20 x 16 inches acrylic and ink on board 2015
Inspired by our trip to the desert parks of Utah earlier this month, Dan did a sketch of a sandstone arch that resembled two lovers embracing. I liked the sketch and ran with it to make this painting. The whole time we were in Utah we couldn't believe how unreal the scenery of the Colorado Plateau was. We kept thinking that Moebius must have been inspired by these places, so this painting is definitely a bit of an homage to the French bandes dessinées master as well as to the mind bending grandeur of this desert landscape. If you ever have the chance to go to Utah - DO IT!
We sent this painting off to Detroit for the LAX/DTW exhibition being curated by Thinkspace Gallery. The exhibition, featuring over 80 artists, is being held at Innerstate Gallery and runs June 6th through July 4th, 2015.

The European Union (EU) has topped the United States in broadband penetration, according to a report issued this morning by the European Commission (EC) that assesses the state of information and communication technology (ICT) growth under the so-called "i2010" program launched by the EC in 2005.
"The European broadband market is developing rapidly and already outstrips that of the United States," the EC wrote. It estimated some 99.2 million broadband lines in the EC, compared with 81.6 million in the United States and Canada combined, and 43.1 million in Japan and South Korea together. In 2007, the number of regular active Internet users in Europe rose by 40 million, to a total of 250 million.
"It is a welcome change of political direction that today, ICT, the main driver of European growth, is being promoted by all 27 EU Member States in their national policies. This helps Europe compete internationally and modernizes the daily lives of Europeans," comments EU Commissioner for Information Society and Media Viviane Reding. "It is especially good news that 77 percent of EU businesses, 67 percent of schools and 48 percent of doctors are now benefiting from fast broadband connections."
Ticking off Europe's broadband achievements, in its report the EC says more than 96 percent of European schools now are connected to the Internet -- two-thirds of them to broadband, up from almost zero in 2001. In the health sector, 57 percent of doctors now send or receive patient data, up from 17 percent in 2002, with 46 percent of them receiving results from laboratories electronically, up from only 11 percent in 2002. Some 77 percent of EU businesses had a broadband connection in 2007, up from 62 percent in 2005, and 77 percent use the Internet for dealing with banks, up from 70 percent in 2005.
Still, the EC found the pattern of Internet and broadband usage varies widely from country to country. Nearly 40 percent of Europeans don't use the Internet at all, the EC noted, with the lowest usage in Romania (69 percent are unconnected), Bulgaria (65 percent unconnected) and Greece (62 percent unconnected). In contrast, only 13 percent of the populations in Denmark and The Netherlands are unconnected, and those countries also are two of the Top Three in EU broadband penetration, at 35.6 percent and 34.2 percent, respectively.
In its report, the EC also warned, "There are now some signs of fatigue: growth in penetration is slowing down, and there are increasing gaps between Member States in terms of take-up, speed, price and coverage. Bandwidth requirements are on the rise and, although speeds are developing similarly to those in the United States, the migration to high-speed broadband in the EU is sluggish."
"Investment in next-generation networks is not going ahead as quickly as Europe needs," the EC lamented. In hopes of rectifying the situation and encouraging NGNs, this year it is going to "clarify the regulatory provisions for next-generation access."

Contrary to what Ken Justice suggests (Letters, "Adequate school funding will help address poverty," Feb. 1), additional money for helpers in classrooms won't solve the problem of high school dropouts.

Instead, some students cause so much noise in their classrooms that students who want to learn and listen to the teacher can't do so.

Winders: Media wrapping their own in a flag
Maybe Niki Scott thought about Bob Woodruff last week. But I'm guessing she didn't.
Shipp: Legislators' loyalties are with lobbyists
What's wrong with Georgians? Why aren't we fighting mad and ready to march on the Gold Dome?
Tant: Bush proof that anyone can become the president
Impeach Bush? Absolutely! And don't forget - you read it here first, folks. The Oct. 4, 2003 edition of this column mentioned a couple of organizations that had formed to press for the impeachment of President George W. Bush in the wake of his administration's deadly war of choice in Iraq.
Thompson: 'Promise' no answer to disparity among schools
If this were the best of all possible worlds, it would be possible to see Senate Bill 473 as the noble gesture its sponsors want you to believe it is.
