Checking in on… the MVCPosted by Brian Goodman on February 15th, 2011
Patrick Marshall of White & Blue Review is the RTC correspondent for the Missouri Valley Conference
A Look Back
- Battle for Seeding—The last two weeks of the season will be about seeding for the MVC Tournament. No one wants to be the team that has to play four consecutive days for a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament. Indiana State, Creighton, Evansville, and Drake are fighting to stay out of that #7-seed hole.
- Unpredictable Valley—If you don't pay attention to the Missouri Valley Conference for a period of time, you will get lost on everything happening in the league with the surprise upsets and close games. Wichita State was beaten by Southern Illinois on their home court. Northern Iowa lost Lucas O'Rear and they have gone from a possible third straight MVC championship to trying to stay out of the play-in game in St. Louis. Last-place Bradley has won three of their last four after starting 0-11 in conference play. Indiana State and Evansville could finish in the top four, which has been unheard of. Hold on tight, it will be a crazy ride.
- Multiple Bids?—Joe Lunardi has had Missouri State and Wichita State in his bracket for the past couple of weeks and the Bears and Shockers have separated themselves in the Valley race. However, if the MVC wants to make sure they really are a multiple-bid league this season, Missouri State and Wichita State has a small margin of error. They will definitely need to win their Bracketbuster games this weekend and play into the finals of the MVC Tournament. At worst, one of the two will need to make the finals of the MVC tournament for the league to get two teams in this season. Otherwise, the MVC will again be a one-bid league for the fourth year in a row. With these odds, who knows who will win the conference tournament.
- Player of the Week— Kyle Weems, Missouri State—The potential MVC Player of the Year continues his march, averaging 23 points and six rebounds a game, which also includes 7-13 from three-point range in their two wins this week against Bradley and Illinois State. Those numbers come with only playing 28 minutes a game in both contests. Missouri State is very tough to stop when he gets going.
- Newcomer of the Week— Jake Odum, Indiana State—The freshman continues to lead the Sycamores. He averaged over 16 points, nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in their two wins this week against Illinois State and Drake. He drives the offense for Indiana State.
Power Rankings (Record) (Conference Record) (Last week rank)
- Missouri State (20-6) (12-3) (2)— The Bears are back on the winning track this week with wins over Bradley and Illinois State. Missouri State is known for man-to-man defense, but they broke out the zone last week and expect to see it more. They are winning the games they need to be winning and will need to continue that this week when they host Drake on Tuesday before stepping out of conference in the BracketBusters against Valparaiso.
- Wichita State (21-5) (12-3) (1)— Wichita State was stunned at home when Southern Illinois came to town and knocked off the Shockers. However they took that fury out on the road at Northern Iowa where they just shut down the Panthers and walked away with a dominant victory. The Shockers hope they have found their point guard in Joe Raglund. They will have a couple more big tests this week against the surging Evansville Purple Aces before hosting Virginia Commonwealth as one of the feature games on BracketBusters Friday night.
- Northern Iowa (18-9) (9-6) (3)—The Panthers have continued to struggle without Lucas O'Rear and have lost three games in a row since the injury. Coach Ben Jacobson says they miss O'Rear, but that they just need to play better. Northern Iowa is fading down the stretch and will likely be bunched up in the 3-7 positions in the conference and will need to get things going to get the best seed possible in the MVC Tournament, but there is no doubt that the rest of their season is in murky waters. They go to Bradley who have won three of the past four and then host George Mason in BracketBusters.
- Creighton (16-11) (8-7) (4)— Creighton is really struggling with winning on the road in the MVC. After starting 3-0 on the road to begin MVC play, the Bluejays have lost their last five on the road and continue to be lacking two to three plays a game that they need in order to win. Illinois State comes to town before hitting the road to Akron which would be a lot better matchup in men's soccer than men's basketball. They played a full 40 minutes against Southern Illinois on Sunday night, probably their first 40 full minutes of great play all season. Doug McDermott isn't Harrison Barnes, but he has made a splash this season of historic proportions.
- Indiana State (14-12) (9-6) (6)— Indiana State is back on the winning track after losing five in a row with wins over Illinois State and Drake this week. The Sycamores start what constitutes "the rest" of the MVC after the top three teams. The key here is seeding for the MVC tournament where that is their only chance to get to the NCAA Tournament. They go to Southern Illinois this week before hosting Morehead State as a part of the BracketBusters. Jake Odum is the one who makes or breaks the success for Indiana State. But their bench is pretty helpful too.
- Evansville (14-11) (8-7) (5)—The Purple Aces have had an up and down week, first, taking advantage of Northern Iowa's troubles and knocking them off, but then couldn't keep down last place Bradley. Scary, but if you look at teams that might make a run in the MVC Tournament and get the auto-bid for the NCAA Tournament, you could put some money on Evansville right now as they could be the surprise. Colt Ryan is known as their scorer, but senior Kavon Lacey has stepped up his game, making them tougher. They get to host Wichita State this week before getting a nice matchup in BracketBusters with Murray State. A couple wins here, and people will have to be on the lookout.
- Drake (11-15) (6-9) (7)—Drake's up and down season continues with a home victory against Creighton and a road letdown at Indiana State. Like Creighton, the Bulldogs have troubles winning on the road in conference play sitting at 1-6 in such contests. They hit the road again to Missouri State on Tuesday, so expect that record to go to 1-7. Then they host Detroit on Saturday. Ryan Wedel is trying to be the leader of this team and hopes to lead them into the improbable postseason.
- Bradley (9-17) (3-12) (8)—The Braves are all of a sudden the hottest team in the Valley right now and is creating headaches for the rest of the league. They have won three of their last four and gave Missouri State all they could handle in getting that one loss. They are now playing with nothing to lose and getting a couple wins makes them spoilers for the rest of the season. They try to spoil Northern Iowa's season on Tuesday before hitting the road to Tennessee-Martin in the BracketBuster matchup.
- Southern Illinois (11-15) (5-10) (10)—After having one of their worst weeks ever last week, the Salukis have bounced back to have an average one. First they knocked off Wichita State in one of the more surprising upsets of the season but then laid a huge egg against Creighton. The Salukis have suffered from recruiting the wrong players and the long term effects have been catastrophic and patience is wearing thin. They now get two home games this week with Indiana State and Wisconsin-Green Bay.
- Illinois State (11-15) (3-12) (9)—The Redbirds conference season has been full of streaks starting with losing their first eight, winning the next three, and are now suffering through another four game losing streak. Illinois State tried their best to spoil some things for Missouri State but just came up short. For a team that contended for conference championships the past few seasons, this has to be tough for Illinois State fans to understand why they have struggled so much this season. They hit the road this week at Creighton and then to Western Michigan.
A Look Ahead
The week starts with conference play, but then the big weekend of BracketBusters will be a big test for teams.
- 2/15—Wichita State @ Evansville (Local TV)—Evansville is still playing well and a win against Wichita State will really put a wrench into the conference race, and the outside possibility of the MVC getting two bids this season.
- 2/16—Indiana State @ Southern Illinois—Indiana State has one last run in them to finish in the top four in the league. It starts with Southern Illinois. The Salukis on the other hand are trying to save face for next season wondering if they will have a new coach or not.
- 2/18—Virginia Commonwealth @ Wichita State (ESPN2)—This is definitely one of the feature games of the Bracketbusters weekend and will be one not to miss. The CAA and the MVC have had some pretty good games over the past few seasons because of BracketBusters. The Shockers need this one to get a quality win on their resume that is clearly missing.
- 2/19—Missouri State @ Valparaiso (ESPN2)—This is the game that Missouri State fans wanted so they would not have to travel to the coasts for a game before the final week of MVC competition.
- 2/19—George Mason @ Northern Iowa (ESPN2)—Northern Iowa feels they still have something to prove and they need this game more than George Mason does. However, George Mason isn't coming to lose and what looked like a great matchup has now lost some luster.

