Recalling how he was raised in "heavily Democratic Providence, R.I.," New York Times columnist Joe Nocera revealed: "It wasn't until I moved to Washington after college that I got to know any Republicans. Not until I was nearing 30, and living in Texas, did I see how conservative most of the country truly is."
One wonders how many others inside the New York Times were so sheltered from views contrary to the liberal world view.
Nocera's admission of his insular upbringing in a cocoon of left-wing Democratic culture came in his column this past Saturday in which he apologized for having viciously attacked the Tea Party as "terrorists" who wear "suicide vests" and "have waged jihad on the American people."
(On Tuesday's Morning Joe, the source of the screen capture, Nocera declared: "The George Bush tax cuts have been fundamentally ruinous to this country.")
In his Monday "Best of the Web Today" compilation, for wsj.com, James Taranto highlighted Nocera's confession.
From the top of "The Tea Party, Take Two," Nocera's August 6 column:
In the four months since I began writing an Op-Ed column, the thing that has most surprised me is how darned liberal I sound sometimes. I know that seems like a strange thing to say, so let me explain.
Growing up in heavily Democratic Providence, R.I., in the 1950s, it was hard not to absorb the values of the Democratic Party — the party of Roosevelt, as my parents often reminded me, who had gotten the country through the Great Depression. My parents and their friends believed in a progressive income tax, in the importance of unions (my parents were public schoolteachers), and in a government that helped those who couldn't help themselves. It wasn't until I moved to Washington after college that I got to know any Republicans. Not until I was nearing 30, and living in Texas, did I see how conservative most of the country truly is....
Of course, just being in a liberal city is hardly excuse for such a lack of interest any political diversity. I grew up near Providence, in the Boston area, and yet found plenty of access to conservative and libertarian views on the radio and in the Boston Herald American's op-ed page.
Nocera's bio recites his roles at the New York Times, NPR and running Fortune magazine:
Joe Nocera is an Op-Ed columnist. Before joining The Opinion Pages in April 2011, he wrote the Talking Business column for the New York Times each Saturday and was a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine. In addition to his work at The Times, he serves as a regular business commentator for NPR's Weekend Edition with Scott Simon.
Before joining The Times in 2005, Mr. Nocera spent 10 years at Fortune Magazine, where he held a variety of positions, including contributing writer, editor-at-large and executive editor. His last position at Fortune was editorial director....

Copyright infringement, 'free-riding' and the lifeworld
The dominant explanatory/justificatory framework informing scholarly commentary on copyright law, policy and theory today – certainly in the US – is law and economics. From this perspective, copyright law exists to underpin markets in certain categories of 'information good' (copyright works). These markets in turn function to ensure that the private costs and benefits of information production and consumption line up (more or less) with the social costs and benefits of these activities, ie that 'free-riding' on the efforts of information producers is (more or less) curtailed. A widely held view is that this tradition of what might be called 'copyright-law-and-economics' is now deeply divided – between adherents to what Glynn Lunney has called 'copyright's incentives-access paradigm' on the one hand, and proponents of what Mark Lemley has called the 'full value' or 'absolute protection' paradigm on the other. Absolute protection theorists tend towards the view that all uses of copyright works should be capable of being controlled (and so priced) by the right-owner; incentives-access theorists distinguish between uses the control of which would affect the information producer's incentives ex ante, and those that would not, and recommend that copyright protection should extend to the former category only. This paper examines the features that are said to distinguish the two paradigms from each other, focusing especially on the approach each recommends to copyright's scope (ie the issue of what uses of copyright works properly constitute copyright infringements). Particular attention is paid to the efforts of critical economists of intellectual property law such as Lemley and Brett Frischmann to retrieve and advance versions of the incentives-access paradigm with a view to counteracting the disadvantages for society they believe are associated with the absolute protection paradigm. Ultimately, however, I conclude that too much has been made of the distinction, and that the debate over which paradigm should have priority in determining the contours of copyright policy distracts attention from a more fundamental issue – the hegemony of economic analysis generally in organising the conceptual and normative universe of legal scholars working in this area. Thus while sympathetic to the impulse underlying the efforts of Lemley and Frischmann – a concern to resist the seemingly relentless expansion of copyright towards the horizon of absolute right-holder control of all uses of copyright material – I argue that their lingering adherence to the presuppositions of economic analysis has stymied their well-meaning efforts to account for the social value of 'information' in terms distinct from the merely economic measure of price. My overall aim here is to suggest that, because of its presuppositions, economic analysis – in whatever paradigm it may be packaged – offers at best a blinkered perspective on both copyright law and the field of social life that copyright law affects. I conclude by proposing Jürgen Habermas's social theory as an alternative framework in relation to which critics of copyright expansionism might fruitfully orient themselves in the future.

Andrew Bogut played 18 minutes, 55 seconds in the Golden State Warriors' loss at the Kings on Monday.
Bogut sat out Saturday's game against the Clippers as he is not yet playing in back-to-back games.
"I'm not really going to comment on (my progress) right now because I have a lot more work to do to get to a level where I play 40 minutes," Bogut said. "Conditioning wise, I don't feel too bad. That's getting better every game. But the ankle is still a work in progress."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My nephew's girlfriend stab him on his elbow and the knife went completely through. This happen mid day and outside her front yard today. Of course, he started gushing out blood everywhere and went to the hospital. He is 25 and she is 32. His girlfriend loves to pick up things to stab you with and also scratches his neck and face up with her fake nails. My nephew is a real gentleman and will not even hit her and he will and he has blocked her hits or kicks. He will not be her cushion or doormat. He did not press any charges but she was picked up at work and charged. Why did that happen? Will she remain in jail? Will bond be set? What next? Nephew decided this was the last straw and will not continue a relationship with her.She has a clean record, no arrests. First timer. But police does have alot of calls out to her house from previous spousal abuse and attacks from her ex-husband ( not the nephew). So police knows her and her house.
Your nephew does not have to file charges, if the police were called, or if the hospital took a report of his injuries, the police likely investigated from there and arrested her for her actions. She will most likely be allowed to post bond given her record once a record is set. Then she will have an apperance date set to where she can plead not guilty, guilty or no contest and can discuss her options with the prosecutor.
Your nephew will likely be asked to be a witness against her so he will have to decide what part he wants in the case. If he refuses to testify the state will not have much evidence unless there were other witnesses, however he can be subpoenaed and forced to testify.
Good luck to all of you.Ask a similar question
This is a first degree felony offense and carries a range of punishment of 5 - 99 years and/or life in prison. The most serious level of offense in Texas except for Capital Murder. She is entitled to bond. The fact that your nephew did not "file" charges is irrelevant. She committed a crime and the DA's office is moving forward with prosecuting her. What's next is that she will be made an offer for a plea bargain and then she will accept or reject it. If she rejects it, depending on the jurisdiction, she will be set for trial or renegotiate with the prosecutor. To say that she is in serious trouble would be an understatement. She needs to hire a very good lawyer immediately.Ask a similar question
Let me start with a little geography. Amarillo is split into two counties. Everything North of about 34th street is Potter County. Everything South of about there is Randall County. The two counties have different District Attorneys. Randall Sims is the DA of Potter County; James Farren is the DA of Randall County. Both are fair men doing their best to seek justice, but their jury pools are very different.
Potter County has far more crime and far less wealth. As a result, the juries there tend to be far more 'defendant sympathetic' than the juries in Randall County.
Both DA's offices have Victim's Advocates that can give your nephew all sorts of information about the case. It is their job to answer these questions for him and to help him work through the next months to a year as the case goes through the system.
If the offense occurred in Potter County, call the DA's office at: 806-379-2325

Quite the contrary, Clinton says: the government did too little to regulate banks.

