The Boobs installation by artist Allegra Pacheco tries to rescue a current position of feminism which has fallen into empty clichés, lost the value and the real intention of this movement. Tits and sex in general are a symbol often associated with the promiscuous, the porn, or ínfamo, or otherwise linked to the maternal-its antithesis. It tries to create a space between the two polarities, where these symbols retake a new reading linked to the playful, feminine and exploratory. Mainly trying to highlight a natural quality both animal and human, free of pre established stigmas or labels.
Much of the production of the work has been done thanks to the collaboration of women, particularly low-income immigrants, Carpio residents who work with the Costa Rican Humanitarian Foundation of Gail Nystrom. In the span of a month and a half, these women together with the artist, has produced the cooked breasts that form much of the installation. These organizations are remunerated with 100% of the proceeds from sales of this first exhibition, in thanks for their cooperation and to help them grow both professionally, as their needs and those of their families. The intention of the artist is to integrate women of various ages, education levels, social classes, nationalities and professions to integrate well in the art world.

Kershaw maintains his man-on-a-mission mode
DENVER -- The thunder and lightning were severe enough that the fans sitting in the open upper deck of Coors Field were ordered to find cover in the bottom of the fifth inning on Sunday afternoon.
Dodgers outfielders Scott Van Slyke and Matt Kemp headed for the safety of the visiting dugout, only to be sent back to their positions by the umpires.
DENVER -- The thunder and lightning were severe enough that the fans sitting in the open upper deck of Coors Field were ordered to find cover in the bottom of the fifth inning on Sunday afternoon.
Dodgers outfielders Scott Van Slyke and Matt Kemp headed for the safety of the visiting dugout, only to be sent back to their positions by the umpires.
Clayton Kershaw stood on the mound. He never flinched. His focus wasn't on the constant rain.
Kershaw had a job to do. It was his day to pitch. The only thing on his mind was the next Rockies hitter he was going to face.
"He is on a mission on the day he pitches," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. "He is going full speed ahead."
And more often than not, the mission is accomplished.
Sunday afternoon, Kershaw was able to ignore the elements enough to earn a 6-1 victory in a game called in the bottom of the sixth inning. He gave up three hits -- two singles and a Troy Tulowitzki home run leading off the fourth -- the lone blemishes in a nine-strikeout, walk-free performance.
"I talked to Jamey [Wright] and the rain is almost a benefit [at Coors Field]," Kershaw said in reference to his winter-workout partner, current teammate and former No. 1 Draft pick of the Rockies. "It adds humidity. Jamie made a good point. When [Hideo] Nomo threw his no-hitter here [Sept. 17, 1996, with the Dodgers], there was a rain delay and the game didn't start until 9 p.m."
It's not like Kershaw needs any advantages. He's only 26, but he already has established himself among the elite.
Kershaw's 2.62 career ERA is the lowest since 1920 for any pitcher with at least 1,000 innings pitched and 100 starts made, and he is followed on the list by Hall of Famers Whitey Ford (2.75), Sandy Koufax (2.76), Spud Chandler (2.84) and Jim Palmer (2.86).
Kershaw has already been a three-time All-Star, a two-time National League Cy Young Award winner, and only the fourth pitcher to start four consecutive Opening Days for the Dodgers.
"With the teams I have played on, coached and managed, I don't think there's been anyone like him," said Mattingly. "There have been some good guys like [Ron Guidry] and [Mike] Mussina, but they were not quite the same as Clayton.
"He still has a ways to go. He's still early in his career. But he is a guy that is on a mission day in and day out."
The high regard with which Kershaw is held is as obvious as the seven-year, $215 million contract extension he signed during the offseason. It's the biggest deal ever given a pitcher, and the annual average value of $30.7 million is the largest ever received by any player.
It's provided nice financial security for Kershaw. It has not changed Kershaw's method of operation, however.
"The biggest insult anybody can say is, 'You've changed,' " said Kershaw. "I want to be the same guy, no matter what. I take pride in that."
But the accomplishments? The accolades? The money?
"It's still baseball," Kershaw said. "I'm still pitching every fifth day. There are definitely expectations. Anybody making that much money is going to have pressure on him, but I get nervous every time I pitch, no matter what I make.
"It's not about making money when you are pitching in a game. It's about competing. It's about winning."
And just how serious Kershaw takes that day he pitches is apparent by his mood. He has a serious game face. The conversations are minimal when Kershaw gets to the ballpark.
"You don't mess with him," said Mattingly. "He's focused. He has a job to do and he wants to do it. He knows what's going on. A couple games ago, the catcher was going out [to the mound] buying some time, and the bullpen was busy. He was angry out there. He wants to be there at the end."
Kershaw's focus was apparent during Sunday's rain delay. Fifteen minutes after being pulled from the field, he was in the batting cage, throwing off the mound, staying loose in case play resumed. After an hour, though, Kershaw conceded that his day was over, rain or shine.
"When it is your day to pitch, you take it seriously," said Kershaw. "I enjoy competing. The other days, I try to be the best teammate I can. But the fifth day, you have to be a little bit selfish. It's your day to contribute to the team."
It is part of what makes Kershaw so special.
"The other days, he's in the dugout cheering his teammates, riding the umps," said Mattingly.
Kershaw is just one of the guys on those four days. On the fifth day, however, he's a little more special than anybody else in the game.

