I've converted our participation graphs (as seen above) to use Canvas instead of Flash. Linux users rejoice! This means the graphs should load quite a bit faster and not bog down your CPU like the Flash graphs did. I haven't yet implemented the little mouse over bubbles that the old graphs had, but I plan to do that in the future.
You might also be interested to know that I've used my Open Source Friday project to implement these graphs. The project is called Primer and offers a Flash-like layer on top of Canvas that makes it easier to create dynamic and interactive Canvas-based works. It's still very young, but I'll be working on it every Friday and hope to get it to the point where I can redo the impact graphs with it. Enjoy!

(Updated with comment from FanDuel)
Today was a bad news day for fantasy sports giants DraftKings and FanDuel.
Manuel Mendez, a justice for the Supreme Court of the State of New York, granted New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman the injunctions he had been seeking to bar DraftKings and FanDuel from doing business in the state.
"The balancing of the equities are in favor of the NYAG and the State of New York due to their interest in protecting the public, particularly those with gambling addictions," said Mendez. "FanDuel, Inc. and Draftkings, Inc. are only enjoined and restrained in the State of New York, DFS is permitted in other states, and the protection of the general public outweighs any potential loss of business."
On top of that, the Judge also denied FanDuel and DraftKings the right to temporary preliminary injunction and temporary restraining orders, which would have stopped Schneiderman from being able to take action against them.
The reaction to the ruling was quite different from the companies and from the Attorney General, as you might imagine.
"We are disappointed with the Court's decision, and will immediately file an emergency notice of appeal in order to preserve the status quo," David Boies, counsel to DraftKings and Chairman of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP, said in a statement provided to VatorNews. "Daily Fantasy Sports contests have been played legally by New Yorkers for the past seven years and we believe this status quo should be maintained while the litigation plays out."
"We will be appealing -- this is only the beginning of the legal process and, perhaps more importantly, the New York legislature is already moving forward on action to ensure our game remains legal and is regulated, which we strongly support. The court specifically noted that this was not a final determination of the issue and that discovery would be needed to fully resolve the legal question, which we think should be decided in our favor when all of the evidence is in," a spokesperson for FanDuel told Vator.
"New Yorkers have been able to legally play our games for more than six years, and today's preliminary decision was wrong and we expect we will ultimately be successful. A number of issues became very clear in court: first, the outcome of fantasy sports contests are determined by skill, not chance. Second, the Attorney General's argument for season-long fantasy sports being legal does not hold water -- if season-long fantasy is legal, than daily fantasy is legal, and vice-versa. The court was very concerned about this issue, but found the issue of whether the AG was failing to enforce against seasonal fantasy sports was not yet squarely before the court – but it will be. As the court itself noted, FanDuel is permitted in other states, making New York very much an outlier on the issue, as most states are moving towards sensible regulations -- not bans, but the Attorney General decided he knows what is best by denying New Yorkers access to a game they have embraced and shared with friends and family for years. We remain committed to ensuring all fantasy sports are available to New Yorkers, and will work to bring our product back to sports fans around the State through our appeal and working with the legislature to enact sensible regulations for fantasy sports."
"We are pleased with the decision, consistent with our view that DraftKings and FanDuel are operating illegal gambling operations in clear violation of New York law. I have said from the beginning that my job is to enforce the law, and that is what happened today," Schneiderman said in a statement posted to his website on Friday.
It should be noted that Judge Mendez made it clear this is not his final ruling on the matter, only his ruling on the preliminary injunction on whether the companies can operate games in New York today. He stated the case needs to go through the discovery process and only then will he make a final ruling on the legality of fantasy sports in New York under the current law.
FanDuel will be immediately filing an appeal with the Appellate Division on Judge Mendez's ruling on the preliminary injunction, and also seeking a stay of Judge Mendez's preliminary order to allow the company to operate in NY while Judge Mendez moves towards his final ruling.
Schneiderman first went after daily fantasy sports leagues in October, launching an investigation into whether the companies committed fraud after a DraftKings employee named Ethan Haskell inadvertently admitted that he had bet on FanDuel using insider information on NFL lineups before they had been publicly posted. He won $350,000 on the site.
He sent letters to both companies, asking both of them for internal data, as well as details, on how they prevent fraud. He also asked for details on any internal investigations that the companies have done into their employees.
Both companies responded by banning their employees from playing in daily fantasy leagues, along with creating advisory boards to help them sort through legal matters.
That was not enough, however, and in his press release announcing that he was seeking an injunction to stop the two website from operating in the state altogether, Schneiderman said that both FanDuel and DraftKings were "plainly illegal" and "nothing more than a rebranding of sports betting."
New York is not the only state that has chosen to go after these sites, though not as harshly as New York has. The state of Massachusetts, for example, has has proposed regulations for the sites, including restrictions on the age of participants and on advertising, things that both FanDuel and DraftKings haveembraced, likely prefering these types of actions to those that would now allow them to operate at all.

