College Hockey:Hockey East picks – Quarterfinals – March 8-11
Dave has his rally cap on. Let's see if he has enough to complete the comeback!
Jim last week: 7-2-0
Dave last week: 8-1-0
Jim's record-to-date: 116-71-17
Dave's record-to-date: 115-72-17
This week, we'll pick all three games as if they are played. If a game three isn't played, that pick doesn't count. (All series Friday, Saturday, Sunday unless listed)
No. 7 Providence at No. 2 Massachusetts-Lowell (Thurs., Fri., If necessary: Sun.)
Jim's pick: I think it is really difficult to beat a team four straight but at this point I also feel like Lowell and Providence are headed in different directions right now.
UML 5, PC 2; UML 3, PC 2; (if necc.) UML 5, PC 1
Dave's pick: I can see Providence possibly stealing one game with Tim Schaller returning, but I'm still going with the River Hawks.
UML 3, PC 2; UML 4, PC 2; (if necc.) UML 4, PC 2
No. 8 Massachusetts at No. 1 Boston College
Jim's pick: I realize UMass won twice against BC this year. Those games were both at UMass and long before the Eagles went on their current tear.
BC 4, UMass 1; BC 3, UMass 2; (if necc.) BC 5, UMass 1
Dave's pick: No offense to the Minutemen, but I'll be surprised if even a single game is close. BC looks that dominant.
BC 5, UMass 1; BC 4, UMass 1; (if necc.) BC 4, UMass 1
No. 6 New Hampshire at No. 3 Boston University
Jim's pick: This is the one series I see the lower seed having an excellent shot. BU is playing poor, UNH is playing decent. Let's see how far off I can be.
UNH 4, BU 3; BU 5, UNH 3; (if necc.) UNH 3, BU 2
Dave's pick: I'll disagree with Jim over how well these two teams are playing. UNH's past five games include a weekend split with Vermont, a split with UMass, and a loss to Maine. That's not good enough to knock off even the suddenly vulnerable Terriers. Kieran Millan will extend The Wildcats' offensive woes into the offseason.
BU 3, UNH 1; BU 4, UNH 2; (if necc.) BU 3, UNH 2
No. 5 Merrimack at No. 4 Maine
Jim's pick: This is my one pick that makes me the most nervous. I'm going with the Black Bears simply because of home ice. If this series is in Andover, I'm going the complete opposite, but I believe Maine can sweep here.
Maine 3, MC 2; Maine 2, MC 1; (if necc.) Maine 3, MC 1
Dave's pick: Even though Merrimack has gone 4-0-1 in this head-to-head matchup dating back to last year's quarterfinals, I like the way the Black Bears played down the stretch.
Maine 2, MC 1; Maine 3, MC 2 (OT); (if necc.) Maine 3, MC 2

Rep. Tim Scott, a South Carolina Republican backed by tea-party groups, made history Monday when he was appointed to fill the seat of departing Sen. Jim DeMint.
Mr. Scott, who will be the first black senator from the South since Reconstruction, instantly became the GOP's highest-profile African-American, as the party isn't represented by any other black members of Congress or any black governors.
South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley said she chose Mr. Scott because he was a successful small-business man and fiscal conservative with the same philosophy as Mr. DeMint.
Ms. Haley said it was important to her as an Indian-American to say that she chose Mr. Scott for his merits, adding that he "earned this seat for the person that he is."
Mr. Scott said he would seek to uphold Mr. DeMint's record, and shares his hard-line approach on negotiations on the fiscal cliff, looming year-end spending cuts and tax increases. Mr. Scott said raising taxes on the nation's wealthiest people would damage business owners and cause jobs to be lost.
"That's not the right direction," he said. read more

The world's largest video game collection used to belong to Michael Thomasson and he had the certificate from Guinness World Record to prove it. Now, that collection belongs to someone else as it was sold at an online auction for over $750,000 according to The Wire on June 16, 2014.
Thomasson began amassing his gigantic collection in 1998 when he ran a game resale website and also managed a retail video game store. The collection has over 11,000 unique video games and has more than 20 complete United States sets.
A complete set is the system and every official game that was made for it.
Last week, Thomasson put the world's largest video game collection for sale online and it ended up with 56 bids and a winning bid of $750,250. That winning big came from a user with the handle of "peeps_10091970" as his real name has not been revealed.
That winning bid included every video game system, video game, a lifetime subscription to "Retro" magazine, and the 2012 Guinness certificate proving the collection is indeed the largest one in the world.
As of the morning of Tuesday, June 17, 2014, payment had not yet been made on the world's largest video game collection that was valued between $700,000-$800,000. The winning bid ended u amounting to about $68 per game.
The winning bidder also had no feedback with their handle on the auction site, and that is normally seen as a red flag, but for now, the collection is sold.
To let you know how serious the bidding war for the world's largest video game collection got, just look at Oculus founder Palmer Luckey. He ended up putting in bids of $50,000 and a little over $90,000, but then backed out when bidding kept going.

