Jules Verne's classic underwater tale.
A mysterious sea monster, theorized by some to be a giant narwhal, is sighted by ships of several nations; an ocean liner is also damaged by the creature. The United States government finally assembles an expedition to track down and destroy the menace. Professor Pierre Aronnax, a noted French marine biologist and narrator of the story, master harpoonist Ned Land, and Aronnax's faithful assistant Conseil join the expedition.
After much fruitless searching, the monster is found, and the ship charges into battle. During the fight, the ship's steering is damaged, and the three men are thrown overboard. They find themselves stranded on the "hide" of the creature, only to discover to their surprise that it is a large metal construct. They are quickly captured and brought inside the vessel, where they meet its enigmatic creator and commander, Captain Nemo.

Avid audible listener for over 10 years.
"A classic that everyone should read."
This book was $2, and well worth it. I read the book 20 years ago, but decided to listen to it again. Buy the book and don't use the credit though. It will be the best $2 you spend on audible.
Written over 100 years ago it accurately predicts submarines, deep sea diving and other technologies. The narration by Peter Hausmann is great and the story can't be beat. I could write more, but at $2 try it for yourself.
"Great translation, so-so narration"
I tried very hard to like this audiobook, because it uses the best public domain translation of Verne's masterpiece currently available: the first version of F. P. Walter's translation, which is available on Gutenberg and elsewhere. (Walter has since re-translated the book in a copyrighted anthology called "Amazing Journeys: Five Visionary Classics." This anthology is THE place to start if you're just getting interested in Verne. It's available from Amazon in both paper and Kindle versions and includes many illustrations from the original French editions.) Walter's translation is clear, accurate, and idiomatic.
Unfortunately, Peter Husmann's narration falls short on a couple of key points. First - and I admit this may be subjective - he sounds like he's outside the novel looking in, rather than "inhabiting" it. His tone is slightly condescending, as if he's talking down to the listener. He's reading the book out loud, not telling the story. It may be that this was a conscious choice aimed at making the book more accessible to younger readers, but I didn't enjoy it. (Playing it with Audible's 1.25x or even 1.5x option did help this a bit.)
He also mispronounces some of the names, Aronnax in particular. It's "Aaron-ax" - Husmann pronounces it "Aaron-no", as if it were spelled Aronnaux. I found this distracting. "Conseil" is also mispronounced - it should be con-SAY, not con-SAIL. (Understand that these are my American approximations of the French.)
I would love to see a different reader tackle Walter's translation - or, alternatively, to see Husmann have another try at this one: he's got a good, strong voice; can clearly distinguish between the different characters; and would benefit greatly from a more natural delivery. (Come to think of it, maybe what he was missing was a good director.) Doing this book is clearly a labor of love for Husmann: at the time I wrote this, the "list price" was less than $2.00.
Actually what I would REALLY love to see is someone tackling all five of the novels in the anthology: this one, "Journey to the Center of the Earth," "Around the World in 80 Days," "From the Earth to the Moon" and its sequel "Around the Moon." Verne is a wonderful writer, and so far the audio versions of his work have been kind of piecemeal.
"Feel like I went on the voyage"
Breathtaking unforgettable voyage
When they went for their first walk underwater to the forest. The way the reader brought excitement in his voice when talking about the wanders the professor was seeing piked your interest so much that you had to stop the book and go look up pictures of what the book was describing. And that caused the book to come even more to life. And the walk through the sunken city of Atlantis. The description of the volcanic active lightening up the city. It made me want to take the time to wonder among the ruins described.
The Canadian harpooner - Peter's voice inflections brought alive the surliness, frustration and anger. You didn't just hear the words you felt like the real person was there and you were witnessing the actual scene.
Most definitely. And I will listen to it again.
I knew that movies aren't as good as the book and that Disney basically rewrote most of the stories they made. But they left so much of the best stuff out of the movie that it was a real surprise to actually listen to the book. I hated to stop to go into work each day. And I would take the country way home so I could drive slower to be able to listen longer. While the Nautilus was going through the Mediterranean, I was driving though the ice and snow. The story became so involving that when I parked, it was like going into a dream world instead of reality when I got out to face the walk through the cold parking lot to work.
"A difficult story plagued by a terrible reader"
This experience probably would have been much more enjoyable with a different reader. Verne can already be a little dull especially once he starts going off on his lists of every creature that swims, floats, or crawls through the ocean, or the average salinity of any given body of water, but Husmann's monotone almost metallic reading made it almost unbearable. I questioned several times if it was a robot reading but the occasional wheezing assured me there was in fact a human behind the mic. The pauses between chapters were also incredibly long, so much so, that I would check to see if my player had stopped every time.
The story is a classic but not my favorite. If you must read a Verne book I suggest "The Mysterious Island".If you must read this book I suggest any other recording.
"20.k yawns under the sea"
I've always been intrigued by this book so I decided to give it a try. I listened the whole book, and my opinion is that is a book for fishermen more than anything else. I lost count of how many times Verne describes the species of fishes. i can't say that it was total garbage after all..but even if it's a classic my opinion is that the story is a wasted opportunity. Nemo is amazing and all the premises where there... but it stops there.
"wow really enjoyed this"
loved this very very interesting. great fun. have been meaning to read this for years well worth it and better to listen!
Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes.
"The genius of Jules Verne that continues to inspir"
The plot of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas is essentially simple: Three men set out to capture and explain the unexplainable. Instead they are captured and encounter a brilliant madman who travels the seas seeking revenge and beauty. The men cannot continue in such a manner, so they risk their lives to free themselves.
A good portion of this novel is mere entertainment. Verne spends paragraphs explaining geography and marine life. These descriptions do little to advance the plot except when characterization is revealed through their observation. The amazing thing of this and indeed all of his novels is Verne's ability to fortell inventions that had yet to be made. Electricity for power, the scuba tank, and the submarine were not to make their appearance for many years after the novel was published in 1870.
The pioneering submarine designer Simon Lake credited his inspiration to Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,and his autobiography begins "Jules Verne was in a sense the director-general of my life." William Beebe, Sir Ernest Shackleton, and Robert Ballard found similar early inspiration in the novel, and Jacques Cousteau called it his "shipboard bible".
The aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont named Verne as his favorite author and the inspiration for his own elaborate flying machines. Igor Sikorsky often quoted Verne and cited his Robur the Conqueror as the inspiration for his invention of the first successful helicopter.
The rocketry innovators Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Robert Goddard, and Hermann Oberth are all known to have taken their inspiration from Verne's From the Earth to the Moon.Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and William Anders, the astronauts on the Apollo 8 mission, were similarly inspired, with Borman commenting "In a very real sense, Jules Verne is one of the pioneers of the space age".
Polar explorer Richard E. Byrd, after a flight to the South Pole, paid tribute to Verne's polar novels The Adventures of Captain Hatteras and An Antarctic Mystery by saying "It was Jules Verne who launched me on this trip."
The preeminent speleologist Édouard-Alfred Martel noted in several of his scientific reports that his interest in caves was sparked by Verne's Mathias Sandorf. Another influential speleologist, Norbert Casteret, traced his love of "caverns, abysses and underground rivers" to his avid youthful reading of Journey to the Center of the Earth, calling it "a marvelous book, which impressed and fascinated me more than any other", and adding "I sometimes re-read it still, each time finding anew the joys and enthusiasm of my childhood".
The French general Hubert Lyautey took much inspiration from the explorations in Verne's novels. When one of his more ambitious foreign projects was met with the reply "All this, sir, it's like doing a Jules Verne", Lyautey famously responded: "Yes, sir, it's like doing a Jules Verne, because for twenty years, the people who move forward have been doing a Jules Verne."
Other scientific figures known to have been influenced by Verne include Fridtjof Nansen, Wernher von Braun, Guglielmo Marconi, and Yuri Gagarin.
The real genius of this work, besides its incessant entertainment, lies in its ability to present technological advancement as the potential demise of man. This is an unnerving subject for the 19th century world which was riding high on the effects of the spreading Industrial Revolution.
"The first Leg"
I had forgotten about the Canadian chareter beign so prevalent in the story
Journy to the center of the earth:
Same author
Similar scientific / naturalist discussions
Excellent euphamisums and descriptions of the foreign presonality and ideals without being odvoius.
(Canadian in this book and the Icelander in Journy to the center of the Earth)
good voice work, not as much deffinition of charecter by voice action as Ive heard befroe but still very eliquently spoken.
chapter pauses are too long more then once i found myself checking to see if the program had paused.
"Different From Memory"
When I was a child, this book stood out as one of my favorites, and having picked up the audiobook for next to nothing, I was excited to return to such a fond part of my younger days. What I realized, was just how little I took away from the story so long ago.
What seems like half of the book is nothing more than the characters classifying every sea creature they come across, I don't know if I read the abridged version as a child or what, but I don't remember that at all. Needless to say, it bogs down the storytelling something fierce, no offense to the late Jules Verne, but good grief, I get it, your characters are smarter than the average Joe.
The story sprinkled around the endless classification is a wonderful tale, an adventure definitely worthy of admiration.
"Great book"
Although it was very lengthy and wordy at times, great book. Highly recommend to people interested in this type of book.
"The reader's style and delivery is annoying"
This was a cheap buy - and I can see why. The reader's delivery grates on the ear and becomes annoying after a very short time. I think the main problem is that his style is to over-emphasis just about everything he says, and his voice goes dramatically up and down during every sentence. I'm going for a refund!
"Twenty thousand reasons to be stunned into boredom"
I would try a book narrated by Peter Husmann again. I read Around the world in 80 days which was fine, but this one was mostly long lists of things.
I would cut down on some of the lists of things.
Smooth level. Steady
No but once started I wanted to get to the end. I don't like giving up on a book. I couldn't recommend it in any way.
"Well written but dated"
I say dated not just because many of the core concepts have been realised and surpassed, but because the vivid descriptions of marine life themselves have also become somewhat common place in the light of documentaries. I'm not saying there is no place in literature for descriptions of the mundane, daffodils are common place and yet Wordsworth managed to do them justice :) However, the descriptions here are of a scientific nature, not a poetical one.
Having said that, the character of Nemo is still enigmatic and there is some enjoyment to be had from that, but overall, I felt the book could have been shortened to half it's length and still held all of it's enjoyment for me.