What others say
Standing up to eminent domain
Bestwick: Many ex-UGA players played in Super Bowl
As the NFL playoffs got underway, I noticed 24 former University of Georgia Bulldogs would be on the rosters of nine of the 12 playoff teams - 13 with the American Football Conference and 11 with the National Football Conference. It was interesting to note the only teams which didn't have a former Bulldog on their roster - Chicago, New York and Indianapolis - lost their first playoff games. It appears a "lack of Dawgs" might replace the Sports Illustrated cover as the worst jinx that can be put on a team.
Pitts: A legacy gets tangled up in commercialism
I interviewed Coretta Scott King once. It cost $5,000.
Goodman: Baby boomers should understand it's only rock 'n' roll
In retrospect, it was the perfect way to begin The Year The Baby Boomers Turned Sixty. After all, the audience for the Rolling Stones concert was divided roughly into two demographics:
Swift sanctions needed in death of UGA student
Here's what University of Georgia President Michael Adams knows:
Freeman ties Hab Central
MOUNT AIRY - Madison County freshman Courtney Freeman not only recorded a double-double Friday, but she also equaled the point total of host Habersham Central as the Lady Red Raiders earned a 59-37 Region 8-AAAA North victory.
Jefferson qualifies 14 grapplers for state
SOCIAL CIRCLE - The defending Class A state wrestling champion Jefferson Dragons moved one step closer to their sixth consecutive traditional state title Saturday by qualifying 14 grapplers for next weekend's state finals at the Arena at Gwinnett Center.
Ashley, Lady Warriors dash to victory
WATKINSVILLE - Two minutes into the game, Erica Ashley had made two open 3-pointers. From that point, Winder-Barrow's zone defense gave her more attention.
Coach to be nominated
Nick Saltaformaggio will replace Neal Auer as Oconee County's next football coach, pending the Oconee County Board of Education's.
Steady at the stripe
Jarail Rakestraw's blazing quickness on defense helped No. 6 Jefferson build a huge lead. But when the junior paused, took a breath and released during a deafening roar, he hurt No. 9 Athens Academy even more on Friday.
Alexander resigns after one season
The Monroe Area football team will be playing for its third coach in as many years.
Glads' Ryals brings smiles
Rhetorical questions usually have predetermined answers. But the query posed by Clarke Central football coach Leroy Ryals had an open answer - and a delayed response.
No way Mueller will slow
HEERENVEEN, Netherlands - A wry smile creased the ruddy, rugged face of Peter Mueller when he assessed his life in a handful of words: "Never a dull moment. That's for sure."
Home away from home
DETROIT - For a decade, the people of Pittsburgh have embraced a Detroiter and called him one of their own.
A super promotion
The wake-up call wasn't exactly rude. More like hurtful.
Polly earns state soccer honor
Drew Polly is in the home stretch of earning his Ph.D. in instructional technology at Georgia, but during his three-plus years in Athens, he's managed to find time to serve as a coach for the Athens United Soccer Association.
Pittsburgh: The Fast facts
Pittsburgh'S Ben Roethlisberger played only one season at quarterback for his high school football team in Findlay, Ohio. Roethlisberger played two seasons as a wide receiver while coach Cliff Hite's son, Ryan, played quarterback. Roethlisberger, who still prefers basketball, holds the school's basketball scoring record with 1,095 points.
Caputo ready to start
Frank Caputo wanted to coach at Jackson County eight years ago. Principal Robin Hines needed a coach less than 30 days ago.
Woods joins Hansen atop the leaderboard
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Maybe shaving the goatee had something to do with it.
Georgia's Frazier gets sportsmanship award
MADISON, Wis. - Georgia junior Natalie Frazier received the United States Tennis Association Sportsmanship Award Saturday at the USTA-ITA National Women's Team Indoor Championship.
Atlanta's win streak stopped
WASHINGTON - Antawn Jamison had 27 points and 15 rebounds as the Washington Wizards snapped the Atlanta Hawks' three-game winning streak with a 98-85 victory Saturday night.
Birdies power Henry
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - J.J. Henry birdied a tournament-record seven holes in a row en route to a 10-under-par 61 Friday and a four-stroke lead halfway through the FBR Open.
Seattle: The Fast facts
NFC teams are 8-3 in Super Bowls inside covered stadiums. The Superdome, which the NFL pledged $20 million to help rebuild after Hurricane Katrina, has hosted six Super Bowls.
Championship drought dates to 1957 season
DETROIT - The Detroit Lions used to be good.
