CHICAGO, Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The University of Chicago Graham School of Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies and The Hyde Park Art Center are pleased to announce the launch of a new Visual Arts Certificate Program beginning in January 2013. This unique program, the first such partnership in the country, allows artists and arts professionals a chance to blend classroom instruction with studio experience, providing them with the skills they need to thrive in the Chicago arts community. The program is poised to provide a new model for how artists train, thrive, and find a critical community throughout their careers.
The Visual Arts Certificate program consists of four quarter-long courses offered at the Graham School aimed at providing crucial instruction on how to conduct a financially solvent and professional arts practice. These courses will provide instruction in how to educate those interested in pursuing the arts, create compelling artist submissions and statements, submit curatorial proposals, expand contacts within the larger arts community, develop meaningful relationships with galleries, and define successful business strategies.
In addition to completing the four Graham School courses, certificate program artists will be able to complete a studio component at The Hyde Park Art Center. Most artists will apply to their newest program, "The Center Program." This seminar-style course begins in February 2013, meets bi-weekly for six months, and connects participants to professionals in the field who will guide artists in developing new work to be exhibited in the Art Center's main gallery in August of 2013. The Hyde Park Art Center will also offer other studio options. Upon completion of the four Graham School courses and the studio component at The Hyde Park Art Center, students will receive a certificate from the University of Chicago Graham School.
Potential candidates for the Visual Arts Certificate Program include artists who have a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Master of Fine Arts or are self-taught artists who work in visual arts related fields. These jobs may include teaching or writing about art, or managing an arts related business like a gallery, art center, art museum, or art publication.

