Useless Landscape, or a Guide for Boys (Paperback)
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, now in paperback
D. A. Powell's fifth book of poetry, "Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys," explores the darker side of divisions and developments, the interstitial spaces of boonies, backstage, bathhouse, and bar. With witty banter, emotional resolve, and powerful lyricism, this collection demonstrates Powell's exhilarating range.
About the Author
D. A. Powell is the author of a trilogy of books, including Tea (1998), Lunch (2000), and Cocktails (2004). Lunch was a finalist for the National Poetry Series, and Cocktails was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for poetry. His most recent book, Chronic (2009) received the Kingsley Tufts Award and was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award. His subjects range from movies, art, and other trappings from contemporary culture to the AIDS pandemic. Powell is a 2011 Guggenheim Fellow and has received a Paul Engle Fellowship from the James Michener Center, a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Lyric Poetry Award from the Poetry Society of America, among other awards. His poems have been featured in the Norton anthology American Hybrid (2009) and Best American Poetry (2008). He teaches at the University of San Francisco and edits the online magazine Electronic Poetry Review.
Praise For…
"Powell has a perfect ear . . . [His] great subject is passion, in all its stages and manifestations: passion sought, spent, relived in the mind, played out in language." —Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker
"With his typical wry eroticism, an eagle eye for the places where men converge, and a compass that points always to desire, poet D. A. Powell leads us on a tour through a Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys, from gay bars to bathhouses and into the backwoods." —Vanity Fair
"Powell's fifth collection is a stunner . . . Memory, sensuality, and time all tangle with each other—altering each other as they go. Powell takes us beyond the 'salty declivites' of a Turkish bath into a wilderness of desire, a 'region of want.' There could be no sounder guide." —The Boston Globe

text: We are only a few hours away from 'The Game' between Ohio State and Michigan. The stakes are high, particularly for the Buckeyes, who still remain in the hunt for the national championship. One thing that both coaches are probably reminding their respective teams is to stay loose — playing tight is never a good thing.

Staff Reporter
CHENNAI: The mechanical engineering wing office of the Chennai Divisional Railway office at Park Town was damaged in a fire on Wednesday evening. No one was injured. The cause of the fire could not be immediately established, fire service personnel said.
The fire broke out at 6.40 p.m. on the seventh floor of the building, said officials of the Fire and Rescue Services Department.
Two fire tenders from the High Court station and several others, including one with a sky lift, were pressed into service to douse the flames, said A. Kumarasami, Assistant Divisional Officer (North) of the department.
It took the fire service personnel over 45 minutes to bring the flames under control, he added.
Three hours after the fire, acrid smoke hung in the air and the gutted room was hot as a furnace. The blackened walls, peeled ceiling, melted chairs and tables were hot to touch. Several computers and photocopying machines were damaged.
The blades of the ceiling fans were twisted out of shape. Furniture and several bureaus stacked with documents were destroyed. Fire service personnel worked amid fear that the roof might cave in.
Railway officials said that they suspected an electrical short circuit to have caused the fire.
They were also checking other electrical installations in the building as a precautionary measure.
A three-member committee comprising an assistant electrical engineer, an assistant mechanical engineer and an assistant security commissioner had been formed to inquire into the cause of the fire, officials said.

Figure out about how many calories you need to eat per day in order to lose weight then multiply that by 7. For example: 1300 X 7= 9100. Then zig zag the calories from day allowing yourself to eat more some days and less others. Your body won't know you're dieting if you eat 2,000 calories one day and 1,000 the next. Eating the same amount of calories daily causes plateaus, is stressful & boring. Learn to enjoy food and also be responsible to yourself.
When you push and push for your work outs and maintain your calories, usually at the low end, and the weight loss stalls...what then? Eat more! One or two days a week, not consecutive, go over the calories for the day.
Get a bike and cycle as much as you can. We have several cycle paths off road around where I live
The premise behind calorie cycling is that you never let your body figure out that you're trying to lose weight and keep it from going into starvation mode. Basically, what you want to do with calorie cycling is eat on the high end of your calorie range one day, then on the low end the next.

Police say Rousseau resident Ray Brown set fire to the abandoned houses and an old bus early Thursday morning, and he was later confronted by several people, one of whom, identified as Roger Spencer, was carrying a firearm.Brown then entered a vehicle and drove in Spencers direction, and thats when Spencer allegedly fired several shots at the car with a .22 caliber rifle. Brown was hit several times, police say, and as he attempted to flee the scene, he struck two parked vehicles that belonged to firefighters before colliding with a tree and going over an embankment. Brown later had to be extricated from the vehicle by personnel with the Jackson Fire Department before he was airlifted to Holston Valley Medical Center in Tennessee. He was treated for injuries from the gunshot and the crash. He is currently listed in stable condition, according to a press release from the Kentucky State Police.Authorities questioned Spencer about the incident and arrested him on Friday, charging him with one count of first-degree assault. He was taken to and lodged in the Three Forks Regional Jail in Beattyville.

Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier has suddenly become contrite
Steve Spurrier has engineered countless highlight moments during his coaching career, but his performance at Southeastern Conference media days last month will not be counted among them whenever the ol' ball coach decides to retire to the ol' golf course.
As soon as he arrived at the lectern for his appearance/inquisition before 800-odd reporters, Spurrier began by apologizing to Florida quarterback Tim Tebow. Spurrier said he had made a mistake by not casting a vote for Tebow on his preseason All-SEC team.
Spurrier, heading into his fifth season at South Carolina, claimed his director of football operations had filled out his ballot for him, but it was a mea culpa to end all mea culpas. Spurrier said he "messed that up" and felt "badly." He used the word "embarrassed" three times. He almost seemed to cower.
It was not his finest moment, and the whole episode raised questions about Spurrier and his legacy: What happened to the brash coach who spoke his mind? Who changed the college football landscape with his Fun 'N' Gun offense at Florida? Who frustrated opponents and annoyed rivals?
Would that guy have genuflected before the media over a meaningless preseason all-conference selection?
Times have changed. With each passing season, those high-octane years at Florida slip deeper into the past. Spurrier has been unable to lift the Gamecocks to a position of national prominence, and the challenge promises to be just as difficult this fall. He acknowledged as much.
"We're not there yet," said Spurrier, quick to add that his roster includes just seven seniors.
Some of his critics are starting to wonder: If not now, then when? He raised hopes during his first season in Columbia in 2005, when the Gamecocks tied a school record with seven victories and went to a bowl game. But the team has been mired in mediocrity, and team is coming off 6-6 and 7-6 seasons. Spurrier said he would like to see that win total up around nine or 10.
"I feel like we can get over that hump," senior linebacker Eric Norwood said. "Last year was last year. And the years before that, we're putting them behind us. We're just looking forward to winning, making things happen this year, closing out that final stretch."
But make no mistake, last year was supposed to be the year. After returning 16-of-22 starters, the Gamecocks were 7-3 and in the national polls when they headed to Florida on Nov. 15. A 56-6 loss sent South Carolina reeling. After a 31-14 loss to rival Clemson, the Gamecocks got crushed by Iowa in the Outback Bowl, 31-10.
"Actually got clobbered pretty good our last three games," Spurrier said.
That meant personnel changes -- quarterbacks Chris Smelley and Tommy Beecher transferred during the offseason, leaving Spurrier's fragile offense in the hands of redshirt sophomore Stephen Garcia -- as well as staff changes. Some coaches left on their own, Spurrier said. A few were asked to leave. Do the math, and Spurrier now has five new assistants and a new strength and conditioning coach.
Despite the turbulence, South Carolina's recruiting class remained intact. As Spurrier pointed out, the Gamecocks did not lose a single commitment -- and actually picked up a few more. Scout.com and Rivals.com ended up ranking the class 12th in the country. Spurrier saw a lot of meaning in that.
"It was a sign," he said. "The high school players, some of the top athletes, still believe that South Carolina can win, and win big."
Spurrier will have no choice but to rely on some of those recruits, and his young team will be learning on the go.
"I think Steve Fink, our sports information guy, said we're picked fourth in the Eastern Division for the seventh year in a row," Spurrier said at media days. "That's where we are: We're fourth until we prove we can do better."
Just then, one of the reporters piped up to correct him: South Carolina actually had been picked third this season.
"We were?" he asked. "Thanks for correcting me. My bad."
So here was Spurrier apologizing, not for the first time -- and maybe not the last.
-- Scott Cacciola: 529-2773
A closer look at: South Carolina
Rewind: Things were supposed to be coming together for Steve Spurrier in his fourth season at South Carolina, thanks to an experienced group of returning starters. And the Gamecocks looked to be in contention for a high-level bowl bid when they rolled into Florida with a 7-3 record. Then disaster: A sputtering offense, hindered in part by musical chairs at quarterback, and some leaks on defense were exposed in a 56-6 loss. It was the first of three straight losses to close the season, and Spurrier replaced the bulk of his staff.
Fast forward: For better or for worse, Spurrier will rely on redshirt sophomore Stephen Garcia to take hold of the offense at quarterback. Garcia has had a topsy-turvy two-plus seasons at South Carolina, which includes several well-publicized brushes with the law. But he has managed to stay out of trouble in recent months, and he saw action in eight games last season, completing 53.3 percent of his passes (65 of 122) for 832 yards with six touchdowns and eight interceptions. More cause for concern: He is the team's leading returning rusher. He ran for 198 yards last season.

