Once again, the 2013 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is flexing its automotive muscles, as Lincoln is set to unveil a new exclusive line for its entry-level MKZ at the show. Dubbed the Black Label line, this collection of interior and exterior dress-up packages add some extra style, class and exclusivity to the MKZ line, taking it up a notch in the luxury-car realm.
The Black Label line will eventually make its way across the entire Lincoln lineup, but for now where better to start than with its most desired model? The Lincoln MKZ Black Label comes in three different styles: Center Stage, Indulgence and Modern Heritage. Each of the three styles are distinctly different in look and feel, and really offer a custom look to the MKZ that few other lower-level luxury car manufacturers offer.
According to Lincoln, there were more than 12 different design concepts that Lincoln Design took under consideration and these three rose to the top and made the cut. So, can this Black Label line add the premium features that the MKZ so sorely needs to catapult it above the likes of Acura TL and Lexus ES 350 ?
Click past the jump to read about each of the three designs and how they change the MKZ

It's become a standard book and movie trope: An idealistic teacher walks into a classroom of hardened, at-risk students and strives to reach them.
But the outlines of the story, while familiar, can still surprise and inspire. In Deborah Hicks's "The Road Out: A Teacher's Odyssey in Poor America," the author and educator writes about her experiences trying to help a group of troubled girls in urban Cincinnati using literature, empowerment, and personal communion.

The Lubbock City Council approved the city budget for 2014 with a vote of 4 to 3 Tuesday night.
There will be a 2.8% property tax increase which is $1.23 per $100 property evaluation.
Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson said the base water fee was reduced. However, the waste water, storm water, and solid waste fees remain the same.
The council members also struck down a proposal to add funding for smart meters back into the budget for 2013.

A Supplier may contact a prospective customer by phone, by mail, or in-person. If a customer wishes to contact a Supplier, a list of Suppliers registered with Ameren Illinois and certified by the Illinois Commerce Commission to supply commercial and industrial accounts can be found on the Suppliers Registered with Ameren page.
When a customer is considering switching to a Supplier, the Supplier will ask the customer for certain pieces of information (e.g. name, billing address, service address, Ameren Illinois account number, meter number). The customer should provide this information to a Supplier if the customer is interested in switching to the Supplier's service. The switch to a Supplier cannot be completed until all terms and conditions have been explained, and the customer has provided authorization for the switch. The valid forms of authorization are a written signature, electronic signature, or a recorded third party verification performed over the phone. Once a customer has agreed to switch to a Supplier, the Supplier will submit an electronic enrollment transaction to Ameren Illinois. If the enrollment transaction is accepted (i.e. it contains a valid account number), Ameren Illinois is authorized to release a range of customer data to that Supplier, including the customer's historic and ongoing electricity usage data.
Customer Information
Once an enrollment to a Supplier is effective, the Supplier will begin receiving ongoing monthly usage data. A customer may also request, or the Supplier may request per a separate written authorization from the customer, billing data including revenues and payment history.
An Ameren Illinois account number is the validation criteria needed for a Supplier to enroll a customer's account. This means that the Supplier must have this number correct in order to successfully submit the enrollment to Ameren Illinois. A customer should not give an account number to a Supplier unless the customer is considering switching to the Supplier.
Ameren Illinois will not accept personal information changes to a customer's account from a Supplier unless the customer has signed an Agency Agreement designating the Supplier as the customer's agent.
Effective Date of Enrollment to a Supplier
An enrollment will take place on a customer's account's next scheduled meter reading date and in accordance with the terms of the contract with the Supplier.
Ameren Illinois will honor the first enrollment request received from a Supplier. If Ameren Illinois receives a second enrollment request from another Supplier before the first enrollment is activated, then the second enrollment request will be rejected.
The enrollment transaction from the Supplier must be processed by Ameren at least ten calendar days plus two business days (but no more than 45 calendar days) prior to the account's next scheduled meter reading date.
When a Supplier submits a valid enrollment request to Ameren Illinois, Ameren Illinois will send a letter notifying the customer of the impending enrollment. If the enrollment information on the notification letter is incorrect, or if the customer has changed his/her mind regarding the enrollment, then the customer must notify Ameren Illinois as soon as possible. Specifically, the customer has ten calendar days from the date that Ameren Illinois processes the Supplier's enrollment to contact Ameren Illinois and request a rescission of the pending enrollment. The last day of the ten calendar day rescission window is stated in the customer enrollment letter. Note that a Supplier may assess a fee to the customer for rescinding the Supplier's enrollment.
Loss of Service
Ameren Illinois has no responsibility for claims, damages or losses resulting from a customer's relationship with a Supplier regarding delivery or non-delivery of energy or energy services.
If a Supplier stops doing business, then that Supplier's residential accounts will be placed on Ameren Illinois BGS supply.

Martin Sheen Disses Paula Abdul
Martin Sheen disses Paula Abdul. And really, if you think about it it is rather funny. As long as you aren't Paula! Martin is showing his true age too and that even Hollywood actors are human (and forgetful). What exactly did he forget?
More pictures after the exes…
Martin ran in to Paula a while back. He remembered she was young and beautiful. What he didn't remember is her name or that his son was once married to her. He tells PR Inside:
The screen legend was at a fundraising gala several years ago when he was greeted by his son Emilio Estevez's ex-wife Abdul.
But Sheen had trouble recalling exactly where he knew the familiar face from, much to her disappointment.
He explains, "About 10 or 12 years ago I was at a fundraising event in Beverly Hills… and a very beautiful young woman appeared right here at my elbow and said, 'Hi Martin, how you doing?' "I turned around and said, 'Hey, how you doing?' and I kept walking and she got in front of me and said, 'Martin, you don't remember me?!' and I was like, 'Look, I'm gonna be direct. I know I know you, but I'm afraid I don't know from where, so please just tell me.' "And she said, 'I'm Paula Abdul.' She was married to one of my children! Naturally she was very upset but she's a very good sport about it!"
Yeah, it must be hard remembering all your sons' ex wives, girlfriends and baby mamas. Charlie Sheen's had his share too, so I think Martin deserves a pass on this one. Anyone else secretly laugh too?

