[I was on vacation for a few days.]

Just before I left, Melissa Ness discovered that instrumental fiber number is a good predictor of whether or not two stars will get similar abundances in APOGEE, either with The Cannon or with the standard pipeline! This is perhaps not a surprise: The different fibers have different line-spread functions, and sit on different parts of the detector. We discussed how to mitigate this, and looked at the dependence of the issues on fiber number and line-spread function FWHM separately.

For the nth time, I re-wrote my abstract (that is, the scope of a possible paper) on what you could learn about a star's intrinsic properties from a Gaia-like parallax measurement. I think the focus perhaps should be the subjectivity of it: What you can learn depends on what you know and believe.

Hans-Walter Rix decided that my talk at the end of this week should be on the graphical model as a tool for data analysis. I hope he is right!

DFM and I worked through issues remaining in our MCMC Data Analysis Recipes paper, which I would like to post on the arXiv this month (or next!). We also worked through some remaining issues in his long-period transiting exoplanet paper, in which he discovers and estimates the population of very long-period planets in the Kepler data.

David Weinberg (OSU) gave a nice talk about how stellar populations come to chemical equilibria, making use of nucleosynthetic models. He looked at how star-formation events might appear in the metallicity distribution. He also showed the beautiful data on the alpha-abundance bimodality in the APOGEE data, but in the end did not give a confident explanation of that bimodality, which really is intriguing.

I also had a substantial chat with Matthias Samland about his project to constrain the directly emitted infrared spectrum of an exoplanet using multiple data sources. He has the usual issues of inconsistent data calibration, correlated noise in extracted spectra, and the simultaneous fitting of photometry and spectroscopy. It looks like he will have lots of good conclusions, though: The specta are highly informative.

Dan Foreman-Mackey opined that the main thing I was communicating with my ur-complex probabilistic graphical model for stars and Gaia is it's complicated. So I built a simplified pgm, crushing all the stellar physics into one node, with the intention of blowing up that node into its own model in a separate figure.

I had a great conversation at lunch with David Weinberg (OSU) about stellar chemical abundances, and in particular whether we could show that chemical diversity is larger than can be explained with any model in which supernovae ejecta get fully mixed into the ISM. He pointed out that while there does appear to be diversity among stars, in certain directions the diversity of abundance ratios is extremely tiny; in particular: Although the alpha/Fe distribution is bimodal, at any Fe/H, the two modes are both very narrow! That's super-interesting.

Today Coryn Bailer-Jones (MPIA) gave a great talk at MPIA about the upcoming first data release from the Gaia mission. It will be called "Gaia DR-1" and it will contain a primary release of the TGAS sample of about 2 million stars with proper motions and parallaxes, and a secondary release of about a billion stars with just positions. He walked us through why the DR-1 data will be very limited relative to later releases. But (as my loyal reader knows) I am stoked! The talk was clear and complete, and gives us all lots to think about.

In the morning, Hans-Walter Rix and I met with Karin Lind (MPIA), Maria Bergemann (MPIA), Sven Buder (MPIA), Morgan Fouesneau (MPIA), and Joachim Bestenlehner (MPIA) to talk about how we combine Gaia parallaxes with optical and infrared spectroscopy to determine stellar parameters. The meeting was inspired by inconsistencies between how we expected people to use the spectral and astrometric data. We learned in the meeting that there are simple ways forward to improve both the spectral analysis and things that will be done with Gaia. I showed the crowd my probabilistic graphical model (directed acyclic graph) and we used it to guide the discussion. Almost as useful as showing the PGM for the full problem was showing the PGMs for what is being done now. As my loyal reader knows, I think PGMs are great for communicating about problem structure, and planning code.

I spent some time discussing ABC today with Joe Hennawi (MPIA) and Fred Davies (MPIA), with some help from Dan Foreman-Mackey. The context is the transmission of the IGM (the forest) at very high redshift. We discussed the distance metric to use when you are comparing two distributions, and I suggested the K-S statistic. I suggested this not because I love it, but because there is experience in the literature with it. For ABC to work (I think) all you need is that the distance metric go to zero if and only if the data statistics equal the simulation statistics, and that the metric be convex (which perhaps is implied in the word "distance metric"; I'm not sure about that). That said, the ease with which you can ABC sample depends strongly on the choice (and details within that choice). There is a lot of art to the ABC method. We don't expect the sampling in the Hennawi–Davies problem to be easy.