What are the best practices for using mobile tagging? It's a popular question. I can point you to Tag's best practices or the 10 commandments of 2D barcodes, but sometimes it just helps to see what somebody else has done.
Ocala Style magazine, which serves a sunny Florida community, followed what might be the most important commandment for using 2D barcodes: Explain them to your users first. Recently the magazine dedicated a 500-word publisher's letter to helping readers understand Tag technology – and what they would get from it.
"Sprinkled throughout the issue, these small icons are portals to exclusive content, from up-to-date information and extra savings from advertisers to instant access to our Facebook page for reader feedback," Kathy Johnson writes. (Man. Certain magazines, which shall remain unnamed, are lucky I didn't have such instant access in my teen years to voice feedback about their lame quizzes.) "These tiny, colorful, seemingly indecipherable boxes have the potential to change your reading experience in real and meaningful ways," writes Johnson.
Publishing remains the top industry using Tag, and those of you in the industry have an opportunity to introduce it to your readers in a way that explains what they should do and why they should care. If that sounds daunting, you can always reach out to us here at Tag! We'd be happy to help.
What do you think is the best way to introduce Tag to readers? Do you have more ideas than we've considered? Let us know in the comments or on Facebook or Twitter.

Transfer Credit
Students who have taken composition classes at other universities or who would like to take an external course for writing credit in the future may apply to have their external classes accepted toward their writing requirements at Boston University.
Incoming transfer students and incoming freshman who have taken college-level writing courses should contact the Registrar's Office (email@example.com or call 617-353-2319) to apply for transfer credit.
Returning students should submit an application to the Writing Program with the following materials:
- A transfer credit form from the student's college at Boston University. Downloadable forms are available for CAS, CFA, COM, ENG, SAR, and SMG students. Students in other schools should contact their undergraduate advising offices for forms and further instruction. If the course is from a university outside the United States, the student should complete the International Programs office version of the form instead of one from the student's college.
- A catalog description of the course for which the student wishes to receive credit.
- A syllabus of the course for which the student wishes to receive credit. This may be a sample syllabus of the same course level provided by the department offering the external class. The syllabus must include details about the number, length, and type of papers that were required.
Students who are required to take the Writing Placement Test (students who submitted English-language proficiency test scores to Boston University for admission) must also take the Writing Placement Test before their applications can be evaluated.
Students who enter Boston University as freshmen are allowed to take an external class for either WR 100 or WR 150 transfer credit but must take one of those two (or a WR 100 or WR 150 equivalent) at Boston University. Transfer students may qualify for both WR 100 and WR 150 transfer credit for courses taken at their previous school.
More information about transfer credit at Boston University is available on the BU Admissions website. To see the answers to commonly asked questions about writing transfer credit, please visit Transfer Credit FAQs.

