If the essay is a preview of the book, his thesis is that the Information Age has been as transformative as the Industrial Revolution was, but not in as generally positive ways.
Packer uses his hometown of Palo Alto, Calif., as a metaphor for the drastic changes rendered by the Digital Revolution.
In 1978 when he graduated from high school, houses cost an average of $120,000 and he rode his bike through streets dotted with discount stores, sports shops, your average middle-class shopping environment.
"Thirty five years later, the average house in Palo Alto sells for more than two million dollars. The Stanford Shopping Center's parking lot is a sea of Lexuses and Audis and their owners are shopping at Burberry and Luis Vuitton."
The white middle-class is gone; squeezed out, too, by the cost of housing have been the few black residents and Hispanics.
But life is a dream for the super-bright, inventive people with access to capital; it is a seamless life where there is no waiting, always an effortless alternative for any situation such as high-end restaurants booked up.
Here's how one entrepreneur described a "dream" evening:
"San Francisco is a place where you can go downstairs and get in an Uber (a chauffeured car) and go to dinner where I got reservations halfway there. And, if not, we could go to my place and order takeout food from my favorite restaurant on Postmates (an app), and a bike messenger can go and pick it up for me. We'll watch it happen on the phone…"
Written out of this script is contact with any normal human being, with the exception of the doorman who would take care of the bike messenger, send him on his way and direct a porter to bring up the dinner.
At Facebook, employees can eat sushi or burritos, lift weights, get a haircut, have their clothes dry cleaned and see a dentist all without having to leave work.
Apple is building a $5 billion impenetrable ring of fortresses as its headquarters. Packer observes, "These inward-looking places keep tech workers from having even accidental contact with the surrounding community."
In this impersonal society there is no more shame than there was among the titans of the earlier gilded society. A single digital CEO is rumored to have thrown a $1.4 million birthday party with the theme, "Let Him Eat Cake."
The transformation that Packer describes is neither the first nor the best. For all its excesses, the Industrial Revolution from the 1830s to the 20th century could win the competition for the best.
Railroads stretching west to tie the country together required a vast steel industry for the rails and for the new cities springing up, which were reached by autos powered by internal combustion pouring out of assembly lines.
The flexing of our adolescent economic muscles meant not only that we surpassed the older economies of Europe, but it created an enormous American middle-class that could afford Mr. Ford's machines and were the stabilizers of democracy.
In our native region, the civil rights revolution was transformative in a happy way: it created for the first time in Southern history a large, black middle-class and it displaced a civilization that supported a moral evil, legal segregation.
Feudal China has leapt in a few years into the late 20th and early 21st centuries, pulling millions of peasants out of poverty and giving them a path to the middle-class.
Grim, gray Russia, since being touched by the Midas wand of a market economy, now sports streets and malls that look more like Paris.
But neither China nor Russia has developed institutions that allow freedom of expression to its people, not much of an improvement over Benito Mussolini's fascist 1940s Italy, where "the trains ran on time."
The reigning emperors of the soulless digital revolution may be beginning to wander outside where the people live and ask themselves, "What is the meaning of our creations to our society?"
It may come as a shock to them that they have created an unfeeling world where there is little laughter and few tears. Apparently, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, has discovered the real world.
He is urging his digital brothers to enter the real world of clashing interests where real decisions are made starting with support for reasoned immigration legislation. I will leave the benediction to George Packer:
"If Silicon Valley's idea of itself as a force for irresistible progress is running up against the unlovely reality of current American politics, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It might mean that the industry is growing up."
H. Brandt Ayers is the publisher of The Star and chairman of Consolidated Publishing Co.

