MADRID — Rayo Vallecano have made a mockery of their financial woes and played some of the best football in La Liga this season, to climb to sixth place, and they can test their progress when they take on wealthy city rivals Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on Sunday.
A deserved 2-1 win at home to second-placed Atletico Madrid last weekend prompted talk of a realistic chance of a place in Europe next term and enhanced Rayo's reputation as one of Spain's "giant killers".
The modest club, who are in administration and whose 15,000-seater stadium has only three stands, with one end used for advertising, are transformed from the side that were mired in the third tier of Spanish football in 2004-08.
They narrowly avoided relegation last season after coming up from the second division but, under the guidance of coach Paco Jemez and fired by the goals of captain Medina Piti and fellow forward Leo Baptistao, they have become a genuine force, with wins at Valencia, Athletic Bilbao and Malaga.
"We are now in a situation where we only have to look forward," Jemez told a news conference this week. "We are not going to be satisfied with what we have done and we want to continue making history," he said. "We have to enjoy everything we are doing."
They face a monumental task at champions Real, who are undefeated at the Bernabeu in all competitions this season but have suffered erratic form away from home and are four points behind Atletico and 16 behind leaders Barcelona.
Jemez said Rayo would not be changing their free-flowing playing style, which has drawn comparisons with Barca, and would be going out to enjoy themselves on Sunday.
"We don't need to be scared in any way, we just have to show what we have been showing up to now," he said.
"We are going to go there without any kind of complex with a lot of desire to enjoy ourselves and play a good match."
Barca have had a restful week with their Champions League last 16 first leg at Serie A side AC Milan not until next Wednesday and can go 15 points clear of Atletico with a win at 14th-placed Granada tomorrow. Forward David Villa is unavailable after failing to recover from kidney stones, the club said yesterday.
Atletico have won all 12 home matches this term but were beaten in their past two away fixtures and play at mid-table Real Valladolid on Sunday.
Real's 1-1 home draw against Manchester United on Wednesday leaves their Champions League last 16 tie finely balanced and the second leg on March 5 will come at the end of a week that could make or break the La Liga club's season.
Jose Mourinho's side have virtually given up hope of defending their league title after an erratic campaign, leaving their quest for a 10th European crown that has eluded them since 2002 as the overwhelming priority. They are still alive in the King's Cup and play at Barcelona in the second leg of their semifinal on February 26 with their rivals also tied at 1-1 after last month's first leg in Madrid.
Four days later, they host Barca at the Bernabeu, this time in the league, and then have only three days before they take on United with a place in the quarterfinals of Europe's elite club competition at stake.
There has been widespread speculation that Mourinho will move on at the end of the season whether Real win the Champions League or not, but elimination at the hands of United and his old rival Alex Ferguson as well as a Cup reverse to Barca could hasten the Portuguese's exit.
"I am not feeling any pressure," Mourinho said at a news conference after Wednesday's showdown at the Bernabeu.
"I do serious work, I give my all and I go home satisfied with what I have done and with my head held high."

Imagine an eatery that offers homemade mayonnaise and mustard. It buys all of its bread from a local bakery and uses regional produce.
Welcome to Rusty Torpedo. You wouldn't expect such a hip concept to be hidden along a rural country lane. But it is.
Rusty Torpedo is a simple deli across Ryland Pike from Central School. A whimsical painted fish over the door and on a sign outside is a hint that this isn't an everyday sandwich shop. Inside, you may find just one person taking orders, making sandwiches, running the cash register and cleaning tables.
That's Karla Little. She's the owner. Her friend Monique comes in two days a week to work, but in general, Little does everything.
So when customers ask about that tangy-sweet taste of the turkey sandwich, she can explain. In fact, she can tell you the exact ingredients. She created it.
The menu board overhead at Rusty Torpedo is written in light-hearted hand, items with catchy names: Tom the Turkey, Clubbin' Caveman and Nutty Nanny, to name a few. Customers order, pick their own bottled drinks and chips, then find a seat. There's room for 30 at tables and booths.
The chicken salad is made with fruits and nuts, and the tuna - called a Mermaid salad - is also good. The owner makes both from her own recipe, as well as the pimiento cheese. Also homemade are such dressings as mayonnaise, spicy mayonnaise, mustard, spicy mustard, sweet-and-sour mustard, Thai and chipotle sauces. Each sandwich has a distinctive flavor, especially served on the various Fred Bread flavors: wheat, white, jalapeno-cheddar or pineapple, for example. Fred Bread is a growing phenomenon from a Huntsville baker named Jeff Holloway.
The Green Monster is a veggie wrap dressed with any number of sauces; Pedro is a spicy chicken quesadilla. A new addition to the menu is the Sweet Gobblin' Porker - turkey and bacon with a sweet-and-sour mustard. The wrap costs $3.29, and the Porker, $5.49. Other selections range from the Nutty Nanny peanut butter sandwich for $4.99 to a chicken quesadilla for $5.49. The owner asks if customers want their sandwich "torpedoed," which means toasted adding lettuce, tomato, onion, bell pepper, banana peppers, jalapeno and sauce.
Works by four artists decorate the walls, and they are for sale. Candy on the counter is homemade - Chocolate by Monique. Boxes next to the entrance are for recycling cans and plastics. Rusty Torpedo just has a feel-good ambiance.

