In this clever demonstration, a movie is played on-screen to show how Black Box's Hardened Managed Ethernet Switches provide instantaneous failover when the primary link fails. You'll see how there... more/see it nowis virtually no change in the on-screen movie due to dropped packets when the primary cable link is physically cut. collapse
With regard to management options, the three primary classes of switches are unmanaged, managed, and Web smart. Which you choose depends largely on the size of your network and how... more/see it nowmuch control you need over that network.
Unmanaged switches are basic plug-and-play switches with no remote configuration, management, or monitoring options, although many can be locally monitored and configured via LED indicators and DIP switches. These inexpensive switches are typically used in small networks or to add temporary workgroups to larger networks.
Managed switches support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) via embedded agents and have a command line interface (CLI) that can be accessed via serial console, Telnet, and Secure Shell. These switches can often be configured and managed as groups. More recent managed switches may also support a Web interface for management through a Web browser.
These high-end switches enable network managers to remotely access a wide range of capabilities including:
SNMP monitoring.
Enabling and disabling individual ports or port Auto MDI/MDI-X.
Port bandwidth and duplex control.
IP address management.
MAC address filtering.
Spanning Tree.
Port mirroring to monitor network traffic.
Prioritization of ports for quality of service (QoS).
VLAN settings.
802.1X network access control.
IGMP snooping.
Link aggregation or trunking.
Managed switches, with their extensive management capabilities, are at home in large enterprise networks where network administrators need to monitor and control a large number of network devices. Managed switches support redundancy protocols for increased network availability.
Web-smart switches—sometimes called smart switches or Web-managed switches—have become a popular option for mid-sized networks that require management. They offer access to switch management features such as port monitoring, link aggregation, and VPN through a simple Web interface via an embedded Web browser. What these switches generally do not have is SNMP management capabilities or a CLI. Web-smart switches must usually be managed individually rather than in groups.
Although the management features found in a Web-smart switch are less extensive than those found in a fully managed switch, these switches are becoming smarter with many now offering many of the features of a fully managed switch. Like managed switches, they also support redundancy protocols for increased network availability.

Japan Aims to Bring Fastest Train in the World to U.S.
The only existing high-speed rail in the U.S. is Amtrak's Acela Express, which takes close to three hours to travel between Washington, D.C. and New York City. But travel time could drop to an hour if Japan Railway succeeds in bringing the levitating Maglev train – the world's fastest train – to the U.S. Northeast.
That assumes the Japanese company can get approval to place a new high-speed rail corridor through the congested population centers of the U.S. Northeast. Besides, Amtrak has unveiled its own competing plan for a dedicated high-speed rail corridor that would slash Washington-NYC travel time to an hour and 36 minutes. [See graphic: Full Speed Ahead for High Speed Rail]
The Japanese SC Maglev train uses niobium-titanium alloy magnets cooled by liquid helium to temperatures of minus 452 degrees F (minus 269 degrees C). Such chilly conditions enable a superconductive state where the electrical resistance of a material approaches zero and allow for the generation of magnetic fields bigger than those used by current Maglev trains .
Extra hover height means that SC Maglev can safely operate at high speeds of at least 310 mph (500 kph). One of its prototypes set the world record for fastest train after hitting 361 mph (581 kph) on a test track in December 2003. Besides, added levitation space also means added safety in the event of yet another earthquake in Japan.
The first operational SC Maglev line is scheduled to connect Tokyo and Nagoya by 2027.
Yet even the fastest trains require certain conditions, such as their own dedicated tracks, in order to average high speeds. Amtrak's Acela service runs on older infrastructure shared by other trains, which limits its top speed of 150 mph (241 kph) to short stretches of track.
Conventional Japanese bullet trains of the non-levitating type run with a max speed of 186 mph (300 kph), which is not much faster than Acela trains. But they maintain a higher average speed on their dedicated tracks and experience less than a minute of delay on average per train each year.
"Even if it can run at 200 or 220 mph, if it's delayed, it's nothing," according to a Central Japan Railway manager. "But if it can run at maybe 150 mph and it's punctual ..."
President Barack Obama has proposed a $53 billion investment in U.S. rail over the next six years, and set the goal of giving 80 percent of Americans access to high-speed rail within 25 years.