If we take the statement All men are mortal, its contrary is Not all men are mortal, its converse is All mortal beings are men, & its opposite is No men are mortal. The contrary, however, does not exclude the opposite, but includes it as its most extreme form. Thus This is white has only one opposite, This is black, but many contraries, as This is not white, This is coloured, This is dirty, This is black; & whether the last form is called the contrary, or more emphatically the opposite, is usually indifferent. But to apply the opposite to a mere contrary (e.g. to I did not hit him in relation to I hit him, which has no opposite), or to the converse (e.g. to He hit me in relation to I hit him, to which it is neither contrary nor opposite), is a looseness that may easily result in misunderstanding; the temptation to go wrong is intelligible when it is remembered that with certain types of sentence (A exceeds B) the converse & the opposite are identical (B exceeds A).

Fabulous Ruby: Ruby Princess Cruise Review by Alliebdive
Overall Member Rating
Fabulous Ruby
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Venice
The Ship: I really cannot fault the ship. She is beautiful, particularly the atrium area and feels spacious inside. I did feel the upper pools were somehow crowded but it was easy to avoid them if you were with an adult party. We loved the Terrace pool and spent all the time available there - it felt like a private yacht. Our cabin was spacious enough and comfortable, enough storage, quiet and very well positioned. We could be outside in about 10 seconds, in the pool in one minute. The buffet and Cafe Caribe was one deck directly up, Sabatinis 2 decks, Skywalkers several more. We also liked Vines for a glass of wine and sushi plates, the International cafe for wonderful salads and desserts and Crooners for late night drink.
The Food: Again, we thought it was very good. We ate breakfast and most lunches in the buffet finding that the quickest and most convenient option. Generally we had no problems getting a table. At first we were slightly disappointed with the choices on offer at both meals but we soon learned that you could ask for omelettes (rather than an omelette station) and almost anything else you wanted and it would be provided. We had almost every dinner in the main dining rooms and found the food excellent especially as you could always have the lovely Beef Tenderloin steak if you didn't fancy one of the main courses. We had Anytime dining and it worked well for us. We generally ate with our friends (another family of 4) and when we didn't we enjoyed meeting lovely fellow cruisers. One night we ate at the Crown Grill. While we found the food to be good, to be honest, there was just far far too much and we left feeling uncomfortably full. We had intended to try Sabatinis but the Crown Grill experience put us off a bit. The wine list was good and varied, starting at about 22 USD per bottle. We bought soda cards for the two girls and got extremely good value from them. Also bought coffee cards which were slightly less good value. Had burgers on deck one day which were very good (for lunch) and ice cream once (rather runny but tasty!!)
The Entertainment: This was imo very disappointing. We are used to seeing perhaps 4 or 5 shows on a two week cruise. Ruby offered 3 from my counting, each repeated 3 times and audiences were very small. We attended the first "show" which was not a show but a sales pitch for the rest of the shows. Oddly enough this was the fullest we saw the Princess Theatre all week - possibly it put people off the rest of the shows. I also felt the show team were less than sparkling in comparison to the standards I have seen on P&O and Celebrity. A pity because the theatre is absolutely state of the art with many bells and whistles. Club Fusion which is the alternate large venue was also misused imo. It seemed to stage endless karaoke competitions rather than provide venues for alternate artists or shows as per most cruises. There was a fantastic comedy acrobat on board who would have done well in there but most of the time he was in the atrium and missed my many people. I do think the management of the entertainment needs a real shakeup. Often shows were cross-timetabled to the embarrassment of the artists and audience. We went to see Philippa Healey who has starred in London musicals and she was put on against the world cup final and we sat with maybe 40 other people in the Princess Theatre which was very uncomfortable.
The Ports: FANTASTIC!!! The weather was hot and sunny throughout except for Istanbul and there was soooo much to see. I suspect that many came home as we did with memories that need time to settle. I must explain we have been to all the ports several times before so our plans are not perhaps usual. Venice: HOT and HUMID!!! Thank heavens we had prebooked tickets for St Marks. We also very much enjoyed the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, wandering the streets, the St Marks Museum, the Rialto Markets etc. Athens: HOT! We got a cab from the port to the Acropolis - 20 USD. Thank heavens we got there early and walked right in with relatively few people about. As we walked down there was a HUGE queue of cruise parties waiting in the heat. We also visited the new Acropolis museum which was superb and a wonderful display of the treasures from there shown as if they were still on site. Kusadasi: A private tour with Tayf Tours. Absolutely fantastic. We were the second people through the turnstile and I have never seen the main street of Ephesus empty before. We probably had it quiet for the first hour. Visited the terraced houses as well which were superb. Got back to Kusadasi around 1130 and did a little bit of shopping in the bazaar. Istanbul: Pouring with rain. :) Taxi to the Topkapi and toured there including the harem. Then walked through the old town to the Santa Sophia, Blue Mosque and Roman Cistern (wonderful). Walked to the Grand Bazaar and spent several hours there and had lunch (great) Walked down through the market streets and visited the Spice (Egyptian Market). Great day and I always want more time. Mykonos: we took the ship's tour to Delos which is a superb place. It was quite rushed and not really long enough. Barely 5 mins in the museum. Had about 90 mins to shop and snack in Mykonos town afterwards. Another place I would like to spend more time in. Naples: got a taki to the Phlegrean Fields Underwater Archaeology Park and dived the sunken city of Baia. Marvellous to swim among the Roman villas and temples - fabulous mosaic floors and statues. Rome: got the train and visited the ancient sites. It was horribly hot - 98F - and quite gruelling. On the way back the train had no air conditioning. Never again. Florence. Had been before in the week before the cruise so we stayed on board. Monte Carlo - gorgeous. Strolled around the yachts. Barcelona - another great city. Visited the food market. Ate tapas. Swam on the beach. Shopped.
All in all a fantastic holiday and we met lots of very very nice people. My only gripes consist of the entertainment which was not a big deal as we were all pretty tired by night time after the touring but which does need improving. The other thing was that we found the Princess alcohol policy really quite strange at least for the first half of the cruise after which it underwent a very noticeable change. In Europe it is legal for people to drink from the age of 18 upwards. Now, we knew that this was probably not the case on Ruby but we though it might be possible to sign a parental waiver as is the case on RCL, Cunard, and Celebrity - all US shipping lines. In any case, on these cruise lines, the policy is enforced in the bars and not with wine at dinner. We have never had a problem on any ship before giving our daughters a glass of wine with their food. Bear in mind that they are 18 and 20. Anyway, for the first half of the cruise we had to have a rather humiliating exercise every dinner time where we would agree with the waiter that he would pour our wine and then leave the bottle on the table for us to pour for the girls. Sometimes this needed the appearance of the maire d to happen. Then about half way through, it all changed and the waiters started serving the girls wine!!! I know a lot of other European families were upset by this so maybe there were complaints, I don't know. Don't misunderstand me,no one wanted to get sozzled or order cocktails, but a glass of wine with dinner with parental approval shouldn't be a problem on a ship flying a British (Bermudan) flag in European waters and - last but not least - charging these kids as ADULTS not children. Anyway, slight rant over: :) we loved the ship and would definitely sail on her again although probably not in preference to P&O at least in the next couple of years. It's a great itinerary though.

