Pre-show notes:
– I decided to write two Best And Worst columns this week because I hate myself. Please make sure to leave a comment, click the like button and share the column with wrestling fans you know. We want to make sure to keep bringing in new people to the community, so we don't end up with ten people telling me everything I write is great.
– Thanks to Casey of Hammerlock Dialectic for pics and gifs, as always. More excited to get a mark photo with him at King Of Trios than Tommy Dreamer.
– Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook.
– If you just tune in to With Leather for the wrestling reports, make sure not to miss With Spandex episode 6, where I talk to WWE Superstar Derrick Bateman about N64 WWF No Mercy mods, the Cleveland Indians, star ratings and a weird fan fiction where he and Kaitlyn go out for paninins and AJ is their waitress. It's a good time. Also, come to the site for more than the wrestling reports, jerk.
Anyway, enjoy the Best And Worst Of WWE No Way Out '12. Yes, I ordered the poster.
Best: Scott Stanford, Voice Of The WWE
WWE YouTube channel pre-shows are a great idea, even if the feed I was watching was choppier than a f**king Kobashi/Kenskee match. The highlight for me here, as it always is when he's around, was the inclusion of Mr. Scott Stanford on play-by-play. I don't think I can come up with a hyperbole big enough to explain how much better the Stanford/anybody team is than Lawler/Cole. I'm the guy who has on multiple occasions referred to Disney's The Country Bears as the "greatest movie ever" and I can't exaggerate hard enough to put it into words.
Stanford sounds like a real sports announcer (because he is), and I could never picture him in his underwear getting barbecue sauce poured on him as a gag or imagine hearing him shout over a match to get himself over because Gordon Solie wouldn't do those things god dammit and in kayfabe, an announcer should be worrying about how well he's announcing and literally nothing f**king else. Stanford's so good he makes me curse more. I don't find anything to get upset or indignant about … I don't care if Matt Striker is taking 8 minutes of a 6 minute match to explain the specifics of a ligament tear, all Stanford's got to do is say "Regal counters, looking to cover" and I'm at peace.
Hey WWE, you want legitimacy? Let a guy who talks about sports talk about sports. Your dumb thing is supposed to be a sport.
Worst: Brodus/Otunga Was Pretty Okay Until They Raw'd The Hell Out Of It
It may've been the fact that I was watching a pixelated slideshow of recap images, but I thought Brodus Clay versus David Otunga was pretty solid while it lasted, considering that "Brodus Clay" and "David Otunga" have historically been the two worst wrestlers on the roster since developmental. I remember watching Brodus botch lateral presses as the G-Rilla. Now they've both amassed enough personality to go through the motions and still come out with something enjoyable.
Unfortunately, the ending they went with was the "THE HEEL HAS HAD ENOUGH, HE'S LEAVING" thing that mid-80s NWA taught me is supposed to lead directly to the babyface chasing the heel down the ramp, grabbing him by the head and tossing him back in the ring. Now it's just the end of the match. I don't know why they had to protect Mr. Impromptu Pinfall David Otunga from a Funkasaurus squash, but hey, maybe they're planning to do something deeper with him than "travel thermos" in the post People Power WWE.
This was not the last instance of No Way Out looking like an okay episode of Raw.
Best: LET'S GO ZIGGLER
One of two things is happening here:
1. Dolph Ziggler has been great in the ring long enough that crowds have picked up on it and want to cheer him
2. Sheamus is such a limpdick Heavyweight Champion that WWE crowds will turn anyone who wrestles him into a mega babyface (see also: Daniel Bryan)
Either way, the New Jersey crowd doing a REEEARGHHH cheer of approval for Dolph Ziggler's entrance and chanting LET'S GO ZIGGLER pretty consistently throughout the match warmed my heart. It's the gripe I've been sharing for years now — if a guy is good at wrestling, all you really have to do is put him out there and let him be good at wrestling. Eventually the crowds will notice and WANT to see him be good at wrestling, and if he isn't a complete block of wood he'll find his place. It helps that Ziggler's exactly the Badly Named FCW Male Model WWE has tried to make a gross of in the past. It also helps that he's made of Flubber.
Worst: Let's Not Go, Jerry Lawler
Jerry Lawler heard the crowd chanting "LET'S GO ZIGGLER" and quipped about how the crowd was going crazy with "let's go Sheamus" chants. Nobody is chanting for Sheamus. At some point you've got to stop saying what's coming in through your headset and observe what's actually happening. If you aren't, take it in the other direction. When the crowd's chanting "GOLDBERG" during Ryback's match, laugh about how this crowd really thinks Dawn Marie's got herpes. You were friends with Kaufman, right? Make an Alzheimer's patient's understanding of wrestling chants your roaming booger.
Best: I Don't Like That Result, But Zig Zag Man Right There Is The Real Deal
Main-event style WWE matches in the modern era sorta live and die by the success of their nearfalls, and Ziggler/Sheamus had a few great ones. I don't think anyone watching though Ziggler was leaving as Heavyweight Champion, but the facebuster off the top and that DASTARDLY callback to WrestleMania and the worst on-screen moment in the history of my fandom were off the charts. Seriously, when Vickie got up on the apron for a good luck kiss my heart started beating faster and my head started sweating and time slowed down and I almost Somewhere In Time time traveled, but then the Brogue Kick didn't connect and I didn't have to go to the mental institution. Unfortunately the very first thing that happened at No Way Out was the most exciting.
If the crowds are really coming around to Ziggler, don't wait. Pull the trigger on him. If he stays the cool heel guy who bumps crazy and makes everyone look good and you don't push him up to the next level, he's going to FOR REAL be your new Mr. Perfect. Or your new Billy Gunn. You're gonna be filming a 2-disc Dolph Ziggler DVD 20 years from now and everybody's gonna be all maudlin in it, shaking their heads and wondering how a guy this good had one 11-minute technicality title run.