Binx Walton by Devyn Galindo for Urban Outfitters Pre-Fall 2014
Damn, I remember being in High School, working 2 jobs. Both were minimum wage (which was $5.15 an hour in Texas). I saved every penny I earned just to go out into the world. Now, nearly 8 years have passed and I've since been fortunate enough to put myself through college and travel the world - from Cambodia to Greece to the Galapagos and many places in between. I've done all of this off of those hard earned pennies. I guess I consider myself an experiential spender. Money is a tool that can gain you new experiences, it can also buy you 'things' but which is richer? I constantly have to remind myself of this, it's easy to get caught up in wanting new things. If I could do anything for the kids, I would give them all plane tickets… I want them to learn all about the world and everyone in it. The more we know, the less we are afraid ya know? I hope you feel that energy in the photos I create… in the adventurous spirit, cultural style mixes, and diverse casting that are very true to my vision of the world. I hope to share the little bit of knowledge I've gained. I want to learn so much more. 😌✌ if you haven't already, my new website is up 📷www.devyngalindo.com 😘thanks for all the love & support!

2. The O.E.M. plastic inner fender is held on by various small bolts. Most of the bolts must be threaded out from below, such as these tucked away under the front bumper/radiator core support area. In addition, two bolts that reside directly rearward of the front tire must be removed. Many of the inner fender bolts will be rusty and hard to remove after having the tires sling mud and water on them for the past 20-something years. We recommend purchasing a new front end fastener kit (PN FE21800) from Original Parts Group. Trust us, it saves frustration in the long run.

Here's a feel-good article! I have seen how both tablets, laptops, and even handhelds like smartphones or iPods have been helpful for my own autistic son. I wish some of this technology had come out sooner! It's so good to see that there's some actual data to back the concept that these are invaluable tools for autistic kids, and for those with communications disabilities in general.
Merja Saarela's curator insight, September 13, 7:17 AM
I believe this is very good news for many parents struggling with communication challenges of their autistic child. Reserch results show remarkable progress especially with communication skills. So playing with the tablet seems to be very helpful for these children and their families.

Consumers who love, love, love social media might be intrigued by a new credit card that aims to involve an online community in how the card is designed, priced and promoted.
The card is the Barclaycard Ring MasterCard, unveiled Monday from Barclaycard U.S., the Wilmington, Del.-based domestic payments business of Barclays.
"In essence, it's the first crowdsourced credit card, as it pulls back the curtain that has traditionally separated banks from their customers to give the community a say over decisions related to economic trade-offs, product constructs and even profit-sharing," the company statement said.
Barclaycard created a website and social forum that allows cardholders to weigh in on how the card is managed and serviced, and together brainstorm ideas for future card features. Additionally, the company offers its "Giveback" program that allows its cardholder community to share in the earnings produced by its collective decisions. The company didn't specify how cardholders would get a piece of the profit pie.
The card will offer an 8 percent interest rate on all balances, no balance transfer fee and no annual fee, according to the company.
The card is currently in a "private alpha testing" phase, to use the company's verbiage, and is expected to be launched to the public later this spring. A website has been set up to encourage people to "request an invitation" to join the community.
The new card highlights recent efforts by issuers to dive into social media to connect with consumers. Credit card companies have turned to Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, "CityVille" and "FarmVille" to offer special promotions to cardholders, provide customer service or involve customers in the issuer's charitable giving.
Barclaycard Ring is taking the trend one step further by getting consumers involved in the credit card product design. Screen shots from the its website offer a window into the activities. A Q&A forum offers such topics as basics, first-timers, badges, money management, discounts and card balance and questions like: "How do you feel about rewarding active community members for their extra efforts?" Other functions include "answer a question," "submit an idea" and "take a quick poll."
Now that sounds like a card some people might really "like."

What are the factors that affect the amount of light a sample absorbs?
In this exercise, the role of the cell path length is examined. The cell path length is the length of sample that the light passes through. The cell path length is represented by the symbol l and is typically measured in centimeters.
In the experiment presented below, you will perform a series of simulations in which all experimental parameters are the same except for the cell path length. Each simulation will be performed using a different cell path length to isolate the effect of the cell path length on the absorption of light.
For each simulation:
- Select a cell path length.
- For each cell path length, perform the simulation to determine the intensity of light that reaches the detector.
- Calculate the transmittance.
- Calculate the absorbance.
- For each simulation, plot the l,T and l,A points on the graphs.
- After all the points are plotted, carefully examine the plots to see how T and A vary with l. Is either plot linear?
- The intensity of light from the light source is 300.0 photons/sec. (Only 10% of the photons are actually shown on the screen.)
- The transmittance is a fraction and is often expressed as a percentage. In plotting the results, enter T as percent transmittance.
- If possible, run the simulation sufficiently long to detect at least 1000 photons.

