Katy Kuhn Pockets Full of Sand Artwork
- Summary
A fourth-generation Californian, painter Katy Kuhn drawn to the beauty in chaos. Her work—at once ambiguous and evocative, lovely and edgy—encompasses natural and man-made worlds, exploring the places where they intersect. Painted in rich swaths of color, Pockets Full of Sand captures an impressionistic moment in time, when one might return from sea to shore, through reeds and dunes, to discover deposits of sand in clothing pockets. A deep blue horizontal swath of paint provides a focal point that invites you in to take that journey.

In the Garden
Making the most of your lawn
Take a look at your lawn and think about next spring. If you want a healthy, beautiful green lawn next spring, you need to start planning for it soon. The next several weeks are the time to take a soil test, develop a liming and fertilizer plan, and learn more about seeding and weed control.
By September it's time to begin renovating existing cool-season turfgrass lawns or establishing new ones.
Cool-season turf grass such as tall fescue is the most commonly used grass in the Richmond area. It looks good in the spring, early summer, and fall but can go dormant in the heat of summer unless irrigated.
The Henrico Extension office has two programs coming up soon that can help. "Establishing a New Lawn, Renovating an Old One" will be the topic of an evening seminar offered Wednesday, Aug. 8, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Henrico Extension Office at 8600 Dixon Powers Drive. And on Saturday, Aug. 11, a SMART Lawn Care Field Day will be held at the Extension office from 8:30 a.m. to noon with vendors demonstrating lawn-care rental equipment and products followed by a comprehensive seminar on year-round lawn care. Registration for both free programs is requested at 501-5160.
"Cool season grasses grow best when temperatures are cooler and rainfall is more reliable," explains Henrico Extension Agent Karen Carter. "That makes the period between mid-September and the end of October an excellent window of opportunity for the successful establishment of new grass."
"You can go outside the window," she adds "but you're taking the chance that conditions are not going to be as good."
Plus seeding by the first part of October helps ensure that new grass is well-enough established to tolerate weed control products that get applied in late October and November.
Start with a soil test. "You need the information provided by a soil test to match fertilizer and lime to the needs of your grass," says Carter.
Aerating your lawn is also a good idea in the fall. A core-aerating machine pulls plugs of soil out of the ground and deposits them on top of the lawn. The process relieves soil compaction and improves water infiltration and air exchange for the roots.
"Aerating is a good idea every year, even if you aren't putting down new seed," says Carter, "and it's a must if you're going to overseed."
Follow the SON rule when it comes to fertilizing your lawn and add one pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet in September, October, and November. Your soil test will tell you if phosphate and potash are also needed.
For more help, consider registering for the SMART Lawns program, available until the beginning of September. Under the program, specially trained Henrico Master Gardeners perform a soil test on your lawn and provide you with a Nutrient Management Plan. They'll also measure your lawn to aid you in applying the right amount of fertilizer and other lawn care products that have application rates specified as "per thousand square feet."
The registration form for the SMART Lawns program is online, and the cost is $20.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Interventional Cardiology Fellowship Program
David Lasorda, DO, Program Director
Length of program: 1 year
Number of position(s): 3
The interventional fellowship is a one-year dedicated program for trainees who have completed a three-year approved cardiology fellowship, are fully trained in diagnostic angiography and wish to devote a substantial portion of their careers to interventional cardiology.
A faculty of 20 interventionalists, supervised by the catheterization laboratory director and the division director, are responsible for training and draw selectively on a caseload of roughly 3,600 interventional procedures a year. The performance and progress of the fellow is reviewed quarterly by the Fellowship Committee, based on monthly evaluations by the faculty. Fellows are expected to participate in a very active research program. The clinical training includes:
- balloon angioplasty
- directional, rotational and extraction atherectomy
- use of coronary stents
- Doppler/Prism Wire
- peripheral interventions
- primary angioplasty
Currently, the research components of the program include:
- primary angioplasty for myocardial infarction
- the role of coronary Doppler flow recordings
- intracoronary ultrasound as an adjunct to intervention
- intracoronary radiation
- GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors with interventional procedures
The Interventional Cardiology Fellowship is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
About Our Program
- ACGME Accredited Program
- 1 Year Program – Hospital Rotations include:
- Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA
- The Washington Hospital, Washington, PA
- Heritage Valley Health System-Beaver, Beaver, PA
- 4 Funded Positions; Accept 3 Candidates
- Subspecialty of Internal Medicine Core Program
- December Application Cycle Specialty thru ERAS
Our Interventional Cardiology Fellowship Program was established and accredited in 1999. Our faculty is dedicated to providing a comprehensive educational environment that fosters the development of fellows, thereby enabling them to become proficient interventional cardiologists. To achieve this goal, the interventional cardiology curriculum integrates the basic sciences as applied to clinical cardiology with in-depth interventional procedures that will provide the opportunities for the attainment of technical proficiency with balloon angioplasty, atherectomy, coronary stents, Doppler/Pressure Wire, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), peripheral interventions, distal protection devices, and primary angioplasty. A broad base of knowledge and skills encompassing all phases of interventional cardiology will enable the fellow to provide the total management of patient care in a broad range of practice settings. The interventional cardiology curriculum, therefore, incorporates comprehensive teaching conferences, teaching rounds, and clinical experience in all facets of interventional cardiology. While the faculty believes that clinical experience is the principal foundation of interventional cardiology education, they also believe that a significant portion of the fellow's education is achieved through lectures, conferences, teaching rounds, research, and an up-to-date comprehension of interventional cardiology literature. Therefore, the interventional cardiology curriculum is designed to afford fellows the opportunity to attend lectures, conferences, participate in teaching rounds, conduct research, and also have sufficient time for review and study of current literature.
ACGME Requirements
The interventional cardiology fellowship program at Allegheny General Hospital exceeds the established requirements and performs approximately 1,800 procedures annually including percutaneous coronary angioplasty, coronary stenting, atherectomy, thrombectomy, distal protection devices, intravascular ultrasound, and coronary flow reserve/fractional flow reserve. The interventional cardiology fellows have exposure to and participate in mitral valvuloplasty and aortic valvuloplasty, atrial septal closure devices, intra-aortic balloon pump, brachytherapy, devices for cardiogenic shock, and peripheral angiography/interventions.
Our fellowship has achieved substantial compliance with the educational requirements established by the ACGME's Program Requirements for Residency Education in Subspecialties of Internal Medicine and Program Requirements for Residency Education in Interventional Cardiology (Internal Medicine).