The radio buzz... the top talk radio stories of the day...
That's what's in store for Roger Clemens.
Indicted for lying to congress - 2 years ago -- about his use of performance enhancing drugs.
Clemens facing 6 counts in total:
"One count of obstruction of congress, three counts of providing false statements to congress, and two counts of perjury."
That was sports attorney and agent Rob Romano - speaking with Tony at WHAS.
Clemens denies all allegations and says that he did not lie.
From baseball to the troop draw down in Iraq - the buzz goes on:
With the last US Combat brigade withdrawn from Iraq on Wednesday -- Is the end near - for the seven year - five month conflict?
Steve and Rebecca at KXL wanted to know - what happens if things crumble there? Will we send more troops back?
That question - asked of Major Bob Bevelacqua - a retired US Army Green Beret. His answer - NO.
"We're not going to reinvest any more money. And what's really sad is that we've lost thousands of soldiers and sailors and airmen in Iraq. And if the place does falls apart - I hate to say this - but they really will have died in vain."
The US still has approximately 52,000 troops in Iraq - with that number being trimmed to 50,000 non combat troops by the end of the month.
The non combat troops will train and assist the Iraqi Military.
I'm Jessica Curtis - and that's your talk radio buzz, from Fox News Radio.

Scotts Wright are delighted with two of their young members of staff who have excelled in their recent exams.
Trainee Solicitor John Barker, 31, originally from Askrigg in Wensleydale, but who now lives in Darlington, is based at our Leyburn office and will be well known to clients buying or selling property.
He is nearing the end of his trainee period and will soon be admitted to the rolls as a Solicitor. A former pupil of the Wensleydale School, Leyburn, he read for his LLB (Law) 2.1 degree at Teesside University.
During the past year John has been sitting his Legal Practice Course on a "sandwich" day-release basis and Scotts Wight are delighted to announce that he passed this post-graduate diploma with Distinction.
They are equally delighted to welcome a new trainee to their ranks, Lucinda Watts, who has just celebrated her 21st birthday, from Preston-under-Scar, also in Wensleydale.
Lucinda, also a former pupil of the Wensleydale School, gained work experience with Scotts Wright during holidays while she was reading law at the University of Bradford, graduating this summer with a First Class Honours LLB (Law) degree.
She has been based at our Catterick Garrison office dealing with archives while awaiting the start of her traineeship as a Solicitor. She, like John, will do her post-graduate LPC diploma by day release starting next month.

