Artists working in studios at the BCA include painters, printmakers, sculptors, filmmakers, craftspeople, writers, performing artists and other art-related organizations.
The building includes fifty work-only studios for artists and arts organizations (studios are not live-in spaces). Studio sizes range from 110 sq ft to 1500 sq ft.
Artists and arts organizations are selected and placed in studios at the BCA through an application and jury-review process as studios become available.
If you would like more information on the Artist Studios or are interested in applying for a studio, please refer to the application instructions.
Studio 411At the BCA since 1999
Artist Statement:
In the seventh grade I learned everything was made of molecules. The idea of a cosmos quivering with an invisible, vital force fascinated me. This notion of all things being somehow connected changed my perception of the world around me and continues to influence and inform my creative process and art.My work considers the natural world, its various organisms, and the issues that affect them. I am interested in ubiquitous vulnerabilities, strengths, and contradictions that create connections. Inspired by biology, politics, and memory I collect my raw material from a variety of sources: some planned, others by chance.For the last several years, I have primarily been a painter that likes to draw. Graphite speaks to me. I like its versatile spectrum of possibility, its simplicity. Occasionally, I combine graphite with gesso, paint, or other materials to create layers of images that float in and out of view. Alongside this process lurks a collector that accumulates and assembles strange stuff-- more times than not harvested from the sidewalks and streets. Hovering somewhere between 2 and 3 dimensional work, I create off the wall sculptures that often recycle found objects by combining them with unlikely elements.My aim is to contemplate systems of existence and their occasional dissolution, to present work that considers what it means to be an integral part of the universe, and the importance of these interrelations.

Artist statement:
Public Art is a message in a bottle. In one hundred years the works we commission today will be what informs our children about who we were and what we wanted as our legacy. Great Public Art is timeless. It speaks to us now but will still be relevant to those who experience it in the future. The purpose of Public Art is NOT to decorate a building or site – that is the role of an architect or designer. Design is a creative, functional solution to a practical, definitive problem. Public Art is not practical and rarely functional. Public Art must inspire and transport us beyond our immediate needs. An artwork must challenge us with questions not soothe us with simple answers. Public art must be more than mere decorative embellishment, it must have poetry.
Title: "Ozymandias" Date: 2009, DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, MA, Budget: $20,000 Dimensions: 20' x 18' x 1'-6", Medium: Laminated wood and steel.This iconic male symbol that appears to be sinking into the ground was inspired from images of half buried Egyptian monuments made during the 19th century and the poem by Shelly. "…My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains: round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away…." This work was commissioned for the grounds of the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA.
Title: "Runner" Date: 2009, Indiana State University Recreation Center, Terre Haute, IN, Budget: $62,000 Dimensions: 23' x 18' x 20" Medium: Stainless steel. The dynamically posed monumental runner symbolizes the athletic activities taking place in the building. At night a custom light source projects shadows of students walking to and from the building. The diversity of the student's shadows contrasts the generic figure highlighting the unique quality of each participant.
Title: "Reach" Date: 2011, Mozart Park, Boston, MA, Budget: $70,000 Dimensions: 25' x 6' x 5' (not including base) Medium: engraved stainless steel. Commissioned by: New England Foundation for the Arts. From the central axis of the park the five uprights coalesce into the form of an up-reaching arm. From other views the sculpture appears to be an abstraction. Each upright symbolizes the life of an immigrant to the US. Engraved on each are quotations about life as an immigrant from immigrant youth of the neighborhood. The welded joints are purposely left unfinished to symbolize the different moments, twists, and turns in the life of an immigrant.
Title: "Meeting of Minds" Date: 2004, City Park, Denver, CO, Budget: $52,000, Dimensions: 16' x 29' x18' Medium: Steel and perforated steel. Commissioning Agency: Denver Office of Cultural Affairs. This sculpture was commissioned for Denver's first public golf course to admit African Americans. It symbolizes how thinking about individual differences has changed over time. The dominant object is a monumental African American profile rendered in perforated steel. It won a national award from Americans for the Arts, which recognized the sculpture as "one of the most exciting, compelling, and innovative public art projects completed between April 2004 and April 2005 in the United States."

