Bracket Briefing: Does Michigan State deserve a No. 1 seed?
AT THE WATER COOLER: A healthy Michigan State is as good or better than any team in the country. The problem is, we're getting closer and closer to Selection Sunday, and the injury-riddled Spartans continue to confound us on their potential.
Right when it seemed as if this talented team was finally getting to full strength, Tom Izzo's squad will now be without Keith Appling for at least another week. The starting guard, fighting a wrist injury, missed this week's game against Penn State and also sat out Sunday's 60-58 loss to Wisconsin.
BRACKETOLOGY:Projecting the field of 68
BASKETBALL BRUNCH:Is Iowa a contender or bust?
Appling (15.0 ppg, 4.9 apg) is Michigan State's second-leading scorer. It's the latest setback in a series of injuries for a team with Final Four expectations when at full strength. NBA prospect forward Adreian Payne missed seven games with a sprained foot.
Michigan State's starting lineup Sunday was its 13th different lineup in the past 19 games and 14th overall. Along with Appling and Payne, Matt Costello (mononucleosis), Harris (sprained ankle) and still-healing Branden Dawson (broken hand) have all been afflicted by health issues.
Even though the Spartans (20-4, 9-2) might be better than a team like Wichita State when at full strength, the NCAA tournament selection committee has to grade the entire body of work. The Shockers aren't worthy of a No. 1 seed (at this point in the season) just because they're 25-0. It's also because they've been playing at an extremely high level while avoiding the injury bug. Arizona, for instance, is arguably the best team in the country when healthy, too. But the loss of Brandon Ashley changes that drastically. The committee has to judge the Spartans based on their résumé (RPI of 11, SoS of 10) more than their ceiling. Otherwise, one could argue Kentucky's deserving of a No. 1 seed based on the eight McDonald's All-American freshmen on John Calipari's roster.
Of course, we're in the second week of February and a Big Ten title certainly would speak major volumes should Michigan State hold off challengers – namely Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin. But right now, there's no need for argument. The Spartans are an obvious No. 2 seed.
Luckily for Michigan State, the schedule gets easier with home games against Northwestern and Nebraska this week before hitting the road to face Purdue and Michigan.
TWEET THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES: St. John's upset Creighton on Sunday, beating the Bluejays, 70-65, to drop Doug McDermott-led Creighton to second place in the Big East standings.
ANALYSIS:How far can Larry Brown take SMU?
BEST BET TONIGHT: Kansas State turned in arguably its best performance of the season Saturday, snapping Texas's seven-game winning streak in the process. The Wildcats don't have long to wait for their next opportunity to take down a ranked Big 12 opponent on their home floor. Archrival No. 9 Kansas pays a visit to Bramlage Coliseum (9 p.m. ET, ESPN) in the night's top matchup. The 34-point performance turned in by K-State freshman Marcus Foster was nice, but coach Bruce Weber was just as pleased with his team's defense. That defense helped build an early 18-4 lead, which it never relinquished. That figures to be more difficult against the Jayhawks, who have more scoring options than just Andrew Wiggins. It will be up to Naadir Tharpe to manage the half-court game effectively for KU in hostile territory.
ALSO ON DECK TONIGHT: A look at the rest of the marquee matchups to watch around the country. All times Eastern.
— Iowa State at West Virginia (7 p.m., ESPNU)
— Maryland at Virginia (9 p.m., ESPNU)
— Providence at Georgetown (7 p.m., FOX Sports 1)
— Miami (Fla.) at Florida State (7 p.m., ESPN)
NUMBER OF THE DAY: 48. The 48-point explosion by Iowa State's Melvin Ejim Saturday, Matching BYU's Tyler Haus for the highest single-game point total this season, stole most of the headlines on the Cyclones' win against TCU. Ejim went an amazing 20-for-24 from the field and also snared 18 rebounds, but there's another number in that box score that likely made ISU coach Fred Hoiberg even happier – 27. The Cyclones totaled 27 assists on their 32 made baskets. Three players handed out at least six dimes, paced by DeAndre Kane's 10. Hoiberg hopes his team will show the same willingness to feed the hot hand tonight as the team hits the road for West Virginia (7 p.m. ET, ESPNU).

Slow Cooker Ropa Vieja
I made the mistake of going grocery shopping today. Emphasis on the word mistake. I should have known that it would be crazy since it's the weekend before Thanksgiving. To make matters worse the grocery store that I chose to shop at was out of everything and had the genius idea of stocking in the middle of a busy shopping day. Not the brightest idea. Add unpleasant shoppers and two screaming children and I think that I am staying inside my house the rest of the week. Don't get me wrong I love cooking and visiting family during the holidays. What I don't enjoy is the delightful attitude that people seem to acquire during this time of year. The worst seems to come out in particular at the sample stands, a little old lady literally pushed my oldest son out of the way in an attempt to get the last sample. Luckily the shopping part is over and now I can focus on the cooking, which I love. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving this year since my two boys will both be old enough to help me in the kitchen. I'm going to prep a lot of things the day before so I can just enjoy spending time with my children while they are still young enough to want to spend time with me. They are growing up way too fast and before I know it they will be all grown-up. So this year I am going to make sure to enjoy the little things and not stress out about everything being perfect. Cooking with my oldest isn't something that I do just during the holidays. Last week my son and I prepared a new recipe for Slow Cooker Ropa Vieja from the March issue of the Food Network Magazine, which with minimal prep is a great way to have kids help in the kitchen.
This recipe has 11 ingredients. It takes 8 hours of cooking plus 15 minutes of prep and makes 4 servings. I had no problems finding any of the ingredients at my local grocery store. Obviously my six-year-old is too small to do most cutting, so he had the job of adding everything to the crockpot. I chose to leave all the seeds in the jalapeno, my two boys are currently in stages where they actually like spicy foods so I am enjoying it while it lasts. I am relatively picky about ketchup and will only use brands made with real sugar. The flavor is better and I try to not add a lot of high fructose corn syrup into my family's diet. I don't use flank steak frequently, but I did for this recipe. After making this dish I will definitely buy this cut again, it was so much more tender than the chuck roasts I have been buying. Instead of serving over white rice I served this dish over brown rice. As I have stated previously we rarely eat white rice and my two boys actually now prefer the taste of brown rice. I followed the remainder of the recipe as written.
The flank steak in this recipe turned out delicious. This isn't a cut I normally purchase, but after this recipe I am hooked. It was so tender and much better than the chuck round roasts that most crockpot recipes rely upon. The unseeded jalapeno lent flavor, but wasn't too spicy for my two boys. Overall, a slow cooker recipe that my whole family enjoyed that was easy enough for my six-year-old to help me with.
For the recipe go to Slow Cooker Ropa Vieja.

