Steven Soderbergh is working on a new currency.
In his Chelsea studio, among various film posters and piles of moviemaking mementos, he has a few paintings in progress, including a new, livelier, "more Hendrix" version of a U.S. dollar bill. It's only one of the many artistic endeavors he bounces between now that he's begun his long-predicted hiatus from filmmaking.
On Tuesday, he will bring his Liberace film, "Behind the Candelabra," to the Cannes Film Festival, where it will compete for the same Palme d'Or he won 24 years ago for his first film, "Sex, Lies and Videotape."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Soderbergh has said this — a $23 million HBO movie starring Michael Douglas as the flamboyant pianist and Matt Damon as his lover, Scott Thorson, airing Sunday in the U.S. — will be his last film, at least for now. The 50 year-old's career in film — 26 protean features including "Out of Sight," ''Traffic" and the "Ocean's" franchise — will effectively conclude in Cannes, the same place it was internationally launched.
"It's not often you get the opportunity to arrange that kind of symmetry," Soderbergh says. "It's funny to think about how long ago that was."
Shortly after Soderbergh began tweeting a sparse novella and gave a remarkable speech at the San Francisco Film Festival in which he vented his frustration at Hollywood studios, he sat for a lengthy interview as he steps away from movies. "In theory," he says, "I'm finished."
AP: When you look back on your filmography, what do you think of it?
Soderbergh: It feels like one big movie to me, like chapters of a novel. There's continuity. There's evolution. I shot "Sex, Lies" in 35 days and "Candelabra" in 30 days. I'm more economical. I'd probably make them all a few minutes shorter. Shorter is always better.
AP: The break from movies you've long talked about is now effectively underway. How's it going?
Soderbergh: It's been a little quieter for me. My wanting to consider what my relationship to movies is can sort of happen while I'm doing this other stuff. . It's hard for me to do nothing.
AP: You've recently tweeted a novella, "Glue," and given a wide-ranging speech about how Hollywood could function better.
Soderbergh: It was kind of an opportunity to organize in one place a lot of thing I've either said in interviews or bars. It was just a way for me to structure it all, get it out and close the door on it. . As I walked out the door, I felt there were some things I wanted to memorialize about what I've seen.
AP: It felt like a goodbye.
Soderbergh: I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how I can optimize my process as a filmmaker, and I haven't seen a lot of effort expended on the part of the studios to optimize their process. And I don't understand it. The biggest stumbling block to this paradigm being revised is the cost of putting a mainstream movie out. It's truly the tail that's wagging the dog. It's influencing every decision at every level. I can't believe — unless there's some aspect of the relationship between the studios and the theater owners that I'm not aware of — that this is the only way it can be done.
AP: Is your stepping back motivated equally by industry frustration and by your desire to grow in some new way as a filmmaker?
Soderbergh: Yeah, absolutely, it's a combination of a lot of different things. Some of them have to do with the way the business is working now, some of them have to do with me just wanting a break from the social aspect of it. The fact that you're the target for tens of thousands of questions. It's a very intense process and you can feel worn down after a while. And then my own feelings just about the grammar of it, the language of it: Is there some other way to transmit and release information that isn't so prescribed? It's quite possible that I could end up making something that is designed more to be seen in a museum than a movie theater.
Soderbergh: It felt like: I need to tear everything down and start over. I've been thinking about that and thinking about what it might be. I want to take advantage of what people bring to a movie when they watch a movie. The fact that we're so image driven and that we've been watching images since we were infants, and we have associations that are carried with them. I want to figure out a way to take advantage of that, so that I'm sort of using those associations as fuel for what I want to do. I think that's going to require me taking some time to think about what those associations are, how I can use them, how I can build off of them, how I can subvert them. And see if there's some way that I can reverse engineer a narrative in which you, by the end of it, understand everything that happened but you're not quite sure how or why you did.
AP: It seems your search for a new kind of narrative is connected to what you've said about the confusing, fractured nature of life today.
