Street Seats is a furniture project developed by Bade Stageberg Cox for the Pier 94 Coffee Bar at The Armory Show. The 50 chairs, found abandoned on the streets of New York, were repaired and given a new life with a coat of taxi cab yellow paint.
Like the city's residents, the chairs are an eclectic mix, migrating throughout the fair during its five-day run. The bottom of each chair is stamped and documented with the date and location it was recovered.

Is that correct that the sum total of all virtual memory allocations
on a 32 bit OS cannot exceed 4 GB?
For example, if I have 4 GB of RAM, can I run 20 programs that take 500
MB each? (with most memory swapped out, and big swap file, of course).
Also, is it true that 32 bit install cannot use more than 4 GB of
physical RAM?

Greece: Bailout Just Buys More Time
Analysts and economists aren't exactly jumping for joy over the latest Greek bailout.
Euro-zone finance leaders agreed to a $172.1 billion rescue deal for Greece. The country's private creditors will take an even bigger loss than originally agreed upon, amounting to about a 53.5% haircut as opposed to the 50% agreed upon in October. The deal should help reduce Greece's debt as a proportion of GDP to 120.5% by 2020 from about 164% currently.
But doubts linger over whether Greece will be able to implement the appropriate austerity measures and additional terms that are needed to justify the bailout.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was recently up 20 points, or 0.2%, at 12970, while the S&P 500 tacked on 3 points, or 02%, to 1364.
Here's a smattering of reactions to the news:
BTIG: For academics, economists and the very interested, the above details provide a framework for viewing the current situation. For everyone else, all one needs to know is that more time has been bought but no 'resolution' has been achieved. Greece simply cannot and will not meet its existing debt burden, even one that has been 'voluntarily' reduced. It is only a matter of time until this matter is revisited with an outcome equally uncertain.
Barclays Capital: The risk of the new program going off track in the quarters ahead also remains high given the poor government implementation of the first program. So in addition to ongoing austerity measures, privatization plans and implementation assurances, the Eurogroup has emphasized ways of reinforcing program oversight. This is a clear step forward for Greece and the euro area, but several implementation and political risks remain. If the PSI participation rate is not high enough, Greece is likely to apply retroactive collective action clauses (CACs), which could lead to a credit event. Furthermore, there is the potential for early elections (possibly in April) and the parties that do not support the program are gaining traction. The package also requires parliamentary approval in Austria, Finland, Germany, Netherlands and Slovenia…So far, the market reaction has been muted as the news of a bailout was largely priced in.
Nomura: It is not a done deal and there is significant risk surrounding the Finnish and the Dutch vote. The latter is more problematic due to the Danes' minority government and increasing popularity of the left-wing euro-sceptic Socialist Party. Also, more generous terms for Greece mean that the incentive to hold out and not participate in the PSI is even greater than before. This almost certainly means that following introduction of [collective action clauses], Greece will try to enforce 100% participation. The downside of the move is that it will certainly trigger CDS, the fallout of which is not clear.

Community rose to meet the need
Published: Friday, January 30, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 30, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: The good people of Henderson County have again given clear notice that ours is a caring community. The record, goal-breaking $1,567,201 pledged to the 2003 United Way campaign will well-serve 46 human service programs and their clients.
With the campaign not officially over until March 31, five weeks remain for additional pledges. These additional dollars will enable programs to make an even greater impact on community needs.
A significant factor in our success was the offer by Beverly-Hanks and Associates and First Citizens Bank to contribute one dollar to the United Way endowment for every three new dollars given at the leadership level ($1,000 and up). This match has generated $76,791 new dollars for the campaign and $25,597 for the endowment.
Serving as your 2003 campaign chairman was rewarding, affording me the opportunity to work with a great team of volunteers and dedicated staff -- all first-rate. Any campaign depends upon people -- those who make up the team and those who answer the call. In both cases, Henderson County was fortunate.
For our campaign team and staff, I sincerely thank you for helping those in need in our community -- and for that most valuable possession, hope.

CONROE, TX (AP) - Divers are searching a Houston-area lake for a $250,000 law enforcement drone that crashed into the water last week.
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said the drone malfunctioned and dropped into Lake Conroe during a training exercise Friday, the Houston Chronicle reported Tuesday.
The sheriff's office uses the drone for emergency management, missing person recovery and other operations including filming above tactical officer activities, Fitzgerald said. The nearly 50-pound drone is equipped with a camera and an infrared scanning device, and was purchased in 2011 using a federal grant.
Lake Conroe is about 50 miles north of Houston.

Finding Marc's Family: Marc Is Reunited With His Father
As thousands of Haitians flee the capital of Port-au-Prince, Marc Henry Bigot of Miami is going in to rescue what is left of his family. Wall Street Journal reporter Gina Chon is accompanying Marc on his journey. Follow his story here on Dispatch, and on Facebook. (See more photographs of his journey home.)
Marc finally reunited with his father, who lived in the U.S. for 40 years until he returned to his native Haiti about 10 years ago because he was getting older and missed the feeling of community he had in Haiti. In the U.S., he worked at a fur coat company in quality control and a Ford auto factory.
"My father is very active," Marc said as he beamed. "He looks younger than me. I could be his father."
As soon as his SUV pulled through the gate of his home, he opened the door and shouted, "Pa!" He ran over to his father, who was slightly shorter but more filled out than Marc, and gave him a hug.
The exchanged news about the where his father was during the earthquake and how Marc had heard about it. "I'm so glad you made it," Marc said.
His father had been in Port au Prince but was outdoors so he was unharmed. His father, Joseph, said as soon as the ground stopped shaking, he headed back to his home in the countryside outside the city. Both he and Marc tried to get a hold of each other but the phone lines were working.
As they caught up, Joseph remarked about how his son's legs were "too skinny," and he smoked too much. He also talked about how life has gotten harder since the earthquake, since food and other items were more expensive.
The two had dinner and stayed up all night talking. Marc's father left early the next morning but the two promised to see each other again soon.
"I feel calm now that I've seen my dad," Marc said. "He was the last person I wanted to see so now I can relax."

Enron: Let the Defense Case Begin
- Yesterday's Houston Chronicle asks "what were Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling thinking" and says that is the key question for the jury as the defense opens its case this week. As put by law professor Ellen Podgor, "I say to my students we've got DNA but we don't have a device to put to somebody's head to read their mind." Equally as difficult is what is in the jury's mind. Says Houston defense lawyer Stanley Schneider, "I don't know any way you can tell what a jury will do. Juries are living, breathing, functional animals, and they're weird."
- Beverly Hills has the map of the stars, New York has a Seinfeld pilgrimage, and Houston has The Enron Tour. But the Dallas Morning News reports that "Lifestyles of the Rich and Infamous" — as the tour's been dubbed — hasn't been a bang-up success. For $30, tour operator Sandra Lord will guide you past indicted executives' mansions, popular Enron watering holes, and a glimpse at the crooked "E" sign. Lord blames "Enron exhaustion" for disappointing attendance.
- The WSJ analyzes the impact of Lay's and Skilling's upcoming testimony. Here are three questions John Emshwiller says could prove crucial:
- Why did Enron quietly spend about $120 million betting against its own stock at a time when the defendants were touting the company's prospects?
- Why did Lay borrow $1 million from the company days before it collapsed?
- Why did the executives allow Enron's chief financial officer to run suspect-looking partnerships?
WSJ.com also has a table looking at the results of a handful of other white-collar defendants who testified on their own behalf (Ebbers, Rigas, Scrushy, etc.) and the outcome of each trial.