It appears the tide may have turned for discretionary retailers
The trio has managed to outpace the market since May, leaving stocks like BHP Billiton and Westpac Banking Corp in their wake.
Since mid-May, Myer has added 24.6 per cent, David Jones 16.2 per cent, and Harvey Norman 7 per cent. By comparison, the S&P/ASX 200 has risen 4 per cent over the same period, while BHP Billiton has slipped 7 per cent and Westpac 20 per cent.
Six consecutive official interest rate rises and patchy retail sales data had led many investors to shun discretionary retailers.
But now consumer sentiment is rising steadily, buoyed by a resilient job market.
The Westpac-Melbourne Institute index of consumer sentiment rose 5.4 per cent in August, building on last month's 11.1 per cent gain.
"The early indications are that the consumer strike may be ending," Platypus Asset Management portfolio manager Prasad Patkar said.
"It seems like the worst [for the retailers] has passed and the second half of this year should be better," he added.
Early signs from reporting season suggest shoppers are returning to the big department stores.
David Jones is "cautiously optimistic" about the retail outlook and is gearing up to spend more on marketing to attract shoppers.
The nation's biggest retailer,
Fellow consumer staple group Wesfarmers may not have shot the lights out when it reported its earnings, but it did show strong growth in its supermarkets division, Coles.
"I think what you're really seeing in the retail space are some clear winners and losers", Tribeca Investment Partners portfolio manager Sean Fenton said.
"So it's probably not a question of whether you buy retailers, but whether you buy the right ones."
He likes the department stores Myer and David Jones better than electronic retailers such as JB Hi-Fi.
"Department stores and fast moving fashion are probably looking a little bit more attractive than electronics at the moment", he said.
Not everyone is backing a continued turnaround in the fortunes of the nation's leading retailers, though.
"We're being pretty cautious", Equity Trustees portfolio manager Shaun Manuell said.
"Even though unemployment is down, to us there still seems to be [a case for] caution."
Investors that bought into the Myer float are also likely to be wary, given the stock is trading below its $4.10 issue price.
A cautious outlook statement from JB Hi-Fi appears to support Mr Manuell's view. Since reporting, JB Hi-Fi has climbed just 4 per cent.
Investors in retail stocks will no doubt home in on this week's national release of July sales data.
"Household indebtedness is still high", Mr Manuell said, "People are still going to have that as a focus before they go out there and start spending on their credit cards."
In the June quarter department store sales fell 1.4 per cent.

Halo 4: Playlist Update Inbound, Exploits Patched
Halo 4 is receiving new updates to its playlist every Monday, but 343 Industries is also piggybacking a number of patches into the updates that should improve Halo 4's multiplayer in a number of areas.
First seen by MP1st, the latest update brings these fixes to Halo 4's multiplayer:
• Fixed exploit locations on Complex
• Fixed exploit locations on Haven
• Fixed exploit locations on Ragnarok
• Increased daily XP cap
• Reduced weighting for Ragnarok in BTB/KotH/CTF
• Reduced weighting for Haven in Infinity Slayer and SWAT
343 is also updating its playlist with what it's calling its Free-For-All Throwback playlist, which will give new Halo players a chance to play some of Halo's popular past gametypes. Team Snipers will be replaced with Oddball and King OF The Hill, but here's a list of the maps you'll be playing on:
• Haven
• Adrift
• Complex
• Solace
• Abandon
Also, Halo 4's community manager, Jessica Shea, provides some handy tips for surviving the new multiplayer modes:
While holding the ball, if your closest rival or the game leader is close to killing you, try throwing the Oddball away from them to deny them points.
The Oddball is an instant kill with a melee attack. This is a huge help up-close.
While holding the Oddball, remember that others can see your location.
Grenades and weapons with high impulse will push the Oddball away. Use this to prevent an enemy from picking up the ball.
King of the Hill
The points fanfare now counts up above your reticle. Keep an eye on exactly how many points you're earning while in the hill.
Timing when you go into the hill is a big game changer. It's often best to clear out enemies before rushing in.
Targeting your competition is huge. Take down your closest rivals vying for each valuable point in the hill.
When a hill reaches 5 points or less, the next hill will be highlighted on your HUD as "INCOMING". Keep an eye on this, and plan your moves in advance.
On maps with vehicles, use them to help dominate a hill (and earn special vehicle hill medals while you do it!).

|Home > Sport > Cricket > Article
Fears that modern sensitivities have produced a generation of wusses are wide of the mark. Indeed, they are daily contradicted as lifesavers plough into towering surf in a rescue or a race. No wonder the old-timers were offended to be told the seas were too rough for them a fortnight ago. There is valour among young and aged alike and it must not be restrained. Teenagers fight fires alongside their elders and, like them, do not seek pecuniary reward.
Happily, the Australian cricketers did not flinch in the face of their minor adversity. Indeed, the bowling was as tight as it has been all summer. Hardly a ball was sent down the leg-side and the batsmen waited in vain for something short to dispatch. Considering the attack lacked its three most distinguished members, this precision was praiseworthy. Of course, luck played its part but it generally favours those who press hardest.
England has a top order capable of taking it a long way in the World Cup but here it fell foul to speculations made at tempters sent down by an otherwise persistent opponent. On another day, Marcus Trescothick and Michael Vaughan will punish the sort of deliveries that brought them down. Most of their colleagues will look back with remorse. Nasser Hussain again was given a second chance and still made a duck. His batting has not convinced.
Australia's unsung bowlers served with distinction. Nature allows caterpillars to turn into butterflies. Brad Williams has performed a similar feat and nowadays bowls with his old roar and much more accuracy. Previously, Nathan Bracken has appeared too easygoing for as vigorous an activity as pace bowling. Here, he bent his back and used his brains, always a tricky combination to bring off. Determined to show he has the stomach for a fight, the lanky left-hander moved the ball around and changed gear without anyone noticing, least of all the visiting captain. He deserved his wickets. Both Williams and Bracken looked better bets than Andy Bichel.
Brett Lee was outstanding. Refusing to melt like forgotten chocolate in a hot car, Lee bowled fast without sacrificing line or length. Previously torn between swashbuckle and menace, he is maturing and his deliveries resembled first serves flying down the centre. Sometimes he put bend on his yorkers and then the wicket was threatened. All told, Lee confirmed that he can be relied upon to bowl with control in the middle of the innings.
Even the support men played their parts. Gilchrist did not hesitate to use his spinners. As usual, Brad Hogg confused the Englishmen with his varieties, while Michael Clark bowled his slow 'uns steadily. Judging by his haircut, Clark did not expect to be chosen for this match but it was right to try him. Not that Michael Hussey is without his merits.
The selectors must wish they could take a fresh look at their squad. It was chosen many matches ago. As men are not supposed to be tried twice for the same offence, so selectors cannot revisit their decisions.
Gilchrist and his players left a baking field as men whose tasks have been satisfactorily carried out.
Giving the senior men a rest did no harm. Rather, it gave opportunities to young men proud to wear their country's colours and prepared to go through heat and fire on its behalf.

