At the beginning of each football season, NFL teams have initial player grades based on their scouts evaluating big college programs over the summer and the National or BLESTO evaluations. Now that we are well into the 2011 college season with scouts roaming the country, those grades are starting to change.
Here is a breakdown of players whose performance has helped their draft stock and two who haven't played as well as expected.
Draft risers
Ryan Tannehill (6-2, 222), senior, QB, Texas A&M
Tannehill's NFL potential finally took off after winning the starting job during the 2010 season. So far this year, he hasn't disappointed.
Tannehill has displayed much better pocket sense. Combined with his foot quickness and athleticism, he moves efficiently to avoid pressure and can re-set, either in the pocket or outside, with accurate throws. He does an excellent job of reading defenses. When he finds open receivers, Tannehill gets rid of the ball quickly and is usually on target. He is more poised than before, and doesn't panic as plays breakdown. Also, he doesn't throw the ball up for grabs to avoid sacks.
Tannehill has good arm strength and does a good job of throwing the ball where only the receiver can make a play. For a player who was viewed as a likely fourth-round pick entering the 2011 season, we have heard scouts talk about him being a high second-round pick now. PROJECTED: Second round.
Chase Minnifield (6-foot, 188), senior, CB, Virginia
Minnifield, the son of former Cleveland Browns cornerback Frank Minnifield, has played so well in his two years as a starter that many believe he can become a better NFL player than his father. Chase Minnifield has the height NFL teams love. He also has long arms and natural ball skills, consistently breaking up or intercepting passes.
In today's NFL, many cornerbacks have the skills to play either as an outside cover or as a slot corner. That is where Chase helps himself greatly with better foot quickness and agility than most corners his size. Minnifield seems at ease playing off the ball in zone coverage. He has a good feel for spacing and is able to read and react quickly to passes.
While Minnifield will likely be passed by cornerbacks who run blazing 40 times, he is a better player than most of them. PROJECTED: Second round.
Draft fallers
Cam Johnson (6-3, 270), senior, DE Virginia
Johnson is a strong and physical defender but has yet to realize his potential this season. One big issue is he lacks the bulk and playing strength to be a defensive end in a 3-4 scheme. Johnson also lacks the explosiveness and pass-rush skills to be effective as an end in a 4-3 scheme. He's not comfortable or smooth playing upright and off the ball as an outside linebacker.
Johnson is viewed primarily as a "tweener," which doesn't help his draft prospects. Johnson's strengths include an ability to make plays against the run. He also plays with good technique and effectively carries out his contain responsibility. He also plays with excellent competitiveness on every snap, which gives him a chance to stick in the NFL as a backup. PROJECTED: Later rounds.
Blake Gideon (6-foot, 210), senior, S, Texas
Gideon has been hyped as one of the elite safeties in the country and a likely first-round pick, but the reality is far from that. While he's a smart, instinctive defender who reads and reacts quickly to plays in front of him, he does not make enough plays that will be required at the next level.
Specifically, Gideon doesn't stay under control to make tackles. Often he launches himself to make the blow-up hit and ends up missing. Gideon is tight in the hips and struggles to change directions in deep coverage. He lacks the explosive burst and top-end speed to get back into good coverage position.
One important thing to remember is that defensive players who are instinctive, competitive and have enough athleticism are often able to stick as backups on special teams. Gideon will be a good special teams coverage player, especially a gunner, which will help him carve out a career as a backup safety and special teams player. PROJECTED: Later rounds.

The ultimate in sweet decadence takes form in Matt Tebbutt's rich cream fudge, which is drizzled with chocolate Get tips on how to make perfect fudge here.
Method1. For the fudge: grease a 20cm/8in square tin and set aside.
2. Place all of the fudge ingredients in a large heavy-based saucepan and heat gently, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil, cover and boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to boil until the mixture reaches 115C on a sugar thermometer.
3. Carefully pour the hot fudge mixture into a heatproof mixing bowl and leave until cooled slightly. Whisk the mixture until the sugar crystallises – it should start to appear a little grainy in texture and turn from glossy to matte.
4. Scrape the fudge mixture into the prepared tin. Set aside for 30 minutes, or until the fudge has set slightly.
5. For the chocolate drizzle: gently heat the chocolate, cream and milk in a small heavy-based pan, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Drizzle over the fudge. Mark the fudge with the tip of a knife to form squares, then leave to set completely before eating.

