As a principal cinematographer on four episodes of the National Geographic series "Great Migrations," Bob Poole captured intimate close-ups of Mali's desert elephants, specifically a remote and dangerous herd that was difficult to film.
Poole used two Fujinon lenses, a HA25X11.5BERD HD lightweight telephoto lens and a HA13x4.5BRD HD wide-angle, ENG-style lens, to capture all of his "Great Migrations" footage. When the winds were particularly heavy, Poole often employed his TS-P58 image stabilizer from Fujinon.
"Mali elephants are terrified of vehicles, so all my filming had to be done on foot and without them knowing I was there," Poole said. "I needed to get as close as possible, but it was too dangerous to use anything other than a long lens, except for wide shots and scenics. Between my two lenses, I had the full range covered."
"When shooting wildlife, you have to capture behavior as it's happening. In the past, I used a telephoto prime, and it was difficult to train the lens on the action in time. Now, with the 25x, I can zoom out to find the subject and quickly bring it back to a close-up. If I'm set up, balanced and level, I don't miss important moments of behavior anymore."
According to Poole, the HA25x11.5BERD telephoto lens compresses distance in a way that provides greater impact to the visuals.
"The lens has a close focus and works nicely for macro shots. I can fill the frame with an ant or with the head of a poisonous snake without getting dangerously close."
The environmental conditions in Mali were the most challenging of Poole's career. He experienced extreme temperatures of 125 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade and blowing sand and dust. However, the most extreme condition was the sandstorm. The HA13.4.5 wide-angle lens was able to capture the size of the oncoming sandstorm against the landscape, while the HA25x11.5BERD telephoto lens showed the speed that it was moving.
The lenses were paired with a Sony HDW-F900 HDCAM camcorder for the first half of the two-and-a-half year project, and Poole later changed to a Sony PDW-700 XDCAM.

Single Finest Certified 1868 Dual Denomination Five Dollar-25 Franc Judd-659 in Aluminum, PR661868 $5 Dual Denomination $5-25 Francs, Judd-659, Pollock-732, Low R.7, PR66 NGC. The French-American experiment to make the half eagle more closely resemble the French 25 franc also extended to aluminum coins, such as the present piece. A Liberty head faces left. Two ribbons bind her hair, the foreribbon reading LIBERTY and tied with a diadem. The date is below, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. A wreath of laurel and oak surrounds 5 DOLLARS / 25 FRANCS. Struck in aluminum with a plain edge.
The dies were designed by Anthony Paquet. Although his talents as a coin engraver have often been condemned as modest and his efforts as mostly ugly, a gentler view takes into account that Mint Chief Engraver James B. Longacre gave him little room for artistic growth on circulation coinage. Numerous of his Mint medals, where he was given considerably more latitude, show considerable innovation and technical accomplishment.
This delightful aluminum piece shows marvelous cameo contrast on both sides, with untroubled, distraction-free surfaces. In PR66, this piece is the single finest certified at NGC by two grade points, and PCGS has certified only a single PR65 at the highest graded at that service (3/08). (NGC ID# 29PD, PCGS# 60877)

Push through the door on 3rd Ave – the red light tells you if it's open or not – then descend into Vancouver's coolest small bar. Little bigger than a train carriage and lined with junk-shop pictures, it's an atmospheric nook that always feels like midnight. In summer, try the hidden tiki bar out back for a Dark & Stormy or three.
Mac-and-cheese is the fuel-up dish of choice here, or you can just have another whiskey and hope for the best – but if the mangy bear head on the wall stars talking to you, it's probably time to call it a night. Popular with Main St hipsters, this is a great location to spot local lads and their attempts to grow full-on Noah beards.

