Nina Fletcher-My art is about my obsessions. The challenge is to externalize them for all to see and, to that end I look to the human body, especially its interiors, for inspiration. The body is a boundless source of information. Coming from a medical background I am still in awe of its beauty, mystery, and logic. I work in several different media, each bringing a unique twist to the forms that emerge.
Dawn Southworth-Dawn Southworth is recognized for her mixed media works and installations. She has been awarded artist fellowships from the Massachusetts Cultural Council in both painting and drawing and is a recipient of a NEA/NEFA Fellowship in sculpture. Southworth, a passionate collector, has the extraordinary ability to combine a vast range of materials and processes. her use of found objects, drawing, sewing, pyrography, and construction are unified in emotionally charged imagery laden with metaphor and symbol grounded in a strong conceptual base. Dawn also owns Clark Gallery in Lincoln, MA, one of New England's leading art galleries and a member of the Boston Art Dealers Association. Clark Gallery exhibits contemporary art in all media by emerging, mid-career and established artists from the northeast and nationally.
Margaret Rack-Margaret Rack came to making art in childhood and by age twelve she began taking classes with local artists in their studios. When Rack went to college, it was painting she studied seriously, until she encountered welding. Metal gave her the most freedom to run with her ideas, and she became a successful studio artist primarily as a metal sculptor. For about a decade she has been working with metals in a very linear way. Using wire, she has been "drawing". These pieces have tended to combine two and three dimensional aspects, wall works as well as sculpture to walk around. New works have a light delicate quality to them, with layers of twined wire and fine gauge crocheted copper elements. Rack loves quality of line, and some work is very calligraphic; other series are curtain-like. Though the work reads as abstract, inspirations come from nature and the human condition. A 2010 Fulbright Hayes trip to study in Cambodia deeply influenced her ideas for sculpture, in particular a twelve hour leisurely boat ride heading south down the Tonle Sap River passing floating villages between Siem Reap and Battambang. Fragility, strength, provisional construction, playfulness, resourcefulness and resilience took on new meaning and contexts that Rack continues to investigate in her work.
Caroline Bagenal-Caroline Bagenal is a sculptor, installation artist and writer. She is currently an Associate Professor at Montserrat College of Art where she teaches Art History and the Senior Fine Arts Seminar. She is the Director of the African Study Abroad Program. Caroline Bagenal is a member of Boston Sculptors Gallery. In her recent work Caroline Bagenal has created fragile constructions of marsh reeds, newspaper, and books to comment on the temporality of manmade structures. The sculptures made from reeds covered in newsprint refer to both architecure and landscape. They reflect Bagenal's interest in the idea of architecture wthout an architect and draw on her rural childhood with work that refers to enclosures like sheepfolds, animal and fish traps, fences, gates and haystacks.
Elizabeth Billings-Weaving is deeply connected to rhythm and the rhythm informs the work. I was trained by traditional weavers in Vermont and Japan and have focused on extending those traditions. Gathering local materials, everything from pine needles to small saplings, I make work that comes from nature and connects to nature. The work includes small studio pieces and huge public art commissions and speaks quietly to the intuitive experience we all share. Elizabeth Billings graduated from Cranbrook Academy of Art the same year she was included in the Lausanne Biennale. She has continued to develop her studio work and maintained a strong exhibit record. Her work has expanded to large scale public art projects, many in collaboration with Andrea Wasserman, including permanent installations at the Philadelphia International Airport, the Florida College of Medicine the Dana Farbor Institute and City University of New York. In the 1990's, she was part of a team that successfully revived the Shelburne Craft School eventually becoming the executive director. More recently she worked closely with National Park officials to develop and implement an Artist Residency Program at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park that is now seen as a model for national parks across the country. Her work extends the long tradition of textiles and emanates out of the rhythms at the very essence of the process of weaving. At the core of these rhythms is a deep connection to nature. The strength of her work lies in making visible that connection, an essential consciousness in our world today.