With tonight's major boxing card at Grand Sierra Resort and Casino and a series of other events over the weekend, the fight will be well remembered.
To visit the site of the match, one only has to go to the southwest corner of East Fourth and Toano streets and read the Nevada historical marker that was placed there through the herculean efforts of retired state archivist Guy Rocha several decades ago. A ceremony is scheduled for Sunday and Rocha is slated to speak.
Actually, Rocha has best defined what that fight meant to the Biggest Little City when he recently was quoted as saying, "That single event catapulted Reno onto the international stage for the first time."
To Reno's credit, it continued to build on that notoriety and the once sleepy little cowtown, which came into being as a railroad stop to service the needs of nearby Virginia City during the bonanza days, permanently entered the big time. With the advent of the town becoming the divorce capital of the world and the subsequent emergence of such gaming giants as the Smith family and Bill Harrah, Reno was one of the top datelines in the world.
What made the Johnson-Jeffries fight so intriguing to readers all over the globe was the fact that it not only pitted two undefeated and skillful pugilists against one another, but it also was a flashpoint for society at that time.
Racism was rampant in the country and Johnson was one of those black men who could not care less about tradition or what the "white folks" thought about him. In fact, he continually rubbed their noses in it by dating and marrying white women exclusively.
Also, he had so upset the boxing fraternity in general because when it was announced "the great white hope" would be Jeffries, regardless of the outcome, it added more fuel to the fire. Jeffries was even lured out of retirement by offering him the larger share of the fight purse. But once again, the clever Johnson had beaten them to the punch by securing a handsomer percentage of the movie rights to the contest.
In fact, it was rumored that the only reason the fight went 15 rounds was because Johnson actually carried the thoroughly beaten Jeffries at that distance just to enhance the chance of good film sales.
Over the years, many books have been written about the fight, all of them mentioning Reno prominently, and a major movie starring James Earl Jones as Johnson was a very popular flick. Again, Reno's name went out to a worldwide audience.
Currently, there is a publication coming off the presses that will probably be the most accurate and detailed account of the event ever published. That is because two authors, Guy Clifton and Ray Hagar of the Reno Gazette-Journal, have access to all the Nevada State Journal papers that were printed locally a century ago.
Probably no fistic encounter in the century has ever had the pre-fight buildup that the Johnson-Jeffries fight had. The entire event was the brainchild of promoter Tex Rickard, who was more of a flamboyant individual that the later-day Don King would ever hope to be.
Originally scheduled for San Francisco, the fight had already gained international hullabaloo prior to its move to Reno.
When the City by the Bay rather ungracefully bowed out, Rickard first considered taking the fight to Goldfield, Nev., the town that would eventually be made famous by champion Jack Dempsey. Upon due consideration, however, Rickard rightly decided that the city of Reno had better housing, was easier to reach from California and would put more money in his pocket. It proved to be true as some 20,000 fight fans showed up for the fabled fight.
To grasp the enormity of the crowd, one has to view some documentary films that retired Nevada Historical Society expert, Phil Earl, has in his possession. He has made the films the subject of several talks around town about the fight in the past few months. Just the building of the arena was a herculean task and seeing the streets of Reno teeming with crowds 100 years ago make the presentation worth catching.
Another excellent source of still photos, newspaper accounts and some interesting original artwork about Johnson himself is found in the display now open to the public at the Nevada Historical Society in its building adjacent to the Fleischmann Planetarium on the University of Nevada, Reno campus.
Another venue for history buffs is located at 220 Bell St. in Reno, which is the home of the African American Cultural Center. An exhibit entitled "At the Sound of the Bell" is also open to the public at no charge from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays during July.
This is a perfect time to recall the event that put the name Reno on the lips of people all over the world.

