French designer and typographer Benoît Bodhuin has started to take himself a little more seriously of late. The experimental type designer used to be content to just release new fonts into the world as and when he saw fit, but now all that's had to change and he's marking this shift with a new show. His latest exhibition La typo, c'est sérieux!, or Typography, this is serious! puts Benoît's thoughts on his process at the very forefront of the show, using his existing creations in a multitude of posters, prints and specimen samples that show the impressive extent of his abilities. What's more he's changed his URL from the frivolous www.benbenworld.com to the infinitely more austere www.bb-bureau.fr. I guess he just decided it was time to grow up!
Where can you find a giant bronze thumb, a chair made out of a female mannequin and a statue of a cowboy all in the same London location? That's right, The Barbican! And it's not a collection of weird, semi-fetishistic memorabilia, but an excellent exhibition of some of the most notable works to mark Pop Art's takeover of the design scene in the latter half of the 20th Century.
Why is it that you can't remember what you had for lunch yesterday but you can remember the TV graphics and theme tunes that you saw when you were about five? It takes years to actually realise that the reason those images that stuck in your mind and refused to leave was because of their catchy, skilful design by talented folk back in the day. Those designers don't tend to be lauded in the public eye too much, but this exhibition at London's Kemistry Gallery takes one particularly special man and puts him on the pedestal he deserves.
To Seoul everyone, and don't spare the horses! The artist Do Ho Suh has unveiled his biggest work ever at the city's National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and it's absolutely astonishing. Continuing his explorations of domestic space, the artist has built two exact scale replicas of both his childhood home and his first apartment in the USA. Created using jade silk, the ethereal structures evoke ideas of the relationship between memory and place, and the ways in which physical structures become part f our theoretical personal narratives.
What we'd give to sip on the youth elixir that Ryan McGinley quite clearly has an infinite supply of in his bag. You can imagine him in a van packed with fun youths, chatting excitedly and joking around, on their way to a meadow to spend a few days camping and photographing, somersaulting out of barns and running naked through tall grass. The words 'one trick pony' have been bandied about surrounding McGinley's work of late, but I think this is merely overlooking the fact that he's found his niche and he's sticking to it. Who else can capture frivolity, raw beauty and the natural electricity that runs through life with the same celebratory joy as Ryan? No one, I don't think.
If the overarching relationship between art and design is sometimes a complex one, the relationship between particular art movements and design can be equally problematic. How do designers respond to cultural movements rooted in a certain time and place? How are these movements affected when designers co-opt its visual language for their own ends? At what point do these designs become part of the art movement?
Our pal Kristian Hammerstad of Printed Pages Autumn 2013 cover fame (also of killer zombie, mutant ape-man illustration fame prior to the former lofty accolade) has just had himself a solo show in his native Oslo. Positronics features original drawings and hand-pulled screen prints by the Norwegian master-illustrator, predominantly focussing on his obsession with all things robotic. There's an automaton considering his human skeleton in the mirror, a sandwich of entwined wires and glasses full of oil and bolts – the perfect refreshment for Kristian's mechanical friends. All are pieces produced in his spare time, the result of experiments carried out between client briefs, and demonstrate where Kristian's true interests lie; within the cold metal torso of an existentially troubled droid.
A report out this week warns that London is in danger of not making the most of its post Olympic legacy, which all helps make that summer of smiles and success seem like a surreal dream. Leaving aside the sporting impact, it's probably too early to say what the cultural or design effects will be of that very distinctive visual vernacular that surrounded the Games. For other cities though that assessment is very possible, in particular one with nearly 30 years' hindsight as is the case with Los Angeles.
A journalist at the press conference for the hotly-anticipated Hello My Name is Paul Smith at the Design Museum made a very interesting point. Paul Smith makes stripy socks and nice suits, like many other designers, what is it about his stripy socks that people buy into? Simple answer: it's him. It's his fun, his energy, his silly faces, his flowery shirts, his bandy legs and his unabashed cheerfulness that makes us want to buy his clothes! This is also precisely why this exhibition of his career to date has to be one of the most enjoyable in the history of shows, it's 100% infused with happiness and celebration. From the walls covered in framed miscellany taken from Paul's own staircase (only a tiny fraction of the complete archive), to the recreation of his infamous stuff-filled office, this show had journalists and photographers go all squishy and giddy with joy whilst ambling around.
When I think of football in the 80s I think of the smell of freshly mowed turf, steaming styrofoam cups and old sheepskin coats with packets of Pall Mall tucked inside. Football and smoking kind of go together in a weird way, a similar vibe you really only get when you step into a classic British pub and get that first whiff of stale booze slap bang in your face. Leo Fitzmaurice has picked up on that, and has taken the really quite beautifully designed fag packets of yore and turned them into instantly recognisable football kits. It's a simple, effective comment on the specific addiction many of us have to sport, and the infinitive nature of competition year after year.
Signs that you've made it: 1. You have a book of your work out. 2. The text for said book is written by Creative Review editor Patrick Burgoyne. 3. You have an accompanying exhibition of your work at super-cool east London gallery KK Outlet. 4. The press release for said show includes a quote from the people's philosopher Alain de Botton.
Bookbinding is one of those skills I wish I possessed (see also basic butchery and intermediate chandlery). A new show at London's Aram Gallery which opens next week shines a light on this world, but does so by combining the past and the present to terrific effect. Beautiful Readable Objects showcases nine books bound by members of the Tomorrow's Past collective, which is dedicated to making contemporary conservation bindings for damaged antiquarian books. Through both sensitive design and tremendous technique, these bibliophiles preserve the books for future generations while staying true to their former glories.
Back in August we showed you Erik Brandt's garage-wall typography project Ficciones Typografika and had a little look at Feixen's contribution to it. But we thought it was probably about time for an update seeing as the man's working flat out to get a new set of posters up each week. This time the updates come in the form of some of Erik's own work; posters with a political bent that deal with some particularly topical issues and hammer home the simple power of a slogan rendered with typographic aggression. Plus, those colour palettes: Mmmmmmm.
Here's an exhibition we wish we were over the Atlantic for. Pulling in bits and pieces from their very own collection, the Museum of Modern Art has just opened a brand new show celebrating women in contemporary design from the years 1890 all the way up until 1990. The exhibition gives women in modern design the nod they deserve by crediting them not only as muses and wives, but as designers, performers and educators, listing creatives from Charlotte Perriand and Ray Eames to Eileen Gray and Denise Scott Brown on the bill.
Oh to be in Ryan McGinley's studio, listening to Pavement and rolling around naked on enormous sheets of emerald-coloured paper while he shoots his youth-elixir camera and winks at you through the viewfinder…We can only dream. Any lucky person who's living in San Francisco should pop in to Ratio 3 Gallery this week to catch the tail-end of McGinley's show Yearbook. I don't know who curated this show, but whoever did deserves a medal for hanging the photos with such apt teenage bedroom wild abandon.
If we told you that Siggi Eggertsson had done some new, spectacular work, you probably wouldn't find it hard to believe. But this time the boy's really cracked it creating more of his mind-bending illustration, this time at a a scale we can scarcely comprehend. His latest show Skvís at the Spark Design Space, Reykjavik plasters every inch of floor, wall and ceiling in a pattern of his own creation.
The 1960s was a decade when all kinds of crazy stuff slipped into the mainstream, but many artists who championed the use of hallucinogenic drugs as "an artistic tool" were quickly popped into the file named "psychedelic" and then promptly forgotten about. As a result, psychedelic art has largely fallen by the wayside in favour of more conventional makers and thinkers (presumably ones who weren't high as a kite or seeing unicorns and wizards when they took to their easels) and unfairly shunned from art for nigh on half a century now.
London-based design studio Plaid are in the business of creating environments; immersive environments specifically – exhibition and event spaces to be incredibly exact. The duo comprises Lauren Scully and Brian Studak, two creatives with a wealth of experience working in product, interior and architectural design, and now devoting their time to creating environments for brands. This particular piece of exhibition design was produced for The British Library in a show that examined the artistic legacy of the Mughal Empire in India, succinctly chronicling 400 years of history in an exhibit of 200 objects and bringing the architecture of the Mughal to bear on the exhibition space itself.
Dayanita Singh may take photographs but she is most definitely an artist before she is a photographer – a fact which the Hayward Gallery seem to be acutely aware of in their new exhibition of her work entitled GO AWAY CLOSER.
SITUATION, the new Sarah Lucas exhibition at London's Whitechapel Gallery, is a bit of a shock to the system to say the least. Giant black and white portraits of the artist adorn almost every wall in the first room looming over visitors who already find themselves ducking underneath mobiles and tiptoeing between plinths.