Driven Bios
There is no facet of my work that has not been profoundly impacted by my stroke. Our physicality and perception are how we access and negotiate and navigate our environment and surroundings. When this balance is disturbed, the resulting disequilibrium changes everything. One of the things that is most apparent in my art is its sheer abundance. I create in a fever, in a mad torrent of ideas and images. This directly relates to my inability to censor the floodgates of my imagination. Because my stroke has caused me to be obsessive, my art involves working with the same images over and over and over again, I suffer from a syndrome I like to call "obsessive-compulsive-manic-depressive-creative-disorder."
I don't know why I'm driven to make art. I have been since childhood. Perhaps it's an effort to understand, contend with, push back at and counterweigh all the sorrow and fury of life. Maybe it's just for the love of it, or for the love others give to me on account of it. Most likely it's because of all of these reasons – and more. I do know that for me the process of making art is about finding balance and optimal tension; it's the exhilaration that comes with discovering, experiencing and expressing beauty. In this body of work titled, Etudes, the beauty is found, (as always), in the dialogue between light and shadow, in the textures, colors and compositions. Particular to this portfolio the beauty lies in the surfaces of old bottles, broken eggs, a broken egg cup and a faded photograph.
Ken Riaf Start with an empty space. Imagine yourself in it - beings like ourselves, only different. Scale and perspective, politics and prose, words and phrases, artifacts and archetypes, places, memories, colors, symbols. Things that never were, along with some, that someday could be. It's a reclamation project for emptiness. By moving things into these boxes and out of my studio….I get more space -my contribution to the expanding universe. They say "think outside the box". How 'bout, think'n inside the box? They say "think big". How 'bout, keeping things to scale? They say"what's it mean"? How 'bout, why don't you, - tell me?

Ben MacAdam-My interest is to continually discover and describe beauty. Mostly inspired by sound, sight, or touch, my work is created to describe moments of tranquility, movement, and imagination. I wish to ask for, look for, or wait for these things daily. For the work, the pursuit involves an abstract and naturalistic vocabulary within the window of a painted surface. Within the window of life on earth, the pursuit involves the same constructs though it is within the window of body, mind and soul and the landscape from which we came and see around. My hope is to help people recognize that beauty is all around us by painting forms that may or may not be familiar. Whether the landscapes seem the most mundane to call upon or subject matter seems at first far from familiar, I find it worthwhile to put these subjects on a surface to see freshly.
Elizabeth Woodward- A photographer and printmaker located in Beverly Massachusetts, specializing in digital printmaking and pronto plate prints. A graduate of New England School of Photography, she has exhibited across the country, including Seattle, Los Angeles, New York City, and New Mexico, as well as showing locally in the Boston area. This past summer her work was for sale in White Bird Gallery in the Rocky Neck Art Colony and on display at the Cultural Center at Rocky Neck.
Nina Samoiloff-In my work I only create with materials that have already been created, so to speak. I pick up lumber, boat parts, remnants of furniture – all elements of human habitation, on my daily walks, finding man made objects set against the backdrop of the natural world. I collect and manipulate these materials without drastically altering the form in which I find them, allowing that nature has already made alterations through the ravages of wind, sand and the sea. The sculptures I create are still made of wood and metal, but now the force of manmade materials visibly contends with the force of the natural world in every piece. Each sculpture shows signs of both artifice and nature and becomes a sort of uneasy collaboration between the two, serving as a reminder of our tenuous relationship with the world we live in.I combine random pieces of wood and metal into a pattern, constraining the work within the rigorous framework of a square or rectangle, a direct attempt to make order out of disorder.
Jamison Knowlton- I have grown up in the Lanesville area and have always had a strong love for the ocean and the woods. I create one of a kind art pieces and furniture, specializing in driftwood and re-claimed wood.
Nate Longcope-I work with paper and cut-outs to create vibrant landscapes of the subconscious. After graduating from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2000, Nate has spent most of the past ten years working as an art installer in New York City. He has also spent five years of the Museum of Modern Art as an audio video technician, where he worked closely with artists and curators to install and archive major works of art. This last year Nate has moved back to western Massachusetts with his fiancé and is pursuing his craft. Revisiting old haunts and sacred spots where he grew up, Nate has been going over the junkyard of scrap metal that his late father had collected over some 40 years. The sculptural objects on exhibit are the result of this endeavor, piecing together the remains of some long lasting memories.
Ariana Martin-When I am inspired, the landscape is in contrast; colors are vivid, the mood is dramatic and light is amplified. It is in this state that I am compelled to create. These moments are fleeting but productive and reviving. I am channeling something greater than myself and more honest than my own attempt at imitation. My work becomes life interpreted in an emotional sense within a tangible realm. It is every bit of me in a moment. I strive to glorify the tones that speak to me. Art is life's design.
Nika Feldman-As an ethnographic textile artist my interest is in the intersection of needle and thread, hand-work and the relationship between clothing and identity.New-Work-in-Progress:WHAT WE TAKE WITH US AND WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND-In Memory of a Nomadic Identity.This series of work was made while researching and living with a tribal group in India known as the Banjara. Sharing a common language of embroidery, costume and self-adornment, I was welcomed into their community as one of their own. The work exhibited here was inspired by an old saying of theirs which they shared with me; "When we die, all we take with us are our tattoos". Each portrait combines my daily embroidery and sketches with elements of their, soon-to-be-extinct, traditional costume.