Germany, to use that as an example of a country with a well developed HPC policy, already committed last year officially to a massive investment programme that would also bring them to exascale, although that in itself is not a goal. This was announced last year by a German government official, Prof. Lucas, during the ISC 2017 Conference. He also said that Germany preferred to work together on the high-end on a European scale, but if that would not work out, Germany would pursue its own HPC goals. Not many conference participants grasped the importance of that announcement.
This year, the details of the German HPC plans were presented at ISC 2018, again in Frankfurt, in a presentation by Michael Resch, Chair of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing. The Gauss Centre is the collaboration of the three largest supercomputer centres in Germany. There is a German Smart Scaling Strategy in place with pre-exascale solutions in 2020 and exascale solutions in 2023. The latter date is the same as the projected date for EuroHPC, so it could be the same system, but that will be decided later. The main German supercomputing funding programme is called SIveGCS, another is called SPPEXA - indeed names that are difficult to remember. PetCGS runs from 2008 to 2019 and has a budget of 400 million euro. SiVeCGS runs from 2017 to 2025 with a 460 million euro budget. A third smaller project called inHPC with 15 million euro budget runs from 2017 to 2021. This is more about connectivity.
As said, Germany is just one country in Europe investing in HPC. And the high-end represented by the Gauss Centre is just the tip of the iceberg in Germany: several individual states have their own HPC programmes as well.
Gauss Centre Chair Michael Resch also explained this in the interview we had with him recently.
Similar stories can be told about other European countries: EuroHPC is a tip of the European HPC iceberg.

We're Getting to Zero
HIV Elimination, Black Gay Men, and Community Involvement
Chicago Black Gay Men's Caucus is excited to help lead Illinois's effort in getting to zero new infections and zero detectability.
Together with our colleagues, we realize the moral imperative of taking action today. Health can't wait.
Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic, gay men of all races have been hounded by a disease that threatened to derail our lives. And while our city and state have made great strides in curbing HIV over the last decade, current data tells us that 1 in 2 Black gay men will contract HIV in our lifetime. I continue to see men in my community diagnosed on a daily basis.
This is an unacceptable crisis.
However, recent years have blessed us with new tools, like Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and testing technology that can detect acute infection (giving us the opportunity to link someone into care at the beginning of their infection, when it can make the most difference).
We also have new scientific revelations, like Treatment as Prevention and Undetectable=Untransmittable, which together tell us that achieving an undetectable viral load is in the best health interests of not only our clients but their intimate partners. Our friends, family, and loved ones deserve access to these tools and knowledge.
We have a new opportunity to stop this epidemic in its tracks and ensure that every hard-working member of our Chicago community achieves the health they deserve.
Of course, as leaders we are merely conduits to ensure that the voices, perspectives, and expertise of our communities are brought to bear on this work. How many of us have been dreaming of an end to this war with HIV? How many of us have clients who tell us every day about the things that get in the way of their health? How many of us have been directly impacted by HIV and know that having a living-wage job or affordable housing had a part to play in that?
You have the ideas that will become winning strategies. Therefore, we are creating regular and frequent opportunities for you, the community, to join in this work. From forums to webinars, interviews to online chats. We will work hard to get to you and keep a seat for you at the table.
So join us and let's work together to Eliminate HIV, Achieve an AIDS-Free Generation, and Get to Zero!

A New York children's hospital recently purchased a a pirate-themed CT scanner to make the medical tests less of a 'horrible, scary chore'.
Child patients lay down on a mock plank which then slides into the scanner, a hoop in the shape of a ship's wheel. Swash-buckling pirate animals decorate the walls to distract the children from the test.
GE provided the scanner to New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, and gave the hospital two choices for a child theme – fish or pirates – sparking a heated debate among the staff.
An exam adventure: A new CT scanner at a New York City children's hospital helps distract patients from the stressful test
Tough choice: The hospital was given two choices for a children's scanner by manufacturer GE, either pirates or fish
Dr Carrie Ruzal-Shapiro, the hospital's chief of pediatric radiology, said the pirates won out because they 'were cute' and the scanner was installed in August.
And so far the reaction has been positive. Registered nurse Naomi Hawkins told Buzzfeed that the best response she's gotten is a patient saying: 'Hurry up and get out so I can play'.
Although the test only lasts a minute, it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get children prepared for the test, which can be stressful.
'It allows children to imagine all sorts of things,' Dr Ruzal-Shapiro told the New York Daily News. 'So it doesn't seem like a horrible scary chore.'
Decision: Dr Carrie Ruzal-Shapiro, head of the pediatric radiology department, said they chose the pirates because they were cute
Not so bad: Dr Ruzal Shapiro said the decor helps make the test a little less of a 'horrible, scary chore'
Prep: The test only takes a minute, but around 10 to 15 minutes to prepare patients for
Procedure: Patients are set up on the table which resembles a plank and are then pushed into scanner in the shape of a ship's wheel
Before the test, nurses get kids settled onto the table and hooked up to an IV. The room's decor helps kids take their mind off the IV and the anxiety of the test.
The children being scanned could be dealing with something as serious as cancer to checking on bone fractures.
The hospital's radiology department conducts about five to 10 scans in the room every day, on patients ranging from infants to 21-year-olds.
'The teens roll their eyes at the cat with the eye-patch and the hippo mermaid,' Dr Ruzal-Shapiro said. 'But they like it as much as the kids.'
Entertained: Imagery of swash-buckling animals like monkeys and tigers adorn the walls to give patients something to look at
Patients: The hospital performs between five and 10 scans a day on patients as young as infants and as old as 21
Different issues: Those getting scanned could be dealing with something as serious as cancer or just a fractured bone
Never too old: While teens roll their eyes at the decorations, Dr Ruzal-Shapiro says that they like it just as much as the younger ones

