Man arrested after officer struck by stolen cruiser in VtThe Associated Press | January 28,2014ST. ALBANS Police in St. Albans have arrested a man accused of driving a city police cruiser, striking an officer who tried to stop him, and then crashing the vehicle after a nearly 2-mile chase.
Police said the officer was treated at a hospital for minor injuries and released Sunday night.
Police first chased Roger Patenaude on foot; there was an active arrest warrant for him. They said the 34-year-old Patenaude found an unlocked, running police cruiser and hit the officer, who ordered him to stop.
Police pursued Patenaude. They said he eventually crashed the cruiser into a utility pole on Route 104.
He was treated at a hospital, then arrested on charges including aggravated assault and attempting to elude.MORE IN Vermont NewsHYDE PARK A lawyer for a sheriffs deputy who saw a domestic abuse investigation against him...

kind of the die hard version of rain man, it wasn't bad and had some really cool supporting performances. Otherwise, this was strictly by the numbers with Alec Baldwin chewing the scenery and Bruce Willis pursing his lips in anger, sadness, mirth, love and/or fear.

This movie was a surprise for me. It was watchable. Predictable, cliche, and not too shabby. It is entertaining enough to sustain your attention. The action isn't too bad, but what I think keeps your attention is seeing Alec Baldwin and Bruce Willis to head-to-head. A sleeper gem.

Even with it's ridiculous, even for an action movie, premise, it still manages to be somewhat entertaining.

Mercury Rising is a stereotypical '90s action film that's fairly entertaining, but familiar. When a 9-year-old autistic boy accidentally cracks a top secret government encryption code a rogue section of the NSA attempts to eliminate him. The story's pretty ridiculous and is full of plot holes, but the chases and fight sequences add a lot of energy to the film. Bruce Willis, Alec Baldwin, and Chi McBride lead the cast, and are able to add some personality to otherwise rote characters. A by the numbers thriller, Mercury Rising delivers a solid and enjoyable film that's full of action.
|Jonny P
December 15, 2013
"Mercury Rising" looked so great from its synopsis... but the synopsis was just vague enough to completely mislead me. In an ode to "WarGames," a young boy accidentally deciphers a secret government code. To heighten the interest of the film, the boy is autistic. At this point, one would expect the film to explore the discovery of the code and show how it is used for good or for evil; instead, it turns the film into "Die Hard" with an autistic kid. Let's see which will draw audiences in better: "An autistic 9-year-old boy cracks the U.S. government's top-secret code when an unapproved test matrix gets published in a crossword magazine" OR "Bruce Willis plays typical heroic character while protecting a kid from assassins for two hours." Well played, Universal. Movie #1 interested me while I never would have given Movie #2 a chance. Even though the plot stinks, this could have been a great vehicle for Miko Hughes to have his Rainman role, but he doesn't. His portrayal of autism is more offensive than it is empathetic. Meanwhile, Alec Baldwin doesn't do much of anything and Bruce Willis is about 30% shy of being John McClane. The film has a few interesting plot twists with several characters unsuspectingly killed off but it isn't enough to make up for the weak acting performances and the bland script.
|Crispin B.
December 13, 2013
Weird how negative are the reviews of this film. Perhaps a problem of confused expectations? I am pretty cynical at the best of times, but I found the autistic boy played by Miko Hughes endearing, Bruce Willis as the concerned adult a solid and convincing performance, and the story extremely moving. Sure, there is not so much of them, but the action scenes are still good, there is a lot of suspense, and the musical score is excellent. Maybe people were expecting a straightforward Die Hard sequel. That it is not, but it is an absorbing film nonetheless.

A Very Under Rated Movie
|Guido S
November 14, 2013
An autistic boy cracks a code in a magazine, so the NSA kills his family and is after him. This could have been a good movie, but the film starts to get ridiculous and unbelievable quick and never turns it around. Bruce Willis is ok, but he is forgetable. Alec Baldwin as the evil NSA guy is a really out of place casting. Even though I just watched it, this movie is incredibly forgettable.
November 10, 2013
Neither the plot or the acting are particularly credible, and whilst Balwin's villain does have some charisma it doesn't particularly gel with the other elements of the film. Despite some thriller aspects to the movie the action sequences are fairly lack-lustre, so overall it is watchable but a bit plodding.

It`s a good film, the little boy plays his part well, and Willis as always, fine.
And, i really do recomment this one.