College students eat, sleep, learn, and play with their mobile phones, and Microsoft Tag allows schools to reach students through their preferred communications device, the smartphone. Since Tags can be placed on print, digital screens, and merchandise, they can be used across college campuses to help students connect to the university's' digital world. Here are just a few ideas.
Educate Students on How to Use the Library
The University of Colorado (UC) is using Tag to solve an administrative problem in its library. The Norlin Library, like many other libraries, can have problems explaining to students how to make the best use of its resources. Understanding that most students use their mobile phones for just about everything, the school decided to place Microsoft Tags on posters around the building. Students can scan the Tags and receive digital content showing the resources available to them and how they can use them for their projects.
Use Tag to Teach
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Hull is having fun with the Tag concept. During its "Mad March Bash," the department created teams to go on a treasure hunt, using Microsoft Tag to lead the search. The winning team (below) was the first to decipher the secrets of the last clue.
Rob Miles, a lecturer at the University of Hull, created a treasure hunt guide if you're interested in trying a Microsoft Tag Scavenger Hunt of your own.
Create Digital Messaging for Dorm Rooms
In dorm rooms across America, kids put up whiteboards and cork boards on their door so friends can leave messages. In this particular case, students are using Tag as note boards, allowing friends to snap the Tag to learn more about them or leave them notes on Facebook and Twitter.
Do you have ideas on how Tags can be used at colleges and universities? Let us know in the comments below or on Tag's Facebook or Twitter pages.

Give Head Coach John Tortorella credit.
He tried.
He wanted his players in shape and felt he achieved that following a strenuous training camp.
He wanted an up-tempo system. At the onset of the season, the Rangers were on top of the conference and the players were playing an aggressive forecheck and creating opportunities.
He wanted more scoring and he wanted more responsibility on his goaltender. Henrik Lundqvist was on top of his game and the Rangers were atop the NHL in scoring.
He brought in his own players he thought would be capable to play this type of game. Vinny Prospal, Ales Kotalik, Enver Lisin, and company all adapted well to their new team in the beginning.
The problem is, it hasn't sustained and the team has crashed. Hard.
While it's difficult to be critical of a team that has resurrected itself of late into the likes of a three-game winning streak, unlike Machiavelli, the ends don't necessarily justify the means.
For example, if not for Lundqvist the Rangers would not have won those three games, plain and simple.
Allowing greater than 30 shots a game is not a recipe for success. And there is, of course, the normal cast of characters contributing. Marian Gaborik, for one.
But the Rangers' woes lie in the statistics.
Thus far this season, the Rangers are averaging 2.69 goals per game. Last season? 2.44. 2007 - 08? 2.50.
So basically the addition of Gaborik increased total team goal scoring by about .25. Despite my admitted sheepishness with math, over an 82 game schedule, an additional .25 goals per game results in an additional 20.5 goals for the year.
Better, but overall not that impressive.
With a new system, new coach, new personnel, the results are basically the same. It appears that the scapegoats of conditioning and Tom Renney's defensive system had little to do with the problems surrounding this team.
In fact, the most disturbing statistic in comparison is with goals against per game. This season, the team is allowing 2.81 goals against. Last year, the team averaged 2.58. By season's end, the Rangers were scoring more than they were allowing.
This team, so far, has not.
Where is the change? Where is the style of play and commitment that fans were promised? Where is the entertainment?
Bottom line: there is little difference from last season and all the hype in the world can't disprove the fact that the Rangers are not the high-powered offense everyone had hoped.
It's true that a player like Gaborik thrives in Tortorella's system as well as speedy defensemen Matt Gilroy and Mike Del Zotto. The problem is that the system isn't paying enough dividends to warrant the play of those few players capable of that style.
As the coaching staff quickly learned, without solid defensive zone play, offense doesn't mean a blasted thing. So, the emphasis over the past couple weeks has been just that. Better play in their own end.
It began with the forwards not backchecking so deep in the zone. The opposing defensemen were being left wide open at the point because the wingers were so deep. Minor adjustment, big improvement.
And the defense has laid off a bit. While Del Zotto and company are still encouraged to rush the puck, players like Marc Staal is back to focusing on defense, not offense.
Has this come at the expense of some offense? Yes. And with the power play improved, it only further exemplifies the concern over the Rangers even strength play. But, between Lundqvist's improved play and the better defensive zone coverage, the Rangers have only allowed an average of 1.8 goals against in the past five games.
If the Rangers can continue to keep the goals against down, the scoring will eventually find it's way.
It may not be the way Tortorella wants the team to play, but it may be the only way that this group can find success.
More this afternoon, including our Game Day preview!

Conservation and Management Principles for Cultural Heritage Sites in China
Arising out of a perceived need by China's State Administration for Cultural Heritage (SACH) and the GCI's long involvement with SACH, the aim of the China Principles project is to develop national guidelines for cultural heritage conservation and management that respect and reflect Chinese traditions and approaches to conservation under the country's existing laws for the protection of cultural heritage. The project is a collaboration among three institutional partners—SACH, the GCI, and the Australian Department of the Environment and Heritage (DEH), formerly the Australian Heritage Commission.
The components for the project are:
- development of national guidelines
- dissemination of the China Principles
- application of the China Principles
- research
China is a country of exceptional diversity with a population of 1.2 billion in an area roughly the size of the United States. In addition to being the most populous country in the world, China has a long, rich history with an almost unbroken cultural tradition extending back some 5,000 years. Its cultural heritage sites record the formation and development of the Chinese people. Yet despite an outstanding cultural legacy and a long tradition of conservation and restoration practice, China has had no national charter or set of guidelines for conservation and management of its cultural heritage.
The development of the China Principles is premised on a holistic approach to the preservation of heritage sites. Key to the process is the conviction that heritage sites have values that can be identified and stated, and that the aim of conservation and management is to preserve those values unimpaired.
The guidelines are critically important at this juncture in a rapidly changing nation emerging from fifty years of relative isolation. The inventory of immovable cultural property in China as of 2004 includes over 400,000 entries, of which 1230 are listed as being of national importance. In addition to the conservation and maintenance issues that must be addressed, rapid economic development, social mobility, changing mores, and increasing tourism—both local and international—are posing new management challenges. SACH thus sees the development of conservation principles and their widespread adoption and application as an important and timely initiative.
Now completed and ratified by SACH, the Principles were issued by China ICOMOS in 2000 and consist of a document that covers general conservation principles, a management planning process, and intervention guidelines. The Principles are elaborated in an accompanying commentary. Publication in both Chinese and English has been completed to achieve wide dissemination outside of China, particularly in neighboring countries. An illustrated book with brief case studies drawn from Chinese practice is currently being compiled as an accompaniment to the Principles publication.