Gbessouvegni Brigitte's Group
Brigitte has been selling grain in her shop for the past six years. She purchases her supplies twice a week from wholesalers in her area. Brigitte, together with her group mate, has sought and obtained a micro loan from Fnadev. With this loan, Brigitte hopes to increase her capital and meet the demand of her customers. Brigitte's goal is to maximize the income she earns, some of which she will use to further the education of her children.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Yeah I'm a believer, I won't be beleaguered
I give a damn, no Leave it to Beaver
With the R-E-S-P-E-C-T like Aretha
And if I don't use my feet then I won't have that either
Yes we serve, we deserve some peace
And we serve the least versed to reverse
The deep hurt that's featured
Each turn of the sheet of a learned history
Like Wall Street, the Trail of Tears and the War in the Philippines
And I wash my hands clean like surgeons in emergencies
Median on weed like conjoinment and Glucosamines
Relap the joint and wound the knee
Let's Deco the Negro
And be like Steve Bico, we're not hearing a beat
From the projects like [?] and research
We're jumping in feet-first
Reaction more than knee-jerk
Don't let his story recur
Swipe [?] like a Visa
A fire doesn't need a sinkhole
Just the silence of the people
[Hook (x2)]
As for me, I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free from all of this history
Yeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be free
[Verse 2: Jonny 5]
I rhyme post-post-ironic flows (homo)
I came to fuck shut up, homos
Stonewall, laugh at that, no no
Don't y'all assume that I'm straight
Cause you don't know
I'm close to the edge like Bono
Won't fall victim to the Gordian Knot
Trying to sort again rock mine
For the win
Plot lines are stretched like accordion
To Resurrect, born again, in division
Free from all the history
Beef with salt and misery
Just how it should be for y'all and is for me
That's the truth, blppppp as bald as
Mr. Clean, spit it like Listerine
'Till my lips are stinging hot, scalding, blistering
I'm composting primitive thoughts
And prayers what we want most
[?] lock the prison with God's forgiveness
It's it a bunch of [?]
Holy ghost, high hopes
Touchdown like Broncos
The song goes on like ponchos
[Hook (x2)]
As for me, I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free from all of this history
Yeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be free
And if we can start a riot (well what can we really do?)
If we can tear a city down (what can we really do?)
Crush enemies, cause casualties
If we can start a movement
If we can lift a city up
If we can heal the wounded
Feed our families, face history

As for me, I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free from all of this history
Yeah, me, I'm gonna be free, I'm gonna be free

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Legislative Black Caucus says it
will fight attempts to undo the new federal health care plan.
Several Republicans are pushing proposed constitutional
amendments that would prohibit any person from being compelled to
participate in a health care plan. About 250 people staged a rally
at the statehouse Tuesday in support of the GOP legislation.
Democratic House Speaker Pro Tem Demetrius Newton says the
legislation is unconstitutional because a state constitutional
amendment can't override a federal law.
Caucus members are threatening to cut Attorney General Troy
King's budget because he has joined several other attorneys general
in filing a lawsuit challenging the federal plan.
The Legislative Black Caucus makes up about one-fourth of the

@MISC{Reyhanitabar_analysisof, author = {Mohammad Reza Reyhanitabar and Willy Susilo and Yi Mu}, title = {Analysis of Property-Preservation Capabilities of the ROX and ESh Hash Domain Extenders}, year = {}}
Abstract. Two of the most recent and powerful multi-property-preserving (MPP) hash domain extension transforms are the Ramdom-Oracle-XOR (ROX) transform and the Enveloped Shoup (ESh) transform. The former was proposed by Andreeva et al. at ASIACRYPT 2007 and the latter was proposed by Bellare and Ristenpart at ICALP 2007. In the existing literature, ten notions of security for hash functions have been considered in analysis of MPP capabilities of domain extension transforms, namely CR, Sec, aSec, eSec (TCR), Pre, aPre, ePre, MAC, PRF, PRO. Andreeva et al. showed that ROX is able to preserve seven properties; namely collision resistance (CR), three flavors of second preimage resistance (Sec, aSec, eSec) and three variants of preimage resistance (Pre, aPre, ePre). Bellare and Ristenpart showed that ESh is capable of preserving five important security notions; namely CR, message authentication code (MAC), pseudorandom function (PRF), pseudorandom oracle (PRO), and target collision resistance (TCR). Nonetheless, there is no further study on these two MPP hash domain extension transforms with regard to the other properties. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap. Firstly, we show that ROX does not preserve two other widely-used and important security notions, namely MAC and PRO. We also show a positive result about ROX, namely that it also preserves PRF. Secondly, we show that ESh does not preserve other four properties, namely Sec, aSec, Pre, and aPre. On the positive side we show that ESh can preserve ePre property. Our results in this paper provide a full picture of the MPP capabilities of both ROX and ESh transforms by completing the property-preservation analysis of these transforms in regard to all ten security