Three Tips for Taking an Unplugged VacationJune 18, 2013 • By Michael Fraser, PhD, Internet Addiction Topic Expert Contributor
Taking a vacation isn't what it used to be. The concept of "getting away" seems to be disappearing from our traditional idea of what it means to be on vacation. Smartphones, laptops, and tablets—all amazing technologies—have redefined the "portable office" to such a degree that many people have a hard time leaving the office behind.
Meanwhile, video gaming, social networks, and a seemingly infinite array of online streaming content define the landscape that our children navigate. These technologies make up what I call the "portable entertainment center."
Nowadays, along with our suitcases, sunscreen, and coolers come our portable work/play screens of various shapes and sizes. But as much as the technological explosion has delivered convenience, connectivity, and fun to our lives, it has also brought with it a bundle of unnecessary, unwanted arguments over misuse of the technology.
Find a Therapist
How many couples have too often heard the question, "Can't you put that phone down?" or the accusation, "You pay more attention to that screen than you do to me!" Parents, how many of you have found yourselves competing with a screen for your child's attention, in some cases triggering messy tantrums or teenage pout-fests that make you wish the Internet was never invented?
The fact is these faster, smaller, more portable technologies pose a major challenge to us all. This challenge, in my opinion, is to ensure that we maintain control over the devices rather than be controlled by them, and to make sure they don't interfere in a negative way more often than they enhance our lives.
Below, I offer three tips to keep in mind before you leave home that I hope will contribute to more peace and enjoyment on your trip. After all, isn't this why you're going on vacation?
Tip No. 1: Preparing for the Vacation
- At work: Prepare your coworkers, employees, and team members for your time away. Before mobile technology existed, people found a way to get away with only a land telephone line between them and the office. It's still possible. But if your workmates believe you are reachable, guess what? They will expect you to be reachable and they will reach you. If possible—and this is possible if you take the time to blueprint it—delegate and prepare your workmates to make decisions in your absence. Prepare them for the expectation that you will not be reachable. You will be on "vacation." If absolutely necessary, agree to an emergency plan whereby they should contact you only in the event of an emergency. Be sure to define exactly what constitutes an emergency. You deserve time to recharge your batteries. You will be more valuable to your business when you return.
- With your significant other: Have a discussion about technology on your getaway. Talk about the laptop, the tablet, the smartphone. How will these be used? The trick is that these technologies can be used in so many other vacation-enhancing ways—taking pictures, video, coordinating meet-ups (via texting, etc.), as a map/GPS, as a search engine for attractions, reviews, etc. Commit to a plan that excludes (or minimizes) checking work emails, playing solitary games, and any other activity that would disconnect you from your partner and detract from your vacation experience. Remember, you left your daily routine to "get away." Once you are away, act like you're away.
- With your family: As with the previous two, planning is everything. The vacation starts way before you pack your bags. Get your kids excited! Get them involved in the planning way in advance. Set clear boundaries about how electronic devices will be used. The last thing you want to do is argue over "screens" while you are on what should be a stress-relieving time away together. I can guarantee you will be frustrated and will have an angry child/teen on your hands if you decide "on the fly" to take away a device because his or her face has been buried in a screen for too long. As fun as technology can make life, if anyone feels that he or she can't have fun without an electronic device, there may be a larger problem.
Tip No. 2: Planning Activities
- Take an active role in planning your time. Most people tend to "go to" their screens because they "feel" a need to do so when they have nothing better to do. Most of the time, it is done simply out of habit or boredom. If you are traveling with family, prepare nonelectronic activities and games. Make it fun. Kids don't typically just want to sit and stare at their parents and be told to "find something" to do. Parents should take an active role by planning fun activities to choose from—e.g., board games, outdoor excursions, explorations of the area, etc. Whether it's with your children or your significant other, be proactive in planning fun activities that everyone can get excited about well in advance. Parents: Talk with your children about what they'd like to do. When they have more of a role in choosing the activity (be it indoor or outdoor), they are more likely to engage in it with you as a family, rather than feeling forced to do "the family thing." Ask yourself: Are we doing something on our vacation getaway that we could just as easily do at home (e.g., staring at a screen)?
- Locate and get your hands on the local papers, circulars, periodicals, and magazines. Learn what's going on locally. Take part in the activities and get involved! Have a contest to see who can come up with the most ideas for what to do without using an online search engine. To up the ante, see who can go the longest period of time without using their phone or other electronic screen while on your vacation. Some travel agencies specialize in "technology-free" vacations, recognizing the importance of "digital detox."
Tip No. 3: Plan and Stick To a Check-In Time for Urgent Information
If you absolutely cannot go without checking your email or other technology-related tasks while on vacation, plan a designated "check-in" time. Inform your workmates so they can succinctly share only crucial information you need to know, and only information that absolutely cannot wait until your return. Arrange a specific time and place for the check-in. Share this plan this with your partners and family members so they know what to expect. This strategy is a good way to alleviate unwanted work-related anxiety and interpersonal tension. For parents of teens who feel they must stay connected to their peers via an electronic screen, create a plan that you can all agree is fair and will not be disruptive to your vacation.
If you can follow these tips to better balance your use of electronics on your trip, remember that these strategies can also be effective when you return home.
Keep in mind we are all still learning how to manage the unprecedented access we have to mobile technology. Going "unplugged" should not feel like a punishment. When technology shifts from being a fun-filled choice to a compulsion that people feel they can't go without, it may be an indication of a larger problem. These three tips should put you on your way to a more fulfilling and relaxing vacation!

With all of the technology literally at our fingertips, is there a such thing as going totally unplugged these days?
It sounds good when you first start thinking about trying it. . .
but then you start wondering about all of the information that you could miss by not checking your phone, your email, Facebook, Twitter, all of those other littel programs that literally have us by the you know whats.
I would love to say I could do it, but I am probably as guilty as the nest person, in that I would be sneaking around looking for a wifi signal.
HankJune 20th, 2013 at 4:27 AM
I agree with Sandrine. I don't really think that going unplugged for a vacation is really even a possibility anymore. I think that in my line of work there is a connection between me and my clients and if they need me, even when I am away, I need to be there for them. The economy is still not the strongest, we all know that, and sometimes people will think that if they can't get in touch with me when they need me, that maybe there is someone else out there right then and there who could help them and I lose an account. I know that loyal customers would not do that but what about those with whom I have just started working? Are they loyal enough to wait a wekk until I get home, or should I just suck it up and do the ordering and such for them while I am on vacation? I think that I prefer to keep that customer loyal and confident in me and take just a little time every day to help them out. My family understands that this is how we maintain all that we have and get to do, so I think that as long as they are all right with it then this is how I will continue to operate.
maryJune 20th, 2013 at 1:24 PM
I don't get the big deal about technology. It's not the end of the world people! Modern tech is not inherently bad for you ok? I think if someone wants to play words with friends or whatever on vacation that is not a problem.
graceJuly 26th, 2013 at 6:30 AM
Wow! Talk about dependency! I understand the need to use technology if you have a job that requires you to be on call while you are away or if you have your own business. But too much of anything is not good. Are you really that hooked to technology that you can't enjoy life without it? There's a world of options out there for fun an relaxation that don't require being "plugged in."
SueApril 7th, 2014 at 2:46 AM
I wish that all homeowners would become more aware of the serious dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Every year more than twenty people are needlessly killed by this odourless,
colourless gas leaking from faulty gas boilers together with hundreds more who suffer
serious ill health because of it.

