Hungarians are a melancholy people, and their music reflects that state of mind. "It's a country that suffered a lot for many centuries through many invasions," said violinist Roberta Mez?-Arruda. "They've had few years of real independence. Of course, they made up for it - they're a very strong-charactered folk. The music reflects that a lot - the music can be quite sad. There's a saying, 'The Hungarians rejoice crying.'"

Let's end the argument: Yes, standing in front of a beach wearing nothing but a painted-on bikini is a sport. That's right. Recently, the most ridiculous product of America's puritanical heritage hit newsstands and mailboxes all over the U.S. By 9 p.m., it had disappeared to the bathrooms of the homes of about 140,000 puberty-stricken boys.
While the diamond-studded Jesus pieces hanging from your favorite rapper's neck may seem right at home, there was once a time when East Coast hip-hop dabbled in blasphemy.
Music is a key element in the work of graffiti artist Luke Aiello. "You get letters, and you just flow with them like waves," he said. "That's how my basic flow is, like water.

People have their boundaries. Through March 4, UNM's Theatre X will explore the concept of boundaries and what happens when people cross them, as it presents three plays in the series "Pressing Boundaries."
My last theme party was depressing. Instead of a house full of people dressed like they were from the 1940s, about 10 people showed up in street clothes. I was the only one in costume except for my cousin Orlando, who made a desperate attempt at an ensemble that consisted of a white T-shirt, blue jeans and a baseball bat. He looked like Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez from "The Sandlot."

There's a burgeoning music scene three hours southeast of El Paso, in Texas' Big Bend region. This isn't a place one would expect to find such a thing. A quick look at a satellite image reveals a whole lot of nothing. But if one were to look closely, one might notice the tiny burg of Marfa, Texas.
Artist Michael Olivares invented a method to mesh paintings and frames. Olivares, known as Miko, created what he calls gel emulsions by scanning his paintings or drawings onto archival paper. Then, he brushes an acrylic gel medium recipe onto the print and lets it dry for a few days.
One hundred million years ago, New Mexico lay nameless and borderless and partially submerged beneath sprawling, shallow seas. Dinosaurs of every size and appetite wandered to the edge of such seas, in search of plants, water or smaller creatures further down the food chain. The air above them hung hot and dense, sagging with humidity, and pterosaurs flapped and glided against it.