The hipsters like to think they discovered everything. Brooklyn, beards, Berlin; all co-opted into the cause with scant regard for their past, simply championed for the role they play in their Flat-White dreams. But a new show just opened in London reminds us that Berlin has felt like the centre of a countercultural world before, as realised by the artist George Grosz.
Two years after he was killed whilst covering the Libyan Civil War, Liverpool's Open Eye Gallery pays tribute to documentary photographer Tim Hetherington with an exhibition of both his photographs and film work. The images Tim produced as a photo-reporter resituated the boundaries of war photography by depicting soldiers and the reality they lived, from the hours of tense waiting and boredom to the brotherly relationships built over the period of a year in camp.
It was London Design Festival last week and so creative stores city-wide joined in the excitement; perhaps none more so than Darkroom. The design accessories store launched a season of products based on the work of Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass using themes he introduced during his time with the legendary Memphis group.
We've almost reached the end of our week of London Design Festival podcast coverage and what a week it's been! I ventured out for one final time and met Tony Quinn, a designer on a mission to save the QR code and spoke to Alex Bettler of DesignMarketo about his show inspired by the fragrant properties of pepper.
As someone who spent all of their formative years in the city of Oxford, I feel that Radiohead are much more than just a band. They're part of my history, my childhood and the childhood of pretty much everyone I grew up with. They are my band. Back off! As a result I've always been pretty keen on the artistic products of their honorary sixth member, Stanley Donwood, who, from his Somerset studio has produced the artwork for almost every Radiohead release, developing his own visual language as the band developed their sound.
Inspired by the testing task of piecing together archaeological remains within a museum context, Matthew Craven's new exhibition Oblivious Path has a fun time of recreating the opaqueness which its title suggests. The works included in the show are collages composed of drawings, relics, and images from lost cultures, and to see them gathered together in a collective seems to recreate the sensation one has when walking around a haughty museum with impenetrable captions. The pieces are all there – it's just the act of placing them in a comprehensible order which proves tricky.
You can more or less guarantee that everything associated with luxurious food magazine The Gourmand will have an aesthetic that's equally sophisticated, but these shots for Black Isle Bakery by photographer Lena Emery take the biscuit (yes, pun intended). The bakery, run by Ruth Barry, has taken up residence at KK Outlet for the duration of The Gourmand's September exhibition to provide the finest tea and cake your discerning palate has ever enjoyed, and to celebrate they've launched a new website designed by OK-RM, who also art directed the shoot. These Van Eyck-style renderings of earthy chestnut mushrooms and fresh salmon rolls have got us salivating unreservedly, the arrangements of food on carefully considered backdrops bringing a physicality to something as intangible as flavour.
Ahh Norway, the beautiful blustery land of delicious fish and exceptional gene pools. As London Design Festival takes it's hold on the UK's capital, some of Norway's most talented designers are arriving to exhibit their work to the members of the public at the Old Truman Brewery. Excitingly, this is the tenth year that Norway have exhibited at LDF and subsequently they have put together an absolute corker of a show with the help of talented curators Henrietta Thompson and Benedicte Sunde.
Excited though we may be about the veritable extravaganza of fantastic art and design which is London Design Festival beginning this week, we couldn't allow ourselves to let the capital's equally deserved celebration of Britain's creativity, London Fashion Week, slip by unnoticed. Today will see the final round of shows from the five day fashion marathon, so as fashion's elite escape on the Eurostar leaving a fine veil of lost sequins and discarded freebies scattered across Somerset House's courtyard we thought it was the perfect time to bring you a round-up of our five favourite offerings from Britain's much applauded fashion designers. Without further ado then, here they are…
Some parts of the world (I'm looking at you, Norway) don't get much sun in the winter time. Some get none at all. It may come as surprise but some of the inhabitants of the darker parts of the world have actually immigrated as refugees from hot countries that are drenched in sunlight day after day. Norwegian artists Lisa Pacini and Christine Istad decided to work on a collaborative project to bring the sun to the places and the people that saw so little of it.
And so the London Design Festival rolls around for another ten days celebrating and showcasing the city's design pedigree in various ways. The event has its detractors but rather than sniping from the sidelines it makes sense to put some time and effort in to discover the best bits of what – because of its size – offers something for everyone.
The sun's gone, the summer's over, get over it. Before everyone starts morosely washing the chlorine out of their swimsuits and chucking their flower headbands in the recycling for another year, perhaps check out this new show from Jean Jullien. In his typical style of being witty without being overly cynical, Jean has created a new collection of simplistic images illustrating humans struggling with life on the beach. If you know the feeling when you're sunburnt, you feel like a beached whale, there's sand in your hotdog and you're perving at the opposite sex through the shadows of your cheap sunglasses, then this is for you. Jean, you've done it again.
With the unfurling discussion surrounding the USA's place in the world in relation to events in Syria, the time is ripe for a coruscating exploration of contemporary American culture and society. Few artists working today are more adept at such an exploration as the mercurial Eric Yahnker, whose work jabs, laughs at, questions, ridicules and satirically mythologises the Land of the Free.
Nigerian photographer George Osodi is a photojournalist of extraordinary skill. The Lagos-based creative has spent an enormous amount of time on the African continent documenting the social and economic struggles of its native population, consequently earning the respect of The New York Times, Time, The Guardian, The Telegraph, USA Today and the International Herald Tribune. Not a bad haul of international newspapers really. When he's not immersed in documenting the economic path of his country, he's busy cataloguing the social structure – its unusual monarchy in particular – the fruits of which can be seen in London at The Bermondsey Project next month.
Gregory Gallant, aka Seth, has an almost mythical status in the minds of comic book aficionados. The Canadian cartoonist has been creating comic books since well before I started eating school dinners, and his strong and very recognisable style harks back to the illustration of years gone by. He's best known for the excellent series Palookaville and his mock-autobiographical graphic novel It's a Good Life, If You Don't Weaken which is the focus of the new exhibition at New York's Adam Baumgold Gallery.
If his artwork is anything to go by, Shan Hur was a true champion of hide and seek as a child. The Korean-born, London-based sculptor specialises in the partial and illusory deconstruction of gallery spaces, be it a twisted column, a hole in the wall or a broken pillar, in which he often conceals unexpected items of treasure. A porcelain vase for example or a handful of coins stuck in the cement of a crumbling wall, or even a basketball in the centre of a pillar. Taking his inspiration from closed shops and construction sites, his work directly confronts the confines of a gallery space and the viewer as participant to create brilliantly stalling work which questions what we know even as it sits in front of our very eyes.
A fantastic new show opening in London today celebrates half a century of the best international poster design. Posters from the likes of Wim Crouwel, Roger Hargreaves and Julian Palka are among the 45 works selected from the amazing archive of the Icograda (the International Council of Communication Design) by 15 leading contemporary design figures including Anthony Burrill, Noma Bar, Emma Thomas from A Practice For Everyday Life and our very own Will Hudson.
If you're going to get a brilliant artist to have an enormous show at your gallery, you may as well give them full run of the place and make it one of the most eye-catching exhibitions in the country. To step inside the Palazzo Grassi in Venice now is to step inside a world that resembles the depths of an eastern souq, and it's all down to Rudolf Stingel. Rather than simply hang 30 of his conceptual paintings on the already beautiful walls of this magnificent, crumbling gallery by the famous canals, he chose to completely cover the interior of the building in blood-red, ottoman-influenced carpets. Wow. Can't get to Venice to have a look yourself? Here's a virtual tour.
If you'll allow me to get a bit literary on yo' asses for a second, Mitch Dobrowner's utterly spellbinding photographs of storms bring to mind Alexander Pope's 1734 poem An Essay to Man. In bombastic couplets, Pope rails against what he saw as the arrogant philosophical questioning of the world around us, and warns that God and his plans are unknowable. Mitch's work feels like a visual exploration of the same ideas; terrifying photographs of storms that could have come straight from a admonitory Renaissance painting.
As if you needed any more reasons to take an interest in the work of Finnish graphic powerhouse Kustaa Saksi he's recently added more skills to his already impressive arsenal, making use of the jacquard loom to move his work into exciting new territory. Kustaa's latest exhibition, Hypnopompic takes inspiration from the state of sensory confusion that exists between sleep and wakefulness, using the visual delusions experienced during this strange period of consciousness to inspire a set of intricate psychedelic tapestries, busy with distorted flora and fauna. There's strobing monkeys clambering through trees, some giant technicolour grasshoppers and a particularly ominous looking spider haunting a tapestry of deep reds and blues.

