A lot of critics may not work in the commercial art world but a lot of people who work in the commercial art world are critics, thanks to blogs and personal web sites.
Their opinions do matter and have the ability to affect things and a lot of people aren't going to make the distinction or don't care. I personally prefer full disclosure so it was a good question.
This has been coming up a lot lately because I saw it in another forum and it's making me wonder what to think of it all.
Kirsten Anderson, the founder of Roq la Rue here in Seattle published a book in 2004 on Pop Surrealism. It the most comprehensive compilation on the subject and is highly regarded, as is Roq la Rue, for being an authority and cornerstone for the movement. And it certainly cemented Roq la Rue's success with collectors as a gallery that solely caters to that style, even though it had already been open for 6 years and probably had a following anyway.
Fast forward to now where Kirsten Anderson is the new Editor-at-large for Hi-Fructose magazine; a mag that threatens to topple Juxtapoz off the top of the pile of art and culture magazines and one that many artists consider a fresh alternative due to the fact that it is new and has yet to be corrupted by the many corporate/commercial interests that magazines have to rely on to survive eventually as they evolve.
Dodge and Burn is a newish Seattle based arts and culture magazine directed by Damion Hayes who co-owns BLVD gallery with Kirsten and others.
What this is saying to me more than anything is that if you can't get press (and press is crucial), make it yourself. And if you want to have a successful venture you can't leave it up to critics to pave your way alone. It's becoming increasingly common, its clever and I commend them.
I don't think it matters when its a commercial venture but it is kind of important to know the details of any potential conflict of interest.
A truly good critic doesn't sell work on the side, but may someday in the future or have some other interest in the commercial side. After all, a critic has some interest in working with their editors to not piss off their advertisers and it would be really interesting to hear of any time that might have happened at the Stranger or the Voice. Just curious.
Another thing that makes a good art critic is addressing topics like this so thanks for the post.
The Voice has a problem and MAN has done a masterful job exposing it.
Pop Surrealism as a book is not highly regarded other than something lovely to sit on your coffee table. The book was created to sell art and promote a new ism which really does not work as an idea since the author does not really get the conceptual ideas behind Pop or Surrealism. It sure helped sell some art which was the purpose of the book in the first place.
At The Capitol Hill Times editorial and advertising are run by different departments. I have never been influenced by the ad department. I am sure this is true for The Stranger as well.
Viveros-Faune lack of an ethical compass really shows how low the VV has become.
I have no problem with Viveros-Faune being a critic for the VV and managing an art fair as long as both role are disclosed and Viveros-Faune does not have an interest in a commercial gallery (he doesn't). As I have said elsewhere, I am much more worried about undisclosed relationships (good or bad) between critics on the one hand and artists or dealers. I am also not aware of any instance in which there has even been a suggestion that Viveros-Faune's reviews were tainted by any alleged conlict of interest. Viveros-Faune's reviews are persuasive or not based on his powers of observation and analysis. In the end all we can do is look at the art and make up our own minds. Do I detect a touch of self-importance creeping into criticism of V-F from other critics?
Since I got dragged into this thread, I feel I have to address one of these comments:
Steven - As the author of "Pop Surrealism", I'm curious how you've come to be so certain of my motives, you sure sound authoritative about the subject considering I've never talked to you nor know you at all. I think maybe you haven't read any of the essays by Larry Reid, Carlo McCormick, or Robert Williams (or even me when I discuss the naming of the movement) because you don't really come off like you know what you're talking about. As for the book being highly regarded or not, in some circles it isn't (like yours I guess) and it some it is, considering it sold 16,000 copies so far and continues to this day to sell out its print runs.
As for the charge it was written to sell art...my motivation for writing "Pop Surrealism" was to stamp a moment in time for an emerging art movement that has since gone on to be very successful and influential. No one else was doing it, I knew all the artists, so I did it. It wasn't written to "sell art", in fact I didn't know if the book would really sell at all. After the fact, I'm sure it HAS helped sell art, for many many galleries,including mine, (and including Vermillion which Diana, the first commenter above, owns, since it has stated that Pop Surrealism is on its roster) but so what? I don't assume my readers are so gullible that if I said something is cool they will run out and empty their wallets.
I accepted the Editor at Large position at Hi Fructose magazine after they asked me because I've been writing about this art, understand and have a passion for this art,and know the background and history of this art. So who better to write about it? Granted, charges of conflict of interest will inevitably occur, but that is up to my editors to decide. I am not nor would ever consider myself a critic, merely a writer or chronicler.
Sorry if you y'all don't like it!
-Kirsten Anderson
I think you are mistaken about Kirsten Anderson, author of Pop Surrealism and owner of Roq la Rue Gallery. If you had read the book or seen her speak on the subject at the Frye Art Museum or Gage Academy, you would see that she does, indeed, have a clear understanding of the ideas and concepts swirling about pop surrealism and low brow art.
I don't think the book ever intended to be a heavy academic art tome. It's more like a love letter or scrapbook that one would put together to honor a loved one. It's not a book of art criticism, it's a book of art love. It's a salute, an homage, a LOVE LETTER.
To imply she was moved to write about these artists and to show their paintings in a beautiful light, simply to sell art in her gallery, is disingenuous and unfair.
With your lust for the lash, we should call you "Tailgunner Jen" -- it is people like you, and Tyler Green, and that moron at Art Fag City, who are handmaidens to fascism.
The point is -- how's the work, good or bad? Viveros-Faune does pretty good. Can any of you say the same?
At least Viveros-Faune is upfront about what he is doing. I think a more troubling issue would be if say a critic was good friends with the spouse or girlfriend of a gallerist and subsequently heaped a bunch of praise on said gallery. How are we to know to what extent these type of relationships determine coverage?
What a tangled web this art world is.
I think Steven missed my point - that conflict of interest is possible in other situations. I didnt mean to imply that Anderson is a critic, as much as a widely considered authority on a particular subject. A critic should surely be an authority on a subject but not necessarily the other way around.
But the tone of the response kind of verifies my point with regard to press coverage. Its kind of amusing to see someone who runs a local art blog discount an entire successful and historic style.
I just appreciate the disclosure because theres not a whole lot you can do about it in art circles that overlap. I dont think the VV had all that far to fall anyway.
Well I guess that Viveros-Faune's little lapses are a bit much even for the Village Voice, Tyler Green at MAN reports that he is no longer with the Voice.
I have no problem with Kirsten Anderson as a gallery owner, art promoter, and general supporter of the arts. These roles are vital for the Visual Arts.
The book Pop Surrealism is a promotional device to sell a certain flavor of art. It is not Art History. I have read the book and would not comment on it otherwise. Sales figures do not mean that the book is important it does mean that it is a very attractive book.
Pop Surrealism is a myth built on superficial formalistic likenesses. They tried the same thing in New York with "Neo-expressionism" in the 80's. It did not fly then and does not fly now.
Anyone can be an authority on make believe.
I have not seen Hi Fructose magazine but I hope that editorial board understands the issue of conflicts of interests and exercise due scrutiny over her editorial activities.
As a Historian of Art, I am obliged to evaluate the source of the information along with the information presented.
As an Art Critic I have no financial interest in any commercial gallery nor have I been paid to write for any commercial gallery publication.
VroomJournal.com is not a really a blog, I think of it as a multi-channel media distribution system.
ps. There are no ads on VroomJournal.com just sponsors and merch.
"Pop Surrealism is a myth built on superficial formalistic likenesses. They tried the same thing in New York with "Neo-expressionism" in the 80's. It did not fly then and does not fly now."
"Anyone can be an authority on make believe."
Oh my god, dude, are you kidding me?
I know you state you are an Art Historian (with CAPITALS), but to deny that a very real art movement (whatever you may think of the label) arose out of Southern California, spread nationally, and influenced a generation of artists is just, well, embarrassing. It has two magazines solely devoted to it, a vast network of galleries worldwide who exclusively exhibit it, several top artists who command half a million to a million per painting, many others who sell work in the $10k-$50k range per painting, multiple artists who have had museum exhibits (Mark Ryden, Todd Schorr, Camille Rose Garcia, Alex Gross to name a few) and high powered collectors who buy it (you know, who own global corporations and sit on museum boards and such). Just because it doesn't follow whatever supposed rules you want to impose on it doesn't make it make believe.
But I am glad to know what a paragon of virtue you are in regards to your blog, er multi channel media distribution system. That doesn't accept ads, just sponsors.
Kirsten thats "Historian of Art" to you.
Also please remember that when you address Mr. Vroom you are addressing an authority on Multi Channel Media Distribution Systems. What a tool.
You have just laid out a sophisticated pathology of consumption in your world. I am not arguing that people believe your myth, I am stating that I do not. I am not casting aspersions on anyone, I am trying to be as honest as I can be.
The fluidity of ethics in the Art World has long been a problem. I only call them as I see 'em.
we all live in the same reality, . . .ignoring something because you don't like it, doesn't make it go away, . . .you lack the power to make such things go away, because you are not part of the "money culture" that helped propel the Neo-Expressionists in NYC in the 1980's your opinion on the subject has no effect on their established value and significance.
The money invested in those artworks will dictate their place in the art market and history, whether you believe in it or not, . . .the money culture decides such things, NOT YOU . . .when you become a millionaire and have millionaire friends, maybe you can make a dent in it on some level, perhaps even influence some opinions that matter( money culture) . . .which brings me to the Pop Surrealism work, . . .it's not at all like Neo-Expressionism, . . .It's one of those "You had to be there" kind of things. Again, you're not part of this "ism" either, so you don't have a stake in it. Be honest and more simplistic, . . .you just don't like it, . . .that's all you have to say, . . . In the real world, . . . the Truth is what it is, . . .not what you think it is. Time and money have an impact on such things, . . .Not You. Your opinion will not convince the Museum of Modern Art in NYC to remove a Basquiat painting, . . .because you "don't believe in the myth". You're no more of an authority on the subject than I am.
We both have the same kinds of art history degrees, . . . it just means we know how to read books and write extended term papers. It's an honest mistake, . . .you've confused your opinion with reality; Your own myth. The artists and the collectors are the ones making history, . . . You need to pay more attention to the impact.
You are not one of the taste-makers that matters. Speaking of Pop Surrealism, . . . Did you know that Vinyl toys featured in Hi Fructose and Juxtapoz magazine are now in the MOMA's recent acquisitions?, . . .suck on that!
You theory is that I am not rich or cool enough to believe in "Pop Surrealism".
I think that sums it all up.
Believe what you want, it does not make it true.
if it means anything, tony curtis is also included in moma's recent acquisitions. sucking.
hey tailgunner jen, check this out -
I guess this convo is over because you and I will probably never agree, but I just want to point out you repeatedly stating "It's not true" with zero backup isn't really a compelling argument. Nor is trying to backtrack by saying you aren't casting aspersions while just a few posts up you quite clearly are casting aspersions on my motives, while dishonestly proclaiming your point as if it were fact rather than your own opinion (which I would have zero problem with).
And uh..."sophisticated pathology of consumption"? Ok, if that makes you feel better when you go to sleep at night.
Anyway...you know what they say about arguing on the internet...
Tony Curtis, . . . Ouch
There's no accounting for taste, . . .
Steven, . . . I wasn't implying that you weren't cool, . . .I was implying that just because you don't like something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. that's very silly.
And yes, money has a lot to do with the elevation of an art movement as well as its fashionability, . . .they kind of go hand in hand. You'd be a fool to think otherwise.
The neo-expressionism in the 1980's faded not because it wasn't real, . . . but because the art market bubble burst and a few of the artists kind of died, for real. Basquiat, Keith Haring, Andy Warhol(not really part of that movement, but instrumental in the introduction of Basquiat), etc, . . . the value of the work did not fall off, it hit a holding pattern and the secondary market stopped for a time.
As far as "Pop Surrealism" is concerned, . . . it's still here, it's still evolving, . . .there are galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver, Philadelphia, Rome, London, Paris, Montreal, Hamburg, Berlin, and Sydney, Australia, . . .In New York, there are galleries in Chelsea, SoHo, and Williamsburg, Brooklyn that deal this type of work, . . . I suspect it would have happened even without that book, . . . I can't wait to see what happens next.