Noise Abatement
Because of Logan's proximity to residential communities throughout the Greater Boston Metropolitan area, Massport has been working to minimize the impacts of noise on its neighbors since 1975.
Logan was one of the first airports in the nation to install a monitoring system, which is used to direct Massport's aggressive noise abatement efforts, in communities affected by airport noise.
In 1976, Massport first instituted noise rules regarding runway use and restricted night flights during the sensitive nighttime hours between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. The rules also restrict the kind of aircraft that can be used to the quietest class of commercial jet aircraft available. By far, the largest source of noise reduction in recent years has resulted from the phase-out of older, noisier "Stage 2" aircraft. For over a decade Massport's rules banned late night Stage 2 flights. The rest of the country finally caught up to our rules in 1999, when federal regulations went into effect against these planes. These aircraft now account for less than 1 percent of operations at Logan. Since 1999, the number of Stage 2 operations at Logan has dropped from 90 flights per day to just over 4 (the federal rule only applies to aircraft weighing more than 75,000 pounds). All areas around Logan Airport have benefited from the continued grounding of these planes as air carriers and cargo operators modernize their fleets in compliance with FAA mandates.
Massport also has been aggressive at discouraging the use of Stage 3 "hush kitted" aircraft. These planes just barely make the FAA mandated noise cut off. In 2005, 98% of commercial jet activity was "new" Stage 3 aircraft (the quietest jets), an increase of almost 28% from 1999. Some of this fleet improvement was due to Massport's proactive work with air carriers such as Delta and US Airways, who replaced their noisy shuttle fleet (about 22, 000 flights per year before 9/11) with state of the art Boeing 737-800 and Airbus 319/320; and some resulted from the retirement of many re-certified Stage 3 aircraft after September 11, 2001.
Massport's Noise Abatement Office was formally established in early 1977 to implement these noise rules. The office helps the FAA and Logan air carriers analyze how airport noise affects local communities so that steps can be taken to further reduce the airport's impact on surrounding residents. The office maintains a 24-hour consumer hotline that allows Logan's neighbors to report excessive airport noise. Additional information is available by calling (617) 561-3333.
In 1981, Logan became the first airport in the nation to receive a grant from the FAA to test the benefits of soundproofing in public schools. That pilot program led Massport to begin soundproofing in 1983, when East Boston High School become the first public school soundproofed under this program.
Since then, Massport has spent more than $140 million to soundproof more than 9,080 dwelling units and 36 schools.
The distribution of aircraft traffic around the airport is another important noise abatement measure employed at Logan. The Preferential Runway Advisory System (PRAS) was developed in 1982 to help air traffic controllers evenly distribute traffic to provide the greatest measure of noise relief.
Massport will continue to explore new ways to enhance its noise abatement programs at Logan Airport, because it is an urban airport surrounded by residential communities.