Why the rating is so low?! Mercury Rising possessed many qualities that you don't get from any other action movies - good plot, cast and what an ending! Bruce Willis and Alec Baldwin shines, respectively, as both the good and bad guys. Although, Miko Hughes did good, his character doesn't justify an autistic kid by far and that's quite disappointing. Overall Mercury Rising is one of the best action movie I've ever seen!!

Anthony Clemmons sits out Iowa's exhibition victory with ankle injury
Nov 3, 2013, 8:36 PM EST
In their lone exhibition game before opening the season against UNC Wilmington on Friday night the Iowa Hawkeyes coasted past Augustana (Ill.) by the final score of 87-65. Zach McCabe and Aaron White led the way offensively for Fran McCaffery's team with 16 points apiece and sophomore center Adam Woodbury posted a double-double, accounting for ten points and 11 rebounds.
But the Hawkeyes didn't have all hands on deck, as sophomore point guard Anthony Clemmons sat after injuring his ankle in practice on Friday. Clemmons, who averaged 4.3 points and 2.8 assists per game last season, sat as a precautionary measure with McCaffery stating after the game that he would have played if there were a need for him to go according to John Bohnenkamp of the Burlington (Iowa) Hawk Eye.
McCaffery expects him to play in Friday's opener against UNC-Wilmington.
"He'll be good," McCaffery said. "He was still a little bit swollen, a little bit sore today. If he had to, he could have gone. It wasn't worth pushing it."
Iowa doesn't lack for options when it comes to who initiates their offense, with sophomore Mike Gesell (five assists on Sunday) and senior Devyn Marble (15.0 ppg, 3.0 apg in 2012-13) both having experience at the position. If all their key players remain healthy, the Hawkeyes have the pieces needed to make a run at an NCAA tournament berth after winning 25 games and reaching the title game of the Postseason NIT last season.
Iowa's toughest non-conference games won't come until the latter portion of November, as they host Penn on November 22 (Fran McCaffery's alma mater) and then play in the Battle 4 Atlantis the following week. Iowa opens that event with Xavier, followed by either Tennessee or UTEP with both Kansas and Villanova on the other side of the bracket.
Iowa also has non-conference games against Notre Dame (December 3) and Iowa State (December 13) before opening Big Ten play on New Year's Eve against Nebraska.

This Weekend!!
If you're looking for something to do this weekend…
Tonight, head to The Pageant to hear your old favorite, Better Than Ezra, perform at 8pm. The 23rd Annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival opens tonight with the premiere of "Makings of You," by Matt Amato, an award-winning director of music videos and commercials.
If you're looking for something fun and educational to do with the kids on Friday, head over to the Science Center to see the fascinating Omnimax film, Mysteries of the Unseen World. The film takes you into invisible realms that surround you every minute of the day to see what you are missing. You could also head over to the Edison Theatre for The Complete History of Comedy (abridged). It's The Reduced Shakespeare Company's freshly hatched show, which combines a chronological examination of chortle-worthy endeavors from the Stone Age through yesterday with a heavy splash of tongue-in-cheek indulgence. Come and escape the mundane at the Boo Cat Club for a fantastic play, Stairs to the Roof, performed by the incredibly talented Benjamin Murphy.
On Saturday, visit Art St. Louis downtown to view a panorama of media, including gouache paintings, gunpowder drawings, ceramics, mixed media, photography, latex paint, charcoal, 3-D video, bronze sculpture and more at Art St. Louis XXX, The Exhibition. Then head over to the St. Louis Art Museum to check out the world's most important Polynesian sculptures, Atua: Sacred Gods from Polynesia, and the visual culture of Buddhism, Facets of the Three Jewels: Tibetan Buddhist Art, from the collections of George E. Hibbard. For a different taste, check out the talented Blues/Rock guitarist and vocalist, Joe Bonamassa, playing at the Fabulous Fox Theatre on Saturday. If that's not your style, check out Swing Xing with Bucky Pizzarelli, Frnak Vignola, and Vinny Raniolo at The Sheldon. You can also head over to The St. Louis Symphony at Powell Hall on Saturday or Sunday. They are playing All-Beethoven, the works of Beethoven as an emerging master composer. If you're feeling crafty Saturday, take a drive over to Perennial on S. Broadway for DIY Demo: Eco-friendly Furniture Restoration to learn how to reuse old furniture you have laying around the house.
On Sunday, head over to the Touhill Performing Arts Center for MADCO: Wallstories. The 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is the inspiration for this amazing interpretative dance performance. For a more relaxed atmosphere, visit the St. Louis County Library, the Natural Bridge Branch, for Knitwits, to learn to crochet and knit with a fun group.
Have a great weekend!

