Sorry, I'm one of those Facebook averse types.
I think you misunderstand what Creative Commons licenses are for. They are public licenses intended for allowing everyone to redistribute a work. Now, it might be that you want to let your readers copy the map freely, but I don't think that's what you're after. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ is more typical of "I want my fans to play with it" type licensing.
So what I think you mean is that you (or more precisely your wife) want license to copy without royalties it but not make changes. That's pretty typical for commissions like this. Keep in mind that it means that if you want to make a new map or make any changes, you have to either get a new license to do so, or go back to your source material and ignore the first map.
With all that out of the way I'd be interested. My style is somewhat different from what you linked to but I favour clear black and white which works well in print and on e-readers. You can see examples at these pages: http://www.cartographersguild.com/album.php?u=9958 http://draconic.ca/portfolio/ http://hai-etlik.deviantart.com/gallery/10457186

35 U.S. Code § 209 - Licensing federally owned inventions
prev | next
(a) Authority.— A Federal agency may grant an exclusive or partially exclusive license on a federally owned invention under section 207 (a)(2) only if—
(1) granting the license is a reasonable and necessary incentive to—
(A) call forth the investment capital and expenditures needed to bring the invention to practical application; or
(2) the Federal agency finds that the public will be served by the granting of the license, as indicated by the applicant's intentions, plans, and ability to bring the invention to practical application or otherwise promote the invention's utilization by the public, and that the proposed scope of exclusivity is not greater than reasonably necessary to provide the incentive for bringing the invention to practical application, as proposed by the applicant, or otherwise to promote the invention's utilization by the public;
(3) the applicant makes a commitment to achieve practical application of the invention within a reasonable time, which time may be extended by the agency upon the applicant's request and the applicant's demonstration that the refusal of such extension would be unreasonable;
(4) granting the license will not tend to substantially lessen competition or create or maintain a violation of the Federal antitrust laws; and
(b) Manufacture in United States.— A Federal agency shall normally grant a license under section 207 (a)(2) to use or sell any federally owned invention in the United States only to a licensee who agrees that any products embodying the invention or produced through the use of the invention will be manufactured substantially in the United States.
(c) Small Business.— First preference for the granting of any exclusive or partially exclusive licenses under section 207 (a)(2) shall be given to small business firms having equal or greater likelihood as other applicants to bring the invention to practical application within a reasonable time.
(d) Terms and Conditions.— Any licenses granted under section 207 (a)(2) shall contain such terms and conditions as the granting agency considers appropriate, and shall include provisions—
(1) retaining a nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license for any Federal agency to practice the invention or have the invention practiced throughout the world by or on behalf of the Government of the United States;
(2) requiring periodic reporting on utilization of the invention, and utilization efforts, by the licensee, but only to the extent necessary to enable the Federal agency to determine whether the terms of the license are being complied with, except that any such report shall be treated by the Federal agency as commercial and financial information obtained from a person and privileged and confidential and not subject to disclosure under section 552 of title 5; and
(3) empowering the Federal agency to terminate the license in whole or in part if the agency determines that—
(A) the licensee is not executing its commitment to achieve practical application of the invention, including commitments contained in any plan submitted in support of its request for a license, and the licensee cannot otherwise demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Federal agency that it has taken, or can be expected to take within a reasonable time, effective steps to achieve practical application of the invention;
(C) termination is necessary to meet requirements for public use specified by Federal regulations issued after the date of the license, and such requirements are not reasonably satisfied by the licensee; or
(e) Public Notice.— No exclusive or partially exclusive license may be granted under section 207 (a)(2) unless public notice of the intention to grant an exclusive or partially exclusive license on a federally owned invention has been provided in an appropriate manner at least 15 days before the license is granted, and the Federal agency has considered all comments received before the end of the comment period in response to that public notice. This subsection shall not apply to the licensing of inventions made under a cooperative research and development agreement entered into under section 12 of the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 (15 U.S.C. 3710a).