As part of the above discussion, Foreman-Mackey pointed out that when you do an MCMC sampling, you can be hurt by unimportant nuisance parameters. That is, if you add 100 random numbers to your inference as additional parametersL, each of which has no implications for the likelihood at all, your MCMC still may slow way down, because you still have to accept/reject the prior! Crazy, but true, I think.

In other news, Christina Eilers (MPIA) showed today that she can simultaneously optimize the internal parameters of The Cannon and the labels of training-set objects with missing labels! The context is labeling dwarf stars in the SEGUE data, using labels from Gaia-ESO. This is potentially a big step for data-driven spectral inference, because right now we are restricted (very severely) to training sets with complete labels.

In the late morning, there was an absolutely great Milky Way Group meeting. I love this forum. Ted von Hippel (Embry-Riddle) walked us through the use of white dwarfs as clocks, and the method by which one could constrain (very precisely, in principle) the star-formation history of the Solar Neighborhood, especially post-Gaia. He argued strongly (and correctly) that the right method is not to make a histogram of temperatures! Some of the physics is non-trivial: The less massive WDs are larger, so I would expect them to cool much faster (more surface area, less stuff to store heat), but apparently this isn't so, for detailed reasons about heat capacity.

Also in that meeting, Nicholas Martin (Strasbourg) told us about the possibility that some of the new ultra-faint dwarfs being found in the Local Group might be LMC or SMC satellites, and Haijun Tian (MPIA) showed us the latest on proper motions from PanSTARRS. On the latter, even the first data release from Gaia (that only releases positions for the relevant stars) will be hugely informative.

Mark Allen (CDS Strasbourg) told us about the structure and projects at the CDS, which is one of the most important and long-lived archives and data centers in astronomy. The CDS is composed not just of astronomers, but also data librarians, concerned with long-term preservation and correctness. The CDS is going to be one of the Gaia data-release points, so we pressed him for details!

Over lunch, I discussed with Sara Rezaei (MPIA) and Coryn Bailer-Jones (MPIA) and more of the MPIA Gaia group their non-parametric model for Milky Way dust, which my loyal reader will remember from discussions in summers past. Rezaei has a working system, but (as predicted) the linear algebra is extremely expensive. I showed them a method to collapse their problem to a smaller problem that is instantiated only at the stars, and nowhere else (that is, to live the non-parametric dream!). If we are lucky, this might give them speedups of hundreds or more. Here's hoping.

I decided to take a shot at writing up a short note around our stellar-parameters-in-the-age-of-Gaia probabilistic graphical model (directed acyclic graph). The first step was turning our hand-drawn model and typesetting it with Daft. In the process I found some "issues" with Daft, if you know what I'm sayin'. I discussed a bit with Hans-Walter Rix what should be the scope and abstract of this note. He came up with a simple demonstration that Sven Buder (MPIA) could do with some stellar models and an MCMC sampler to support the document.

In the afternoon, Taisiya Kopytova (MPIA) pitched a project to Melissa Ness and I: Find the chemical differences between the APOGEE targets with and without low-mass stellar companions. There should be some! Because we can make large, matched samples of stars with and without companions, we ought to be able to perform this test very precisely. This relates to things we talked about with Kevin Schlaufman (OCIW) many months ago; we will bring him into the loop.

Dan Foreman-Mackey showed up in Heidelberg today. Hans-Walter Rix and I interviewed him about his ideas around training The Cannon when the training-set objects have noisy labels. We came up with some simple ideas, and Foreman-Mackey thinks it might even be possible to just sample the whole thing. I'm skeptical, but it is also the case that Jonathan Weare (Chicago) and Charles Matthews (Chicago) both also said the same thing to me when I spoke in Chicago this past Spring.