Soderbergh: Especially in this country now, it's really hard not to look around and go: What the hell is going on? Is it possible to get anything done? Is the center of this country going to hold or is it just going to be completely marginalized by extremists on every side of every issue? I don't know. I'm alarmed.
AP: The private sexuality of "Behind the Candelabra" bears some similarities to "Sex, Lies."
Soderbergh: It was a great way to express my appreciation for a kind of movie I've watched my whole life but never got to make, which is kind of a melodrama. I looked at as being in line with all the Douglas Sirk movies and "Sunset Blvd." and "All About Eve" and "Valley of the Dolls." . It was interesting to look around and wonder when I'll be doing this again.
AP: What will you miss the most?
Soderbergh: Editing.
AP: What's surprising about you stepping away from filmmaking is that you seem to relish the process so much, shooting and editing your own films.
Soderbergh: I have a plan. I have an idea of how it can go, and I'm willing to throw it all out at a moment's notice to go somewhere else with it. I expect to discover things. I expect accidents. I expect something that somebody suggests or says will move me in another direction. I'm creating an environment in order to conjure that kind of things. I want my experience of making something to be fluid and to be surprising. I want it to come alive in front of me.
AP: Some filmmakers spend years carefully constructing the films they hope will be masterpieces. That kind of approach has never been appealing to you?
Soderbergh: No, mostly because it makes my work worse. I discovered early on, the more time I had to mull something over, the worse it got — or the more insular it got, the more introspective, the more self-conscious. I needed to treat it like a sport.
AP: HBO picked up "Candelabra" after no studio would take it, and you're currently contemplating several TV projects. Are you excited about television?
Soderbergh: Very. Very. There's a lot of great stuff being made. You can go narrow and deep, and I like that. And this is all David Chase. He single-handedly rebuilt the landscape. Anything that's on now that's any good is standing on his shoulders. I don't hear anybody talking about movies the way they talk about TV right now. . Knowing that I can't swim upstream forever, it seems to me that if I want to work, that I need to move to a medium in which the way I like to do things is viewed as a positive and not a negative.

Goalkeeper Michael McGovern insists any disappointment Northern Ireland felt after defeat in their Euro 2016 opener was replaced by sorrow following the death of supporter Darren Rodgers.
The 24-year-old from Ballymena died in Nice following his country's fixture with Poland on Sunday evening having fallen over a seaside promenade barrier and through the roof of a restaurant on the French coast.
For a country where ties with the community are particularly strong, the news hit the squad hard, with manager Michael O'Neill visibly emotional when he spoke about the incident on Monday.
The Irish Football Association is seeking a minute's silence prior to their game with Ukraine on Thursday and will also ask UEFA whether the team can wear black armbands in Lyon as a tribute to Rodgers.
The news also ensured the 1-0 loss to the Poles was put into context for a squad who had just made history in Northern Ireland's first ever Euros final appearance.
"It puts things in perspective, it's very sad," McGovern said.
"Someone comes over here and supports us, and he was probably really looking forward to it and wanting to have a good time and then he doesn't come home.
"It's heartbreaking for his family and friends. Our thoughts are with his family and friends in Ballymena."
The news broke after a weekend where Poland and Northern Ireland fans had happily mingled together on the Cote d'Azur and in the Stade de Nice.
Those displays of unity were also evident in Paris on Monday night when, in the 24th minute of their match with Sweden, Republic of Ireland fans stood up, applauded and sang, 'Stand up for the Ulsterman'.
"It was really nice to see," said defender Jonny Evans.
"I hadn't seen it but we were told about it. Ourselves have put a request in to UEFA and we'll definitely try and pay our own respects in some sort of way.
"It shows from the Republic of Ireland fans, the togetherness that's been in the tournament, especially towards Northern Ireland fans.
"I think as players we've been very proud of the way they've conducted themselves. Everyone I've spoken to speaks about how the atmosphere they've created has been unbelievable.
