With his football team set to begin spring practice, Georgia coach Mark Richt was asked in early March what he expected out of veteran tailbacks Washaun Ealey and Caleb King.
"We need to see them prove that they can hold off the young pup coming in," Richt said.
Four months later, Ealey and King have faltered their way out of the program and left the door wide open for touted freshman Isaiah Crowell potentially to start Sept. 3 when the Bulldogs face Boise State in Atlanta. Ealey was granted an unconditional release in May and has transferred to Jacksonville State, and King was declared academically ineligible for the fall semester Friday.
King also missed last season's Liberty Bowl due to academics.
"It's unfortunate Caleb will not be with us this season," Richt said in a prepared statement. "We wish him the best in whatever he decides to do. However, we have to move forward, and this will provide more opportunities for others to step up."
Those others are now Crowell, ESPN's No. 1 tailback nationally in the 2011 signing class, redshirt freshman Ken Malcome and redshirt junior Carlton Thomas. The 5-foot-7, 170-pound Thomas rushed 64 times for 272 yards last season and scored two touchdowns.
King signed with the Bulldogs in 2007 out of Greater Atlanta Christian as the No. 8 tailback nationally according to Rivals.com. After redshirting in '07, the 5-11, 217-pounder rushed for 247 yards in '08, 594 yards in '09 and 430 yards last season, when he not only missed the bowl but two midseason games after failing to appear in court to address a speeding ticket.
His highlights include rushing for 166 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-24 win at Georgia Tech in '09 and a two-touchdown game earlier that season at Vanderbilt when he was returning from a fractured jaw. He rushed for 100 yards last season at Colorado but had a costly fumble that sealed the 29-27 loss.
King played in 29 career games and made 10 starts, and he had 255 career rushes for 1,271 yards.
On his Twitter account Friday, King said that there are some things you can't control and that what seems bad right now might turn out to be good. A release from Georgia's athletic department stated "King indicated he will consider the options available to him before making a decision on his future plans."

One only hopes Caleb King will turn it around after losing a great opportunity for his life. Most of all I hope he does not become one of many who begin with high aspirations and end up on a trash heap after spiraling downward. Keep on trying man, you can still make it in life.

If there's a car bumper, a stray elbow, trash cans, or other unwanted clutter behind your subject, you usually have to shift over less than a foot or change your viewing angle just a few degrees to take it out. Also, when taking group photos, go for close-ups rather than full-body shots. You want to see your subjects' eyes and smiles more than the shoes they're wearing."

Flaming Lips / Outcast / Arcade Fire @ Fuji Rocks 2014
The transition from indie darlings to stadium-rockers is rarely a painless one, although a decade on from the release of its debut album "Funeral," Arcade Fire proved that it has at least navigated that path better than most. The band's performance was mature and assured, although lacking the latent spark of aggression that had originally marked it as such an exciting prospect. Occasionally there was a flicker of the Win Butler and co. of old, such as the wonderfully anarchic and incongruous modular synth solo during "Reflektor." The group's renditions of "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)" and "No Cars Go" were also particularly spirited, even if the latter's lyrics are perhaps a little bit too timely: "We know a place where no planes go."The Fuji Rock Festival has been happening has been happening the last weekend of July since 1997. Originally held at the Base of Japan's most famous mountain, since 2000 Fuji Rocks has happened at Naeba Ski Resort and the 2014 was last weekend (July 25 - 27), featuring Arcade Fire, Outkast, The Flaming Lips, Saint Vincent, Franz Ferdinand, White Lung, Slowdive, SBTRKT, Disclosure, The Waterboys, Yoko Ono and lots more over its three days. Pictures from all three days are in this post.
Conversely, it's hard to imagine The Flaming Lips ever changing their style for anyone. Wayne Coyne, as ever, looked delightfully shambolic, outfitted in a combination of tinfoil and an "Attack on Titan" cosplay bodysuit that he'd no doubt copped from Don Quijote the night before. Naturally, he was flanked by giant dancing mushrooms. The group wasted no time, jumping almost straight into fan favorite "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1″ while unleashing a shower of confetti, setting the tone for a relatively short but saccharine sweet love-in. - [Japan Times]
Outkast, Lorde, Temples are among the Fugi Rocks performers who are in Chicago's Grant Park this weekend for Lollapalooza. Lot more pictures from the 2014 Fuji Rocks Festival below...

