Corning Museum of Glass Acquires Monumental Work by Liza Lou
Continuous Mile Will Inaugurate Museum's New Contemporary Art Gallery
CORNING, NY—The Corning Museum of Glass has acquired Continuous Mile, an ambitious large-scale sculpture by contemporary artist Liza Lou (American, b. 1969), to be installed in the Museum's North Wing contemporary galleries, which will open in late 2014.
Continuous Mile (2006–08) is a monumental sculpture composed of 4.5 million, glossy, black glass beads woven onto a mile-long cotton rope that is coiled and stacked. Standing about 3 feet high and stretching nearly 5 feet in diameter, the sculpture took Lou two years to make with a team of beadworkers from several townships in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Conceived as a work about work, Continuous Mile is exquisitely made and manifests the social concerns that run throughout the artist's work.

Metropolitan Museum Exhibition Celebrates Central Park Obelisk Known as "Cleopatra's Needle"
Exhibition Dates: December 3, 2013–June 8, 2014Exhibition Location: Egyptian Art Special Exhibitions GalleryPress Preview: Monday, December 2, 10:00 a.m.–noon
Since 1881, an ancient Egyptian monument—the obelisk of Pharaoh Thutmose III, popularly known as "Cleopatra's Needle"—has stood in New York's Central Park, a gift to the City of New York from the khedives of Egypt. It is the only monumental obelisk from ancient Egypt in the United States. The obelisk can be seen from several vantage points within The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is located nearby. As the Central Park Conservancy begins to develop a plan to conserve the monument, the Metropolitan Museum will present an exhibition about the construction and evolving symbolism of obelisks from antiquity to the present day. The exhibition Cleopatra's Needle opens December 3. The exhibition is made possible by Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman.The exhibition will feature objects from the Museum's Egyptian Art Department and a selection of prints, textiles, and other works of art from the departments of Drawings and Prints, European Paintings, European Sculpture and Decorative Arts, Photographs, and The American Wing. Nine additional works from the Brooklyn Museum, American Numismatic Society, Chancellor Robert R Livingston Masonic Library of Grand Lodge, Museum of the City of New York, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, and private collections, most of which are seldom on display, will also be included. A highlight of the installation will be a dramatic time-lapse video of the obelisk in Central Park taken during the course of a day.Obelisks originated in ancient Egypt and—like statues—were intended to house divine powers, even the spirit of a king or god. They were placed at the entrance of temples and tombs, where their presence was believed to radiate protection. The obelisk was a solar symbol and its soaring form connected the earth to the sky. Its tip, often sheathed in gold to suggest the sun, was a pyramidion, a shape sacred to Re, the sun god. The exhibition will include a five-foot-high obelisk from the entrance to an ancient Egyptian mortuary chapel devoted to sacred rams. The obelisk in Central Park is one of a pair—each of which has come to be called "Cleopatra's Needle"—originally installed by Thutmose III (r. ca. 1479–1425 B.C.) in front of the sun temple in Heliopolis, the ancient Egyptian city dedicated to the sun god Re. Over time, both obelisks toppled. Discoloration indicates that they may have also been burned in antiquity, and that exposure to the elements eroded some of the hieroglyphs. Augustus Caesar (63 B.C.–14 A.D.) took the two obelisks to Alexandria and installed them at the Caesareum, the temple built by Cleopatra VII to honor the deified Julius Caesar. (This episode may explain how the name of Cleopatra became attached to these two obelisks.) The Romans recognized the solar imagery of obelisks and connected them to their own sun god, Sol. For Augustus, the link may have been personal as well, since Apollo, another Roman sun god, was his patron deity. Included in the exhibition will be a late 16th-century map and a late 17th-century Dutch watercolor, both showing the obelisk standing in Alexandria. Egypt became a province of Rome under Augustus Caesar, and many artifacts—including numerous obelisks—were taken from Egypt to Rome. Some four centuries later, when Rome was sacked and the Roman Empire fell, all but one of the obelisks toppled, victims of vandalism or earthquakes, and were buried and forgotten. The rediscovery of these objects during the Renaissance renewed popular interest in antiquities. Several popes organized new building projects in Rome around the ancient Egyptian monuments. There, obelisks were often placed at the center of public squares, such as the one in front of St. Peter's Basilica. Domenico Fontana (1543–1607), an engineer in the service of Pope Sixtus V, raised at least four obelisks in public places. Through this connection with the Vatican, the obelisk became a symbol of eternal papal power. The exhibition will include drawings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778) that show obelisks in the Piazza della Rotonda and Piazza del Popolo.Obelisks continued to be regarded as powerful symbols of an ancient civilization, and scholars in Europe began to study their inscriptions in the 16th and 17th centuries to understand the secret knowledge they believed obelisks held. The monuments were used in drawings and paintings to indicate a connection to antiquity, establish a harmonious landscape, or communicate the concept of eternity. Not only were obelisks used in landscape scenes—as in the drawings of Rembrandt or Francesco Guardi on view in the exhibition—but also in actual funerary monuments where the connection to eternity was most important. An example is the catafalque designs of the Italian theatrical designer Giuseppe Galli Bibiena (1696–1757). The association between obelisks and eternity remained widely accepted, and obelisk forms began to be used as tomb markers in the early 18th century in America. A silk painting by a Connecticut schoolgirl shows such a tomb marker. The obelisk form also became a popular for war memorials, as recorded in a photograph of the General William Jenkins Worth Monument located on Fifth Avenue in New York City. In the late 19th century, after Khedive Ismail offered the United States the obelisk of Thutmose III as a gift, U.S. Navy engineer Lieutenant-Commander Henry Honeychurch Gorringe (1841–1885) was charged with the task of transporting the monument to New York and installing it in Central Park. He studied drawings made of Fontana's earlier work—one of which will be on display—to learn how the feat had been accomplished in earlier times. Gorringe successfully lowered the obelisk in Alexandria, Egypt, and loaded it after some difficulty into the hold of his ship the S.S. Dessoug. Unloading the monument in New York was no easy task. It took nearly six months to move the obelisk from the dock in Staten Island to the East River at 96th Street, and finally to Central Park. On October 9, 1880, a crowd of 9,000 Freemasons led a parade to Central Park for a cornerstone ceremony for the foundation platform of the obelisk, which had also been brought from Egypt. The baton carried in that parade by the Grand Secretary of the New York Grand Lodge Edward M. L. Ehlers will be on view in the exhibition. On January 22, 1881, after months of effort, the obelisk reached its destination, Greywacke Knoll in Central Park. Gorringe carried out his task perfectly and the obelisk rose into position. He received a gold medal to commemorate his amazing feat.