"The atmosphere that Northern Ireland and Polish fans had created in Nice, there was no animosity between, they got together, enjoyed it and made it more enjoyable for us knowing our families are safe. You can go to the game and relax."

NEW YORK PITTSBURGH PORTLAND PROVIDENCE SAINT LOUIS SAN DIEGO SAN FRANCISCO SEATTLE TULSA WATERTOWN BERLIN LONDON MANILA PARIS SHANGHAI HAVANA MEXICO CITY MONTREAL VOL. XIII (QUARTERLY) NEW YORK, APRIL, 1930 No. 2 The Art of Presentation T H E evolution of accounting has carried that utility from a stage where it was looked upon as a device for exhibiting figures, to a point where, if intelligently used, it may be made to present, in terms of dollars, illuminated pictures of processes and results. One hesitates to use the word "art" in referring to a balance sheet, lest some wag unearth his dictionary from underneath a dusty pile of accumulated newspapers and discover that the word "art" may be defined as "the embodiment of beautiful thought in sensuous forms." Yet, there is an art of balance sheet presentation. The art in relation to the balance sheet consists in formulating rules to depict results, conditions, relationships, and tendencies. In reference to the income statement it consists in developing rules which will result in showing and relating causes. Much has been accomplished in the formation of technique in the presentation of financial statements. In this process more emphasis has been placed on the balance sheet than on the income statement. Classification, grouping, and order in arrangement have served in the balance sheet to bring out the division of capital according to its uses; to show the equities, and the priority of liens. Not the least of the improvements has been the classification of surplus according to its derivation. The income statement has been immeasurably improved with the passing of time. First, it was a copy of the profit and loss account. Next, the statement was expanded into a sectionalized affair so as to show separately manufacturing, trading and profits, expenses, and losses. Now, there is a fairly uniform type of statement which is characterized by a stepping down of profits and general lines of demarcation among operating, general, financial and miscellaneous results. There are two aspects of presentation which, considerably neglected in the past, probably will receive attention, or at least be subjected to refinement in the future. The first is a hook-up between the income statement and the balance sheet which will show the profits imputed to the turnover of current assets as affected by the current liabilities, together with the load imposed on those profits by the indirect service, or non-service assets. The second aspect is a prolongation of the income statement so as to show the application of profits. At the present time the statement is allowed to rest with showing the amount distributed as dividends and the remainder carried to surplus. There is an opportunity for a constructive step here in showing the status of the profit remaining after dividends, that is, whether it has been invested in fixed assets, or remains in the current group. Such imposition would do much to clear up the fog which exists as to the availability of profits for future dividends.

Volt II
Volt II
Model 3650
In Stock
Our second generation Volt, the Volt II
Designed by RJ Martin, the Volt II has the same versatile blade and handle style as the original Volt, but with a hardworking 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade and textured, black glass-filled nylon scales. With this iteration, the original Volt showpiece becomes a tough, working knife. And to make sure your blade is always ready to go to work when you need it, the Volt II opens one-handed thanks to Kershaw's SpeedSafe® assisted opening system.
A simple pull back on the flipper and the Volt II opens smoothly and easily. We think you'll appreciate the versatility of the Volt II's slightly dropped point blade. This classic shape is just about perfect for any general utility task. Partial blade serration just extends the Volt II's capabilities and makes it easy to whip through materials like cord, webbing, or rope.
For a secure grip and a solid, satisfying feel in the hand, the Volt II has finger contours on the handle, diamond-patterned, glass-filled nylon handles, and heavy jimping on the back of the blade. The Volt II's pocketclip is reversible for tip-up or tip-down carry. And did we mention that you get all this at a value price?
Release Year: 2011
Technical Specifications
May be used on either manual or assisted opening knives. The "flipper" is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle.
SpeedSafe® Assisted Opening
Assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.
Liner Lock
Locks the blade open during use; one side of the knife's steel "liner," the steel plate to which the handle scales are attached, moves into position behind the blade to securely lock it open.
