Likeness is the bitch-goddess of portraiture - fickle, unforgiving and utterly devoid of sentiment. She barks commands at her followers, the eager-to-please painters and sculptors of the world, and chews them up and spits them out if they fail.
For every one of the faithful who satisfies her whims, and whom she raises in glory, the bones of a thousand others lie in proof of the perils of mediocrity. This is why so many entries in the annual Archibald Prize have a look of fear.
Painting a portrait is one of the most terrifying things an artist can do, just as having your portrait painted is one of the most terrifying things you can have done to you. A double fearfulness haunts any portrait worth its salt. This quality upgrades portraits made by painters such as Durer, Holbein, Rembrandt, Velasquez, Goya and Van Gogh from mere reportage into art, and from there, at their highest level, into the province of spiritual truth.
Forget the vanity of sitting to a society portraitist looking your best, or the comfort of having yours and your family's digitally sanitised mug shots taken by a studio snapper. As images, these are ersatz, bogus, valueless.
To confront likeness in the meaningful way required of real portraiture - one's own likeness as the sitter and another's likeness as the artist - is to countenance something at once as intimate as sex and as scary as death.
Portraiture as we understand it in Western culture has its origins in the funerary practices of the ancient world. It has links to the traditions of painted mortuary and sarcophagal sculpture, but also to painting proper. The so-called Fayum portraits, produced in Roman Egypt during the first three centuries after Christ, reveal faces as fresh, indeed as contemporary, as those we see in the streets around us today. The worker beside you, a passenger on the bus, your spouse, had counterparts 2000 years ago, their likenesses seized in the rich encaustic medium by itinerant artists kept in steady work by high mortality rates and comparatively youthful deaths.
The Fayum portraits are believed to have been painted in life and to have been prized as artistic representations in their own right, long before their incorporation into elaborate mummy casings on the demise of the subject.
The notion of being both in life and for death has underscored portraiture ever since. Likeness is crucial in portraits not simply because the living need to recognise themselves, and be recognised by others, but because the dead need to do the same. Cubist and other non-naturalistic portraits strike us as inadequate for that reason. The whole point of seeking to preserve one's likeness is to avoid ending up as a meaningless shard.
A young musician peers out from Cherry Hood's Archibald-winning work, Simon Tedeschi Unplugged, 2002. He is certainly self-possessed but he's also exercised by a sense of transience which finds its pictorial rhyme in the water-soluble medium favoured by Hood. Tedeschi's torso, and parts of his face, are already melting away. Although he fixes us with one of the most obdurate expressions ever captured in Australian art, he cannot halt the seepage destined to reduce him - to reduce all of us - to nothingness.
In midlife maturity, Hood knows that - and in glistening youth, so does Tedeschi. One of the reasons the painting works so well, works as a painting as much as a portrait, is this mutually binding contract between artist and subject.
As depicted by the masterful Robert Hannaford, the indigenous painter Lynda Syddick Napaltjarri is suspended in a silent, shadowy bubble. What is she doing, framed by this big chair in this bold canvas, other than contemplating the processes of time, the intricate, multilayered passage and interchange of the hours - of the days, years, centuries? What is Hannaford doing, other than memorialising her contemplation of them through his slow-motion technique and amazing powers of obser- vation, powers that David Hockney would refer to as eyeballing? Mark Read is lightning-struck by a vision of his own mortality in Adam Cullen's fabulously executed work, an honourable follow-up to his less-stricken take on David Wenham in 2000.
Intimations of the fragility of life abound in the show. Angus Nivison's Annie Lewis is effectively a momento mori, a meditation on mortality. So, too, is Brent Harris's study of Leo Schofield, in my opinion the aesthetic standout of the exhibition. A variation of a composition commissioned for the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, this painting is a marvel of poise.
Schofield, here the magus of the wisteria bough, is shown in the guise of a thinker. And what are his thoughts about, apart from the deadlines and dinner engagements of a busy professional? My guess is that they concern dying. They've taken wing from Schofield's mind and alighted on the buds above him, transforming them into death's heads.
There's nothing morbid in this. Harris has no brief to be ghoulish, nor Schofield a wish to be draped in the symbols of death, however appealing. For all concerned, even those who end up as spectacles in the boisterous bunfight of the Archibald, the painting of a portrait is a kind of sorry business. It is ritual, tribal and sacred. Take it lightly at your own risk.
Edmund Capon is right to observe that the Archibald is about voyeurism. But if curiosity about other people's lives motivates the voyeur, so does a candid interest in their aging and deaths. Mary Pinnock's Martin Sharp and Julie Dowling's Henry Reynolds threaten to give up the ghost, while to all intents and purposes Geoff Dyer's Alec Campbell has already done so.
By the way, someone needs to tell Dyer that only 10 per cent of his composition is beautiful, principally the part of it which describes the now-departed Anzac's careworn head. The surrounding 90 per cent of it is mere sound and fury signifying nothing.
There's an argument for having a fabric-control squad at the Archibald, equipped with shears to excise the extraneous metres that arrive with many exhibits.
Guilty parties this year include Richard Watkins and Paul Ryan, whose portraits, respectively, of David Moore and Richard Tognetti consume enough canvas to set the sails of an old-fashioned four-master. As for Hood, the lower half of her work could be lopped without a noticeable loss of impact.
As usual, so could half of the show.