Seattle: The numbers
0 0: Coaches to have won Super Bowls with two teams; Seattle's Mike Holmgren hopes to become the first tonight.
No bones about it: skeleton coach fired
U.S. skeleton coach Tim Nardiello was fired by the sport's national federation for ignoring orders to stay away from the team during its final Olympic preparations.
When the Seahawks have the ball
RB Shaun Alexander led the league with 1,880 yards rushing, set a league record with 28 touchdowns and was voted the NFL's MVP. He will carry on about 85 percent of the runs, with Maurice Morris as a capable backup. FB Mack Strong, a former Georgia standout, made the Pro Bowl for the first time in a 13-year career and broke a 32-yard run to help beat the Redskins.
Magill: Haynes makes a big impact in Pittsburgh
This week, while playing tennis with Jim Donnan, we discussed the outstanding play this season of several of his former Georgia players, three of who, again are Pro Bowl bound: Cornerback Champ Bailey (Denver) and defensive ends Marcus Stroud (Jacksonville) and Richard Seymour (New England).
Coaching and intangibles
Pittsburgh's Bill Cowher and Seattle's Mike Holmgren have the longest continuous coaching tenures in the league. Both started in 1992 - Cowher with the Steelers and Holmgren with Green Bay. Holmgren took the Packers to two Super Bowls, winning after the 1996 season and losing the following year. He moved on to Seattle as coach and general manager in 1999, but now is only the coach.
Johnston: A good day to be a Seahawks fan
At some point as a child, my loyalties took a strange turn.
When the Steelers have the ball
It's almost always about running in Pittsburgh. But QB Ben Roethlisberger, below, is looking more like Terry Bradshaw every week. After throwing five interceptions in two playoff games as a rookie last season, he has just one in three games this year to go with seven touchdown passes. Pittsburgh has passed to set up the run.
Aikman in, Irvin left out
DETROIT - Troy Aikman and Warren Moon shared a warm embrace. John Madden nearly cried. Rayfield Wright stopped in midsentence to steady his voice.
Pittsburgh: The numbers
00: Six-seeds to reach the Super Bowl before Pittsburgh did so this season. The Steelers won three straight road games to make today's big game.
Hawks in rare air after win
ATLANTA - The Atlanta Hawks have been claiming they are a better team than they have shown. Slowly, their record is starting to support the claim.
Showdown in Motown
Oh yeah, football. All the tributes to Jerome Bettis are done. The war of words between Joey Porter and Jerramy Stevens is over. The Rolling Stones and Motown greats will sing in harmony, and the purveyors of doom - blizzards, traffic jams, a bleak setting - have been silenced by good weather and good vibes from the locals.
UGA death brings attention to alcohol, drug abuse
From grade school to college to the emergency room, young people who are looking to alcohol or drugs for entertainment or escape are frightening professionals who treat these students.
Another surrenders in UGA death
A man wanted on a felony charge of possessing heroin in connection with the drug and alcohol-related death of a University of Georgia freshman surrendered at the Clarke County Jail on Friday, two days after UGA police announced a warrant for his arrest.
Injured Dogs on road back
Angel Robinson and Rebecca Rowsey have a lot in common.

Best Of :: People & Places
When you're a kid who just wants to rock, there is absolutely nothing worse than a guitar (or whatever instrument) instructor who wants to make you learn their favorite songs. In fact, we'd probably be crazy-skilled on the piano if we hadn't had to learn "Big Swiss Horn" and "Heart and Soul" instead of songs that truly inspired us. That sort of thing is why musician Marc Solomon created his school of rock. It's one that employs energetic, exciting teachers (you'll most likely have seen them in bands about town) who actually listen to the goals of their young pupils. It's one that teaches the Who, Springsteen, Black Sabbath and the worthy vestiges of new rock. It's also one that's grown so popular that Solomon and wife/business partner Mary Armstrong had to move to a larger space earlier this year. Zounds-Sounds offers rock shows instead of stuffy recitals and, even cooler, a chance for parents to throw up the rock horns right next to, or in support of, their kids.
There is a place in Dallas called Redmansor The Redmans or Redmans Lodge or a host of other monikersthat is legendary amongst poker players. It is not terribly hard to find, should you know its general location, which we would not presume to give away here lest Dallas police read this. No, once a years quite enough for poker players, about 80 of whom were arrested or cited in June when the cast of A&Es reality show Dallas SWAT wham-bammed down the door at Aces on Irving Boulevard. They showed up well prepared that night, with full diagrams of the jointdown to the number of tables and the seat positions at each, to better keep track of the players popped for playing Texas Hold Em. The raid even received mention from the Cato Institutes Web site, which referred to the bust and others like it across the country as examples of frightening militarism. All that force used on people playing cards. Bret Maverick would not have approved.