Conservatives Without Conscience ... John Dean's new book, and will hit the bookstores on tuesday. Sounds like this will be the most complete accounting of the Neo-conservative attack on America to date, and will include some insight into the mentality of the die hard Bush supporters, and the manipulations used to exploit their fear, their hatred of liberals. and their religious leanings to the detriment of our country. If you can't understand how there is anyone left in America who is still supporting George Bush, and why they refuse to see through his manipulations, incompetence and deciet, this book will give you the historical lead up to how the neocons plotted their course, and managed to keep their followers confused and saluting the furor.

There's something about hardcover releases of comics. Trade paperbacks are nice but hardcovers have a classier feel to them. And now THE SHADOW is getting a touch of class to go along with the action and violence.
Previously only available as a trade paperback, Dynamite Entertainment has announced that you will be able to get THE SHADOW Vol. 1: SHADOW OF CREATION as a hardcover signed by series writer Garth Ennis and cover artist Alex Ross.
Collecting the first six issues, the series contains art by Aaron Campbell and features Garth Ennis' script to issue #1 as well as a complete cover gallery featuring art by Alex Ross, Howard Chaykin, Jae Lee, John Cassaday, Ryan Sook and more. Reproductions of the hand-drawn sketch covers by Lee and Ross will also be included.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows! In the storyline 'The Fire Of Creation', it's 1938 and The Shadow returns in a tale of blazing action and deadly intrigue, as a night of carnage on the New York waterfront plunges the mysterious vigilante into a conspiracy involving the fate of the world itself. As storm clouds gather across the globe, American Military Intelligence meets with a certain Lamont Cranston, determined to beat a host of spies and assassins to the greatest prize of all... but what that might be, only the Shadow knows.
The limited edition hardcover will be limited toonly 500 signed copies in the world! It will be available in stores this coming December. Contact your local retailer for more information.

You probably don't need us to tell you that Australia is a big, beautiful country. We're pretty spoilt when it comes to awe-inspiring landscapes and incredible creatures. That's why we're spread far and wide so we can give these ecosystems the protection they deserve. Here's a summary of our state based campaign centres:
The Wilderness Society New South Wales started as one of the many environmental action groups which sprang up around the country in the early 1980's in response to the proposed dam on the Franklin River, Tasmania. While other regional action groups closed down after this iconic campaign, Newcastle forged ahead, campaigning for the protection of important wilderness areas locally and nationally. Today we're leading the fight against coal seam gas exploration in the Pilliga, with a whole community of concerned locals behind us.

South Australia
South Australia contains some of the most pristine land and sea wilderness left anywhere on Earth. You can see a million birds fishing in the middle of the desert when Lake Eyre floods. You can watch dozens of whales, swimming with their calves beneath massive limestone cliffs as you stand on the edge of the Nullarbor and the Great Australian Bight. SA is the gateway to the outback. Wherever you look, South Australia's nature is as abundant as it is ecologically important, and we're working hard there to protect it as best we can.

We're in the middle of a long campaign for native forest protection in Victoria, but with the enthusiasm and generosity of our volunteers we're starting to make real ground. The nexus between successive state governments and the forestry industry against phasing out logging in high-value conservation areas has directly impacted on the survival prospects of the Leadbeater's possum, Victoria's faunal emblem, which faces extinction if state-sponsored logging continues in its habitat. With your help though, we will turn the tide.