Paolo Nutini - These Streets
A really rough and raw album that plays very easily. Could easily be mistaken for an incredibly cool Jazz album but it is so pure of angst ridden guitar laid voices wanting rock that it can't be mistaken with its direction. But I would throw him in with some really cool Jazz people because they would see the genius in him.
An amazingly soulful voice that seems like it should come from a much older soul....truly beautiful music.Tags: music, CD, songs, paolo nutiniAdded 8 Years Ago from Atlanticrecords

Another big focus for Bank of America investors -- as usual -- will be litigation costs tied to mortgage securities it must buy back from investors who argue the bank made false representations about the securities. Bank of America has already paid out billions of dollars to settle mortgage putback claims, and remaining exposure is an open question. "They have done a great job telling everybody this is behind them. We have to wait and see. I'm one of the guys who thinks there's more
negative surprises coming," Miller says. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York. Follow @dan_freed

Photos: Ten Treats at the Taste of Colorado
All photos by Jake Shane
It's called the Taste of Colorado, but we know it's really about the taste of turkey legs. After all, the annual festival at Civic Center Park generally goes through over 40,000 pounds of the fire-roasted turkey trotters. Despite a smattering of Denver-area restaurants turning out mini-portions of standard menu items, it's the festival food -- the chocolate-dipped fruit on a stick and the corn on the cob -- that are filling festival-goers' bellies, as our photographer illustrates with a few food photos.
See also: Five Favorite Foods at the Taste of Colorado
Desserts, especially the oft-maligned cupcake, also seemed like popular options this year. See the complete slideshow for more photos of the people and fair food at the 2014 Taste of Colorado.

Too good to be true ... WhoNu?
I'll admit it: I have a sweet tooth, much to my chagrin. This past week I was grocery shopping, picking up some basics and longing for the markets to start up again, when behold – I stumbled upon a new product that just came out: WhoNu cookies!
These are modern cookies. Those fatty sugary devilish treats have now magically been transformed into something that is not only delicious but nutritious.
Could it be true? I could actually just couch potato all day long pounding these tasty treats – which I admit taste good and get all my daily nutrients?
Sadly, yet again science has failed us. Sure, these cookies have more vitamins and nutrients than an Oreo. However, if you put the nutrition labels from an Oreo cookie and a WhoNu cookie side by side they are identical ... to a point. The same caloric intake, the same sugar levels and a ton of sodium.
Basically, it's very similar to when you have to medicate your pet – stuff the medicine in a their favorite treat, bury it so they won't find it and then they swallow their pills. These cookies are no different – a multi-vitamin stuffed in a sugary unhealthy treat. Sure, sounds like fun, I'll take my daily vitamins wrapped in a cookie. Do they think we consumers are that dumb?
You know, if you want a cookie, have one. Heck, bake them yourself or with a family member – that's fun. But, if you really want a tasty treat with vitamins hidden inside? Try a carrot. Mother Nature is sneaky that way.