(WKBW release) Kenmore Mercy Hospital, a member of Catholic Health, commemorated 60 years of service to the Ken-Ton community on Friday.
Hospital staff and friends gathered in the Atrium for a celebration, re-commitment ceremony, and blessing from Bishop Edward Kmiec.
During this brief observance, those gathered gave thanks for the thousands of patients who have entrusted Kenmore Mercy Hospital with their care. Those assembled recommitted themselves to the Mission, Vision & Values which have led hospital employees throughout the decades.
Established on October 7, 1951, Kenmore Mercy Hospital delivered 821 babies and treated 3,450 patients during its first year of operation. Over the next 60 years, the hospital increased in size and added an array of programs, services, and technological innovations, to meet the changing needs of patients in the growing community. The hospital has since built several expansions, added new services, like the Knee & Hip and SleepCare Centers, and opened offsite locations to serve neighboring communities.
"While medical technology has unquestionably changed at the speed of light in the past 60 years, dedication and a compassionate healing environment remains the hallmark of Kenmore Mercy," said James Millard, Kenmore Mercy Hospital president & CEO.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald reminds us patience is a virtue
It's been a tough season for the Arizona Cardinals. They got off to a hot start at 4-0 but have stalled ever since, losing eight straight games.
If it's been a challenge for the team, the fans and the organization, just imagine what it's been like for perennial Pro-Bowl wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald.
Since 2009, Fitzgerald has played with six different starting quarterbacks and he's since seen his production and the amount of times he's targeted drop each of the past couple seasons.
How does he keep his composure and not let his frustration boil over?
"I'm human. I know that my teammates look to me as a captain to be a leader," Fitzgerald said. "It's easy to be a leader when things are always going your way and you got a hundred yard games and a lot of wins and scoring touchdowns, it's easy to lead. It's much more difficult to lead when things aren't going your way."
In 2010, he had 90 receptions and was targeted 174 times. He saw that number drop in 2011 to 80 receptions and 153 targets. In 2012, the numbers will likely decline again. With just four games remaining, Fitzgerald has just 56 receptions and has only been targeted 120 times during the first 12 weeks of play.
"This has been a learning experience for me," Fitzgerald stated. "Patience my dad use to always tell me that patience is a virtue and definitely my patience has been tested."
On Thursday Fitzgerald was asked about his ability to keep his composure this season as balls continuously sail wide and high throughout each and every game. He showed his leadership once again by turning the focus from himself to his team.
"I'm not the only one," Fitzgerald said. "A lot of guys on this team are having to deal with the adversity that we're having to face so I'm not in it by myself."
This weekend the Cardinals head to Seattle to face a Seahawks team that is 5-0 at home this season. It's also a place that Fitzgerald said is the toughest place he's ever played at any level.
Arizona is going back to John Skelton and his 64.4 passer rating and 54.7 completion percentage to try and find Fitzgerald on the field and get the "W" they so desperately need.

Feeling today like I want to start running. Like actually running, training eventually for a half marathon. I have a ton of motivation right now but unfortunately I fell on some balk ice a few weeks ago and fractured my tailbone. It's been too painful to do any kind of working out and probably will be for at least another week. Its frustrating to feel like I want to start something but not be able to. By the time I'm healthy the inspiration will probably have passed.
I'm going to attempt to come back to this blog among other things to keep the motivation here. Any tips for getting back into running?

