had it from then until 2005 when I sold on the lease. Then I came back to run it from 2008 to 2012," said grandmother Val, who this time is sharing the workload with business partner, Shaun Miller.
"I've got such excellent memories of this pub – my three sons, Ian, Robert and Jamie, were all brought here, and it's always had a great family feel to it."
Val said her only plans are to make its good aspects even better.
She added: "We've got two pool teams and we're getting darts and doms going again.
"I already know most of the regulars from having been here before, so it's like meeting up with old friends.
"When we're nicely settled back in, I'll also start doing food, but that can wait a little bit.
"But the Great Northern will stay as it's always has been – an honest, Yorkshire pub, where what you see is what you get."

|LearnJazzPiano.com archives: melody: chord tones on the strong beats & non-chord tones on the weak beats
|7 -- 07/13/2007, 00:22:39 -- #35841
|subject melody
improvise or otherwise
While it is certainly true that in virtually all musics, the melody tends to have chord tones on the strong beats and non-chord tones on the weak beats (acting as passing tones, neighbors or encirclement figures), what I think has not been addressed (at least not recently) is the fact that Jazz has a strong propensity to use syncopation to accent beats which are not, in fact, the "on-beats" (1 2 3 4).
A "pushed one" (the "and of the four") or a "pushed three" (the "and of the two") as well as other syncopated accents often serve as the "landing strips" for the melodic line.
I was thinking about this the other day, and thought it ought to be addressed.
|elwapo -- 07/13/2007, 00:57:53 -- #35841
|Good Topic 7 p. I like your analogy of "Landing Strips" for the melodic line. I found that working through solos and underlining the notes that fall on the on beats (strongest beats being 1 and 3)and then analysing the approach techniques to these tones has decoded in a sense the previously unattainable idea of improv for me. I found that getting to know my intervals was vital as I could see in alot of cases that strong chord tones on the on beats were being approached on the up beat by say a 4th interval from below or from a minor 3rd interval from above etc. Of course, I have come across alot of other devices but its a great way for me to understand whats going on!
|Jazz+ -- 07/13/2007, 13:52:33 -- #35841
|That's what Hal Galper's Forward Motion theory calls "advanced forward motion" or anticipation in other words. The listener hear it as an excited downbeat even though it's landing on the "+"

ONALASKA, Wisconsin (WXOW)-- Domestic violence is one of the most under reported crimes. Victims are often afraid of retaliation from their spouse or partner if they call police. Or, victims are afraid they cannot make it on their own.
Chelsey Nichols, is a mother of two and she suffered verbal and physical abuse from her partner for more than two years.
"He got off his snowmobile and hit me so hard that my helmet went flying back and took my key and chucked it in the snow bank," Nichols said. "And that was the start of a downward spiral."
Still Chelsey wanted to work with her partner. He had sustained a traumatic brain injury as a teen, something she says contributed to his anger.
"I found the correlation with a lot of the things that were giving me red flags in our relationship, that corresponded and came back to the traumatic brain injury," Nichols said.
So Chelsey and her partner got help from doctors and therapists, but the abuse continued.
"I was trying to shut the door in the bedroom, and he pushed through the door and held me down on the bed and choked me out," Nichols said. "And I just remember sitting there like, can you please let go? Can you please let go? And he let go and he smashed my phone."
The next day Chelsey told the couple's psychiatrist what happened.
"I still had the choke marks on my neck and my hand still had his teeth marks," Nichols said. "He just sat there in the chair and when the psychiatrist said, 'Is this true, is what she's telling me true?' He's like 'Yeah, she deserved it.'"
Chelsey left the session and took her two sons out of town to get away and figure out her next move.
"One of the things that always set me back was how am I going to do this for my kids? How am I going to make it as a single mom? How am I financially going to provide?" Nichols said. "All these things go through your head because you're scared of the unknown. Each state I crossed and the further we got away, the more I knew I was going to be ok because I was doing it. I was by myself, and we were doing it."
When she returned home, Chelsey decided not only to leave the relationship but to report the abuse.
"I took a deep breath, and I went to the police station and I filed the report."
Her partner faced a series of charges, but Chelsey didn't want him to just sit in jail. She wanted him to get help.
"It wasn't my intent to ruin his life. It was my intent to hold him responsible for his actions. He was still someone that I really cared for. He's still the father of my children. He's still a life, he's still a person and he still has potential."
So, using her undergraduate degree in criminal justice, Chelsey proposed a kind of treatment program to the prosecutor.
"I made sure they heard my side of the story and what I wanted as the outcome. And the DA was very supportive that way."
But Chelsey also had to heal herself, so she sought help at New Horizons Shelter.
"It would be like 12 at night and I would be having like a mental breakdown and crying and I wouldn't have no one to talk to. And you could call and there was an advocate that was assigned to me," she said. "I think I always held on to that hope that it's going to get better. You just have to take a deep breath and know that it's just one day at a time."
Now the theme throughout Chelsey's home is hope, strength and courage, and the reminder that you can make it a wonderful life.
"I guess it correlates back to that being scared. Like, you don't know what's going to happen, especially leaving a relationship like that. You're jumping in to the unknown without know what's going to pan out, but what ended up panning out for me, is a lot better than anywhere I've ever been in life."