It all started St. Patrick's Day with a desire to find some Irish music. This lead to an internet search of Irish bands/musicians and a hunger to hear new music. To be fair, it wasn't all new material that I wanted to hear, but that certainly drove the list. As I perused the list, I realized I didn't want just music or styles that I knew, I wanted whatever caught my eye (from a band, song title, or album title standpoint). I formed this St. Paddy's Day Playlist:
Be forewarned, this is just a random playlist of songs – they haven't been edited for a proper mix or for style or for anything else – something simply caught my attention. It's raw and there are things on the list I really like and things I just attribute to the moment.
This reminds me that I never got to do a musical year in review for 2014, which is a shame because there were, in my opinion, some gems. With that in mind, here are some notable 2014 offerings (in no particular order):
Ariel Pink – Pom Pom: Dinosaur Carebears
Beck – Morning Phase – Wave
Brody Dalle – Diploid Love – Carry On
Caribou – Our Love – Can't Do Without You
Future Islands – Singles – Seasons Change (Waiting On You)
Hamilton Leithauser – Black Hours – 11 O'Clock Friday Night
Hundred Waters – The Moon Rang Like A Bell – Chambers (Passing Train)
Lana Del Rey – Ultraviolence – Ultraviolence
The New Pornographers – Brill Bruisers – Brill Bruisers
The War on Drugs – Lost in the Dream – Red Eyes
What Moon Things – What Moon Things – The Astronaut
Wild Beasts – Present Tense – Wanderlust
Feel free to share anything that caught your eye or ear from 2014 or so far in 2015.