Paper Tiger Reads Paper Tiger Television
The Box
As part of the Wexner Center's 25th anniversary, The Box is dedicating the entire year of programming to work produced in the Film/Video Studio. Screenings in this free exhibition space for video, located just across from the Wexner Center Store, run continuously seven days a week, the same hours as our ticket office (Mon–Wed: 9 AM–6 PM; Thu–Fri: 9 AM–8 PM; Sat: 10 AM–8 PM; Sun: 11 AM–6 PM).
Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, the New York–based Paper Tiger Television collective combines art, activism, and analysis to create a new kind of TV journalism—irreverent, unpretentious, and fearlessly skewering the pieties of broadcast media.
In Paper Tiger Reads Paper Tiger Television, they turn the video cameras back on themselves, drawing from their incomparable archive to demonstrate how everyday people can take back the media and be creative with it. Wexner Center visitors may recall PTTV's 1991 installation, Dream House, produced as part of their Wexner Center Residency Award, in the first year those awards were given. (app. 45 mins.)

So, I do feel that Hagler would walk him down with Pressure and cut the ring off as well. Dictating a fight isn`t always about a guys ability to move, poke out some cute ****s and box carefully to a decision. I am saying that Hagler moving in aggresively, walks Hopkins down and is busier than Hopkins. I mean prime `82 ` Hagler. You assume that Hagler `lets` Hopkins slow the fight down, and fight it at Hopkins pace. I say that Hagler too had great boxing skills and the physical equipment with tenacity to match to grind Ex down. And prime Hagler was in amazing condition, so he could keep the pressure on for 15 rds if needed. Plus Hagler would go hard to the body, and I think he would muscle Hopkins (who isn`t as strong as Hagler) inside. Hopkins legend has grown as his body did in his later years. But, if you took prime Hopkins at 160 matched against `82` Hagler. Hopkins is NOT keeping Hagler off of him...
Hopkins was the natrually bigger man. Hagler was more compact, but weight, height and length all belong to Hopkins thus making him the bigger guy.
Hagler struggled to dictate a fight to a blown up Duran, who's lateral movements limited Marvin's opportunities. Hopkins possesses that same skill, but also commanded a far more natrual swiftness of foot as his peak.
Where is the proof that Hagler is stronger than Hopkins? Because his muscles looked shinier?
Give me some proof man. Do you think Hagler has the same understanding of positioning and foot placement as Hopkins does? THAT stops him from dictating the fight to Nard. Hagler is not the ring general in this fight.
Who the hell ever walked Hopkins down? If he hits Hagler, Marvin will stop and take note, it's just a fact of life. If a 180lb man punches you in the face, you feel it.
Younger Hopkins (As opposed to the current version that I think you're using) was also much more offensively efficient, and would work both to Hagler's rib cage and head. God forbid Marvin turns southpaw, in which case he loses a lop sided UD, as maybe no better fighter in history has existed as Hopkins, when it comes to left handed opponents.

