The fall/winter exhibits include: - Brush Drawings of Ted DeGrazia (1945-1963): Bold, fluid works created without a pen, capturing children at play, ballerinas in motion, cowboys, horses, musicians, and miners. - Ceramic Paintings of Ted DeGrazia: Figurative works painted on ceramic plates and sculptural forms, featuring beloved subjects like angels, madonnas, roadrunners, and petroglyph-inspired designs. - DeGrazia's Pastels (1953-1978): A rare showcase of impressionistic pastel drawings, many never before displayed, including live demonstration pieces created during public events. This conversation also explores DeGrazia's creative process, his impact on the Southwest art scene, and the gallery's role as a cultural landmark and community hub in Tucson, Arizona.

In the desert Southwest, water can be scarce. Yet some birds, like this Black-throated Sparrow, thrive in a scorching landscape. The birds obtain moisture from foods like nectar and fruit, as well as insects and other prey. They tuck into the shade in the heat of the day, so they won't lose water in panting. And they have extremely efficient kidneys, so they excrete almost no liquid. Amazing!The soundscapes featured in this episode were recorded by Gordon Hempton and provided courtesy of QuietPlanet.com.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Bob Moats and Mike Wiemuth examine the beloved mythology of in-state recruiting, exploring whether building championship teams with local talent is still viable in modern college basketball.Puerto Rico Recap & Recruiting Updates[00:00-15:00]Bob and Mike discuss IU's successful exhibition trip to Puerto Rico, highlighting impressive performances and what the games revealed about the team's offensive potential. They also touch on the busy recruiting landscape, upcoming visits, and how the new coaching staff is filling their recruiting pipeline with diverse targets across multiple positions.The Dorothy Complex[15:00-30:00]Using "The Wizard of Oz" as a framework, Bob and Mike dive into the mythology surrounding in-state recruiting. They identify three distinct versions of the argument:The extreme position: Load up on as many in-state kids as possibleThe moderate approach: Swap in a few three-star locals at the marginsThe observational stance: Frustration over missing elite in-state prospectsThe discussion explores whether kids even want to stay home anymore, given changing family backgrounds and transplant populations.The Numbers Game[30:00-45:00]Mike presents data showing Indiana's changing talent production compared to basketball hotbeds like Georgia and Texas. Key revelations include how Indiana now produces only 2-3 top 100 players annually versus seven in peak years, and the geographic shift of elite talent toward the South and Southwest. The conversation covers population migration, infrastructure changes, and why the "inexhaustible pool" theory no longer holds.Modern Coaching Realities[45:00-60:00]Bob examines what coaches actually consider when balancing in-state versus national recruiting, using Matt Painter's Purdue model as a case study. Topics include:System-based recruiting versus talent acquisitionThe "who can you get" factor in roster constructionHow the transfer portal changes long-term planningWhy relationships with local coaches still matterChampionship Blueprints[60:00-75:00]Analysis of national championship rosters reveals that 85% of starters over the past 25 years were from out-of-state. Even programs in talent-rich areas like Virginia had zero in-state starters on their title team. The discussion examines whether building around local talent is mathematically feasible for championship contention.Indiana's Path Forward[75:00-End]Bob and Mike conclude with strategies for maintaining in-state connections while pursuing elite talent nationally. Topics include using walk-on programs strategically, staying visible in local communities, and why the current coaching staff's diverse recruiting approach makes sense for IU's championship aspirations.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We often overlook appreciating how far we have developed, but in order to consider what we want to take forward it's a good idea to think about how much we have achieved, what we want to progress and what to let go. Which habits just aren't cutting it any more. What did you commit to, but didn't do-is that because it was someone else's idea and just doesn't fit you? Who distracted you? Why did you let them?! What's been great? What worked? This week we're taking a pulse. Taking a moment to figure exactly what lights us up and let's ditch what doesn't!

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — The White House is touting over one-thousand arrests since deploying Guard troops across the nation's capital earlier this month.  According to the White House, 111 firearms have been seized, six known gang members have been arrested, and 49 homeless encampments have been cleared by the multi-agency teams.  At this time, it is unclear when the federal police presence will be scaled back in the district.   Two ---   Gas prices are expected to remain low for Labor Day weekend travelers.  AAA says the national average for a gallon of regular should stay below last year's average of three dollars and 33 cents, and should remain low for the rest of the summer as long as Gulf Coast refineries are not hit by hurricanes.    And number three ---   Plus-sized customers will soon have to deal with a new seating policy on Southwest Airlines.  According to the airline, larger passengers who cannot be accommodated in a single plane seat will be required to purchase a second seat ahead of time and can then request a refund after the flight. The changes are part of Southwest's broader shift to assigned seating.

At the end of every summer, Las Vegans add another notch to their belt — when you're here for the long haul, you learn to live with the heat. But the long stretches of extreme heat that we're experiencing is new: Reno and Las Vegas are the country's two fastest-warming cities, and the number of heat-related deaths is growing every year. Legislators from the Southwest are trying to get extreme heat classified as a natural disaster, but why is it so hard to address? Co-host Dayvid Figler talks with Ariel Choinard, coordinator of the Nevada Heat Lab at the Desert Research Institute about the solutions that do and don't work, what we can learn from other cities, and how to respond to climate change naysayers.

