Irina Bokova champions UNESCO ideals at Summit of South-East Europe
At her address to the Eighth Summit of the Heads of State of South East European countries in Istanbul on 23 June 2010, UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova emphasized the Summit's significance for the Organization.
ODG NEWS (23.06.2010) : She stated: "Over the past eight years, these Summits have led to a constructive and engaging meeting of minds. Each one has demonstrated your joint commitment to cultural cooperation as a privileged avenue for building stability and security in the region. More fundamentally, they reflect a commitment to shared values that are inherent to the process of European integration: respect for human rights, democracy, rule of law and cultural pluralism. UNESCO is proud to be a partner in this ambitious political, social and cultural journey."
In the margins of the Summit, Irina Bokova had talks with high-level government officials of South East Europe present in Istanbul.
The Director-General held a productive meeting with Turkish President Abdullah Gül at which they discussed the importance of UNESCO's activity, underscoring the role of education, science and culture in development. President Gül recalled his address to the 35th General Conference of UNESCO and his call to continue investing in these vital areas.
Highlighting the International Year of Rapprochement of Cultures being celebrated in 2010, Irina Bokova spoke of Turkey's important role in promoting tolerance, which emanates from its rich and diverse history. She expressed her appreciation for the country's significant contribution to the Alliance of Civilizations (AoC) initiative, and noted the strong new Memorandum of Understanding that UNESCO recently signed with the AoC.
Irina Bokova visited the premises of the Research Centre for Islamic History, Art, and Culture (IRCICA) where she discussed matters of mutual concern with its Director-General, Dr Halit Eren. With Mr Kadir Topbas, Mayor of Istanbul, she exchanged views about the rich cultural heritage of the city and shared the commitment to balancing the development of large urban centres and safeguarding local heritage.
The Director-General also met with President Parvanov of Bulgaria and Ministers of Foreign Affairs of countries participating in the Summit.

Bright straw-green. Enticing aromas of flowers and white peach. Nicely balanced riesling with honeyed flavors of apricot, tangerine and minerals. The persistent finish features overt minerality, not unlike sucking on wet stones dipped in honey. In other words, my kind of wine.

Racing regulations are constantly on the mend, and rule changes mean teams must react. With the Le Mans GT2 class now turned into the GTE Am and GTE Pro groups, Spyker is preparing to concentrate on its new GTE-spec C8 Aileron.
Spyker Squadron is the Dutch company's works racing division, and it's turning efforts towards prepping the new C8 Aileron GT for competition in 2012. There's not much information available at this time, but we know the Aileron will be replacing the current C8 Laviolette GT2R. This also decision means Spyker will not take part in any factory motorsport campaigns in 2011.
"We will develop the car for the new GTE class, although after its first season we will assess whether there is sufficient demand to develop a variant to FIA GT3 specifications," said Peter Van Erp, Spyker Squadron managing director. "This would be relatively straightforward and would increase the potential customer base for the car and associated race support package. We are already attracting customer race teams wishing to buy an off-the-shelf car, with enquiries arriving from Europe and the Far East."
In the interest of self-sustainability, selling to and assisting privateer Spyker teams will be important to Spyker Squadron's commercial viability. Last week, Spyker worked out a deal to sell its road car business to British CPP Global Holdings, netting a cool 32 million euros ($44,200,000). Spyker made the move to focus on rebuilding Saab, necessitating the deal. CPP Global Holdings paid 15 million euros ($20,700,000) up front, and is shelling out the last 17 million euros ($23,500,000) on a six-year payout schedule.
Spyker's best racing season came in 2009, when the C8 Laviolette GT2R took two second-place class finishes in the Le Mans Series. The car also claimed 5th in class and 25th overall in the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans.

China Develops 100-Megapixel Camera
Latest Camera Reviews
The Institute of Optics and Electronics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a camera with a 100-megapixel square-format sensor. Apparently, the IOE3-Kanban is not designed to compete with high-resolution medium-format digital backs such as the Leaf Credo 80 or the Phase One IQ280 - its main areas of use include areial photography, disaster monitoring and high-dynamic-range imaging. The device, which takes 10240x10240-pixel photographs, can be used in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +55 °C.

I'll wait for a better design! :)
you have a mistake in your article, the camera isnt 102400x10240, but 10240x10240
nokia will use in the new phone :)
Would love a sensor this size in my canon 5d mk iii! this is crazy amounts of pixels, wonder what the image noise is like?
Thanks for spotting that typo for us. We have corrected it now.
I'm sorry, but Nikon D800 has 36 MP which is only 3 times less but it's also 5 times smaller, 10 times lighter and about 1000000 times prettier.
The name is weird, too. Kanban means "just in time" in Japanese. Just in time for WHAT?
At what altitude can you see someone move their arm while on the ground with this camera?

