ArtWorks Launches Mural Walking Tour
As Downtown and Over-the-Rhine continue to see a growth of walking tours related to the revived inner city's heritage (especially its brewing heritage) and architecture, a new one will soon be offered dedicated to its ever-growing collection of public murals. ArtWorks, which is responsible for many of those murals (including a just-finished one at Eighth and Main streets dedicated to Cincinnati-born Pop artist Tom Wesselmann), will launch the tours in October as part of its Mural (Celebration) Month. They will continue into November, and then take a break. Beginning in 2015, they'll run April through November. Reservations will be needed for the tours, which will run 90 minutes and cost $20 for adults. Artworks also is looking for volunteers to guide those tours. If you're interested in either, visit artworkscincinnati.org where information will be available soon. Bus tours are being discussed, too, once streetcar construction is completed.

I go with my gut," says Sara Vance Waddell about her philosophical approach to collecting art. And it is clear that trusting her instinct has done her well as the marketing and advertising CEO/president of her own media business.

Your Weekend To Do List: 5/30-6/1
It's Pride Week in Cincinnati, a time to celebrate and support the local LGBTQ community, promote diversity as well as equality and just have a good time as a plethora of events takes over the city. The Pride party has been going all week and the fun continues tonight with the Skyy Vodka Pub Crawl featuring bars and clubs in Over-the-Rhine, Northside, Downtown, Newport and Covington. Shuttles run three loops with six busses stopping at 20 bars. A $10 wristband gets you on the bus all night and into any bars that have cover charges. Find details here. Cincinnati Art Museum's free Art After Dark series also takes a Pride theme this month. Stop by the museum before the crawl for performances by Young Heirlooms and the Cincinnati Men's Chorus, gallery tours, giveaways and more from 5-9 p.m. Bar crawl wristbands can be purchased at the museum or Millennium Hotel, Below Zero, Rosie's Tavern or Chameleon between 8-10 p.m. The much-anticipated annual Pride Parade steps off at 2 p.m. Saturday with a slightly different route due to streetcar construction: Seventh and Culvert streets to Vine Street to Fifth at Fountain Square, down Eggleston Avenue. The parade will end at Sawyer Point, where a family-friendly festival runs 3-9 p.m. There will be two entertainment stages (be sure to swing by the CityBeat stage!), rides and games for kids, food and drink. There will also be a public commitment/re-commitment ceremony at 6 p.m., free to all couples interested in participating. The ceremony will cap off with a couples' first dance. The festival ends with a fireworks display at 9 p.m. Find a full entertainment lineup here. And be sure to check out this week's Pride Issue. We've got interviews with local LGBTQ advocates, a calendar of events and more. The 2014 Cincinnati Fringe Festival is in full swing this weekend (continuing through June 7). We've previewed each of the 30-plus performances and will be posting reviews of every show as well — check them out here. Eccentric painter, sculptor, printmaker and collector of fancy antique oddities Hunt Slonem graces Cincinnati with his colorful, fabulous presence this week. The American artist has work showcased in more than 100 museums across the world — and now, Miller Gallery in Hyde Park. Perhaps best known for his neo-expressionist paintings of tropical birds and other animals, Slonem will be at the gallery for the opening Friday night. Meet the artist and peruse his works from 6-8 p.m.; The Exotic World of Hunt Slonem will be on display at Miller through June 29. Jane's Saddlebag in Union, Ky., is a unique attraction sprawling over 35 acres of land that features a general store, restaurant, wine shop, petting zoo, historic spaces and recreations. Located near Big Bone Lick State Park, Jane's is great for a weekend getaway close to home. Visit this weekend as they host their second annual wine festival noon-6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Sample wines from 20 local and regional wineries and shop handmade items from more than 40 craft vendors. Tickets are $12 and include four tasting tickets, a wine glass and live music. Go here for more info. For more art openings, parties, festivals and other stuff to do this weekend, check out our To Do picks, full calendar and Rick Pender's Stage Door for weekend theater offerings.