Information about Effie BRAND or Mary BRAND
UK Outward Passenger list 1890-1960 lists Mary (32) and Effie Brand (2) onboard a ship named Rubian, headed for Durban, date of departure 9 Oct 1891 from Southampton. Marriage certificates of Effie's sister Mary Brand to Peter Greig in Durban 1923 show that Mary (mother was a widow at time of marriage). One of the witnesses was a Louise Brand who may be a relative?
Looking for any other source documents for Effie (born about 1889) to support the events of her life. She wrote a letter for her family stating that she married trice, (1) married 7 Oct 1907 Joseph de Agostini - born in Italy, he was murdered in Durban 17 Jul 1920) (2) 2 Jun 1920 (family says the year is incorrect?) John Brand - he died in a car accident 2 hours after the wedding so marriage was annuled. (3) 19 Nov 1941 in Que que, Rhodesia, (now called Kwekwe, Zimbabwe) Cyril Johnson. [Effie's grandson said that 3 marriage was never preformed according to law of land however Effie's letter states otherwise and gives a date. Effie died in Rhodesia, (now Zimbabwe), its presumed in same place she married.
Mary (born about 1858). Looking for details of middle name and maiden name, record of birth, marriage records, spouse name, parents names, siblings, death date and place. There is a grave for a Mary Janet Brand at Red Hill Cemetery, Standford Hill in Durban South Africa which may be connected. Date of death is 31 Aug 1912, Buried 1 Sept. (nee Mary Lewis)

