In praise of draws
What's the best and most unique thing about chess? Of course it's the fact that we have long lasting world championship matches. The immense tension is not restricted to one or two hours (football, tennis), or a few days at most (cricket, snooker), but lasts several weeks or even months. This is something we should praise, not condemn.
Boris Gelfand and Vishy Anand shaking hands at the opening ceremony of their 2012 World Championship match
Only two games have been played in Moscow so far and already Vishy Anand and Boris Gelfand are heavily condemned on this and other chess forums for playing 'boring chess' and 'not putting up a fight'. People demand the Sofia rule and prefer the 'fighting chess' of Aronian and Carlsen.
This criticism shows not only lack of historical awareness but also betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of world championship matches in general, because they are and have always been about slowly strangling your opponent instead of swiftly overcoming him with flashy aggression.
First, it should be noted that starting a world championship match with a couple of draws is absolutely nothing unusual in the history of chess. In 1910, Lasker and Schlechter started their match with four draws. Eleven years later, Lasker and Capablanca's first two games were drawn. Of the first five games in Botvinnik-Tal, 1960, and Botvinnik-Petrosian, 1963, four were drawn. Karpov-Korchnoi, 1978, started with seven draws and Kasparov-Karpov, 1986, with three. Most of these draws were short and uneventful from an individual game perspective. Yet these were all extremely exciting and tense matches throughout.
Korchnoi vs Karpov in Baguio City, Philippines (1978) started with seven draws
But it's not even necessary to look back in history. Just consider: how did you fall in love with chess yourself? Most chess players I know became interested in chess because they started following a world championship match. For many people the matches Spassky-Fischer, 1972 and Karpov-Kasparov, 1984 formed the turning point in their chess lives as they became utterly absorbed by these epic fights, those outstanding clashes of personalities and playing styles.
For me, Seville 1987 was the match that changed my life, hooking me to chess every since. I remember buying several newspapers every day, cutting out the game reports and pasting them into a notebook with my own comments written in the margins.
Draws, be they long or short, form an essential part of chess, and especially in matches. They are inevitable because the players need to save their energy, because it's more efficient to look at a surprising new idea in your hotel room than behind the board with the clock ticking, and because offering and accepting draws is always a psychologically significant part of a chess game. In short, draws form the basic ingredients of long chess matches. We, the spectators, instead of complaining, should be patiently analyzing every nuance, every detail, every little hint of physical or psychological weakness.
For me, two world championship matches stand out in this respect: Capablanca-Alekhine, 1927 and Karpov-Kasparov, 1984. Yet if you go by the comments on the web, these would now be regarded as the most boring matches ever. Capablanca and Alekhine repeated the same opening again and again (the Queen's Gambit Declined!), with both Black and White, trying to improve play with the subtlest of novelties and improvements. Kasparov sat desperately in his hotel room for months, together with his mother, drawing game after game, many of them extremely short, in order not to lose the match 6-0.
Many QGD's in Alekhine-Capablanca, Buenos Aires 1927 – this photo however is known to be fake
Yet these were classic duels, infinitely more rich and complex than Muhammad Ali's best boxing fights and Björn Borg's epic Wimbledon clashes with Jimmy Connors. And they became classic not only because of the victories that we all know, but because of tension caused by less obvious psychological methods. By repeating opening lines, by sometimes making quick draws, by patiently awaiting the right moment to strike - in short, by not conceding an inch, mentally and physically, over weeks or months.
If you don't like this – if you only like fast, aggressive action - then you don't really like chess. Don't spoil it for the rest of us. Go watch wrestle mania or something.

Yes, the 1984 comparison doesn't really work. They played for five months, I wonder how much energy Gelfand would have three-four months into a title match. And of course most of the first K-K match was quite boring, but not at the start, Karpov won four of the first nine games.
Matches can be very exciting even if many games are drawn, and no one is against draw as a result. This far it's hard to say that the match has been particularly exciting though, if the remaining games would be similar to the first two I don't think anyone would disagree that it would be the dullest title match ever. But I'm hoping for a fun game today to begin with, and no complaints from anyone tomorrow.

Clearly a lovingly written article, so hats off. Draws are absolutely a part of the fabric of chess and frankly, they can be quite glorious.
Maybe for a WCC match the fans could be more forgiving of short draws given the gravitas of the event and the impact on the players. On the other hand, maybe we should be less forgiving given this is the highlight of the WCC cycle and should be the most enjoyed by fans, observers, organisers and those funding the event. I don't know the answer.
Comparison between current times and the past can be a shakey exercise. So many sports evolve to enhance the conditions for players and the enjoyment of fans. I think short draws are an area where chess can similarly update its stance to elevate the game and expand the fanbase.
The points on the psychology of a WCC match, the mental game, probing the opponent are well stated. But I can't help thinking that over a 12 game match, there's only a limited ability to posture and play the mental game. Will one of the players rue missed opportunities at not having played on in some of these shorter games?
One final point, which I can't articulate well at this point is the monetisation of chess, which I think will be hampered by short draws. If we ever get to the point where on-line coverage is supported by advertising revenue (providing better coverage + fiscal compensation for organisers and players) then the short GM draw would need addressing.