(f) Plan.— No Federal agency shall grant any license under a patent or patent application on a federally owned invention unless the person requesting the license has supplied the agency with a plan for development or marketing of the invention, except that any such plan shall be treated by the Federal agency as commercial and financial information obtained from a person and privileged and confidential and not subject to disclosure under section 552 of title 5.

I wish there was as much momentum against the dangerously invasive 'patriot act' (in the USA) as there is for FB's Timeline. I'm stunned how much resistance and hate there is for a graphical design choice, while important issues are ignored. That's really all I can say about this subject.
Facebook has updated the way photos are presented in the timeline section of users' profiles - devoting more page space to the images and making it easier to give some images prominence. The result is an awful lot like the Google+ gallery view, and the Flickr interface for viewing contacts' images but appears to crop all images to square format. The Facebook update gives the ability to 'highlight' specific images (making them four times larger) but doesn't just present your own images - images with you tagged in them will be intermingled with your own shots, so it's not an optimal way to showcase your photography, unless you ruthlessly de-tag yourself from other peoples' photos.
The company says it is rolling the changes out to user profiles but gives no timescale for how long it will take to apply to all accounts.
Press Release:
A More Beautiful View of Photos
Today we're announcing improvements to the photos section that make viewing photos more enjoyable.
See bigger photos
Now when you click Photos at the top of your timeline, you'll see larger pictures that fill up the page. You can use the menu to find shots you're tagged in, pictures you've shared and albums you've created.
|Facebook will devote more of its photo page to the images themseleves
Showcase photos you like
With your Facebook photos all in one section, it's simple to show friends your favorites. Click the star button to make important photos stand out.
|Individual images can be selected so they appear larger.

Don't like Facebook. They are into collecting -- and in a way stealing -- your stuff under the guise of being social.
On the other hand I like Dpr because (for the most part) the contributors add value in shared social pursuits.
But if you still think Facebook is good for something, sell their stock short.
Mine doesn't look anything like this. Is this something that is now in place or something they'd like to have?
Proof that photogs hate facebook - DP Review one of the biggest photog gear websites DOES NOT HAVE A FACEBOOK like button in the "Share" tab above!
Really just shows their marketing department isn't interested in exposure or driving traffic. Makes me wonder what other revenue generating opportunities they are ignoring. Revenues that could be put towards improving content and fixing the clunky UI of this site.
Not true. There is in fact a "FB Like" button, at least when I am looking at it. Besides, DPR has a FB account is is active on FB.
Well it doesnt show up on THIS article. I know there is a like button on the pics for example.
Actually, it does. You must have it blocked somehow. Maybe through a Chrome extension?
I ruthlessly remove any image tags that identify me in a photo.
I see no difference in any difference on my page. The ineptness of FB to showcase photos is amazing. Highlight shows only part of the photograph. They simply are not doing much right and this extends from harassing member with phone calls to sell advertiosing to pages that change constantly, to software that dramtically changes the appearnace of photos. If a change is being made, it hasn't aoccured yet.
In addition, they encourage participants to make new friends and punish you for doing so, never respond to help requests or repsond to questions about suspensions. What investors need to know is that FB is filled mainly with people posting saying that explain how easy life is if only . . there are exceptions. For a photographer, Facebook is just a big billboard and I see no changes in what they are doing
any copyright protection yet for the posters of these 'photos'... from fb ...worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook
A website has to license your IP so that it can legitimately make your images visible to other web users. Sometimes (and I haven't read Facebook's T&C recently) the standard agreement required to allow your images to be shown across the web ends up looking very scary, when all it actually means is 'we need permission to reproduce your images across lots of servers.'
I think it all depends on what you want to do with your photos. Most of my friends and family are on Facebook, so it is much easier to post photos for there for them to see. They could give a rats behind about compression, or any supposed 'lack of quality'. They just want to see pictures, They don't want to wait forever for pbase to load, or to navigate Flickrs crappy UI. To 99% of the public, photos on Facebook look just fine.
Now, if you are a pro and want to share your photos, why wouldnt you have your own site? Nothing says 'amateur' like "hey, check out my amazing professional photos on pBase".