I had a really hard time deciding what I wanted to do for birthday. All I could think of at first was ice cream. (And of course family and friends). Eventually I figured out a few things that I would enjoy…
The Friday night before the big day we went out with some friends for Chipotle and then came home to some homemade ice cream… mmmmm. It was a delicious time. I am so blessed with the most amazing friends, and the ice cream came out amazing.
Saturday we had a barbeque at David's parents' house– not to celebrate my birthday but rather because his sister and her husband were visiting (!) — which only added to the specialness of my weekend.
Sunday was Valentine's Day (I already posted about the great day that was but here's a few more details) which I always think of as a sort of birthday-eve. I love the holiday, all the red and pink, chocolate, and little gifts.
David bought me a really cool hand-silk-screened shirt off etsy with the greek letters spelling out "agape" on it. I love it (and I'm wearing it today, now that our weather cooled off).
I made him a Dodgers beach blanket out of a yard of fleece and a blue towel I found at Ross.
I had lots of little ideas of valentine's gifts for Gigi but eventually forgot. oops. Oh well, our little sweetheart was totally content with a Mickey Mouse valentine leftover from when I used to work at an elementary school and an envelope full of stickers. Seriously, she was stoked.
Then came The Fabulous Monday where I turned 29.
First David made me pancakes. Yum.
Then our family (my parents, my brother and sis-in-law, David's mom, sis-in-law and bro-in-law) met us at our place and we all drove down to Coronado with our bikes in tow.
It was the.most.beautiful.weather.EVER. that someone who LOVES summer could hope for on her February birthday (well, aside from sitting on the Chilean beach in actual summer which I got to do in '02).
We rode bikes. Took pictures. Had an awesome lunch at a very cool spot. Rode some more. Ate some delicious ice cream. Rode back to our parking spot by the park and let Gigi play on the playground. Drove home. Played Wii. Took Gigi to my parents' to spend the night. Had Rubio's with the 'rents and A&A. Went to the movies and saw "Valentine's Day" (funny!). Went home. Slept in a teensy bit the next day and actually accomplished a few things before picking Gigi up.
Thanks to all who wished me a happy day. A happy day (or several days) it was indeed.
You can see all the photos here.

August 4, 2015
Residents at an apartment block in east London say they've been warned surface-to-air missiles could be stationed on their rooftops during the Olympics.
The Ministry of Defense said Sunday it had contacted around 700 people living at the building in Bow - about 2 miles (3.2km) from London's Olympic Stadium - about the plan.
In a leaflet sent to residents, the ministry says it could place high velocity surface-to-air missiles on a water tower attached to the building's roof.
Brian Whelan, who lives at the site, said residents were wary over the plan.
Up to 13,500 British troops are being deployed on land, at sea and in the air to help protect the Olympics.
The defense ministry said the missiles would form part of air defenses alongside fast jets and helicopters.

New neighbors
On a recent afternoon, visual artist Rachel Campbell was working on a commission of Chapel Hill paintings in her studio. In another section of Mercury Studio's new location, Janice Smith was working on her education resources website. Nearby, part of a sculpture sat on a table.
All of this activity was happening at the new space for Mercury Studio, which moved from its location on Mangum Street in January. Mercury Studio is now at 401 W. Geer St., part of the building that also houses Motorco Music Hall. Mercury is a new neighbor to the district that some are calling "No Co" (or north of Corporation Street), an area that also includes Cocoa Cinnamon, Fullsteam Brewery, CrossFit Durham and other businesses in the Geer Street, Foster Street and Rigsbee Avenue area.
Mercury is the creation of entrepreneur and musician Katie DeConto and visual artist Megan Jones, who opened the business in May 2012 as a coworking space. They saw the need for "a positive, creative environment in which individuals and small businesses can work, collaborate and thrive," according to Mercury's website.
The word "creative" encompasses a wide range of jobs. "We don't really have a majority as far as what people do," DeConto said. Those renting space in Mercury include writers, visual artists, software developers, and an accountant who specializes in creative organizations. "Tenants" sign up for different memberships – café, studio, desk, satellite – that offer different types of access to the building.
Campbell, who was formerly at Golden Belt, is working on a group of Chapel Hill oil paintings for the 140 West Franklin development. While she liked Golden Belt, at Mercury she is closer to downtown, and she likes being around other creative people who "are not your kind of creative," she said.
Smith, a former teacher and dean of instruction at a charter school, runs the organization Mission 100%. The organization's goal is to go into schools that are successful, record their teaching styles, and then make that information available to teachers and leaders in education. Smith first came to Mercury as a video producer before starting Mission 100%. Mercury gives her a more professional work place: "It's hard to take yourself seriously at home," she said. She also likes being around other people.
The owners of the Mangum space had informed Mercury's owners that they had other plans for the space, DeConto said. When the Geer building came open, Mercury decided to refurbish it -- not an easy task, DeConto said. They had to install the heating and air-conditioning system, seal the floors, clean the building and paint the walls. Three garage doors were taken out and replaced with glass fronts. The concrete floor in one room, used for car repairs, had to be re-poured because of a drain. "It's a huge space. It's about twice as big as our old space," DeConto said.
Robert Chapman, managing director of Traditional Neighborhood Development Partners, previously rented the space from owner Alex Washburn, a New York architect. Chapman was looking for "the perfect tenant who would contribute a lot to the neighborhood," he said. He visited Mercury Studio in its Mangum location and decided the business would be a good fit for the neighborhood.
Chapman then gave the lease back to Washburn, who also helped Mercury with financing for the refurbishing. While the area around Motorco is busy at night, "the idea was to have more daytime vitality in the neighborhood," and he found Mercury to be the best fit, he said.
Mercury now has art studios, a working area with desks and tables, and a "backroom" with a sofa and chairs (where listening sessions and other gatherings are held). Mercury also has a retail store, The Makery, now called The Makery at Mercury Studio. Krista Nordgren started the store, which sells goods made in North Carolina -- everything from clothes, leather goods, jewelry, and more. The retail space also can be used for live events -- a music event recently was held there.
That flexibility is part of Mercury's mission. "We basically are trying to provide work space for a diverse group of people," whether that person wants to work on art or sell or do something else, DeConto said. "Our part in that is making sure we have space that is useful for people."
The businesses nearby have all been very welcoming, and the Rigsbee area has "much more of a neighborhood feel than where we were before," she said. "This area still feels pretty unique to Durham, so we're happy to be a part of it."