Corning, NY, November 14, 2013—The Corning Museum of Glass today unveiled its 2013 Rakow Commission: Ghost Walk under Infinite Darkness by Andrew Erdos.
The artwork of Andrew Erdos is pop, sarcastic, and humorous, with a hint of social commentary. His over-the-top installations create a situation of sensory overload, which he sees as a reflection of everyday life in urban culture, especially the culture of New York City. Through the use of futuristic-looking mirrored animal sculptures, vehicles used by the artist to navigate identity and environment, Erdos explores the relationships between nature, technology, and people.
For the Rakow Commission, Erdos pushed the scale of his two-way mirrored boxes with mirrored and dichroic glass sculptures and colored murrine to create an overwhelming sensory experience, a setting of hyper-beauty. "When all your senses are activated is oftentimes when there is a moment of clarity," says Erdos. The titles of Erdos' works often reference ghosts and time, which he considers to be core fascinations of humans as physically intangible but always present entities and emanations.
"I try to engage artists whose works are of superior intellectual and/or technical quality, and which transcend the traditional boundaries of glassworking for the Rakow Commission. Erdos uses traditional glassblowing techniques, and well-known glass effects such as the infinity mirror, to create nontraditional environments and narratives," says Tina Oldknow, curator of modern glass at the Museum.
Hear from Erdos on the making of Ghost Walk under Infinite Darkness and read a conversation between Erdos and Tina Oldknow at www.cmog.org/erdos.
Inaugurated in 1986, the Rakow Commission is awarded annually to artists whose work is not yet represented in the Museum's collection. The commission supports new works of art in glass by encouraging emerging or established artists to venture into new areas that they might otherwise be unable to explore because of financial limitations. It is made possible through the generosity of the late Dr. and Mrs. Leonard S. Rakow, Fellows, friends, and benefactors of the Museum. Each commissioned work is added to the Museum's permanent collection and is displayed publicly in the Museum's Modern Glass Gallery.

