AMERICA'S CHOICE 2012Artists show what power looks like to them.
I can paint that! Wait, no I can't! Amateur artist messes up century-old artwork Would you think to match your home-grown painting skills against a classical artist? Probably not, but that's just what a well-intentioned woman in her 80s did recently in Spain.

The picture on the left shows the original work, the one in the middle the pre-renovated fresco and the one on the right shows the damaged painting.
The three photos above tell the tale. The image on the left is the original work, a century-old oil painting of Christ called "Ecce Homo (Behold the Man)" that was painted on a column inside a church near Zaragoza, Spain, by artist Elias Garcia Martinez.
Over the years, the work began to deteriorate, as shown in the second image. According to the Centre de Estudios Borjanos, the unnamed amateur artist (without permission from the church, needless to say) thought she could improve the work and set to work with paints and brushes. The third picture is the result.
The BBC reports that the woman realized her mistake and contacted Juan Maria Ojeda, a city council member in charge of cultural affairs for the area. "I think she had good intentions," Ojeda told the BBC.
A team of art restoration experts is reportedly examining the painting, will quiz the woman on what materials she used in her attempt, and will figure out how best to proceed.
"If we can't fix it, we will probably cover the wall with a photo of the painting," Ojeda told the BBC.
The BBC Europe correspondent described the painting's current state as resembling "a crayon sketch of a very hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic."
While Martinez's work was not considered especially valuable, the BBC reports that the painter's granddaughter had just donated a sum of money to restore the peeling image. Apparently the helpful would-be artist took it upon herself to get involved without knowing that, but if she had just waited, the work would have been fixed properly.
What do you think of the resulting artwork? Do you feel sorry for the woman, or should she have known better? Tell us on Facebook.

TB@SEA: Felix freezes Rodriguez to seal perfect game
SEATTLE -- Felix Hernandez has been one of the best pitchers in baseball over the past seven years, but he'd never thrown a no-hitter. Nor had the Mariners ever had a hurler fire a perfect game. Until now.
Hernandez, 26, continued his masterful midseason run with the first perfect game and fourth no-hitter in Mariners history, as Seattle topped Tampa Bay, 1-0, on a picture-perfect Wednesday afternoon at sunny Safeco Field.
"I realized in the third or the fourth," Hernandez said on the field after the game. "It was in my mind the whole game. I was like, 'Come on, you gotta do it. You gotta do it. When I came out in the ninth, I was a bit nervous."

'No one really cares': US deaths in Afghanistan hit 2,000 in 'forgotten' war
By NBC News staff and wire reports
KABUL, Afghanistan -- It was once President Barack Obama's "war of necessity." Now, it's America's forgotten war.
The Afghan conflict generates barely a whisper on the U.S. presidential campaign trail. It's not a hot topic at the office water cooler or in the halls of Congress — even though more than 80,000 American troops are still fighting here and dying at a rate of one a day.
Americans show more interest in the economy and taxes than the latest suicide bombings in a different, distant land. They're more tuned in to the political ad war playing out on television than the deadly fight still raging against the Taliban. Earlier this month, protesters at the Iowa State Fair chanted "Stop the war!" They were referring to one purportedly being waged against the middle class.

Remembering Kathi Goertzen
On this day in 1939, The Wizard of Oz, which will become one of the best-loved movies in history, opens in theaters around the United States.
Based on the 1900 children’s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum (1856-1919), the film starred Judy Garland as the young Kansas farm girl Dorothy, who, after being knocked unconscious in a tornado, dreams about following a yellow brick road, alongside her dog Toto, to the Emerald City to meet the Wizard of Oz. Along the way, Dorothy encounters a cast of characters, including the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and the Wicked Witch of the West. Though the scenes in Kansas were shot in traditional black and white, Oz appears in vivid Technicolor, a relatively new film process at the time. Nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Picture category, The Wizard of Oz lost to the Civil War-era epic Gone With the Wind. The Wizard of Oz won a Best Song Oscar for “Over the Rainbow,” which became one of Garland’s signature hits. Garland won a special award at that year’s Oscar ceremony, for Best Juvenile Performer.
