Many photographers first pick up a camera and head out to the streets to capture people in their own city. Well before there are studio lights to consider, models to coach, wardrobes and makeup to style, or locations to scout, there is only a photographer and the streets. Henri Cartier-Bresson is perhaps the earliest and most well known street photographer. Born in France in 1908, Henri created "surreal" images that would later become known as a photojournalistic approach to photography. His most well known publication, The Decisive Moment, features historic images from both the East and the West during his coverage of Gandhi's funeral, the end of the Chinese Civil War, and the liberation of Indonesia from the Dutch. In this short documentary, Henri describes his ideas on portraits and photojournalism and how he thinks subjects are best approached. I love the psychology of photography presented in this video; what do you guys think?

So many wonderful insights and quotes. I loved this video!
While I was watching the video, it was all like everything all around stopped and my mind was accepting only the pictures and his pleasant voice. A true mental experience…
I felt the same, it was like time stopped for the duration of the film... I get this every time I have the privilege of listening to a genius (of photography in this case).
It amazes me how they create absolutely wonderful things as easy as breathing.
I was fortunate enough to visit "The Modern Century" exhibit at MoMA and was blown away by his work. It was quite impressive up close and in person. The local school library has a copy of "The Decisive Moment" and I recommend that all photographers read his intro to the book. It would be nice to see it printed again.
I'm glad to see we all felt the same way while watching this clip. I literally stopped and rethought how to compose better shots. The fact that he WAITED for the right shot, just blew my mind at his patience for perfect. He waited over an hour looking at a guy and only took 6 shots.
@themsquaredgroup:disqus "The fact that he WAITED for the right shot, just blew my mind at his patience for perfect."
Street photography is, for me, like fishing.... you either trawl the street with a wider lens or you pick the best spot in the 'river' and wait. Patience is everything. It's something I teach my photography students through taking them back off of the machine-gun methodology of digital [shoot-look-delete-shoot-look-delete] and having them only shoot 36frames for a whole day, without deleting anything. I don't miss film, most of the time, but the discipline that came with a medium that cost you money every time you pressed the button is something that is worthwhile to reclaim.
Awesome video.
What I learned most from HCB is what I learned by looking at his contact-sheets, through which you can see the mental processes developing from shot to shot.
His greatest joy... geometry!
Reminds me of Rush's Hemispheres... the two halves of the brain. The sensuous and the analytic."Yes, yes, yes!"
I have been somewhat familiar with the work of HCB but after this video i realize his views on photography resonate mine to a great degree. I am floored. Buying his books asap.

Principles, Practices and Effects
Edited by Taco Brandsen, Willem Trommel, Bram Verschuere
|Publication Date
|May 2014
|Hardcover Ebook (EPUB) Ebook (PDF)
|Palgrave Macmillan
|Governance and Public Management
Faced with declining social cohesion, more and more governments are trying to revitalise society by attempting to reconstruct local communities, civil society and citizenship. One way to do this is to share public responsibilities with organized citizens and third sector organisations. As a result, relationships with citizens, communities and third sector organisations are increasingly brought within the realm of public management, subject to accountability procedures, embedded in hierarchical structures, included in arenas for competition and contracting. This volume examines the emergence of this new type of governance, exploring the dynamics, effectiveness and appropriateness of this governmental response to the fragmentation of modern social life.

Milla – After a look at the cover last week, here is the main editorial for Elle Ukraine's July issue starring model and actress Milla Jovovich. The dark-haired beauty was photographed by Eric Guillemain (2b Management) in a sunny series of outdoor images. Stylist Marine Braunschvig selected elegant designs from labels such as Valentino, Louis Vuitton and Lanvin for Milla to wear for the summer spread. / Makeup by Sabina Bedrani @ Tracey Mattingly, Hair by Ramona Eschbach @ Jed Root

Milla is still One of the rare and best Models on the planet.
fans aside, I don't think Milla is looking at all good here, kinda flabby and not connected. Some of the clothes really are quite awful!
Milla's looking a bit out of it in some shots, but otherwise it's an OK editorial. I only wish they would have included more colorful clothes instead of so much white.
Eric's name excited me but this doesn't deliver. Milla is really hit and miss for me.