Put the guys who are good at this on top. Use the ones who aren't as townspeople.
Worst: Tuxedo Matches Are Almost As Bad As Blindfold Matches
When Michael Cole made the "this Tuxedo Match will join the ranks of OTHER great Tuxedo Matches like Tony Chimmel and Howard Finkel" joke at the beginning of this match, I feel like everyone involved should've just sorta sighed and went "yeah, okay, sorry" and Vince could stomp out and yell SHUT IT DOWN, SHUT IT ALL DOWN DAMMIT
I want to enjoy comedy matches, but like I said last week, comedy in wrestling only works well when wrestling is the comedy. When the comedy is "look at his underwear", not so much. I'm pretty sure looking at the funny guy in his underpants isn't aimed at my demographic, so I can only complain about it so much, but Jesus. Two guys slowly taking off each others' clothes while fussing at each other in exaggerated accents isn't particularly fun or funny, even if the climax is Santino revealing that he can do the Cobra with his leg. That was pretty good. He should get a WWE title match on Raw and come out in nothing but trunks with snakes on both of his arms and legs. Just Ultimate Punch the shit out of people with his snake body. Wear a snake on his head, too, like some f**ked up Medusa Howie Mandell and just tumble at people until they die.
But hey, real talk: I would wear those Alberto Del Rio underpants. Not gonna front.
Best: A Wild Tag Team Match Appears!
I was making notes as the show went on, and right here on a piece of notebook paper I've written "Abraham Washington – What is his job? Dopiest dope that ever doped" because of that pre-show thing where he revealed he'd accidentally let PERM's tag title rematch clause expire. Of course, that ended up being a part of the story (which we'll talk about later, in all caps) so I'll give a random best to a fatal fourway tag team match featuring 8 guys who never get to be on television in non-squash, non-"police officer" roles getting a showcase match on a pay-per-view out of the blue.
Best: The Intercontinental Championship, AKA The Easiest Thing To Make Important In Wrestling History
It is. The WWE Championship has been held for 40 years by the standard-bearers or whatever, but the IC title has been held by guys we love so much they had to get a belt. Guys like Macho Man Randy Savage, the WWF version of Ricky Steamboat, Owen Hart, Mr. Perfect and post-Crisis, pre-Zero Hour Chris Jericho. And sure, since the Attitude Era it's fallen into a weird, inconsistent funk and ended up around the waist of dudes like Carlito and goddamn Test, but it doesn't matter — the second someone gives hope to the Intercontinental Championship, we buy it. We desperately want to buy it. It's the easiest thing to make important in wrestling history.
So even though the story for the last year has been "Cody Rhdoes has the old version of the IC title but never defends it, lost to the Big Show, whoops wait beat the Big Show again, now Christian won a battle royal and ?", I'm happy to see two talented young wrestlers of import having a 12 minute pay-per-view match because they both want the Intercontinental Championship. How easy is that, nerds? Cody didn't even need to create any embarrassing Christian video packages.
Best: Christian, The Little Brother Of Wrestling
Christian, as many people have pointed out, is the "little brother" of wrestling.
That's not to say he's bad at wrestling. He's great at it, and at the risk of becoming the 2010s version of Diamond Dallas Page, he can put together a good-to-great match with almost anyone. The problem is that everything he does seems like a lamer version of someone else. When he does the spear, it's because Edge did the spear. Edge was TERRIBLE (f**king TERRRRIBLE) at the spear, but Christian's isn't any better. When Christian does the frog splash, it's decidedly more Chavo than Eddie Guerrero. When he does the Tomikaze, it takes him the length of a Divas match to set it up. I guess the question is this — is it more important to be great at what you do, or good at having done it?
It's not exciting for most, but I like WWE putting belts on people they want to keep as champions. CM Punk's title reign aside, they seem to be sticking to their guns with Sheamus as World Heavyweight Champion and now Christian as IC Champ. If you let them be champion for a while, it means something when the titles change. Now if we could just get those Gotham Museum Pennies to matter, we'd be set.
Worst: Triple H Said Some Stuff
He sure did.
Here's what he said: "Brock Lesnar, we should have a match at SummerSlam instead of you suing me, unless you're a weenus". He said "this business" about five words in. I hope Lesnar's response is, "What? No, I quit. Stop being stupid. Give me your money."

I'm pretty sure you are correct. I believe troughs are usually only in play for a day or two before moving off, although their effects can be felt for some time before or after in terms of their effects on ridges...I'm sure StormW knows more about it.

IT Job Market Robust, Despite Layoffs at Microsoft, HP
"Yes, layoffs were up significantly last year, but this was partly due to a handful of large layoffs announced by large firms that are trying to become more competitive in a changing and expanding tech environment," Challenger said. "So, we feel that despite the increase in cuts, the situation for tech companies and workers is indeed pretty good and is likely to continue improving this year." He said IT workers who are looking to change jobs should cast the widest net possible. "People, in general—not just IT workers—tend to seek job opportunities with the same job title, in the same industry and in the same geographic location. The need for IT workers expands well beyond the tech industry," to health care, manufacturing, and professional services, Challenger explained. "There are also opportunities beyond the borders of Silicon Valley, Boston and Seattle, in places like Omaha, Nebraska, Jacksonville, Florida and Milwaukee, Wisconsin." He said he expects the tech job market will continue to be strong in 2015, particularly in growing areas like big data, cloud computing, mobile app development and information security.Some firms already are having difficulty finding talent plus the shortage is expected to worsen as other factors, such as retirements, increase the need for more workers, Challenger warned. All of this benefits young, entry-level job seekers in the tech sector, who can take advantage of companies trying to build or re-build their bench, he said. "Yes, companies want experienced people, but they also need to bring in young talent to replace those experienced workers when they get poached or retire," he explained. "Companies that are not bringing in fresh, young talent are being very shortsighted and are likely to regret that strategy as labor shortages worsen." Goli echoed that sentiment, noting that the latest Dice hiring survey shows that companies plan to boost their hiring in 2015. Tech candidates will have a greater number of companies to choose from, he said.
