Joel Garreau
Joel Garreau, author of Edge City: Life on the New Frontier, is the foremost chronicler of the biggest revolution in 150 years in how humans build cities. Most recently, his study of technology's impact on culture and values has led him to conclude that the future of cities is "Edge City 2.0: The Santa-Fe-ing of the Planet."
All cities are always shaped by the state-of-the-art transportation technologies of the time. Today, accelerating technologies are transforming cities faster and more thoroughly than did the automobile – from the upheaval in retail and office space to robotic cars and gigabit connections.
But the gold standard of human interaction remains face-to-face contact, and it is becoming ever ever more valuable as a result of being that rarity – something not digitizable in the foreseeable future. Garreau argues that face-to-face is the one and only reason for cities in the future. Places that are good at providing it will thrive. Those that are not, will die. This is especially true of Edge Cities 1.0 like Tysons that were optimized for the automobile, the jet passenger plane and corporate computing. They now risk being left behind in favor of places that for the first time are becoming highly urbane without becoming urban. Think Monticello with broadband.
A former reporter and editor at The Washington Post, Joel today is the Professor of Law, Culture and Values at Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law and is Affiliated Faculty in its School for the Future of Innovation in Society.

|Earth To Mars in a Month With Painted Solar Sail - Space.com This is how it would work: a rocket would take the craft to low-Earth orbit, whereupon the craft would unfurl a 100 meter diameter sail. A transmitter on Earth would fire a one-hour burst of microwaves at it to heat it up, accelerating the craft to 60 kilometres per second. This would set an interplanetary speed record for space probes. The plan would require a 60-megawatt microwave beam with a similar diameter as the sail.
|Why Rice Should Thank Zarqawi - Science Daily This poisonous Jordanian terrorist has done the world a service. Almost at a stroke he has eased away the accumulated grievances between Washington and Paris, between America and Europe, by couching the struggle in Iraq in terms that force even the French onto the side of President Bush. "We are at war with democracy," Zarqawi declared, in an announcement that coincided with the Iraqi elections on Jan. 30. "Democracy is an evil principle." If anything could persuade President Jacques Chirac that the White House was on the side of the angels, it was Zarqawi's wonderfully helpful reel of videotape.
|Boston Nanomachine Holds Promise For Quantum Computing - Science Daily Left: The nanomechanical structure fabricated by the Mohanty group at Boston University consists of a central silicon beam, 10.7 microns long and 400 nm wide, that bears a paddle array 500 nm long and 200 nm wide along each side. This antenna-like structure oscillated at 1.49 gigahertz or 1.49 billion times per second, making it the fastest moving nanostructure yet created. Credit: Pritiraj Mohanty, Boston University. With two sets of protrusions, much like the teeth from a two-sided comb or the paddles from a rowing shell, the antenna not only exhibits the first quantum nanomechanical motion but is also the world's fastest moving nanostructure. Comprised of 50 billion atoms, the antenna is so far the largest structure to display quantum mechanical movements.

EMC Corporation, et al. v. Zerto, Inc., C.A. No. 12-956 - GMS, March 31, 2016.
Sleet, J. Defendant's motion regarding inequitable conduct is denied; its motion for a new trial or to alter judgment is denied; it renewed JMOL motion is denied. Plaintiff's JMOL motion is granted as to one patent and denied as to two others; its motion for a permanent injunction is denied; its motion to amend the judgment is granted in part and denied in part. The parties are to engage in mediation regarding an appropriate royalty rate.
A 10-day trial took place beginning April 27, 2015 and the jury found for plaintiff and awarded $585,783 in damages. The disputed technology relates to data protection. Defendant asks to hold the '867patent unenforceable because of a misleading statement during IPR and for failure to disclose references in an Information Disclosure statement during prosecution. . The court denies these requests. Defendant asks for a new trial due to inconsistent verdicts. For example the jury found some dependent claims infringed but not independent claims. The flawed jury verdict must stand because the 28-day window within which to grant a new trial has passed. The court denied the JMOL motions except for one. The only reasonable inference a jury could draw is that claim 1 of the '091 patent is directly infringed by at least one of defendant's customers. Instead it found no direct infringement. Plaintiff's JMOL motion is granted in this regard. The court declines to issue a permanent injunction finding the balance of hardships clearly weighs strongly against awarding an injunction.