CBO: Federal government to rake in record revenue in 2013 (and it's still not enough)
**Written by Doug Powers
In spite of what they say on an almost daily basis, the federal government has a catastrophic spending addiction, not a revenue problem:
Federal revenue will return to its pre-recession levels in 2013, according to projections from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), setting a record for the most money the government has ever taken in.
In its latest Budget and Economic Update, the CBO forecasts that federal revenue will top $2.7 trillion in 2013, slightly higher than the $2.6 trillion the government collected in 2007, when the last recession officially began.
Government revenues had fallen by nearly $500 billion during the recession to $2.1 trillion in 2009, contributing to the $1.5 trillion deficit that year. However, federal revenues have been recovering since the recession ended in June 2009, and the CBO now projects that they will slightly eclipse their pre-recession peak.
In fact, the $2.7 trillion in revenue will be the most money the federal government has collected in history.
But it'll never be enough:
President Barack Obama said on Sunday more tax revenue would be needed to reduce the U.S. deficit and signaled he would push hard to get rid of loopholes such as the "carried interest" tax break enjoyed by private equity and hedge fund managers.
"There is no doubt we need additional revenue, coupled with smart spending reductions in order to bring down our deficit. And we can do it in a gradual way so that it doesn't have a huge impact," he said.
There will certainly never be enough revenue to satisfy Harry Reid:
Asserting that "the American people" are on his side, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told me during an exclusive interview for "This Week" that any that deal reached between Republicans and Democrats to avoid the looming sequester must — "without any question" – include revenue.
"The American people are on our side. The American people don't believe in these austere things. We believe that the rich should contribute."
Naturally, record revenue is an inadequate amount for Nancy Pelosi:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said on Sunday that Democrats will push for more revenue in the fight over raising the debt ceiling – an issue Republicans say was already settled in the just-completed fiscal cliff deal.
President Barack Obama had wanted $1.6 trillion in new revenue, but settled for $620 billion raised from higher income tax rates for the wealthy.
"That is not enough on the revenue side," the Democratic congresswoman from California said during on CBS's "Face the Nation."

Book – Orphanage (Jason Wander) / Fiction Scifi – Starship Troopers Revisited
The book Orphanage (Jason Wander) was first published in 2008 by Robert Buettner, a former Army Military Intelligence officer.
Bill Golden sez: If you liked or loved Robert Heinlein's classic Starship Troopers then you will quickly come to like Orphanage by Buettner. The books are alike in so many ways, even with political undertones that many readers would overlook. Heinlein's classic allowed voting rights only to those that served honorably in federal service, i.e. the military (a long running argument on this examined in great detail – PDF). Buettner's take is similar but with a strong post 9/11 update as to how the world works.
Lots of military humor soaked into this book as the main character, Jason Wander, goes from being a reluctant screw-up of a military recruit to a breveted general officer (eventually).
If you want some light reading with a familiar theme that keeps you constantly meeting new characters and full of plot twists then this is the book, and the book series for you to read.
Some really good news is this is a book series and each book just gets better. Wars are not over quickly and neither is this series.
Other books in this series that I have read and like; no, I have not read them all yet.
- Orphan's Destiny (Jason Wander)
- Orphan's Journey (Jason Wander)
- Orphan's Alliance (Jason Wander)
- Orphan's Triumph (Jason Wander)
If you like these books then there are others available … but I have not read those … so let me know how that they work for you. I unintentionally read the last book in the series (Triumph); since I know how it all turns out I just did not have interest in going back and reading some of the other books.
From the official description of this book:
Mankind's first alien contact tears into Earth: projectiles launched from Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, vaporize whole cities. Under siege, humanity gambles on one desperate counterstrike. In a spacecraft scavenged from scraps and armed with Vietnam-era weapons, foot soldiers like eighteen-year-old Jason Wander-orphans that no one will miss-must dare man's first interplanetary voyage and invade Ganymede.
They have one chance to attack, one ship to attack with. Their failure is our extinction.
About saying Thank You to a Veteran
About saying Thank You:
… keep the thank you simple. Most veterans enjoy being told 'thank you for your service' and then most want to move on to a different topic. They generally do not want to get into old war stories. They do like to talk about their buddies. The most memorable part of military service, the part that you want to remember, is how much and how important the other people in uniform became to you when things got tough. Things being tough or bad didn't matter so much as long as your buddies were there and were OK.
I'm still in contact with Army buddies that I met way back in 1974. We are fast friends forever.
Veterans Day 2014 / How and Why I Joined the U.S. Army
My father was a Marine and my mother a Department of the Navy civilian.
I was graduating high school during the Vietnam War years. I wanted to go to college. My father said NO to helping me pay for college.
OK, so … the military offered college tuition if you joined. Being the son of a Marine I went down to talk to the USMC recruiter. He wasn't in. That night I told my girlfriend and she went ballistic. NO, no, no … she said that I wasn't going in the Marines … to set me straight she called a family friend that knew all about the military and asked him to call me.
Her friend was an Army recruiter. It never occured to her to ask how he knew so much about the military.
My father: John Henry Golden Sr, 1934-2001, Korean War Vet, USMC
I went on to serve in the U.S. Army from July 5, 1974-April 1, 1996.
Veterans Days 2014 / The Navy, Me, and Donuts – 1968
When I was 12 I lived next door to a Navy family. The father served on a destroyer at Mayport, Jacksonville, Florida.
Each year they would have family day. The whole family was welcome to come aboard ship and they sailed several hours out to sea and then back. It was long enough that you got a full meal and lots of snacks out of it. They snuck me aboard as a 'son'.
We were allowed to wander most of the ship without adult escort, to include wandering in and out of the messhall. I grew up eating very basic food without hardly any frills. The messhall had trays of donuts of all kinds and you could drink all the chocolate milk that you wanted — things which were unknown at my house. That was almost enough to convince me that the Navy offered opportunities.
Get an F-22 Quadcopter Drone at your local 7-11
Bill Golden sez:
You can now pick up a 'drone' at your 7-11 along with your cup of coffee and a doughnut.
The 7-11 convenience store at the corner of Dale Boulevard and Hoadly Road, Dale City, Virginia, now offers three kinds of drones for less than $99.
Despite the advertisement that these are professional grade drones, these drones are really just advanced toys with limited use — you get seven minutes of flight time on a good set of batteries. However, the drones look well built and durable and you can pick up the F-22 quadcopter drone for just $59.
Seven minutes of flight time — that's a lot more than I once got with my rubberband balsawood airplanes!
BTW – No doughnuts were actually eaten during my visit to this 7-11 … just in case you are talking to my wife.

Sculpting is an art that has defined us from the dawn of humanity. We slowly started polishing stone, marble, ceramic and wood creating beautiful, staggering pieces of art. We have rounded up 9 unusual and creative sculptures and statues from around the world so we can experience a little part of this beautiful form of art.
Artist of the Week: Sculptural book art by Brian Dettmer
You can call Brian Dettmer a marvelous sculptor, a one of a kind artist, a genius of the highest level, but I think book worm fits him best. Brian is a New York based artist, born in 1974 in Naperville, Illinois, and for the past decade or so, he has amazed the world with his beautiful sculptural books. Yes, you read it right. He sculpts books.
Amazing Surreal Oil Paintings by Joel Rea
Joel Rea is an incredibly talented artist that uses hyperrealism in his oil paintings. While gawking at his paintings, for a moment there, I lost myself into them, and started reminiscing about days past. It has a sort of mesmerizing attribute that not only makes my imagination wander, but also makes my memories to come back in a cluster of emotions.
Artist of the Week: 3D Beach Art By Jamie Harkins
Hyperrealistic Graphite Drawings by Monica Lee
Artist of the Week: Body Paintings by Emma Fay
Emma Fay is one incredibly creative talent. She is known world wide for specializing in make-up and concept artistry. Her surreal art works that combines her artistic, theatrical and business background blend in so perfectly, that you wonder for a bit if the paintings you see in front of you are real.
Top 20 Free Graffiti Fonts
Nowadays, graffiti is an accepted art form to which many people are attracted to, whether as art creators or art consumers. In this article, we will be rounding up the best free graffiti fonts we have found while navigating the treacherous waters of the internet, so you do not have to waste precious time looking for them yourself.
Artist of the Week: Realistic Finger Paintings by Zaria Forman
Painting plays an important part in our development as a species, as it allowed us to develop abstract thinking, and also visually document parts of everyday, mundane existence, as well as more "important" events. It is, after all, in the minds of many people, virtually synonymous with art, and it could be argued that without it, art as a concept would not even exist. Today, we will be taking a look at some absolutely gorgeous realistic finger paintings by Zaria Forman.
The Softer Side of Pit Bulls
Sophie Gamand is the one behind these beautiful pictures depicting how soft and cute Pit Bulls are. They have been portrayed in movies as vicious creatures that only seek blood and violence, because of this they are the champions in dog fights. This can't be more wrong. They are dogs like any others. Sophie Gamand is a French photographer that is currently working in New York City – her main work focus is the relationship between dogs and humans; and she has the goal of bringing justice to these wonderful little friends of ours.
Artist of the Week: Awesome Low-Poly Illustrations of The Big Bang Theory Cast by Mordi Levi
Mordi Levi, a graphic designer, and illustrator, from Haifa, Israel created these low poly illustrations. You can check his awesome work on his behance page, or like him on Facebook. Go check him out, he is an incredibly talented artist, that doesn't remain in the low poly genre and has a ton of other art works that you can gawk at.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email email@example.com.
I need to display 10-15 images for each product, and Magento's default of 4 images just doesn't cut it.
Can anyone recommend a "gallery" script, or module/extension/etc, that I can "plug in" into each product to call out the "image showcase"?
This can either work as an add-on to the default Magento stuff (main/thumbnail/etc) - or be a separate "pop-up-gallery" script.
Any pointers, and particularly live examples, would be much appreciated.
I am very interested in this question, too. I haven't started testing Magento yet - but a limit of four pictures per listing is a definite drawback!
So if any one knows a solution I would very much appreciate it!
I am interested in that too!
One further extention could be to have the thumbnails link to videos (and PDF manuals), instead of just pictures.
Update: partial solution.
There's a JavaScript called "Lightbox", which has a neat gallery effect.
Article on the wiki: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/adding_lightbox_to_magento_v2
It's a bit of a pain to install - there's a file location not specified in the instructions:
instructions say "- in page/html/head.phtml, find"
the file is here (if Magento is installed as root): app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/page/head.phtml
There's a mention of this setup being packaged & distributed as an extension (i.e. automatic install). Either try the extension, or carefully follow the directions.
So, now I have a neat "Lightbox" gallery effect. STILL don't know how to add more images (i.e. #5, 6, 7, etc.)
Will post an update when I figure it out… or hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I just added 16 product images without any trouble from the default install
cactus: thanks for pointing this out… I assumed that because the system presented a choice of "thumbnail" / "small image" / "store image", that was it....
Assumption is, indeed, the mother of all ****-ups.
The solution is, just keep adding images after specifying the 3 required ones. Giant "duh!".
Well, meanwhile, I got Lightbox integrated & working perfectly.
We'd like to hear from you! Call us, send us an email or talk to sales.

Guest host Heidi Montag surprised viewers of The View today by bringing along husband Spencer Pratt for some banter about their not-so-private private lives. The topics covered sex, marriage and babies in the baby carriage -- or, more accurately, no babies in the baby carriage.
Spencer sat in the front row and fielded questions about his previous public admission about their dwindling sex life.
Why? Because Spencer unequivocally does not want to have children and, as they all acknowledged, the only way to be 100 percent sure you won't get pregnant is to not have sex.
Heidi, who was dressed in a very casual jeans-and-blazer getup, explained why they're abstaining.
"I wanna have children sooner than later," she said. "My husband doesn't at all, ever. He wants to have surgery to make sure we don't."
As for the obvious question of why this issue didn't come up before the two exchanged vows, Heidi said they did discuss having children, but she thought he was joking about not wanting them, and that they would "get to that hurdle" after they were married.
Heidi says she wants "four or five" kids, and wants to get started right away because she liked having a young mother and would like the same for her children.
When asked to share his side of the story, Spencer, ever the pitchman said: "Well, if you tune into this season of The Hills..." But the ladies weren't having it and pressed on with the question.
"She hints she's going to go off [the pill] and not tell me," Spencer said.
Heidi admitted that "mistakes happen" and that sometimes you can miss a pill, and even so, it's only "like, 99 percent effective."
Of course there are other forms of contraception, but Spencer isn't interested in those.
"Women have a way of poking holes in condoms," he explained.
The couple seemed to dodge the larger question of what this says about the level of trust in their marriage.
Regarding Spencer's adamant stance against procreation, he referred back to what Whoopi told him and Heidi when they last appeared on The View -- that they would "end up in the street" if they didn't get their act together.
"Kids would speed up the path to homelessness," he said.
While she does want to get on the mommy path as soon as possible, Heidi's desired family timeline won't necessarily spell the end of their marriage. She said she's willing to wait a couple of years for Spencer to get his "young man-ness" out of the way.
What's your opinion? Should Heidi leave Spencer because he doesn't want kids? Chime in below!

The Switch writer, Caitlin Dewey, reviewed a recent study on Twitter in her article on "Where do Twitter trends start? Try Cincinnati" for the Washington Post. It summarizes a study done at Indiana University on where Twitter topics trend and spread. It found that Twitter trends that start in Cincinnati tend to spread out and reach other cities more than would have been thought for a city of that size. It concluded that physical geography has an impact on social media, which is often popularly thought of as transcending geographic location, by everyone but geographers and geospatial scientists – or do they? It turns out that The Geography of Twitter is a trending topic itself in the research world. Continue reading

Remote Sensing as Art
A few years ago, I ran across a fun website, called Be My Satellite, which promotes geoliteracy through collaborative satellite image-hacking. It is a type of large scale art installment that uses the spatial pixel grid as a creative tool, typically for Google satellite views. Another type of satellite art uses prints of images cut from Google Satellite View, Jenny Odell is a well known artist in this medium. Google Earth has generated many new types of art and revived others. Google Earth Art blog asks if Google Earth is the inspiration that revival landscape painting needs. Other artists and photographers, such as Mishka Henner featured in DPReview are creating open-source art from Google Earth images that provide new perspective about life on Earth – much like geospatial analysis. While in late October, Clyde Space and iam8bit is releasing an Andy Warhol-inspired satellite created by artists Jon Gibson and Amanda White into space, making it the first space art installment.
Therefore, when a local artist told me that she had been experimenting with large scale art that you can only view from the air, I got excited. I told her that she was talking about geo-spatial art and that it was an actual movement in the art world. I was able to discuss geographic information science, remote sensing, satellites, NASA, Google, and the crossover of geospatial technologies and art. It is always enjoyable when the topics that you like discussing and those that a friend enjoy discussing coincide – no matter how seemingly esoteric. The next step is to use one of the many satellite trackers to identify a potential satellite and ArcGIS to mock up the installation. The hard part will be the attempts to align the two up just right – which makes art and geospatial technologies a challenge.
San Fran Bay Bridge: The most spatial bridge in the world
According to NPR, when the newly completed San Francisco Bay Bridge reopened, "There was little fanfare, but the gleaming white and newly built $6.4-billion eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge reopened to the public as vehicles began crossing it after more than a decade of construction delays". This lack of fanfare is surprising because for the past several years the Bay Bridge has been an ubiquitously geo-spatially explored bridge construction project owing to its proximity to innovative government, company, and residents and its importance in their lives. It is also the World's Largest Self-Anchored Suspension Bridge.
To list a few spatial projects from over the years:
EarthCam released a time-lapse video of six years of construction on the bridge.
- Bay Bridge Photo Documentation of the past 15 years of construction by photographer Joe Bloom (1998)
- Bridge to Classroom, an interactive bridge building educational site based on the Bay Bridge by NewBayBridge.org (2006)
- Bay Bridge 3D Images on Google Earth, a cooperative project between CAlTrans and Google. (2007)
- Bay Bridge Time Lapse Video by EarthCam of six years of construction on the bridge (2008)
- William Gibson's Bridge City proposal for the old Bay Bridge by Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello (2009)
- Bay Bridge Explorer, 3D iPad video game in collaboration with AutoDesk (2011)
- Bay Bridge Construction Cams, San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Seismic Safety Projects (2012)
- The Bay Lights Interactive Installation by artist Leo Villareal (2012)
- Bay Bridge Computer Simulation of the crossing from Oakland to Yerba Buena Island, CAlTrans (2013)
GIS and Fine Art
My day was made brighter this morning by a Paris Metro Project by Hwan Lee, which is an Art Takes Paris project that details all 261 metro stations in Paris and the path of Hwan's walking history. I know that it is an art exhibit and that it is an actual static map, but wouldn't it be wonderful if interactive maps were so artistic. Frank LaFone and I have often discussed the need for artists to get involved in the geospatial process. It takes a certain eye to create a useful and aesthetically pleasing map. One that was either taught or engrained in many cartographers in the past. As the line of viewer's at the ESRI Map Gallery and the People's Choice Award Winner illustrates, art and maps create an enticing combination of human expression. Continue reading
A Review of Apps and Maps
We downloaded several apps for our Very Spatial Road Trip that were recommended by friends, online reviews, and VerySpatial podcasts. Since she was acting as navigator, Barbara insisted on stopping at AAA and picking up a stack of paper maps for back up. We found that there is no better crucible for road testing a travel app than a lengthy trip into the unknown under sometimes stressful and time imperative conditions. We felt like the explorers in Dava Sobel's book "Longitude" who were sent to sea with new technologies that we hoped would live up to their claims. It wasn't until after our trip that we heard more honest opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of the apps we packed. A friend, who is a global traveler, told us that it is good travel etiquette to leave our own input on any crowd-sourced apps as our "payment" for using it and to "pass it on" to other travelers. In that spirit, we have written a review of the apps that we used on our road trip from WV to CA.