To one and all, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This year has been what can only be described as phenomenal . We started with less than 2000 members 12 months ago and now we have just shy of 5000. Almost all of whom give their time and advice freely, and with the knowledge you would expect from those in possibly the most demanding IT role on the planet, educational techies.
The next twelve months are going to be even more amazing, the new site is going live in the next couple of weeks (Oh, didn't we tell you?) with facilities that no other forum yet utilises (once we get some other issues ironed out and once the main site is live), voice chat anyone?
The new site will have quite a few features that will enable us to gather possibly the largest integrated IT support community in the world, such as single sign on for all areas, including the Wiki, and all for free, in fact, the way we are offering a service like this still amazes me, you would not believe the amount of times that corporate business looks stunned when I tell them that we do not charge for anything, they simply can't understand it!
So thank you all for making this a community worth living in, and please remember, if you have a skill or talent we could utilise and are willing to work for a greater good (all right, for free) like so many other here then please do not hesitate to contact us, all help is most welcome.
Before I finish and get back to watching Mrs Dos_Box putting all the little Dos_Box children's toys under the tree let me finish by giving my thanks to the following forum members and staff for their help, support and just for being there.
ZeroHour – For developing the new site single handedly for many months now.
Grumbledook – For organising everything, ever.
Sysman _MK – For the new EduGeek logo. I am forever in your debt.
Russdev – For being a new daddy and still getting stuck in (I know exactly how it feels).
Ric – For phoning me daily at exactly the time I didn't want to be phoned!
Our sponsors and supporters – For knowing that open discussion is far better than closed practices.
All forum members – For keeping me in legal documents, writs and ensuring that living under a pseudonym keeps quite a few jealous and nasty people at bay!
Merry Christmas to you all, and we hope to see you at BETT 2008. Pop over and chat to us won't you (Stand G89 BTW).

Even if ATT did lose their exclusivity I don't think they would stop selling the iPhone. No one seems to understand this. Apple is going to dump ATT for someone else. They will just expand carriers. I am pretty sure once ATT loses their exclusivity agreement with Apple they will still sell iPhones.
That being said, Randall Stephenson's comments don't mean jack regarding ATT losing their exclusivity.
Edit.. apple is NOT going to dump ATT for someone else.

I'm back from maternity leave, so you'll be hearing more regularly from me now . . .
. . . So, to continue my series on customer service — its value, the challenges in getting it right, and what you can do about it from a technology perspective — here is a quick recap of my two older posts, and a new one from today. Enjoy.
Good customer service is the result of the right attention to strategy, business processes, technology, and people management. This series of seven blog posts focuses on customer service technology and explains the what, why, how, and when technology questions.
Part 1 reviewed the customer service technology ecosystem.
Part 2 reviewed the challenges caused by the complexity of this technology ecosystem.
Let's now focus on the tactical outcomes of suboptimal customer service technology. Customer service organizations are struggling to:

The anniversary of my two-year tenure at Forrester quietly snuck by me last week, and when I remembered about the milestone, it gave me pause to think about how much the customer service landscape has changed these past years and how quickly it keeps on changing. Here are my key thoughts:

One day Hobo and I went to the doggy park and her dad stopped by to say hi. He brought her some treats. We talked and talked and I said, that I did not believe that this was it. He told me that he didn't want me to date anyone else, but he didn't want to be with me. That one day he would regret this because he knew how perfect I was. I cried alot. He cried alot. Hobo went sniffing far away so that we could try to make some peace. I talked about how all of my dreams were coming true, showed off my DS cover! Told him that had gotten signed to my own clothing line! and none of it seemed to matter. I only wanted our family to be togther again…I had always said to her daddy that all I really wanted to be in life was adored. I felt like I had created this really special being, and that I just wanted to be with someone who woke up everyday and though "How did I get SO lucky that someone like Keltie wants to be with me!" That is all we really want isn't it? It is certainly what we all deserve.

The cornbread was delicious! I also crumbled up the bacon into small bits and add that with the bacon grease. Excellent savory, or with maple syrup or honey, especially with the salty bacon bits mixing with the sweet. I'll try it with chopped jalapenos next time. Can't wait to try the griddle cakes. Real keeper.

Quickly incorporate the hot bacon drippings into the batter with a fork. When you pour it back into the hot skillet, listen for the sizzle. That sound means your crust will be dark golden and crisp.

The Magic Box
In November 2013, SCI-Arc announced plans to break ground on a technologically transformative new digital fabrication lab that will ignite the kinds of innovation, entrepreneurship and out-of-the-box thinking that are the hallmark of a SCI-Arc education.
Dubbed the Magic Box, the new Digital Fabrication Lab aims to expand the school's experimental approach to design and its emphasis on learning through building and provoking critical discussions. The 4,000-square-feet, 2-story digital fabrication facility will be built at the south end of the SCI-Arc building and will connect to the schools existing Robot House and Analog Fabrication Shop to form the RAD Center (an acronym for robotics, analog and digital), a one-of-its-kind multi-dimensional facility providing access to several different methods of fabrication and assembly.
A rendering of the Magic Box, a cutting-edge, multi-dimensional digital fabrication lab currently being built on the SCI-Arc campus in downtown Los Angeles.
In March 2014, SCI-Arc broke ground on the Magic Box, and it looks like incoming students will walk through the doors of SCI-Arc's quarter-mile-long building and into the new robotics, analog and digital fabrication space this fall. And what they'll find will be impressive.
The Magic Box will house three times as many high-speed laser cutters, 3D scanners and ABS plastic printers as are currently available to students. Embracing and integrating the most up-to-date technologies from the moment they become available, the lab will allow students to build, vacuum form or 3D print their models to life using a wide array of materials, from wax to translucents, to plastic, to flexible materials, to metal. These models would then undergo further experimentation with the help of 6-axis robots, which have been in use at SCI-Arc for more than 3 years.
Experimentation and making at SCI-Arc will continue to evolve once the RAD Center's expansion and renovation is complete. Together with the revamped woodshop and existing cutting-edge robotics lab, the new digital fabrication lab will provide a one-of-its-kind platform for research, experimentation and prototyping.
The Magic Box has so far been supported through generous commitments totaling $400,000 to date from SCI-Arc's growing community of donors. At the forefront were trustees Abby Sher and Scott Hughes (M.Arch '97), who enthusiastically endorsed the project with lead gifts. Major grants from The Ralph M. Parsons Foundation and The Ahmanson Foundation have also provided critical support for the project.
The new facility is the first major addition to the SCI-Arc campus since its purchase by the school in 2011. The Magic Box opening at the beginning of the 2014-15 academic year will be followed by a major overhaul of the existing woodshop.