Jos L. Knaepen??
Jazz.com is delighted to present the artistry of jazz photographer Jos L. Knaepen in its Visual Jazz galleries. Please note that reproduction or use of these images without the written consent of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited. Inquiries on obtaining prints or licensing these works can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Belgian born, Jos L. Knaepen, more commonly referred to as "The Jazzman," became interested in jazz at the age of seventeen, after purchasing his first LP of Django Reinhardt and Sidney Bechet in 1961. By the time he was 18, he was a regular attendee at the infamous Comblain La Tour where many jazz giants performed during their European tours. It was also during this period that his interest in photography began.?? Not having the money to purchase sophisticated photo equipment, several years of dedicated scrimping and saving elapsed before Knaepen was equipped well enough to call himself a serious photographer.
His professional photographic career began in earnest during the early seventies. ??His reputation spread during the early 1980s and his award-winning action photography was exhibited regularly throughout Belgium. By 1985, his professional photography career took a hiatus until 1990 when he began again, this time limiting his photography strictly to jazz, one of the great loves of his life.
Knaepen's archive of jazz photographs currently includes more than 46,000 images and is growing daily. We share some of these memorable works below. Inquiries about prints and licensing of Jos Knaepen's images can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The hypothalamus exerts overall control over the sympathetic nervous system (part of the autonomic nervous system). In response to sudden excitement or alarm, signals are sent from the higher regions of the brain to the hypothalamus, which initiates sympathetic nervous system activity. This increases the heart rate, breathing rate, and blood flow to the muscles, and causes the pupils of the eye to widen (all together known as the "fight or flight" response).
Other groups of nerve cells in the hypothalamus are concerned with the control of body temperature. Some are sensitive to heat and cold so that, when blood flowing to the brain is hotter or cooler than normal, the hypothalamus switches on temperature-regulating mechanisms (among them sweating or shivering). The hypothalamus receives information from internal sense organs regarding the body's water content and the level of glucose in the blood; if these are too low, the hypothalamus stimulates thirst and appetite for food. The hypothalamus is also involved in regulating sleep, in motivating sexual behavior, and in determining mood and the experience of emotions.
Another role of the hypothalamus is to coordinate the function of the nervous and endocrine (hormonal) systems of the entire body. The hypothalamus connects with the pituitary gland through a short stalk of nerve fibers and controls hormonal secretions from this gland. It does this in two ways – through direct nerve connections and through specialized nerve cells, which secrete hormones called releasing factors into the blood to travel to the pituitary gland. In this way, the hypothalamus can convert nerve signals into hormonal signals. Thus, the hypothalamus indirectly controls many of the glands of the endocrine system, including the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, cortex of the adrenal glands, ovaries, and testes.
Disorders of the hypothalamusDisorders of the hypothalamus are usually caused by a brain hemorrhage within the hypothalamic region or by an expanding pituitary tumor. Loss of hypothalamic function can have diverse effects, ranging from hormonal disorders to disturbances in temperature regulation, and increased or decreased appetite for food, sex, and sleep.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 22 January 1825; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18250122-TC-JAC-01; CL 3:259-263.
Pentonville, 22nd January, 1825—
My dear Jack,
In a paper which would reach thee yesterday, I promised to write, whenever that Life of Schiller was off my hands; an event which I expected would take place this present Saturday. A man may speculate about his own capacities of action; but woe to him if his calculations include the indolence and capricious mischances of others. Two sheets of this poor book are still to print; and I do not hope to be rid of it for another week. On the whole it is going to be a very pitiful but yet not utterly worthless thing; a volume of 350 pages with portrait, extracts, &c; not well printed, worse written, yet on the whole containing nothing that I did not reckon true, and wanting nothing which my scanty and forlorn circumstances allowed me to give it. So I "commit it silently" either to "everlasting Time," or everlasting oblivion; caring no jot about what the despicable gang of newspaper and magazine critics say of it, or whether they speak of it at all. I do find there is nothing but this for it: Convince yourself that your work is what you call it, as nearly as your honest powers could make it; and the man who censures it, either tells you nothing that you did not know before, or tells you lies; both of which sorts of intelligence you will find it a very simple matter to light your pipe with. There was a luckless wight of an Opium-eater [underscored twice] here, one Dequincey, for instance, who wrote a very vulgar and brutish Review of Meister in the London Magazine:1 I read three pages of it one sick day at Birmingham; and said: "Here is a man who writes of things which he does not rightly understand; I see clean over the top of him, and his vulgar spite, and his common-place philosophy; and I will away and have a ride on (Badams') Taffy, and leave him to cry in the ears of the simple." So I went out, and had my ride accordingly; and if Dequincey, poor little fellow, made any thing by his review, he can put it in his waistcoat pocket, and thank the god Mercurius. A counter-criticism of Meister (or something like one) is to appear in the February No.2 I believe: to this also I hope I shall present the same tolerant spirit. The 'reviews' of that book Meister must not go without their effect on me: I know it and believe it and feel it to be a book containing traces of a higher far higher spirit, altogether more genius than any book published in my day: and yet to see the Cockney animalcules rendering an account of it! praising it, or blaming it! sitting in judgement on Goethe with the light tolerance of a country Justice towards a suspected Poacher! As the child says: "It was grend!"
With regard to my own movements after the conclusion of this most small of literary labours, there is yet nothing fixed determinately. That I shall return to Scotland pretty soon is I think the only point entirely decided. Here there is nothing adequate to induce my continuance. The people are stupid, and noisy; and I live at the easy rate of five-and-forty shillings per week! I say the people are stupid, not altogether unadvisedly; in point either of intellectual or moral culture, they are some degrees below even the inhabitants of the "Modern Athens." I have met no man of a true head and heart among them. Coleridge is a mass of richest spices, putrified into a dunghill: I never hear him tawlk, without feeling ready to worship him and toss him in a blanket. Thomas Campbell is an Edinburgh small, made still smaller by growth in a foreign soil. Irving is enveloped with delusions and difficulties; wending somewhat down-hill, to what depth I know not; and scarcely ever to be seen without a host of the most stolid of all his Majesty's Christian people, sitting round him. I wonder often that he does not buy himself a tar-barrel, and once for all fairly light it under the Hatton-garden pulpit, and thus ex fumo giving lucem,3 bid adieu to the gross train-oil concern altogether. Then Procter, poor little Procter! I often feel that were I as one of these people, sitting in a whole body, by the cheek of my own wife, my feet upon my own hearth, I should feel distressed at seeing myself so very poor in spirit. "The which upon perceiving my mind would be staggered not a little." Literary men! The Devil in his own good time take all such literary men! One sterling fellow, like Schiller or even old Johnson would take half-a-dozen such creatures by the nape of the neck, between his finger and his thumb, and carry them forth to the nearest common sink. Save Allan Cunningham, an honest Nithsdale peasant, there is not one man among them.
In short, Jack, it does not seem worth while to spend five-and-forty shillings weekly for the privilege of being near such penmen. I will come to Scotland, and have back my health. This, of the health, I have as good as sworn. It is impossible for me to go weeping and wailing, thro existence, as I have been doing: if I should take to breaking stones upon the highway, I will be a whole animal, not a bundle of disgust and torture as for many a long year I have been. Philosophy I have got and given myself in abundance; and I question often whether the most philosophical of all my tutors could have exerted as much of that gift as I myself was silently doing at the very moment of his pallabra: Philosophy! It is not to be tolerated, that a man should be schooled so! An ounce of castor-oil is more effectual on the heart of man than the whole Enchiridion of Epictetus. I will be whole then, tho' I should invoke the very powers of Darkness to aid me. The means, the earthly means of this are in my power, I think; if I knew how to guide them. Exercise and abstinence: these I must practice. Sometimes I think of commissioning Alick to go and get us a farm: I would fit up a comfortable room in it; delve and ride six hours every day; write two, and talk and sleep the rest: this thing, if I could persist in it for a year, would certainly help nay cure me. I believe there is simply nothing wrong about me; but a general want of vis and tone in the nervous system. So Badams thought, so I think. Well, how to mend it? Employ the body more, the spirit less! This is the general problem: oh for a clear head and a steady heart to solve it theoretically and practically! Canst thou not help me, thou youngest of the disciples of Galen? Hast thou not l[earned] "the doses"? Then learn them, in Heaven's name! Read Gregory's Conspect[us]4 and study English composition; and be a Doctor and cure me!
The Bullers made a kind of proposal that I should take Arthur with me to live, till next october, at the rate of £200 per annum. This I rejected. But I have since been thinking, that it might perhaps answer me to get two or three such pupils, at the rate of £250 or £300 and set up house with them in Edinr! I design to speak with Irving on this matter. Several people here might help me: Mrs Strachey (one of the best women living) would do her utmost for me. On the whole I am not too partial to this scheme: the farm one, as most conducive to health, would perhaps suit me better. Let us all stick together, boy, all true as the Holland sheaf of arrows, and there will be no fear. Per ardua ad alta.5
Brewster's letter was on the subject of Schiller's works: his Book-sellers fight shy; it was to be looked for: the scooneril Boyd, whom I since sounded on the matter 'respectfully declines.' I have another scheme for them in the matter of these Lives; I mean I would give a series of such. But I purpose letting Schiller's Life come out, before I talk more of it. It will shew at least that I am an entity. I expect it will be with you early in February.
Now Jack, my dear Boy, thou seest this letter has been taken up exclusively with myself: do thou sit down directly, and fill one with details upon the corresponding topic. How art thou? Is thy cold gone? Take care of it, and thyself, I prithee. How prosper thy studies? I look to thee, my honest boy, with confidence and hope, for much influence on the comfort of my future life. Be patient and strong and fear nothing.— The Mainhill people said ganz wohl last week, but they owe me a letter. Tell Murray I got his letter and saw his protegé,6 whom I introduced to Irving, and got all done for that could be done: he (Torrance) is evidently an innocent man, far too innocent for prospering here.— Write instantly! Man was never in a hurry such as mine: the post hour is just at hand, and I have far to run; for the near offices are shut already. Good night my dear Boy! Ever thine,
Thos: Carlyle.

