Emancipating the Past: Kara Walker's Tales of Slavery and Power
from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation
Friends, Colorado, Chicago, and East Galleries
January 30 – May 14, 2016
Kara Walker is one of the most successful and widely known contemporary African American artists today; she is remarkable for her radical engagement with issues of race, gender, and sexuality and the media with which she pursues her studies. Though mainly celebrated for her provocative installations, composed of cut-paper silhouettes, Walker's work in other media is equally strong and expands on the many powerful themes and questions of her practice.
Walker's selection of particular media is both aesthetic and conceptual. Often using outmoded technologies or old-fashioned techniques, she draws on the historical memory of her media, bringing her contemporary perspective into confrontation with the artifacts of history. Explaining the importance of historical representation for contemporary life, Walker explained, "One theme in my artwork is the idea that a Black subject in the present tense is a container for specific pathologies from the past and is continually growing and feeding off those maladies...." By looking carefully at a selection of Walker's projects in different media, this exhibition will emphasize the interface between technique and concept in her work. Walker's use of historically inflected techniques investigates the question: "How is contemporary identity shaped and affected by the imagery from the past?"
Kara Walker is both prolific and innovative. The projects presented in this exhibition will display the range of approaches she has taken to subject matter, historical narrative, artistic media and technique, and the complexities and ambiguities of racial and historical representation. By highlighting the obscure references and old-fashioned techniques of Walker's artistic process, Emancipating the Past: Kara Walker's Tales of Slavery and Power will illuminate the rigorously researched underpinnings of Walker's work with the aim to make her provocative approach accessible to a diverse audience.
This retrospective of prints, featuring works from the series Emancipation and Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War, as well as selected other prints, videos and a wall silhouette, is organized by the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, University of Oregon, Eugene, from the Portland, Oregon-based collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer.
The exhibition was curated by Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art Jessi DiTIllio, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, University of Oregon from the Portland, Oregon-based collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation.

Bill is a stay-at-home dad who has constantly struggled with his weight – he's lost 115 pounds but keeps finding it again and having to re-lose it.

That's right, losing weight is fun and easy! It must be, because I've done it several times. In 1993 I got to my goal weight after losing 90 pounds. By 2002 I'd gained 115 pounds, so in 2002/03 I lost it again. Then by 2008 I'd gained 50 pounds, so lost it in 2008/09. Hmm…now that I think about it, it wasn't much fun. And it's lots of work. So what went wrong?
I tried to do it by myself. (more…)

This week is Men's Health Week at DietsInReview.com, and we want to highlight a few weight loss programs that are focused on the needs of men. (more…)

Good dads put family first, even at dad's expense, right? Maybe not. Fatherhood responsibility continues to mount as more dads become increasingly involved in roles traditionally assigned to mom. Full-time and part-time stay-at-home dads are not uncommon these days. While dads accept this new role, they are also expected to keep up with their other responsibilities. Good fathers are committed with a smile and a sense of pride. Unfortunately, many give lovingly at the expense of their personal health. (more…)

A 36-year-old man is behind bars after a high speed chase in Southwest Georgia Wednesday morning around 6:45.
A deputy with the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office Interstate Criminal Enforcement saw a Nissan Altima following too closely.
When attempting to perform a traffic stop, the driver, later identified as Tellas Barnum, attempted to flee west on US Highway 84. Barnum entered neighborhoods and made U-Turns in an attempt to lose the deputy and throwing unknown items out the window.
The chase continued at speeds around 100 miles per hour until they reached the Quitman city limits where Barnum again turned around. He eventually stopped near the Lowndes/Brooks County line but while deputies were trying to get Barnum to exit the vehicle he began driving forward toward deputies.
Barnum was removed from the car without injury and arrested.
During a search of the vehicle, deputies say they recovered an unknown substance, digital scales, and packaging materials
Barnum has been charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, fleeing and attempting to elude, following too close, speeding and reckless driving.