Los Angeles Vacations
Los Angeles is the pinnacle of laid-back luxury. It's no wonder this sprawling metropolis was the birthplace of American cinema; its gleaming beaches, sun-drenched streets, and mountain-dotted landscapes are enough to inspire a world of movie sets.
For the purest peek at the city's silver-screen past, start your Los Angeles vacation in Hollywood. Here, you'll be able to step into Marilyn Monroe's footprints outside TCL Chinese Theatre, search for big names on the Walk of Fame or stroll through nearly 200 celebrity figures at the Hollywood Wax Museum. Tourists tend to focus their vacations on buzzy Sunset Boulevard, but in-the-know travelers make a beeline for the so-chic eateries and vintage boutiques lining both La Brea and Robertson. Los Angeles deals abound in this area, too, so consider booking a cheap hotel for easy access to the top sights.
You'll find just as much California dreaming well beyond Hollywood's borders, however. While you may not have time to explore each of the city's nearly 100 neighborhoods, the best Los Angeles vacation packages let you cozy up to the cream of the crop. Venture to the newly revived downtown district to rub elbows with the trendy set at the Museum of Contemporary Art, or head to Beverly Hills to browse can't-miss discounts at the chichi shops on Rodeo. Want a little inside advice? Check out off-the-beaten-path areas like Atwater Village and Silverlake. You'll find the most innovative restaurants, cutting-edge art galleries, and alternative music venues perched along their palm-lined streets.
Of course, no trip to LA is complete without some beach time. Santa Monica is paradise for fun-loving families — the pier's carnival games and sweet treats will keep even your littlest ones entertained — but there's something especially magical about the eccentricity of Venice. Hop aboard a gondola for a ride through the canals, scope out Muscle Beach for some of the city's best people watching, or explore the funky shops on Abbott Kinney Boulevard. The neighborhood is like a microcosm of Los Angeles travel itself; no matter where you base your holidays, there's always something to see.
Accommodation in Los Angeles
Los Angeles features a fine assortment of places to stay. Expedia's hotels in Los Angeles page is your source for all the available hotel deals.
Visitors with an eye for life's finer things will feel right at home at the Montage Beverly Hills, at 225 North Canon Drive, and the Beverly Wilshire - Beverly Hills, A Four Seasons Hotel, at 9500 Wilshire Blvd. Two more upmarket accommodation options that previous visitors recommend include the Peninsula Beverly Hills and the Hotel Bel-Air.
University of Southern California is a must-see for visitors to Los Angeles and staying in the vicinity is a good way to ensure you get the chance to fully appreciate it. the Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles can be found only 3 kilometres (2 miles) away. Another convenient option is the JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE.

New Zealand Youth Ambassadors selected for youth summit
New Zealand Youth Ambassadors selected for international youth leadership summit in New Delhi, India.
Monday 20th June, 2011 – Alafale Andrew Lesa (21yo) will join Sam Johnston (22yo) of Canterbury Law School as the official New Zealand delegation to the Asia Youth Summit in Delhi from 17-23 July. The two New Zealanders have been selected from over a thousand young people from all over the world. It is the first time that the Asia Youth Summit is being held.
The sixty selected participants will spend a week sharing best practices in the areas of human rights, climate change, poverty reduction, education, HIV/AIDS, and social entrepreneurship. The new Changemakers will discuss the current challenges facing Asia, and work together with experts and other young social activists on how best to address the issues on the ground in their home countries.
The Asia Youth Summit is part of the British Council's Global Changemakers initiative. Global Changemakers is a global network of young who have a significant track record as social entrepreneurs, community activists and volunteers (ages 16-25). They meet to share ideas and work on projects that directly impact the lives of those in their local communities.
Alafale is currently studying at the University of Auckland. He was previously the sole New Zealand Representative to the Commonwealth Youth Leadership Programme 2010 in Rwanda, Africa. His contribution to the field of New Zealand youth leadership is inspiring, and he has already been recognised with a medallion from the Inaugural Young New Zealander of the Year awards. Alafale is of Samoan descent and hails from Sa'anapu and Sapapali'i respectively. It comes as no surprise that Alafale is the great, great grandson of Malietoa Tavita Vaiinupo; accredited with the birth of Christianity in Samoa. He also serves as one of three Samoan community leaders on the Pacific Island Advisory Council for South Auckland.
Director of British Council NZ - Ingrid Leary says "'the standard of applications received has been absolutely outstanding. Therefore, I am confident that both New Zealand ambassadors can actively demonstrate the highest caliber of youth leadership. Alafale's Pasefika perspective is a critical aspect to the regional focus of this programme."
Alafale Andrew Lesa says '"words alone can not describe my gratitude to the British Council for my success. I only hope that my contribution to the programme is to the highest standard, and that my involvement is a small koha to the fabric of youth leadership in Aotearoa. I firmly believe that the road to leadership is paved only by service."