So we will leave Redmans alone, save to say its hallowed ground for would-be rounders and wanna-be pros whove heard tales of T.J. Cloutier, Doyle Brunson, Amarillo Slim Preston, David Williams and other players shoving big stacks across the famous felt. Redmans has been around forever and feels like itsmells like it, actually, its aroma that of a locker room used as an ashtray. Its as much an essential and vital piece of Dallas history as any of the citys few remaining landmarks, yet it cant be celebrated out in the open because what happens in therepeople playing cards for money, just like they do on TV seemingly 24 hours a dayremains illegal in the state.
As Kinky Friedman puts it, We invented Texas Hold Em, and we cant play it, which is true: In Texas, any game in which the house takes a cut of a winning pota rakeis considered to be breaking the law, which is why places such as Redmans exist beneath ground, its low rumble audible only to those tuned in to the frequency of the clinking of chips being stacked between flops and folds. Aces got popped because it was too out in the open, advertising its doings on the Internet. Says a friend who once sat at a table there, It was asking for it.
Yet not so long ago, many of Dallas underground poker rooms played the same loose-aggressive game. By some counts, there were about 200 card rooms in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with almost a quarter of those in the 214 or 972, and many of them posted their schedules on the Web, begging you to come buy into their low-stakes games. Now comes word that but a fraction of a fraction of them remainthree or four, says Dan Michalski, whose Pokerati blog has for several years detailed the rise and fall of poker rooms in the area. (Michalski also now runs PokerBlog.com, and for a long time he ran the Sunday-afternoon free-roll tournaments at The Lodge.)
Which means Dallas has lost some of its best roomsplaces such as the Murfield, the Platinum Room and Stagecoach, the latter of which was in northwest Dallas and boasted the big-screen sheen of any decent casino, served up a decent meal, allowed no booze, sent smokers to a private room and boasted stellar players keeping polite company (except for the son of a bitch who called my $10 raise holding nothing more than 9-2 off-suit and hit two pair on the flop). Thats not to say Dallas still doesnt have a scene; far from it. In fact, in his new book Hunting Fish: A Cross-Country Search for Americas Worst Poker Players, Jay Greenspan writes, Dallas is said to have the best underground poker scene in the country, and he visited a few spots that did little to disabuse him of that notion.
But Michalski, who was Greenspans tour guide of Dallas poker joints and receives copious mentions in the book, says theyve been replaced by underground games that are well above-groundwhich is to say, in apartment complexes and office buildings and other far-outta-the-way places that hold only two or three tables and fewer players than the old-fashioned card rooms populated by rounders up to their asses in cards and other rounders.
The scene is clearly back, Michalski says. The games still exist, theyve just gone more underground, and theyve gone small. You have a lot of three-table rooms where someones rented out a loft. I just got an e-mail today that says the Platinum Room is back. It doesnt say where the location is, and thats because theres also a tougher screening process. Indeed, only a year ago all you needed was to know a places location to buy into a game; today, youre invited by e-mail, given a contact number and usually only if you know somebody connected to the game.
Theyre calling them home games now, Michalski says. The truth is, theyre still taking rakes and making money. But theyre treating them like home games, as opposed to these people who were actively promoting and throwing big tournaments. Trust me, the scene is fine and dandy.
So, somebody deal me in, already. Robert Wilonsky
Kids these days. Always listening to that goldurned rap music. Drinking their mojitos and wearing them dee-signer jeans. Getting "crunk." Back in our day, there weren't no "crunk." There was two-steppin' and Wranglers and ice-cold Lone Star. That's why we like Cowboys Red River. You could call an over-decorated, under-air-conditioned room filled with 20-somethings rubbing together butt-to-crotch a dance club. But you'd be wrong, pardner. You'd do better to call a place where people go to dance a dance club. Cowboys Dance Hall is just such a place. There's just nothing like a giant warehouse with an expansive, round dance floor and a live honky-tonk band to get our boot heels a-tappin'. We'll go round and round with the "Cotton-Eyed Joe" or wow our lady friend with a mean schottische. Then, we'll do her right and buy her a beer and a shot o' whiskey from the bar. After that she'll be ready for a go on Cowboys' mechanical bull. And then, if we're lucky, a ride of a different kind. You know how the saying goes, right? Save a horse...