Looks and sounds great - as usual! I've used Flank Steak a lot. Now I have a new recipe for Flank Steak. :-)ReplyDelete
BTW - I've just had about the same shopping experience you had. What are people thinking or are they? I was beginning to wonder if the store had shrunk but I think it was the re-stocking going on. Glad to be out of there.
Thanks for sharing this recipe with us. Now I'm very hungry! Reia from www.southcountrysides.blogspot.comReplies
Yeah the re-stocking during a holiday weekend wasn't a great idea. Luckily I haven't had to go to the store since :)Delete
I agree with so many of the ways that you cook! We only eat brown rice and are trying to limit HFCS as well. This recipe looks like it was yummy! Have fun with your kids this holiday. :)ReplyDelete
Heartfelt Balance Handmade LifeReplies
It has been a slow process :) Brown rice took a while for my kids to decide was good to eat, but now they eat it without complaints. I hope you family has a great holiday also :)Delete
I know exactly what you mean about the shopping at this time of year! That dish, however, looks delicious! It is one of my go-to dishes at a small cuban restaurant here locally. I just might have to try making this at home.:)ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm glad that I'm not the only one that has had bad shopping experiences :) If you try the recipe tell me how it turns out!Delete
Oh my! Ropa Vieja! My granma knows how to do that :)ReplyDelete

Should threatening to shoot a presidential candidate in the face earn you a Secret Service visit?
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
October 23, 2012
This morning, I compiled a list of Tweets from Obama supporters threatening to assassinate Mitt Romney and provoke riots if Obama loses the election. The article has since been picked up by the Drudge Report, but I subsequently came across a number of tweets even more violent and offensive than the ones featured in my article.
Twitchy has discovered yet more tweets from Obama supporters threatening to violently murder Romney. They include the following;
The establishment has tried to bury this issue by blaming the likes of Infowars for drawing attention to it. Because most of the tweets are being made by black people, it's all our fault and we are engaging in "race-baiting".
Apparently, according to the likes of Think Progress who downplayed the issue, it's no big deal to threaten to shoot a presidential candidate in the face so long as your skin color is black.
Imagine how this organization, which claims it is non-partisan yet simultaneously admits its goal is centered around "driving the White House's message and agenda," would react to thousands of tweets threatening violence against Obama?
Since the majority of death threats against Barack Obama over the past four years have been made by white people, does that also render the issue meaningless?
Were the news outlets that reported on the death threats made by white people against Obama blamed for "race-baiting"? No, the death threats were treated seriously and investigated by the Secret Service.
Though the Secret Service said it was "aware" of the threats being made against Romney last week, no apparent effort has been made to find out if these people posed a genuine danger to the former Massachusetts Governor.
The race of those engaging in death threats against public figures shouldn't matter, all the threats should be treated with equal concern. If anyone is engaging in "race-baiting," it is those who have played the race card in attacking us merely for covering this story.
It is important to stress that Infowars is non-partisan. We do not support either Romney or Obama. Yet the magnitude of the double standard in the media's failure to acknowledge this story, while leftist Obama front groups attempt to demonize those drawing attention to it, is jaw-dropping given the aggressiveness with which liberals persecute conservatives whenever heated rhetoric is targeted against left-wingers.
To their credit, many sensible black Twitter users have castigated those making the threats, pointing out the sheer stupidity of their actions, yet the American media still remains virtually mute on the entire issue.

Pond & Lake Q & A
Q: Last year I had an uncontrollable case of duckweed in my pond. It covered my entire 1/2 acre pond! I've heard of your product called WhiteCap and wanted to use it this spring. I don't see any signs of duckweed yet, but was wondering if it is too early to treat.
– Cameron of Michigan
A: Duckweed can take over a pond. This prolific grower can come from many sources although most commonly brought in on the feet of waterfowl such as ducks, geese or even herons. The small plant can stick to the feet or the feathers of such birds and be carried for miles. Duckweed can start out slow and in some cases take several seasons to become a problem, although I would recommend treating for it as early as possible.
There are a few options when treating duckweed. You can use a fast-acting aquatic herbicide such as Ultra PondWeed Defense® although this will only give you temporary relief and require multiple applications of spraying the duckweed directly. These are not usually suggested unless your treatment areas are not contained or you have heavy water turnover. When possible I always suggest Sonar™ A.S. since it is the least expensive method of treating an entire pond, is easy to apply and lasts an entire season.
We recommend to use 32 oz or 1 quart per surface acre (4-6′ deep) when treating for duckweed. This means Cameron's 1/2 acre pond can be treated with just 16 oz of Sonar™ A.S.!
To answer the question above, treat with Sonar™ A.S. in the early spring before the duckweed even appears. This will allow you to get ahead of it before it reaches the surface. Although you don't generally see it Duckweed is actually growing at the bottom of your pond long before you see it at the surface.
There are also other nice benefits to Sonar™ A.S. such as: It works very slowly so there is no chance of oxygen loss that could harm your fish or other aquatic life. Sonar™ A.S. is also very effective at controlling most other nuisance aquatic plants. So when your treat for your duckweed you will be controlling most other species as well.
Please Note: Sonar™ A.S. needs to stay in your pond for up to 90 days. It is not recommended to use it in ponds with a heavy overflow or when during times of heavy rain. If you are unsure of your pond's turnover (or amount of water that is exchanged) use Nature's Blue™ Pond Dye to shade the water column and track the time it takes for the color to disappear. You may also use Nature's Blue™ Pond Dye during a Sonar™ A.S. treatment to track turnover and shade the pond from sunlight which can also reduce the life span of Sonar™ A.S.