Savage Race is the most badass mud and obstacle race event yet. Our unique courses feature big, rugged obstacles spread out over 4 - 6 treacherous miles. This is one tough race, and we guarantee that it will completely kick your ass. We warn you that this race is not for everyone, and it's definitely not your average family fun run or 'mud race'. If you're afraid of extreme obstacles, fire, mud, and bruises, DO NOT sign up for Savage Race. But if you're tough, you need to prove it. Are you a Savage? Prove it at Savage Race.
We lovingly call our participants Savages because we believe you have to find your inner barbarian to power through our intense 4-6 mile races. Some of our most intense obstacles have include the Shriveled Richard ice bath, the incredibly steep Sawtooth Bars, a leap over rows of fire and of course crawling through thick mud under barbed wire. Savage Race prides itself on having the biggest obstacles and featuring the most per mile; a true Savage Challenge. We also scout for the gnarliest terrain available in your area to offer participants the added challenge of treacherous terrain.
At Savage Race we believe that we deserve to play just as hard as we work, and our Savages certainly deserve it after completing one of our races. That's why at the end of each event we reward participants with frosty beer, delicious barbeque and awesome music at what we like to call the "Outrageous Savage After Party."
Our mission at Savage Race is to provide endurance enthusiasts with something even bigger than the race itself. We want participants to push themselves until they think they can run no further, climb no higher and go no faster. Being a Savage means pushing yourself to the ultimate limit, and the high you will feel after completing one of our events is something that you will never forget.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency should reduce its rebuilding grants to Tulane University by $24.5 million to reflect private insurance payments made to the college after Hurricane Katrina, according to a federal inspector general's report. The inspector general for FEMA's parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, said the federal government has already reduced Tulane's disaster allocation from $291.9 million to $166 million to reflect previous insurance payments.
"Since then, FEMA has determined that at least another $24.5 million of insurance proceeds retained by Tulane covered FEMA-eligible expenses," the inspector general's report said. "Therefore, FEMA should apply the additional $24.5 million of insurance proceeds to Tulane's projects."
Tulane doesn't agree with the finding.
"The OIG's April 19, 2012, memorandum does not provide an explanation of its analysis or the basis for the recommendations to FEMA and Tulane University has not received such detail," the university said in a statement Wednesday. "Therefore, Tulane cannot specifically respond to the proposed $24.5 million re-allocation of insurance proceeds. Tulane has been diligently working with FEMA and OIG on these issues and will continue to do so. No final allocation decision has been made by FEMA, and Tulane anticipates it will be able to resolve any issues relating to insurance allocation with FEMA."

