BFA Thesis Exhibitions: An Immigrants' Daughter by Yasmine El-Chaer and Nature of Beast by Tara Swalgren open Monday March 19th
APSU Department of Art + Design presents the senior BFA Thesis Exhibitions An Immigrants' Daughter by Yasmine El-Chaer and Nature of Beast by Tara Swalgren. The exhibitions will open Monday, March 19th with a reception from 5-7pm. The artists will give short talks about their work beginning at 5:30pm. The show will continue through March 23rd.
Yasmine El-Chaer: An Immigrants' Daughter will be a series of work revolving around the experience that her and other girls have grown up around in America. Yasmine wants to create a series of work that sheds light on the life of second generation women. She feels that they are an underrepresented class and due to her own experiences was moved to speak on the topic.
Tara Swalgren says about her exhibition Nature of Beast, "I have always been interested in animals. They are majestic, mysterious, and desired. These are some of the many reasons I pursue making these works. I find them captivating, but I want to make the animals more desired, more captivating, more mysterious. I integrate other natural elements into these images. They are fantastical yet they appear feasible. They don't look so far off from the animals we see in our lives. You might even believe that you have seen something like this before. I want my viewer to enjoy the creature and plants integrated into each piece. I want you to get lost in the color and textures of the work. I want you to indulge yourself, if only for a moment."

The Department of Art + Design and CECA annouce Andrew Scott Ross as the 2017-18 recipient of the Tennessee Artist Fellowship
The Austin Peay State University Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts (CECA, or "seek-ah") is pleased to announce that Andrew Scott Ross, of Johnson City, is the 2017-18 recipient of the Tennessee Artist Fellowship.
The CECA Tennessee Artist Fellowship was created to celebrate contemporary art and to support the continued creative work of exceptional Tennessee artists. Unlike other fellowships, nominations and applications from artists are not solicited. A committee of APSU faculty compiles a list of outstanding artists from across the state from which the fellowship recipient is selected. Through support from CECA, the selected artist receives $5,000 to aid in the creation of new artwork and $2,000 for an artist lecture at a future date.
"Since APSU is the Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts for the entire state of Tennessee, we wanted to find a way to support artists state-wide," Barry Jones, chair of the APSU Department of Art and Design, said. "There is an incredible amount of amazing artists here, but unfortunately there isn't much financial support for them. We hope that this fellowship helps a Tennessee artist maintain their practice and to know that we support what they are doing."
Ross received his BFA from the Atlanta College of Art and his MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He subsequently studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and is currently an associate professor in drawing at East Tennessee State University.
"We were highly impressed with Ross' work," a member of the selection committee said. "His gritty, yet refined, work is conceptually layered and rich with texture, and his drawings transcend the two-dimensional surface we associate with drawing media. His manipulation of the drawing surface into large-scale installations, along with his dedication in constructing a personal visual language, is what made him the top choice for this year's fellowship. We're excited that contemporary drawing is alive and well in Tennessee."
Ross has exhibited throughout the United States and abroad, including The Museum of Arts and Design in New York, The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia in Atlanta, The Guggenheim Museum in New York, The Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, The Knoxville Museum of Art and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center.
His work has been reviewed in publications such as Art in America, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Sculpture Magazine and the Village Voice. Recently, his work was included in the 2017 Atlanta Biennial (ATLBNL) at the Atlanta Contemporary, and the curated section of the Art on Paper exhibit at the Weatherspoon Museum in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Past recipients of the CECA Tennessee Artist Fellowship include Alicia Henry, Nashville, and Maysey Craddock, Memphis. For information on the CECA Tennessee Artist Fellowship, contact Janice Crews, director of CECA, at email@example.com.