Celebrating 2 Billion Little Golden Bookstoddler-times
If you've been a kid, have a kid or know a kid, chances are you've seen a Little Golden Book. With more than 2 billion printed since the colorful hardbound books hit shelves in the '40s, it's no wonder the Eric Carle Museum is giving them a send-up this month.
The picture book art museum is celebrating 65 years of Golden Books (although technically the series dates back to 1941) with a series of exhibitions. With the help of the National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature, the museum is presenting the most extensive public showing ever of original illustration art from the Little Golden Books. That will include pictures from books dating back as far as the twelve original titles:
- The Poky Little Puppy
- Three Little Kittens
- Bedtime Stories
- The Alphabet A-Z
- Mother Goose
- Prayers for Children
- The Little Red Hen
- Nursery Songs
- The Golden Book of Fairy Tales
- Baby's Book
- The Animals of Farmer Jones
- This Little Piggy
Now owned by Random House, there are more than one thousand two hundred unique Little Golden Books titles in circulation, more than two billion physical books printed. Selling for $2.99 apiece, they follow the tradition started by their creator, George Duplaix, president of the Artists and Writers Guild, Inc., who wanted to create a children's book that was affordable for any family.
The museum's exhibitions will include face-to-face meetings with The Poky Little Puppy and presentations by Golden Book authors. Check out the Golden Legacy site for dates and times.
And check your shelves, then come back to tell us – how many Little Golden Books are lurking there?

The destination is something like an hour or so motorcycle ride from the usual sun, beach and sea pictures of Maui, but it's one of the most beautiful spots on the island. Tucked in lush gardens cultivated for three-quarters of a century, Kula Hospital perches thousands of feet above the South Maui shoreline.
Old trees nearly engulf the bunkerlike building designed by C.W. Dickey and constructed in 1935 as part of the nation's efforts to turn the tide of the Great Depression. It was built to last. Three-foot-thick walls were designed to be an earthquake-proof refuge for suffers of tuberculosis.
Until the 1960s, the hospital was largely self-sufficient with its own farm providing vegetables, fruit, pork, beef and dairy products. The old fields are long sweeps of green pasture anchored by Keokea. The historic Chinese village, with its two churches, two stores and a popular county park, sits at the end of Kula Highway. Straight ahead is the serpentine road to Ulupalakua. Angle left and a steep, uphill drive wanders up to the hospital.
The need for tuberculosis treatment ended with the development of sulphur drugs. In 1976, Kula San became Kula Hospital, providing long-term and emergency care along with other medical programs. The beauty and tranquility of the place underlines its isolation.
The 200 or so employees are a loving ohana, but still, for many of its largely elderly and disabled patients, the hospital can be a lonely place with predictable routines. For the past several years, members of the Maui Chapter of Street Bikers United Hawaii have been turning one day in December into a party, a chance to share the joy of Christmas with residents and staff.
Bikers, many of them close to the age of the residents, gather at Cycle City in Kahului at 9 a.m. on the day before the annual Toys for Tots run. A special feature of the Kula San prelude is the number of wheels involved. There are an uncounted number of bikers on Maui who have taken to riding three-wheelers.
There's one big difference between riding a standard, two-wheeled motorcycle and one that is a "trike" or side-car "outfit." The trike has one wheel up front and two behind. The "outfit" has a passenger chair attached to the side. Two-wheeled bikes at rest have to be held up. Three-wheelers will stand on their own.
Last year:
It was a picture-perfect morning. A little on the cold side in Kula. A heavy jacket felt good in the 55-degree chill. A sunny spot on a rock wall in the hospital's parking lot was a good place to wait for riders from down country to arrive.
Aides wheeled some 10 patients out to a garden. There was the muted rumble of bikes coming up the long driveway. The riders backed their steeds into stalls reserved for visitors and the "night shift." One solo rider had a guitar lashed to a sissy bar.
Patients were wheeled up to see the bikes in all their chrome-gleaming glory. They and staffers were given the opportunity to go for a ride. The guitar was unlimbered and a Christmas sing-a-long was held. It was a much appreciated break from the day-to-day routine, especially for those patients without immediate family.
The trike run proved a good opportunity to combine a fun ride Upcountry with a chance to spread a little Christmas cheer.
Three-wheel riders are being encouraged to take part in the Kula San trike run Dec. 15. That gives you plenty of time to get your trike or sidecar rig lookin' good and running sweet. Meet at 9 a.m. at Cycle City on Dairy Road in Kahului. Cruise up the mountain. Have some fun in one of the most beautiful places on the island.
It's also a chance to make the 11th Annual Maui Toy Run Motorcycle Parade a two-day event. Street Bikers United is collecting unwrapped toys as part of the United States Marine Corps Reserve's 2012 Toys for Tots in partnership with the Salvation Army of Maui County.
The Sunday, Dec. 16, ride starts at 11 a.m. in the Walmart parking lot in Kahului, makes the cruise to the Lahaina Cannery Mall via Front Street and returns to the VFW Post in Kihei for a post-ride party. It's Maui's biggest Harley party of the year, but riders of any sort of motorcycle are welcome. Bring a toy or some cash. Donations are tax deductible. See sbumaui.org/toys for more information.