What's a six-sided rhombus? A rhombus is a mathematical shape with four equal sides. Surely a six-sided rhombus is a contradiction?
- Gnomon 2-Feb-2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 13:30, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
I am cutting several large chunks[edit]
out of the article because they appear to be not only opinion and original research (both things that I am not altogether opposed to) but also mean spirited and combative. the references appear to be dead links and the chief source appears to be a talk or interview with someone's wife. It needs to be better sourced, at best. Here it is:
- After some fumbling attempts to design his Office Space he contacted Bob Goodall, Frank Lloyd Wright's chief Draftsman and convinced him to abandon Wright and come to Midland and set up a partnership. It should be remembered that FLLW was Louis Sullivan's chief draftsman hence this is a very high honor. Goodall was a master of descriptive gemometry and extremely tasteful and creative and he fully understood Frank Lloyd Wrights principles of design and taste. It is not true that Dow designed his office space himself. In fact it is an outright breach of honesty. When Goodall arrived he totally changed the immature design into a masterpiece with a particularly interesting passage of having a sunken seating area that glided on down into an adjacent pond hence blending into the surrounding environment with the architecture. If Alden spoke that he operated under the principles "honesty, humility and enthusiasm." it is a perfect travesty of the truth. [1] In his early career, Dow concentrated on residential design using his signature style of Unit Block construction.[2] When Alden went to Detroit to ride back to Midland with Bob, Bob unveiled his unit block concept to Alden and Alden agreed to have it patented if he could attach his hame in partnership. Goodall Invented and Designed the blocks and insisted that they be of natural color as he did his own house. Alden wanted to paint them white so there was a bit of a conflict. Though they appeared to be a cube, were actually six-sided rhombuses which gained strength as they were stacked together.[3]
There is more, which I am going back to get. Please feel fee to pitch in. If the person doing these edits wishes to join in, so much the better. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 21:43, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
- Here is another cut and I believe that there is more.
- Goodall was the Chief Designer for Dow and the fact that Dow refused to credit Bob Goodall remains one the great travesties in the history of Architecture. One can only imagine the heartbreak at such a deceitful move. That Dow would not include Bob Goodall in the name of the company belies Goodall's tremendous contributions. Clearly Goodall was the master.
It should be remembered that Falling Water was built at approximately the same time and the possiblity arises that Goodall had also worked upon that project as well. Frank took the boat to Luddington and train over to Midland to vistit Bob and Alden and see what they were doing. While visiting Goodall's house Frank took his cane over to the side of a built in sofa and whopped it and pronounced, "You boys don't understand space!" That also was about the same time that FLLW designed the Goetsch Winkler house.
Here is yet another piece that need work before being returned to the article.
- Bob decided that he had to split from Dow because his work was not being properly attributed and opening up an office in Midland was about as difficult as carrying coals to Newcastle. Midland remains a remote Company Town for the world famous Dow Chemical Company. With the death in a car accident of his son at the senior graduation party, and loosing all hope Bob committed suicide. Dow's work markedly changed after that, becoming once again simple and without Bob's ingenious touch and taste. The work then ranged between vapid and inane.