Bad Girl (バッドガール) is a fictional character in the 2007 video game No More Heroes. She is a 23-year-old assassin who lives in the basement of Destroy Stadium. She is presumably American. She is ranked second in the United Assassins Association, drinks frequently, dresses in a Sweet Lolita fashion (which directly contrasts with her murderous personality) and bludgeons cloned men dressed in S&M gear with a baseball bat. After listening about how she feels no remorse whatsoever about killing (claiming it to be just a job), Travis Touchdown takes an immediate disliking to her, disbelieving her as a ranked assassin and calling her a perverted killing maniac. In retaliation, she claims that Travis is no better than her because, although she resorts to more cruel methods to killing, they both are assassins and kill who they must all the same.
During the fight she primarily attempts erratic melee attacks with her baseball bat, which cause moderate damage if they connect. After each combo she performs, she is vulnerable to attack. At a later stage of the battle, she will run to the conveyor belt and launch clones at Travis as a projectile, which can be deflected back at her with a pinpoint attack. The clones then attack like regular foes, and can be dispatched. She will also light her bat on fire to increase the potency of her attacks. When she does light her bat on fire, her normal downward swing attack, explodes in a large radius, similar to a Molotov cocktail, if not properly dodged.
In desperate moments, she will even pretend to fall to the ground crying to fool the player, resulting in instant death if Travis approaches her, thereby making her, Shinobu, Harvey and Henry the only four boss characters in the game with one-hit K.O. attacks. The game hints at two different crying poses that determines whether she will use her instant kill or is genuinely crying. When she cries with two hands on her face she is actually crying and she can be attacked, when she cries with one hand she is faking and will kill you. After their fight, she stands with Travis' beam katana sticking through her abdomen, refusing to give up. She continues to assault Travis until he decides to show her pity and forfeits the fight to her; she succumbs to her wounds soon afterwards.
Bad Girl is voiced by Kathryn Fiore.
- The phrase "Bad Girl" is written on Travis Bell's T-shirt in killer7, a game Suda 51 has worked on in the past.
- There is some speculation that Bad Girl is actually Dr. Peace's daughter, Jennifer, as both assassins are fought at Destroy Stadium.
- Other than speculation, Bad Girl is the only assassin given no backstory, identity, or motivation.
- Although the NMH site claims she is batting condemned criminals, an assassination gig Travis can take afterwards has you fighting the same gimps but says that the enemies are cloned. It's possible that those gimps are clones of the criminals that Bad Girl was killing.

Career Changers Set Their Sights on Nonprofits
As the country digs itself out of recession, thousands of Americans are still without jobs. Times are difficult, but you know what they say: When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
The question is, where do they go?
For some corporate go—getters who've joined the ranks of the unemployed, the answer is simple, if a little unlikely—the nonprofit sector.
"Some career changers, as well as many just starting their careers, are finding they have an opportunity to align their personal values with their professional goals," says John A.Yankey, PhD, interim executive director of Case Western Reserve University's Mandel Center for Nonprofit Organizations.
And while nonprofits have by no means gone untouched by the financial crisis, consider these statistics:
- 12 percent of the Mandel Center's students are career changers
- The Bridgespan Group, which helps executives transition to nonprofits, says the field will need 640,000 new senior managers by 2016
- Bridgespan reported 24,000 vacancies for leaders of nonprofits in 2009
- Career changers with nonprofit degrees or certificates can expect to earn $20,000 to $40,000 more than colleagues lacking similar credentials, according to the Association of Fundraising Professionals
- Although nonprofit chief executives' salaries vary significantly, they earn an average of $115,000, up to nearly $1 million for major foundations