One of worst things about the NHL lockout might have been that it deprived Detroit Red Wings fans of about 30 games' worth of hearing Ken Daniels this season. Daniels won our online bracket as the best sportscaster in Michigan, beating Fox Sports Detroit colleague Mario Impemba (Detroit Tigers play-by-play) in the final. Daniels, the TV play-by-play voice of the Wings, received about 57% of the nearly 4,700 votes cast in the final matchup.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) – Mac Kandji scored twice and Andre Akpan put Colorado in front for good in the Rapids' 3-2 win over 10-man Isidro Metapan of El Salvador on Wednesday night in the CONCACAF Champions League.
''It was very good to come back like that and for my confidence as well,'' said Kandji, who played his first game this year.
He scored the game winner that clinched the MLS Cup, but suffered an ACL injury on the play.
''It was great to get two goals after being out eight months,'' Kandji said. ''It was very good.''
Kandji scored on a header in the 16th and again in the 45th for Colorado, which made the tournament for clubs from North America, Central American and the Caribbean by winning the MLS Cup in November.
''It was a great homecoming for him (Kandji) and what an influence he was on the game,'' Colorado coach Gary Smith said. ''It was a game that at one point looked like it was getting away from us until he provided some timely goals.''
Allen Dos Santos scored on a penalty kick before he was red-carded in the 41st minute. Paolo Suarez also scored for Metapan.
The game was tied at 2 at the break.
Cristhian Bautista got the ball deep inside the zone in the opening minute and was hauled down by Colorado defender Drew Moor. Dos Santos took the penalty kick and scored on a shot past the right hand of goalkeeper Matt Pickens.
The Rapids got the equalizer in the 16th minute on Kandji's header. Scott Palguta provided the delivery from the left wing.
Metapan regained the lead, 2-1, cashing in on a turnover by Pickens after the goalkeeper caught a cross. Pickens' two-handed clearing toss was picked off by Suarez, who took several strides before sending an uncontested shot past Pickens in the 25th minute.
Dos Santos received a red card ejection in the 41st minute for elbowing Jeff Larentowicz.
''I thought the call was harsh,'' Metapan coach Edwin Portillo said. ''During the game I thought it was a good call, but after seeing it on replay, it was a harsh call.''
Kandji scored again to make it 2-2 in the 45th minute. Joseph Nane's pass down low was headed over by Akpan to Kandji, who put the ball behind Miguel Montes.
Akpan picked up a loose ball deep inside the zone, whirled and put a shot into the right corner of the net in the 50th minute.
''That was a quality club,'' Smith said of Metapan. ''The fact that they took the lead twice is testimony of their positive attitude to come here and to get something out of the game.''
Metapan is 2-9-2 in the CONCACAF.
The two teams will play again on Sept. 28 in El Salvador.

The Spurs saw their chance at going undefeated going down the drain as they trailed 85-78, with 3:34 left in the game. Evidently, though, losing even one game this week was not in the plans of Damone Brown or Udonis Haslem, as they led the Spurs on a 10-0 run to close out the game. Brown made a fast-break lay-up off a pass from Nate Johnson, hit a free-throw, Haslem got fouled twice and hit all four of this free-throws to tie the game and Brown hit the game winner to keep the Spurs record perfect.
Atlanta looked poised to pull off the upset. They took a 70-64 lead into the fourth quarter and held that lead throughout most of the quarter. A pair of free throws by Corey Benjamin gave the Hawks what looked to be a safe 7-point lead, with 3:34 left. But those would prove to be Atlanta's last points of the game, as the Hawks just imploded. From that point on, the Hawks shot 0-5 from the field, committed 4 turnovers, 5 fouls and were out-rebounded 7-2.
As was the case yesterday, Atlanta's bench was its strong point. Charles Smith led the team with 15 points, Tommy Adams had 13 points and Benjamin had 10. Ernest Brown who had 22 points and 7 rebounds paced the Spurs. Johnson added 16 and Damone Brown, the hero for the Spurs, had 14 points off the bench.
The Spurs were led during the week by Devin Brown who averaged 15.8 points per game. Haslem was one of the league's top rebounders, averaging 7.7 boards per game. Smith led Atlanta in scoring this week with 11.5 points per game.