In related news, Anna-Christina Eilers (MPIA) is working with The Cannon in a context in which some of her training-set objects are completely missing some labels. We discussed how to simultaneously optimize the internal model parameters and the missing label values. It should work, but the conversation really reminded me of the regrettable point that The Cannon is just a maximum-likelihood system!

In a long conversation in Rix's office, Melissa Ness, Rix, and I drew a graphical model for stellar parameter estimation in the age of Gaia. Rix has an intuition that we are going to want to use different parameters when we are combining photometry, spectroscopy, and astrometry. I think he is right. Is our probabilistic graphical model publishable?

I spent some research time on the weekend working on the question that Joe Hennawi (MPIA) asked me on Friday: What is the sensitivity of a telescope and detector to very faint features on the sky as a function of aperture diameter and focal ratio? There are various regimes to consider. In one, the object is much smaller than a resolution element on the focal plane (the point source limit). In another, much larger, but still much smaller than the detector as a whole. In another, larger even than the detector array. There are slightly different answers in each case, but the large telescope does better in the first two cases, and even in the third if the faint object has any structure on the scale of the detector. I wrote words about this and wondered if there was something to publish (informally or otherwise). Of course small telescopes often have much better optics and scattered light properties, so this isn't the end of the story!
Hogghttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10448119.post-28230857067997482282016-07-08T23:59:00.000-04:002016-07-10T07:42:53.802-04:00clusters, telescopes, and pixel models
In the morning, Melissa Ness showed me very strong evidence that not all open clusters are mono-abundance! This is surprising, and violates my expectations based on recent work by Jo Bovy. It doesn't literally conflict with his results, because the clusters in which we find this are not the clusters he looked at, and the elements we find it in are exposed only subtly in the data. Now we have yet another paper to write this summer!

At lunch, Joe Hennawi (MPIA) interviewed me about the argument (often given by the builders of small telescope projects) that the surface-brightness sensitivity of a small telescope is just as good as that of a large telescope, provided that the detectors and f-ratios are similar. I have always been suspicious of this argument, and Hennawi shares my suspicion. We discussed the simplifications in the argument and planned to write out a well-posed data analysis question and answer it. A project for the garden.

Late in the day, Jeroen Bouwman (MPIA) showed me the results of running a CPM-like (modeling data with data) model on some Spitzer spectroscopy of a star through a planet transit, as we had discussed a few days ago. It looks like it does almost as well as a full calibration of the data. In precision, not accuracy though: There are some things that the data-driven model erases. This is the problem in general with data-driven models: When you go data-driven, you lose some aspects of interpretability.

At MPIA Galaxy Coffee, I learned about star-formation rates and dust in galaxy disks from Sarah Leslie (MPIA) and about galaxy nuclear star cluster formation from Nicolas Guillard (MPIA). Afterwards, I had a long conversation with Simon J. Murphy (Sydney) about his work on asteroseismic binary stars. I asked him to try doing some experiments towards building a (less approximate) likelihood for asteroseismic binary signals. We also talked about super-Nyquist frequency determination, and also his (very clever) idea for improving TESS by having the satellite disrupt its periodic sampling of stars each time it points back at Earth to downlink. This breaks the pure periodicity of the time sampling (in the spacecraft frame) and therefore delivers more information, without overly complexifying spacecraft operations or data analyses.

Late in the day I thought about weighing stars in Gaia using the "lensing" of unbound star trajectories. I am not sure it is possible, but it is interesting to think about.

A constant theme of the past summers in Heidelberg has been our unreadiness for the Gaia data releases. The first release is this September 14, so it really is now down to the wire. Hans-Walter Rix led a very interactive Milky Way Group Meeting today on the subject, where we first (with the help of Coryn Bailer-Jones MPIA) outlined the contents of the first data release, and then brain-stormed projects. Here (below) is the board after the first part. My view is that there are a lot of papers that could be published in the first week after the release, and good papers, too! But it is important to understand up-front what the restricted data release can and cannot do.

In the afternoon, I had a long conversation with Jeroen Bouwman (MPIA) and Juergen Schreiber (MPIA) about spectroscopy of exoplanet transits with infrared spectrographs. There are many systematic effects, some deterministically related to spacecraft state and pointing, some more stochastic, and the idea is to model them as accurately as possible. I suggested an approach very similar to Dun Wang's CPM, in which we model data pixel values at one wavelength using pixels at other wavelengths. We came up with first steps to try.