The quest for just the second Constellation Cup clean sweep and a more complete performance, will drive Australia in the final match of the series in Sydney on Saturday.
The Diamonds took an unassailable 3-0 lead in the four-game series with a 55-43 win over New Zealand in Adelaide on Wednesday night.
It was the seventh time in the eight years of the competition they have held the trophy, but only in 2014 were they able to sweep the Silver Ferns.
"We may have won the Constellation Cup now, but we want to finish four-zip and that's what we're going to aim to do," Diamonds' wing attack Liz Watson told NZ Newswire.
New Zealand captain and defender Katrina Grant says motivating her side for game four won"t be hard even though the match was effectively a dead rubber.
"You do not want to go four-nil down," Grant told the Nine network.
"The desire is there for us and we want to win this game."
Diamonds; coach Lisa Alexander says her team needs to lift their game.
"We want more," Alexander said. "This group really wants to perform at its absolute best in Sydney over four quarters."
While Australia won the second and fourth quarters in Adelaide 18-9 and 17-9 respectively, they were outscored 15-8 in the third.
"We just lost our way and went away from our game plan in that third quarter," Alexander said.
She was disappointed Australia had problems bringing the ball out of their defence end after winning precious turnovers.

Andy Cohen is "the Latest Jew Crush"
He's a role model for members for the LGBTQ community, a do gooder and a Bar mitzvah beast: NY Blue Print magazine gives seven reasons to have a Jew crush on Andy Cohen, and we couldn't agree more!
Andy Cohen has in a way become the chief rabbi of entertainment: the 48-year-old, Jewish, television and radio host, producer and author presides over pop culture, sitting at the helm of the "Real Housewives" franchise and many other successful entrepreneurial ventures. He is also like a rabbi in the sense that he offers pearls of wisdom, often cloaked in witticisms and has a practiced hand at mediating conflict (ahem: once again, the "Real Housewives"). Cohen, (full name is Andrew Joseph Cohen), was born and raised in St. Louis, and in a recent video he spoke out against the vandalism at the Jewish cemetery where some of his relatives including his great-grandparents were buried, condemning the attacks.
Seven reasons we have a Jew crush on Andy Cohen:
1. Unstoppable machine. There's a reason Cohen has won an Emmy Award, two Peabody Awards, has been selected as one of Broadcasting & Cable's "Digital All-Stars" and was named one of Multichannel News' "40 Under 40" broadcasting executives. After being at the head of development at Bravo for over 10 years, he now serves as an executive producer of "The Real Housewives" franchise and is currently hosting his eighth season of the late-night talk show "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," which recently celebrated its 1,000th episode. The late night interactive show, which showcases a lit menorah front and center in its clubhouse, has welcomed a slew of famous faces including MOTs Isaac Mizrahi, Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker, Joan Rivers, Bethenny Frankel, Jill Zarin, Jerry Seinfeld, Emmy Rossum, Lisa Kudrow, Frank Drescher, Idina Menzel, Rachel Bloom and Amy Schumer. Each episode features a "Mazel of the Day," in which Cohen gives a shout out to someone deserving of a pat on the back for a good deed.
2. Trailblazer. Cohen is not just an inspiration to those with the gift of gab hankering to host celebrities in his or her own clubhouse one day, he is also a role model for members of the LGBTQ community: he is the first openly gay host of an American late-night talk show.

We can all agree that showing up to the course and seeing that the greens have been aerated isn't a welcome sight. Before you start grumbling about the grounds crew, realize that they aren't psyched to have to do it, either. Removing hundreds of small cylinders of soil makes the course look worse, and temporarily makes sweet-rolling greens a whole lot less sweet. But they do it because they know it's a necessary evil.
The USGA says, "Aeration primarily is performed to control organic matt – i.e, decaying roots and grass stems – relieve soil compaction, stimulate root growth and improve drainage." So basically everything that makes greens good relies on aeration.
If your grounds crew didn't aerate, the ground would hold water after rain instead of being able to drain it. Think about the 2016 PGA Championship at Baltusrol. That first huge rain storm that came through drained out nicely. If the grounds crew had never aerated, the course would've been so wet it would have been unplayable and we could've been looking at a mid-week finish instead of on Sunday.
Aeration saves the turf from itself. Too much organic matter can lead to issues related to how the grass grows. Aerating creates space for roots to grow, making the grass stronger and healthier. It also reduces the chances of disease occurring. If you've ever been at a course where disease has taken hold of the greens, you know how bad it is. With the right weather and the right disease, greens can be lost weeks. Aeration helps keep this nightmare scenario from happening.
If greens were allowed to grow without ever being aerated, they'd be softer. Softer greens would mean more punch marks, which are ugly and damage the grass. But it would also mean it'd be tougher to get the greens faster. No one wants to putt on slow, soft greens that are littered with punch marks.
So, yes: Aeration is annoying and makes for some questionable putting for a few days. But without it, your greens would be a complete mess.