text: Expands Footprint in Northern Indiana and Enters State of Michigan Acquisition includes 24 banking centers in Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan and nearly $780 million in deposits The transaction is expected to close 3 rd quarter 2013 EVANSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Old National Bancorp (NYSE:ONB) announced today that its bank subsidiary, Old National Bank, entered into a purchase and assumption agreement to acquire 24 retail bank branches of Bank of America. The branches are located in the Northern Indiana cities of South Bend and Elkhart, and the Southwest Michigan cities of Adrian, Battle Creek, Benton Harbor, Blissfield, Brooklyn, Constantine, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Niles, Paw Paw, Portage, and St. Joseph. Deposit and loan balances to be included in the transaction were $778.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively, as of August 2012. This transaction is subject to regulatory approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. With $9.4 billion in assets, Old National is the largest financial services holding company headquartered in Indiana. This acquisition will position Old National with more than 200 banking centers and enables the company to expand its branch network in Northern Indiana and into the communities of Southwest Michigan. Old National does not anticipate any job losses as a result of this transaction. Growing in the Northern Indiana region and entering the state of Michigan have long been a focus of Old National. The company first joined the area in 2007 with the acquisition of St. Joseph Capital Corporation in Mishawaka. The bank then opened two new locations; one in Granger, Ind. in 2009; and another in South Bend's Eddy Street Commons in 2010. This transaction doubles the number of branches in Northern Ind. and gives current clients of Old National's South Bend and Elkhart locations the benefit of an expanded footprint. This partnership marks the company's first entry point into the state of Michigan. Prev 0 of 3 Next

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Aug 01st, 2001
Running Time: 79
Director: Roy Alexandre
Company: Androgeny Productions
Cast: Ashley (I), Jade (I), Nancy (I), Sabrina (I), Others
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Trannie filler.
With two out of four good scenes, this chicks-with-dicks flick would have found itself a higher rating, if not for some sloppy editing. Scene two, with Jade is hot. She is very feminine and the sex is nasty and intense, but the choppy editing in the bathtub scene was distracting and slowed the pace. The final scene is good. Nancy has a beautiful smile and fucks like she means it, but her performance isn't enough to boost the rating.