Republican and Democratic lawmakers have joined in proposing the measures, reflecting the unusual mix of political partnerships that have arisen since former NSA analyst Edward Snowden began revealing how the agency collected information on millions of Americans' phone calls. Both conservative limited government advocates and liberal privacy supporters have opposed the surveillance programs.
Proponents say the states' measures will overhaul outdated digital privacy laws and help increase oversight of specific surveillance tools that law enforcement agencies have been using that critics say mirrors federal surveillance technology.
The bills taking shape in at least 14 states include a Colorado proposal that would limit the retention of images from license plate readers, an Oregon bill that would require "urgent circumstances" to obtain mobile phone location data and a Delaware plan that increases privacy protections for text messages.
Supporters say the measures are needed because technology has grown to the point that police can digitally track someone's every move.
"We need to stand up and protect our liberty," said Republican Missouri state Sen. Rob Schaaf, author of a digital privacy bill.
Police groups, however, say the moves will in some cases hinder efforts to deter or solve crimes. "It would cripple law enforcement's ability to do investigations," said Bart Johnson, executive director of the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
Devices such as license plate readers and mobile phone trackers "can tell whether you stayed in a motel that specializes in hourly rates, or you stopped at tavern that has nude dancers," said David Fidanque, director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon.
"It's one thing to know you haven't violated the law, but it's another thing to know you haven't had every one of your moves tracked," he said.
As for digital privacy, bills promoting broader protections against email surveillance have popped up recently in various states with varying results. One proposal became law in Texas last year, but a similar measure was vetoed in California where the governor said it was too onerous for police to follow.
But proposals focused specifically on police surveillance are a new variety.
Schaaf's proposal in Missouri for a legislatively mandated ballot measure would add electronic data to a list of property protected from unreasonable search and seizure. If it passes, it would go before voters in November. (continued...)

Born 755; died 28 May, c. 812; was the second count of Toulouse, having attained that dignity in 790. He is by some writers also given the title of Duke of Aquitaine. This saint is the hero of the ninth-century "Roman de Guillame au court nez", but the story of his life is told in a more reliable form by the anonymous author of the biography which was written soon after the saint's death, or before the eleventh century according to Mabillon, or during the eleventh century according to the Bollandist Henschen. His father's name was Theoderic, his mother's Aldana, and he was in some way connected with the family of Charles the Great, at whose court he was present as a youth. The great emperor employed him against the Saracen invaders from Spain, whom he defeated at Orange. In 804 he founded a Benedictine monastery, since called S. Guilhem le Desert, in the valley of Gellone, near Lodeve in the Diocese of Maguelonne, and subjected it to the famous St. Benedict of Aniane, whose monastery was close at hand. Two years later (806) he himself became a monk at Gellone, where he remained until his death. his testament, granting certain property to Gellone, and another subjecting that monastery to the Abbot of Aniane, are given by Mabillon. His feast is on 28 May, the day of his death.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Navy pilot Jim Bridenstine has defeated five-term incumbent John Sullivan to capture the Republican nomination in Oklahoma's 1st Congressional District.
Bridenstine, who had tea party backing, is a political newcomer who ran a campaign that attempted to paint Sullivan as a career politician who had grown out of touch with working-class Oklahomans. He also criticized Sullivan for missing votes; the incumbent missed votes in 2009 while being treated for alcoholism.
Both men squabbled over Sullivan's voting record, who held the more important job in the private sector and which one would be the most conservative candidate for the job.
Bridenstine will now face small business owner John Olson, a Democrat, and Independent Craig Allen, an airline pilot. They'll both be on the 1st District ballot in November.
Tune in to FOX23 Daybreak tomorrow morning, when Jim Bridenstine will join Ron Terrell and Michelle Linn.