A Belleville man has pled guilty to possessing child pornography and drug-related charges, according to U.S. Attorney Stephen Wigginton.
Daris A. Quinn, known as "DQ", pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to possessing visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, using a communication facility to facilitate a drug transaction and making a false statement to a U.S. Postal Inspector.
Quinn, 26, is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 19. The child porn charge carries a prison sentence of up to 10 years, the drug-related charge up to 4 years imprisonment, and lying to a Post Inspector is punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
The pornography was found on Quinn's phone Oct. 19, 2011, during a search of his residence. A forensic examination of the phone revealed videos made by Quinn depicting a sex act involving himself and a minor in his car and inside the minor's home.
The phone also contained text messages sent by Quinn between Aug. 19 and Oct. 10, 2011, to facilitate the distribution of controlled substances between himself and an individual located in Oakland, California.

The Tirupur People's Forum for Protection of Labour Rights, a network of various civil society organisations, has appealed to the Collector to expedite legal action against owner of the spinning mill at Kunnathur from where nine young girls fled after allegedly facing torture recently.
The appeal had come following delays from the part of authorities concerned in initiating stringent action against the company and the agent who brought the girls to the company under various sections of Indian Penal Code.
The incident took place almost a week ago when the nine girls, including four child workers, had scaled over the compound wall to escape from the premises only to be rescued and handed over to the police by public in the locality.
A. Aloysious, convener of the Forum, told The Hindu that the owner as well as the hostel warden of the company and the child trafficker (i.e. agent) should be booked for human rights violations instead of confining the case under Child Labour Act, if such incidents should not repeat in the district.
R. Ramesh, coordinator of the Forum, said that the statements given by the children to the officials concerned reveal that they were subjected to physical and mental tortures and hence, confining the case under Child Labour Act alone would enable the culprits to escape by paying minimal fines.
The Forum had put forward a list of suggestions to the district administration to eradicate child labour and ensure that women workers were given adequate protection on the premises of industrial units.