Heart of Darkness
by Joseph Conrad
Heart of Darkness Chapter 3 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 124
"I fancy I had some vague notion of falling upon him and giving him a drubbing. I don't know. I had some imbecile thoughts. The knitting old woman with the cat obtruded herself upon my memory as a most improper person to be sitting at the other end of such an affair. I saw a row of pilgrims squirting lead in the air out of Winchesters held to the hip. I thought I would never get back to the steamer, and imagined myself living alone and unarmed in the woods to an advanced age. Such silly things—you know." (3.26)
When Marlow goes chasing after Kurtz, he is confused and has evil thoughts like beating him or "giving him a drubbing" when he finds him. He is confused and certain images burst into his mind. Marlow is concerned mainly with an inevitable sense of catastrophe (which is why he thinks of the old woman who represents Fate) and fear (represented by the pilgrims shooting blindly from their hips).
Quote 125
"There was nothing either above or below him, and I knew it. He [Kurtz] had kicked himself loose of the earth. Confound the man! He had kicked the very earth to pieces. He was alone, and I before him did not know whether I stood on the ground or floated in the air." (3.29)
Kurtz has "kicked himself loose" of all things that humans know, which means that he has no set of morals and no definitions of good or evil anymore. Does that make him crazy? And does that mean that "crazy" is just relative to our expectations?
Quote 126
"I've been telling you what we said - repeating the phrases we pronounced—but what's the good? They were common everyday words - the familiar, vague sounds exchanged on every waking day of life. But what of that? They had behind them, to my mind, the terrific suggestiveness of words heard in dreams, of phrases spoken in nightmares." (3.29)
By this point, Marlow is basically living in a waking nightmare. He seems to be at a point where he can't even tell what's real.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Bethann Weick
permaculture, sustainable agriculture, weeding, farming, homesteading, food production, Bethann Weick
We can take a deep breath. Garden fork in hand, harvest basket ready
and waiting, food is emerging where once there were weeds. Our myriad of annual beds have been forked,
weeded, seeded, transplanted into, edged, mulched, and watered. As the solstice passes, the urgency of
spring has finally been satiated.
Weeds still abound, mind you
(indeed, nature's persistent biology is the ultimate job security), but our
focus has shifted. With the final bed
weeded out last week, and the last of our seeds and starts in the ground,
weeding has taken on a new purpose: maintenance.
This is the pulse of the
summer. Weeds continue to grow at an
overwhelming pace, and our rapid work is now directed at staying ahead of these
undesirable invaders in our garden space. To this end we take to the fields each day, our many hands
maintaining our growing number of agricultural beds, patches, and rows so that
our food crops flourish. Each meal is a
testament to the work that dirties our nails and calluses our hands. As garlic scapes, peas, broccoli, herbs,
berries, and a plethora of greens now fill our bowls, the vital nature of our
work is continually demonstrated.
Annual food crops, however,
haven't garnered our exclusive attention.
The perennials have our interest as well. Flowers and groundcovers abound, as do herbals and medicinals;
these favored species are encouraged to hold the weeds at bay. They don't maintain themselves, however, and
our efforts must be directed to these understory perennials, as well as the larger
species. Even with weeds encroaching,
fruit and nut trees have begun to form fruit, offering the first glimpse of the
abundance that will be upon us come fall.
Berries are swelling and gaining color – mulberries will likely be the
first for pickin', with blueberries, gooseberries, raspberries, and currants
close behind. As we watch insects
humming about the valerian, and notice birds evaluating the coloring of
berries, we must work quickly to maintain such valuable rootstock against the
competition of persistent, weedy colonizers.
While perennials require less constant consideration than annuals, they
do require maintenance, especially as younger crops.
So there is no shortage of tasks to rapidly fill our
hours, our days, and our weeks. From
summer solstice to autumn equinox, we bask in the longest, warmest days of the
year. With our hands in the dirt, we
pull weeds…may our food prosper.

MakerBot A SkatePark!
Okay guys – it's time to get real. This video that you're about to watch is most assuredly the coolest video I've ever made. Seriously. It's really freaking awesome.
This project was a collaboration (all awesome projects are, aren't they?) between myself and my associate producer Josh Friedman and a handful of the greatest fingerboarders on the planet – Mike Schneider, Taylor Rosenbauer, Doug Bodkin and Tim Hurley. Josh, who animates the wonderful R.Maker Adventures and moonlights as a 3D designer, designed a bunch of skate ramps in Sketchup and put together the ultimate indoor skatepark which the boarders came in to shred on. And shred they did.
The best part of all this? Now you can MakerBot your own skatepark using the design files on Thingiverse. So make your own park, customize your own ramps, make your own sweet videos and keep on keepin it awesome!