Eric Church Disses The Voice, Blake Shelton and American Idol
Them's fighting words!
In a recent Rolling Stone interview, country music star Eric Church went off on NBC's The Voice, taking aim at mentors Blake Shelton, 35, and Cee Lo Green, 37. "Honestly, if Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green f-cking turn around in a red chair, you got a deal?" he sniped. "That's crazy. I don't know what would make an artist do that. You're not an artist."
PHOTOS: Celebrity feuds -- whose side are you on?
Church, 34, added that he would never appear on a show like The Voice or American Idol. "If I was concerned about my legacy, there's no f-cking way I would ever sit there," he said. "Once your career becomes about something other than the music, then that's what it is. I'll never make that mistake. I don't care if I f-ckng starve."
The "Drink in My Hand" singer complained that country music is dominated by former American Idol contestants, including Carrie Underwood, 29, Kellie Pickler, 25, and Scotty McCreery, 18.
Church's comments didn't sit well with Shelton, who tweeted: "I wish I misunderstood this. . ."
PHOTOS: Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood and more Southern stars!
Shelton's wife of one year, Miranda Lambert, 28, was more direct. "Thanks Eric Church for saying I'm not a real artist. Or Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban. You're welcome for the tour in 2010." (Lambert finished third on Nashville Star in 2003; she has since won 10 Academy of Country Music Awards.)

This is my own personal opinion, but Mr. Ferguson forgot a couple of the most important "apps". those apps are freedom and the education of the masses. Freedom meant that you had the right to tell the government that you were not happy with the way they were running things without getting your head chopped off. Freedom to have a say in how taxes were spent. Freedom to tell your boss at work that you don't have to work for slave wages without being kicked out of a house that you didn't own. Education should have been the top app. instead barely got a mention. Education allows people to make smarter choices that affect their future and their children's future. it is a compound affect that gets bigger and bigger as time goes by. the reasons for the decline of western civilization is quite simple. the people who run corporations and have the largest portion of the wealth have been degrading the public education system for the last 50 years. and at the same time taking away our personal freedoms. The right' to protest and strike for better wages and working conditions through collective bargaining. Also our elections have become more and more fraught with corruption and allegations of impropriety. The banking institutions are are so corrupt people are afraid to put their hard earned money into them. as for free trade that is a myth perpetrated by the rich to play the working classes off against each other. there is not free trade between countries where one guy makes $30.00 per hour and the other guy makes $30.00 a month. you can use any argument you want I won't swallow that horse####.

