Energy saving solar technology will be built into asphalt, paint and windows
Ever wonder how much energy could be created by having solar technology embedded in our sidewalks, driveways, siding, paint, rooftops, and windows? In the next five years, solar energy will be an affordable option for you and your neighbors. Until now, the materials and the process of producing solar cells to convert into solar energy have been too costly for widespread adoption. But now this is changing with the creation of “thin-film” solar cells, a new type of cost-efficient solar cell that can be 100 times thinner than silicon-wafer cells and produced at a lower cost. These new thin-film solar cells can be “printed” and arranged on a flexible backing, suitable for not only the tops, but also the sides of buildings, tinted windows, cell phones, notebook computers, cars, and even clothing.
You will talk to the Web...and the Web will talk back
“Going” to the web will change dramatically in the next five years. In the future, you will be able to surf the Internet, hands-free, by using your voice—therefore eliminating the need for visuals or keypads. New technology will change how people create, build and interact with information and e-commerce websites—using speech instead of text. We know this can happen because the technology is available, but we also know it can happen because it must. In places like India, where the spoken word is more prominent than the written word in education, government and culture, “talking” to the Web is leapfrogging all other interfaces, and the mobile phone is outpacing the PC. In the future, through the use of “VoiceSites,” people without access to a personal computer and Internet, or who are unable to read or write, will be able to take advantage of all the benefits and conveniences the Web has to offer. And by the web becoming more accessible by using voice, it will become easier to use for everyone. Imagine being within a phone call’s reach from the ability to post, scan and respond to e-mails and instant messages—without typing. You will be able to sort through the Web verbally to find what you are looking for and have the information read back to you—as if you are having a conversation with the Web.

AD REINHARDT http://www.sharkforum.org/2008/02/feeding-frenzy-funnies-hamann.html
Sharkforum OpEd Cartoons and Comics by Steve Hamann and Mark Staff Brandl
Steve Hamann and I will be doing an irregular series of cartoons and short comics on art for Sharkforum. They will primarily be collaborations between us, yet also individual pieces as well. All will be presented here in the future under the rubric Feeding Frenzy Funnies.
The first was actually already featured before the new site organization took place, as we jumped the gun in excited anticipation, in order to lampoon the Dominic Molon Sympathy show. Additionally, I did a handful of cartoons and comics as Sharkforum Funnies and certain illustrations in the past. The last several of which were also collaborations with Steve, a truly talented cartoonist and painter. However, in the future look for them under our new title.
A new one on the Consensus Academy will appear shortly, but first I want to give a quick reminder of a likeminded soul in art history's past: Ad Reinhardt.
Actually, Reinhardt is not the inspiration for our work, as both Steve and I truly came to comics out of comics. We individually grew up with, appreciated and even published comics and cartoons before we each became "fine" artists. Yet Ad can serve as an excellent Patron Art Saint to our project.
Ad Reinhardt, originally an Abstract Expressionist Painter, is an artist whose work became progressively reductivist and mystical. He is best known for his all black paintings of the 1960s. Yet Reinhardt was also a prolific illustrator, designer and cartoonist. His cartoons expound many of his artistic doctrines in a livid, yet delightfully amusing fashion. This is one of them titled "How to Look at an Artist." Several others can be found on the web, although the central website repository for them at silversteingallery.com is apparently temporary gone, due to redesign. Use Google Image Search and you can still find several of the works on this website indirectly until they make an organized reappearance. Click on this image for a much larger pop up that you can navigate with your arrow keys.
More Reinhardt cartoons should be here, and may soon reappear:

Tapetal Reflection This is the tendency for an animal's eye to "glow".
It is caused by light reflecting off the colored tissue on the back of the
eye, known as the tapetal fundus

How is it coming Uncle Charles? Thanks for sharing all the best a you get ready. Love KEM
I think "Seeing is believing picture is worth a thousand words , Silence is golden"... Is a mouth full. Works on paper Feb. 1 through 30