Alfonzo Dennard absence at practice due to Nebraska court appearance
|01.17.13 at 1:06 pm ET
Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was back at practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday because he was attending a required pretrial hearing in Nebraska related to his felony arrest last April for allegedly assaulting a police officer. On Wednesday, the Patriots listed Dennard as not participating in practice for non-injury reasons.
Dennard, who played at the University of Nebraska, flew out to appear at the District Court of Lancaster County after being charged for an April 21, 2012 arrest, which also included two related misdemeanors outside a Lincoln, Neb. bar. He was charged with punching a police officer during a disturbance.
The court documents from Wednesday indicate a trial date has been officially set for Feb. 11, 2013, ensuring it will occur after the NFL season, which ends with Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3 in New Orleans. Dennard had his trial delayed in July and again in November.
Dennard was projected as NFL-caliber corner out of Nebraska but his value slipped with the arrest shortly before the NFL draft. The Patriots selected him in the seventh round. He played 10 games this season, starting seven and recording 35 tackles and three interceptions.
He started and had three tackles and a forced fumble against the Texans last Sunday in the AFC divisional round.

US lawmaker threatens Nepal aid over Tibetans
Washington: A US lawmaker has threatened to
strip Nepal of its millions of dollars in US aid unless it
permits refugees fleeing Chinese rule in Tibet to transit
through the country.
Nepal is the main route for Tibetans who seek to go into
exile, but the country has increasingly cracked down on
Tibetans` movement and activities out of fear of upsetting its
giant neighbor to the north.
Representative Frank Wolf, who sits on the House
Appropriations Committee that determines US funding, said he
would try to block funding to Nepal unless it grants exit
visas to Tibetans who seek refuge in the United States.
"We`re not just going to cut them, we`re going to zero
them out," said Wolf, a Republican from Virginia and outspoken
critic of China.
"If they`re not willing to do it, then they don`t share
our values and if they don`t share our values, we do not want
to share our dollars," he told a congressional hearing on
Tibet yesterday.
Wolf said he would propose the aid cutoff if Nepal`s
record does not improve by the time the United States looks at
foreign aid funding next year.
Human rights groups have frequently accused Nepal of
arbitrary arrests and harassment of Tibetans. In July, Nepal
prevented its 20,000-strong Tibetan community from celebrating
the birthday of spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.
The United States has supported Nepal as the Himalayan
nation recovers from a bloody decade-long civil war.
The US Agency for International Development says it sought
USD 57.7 million for Nepal in the 2010 fiscal year and that
its efforts to provide the developing nation`s children with
Vitamin A have averted some 15,000 deaths a year.

I was looking for an engine to buy for analyzing etc. I have windows vista. I read fritz 10 is too powerful for novices but I didn't want it for playing against computer anyway. Any suggestions?
I use Houdini (rated at 3000+ ELO) in combination with the "SCID vs PC" interface. Both are available freely online, just google it.
I use Chessmaster, which is a powerful tool for players rated lower than 2000. It has also useful comments and many tips to learn. Oh, and its very cheap.
Fritz costs a bit more, but its worth it. Its a giant database of tips, puzzles and openings. You can even let personalized virtual characters analyse your game.
Houdini with more than 3000 rating isnt free. Only the old, lowrated version is free.
But you can buy Fritz and install other chess engines if you dont like the one built in. Suggestions:
Houdini (old version is free, new version world master)
Rybka (old version is free, got banned from contests because they copied some code from other engines)
Shredder (winner of 2011 software championsship, so my personal topsuggestion, also a blitz specialist)
HIARCS and JUNIOR (free version available, very fast on slow computers)
Stockfish (best free engine, open source)
In Chessmaster, you can build your own chess engines with no programming, but you may need to experiment a bit with them.
Oh, Chessmaster is very old. The engine has just rating ~2900 USCF.
I would suggest just downloading stockfish for free. The difference between it and Houdini is negligable.
Of course, stockfish is great too.