"The layoffs from the legacy companies could be a great development for smaller firms that may have been struggling to find talent--that is, if the workers from these firms are willing to lower salary expectations and look for opportunities at fledgling operations or with companies outside of the tech sector or in regions of the country where salaries are lower--along with the cost of living," he said.

Recent Work: Roleplay
Find out where Sunny Leone landed on our list of The 50 Prettiest Porn Stars.
Is Sunny Leone the hottest Indian chick in porn? Perhaps. Leone got her start in the early aughts, when she did pictorial work for magazines like Penthouse and Hustler (she was Penthouse Pet Of The Year in 2003). In 2005, she transitioned into hardcore porn by signing a three-year contract with Vivid, but initially only did lesbian scenes (boo!). Then in 2007, when her contract was up for renewal, she agreed to do scenes with men. Well, sort of. She wanted to only film with her fiancee Matt Erikson. That lasted all of a year. Soon, she was fucking everyone, and the internet rejoiced. Today, she's successfully transitioned into directing, but she thankfully still finds the time to perform in the occasional scene.

Obituary: Ben Schaafsma
via New City:
Ben Schaafsma, an independent curator and art activist, passed away on Saturday, October 25. He was 26 years old.
Schaafsma was an exceptionally ambitious and motivated organizer of the arts community, establishing non-profit art institutions at almost every turn. Perhaps his best-known and longest-running effort was the Institute for Community Understanding Between Art and The Everyday (InCUBATE), founded with Abigail Satinsky and Roman Petruniak. The Logan Square storefront houses an artist residency and a grant program, among many other activities, that, at their core, serve to support artistic endeavors.
Schaafsma often sought to solve funding issues using creative and non-traditional means. InCUBATE's Sunday Soup program awarded a monthly grant to an artist from monies earned through a soup subscription. A local artist or activist cooked soup to be sold, and diners voted on who would win the grant. This type of self-supporting endeavor exemplifies Schaafsma's efforts to build and sustain community.
In 2007, Schaafsma was the Public Art Curator for Around the Coyote's Fall Festival. He interpreted "public art" as a way to bring the public together in social spaces, such as spontaneous film screenings in the Polish Triangle, and interactive sculptures in Wicker Park.
Schaafsma earned a bachelor's degree in Art History and Urban Planning from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he was born and raised. There, he co-founded G-RAD and the Division Ave. Arts Cooperative, alternative community outreach centers.
At age 9, Schaafsma cataloged his personal collection of books, magazines and VHS tapes, and built a library in his basement for neighborhood kids to use. "Not until recently did I identify this experience as such a formative one in relation to my current personal interests and practice," wrote Schaafsma in an essay on founding InCUBATE in "Phonebook," a directory of alternative artistic spaces. The self-made library "gave us access to a pool of new ideas and things that weren't available to us individually." In sum, "we were able to…create our own collective knowledge."
In 2008 he earned a master's degree form the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Arts Administration and Policy.
Schaafsma co-curated "Other Options" in 2007, a touring exhibition that explored connections among activism, economics, and art making, and self-referentially questioned the nature of the "Nonprofit Industrial Complex." The exhibition, recently hosted by New York City's Eyebeam, intended to better understand the relationships between artists and funding sources. Schaafsma was well-versed in both theoretical and concrete issues of budgeting for the arts-both financially and as a life practice-and he could express his concerns in cogent and thoughtful ways. These issues were clearly his passion.
Schaafsma helped artists realize their creative projects without having to rely on traditional means-the mysteriously bureaucratic systems of museums and granting agencies. Instead, Schaafsma envisioned realistic ways to assist artists and connect their practices to everyday existence. Schaafsma was especially interested in promoting artists who likewise used the public and social spaces as their medium.
Schaafsma recently moved to New York to work as the Program Director at the Elizabeth Foundation. He was injured in a car accident on October 22, and passed three days later. Schaafsma will be buried in his hometown in Ada, Michigan. (Jason Foumberg)
Jerry Saltz on Frieze
via New York Magazine:
Two weeks ago, the Death Star that has hovered over the art world for the last two years finally fired its lasers. It was October 15, the day the stock market fell more than 700 points-again-and a month after Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch collapsed and Damien Hirst pawned off $200 million worth of crapola on clueless rubes at Sotheby's. Against this backdrop, at 11 a.m., the gates of London's Frieze Art Fair opened, and in streamed the international traveling circus of bigwigs, collectors, curators, advisers, museum directors, trustees, models, movie stars, and critics like moi.
Talk of financial doom filled the air. Karl Schweizer, UBS's head of art banking, told one reporter, "We are in a liquidity crisis." Money manager Randy Slifka added, "There is blood on the streets on Wall Street." Collectors talked about "sewing up our pockets." Yet much of the art world was playing on as if nothing had happened. A German dealer told Artforum.com, "This economic mess will all be over by January." Christie's Amy Cappellazzo spun her house's recent sales: "If you bought something, you bought something real." In truth, most of the speculators are buying something real bad or badly overpriced.