Sean Hurley This work is a documentation of the environments – both physical and mental – through which life's path takes me. In the play of light and shadows over crumbling walls, weathered streets, and open skies, I find a poignant visual metaphor for my own internal environments. These prints represent the intersection of these two seemingly separate worlds, united in their exposure to the onslaught of time, and by the unshakable inevitability of change.

This letterbox is placed by Oaky and Ammy!!
This sealed bag of a letterbox is hidden in Sugar Land in Lost Creek Park, where a few other letterboxes are well placed there. This is our first letterbox placed so we owe greatly to Silver Eagle and gramatrick for inspiring us!
Go 59 South, exit Williams Trace Blvd. Turn left under the freeway. Turn left on Lexington Blvd. Turn right on Settlers Way (which is the second stop sign). Turn left on Lost Creek Blvd, in which you should look for after the first stop sign. This road leads you into the park itself. Park the furthest left you can park.
Get yourself on the sidewalk and start walking north, which is going to your left. You will see soccer fields. You will also see a green fence outlining the soccer field on your right. The lamp post you come to (#25), stop, and turn right where you will walk with the green fence on your right and tall bushes on your left. After counting 14 posts on the fence, stop, look to the left and there is a small opening in the bushes. A small tree will stand before you with split trunk. The letterbox is wedged in that split.
At one point, the fence splits, where a section is moved off a bit for an entrance to the soccer field. Don't count the posts from the fence that has been split off. Please let us know the status, enjoy and please keep it hidden!

If I were to guess what I was in my past life, I'd say I was a gypsy. If I were anything else, I think I would have ended up running away to become one. On a serious note, though, I'm in love with freedom and although my life doesn't always mirror it, I still cling to it like it would be the end of me if I let go.
I have a soft spot for people who believe in going for what they want in life, regardless of what others say. It's something I work on every single day of my life.

Create new hack infrastructure
The NewHackMacro creates the infrastructure for a new hack on the TracHacks site.
It creates Subversion paths along with write permissions, adds a new component for the hack, and finally creates a wiki page based on a template wiki page (NewHackTemplate on this installation). The variables in that page are expanded by NewHackMacro.
NewHackMacro is not meant to be used outside TracHacks. Paths are hard-coded into the Macro, it is not cleanly designed, etc. Modification will be required for it to work correctly on a different site.
- The tags hack.
- Pages tagged with type will be displayed as the list of types (eg. macro)
- Pages tagged with release will be displayed as the list of releases (eg. stable?)
- Other tags not tagged with metatag will be displayed in the list of additional tags (eg. user pages will not be displayed, as user is a metatag)
Bugs/Feature Requests
Existing bugs and feature requests for NewHackMacro are here.
If you have any issues, create a new ticket.

IBM Commuter 'Pain Index' Shows Worst Cities for Driving
A new survey on commuting released today by International Business Machines Corp. found that for many people in metropolitan areas around the world, getting to work is more painful endeavor than ever. In some cases, people's negative feelings about driving may have more to do with their emotional states than actual driving conditions.
The IBM study looked at the daily commute in a number of economically important international cities and reveals a surprising pattern. Even though commuting has generally become more bearable during the past year, drivers are complaining a lot more about traffic and the stress and anger it causes.
The annual global Commuter Pain study shows that in some cities more people now are taking public transportation rather than driving, compared with a year ago. In many cities a much higher percentage of respondents said roadway traffic has improved "somewhat" or "substantially" in the past three years.
Still, a growing number of respondents say traffic on the road "has increased their levels of personal stress and anger and negatively affected their performance at work or school," the survey says.
"Commuting doesn't occur in a vacuum," said Naveen Lamba, IBM's global intelligent transportation expert. "A person's emotional response to the daily commute is colored by many factors – pertaining both to traffic congestion as well as to other, unrelated, issues. This year's Global Commuter Pain survey indicates that drivers in cities around the world are much more unsettled and anxious compared with 2010."
IBM compiled the results of the survey into its Commuter Pain Index that ranks the emotional and economic toll of commuting in each city. Higher scores indicate more onerous conditions. The index reveals great disparity in the pain of commuting in some cities compared with others. Montreal had the least painful commute of the cities in the survey, followed by London and Chicago.
The index includes 10 factors: 1) commuting time, 2) time stuck in traffic, agreement that: 3) price of gas is already too high, 4) traffic has gotten worse, 5) start-stop traffic is a problem, 6) driving causes stress, 7) driving causes anger, 8) traffic affects work, 9) traffic is so bad that driving stopped, and 10) decided not to make trip due to traffic.
The cities scored as follows: Mexico City: 108; Shenzhen 95; Beijing 95; Nairobi 88; Johannesburg 83; Bangalore 75; New Delhi 72; Moscow 65; Milan 53; Singapore 44; Buenos Aires 42; Los Angeles 34; Paris 31; Madrid 28; New York City 28; Toronto 27; Stockholm 26; Chicago 25; London 23; and Montreal 21.