DEISA Training Courses: 17 - 18 September 2008; Portici, Naples
DEISA is running two training courses at the ENEA Research Centre in Portici near Naples, Italy. Both courses will be based around a number of practical sessions for which users must supply their own wireless laptop.
The first course on Wednesday 17 September is an "Introduction to the
DEISA Infrastructure". This will cover the basic aspects of the DEISA
distributed supercomputer environment and the software tools that are
used to access it.
No prior knowledge is assumed for this course.
The second course on Thursday 18th September is on "Parallel IO using
MPI-IO". This covers the fundamental concepts and usage of the parallel
IO functions contained in the Message-Passing Interface standard. This
area is becoming increasingly important as scientific datasets increase
in size, and reading from and writing to disk starts to become a serious
bottleneck on large parallel machines.
The course assumes that you already have basic practical knowledge of the MPI programming model and that you are able to write simple programs using basic MPI functions such as send, receive and reduce.

Ringling Bros. And Barnum & Bailey Circus
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Presents Built To Amaze!, an extraordinarily engineered circus experience custom-built for family fun where Children Of All Ages® find out what it takes to construct The Greatest Show On Earth®. The visionary blueprints have been assembled with a contemporary toolbox of unparalleled imagination. Built To Amaze! coming to the STAPLES Center Los Angeles (7/10-7/16); Citizens Business Bank Arena, Ontario (7/19-7/23); and Honda Center, Anaheim (7/26-8/4).
Created by TicketNetwork | Claim this event
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus was formed in 1919 from the merger of James Anthony Bailey and P. T. Barnum's Barnum & Baily Circus with the Ringling Brothers Circus.
1111 S. Figueroa St.
Los Angeles, CA 90015

Our entire family loves elephants, that is why we don't go to circuses anymore. After learning about what life is really like for circus elephants we realized there's no family fun to be had at an event that involves abusing and beating these majestic elephants to make them entertain us for a few minutes. The evidence that Ringling Bros starts beating their elephants when they are babies is overwhelming and we cannot ignore it. We would never condone or allow someone to treat our family animals inhumanely, just to make them perform tricks.
Now we support the two elephant sanctuaries in the US. We can watch via a webcam elephants living in a more natural setting The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee and PAWS in California. Your family can learn about the 25 elephants many who are former circus elephants that have lived there since being rescued.
When Ringling Bros Circus was in Atlanta Georgia, Lima one of their zebra's escaped the corral set up in a downtown parking lot and was running down the highway, he never recovered from his injuries. This is another reason why Wild Zebras & Elephants shouldn't be in traveling Circuses, living in boxcars, and herded down city streets to the arena. Ringling statement about the escape, "This rarely happens," folks this is the 4th time in 3 years that Ringling's zebras have gotten away. 4/10/08 Ringling cited by USDA, Inspector noted that on 3/20/2008, two zebras on the Red Unit exited from a partially open roll-up door. 3/20/08 three of the zebras who had previously escaped in 2007 from Ringling broke free from their enclosure. The animals wandered into traffic lanes before being corralled. (Baltimore Sun). 6/15/07 In Colorado 7 zebras & horses from Ringling escape from their handlers, the animals run onto a road next to the Interstate for 30 minutes. (AP) Feld Entertainment says we put on the, "Greatest Show on Earth" so there is no reason why they can't entertain the public with People Performers instead of Wild animals that they must abuse and beat to train them to perform. This solution would remedy the inhumane treatment of these Wild animals and the Circus could go on with People Performances. http://www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com/bound-babies.asp
I caught them at HP Pavilion in San Jose and just had a wonderful time. My girls were awestruck with their attention constantly held by the acts, lights and fireworks, and dancing. Asked of their favorite part, the list just went on... the elephants, the dogs, the flowers, the horses, no tigers, the gymnasts...
Only criticisms are the outrageous prices for food and other concessions and the animal rights protesters outside who, though I completely understand where they are coming from, should have a little more sense than to protest so overtly where so many toddlers and children are present.
Also, be careful with the inexpensive tickets. You can get to the circus for around $15 but the view is likely obstructed; we completely missed the trapeze artists and spent 15 minutes entertaining the kids.