First major U.S museum exhibition of internationally acclaimed Finnish film and video artist opens September 18
WELLESLEY, Mass. – The Davis presents "Eija-Liisa Ahtila: Olentoja (Creatures)," the first multi-installation presentation at a U.S. museum by the internationally renowned Finnish artist, opening September 18, 2013 in the Chandler, Bronfman and Freedman galleries. On view through January 5, 2014, the exhibition is free and open to the general public. An opening reception with the artist will be held on September 18 from 5:30-8 p.m.
"Eija-Liisa Ahtila is best known for her lushly beautiful and psychologically intense videos, and for the precise calibration (of image, sound, and environment) of her installations," said Lisa Fischman, Ruth Gordon Shapiro '37 Director of the Davis and curator of the exhibition. "Vivid and mesmerizing, her videos are mysterious and open-ended, often imbued by notions of the sacred and miraculous in everyday experience. The work's distinctive narrative complexity is further enhanced by multi-screen projection, designed to question both the nature of the 'moving image' and the possibility of seeing from many perspectives at once."
Culled from over a decade of production, the five works featured— Horizontal (2011), Anthropomorphic Exercises on Film (2011), Companions (2011), The Annunciation (2010), and The House (2002)— demonstrate the depth and range of the artist's practice. Most recently, Ahtila has been inspired by German biologist/philopher Jacob von Uexküll's notion of umwelt, (from the German word for environment), which emphasizes that every living creature perceives the world in its own way. The projects selected for this exhibition are filled with beings—human, animal, magical, and botanical—poised in uncertain relationships.
Ahtila is a storyteller, describing her works as 'human dramas,' focusing on relationships, often among women, and with the natural world. Deftly navigating the gap between reality and imagination her work explores the interaction between the realms of the human, the animal and the divine.
For the exhibition title, Ahtila chose the Finnish word Olentoja (Creatures) which captures this scope and adds "a bit more soul."
[For pronunciation, visit http://translate.google.com/#auto/fi/creatures%5D.
Born in 1959, Ahtila studied filmmaking at the London College of Printing, UCLA, and at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. In 1990 she received the Young Artist of the Year Award, Tampere, Finland. Since then, she has received numerous grants and awards, including an AVEK-award for important achievements in the field of audio-visual culture (1997), the Edstrand Art Price (1998), a DAAD fellowship (1999), honorary mention at the 48th Venice Biennale (1999), the Vincent Van Gogh Bi-annual Award for Contemporary Art in Europe (2000), and a five-year grant from the Central Committee for the Arts (2001), as well as the Artes Mundi Prize (2006). She also exhibited in Documenta XI (2002) and the 50th Venice Biennale (2005). Parallel Worlds, a major mid-career survey of her work, traveled between the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma in Helsinki.
International cultural theorist, critic and artist Mieke Bal will be participating in several events held in conjunction with Eija-Liisa Ahtila: Olentoja (Creatures). On September 21, Bal will join Ahtila in a discussion on 'The Politics of Art,' which celebrates the global launch of Bal's newest publication, Thinking in Film: The Politics of Video Installation According to Eija-Liisa Ahtila. On September 23, Bal screens her latest film, Madame B., based on Flaubert's Madame Bovary, and on September 25, she will give a mid-day gallery talk on the exhibition.
For full event details, visit http://davismuseum.wellesley.edu.
Curated by Lisa Fischman, Ruth Gordon Shapiro '37 Director of the Davis, the exhibition and related programs are presented with major support from the Kathryn Wasserman Davis '28 Fund for World Cultures and Leadership, special funding provided by Wellesley College Friends of Art at the Davis, and additional support from FRAME, Visual Art Finland.