Patty Cateura
Distant Exposure
Curator: Kimberly Rhodes
March 21- April 25, 2017
Reception: April 7, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Free Admission
The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition Distant Exposure by Patty Cateura. To counteract the passive intake of images that bombard us daily, Cateura's paintings entice the viewer to slow down and pause. Her art originates from time spent in remote landscapes, hiking, camping- being in nature. Back in the studio, this inspiring exposure yields flattened and juxtaposed abstract shapes of mountains, vistas, canyons, rivers and sea. Color is precisely chosen and hand-made from dispersion pigment. Perspective is vast and skewed within the infinite expanse of monochromatic space. Occasional floating and fragmented geometric shapes allude to the man-made. Yet nature prevails in hills, trees, desert and pure color fields. Through the openness and sometimes emptiness of her compositions, Cateura evokes nature's vibrancy, power, scale, and stillness as an arresting visual pause from the overdose of our media driven digital lives.
Patty Cateura attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, received an MFA from The Maryland Institute of the Arts and a BA from Oberlin College. Her work has been shown throughout the US including recent solo shows at Robert Henry Contemporary, Brooklyn, NY; Carol Shen Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; The Cooler Gallery, VT; and Gregory Lind Gallery, San Francisco, CA. She has been awarded residencies at: The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts; Yaddo; The MacDowell Colony; Virginia Center for the Creative Arts; and The Millay Colony. She has received painting grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts and The Pollock-Krasner Foundation
Rory Mulligan
Sam I Am
Exhibition: January 24 – February 29, 2017
Reception: February 3, 5:30 – 7:30 PM
ARTIST TALK: February 3, 4;30 ART 106
Free Admission
The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition Sam I Am by Rory Mulligan.
Rory Mulligan is a photographer who explores the history of an urban landscape that was the setting of human violence. He comments on the erasure of the site that attempts to re-write its history. Mulligan compares this guise to ancient male human violence, which he suggests conceals masculine vulnerability.
In addition to the solo exhibition at the Korn Gallery, Mulligan had solo exhibitions at Motus Fort, Tokyo, Japan and Center Gallery at Fordham University, New York, NY. His work was included in group shows at Crosstown Arts, Memphis, TN; Lisa Cooley, New York, NY; Skirball Museum, Cincinnati, OH; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, PA, as well as other galleries and institutions. His awards include the Process Space Residence, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, New York, NY; the Photography Fellowship Commendation Award, Silver Eye Center for Photography, and the Ward Cheney Memorial Award, Yale University, New Haven, CT. His work is collected by The Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Rory Mulligan received a BA from Fordham University and an MFA from Yale University. He currently teaches at Drew University in Madison, NJ.
The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4:00 PM, selected weekends and by appointment.

Norman Lowrey
Singing Masks/Automata/ Multimedia
Curator: Michael Peglau
Exhibition: October 20 – November 18, 2016
Reception: November 11, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Artist Statement
Sounding. Listening. Connecting. Dreaming.
I am an unabashed animist. I believe that everything is infused with what, for want of better word, might be called spirit. There is intelligence at the heart of all matter. Human intelligence is just one peculiar manifestation of this larger ground of being. Other manifestations are radically different, incomprehensible to conventional human sensibilities. Yet all things give voice to the underlying cohering essence, the spirit swirling through cells, molecules, atoms, quarks and superstrings. If we listen carefully we can resonate along with these primary vibrations and receive information, knowledge, altered understanding.
This has been the thrust of the teaching by the Singing Masks that I have been making and employing in ceremonial/performances over the past thirty-five years. Their voices and iconographic presences have been continual reminders of connection with that animistic sense of spirit-essence in rivers, rocks, sky, trees, as well as among all things animate. They have become guides in all my work into shifting perspectives, into experiencing everything as holy (William Blake), into mythic and oneiric reality. This same sensibility has also come to inform my approach to making automata, sculptural instruments and a variety of multimedia creations.
The ceremonial/performance pieces inspired by the Singing Masks are not entertainments in a traditional sense. They are not music, theater or dance meant to tell a story or lead one along a preconceived path. They are more often invitations to dive into ineffable richness and chaos even, to discover and explore
Whenever possible I like to make use of found objects as well as inexpensive materials, including electronics. I have also sometimes incorporated state-of-the-art computer technology to loop and pitch-shift the voices of the masks in real-time. This can be heard in recordings of some performances. I do not hide the technology. Nor do I make much effort to gloss over the inevitable awkward gestures needed to control the devices in my near-blind masked condition. I have an interest in the convergence of the primal and the present, the sacred and the mundane. In the Dream Time presence of the masks, automata, sculptural instruments and multimedia, even the most trivial occurrence may be recognized as having its own kind of perfection and beauty.
Dreaming. Connecting. Listening. Sounding.

Sangram Majumdar
Curator: Margaret Kuntz
Exhibition: August 30-October 6
Reception: September 9, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Artist Statement
Left turns at night.
I only work from life, which is a half-truth.
I make left turns more than right turns, mostly at night. At those stoplights that don't have a green turn signal I wait for a break in the oncoming traffic, and go.
The painting is me in space.
Continuity is contingent on interruptions, or is it the other way around?
'What if's and 'why not's.
Looking begins with naming.
Painting is simultaneity experienced viscerally.
Does knowing something is abstract make it more real?
Does something verifiable open up the possibility for abstract thought?
The image is everywhere; I wonder what stays.
Contours and silhouettes,
Echoes and parallel possibilities,
Spaces interrupted and painterly interventions.

processes of life and decay
June 3 – June 24, 2016
Opening Reception : June 3, 4-6 p.m.
Artist Talk: June 3, 4:30p.m.
I seek to understand why humans are so troubled by the inevitable processes of life and decay that we feel a need to create an artificial distance between ourselves and the aspects of the human experience that make us uncomfortable.
I am speaking to the distancing from our food sources, from our bodies, from our instincts, from the environment and from death. We've developed machines and unnatural procedures in hopes of bypassing the difficult or distressing conditions of life. We try to perpetuate the good: keep our food fresh, preserve our bodies, and fight sickness & corrosion. As in the story of Siddhartha's enlightenment, we are being blinded from the negative sights and ultimately prevented from seeing life for what it really is: as a process of constant change.
With my work I am tracing the symptoms of the epidemic that I observe to be stemming from mankind's disengagement with their natural processes, and through the creation of investigative artworks that focus on the abnormalities arising out of repetitive manipulation, I offer up my notes to the world in the hopes that someone more political than I will be curious enough to respond with a solution.