For the past year, Mark Greenawald, M.D., associate dean for student affairs and chair of the Department of Family Medicine at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, has worked closely with the charter class, guiding them in their academic affairs as well as personal struggles and triumphs. "We just have a wonderful group of students here at VTC. They are bright and intelligent. They are energetic and creative," said Greenawald. "They really want to make a difference, not only with the school, but in all aspects of their lives. It is very exciting to be part of that energy."
When I started as dean three-and-a-half years ago, I envisioned the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine as a new kind of medical school where patients were at the forefront of every aspect of the school. It is wonderful to see the results put forth by many – from the construction workers who built the school brick-by-brick, to the leadership, the faculty, and the staff who had the vision, the drive, and the commitment to excellence to execute a well-laid plan. Our charter class of students, with their own vision and entrepreneurial spirit, partnered with us to bring VTC to reality as an educational institution. They are well along on their journey to becoming physician thought leaders. I celebrate all of these trailblazers, for the first time is almost always the most difficult. Indeed, the journey of a thousand miles does truly begin with the first step.

If a friend or relative won $100 and then offered you a few dollars, would you accept this windfall? The logical answer would seem to be, sure, why not? "But human decision making does not always appear rational," said Read Montague, professor and director of the Human Neuroimaging Laboratory at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute and professor of physics at Virginia Tech.

Businesses, non-profits, and other organizations held special events for the students to show them the wealth of opportunities in Southwest Virginia. Now the charter class had the opportunity to give back, taking part in service learning projects in the community along with students from Jefferson College of Health Sciences.

Are These the Poems to Remember?
The Penguin Anthology of Twentieth-Century American Poetry
Twentieth-century American poetry has been one of the glories of modern literature. The most significant names and texts are known worldwide: T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens, Marianne Moore, Hart Crane, Robert Lowell, John Berryman, Elizabeth Bishop (and some would include Ezra Pound). Rita Dove, a recent poet laureate (1993–1995), has decided, in her new anthology of poetry of the past century, to shift the balance, introducing more black poets and giving them significant amounts of space, in some cases more space than is given to better-known authors. These writers are included in some cases for their representative themes rather than their style. Dove is at pains to include angry outbursts as well as artistically ambitious meditations.

Geometry for the Table
Has there ever been a more felicitous pairing of artist and technique than Maurits Cornelius Escher and damask? Escher's work, which is so dependent on interlocking forms and the seamless use of positive and negative space, is executed here in linen damask, a technique in which two surfaces, one shiny and one matte, are literally the face and reverse of the same weave structure.

Credit balances grow as financial institutions loosen credit terms and nonfinancial lenders open more accounts for small businesses
COSTA MESA, Calif., Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Experian®, the leading global information services company, today announced that the Experian/Moody's Analytics Small Business Credit Index rose 1.2 points to 117 due to the growth of small-business credit balances. According to the Q4 2013 report, the increase marked the fourth consecutive quarter of improvement in small-business credit conditions and provided the highest index reading since data tracking began in 2011.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140211/LA62344)
"Credit is flowing more freely to small businesses," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. "With more credit, small businesses are increasingly able to expand their operations. This means more investment and jobs, and a stronger economy."
[Download]: Q4 2013 Experian/Moody's Analytics Small Business Credit Index
Findings from the report indicated that the growth in credit balances was due in part to financial institutions loosening credit terms for small businesses, as well as an increase in business-to-business credit transactions.
"The ability to gain access to funding and resources when needed is critical to the growth and success of any small business," said Joel Pruis, Experian's senior business consultant. "The trends seen in Q4 are a good sign for the economy because as more credit options become available to small businesses, the better their chances are to weather the short-term challenges they may face."
While the increased availability of credit contributed to the improvement of the index, growth was tempered by a slight rise in delinquency rates. In Q4 2013, the report found that delinquency rates worsened by 0.1 percentage points, increasing to 10.2 percent from 10.1 percent the previous quarter. Furthermore, the rise in overall delinquency rates can be solely attributed to an increase in 30- to 60-day delinquent balances.
"An important clarification to the rise seen in early delinquency is that only a third of it was attributed to past current accounts becoming delinquent," continued Pruis. "The other two-thirds resulted from slower delinquency buckets falling into the 30- to 60-day range. This means that a greater number of severely delinquent businesses improved their payment performance and reduced their debt."
From a regional perspective, the trends seen throughout most of the recovery continued during the fourth quarter. Credit performance remained strong in the Western region, especially for Mountain West states, while their Eastern counterparts continued to struggle.
"Optimism for the future remains high, as many believe small-business credit conditions will continue to improve in 2014 and well into 2015," said Pruis. "However, in order for small businesses to reap the benefits, it will be extremely important for them to maintain strong credit profiles and pay down any existing delinquent balances."