Cricket is recorded as having been played in India as early as 1721 - probably among sailors off a merchant ship - but the first club was not set up until 1792 with the establishment of the Calcutta Cricket Club on the site where Eden Gardens now stands, although its membership was restricted to Europeans. Five years later Bombay hosted its first match. And it was in Bombay that Indians first began to play the game. At the end of the 18th century the Parsees took on the Eton Ramblers, and in 1848 they formed the Orient Club. As equipment was scarce and expensive, they used cast-offs from the exclusive European Club, Bombay Gymkhana.
In 1877 the Parsees beat the Europeans, and flushed with success, planned tours of Australia and England. Australia fell through, but in 1878 they did visit England, winning one out of 28 games; two years later they returned, winning eight out of 31 with Mehlasa Parvi taking 170 wickets at under 12.
In 1889 an amateur English side travelled to India. They played almost exclusively European sides but their one defeat came against the Parsees, Pavri taking nine wickets. In 1892 they returned and suffered two defeats in 20 games - again losing to the Parsees. They also played an All-India side, but the reality was that was almost entirely made up of Europeans as well. In 1895 competitive cricket in India started with the first Europeans v Parsees match, a series known as the Presidency matches.
The success of Ranji in England fired the imagination, especially among his fellow princes back home. Many sent for coaches from England and lavished huge sums on ensuring that they could boast the best facilities. In 1907 the Hindus joined the Europeans and Parsees to make it a triangular competition and in 1912 the Mohammedans also started to participate. In 1937 the Christians and Jews combined to for a side called The Rest and the competition became known as the Pentangular.
While the competition was the mainstay of the cricket calendar, there was no real attempt to launch a national competition until after India's Test debut in 1932. That first match, at Lord's, came more than two decades after India's first steps to earn Test status. In 1911 and All-India side toured England under the Maharajah of Patiala - with moderate success - and by the late 1920s the performance of the side against an MCC XI led by Arthur Gilligan persuaded the ICC that they might be ready.
The one stumbling block was that India did not have a central body running the game, and so in 1928 the Board of Control for Cricket in India came into being. India were due to make their Test debut in 1930-31 but extreme nationalist sentiment and activity at the time led to the trip being cancelled and so it was at Lord's 18 months later that India joined the Test ranks.
In 1934 the BCCI launched a national competition between "the princes and the princely states" and it was named after the greatest Indian player to that time, KS Ranjitsinhji. The board also set up and inter-varsity tournament. In 1936 the first major stadium - the Brabourne in Bombay, the Lord's of India - was opened, the first of many giant arenas.

TEAMS: New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants
Yankees All Star second baseman, Robinson Cano, found himself at the wrong-end of some nasty rumors today. Dan Tordjman, a TV Reporter in Charlotte, NC, first reported on Twitter that Cano failed a Performance Enhancing Drug test and would face a suspension from MLB as early as Friday. When asked about the rumors, Cano quickly shot down the allegations: Cano has never before been linked to steroids, but it is not uncommon for superstars in today's game—Dominican-born players in specific—to be linked to PED's. Additionally, with the Melky Cabrera proven reports earlier this summer, Cano's name was bound to surface in steroid rumors eventually. Whether fair or not, that is the post-steroid era we live in today.

James Fallows's "Bush's Lost Year" (October Atlantic) contains several gaps and contradictions. I do not understand how Fallows can argue that our invasion of Iraq was a mistake without seriously addressing the belief held by most intelligence agencies that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Even if stockpiles have not been found, I've heard no one argue that Saddam Hussein did not have the capability to work on these weapons, especially as UN sanctions enforcement had begun to unravel. No cost-benefit analysis of the Iraq campaign is complete without an assessment of WMD potential. Fallows himself raises this question when he notes that many found the war costly but, based on WMD intelligence, necessary. He leaves the question unanswered, but I would argue that if the war was necessary, then discussing its opportunity costs is an intriguing but pointless game.
Fallows ends his article with a discussion that I believe would have been better placed at the beginning: he writes that the terrorists attack us not because of our values but because of our policies. This charge is so incendiary that it colors everything else. First, I do not see how such an argument can be made without acknowledging the work of Thomas Friedman in The Lexus and the Olive Tree. Western media, entertainment, and business, and most especially women, are a constant threat to Islamic extremists and a constant temptation to the hearts and minds of youths in the Middle East. The mullahs, Friedman argues, see the West as their enemy. Fallows supports his claim that the terrorists are attacking us for our policies by quoting the observation that Norway has not yet been attacked, but earlier he contradicts this argument by noting that terrorist attacks "especially against Americans and Europeans" have increased. Does Fallows seriously contend that terrorism is not a global threat to civilization but merely a reaction to U.S. policy? Following the massacre in Beslan, we are reminded that the terrorists' only logic is the logic of a love affair with death.
Fallows argues that the first casualty of Iraq was Afghanistan, but his view of Afghanistan is confused and distorted. First, he fails to mention the elections then scheduled for October—an achievement of consequence. Second, he assumes that the continued influence of the warlords is a defeat of U.S. objectives, although Afghanistan has always been a collection of tribes. And finally, Fallows suggests that U.S. troops should have forcibly entered Pakistan to cut off avenues of retreat for bin Laden, even at the risk of destabilizing Pakistan's government. Here Fallows grossly underestimates the dangers of unleashing Islamic extremism in Pakistan. There is, of course, the nuclear question; but beyond that Saddam would have been left with a free hand while we got dragged into a quagmire in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Fallows proposes a nightmare scenario: the entire Middle East in chaos, with nuclear weapons loose in Pakistan, and Saddam wielding biological and chemical weapons in Iraq—all for the off chance of nabbing bin Laden in some remote cave. Our troop numbers are and have been low in Afghanistan not to save soldiers for Iraq but because of a deliberate policy choice to keep a low profile. U.S. policy has always been to approach Afghanistan lightly, and this choice has had slow but effective results.
Corey R. McCool
Evansville, Ind.
I have read James Fallows's articles and editorial comments for a number of years, and I respect him as one of the more astute observers currently writing on foreign policy and politics. But I take serious issue with the conclusions he has drawn in his October cover story. Or perhaps I should say that I take issue with his major premise, as stated in the sub-headline "How the War on Iraq Undermined the War on Terror." What Fallows apparently doesn't understand—and the media won't tell the American public—is that the war on terror and the war in Iraq are part and parcel of the same effort. Iraq is currently the focal point and principal battleground in the war on terror.
Marine Major William Truax said it best—in a recent letter from his position on the staff of the multinational headquarters in Baghdad—when he observed, "The bad guys did us a huge favor by gathering together in one place and trying to make a stand. It allowed us to focus on them … there rather than hunt them down in their home countries." If Fallows needs any reinforcement of this point, consider that the interim Iraqi Prime Minister, Ayad Allawi, told both the UN and Congress that more than half the terrorists in Iraq—not militants, insurgents, or freedom fighters but terrorists—are from foreign countries, principally Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Chechnya, and Afghanistan, and from groups such as the PLO, Hamas, and Hizbollah.
The Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a high-ranking al-Qaeda operative, is widely acknowledged as the leader of those trying to prevent the democratization of Iraq. The remaining terrorists under his control are the hardcore Baathists and the remnants of Saddam's Republican Guard, which evaporated at the end of major combat with barely a shot fired, only to re-emerge as killers of their own people—as they were in their previous existence. Until the world comes to realize that Iraq is an integral part of the war on terror and is currently its most decisive battleground, we face the very real possibility of abandoning the field to the terrorists, only to be forced to engage them in our own country at some future date.
Richard J. Toner
Brigadier General, USAF (Ret.)
Colorado Springs, Colo.
Our presence in Afghanistan is not nation-building but simply an effort to keep terrorists from using that country for another 9/11. This takes only a relatively small number of intelligence experts, linguists, and boots on the ground. Our much larger commitment to Iraq is a strategic move to check the two countries that pose the greatest threat to the stability of the Middle East and the Islamic world: Iran and Pakistan (not to mention Syria). Troops and bases in Iraq give America more options in dealing with Iran's nuclear program and support of terrorism. Likewise Pakistan, in the event of the fall of the Musharraf government.
I find it disconcerting that The Atlantic would print "Bush's Lost Year" and "The Long Hunt for Osama" in the same issue two months before the general election. Both are biased and are mindlessly critical of the Republican Administration. May we hear from Donald Rumsfeld or Paul Wolfowitz next? Maybe The Atlantic should consider a move out of Boston to a more politically neutral part of the country.
Eugene R. Donaldson
Birmingham, Ala.
In "Bush's Lost Year," James Fallows goes on at great length but misses the point. The real issue is incompatibility of goals, not whether terrorists are merely irrational or "logical" but brutal. Fallows would have had the President focus his energies not on Iraq but on imposing a land-for-peace deal to solve the Arab-Israeli conflict. But the reason such a deal has eluded so many U.S. Presidents is that the goals of Israelis and their Arab antagonists are incompatible: the Israelis want peace (and Prime Minister Barak offered virtually all the land taken in the 1967 war in hopes of obtaining it), whereas the Arabs are determined to destroy the Jewish state.