Let our guests do the talking, we know our apartment is not cheap to rent but it is one of the best one bedroom apartments on the island!
'Jeff's apartment in Palma is absolutely gorgeous. The view is breathtaking and the location is great. There is a supermarket just around the corner and a huge shopping mall about 10 mins (by foot) from the apartment. A few lovely beaches are only about a 10 minute drive away. The apartment is clean and fully equipped. Everything from the booking to the checkout went well. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone who appreciates luxury for a great price. Jeff gave us his mobile number so we were able to reach him at any time. He also gave us great tips of which beaches we should go to and recommended great restaurants. We had a fantastic holiday. Thank you Jeff! from B' in Switzerland
The apartment has easy access all year round to this fabulous City and Island. Situated on the front line of Palma, and only a short walk to the fantastic marina with restaurants, luxury pool and wonderful night life. Palma is an amazing city, stylish, historic and fun, with great cala beaches to the east and west of the town which must be explored.
Situated on the Paseo de Maritimo, Edifico Neptuno is home to this beautifully equipped designer apartment, with panoramic views over the Marina del Mar and the City of Palma. At night the City lights and the Cathedral come to life. If you are looking for a romantic city location with easy access to the Island this is a great place to stay. Fantastic for romantics, the retired and for a couple with a young child. Our 4 year old loves Palma!
The apartment is ideally located for easy access to the marina it's restaurant, cafe, bars and the night club. The night life of Palma is legendary. Edifico Neptuno sits next to the peaceful Parc de la Quarentena and walking distance from the City centre. For winter breaks the apartment provides a great hub for exploring this historic Island by car, rail, bus, and boat. For playing golf, tennis and eating at restaurants that cater for all tastes and budgets.
During the summer the apartment provides easy access to the beaches east and west of Palma. Why not charter a boat for the day, and really see Mallorca? It's not cheap but worth every penny! and we have access to some great discounts on all kinds of Yacht and Boat Charter.
The apartment has no private pool, but access to the fantastic Pool at the Marina del Mar is recommended and a day pass is only around 10 Euros. For families there is a daily creche from 15 Euros per child.
The open plan nature of the apartment allows guests to enjoy the views all year round. Leading from the living area is a double bedroom with plenty of wardrobe space and the luxury bathroom is fitted with contemporary sanitary ware and a walk in shower. The ultra modern kitchen is fully equipped with Bosch appliances which includes a fabulous built in coffee machine and all you need to eat in and relax. Furnished with a contemporary sofa with dining table and chairs that enable you to dine al fresco if you chose, with the best view of Palma possible.
Take your favorite DVDs and watch a great movie on the latest LCD HD TV.
Very importantly the apartment is fully air conditioned which keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the low season, DONT BOOK AN APARTMENT IN WINTER WITHOUT HEATING!!

The Balearic Islands region
Mallorca is the Jewel of the Mediterranean, don't take our word for it come and see! Just make sure you drive by Magaluf and Palma Nova as this is as far apart from Palma as you can get.......In reality the status quo is ideal, the stag and hens from the UK embark to Magaluf and The German equivalent head east to Palma Nova....This leaves Palma and the rest of Mallorca to bath in the beauty of the Balearic's.
Palma de Mallorca
In total contrast to Palma Nova and Magaluf, Palma de Mallorca is often described as the thinking man's Barcelona. Fabulous by night with something for everyone and by day the island begs to be explored. Palma has some wonderful architecture and of course shopping! The City and Mallorca satisfies all the senses. The island from the ocean is a paradise, you may be anchored up or laying out your sun loungers in your chosen cala, either way most of the cala beaches nearest Palma have an exotic mix of pearlescent blue sea, white sand, great food and beautiful people. Mallorca is a winter delight too, great scenery, walks, train rides, golf, tennis, restaurants, bars, or just chill in the apartment it has the best view of Palma guaranteed!

"Fantastic views from a stylish, modern apartment"
What a fabulous time we had on holiday in this apartment! Despite the fact that we had seen pictures on the website, the flat - and its view – was still a fantastic surprise when we arrived. We felt really at home and could really have spent the whole holiday sitting at the window with the glass curtain open watching the world pass by: it never ceased to entertain us, day or night. The apartment was always a pleasure to come back to when we'd been out for the day with its well-equipped kitchen (which we rarely used - far too many good places to eat out) and luxurious bathroom. Like other reviewers, we also felt that we had the best of both worlds: a cultured city break but with the added bonus of the stunning sea views and the buzz surrounding the harbour and marina. The walk along the waterfront into the old town was always a pleasure. Palma is a lovely city and we enjoyed exploring both it and the island. We would return in a second - and would certainly check to see if this flat was available!

