Like Cézanne, Ablow toys with the construction of space. Ablow paints objects on the brink of chaos and objects that appear as if they could collapse on themselves any moment. Coupled with their stability, this tension is what brings the viewer back, spell-bound, to Ablow’s work...
...heard the rumblings. Hollywood is on the brink of a massive shutdown by writers' and actors' strikes. The ripple effect would cost Los Angeles nearly $2 billion a month in lost revenue. Even more alarming to the rest of the world, it could totally screw up next fall's TV season, and lots of less-than-perfect film scripts (yes, even less perfect than usual) have been rushed into production. This week the Writers Guild of America is due back at the bargaining table with producers, but there's a problem: studios used to be mom-and-pop shops...

Consider the case of Somalia in 1993, where American soldiers were brought in to subdue the tribal warfare that had brought the country to the brink of famine. Not only did the American troops fail in their peacekeeping mission (to deliver food to civilians and stem the violence), but they also succeeded in offending the Somali people through their brazen disregard for cultural mores and practices...