When will Mary Pratt's "Jelly Shelf" painting be released as a high quality print?
We already have one of her prints framed and mounted on a wall in our dining room area, and we love it. But we've been hoping to see the jars painting (as we've always called it) available as a print since we first saw it in person at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in 2005 (see my Rodin and Mary Pratt post). Seeing the painting on a 52 cent stamp is nice, but it might be the worst thing that could have been done to a painting that needs to be viewed in its full size to really get it. I wrote this after I saw it in Nova Scotia:
It looks like a photograph, but up close you can see the actual brush strokes. The effect of slowly walking back from the painting as it reveals itself is so dramatic, I don't know what to tell you except that you have to see it to believe it…
I've written this post in the hopes that whoever owns the painting will realize that there is a market for a high quality print of it. I know I'd pay good money for it.

Here's my replacement for my VBScript based Wiki Table tool which, as those of you who used it previously, knew it would only create an empty table for you to paste onto the Wiki and then you'd have to fill in the gaps by hand.
Well, not any more!
Use this version and enter your text information into a worksheet (I've given some examples inside the spreadsheet) and, when you're ready to export the table(s), click on the Instructions tab. Then click the button which will start the GUI. Select the worksheet you want to export (you can only do one at a time .. but this is only v0.1!) and click the Go button.
By default the file is saved in the same folder as the spreadsheet - I'll add proper file-selection if it's required by you.
It's been tested on Excel 2000, 2003 & 2007 - but you need to enable the macros in Office 2007 which the help file can tell you how to do. Flummoxed me at first as even though I enabled the macros it wouldn't work until I'd quit Excel 2007 and then re-loaded the program.
So please go ahead, test and destroy and give me some feedback. I'll be working on adding the colours and general bold/italic detection routine into the code for the next version.
Enjoy and I hope it means more pages get added to the Wiki - I've already converted a few pages that were using ASCII style tables into Wiki tables

When Lynda and Stewart Resnick, the Beverly Hills entrepreneurs who founded POM Wonderful, wanted to host a dinner at their Aspen home in 2006 to talk about the Iraq war, they assembled a list of 22 A-list guests, including Queen Noor of Jordan, George Soros, the financier, and Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California.
Leading the list of journalists was one of their favorite guests: Fareed Zakaria, the Indian-born Harvard Ph.D and foreign-policy specialist who had turned himself into an unlikely media star.
"When he speaks, I listen," Ms. Resnick said last week. "I am just so thrilled that he exists, that there is someone like that."
Since that evening, the Resnicks have watched Mr. Zakaria climb the media ladder to even greater heights — running Newsweek International, writing columns for Time magazine and The Washington Post, hosting "GPS," his own program on CNN, and becoming one of the favorite dinner companions of the power elite.
But Mr. Zakaria's career suffered an abrupt setback recently after bloggers discovered that his column of Aug. 20 for Time magazine had passages lifted almost entirely from an article by the historian Jill Lepore that appeared in The New Yorker in April.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Zakaria quickly apologized. But within minutes, Time had suspended him for a month and CNN, which had posted parts of the column on its Web site, removed the article and suspended him until further notice. Both began investigations of his work, as did The Post.
On Thursday afternoon, Time and CNN said they had completed their reviews, found no evidence of plagiarism and restored Mr. Zakaria to his demanding schedule. Just as quickly as his employers had questioned his credibility, they rallied around him.
"He's one of the premier global intellectuals," said Richard Stengel, managing editor of Time. "He will recover."
Not that long ago, getting a column in Time would have been the pinnacle of a journalist's career. But expectations and opportunities have grown in the last few years. Many writers now market themselves as separate brands, and their journalism works largely as a promotion for more lucrative endeavors like writing books and public speaking.
The problem, as Mr. Zakaria discovered, is that stain from any scandal can spread across platforms, threatening the image he had carefully built.
"This guy is his own brand," said Jim Kelly, a former top editor at Time. "So when doing that, you have to be really careful at how you extend yourself. The American corporate landscape is littered with disastrous brand extensions."
In an interview on Friday in his CNN office, Mr. Zakaria again apologized for what he had called "a terrible mistake."
"This week has been very important because it has made me realize what is at the core of what I want to do," Mr. Zakaria said. He said he wanted to "help people to think about this fast-moving world and do this through my work on TV and writing."
He added: "Other things will have to go away. There's got to be some stripping down."
Even a stripped-down schedule for Mr. Zakaria seems ambitious. Mr. Zakaria said he works on his column ideas each weekend, reports them on Monday, writes on Tuesday and Wednesday and films his Sunday television program on Thursday.
Then there are the three books he wrote and one book he edited, the speeches, the Twitter postings, all while trying to spend mornings with his family. On a recent Friday he was trying to cook pancakes and French toast for his three children who range in age from 4 to 13.
Mr. Zakaria said he never had an assistant write a column in 25 years and that he began using a research assistant for his column only in the last year.
The mistake, he said, occurred when he confused the notes he had taken about Ms. Lepore's article — he said he often writes his research in longhand — with notes taken from "Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America," by Adam Winkler (W.W. Norton, 2011), a copy of which was on his desk at his CNN office.
Charles R. Eisendrath, director of the Knight-Wallace Fellows in journalism at the University of Michigan, said the episode reflects the economic realities underlying the media business, where magazines have become more dependent on single personalities.
"What happens in the media is the cult of personality," he said. "The brands who have been forced to cut their staff have been forced to take on the brands of journalists."
He compared what happened to Mr. Zakaria to some of the challenges that Dan Rather went through before his fall. Mr. Rather stepped down as anchor of "The CBS Evening News" after the network began an investigation into his report on "60 Minutes II" on President George W. Bush's National Guard record. He was doing four jobs while his predecessor Walter Cronkite was able to focus on one, Mr. Eisendrath said. "As long as it's cheaper to brand individual personalities than to build staff and bolster their brand, they will do it," he said.
Friends say Mr. Zakaria, 48, has always been a multitasker — and an ambitious one. Boykin Curry, said that when they were Yale undergraduates and Mr. Zakaria ran the Yale Political Union, he set up trips to meet the vice president, Isaac Asimov and Andy Rooney. At the same time, Mr. Curry said, Mr. Zakaria always seemed so well read that "I figured he just never had to sleep."
Gideon Rose, another close college friend of Mr. Zakaria's and the editor of Foreign Affairs magazine, said that Mr. Zakaria has always been efficient even with his private time. As he approached middle age, Mr. Zakaria grew more committed to an exercise routine of running and tennis and stuck to it. In 2011, he briefly separated from his wife, Paula Throckmorton, but said they were back together.
"I wish I had one-tenth of the energy and productivity he has," Mr. Rose said. "I am much more normal than he is and therefore much less disciplined."
After spending eight years as an editor at Foreign Affairs magazine, Mr. Zakaria established his public reputation with a cover article for Newsweek in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks titled "Why They Hate Us."
He publicly favored the Iraq invasion, although he argued for a multinational force and was critical of how the war was conducted. Moving to Time, he wrote "How to Restore the American Dream" a cover article and a CNN special.
Barrett Sheridan, a book researcher for Mr. Zakaria from 2008 to 2010, described his former boss as a "phenomenally fast and lucid writer" and said that he never knew Mr. Zakaria to have a ghostwriter.
Nisid Hajari, who worked with Mr. Zakaria at Newsweek from 2001 through 2010, said that, unlike some other columnists, Mr. Zakaria did his own research and writing. "I've edited other writers who seem to me to be overextended, and you can see it in their copy," Mr. Hajari said. "Fareed was never like that."
Current and former colleagues say that Mr. Zakaria has been very deliberate in the assignments he will take on. Mark Whitaker, managing editor of CNN Worldwide and former editor of Newsweek, said that Mr. Zakaria told him he had turned down suggestions that he start appearing daily on CNN.
Former colleagues at Newsweek International said he was involved in choosing covers and generating ideas but did little line editing and was more the public face of the magazine.
Now he says he plans to cut back work with groups like the Council on Foreign Relations, the Little Shakespeare Company and the Yale University governing board. He also says he plans to make fewer speeches.
"This has been a tough week, but it has also been clarifying," he said. "You find out what matters to you in life, who your friends are."
Ms. Resnick counts herself as one of his admirers. "It's not his character to do these things," she said about the plagiarism. "I think it's a tempest in a teapot."
An article on Monday about a career setback for the media star Fareed Zakaria misidentified the magazine for which he worked as an editor for eight years. It is Foreign Affairs magazine, not Foreign Policy. The article also misidentified the editing position that Gideon Rose holds at Foreign Affairs magazine. He is the editor, not the managing editor.