Matters of our Art: Portraits of the Artist
If you've been to the Cincinnati Art Museum recently, and specifically since March 22, you've probably found yourself lingering among portraits in a corner of the second floor. (Up the grand staircase and in Room 212, the space now designated as the museum's photography gallery.) And it might've been Jean Renoir's doing. The filmmaker's honest, sideways smirk that's good at whispering you in to laugh at life at or with him. For me, he was the one whose 77-year-old face, through the gap of a narrow doorway, led me in to look upon his ruthlessness magnified, given new life by Richard Avedon and brought to light by Brian Sholis, the museum's new curator of photography. "It wasn't until the 1970s when museums started taking photography seriously," Sholis says. "The art world stopped writing it off as so mechanical and lacking real talent, so museums like this one began acquiring a lot of it." Which explains the 4,000-field, photographical rundown Sholis was sent before moving from New York to Cincinnati to take his curatorial position in 2013. The database was a list of every museum-owned piece of photography, and while studying it, Sholis noticed a pattern: two recognizable names in one row, repeated. An artist by an artist. Portraits of the Artist. You see where this is going. "For people who don't know much about the history of photography, they're given another chance to connect here, and I wanted my first exhibition to be as welcoming as possible," Sholis says. "Here, there's twice the chance of hitting upon someone a visitor could recognize." Out of four-dozen artists-by-artists photographs, Sholis narrowed his exhibition selection to 14 of them, presenting Frida Kahlo by Bernard Silberstein, Picasso (with his son Claude) by Robert Capa and Miles Davis by Lee Friedlander, among others. The dancer in me was especially drawn to modern mover Merce Cunningham by Barbara Morgan, who took Cunningham's photo like he crafted his dances — with good faith in chance. She shot the double-exposure by retrogressing her film after an initial shot and snapping Cunningham again in another position, not realizing the two bodies as one image until they'd been developed, much like Cunningham frequently rolled a die to dictate his movements and their sequences. And while, like the individual pieces themselves, the idea of the exhibition is stimulating and timely (I don't need to tell anyone about the portrait-in-the-form-of-iPhone-selfie phenomenon), the placement of the pieces is also noteworthy, and very thoroughly Sholis-thought-through. The Mexican artist portraits are grouped together alongside a couple of painted face performers; partners in work and life, John Cage and Merce Cunningham share an intimate space on a portion of the gallery's west wall; and Miles Davis is situated alone and dominantly, glaring over onlookers while avoiding awkward eye contact with Renoir (after being moved when Sholis saw the staring contest). "These are more than just casual snapshots even though they look that way," Sholis says. "These are kind of dialogues between the artists themselves and their creators, the photographers." And, of course, you.

A diminutive white-bearded man, Avtar Gill stood out in any crowd despite his humble stature. Always wearing his oversized, hand-drawn, (typically) all caps messages which he affixed to a baseball cap with usually no more than a few strategically placed rubber bands, he documented everyday history in mundane yet sometimes profound ways.

NORMAL, Ill. — Missouri State's Katie Palmer scored the go-ahead basket with 58.7 seconds to play and Tyonna Snow added four points in the final minute Monday night as the Lady Bears (8-10, 3-4 Missouri Valley Conference) grabbed a 75-72 win over Illinois State (4-13, 3-4) inside Redbird Arena.
After the Redbirds had overcome a 48-36 second-half deficit to lead 70-69, Palmer swung the lead back in MSU's favor with a layup just after the clock got under a minute. Tyonna Snow then nabbed a steal and turned it into two free throws with 47.3 seconds left for a 73-70 advantage and hit a driving jumper with 11.2 ticks remaining to secure the win. Illinois State's heave at the buzzer missed the iron.
A close first half saw seven lead changes in the first nine minutes before Kenzie Williams hit two free throws and Bry Snow converted a 3-point play with 6:42 remaining for a 24-19 MSU lead, the largest for either team to that point.
Palmer hit back-to-back jumpers to make it 30-23 Missouri State with 3:54 to play, and Tyonna Snow's jumper with 35 seconds left regained that seven-point advantage after the Redbirds closed to 30-28.
Missouri State shot 56 percent in the period and both teams committed 13 turnovers, though ISU held an 18-6 margin in points off those miscues.
The Redbirds made it a one-possession game twice in the first two minutes of the second half before the Lady Bears rattled off a 9-0 run that included two layups from Tyonna Snow and a long 3-pointer from Hannah Wilkerson to lead 48-36 with 15:35 left in the game.
It took the Lady Bears exactly five minutes to score again after that as ISU pulled within four points before Tyonna Snow's driving layup made it 50-44 with 10:35 remaining.
MSU held its lead between four and nine points until 4:45 remained when Illinois State's Chloe Nelson poured in nine points over the next 91 seconds to hand the Redbirds a 68-67 lead with 3:14 on the clock.
Nelson added two more free throws with 2:46 to go to cap ISU's 9-0 run with a 70-67 score before Palmer's two free throws made it 70-69 with 1:39 to play.
Tyonna Snow led the MSU scoring with 14 points while Williams added 13, Bry Snow had 11 and Palmer had 10. Hughes scored nine points on 3-for-4 shooting from beyond the arc. Nelson netted 25 points for the Redbirds.
The Lady Bears shot 51.9 percent (28-54) for the game to overcome 24 turnovers that resulted in 31 ISU points. MSU shot 14-for-17 from the foul line, 5-for-10 on 3-pointers and held a 35-26 rebounding edge.
Missouri State plays its next four games at JQH Arena, beginning Friday (Jan. 31) at 7 p.m. against Evansville (7-11, 2-5).