> Nothing says 'amateur' like "hey, check out my amazing
> professional photos on pBase".
Totally disagree.
Sorry Kim, the photos are nice but the web page layouts are so wretched. No margins? Center-aligned Helvetica. Ughh...
PBase was sort of able to hold its own through Flickr and even Facebook, but now that everyone's seen photos showcased spectacularly well on 500px, LiveBooks, Google Plus, and nice Wordpress templates, PBase looks as frozen-in-1999 as ever. And I'm not talking about glitz, just basic aesthetics that would not be ignored by any designer of a photo book. Why should we have lower presentation standards just because it's on a screen?
Soon, Facebook will only be relevant in the third world countries, just like Blackberry.
WOW, you couldnt have said it better. I am from Trinidad. I hate when my photos appear on fucebook. But you know what here everyone is on facebook and everyone uses blackberry, the more uppity one use an iphone with almost NO android proliferation. And we are a thirdworld country. But most of the world is thirdworld.
I can't find this anywhere. I only see the old layout.
I would like to see Facebook using the position information in the uploaded pictures, so we didn't have to place them on the map ourselves. I am really surprised this isn't in there already.
I tried to place a picture on the map in Facebook, and it was so horribly difficult that I am not going to do that again.
I appreciate improvements in Facebook, but I think they're moving too slowly forward.
It sounds like they are doing what Flickr is having trouble with, having a community based photo-sharing service. The only (big) trouble is the photos on Flickr are at least trying to be better... but my friends etc aren't there and thus can't comment. Win to Facebook for thinking out of the box. Not so sure it's a win for photography.
The site that really has it right in many ways, despite their small resolution imagery, is Instagram. Easy to view, easy to respond, easy to share and hard to swamp it with pointless uploads.
I just got back from a trip where I took TONS of photos, got some great landscapes out of it. Know where I parked them? On PBase. I have WAY more control over its presentation, I don't get people griping about photos I post of them that get "tagged," I was able to upload many at once via the use of ZIP files, and if I leave Facebook they're still all there. I've used their site since 2004, in fact.
Funny: it seems to me Facebook didn't event photo-sharing & that there are PLENTY of places to post your photos besides Facebook, although fewer & fewer people believe or realize it. If no one bothers to look at them, that's on them, they're there and easy to see. I don't need Facebook for that.
I also use (well mostly used) Pbase, and much prefer it's presentation. The only things I don't like are it's massive size makes it hard to connect with other users and it's antiquated tools. No-one else does albums as well, though, making too much of your latest uploads.
And aside form the small fact that FACEBOOK OWNS your images. Just another reason I don't participate with facebook!!!!!!!!
funny how their stock offerings are going south fast
how does fb handle 'share' from a site that is copyrighted....
Can you support that claim?
Les Facebook does not own your photographs. If you think they do you misunderstand their terms and conditions.
You send me to Flickr and I will not look at your images. Horrible viewer experience.
FB is the very LAST place I want to take people to in order to share my photos. If I meet a client and want to share my photo hobby with them, I send them over to Flickr which is a far superior experience, and dedicated only to photos and not a junky timeline history of my late night activities.
Timeline® will be rolled out to every FB user by November, or earlier.
Never have and Never will visit Facebook for any reason whatsoever! If you like the government knowing everything you say or do be my guest....A sucker and a fool is born every second!
They are on to you just from this post!
Really, in most reasonably free countries, the govt has to get permission from the courts to read your facebook data. They could get your bank statements, email account, phone history, traffic logs from your ISP the same way. If you do something to warrant being a significant suspect, staying away from facebook is probably not going to save you.
What I'd be worried about is which companies are buying it from facebook.
The government? Really? Any computer literate person could find your ISP and a ton of other stuff about you in about 5 minutes just based on your post on this site. A sucker and a fool posts on this site every second apparently.
So where is tkbslc from then Goob, and which ISP does he use?
Paranoid much?
Gotta sell more facial recognition logs of where and who people hang out with to .gov. And yes, Facebook does do this.
Roughly 300 million photos are uploaded to Facebook every day, so obviously some people like using it.
