Skip to comments.Naked Men in National Museums
Posted on 12/07/2010 5:22:30 AM PST by Kaslin
What in the name of Gilbert Stuart is going on at the National Portrait Gallery?
A week ago, CNSNews' Penny Starr reignited the culture war with an arresting story about the staid old museum that began thus:
"The federally funded National Portrait Gallery, one of the museums of the Smithsonian Institution, is currently showing an exhibition that features images of an ant-covered Jesus, male genitalia, naked brothers kissing, men in chains, Ellen DeGeneres grabbing her breasts and a painting the Smithsonian itself describes in the show's catalog as 'homoerotic.'"
Film of the crucifix with ants crawling on Jesus is from "A Fire in My Belly," a video by David Wojnarowicz, who died of AIDS in 1992, that expressed his rage and anguish at the death of a lover who also died of AIDS.
As this is a Christmas-season exhibit, it came to the attention of William Donahue of the Catholic League. He called the ants-on-Jesus image "hate speech" and demanded its removal.
The rest of the four-minute video of "A Fire in the Belly," writes Starr, portrays "the bloody mouth of a man being sewn shut ... a man undressing a man's genitals, a bowl of blood and mummified humans."
One wonders: Why has this exhibit not received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts?
With all deliberate speed, the portrait gallery pulled the video.
Too late. By now the exhibit, "Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in America," had come to the attention of House Republicans who may have just struck the mother lode of that "waste, fraud and abuse" that the Gipper was always talking about.
Other features in the exhibit include that painting of the naked men kissing with one holding a gun to the chest of the other and a 1954 painting of an aroused naked man, "O'Hara Nude With Boots," by Larry Rivers. "O'Hara" is poet Frank O'Hara, Rivers' lover.
How did The Washington Post react to Donahue's protest?
"The Censors Arrive," said the Post. Yet the ants-on-Jesus image, 11 seconds long, is no big deal said the Post, which chastised Reps. John Boehner and Eric Cantor for suggesting the exhibit could imperil Smithsonian funding.
The Post added, "We hope Mr. Cantor's threats prompt many additional Washingtonians to visit and judge for themselves."
But if the Post is interested in having Washingtonians "judge for themselves" this "art," why does the paper not publish photos of "O'Hara Nude With Boots"? If this is art the gallery should be showing high school kids who come to Washington each spring, why not let the Post's readers see what the controversy is all about?
To Post art critic Blake Gopnik, the "show about gay sex" at the gallery is "courageous" and "full of wonderful art. My review of it was a rave."
What Gopnik raved about are the kind of pictures that used to be on French postcards, the possession of which in the 1950s could get you kicked out of high school.
As for the gallery's pulling of "A Fire in My Belly," Gopnik wrote that the NPG curators "come off as cowards."
Down the hall from the "Hide/Seek" homoerotic art and gay sex show is the Steven Spielberg-George Lucas collection of paintings by Norman Rockwell, which they loaned to the gallery. While Gopnik raved about the former, the Rockwell paintings, so beloved of flyover country, are just the kind of bourgeois schlock art that truly repulses him.
Writes Gopnik: "Norman Rockwell would get the boot (from the National Portrait Gallery) if I believed in pulling everything that I'm offended by. I can't stand the view of America that (Rockwell) represents, which I believe insults a huge number of the non-mainstream folks."
The reason I don't demand that Rockwell's trash be pulled, says Gopnik, is "because his (Rockwell's) detractors, including me, got to rant about how much they hated his art."
Cantor "has said that taxpayer-funded museums should uphold 'common standards of decency,'" says Gopnik. "But such 'standards' don't exist and shouldn't in a pluralist society."