Surprising a Marine With A Heck of a Diesel Upgrade Project
About the Project:
Chuck, who manages Truck Transmission and Turbo in Wheat Ridge Colorado, was discussing his friend John's stepson (Sergeant Brian Douglass) while in the gym earlier this year. Brian has been overseas in combat zones nonstop for years working as a dog handler. A Colorado native, born and raised in the Denver area, Brian reported to boot camp just days after graduating from Ralston Valley High School in 2003. Trained as a dog handler, Brian's first deployment was in 2005 in Iraq, and he was currently serving his second deployment in Afghanistan.
John mentioned to Chuck that he would like to do something to thank his Marine stepson for his service by upgrading his 1998 24V Dodge Truck. Chuck decided to create an 'Overhaulin' type of project using donations by local Colorado business to fund a surprise project build on Brian's truck that would be waiting for him upon his return to the US. Brian's stepfather tricked him into thinking that his truck was being taken to the shop for routine repairs.
Chuck contacted the below-listed companies and began collection parts and donations to make the build happen. As the money and parts came together, Chuck's team at Truck Transmission and Turbo upgraded the Dodge and prepared it for the surprise.
Once the upgrades were done and Brian arrived home from duty he was brought to Truck Transmission and Turbo to discuss what was being "repaired" on the truck and what other maintenance items were needed. As Brian was brought outside to the truck a crowd of supporters was waiting to surprise him and the finished truck was revealed. Brian was sent home to enjoy his new ride for a short time before his next tour of duty overseas.

Electronic Ear Plugs are one of the newest types of hearing protection available. Most ear plugs are non-electronic (sometimes called "passive") -- foam plugs, reusables, moldable wax and silicone, for instance. While passive ear plugs can do an excellent job of blocking noise, some applications such as range shooting, hunting, playing in a band, and teaching a music program can benefit from a whole lot more than simple protection from noise. That's where electronic ear plugs come in.
The most important features of these electronic ear plugs:
Electronic ear plugs are a superior choice for any situation in which you need hearing protection AND situational awareness (the ability to hear what's going on around you - absolutely critical when using firearms or working around heavy machinery!). That makes electronic plugs particularly excellent for hunters and shooters in the range or out in the field, for music educators and musicians of all ages, and for industrial workers both on the factory floor and operating heavy machinery. The excellent situational awareness these plugs provide, combined with their smart hearing protection, make electronic ear plugs some of the best hearing all-around safety equipment available today. Electronic ear plugs really are in a class of their own.

Elena Martínez, PhD, co-director of the Arizona Cancer Center's Cancer Prevention and Control Program, has been appointed to the National Cancer Institute's Board of Scientific Advisors.
Dr. Martínez, who also serves as co-director of the AZCC's Cancer Health Disparities Institute and is the Richard H. Hollen Professor of Cancer Prevention at the AZCC and is professor of epidemiology in the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health at the University of Arizona, will serve a five-year term. The 35 advisory board members are appointed by the NCI director and serve at major national research universities and at institutions and organizations engaged in cancer research.
The Board of Scientific Advisors makes recommendations on research priorities conducted or supported by the NCI. The advisory role of the board is scientific and does not include deliberations on matters of public policy.
"We are very fortunate to have Dr. Martínez's voice on the NCI Board of Scientific Advisors. This is the most important decision-making body concerning both NCI extramural spending and policy. Most importantly, Dr. Martínez will represent our large, underserved populations extremely well," said David S. Alberts, MD, director of the Arizona Cancer Center.
Dr. Martínez, who received her doctorate in epidemiology from the University of Texas-Houston, has extensive research expertise in colorectal cancer and, more recently, in health disparities. Since the early 1990s, she has been studying the risk factors associated with cancer, especially colon cancer. In addition to looking at the markers in a population's genetic makeup that could increase or decrease the risk, Dr. Martínez also studies the factors that are under the control of an individual, such as diet, smoking and physical activity.
Dr. Martínez is currently funded through the AZCC's Colon Cancer Prevention Program project, serving as project leader for the molecular epidemiology project of the grant. She recently received funding to conduct research to assess risk factors and clinicopathological characteristics associated with breast cancers diagnosed in the post-partum period in Hispanic women. The study will also examine the epigenetic profiles of these breast cancers and compare these to tumors that occur outside of the post-partum period.
She is also co-principal investigator of the Ella Binational Breast Cancer Study, a study of women of Mexican descent. She also serves as co-investigator on several additional grants, including the gastrointestinal cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence. Dr. Martínez leads a large pooling project, whose goal is to inform the surveillance guidelines for patients after polypectomy.