Maria Island Race - Record-breaker Cougar II adds IRC win
by Peter Campbell on 18 Nov 2012
Provisional AMS handicap winner The Fork in the Road - 2012 Maria Island Yacht Race Dane Lojek
Maria Island Race line honours winner Cougar II has added first place on IRC corrected time to her record-breaking race time, with IRC handicap results and provisional AMS handicap results announced this morning by the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania.
Only two yachts had yet to finish the 180 nautical mile ocean race around the rugged south-east of Tasmania at 7am today, but both Footloose and Kaiulani are in the River Derwent on the final leg to the finish off Castray Esplanade at Battery Point.
During last night Fordplay joined Auch as retiring from the race which saw 16 boats set sail from Hobart at 7pm on Friday evening.
Tony Lyall's TP52, Cougar II, finished the race at 2.22pm yesterday but as the breeze faded and the ebbing tide got stronger the next yacht, Gary Smith's Bakewell-White 45, The Fork in the Road, did not cross the line until 6.09pm.
The Ker 11.7 Dump Truck, skippered by Justin Wells, followed at 8.37pm with Royce Salter's Kaufman 36 Ramrod sailing a fine race to finish at 9.21pm, 20 minutes ahead of the MBD36, Whistler.
On corrected time, under IRC ratings, Cougar II has been declared the winner from Fork in the Road and Dump Truck. IRC is the rating (handicap) system used for the Rolex Sydney Hobart in which Cougar II is expected to be one of the strong contenders for overall handicap honours.
Dump Truck is also a Tasmanian entrant in the Sydney Hobart, along with Anthony Williams' Martela and Rob Fisher's Helsal III.
Provisional top three placings under AMS handicaps have gone to The Fork in the Road from Ramrod and Dump Truck but PHS handicap results will not be announced until all yachts have finished the course.
The performance of The Fork in Road marks an impressive return to long ocean racing after a break of two years by owner/skipper Gary Smith. The yacht is the likely favourite for line honours in this year's Launceston to Hobart Yacht Race in late December.
The outstanding performance by the smaller boats has been that of Ramrod, whose skipper Royce Salter got out of a sick bed to compete in the Maria Island Race with his 36-footer.
Salter, like Tony Lyall (Cougar II), Gary Smith (The Fork in the Road) and Justin Wells (Dump Truck) are all members of the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania which has been running the Maria Island Race since 1947.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about record collector and DJ, Danny Lemon, whose internationally renowned record collection went up in smoke when fire swept through dozens of Wellington storage units in April.
OPINION: As soon as that issue hit the news stands, emails began rolling in from concerned citizens touched by Danny's story.
Many came from people who'd been present at house, soul and reggae gigs where Danny had been DJ, who testified to their musical horizons being broadened by the special records Danny had played.
A few drifted in from Danny's mates, pointing out that I'd called him Danny Setford when his real surname was Scotford; in my defence, my memory is deteriorating with age, and I'd always known him primarily by his DJ name - Lemon.
A swag of people wrote in seeking more info regarding the fire itself. Was it true that the suspected arsonist had been captured on security camera, they asked? Was this man still in custody? Had he pleaded guilty or not guilty?
What about the burnt belongings of everyone else who'd had their prized possessions in the Kiwi Self Storage units? Were all these people covered by any sort of collective insurance?
There are far too many questions to reply to individually, so I would direct these people to that fount of all modern knowledge and speculation, Google, for further information.
The facts of the case are complex and still before the courts. But irrespective of such detail, what comes through strongly is a profound sense of collective loss, with a great deal of priceless music destroyed by the flames, and this was felt most intensely by a community of people who, like Danny, were long-term record collectors themselves.
Most of these correspondents had never met Danny, yet felt compelled to write to me to express their dismay. People wanted to know what they could do to help. I will tell you. You can cough up $30 and buy a copy of this remarkable poster, pictured.
Photographed by artist Philippa O'Brien, designed by Unit Seven's Sam Brown and entitled Recording Fire: Danny Lemon's Authentic Selection 1974-2014, the poster displays 35 of the 8500 records DJ Danny "Lemon" Scotford lost in the fire.
The featured records were chosen by Danny himself, and proceeds from the poster sales will aid him in rebuilding his 40-year collection.
To record geeks like myself, this is a richly resonant image, despite its inherent melancholy. Here, after all, are the charred remains of some of the greatest vinyl records ever made.
Studio One, Wackies, Strictly Rhythm, Joe Gibbs, Trax, DEB, Love + Inity, Greensleeves, Nu Groove, Blakamix, Undaground Therapy, Cajual, CTI - the names of the pictured record labels roll off the tongue like a sacred liturgy to record collectors due to the emotional power of the music released down the decades.
Smoke and mirrors. Burnt offerings. Melting moments. Thirty-five exceptional records, rendered unplayable, but still possessed of some strange power.
I love that something so positive as an art project has arisen from the ashes of a tragedy, and my copy of the poster is at the framer's.
O'Brien has also taken a selection of other images, both of the munted records themselves, and of the clean-up operation, and limited edition art prints of these are also offered for sale as a fundraiser.
An exhibition of the prints has just gone up in Poquito, a cafe and bar in Wellington's Tory Street, and a show featuring some of O'Brien's other photographic work opens at Photospace Gallery in Courtenay Place from Friday, June 27.
A book is also planned, with the stories behind key records sitting alongside evocative images of their scorched remains. Interested parties are invited to contact the photographer directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"A few people told me they couldn't possibly buy this fundraising poster because it's too heartbreaking," says O'Brien from her Wellington home.
"But to me, it's a deeply symbolic image, and ultimately what it symbolises is something very positive. When I talked to Danny, there's just so many stories behind all these records - the people who made them, the labels they're on, the politics and ideology and emotion behind the music. And there's something beautiful about them as objects, too, even when they've been destroyed by intense heat. You look at that poster, and it's as if those stories have somehow lived on, even through the fire."