Your Possible Pasts (Waters)
They flutter behind you your possible pasts,
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.
A warning to anyone still in command
[Cattle truck noises]
"Ranks! Fire!"
Of their possible future, to take care.
In derelict sidings the poppies entwine
With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time.
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?
She stood in the doorway, the ghost of a smile
Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign.
Her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs.
Stepping up boldly one put out his hand.
He said, "I was just a child then, now I'm only a man."
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?
By the cold and religious we were taken in hand
Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad.
Tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
Now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay.
And strung out behind us the banners and flags
Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags.
Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?

Tony Romo's Ribs Bruised; Not Broken
IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo suffered bruised ribs in Sunday's 36-31 win against the New York Giants but should not miss any practice time, according to sources.
X-rays showed Romo did not suffer any breaks resulting from hits by Giants defensive linemen Justin Trattou and Mathias Kiwanuka late in the second quarter. After the game, Romo said he would be fine and ready to play at Kansas City in Week 2.
"I've been told that they're negative, which is a positive, meaning not broken, so that's a good thing," coach Jason Garrett said of Romo's X-rays.

I'm a 20 something myself and I hear ya on the stress, anxiety food issues as well as disordered eating. It takes time and trust to change those habits, and don't worry- it will happen when you want it and your ready!
Seems like a mix of mind of matter and perhaps the texture/appearance of animal products prepared alone.
Fortunately to start getting on track to a healthy primal level theres no mandate or need to be eating lard , hunks of beef, or even bacon etc etc.. I stick to eating a lot of primal veggies, sauted with olive oil and a little butter to keep some good fats. Fruits, nuts, fish, leaner cuts of meats.

WIPO IGC Continues Negotiations on Intellectual Property and Traditional Knowledge
24 April 2012: The 21st session of the Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore (IGC) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) advanced in its negotiations on an international instrument/instruments, focusing on draft articles on the protection of traditional knowledge.
The IGC session took place from 16-20 April 2012, in Geneva, Switzerland. Although several issues remain controversial, particularly on the definition of traditional knowledge and mandatory disclosure requirements, delegates made progress in identifying areas of convergence. Following an initial plenary discussion, three facilitators were appointed to revise the text: Nicola Lesieur (Canada), Andrea Bonnet López (Colombia) and Walid Taha (Egypt). Their revised text was then submitted to the plenary for comments and textual amendments. The facilitators then produced a second revised text, which was discussed and noted by the plenary. This document will be transmitted to the WIPO General Assembly in October 2012. In accordance with the IGC's mandate, the WIPO General Assembly will take stock of and consider the text and progress made, and decide on convening a Diplomatic Conference.
The text identifies areas of convergence and issues on which further clarification and discussion are needed. Issues of particular focus during the session included the definition of traditional knowledge and the scope of protection, and identification of the beneficiaries of protection, and exceptions and limitations. The meeting also discussed objectives and general guiding principles for the protection of traditional knowledge, as contained in the text.