It sort of depends what you consider the semantics of MIGRATE_OFFLINE to be. You can consider it to be a flag indicating that the guest must be in the shutoff state curently, or you can consider it to be a permission flag to indicate that migration is allowed if the guest is offline. The difference here is subtle - basically comes down to whether you raise an error if OFFLINE is set, and the guest is currently running. In the case where you consider it a permission flag (which is what is currently implemented), then we must mandate use of the PERSISTENT flag, otherwise you get wierd semantics. eg The persistent config would not be copied if running, but would be copied if shutoff. If you consider it a state flag, then I don't think it matters so much, though I would still prefer to see the MIGRATE_PERSISTENT flag specified explicitly. It would let you deal with a case where you have a shutoff guest, and you migrate the storage (using the appropriate flag) but do not migrate the config.

Few Americans, especially those in government, know much about Cuba. And
nowhere is that more evident than in the coverage of Fidel Castro's
illness and the transition of power.
As Iraq burns and Castro recovers, the Bush Administration's schemes to
further "Cuba's transition to democracy" ring more hollow than ever.
Evo Morales and his Movement Toward Socialism party face two formidable
foes: a far left discontented with neoliberalism and a combative rancher-based right wing.
If democracy represents the will of the people, then there is either
something wrong with democracy in the United States and Britain or something wrong with the people on both sides of the Atlantic.
As Prime Minister-elect Romano Prodi take the reins of power, Italians should seek evidence of Berlusconi's true role in the run-up to the Iraq War.
After nine years, Tony Blair's magic has worn off. His Labour Party has mutated from an imperfect conduit of progressive change into an active obstacle to it.
Slobodan Milosevic died without a definitive judgment of his
responsibility for war and crimes against humanity. Now others will
judge him, precisely what he wanted to avoid.
Michelle Bachelet has vowed Chile will be a different country by the
end of her four-year term. But she will likely be remembered more for
continuity than for change.
Russian human rights activist Gregory Shvedov examines how Vladimir Putin's tactics toward Chechnya align with George W. Bush's "global war on terror."

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
This game is very weird, and extremely hard. It's fun as long as you are playing casually, but once you get serious about it I always find myself getting ticked off at the game. I like the idea of the game, but I think the mechanics could of been quite a bit better.

Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio Finally Open Up About 'Wolf of Wall Street'
In a candid roundtable with Jonah Hill and writer Terence Winter, the film's major players open up about airplane orgies, scoring quaaludes, Steven Spielberg on set and why DiCaprio was drawn to the real-life story: "It was like a modern-day Caligula."
SCORSESE: Yeah!
DICAPRIO: No, seriously. I saw those movies, and I was like, "What is this human being like?"
SCORSESE: Working together reignited my enthusiasm for making pictures. There's always something more, there's always more to mine with him. He keeps going deeper and deeper.
STORY: Martin Scorsese, Sharon Stone Open Marrakech International Film Festival
Your interest in film was flagging?
SCORSESE: The energy of making films. By the time we made [2004's] The Aviator, I had made films for, like, 35 years. And it was a matter of, what would I want to spend my time on? And, getting older, what do you have to say? Is it worth spending the time and going through the process? It takes a year and a half to two years of my life each time. Leo's enjoyment of the work and the ability to take chances made me excited again. 'Cause Gangs of New York was a massive project and had been for many, many years, and I was depleted after that. And Aviator was the one where he pulled me back in, and I said, "Oh, yeah, I'm interested."
DICAPRIO: There's something about that film, the nostalgia. That was special.
Do you still have faith in the power of film?
SCORSESE: Can a film really change anything? I mean, what was the last time? Maybe the Italian neo-realists, where they became the voice and the heart and the soul of Italy, a nation that had been destroyed. I don't know. But, like anything else -- a book or painting or music -- if it stays with you, if it's part of the culture, maybe it can make some headway.
Jonah, describe your entree to Wolf.
DICAPRIO: Do you remember when we first met in Mexico?
JONAH HILL: Yeah, yeah.
DICAPRIO: We were sitting outside, and he said, "I read this script, and there's nobody else who should play Donnie Azoff except for me." I was like, "OK." And you started talking about how incredible you thought this screenplay was and how you knew guys like this, where money was paramount. You knew who this guy was. And I had to relay that to Marty.
SCORSESE: The first time I met [Hill] was at the [Oscars]. He was sitting in front of me. He was great, just sitting there.
HILL: The back of my head was really expressive.
PHOTOS: 25 of Fall's Most Anticipated Movies
Was it hard shifting from comedy to drama?
HILL No. I mean, I love all different kinds of films. I've gotten to express myself a lot comedically, and I like doing that. But opportunities like this are the greatest thing in the entire world, and it's just about playing the character truthfully. There are ridiculous situations in this film that would be the same in a broad comedy.