Professor Barry Jones included in Art as Information at The Delaware Contemporary
Art as Information
Group Video Exhibition
The Delaware Contemporary
November 21, 2017 — January 26, 2018
Video art is a genre that has moved in the last thirty years from the margins of contemporary art to its mainstream. As a result, the moving image has equally become ubiquitous in daily life. Through the points of tangency in television screens and the internet we have come to trust these conduits of reality as fact. Media has built that trust from the early days of Walter Cronkite to the boom of independent documentaries in the 90s and 2000s. The 24-hour news cycle changed the way journalism gets presented on television, and as such challenged the establishment of trust in information.
Art As Information looks at our relationship with video, the screen, and the information generated by them. All art is informative of something, but this exhibition focuses on the televisual experience of creating and transmitting knowledge through mass media. The artists included in the exhibition have either built on the established means of information in the screen century, or they have subverted the traditional conveyance of information. Art As Information will mix these two approaches together and challenge the viewer's sense of what is true and what isn't in our "post-fact" society.
The New Gallery Presents the Faculty Triennial
Next month, Austin Peay State University's The New Gallery, with support from the APSU Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts and the APSU Department of Art + Design, will present the Faculty Triennial, an exhibition celebrating the artwork of current Art + Design faculty.
This year has brought many celebrations to the Department of Art + Design. In August, the new Art + Design building opened its doors to students with new studio classrooms and new exhibition spaces. This February will mark the department's 75th anniversary. The department was formed when Austin Peay Normal School became Austin Peay State College, making it one of the oldest departments on campus.
"Visual art has shaped and expanded the minds of the Austin Peay student and surrounding community for nearly eight decades – a feat that is impossible without the research, talent and dedication of the art faculty, and the support of the University and the Center of Excellence," Michael Dickins, gallery director for The New Gallery, said. "Continuing one's art practice is essential. It is how the faculty of Art + Design further define their craftsmanship and skills that they then can pass along to the students in the classroom. The Faculty Triennial exhibition gives the students, University colleagues and the community a chance to experience recent work created by the APSU Art + Design faculty."
The list of faculty in this year's triennial include: Rusty Barwick, Kell Black, Susan Bryant, Rachel Bush, Paul Collins, Dawn Martin Dickins, Michael Dickins, McLean Fahnestock, Jessica Fife, Patrick Gosnell, Virginia Griswold, Barry Jones, Desmond Lewis, Cindy Marsh, Scott Raymond, Billy Renkl, Karen Seapker, Ken Shipley, Dr. Tamara Smithers, Dr. Jennifer Snyder, AJ Sutton, Patrick Vincent, David Walker and Donna Woodley.
The exhibit opens Nov. 6 at The New Gallery, located in the APSU Art + Design building, and runs through Dec. 6. There will be a closing reception 5-7 p.m. on Dec. 6, and that event is open to the public. As part of Clarksville's First Thursday Art Crawl, The New Gallery will be open from 5-7 p.m. on Nov. 2, with a special preview of the work. All are welcome.
Hours for The New Gallery are Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. The gallery is closed on weekends and holidays, and the gallery follows the university's academic calendar. For more information on this exhibition, which is free and open to the public, contact Dickins at email@example.com.

Department of Art + Design's Gallery Director, Michael Dickins, opens new installation at the Browsing Room Gallery in Nashville
Michael Dickins' newest sound installation, Wailing Wall, opens on Saturday, October 6, as part of Nashville's first Saturday Art Crawl, and runs through November 24, 2017. Wailing Wall is a 24-channel audio installation originally designed for The Browsing Room Gallery, located in the bottom of the Downtown Presbyterian Church in Nashville, Tennessee.
When thinking about the presumed reasoning behind both the proposed physical border
wall across the Southwestern U.S., and the metaphorical border wall of heavy restrictions
on Middle Eastern refugees; Dickins began to empathize with the tens of thousands
of people risking their lives for the safety and betterment of their families and
children. As a father of two children, he is empathetic, but often question the level
of his empathy.
Wailing Wall is an idea where faceless voices cry out from a slick, manufactured wall. It is an idea that asks the viewer to slow down, sit and listen. It is an idea that questions empathy and apathy. It is an idea of self-reflection.
Michael Dickins is an interdisciplinary artist whose work takes the form of drawing, printmaking, sound and installations that are layered, textured and derived from appropriated imagery and audio from various social media platforms. For the past several years, his work has been focused on social and political commentary.
Dickins earned an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from Goddard College and a BFA from Georgia Southern University. His work has been exhibited throughout the Southeastern U.S. as well as Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Denver, Houston, San Diego, Portland, Oregon; Augusta, Maine, Istanbul and Berlin. He has twice been a featured artist at {Re}Happening at Black Mountain College, and has received commissions from the Pittsburgh Playhouse and the Houston Metropolitan Dance Company for original sound score and projection design. Dickins currently lives and works in Clarksville, Tennessee and is the Director of Galleries at Austin Peay State University.