silva @silva ?active 2 years, 8 months ago
Last night my sister-in-law was telling me how she and group of her friends really got pissed off with this woman who plays volleyball on Sundays with their husbands.
They went to the park, where they play voleyball, for a birthday and saw this woman there playing. It was when they learned about it because their husbands never mentioned that this woman was playing with them men.
They, according to my sister-in-law (SIL), had a conference to talk about how wrong this woman was to go play with their husbands, since they were married and she wasn't.
I started saying that she didn't do anything wrong.
My SIL said that she was mad that none of the men mentioned that to their wives.
I said that, if anything, the men were doing something wrong, not the woman. My other SIL (SIL #2) said that she knew the woman and always thought that she was quiet and didn't think anything bad about her. SIL #2 said that she asked her husband (who also plays the game on Sundays) if the woman was ever inappropriate and her husband said "no". She, (SIL#2) said that the only thing that she did wrong was wearing short-shorts when all the men were there, and married, and she should have worn something… I interrupted and said "something like a burka, right?". SIL #1 looked at me and rolled her eyes.
I kept saying that there was nothing wrong with the woman playing with the men, and that maybe, just maybe, the men were wrong to never mention that, and when it was "discovered", they were wrong to start teasing the husbands who had the most jealous wives, since the wives got jealous, but SIL#1, (who is very jealous of her husband, even after 10 years of marriage and two kids) kept saying the woman was wrong because relationships start developing with time and proximity. Then I said that it was interesting for her to say that because she works a lot of her time with a man, who is married to her boss, and they are always there alone. She said "it's different." She said she loves her husband so much, and to imagine him having contact with other woman is unacceptable for her.
She said that the women decided to appoint someone to call this woman and ask her not to go anymore and she (the volleyball playing woman) agreed and understood, "because she was once married."
Oh god! I got so pissed with all of this. At least I said more than once that it was all wrong, that they were acting like the Taliban.
SIL#!1Said that I was not the type of person to talk about those things. I said I was glad I was not friends with those women, and, to not offend my SIL #1 so much, I said that people get influenced by others. She agreed that it was true, but she seemed very happy , even proud, to shun and trash this woman for playing volleyball with her husband.
From all of this I take that these women think that women and men should not mix if they are in a committed relationship, and the burden, the gate keeping is a woman's job. For them, if woman would like to play activities that other women will not do with them, they should just stay home.

Actually, I think it is funny because he saying how absurd and cruel it is that he has this privilege, exactly because his privilege implicates the lack of privilege of others.

Why don't they try to make their travel more interesting by sticking a picture of a black man in chains on the suitcase? Or, starved looking person, wearing striped pajamas, with serious skin burns?
I guess it would offend people who identigy themselves with them, right? Nobody wants that.