TC member ringo points me to an official FFG response on (some of the) questions concerning premeasuring and when it's allowed. The response is posted at the Spanish site Rojo Cinco. The link there is through Google Translate, for us monolingual types. Here are the questions and responses, via the translation. Some of it is a bit odd, but the gist comes through pretty clearly:
- Question: Can you measure the barrel roll Both the right and left in the same action or you can choose just one side to measure?
- Answer: No. You should declare which direction you want to barrel roll down before Placing your template.
- Question: If you declare a barrel roll, after measuring to see if the ship can do and can, can you change your mind and declare another action?.
- Answer: No. You must perform the barrel roll in the Intended direction if possible. If it is impossible to do a barrel roll in That direction, you can barrel roll in the opposite direction or choose another action.
- Question: The same With The target lock. When you declare a target lock after having Measured the distances and even having ships in range, you can change your mind and declare another action?.
- Answer: No. If you announce a target lock action and confirm That you can lock your Intended target enemy, you must target lock him. The rule That lets you measure before Committing only Protects you from losing your action if you measure and discover That You're out of range. Your opponent May allow you to choose another action, but he is not required to allow that.
These responses are interesting, to say the least. Anyone who's followed any of the "When can you measure?" questions on the various forums knows that I've taken a pretty hardline stance on measuring and what should be allowed, but this is harsher than even I had read it.
My position on measuring has always been that you could not measure unless the rules explicitly told you to, either by one of the "You may premeasure before committing to this action" clauses or an ability which required a range check. But within those options to premeasure, I had read it as an unlimited chance to check and see what you want to do, see who all might be in range, etc.
This ruling turns that on its head. This basically says that the "You may premeasure before committing to this action" means "Declare your action. Measure it. If you cant' complete it, you can pick something else." That's a big difference from the previous understanding of "Measure, declare and finish."
Sadly, this doesn't actually resolve all the other issues we might have. It does answer some, though.
On the resolved side, we obviously now know when you can back out of an action. Additionally, I think the answer relating to target locks puts the final nail in the coffin of unlimited range measuring. If you could measure range at will, you'd never call a target lock that was out of range. This also pretty much confirms that you can only make a measurement when you are actually using an ability, since you have to declare both action and target before measuring.
What we still don't necessarily know, though, is whether the "measure before committing" clause is general, or only in those explicit actions and abilities that say you can. And if it's not general, then we don't know what happens to an ability that you declare but is out of range, such as Squad Leader.
So what does this mean? It's certainly going to change up the feel of the game a bit, but I actually like it. Many people had pointed out that our understanding of when premeasuring was allowed basically made any restrictions on premeasuring irrelevant, since you could check range to everything for a target lock. This fixes that – declare the action, pick the target, measure for that specific target. No "I'm going to check if I can target lock all 6 of your ships" any more. In my opinion, it also makes the game more consistent. When people would point to the "spirit" of the game in a debate over measurement, my response was typically that the "spirit" was a bit confused: movement was very harsh and relied on eyeball estimation, but actions and measurement was very forgiving. This pulls the full game in the harsher direction. Whether you think that's a good thing or not will be personal, but it certainly does a lot to remove the disconnect.
There's been a lot of concern over the new interpretation, mostly centered around whether or not this contradicts the idea that you can measure before committing to an action. It certainly does seem to, and I'll admit that I'm a little uncomfortable with the reading, mainly because it's not something I ever would have come up with. Now that we know that this is how it's supposed to be played, however, I've been taking some shots at interpreting what was written vs. how it should be played, and trying to figure out why it says what it says. For brevity I'm going to focus on the barrel roll, but the same applies for target locks.
Here's the rule as printed in the book:
The player may measure to see if his ship can perform a barrel roll before committing to this action.
The bolded part is, I believe, the key to understanding why this ruling doesn't completely contradict the rule as it is printed. If we focus on this restriction, then the ONLY reason that you can premeasure before is to see if your ship can complete the barrel roll. If it can, but you decide not to do so, then you will have broken that rule.
There is undoubtedly a bit of conflict with the idea of "committing" to an action here. If you're forced into it once you measure, how can you not have committed? The key to understanding, I believe, is that they are using the term "committed" to mean an action which cannot be taken back. If you were forced to commit before measuring, but couldn't fit to complete the barrel roll, then you would lose the action.
I'm certainly not trying to argue that it's a well-written rule, given what they wanted it to mean. But I do think that the reading is not completely alien to what is printed.

In his years on SEAL Team 3, few things made Kevin Lacz sweat.
Not HALO jumps, not setting underwater explosives, not patching soldiers up as a combat medic.
But a few days ago in Morocco, the 32-year-old Navy veteran found his palms sweaty at the thought of a very different challenge. After all, it's not every actor whose first speaking part comes with Clint Eastwood staring him down from the director's chair.
That's just what happened recently as Lacz, Bradley Cooper, Eastwood and a full cast and crew put in three weeks in Morocco shooting the new film "American Sniper."
Lacz is doing double duty in the film, which tells the story of fellow SEAL Team 3 member Chris Kyle, a legendary sniper so lethal Iraqis dubbed him "The Devil of Ramadi."
The tall, still-ripped Lacz, a veteran of two overseas SEAL deployments, is the film's technical adviser and is playing himself in the movie.
I talked with him about all that last week at the home of his in-laws, where he has been able to join his wife, the former Lindsey Moore, and children Grady and Ailie for a short stretch before heading off to Los Angeles for more filming.
Lacz, a Connecticut native, said he was a typical political science major at James Madison University years ago until the events of 9/11 affected him deeply.
Wanting to serve his country, he met an inspired Navy recruiter who convinced him that was the service for him.
Raised with core values of integrity, service and attention to detail, he was interested in the challenge presented by trying to qualify as a combat medic with the SEALs.
In 2003, he started the lengthy and extreme training required by the elite combat force. It helped that he was a swimmer in high school and liked being challenged physically and mentally.
By April 2006, he had aced the basic underwater demolition training and began honing skills ranging from advanced combat medicine to sniper shooting.
He deployed then to Iraq, where his SEAL team was successful in a range of missions.
The young addition to the SEAL team — he earned the nickname "Dauber" because he resembled a character on TV's "Coach" — was struck by the engaging personality and leadership of teammate Kyle.
Another deployment with SEAL Team 3 sent him later to Syria and Saudi Arabia. But after meeting Lindsey and realizing he wanted to start a family, Lacz decided it was time to leave the SEALs.
He stayed in touch with many of his former teammates, including Kyle, who had gone on to write the highly successful and well-read autobiography "American Sniper," in which he claimed to be the most lethal sniper in American military history.
Like all of Kyle's fellow SEAL team members, Lacz was devastated in February of last year when a fellow vet the author had taken to a shooting range in Texas turned his weapon on Kyle and another veteran, killing both.
As all of that was happening, Lacz and other members of Team 3 had become aware that Steven Spielberg was interested in making a movie of Kyle's book, and Bradley Cooper was interested in playing him. Eventually Spielberg dropped out and Eastwood got involved.
Lacz's wife, Lindsey, actually contacted the screenwriter for the project at one point, volunteering her husband to help with details about Kyle or SEALs in general.
Through working with the screenwriter on getting so many details right, Lacz soon enough found himself in L.A. teaching Cooper and others how to shoot and carry themselves as members of the elite combat teams.
One day, Cooper looked at Lacz and out of nowhere suggested he also play himself in the movie. Lacz auditioned via a video taken on his smartphone and got the role.
But nothing quite prepared him for the moment when, after one of his first speaking parts, Eastwood hustled over to tell Lacz he'd nailed it.
"He said, 'Damn good job, son,' which was pretty cool coming from a director like Mr. Eastwood," said Lacz. "He's so amazing: nice, smart and sincere. And he's so prepared each day that most things are done on the first take."
Lacz said he has been impressed with the professionalism by all involved with the film. When a long day of shooting in Morocco had some cast members losing concentration on a pivotal scene involving the death of a SEAL Team 3 member, however, Lacz provided a compelling reason to refocus.
"I told them that it may be just another line or two to them, but to me and the others on the team, it was one of the most important days of our lives," he said. "What we lost deserved our best in capturing that moment."
When Lacz finishes the film, he and his family plan to move to Florida, where he expects to serve as a physician's assistant and member of a venture capital firm not far away in Alabama.
One story Lindsey likes to tell is the way her husband dated both of her older sisters in San Diego before she met him. When her mother visited San Diego, she met Lacz and said she was sorry it didn't work with those sisters, but added, "I know you'd just love my younger daughter."
Which is just what happened when a family-provided plane ticket from Florida to California allowed romance to blossom.