Are you guys using any stuff from 1510 build?
This member has provided no bio about themself...
Are you guys using any stuff from 1510 build?
Could you plz tell me: will the hands be visible while driving a vehicle?It will be possible to mark a point on the map where you got your stash for example and name it? and will the players arms look the same in every suit?
Why are there no space marine bikes?
Okay I understand and one more question: are you planning to add new buildings as well as units in next versions of FoK?? Your Honor Guard models are amazing btw
Love the details :D Maybe tactical marines should have some kind of knifes/blades to use in close combat instead of their bolters or is it against codex??
Emperor is proud of your team for making this amazing mod(he thinks the HUD should be a little bit smaller).The next release will be for soul storm ?
This is going to be an awesome mod!I only hope the items,quests,skills and the rest will be as good as those maps.
Ok thanks for answer.
Will the mod be finished this summer?
Surely one of the best mods for M&B :)
WTF its 2009 why its not done yet
Stalker.filefront.com its russian mod but this one is translated. You can also try this one Youtube.com if you like higher difficulty levels, and it has all the mods making the game more realistic.There is download link in the description.
Maybe it sounded strange but I meant adding something similar to those things from AMK after getting permission :P.
With all these maps and features unfinished or cut out from the Stalker this is going to be amazing mod, you guys should also check out AMK mod it has lot of interesting features you should consider adding to Lost Alpha.
Hi man plz tell when exactly will the new version of 1257... be released, i just cant wait to play it!!

PS youre doing great job

This is an easy curry. It's rich, creamy, mildly spiced and extremely flavourful. Serve with naan and rice.
This omelette is delicious and can be eaten hot or at room temperature. It is a very versatile recipe, as almost anything can be added to it – a handy way of using left over food. Serve with toasted bread and sliced tomatoes and/or a leafy salad for a hearty, healthy breakfast.
This dish is flavoured with a hint of bay leaf and enriched with a little olive oil instead of butter. In classic German fashion, serve it with sausage.
This is a quick fix I make for my daughter when she goes away to college.
This is one of my favourite recipes which I learnt from my mother a couple years ago.
This is my mothers' recipe for aloo kofta. I have made this at many parties and there are never any leftovers. I have had many requests for the recipe. So here goes.
This is a very simple yet delicious sabji. I love eating this with some rasam and rice on the side. You can use other vegetables such as plaintains or sweet potatoes too.
I absolutely love this dish! It reminds me of fresh methi that used to grow in my garden in Allahabad! The aroma of this dish makes me nostalgic and homesick!
Great for breakfast with curd and pickle or a special dinner with curry.
This is one of my favourite kooras. I think we call it upma koora because the tadka ingredients are what we use for upma.

The Bucket List
One not so recent movie, but it touched my heart with the beautiful story for the power of the human spirit.
Cover of The Bucket List
I "stumbled" into this movie a week ago while wondering what to watch in order to waste some time until the hour I had to go pick up my daughter from the kindergarten. I didn't have a job back then and I was at home all day. While surfing the IMDB for what's new and worth watching, I saw an article about this film, "The Bucket List", and it grabbed my attention. So I found it and decided to give it a chance, not to mention that two of my all time favorite actors were playing the main characters in the movie – Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
The storyline is simple, but the lessons to be learned are nearly divine. First I would like to start with the Bulgarian translation of the title, since it will help me continue. The translation of the title made for the Bulgarian audience was "Kick the bell with refinement". To kick the bell with refinement is the decision two middle-aged patients make while admitted to the oncology ward at the hospital. One of the patients is an irritable millionaire called Edward, played by Jack Nicholson. The other patient is an erudite mechanic called Carter, played by Morgan Freeman. Nothing in common between them, except for the hospital room they share. The two men learn they have terminal cancer on the same day and the horrible news reverses their whole world and notion of everything around them. In their first hours together they barely exchange two words but after that they slowly begin to build a fragile friendship. So, they write up a so called "Bucket list" – a list of all the things they want to do before they die. They make that list and rush to fulfill their dreams. Of course, there isn't any financial issue because the millionaire Edward decides to fund the adventure since he realizes there's no point of taking his fortune in the afterworld. So, the two friends begin their journey around the world, without knowing where it would take them eventually.
Skydiving? They go for it.
Speed racing with Shelby Mustang on the race track? Why not?
Going to the top of the Hephaestus pyramid in Egypt? It's not mission impossible.
Visiting Taj Mahal? One thing anyone should do.
Safari? OK, but don't get scared of beasts…
Climbing the Himalayas? Well, if we can't do it while we live, our ashes will rest there in a simple coffee can…
The two friends find the simple joys of life before it's too late. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, two brilliant actors, put their hearts and souls in this celebration of life. The movie is very easy and relaxing to watch, being a solemnity of the human spirit of the inevitable death, and shows us that the perfect moment is HERE and NOW.
great article and layout. nice to read. thanks for sharing