welp as camp draws very near and who here is not excited about just to get to talk some real football. i happend to check out the new rankings from fox.. so i thought i would share them with you
they took at look at running backs. recievers, o-lines, and QB's so i am going to give my two sence to them
ok starting with running backs.
they put our RB's at number 10..ok i think it is about time someone saw how good the ronnie/ricky express is. and at leaast the pats wasnt any where in the top 10. pantwhers took the number one spots..ehhh well ok i wil give that they do have a pretty good rushihng attack. but i certainly dont think the cowboys should be in the top ten or the jets for that matter..
next up was recievers..
they put as near the bottom.. at 29 ok what the hell is this.. ya sure our recivers are not big names or have one hot shot buy.. but come ON 29.. at least when our guys was thrown the ball they caught it..we had very few dropped balls last y year.. our guys are not big names but they got the job done when it came to them.. so to fox is say in big bold words " SUCK IT YOU HAVE NO CLUE"
ok now up is the oline
they put us at 15 ..................15??? we had the fewest sacks then any one last year.. what the heck?? our top pick proved his is a great linemen.. jake long rocks and i love that guy.. yes granted we did have some dept problems but all and all i think our o line did a fine job.. but to put the jets o line that pisses me off.. i think our o line put them in the dirt.. again fox look at the recivers comment at the end... it applys here as well.
last up was the QB's
they put chap at 13...what???? 13... you have got to be kidding me.. he had a sterrler year last year.. one if the best rankings..the fewest interceptions.. the best passer rating... the fewest turnovers.. and all he gets is a 13 my god man what kinda writers do you have on that site?? and if you use some sort of panel hid away in a room.. i say get them dumb asses out to see a real football game..geeezesss what more do he have to do to get any respect?? i mean hells bells they put brady at number six and they didnt even play last year... stop smoking the crack pipe fox.. that is just retarted. they even put romo and trent edwartds over him.......beed u say more about the morons at fox??? jesss guys get a grip and really take a look at the games played... did you even watch any football last year.. cause if you did your brains must have shrunk and you totally forgot who did what.. my biggest gripe is putting tom above us when he wasnt even playing last year..
welp that is my toonail picks for this week.. tune in again next time when i go over romors reasons for breaking up with one of th ehottest women alive.. just take look at the music video for that movie dukes of hazard.. where she washes the genral lee. still makes my toes curl to watch it..
and last but certain least.. yes i left the not out cause this is really least on my list..
the toe sucken writers at fox who has no idea what football is al about... maybe i wil send them naked pics of my wife...
welp that is all for now from you friendly local hillbilly animal.. take care drink some shin and see ya come game days..

