...Ambient's parameters are limited only by the boundaries of imagination. The common denominator is slapping ads in unexpected places: gas-pump nozzles, supermarket floors, shopping carts, the sides of trucks - even inside golf holes. And technology is giving marketers even more opportunities: interactive TV screens in the backs of taxis, moving 3-D images that can be printed on posters and postcards, machines that produce 3-D holographs of products and logos that seemingly morph into one another and hover in space. Sometimes the forms mix. London agency The Media Vehicle uses 3-D effects to produce cart-stopping...
...Gaza Strip. Moments after the photo was taken, he was killed in the cross fire. Several weeks into the contest, however, a wave of Web surfers, spurred by mass e-mails among Israeli sympathizers, swamped the site with votes for cute-animal photos. (A crippled puppy using a wheeled cart for hind legs took the top spot.) The site canceled the contest last month on the ground that people were voting more than once...

His use of light and shadow rivals many Ansel Adams landscapes. The printmaking is of such high quality that the footsteps and the tracks of the cart Firth was pulling his camera equipment in can be seen snaking through the photograph. In spite of these few photographs made with great artistry, most of the images in display seem to be staged, trite, commercialized depictions of the Middle East...
...Will anything get done? Absolutely not - hearings are for grandstanding, not negotiating (though the two are cart and horse), and the witnesses' main task will be to serve as straight men. After all, with the House vote a few days away (in which they get to see how well Gephardt is able to hold his troops together), they're in no particular hurry - and they've got the numbers to hold this thing up for quite a while...