Pajhwok08/07/2012By Khan Wali Salarzai [Printer Friendly Version]
ASADABAD - About 160 more missiles have been fired from Pakistani territory into two border districts of eastern Kunar province over the past 24 hours, an official said on Tuesday.
A woman and a man were injured as 148 missiles were slammed into Batas and Doli areas of Narai districts, Governor Syed Fazlullah Wahidi told Pajhwok Afghan News.
Another 12 missiles landed in Sur Kamar and Kachli areas of Dangam district, causing no casualties, he added.
Khan Zamir, a resident of Dangam, said that children fearing cross-border incursions by Pakistani soldiers could not go to school. He asked the government and the international community to resolve the issue.
About 3,000 missiles have been fired into border areas so far during the current year, local officials claim, saying nearly 1,000 families have been displaced.
The Wolesi Jirga, or the lower house of parliament, on Saturday unseated defence and interior ministers over the rocket and missile barrages from Pakistan.

Justice League: Cry for Justice Archives | Robot 6 | The Comics Culture Blog
Grumpy Old Fan | Checking up on Earth-August
Although the five-years-later setup of Futures End won't be here until May, it got me thinking about a not-so-new New 52. The current comics take place some five years after Superman and company debuted — plus, apparently, a year for the face-free Joker to recuperate — so if you add five more years, it's like double the amount of history! Well, double the amount of history that "matters," I guess.
As I have been pretty critical of the present timeline, I'll be curious to see how Futures End treats those additional five years. I suspect that, for the most part, they'll be five years of "filler," in the sense that mostly bad, Futures End-specific things happened during that time to bring DC-Earth to whatever sorry state we see in FE #1. I've heard that when all the New 52 books jump ahead five years (in September, naturally), they'll reflect where their creative teams would like to take the characters in five years — but those will only be single issues, as opposed to the year-long weekly installments of Futures End. Besides, my bitter, resentful impulses remind me that it might well have been simpler just to start off with a 10-year timeline that would only have tweaked the old pre-relaunch status quo, not thrown out huge chunks of it.
The New 52 creative management review
Apparently we misunderstood: The New 52 doesn't refer to the number of titles DC Comics publishes each month but rather the number of times each title changes creative hands. That's what it seems like sometimes, what with firings by email, quitting on Twitter, rehirings and more. The general impression from behind-the-scenes tales is that the New 52 is in chaos. However, the end product might suggest DC is actually somewhat holding it together.
Creative changes are nothing new; turnover is inevitable. The key is how that turnover is managed. The ideal is to have a long and satisfying run by a cohesive team smoothly transitioning to a new team. Lord knows that doesn't always happen, and we've certainly been hearing about it not happening recently.
With all of the news of creators coming and going, or going before they even get there, it's easy to get distracted from the results of the finished product. So, I decided to take a look at a sampling of DC's New 52, from its launch in late summer 2011 to today, and see how the stability of various titles was affected by creative changes. For my survey, I looked at the Justice League family of books, which includes the flagship Justice League, as well as Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Arrow and others generally associated with the JLA that haven't had a big Hollywood movie.
Grumpy Old Fan: Separate but equal?
The more I thought about it, the more pleased I was that DC will be publishing an ongoing Batman Beyond book. Sure, the series ended over eight years ago; and sure, the episode of "Justice League Unlimited" which served as an epilogue (helpfully called "Epilogue") is also fading into the mists of history.
To me, though, a new commitment to Terry McGinniss' alternate future signals — whether DC realizes it or not — a renewed commitment to the Multiverse. Remember, the "Beyond" future (or something remarkably similar) was officially made part of the post-52 Multiverse as Earth-12, and barring a radical departure from DC, Earth-12 is where I expect Terry's adventures to remain. Put simply, the BB mythology is based on the continuity of DC's various animated series, from "Batman" through "Justice League Unlimited"; and while that continuity isn't radically different from the comics', it's different enough. Bruce Wayne's caped career ends rather ignominiously, for one thing. (Also, no Jason Todd; maybe no Golden Age superheroes; and the histories of the Flash, Earth's Green Lanterns, Hawkgirl and Hawkman, and Wonder Woman each diverge in significant ways.) Besides, if DC really wants to drop hints about how its modern-day characters ended up, it can always use the farther future of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
With a rebel yell…
By the time this post goes live, you may be quite sick of hearing about Justice League: Cry For Justice #1. Back on Sunday, I said I didn't hate it; and I suspect mine was one of the more positive comments. Yes, the script has many questionable moments, including an apparent lack of irony where Hal Jordan and Ray Palmer are concerned. I complained more about the staging of the first scene, which I felt sacrificed common sense for capital-D Drama!. And yes, the idea behind this series was a bit tired fifteen years ago when it was called Extreme Justice.
And yet … it's movement, you know? It's light at the end of the tunnel — the hope that almost three years into Justice League of America Volume 2, the book will at last gain its own direction and its own identity, free from crossover intrusions and editorial dictates….
… well, as free as any corporate superhero title could be; especially one designed specifically to use characters who already appear in other books. To me, writing Justice League is sort of like competing on "Iron Chef" — you don't have total control over all the ingredients; and more likely than not you'll have to bring new life to old standbys like salmon or Hawkgirl. Accordingly, as Rich Johnston pointed out last week, this has produced a particular cycle of retooling and rebuilding, such that it takes just the right combination of characters and circumstances to keep the League stable.