In the MPIA stellar physics group meeting today, in what might be the best seminar I have ever heard about the Kepler data, Simon J. Murphy (Sydney) told us about things he has been doing with delta-Scuti variable stars. There were so many results in his 30-minute discussion I can't even name them all here, but here are some highlights: delta-Scuti stars have such high coherence (Qs in the 105 or 106 range, or maybe even higher) that they are almost as good as pulsars as timing standards. By timing the stars, you can see binaries, and he has found hundreds of binaries. He can measure the binary parameters in the timing of every one of multiple modes! But there are some binaries where you can see the asteroseismic modes of both stars in the binary! Like double-lined spectroscopic binaries, these are double-moded asteroseismic binaries. Insane, and incredible tests of stellar physics. But that's not all: He has some that are even transiting too, to test radius models and more. Among his binaries are brown dwarfs, but also a few planets. One of these is a habitable-zone planet in orbit around an A-type star! That's a first, and very good for habitability, because it is near the triple-point for water but also has lots of blue photons for life-giving free energy! He showed eccentricity and period distributions for binaries, showing evidence for circularization at small radii and also showing posterior inferences about binaries at periods much longer than the Kepler mission lifetime. So. Many. Things.

In addition to this, Mia Lundkvist (LSW Heidelberg) gave a pedagogical introduction to asteroseismology and showed her evidence that super-Earths are getting ablated or destroyed or stripped when they are very close to their host stars. I spent the afternoon reading and editing in Dan Foreman-Mackey's latest draft for his long-period planet paper.
Hogghttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10448119.post-20968076923117004532016-07-04T23:59:00.000-04:002016-07-05T07:46:43.405-04:00stellar pairs too close for comfort?
Today started my summer at MPIA in Heidelberg. I had many conversations with Hans-Walter Rix about our various projects, and then spent a long time working with Melissa Ness on pairs of stars with near-identical abundances. Ness finds that if the stars are very, very close in 19-dimensional abundance space, they also tend to be close in position (like within 500 pc). That's hard to understand, since red-clump stars (her targets) are a few Gyr old, and in a few Gyr, two stars that are formed together ought to have drifted apart by a few kpc!

Her results are surprising if true. This left us at the end of the day with Ness working to see if there are any issues with the data that could be causing the problems, and Rix and I discussing possible astrophysical explanations. Julianne Dalcanton (UW) and Rix jointly suggested that we are finding disrupted binaries, that are disrupting because of the red-giant mass loss that leads to red-clumpiness! This explanation is insane but works on many levels. Now to test it.

I finished the zeroth draft of my philosophical paper on Dawkins. I sent it to a few friendlies for comments, and some of them gave fast responses which make me think I need to do massive revision! So it goes!

I had a long chat with Dan Foreman-Mackey about current projects and ideas. We discussed the sensibility (or not) of publishing the results (with Dun Wang and Bernhard Schölkopf) on using ICA to find or perform photometry on variable stars in crowded fields. I want to publish this, because it is so simple (and maybe contains some insight) but we can't see how this generalizes or wouldn't be demolished by even a simple forward model. We discussed a generalization of The Cannon that simultaneously fits a physical model and then a data-driven model for just the residuals away from that physical model. If we could get away with a linear model for the residuals, we could explicitly marginalize out a bunch of stuff. Foreman-Mackey reported on work by Benjamin Pope (Oxford) on photometry that connects to the OWL, my unpublished (and, really, dormant-to-dead) project on optimal photometry in bad imaging. I resolved to drop Pope a line.

