Nellie Angutiguluk's death ruled a homicide
The suspicious death of a 29-year-old woman in May has now been ruled a homicide.
The body of Nellie Angutiguluk, an Inuit woman originally from Nunavik, was found inside an apartment in Côte-des-Neiges on May 18.
"Investigators are reaching out to the public in order to connect with anyone who has information about the victim, Miss Angutiguluk," said Montreal Police Const. Abdullah Emran.
Angutiguluk was a regular visitor at The Open Door, a drop-in centre in downtown Montreal.
The organization's director, Caleb Clark, said staff members were shocked when she died, because despite problems with addiction, she wasn't living on the street and seemed to be doing well.
Pamunkey Tribe Gains Federal Recognition; First in Virginia
INDIAN TOWN, VIRGINIA – The Pamunkey Tribe has become the first federally recognized tribe in the state of Virginia.
On Thursday, Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs Kevin K. Washburn today issued the final determination that allows the Pamunkey to become a federally recongized tribe. With Thursday's acknowledgement there will be 567 federally recognized tribes.
The Pamunkey Indian Tribe, located 40 miles east of Virginia, was found to have met all seven mandatory criteria for Federal acknowledgment as set forth in 25 CFR Part 83.7. This is the second federal acknowledgement to take place during the Obama Administration.
"This work reflects the most solemn responsibilities of the United States," Washburn said. "Our professional historians, anthropologists, and genealogists spent thousands of hours of staff time researching and applying our rigorous acknowledgment criteria to these petitions."
Hokah's code talker of WWII
On the Fourth of July, we celebrate the great freedoms we have in America, and perhaps reflect on those who fight and fought to keep America free. So many have suffered much for the sake of our freedom and some are ones we so often overlook, like minorities, who also answered the call to duty and did what they could to preserve the great freedoms of our country. Some gave their all.
Consider the five Littlejohn brothers from the Hokah /Brownsville area during World War II. They were of the Winnebago tribe, also known as the Ho-Chunk Nation, which is the name they originally called themselves. It means "People of the first voice," or "People of the big voice." The tribe was native to the Green Bay area and points west and south in Wisconsin for many centuries until they were ever pushed west of the Mississippi River and to other places.
What happens to the price of a Big Mac if the fast-food minimum wage increases to $15?
ALBANY, N.Y. -- The cost of a Big Mac likely will increase in New York if the state decides to raise the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $15 an hour or more.
In Seattle, where the minimum wage for all workers is being increased to $15 an hour, $5 footlongs at Subway are no more, said Matt Haller, of the International Franchise Association. They are $6 or more, he said.
Haller said studies show that menu prices would increase about 22 percent with a $15 an hour wage.
Members of a New York wage board weighing the increase all agreed that some of the economic ripple created by the raise would not be positive: Jobs would be lost at the margins and the price of food would rise at the McDonald's, Burger King and other chains targeted by the increase.
NY prison escape: Son claims Richard Matt's body, says cops wrongfully killed him
The son of a convicted killer who escaped from an Upstate New York prison is claiming his body for burial, according to multiple reports.
Nick Harris, 23, tells WIVB in Buffalo that he'll take Richard Matt's body. Matt was fatally shot last Friday by a Border Patrol agent from Vermont during the manhunt that involved more than 1,000 law enforcement officials searching for him and David Sweat after they broke out of the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, N.Y., on June 6.
The Alice Hyde Medical Center in Malone tells WPTZ that Matt's family decided late Wednesday to give him a private burial. CNN added that a Franklin County coroner said the body will be transported to a Tioga County funeral home, where arrangements are being made with Harris.
Police: 13-year-old boy accused of sex crimes in Oswego County
SCHROEPPEL, N.Y. -- A teenager is accused of sexual abuse in incidents that occurred in May, the Oswego County Sheriff's Office said.
A 13-year-old boy from the town of Schroeppel was charged Thursday with juvenile delinquency. If the acts were committed by an adult, they would constitute two counts of first-degree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child, the sheriff's office said.
The 13-year-old boy is accused of having sexual contact with a victim in Schroeppel during the month of May.
The sheriff's office said the boy and a parent were issued juvenile appearance tickets directing them to the county probation department.
DWI crackdown in effect Fourth of July weekend
Jefferson and St. Lawrence county police agencies will be ramping up patrols this holiday weekend as part of a statewide STOP-DWI initiative.
The crackdown effort, designed to reduce the number of alcohol-related traffic accidents, will start Friday and continue through Monday.
The Fourth of July weekend initiative is one of many statewide campaigns promoted by the state STOP-DWI Association with funding from the STOP-DWI Foundation and a grant from the governor's Traffic Safety Committee.

Man bitten by shark on NC Outer Banks is 7th this summer
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) –– A shark bit a 68-year-old man several times Wednesday in waist-deep water off North Carolina's Outer Banks, officials said, the seventh in a record-breaking year of shark attacks for the state's coastal waters.
A hospital spokeswoman had no report of his condition Wednesday afternoon.
The man suffered wounds to his ribcage, lower leg, hip and both hands as he tried to fight off the animal, said Justin Gibbs, the director of emergency services in Hyde County. The attack happened around noon on a beach on Ocracoke Island, right in front of a lifeguard tower, he said.
"He was pulled under by the shark," said Gibbs, who said witnesses reported the animal was about 7 feet long.
Griffo: Prisoners are being coddled in state correctional facilities
Every day the two despicable inmates from the Dannemora prison facility were on the run brought yet another day of fears that the worst was yet to come from these violent and desperate individuals. Yet, more than three weeks later, it is with great relief and satisfaction that the bitter fates of these two escaped prisoners brought no further bloodshed than their own.
There was much that could have gone wrong during this manhunt. But the outstanding and professional members of our law enforcement agencies made it their mission to bring this chase to a safe conclusion, and we should all be proud and grateful that they ultimately fulfilled their duty. No matter the weather nor hardship, they never gave up. No matter the risks of scouring wooded areas where unknown dangers lurked, their courage never wavered. We thank these men and women of the law for their tireless dedication, and their assurance that our welfare will always be in good hands.
Newly elected St. Regis Mohawk Tribe leaders sworn in
AKWESASNE — Three tribal leaders were sworn into their new positions on Wednesday, as dozens of tribal members came out to support the new officials.
Tribal Chief Eric Thompson, Sub-Chief Cheryl Jacobs and Clerk Betty Roundpoint each took their turn to recite their oaths and address the members of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe.
Tribal Council Communications Director Brendan White introduced Chief Thompson, whom he credited with championing the interests of the tribe in Albany and Washington during his term as a sub-chief.
"Sovereignty is the most paramount concept that we have to protect and that we have to exercise in all our doings with one another and outside governments," said Mr. Thompson, the nephew of outgoing Tribal Chief Paul Thompson, who had served as a tribal chief for 10 years.

Dave & Buster's is the latest national chain heading to El Paso.
Dave & Buster's is the latest national chain heading to El Paso.
Kale? Say it ain't so, Ronald!
Living in Las Cruces my whole life and moving on up to the bigger city of El Paso I realized just how many restaurants in El Paso there are that should be in Las Cruces. Here are 7 I think should be in Las Cruces.
Is this the new McDonald's Hamburglar or 50 Shades of Fast Food?
On a budget? Trying to stretch your dollar? Here are a few places you can get a good cheap meal in El Paso
Thirteen of the best restaurants from El Paso gathered for one night to celebrate the love of food at a Taste of El Paso.
A couple of things you need to know:
Couple goes to Kansas City, Missouri
Couple tries ordering from restaurant called Voltaire.
Couple gets mad at employees for not doing take out.
Couple posts bad review to Yelp! and owner responds
Going out to eat should be a treat, but too often there are other distractions that can ruin the good time, the least of which are the litany of people you are bound to find.
El Paso area restaurants go through routine health inspections from time to time. Want to know how your favorite spots did?
Valentine's Day is Friday, and that means a lot of us will be going to dinner with our significant other. Dinner sounds lovely doesn't it? Well, when it's Valentine's Day dinner, there's a lot of added pressure being served up alongside the appetizer and entree
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and if you want to let someone else do the heavy lifting and just sit back and enjoy a great meal, there are a few places in town that will be open for you to nom nom nom on Turkey Day, and one that will be having Thanksgiving dinner this weekend
On the go for lunch like all of us? Sure there is this place and that place to eat, but what is the best choice when it comes to calories? Choose wisely my friends!

Back to Work: Looking Beyond the Play Button
February 04, 2015 by Eric Richardson
I've been back at KPCC for about four months now, and it's been a trip to drop back into code and ideas that I had left behind in 2012 when we headed east to Atlanta. There have definitely been times where I've wished code that I wrote back then wasn't still around to greet me, but on the whole it's been great to get to pick up the process of thinking about how radio works in the digital age.
Today some of that thinking actually gets into the hands of users. We just pushed a completely-rewritten version of KPCC's iPhone app that lets you rewind to the start of the currently-live program regardless of when you start listening. — Continue Reading...
New Chapters
October 01, 2014 by Eric Richardson
September was an eventful month.
On the 20th, Kathy and I became the very proud parents of a very little boy who shares the name Robert with one grandfather, two great grandfathers and a great-great grandfather.
And then yesterday I ended the month with my last day at Emcien, where I've been working for the last two-and-a-half years since moving to Atlanta. On Monday I (virtually) head back to my last job with KPCC, where I'll get to dive back into a lot of cool ideas about the future of radio.
During the time since I left, we've continued to slowly push forward on StreamMachine, the streaming audio server that I had written for the station. I'm very excited to get to ramp that work up and dive back into all the other cool things that we can do to deliver great content to listeners in this ever-more-connected world.
Making Recipes
November 21, 2013 by Eric Richardson
I brought this site out of mothballs last month by bemoaning how easy it was to fall behind on the things that we do for a living. I'm proud to say that I took my admonition to heart, and today this site is running on a newly spun-up virtual machine that is 100% built via automation.
I'm using Chef for configuration management, since that's what I use day-to-day at Emcien. My little one-server deployment gave me an excuse to try out their hosted product, as compared to the open-source server we're running. — Continue Reading...
Ten Days in Europe
November 20, 2013 by Eric Richardson
Nearly two months ago, Kathy and I returned from a whirlwind ten days in Europe. The purpose of the trip was to revisit a few of Kathy's favorite places from her semester in France, and along the way we discovered a new favorite in the Swiss Riviera.
Technical difficulties (see my post about falling behind) kept me from posting these favorite photos here earlier, but I think it is only right to eventually give them a public viewing.
Falling Behind
October 23, 2013 by Eric Richardson
It's funny sometimes how easy it is to fall behind personally in the very things that we do professionally.
At Emcien, my main role these days involves creating the processes we use to build our servers and infrastructure. That means a lot of building server images and a lot of thinking about how to make sure our environments are always running up to their potential. I spend a lot of my day writing recipes to make sure that we don't have to worry about our systems and whether a deploy was done correctly.
So imagine my surprise when I logged onto my long-neglected personal server yesterday and realized how much it was the antithesis of all those principles I stick to at work. — Continue Reading...

Thank you very much. The forest hid the view and I was lucky to find this small opening near the end of an abandoned road.

Colorado Avalanche (8-8-1) @ Pittsburgh Penguins (10-4-3) 7:30 pm/et TV: Versus, TSN2 CONSOL Energy Center, Pittsburgh, PA It looks like Tyler Kennedy may be in the line-up tonight, proving once and for all that his brain is tougher than Sidney Crosby's brain. Of course, Kennedy isn't a Ferrari, so he can probably just go to a regular mechanic to get repaired. Steve Sullivan might be in the line-up as well. Both players are game-time decisions. The Avalanche come to Pittsburgh tonight. We generally like the Avalanche. Matt Duchene is a great player and we still have fond memories of the Sakic/Forsberg days. However, the current Avalanche have won only three times in their last ten games and they only have three regulation wins all season. Remember when Colorado traded a first-round and a second-round pick to Washington for Semyon Varlamov? Yeah, those picks could be a pretty good. Season Series: 0-0-0 Last meeting that counted: Fe...

Overall Experience:
Very good school, close community
Party Scene:
A lot of people party, and some never stop.
Apply for every scholarship you can through school. Try to get as much financial aid as you can because it will help in the long run.
Greek Life:
I personally wouldn't do it but there is pros and cons to anything I guess.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are many different places for any price range so it is easy to find something affordable.
Off-Campus Dining:
I do not know what anyone would do without La Cabana.
For the most part the administration is great.
Campus Food:
The dining hall has horrible service. The food court is good but you easily get tired of only three things to choose from.
Campus Housing:
Phase one is by far the best housing but it is very expensive.
There isn't really a need for campus strictness. It's usually calm.
Off-Campus Housing:
You can expect to pay a higher rent if you wish to be close to campus unless you live in a lower quality apartment that is constantly turned over when students graduate.
Off-Campus Dining:
Off-campus dining isn't something to be enthused about unless you plan to leave town. Variety is slim and be aware of closing times.
Start your financial aid process early. Never wait until the very beginning of the semester if at all possible and always speak in person.
Campus Food:
Food choices on campus can be quite good at times, but they're all fairly expensive.
Campus Housing:
The Campus is small but very social and helpful.
Girls soccer and softball strong.
Off-Campus Housing:
Hard to find an apartment that is in good shape.
Off-Campus Dining:
A lot of restaurants that offer many options.
Most professors are very good. There are always going to be a couple that aren't great. But overall, had a good experience.
I think the financial aide office is very willing to work with every student.
Campus Housing:
Living on campus makes college life very accessible. Close to the library, classes, and cafeteria. Also being involved with social activities makes it nice.
Off-Campus Housing:
I don't live off-campus, but my friends think its okay.
Off-Campus Dining:
Just your regular old fast-food restaurants.
Party Scene:
I don't party those kids are just lunatics.
The teachers are amazing, but some are just their to tear you down.

We've implemented a number of usability improvements that should make your workflow in BuzzStream more efficient. These improvements will decrease the time you spend on tedious tasks so you can focus on building and maintaining contacts.
Bulk edit your 'Do Not Contact' list
BuzzStream is designed to serve as a central repository for all of your outreach relationships and it gives you a way to apply them to specific campaigns. As part of this, you have the ability to mark a domain or an email address with a "Do Not Contact" flag in BuzzStream. With this release, you can now quickly add in a list of email addresses or domains to your "Do Not Contact" list instead of adding them one at a time.
To add a list, just click on the gear icon in the top right-hand corner and go to the 'Do Not Contact Rules' page. Click on the 'Add' button and paste in your list.
Set Default Email Address For Projects
We've changed the way you set default emails in the project so that the app better supports the way most customers work across different projects. Now, when you start outreach in a project, you can set the default email address used for that project. This will ensure that you are always conducting outreach from the email address of your choice and will not impede your workflow as you reach out to your contacts. The process is really simple. When you first select an email address to send outreach, that email address will be set as the default. If you later change it, you will be asked if you'd like to set the new email address as your default.
Improved Outreach Behavior When You Click An Email Address
Prior to this release, when you clicked an email address from within the app you were usually directed to your mail client within the same tab. This was disruptive, so we've made the system much more intelligent. Now, as long as you've connected your email address to BuzzStream, we'll open our email composer with the "To" address populated with the email address you've just clicked. If you haven't connected your email address, we will simply open your email client in a new tab so your workflow isn't disrupted.
Show Payment Fields In The Buzzmarker
People love the Buzzmarker because it provides much of the flexibility and functionality you can find in BuzzStream from wherever you are on the web. This improvement gives you the ability to show payment fields when you set the acquisition method as "Purchase". It is no longer necessary to edit the contact from the BuzzStream app if you need to track payment info for your links.
Let Us Know What You Think!
Please let us know what you think – drop us an email at email@example.com, leave a comment, or tweet us @BuzzStream. We read every single message, and we'd love to hear from you as we continue to make BuzzStream more powerful and easier to use.
And if you don't already have a BuzzStream account, you can start a free trial today.

No, the police aren't our masters. Although they are paid to "serve and protect" us, the truth is that their interest is whatever the government tells them it should be and the governments get their instructions from whomever pays the ruling party most. The party, not the government. So pay all the parties that are likely to form governments and you will always get your way.

Exactly which part of this is moronic? I'll grant that the moderate religionists can be fine as long as they don't push their beliefs on others. The fundies are the worst in my book (and yes, I know Harris disagrees with me).<quoted text>
Here's your atheist doctrine.
1. There is something called "Faith" which can be defined as unjustified belief held in the teeth of the evidence. Faith is primarily a matter of false propositional belief.
2. The cure for faith is science: The existence of God is a scientific question: either he exists or he doesn't. "Science is the only way of knowing everything else is just superstition" [Robert L. Park]
3. Science is the opposite of religion, and will lead people into the clear sunlit uplands of reason. "The real war is between rationalism and superstition. Science is but one form of rationalism, while religion is the most common form of superstition" [Jerry Coyne] "I am not attacking any particular version of God or gods. I am attacking God, all gods, anything and everything supernatural, wherever and whenever they have been or will be invented." [Dawkins]
4. Religion exists. It is essentially something like American fundamentalist protestantism, or Islam. More moderate forms are false and treacherous: if anything even more dangerous, because they conceal the raging, homicidal lunacy that is religion's true nature.[Sam Harris]
5. Faith, as defined above, is the most dangerous and wicked force on earth today and the struggle against it and especially against Islam will define the future of humanity.[atheists]
Moronic, I know. But that's atheists for ya!
Other than that, which parts are false?

Line of punishing Midwest thunderstorms weakens - 0 Comments
ST. LOUIS — Punishing thunderstorms weakened Wednesday as they pushed across the Midwest, causing some flash-flooding and minor wind damage in parts of southern Illinois and eastern Missouri.
Widespread heavy rain slowed the commute for thousands of people in metro St. Louis and winds bowled over trees in the central part of Missouri, snapping electricity lines and leaving thousands without power.

County may seek permission to impose meals tax
Henrico County officials plan to petition the General Assembly in the coming months for the right to institute a meals tax in the county next year.
County Manager Virgil Hazelett suggested the idea to the five-member Board of Supervisors during a work session tonight, and it met with the board's unanimous support.
Hazelett, who is retiring in January, told supervisors that the county must find new sources of revenue to combat falling revenue from both real estate taxes and the state government.
"We lost $96 million in Fiscal Year 2011," he said. "I think it's time that we try to do this, for the future of Henrico County."
Implementation of a 4-percent meals tax would generate an estimated $18 million annually for the county, Hazelett told the board.
"As the economy improves, it will only increase," he said, while noting that about 40 percent of all meals purchased in the county are bought by non-Henrico residents.
State law permits the governing bodies of any Virginia city or town to enact a meals tax by a unanimous vote, but counties are required to put the issue to voters in a referendum. Henrico did so in 2005, but its proposed 4-percent meals tax was defeated by just 151 votes.
Hazelett's proposal to the General Assembly would require that implementation of such a tax be approved by a unanimous vote of the Board of Supervisors, to mirror the existing requirement of cities and towns.
There are 204 localities – including 45 counties – in Virginia that have a meals tax, Henrico's director of management and budget Brandon Hinton told the board. Five of those counties were granted the right by the General Assembly to impose such a tax, while voters in the other 40 approved the measure.
Richmond collects a 6-percent meals tax on all prepared meals purchased in the city.
Hazelett conceded that such a plan would not come without some controversy but suggested that the timing was right to make the attempt. Henrico and Arlington counties are the only two in Virginia that maintain their own roads, and Arlington has a meals tax.
"We are the only locality that maintains its own road system and lacks the ability to impose this tax," Hazelett told the board. "You are going to have difficult with this budget. You need to consider this – the General Assembly needs to consider this."
The board is expected to present the request to Henrico's General Assembly delegation at a Nov. 7 dinner.
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.
'Proof of Heaven' coming to Glen Allen
Dr. Even Alexander, a New York Times best-selling author who has been featured on Oprah and Dr. Oz, was in town last week to promote his June 27 talk, "Proof of Heaven," at Glen Allen High School.

Pixar's 'Inside Out' is a magnificent, emotional ride

And probably three or four more (if movies had instruction manuals, Inside Out's would be the size and general poundage of a cinder block).
It's a complicated movie. So here's the gist, in as simply-put terms can be. > Read more.

Very easy to find, easy to find parking, close to lots of amenities. We arrived late at night, tired from driving.. the front desk guy was very nice and helpful. Our room was very easy to find. A lot of things in there were very outdated.. and I cut my ankle on a big metal part that was coming out of the bed. Also, don't get me started on the shower... there wasn't the usual hot and cold things, there were 3. Each one would change the temperatures in very weird, nonconsistant ways.. it took us about 20 minutes to get the shower to a normal temperature.

whatare you looking forward to in the NFL
Stephon Gilmore (2:04 PM)
Just looking forward to being in the dream you always have growing up playing in the NFL. And playing against the greatest players in the NFL.
favoritefootball memory?
Stephon Gilmore (2:05 PM)
Beating Alabama when they were the No. 1 team in the country my sophomore year.
hardest workout to do?
Stephon Gilmore (2:06 PM)
I don't really think that any workout is hard, if you're in shape. I keep myself in shape, so nothing's that hard. I try to keep myself going.
Andrew (Boston)
Hey Stephon, would love to see you in a Patriots uniform next year, but best of luck regardless. My high school football coach played for the Gamecocks back in the day. Kind of a different question, but who are some of the other players that are coming out in this year's draft that you think will make an impact in the NFL next year? Either guys you've played against or who played with you in South Carolina.
Stephon Gilmore (2:07 PM)
The only people that I really talk to are Alshon Jeffrey and Ingram from my team. We just talk about going to the next level and we want to see what kind of impact we can make next year.
Stephon Gilmore (2:07 PM)
And thank you for the good luck.
guy you want to cover?
Stephon Gilmore (2:08 PM)
Not really. There are a lot of good receivers in the NFL. There's not really one guy I want to cover.
Stephon Gilmore (2:08 PM)
Thank you for your support. Thank you for everything you've done for me. Go Gamecocks!

CBI chargesheets Malegaon accused Rakesh Dhawde
New Delhi: Nearly 10 months after the reopening of 2006 Nanded blast, CBI has chargesheeted Rakesh Dhawde, an accused in the Malegaon blasts, for allegedly arranging arms training for carrying out blasts in Muslim-dominated areas.
Dhawde, a Pune-based antique arms dealer, was accused by
the CBI of allegedly organising camps where training was being
imparted to cadres who later formed Abhinav Bharat, a right
wing terror group, official sources said.
The CBI has reopened investigations into the 2006 Nanded
blast, which is being seen as a key indicator to a Hindutva
group`s involvement in terror activities.
The decision to reopen the case was taken after leads had
emerged during the investigations into the Malegaon case in
which 11 people, including Lt Col Shrikant Purohit, have been
The CBI had charge-sheeted ten people in the Nanded case.

The Americans for the Arts Emerging Leader Network works to identify and cultivate the next generation of arts leaders in America. It is an ideal way for new leaders to share their interests with others as they continue to develop their skills and their commitment to the arts. The Emerging Leader Network targets professionals who are either new to the field, with up to five years of experience, or are 35 years of age or younger. Visit AmericansForTheArts.org for more information on the Emerging Leader Network.
Arts Administrator Wages: Reaction to the 2013 Salary Survey
In reflecting upon the results of the Americans for the Arts salary survey three things arise for me. The first is the issue of wages. The second is the issue of demographics; both of which are immediately addressed in the Executive Summary for the piece. The third issue that derives from the first two is the question of relevance.
When we address the first issue, that of wages, the question that surfaces for me is, relative to what? When we examine our wages in relationship to each other are we perpetuating a construct in which not enough becomes normative? I am completely alert to the fact that I am constrained when contemplating wages and wage increases for my staff, knowing that each worker will add to a cost structure that is difficult to sustain. And, if I am not able to pay reasonably well, I am unlikely to attract and retain the talent that will help to create the mission impact my organization aspires to. Read the rest of this entry »
Local Art Agency Salaries: Measuring Up
Local arts agencies are like snow flakes. Each one is unique. Geographic region, cost of living, population size, budget size, staff size, number and type of programs, reporting structures, government entity or 501c3… These factors are all variables in defining the local art agency. In turn, they are also factors affecting the salaries of agency staff members. While each agency is unique, Americans for the Arts' Research Report: Local Arts Agency Salaries 2013 highlights trends, commonalities and areas requiring a conscientious endeavor to improve.
There are glaring issues highlighted in the report: the ethnic diversity of agency staff, gender diversity and gender equality. As a field, there is clearly more work that needs to be done here. We must be deliberate about identifying opportunities to improve ethnic and gender equality.
Another important issue is age. The data reports that the average age of the full-time employee is 52.5 years. Let's continue to engage the next generation in the relevance of our work and empower them as leaders. There are many good programs and initiatives looking to move the needle on succession planning in our field. Skill development, networking, mentorship, and hiring of young professionals are areas that all agency leaders should consider part of their responsibilities. Read the rest of this entry »
A Diversity Problem in Arts Administration: The 2013 Salary Survey Reaction
Artists and their art are as diverse as our communities, but arts administrators are not. After reviewing the Local Arts Agencies Salaries 2013 research report, one thing jumped out at me: The arts administration field has a diversity problem. It's not shocking to me that the salaries of arts administrators are not commensurate with their skills, education, experience, and responsibility (I have friends working at a utility company as coordinators who make more than Art EDs) but the demographics, although somewhat expected, are disconcerting. Ninety-two percent of the report's respondents who identified as Executive Directors or CEOs are white. Eighty-six percent of the overall respondents are white.
The American for the Arts national convention gave me a lot to ponder about race and demographics, particularly Manuel Pastor's presentation and the numerous conversations I had with my fellow Emerging Leaders on the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy report Fusing Arts, Culture and Social Change.
Growing up in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of East Los Angeles, a working poor Latino neighborhood, I did not know any white people (aside from those on television) until I started college. Even in college, I never felt like a "minority" because there were always plenty of people with backgrounds similar to my own. It wasn't until I began working in the arts field that the label "minority" seemed appropriate for me. In the subsequent years at many of the arts meetings, conferences, and events, I was the only Latino attending. I found it very strange. In Los Angeles, where whites make up only 27% of the population, they made up the vast majority of the local arts administration field. I came to understand that when the cultural diversity of a community is not reflected in the individuals attempting to serve the community, the very act of communicating becomes a barrier, which limits the knowledge of needs, wants, and opportunities.

Where Ecosystems Collide
The greatest biodiversity in the world occurs at the fringes between two ecosystems. That's what I heard last month when hearing a panel discuss the intersection of arts and natural resources. The panel included a nature photographer, an education expert from Zoo Atlanta* and a landscape architect amongst others. It was fascinating to hear about people's work at the spaces between the arts and other fields. It was a technical and ecologically specific fact, but one that likely resonates with all those working at the fringes of very different worlds.
Planning for Diversity
Last summer, the board of our metropolitan planning organization, the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), voted unanimously to add arts, culture and creative industries into their scope of regional planning. Arts and culture were brought into a dialogue with transportation, land use, aging services, natural resources, workforce development and other regional planning priorities. The integration of arts into the functional areas of planning means the incredible resources and tools available at the commission are now being leveraged to help create solutions to the challenges that exist within the cultural community.
The creativity of my colleagues never ceases to astound me. While I thought it might be a challenge to talk about the fringes between the worlds of watershed protection and the arts, my peers who work to protect the Chattahoochee River Corridor, for example, were full of ideas about where these intersections occur. Land use planners, those who work with lifelong communities and transportation experts have all articulated what is unique about bringing arts and culture to the table, and what their field will be able to do with these new tools that they would not be able to accomplish otherwise. Diversity thrives where the fringe between ecosystems overlap.
Biodiversity in the Arts Ecosystem
The biggest challenges exist for our work not when we discuss where the creative industries meet other sectors but where we try to find the common ground within our own sector where areas of the creative industries overlap. Read the rest of this entry »
Moving On…
This is my 149th ARTSblog post as a writer. It's also my last—at least as a staff member here at Americans for the Arts.
I have been with the organization for almost six years and started blogging four years ago (after becoming ARTSblog editor a little over two years ago).
In those two years, I have tried to write, recruit, or find at least one relevant post per day to publish on the site. Some weeks were easier than others, but it is pretty amazing to see the depth and breadth of the quality of the posts that I have had the pleasure of adding to the site.
And, of course, I can't help but think of the 20 Blog Salons I have worked on along with the fantastic program staff at the organization who work hard to find the bloggers, gather the posts, pictures, and profiles, and send them along to me for editing, formatting, and social media promotion.
While those weeks are some of the more stressful due to the work that it all entails, I think the fantastic collection of resources in the right side bar speaks for itself.
I'm leaving ARTSblog in the perfectly capable hands of our marketing and communications staff members, but I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for visiting our little corner of the web to read, comment, and share the amazing work of our bloggers.
Americans for the Arts represents a diverse group of interests—from arts administrators to marketing professionals to advocates to arts-education-supporting parents—and I hope that my work on the site has represented you at one point or another. If it hasn't, I hope you will consider adding your voice to the mix sometime soon.
Until next time…
Getting to Know Our Staff: Ten Questions with…Valerie Beaman
We recently launched a new series on ARTSblog that spotlights the staff at Americans for the Arts that I call "Ten Questions with…", in which I will ask everyone the same questions and see where it takes us.
This time I have turned to Valerie Beaman who currently serves as Private Sector Initiatives Coordinator.
1. Describe your role at Americans for the Arts in 10 words or less:
Program planner, council wrangler, seeker of speakers and bloggers, herder
2. What do the arts mean to you?
In my family it was an anomaly if you weren't involved in the arts in some way. We are all a bunch of introverts and eccentrics who've managed to stay sane by participating in the arts. My first stage experience was as a fairy in A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Redlands Bowl at age 3 ½. I still get goose bumps when I hear Mendelssohn's music for the entrance of the fairies! Experiences like that never leave you. It's very important to me to that children everywhere have an opportunity to connect with the arts. They're a lifesaver. Read the rest of this entry »
Largest Symposium Ever Proves Successful (an EALS Post)
Once again, the Emerging Arts Leaders Symposium (EALS) at American University has proven to be a smashing success. The EALS is in its sixth year of existence. The event is an annual meeting of students and young professionals who work in the arts that is held at American University. As national partners with Americans for the Arts, EALS is the official kick off for Arts Advocacy Day, and is held the day before.
It is an opportunity to engage in quality discussion about issues, unique or universal, that affect arts organizations with students, peers, and experienced leaders in the field. Past keynote speakers have included Rachel Goslins, Ben Cameron, Bob Lynch, and Adrian Ellis. All symposium activities and planning is organized and executed by a selected committee of American University Arts Management students.
The framework of EALS 2013 was "Looking to the Horizon." Each speaker and panel discussed the new and innovative strategies and ideas coming down the road in each of the topics addressed that day. These topics included international arts management, marketing, audience engagement, career advancement, innovative organization models, and fundraising.
As the Executive Chair, I am elated to report that EALS 2013 was by far the largest and most successful Symposium ever. Counting the speakers, attendees, staff, and volunteers, 225 people walked through the doors on Sunday, April 7. That proved to be well over double last year's number, a record growth for the Symposium. Read the rest of this entry »
The Emerging Leader Vision of Moving Communities to the Next Level
Having been engaged with the Emerging Leaders Network for several years now, I remain thoroughly impressed with those whom this network connects me to. These individuals represent a group of next generation leaders filled with great capacity, innovative approaches, and a strong vision for how to strengthen their organizations, the arts field, and their communities.
Over the course of the Emerging Leaders Blog Salon these past five days, we had the privilege to meet 22 more of these arts leaders, each filled with insightful and passionate approaches to what they feel would make where they live a better place or bring it to the next level.
In a time where we are both witnesses and participants to massive change on local and global scales—both in the arts & culture field and in the general landscape of our communities—we as arts administrators need to be ready to tackle the challenge of using art as a catalyst for the betterment of the places and the people we belong to.
And after reading through these posts this week, I'd say we're up for the challenge.
We've heard a wide range of ideas, including incentivizing an arts district and cultural planning; the challenge of making an arts and culture identity known when it sits in the shadow of a major city or a large tourism industry; and ideas on how we can create social bridges, claim public space, and enable the ability of a community to tell their own story.