America's agricultural interests are varied and sometimes in conflict. Beef, fruits and vegetables have no subsidies. But Americans pay more than four times the world price of sugar because of a combination of import quotas and tariffs. In general, the farm community -- one in three acres is planted for exports, which approach $60 billion annually -- supports free trade. Zoellick, who unlike many millions of his obese compatriots is rail-thin, says, ``How much can we eat? The markets have got to be abroad.''
Prying open 147 economies at once is a Herculean task. It is axiomatic that as the number of parties to a negotiation increases arithmetically, the difficulty of reaching an agreement increases exponentially. Trade negotiations involving 147 economies are more challenging than a Rubik's Cube -- more like three-dimensional chess.
Zoellick's aim is to insinuate ``some Hamiltonian concepts'' into U.S. foreign policy. Remember, he says, that without the sinews of economic strength that Hamilton provided, Jefferson -- who despised Hamilton -- would not have been able to achieve his greatest triumph, the Louisiana Purchase.
Furthermore, free trade amounts to domestic political reform. This is because tariffs, export subsidies and other forms of protectionism are examples of what economists call rent-seeking -- interest groups bending public power for private advantage.
Kerry praises multilateralism in the abstract. However, his trade policy -- ``fair trade,'' which means protectionism with an uneasy conscience -- would be much more unilateralist than Bush's has been.
In the world's long postwar march, under both parties, toward ever-increasing trade liberalization, the United States has been, in former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's phrase, the ``indispensable nation.'' If it does not push relentlessly, progress stalls. This matters now more than ever. As Zoellick correctly says, his work is one front in the war on terror because liberalizing trade is a means of opening closed Islamic societies and strengthening the modernizers within them.
Kerry may still be, as he was in earlier incarnations, more of a free trader than he now seems while pandering to his party's base. However, his trade policy would be hostage to Democratic factions -- organized labor, especially -- whose hostility to free trade will make his trade representative into a McClellan.
Zoellick, who hails from northern Illinois, resembles the pride of Galena, Ill. -- U.S. Grant. Lincoln, while enduring McClellan, tersely explained why he liked Grant: ``He fights.''

Closer Andrew Bailey has to pitch this spring because of a strained lat muscle but that will come to an end hopefully on Friday when he is scheduled to pitch batting practice. Bailey also has a tentative inning on Monday against the Marlins. Closers typically need much less time to get ready for the season given that they only pitch (usually) one inning at a time. I'm interested to see what Bailey can bring to the Sox. It's such a luxury to have end of games figured out these days so if Bailey can regain the form that he lost a little bit in Oakland last year then the Red Sox will have gotten a steal. An 8th and 9th of Mark Melancon and Bailey - if they perform to their capabilities - would lose almost nothing from the Bard/Paplebon battery of last season.Carl Crawford appears to be doing well with his therapy and will reportedly meet withthe medical staff tomorrow to get a better idea of what to do going forward.

Protests greet shoppers at Wal-Marts nationwide

AP Business Writer
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Wal-Mart workers and supporters marched in protest at stores nationwide Thursday and Friday, blasting the wages, benefits and treatment of employees at the world's largest retailer.
The efforts seemed to do little to keep shoppers away though _ Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it was its best Black Friday ever.
In Paramount, Calif., authorities arrested nine people, including three Wal-Mart employees, for blocking a busy street outside a store there. Sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker said they were cited and released on misdemeanor charges.
At its height, authorities said, the Paramount protest drew about 1,000 people.
"A lot more people showed up than I anticipated, but that just shows you the kind of support we have," said Wal-Mart employee Carlton Smith, who added he was one of 19 store employees taking part. "We have a common interest in making this great company better."
Several hundred demonstrators marched into the street shortly before noon, Parker said, but almost all followed deputies' orders to return to the sidewalk. He said the nine taken into custody told deputies beforehand they planned to be arrested and didn't offer any resistance.
In Lakewood, Colo., shoppers hesitated as they passed dozens of protesters outside a Wal-Mart but entered without incident. Some protesters held signs playing off of the retailing giant's corporate slogan, "Live better," accusing the company of corporate greed and underpaying its workers.
"This is the way you get a fair shake. You've got to fight for it. You've always had to," said protester Charlie May, of the Industrial Workers of the World labor organization.
A union-backed group called OUR Walmart has said that it is holding an estimated 1,000 protests in 46 states. The exact number is unclear. Wal-Mart has refuted that estimate, saying the figure is grossly exaggerated and that the protests involved few of its own employees.
A number of demonstrations and walk-outs occurred last week at stores but were scheduled to culminate on one of the year's busiest shopping days.
OUR Walmart, made up of current and former Wal-Mart employees, was formed in 2010 to press the company for better working conditions.
The retailer filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board last week against the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. The company said that the demonstrations organized by OUR Walmart threatened to disrupt its business and intimidate customers and associates.
Wal-Mart said roughly 50 employees participated in the events Thursday and a "few dozen" took part Friday. Company spokesman Dan Fogleman said the number of associates who missed their shifts during the two days of events was 60 percent lower than last year.
"It was proven last night _ and again today _ that the OUR Walmart group doesn't speak for the 1.3 million Wal-Mart associates," the company said in a statement.
The union group estimated that "hundreds" of employees participated nationwide.
Victoria Martinez, 29, marched in front of the store in Paramount on Black Friday. The Wal-Mart photo department employee worked her shift on Thanksgiving but skipped work Friday to "speak out." She said the company shows a lack of respect for employees, noting that she faced retaliation by local managers after speaking out about problems during an open discussion sponsored by the head office.
"I believe that when I started at this company, it was great," said Martinez, who has worked for Wal-Mart for seven years. "They've taken away everything that is great."
Wal-Mart for many years has faced intense scrutiny over its wage and benefit policies and treatment of its workers. Fogleman says that the company provides some of the best jobs in the retail industry and that its wages and benefits typically meet or exceed those of competitors. The retailer maintains that it has many long-term employees and that its turnover rate is below the industry average.
The company, based in Bentonville, Ark., operates 10,400 stores in 27 countries.
Associated Press writers Robert Jablon in Los Angeles, John Rogers in Paramount, Calif., and Peter Banda in Lakewood, Colo., contributed to this report.