Dallas (2-4) came out of the halftime break and took over the game, led by its frontcourt combination of Derek Hood and Derrick Allston. With the score tied at 41-41 entering the third quarter, Alston hit a 9-foot jumper, then after a steal by Hood, converted a three-point play. Hood then slammed home a reverse dunk on a fast break and, after a Szymon Szewcyzk lay-up, he hit an 18-foot jumper to make it 52-45. After Lamont Barnes responded with a lay-up, Hood took a pass from Rich and hit another 18-footer and, after a three-pointer by Marcus Haislip, Aaron McGhee hit a short hook shot, Rich stole the ball from T.J. Ford and fed Alston for a fast-break lay-up and Rich hit a 22-foot fast break lay-up and Dallas found itself leading by double-figures, 58-48 and they never looked back. Marcus Goree scored 12 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter to help the Mavericks cruise to the victory.
The first half was a seesaw affair, especially in the first quarter. Dallas ran off to a 10-2 lead only to see the Bucks (2-4) outscore them 16-8 the rest of the quarter, as the teams ended the first tied 18-18. The teams battled back and forth in the second quarter, which featured four ties and two lead changes before it ended tied, 41-41.
Besides Hood and Goree, Dallas got double figure scoring from Tony Stanley (14 points off the bench), Alston, Adam Harrington (13 points each), and Rich, (11 points). Haislip led the Bucks with 19 points, Alex Scales added 13 points and Milwaukee's starting guards Ford and Norm Richardson chipped in with 12 points each.
Alston ended up leading the Mavericks in scoring, averaging 12.5 points per game, followed closely by Goree who averaged 12.3 points per game. Haislip led the Bucks, averaging 13.8 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. Ford, Milwaukee's top pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, was impressive all week, averaging 13.6 points, 7.2 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game.

The Nets led from wire to wire and put this game away early with a 14-4 run early in the first quarter. Brian Scalabrine had 8 of his 15 points during the run, which turned a tie game into a 20-10 New Jersey lead. Another spurt by the Nets, this one early in the second quarter, put the game away. New Jersey outscored the Celtics 20-5 during a 5:41 span. Scalabrine and Tamar Slay each had five points during the run and Ace Custis added a three-pointer and, at the 2:08 mark of the quarter, the Nets had double the Celtics score, 46-23 before taking a 48-30 lead at the half.
Boston cut into the New Jersey lead in the third quarter. Brandon Hunter scored 9 of his 15 points and Lenny Cooke, getting his first start of the week, scored 6 of his 14 points in the quarter, as the Celtics trailed by just 11 points entering the fourth quarter. But the Celtics could get no closer. Marshall went 4-for-6, including 2-for-4 from three-point range in the fourth quarter and the Nets expanded their lead to as many as 18 points before settling for the 15 point win.
Marshall, one of the league's top scorers averaging 20.0 points per game, had 21 for the Nets. Zoran Planinic (16 points) Scalabrine, and Tamar Slay (10 points) also hit for double-figures for New Jersey. Kedrick Brown led the Celtics with 17 points, while Cooke playing his best game of the week added 13 rebounds from the backcourt, to his 14 points.
Although the Celtics' record did not reflect it, they got strong performances from several players. Brown averaged 17.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, Hunter averaged 16.3 points and 8.2 rebounds and Banks scored 15.5 points and 6.2 assists per game. New Jersey's Brian Scalabrine proved to be one of the best all-around players in the league, averaging 14.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.

The Wizards (3-3) trailed by as many as 15 points midway through the third quarter when they started to heat up. Blake and Dixon combined for 11 points in the quarter to cut the Cleveland lead to 57-52, entering the fourth quarter. Cleveland (2-4) maintained its lead for a good portion of the quarter but couldn't stop the Washington onslaught. A pair of free throws and a dunk by Johnson and a three-pointer by Dixon gave the Wizards their first lead of the game, with 2:46 left to play. A three-point play by Boozer gave Cleveland a 2-point lead but Etan Thomas tied it at 73-73. A Dixon lay-up put Washington back ahead but LeBron James tied it at 75-75 with a pair of free throws. After a timeout, the Wizards went ahead to stay, on a Maurice Evans Slam Dunk. James missed two key free throws with 15.6 left and the Cavaliers had to foul. They chose the wrong man to foul as Dixon nailed his two free throws and the Wizards were comfortably ahead.
Cleveland outplayed Washington in the first half, holding the Wizards to 33.3 percent shooting. Darius Miles scored 12 of his 16 points in the first half as the Cavaliers took a 42-30 lead at the half.
Dixon went 10-for-20 from the field and Blake had 11 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds. Boozer tied for the league lead in rebounds per game with 8.3. Cavaliers phenom LeBron James averaged 15.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game this week.