Did Pharrell steal Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" riff for Paloma Faith song? Did FF steal it from Led Zeppelin?
by Bill Pearis
Franz Ferdinand @ Glasslands (more by P Squared)
Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos is a little miffed that the riff in Paloma Faith's new single "I Can't Rely on You" bears a little resemblance to "Take Me Out." (Via P4k.) He took to twitter to call out the song's writer, producer and featured performer -- Grammy-winner Pharrell. "Hey @Pharrell - I love your tunes. If you want to borrow a riff, just ask..."
The resemblance is definitely there, though I don't know that I would've noticed if it hadn't been pointed out to me. Also I probably would've never heard this song at all if it weren't for this. That said, I'm not sure he should really be throwing stones here. "Take Me Out," much as I love it, has a riff that owes more than a little to Led Zeppelin's "Trampled Underfoot."
Stravinsky said "lesser artists borrow, great artists steal." Listen to the trickle-down theory in action, below...

Franz Ferdinand @ Hammerstein Ballroom - 10/22/13
Scottish dance-punks Franz Ferdinand returned earlier this year with their fourth album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, and after doing a surprise, intimate show in Brooklyn over the summer, they brought their tour (which also hit Chicago) back to NYC this past Tuesday (10/22) to pick on a venue their own size, Hammerstein Ballroom. Opening the show was dream pop musician Frankie Rose (who played her own show a month ago) and Casual Sex.
Franz played a chunk of their new album at the show, but also delivered the hits, playing old favorites like "The Dark of the Matinee," "This Fire," "Michael," and "Take Me Out." Pictures from the show are in this post.
They continue, along with the full setlist and some videos, below...

After playing 'Live on Letterman' on Monday night (7/22), Franz Ferdinand stuck around NYC for a "listening party" for their new album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, at Glasslands last night (7/23). They were billed to be DJing the night, but they ended up more than DJing, and playing a surprise live set. Pictures, including one of the setlist, of the show are in this post.
Franz Ferdinand will return to NYC for a much larger, not surprise show when their tour hits Hammerstein Ballroom on October 22. Tickets for that show are still available.

Franz Ferdinand - 'Live on Letterman'
Franz Ferdinand are returning in August with Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, this first album since 2009, and last night (7/22) they came to NYC to tape an appearance on last night's The Late Show with David Letterman, where they performed "Right Action." After the taping, they stuck around the Ed Sullivan Theater to play a full set for the online series Live on Letterman. They played about half of the new album, and of course old favorites like "The Dark of the Matinee," "Ulysses," "Take Me Out," etc. Videos of both performances are below.
Franz are sticking around NYC for an album listening party at Glasslands tonight (7/23), which they'll also be DJing, along with guest DJ Liv Spencer. RSVP is closed. Their tour also brings them back to NYC for a live show on October 22 at Hammerstein Ballroom (tickets).

"It was a mixed bag for veteran acts on Saturday. On one hand, The Evens, featuring ex-Minor Threat and Fugazi man Ian MacKaye, drew a respectable (and respectful) Gobi Tent crowd early in the day; the Descendents' influential melodic-punk found a fairly large following at the Outdoor Theatre under the stars; and New Order brought a solid throng along for its night-capping Mojave Tent performance (despite going up against headlining Phoenix and post-rock favorites Sigur Rós, among others). But reunited D.C. garage-soul outfit The Make-Up, underground hip-hop icon El-P and British ska survivors The Selecter played to some of the weekend's sparsest audiences in the Gobi Tent."

If you miss those mid-'00s days when everyone had a music blog that they worked on during frequent downtime at their office job (was it just me who did that?) -- and the music people blogged about then -- you might want to check out UK band Citizens!, whose fizzy, danceable synthrock recalls the heyday of Franz Ferdinand and, um, Moving Units. In fact FF's Alex Kapranos produced Citizens!'s debut album, Here We Are, which is out now via keepers-of-the-flame label, Kitsune. You can watch a couple of the video from that below (the "True Romance" video is kinda amazing), along with a Spotify stream of the whole thing.
Citizens! just arrived in North America for a tour that will hit NYC on Monday (3/4) for a show at Music Hall of Williamsburg with HITS and Grayshot. Tickets for that show are still available. After that, the band will make it's way to Austin for you-know-what. All tour dates are listed below.

Franz Ferdinand / Jack White / Bloc Party, Outside Lands 8/12/2012
Outside Lands might be the only major festival where 93 percent of the musical acts on the bill could walk the grounds without getting recognized.San Francisco's Outside Lands Festival wrapped up another successful year on Sunday (8/12) with performances with performances from Stevie Wonder, Jack White Franz Ferdinand, Regina Spektor, fun., Bloc Party and loads more.
The headliners certainly had their fans - particularly the Vermont jam band Phish, which played nearly 3 1/2 hours of droopy guitar licks to twirling dancers on Friday. But the rest of the acts on the three-day bill drew less discriminating crowds.
On Sunday, the kids waiting for the Swedish electro-pop troupe Little Dragon to take the stage in Lindley Meadow sang along to the sounds of John Fogerty floating through the trees from the Polo Field. The 66-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and former leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival filled his hour-long set with classic rock staples such as "Bad Moon Rising" and "Up Around the Bend."
But turntables were as prevalent as guitars. One of the biggest draws of the weekend was Girl Talk, the 30-year-old Pittsburgh DJ Greg Gillis, who on Saturday in Speedway Meadow did nothing more than stitch together hundreds of familiar riffs and beats from other peoples' songs in rapid-fire bursts.
If you didn't know where to head at any given time, all you had to do was jump into the nearest stream of young people. It was almost impossible to go wrong with more than 70 acts on the bill, including the Black Keys, Foster the People, Best Coast, the Arctic Monkeys and the Roots. - [SF Gate]

Frank Ocean/Bloc Party at Lollapalooza - 8/4/12
Lollapalooza continued in Chicago's Grant Park yesterday (8/4) after beginning one day earlier (8/3). Day 2 gave us sets from Frank Ocean, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, tUnE-yArDs, The Tallest Man on Earth, Neon Indian, Chief Keef, Bear in Heaven, Washed Out, The Weeknd, and more. Unfortunately, during Neon Indian's set (which was cut short), the festival was shut down due to "dangerous weather," causing the tens of thousands of fans to flood the streets of Chicago in evacuation. But the fest reopened at 6 PM CST with an updated schedule. A number of performances were cancelled, including Alabama Shakes, B.O.B., Chairlift, and the Temper Trap, but others, like tUnE-yArDs, were rescheduled and took place at later times after the gates reopened.
If you aren't at the fest, have you been streaming it online? Today's stream begins at 1:30 CST.

Chicago Sun Times reports:
Lollapalooza has revealed its official 2012 list of performers -- a typically wide-ranging smorgasbord of genres and styles topped by nearly a dozen mainstage headliners: the Red Hot Chili Peppers, freshly reunited bands Black Sabbath and At the Drive-In, the Black Keys, Jack White, Florence + The Machine, the Shins and Passion Pit, plus spotlighted electronic music including Swedish house titan Avicii, French dance duo Justice and DJ-producer Bassnectar.Check out the full list below...
The annual music festival is scheduled for Aug. 3-5 in Chicago's Grant Park.
Rumored lineups have circulated widely, as they usually do, and Lollapalooza itself stoked the speculation in recent weeks via a series of CTA and online advertisements that seemed to hint at who would be playing.
The ads featured lyrics from such acts as Sigur Ros, Santigold, Jack White, Kimbra, Twin Shadow, the Weeknd, Bloc Party and more -- all bands that wound up on the bill.

Blondie announces tour in support of new album (that has a Beirut cover on it) --- dates, video & Franz Ferdinand too
New wave/post-punk pioneers Blondie recently released Panic of Girls in the UK, their third album since reuniting in 1997, and ninth overall. The album includes the single "Mother," which they recently performed live and acoustic from Abbey Road. Check that video out, which includes an interview below. The music video, which B-52 Kate Pierson makes a cameo in, for the track is below too.
Panic of Girls now has a US release date of September 13 via the band's own imprint. They will head out on a North American tour in September and October in support of the album's stateside release. The tour hits NYC on September 12 and 13 at Highline Ballroom. Ticket info is not available yet, but check ticketweb for updates.
Beirut, whose track "Sunday Smile" is covered by Blondie on Panic of Girls, also has a North American tour around that same time. Beirut's tour hits NYC on September 21 and 22 at Terminal 5. Tickets for both of those shows go on Amex presale Wednesday (7/6) and general sale Friday. Listen to the cover below.
Speaking of Blondie covering indie bands, Debbie Harry contributed a cover of Franz Ferdinand's "Live Alone" to their Record Store Day Covers EP with help from the band themselves. LCD Soundsystem offered their take on the same song, though their cover is twice as long (obviously). Stream the entire EP below, which also features covers by Stephin Merritt, ESG, and Peaches. The Record Store Day release was a limited edition colored 12" vinyl. A few are available on ebay. The EP is also now available as a CD and black vinyl. CD versions are on sale at Amazon.

DOWNLOAD: Orange Juice - Felicity (MP3)
In what I hope (but don't promise) to be a regular feature, I'm gonna recommend a couple notable new reissues. What with the holiday season it full swing, either of these would make good holiday presents for the serious indie music lover.
Firstly is Domino Records' new Orange Juice box set, Coals to Newcastle, that compiles nearly everything the Glasgow legends ever recorded. (The single mix of "Rip it Up" is mysteriously absent.) This marks the first time 85% of this material has ever been released in America. Polydor reissued their albums on CD in 1997 but they fell out of print almost immediately. You can now chart the band's progression from their shambolic, jangly beginnings on Postcard Records through myriad line-up changes and transformation into what could be called an indie equivalent of Chic. Even the weird stuff -- like the high life-inspired "Million Pleading Faces" on Rip It Up -- is pretty good. And even if, like me, you shelled out the dough in the mid-'90s for the Polydor reissues (which went out of print almost instantly) there's previously unreleased 12" mixes, dub versions, rough mixes, non-LP singles, radio sessions, live tracks, and interviews. There's also a DVD containing rare Orange Juice television special Dada with Juice, and a Derek Jarman-directed video for "What Presence?" that I'd never seen before. (Why is this not on Youtube?) At $70 it ain't cheap, but if you think of it as less than ten bucks a disc it's not so bad. And well worth the money. You can stream 18 tracks from the box set over at Domino's website and download classic OJ single "Felicity" above.
While on the subject, OJ's Edwyn Collins' new album, Losing Sleep, is one of the year's best. His first made since two brain haemorrhages nearly took his life in 2005 and left him at first without the ability to walk or talk, let alone write songs. That it exists at all is a miracle, that it's as great as it is a testament to his spirit. Helping him out on the album are a cavalcade of talent -- Johnny Marr, Roddy Frame, The Drums, The Cribs, Franz Ferdinand, The Magic Numbers -- but always in the service of getting Collins' songs on record. Like his last two albums, Losing Sleep hasn't been released in America but is well worth picking up on import. Hey Domino... how about putting this one out too.
Speaking of Domino, the label just reissued Robert Wyatt's entire back catalog on CD and vinyl. If you don't own Rock Bottom, Nothing Can Stop Us and Shleep... now is the perfect time. Then move on to the rest of his records.
The other notable reissue is the four-disc "Omnibus Edition" of The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall, my personal favorite Fall album. The 1984 record was the first fully made with Mark E. Smith's then-wife Brix, who brought pop smarts to the Mancunian band's somewhat difficult sound, and their first produced by the great John Leckie. Along with guitarist Craig Scanlon, bassist Steven Hanley and drummer Karl Burns this is the classic Fall lineup in my opinion. The Omnibus Edition restore's the album's original running order, putting singles from the same time "Oh Brother!," "C.R.E.E.P." and "No Bulbs" on the second disc with their b-sides and rough mixes of album tracks. The third collects radio sessions, and the fourth is a live recording from their performance at the 1984 Pandora's Music Box Festival in Norway (set time 3:15AM) that shows what a powerhouse live band the Fall were at the time. The box set sold out in the UK, but seems to be easily gettable here in the U.S.
Beggars Banquet also reissued The Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall on vinyl (just the album) which lets you hear classics like "2X4," "Slang King" and "Disney's Dream Debased" in their analogue glory. Also out on vinyl: its follow-up, This Nation's Saving Grace which is widely considered by people not me to be their best-ever album. (It is a very close second.) It gets the Omnibus treatment in January. Save up, kids.

"Yoshiaki's invaluable study explodes the claims of Japanese right-wing nationalists that comfort women were merely wartime prostitutes . . . Citing official military records and correspondence, he proves beyond doubt that the victims of this monstrous system were actually sex slaves subjected to repetitive rape and violence . . . [this book] belongs in most libraries." — Library Journal (starred review)
"As a piece of historical literature,Comfort Women is interesting as an in-depth look at the politics and psychology of a particular time, as much as it is a chronology of what happened to the comfort women and why they were forgotten. One of the most interesting things about it, however, is its unique place in history as the virtual smoking gun that supplied the damning evidence the world needed to hear in order to fully understand and come to grips with this issue....A convincing writer and powerful advocate, Yoshimi has shown by words and actions his willingness to campaign not only as an intellectual who loves the truth, but as a person of tough moral fiber who will stand up for human rights, even as a majority of one." — Martha Vickery, Korean Quarterly
"Crucial reading." — Katha Pollitt, The Nation
"Comfort Women's command of documentary materials makes it a landmark for historians, human rights activists and general readers." — Georgette Fleischer, Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Yoshimi, a reputable historian/scholar . . . has meticulously sleuthed out chronological data, exposing from its bitter outset that sordid, endless business of sexual slavery. Yoshimi's account extends to the essence of feminist political purpose . . . The book makes solid headway toward legitimizing his demands for public access to still-secret documents; acknowledging and apologizing for all violations of international law and war crimes and for failure to punish guilty parties; rehabilitating and compensating victims . . . A vigorous work, enhanced by a precise, graceful translation." — Choice
"it is necessary and compelling reading...invaluable addition...fascinating" — Wendy Anderson, Asian Studies Review
"An incisive and important book by a leading researcher on this extremely controversial topic." — John Dower, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, author of Pulitzer Prize-winning Embracing Defeat
"A compelling investigation of women and war, sexual violence, military organization, notions of maleness, ideas of Japaneseness, and concepts of reparations and civil rights." — Victoria de Grazia, Columbia University

My father worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and when we moved from Ontario backwoods to the City of Trail, we rented a railway house between the tracks and the Cominco smelter. Our front yard was the parking lot and our back was the railway tracks. The trains shuttling ore passed so close that I could hand the engineer a magazine from our upstairs window. It was difficult to sleep the first few days in the city, but after a week the engines passing by our window didn't disturb us one wink. This was a time of tension with the USSR and I believe we were one of the targets of the Soviets. At the time, Cominco was the largest non-ferrous smelter in the world, providing zinc and aluminum to the free market. The smelter still stands but our old residence is gone. Good riddance.

The Department of Ed is hoping to start a national dialogue around rising costs in higher education. As
the sector comes under increasing pressure to control rising costs and reduce student debt, what strategies is your institution using to address this critical challenge?
Secretary of Education Calls for Urgency on College Costs
Source: The New York Times
Date: 11/29/11
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan addressed a Las Vegas conference ...
As tuition levels have steadily increased, institutions and industry watchers have often wondered what the tipping point is – when students start turning away from higher education because it is simply out of reach. Some suggest that the time is near, as the down economy, diminished public funding, and stubbornly high unemployment rates make it difficult for institutions to deliver students the same value they once received for their investmen...

NORTHEAST KINGDOM–UCA ended its annual Spirit Week with a pair of varsity soccer matches. Once again, this years Spirit Week is in memory of former UCA student Eli Goss, who lost his life in a motor vehicle accident one year ago.
Varsity Boy's Coach Alyssa DeLaBruere said, "Even though he his not here, we can still feel him around us." While originally scheduled for a double-header at Gardner Park, the girl's game was moved to the North Country Junior High School, with the boy's remaining at Gardner.
WASHINGTON – Vermont's congressional delegation – Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch – and Gov. Peter Shumlin announced that over $200,000 in Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC) funds will go to support two economic development projects in Lyndon and Brighton.
The town of Brighton will receive $78,190 to construct a new 2,100 foot walking path along a section of Island Pond Lake, connecting it to the downtown area. This project resulted from a year-long study aimed at enhancing tourism and recreation in the community.
NEWPORT–The Champlain Valley Union Red Hawks came into the Kingdom with an impressive 7-1 record in 2011, and put on a display of technical soccer wonderment as they defeated the North Country Falcons 3-0.
"These are kids who play a lot of soccer together," said Assistant Coach Andrew Roy of the Red Hawks, "They are a talented group and they are skilled and are always thinking five passes ahead."
From the opening kick-off CVU were masters of their domain, displaying a very quick and high-finesse style, and, as Coach Roy said, seemed to be thinking several moves ahead.
NEWPORT CITY – Despite previous reports, enrollment in the North Country Supervisory District is not as gloomy as previously thought.
Last week Superintendent Robert Kern reported a decrease in student enrollment. However, figures printed earlier this week indicate that this is not necessarily the case.
"Enrollment changes from day to day," Kern said on Wednesday. Figures in late August and early September indicated numbers were down. "When we went back and looked at the most recent numbers, it looks like we increased almost one percent."
BARRE – Coventry Town Clerk Cynthia Diaz will serve no prison time for failure to file tax returns. Diaz entered a plea of guilty to two misdemeanor charges in Washington District Court on Wednesday. The state dismissed eight felony counts of failure to pay or file tax returns greater than $500 and six counts of filing false or fraudulent returns.
Diaz was sentenced to 15 days to six months, all suspended. She was placed on probation, will have to perform 100 hours of community service and file truthfully and correctly tax returns for 2003 through 2009.Â
NEWPORT, VT - Area activists came out in the cold Wednesday in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement that is spreading across the United States.
The protest seeks to call attention to the influence of big money on Washington politics and has drawn supporters from all political persuasions.
Many have complained that the federal government is spending tax dollars bailing out big businesses and "too big to fail" financial institutions while the working class is left economically stranded and paying the bill.
DERBY, VT - The Coutts Moriarty Summer Camp's new Education Lodge and Dining Hall is under construction at the upper camp level.
A foundation has been poured and workers are busy moving dirt. Donations are still being accepted to help with the project.
Coutts Camp has merged with non-profit, Siskin Ecological Adventures and provides 500 educational programs to over 10,000 school children each year.
ALBANY, VT - Sometime last weekend, two pickup trucks vandalized the ballpark in Albany Village.
Deep tire marks are shown here with tracks leading all around the park. The damage is believed to be in the thousands of dollars to repair. Although there are suspects, the Vermont State Police in Derby are investigating the incident and request your help.
Please call 334-8881 with any information that may help catch the perpetrators.
DERBY - The Derby Selectboard unanimously decided to sign a document addressed to the Public Service Board (PSB) requesting that they hold hearings on the Vermont Electric Company (VELCO) statewide radio project.
Beula- Jean Shattuck was absent from the meeting Monday evening.
The hope, according to selectboard member Karen Jenne, is that the hearings are held locally for public comment.
The motion to sign the document came with some controversy and negotiations. Jenne presented the letter to the board, which included the phrase, "The town wishes to comment further."
NEWPORT CITY – For much of the year, Tony Pomerleau is known for his business ventures in the forms of commercial real estate. During the holiday season, however, people call him Santa Claus.
"This year, the party will be bigger and better than ever," he told the Newport Daily Express.
For 30 years, Pomerleau has held a holiday party for needy families from the Burlington area. For the past three years, Pomerleau, who grew up in Newport, has hosted a similar party for families of the Northeast Kingdom.Â

Museum Watch: "Looking After Louis Sullivan" at the Art Institute of Chicago
Posted by David Ozanich — 7 Oct 2010
There's a show on right now called "Looking After Louis Sullivan" at the Art Institute of Chicago. Louis Sullivan, often called the "Father of the Modern Skyscraper," was terribly influential in the Chicago School that came to define much of the architectural taste in the late 1800s. The bright kids at MIT describe his architectural style and influence:
He replaced the standard classical ornamentation of the day with highly original, organic architectural details inspired by nature. One of Sullivan's most notable contributions was the creation of a form appropriate to the tall commercial office building. Rather than stressing the horizontal layers of each story, he emphasized the vertical rise of these buildings. Verticality was made possible by steel frame construction and the use of light materials such as terra cotta, which had a malleability appropriate for carrying out his ornament.
Here's an example, the Guaranty Building in Buffalo, New York:
I've always admired Sullivan's work. There's a landmark one in New York City at 65 Bleecker Street called the Bayard-Condict Building:
So that's a little taste of Louis Sullivan is in case you weren't aware. Meanwhile, the curators describe the show "Looking after Louis Sullivan: Photographs, Drawings, and Fragments" at the Art Institute:
In the 1950s, the photographers John Szarkowski, Aaron Siskind, and Richard Nickel embarked on in-depth photographic explorations of structures designed by the renowned architect Louis Sullivan, whose commercial buildings and theaters of the 1880s and early 1890s broke with historical precedents, displaying a radical, organic fusion of formal and functional elements. Attracted to Sullivan's renegade American spirit and uncompromising values, Szarkowski, Siskind, and Nickel also found inspiration in the play of light over his ornamented facades and the dynamism of his buildings within the bustling city of Chicago.
"Looking after Louis Sullivan" explores how these photographers employed the camera to document and interpret Sullivan's architecture and, in the process, helped shape his legacy.
Chicagoist went and checked out the show, though didn't seem to like the placement, thought the overall show was a winner.
The Art Institute has relegated a gem of an exhibit to the basement, sandwiched between offices and long, dim hallways, but "Looking After Louis Sullivan: Photographs, Drawings, and Fragments is worth leaving the airy Modern Wing for. ...
The exhibit is organized by photographer, making it easy to see how Nickel's close studies of geometry and form contrast to Szarkowksi's more epic views. ...
Together, the three photographers' works are an excellent primer for those uninitiated to Sullivan's architecture, and will give Sullivan enthusiasts plenty to salivate about.
All in all it sounds nifty to me. I've always liked architectural photography and this sounds like a thoughtful and appealing show. Go check it out. It's on view until December 12th.

The Gamblers
Sleater-Kinney Makes A Stab At Greatness With Its Ambitious New Album
The first gamble was to leave the safety of its Pacific Northwest turf and record in western New York with Dave Fridmann, who has also produced the Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. Fridmann challenged Brownstein and Tucker to make their guitar parts bigger and heavier; he even got Brownstein to play some actual solos.
Our music is more complex because we can do things that we couldnt do when we started the band, Tucker explains. Were all at a higher skill level, and were able to switch gears more easily. I can switch from a simple barre chord to an actual bass line on the guitar, and Carrie can switch from a repeating riff to an improvised solo. That adds to the dynamics. It allows us to write a very different kind of song, like Rollercoaster, which shifts into a whole other middle part and then back again.
The lyrics match the stakes raised by the guitars. Rollercoaster begins with some delightfully sexual food metaphors: Down at the market, pick out a ripe one/ Tempting me sorely, and I want to bite one. The lovers appetites wane with time, and the singer finds herself tumbling from the relationships highs as if on a roller coaster. As the churning music evokes the lyrics vertigo, Tucker asks if she can go back to the way things were. In other words, how can you keep the initial spark alive in a relationship or career as the years roll by?
These are dangerous but crucial questions for punk musiciansor anyone, reallywho find themselves moving past 30 (Brownstein turned 30 last year, Tucker is 32, and Weiss turns 40 in September). By lyrically asking these questionsand by not pretending to have ready-made answersSleater-Kinney takes the most important gamble that gives The Woods its claim to greatness.
The questioning you can do in a rock song is not always about coming up with a solution or providing an answer, Tucker says. Its more about wondering out loud. Weve written both kinds of songssongs about speaking our minds and saying what we think and songs that tell the story and question the way things are. One Beat [Sleater-Kinneys 2002 album] was overtly political and had a lot of real good protest songs on it. We wanted to do something different on this record. We wanted to make it more personal, more about telling stories, asking questions to which we didnt have the answers.
For me personally, part of that questioning is looking at how I balance my family and my rock n roll career, she continues. How do I make things as good as possible for my family and for myself and my music? How do I keep that passion alive in my relationships and in my art? The only way to do that is to be really honest with yourself and with the people around you.
True honesty, of course, is not always polite and intellectual. The new song Lets Call It Love begins with a throbbing, low-pitched guitar riff aimed between the knees and waist. Soon Tucker delivers an older womans blunt, taunting challenge to a lover, A woman is not a girl/ I could show you a thing or two . . . / Hit the floor, honey, lets battle it out. That wrestling match is echoed in Tuckers yelping squawks, Brownsteins thick slabs of noisy guitar, and Weiss hammering drums, as if Sleater-Kinney were imitating Heart imitating Led Zeppelin.
Neither of those latter bands, though, were willing to be skeptical of the sex they were pursuing. Sleater-Kinney constantly questions the bloody match it desires. Lets call it love, Tucker declares, but she knows full well that her lust only occasionally coincides with the love she needs just as desperately. That paradox erupts into a Brownstein guitar solo, as full of feedback and distortion as a Sonic Youth song; it goes on for more than five minutes before segueing into the albums final song, Night Light. The noise subsides, and Tucker asks, How do you do it [in] this bitter and bloody world/ keep it together and shine for your family?
Getting older, you hopefully get a little more wisdom, a little more perspective, Tucker says. You dont always have to write about yourself. Im trying to sing in different voices so I can be different characters in different songs.
Different characters lurk everywhere in The Woods. The Fox casts modern relationships as a childlike fable about a predatory fox and an ambivalent duck. Jumpers describes a San Francisco woman so lost in literal and psychic fog that she takes a taxi out to the Golden Gate Bridge where her falling shape will draw a line between the blue of sea and sky. The song ends before she gets out of the taxi, leaving the outcome uncertain.
Wilderness describes a pair of newlyweds in a town very much like Sleater-Kinneys current home base, Portland, Ore., a city where hippies run wild/ everythings white, now so are the smiles. The couple is soon quarreling despite the amiable environment, and in the last verse the narrator realizes that the whole nation is quarreling. The singer (Brownstein this time) hollers, A family feud, the Red and the Blue now . . . all our little wishes have run dry.
Here on the West Coast, theres a progressive bubble where people ride their bikes to work, vote Democratic, and believe that Bush couldnt possibly be re-elected, Tucker explains. When he was re-elected, that bubble burst.
But rather than say it like that, Carrie told a story about our people, and then related it to the larger picture, she continues. Thats a great way to tell a story, to look at a picture of our family and then see how that picture fits in the larger society. I think people can relate a lot better to a political song if its a small, human story threaded within a larger picture of our country and where its headed.
We are all likely to see ourselves in these 10 stories about shoppers and suicides, students and parents, seducers and musicians. In the howling guitars, we are likely to hear the irresistible force of our wants colliding with the immovable object of the world. We are likely to realize that those desires and frustrations are not limited to hipsters of a certain age and geography. In that sense, Sleater-Kinney has made its most political, most passionate album ever.

2011 Corporate Survey Results
Key findings
- While 73% of treasuries reported that they conducted hedge effectiveness testing, it was seen as one of the biggest challenges for them (27%).
- While hedge effectiveness continues to represent a major challenge, risk, in particular accurate risk assessment (29%), was also top of mind for Treasurers. 69% of respondents reported taking steps to adjust their risk management strategy and this included running scenarios/sensitivity analysis and calculating Value-at-Risk (VaR). These results were similar to last year's survey.
- Treasuries use derivatives to better manage their risk, but this year's survey found a decline compared to last year's survey. 75% reported using derivatives in the 2011 survey, compared to 83% of respondents in 2010. For those who are using derivatives, they are making adjustments to their portfolio and performing valuations less frequently than was indicated in the prior survey.
- The 2011 FINCAD Corporate Finance Survey also showed that treasuries were using counterparty pricing and spreadsheets as the prime methods for valuing their derivatives. Multiple, independent calculations are important to ensure that the valuations are accurate.
- As a matter of best-practice, corporations should calculate the Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) on all of their OTC derivative transactions. Despite 75% of respondents using OTC derivatives in their portfolio, only 40% felt that they needed to calculate the CVA for their derivatives valuations. Without CVA in their calculation, corporate treasuries face potential adjustments in their books if their auditor's valuations are different from their own.
- With all of the regulatory changes on the horizon, the majority of corporate treasuries felt that they would need to change the way they are doing business. 51% of respondents anticipated that the impact would be minimal, with minor changes needed, while 30% felt that the impact would be moderate and notable changes would be needed. Only 12% felt that they were well-prepared for regulations that lie ahead.

There are always going to be certain people that voice stupid and bigoted individual opinions.
You have to question at that point whether they have spoken for a political party. In this case clearly he did not - the UKIP do not have that policy.
By all means target the individual - but gross exageration and inference ignoring facts really isn't very grown up.
Does the Labour party think all citizens are bigots - just becuase of a comment from Gordon Brown some years ago? No of course not.
Are all conservatives "arrogant posh boys"? No of course not.

I don't see it as frying pan fire at all. Obviously you are totally brainwashed into thinking that the EU is the only option, but forget that Britain managed for centuries without ties to Continental Europe, and indeed had to rescue them from themselves in two major 20th century conflicts.

OBERLIN, Ohio – Scrawls of racially offensive graffiti and, more recently, a report of someone wearing what looked like a Ku Klux Klan-type hooded robe on campus have shaken students at historically liberal Oberlin College, one of the nation's first universities to admit blacks.
Two students are being investigated for possible involvement in the graffiti and are facing discipline by the college, but no criminal charges have been filed, said Oberlin city Police Chief Thomas Miller. It wasn't clear, he said, whether the culprits were pranksters or genuinely motivated by bigotry.
The college canceled Monday's classes after an early morning report of someone in a white, hooded robe. Investigators were trying to determine whether the sighting was reliable or related to a separate sighting of a person wrapped in a blanket.
Classes resumed Tuesday, though the atmosphere was still tense. The police department has stepped up patrols around the campus at the request of the college.
In an open letter, President Marvin Krislov and three deans told the campus they hoped the ordeal would lead to a stronger Oberlin. Students and professors gathered Monday afternoon to talk about mutual respect.
Hate-filled graffiti and racially charged displays are not unusual on college campuses. But what makes these episodes so shocking is that they happened at a place tied closely with educating and empowering blacks.
The incidents began the first week of February, according to a police report that detailed the defacement of Black History Month posters with the N-word, a whites only sign written above a water fountain and a swastika drawn on a science center window. Some of the graffiti and fliers also included homophobic slurs, the report said.

Main tables
Farm structure
Ad-hoc tables
Agricultural production
This summarises the main data in the Eurofarm database and contains the results of Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings, i.e. labour force, size of holdings, land use, livestock, subsistence farming. This domain also contains the main indicators on the structure of agricultural holdings by region.
This domain contains quarterly and annual data on agricultural price indices (2005=100) and annual data on absolute prices and agricultural land prices and rents. The agricultural price statistics provide information on the development of producer prices of agricultural products (output) as well as of the purchase prices (input) of the goods and services consumed by agriculture in the production process. Price indices data are available for single commodities and for larger aggregates at the country and EU level.
The countries concerned are the EU-27, candidate countries (Turkey) and other countries (Albania, countries from the former Yugoslavia, Norway).
'Organic farming' can be defined as a method of production which places the highest emphasis on environmental protection and, with regard to livestock production, animal welfare considerations. It avoids or largely reduces the use of synthetic chemical units such as fertilisers, pesticides, additives and medicinal products. It has to be understood as a part of a sustainable farming system and a viable alternative to the more traditional approaches to agriculture.
The database contains a set of summary tables intended to provide an overview of the situation regarding organic farming within the European Economic Area. It includes the number of certified operators (producers, transformers and importers), fully converted and under conversion organic agricultural area and organic livestock. The statistical information contained in the database refers only to organic farming practices that comply with EU legislation.
