...Deborah Wojcik's paintings of small boys are set apart from the other pieces by their neatly stylized, almost commercial execution; they are a smart treatment of issues of self-presentation that are usually seen only in the feminine inflection. Like most any group show, "Salon" is uneven and loose; however, it contains samples of compelling, skillful and surprisingly mature work...
...behind the microphone, and Steve Tyrell is no exception. Having contributed to the Father of the Bride soundtracks, Tyrell has decided to try his hand at a full length project, A New Standard, composed entirely of jazz standards (doubling, naturally, on producing duties).

In terms of width, the Agassiz Theater is a small space to begin with, but coupled with the fact that almost half of the performing space is reduced with the ship's quarter deck...
According to Steen, the problem is the result of two bottlenecks in the current system set-up. The first results from slow communication between the network and the storage system, and the second is due to uneven distribution of workload...