Book Launch
The Politics of Art: An Evening with author MIEKE BAL and artist EIJA-LIISA AHTILA
Saturday, September 21 | 5:00 p.m. | Collins Cinema, Reception follows in the Davis Lobby | Free
A conversation and book signing to celebrate the global launch of Dutch critic, theorist, and filmmaker Mieke Bal's newest publication, Thinking in Film: The Politics of Video Installation According to Eija-Liisa Ahtila, the second volume in her trilogy on the questions of political art.
Bal writes that she "chose Ahtila… because of the restraint with which she manages to move us deeply on a political level without ever falling into propaganda. Her oeuvre demonstrates that the political impact of art is not dependent on political statements, but, on the contrary, must stay away from the rhetoric of politics. To put it bluntly: political art must stay aloof of politics in order to be effective. Although Ahtila's work invariably touches us with issues that have political ramifications—such as colonialism, gender politics, and the streamlining of the imagination—even in the face of the most blatantly political issues, she will not pronounce."
Co-sponsored by the Davis Museum and the Susan and Donald Newhouse Center for the Humanities, this event is supported by the Kathryn Wasserman Davis '28 Fund for World Cultures and Leadership and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Screening: Mieke Bal and Madame B.
Monday, September 23 | 7:30 p.m. | Collins Cinema | Free
International cultural theorist, critic, and artist, Mieke Bal will present her latest film project, Madame B. (directed by Mieke Bal and Michelle Williams Garnaker), an ambitious, feature-length film adapted from the legendary 1856 novel, Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert. Madame B. draws upon this classic work of literature as an allegory for contemporary mores, and the film offers a radically new interpretation of the text. Visually, Madame B. questions the role of women in a society driven by masculine impulses while, at the narrative level, the film explores ways in which cinematic writing can be turned into visual story-telling.
Co-sponsored by the Davis Museum, the Susan and Donald Newhouse Center for the Humanities, and the Cinema and Media Studies Program, with funding generously provided by the Kathryn Wasserman Davis '28 Fund for World Cultures and Leadership and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

interdisciplinary arts practitioner, Dr Susie Lingham takes on new role
1. The National Heritage Board is pleased to appoint Dr Susie Lingham as the Director of the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) with effect from early August 2013. Dr. Lingham replaces Mr Tan Boon Hui who was appointed to a new role as Group Director, Programmes.
2. Dr Lingham was selected through an open recruitment process where both local and foreign candidates were interviewed. Ms Jane Ittogi, Chair of the SAM Board said, "I am very pleased with the appointment of Susie Lingham. She has a strong academic background in the study of contemporary society and the visual arts and a keen understanding of the needs of this sector. These attributes are important as we continue on the track of establishing SAM as a leading museum of contemporary art."
3. Since 2009, under the leadership of Mr Tan, SAM has been widely recognised as a contemporary art museum that champions the artistic leadership of this region and of Singapore. When the National Art Gallery, Singapore opens in 2015, SAM will continue to lead the way in presenting current art practices of both established and emerging young artists of this generation. SAM is an institution under the visual arts cluster, together with the National Art Gallery and the Singapore Tyler Print Institute.

Contemporary art is also where creativity and intellectual curiosity flourishes alongside generosity of heart and deep understanding of the human spirit. I believe that the Singapore Art Museum is this necessary space for serious research-led, and ever-evolving, curatorial and art practice. It is also a space where critical engagement with social, cultural and philosophical issues is presented and expertly made accessible to the various segments of the public.