In the morning, I worked on my philosophical writing, and in the afternoon, I met up with the Stream Team (the joint groups of Kathryn Johnston, Marla Geha, and me) at Columbia. Some of the discussion was about what we can learn from streams, with Ana Bonaca working on this by considering new kinds of data we could (in principle) have and comparing the inferences with those we can have now, and Adrian Price-Whelan working on this by fitting increasingly complex (or free) models for the Milky Way force-field. Some of the discussion was about new data, with Adrian Meyers (Yale) telling us about a putative new stellar stream (he calls it a "feature") he may have found by matched-filtering imaging from the DECam, and David Hendel (Columbia) showing us that the very precise RR Lyrae distances they are getting are not leading to a simple story about the Orphan Stream. Chervin Laporte (Columbia) discussed the possibility that thin disks could be used as antennae that respond sensitively to interactions and accretions; we discussed how we might look at this in the Milky Way with APOGEE and Gaia.

On the plane home I wrote an abstract for Jan Rybizki and my possible paper about the diversity of possible nucleosynthetic pathways for stars. It seems like there might be a paper to write! I also looked up (inspired by conversations with statistician Sarah Michalak of LANL) writing I did many years ago on how pundit Richard Dawkins mis-characterizes science and the work of scientists. Maybe I should brush that into shape?

I kicked off day 2 of the Cosmic Dawn meeting with a discussion of how Bayesian inference and marginalization of nuisances can be used to improve astronomical inferences with spectroscopy. It turned out I was preaching to the converted, because the next five or six talks all fully endorsed Bayesian approaches. This is a big change in our community. Along those lines, Brinchmann emphasized that Bayesian approaches are a good idea because they implicitly encourage investigators to make their decisions and assumptions explicit. I agree, although there is really nothing about frequentism that prevents this! Stenning showed a very nice, very simple, very good hierarchical inference of star-formation relationships among noisily observed galaxies; that warmed my heart.

Leja showed (reinforcing much vaguer content from my talk) that different models give different answers about galaxies even given the same data. He also showed that in general, inferred stellar masses and star-formation histories are inconsistent, which is potentially bad. He showed nice results that they can use photometry (plus serious, complex modeling) to predict spectroscopic indices (like line strengths). This is a great way to validate the models, because it makes comparisons in the space of observables, not latents. I talked to him and Ben Johnson afterwards about generalizing this idea for experimental design.

There was a lot of discussion (from Heckman, Erb, Henry) of the problem of understanding the Lyman-alpha luminosity density of the Universe, with all of them to some extent wondering whether we could predict Lyman-alpha emission from other (easier to observe) emission lines. That seems like an interesting project for data-driven approaches.

Today was the first day of the Cosmic Dawn of Galaxy Formation meeting in Paris, organized by Charlot and a cast of many. The meeting is not in any area I work these days, so I learned a huge amount. In general I find it very rewarding to go to meetings outside the areas in which I work. So much happened I can't possibly mention it all, but here are a few highlights:

Oesch showed redshift 10 and 11 galaxy population estimates. And along the way, showed full 2-d modeling of the 3DHST grism spectroscopy images. I am impressed by how good this looks, and this was shown again by other speakers. McLure pointed out that much of the disagreement about luminosity functions at redshift 10-ish are really disagreements about how the data should be presented; there isn't nearly as much disagreement at the data level. This is a pet peeve of mine: Often debates happen at punchline level, or in the latent space, when the only points to argue about live in the space of observables.

Treu and Smit both spoke about using lenses to find very high-redshift sources. In answer to a question from me about reliability of galaxy population statistics given observations of highly magnified sources, Treu emphasized that once you have highly magnified sources, the lens model is very strongly constrained. That said, he emphasized that the volume as a function of magnification is not well constrained at high magnifications. Smit showed that at finite angular resolution, naive interpretations about galaxy emission processes depend strongly on resolution. She could make this point securely because (with lensing) she has multiple views of the same galaxy, at different angular magnifications.

Ocvirk and Wise and Beckmann all spoke about insanely large computational programs to simulate high-redshift galaxies. The first two each had tens of millions of CPU+GPU hours on national facilities! Ocvirk talked about tracking the radiation along with the matter, which is a hard problem (and, indeed, even with 7 million hours per run they are only doing the fluid approximation). Beckmann talked about tracking the accretion onto black holes, by adaptively refining the hell out of the simulations around seed black holes. She finds (numerically) that the BHs are thrown from the halos at early times and has to add drag to keep them in. Apparently there is a history of doing this in simulations, but it sounds a tiny bit suspicious to this (untrained) outsider.