Pre-drilled holes in the handle enable the user to change either the tip position or the side on which the knife carries.
Additional Features
- SpeedSafe® assisted opening
- Flipper
- Liner lock
- Reversible pocketclip (left tip-down, right tip-up)

Take a look at the hottest hardware, cabinets, countertops and more.
Sliding doors connect this kitchen to the backyard, flooding the space with light.
For the kitchen island, homeowner and real estate agent Emily Norris reused a solid wood cabinet that came with the house (she was told it was an old Simpsons department store display case). Emily tried to talk herself into saving money with butcherblock counters, but in the end she realized if she didn't do Bianco Carrara Statuario marble, she'd regret it forever.

Tour the rest of the space in our Online TV segment.
Dark floor tiles contrast beautifully with white countertops.
Designer and homeowner Emma Reddington says the kitchen is now a blissful place to cook, and so much more functional with an eat-in island. Though the cabinets are budget-friendly, Emma, a former chef, didn't scrimp on the stove or the marble backsplash. "I refuse to cook on anything but gas, and this six-burner range is a real pleasure."
For more design and decorating ideas, browse the Emma Reddington Home Makeover photo gallery, or see a video tour of this house in our Online TV segment.
Instead of upper cabinets, a ceiling-height backsplash creates a dramatic effect.
The island was designed specifically to suit the room's modest dimensions and to keep things open visually. While small, it comes in handy during food prep.

Professor Mary-Anne Williams came to robotics through RoboCup. Her background began in computer science, from which she moved to AI, with a primary interest in knowledge representation and reasoning, having done some work in belief revision (how to update a knowledge base when you receive new or contradictory information).
In 2001, she attended the International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI), with which RoboCup was co-located, and was
captivated by the Sony AIBO (then used as players in RoboCup soccer). She was also impressed with how much progress there'd been since the first RobotCup, a few years earlier.
Returning to Australia, she wanted to see her belief revision algorithms running on a robot, thinking they might improve performance. However,
the only way to get an AIBO in 2001 was to actually start a soccer team, so that's what she did. That team placed third the following year and won the competition in 2004.
Ms. Williams is a Research Professor at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), Australia. She is also Director of the Innovation and Enterprise Research Laboratory (a.k.a. The Magic Lab), which has come under the umbrella of Quantum Computation & Intelligent Systems at UTS.
Her work focuses on cognitive models of decision making and behaviour in complex and dynamic environments, including applications in mobile robotics. In this interview, she talks about her work, her involvement with the International Conference in Social Robotics and the PR2 robot.

It helps us deliver the fastest results to our clients in the shortest amount of time -
Period. If you've never used one before we're not surprised, it's only been around for a few years and doesn't really look like much.
Two unassuming yellow and black hanging straps doesn't look that bad, right?
Those two straps are packed with enough power to challenge NFL super bowl champ Drew Brees and adaptable enough to give a great workout to clients in their 70′s – it's that great.
Here are the top reasons you need to start using the TRX.
Reason #1 – Faster Results
Doing sets and reps of biceps curls, inner thighs, and crunches followed by an hour of cardio is so 2007. There's no reason you have to spend any more than 3 hours working out a week to see amazing results. The TRX is a main component in kicking your workout into after burn mode.
Every move you do on the TRX requires that you uses more than 1 muscle group forcing you to work harder than you ever have before. A simple bicep curl turns into a core blasting total body move. And as we all know the more muscle you use the faster you build muscle and burn fat.
Reason #2 – New Moves
Exercise burnout is probably the main reason people quit an exercise program (maybe after starting one on January 1st?). The coolest thing about the TRX is that there is so much untapped ground that it's almost impossible to get bored. With countless ways to make even the simplest moves harder I'll be impressed if I ever reach the limits of the TRX.
The TRX plank takes a normal plank and puts in on steroids. With names like scorpions and atomic push-ups you can't go wrong.