Campus Quality:
Athletic centers are small and meet some needs of the athletes but could use bigger facilities.
Campus Quality:
Facilities are average. There is always access to a tutor which is nice, and also there is always a good place to study on campus
Campus Quality:
Overall, aside from the facilities and the campus environment being poor, the students and the people are very nice and easy to get along with. The students along with the teachers and anyone else on campus are very determined to get the job done whatever it may be and there seems to be a common interest in graduation as the main goal for the students. It is overall a a serious atmosphere, which fits me
Campus Quality:
There are multiple lounges and computer labs for student use. The athletic center/school gym is okay but it is small. Students also get a free membership to the Joliet Park District's Athletic Center which is very nice. The dining options on campus are okay.
Campus Quality:
There are plenty of student activities organized daily, howerver the facilities overall are lacking. One of the charms of St Francis is also one of its drawbacks, the beautiful old buildings. These buildings do not have all the up to date technology as other buildings may have and are often cool and drafty.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jun 07th, 2010
Running Time: 214 Min.
Director: Oren Cohen
Company: Low Art, LLC
DVD Extras: None
Cast: Bridgette B., Jayden Jaymes, Darryl Hanah, Nick Manning, London Keyes, Ann Marie Rios, Ava Rose, Danny Mountain, Anthony Rosano, Evan Stone, Rocco Reed, Chayse Evans, John West, Kayla Paige
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: High-End All-Sex
Nine scenes of pretty filth.
The company's tagline reads, "The prettiest filth ... period," and the first release from veteran producer/director Oren Cohen under his new Low Art banner definitely provides nine solid, very stylized hardcore boy/girl scenes, all with a water theme. Beautifully photographed, with rich colors and a music soundtrack out of Buddah Bar, you definitely get a lot of Andrew Blake-style sex in this two-disc set.
Ava Rose performs in two scenes, the better one the opener as she swallows Anthony Rosano's cock, fucks him and takes a load on her chin. Rich colors and slow-mo videography enhance the Ann Marie Rios/Danny Mountain roundelay. And a sexy Jayden Jaymes joyfully munches on Nick Manning's cock before he takes to fucking her hard on a plastic background and "dropping loads in your mouth." Manning also fucks pretty Asian London Keyes hard on a wooden plank. The only scene I believe is decidedly NOT erotic is the Chayse Evans/John West sequence where he spits in her face for no reason and they both use quite a bit of spitting for lube. That may be a personal thing because I despise spitting during sex scenes.
Wall-to-wall sex and it all looks beautiful, but with all the water flowing in and around all nine scenes, most people will probably have to take a few pee breaks to get through this.

The purpose of this mixed methods case study was to examine the generalization practices in qualitative research published in a reputable qualitative journal. In order to accomplish this, all qualitative research articles published in Qualitative Report since its inception in 1990 (n = 273) were examined. A quantitative analysis of the all 125 empirical qualitative research articles revealed that a significant proportion (i.e., 29.6%) of studies involved generalizations beyond the underlying sample that were made inappropriately by the author(s). A qualitative analysis identified the types of over-generalizations that occurred, which included making general recommendations for future practice and providing general policy implications based only on a few cases. Thus, a significant proportion of articles published in Qualitative Report lack what we call interpretive consistency.

ATLANTA (AP) - Political candidates across Georgia are urging their supporters to cast ballots on the last day of early voting.
More than 100,000 residents have voted early during a special period that ends Friday. While early voting was lower or relatively flat by midweek in some counties, it had increased in others.
Any voter can request a mail-in ballot or walk into a polling station starting 45 days before Election Day and cast a ballot.
State lawmakers expanded the early voting system two years ago so more voters could participate.
Fulton County election director Barry Garner says he was surprised turnout wasn't higher. He expected between 10,000 and 15,000 people would have already voted. As of Wednesday, just over 7,000 were cast.

BIMI/Spring Street Gallery Sunset Photo Tours
Please check the BI Times as times will change depending on sunsets
The first annual Oysterfest, during the last weekend in August was a huge success. Four thousand oysters were shucked and eaten by over 400 people on a perfect afternoon. Over twenty people showed up to compete in the Oyster shucking contest. It was won by Block Island born and raised Perry Phillips of Block Island Oyster Company. We turned over the BIMI oyster lease to he and Dave Deffley and they are doing a great job!
The Block Island Maritime Institute and Block Island Oyster Company hosted an event for the Taste of Block Island at BIMI on the last weekend of September. It almost felt like a summer day on the island. Dave Deffley and Perry Phillips gave a short talk about oyster farming and the BI Oyster Company, all while shucking oysters in front of a very attentive crowd.
Once they had a few plates ready, the group gathered around to slurp down raw oysters with lemon or cocktail sauce. They were delicious! Thanks to all for coming out and making the event such a great success!
Future plans are to collaborate with Pond and Beyond Kayak Tours or BI Ocean Adventures to take a kayak or paddleboard trip to the oyster lease area on the Great Salt Pond, followed by oyster tasting at BIMI.