Said the wife looking at all the empty chairs in the funeral parlor:
"I don't understand it. He had 2000 Facebook friends."
Facebook shot up like a rocket and what goes up must and will come down.
Better to stick with dedicated sites like DP Review, Flicker, 500 PX and Smugmug to mention a few.
Love fb ! It's the reason I got back into photography! I shoot photos for people just to put on fb. Way to go!
Don't forget, once you post a photo to Facebook it becomes their property. You may delete it, but FB has already copied it and added it to their database.
I don't like Facebook, but that's a gross oversimplification of their updated TOS. (Most "Facebook panic" posts are about the old TOS.) Nowhere in their current TOS does it say they own your work. In fact, it specifically says you retain ownership. What they ask for is a nonexclusive license, which is also the case at most other sites where you post photos.
The only thing up for debate is whether Facebook's requested license is too broad. That is fair. And many think Facebook does ask for more rights than other sites. But for you to say they own your work is unfair, based on the legal facts.
Thanks for the clarification, graybalanced.
Facebook doesn't get anymore rights than smugmug, flickr or any other photo site. You have to give them rights so they can put it on their website and store it on their server without violating copyright law.
Doesn't FB get the license to use and sell to any 3rd party and to extend these rights to those 3rd parties?
@tkbslc: Sorry, you are quite wrong! Facebook grants themselves the right to sub-license without any monetary redemption to the copyright owner. - So be happy to have your image show up in advertising for anything - even things that go against every grain of your belief!
I solve this buy posting pictures with a watermark, If facebook have rights on the picture, it only applies to the one with the watermark? I belive.
Karl Gnter Wnsch your understanding of facebook T&C is incorrect.
nicolas guilbert those watermarks have been known to be removed by national newspapers before.
Karl Gnter Wnsch one reason they sub-license is, as an example, when they have to handle global expansion by hiring a vendor to help out with server capacity (like how many companies outsource to Amazon S3), they don't have to come to all 1 billion users asking for permission to extend their photo license to every new vendor needed. Are user photos actually turning up in Facebook ads? Does Facebook even run any ads? (other than ad space bought on Facebook)
@graybalanced, sorry, but sublicensing doesn't mean that, they grant themselves a irrevocable right to sublicense as they see fit. This includes sublicensing your photos to porn sites, mcdonalds or whoever pays enough to them!
They are shoving their final dose of Timeline down everyone's throats.
It sucks rotten eggs but they are doing it for add space.
This is probably just a way to divert the timeline hate...
I'm still timeline free, amazingly.
Me too :-)
I used a little ad-on called social fixer to remove my timeline. Had already been given timeline by fb. But managed to remove it with social fixer.
Well, there is still 500px and Flickr.. not mentioning DPreview has its own gallery.
Facebook is thing that I avoid for photos, if I wanted to cripple anything I take then I can use instagram. :D
Facialbook, is that the site where you can make new and exciting friends with a single click on your mouse?
Does that mean they're fixing their TERRIBLE jpg compression as well?
Horrid, horrid things it does to colors.
It really is like going to the "add noise" filter in photoshop, and moving the slider all the way to the right. This effect is even more pronounced when attaching a pic via private message to a client that wants a quick preview. Did that once. wont happen again.
Their compression is seemingly: max compression, just the right amount of downsizing to make lots of jaggies, and a bit of a pop in orange- just to make skin tones look weird.
Square crop (which does't fit any of my images), mingling in idiotic snapshots from other users, giving them the rights to sublicense the images you upload - sorry but which photographer with a sane mind would ever upload a single photo onto that %&%@&)-site?
I know a lot of small-time photogs earning good rates locally by posting samples of their work on FB. With their work more easily viewable and reachable they tend to get hired also more frequently. But then again, they're not big names...
Of all the places I've put up my photos to, FB has been the most useful, I hate the site for all the reasons said here, but just by putting up my good shots I got loooaadds of response. Not a few months later I'm getting people I never met asking if I'd shoot for them, now I'm shooting weddings, and I never said I'd do them!
So... slow news day at DPReview, eh?