Bob Dylan's 1985 interview on the ABC – TV show 20/20.
I believe the interviewer's name is Bob Brown. I include the voice-over (v/o) statements of the show, in order to fairly provide the context of what was a highly edited segment on a magazine program, and also because assertions are sometimes made during the voice-overs that seem to refer to things that Dylan said during the interview, but which we are not shown on camera. Decisions on where to paragraph things are of-course my own.
Throughout, various footage was inserted by ABC; mainly musical clips. I only refer to them when it seems necessary for continuity's sake. The entire segment was a little over 15 minutes.I'm confident about this transcription, which I made from a digitized file of the show which is in circulation amongst collectors, but if anyone thinks I mis-heard any words, do let me know.
So here it is:
Opening credits over the promotional video for "When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky."
ABC: Do your children have an idea of what you meant?
BD: I think so, on some kind of level, but, when I was growing up – say in the fifties – the thirties to me didn't even exist. I couldn't even imagine them in any kind of way, so I don't expect anyone growing up now is gonna even understand what the sixties were all about, anymore than I could the thirties or twenties.
ABC v/o: Dylan's lyrics summarized the times with enormous influence. For this 1969 appearance at England's Isle Of Wight music festival, spectators included Ringo Starr, John Lennon and George Harrison of the Beatles. (footage rolls)
Voice of Kurt Loder: Well, the cliche is that he speaks for his generation, that he's the voice of a generation, so (ABC v/o: Kurt Loder is a senior editor of Rolling Stone Magazine).
Kurt Loder continues: Popular music – popular culture – seemed to have no relationship to anything really human. Then you have Bob Dylan come along and he's singing in this strange voice and this real loud rock'n' roll and he's actually talking about things, about how repressed everything is now, and how stifled people are, and you say "yeah, that's exactly how I felt, why couldn't I put it like that?" And that breakthrough is something that never be taken away from him and it's really made a tradition of its own in pop music to communicate with people directly like that.
ABC v/o: Even when they were new, it seemed as if some of Dylan's songs had been with us forever. Blowing In The Wind became an anthem of the civil rights' movement. And like all balladeers, he wrote first person accounts of relationships, and the roads that they take. Among the generation that followed him, millions adopted The Times They Are A' Changin' as a manifesto to a system they protested. His lyrics were studied and analyzed as poetry. Fans waited for what he would say next – what he would do next. Hardcore supporters were sometimes outraged when he changed his music from folk to rock or rock to country. His rhymes, his reclusive life, his changing appearance, added to the mystery.
In 1979 Dylan took the most dramatic and controversial turn of his career: to born-again Christianity, reflected in songs like Shot Of Love, and performances with an evangelical fervor. He believes in the resurrection, he says, but he also delved intensely into his own religious heritage: Orthodox Judaism. Spiritual messages are still present in some of his music. But he has also returned to the popular mainstream: to Rock'n'Roll. Said one writer: "Any attempt to tie him down, musically or lyrically, is bound to fail."
BD: I used to think it's better if you just live and die and no one knows who you are.
ABC v/o: From the beginning, Dylan, now 44 years old, has shied away from publicity, granting few print interviews, never agreeing to television network news interview until now. We spoke with him on a hillside, and on his estate in Malibu, California, where the wind blew in from the Pacific, just below his house. Because the mythology surrounding Dylan has been so embroiled in change and controversy, it was interesting to find him low-key, cordial, soft-spoken.
ABC: Depending on how your music has evolved, there have been people who've actually got angry, because they felt it had changed. Did that ever bother you?
BD: Well, it's always disappointing, you know, when people decide for one reason or another that they don't like your work anymore, but uh, you know, it's just one of those things. You can't try to please people in that kinda way, because then you're just going to be doing – you'll never live it down, y'know it'll always be dogging you around – you might be being a fake about the whole thing.
ABC: So it's sort of a no-win situation, I guess …?
BD: It's not important what other people call you. If you yourself know you're a fake, that's tougher to live with.
ABC: Is "protest song" an accurate description of some of the things you were doing?
BD: Yeah. Um, I guess so, but the real protest songs were written mainly in the thirties and forties – "Which Side Are You On," mining type songs, union kind of songs – that's where the protest movement developed from. There's still a strain of that type of thing in what I do – it's just more broad now. (dog barks in background)
ABC: Do you view the lyrics that you write as poetry?
(apparent cut, then:) BD: I always felt the need for that type of rhyme to say any type of thing that you wanted to say, but then again, I don't know if I call myself a poet or not. I would like to, but I'm not really qualified, I think, to make that decision, because I come in on such a back door, that I don't know what a, y'know, a Robert Frost or a Keats or a T.S. Eliot would really think of my stuff. (another apparent cut, then:) It's more of a visual type of thing for me. I can picture the color of the song, or the shape of it, or who it is that I'm trying to appeal to, in the song, and what I'm trying to, almost, reinforce my feelings for. And um, I know that sounds sort of vague and abstract, but I've got a handle on it when I'm doing it.
ABC v/o: He first began to attact notice in New York's Greenwich Village in 1961 when he performed at a place called "Gerde's Folk City." In those early years, he was developing a style of phrasing his lyrics that would become a Dylan trademark.
Listen for the emphasis he places on the syllables in his lines – then for the way he strings out the sounds in a phrase, almost reciting them (followed by a clip of Dylan singing "To Ramona" in the early 1960s).
BD: The phrasing I stumbled into. Some of the old folk singers used to phrase things in an interesting way, and then, I got my style from seeing a lot of outdoor-type poets, who would recite their poetry. When you don't have a guitar, you recite things differently, and there used to be quite a few poets in the jazz clubs, who would recite with a different type of attitude.
ABC v/o: Among those poets: Allen Ginsburg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, two of Dylan's friends. Listen to this recording of Ferlinghetti, and you can hear a strong resemblance to the style Dylan developed (followed by clip of Ferlinghetti reciting his poetry, which is turn followed by a clip of Dylan singing "Hard Rain" from the 1970s' Rolling Thunder tour).
ABC v/o continues:
This vision of a nuclear apocalypse, A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall, began as folk ballad Dylan wrote during the Cuban missile crisis.
Although Dylan has made powerful protest statements, and people have expected him to speak out for change, he has personal doubts about how politically effective those statements can be.
BD (joined in mid-statement): No, people can change things and make a difference. Uh, there's a lot of false prophets around though, and that's the trouble. People say they think they know what's right and other people get people to follow them because they have a certain type of charisma, and there's always people willing to take over, y'know, people want a leader. And y'know, there will be more and more of them.
ABC: There have been times when born-again Christianity, Orthodox Judaism, both those were important to you?
BD: Yeah.
ABC: Or is it a broader thing for you?
BD: No. I want to figure out what's happening, you know? And ah, so I did look into it all.
ABC: Did it make life easier?
BD: Not necessarily.
ABC: Did it make it clearer?
BD: Definitely made it clearer. (apparent cut, then:) This is a place where you have to work certain things out.
ABC: What is it you do have to work out?
BD: Well, you have to work out where your place is. And who you are. But we're all spirit. That's all we are, we're just walking dressed up in a suit of skin, and we're going to leave that behind.
ABC v/o: Dylan says he believes there will be a new beginning, a Messianic Kingdom eventually. In these times through his music, he continues to add his voice to the causes that artists in the '80s are taking up with their songs. Most recently, Dylan sang on an anti-apartheid record called, "Sun City."
It features a collection of artists protesting policies in South Africa, dubbed together this month in a New York recording studio. Dylan was also one of the unmistakable voices on the "We Are The World" recording for African famine relief. Producer Quincy Jones wanted a sample of Dylan's unique phrasing, and when there was some question as to exactly what Jones was after, Dylan fan Stevie Wonder sat at a piano to coach Dylan's reading.
Stevie Wonder in interview clip: So I was basically saying to him, hey, I have a love and respect for you, and more so to just loosen the situation up. Which it did, 'cos he did an incredible job.
ABC: How did you phrase the line for him?
Stevie Wonder: It's almost like kind of the minister poet. It's very unique.
(Followed by clip of Wonder singing at his keyboard and apparently imitating Dylan, in turn followed by clip of Dylan singing his phrase from the USA For Africa record.)
ABC v/o: Dylan supported the cause for African famine relief, but not without a kind of spiritual fatalism about it.
BD: People buying a song and the money going to starving people in Africa is, you know, a worthwhile idea, but I wasn't so convinced about the message of the song, to tell you the truth. I don't think people can save themselves, y'know.
ABC: Save themselves, in any sorta …?
BD: Yeah, I just don't, I don't agree with that type of thing.*
ABC v/o: But there's still a sense of immediacy in Dylan's approach to problems. He provided the inspiration for this artists' benefit, Farm Aid, when he suggested at the Live Aid famine relief concert that some of the money raised should go to farmers (clip of Farm Aid is playing).
Although people still search for meanings in his songs, the message in one of his newest is simply, "Trust Yourself."
And almost as if to deflate the myths made out of him, Dylan's lyrics also read, "Don't trust me to show you the truth."
BD: I like the fans, but I don't feel an obligation that I have to be an example to them, like say maybe a baseball player would, or a football player or maybe some other type of musicians. I don't feel I have to really set an example that somebody else has to live up to.
ABC: What kind of beliefs do you have in yourself to write the kinds of songs you write?
BD: Ahh, not really a belief. I have very little belief in myself to do anything. I just pull it off, y'know, and it's amazing to me that I do.
ABC v/o: At the end of the summer, before the Farm Aid concert, Dylan was on an empty motion picture soundstage, for a rehearsal that at times turned into a kind of jam session with a popular rock band called Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers. When the other musicians took a break, we asked Dylan if he'd do one of his older songs – whatever song he chose. He thought for a moment, and then, this artist who has both angered and inspired his followers, whose doubts may go hand-in-hand with his convictions, chose a song from 1974 that was a kind of prayer when he first recorded it. He was joined unrehearsed by the keyboardist and vocal group. The song is "Forever Young." (followed by Dylan playing electric guitar and singing a part of that song with his backing singers, which is the end of the piece).