Reason #3 – Huge Community
The TRX community is super cool. Free workouts you can find on-line, free Q and A, help finding TRX training in your area, and a whole lot more makes www.fitnessanywhere.com a really valuable resource for any fitness enthusiast. Even if all you want is a great workout from a certified trainer it's good to know that the workouts you're given are backed by a community that helping one another become better.
Reason #4 – All Core, All the Time
Like I said above you can't get away with simple isolated movements on the TRX (and why would you want to?). But the coolest thing is that your core muscles are used in every single movement. Back, shoulders, chest, and on and on. Every move makes your belly work. This not only helps melt fat, but it builds strong learn muscle and keeps your posture rocking (good posture is sexy, remember?).
7 benefits of regular physical activity
You know exercise is good for you, but do you know how good?
How exercise can improve your life.
No. 1: Exercise controls weight
Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. You don't need to set aside large chunks of time for exercise to reap weight-loss benefits. If you can't do an actual workout, get more active throughout the day in simple ways — by taking the stairs instead of the elevator or revving up your household chores.
Q1: How many calories do you need to burn to lose weight???
No. 2: Exercise combats health conditions and diseases
No matter what your current weight, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good," cholesterol and decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases. In fact, regular physical activity can help you prevent or manage a wide range of health problems and concerns, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain types of cancer, arthritis and falls.
No. 3: Exercise improves mood
Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.
No. 4: Exercise boosts energy
Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise and physical activity deliver oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and help your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you have more energy to go about your daily chores.
No. 5: Exercise promotes better sleep
Struggling to fall asleep? Or to stay asleep?
Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep. Just don't exercise too close to bedtime, or you may be too energized to fall asleep.
No. 6: Exercise puts the spark back into your sex life
Do you feel too tired or too out of shape to enjoy physical intimacy?
Regular physical activity can leave you feeling energized and looking better, which may have a positive effect on your sex life. But there's more to it than that. Regular physical activity can lead to enhanced arousal for women. And men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction than are men who don't exercise.
No. 7: Exercise can be fun
Exercise and physical activity can be a fun way to spend some time. It gives you a chance to unwind, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun social setting. So, take a dance class, hit the hiking trails or join a soccer team. Find a physical activity you enjoy, and just do it. If you get bored, try something new.
The bottom line on exercise
Exercise and physical activity are a great way to feel better, gain health benefits and have fun. As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. If you want to lose weight or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more. Remember to check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have any health concerns.

Specific: A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. To set a specific goal you must answer the six "W" questions:
*Who: Who is involved?
*What: What do I want to accomplish?
*Where: Identify a location.
*When: Establish a time frame.
*Which: Identify requirements and constraints.
*Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal.
EXAMPLE: A general goal would be, "Get in shape." But a specific goal would say, "Join a health club and workout 3 days a week."
Measurable - Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set.
When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goal.
To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as……
How much? How many?
How will I know when it is accomplished?
Attainable – When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them. You begin seeing previously overlooked opportunities to bring yourself closer to the achievement of your goals.
You can attain most any goal you set when you plan your steps wisely and establish a time frame that allows you to carry out those steps. Goals that may have seemed far away and out of reach eventually move closer and become attainable, not because your goals shrink, but because you grow and expand to match them. When you list your goals you build your self-image. You see yourself as worthy of these goals, and develop the traits and personality that allow you to possess them.
Realistic- To be realistic, a goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. A goal can be both high and realistic; you are the only one who can decide just how high your goal should be. But be sure that every goal represents substantial progress.
A high goal is frequently easier to reach than a low one because a low goal exerts low motivational force. Some of the hardest jobs you ever accomplished actually seem easy simply because they were a labor of love.
Timely – A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there's no sense of urgency. If you want to lose 10 lbs, when do you want to lose it by? "Someday" won't work. But if you anchor it within a timeframe, "by May 1st", then you've set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal.