Texas tale explains prospect's puck love
The story carries a certain charm, undoubtedly polished through countless re-tellings.
The story carries a certain charm, undoubtedly polished through countless re-tellings.
Best of all, Tyler Myers swears the tale is true.
How, back when the family lived in Texas, his father Paul, out of the blue, took him to a Houston Aeros game.
How, despite being only six years old, he had been instantly smitten by the sport.
How, a dozen years later, he's a sure-fire first-round pick at the National Hockey League draft in Ottawa.
Hard to believe.
"Yeah, but that's exactly right," says Myers. "The morning (after the Aeros match) we were buying hockey equipment at the local rink's pro shop and starting up hockey. It was a pretty quick transition for me."
No question.
After playing minor hockey in Houston, the Myers clan re-located to Calgary -- McKenzie in the south, to be exact -- and the boy, then 10, blossomed.
Eventually, he skated his first-year bantam campaign with the Calgary Buffaloes, his second year with Edge, the local athletic academy.
Then, off to Wilcox, Sask., he played midget for Notre Dame. At the end of that season -- his Grade 10 year -- he was summoned by the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League.
Then began the business of wowing scouts, which, this past winter, he and blueline chum Luke Schenn did in earnest.
Schenn is slotted fifth by the Central Scouting Bureau; Myers is the fourth-ranked teenager among North American skaters.
"He's done great for himself," Myers says of Schenn. "It was fun having a teammate in a similar situation as me."
Officially six foot seven ("I might have another inch left in me"), Myers will soon join an elite club -- smiling teenagers who have marched on stage to shake hands with their newest best friends, to tug on a personalized jersey, to top it off with a stiff ball cap, to beam for photographers.
To become NHL property.
"I've started to think about that," says Myers, a fan of the Calgary Flames. "But I really don't have a clue what team is going to pick me. It feels like just yesterday that I was starting up hockey. It's an exciting feeling."
Putting the ring of reality on that feeling was May's NHL combine in Toronto.
In addition to stomach-churning fitness torture, Myers was interviewed by 21 outfits. (Of course, there'll be more sit-downs this week in Ottawa.)
"They're pretty relaxing . . . so it was fun to meet all of them," he says. "I was pretty outgoing and it went by pretty smooth. I was happy with them. It's nice to talk to the different scouts, the people representing the team. It's a neat experience."
One interview question, in particular, stood out for Myers.
He was asked to envision a "candy" that would ensure hockey success. The drawback? A 50 per cent chance that he would die 10 years later. Then came the predictable capper -- would he eat the magic bonbon?
To the thinly veiled query about performance-enhancing drugs, Myers said "no, right away. I don't think that anything harmful to the body should be taken."
Obviously, the correct answer.
Doing right, though, appears to be a matter of course for Myers.
When asked about skating on behalf of the Maple Leaf at April's under-18 world championship -- despite being U.S.-born -- Myers says it was a simple decision (even if it is a heck of a lot easier to crack American national sides).
"One of the biggest reasons I decided to play for Canada? If we hadn't moved, I wouldn't be where I am today as a hockey player," says Myers, who'd acquired his Canadian citizenship immediately before the world tourney. "So I'm very fortunate."
And suppose all those years ago, Pops had decided to put down roots in Texas.
Where would Myers be?
Or, more specifically, what would Myers be?
"If we hadn't moved," he says, "I'd probably be playing basketball right now. I'm very fortunate that we moved to Calgary."

D Tyler Myers
Birthplace: Houston, Texas
Home town: DeWinton
Size: Six foot seven, 204 pounds
Shoots: Right
Amateur club: Kelowna Rockets (WHL)
2007-08: 65 GP, 6 G, 13 A, 19 Pts, 97 PIM
Central Scouting Bureau: Fourth-rated North American skater
In his own words: "I think (playing first-year midget at Notre Dame, in Wilcox, Sask.) was the best developing year for me to (prepare) for the WHL and the next level. It was a physical league, and that's what I needed to take that next step. When they called me up (to Kelowna), I felt I was ready for it."
Favourite team: Calgary Flames
Favourite player: Robyn Regehr
Favourite movie: Forest Gump
Favourite actor: Adam Sandler
Favourite group: Journey
Central Scouting says: "Tyler is the tallest player among the top-rated players. As a defenceman, that height translates into a great poke-check and great stickwork. At six foot seven, he still has a little bit of growing into his body to do. Obviously, comparisons are made to Zdeno Chara, who, it has been said, actually as a junior stumbled when he played for Prince George. There may be a night when the large feet of Myers get in his way a little bit, but to hear scouts talk, they won't get in his way for very many more years."