Office of the Superintendent
Schools of Promise Initiative Partners with Communities to Push for ImprovementMonday, May 3, 2010, 10:50 am
Montana Superintendent Denise Juneau announced that as part of her office's Schools of Promise initiative, which seeks to create innovative collaborations to strengthen the state's most struggling schools, Montana is eligible for $10.4 million in School Improvement Grants (SIG). The grants will help to turn around some of the state's most persistently low achieving schools.
Juneau's initiative will create a new partnership with the five school systems that are eligible Montana for the grant funding: Hays Lodge Pole, Frazer, Pryor, Lodge Grass and Lame Deer. The partnership will call for more teacher involvement, more time with students, revamped teacher evaluations, and more community involvement. The funds are part of the $3.5 billion that are available to states from money set aside in the 2009 budget and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
"We all believe that every child growing up in Montana deserves a quality education and the very best opportunities to succeed academically that we can provide," said Juneau. "We know that not every child in our state is getting that opportunity and we know that, with communities' support, we can do better."
As a part of this partnership, Juneau and her staff have been travelling across the state, meeting with the eligible schools to inform them of this new partnership opportunity. These meetings have included conversations with local teachers, school administrators, and school board trustees as well as union leaders, community members and tribal leaders to get their input and to increase their involvement in helping local schools succeed.
"We're proud of the communities who are coming together in an unprecedented level of partnership to take advantage of this unique opportunity to overcome great challenges and improve education," said Juneau."This is an opportunity for all of us to work together – parents and students, principals and teachers, business leaders and elected officials – to make sure we're creating schools of promise in our communities."
Juneau explained that while some money will go directly to schools, the funding isn't set up to "throw money at the problem." Instead, this funding will allow the Office of Public Instruction to provide direct services to schools that don't have the local capacity to provide the higher level of services needed for significant academic growth.
"This partnership will create schools where students feel safe and have high expectations, parents are proud to send their children, and all the adults in the system are pushing for increased achievement and shared success."

Comptroller Pays Anthony Graves $1.4 Million
Anthony Graves got a check for $1.45 million today from Texas Comptroller Susan Combs, money the state owed him for keeping him behind bars nearly two decades for a crime he did not commit. In addition to today's payment, Graves will receive monthly annuity checks starting next year.
Graves was convicted in 1994 of murder based largely on the testimony of Robert Carter, who later recanted his story and said Graves was innocent. He was freed in October when a Burleson County special prosecutor dropped the charges against Graves for lack of evidence.

Move over, New England Patriots. Red Wings GM Ken Holland told the Detroit Free Press's George Sipple that his organizational philosophies come in no small part from watching the Kamloops Blazers dominate the WHL throughout the latter half of the 80's and early 90's, withstanding multiple personnel losses thanks to rock-solid player development:
July 26, Detroit Free Press: "They were the model," Holland said. "They were the model franchise in junior hockey. They scouted, they drafted, they moved in veteran players, they had people waiting in the wings. They had a machine. The rink sold out every night. Jarome Iginla came through there. Darryl Sydor, Scott Niedermayer and other NHL players. There was this wave of people."
But eventually the Blazers started to lose key people and things began to erode. The program hasn't been able to get back to the level of success it once enjoyed.
Holland is driven to make sure things don't erode in Detroit during his watch. The Wings have defied the odds in remaining successful since the NHL went to a salary cap after the 2004-05 lockout, winning at least 50 games in four straight seasons. The Wings won their fourth Cup in 11 years in 2008 and lost in seven games in the Cup finals to the Penguins this past season.
"We've got a special thing going," Holland said.
With Holland's mind drifting toward the Wings' annual prospect tournament and training camp in Traverse City, he frames his suggestion that every person involved with the organization is committed to playing their part:
"Like Pete Correia, the guy who runs the Traverse City training camp," Holland said. "People can't believe we go up there and we've got vehicles and the players get this and get that.
"We travel in style. We've got the best owners in the league. We've got a tremendous fan base, and if we give them a reason, to the extent that they can, they're going to come to the building. We're going to keep it going as long as we can."