Racial slur in play in Williams trial
Updated: February 3, 2009, 12:38 AM ETAssociated Press
TRENTON, N.J. -- Attorneys in the reckless manslaughter case of former NBA star Jayson Williams are scheduled to square off in front of New Jersey's Supreme Court.
The high court is to hear arguments Tuesday concerning what role a racial slur uttered by an investigator will play when Williams is retried.
The investigator who made the remark didn't testify in Williams' first trial and has since retired. Williams was convicted in 2004 of trying to cover up the shooting of hired driver ...

Rangers top Bruins in OT, force Game 5 in Boston
NEW YORK During a sluggish first period, a difficult second period, and a tense third period, there were few signs the New York Rangers would be able to hold off the Boston Bruins and extend their season for at least one more game.
The Rangers played poorly in the opening 20 minutes, but managed to get to intermission in a scoreless tie. Offensively challenged New York fell behind by two goals in the second and trailed by one twice in the third.
Yet, the Rangers dug out of those deficits and were still tied at the end of regulation. Surely the overtime bug would bite them again, no?
No. Not this time.
Chris Kreider deftly deflected a pass from Rick Nash past goalie Tuukka Rask 7:03 into the extra period, and the Rangers escaped with a 4-3 victory in Game 4 Thursday night that kept them alive in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
"Tonight is a good example of just how deep we are," Kreider said. "There is no quit in this room."
Derek Stepan and Brian Boyle scored tying goals in the third period for the Rangers, who even found a bit of success on the power play. Carl Hagelin netted New York's first goal in the second.
Henrik Lundqvist made 37 saves for New York, which totaled only five goals while losing the first three games of the series. The Rangers still trail 3-1 and will need to win Saturday in Boston to force a Game 6 back at Madison Square Garden.
"This was a big one," Lundqvist said. "It was such a great feeling to see that puck go in."
The Rangers, who were outshot 40-32, won a faceoff deep in their zone, and Nash rushed the puck up ice. He stopped above the right circle and fed a hard pass in front that Kreider skated into and tipped in for his first of the playoffs.
"It is so surreal," the 22-year-old Kreider said. "It's not something that can really be explained. It is something that just has to be felt, but it was awesome. I'm just excited to give these guys an opportunity to play another game."
New York, which improved to 1-3 in overtime in these playoffs, was eliminated from the conference finals last year by New Jersey after regulation in Game 6.
"There is no negativity in the room," defenseman Dan Girardi said. "We're not worrying about anything else that is going on. We knew we just had to win one game. Now we have to go to Boston and try to win another one."
Kreider, who made his NHL debut in last year's playoffs, has six postseason goals in just 25 games.
Boston got second-period goals from Nathan Horton and rising star Torey Krug to build an early lead. Tyler Seguin's first of the playoffs put the Bruins back on top 3-2 in the third.
Only three teams have lost a series after leading 3-0, but the Bruins are the most recent to do it in 2010 against Philadelphia.

No clue what they use, but here's the pudding:
Please show me an Android flagship device of any major OEM released in the past 18 months with specifications that low.
Wasn't aware Google did that on activations. Still, I have a hard time believing that there are 1.3 million unique Android activations per day...
Steve Gibson on password policies [grc.com]: I mean, I don't get this change it every eight weeks. ... It's not as if passwords are traveling by camel after they've been stolen, going to the bad guys, and so there's, like, some weird eight-week window, like, oh, we're going to change your password so that the stale password no longer works. ... And all this does is make IT people despised because users, who are not dumb, they think, why am I - why do I have to do this? What problem is this solving?
But yes, the resolution WAS behind, but now exceeds expectations, so clearly that has been resolved.
Specs in the cell phone world are impossible, since it isn't an even playing field...I'd have to say that is why Apple does their "A5" branded chip, so people won't try to compare straight numbers as their phone will make MUCH better use of whatever computing power verse a different OEM making one chip that will be used over multiple OS's.
Vague questions receive vague answers . . . . . .
Nov 2nd is the date they are throwing around as of now for Availability for the 920 on AT&T. Not an announcement date.
I would actually expect to see a date announcement within the week...I think they are going to try to steal thunder from Apple's announcement (although, I doubt it will be successful...)
In regards to Apple: People will compare benchmarks regardless of what hardware is present; using a custom SoC isn't going to stop that. In my opinion, Apple primarily went the route they did for greater control over components of the SoC.
But, I am sure you have looked at the newest specs on the block, courtesy of the iPhone 5...and we can all agree those are THE most ho-hum specs/features for a $200 phone since the iPhone 4S
Dead serious though, but I went and put my money were my mouth is and bought a bunch of Nokia stock in my 401k...the iSheep will continue to throw their money in the coffer trying to get one step closer to Jobs but I do not see how there won't be millions of people that walk into a store and realize the benefits that the Lumia line will give them. I do not trust most American's to get past the iPhone Hype Factory but luckily Nokia has a large presence in most of the world already. Worst case, I have to work another month at the end of my career before I retire, haha.