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN, who has binged the Netflix series about Jerry and the Cowboys. And while it may be overly gentle to Jerry's recent run of playoff futility, it's got a lot of good nuggets in there. The boys also discuss how nobody knows what the right amount of pre-season is for starters, the latest Shedeur nonsense, and just how cheap the Bengals are. Cheaper than you can imagine. ESPN has to delete a tweet promoting their app, calling it "all the legends." Another low mark for the network in the Connecticut woods. Also, Southwest has put the fatties on notice.

But I wanna know who's paying for these court cases because you know that ain't free. No. No. That's that's the people of the district. And they they thought Trump was gonna cover some of that with the 500, million dollar settlement, but that's not the case either. So the people of the state of New York, thank you so much for your donation. Right? Exactly. So I I I don't get it. I really don't, Jeff. I appreciate it. Well, here's the thing, though. The Democrats don't get it. Now listen. Don't tell them don't tell them that they don't get it. I mean, how many times what has been the great Democrat talking point for 2025? What's it been? How have they resonated with the American people? Look at all of the people that they're they're defending. They're defending Gilmore Abrego Garcia. They're defending the truck driver who killed three people. They're defending criminals. They don't want the streets of Washington DC cleaned up. And there's a reason for that. Because if those people in Washington DC, like they're seeing now, get a little bit of a taste of what safety and security is all about, they're gonna want more. They're gonna want more. Not only they're gonna want it in Washington DC, they're gonna want it in Baltimore. They're gonna want it in Chicago. They're gonna be they're gonna want it everywhere. They're gonna want it in Atlanta. And that means the Democrats are gonna lose control, and that's the last thing they want. All they want is the power. But they don't know they cannot come out and say that. They cannot say what they really believe. They're only using Gilmore, Abrego, Garcia as a photo op. That's it. They don't care where he goes. They could give a rat's rump. They don't care. They don't care about the so called migrants. They don't care about the African American community. They don't care. The only thing they care about and listen. I was in the land of old white liberals this past weekend. I mean, I might have been in the epicenter. I am literally hold on. I am literally trying to to just rack my brain and think if I saw any, you no. I don't think I saw a single black person. Not one African American. And we're talking about this a this a pretty big tourist town, but, I didn't see anybody there in the land of Black Lives Matter. Where were they? Where were they? Oh, oh, oh, oh, I saw some Hispanics there. They were trimming the manicured hedges in Westerly and Stoningtonborough, but that's it. That's it. So the Democrats, they don't have a brand right now. They don't. And the American people are starting to figure that out. Even I I love this. This is Harry Enton, from, over on on CNN. Once you listen to what he said Look. The Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with the American voter as the Cracker Barrel rebrand has with the American consumers. Bad. Bad. Bad. What are you doing? Oh my goodness gracious. What are we talking about here in terms of big party registration changes in the key swing states? Let's look at the key four swing states that in fact do keep track of registration by party. Look, the Republican party is in their best position at this point in the cycle since at least 2005 and all four of these key battleground states. We go out to the Southwest, Arizona. How about Nevada? Republicans haven't done this well since 02/2005. Oh my goodness gracious at this at this point in the cycle. North Carolina, I couldn't find a point at which Republicans were doing better at this point in the cycle. It's at least this century. It probably goes way back in the last century. And Pennsylvania, very similar. Republicans doing better at this point than at any point at any point this century, at least as far as I I could find. Look. The And, yeah, and and the only thing is the only ...

This week on Pour Minds, Lex P and Drea Nicole are joined by social media influencers and podcast hosts Mecca and Jamila of Unhinged & Immoral. If you’ve seen them on TikTok, you already know they’re “certified yappers”—and they brought the same energy to the Pour Minds couch. From viral hot takes and online trolls to Essence Festival panels and South by Southwest stages, the ladies talk about turning internet moments into real-life opportunities. Jamila opens up about her work in film and music management through her company, Ring Bell Productions, while Mecca shares her passion for acting, her love of indie Black cinema, and why she’s gunning for Tubi stardom. Of course, it wouldn’t be Pour Minds without some messy fun: from strip club food reviews (yes, the Magic City burger is THAT good), to flea drama with Mecca’s dog Flex, to wild stories about high school horniness and oversharing tea. This episode is sponsored by Taylor Port. Bold, bright, and unapologetic—just like the Pour Crew.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the fifth episode of our series on the class struggles on the US-Mexico border, we continue our deep dive into the history of the fight by farmworkers in the Southwest to demand fair wages, working conditions, and dignity. The 1920s were an area of ruling class dominance in the US, and along with their surging wealth, the ideology of eugenic "race science" was developed to justify the extreme inequality and exploitation of the oppressed. In this context, Mexican workers in the fields of California and the factories of the Midwest faced explicitly racist super exploitation by their bosses. In this episode, we discuss efforts by radical organizers in the IWW, the Communist Party, and Mexican mutualistas to combat this extreme racism and unify the fightback of all farmworkers, with many lessons for us to draw from in our fight against racist ICE terrorism today.