Real Lawyers. Real Results.
Losing a loved one under any type of circumstance is difficult to handle, but it's even more difficult if your loved one's death was caused by the negligence of another person. If you've lost a family member due to someone else's negligence, you're likely eligible to receive compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. An experienced wrongful death lawyer can help you determine your legal options.
If you're considering filing a wrongful death claim due to the loss of a loved one, below we provide answers to some of the questions that our clients most frequently ask us.
South Carolina law defines wrongful death as one that is "caused by the wrongful act, neglect, or default of another." The law states that in the case of wrongful death, the at-fault party is liable for the same damages that the deceased would have been eligible to claim through a personal injury lawsuit had he or she survived. A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed by a personal representative of the estate of the deceased.
A wrongful death claim is made on behalf of surviving family members and is based solely on the economic and general damages that they have suffered and will continue to suffer due to the death of their loved one. Wrongful death actions require that the plaintiffs prove that the defendant's negligence caused the death of their loved one. Survival actions, on the other hand, allow the estate of a deceased individual to bring claims for the pain and suffering that he or she experienced due to the injuries that eventually led to death. Damages in a survival action include the cost of medical bills and compensation for conscious pain, suffering, or mental anguish that the deceased experienced prior to death.
Virtually any negligent act under any circumstance that can cause a personal injury to an individual can also cause a wrongful death if the injuries sustained are severe enough. Some of the most common causes of wrongful deaths include:
In South Carolina, the executor or administrator of a decedent's estate can file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the decedent's family members. The executor or administrator may be listed in the deceased's estate plan. If no estate plan exists, then the court may appoint an administrator. The family members that may be eligible for compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit include:
The success of a wrongful death claim in South Carolina hinges on a plaintiff's ability to prove all of the following:
Under South Carolina law, the executor or administrator of a decedent's estate must file any wrongful death claim within three years from the date of the deceased individual's death. If the death occurred at a state or county medical facility, then the wrongful death claim must be filed within two years after the date of death.
You may seek to recover the following types of damages through a wrongful death claim:
If the at-fault party wishes to settle your wrongful death claim outside of court, you and your experienced wrongful death attorney should carefully consider the settlement offer in relation to the damages that you've suffered prior to accepting. If you both determine that the settlement amount is fair, you may want to agree to the terms, avoid litigation, and move on with your life. However, the court will still need to review and approve the settlement at a court hearing.
Damage amounts recovered through a wrongful death claim are not taxable by the IRS. Furthermore, if the settlement or award is paid out by a business, that business cannot deduct the amount as a business expense.
The laws pertaining to wrongful death are complicated and fraught with deadlines and strict procedural requirements. While you could attempt to file a wrongful death claim on your own, hiring an attorney who is well-versed in these laws is your best chance to maximize your compensation.
Yes. Both parties have a right to appeal the outcome of a wrongful death case.
If you're looking for an attorney to assist you in your wrongful death claim, you should ensure that the attorney has the following:
South Carolina law allows for the legal pursuit of damages incurred through wrongful death. However, only the administrator or executor of the deceased's estate, on behalf of certain family members, may file a wrongful death claim. By law, the administrator or executor must file any wrongful death claim within three years from the date of the deceased person's death. The family members who are eligible to receive compensation through a successful wrongful death suit include:
Compensation for the following types of damages may be sought through a wrongful death lawsuit:
Virtually any type of negligent or reckless act that results in a person's death can become the subject of a wrongful death lawsuit. Some common examples include:
The following news stories provide two examples of Charleston wrongful death lawsuits:
Attorneys Nathan Hughey and Stuart Hudson of the Hughey Law Firm work with wrongful death cases throughout South Carolina that result from nursing home abuse, car accidents, construction site accidents, and other accidents that involve the negligence of another person. Additionally, attorney Nathan Hughey lectures about and teaches nursing home litigation and regulations. Due to this significant expertise, other law firms throughout the state often retain him to assist them in wrongful death and nursing home litigation.

According to World Health Organisation (WHO), breast cancer is the one of the most common cancers affecting women across the globe today. The rate of breast cancer is expanding, particularly in the developing countries, and this has much to do with unhealthy lifestyle habits. Although there are a few measures one can take to prevent the risk of breast cancer, but in most cases it is diagnosed in the later stages, when there's very less one can do to treat it. Therefore, early diagnosis still remains the foundation of breast cancer control.
Breast cancer is a form of cancer that develops from the breast tissues. Usually, it either begins in the cells of the lobules, which are the milk-producing glands, or the ducts, the passages that drain milk from the lobules to the areola. Over time, cancer cells can invade nearby healthy breast tissue and make their way into the underarm lymph nodes, which play a vital role in filtering out foreign substances in the body. If cancer cells get into the lymph nodes, they then have a pathway into other parts of the body. The different breast cancer stages refer to how far the cancer cells have spread from the original tumor.