Most travelers would expect a European capital to have a bustling international airport. However, most first-time visitors to Finland would be in for a surprise. This Nordic beauty has a mere population of 5 million... hence, its Helsinki airport resembles a small regional airport . It may be home to global mobile phenomenon, Nokia, but its population doesn't appear to be sufficient to keep the former industry leader ahead of the competition. In fact, the Taloussanomat report out of Helsinki is the loudest singing canary in the global coalmine – a drop in Nokia brand popularity from 76% to 31% in a short 12 month period. Discover the vast selection of unlocked phones in particular the Nokia smartphone phones .
The major change agent in this scenario? In an inability to independently weather the unknown market climes and customer inclinations, Nokia partnered with Microsoft and released the Nokia Lumia800 (worth comparing to other unlocked phone options). Despite an aggressive marketing campaign, consumers are still undecided on their verdict. View the innovative protective solutions and premium electronic accessories from the industry's most leading brands
Nokia was an industry leader when there wasn't a truly global mobile device market and an accompanying level of global competition. Joining forces with Microsoft in February was a move intended to preserve its status in the mobile device industry. It currently seems to have inherently altered the flavor of the company and, in due course, its product and image. Even when taking the newest products out of consideration, this pairing appears to have alienated Nokia's customer base. This perception could potentially be altered with an addition of tablets.
Efforts to appease those customers have a hollow resonance when compared to the Nokia of old. Even worse, with Stephen Elop's statements regarding the Lumia800 being "the first real Windows Phone device," the management of the co-branding is likely to alienate other Windows OS smart phone manufacturers like HTC, LG Mobile and Samsung. A conflict in culture, vision, and management are looking to be greater conflicts than the mediocre mobile devices launched by the Microsoft-Nokia conglomerate. Fortunately, online retailers like PureMobile afford consumers an array of unlocked smart phones and the latest fashion setting superior protective accessories to customize mobile devices.
In fact, since the Microsoft partnership Samsung has significantly jumped in Finnish market share (3% to 25%) followed by a 26% increase by Apple and more pieces of the pie gobbles up by Sony Ericsson, Huawei and ZTE. This may indicate a marked augmentation in Finnish inclination to peruse the unlocked mobile device market to meet their smart phone needs.
With all of these unfavorable markers the casual observer may infer the fall of a mobile dynasty, but this writer's belief is that the partnership with Microsoft was a necessity to remain competitive in the growing global market. If Nokia can be as innovative and inventive in its mobile device accessories they will have an even greater chance of survival.

Charlie Huisking
Charlie Huisking created the Sarah F. Huisking Art Studio in honor of his sister Sarah. Members of the Huisking family have also donated funds to create the Sarah F. Huisking Memorial Scholarship.
When Sarah Huisking was growing up in Sarasota, some of her happiest times were spent in the Gothic Revival-style Sarasota High School building facing U.S. 41 near downtown Sarasota. A 1960 graduate of the school, Sarah was in the National Honor Society and on the swim team. But her favorite subject was art, an avocation that enriched her life even during the battle with cancer that she lost in 2008.
When her brother, Charlie Huisking, was looking for an appropriate way to honor Sarah's memory, the answer came to him immediately: a $250,000 commitment to Ringling College of Art and Design to create the Sarah F. Huisking Art Studio. The gift will be fulfilled in part through a fund established by Charlie and Sarah's parents. Fittingly, the studio will be in Sarah's high school building, which Ringling College is transforming into the Visual Arts Educational Center, home of the Sarasota Museum of Art (SMOA).
Charlie describes his sister as an "incredibly generous and caring person." Most of her paintings, which included landscapes and portraits done in oils and watercolors, were gifts to others. "In fact, a week before she died, she was in art class working on a painting of my schnauzer," Charlie says. "It's become one of my prized possessions."
"Sarah loved Sarasota High, she cared about historic preservation, and she was an avid painter," says Charlie, a former arts writer for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
"As a reporter, I covered Ringling College for years and wrote some of the first stories about its decision to join forces with the Sarasota Museum of Art. So, this project seemed like the perfect memorial."

Why CTF4 is bad
there is not one main ca map on this list.... is this is bad joke or what..
When will you fix the rotation so that we can reach the entire pool of maps? Again this month only about five FFA maps ever come up out all the ones available. Apparently it has something to do with number of players on the server, but who cares about that? Hell's Gate, for example, is back, but it will never come up in end of match votes.
Please fix the bug. The new system would be fine if we had 12-15 maps to choose from instead of 5-7.
I hate current maps honestly (0_o)
Awesome CTF maps. All of them. But then there's not many maps I don't like
I was in two minds about the ability to vote on maps being revoked in standard public servers, but then this gives people an incentive to join Pro hosted servers as opposed standard public servers. With these monthly map rotations, non-paying members get a damn good deal if you ask me.
Isn't it basically a waste of a slot to have distant screams and silent night?