New single-family home sales churned at the fastest clip in six years during the month of August, and saw the biggest month-over-month jump since January 1992. [more]
Posts Tagged 'new home sales'
The pace of new home sales fell 2.4% to an annualized rate of 412,000 units in July. Economists were expecting a pace of 429,000 units.
June's report, however, was revised up to 422,000 from an earlier estimate of 406,000. The median sales price was $269,800, and the average price was $339,100. According to the Census, there is a 6.0 month supply of homes available for sale, up from 5.6 months in June. [more]
Weak October U.S. home sales, discord among lawmakers over the federal budget and debt and the uncertainty of ongoing economic recovery have homebuilders uneasy about the upcoming winter and spring seasons.
New home sales dipped 8 percent in October from September, and 6 percent from the same month in 2012, according to John Burns Real Estate Consulting's monthly survey, cited by the Wall Street Journal. The tumble marked the second consecutive month of falling year-over-year numbers, and the first such falters since early 2011. [more]
The latest figures on new U.S. home sales were less than thrilling, but the lackluster numbers may have the unexpected perk of lowering new home prices. [more]
Sales of new single-family homes were up in July, according to the latest estimates from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Census Bureau, released today. The numbers represent an increase of 6.8 percent, to 394,000 from 369,000, in July 2012. However, the figure is 13.4 percent lower than the June 2013 total of 455,000. [more]
New single-family home sales spiked last month, according to a release issued by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. September's numbers have reached their highest level since April 2010, when a first-time buyer tax credit gave sales got a boost, Reuters reported.
Sales gained 5.7 percent in September to a seasonally adjusted rate of 389,000 units. August's number initially came in at 373,000 units, as The Real Deal previously reported, but was revised down to 368,000. Year-over-year, September's seasonally adjusted rate shows a 27.1 percent year-over-year gain. [more]
The housing market still has a pulse, experts say. Purchases of new U.S. single-family homes slipped 0.3 percent month-over-month and 27.7 percent year-over-year to a seasonally adjusted rate of 373,000 in August, according to data released today by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Despite the slight fall from July, when the revised rate came in at 374,000, the numbers remain close to the two-year high. [more]
Tom Porcelli, RBC's chief economistShowing some positive signs, the number of nationwide sales of newly built, single-family homes posted a 3.6 percent month-over-month rise in July, according to data released today by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau. Homes were sold at a seasonally adjusted rate of 372,000 (see video after the jump). … [more]
Nationwide sales of new single-family homes plummeted 8.4 percent in June, according to data released today by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. Homes were sold at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 350,000, which remains 15.1 percent above the rate during June 2011 (see video after the jump).
This month's dramatic decline offsets a huge increase reported in May that ballooned by an additional 3.5 percent, to 382,000, in a revised estimate released today, exacerbating the sales declines. … [more]
McMansions, a housing type left for dead following the real estate crash, powered yesterday's positive new home sales report, builders told the Wall Street Journal. During the recession the average size of U.S. homes shrunk 3.4 percent to 2,382 square feet, but in 2011 the average size actually grew 5.2 percent to 2,505 square feet. [more]
Based on last months' new homes sales data, the housing recovery is still on shaky ground. According to the U.S. Commerce Department, sales of new single-family homes fell 1.6 percent between January and February to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 313,000. That is 11.4 percent above February 2011's figure, but the lowest recorded since October. [more]
Sales of new homes in January decreased from a December crescendo, but remained far above last year's levels, according to a report released today by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Twenty-two thousand new homes were sold in January, for a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 321,000, 0.9 percent less than the adjusted rate from December, but 3.5 percent greater than the rate in January 2011. [more]
Sales of newly built, single-family homes declined 2.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 295,000 units in August, according to data from the U.S. Commerce Department released today, a decline from 302,000 in July.
The inventory of new homes for sale fell to 162,000 units in August, a new record low. However, due to the slower sales pace, the month's supply of new homes rose slightly, to 6.6 percent. –– Miranda Neubauer