In fact, though, things were different. Those of us who have frequented Frieze could see that something was off. Dealers and assistants who in recent years were always busy with clients now stood or sat quietly. Sales were happening, but slowly, one at a time. The claim of "It's sold" was replaced by "I have it on several holds." Although the megagalleries like Gagosian and White Cube teemed with moneyed types and very tall women in very high heels, many younger dealers looked perplexed. A gallerist who entered the field in the go-go aughts and who had sold only two pieces by 5 p.m. that first day asked, "What's going on?"
As I made my way through the 152 booths, I thought about the moment in Titanic when the designer of the doomed luxury liner warns Kate Winslet to find a lifeboat because "all this will be at the bottom of the Atlantic." When I tried this idea out on attendees, several said I was "a buzzkill." I asked, "Isn't the buzz already beginning to disappear?"
If the art economy is as bad as it looks "if worse comes to worst" 40 to 50 New York galleries will close. Around the same number of European galleries will, too. An art magazine will cease publishing. A major fair will call it quits-possibly the Armory Show, because so many dealers hate the conditions on the piers, or maybe Art Basel Miami Beach, because although it's fun, it's also ridiculous. Museums will cancel shows because they can't raise funds. Art advisers will be out of work. Alternative spaces will become more important for shaping the discourse, although they'll have a hard time making ends meet.
As for artists, too many have been getting away with murder, making questionable or derivative work and selling it for inflated prices. They will either lower their prices or stop selling. Many younger artists who made a killing will be forgotten quickly. Others will be seen mainly as relics of a time when marketability equaled likability. Many of the hot Chinese artists, most of whom are only nth-generation photo-realists, will fall by the wayside, having stuck collectors with a lot of junk.
Much good art got made while money ruled; I like a lot of it, and hardship and poverty aren't virtues. The good news is that, since almost no one will be selling art, artists-especially emerging ones-won't have to think about turning out a consistent style or creating a brand. They'll be able to experiment as much as they want.
But my Schadenfreude side wishes a pox on the auction houses, those shrines to the disconnect between the inner life of art and the outer life of commerce. If they don't go belly up or return to dealing mainly with dead artists, they need to stop pretending that they have any interest in art beyond the financial. Additionally, I hope many of the speculators who never really cared about art will go away. Either way, money will no longer be the measure of success. It hasn't made art better. It made some artists-notably Hirst, Murakami, Prince, and maybe Piotr Uklañski-shallower.
Recessions are hard on people, but they are not hard on art. The forties, seventies, and the nineties, when money was scarce, were great periods, when the art world retracted but it was also reborn. New generations took the stage; new communities spawned energy; things opened up; deadwood washed away. With luck, New Museum curator Laura Hoptman's wish will come true: "Art will flower and triumph not as a hobby, an investment, or a career, but as what it is and was – a life."
Land Art: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow?
Michael Heizer, Double Negative, 1969
via The Art Newspaper:
Green issues are now high up the political agenda, from worries about global warming to research into sustainable fuels. One related topic that is galvanising conservationists is the fate of a number of iconic works of Land Art which are under threat from energy and real estate development.
The use of nature as a medium to create monumental works of art emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a protest against the materialism of the art world. Artists such as Robert Smithson, Michael Heizer and Walter De Maria sought to create works that could not be contained by a museum or placed in a collector's home.
Arguably the most iconic intervention in the US landscape is Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty, 1970, a spiral constructed from basalt rock and earth which juts into the Great Salt Lake in Utah from its northeastern shore.
This summer, conservationists won a reprieve from the Canadian oil company Pearl Montana Exploration, which wants to conduct exploratory drilling into the lake bed. In co-operation with Smithson's widow Nancy Holt, also a land artist, and the public policy group Friends of the Great Salt Lake, the Dia Art Foundation, which owns and has maintained Spiral Jetty since 1999, started a petition against the drilling. The state of Utah received thousands of complaints. "What we particularly object to is the potential visual impact that drilling might have on the work, as well as the equally important environmental impact it could have on the lake itself and its delicate ecosystem," says Laura Raicovich, deputy director of Dia. "An oil spill could be disastrous for the lake, and therefore, the jetty."
On 13 August, Utah's Division of Oil, Gas and Mining returned Pearl Montana's application for a permit to drill on the land near Spiral Jetty, stating that the company's responses to questions on the project were "inadequate". Although the company is allowed to refile its application, the state has said it must first "make the necessary investment and professional effort necessary to match the challenges presented ahead by this project". Ms Raicovich says Dia is working with the state to negotiate the long-term preservation of the work and that the state is conducting an analysis to establish what the visual impact of drilling would be, among other considerations.
Still at risk
Other works remain at risk. On the opposite side of the Great Salt Lake from Spiral Jetty is Nancy Holt's Sun Tunnels, 1976, four massive concrete cylinders which the artist aligned to frame the rising and setting sun during solstices. In May 2007, the oil and gas rights on a parcel of land directly adjacent to the work were offered for sale by the state of Utah, which said in a press release that it had researched the site, in consultation with the Utah State Historic Preservation Office, and found "no historic properties affected". As we went to press, no bids had yet been made on the land.
Meanwhile in Nevada, Michael Heizer's City, a massive complex of sculptures and earthen forms built by the artist next to his ranch in Lincoln County, is not yet finished but already threatened by development. Stretching one and a quarter miles across the desert, City is one of the largest works of art ever undertaken, and has occupied the artist for over 30 years. Recently, the US Department of Energy (DOE) revealed plans to build a railway running across Garden Valley, next to the work and the artist's home. This would transport nuclear waste to a storage facility at Yucca Mountain in southern Nevada. First proposed in the 1980s, the Yucca Mountain project has been repeatedly stalled by legal challenges. Last month, the DOE's application was processed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and it now has up to four years to complete safety studies and hold public hearings before the site can open. Around $9 billion has already been spent on the project. The DOE estimates that the railway will cost over $2 billion to build.