Cleaning the garage can give you more benefits than just a clean space. If done right, it can increase your home's value. No one really thinks about that fact. Very few pay attention to that fact until it has gotten out of control. The clutter has gone from just being a few piles to being a huge conjunction of stuff with few pathways.
You must first decide how you want standard you want to bring your garage. Do you want just enough room to walk? How about enough room to park the car? Maybe even squeeze enough empty space that you can have a work area, if you wish. Any number of these things are possible, through the following steps:
1. For the bigger jobs, don't take on anything without giving yourself something to be proud of. You can separate the portions of the room and choose to take it piece by piece. Either way, when you hit a milestone stop and congratulate yourself for making that far.
2. Try to remove everything from the garage. This may seem more difficult than it really is. No need to try organizing things just yet. The importance of this step is merely to see how much space you want to gain and how much you wish to use.
3. Set up at least 4 different piles. There should be a keep, trash, donate and recycle. The donation could also serve as a sale pile, if you wish to hold a garage sale afterwards. The hardest part of this step, staying true to those piles. You will never get anything done by putting something in the trash, donate or recycle pile and then deciding you want to keep it after all.
4. SLOW! Most people have a cluttered garage because they didn't take the time to put things away. Once the clutter is to a certain point, it's just depressing to think about moving and cleaning it all up. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was that messy. Always give yourself extra time to get everything done. Allow yourself to work at a pace comfortable to you.
Imagine, just following these four steps can get you on your way to organizing the garage. The first step in organizing has been always cleaning and weeding through the junk. Giving a system to all that important, not every piece of trash that may have made its way in there.
With this all in mind, you will be able to see a different space. Somewhere you can walk and trust you aren't going to fall and break an ankle. A secure room to park the car from invaders or weather. Most importantly, with a few additions, you can have more room for stuff than you thought!
Organization is kind of like Tetris. You have to test the space and figure out what will fit to make sure the pile doesn't get too high!

Boston Organics
Boston Organics founder Jeff Barry is addicted to fresh, organic produce. He got the idea living in San Francisco and upon moving back east decided to start a company on his own that offered organic fruits and veggies that were available all the time. Here's how it works: for a weekly or biweekly fee ($25 or $35), Boston Organics delivers to your home a fresh box a fruits and vegetables that are USDA certified organic. You can check online to see what's in the box for the week and it always depends on the season. Also included in each box is a newsletter with recipes, information and storage tips. Now one thing we have to note...is that not all products are grown in Massachusetts, unfortunately, and as much as Jeff wants to support the local farmers, the climate in New England is definitely a factor since this is a year-round business. He notes that in the winter many of the fresh produce comes from Florida and California, but not to worry, it's still organic. We wish this company delivered somewhere other than Boston...c'mon, maybe just a little further south? Thanks for the tip, Peter Y.! ::Boston Organics

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
My steadfast love of audiobooks probably stems from the fact that I was kind of a shitty kid. I spent a lot of time "super grounded." In our house, "super-grounded" meant I was to go straight to my room after school and stay there until the next day — no TV, no phone, no computer, and no music. What I was allowed to have during these dark stretches of wrongful confinement (I'm mostly kidding — hi, mom! I love you! — as previously stated, I was a pretty shitty kid) was my cassette player for books-on-tape only.
I spent days in solitary, working on thousand-piece puzzles and listening to audiobooks from the library. It wasn't terrible.
Now that I'm a grown ass woman, no one can ground me (HA! JUSTICE!), but I still love listening to the 21 century version of books-on-tape — audiobooks. I've never been able to listen to the audio version of a book I haven't read yet (I can read faster than I can speak and if I'm excited about a story, I get very frustrated), but I love to listen to my favorite books while commuting, running errands, and doing chores. My guy and I also pick out one or two audiobooks that we'll both enjoy listening to on our semi-frequent cross-country road-trips. They make the time go by.
That said, I can be picky. I have very high audiobook standards that a book must meet in order to be worth the thirty-odd dollars they cost these days. Here are a few books-on-tape-on-mp3-file that I find myself returning to over and over throughout the years. Click through these favorites or just jump into the comments and tell me what audiobook I should reinstate my audible account to download.
Do you audiobook? Do you rewind your books on tape when you're finished? What side of the heated Jim Dale vs. Stephen Fry Harry Potter debate do you stand on? Let's get to it. #jimdaleforlife