Chart: Venture capital funding, Q4 2006
Last year was the best for venture-backed initial public offerings since the bubble burst, and this year looks even better.
So why are venture capitalists so gloomy about IPOs?
To hear VCs talk, the IPO market is hamstrung because of regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley, a corporate reform law passed in 2002 in the wake of Enron and other corporate scandals. Growing international competition for stock listings has also made it tougher to pull off IPOs in the United States, they say.
In a recent survey by the National Venture Capital Association, 47 percent of VC respondents forecast that the U.S. IPO market will "remain sluggish" and only 3 percent expect a strong IPO recovery this year.
No doubt M&A is hot. Last year, 325 venture-backed companies were bought, for more than $16 billion.
But the IPO data suggests that the problems aren't as bad as VCs believe.
For one thing, the first-year performance of new issuers has flourished, beating the Standard & Poor's 500 every year since 2001.
And the 189 companies that went public last year (58 backed by VCs) raised about $43 billion, $2 billion more than the 558 companies that went public in 1997.
Even as VCs say they pine for the days when taking a company public was less an accomplishment than a way of life, few would really welcome back the boom years. "I don't think we want to get back to bubble levels, truthfully," said Eric Edmonson, a partner at the San Francisco investment bank Seven Hills. "The market is demanding more mature companies and it's working."
Ironically, the bubble in part is the cause of the current rebound in the IPO market, because companies founded then have had to be tough, surviving a downturn, layoffs, regulatory changes and worse. Those kinds of robust survivors make up much of what's in the IPO pipeline now.
According to data from Thomson Financial and the NVCA, for instance, the median age for the 270 venture-backed companies that went public in 1999 was 4.3 years; last year, it was 8.2 years, meaning newly public companies were born in the mid- to late 1990s
DCM-Doll Capital Management in Menlo Park saw two portfolio communications companies register to go public recently - 9-year-old ClearWire and 4-year-old Neutral Tandem - after 3 1/2 years in which none of its companies made it onto Nasdaq. "I'm very bullish about IPOs in the U.S.," said firm co-founder Dixon Doll. "There's a sizable crop of companies that have maybe gone an extra year or two in growing their business and profits and revenues and are more ready to be public than would historically be the case."
It helps that the market has grown slightly more flexible, added Tom Crotty, a venture capitalist with Battery Ventures in Waltham, Mass., which saw two of its portfolio companies go public last year - 10-year-old Web analytics company Omniture and 6-year-old optical components maker Optium - and which has two others, 8-year-old Veraz Networks and 13-year-old MetroPCS, in registration to go public right now.
"When you talk to an investment bank these days, they'll tell you that a company on track to generate $75 million to $100 million over the next 12 months can go public. That's new. For a while there, you couldn't take anything public that wasn't already profitable."
That's not to say that there aren't valid concerns over the state of today's public markets, even in the eyes of optimists.
Crotty says there are too few research analysts covering smaller technology companies, because of stricter rules over research mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley. Analyst coverage tends to raise a company's profile and make it more likely to do better after an IPO.
Steven Fletcher, a managing director at Savvian Advisors, a San Francisco-based investment bank, also notes two other obstacles. For one, IPOs are mostly no longer profitable for investment banks, especially IPOs of smaller companies.
Further, he added, institutional investors such as mutual funds "don't want to own small cap stocks anymore; they need to put much more capital to work."
For these reasons and more, VCs are increasingly touting the strong pull of foreign exchanges such as London and Hong Kong. In that recent NVCA survey, nearly 60 percent of respondents said foreign exchanges would be attractive options.
Yet the reality is that few companies appear eager to actually list elsewhere. Although London's AIM stock exchange welcomed more than 200 companies last year, including a dozen from the United States, helping them raise roughly $17 billion, it under-performed small U.S. company stocks last year.
Said Crotty, "We've looked into AIM, but our observation is that it's more of a fundraising vehicle for companies that aren't necessarily scaled up and can't go public on Nasdaq."
Despite some public griping, there is plenty of evidence that investors still believe the IPO market is working. More hedge funds are investing in late-stage venture-backed companies because they see the potential for lucrative IPOs ahead. Private equity firms are beginning to roll up venture-backed companies to resell them or take them public.
More VCs are getting into the game, too. Many firms that traditionally focused on nascent start-ups - such as Sequoia Capital and Draper Fisher Jurvetson on Sand Hill Road - have, in the past year, raised separate late-stage funds to back more mature private companies.
Partly, the investors are counting on some relief from Sarbanes-Oxley. "It'll probably be regulatory, meaning that we may see changes in enforcement based on how the law is interpreted by the SEC," said Mark Heesen, president of the NVCA. "But it's a start."
Already, said Crotty, companies are seeing "some relaxation" in terms of when they need to fully comply with the law, whose stipulations can cost start-ups several million dollars before they public.
The SEC "is now giving companies more time so they don't have to front-end all their costs, which helps."
Partly, investors have begun to note a shift in public sentiment toward tech stocks. "People are always torn between greed and fear," Fletcher said. "And stocks have gone up, so we're in sort of a greed cycle right now."
Thank a healthy IPO market. "Shareholders are getting higher returns because the barriers (to going public) are higher," Edmonson said. "There's a lot less risk with the larger, more mature companies that we're seeing going out."

The Warriors have several ready-made reasons to brush off their 79-72 loss to the host Milwaukee Bucks.
They played Saturday without power forward David Lee, who was back in the Bay Area recovering from surgery on his left elbow. They were playing their fifth game in seven nights, on the road and against a playoff-caliber team. They had already won six games, solidifying a winning record over the first 10 games of the season -- an accomplishment for a team that won 26 games last season.
Perhaps he sees the 2-3 record on the road trip and believes it could have been 4-1. Perhaps he sees the consistently sluggish starts and inconsistent effort on defense.
"I'm not too happy with it," Ellis said after totaling 24 points, eight assists, five rebounds, three steals and seven turnovers. "We could've gotten this game. We've just got to go back home, protect our house and go back on the winning side."
For the fifth time in 10 games, the Warriors failed to score 100 points. It was the third time they failed to top 85.
Golden State (6-4) never led and shot a season-low 34.1 percent, as everyone not named Ellis combined to go 19-for-66 shooting (28.8 percent). The absence of Lee was noticeable.
After spending Thursday night in the hospital, Lee flew back to the Bay Area on Friday with owner Joe Lacob once it was determined Lee's elbow was infected. On Friday night, the team announced Dr. Frank Chen performed surgery to clean out the infection from the laceration. He was discharged Saturday morning and will be re-evaluated toward the end of the week, according a team official.
The Warriors obviously missed Lee's rebounding -- they were handled on the boards 58-42 -- along with his scoring. They also missed his leadership, his understanding of the offense and the attention his presence draws from a defense.
"David Lee was an All-Star last year," Warriors forward Dorell Wright said, "20 and 10, 35 minutes. That's one of our key players for everything we're doing. His presence is definitely missed."
The Warriors trailed by 18 with 3:42 left in the third after two free throws by Bucks guard Brandon Jennings, who finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. But even without Lee and even though they were weary at the end of a five-game road trip, the Warriors clawed their way back into the game.
They did it with little-used guard Charlie Bell, playing against his former team. They did it with little-used forward Jeff Adrien, who had six points and eight rebounds in 19 minutes.
After an 8-0 run to open the third quarter, capped by a Bell jumper, Milwaukee's lead was down to 66-59 with just over nine minutes left. Toward the end of the fourth quarter, the Warriors trimmed a 75-65 deficit with a 7-0 run. Adrien sandwiched a Reggie Williams 3-pointer by muscling in a couple layups, the latter pulling the Warriors' within three at the 1:31 mark.
That was as close as the Warriors would get. A jumper by Bucks guard John Salmons, who had 26 points, all but iced the game.
"It's a sad game, but we're going to move on," Ellis said. "We've got to do something. Me being a leader on this team, I'm going to go to Coach and get some film and see exactly what it is. Because we've got to nip this in the bud if we want to be a playoff team."

Sir Walter Ralegh
A favourite of Elizabeth I, explorer and writer, Ralegh also attempted to establish colonies in America. He played a brilliant part in expeditions to Cadiz in 1596 and the Azores in 1597, and made several attempts to find gold in South America. He is credited with introducing tobacco and potatoes to England. Alternately in and out of favour with Elizabeth I, he was finally executed by James I for attacking the Spanish against his orders. His surviving literary works include the History of the World (1614) and a number of poems.