In-built destruction
Despite the developers, the most consistent threat to Land Art is nature itself. Many early examples are eroding as exposure to the elements slowly takes its toll. For most artists, this is part of the works' natural evolution.
One of the first monumental sculptures is Michael Heizer's Double Negative, 1969, two perfectly aligned trenches cut into the Mormon Mesa in Nevada. Around 240,000 tons of sandstone was displaced to create the ravines which span 1,500 feet and are each 50 feet deep.
The work was donated to the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) in Los Angeles by dealer Virginia Dwan. According to the artist's wishes, MoCA does not perform any conservation on the piece. Meanwhile, the walls of the man-made canyon are slowly crumbling.

Artist, curator, healer, and writer AA Bronson is the executive director of New York's Printed Matter and the NY Art Book Fair. This year, the third annual fair, at Phillips de Pury, runs October 24-26, coinciding with the ARLIS/NY Contemporary Artists' Books Conference, which takes place October 23-26. Here Bronson talks about artists' books and the purview of the fair and conference.
BECAUSE THE NY ART BOOK FAIR is a nonprofit fair, our idea from the beginning was to be as inclusive as possible: We wanted to include everything from Taschen to the independent, poverty-stricken artist. We gave out a lot of free stands to people who couldn't afford them, and charged as little as possible. This year, there are quite a number of antiquarian or vintage book sellers; there are DAP and RAM, both major art distributors; there are a number of small publishers from all over the world; there are quite a few alternative institutions that have publishing programs; smaller nonprofit spaces; and also independent artists and artist groups-people like Red 76 from Portland, for example. If we could find another category that wasn't being represented, we'd make every effort to jam it in.
This year, there are 143 exhibitors; it was 123 last year and 70 the year before, which means it's now double the first year. A number of things have happened simultaneously to make the field more salient. One is that book and art-book designers have been influenced a great deal by artists' books, so we're getting used to seeing mainstream catalogues that are quite unusual. The format of the book has become much looser over the past five to ten years. But more than that, I think there's been a generational shift. For example, here at Printed Matter, two-thirds of the people who shop are under thirty-five. The norm at book fairs is that everyone's over fifty-when you go to a book fair and look around, it's all old people. When you come to the NY Art Book Fair, you see a huge population of young people. I think that bodes very well for the publishing and art worlds in general. But it also says something about young people themselves-they have a level of interest in books that nobody was quite aware of before.
New York used to be a center for art books, but over the years we've lost a number of great bookstores: Wittenborn, which used to be across from the Whitney; Jaap Reitman, which was a great bookstore in SoHo in its day; Hacker Art Books on Fifty-seventh Street-we don't have any of the great bookstores of the world now. We have the shop at MoMA, where the number of titles has decreased; the shop at the Whitney, which is pretty sad; and the shop at the New Museum, which is very pretty, but it has nowhere near as many titles as it used to. We felt we needed to resituate New York on the map as a center for art books.
In Los Angeles in 2005, there was an ARLIS conference on artists' books. We sent a person from Printed Matter, and she came back and said it's ridiculous-you have to drive everywhere, and it's totally inconvenient, and yet the conference was a huge success. LA isn't exactly a center for art librarians, so we thought we should be doing that here in New York. She pulled together a group of librarians from MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, and the New York Public Library, and we chatted about this possibility. At a certain point, we forgot about it, but in the meantime those librarians kept talking, and suddenly it reemerged, and they came back to us again and said, "OK, now we're ready. Will you join us?" We agreed, and off it went.
The initial group of four began inviting other librarians-one from the Metropolitan, one from the CICP, etc.-to join a steering group. Each one then devised a session. It's put together in a funny patchwork sort of way. Printed Matter's proposal was for the keynote, which is Hans Ulrich Obrist talking with Rirkrit Tiravanija and Joseph Grigley. Somehow it's become a coherent program; librarians are a pretty collaborative group, so it cooked well.
The explosion of the visual zine in recent years has been amazing. It's possible to produce them cheaply, in smallish quantities, without it costing an arm and a leg-and people buy them. This year at the fair we're doing an exhibition of queer zines. It's the biggest exhibition component we've taken on in the three years of the fair, and we've produced a 270-page catalog to accompany it. There are over one hundred titles in the show, and the catalog is very inclusive. There's also a special section of queer-zine exhibitors-it's sort of the theme of this year's fair. I think the popularity of queer zines may have something to do with Butt magazine; Butt proved it was possible to do something that situated itself midway between being obscure and being mainstream; it also proved that there was an audience that would buy something like that. It's interesting how many there are: Kaiserin from Paris, Dik Fagazine from Warsaw, Piss Zine from Milan, Kink from Madrid, Handbook from San Francisco (one of my favorites), and then of course all the New York ones-Pinups and Pin-Up, Straight to Hell-and then individual artists' zines, like Paul Mpagi Sepuya's Shoot. It's become a big field.
What artists are doing today is prompting us to revise our thoughts on what's been done in the past. For example, the output of Ed Sanders's Fuck You press on the Lower East Side, which involved quite a number of artists (Andy Warhol did one of the covers; Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts is its most famous edition), has been totally overlooked as an artists' publication. Because we're used to looking at the Ed Ruschas and Bruce Naumans, there's a lot of material that hasn't received historical attention. Today, we're revising the history of artist publications; what is happening right now is extremely diverse, it's no longer a single field.

Date: MoOnday 15 February 2016
Time: 17:00 – 23:00 (all times are GMT)
Place: The Hub Cafe, Regent's Park, NW1 4RU with the Baker Street Irregular Astronomers
The Sun sets today at 17:10.