In side conversation, Chuck Steidel (Caltech) asked me a good question: Do any of the APOGEE stars have such high alpha-to-iron that they could be understood with pure core-collapse nucleosynthetic origins? That's worth checking out.

Megan Bedell showed me results this week that the velocity measured for a star by HARPS appears to be correlated with the pipeline-determined wavelength solution parameters. That's bad! But also good! Because it may give us way to improve the end-to-end calibration of radial velocities. We started down the path of looking at train-and-test regression, where we fit the relationship in all but a held-out exposure, and apply the relationship to the held-out exposure in a (gasp!) data-correction step. Or something along those lines to avoid over-fitting. Of course the right thing to do might be to fit everything at once, including the radial-velocity curve generated by exoplanets, but I don't think the exoplaneteers would like that so much.

In a full day at MPIA in Heidelberg, I spoke at length with Jan Rybizki (MPIA) and Sven Buder (MPIA), along with Hans-Walter Rix and Melissa Ness. Jan's project is to work on nucleosynthetic models; he has upgraded his code to generate what I call "shot noise"—the noise arising from the fact that in small star-formation regions, the number of supernovae can be small enough such that chemical enrichment does not approach the expected mean. We discussed first papers, observing that many of our plans could be executed with just the Sun and Arcturus and a few other standards; we need accuracy more than we need numbers for many first projects. My first project with Rybizki's code is to look at chemical-abundance diversity. I'd like to pose a well-posed question that makes use of the power of APOGEE.

Buder's project is to produce chemical-abundance labels for GALAH spectra using The Cannon. The problem, as per usual, is to obtain a good training set. We discussed the SME code that he is using and how we could wrap it or repurpose it. He showed us a beautiful set of results that show that when a star in GALAH gets low likelihood under the trained model of The Cannon, it is almost always interesting: A binary, a fast rotator, or maybe even a white dwarf.

Today I saw some good talks on approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) or likelihood-free inference (as it were). One highlight was Ewan Cameron's talk on epidemiology. He gave me two ideas that I could translate immediately into my own work. The first is a definition of "Indirect Inference", which (if I understand correctly) is exactly what is being done in cosmology that I have been railing against in my Inference-of-Variances project. The second is the (very simple: meaning great!) idea that one can trade off long-range-ness (as it were) of a Gaussian Process by complexifying the mean function: Put in a non-trivial, flexible mean function and the variance has less to do. That could be valuable in many of our contexts. One has to be careful not to use the data twice; I believe Cameron handled this by splitting the data into two parts, one of which constrained the mean function, and one of which constrained the GP.

Other highlights included Wentao Li showing that he could adjust ABC to give precise results in finite time when the data get large (unadulterated ABC gets impossible as the data get large, because the distance metric thresholds generally have to get smaller and acceptance ratios go to zero). Edward Meeds (in a move similar to things mentioned to me by Brendon Brewer) separated the parameters of the problem from the random-number draws (simulations usually have random numbers in their initial conditions, etc); conditioned on the random-number draw, the code becomes deterministic, and you can auto-differentiate. Then: optimization, Hamiltonian, whatever! That's a good idea.

Today was day two of ISBA, the big international Bayesian conference. In my session—which was on statistics in astronomy—I spoke about exoplanet search and population inferences (work with Foreman-Mackey, Wang, and Schölkopf), Xiao-Li Meng (Harvard) spoke about instrument calibration, and David van Dyk (ICL) spoke about Bayesian alternatives to p-values for physics and astronomy. Meng had very valuable things to say about taking an inference problem from the linear domain (where calibration multiplies linear flux) to the log domain (where log calibration adds to log flux). I learned a lot that is of relevance to things like self-calibration, where I think maybe we have been going to the log domain (very slightly) incorrectly! There is a half-sigma correction floating around!

van Dyk made the center of his presentation the five-sigma discovery of the Higgs Boson; he pointed out that five-sigma is very conservative in principle, but the fact that it has been applied to as many hypotheses as there are relatively different Higgs mass options makes it less conservative. This isn't trivial to deal with if the only question is whether or not there is a Higgs. He solved the problem in some Bayesian contexts and compared to frequentist multiple-hypothesis solutions. Interestingly, he isn't against using p-values in the discovery context (especially when billions of dollars of public money are at stake); 5-sigma p-values are conservative, and (more importantly) perceived to be conservative!