After a positive April, new U.S. home sales fell by 2.1 percent in May 2011, according to data released today by the Department of Commerce. Sales of new single-family homes were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 319,000, still 13.5 percent more than the 281,000 rate achieved in May 2010. This month's tally marks the third best rate of home sales recorded in the last 13 months, but continues the up-and-down trend of new home sales experienced over the last year. … [more]
In a small boost for the flailing housing market, U.S. sales of new single-family homes rose by 11.1 percent in March 2011 to 300,000, exceeding the appalling February low of 270,000. They still fell, however, 21.9 percent lower than the same figures last year, according to data released today by the Commerce Department. The median sales price of new homes sold in March 2011 was $213,800 compared with $207,700 in February; the average sales price was $246,800. The seasonally adjusted estimate of new homes for sale at the end of March was 183,000. That represents a supply of 7.3 months at the current sales rate. Sales were up 66.7 percent in the Northeast, and down only 0.6 percent in the South since February.TRD

Even as new U.S. home sales plunged to a record low in February, home builder Lennar Corp. posted an unexpected profit for the three months that ended Feb. 28 thanks to cost-cutting measures and investments in distressed real estate assets, the Miami-based company said this morning. Lennar's net income for the first quarter of $27.4 million, or 14 cents per share, well above analysts' predictions of a loss of 7 cents per share. Analysts told Bloomberg News that the boost came largely from its Rialto Capital subsidiary, which was launched in 2007 to focus on distressed properties and loan workouts and was responsible for $11 million in operating income during the first quarter. … [more]
Even though sales are lethargic in the new home market nationwide, home builder stocks are hanging tough, according to CNNMoney. Despite a 17 percent drop in the number of new homes sold between February and January, major U.S. home builders like Ryland, KB Home and Lennar have seen their shares stay relatively flat recently, while PulteGroup actually saw its shares climb 3 percent. Ryan Detrick, a senior technical strategist with Schaffer's Investment Research, said he's encouraged by the builders' stock performance. "I'm not saying you should go buy a house because nobody knows where prices are going," Detrick said. "But even though the data is terrible, builder stocks are holding up." [CNNMoney]
Sales of new U.S. single-family homes rose to their highest level in eight months in December, after surging 17.5 percent over the rate of new home sales recorded the month before, according to the latest report from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. As 2010 came to a close, new homes were selling at an annual rate of 329,000 — 7.6 percent below the December 2009 rate of 356,000 — with a median price of $241,500. Overall, there were 321,000 new homes sold in 2010 at a median price of $221,900. TRD
New home sales improved last month across the country, but at a slower rate than some housing analysts had expected. According to the Department of Commerce's November figures, released today, sales of new single-family homes were at an annual rate of 290,000 — 5.5 percent above October's rate but 21.2 percent below that of November 2009, when 368,000 such properties were selling per year.

nice hotel but......
The room was cheap and of a reasonable size.
The main room was clean but the bathroom smelled very mildewy. Nice friendly staff. The main downside was the "breakfast" which was toast or cereal. I dunno. I kinda expected more.

Good location if Cardiff centre too expensive
Half the price of the city centre and there is a train service which including getting to the station is only 30 minutes.