Shorts, your chance to cover is now. You've got your pants around your ankles and you know exactly what is coming!
In at 4.0597. This is too easy of a bounce. Oversold and insider buying will make this trade a cakewalk. I understand shorting in the long run but shorting right now for quick profits is just idiotic. Anyone shorting now will have a terrible entry point.
I'd nibble here too but with a tight stop under 4$. Still thinks its a bit premature but maybe worth a 1/4 position.
so let me get this straight: 1. you are assuming you will get another temporary hollow dead cat bounce. and #2. you think that fake bounce will scare us shorts???
any other assumptions you got that we need to know about??
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Yes I would like to assume that if you have taken a short position in the past 2 days and have not decided to cover by the end of today's market close; you should turn away from trading stocks. Don't really know why anyone would be shorting right now on this chart... just pure stupidity.
Which chart are you looking at? No sound trader would enter a position in this now. You may as well go to the casino.
Is that a joke? In no way am I claiming that this stock will run for the long run, but anyone can see that this is due for a nice bounce...insanely oversold, monster insider buying, consolidation, MACD crossing over to positive. Think what you want, but IMO this is the perfect time to get in

SIKESTON -- Scoring double-digit runs was a welcomed occurrence for the Sikeston Lady Bulldogs softball team Wednesday.
Their play on the field seemed loose, but effective, which stemmed from a team meeting they had following their disappointing 9-2 loss to the Jackson Lady Indians a day earlier.
"We had a break-down, lets get it all out in the open, kind of talk yesterday," Senior catcher Sarah Dixon said. "We talked about what was going on and what's wrong with the team. I think we really came together as a team today and this could be a nice building block for us."
Their pow-wow seemed to pay off as they crushed the visiting Fredericktown Lady Blackcats, 13-3 in five innings.
"Our bats were silent yesterday and it seemed like we could never find that groove," Sikeston head coach Tiffany Morgan said about their game with Jackson. "I talked to the girls and told them that once they excel in either offense or defense, the other will come around. That's finally what happened today."
Sikeston (6-7), who featured a rather deep roster to start the season, has been hit with injuries of late which may be one cause to their recent slump.
Their starting shortstop, Annie Ramey has been sidelined as has Kristen Baker, who usually serves as a third baseman or designated hitter.
Baker is more than likely out for the remainder of the year and Ramey will soon find out what her status is for the next few weeks, according to Morgan.
"We need to get a healthy crew," Morgan said. "It seems like injuries have been hampering us. Once we get healthy, I think we'll be right up there with everybody else in our district.
"It would be nice to finally get Annie and Kristen back. We'd love to get them healthy for districts."
Sikeston starter Paige Sailors threw the complete game win allowing five hits and striking out one.
"Paige threw really well today," Dixon said. "She hit her spots and was able to throw her changeup and it was working. She was definitely on today."
Madison Smith led the Lady Bulldogs with three singles while Dixon and Hanna Placek each added two hits as well.
"It was a good thing for us to score a lot of runs today," said Dixon. "We were kind of down yesterday because we didn't hit the ball real well. But today, we adjusted real well, hit the ball and we won as a team."
Fredericktown scored one run in each of the first three innings and lead 3-2 after the top of the third inning.
Sikeston didn't allow that deficit to linger much longer.
The Lady Bulldogs exploded for eight runs in the bottom half of the third. At one time, Sikeston strung together five-straight hits, which all eventually came around to score.
"Hits are contagious," Morgan said. "I feel like we finally came together as a team during this game."
The Lady Bulldogs added three more runs in the top of the fourth to put the game away and give them the 10-run mercy rule victory.
"I told the girls that it's time to start being steady on things," said Morgan. "Sometimes we'll play well and other times we won't. Districts are just around the corner."
For their next game, Sikeston will travel to Oran today at 4 p.m.

The fact that astral bodies influence the human body in several ways has been known to man since ancient times. The best example is that of the moon phases, which are known to affect the mental state of lunatics. While most scientists do not believe that astrology is scientific, there are many who do agree that there is some logic in this study of the planetary influences on a person's life. In fact, they believe that everything is predestined right from the cradle to the grave and every celestial movement causes a person to behave in the way he or she does and take decisions, the consequences of which are already preordained. Health is an important aspect of an individual's life; then how can it be spared by the stars.