The Geek Freaks
Why Jaron Lanier rants against what the Web has become.
Jaron Lanier's You Are Not a Gadget has one of the more sobering prefaces to be found in recent books. "It's early in the twenty-first century, and that means that these words will mostly be read by nonpersons," it begins. The words will be "minced into anatomized search engine keywords," then "copied millions of times by some algorithm somewhere designed to send an advertisement," and then, in a final insult, "scanned, rehashed, and misrepresented by crowds of quick and sloppy readers." Lanier's conclusion: "Real human eyes will read these words in only a tiny minority of the cases." My conclusion: Is that really such a bad thing?
Lanier is best known as a pioneer of virtual reality and an early star of Wired magazine. He was the guy with the dreadlocks and the giant V.R. goggles perched on his forehead, the epitome of the hippie-shaman-guru strain in tech culture. In what may have been a high point, Lanier's V.R. glove was used to power the graphics in a Grateful Dead video. Lanier lost his company in the early '90s in a then-legendary flameout, and he has been working in the seams of academia and Silicon Valley ever since. He's the barefoot guy in the conference room, ever creative, childlike.
You Are Not a Gadget is basically a collection of his Internet columns and postings, bound, set into type, and called a "manifesto." Over the years, Lanier has become a skeptic of that amorphous thing called Web 2.0. He directs most of his ire toward the "anonymous blog comments, vapid video pranks, and lightweight mashups" that flit through our browsers and Twitter feeds. But he's also critical of bigger Internet landmarks, such as Wikipedia, the open-source software Linux, and the "hive mind" in general.
It would be fitting to rue Lanier's fate as mere sausage for search algorithms if he had organized his opinions into a coherent thesis. The reality is that Lanier's stimulating, half-cocked ideas are precisely the kind of thinking that gets refined and enlarged on vibrant Web places like Marginal Revolution, Boing Boing, and MetaFilter. Lanier maintains, for example, that musical development has essentially stalled. He has a challenge: "[P]lay me some music that is characteristic of the late 2000s as opposed to the late 1990s." Lanier claims that listeners can't distinguish between recent musical eras because music is "retro, retro, retro." I would like to see that debate play out in the columns on Pitchfork. * Being scanned and rehashed in a blog post somewhere will be the best thing that ever happened to some of these words.
That is mostly because Lanier is an unreconstructed geek who throws around terms like realistic computationalism and numinous neoteny, which make your ears hurt. He will spend a few pages bemoaning the fact that a "locked-in" technology such as the computer "file" has cut off other, potentially more beautiful ways of organizing information on a computer.
As near as I can make it out, Lanier's view is that the Web began as a digital Eden. We built homepages by hand, played around in virtual worlds, wrote beautiful little programs for the fun of it, and generally made our humanity present online. The standards had not been set. The big money and the big companies had not yet arrived. Now Google has linked search to advertising. The Internet's long tail helps only the Amazons of the world, not the little guys and gals making songs, videos, and books. Wikipedia, a mediocre product of group writing, has become the intellectual backbone of the Web. And, most depressingly, all of us have been lumped into a "hive mind" that every entrepreneur with a dollar and a dream is trying to parse for profit.
Yet, just when you're about to sigh and go check your Twitter feed, Lanier writes something that gives you pause. On who really benefits from Facebook, for instance:
The real customer is the advertiser of the future, but this creature has yet to appear at the time this is being written. The whole artifice, the whole idea of fake friendship, is just bait laid by the lords of the clouds to lure hypothetical advertisers—we might call them messianic advertisers—who might someday show up.
A touch overblown, but we can easily forget that Facebook needs to build a profit with our friendships. Our favorite distraction awaits a Messiah that will justify its billion-dollar valuation. "The only hope for social networking sites from a business point of view," Lanier writes, "is for a magic formula to appear in which some method of violating privacy and dignity becomes acceptable." Have you checked your privacy settings recently? Lanier has been proven prophetic.
Like others who have been on the Web from its early days, Lanier thinks the place has "lost its flavor." Perhaps homepages in the mid-'90s did have a folk-art quality to them, though one heavily dominated by Simpsons and Star Trek references. Perhaps our regimented Facebook selves have made things more vanilla. Perhaps you did stumble down more idiosyncratic paths of knowledge before Wikipedia dominated the top Google search results. But these are the kinds of nostalgic observations that are ridiculous to anyone young. The Web hasn't lost flavor; you've lost flavor. What Samuel Johnson said about his hometown holds true for the Internet: "No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."*