The August 2013 issue of THE RING Magazine features cover boy Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
A few short years ago, THE RING junior middleweight champ was a prospect with many of the qualities you look for in a marketable fighter. Today, after drawing nearly 40,000 fans to the Alamodome for his fight against Austin Trout, the red-headed Mexican is a blossoming star.
The decision to put him on the cover came before the announcement that he would face pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Sept. 14. The excitement surrounding that event underscores his popularity.
Regular contributor Bart Barry takes a look at the phenomenon in his story titled Red Dawn. Don Chargin, a Hall of Famer who has played many roles in boxing for more than a half century, gives you a hint as to how Alvarez ended up where he is.
"I've seen it with some fighters," Chargin said, "but never like it is with Canelo. I think you go back to that 'it.'"
As part of the cover package, Bernard Fernandez writes in Different Paths to Riches that it doesn't necessarily take an extensive amateur background to succeed in the pro ranks. Alvarez, who had few amateur fights, is proof of that.
Also in the August issue, Norm Frauenheim writes in No Limits that featherweight titleholder Abner Mares – hardened by adversity and experience — has exceeded the expectations many had for him.
In Grand Illusionist, Ron Borges looks back on Mayweather's dominating victory over Robert Guerrero in May. Mayweather, with his father back in his corner, was the defensive wizard of old but some fans were left unfulfilled.
In The Mayweather Lottery, Don Stradley explores possible future opponents for Mayweather. Can you guess who they are?
THE RING Editor Michael Rosenthal writes in 'One Helluva Fight' that the battle between icon Manny Pacquiao and slugger Brandon Rios on Nov. 23 isn't the biggest matchup in the world but it certainly will be a lot of fun to watch.
In The Stuff of Legend, Stradley tries to sort out the intriguing rivalry between monumental boxing figures Sam Langford and Jack Johnson.
Thomas Hauser writes in Common-sense Scoring that judges should deviate from common practice – which calls for 10-9 rounds even when neither fighter stands out – by scoring close rounds even.
In For the Love of Boxing, British correspondent Gareth A Davies introduces us to Miranda Carter, a civil servant who decided one day that she wanted to be a boxing promoter and then became one.
In Letters from Europe, Davies takes a look at little Jamie McDonnell, Britain's latest world titleholder.
And, in The Best I've Faced, heavyweight great Larry Holmes revealed his best opponents in 10 key categories.

At 40 years of age, Jose Mesa is by no means a spring chicken. But even at that age, he's proven that he can be an effective pitcher, and with that in mind, the Tigers will ink the righty to a one year deal worth approximately $2.5 million.
Mesa, who has more than 300 saves in his career, will likely move into a middle relief role for the Tigers, joining Joel Zumaya and Fernando Rodney as setup men to closer Todd Jones.
The signing comes as a bit of a surprise to many, as it was assumed that if the Tigers were going to add a reliever, it would be a left-hander, after Jamie Walker left the club for greener pastures earlier in the offseason, receiving a 3-year deal from Baltimore.
It is entirely possible that the Tigers elected to add another quality reliever to the club, rather than reaching for a left-hander that may or may not be serviceable.
Mesa's batting average against was virtually identical last season against both right-handed hitters and left-handed hitters, with a .270 average against for lefties, and a .271 average against for righties.
While nothing is imminent, this could also be a signal that the Tigers are working on a larger deal that would involve at least one key member of the bullpen, and the Tigers wanted to jump at the chance to add a pitcher like Mesa in the even that the bullpen thins out because of a trade.
The Tigers could still look for a left-hander to work out of the bullpen, but they acquired Edward Campusano through the Rule 5 draft with the hope that he could possibly fill that role. In addition, both setup men had an average against under .200 against lefties, so they clearly did not struggle in getting guys hitting from the left side of the plate out.
In addition to his 320 career saves, Mesa has a career ERA of 4.27 that he's put together over 18 seasons with seven different teams. Mesa was named the Rolaids Reliever of the Year in 1995, when he saved 46 games for Cleveland while posting a miniscule 1.13 ERA.

iPhones outlast Android phones two to three times when it comes to running the latest version of the OS

When you buy a new phone you probably run through all the reviews, the specs, the camera and so on, but rarely does a person consider just how long that device will actually…

Ios updates are hardly an "update" (i.e. the worst Android phones can offer far more than what IPhones will ever offer).

Quality, user satisfaction, support, things that the worst android will never have...

not all the app runs on the latest version of android unlike IOS. There are more app that are compatible with older version of android unless ios, where outdated version of IOS would have so much lesser apps

Run the new featurea list of the iPhone 4 running iOS 7 and you'll quickly realize how this whole article is not true.

I've been using Android since the G1 and lately, updates aren't as much of a focus as they were back in the day. Android has achieved a level where it does more than what I need it to do, and does what I need very well so I'm content with that. What I look for now is better phones, not what version of Android it runs. Android runs fine for me and I don't have problems with apps, what new phones are coming out and how well built they are is what I gravitate towards the most, and the OEMs are more than stepping up in that manner.

While apple are prompt at releasing updates, a lot of the older phones don't get full support. For example the iPhone 4 did not get siri and turn by turn navigation! The 4s does not get airdrop etc. The difference is when android devices get updates they get the full thing!