College Hockey:Young's first goal of year lifts Nebraska-Omaha over Colorado College in overtime
OMAHA, Neb. – Heading into Saturday's game against Colorado College, Nebraska-Omaha senior defenseman Michael Young had 10 goals to his name in nearly four years with the Mavericks, but none this season.
He has 11 all-time now.
It was a game where both teams squandered many scoring chances and either club could've put the contest away even before the third period rolled around. However, when the tilt went to overtime, on UNO's Senior Night, Young buried his first goal of the season 55 seconds in to give the Mavericks a 2-1 win over the Tigers.
"How appropriate; his first goal of the year by a captain who's done nothing but lead," UNO coach Dean Blais said. "The hockey gods were kind of looking out for us, and there are hockey gods … and tonight, 'Younger,' being a good guy all year and a good leader, he was rewarded for it.
"He's a role player in every sense of the word. He's on the power play, he's on the penalty kill, he's our captain, he says the right things at the right times in the dressing rooms. He's a Canadian that grew up his whole life battling and playing 80 to 100 games a year, so he knows how to win."
The win clinched a weekend sweep for UNO, which saw its record improve to 15-15-2 overall and 12-8-2-1 in the NCHC. The Mavericks are still in third place, just as they were at the start of Saturday's action, but now have 39 points and are only three behind both North Dakota and St. Cloud State at the top of the league.
CC fell Saturday to 6-20-6 overall and 6-11-5-1 in the league. Despite the loss, the Tigers (24 points) are now locked into seventh place by virtue of last-place Miami (17) getting swept at home this weekend by Minnesota-Duluth.
As for the series in Omaha, the Tigers were reminded Friday of how important a fast start can be when UNO scored 11 seconds in, was up 3-0 within the first six minutes of the game and eventually won 6-0. On Saturday, though, it was the Tigers' turn to fly out of the blocks.
Like UNO had on Friday, the visitors wasted little time before opening the scoring in the rematch. This time, Tigers forward Charlie Taft barreled into the UNO zone down the left wing before cutting inside and beating Mavericks goaltender Ryan Massa glove-side at the near post.
CC's lead only lasted until the 11:40 mark of the first period. After Young fired a shot from high in the slot wide of the CC net, UNO forward Jake Guentzel was there at the near-side post when the puck came back out for the freshman to swat it past Tigers goalie Josh Thorimbert.
The resulting 1-1 score lasted through the second and third periods, thanks in equal parts to inefficient offensive execution and great saves from both Massa and Thorimbert. Massa only gave up one goal on the weekend and made 26 saves Saturday, while Thorimbert ended his night with 35.
CC coach Scott Owens felt his team deserved a better outcome Saturday, but that the team's offensive woes this season came back to bite the Tigers again.
"I was hoping we'd get through to a shootout even though we haven't fared that well (in them)," Owens said. "But I just thought, down the stretch, I thought (forward Cody) Bradley could pick one up and (forward Alexander Krushelnyski) comes to life late in games, but scoring is tough for us. I think we're the second or third-lowest-scoring team in the country, but it certainly wasn't because of effort tonight."
Thorimbert, a senior himself, came out unluckiest in the end, though. Early into the overtime period, the CC netminder found himself screened by a scrum to his right before a loose puck squirted out into the slot, where Young lifted it over Thorimbert into the CC net.
"It was about time," Young said, laughing, of his first goal of the season. "Couldn't have come at a better time, really. It was an unbelievable feeling, and I can't even explain it; I'm just so happy it went in.
"It's obviously bittersweet the way we went out like that winning in overtime in front of our fans and everything, but we needed a win and we want home ice, obviously, and we play better when we're here. As far as I don't want to say it was just another game, the feeling was there this was a game we needed to win."
Owens understandably was sympathetic toward Thorimbert after the game.
"It's too bad for Josh," Owens said. "Because there's no difference in tonight's result than losing five or six to nothing. You just get nothing out of it."
Blais said after the game he felt his team hadn't quite matched the balance of emotion and composure CC had put into Saturday's game, but conceded it's difficult to do that on Senior Night.
"It's always tough on Senior Night," Blais said. "Players are skating around the ice and seeing their mom and dad, knowing this could be their last game here, and it's emotional. They did a great job at our luncheon on Friday and they had a highlight video and everything, but it's kind of a depressing thing.
"I was more worried yesterday with the fire (at one of UNO's freshmen players' dormitory Wednesday) and everything than I was tonight. They've seen (Senior Nights) before and have now for four years, so they should be mentally prepared for it, but they weren't. I didn't think we had the same intensity (as UNO did Friday), but Colorado played a lot better tonight because of the circumstances with (losing 6-0) last night."
CC now returns home to close out the regular season next weekend against St. Cloud State. UNO is on the road next week to face Minnesota-Duluth.