Robert Yarber
Sleep has Eyes
Exhibition: March 17 – April 30, 2016
Reception: April 1, 5:30 -7:30 p.m.
Artist Talk: March 31, 5:00 p.m.
The Korn Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition Sleep has Eyes by Robert Yarber on view March 17 through April 30, 2016. The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4 p.m., selected weekends and by appointment.
This exhibition consists of paintings and drawings Yarber has done from 2005 to the present. Organized by Drew Professor of Art, Michael Peglau, the exhibition features work whose focus lies not in the pursuit of simple family resemblances of style nor of a series of imagistically related works. Instead Yarber has elected work for this show which all arose of what he has termed, 'the intensity of his response to the moment.'
Since the early 1970's, Yarber has created a unique oeuvre which is remarkable in the compositional complexities of its inhabited and natural spaces and in its deployment of figures, ranging from supine to falling to levitating. Yarber's work is no less fascinating in terms of his great resources as a colorist. Beyond his total command of both artificial and natural light effects, he often pushes his color into an extreme zone, where coupled with his imagery, it unmoors his work from being exclusively engaged in a shared social world. Instead, his color in it's aggressive, incandescent interaction with his imagery opens into an interior world where, while we all venture there, unlike Yarber few of us return fully cognizant of its uncanny vividness.
Yarber has had a remarkable career with numerous exhibits in New York, including the Whitney Biennial, many exhibitions internationally, including the Venice Biennial, and many exhibitions in major galleries in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He currently is a distinguished Professor of Art at Pennsylvania State University.
Ben Pranger
January 18 – February 20
Reception: February 5, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Ben Pranger's current sculpture combines organic and architectural elements in hybrid constructions of papier-mâché, plaster, wood and paint. Moving between organization and chaos, the work often begins with a fragment of a previous work. Blobby masses are built around skeletal structures or scaffolding supports bulbous growths. These contrasting forms operate in tension: pixilated grids emerge from fluid forms like cities colonizing an indeterminate terrain. The sculpture is a kind of failed architecture, where structures, overwhelmed by disaster, collapse under the weight of matter, only to rise again from the ruins to rebuild the city anew. While the sculpture is decidedly low-tech, investigating material-based abstraction, it also imagines future worlds and habitations, suggesting sci-fi, dystopian scenarios.
Ben Pranger earned a BFA from Oberlin College and MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He has shown his work throughout the U.S., including recent group shows at Drawing Rooms (NJ), Artist-Run/ Satellite Show (Miami), Trestle Gallery (NY) and Grizzly Grizzly (PA). He has participated in artist residencies at Kohler Art/Industry, Fine Arts Work Center of Provincetown, the Marie Walsh Sharpe Studio Program, and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and has received sculpture grants from the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the New Jersey Council for Art.
Robin Koss
Exhibition: October 20 – November 20, 2015
Reception: November 6, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition, Fragments, which includes recent etching and collage work by Robin Koss, on view October 20 through November 20, 2015. The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4p.m., selected weekends and by appointment.
Working primarily with digital and time-based media, printmaking, and collage, Robin Koss explores the nature of perceived experience and the space of the mind. Her work suggests a journey through an imagined landscape. Drawing from an exploration of natural and constructed environments, she creates intricately woven images that are both recognizable and abstracted at once. By physically layering elements within a composition she echoes the process of remembering, and as images fade away and reappear, Koss produces a dynamic web of sensory information and visual imagery.
Robin Koss was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She earned a BFA from the University of Delaware in 2002 and an MFA in Computer Animation and Digital Imaging from New York University in 2004. In 2012 she completed her MFA in Studio Art from Maine College of Art. Robin has participated in numerous residencies both nationally and internationally, in places such as Florence Italy, Siena Italy, The Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice Italy, Vermont Studio Center, and The Printmaking Center of New Jersey. She has exhibited work in New York, Boston, Portland, Maine and in numerous cities in the state of New Jersey. She currently works in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York City.
Jason Karolak
Exhibition: September 3 – October 8, 2015
Reception: Thursday September 10, 5-7pm
The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition, Linemaker, which includes recent drawings and paintings by Jason Karolak, on view September 3 through October 8, 2015. The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4pm, selected weekends and by appointment.
Rooted in a drawing process, Jason Karolak's paintings are composed of brightly colored linear elements set against a context of dark grounds. Through addition and erasure, Karolak builds permeable structures that fluctuate between a graphic surface and a deeper dimensional space. The works are geometric and abstract, but nevertheless suggest elements that are absorbed from the physical world.
Leading up to the painting process, Karolak spends time making ink drawings and sourcing form and color. The habit of walks in his studio neighborhood of northwestern Brooklyn as well as in more natural settings, such as Pelham Bay Park and the New Jersey Shoreline, assist the artist in gathering chromatic palettes and structural elements. Artificial lights, signage, architecture, and encounters in the landscape provide concrete experiences of phenomena that get digested into an abstract studio language. Neither formal or overtly expressive, Karolak's imperfect geometry suggests a kind of personal handwriting that manifests on the scale of the body.
Critic Thomas Micchelli writes of the work in Hyperallergic, "The vitality of Karolak's painting proceeds from a deft understanding of the simplest of ingredients: the handmade line; the active ground; the freedom of improvisation and the rigor of minimal means. The paintings are also a joy to look at — the unabashed hedonism of their hot colors and choreographed shapes leads the senses to a contemplation of their propulsive infrastructure, where the barely visible and the well-hidden act as dark matter simultaneously holding the elements together and breaking them apart."
Jason Karolak was born in Rochester, MI in 1974. He earned a BFA from Pratt Institute in 1997 and an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2006. He has shown extensively across the country, including recent solo exhibitions at McKenzie Fine Art in New York and Robischon Gallery in Denver. His work has been reviewed in The New York Times, ARTnews, Art in America, and Hyperallergic, among others. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY and is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Art at Drew University.
Elizabeth Korn and Her Times
May 29 – June 30, 2015
Opening Reception May 29, 4-6pm
Curated by Kether Tomkins, Alexa Zbieranowski, Anthony Rossi
and Professor of Art History, Emerita, Sara Lynn Henry
Born in Breslau, then Germany, Elizabeth P. Korn studied at the National Academy of Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Breslau, with subsequent studies at the Berlin Museum of Fine and Applied Arts, then in Rome, Madrid and New York City, where she took classes at Columbia University, the Institute of Fine Art, The New School and the Art Students League. In 1939, she and her eminent scientist husband, Arthur Korn, and their 17-year-old son fled Nazi Germany because of their Jewish heritage, first attending a scientific conference in Norway, then making their way to the United States, nearly penniless, where they settled in Jersey City, New Jersey, close to Arthur's new position at Stevens Institute of Technology. Elizabeth worked as an illustrator of children's books and as a portrait artist, mostly of scientists. In 1946, after her husband's death, Elizabeth became the founding professor of the Drew art department, teaching both art history and studio art as a one-person department up until her last year of teaching, with her retirement in 1966. She was a cultured, effective and caring teacher. Through her personal charisma and support, several of her students went on to distinguished art careers. During her time at Drew and after her retirement, Elizabet painted in a number of daring modalities-abstract, expressionist, the Neo-Dada reliefs with classical motif, all of which you can see i the exhibition.