*Note: The line Dylan sang in that Jackson/Richie composition was: "There's a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives /It's true we make a better day, just you and me." More on that subject here.

UCAA worked closely with the
colleges to host more than 1,000
alums for our annual Alumni
Weekend and Reunions in May.
May's "Bearcats at the Ballpark,"
UCAA's annual UC day with the
Reds, was attended by 1,013
members of the UC family and
included a variety of UC festivities
throughout the evening,
highlighted by the ceremonial
first pitch delivered by UC
Clermont Dean Gregory Sojka.
UCAA organized a City of
Cincinnati Alumni Luncheon at
City Hall in June, meeting with 75
alumni who work for the City of
Cincinnati. UCAA co-organized
and co-hosted the event with
Deputy City Manager and UCAA
Board member Scott Stiles (DAAP
alums also heard from
Councilwoman and UC alumna
Yvette Simpson (Law '04).
The UC Distinguished Alumni
Celebration (formerly UC Day
Celebration) was held in June
and drew a record crowd of 365,
including a guest presentation by
former Ohio Gov. Bob Taft, a UC
alum. The annual event honored
a slate of five outstanding alumni
with the UCAA's top alumni
awards: Tom Humes, Bus '71, A&S
'77 (
William Howard Taft Medal

traditional parade, followed by a
campus-wide pep rally, on Friday
night (drawing a few thousand
people collectively), allowing for
all other game-day festivities to
take place downtown on Saturday
drawing about 40,000). UCAA
worked with media sponsor Cincy
Magazine to create a special
supplement carrying the UC
and Homecoming messages;
that supplement was targeted
primarily toward Cincinnati's
business leaders to further
leverage the dynamics and
unique opportunities of the game

that connected with the local YP
segment, including a sold-out bus
trip to Keeneland in Lexington,
Ky.; a presentation with Cincinnati
City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld
a YP himself ); and the launch
of monthly YP Happy Hour
networking events in downtown
Cincinnati. Collectively, dedicated
YP events drew 290 alums.