SW Florida's own swamp diner: Enjoy gators at Joanie's Blue Crab Cafe
OCHOPEE - Want to get away from it all or leave the usual Naples eating spots behind and go someplace where you can just plain relax?
Then gas up the car and head east on U.S. 41. Go past Ten Thousand Islands, past the Fakahatchee Strand swamp forest and past Big Cypress Reserve out to Ochopee, right past the smallest post office you've ever seen.
And if you didn't stop to gawk at the occasional gator catching some sun on the road's edge, pull over when you see the huge "cold beer" sign plastered across the front of the swamp oasis known as Joanie's Blue Crab Cafe.
Don't be in a hurry. As you enter, a chalkboard cautions, "If you want fast food, travel 42 miles west or 66 east. Happy trails, ya'll. Watch the gators."
Leave your heels home and anything you don't would mind getting dampened with a little perspiration, because the cafe that can be lovingly considered a true swamp diner has no air conditioning.
However, the lazy breeze of ceiling fans and a trio of oversized coolers filled with ice and cold brews are ready to cool off the weary traveler.
The kitschy, campy cafe, owned and operated by Joan Marie Griffin, affectionately known as "Joanie," is housed in a building that dates back to the 1920s and has room for 124 people to nosh, mingle and marvel.
Memorabilia, bottles, colored twinkling lights, postcards from international visitors as well as original paintings of Everglades scenes — courtesy of Griffin's sister, Jeannie Ortega — are displayed on walls or hung from wooden rafters, making the dining spot one of a kind.
Pick a seat indoors or on one of two airy porches, one of which is screened and has a bar and the other a small raised deck with a few tables and a view of the canal. Or seat yourself at a table under well-worn umbrellas in front of the cafe.
Joanie's Blue Crab Cafe
Where: 39395 U.S. 41 E., Ochopee (40 miles east of Marco Island)
When: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (or until the last nugget is consumed); closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays starting June 1
Prices: Sandwiches ($8.95-$15.95), soups ($5.95-$7.95), salads ($6.95-$16.95); specialties ($4.95-$19.95)
Information: 239-695-2682; JoaniesBlueCrabCafe.com
Oh, and about those icy brews? Patrons can help themselves and take their pick of domestic, imported or Florida craft beers ($3.50-$4.50), but hang on to the bottle cap so the server can tally the tab.
"After hiking, boating or walking through the swampland, there's nothing better than a cold beer," Griffin said."We are just too busy to serve beer and wine, and we work on an honor system that's always worked out fine."
Pair those brews with house specialties ($4.95$19.95) such as hush puppies and fried green tomatoes or grilled corn, all great starters. Then, move on to what you just can't find in town — frog legs and gator nuggets that are "the real deal," said Griffin, to the full-out swamp combo with gator, frog legs, crab cake and fry bread ($16.95).
Griffin describes her gator as "the best premium, fresh-caught meat" purchased from a local gator farm and not that supplied by giant restaurant food suppliers. She also serves up a dish usually not found anywhere — gator ribs.
Sandwiches ($8.95$15.95) include soft-shell crab, catfish, grouper and crab cakes made from Joanie's own recipe that she said are all crab — no fillers, no onions, just fresh crab. They share menu space with an all-beef "swampy dog" and a pulled-pork sandwich made from pork butts, baked by Griffin.
"I have annual customers from Maryland, and they know their crab cakes, but they go crazy over the ones I make. It is sometimes hard to get, but I just bought 247 pounds of crab," Griffin said.
A fresh herb garden in front of the store affords just the right selection of aromatic plants to kick up her soups and salads. Choices such as vegan chili and the popular black bean or lima bean soups ($5.95-$7.95) make for lighter fare paired with salads ($6.95-$16.95) such grouper, catfish, Cajun chicken or gator.
For dessert, try the peanut butter or key lime pie or the exotic guava cream cheesecake ($4.95-$5.95).
Originally from Hialeah, Griffin and her family vacationed in Everglades City and loved the flora and fauna so much they decided to move there in 1979.
After purchasing two franchises that did not work out, they bought the gas station and former tomato company store in 1987 and opened a shop selling jewelry, clothing, and other items.
However, Griffin said that after a while, she saw people really only wanted one thing — something good to eat.
"I knew I needed to do more, but the only thing I ever knew to do was to cook and take care of my family, so to move into the restaurant business was natural and easy for me," she said. "I started with four tables and a menu of a few sandwiches, chili and a lima bean stew."
Griffin's husband, who ran the gas station, suffered a fatal heart attack in1990. Since then, Griffin has been running the cafe with the help of her chef, Jack Bozzo, and his wife, Louise, who runs the front of the house and keeps the books.
Over the years, the menu has expanded as has table space to what the cafe is today. It is a spot not to be missed by visitors and locals who occasionally are treated to the sight of the house gators creeping onto the grassy canal behind the cafe, most likely to "people watch."
Griffin plans to open a museum in the former gas station to educate the public about Everglades lore and the wonders of the wildly natural habitat at our doorstep — and she said she may even feature a live gator show.
Not that it will ever outshine the food.