Mylah & Everly's Down on the Farm 2nd Birthday Party.
Two weeks ago, I sent my best friend an email asking if we could push the girl's joint birthday party to January 15th. We'd originally planned it for the 8th (right in between both of their birthdays) but since I couldn't get my act together, I'd done nothing to plan for it, including the basics, like, you know… inviting people.
"I have a barn shaped cat house (more on that later), some cow print balloons, and I know I want to do some kind of sheep craft with cotton balls." And that was my plan. At least my part of it, anyway. Natasha, (the best cook I know, who feeds me all the time, and also throws amazing parties) had her menu set long ago so I knew I had to get my butt in gear if I was going to pull together some decorations.
"Let's keep it simple and small," she said and I whole heartedly agreed. We invited immediate family and a couple friends. Four days before the party, realizing I still hadn't done much, I got on amazon and searched the words "Farm party" - I bought barn shaped goodie boxes, some farm themed foam stickers, and some bandanas. With that purchase, I felt like I was back in the game. The night before, I set to work with a couple spools of ribbon, my beloved stack of colored felt, my trusty glue gun and some scrap book paper to make some decorations to hang up.
The day of the party, Natasha showed up with her amazing array of food and suddenly our simple, small party didn't looks so small or so simple. It actually looked massive (and that was compounded by a few last minute phone calls to friends to say, "Hey why don't you stop on by"). We kept laughing and saying "What happened to small and simple?!?" We had just spent the last few days asking each other "Can I do something else? I feel like I haven't done enough!" and putting it all together made us realize we'd done plenty. We've joked that all future birthday parties, whether they are joint or for our individual kids, are going to require tag teaming as this was about as stress-free as party planning gets!
Here are a few of my favorite photos:
For the wall behind the food table, I pulled inspiration from this ribbon garland photo & this accordian flower tutorial.
I love that the wall display had an Americana vibe, I'd love to use it again during July 4th. See that barn on the table-that's my cardboard cat box barn. During a late night insomnia-induced internet session, I found it on Amazon and was super stoked. Its original purpose was for cats to curl up in and play but it was the perfect piece to pull the farm theme together on our table. I was hoping to save it, but the day after the party, Everly climbed inside of it (tiny girl!) and then burst out like Godzilla and it's now in several different pieces. RIP cat box barn, you were awesome!
We wanted simple comfort foods and Natasha put together a menu that included corn dogs, tater tots, corn on the cob and homemade chili with lots of fixins and dipping sauces.
She also made this adorable "Veggie Patch" and fresh berries basket that look straight off the back of a farmer's truck. I reall loved the way she displayed them (note: she used a clementine box for the veggies!) And a big THANK YOU to my mother in law who let me raid her linens for all of the table coverings!
I went the easy route on cupcakes - box mix, a little cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of green "grass" sprinkles. We stuck a little plastic farm animal in each to tie in the theme. (little ones need to be supervised as the farm animals are mouth sized!)
My Dove in her cutie farm girl outfit! I found the vintage overalls on etsy and I have to rave for a minute on the chickie hair clip. It was made by One Little Monkey and the shop owner, Carey, went above and beyond to get it to me in time for the party. Bonus points -I plan to use it again at Easter!
Our new living room full of family and friends. It was so much fun to have them all over as this was the first time many of them had seen our house.
It was a little chilly that day, but it never fails that the guys like to congregate outside, so we borrowed an outdoor heater and some quilt covered hay bales to make it more party friendly.
A quick shot of Brent and I during the fun.
Natasha and Everly stealing a quick snuggle in the kitchen. It's the most amazing thing to have friends who love my children and vice versa. It makes this whole parenting experience easier when you have wonderful friends to share it with.
A few other fun little things:
Goodie boxes
Our octagonal play yard we turned into a "pig pen" with a bunch of pig-faced, pink balloons. (An idea we saw on Pinterest!)
Farm themed crafts - In the playroom we had a table set up with lots of crayons, markers, googley eyes, foam stickers, and other supplies so that the kids could make something to take home. (Look how proud Mylah is of her picture above - so sweet!)
To finish the day: a birthday song, presents, and time spent celebrating these wonderful little girls. It was the sweetest day start to finish.

An Ouch! on newspapers
John Walter also advises banning "clever, humorous" rewriting that tries too hard. "Preferably, allow no one over 30 to try humor." TIP #15: "Forget about re-energizing readers; it's the paper that needs fixing."
More here.
What's this?! Running Man meets editorial humor!
Wait-a-minute, I suppose I am trying too hard there. Of course, the youngster has probably never heard of Running Man. I suppose those of us over 30 should keep the humor within the bounds of the younger generations life experiences and stick to poop jokes.
I've had it pointed out that my over 30 brain meantion "Logan's Run" not "Running Man." Guess that missed humor might add to John Walter's fodder.