You can apply any of the seven Passive House principles to improve your home's performance without going all the way; just make sure to ventilate.
1. Superinsulate. Depending on the climate, Passive Houses might have a foot or two of insulation in the roof, walls and floor (homes often have just a few inches of insulation in these areas).
2. Eliminate thermal bridges. Careful detailing prevents heat from moving through edges, corners, connections and penetrations in the envelope.
3. Make it airtight. The entire building envelope must be airtight to avoid heat transfer and minimize drafts.
4. Use energy- or heat-recovery ventilation. Ventilation equipment provides fresh air and circulation with minimal energy waste.
5. Use high-performance windows and doors. Windows and doors that greatly reduce heat flow virtually eliminate cold winter drafts and cut way back on summer heat gain.
6. Optimize heat gains. A Passive House consultant can predict and balance heat from the sun and internal sources (cooking, lighting, etc.) and prescribe appropriate orientation and window placement for maximum comfort with minimal energy use.
7. Model energy gains and losses. The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) is a complex energy-modeling tool trained consultants use to assess various combinations of insulation, windows, wall types, airtightness, ventilation systems and other components to create an optimal system for a given climate and budget.

POSTED February 6, 2014
On November 15th at 1pm, at Northwestern High School (6900 Park Heights Ave) the BPD will challenge members of the community to a friendly game of flag football.
The event, which was organized by Shomrim, an all volunteer public safety organization serving northwest Baltimore, came up with the idea to raise awareness and funds for the BPD mounted unit. Shomrim has been working closely with Mayor Dixon and the Police Commissioner's Office to raise $150,000 to keep the much needed unit in operation.
For more information on this event, contact BPD Public Affairs at 410-396-2012 and to make a donation through the Baltimore Community Foundation, click here: http://www.bcf.org/police

Forever Changed
Life On The Other Side Of Loss
A journalist questioned me once whether perhaps I thought about death a little too often. And I must say it's understandable how her perspective became so. Because central to much of my writing, and thus the book she was interviewing me on, is the common theme of just how precious and precarious our days truly are. The proverbial "straw" for the reporter, prompting her impromptu rhetorical question, was my declaration of the song I wanted to be able to be played at my funeral… "My Way" by Frank Sinatra.
There was a time I likely would have had a similar impression about someone who freely wrote and spoke about that most unsettling of topics… There was a time…
I've come to the realization that there are three types of people in this world… First, there's the relatively small group of unfortunate and disconnected souls who'll live out their respective days, never experiencing the feeling of truly loving or having been loved. Second, there's the group who, based on life experiences, have come to only too intimately comprehend the heart-wrenching agony and pain so aptly referred to as heartache - those who know what it is to helplessly endure the debilitating grief and sorrow of a loved one's life unceremoniously extinguished, merely at Death's whim. And finally, there's the group of fortunate souls (still shielded by the wondrous bliss of ignorance) - who've yet to have that inevitable life-altering, devastating event that will cause them to, without a doubt, truly comprehend.
I sort of remember that state of bliss. But then again, I too sort of remember the feel of my Mom hugging me. Suffice it to say, no more wondrous bliss for me…
It would take years for me to recover… for me to finally regain my constitutional and spiritual footing - and to begin to again look forward to the possibilities of each new day. And by the time I eventually managed to find myself, the me I found was simply not the same. I'd only been able to helplessly cry and pray in the mere seconds it took for the earthly presence I'd always known as my loving mother to be rendered essentially a lifeless shell. And no matter what happened from then, or how much time should pass, for good or bad, the me that managed to survive couldn't possibly ever be the same.
However, bliss-less as the new me was destined to be, there is positive insight to be found in this most personal of cautionary tales. You see, beyond all of the disillusionment, despair, disdain, regret, apathy, dejection, anger, sorrow and heartache, some perspective altering fundamental truths would eventually come to light;
As a result, for as much as it is foretold that innocence was traded for wisdom in the Garden of Eden, so too for me would a carefree, almost utopian view of life never again be known. Now, that's not to say that I had no problems to speak of before my mother's passing… To that point however, my perspective was pretty consistent with a quote I've seen along the way that suggests the following - 'Rule #1: Don't sweat the small stuff. Rule #2: All stuff is small.' Thus, my attitude was with enough positive attitude, thought and perseverance virtually anything was surmountable.
Now, firsthand I know that Rule #2 was, and continues to be, flawed. Because, you see, the people we love the most can, and will, be taken away one day - and in some cases without as much as a warning. And cry and pray as you and I might, the simple truth is, when the situation is most dire, there will be virtually nothing we directly can do. And believe me when I tell you there is absolutely nothing small and not to sweat about that!
What I now know is that the time we have is un-promised - and therefore it's key we remember it's both extremely precious and fleeting. Every minute spent is yet another minute gone forever. Which makes how we choose to spend that time, who we choose to spend it with and what we choose to do in that time incredibly relevant… And appreciating that time, appreciating the loved ones we spend it with and sharing with them the fact that we do - too becomes critically important. Especially once you realize that, at any time, that amazing privilege can be abruptly taken away. It is a truth all too familiar to that second group. A reality that became mine as I helplessly witnessed the life dissipate from my mother's soon to be lifeless body… A reality I have owned and carried with me every since…
It is that reality that both inspires and motivates me to take pen to paper. It is that reality that has evolved into my life's purpose - driving me to challenge those who would be inspired to;
So, if you, much like the reporter mentioned earlier, happen to be part of the third group, having thus far been fortunate enough not to appreciate why heartache is so named… Know that for the time being, you remain blissfully blessed. Enjoy that wondrous feeling, your time and the loved ones you are fortunate enough to spend it with for everything they're worth - remembering to be thankful and appreciative every waking moment.
If you instead like myself, having forfeited innocence, you find yourself a permanent fixture in the second group… Know that you were blessed to have that loved one in your life for the time they were - and that no time, even what you were blessed with, was ever really promised. Know that it is faith that can, and will, pull you through. Know that your loved one would not only want you to cherish their memory - but also to cherish your life… acquiring true happiness and fulfillment wherever it is to be found. Cherish also your remaining time and the remaining loved ones you're fortunate enough to spend it with for everything they're worth - remembering to be thankful and appreciative every waking moment.
And finally, if you happen to be a member of the first group mentioned, stop it - today! One thing is for certain, that is absolutely no way to spend your otherwise amazingly blessed and precious fleeting days.
When it's all said and done, I have to believe my Mom continues to look down on me and, for the positive things I do - beam with pride. And because you've taken the time today… to read this and be impacted… I'm sure my Mom's pride continues to grow. And for that additional solace and inspiration, I am eternally grateful.
I now know that from the deepest of sorrows and the darkest of nights the greatest hope, purpose and fulfillment can grow. And because of that, I know that I am forever changed.
"And now… the end is near
I've lived a life that's full
Regrets, I've had a few
I planned each charted course
To think… I did all that

