The Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville opened in April 2001, and since that time has hosted art exhibits from the region, the country, and around the world.  The traveling exhibits fill a magnificent Art Deco building that housed a post office.  Martin ArtQuest Gallery, the Frist Center’s colorful interactive space on the upper level, has thirty hands-on stations to inspire visitors of all ages to become artists as they learn about art.  Frist Center Café offers a variety of fresh fare to visitors on the run as well as those desiring a more leisurely dining experience.  Made fresh daily by the culinary staff, items offered include quick snacks, deli sandwiches, entrees for the health conscious, soups, salads, fresh fruit and a bakery case filled with desserts.  Ask about daily specials and what beers and wines are available.  Current exhibits are:

A typical juror may have a footprint on the Web for lawyers to use in their screening.  Most useful are often the public sections of their Facebook and Twitter pages, which can offer an even closer look into a juror’s  upbringing, philosophical leanings, religious affiliations, as well as favorite sports teams and celebrities.  In a July article Washington, D.C.-based lawyers from Gilbert LLP asked, how far lawyers can go in using social media to research potential jurors?

I suppose most investors in North America would be familiar with the term, “There’s gold in them thar hills, boys,” not knowing that it was a quote from a Mark Twain book set in California.  But Mark Twain didn’t invent the phrase, he stole it.  Or borrowed it depending on how you view it.  Gold was discovered at Sutter’s Creek in California in 1848.  As with the Alaska gold rush later, people were actually well aware of gold in California before 1848 but it took the mania created by the Sutter Mill discovery to make a real “Gold Rush.”  The main gold mining region of the United States at the time was in the Carolinas in the Carolina Slate Belt.  This gold belt actually extends all the way from Alabama up through Newfoundland and into Cornwall and Devon in England.  If you look at a map of Newfoundland and a map of England, it’s obvious they were once connected.  Gold has been found in Devon that is virtually identical to gold found in Newfoundland.  A young boy in North Carolina named Conrad Reed in 1799 found the first gold found in the United States in commercial quantity.  That started our nation’s first gold rush and soon a mint was founded in Charlotte North Carolina to turn that gold into coins.  The same act that created the Charlotte mint provided for another mint in Dahlonega, Georgia.  It was in early 1849 that the director of the mint at Dahlohnega, Dr. M.F. Stephenson spoke from the steps of the mint building in a futile attempt to convince the miners to remain in Georgia to mine rather than to flock to California to chase what might be an impossible dream.  “There’s gold in them thar hills, boys,” he shouted as he pointed at the hills  Bob Moriarty  http://www.lewrockwell.com/spl3/theres-gold-in-them-thar-hills.html

Sybil Anne Rivers (b. 1936) was born in Atlanta, Georgia, raised in Fairburn, Georgia, and attended Auburn University where she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta Sorority.  While at Auburn she wrote a column for the student newspaper, The Auburn Plainsman, that favored integration.  The university administration attempted to suppress the column, and ultimately fired her, and the column garnered national attention.  She later became a senior editor for Atlanta magazine.  At the age of thirty she married Heyward Siddons, and she and her husband now live in Charleston, South Carolina, and spend summers in Maine.  Peachtree Road, set in Atlanta, was a bestselling novel described as "the Southern novel for our generation" by Pat Conroy.  More than a million copies are in print.  In 1989 her book Heartbreak Hotel became a movie titled Heart of Dixie, which starred Ally Sheedy, Virginia Madsen, Phoebe Cates, Treat Williams, Kyle Secor and Peter Berg.  Siddons's book The House Next Door was adapted for a made-for-television movie that aired in 2006 on Lifetime Television, starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Colin Ferguson, and Lara Flynn Boyle.  The film tells the story of a woman who is drawn to a home filled with an evil presence that preys on its inhabitants’ weaknesses.  Siddons recently signed a three-book contract with Warner Books and has finished work on her latest novel, titled Off Season, released August 13, 2008.  Her novel "Burnt Mountain" made many best books of the year lists in 2011.  Stephen King, in his non-fiction review of the horror medium, Danse Macabre, listed "The House Next Door" as one of the finest horror novels of the 20th Century, and provides a lengthy review of the novel in its "Horror Fiction" section.

Artist Michael Pilato initially unveiled the mural "Inspiration" 12 years ago in downtown State College, Pa.  Lately, he's had to make a few changes.  Pilato made one recently, removing the halo over former football coach Joe Paterno amid Penn State's child sex abuse scandal.  The artist had added the halo after Paterno's death in January.  Pilato added a large blue ribbon, instead, on Paterno's lapel symbolizing support for child abuse victims, a cause the artist said Paterno had endorsed.  Pilato earlier removed Sandusky from the mural, which is 100 feet wide, 24 feet tall and depicts notable public figures from Penn State and the surrounding community, and replaced him with a large blue ribbon similar to one added to Paterno's suit.  "Really, it's been something I've been thinking about since I did it," Pilato told Reuters of the halo.  "As a public artist, you've got to listen to the public and I started to hear the public, and I wish I hadn't put (the halo) up there to tell you the truth."  http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/story/2012-07-14/joe-paterno-mural-halo-painted-over/56228106/1