If there's a particular time of the year that we really, really like to drink gin, it's the summer. There's something about a gin and tonic on a warm summer night that just seems so right, you know? In fact, sometimes it seems a bit too right.
In the spirit of summer gin, we just got in a bottle of Beefeater Summer, a london dry gin with elderflower, black currant, and hibiscus flowers. We haven't tasted it yet (it's only nine in the morning, and we like to wait until at least eleven before we have liquor breath), but a quick sniff tells us it's light and fruity, and could be extra dangerous on those aforementioned summer nights.
Luckily, it's slightly lower test than regular Beefeater, clocking in at 80 proof instead of the standard 94, which might just save our bacon. It'll retail for about $20 per 750ML bottle, so look for it in your local liquor store, and we'll get our review up ASAP for this limited-run spirit.

Youssouf Mulumbu has denied reports he wants to leave West Brom in January for a "more classy" club.
Quotes were attributed to the Congolese midfielder last week regarding his future at the club and the professionalism of his team-mates.
The 26-year-old was also reported as saying a move to Arsenal was on the cards.
However, Mulumbu has insisted he was misrepresented and assured fans he is fully committed to Steve Clarke's side.
"I did an interview with a French journalist last week but I am not very happy about how my answers have been reported," he told West Brom's official website.
"I have been here for five years now and would never refer to my team-mates that way. I just spoke about the fact we need to get better at controlling games after the points we've let slip recently.
"The general point I was trying to make in the interview is that I want to play at the highest level possible.
"I admitted there has been interest in me from other clubs during my time here but I didn't speak about Arsenal and I also didn't say I would be looking to move in January."
Mulumbu arrived at The Hawthorns in 2009 and recognises both he and the club have developed positively.
"Not many people had heard of me when I joined West Brom and I have a lot of respect for the club and, of course, the supporters," he added.
"We have progressed together over the past five years and West Brom gave me my chance in the Premier League, which I'm grateful for.
"I signed a new contract last summer and my only focus is supporting my team-mates tomorrow (in the game against Manchester City) and then trying to help the club finish as high up the table as possible."