The New Gallery Presents How Far We Haven't Come by Michi Meko from October 2 - 22, 2017
The New Gallery, with support from The Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts
and the Department of Art + Design, is pleased to present Michi Meko: How Far We Haven't Come, to continue an exciting 2017-18 exhibition season.
At The New Gallery at Austin Peay State University, I am still thinking about space, but am shifting gears with the second exhibition of the season: Michi Meko: How Far We Haven't Come. Unlike the Jamey Grimes exhibition, this work is not a celebration of space, but an investigation of space by asking, "How do you exist in public space when public space is a threat?"
According to Dr. Anthony Morris, Associate Professor of Art History for Austin Peay State Unviversity, "Michi's work is an attempt to find a place for himself as a black man in 21st century American culture. He often uses the iconography of water, exploration, mapping, and found objects in his work to express a loss of trust, safety, and independence in a world that perceives him as a threat, a criminal, and identifies him first by his race and not his humanity."
The exhibit opens October 2 at The New Gallery, located in the Art + Design building on the campus of Austin Peay State University, and runs through October 27. There will be a reception on October 5 beginning at noon, and a gallery talk with Michi beginning at 12:30pm. Beginning at 7:30 p.m., Michi will project select films and video onto the exterior of The New Gallery as part of Clarksville's First Thursday Art Crawl. All are welcome.
Michi Meko lives in Atlanta, Georgia, and has exhibited extensively throughout the Southeastern United States. For more on Michi and his work, visit: michimeko.com.
Hours for The New Gallery are Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Closed on weekends and holidays, and follows the university's academic calendar. For more information on this exhibition, which is free and open to the public, contact Michael Dickins, Director of Galleries, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Department of Art + Design at Austin Peay State University along with the Center
of Excellence for the Creative Arts (CECA), welcomes SWOON to campus for an artist
Caledonia Curry, who exhibits her artwork under the name SWOON, is a classically trained visual artist and printmaker who has spent the last 15 years exploring the relationship between people and their built environments. Her early interventions in the urban landscape took the form of wheat pasting portraits to the walls of cities around the world, and her public practice has expanded to using art to rebuild communities and humanize today's most pressing social and environmental issues.
She co-founded Konbit Shelter in 2010, an artist's response to the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti that same year. Other community-based endeavors include collaborating on the construction of musical architecture in New Orleans, and a neighborhood revitalization project in North Braddock, PA. Alongside her place-based work, she has a studio practice of drawing, printmaking, architectural sculpture, and installations.
Curry's work has been collected and shown internationally at galleries and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Brooklyn Museum; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; and the São Paulo Museum of Art.

The New Gallery Presents Eclipse by Jamey Grimes
In Eclipse, multiple surfaces collide in a whirlpool of light and shadow. Colors change over time, dynamically shifting the viewer's interpretation of depth and form.

The exhibit opens Aug. 28 at The New Gallery and runs through Sept. 21. In correlation with the University's upcoming PeayCLIPSE festivities, special exhibition previews will occur from 4 – 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 19, and from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 21.

Terminal Presents Jeff&Gordon: Behaving Appropriately for the Situation
With the opening of our new Art + Design building on the campus of Austin Peay State University we are happy to bring <terminal> back to the physical world starting with the work of JEFF&GORDON. Jeff Foye and Gordon Winiemko have been collaborating on video, sound, and performative work since 2007. Their work, often physical and humorous, utilizes play and heightened social structures to interrogate class and culture.
Each of the four weeks of the exhibition feature a different video: Draw! – "the archetypal cinematic rendering of human interaction;" How You Play The Game – "an investigation of the culture of the 'temporarily embarrassed millionaire;" Day Job – an "8-hour long performative document of labor in the 24/7 networked age;" and Running With Scissors – "a portrait of the Souther California home in the form of a 'real estate walk-through video,' with interruptions."
JEFF&GORDON: Behaving Appropriately for the Situation, curated by Assistant Professor McLean Fahnestock, will run from August 28 – September 22 in the Art + Design building. Look for <terminal> outside of The New Gallery.
More about the artists:
Jeff Foye and Gordon Winiemko met in Southern California when the two were grad students at Cal State Long Beach and UC Irvine, respectively. The two began collaborating together in 2007. Since then, the artists have had solo shows at the UC Riverside Sweeney Art Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles, the Eastern Edge Gallery in St. John's, Newfoundland, and other venues. Together and separately they have been involved in exhibitions at such venues as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the Torrance Art Museum, and the International Symposium on Electronic Art. Their work has been covered by several media outlets. In 2016 Christopher Knight of the Los Angeles Times singled the artists' work out of a group exhibition for praise. Also in 2016, the artists were profiled by a national CBC arts program (picked up in the US by Public Radio International) for their participatory telephone project "Not at the Dinner Table."