The best & worst celebrity facial hair
Creepiest look: Michael Cera
Baby faces and mustaches do not mix. Keep this in mind when considering your choice of facial hair. And please -- for everyone's sake -- avoid this look at all costs.
Most in need of a trim: James McAvoy
If you have light colored facial hair, grow it in full or not at all. A goatee or beard with light, sparse hair will make a 30 year old look 20. James, might we suggest this tool and these tips?
Least likely to be taken seriously: Ashton Kutcher
Facial hair doesn't make the man, but it sure can break him. If you tend to grow a thin mustache, you need to anchor it with a full beard, or you'll come off looking like a teenager trying to pass for his older brother.
Least likely to grow a full beard ... ever: Sidney Crosby
When it comes to facial hair, knowing your limits is crucial. Some of us simply cannot -- or should not -- grow a beard without weird patches of skin showing through. This, unfortunately, means you, Mr. Crosby. Here are a few suggestions for the NHL captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Most likely stuck in the '70s: Morgan Spurlock
If you actually decide to sport a handlebar mustache, you'd better be someone with the chops to pull it off (e.g. pro wrestler, action hero, big game hunter, biker from The Village People, etc.). We're not too sure documentarian cuts it.
Most likely to 'act a fool': Ludacris
Rappers can get away with a lot in terms of style, but Ludacris' laser-sharp, hot-rod-flame sideburns from back in 2006 were a look truly befitting his name.
Least likely to be 'winning': Charlie Sheen
When growing sideburns, subtlety is key. Too long or too bushy and you'll look like you're stuck in a time warp or like you're a crazy person. Or in Mr. Sheen's case, both.
Most likely to be mistaken for a gunslinger: Viggo Mortensen
Bigger is not always better in the world of grooming. As a rule, don't grow a mustache that's wider than the corners of your mouth. Anything bigger will dominate your look and distract from the real you.
Most likely to start a drum circle: Brad Pitt
In style, there are very few absolute rules. However, we can safely say that "Thou Shalt Not Bead Thy Facial Hair" is one of them. Or twist it. Luckily Mr. Pitt has since moved on to less "Pirates-of-the-Caribbean-Holiday" looks.
Worst repeat offender: Scott Pollard
This two-pronged pointy chin thing (we're not aware of a name for this look) is just one of many poor facial hair decisions Mr. Pollard has made over the years, including a handlebar mustache and misshapen goatees. Lucky for the retired NBA player, it's nothing a razor (and some shave oil and cream) can't fix.

The phonetic alphabet was developed as a way to spell things out over radio communications that may be less then ideal, I.E. a lot of static or weak signal. All the words were chosen because they have a distinct sound that is easy to pick out. Military and police communications use the phonetic alphabet heavily and can be helpful to know for talking over CB's or FRS (walky talky) radios.

Retail stocks perking up
After spending months in the wilderness, consumer names are on the move again.
It's no secret that I've become increasingly skeptical about the quality and longevity of the current market rally. My recent columns and blog posts will attest to that. But I won't deny positive signs when I see them. And I see plenty of good things among retail and consumer stocks right now.
Just look at the recent action in the Retail SPDR (XRT), which holds stocks like GameStop (GME) and JC Penney (JCP). The XRT is up 4.6% from its Monday low and looks to be in the midst of initiating a new uptrend. Various technical indicators are moving into positive territory for the first time since December.
Although there are concerns about rising input prices -- especially for cotton -- pressure margins in the sector, fourth-quarter earnings have been solid. And compared to more defensive consumer staples stocks, retailers are moving higher at a pace not seen since last September. Can the momentum continue?
Of the consumer discretionary stocks in the S&P 500 that have reported Q4 results so far, 76% have reported better-than-expected results; compare that to the 72% beat rate for the overall S&P 500. The good news from the holiday shopping season is carrying over into the New Year: According to Thomson Reuters, its January Same Store Sales Index registered a 4.2% gain for January, beating the 2.7% estimate and January 2010's 3.3% increase.
According to Thomson Reuters analyst Jharonne Martis-Olivo, a reading of 3% "generally signals health among U.S. consumers, thus 4.2% is very robust" and corroborates recent increases in consumer confidence. Overall, 68% of retailers beat expectations despite the month's difficult winter weather.
One of the best performers was Limited Brands (LTD), whose stores include Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works. Same-store sales increased 24%, smashing estimates of 6.7%. Lingerie was apparently a hot commodity, as sales at Victoria's Secret leapt 35%.
Solid results are driving investors back into the sector, relieving months of underperformance against the broad market.
Here's a look at a few stocks that, along with Limited Brands, are showing promise:
AnnTaylor Stores (ANN), a retailer of specialty women's apparel, is moving up and out of its most severe oversold condition since last July on good volume.
Tiffany and Co. (TIF), the iconic jewelry house, jumped both its 20-day and 50-day moving averages over the last few days -- a feat that hasn't been seen since September.
American Eagle Outfitters (AEO), a teen retailer, looks ready to move up and out of a five-month consolidation pattern.

Cooking mainly Lebanese food, as I do, I end up buying garlic on a weekly basis. I noticed that in the last few months (or was it years?) I was not having good luck with garlic. It is more often than not old. So, I dump it and hope for better luck next time. Well, today, I scrutinized the label. Guess what? My garlic is coming all the way from China! Can someone explain this to me? Why is it that in the US, garlic is imported from …China??? I don't mind buying all my appliances and all my clothes and all my toys and accessories and ….but garlic????
Well, this is the red line. I refuse to buy garlic from China. Period. If I can't find a store that will carry local garlic, or even US grown garlic, then I will just have to grow my own in a pot.

New Range Rover in Morocco
Morocco is a curious mix. On the one hand cities like Marrakech have become magnets for hipster travellers, chic boutique hoteliers, designer bars and restaurants. On the other is a vast, predominantly peasant land where donkeys, camels and beat-up minivans, packed dangerously high with cattle, form the main mode of transport. High-end luxury meets robust living in Morocco – qualities shared by the new Range Rover, launched here. Now in its... Read More
Gerry McGovern on Land Rover design
Jaguar Land Rover is having a bit of a renaissance. Owned by Tata Motors since 2008, the Indian firm is breathing life back into the two brands, encouraging them to explore their identities within the context of 21st century aesthetic and functional needs. Land Rover, in particular, has revealed an edgier side to its personality in recent years with cars like the Range Rover Evoque which has been an incredible success story for the company. Designed...

Car design trends from Geneva
The Geneva Motor Show is one of the main yearly international exhibitions that tend to focus primarily on design studies and future trends. This year, sadly, the displays were generally of 'real' cars – automobiles that are made for today's world but tend to lack the visionary insight to make them relevant to the bigger picture of mobility. This is a real shame as for the last few years we have been teased with a promise of a future... Read More

Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson didn't waste any time with greeting his newest recruit, Monroe Area's Stephon Tuitt.
Johnson rearranged his travel plans to meet in person with Tuitt on Wednesday afternoon. One day earlier, the 6-foot-5, 260-pound defensive end switched his commitment from Notre Dame to Georgia Tech.
"Coach Johnson just welcomed Stephon to the Georgia Tech family," Monroe Area coach Matt Fligg said. "[Johnson] didn't say anything Notre Dame, or about the issue of Tuitt switching his commitment. That never came up. They talked strictly about Georgia Tech."
They met for about an hour and were joined by athlete Demontevious Smith, Tuitt's high school teammate and fellow Georgia Tech commitment. Smith picked Georgia Tech over Virginia Tech last weekend.
"Coach Johnson shook both of their hands and congratulated both on being Yellow Jackets," Fligg said. "The rest of the time, they talked about [football] war stories and their futures at Georgia Tech. The visit went really well."
Fligg said Tuitt looked like an entirely different person at school on Wednesday. "There was so much pressure on this young man. He was very relieved [for the switch] to Georgia Tech to be over with. He was very happy."