Guardian Angel
Please play it forward!
today is a day we all need to come together and be there for each other. I know
many are affected by todays events either by the not know where your loves are
or if you have lost someone today or if you like me are a military spouse the
not knowing of what is going to happen is tough. I hope this poem I'm going to
share will reach from coast to coast to touch the lives of all affected today.
Please just remember that our loves ones that have passed on, and are love ones
who may go to fight for us will always be with us and to all the military you
have many guardian angels watching over you today.
Guardian Angel
As I Sit Here Thinking Of You Knowing Its Only Been Months Since You Passed
Away. Remembering The Last Time I Saw You, And As The Tears Filled My Eyes, You
Whispered I Love You, But All I Could Do Was Cry Because I Knew When I Left
That It Would Be The Last Time I Would See You. But Today I Know Relies That
You Are Always With Me, In My Mind And In My Heart, Guarding Me From Harm. When
I Look Up At The Stars I Can Feel You Looking Down At Me, Loving And Protecting
Me At All Times. I Know You Will Never Leave Me, For You Are My Guardian Angel.

Host Artist, Welcome the World
Join the nearly 200 Venues throughout downtown Grand Rapids that open their doors each year to host artists and visitors at the world's largest art competition.
Register your Venue before April 5, 2018.
ArtPrize® is remarkably open and collaborative by design. Any space within the ArtPrize district that registers during the Venue Registration period and meets approval requirements is eligible to host one or more ArtPrize Artists and organize its own show. Collectively, these independently organized art shows comprise the world's largest art competition, attracting hundreds of thousands of artists and visitors from all around the world.
Eligible Venues may:
- Be any size
- Be public or private spaces
- Be indoors or outdoors
- Be museums, parks, universities, retail shops, offices spaces, restaurants, cafes, non-profits, churches, residences, or any other building or space
Eligible Venues must:
- Be located within the ArtPrize district
- Be open and accessible for at least the minimum required hours and free to the public
- Meet federal, state, and city codes
The eligibility of your Venue is not fully confirmed until you've completed at least one Connection with an Artist. If an Artist has not agreed to exhibit in your space by the end of the Connections Period, your Venue is not eligible to participate in ArtPrize this year.
ArtPrize District
The ArtPrize district spans three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids, MI, and any space within its boundary can be an ArtPrize Venue. The ArtPrize boundary extends north to Leonard Street and south to Wealthy Street, with its western border marked by Alpine Avenue NW/Straight Avenue SW and its eastern border by College Ave.
Take a look at the map below to see if your space is eligible.
View a larger map of the ArtPrize district
You can learn more about the ArtPrize district and its diverse neighborhoods—Center City, Heartside, Hillside, Monroe North/Belknap, Westside, and The Gardens*—on the Plan Your Visit page.
*Frederick Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park and SiTE:LAB are the only venues located outside the boundaries. Learn more about these special exceptions.
Juried Award for Outstanding Venue
In addition to prizes awarded by Public Vote, ArtPrize presents Juried Awards that are decided by a group of internationally acclaimed art experts. The Juried Award for Outstanding Venue is the only prize presented to the curator of a Venue instead of an Artist.
Venue Grants
All ArtPrize Venues are invited to apply for a Venue Grant. These grants are intended to provide assistance, but not necessarily cover all costs of the exhibition. Recipients will be determined by the Exhibitions Department and reviewed by the ArtPrize Arts Advisory Committee. Eligibility will be based on need and merit.
How to Apply
Applications will be accepted during the Venue Registration period, from March 5 through April 5, 2018 at 5 p.m. EDT.
Venues must complete registration on artprize.org before applying for a Venue Grant, including paying the $100 registration fee.
Click here to apply for a venue grant.
Questions about the application process can be sent to email@example.com.
Registration & Approval
To participate in ArtPrize, venues must register before 5:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, April 5.
Registration requires three simple steps:
- Sign up for an account on artprize.org, or sign in if you already have an ArtPrize account
- Pay the $100 registration fee to enter your venue and create your Venue Profile
- Receive ArtPrize approval; then start planning your exhibit!
A few notes about creating your Venue Profile
- Your Venue profile is your face both to Artists and the public. There are two Venue descriptions on your profile, one catered to visitors and one to Artists, so keep these audiences in mind when you're writing. Use one to sell yourself to the public as a place to visit and the other to Artists as a space to exhibit their Artwork.
- The more information and photos you provide, the better chance you will have of establishing great Connections with Artists. Keep in mind that many Artists are traveling from around the country and the world and may not be familiar with the area, so photos of your space are very important.
- Multiple people can manage the same Venue and Venue Profile. Simply add additional Venue managers from your Venue Profile page using the email address associated with their artprize.org account. (Each desired Venue manager must have an individual ArtPrize account before you can add them as managers.)
- After registration is complete, you'll still be able to edit your Venue profile.
- During the approval process, ArtPrize staff will verify your information.
The approval process
Once you pay the registration fee and submit your Venue Profile, ArtPrize will review everything to ensure that your venue meets eligibility requirements. If you are a first-time Venue or we need to reconnect, we will set up a time to visit your space, talk through the process and requirements, and answer any questions you may have. Once you are approved, your profile will go live on artprize.org.
Next steps
The next step is finding Artists to exhibit Artwork in your space. When Artist Registration opens, you'll be able to begin browsing registered Artists. Then, during the Connections period, you may contact Artists and Artists will contact you. Once the Connections Period ends, you will be unable to secure additional Artists.
Now that your space is approved as an ArtPrize Venue, all you need are some Artists to exhibit their Artwork.
Remember, ArtPrize plays no role in assigning Artists to Venues. Instead, you are expected to review requests from Artists and decide which Artwork to display within your Venue. This process of selecting Artists and curating exhibits is managed through the Connections tool on your artprize.org Account and involves just four steps.
That's it! You're one Artist closer to curating a world-class exhibition.
- Check for Requests. Registered Artists will begin to browse artprize.org for available Venues right away to find the perfect spot for their Artwork. As soon as the Connections Period opens, they can request to connect with you if they think your space would be a good fit. When Artists request to connect with you, they'll be listed under "Requested" in the "My Connections" area of your Account. You can also request to connect with Artists if you have a specific vision for your exhibition and see a particular Artwork you believe would work well in your space.
- Confirm Interest. Review the Artists in your "Incoming Connection Requests" list. When you find ones you like, click "Yes" to confirm that you're interested in hosting their Artwork at your Venue. Once you do this, they move from "Requested" to "Pending" in the "My Connections" area of your Account and they receive an email notification. Similarly, you'll receive a notification if an Artist you've requested to connect with confirms interest.
