...keeps telling himself "I really don't want the pizza" ends up obsessing about ... pizza. Rather, Hayes and the roughly 12,000 students and professionals who have been trained in his formal psychotherapy, which is called acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), say we should acknowledge that negative thoughts recur throughout life. Instead of challenging them, Hayes says, we should concentrate on identifying and committing to our values. Once we become willing to feel negative emotions, he argues, we will find it easier to figure out what life should be about and get on with it. That's easier said than...
...Jordans also offered themselves as the perfect base material for mock tribal masks because their blacks, whites and reds, borrowed from the uniform of the NBA's Chicago Bulls, are also the colors that recur in carvings of coastal native peoples, especially the Haida. In the flash of an eye, tribal palette becomes team colors and vice versa. Native tribes and sports tribes flicker back and forth in the same slightly comic, slightly menacing face...
...himself whiplash. Then, as soon as the song finished, the technical difficulties began. A minute dragged into five, and no one in the band stepped forward to fill the relative silence with idle chit-chat or weird Canadian jokes. Talk about a momentum killer.

Degas’ statues of ballet dancers are placed at the same level as drawings of girls in the exact same poses, making the interplay of line and form more obvious.Wolohojian particularly drew my attention...
...housing more evacuees than any other state. On Tuesday, all that generosity seemed to backfire when a group of Katrina kids billeted in the Astrodome rumbled with local Texans at one of Saavedra's schools, sending five students to jail and three to a hospital. The scene did not recur, but by Thursday, Saavedra had an even greater problem: math. The long-term cost of serving 4,700 evacuee students, times an average estimated annual student cost of $7,500, equals a total of $35.2 million-- and the pre-hurricane Bush Administration commitment was only 9% of pupil cost...