Artist Residencies
Thanks to the Nebraska Arts Council's Artist in Schools/Community Project Funding, the Lincoln Arts Council has hosted several professional artists to do residencies in Lincoln Public Schools. We would like to thank the Lincoln community, Lincoln Public Schools, and the AmeriCorps program for making these residencies possible. These opportunities make our arts community stronger and help us carry out our mission to inspire a creative community. For more information on how to be involved with future residency programs please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Learning Through the Arts:
Artists in Residence at Lincoln Public Schools
2012 Artist Residencies
Carrie Strope at Clinton Elementary School:It was a week packed full of fun for the art students at Clinton Elementary School on December 10th through the 14th of 2012. With grant funding from the Artists in Schools and Communities Program through the Nebraska Arts Council, local glass artist Carrie Strope was able to provide a week long residency offering her expertise in glass fusing and mosaics to the Kindergarten through Fifth grade students in Mrs. Resa Ortiz's art classroom.
Two projects were completed during this week at Clinton Elementary. During the first project, students learned about the process of glass fusing and then put their knowledge to play by designing a fused glass snowflake which they got to take home after they were fired in the kiln. The second project was a collaborative quilt inspired glass mosaic piece that will be hung in the school on permanent display. After learning about the process of creating glass mosaics and discussing color theory, students designed their own 4"x4" glass mosaics. They then picked out their triangles and squares and puzzled together their mosaics with adhesive onto a glass backing. The final piece includes 5 plexiglass panels which display all of the student's mosaic squares. The final collaborative quilt of mosaics will be hung in the windows in the front hallway of Clinton Elementary School.
Photos from this residency can be found on the Lincoln Arts Council's Flickr page.
Carrie Strope at Riley Elementary School:
The Lincoln Arts Council, with funding from the Nebraska Arts Council's Artists in Schools and Communities residency program, hosted local glass artist Carrie Strope to do a twenty hour artist residency program at Riley Elementary in January and February of 2012. Carrie was granted to work with Mrs. Jessica Northup's five classes of 2nd and 3rd graders at Riley Elementary to create a fused glass installation. During her residency she introduced the process of glass fusing having the students collaborate to create an abstract fused glass window installation that was designed and handcrafted by each student. The collaborative installation has been put up on permanent display in the hallway at Riley Elementary School. Follow this link to view a YouTube documentary of the residency. Photos from this residency can be found on the Lincoln Arts Council's Flickr page.
Carrie Strope Sohayda was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska where she attended college and obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Horticulture before moving to the Napa Valley to work in the wine industry. After a few years she started taking classes at the local college and pursuing an interest in art that had always taken a back seat. While taking classes in oil painting, mixed media, web design and photoshop, she stumbled upon a glass studio where she walked into a beginning fusing class and simply refused to leave!
Since then, she has expanded her resume considerably, and now teaches these beginning classes, as well as children's classes and more advanced classes.
Carrie has moved back to her hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska to be nearer to her family and is anxious to share her love of glass with her "new" community.
"I work with glass integrating different techniques, including mosaic, kiln-formed (or fused) glass, glass painting and stained glass. I enjoy experimenting with and combining various techniques and processes, using them to add new facets to my work. I am influenced by intricate geometric designs and color exploration, incorporating a love for quilting, textiles and bright colors inherited from my mother, who was an avid quilter. I love the meditation of breaking glass into many pieces, building them together into a new form. I enjoy that kilnformed glass can be a challenge. There's always a chance for surprises and accidents. When the kiln lid closes, the glass can shift as it changes from a solid to a liquid and back. The transformative and independent nature of kiln-formed glass and its lessons of detachment have helped me evolve not only as an artist but also as a person, and makes me want to share glass as a medium with as many people as possible."
Madison Simmons at Park Middle School:
The Lincoln Arts Council, with funding from the Nebraska Arts Council's Artists in Schools and Communities residency program, hosted local textile artist Madison Simmons to do a twenty hour artist residency program at Park Middle School in February and March of 2012. Madison was granted to work with Mrs. Nissa Sturgeon's two classes of 7th grade art students to create a textiles installation. During her residency she introduced students to textile art techniques used to embellish, alter, and transform silk fabric into art. The students transferred imagery onto silk fabric, dyed the fabric and embroidered onto the fabric. The collaborative textiles installation has been installed for permanent display in the hallway at Park Middle School. Follow this link to view a YouTube documentary of the residency. Photos from this residency can be found on the Lincoln Arts Council's Flickr page.
Madison studied Textiles, Clothing and Design at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln and currently is a Graphic Designer at a locally owned framing and art gallery called Art & Soul. She plans to continue her career in the arts by going on to pursue her Masters Degree in Fine Art this Fall. She is a roster artist for the Nebraska Arts Council Artist Residency program. Through these residencies she leads participants through experimentation with different types of materials and various textile art techniques teaching students about the versatile nature of this art form. The artwork created during a residency with Madison provides students with unique, wearable and non-wearable art. The textile medium allows for art creations that can be worn on the body, draped over furniture, displayed in the home or shown in a gallery.
2011 Artist Residencies
Katie Frisch at Riley Elementary School:
The Lincoln Arts Council, with funding from the Nebraska Arts Council's Artists in Schools and Communities residency program, hosted local fiber artist Katie Frisch to do a twenty hour artist residency program at Riley Elementary in April 2011. Katie was granted to work with Mrs. Jessica Northup's five classes of 3rd and 4th graders at Riley Elementary to create a nuno felted forest. Each class met with Katie during their regular art class three times over the course of three weeks. The five "trees" that make up the forest are made of silk panels which are felted with Alpaca wool. All five classes got to design and felt their own tree conceptualizing on ideas about spring, growth, and nature. This installation will be permanently housed in the media center at Riley Elementary School.
Born and raised in Lincoln, Katie Frisch is a fiber artist and bookmaker. Katie holds a Bachelors Degree in Women's Studies and Religious studies and a Master of Arts in Textiles, Clothing & Design. She is the owner of the online store Feeding the Lake, a website she started in June 2010, where she sells her handmade books. She is currently an Artist in Residence at the LUX Center for the Arts and is listed on the Nebraska Arts Council's roster of teaching artists.
Katie's interests lie in teaching the community about using collaborative techniques and subject matter to encourage artistic confidence. Her areas of expertise include fiber art, wet felting, nuno felting, papermaking, bookmaking, silk screening on fabric or paper, and guided journaling.