DorobekInsider.com: Rep. Honda's tries crowdsourcing his Web redesign — a check-in
Monday - 6/15/2009, 6:45am EDT
Editor's note: To those coming from the Future Fed series that I will be doing on WTOP and Federal News Radio 1500 AM — if this is your first time to the DorobekInsider — welcome. I hope you'll visit regularly, but… each week, along with the Future Fed series, I will also have a related post each Monday morning with more on the topic. So, if nothing else, I hope you'll join me here on Mondays.
I mentioned earlier this month that Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA) is redesigning his Web site using a very innovative method — crowdsourcing. That is essentially where a task that was traditionally done by an employee — or contractor — and it is done in a transparent, open way. Open source software is one version of crowdsourcing, but… it is developing in many different ways. It is one of the Web 2.0 ideas — my Web 2.0 definition being that information is power, but that the real power of information comes when it is shared.
Rep. Mike Honda is taking this very unique step — he is crowdsouring the redesign of his Web site. It is very innovative. And it could have broader applications. As the White House openness and transparency initiative continues, Vivek Kundra is Chief Information Officer, Katie Stanton is Director of Citizen Participation have a blog post about technologies they are looking at — and one of them is crowdsourcing. Specifically, they point to an initiative that the Transportation Department is funding to crowdsource the development of a bus stop design. The project is called Next Stop Design — cute — and you can read more here.
UPDATE: We spoke to Honda on Federal News Radio 1500 AM's Daily Debrief with Chris Dorobek and Amy Morris. We will talk to Honda Monday afternoon on Federal News Radio 1500 AM's Daily Debrief with Chris Dorobek and Amy Morris. (He tells us he got some push back from House administrators.)
We will talk to Honda Monday afternoon on Federal News Radio 1500 AM's Daily Debrief with Chris Dorobek and Amy Morris. (He tells us he got some push back from House administrators. We also talk to him about the loss of control.)
Honda already has more than 80 different submissions. You can see them for yourself here — very transparent.
I have been culling through them — and there are some very good designs. I hope to have Rep. Honda back on the show to talk about the experience once they have made a final section — I'm hoping that they will unveil the new redesign on our show. But… here is one by "Apoloo" that I thought was handsome:

Increased mobile phone usage while driving, crossing roads and railway tracks has led to a spurt in accidental deaths in the past three years. The number of casualties have gone up from one every six minutes in 2010 to one every three minutes now.
This was revealed in a survey undertaken by the Trauma Centre at All-India Institute of Medical Sciences here which delved into the cause of death of patients who were taken there.
To create awareness about the issue, the Trauma Centre has started observing an Injury Prevention Week from this year.
"In 2010, there used to be one death on the road every six minutes and now that frequency has gone up to one every three minutes. So in view of the rise, the Trauma Centre started taking the history of the victims and found an increasing role of mobile phones in the accidents. We also found that rail track injuries were high among people walking with ear plugs in their ears and similarly a large number of people were getting hit on the roads while talking on phones," said organising secretary of the programme, Nirmal Thakur.
Ms. Thakur said it was under the guidance of Trauma Centre head M. C. Thakur that the national public awareness programme called Pyramid of Injury Prevent (PIP) India was launched. "For this we made a logo; saw the nature of injuries in pregnant women, mothers, children youth and elderly; and tried to identify the reasons of injury."
The findings were very revealing. "Children normally fall from a height while flying kites or due to low parapets. Similarly, many were hit by vehicles while playing cricket on the roads."
To target the young, who often end up with cases of amputation, double amputation or even triple amputation, Ms. Thakur said the Trauma Centre decided to rope in young cricketer and captain of World Cup-winning India Under-19 team Unmukt Chand as its brand ambassador.
"We have shot a documentary with him during a road show and he interacted with a number of children during the PIP Injury Prevention Week which culminated on Sunday," she said, adding that the AIIMS Trauma Centre would now celebrate this week every year to increase awareness about injury prevention.
Among the programmes which were organised as part of the prevention week this year were a blood donation camp, a drawing and painting competition for children "to judge their thoughts" and lectures in various schools.
Delhi University students were also engaged in the programme along with National School of Drama students who were trained on injury prevention. They later staged street plays at busy places like India Gate, Red Fort and Connaught Place Central Park.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued guidance for participating Stage 1 providers and hospitals applying for the hardship exemption to the meaningful use requirements due to technology vendor issues. The exemption will be applicable only to Medicare-participating providers and hospitals that are unable to meet the electronic health record (EHR) criteria for 2014. Applications for this exemption will relieve the applicant from monetary penalties in 2015 for failing to meet relevant meaningful use criteria. Similarly, to avoid payment penalties in 2015, providers and hospitals new to the meaningful use program in 2014 and unable to implement certified EHR technology in 2014 may also apply for a hardship exemption.