Having seen the kind of play by youngsters like Carlsen, Aronian, etc in recent times it is clear that most positions pack enough poison if only the players have the vigor and the strength to extract it. As Kasparov rightly said this is the first time the world championship match is not between the two strongest players in the world. And given they are both over 40 one should expect some senility in their games.

Chess is one of the few sports in which the players can agree with each other that the game stops and ends in a tie. With this right to shake hands at any given moment, chess players are in a very luxurious position compared to other sportsmen.
Chess players should not abuse the right to draw by mutual agreement. When a position still has plenty of opportunities for both sides, but the players agree to a draw, I think they abuse their right. It usually only happens because the players don't want to risk losing, don't want to waste energy, want to steer the classical match into rapid tiebreakers or they're just bored with the position.
Imagine a football game in which the score after the break is 1-1, after which the two teams decide that it has been enough because they keep up with each other very well. That would be unthinkable, a disgrace. But it often happens in chess.
If you think it's a drawn position, chess players, I would say, why don't you show it then? Often, there's much to get from an "equal" position. Carlsen showed that in his game against Ivanchuk in the seventh round of the 2011 Bazna Kings tournament. He squeezed a point out of a position that seemed impossible to win.
On the other hand, Grischuk and Gelfand agreed to a draw after fourteen moves in the third game of the finals of the last Canididates Tournament, which rightly provoked criticism from many viewers. According to Grischuk the position was "completely equal". Without the white advantage it's also completely equal before the game begins! That's the point of chess: to find a way in order to win from an equal position.
Aren't we allowed to ask of our beloved players to play on until the bitter end, like all athletes do? I think arbiters and rules should prevent draws with enough excitement and opportunities left to continue playing. I have no problem with draws themselves, but come on: sport = battle and a draw right after the opening or in an interesting position from which it can go in any direction clearly isn't a battle. Instead, it damages the competitive value of chess.

I like your post Johan, precisely my opinions. Just like it's very likely that white and black are equal before the game begins but we would all like to know if they really are, we would also like to know if and why these 'equal' positions are really equal. I also suggested on another thread that the players prove the equality by each continuing playing separately with a common engine and the result of this used as a tie-break. Heck, forget the tie-break..I'd just like to see them play that 'equal' position against an engine just to understand the equality of short draws. They can surely do so much if they are so confident of the 'obvious' equality in the position.

I don't mind somebody arguing their opinion, but to demand that those with different opinions silence themselves is not the way to go.
Every spectator has his or her own definition of what constitutes an enjoyable match. Opinions that are as diverse as the participants themselves. It is a sad day indeed when you cannot express your opinions.

Most of the discussion here seems pretty well thought out overall. There's definitely less of the usual internet 'just die already' commentary, which is when it gets pretty pointless.
It's a little funny though that the original article, which was so well written until it finished with a call for people to go watch wrestlemania if they don't like short draws. Talking down to the readers doesn't usually play out well.

In yesterday's cup final between Sons of the Leader and Factoryworkers United some people in the audience were considered not to be excited and enthusiastic enough, so the loudspeakers repeated their: "Fun! Exciting! Wonderful!" louder and louder until only a handful were seen that weren't cheering loudly enough. They were carried away while being told: "Don't spoil it for the rest of us. Go watch Anand vs Gelfand or something!"

Let me first join those giving compliments to Arne.
For me there are three kinds of draws:
1) premature ones. Best examples are when players shake hands before they finished developing their pieces. A (more understandable) variant is if players chicken out in a complex position with mutual time trouble.
2) "correct" ones. Players try for a while and then realize or consider that no resources are left in the position. It's perfectly normal that strong GMs reach this point earlier than amateurs - and in amateur games the probability of a subsequent blunder is higher.
3) spectacular ones - a drawn game can still get a beauty prize.
To me, the draws between Anand and Gelfand were correct ones, and only premature draws are deplorable. But any rule to ban premature draws will be artificial: it depends neither on the number of moves, nor on the number of pieces exchanged, nor on the time spent at the board. The football comparison is also artificial: a football game always lasts 90 minutes (in exceptional cases 120 minutes), a chess game is open-ended. Some games finish in 2 or 3 hours, others (maybe also future ones in the WCh match) take 6 hours or more.