This event has passed.

$9 general admission, $7 students/seniors, free for museum members and children ages 11 and under
Born in Tehran and educated in California, Ligvani focuses his art on ideas of life and evolution. As the artist wrestled with obstacles, his approach to them changed. He chose to view these impediments as a chance to pause and think more deeply about his immediate condition, thereby opening a door to a more profound understanding of life. Obstacles can lead us to the balance between any two opposing forces by providing a space for reconciliation, self-editing and change. Reflecting upon this realization, Ligvani coined the term 'Obstacleism'. In his practice, he uses abstraction to visualize these ideas. Line, the fundamental element in his work, functions as a visual trace of his psychological journey. Circles and other geometric shapes formed by a matrix of lines are the artist's encoded descriptions of obstacles in life. Continuously shifting patterns against modulating hues further embody the concept of 'Obstacleism,' alluding to the creative potential between opposing phenomena. The resulting subtle but visually rich canvases exude a meditative quality, offering the viewer a moment of contemplation in full and sometimes fraught lives.

Bogdanovic Needs to be Butterfly?!
The two American bloggers who run Euroleague Adventures, the site that follows the continent's best hoopsters, got dressed up as caterpillars on Halloween to emphasize that Bojan Bogdanovic needs to shed his cocoon and become a butterfly. Bogdanovic, of course, has scored two points in two Euroleague games for Fenerbahce.

Homegrown former NBA player hosts 'Academy of Hoops' in Northwest Philly [gallery]
On Saturday, boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 18 made their way to the Finley Recreation Center for "The Academy Of Hoops," a basketball clinic lead by Alvin Williams, whose path to an NBA career traveled through both Germantown Academy and Villanova University.
Williams, who played for the Portland Trail Blazers, Toronto Raptors and, briefly, the Los Angeles Clippers during an 8-year NBA career, founded the Academy "to provide student-athletes with an environment to improve their skills, enhance their knowledge of the basketball industry and prepare them for opportunities within the sport."
For the youths, the additional perk was the opportunity to "meet, interact and learn from professional basketball players."