OpenStreetView (openstreetview.org) is a project talked about at State Of The Map 2009 by John McKerrell and launched in September 2009. The aims of the project are to create a large open licensed database of street level photography. Geo-tagged photos can be uploaded into the system by anyone who signs up for an account. All photos must then be moderated by a number of people (currently 3) to ensure that they are appropriate for the project. Once a photo has been moderated it will then show up in API queries and appear on the site to anyone, whether signed in or not.
Using the site
If you simply want to browse the photos that are available then just visit the site and drag the map around. The interface is severely lacking at the moment as it will show photos in the order that they were uploaded with an arbitrary limit of 100. If you zoom into areas around the world though you should find there's more image than appears at first glance. Try zooming into your country first and see what shows up. Unlocated photos show up on the left hand side. In the future it will be possible for signed in users to add tags to photos and to modify properties of the photos including the orientation, the direction and location.
If you have any issues then please either create an issue on github or join the discussion on the mailing list.
Uploading photos
To upload photos you will need to create an account on the site. It has been mentioned that it would be useful if could use your OSM details rather than creating a new account. While this is understandable it was easier to launch this way and meant the site actually got launched.
Once you have an account you should go to /upload where you can choose between uploading an individual photo through a web form or creating an FTP account to allow easier uploading of many images. Only geo-tagged photos will show up on the map and there is not currently any way to georeference them later. When you have created an FTP account you can use any standard FTP client to connect, e.g. FileZilla. The best option is to upload photos as directories of files, each directory will be grouped into a "batch". These batches currently have no purpose but in the future could be used with geotagging or for other purposes later.
When you have uploaded photos via FTP you will need to go to the site and visit /upload/ftp - you can review the files you have uploaded and tell the system to start processing them. This page is known to take a long time to run so you'll need to be patient. Once you've got past this page a background process will push your photos through from the "pending" status via "processing" to "unavailable". At this stage the photos are not available for anyone to see. You get a chance to review them and can either push them to moderation or delete them if you've accidentally uploaded something you didn't intend to.
Every photo must be moderated before it is visible to everyone. Moderation is intended to catch a number of problems. We do not want people using OpenStreetView as a mechanism to distribute photos or images that are not street-level imagery. It is not a general photo hosting site. Also to safeguard the project against problems in the future we are manually masking any parts of the photo that could cause privacy problems or any problems for the project in the future, for instance faces of people or car license plates.
When moderating you are able to specify whether a photo is "Safe" or "Unsafe" (these terms are not really correct, "Appropriate" and "Inappropriate" would be better). "Unsafe" photos are photos that really have no place on the site, including photos or images that might have copyright issues. When a photo has been marked "Unsafe" by 3 more people than have marked it "Safe" it will be removed from view. "Safe" photos are any photos that are appropriate for the site, they can include photos that show people or cars or other objects so long as faces, license plates, etc. have all been masked out.
To moderate go to /moderate. The page will load in a number of photos. The current preferred workflow is as follows:
- Review the small previews, any photos that appear to have things that need masking in are selected (by clicking on the photo).
- If any photos need masking click on "Mask sections".
- A dialog window will pop up showing a larger version of the photo. You can now review it to confirm whether it has any areas that need masking.
- To mask an area simply drag a rectangle over the area on the photo. If you get it wrong just start again.
- After you select an area the "Value" box on the bottom right will be focussed. When masking images the "Key" box will always contain "mask". Enter a value that you feel appropriate. There is no enforced list of tag values though de facto standards will appear as time goes by.
- Once you have entered a value either hit enter or click the "Save Tag" button.
- If there are more areas to be masked then repeat these steps, otherwise you can either press enter while the "Value" box is focussed or click "Next" to move onto the next photo.
- If you are on the last photo, attempting to get to the next photo will close the dialog and show the previews again.
- Once you have masked all of the photos select all of the photos that are now safe and click "Mark as.. Safe".
- If any photos are inappropriate select these and click "Mark as.. Un-safe".
- Click on "Save Changes" to save your changes. As the changes for each photo are saved each photo will disappear. When all photos are saved the page will automatically load in a new set of photos to moderate. If there are no photos left to moderate in the system, a box will pop up to tell you.
When you get bored of moderating or find something else to do you can simply close the page.
The code is open source and can be found on github. The use of github allows anyone to branch the code, make as many changes as they want and to share those changes with the community. To put the changes live a push request should be made to the main repository where it will be reviewed and, hopefully, applied.
The code is written in Ruby using the Rails framework, similar to OpenStreetMap.
You can also find a simple script which will download (and re-geotag due to bug) all pictures in KML region for use in for example JOSM's AgPifoJ plugin. It requires perl, wget and exiftool, but no additional perl modules (see the script for info).

This list is not meant to be a definitive list of plans for the project but is intended to give an idea of what we're hoping to do in the future and show areas that people can get involved in if they'd like to try working with the code.
- Browsing photos on the map - currently the /api/photos/locate query which gets photos within a bounding box returns them in the order they were uploaded up to a maximum of 100. This means that the homepage of the site doesn't show a good spread of photos around the world when the map is zoomed out. It shouldn't be too hard to make a request that could be used at the lower zoom levels that would get a broader geographic range of photos.
- Currently photos can't be tagged or metadata added once they have been moderated, adding this would be handy.
- Make use of OSM user accounts rather than requiring new accounts to be created. Best way to do this would be Open ID but OSM doesn't offer that. OAuth could probably work but isn't intended for this sort of thing. It would even be possible to just accept OSM usernames and passwords directly on OSV and use the OSM API to authenticate though again this would not be ideal.
- Support more ways to upload images.
- ... various UI fixes and bugs and feature requests that appear on the mailing list and listed as issues on github.
Attention: possible privacy law issues
In some countries, it might not be allowed to publish pictures taken even in public spaces if the owner of the property objects to that, or even take such pictures. In such cases, uploading such pictures to OpenStreetView or similar services (like google maps, panoramio etc.) might (or might not) be illegal. Check the local law of the country in which you intend to take pictures before doing so, and also see talk page.

"You had to keep the secret because you were ordered to. I know that if had been up to you you would have told me. I don't hold any anger towards you."
Tavaryn gave a slight swallow, still surprised that there was at least someone who didn't try to berate him for his secrecy. He replied, "If I had known you were on the Ackbar when the team was created, I would have gone to great lengths to stay away. Then again I would have gone to any lengths to make sure that you were happy." He then gave her a chaste kiss on her temple.
He then cleared his throat and said, "As far as Alpha Team goes, I guess I might as well send the signal." With his good hand, he reached into a pouch on his belt and pulled out a device that looked like a comm unit. He keyed in a code and sent it. "Any who live know to rendezvous where my signal is at."
Tariq had never been in a full scale battle like this before but as the LT's right hand man, he had seen things that most troopers would never see and that was all in part because of the unit he was assigned to. After the Ackbar, they went to surface to lend their skills to the Avalonians. Now they were scattered over the field and Tariq was about to comm the LT when he got a signal. He pulled out his device and recognized it. He strapped it to his wrist and followed it.
He happened to come across Admiral Garja. He said, "Admiral, sir." He raced to steady the admiral. "Are you alright sir?"
Governor Starlighter was pleased that her family was alright after this battle but it was disheartening to see the constant brushes with death being brought to her door. The part of her that longed to pick up the sword again flared. She was her mother's daughter after all. She was also a woman and a mother and her heart went out to Andorra and it showed when she stroked the girl's shoulder.
After her brother started heading back she patted the wyvern to indicate that it could leave but she doubted that it would leave without saying good-bye to her friend. She went back to the main operations room of the keep and came across Kaltas' daughter and her promised one. The girl asked her about a transcript. She replied, "As far as I know, the Senator for our sovereignty has not taken any course of action. This noble I do not recognize. I think we should pat a visit to the archives in the Okasa district in Tyan-Yu. It should still be standing since the archives were built underground. You care to join me?"
Andros just grinned as he continued his work, "The admiral made a similar offer. I have much to learn still from my master."
Xeran may be a bit crazy but he knows when to be serious.
Jun-la returned the grin, "I got that impression when he had the blade hidden up his sleeve when I went to arrest him. He thinks I didn't see it but I did." She winked and turned her attention to the Twi-lek, "We will consider your offer. For now you will remain our prisoner."