Reduce Crime & SCURVY in Your Town – Grow Public Fruit!
My headline was intended to be something of an eye-catcher—who can resist a story about crime and scurvy, right?
Best of all, my claim is true. The thinking goes something like this:
- Scurvy, the clinical manifestation of vitamin C deficiency, is on the rise in developed nations. In the United Kingdom, for example, reported cases of childhood scurvy rose 57% between 2005–2008.
- Public health studies indicate that poverty is driving the re-emergence of the disease.
- Access to free, fresh, vitamin-c rich foods will reduce incidents of scurvy.
Ergo: planting fruit trees and vegetables in public spaces will reduce scurvy.
And what about crime, I hear you ask? Well, since 2008, a project in Todmorden, UK, has been growing fruits and vegetables in seventy public beds dotted around the town.
The produce is free to whoever chooses to pick it, and, as Incredible Edible co-founder Pam Warhurst explains: "The police have told us that, year on year, there has been a reduction in vandalism since we started." She continues: "If you take a grass verge that was used as a litter bin and a dog toilet and turn it into a place full of herbs and fruit trees, people won't vandalise it."

A Community That Values Its Own Commitment to the Local Arts!
What would make where I live a better place?
I want Broome Country, upstate New York to value its own commitment to the local arts. Own it! That is, I don't want to have to have to feel the need to convince my graduate students and other community members—friends and colleagues—that the arts in Broome County, are diverse, vibrant and, yes, cutting edge.
The evidence is out there. In practice, the community—my students included—of Broome County supports and attends arts and cultural experiences and events, but I am finding we don't always value this commitment we have for the local arts. Let me explain.
I first started noticing this with my students. I teach a nonprofit administration graduate class in a Masters in Public Administration program. In the class we emphasize capacity for community-based practice and discuss various policy areas such as social services, work development and yes, the arts. When I asked my students who had recently (in the last two weeks) attended an arts and cultural event, all—every single one of my students—confirmed they had. Activities and events shouted out were attending a local history museum, participating in the city's monthly Art Walk, going to a local theatre production, screening an independent film at a local nonprofit organization.
While certainly not a representative, scientific sample, it surprised me. It surprised me because I consistently feel I need to convince my students of the cultural aliveness of our community. As I am trying to convince my students, they brush me off as being just easily excitable. Meanwhile they are actively participating in this cultural aliveness and don't even realize. They don't value the arts community that they are creating. Essentially they don't value what they value. Read the rest of this entry »
A City, and an Artist, Finding Their Authentic Creative Voice
It was during my third year as an undergraduate art student (Go Slugs!) that I met Frank, my abstract painting professor.
I'd never been more frustrated with a syllabus or a teacher in my whole life as I'd been with Frank. He gave us rules by having none. "Paint like you mean it," he would say. "But don't think about it. And don't really mean it."
The careful, thoughtful, planner inside me cringed every day in that studio. I didn't understand what I was supposed to do, so I constantly monitored what everyone else was doing and followed instructed suit.
The bi-product: A six-foot tall canvas spread wildly with a cake frosting texture of Alizarin Crimson and Flake White oils. It took me over a month to create and countless two a.m. sessions to perfect.
I hated it. Truly—I gutturally despised it. It didn't get better when I squinted my eyes. Or when I turned it upside-down. Frank loved it the moment he laid his eyes on it. "This is the best thing I've seen this year," he gushed, hands literally clasped to his cheeks. Read the rest of this entry »
Bringing Backstage Onstage with Social Media
Imagine, if we saw social media more like an artist's studio or cafe and less like a marketing channel?
While walking through the exhibit, Building: Inside Studio Gang Architects at the Arts Institute Chicago last November, I felt like I was seeing into the private design space of the architect.
The exhibit was an installation of an architect's studio with concept drawings, full-scale project mockups, material samples, and photographs of completed work that now form part of the Chicago city skyline. This exhibit was a celebration of the work of the artist behind their city stage.
The work of the artist backstage, however, many don't experience. The space is unorganized and cluttered; the work in progress, being constructed, deconstructed, is unpredictable and incomplete. This is why many artists and arts managers do not openly bring backstage onstage and into the public eye—because it is messy.
Imagine for a moment, however, if we did? Read the rest of this entry »
Are You Living in an Arts Suburb?
Full disclosure here: when I relocated to Silicon Valley in 2009, I told my friends and family in Ohio that I was "moving to San Francisco."
At that point in time, the two were basically synonymous in my mind—Palo Alto was, to me, a "San Francisco suburb" that happened to be the home of Facebook, and most of what I knew of San Jose came from the Dionne Warwick song.
San Francisco's cultural reputation is what brought me to California, and because of that city's reputation, it took me more than a year to really connect with the artistic community in my own back yard.
Silicon Valley has an interesting dynamic. We're known worldwide for innovation, creativity, and our DIY atmosphere. The technologies being created here are changing world culture in new and revolutionary ways.
Silicon Valley has a population of 3 million to San Francisco's 800,000. Why is it, then, that so many of our residents feel that they need to travel north to "The City" for an artistic or cultural experience?
What can we, as an artistic community, do to build a reputation that holds up to the high bar our tech industry has set? Are we destined to be known San Francisco's cultural suburb? Read the rest of this entry »
New to the Community: A Love Story Set to Beethoven
I am a fairly recent transplant to a city with a vibrant arts scene chock-full of healthy arts organizations, beautiful parks and architecture, wonderful public art, a squadron of young professionals getting involved, and our very own culinary smorgasbord: a signature chili (you either love it or you hate it), mouthwatering ice cream, and questionable breakfast meat.
Where is this cultural mecca, you might ask? It's Cincinnati, OH.
Cincinnati's varied offerings come with an equally diverse community of people. But like many cities, Cincinnati could get to the next level by seeing art and artistic involvement that connects all of us, not just the arts-prone.
The Cincinnati ethos is evolving, and many organizations are doing great things to get engagement that is more reflective of our community and encourages we locals to put our personal stamp on the Queen City.
Recently, after two years of living in Cincinnati, I fell in love. With Cincinnati.
It happened in the most unlikely of places: the concert hall. Read the rest of this entry »
The Space Race
There are a few things I have come to believe are true: Justin Bieber's monkey is more famous than I will ever be; there are more self-proclaimed artists in the world than at any time in history; and the arts are the next big export—both here in Washington, D.C., and abroad.
All three of these truths lead to a problem we have in our cultural communities. We need more space.
With YouTube, an iPad, and Kickstarter, anyone can create and distribute art while sitting in front of the computer in their underwear (no…not THAT kind of art). Some artists can even launch careers from the keyboard. But it is not enough to think of art as an activity performed in isolation, behind the curtain of technology.
I have learned that many people in my community feel the same way. Sure, it's easy to rehearse and perform a play in your living room, read chamber music in a basement, and labor over paintings in the garage for hours—but if no one sees your art, does it have any real impact?
While finding performance space is often the key stumbling block, locating adequate rehearsal (or studio) space is an equally important challenge. Without an appropriate place to cultivate art, there is no true quality control of the product. Don't believe me? Ask a dancer. Read the rest of this entry »
