The latest in a line of decisions interpreting what constitutes fair use under copyright law came from the Southern District of New York in March in the case of Cariou v. Prince and is now on appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
The decision by U.S. District Court Judge Deborah A.

As part of "ECHO: Sampling Visual Culture," a glimpse into the wide-ranging art of appropriation in the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the entirety of Kara Walker's silkscreen series, "Emancipation Approximation," is on view in its own dedicated gallery. It is not to be missed.
Every time I think about Walker's work, which uses cut-paper silhouettes to weave a powerful and unsettling narrative about racism in the Antebellum south and its modern legacy, I come back to a penetrating review of that body of work by the Washington Post's Robin Givhan.

The fate of a much-anticipated new electrical engineering building planned for the Washington State University Vancouver campus was in limbo Wednesday after the Senate and House released their respective capital construction budgets for 2009-11.
The Senate budget includes a $39 million appropriation to build the four-story classroom and laboratory building, which would house state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories for electrical engineering and computer science programs. It would be adjacent to an $18.3 million semiconductor testing laboratory proposed by the Washington Technology Center, a statewide economic development organization.