How to Make a Friendship Bracelet
Homemade friendship bracelets are inexpensive Christmas gifts that children can make and give. Colorful friendship bracelets are made by tying patterns of knots in colorful thread. They are safe to wear for kids of all ages, and are a great way to introduce your kids to weaving, one of the earliest forms of jewelry making.
To make a basic, diagonally striped friendship bracelet, gather your materials and follow the steps:
Notebook or clipboard (use any flat surface that will help you keep your bracelet straight and flat)
3 strands of different-colored embroidery floss (green, pink, and white)
Masking tape (use this to tape your bracelet to your notebook or clipboard while you're tying knots)
Match up your strands of embroidery floss. Measure out the proper length for your embroidery floss.
To make sure your bracelet is long enough, measure from the tip of your fingers to your shoulder, and then double it. If you're making the bracelet for a child, measure from his finger to shoulder. This process should give you enough thread to tie all the knots for a bracelet long enough to go around his wrist.
Fold the measured floss strand in half exactly in the middle.
With the fold in tact, form a loop in the center of the threads. Tie an overhand knot at the bottom of the loop, leaving the loop approximately 1 inch long.Tie an overhand knot.
Attach the loop under the clip on the clipboard or tape it to a notebook.
Separate the threads in an alternating color pattern. The order you separate them into will be the order the stripes form in your bracelet.Begin tying knots.
Begin tying figure-four knots like the one step b above. Using your first string, tie a knot around each of the remaining 5 strings in order. Your first string is now at the end of the 6 strings.
Repeat Step 5 with each of the remaining 5 strings. You should be able to see the pattern emerging at this point.
If your bracelet starts to twist as you tie knots, apply tape down the length of the bracelet to keep it flat.
Continue to tie knots until you're left with a couple of inches of unknotted thread.
Wrap your bracelet around your wrist. Have someone tie off your bracelet by separating your 6 strands. Insert half the strands through your loop. Tie the two groups of strands together into a square knot.

I ODd on my perfume, Help!
Theres no magic potion that will undo the damage. Your best bet is to dilute whats already there by spritzing on water from a spray bottle. Seriously saturated? Good ole soap and water on a washcloth will remove the excess. Next time, spray perfume into the air and walk into it for subtle overall coverage. Or use a roll-on formulaits easier to control if youre the trigger-happy type.