ALAMEDA -- What could have shaped up as a battle between two of the NFL's most gifted athletes is instead a cautionary tale on the perils of being a quarterback that runs the ball.
Terrelle Pryor may not start for the Raiders on Sunday against the Washington Redskins at O.co Coliseum after practicing in a limited fashion while recovering from a concussion.
Robert Griffin III will start for Washington, but it's an open debate as to whether he's the same guy who was putting together one of the best rookie seasons for a quarterback in NFL history before suffering a knee injury.
Pryor was mostly a spectator during the media window Thursday. He didn't put on a helmet until the closed session began, where coach Dennis Allen said Pryor got some snaps.
"I don't want to speculate on where we're at," Allen said. "I've got to see when he gets cleared for contact and when he's fully able to participate in practice."
With little more than a walk-through on Saturday, it would seem the chances of Pryor starting without getting in close to a full session Friday are slim.
There are no such doubts regarding Griffin, who won the NFL Rookie of the Year award by completing 65.9 percent of his passes for 3,200 yards, 20 touchdowns and having a passer rating of 102.4. He also ran for 815 yards, a league record for a rookie quarterback.
Following reconstructive knee surgery, Griffin is throwing more and running less, although some of that has to do with the Redskins playing from behind in an 0-3 start.
Griffin looked a little more like his old self in a 27-20 loss to the Detroit Lions, running six times for 37 yards and completing 32 of 50 passes for 326 yards.
"He's not fully healthy, obviously," teammate and wide receiver Pierre Garcon told the Washington Post. "He's running a little bit more, but last year's RGIII was a lot different than this year's RG because of his knee. It's not surprising."
Griffin is uninterested in discussing the state of his health or analyzing anything other than how to get better.
"Whether you're a mobile quarterback or a quarterback that sits in the pocket, there are going to be games where things don't go your way and there are going to be times when people criticize you," Griffin told Bay Area reporters via a conference call. "You just can't look at that stuff."
Allen said the Redskins don't look a lot different offensively than they did a year ago when they captured the NFL East title.
"I haven't seen a ton of difference in what they're doing offensively," Allen said. "He's still a very talented player."
Free safety Charles Woodson, on a conference call with Washington writers, said, "I don't think there's as much setting up the pass with that read option in the run game as there has been."
Griffin said the read option is still a part of the Redskins offense and that the lack of running has more to do with how the defense is playing it.
"They've been playing it different ways, but it's still available to us and the one thing, you have to be able to adjust on the fly," Griffin said.
Griffin's health and the amount of running he does are of paramount importance for the Redskins. He's been urged to slide more often, and joked this week he'd look up Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper for some pointers.
It's the same dilemma the Raiders have with Pryor -- wanting their best athlete to use all his skills while at the same time playing it safe when necessary to remain on the field.
The conflict is evident when Griffin was asked about avoiding big hits and during the course of his answer said, "You have to go out and play with no fear" and later said "the highlight reel hits that can happen when you try to escape the pocket, I try to limit those."
Both Allen and defensive coordinator Jason Tarver believe playing against Pryor throughout training camp will help the Raiders deal with Griffin.
"They have similar ability in terms of getting outside the pocket to extend plays and throw on the run," linebacker Nick Roach said. "It's definitely to our advantage in training camp we were able to see that."