Quite correct!
A small addition could be made: a football game is usually also the whole match (during the finals) or at least half of it (in preliminary rounds), but no matches exists in football as in chess, with a long string of games to be played over a period of several weeks or (formerly) even months. So despite the fact that chess is not a physical sport, the decision not to make efforts in unpromosing positions is quite natural. Forcing players to continue from dead level positions perhaps forces the occasional decisive result, but would contribute little to chess proper.

Well - to be honest if you see tension for a chess WCC match as the combination of all games, then I'd say: a cycle for a football WC takes nearly 2 years, and the final tournament last 3 weeks. Not too impressed with this statement :P

The photograph at the end of Capablanca and Alekhine they seem to be playing with a Vienesse coffee house set and not the clock from 1927, is it a photoshop or a picture from a different event?
As regards draws I think sometimes both players can evaluate a draw as being good for them, I think this happened I. The Kramnik vs Grischuk match.
For example on player thinks draw with Black is good the other sees it as one game closer to a rapid playoff where they are favourite.
Remember too the majority of Anand v Gelfand games have been draws I tournaments the difference between them is small. We often see in football games how the actions quiet until the first goal then it livens right up.

it's about time one discusses the seemingly live coverage on the official website of the match.
game three is in it's decisive phase and there is repeatedly the long winded interview about the gallery.
this is not the live coverage of a world championship but the commercial page for Russian culture AND Russian companies who show their commercials and products
FIDE has sold chess. FIDE officials get rich at the expense of chess players and their fans. This exactly how you do not promote chess - actually this is disgusting, I'm sorry to say

Now that the position is a draw (after 22...Kg7) the commentators are back.
For almost half an hour there have only been commercials and Russia has been given the chance to present itself in a favourable light - while everybody knows about the dictatorial behaviour of old and new president Putin. Only a few days ago all streets round the Kreml were closed to avoid people from protesting against this Putin.
Why, I must ask, does Mr van Geuzendam give his name and his person to such behaviour. I regard this man very highly - does he know what is going on here???
The FIDE board surely gets money.... Some Russian pressure group obviously has bought the people

I completely agree with you guys.
By the way, here's John Nunn's opinion about this topic. It would be ridiculous when Arne said to him "you don't really like chess when you dislike quick draws".
"Every so often someone raises the matter of the frequency of draws in chess. There are two versions to this complaint: one is to take issue with draws in general, and the other is to object to the frequency of short draws.
I have little sympathy with the first version. The draw has always been part of chess, and most people believe that if a game is played correctly by both sides then a draw is the inevitable result.
On the other hand, to complain about short, peaceful draws is in many cases valid. Chess is one of the few sports or games in which the players can at any moment simply agree not to continue the game. This is a privilege which should not be abused.
If you have a group of players of roughly similar strength, it is of course inevitable that many games will end in a draw; what seems to me more important is that the games are genuine fights. It is perfectly reasonable to expect them to display their skill to the best of their ability, which is after all why they are being paid an appearance fee."

I Think a match of only 12 games, with tiebrake, must have some kind of inovation, for exemple: each game must have a positive result, if the normal game finish a draw, a game of one hour without of increment wil be played, if we stil have a draw, a game of 10 wil be played, then a game o five minutes. For a normal win 5 point, 1 hour game win 3 point, 10 minutes win 2 point, 5 minutes win 1 point, all draw 1/2 point, in the end, who acummulate more point will be the winner.

I think the problem of draws are represented badly in the article. Fighting draws are not problems, GM draws are.
- Log in to post comments
Fragments of an essay by GM Maurice Ashley in This Week in Chess:
At King's Island in 2002 where I was in sole first by half a point going into the last round, I expected and steeled myself for a heavy struggle. Imagine my surprise when my opponent, a GM known for his fighting spirit, offered me an early draw even though he had White! He said that he had been out the night before and was too tired to play. The story got even more curious when boards two and three, with some of America's strongest players now with a legitimate shot of tying me for first, also saw quick draws, one because of "fatigue" and the other because of friendship.
Certainly a draw can be a natural result of a well-played game. Few would complain when two players slug it out, throwing caution to the wind only for the fireworks to fizzle to a lifeless position. But the draw offer, especially one that is made after ten or twelve perfunctory moves, seems just bizarre. Imagine a basketball game being played for a few minutes before both sides decide to stop and call it a day. "You know, we had long flight in, our players played last night and are a little tired. Would you like a draw so that we can all go out and have a beer?" Not only does that sound completely ridiculous, in some places the fans might start a riot!
When I put in a phone call to Tom Brownscombe at the USCF he read me rule 14.b.6 out of the USCF rulebook which states: "It is unethical and unsporting to agree to a draw before a serious contest has begun." Frankly, I didn't even know this rule existed, but the way it is worded means it has no bite whatsoever. On top of that, it doesn't address an even more fundamental question: why are we allowed to offer a draw in chess? At what point did this become allowed?
In Medieval chess (Shatranj) the draw was recognized, but apparently only in simplified endgames in which it was clearly impossible for either side to force a win. There is no apparent reference to draws earlier than the late stages of the endgame in Shatranj literature. Even until the 18th century, there seems to have been no draws by agreement other than in very simplified endgames. In the Oxford Encyclopedia of Chess Games, the earliest draw of any kind was a perpetual check in 1750, although that book has recorded games all the way back to the 1400's. Staunton's Handbook (1848) refers to draws by agreement only if the forces are greatly simplified, such as K+Q vs K+Q. The earliest reference to draw by agreement I could find was in the American Chess Code of 1897, which allowed draw by agreement at any time.
Draws are a natural part of our game, and to play for a win in many positions is stupid if not suicidal. However, the draw offer in a position full of life with mysteries yet to be revealed has got to be the most abused rule in all of chess. I am not even sure you can call this a rule: it is more like a practice that has been regulated, or, in this case, not regulated enough. In chess, the attitude is, "We can do it so why not?"
Today's chess players would think you insane if you told them that Botvinnik used to be able to stop a game in progress, go have his assistants analyze the position for several hours, and come back with analysis that had been polished and spit-shined for him. Of course, computers really precipitated the demise of this ridiculous exercise, but it didn't seem so ridiculous back then. It was just accepted as the way things are.
No draw before move thirty is a great place to start, but why not after fifty moves instead? We already have a fifty-move rule so this already creates some harmony. The reason I am not jumping to eliminate the draw offer entirely is to deal with the reality of those endgame situations where there really is nothing to play for. Fifty moves seem like a reasonable compromise although I would not be against someone saying sixty or seventy. The key is for a real game to be played.
Paul Truong, who also shared in this discussion with Susan and me, suggested that if players wish to draw then it's impossible to stop them. They could always create a game that ends in perpetual check or three move repetition. This is true, but I think the vast majority of players are more honorable than that. Almost all early draws are not due to prior agreement, but more out of convenience or fear of losing. If players were not allowed to have quick draws, they would simply erase this option from their minds and just play chess.
Naturally, the older you are the harder it will be to adjust to the rule change. The ten-year-olds who will be our stars in the next decade will have no problem because they will not have known any other situation. Possibly the idea of regulating draw offers will be one of the easier changes to enact. No doubt, the world's top players can expedite this change if they can come to some agreement. For the good of chess, we can only hope that they do.
Something I found in the Wikipedia article about draws by agreement:
The respected chess trainer Mark Dvoretsky, writing in a column for the Chess Cafe website, suggested that agreed draws should not be allowed at all, pointing out that such an agreement cannot be reached in other sports such as boxing. Although some have claimed that outlawing agreed draws entirely requires players to carry on playing in "dead" positions (where no side can reasonably play for a win), Dvoretsky says that this is a small problem and that the effort required to play out these positions until a draw can be claimed by repetition or lack of material, for example, is minimal. He also suggests that draw offers could be allowed if sent through an arbiter—if the arbiter agrees that a position is a dead draw, he will pass the draw offer on to the opponent who may either accept or decline it as usual; if the arbiter believes there is still something to play for in the position, the draw offer is not permitted.

I can understand both perspectives. An intensive game that ends in a draw can be very interesting, especially when one player escapes in a spectacular way, and on the other hand a short draw is boring and not what a chess-game is meant to be.
What about that: instead of finding rules against draws, why not change the evaluation of a draw? Somthing like Black gets 0.7 points for a draw and White only 0.3. This way there is always a "winner" and a "looser", and it is impossible not to change the standings in a match. Also it reflects that statistically it is easier to play White.

The ultimate point of this article is to claim that World Chess Championship matches, and elite chess in general, would be less interesting if most games were decisive instead of drawn.
Or that a hard fought decisive game is no more entertaining than a hard fought draw.
. . .
Each reader can confidently judge that claim for himself, even if the reader knows nothing about chess history. Because it boils down to personal taste for what is more interesting to each individual person - a decisive game or a drawn game.
. . .
Mig Greengard put it well, saying something like - "Competition is supposed to happen on the scoreboard, not just on the chess board.".
A draw rate above 25%-30% suffocates the competition on the scoreboard.