Interesting. But if there are no common standards of decency, there is no moral community, and where there is no moral community, there is no country. If we cannot agree on what is beautiful, moral and decent, are we really "one nation, under God, indivisible" anymore?
Gopnik and the Post have put critics of the gallery's sex show on notice that their protests are to be restricted to the verbal. Neither they nor Congress have a right to tell curators what to exhibit and not exhibit. "(T)he use of public dollars does not give lawmakers the right to micromanage or censor public displays," says the Post.
The gauntlet has been thrown down to the new GOP majority: Keep your puritanical hands off our museums.
The Smithsonian needs a haircut next year to remind these folks who's boss and that with public funding comes public responsibility.
The funding to all of these places needs to be ended. The arts are great, but, I don't want my money going to this junk. It's insulting to most Americans. They can call it what they want but, let them do it on their own dime.
How would the Washington Post react if the Smithsonian Institution exhibited art depicting the Koran being used as toilet paper or Mohammad being raped by a pack of goats???
Disgusting. The name, Gopnick, strikes me as apropos.
DISGUSTING!! Vile crap paid for by US, the Taxpayers!! DISGUSTING! What sickos go to see this crap??
Gopnik says, that Rockwell, which I believe insults a huge number of the non-mainstream folks. What 10? This makes me sick to my stomach. Personally this has gone to far and so has our government.
This is just "post-modern art". Another term for "amateurish crap by frauds".
Your tax dollars at work.
This has turned into a big free for all and according to these people your homophobic if you don't like it. Then we need to pull all the money from the arts that our tax dollars pay for. Let them fund this trash themselves.
Oh, what unmitigated, hypocritical argle-bargle. Ask them if "use of public dollars" does not give the Federal government the "right to micromanage" formerly private universities, county highway departments, and every other FReepin' thing ... and they'll tell you that of course it does. A university that accepts students using government-backed loans or grants has to follow any rule the Feds want to put on them.
Is there something inappropriate about being homophobic? Although I find the word meaningless (fear of people?)its application to those who consider male to male buggering a particularly nasty business is ridiculous. I fear the unbridled assault on morality perpetuated by the buggering community and nurtured by the MSM and cultural elites. I do not refer to my sentiments as homophobic. They are, more properly, sodophobic.
Blake Gopnik is queer. Of course he likes the show. It's not just the National Portrait Gallery that's degenerate. It's the Washington Post.
I don't know. Pat Buchanan editorializing over genitals...
Can we be far from the fate of the Cities on the Plain?
Not even 10 righteous could be found there...
Nauseating placemark for nauseating pingout tomorrow.
the last thing I want to think about is queers sodomizing each other, even if they claim they "love" each other. it's just gross. two male bodies are not compatible for the bugging for a reason. ever tried to plug two male ends of extension cords together? it doesn't work! now, if you turn one of the male plugs into a female plug, thats what God intended!
Be a shame to ban the likes of Michelangelo and other great artists of the Renaissance. Merely because some of their works violate Victorian Era ideals of modesty.
It may not be what we want to show our kids. But some of the great art of the world. And pieces commissioned by the Church particularly during the Renaissance show men, women and children in states of undress that later horrified those in the Victorian era.
Seems what is being advocated here is to throw out the baby with the bath water. The complaint appears to be against 3 pieces (and mostly 1 video) included in a display about how the homosexual lifestyle influenced art over the last century. Not something most of us would seek to view much less take children too.