Though we generally prefer eBay or craigslist when it comes to purchasing our axes, we do venture to Guitar Center on Central from time to time for the little things--strings, tuners, cables, etc. Without fail we always see: A) at least one complete emo band loitering in the parking lot, B) at least one past or present member of [DARYL] or the Deathray Davies, and C) some dude playing a slightly off-kilter rendition of a riff from either a Stevie Ray Vaughan or a Red Hot Chili Peppers song--sometimes we can't even tell which one; we only know that it's most likely one of the two.
For more than a quarter-century The Round-Up Saloon has been one of Dallas' premier purveyors of country and western music, dancing and good times for good folks. Although classified as a gay bar, this popular watering hole welcomes those of all genders and persuasions, and any given night will give testimony that all types are present and all feel welcome. The Round-Up features all genres of country music, including old country, new/old remakes, young country and even crossover country. In short, the range of music offers styles, speeds and tastes to satisfy all. Nearly as rangy as the Ponderosa, this large club features six different bars and areas certain to provide the desired atmosphere to comfortably lip a long-neck (read that however you like). New shows and special events are scheduled frequently to ensure things keep hopping and hooting. Regular beer busts (50 cent draft!), karaoke, free dance lessons and Friday and Saturday Howdy Hour are popular mainstays here.
Every night we dine at this Oak Cliff institution we're treated to the best atmosphere of any Mexican joint in Dallas, complete with a roster of the city's finest mariachis. The fervent strumming of guitars, voices raised in perfect harmony, the sound of twin trumpets ringing off the tile--it's the next best thing to San Antonio, only you don't have to drive five hours and fight the River Walk crowds. On our last visit we even caught a touring act, an amplified band complete with twin saxophones, keyboard bass and a guy who had the sole responsibility of playing the hi-hat on the offbeat--with his hand.

Insect Community Structure
Phone: (707) 826-3676
Office: Science A 360A
Email: email@example.com
Personal Website:N/A
My interests focus upon insect ecology at community and ecosystem scales. I'm interested in insect assemblage structure, how external forces influence insect community structure, especially anthropogenic land use and disturbance, and how insect community structure influences ecosystem processes such as organic detritus processing and nutrient mobilization. I approach these questions on several fronts, including forest canopy insect ecology, forest soil microarthropods, and freshwater macroarthropod ecology. I am also interested in developing site-specific biomonitoring protocols in Northern California.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/UnNews:Girl, 10, who recieved hippopotamus for Christmas, stomped to death
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit UnNews:Girl, 10, who recieved hippopotamus for Christmas, stomped to death
The article is for people who know the song, or at least have the sense of mind to listen to it. Plzkthx. --KnaveOfWonderland 00:22, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
| This raptor is guarding this article while his master, Iwillkillyou333 is reviewing it. Be Careful! He Bites.
|I honeslty think that this is one heck of a awesome article. However theres a few things I think you shoul add. For example, since the image shows her being sat on by a Hippopotamus, instead of saying she was stomped on by it, maybe say it sat on her, thinking she was a chair. And maybe she sang that song so much Santa finally gave her one. And what happen to the hippopatumus himself? Was he returned to Africa or became hippo burgers? And for people who dont know the song, its best to put a link below sources However Thats up to you.
|A nice parody of the famous song "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" makes this concept FTW
|Prose and formatting:
|No mistakes :)
|One, and it supports you article well, maybe one more would work, but thats up too you.
|Very Awesome
|Final Score:
|Its always best to get someone elses opinion, but i believ this is a great article. You should get it featured

pelter and Crowe, you know—devilish sharp dogs—my lawyers in town—they are regular detectives, by Jove!
Get it up here, do you mind, and let us know when Mr. pelter's room is ready.
I say, Mr. pelter, my friend Doocey wants you over there; they're at logger-heads about a law point, and I can't help them.
On the positively rainy mornings, my walk is to pelter Bridge and back.
Sir Jekyl marched Mr. pelter down the great stair again, intending to make the long journey rearward.
But pelter and Japson knew that combination, didn't they, Dick?
When they turned the offices over to me, pelter made some sarcastic remark, stating I had better have the combination changed.
"You said pelter and Japson had gone for good," continued Sam.