Celsion Corporation Provides an Update Regarding ThermoDox® Agreements with Zhejiang HISUN Pharmaceutical Company for China
Exclusive Option Agreement Will Be Allowed To Expire While Celsion Conducts Sub-Group Analysis of Chinese Patient Cohort in Phase III HEAT Study
Companies' Technology Development Contract Remains in Force
Issuance of Additional Patents Extends Protection of ThermoDox® and Other Formulations To 2026 in Key Pacific Region Countries
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J., Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Celsion Corporation (NASDAQ: CLSN) today announced that Zheijang HISUN Pharmaceutical Company (HISUN) does not plan to pursue the exclusive option to license ThermoDox® for the Greater China market. Accordingly, the parties will not enter into the exclusive license agreement, and Celsion will not receive nor will it require any future payment for the option or license, as contemplated in the Exclusive Option Agreement announced on January 22, 2013. Celsion and HISUN have agreed that the Technology Development Contract entered into on January 18, 2013 will remain in effect while the parties continue to collaborate and are evaluating next steps in relation to ThermoDox®, which include the sub-group analysis of the Chinese cohort of patients in the Phase III Heat Study for the hepatocellular carcinoma clinical indication and other activities to further the development of ThermoDox® for the Greater China market .
Celsion also announced that its proprietary patent application, "Method of Storing Nanoparticle Formulations," has recently been allowed in China and granted in South Korea and Australia. Celsion holds an exclusive license agreement with Duke University for its temperature-sensitive liposome technology that covers the ThermoDox® formulation. Celsion's newly issued patents pertain specifically to methods of storing stabilized, temperature-sensitive liposomal formulations and will assist in the protection of global rights. These patents will extend the overall term of the ThermoDox® patent portfolio to 2026. The patents in these three countries are the first in this family, which includes pending applications in the U.S., Europe and additional key commercial geographies in Asia. This extended patent runway to 2026 allows for the evaluation of future development activities for ThermoDox and Celsion's heat-sensitive liposome technology.
"We have started the population sub-group analyses for the HEAT Study," said Michael H. Tardugno , Celsion's President and Chief Executive Officer. "While we understand HISUN's decision regarding the exclusive option for a license at this time, it is important to note that our Technology Development Contract remains in force and will do so pending the results of our sub-group analysis. Furthermore, our program for expanding patent coverage is intended to add long-term value to our drug pipeline, extending both the term of our ThermoDox® patent estate, supporting our multifaceted portfolio development and life-cycle management strategy, as well as broadening the breadth of patent protection around temperature-sensitive liposomal formulations."
Celsion ended 2012 with a strong balance sheet that provides the Company the opportunity to evaluate its future development plans. The Company projects its unaudited cash and investment balance to be approximately $23 million as of December 31, 2012 and approximately $27 million as of January 31, 2013.
About ThermoDox®
ThermoDox® is a proprietary heat-activated liposomal encapsulation of doxorubicin, an approved and frequently used oncology drug for the treatment of a wide range of cancers. ThermoDox® is being evaluated in a Phase III clinical trial for primary liver cancer (the HEAT study), a Phase II clinical trial for colorectal liver metastasis and a Phase II clinical trial for recurrent chest wall breast cancer. Localized mild hyperthermia (39.5 - 42 degrees Celsius) created by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) releases the entrapped doxorubicin from the liposome. This delivery technology enables high concentrations of doxorubicin to be deposited preferentially in a targeted tumor. On January 31, 2013, Celsion announced that ThermoDox® in combination with RFA did not meet the primary endpoint of the HEAT study in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, also known as primary liver cancer. Celsion will conduct additional analyses of the data from the HEAT study to assess the future strategic value of ThermoDox®.
About Celsion Corporation
Celsion is dedicated to the development and commercialization of innovative cancer drugs, including tumor-targeting treatments using focused heat energy in combination with heat-activated liposomal drug technology. Celsion has research, license or commercialization agreements with leading institutions, including the National Institutes of Health, Duke University Medical Center, University of Hong Kong, the University of Pisa, the UCLA Department of Medicine, the Kyungpook National University Hospital, the Beijing Cancer Hospital and the University of Oxford.

Every week, I'll excerpt a handful of stories — old and new, sports and otherwise, relevant and merely sublime — that I urge you to read for one reason or another. Send any suggestions to email@example.com.
From The Moviegoer, by Walker Percy (1961)
Suggested readers: New Orleanians, people like me who get mawkishly sentimental about New Orleans, moviegoers
Today I am in luck. Who should come out of Pirate's Alley half a block ahead of me but William Holden!
Holden crosses Royal and turns toward Canal. As yet he is unnoticed. The tourists are either browsing along antique shops or snapping pictures of balconies. No doubt he is on his way to Galatoire's for lunch. He is an attractive fellow with his ordinary good looks, very suntanned, walking along hands in pockets, raincoat slung over one shoulder. Presently he passes a young couple, who are now between me and him. Now we go along, the four of us, not twenty feet apart. It takes two seconds to size up the couple. They are twenty, twenty-one, and on their honeymoon. Not Southern. Probably Northeast. He wears a jacket with leather elbow patches, pipestem pants, dirty white shoes, and affects the kind of rolling seafaring gait you see in Northern college boys. Both are plain. He has thick lips, cropped reddish hair and skin to match. She is mousy. They are not really happy. He is afraid their honeymoon is too conventional, that they are just another honeymoon couple. No doubt he figured it would be fun to drive down the Shenandoah Valley to New Orleans and escape the honeymooners at Niagara Falls and Saratoga. Now fifteen hundred miles from home they find themselves surrounded by couples from Memphis and Chicago. He is anxious; he is threatened from every side. Each stranger he passes is a reproach to him, every doorway a threat. What is wrong? he wonders. She is unhappy but for a different reason, because he is unhappy and she knows it but doesn't know why.
Now they spot Holden. The girl nudges her companion. The boy perks up for a second, but seeing Holden doesn't really help him. On the contrary. He can only contrast Holden's resplendent reality with his own shadowy and precarious existence. Obviously he is more miserable than ever. What a deal, he must be thinking, trailing along behind a movie star — we might just as well be rubbernecking in Hollywood.
Holden slaps his pockets for a match. He has stopped behind some ladies looking at iron furniture on the sidewalk. They look like housewives from Hattiesburg come down for a day of shopping. He asks for a match; they shake their heads and then recognize him. There follows much blushing and confusion. But nobody can find a match for Holden. By now the couple have caught up with him. The boy holds out a light, nods briefly to Holden's thanks, then passes on without a flicker of recognition. Holden walks along between them for a second; he and the boy talk briefly, look up at the sky, shake their heads. Holden gives them a pat on the shoulder and moves on ahead.
The boy has done it! He has won title to his own existence, as plenary an existence now as Holden's, by refusing to be stampeded like the ladies from Hattiesburg. He is a citizen like Holden; two men of the world they are. All at once the world is open to him. Nobody threatens from patio and alley. His girl is open to him too. He puts his arm around her neck, noodles her head. She feels the difference too. She had not known what was wrong nor how it was righted but she knows now that all is well.
Holden has turned down Toulouse shedding light as he goes. An aura of heightened reality moves with him and all who fall within it feel it.
"Now You See Him, Now You Don't," by E.M. Swift (from Sports Illustrated, 1986)
Suggested readers: Colts fans, Baltimoreans, drunks
[Bob] Irsay's first great public explosion came in the third game of the 1974 season, in Philadelphia. Marty Domres was the Colts quarterback, a player Irsay had once humiliated in front of his teammates by shouting, "Nice game, Marty, too bad most of the passes you completed were to the wrong team." In the third quarter, Irsay, prowling the sideline, tugged on Schnellenberger's arm and suggested he replace Domres with Bert Jones. Schnellenberger declined, adding — and here history becomes a little fuzzy — either that Irsay should mind his own business or that Irsay should attempt an anatomical impossibility while minding his own business. Whatever, Irsay took offense. "He just wanted to be part of the team, be the type of owner who would have a beer with the guys and maybe arm wrestle after the game," recalls Curtis. "He really wanted us to like him. That's why he was down on the field to begin with. And Howard was no diplomat. It was just bad luck."
Irsay, apparently inebriated, according to several team sources, stormed into the dressing room after the game — the team's third straight defeat — and announced to the players that Schnellenberger was fired and that Thomas would be their new coach. The team almost lynched him. In the coach's office, Schnellenberger asked Ernie Accorsi, the Colts public relations director, what the ruckus was about. "I think he just fired you," Accorsi replied. Irsay charged in and confirmed it. Then he left in his limo. Thomas, meanwhile, couldn't get into the dressing room; he was held at bay by a security guard who was under orders not to open the room to the press. "There's a guy named Thomas demanding to get in," the guard told Accorsi.
Thomas was right behind him. "What's going on in here?"
"Irsay just fired Howard."
"That's not the worst news. He named you as head coach."
"You're no head coach, for god's sake," Mike Curtis said.
"You shut up."
It was true, though. Thomas didn't even know the team's playbook. And for the rest of the season — the Colts ended at 2-12 — Thomas would ask startling things like "Do we have a halfback option pass?" in third-or fourth-down situations. To which someone would answer, "Yes, Coach, we have three of them."

"Total Loss Weekend," by Don DeLillo (from Sports Illustrated, 1972)
Suggested readers: The badly beaten
Kool tells me about the time he and CJ took the Redskins minus 14 against New Orleans. "We had them big," he says. "We were so sure they would romp we called in a second bet just before kickoff. Everything goes pretty much like we figured up to the last few minutes. Then the Saints begin to move. They can't win the game. They're out of the game. But if they get a touchdown, we lose. And now they're moving down the field. We can't look. We're afraid to watch. First we turn off the sound. Then we go into the kitchen and take turns peeking out at the game. The Saints are definitely moving. They're running, they're throwing, they're full of life. The Redskins don't care. They got the game won. CJ and me, we start arguing about who picked the Redskins. Then we start laughing. We're afraid to look and we start laughing and coughing. The Saints call time out to conserve the clock. I can't stop coughing. I take a peek and the Saints are still moving, and I'm laughing and coughing and my eyes are full of tears."
Grown men, they began tickling one another, then throwing punches to the arm and chest. Neither would volunteer to go out, look at the game and report back. The tickling intensified and they tried to push each other out of the kitchen. Forced into the living room, unable to stop coughing and laughing, Kool finally looked at the set long enough to see one of the Saints standing in the end zone with the football. The next day he woke up to find that his face had slid down on one side and gone completely numb. The right corner of his mouth hung open. His right eye was at a slant. His voice took on a faintly metallic tone and every time he spoke his mustache dipped far to the right but nothing else moved, making it seem as though some kind of mechanism had rusted in his head. The doctor said it was nothing more than a nervous condition brought on by anxiety, and in 10 days Kool was back to normal.

"Fear and Loathing at the Superbowl," by Hunter S. Thompson (from Rolling Stone, 1973)
Suggested readers: Freak Power party members, 300-pound Samoan attorneys, Peter King
There is a dangerous kind of simple-minded Power/Precision worship at the root of the massive fascination with pro football in this country, and sportswriters are mainly responsible for it. With a few rare exceptions like Bob Lipsyte of The New York Times and Tom Quinn of the (now-defunct) Washington Daily News, sportswriters are a kind of rude and brainless subculture of fascist drunks whose only real function is to publicize & sell whatever the sports editor sends them out to cover....
Which is a nice way to make a living, because it keeps a man busy and requires no thought at all. The two keys to success as a sportswriter are: 1) A blind willingness to believe anything you're told by the coaches, flacks, hustlers and other "official spokesmen" for the team-owners who provide the free booze ... and: 2) A Roget's Thesaurus, in order to avoid using the same verbs and adjectives twice in the same paragraph.
Even a sports editor, for instance, might notice something wrong with a lead that said: "The precision-jack-hammer attack of the Miami Dolphins stomped the balls off the Washington Redskins today by stomping and hammering with one precise jack-thrust after another up the middle, mixed with pinpoint-precision passes into the flat and numerous hammer-jack stomps around both ends...."
Right. And there was the genius of Grantland Rice. He carried a pocket thesaurus, so that "The thundering hoofbeats of the Four Horsemen" never echoed more than once in the same paragraph, and the "Granite-grey sky" in his lead was a "cold dark dusk" in the last lonely line of his heart-rending, nerve-ripping stories....

Soldiers Missing in Action from Vietnam War Identified

U.S. Army 1st Lt. Paul G. Magers of Sidney, Neb., will be buried on Aug. 27 in Laurel, Mont., and Army Chief Warrant Officer Donald L. Wann of Shawnee, Okla., will be buried on Aug. 21 in Fort Gibson, Okla.
On June 1, 1971, both men were flying aboard an AH-1 Cobra gunship in support of an emergency extraction of an Army ranger team in Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam. After the rangers were extracted, helicopters were ordered to destroy claymore mines which had been left behind in the landing zone. During this mission their helicopter was hit by ground fire, crashed and exploded. Pilots who witnessed the explosions concluded that no one could have survived the crash and explosions.
Enemy activity in the area precluded a ground search.
In 1990, analysts from DPMO, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) and their predecessor organizations interviewed both American and Vietnamese witnesses and produced leads for field investigations. In 1993 and 1998, two U.S.-Socialist Republic of Vietnam teams, led by JPAC, surveyed the suspected crash site and found artifacts and debris consistent with a Cobra gunship. In mid-1999, another joint team excavated the site, but it stopped for safety reasons when the weather
deteriorated. No remains were recovered, but the team did find wreckage associated with the specific crash they were investigating.
The Vietnamese government subsequently declared the region within Quang Tri Province where the aircraft crashed as off-limits to U.S. personnel, citing national security concerns. As part of an agreement with JPAC, a Vietnamese team unilaterally excavated the site and recovered human remains and other artifacts in 2008. The Vietnamese returned to the site in 2009, expanded the excavation area and discovered more remains and additional evidence.
Forensic analysis, circumstantial evidence and the mitochondrial DNA match to the Magers and Wann families by the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory confirmed the identification of the remains.
For additional information on the Defense Department's mission to account for missing Americans, visit the DPMO Web site at http://www.dtic.mil/dpmo or call 703-699-1169.

Did you know that a Google search of "California wine" showcases between 23 and 46 million results at any given time? Or that owls, falcons, bats, chickens and sheep are among the animals that are used to help control pests and cultivate vineyards by many California winegrowers? With California's great culture of wine, there is significant interest in all aspects of the Golden State's wine and grapes, and an informative web site, www.discovercaliforniawine.com is a fun, easy-to-use tool that can help consumers learn more about the state's signature beverage.
As a sampling of what can be found on the web site, Wine Institute and the California Association of Winegrape Growers invite you to test your knowledge about California wine and offer the following facts with corresponding links to the site:
How much wine does California produce?
California is the leading wine producing state in the U.S. — making about 90 percent of all American wine — and there are wineries now in all 50 states.
Why does so much great wine and food come from California?
The size of the state and the diversity of its soils and climates mean that a vast array of fresh, seasonal crops thrive there. Winegrapes are one of 400 agricultural products produced in California, and more than 110 varieties of winegrapes are grown in the state.
What else can visitors to California's wineries do besides tasting wine?
More than 100 wineries offer art displays or fine art museums; 65 wineries feature restaurants; over 50 present music and theater performances, and 118 offer wine and food pairings. Other amenities include gardens, tours, wine classes and seminars, unique architecture and much more. To search these and other amenities, go to:
Does California make a lot of wine compared to other countries?
California is the fourth leading wine producer in the world, after Italy, France and Spain.
How many acres of winegrapes are planted in California?
526,000, though vineyards cover less than one percent of the state's terrain.
What is the most popular wine from California?
By volume, Chardonnay remains the leading varietal wine from California, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, White Zinfandel and Pinot Grigio.
What do Olympic Gold Medal figure skater Peggy Fleming, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, racecar driver Randy Lewis, "The Bachelor" reality TV star Andrew Firestone and football coach and former quarterback Dick Vermeil all have in common?
They are among the several celebrities who either own or co-own a California winery.
What is an appellation? How do I know where my wine comes from?
Wineries are required to put information on the label identifying where the grapes for the wine were grown, and the wine label term for this geographic origin is appellation. If the label says "California," then you know that 100% of the grapes were grown in the state (which is itself an "appellation)."
What does "estate grown" on a wine label mean?
"Estate grown" on the label means that the winery and the vineyard where all the grapes are grown are located in the same viticultural area. The winery owns or controls the vineyards, and the wine was made by the winery at its facility on the estate.
What's the difference between Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio?
No difference except the origin of the names. Pinot Gris takes its name from its pinkish-gray grapes ("gris" means "gray" in French and "grigio"—as the wine is called in Italy—means "gray" in Italian.)

Artist Documentaries You Have To Watch
When it comes to getting inspired, one of the greatest ways to do it is to watch an art documentary – or better yet, artists documentaries. In the history of film, fairly short but more than rich, there are many documentaries that tell the story of an artist's life, art and inspiration, letting us get an insight of what it's like to be someone like Banksy, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Ai Weiwei, Louise Bourgeois or Gerhard Richter. These films represent a visual portrait of the world's greatest contemporary artists, which allow us to get a glimpse of their lives beyond their artworks. Most of these documentaries were made quite recently and you can find them online, on entertainment websites such as Hulu, Netflix, Amazon or HuffPost. Among them, we have street art documentaries, as well as films that follow today's most renowned contemporary creatives of all spheres of the arts. If you're more of a proper movie lover, be sure to see our list of art history movies here!
Scroll down to check out the very best artist documentaries and films out there.
Ai Weiwei - Never Sorry
The 2012 movie Never Sorry follows the life and career of controversial Chinese dissident Ai Weiwei between the years of 2008 and 2010. During this time, the artist was preparing his exhibition at the Haus der Kunst in Munich in September 2009 and his 100 million-ceramic porcelain piece at the Tate Modern a year later. In the film, which also precedes his 2011 arrest, we can see Chinese government officials going after Ai Weiwei in a public restaurant, or how the artist takes care of his many cats. It was directed by American filmmaker Alison Klayman.

Gerhard Richter - Painting, The Documentary
One of the top-selling painters of today, whose works reach multi-million dollar prices at auctions around the world, German painter Gerhard Richter reveals some of his creativity secrets in the 2011 documentary entitled Painting. Directed by Corinna Belz, who also directed the 2007 short Gerhard Richter's Window, the film explores Richter's career of over fifty years by conducting intimate conversations with his critics, collaborators and gallerists, as well as through rare archive material.

Women Art Revolution - The Feminist Art Documentary
In an incredible visual story of how the Feminism Art Movement changed the arts since the 1960s, artist and art historian Lynn Horseman Leeson offers a marvelous movie. Seeking to explore the "secret" history of feminist art, !Women Art Revolution, or !W.A.R. offers archive footage and interviews with famous female artists like the Guerrilla Girls, Judy Chicago, Yoko Ono, Barbara Kruger, Miriam Schapiro and Ingrid Sischy, among many others. The 2011 film was part of the official selection at festivals like Sundance and TIFF.
The Woodmans - The Life of The Photographer
Francesca Woodman was without a doubt a talent whose self-portraits contributed greatly to the medium of photography. She tragically ended her own life in 1981, at the age of 22, leaving behind her photographs prematurely. The 2011 film The Woodmans gathers the artist's family members and peers, whose talk about her legacy is accompanied by a series of videos, photographs and excerpts from Francesca Woodman's personal diary. Directed by Scott Willis, the film was the winner of an Emmy award, as well as top New York Documentary at Tribeca Film Festival 2010.
Basquiat, The Radiant Child
Director Tamra Davis met Jean-Michel Basquiat back in 1985, and she decided to casually interview him, as well as an array of people close to him and those who were acquainted with his artworks back in the day, such as Larry Gagosian, Maripol, Julian Schnabel, Kenny Scharf, Glenn O'Brien and more. The first, 20-minute version of Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child documentary was shown at the 2006 Sundance, while the feature-length movie, including the above mentioned interviews, came out in 2010. It is a great insight into the other side of the immortal artist.

Louise Bourgeois - The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine
Directed by Marion Cajori and Amei Wallach, Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine is a 2008 video dedicated to one of the most important artists of the 20th century. Two years before her death in 2010, at the age of 98, the film talks about the artist's extraordinary oeuvre and the intriguing story of her childhood, which influenced much of her artwork. By revealing details about her life, Louise Bourgeois sheds some light on her creative process, spanning over six decades. At the age of 71, the French-American artist became the first woman honored with a major retrospective at the MoMA in 1982.
Guest of Cindy Sherman
In a curious visual representation of the world's biggest female photographer right now, the film captures the relationship between the artist and Paul H-O, the New York art scene fixture and the host of the public access show GalleryBeat, popular in the 1990s. In the video, there is no formal interview with Cindy Sherman, but only footage of the couple flirtings and falling in love, while drawing our focus to the fact that Paul H-O is having a hard time handling his girlfriend's growing fame. It was all filmed during the course of 15 years, and it also features conversations with many art and entertainment world stars.
Waste Land - A Vik Muniz Documentary
In 2010, Brazilian photographer Vik Muniz participated in an interesting two-year project which took place at the world's largest open-air garbage dump, in collaboration with the local trash pickers – Gramacho catadores. Known for his portraits made of unconventional materials such as peanut butter, sugar or syrup, the artist created classical photographic portrait compositions made of scavenged garbage on site. Vick Muniz donated the proceedings made from sales made during the filming of Waste Land to the people of Gramacho landfill, drawing attention to its poor state and changing many lives in the process.
Our City Dreams - Five Female Artists in NY
Filmed over the course of two years in New York, Our City Dreams is one of the most interesting artist documentaries out there. It focuses on the lives of five prominent female artists who call NY home: Swoon, Ghana Amer, Kiki Smith, Marina Abramovic and Nancy Spero, telling the tale of the city through the artists' many artistic creations – from Swoon's street art and Abramovic's performance pieces, to Amer's naked women, Spero's bloody phalluses and Kiki Smith's extraordinary drawings and sculptures. Director Chiara Clemente superbly captures the talents of each woman individually, while painting a single picture of a city of art.
Banksy Does New York - Going After Him
In October 2013, the great Banksy visited New York for an artist residency called Better Out Than In. It was an exciting time to be there, with street artworks and events popping up on every corner. The 2014 documentary Banksy Does New York, director Chris Moukarbel shows 31 days of mystery, during which he did not focus on finding Banksy, but on telling about his stay in the city through the very series of pieces he painted by tracking down Instagram posts, Tweets, YouTube videos and Banksy's own posts via his website. The HBO movie has been very successful, and if you're a fan of Banksy's, it is definitely a must-see.
Mapplethorpe - Look at the Pictures
Directed and executive produced by Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey, Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures is the latest documentary on the celebrated photographer. It explores his fascination with magic and sex twenty five years after his death, in the first and most complete film of its kind ever since. The movie features interviews with Robert Mapplethorpe's former lovers, his older sister Nancy and youngest brother Edward, as well as a number of rediscovered interviews with the artist himself, who becomes the narrator of his own tale, talking about his life, loves and work.
Cutie and the Boxer - Noriko and Ushio Shinohara
A 2013 American documentary film, Cutie and the Boxer focuses on the chaotic 40-year marriage of the boxing painter Ushio Shinohara and his wife Noriko, featuring their original artwork. Ushio Shinohara is a small player in the contemporary art world, known for painting with a pair of paint-soaked boxing gloves. Noriko, who is more than 20 years younger than Ushio, set aside her own career to raise their son Alex and serve as Ushio's unpaid assistant, receptionist and chef. Today, they hold a joint art opening at a SoHo gallery.
Marina Abramovic - The Artist is Present
This feature-length documentary film follows the artist as she prepares for what may be the most important moment of her life: a major retrospective of Marina Abramović's performance at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. From March 14 to May 31, 2010, she was the author of biggest exhibition of performance art in MoMA's history. The film shows the highlights of the performance, among which there is her emotional encounter with former lover and collaborator Ulay. Marina Abramović: The Artist Is Present is a mesmerizing and intimate portrait of a woman who draws no distinction between life and art. The "godmother of performance art," she has been using her own body as a vehicle for over 40 years.
David Hockney - A Bigger Picture
Filmed over three years, this documentary is an unprecedented record of a major artist at work. It captures David Hockney's return from California to his native Yorskhire, outside, through the seasons and in all weathers. It tells the story of a homecoming and gives a revealing portrait of what inspires and motivates today's greatest living British-born artist. The Times London described the film as "the best anyone will ever make about Hockney's process" and it features almost an hour of bonus materials.

BALTIMORE – The UMBC women's soccer team, behind first-year head coach Leslie Wray, open the 2012 campaign against a pair of Patriot League opponents this weekend. The Retrievers open the year on Friday, Aug. 17 when they host Lafayette at 7 p.m. at the Retriever Soccer Park. UMBC continues its weekend with an away game against Navy on Sunday, Aug. 19 at 1 p.m., at the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility.
Admission into the Retriever Soccer Park will be free for Friday's game or a live stream of the contest can be purchased online at www.umbcretrievers.tv, while live stats for both contests can be found on www.umbcretrievers.com.
Wray begins her UMBC coaching stint after a five-year hiatus from the collegiate coaching ranks. The Retrievers return 10 starters and 12 letterwinners from a year ago, including 2011 America East All-Conference Second Team honoree Rachel McKee (Ellicott City, Md./Mount Hebron), who tallied a team-best seven goals and 14 points last season. Earlier this week, McKee was named to the CollegeSportsMadness.com America East 2012 Preseason All-Conference First Team.
Lauren Kadet (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) returns for her junior year after amassing 203 saves in her first two seasons, ranking fifth all-time at UMBC. In 2011, Kadet led the conference in saves per game (6.33) and ranked third in saves (95).
UMBC welcomes nine newcomers to its roster this season, each of whom will look to make an immediate impact with the Retrievers in 2012.
The Leopards enjoyed a successful 2011 campaign, earning the No. 2 seed in the Patriot League Tournament. Lafayette ended its season in the conference semifinals, however, falling to Navy, 3-2, concluding the year with its best overall mark since 2001 when it went 9-6-2.
Four Leopards earned post-season honors a year ago, led by Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Year Lauren Smedley. Smedley, who enters her final season at Lafayette, has posted eight shutouts in each of the past two campaigns.
Navy tied for second with Lafayette in the Patriot League in 2011, posting a 13-6-3 overall mark and a 4-2-1 record in league play. The Mids return eight starters and 18 letterwinners from a team that advanced to the Patriot League title game last season.
Ashlynn Soellner, Navy's leading goal-scorer in each of the past two seasons, returns for her junior season after earning All-Patriot League First Team and All-Mid-Atlantic Second Team honors a year ago.

Is Spain the greatest national soccer team ever? Stats say hang on a minute
Following Spain's dismantling of Europe's national soccer elite, culminating in Sunday's 4-0 thrashing of Italy, it is reasonable to ask whether they are the greatest national team ever assembled.
They have won back-to-back European championships, sandwiched around a World Cup title two years ago. It is an impressive run.
But from 1958 to 1970, Brazil won three of four World Cups. It was an unprecedented and as-yet unrepeated run of world dominance. Those teams had a common denominator in Pele' but he was hardly solely responsible for their brilliance.
On the contrary, in 1958 he didn't start for the squad until the third game of group stage and in 1962, he was injured in the second game and didn't return in the tournament. In 1966, he was brutalized by Portugal in the group stage and Brazil failed to advance, which only led to the assemblage of what World Soccer magazine voted last year as the best team ever.

Among things you may have missed during NBA All-Star Weekend: Rapper Kid Cudi being tasered by police in an altercation over athletic shoes. Ha.
It was at the Reebok party during All-Star Weekend on Friday night in Phoenix, where Cudi (real name Scott Mescudi) was booked to perform. Reportedly, Cudi got into an altercation with Reebok employees who did not want him wearing Jordans on the stage. Cudi became belligerent, the police were called, and a tasering ensued. Although handcuffed, it is not clear whether Cudi was arrested. Allen Iverson also attended the party.
The incident has caught the attention of various rap artists including Talib Kweli.
"Kid Cudi got into an argument because he wanted to perform at a Reebok party with Jordans on and then got tasered by popo," Kweli wrote unmodified on Twitter. Is this true? Arizona police go hard on us, DMX, Tyson, Barkley, Cudi...Kid Cudi REALLY dont like Reeboks, huh? (Talib Kweli's Twitter)
If anyone has further information, Twitter me.

It looks like hero Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger is not quite done with his 15 minutes of fame.
The retiredDanville, Calif., pilot who splash landed his U.S. Airways plane in the event known as "the Miracle on the Hudson" has now agreed to a movie deal.
Variety Magazine is reporting that Sully signed on with producers Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy to do an adaptation of Sullenberger's book "Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters."
The book goes in depth on Sully's life both before and after the famous landing.
The incident itself only lasted three and a half minutes from take off and until Sully and his crew safely landed Flight 1549 into the Hudson River in New York City.
Variety says both Sullenberger and his wife Lorrie will be consultants on the film, which will probably end up a TV movie.
Apparently, other studios had approached Sully before, but he was reluctant to sign on until after he met fellow hero pilot Harrison Ford. The two happen to meet at an aviation event and the topic of the movie came up.
Ford, who is not part of the deal, recommended Marshall and Kennedy -- and the rest, as they say, is history.
Marshall told Variety that it was his lucky day.
"Kathy and I have always been attracted to regular people in extraordinary situations," Marshall said. "This guy is a true American hero. What I love about this story is that it's positive at a time when everything is negative."
Although it looks like Ford will not be playing Sully, the movie will likely be must see moment whenever and however it airs.

Marianne embodies the Republic. A personification of liberty and reason, and a portrayal of the Goddess of Liberty, her bust is present in every city hall in France. Her face is also drawn on stamps. The name Marianne enabled the French people to take over the newborn Republic, by creating a popular figure with whom French people could easily identify. * Wikipedia.

GREENCASTLE, Ind. - An undefeated season, NCAC Championship, and resounding Bell Victory isn't a bad way to end the regular season. The Wabash College defense was dominating in a 45-7 thrashing of DePauw in the 118th Monon Bell Classic.
View photos from the Little Giants' victory here, here, and here.
Few people expected anything like a repeat of the 2010 Wabash 47-0 win. But it started to feel that way in the first quarter when the Little Giants had the host Tigers (4-5) reeling after putting 24 points on the board.
"I thought our defense played great and obviously we played well on special teams," Coach Erik Raeburn said. "Offensively, it wasn't pretty but we did what we had to do. We didn't turn the ball over. When the defense is playing like that you just have to protect the football."
Who would ever have thought Wabash could complete just two passes and score 45 points? None of that mattered to the Wabash defense.
"Our defense wanted turnovers," said defensive captain CJ Gum, who led all tacklers with 16 stops, and 10 of those were solo. "We wanted to score on our own without the offense. If the offense isn't playing right, then the defense has to hold them up and do what we can."
To say the defense did plenty is something of an understatement.
Two plays later Vann Hunt was in the end zone on a 33-yard run, 10-0.
King failed on two passes in the next series then completed one to Wabash's Jonathan Koop who returned it 22 yards for 17-0.
"I was reading the quarterback, he threw it and I just snagged it," Koop said. "It was a nice little gift. Then, I just ran into the end zone."
Bad then went to worse for DePauw. The Little Giant defense forced another three and out resulting in a Tiger punt to Wes Chamblee. The senior, who entered the game third in D-3 in punt returns, took the ball on the 44, split two defenders, and no one could catch him before he reached the end zone, 24-0.
"We had some pressure on the punter and he was trying to kick into the wind," Raeburn said. "It was a low one. Wes caught it on the run and found a hole on the right side of their coverage and it turned into a huge play."
Wabash's lone scored in the third quarter was thanks to tremendous defensive pressure. King was sacked at the goal line by freshman AJ Akinribade causing a fumble. Pat Clegg was there to fall on the ball in the end zone for 31-0.
DePauw broke a seven quarter scoreless streak against Wabash with a Jon Ellis five-yard score after a short Wabash punt, 31-7. But the defense wasn't done scoring – not by a long shot. After a Wabash three-and out, Denzel Wilkins picked off a King pass and returned it 28 yards for another Wabash TD, 38-7.
"We haven't been getting as many turnovers as we did earlier in the year," Raeburn said. "These last two weeks we've done a great job taking the ball away and I couldn't be prouder of how we played today.
"It's hard to win 10 games, for sure, I'm real proud of the guys getting over the 9-0 jinx in the Bell Game. We made sure that wasn't going to happen this year."
A huge Wabash crowd awash in white was noisy from the beginning. Numerous players cited the student, alumni, and community support.
"My biggest memory of these last three years is probably the atmosphere," Gum said. "Getting to play in this type of game with all the fans is special. No one else in the nation in our division gets to play in an atmosphere like this."
"This is unbelievable," Buresh said. "The atmosphere is amazing and it's just a lot of fun."
The Little Giant defense collected two sacks, seven tackles for loss to go along with the three interceptions.
It was again the Wabash running attack that made the difference on offense. The Little Giants picked up 159 yards rushing on 31 carries to DePauw's 39 yards.
The stiff breeze made any passing game tricky. Chase Belton finished 2-11 for 21 yards. He rushed for a net 38. Tyler Burke took over in the second half after Belton suffered a minor injury. Chamblee caught the only two Little Giant completed passes for 21 yards.
Vann Hunt rushed for 59 yards. Tyler Holmes and Troy Myers added 25 and 21, respectively.
Wabash now leads the all-time series 56-53-9. The Little Giants also tied up the series for games contested for the Monon Bell, 37-37-6. The estimated attendance was 8100 at Blackstock Stadium.

Chris Brown checked himself in and out of jail in a matter of minutes on Monday, for charges stemming from his alleged hit-and-run case back in May.
According to Los Angeles Sheriff's Department records, Brown turned himself in at 2:40 p.m. at Van Nuys Valley Jail, and was released at 3:22 p.m. with no bail set. A rep for the singer noted that getting booked was the next necessary step in having a judge actually hear Brown's case.
"Two counts against Chris Brown were dismissed yesterday in relation to the Hit and Run charge to which Chris pleaded Not Guilty," Brown's rep said in a statement. "In order for the charge to be heard by a judge, Chris has to be officially booked. We expect this charge to be dismissed as well, as the lawyer for the driver in this case clearly specified that his client did not want to press charges."
It's not uncommon for Los Angeles residents booked on misdemeanor charges to be set free quickly based on their own recognizance, due to overcrowding in the L.A. jails. Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Nicole Richie have all checked in and out just as fast in the past.
Brown now faces just one misdemeanor charge in the alleged hit-and-run case from May 21 — the actual charge of hit-and-run — to which he has pleaded "not guilty." The charges of driving without insurance and driving without a valid license were both dismissed.
Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, told omg! that Chris has reached an agreement with Olga Kovalenko, the other driver involved in the incident, and that he's asking the judge to have this last charge dismissed as well.
On July 15, Brown had his probation (which stemmed from the 2009 beating of his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna) revoked due to the hit-and-run incident. He is due back in court on August 16 for a hearing regarding his probation.
And it looks like the media scrutiny and legal pressure may finally be getting to Chris. On Tuesday morning, he tweeted that he's planning to stop making albums soon:
Don't worry mainstream America.After this X album, it'll probably be my last album.

Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent. I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I'm cool & over it!
— Chris Brown (@chrisbrown) https://twitter.com/chrisbrown/statuses/364741189766889472">August 6, 2013
Maybe just taking a break would be a better idea? The singer was photographed out late the night before his arrest. He was seen (pictured above) leaving AV nightclub in Hollywood at around 2 a.m.
Brown's next album, "X" is scheduled to drop on August 20. He recently released his latest single, "Love More," featuring Nicki Minaj.

Marc Asnin: Uncle Charlie
Exhibition: November 8 – December 22, 2012
Opening Reception: November 8th, 6-8 PM
Steven Kasher Gallery presents Marc Asnin: Uncle Charlie, an unprecedented long-term documentary project that details the life of the artist's uncle and godfather, Charles Henschke. It portrays Charlie's struggle with mental illness, isolation, poverty and familial relationships. Asnin chose to use photography as the means to reconnect with Uncle Charlie. The result is a journey that became an obsession to confront, examine, and understand disturbing truths about his uncle and family. The exhibition will feature over 25 black and white photographs and will launch the book Uncle Charlie by Marc Asnin (Contrasto, 2012).
"There are few portraits in recent American photography more intimate or remarkable than Marc Asnin's Uncle Charlie series." Michael Kimmelman The New York Times
Marc Asnin has been photographing Uncle Charlie for thirty years. By the early 1980s when Asnin was studying photography, the reality of his uncle's life had trampled his boyhood admiration. As a child Asnin was inspired by Uncle Charlie as a streetwise strong guy with a gun. Charlie and his five children (Charles, Joe, Brian, Mary, and Jamie) lived together in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Over the years, Charlie became increasingly frail, depressed and emotionally vacant. Unable to work, unable to even leave his apartment, Charles Henschke became a shell of a human being.
"People often ask me what Uncle Charlie is about. After thirty years, one would think I would be able to easily sum it up. But this work is life, raw unintelligible life; the life of one man, my uncle. It's about broken dreams, disappointment, and having the resiliency to find slivers of happiness in an oppressed existence. It's about consequences, missed opportunities, delusions and loss. It's a collaboration of sorts: his words and my images. It's my dance with my godfather." Marc Asnin
Marc Asnin is based in New York, and has been photographing for more than thirty years. He developed his curiosity for photography as a child growing up in Brooklyn, inspired by his father, an advertising photographer. His various awards include the W. Eugene Smith Grant, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Mother Jones Documentary Award, and the Alicia Patterson Fellowship.
Asnin's work has been exhibited around the world, including: Baltimore Museum of Art, Houston Fotofest, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Museum of the City of New York. Permanent collections that include Mr. Asnin's work include: Museum of the City of New York, Schomburg Center, Howard Stein Collection, International Center of Photography, and the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American Art.
Marc Asnin: Uncle Charlie will be on view in conjunction with the exhibition Leon Levenstein November 8th through December 22nd, 2012. Steven Kasher Gallery is located at 521 W. 23rd St., New York, NY 10011. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 AM to 6 PM. For more information or press requests please contact Christiona Owen at 212 966 3978 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

It is not every day that I decide to go for a hike carrying a 40-pound pack and bring my too kind and loving wife along with her very own 35-pound pack. Most people thought that carrying a pack should come natural to me; as many have called me a beast of burden. I don't think they used such civil words "ass" that, "butt" it was something like that.
My too kind and loving wife and her sister called me a beast of burden pretty much the entire trip. My brother-in-law doesn't say much; but then again he has only been married to my sister-in-law for some 25 years so I am sure that it isn't his turn to speak yet.
So our adventure was to hike into Havasuapi, a canyon tributary to the Grand Canyon. What makes this trip unique is that there are spectacular waterfalls and that if you want to see them you either hike in, charter a helicopter, or ride a burro.
Based on our youthful exuberance and stupid group think, we decide to hike carrying all our provisions. We are well trained athletes, so you shouldn't try this unless you can drink a 32 oz Pepsi; eat a bag of Doritos, and down a bag of jerky without ill effect. This concoction can be lethal in a zipped up airtight tent coupled with four hours of sweating like Richard Simmons in a donut factory.
We were very serious about this whole thing so our training consisted of watching exercise videos and a couple of You-tube instructional videos on how to properly pack a back-pack. I would have thought that my too kind and loving wife would be better at this, as she comes from pioneer stock that pulled hand-carts across the plains.
You would assume they didn't get to bring everything with them; good thing my wife was not there because we would have needed a semi-truck.
After she packs her bag and goes to the store for even more provisions, I check her bag and compare it to the list I got from the instructional You-tube video.
While she wasn't looking I took out the curling iron, 14 pairs of shoes, three outfits, twelve-inch dutch-oven and her laptop (she is in the middle of a Shutterfly project).
I might add that we were only going overnight. I had planned this trip down to the last detail, including the dehydrated eggs for breakfast and granola bar for our rest break.
The first two miles includes a drop in elevation of nearly 3,000 feet; which we learned upon our return must certainly be nearly 6000 feet as sure as I am tall, dark, and handsome.
It was a little disconcerting that even the burros looked tired coming up the hill. Several looked like they were quitting and going to do easier things, like haul pallets of brick over the Rockies.
We hiked eight miles to the Supai Indian Village where you meet with the park rangers, who cheerfully lighten your load some by taking all your money. After being robbed by the Rangers and a brief rest, we cheerfully head down the last two miles to the campground and see the first waterfall.
They are spectacular and we are all convinced that it was worth it… until we try to get up from the rock we were sitting on. For some reason our muscles don't work anymore. Acute rigamortis has set in and if my sister-in-law could move she would come over and slap me; but I am safe for now. We see another train of burros heading up the dusty trail and she looks at me and says, "There is such a family resemblance."

Developing a
Grateful Heart...
a Splendid Goal!
There are times in life when our hearts overflow with gratitude-at the birth of a child, when we receive a word of encouragement from an old friend, while watching a beautiful sunset, or even an illness that challenges us. Each one is a gift in its own way if we take time to see it. But can we express deep gratitude ? Not just on special occasions or no Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"It's possible." claims author Karen O'Connor. "With this deeper sense of gratitude, we can enjoy richer, more fulfilling lives and be a blessing to others at the same time."
For forty days, the reader will come to experience God's gifts more fully and find inexpressible joy of his faithfulness and love. Be amazed at the many blessings received:
* rekindling joy
* restoring humility
* repairing broken relationships
* releasing past hurts

Armerin, Frederik; Björk, Tomas; Astrup Jensen, Bjarne (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We investigate the possibility of an arbitrage free model for the term structure of interest rates where the yield curve only changes through a parallel shift. We consider HJM type forward rate models driven by a multidimensionalWiener process as well as by a general marked point process. Within this general framework we show that there does indeed exist a large variety of nontrivial parallel shift term structure models, and we also describe these in detail. We also show that there exists no nontrivial flat term structure model. The same analysis is repeated for the similar case, where the yield curve only changes through proportional shifts. Key words: bond market, term structure of interest rates, flat term structures. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7137

AC/DC Says When We Can Expect Their New Album
For a band that began their career by putting out 12 albums in the first 15 years of their career, AC/DC have become almost invisible as a studio entity in the ensuing 22 years. Despite still having massive global appeal, they've only released three albums since 1990′s 'The Razor's Edge,' and nothing since 2008′s 'Black Ice.'
Hopes were raised back in January when singer Brian Johnson said that he hoped the boys would get back together at some point this year. However, a recent interview with guitarist Malcolm Young has put the kibosh on dreams of a new AC/DC album appearing soon.
"You know what Brian's like," Young told Classic Rock. "He just says things and then walks away. It'll be a little while – a year or two anyway.
"I've been doing some jamming on some song ideas but I do that all the time, as do the rest of the band," Young continued. "We are still working. But we had a long rest between 'Stiff Upper Lip' and 'Black Ice,' so I think we need a couple of years to recuperate and work on it a bit more."
So that's the news straight from Malcolm Young's mouth. Nothing new from AC/DC until 2013 at the earliest. Until then, we'll just keep playing our copy of 'Back in Black,' whose title song recently finished at No. 4 on our list of the Top 100 Classic Rock Songs.