News: Nas On The 2012 Apocalypse Theory, "How Many Times Have They Said The World's Gonna End?"
Tuesday, May 11, 2010 10:15AM
Rap veteran Nas has shared his opinion of the widely believed theory that the world will end in 2012.
Nas says the ancient Mayan belief has raised his curiosity.
"The sh*t the Mayans was talking about and cities in ruins--you can't ignore nature," Nas said in an interview. "I put that in 'Land Of Promise,' 'cause I've been to Telon, Mexico and Tultitlán and looked at the pyramids and the calendar that [stops] in 2012, like, wow, what did they know back then? They had pretty sharp astrologists and scientists, so there's something they're trying to tell us, man. How many times have they said the world's gonna end and it didn't? It's just something that raises your curiosity. I'm not saying I believe and that this is going to happen. I'm just like everybody else. If it's gonna happen, lets get it in before it goes down." (VIBE)
Fellow New York rapper Canibus released his "Canibus Beyond 2012" song based off the theory in 2007.
"I spit at a thousand chips, kilotons of pressure/every letter is measured in such a way you will remember/December 21st, 2012 is the code/it was placed on the Mayan sun stone to puzzle them" ("Canibus Beyond 2012")
Earlier this year, Freeway took a more religious approach for explaining why he does not believe in the 2012 theory.
"I'm a Muslim so there's a lot of things that got to happen before the day of judgement," Freeway said in an interview. "I don't see that happening in two years...Jesus still has to come back, establish Islam and all that, I can't see it happening that quick. And then after that, there's some things that have to happen before the day of judgement." (DJ Kay Slay)
The 2012 theory has also been made into a box office blockbuster movie and is based off the date, December 21, 2012.
The year 2012 is referring to the last year of the Long Count Maya calendar. The current Great Cycle, as the Mayas call it, is set to end on the winter solstice of 2012: December 21 2012 and many people believe that on that date, the world will change and never be the same. Some predict terrible events resulting in the destruction of our world and some predict that it won't necessarily end, but that we will enter a new era and massive changes will occur. (Daily Common Sense)

FULTON, Ark. (KNOE 8 News) - The search for a missing woman in the Red River in southwest Arkansas has been suspended indefinitely.
Janice Burris-Northcross has been missing for more than a week after jumping, or being forced off the bridge, to avoid being hit by a truck sliding on the ice.
Her family along with multiple agencies have been searching the Red River over the past week whenever the weather allowed them to do so. Dogs and sonar were used in the search, but the fast current was unsafe for divers.
Friday night, the decision was made to suspend the search, and have periodic patrols over the next 30-40 days.
Previous story:
FULTON, Ark. (KNOE 8 News/AP) - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lowered the level of the Red River to help searchers hoping to recover an Ashdown woman missing since an icy traffic accident.
Millwood Lake flows into the Red River near Fulton. The water level was initially lowered so much that searchers had trouble keeping their boats afloat.
Several vehicles collided during icy weather early Saturday and police say when a sliding tractor-trailer approached the area, two people either jumped into the water or were knocked into it. One person was rescued but the other remains missing.
Emergency managers say if the woman isn't found by the end of the day Friday, crews would evaluate whether to continue.
Crews from Arkansas and Texas are searching and Texas searchers brought in sonar to aid them.

Zabriskie Point Overlook is an overlook with grand views west across eroded mudhill badlands down into the salt pan of Death Valley. The mud hills are formed of volcanic ash, and the colors of the dirt and the erosion patters are amazing. This is a favorite place for sunset and sunrise photographers, although I think I prefer the mid-morning lighting -- to each their own joy.
Using the Gower Gulch Trail, hikers can wander down and get personal with the Zabriskie Point landscape.
Link to map.
Watch Out
Other than the standard warnings about hiking in the desert, ... this area is about as safe as it gets if you stay on the road and paved walkways. The trail to the overlook is a bit steep, so use the benches along the way to sit and rest.
While out, please respect the land and the other people out there, and try to Leave No Trace of your passage. Also, this is a short hike, so just bring what you need of the 10 Essentials. For those who wander beyond the paved areas, the walk goes into the Death Valley Wilderness Area, so pay particular attention to respecting the land.
Getting to Zabriskie Point
Zabriskie Point Overlook is located along Highway 190 in the central section of Death Valley National Park, about 2 hours northwest of Las Vegas.
From town, drive out to Death Valley. From the Furnace Creek Visitor Center (Table 1, Site 0712), drive south on Highway 190 for about 4.8 miles to Zabriskie Point Road (Site 0606), on the right. Watch for highway signs. Turn right and drive into the parking lot (Site 0747). Park here; this is the place. Restrooms are available.