"Stunning views by day and night."
My partner and I were looking for an apartment to relax in and enjoy the views and we certainly were not disappointed. Palma Cathedral is a stunning backdrop to a bright and lively marina that can be seen from all angles of the balcony and the perfect scene to enjoy your breakfast by... or sample a glass or two of wine in the evening. Everything is available and easy to manage and I thoroughly recommend making use of the coffee machine. There are some very good restaurants close by....or take advantage of the local Carrefours supermarket at Porto Pi for every item you could possibly need. (turn right and a 20 min walk from the apartment)

This is how I repaired a Mamiya 6 bellows.
On the inside I glued an oversize patch cut from black gaffer tape. On the outside I applied many coats of a product called Plasti-Dip (black, of course) which I first thinned with naptha. I let each coat dry for about an hour before applying the next until it all looked fairly well blended in. Plasti-Dip is basically a liquid rubber.
I used a small paint brush to apply it and also painted it on the frayed corners of the bellows which seemed to work well at sealing and strengthening them. There were no light leaks afterward and the bellows folded normally.

Theres no videos?No briefing videos?Or no story scenes?
Either way,thats a tad disappointing...
The Past Ain't What It Used To Be... The first Command & Conquer received its last official update on the 21st of June, 1996. Since then, the game has been ported to Windows (as "Gold" version), and re-released in the big "The First Decade" collection pack, but has never received any more bug fixes. The C&C Gold Patch 1.06 project aims to bring this classic into the new millennium, by fixing the old bugs, supporting higher resolutions, and adding new modding and mapping possibilities. It also contains an addon-based language system, allowing anyone to create translation packs for the game.
Complete No-CD game installation pack of C&C Gold v1.06c r3, without videos, with all music included. Videos can be found separately in the downloads section. Updated with CnCNet 5 on 01/07/2014.
Theres no videos?No briefing videos?Or no story scenes?
Either way,thats a tad disappointing...
Q: After installing the patch, I don't get videos anymore!
A: This means you enabled the No-CD mode when installing the patch. Which is a pretty stupid thing to do if you want to keep seeing videos, since those happen to be on the CDs. You can disable the No-CD mode in the setup tool, or download the videos pack from the website.
That's just about the patch though. As for the full installer, yeah, I haven't actually released said packs yet. Really gotta get around to doing that.
There's a pack somewhere on Nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com , in the fullcnc folder I think.
You can download them here:
Just a note for people looking at this comment later: the video packs are in the downloads here on ModDB now :)
Thank you!!!!
Hey Nyerguds. Awesome work on the Command & Conquer Patch. I know that you're just mostly a specialist with the original C & C and Red Alert, but have you ever thought about learning and branching out more in the Command and Conquer universe and doing more things with other C & C games? Also, by the way, a suggestion to the original Command & Conquer patch and to Red Alert that you also work on. The high-resolution patch was a good start, but the graphics bug is a pain in the ***. A lot of computer screens are now in HD, and a lot of TVs are now having PC hookups to run in HD, so I was wondering if somewhere down the line, could you work on a better enhanced version of the high resolution patch and make it so C & C works better in HD? Also, I would like that same suggestion possibly worked on with Red Alert down the road as well. I look forward to hearing back from you, Nyerguds. My girlfriend and I say keep up the good work.
Honestly, the graphics bugs are really minor if you just clear the screen by opening the main menu... as the FAQ says.
As for RA, other people are already working on that.
And just because you CAN run C&C in 1080x1200 now, doesn't mean you SHOULD; the maximum possible size of the game's maps is smaller than that. I did the free resolution control mostly to accommodate laptops with irregular screen resolutions. Playing in resolutions higher than 1024 is defnitely not advised.
hey has anyone knows how to play multiplayer?..im kinda alone....can someone help?
I advise you to check out Cncnet.org
Nyerguds, aren't you going to provide a separate all-in-one download link for all C&C movies from this website (or your website) instead of looking for it in the file index?
No one should forget old games.
Thanks Nyerguds.
Thanks Nyerguds!.
I'm big fan of C&C Gold since 90s. You guys are ******* so great!!! Thanks.
Great job !I am happy to be able play this game again after long time.
I just have one issue while playing. If someone could help me to fix it would be great. I using 8.1 windows. Game works fine for some time, but then I playing longer menu bar freezes and I can't save my progress. Moving pointers does not really help I just able to load game using them.
Odd bug... but if you can still use the keyboard, then you should be able to go through the menu to save your game.
In the configurator, try to tick "Limit frame rate"