This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court took action in another case brought by Foundation staff attorneys. Instead of issuing an order granting or denying cert in the case, the High Court invited the U.S. Solicitor General to file a brief in the case Harris v. Quinn. That request shows that the Justices are interested in the case.
The case stems from a legal challenge initiated by eight Illinois homecare providers with the help of National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys against executive orders issued by Illinois Governor Pat Quinn and his disgraced (and now incarcerated) predecessor, Rod Blagojevich.
Quinn and Blagojevich issued executive orders aimed at forcing unwilling homecare providers into a union. Under the Governors' decrees, personal care providers are considered "public employees" for the purposes of union organizing, a move that has since forced thousands of unwilling care providers into the SEIU's forced dues-paying ranks.
The providers, including lead plaintiff Pam Harris (interviewed in the video above), are challenging the executive orders on the grounds that forcing them to affiliate with a union and subsidize union activities violates their rights to free expression and association.
The U.S. Supreme Court will now decide whether or not to hear the case this Fall, after the U.S. Solicitor General files a brief.
For more information on the case, check out the Foundation's Supreme Court petition. You can also read amicus curiae briefs filed in support of the Foundation's petition from the Cato Institute and the Pacific Legal Foundation.

Stephen Leacock's "Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town" Festival
The City of Orillia, Ontario will the 100th anniversary of Stephen Leacock's "Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town" with a three-day celebration, August 17-19, 2012.
The Sunshine City Festival will feature all things 1912, offering a glimpse of Orillia's heritage and life as it was in Ontario and in Canada at the time Leacock's renowned story collection first appeared in print. Everything from horse and buggy rides to antique cars, from live music and theatre to a heritage carnival, will be on display at Couchiching Beach Park on Orillia's beautiful waterfront.
You'll be able to get an old fashioned shave, see a 1912 fashion show, hear authentic turn of the century songs and see vaudeville-style performances as well as enjoy a slice of homemade pie or an ice cream float. And of course Stephen Leacock will be there too.
"We're beating the bushes for all kinds of displays, exhibits, collections and performances including demonstrations of crafts, skills and trades, all with a 1912 theme," said Leacock Museum curator Fred Addis.
Orillia's chief champion and promoter, Mayor Angelo Orsi added "It's a chance for us to celebrate our heritage and to mark the achievements of our best-known and most prominent Orillian, Stephen Leacock. Everyone's invited and we're hoping the community will get on board for what's sure to be lots of fun and entertainment."
Leacock's beloved and mythical Mariposa has captivated the imagination of Canadians and readers around the world for 100 years. His little book about a small town and the characters in it defined our uniquely Canadian sense of humour and began a tradition in comedy that has spanned the decades.
Numerous events on the Orillia calendar will celebrate Sunshine Sketches, but the Sunshine City Festival will be the best chance for visitors and tourists to see, hear and taste the heritage of the Sunshine City all that was 1912.
Keep an eye on the museum website at www.leacockmuseum.com and at Orillia.ca for further information on the Sunshine City Festival, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town and all things 1912.

N.D. Morgan (MIT), L. Wisotzki (Hamburg)
Optical searches for single-galaxy gravitational lenses make use of the so-called "magnification bias" effect: since a lensing event boosts the observed flux from the source quasar, lensed quasars are systematically brighter than unlensed quasars of similar redshifts. A quantitative description of this effect not only aids in the discovery of new lenses, but can help in discriminating cosmological models based on lensing statistics.
In this study, we present magnification bias calculations using a newly determined quasar number-count function as derived from the combined Hamburg/ESO, LBQS and AAT quasar surveys. We compare these new bias calculations and the resulting quasar lensing probabilities to existing lensing statistics studies and discuss its implications for forthcoming gravitational lens searches in new major quasar samples.