After the excellent N+ router that came out a few years ago, Belkin has been on a streak of rather mediocre routers, such as the Play or Play Max. But the Advance N900 DB Wireless Dual-Band N+ router is a bit different.
This is the latest router from the company and also its first one that supports the 3 by 3 450Mbps standard on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously. This is the reason for the N900 designation, which shows that the router supports the 802.11n specification and provides up to 900Mbps.

With a Yummy, crumbly topping, you'd never guess that these moist muffins are made with Splenda and are packed full of fiber. I make them for a sweet treat for my kiddos, or for a quick breakfast to go on weekdays. You can also add coconut or nuts for a twist on the taste. If you need gluten free, simply substitute the flower for Pamela's baking mix, and be sure to use gluten free Vanilla Extract.

This is one of my all-time favorite books. It should be noted that I simply adore retellings of classic fairy tales. Beauty is Robin McKinley's retelling of Beauty and the Beast. In this rendition, there are three sisters, Grace, Hope, and Honour. Honour, having a bit of a dislike for her name, creates a nickname, Beauty, which sticks.
Beauty's father is a wealthy merchant who loses his fortune and is forced to relocate his family to the countryside. On his way back from a business trip the father becomes lost in the woods, finds an enchanted castle, and is treated like a king for a night. The next morning he leaves, but picks a rose for his youngest daughter Beauty, leading the master of the magical castle - a disfigured beast - to demand repayment in the form of the merchant's youngest daughter. He returns home with the news, Beauty agrees...and you know the rest.

On August 16th, CytoTherapeutics Incorporated announced the commencement of its FDA-approved trial involving polymer-encapsulated islet cells. The trial is designed to establish that their semi-permeable membrane can allow enough nutrients through to keep the encapsulated cells alive while protecting them from destruction without the use of immunosuppressive drugs. The implant will be tested in people with type I and type 2 diabetes, as well as in a nondiabetic control group. The trial will be conducted at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and results of the 4 month viability study are expected by the end of 1993.

When your pickguard is just loaded with mini-switches or maybe an S-1 Strat switch or a couple of Push-Pull switches, you may just want to use the small screws to avoid a wire from accidentally getting disconnected by a protruding long screw on your selector switch. Sounds picky? It happens, believe me.
Very short! fits my 4-ply pickguard just barley! not sure it would fit a rear rout style guitar. In addition the color of the gold ones is closer to bronze and does not match the pickup height adjustment screws.
Perfect fit. Sometimes these screws are hard to find, but Stew-Mac does it again!
The Strat style screws for metric switches were a direct replacement for my application. No complaints here!
If you really need it, StewMac probably has it, AND in the right size, & right color..
If screws were a little shorter would not serve for nothing, you can not improve a bit more length?
Correct length and thread. Will work in a pinch
They're screws. I used them to rebuild a squier strat and they fit perfectly
I didn't actually need these because the five way switch comes with them! Regardless, they're excellent quality screws.

A seizure can be a symptom of epilepsy. However, a single seizure alone generally does not imply epilepsy. Some patients who experienced their first seizure may in fact have had seizure symptoms but thought they were something else. The seizure symptoms may vary and it depends on the part of brain affected.What is a seizure?The brain is the center that controls and regulates all voluntary and involuntary responses in the body. It consists of nerve cells that normally communicate with each other through electrical activity. A seizure occurs when part(s) of the brain receives a burst of abnormal electrical signals that temporarily interrupts normal electrical brain function.Different types of seizures
Generalized seizuresIn generalized epilepsy, the symptoms may be a brief loss of awareness and motionless state. The extreme would be a loss of consciousness followed by violent convulsions of the limbs and body. Other symptoms may be subtle jerks on both limbs or a sudden drop of the head or body.Partial seizuresPartial epileptic seizures may not remain confined to the portion of the brain causing the seizure. The seizure may spread to other areas and cause other symptoms. The most dramatic spread of the seizure is the grand mal seizure or the generalized tonic-clonic seizure. This is characterized by a loss of consciousness and widespread stiffening of the body/limbs followed by violent rhythmic contractions of the body and limbs.
What to watch for in seizures:
The person may have varying degrees of symptoms depending upon the type of seizure. To schedule an appointment with one of our epilepsy specialists, please call (573) 882-1515.