WASHINGTON (March 17, 2013)—Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, said Sunday the party will spend $10 million this year to send hundreds of paid staffers into communities to talk with Hispanic, black and Asian voters.
Priebus said the party would send employees from coast to coast to build the party's credibility in racial and ethnic communities that supported President Barack Obama over GOP nominee Mitt Romney last year.
He said says the party cannot "parachute" into communities in the months before an election and expect to have clout.
Priebus is scheduled to outline his plan for the party on Monday.
He told tells CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday that part of that plan will be a nominating convention in June or July instead of August and fewer debates during the primaries.

Deals of the Day: Kinder Morgan Consolidates, Wine Bidding War
Deals of the Day is your one-stop-shop for the morning's biggest news from the finance beat, including M&A, IPOs, banks, hedge funds and private equity. Here's what's happening today:
Mergers & Acquisitions
Kinder Morgan consolidates. Kinder Morgan Inc. is consolidating its vast oil-and-gas pipeline empire into a single company in a $44 billion deal amid investor worries about the enterprises' growth prospects. The reorganized company will abandon the financial structure it helped popularize in the late 1990s: the master limited partnership. [WSJ]
Rival offer. U.S. buyout firm TPG has sidled up to the bar with a preliminary bid for Treasury Wine Estates that matches an earlier 3.38 billion Australian dollar (US$3.14 billion) offer from and Rhone Group. Investors sent Treasury's shares up nearly 4%, hoping the competitive tension leads to a sweeter proposal. [WSJ]
Shale castoff. Blackstone Group is nearing a deal to acquire Royal Dutch Shell PLC's half-stake in a huge Louisiana gas field, according to people familiar with the matter, as private-equity firms continue to gobble up oil companies' shale castoffs. The deal could value Shell's stake in the asset at more than $1 billion. [WSJ]
Against the grain. Australia's BC Iron agreed to buy Iron Ore Holdings in a cash-and-shares deal valued at 251 million Australian dollars (US$233 million), betting that fears of a widening supply glut of iron ore and a prolonged drop in commodity prices are overblown. [WSJ]
Shrinking ambition. Royal Bank of Scotland confirmed it was considering selling the international arm of its private bank, a deal one source said could net it as much as $1 billion, as the British government leans on it to focus more on domestic lending. [Reuters]
Rejected. British infrastructure company Balfour Beatty has rejected a second merger proposal from rival Carillion , saying it would pose significant risks to its business. [Reuters]
Bulking Up. The hot deal-making environment may prompt corporate chiefs to think less about keeping their companies in shape and more about ways to keep them out of predators' hands. [WSJ]
Print is out. Print has become too much of a drag on earnings, so media companies are dividing back up and print is being kicked to the curb. [NYT]
Chinese reinsurance. China Reinsurance (Group) Corp., the country's biggest reinsurer, is planning a Hong Kong initial public offering of up to about $2 billion in the first half of next year, the latest evidence of Beijing's efforts to reform its state-owned financial firms. [WSJ]
Moelis eyes Australia. Boutique investment bank Moelis & Co. plans to launch an Australian initial public offering of a company that will give local investors access to global equities via partnerships with U.S. fund managers. [WSJ]
All that glitters. Hedge funds are digging gold. [WSJ]
Rethinking risk. Calpers is considering a dramatic retreat from some riskier investments, as it tries to simplify its $295 billion in holdings and better protect against losses during the next market downturn. [WSJ]