Wow, fancy new outfit. Is there finally a way to manually choose your own square crops from the non-square photos?
There is in fact a "Reposition photo" control on the Timeline which is Facebook-talk for adjusting the square crop.
? ... lot of my "friends" are clients, or potential clients ... so any exposure is good exposure!
I love FB. I don't use it but I love it. Since their stock has gone down the toilet, I have made some nice money shorting the stock. Won't be long before it gets to 50% of the IPO price.
So please, feel free to talk about it all you want to. :)
Got rid of my account ages ago... i bet they still have all my photos, posts, etc.
Please, for the love of mercy, no more about facebook...
Fair enough - I'm sure none of our readers use it, so won't be interested in how it presents their photos.
Thanks! I am sure they won't mind, or they will get over it! ;)
Indeed. Is there another way to users to avoid this new layout? So, why bitch about it? Why post something about it? The only choice is to deactivate our accounts or close the DPR tab.
It's funny, I just activated this account literally this morning ... (been lurking for rather a while though) and, lo and behold, the very first new story to crop up ... essentially an ad for farcebook.
I posted here to express my displeasure about how focus is being taken away from gear reviewing, and being devoted regrettably towards covering the latest asinine social media trends. Now, if there were to be more articles about pros in the field, or interviews with the camera makers, I'd be all for it ... Refer to me as a bitch if you like, I'll consider it a compliment.
Is there a way to CC- license your own photos that are uploaded to FB? I just don't like the idea that they get property of FB.
No. All content uploaded to FB gives them the right to do whatever they want with it. It's in their T&C's. That's why I don't upload there. Problem solved.
No, there is no way to keep them from exploiting your images as if they were their own - wouldn't you be proud to find your images promoting anything you hate?
How ironic that this post has 10 Likes.
I don't see the irony. Facebook didn't invent the "like" / "thumbs up" button. And if gajillions of people mob and latch onto something, that does not make the entity in question any more worthy or impressive in my eyes than a the lesser/un-hyped entities. Groupthink mentality is my kryptonite ...
Yes, thank heavens for DPReview, where 'professionals' can post pictures of their cats and proclaim "C&C encouraged", only to be shot down by the other 'pros' that this "is a gear site only".
At least on Facebook people will pretend to 'Like' your awful photos.
An excerpt from the article: "What it means: Facebook can use your photos as long as you have them posted up, but they cannot sell or license them to third parties or do whatever they want with them in perpetuity."
So no, they do not own your photos nor can they do whatever they want.
@ tonywong...
there is nothing ironic about it. It is just people voting with their mouse clicks.
And it sure looks like more people agree with Camediadude than agree with you.
Why is this even considered News?

LAUREL, Md. (WUSA) -- Prince George's County held a gun buy back program on Saturday, coincidentally just 24 hours after the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.
Prince George's County Police, The NAACP and Prince George's County Youth Strategies Division held 'Gift Cards for Guns' at St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Laurel.
The school tragedy has brought gun control to the forefront of people's minds and moved some people to give up their guns Saturday.
Cindy Parker is turning in three rifles. Like most Americans she's heartbroken over the Newtown elementary school shooting.
"I'm going to do it today, get these out of my home, I didn't want them there. This morning it was heavy on my mind. My first thought was let me be one to get rid of guns that were in my home."
Major Ray Gordon, Prince George's Co Police "We're hoping individuals see the weapons they have in their home, that they really don't need and if they want to get rid of them and we give them an incentive to get rid of the weapons."
From the Major to the mayor, gun control is a topic of conversation.
Laurel Mayor Craig Moe, "I think we need sensible hand gun control. I'm not a hunter. I don't have a gun, but I'm a common sense person. We need to discuss it. Come to the table and come up with a good compromise."
Major Gordon, "As a major in Prince George's County we rather not have weapons in their homes and on the street. We don't want those incidents in our back yard."
Dozens of guns are now off the streets including rifles, shot guns, revolvers and semiautomatics.
160 guns were collected in exchange for a gift card of up to $100 per gun.