- Discuss Details. When both you and the Artist confirm mutual interest in working together, send them an email or give them a call to discuss the details of exhibiting their Artwork. Make sure you agree on specifics (where the Artwork will be installed, when it will arrive, who installs it, etc.). At this point, you'll need to draft a Hosting Agreement and provide it to the Artist to sign and return.
- Confirm Agreement. As the final step, both you and the Artist must confirm that you have signed the Hosting Agreement. You'll confirm first. Look for the confirmation button next to the Artist in the "Pending" list in the "My Connections" area of your Account and click "Yes". Then, if the Artist does the same, the connection is complete.
A few things to keep in mind
- If you are also registered for ArtPrize as an Artist, you may exhibit your own work at your Venue provided you use the standard Connections process.
- If you complete a Connection with an Artist and then later you and the Artist both agree to terminate this Connection during the Connections Period, please email the Exhibitions Team at email@example.com and explain the situation.
Hosting Agreement
The Hosting Agreement is a contract between you and and each Artist that details all the specifics of your working relationship. Venues need to provide each Artist with a Hosting Agreement during Step 3 of the Connections process. It must be signed by both parties before your Connection can be completed to ensure that both parties are on the same page about what to expect during the event.
ArtPrize provides each Venue with a Hosting Agreement Template that you are able to customize to create your own Hosting Agreements based on your specific needs and what you negotiate with individual Artists.
Every Hosting Agreement should include:
- A description of the Artwork to be exhibited
- Specific requirements for the Artwork (like lighting)
- How much space the Artwork will take up in the Venue
- Specific description of the agreed location within the Venue
- Any additional open hours for the Venue beyond the required minimum
- When the Artist can start installation
- Arrangements for shipping, installation, and removal if the Artist will not be attending the event
- Who pays for shipping (if necessary)
- Who pays for promotional materials (if any)
- Who is responsible for insurance and security during the event
- How sales are handled
- Who is responsible for Artwork removal and how and when it will be removed
These are the types of details that could be easily missed or miscommunicated without a Hosting Agreement in place and cause unnecessary strain between an Artist and Venue leading up to or during the ArtPrize event.
Artists and Venues are expected to negotiate the terms until both parties are comfortable with the details. Note that the entire process of negotiating and signing a Hosting Agreement can be completed entirely through email—simply type your name into the signature section at the bottom of the Hosting Agreement and it constitutes a valid signature.
Brokering Sales
When Artists fill out their Artwork Profile, they're given the option of listing their Artwork for sale. This feature simply allows interested buyers to make an inquiry, and all details of the sales themselves are negotiated entirely between Artists and buyers.
While ArtPrize is not involved in the sales process, Venues may choose to broker sales and take a commission on art sold from their exhibition. However, we recommend that you only do this if you are actively assisting Artists in making sales. Any sales arrangements must be clearly stated in the Hosting Agreement and be agreed upon by both the Venue and Artist.
Additional info
- Be cautious. ArtPrize does not accept responsibility for the actions of potential buyers.
- When Artists offer a work for sale, ArtPrize asks for a price. This is for internal use only and will not be displayed on Artist Profiles or printed on Artist labels. It's up to the Artist and Venue to decide how to communicate prices to potential buyers.
- All sales during the event are considered pending until the end of the event. Artwork may not be removed from the Venue during ArtPrize.
One question a Venue and Artist will face together is who is responsible for insuring the Artwork. In the Hosting Agreement that ArtPrize provides, we leave it up to the Venue and Artist to decide how insurance is covered, but it usually makes the most sense for a Venue to insure.
Here's why:
Most Venues will already have an insurance policy they can add a rider to. The annual rate for fine arts coverage is normally between $0.15 and $0.50 per $100 of value, depending on the type of art. (Some insurance companies may want a minimum premium and/or a minimum deductible for issuing the rider.) Once ArtPrize is over, the Venue can request cancellation of the rider and receive a refund for any excess premium paid.
Insuring artwork in three easy steps
- The Artist sends the Venue a letter including the name, description, date of completion, and dollar value of the Artwork, along with adequate evidence to validate its insurable value.
- The Venue requests a rider to their current policy. (Some more robust insurance policies may already cover items on loan, making the rider unnecessary. Check with your insurance company.)
- The Venue names the Artist a "loss payee" on the policy.
That's it. And the cost should be fairly minimal.
Let's say a work is valued at $100,000 and subject to a rate of $0.40/$100. The rider would be $400 annually, but for just one month of coverage, the actual cost would be only $33.00. (Be sure to ask your insurance agent for exact requirements and costs.)
By comparison, an Artist may have to open a new policy, which could have base premiums of $580 or more.
So, whether the Venue absorbs the fee as part of participating in ArtPrize or requests reimbursement from each Artist in the Hosting Agreement, the process is generally simple and costs the Venue far less than it would the Artists on their own.
Hosting Agreement Template
The Hosting Agreement is a contract between you and and each Artist that details all the specifics of your working relationship. Use this template to create your own Hosting Agreements based on your specific needs and what you negotiate with individual Artists.
Artist Labels
ArtPrize prints one official voting label for each Artwork entered in ArtPrize. Labels contain the title, medium, and voting number, as well as the Artist name, city, and country. All labels contain voting instructions.
Voting labels are distributed to Venues. Either the Venue or Artist must place them next to the Artwork before voting begins. This responsibility should be decided with the Artist in advance.
Some Artists find the need to print additional labels. In this case, please use the official PDF templates provided below.
Please note that ArtPrize does not print Artist statements. However, an Artist statement template is included with the label templates, so you may arrange to print your own or request that artists print them.
*Artist Voting Label templates will be available to download in the Artists Downloads section of the website in Summer 2018.
City Codes
Inspections and Fire Code
ArtPrize is a public event, so there is the possibility that City inspectors will want to visit your Venue and talk about your exhibition if they have concerns or questions about your compliance with City regulations.
Download this quick and imformative handout ArtPrize Venue fire safety.
Grand Rapids has many resources designated to ensure all participants in ArtPrize experience a safe and enjoyable event. See the City of Grand Rapids website for information about hosting or operating a special event in conjunction with ArtPrize.
Permanent Murals or Installations
Works of art that will become permanent fixtures of the Grand Rapids landscape, such as murals and sculpture, or any installation that might potentially obstruct a walkway or other public space, must first be reviewed and approved by the City of Grand Rapids' Arts Advisory Board. If your Venue wishes to host such an Artwork, email firstname.lastname@example.com and our Exhibitions Team will work with the City to obtain the necessary approvals.
If you're planning receptions or other events at your Venue leading up to or during ArtPrize, you can add them to the Events Calendar on artprize.org. Click here to add your event.