The most pathetic room I have ever stayed in !
It was the most pathetic room we have ever stayed in, the room was not having anything functional, TV was also not working.
They did not have basic courtesy to inform us about the breakfast venue. We kept on banging the doors and no-one showed up. After long struggle we could locate the correct way to breakfast room and no-one, I repeat no-one was there at breakfast table to help the guests out. We paid a good sum of money and expected some hospitality. It was at the farthest corner of Berry town which is more than 1.5 hours away from Cardiff. Apart from this all the night it was very very noisy and we could not get a proper sleep either. I will never ever recommend this hotel to anyone at all. We travelled to almost entire Europe, India and UK but this is the worst ever hotel I have seen.. Very overly priced.. never ever stay here if you have a choice of spend night at footpath even.

Rugby weekend
Wales away
We booked the Tadross as all other options in Cardiff were either too expensive or unavailable.
I went with a friend and we both had a room each. I was the lucky one as my room was at least clean with a made up bed, whereas my friends wasn't?. The staff are friendly and its a straight forward kind of place. Ideal for men on a Rugby trip who arrive at check in after midnight but definately not romantic. It is what it is, a working pub with rooms.

Hangout @ Mt Emily
Great value for midrange dorms
What we say:
Hangout @ Mount Emily is set atop a small hill named Emily, funnily enough, and is a 20-minute walk from both Orchard Road and Little India.
This is a mid-density, quite upmarket residential area, which means you're a long walk to hawker centres and points of interest. But this is a spacious, multi-floor affair, delivering on airy dorms (no bunks!) along with well-sized private rooms. There's also a rooftop garden deck area with sun loungers, which, while lacking a pool, does have a peculiar shower-waterfall thing (like a grown-up's splash pool?), good to stand under to cool off. It's also pleasantly cool come the evening (as long as it isn't heaving with rain).
Just beyond the hostel you'll reach Mount Emily Park which once housed a public swimming pool. The pool was filled in some years ago, apparently due to security concerns as the Palace (the president's house) is straight across the road — you can see the top of it from some of the private rooms in the hostel.
The vibe Hangout exudes is hip and breezy, with a fresh citrus-y minimalist theme. Rooms and dorms are immaculate affairs, with cheery bright walls and furniture. They're also capacious — these are the only dorms we saw in Singapore that have single beds, not bunks — with a reading light, safe and some cupboards and hangers for your clothes. Bathrooms are shared, with hot-water showers and, like the dorms, plenty of room.
The upper floors have a selection of double and triple rooms with private bathrooms. We were shown two corner units and they were equally bright and airy affairs with windows lining the walls. Absolutely immaculate throughout, including the bathrooms, these are standout value — and the triples could be a good fit for travelling families whose budget will stretch this far.
On the second floor is a main common area, with a large flatscreen TV, some cushioned seating, a coffee machine and a few internet terminals. There isn't really much in the way of desk space, though there is a bench you can set up on, or a couple of tables outside. Otherwise you're up on the roof — pack your sunscreen.
Staff are helpful and quite knowledgeable on the area — though that isn't all that much of a feat as, well, there isn't all that much in the immediate surrounds here, save Mount Emily Park.
If you can't face another pod or a squeaking metal framed bunk, Hangout could be just the medicine you're looking for. Despite the envious rooftop area, this isn't a party hostel though you are welcome to go grab some cold drinks at a 7-eleven and lug them back up the hill to the hostel. The hostel attracts a mixed crowd of older couples and young backpackers on their first hit through Southeast Asia.
The on-site restaurant is open for the Western (complimentary) breakfast, plus lunch and dinner. Prices are mid-range, but you're probably better off walking into town for a feed.
Once you know the back way, this is an easy hostel to reach — from Selegie Road walk up Wilkie Road and after five minutes or so, you'll reach a pathway and set of stairs running up to your right. There are a few signs there, though confusingly none for Hangout. Climb the stairs and the hostel is immediately on your left at the top. You can't miss it.
The closest SMRT stations are Dhoby Ghaut and Little India — but both are a solid 20-minute walk away. For first timers to Southeast Asia, this is a recommended spot to ease yourself into the scene. If you'd prefer to be in a more lively area consider Bunc in Little India or Adler Hostel in Chinatown. Reservations are recommended.