Looks solid for any ND fan holding out hope. Good to see two good friends get to spend thier college years together and playing on the same field. I have a mental image of CPJ racing toward Tuitt with open arms and scaring the hell out of him.

good pick-up for Tech…

Tremendous job by CPJ and his staff landing Truitt and what is growing into a very impressive 2011 recruiting class. Let's keep up the pressure, finish strong and land a couple more blue chippers!
January 19th, 2011
8:29 pm
Gee, I wonder why the topic of switching his commitment didn't come up? Hypocrite…
January 19th, 2011

Well this is just ONE player can we get anymore? Maybe a 4 star player?
January 19th, 2011

Tuit can win for the whole team he needs some team mates! We can't stop recruiting now we need other like him!
January 19th, 2011
8:33 pm
Where are all of the naysayers/pups who kept ranting about how CPJ can't recruit??? They are strangely silent all of the sudden, lol. It's shaping into potentially one of the best recruiting classes in school history. Most will red-shirt next season, but 2012 is suddenly looking to be a VERY interesting season for both GT and UGA.
January 19th, 2011

Gen. One or two football players does not make a good recruiter… If he can recruit like this every year, then I would have to say I'm wrong…… To date, he has NOT recruited well. Period… You don't win against big time football teams with the guys he is recruiting….
January 19th, 2011

For those who have not seen highlight tape of Demon here it is. I admit there are some pass plays I did not like, but the kid can run and elude. Looks like a good back up QB or maybe a kick/punt returner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpK8UgQyc0k

What is so bad about his current or past recruiting classes? True there are some questionable ones on the list, but he has recruited some good talent. Smith, Bostic, Burnett, Finch, Sweeting, Jackson, Attaochu, Ayers, Days x2, McCoy, Green, Williams, Young, Tuitt, Lee, Chamberlain, Joe, T. Jackson, Milton, McNair, Noble, Mason ect. ect…..
January 19th, 2011
9:02 pm
@Gen.Forrest…you say this is shaping up to be one of the best recruiting classes in school history? WOW! I really hope not. I believe Tuitt will be a great player, he's a stud but it looks like he may be one of the only studs in the class. Best in school history? Maybe the bar hasn't been set too high in the past. Let me be clear, I am not a Tech basher at all, but landing one STUD doesn't make one a noteworthy recruiter. Congrats to Tech for landing a MONSTER in Stephon Tuitt.

gt4ever, when has Boise State, TCU, or even Utah every had a class full of four star recruits. They do get mostly two star players. Last time I looked they were competing with, as you say, "big time football teams." Tech is never going to land a class full of four and five star kids, because quite frankly, many of them don't make the grades to get into the school. I'm not even a Tech fan, but I think your expectations are a little out of whack. CPJ made two ACC championship games in three years, and won one. I think they are in pretty good hands.

Nice job by Paul and the staff to get several quality recruits this week. Tuitt makes this class special, and with the addition of Darian Cooper…we will be set on the D line. Lets sign 25 this year and head into the spring practice knowing that plenty of talent is on the way. Go Jackets!

I am a hypocrite, That is all.
January 19th, 2011
9:45 pm
Oh ok, Ramblin Man. Thanks.
Seriously, this is getting old. It's only hypocritical if Johnson says other coaches can't recruit his committed players (he hasn't and he could not enforce it anyway) or Johnson himself is taking official or unofficial visits (he hasn't and it would be awfully strange if a dude in his mid 50's was being recruited to play college ball). More importanly, hypocrisy is not a substantive arguement. It's just one that losers play when they don't like someone or something.
January 19th, 2011
10:02 pm
Thank you, George Stein. As you point out, PJ is not telling other coaches they can't recruit players who have verbally committed. He is simply telling the players beforehand that verbally committing to Georgia Tech means you are done with your visits. It's up to other coaches to have similar policies. He is going to continue to recruit other players even if they have verbally committed elsewhere (like Tuitt) because he would be putting himself at an unfair advantage not to, with all the other coaches doing it.
The kids who commit know what they are getting in to. If you aren't completely sure about your commitment, then hold out until you are.
January 19th, 2011
10:04 pm
I am glad to see GT and CPJ getting ink for good recruits. CPJ has won mostly with the talent brought in my Chan, but he has certainly coached them up. I hope the men he is recruiting turn out to be good players for the Institute and good representatives of the Institute. I like to win, and I hate to see our players being arrested or ruled academically ineligible.
January 19th, 2011
10:13 pm
Welcome to Tech Mr Tuitt and Smith!
We look forward to seeing you remaking this defense, along with the other young bees in tow to bring the 3-4 up to snuff.
You knew PJ was sick of either:
A) Winning close games because his offense scored every time
B) Losing because his defense couldn't give his offense a break
Defense was and is our biggest weakness. PJ has brought in some solid talent along both lines, and secured depth in the back 7 as well. Not to mention some athletes at WR and a QB in Vad Lee who can put up numbers akin to Joe Hamilton.
This is a great and extremely underrated class.
January 19th, 2011
10:19 pm
Amen George, CPJ ask his recruits to mean what they say. To be a hypocrite he would have to offer a recruit a spot and then HE himself would have to pull back the offer later, thus doing what he does not allow another to do !

TUITT "I am 100% COMMITTED" Back to ND
I got a chance to talk to the head coach and my DL coach and my defensive coordinator.
I feel like I got some things off my chest. Some things about the college and some of the little things and big things.
They answered all my questions.
I finally have some closure.
I'm 100%.
January 19th, 2011
10:41 pm
CPJ/Staff's first two years we won a lot of the closer games. This last year we lost some of those games and we key injuries and Nesbitt did'nt play spring ball. With this type of recruiting, an improved defense and a passing game that can hit 60% of say 15 to 25 passes a game this program will be unstoppable. Good job Tech/staff.