From the moment we arrived at Aarpan we were promptly greeted and seated. My wife and I shared a Pani Poori. It was the first time we tried this Chickpea puff appetizer, and we were glad we did. The waiter was very gracious to explain to us the right way to enjoy these. They have holes on the top where you put in some mint sauce and tamarind sauce, then add the tamarind water inside. You eat the puff in one bite, and we were delighted with the tangy spices that awakened our palates. My wife had the Bareen Baingan and I had the Chennai Chicken Curry. Both were tender, delicious, and we had ordered them spicy, and they served them just as we had ordered them. We were craving Indian food and we were both very happy to satisfy our craving. Would definitely recommend to friends and we'll definitely be back. Thanks for a great experience!
Posted by anonymous on 11/01/2013
My food order took well over an hour and a half to arrive. It was reasonably tasty enough, but this was an obscene amount of time to wait for delivery. Do yourself a favor - if you want the food, walk down there yourself and get it because it will be a lot quicker. Or save yourself the effort and just order from another place.
Posted by Chris on 05/14/2013
Ordered Take out at 9pm Tuesday night.Delivery Special with Lamb Rogan Josh and a Diet Coke. 1. Guy on phone was unintelligible. 2. Roti was day-old and crusty. 3. Papadam was omitted but was supposed to be included. 4. Lamb container had at least 1/2 cup of oil floating on top of the rogan josh (curry)… almost as much oil as everything else. 5. Flavor of lamb was dull and sauce had no notes of anything. Samosa was uninspired. 5. No condiments were included whatsoever. other Indian places send you too much - this one sends none! 6. Delivery guy called my phone from outside my apartment rather than ringing buzzer. Totaled $20 including tip and definitely not worth it.
Posted by Bill on 03/02/2013
Like a lot of people who've already commented, I've lived in Park Slope for over a decade and have been waiting for something like Aarpan to arrive. Fantastic food. Yeah, it's a little pricey, but aren't most places on 5th avenue? I'm happy to pay a little extra for the vivid flavors and fresh ingredients that they brought to my door. Way better than the other Indian places in the neighborhood.
Posted by Abby on 01/23/2013
My husband and I ate here tonight and I am soexcited to finally have quality, fresh Indian cuisine in the neighborhood! I grew up eating (Northern) Indian food and am very picky. The chicken was fresh and tender, the malai kofta was freshly made and perfectly spiced, and the naan and basmati were great too. I would have like a little thinner onion kulcha with more onions and maybe some lemon added to the onions for tartness but other than that it was freshly baked and great. The sauces in the dishes were very flavorful and great consistency. We have found that other Indian restaurants in the area water their sauces down and also do not use fresh produce. The portions are a little bit smaller but the difference in quality is so immense that it didnt matter to us one bit. We will definitely be coming back!
Posted by Julia Farr on 07/23/2012
Friendly, helpful, generous service, well-priced lunch special, nicely presented delicious, fresh food! and BYOB! Plus, they have nice garden seating. They played catchy Indian music that added to the experience.
Posted by anonymous on 07/21/2012
... but my order was delivered without the rice or papadams, both of which were supposed to be part of the delivery special. So I essentially paid more money for less than if I had ordered a la carte. Good enough that I'll go to the restaurant to eat, but probably won't get delivery again. Shame.

Many ask "what can I do with an art degree?". You love to draw, paint, and sculpt, but you're not sure how to translate your passion into a career. Pursuing a career as a full-time artist, designer or scholar is possible, if you have the tenacity.
About 62% of artists are self-employed. Many, however, find work with museums, galleries, schools, advertising agencies, magazines, newspapers, and movie studios. Employment of artists and related workers is expected to grow faster than average: 16% through 2016, according to the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Being an original and creative thinker and problem-solver is valuable in almost any field. At Framingham State University we challenge our students to think along the periphery, to arrive at unique solutions to complex problems. These abilities ensure success in any number of fields after graduation.
The list below corresponds to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook and details many different career paths for art majors.