Towards the end of the sixteenth century it became fashionable for members of the aristocracy to have one or more enslaved Africans among their household servants. One of the early creators of this trend in the 1590s was Lady Ralegh, the wife of Sir Walter. Owning and displaying an African slave became very fashionable and remained a popular indicator of status well into the eighteenth century. Just one example is Mignard's portrait of the Duchess of Portsmouth with an unidentified young African, which begins this trail in the Main Hall of the Gallery.

Ennis Returns to FURY MAX for 'Cold War Greatest Hits'
In the years since, the character of Nick Fury has seen a major reinterpretation — first in the Ultimate line of comics, with a version clearly visually based on Samuel L. Jackson, then in the Marvel Studios productions, where the role is actually played by Samuel L. Jackson. Just last week, Battle Scars #6 established a new Nick Fury in the classic Marvel Universe, one that not coincidently strongly resembles Samuel L. Jackson.
But it's the original Nick Fury that Ennis is returning to for the Fury MAX series that debuts this week. And, as he told Newsarama in the following email interview, he's still not backing away from the "mature readers" aspect of the MAX line, as he and artist Goran Parlov take Fury on a tour of post-World War II hotspots.
Newsarama: Garth, the original Fury MAX series has achieved something of a legendary status in the year since its release. How do you personally view the series, looking back?
Nrama: Between the original and Peacemaker, this is your third Nick Fury series. What motivated you to return to the character? What aspects of Fury are you looking to explore in the new series?
Ennis: I'd been kicking the idea around for some time, probably around about when I was finishing up my run on Punisher a few years back. Then, at the start of last year, both Joe and Axel Alonso were promoted to their current positions and Nick Lowe got a bump up too. It's always nice when your friends do well, so I took it as a sign: time to get stuck into that Fury thing I'd been thinking about.
This is very much the Nick Fury I wrote in Punisher, in particular the very last six-parter: angry, bitter, old, still lethal. This is the story of how he got that way.
Nrama: It looks like Fury MAX weaves through several different eras of post-WWII history. How long of a timeline does the series cover? And how did you devise the places (1950s French Indochina, 1960s Cuba) to take Nick Fury?
Nrama: You're reteaming with Goran Parlov for this book. What makes his artistic strengths well-suited for this story?
Ennis: There is simply no praise too high for Goran Parlov. He's one of the very best artists I've ever worked with. His storytelling is bang-on, he has a fantastic sense of location and setting, he draws great hardware, tough guys and beautiful women — his character work just can't be faulted — and he's not averse to doing his research to get everything just right. His Nick Fury is just as good as his Frank Castle, and in my opinion, no one draws a better Punisher than Goran.
Nrama: The original Fury MAX series is somewhat infamous for its extreme content, though Peacemaker, as part of Marvel Knights, was more conservative in that regard. Can we presume that the new series similarly earns its "explicit content" advisory?
Ennis: Yep.
Ennis: Exactly the kind of thing I never think about, I always just bash ahead and tell the story. My starting point for Nick Fury was the warrior/politician figure from Miller and Sienkiewicz's superb Elektra: Assassin. I ran with that and made him more grizzled, more pissed off. I haven't seen the film version and I've never cared much for the previous comic incarnations, so none of that means very much to me, really.Got a comment?

Keeler in the Morning Show Notes for Jan. 15th
Wednesday, January 15, 2014
Utica's Meola Scandal
Should this have ever been public? No. Should it ever have made it to the news; well, that's a different question. Here's my take. We'll take calls through the morning.
Justin Bieber in the News
His house was raided in LA to search for evidence that he 'egged' a neighbor's house. They found drugs and a friend was arrested. Idiot.
Movie Theater Shooting over Texting
The retired police officer had an altercation last week with another woman yelling at her to stop texting in the theatre. This weekend he shot and killed a man who was texting his daughter's day care center.
Peter Franklin Gabby Cabby on NYC
Peter has the best NYC tour…go to his website. Listen to Peter's True Tales of NYC.
Sgt. Steve Hauck on Cyber Bullying
Do you think this website attacking Frank Meola over indiscretion constitute CYBER BULLYING?
His take on this is very interesting. Especially on whether the police would ever get involved in retribution over a case like this. That's what Mr. Torres claims he's afraid of.
What makes a story a story?
Journalism Professor Hub Brown is on from Newhouse at Syracuse University:
A Big Hearing at Federal Court in Utica Concerning a Cop Killer
Onondaga DA William Fitzpatrick is on discussing the decreased sentence of a cop killer:
CENTRO Bus Tracker
What is it? Tracking city transit…actually, that's exactly it. You'll know when the bus is coming:

Interview with Ajax
Shmoop's crack team of P.I.s recently broke into the offices of Dr. Logos, esteemed therapist of the gods. The following transcript paints a revealing portrait of Ajax, who apparently is still troubled by the things that happened to him in life, despite the fact that he's been dead in the Underworld for years.
Dr. Logos: Hello, Ajax.
Ajax: Doc.
Dr. Logos: Have a seat, please.
Ajax: I'll stand, thanks.
Dr. Logos: Oh do sit. The couch has been reinforced since your last visit.
Ajax: I will stand. Thank you, Dr. Logos.
Dr. Logos: Oh my… well. If you insist.
Ajax: I do.
Dr. Logos: I'm sensing a bit of hostility from you today.
Ajax: Gee, really?
Dr. Logos: Can you tell me about that?
Ajax: I told you I was never coming back here. You went to Lord Hades behind my back. He forced me to come.
Dr. Logos: It's my job, Ajax. You understand that, don't you? All souls who came to the Underworld through suicide require periodic psychological analysis. It's my duty. Wasn't it your duty that took you to Troy?
Ajax: Whatever.
Dr. Logos: Have a seat, please.
Ajax: I'm not sitting on your stupid couch. The last time it snapped in half!
Dr. Logos: You are a rather immense man, Ajax. I've reinforced it as I've said.
Ajax: I'm standing.
Dr. Logos: Oh very well, very well… Tell me then, have you had any more of those dreams?
Ajax: I don't dream.
Dr. Logos: I've heard differently.
Ajax: Tecmessa better not have said anything.
Dr. Logos: You have a good and loyal wife.
Ajax: I don't deserve her. I sacked her home city. Killed her father. Robbed her people. Took her as my property.
Dr. Logos: Do these things haunt you?
Ajax: Whatever.
Dr. Logos: Tell me, what have you been doing for recreation?
Ajax: Me and Hector wrestle.
Dr. Logos: You respect him, do you? A Trojan?
Ajax: The man has honor. More than I can say for most Greeks I know.
Dr. Logos: You still have a lot of anger, don't you?
Ajax: I'm fine. Are we done here?
Dr. Logos: We still have a bit more time.
Ajax: I am fine.
Dr. Logos: Tell me about the dreams, Ajax.
Ajax: I don't—
Dr. Logos: Ajax…half of Elysium hears you bellowing in the night.
Ajax: I don't care what they—
Dr. Logos: Tell me, and I'll tell Lord Hades that you never need to see me again.
Ajax: You want to hear about my dreams?
Dr. Logos: I do, indeed.
Ajax: You mean the ones where I hack up Odysseus, Agamemnon, and Menelaus and all those other Greeks who betrayed me? Where they beg for mercy and finally admit that I was truly the greatest living Greek warrior after Achilles died? Where they scream, "Please, please, please! Take Achilles' armor! You deserve it!"? Then I put on Achilles' gleaming armor and stand triumphantly. Then I hear laughter—waves and waves of mocking laughter. And suddenly my fallen foes turn into sheep. Dead sheep. All around me. And I turn, and the entire Greek army and the entire Trojan army all stand pointing and laughing at mad Ajax. Big crazy Ajax who killed a bunch of sheep, thinking they were his enemies. And the laughter hits me like fists, like mountains of fists all crashing down on me, making me small, and smaller, and…
[The sound of Ajax weeping like a baby.]
Dr. Logos: There now Ajax, there now. Have a seat, please.
Ajax: [blubbering] Okay, Doc.
[Ajax sits on the couch. There's a loud crash as it snaps in half. The giant man roars in rage]
Ajax: I thought you reinforced it!
Dr. Logos: I did, I did!
Ajax: You're just like the rest! You want to humiliate me! Mock me!
Dr. Logos: No, Ajax! I swear! I'm a therapist, not a carpenter!
Ajax: Rhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
[More crashing and the splintering of wood as Ajax bashes down the door with his huge fists and runs away.]
Dr. Logos: Hmmm… I'd call that progress.