Re "CEO to workers: If Obama wins, I'll lay you off" (Tribune, Oct. 12):
How to begin: such hubris, arrogance, hypocrisy, extortion, intimidation, coercion!
David Siegel, the CEO mogul of Westgate Park City Resort and Spa, send a letter to all his employees threatening their jobs if Barack Obama gets re-elected. "My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed, and with it, so will your opportunities," he claimed.
"The economy doesn't currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job, however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration," he continued, defending the super-rich and himself.
This is what the middle class and workers of America have to look forward to if the Republicans win this election.
The 2 percenters might offer you a job, but at what price? Think back just a generation or two and remember the wonderful working conditions of factory workers, miners, even public employees.
Their control doesn't stop with just directing employees for whom to vote!

COUN PAUL DOUGHTY'S letter of December 5 shows yet again why the Conservatives can't be trusted to run the city.
Like their friends in government, they simply do not understand the nature of public investment. The return on arts spending, according to the Government's own figures, is around £4 for every £1 of public money spent.
A floating arts centre would attract more people (including local residents) to the river, a part of the city that is often neglected, and they will spend money in shops, cafés and hotels as a result.
Where private funding needs topping up to make a project happen, that's a sensible use of money. If the Tories had their way, we would cut everything, making York a dull and miserable place for locals and visitors alike.
You have only to look at the state of the economy, after two and half a years of Tory inspired cuts, to see the results of this Gradgrind approach.

A Precis on Landscapes
de A. Zevi Thomas
Acerca del libro
Today terms like sustainability, green economy and smart growth have become part of the popular lexicon. This increased consciousness should ostensibly herald a new paradigm with regard to public spaces fundamentals of urban form. Such growing awareness, coupled with flourishing urbanization, demands designers and planners re-examine proven schemas of place-making, as well as, novel visioning to address the challenges this societal and material circumstances stipulate.

Zero testing
By 'zero testing' I mean the problem of deciding whether a given numerical
quantity is exactly equal to zero. Often Mathematica doesn't make
necessary checks at all:
a = Pi/4; b = I*Log[-(-1)^(3/4)];
Limit[(a - b)/x, x -> 0]
Integrate[1/((x - a)*(x - b)), x]
Integrate[1/(x - b), {x, 0, 1}]
DirectedInfinity[Pi - (4*I)*Log[-(-1)^(3/4)]]
(-4*((-2*I)*ArcTan[Log[-(-1)^(3/4)]/x] - 2*Log[Pi - 4*x] + Log[16*(x^2
+ Log[-(-1)^(3/4)]^2)]))/(2*Pi - (8*I)*Log[-(-1)^(3/4)])
((-I)*Pi - (2*I)*ArcTan[Log[-(-1)^(3/4)]] - Log[Log[-(-1)^(3/4)]^2]
+ Log[1 + Log[-(-1)^(3/4)]^2])/2
The constants a and b are equal to each other. We can see that Out[2] is
incorrect because it is equal to ComplexInfinity and the limit of 0/x is
0; Out[3] is also equal to ComplexInfinity (the denominator is zero) and
therefore wrong as well; finally, Out[4] is incorrect because the integral
doesn't converge.
A variation of the same problem is when we're numerically evaluating a
discontinuous function for an argument close to a discontinuity point. In
those cases Mathematica does perform necessary checks but handles more
complicated cases incorrectly, especially when the branch cuts are
Sign[Im[Sqrt[-1 - 10^-18*I]]]
((1 + I*(-167594143/78256779 + Pi))^4)^(1/2)
(1 + I*(-167594143/78256779 + Pi))^2
In fact In[5] is equal to -1 and In[6] is equal to -(1
+ I*(-167594143/78256779 + Pi))^2. In the last case we do not even apply
any functions, the error is in the automatic simplifications. Sometimes
setting a high value for $MinPrecision helps, but here it doesn't have any
effect either.