text: Home > Lifestyle > Man > News 02 November 2012 Predicting what topics will trend on Twitter A new algorithm predicts which Twitter topics will trend hours in advance and offers a new technique for analyzing data that fluctuate over time. 1 Follow us Facebook » Ask CyberShrink » Receive Health tips » Test Your sex toy IQ » All the tests you'll ever need 8 strange things your body does Twitter's home page features a regularly updated list of topics that are "trending," meaning that tweets about them have suddenly exploded in volume. A position on the list is highly coveted as a source of free publicity, but the selection of topics is automatic, based on a proprietary algorithm that factors in both the number of tweets and recent increases in that number. At the Interdisciplinary Workshop on Information and Decision in Social Networks at MIT in November, Associate Professor Devavrat Shah and his student, Stanislav Nikolov, will present a new algorithm that can, with 95% accuracy, predict which topics will trend an average of an hour and a half before Twitter's algorithm puts them on the list — and sometimes as much as four or five hours before. The algorithm could be of great interest to Twitter, which could charge a premium for ads linked to popular topics, but it also represents a new approach to statistical analysis that could, in theory, apply to any quantity that varies over time: the duration of a bus ride, ticket sales for films, maybe even stock prices. Like all machine-learning algorithms, Shah and Nikolov's needs to be "trained": it combs through data in a sample set — in this case, data about topics that previously did and did not trend — and tries to find meaningful patterns. What distinguishes it is that it's nonparametric, meaning that it makes no assumptions about the shape of patterns. Let the data decide In the standard approach to machine learning, Shah explains, researchers would posit a "model" — a general hypothesis about the shape of the pattern whose specifics need to be inferred. "You'd say, 'Series of trending things … remain small for some time and then there is a step,'" says Shah, the Jamieson Career Development Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. "This is a very simplistic model. Now, based on the data, you try to train for when the jump happens, and how much of a jump happens. "The problem with this is, I don't know that things that trend have a step function," Shah explains. "There are a thousand things that could happen." So instead, he says, he and Nikolov "just let the data decide." In particular, their algorithm compares changes over time in the number of tweets about each new topic to the changes over time of every sample in the training set. Samples whose statistics resemble those of the new topic are given more weight in predicting whether the new topic will trend or not. In effect, Shah explains, each sample "votes" on whether the new topic will trend, but some samples' votes count more than others'. The weighted votes are then combined, giving a probabilistic estimate of the likelihood that the new topic will trend. In Shah and Nikolov's experiments, the training set consisted of data on 200 Twitter topics that did trend and 200 that didn't. In real time, they set their algorithm loose on live tweets, predicting trending with 95 percent accuracy and a 4 percent false-positive rate. Shah predicts, however, that the system's accuracy will improve as the size of the training set increases. "The training sets are very small," he says, "but we still get strong results." Keeping pace Of course, the larger the training set, the greater the computational cost of executing Shah and Nikolov's algorithm. Indeed, Shah says, curbing computational complexity is the reason that machine-learning algorithms typically employ parametric models in the first place. "Our computation scales proportionately with the data," Shah says. But on the Web, he adds, computational resources scale with the data, too: As Facebook or Google add customers, they also add servers. So his and Nikolov's algorithm is designed so that its execution can be split up among separate machines. "It is perfectly suited to the modern computational framework," Shah says. In principle, Shah says, the new algorithm could be applied to any sequence of measurements performed at regular intervals. But the correlation between historical data and future events may not always be as clear cut as in the case of Twitter posts. Filtering out all the noise in the historical data might require such enormous training sets that the problem becomes computationally intractable even for a massively distributed program. But if the right subset of training data can be identified, Shah says, "It will work." "People go to social-media sites to find out what's happening now," says Ashish Goel, an associate professor of management science at Stanford University and a member of Twitter's technical advisory board. "So in that sense, speeding up the process is something that is very useful." Of the MIT researchers' nonparametric approach, Goel says, "it's very creative to use the data itself to find out what trends look like. It's quite creative and quite timely and hopefully quite useful."