Home sales are dropping, but not for people in every profession - some are doing better even as prices rise.
According to Reuters, U.S. home sales dropped 7 percent - but not for everybody: "Sales of new U.S. single-family homes fell more than expected in December, but lean inventories and steady price gains suggested sufficient strength in the housing market to support the economy." Taken overall, home prices grew during 2013, according to the Associated Press. Those gains were at the beginning of the year. Over the last 12 months, prices are up 13.7 percent. So who is buying these homes, driving up prices and paying those prices? Quentin Fottrell at MarketWatch says there is a shift in home ownership. "In an analysis of over 70 different professions before and after the recession (2007 to 2009, vs. 2010 to 2012), home ownership among construction workers rose 1 percentage point to 55.4 percent - the highest growth of any profession - and increased 0.7 percentage points to 65.4 percent among carpenters during the same period, according to real-estate website Trulia, which mined U.S. Census data for the statistics," Fottrell says. Susan M. Wachter, a professor at Wharton University of Pennsylvania, told MarketWatch: "The only sectors that saw growth are groups that have access to bargains and distressed housing and have the expertise to fix them up." On the other hand, the surge among construction workers and the like is ironic, Don Frommeyer told MarketWatch, because they were the hardest hit in the downturn. All the other professions, however, are down in home ownership. The worst, according to MarketWatch, were hairdressers who dropped 5.8 points to 66.3 percent home ownership. But with U.S. consumer confidence on the rise, according to a Reuters article, things may "pick up some momentum in the months ahead," says Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators at The Conference Board, an industry group.

Renault's Koleos doesn't quite know what it is. This second-generation SUV from the French giant is also the second one built largely around the Nissan X-Trail, taking much of its mechanicals.

Pretty nice-looking DSLR, right? But don't you dare try to snap a picture with it. Because while this is an exact 1:1 replica on the outside, its guts are designed for what you hear, not what you see.
The clever little 1:1 DSLR Camera USB Speaker from Gadget4all supports audio files from your PC, SD card or USB stick. I certainly can't vouch for how it sounds, but like most novelty items I'm guessing you're not paying for the craftsmanship. If you've got $83 handy and love a good "this thing looks like that thing," though, you can't do much better than a speaker with a viewfinder. [Gadget4all via GadgetSin via ChipChick]

Workers to walk for National Employee Health and Fitness Day
A healthy workforce is essential to a strong economy
The National Association for Health and Fitness reports that regular physical activity makes workers more productive, reduces illness, injuries and absenteeism and lowers health care costs. Workers who are physically active have increased stamina, lower stress levels, improved physical fitness and a greater sense of well-being.
To highlight the importance of a healthy work force, hundreds of workers in Jefferson City are participating in lunch-time walks on May 19. The four walks through different parts of the capital were designed by health officials as part of National Employee Health and Fitness Day. The theme for this year's event is, "It's time to feel good."
"Making healthy lifestyle choices can improve the way you feel, and that can have a positive impact on every area of your life, including your work," said Margaret Donnelly, director of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. "Healthy employees are essential to a healthy economy."
Physical activity also helps reduce chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and high blood pressure.
The state health department has established four routes for the walk in Jefferson City, but workers throughout Missouri are encouraged to walk wherever they can. The organized routes are:
- Route 1 – Begins near the junction of West Edgewood and Wildwood streets and follows the Greenway.
- Route 2 – Begins near the Department of Natural Resources office building at 1730 East Elm Street.
- Route 3 – Begins in the parking lot of the Department of Natural Resources Lewis and Clark Building at 1101 Riverside Drive.
- Route 4 – Begins in the parking lot at the Missouri State Public Health Lab at 101 North Chestnut Street.
Signs will direct walkers along the routes.
Workers in downtown Jefferson City can walk the "downtown fitness mile," a designated walking route in the city's central business district.
National Employee Health and Fitness Day is sponsored annually by the National Association for Health and Fitness on the third Wednesday in May. Last year more than 600 employees in Jefferson City participated in the event.
Information about this year's walk, including maps of the walking routes and the downtown fitness mile, can be found at www.dhss.mo.gov/nehfd/.