If pelter was rapid, decided, daring, he was also a little hand-over-hand.
Maybe he got the combination, and gave it to pelter or Japson.

Treatment of Knee Pain With Topical Diclofenac Cream 8% or Diclofenac Gel 1%

- How to Read a Study Record
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID) therapy is a mainstay treatment for joint pain and painful musculoskeletal disorders. Though this form of systemic therapy is highly effective, it causes substantial side effects including gastritis and gastric ulcer disease, renal impairment, hypertension, and thrombotic events. These types of oral medications are utilized by millions of Americans on a fairly regular basis in both over-the-counter preparations and prescription compounds. In recent years, topical preparations of NSAIDs have been used for localized pain as an alternate to oral administration with reported good analgesic efficacy. For example, they are often used for knee pain. There is little systemic absorption of NSAIDs with topical administration, and consequently less likelihood of systemic side effects.
Though much less studied than oral NSAIDs, topical NSAID preparations are currently prescribed for a variety of arthritic and musculoskeletal types of pain. The best-studied commercially available products are diclofenac 1% compounds. Higher concentrations presumably provide higher tissue concentration leading to better and longer pain relief, along with a more prominent anti-inflammatory effect.
The investigators will therefore compare the efficacy of available topical diclofenac 1% gel to that of diclofenac 8% cream. Specifically, the investigators propose to test the hypothesis that efficacy of topical diclofenac 8% exceeds that of diclofenac 1%, without any increase in systemic toxicity.
One hundred six patients presenting to the Cleveland Clinic Pain Management Department for the treatment of knee pain will be randomly assigned to topical diclofenac cream 8% or diclofenac gel 1%, with the designated medication applied the symptomatic area of the knee over 6 weeks. Investigators will be blinded to treatment, and will evaluate pain relief and functional/disability status.

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
This type of behaviors is not good for the children......it teaches them to be suspicious of everyone and to run back and fuel gossip and trouble. Sounds like mom is having trouble understanding that people do talk, that is a simple part of life and while sometimes the things said are not always nice it isn't always meant to hurt anyone.
This is very unhealthy for the boys to say the least. You may want to sit down and talk with the mother and let her know that the boys should not be used in such a manner as it is not healthy for them to consistently be used in such a way. Eventually these boys will come to resent her for this as they will begin to think that they are the cause of the problems in the family and may begin to pull back from the whole family in a attempt to stop the messaging.
If you do not feel comfortable talking to mom, consider talking to your son. Let him know this is not good for the boys and makes you uncomfortable to be around them. Explain to him that the kids should not be used as pawns in a game such as this and you do not wish to be a part of it.
You may have to sit back and only be with the kids when mom or dad is there to get your point across and show mom and dad that this is not acceptable and you will not continue with it.
I know this is hard, but the mother really needs to open her eyes and see that what she is doing is only harming her own children.

Jitterbugging in Negro juke joint, Saturday evening, outside Clarksdale, Mississippi - and - A Negro going in the Entrance for Negroes at a movie theater, Belzoni, Mississippi (pair)
Select your print and framing options
Artist Statement
Eighty-two miles of dirt roads and no more than a month's time separated two of Marion Post Wolcott's most iconic photographs. She made them in Mississippi in the fall of 1939, during one of her long solo swings through the deep South on assignment for the photographic unit of the Farm Security Administration. In the first, A Negro going in the Entrance for Negroes at a movie theater, Belzoni, Mississippi, she transformed a mundane scene into a complex composition with deeply layered meanings. The second, Jitterbugging in Negro juke joint, Saturday evening, outside Clarksdale, Mississippi, captured a moment of sheer exuberant delight. It's a much simpler image than the first, but just as powerful.
The word "iconic" is overused, but these photos are unquestionably American icons. Their beauty and visual sophistication are givens. What makes them iconic is their ability to show us deep and complementary truths about the experience of race in America. In them we can see reflections of our troubled past and present. Through them we can imagine a more democratic future.
Read John Edwin Mason's full introduction to this pair of images on our blog!
Marion Post Wolcott | See All Editions
Marion Post Wolcott is best known for the more than 9,000 photographs she produced for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) from 1938 to 1942. She was the first woman offered a full time FSA appointment. Born in Montclair, N.J. her mother, Marion "Nan" Hoyt Post, was an ardent activist for progressive causes working with Margaret Sanger the founder of Planned Parenthood.