After last season's dismal 1-9 performance, the Marana Tigers have plenty of room for improvement as they prepare to hit the gridiron this year.
"We need to work harder and be a better focused team," said Coach Anthony Coronado. "But, most importantly, we have to work together. Our kids have responded. We have had a very good summer. Our attitude and effort has been really good."
The Tigers got right to work last week, going through six-hour practice sessions. The players went back and forth between the weight-room, classroom and the field, where Coronado said athletes were trying become acclimated to the 100-degree temperatures.
During classroom work on Aug. 2, Offensive Coordinator Marty Honea told the players it would be important to stay hydrated in the coming weeks.
Honea also worked with players on picking up the blitz, which will be key to surviving the tough division in which the Tigers will be playing.
The Tigers' coaches are already worried about some questions remaining on the offensive line.
"We are going to have to ask some young men to change positions to help and strengthen the team in some spots," said Coronado.
While it's still early in the season, Coronado said the Tigers are in good shape, with a lot of talented players returning to fill some key positions.
Three-year starter Michael Susa is one of those key veteran players. The offensive and defensive lineman has worked throughout the summer to prepare for the gridiron.
Joining Susa are fellow seniors Derek Wengert, Solomon Stokes, Tanner Morse, Addin Soto and Cameron Vissers.
Wengert will go from playing free safety to help stop the run on the line.
Stokes is said to have a good attitude as he learns a new position at linebacker.
Tanner, also a three-year starter, has been a solid member of the defense for the last two seasons and has lead the team in interceptions.
Coronado described Vissers as the most consistent player on last season's defense.
Besides a strong group of seniors, Coronado said the Tigers' strengths in the new season also center around playing as a team.
"More than anything, it is our attitudes that are our strength right now," he said. "The kids are working together, and they recognize that this season is about them staying together."
Coronado is also excited about two new promising players being added to the roster.
Gene Knepper, a senior, is preparing for his first season in football.
"He is a good-size player with good strength," said Coronado. "This is his senior year, and he has not played before, but he is an athlete that will really be an impact for us."
Another new addition is senior Zach Henderson. Henderson, a baseball player, decided to play football in his final year in high school. He will be a wide receiver on offense, and a defensive back on defense.
"He changes the dynamic of the offense when he is in," said Coronado. "He has great hands."
The Tigers will open the season on Aug. 26, hosting inner-district opponent Mountain View High School.
Just like the Tigers, the Mountain View Lions are looking to improve on last season's losing record.

Apr 18, 2012 - Marsha Ileman, RivertonEditor:
In response to the previous letter to the editor about the punishment for the school teacher accused of a sexual offense, I think the same could be said about the adult woman who pleaded guilty at around the same time to having intercourse with underage boys she found on the Internet.
By that I mean, can you imagine the total uproar there would have been if this had been a man of 36 years of age who had enticed two eighth-grade girls into intercourse? I would imagine that most people here would have said no punishment was too harsh.
Because the adult was a woman and the victims were boys, I wonder if she got a lighter treatment from the court than would have been the case the other way around.
I guess we will never know, and I hope there is never a case in the future where we will have the occasion to see for ourselves.

What about this price for a Mossberg 935 Magnum Autoloader?
In my many visits to my local Wal-Mart in search of some ever-elusive 45ACP rounds, I noticed they have in their gun case a bad-a$$ looking 12-gauge Mossberg 935 Magnum Autoloader (model 81000 or 81001), replete with shoulder strap, 3" to 3-1/2" 5-shell capacity. 10-gauge bore, and menacing black color.
Price? A mere $397!!! I've checked and re-checked and it's for real! If I hadn't just bought my 500 Persuader I'd be all over this Bad Boy.
Is this deal as fantastic as it sounds? Mossberg's own web site says it should be $613. Just imagine - a semi-automatic 12G shotgun. Imagine this too: since it's Wal-Mart and in Virginia, then I can walk in, and then walk out 45 minutes later with this Mossberg and a gallon of milk!! BWAHAHAHAHAAA!.....:D
If I were into semis, or if I joined a club to shoot clays/skeet, I'd buy that!
I'm a mossberg fan. :)
I too was confused on the gauge. I'd pick it up regardless of gauge. :)
It's a 12 gauge gun, but it has a 10 gauge barrel bore. Here is what Mossberg's web site says about the feature:
"935 Magnum Overbore (.775) vs. Standard 12 Gauge Bore (.731). For superior pattern performance and reduced felt recoil, each 935 barrel (left) is overbored to 10 gauge bore dimensions." :cool:
Ok, I understand. It is not for HD, it is for skeet/trap or game. I don't want a wide pattern when protecting my family. Tight patterns are better for defense.
The pattern won't be wide until it gets out there a ways.
I just like the tighter patterns is all. Preference. :)
Still if that shotgun is priced like that, I'd start to wonder why. Heck of a price, but maybe not good for cold weather?
Holy Cats! - Here is a youtube clip of a guy shooting this 935. He couldn't keep it aimed, but this clip IS impressive!
Just think......$397 for that capability........................................ .....
If I had fo-hundy to spare...err...that I could justify the need to have one, I would most likely jump on that. :D