Solia flat irons are some of the most beautiful and desirable on the market today, it is no wonder they are in such high demand. They also include some of the most important features that are desired in a flat iron.
Where some flat irons have become stuck in the stone age, Solia has continued to advance their line of hair care products. Recently they unveiled their line of flat irons that included Tourmaline technology and Dynamic Alignment systems. While that new technology has made hair care easier, it may have confused buyers. We want to make sure you get the best flat iron for your cash, so have included our thoughts with these Solia flat iron reviews. Take a quick look at three of their most impressive models!
Solia Professional Ceramic Ion 1 inch Flat Iron
Without a doubt, this is one of the flat irons that every woman should have in her home. This is a beautifully balanced flat iron that is especially designed for those of us with short and thin hair. It has an incredible temperature variance that really allows for a custom, individual experience. How many times have you had a flat iron that could only work at a few temperature settings, and not one worked with your type of hair. With the Solia Professional Ceramic Ion 1 inch Flat Iron, you are in control of the temperature, and can customize it just for you. No more time left worrying that you will burn or damage your hair.
This 1 inch flat iron is also designed with the new Tourmaline technology. You are guaranteed smooth, silky hair in less time then it would take you with any other flat iron. Unlike so many other irons on the market you no longer have to sacrifice your time for a beautiful look. The Dynamic Alignment System that was introduced for frizz free hair will leave you smiling in the morning. In addition to what it has going on in the interior, the exterior was designed for efficient and carefree handling.
I have to admit something to all of you, I hate to blow dry my hair! It takes up way to much of my time and damages it more than it needs. This unit allows me to keep the blow dryer in the cabinet and go straight to styling. The unique design allows it to be used on wet or towel dried hair. I wish I could tell you this is the perfect flat iron for everyone, but sadly it is not. If you have really long or thick hair, the plates are going to be too small for you. Don't fret too much, because Solia has thought about everyone in their marketing plan!
Solia Professional Ceramic Ion 1-3/4 inch Flat Iron
Once again Solia is on your side, with trying to help you save some precious time. This unit is infused with Tourmaline technology, allowing you a beautiful style without having to spend hours. The unit features a quick heating element, allowing you to style even on those days that you wake up late! The tourmaline allows you to work on your hair, even when it is damp. This is perfect for you ladies who are trying to keep the blow dryers as far away from your hair as possible.
If you want to have healthy looking hair, without the hassles of frizz, this Solia flat iron is up to the task. In fact, it is capable of giving you frizz free hair for up to five days! I think I would have sold my soul to the Devil in the past for that feature! Thankfully the Solia Ceramic flat iron is a much cheaper alternative. This unit is perfect for longer hair, and can't quite handle giving you mega curls or waves.
Solia Pink Limited Edition 1 inch Flat Iron
Who doesn't love to have a little more color in their bathrooms, especially if it is a little more girly? This is perhaps one of my favorite Solia flat irons, due in part to the color. It is the perfect companion for curling, straightening and twisting shorter hair.
One of the features that really stands out on this model is the variable temperature control. There are very few flat irons that have implemented this feature, putting Solia out on the forefront in beauty products once again! The ceramic plates have been designed to give you the perfect amount of heat distribution. You will have a satisfying style, without the constant fear of damaging or burning your hair.
Like so many of the other Solia products, this one is designed to save you a lot of time styling. A word of warning to our readers in other parts of the world, this beauty features a non convertible current setting. If you are in the United States or Canada, you are free to create beautiful styles. If you are outside that region or traveling this Solia may not be the model for you.
We hope that our Solia flat iron reviews will help you make a more informed decision when you go to make you final purchase. These are our top three recommendations however, Solia has a full line available for every hair type and style. They are all high quality products that are more worth their price in gold, when you are trying to find that perfect style.
We would love to know how you found the Solia brand, and if you have a favorite model. Feel free to let us know in the comments below.