Have you ever wondered how wind turbines actually work? In this article we aim to explain the process that enables these devices to convert wind energy into useable electricity.
Wind turbines work in essentially the same way as an electric fan, however instead of using electricity to turn a fan which will create a gust, we are using wind energy (the gust) to turn a fan that will create electricity.
The Inside of a Wind Turbine
As you can see above, a wind turbine features a large compartment that the blades are attached to via a rotary device. This rotary device is often connected to a pitch system that is able to point the entire blade system either upwards or downwards in order to be more efficient during different wind patterns. Not only does this provide efficiency, but it also helps protect the turbine during periods of severe gales.
The rotary device is connected to a shaft which will be linked to a gearbox. The gearbox is then connected via a cog system to the generator. When the wind blows, the aerodynamic blades begin to turn, moving the rotary device which will then turn the shaft, resulting in the gearbox coming into operation. When the gearbox starts to operate, the generator will turn and this is essentially how wind turbines work.
All of the above process is carried out in the compartment of the wind turbine shown towards the top of this page. Many wind turbines will also feature a yaw motor that has the capability of moving the turbine blades in any direction.
Visit the U.S Department of Energy for a more detailed look at the inside of a wind turbine.
Where Does The Electricity Go?
Once the generator has started to produce electricity, a series of high voltage cables running down the shaft of the turbine are able to carry the electricity to additional control units based on the ground. These can then convert the electricity to the format required by the local or national grid.

quote: How much nonsense can you cram into one post?
quote: "Instant" refers to zero lag when you press on the pedal. You may think there's none on a gas car, but that's because you don't know what zero lag feels like.
quote: The peak power from a gas engine at cruising RPM (for any speed) will pale in comparison to Tesla's induction motor at the same speed. Gas can only compete when you downshift and rev the engine up.
quote: A Model X will have ridiculous performance under all conditions. It faces no performance decline at altitude, like a gas SUV.
quote: Your understanding of a PHEV is pathetic. You don't use the engine to fully charge the battery. You use it to power the car when the battery runs out. Your numbers are complete BS as well, as they imply 10% thermal efficiency for the engine.
quote: 61% of US electricity comes from nuclear, natural gas, and renewables, all of which are far cleaner than gasoline. More importantly, virtually all US electricity is generated away from populations centers, using domestic fuel, at a fraction of the cost per mile, for all ~15 years of a car's life.
quote: REALLY? So the fact that electric motors' torque declines sharply as RPM increases is better than a gas engine, whose torque curve remains relatively flat as RPM increases, only to decrease gradually near the redline.
quote: Actually no. During the current limiting phase of the electric motor acceleration (zero RPM to peak power) the electric motor will produce pretty much constant torque due to constant current. When the motor reaches peak power it goes into the voltage limited phase where the back EMF of the motor limits the current and available torque goes into gradual decline.
quote: Current limits and battery voltage are not set in stone but are chosen by design for reasons like extending battery life.
quote: ICE's have zero torque available at zero RPM and therefore must idle. To get a car moving some slippage has to occur either by clutch or torque converter. An ICE's torque curve is far from flat anywhere in the RPM range.
quote: Back EMF does not limit current, it represents an increase in voltage that will rise until it matches the input voltage.
quote: With the Tesla, you could easily find yourself out of batteries after doing a few 0-60 sprints "for fun" at full throttle.
quote: Torque converter are viscous couplings and do not "slip".
quote: I don't know if it was true that he was just quoting wikipedia, but back EMF does indirectly limit current. You are correct about the current limit due to wire heating, but that's at low RPM. At higher RPM, there's a power limit due to battery/electronics/cooling, so V*I*pf is roughly constant, and voltage goes up while current (and torque) goes down with RPM. At even higher RPM, you hit a voltage limit from wire insulation and/or IGBT limits. So now you can't keep V*I constant, and ever increasing back-EMF with RPM limits current even faster.
quote: If by "a few" you mean "hundreds", then sure.0-114mph sprint, and cruising back to zero. 1 mile travelled, 0.5kWh used. So even with a leadfoot, you can cover 150+ miles on a charge.
quote: "Slip" is defined as the difference in rotation speed between input and output. Yes, viscous couplings have non-zero slip.
quote: You say no, and then basically say what I just said followed by something you paraphrased from wikipedia in an attempt to seem smart but likely don't understand.
quote: Voltage determines the speed of the engine; the current drawn will rise if a load is placed on the motor (which causes a drop in voltage). Current itself is limited by system wiring and the motor's windings, and exceeding this current would cause the motor and/or wiring to overheat.Will be funny to see what happens if a Tesla motor stalls while stuck at "full throttle". It will basically weld itself into a clump of molten metal in seconds.
quote: I'm not paraphrasing anybody!! Because your statement implieded that torque drops off (sharply) from zero RPM I stand by my disagreement with that.
quote: You might know the electrical theory but you don't know how EV's work. The motor controller will limit the current available to the motor. At low motor RPM it will chop the voltage to ensure that the current doesn't exceed its preset limit. This is what I call the current limited phase. As the current available is the preset limit it is constant as is available torque. It's the motor controller that limits the current not the load. Of course that is semantics as the load will increase to match the current i.e. the car will accelerate there by loading up the motor. As the motor crosses peak power (maximum voltage, maximum current) the back EMF generated by the motor is sufficient to prevent the current from exceeding the preset limit of the controller.
quote: The point is that electric motors' having full torque from 0 RPM is not an advantage over the gas engine. Sure, it makes the car "feel" fast but the performance figures tell the full story, and they're not exactly shattering any records.
quote: Current itself is not what drives the motor, it is VOLTAGE that makes things move. Voltage must be high enough to overcome the resistance of the system, and when a load is placed on the motor, resistance increases and voltage drops. To maintain a speed at a given voltage, more current is drawn by the motor.
quote: So the fact that electric motors' torque declines sharply as RPM increases is better than a gas engine
quote: The tesla has a 85 kW/h battery and your typical gas powered generator at full load uses about 1 gallon of gas per hour, per 5 kW of output.
quote: So if you had a 20 kW generator you'd have to run it for 4 hours to fully charge the 85 kW/h battery, which means 16 gallons of gas.
quote: Last I checked, 16 gallons to go 30 miles is a paltry 1 MPG.
quote: What you and other morons don't seem to get is that charging batteries IS AMONG THE MOST INEFFICIENT USES OF ENERGY possible.
quote: Of course it is. For engines with the same peak power, constant power with declining torque is far more useful than flattish torque and rising power.
quote: WTF is "typical"? Some POS from Home Depot? That's not where automakers get their engines, genius. Once again, you're using a 15% efficient engine for no reason.
quote: What on earth makes you think a car needs 85kWh to travel 30 miles? The Tesla does well over 200 with that much energy, even under bad conditions.
quote: Once again, no PHEV charges up the battery with the generator. The electricity drives the wheels, and only a trickle goes in to balance the occasional battery draw.
quote: WTF are you talking about? Round trip efficiency for lithium ion is 90% efficient.
quote: Seriously, where on earth are you getting all this nonsense from? Is there some website polluting your mind?