In which the Quantified Self begins to menstruate.
Period technology has come a long way since the first pad — complete with straps, suspenders, buckles, and a belt — made it into stores in the late nineteenth century. Meet the period app: Women are now using their smartphones to help them do everything from graphing their flows to changing their tampons on time to predicting the days on which they'll ovulate.
What's the point of having so much information on the exact part of womanhood most of us would happily forsake? According to users of the apps, collecting and analyzing data on periods helps them better understand their bodies as well as tackle health problems like infertility. Many of the apps that allow period tracking, such as Kindara, Clue, and Glow, are geared toward women trying to get pregnant. In addition to the dates of their periods, users record data on cervical mucus texture and body temperature that help them determine when it's possible to conceive.
Lauren Bacon, a business coach from Vancouver and a follower of the Quantified Self movement, successfully skirted pregnancy for ten years using the analog version of period apps — a pen and paper. Then, at the age of 39, she put all of her data in an app and began analyzing it, conceiving after just two cycles of trying. (To keep her husband in the loop, Bacon added the phrase "Green light go!" to a shared Google calendar on days when she was ovulating.)
Amid their futuristic trappings, many of the period-tracking apps reinforce oddly old-school gender stereotypes. Cute graphics and comforting words are the rule. Period Plus, an app that claims more than over one million users, features a pink color scheme and a small, purple bunny that dispenses weird bits of self-help wisdom ("What other people think of you is none of your business!"). Even some of the apps that avoid pink and purple end up perpetuating the notion that periods and pregnancy are too icky to be discussed without cutesy language. Glow, for instance, which launched this month, invites users to perform tasks such as "Call your best friend!" and "Relax into Balasana — the child's pose" for each day of their cycles. In the male counterpart version of the app, partners are encouraged to do things such as "Compliment her shoes."
In spite of the retrograde rhetoric, though, many new period apps promise to initiate leaps of progress in women's health using a thoroughly 21st-century concept: big data. Max Levchin, the founder of Glow and former CTO of Paypal, explained at a conference in May that he sees infertility as an "information problem" to be solved using "machine learning and predictive analytics." Levchin is also launching a financial service that will insure couples against expensive medical treatments should they fail to conceive.
Clue founder Ida Tin hopes that her app, which also launched in July, will end up empowering more women than just its users. "Science needs the data we're collecting to bring research forward and create better solutions for women," she said. "There hasn't been much innovation since the birth-control pill came out."
The utopian mentality among fertility-app developers mirrors the general mindset of Quantified Self, the movement of people who see personal data crunching as a self-help philosophy. Since 2008, when the first meetings were held, online Quantified Self groups have attracted more than 22,000 members in 33 countries, united by their desire to use apps and gadgets like the Fitbit to help them track — or, in movement parlance, "hack" — various aspects of their health and habits. The rise of fertility and period apps is unquestionably linked to the popularity of Quantified Self. Both Clue and Glow are currently working on pieces of wearable hardware that will eventually gather data on things like body temperature automatically, effectively acting as Fitbits for fertility.
In many ways, though, cycle-tracking apps are part of a much older tradition than Quantified Self. They're certainly not the first advancement in periods to come with a side of traditional gender roles: Throughout the twentieth century, new technologies designed to help women have more control over their bodies also reinforced the idea that periods were shameful or unsanitary. In 1940s and 1950s, brands like Kotex and Modess found great success marketing pads in packages "discreet" enough to "help keep your secret." In The Story of Menstruation, an early sex-ed video produced by Disney in 1946, period blood is virginally white, as if the color red was somehow too scandalous to depict even in cartoon form (so notes Janice Delaney in her history of periods).
This lineage is perhaps why cycle tracking has, thus far, remained oddly separate from Quantified Self, despite their common ground. One member estimated that as much as 80 percent of the Quantified Self movement's members are male.
"The [Quantified Self] narrative has a very strict, technologically driven idea of what the body means," said danah boyd, a social media scholar and senior researcher for Microsoft Research. "One of the things I found about this ecosystem is that in attempting to be gender neutral it ends up being masculine."
According to Tin — whose app contains no pink or purple — the girlishness of most cycle-tracking apps could be rooted in the fact that it's mostly male software developers designing them. "There's a misunderstanding about what appeals to users," she said.
Kate Kendall, the founder of New York–based city guide the Fetch and a Quantified Selfer who tracks productivity and fitness in addition to periods, says that she hopes over time the women's-health apps will become more "gender neutral," like other types of tracking devices.
"Whenever I see a product that's branded pink for women," she said, "I start to switch off."

So apparently Wal-Mart's generic brand version of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" is called "Wow!