Modern "art" is merely another arm of leftist nihilistic libertine homo-faggism. Not one drop of tax money should go to any art, ever, whatsoever. Maybe sometime in the future when leftist libertine homo-faggism is in the trash bin where it belongs, people could volunteer their tax money for art. But until then, defund, fumigate and empty out all so-called "art" which is in reality the sickening tantrums of mentally ill perverts from any and all public buildings. If people want to scream "censorship", fine with me. Scream yourself sick but no taxpayer money should ever go to support sick, perverted, obscene and filthy rantings by mentally ill blasphemous sex perverts.
Yeah, but those cities weren't as big as we are.
It might just about be equal proportionately.
Tell us how you really feel....
I couldn't agree more.
It's just welfare in disguise.
When a society accepts the political correctness verdict that they have no right to set taboos, that society is dying. And that is the ultimate gola of the nihilists, the death of any taboo structure which would restrict their lusts. Filthy faggots have degenerate minds, so their pronouncements will be putrifaction.
Next time I won't hold back.....

This is about giving homosexuals other people's money to flaunt their lifestyle in front of the public and insult people who disagree with them.
This is about giving homosexuals other people's money to flaunt their lifestyle in front of the public and insult people who disagree with them.
Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.
Genesis 18:20-21
Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape.....
Anyone who does not understand the mind of the homosexual male and the homosexual agenda may want to read this column by Blake Gopnik:
If you don't see the difference between classical nude sculptures and paintings, and the offensive in the extreme faggot blasphemy, you either didn't read the article, or the homosexual agenda doesn't bother you. Why would it not bother someone, is the next question.
Thanks, I just glimpsed at it (just eating breakfast, I have respect my digestion) and maybe I'll ping it out as a "know thine enemy" thing.
But I was trying to use restraint.
People who know me well have said I should have a talk radio show.
Ha ha - I'd get no ad sponsors. There is a small hippie radio station nearby but I'd only last one time.
Did you see what the Fagot Blasphemy was?
The exhibit is not exactly the Folsom Street Fair of sexual perversions. At least not the pictures and Photo's that the Smithsonian has placed online. And when included in the outrageous list is a photo of a fully clothed woman clutching her breasts. Not something we expect in polite company nor something you would need to visit a burlesque show for. And certainly less voyeuristic than Eve's naked image on the Sistine Ceiling.
Yes they included one depraved video. That happens to be in it's unedited version on Youtube for the entire world to see at their leisure. And while it was removed from the show, the resulting press coverage guarantees it will be viewed by millions. The remainder of the display looks like it has anticipated themes of loneliness, Isolation, Frustration, and Hiding in Plain Sight.
Taxpayer monies should not be used to pay for offensive "art" that promotes sexual perversion, whether it's akin to SF insanity or somewhat more restrained. Homosexuality is a mental illness, repulsive, abnormal, wrong, immoral, unhealthy and not one thin dime of public money should be spent promoting, normalizing or apologizing for it.
Public money shouldn't be spent on ANY art. Donation only.
Do you really suppose people were more moral in 15th century Italy?
Come on.
You think 15th Century Italy had government enforced homosexual agenda crap all over the place?
You think that 40% of births were to unmarried mothers?
What I don't understand is your (apparent) support of disgustingly obscene "art" in a national institution.
Copy some tomorrow here.
Yes, bastardy was quite common back then, though they didn't keep statistics.
How many people got killed in duels or are poisoned by their wives in today's America?
40% to unmarried women? Most of those raised without a father?
You're comparing duels and poisoning to - what? The current murder rate?
How about abortion?
Yes, infanticide was *very* common in the Renaissance. Not legal of course, but very common and the laws not much enforced. As with poisoning and duels.
Priests didn't fight duels, and preached against it too. The ruling classes did not care.
You really need to get away from the idea that every age past was more moral than today.
Sometimes morals were better, sometimes worse.

Negative capacitance – one day soon
Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have shown that it is possible to reduce the minimum voltage necessary to store charge in a capacitor, an achievement that could reduce the power draw and heat generation of today's electronics. Shown is a rendition of an experimental stack made with a layer of lead zirconate titanate, a ferroelectric material. UC Berkeley researchers showed that this configuration could amplify the charge in the layer of strontium titanate, an electrical insulator, for a given voltage, a phenomenon known as negative capacitance.

In 2014–2015, states began using Dynamic Learning Maps® (DLM®) Alternate Assessment System scores for accountability purposes.
- In the year-end model, educators have the option to use instructionally embedded assessments during the year. In late spring, all students in each grade are assessed on the same Essential Elements (EEs). Scores used for accountability are only based on the late spring assessment administration.
- In the integrated model, educators have some choice of which EEs are taught and assessed. Instructionally embedded assessment is required, but the timing and frequency of assessment varies by state. In late spring, all students are retested on a small number of EEs, for which they were taught and assessed earlier in the year. Scores used for accountability are based on a student's cumulative assessment results throughout the year.

Wow...what a great van.
by ToyotasNumber1 from Grand Rapids MN | September 23, 2010
Well i would like to start off saying that the family privia has 275,000 and still going down the road great. We have always kept up on the maintains and changed all the fluids in it when needed...it tends to burn a little oil when first started on a cold morning but hey its got over 270000. I have always hated the style of this van...it reminds me of an egg but whatever.

Biba Caggiano
Biba Caggiano is an Italian-American cookbook author, television chef, and restaurateur.
She was born in Bologna. Her first exposure to professional cooking was through her mother, who owned and operated a trattoria in Bologna. She married a New Yorker named Vincent. She grew up cooking the food of her native Emilia-Romagna region. In 1960 she moved to New York, the hometown of her husband. In 1969 the family moved to Sacramento, which at the time did not have an Italian restaurant of note.[1] In 1986 she opened the Biba Restaurant, which went on to become one of the most famous Italian restaurants in California. It is located at 2801 capitol AVE, Sacramento, CA, 95816.
Both Caggiano and her restaurant have won many prestigious awards.[citation needed] Caggiano's cooking show, "Biba's Italian Kitchen," aired on TLC and Discovery Channel and lasted for over 100 episodes.
As an author, Caggiano has penned eight widely selling cookbooks, which together have reportedly sold more than 600,000 copies.[1] These include the following:
- Trattoria Cooking
- Biba's Taste of Italy
- From Biba's Italian kitchen
- Italy al dente
- Biba's Italy
- Northern Italian Cooking
- Spaghetti Sauces
Caggiano is a cancer survivor.[2]