Mets & Shaun Marcum agree to 1-year, $4 M contract
The Mets and free-agent RHP Shaun Marcum have agreed to a one-year, $4 million contract, plus an additional $4 million in incentives, according to Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com.
Marcum, 31, went 7-4 with a 3.70 ERA in 21 starts for the Brewers in 2012, during which he missed two months of the season with an elbow injury.
He is 57-36 with a 3.76 ERA in seven seasons with the Blue Jays and Brewers.
He has averaged just under six innings per start, held the opposition to a .240 average and has allowed 1.21 home runs per nine innings in his career as a starting pitcher.
Jan: 24: The Mets and Marcum have agreed to a one-year deal (Heyman, CBS Sports).
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Jan. 24: This is a good signing. I like it. Marcum isn't an ace, but that wasn't the goal. The goal was to get a formidable, experienced pitcher with upside, who could help work to replace R.A. Dickey's innings. I think Marcum can do this.
The Rangers, Pirates and Padres were also in talks with him, but I'm guessing Sandy Alderson's pitch worked, because it's a good spot for Marcum, given questions surrounding his elbow. He will be a featured pitcher, a lock to be in the rotation, in a pitcher's park in the National League for a year, knowing he can go back at the market one year from now and again try to find a long-term deal. It makes total sense on both sides, and I'm glad this worked out, because the Mets need someone with his upside. He could be always be a bust, but if he can just do what he did last season, he could end up being the 'bargain of the winter,' as FanGraphs recently wrote. Marcum, along with Matt Harvey, Jon Niese, Johan Santana and Dillon Gee, could give the Mets better rotation than people will expect… especially with Zach Wheeler waiting in the wings.
For what it's worth, I hear the Mets are still looking for a starting pitcher to sign a minor-league deal, to act as insurance for the rotation and be a potential long-man out of the bullpen.
Michael Baron, Contributor
Jan. 24: Of all the free agents the Mets were reportedly considering to replace R.A. Dickey, Marcum was the most ideal candidate. He won't replace all of Dickey's innings, but he along with growth from the holdovers (and what's on the way) should be able to produce around 200 of those innings.
Last year, Marcum dealt with an elbow injury which cost him two months in the middle of last season. He pitched to a 4.32 ERA in eight starts after coming back. But he was on his way to another strong year and could have easily had double digit wins for the fourth time in five years if not for his stint on the disabled list. He doesn't throw hard and throws pretty much everything but relies mostly on a fastball/change-up/cutter combination. He pitches to contact but throws strikes which helps him remain effective. He doesn't record many strikeouts but he limits his walks and does a pretty good job of keeping the ball in the park.

Enhancing Learning with Online Tools
October 18, 2012
By Stephanie Thara
Approximately 80 percent of Americans use the internet, which means about 240 million people across the United States go online on a regular basis. With increased awareness and access to online communities, CSU faculty are going beyond the four walls of the classroom and integrating online and social media tools into their curriculum.
Professors are expanding boundaries and utilizing internet resources to provide a more interactive learning environment that gives students additional opportunities to grasp the topics discussed.
Becky Damazo, a nursing professor at Chico State, has developed an in-world simulation through Second Life—a completely online virtual world—that allows her students to fulfill some of their community service experiences, as well as interact in medical emergency scenarios. Through Second Life, students can create avatars and play the role of both doctors and patients to learn more about ailments and techniques to cure those ailments.
"In virtual life, you can do things that aren't practical or probable in real life," said Ann Steckel, an instructional technology consultant at Chico State.
Professors are also starting to tap social media to encourage educational progress. Michael Stephens, an assistant professor at San José State's School of Library and Information Science, uses hashtags on Twitter (a micro-blogging site) to share class content with his students and promote conversation.
Similarly, CSU San Marcos sociology professor Matthew Atherton challenges students to break down complex theories into a 140-character statement and tweet it. Asking students to synthesize numerous aspects of the theory into a succinct statement helps them interpret the core ideas of the theory.
Along with integrating online tools into their curriculum, professors are starting to encourage students to complete assignments using emerging technology. Several professors at SJSU's School of Library and Information Science assign class projects that may involve developing a web page, an online tutorial or an application for a mobile device. Incorporating emerging technologies into programs give students the exposure that leads to quickly learning new technologies and thriving in a society that is actively engaging online communities.
"We are extending learning beyond the physical classroom," said Sandra Hirsh, director of the School of Library and Information Science. "By integrating the latest technology, instructors can plan and carry out the best curriculum possible."
To encourage online collaboration in the classroom, CSU San Bernardino has launched the Digital Literacy series. The series features lectures and workshops where students and faculty can learn techniques in helming the electronic frontier to enhance educational experiences. Howard Rheingold, one of the most forward-thinking experts in the communication and digital communities, will kick off the series today by detailing the fundamentals of digital literacy.

Uncork with confidence
The Wine Society is a mutual organisation, so our members' satisfaction is paramount. If, for any reason, you haven't enjoyed a wine we want to hear about it and will happily offer a credit, a replacement or a refund.
The Wine Society pre-moderates comments on articles and reviews on products. This means that comments and reviews will not be published instantly; they will first be checked by the moderators. Moderators will be monitoring the site between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday and will endeavour to process comments and reviews within 48 hours of submission.
Moderation is intended to ensure that content published on The Wine Society website is of value to members and is fair and balanced.
We will normally approve comments for publication as long as they:
We reserve the right to suspend comments and reviews at any time. Where we choose not to publish a comment or review for a reason other than those listed above, we will reply to the member concerned by e-mail explaining our reasons and inviting them to make appropriate changes so that the comment or review can be reconsidered. We also reserve the right not to publish reviews that mention other wine merchants and competitors.
We may wish to use your comments in our literature or elsewhere online. Unless you specify otherwise, you are therefore agreeing in posting your comments that The Society has the right to use, edit, publish in any media, delete and/or store the whole or any part or parts of that post, and may quote you by name, without charge and without reference to you or anyone else.
The Society's wine buyers work very closely with our suppliers to determine how best to seal our wines. We list below those closures currently in use with a brief description of each.
A technical cork made up of the remnants from the production of natural corks which are ground down into particles and cleaned and then combined using a food-grade polyurethane glue. A cheaper closure which The Society's buyers discourage suppliers from using.
A technical cork made from cheaper-grade natural cork where the naturally occurring pores are filled with ground down cork particles and then the whole is sealed with a food-grade wax coating. Generally only used for wines with a short shelf-life.
Diam corks look like agglomerate corks but are far superior and are designed to put an end to cork taint and random oxidation. The production process chops cork into pieces and sorts the superior, highly elastic, suberin component from the less elastic lignin, which is discarded. It mixes the suberin with microscopic spheres of the same substance used for contact lenses, which fills the voids between the cork particles reducing porosity to air and increasing elasticity without introducing humidity. Finally the pieces are mixed with a glue and moulded under pressure. The mechanical properties of the cork are guaranteed for a certain minimum number of years depending on the grade of cork - for example Diam 2 is guaranteed for two years; Diam 3, 5 and 10 are also available.
The Champagne cork is 90% agglomerate made from cork off-cuts which are ground down, cleaned, compressed and then glued together with two disks of good quality natural cork glued onto the end which protrudes into the bottle.
Natural corks harvested from the cork oak (Quercus suber) forests in Spain and Portugal have been the closure of choice for wine for the 300 years. The bark of the cork oak is stripped from mature trees every nine years. The planks are stored and then cleaned and graded before the corks are punched out of the wood. For wines destined for long-ageing, high-grade natural corks are still the closure of choice.
Cost-effective synthetic 'corks' made from food-grade plastic with a silicone coating (similar to that used on natural corks). Generally used for wines for short-term cellaring.
A glass stopper with a plastic 'O' ring which acts as an interface between the top of the bottle and the stopper, held in place by a metal, tamper-proof seal. Relatively expensive as a closure and not widely used. Can be removed by hand.
A short natural or agglomerate cork with a plastic or wooden top to enable the stopper to be removed by hand. Traditionally used for whiskies, sherries, Madeira etc.
Aluminium alloy screwcaps made with an expanded polyethylene wadding for the lining. Screwcaps are also known as ROTEs (roll-on tamper evident) or by the brand name (Stelvin is a popular brand). Widely used in Australia and New Zealand and for wines for short-term cellaring. Becoming increasingly sophisticated in terms of allowing differing levels of permeability so mimicking the properties of natural cork offering winemakers more choice depending of the style of wine being made. There is still a lack of sound data regarding the performance of screwcaps for longer-term cellaring.
This is an agglomerate cork with a disk of good-quality natural cork adhered to both ends. A reasonably priced, reliable alternative to natural cork.
This is the metal pilfer-proof cap usually used to seal beer bottles but also used in the production of Champagne and sparkling wine when wines are stored under crown cap before the dosage is added. A few producers use crown caps to seal wine bottles. Open with a standard bottle opener.
May 2013
Jamie Goode has written an excellent book on the subject of closures for those wishing to find out more (Wine Bottle Closures, Flavour Press).
Alcohol by volume%
Units per standard bottle
The Society includes the alcohol by volume percentage figure for each wine available online, in Lists and offers.
It is generally accepted that alcohol levels in wine have been increasing in the last 20 years. There are many reasons why, but the single most important factor is the vast improvement in vineyard management techniques which have resulted in healthier, riper fruit being harvested. Alcohol is a bi-product of the fermentation of sugars in the grapes and the best-quality wines are made from grapes that have reached physiological ripeness (colour, flavour and tannin), and this generally happens after sugar ripeness.
There are several techniques that can be used to reduce alcohol levels but currently most are intrusive and strip flavour as well as alcohol and we don't buy wines made in this way. In actual fact, more than half of our still table wines have an abv of 13% or less. Members looking to choose wines with lower levels of alcohol can now search our range by level of alcohol.
Excellent-quality wine is at the heart of everything we do at The Wine Society and balance is the single most important feature of quality. The interaction of a wine's main components of sugar, acidity, tannin, alcohol and flavour matter more than the actual level of alcohol. A well-made wine of 14.5%, for example, will taste more balanced than an inferior-quality wine with 10% alcohol. Furthermore, alcohol levels are only a guide to a wine's fullness: a 12.5% cabernet sauvignon may feel heavier and more full-bodied in the mouth than, say, a gamay of 13.5%. Members should refer to the wine's tasting note for a description of the style and fullness of the wine.
The Society is committed to promoting the responsible enjoyment of wines and spirits by providing relevant information to our members that allows them to make their own informed choices. An additional figure is beginning to be used on labels: the number of (UK) units of alcohol contained in that bottle. This is simply the alcohol by volume percentage multiplied by the content. Thus a 13% wine in a standard 75cl bottle will have 9.7 units of alcohol. The UK government recommends that men do not regularly exceed 3-4 units a day, and that women do not regularly exceed 2-3 units a day. It also recommends that pregnant women do not drink alcohol. All new labels of Society and Exhibition wines will include this information. drinkaware.co.uk
The Society's buyers provide recommended drink dates for all of our wines to help members decide the right time to pop the cork.
Drinking now
Should be drunk over the coming months, certainly within the year.
Now to 2016
Ready to drink now but will keep until 2016.
2018 to 2042
We recommend keeping longer before opening. In 2018 it will be ready to drink but still young and will keep until 2042. It's a matter of personal taste when such wines should be drunk. Many members prefer to try the wines over many years from the opening drink date to the last to watch the wine evolve.
Within one year of purchase
A non-vintage wine that should be drunk within 12 months.
Within two years of purchase
A non-vintage wine that is ready now but will keep for two years.
As a general rule, most everyday white wines are best enjoyed within a year of purchase, and most everyday reds within two years.
Certain fine wines, however, those with the right structure and balance, have the ability to evolve over time and gain complexity and finer nuances of flavour.
Savouring the wonderfully complex and intense bouquet and flavour of a wine drank at its peak is undoubtedly one of life's greatest pleasures. As with people, the ageing process will vary from wine to wine. Over the years the wine's primary aromas of fresh fruit will develop more complicated and persistent secondary and tertiary aromas. The fruity flavours of, for example, a premier cru white Burgundy will, over time, evolve buttery, toasty and yeast aromas, or fine reds may develop coffee, cedar, tobacco, vegetal, or even 'animal' flavours as they age.
There is much pleasure to be had by experimenting with bottles at different stages of maturity; finding out how a wine evolves with age and, perhaps more importantly, establishing your own preference in terms of taste for mature wine are all part of the interest and excitement of cellaring wine.
The drinking window we provide is a guide to when the wines will be at their best. Many will favour the wines in the youthful early stages of their development; others will enjoy the wines at their most mature.
Decanting is a useful way of softening the tannins, rounding out the flavours and releasing the potential of a young wine. To find out more please visit our Serving Wine guide.
The Society's purpose-built, temperature-controlled Members' Reserves offers members access to optimum storage conditions for their wines.