News tagged with molecular medicine
Molecular medicine
Molecular medicine is a broad field, where physical, chemical, biological and medical techniques are used to describe molecular structures and mechanisms, identify fundamental molecular and genetic errors of disease, and to develop molecular interventions to correct them. The molecular medicine perspective emphasizes cellular and molecular phenomena and interventions rather than the previous conceptual and observational focus on patients and their organs.
In November, 1949, with the seminal paper, "Sickle Cell Anemia, a Molecular Disease", in Science magazine, Linus Pauling, Harvey Itano and their collaborators laid the groundwork for establishing the field of molecular medicine. In 1956, Roger J. Williams wrote Biochemical Individuality, a prescient book about genetics, prevention and treatment of disease on a molecular basis, and nutrition which is now variously referred to as individualized medicine and orthomolecular medicine. Another paper in Science by Pauling in 1968, introduced and defined this view of molecular medicine that focuses on natural and nutritional substances used for treatment and prevention.
Published research and progress was slow until the 1970s' "biological revolution" that introduced many new techniques and commercial applications.
Molecular medicine is a new scientific discipline in European universities. Combining contemporary medical studies with the field of biochemistry, it offers a bridge between the two subjects. At present only a handful of universities offer the course to undergraduates. With a degree in this discipline the graduate is able to pursue a career in medical sciences, scientific research, laboratory work and postgraduate medical degrees.

by Somtow Sucharitkul
It's been called the most influential work in the history of music. I would like to give you some of the reasons. The Siam Sinfonietta, our youth orchestra, is opening its Sixth Season with this symphony. I hope everyone who reads this will come. It's a free concert, so you have nothing to lose.
There are many bigger works than the Eroica. Beethoven himself also wrote the monumental Ninth, and if you're talking monumental there's always Mahler 8. In an earlier era, the Bach B minor mass is iconic, too. But the Eroica draws a line in the sand not just for music, but for all western art.
Before the Eroica Symphony, artists were servants whose worked served to glorify a patron. It could be a King, a rich banker like the Medici family, or even God himself, but the point is that what artists did was attached to something, was an adjunct, a decoration. The Eroica Symphony does not revolve around its patron — or even around Napoleon, who originally inspired it. It is the first music to be an end in itself, the first work of art to herald a new kind of hierarchy in which the artist, not the lord of the manor, is at the center of the universe.
The first performance of the Eroica was in a nobleman's house. Its audience was baffled and bewildered. Some said that a piece this long, this difficult, and this complicated couldn't possibly really be music. The first movement alone was as long as many symphonies of its time, and it is relentless, battering the senses with wave upon wave of vehement passion. The second movement is a gutwrenching funeral march in which you can hear the germ of every funeral march in every Mahler symphony … and of Siegfried's funeral march … and of every funeral march that had not yet been composed in 1804. The word scherzo means a joke, but the third movement isn't that funny — it's a careening roller coaster ride interrupted by a hunting scene. And the Finale — in those days a Finale was supposed to bring a symphony to a close with something light and frothy, but instead we have a huge set of variations that runs an entire gamut of emotion.
Teaching the Eroica Symphony to a bunch of 12-24 year olds has been a rollercoaster as well, especially here in Thailand where the stylistic techniques of the classical period are not often taught. We are getting there — this is the first concert of the season with many new faces in the orchestra, some of whom probably didn't quite know what they were getting into when they signed up for this very intense ensemble. I hope you will hear a Beethoven you don't hear too often in this country. We will see — there is still some rehearsal time left.
I'd like to close by pointing out the special relevance of this work to this exact and place. You see, culturally, we are at a similar point to where Beethoven stood in Europe in 1804. The arts in Thailand are emerging from a perception that they are decorative, that they exist to enhance the barami of a patron, that art is something that flows downward from a court or a cultural ministry — to a whole new way of looking at art — to the idea that art is supposed to say important things, to teach us who we are. In a sense, we are looking for our own Eroica Symphony, for a work that will definitively revolutionize our perception of what art is.
And so we come to the figure of Napoleon, who plays such an important role in this work. It is said that Beethoven was inspired by Napoleon, the heroic liberator, to compose this work, and that when he learned that Napoleon had crowned himself emperor, he tore up the dedication page, shouting "So he too is mortal after all."
Haven't many of us in Thailand recently had a similar experience? No, I am not really saying that Thaksin is Napoleon. Just pointing out that we've all felt what Beethoven felt, with one idolized person or another — someone we thought might save the universe turning out to be "mortal after all."
It may just be that the Eroica Symphony is a more accurate mirror of our world here than of twenty-first century Europe.