With FCPX, I cannot see any sub directories regarding import settings. It simple sees the sources, an ext hd, the canopus, the onboard hd... and that's it.
You describe it correctly. It's a rolling. Yes- a sync issue. It worked fine with an older version of FCP. Caveat, I cannot load the older vers of FCP onto my macbook because it is not supported. It requires that I download something called 'rosetta'and it's not the typical rosetta stone. Any experience with this?
Yes, the canopus is an ADVC110.

Hi everyone, I had my 18 week u/s last week and they found out that I have VCI. I don't even know where to start with this, but like any other person I looked it up online, I've been doing a whole bunch of reading on this and it has me scared to death. I immediately picked up the phone and called to schedule an appt. with my OB. I'll be seeing him on Tuesday (tomorrow) and addressing all my concerns. The most I can do right now Is hope for the best and remain positive about the whole situation. I hope to hear some positive advice and birth stories that way I can see some light at the end of this dark tunnel. I have read a little more on this and seem to be stumbling upon many positive outcomes so I do know one thing for sure, THERE'S HOPE!!!
Diagnosed with VCI
Comments (7)
Do not read too much into it. It will scare you to death. I had to stop reading because I was living my pregnancy in fear and was upset when I should have been happy for the life I was carrying. My daughter was born in October, full term. At 39wks 5days, I delivered a 7lb 19 1/2in baby vaginally with absolutely no complications
Beautiful daughter, Autumn, 10/08/10
Baby boy Aiden, due 05/20/14
Thank you so much for the uplifting advice...Congrats on the baby girl! I'm glad your delivery went well...So I had my Dr. appt. today and my at this point, my OB isn't worried about it...he said from 30 weeks and on they'll just keep a close eye on baby's growth and make sure that no vasa previa is present so basically they'll just keep monitoring until delivery. He also said that if things stay the way that they are right now and nothing changes then I to can have a vaginal delivery, so my fingers are crossed!...
I read a lot into things as well when I was first diagnosed as well, scaring myself half to death. I'm happy that I read about everything and found the information that I did. I tried to stay away from the bad stories, because really it just wasn't doing me any good. The best things I did for myself was 1) decide what kind of care that I wanted, now that I knew my pregnancy was higher risk and 2) find the doctor/hospital who agreed with that level of care.
For me, that meant that I had to get a second opinion from a new doctor, switch hospitals and get another ultrasound from the new hospital...and it has all been worth it. I now have my trust in the doctors and feel as though everything will go smoothly for me and the baby.
How did your appointment go today?
My adventures as a first time, work at home mom, living on a boat with my little family. http://sailmama.blogspot.com
My appt. today went great, My husband and I are very much comfortable with my OB and believe that we are all on the right track. My OB as well as my husband and I and very confident that things will be okay. He did let us know that baby will/may be small due to the VCI. He will also be monitoring baby's growth and also making sure that no Vasa Previa is present. So I have the OB dr. settled as well as the hospital where i'll be delivering him.
Thank you so much for responding to my post. I must agree with you 100% on avoiding the bad stories. Those are the ones that made me very very scared, but it has also helped me and made me aware of what could happen, which is a good thing to know.
Yay! I am so glad to hear that you are happy with your OB. It has been a long, rough 10 weeks for me because I was unhappy with my care, even though that meant leaving a midwife/natural based hospital and going to a very medical centered hospital with doctors who may try pushing a c-section on me (which is fine if it is necessary of course, but at this point it is hard to say). Anyway, the change in hospitals was a pain in the rear, and while it has been totally worth it, I am glad that you do not have to deal with it!
I agree- it is good to know the things that *could* happen. I just found out that I also have a succenturiate placenta which adds a few extra complications (oh joy) so I was doing my research on that last night. I just remember the initial VCI diagnosis was SO upsetting to me and I was terribly emotional, and reading the bad stories on top of my being so upset was really not helping anyone.
When are you due??
My adventures as a first time, work at home mom, living on a boat with my little family. http://sailmama.blogspot.com
Wow I am so sorry to hear that there's yet another problem that they found, I know how you are feeling so don't feel like you're alone. I'm sure you sit there and ask yourself "why does this have to happen to me, of all people" I do the same. It'll be ok. They say its good that we know whats going on before delivery comes but it makes us worry so much. I have learned to just take one day at a time.
I am due May 31. When are you due ? Feel free to add me if you want to. I've had my acct. hear at bbc for awhile now but only now I'm really really making use of it lol. Its very helpful. Before I would just follow my pregnancies and never posted anything or even went on the boards to read but now with this VCI the support here is great as well as learning new things.