The time has come for Immaculate Infatuation to expand. We're of the belief that the rest of the continental United States is primed for the taking, and as of today, we're loading up the wagons and heading for what's rightfully ours.
Over the next few months, you'll see some changes start to take place that we think will make this website a better and more useful way for you to find and read about restaurants – whether you're in New York City or outside of it. Slowly but surely, we'll be covering new cities, introducing some new content, and becoming generally more prolific and awesome. More on that soon. So what exactly does that mean for you?
We've gotten a lot of emails from various people over the years asking if they can write for us. The answer has always been no. We weren't ready yet. Well, times have changed. We're taking applications starting today. Much like we've found in our other lives in the music business, it's all about finding the talent. And now's your chance to pull the food writing equivalent of getting discovered on YouTube. You might just be a restaurant review writing Justin Bieber.
As much as we're looking for an internet star, what we're really looking for are people who are cut from the same cloth we are. Regular people who are food obsessed, but aren't pretentious about it. The person in your group of friends who always picks the restaurant, and always gets it right. What we aren't looking for are professional writers – of any sort. We're also not looking for people in any way associated with the restaurant or culinary world. No publicists, no Maître d's, no sous chefs, and nobody who spends time hanging out with chefs. And anyone who has the word "foodie" in their Twitter bio will be immediately disqualified. Also, please note. We're pretty well covered in NYC. The goal of this search is to uncover talent outside of our city.
If you read this website a lot, you know pretty damn well who we are and what we're all about. If you think that you or any of your friends, acquaintances, or peers might be great for this, let us know. The application process is simple: Write one restaurant review in the same format that we do (complete with a rating, Perfect For tags, and a Food Rundown), put it in a Word document, and email it to us at email@example.com & email@example.com. Don't worry about what city you currently reside in. As long as it's some kind of population center, you are eligible.
Also, related to this topic, starting next week you will begin to see some new bylines on reviews. We've enlisted the help of silent Infatuation partner Mike Mignano (pictured seated, with musket) to handle reviews on the other side of the Hudson for us, mainly Jersey City and Hoboken. And our very own Sweatshorts (pictured, with hounds) will be covering some of New York City for us as well. We met Sweatshorts on Twitter a few years ago when he was looking for a date for Turkey Leg Ball, and it turns out he actually knows what he's talking about when it comes to restaurants. Here's to hoping he's not a psycho.
We're excited about the future, and we're looking forward to reading some reviews. See you out on the dusty trail.

As promised, we have an announcement for you today. This is your official notice that things are about to look a little different here at Immaculate Infatuation.

In March of 2012, the small town designer bid out 7 of the industries' biggest names including Hall of Famers Jack Nicklaus , Greg Norman and Gary Player for arguably the most important golf course to be built in decades maybe ever. It's always been our goal to be intentionally small. And we didn't want to haveand I and four other guys out there trying to build a golf course .

So first I would say congratulations to both of you. Thanks. Gil Hanse will be the architect of the third golf course . I'm gonna start with you, Rich and, and just say how many architects did you consider and why did you ultimately end,think from our standpoint, we wanna just carry that on through this golf course and, and the land that they've allowed us to take a look at, we've got a pretty good chance of building something special. Talk about the land a little bit. What exactly excites, excites you about it? How many acres are you working with? Do you have a routing yet? What's the timing of all this? Speaker: Well, the most exciting thing is, is sand. Sand, sand, and sand. You know? I think we all, without exception, maybe Augusta would be the exception. Every great golf course in the world, has, has a sand base to it. And I think, definitely, without exception, every great modern golf course has been based on sand. So, from that standpoint, we've got the, the best foundation we can build off of. The landto probably a 250 acre parcel where we are comfortable where the golf course will more than likely sit there. Just off to the left hand side of Streamsong Red's. Third hole and fourth hole, but