Visual Communication
Images permeate our everyday lives. Whether we are watching the news on TV, watching a movie on our laptops, or checking out a website on our smartphones, we are in constant interaction with images. In this course, we will learn why visual literacy matters. What do images tell us? How do we 'read' them? How do we produce them? The course explores these questions by introducing students to the techniques of visual communication, or how ideas, concepts, and narratives are conveyed through images - both still and moving. Using advertisements, television shows and film clips as case studies, we will examine both the formal features (e.g. design) and contextual elements (e.g. circulation) of images. We will explore how images are never 'neutral' because they work to support particular messages and agendas. Because our ability to analyze media is strengthened by media practice, we also will create our own visual artifacts (e.g. a short film, a digital collage, a small comic book, etc.) as part of the course.
The course listing presented here is subject to change. Please confirm all information on the the University of Pennsylvania Registrar's website or via Penn InTouch (PennKey required)

John O'Brien of The West Virginia Record reports that a Huntington, WV concert promoter is suing SLIPKNOT for canceling a 2001 show that he organized.Don Maynard filed the lawsuit Nov. 27 in Cabell Circuit Court against Slipknot Touring and band members Sid Wilson, Nathan Jordison, Paul Gray, Chris Fehn, James Root, Craig Jones, Shawn Crahan, Mike Thomson and Corey Taylor. Also named as a defendant are William Morris Agency and Ron Opaleski, who represented SLIPKNOT, and Artist Group International and Michael Arfen, who managed the band. The lawsuit says SLIPKNOT was supposed to perform Nov. 27, 2001, at the Huntington Civic Center but breached the contract by canceling because a family member of one of the band members became ill. "The defendants realized prior to the unilaterally canceling the show that the plaintiff had expended a significant amount of time, energy and money promoting the show based on the contract and that he would suffer damages as a result of the defendants breaching the concert contract," the complaint says. Maynard, who is represented by Huntington attorney Mark Underwood, is seeking $72,000. "As a result of the defendants' refusal to perform at the Nov. 27, 2001, concert and/or carry out other contractual obligations, the contract was breached by the defendants," the complaint says.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It looks like Nike has got its mojo back, Jim Cramer told Debra Borchardt at TheStreet.com Friday.
Cramer said that while investors worried about everything from gross margins to future orders to growth in China, the company had positive news on all fronts during its conference call.
Cramer said the key metric for Nike has always been future orders, which were up 7% for the quarter. That makes Nike a stock that will go up when the markets go up, but not go down a lot when the

China's Central Bank Welcomes U.S. Bailout Plan
The People's Bank of China released the following statement on Saturday morning in response to the passage of the U.S. financial rescue package. China's financial markets opened lower Monday after being closed last week for a national holiday.
Our translation; the Chinese original is here.
The Chinese government has been closely following the development and consequences of the U.S. financial crisis. Recently, the U.S. government's Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 has become a focus of world attention. President Hu Jintao has on many occasions said that China hopes for stability in U.S. financial markets and the healthy development of the U.S. economy, which is in the interests of the U.S. and in the interests of China, and is also beneficial to the healthy and stable development of the global economy.
We are pleased to see that, although there were some twists and turns, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives have finally passed the bill. We hope that this bill can be speedily implemented and achieve positive results, in order to stabilize the U.S. and global financial markets and restore investor confidence. China and the U.S. share common interests in the stability of financial markets. China is willing to strengthen coordination and cooperation with the U.S., and also hopes that countries around the world can work together to overcome difficulties and preserve the stability of international financial markets. As Premier Wen Jiabao has pointed out, in the face of the current crisis, first of all, countries should strengthen cooperation, and affected countries should actively take necessary measures, since only together can we effectively deal with the crisis; second, confidence is particularly important at a time of both financial and economic crisis; and third, for China to maintain strong, stable and rapid economic growth, without big ups or downs, is its greatest contribution to the world economy.
This year, in the face of many negative factors at home and abroad, the Chinese government has responded actively and taken effective measures to overcome difficulties and maintain the trend of steady and rapid economic growth. Overall, the fundamentals of China's economic development have not changed, the potential for sustained economic growth is great, and the economy continues to develop in the direction envisaged by macroeconomic adjustment policies. China's financial reform has made significant progress, the reform of the shareholding structure of the state-owned commercial banks has had significant results, and the management of small and medium-sized financial institutions is continuing to improve. Regulatory agencies have strengthened their prudential supervision, and financial institutions in general have enhanced their strength, profitability and ability to withstand risk. Market liquidity is abundant overall, and China's financial system is sound and safe. We are fully confident in China's economic development and financial stability.
The People's Bank of China will make financial and economic policies more predictable, targeted and flexible in order to maintain financial market stability and the sound and rapid development of the economy. The People's Bank of China and relevant regulatory authorities have already drawn up plans to avoid and reduce the impact of the U.S. financial crisis on China. Regulatory authorities will continue to strengthen both their supervision of and services to financial institutions, and urge financial institutions to strengthen their risk management in order to maintain the normal order of the capital markets. The People's Bank of China will also continue its close communication and cooperation with other central banks and international financial organizations, and work together to weather the financial crisis. We have the confidence, means and ability to maintain China's economic development and financial stability and contribute to the stable development of the world economy.

Definition of Anglicism in English:
1A word or phrase that is peculiar to British English: this new autobiography is studded with Anglicisms like lorries, plimsolls, and doing a bunk
More example sentences
- Anyway, I bet they all feel the same way about our own impenetrable Anglicisms.