Overall, the storyline and conversations are better fleshed out, and this version is truer to the comics. The largest additional addition is that of Hollis Mason's death, which is spectacularly directed to the score of the Intermezzo from the opera Cavalleria Rusticana (think Godfather III).
(1) Rorschach gets additional dialogue, some straight from the comics.
(2) When Rorschach searches the Comedian's apartment shortly after the opening scene, he encounters two cops still stationed there. He fights briefly with them before jumping back out the window.
(3) Conversation between Dan and Rorschach (beans scene) is extended.
(4) All flashbacks extended, with the exception of Sally's.
(5) Dr. Manhatten discussing the symbol on his forehead. Additional questions in the face to face with Dr. Manhatten. Dan and Hollis watch Dr. Manhatten go crazy on their TV set.
(6) Laurie getting interrogated by the military as they try to determine Dr. M's whereabouts (on Mars). Alessandro Juliani's (Lt. Gaeta from Battlestar Galactica) scene has been reinserted. He plays one of the scientists who bursts in during the interrogation of Laurie to tell the military that they've located Dr. M on Mars.
(7) Probably the biggest addition is the depiction of Hollis Mason's death at the hands of the knot heads. Interestingly, the death is done from poor Hollis' POV, where he imagines himself fighting the gangsters of the 1940s.Read more ›

First, it looks cool. Nice details, looks 'properly used'. But here's the thing. After I unpacked it I noticed a slip of paper at the bottom of the box. It described how to replace the batteries in the Nite Owl Ship. Wait... BATTERIES?
So I then discovered the ship is made to easily come off it's stand. Under it there is a battery compartment. It requires a small Phillips head to open. I opened it to confirm... yup a battery compartment with two batteries!
But for the life of me I could not figure out what the Nite Owl Ship was suppose to do! I saw no switch. So I even tried talking to it... nope, no voice recognition.
*** spoiler **
Finally... I figured out the top plate (circular on the very top) is a hidden switch! You press it... and it lights up (detail lights and bright main front lights)! And, for about 5-10 seconds... it makes the SOUNDS of the Nite Owl Ship flying around! The lights stay on until you press the hidden switch again...
This ended up being much more than advertised! :)
And of course the movie is great... but you already know that (or else what the heck are you reading this for)!!!
I agree with the other reviewers who note the film's ending is an improvement over the book's. It just makes more sense in the context of the story. This is not a knock on Mr. Moore, of whom I am a big fan.
I don't understand the folks who are so down on this film, unless it is that they just had the wrong expectations and/or didn't do their homework before watching it. It was never meant to be another Spiderman, Superman or Hulk story.
Kudos to Mr. Moore. Kudos for the team who produced this film.

There's been increasingly heavy falls of snow over the past 48 hours in the Alps with resorts like Flaine reporting 5cm of fresh snow yesterday and Courmayeur 20cm today, Austrian areas are expected to get it next – particularly those at higher altitudes.
Saas Fee in Switzerland, which is open to mid-May before a six week closure and then re-opening in July through to May 2013, has also had 20cm/eight inches of new snow.
It's all part of an Easter trend towards cooler temperatures following the long warm spell. However most areas are in relatively good shape for April compared to most years thanks to the heavy December/January snowfall building up big bases.
Elsewhere in the world there's been heavy snow in parts of Scandinavia, with the leading resort in the region, Are in Sweden, reporting 10 inches of fresh in the past 48 hours, and some little known places up north more than six feet in the past seven days.
In North America it's fairly dire in the east with only six areas remaining open of the 100+ ski resorts there due to the warm temperatures in the region. In the west the Tahoe area has had big falls again in the past week but it's a bit more iffy in Colorado. Further north Whistler has had another 1.5m in the past week and is well above its seasonal average.
I don't know if the opening / closing dates for the 2012/13 season are known yet.
The lift company has some financial problems; turnover was down 7.5% last year. The largest share holder has recently replaced most of the local directors with outsiders and is about to embark on a cost cutting program. Personnel costs are 20% more than they should be.