Chicken Little Is Right
Don't look now, but our planes are falling out of the sky.
Jan 28, 2008, Vol. 13, No. 19 • By GARY SCHMITT and THOMAS DONNELLY
The defense deficit that was created during the Clinton years was never really fixed. On the manpower side, the Clinton cuts have only begun to be made up as the stress of fighting two ground-intensive wars has forced the Bush administration to increase the strength of the Marines and the Army. Even when the modest increases now programmed are fully implemented--a process that will take five more years--the active U.S. Army will still be just a bit more than two-thirds the size it was in 1991. When it comes to materiel, the "procurement holiday" of the '90s was followed by the Rumsfeld years, when the Pentagon focused first on "transformation" and then on the wars. While our planes aged, Donald Rumsfeld also slowed Army and Marine Corps modernization, allowed the Navy to shrink, and let our space program drift and deteriorate. As defense analyst Andrew Krepinevich has remarked, since 9/11 we have seen a largely "hollow build-up," one filled with funds for operations, maintenance, readiness, and health care--but not weapons.
The procurement budget to replace and buy new weapon systems and platforms has increased, of course--but not enough. In their first six years, the Clinton team reduced the Bush administration's last budget projections for procurement by more than $160 billion. In 2000, the Congressional Budget Office argued that some $90 billion a year was needed to hold procurement steady. The procurement budget for that year was $55 billion. But note that the George W. Bush team did not reach the $90 billion mark until 2005, and even then dropped back below that figure the following two years. Add inflation since 2000 and the unexpected wear and tear of two wars on equipment and the gap between what we need to buy and the projected budgets for doing so grows even wider.
The administration's strategy for squaring this circle has largely been to cut the number of platforms being acquired--like the F-22--or drag out development and procurement--as with the Navy's proposed new fleet of destroyers and cruisers. Yet, even so, the budget numbers are inadequate to cover the Pentagon's projected 2,500 Joint Strike Fighters (F-35s), hundreds of new air-refueling tankers, a raft of new surface combatants, and additional submarines.
The budget picture turns even bleaker when one factors in acquiring a new constellation of space assets and the new bomber or global strike capability we will probably need to develop. And land force modernization has been slowed by the immediate demand to repair or replace losses in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even the "emergency supplemental" wartime appropriations were slow to take equipment needs into account; the situation has improved, but as recently as a year ago, the Army had a backlog of two full divisions' worth of M1 tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles at its repair depots.
There is some good news. Among the leading presidential candidates, no one is explicitly arguing for cutting the defense budget, as some did in 1992. And there seems to be bipartisan consensus that increasing the size of our land forces is the right thing to do. Unfortunately, this won't be enough. As Fred Thompson noted in a speech at the Citadel in November, either we spend more and build up our military "and deter war, or we can allow our forces to wither and risk conflict." Of course, it will take real leadership to explain to the American people that, despite all they have heard about the size of the U.S. defense budget, it's not going to be enough if they want a military that can safely retain its position of global preeminence and effectively deter, police, assist, and fight, as it has been asked to do numerous times since the end of the Cold War.
During the 2000 campaign and in response to the conservatives' charge that the Clinton administration had neglected our defenses, then candidate Dick Cheney famously declared, "Help is on the way." Alas, it will be up to the next president to fulfill that promise.

THE CONTRIBUTION of propaganda, and in particular sermons, to creating a public image of the crusade cannot be underestimated. By the thirteenth century, crusade propaganda had come to play a considerable public role throughout most parts of Europe. As the century progressed, its volume and frequency continued to grow. The main factor in this growth was the ever more systematic organisation of crusade propaganda by the papacy. The involvement of the mendicant orders, in particular, meant that by the second half of the thirteenth century, there was a powerful machinery for crusade propaganda in place which could be put into action at relatively short notice and with a considerable degree of efficiency.1 Even though we do not have any exact figures, it is probably no exaggeration to say that, theoretically, the great majority of inhabitants of Europe would have had the opportunity of listening to several crusade sermons during their lifetime. Even those who never actually made it to a crusade sermon would probably have heard reports from other people. This means that the impact of crusade sermons on the manner in which the public perceived of crusading and the crusade must have been considerable.
This chapter discusses how the model sermons presented here portray the crusade and the crusader. Even if crusade model sermons are no direct records of how crusade propaganda was actually delivered, these sermon texts are the next best sources for establishing the framework of ideas within which crusade propagandists worked. The discussion that follows is an attempt to describe some of the general ideas and common elements shared by all, or at least most, of the crusade model sermons. The emphasis is not so much on the exact presentation and development____________________