Its a valid point but android has got more complex over the years...ios well..pretty much stayed the same.

They all just need something to argue about...

Apple dont do much changes for years and years to come. they add little bit here and there. Therefore iphones can handle updates, whereas Google in particular changes a lot, and in order to run latest os needs new bells and whistles.
P.S. people these dont wait for manufactures to release an update. they just do custom rom. imo custom roms do better job at everything.

Another iPhone biased junkie article?
Fact - Hvaing the same version number means nothing. Comparing today's iPhone using the specs of phones from 2011 is lame too.
How about this fact, just because the iPhone 4 can download an use iOS7, doesn't mean its 100% the same, because it isn't. The fact is, an Android phone from 2010/11 still does more than ANY iPhone running iOS7 whether its an iPhone 4 or an iPhone 5S/C.
What you are trying to do is make it seem better than iPhone's are supported with more updates. What you failed to see is, Android phones do so much out the box, they don;t need as many updates. Most IOS updates are to catch the iPhone up to SOME of todays standard in function. But are still way way off.
An iPhone 4 with iOS7 is equal to an Android phone running 2.3 Gingerbread. While an iPhone 5S running iOS 7 is similar to an Android phone running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
The facts you should really compare is this: Compare an iPhone 5S running iOS 7 to a Galaxy Note III running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and see which one gives you more out th box for your money.
How about this one simply comparison - The iPhone 5 running iOS 7 which is last years model has the same resolution of this years model at 1136x640 vs the Galaxy Note II of last year tpo the Galaxy Note III of this year which has moved from a 1280x720 display to a full HD 1920x1080 display. Buying the same phone 2 years in a row is lame vs actually getting a new phone. The article is stupid.

Apple gets too much credit. They do less and give themselves credit.
It is the equivalent of them doing 30 minute projects while Google does 2 hour projects and then Apple media bragging about Apple doing 5 more projects a year than Google. Which is technically accurate but extremely misleading.
Apple is the master of the scam and misdirection and their stupid fans seem to lap it all up.
Here is a list only the more intelligent people see.
- They charge you twice as much as other manufactures for their phones. IE a profit margin that covers what it costs for them to make 2 iphones or more while other manufacturers have profit margins that are much lower with some manufacturers making much less profit.
- the effect. Apple gladly replacing your phone because they already charged you for the equivalent of 2 or more phones. While other manufactures that aren't making much profit cannot afford to replace your phone so easily because they would lose money.
- the scam. Apple charges you for a replacement warranty many never use without telling the consumer and then brag about their customer service when replacing phones even though they already charged you for two phones or more in advance so they can afford to replace your phone no questions asked and take credit for it.

This update thing being another misleading PR scam Apple fans lap up. And there are plenty more examples of the Apple scam.

Android fans come in and terrorize apple articles but everything is like a family reunion and all diplomatic in android articles haha.

I'm sorry but no.
You CANNOT ignore custom mods and such for this comparison. The fact that you or anyone else did turns this comparison moot. It's like saying that cars are faster than airplanes just by comparing speeds on the ground. It's ridiculous.
Well of course when it comes to official updates apple wins. They got 5 current phones that they need to support ffs!! Every major Android manufacturer has dozens!!
But as I said - that's official updates only. Do we REALLY need to bring the point where Android allows people to install custom roms? That's not just some gimmick. That is the very essence of Android!! You bought an Android device and your manufacturer decided to cut life support for it? Well you got 3 choices there buddy. Stick with the latest official firmware, shell out $$$ for a new device or save your cash and your anger and install a custom rom.
STOP with the assumption that the people who do that are only hardcore geeks or tinkerers!! That is very very far from being true. Rooting your device and installing a custom rom is a VIABLE CHOICE. Yes, it has it's own consequences and responsibilities but that's true for any choice in life.
Good day all. :)

But even if they have dozens of phones, they pay attention to the nexus first and yet the galaxy nexus is still at 1.9? You are pointless.
103. ilia1986 (unregistered)
The galaxy nexus is from December 2011 and it's still being updated. Your point is moot.
86. 5h4yn3 (Posts: 4; Member since: 09 Oct 2013)
This may be true. Assuming that the iPhone user is not updating to the newest OS. Look at the available articles and you will see iOS updates destroy old phones. Not physically but if the software can't keep up then what use is it?
89. gigantos (Posts: 63; Member since: 25 Jul 2013)
Haha, and you forget that the first galaxy s or nexus were launched only in 2010?