Comments & conversations
Child raising can be put into very simple terms. your job as the parent is to guide your child down the road of developement. teaching them were the edges of the road are. teach them to read the road signs so they know where they are going. provide a good roadmap of all the streets and highways. hold onto them until they demonstrate a proficiency in negotiating the road then let go and hope they remember which way to turn when you are no longer in the car with them. As for the rest, only they should decide which road to take in life, and make there own roadmap for their kids. if you try and stay in the car to long you will only make them unsafe drivers that worry over whether they are making the right choice or whether you will approve of what they are doing. If they have a little accident pick them up dust them off put them back in the car. sorry for the car reference professional driver.
Anita: First let me say that your mother is not a failure. she brought into this world and raised you with enough sense to ask this question of yourself, and indeed to the world. so you tell her kudos from me. next I am not sure if we can change from a capitlistic wealth driven society. at least I don't see it happening in the near future. What we can do is try to correct some of the things that is wrong with our current system of wealth and power. I have read most of the comments on here from individuals such as James Walker, Andrea Walstrom, etc. some of the things they discussed like Henry Ford, Edison, and the Industrial revolution, are only tangents in the bigger picture of a society moving forward and evolving. We humans are so immature in the big scheme of things. I think for the moment if we just put some guidelines on what we can and cannot do to measure success we will do just fine. some of those guidelines that should be put into place are education for everyone who wants it. stop teaching to the slowest person in our class rooms. All the wealth should not be allowed to pile up at one end of the spectrum (what does 1 person need with a 100 billion dollars?) that's hoarding! My mother used to make these amazing cinnamon rolls when i was a child. I always wanted to eat them all at once. but she said if I did that then I would make myself sick, and she was right. to much of anything is bad for you, even if it's good. the same can be said for business and capitalism. A little goes a long way. and rampant runaway capitalism makes our society sick. It becomes a cancer that feeds on itself with greed and coruption running rampant. starving the base of society till it all comes tumbling to the ground. For those at the top with all the money if you would just give some of that largess to causes that further human education, and ease the suffering of those that no longer have, you too will be a success at being a human being.

Giving Back All Part of Being a Gopher
May 17, 2012
By Kim Conley, Athletic Communications Student Assistant
Giving back to the community just seems to be in the DNA of Gopher student-athletes.
Over the past year, University of Minnesota student-athletes have significantly increased their community involvement efforts.
More than 82% of Golden Gopher student-athletes volunteered at least once in the past year. Although athletes volunteered for roughly the same number of events as the previous year, their total volunteer efforts improved by a respectable 2,117 hours.
The Department of Student-Athlete Affairs at the University of Minnesota is committed to community outreach, career development, and personal development of its student-athletes.
"We strive to build and develop great leaders," Anissa Lightner said. Lightner is the Assistant Director of Student-Athlete Affairs.
Between April 1, 2011 and April 30, 2012, student-athletes volunteered for a total of 12,147.9 hours. The Student-Athlete Affairs Department organized 223 events, resulting in 4,714.5 hours of community service. Athletes contributed an additional 7,433.4 hours through their own volunteering efforts.
"Student-athletes are not required to volunteer for events," Lightner said. "Rather, they are part of a culture that encourages involvement and creates opportunities for teams and individuals."
There are a variety of events throughout the year for which athletes can volunteer their time. Opportunities range from reading to elementary students, visiting children in hospitals, helping with fundraising efforts for cystic fibrosis, and educating children on living a tobacco-free lifestyle.
Student-athletes volunteer for events through an online system where they can view and sign up for events online. Events are updated weekly, so they can easily see which ones fit into their academic and training schedules.
Some of the key programs run by the Department of Student-Athlete Affairs include a tobacco-free program, a reading program that focuses on goal-setting and excelling in the classroom, and an "Exercise your Heart and Mind" campaign, which promotes women in the fields of math and science.
Also, their "Eat Smart, Play Hard" program was recently revamped by Josh Hall (men's swimming) and Lucy Ennis(women's gymnastics). "Eat Smart, Play Hard" works to combat childhood obesity by promoting exercise among children as well as educating them on healthy snack choices.
"The program is more kid-friendly and interactive now, with more engaged activities," Lightner said. "Josh and Lucy made videos, dances, and have really worked hard to make the program fun and memorable for the kids. Their efforts and development make me very proud."
In addition, Student-Athlete Affairs works with the Boys and Girls Club and the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, where current and former student-athletes act as mentors to children in need. They also do a lot work with HopeKids, an organization that reaches out to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. They are responsible for setting up fun events like an annual HopeKids Day on campus each September as well as private movie and play screenings.
Camp Odayin is a particularly special event for senior Nathan Jobe, a member of the men's swimming and diving team. Camp Odayin is a camp for children with heart disease. It is a full-day event that takes place in Northern Minnesota in August. About 10 student-athletes take a bus to volunteer at the camp. They play outdoor games with the children, swim and eat lunch with them, and hand out prizes and sign autographs.
"This community outreach experience was by far my favorite," Jobe said. "I got to act like a kid again and be a role model for young children. I had the privilege of sharing my story of how I became successful in academics and athletics. My hope was to inspire these children with life-threatening illnesses to dream big and not let any obstacle get in their way."
Volunteering for these kinds of events may benefit student-athletes more than they realize. It is also an opportunity to network with people in different fields and build connections. But learning important career lessons is really just a bonus. The underlying message is the importance of community involvement and realizing the unique and influential position that student-athletes have as positive role models.
"I think it's very important for student-athletes to volunteer in the community," Jobe said. "First, it is a way to give back to the local community for all of their support and contributions. Second, we get to act as role models to children and community members. Young children truly look up to us. It is important to emphasize to them the importance of academics and staying physically active. We can make a difference in their lives."
"We work hard to encourage a culture of giving back among our student-athletes," Lightner said. "We are blessed to attend such a great university, and it is part of our duty to give back to the community."

Breast Cancer in the News
07/27/2015 - Access to care, not insurance, is a key issue, researcher says
07/24/2015 - Study found benefit from drugs known as aromatase inhibitors and bisphosphonates
07/22/2015 - Studies found it lowered chances of recurrence, but did not boost overall survival
07/15/2015 - And that could increase risk of cancer recurrence, as well as heart disease and diabetes, researchers say
07/15/2015 - Variations in tissue type throughout the breast account for difference, study says
07/14/2015 - Effect was not seen in men, and held even after researchers factored out a lack of exercise
07/06/2015 - Study found getting what amounted to lower doses per pound of body weight meant poorer outcomes
07/06/2015 - Study found counties with higher screening, detection rates had no significant difference in deaths
07/02/2015 - But, due to aging population, actual number of cancer deaths is rising
06/17/2015 - Experts often recommend this breast-conserving surgery, but many with early disease still choose mastectomy
06/16/2015 - Higher exposure to DDT in the womb linked to four times the risk of disease
06/12/2015 - But whether lack of sleep -- or the causes of sleeplessness -- to blame is unclear, experts say
06/11/2015 - Researchers report the increased risk was as high as 58 percent

Hamper paid for and never delivered. Their customer service lied about a refund. I have contacted them five times and they firstly lied about a delivery date, then lie about a refund.
Do not waste your money. I have reported them to BBC Watchdog & am contacting trading standards.

Love their pizza. Crust is very crispy and beer-like. Toppings are first rate. Don't take American Express--a real pain. They also have a lot of "rule" about not being able to get refills with certain size cups, and staff is not terribly friendly.
This pizza filled my and my family's belly, that's the extent of my excitement and pleasure having had one of their pizza's. Sunriver is lacking restaurant competition and you taste it.
This is the second time we have had blondies pizza and salad delivered. Both times pizza is amazing and both times salad came in a plastic bag with brown lettuce in it.
We had great service at this pizza place. The pizza was good and fresh, but I was particularly struck by how friendly and efficient and service oriented people working there were.
service was very good. The girls working were friendly. Not much of an atmosphere but the pizza is amazing!
Our favorite pizza anywhere. Crisp fresh crust, top quality ingredients, quick and friendly service. Perfect!
Had pizza, salad and cheesebread delivered on a cold January night while staying at the resort in town. Excellent. Quick service, and sometimes when you're not feeling like packing up the family and driving to a place, it's nice to just order from the comfort of your home (or suite in our case) and sit by the fire and have...
We stayed in a vacation rental for a business meeting and had Blondie's deliver several pizzas, garlic bread and a salad. The food arrived hot, fresh and was very tasty.
The menu offered a good variety of pizzas. There were plenty of pizzas with meat as well as vegetarian options.
We got into Sunriver late and it was great to find Blondie's still open and able to deliver to our home after 9pm! It was above average pizza, good crust, great toppings, but a wee bit light on the sauce for my taste. Overall it was a great experience!
Great little pizza place, love the crust & fresh ingredients. Small, quaint dining atmosphere, but a great place to swing in & grab a bite to eat!

What Baxalta has to weigh in Shire's $30 billion offer
Just a month old, Baxalta is facing a major decision: accept Irish drugmaker Shire $30 billion offer or plow ahead on its own. The rewards--and risk--could be great.