Hmmm. You feel you made a mistake by joining a forum with rules? Most of here like the order that the rules bring. Yeah, some of us get our panties in a bunch when some rules are broken. It keeps the place civil and I for one like it that way. I don't know what you did, but just don't do it again.

I NEVER joined a discussion group or seen one that the members had an ounce of respect for each other until DC. In fact in my 46 years, this is the only one I have participated in. Since, I joined one other and only been back once or twice, it wasn't my cup o tea. A lot can be learned from the people on this forum, if you look at the posts and actually read them the membership has a vast array a knowledge and give their best. It's up to you from then on. I'm sure many longtime members have had their moments but shook them off and moved forward.

It's been my experience that whichever admin is on duty at the time is very diligent about returning a PM about a particular post. I've made one or two forum mistakes over the course of being a member, and I've always been very politely corrected by either another member, or whoever is on call.
If the OP cannot bide by rules we all deal with as members of this community, then it's his loss.

I have to agree, those of us who choose to frequent this forum do so because of the structure and rules that are in place. It keeps things civil. Like many others I have "stumbled" over a rule now and then, but when the mods explained my mistake I took it as constructive criticism, not as being "picked on". This forum does not force anyone to come here, and it definitely does not force anyone to stay. If a person cannot abide by the rules they agreed to when joining, the solution is simple.

FRESNO, Calif. - The Fresno State football team is now five days away from its season opener on Aug. 29 at home against Rutgers. The Bulldogs went through practice No. 24 on Saturday afternoon and are honing in on their game plan for the Scarlet Knights.
The two teams are very similar looking at them on paper. Rutgers went 9-4 last year like the Bulldogs and captured a share of their conference championship. The Scarlet Knights also have a second year coach with Kyle Flood at the helm.
One thing that differs with Rutgers this year is it had 13 players from its 2012 roster that were either drafted or are in camp with an NFL Team. They obviously got a lot of talent. This year, they also have a new offensive coordinator in Ron Prince, who was the head coach at Kansas State from 2006-08.
"You don't have a great beat on what they are going to do," head coach Tim DeRuyter said about going up against Prince's offense. "We think we know. We know coach Prince's style from other places he's been, but we don't have tape to show them from what he did last year. We're going on a guess a little bit, but our guys will be able to adjust."
The Scarlet Knights will be rolling out a pro-style offense that last season ranked eighth nationally by only allowing 11 sacks. Rutgers returns seven starters on offense and four offensive linemen that had started games for them last year.
"Offensively, the thing that stands out is they are a very physical running attack team, pro-style offense," DeRuyter said. "They got a quarterback that has a big time cannon and he's got some weapons. They got a 6-6 receiver named [Brandon] Coleman that can fly and we're very concerned about."
Returning to run the offense is junior quarterback Gary Nova. Last year he threw for 2,695 yards with 22 touchdowns against 16 interceptions and completed 57 percent of his passes. He has one of the nation's top wide receivers in the 6-6 Coleman, who had 10 TDs a year ago as a sophomore.
One key for the Bulldogs on defense is being more physical than the Scarlet Knights. Up front on the defensive line, that might be where the 'Dogs are at their best on either side of the ball. Defensive ends Andy Jennings and Nikko Motta along with nose guard Tyeler Davison combined for 24 tackles for a loss and 11.5 sacks. It is also their job to eat up blocks to allow the Bulldog linebackers to get into the backfield.
Last season, Fresno State as a team ranked ninth nationally in sacks and tied for 17th in tackles for a loss, so there is going to be a good battle there in the trenches.
Then offensively, the Bulldogs will be going up against Rutgers' 4-3 defense.
"I first looked at their defense and they're really fast, a really physical team," DeRuyter said. "They played a lot of man coverage and had some guys that can run now. Fortunately for us they got three of those guys that went on and got drafted into the National Football League, but I know how they've recruited so we're anticipating having guys behind them that are just as solid."
The Scarlet Knights return five starters from its 2012 defense that was very good. Rutgers ranked fourth among bowl subdivision teams in 2012 by allowing just 14.2 points per game. Fresno State's offense ranked 17th nationally in scoring last year, averaging shade under 38 points per game.
This opening game is going to be a big test for both teams on both side of the ball.
"Our guys are focused," DeRuyter said. "Rutgers is our opponent, so we better be."
Fresno State and Rutgers are set to kick off Thursday from Bulldog Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
"Catch the Wave" - 2013 Fresno State football season tickets are now on sale and can be ordered online at gobulldogs.com or over the phone at 559-278-DOGS (3647). The official home of the Fresno State Bulldogs is 940 AM ESPN Radio.