Item/Description: Baxter 1900s bear is authentically dressed up in period costume as a 1900s-era businessman. This good luck & prosperity teddy bear is the millennium-issue, turn-of-the-twentieth century commemorative stuffed animal/plush doll from Pickford Bears The Brass Button Bear Collections 20th Century Collectibles line, celebrating and commemorating the 100th Birthday of Joshua Goodridge
***Brass Button Bears created a line of teddy bears that represents each decade of the Twentieth Century, with Baxter representing the 1900s. In addition to being hand-crafted and fully jointed, he is authentically outfitted-costumed as a Dapper Gentleman of that era, and comes with doll stand, button and tags
***Hang Tag tells the story of Baxter as well as the origin of these Bears: Baxter: Our 1900s bear is dressed for business in his affluent attire. Success is right around the corner. Let the good times roll. May Baxter bring luck and prosperity to your life in the new Millennium.
On a sunny winters day in 1900 June Goodridge, a seamstress in upstate Maine, opened the door to find a baby on her porch. He was wrapped in a simple blanket. She cared for the baby and their bond became so strong that she adopted the child and named him Joshua. When Joshua was eight, he made a teddy bear on his mothers sewing machine. He dressed it in the clothes of the day and fastened a brass button to it. The bear became his friend, and every ten years Joshua made another special bear. He went on to become successful in business and in life, with a happy marriage and ten children who he loved dearly. In the year 2000, Joshua Goodridge will celebrate his 100th birthday. To this day, he tells his children and grandchildren the story of how the bears bring luck and prosperity to his life.

Good things come to those who wait, or so the saying goes. That's a good thing, because I have rarely been as frustrated watching a game as I was today during the first half. I didn't know who to be mad at, frankly. The Head Coach and the Quarterback came to mind, but the Skins weren't playing well as a team. So, I waited, and guess what? The Redskins threw the ball deep enough for Moss to run it into the end zone. The problem is, the Redskins' defense has been on the field so much in this game those guys have to be worn down.
The Lions are winning 13 to 7. The Redskins stopped them, established the momentum they needed, and wham – an uncharacteristic interception. Now the Lions have the ball in Redskins' territory. Haynesworth is playing, but he's definitely hurting. The defense has to come up big. The Skins cannot afford to give up a touchdown here.

2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Amazon Kindle Fire
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds, Women, Men, Techies, Teens, Under $250, Under $500
We continue our 2012 Holiday Gift Guide with the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet. Why the Fire, and not the Kindle Fire HD? While the HD is a fine tablet in its own right, the price of the regular Kindle Fire is just right--especially if you buy quickly! As it turns out, Amazon is selling the Kindle Fire at a 20% discount for the next 3 hours (or until it runs out of stock, whichever comes first!) Amazon's looking to disrupt the tablet landscape with the Fire, and is pricing the Fire aggressively at $129 during this sale.
Purchasers of the Kindle Fire also get a 30-day trial of Amazon Prime, which'll let you get a nice sampling of what the company's Video on Demand service offers. Other services you can access from the Fire include Amazon's Android Appstore, Kindle books, a host of magazines, Cloud Drive, Cloud Player, and the Amazon MP3 service.
You can pick up a Kindle Fire now for $129 on Amazon. If you miss the sale, it's still a good deal at its regular $159 price.
Honorable Mention: Kindle Fire HD - $199

2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250, Under $500
The next item in Gear Live's 2012 Holiday Gift Guide is the Kindle Paperwhite. Why? well, as great as e-ink readers have been (and they've been pretty stellar,) since the original Amazon Kindle was released, their one tragic flaw has been that they become pretty useless in the dark. You either simply can't read them, or have to use a small light attachment accessory. Enter the Kindle Paperwhite. Amazon has designed what we consider to be the best e-ink reader to hit the market. It's flagship feature is the front-lit display, which works great when you're in the dark and want to read your latest ebook purchase without using a backlit tablet that's hard on the eyes, or an awkward clip-on light accessory. It also supports new features like telling you how much reading time you have before you finish your current chapter, and an all-touch display with virtually no lag. Check out our Kindle Paperwhite review, unboxing gallery, and video after the break for more, and head on over to Amazon to pick up the Kindle Paperwhite for $119 for that bookworm in your life.

Amazon Prime now available for $7.99 per month
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Hot Deals, Internet
Amazon Prime is the best deal in tech, and now Amazon aims to make it's two-day shipping, Kindle Lending Library, and instant movie and television streaming service a bit more accessible with an alternate price structure. Amazon customers now have the option of paying $7.99 per month for a Prime membership, which some may find more palatable compared to the yearly $79 lump sum pricing. Obviously, paying for a year up front offers a 20% savings, but we're sure many will opt for the monthly payment interval. Some are calling this a direct shot at Netflix and Hulu, each of which also offer instant streaming of television and movies, however, both lack any sort of shipping option (or retail store,) or monthly ebook lending library.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Handhelds, Product Reviews, Videos
Amazon introduced the Kindle Paperwhite alongside the rest of the completely refreshed Kindle family at a special event on September 6, and some would argue that, despite three new Kindle Fire tablets being introduced, the star of the show was the Kindle Paperwhite. The Paperwhite takes the place as the top E Ink Kindle model. Avid readers still have an affinity towards E Ink displays, as they're much easier on the eyes than backlit tablets and smartphones. The problem with them is that they generally are unusable in the dark. Barnes & Noble solved that with its Nook Simple Reader with GloLight, and now Amazon has its own solution with the Kindle Paperwhite, which features a front-lit, touch-sensitive, E Ink display. Does it live up to the hype? Follow along in our unique take on a Kindle Paperwhite review to find out.

StoryBundle launches its next e-Book pack focused on crime and thrillers
Posted by Ponzi Black Categories: Hot Deals, Misc. Tech
We talked about StoryBundle back in August, when their first bundle launched with 7 Sci-Fi indie books. Now they're back with 7 more crime and thriller books.
The concept is still the same as last time. They take the indie game bundle model and bring it to ebooks. You can pay whatever you want for five DRM-free books, but if you pay more than the bonus price of $7, you get two bonus books. You decide how much to give to the authors, how much to give to StoryBundle to keep the business going, and you can choose to donate part of your purchase to one of two charities. That's good enough to make it our Deal of the Day.

Electricity generation capacity in the UK is to tighten faster than previously expected through to the 2015/2016 "pinch point", British energy regulator Ofgem said on Thursday in its annual assessment of forward generation margins.
More than 2GW of installed capacity will withdrawal from the market in coming years, Ofgem said, which will combine with expectations of a further 1GW of plant being mothballed by 2016 on top of what has already been announced.
These factors will force the margin to tighten quicker than predicted in last year's assessment.
The withdrawal and mothball figures have only emerged over the past eight months, and as such were not factored into the 2012 report, when the pinch point was first revealed (see EDEM 5 October 2012).
The projection covers the de-rated capacity margin, which is the expected excess of available generation capacity to demand, expressed as a percentage.
According to the reference scenario, the de-rated capacity margin stands around 6% in 2013/2014, falling to 5% in 2014/2015, and shrinking to below 4% in 2015/2016.
'High' demand
The high-demand sensitivity points to a potential margin of less than 2%. But, rather than be based on an increase in consumption, the high demand scenario merely assumes flat year-on-year consumption, reflecting the weakness of electricity demand projections in the UK.
"This means that the probability of a supply disruption increases from 1 in 47 years now to around 1 in 12 years for 2015/2016 or lower," the report said.
"If the projected decline in demand does not materialise, margins could fall to 2%," the report continued.
Although the rate at which the margin will tighten is set to increase, a host of uncertainties remain, not least the shape of the demand curve, which traders indicated on Thursday would act as a restraint to positions being taken on the back of the report's findings.
Far-curve prices were pushed higher relative to the NBP wholesale gas market after last year's publication, which led to offers being lifted on longer-dated spark spreads (see EDEM 11 October 2012).
But one trader said that tightening margins had been priced in for some time and the accelerated tightening was not sufficient to stir the bulls. Observed bid-offer spreads on Thursday afternoon backed this, indicating a slight decline in far-curve values. Jamie Stewart

When China Rules the World – Martin Jacques
In When China Rules the World author Martin Jacques warns that the rise of China will not be benign. China's ascent to global dominance is inevitable, and the Western world has much to fear.
For over two hundred years we have lived in a western-made world, one where the very notion of being modern was synonymous with being western. This original and ground-breaking new book argues that the twenty-first century will be different. With the rise of increasingly powerful non-Western countries, the west will no longer be dominant and there will be many ways of being modern. In this new era of 'contested modernity' the central player will be China.
Far from becoming a western-style society, China will remain highly distinctive. Continental in size and mentality, and accounting for one-fifth of humanity, China is a 'civilization-state' whose characteristics, attitudes and values long predate its existence as a nation-state. China is already having a far-reaching and much discussed economic impact, but its influence will be far greater than this: China's rise signals the end of the global dominance of the western nation-state and the rise of a world which it will shape in a host of different ways.
As it rapidly reassumes its traditional position at the centre of East Asia, the old tributary system will be resurface in a modern form, contemporary ideas of racial hierarchy will be redrawn and China's ages-old sense of superiority will reassert itself. China's rise will change the world as we know it, from one made in the west to one increasingly shaped by China.
This profound and far-sighted book explains for the first time the deeper meaning of China's arrival as a global power.

Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning's® fast one hour dry time allows you to call your local Doyle carpet cleaning franchise for emergency cleanings any time, perhaps to prepare your home for a last minute get together, or to freshen it up for your in laws who decided to drop by unexpectedly (see our Doyle carpet cleaning coupons for year-round specials).

Spin bonnet and steam cleaning are out and Oxi Fresh is in! Oxi Fresh's Doyle carpet cleaning location produces a true deep cleaning, as opposed to the top surface cleaning experienced with the spin bonnet method which actually pushes dirt and oily grime deeper into the carpet pile.

More customers choose Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning® for our pile lifting technology which effectively emulsifies and removes the oils and dirt from the bottom of your carpet pile. We do all this while using very little water, leaving your carpets dry in approximately 60 minutes.

And how do you use it? This is what this article is striving to explain especially in regards to photomanipulation.The Technical PartThankfully, there's tons of reading material about colour theory. Starting with the wikipedia article on the subject (which seems rather dry and boring to be honest) and ranging to tutorials written by deviants for their fellow artists. Those are the ones I'd like to recommend to you to get started in colour theory: Still too dry and technical?Okay, let me put it this way: the use of colours in your artwork can determine its mood and atmosphere.

We love it! Fits great in our bathroom. You do need to put a pad on the bottom however because it tends to move about.
Bought it because it matched my patio furniture...it looks beautiful on my deck.
Very pretty rug for my daughters room. The blue color was just right for her colors and accurately described on the site. A little on the thin side. It would help to put a pad underneath.
Perfect rug.. just wished I had oreder a bigger one... its perfect!
I bought this rug for my childrens play room. The color was exactly what the picture depicted. It is a gorgeous blue. It is soft to the touch and there has been zero shedding. It is also washable! Big plus!

A "very concerned" Janet Yellen told a congressional panel today that she thinks income inequality is "one of the most important issues and one of the most disturbing trends facing the nation at the present time."
But why, exactly?
1.) If you buy the thesis that a big jump in high-end inequality has been mostly driven by technology and globalization, then the alternative is more equality, perhaps, but less innovation here and more extreme poverty abroad. Now that's a disturbing scenario.
2.) If you are concerned about upward mobility, then family structure, education, and geographic segregation are bigger issues than 1%-99%-style inequality, which has zero correlation with climbing the opportunity ladder.
3.) Along those same lines, here are e21′s Scott Winship and Donald Schneider, whose recent work undermines "the idea that rising inequality has hurt economic mobility … the accumulating evidence [is] that mobility has been stable and that there is little robust correlation between inequality and mobility levels across geographic areas. We argue that instead of trying to construct an unsupportable case that mobility is falling and that inequality is to blame, Democrats should simply point to the insufficiently high mobility levels experienced by poor children."
4.) If you are concerned about poverty, income inequality is a distraction. Poverty expert Ron Haskins of Brookings: "If our goal is to increase opportunity, it seems unlikely that limiting income at the top of the distribution or taking more money from the rich will increase opportunity."
5.) If you are concerned that crony capitalist links between big business and big government are promoting inequality and making the American Dream seem like a rigged game, well, right on! But Yellen didn't talk about that.
6.) Does Yellen know that the top 1% own a slightly smaller share of US wealth than a generation ago?
7.) Here is social scientist Lane Kenworthy, a progressive who just wrote a book on creating a Nordic-sized welfare state in the US: "Faster economic growth would be a good thing (particularly if with it came a shift towards greener growth). But there is little evidence that the American economy will grow more rapidly if the US manages to reduce income inequality. … Income inequality is too high in the US. It would be good to reduce it. But it is a mistake, in my view, to put inequality reduction at the top of the agenda."
What disturbs me is the lack (a) economic growth, (b) good-paying, full-time jobs, (c) social mobility, and (d) educational opportunity in a time of advancing automation. Those are the disturbing trends Yellen, given her prominence and bully pulpit, should be talking about.

Ernest Hemingway's short story – a man calmly waits in a small town for two gunmen to come and kill him – inspired two classic movies: an archetypal film noir from 1946 directed by Robert Siodmak, and this one by Don Siegel (Dirty Harry).
Both set out to explain the victim's passivity and both work exceptionally well. Siodmak has Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner but Siegel just pips him with his two gunmen: Lee Marvin at his wintry best, and Clu Gulager as his twisted sidekick.
Made for TV, but you wouldn't know it.