Entertaining: Southern Brunch, with Recipes
A charming brunch is an invitation to have a good time

Recipes for this story
Sweet Lucy Mint Tea
Fresh Blueberry Soup
Chèvre and Tomato Strata
Roasted Beet and Watermelon Salad with Chèvre

Biscuits with Ham and Peach Marmalade
Chèvre Ice Cream
Pink and White Shortbread Cookies
There's one thing about Southern food: It's an invitation to have a good time. The welcome doubles in the very deft hands of two charming hostesses--best friends, successful businesswomen, and party givers extraordinaire Tasia Malakasis and Beverly Farrington.
Beverly's lovely home in Huntsville, Alabama, full of the Southern elegance on which she has built Accents of the South, her 30-year-old design business, often serves as the stage where hostess duties are shared. Saturated accent colors of saffron, tangerine, and watermelon (note the food connection) draw in the sun and send it splashing over soft backgrounds of buttery yellow. Open, airy spaces invite mingling inside and out on a lush terrace and lawn.
Tasia, owner of Belle Chèvre, an award-winning Alabama-based goat cheese creamery, met Beverly at a few social gatherings. The two got to know each other well when they worked on Tasia's country house. Major life changes drew them even closer together.
"Our friendship was meant to be," Beverly says. "We relied on our strengths to help each other find our individual selves again."
"Beverly is my biggest champion," Tasia adds. "She tells me the truth when I need to hear it. Also, Beverly is simply fun to be around. She throws a great party, and she is always elegant, sometimes in an old-fashioned way, but that is her Southern charm!"
"No, we throw a great party," Beverly laughs.
Invitations to those parties are coveted by friends. No wonder--the details are impeccable and the setting gracious. The food is classically Southern with a modern edge. For two busy professionals, being in the kitchen is key time together. "It's a grand old Southern tradition--two women in the kitchen," Tasia says. "We talk, cook, and solve problems. We have a dance--we know exactly what the other needs, whether it's laughter or salt."
A summer Sunday brunch shows off their entertaining style--sophisticated yet approachable, with amusing surprises. While both women are accomplished cooks ("Tasia is my spiritual food guru," Beverly says), Beverly usually takes the lead in creating the mood.
This setting effortlessly combines formal elements with casual style. Vintage and heirloom Chinese export Rose Medallion plates mix with 1937 Duke of Windsor flatware and heritage knives with mother-of-pearl handles. Immaculately pressed linen napkins are folded simply, without fuss. Down the center of the table, smalltopiaries in white cachepots balance carefully arranged flowers in tin garden containers. Dining chairs with hand-painted silk upholstery move outdoors to gather around the table.
Two long-standing Huntsville traditions welcome guests: a garland of Jackson vine dotted with lemons to frame the front door and a refreshing minty sweet tea cocktail (made with apricot- and orange-laced Sweet Lucy bourbon liqueur from Prichard's, a local boutique distillery). A charcuterie plate with duck and venison sausages, olives, and a selection of Belle Chèvre cheeses, including one wrapped in brined grape leaves, curbs Sunday morning hunger pangs.
As Tasia puts the last touches on the Chèvre and Tomato Strata that anchors the brunch, Beverly, who has a passion for floral design, adds a final touch to the enormous floral "chandelier" she created to crown the buffet table in the dining room.
The strata, golden and puffy and topped with ruffled heirloom tomatoes, joins peppery Collard Greens with Garlic and Bacon. Roasted Beet and Watermelon Salad with a crumble of chèvre complements the accent colors of the room (no accident there!), impressing guests with its combination of earthy, sweet, and salty flavors. An oversized glass compote holds freshly baked biscuits sprinkled with sea salt and stuffed with country ham and peach marmalade. Chilled Blueberry Soup spiced with cardamom and cinnamon is served in small crystal wineglasses.
Beverly presses into service a punch bowl filled with ice to keep Tasia's creamy, tangy, almost custard-like Chèvre Ice Cream chilled. Pretty-in-pink shortbread cookies are served alongside.
Brunch slips away into the afternoon. Later, as dishes are dried and glassware stored away, a perfect pair of friends look back at their seemingly effortless party. "She is beautiful and talented," says one. "She is full of grace and Southern charm," says the other.