About Eye Talk
Diehr states, "Visual storytelling is what I do with my art. I use clay, wood, and alabaster stone to create my sculptures. Literature, philosophy, the natural world and human behavior are the basis for the meaning and content in these 'stories.'" "Communication on various levels is important to me in my work. The process of sculpting with mixed media and visual problem-solving, due to the different physical qualities of each medium, is also important to my aesthetic. My goal is to have a conversation with the viewer."

I'm turning 37 on September 3rd and as I look back at a kid growing up in North East Texas – riding my bike way too fast, shooting BB guns at one another, and diving into shallow creeks to catch a snake that happened to be swimming by, one thing comes to mind – what was I thinking?
Luckily in my adult life, there has been only a few times where I look back and wonder that. For the most part, my adult life has been low-key – I grew up, I got married, I had kids, and I bought a house. That's pretty much it.
I realize none of this matters on a professional level, but being my first blog for my new company I wanted to give some background. I think you can tell from my past that I'm not a risk taker. I believe in comfort in consistency. I believe that the only ice worth walking on is melted ice. I don't take chances.
So why did I decide to work for a company that has, for so long, so silently served its customers that I had never heard of them? Why did I choose to leave the E-Discovery industry – a business that I will quickly say that I know a lot about –and one that is still thriving? That is a lot of change for someone who plays it safe.
The answer isn't complex. It's not philosophical. It's certainly not a mid-life crisis (though at almost 37, we're getting close). The answer is very simple – this company believes in and invests in its people.
Don't get me wrong – I'm not saying that others don't. What I'm saying is that from the second I answered the LinkedIn InMail from the company recruiter, I knew that there was something special about Ntrepid. I didn't know what it was but I knew it was something. And that made me curious.
So I agreed to meet with them. And they were organized. They knew exactly who would be meeting with me and when. And even better, when I hit the intercom buzzer to be buzzed up, the person at the front desk knew who I was and who I was there to meet. They had been expecting me.
As I got to know the interviewers, I learned that they had each been with the company for over 7 years and that they had gotten where they are through hard work. I interpreted that as the company looking out for and recognizing those who work hard, and I was right!
They were also engaged. Many times in an interview, the interviewer asks a question but likely cannot repeat back your answer because they weren't actually listening. These guys wanted to make sure they were making the right choice – and they genuinely cared about how I was going to help them grow.
Since starting at Ntrepid on June 19th, I've learned that every assumption I had about this company was true. They are genuine. Not just management. Every. Single. Person. They collaborate, not because it's a key term, but because they understand the power of people helping people.
This is why I love my new company and why I think those of you who I'm lucky enough to do business with here will too. They hire the right people. They treat their people right. Their people treat one another right. And because of this, they are able to create Products of Magnitude, and their customers win.
Next week, I will be releasing a blog about one of Ntrepid's Products of Magnitude: "Timestream for Corporate Law. The piece is entitled "How to build complex chronologies without the migraines". Stay tuned for that and don't forget to follow me on Twitter @oransears