Undamming the Elwha
Elwha River Update
An Undammed River's Sediment Brings New Life Downstream
About 3 million cubic yards of sediment have been flushed down the Elwha River since dam removal began in 2011. That's only 16 percent of what's expected to move downstream in the next five years.
About the Documentary
It begins as a glacier. Then a trickle. The Elwha builds into a swift river, rushing through the temperate rain forests of Olympic National Park.
For the last 100 years, two hydroelectric dams have blocked this river and severed its migrating salmon from many miles of prime spawning habitat upstream. The Elwha's salmon have all but disappeared.
Now, the dams are coming down in the largest dam removal project ever attempted and the second-largest environmental restoration effort in U.S. history. What happens here could decide the fate of future restoration projects around the country and the world.
Undamming the Elwha follows the journey of the Elwha river from the day it was dammed to the day it was set free once again. This KCTS Television original documentary is a co-production of KCTS Television and EarthFix.
Science Café: Elwha River Dam Removal
Empire of Dirt Gives Way to the Return of the Salmon
Scientists Measure What Dams Have Done to the Elwha
Welcoming Coho to the Upper Elwha River
The removal of the dam had been indeed spawned a variety of reactions from the masses. Environmentalists are happy that the natural order will be restored to make sure that the salmons do have a chance to survive in the Elwha.
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Australian Shareholder Center
Folks should visit the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park for an Exhibit on the Elwha Dam removal, Voices of the Elwha

Hello Brian,

Hope this helps.
KCTS 9 Staff
Thank you so very much for making this excellent film. Watching your film I couldn't help but realize the ecological, emotional, spiritual and personal impact that this historic dam removal will make. It is a reunion of the land, water, fish, forest and people. It brings home to me the importance of being wise about our resources and to do all we can to preserve it.
Your film is very well done. Sharing your film with the world will give hope to others and remind us humans that we can do what is good for Mother Nature and ourselves by showing our appreciation for her.
After attending the Central Library showing, there were a few comments I would care to add. I'm presuming the intended audience for this film is local, but believe the film would benefit from more detail at the beginning, such as the actual location of the dam(s), and a map of the river and the direction of its flow.
This is a local tribal and Port Angeles issue, but it is ALSO A NATIONAL ISSUE AND A NATIONAL PROJECT. In addition to the details above, the film would benefit from the basic, simple explanation for dismantling the dam(s) since this is the first project of its kind anywhere. There is a simple summary on another website of how, for example, the water is removed first. I do believe some simple facts like this could enhance even tribal and school interest.
Thanking you for this opportunity to add these comments.
Thank you for presenting this project.
It is so refreshing to see projects that span election time frames :)
I was able to watch this program the other night and found it to be a very exciting event. Not just for our Tribal people and the salmon, but to see nature restored to its original state. Sometimes we can just close our eyes and dream of how the banks looked way way back then. My river has a dam or two above it and can't wait for them to be removed. May it be by man or nature taken over what a site it will be. Thanks for sharing this historical event.
Thank you for sharing the non-HD site. I was able to stream the video there with no interruptions.
That's good information for me since I will not be able to record the program tonight. Is there, or will there be, a video available? This is something I would like to show to a couple of groups.
Hi Skip, The documentary will air again on Sunday, April 22 -- Earth Day -- at 5 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

At the Fireside Bed and Breakfast in Breckenridge, surrounded by her British memorabilia, Niki Harris business is being affected by American politics back in Washington.
"Every year is different," Harris said. "So, it's hard to predict how it's going to go."
While her rooms are being booked on her reservations grid, there are a lot of blank squares showing a big empty block in mid-December.
"That little square is a bed, an empty bed," Harris said. "[I'm] hoping that it fills up."
According to Ralf Garrison and the Mountain Travel Research Group (MTRiP), the slowing trend at ski area's nationwide is in part due to bipartisan D.C. gridlock. Bookings are down 4 percent.
"Ski vacations in particular are based on two variables: snow and economy," Garrison said. "Those are both in play this season."
Ski tourists are holding on tight to their money, worried that Republicans and Democrats won't get along and send our economy tumbling.
"The conversation has now moved to this fiscal cliff at the end of the year, and that gives consumers pause about spending discretionary dollars," Garrison said.
If that trend continues, it could mean better room deals around the holidays.

Check out yesterdays practice notes with regard to WR injury....
Nine players missed practice on Wednesday, including tackles Mike Adams (ankle) and Willie Colon (knee), receiver s Antonio Brown (ankle), Emmanuel Sanders (shoulder) and Mike Wallace (knee), safeties Ryan Clark (hip) and Troy Polamalu (not injury related), cornerback Ike Taylor (ankle), and linebacker LaMarr Woodley (ankle).
I think that Cotchery gets the nod if he is healthy....
plax is old, has clumsy hands and runs HORRIBLE routes. For his height, he refuses to jump and high point a ball. Typically the closer the ball get to him, the more his legs give out and he sags to the ground.
He has 'some' remaining speed for his age and size. And appears to be willing to do anything to keep a job, which is always good.
But Cotch is signed and a very positive player. He gets the job done routinely. Very good no.3/4 WR.
Wallace and Plax both had 8 TD's last year.
Jerricho > Plaxico.
But since Brown, Wallace, and Sanders all missed practice on Wednesday, I think we dress 5 WR's this week. Normally it would be an issue that your #5 WR doesn't play on ST's, but your #1 WR does contribute on special teams, so I guess that balances itself out.
Final Ruthless Mock:
1.22 CB Marcus Peters, 6'0" 197 lbs., Washington
2.56 FS Damarious Randall, 5'11" 196 lbs., Arizona State
3.87 TE Clive Walford, 6'4" 251 lbs., Miami
4.121 DE Henry Anderson, 6'6" 294 lbs., Stanford
5.160 WR Titus Davis, 6'1" 196 lbs., Central Michigan
6.199 OLB Kyle Emanuel, 6'3" 255 lbs., North Dakota State
6.212c OLB Max Valles, 6'5" 251 lbs., Virginia
7.239 RB John Crockett, 6'0" 217 lbs., North Dakota State

This week, the US Supreme Court turned down a request for an injunction that would have closed two locks leading to Lake Michigan. The request by the state of Michigan was aimed at blocking invasive Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes. Opponents of the lock closures cited a potential large cost to the shipping industry, as well as the uncertainty of being able to prevent the carp's movements via lock closures.
A larger case, still up for consideration by the court, seeks to re-open a 90-year old decision involving diversion of water from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River. We'll talk about the carp and Great Lakes water issues.

William Horlick, an English American, manufactured the first malted milk—and thus the first dried whole milk with a shelf life—in 1883, in Wisconsin. In England, malt was considered nutritious due to its sugar, B vitamins, and mineral content, and was added to various foods, including cocoa drinks. Even the original Joy of Cooking lists malt as an ingredient for a chocolate drink to give it extra food value. Possible nutritional worth aside, this is a drink with an old fashioned flavor.
Put the cream and milk in a small saucepan. Scrape the vanilla seeds from the bean into the pan and then add the bean. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Strain the milk through a sieve into a clear 1-quart vessel. Add the malt syrup and the chocolate.
Blend with an immersion blender until the chocolate has melted and the drink is smooth.
Pour into cups and serve.