The Moon has been in the sky all afternoon, in the constellation of Taurus. It is close to the bright red star Aldebaran and the famous star cluster of Pleiades. Moonrise was at 10:54 and it will cross the meridian (ie will be due south) at 18:24 when it will be 374,581 km from Earth and 55.1% illuminated. The Moon was precisely at First Quarter (50.0% illuminated) at 07:46, before it rose this morning. Since that time it has started to wax. The Moon will set early tomorrow morning at 00:53.
What does the Moon look like when you stare at it?
You will see the Moon as in this photograph. Some areas are light and same patches are darker. Why are the dark patches called 'seas'? The lighter areas are highlands.
Note the division between the illuminated right side of the Moon and the left side in shadow. The division between the two is called the terminator.
At First Quarter the terminator is straight vertically. Note how the shape of the terminator will change over the next few days.
What do you see when you look through a pair of binoculars or a telescope?
Looking through a pair of binoculars you see something like this image. If you are looking through a telescope, owing to the instrument's optics, the image will be either be inverted or flipped left to right. Either way you will see greater detail in the image.
Can you see six maria?
Frigoris (Cold) at the top (north),
Serenitatis (Serenity) below.
Below them is Tranquillitatis (Tranquillity) where Man first walked on the Moon in July 1969.
Nearer the edge (limb) are Fecunditatis (Fertility) below the easily seen oval Crisium (Crises).
The most southern 'sea' visible is Nectaris (Nectar).
Notice how craters visible are of different sizes and some are superimposed on others. Shadows cast by the edges of craters reveal their depths, see how some are deep, others shallow and many have a walled rim with a central mountain peak. Some of the ancient craters have been flooded by lava. Studying craters help astronomers understand the geology and age of the Moon.
10 Lunar Features To Observe
ARISTOTELES and EUDOXUS
Just below the most northern 'sea' Mare Frigoris are two easily seen craters.
ARISTOTELES is a very prominent, young, large 87 km circular crater formed 3.2 – 1.1 billion years ago. It has pronounced terraced inner crater walls, and the crater floor lies 3.3 km below the crater rim. Remnants of central mountains are detectable.
Forms a remarkable couple with EUDOXUS, another prominent crater with terraced crater walls. It has a diameter of 67 km and a depth of 3.4 km.
Minimum Objective needed to observe: 50mm.
A young impact crater, 27 km diameter, located on the southern shore of Mare Serenitatis near the eastern end of the Montes Haemus mountain range. The wall of Menelaus is slightly irregular in outline, with a high, sharp rim and terraced inner walls. Formed by low angle impact 1.2 billion years ago
Minimum instrument: 50mm.
THEOPHILUS, CYRILLUS and CATHARINA
A 101km crater formed 3.2-1.1 billion years ago.
Circular formation with tormented and steep slopes overhanging Sinus Asperitatis to the north from 1200 km and supporting CYRILLUS to the south-west and the crater MADLER to the east. Very high walls with terraces overlapped by THEOPHILUS B to the north-west. Flat floor. Imposing central mountain 1400m high with four summits. Line of crests hills and craterlets.
Minimum instrument: 10x binoculars.
A 98 km crater formed 3.9-3.8 billion years ago. Has a damaged circular formation. Tormented and steep slopes supporting THEOPHILUS to the north-east and the crater IBN RU'SHD to the north-west. Pretty high walls higher to the east than to the west crushed by THEOPHILUS to the north-east. Tormented and extensive floor with three central mountains and a groove to the south.
Minimum instrument: 10x binoculars.
Formed during the same era as CYRILLUS, this crater is 1000 km wide having a very damaged circular form. Pretty steep slopes and tormented to the north-east and supporting minor craters. High walls to the south-east crushed by the large ghost semi-crater CATHARINA P to the north, by CATHARINA B and G to the north-east and by CATHARINA S to the south. Flat floor to the east and tormented to the west.
Minimum Instrument: 10x binoculars.
These ancient, large impact craters form a beautiful triplet are on the north eastern shores of Mare Nubium, positioned near to the terminator. The large walled plain Ptolemaeus (or Ptolemy, to give it its more familiar English name) has a distinctly hexagonal appearance.
Ptolemaeus has a large flat floor with no central peak , and the edge is almost nonexistent in some places. The middle crater, Alphonsus, has also a flat floor, but shows a central peak and its walls are more robust. The southern one, Arzachel , is a fine example of a complex crater, with terraced walls, and a distinct central peak.
In terms of age of craters, Ptolemaeus is the oldest, Alphonsus is the middle one and the youngest is Arzachel. This group is a favourite with lunar sketchers and photographers.
Minimum instrument: 10x binoculars.
114 km in size and formed 3.9 – 3.8 billion years ago. A circular formation forming an interesting couple with crater BAROCIUS. It has very steep slopes especially to the east supporting smaller craters to the north, BAROCIUS to the south and presenting a double wall to the south-east. It has a flat floor with numerous craters and an off-centred mountain
Minimum instrument: 10x binoculars.

Waldorf School of Orange County sets May Faire
Flowers and ribbon will outline a rose-petal pathway to a meadow set for the glorious celebration of spring, as the Waldorf School of Orange County hosts its annual May Faire on May 4.
The school expects more than 1,000 guests to watch the maypole performances and listen to the music performed by students in pre-kindergarten through high school. Guests are invited to participate in spring crafts and to weave their own floral garlands to wear. Students will dance around the maypole, weaving beautiful ribbons in intricate patterns.
The eighth-grade class' yearlong projects will be on display. The "Eighth-Grade Project" is a longstanding tradition at the school. The students have spent the year learning about a new subject with the help of a mentor and hours of dedication to the practical application of learning a new skill or creating something. Examples of project topics are: archery, ballroom dance, robotics, computer-aided design, building a go-kart and scroll sawing. The eighth-grader's practical projects will be on display, as will their presentation boards. Students will be on hand to discuss their work and newfound passions.