I do not know how you feel about it, but you were a female in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere around the territory of Western Russia approximately on 1650. Your profession was handicraftsman and mechanic.
You were a seeker of truth and wisdom. You could have seen your future lives. Others perceived you as an idealist illuminating path to the future. You fulfill your lesson by helping old folks and children. You came to that life to learn to care about weak and helpless.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Classic, Traditional, Casual, Cute
What materials did you use? Wool roving yarn, knitting needles, fabric to line tote bag, button, extra yarn/roving for embellishment, needle felting tool
What are you most proud of? I specialize in easy patterns for Beginner knitters. This is an easy knit, worked flat and seamed together. There's minimal shaping and I mean MINIMAL! And you only have to pick up 3 stitches. I really think this is a fun and easy felted project that will produce a wonderful and useful end result. And I know it makes a great gift because my friend loved hers and I've made several more for men and women friends. They're all very happy!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? If you haven't tried to knit and felt yet, I encourage you to do so. It's a lot of fun but I do have to warn you that it's very addicting. Also, as with some of my other projects, I encourage you to consider needle felting as a way to embellish your projects.

Lung function was evaluated in 13 patients before and after surgical correction of spinal deformity. Lung volumes were unchanged, physiologic dead space fell from 155 to 90 ml, and minute ventilation fell from 9.22 to 7.67 liters/min. Arterial oxygen tension (P02) rose from 87 to 93 mm Hg at rest and from 80 to 85 mm Hg during exercise. The alveolar-arterial Po2 gradient fell from 26 to 20 mm Hg at rest and was unchanged (90 mm Hg) while breathing oxygen. Distribution of ventilation and perfusion, studied with xenon Xe 133, was normal in patients with curves less than 65°. In those with curves exceeding 70°, ventilation in each lung zone was variable. The normal perfusion gradient from upper to lower lung zones was equally reduced both before and after correction.

This review is from: Zoom 5341-00-00J 5341 Docsis 3.0 Cable Modem Ethernet Port DOCSIS 3.0
Pros: Solved all issues. Stability is rock solid
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Time Warner had been to my house 4x recently. Each time they cut off some fittings and replace them with new ones. Then they unplug the modem and replace it with one they took from someone else's house. I told them that there was something wrong with the modem and requested a brand new one since I am actually renting it, but they gave another used one. Hence buying this, stinks that it took an hour on the phone with them, just to find out that she put the mac address in her system wrong.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: Speed is actually faster than expected.
But still only a tenth of what they claim.
I saw 40mbs NOT ssd speeds of 450mbs
Cons: Always spins the drive.
Lack of screw pack leaving me to secure it myself.
Other Thoughts: At first I thought this was DOA. After fiddling around with it for a little each day, I finally got it to be recognized about 25% of the time.
Though this should be obvious, but after reading others reviews idk, so ill mention it.
There is two large USB ends on this cable for a reason, connect them both to the computer.
This review is from: Apple iPod shuffle (4th Gen) Pink 2GB MP3 Player MD773LL/A
Pros: Looks authentic.
Much smaller than the first generation.
Cons: None yet
Other Thoughts: When the package came and it looked exactly like half the used bay items I have gotten I was a bit nervous about what was inside. Guess we will see on xmas day if it actually works.READ FULL REVIEW