So it's not exactly a busy week in the world of the NFL (try as they might to might to make it a year long sport), and there isn't really anything going on until the draft; the Combine and Pro Days are essentially over, free agency has definitely hit that point where teams are now waiting to see what pieces they manage to pick up in the draft before signing anyone new and basically the headlines are now composed of DeSean Jackson missing the Redskins voluntary training camp (i.e. not all that voluntary after all so it would seem) and Aldon Smith trying his best to impersonate a terrorist at an airport. Needless to say the media dull Packers are even more boring, apparently Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb are going to the Kentucky Derby…which is great and all but in all honesty I don't really care.
There is however something going on that you should care about…if only a little. That event is the annual tradition of pre-draft visits. Essentially, every NFL team is allowed to invite 30 players from the college ranks to their facilities for whatever reason; sometimes potentially draftee's are just going to get a medical update on an recent injury, some go through positional drills or even chalk board stuff (made famous by Jay Gruden's QB camp series on ESPN) or even just a more in depth interview for the front office/coaching staff to really get to know a player. Frankly, the Packers rarely make the news with their visits, as opposed to the Cleveland Browns, who essentially ignored the QB workouts and are instead inviting all big QB prospects for pre-draft visits instead (which is brilliant and idiotic all at the same time, got to love the Brown's MO).
So who exactly do the Packers invite for visits and does this mean anything in regards to the draft as a whole? Below is a list of every confirmed report of a pre-draft visit I could find going back 3 years (I chose 3 years because that's all the data I could find, deal with it). Also listed is each player's alma mater, their ultimate draft pick and which NFL team initially signed them. Two players, Jakar Hamiliton and Brandon Hardin (listed in italics) were both undrafted rookie free agents that initially signed with other teams but were released and then signed with the Packers. I would wager that the Packers do indeed use their full allotment of 30 players, but some of these visits will never be reported (especially if they are unknown players with unknown agents), so keep in mind that this list is almost certainly incomplete.

Technical report Frank / Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität, Fachbereich Informatik und Mathematik, Institut für Informatik
Year of publication