As usual, delicious food will be available, as well as fabulous tents set up with handmade wares by local artisans. The Kuffel Creek String Band will once again provide contra folk music all afternoon, giving the community and guests the opportunity to kick up their feet in folk dancing.
The May Faire, a tradition at the Waldorf School of Orange County, is modeled after the ancient tradition of May Day, which celebrated the beginning of summer, and by Roman tradition was sacred to Flora, the goddess of spring. For the Waldorf School of Orange County, this tradition highlights the role of the arts in our lives and is in keeping with the philosophy of Waldorf education. It is a day the school and the greater community look forward to year after year.
The Faire will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is $3. Children 2 and younger are free.

No more than three people on campus knew that 12 months earlier, I had been only five feet, five inches tall weighing a pudgy 150 pounds. One year later I was six feet and three quarter inches tall and weighed 175 pounds -- with speed. My growth spurt came later than most. I'd begun elementary school at 3 years of age. And my growth occurred at the end of high school where it would normally have occurred in my high school freshman year.
So a mere rotation of the calendar later, I had become the fastest frosh player at San Diego State. I was faster than most of the varsity players as well! If I could quickly develop the skills that are normally honed in high school, I had a shot at San Diego State history and maybe down the line, even a shot at the pros. Everyone has a nickname on the gridiron and mine was "The Flash." It was given to me by another freshman wide receiver with extraordinary artistic skills. He would draw in pencil beautiful depictions of we players in uniform and in action. Back in the day, I was one of the few to appreciate the value of a "triple bar helmet" and I looked "sweet" in my signature, taped white wrists, white shoes and taped high white socks and all of my teeth.
Entering my sophomore year, I'd now played football, had run track and was becoming "the man" of sorts on campus. Girls were taking stock of this just-turned 17-year-old and the only thing holding me back was that both my mother and sister were now seniors on the same campus. It is difficult to "spit game" when your mama may be watching you from across the plaza. It is even more difficult to "talk stuff" when everyone else is 20 to 25 years old. Add to that Don Coryell's watchful eye as my tennis instructor as well as my football coach and I was pretty much a "goner" when it came to any form of "misbehaving." Coryell had been a boxer and though his voice was hilarious when he was excited, no one ever challenged him. So I had more adult guidance than most college "wanna be" stars.
And this is where a new good friend would come in. Fred Lewis, let's call him, was a new freshman on campus as I entered my sophomore year. We met in the "commons" primarily because I was also seeking the eclectic lifestyle and there was a table area where all the intellectuals hung out. I would wear jeans and a cardigan one day, a three-piece and wing tips the next and bermuda shorts and huaraches later in the week. I didn't want to be stereotyped as a football player or anything else, and consented to join only Alpha Phi Omega, a national service fraternity. I was struggling with "fitting in" but also knew that the sheepish quality of most students at the time made me not want to "fit in" anyplace. I was black and bright, which left me two standard deviations outside most people's impressions of whom I might actually be. But Fred didn't fit in either, which held an attraction for me -- now, for the first time, in the role of "Big Brother."
Fred was bright and insecure but not un-athletic. But he was not an athlete in strictest of terms, though the potential was there. We would play bridge, share knowledge of a class and then go to have pizza some weekends. And because of (and in spite of) his isolation, I became one of his best friends. He had few and this was by choice. Fred was also Jewish. He was an odd cross between Norman Finkelstein and Alan Dershowitz intellectually with some George Clooney thrown in to round out his inner iconoclast. We would discuss everything and I truly enjoyed this admixture of the qualities that I found positive contrasted against all those Sigma Chi's walking around the place with 12 packs under their arms and kegs between their weekends.
Having not seen him in some time, I cannot speak for Fred now. But when I knew him and when he first met Nancy, he would never have described himself as a Zionist. Nothing about him was ill-considered or knee-jerk, which both endeared him to Nancy and placed a barrier between them. Nancy wanted what many young women sought in those times and now. The idyllic wild-guy who could be tamed! Nancy came from a wealthy East Coast family and, like us all, she was in her youthful rebellious period.
Standing to the left of Fred on his wedding day, my emotions were nearly as high and mixed as those of the lucky couple. I was honored to be the best man at their wedding. I was also honored to be the best man at a Jewish wedding. It was a time when young people were attempting to break many molds. And I couldn't help musing, "Will anyone be really angry if I stomp on the glass before Fred gets to." Nancy was deliriously happy, more in love with love than with Fred I thought. She had become my good friend also and I had counseled her as to her pell mell, willy-nilly race toward being in love versus being in love with Fred. Fred had been a little aloof during their relationship and I'd counseled her that after the smoke had cleared, she might not find that "closest thing to a bad boy" attraction the same over time. I was smarter then than I knew!
But Fred was a good friend and long after their separation and divorce we were still close. We didn't share everything everyday. But I knew his parents, had spent much time in his home (and he mine) and had grown to know this part of my own "Jewish-ness." I had grown up in the political activist LA/Hollywood community. I'd traveled and learned from other Jewish political and media activists who supported Ethel and Julius Rosenberg and advocated for black full entry into socio/political American participation. And now I was missing that relationship emblematic of my proximity to Fred, a person I knew and respected merely because of who he was, not what he was.
Where assistant coaches would implore, "Get to the ball, Andy -- go through him Andy -- put a helmet on him Andy," Fred would say unashamedly and in erudite fashion, "Though Zionism is racism, it does not mean that the Jewish cause for a homeland isn't just." And this towering intellectual "to-be" would often mispronounce a certain word -- and he knew he was miss-pronouncing it. I liked Fred and Nancy and miss the continuance of that relationship yet today.