Menu & Shopping List
Tasia Malakasis and Beverly Farrington's menu for Sunday Brunch shows the best of Southern food: inviting, simple, traditional in spirit, and contemporary in flavor. (Wait till you try the combination of roasted beets and watermelon!)
Much of this menu can be accomplished the day before the party:
- Make the ice cream and cookies ahead.
- Make the soup ahead; chill in refrigerator.
- Roast the beets and cube the watermelon the day before (pour the accumulated juices from the watermelon back over the cubed fruit before serving).
- Chop the onion and make the bacon for the collard greens ahead.
- Prepare the strata so it sits overnight, then pop it in the oven in the morning.

CHESTERTOWN, Md. – Grace Saliba handed out four assists and scored a goal to pace No. 9 Franklin & Marshall to a 12-5 victory over Washington College in Centennial Conference (CC) women's lacrosse action Saturday afternoon. The Diplomats improved to 6-2, 2-0 CC while the Shorewomen took their first loss of the year and fell to 7-1, 0-1 CC.
Washington lit the scoreboard first 2:35 into the game, but the lead was short lived as the Diplomats reeled off six straight to go up for good, 6-1, with 8:25 left to the break. Saliba found Casey Madden to start things off and netted one her own at 16:03 before Mary Mitchell tallied back-to-back scores to make it 4-1. Lauren Selawski picked up a pair off feeds from Maggie Mae Shields and Saliba to finish the run.
Emily Hubley put one through for Washington and the Diplomats finished the half strong with two scores in the final 1:24 of action. Selawski found Brittney Jorgenson at 1:24 and Emily Everdell buried a pass from Saliba to give F&M an 8-2 halftime lead.
The teams traded goals to start the second stanza with Everdell scoring for the Diplomats and Jorgenson picked up two straight scores to put F&M up 11-3 with 8:14 left to play. Washington answered with two over a three minute span to come within six, 11-5, but Saliba found Ali Kelly with 1:24 left to play to finish off the scoring.
Caroline Krohn came away with five draws and Shields had a team-high four groundballs.
Kelsey Hoffman had nine saves and went to 6-2 on the year while Stephanie Seibert took the loss with 14 stops.
F&M outshot Washington 33-16, caused 21 turnovers and went 22-for-25 on clears.
The Diplomats have a busy week ahead of them with three home games on the slate. F&M takes on Bryn Mawr on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. and faces No. 7 TCNJ on Friday at 4:00 p.m. before finishing off the week with a 1:00 p.m. contest against McDaniel on Saturday.

Just three days after TV's longest running late-night talk-show host David Letterman announced his retirement, his onetime rival Jay Leno has broken his silence regarding the 66 year old's departure.
"Oh well you know, he and I [are] gonna do "The Sunshine Boys" on Broadway, so we're very excited about that," he joked to "Extra."
The rivalry between Leno and Letterman began in the early '90s, when the former was chosen ahead of the latter to replace Johnny Carson on NBC's "Tonight Show" after the comedian retired in 1992. Their public feud only escalated when Letterman moved to CBS, igniting a ratings battle that lasted for over two decades.
But the pair finally buried their beef in 2010, when they appeared in a Super Bowl commercial alongside Oprah Winfrey, who also had a longstanding feud with Letterman.
NEWS: Stars react to Letterman's retirement on Twitter
Leno later said on his show that the duo had finally put aside their differences -- a fact which Letterman confirmed on Howard Stern's radio show in November.
As for who Leno believes should fill Letterman's shoes? "I don't know a lot of good people out there," he said.
Despite leaving the "Tonight Show" in February, Leno doesn't see himself as a potential Letterman replacement. When asked if he would ever "fill in" for his former frenemy, the 63-year-old celeb replied, "There's nothing to fill in."
Letterman announced his retirement last week during Thursday night's taping of the "Late Show." The television host's final show will air in 2015.