Your goal is probably realistic if you truly believe that it can be accomplished. Additional ways to know if your goal is realistic is to determine if you have accomplished anything similar in the past or ask yourself what conditions would have to exist to accomplish this goal.
Justin's family and mine have been really good friends for many years, a friendship that's more like some family you get to choose, which is how I earned the affectionate title as Justin's aunt Rachel.
Knowing about my frustrations of physical limitations and health issues, Justin suggested that we could work together, be workout buddies. For me, it might mean feeling better, maybe a little stronger, more energy. And although Justin said it could help to hone his skills in helping those with limitations, I'm pretty sure that in his generosity, he just wanted to help me, while leaving my pride intact.
His passion for the gym is no secret, and seeing how skillfully he'd sculpted his own body's definition, it took very little convincing for me to try.
So what exactly is a personal trainer? To be honest, and more than a little ashamed, I'd always considered them to be those pretty, decorative people at the gym, who, while most helpful in learning the equipment, were more about bringing in new business.
Talk about misconception!! The amount of knowledge regarding the body's parts, musculature, systems, interactions, and function that is required to become licensed as a personal trainer is extremely difficult and frankly, would intimidate a "brainy" peron like me. So, my sincere apologies to all you beautiful, extremely smart, personal trainers out there, for my silly preconceived notions about what it is that you do. The difference between wandering around the gym, trying to decide which machines might work for you, and having a knowledgeable trainer tailor-fit a program just for you, is like the difference between traveling in a cattle car or going first class.
I believe that training for over 30 years with one of the most highly respected karate Sensei's in NY makes me a pretty good judge of teaching skills. So aside from the required learned skills, I've found Justin's patience, dedication and most importantly his intuitiveness, as to just how far to push, to be his natural gifts that will take him far in his chosen career and life in general. And while he is very serious about helping me accomplish the most that I can, there is no doubt in the fun and pleasure he gets from my every success.
So after 6 months of working with Justin, do I now look like a 20 year old model? I'm afraid that miracle would require a plastic surgeon with magical powers. Besides, it's not what this 65 year old grandmother was looking for. I will tell you that I've cut my diabetes and arthritis meds by half. I've regained most of my lost flexibility. I feel toned, love the way my clothes fit, there is now a bounce to my step and with each physical challenge that I conquer, I feel elated. Working out with Justin has also relieved some depression issues that were weighing me down. It's impossible to be depressed after working out for an hour in an atmosphere of achievement, pampering and kick-ass fun.
If you have any questions about my experience in working with Justin, please feel free to contact me at email@example.com.
If you're considering this positive adventure in self improvement, I strongly recommend that you go for it"!
As Justin says "you deserve it".

Photographs of the American West: 1861-1912
By 1848 the United States had acquired official title to the contigous land stretching westward to the Pacific, south to the Rio Grande, and north to the 49th parallel. Americans had long since explored and settled in many of these areas, but legitimate possession created an impetus for development that began to crystallize as other timely occurrences brought a greater influx of people to the West. The religious persecution of the Mormons had led them to begin their migration westward by this time. The discovery of gold would soon draw thousands more across the country.
This transition from a "wild" western frontier into organized segments of a federal union is documented in photographs. Private citizens and Government officials took the recently developed camera on their western adventures to record nature's curious sights and the marks that they as men and women made on the landscape. It is indeed a wonder that so many photographs have survived the hardships of the western experience, for early negatives were made of large glass plates. Some of these photographs have found their way into the National Archives as record materials of several Federal bureaus and offices, such as the Bureaus of Land Management, Indian Affairs, Public Roads, Weather, Agricultural Economics, and Reclamation; the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Geological Survey, boundary and claims commissions and arbitrations, the Corps of Engineers, the Forest Service, and the Signal Corps. The photographs listed below were selected from the records of these agencies now on deposit in the National Archives.
While the records of Federal agencies continue to document changes on the face of western America and the efforts toward effecting some kind of progress, an arbitrary cutoff date of 1912 has been used. At that time Arizona, the last of the contiguous 48 United States, was admitted to the Union. Having arrived at its destiny, the "Wild" West was in a sense officially terminated.