What You See Is Deconstruction
By Sarah Boxer
Published: October 19, 1997
The Conception of Photography.
By Geoffrey Batchen.
Illustrated. 273 pp. Cambridge, Mass.:
The MIT Press. $35.
''People were stunned when they heard that two inventors had perfected a process that could capture an image on a silver plate,'' the photographer Nadar wrote in 1900. ''It is impossible for us to imagine today the universal confusion that greeted this invention. . . . Exploding suddenly into existence, it surpassed all possible expectations, undermining beliefs, sweeping theories away.''
Geoffrey Batchen, an associate professor of art and art history at the University of New Mexico, begs to differ. In ''Burning With Desire: The Conception of Photography,'' Batchen argues that people were not only not stunned by photography when its invention was announced in 1839. They had been thinking about it, preparing for its arrival, ardently desiring it for about four decades. Skipping over the much-debated question of who started photography and when (which Batchen says is ''an argument as much about virility and paternity as about history'') he focuses instead on the question of when the desire to photograph first emerged. And in particular, when that desire shifted ''from an occasional, isolated, individual fantasy to a demonstrably widespread social imperative,'' when photography became what Michel Foucault calls a ''discursive practice.''
Batchen's approach addresses one of photography's great mysteries: Why, given that all the necessary chemical and optical principles were in place by 1725, wasn't it invented a century earlier? The answer is that photography had to wait for a crucial transformation in consciousness, which finally occurred around 1800.
To define this change, Batchen draws up a list of 20 or so ''proto-photographers.'' They were artists, scientists and inventors who became obsessed between 1794 and 1839 with what Henry Fox Talbot -- who announced his invention of photography in 1839, the same year Louis Daguerre invented the daguerreotype -- poetically called ''the art of fixing a shadow.'' Batchen analyzes their words and pictures to see what was behind their desire. He finds that the proto-photographers were not, as many historians have supposed, devoted to capturing reality. Instead, they were interested in deconstruction.
Arguably the wittiest of all the proto-photographers, and certainly the best supporting evidence for Batchen's argument, is Hippolyte Bayard. He produced a paper negative only a month after Louis Daguerre's discovery was announced in 1839 and spent the rest of his life trying to get some respect. In 1840, Bayard made three pictures called ''Le Noye (Self-Portrait as a Drowned Man).'' In each one, ''we see the same naked male body sitting awkwardly on a bench,'' Batchen writes. ''The eyes are closed; the arms crossed; and the lower torso wrapped in drapery.'' Lest anyone miss the point, Bayard wrote on the back of one: ''The corpse which you see here is that of M. Bayard, inventor of the process that you have just seen. . . . The Government, having given too much to M. Daguerre, said it could do nothing for M. Bayard and the unhappy man drowned himself. . . . He has been at the morgue for several days, and no one has recognized or claimed him.''
Bayard drowned himself in pity, but not in vain. He lives on, for Batchen, as the poster child of proto-photography. Not interested in pinning down reality so much as in showing how slippery it is, Bayard speaks ''simultaneously in past, present and future tenses,'' Batchen writes, and presents himself ''as both subject and object of the photograph, as acting even while acted upon, as a representation that is also real, as self and other, present and absent, dead but also alive, as nature and culture (nature and nature morte).''
Such paradoxes are the very seeds of photography, Batchen thinks. Around 1800, which is, not coincidentally, when Foucault locates his break between the classical and modern periods, European and American intellectuals were rethinking their ideas of nature and landscape, reality and representation, time and space. Every one of those terms, Batchen notes, became ''unstable,'' loaded with ambiguity.
In the classical view, for instance, nature was seen as the great unchanging
out-there, but by the 1800's, thanks to Kant, Hegel and Goethe, ''nature came to be seen as an unruly, living and active organism,'' and, more important, one that changed depending on who was looking at it. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (a friend of three early photographers, Humphry Davy, Tom Wedgwood and Samuel Morse) compared the relation between nature and observer to the two poles of a magnet: they ''constitute each other, and are the constituent acts of one and the same power.''
Nothing represented this Romantic ideal of the bond between nature and mind quite so well as the theory of the picturesque, a set of esthetic rules for creating and judging landscape images. (And this is where cameras -- of a sort -- come into the story.) People used to travel with portable camera obscuras just to find picturesque views, to capture ''effects'' that were the result of their careful framing and selection. In fact, that was how many early photographers got the idea of making photographs. They found the fleeting picturesque images in the camera obscura so stunning that they wanted to fix them forever. Thus the picturesque preceded the photograph. The Kodak moment was there before the Kodak camera.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - U.S. Rep. Artur Davis, an early
supporter of Barack Obama with uncanny similarities to the new
president, is seeking to make history too.
Davis announced his Democratic candidacy for governor Friday in
a bid to be the first black to win Alabama's top office.
The 41-year-old, Harvard-educated lawyer ended months of
speculation over his plans at a noon announcement in Birmingham.
He spoke to a downtown crowd made up largely of whites, whose votes will be crucial if he has any shot at victory in 2010.