Before Wolcott became a government photographer, she was at first a teacher. Moving to New York City in 1936 she then earned her living making photographs for magazines and newspapers. Initially she worked freelance, then as a staff photojournalist in 1937 and 1938, Wolcott broke gender barriers in the newspaper darkroom.
Then she worked for the Farm Security Administration. She covered thousands of miles of the United States with her camera to document and publicize the need for federal assistance to those hardest hit by the Great Depression and agricultural blight. Wolcott also contributed 120 color photographs to the FSA when Kodak provided early samples of Kodachrome film to the staff for experimentation.
Drawing on her social concerns and her artistic vision to illustrate issues that needed redress, Wolcott produced an extraordinary number of images and her occupation challenged many social morés about the propriety of young women living away from the family home and traveling on their own. Her artistry and perseverance have inspired many articles, books, and exhibitions.

Story and photoby by Manos Angelakis
Aquaculture has been a very ancient practice, used by the Japanese and Chinese in Asia, by the Phoenicians in the Middle East, the Romans in Europe, and the Mayans in Mesoamerica to increase fish availability irrespective of seasons and location. The cultured fish can be ornamental, as is the coi (brocaded carp) decorating Chinese and Japanese garden ponds or goldfish – decorating ponds and home aquariums in Europe and the Americas - or strictly for consumption, as in other parts of the world.
At our Lazio trip along the Sperlonga coast, we saw the fish-raising ponds at Emperor Tiberius' villa that still use brackish water (mixture of fresh and sea water) to support giant carp and eels. At our recent Ecuadorian trip, we passed by the edge of "El Cajas" National Park, high up on the Andes. Adjacent to the park is a fresh water trout farm that supplies trout to the restaurants and fish markets in Quito and Cuenca. There is also an inn and restaurant - Dos Chorreras - on site that will cook minutes-fresh trout whichever way you might want.
In Greece, aquaculture had been initially used since the very early 20th century to get the much-loved delicacy "avgotaraho" i.e. preserved fish eggs (Botarga), from fisheries in the Messolonghi Lagoon. As the pollution of the Mediterranean increased through the years, plus the unconscionable use of explosives (dynamite and grenades) after WWII for fishing depleted the salt-water fish stock to almost extinction, Greek entrepreneurs decided to start what is known as Mariculture, i.e. aquaculture in sea water. Commercial finfish farming in sea cages started in Greece in earnest in 1981, coinciding with the entry of Greece into the European Union, and was targeted mostly towards exports to Italy. Today, fresh fish from the Greek Mariculture industry is exported to the world and the United States, especially the East Coast. Overnight flights bring in gilthead bream (Dorado), sea bass (Branzino), sea bream, and large porgies, and to a lesser extent red mullet, amberjack, and trout. Immature bluefin tuna is caught in the wild, penned, and fattened prior to harvesting and dispatch to market. According to the Greek experts I spoke with, aquaculture exports have step-by-step outgrown the exports of many other traditional rural products and are currently just $35 million short of olive oil.
During a lunch organized by the Greek Trade Office in New York City in cooperation with the Federation of Greek Mariculture, at the Park Room Restaurant of the Park Lane Hotel, we had the opportunity to taste sea bream and sea bass that were flown-in the night before especially for the event; though farmed fish from Greece is flown in many times a week. Five excellent dry white wines accompanied the meal and two dessert wines finished the culinary extravaganza. Fish, whether wild caught or farmed, is not an easy meal to cook. In my experience, fish is many times overcooked in many restaurants and homes. The fish we tasted at the Park Room was properly cooked, moist, still maintaining their wild flavors even though they came from fish farms.
I personally think that the best way to prepare fish is the simplest. Just grilled (charcoal grilled is best), dressed with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley or cilantro mixed with sea salt and oregano.

Seven days on the Star: Norwegian Star Cruise Review by 4seasidegal
Overall Member Rating
Seven days on the Star
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: Los Angeles
Embarkation went smoothly but was very crowded and long lines and again the personnel were not very friendly. NCL does offer free champagne and mimosas once you actually get past all the checkpoints and are onboard. Cabins were not ready until 1:30pm but the buffet was open.
The buffet offers a large number of different foods and the quality was good. The buffet offered sushi some days. We mostly ate at the Versailles Restaurant which is very pretty and the waitstaff could not have been nicer and again the food was good. Also we never had to wait in line. We were thinking of trying the specialty restaurants (total of five I think) but the charges were higher than what I saw on the NCL website. We talked with More people who had gone to them and most were not impressed.