Carving a Community: The Katu People
A new exhibition opens at the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre, Luang Prabang
LUANG PRABANG, LAOS – On the 20th September 2013, the Traditional Arts & Ethnology Centre (TAEC) will open a new exhibit entitled Carving a Community: The Katu People. The exhibit is the first in the former royal capital of Laos to highlight the distinct cultural traits and crafts of this ethnic minority group residing in southern Laos and the central highlands of Vietnam.
Intricate weavings and basketry and bold woodcarving created by the Katu people are highlights of the exhibit. Of special interest is the carved decoration of the Katu communal meetinghouse. Traditionally, the meetinghouse was the focal point of the village, where members of the community gather to carry out important rites, including buffalo sacrifice. Videos of this annual ritual and daily activities allow visitors to witness the folkways of the Katu.
Funded by a grant from the US Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, TAEC has collaborated with the Institute of Sociological Research of the Lao PDR, the University of Gothenburg-Sweden, and the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology to conduct research and present this exhibit on the culture and lifestyle of this little known group. The exhibit consolidates research from renowned scholars from these international institutions carried out in the last twenty years, including fieldwork by TAEC earlier in 2013.
About the Traditional Arts & Ethnology Centre:
The Traditional Arts & EthnologyCentre is a museum dedicated to the preservation of cultural diversity in Laos. Its location is in Ban Khamyong, Luang Prabang, Laos, and is open Tuesday – Sunday from 9.00am until 6.00pm (closed Sundays). Admission is 25,000 Lao kip per person and free for Lao citizens.
This will be the eleventh exhibition TAEC has created since opening in 2007. Carving a Community: The Katu People will be on display at TAEC for one year, and entry is included in the regular museum ticket price.
Also at TAEC, the Museum Shop sells fairly traded handicrafts from over 600 village artisans and Le Patio Café serves a selection of ethnic minority food, drinks and cakes.
Open: 9.00am – 6.00pm, Tuesday – Sunday (closed Mondays).
Entry: 20,000 Kip, free for Lao citizens.

A new digital bookmobile will allow Hoosiers to download e-books, audio books and more for tablets and e-readers. The 74-foot community outreach vehicle stopped by Center Grove Community Schools Tuesday as part of a national bookmobile tour.
The high-tech update of the traditional bookmobile is now housed inside of an 18-wheel tractor-trailer and will allow students and parents to continue reading even as technology advances.
"We're inspiring popular reading by having a digital book available on other devices because as we all know students are digital now and on a phone they can download an audio book and have it all times," said Julie Bohnenkamp, Center Grove Technology Director.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Students can download the books anytime for free online. Community members can also purchase a subscription for $30. All proceeds from the subscriptions will go to purchase more titles.
The bookmobile is operated by OverDrive. It's designed to help libraries promote downloadable media.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 94,000overall rating 7 of 10rating details
Pros: "reliable, good on gas, easy to work on"
Cons: "tranmission is sensitive, power steering squeals"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"We bought this car used in 2012 with 71000 miles on it. The important items were maintained well. It had new tires, and the engine was serviced per the recommended schedule, with the exception of the spark plugs and wires. I replaced those myself. The problems I have had with this car have been mostly related to rust, especially this year (2014). The winter of 2013-14 was one of the worst we've had in decades, and as a result plenty of salt and beet juice was spread on the road. I've been springing leaks all over the car as a result. I've had both CV axles replaced because the boots began leaking. The shop also ran me new brake lines to the rear. I did the front struts, power steering pressure line, and most of the fuel lines myself. The car's transmission is also very sensitive to electrical-related activities. If you unhook the battery, make sure you fully discharge the capacitors in the vehicle by turning the key on and depressing the brake slowly. Then, do not reconnect the power for at least 5 minutes. Otherwise, the car may shift funny for a period of time afterwards. For DIY folks like me, this car is easy to work on and most repairs at home I've found can be done in less than 2 hours. The car also has chronic squealing issues with the power steering. The manual makes note that it is not unusual to get some noise from the power steering, and I've read that adjusting the belt tension sometimes fixes the problem. The shop said my tension was correct and I could try applying belt dressing, but I'm not worrying about it. Despite all of these issues, many of them simply due to environmental factors (i.e. salt/beet juice during winter months), the car has been very reliable. It has never stranded me anywhere and gets great gas mileage, especially in warmer weather where I have reached 38 MPG. It does dip down to 22 in the winter, but that's due to the poor gas quality and often difficult travel conditions. I would recommend this car for people who are looking for a reliable commuter car, despite it's transmission and power steering oddities, but I would caution them that given the age of this model, rust could be an issue for them as well."