For best results, please place quotation marks around terms with more than one word, e.g. "Rahm Emanuel"
Just a month old, Baxalta is facing a major decision: accept Irish drugmaker Shire $30 billion offer or plow ahead on its own. The rewards--and risk--could be great.
The mayor's much-touted initiative to save health care money by urging healthier habits for workers has no formal way to measure success, Inspector General Ferguson says. And the city's tab keeps rising.
Irish drug company Shire wants to buy the firm in an all-stock deal but says "Baxalta has declined to engage in substantive discussions."
After initially sitting on the details, city officials disclose a purchase price in cash and in-kind services that an outside real estate expert calls "a very good deal" for Chicago.

If you're in the market for an affordable TV to handle the basics (sports, cable, previous-generation console gaming), the LG 29LB4510 (MSRP $259.99) might be worth a look. If you're searching for competitive picture quality, you'd better search elsewhere.
It's not that the LB4510 is spectacularly bad. In fact, given the price and the specs, this is a fairly average television. And that's just it: From the screen size, to the resolution, to the irritating software menu, don't expect for this LG to perform beyond its lowly class—or even beyond its competition.
Aesthetically speaking, the LG 29LB4510 is about as standard as televisions come. The most interesting aspect of this display's ensemble is the crosshatch texture on the back of its panel, which surrounds a single HDMI port, AV and component ports, a USB port, and a VGA dock. The USB and VGA options are always appreciated, but more than one HDMI port would have gone a long way for a TV of this caliber.
At first glance, this LG's remote control looks like a standard, run-of-the-mill clicker, but pick it up and cycle through some of the customization options. Its flaws quickly become apparent.
There's a button for Picture that opens a different menu than the one you'll find under Settings. There are separate buttons for both "audio" and "sound," and separate buttons for "menu" and "settings," too. The result is obnoxious: There are two different menus for customizing audio options and three different ways to access them.
The remote is only half the problem, though. The LB4510's menu software is a maze, making customization much tougher than it ought to be. Calibrating this TV is like navigating a proverbial minefield of dead ends and redundant options.
The first thing I noticed when watching a Blu-ray on the LG 29LB4510 was how poorly it communicated various shades of gray. Shadows, architecture, and dimly lit nighttime scenes suffer the most, as objects shrouded in darkness bleed into the colors around them. Settings that ought to look deep and dynamic instead appear rather flat.
That's a shame, too, because this TV's black level is great for an entry-level model. If this panel didn't struggle so much in its delivery of darker grays, its picture would look much more convincing.
The motion performance was adequate, at least. Surprisingly, there was very little choppiness during camera pans and tracking shots, which means the 29LB4510 is a decent television for watching sports. Basic cable or console gaming could be a viable option as well, provided you're still using a last-generation console like an Xbox 360 or a PlayStation 3.
Overall, these are not the makings of a stellar television, but given the price and the hardware, this shouldn't come as a surprise. At the end of the day, the biggest problem with this little TV is that it can't keep up with its competitors, like this Samsung H4000.
The LG 29LB4510 is a modest TV with a modest price tag. If your expectations are equally modest, it might be a decent fit. Ostensibly, it would be right at home in a dorm room, a kitchen, or a guest room.
As for its picture quality, this little panel can't handle Blu-rays particularly well, but casual daytime viewing will look good enough for most. If you care much about movie night, you may as well avoid this TV's nightmarish menu set, cough up a few more dollars, and buy a (much) better television.

Could Apple be cooking up a tablet Mac with multi-touch functionality? That's what the folks at MacDailyNews have gathered from an informer who revealed details about the purported system.
MacDailyNews' source claims the "MacBook touch" will feature a 13.3" (or "possibly a bit smaller") display with an iPhone-style glass cover. The machine will run a full version of Mac OS X, but it will supposedly have access to the iPhone/iPod touch App Store, too. Other features will include an accelerometer, GPS, slot-loading DVD drive, and perhaps haptic touch-screen feedback. The source goes on to claim Apple will sell the system at a "low" price with tight margins in order to encourage uptake.
If this anonymous informant has his facts straight, we'll be seeing the system emerge "by October at the latest." And MacDailyNews suggests the source could indeed be right—the same person allegedly broke the news about the wireless iTunes Store a week before Apple's official announcement. Perhaps this device is the "new, unnamed product" with "features that others can't match" that Apple referred to earlier this week. (Thanks to Engadget for the tip.)