So we were talking about some pretty exciting news in scoliosis and the first thing I would like to go over with you is the new EOS scanner?
Dr. Shah: We're really excited about this scanner. The hospital purchased the technology this past spring, and we've really been able to offer it to any number of patients that need x-rays; anyone with a full spinal x-ray or lower extremity x-rays is eligible to have their x-rays done here. The two big advantages are that it's ultra-low-dose radiation, so this is a compelling reason to have x-rays. Kids that are having multiple x-rays over their lifetime as part of their growing skeleton can be exposed to a tremendous amount of radiation for medical purposes. This really keeps that to a minimum amount over the course of their lifetime, and might prevent their chances of having a malignancy as an adult. More so, the images are really outstanding. We are able to see clarity, contrast, and detail that we weren't able to see prior to this technology being available to us. The really exciting thing for some of the severe curves we treat with surgery is that we can evaluate our outcomes in three dimensions because this technology combined with computer software can take two-dimensional images and stitch them together and make a three-dimensional model of the spine that we can rotate and look at and appreciate finer detail that we weren't able to see before. So it really allows us to see things that weren't obvious to us before.
It's not your typical x-ray machine?
Dr. Shah: No, not at all. In fact, the developers of this technology won a Nobel Prize for this technology, and it's really important to give this to the community.
How big of a breakthrough would you say this is in x-ray technology?
Dr. Shah: MRI's a great breakthrough because it allows you see other than the bone, the soft tissues, ligaments, and spinal cord. I would put this very close to that in terms of the three-dimensional capability, but the benefit to the patient is huge because ultra is much less radiation than there was in the past.
It's probably one of the biggest developments that happened in more than 100 years?
Dr. Shah: It's the biggest development in x-rays since the invention of x-rays, but in terms of imaging it's definitely up there with some three dimensional scans, and MRIs, yes.
How many x-rays would they have to get versus now? Would it always be a typical number that they would have to get over the course of their lifetime versus this?
Dr. Shah: Well, it's really individualized based on what kind of curve the patient has and how young they are. The problem is when you're growing the curve can increase and we need some way to monitor that, x-ray is really the best way to see that. If the patient is eight years old when they're diagnosed with scoliosis and their x-rayed twice a year, every year until they're done growing, I mean, that's 20 x-rays. If they're getting treated at the same time with a brace, if they've had surgery, each of those subsequent x-rays and follow-up visits and so forth is additive. So, the radiation dose is cumulative, we want to keep that to a minimum and with this we're able to do that.
When you do this then, how often are they exposed to radiation?
Dr. Shah: They're exposed anytime they get into the machine. It's not necessarily a frequency change, but each x-ray is a 10th or a quarter of the radiation they were getting. So feasibly they could get 10 x-rays in EOS and it only adds up to one conventional x-ray.
Can you talk a little bit of the story behind this mother and daughter?
Dr. Shah: So Mrs. Smith, Alyssa's mother, had surgery here in 1985. She was diagnosed as a young child and she was followed here, just like we just talked about, twice a year with x-rays subsequently leading up to the fact that during her growth spurt the curve became much more severe and she needed surgery to alleviate some of the problems that we see with severe scoliosis. Problems like decreased pulmonary function, a change in body position, and we want to prevent the consequences of scoliosis during aging, such as pain and disability. She had the surgery done 20 years ago and she's doing extremely well now as a mother of three and is quite active and healthy, but now she's seeing the same thing with her daughter. Her daughter has a mild to moderate curve and what is her progression potential is what we really want to know. Right now the curve is small, but you can see the difference in their size. Alyssa's got five more years to grow and that curve could potentially become just as severe as her mother's. So we're using this new technology and this new knowledge about growth of the spine, about progression potential for scoliosis, and a less dangerous way to monitor scoliosis with low-dose radiation x-rays. We administered a genetic test to her today that will determine her risk of progression to a severe curve, and if that risk is very high like it was in her mother's, we may be able to use novel treatments or start earlier bracing to prevent her preparation to need surgery. We didn't have any information before, we would treat everybody based on the algorithms in our text book and in our medical journals; if your curve is at 25 to 40° you'll get a brace and we'll see if that works. Well with her genetic testing we're going to be able to customize treatment and choose the best few options for her, rather than the population as a whole.
How severe was her mother's curve, then?
Dr. Shah: She doesn't recall her exact x-rays, we're going to pull her records but back then in the 80s surgery wasn't done for curves less than 50 or 60°. So it was probably pretty severe.
Can you talk about the EOS machine?
Dr. Shah: We didn't model this patient, but if we did you could see the three-dimensional deformity where there's a rib hump on this side and there's quite a twist into the spine. We've been able to eliminate a lot of that rotation with this new generation instrumentation and you can see the ribs are much more even now. So this patient who had a previous high rib hump is now quite flat and looking at him you wouldn't even know he had scoliosis anymore. We're able to achieve a three-dimensional correction to scoliosis now that we can actually see the spine in 3-D.

This is definitely an all-rounder of an ereader, Amazon has really honed the ereading experience and made enough improvements on previous Kindles to come up with its best version.
The lack of connectivity and poor on-board storage still remain an issue, but the actual reading experience is excellent and it's clearly where Amazon has focused its development time.
We liked
The smooth matte-black finish, rounded edges and overall design make it look sleek and luxurious - a definite contender for the 'best looking ereader' award.
The speed of the device itself makes it one of the fastest on the market. It's refreshing to be able to glide around an e-ink screen without too much screen refresh or lag, which is frustratingly common in a lot of ereaders. The ominous "25% faster" processor seems to have done the trick.
The added extras like X-Ray and Kindle Page Flip make the reading experience more complete and the Smart Lookup is a really good idea when it works.
We disliked
The onboard storage remains an issue, 2GB is too small and hardly justifiable. The cloud does offer an alternative option, but there are times when you won't have a Wi-Fi network or 3G available.
This is exacerbated when you only have the Wi-Fi model. A large part of the fun of ereaders is their portability, having to pre-download books for your travels takes away some of this portability.
The browser isn't very good, there aren't any back or forward buttons and some pages simply do not load. Since most people won't buy a Kindle to use the browser, this shouldn't be a huge drawback but you have to wonder why Amazon didn't either exclude it altogether, or at least make it more bearable.
The Smart Lookup app only works with certain books, which is a shame because it's a good idea that adds lots of depth to the reading experience.
Final verdict
The 6th generation Kindle Paperwhite is the best Kindle yet, it's the most cost effective ereader on the market and it easily beats the Nook Glowlight and Kobo Aura H2O on performance and design.
Amazon has also brought out an even newer version, simply titled the Amazon Kindle, which brings a new touchscreen and other improvements for a very similar price.
Although the specifications aren't the best around, the execution is excellent and Amazon has managed to create a fast e-ink tablet and improve the reading experience with inventive reading apps. I highly recommend.

The soldiers were shot and killed by a man wearing an Afghan uniform at a checkpoint in the Nahr-e-Saraj district.
22:46, UK, Tuesday 30 October 2012
Two British soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan by a man wearing an Afghan police uniform.
The soldiers, from the 1st Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles, were shot dead at a checkpoint in the Nahr-e-Saraj district of Helmand Province.
Major Laurence Roche, the spokesman for Task Force Helmand, said: "The loss of these soldiers is a huge blow to The Royal Gurkha Rifles and everyone serving in Task Force Helmand.
"Our thoughts are with their families, friends and fellow Gurkhas at this time."
The soldiers' families have been informed.
The Ministry of Defence said there have been nine UK deaths attributed to so-called "green on blue" or "insider attacks" this year.
The latest two deaths come as the bodies of two service personnel killed last week were repatriated to the UK.
Corporal Channing Day, who served with the 3 Medical Regiment, died alongside Corporal David O'Connor, of 40 Commando, after being injured on patrol with C Company in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand Province on Wednesday.
Their Union flag-draped coffins were flown into RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.