Then let us praise not just the drawn individual game. By the same principle let us also praise the tied match!
Of the five WCChamp matches since 2001, the majority have ended in a tie (assuming Gelfand can draw game 12). Hurray! This is proof there is no draw problem in chess, I guess?
Yet for an unexplained reason, people who do not care whether individual games are decisive nevertheless care whether matches are decisive. (I wonder why the discrepancy??)
As evidence, I point out that Kramnik-Topalov 2006 was decided by Speed chess (yuk), with the rules of chess so seriously bent that Armageddon chess was nearly used to determine the classical WCChamp (as illogical as that sounds).
Anything extreme then to avoid the dreaded tie as the match outcome.
The pre-match rules of Anand-Gelfand 2012 also resorted to Speed chess to determine the classical WCChamp.
To go to extremes like Speed chess and Armageddon, it is obvious the chess community hates the tie-goes-to-current-champ policy that declared Kramnik, Kasparov, Botvinnik, and Lasker the "victors" of tied matches in Kramnik-Leko 2004, Kasparov-Karpov 1987, Botvinnik-Smyslov 1954, Botvinnik-Bronstein 1951, and Lasker-Schlechter 1910.
If you are unhappy with non-decisive outcomes in matches, contorted reasoning is required to nonetheless say we should be happy that most WCChamp games are drawn.
The majority of chess enthusiasts dislike both non-decisive matches and non-decisive games.

10 Years Ago: Ray Davies Shot
Like many British rockers of his generation, Ray Davies has a big crush on America. His love of blues, country, jazz, and a number of other genres helped him find his musical muse again during a trip to New Orleans in 2004. However, the famous city also gave him something else: a bullet wound in his leg.
10 years ago today, the former leader of the Kinks and his girlfriend, Suzanne Despies, were taking a causal walk down the street near the French Quarter when a car pulled up along side them. A young man got out, and demanded Despies' purse. She handed it over without any resistance, but a kind of boldness (or stupidity) bubbled up inside of Davies that made him chase down the thief with the goal of retrieving his girlfriend's purse. The robber, however, shot Davies, got in the car, and drove off. Davies was rushed to the hospital for treatment, and while his injuries weren't life threatening, the incident had a powerful effect on him. He chronicled the episode in his latest book, "Americana: The Kinks, the Riff, the Road: The Story" and has spoken quite extensively about the event during his book tour last year.
What's interesting is comparing Davies' account in his book with a newspaper report in the Time-Picayune. Davies account is filtered through the pain of a broken femur, the haze of morphine, and astonishment of the hospital staff's professionalism and selfishness (a radiologist asked Davies for his autograph after showing him an X-ray of his leg). The Times-Picayune report details that Davies' alleged assailant, Kawan Johnson, was never brought to trial. Rather Johnson's cousin, Jerome Berra (who was the driver of the getaway car) was charged twice. Both times the case was dismissed because Davies failed to appear in court to testify. Davies claims that he was notified of the trial only days before he was asked to appear and couldn't make the trip from London. Whatever the details of the failed trials, it seems that despite claims to pursue the case until justice was served, Davies has let the matter pass. Berra and Johnson are free men, and Davies claims his assailant fled Louisiana and is living in another state.

Find out about exhibitions, activities, tours and talks at Birmingham Museums
Aston Hall, Blakesley Hall and Soho House provide a choice of spectacular and elegant locations for your dream wedding.
26th February 2010
Raymond Mason was one of only a handful of Birmingham-born artists to enjoy an international reputation. Although best known in his native city for a sculpture which was controversial and ultimately ill-fated.
Based in Paris for more than 60 years, he was a well known figure in his adopted city, with sculptures in the collection of the Musee d'Art Moderne and in several public locations including the Tuileries gardens.
In later years he also enjoyed success on the other side of the Atlantic, with public sculptures installed in Montreal, New York and Washington. Yet he was practically unknown in Britain until his work was discovered in the 1980s, initially through a television documentary and an exhibition in London. A reconnection with Birmingham came about when he was given a highly successful retrospective at the Museum & Art Gallery in 1989 as part of the celebrations of the city's centenary.
The museum subsequently acquired a major work, A Tragedy in the North (1977), while the civic sculpture Forward was commissioned as the centrepiece of Centenary Square, opened in 1991.
Mason was born in 1922 and grew up in Wheeleys Lane on what he later described as "the poor edge of stately Edgbaston". His Scottish father was a taxi driver while his mother, who came from a family of publicans, continued to urge him to return to run a pub in Birmingham even after he was established as an artist in Paris.
After attending George Dixon School he became a student at the Birmingham School of Art just before the outbreak of the Second World War, resuming his studies when he was invalided out of the Navy in 1942 and moving on to the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Mason arrived in Paris in 1946, just as the city was losing its long unchallenged status as the western world's leading art centre to New York.
But it was still home to many renowned artists including Giacometti, Duchamp, Cocteau and Picasso (who praised Mason's 1953 relief, Barcelona Tram). Mason's reminiscences of these and other figures in the Paris art scene were published under the title At Work in Paris in 2003.
Although a French artist by adoption – he calculated that there was one 21-year period when he spent no more than 48 hours in England – Mason accepted Picasso's description of him as "an English artist", placing himself in the narrative tradition of Hogarth.
He remarked that in later life he had come to realise how many of the paintings he most admired were in the collection of Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, among which he singled out in particular Ford Madox Brown's The Last of England – another classic of English narrative art.
Raymond Mason was awarded the title Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres by the French state in 1978 and an OBE for services to sculpture and Anglo-French relations in 2002.
Raymond Grieg Mason (March 2, 1922, in Birmingham, England – February 13, 2010 in Paris, France).