The League of Peace and Power
Exhibition: March 24 – April 24, 2015
Reception: April 10, 5:30-7:30pm
The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition, The League of Peace and Power, photographs by Rebecca Soderholm, on view March 24 through April 24, 2015. The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4pm, selected weekends and by appointment.
The title of the exhibition is derived from a colloquial name for the 15th century Iroquois Confederacy. The League of Peace and Power acknowledges a descendant human spirit that has persevered through white settlement, the industrial revolution, the fall of manufacturing, and now the social landscape of a new American economy.
Soderholm finds everyday narratives that reveal environmental and economic pressures, determination and binding love, in places that host the risk-takers, the hard-workers and the left behind. A man, exhausted, cleans mud out of his plumbing store in Fort Plain after a flood in the Mohawk Valley. Boys bullied in the vacant lot of a defunct glove factory respond with a united hardscrabble resolve to fight back. A bridge over Rockwell Falls is a destination for bikini gawkers, graffiti writers and thrill-seekers who drop eighty feet into a narrow ravine. A young mom reads her baby a bedtime story in the sweet domestic space she creates in an RV campground for motocross racers.
The eleven prints in this exhibition are part of a larger body of work made across Central and Northern New York State between 2011 and 2014.
Soderholm received an MFA from Yale University and a BFA from R.I.T. Her photographs and videos have been shown in recent solo exhibitions at 511 Gallery in New York and the Warehouse Gallery at Syracuse University. She was named the Meredith S. Moody Artist in Residence at Yaddo in 2013 and was an artist in residence at the Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts and the LeWitt/Doran Residency in Italy. Prints from The League of Peace and Power are in the permanent collection of the Yale University Art Gallery and are published in, and on the cover of, the 2015 edition of Stone Canoe: A Journal of Arts, Literature and Social Commentary. Her work is represented by 511 Gallery in New York.
Martha Clippinger
gabi ganai
Curator: Rita Keane
Exhibition: February 6 – March 6, 2015
Reception: February 6, 5:30-7:30pm
The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition, gabi ganai, by Martha Clippinger, on view February 6 through March 6, 2015. The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4pm, selected weekends and by appointment. The artist will deliver a talk on her work in the Korn Gallery at 5pm on February 6.
The term gabi ganai comes from the Zapotec term "around;" this term of motion describes the revolving and repeating visual patterns in Clippinger's work, her practice of gathering materials, and the way that the viewer is intended to experience the works that echo each other in form. The artist's recent work has been inspired by her encounters with Zapotec art, language, and culture during a Fulbright fellowship in Oaxaca, Mexico last year.
Clippinger's work celebrates the expressive possibilities of both painting and sculpture as media; it is sculptural in volume and in the use of materials such as wood and cardboard, but the works equally create meaning and visual interest through painted strokes of bold color and pattern. The works have a remarkable energy and vitality. It is the kind of art that changes as you approach it and as you move around it—as your first impression of bright color and pattern shifts to an appreciation of surfaces on the close-up view. The installation of the works also engages the built environment of the gallery, interacting with windows, wall, and ledges, challenging the viewer to reconsider the traditional relationship between art and its environment.
Clippinger lives and works in Durham, NC. She earned an MFA from the Mason Gross School of Art at Rutgers University, and received her BA in Art History/Visual Arts from Fordham. She has been a fellow at the MacDowell Colony, Edward F. Albee Foundation, and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation, and has recently been selected to participate in The Golden Foundation's Exploratory Residency. She has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards, including the 2014 American Academy of Arts and Letters Purchase Award and a 2013 Fulbright Research Grant. Clippinger's work has been featured in The Brooklyn Rail, Hyperallergic, and The Huffington Post. She has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in the U.S. and internationally and is represented by Elizabeth Harris Gallery in New York.
Valerie Hegarty
January 8 – January 30, 2015
The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition "Coming Home" by Andrew W. Mellon Arts and the Common good Artist in Residence Valerie Hegarty, on view January 8-January 30, 2015. The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4pm, selected weekends and by appointment.
"Coming Home" comprises two pieces: an installation made primarily from painted paper entitled Parents' Bedroom (2014) and the acrylic on canvas painting Dripping Watermelon and Peaches (2014). The installation is based on the color scheme of Hegarty's parents' bedroom when she was young, which included purple striped wallpaper that was eventually stripped and repainted to be powder blue. Hegarty created the installation by first pasting layers of painted paper to the gallery walls and floor and then peeling back the layers to create an effect of a decaying and/or abandoned space. Parents' Bedroom is a meditation on memory, space and personal history where the artist's remembrance of a room from her past becomes materialized in what is in effect a life-size collage or drawing. Hegarty made the piece during the Fall 2014 portion of her residency at Drew University and it was installed first for a group show in Chelsea called "Apocryphal Times" at Friedman Benda Gallery.
Dripping Watermelon and Peaches continues Hegarty's investigation of the social, cultural, and psychological connotations of still-life painting. Playing on the symbolic use of reminders of mortality common in still-life painting, Hegarty's fruit drips paint and bleeds color onto the walls of the gallery like bodies in distress being drained of life. Exhibited in conjunction with Parents' Bedroom, the painting reflects the personal themes of the installation as a physical marker of the parent-child relationship as both parties age, memories fading and bodies failing.
Valerie Hegarty is based in Brooklyn, New York and Drew's first Andrew W. Mellon Arts and the Common Good Artist-in-Residence. Hegarty creates paintings, sculptures, and installations that comment on American history and society, addressing such themes as colonization, Manifest Destiny, environmental degradation, and repressed histories. She has a B.A. from Middlebury College and an M.F.A from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Among Hegarty's many recent solo exhibitions in New York City are shows at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery, Marlborough Chelsea, the High Line Public Art Program, and the Brooklyn Museum, which also features her work in their permanent collection. Valerie Hegarty is represented by Mike Weiss Gallery in New York City.
Claire Sherman
New Paintings
October 17 – November 21
Reception: November 7, 5:30–7:30 PM
The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition, New Paintings, by Claire Sherman, on view October 17 through November 21, 2014. The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4pm, selected weekends and by appointment.
Subjects central to this exhibition are the giant sequoias of the southern Sierra Nevada, as well as the California coastal redwoods. Gestural and heroic, Claire Sherman's canvases investigate the confusion of scale and space. Purposefully composed in a single day, each composition originates from a specific place and a finite period of time, rendered in sweeping lines and impasto paint. Sherman intentionally retains all of the stumbles, victories, and awkward brushstrokes that lay tangled on the surfaces of each heavily worked canvas.
The physical nature of Sherman's painting method is heavily influenced by references she draws through her extensive travel and eclectic reading. Joe Fyfe describes in his catalogue essay for her recent exhibition in September at DC Moore Gallery in New York, "Sherman's landscape pictures demonstrate an awareness of this semiotic distinction in the very tenuousness between the originating site and its depiction. Sherman makes no bones about how a landscape site can be a stand-in for a psychological state, a romantic scene, or a historical convention, but is ultimately an archetype."
Sherman graduated in 2005 with an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and received her BA from University of Pennsylvania in 2003. She has completed residencies at the Terra Foundation for American Art, The MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's Workspace program. Her work is in numerous public and private collections, and she is represented by DC Moore Gallery in New York, and Kavi Gupta Gallery in Chicago.