Microsoft is planning to release a preview build of Windows 9 at a special press event on September 30, according to sources familiar with Microsoft's plans. It's still unclear exactly how many of Windows 9's hotly anticipated features will actually make it into the September 30 release — but hopefully we'll at least see the resurrected Start menu and Metro apps running on the Desktop. We wouldn't be surprised if you have to wait a little longer for the consumer preview of Windows 9 before you get to play with your new Cortana digital assistant, however.
According to the latest leaks out of Microsoft, the next major version of Windows — Windows 9, Windows Threshold — will kill off the Charms bar. And, if that wasn't enough to win back the droves of Desktop users who were scared off by the disgusting blight of Windows 8 Metroficiation, Windows 9 will also have virtual desktops! Yes, it would seem Microsoft is serious about making Windows a first-class operating system for mouse-and-keyboard users yet again.
With surprisingly little ceremony at all, Microsoft has announced that the next major update for Windows 8.1 is coming next week on August 12 — except calling it a 'major update' is a wee bit of an overstatement. In fact, despite rumors that we'd be seeing a significant 'Update 2' in August, Microsoft says that's definitely not the case. In short, if you were hoping for something exciting from the second Windows 8.1 update, you will be sorely disappointed — unless you've been avidly awaiting some touchpad tweaks, anyway.
Microsoft's Satya Nadella has confirmed that the next version of Windows, probably Windows 9, will unify the Windows, Windows Phone, and Xbox operating systems into 'one single converged operating system.' Microsoft had previously made some moves towards unification with Universal Windows Apps that run across all three platforms, but this new version of Windows will go a lot further: 'This means [we'll have] one operating system that covers all screen sizes.'
Fair citizens of the interwebs, I bring sad tidings: Windows XP is officially dead. As of this morning, April 8, Microsoft has officially end-of-lifed (EOL) Windows XP. If you're still running Windows XP, no further patches or security updates are coming your way, and you should upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8 immediately. Of course, in reality, some 30% of the world's 1.5 billion PCs still run Windows XP. If you factor in computers that are hiding behind governmental and institutional firewalls, and non-PCs, there could be billions of computers still running Windows XP today.
At its Build 2014 conference, Microsoft has revealed that a future update to Windows 8.1 will resurrect the Start menu. No, really, stop looking at your calendar — it isn't April 1 any more. The same Windows 8.1 update will also allow you to run Metro apps in a window on the Desktop. Yes, it took Microsoft more than three years to backtrack on Windows 8's nightmarish interface and usability changes, but it seems the company is finally coming around to the fact that it shouldn't ignore the needs of hundreds of millions of PC users.
The photo you see above — the default wallpaper for Windows XP — is probably the most recognizable image in the world. What you probably didn't know is that it's a real photo, called Bliss, taken by Charles 'Chuck' O'Rear in 1996, and then sold to Microsoft for an undisclosed sum (but it was apparently one of the highest prices ever paid for a single photo). It seems fitting that, on April 1, a week before the April 8 retirement of Windows XP, we should honor technology's most iconic image.
At long last, the Windows 8 Metro environment has a decent media player that can play MKV files: VLC for Windows 8! VLC Media Player Beta for Windows 8 is a complete reimagining of VLC for Microsoft's touch-oriented Metro interface, but still with most of the functionality that makes the Desktop version of VLC so awesome. VLC for Windows 8 includes support for the MKV container format, the H.264 codec (along with its various containers/file formats), and almost every other codec under the sun (just like VLC on the Desktop).
Microsoft has confirmed the existence of DirectX 12. As expected, it will be unveiled at GDC 2014 on March 20. It would appear that all the usual suspects are already on board — the use of their logos on the DirectX 12 website strongly suggests that AMD, Nvidia, Intel, and Qualcomm are all preparing DX12 hardware. Considering DX10 was released in 2006, and DX11 was released in 2009, DX12 is incredibly overdue. All signs point to DirectX 12 being a direct competitor to AMD's recently released Mantle API, and in all likelihood will stymie AMD's attempt to gain a critical mass of game developers.
Microsoft has signed off on the final version (the RTM) of Windows 8.1 Update 1. According to one of our internal sources, the new version of Windows 8 is on schedule to be released on April 8, just after Microsoft's Build conference. You will probably be glad to hear that most of the changes in Windows 8.1 Update 1 are focused on making the OS usable for mouse-and-keyboard users.

Journal Entry # 2: Wishing on an Xbox
Journal Entry # 2: Wishing on an Xbox
Aug 26, 2004 4:40PM PST
Well, Halo 2 will be coming out soon. As will Fable. And I'm cursing the day I decided to get a Gamecube over an Xbox. Don't get me wrong, I love my GC. I'm especially looking forward to Resident Evil 4 and the next Zelda game. It's just that I really, really, REALLY would like to play Fable. Oh well. Nothing I can do but sulk and go on w/my life. Speaking of my life, I might as well put something down about it. Let's see...I went to work, and came home. Day in, day out...work work work. I really need to find a new job. This one is going no where.

Gris spent several months during 1920-1 at Bandol, a small port on the French Mediterranean coast. He worked on a series of paintings that depict objects in front of a window overlooking the harbour, bringing together landscape and still life. In this work, items commonly found in Cubist still lifes - the bottle, glass, newspaper and fruit - are set against the blue sea and distant hills. Breaking away from the shallow space associated with pre-war Cubism, Gris allows foreground and distant background elements to co-exist without use of a naturalistic perspective.