I've never been much of a Kodak film shooter, but I still hate to see it go.
What I worry about is the avaliability of the raw materials used to make film. When there's so little demand for some key components of roll film and sheet film (whatever componenets they may be), will the businesses that supply those components stop selling those componenets or even go out of business? What would happen to film then? We'd all go back to using glass plates and contact printing?
I'm not sure if that's a valid concern or not, but in my (albeit very tired) mind, it seems so :\

Pop Stars
The brushwork is so clean, the painting looks untouched by human hands, almost as if painted by a robot or other labor-saving mechanical device. Hyper-bright pinks and oranges lie over each other like overlapping windows on a divinely frozen PC screen. The work in question is Untitled (Wall of Sound) by abstract painter Philip Argent, part of the new exhibit "POPulence" at the Blaffer Gallery.
"A lot of the pop artists in the new show, people like Argent and L.C. Armstrong and Kim Squaglia, are actually painters in the classical sense," explains the show's curator, David Pagel, who works as an art history professor at Claremont Graduate University as well as a critic for the Los Angeles Times. "That would've been unthinkable in the '60s."
Early pop artists such as Warhol, Lichtenstein and Ruscha concerned themselves with reproductions of mass-produced commercial objects, from soup-can labels to comic-strip panels. To thumb their noses at the "fine art" community, they'd take these objects out of context in the name of shock value or social commentary, often employing silk-screening and other technical processes.
But as evidenced by artists like Argent, things have changed. "Pop art isn't what it used to be," claims Pagel. "I mean, pop art as a movement is 45 years old," he says. "But critics just continue to portray it as this new, undeveloped type of art."
The show, which features 50 pieces by 19 contemporary artists -- many internationally known -- is colorful, vibrant and probably not anyone's idea of retro. Brain with Flowers by Fred Tomaselli resembles nothing so much as a swatch of particularly disturbing wallpaper, while Polly Apfelbaum's Love, Love Me Do is a giant piece of crushed velvet with childlike shapes cut into it. Other high-profile contributors include '80s kitsch-rebel sculptor Jeff Koons and Japanese computer graphics manipulator Chiho Aoshima. The whole show reminds you that art ain't real funky -- unless you've got that pop, baby.

Actor Imran Khan has locked lips with Anushka Sharma in "Matru ki Bijlee Ka Mandola", but he admits that he finds it awkward to kiss someone he isn't romantically involved with.
"It's awkward when you are kissing someone who you are not romantically involved with because it is a very intimate act. Normally you do it with somebody who you are very close to, but here you are kissing someone who you don't know that well," Imran told IANS.
Nevertheless, Imran feels Anushka is very talented and she has done a very good job in this Vishal Bharadwaj-directorial.
"We have done a photo shoot together. I watched her films and I felt she is a very good actress. But until you work with a person, you don't really get to appreciate that person. When I actually started working with her, I got to know more about her talent. She has done very good work in this film," said Imran.
"Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola" also features Arya Babbar, Pankaj Kapoor and Shabana Azmi in important roles. The film is slated to release Jan 11 next year.