Major Ray Gordon, Prince George's Co." People need to look over their homes and what they have. Everyone wants to protect themselves and weapons make them feel safe but people use weapons in the spur of the moment in an argument and you can't take back in the heat of the moment. Once that bullet leaves there's no stopping it. We're hoping getting rid of the weapon will help overall. As far as what's going to happen with government and the laws, I don't know where that's going to go."
Parker, 'Especially with the tragedy, it's a sad situation something needs to be done about it."
Most of the guns will be melted and destroyed. This was the third such gun buy back in Prince George's County this year.

This Monday is President's Day; the day to celebrate our past and present leaders. We have had a wide variety of presidents in our time; military leaders, celebrities, and political activists. These leaders influence us and represent us as a country. Our country has many different backgrounds and cultures to influence us in our daily lives. Holiday weekends are a great time to celebrate a special wedding. Patriotic themes and military weddings often use red white and blue wedding colors. President's Day weekend is the perfect time to throw a military theme wedding with bright patriotic colors and Americana decor.

These red white and blue decoration ideas can be used for President's Day party or a block party get-together. Use red white and blue decor for President's Day, Fourth of July or military themed weddings. Decorate with American hero cupcake wrappers and a root beer float dessert buffet. Red streamers and white tissue paper pom poms create an Americana theme. Create a military theme using American flags, stars and stripes and other patriotic decor.

May's Beautifly was the first Pokémon May ever caught, initially as a Wurmple.
May first met a Beautifly belonging to Janet, a Coordinator who inspired May to participate in Pokémon Contests. Wanting to have a Beautifly of her own, she uses her Torchic to battle against a wild Wurmple and catches her first Pokémon. Jessie also catches a Wurmple at the time.
In the episode A Corphish Out of Water, May's Wurmple evolved into a Silcoon while battling against Jessie's Wurmple after it evolved into a Cascoon. Soon after, May's Silcoon evolved into a Beautifly while battling Jessie's Cascoon. Later, Jessie's Cascoon evolves into a Dustox.
Since then, May has used Beautifly in multiple contests as well as a PokeRinger competition, where she lost to Jessie Dustox while being used by James. She was used in the Hoenn Grand Festival, where she was used in the Appeal Round, scoring pretty highly with just a single Silver Wind. After losing in the Grand Festival to Drew, she heads home, leaves Beautifly and her Skitty there, and heads to Kanto.
After losing in the Grand Festival to Solidad, and became depressed about her loss, she temporarily recalls Beautifly to her party in the The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!, where she used in a battle against Drew. Teamed up with May's Combusken, Beautifly battles against Drew's Roselia and Butterfree. Despite both her Pokémon having a type advantage, as well as Beautifly's recently learned Psychic, May loses the battle, but regains her confidence.
In the Wallace Cup in Sinnoh, she used Beautifly to battle Zoey's Glameow, where she gracefully won and allowed May to move up to the finals. Beautifly will be refered to as female because the red spots on its wings are smaller.

Finally, an outfit post! I must admit, I'm pretty bad at this…always plan on posting more outfits, but then
always forget to take the pictures when I'm out, will try and work on that! This is the polka dot vintage
dress I mentioned in an earlier post! It's 'divine' (Danielle + Lauren, that word is for you! ha), I loved it
even more because it happens to be my favorite color! I also scored these clog looking heels the other day- i diiieee.