Venue Icon & Brand Guidelines
When promoting your Venue and exhibition, you are not permitted to use the ArtPrize logo—ArtPrize reserves that logo exclusively for events, materials, and locations produced by ArtPrize. Instead, we provide an Venue Icon that Venues can use on promotional materials.
Two rules govern usage of the Venue Icon:
- You may not alter the Venue Icon. The Icon must appear as it is, without any changes to its color, shape, etc.
- You may not use the Venue Icon for commercial purposes. Anything you create using the Icon cannot be sold. (For example, you can make promotional t-shirts that use the Venue Icon, but you cannot sell them.)
The following icons are to be used only by official venues of ArtPrize 10. Use of these icons acknowledges delivery and understanding of the ArtPrize 10 Trademark and Styleguide, and represents your acceptance of the terms and conditions contained within.
During ArtPrize
Required minimum hours
During the event, Venues are required to be open and accessible to the public for at least the minimum required hours listed below, but are welcome to stay open beyond the requirement.
- Monday – Thursday: 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
- Friday & Saturday: Noon – 8:00 p.m.
- Sunday: Noon – 6:00 p.m.
If your Venue is outdoors or the exhibit can be experienced as intended from the outside, you do not need to keep your building open to the public, so long as the Artwork is accessible during the minimum open hours.
Help from volunteers
Many Venues choose to make use of volunteers to promote the exhibition, keep the doors open, answer questions, provide security, or guide visitors through the building, and we strongly encourage all Venues to involve their community in hosting an ArtPrize Venue.
It's important to note that ArtPrize itself does not provide volunteers to help with individual Venues. Official ArtPrize volunteers are recruited for voter registration, event way finding, and ArtPrize stores. Venues should arrange for their own support during the event.
Official Rules
The following is a summary of the Official Rules for Venues:
- Venues must pay a $100 non-refundable fee to register.
- After registration, Venues must be approved by ArtPrize.
- Venues must sign a Hosting Agreement with each Artist exhibiting at their Venue.
- Venues grant ArtPrize full rights to photograph the Venue during the event.
- Venues must be open and free to the public for the minimum required hours during the event.
- ArtPrize is not responsible for any damages that could occur to the Venue during the event.
- ArtPrize is not responsible for Artwork left in the Venue after the event.
- All Venues are eligible to receive the Juried Award for Outstanding Venue.