For Cleo Berry, the people dying of the Spanish Influenza in cities like New York and Philadelphia may as well be in another country—that's how far away they feel from the safety of Portland, Oregon. And then cases start being reported in the Pacific Northwest. Schools, churches, and theaters shut down. The entire city is thrust into survival mode—and into a panic. Headstrong and foolish, seventeen-year-old Cleo is determined to ride out the pandemic in the comfort of her own home, rather than in her quarantined boarding school dorms. But when the Red Cross pleads for volunteers, she can't ignore the call. As Cleo struggles to navigate the world around her, she is surprised by how much she finds herself caring about near-strangers. Strangers like Edmund, a handsome medical student and war vet. Strangers who could be gone tomorrow. And as the bodies begin to pile up, Cleo can't help but wonder: when will her own luck run out?
Riveting and well-researched, A Death-Struck Year is based on the real-life pandemic considered the most devastating in recorded world history. Readers will be captured by the suspenseful storytelling and the lingering questions of: what would I do for a neighbor? At what risk to myself?
An afterword explains the Spanish flu phenomenon, placing it within the historical context of the early 20th century. Source notes are extensive and interesting.
A Spring 2014 Indies Introduce New Voices selection
The day that Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London to start a new life at boarding school is also the day a series of brutal murders breaks out over the city, killings mimicking the horrific Jack the Ripper spree of more than a century ago. Soon "Rippermania" takes hold of modern-day London, and the police are left with few leads and no witnesses. Except one. Rory spotted the man police believe to be the prime suspect. But she is the only one who saw him--the only one who can see him. And now Rory has become his next target. In this edge-of-your-seat thriller, full of suspense, humor, and romance, Rory will learn the truth about the secret ghost police of London and discover her own shocking abilities.
Just when life can't get any more disastrously crazy, Harper finds out who she's charged to protect: David Stark, school reporter, subject of a mysterious prophecy and possibly Harper's least favorite person. But things get complicated when Harper starts falling for him--and discovers that David's own fate could very well be to destroy Earth.
With snappy banter, cotillion dresses, non-stop action and a touch of magic, this new young adult series from bestseller Rachel Hawkins is going to make y'all beg for more.
After her near-fatal run-in with the Jack the Ripper copycat, Rory Devereaux has been living in Bristol under the close watch of her parents. So when her therapist suddenly suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance to get back to her friends. But Rorys brush with the Ripper touched her more than she thought possible: shes become a human terminus, with the power to eliminate ghosts on contact. She soon finds out that the Shadesthe citys secret ghost-fighting policeare responsible for her return. The Ripper may be gone, but now there is a string of new inexplicable deaths threatening London. Rory has evidence that the deaths are no coincidence. Something much more sinister is going on, and now she must convince the squad to listen to her before its too late.
In this follow-up to the Edgar Award-nominated THE NAME OF THE STAR, Maureen Johnson adds another layer of spectacularly gruesome details to the streets of London that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
Rory and her friends are reeling from a series of sudden and tragic events. While racked with grief, Rory tries to determine if she acted in time to save a member of the squad. If she did, how do you find a ghost? Also, Rorys classmate Charlotte has been kidnapped by Jane and her nefarious organization. Evidence is uncovered of a forty-year-old cult, ten missing teenagers, and a likely mass murder. Everything indicates that Charlottes in danger, and it seems that something much bigger and much more terrible is coming.
Time is running out as Rory fights to find her friends and the ghost squad struggles to stop Jane from unleashing her spectral nightmare on the entire city. In the process, theyll discover the existence of an organization that underpins London itselfand Rory will learn that someone she trusts has been keeping a tremendous secret.
Makiia Lucier has a B.A. in journalism from the University of Oregon and a Master's in Library and Information Science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where she studied literature for children. She lives in Moscow, Idaho, with her family. A Death-Struck Year is her first novel.