The Bengis centre for Entrepreneurship and Hi-Tech at Ben-Gurion University was set up to equip Israel's southern region with the business acumen and technological prowess, currently concentrated in Tel Aviv.
But the centre, established in 2000, has struggled to disassociate itself from its founder, South African businessman Arnold Bengis.
Young people in the UK are not given the same opportunities in science and entrepreneurship as Israelis, according to Martine Bernstein, a scientist in Tel Aviv.
British Jewish businessman Richard Desmond is set to complete the sale of Channel 5 for £450 million, it was reported this morning.
The deal - which is yet to be confirmed by Mr Desmond or buyer Viacom, the American broadcaster and owner of MTV – falls £250 million short of the billionaire's initial £700 million asking price.
Advertisers have to be prepared change or face closure, says a man who should know.
Matt Davis's advertising agency The Red Brick Road, once relied on Tesco for the bulk of the business.
But when the supermarket giant went elsewhere, he was forced to swiftly change course to stay afloat.
An Israeli entrepreneur has secured over £1 million from private investors for his award-winning UK-based property company.
Nitzan Yudan, founder of Flat-Club, which helps young professionals find short-term accommodation by renting through their trusted social networks, says the funding will boost the company's global presence.
It's all gone wong again for Wonga founder Errol Damelin. It's only two months since the leading payday loan company hit the headlines because the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said he wanted to compete Wonga out of business, sparking a flurry of press asking whether the company's sky-high interest rates are exploitative.
Now he's in trouble with the Jews.
With fiery, curled hair, freckled skin and almost always dressed in black, Kelly Hoppen is the stern-but-fair Jewish businesswoman billed as the poster girl for the latest series of Dragons' Den on BBC2.
On last Sunday's programme, Hoppen nostalgically recalled her South African roots as she chewed on a piece of cured meat and compared it to growing up eating biltong.
Official statistics released this week indicated a 20,000 fall in youth unemployment in the UK.
The statistics, released by the Office for National Statistics on Wednesday, were described as "encouraging news" by Prime Minister David Cameron.
A 29-year-old marketing expert has been named as the new chief executive of the leading organisation promoting trade links between Britain and Israel.
Facebook has named prominent advertising executive Nicola Mendelsohn as its new head of European operations.
Ms Mendelsohn is the owner of advertising agency Karmarama and formerly the first female president of the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA).
Now living in Finchley, she was born in Manchester, where her mother, kosher caterer Celia Klein is still based.

Love the effects and style. Like the title, too, even if it's not really part of the song. Interesting instruments, but for me it didn't seem to go too far in the emotional department. I wish you expanded on the deep and whole sound of the first 20 seconds or so. The whole piece sounds like an echo of my day as I drift off to sleep...not a bad thing for an ambience song, but I'm not sure it keeps my attention as well as it should. Btw, love the effect at :31 and the dreamy piano you have in there later in the song. I think you should keep working on it, but great start.

I'm working on a new site for our company using WordPress as a CMS. I'm fairly familiar with it, but haven't used the "Users" option very often during my past builds. I've got the login/logout feature working correctly but as of right now when a user types in their info it takes them to the dashboard, showing only what they have access to.
We'd like to be able to give a username and password to a client, and have it give them access to a page that we can post updates about projects we are working on for them. We'd also like to keep it so other clients can't access each others project information. I'm also hoping to have this user-page follow the template format, not the dashboard format - so it looks like its just a sub-section of our company website.
I imagine it's got something to do with wp_login_url($redirect) - but I have no idea where to redirect the user to that makes the page dynamically etc.
Its a bit complicated, but I'd appreciate any advice - or even someone simply pointing me in the direction where I can find more info. Thanks!