Those who do not have direct contact with the foster care system often know little about it. Aside from its portrayal in certain TV programs, the foster care system is often all but forgotten by the general public. Here are 8 interesting facts about foster care that may just make you want to know more.
Most Children Stay In The System For About 3 Years
This figure changes over time but most children seem to stay within the foster care system for nearly 3 years before they return to their families of origin or are placed with new families. This is not always the case, however, as 20% of children don't get out of the system until more than 5 years has gone by.
Children Have About 3 Different Placements On Average
This is just the average but even it is upsetting. Moving from one home to another puts great stress on children and 3 different homes on average is a tremendous amount of stress. There are children who are far above this average and who have been placed in 20 or 30 different homes.
Each Year 20,000 Children Never Leave The System
There are many children each year who never make it out of the foster care system. Instead, they remain in it until they are too old to qualify for foster care. Each year 20,000 children fall into this category as those who never get to leave the system.
30% Of The Homeless Have Been In Foster Care
This is an astounding fact that few realize. In America, 30% of the homeless have been in foster care before. Clearly, the parallel that is being drawn here is not a positive one and does not speak well of the state of the foster care system.
25% Of People In Prison Have Been In Foster Care
This is another indication that the foster care system may not adequately prepare individuals for the real world. It is true that 25% of those in prison have spent time in the foster care system. Figures like these do not happen by accident.
The Average Age Of Foster Children Is 10
It can be hard for many who do not have direct experience with the foster care system to conceptualize the situation or the children in the system but this should help. The average age of children in the foster care system is 10. This means that half of these children are either 10 years old or younger than that.
Social Workers Have A High Turnover Rate
Given the stress of this profession it is not surprising that there is a high turnover rate for social workers but the fact that this rate is over 20% is shocking. That's extremely high for any profession. But dealing with the challenges hinted at by the above facts understandably can lead social workers to burnout.
Social Workers Have Too Many Cases
It probably doesn't surprise you that social workers have too many cases. The usually recommended number of cases for a social worker is about 17. Many social workers have 3 or 4 times that many cases.
M. Rheinecker frequently blogs about which accredited universities offer an msw program online.

The IntelliJ IDEA is an IDE, developed by JetBrains, that was originally intended to make the life easier for Java programmers, offering a wide range of tools and framework support. Nowadays it also implements tools for other programming languages, like Scala, Groovy or Ruby, and frameworks, like NodeJS, Rails, etc. Currently distributed in a Community and Ultimate editions (being the last commercial), it is considered by many one of the best available IDE for these languages. Because no debian, or equivalent installer, is provided by JetBrains for Linux machines, in this article I'll explain how to setup the environment, including application shortcuts, into Xubuntu (also compatible with Ubuntu and based versions, like Lubuntu).

The OpenSSL Project is a toolkit created to simplify the implementation of SSL and TLS protocols, offering a complete and powerful cryptography library. Out of the box, it allows to easily create certificate keys, signing requests, multiple certificate formats and stores using the command line. In this article I'll give simple examples how to create some of this files, while giving a basic overview of asymmetric cryptography.
The Windows Communication Foundation is a great framework for creating reliable, secure and standards compliant Web Services. Ever since it's introduction by Microsoft in the .NET world, it has been largely adopted yet, after all this years, some developers still don't know how to properly handle faulted states when disposing WCF clients.

Frank Dell'Apa of the Boston Globe has a preview of Saturday's game at Boston College focusing on the confidence built from past performances against FBS programs, including last year's narrow loss at Michigan.
But this is a new era for football at UMass, which will move up to the Bowl Subdivision next season and join the Mid-American Conference. Narrow defeats at Navy (21-20, in 2006), Kansas State (21-17, in 2009), and Michigan (42-37, in 2010) indicate UMass can compete at the next level.
"In the last two years, in particular those games against Kansas State and Michigan, we certainly had our chances in big-time atmospheres,'' Morris said. "Our players haven't played at Boston College but as a staff we have, and we know what to expect from Boston College football. We'll be ready to go. On paper, they are our best opponent, the strongest team we'll play.
"If you go by the Michigan, Kansas State, and Navy games, those are good indicators of where you are as a program. I think we're a very competitive program but we still haven't recruited a truly FBS recruiting class. We're going to go out and play and compete with anybody we play against and our goal is to win the game."

Understanding Attention Deficit: The New ADHD
What's new about ADHD? A lot, according to Yale professor Thomas Brown, Ph.D. You'll think differently about the condition once you get all the facts.
Signs in Childhood
Recent research has shown that many with ADHD function well during childhood and do not manifest any significant symptoms until adolescence or later, when greater challenges to executive function are encountered. Over the past decade research has shown that impairing symptoms of ADHD often persist well into adulthood. However, studies have also shown that some individuals with ADHD during childhood experience significant reductions in their impairments as they grow older.

To All Faculty and Staff,
On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Stony Brook Foundation, I
invite you to join us for this year's Stars of Stony Brook Gala as we
honor Alan Alda on Wednesday, April 24 at Pier Sixty in New York
City. The Gala is a night when Stony Brook truly shines and I hope
you will celebrate with us.
In addition to raising money to support student scholarship programs, this year's Gala will benefit the Center for Communicating Science. The Center works to enhance understanding of science by helping train the next generation of scientists and health professionals to communicate more effectively with the public, public officials, the media, and others outside their own discipline.
Acclaimed actor, director, writer, Stony Brook University visiting professor and founding board member of the Center, Alan Alda has had a lifelong passion for science. After interviewing hundreds of scientists in his role as host of the PBS series "Scientific American Frontiers," he realized how important it is for scientists to possess strong communication skills. To meet this need, he played a key role in creating the Center for Communicating Science and remains actively involved in its work, including championing workshops that use improvisational theater games to help scientists communicate more directly and personally.
We are again offering faculty and staff tickets at a reduced price of $500 per ticket or $5,000 for a table of ten. In addition, we are pleased to offer chartered coach transportation to/from the Gala. Buses will depart from campus and return immediately afterwards. Space is limited and available on a first come, first served basis. Reservations are required.
To purchase tickets and reserve seats on the bus, please complete and return the response form (link below) or contact Nicole Piampiano at 632-4197 or email@example.com.
Thank you in advance for supporting our students through the 2013 Stars of Stony Brook Gala. I look forward to celebrating with you on April 24.

The five best parts of "Spidermonster: The Musical," the latest heaping of dirt on the grave of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark (from Sesame Street, of all places):
5. The gloriously over-the-top female announcer ("And now…curtain, up! On Spider-Monster…THE MYYYOOOOSICAL!!!").
4. Mr. Johnson's subtle "Hm, I wonder where everyone else is?" dig at the show's poor attendance.
3. The way the guitar and vocal line on "I Am Spider-Monster" directly imitates the chorus of U2′s "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" (which, having never seen the show, we presume every song in Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark sounds exactly like).