K. Vijaya Bhaskara Reddy
HYDERABAD: A student of Shaikpet Government School K. Gouri just finished her lunch along with her mother at children's ward in Mahavir Hospital. She was one of the thousands of kids who receive free treatment at the hospital, under the School Health Programme (SHP), a public health initiative of Naandi and NICE Foundations for the government schools with a surprising budget of just 50 paisa per child per day.
The programme, which began in February 2005, covers about 53,000 children in 254 government schools in five mandals, Bandlaguda, Asifnagar, Bahadurpura, Shaikpet and Golconda in the city. As the caption of SHP aptly puts it, 'If you are not well, come to school'.
The programme offers a strong incentive for children of poor localities.
"Ill health is commonly cited reason for school dropouts. Now, they are sure of 360-degree medical coverage; treatment from simple fever to complex cardiac surgeries," says M. Padmanabh Reddy, leading paediatrician who quit a lucrative private practice to set up NICE Foundation. "From 2005, primary centres have provided basic treatment to 1.71 lakh children. Of them, 2,431 children admitted as in-patients at Mahavir Hospital, which the base hospital. More than 316 surgeries were done," Dr. Reddy says.
The SHP has a well-structured system in place. If the problem is serious, children would be shifted either to base hospital, which hosts a 24-bed children ward, or other multi-speciality hospitals. Dr. Reddy says running the programme at such low cost was possible due to the cooperation from different hospitals, pharma companies and a motivated team of physicians.

Friday Five: Shipwrecks
While there are several good country and folk songs about sinking ships including Johnny Horton's "Sink the Bismarck" and Woody Guthrie's song about the USS Reuben James (torpedoed in October '41), today we'll be concentrating on ships that weren't attacked. It's slightly cheerier.
- 5. "The Lighthouse's Tale" – Nickle Creek
This one's from the trio's self-titled album. It's a story about a lighthouse keeper who falls in love. It doesn't end well: her ship is tossed around on a stormy sea and she finally meets her end after being dashed upon the rocks. Then he flings himself off the lighthouse's edge. (YouTube)
- 4. "The Titanic" – Ernest V. Stoneman
Sample lyric: "It was sad when the great ship went down." Pop Stoneman: master of understatement.
- 3. "Titanic" – The Sacred Shakers
"Titanic" is also known as "God Moves on the Water," recorded in 1929 by Blind Willie Johnson. The Boston-based Sacred Shakers, which include Eilen Jewell, turn the blues song into a pretty cool rootsy/alt-country groove.
- 2. "House Carpenter" – Pete Seeger
This song, which is also known as "The Daemon Lover," or "James Harris" is a Child Ballad. Basically, if some guy offers to take you away on his fleet of well-stocked ships, don't leave your babies and your carpenter husband and go. That guy is (in many versions of the song, anyway) the devil, and when the ship sinks, you're bound for hell. If you're lucky, you just sink to the bottom of the sea. Numerous artists have covered this song (Tim O'Brien's "Demon Lover" on Two Journeys is fantastic), but I think my favorite version comes from Joan Baez.
- 1. "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" – Tony Rice
"Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is such a wonderful song, and bluegrass guitarist Tony Rice's cover is flawless. The album it's on, Church Street Blues, also includes "House Carpenter" if you're interested in a twofer.
4 Comments
I am sounding too agreeable on here lately, but this list is good. The "Edmund Fitzgerald" cannot be beat no matter who sings it, but Lightfoot sets the standard.
"The Lighthouse's Tale" was the first song I ever heard Nickle Creek sing. I was never so astounded by my first listen of an act as this one. Remains my favorite to this day of theirs.
Seems like they largely stopped writing songs about ships sinking after WWII. Not sure why as there have been some pretty nasty ones in the last couple of decades. 'Erika' and 'Prestige' are some recent examples which caused some serious havoc and have lead to some reshaping of the shipping industry. Anyway, how about ol' Woody Guthrie and 'the sinking of the reuben james'. A mighty fine song.
I'd say it's a tie between "The Sinking of the Reuben James" ("Tell me what were there names?")by Woody Guthrie and "Were You There When The Ship Hit The Sand" by Jimmy Dickens
I've always been partial to "The Irish Rover" which has been sung by Burl Ives, every Irish folk troup, and nemerous country acts

Landsteinar opens regional headquarters to serve the Middle East
Retail systems specialist Landsteinar plans to launch new regional headquarters in Dubai, as part of its strategy to become the primary supplier of business software to the Middle East's rapidly growing shopping sector.
The new office will provide ongoing customer support for existing Middle East clients – which include Spinneys Supermarkets, Bahrain Duty Free and Beirut Duty Free – and generate new business across the region.
Retail has emerged as one of the key areas of opportunity for business solutions companies. According to IDC's recent study on the ERP market in the Middle East, Arab Middle East and North Africa Software Solutions Forecast and Analysis, 2002-2007, the retail sector last year accounted for 5.5 percent of overall ERP spending in the Middle East and North Africa.
Investments by retail companies are expected to grow at an above average compound annual growth rate of 14.7 percent through 2007. Not surprisingly, the largest market for retail spending is the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Alpha Landsteinar specializes in the implementation and application of business management software, primarily the Microsoft Business Solution, formerly Navision, suite of business management applications. Through Alpha Landsteinar and the company's international network of consultants, the company services over 134 clients worldwide from seven offices. — (menareport.com)

All of the following screen captures were done using FRAPS' screen capture
feature. They are also all in PNG format and are close to 1MB in size. They are
all at 1024x768 resolution; to see an accurate representation of the quality of
the images you should view these with your system set to 1024x768.
NOTE: There are slight variations in the angle of the captures at
times. I always took the screen captures at the beginning of each race. Any
discrepancies, such as the various position of the cars at the start are
by the game itself.
6XSAA 8xAF
Anisotropic filtering greatly enhances the textures on the buildings
alongside the track as well as providing higher detailed reflections of the
street lights and signs upon the road. Anti-aliasing does wonders for the smooth
lines along the cars as well as eliminating the pronounced jaggies along the
colorful buildings. Image quality at 6XS and 8X AA is absolutely astounding.
Unfortunately, the game is extremely unplayable at these settings.
The following are pictures of various location within Call of Duty's
Dawnville demo.
Performance in the Quake3-powered Call of Duty was nothing short of
outstanding. At 1280x1024 with 4X AA and 2X AF selected within the driver
control panel, performance tended to remain in the high 90's. During extremely
intense shootout, such as when manning a stationary machine gun, the performance
dipped into the high 20's range.
Empires provides some of the prettiest graphics I've seen in a Real-Time
Strategy game. Nice work Stainless Steel Studios.
Homeworld was just one of those games I never really got into no matter how
hard I tried. My friends loved it though. These pics come courtesy of the single
player demo.

Trumpeter Randy Brecker has been a tireless explorer of all kinds of musical genres — from funk to Brazilian to mainstream jazz. Brecker brought along his group to this Piano Jazz, where he joins guest host Bill Charlap and performs some of his own tunes including "There's a Mingus A Monk Us, "Skunk Funk and "Moontide." Charlap joins the group for "All the Things You Are."
The relationship between art and architecture is a complex and at times an uneasy one. In the twentieth century a number of artists works have focused on commenting about our relationship to the physical structures in which we work and live. Tonight on Inquiry, we welcome back DINA DEITSCH, curator at the DECORDOVA SCULPTURE PARK AND MUSEUM. Tonight she talks about a current large and ambitious show at the museum titled TEMPORARY STRUCTURES, that involves built environments, performance art and video work that all comments of buildings, houses and museums.

Birds are important indicators of the health of an environment. Mass Audubon has just published an important summary of what is known about the health of bird populations in Massachusetts, what species are increasing, what species are declining and what habitats are endangered. Tonight on Inquiry, we welcome JOAN WALSH, Director of Bird Monitoring at Mass Audubon and one of the authors of STATE OF THE BIRDS 2011: DOCUMENTATING CHANGES IN MASSACHUSETTS BIRD LIFE. If you love natural history, are concerned about the future of open space in the state and especially if you enjoy birds, be sure to tune in.

Max Morath was born on October 1, 1926 in Colorodo Springs, Colorado. Though himself born after ragtime's decline, Max learned to play it from his mother who had been a professional ragtime pianist. He was a radio and TV-actor, writer, announcer and general entertainer before he devoted his career to ragtime. It was while playing the period music for off-fashioned melodramas in the West that he became fascinated by it, and soon began playing it in cabarets, as well as re searching every facet that he could find.
A producer for National Educational Television caught Max Morath, proposed that he turn his knowledge of the time into a series. "The Ragtime Era" show (1960) dealt with the development of the music of the period, and critics across the USA gave wholehearted approval. The success of "The Ragtime Era" led to another NET series, "Turn of the Century", in which Morath turned toward the social history of the time, as reflected through its music. His first live appearance in New York at the famed Blue Angel was followed a year later by a stint at the historic Village Vanguard. In 1969 he set up the "Max Morath at the turn of the Century" show at the Jan Hus Playhouse in New York City. Again, the critics were impressed with his seemingly offhand, colloquial approach to history. The success led to a tour in theatres and colleges across the USA.

"Do you have any idea why Mardalan would be looking for the treaty?" Edie asked quickly, before Professor Lal could make them leave, even though it was obvious that she was trying to dismiss them. "That's the one thing we can't understand."
Professor Lal shook her head slowly. "I do not think there is any point in speculating until we have spoken to her. If I have need of you again, I will find you."
"I hope you'll find us even if you don't need us," said Derwen. "Come on, Lal, we deserve answers."
Wednesday, February 9
Edie didn't want to go with Derwen to talk to Professor Lal. She was afraid the professor might not take them seriously if she were there, knowing about her desire to go to Faerie. She also thought that Professor Lal would be able to tell that she had been in the library looking at the books and why.
"What do you mean?" asked Dawn, as Edie's shoulders slumped.
"My great-grandmother," Edie explained. "I don't know if she's still alive or if she actually died. I mean, she's a faerie, it seems like she must still be alive. But you're right, Derwen. She's probably the only one who would be able to tell me anything. And that's the whole problem."
"I'd tell you to forget about all this faerie stuff and focus on being human, but it would be pretty hypocritical of me," said Derwen with a grin. She moved away to lean against the door again.
Corrie left the room and closed the door quietly behind her, not wanting to draw attention to the room. She didn't want anyone getting curious and knocking on the door. But there was no one in the hall anyway, except one girl who lived a couple of doors down and was probably just going to the bathroom. She and Corrie exchanged nods of greeting, and then Corrie headed for the end of the hall, controlling her muscles so she wouldn't break into a run.
It took Pru until almost the last day of the semester to find a four-leaf clover.
When she finally had a chance to search, it was easy. She plucked it hastily and tucked it away in the waistband of her skirt, where it touched her skin and would not fall; she had no pockets.
I stood up and paced around the kitchen, shaking my head. Dahlia was suggesting that my toddler son, Henry, could apport through time at will and had visited us as children. That was ludicrous. It just wasn't possible.
"It couldn't have been him," I said. "I mean, he was imaginary. Our parents would have noticed if a real kid was playing with us when we were make-believing Hank Henry."
Pru could not believe what she saw.
Through the stone with the hole in it, the walls of the building vanished. The tables vanished. Some of the people vanished, and far, far more of them changed.
It was three weeks later. Pru was awake in bed, but then she was usually awake, these days. Her classes were suffering. But every time she almost fell asleep, she would hear that eerie music.
It didn't make sense. Her dorm was all the way across campus from where she'd seen the party. Maybe the music was moving… but no, it was just in her head. She knew it was all in her head, but no matter how much other music she listened to, no matter how much she tried to focus on her schoolwork or her friends or a new book she was reading, it was always in her head.
Her beer bottle hit a rock and shattered. Pru swore, freed her arm, and then began flailing around with her hands, seeking whatever had grabbed her.
Then there was a pale face in front of her in the darkness and narrow hands were holding her wrists. "What are you doing, human?" he growled—a man's voice, if the face was indeterminate. "Are you stupid?"
Pru stared at him. "I just wanted to know what the music was." Then— "Human?"
She was looking at him.
She was not entirely sober, but she was not high enough to be seeing things.
"Oh," I said, "One other thing. Did you ever tell Henry that you used to call me 'Cally,' at all?"
My sister scratched her head. "Not that I can think of, why?"
"When Bianca and I found him, he said he'd been playing with 'Dahlly' and 'Cally.' That's what we called each other, for ages. It seemed strange for him to invent that."
Dahlia leaned back in her seat and folded her arms. She stared off into space, as if thinking. I tilted my head, waiting for her to go on.
"You're thinking something, I can tell."