As a collective, Minnesota sports fans probably embrace Schandenfreude -- that delicious German word meaning to take pleasure in the misfortune of others -- more than other places. We need not pick at all the scabs to explain why. Suffice to say, the combination of painful losses and too few championships has given us a company-loves-misery (yes, in that order) attitude.
That brings us to this past Saturday. It's hard to believe, but it was just under two years ago when the Vikings and Saints played in a memorable (and ultimately bitter, for Vikings fans) NFC title game. Brett Favre ended with a bruised and swollen ankle. The Vikings left with another chapter in a painful history -- and a new disdain for the Saints.
And as the Vikings stumbled to a 3-13 mark this year while the Saints motored on at 13-3, the distance between the two franchises grew -- until Saturday. Yes, it was a divisional playoff game and not a conference title game. Yes, New Orleans fans still have a recent Super Bowl to fall back on. But the manner in which the Saints fell to San Francisco was reminiscent enough of that cruel day nearly two years ago to make the worst of us feel better. Consider all the similarities:
• The Saints, like the Vikings two years ago, took an offensively explosive team on the road into a game many experts thought they would win. They had a quarterback who was largely playing mistake-free football on the way to a statistically eye-popping season.
• The Saints, like the Vikings, bumbled away opportunities and fell behind largely because of a potentially crippling turnover disparity. New Orleans lost three fumbles and was intercepted twice, while only causing one turnover of its own. That's exactly how the turnover battle finished up in the NFC title game two years ago, only that time it went against the Vikings.
• In spite of all the giveaways on the road -- usually a recipe for a blowout -- the Saints were in prime position to win on Saturday just as the Vikings were two years ago. A Drew Brees touchdown pass with less than 2 minutes left put the Saints up on San Francisco just as a late drive with the game tied looked as though it could yield the winning points for the Vikings.
• In both cases, of course, heartbreak followed in extremely cruel fashion. The Vikings had the infamous huddle incident, the infamous interception, and the rest is history. The Saints watched Alex Smith -- at one point a candidate to be among the biggest busts among No. 1 overall picks in NFL history -- beat them on a TD pass with nine seconds left.
While none of it eases the sting of two years ago, it doesn't mean Vikings fans can't enjoy a little Schadenfreude.
Oh, and that second game on Sunday didn't hurt, either.