Thirteen local students have been awarded $1,000 scholarships from the Volunteer Services Organization (VSO), a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization at East Cooper Medical Center (ECMC).
This years recipients of the $1,000 scholarships are: Sean Brady, Mollie Davidson, Emily Stafford, Ainsley Wingard, Jackson Wood, Sarah Faulkner, Anna Gazecki, Rita Hirsch, Cameron Kahn, Brooke Lupton, Ashton Williams, Kevin Pinet and Ashley Prentice. The students will be attending South Carolina universities including MUSC, USC, Clemson University and College of Charleston.
The Wishing Well Gift Shop at East Cooper Medical Center is managed by volunteers and each year sales from the gift shop go to local charities, medicines for patients in need and to fund scholarships for area students. In addition, the VSO also holds several fundraisers throughout the year. Last year, seven scholarships were distributed. Through volunteer efforts, the amount awarded this year almost doubled to 13. To apply for the scholarship, students must complete an application form, provide letters of recommendation and have a cumulative grade point average of B and above. A scholarship committee reviews the applications and chooses the recipients.
The scholarships were given at East Cooper Medical Center during an intimate gathering and celebration to honor the chosen recipients. CEO Jason Alexander and Jan Ledbetter, president of the VSO, congratulated each student on their hard work and wished them continued success in their college career.
Its an honor to award these scholarships on behalf of our volunteers. They work hard to raise this money and were thrilled to be helping local students attend college and pursue their dreams, said Ledbetter.

I am using Dropbox as a hassle-free way of versioning and sharing my source files.
Clearly, I don't want any binaries on there.
With IntelliJ and Java, it all works fine to have a content root in dropbox and all project output outside Dropbox; everything compiles and runs just fine.
With IntelliJ and Flex/AIR however, if I do exactly the same, everything compiles just as well, but I get the error "initial content not found" upon running with adl.
Supposing I have a project in /Users/Steven/Documents/FlexProjects/Test and my sources/assets in /Users/Steven/Dropbox/FlexProjects/Test, how do I make this work? I must be missing something.

While rosters for the 2012-13 NBA season are mostly complete, there are still some rumblings that simply won't go away that date back into the offseason.
Whether due to a rebuilding project, position clogging or simple ineffectiveness, the relationship between team and player is so fractured that it's probably best for both sides to part ways.
Nevertheless, at this point in the offseason, it's getting more and more difficult to find a taker. With that in mind, let's take a look at some of the latest trade-related rumors and news flying around in the Association.

No, I don't mean that I did the good writing, and I certainly didn't
do any of the excellent designing. I'm talking about Macintosh, with
which I seem to have become obsessed.
Recently my cousin Garrett purchased a MacBook for his not-so-far-off excursion to Westmont College. Of course, one of the reasons he did this (and I hope I'm not just flattering myself here) is because I told him to do it. No, it wasn't just based on a single time that I told him, but rather an entire year or two of my wheedling, nagging and telling him about every awesome feature in Macintosh computers, ending in his eventual conversion. It was like converting someone away from Moronism, ur, Mormonism.
My older sister had a personal vendetta against the little white machines, one that I shared until I grew old enough to ask questions like, "why is Macintosh so horrible?" and "what's wrong with the interface? It seems fine to me."
What I meant when I said good writing and excellent design changed me can be summed up in this video (which I can't seem to link, thanks, 1up).
The designers from Microsoft have quite different educations, as well as notions, about what their design should look like. However, since I've had exactly one year of college, I feel snobbish confident in saying that I now know more about "good design" (in quotes) than I did before. I'm not saying that I know everything about design; perish the thought! Though I know enough about it to see when design sucks, and more importantly, when it succeeds. My point is that that Apple website is almost nothing but design ranging from good to very good.
On the website, they have pictures of everything, usually tilted and sitting atop a reflective surface. It just seems to make everything look sexier, and the Apple designers know this and have made liberal use of it. As Martha Stewart would say, "it's a good thing." Near the slanted, sexy pictures of various products, programs and promos, it's plain to see that Apple has hired writers who could make the most mundane of products sound appealing, and serve to make the already-appealing Macintosh products even more attractive. The writers who were undoubtedly English majors who finished top of their class, followed by a breezy two years at advertising graphics school, leaving them with the skills to sell a gas-chugging, exaust-belching Hummer to a democrat with nothing but hand-picked typefaces and gentle gray-white gradients.
The HTML monkeys, also known as Web Designers, are as adept with internet script and Dreamweaver as the other designers are with Adobe Illustrator; the website seems to sell itself as much as it does the products it's made for. Naturally, almost all of the "clickables" on the Apple site are made of shiny gray or white buttons, and all of the news articles are there to tell you how much better Apple is than the other operating systems of the world, and boy does it tell you. Here, the Apple Writers have been at work again, blinding readers with a wonderful deluge of simple language that serves to make the reader feel smarter. It also gives them a crippling desire to buy Apple products.
All of this without any heavy-handed power plays, like Microsoft does with its website, a labyrinth-like cavalcade of pop-up windows and downloads that demand to be downloaded. The navigation is there, but it is neither shiny nor reflective, choosing instead to adopt the sky-blue fade from its reviled operating system, Windows Vista. The difference here is that Microsoft isn't selling computers or hardware; it's just selling an operating system. A proverbial "build it yourself" kit of malfunctioning parts.
It's easy to hear my bias through all of this. I suppose the point I'm trying to make here is that I should stop visiting the Apple website.
Yes, I've fallen. I've fallen hard.