- Correctness of copy in calculi with letrec, case and constructors (2007)
- Call-by-need lambda calculi with letrec provide a rewritingbased operational semantics for (lazy) call-by-name functional languages. These calculi model the sharing behavior during evaluation more closely than let-based calculi that use a fixpoint combinator. In a previous paper we showed that the copy-transformation is correct for the small calculus LR-Lambda. In this paper we demonstrate that the proof method based on a calculus on infinite trees for showing correctness of instantiation operations can be extended to the calculus LRCC-Lambda with case and constructors, and show that copying at compile-time can be done without restrictions. We also show that the call-by-need and call-by-name strategies are equivalent w.r.t. contextual equivalence. A consequence is correctness of all the transformations like instantiation, inlining, specialization and common subexpression elimination in LRCC-Lambda. We are confident that the method scales up for proving correctness of copy-related transformations in non-deterministic lambda calculi if restricted to "deterministic" subterms.
- 29
- Correctness of copy in calculi with letrec, case, constructors and por (2007)
- This paper extends the internal frank report 28 as follows: It is shown that for a call-by-need lambda calculus LRCCP-Lambda extending the calculus LRCC-Lambda by por, i.e in a lambda-calculus with letrec, case, constructors, seq and por, copying can be done without restrictions, and also that call-by-need and call-by-name strategies are equivalent w.r.t. contextual equivalence.
- 31
- On equivalences and standardization in a non-deterministic call-by-need lambda calculus (2007)
- The goal of this report is to prove correctness of a considerable subset of transformations w.r.t. contextual equivalence in a an extended lambda-calculus with case, constructors, seq, let, and choice, with a simple set of reduction rules. Unfortunately, a direct proof appears to be impossible. The correctness proof is by defining another calculus comprising the complex variants of copy, case-reduction and seq-reductions that use variablebinding chains. This complex calculus has well-behaved diagrams and allows a proof that of correctness of transformations, and also that the simple calculus defines an equivalent contextual order.
- 27
- On generic context lemmas for lambda calculi with sharing (2007)
- This paper proves several generic variants of context lemmas and thus contributes to improving the tools to develop observational semantics that is based on a reduction semantics for a language. The context lemmas are provided for may- as well as two variants of mustconvergence and a wide class of extended lambda calculi, which satisfy certain abstract conditions. The calculi must have a form of node sharing, e.g. plain beta reduction is not permitted. There are two variants, weakly sharing calculi, where the beta-reduction is only permitted for arguments that are variables, and strongly sharing calculi, which roughly correspond to call-by-need calculi, where beta-reduction is completely replaced by a sharing variant. The calculi must obey three abstract assumptions, which are in general easily recognizable given the syntax and the reduction rules. The generic context lemmas have as instances several context lemmas already proved in the literature for specific lambda calculi with sharing. The scope of the generic context lemmas comprises not only call-by-need calculi, but also call-by-value calculi with a form of built-in sharing. Investigations in other, new variants of extended lambda-calculi with sharing, where the language or the reduction rules and/or strategy varies, will be simplified by our result, since specific context lemmas are immediately derivable from the generic context lemma, provided our abstract conditions are met.
- 30
- Program transformation for functional circuit descriptions (2007)
- We model sequential synchronous circuits on the logical level by signal-processing programs in an extended lambda calculus Lpor with letrec, constructors, case and parallel or (por) employing contextual equivalence. The model describes gates as (parallel) boolean operators, memory using a delay, which in turn is modeled as a shift of the list of signals, and permits also constructive cycles due to the parallel or. It opens the possibility of a large set of program transformations that correctly transform the expressions and thus the represented circuits and provides basic tools for equivalence testing and optimizing circuits. A further application is the correct manipulation by transformations of software components combined with circuits. The main part of our work are proof methods for correct transformations of expressions in the lambda calculus Lpor, and to propose the appropriate program transformations.

In 2012, a total of 6,771 terrorist attacks occurred worldwide, resulting in more than 11,000 deaths and more than 21,600 injuries. In addition, more than 1,280 people were kidnapped or taken hostage. In this report we describe patterns of worldwide terrorist activity with respect to changes during the year, geographic concentration, casualties, perpetrator organizations, tactics, weapons, and targets.
On average, there were 564.25 attacks, 924.83 deaths, and 1,804.33 injuries per month in 2012. There were 1.64 fatalities and 3.20 injuries per attack, including perpetrator casualties.
Although terrorist attacks occurred in 85 different countries in 2012, they were heavily concentrated geographically. Over half of all attacks (55%), fatalities (62%), and injuries (65%) occurred in just three countries: Pakistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Nearly half of all terrorist attacks in 2012 (49.4%) caused no fatalities and 53 percent caused no injuries. The majority of the non-lethal attacks were bombings (74.2%) and approximately 20 percent of them were unsuccessful attacks.
Information about perpetrators was reported for 38 percent of terrorist attacks in 2012. More than 160 organizations were named as perpetrators of terrorist attacks. In addition to carrying out the most attacks, the Taliban in Afghanistan was responsible for the greatest number of fatalities in 2012. Along with Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and al-Qa'ida in Iraq (AQI), the Taliban was among the most lethal organizations, causing an average of 3.5 deaths per attack.
Half of all targets (50.5%) were classified as either private citizens and property or police. The most lethal terrorist attacks in 2012 were those in which the primary target was a religious institution. On average, these attacks resulted in 2.56 deaths per attack.
Diplomatic targets were attacked 95 times in 2012. More than one-third of all diplomatic targets were UN personnel or facilities. The remaining diplomatic targets included the African Union, the European Union, the World Bank, and the World Health Organization, as well as consulates, embassies, and diplomatic personnel representing Bulgaria, Canada, China, Egypt, Germany, Great Britain, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, and the United States.