Pros: "good on gas, smooth ride"
Cons: "costly constant repairs, junk car"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"I am the original owner, I bought this 2001 elantra gls brand new this was my 1st brand new car,and all my previous vehicles were used,but I had more problems with this when it was new than I ever had with any of my used cars I purchased, I will never buy another one ever. Once the warranty is up you are in big trouble this has been in the shop for repairs more than usual and very costly, while this was under bumper to bumper warranty the radiator was replaced twice within 6-8 months. I have always kept the car very well maintained and serviced but it has always been a money pit from the beginning. The paint bubbled up near the rear wheels on both sides and I was told by a mechanic that they all seem to rust in that same spot, I got that rust repaired twice since I have had this car, and the bottom is rusting now. Save yourself money problems do not buy this car. The ride is smooth and is good on gas but costly with repairs."

"We purchased our 2004 Elantra used in 2007, and have put nearly 60k miles on it since. It's been a great commuter car, gas mileage with careful driving running more like 33mpg. Handles well, almost sporty, with good pickup and smooth running up to about 85 mph. We've done the recommended maintenance - fluids, filters, belts - and it still runs like the day we bought it. Only negative is the amount of road noise at highway speeds, but comparable to other cars in the same class. Definitely recommend Hyundai and would buy again."

SES Search Usability Panel's Recommendations for Video SEO
ReelSEO's Contributing Guest Reporter Erika Blackwell continues her coverage of the Search Engine Strategies Chicago 2008 conference, and asks the Usability and SEO Panel – What usability tip do they recommend to clients when it comes to featuring video on their website? The panel's reply: Include transcriptions and captions; plus include a "click here to read [keyword title]" SEO-friendly link of both the video and audio-only file. The following notes are not specific to website video content, but can provide helpful supplementary information with laying out your website's visual design and site architecture that may include video.
Matt Bailey, President, Site Logic
- Most people scan websites – in particular the headings, subheadings, bullet points and paragraph headers. Layout, typography, font size and color schemes are all very important and raise the credibility and integrity of the website.
- Good examples – ThinkGeek.com and Wine.com, CNET.com and John Deere are all examples of well laid out sites.
- Bad example – Cross.com is not as well laid out, visually.
- Five to seven links should be max for any group of links.
- Too much of the color red on a website is not good; red doesn't read very well.
Kathleen Fealy, President, KF Multimedia & Web, Inc.
- Persona development. Know your targeted user. Develop a persona – a composite of one of your visitors.
- Navigation should come from task analysis.
- Use persuasion, emotion and trust for conversion. (Conversion is how a visitor uses your site.) Example: Catch a Lobster's website calls on the emotions of catching a lobster for conversion.
- Make clear calls to action – a 'scent' (of information).
- The elements of a persona include the demographics, what the visitor wants to do and what the visitor needs to do…
Kimberly Krause Berg, Owner, UsabilityEffect.com
- Every home page must have a value proposition.
- Create user personas.
- Creating validation entails answering – Who is your company? Who are you targeting? This should be clear on every page of the website.
- Often overlooked but simple information for customers…Where is the company located? If you are selling products, you definitely need a physical address.
Jordan Kasteler, Senior SEO Analyst, Overstock.com
- Forms: Split up long forms – creating a task for each. State fields when required. Keep error messages listed at the top of the form – keep them clear. Use ajax or jQuery to provide real-time error messages. Set focus for forms.
- Copyblogger has a good newsletter location at the top left of their page.
- Do A/B (Multivariate) Split testing of web site pages (i.e., same landing page but a number of versions with different design and copy elements), so you can test out what your audience responds best to.
Randy Pickard, VP Product Innovation, User CentricC
- The home page is the most important to optimize for usability
- Keywords in headlines, keyword density.
- Three directory levels is what you want to shoot for.
- Meta title tags with google are now limited to 66 characters. (How your title tags and meta descriptions are displayed in Google results is important for usability, especially so they read properly and are not cut off at a confusing point for the searcher.)
- Bruce Clay is a very good site.