Also I like the Magritte portrait.
Can't wait to see what you come up with at the museum (at least in photos) On Jan 7, 2009, at 10:02 12AM, Charles Mingus III wrote:
Thanks for the feedback ...I will post an installation snap or 2 .
the 3 images I sent you cover the range of the work & contrasts
nicely the horror of real life in the show adequately ...
#1.
The first one is a prosaic still life with randomly dashed yellow anthropomorphic neo icons as indicators of its fictive space...
#2.
And the second sly reference to constitutional erosion as artist just doing there job are dragged into the ream of contemporary political reality to make posthumous the case for privacy and or free will or an exercise of the imagination. (A posthumous recognition is a ceremonial award given after the recipient has died)
#3. "DICK IN DUBAI-2"
What can one say the portrait is forever outdone and at best a dim shadow of my original intent to portray the authorship of Xenotransplantation and DNA man handling as a "accidental afterbirth with the donors face, "DICK IN DUBIA", behind a burst open Gitmo chain link fence. The same one ( burst open Gitmo chain link fence)
that surrounds a resurrected Belgian my current favorite quotable (this is not a artist) Renéé Magritte.
I had no intention of saying any of this, the images at some point look like they deserved a graphic element so I thumped in some text on the page...
I am happy you like the flowers I made dozens of those from photos I made after flowers given to me for my birthday had no other purpose the were going to be thrown out just as there life speaks of death as all cut flowers speak “get on with beauty” at the point
they saying happy birthday there wilting petals stood out as long or longer than any I’d seen, almost heroically, so I chose them, to memorialize them with a ghostly world (Where do the spirits of cut flowers go?) so also added the MackEyeAronies which add a dimension of illusory life, anthropomorphism is a kind of mental Robotics a kind of
foolish optimism we all practice...
It is also a kind of response to Ad Reinhardt’s work I have seen, another favorite I wish to pay homage to and say His Zen Zero Black "This is not nothing " works actually gave me a sense of new life ...
Black is not fear and space is without perspective or codification then now and when not here its still to be counted on to hold as much as light can reveal. His warm black and cool blacks created real time Doppler shifts I witnessed after siting still for a day in front of one.
Why not I had the time and was curious what or why a person would paint an all black painting and discovered that there were even no zeroes that he crafted a series of black rectangles in precise proportions, value, hue colors and scale which could evoke depth ,
truly awesome and very privet close up magic.
The space in his work is actual size not a reference to an allusion or illusion of space and at that time the camera and film and inks couldn't reproduce or depict them at all so they printed as black I hated his work until I actually was so angry at what I thought was his lazy anti art I went to see it for my self and came home sobered and temporally enlightened but permanently open and grateful.
be well CM3

==========================================
Yes, it's that magical time of year again when the Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the least evolved among us.
Here is the glorious winner:
1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, California would-be robber
James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again.
This time it worked.
And now, the honorable mentions:
2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat-cutting machine and after a little shopping around, submitted a claim to
his insurance company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine
and he also lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved.
3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a
woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be
transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus
stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff
that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train.
When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get
his head to a moving train before he was hit.
6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened
the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided.
The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got
from the drawer... $15. [If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?]
7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a
liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window.
The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store
window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.
8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911
immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police
apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car
and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse
from."
9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 5 A.M.,
flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register
without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man,
frustrated, walked away. [*A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER]
10. When a man 20 attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more
than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled
sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to steal gasoline and plugged his siphon hose into the motor
home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges saying, that it was the best laugh
he'd ever had.
In the interest of bettering mankind, please share these with friends and family...unless of course one of these individuals
by chance is a distant relative or long-lost friend. In that case, be glad they are distant and hope they remain lost.
*** Remember... They walk among us!!!