An all optical BEC apparatus for the investigation of magnetic order in spinor atomic gases in ultralow magnetic fields
Hughes, Joshua Alan
MetadataShow full item record
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of spinor atomic gases have become powerful tools in quantum simulation experiments. Quantum magnetism, in particular, is a field of study that is difficult to simulate in the solid state but is readily accessible in BECs. However, there are still many quantum magnetic effects predicted to occur in spinor BECs that have yet to be observed in the laboratory. This is due to the presence of typical background magnetic fields which are sufficiently large to suppress these predicted phenomena. We have designed and built an apparatus to test a wide range of quantum magnetism parameters in the ultralow field regime. We use a two chamber ultra-high vacuum apparatus to precool atoms in a vapor cell magneto-optical trap and transfer the atoms into an ultra high vacuum magneto-optical trap, where they are efficiently loaded into a tightly confining, large volume optical dipole trap. The dipole trap will eventually be used to realize an all-optical BEC located inside a multi-layer mu-metal shield that reduces the background magnetic field to below 10^-6 Gauss around the condensate region while still allowing good optical access for imaging and measurements. We have performed measurements of microwave-driven Rabi oscillations in the dipole trap to test the feasibility of ultralow magnetic field measurements inside the magnetic shield. We have also developed a method to dynamically control the aspect ratio of the BEC using a crossed beam dipole trap configuration we call a ``scissor trap'.

Photographer's Note
I was lucky enough to spend a few days on Easter Island last year on my passage from New Zealand to South America.... (see my travelogue)

Magic shot ;o)
The statue is ghostly !
TheDunno (1030) 2003-07-07 7:40
Oh, how i envy you for having been to Rapa Nui; one of my dream destinations.
I love the shot too. Composition and atmosphere.
Have any more? Please post! Post!
AndyMcK (131) 2003-07-07 7:44
Nice shot, but I would have preffered the statue closer to the brighter section of the sky for more contrast
gringofil (0) 2003-07-07 8:11
Incredible shot! Yes, Easter Island is on my list as well. Maybe someday, when I get tired of Asia, I'll make my way down there. As for the image: very well done. My only comment would be to do a little cropping here. First from the bottom and a little, not much, from the sides. I posted a Workshop to show you what I mean. Well done, though. And, if you have more, post them!
thien (2112) 2003-07-07 9:51
Easter Island, now that's a travel destination. Lovely shot. Fil cropping just brings out mystical quality of the island. Very well done.

A marvelous contrast between the sky's hues and the statue. What a remote place to visit!

Morning Piotr
This is a rare shot, pal. Rapa Nui. Haven't come across such shot in TE.
Well, have only seen this in the movie by Kevin Costner of the same title, Rapa Nui.
Cool sunset. And having the statue in the image provided pretty interesting silhoutte.
Congrats, Piotr and hope to see more of your Rapa Nui's image.

Hello Piotr.
Very different from the usual shots of the moais. Love the composition and the light.

Why It Matters
Holding charities to high standards
Stricter guidelines to improve the governance of charities have been proposed, and the public consultation started last week.
The proposals include guidelines on disclosure of information - such as board members' attendance at board meetings and the pay of a charity's three highest-paid staff - as well as term limits of board members and the setting up of whistle-blowing policies.
Some of the guidelines currently apply to larger charities but will be extended to cover almost all charities, except very small ones.
The proposed changes come at a time when the charity sector is growing: There were 2,217 charities last year, up from 1,875 a decade ago. As for donations, the latest figures show that they rose to $2.5 billion in 2014, up from $1.8 billion in 2009.
With more donations, charities may become complacent in ensuring good governance, but this must not happen. Local surveys have shown that every scandal is followed by a drop in donations, not just to the charity involved but to the whole sector.
The tweaks to the code will, hopefully, spur charities to ensure that their resources are used legitimately and to be accountable to the public.
Good governance is not just about ensuring that money is not misappropriated, but also about effectiveness and working towards making a bigger impact. As the charity sector grows, there will be more competition for donations, volunteers and board members. Setting a 10-year term limit for two-thirds of the board members could lead to new members giving fresh insights, but could also be operationally disruptive.
This proposed guideline may be tweaked after the consultation but, at the very least, charities will likely have to pay more attention to how impactful they are, so this also helps them attract new board members.
To be sure, the code of governance is a set of guidelines, not laws. But rather than the Government increasing regulation of charities, corporate and individual donors should practise more informed giving and hold charities to high standards.