Apple Computer Does It Again – With A Raft Of Annual Meeting Gaffes: How Can Such A Smart Company Be So Dumb On Ir Matters?
Let's say for starters that we LOVE Apple Computer. We bought when it was around $7…and love it more every day. We love their products too. And we love Steve Jobs – and think he is one of the smartest, savviest, most-focused and most dedicated managers in the world. And a famously successful micro-manager to boot…Usually. But golly…What ARE they thinking in the IR department?
Back in 2009 Apple made the Annual Meeting "blooper of the year" by boasting that the shareholder proposal to have a say-on-pay was soundly defeated…only to have to admit, after a web-watcher immediately smelled a rat, that they had counted the Abstain Votes as No votes (!!)…and the proposal had, in fact, passed handily.
This year, their Annual Meeting results made headlines yet again…in a New York Times article focusing on "Apple's Secrecy Vs. Governance" – which chided them for saying at the meeting that "shareholders had defeated the suc cession-planning proposal, but [Apple] did not report the vote tallies, something that is standard procedure at many big companies [and] instead slipped the results into a fil ing with the SEC the next day"… implying that the 30% vote in favor, was, in fact, big news that Apple intentionally tried to bury.
We went to the Apple website at once – and were literally taken aback by the astonishingly sparse – and incredibly balky – Investor Relations page: We found the 8-K – after much hunting around – and it did seem to us to be pretty well "buried" – especially in light of Apple's basic and otherwise wildly successful business of providing in formation technology – and all kinds of information at one's fingertips.
This little visit caused us to re-read the Apple proxy statement – and especially their recommendations on the succession-planning proposal - and on the majority voting proposal too (which got 73.6% in favor despite Apple's recommendation to vote no) and where we had told a reporter the Apple discussion struck us as "disingenuous at best." And wow! The back-story here seemed even worse:
The Central Laborers' Pension Fund proposal asked the Board to "adopt and disclose a written and detailed succession planning policy (italics ours) with five specific features. The Board's recommendation AGAINST asserted that adopting it "would give the Company's competitors an unfair advantage…publicize the Company's confidential objectives and plans…undermine the Company's efforts to recruit and retain executives… requires a report identifying the candidates being considered for CEO…[and] By naming these potential successors, Proposal 5 invites competitors to recruit high-value executives away [while] executives who have not been identified as successors may choose to voluntarily leave the Company."
Did we see any of this called for in the shareholder proposal? No. Would we really imagine that proponents expected the Board to make these kinds of detailed dis closures in the annual "report on its succession plan to shareholders"? Frankly, this strikes us as being closer to a material misstatement of the proposal, rather than merely being "disingenuous."
The Directors' recommendation against Proposal No. 6 – to "Adopt a Majority Voting Standard for Director Elections" also struck us as being badly reasoned at best…and mislead ing at worst: Noting that "Under California's statutory majority vote requirement, election of a director requires not only the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at the meeting, but also the affirmative vote of more than half of the shares requires for a quorum…which equals just over 25% of the outstanding shares" …the Directors' statement went on to say "Apply ing this standard would mean that even if there were no "Withheld" votes with respect to a director, and thus no indication of shareholder disapproval, that director would still fail to be elected if he or she did not obtain the affir mative vote of more than 25% of the outstanding shares. Apple could therefore lose its directors simply because too few shareholders cast their votes."
Hey Apple! Aren't your folks supposed to be whiz kids where mathematics – and logical thinking are concerned? Putting aside for the moment the fact that rounding up fewer than 25% of the votes to elect a director would indeed be a sign of significant shareholder disapproval…how likely is it, re ally, for this to happen…given the fact that Apple, almost certainly has more than 50% of its shares held by institutional investors – who always vote? In fact, the quorum at this year's meeting was 81.86%...So it is virtually impossible to imagine a scenario where Apple directors would get less than 25% in favor…unless investors were very seriously ticked off…which majority voting is meant to indicate to Directors!
Bottom line: Work a lot harder on being as user-friendly to your basically happy investors as you are to your customers, Apple…before we DO start to get ticked off at Directors where honestly, the woeful drafting of "their" Recommendations has served them poorly.