Our cabin was nice with plenty of storage space and a large bathroom. The attendants were charming and friendly and kept the room clean at all times.
The ship looked clean and seemed well maintained although we did have an air conditioning problem for one day but it was resolved rather quickly. NCL has a large number of hand sanitizing stations and we appreciate that and use them every time. The Stardust Theater is very pretty and holds a large number of people but you still need to get their about a half hour before the shows begin to get a seat. There are two nice quiet card rooms, a large library with refreshments, and a large cinema but it was difficult to find out what was playing and when. Supposedly the list is posted outside the cinema. They gave out a listing at the front desk but it was not always accurate. Sometimes the listing was in the Freestyle Daily Activities and sometimes not.
Shows were average with the exception of Second City Comedy Troupe and Magician Murray. There was a Folkloric group that performed one afternoon and were great even though we had seen them before. There was a excellent quartet that played and sang in the Atrium and some good singers in some lounges.
Activities were lacking - especially since this cruise has three sea days. There were some activities that had a charge - usually $15. They did have a fun Friendly (family)Feud show that was fun and a Murder Mystery Dinner (same one from two years ago) but for the dinner it is important to have the correct number of participants for the roles which did not happen. Also this event is adults only but one family insisted on bringing their child.
There were several art auctions and interesting art lectures associated with them.
The outdoor pool was a disappointment as it is very small and unattractive with huge water slides. The ship seems geared to younger families with children.
We usually do not get off the ship in the ports due to health problems. Just wanted to note that the temperature was very hot and humid in all three ports.
Disembarkation was very crowded. NCL offers walk off and take your bag with you and it seemed everyone chose this option as elevators were jammed and difficult to get.
Overall would I sail on this ship again? Not sure. We have sailed with NCL in Hawaii in the last two years and found it to be a more pleasant experience. Less

The Nottinghamshire side to face Yorkshire on Monday shows three changes from the eleven that were defeated by Warwickshire in the tour opener on Saturday.
Skipper Chris Read returns to take the gloves, with pace bowlers Luke Fletcher and Andy Carter getting their first opportunities of the tour in a 40-overs per side match at the Four Square Oval.
The three players to make way are Steven Mullaney, Ben Phillips and Jake Ball who, together with George Bacon, will be participating in a practice match involving the spare players from all six county sides that are currently on the island.
Michael Lumb (ankle) and Alex Hales (knee) continue to have treatment to slight knocks, although director of cricket Mick Newell was keen to emphasise that if they'd been required to play in a championship match tomorrow then both would be considered fit enough to start.
Newell is expecting an improved performance from some of the front-line batsmen against the White Rose county. "We had a number of players who scored between 18 and 32 on Saturday", he said. "If one individual had gone on and made a score of fifty or sixty we probably would have won and that's what we would be expecting in a normal competitive match. I'm hoping that some of them start to take responsibility for putting a good score on the board."
The inclusion of both Fletcher and Carter will provide some different options with the ball, an area that Newell was pleased about against the Bears. "I was pretty happy with the bowling and fielding and that level of performance needs to be maintained now."
Opponents Yorkshire arrived in the Caribbean last Monday evening and have brought sufficient squad members to have already played a full two-day match amongst themselves. England ODI star Jonny Bairstow scored a typically punishing 162 and Joe Sayers helped himself to a century, as the Sayers XI defeated an Andrew Gale XI earlier in the week.
With the likes of former Outlaw Ryan Sidebottom, plus Ajmal Shahzad and Adil Rashid likely to be included in the Tykes bowling attack, the Notts top order will face a stern examination but Newell isn't too concerned.
"At this stage it doesn't matter who we play. I'm just looking forward to a good day's cricket and hope the facilities and pitch are as good as we found at Windward Cricket Club."
Notts Team (v Yorkshire, Monday 10.30am): Chris Read (capt), Neil Edwards, Karl Turner, Riki Wessels, James Taylor, Scott Elstone, Paul Franks, Graeme White, Luke Fletcher, Andy Carter and Harry Gurney.
Yorkshire Team: Andrew Gale (Capt), Joe Sayers, Adam Lyth, Jonny Bairstow (Wk), Anthony Mcgrath, Gary Ballance, Joe Root, Ajmal Shahzad, Adil Rashid, Steve Patterson And Moin Ashraf.