The Driving Dutchman
According to a discussion in my LinkdIn ESRI Network, The Driving Dutchman of Cyclomedia is on the last leg of his roadtrip across America to the San Diego ESRI UC. Their mission statement has a cool picture of their professional vehicle and a description of how they capture street imagery. They are requesting drive bys and demonstrations from organizations working with maps.
Cat Tracks
The BBC News Science & Environment section has an article on "The Secret Life of the cat: What do our feline companions get up to?" with an interactive map of cats in a Surrey Village. It was created by BBC Two's Horizon Program and researchers at the Royal Veterinary College. It is based on a study by Dr. Alan Wilson, an animal movement specialist, at the Structure & Motion Laboratory at the Royal Veterinary College. In his article, "Secret Life of the Cat: The Science of Tracking Our Pets", he provides information on the technical challenges of using GPS to track domestic cats. Like many scientists working in the field, Dr. Wilson has had to develop his own tracking equipment in order to study the movement of pigeons, sheep, cheetahs, wild dogs, and of course, cats. He is currently working on developing unmanned arial vehicles for remote sensing and movement tracking. Cats are a great way to introduce the public to interactive mapping, tracking, and geospatial concepts because cats and birds are the most popular pets in the world.
The combination of cat popularity and GPS even resulted in a best selling book, "Lost Cat: A True Story of Love, Desperation, and GPS Technology" about a writer's determination to find out what her cat did when he went off into the "wild". CNET has a good video, "Using GPS to Track Exactly Where Cats Creep", about how the authors learned to track Tibi. The convoluted way they had to map his tracks illustrates the need for education on using GIS or an easy to use cat GIS, to go along with the easy to use cat tracking GPS market.
Geospatial Education and Interactive White Boards
Recently, I have been developing a tutorial for using electronic white boards for education. What I never noticed before, because they work so well together, is the symbiotic relationship between the use of electronic white boards and geospatial technologies. In an ENO by Polyvision demonstration, today's modern classroom (of 4 years ago) includes a Google Earth based geography lesson. Other demonstrations include the use of Google Sketchup on an Eno Board. A short video from Bayside Secondary in Ontario demonstrates the geography classroom of today using iPad apps and a Smartboard in a geography exercise. Interactive white boards are a natural fit for geography because of the creation of interactive wall maps by many former static map publishers, such as those developed by KIDS Interactive or StrataLogica NECC. According to ESRI's educational model for building geospatial proficiency, presentation is the first rung in developing geospatial literacy. A conference paper on the "Place of the interactive whiteboard in higher education of the Polish educational system" specifically discusses its use in teaching GIS and spatial literacy.
However, the integration of geography, GIS, and electronic whiteboards doesn't stop at K-12 education. At the GIS Conference 2012: Logica/CGI demonstrate their collaboration between ArcGIS and SMART Board that can be used with ArcGIS Online. The Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency in Tennessee likes to use a a Smartboard in conjunction with their GIS, in order to all be "on the same page". I think I am so used to thinking of collaborative GIS as being done on a horizontal touch screen or table top device, like the TouchTable, weTable, and other multi-touch environments, that I overlooked the power of the humble interactive white board.