May 2009
by Lt. Gen. Lawrence P. Farrell, Jr., USAF (Ret)
The Defense Department is serious about robotics. The use of robots in warfare has long ceased to be a topic for science fiction and the technology has now become an essential component of the U.S. arsenal. Defense Secretary Robert Gates recently gave unmanned vehicles a resounding endorsement. As he announced the slowdown or termination of several big-ticket programs, he also voiced his intent to strengthen the nation's commitment to robotics technology. Gates proposed that more funds be allocated to field an additional 50 Predator class unmanned aerial vehicle orbits. He wants to increase the procurement of Predators by 62 percent over the current level. Even more significantly, he is shifting procurement of these systems to the baseline budget — away from supplemental funding. This solidifies the Pentagon's long-term financial support for UAVs. Gates also signaled he will back efforts to develop and deploy ground robots in greater numbers. The Army has a number of robots in the works under the Future Combat Systems program. Even though Secretary Gates intends to restructure the FCS, he will leave the sensors and robotics pieces in place — and these programs will most likely be expanded.The excitement about the future of unmanned technology was evident at the recent NDIA robotics symposium in Dallas, Texas. The industry chairman of the event was retired Navy Vice Adm. Joe Dyer, vice president for government programs at iRobot. The Defense Department was represented by Tony Melita, from the office of the undersecretary of defense for land warfare and munitions, and Ellen Purdy, enterprise director for joint ground robotics. The conference initially focused on ways to ensure and accelerate the adoption of new systems. More specifically, the objective was to understand what government and industry could do to speed up the deployment of more capable robotic technology. Geoffrey Moore, a respected author who specializes in business and technology, discussed the successful models, investment and management techniques that have proved successful in "crossing the chasm" from early adopters, to the early majority of those who become a critical mass of pragmatic practitioners. Once this latter group is on board, the technology is on its way to acceptance by the larger market. One could make the case that robotics is in its early adoption phase.Soldiers who had successfully used robots in the combat zones of Iraq and Afghanistan participated in a "robotics rodeo" — competing against each other to put four robots from four different manufacturers through a timed course. This was not only exciting but educational for those who have not seen robots performing combat maneuvers and tasks. This was a real highlight of the conference. Click here to view a video of the robotics rodeo that took place at this symposium.Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch, commanding general of the Army's III Corps, said the top applications for robots in combat are route clearance, convoys, persistent stare and robotic wingman. His emphasis is to move technologies to soldiers quickly. "Tell us what you can do today," Lynch said. The message was echoed by Lt. Gen. Michael Vane, deputy commanding general of the Army Training and Doctrine Command. Rebecca Johnson, deputy commanding general of the Army Maneuver Support Center at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., said robots are useful for chemical detection and destruction; mine clearing, military police applications and intelligence. She stressed the need to advance the state of the art in autonomous operations — going beyond tele-operation to collaboration: robots to robots and robots to humans. An innovation panel chaired by Tony Tether, former director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, explored the outer edges of the technological possibilities for robots.
Another conference highlight was the "Unmanned Systems Roadmap" presented by Ellen Purdy.The roadmap extends 25 years out and outlines ambitious goals — for example moving from multiple operators for one system to one operator for multiple systems. Another objective of the roadmap is to encourage robotics development that removes people from the most dangerous missions.One of the most encouraging segments of Purdy's presentation was the announcement and discussion of the Defense Department's intention to release a "request for information" to industry announcing a Robotics Prize Competition. This contest follows along the lines of DARPA's Grand Challenge. It focuses on the development of specific capabilities such as route clearance, roadside vegetation clearance, range clearance and humanitarian demining.The program has been authorized and cash prizes will be offered. These developments, as well as the current successful employment of robots in combat, are carving out a large space in the Defense Department's plans for the use of robotic capabilities. Robots are becoming big business, and getting bigger, especially as technologies mature. It's important to note that robots are a piece of a larger technology package that will characterize future capabilities. Robots, sensors and networks, all increasingly autonomous, will feed information and support war fighters with less human intervention.

May 5, 2016
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Danica Patrick has won the Daytona 500 pole, becoming the first woman to secure the top spot for any Sprint Cup race.
It was the biggest achievement of her four-year NASCAR career.
Patrick went out eighth in the qualifying session Sunday and covered the 2 1/2-mile superspeedway in 45.817 seconds, averaging 196.434 mph.
She waited about two hours as 37 fellow drivers tried to take her spot. Only four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon even came close to knocking her off.
Gordon was the only other driver who topped 196 mph. He locked up the other guaranteed spot in next week's season-opening Daytona 500. The rest of the field will be set in duel qualifying races Thursday.
However the field unfolds, all drivers will line up behind Patrick's No. 10 Chevrolet SS for "The Great American Race."