Hazy, teenager-centric community portraits have become something of an indie sub-genre in recent years; Chris Fuller's "Loren Cass" (2006) and Matthew Porterfield's "Putty Hill" (2010) both come to mind as prominent examples. These films are typically anti-dramatic, populated by unaffected non-professional actors, and set in the least scenic parts of rural and suburban America. They display a strong sense of form and structure (especially true of "Putty Hill"), yet almost never come across as self-consciously arty. Their tone is unsensantional, unsentimental, and nonjudgemental. More often than not, they lack a central protagonist.
Tim Sutton's debut feature "Pavilion" is arguably the most abstract film to emerge from this trend. It has no interest in the adult world and no political edge. It does not grapple with a larger theme. It articulates no big idea. In essence, the movie is a mood piece about teenage bodies in motion: riding BMX bikes, skateboarding, swimming, ambling through woods, pushing shopping carts and laundry trolleys. It's about color and light, drift-like movement, a sense of isolation — and little else. If you're already on the movie's wavelength, it can be entrancing. If not, "Pavilion" may come off as flat and aimless.
"Pavilion" has only a thin sliver of plot — something about a 15-year old boy (Max Schaffner) who moves away from his mother's house in upstate New York to live with his father in Arizona. This premise has the makings of a realist drama, but writer/director Tim Sutton deliberately avoids anything resembling dramatic tension or characterization. The non-professionals in the cast function not as characters but as bodies within the frame; the set-up is a change of scenery — from the verdant Northeast to the arid Southwest — and not much more.
The movie opens with three boys setting off fireworks in a clearing. The scene is composed in wobbly pans; the depth-of-field is so shallow that only the brims of the boys' caps are in focus. After about a minute, the movie cuts to a girl playing with a sparkler; she appears to be alone. The sparkler illuminates her face in the indigo-colored dark.
This opening sequence is both a statement of purpose and a litmus test. Sutton's images are evocative but largely devoid of context or subtext; his use of extremely shallow focus is almost a metaphor for the film itself, which hones in on small details while leaving everything else blurry.
The movie doesn't offer much insight beyond the notion that teenagers exist in a world apart from adults — a notion that's hardly new. Taken as a whole, "Pavilion" resembles a themed photospread; every scene articulates a variation on the same idea. There's a certain irony in the fact that a movie characterized by its loose sense of perspective and by the constant movement of its characters — hiking, biking, walking — never really goes beyond its opening sequence.
And yet many of "Pavilion"'s images are vivid enough to qualify as poetry: dapples of sunlight moving across skin, a sunset rippling across the surface of a lake, a boy idly playing with his 3D glasses during a movie. Working with cinematographer Chris Dapkins, Sutton manages to craft some truly striking moments — not the least of which are the numerous biking sequences, where camera and subject move to the soft click-click-clicking of the bike chains. "Pavilion" is an odd thing: a movie that manages to be immersive without being about much of anything.

The sweet-tart flavors of pineapple go well with the salty-rich flavors of ham, which is why they are so often put together. So, why fix it if it ain't broke? We've used a modest amount of good smoked ham, just enough to broadcast its flavor without overwhelming the dish.
Makes 4 servings
2 cups chicken broth, homemade or canned
1 cup water
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup lentils
½ cup aromatic rice, such as basmati, jasmine, or Texmati
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice

Swirling ghagras, twinkling payals, riotous chunnis, cascading jhumkas, the tinkle of bangles. It's here again; the time of the year to dance in ecstasy to the traditional beats of Raas, Garba and Dandiya with loved ones.
A short workshop will teach basic hand and feet coordination to get you on the dance floor, moving to live Music by Bay Area's popular bands and local singers exhibiting their talent through devotional and Bollywood songs. Learn new techniques and moves to show off to your friends. Make sure to deck yourself up with vibrant chaniya cholis, and matching acouterments to boot. Head first to the numerous Indian boutique stores dotting the bay area from Berkeley to Saratoga, and San Franciso to the East Bay this Navratri season.
This popular Indian festival is celebrated throughout India, and among Indian communities around the world including the United Kingdom, Canada and United States. Navaratri is usually in late September/early October each year with the dates determined by the lunar calendar. It is a nine-night festival that ends with Dussehra, on the tenth day, marking celebrations of the victory of good over evil.
Navaratri represents the celebration of Goddess Durga, the manifestation of Deity in the form of Shakti (Power). During the first three days of the festival, the deity is worshipped as a spiritual force called Durga or Kali in order to destroy all impurities. The Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, is worshipped the following three days, while the Goddess of Wisdom, Saraswati is worshipped on the last three days of Navaratri.
This colorful and highly energetic event is being hosted at multiple locations in the Bay Area by various non-profit organizations with a view to bring the community together in celebration, and to raise awareness and funds for the underprivileged in India. Tickets range from $10 and up with offerings of free dandia sticks, dance lessons, and free/discounted entry for kids. Adding to the glamour are fashion shows, jewelry sales, mehendi and makeup, kids contests and food booths. Events are being held at the following dates and locations:
