News organizations help make sense of all the different moving parts of the health law -- attitudes, concerns, lawsuits and business decisions -- as the nation gears up for Oct. 1's launch of the health insurance exchanges.
Philly.com: Sorting Out Obamacare Facts From Fiction
We've been batting down bogus claims about the Affordable Care Act for years, since 2009, when legislation was still in the debate stage. But they've been increasing in intensity in recent months as we approach Oct. 1, the date the insurance exchanges will be open for business for those buying their own insurance, mainly with the help of federal subsidies. So, more than three years after our last health-care-whoppers piece (published just before the law was signed in 2010), we're giving readers a rundown of the top claims (Robertson, 9/17).
Minnesota Public Radio: 'Obamacare' Or 'Affordable Care Act'?
What's in a name? Everything when it comes to polling about the health care law, officially known as the Affordable Care Act. In a new Fox News poll, 55 percent of those surveyed held an unfavorable view of the new law when the pollster referred to it as the Affordable Care Act. But when the name was replaced by "Obamacare," the negative opinion increased to 60 percent. Seventy-five percent of Republicans viewed the Affordable Care Act unfavorably -- that jumped to 83 percent when "Obamacare" was used (Collins, 9/17).
The New York Times: Concern Over Drug Costs
Among the most troubling questions facing consumers as they shop for insurance under the Obama administration's new health care law is whether the plans will cover the drugs they take -- and how much they will have to pay for them. But with less than two weeks remaining until enrollment opens on Oct. 1, the answers are still elusive and anxiety is growing for consumers whose well-being depends on expensive medications (Thomas, 9/17).
Kaiser Health News: A Guide To The Lawsuits Challenging Obamacare's Contraception Coverage Requirements
Even with so much attention focused on the Oct. 1 launch of the health law's state insurance exchanges, one of the Affordable Care Act's most controversial elements is still percolating through the nation's legal system (9/17).
The New York Times: Reaping Profit After Assisting On Health Law
Washington's health care revolving door is spinning fast as the new online health insurance marketplaces, a central provision of President Obama's health care law, are set to open Oct. 1. Those who had a hand in the law's passage are now finding lucrative work in the private sector, as businesses try to understand the complex measure, reshape it by pressing for regulatory changes -- or profit from it (Stolberg, 9/17).

Like many local residents yesterday, Shannon Burke waited until the very last day to prepare for the impending snow storm.
The Hull resident walked out of the Lowe's on Bridge Street in Weymouth on Thursday afternoon with a shovel and flash light and she was on her way to the nearby Hingham Stop & Shop to buy some light snacks.
For Burke, that's all she needed for this storm which, she expects will keep her home-bound for the next few days.
Rick Smith needed a little more. He had bags of rock salt, bottles of wind-shield wiper fluid and a few shovels.
At the Hingham Stop & Shop Mark Walker of Weymouth, was buying cola to go with the Captain Morgan he just purchased at the nearby liquor store. Amy Fiske of North Weymouth was buying pet food for her cat.
Paula Giovanucci of Weymouth said she was preparing by fueling her home with gas.
"No one really knows exactly how bad this storm will be, but all we can do is prepare," she said.
Tell Us: What did you do to prepare for the storm??

Declining graduation rates and increasing student loan debts are topics of concern in Washington.
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Governor Rick Snyder has issued an order extending the energy state of emergency until March 1 due to a shortage of propane in the state.
The executive order extends hours of service waivers for those who deliver heating oil and propane, allowing them to exceed the number of hours and consecutive days in which they can work.
The propane shortage this winter has caused delivery delays and unusually high prices for customers.
The previous order was to expire at 11:59p.m. Tuesday.

A word from bacaro
Opened in 2001, bacaro sets the standard for fine dining in the Champaign-Urbana area. The contemporary and minimal interior features a sleek full service wine bar and lounge. In addition, a semi-private back room can accommodate larger parties. Chefs Thad Morrow and Drew Starkey work with over 12 local and sustainably driven farms, and the eclectic menu reflects the cultivation of these partnerships. Bacaro's "Market Monday", a weekly prix fixe dinner menu inspired by the local Farmer's Market, invites guests to enjoy the tastes and flavors of the season. The knowledgeable and polite staff can guide any guest through the menu and the extensive wine list.Continued

- This place is hit & miss944turboDined on 9/27/2014Been here 4 times. The first time we were underwhelmed. The next 2 times were fabulous. Most recently on out anniversary my wife and I dined here. Risotto & Guineafowl was good. Not great but good. My wife's ribeye on the other hand was awful. We really should have sent it back. Server was aloof and no help whatsoever when we asked her for an appetizer selection. I am sure we will roll the dice and eat here again because we know how good it can be but just be aware that the service and food here is inconsistent. At these prices, should be spot on ever time and it just isn't.
- Tasting menu wine/food ratio offJune1Dined on 9/27/2014We have chosen to experience tasting menu for many years to celebrate special occasions. However, now after 2 tries in 2014, we will no longer choose this option because the proportion of wine to food is not ideal. While the food and pairings are still excellent, we now have to wait a long time before getting any wine (thru starter bread). The wine pairings are brought out 10 min before each course, however the amount of wine is so little that it can either be consumed entirely before the course or one has to just wait. There used to be prosecco starter and wine with cheese too. Now there is too much food and not enough wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MorganMorganDined on 9/26/2014We had a great meal on Friday night. Food was great, portion sizes were perfect, and service outstanding. Our next visit to Champaign we will return.Special Features:
- Wonderful AgainIndianaHemingwayDined on 9/20/2014We visited Bacaro for the first time two years ago, and were thrilled to find that it is even better the second time around. I had the Roasted Pork Shoulder and it is no exaggeration to say that it was one of the best pork dishes I have ever had. Served in a deep dish with wonderfully flavored beans and a subtle peach sauce, it literally fell off the bone as I cut it with my fork. Our server enhanced every aspect of our meal with his pleasant demeanor. Although there is a full list of appetizers and desserts available we found that when we finished our main courses we were pleasantly full. We will be back again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic!RyanGroffDined on 9/20/2014My wife and I try to go here at least once or twice a year, and we've never been let down.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, but not enoughsatodonDined on 9/16/2014We (my husband, my son, and I) ordered the "Tuesday dinner full course" - The quality of the food was good, overall. We particularly liked the appetizer, cucumber with lemon ricotta. Sea scallops were good too. We also liked the ice cream(with the cayenne pepper). We were dissatisfied the quantities of the food. After we finished the meal, we were still hungry.Special Features:
- BacaroTimVDined on 9/6/2014This was our 1st time at Bacaro. Very nice restaurant tucked off the busy main streets. Small menu with well thought out cuisine. Small portions with great flavor combinations. One step above which I always prefer is our server recommended items to also enjoy as a group, along with how the chef would like the entree prepared. (customers often order items that weren't ever intended to be prepared as requested) Excellent wine list with majority served by bottle. Limited selection by the glass encouraging you to stay and enjoy the evening with friends. Overall, I enjoyed BacaroSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great mealgoodfoodlvrDined on 8/31/2014We had the tasting menu. Went there for a birthday and they started us out with a glass of complementary champagne, very nice! Each course was excellent and we had a very enjoyable evening there. I would highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentFoody4LifeDined on 8/30/2014Excellent food and ambiance but would have liked to have a more leisurely meal--felt a bit rushed. Unacceptable w/fine dining unless customer asks for speedy service due to going on to a secondary event. In spite of previous comment, the wait staff was extremely attentive and knowledgeable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently deliciousLisaVIPDined on 8/29/2014We have never been disappointed when we dine here. Pricey but delicious. Excellent service. Any scallop dish is amazing. Salmon, rib eye and pasta dishes are excellent. Only thing we didn't like was the acoustics in the bar area. Food and service are wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fair, but left much to be desiredcharstarDined on 8/29/2014The feeling of the restaurant was great. The staff was very friendly and professional. The only letdown was the food. I ordered the Pork Shoulder; What I got was a hunk of pig fat with a bit of meat. The meat itself tasted great, as did the garnish, but there was not much there for the price.Special Features:
- Supposed to be best in townDisappointedDined on 8/19/2014While we have eaten in this restaurant several times and all in all it was always fairly good, this was a big disappointment. The service was awful - after delivering the wine, the waiter never showed up. It took over two hours for a 3-course meal. The salad was the only good item. The quail was reheated, the stuffing cold and it all looked like a mess. Nothing else on the plate and it took 45 min. to get it. Dessert was not very good either. the management did apologize and ended up not charging us for the meal, including the wine and even gave a certificate which we declined.Special Features:
- Wonderful experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/16/2014My wife and I were in Champaign on business and had the opportunity to eat here. We both enjoyed this experience. The food was fabulous and the service was well done. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. If we lived in Champaign, we would become regulars!Special Features:
- WonderfulVishalVDined on 8/16/2014We live here, in Champaign, yet we never had dined here before. We were very pleasantly surprised at how good the food was, as were the service and wine selection. This may be my new favorite fine dining restaurant in Champaign-Urbana.Special Features:
- Date night blissFoodSnobDined on 8/9/2014Bacaro creates innovative & inventive food in a charming, midwest college town. Bacaro offers a versatile menu that is creative without being overly ambitious and odd. There is something for every desire (fish, veggie, pasta, beef, etc) You won't leave hungry either. The wine list is unsurpassed in Champaign and the 'by the bottle' wine list is extensive (a bit on the expensive side). They offer a wide variety of sweet treats to finish & fit every palate. This was money well spent on well-rounded meal. I'd be happy to have date night here anytime!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful food!ahfoodDined on 8/2/2014We had the tuna and kobe beef with truffles specials. Both were very delicious and cooked to perfection. Our waitress was perfect. We were celebrating our 35th anniversary and were given champagne to help with the celebration. Thank you very much for that special touch! The wine our waitress helped pick out to go with the tuna was wonderful too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a treatrachDined on 7/25/2014Good for big city out-of-towners. Return visit for our guest.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Menu EverOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/21/2014Every Monday Bacaro's menu changes and it is always a unique experience. Never get bored eating here. Fantastic chefs and staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RosaDined on 7/12/2014The food was not very good. Strawberries were forgotten in the salad, and it was very salty. My pizetta had no salt. The zuchinni in my main course was cold and too salty. The lamb was extremely spicy on one corner. It was much better some time ago.Special Features:
- Bacaro reviewmaggiebliuDined on 7/12/2014We ate dinner on a Saturday evening and had a wonderful time. We ordered a bottle of champagne and it was very nice and reasonably priced. The food was excellent although for the price, the portions were too small. But the combination of ingredients was inventive and delicious. The only downside to the food was the dessert. We ordered a chocolate dessert for 3 of us to share. We were surprised and disappointed to be served 3 small chocolate truffles and 3 berries. It was more like an after dinner mint than a dessert; again, overpriced for what we got. But overall it was a good experience and we would go back for a special occasion.Special Features:
- Fabulous food & wineeclecticdinerDined on 7/11/2014Bacaro is known for its wine, but what I think is less well-known is that it has a wonderful dinner menu. We enjoyed some amazing wine and wonderful food with friends for my husband's birthday. The gazpacho was fabulous on a hot day and the salmon was cooked perfectly. My husband loved his scallops. Everyone raved about their dishes and the wine.Special Features:
- Husband's BirthdayOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/8/2014This place is great on its own, but when its for a special occasion, they really go all our - the had a special menu printed and at the top it said Happy Birthday to my husband. Nice touch. Food was spectacular and the wine pairings were spot on. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A great special occasion dinnerrachDined on 7/8/2014Up to regular high standards. Service was exceptional on this occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely PlaceFawkesDined on 7/5/2014I'm not sure what we loved more, the food or our amazing server Tiffany! With everything we had, there wasn't one dish that wasn't worth its price tag. Living in Chicago, I joke "the more expensive the menu, the smaller the portions," most of which don't ever live up to its expensive price tag, but I can't say that here. Everything we had tasted fresh which you have to love when dining out. Growing up in Chambana, I'm surprised my wife and I hadn't heard of Bacaro before, especially having been around for 12+ years. However, I'm sure we'll make it back there before another decades passes ^_^Special Features:
- BocarosshampoobananafoodieDined on 7/5/2014We had dinner here on a recent Saturday night. It was our first visit and we had a very nice time. We liked the decor and the ambience. The food was for the most part exceptional. We thought the wine list was good but ordered a second bottle which they didn't have. The service was excellent-attentive but not hovering and certainly not stuffy. We are going to add this to our local list of restaurants worthy of a future visits.Special Features:
- A delightful experienceToobadsosadDined on 6/29/2014Have you ever eaten at a restaurant where every course had its element of surprise and delight? That's how I found bacaro's. I was in Champaign over a weekend and ate at bacaro's twice. I'd go back again. Unfortunately, you will have to contend with street parking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- we did the "tasting menu"casualfoodieDined on 6/29/2014Bacaro offers a seven course taste menue along with recommended wines with most of the courses. Yes, the portions are tiny,but it is intended to be a taste. Everything is wonderfully prepared. Unusual enough to be interesting, but not so curious that it felt weird. Server was knowledgeable and discrete. This was an anniversary event for us so we felt free to splurge in terms of cost. With all seven courses it was a three hour taste event and very enjoyable to us both.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingGuidoDined on 6/23/2014Fixed price dinner at a highly rated restaurant -- what could go wrong?. Well, things started well with a lovely salad. Then came the cheviche, microscopic bits of scallop with shaved radish, all fairly bland. The main course was described as pork with curried vegetables and rice. This was absolutely tasteless. The curry must have gone to other diners. The desert was a decent tres leches cake, but it didn't make up for the main course. On the plus side, the service was excellent. If we go again, we'll choose from the menu.
- BacarodinerduoDined on 6/21/2014Food is excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- Another great mealangusmurphyDined on 6/21/2014We have eaten at Bacaro's multiple times. It is our go-to place when we have visitors in town or have a special occasion to celebrate. The food is always outstanding and they have an excellent wine list. It is a good place to go when you have people with varying tastes. Our group included steak lovers, fish lovers, and vegetarians and everyone easily found a dish to satisfy their tastes. They use a lot of seasonal and locally grown ingredients and the portion sizes are not humongous so you can try a starter and still enjoy your entrée. Overall, Bacaro's is my top pick in Champaign-Urbana.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very expensive, not much to selectmahometcoupleDined on 6/13/2014Bacaro is a good choice if you want an expensive restaurant with an extensive wine collection. If you have simple tastes (i.e., just a steak/potatoes person) this is not the place for you. We had a difficult time selecting a meal from the menu that appealed to us. Many items were quite expensive (for example, $38 for a steak). There were only a few diners here on a Friday night, but most nearby restaurants were bustling at this time. It's definitely not a place for kids, as there would be few, if any, choices for children. Our waiter was excellent; she described dishes when we asked about them and was attentive. We hoped for a nice dessert but found the dessert selections limited.Special Features:
- Market Monday-- a Must!snailgrrDined on 6/9/2014Take advantage of the ever-changing Monday menu... Always fresh, always in inventive, always delicious. Watch Facebook for advance notice on the week's special menu based off of the bounty from the Farmer's Market.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not the Best Food ExperienceEatOutALotDined on 6/7/2014Had family in town for a birthday celebration and went to dinner at Bacaro on a Saturday night. Usually enjoy Bacaro's food, but this time both my spouse and I thought our meal was quite fatty (lamb) and while someone else in our group said the scallops were wonderful, the dish was small (3 scallops for $32). The same person ordered the beet salad for a starter, which had 5 beet cubes on it (for $12). The other disappointment was that someone in our party ordered a drink that the bar couldn't or wouldn't make, even though he's had it there before. Usually I would give Bacaro a higher rating, but this particular experience wasn't anything to write home about.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 712 reviews are from the bacaro reviews archive.
- Every course is a work of artFionetteDined on 6/2/2014We went for our anniversary to a Monday tasting menu, which featured truffles, and the wine pairing. A splurge. It was delightful and well paced. Hard to return to the everyday after that! A meat course would have rounded it out a little more and suited the truffles.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- perfect anniversary spotOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 6/2/2014We enjoyed our 30th anniversary at Bacaro, on a Market Monday. We've been several times and always enjoy the tasting menu when we can. The truffle-infused menu was superb and the service excellent.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 5/31/2014Our server, Melody, was superb, as were the bartenders, managers, and all of the other staff. They accommodated all of ours group's reasonable requests (and some excessive requests). We were celebrating a birthday and Melody made it fun, memorable and special. Thanks to all!Special Features:
- Great DateDWK1Dined on 5/30/2014Most of all we enjoyed the Tasting Menu with wine pairing, but we also appreciated the ambiance and service. We were delighted with the second course's generous portion of fried morel mushrooms; a real seasonal treat. My wife found a wine she really enjoyed that we were able to purchase and take home.Special Features:
- Great for special occasionsDanielDined on 5/29/2014The food has always been outstanding, and the presentation is excellent. Each food item has so much flavor, and it is clear that a lot of thought goes in to each individual ingredient, as they all compliment one another.Special Features:
- amazing menu, great foodhungrymammaDined on 5/18/2014Went out for anniversary dinner 1 week after having baby...so lots to celebrate. I dont think the waiter realized we were foodies willing to spend $$$ for our meal. We ordered 2 starters and 1 pasta to split, plus 2 entres. Server brought out the 1st three dishes together, not serving the pasta as 2nd course. He did make great wine recommendation for entres. He was fine for any other restaurant in town but bacaro has much higher standards and I did not feel he met those.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wines not Worth ItBillinoisDined on 5/15/2014We went for a tasting of Tuscan wines and we're disappointed. $20 per person for a few sips. No bread or snacks of any kind. We won't do this again. Service was excellent, however.

The only thing you'll need is your shooting equipment, a pool table, billiard balls and a quarter. A quarter? Yes a quarter. In this article we will go over the geometry and some very minor physics to help you improve your rail, bank and kick shots. There are two fundamental errors that most shooters make when performing these shots.
The 8 ball break, like anything else in pool, requires some time to become proficient at. Without developing the proficiency at it there is a good chance of scratching on the break. Despite that, since numerous people ask me all the time how I manage to get so many 8 ball breaks I thought I would share the technique with you.
This week we are experimenting with QR Codes and learning about SEO (Search Engine Optimization). So we are having to post something in regards to this assignment on our personal blogs that were started for this class. So, here is a link created by bitly for the interactive writing classes collaberative project. Please check it out and help the class exceed the expectations of the professor with the number of clicks on the site. Thanks. http://bit.ly/w7IAoy
Improving your stroke is one of the most important aspects of the game of pool when it comes to fundamentals. There are so many methods to do this and none are any better than the others. It really is a matter of what works best for you as an individual. What I will discuss in this post are the methods that I personally use to improve and fine tune my stroke. This is something that I have personally spent many hours working on because of its importance.
Generally, when most people think of a jump shot, they think about "scooping" the cue ball instead of a legal jump. "Scooping" is done when a player causes the cue ball to jump off the table as the result of stroking under it with the cue, as shown here.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I wish there was some way to use your phone to text somebody but instead of typing stuff you would say it out loud into the phone or something and the other person could hear you and they would just talk out loud back to you.
So, like a walkie talkie? It's called voxer.

Fantastic route, easily 2 stars and my first multi pitch E2 I believe. Don't know why the guide said it was super strenuous, compared to E2's like Banshee on the ramp I didn't really get all that pumped. I think it gets the grade mainly from the fact that the crux section is still fairly hard and sequency and you are quite a long way above your last bit of gear when doing it.Quarryboy - AltLd O/S - 24/Mar/12 with Rob Stanfield

I have been a pastoral psychotherapist for over 40 years and my focus is on the needs and concerns of Christians seeking help. I have taught counseling in theological seminaries for 20 years as well. Christian counseling is not preaching or indoctrinating, but rather works from a committed Christian perspective to deal in an open way with the kinds of issues common to most people—depression, relationship problems, self-esteem difficulties and conflicts in sexuality or religious faith.. I use both theological and psychological resources to deepen my understanding of the therapeutic relationship.
As a Christian, I can help you to determine where you are in your spiritual life with the intent of moving toward clarity in what may be keeping you from the freedom and abundant life that Christ promised to His children. I integrate scripture as desired by the client. I am not as interested in how well versed you are in a religious system as I am with what your faith does for you everyday. I have had seminary-level Bible training.

Why Local
If you change only one thing about the way you shop, experts agree, hands-down, you should go to the farmers' market when you can. You'll be decreasing the distance, an average 1,500 miles, that your food will have traveled to reach your plate, so fewer greenhouse gases will have been released into the air in order to feed you. Less known is the cascade of other great benefits: Vegetables and fruits grown nearby are not picked as early as produce that comes from farther away, so they "have longer to ripen, less need to be sprayed later with artificial growth enhancers or coloring, less time to deteriorate nutritionally -- and are picked at the peak of their taste quality," explains Pollan. "Just think about how you can barely get summer tomatoes or peaches home without bruising them. So imagine them on a truck from South America. It's not natural that they're in such perfect condition at your grocery store."
What's more, by supporting your local farmer, you're keeping him or her in business, which is to say, you are helping farmland stay in the hands of people who are likely to use earth-friendly, sustainable methods, says Pollan. (Nearly 300,000 midsize farms disappeared between 1982 and 1997, about 25 percent of such farms in the country.) Also, land that is farmland is not urban sprawl. As Pollan points out, this means shorter commutes, less traffic, and fewer fuel-burning emissions. In turn you have cleaner air, the preservation of natural habitats, more birds and wildlife -- a healthier ecosystem.

I agree with both of you! Raising animals for food uses unheard of amounts of the planets resources so this is not something you can ignore if you truly care about the planet! Don't believe me? Please research this! And alexkoy- being a vegetarian is a great start but if you're doing it because you care about animals then you should definitely consider transitioning in a vegan, the completely cruelty-free decision!

The wired homeless: Finding shelter through Twitter
"Housing isn't the solution to homelessness. You also need community," said Mark Horvath.
Founder of InvisiblePeople.tv — a site of raw, uncut videos of homeless people telling their own stories—Horvath was once homeless himself in 1995. So he's no small advocate for solving the homelessness problem in the United States, and he believes social media will play no small part in doing so.

Bankruptcy Credit Cards
A credit card after bankruptcy? It is possible! You may thinking that obtaining any type of credit card after having filed a Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy is an extremely bad idea. However, they can help in reestablishing your credit reputation and history, as well as being quite easy to get.
Once you get the credit card after bankruptcy, it is extremely important that you always make the payment on time, as well as continually pay the balance. Doing so will help you in opening up other roads such as home loans, personal loans, or car loans.
However, it is important to take extreme care when you apply for a credit card after bankruptcy. Avoid jumping at each credit card offered by any company. They may offer the credit cards to you; however, they will come with low spending limits and high interest rates, when compared to those who have not filed for bankruptcy.
You might feel flatterd that these companies are working hard to receive your business, however, avoid being fooled and overextended by their offers. Many bankuptcy remortgage aware companies are well aware of the fact that people who have filed bankruptcy are looking for ways to improve their credit rating; therefore, they may just offer you more than you imagined. Take great care in choosing credit cards and do not allow yourself to fall back into the spiral of debt.
You should have a goal when you obtain a credit card after bankruptcy and it should be to reestablish your credit rating. You should not run out and take a vacation, buy things you do not need, or simply go on a shopping spree. You now have a big negative black mark on your credit report, if you are wanting to rebuild it, you need to take care of your finances, obtaining a credit card after bankruptcy could help you.
Note: If you are looking to find a mortgage for property development then you need to try the specialist companies who provide property development mortgages.
Use common sense and restraint when using the credit card. Only make small purchases that you would be able to pay off in full each month. This will greatly help you improve your credit rating and reputation. You may find with this kind of discipline that the company offers to raise the spending limit and reduce the amount of interest charged, after six months.

What a job!
No one wants to hear about jobs and working. Needless to say, I've had plenty of different jobs from the time I was oh
about ten until now. Cheez! I've discovered that as the old saying goes: in life, you've got to wear a lot of different
hats. Sometimes they don't fit just right, they itch or they just plain fly off, but, somehow, you get through them. Let's
just say, I've never been happier than now. As a writer, I've finally fulfilled a dream. So all of you who read this remember
to hold onto your dreams, work hard, don't be nasty and never, Never, give up.

John Bryson Hands Barack Obama His Resignation Letter
Secretary of Commerce John Bryson is resigning. Just as Eric Holder is being help in contempt of Congress. Coincidence? I don't think so. What's John Bryson trying to hide? Is he drunk?!
John Bryson resigned as Commerce Secretary, calling an end to the medical leave of absence he'd been on since a seizure caused his involvement in two car accidents in early June.
"I have come to the conclusion that I need to step down to prevent distractions from this critical mission," Bryson wrote in a letter to Commerce Department staff.
Oh, right. I forgot he's been having unfortunate medical problems lately. Sorry. Like the American Crossroads Twitter account, I have a serious problem with jumping to embarrassing conclusions.
Rebecca Blank, Bryson's deputy, will continue to serve as acting commerce secretary.
Blank has a reputation for having her fingers on the pulse of the department, after previously serving as acting secretary for about three months last year while Bryson awaited Senate confirmation. A poverty expert and formerly the dean of the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, she is not the kind of retired corporate executive or political insider who typically runs the department.
A poverty expert?! Oh my God! She's a socialist! She's probably also drunk!

Meet John Bryson, Secretary of Commerce and Felony Suspect
Good morning, America. Did you know you had a Commerce Secretary named John Bryson? I was under the vague impression that this cabinet post was occupied by Token Asian-American Guy, but it turns out Gary Locke has been ably serving as Ambassador to China since August 2011, while Bryson has led our least notable federal agency since receiving Senate confirmation in October of last year.
Why are we learning about the existence of Bryson just now? I'm sure it has something to do with his stewardship of the National Institutes of Standards and Technology and the Bureau of Economic Analysis…
Bryson was driving a Lexus in the 400 block of South San Gabriel Boulevard shortly after 5 p.m. Saturday, when he allegedly rear-ended a Buick as it was waiting for a train to pass, according to a statement released by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department and the San Gabriel Police Department.
After briefly stopping to talk to the three men inside the Buick, Bryson left the location in the Lexus and then struck the Buick a second time, authorities said. The men followed Bryson's car and called 911 to ask for police assistance.
C'mon, reality. The Tonys are over. I expect this kind of didactic nonsense from Broadway producers, maybe Hollywood on its bad days, but real-world symbolism requires a little more nuance than an Obama Commerce Secretary crashing his Japanese-made car into an American Buick, just as the economic news is dominated by coverage of a slowdown in jobs growth…
Bryson continued to drive his Lexus into Rosemead, which is patrolled by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. There, he allegedly crashed into a second vehicle near the intersection of San Gabriel Boulevard and Hellman Avenue.
There authorities found him alone and unconscious behind the wheel of his car.
That's a hit and run, and a hit. Somewhere, a hack screenplay writer is readying a copyright lawsuit, which might work were it not for the Commerce Department's purview over the Patent and Trademark Office.
Despite a clean Breathalyzer result and suspicions that the crash was the result of a medical condition, drugs and alcohol have yet to be ruled out as causes, because considering the travails of previous Obama Commerce nominees, Bill Richardson and Judd Gregg, and the nature of the job, it would take some pretty serious stuff to convince anyone that this was a position worth accepting.
UPDATE, 10:00 Eastern: According to a statement from the Department of Commerce, Bryson suffered a seizure in connection with the above incident. We hope he's well.

NMR structure of the UBA domain of p62 (SQSTM1)
The p62 protein (also known as SQSTM1) mediates diverse cellular functions including control of NFkappaB signaling and transcriptional activation. p62 binds non-covalently to ubiquitin and co-localizes with ubiquitylated inclusions in a number of human protein aggregation diseases. Mutations in the gene encoding p62 cause Paget's disease of bone (PDB), a common disorder of the elderly characterized by excessive bone resorption and formation. All of the p62 PDB mutations identified to date cluster within the C-terminal region of the protein, which shows low sequence identity to previously characterized ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains. We report the first NMR structure of a recombinant polypeptide that contains the C-terminal UBA domain of the human p62 protein (residues 387-436). This sequence, which confers multiubiquitin chain binding, forms a compact three-helix bundle with a structure analogous to the UBA domains of HHR23A but with differences in the loop regions connecting helices that may be involved in binding accessory proteins. We show that the Pro392 --> Leu PDB substitution mutation modifies the structure of the UBA domain by extending the N terminus of helix 1. In contrast to the p62 PDB deletion mutations that remove the UBA domain and ablate multiubiquitin chain binding, the Pro392 --> Leu substitution does not affect interaction of the UBA domain with multiubiquitin chains. Thus, phenotypically identical substitution and deletion mutations do not appear to predispose to PDB through a mechanism dependent on a common loss of ubiquitin chain binding by p62.
Structure of the ubiquitin-associated domain of p62 (SQSTM1) and implications for mutations that cause Paget's disease of bone., Ciani B, Layfield R, Cavey JR, Sheppard PW, Searle MS, J Biol Chem. 2003 Sep 26;278(39):37409-12. Epub 2003 Jul 11. PMID:12857745
From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
[SQSTM_HUMAN] Defects in SQSTM1 are a cause of Paget disease of bone (PDB) [MIM:602080]. PDB is a metabolic bone disease affecting the axial skeleton and characterized by focal areas of increased and disorganized bone turn-over due to activated osteoclasts. Manifestations of the disease include bone pain, deformity, pathological fractures, deafness, neurological complications and increased risk of osteosarcoma. PDB is a chronic disease affecting 2 to 3% of the population above the age of 40 years.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Note=In a cell model for Huntington disease (HD), appears to form a shell surrounding aggregates of mutant HTT that may protect cells from apoptosis, possibly by recruiting autophagosomal components to the polyubiquitinylated protein aggregates.[9]
[SQSTM_HUMAN] Required both for the formation and autophagic degradation of polyubiquitin-containing bodies, called ALIS (aggresome-like induced structures). Links ALIS to the autophagic machinery via direct interaction with MAP1 LC3 family members. May regulate the activation of NFKB1 by TNF-alpha, nerve growth factor (NGF) and interleukin-1. May play a role in titin/TTN downstream signaling in muscle cells. May regulate signaling cascades through ubiquitination. Adapter that mediates the interaction between TRAF6 and CYLD (By similarity). May be involved in cell differentiation, apoptosis, immune response and regulation of K(+) channels.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]

Ronda Rousey Gets Tag Teamed By 3 Men – Judo Match On Japanese Game Show.
lol @tag teamed
I am afraid of the future…Japan survived 3 atomic catastrophic events: Nagasaki, Hiroshima and Fukushima…they survive everything….they are weird…are they human??? I think the first Japanese came from another planet..they were set out here to see if they can adapt in an unknown environment…it's a little bit strange that they are so excited about robots right..omg..we are all going to die…
Dude, thats a let down.
i just read " RONDA GETS TAG TEAMED BY 3 MEN "
never have a been more dissapointed..
Seems to take herself a wee bit too seriously. It looked like the Japanese girl at the end was quite sad at the outcome lol.
man ronda did kick there sorry japanese ass,she can throw me around like ragdol any day of the week,bruno wtf with did weird video clip??
Bruno: Because I Fink Ronda's Freeky and I like her alot.
Crazy Japs, always looking to do something funny and outrageous. They're all about pure entertainment. Was cool to see Rousey doing only Judo. Kaufman is going down.
That last match looked like a dance at a senior center
I fink that video was really fcked up. But I did like it……..alot.
@ Wow-LMAO…Yes, Bruno, you out did yourself with the title there…
(I like you a lot)
she is fighting old men first, n wat the hell is dat bruno freaky
Put her on ninja warrior. I'd like to see that over the judo show.
The Rousey vid was just so-so, but I Fink that 2nd vid was freaky, and the rat knew what time it was @3:44!!!
LMAO at the title of this vid.. we only wish u had video of that!
Chill with that japanese racism. That sad lady was mad funny though. I imagined her thinking, "wow, all I can do is look pretty and giggle, and she just dominated three dudes in a row, easy."
I was really hoping that this was going to be p***
Damn, she wore out all three of those dudes.
People can say whatever they want about Rousey, but she is a fierce fighter and that's all I care about.
And, I agree with Bruno: she's freeky!
Thats one weird friggin video….
That was one f***** up music clip..
After reading the first 7 words in the heading I got aroused thinking "Yes, finally my prayers have been answered"
I hope she knows they are not being serious lol
she is taking it as if they are 100% trying

V-103 morning host Frank Ski has gotten his contract extension and will be on the station for at least another year.
I don't know any details of the contract because Ski and his agent are contract-bound to say nothing about it. So did he get a raise? Is he staying one year, two years, three years or longer? Only a handful of people know that. Although Ski isn't universally loved by any means (based on comments on this blog), his ratings have been nothing short of extraordinary lately. He's No. 1 virtually across the board and pulled in an unbelievable 20 percent of the 18-34 demo in September with his co-host Wanda Smith.
V-103 as a whole is pulling in some of the best numbers of any station in the top 10 markets.
The timing of the ratings jump certainly helped him get the contract extension, even in a lousy economy and afternoon host (and arguably more beloved) Ryan Cameron waiting in the wings.
V-103's General Manager Rick Caffey is notoriously tightlipped about personnel matters. In fact, he brought the royal hurt on Mark Trig, Ski's agent, after Trig gabbed to me in July saying he was certain Ski would get a raise. Trig now can only say he's happy with the situation. Even the usually gabby Ski referred to his agent for any comment.
Caffey, as per tradition, declined to comment. Just the fact he signed a renewal is all that needs to be said.

Congrats to Frank, he must be doing something right. I personally don't like much of the music they play but then again it is not geared towards my age group. Nevertheless, I enjoy many of his topics and his work with the young people and the community. I don't have any issue with Wanda, but they really should get rid of Ms. Sophia, it is just not a good fit and is annoying.
October 29th, 2009
3:51 pm
Hate the music but I do tune in to hear his topics. He is very informative and has the pulse on a variety of issues. I like hearing the point views of Jean and Ramona too. Wanda and Sophia are hits or misses for me. It depends on my mood for that day, lol. I admit sometimes the duo are on point with their comic relief. I will say that they tend to gel better when Ryan is subbing in for Frank. Ryan is more silly, Frank's more serious. Being in my late 30's, I prefer serious over silly.
October 29th, 2009

Frank Ski should consider doing talk radio on WAOK on the side.
October 29th, 2009
4:44 pm
I stopped listening to V-103.I don't like Frank Ski. He always seems to think that he is right. It is his way or no way. He's very opinionated. And he's very snobbish! Tonya this – Tonya that!! Who cares. Get rid of Mr. Sophia, too.
October 29th, 2009
5:27 pm
mr pompus got an extension…oh i bet tonya and those spoiled ass brats of his will be happy. Now we can hear about his brown nosing event he has every year at his house. We can also hear about him and his "latin" blood..and we can hear more of those two transvestites on his show, Wanda and Sophia. Hey Wanda, how did your sons college football career pan out…ooops it didn't…Sophia you are a joke, but I give you this much…you look better than that frog Wanda….
October 29th, 2009
5:59 pm
Frank Ski-Funny he can't talk about the details that is something that usually denotes stability and funny that he and his reps said that they woud not take a pay cut publicly. He is terrible and too old for the music that they play. Put Ryan Cameron in the morning slot.
Wanda-is ghetto and not funny. Loud and ghetto, but not funny.
Ms.Sohpia-a disgrace to black men and to the gay community-a walking nasty stereotype that s offends all gay and straight people.
V-103-is a station that used to be concerned about the community now they are a station that plays music that is misogynistic, filled with references of drug selling and using, and a garbage of a station that pollutes the community with filth. Who is in charge over there?
October 29th, 2009
10:06 pm
good for V-103. Frank Ski has been very good for the station. he must be doing the job he was hired to do- stir up opinions and keep mornings number 1! i'd say he's doing both things rather well
October 29th, 2009
11:42 pm
Frank, you're very professional and your direction of the show is generally pretty good along with the topics. As a native of the A, I still feel like frank sometimes with his demeanor and more o with his words, it is like Fgrank bekieves that he is doing Atlanta a favor when he has some commentary or some history about New York,his childhood, or taking listeners on a cruise. Frank, we have been riding Royal Cruise Line and international planes before you got to the A. remembr that.
October 30th, 2009
3:19 am
I agree with Tax, Brett and Nick ! Frank is a name dropper who's always pushing his views on everything. Wanda puts the G in Ghetto, and Ms Sophia, well words can't describe.They are all over paid. And Ryan is whack as well.
October 30th, 2009
7:20 am
The only reason people listen to V-103, because there are really no other good morning shows to listen to. I am a female and I listen to sports talk radio…..
October 30th, 2009
7:57 am
I was pulling for Ryan to have the morning show. Don't listen to V103 in the morning because of Frank Ski. Didn't like the topics or Mr know-it-all, name dropper..who cares??? Love it when Ryan subs with Wanda and Ms. Sophia..funny how Ms. Sophia doesn't stay in the studio when Frank is there but stays in the studio when Ryan subs…like comedy in the morning..Sometimes you just want to lighten up in the morning !!!!

Thank you for this platform, I am a 40+ year old BM who was born and raised here. Atlanta has always been an environment for tasteless radio personality. Every radio station here has non- talented people hosting such a powerful platform. Frankly, we as consumers of this mass media should stop supporting the stations that play derogatory music which defames and promotes violence, illegal production, and defamation of women. V-103 and Frank Ski are habitual offenders of all, yet their ratings are good, something is wrong and it is time to make it right. Black radio is the only format where men degrade themselves through promotion as women, in particular a very bad choice. No child, let me be clearer, no parent should allow any child under 17 to listen to this morning program, nor should they listen to Rickey Smiley, 95.5. who are all just as insidious as Frank Ski and his band of bandits. I will admit, that when I am driving, I use to tune in the the daily prayer message, however I realize that my daily inspiration is me, my family, my children, and my personal relationship with my Lord and savior. The Atlanta radio market is in despair, and there seems to be no end in sight, as new celebrity enter our market with lackluster platforms, thus making the situation worse. So, let's not blame the people, but take responsibility for what we will support, just turn them off.

I like Frank but I love it when the "short bus crew" is in control with Ryan, Wanda, and Ms. Sophia….those shows are the best
October 30th, 2009

Frank Ski is awful. Loud, brash, tacky. Wants so badly to be SOMEBODY. I simply cannot listen to V-103.
October 30th, 2009
9:03 am
Give Ryan the morning show and the CW show
October 30th, 2009
10:15 am
Ryan needs to take over the morning show. I always listen when he is there with Wanda and Sophia. Wanda tries to run Frank, but Ryan keeps her in her place. She really isn't funny at all, just the ghetto cackle laugh and brashness. In fact, Miss Sophia is much funnier and can at least get in an intelligent comment every now and then. Frank tries to interject his opinions and the whole NY attitude too much. Ryan is from here and can better relate to Atlanta.

Did his contract include English 101 classes? The word "at" does not belong at the end of a sentence, no matter how hip one may think it is.
October 30th, 2009
11:01 am
Frank Ski got an extension??? For What????? I have never and will never ever listen to v-103. All I ever hear on that morning show is Frank Ski "bragging" about who he talked to or hung out with recently etc. Whoever cares about this is probably as class-less as Mr. Ski. And whoever decided to allow his little TV show must be some sort of moron. That is nothing more than a gregarious waste of television broadcasting time…
October 30th, 2009
9:31 pm
@ Kim…the only reason people listen to V-103's morning show is because they have the strongest signal in the office buildings.
There are other good morning shows, e.g. Rickey Smiley and Steve Harvey. They are hilarious; however, their signal is not as strong. Neal Boortz is not bad in the morningtime either. I love sports talk as well….the Two Live Stews to be exact.
October 30th, 2009
10:43 pm
I enjoyed Mike and Carol in the morning over Frank Ski. I remember the first day Frank Ski came on in Atlanta and I was so upset. I don't listen to him and would love to have the Ryan Cameron morning show back! Wanda is loud and ghetto and very very very very annoying….
October 31st, 2009
5:53 pm
That's great Frank we all need a job. My mother always told me that if you can't say something nice don't say anything.
October 31st, 2009
8:16 pm
Frank Ski really should do talk radio, I think it fits him better than the urban format. Wanda Smith needs to be more informed about some of the issues Frank address on the show. Ryan is much better fit for the show, but he needs someone to keep him in check.
November 2nd, 2009
2:01 pm
…….the show just isn't what it once was. I'm happy for Frank and Wanda (I really can't stomach Sophia-what is Better Mornings thinking?!!), but the show isn't funny any more. I love it when Frank plays his music instead of the trash he's forced to play. Wanda, can you pick it up a little sweetie? I don't listen as much as I use to, but obviously others are listening and I'm happy for ya.
November 2nd, 2009

November 2nd, 2009

My husband and I could do a better job, a little younger than Frank, but not by much. We care about the people. We already have our own show that draws over one million listeners per month in over 100 countries and is syndicated to the TROOPS. You can check us out @ http://www.prisonworldradiohour.com. We are coming to the Boston, NY and LA market soon. Maybe Atlanta will hop on board as well.
November 19th, 2009
8:04 pm
They should put ryan and ramona or elle l ducan on in the morning
December 7th, 2009
1:47 pm
I like Frank and his adult opinions and diverse topics. Ryan is cool but I don't always feel like his cornball humor. I think Frank represents a part of the black community that needs to be represented more here in Atlanta. He and Wanda together are perfect and tend to balance things out. Its great radio. I must admit that I do hear the same old songs everyday but I have learned to start zoning it out until something that interests is played.
February 5th, 2010
1:33 pm
Did Frank ski or v-103 pull in great ratings?……mmmm. think about it,if you put Ryan in the Morning would V-103 still have great ratings?…mmmmm….The answer is yes…..So let Frank Ski go over to Woak and do talk radio…

'Rush': Howard kicks it into high gear with racing excellence
By Glenn Kenny, Special to MSN Movies
The trailers and other promo materials for this movie make a big deal out of "the will to win," which might strike fear in the hearts of some moviegoers who are feeling overfed by tales of the "triumph of the human spirit" and all those sorts of things. But "Rush," the entirely exhilarating and engaging race-car-rivalry drama written by Peter Morgan and directed by Ron Howard, manages to go impressively deeper than platitude-level with their narrative and characterization, and, at the same time, they deliver a highly satisfying and enjoyable popcorn movie.
Bing: More about Chris Hemsworth | More on Ron Howard
It isn't as if they lack for material. Racing aficionados have long known that the fierce rivalry and highly contrasting styles of 1970s-ascendent Formula One drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda is a saga worthy of modern myth. (They're not the only ones, either: For years director David Cronenberg had tried to make a film based on Formula One drivers Phil Hill and Wolfgang von Trips.) Hunt and Lauda, as depicted here, have contrasting styles that a classicist might describe as Dionysian and Apollonian and a bro might describe as "party animal" and "stick up the butt." But, as superbly portrayed by Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl, these drivers are hardly cardboard cutouts of concepts. It's Hunt who, in voice-over early in the movie, announces that race car drivers are "people who are desperate to make a mark and are willing to die trying," and that there's something pretty messed-up about that. Both men have the "will" to win, but the real story of "Rush," after it begins with a gray-sky pre-race prologue that portends a massive life change for one of the rivals, has to do with where these men set their limits. And this is where the surprises of the movie lie.
In simple terms, Hunt is the charismatic showman and Lauda the VERY stereotypically Germanic wonk. Lauda's confidence in his engineering and driving skill is inextricably muddied by his resentment of the more populist and handsome Hunt. Hunt, on the other hand -- and this is a slightly more difficult thing to convey convincingly -- is hobbled by his good looks and breezy demeanor in that it makes it hard for him to even take himself seriously, and especially at times when he most needs to. These character flaws drive the parts of the movie that aren't driven by tense, exciting race scenes that convey both the excitement of high-speed racing and the tedium and smashed expectations created by technical glitches and other unexpected contingencies. And, of course, the terror of being trapped in a car that has just exploded into a fireball.
This happens to one of the characters, and I won't say which, although given that Lauda and Hunt are/were real people, the whole thing's a matter of historical record. It is in the aftermath of the accident, as it happens, that "Rush" shifts into its highest gear. We've gotten to know these guys, their very genuine dislike of each other, their different ways of road mastery, their different loves (Hunt's is portrayed by Olivia Wilde in a rather generic '70s model mode, while Lauda's gets a nicely nuanced treatment from Alexandra Maria Lara). The resolution of their racing relationship, and of their personal relationship, finally does, in conventional movie fashion, yield to a revelation of mutual admiration. But it's a mutual admiration that acknowledges the difficulty of its being. In acknowledging some hard emotional truths, this movie, Ron Howard's best since "Apollo 13," earns its humanist stripes as well as its racing ones. Excellent stuff.

Clint Baclawski/Caleb Taylor: Recent Works This luminous two-person exhibit of Santo Foundation grant winners, curated by Ashley Kopp, distills the forms, colors and motifs of advertising into an abstract language. Taylor's gouaches on paper obscure bright swaths of yellow, red and blue that resemble tangled flags hidden beneath the white of overcast skies. Baclawski's large-scale photographic light boxes are staggered on the gallery floor in a staccato maze of handsomely slick obstructions; the double-sided, mirrored scenes they portray are whitewashed by fluorescent light that gleams within, dimming and then intensifying the cold tones depicted: ski slope, urban winter, antiseptic gymnasium. Each locale is punctuated with consumerism — bag-toting crowds, national or corporate flags, the ubiquitous print of a corporate logo — the bold, primary palette of which finds an elegant analogue in Taylor's painterly works. At night the exhibit throbs with the after-hours glow of a commercial storefront, promising something unquantifiable to passers-by. Also showing: Neither Night and Day; Gabriel Slavitt's installation — prismatic painted pyramids, ceramic dishware, a chart of local birds, a video of daily commuting — sees a kind of ceremonial rite in the movement and signs of the everyday. Through June 6 at Snowflake/Citystock, 3156 Cherokee Street; www.snowflakecitystock.com. Hours: 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Sat.
Focus on Photography: Recent Acquisitions This exhibit of new additions to the Kemper's collection concisely and powerfully charts the development of photography from its early, documentary-inflected use to its transformation into a contemporary expressionistic medium. The sepia-toned historic portraits in Edward Curtis' North American Indian series presage the medium's impressionistic capacity, its subjects appearing less objectively culturally situated as romantically (and exotically) framed with a foreboding sense of nostalgia. A collection of 1970s and '80s-era Polaroids by Andy Warhol functions somewhat similarly: Lesser-known luminaries can be seen as instantaneously vulnerable and self-consciously postured. Christian Jankowski, who in 2005 photographed Washington University students at the annual campus poster sale, doubles this sense of photography's capacity to capture its own late-capitalist commodification as an image-making device. Artwork appears as both a witless and poised subject in Louise Lawler's Not Yet Titled (2004), wherein Gordon Matta-Clark's raw building fragment, Bingo, is institutionalized in the renovated galleries of New York's Museum of Modern Art. Finally, the photograph becomes an abstraction in itself in Wolfgang Tilman's Silver 71 (2008), ushering in an era in which photography is an artistic medium, nothing more and nothing less. Also showing: 2010 MFA Thesis Exhibition; this year's survey of graduate work includes notable pieces by John Early, Ryan Fabel, Joel Fullerton, Dani Kantrowitz and Mamie Korpela. Through July 26 at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Forsyth & Skinker boulevards (on the campus of Washington University); 314-935-4523 or www.kemperartmuseum.wustl.edu. Hours: 11 a.m.-6 p.m. daily (closed Tue., open till 8 p.m. Fri.)
Barry Leibman: Mahler Suite This exhibit of collaged paintings by artist and former Left Bank Books co-owner Barry Leibman uses Mahler's final Ninth Symphony as its point of reflection. The musical piece, which straddled romanticism and the atonality of the burgeoning modern movement, is a study of a spirit divided. Similarly, Leibman's work seems at once to memorialize life's discarded ephemera — from swatches of floral fabric, prayer shawls, color samples and x-rays — and to underscore its temporality and potential to be lost. The work, in its piled, geometric textures, enacts this continual pendulum swing, mirroring the emotive arcs of Mahler's mercurial work in artwork distilled to its black-and-white essence. Through May 29 at the Sheldon Art Galleries, 3648 Washington Boulevard; 314-533-9900 or www.sheldonconcerthall.org. Hours: noon-8 p.m. Tue., noon-5 p.m. Wed.-Fri., 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sat.
Cause + Time Minimalist in design, maximalist in content, this group exhibition explores the intersection of art and technology through work that records, transforms or reacts to the onslaught of the information age. Eric Souther's Digital Mandala is a stark black-and-white projection of densely intersecting lines; their ultimate, circular shape and accretive tangle are the result of informational excess, which elicits each projected mark as well as the buzzing din of half-mechanized sounds that permeate the exhibition space. Arnold Wedemeyer's two video "still lifes" — glacially slow time-lapse depictions of nearly mundane space — eerily capture the most subtle and suggestively digital changes in real objects over time. Andrew Cozzens' "growth" sculptures include a kind of canvas sling, through the bottom of which a ridge of wheatgrass sprouts; the grass will eventually turn toward the gallery's minimal light source — and, ultimately, die from lack of light. A work by David Bowen tracks the growth of an onion plant through a mechanized rendering device usually used for collecting scientific data. Another Souther work creates an abstracted visual space via search-engine data for the word "chair." Both nature and computer-driven science are marveled at here for their capacity to manipulate or be manipulated — a kind of aesthetic being found in the function of data collection or, even more simply, the mere compulsion to collect it. Through June 26 at the Luminary Center for the Arts, 4900 Reber Place; 314-807-5984 or www.theluminaryarts.com. Hours: noon-6 p.m. Wed.-Sat.