The sixth-seed LSU women's basketball team gave third-seed Louisville all it could handle on Tuesday night in the Maravich Center, but the Cardinals duo of Angel McCoughtry and Candyce Bingham was enough to get the Cardinals to the Sweet 16, 62-52.
With a roster of six freshmen and only one senior, LSU (19-11) had its record streak of five-consecutive Women's Final Fours come to an end.
Louisville (31-4) advanced to face No. 2-seed Baylor in Memphis on Saturday.
McCoughtry scored a game-high 28 points on 9-of-22 shooting and 10-of-11 free throws, while Bingham added 17 points.
The rest of the Cardinals were 6-of-15 shooting for 17 points. Louisville shot 45.1 percent from the field (23 of 51) and 15-of-17 from the line.
LSU survived Louisville's 1-2-2 full-court press for the first 10 minutes, keeping the game tied at 14-14 despite losing starter LaSondra Barrett with two fouls less than four minutes into the contest.
Meanwhile LSU's defense forced five turnovers and took its first lead, 19-16, since the opening basket with consecutive jumpers by Morris.
Hightower scored three baskets for LSU to expand the advantage to five, 25-20. However, McCoughtry and Bingham combined for a 9-0 Cardinals run that put the Lady Tigers behind at the break, 33-29.
Despite leaving the court with an injured hand, McCoughtry quickly returned and scored Louisville's first four points of the second half. Bingham added a transition basket in the paint that put the Cardinals ahead, 39-33.
Hightower led LSU's comeback, scoring a jumper off the glass against a triple-team in the post and hitting a free throw that got LSU within three. Barrett converted a turnover into a layup and Hightower added another basket that gave LSU its first lead of the second half, 40-39.
Another layup by Barrett gave the Lady Tigers their final lead of the game, 42-41. But Louisville point guard Deseree' Byrd's jumper in the paint — the first by a Cardinal other than McCoughtry and Bingham in 20 minutes of action — started a 10-3 run that LSU couldn't overcome.
A three pointer by Louisville guard Becky Burke put the Cardinals up by seven, 54-47, with under six minutes to play.

So let's be brutally honest here. The Romney-Ryan position on health care is that many millions of Americans must be denied health insurance, and millions more deprived of the security Medicare now provides, in order to save money. At the same time, of course, Mr. Romney and Mr. Ryan are proposing trillions of dollars in tax cuts for the wealthy. So a literal description of their plan is that they want to expose many Americans to financial insecurity, and let some of them die, so that a handful of already wealthy people can have a higher after-tax income.

The Sixth Court of Appeals ruled that police need a search warrant to get ISPs to divulge emails, Tech News Ninjas reported. This is the first case that has dealt with email under the Fourth Amendment that deals with illegal search and seizures.
The Stored Communications Act of 1986 had covered emails but allowed access to email beyond 180 days old under certain circumstances.
"In making its decision, the court recognized how technology and communication had changed: "Since the advent of email, the telephone call and the letter have waned in importance, and an explosion of Internet-based communication has taken place," the 3-1 decision reads. "People are now able to send sensitive and intimate information, instantaneously, to friends, family, and colleagues half a world away. Lovers exchange sweet nothings, and businessmen swap ambitious plans, all with the click of a mouse button."
As a result, the Court of Appeals says that "It follows that email requires strong protection under the Fourth Amendment; otherwise, the Fourth Amendment would prove an ineffective guardian of private communication, an essential purpose it has long been recognized to serve."