10:57 pm
Wow, just wow….what can you say? Wish he'd go visit ND right now and tell me how a winter of snowy and temps in the teens feels. Oh well, good luck at ND Mr. Tuitt.
January 19th, 2011
10:59 pm
It seemed clear all along that he wanted to go to ND. His coach wanted him to go to GT but he followed his heart. Just another disappointing recruiting story for us. I am beginning to lose hope, we can't compete with these guys.

Tuitt re-commits to Irish
Tribune Staff Report
A day after changing his commitment from Notre Dame to Georgia Tech, Stephon Tuitt has switched back to the Irish, his mother confirmed Wednesday night.
"He is done with recruiting," Tamara Tuitt said Wednesday night.
The 6-foot-5, 260-pound Tuitt, from Monroe, Ga., is ranked as the No. 22 player nationally by
Tuitt met Wednesday night with Irish head coach Brian Kelly, defensive coordinator Bob Diaco, defensive line coach Mike Elston and secondary coach Chuck Martin.
January 19th, 2011
11:09 pm
The kid wants to come to TECH. His momma wants him to goto ND… Some one needs to ask Brian Kelly how much they paid her… This is just disappointing… We just cannot catch a break.. This fa..gs aren't gonna win any crap.. What the hell did they do with all the talent for the last 20 yrs.. nothing… Down the drain.. here we go again!! Disappointed……..
God this just isn't fair…
January 19th, 2011

Too bad tech! Tuitt recommitted tonight to the Irish after an in-home visit by the ND staff including Coach Kelly.

Screw it Tuit at Notre Lame you will never never do it.
January 19th, 2011
11:30 pm
Back home with Notre Dame. Go Irish!
January 19th, 2011
11:31 pm
This is highly embarrassing for CPJ.
January 19th, 2011
11:39 pm
Well, if CPJ is consistent (and hopefully he is) then this kills any chance of Tuitt playing at GT. Good luck at Notre Dame, its still a fine choice. Assuming he actually ends up there.
January 19th, 2011
11:52 pm
ND literally uses GT as their poop rag. Remember when they came and stole O'Leary from us only to fire him 24 hours later. The just run all over us. We will always stand in their shadow. Screw ND It sucks out loud but at least I can admit it. I love PJ……but I'm not sure how long he'll last. Oh well…..
Go Jackets!!!!!!!!

How is this embarrassing for CPJ? More like a wishy washy kid who doesn't know what he wants to do. Sounds like I could sell him some beach front property in Utah if I tried real hard.
January 20th, 2011
12:00 am
Come on guys…you can't blame him for finally coming to his senses. I mean seriously…GT getting a 5-star recruit? Ain't gonna happen…not in the cards…the stars aren't aligned that way.
Former ND All American, Justin Tuck who now plays DE for the NY Giants is from Georgia so you know this kid believes he can make it in South Bend. The Irish are going to have a killer D for the next few years.
January 20th, 2011
12:07 am
You guys doing spin control for CPJ are amusing. The man instills a policy enforcing "your word is bond" and then actively tries to convince other young men to break their commitments. You can argue semantics all you want but that right there sends the wrong message and there isn't any way around it. I'm not going to say this is justice but unless you respect someone's commitment elsewhere you can't expect those committed to you to respect his. That right there is the game and very few coaches play it like Johnson chose to. And, as a result, very few look as silly as he does right now. His is an ideal policy. It just isn't realistic.
January 20th, 2011
12:15 am
Congrats Stephon, Notre Dame is a great school with unmatched spirit, tradition, character, and graduation rates. Four strong wins to finish this season and the Irish are well on their way back. You are smart to be a part of this by joining a Top 5 recruiting class, and the best front 7 of recruits in the country. Enjoy being a member of the Notre Dame family – for the rest of your life – Go Irish !!!
January 20th, 2011
12:17 am
Come on guys…you can't blame him for finally coming to his senses
Finally came to his senses? LOL. He was committed to GT for one day. He said that was where his heart was the whole time. Unfortunately his mom thinks otherwise.

The slag metal emulsion may play a significant role in the global furnace decarburization kinetics in oxygen steelmaking. In recent years, the important interaction between droplet generation rate, droplet residence time in slag and droplet decarburization rate has become more evident in the literature. The decarburization kinetics of Fe-C-S droplets in CaO-SiO2-MgO-FeO slags were investigated for highercarbon droplets (approximately 4.2 % C). The effect of slag FeO, droplet mass and Sulphur content on decarburization rate were evaluated. The limit between external and internal nucleation of CO gas was investigated. A model was developed for prediction oftime to the onset of carbon boil.

IMB initiative connects marketplace with God's global purposes10/22/2012
By Abby Wallace
RICHMOND, Va. —In the mountains of Ecuador, Scott Tye's small office serves as more than just a satellite for his business, which is based in Allen, Texas. And it does more than provide an income for eight of his employees.
Recently, Tye hired a young Ecuadorian couple to manage the office. Their goal is to eventually serve as missionaries in another country.
"They were looking for several businesses that they could use to provide a part of their support," said Tye.
By hiring them, he is helping to do just that, as well as expanding his business in other countries — all for the sake of kingdom work.
IMB President Tom Elliff sees Tye's efforts as recapturing the first-century model that led to the expansion of the early church throughout their known world.
"Traveling along sea-lanes and roads, on the back of commerce," said Elliff, "followers of Christ began to carry the message far and wide."
IMB has established a new office called Global Strategic Mobilization (GSM) to assist Tye and others like him, who work in the global marketplace. GSM focuses on identifying, connecting and equipping Southern Baptists for greater involvement in fulfillment of the Great Commission through their work across the globe.
"We want to do all we can to get the Gospel to the nations through whatever doors God opens," said Scott Holste, IMB vice president in charge of this new endeavor. He wants to see that "… marketplace professionals in our churches are poised to join with IMB missionaries and others to help finish the task."
Elliff sees GSM as a way of advancing IMB's purpose of helping Southern Baptist churches fulfill their mission of reaching the world for Christ.
"GSM will become IMB's means of challenging corporate leaders and employees (as well as other marketplace professionals) to place their lives, businesses, resources, international connections and their energies on the altar for the fulfillment of the Great Commission," concluded Elliff. "(It will also seek) … effective ways (for them) to complement the incredible knowledge, training, skill and passion of our IMB personnel who are already in place around the world."
For more information, go to imbgsm.com. This website will help Southern Baptists learn how to connect their vocations more deeply with God's global purposes. Resources will be posted regularly on the website.
- More immediate information is available on twitter: @imbgsm.
Training materials are being developed to help SBC churches equip their members as kingdom workers around the world.
Abby Wallace occasionally writes for IMB.