Tadao Ando: Architect Features 15 ProjectsBy Award-Winning Japanese Architect
For Immediate Release
August 16, 2002
This fall, the Clark Art Institute will present the work of architect Tadao Ando, recently selected to design a new building and addition for the Institute. Tadao Ando: Architect, on view from September 28, 2002, through April 27, 2003, will feature 15 buildings and projects through models, drawings, photographs, and videos in an installation specially designed by the architect. The Clark is the only other venue for Tadao Ando: Architect, which originated at the Saint Louis Art Museum.
Ando's sensitivity to landscape and the contemplative nature of his interior spaces led the Institute to select him as architect for its upcoming expansion and campus enhancement. "This exhibition highlights the work of a distinguished architect who seamlessly weaves together architecture with dramatic natural environment," says Michael Conforti, director of the Clark Art Institute. "In these projects, visitors will see Ando's ability to create interplay between interior and exterior spaces through his use of natural lighting and the creation of dramatic vistas. Because the Clark's beautiful landscape is such an integral part of our identity, these were among some of the extraordinary qualities that made Ando the only choice for the Clark."
A self-trained architect, Ando was born in Osaka, Japan, in 1941. He studied traditional Japanese architecture and traveled to the United States, Europe, and Africa studying Western architecture and techniques, and founded Tadao Ando Architect & Associates in Osaka in 1969. Combining modern Western architecture and the simple geometric forms of traditional Japanese architecture, Ando has designed museums, religious structures, and residential and commercial buildings in Germany, Spain, Italy, and France as well as his native Japan. Ando is the recipient of the 1995 Pritzker Architecture Prize and the 2002 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal, and this June was named recipient of the Kyoto Prize for lifetime achievement in the arts and philosophy.
Projects featured in Tadao Ando: Architect include private residences designed in the 1970s and Ando's Japanese churches of the 1980s, such as the Church of the Light in Osaka and the Church on the Water in Hokkaido. Among the highlights will be sketches, models, and photographs of the Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum (1992), a complex of galleries and guest hotels on a scenic bluff overlooking Japan's Inland Sea that demonstrates Ando's approach to connecting buildings with the earth by recessing them underground.
The exhibition will bring Ando's career up to date with his recent commissions for museums in the United States and abroad, including the newly opened Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts in St. Louis. Designs for the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas, scheduled to open later this year, the future Calder Museum in Philadelphia, and the much-heralded commission for the Pinault Contemporary Art Foundation in Paris will also be on view.
Ando's design for the exhibition installation will feature a sequence of pristine, freestanding walls, which will serve as much as minimalist sculpture as they do as exhibit supports. As the walls divide the space, they will also unite it by orchestrating a rhythmic architectural promenade for the visitor.
While Ando's other American commissions are contemporary art museums in large urban settings, the Clark building is Ando's first U.S. museum project in a dramatic natural setting. "We chose Ando as architect because his work best complements the Clark's 140-acre setting as well as the contemplative and serene experience of art and the fertile environment for research and scholarship that distinguish the Clark," says Conforti. Groundbreaking for the Clark's facility is scheduled for late 2003. Collaborating with Ando on the campus enhancement will be Watertown, Massachusetts-based landscape architects Reed Hilderbrand Associates. Reed Hilderbrand has worked on a number of projects in western New England, and their work in the Berkshires has consistently emphasized the area's rural character, including the types of ponds, trails, meadows, and scenic vistas found on the grounds of the Clark.
The Clark will offer a number of special public programs related to the exhibition:
Friday, September 27