Samantha's Daily Poem
Why I write
I don't write to remember
that when we drove past
the electrical tower
you said
look, it's the Eiffel Tower
I write to leave crumbs
so I can find my way back
if I need to
at the end
for a moment
to inhale
that time
when my life
was big and new.
The meat section
We're at the grocery store
and you point to the meat section
what animal is that, mama
it's been a long time
since I ate meat
but I can tell it's a cow
but cows aren't pink
you say this quite loud
and for some reason
I feel the need to whisper
the part about the blood
and then I smile
at the man beside me
who buys the lamb
and doesn't smile back
you ask me what he bought
so I tell you
and you want to know
which one is the chicken
and do they sell roosters too
and where are the pigs
so we look at all of it
up close
under plastic skin
and your chin
starts to quiver
what if these are mamas
and their babies miss them
but suddenly
your face brightens
they probably
die the families at the same time
so they stay together
in the store
I say
you are probably right
and we finish our shop
holding hands.
Allergic to shy
You're wearing a black wig
and a piece of felt around your head
as a witch hat
you had big plans to dress up
for our trip to the library
to show the librarian
that you were pretending to be
the character in the book
but then you realized
that everyone would see you
and you say
I'm allergic to shy
I laugh
which makes you stomp
and throw the shoe horn
you were using as a wand
so I apologize
right into your ribs
which I tell you
is a shortcut
to your heart
and I ask you
where you learned
about being allergic
you remember mama
at the aquarium
that girl told us
she was allergic
to selfish.
My four-year-old poetry teacher
My brain is jammed
with the noise of errands
and the poem knows it
hiding away
in the quiet
of my ribcage
for a way
back in
which is how I came to see
how the noticing
pours out of you
blunt and new
like the colour of the girl's hair
in your drawing
that is neither brown nor blonde
and you tell me
it is like a paper bag
which of course it is
and how you describe
grandpa's face
as mushy
and that a frog
would feel like a bird
if you held it tight
in your hand
and how nuns
look like Red Riding Hood
in black and white
and how library books
smell like closets
so I kept asking
and the answers dropped out of you
obvious as stones
each one a lesson
in what it takes
to be a poet.
Working from home
I have a meeting with a graphic designer
who I also consider a friend
but still
I text her to say I'm running late
and she should come right in
and then it occurs to me
that she might hear the hum
of my breast pump
from downstairs
so I text her to tell her
what I'm up to
I add a lot of exclamation marks
to make it seem funny
or at least less awkward
but when I read it over
it appears as frenetic
as I feel
then the baby wakes up early
so we try to make her happy
by letting her chew
the graphic designer's pen
while we try to unpack a conversation
out of a knot
of interruptions
I make her a cup of tea
which she can't drink
because the baby
is in a lunging phase
but I use words like
and we stuff budgets
into the quiet
between the crying
so I feel it's gone well
and I'm silently pleased that I remembered
the meeting at all
and then she says
in the kindest voice
I think you have a black bean
on your collarbone
and of course I do
which I pick off
and only later
do I wonder what she thought
when I ate it.

Michael Rosen on Michael Rosen:
I grew up in the London suburb of Pinner, a place my parents often wondered about. How had we landed there? My parents were teachers, politically committed (socialists), and great storytellers and readers. I was lucky to have found them.
Most of my adult life, I've been a freelance writer, teacher (of sorts), journalist, performer and broadcaster. I visit schools doing my one-man show, and support Arsenal Football Club.
I have often written about my life and family, but I also write occasional fantasy (usually based in a real place) and non-fiction.

Dog-Wolf Family Tree More Complex Than Scientists Thought
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
According to popular belief, all of today's dog breeds are descended from wolves domesticated thousands of years ago. However, a new study published on Thursday in PLOS Genetics has found that today's dogs are more closely related to each other than they are to wolves – an indication that dogs were domesticated after they diverged from wolves.
"Dog domestication is more complex than we originally thought," said study author John Novembre, associate professor of human genetics at the University of Chicago. "In this analysis we didn't see clear evidence in favor of a multi-regional model, or a single origin from one of the living wolves that we sampled. It makes the field of dog domestication very intriguing going forward."
To reach their findings, the international team generated high quality genome sequences from three gray wolves: one each from China, Croatia and Israel. The team chose these regions because they are thought to be where dogs originated. The researchers also sequenced genomes for two dog breeds: a basenji, which came out of central Africa, and an Australian dingo, from regions that have been historically isolated from modern wolf populations. Geneticists working on the study also sequenced the genome of a golden jackal as an 'outgroup' of earlier canine divergence.
The basenji and dingo genomes, as well as a European boxer genome from a previous study, were found to be most closely related to each other even though they originated in disparate lands. The three wolves from each geographic area were also more closely related to each other than to any of the domestic dog breeds.
Novembre said he was surprised to see that each dog is not most closely related to its nearest geographic counterpart – for example, the basenji and the Israeli wolf. Instead, both dogs and wolves seem to come from an older ancestor common to both species.
"One possibility is there may have been other wolf lineages that these dogs diverged from that then went extinct," he said. "So now when you ask which wolves are dogs most closely related to, it's none of these three because these are wolves that diverged in the recent past. It's something more ancient that isn't well represented by today's wolves."
The study team also found that genetic exchange across canid species is more pervasive than previously believed.
"If you don't explicitly consider such exchanges, these admixture events get confounded with shared ancestry," said study author Adam Freedman, a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA. "We also found evidence for genetic exchange between wolves and jackals. The picture emerging from our analyses is that these exchanges may play an important role in shaping the diversification of canid species."
The team also found major bottlenecks in the historical population sizes of both early dogs and wolves. By analyzing patterns of deviation, the team discovered that both dogs and wolves had a significant drop in population size as they diverged from each other, suggesting that diversity among the animals' common ancestors was greater than that seen in modern wolves.
Novembre said the study conveys a multifaceted picture of early canine domestication.
"We're trying to get every thread of evidence we can to reconstruct the past," he said. "We use genetics to reconstruct the history of population sizes, relationships among populations and the gene flow that occurred. So now we have a much more detailed picture than existed before, and it's a somewhat surprising picture."

Hunters are what they are - not for crossing the Atlantic. Any similar trailerable is going to be lightly built. You wouldn't want to spend forever attaching triple stays etc etc, you want to get the mast up quick and get out there.
Instead of questions, ask the seller to send pictures showing chainplates inside and outside, bilge, rudder post, centerboard pin & winch, etc etc. You can ask him if there are any soft spots on the deck or cabin top.