"Without a doubt, HD video conferencing has been an excellent addition to TAXI's roster of capabilities," said Simon Falcon, chief information officer for TAXI. "LifeSize allows us to interact in real time with high-quality results. No more 120x240 videos. We can share the entire screen and preview content from a distance in a live forum without pre-uploading anything at all. LifeSize HD video communications is as close to meeting in person as you can get." TAXI delivers integrated marketing and branding campaigns to over 90 unique clients, including leading consumer and technology brands worldwide. TAXI turned to LifeSize to enhance collaboration with remote teams and increase client interaction. Prior to deploying LifeSize, TAXI leveraged meeting solutions – including screen-sharing applications, phone-conferencing and video chat via webcams. After a thorough evaluation, the agency selected the LifeSize Room 200 HD video communications system due to its cost effectiveness, performance and reliability. By leveraging LifeSize for client and cross-office meetings, it has significantly improved agency and client communications, reduced travel and improved productivity. "I knew that standard video conferencing couldn't meet our needs. After seeing the LifeSize product in action, I could literally see we were looking at the winning solution," said Falcon. "The video quality is so rich that TAXI virtually shows clients resource it has developed – like hand-drawn sketches, renderings for television commercials and online media. The LifeSize equipment did everything that competitor systems did at a fraction of the cost." "TAXI is a prime example of an organization that has embraced HD video communications not only for cost reduction, but improved customer communications," said Colin Buechler, senior vice president of marketing at LifeSize Communications. "We are pleased that a highly visual and collaborative business such as TAXI relies on LifeSize to stay connected to both clients and employees." The LifeSize 200 series features HD, standards-based 1080p30 for the highest available resolution and 720p60 for the best motion handling with lower latency.

Back in April, we reported that the actor wanted to "retire" his Tony Stark character, but he didn't leave a timetable as to when he wanted to do so. Iron Man 3 was the last movie that Robert Downey Jr. was obligated to do, under his current contract with Marvel Studios.
Bringing Robert Downey Jr. back under a new contract will likely cost Marvel a pretty penny, since he earned an estimated $50 million from the 2012 blockbuster Marvel's The Avengers, after box office bonuses and back-end compensation. According to financial analyst Doug Creutz, the actor's departure could be just as costly.
The Avengers 2 is slated for release on May 1, 2015, and The Avengers 3 isn't expected to hit theaters until at least 2017.
Avengers: Age of Ultron comes to theaters May 1st, 2015 and stars Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Mark Ruffalo. The film is directed by Joss Whedon.
The Avengers 3 comes to theaters in 2019 and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson.

Has somebody let the iPhone charging over the Cinema Display USB over night? Is it posible? Since the MacBook would drain the iPhones Battery over night if it is off I was just wondering if I could connect it to the display... will it charge?
(I hope my display arrives soon and i can try this myself). Thanks, F