Adolescents' Perceptions and Experiences of Death and Grieving
Morin, Suzanne M., Welsh, Lesley A., Adolescence
By the time an individual has reached adolescence, it is likely that he or she has been exposed to death. Some adolescents encounter it through a personal loss, such as the death of grandparents, parent, or even a peer. However, even those who have not experienced a direct loss, have some experiences and perceptions of death. It is virtually a universal experience to be exposed to the sensationalized treatment of death through the media such as television, movies, lyrics, and even video games such as Mortal Kombat. The purpose of this study was to examine adolescents' perceptions and experiences of death and grieving.
The majority of thanatology research on adolescents' reaction to death has focused on the impact of the death of a parent (Gray, 1987; Weller, Weller, Fristad, & Bowes, 1991) or the death of a sibling (Balk, 1990, 1991; Hogan & Balk, 1990; Hogan & Greenfield, 1991). Other researchers have investigated adolescents' grief and bereavement over the death of a peer (Evans, 1982; Gray, 1988; McNeil, Sillimon, & Swihart, 1991) and the impact of suicide (Mauk & Weber, 1991; Solomon, 1982; Zinner, 1987). However, the predominance of research on death has targeted populations known to have experienced a recent loss. This study expands the knowledge base by sampling adolescents' perceptions of death and grieving regardless of their past experience.
Researchers have found that adolescents share the adult concept of death as a universal, inevitable process by which life as we know it terminates (Aiken, 1994; Nagy, 1948; Tallmer, Formanek, & Tallmer, 1974; Sahler, 1978). Gaffney (1988) reports that adolescents are capable of understanding the physiological, psychological, and religious or spiritual aspects of death. A study by Sahler (1978) revealed that adolescents' beliefs about death varied greatly but that "spiritual continuation after death" was the most frequently reported belief. Stricherz & Cunningham (1981-1982) reported that adolescents' concerns centered around losing a person they loved, punishment, and the finality of death.
Individual differences in a person's concept of death may be influenced by many factors such as family and cultural background, life experiences, and environment which are often related to socioeconomic status (SES) and race. Despite the fact that African-Americans constitute 12% of the U.S. population, 50% of murder victims in the U.S. were African-American. Most people arrested were below average SES (U.S. Dept of Justice, 1992). Homicide has been reported as a leading cause of death in African-American men (Aiken, 1994). These statistics consistently indicate that adolescents do have different perceptions and experiences of death that may be as varied as their environments.
According to Tallmer et al. (1974) lower-class children are more aware of the concept of death than are middle-class children. Other researchers indicate that different life experiences contribute to diverse conceptualizations of death (Dunton, 1970). Therefore, it was hypothesized that adolescents from different environments would report different perceptions and experiences of death and grieving.
The sample consisted of 32 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18. Nineteen of the subjects attended a suburban public school, while 13 were in a residential facility which serves urban delinquent youth who have committed nonviolent acts. Thus, this urban sample of nonviolent delinquents and may not be representative of urban nondelinquents. The adolescents from the public high school included 4 males and 15 females. The ethnic composition was 18 Caucasians and one African-American. All 13 of the subjects from the urban sample were African-American males.
The subjects who attended the suburban public high school reported their religious background as: 6 Roman Catholic; 3 Brethren; and 8 Protestant. Two youths did not provide this information. …