Nonsense comments from fanboys of both retarded Dog Sammy and Rotten Fruit.
But it surely helps when you have less than 10 communication phones in your portfolio and you make your own OS. The now prehistoric lagging on Android applies here as well if there were only some 10 phone models which were given all the attention of say 100 models at the moment.
93. GeekNews (Posts: 9; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
Where is the actual information that supports any statement in this article? All Michael shows is tweet without any evidence. The Galaxy S2, original Galaxy Note and several other Android based Samsung devices all have full updates 2yrs past their releases dates. I'm sure other manufactures likely have the same.
Reading the iFan comments is a laugh...you argue that Apple 'tried it's best' to give you the full update?? Really...that is your argument? If you take a good look at a direct 1-1 comparison, not a single Apple device has received a FULL os update past 2 yrs. Sure you see 'some' of the updates but not all. That is the KEY fact here. With Android you get all of the update, not a partial with an excuse.
Apple just released iOS7, bugs and all, with minimal support for older devices and when KitKat comes out Google has already promised support for more and more previous gen devices. Will we see it? Time will tell. Will it be more featured packed than iOS7...you bet.
101. crazymonkey05 (Posts: 180; Member since: 20 Nov 2012)
it is true that apple can update their devices longer and that's a plus, but as many have stated its wothless when you only get some of the features...its like saying you can have a banana split but to see that all you got was a scoop of ice cream, where is all the bananas and and the chocolate fudge and sprinkles? you dont get them, you can only have the ice cream but hay its a banana split still.
This is apples logic they slap a title on a small update and call it the whole thing.
Android manufactures are not any better though. they release a phone brand new and maybe support it for a few updates...every manufacture i have seen is guilty about this. and a way to solve it is to slow down on the number of devices they put out and concentrate on updating them, thats why people love apple because they have few devices and can update them all and no device gets left behind.
thats also why people steer away from other manufactures because there phones never get updates and to get those updates they have to buy a whole new phone and that is not right.
so both sides have pros and cons and sometimes you just have to deal with it.

Their software may be great on some of their phones with latest iOS.
BUT sadly Apple's iphone 5 and 5s USB lightening cables are VERY unreliable. So many negative comments regarding poor not up to Apple's quality cables on their website, and other retailer website.
I mean how can you use your Apple iPhone software when your iphone can't be charged for a day's use.
I am not hating on Apple as I use their laptops, and had ipods but never their phones. My younger sister has an iphone 5 and hates the new iOS7, along with being disappointed in the failure of her phones USB charger cable.
107. poping (unregistered)
ios7 is like 10fps on an ip4s...
you call that running...?
i call that crawling...
108. poping (unregistered)
ios7 features lags 3 years behind jellybean...
and kitkat is around the corner...
so regardless old iphones supports new ios...
it's still way behind android...

If Lockport had a watercolorist laureate, Joseph Whalen would be a shoe-in.
Over a career that stretches back many decades, the big-hearted artist has been capturing daily life in his native city and its environs with aplomb and no shortage of good humor. His paintings almost always carry tongue-in-cheek titles, like "Old Man With a Cane, Getting Directions From an Old Man With a Cane." In December, the Market Street Art Gallery in Lockport named its gallery after Whalen and his wife, Kathleen.
And today, the Kenan Center (433 Locust St., Lockport) will open an exhibition featuring work by Whalen and more than a dozen artists he taught or inspired across his career. Those artists are Joseph Buczkowski, Jack DiMaggio, Kris Gazzo, Kathleen Giles, Jennifer Kursten, Don Little, Paul Martin, Manning McCandlish, Doug and Dave Michalski, Mark Wald, Dody Walters, Jeff Watkins, Clayton Rickard and Joan Shaw.
"Joe Whalen is perhaps one of Lockport's most beloved, if not most prolific, artists. Saying only that he was born 'a long time ago,' Whalen has spent a vast number of decades capturing the day-to-day life and rural scenery of Lockport, from its barns and canal, to its parades and bar rooms," according to a Kenan Center release. "So recognizable are his frugally painted, and humorously titled works, that they can easily be called iconic."
The show runs through Feb. 24. Call 433-2617 or visit www.kenancenter.org.