All of the following inspection services include a detailed report, with photos. The pricing is based on an estimated 1,000 square foot home.
Basic Warranty Inspection $250+ 1-1.5 hrs
Our basic warranty inspection centers on inspecting the warranted items, major equipment (furnace, air conditioner, etc.), ventilation appliances (measuring bath fan flows), and any reported issues by the homeowner, including cosmetic issues. We ask that the homeowner assist by marking cosmetic issues with tape/stickers before the inspection.
Full Inspection $375 ~1.5-2.5 hrs
In addition to the basic warranty inspection items, we will examine all outlets, fixtures, and appliances, including a CO test of all gas appliances and temperature test of the Furn/AC. Our attic inspection will look for signs of leaks, pests, and any other visible anomalies. We will examine the outside of the home to identify drainage and other issues which can compromise the integrity of the home. Our inspector will examine the roof, if safely accessible, as well as the overall structure of the home. This is basically a full pre-purchase inspection typically used to identify issues that help a buyer make a purchase decision.
Full Inspection with Blower-door & IR scan $500 ~2-3 hrs
In addition to the full inspection items, we will conduct a Blower Door and Infrared scan of your home to address any comfort issues you may be experiencing. The infrared scan of the home will identify cold/hot spots in the home and where the air is leaking. A blower door test will determine how tight the home is, how much conditioned air you are losing to the outside, and how much mechanical fresh air exchange the home needs. Most mechanical fresh air systems are set up improperly or have never been explained to the homeowner. We will provide you that insight as well.
Insight Property Services works extensively with builders and contractors, so we are in a unique position to understand new construction and the IL Energy Conservation Code.
A 10% discount is available to each home owner, in your development, that has Insight perform their Warranty Inspection on the same day as another homeowner.

UNITED NATIONS, New York—More than 160 ministers, parliamentarians, and representatives of regional intergovernmental organizations and other world leaders will gather in Addis Ababa for a High-Level Meeting on Maternal Health – Millennium Development Goal 5. The 26 October event, organized by the Netherlands and UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is intended to push maternal health higher on the political agenda and increase political and financial commitment for improving maternal health at the country level.
The High-Level Meeting will be followed with the 2009 International Parliamentarians' Conference on the Implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action (IPCI/ICPD). The conference will feature more than 300 legislators and ministers from about 100 nations, who will discuss strategies to speed up the achievement of the Programme of Action that countries adopted at the 1994 Cairo International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD).
The event, on 27-28 October, will mark the 15th anniversary of the ICPD that produced ambitious set of goals for improving reproductive health and rights around the world. It will also provide lawmakers with a chance to consider urgent and strategic measures to significantly reduce the gap remaining between commitment and results, in time for 2014.
The conference, hosted by the Parliament of Ethiopia, is being organized by the Forum of African and Arab Parliamentarians on Population and Development (FAAPPD) and UNFPA, along with European, Asian, and Inter-American parliamentarian groups. It will be opened by Teshome Toga Chanaka, Speaker of the House of the Peoples' Representatives of Ethiopia, and Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, UNFPA Executive Director.
Members of the press are invited to the opening sessions of both events and to the following:
26 October 2 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. : Press conference by Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebeysus, Minister of Health, Ethiopia; Bert Koenders, Minister for Development Cooperation, The Netherlands; and Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, UNFPA Executive Director.

This Triple Bunk Bed plan is a staggered design with the middle bunk offset. This allows it to fit under the common 8 foot ceiling height without compromising head room, by assuming half of the bed is for the footer and does not require as much height.
Despite the overall size of the project, it uses very simple construction methods. All cuts are right angles, and all screws go strait through flat surfaces. The biggest challenge is getting everything square, and simply getting all of the pieces organized for assembly.

You can't blame East Coast bias for this: The Pac-12 has been shut out of the Final Four for eight straight years, not appearing there since the likes of Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook suited up for UCLA.
The conference has an ideal opportunity to break that streak with Arizona, Oregon and UCLA considered capable of championship runs.
"For different reasons, all three teams are capable of making it to the Final Four," former UCLA and St. John's coach Steve Lavin said.
Lavin calls games in the regular season for FOX Sports, but after the Big East Tournament ends, he will slide over to CBS/Turner to call NCAA Tournament games alongside Ian Eagle.
Lavin sees parallels between the 1995 UCLA team for which he was an assistant, and the one that has risen up this season in Westwood after several down seasons. Both went undefeated in non-conference play, including a win over Kentucky, had coaches on the hot seat (Jim Harrick then, Steve Alford now) and, most importantly, featured an explosive of mix of freshmen and seniors.
"UCLA has the best top seven in the country, hands down," Lavin said. "There are teams that have more depth or [a] more dominant front line, but there isn't a better seven than UCLA's. There's a lot of firepower. Not only do they have [Lonzo] Ball, but [Aaron] Holiday coming off the bench."
Lavin, though, has similar concerns with UCLA and Oregon: depth. There is no such issue with Arizona, which has transformed into the most dangerous team out West after being riddled with injuries early in the season.
"Arizona has the most depth of the group. Sean Miller has been to Elite Eights and this group has been solid, and his front line goes four or five deep with Lauri Markkanen, Dusan Ristic, Chance Comanche, Keanu Pinder," said Lavin, who parted ways with the Red Storm two seasons ago.
While all three teams are in the national title conversation, it's possible none lands a No. 1 seed when the brackets are announced Sunday. That honor could belong to Gonzaga, which rolled to another West Coast Conference championship this week and has only one blemish — against BYU — on the season.
But a conference season spent beating up on mediocre teams, aside from Saint Mary's, may not have been the best preparation for the field of 68.
"I love [Przemek] Karnowski, he's one of those hub-of-the-wheel kind of guys," Lavin said. "They can throw it to him, and he anchors them offensively. He can create offense through his catches because he either scores off his catches or kicks it out off the doubles to the perimeter for open shots.
"My concern is that they are winning by 25 points a game, and that's not the ideal adversity training for the NCAA Tournament when you're winning by that much. There's nothing you can do about it. It's not as if you want your kids to not play well. But I think that's hurt them a few times over the years."