Colt Ford's latest ahead of Saturday show
Colt Ford visits The Rave Saturday night in a show that has been reformatted into a Packers Playoff party. Opening act Chasin' Mason will perform during halftime of the Packers-49ers game and Ford will hit the stage 10 minutes after the conclusion of the game.
The former professional golfer turned country rapper has been riding the success of last year's chart-topping fourth studio album, "Declaration of Independence." While the roughneck album resonated with Ford's growing legion of fans, his brand of in-your-face hick hop has yet to resonate in a big way with country radio. This is actually a bit surprising, since he's long featured big country stars on each of his albums and the guest list on the new album includes Kix Brooks, Montgomery Gentry, Darius Rucker, Jason Aldean and Jake Owens (who will be opening for Aldean at June 29 at Summerfest.) »Read Full Blog Post

I was impressed by the Milwaukee band's spirited set at Riverwest Fest last December and a sound that knocks loudly on The Doors. But as the title of this song, "Miller City Blues," will attest, this is a blues tune, seasoned with tangy harmonica. Victor Buell IV, Calliope's vocalist and guitarist, directed the video, embedded below. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

SOME FOLKS have literally seen the world in a new light, thanks to an art installation in Chestnut Hill.
The Skyspace at Chestnut Hill Friends Meetinghouse last week played host to Art-Reach, a nonprofit group that aims to connect underserved audiences - including those with physical and mental handicaps and people from lower-income communities - to the arts.
And, according to one of the organization's leaders, the visit has received rave reviews.
"The concept of slow art, a very meditative process that you go through and experience, had a really special resonance for them," said Marion Young, executive director of Art-Reach. "It was unlike anything they would experience in arts or life in general."