"The man who owns this network, Leslie Moonves, he and I have had a relationship for years and years and years, and we have had this conversation in the past, and we agreed that we would work together on this circumstance and the timing of this circumstance. And I phoned him just before the program, and I said 'Leslie, it's been great, you've been great, and the network has been great, but I'm retiring,'" Letterman said. "I just want to reiterate my thanks for the support from the network, all of the people who have worked here, all of the people in the theater, all the people on the staff, everybody at home, thank you very much. What this means now, is that Paul [Shaffer] and I can be married."
After the announcement, the audience treated the host to a standing ovation--and fans aren't the only ones saluting the celeb.
"The Simpsons" also paid tribute to Letterman in a new video clip which shows the famous animated family rushing to Letterman's studio for an interview, only to be shunned for their tardiness.
In a nod to the comedian's influence on the hit Fox series, the video ends with a message which reads, "We'll miss you, Dave."
So will we! And we'd love to see Leno as Letterman's final guest.

Neil Gaiman addresses the Philadelphia University of the Arts graduating class of 2012:
The things I did because I was excited and wanted to see them exist in reality have never let me down and I have never regretted the time I have spent on any of them.
I hope you'll make mistakes. If you make mistakes it means that you're out there doing something. And the mistakes in themselves can be very useful.
Make good art. Do what only you can do best. Make good art. Make it on the bad days, make it on the good days, too.
Make your art. Do the stuff that only you can do.
It's easy to get work. But people who KEEP work in a freelance world – and more and more it is freelance – it's because their work is good and because they're easy to get along with and because they deliver the work on time. And you don't even need all three. Two out of three is fine. People will tolerate how unpleasant you are if your work is good and you deliver on time. People will forgive the lateness of the work if it's good and they like you, and you don't have to be as good as everyone else if you're on time and it's always a pleasure to hear from you.
This is really great. You should enjoy it.
So many good gems in there.
… with some good comments in there about changes underway in distribution channels.

St. Louis, Mo., Dec 6, 2013 / 04:21 pm ().- Catholic theologian and professor Father Edward T. Oakes, S.J. died in St. Louis Dec. 6, prompting his colleagues to remember his work in Christology, his wit, and his lasting effect on students.
"Fr. Oakes was a unique scholar, largely because of his Jesuit background in Classics, where he was able to really do theology within the full richness and the full texture of the Western intellectual tradition," Fr. Thomas Baima, vice-rector for academic affairs at Mundelein Seminary, told CNA Dec. 6.
"He was a very pleasant and gregarious personality. A little bit quirky, as scholars often are," the vice-rector continued. "I always thought him delightful. He had a great wit and was very interested in current events."
Fr. Oakes, who was elected president of the Academy of Catholic Theology in 2013, had taught at Mundelein Seminary near Chicago from 2002 until October 2013, when he entered hospice care at Jesuit Hall in St. Louis.
He died of complications of pancreatic cancer, the Jesuits' Missouri Province said Dec. 6. The Kansas City, Mo. native was 65-years-old.
Fr. Baima said Fr. Oakes was best known for the "extraordinary amount of work" he did on the Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, one of the most influential Catholic theologians of the 20th century who is widely considered to be an influence on the thought of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI.
Fr. Oakes was involved in the ecumenical group Evangelicals and Catholics Together and was a major contributor to to the ecumenical journal "First Things."
He joined the Society of Jesus in 1966 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1979. He taught at New York University and Regis University in Denver. He had served as a scholar in residence at Cambridge University and taught English, theater and drama at St. Louis University High School.
He held a doctorate in theology from Union Theological Seminary, a bachelor's and master's degree in philosophy from St. Louis University and a master of divinity in scripture from Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley.
His books include "Pattern of Redemption: The Theology of Hans Urs von Balthasar" and "Infinity Dwindled to Infancy: A Catholic and Evangelical Christology."
Before his death he was working on a project involving the theological debate about grace and nature, Fr. Baima said.
The Academy of Catholic Theology remembered Fr. Oakes as "a deeply cultured man" who "enlivened everything of which he was a part by his penetrating intelligence and warm, friendly spirit."
The Missouri Province of the Society of Jesus said in a statement that Fr. Oakes was "a joyful man" who "loved studies and the intellectual life."
Fr. Baima also remembered the priest's dedication as a teacher. He recalled that one of the last public events Fr. Oakes attended at Mundelein Seminary was an Oct. 5 celebration of his book "Infinity Dwindled to Infancy."
"A number of his former students, including doctoral students, came to the event," the seminary vice-rector said. "We were particularly touched by the long-term affection that they maintained for all he had done for them."
"He was a teacher who was completely there for his students. He was 'all on' when it came to being a teacher," Fr. Baima said.
The Academy of Catholic Theology asked for prayers for the soul of Fr. Oakes, adding "to say that Father Oakes will be sorely missed is a profound understatement."
Fr. Oakes' funeral Mass will be Dec. 10 at St. Francis Xavier College Church at St. Louis University, the Jesuits' Missouri Province reports. On Dec. 11 he will be interred at Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis.