In Bulkypix's Gnu Revenge, all of the gnus have been captured by a crocodiles. However, not quite all of the gnus have been taken away; a sole gnu remains as their last hope... and he has a jetpack, to boot! And so it falls to him to rescue his kind by blasting off into outer space and smashing some space crocodiles. your goal is to fly into the three bubble-trapped gnus (who represent the traditional stars of these types of games) spread throughout each stage and finish by smashing into the croc's saucer, sending him flying off into another region of space. Other than an"abort/retry" button, there is only one button you need to use in this game, and it controls the burst from the gnu's jetpack. As you progress, you'll encounter different obstacles, such as cannons, planetoids and black holes, and bursts of air that can knock you off-course. There are no other controls besides boosting and not-boosting, so it's up to you to make the most of your environment to rescue as many gnus as possible and knock off the croc's block. Another dissapointment of the game is that a lot of stages have very tiny margins of error; boost for a microsecond longer than necessary, and you spin out of a planet's orbit. A microsecond shorter, and you'll crash and burn.
Gnu Revenge fails to deliver enough entertainment to stand on its own hooved feet.

Yet, when one compares the "bawds", "strumpets", "trulls", "cutpurses", "knaves", and "rascals" of Fielding and Smollett to the "hookers," "pimps," "Narcs," "junkies," and "snitches" of today's criminal argot, one wonders just which direction we are traveling on civilization's ladder.People v. Benton (1978) 77 Cal.App.3d 322, 324.
Language is ever-changing. This is particularly true in prisons, where there is the motion of people coming and going, a culture based on a unique set of circumstances, and the need to speak in words that often carry depths of meaning. There are forms of expression that can never be fully understood by the outside world. There are also words that vary from race to race, prison to prison -- as well as slang that find its way into prisons from the outside. As a result, this list will never be complete, and may contain some words that are obsolete, used in different ways at different prisons, or simply not spoken at a particular institution.
This dictionary contains words dealing with sex or violence, matters that are part of prison culture. Many of the terms relate to specific California procedures -- such as "602s." However, this list has grown to contain words and phrases from prisons in various states. Where known, these are identified in parenthesis. Spanish words similarly are identifed as "Sp."
Please feel free to submit new words to this list or to let us know about any errors. Due to limited time and resources, we are able to update this dictionary only very infrequently. Special thanks to all who have contributed.

The Opening Statement I'd Have Romney Make Tonight
October 3, 2012 - 11:42 am
"As the deaths of Agent Ivie and Agent Terry can be directly attributed to the failed domestic policies of this administration, the deaths and injuries of Americans in Benghazi and elsewhere can be directly attributed to the failure of the Obama administration's foreign policy, one of bombing from a distance and refusing to engage the realities on the ground. Mr. Obama's White House steadfastly lied to the American people for ten days about the root cause of this terrorist attack. Instead, it attempted to blame an America citizen for the carnage.
"I know… I have a hard time believing it, too.
"Mr. Obama has failed Americans at home. Mr. Obama has failed Americans around the world. Mr. Obama has managed to play 105 rounds of golf.
"He has also presided over the only two credit downgrades in this nation's history.
"You deserve better.
"I look forward to the chance this evening to share with the American people my vision for restoring respect to the Office of the President, for a strong economic recovery that puts Americans back to work, and for a foreign policy that has the enemies of this nation fear us and the allies of this nation proud of their relationship with us, not the other way around.
"Tonight, we begin the road to recovery that Mr. Obama could never find.
"Mr. Obama, get out of our way."

Patients who have undergone in vitro fertilization (IVF) and produced four or less follicles or had four or less oocytes (eggs) retrieved are often referred to as poor responders. We will refer to these patients from this point forward as "low responders" to avoid using a potentially offensive label. We are currently using 2 different IVF medication protocols in our practice to treat low responder patients with infertility: the "Microdose Leuprolide" protocol and the "Luteal Phase Ganirelix" protocol. We would like to conduct a randomized-controlled trial and randomize patients to one treatment group or the other to determine which medication protocol is more effective in treating infertility in this group of patients.