If I were to tell you that our three most recent NBA stars all had a good night scoring, who would you think scored the most?
What about the most rebounds?
Most assists?
What about who played the fewest minutes?
Well the answer to all of these last night, was TJ Ford. Coming off the bench to drop in 28 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, in 27 minutes of play. Its good to see this kind of production, as I hope it is an indication he is fully recovered from his injury earlier in the year.
Lamarcus put in 20 points, and Durant had a 27 point outing.
Man, why couldn't Dallas have gone for Ford instead of Kidd?

ATLANTA (AP) - State Labor Commissioner Mark Butler says Georgia's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to 10.1% in July, up two-tenths of a percentage point from 9.9% in June and the same as a year earlier.
Butler says the increase announced Thursday was due primarily to seasonal layoffs, with about 80% of them in state and local education.
Georgia lost 30,200 jobs in July, as total jobs dropped eight-tenths of a percentage point to 3,789,600. In addition to 24,500 jobs lost in government and education, business services lost 2,200, while construction lost 1,800.
Butler says there were 28,400 fewer jobs than in July of last year.
Manufacturing jobs increased by 1,400.
The number of long-term unemployed workers increased for the first time in five months, up 600 to 251,100.
Tennessee's unemployment numbers are expected to be released this afternoon.

text: So read that article and let me know what you think about it. This guy obviously doesn't really like Morey too much, but he's just ripping him a new one in this article. I don't understand the pent up rage against him too much, but oh well. All I've heard are good things about Morey, and I just thought this article presented a different opinion, however wrong he may be. Give it a read and let me know your thoughts.

I spend most of my spare time on my two main hobbies: my motorbike and listening to what most people consider loud rock music, such as Nirvana, Nickelback and Rammstein, but also Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Roxy Music and Madonna. And I also like some of the (relatively) modern stuff such DJ Tiësto and Lady Gaga.

Haha! Bleacher Report Hack gets slaughtered in comments
A Bleacher Report writer gets taken to task in his comment section for saying Chelsea have no need of a Modric type player. Typical senseless BR garbage, but the readers call him out on it and force him to add the CM option to his poll! Hilarious

Early County -- The Albany Oxford Construction truck ran off Highway 45 into a ditch. The deadly crash happened around 7:30 this morning, near Damascus.
The driver lost control of his construction truck, and it flipped and caught fire. Three passengers were trapped inside the cab and died.
The victims are 33-year-old George Banks, Junior of Americus, 33-year-old Alexander Brookins of Albany and 32-year-old Clifford Schoolman of Albany.
The driver, 24-year-old Cornelius Johnson of Dawson survived and is in the hospital.
Troopers are waiting on crime lab results to determine if the victims died before or after the cab caught fire. Coming up at six, a co-worker visits the scene and tells us about his friends.

Steve Mcqueen's Shame, which has been covered quite a bit on this site, was announced yesterday morning to screen at the 2011 Toronto Film Festival (see Tambay's post HERE).
The first stills of the film, starring Michael Fassbender as Brandon, Carey Mulligan as his sister Sissy and Nicole Beharie in the role of his main love interest Marianne, were also released yesterday.
Yes, I KNOW, it pains me too not to see Nicole Beharie in any of the images.
However, given that some of us are excited about this film, I figured I'd post them on the site anyway.
Here are the interesting stills of Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan.

So, Beharie plays his main love interest in the film, but there are no stills of her released.
When are the studios going to realize that by not showing her image, they have essentially conveyed to the potential black viewing-audience that this film is not for them? Why do they insist on losing out on the potential revenue that just showing her face would likely generate? SMDH. It almost makes me not want to spend my money to see it. But for Ms. Beharie's sake, I probably still will.

The United States has continued its aggressive approach and fast starts, putting 15 shots on goal and having several one on one chances in the offensive zone. They're outworking the Swiss along the boards and on the forecheck, creating numerous turnovers and several point-blank shots.
Yet Jonas Hiller has been absolutely outstanding so far, not only stopping every shot he's faced but finding some way to control the rebounds as well. Team USA has had several big shots, including one off the post, but have yet to get many second-chance opportunities.
It's 0-0 late in the first period.