5:30 p.m.: Kenneth Frampton, Ware Professor of Architecture at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University will give the lecture "The Topographic Architecture of Tadao Ando."
Sunday, October 13
3:00 p.m.: Paul Goldberger, architecture critic for The New Yorker, will speak on the topic "Architecture, Museums, and Authenticity."
Sunday, November 16
4:00 p.m.: Suzanne Stephens, special correspondent to Architectural Record, will moderate the Clark Conversation "Expanding Museums in the 21st Century."
The Clark
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is one of the country's foremost art museums and also a dynamic center for research and higher education in art history and criticism. The Clark's exceptional collections of Old Master, Impressionist, and 19th-century American art on display in the museum's intimate galleries are enhanced by the beauty of its 140-acre setting in the Berkshires. The Clark is also recognized for its special exhibitions, such as the current exhibition on Gustav Klimt's landscapes and the recent Impression: Painting Quickly in France, 1860-1890, which concurrently advance critical thought and generate popular interest in the arts.
The Institute is one of only a few art museums in the U.S. that is also a major research and academic center, with an international fellowship program and regular conferences, symposia, and colloquia, and an important art research library. The Clark, together with Williams College, jointly sponsors one of the nation's leading M.A. programs in art history, which has been part of the professional development of a significant number of directors of art museums, curators, and scholars. The Clark's Fellows and conference programs draw university and museum professionals from around the world to pursue research and share new scholarship. The Institute encompasses one of the most comprehensive art history libraries in the world. The Clark also is home to the Williamstown Art Conservation Center, which serves more than 50 institutions in the region and also provides professional training in art conservation.
Throughout Tadao Ando: Architect, the Clark galleries will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Admission is $10 (free to members, students, and children) through October 31. After October 31, admission is free. The Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Creator's Choice: James Griffin painter and illustrator
Date: May 14, 2009
by: Heidi Kurpiela | A&E Editor
If you're into Harlequin romance novels, it's likely you already own a piece of James Griffin's work.
You wouldn't guess it by looking at his paintings of pelicans and palm trees, which are on display at Dabbert Gallery in downtown Sarasota, but Griffin, 59, honed his vigorous brushwork by painting brawny machismos such as Fabio.
"Actually," says Griffin, with a cheeky grin, "I was one of the first illustrators to use Fabio."
For more than 32 years, he has designed romance-novel covers for some of the top book publishers in the world — HarperCollins, Random House, Viking Penguin — you name it.
"In the beginning, they'd ask me to read the manuscript and come up with a design," Griffin says. "I'd arrange models at a studio, photograph them and come home and paint. Often, the paint was still wet when I mailed covers out for approval."
Griffin was born in Canada and grew up in the United States, Peru, Britain and, later, Brazil. He spent much of his career working out of a New York studio, where he'd paint hectic city scenes — that is until 2006, when he and his wife moved to Sarasota.
Inspired by the area's tropical landscape and unhurried ethos, Griffin began adding birds of paradise and laidback locals to his steamy portfolio.
"I guess I wasn't ready to pursue fine art until I moved here," he says. "It feels like I've finally got the vocabulary to paint what I've always wanted to paint."
Norman Rockwell
"He's been an inspiration for me ever since I read The Saturday Evening Post as a kid. He knew how to capture a person's spirit. He would nail it every time."
J.C. Leyendecker
"He has incredibly jazzy brushwork. It's luscious."
N.C. Wyeth
"His stuff is quality. It's full of action and has great design."
Daniel Garber
"I just love his sense of texture. He would paint a realistic scene, but the leaves would be one pattern and the water would be another pattern."
John Singer Sargent
"He'd paint a woman's gown using 4-inch strokes and just a few dabs of color. Standing back, you'd swear the gown was actual satin."