Remember Life Magazine? Well, thanks to the powers of Google Search you can now search the Life photo archives from the 1750s to today. Most of these photos were not published, but are now available with a public domain copyright – which means they can be used without any concerns of plagiarism!
This resource great for students who are working on projects or presentations, especially for historical research. For example, students could search the archives for New York City to see images from the city's magical past.
In addition, you can add "source:life" to any Google image search and search only the LIFE photo archive. For example, you might search something like astronaut source:life.

Cayuga County District Attorney John Budelmann has filed three counterclaims against the former assistant district attorney, who Budelmann says betrayed his office and the residents of Cayuga County.
Among the claims, includes the accusation that Jeffrey Domachowski, who was terminated last year for poor performance — worked against taxpayers by coordinating with defense attorney's to get drug cases thrown out.
Budelmann says that Domachowski was hired as a drug prosecutor — but his underhandedness and disloyalty are seen in the emails, which were released on Thursday.
He also says that Domachowski failed to take direction from more experienced prosecutors. Budelmann says that the combined impacts of Domachowski's claims — in addition to the allegations that the justice system in Cayuga County has been corrupted — has resulted in extreme difficulty when it comes to prosecuting new cases.
Budelmann says that after a co-worker and police officer reported Domachowski's unethical behavior to a Grand Jury — he took off from work that day on June 15th, 2016. The District Attorney says that Domachowski knew he was going to be fired.
He then refused to answer the phone, and when Domachowski did finally answer the phone — Budelmann says that a verbal confrontation ensued. According to Budelmann, two other employees heard the phone conversation because it was on speaker phone.
The picture painted by Budelmann and Domachowski are polar opposites.
Both place blame on the other party, but Budelmann called it retaliation when Domachowski went to the Post Standard with intentionally false and baseless claims.
While Domachowski claims the termination took place because he reported Budelmann to various ethics committees for withholding evidence on drug cases.
Budelmann fired back on Thursday, saying again that it was not the case.
The DA added, "In my 24 years as a prosecutor, I have never been accused of withholding evidence from a boss, a co-worker, an employee, members of law enforcement, or a Judge. These allegations were false and unsupported by any facts or evidence."
In fact, Budelmann says that nothing was reported or made official by Domachowski until November 2nd — long after he had allegedly reported the District Attorney.
Speaking to the prospect of withholding evidence, Budelmann added:
"I have never withheld evidence, on any case. I have had an open file policy on drug cases for over 20 years. That policy is well known and has been stated on the record, in open court, countless times. Simply put, that open file policy means defense counsel can come in and review all the evidence against their client, they can even take notes. The only constraint is that they cannot leave with the actual police reports, video and audio recordings unless and until the case goes to trial. This policy was implemented to protect the safety and identity of the confidential informants and the investigative techniques utilized to catch drug dealers."
Budelmann even added that mere days before Domachowski was terminated — he was supporting him at his re-election golf tournament. A photo was provided, which is the one embedded in this story.
The District Attorney didn't stop there though. He accuses Domachowski of unemployment fraud, and says that while working as a defense attorney in Syracuse — he was collecting unemployment benefits from Cayuga County.
That continued for several months in 2016.
This story continues to develop and FingerLakes1.com will have the latest throughout the coming days as more information is obtained.

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Allow me to state the obvious for a second, but Latinas are hot. With their curvy and delicious figures, there's nothing like watching a Latin girl climb on top of you and ride you all night long. That's what makes MeAndMyLatina such a fun site because you get to watch real amateur girls get completely wild, often in the privacy of their homes.
A Great Collection of Amateur Latina Content
If amateur Latinas with big booties, sexy curves and big tits are your thing, you've landed on the right page. Inside you'll be greeted by hundreds of hot amateur girls getting fucked, deep-throating guys and generally getting dirty on camera. At the moment, you're getting over 1,000 videos and photo sets to peruse, with approximately two to three updates arriving weekly.
Good Navigation and User Functionality
Overall, getting around the site is relatively straightforward. The content can be sorted by most recent, most viewed and top rated and all the videos have tags to help you narrow your search. You can also rate and comment on the videos and photo sets and add anything you'd like to a favorites list. The site also has a simple design, but does have a few annoying ads floating around (see cons).
Access To The Entire GF Network
MeAndMyLatina is part of The GF Network, which consists of over 30 amateur-oriented sites and you get access to all of them. Enjoy watching all the babes you can handle on sites like Girlfriend Orgasms, My Lesbo GF, My GF Loves Anal and Squirting GFs. That's nearly 18,000 videos and photo sets of amateur content for you to enjoy.
Other Good Stuff:
Too Many Members' Area Ads
Unfortunately, this is something present throughout the entire network, but this site certainly has more than your average amount. The top, bottom and right-hand side of the pages all have ads. Even when you pause a video, an ad blocks your view and you have to close it before proceeding. It's too intrusive for my liking.
Mostly Average Quality
The majority of the videos and photos are low quality. Now, sometimes average or low quality is what you want when it comes to amateur content. It's really up to personal preference. That being said, some videos look like they were shot with a webcam from the '90s. Luckily, these awful ones are few and far between.
Minor Negatives:
Content that's a little too amateur at moments, but a good site overall.
With an amateur site like this, it's only normal that some of the content is going to be low in quality. The problem comes with the videos that combine terrible camerawork with a low-quality camera. Luckily, I found this doesn't happen enough to make your experience an unpleasant one. If you're a fan of user-submitted amateur porn, then you should check out MeAndMyLatina, especially since you also get access to an entire network of amateur content.