It's almost unfathomable to me how one man can engender so much controversy more than 36 years after his death.
A single rifle shot felled Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968 as he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn.
And after all this time, Amarillo still hasn't honored King with a street in his memory.
How sad.
More than three decades later, Amarillo - which does have a small park named after King - is debating once more whether to name a major thoroughfare after him. The newest opportunity runs east-west just north of Interstate 40. Amarillo Boulevard, once one of the centers of commerce for the city, is now under discussion by a group called Amarillo Citizens for Street Renaming as a place that should carry Dr. King's name.
Trust me on this: No decision to memorialize Dr. King is going to come easily.
Residents want to circulate petitions among property owners on The Boulevard seeking a public hearing. City Manager Alan Taylor says city policy requires residents to obtain the signatures of at least 51 percent of the property owners. Petition organizers need to do a lot better than that.
But is that the end of the debate? Hardly. Clem Whitaker, one of the leaders of the petition drive, pointed out the other day that many of the property owners live elsewhere. He cited Lubbock-based United Supermarkets. Good call there, Mr. Whitaker. Lubbock already has named a street after Dr. King. The city council renamed Quirt Street after Dr. King in early 1993 after a citizens committee recommended such a change. Council members agreed, saying in a resolution that honoring Dr. King's memory with a street name "would be in the best interest of all the citizens of the City of Lubbock."
Even though Amarillo Boulevard no longer can boast of being one of the city's premier thoroughfares, it does remain one of its busiest. Granted, much of the activity isn't what you'd call family-friendly - what with all the prostitution and drug dealing occurring along The Boulevard. And, yes, the 15-mile-long street does have a healthy dose of reputable businesses. So we aren't talking here about a complete sinkhole of a thoroughfare.
Some of the response that has come in over the transom suggests that the city should retain The Boulevard's name. Others, no doubt in the weeks ahead, will look to the obvious need for the city to put this issue to rest.
City commissioners could act unilaterally and name the street by itself after Dr. King. Think that would go over well with everyone? Guess again. There would be a petition calling for a referendum on the street before the sun set the next day.
Commissioners could pre-empt the organizers by putting the referendum on the ballot themselves. Even that might not be enough to satisfy everyone. Suppose the renaming fails. Will supporters accept the decision and drop the issue? Not likely. I could see them looking for yet another thoroughfare to honor with King's name.
Indeed, the city is full of such streets.
My own feeling is that Amarillo should have done this long ago. Whether by referendum, city commission edict or through some executive order from the Texas highway department - The Boulevard is a state-run highway - Amarillo should already have honored one of the 20th century's greatest Americans.
As with most great men and women, King - and now his memory - evoke strong feelings both for and against him. His admirers speak of his dedication to equality. His foes contend he was less than patriotic because he opposed the Vietnam War. King's devotees speak of his Nobel Peace Prize. The preacher's enemies speak of his human frailties.
The record is clear in my mind. Martin Luther King Jr. wasn't a perfect man. Then again, who is? However, he sought to build bridges across a racial divide that in the 1950s and 1960s caused great difficulty among Americans. While many Americans - both black and white - sought to effect change through violent means, King preached time and again for non-violent protest. He delivered his message with an eloquence not heard in this country since that terrible night in Memphis.
Not everyone bought into it. Surely, not everyone is going to buy into the renaming of a major Amarillo street after him, no matter if it runs through some of the poorest sections of town - such as Amarillo Boulevard - or runs through some of the city's more affluent neighborhoods.
My own counsel to the organizers of this effort would be simply this: Be sure you all are together, united and committed to whatever decision you make.
Only then can you carry your message forward to a still-skeptical community.
If the group succeeds in the first part of that mission, the next part well could take care of itself. Then, Amarillo can put this nagging issue to rest.

Anatomy and Physiology
We are a multi-disciplinary department with responsibilities in instruction, research and continuing education in the disciplines of gross and microscopic anatomy, cell and systemic physiology, pharmacology, and neuroscience.
Highlights in research and teaching
Assistant or Associate Professor (Gross Anatomy) Opening
The Department of Anatomy and Physiology in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University is seeking applications for a 12-month, tenure-track or clinical-track Assistant or Associate Professor Faculty position with a primary emphasis in the teaching of Gross Anatomy.
Researcher Profile: Dr. Fernando Pierucci-Alves
Dr. Fernando Pierucci-Alves seeks to understand how disruptions in transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ)-signaling leads to infertility associated with antisperm antibodies and leukocytospermia.
CVM names Dr. Hans Coetzee department head of anatomy and physiology
A former faculty member is returning to Kansas State University to lead the anatomy and physiology department in the College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Hans Coetzee will become head of the department on Oct. 1. Coetzee was a College of Veterinary Medicine faculty member from October 2005 to July 2011, leaving to join Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine as a professor and section leader for its pharmacology analytical support team.
Beetroot beneficial for athletes and heart failure patients
Recently, the Auburn University football team revealed its pregame ritual of taking beetroot concentrate, or beet juice, before each game. The juice may have contributed to the team's recent winning season — and one exercise physiologist who has been studying the supplement for several years says that may be the case. "Our research, published in the journal Physiology in 2013, has shown that the nitrate found in beetroot concentrate increases blood flow to skeletal muscles during exercise," said Dr. David Poole, professor of exercise kinesiology and anatomy and physiology at Kansas State University.
Pair of Kansas State University faculty members cover the topic of CLC transport proteins in latest physiology journal
A chloride channel may sound like the latest addition to the cable television lineup, but two Kansas State University researchers are helping to show — including in 3-D — why knowing more about this family of transport proteins may unlock mysteries behind some genetic diseases. The Sept. 15 issue of The Journal of Physiology highlights Dr. Peying Fong and Dr. Jeffrey Comer from the College of Veterinary Medicine's anatomy and physiology department for their independent contributions on the featured topic of CLC — or chloride channel — transport proteins.