The cold front that came in last Sunday was nothing more than stumbling block for anglers in the hunt for trophy trout on Sabine Lake. The cold weather came in Sunday, and by Wednesday it was back to spring time, warm temperatures and warming tides along the upper Texas coast.
From now through the end of April, big trout will be roaming the shallows of both Sabine Lake and East Galveston Bay. Ditto that for the east shoreline of Trinity Bay.
Just recently I was talking with guide Tim Young, who can be found fishing Trinity Bay on just about any given day in late March and all of April.
"We haven't had much rain, so the upper end of Trinity Bay is going to be in perfect shape," said Young. "Any time we don't have a lot of freshwater runoff, the big trout will move up shallow on the upper end of Trinity Bay."
Jim West, who runs charters on East Galveston Bay, says the past couple of weeks have been like a yoyo with cold temperatures followed by warm, spring-like days.
"The big trout are trying to move shallow, but the cold weather like we had this week bumps 'em back to deeper water," says West. "I think our weather is going to stabilize within the next week or so. That's when we'll begin to see a better shallow -water pattern develop with topwaters lures and slow sinking mullet imitations."
When it comes to producing big trout, Sabine Lake ranks right up there with the best. Last week I got the chance to fish for about three hours along the Louisiana shoreline on a morning that was warm and calm. It was a slow bite until the tide turned. That's when mullet began to show up, and that's when the topwater bite turned on. We were fishing over shallow shell in about 3 feet of water. The go-to lure was a Super Spook Jr. in bone/chartreuse.
We were having a good time over one little reef until a complete idiot idled in on us and began throwing a cast net for mullet. The guy came within 20 yards of us and could clearly see we were catching trout. I just about blew a gasket. When I asked the guy if he was really that stupid he began dropping the F-bomb repeatedly in front of a young kid in his boat. About 99.9 percent of us know how to act on the water when running a boat. But there are a few morons out there that don't have a clue. It's probably best to just get away from them, but on the other hand it's not a bad idea to let 'em know just how dumb they really are.
Louisiana angler lands monster bass at Lake Fork
Louisiana angler Donald Deville makes regular visits to Lake Fork with friends and family to fish for big bass, but he had never landed a double-digit fish until March 20.
"The 14.06-pound largemouth bass he caught mid-morning of the group's first day on the lake is now Toyota ShareLunker 547," said Larry Hodge with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. "The fish was 25.75 inches long and 22 inches in girth."
Deville says he caught his bass of a lifetime in 5 feet of 58-degree water using a Brush Hog.
"It was about my third cast," he said. "I was fishing with one of my sons, and he threw on the left side of the stump, and I threw on the right. And I got the big lunker to bite."
Deville fought the fish for some time.
"She didn't wrap on anything, but she took a lot of drag," he said. "Finally we saw her and how big she was, and we got really excited."
Deville was not familiar with the Toyota ShareLunker program, but some members of his group were and advised him to take the fish to Lake Fork Marina to be weighed.
"The fish is the 11th entry into the Toyota ShareLunker program during the current season," said Hodge. "Average weight of the entries this season so far is 13.85 pounds, and the largest entry weighed 16.04. Two 14-pounders and one 15-pounder have also been entered."
Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or heavier largemouth bass from Texas waters, public or private, between Oct. 1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Toyota ShareLunker program by calling the ShareLunker hotline at (903) 681-0550 or paging (888) 784-0600 and leaving a phone number including area code. Fish will be picked up by TPWD personnel within 12 hours.

I'm writing this program that is a drivers license test . the main method allows the user to input 20 answers and it creates an array of those answers then it is suppose to make that a new instance of a class that checks the array of the users answers against an array of the correct answers and return true or false to tell if the user passed then I need a method to return the number of correct answers and a method to return the number of incorrect answers. My issue is that my methods for correct and incorrect are always returning 0 and the Boolean method I always false. Thanks
public class DriverExam2 { private String[] correctAnswers={"b","d","a","a","c","a","b","a","c","d","b","c","d","a","d","c","c","b","d","a"}; private String[] userAnswers=new String[20]; boolean passed; int numberCorrect; int numberIncorrect; //constructer to set userAnswers public DriverExam2(String[] entered) { userAnswers=entered; } //accessor method to return userAnswers public String[] getUserAnswers() { return userAnswers; } //mutator method to assign count and pass fail public void setInfo() { boolean pass=false; int correctCount=0; int incorrectCount=0; for(int i=0;i<userAnswers.length;i++) { if(userAnswers[i].equals(correctAnswers[i])) { correctCount++; } else { incorrectCount++; } } if(correctCount>14) {pass=true;} passed=pass; numberCorrect=correctCount; numberIncorrect=incorrectCount; } //accessor methods to return if you passed,the correct count, and the incorrect count. public boolean getPassFail() { return passed; } public int getTotalCorrect() { return numberCorrect; } public int getTotalIncorrect() { return numberIncorrect; } }
import java.util.Scanner; public class DriverExamDemo2 { public static void main(String[] args) { String[] userAnswers=new String[20]; String answer; System.out.println("please enter the testee's answers as the correspond with the question number"); for(int i=0;i<userAnswers.length;i++) { Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Q."+(i+1)); answer=input.next(); userAnswers[i]=answer; } // constructor to send the users answers DriverExam2 exam1 = new DriverExam2(userAnswers); //call the accessor methods for total correct total incorrect and System.out.println("the number of questions you answered correctly was "+exam1.getTotalCorrect()); System.out.println("the number of questions you answered incorrectly was "+exam1.getTotalIncorrect()); //get the boolean return from pass fail method and print out accordingly to wether it is true or false if(exam1.getPassFail()) System.out.println("you passed your driving exam"); else System.out.println("you failed your driving exam"); } }