Immunology Graduate Program: Overview
Principles of immunology have been applied to create numerous preventative and curative therapeutics for many types of human disease. The Immunology Graduate Program, offered by The University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS), is designed to provide high-quality, comprehensive education and research training in the exciting field of immunology, allowing graduates to successfully pursue careers as independent investigators in academia or industry.
We currently have 48 faculty members from both MD Anderson and The University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston representing 20 departments. Collectively, research conducted by our faculty reflects the complexity and diversity of the immune system. Main areas of faculty research include cancer immunology, infectious diseases, and inflammation with special interests in innate responses, adaptive responses, immune regulation, development of prophylactic vaccines, and development of vaccines or immunotherapy for a form of cancer, allergy or autoimmunity. Faculty members are committed to fostering a highly interactive and supportive environment that enables students to complete our rigorous curriculum and receive advanced training in basic and translational immunology research.
We invite you to view our 2013 Immunology Program Brochure as well as our recent Immunology Newsletter (Fall 2103) to learn more about our research interests, faculty, and students.
Student research projects are challenging and very rewarding; many of our students have earned local and national recognition through awards and fellowships. Over the past 20 years, our program has been the recipient of a National Institutes of Health T32 training grant award, which supports the most competitive graduate programs in the nation.
The "Highlights" section below showcases some of the experimental systems used by our program faculty members in their research.

Re: Photo Stream & Camera Roll using double memory? in response to jmtnewtoapple
Photos are included with the Photo Stream, not videos.
Photo Stream is temporary so if you have an iPhone and iPad, photos captured on one device will be available on the other device automatically and vice-versa. Your Photo Stream can also be accessed on your computer so you can add photos to the stream on your computer making the newly added photos available on each device without having to sync, and for saving photos in the Photo Stream locally on your computer's hard drive without needing to import the photos from the Camera Roll with your computer.
Photos in the Photo Stream as well as in the Camera Roll are taking up double the storage space.
Photo Stream is not a backup.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

Re: Photo Stream & Camera Roll using double memory? in response to Allan Sampson
Im also having storage issues but with my iphone Not to sound like a complete moron, but what is the best way to get my photos and videos from my iphone and ipad imported to my computer? I do not have a Mac computer. I hooked up my iPhone and was able to find photos and copy them to a folder but I'm not sure if videos were also transferred and I wasn't sure if they were coming from my camera roll or phot stream. Does it really make sense to utilize the photo stream? One thing that I have done and highly recommend is downloaded the Shutterfly app, it is so easy to upload your iPhone and iPad pictures to your online site. Thanks for any help and recommendations anyone has for me!

If two nodes are both close to another node (i.e. they have a factor close to 0) then this doesn't mean that they will be close together, although probabilistically they do have a much higher chance of being close together.
The question:
If another node is placed in the set, find the node that it is closest to in the shortest possible amount of time.
This isn't a homework question, this is a real world problem that I need to solve - but I've never taken any algorithm courses etc so I don't have a clue what sort of algorithm I should be researching.
I can index all of the nodes before another one is added and gather closeness data between each node, but short of comparing all nodes to the new node I haven't been able to come up with an efficient solution. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated :)

Overcoming the Impossible
By: Janelle LoBello
Name: Tony Malloy
Just ask 19-year-old Tony Malloy.
Malloy was snowboarding in upstate New York in January of 2010, when one jump changed his life in an instant, resulting in a C5, C6 spinal cord injury.
"I went over a big ramp, and I just went too high in the air," explains Malloy of his fall. "I just fell on my back and the first thing that went through my head is that I couldn't feel my legs. It was scary."
Currently, Malloy is still an outpatient at Kessler Institute of Rehabilitation in West Orange, New Jersey as a Reeve Foundation NeuroRecovery Network (NRN) patient, which he began in the summer of 2010.
The NeuroRecovery Network is a cooperative network of cutting-edge rehabilitation centers designed to provide and develop therapies to promote functional recovery and improve the health and quality of life of people living with paralysis.
"I've seen a lot of improvement since I've started," says Malloy of his two-and-a-half-hours daily workout. "I'm using my legs a lot. I'm using them functionally now, which I wasn't doing before. I'm a lot stronger and a lot more independent."
Other types of therapy Malloy works at are stand retraining and stand adaptability, as one of his physical therapists, Jared Milligan explains.
"Stand retraining is when we try to put him in the proper positioning," says Milligan. "Stand adaptability is when he does most of the work himself. With step retraining we are trying to facilitate as much as possible to get the best pattern. Step adaptability is when he is trying to do as much as he can."
Thanks to his therapies, Malloy is slowly moving away from being dependent on a wheelchair.
"I can stand using a walker," says Malloy of his current progress, "for about 20 or 30 seconds without anyone touching me in the walker. It's not something that I can do functionally yet. I can't use a walker at home, or go walking with it, but I'm moving toward that hopefully. For now I use my legs for transfers and things, but I don't stand all the way up."
Overtime, Malloy has also gained more confidence and is able to live a full a life.
"I've definitely seen a lot of change in Tony since joining the NRN," explains Milligan. "He's gotten so much stronger. From the first day he's been here, as of now, it's been leaps and bounds. If he keeps working, he's going to keep improving, and that's what we like to see. He has a good attitude toward it and he's focused. The focus is not on the past, he is looking ahead. He wants to get where he needs to be, and he will if he keeps doing it the right way."
For anyone who doubts they can overcome the impossible, Malloy simply advises, "Just keep going. Keep Trying. Everyone says this but, don't give up. It's important to just do everything you can to improve your situation."