Jay Z's Tribute Song To His Daughter Blue Ivy Carter! [Audio]
As you know Beyonce and Jay Z had a baby girl a few days ago…Blue Ivy Carter.
As you know Beyonce and Jay Z had a baby girl a few days ago…Blue Ivy Carter.
Did Beyonce Give Birth!?
Oh baby! Remember those pesky rumors that Beyonce isn't really pregnant and that she has been wearing a prosthetic baby bump? Yeah, we know, we had forgotten about them, too, since they were so preposterous. Well, it turns out that Bey filmed a video about all the hype surrounding her pregnancy during which she chants "Oh baby" dramatically. While it's not exactly a response to those ridiculous rumors, it's an example of Bey's amazing sense of humor about the matter.
With each passing day, Kelly Rowland is getting to be more and more excited about the upcoming arrival of Beyonce's little girl. Rowland recently opened up about her former Destiny's Child band member's baby on the way, saying there is no way on earth that she will miss the birth of her little angel.
Beyonce and Jay-Z are going to be the proud parents of a baby girl, according to a source at In Touch. The source said that Beyonce couldn't be happier about having a daughter, since she has such a close relationship with her mother, Tina Knowles, and hopes to have that same bond with her baby girl.
Singers Nelly Furtado and Mariah Carey were once paid 1 Million dollars each to perform for members of Moammar Gadhafi's family. Last year, Beyonce was paid 2 million dollars to perform for Hannibal Gadhafi, Moammar's son
LOHAN LUNACY - WTF WAS UP WITH HER MAKEUP???: Given that Lindsay run-ins with the law seem to be quarterly occurrences, it was her bizarre makeup that was the bigger topic of discussion among the tabloids and gossip sites.
This clip has had me giggling all morning. It's video of Beyonce doing one of her songs as she's walking through the crowd at a recent concert. She rolls up on this one girl who is obviously very thrilled to see Bey that up close that she can't contain her joy.
THE 100 GREATEST SONGS OF THE 00's: Beyonce is the greatest, so says VH1 who have named Bey's "Crazy in Love" the best song of the last decade. The cable channel has compiled a list of the 100 Greatest Songs of the '00s, and crowned Beyonce #1

NEWBERRY — Newberry County Fire Chief Keith Minick encourages residents to be safe if they choose to shoot fireworks themselves instead of going to a professional display on July 4.
"Sparklers are a big thing that people love and our concern is for small children if sparks hit loose fitting clothing or hair and cause burns," he said.
Minick said people should not discharge bottle rockets close to anything flammable and should have a bucket of water nearby just in case.
"There are concerns in our rural areas, especially, in areas such as hay fields that could catch fire from (an errant bottle rocket or firework) and this year lack of rain is a concern," Minick said.
He said in the past there have been reports of bottlerockets going through people's windows in their homes or becoming lodged beneath mobile homes and starting fires.
Minick recommends the public follow the manufacturer's guidelines and use proper lighting techniques with long fuses and lighter torches instead of cigarette lighters.
"Do not hold fireworks in your hands or lean over the (launch area) and please be sure to launch fireworks from a smooth, solid, level surface so they do not tip over and wind up pointing toward bystanders. And treat all dud fireworks as if they are live. We hope everyone has a fire safe Fourth of July," he said.
The City of Newberry Fire Department will be on hand at the high school celebration as a safety precaution as well.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission offers the following firework safety tips:
• Make sure fireworks are legal in your area before buying or using them.
• Never allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks. Parents may not realize that young children suffer injuries from sparklers. Sparklers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees — hot enough to melt some metals.
• Always have an adult closely supervise fireworks activities if older children are allowed to handle devices.
• Avoid buying fireworks that are packaged in brown paper because this is often a sign that the fireworks were made for professional displays and that they could pose a danger to consumers.
• Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse. Back up to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks.
• Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire or other mishap.
• Never try to relight or handle malfunctioning fireworks. Soak them with water and throw them away.
• Never point or throw fireworks at another person.
• Light fireworks one at a time, then move back quickly.
• Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.
• After fireworks complete their burning, douse the spent device with plenty of water from a bucket or hose before discarding it to prevent a trash fire.
• Make sure everyone knows to stop, drop and roll in case a piece of clothing does catch fire. Call 911 or your local emergency number if a burn warrants serious medical attention.

NEW YORK – Alabama will begin this season the way it ended the last two – No. 1.
Nick Saban's two-time defending national champions are top-ranked in The Associated Press preseason college football poll, with the Crimson Tide trying to become the first team to win three straight national titles.
Much like the BCS championship game against Notre Dame, the vote was an Alabama landslide. The Tide received 58 of 60 first-place votes from the media panel Saturday to easily outdistance No. 2 Ohio State. Alabama matched Florida in 2009 for the highest percentage of first-place votes received in the 63-year history of the preseason rankings.
The Buckeyes received one first-place vote.
Oregon is No. 3, followed by Stanford and Georgia, which received the other first-place vote.
UCLA is No. 21; last year's preseason No. 1 USC is No. 24; and fellow Pac-12 school Oregon State is No. 25.
Notre Dame, coming off a 42-14 loss in the BCS championship game to Alabama, is No. 14.
Alabama won its record ninth AP national championship last season, third BCS title in the last four years under Saban, and became the first team to win back-to-back BCS championships.
The Tide is AP preseason No. 1 for the fourth time, and first since 2010. Alabama was ranked No. 2 in the preseason poll each of the last two seasons. The only time Alabama has started and finished No. 1 was 1978, when Bear Bryant led the Crimson Tide to the fourth of its five national championships with him as coach.
Now Saban's Tide is trying to accomplish something Bear's boys never could. Twice Alabama won back-to-back championships under Bryant, but couldn't get the third.
Saban is hoping senior stars such as quarterback AJ McCarron, linebacker C.J. Mosley, defensive end Ed Stinson and guard Anthony Steen have enough memories of what went wrong for the 2010 Alabama team to avoid it happening in 2013.
"You're in a position here where we have a lot of players that really haven't lost much," Saban said earlier this week. "They have to really want to be good for the sake of being good.
Alabama is 49-5 over the past four seasons, with three of those losses coming in `10.
"Most other teams are out there saying we've got something to prove," Saban said. "Well, this team has something to prove. It's a lot more difficult not to be a little bit complacent, not to keep the same accountability to being successful that's necessary. You've got to challenge yourself every day. You've got to challenge each other."
Since the poll started in 1936, 10 times has a school has won consecutive AP championships.