The captions in quotation marks are those of the photographer or the person who cared for the photographs before they came into the custody of the National Archives. Within quoted captions, bracketed material has been added by the compiler. Information following quoted captions and all captions without quotes has been provided by the compiler. The name of the photographer together with the date of the item is given if available. The listings are arranged by subject--such as transportation, lndian life, military life, and mining--and thereunder chronologically. An index appears at the end of the list. The index is arranged by State, the names of which usually are the same as their former territorial designations. Some entries appear under more than one State; others could not be indexed by State.
The back cover of this leaflet explains how to order complete sets of slides of all photographs described in this pamphlet and in the other Select Audiovisual Records leaflets. To order individual prints, negatives, or slides, write to the Still Picture Branch for a current pricelist. Many photographs of the American West are not included in this list. Separate inquiries about them should be as specific as possible, including names, dates, places, and other details.
The research, selection, and arrangement in preparing this select list was done by Charlotte Palmer, who also wrote these introductory remarks.

Wealth Watch / Kerry Connell
By many accounts, millions of Americans engage in magical thinking and fail to accept the reality of what it will take to live comfortably in retirement. In fact, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute's 2012 Retirement Confidence Survey, more than half of workers report that they have not even tried to calculate how much money they will need to live comfortably in retirement.
Without a doubt, many put their heads in the sand and either ignore planning for retirement altogether, or embrace overly optimistic myths. Let's look at some examples of "magical retirement thinking":
"I'll tap my home equity to pay for retirement": While your home's appreciation may strengthen your retirement picture, there are several cautions to keep in mind. First, gains on your home are taxable if they rise above the $250,000/person threshold. Second, you have to live somewhere, meaning you can only tap part of your equity. Third, you need to be able to be flexible about when you sell, and as we've experienced recently, real estate does not always increase in value.
"I can save later, when the kids are out of college": Time is not on your side, unless you are relatively young. If you wait until you are 50 to start saving for retirement, you will have to save at five times the rate of a person who starts at 30.
"I've saved some, but I'm a smart investor and my returns will save me": Better take a good look at how high the returns need to be. If you wait to age 50 to start saving, your return will have to be 25 percent a year, as compared to 7 percent a year if you started 20 years earlier.
"I'll die young, so I don't need to plan for 30 years in retirement": If you are married, it is very likely that one of you will live beyond 85. What if you are wrong and live beyond your money?
"I can downsize when I need to. I/we can live on less": This is another very popular idea. While it may be true for 80-plus-year-olds, the new retiree is likely to spend more in early retirement (age 65 to 75) than when he/she was working.
Working longer: A solution?
The best option is to start saving for retirement early. But if you are playing catch-up, working longer may be a solution to a shortage of savings. Working longer means more earnings, more retirement contributions, more investment income, no draw-down of assets and greater Social Security benefits. But there can be unexpected roadblocks: Health issues, corporate downsizing, loss of interest in work and family demands may hamper working beyond 65.
Therefore, when thinking about whether working longer will "work" for you, consider your "work expectancy," as well as your "life expectancy." If you can find a desirable job that can follow you into your sunset years, you may still be "golden."

While visiting Jobst Brandt I noticed his bike has some of the same components as mine — an Avocet Racing II saddle, a Continental front tire and an Avocet Road 30 rear tire. I guess it's not all that unusual though.
On my way home through the Stanford University campus I took Frenchman's Road to Junipero Serra Blvd., a favorite road taken by Jobst over the decades (he graduated from Stanford). At the end of the road there's a nice curb ramp to a small strip of pavement linking Junipero Serra.
The way Jobst tells the story of the ramp, he had enough of curb jumping in the 1980s and wrote a letter to the powers that be asking for just a small amount of pavement. After a lot of foot-dragging the ramp finally went in.
We are forever thankful for this small but meaningful cycling convenience.