Join us annually in support of these fantastic pianists from all walks of life and from many countries,each one a powerful inspiration to us all.
Washington International Piano Arts Council (WIPAC) was established in 2001 to promote international friendship and mutual understanding among nations, to provide an educational forum for all levels of professional and non-professional pianists, to create a renaissance of interest in the art of piano artistry, and to provide venues worldwide where classical music can flourish in many communities.
To further its goals, WIPAC has developed a 5 Year Plan which aims to make the organization take on an expanded mission. In addition, a sponsor gift-giving brochure is available upon request. Over the past 13 consecutive years, WIPAC has hosted an annual Festival of Music and an International Piano Competition for outstanding amateur pianists 31years and older in Washington, DC, during the months of July/August. It is the only competition of its kind that has been presented consecutively year after year, in the U.S.A. Our sister competition in Paris is in its 27th year in 2016 and WIPAC is in its 14th year. WIPAC also hosts annually the unique and exciting "Winners Grand Prix Piano Concert" in April, which features four winners of international piano competitions worldwide.
WIPAC, a purveyor of classical piano music, continues to present piano concerts in our nation's capital featuring both professional and non-professional pianists in cooperation with universities, museums and embassies throughout the Washington, DC METRO area, and we are branching out to Pennsylvania and Sourth Caroline. Most recently branching out globally, WIPAC has presented the First Festival of Music in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, in partnership with Maryland State Sisterhood Program under the auspices of the Office of the Secretary of State and The Kanagawa Prefecture Government. Many other new international events are in planning stages.
For sample recordings by WIPAC PIANISTS, visit our HIGHLIGHTS PAGE (see tabs above). These feature non-professional artists, growing and glowing with new artistry to share.
WIPAC is registered as a non-profit entity under IRS Section 501(c)(3) and derives its support from the generosity of those who believe that music and the performing arts contribute to the enrichment of our lives.
The Festival of Music and Washington International Piano Artists Competition is scheduled in late JULY or early AUGUST, annually. Detailed information is provided as soon as available on the COMPETITIONS page of this website. Interested pianists are encouraged to contact WIPAC for further information on dates, eligibility, and preparation requirements. Previous year requirements may be used as a basis for pianists to prepare. Final applications for the current year are posted after most details of the competition are finalized; e.g., locations, etc.
Over the past 13 years since its inception, WIPAC has been very privileged to have presented annual piano concerts at foreign embassies in Washington, DC, and the Board is very grateful for the ongoing cooperation from the embassies of France, Bulgaria, Portugal, Austria, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Germany, Serbia, Iceland, Philippines, Malaysia, Finland and Luxembourg, the Mexican Cultural Institute, and the Kosciuszko Foundation (DC Chapter).
WIPAC also has organized fabulous musical galas with the gracious patronage of many Ambassadors. WIPAC concert events and galas have also featured generous performances of First Prize Winners of the WIPAC International Piano Artists Competition.
We cordially invite our audiences and supporters to join our membership and support groups so that we may continue to make piano music artistry flourish in our community. Let great music live and continue to enrich our hearts and minds and bring peace to our world!

This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. Eyewear is in.

It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. The butterfly look is characterized by the thick full frame. The classic shape has an enduring popularity and is always en vogue. Stars like Marilyn Monroe made the look famous. This eye-catching shape is particularly suitable for faces with broad cheeks. The butterfly shape attracts everyone's attention. Due to its extravagance, it is absolutely perfect for confident personalities. The look is particularly suitable for somewhat shorter faces because the special shape makes the faces appear elongated and, thus, more slender. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Anyone who likes something more extravagant will choose this shade of red. There is no possibility of ignoring this style for Women. Sunglasses with pink-coloured lenses are the latest fashion trend. However, as they change the field of view and the colour impression they should not be worn when driving. You can rely on the guaranteed UV400 protection, for all the sunglasses in our shop.
The respective lenses are also available in your prescription strength. Our digital dispensing optician will help you find the cheapest option.
Even if this Vogue is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten.

AMA Response to Sen. Lamar Alexander's Call for a Meaningful Use Delay
For immediate release:
Sept. 16, 2015
Statement attributed to:
Steven J. Stack, MD
President, American Medical Association
"The American Medical Association strongly agrees with Sen. Lamar Alexander that the meaningful use program should be paused given the urgent need to improve the usability and interoperability of electronic health record systems. The comments by the Senate's health committee chairman are consistent with AMA requests for a temporary period of reassessment that is needed to help the meaningful use program succeed. There is growing bipartisan recognition that the meaningful use program needs adjustments to achieve its goals. Proper reassessment of the program before implementing the final stage of regulations will help avoid problematic software that physicians and patients will be burdened with for years to come."