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals' Eylea™ (aflibercept; VEGF Trap-Eye) injection has been cleared by FDA for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet-AMD). Approval was based on data from two active-control Phase III studies, View 1 and View 2, involving 2,412 patients treated either with one of three dosage regimens of Eylea, or with four weekly injections of Lucentis® (ranibizumab injection). The data confirmed the non-inferiority of Eylea therapy dosed every week, following three initial monthly injections, in terms of maintaining visual acuity over the course of a year.
"Eylea offers the potential of achieving the efficacy we've come to expect from current anti-VEGF agents, but with less frequent injections and no monitoring requirements," comments Jeffrey Heier, M.D., assistant professor of ophthalmology at Tufts School of Medicine, and chair of the steering committee for the View 1 trial. "The approval of Eylea offers a much needed new treatment option for patients with wet AMD."
Eylea is a recombinant fusion protein comprising protions of the human VEGF receptors 1 and 2 extracellular domains, fused to the Fc portion of human IgG1. The drug is being developed by Regeneron in collaboration with Bayer HealthCare, which in June submitted a marketing authorization to the European authorities for approval of the drug in the wet AMD indication. Under terms of the Regeneron and Bayer HealthCare collaboration, Regeneron maintains exclusive rights to Eylea in the U.S., while Bayer HealthCare will market the drug outside of the U.S., and equally share sales profits with Regeneron.

Starwood May Consider Shanghai Listing After China Expansion
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., which opened China's first international-branded hotel 26 years ago, is prepared to consider a listing in the country, where its top executives have been based for the past month.
"If tomorrow, listing here is an easy thing to do, would we consider it? Yes," President and Chief Executive Officer Frits van Paasschen said in an interview in Shanghai yesterday. "I wouldn't rule it out."
Van Paasschen, 50, and his top executives moved the company's headquarters to Shanghai from White Plains, New York between June 8 and July 11 to "better understand" its second-largest market. China may eventually pass the U.S. as a hotel market, he said, where 90 hotels, or 30 percent of Starwood's pipeline of 300 properties, are under construction in cities including Nanhai and Foshan.
Global companies ranging from Coca-Cola Co. to HSBC Holdings Plc have said they're interested in listing in China's stock market, the world's third-biggest by market value. China is "coming closer" to starting a board for the listing of overseas companies in Shanghai, Shang Fulin, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, said on May 20.
"If the likes of Starwood is listed in China, local investors will like the shares," said Larry Wan, Beijing-based head of investment at Union Life, which manages the equivalent of $2.2 billion. "Looking at domestically listed companies, we don't have any big-name company related to consumer brands."
First International Hotel
The company now has more than 70 hotels in China carrying eight of its nine brands that also include Le Meridien and Sheraton. It opened the Great Wall Sheraton Hotel in Beijing in 1985 as the first global operator to enter the market, it said. The new hotels will include all of its nine brands, the first country after the U.S. to offer its full line-up of properties.
Starwood is also entering China's less affluent or so-called second- and third-tier cities, which van Paasschen said offer growth potential. These include the southern Nanhai and Foshan cities and the eastern coastal city of Qingdao.
"In 10 years or 15 years, if GDP is approaching that of the U.S., the hotel market should be as large," said van Paasschen, adding that his one-month stay made him "no less confident about the growth in China than before."
Van Paasschen said he isn't too concerned about potential asset bubbles in the world's second-biggest economy because there is less leverage in China than in other countries and primary demand for real estate remains strong.
India Opportunities
Starwood shares have declined 6.9 percent this year in New York trading, compared with a 4.9 percent gain for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The Shanghai Composite Index has dropped 0.2 percent.
In Asia, Starwood has a "strong presence" in Thailand and has plans for smaller markets including Vietnam and Bangladesh, van Paasschen said. India may also become another key market in Asia in the future, he said.
"Without a doubt China today is the biggest and most rapidly developing market," he said. "That said, India is seven or eight years behind and admittedly on a different trajectory, but there will be a time when India will be of the same magnitude. I am quite confident of that."

Arcos de la Frontera is a historic city in the province of Cádiz in southern Spain. It is located on the Northern, Western and Southern banks of the Guadalete river, which flows around three sides of the city under towering vertical cliffs, to Jerez and on to the Bay of Cadiz. The town commands a fine vista atop a sandstone ridge, from which the peak of San Cristobal and the Guadalete Valley can be seen. The town gained its name by being the frontier of Spain's 13th century battle with the Moors.[1]
There is local evidence that Stone Age cave-dwellers used rocks to form living chambers. Roman ruins also exist in the area.[1]
Arcos became an independent Moorish taifa in 1011 during the protracted collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba. Arcos was associated with the Jerez by 'Abdun ibn Muhammad who ruled from c. 1029/1030 to 1053. The region was overtaken by the Almoravid dynasty in 1091. From 1145 to 1147 the region of Arcos and Jerez was briefly a taifa under dependency of Granada, led by Abu'l-Qasim Ahyal.
The town was a bulwark of Christianity after Alfonso the Wise of Castile (1252–1284) expelled the Moors. He constructed a Gothic cathedral which remains on its high ridge.
It is famed for its ten bells, which tolled throughout the war with the Moors. Several Moorish banners were taken in the nearby battle of Zahara and have been on display in a church in Arcos since 1483.[1]