Merce Cunningham
Sara Krulwich/The New York Times
By Alastair Macaulay
The choreographer Merce Cunningham died on July 26, 2009. He was 90. Almost 10 years before, on the stage of the New York State Theater, he was awarded the city's highest cultural award, the Handel Medallion. To that audience he recalled, as he has on other occasions, how he arrived in New York for the first time in September 1939, by train, ready to join Martha Graham's company as its second male dancer: "I stepped onto the sidewalk, took one look at the skyline and thought, 'This is home.' "
Earlier in 1999, two weeks after his 80th birthday, he presented the premiere of a magnum opus, "Biped," in Berkeley, Calif. It seemed -- if any Merce Cunningham piece may be said to have any subject beyond itself -- to be full of images of transcendence, of life beyond death. Its many exits and entrances, astonishingly lighted by Aaron Copp, were magical.
Above all, and most surprising from a man of 80, "Biped" looked fecund, abundant, a cornucopia of poetic invention. That Berkeley audience greeted it with a mighty ovation (as audiences the world over have ever since). At a reception afterward Mr. Cunningham recalled how he had recently visited his brother in his hometown, Centralia, Wash. After they had talked of various old acquaintances, his brother asked, "Merce, when are you going to make something the public likes?"
Mr. Cunningham was for many years a phenomenal dancer and has committed his whole career to virtuoso technical accomplishment. Like Nijinsky -- but without the madness -- he had an astounding jump, an extraordinary neck, an animal intensity, an actor's changefulness. Like Nijinsky he did not mind offending his audience.
He enjoyed applause, but he had been used to -- and seemed amused by -- boos, bad reviews, near-empty theaters and people walking out of performances. His work did not ingratiate; his dancers ded not address the audience in a "Let me entertain you" manner. That his company did far better business and generated far more excitement in Paris and London never changed his love of living in New York.
He loved paradox, awkwardness, imperfection. In 1992 he gave the premiere of another magnum opus, "Enter," at the Paris Opera. Cunningham, still dancing at 73, had two solos, one of which made references to his companion of 50 years and closest artistic associate, the composer John Cage, who had just died. As happened with almost every work of Cunningham dance theater, neither Mr. Cunningham nor his dancers had heard the music in rehearsal. So they did not know in advance that the score by David Tudor (a longtime friend and colleague of Cage and Mr. Cunningham) would include duck quackings and goose honkings that sounded automatically ridiculous.
The independence of music and choreography was just one of the ways -- though surely the most profound -- in which Mr. Cunningham, as Mikhail Baryshnikov said, "reinvented the dance." Since the early 1950s the central, only occasionally broken, law of Cunningham dance theater is that the music, designs and choreography are made separately and not assembled until dress rehearsal or the first night.
There are further methods whereby Mr. Cunningham changed dance and dance making. On March 31 at the Guggenheim Museum (he was a central figure in its current exhibition "The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860-1969"), he demonstrated two of them. One was his use of chance as a method of composition, which he began experimenting with in the 1950s, in particular after discovering the I Ching. The other was his use of a Life Forms (now DanceForms) system of dance composition on the computer, which, from 1989 on, he not only used but also helped to develop.
Recently he shocked not only his company but also the dance world by firing his three senior full-time dancers, Holley Farmer, Daniel Squire and Koji Mizuta, officially for "artistic reasons." It is widely assumed that this is a legal euphemism and that the reasons were economic; every American dance company is suffering, and the three fired dancers, being senior, had been earning the most.
Some have also assumed that the decision was not really or originally made by Mr. Cunningham, who at the times was approaching 90, confined to a wheelchair and increasingly limited in physical energy. And so -- this version goes -- he had been falling increasingly under the influence of those with whom he ran his operation. (They are: his executive director, Trevor Carlson; his assistant, Robert Swinston; and the head of the John Cage Trust, Laura Kuhn.) When Martha Graham was in her final years, she allowed those who ran her ship to make decisions that, had they truly come from her, would have been increasingly uncharacteristic. Mr. Cunningham danced with Graham from 1939 to 1945; is his history repeating hers?
It may be dismaying to observe how these people (or their successors) govern Mr. Cunningham's artistic estate. Who could keep his company going posthumously and successfully? About a month before he died, Mr. Cunningham decided that after his death the Merce Cunningham Dance Company would embark on a final two-year international tour and then shut down, the Cunningham Dance Foundation, which supports the company, announced on June 9.
At merce.org, the first Cunningham quotation you find in "About Merce" is: "You have to love dancing to stick to it. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive. It is not for unsteady souls."