Here are the quick courts-related highlights from the final budget proposed by the General Assembly, likely to be voted upon and sent to the governor this week:
- Cuts funding to the Administrative Office of the Courts by $4 million in each fiscal year (203-14 and 2014-15).
- Restores funding for 22 magistrates, and calls for a study of how magistrates are allocated throughout the state.
- Provides no funding for Drug Treatment Courts. The governor had proposed $3.6 million in funding for these courts, which he highlighted when he announced his budget.
- Lets Rep. Justin Burr have his way, changing the configuration of district courts in the eastern part of the state so that his county, Stanly County, is a stand-alone district.
- Does not cut funding for court reporters, but calls for a study on their use and compensation statewide.
- Does not transfer attorneys general to the agencies that they represent, but calls for a study and recommendations by the 2014 regular session.
- Cuts funding for the Prisoner Legal Services contract by $890,000. The governor had called for a $231,000 reduction.
- Reclassifies certain low-level offenses to misdemeanors punishable by fines, as opposed to jail time, resulting in a projected $2 million savings from not having to provide counsel for those so charged. (Under the Sixth Amendment and U.S. Supreme Court case law, only defendants charged with offenses punishable by jail time have a right to counsel). This means that those charged with such offenses can now be convicted — and have a criminal record with all the attendant collateral consequences — without counsel to represent them.
No new funding is provided for the courts, which continue to be understaffed, overworked and woefully behind the times in terms of technology.

The Force of Spirituality. Review Designed specifically for gaming, the Razer phone 2 is big, bright, and a little impractical to actually use. Ken Boyd, a lonely man fresh out of the loony bin, who sets out to kill those he deems responsible for his miserable life. Feature Lunar explorers, grumpy magicians, baby pork buns, and more. The story is, as all good stories are, so multilayered that it seems to evolve as time goes along.
RANDY SHOREs new cookbook Grow What You Eat, Eat What You Grow is now available at Chapters, Book Warehouse, Barbara-Jos Books to Cooks and Whole Foods. So, my Top Secret Garcinia experience was neither super impressive, nor super disappointing.
I did like that there were no jitters and no feelings of nausea (some of the other brands, like Simply Garcinia left me feeling a bit woozy on an empty stomach). The weight loss with Top Secret Nutrition was eh, average, but again, if you have a sensitive stomach, it's a pretty decent trade off. I would say though, still, that this was probably the third most effective brand I've tried with regards to actual number of pounds lost.

Beautiful effects and interplanetary drama isn't enough to make up for a terrible lead
When confederate soldier John Carter (Taylor Kitsch: Friday Night Lights) realizes he's on Mars, he is filled with wonder and amazement. I tell you this now, because it's hard to decipher what Carter thinks or feels since Kitsch plays him with a slack-jawed blankness that makes you wonder if there's enough air on the red planet to support brainwaves.
This is a shame, as the movie has been in development for 79 years. Disney should have waited for an even 80 and produced a film with a decent leading man.
The film is based on Edgar Rice Burrow's novel A Princess of Mars, published 100 years ago, and follows widower Carter, who misanthropically searches the dessert for a cave of gold and stumbles upon a portal to the fourth planet from the sun.
Here, the locals call Mars Barsoom and are in the midst of a nasty civil war. Two clans of humanoids are killing each other in hopes of ruling the land. Stuck in between are the Tharks, four-armed green centaur-like creatures who are the Native Americans in this thinly veiled Civil War metaphor.
For the North, we have Helium, a humanoid group that thrives on learning and science. For the South we have Zodanga, a moving parasitic city led by the thuggish Sab Than (Dominic West: The Hour).
So far Zodanga has been beating the snot out of Helium, thanks in large part to help from Therns — observers who control inter-planetary travel and amuse themselves by shaping world events.
Got all that? Ok, let's move on.
Sab Than offers an olive branch by way of a proposal: If Helium's sexy princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins: Ten Year) agrees to marry him, he'll stop killing everyone. The Heliumites are thrilled about this, except the young princess, who doesn't enjoy being treated like chattel. She is a warrior, expert diplomat and inventor — though she has yet to invent pants and spends the movie in a pair of metallic panties.
John Carter takes a long look at the leggy princess and joins with Helium against the evil Zondangans, with an assist from his pals the Tharks.
This could all lead to an exciting battle, pitting nations against one another. But don't get your hopes up.
This movie needs a hero, and what it got was a cardboard cutout with flowing locks and rock-hard abs. It's a shame that director Andrew Stanton (Toy Story series) could not bring his gift of infusing inanimate objects with life and personality to his first live-action feature, since Buzz Lightyear would have been a much more convincing space adventurer than Kitsch. At the very least some of the effects budget could have been allocated to animating his face.
It's a shame since everyone else in the movie seems to be trying so hard. Veteran British actors West, Ciaran Hinds and James Purefoy imbue their brief screen time with wit, humor and fun. Purefoy especially acts circles around Kitsch in a hilarious hostage sequence that's the brightest moment in the movie.
Even Willem Dafoe, whose distinct visage is absent from the screen, turns in a good performance as Tars Tarkas, the leader of the Tharks.
All is not lost on Barsoom. Stanton shows promise as a live-action director. His set piece battles are interesting, and his 3D imagery unobtrusive. Burroughs' story has never graced the big screen before, but you can see how his original ideas influenced sci-fi from Star Wars to Avatar.
Still, this is not a good movie: it's an overlong epic with a terrible hero. It's not worth 3D prices unless the studio finds a way to digitally edit a better actor into the lead. They can do that, right?