In the controversial 2012 decision D.R. Horton, Inc., the NLRB held that mandatory arbitration agreements requiring all employment disputes to be resolved through individual (as opposed to class) arbitration violate NLRA § 8(a)(1). That statute forbids an employer "to interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in section 7." The D.R. Horton decision has since been rejected by the Ninth Circuit and the Second Circuit Courts of Appeals. The Eighth Circuit declined to follow it, and Fifth Circuit finally overturned it.
Despite all of these decisions, as well as the Supreme Court's decision upholding an arbitration agreement's class waiver provision, the NLRB is not only holding fast to its reasoning in D.R. Horton, it is expanding it. On January 17, 2014, in Leslie's Poolmart, Inc., No. 21-CA-102332, an NLRB administrative law judge held than an arbitration agreement violates § 8(a)(1) even though the agreement does not expressly prohibit employees from bringing class or collective actions. The judge reasoned that the very act of enforcing the agreement leads employees to reasonably believe they cannot engage in concerted activity. Meanwhile, on January 21, 2014, the Ninth Circuit denied a plaintiff's motion to reconsider its decision rejecting the NLRB's reasoning in D.R. Horton. Suffice it to say, the NLRB's distaste for arbitration agreements is at odds with federal courts' strong policy of enforcing them. Could this dichotomy be an issue taken up by the Supreme Court? Stay tuned.

Latest Herschel Space Observatory Stories
ESA's Herschel space observatory made new observations of asteroid Apophis as it approached Earth this weekend. The data shows the asteroid to be bigger than first estimated, and less reflective.
With its 2160 liters of liquid helium about to run out, the Herschel Space Observatory will, by the end of March, become just another piece of space junk.
Astronomers are reaching out to the public and asking for a little help in a study to find holes in dust clouds.
One of the world's most sophisticated satellite tracking stations is nearing inauguration in Malargüe, Argentina, 1000 km west of Buenos Aires. The new station will ensure reliable communications with missions voyaging hundreds of millions of kilometers into our Solar System.
A team from Max Planck Institute for Astronomy has observed the earliest stages of star formation using the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory.
The European Space Agency (ESA) said its Herschel space observatory found a gas and dust cloud that contains enough water vapor to fill Earth's oceans more than 2,000 times over.
Chaotic networks of dust and gas signpost the next generations of massive stars in this stunning new image of the Cygnus-X star-nursery captured by ESA's Herschel space observatory.
Astronomers have found that a number of stars that form during the early lives of galaxies may be influenced by the massive black holes in the center of the celestial suburb.
The ESA's Herschel Space Observatory has been studying the dust near the star Fomalhaut and has found the surrounding dust appears to have come from the dust of destroyed comets.

MI Class of 2011 first to graduate under new curriculum
By Laura Weber, Michigan Public Radio Network
The high school class of 2011 will be the first group of students to graduate under Michigan's new curriculum signed into law four years ago. Governor Granholm used her weekly radio address to discuss the importance of the more challenging new standards.
Governor Granholm says the curriculum is an important step to diversifying Michigan's economy with an educated workforce. But she says it's only the first step in many reforms necessary to make major improvements.
"Although reforms are important to ensuring a quality education, it's also critical that there be no more cuts to K-12 education," she says. "I've made this clear to the Legislature. I will not sign a budget that cuts school funding."
The state Senate approved a budget proposal that further reduces per-pupil funding for K-12 schools. But GOP leaders in the Senate say schools won't lose money. They say cost-saving measures will fill holes in local school budgets.