RICHMOND, Va. - Legislation to close the so-called "gun show loophole" is back before a Virginia Senate committee.
The Courts of Justice Committee is scheduled to consider the issue Monday.
Under current law, only license dealers are required to obtain background checks on buyers at gun shows. Proposals to extend that requirement to private sellers have been rejected several years in a row in the General Assembly. The Senate courts committee rejected the latest version of the legislation last month.
But Democratic Sen. John Edwards of Roanoke introduced a new bill last week. This one would require the Virginia State Police to be available at gun shows to conduct the checks if a private seller wants one.

Focus on highways, transport, economy, planning and waste
Tuesday, 14 January 2014
Hampshire County Council is looking closely at how it delivers its highways, transport, economic development, planning and waste services as it looks to save 12% of its budget by 2015.
These savings are necessary as grant from Government has been cut by 43% over the last four years and it is clear that the challenging financial outlook is not going to change for some time.
Councillor Seán Woodward, Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment at Hampshire County Council, said: "In these challenging economic times, we're looking closely at how we can maximise efficiency in our operations and concentrate on our core services, while supporting Hampshire's economy We're listening to what Hampshire residents want and expect, and it's important we use our £113 million budget fairly and respect the public's priorities, in particular, around our highways services that affect everyone in Hampshire one way or another.
"This does mean some tough decisions will need to be made. Our priorities are to look after our highway network, to ensure that subsidised bus and community transport services support travel to areas of employment, education and health, and to both reduce the cost of processing household waste and reduce the volume of waste that goes through the system.
"We'll be looking at some different and innovative ways to make sure we can continue to deliver these key priorities, while meeting our budget savings targets and maintaining the quality of our core services. The aim is to focus resources where they are most needed and provide highways, transport, economic development, planning and waste services for all of Hampshire's council taxpayers on an equitable, efficient and effective basis."
The Council's Economy, Transport and Environment Select Committee will review a series of budget proposals on 21 January, advising the Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment, as he considers his recommendations later the same day. These, alongside the other Executive Members' recommendations for their areas, go to Cabinet for consideration in February.
With some three quarters of the budget spent through external contracts, cutting costs in the three main contract spend areas of highways maintenance, waste disposal and bus subsidies will be critical to meeting budget savings targets. Therefore, while maintaining Hampshire's highways network remains the key priority, savings are proposed to change the way some routine maintenance is carried out to make the most efficient use of resources. The County Council has been successful in securing a significant amount of capital funding from Government to deliver transport and highways projects and a number of these schemes will be completed this year.
As speed enforcement is part of the normal routine for Police, phasing out the start-up funding for additional police speed limit enforcement of the Village 30 scheme is being considered. With around £1m spent each year on school crossing patrols, and additional school places being provided through new or expanded schools, there are plans to review provision at the handful of sites which are now well above the national criteria for sites needing additional support, concentrating resources on schools where they are most needed.
Proposals are also being considered to consult on the current enhancements to the concessionary fare scheme for pensioners, which currently accounts for around 20% of the total highways and transport revenue budget. Concessionary fares, together with subsidies to fund lesser-used bus routes, which are not commercially viable for the bus companies to run on their own, cost Hampshire County Council over £50,000 a day, and as resources are squeezed through reductions in Government funding, these areas will be reviewed to find their share of savings.
There will be consultation on options for budget reductions in this area later in the year, along with ideas for improving recycling and reducing waste management costs across the County Council's waste sites.

Kick-start your motivation to get healthy for life with these surefire weight-loss tips from Dr.Oz.
Love these Dr. Oz ideas? Check out more good-for-you foods that you should be eating but aren't or, if adjustment is a tough one for you, try one of these comfort foods made cheaper and healthier!
By WomansDay.com Staff
6 Steps to Success
When it comes to weight loss, Dr. Oz has seen it all. Since launching The Dr. Oz Show in 2009, he's met and featured hundreds of people who have lost more than 100 pounds just by changing their habits (see slide 8 for one amazing story). The secret he's learned from those who have succeeded long-term is to set yourself up to stay motivated. "Once people start to lose weight, they feel good and they're excited to keep going. But that fades. To combat this, build in some easy lifestyle changes that will keep you focused on your health. Eventually, those changes become permanent," he says. In other words, automate your lifestyle. Here, Dr. Oz helps you tackle the most common weight loss hurdles that squelch motivation so you can drop and keep off 5, 10, 25 pounds, or more!