Katie Bell
Curated by Kimberly Rhodes
Exhibition: September 2 – October 3, 2014
Opening Reception: September 5, 5:30 – 7:30 PM
The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition "Waver" by Katie Bell, which will include a large site-specific wall installation, on view September 2nd through October 3rd..The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4pm, selected weekends and by appointment.
As the title of Bell's exhibition suggests, the psychology and anxiety of choice plays a major role in both the decorating world and in the realm of painting. Within both practices, the idea of remodeling is a way to move forward in the creation process. In the home, remodeling is a way to make new or to cover up the past. In terms of abstract painting, remodeling, for Bell, is an unsettling struggle between hiding and revealing, as demonstrated by many of the pieces in the exhibition.
The works on view in "Waver" also investigate the ways that home surfaces (carpet, wallpaper, linoleum, vinyl, etc.) relate to abstraction and how the building process relates to making a painting. Holding Arms (2013), for example, re-configures familiar building materials such as wood, laminate, and drywall into a dynamic layered arrangement that highlights features of interior architecture that are usually concealed in a home and demonstrates their visual potential as textured, colored, and shaped forms in an exploding abstract composition. The small stone hanging from a string at the bottom of the piece adds an element of surprise and delight that characterizes Bell's work, from her site-specific wall installations to smaller plaster based pieces such as Finding Yourself (2014), and signifies the physical and kinetic manifestations of "Waver" (to tremble, quiver, shake) present in Bell's work.
Katie Bell was born in Rockford, Illinois. She received her BA from Knox College in 2008 and graduated in 2011 from the Rhode Island School of Design with an MFA in Painting. Bell has shown her work at a variety of venues, including Storefront Ten Eyck (Brooklyn, NY), Nudashank (Baltimore, MD), PLUG Projects (Kansas City, MO), Okay Mountain Gallery (Austin, TX), Mixed Greens (NYC), and the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum (Lincoln, MA). In 2011 she was an artist in residence at the prestigious Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation based in Brooklyn, NY. She currently has an installation on view at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and was recently shortlisted for Thames and Hudson's upcoming book '100 Painters of Tomorrow'. She has been named by Brooklyn-based critic Paddy Johnson as one of '8 Great Brooklyn Artists Under 30' and has been featured in BOMB magazine and New American Paintings. Bell lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Palestinian Textiles: In Honor of Dr. Robert J. Bull
Curated by Students of the Art History class Islamic Art, Prof. Rita Keane and Gabriele Hiltl-Cohen
Exhibition: March 25 – April 24, 2014
Opening Reception: April 4, 2014, 5:30-7:30pm
The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition, "Palestinian Textiles" from the Collection of Robert J. and Vivian A. Bull," on view March 25th through April 24th, 2014. The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4pm, selected weekends and by appointment.
The exhibition is drawn from the Palestinian textile and metalwork collection of Robert J. and Vivian A. Bull. Dr. Robert J. Bull was a professor of church history at Drew University from 1955 until 1991; he passed away in 2013. Dr. Vivian A. Bull taught economics at Drew for more than thirty years and has served since 2012 as the University's President for the Interim Term.
The objects in the exhibition, from the early part of the twentieth century, were acquired over decades of the couple's research and travel in the Middle East. A highlight of the exhibition will be seven women's dresses with embroidery panels, made by women for their own wear and therefore reflecting their own interests and identities. These dresses and other textiles celebrate the Palestinian embroidery tradition, known for its brilliant color, complexity, and high level of craftsmanship.
The exhibition is curated by the students in the Art History course Islamic Art, under the direction of Gabriele Hiltl-Cohen of the Drew Art Department. It honors the memory of Robert J. Bull and exemplifies the efforts of Dr. Bull and President Bull to educate students and the larger community about the cultures of the Middle East.
Ryan Burns
Climate Proxies
Curated by Margaret Kuntz and Gabriele Hiltl-Cohen
Opening Reception February 7, 5:30 – 7:30 PM
The Korn Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition, "Climate Proxies" by Ryan Burns, on view February 4th through March 5th, 2014. The Gallery is located in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey and is open Tuesday through Friday 12:30-4pm, selected weekends and by appointment.
Ryan Burns is an artist who has been working for 20 years. He has produced a body of work that includes painting, drawing, sculpture and collage. His "Climate Proxies" exhibition is part of a larger, on-going project entitled Biodiscourse that includes a series of old-growth tree stump rubbings on collage. The project documents the annihilation of ancient forest habitat. Reminiscent of gravestone rubbings, the collages document the growth rings of historic and specimen trees downed in recent super-storms. His work also addresses the role of deforestation and fossil fuel emissions in climate change by the method he uses to access remote wilderness sites. Burns converted a decommissioned ambulance to run on waste vegetable oil salvaged from restaurants along his routes.
Most recently, in 2013 he received the Ford Family Foundation Award and the Puffin Foundation Grant. In 2011 he was awarded the Oregon Arts Commission Grant, the Black Rock Art Foundation Grant and he was Artist in Residence at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology.
Ryan Burns has exhibited across the United States.
Lisa Kereszi
Joe's Junk Yard & Other American Dreams
Curated by Rebecca Soderholm
September 6 – October 11, 2013
Closing Reception October 11, 5:30-7:30p
Lisa Kereszi grew up amidst the iron scraps and car parts of the family business, a junkyard started by her Grandfather, Joe, in 1949, in Trainer Pennsylvania. Over the next fifty-four years the junkyard prospered and declined, like the American automobile industry on which it depended. Kereszi began photographing at the junkyard in 1992 as an undergraduate student at Bard, and continued to photograph there until the junkyard closed in 2003. Along with piles of tires and the rusty carcasses of old cars, the business also contained the family's pain, pride and hard-as-nails sense of humor. A World War II vet and former competitive boxer, Joe practiced punches on customers who attempted to haggle over a price. An obsessive documentarian, he also made scrapbooks of family pictures, newspaper clippings and memorabilia, creating odd juxtapositions of the American dream in theory and practice. When Joe's son was killed in what was officially called a "justified police homicide," the sad facts of history are noted in ballpoint pen on the pictures and pages of his scrapbooks.
In "Joe's Junk Yard and Other American Dreams," Kereszi presents her own photographs alongside business and personal documents that tell the story of one family's struggle to hold on to the past as the world changed around them. In addition, five larger-scale photographs from two of Kereszi's other bodies, "Fun n' Games" and "Fantasies," reveal an aesthetic that has grown out of her experiences. These works turn trash into treasure, as Kereszi reveals the seams in places we construct for pleasure. As Larry Fink writes in the forward to Joe's Junk Yard, "Lisa Kereszi is like a mushroom born from the spores of steel, soft and tough, ready to deal. Her eye is but a dome for an inner vision ordered by a poetics of the dire."
Lisa Kereszi grew up in Suburban Philadelphia. She received her BA in 1995 from Bard College. She is currently the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Art at the Yale School of Art, where she received her MFA in 2000. Her work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and others. Kereszi is represented by Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York. Her most recent solo exhibition, "The Party's Over," in 2012, was a thematic follow-up to her 2009 book, Fun And Games," which explores the ways in which we devise escapist environments and spectacles to remove ourselves from the realities of everyday life. In 2003, she was commissioned to photograph Governors Island by the Public Art Fund, which culminated in a 2004 exhibition catalog. Governors Island explored what was left behind on a former army and coast guard base a stone's throw from Manhattan. In addition, Kereszi has two other monographs in print: Fantasies, 2008, about the burlesque revivalist movement and Joe's Junk Yard, released in 2012.