YIELD: about 8 people
IngredientsFor the cake
- 1 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
- 1 2/3 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cups egg whites (about 13 large egg whites)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon rosewater (available at specialty foods shops) if desired
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon grenadine syrup
- fresh raspberries for garnish
- mint sprigs for garnish
Make the cake:
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Sift the flour 3 times onto a sheet of wax paper. Sift together the sifted flour and 2/3 cup of the sugar onto another sheet of wax paper. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites until they are frothy, add the salt and the cream of tartar, and beat the mixture until it barely forms soft peaks. Beat in the remaining 1 cup of sugar, a little at a time, the rosewater, and the vanilla and beat the mixture until it holds soft peaks. Sift one fourth of the flour mixture over the whites, fold it gently but thoroughly, and sift and fold in the remaining flour mixture in the same manner. Spoon the batter into a very clean, ungreased tube pan, 10 by 8 1/4 by 4 1/4 inches, preferably with a removable bottom, smoothing the top, and rap the pan on a hard surface twice to remove any air bubbles. Bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until it is springy to the touch and a tester comes out clean. If the pan has feet invert it over a work surface; otherwise invert it over the neck of a bottle. Let the cake cool for at least 2 hours or overnight. Run a thin knife in a sawing motion around the edge of the pan and the tube to loosen the cake from the pan and invert the cake onto a cake plate.
Make the glaze:
In a small bowl stir together with a fork the confectioner's sugar, the lemon juice, and the grenadine syrup until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the glaze over the cake, let the cake stand for 10 minutes, or until the glaze is set, and garnish it with the raspberries and the mint.

The elephant in the room is getting larger by the day, and Boeing is paying in reputation and future customer loyalty today, and potentially near catastrophic financial implications as time goes on. This makes Apple's issues with 'antennae gate' and Apple 'mapsgate' look like a walk in the park compared to Boeing's fallout with 'batterygate.' Hope they can work it all out without a complete re-engineering and re-cert required.
Nice article. The MIT professor has some great ideas, but I do hope his '787 grounded til 2014' prediction doesn't pan out. That would be a total nightmare fore Boeing and the 787 customers.
I think the worst-case scenario for Boeing would be that they spend time engineering a solution for the existing Lithium Ion batteries, go through length testing and certification, and that the FAA bans the batteries as a precautionary step -- then it's back to square one.
I'm not sure how much weight the new batteries save compared to the models used in the past, but it has to be negligible in relation to the overall usable payload weight. Trying to save a few dozen pounds seems foolish.
Please note that Boeing has not indicated that this is a solution they are contemplating, but given their danger and the face that Lithium-Ion batteries may be banned from the cargo hold, this may be a prudent step.
I read that there are only 2 batteries of the new technology on the 787. What is normal number of batteries on a 767 or 777? Is it that much of a weight savings to implement lithium ion vs old technology?
The Forbes article on which the CNET article is based (and references), has more detailed information. The cobalt oxide chemistry was also the same chemistry used in the Dell laptops which experienced a few battery fires. I also wonder if the Boeing batteries are kept sufficiently cool when the plane sits empty on a hot summer day in the sun, then brought over and used. The Boeing battery fires all happened during the northern hemisphere's winter, which makes it all the more puzzling.
Neither of the professors ideas sound quick to implement - active battery cooling or switching battery technology, then manufacturing and getting the replacement certified. The original battery technology underwent more than 1 million hours of testing during the certification process.
With the battery technology being so new, it's just unfortunate a backup was not considered beforehand.
Has to be an easier way...could boeing really lay this big of an egg on this? 1 million hours of research/testing?
Losses in the billions for the airlines and penalties in the billions that Boing is facing, too bad really. But if previous battery systems run very well in other aircraft I don't think that a lengthy certification procedure has to be followed when used them on 787s. However another matter is manufacturing time as anytbhing like this is not found at Target or Cotsco, they habve to be built from scratch.
Ouch 50 250 million dollar planes sunbathing in the desert for a year? Boeing better have a great butt kissing plan or it might be a great year for an Airbus salesman.
If the 787 is grounded why is ANA still flying it from Tokyo to Frankfurt up over Siberia?
It's the data Flightaware is getting...the flight is being operated by 777-200ER, registration JA716A. All 787's are still grounded.
Interestingly, when you look at the track by registration number http://flightaware.com/live/flight/JA716A/history/20130128/1610Z/RJTT/EDDF it shows 787 even though it is a 777.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI Introduction
Patient Comment Read 1 Comment
History of MRI
Working independently, Felix Bloch of Stanford University and Edward Purcell of Harvard University made the first successful nuclear magnetic resonance experiment to study chemical compounds in 1946. Dr Bloch and Dr Purcell were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1952. In the early 1980s, the first "human" magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners became available, producing images of the inside of the body. Current MRI scanners produce highly detailed two-dimensional and three-dimensional images of the human anatomy.

This short film competition is as far from the mainstream as 90-Minute I.P.A. is from a mass-produced macro-rice brew!
Each year, the short film competition component of the Off-Centered Film Festival is a time for filmmakers and beer enthusiasts alike to come together and find common ground. The rules: Each entry had to include Dogfish Head and be generally "off-centered," and this year each entry also had to have a "hip-hop" twist. With so much room for interpretation, we had a wide array of fantastic entries from all over the world!
Speaking of which: THANK YOU to EVERYONE who took time to get out a video camera, bugged their friends and drank beer for the sake of a great Off-Centered short film entry! It was a trill year for both the quality and the quantity of submissions and, as you can imagine, it was tough to narrow the field down.
The jury has already selected the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place films, which will receive cash and prizes to be announced at the April 20th screening. We're flying down all of the winners to be on hand for the announcement and to show them all a good Austin time while they are in town for the festival!
SO… wet your whistle with hip-hop beer shorts (heavy on the hops) and join us for a fun evening hosted by Dogfish Head's Sam Calagione. There is always some wild stuff on screen, so you're going to want to see it all with a crowd and a tasty special Dogfish Head beer! The films this year are all over the place in terms of off-centeredness and a total blast to watch.
Since this is a film AND beer festival, there will also be amazingly rare Dogfish Head beers available at the screening. Be there for the exciting conclusion to learn who will take the glory and the copious booty of First, Second, and Third places.
Get your tickets now – hop to it!