The big day arrived. The Subaru was packed; the ladder stuffed into the rear to ensure we could reach our suitcases piled on top of the car. The long awaited road trip with my daughter, my ex and I was about to begin! Baby Boy in Chicago was about to get a most important visitor, his Grandma! That is, if we make it in one piece, driving across four states in a compact car on a limited budget.
The Ex thoughtfully suggested we might camp along the way. I expected that suggestion long before the trip so I took a preemptive strike with a brand-spanking new credit card in tow, blue color with a chip, and with a cash-back feature. Positively will only use this card on this trip, I told myself, as insurance against having to camp outside along the way. Ask anyone my age if they enjoy sleeping on the ground. There may be someone, but it's not me! Ex does, and he is older than I am!
Just ten minutes into the trip, after settling into the back seat surrounded by purses, blueberries, trail mix, Diet Dr Pepper and piles of other "must-haves" my worst fear came true! My daughter and her dad had conspired against me! Blaring from the front came a slow talking southern drawl something like this: "y'all know he is real". I am being forced against my will to endure days of BIG FOOT stories, I thought. My ex has, for many years, colluded with our five children to believe in Big Foot, UFO's, Sasquatch, and conspiracy theories, all to my annoyance.
I am a nice person. I thoughtfully prepared for this trip, keeping in mind that Ex doesn't like Hawaiian music, "Hawaiian yodeling" he calls it. I had planned to bring my stash of Hawaiian music for my enjoyment on this long car trip but thoughtfully left all my CDs at home, instead bringing only a few Hawaiian tunes on my iPhone. A lot of good it did me to be so thoughtful! I was being bombarded by the thing I hate most; Big Foot stories being told for hours in a slow southern drawl, from a carefully prepared stash of nonsense directed from a tablet through the car speakers. Being the nice person I am, I suffered through twangs, y'alls, fake fears and Sasquatch sightings for about two hours, until I could no longer take it, and finally burst out "please turn it off! I can't take it anymore!"
Leaving Idaho and on to Jackson, Wyoming!….. to be continued……………

He culls these images from popular and commonplace sources—like hip hop posters, neon signs, and store awnings—and reduces them to unrecognizably angular, abstract shapes, rendered in jewel-like monochromatic color. These are typically printed onto backing made from cheap materials, including foam core, photographic paper, Plexiglas, and vinyl; he eschews only the traditional stretched canvases. Rhodes arrived at his practice while earning his MFA at Columbia, where he noticed the awkward visual dynamic between graffiti and corporate marketing in the streets.

She graduated from Windward School in June 2000 and completed the school's community service requirement by working in an LA soup kitchen and at a special education center. Director Jane Campion was looking for a little girl to play a key role in The Piano, set to film in New Zealand, and a newspaper advertisement was run announcing an open audition. When Campion met Paquin–whose only acting experience had been as a skunk in a school play–she was very impressed with the nine-year-old's performance of the monologue about Flora's father, and she was chosen from among the 5000 candidates. She also appeared as a voice in an audio book entitled The Magnificent Nose in 1994. The show is based on The Southern Vampire Mysteries series of novels by Charlaine Harris, set in the fictional town of Bon Temps, LA. Upcoming projects for her in 2012 include Straight A 's, co-starring Ryan Phillippe, and Free Ride with Cam Gigandet.