Tarantino & Comix
On Friday, the Daily Texan is running a bunch of Valentines drawn by us comic staffers instead of the usual color comics.
Mine reads "Love you more than a film major loves Quentin Tarantino!"
Hilarious! But, I need some help: I planned to feature 4 characters from his movies on the valentine with respective famous lines they say twisted to be February 14th-y
Unfortunately, all I got down is Jules from Pulp Fiction saying "The language of love motherfucker, DO YOU SPEAK IT?!"
I couldn't think of any others I could twist, so so far the other 3 spaces are just Beatrix Kiddo next to "You're not a bad person. You're a terrific person. You're my favorite person" (I know it's Bill that says it, but cut me some slack, at least it's used to describe her) and a sketch of Col. Hans Landa saying "That's a Bingo!" (okay, even bigger stretch, but who passes up an opportunity to have Christoph Waltz fan art published?). And the third space is completely blank.
If anyone has any ideas on what else I could include??? I'd really like to have four characters total (they're drawn in the corners, the message takes up the middle part), and I aimed for characters from four different films, but go ahead and use P.F. or the Kill Bills or I.B. if your idea is really good. (I was thinking somehow Mr. Blonde and his "bark all day" line could be used maybe??)
Please and thank you!! Together we can defeat writer's block!…artist's block?
UPDATE: I finished it! It printed this morning and it looks great! Stay tuned for an upload of the picture!

The411 with Sherlene Shanklin: The Louisville Palace is rolling out the Red Carpet with top stars in 2012. I just posted that Trey Songz was coming and now they just announced that comedian Kevin Hart will be in Louisville for his "Let Me Explain" Tour. The actor/comedian will be here on Saturday, February 18th. The show starts at 7:30pm.
In September 2011 Hart released "Laugh At My Pain" the feature film version of his comedy tour, which is under the same name and that movie grossed over $7Million and was 2011 most successful film that was released in less than 300 theaters. The LAMP Tour made Hart 2011's number one comedian on Ticketmaster and in February 2011 Hart sold out the Nokia Theater two nights in a row to break a record previously set by Eddie Murphy.
Tickets for the "Let Me Explain" Tour go on sale Friday, January 6th at 10am.

|Portraying the Christ
Picture-of-Jesus.com is a collection of some of the most beautiful classical art, pictures and other images inspired by the New Testament. To head straight for the picture galleries, use the timeline in the Main Menu. More will be added continuously.
The Universal Picture of Jesus
Jesus of Nazareth is undoubtedly the person who has been portrayed the most times in pictures and paintings in the last two thousand years. Considering the multitude of different artist from various cultures and forks of Christianity who have painted Jesus Christ, it is strikingly similar how the picture of Him has looked throughout the last millennium. Besides artwork depicting Jesus as an infant and through His adolescence, we are more often than not met by the picture of a bearded man in his early middle years with long brown or black hair.
This and many other amazing paintings have helped shape contemporary art and the present way we picture Jesus by providing mental images – either of a suffering Christ on the cross, donning the crown of thorns, a Jesus performing miracles, or establishing Christian institutions - such as communion in the Last Supper with his disciples. Viewed in that context, there is very much a canonical element in Biblical art that has followed both society and church for hundreds of years.
When the turning point in Christianity that allowed and accepted images of Jesus came to pass is unclear, but today you are greeted by the face of Jesus not only in churches but during everyday life in many forms. Classical as well as modern interpretations of events from the New Testament carry both the message and a common denominator - that universal image of Jesus.
The Shroud of Turin - kept in a Cathedral in Turin, Italy is a linen cloth which is believed by many to show the actual face of Christ. Needless to say, it's disputed whether the Turin Shroud is genuine; radiocarbon dating has shown that the shroud was made in the middle ages, some 1300 years too late. Others have questioned the validity of the test, pointing out that the cloth sample used in the dating process may have been tainted by a fire or part of later repairs to the shroud. Regardless,the cloth means a great deal to many and it is very much in line with the way Jesus has been portrayed in the past millennium.