COLUMBIA CITY — Whitley County made changes to its sewer regulations to keep up with state law and health department officials briefed the county's commissioners on the changes this week.
Scott Wagner with the Whitley County Health Department presented an update on the changes last week at the regular meeting of the Whitley County Board of Commissioners.
"This state law regarding residential septic systems was changed and became effective on January first of this year," Wagner said.
"Because the state law changed, I needed to update the county ordinance to reflect this change."
COLUMBIA CITY — Emotions ran high from everyone involved prior to the expected century-long sentencing of an 18-year-old who admitted to killing a 14-year-old Whitley County girl in March of 2010.
"I still don't know how this could happen in our community," said Whitley Circuit Court Judge James Heuer after hearing testimony from both the prosecution and the defense in the sentencing hearing of Joshua M. Wright.
Wright pleaded guilty but mentally ill in court last month and agreed to a combined sentence for four crimes of 100 years.
Mary Jane McLaughlin, 94, formerly of Union Township, died Saturday, March 26, 2011 in Kalamazoo, Mich.
She was born Sept. 7, 1916 in Fayette Township, Hillsdale County, Mich., a daughter of James Harvey and Mayme (Bird) Price. Her formative years were spent in the Jonesville area. She graduated from Jonesville High School.
Bradley Joseph Haugen, 36, of Fort Wayne, died at 4:03 a.m. Saturday, March 26, 2011 at Parkview North Hospital.
He was born Feb. 4, 1975 in Greenfield, a son of James Allen and Darleen K. (Nahrwold) Haugen. From 1975 until 1981 he resided in New Haven and from 1981 until 1991 he resided in Portland, Ore.
In 1991 he moved to Columbia City until moving to the Bethesda Lutheran Ministry Home in Fort Wayne a year ago. He graduated from Huntington North High School.
He had been employed at Passages and later Anthony Wayne Services in Fort Wayne.
Rex E. Grable, 82, of rural Columbia City, died at 2:10 p.m. Saturday, March 26, 2011 at his home.
He was born Jan. 23, 1929 in Churubusco, a son of Clarence T. and Bertha O. (Meyers) Grable. At the age of four, his family moved to Columbia City. He graduated from Columbia City High School in 1947.
On Aug. 3, 1947 he was united in marriage to Eleanor J. Tanner. They made their home in Columbia City until 1988 when they moved to Troy Cedar Lake. Since October 2010 they have made their home east of Columbia City.
Katharine A. "Kay" Lembright, R.N., 92, of Columbia City, died Saturday, March 26, 2011 at The Oaks Nursing facility, where she had been a resident for two weeks. She was born Aug. 10, 1918 to Arthur and Eva Marie (Koons) Lembright, Sr., in Alliance, Stark Co., Ohio.
It's been three seasons since Churubusco baseball hoisted a trophy.
Known for their dominance in the postseason, the Eagles enter the 2011 season with a chance to restore the black and gold image once feared by many in the class 2A sectional.
A bit of that fear remains with a class of eight seniors back from the title days.
Much of the Eagles power both with the bat and the ball come in the senior class. Along with it comes confidence from the Eagles.
Wesley L. Smith, 25, a Columbia City native, died Thursday, March 24, 2011.
He was born Nov. 27, 1985 in Fort Wayne, a son of Duane A. and Diana E. (Clark) Smith. His formative years were spent in rural Columbia City. He graduated from Columbia City High School in 2004.
He joined the United States Army where he served in Iraq, Indianapolis and most recently El Paso, Texas.
On Feb. 26, 2010 he was united in marriage to Caroline M. Cripe.
In January, he began his employment at Micropulse.
Geraldine "Jeri" Robinette, 87, of Columbia City, died early Wednesday morning, March 23, 2011 in Naples, Fla.
She was born June 24, 1923 in Wabash County, a daughter of George W. and Marie (Grimm) Garrison. At the age of six, her family moved to Huntington County. She graduated from Bippus High School. In 1942 she moved to Fort Wayne.
On June 22, 1946 she was united in marriage to Joe A. Auker. They made their home in South Whitley. Dr. Auker died Feb. 1, 1979.
She assisted her husband in the operations of J.A. Auker Veterinary Hospital for nearly 30 years.
CHURUBUSCO — Losing a child has been described as the worst kind of loss anyone could possibly go though, a searing and unspeakable pain.
For two Churubusco-area families, July 16, 2009 will be a day never forgotten. It was that day that Andrew C. ("Andy") Spencer, 17, and Megan Christine Young, 16, died from results of a one-vehicle accident in rural Whitley County. The young couple had just eaten lunch and were heading to Megan's house for a swim before her volleyball practice.
Unfortunately, the day's scheduled events were never completed.