Overriding cost was a huge help for me. Don't know how it is elsewhere, but on Thunderhorn-US there's very little outland herbs going up on the AH, but when they do, they have moderately low prices (maybe 4-5g per ink). I figure it's people leveling and throwing stuff on the AH, without really looking at the market.
TSM can correctly surmise the average price, but it can't know how the limited quantity restricts what we can do with it.
By arbitrarily forcing it to think of the price as higher, it guarantees I'll only craft the most profitable of the glyphs with the limited supply that exists. TSM FTW!

Busted [1]
April 2013 – April 2014
HIGH LINE COMMISSION, various locations on the High Line
High Line Art is pleased to announce Busted, the HIGH LINE COMMISSION that includes figurative sculptures, celebratory portraits, and commemorative monuments installed on and around the High Line. Featuring nine acclaimed international artists, Busted will be on view from April 2013 to April 2014.
Drawing its inspiration from the dedicatory sculptures that punctuated the streets of ancient Rome, Busted plays with the popular tradition of urban monuments and civic landmarks that have defined public spaces for centuries. Who are today's heroes and who does the public expect to see memorialized in monuments? Busted will raise some of these questions by bringing together a group of artists who are questioning the tradition of commemorative sculpture and the format of the celebratory monuments. The invited artists will touch upon – at times with levity and sense of humor – issues of democracy, taste, and representation of the self in the public space.
Busted will feature nine international artists including:
New York-based artist Frank Benson (b. 1976, United States) presents Human Statue (Jessie), 2011, a life-size sculpture of a standing woman; arms gently open as if holding an invisible object, with a shield-like disk resting at her feet. The sculpture is a mix of the old and new. References to classic Greek statuaries are evident, but the figure is dressed in modern clothes. The manufacturing process reflects a similar complexity as the sculpture combines traditional materials like bronze with digital 3-D scanning.
London-based artist Steven Claydon (b. 1969, United Kingdom) presents the newly-commissioned UNLIMITEDS & LIMITERS, two seemingly traditional busts of a bearded man made of concrete and resin mix. The sculptures will weather over the course of the exhibition, revealing the synthetic material of the interior, as well as reflecting on the operational qualities of artworks, artifacts, and other objects.
George Condo (b. 1957, United States) is a New York-based artist who emerged in the 1980s New York East Village art scene and has gone on to become one of the most influential and active painters working today. Distorted faces, screaming creatures, and mutant bodies are some of the recurring features in Condo's theater of the absurd: his exploration of human psychology is both comic and tragic. For Busted, Condo presents Liquor Store Attendant, a bronze bust that depicts a grotesque face covered with barnacles.
Known for abstract paintings that combine mesmerizing colors with multilayered texture, Los Angeles-based artist Mark Grotjahn (b. 1968, United States) has created a series of sculptures out of discarded cardboard boxes. Grotjahn's masks resemble infantile creations and vernacular constructions cast in bronze and carefully hand painted. Grotjahn's strange masks are contemporary scarecrows that combine the use of materials typical of early 20th century avant garde with the eccentric energy of outsider art.
Working primarily as a painter, New York-based artist Sean Landers (b. 1962, United States) is known for intricate canvases where figurative imagery is intertwined with a flow of written words – a stream of consciousness that adds a diaristic element to his work. For Busted, Landers present Pan, a bronze sculpture of a satyr wearing a Scottish kilt. Installed among the vegetation of the High Line, Pan surprises the park's visitors by evoking a world where reality and mythology meet.
London-based artist Goshka Macuga (b. 1967, Poland) creates works which draw upon singular historical episodes to investigate collective memories and political events. For Busted, the artist presents Colin Powell, a sculpture of the former Secretary of State as he delivers his controversial 2003 speech on weapons of mass destruction at the United Nations. Macuga depicts the scene during his address when he famously held up a vial of anthrax. Rendered in the Cubist style, the sculpture is inspired by the replica of Pablo Picasso's Guernica, the artist's iconic anti-war painting which usually hangs in the same room at the UN, but was covered by a curtain during Powell's speech.
Alongside her neo-folk paintings, Los Angeles-based artist Ruby Neri (b. 1970, United States) has been experimenting with sculpture in a series of works made by assembling disparate materials such as ceramics, bronze, plaster, and found objects. For Busted, Neri debuts Before a Framework, a sculpture of a woman leaning against a window frame. By casting in bronze a figure portrayed in a meditative pose, the artist creates a composition which appears as a strange hybrid between vernacular art and classical sculpture.
London-based artist Amalia Pica (b. 1978, Argentina) has distinguished herself among a generation of emerging artists who reinterpret the tradition of Conceptual Art. Working with a range of different mediums, Pica questions the role of art in our everyday life. For Busted, she presents Number One (from the series Heroes on the Run), an empty pedestal made of concrete and covered with oxidation marks suggesting that the sculpture has been removed or has disappeared, which is a frequent fate for monuments in an age of political turmoil.
New York-based artist Andra Ursuta's (b. 1979, Romania) work merges the traditional folklore of her native Romania with an investigation of feminine identity. For Busted, she presents Nose Job, a newly-commissioned sculpture of a giant nose made of white marble installed in a wheel barrow. Evoking references that span from ancient Greek statuary to Nikolai Gogol's novel The Nose, to the remnants of socialist monuments defaced at the end of the 1980s, Nose Job is a portable sculpture which speaks of the perennial rewriting of history through gestures of iconoclasm and destruction.
#GetBusted Contest [2]
The public is invited to participate in an open poll and vote online for a person who in their opinion should be commemorated in a monument to be installed on the High Line. The winning subject will be turned into a specially commissioned sculpture installed alongside the other nine sculptures in Busted. The sculpture will be on view at the High Line for the second half of the exhibition. Read more [2]
Major support for Busted is provided by Diane and Marc Spilker.
High Line Art is presented by Friends of the High Line and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. Major support for High Line Art comes from Donald R. Mullen, Jr., with additional funding provided by the Concordia Foundation, and Vital Projects Fund, Inc. High Line Art is supported, in part, with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