Which brings me to my point. A chasm exists between the Jewish and African-American communities that were at one time more easily broached. Jews and African-Americans in Hollywood and Chicago where I spent my childhood related and spent time together, worked together toward collective goals and it is only now in retrospect that this fusion seems broken. And it is not merely that my recent having reached out to B'nai B'rith on this issue has fallen short. Institutions are always the shills of narrow policy. But young African-Americans today know nothing of a culture that the subtle forces of mainstream America teach them to decry. Black kids do know that their names will not appear on NPR reports for the most part and they articulate that disappointment increasingly as do white members the majority culture.
At a time when we should all be coming together to construct the tools necessary to undue prejudice and exclusion, we are not! The advance of one group without the advance of that other historical compatriot, where they walked stride by stride for decades, devastates the ability of both groups to know and share their similarities and differences and know their shared history.
Fred and I worked out together on the track my sophomore and junior years. Fred received the watchful care of my mother and sister his freshman year at "State" before they graduated. Fred is still my friend and has been for some time. And I still have the extra wine glass and napkin to wrap it in that I want to stomp and break -- but only with Fred Lewis there to see it and laugh with me.

SEGMENT: Raymond Pettibon in "Humor"
Featured in this video
From the series
Release date
October 1, 2003
Raymond Pettibon's drawings and paintings pair text and image in provocative and sometimes disconcerting ways, creating a powerful comic art for adults. Pettibon explains, "even though my work is usually just one drawing, it is more of a narrative than it is a cartoon with a punch line and a resolution and a laugh at the end." The characters of Gumby and Vavoom are recurring motifs in his work, but so are American presidents like Nixon and Reagan. Pettibon finds subjects for satire and social commentary in a broad range of images from popular culture. "I don't feel constrained by subject matter, " he says, "I welcome practically anything into the drawing."

Thirty Futures: Utah Jazz
The Jazz are about as pleasantly low-stakes as basketball teams get. Every couple of years there's a team like this, with a young core who figure to improve game-by-game, a clever coach who knows what to do with them, vague championship promise that no one involved is yet under much pressure to make good on, and a slight chance to go on a playoff run.

Blazers, Jazz, Pelicans And The Merits Of Middle Class Improvement
There's nothing the Blazers, Jazz or Pelicans can do that would effectively counter Golden State nearly running out an All-NBA team as a starting lineup.

Ditch the ties, crochet sweaters, and gift cards – it's time to revolutionize the way you think of holiday gift giving. Gifts need not be mandatory annual exercises, but can be strategic and advancing for you and your career.
Here are three ways to give your perception of and attitude toward gift giving a 2012 facelift:
To Whom?
Rule: Give to the person(s) least expecting a gift; not only will this negate the immediate assumption that your gift lacks purpose, reason, or sincerity, but it ascertains that they will think more about your gift than any other.
- Possible recipients include: Cleaning staff, superintendant, security guards, janitors, not your boss's secretary (but the boss you want to work for), your "worst," most dormant client.
- Why they are the right people: Firstly, these are the people who deserve the gifts and will appreciate them the most. Secondly, while giving these gifts is intrinsically fulfilling and kind, these people speak and they speak to everyone. The more surprised they are, the more they speak about it; the better you look, the more people like you.
Everyone wants to hire the popular person in the office, who gets along with everyone from the elevator serviceman to the boss. People skills, personality, and relatability are all key characteristics that hiring managers are constantly looking for in candidates.
Rule: Dig deep! It's all in the details, so do research, ask around, and find something specific to them. Engage in conversation and discover what she can use or enjoy.
- Example No. 1: You're talking to a secretary in the office and arguing over who has the better coffee, Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks. She is adamant that Dunkin' Donuts is better. So buy her an engraved mug from Dunkin' Donuts with packets of Dunkin' Donuts coffee – or give her everything from Starbucks.
- Example No. 2: You're chatting with a security guard about his weekend and he mentions he was surfing with some friends. Get him a subscription to a surfing magazine sent directly to his residence with a short note from you.
Attention to detail speaks volumes about someone; it's the difference between simply giving a gift and building a relationship. Utilize holiday gifts to stand out from the crowd and separate yourself from other candidates; you never know when it will come around to give you that extra help you need.
Rule: Discreet is sweet – don't hand it over like you would a bill at a restaurant. Be creative and in doing so, reveal another level of your sincerity and creativity.
- Strategy is key. Demonstrate how practical the gift is by inserting it into their daily lives. For example, bring the superintendent fresh coffee in his brand new engraved thermos!
- Stick to subtlety and increase the impact. If you're replacing something, replace it without them knowing. If you're close enough with them, buy them a new app for their phone/tablet and leave a Post-it stuck to the back of the device.
The best in the business make it look easy. Don't turn your gift into a huge deal or monumental event; impress your future employers and employees with your suave subtlety and confidence.

The USO Liberty Bells, a traveling song and dance troupe based out of Times Square in New York City, looks for new talent at the start of each year.
At their annual auditions, Bells from the previous year return to show off their talent, and new performers try out for a panel of judges. This year, the Bells plan to add about six new singers to the troupe.
"There is so much talent out there," said Ray Kennedy, USO Liberty Bells Director and Choreographer. "The new singers that auditioned this year and the returning Bells sang from their books and man, did they raise the bar!"
These amazing singers and dancers perform at hundreds of shows each year, entertaining tens of thousands, and carrying on the morale-boosting entertainment tradition of the USO.
"I'm a huge fan of the Liberty Bells," said John Pray, USO Executive Vice President and Chief of Staff. "Not simply because they are incredibly talented performers, but because they do so much to help us lift the spirits of troops and their families."