Red Sox edge Yanks on Napoli's second homer of night

Red Sox edge Yanks on Napoli's second homer of night
BOSTON -- Mike Napoli is known as a streak hitter, and the reason why was evident at Fenway Park on Sunday night and into Monday morning.
The Red Sox first baseman hit a three-run homer in the third inning and then won the game with a solo shot with two outs in the 11th, giving Boston a wild 8-7 victory over the New York Yankees.
In between the homers, Napoli, another of the unlikely heroes carrying the Red Sox through this bounce-back season, struck out twice with two outs and two men on and then, in the eighth inning, hit into a double play with the bases loaded.
Such is life with Napoli, who strikes out a lot but has driven in 62 runs, six more than he delivered with the Texas Rangers last season.
"That's what great about this game; you always get another chance," he said. "I was glad I got the opportunity to go up there and make up for it."
He said the situation and then the count had him swinging for something big.
Napoli's 13th homer of the season (his second career walk-off shot) made a loser of reliever Adam Warren (1-1) and kept the Red Sox a game and a half ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East. The teams open a four-game series at Fenway Park Monday night.
"I guess that's a snapshot, somewhat, of his career path," manager John Farrell said of Napoli. "We know and certainly live with some swing and miss, but the ability to drive the ball out of the ballpark to all fields is present every time he steps into the batter's box."
Napoli, whose three-run homer came off CC Sabathia, got a break on a close 2-2 pitch in the 11th, then fouled off the next delivery before drilling the game winner into the center field bleachers, ending the four-hour, 46-minute marathon.
Pedro Beato (1-0) worked the 11th for the win.
The winning run scored after umpire Mike Everitt blew a ruling at second base, calling Eduardo Nunez (three hits for the second straight game) out stealing, ending the top of the 11th. Replays showed the call was missed.
Boston (60-40) became the first major league team to 60 wins after taking two of three games from New York (52-46).
The battered Yankees, losers of four of their last five and 3-6 against Boston this season, fell back to seven games behind the Red Sox in fourth place. They lost Sunday night after rallying back from a 7-3 deficit.
"We battled back and gave us an opportunity to win that game," manager Joe Girardi said. "It's a shame we had to lose in extra innings."
David Robertson pitched out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the eighth. He got Napoli, 7-for-12 with two homers and 20 RBIs with the bases loaded this season, to ground into a double play. Since 2011, hitters are 1-for-23 against the man they call "Houdini" with the bases loaded.
Jonny Gomes (No. 8) also homered for Boston.
Sabathia, pitching on his 33rd birthday, was dreadful. He was shelled for seven runs on nine hits in five-plus innings.
"I sucked. I have no excuses," he said. "I sucked. Not very good. It sucks. Embarrassing. I have to try and work through it. I have to figure something out to try and help my team -- not hurt them."
Sabathia, whose ERA is 4.37 (the latest in a season he's been over 4.00 since 2005), has allowed 15 runs on 17 hits in just nine innings over his last two starts.
"He's got to straighten it out. That's the bottom line," Girardi said. "It's kind of strange. He's been so good for so long. You see him struggle a little bit, it's kind of strange. It's not something we're used to seeing."
Ryan Dempster, 0-5 lifetime against the Yankees, overcame a rocky start (much of it fueled by his own throwing error) and pitched into the sixth inning. He left with the lead, but more bad defense helped New York rally.
The Yankees failed to hit a home run in the series, the first time they played at least a three-game series at Fenway Park without a homer since 1995.
Brett Gardner had three hits and two walks and became the first Yankees center fielder to reach base five times in a Fenway Park game since Mickey Mantle in 1954.

Realizing how bloodless that sounded, Rupert added, "Sounds romantic."
His idea was to become modern, efficient and bloodless by using lethal injection.
They've begun to call themselves "post-Zionist" - a bland, bloodless phrase.
He began running in Iowa almost five years ago as a slick, phony robot; a heartless, bloodless, humorless CEO.
At which point it becomes clear that we have entered a minimalist, bloodless horror movie.
The girl looking down on him closed her eyes for a moment, and Cleves saw her bloodless lips move, and bent nearer, listening.
All present were startled at his wild eyes, his bloodless face.
Their cheeks were bloodless, and in place of hair writhing serpents curled around their brows.
The face of the young doctor was bloodless, his eyes wild and staring.
What are the bloodless chronicles I pore over beside those clear, live chronicles!

Turbines transport to affect traffic in E Cape
20:28 03/08/2014
Johannesburg - The transportation of wind turbine components would affect traffic in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality in the Eastern Cape, the standing committee for infrastructure, engineering, electricity and energy said on Sunday.
"Henceforth every Monday, Wednesday and Friday one complete component will be transported to the project site by a convoy of heavy duty trucks leaving the port at 08:30," committee chairperson Andile Mfunda said in a statement.
The 20 wind turbines, which would be transported from the Port of Ngqura to the Grassridge Wind Farm on the Addo Road, would provide 40 000 households with electricity when completed.

Tom Moore broke the news this afternoon that Ed Stefanski has contacted Doug Collins' agent about the Sixers' vacant coaching job. A quick opinion, helpful links and a flash poll after the jump.
Here's a quick link to Collins' coaching record. He's taken five teams to the playoffs, taking two of the five past the first round. He coached both Michael Jordan and Grant Hill on their way up. On an unrelated-to-coaching note, he was a member of the 1972 U.S. National Team that still refuses to accept their bogus silver medals, and the Sixers selected him #1 overall in the 1973 draft.
Vote in the poll below, I have some quick thoughts to follow:
I'd probably answer the poll above with the third option. Collins is a name, even though he's been out of coaching for some time, he's been around the game. He's pretty well respected. He doesn't say things that make me scratch my head when he's broadcasting games. He has a track record of success. If he's brought in to coach, and coach alone, I think he'd command respect in the locker room and demand execution from the guys on the team. Whether or not he would accept being only a coach is another matter, and not one we really need to worry about at this point. If he gets an interview, it's probably going to be either Stefanski or Larry Brown who conducts it, and he's not going to replace either of them as the GM. I feel like Collins could be a positive influence on this young roster, which is important, but I don't think he's necessarily a long-term solution. He seems to have worn out his welcome everywhere he's been.
I think the Sixers could do much worse, but they could also do better. Collins is kind of a safe pick, a guy who I believe would get the franchise headed in the right direction, maybe create some buzz, but not much. I think he'd be a steadying influence for some of the young guys, and he'd definitely help with their development. I have two main concerns if he's chosen as the head coach, (1) Is he ready, willing and able to commit to the long-term build? (2) If the Sixers pay his asking price, will they have the patience to allow the team to mature slowly, or will it be a win-at-all-costs type of situation?
Your thoughts in the comments, as usual.

Parishioners of 13 northeast Ohio churches closed by the bishop but spared by the Vatican must wait to find out if they will re-open.
Cleveland Bishop Richard Lennon says in a letter to be distributed at weekend Masses that the issue of re-opening the churches "is not nearly as clear-cut as it may appear."
He says there is no easy or perfect solution and he hasn't made any decisions. He pledges to respect church authority.
Two weeks ago, a Vatican office took the extraordinary step of ordering the churches re-opened.
Patricia Schulte-Singleton, who is working to re-open the churches, says the time for study is over and it's time to obey Rome.
The churches were among 50 closed or merged because of declining numbers of parishioners and priests.

Ghana close to 100% mobile penetration
According to an article on www.modernghana.com, the country has now reached 98% market penetration for mobile phone subscriptions.
The article is based on statistics obtained from the National Communications Authority (NCA) of Nigeria. It details findings that Ghana now has 11,962,224 active mobile phone subscriptions as at January 2009, representing the almost 100% market penetration.
According these figures, this is almost ten times the number of fixed line subscribers, currently below 150,000. The article further says that MTN currently owns more than 50% of the market with over 6 million subscribers, followed by network providers Tigo and OneTouch.
Zain, who entered the Ghanaian market late last year, is already gaining market share from other competitors.
The original article can be found HERE.