ALTUS — Western Oklahoma State College's accrediting board has placed the school on probation following a review of a controversial online course reportedly favored by college athletes.
Western Oklahoma State College on probation after review of online courses
The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools found the college's 10-day accelerated online courses don't meet quality and rigor standards required of compressed-format courses.
As part of the probation, the board revoked approval for the college to offer accelerated online courses and programs.
According to a public disclosure notice the board released Thursday, college officials must allow students who are enrolled in the so-called quick credit courses to complete those courses in eight-week or 16-week formats. Officials must also submit a self-study before December 2014 showing that the college has resolved concerns the board raised about the courses.
The board will visit the college in the early spring of 2015 to see whether those issues have been resolved. Over the coming months, the board will review the college's other online and classroom-based courses.
The quick credit courses came under fire when a story published late last year in the Chronicle of Higher Education claimed the courses offer dubious college credit with minimal time and effort. According to the report, major college athletics programs use the courses to keep their athletes eligible to play.
According to the article, Western Oklahoma State College's online offerings are well-known among major college athletics programs nationwide as a good option when players find themselves in an academic bind. The article raises questions about the quality of the courses and lack of academic oversight.

Maybe it's the slush and slate-gray skies, or the unscrubbed, dour faces of my overworked classmates, or the prospect of that final exam coming up tomorrow morning--but lately, I've started feeling a tad pessimistic about the state of the world.
I think the problem goes back to New Year's Eve, when I was under the Eiffel Tower, drinking cheap champagne and watching the revelers throw firecrackers at one another. (An odd people, the French.) Paris was all around me in the darkness, with its bleached-out white buildings, dark, clammy churches and long, gold-trimmed palaces, and it occurred to me that a hundred years ago, in the last year '01, the City of Lights probably would have looked more or less the same had any of my ancestors happened to visit.
There were no cars in 1901, of course, and fewer tourists, and the ghastly Centre Pompidou, which rises like a colorblind child's Lego castle above the charming boulevards around the Place de la Bastille, was mercifully unbuilt. But the long avenues were the same, and the bridges and the monuments, and then, as now, there were no skyscrapers in the center of Paris, no garish glass-and-steel confections, no piles of cement marring the long, twilit boulevards where the Parisians sat and sit still, sneering at the tourists and smoking their cool, carcinogenic cigarettes.
But--and here's where the pessimism comes in, folks--a hundred years ago, Paris and all the West possessed a thriving, glittering cultural life, one that vied with the Italian Renaissance and even ancient Athens in breadth and splendor.
Today, meanwhile, the West makes really good computers, and our video games are just excellent. But otherwise--well, things aren't quite what they used to be.
Consider my fictional ancestor visiting the France of 1901--Rudolph Douthat, we might call him, wandering the Quartier Latin and the narrow, flea-market streets of Montmartre. In the last twenty-five years alone, Paris has seen the sculptures of Rodin, the ballerinas of Degas, the water lilies of Monet, the dreamy Provencal mountains of Cezanne--not to mention to paintings of Manet, Seurat, Bonnard, Renoir and many more. Meanwhile, Toulouse-Lautrec is presiding over the Moulin Rouge nightclub, Paul Gauguin has taken ship for Tahiti and set about painting the native girls--and poor, mad Van Gogh is only ten years in the grave.
Or perhaps my great-grandsire Rudolph has more of a literary bent. If so, he might take a jaunt across the Channel to London, where a Polish emigre named Joseph Conrad has just published, in successive years, Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim. Conrad is coming in at the end of the full flowering of Victorian literature--in the last half-century, Eliot (George, not T.S.), Hardy, Henry James, Zola, Dickens, Flaubert, Balzac, Twain, Melville, Trollope, Tennyson and countless others have been busy penning new works. And with the arrival of the 1900s, our well-travelled Rudolph will soon be able to read new works by Dreiser, Cather, Wharton and Kipling--and then Lawrence, Woolf, Joyce, and eventually Paris's own bard of the boulevards, Marcel Proust.
One could go on, I suppose, into music or political philosophy--but the point should be obvious. The good news, of course, is that like the lucky, imaginary Rudolph, we too can read Conrad (or Nietzsche, to give the Teutons their due), we too can wander the Musee d'Orsay and see the flowering of the Impressionist genius--we too can enjoy the culture of a lost time.