PRINCETON, N.J. – Junior Amanda Deller (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen) and freshman Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) each picked up another top-10 finish as the UMBC track and field teams competed at the regional ECAC and IC4A Championships held at Princeton this weekend.
For Deller, who won the America East shot put title for the sixth straight time last weekend at the conference championships, it was another quality finish, placing ninth in the event with a toss of 14.21m (46'7.5"). Senior Chrissy Robinson (Lusby, Md./Patuxent) finished eight spots back in 17th with a personal-best distance of 13.26m (43'6") which keeps her in fourth place all-time in school history.
Jackson, the America East Indoor and Outdoor Most Outstanding Rookie, led the way on the track for the Retriever once again, reaching the finals of the 100m dash and placing fifth in the event with a time of 11.79. The freshman improved in each heat over the weekend and finished just off of her UMBC record pace of 11.66 set at the Morgan State Legacy meet in April. Jackson also finished 14th in the 200m dash at the regional meet with a time of 24.59.
On the men's side, senior Aaron Brooks (Upper Marlboro, Md./DeMatha) also recorded a top finish, taking tenth in the discus with a toss of 49.70m (163'1"). The veteran thrower also finished in 23rd in the shot put, recording a distance of 15.38m (50'5.5").
Also for the Retrievers, junior Shioma Obemeata (New Rochelle, N.Y./Iona Prep/St. Francis) placed 12th in the triple jump with a leap of 14.59m (47'10.5") and America East steeplechase champion sophomore Brandan McGee (Hiram, Ohio/Crestwood) finished 22nd in the distance event in a time of 9:20.81.

Football bosses to vote on trials of chips in shirts to warn of players suffering medical problems
FOOTBALL LAWMAKERS' will be asked next month to allow trials of an electronic chip in players' shirts which could potentially warn of medical problems such as the heart attack suffered by Fabrice Muamba on the pitch.
The laws of the game currently ban any electronic communication between the players and staff in the technical area.
Now the International FA Board (IFAB), the body which draws up the laws, have been asked to consider making an exception for chips contained in the collar of a player's shirt which can feed back data such as heart performance, body temperature and the distance being covered.
The IFAB is made up of the four home nations, who have a vote apiece, and FIFA which has four votes, and the issue is being brought before its annual meeting in Edinburgh on March 3.
It is understood FIFA is wary about allowing the electronic chips but Stewart Regan, chief executive of the Scottish FA, said it was a "no brainer" if there were medical benefits, especially if they could warn of problems similar to those experienced by former Bolton midfielder Muamba.
Regan said: "There may well be medical benefits. These chips can monitor heart performance, distance run, changes in a person's body functions what's operating differently to how it was in the first half.
"We are looking at whether there are medical benefits, such as whether it can warn of problems such as Fabrice Muamba suffered, which would make it a no brainer for this to come in.
"We are trying to consider whether or not things can make a positive difference in the game rather than just another example of technology being brought in.
"There is a chip in the shirt at the back of the player's neck and the data is fed back into a laptop."
Regan said there needed to be a differentiation between coaches in the technical area not being permitted electronic communication with players, and wants to see if there is any scope to allow the chips both for tools to help coaches make decisions and for possible medical benefits.
He admitted though that some of those in football might see it as another step down the road to more technology after goal-line systems were given the go-ahead last year.
"There is one school of thought that it's a pure game and shouldn't be any technology and another that thinks if you can make players medically safer why shouldn't it be considered?"
The issue has been put onto the IFAB agenda by the SFA but it is likely the body will ask for a trial to take place before any permanent decision is made.
Muamba collapsed during an FA Cup tie at Tottenham in March last year. His heart stopped for 78 minutes before doctors saved him and he has made a full recovery though he will not play professionally again.