While shooting a shot of 50 steam tractors withmy #16 camera, a guy walks up to me and says he has a 16 as well, which caught me by surprise. I was talking about film sources, and he mentioned that someone said Kodak had a large stock of 8" verichrome pan in the warehouse that they had run when they decided to finally stop selling verichrome pan in 2002. Well I had to investigate, and found that it seems to have been a just a rumor after all.
But, he said that Kodak is willing to look into doing special order film runs for a $5000.00 minimum. He was very positive about looking into special runs, which included 8" cirkut film, and $5000.00 seems less than past quotes.I find it interesting that Kodak is talking about special orders in a more positive manner.
My question is : Are people interested in spooled 8" B&W cirkut film (not verichrome as it's history). Other sizes? Obviously cost is a factor, but if you've spooled your own you know how much of a pain it is. Who out there has an interest in different cirkut film sizes and want's to buy prespooled film? This is a good place to get together and join forces.
I've also just started a blog specifically for antique pan camera users- cirkuts, panorams, al vistas, etc. It's at http://cirkut.blogspot.com/
Best., Jamie

November 26, 2015
WASHINGTON (April 23, 2013)—The U.S. Transportation Security Administration is delaying implementation of a policy that would allow passengers to carry small knives, bats and other sports equipment onto airliners.
The TSA says the policy change was delayed to accommodate feedback from an advisory committee made up of aviation industry, consumer and law enforcement officials.
John Pistole, head of the Transportation Security Administration, proposed the policy change last month, saying it would free up the agency to concentrate on protecting against greater threats.
TSA screeners confiscate about 2,000 small folding knives from passengers every day.
The policy was to have gone into effect Thursday.
The TSA's statement said the delay was temporary, but no new date for implementation was provided.
Flight attendants' unions oppose the change.

Can the Ford Fusion Hybrid travel 1,000 miles on one tank of gas?
I say no, but that's just me. What do I know, I just spent 10 days driving 3,200 miles in a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. But I'm not hyper-miller Wayne Gerdes or NASCAR driver Carl Edwards who are about to attempt this feat by spending 43 continues hours driving the hybrid a 1,000 miles. Ford states that the car will need to average 57 mpg to achieve the goal, which I guess is… Read More
Video: Ford Active Park Assist demo
I dropped by the NY Auto Show yesterday and checked out this active park assist thing from Ford. I was a little skeptical about a self-parallel parking car, but it is 2009 and I'm pretty sure we were supposed to have flying cars by now. Check out the demo I got in the Lincoln MKS. Read More
Test Drive: 2010 Ford Fiesta
The NY Auto Show kicks off later this week, but we've already seen a few things worth mentioning. We're on the fence about the P.U.M.A., the new GTi from VW is nice (details later today), but the Scirocco would have been a lot cooler and then there's the 2010 Ford Fiesta. Oh yes, the Fiesta from Europe is coming stateside and it's looking pretty mean. We had the chance… Read More

Ford to automate parallel parking with Active Park Assist
Parallel parking is the bane of many student drivers but is an important skill to master. Ford, however, is set to take away all the fun and automate the process in upcoming Lincoln models.

Ford's new dash HUD: very cool