Kentucky Case To Use "Black Box" Technology, Growing Number of Cases Nationwide
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A northern Kentucky manslaughter trial could join a growing number of cases nationwide in which jurors receive information from data recorders pulled from vehicles.
Federal officials estimate the so-called "black boxes" -- similar to those found in aircraft -- are installed in 15 percent of the nation's 200 million passenger vehicles. Like their aerial counterparts, the black boxes in cars and trucks keep precise information about speed and braking just before a crash.
The northern Kentucky case begins in January in Kenton County.
Lloyd Robinson, of Florence, faces a manslaughter charge in the May 2003 death of Kentucky Fish & Wildlife Resources Officer Doug Bryant. Prosecutors say Bryant stopped Robinson along Interstate 75 near Florence, but Robinson sped away after Bryant got out of his truck to approach Robinson's car.
They both crashed, and Bryant, 62, was killed.
Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Bill Crockett said black-box data from Robinson's car confirmed witness accounts that he had been traveling 70 to 80 mph at the time of the crash.
The trial had been scheduled for this summer but was delayed after the judge ordered Crockett to subpoena Ford Motor Co. for the data from Bryant's truck and make it available to Robinson's lawyer.
Dean Pisacano, who is representing Robinson, said he is not sure yet whether the technology used in the truck will be useful.
"But the commonwealth had the data from our vehicle, so we wanted to be on a level playing field," he said.
Crockett said experts told him the more limited information available from the Ford box wouldn't be relevant to his case because the data from the truck's older-version recorder is less reliable when the vehicle flips over, as Bryant's did.
Mike Vaughn, a technology spokesman for Ford, said all Fords have had data recorders since 2002, but only a few models have advanced capabilities that have been the focus of critics of the technology.
Some of the boxes can record such information as pre-crash speed, braking, direction of travel and even seat-belt use. Police and lawyers say black boxes have value for investigating crashes and making driving safer.
But American Civil Liberties Union lawyers say motorists don't necessarily know their vehicles have them, and information from the recorders could be used to invade people's privacy.
"I think our position would basically be that consumers should receive clear notices when black boxes are installed, and they should be able to turn them off if they want," said Jay Stanley, a spokesman for the ACLU's Technology and Privacy Project. "And finally, the data should not be accessible to third parties."
State Police are testing the devices and using them, but only in investigations.
"We're not going to be able to pull you over and plug into the computer on your car and find out how fast you were going," Trooper John Giles said.
Some recorders are "asleep" and turn on only during hard braking or when an airbag deploys. Others remain on but constantly overwrite data.
The National Transportation Safety Board recently recommended that the government require recorders in all vehicles, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it would not yet support that. Instead, the NHTSA plans to require by 2008 that all carmakers that install the recorders accept new technology standards.
Dealers are not required to tell buyers about data recorders, but the NHTSA says it likely will require notification soon. Last year, California became the first state to require notices to consumers.
The earliest data recorders were put in some General Motors vehicles in the 1970s to measure airbag performance. Today, all GM models and a growing number of Fords and Chryslers have advanced recorders. Toyota has begun installing advanced recorders in some models, and Honda uses one that records only if an airbag deploys. BMW and Volkswagen do not install them.
Rae Tyson, spokesman for the NHTSA, said the agency has not required black boxes in all vehicles because the industry is moving toward that on its own.
"The recorders provide data that is immensely helpful to us," Tyson said. "But there are issues relating to (the boxes) that frankly go far beyond the pure research questions. These questions -- whether they involve the ownership of the data collected or other privacy issues -- all need to be dealt with in other forums."

Le Pavillon Hotel - New Orleans
Spectacular but old and tired
We stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed the walk to the French Quarter and the Riverside. It was convenient for the trolley and the Hop-on-hop-off bus. The hotel itself is a bit old and tired. The shower was not easy to use and didn't have much water flow. We had to ask several times for glasses and towels to be replaced. The cleaning was a bit slap-dash. The reception staff were friendly and helpful as was the doorman but the bar staff were not. It is in a good spot but I would not recommend this hotel until it has been refurbished.

Reservation Disaster
Hotel is nice enough, some rooms are nicer than others.My 18 year-olds room was nicer, and cooler, than mine, except for the wiring problems...read on. Our problems started at check-in (got there about 4:30, check-in time stated as 3:00). Told we were about 25 rooms down in "the que". Took my number and said they would call me! Nope, about an hour later I went to desk,was told one of my two rooms was ready, but no idea when on the other (supposed to be connected,but told that wouldn't happen, even tho the room that WAS ready was a connecting room, they had put someone else in the adjoining room!!). Long story short, at 1130pm that night our other room was ready, ON A DIFFERENT FLOOR!! And the bathroom light wouldn't work, we were told not "to be flicking the switches because something may happen" OMG, REALLY??? Yes really. And then I had a bill for BOTH ROOMS the next morning! ! The manager Jessica was great and removed all charges for the second room, even room service breakfast for 2. I was ready to go to the management company if they would have charged me...and believe me, the review would have been all "0's" if I was made to pay for that second room! BTW the breakfast is REALLY good between 4 of us we had omlets, waffles, pancakes, fruit, it was all wonderful!!

Baby's 1st Birthday
We went for our baby's 1 year old birthday. So fun!! The Jazz brunch on Sunday is totally worth it. The pianist played great songs and they started a Second Line t/o the restaurant with our little one leading. The roof top view is nice and the pool looked great. The night time sandwich bar was an awesome treat!