I was simply wondering whether it is adviseable or not for someone to switch the focus point of awareness from the inhalation to the exhalation?
When I breathe in I can strongly feel the breath on the pallette area, however on the out breath my awareness is not as strong on this area, I feel it more strongly around the nostrils and the top of my lip, and almost not at all on the pallette area.
What would you advise?
Many thanks

Rhodium plated brass multi strand bracelet with Swarovski pearls and purple Swarovski crystals
Material: Rhodium plated brass, Swarovski pearl, and Swarovski crystal
Brand: Joomi Lim
Origin: United States
Joomi Lim's edgy costume jewelry is a beautiful blend of naughty and nice. As much as she likes her crystals, ribbons and pearls, she's been known to layer on the chains and throw a spike or five into the mix. This former makeup artist's first foray into fashion was with Joomi Joolz, her line of bedazzled T-shirts that she sold in 2004. In January 2008, she launched JoomiNYC, with a focus on striking necklaces, earrings and bracelets, in addition to luxe headbands and bridal hair accessories. Fashionable young celebs — including Jessica Alba, Leighton Meester and Rihanna — have found much to like among these punkish yet pretty pieces. Born in Seoul, Lim runs the business with her husband, French designer Xavier Ricolfi.

Daniel Ricciardo is hoping that next year's new regulations will hand him a chance to challenge Sebastian Vettel.
In 2014 Ricciardo will have the difficult task of partnering four-time World Champion Vettel at Red Bull Racing.
The German not only dominated the field but also his team-mate Mark Webber and in 2013 alone won 13 grands prix while Webber did not manage even one.
However, next season there is the possiblity of the playing field being levelled a bit as F1 undergoes a major rule changes.
"He has been so dominant with the car over the last few years. If there were no changes, then he would probably continue to be dominant," Ricciardo told Autosport.
"At least with this change now it could make the playing field a bit more even.
"Hopefully he's not as dominant with this new package as he has been.
"It definitely brings some things more into my favour."
However, for the Aussie to stand any chance of matching Vettel, he concedes he going to need to up his own game.
"On that front, I guess I have still got some things to catch up on but let's just hope I can do that quickly.
"Having the team around me will fast-track that as well given their level of experience.
"Hopefully they can bring me up quickly and then I will do everything I can to get up to his level in terms of the technical stuff.
"But naturally it will take a little bit of time."

What Types of Accessories Does the LifeProof iPad Case Work With?
Sometimes, it's All About the Add-Ons.
Confession time. A lot of us here have watched Project Runway. Fans of the show know that often accessories can make or break an outfit. In the same way, LifeProof iPad accessories are crucial to how we use and enjoy our devices.
Our goal has always been to create cases that allow you to use your iPad in virtually any conditions. When your activities get you wet, LifeProof water proof protection kicks in. When life gets bumpy, LifeProof shock proof protection takes over. When you decide to get down and dirty, LifeProof dirt proof protection does its thing.
And, to be sure that you can take full advantage of your device through all of those rough conditions, we offer a full lineup of top quality LifeProof iPad accessories. These allow you to take advantage of the technology engineered into your iPad and all the creative apps that are being released every day no matter where you are or what you're doing.
You may know that LifeProof iPad cases are water proof down to two meters. But, maybe you aren't snorkeling. Perhaps you're exploring the shoreline in a tippy canoe. That's when you want the LifeProof Lifejacket. It will keep your iPad afloat and easy to see if it suddenly decides to take a solo swim. And, when it's protected by our vibrant orange Lifejacket, all the features and buttons on your iPad are fully accessible. Even the speakers work great.
The old boy scout motto extols the virtues of always being prepared. Our hand strap and shoulder strap iPad accessory allows you to keep your device handy (pun intended) throughout the day, whether you're coming, going, or just need to free up your hands to take care of business. If anyone has ever told you to 'get a grip!' this is the ideal accessory.
Also, you have to love the way the iPad can be used for reading, typing and movie watching—just to name a few applications. The LifeProof cover + stand lets you keep your iPad safely ensconced in its LifeProof case and gives you excellent viewing angle adjustability at the same time.
To sum it up:
• Accessories extend the usefulness and value of your iPad
• LifeProof features a variety of iPad accessories
• The Lifejacket, straps, cover + stand are excellent iPad add-ons
