 For the past several years, artificial intelligence – or AI – has increasingly found a place in many walks of life.

02:30AM / Tuesday, September 17, 2019 | |
 NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Public Arts Commission got a rundown on the "Big Bling" that's going to be sited at the so-called "Leu lot" this fall. And while the commissioners were supportive of the efforts being made by Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Arts in developing the empty lot into a park to entice its visitors to the downtown, they acknowledged they had no control over the 40-foot by 40-foot installation that's going to be facing Main Street. Or any murals or other artwork that might be proposed on private property in the future. Any previews, such as was provided by Mass MoCA's David Rees and Tracy Moore is purely a 3 Comments

That's because, for the first time, the Coalition held 0 Comments

@theMarket: Investors Discover Value StocksBy Bill Schmick,
05:10PM / Friday, September 13, 2019 | |
 Value stocks, those equities that have fallen out of favor, have made a comeback this week. These underpriced orphans have become the new darlings of Wall Street, while high-flyers (think software and some tech) have sold off. What does this say about the markets? The short answer is that we have more room to run. It means, in my opinion, that we will reach and break historical highs in the U.S. averages and that we should have fairly smooth sailing into October. If, at that point, there are breakthroughs in the trade issue and the Federal Reserve Bank cuts interest rates, we could see the markets continue climbing. If, on the other hand, Trump trashes Chinese exports again and/or 0 Comments