NEW YORK--Maybe Gail Whitcomb, the spokeswoman for CompuServe (CSRV), said it best: "We don't really care how people get it. We just want them to get it." It, of course, is access to the Internet.
Whitcomb spoke for a lot of content providers here on the opening of the three-day Jupiter Communications Consumer Online Services conference, which focused on the emerging market of non-PC devices for getting on the Net. The bottom line: It will take a while for this market to make any dent in PC sales.
Jupiter released a report today predicting that as U.S. households continue to get wired, these "non-PC devices"--especially those that allow people to view the Web through their television sets--will become increasingly popular. But they won't storm the market overnight.
In fact, it will take several years for Web-based TVs to become popular. That somewhat pessimistic finding, if true, comes as a harsh bit of data in an industry that measures itself in hours and days rather than months and years.
The report predicts that it will take until the year 2002 for TV-based access devices to have real market share--that is, 12.7 million households, or 22 percent of the consumer online market, using Net TVs.
The report also throws cold water on the idea that these appliances will replace PCs for Net access. According to Jupiter's research, the market for Net TVs will grow slowly because many people will keep their PCs for email and Web browsing.
That sobering news runs contrary to what Steve Perlman, president and chief executive of industry pioneer WebTV, reported during his keynote address.
According to statistics collected by his company, which has only been selling WebTVs for five months (over 25,000 units were sold in the first two months and more than 50,000 are in circulation now), the markets for PC and Web TV users hardly overlap. In fact, he stressed, people who surf the Web using a TV want decidedly different things than those who surf the Web from their desktops using a PC.
"People do different things in the living room in front of a TV than they do in front of a computer," he said. WebTV owners tend to surf in groups and tend to be looking for entertainment on the Net. In fact, Perlman said he was surprised to hear from sites such as E! Online and Mattel's Barbie, saying WebTV was showing up as one of their top domain names.
PC owners, on the other hand, tend to surf alone and seek information. They also tend to be more patient about getting their information. Those using TVs to get to the Web expect the Web to be delivered as quickly as a TV show.
But while Perlman and Jupiter disagree on the WebTV audience, they do agree on another of the Jupiter study's conclusion: Web televisions will take a while to catch on.
This may be true for many new consumer products as well. Kamran Elahian, CEO of PlanetWeb, a Silicon Valley start-up that develops software for Web devices, says that he started four companies, three of which were quite successful. The fourth, a pen-based business, was a $40 million mistake. "What I learned from that was to create a new consumer category of any type, it takes a long time for that to happen," he said.
If anyone's rooting for the new devices to make it, it's content providers for whom the bottom line couldn't be clearer. As Whitcomb and a host of others reiterate, the most important thing is that people somehow get on the Net and to Web sites.
Companies like Visionary Media, which today introduced a superhero Web site, WhirlGirl, are counting on it.
"I think we're all trying to do the same thing," said David Williams, president of Visionary. "We're trying to find a new way into people's living rooms."

Creation Date
watercolor and ink on paper
Dimensions: 29.5 x 22 inches
Artist Statement
As an artist it has been my goal to continue with traditional mediums in a growing digital era. My ultimate goal is to be creating my own graphic novels that will be hand drawn and painted instead of digitally colored. The only digital part will be scanning the pieces so that there can be multiple prints. The pieces on display are a hint into that idea where it exhibits a storyline through paneling, but all the art is hand done.
All three of these panels depict actual parts of a story that takes place on an island called Alargia. Each panel has no words and the story is meant to be semi-ambiguous to allow the viewer to decide what is happening. The first panel is about the Saria and Kaelic's first meeting where they make an instant connection. The second panel is about Kaelic's connection with nature and more specifically the wolf spirit. The last panel is about Nelemias' death where he saves a child from a horde of monsters. The three pieces shown are a small glimpse into the world of Alargia and the characters readers will meet.
Although the actual graphic novel will be more traditional with paneling and will contain words, these are an experiment on how finished products look traditionally painted and an introduction to the world of Alargia.