In love the poetess is…
The beautiful lady;
With ocean's soul…
In a battle she is;
Her own self!
Those nummite eyes when she raises
it seems
As if, the turmoiled sea; rises
in waves
High and Higher…
and glances into the intrications
of her star!
The star;
in the distant sky,
The star, that her eyes
can locate
On the night's poetic canvas;
In midst of million others!
There is that one;
the distant star…
If she be Sea;
he the Star,
He's skie's
She earthly…
What is the union?
Unison what be?

Insurance – The Basics.
The Basics
As a distress purchase and legal "must" compulsory insurance has the capacity to send blood pressures sky high. But apart from trying to get the best premium, what should we be looking for?
What is Insurance?
No more than a legally binding contract between you the insurance company. In return for your hard earned cash (the "premium") the insurer agrees to indemnify you in certain prescribed circumstances set out precisely in the contract.
Insurance and Assurance Distinguished
You will often hear the two words used interchangeably. However, to be technically accurate, "assurance" should be reserved for life cover where the event (death) is certain to happen sometime. In the context of road traffic matters, you are insuring yourself in the event of IF it happens.
General Types of Insurance.
You can insure pretty well anything -at a price! But most people feel the need to insure against lifes main slings and arrows-house, contents and motor. Of course, only the last is compulsory. The economies of scale are employed. By everyone paying premiums and pooling risks, people can afford to pass the buck to the insurers in the event of disaster striking-rather than having to pay out oneself.
Basic Motor Insurance
We are legally obliged to have at least what is known as basic road traffic act cover. This means that in the event of a claim against you by a third party then there is a policy in force to pick up the pieces. Usually out of for you. However, what is NOT covered is your ability to claim for damage to your own bike. For this you need comprehensive cover. Of course, separately you may have a claim against a person at fault.
Comprehensive Cover
As may be expected this is generally (although not invariably) the most expensive form of cover. The contract indemnifies you against compulsory third party claims + damage to your own vehicle. But NOT personal injury to yourself damage to your clothing or accessories (although this is usually available as an extra premium). To keep premiums down, you can agree to an "excess".
The Excess
The idea here is that in return for a slightly smaller premium, you agree to pay say the first £100, £250 or £500 of any claim.
Failure to Insure
Regarded as a serious matter, serious penalties are incurred (see Legal Section of site).
Other Types of Cover for Motorists-General
As well as your basic road traffic act cover, you will invariably be offered other types of insurance at the same time. Typically legal costs, clothes and accesories together with personal injury, redundancy, wages and gap. Whilst not legally compulsory,they are often worth considering provided the premiums are reasonable. However the deal is packaged, remember that these "add ons" are generally separate contracts with their own terms and conditions.
Legal Costs Insurance
More is said of this type of contract elsewhere (particularly in the context of accidents). Indeed we have our own (fairly strong) views on certain aspects of this type of insurance. But at least it is usually cheap and, in a limited number of cases, can be useful in covering you against legal costs whether you are claiming or defending.
This is covered in a separate fact sheet but is, in fact, a form of insurance.
Personal Accident Insurance
Irrespective of whether you have a claim for compensation against a person at fault, the typical scenario here is that you can be covered for the loss of an eye or limb etc. If you are also making a claim for compensation, there may be a clause against double compensation.
Redundancy : Wage Loss : Mortgage Payments & other debts
An accident may have repercussions far beyond being injured. If, as most people, your budget is fully stretched, the disaster may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back if you are not able to work. It is therefore well worthwhile considering these other types of cover -subject to reasonableness and proportionality in respect of premium levels.
Insuring Clothing : luggage : accessories.
People wrongly assume that this is covered with their normal policy.
Gap Insurance
Not a familiar term, this covers the situation where you do not get sufficient back by way of compensation to cover your losses. Thus if you bike is subject to a consumer credit agreement, the outstanding amount remains whatever you may be paid out for the bike -hence the possibility of plugging the gap.
Insurance Underwriters & Brokers Distinguished
These days with the advent of large specialised brokers, the distinction with the actual underwriters has become rather blurred. People often assume that dealing with the broker means that they cover. That of course is not correct since the risk is taken by the underwriting insurer who may itself re insure the risk to spread it. The relationship between insurer and broker is rather a nebulous one. On the one hand the broker owes a duty of care to you as consumer but at the same time they are acting as agent for insurer. As such, if a conflict of interest arises, then they are hardly likely to bite off the larger hand that feeds them!
The Small Print
As boring as it may seem, understanding the terms and condition of your insurance is vital. Helpfully you are usually provided with a document rejoicing in a variety of names such as Key Facts/ Essentials etc. At the end of the day, however, it is the actual terms and conditions of the contract that count. Probably the most important things to consider are:-
- what exactly am I insured for &, just as importantly, what am I not insured for?
- will I have any "excess" to pay?