500YearsofOppression
A Gruesome Account from Las Casas Excerpt taken from Bartolome de Las Casas, The Devastation
of the Indies, (reprint 1965),33-35 ...And the Christians, with their horses and swords and pikes began to
carry out massacres and strange cruelties against them. They attacked the towns and spared neither the
children nor the aged nor pregnant women nor women in childbed, not only stabbing them and dismembering
them with but cutting them to pieces as if dealing with sheep in the slaughterhouse. They laid bets as
to who, with one stroke of the sword, could split a man in two or could cut off his head or spill out his
entrails with a single stroke of the pike.
They took infants from their mothers' breasts, snatching them by the legs and pitching them headfirst
against the crags or snatched them by the arms and threw them into the rivers, roaring with laughter and
saying bas the babies fell into the water,
"Boil there, you offspring of the devil!"
Other infants they put to the sword along with their mothers and anyon else who happened to be nearby.
They made some low wide gallows on which the hanged victim's feet almost touched the ground,stringing
up their victims in lots of thirteen, in memory of Our Redeemer and His twelve apostles, then set burning
wood at their feet and thus burned them alive.
To others they attached straw or wrapped their whole bodies in straw and set them afire. With still
others, all those they wanted to capture alive, they cut off their hands and hung them round the
victim's neck, saying, "Go now, carry the message," meaning, Take the news to the
Indians who have fled to the mountains. They usually dealt with the chieftains and nobles in the
following way:
they made a grid of rods which they placed on forked sticks, then lashed
the victims to the grid and lighted a smoldering fire underneath, so that little by
little, as those captives screamed in despair and torment, their souls would leave them.
I once saw this, when there were four or five nobles lashed on grids and burning; I
seem even to recall that there were two or three pairs of grids where others were
burning, and because they uttered such loud screams that they disturbed the captain's sleep,
he ordered them to be strangled.
And the constable, who was worse than an executioner, did not want to obey that order (and I know the
name of that constable and know his relatives in Seville), but instead put a stick over the victims'
tongues,so they could not make a sound, and he stirred up the fire, but not too much, so that they
roasted slowly,as he liked. I saw all these things I have described, and countless others.
And because all the people who could do so fled to the mountains to
escape these inhuman, ruthless,and ferocious acts, the Spanish captains, enemies of the human race,
pursued them with the fierce dogs they kept which attacked the Indians, tearing them to pieces and devouring
them. And because on few and far between occasions, the Indians justifiably killed some Christians, the
Spaniards made a rule among themselves that for every Christian slain by the Indians, they would
slay a hundred Indians.

I recently had the chance to test two state-of-the-art LED light bulbs from EarthLED. LED bulbs have many
advantages over incandescents and compact fluorescent: they use very little power, they last 10 years or more,
and they contain no hazardous substances. They are also tough: they can be dropped and turned off and on
repeated without damage, they can operate in very cold or warm temperatures. Read more →

Sharp is introducing a new range of solar-powered LED streetlights. These self-contained lights charge during the day,
and switch on automatically when darkness falls. They can operate for 10 years straight without maintenance. They
make use of new, high-intensity LED spotlights, which are ideal for public parks. The LEDs illuminate with a directed
light and don’t send light into the sky (thus causing light pollution). The streetlights also feature a Seismic Motion
Sensor that detects the occurrence of a major earthquake. If an earthquake is detected, the light turns on at full
brightness during the night, to assist during possible power interruptions.

We could be generating huge amounts of power from sewage. The process is fairly simple —
just ferment sewage to produce a fuel called biogas. Biogas is almost entirely methane, and
so is natural gas, so the two are essential interchangeable. The potential to produce biogas
is almost entirely overlooked by most countries — except Sweden. Read more →

Acquavella To Show Wynn's Damaged Picasso
By Bloomberg News | September 29, 2008
A $139 million Picasso painting damaged by billionaire owner Stephen Wynn when he somehow poked his elbow through it
will be publicly shown for the first time since the 2006 mishap.
The patched-up "Le R‚·," or "The Dream," owned by the Las Vegas casino operator, is part of a Picasso exhibit opening
Oct. 15 at Acquavella Galleries on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Other lenders to "Picasso's Marie-Therese" include the Metropolitan Museum of Art and collector Steven Cohen, founder of
hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors LLC.
Dealers estimated the show includes more than $500 million in artwork, though most isn't for sale ? including "Le R‚·."
"He has no intention of selling it," said Nick Acquavella, a gallery director.
Mr. Wynn, who has an eye impairment, accidentally put a silver-dollar-size hole in the 1932 portrait of Picasso's sexy blonde
mistress Marie-Therese Walter while showing it to friends, who included the writer Nora Ephron. The 2006 incident occurred
less than 24 hours after he agreed to sell "Le R‚·" to Mr. Cohen for $139 million. The sale was eventually canceled.
The tear was repaired and the erotic painting of Picasso's dozing lover, with her left breast exposed, usually hangs in
Mr. Wynn's Las Vegas office.
"To the naked eye, you can't really see anything," Mr. Acquavella said.