Father's Day is a holiday for offspring to honor their father. Yard tools or a "World's Greatest Dad" t-shirt may fulfill the obligation of gift giving from children to father. As a young boy, the gifts I presented to dad on father's day were no different. Except instead of tools, I aimed at the leisure times of dad's life. A new fishing rod or the latest lure would be placed in dad's lap. The oddly taped package was accepted by dad with a big smile and a, "Oh boy. What do we have here?"
After the gift was opened, I heard the question I had hoped for. "Well, we might as well go try this thing out, shouldn't we?" asked dad. Before he could change his mind, I would announce to the family that dad wanted to go fishing. It was f
Father's day, but who actually gave the gift on that holiday? Dad received the store bought gift, but with dad, he was the one who offered the greatest gift.
As a father, the greatest assets in my life are my children. That was the same for my father. Those days on the water with dad find their way into many of my articles, obviously those times made a lasting impression on me as a child. The same is true for my siblings who share their "outdoor excursions with dad" memories at family gatherings. Father's Day was a big deal in our family, an opportunity to spend time with dad in his preferred surroundings.
Fishing is a growing sport for several reasons. One reason is the media is reminding and informing the public of the benefits fishing offers all ages. Dad taught his kids not only how to fish, but to respect our natural surroundings. If we were walking a lake shore and discovered trash left behind from a careless scoundrel, we would pick it up and take it with us. Little things like that were lessons that dad thrived on. Having his kids away from the chaos of everyday life and to have our full attention, dad took advantage of the opportunity to share his knowledge and respect for the great outdoors.
During a recent presentation I performed at a junior high school on the subject of the wild turkey, I noticed impatient reactions from the students wanting to ask questions regarding wildlife and its survival. What I taught the kids that day was accepted better and will be retained longer than if I would have simply passed out a booklet and told them to read it. Times when a young person is focused on the lesson at hand, the information must be entertaining and educational for the lesson to be successful and long-term. That's exactly what dad did during our outdoor adventures. Not only did we kids take advantage of Father's Day to be with dad, dad took advantage of the special day to teach.
The lessons of respecting nature, other outdoors enthusiasts and wildlife, are a few lessons that I now transfer to my own kids. I have some of those lures and rods that I gave dad years ago, but the most prized gifts are the ones that dad gave to me on the day that was intended for him. Many of the expeditions that I go on today include flashbacks to my youth and the lessons dad taught. This Father's Day I plan to take my kids fishing. If the fish are biting, that's great, if not that's ok also. I will have the chance to talk with the kids about important matters and share stories about their grandpa they never met. I will be carrying on a family tradition, sharing a gift handed down from dad that is more important to this father than any lawn rake or silly t-shirt.