I was contacted this week by the ESPN affiliate in Dayton Ohio to go over the Texans needs and possible draft scenarios. It was a fun interview that is slated to go on the air during their draft show next week so as soon as I get a copy of the interview I will post it.
I was also fortunate enough to get to interview one of my favorite draft prospects coming out in the 09 draft class. I want to run the interview today since we are in a bit of a holding pattern due to my blackberry storm touch screen going out, slowing down your comment approvals. My lap top where I keep all of my NFL draft notes and videos battery decided to go out as well. Sorry about the technical difficulties they all should be resolved today by the Fed Ex man, and the nice people over at Verizon Wireless Willowbrook shortly.
I would like to wish all of you and your families a very Happy belated Easter.
On to football.
Andy Levitre is an offensive line prospect out of Oregon State. He is the number 1 prospect at guard in this years draft on my board. Andy red shirted in 04, he worked his way into the starting lineup with the Beavers and has played at both tackle spots and left guard. Levitre projects out to play guard in the NFL. There are teams that will grade him lower because he tops out in the 305 range, but that's ideal for the zone scheme so I have him graded higher than Robinson, Urbick, Vasquez, and Johnson out of LSU.
Andy is a very durable player and stared 35 straight games, he graduated early with majors in sociology and finance.
Watching Andy play you will notice a quick first step out of the stance which is ideal for the zone play, his angles are very good, and what I like most about him is what he hits he moves. He does a good job on reach blocks and shows the ability to take the hard step, get his hat across the body then shuffle for the wall off or cut the defender and put them on their face. He's got that nasty streak you like to see in offensive lineman and shows good technique in his hand placement, punch, and finishes gets his assignments right.
Andy Levitre Interview
Question #1. You played every position at Oregon State along the offensive line with the exception of center. Which position was the most challenging, and which spot did you enjoy the most?
I enjoyed playing all of the positions. Guard and Tackle both had their own different challenges. Guard is a lot quicker contact and moving larger guys but at Tackle you have to go against all of the great athletes with great speed and it requires covering more ground.
Question #2 Where do you see yourself playing at the next level?
I can see myself playing at any of the five offensive line positions. People say I don't have the size or arms for tackle but I know that I can hold my own at tackle if a coach gave me the chance. I haven't played center yet but I know that I am good enough of an athlete to where I could play center and I am more than willing to get more work at it.
Question #3 Your team got off to an 0-2 start for 2008 before you got your first win against Hawaii. What was the mood of your team heading into the heading into the big home game against then ranked #1 USC?
After starting the season at 0-2 we knew that we were a better team than we had been the past two weeks and that USC wasn't just going to hand us a win. We had a solid week of practice and listened to the USC fight song throughout the week in the weight-room and during practice to make sure that people knew what we were up against for the week. Everyone on our team played a great game and that is a great film to watch to show that it takes all eleven guys on the field every snap to win a game.
Question #4 How did that feel to beat those guys on your home field.
It was our second time beating USC at home in the last 3 years. It always feels great to beat a team that is considered the best in the nation and knowing that we can play with the best in the country. It's hard to put the feelings into words but that game is something that I will always remember the rest of my life.
Question #5 If I were to ask your to name a defensive player that challenged your game, or brought the best out in you who would that have been?
I felt that the guy who gave me the most trouble this season would be Paul Kruger from Utah. He is a great player with great strength and power. He uses his hand very well and knows how to shed blocks very well.
Question #6 How much experience have you had with zone blocking?
We ran a lot of zone blocking throughout my career. In fact, all we really ran against USC this season was our inside zone play. I feel very comfortable with zone blocking and find that if you have a good enough offensive line then just about any running back can gain some yards running the zone.
Question #7 Your combine numbers graded out very well, were you happy with your performance or were there any areas you think you could have done better?
I was fairly happy with my numbers. There were only a couple of areas I felt I could have done slightly better. The broad jump, the 20-yd shuttle and my 40 yard dash. I could have run in the 4.3's on my shuttle and thought I could have jumped 9 feet in the broad. On my 40, I felt like if I had a better start I could have lowered it in the 5.1's but I have no complaints for my workout. It was a solid performance and I feel like I got the chance to show the coaches that I am an athlete and that I love the game of football.
Question #8 What teams have contacted you for visits? Did any stick out in the interview process.
I have visited Buffalo and San Diego so far. I had a visit to Cleveland that was canceled and I have a trip to Denver, New Orleans and Pittsburgh set up in the next week and a half. I had a workout with Denver a couple of weeks ago and also had coaches from Philadelphia, Carolina and Atlanta work me out at Pro Day.
Question #9 When you got into college, what was the area you needed the most work on, and how did you attack it?
I felt like I had the athletic ability but my technique and strength needed to improve. My offensive line coach Mike Cavanaugh helped me develop my skill and teach me how to be an offensive lineman. I feel like I improved because of my dedication, hard work, coachability and desire to want to become the best.
Question #10. Are you aware that the Texans have one of the best offensive line coaches in the NFL in Alex Gibbs, and just added Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews to the staff (Not trying to sway you or anything, but we don't have any state taxes either)?
Yes, I met with Coach Gibbs and some of the Texans staff at the NFL Combine and I believe he knows some of my coaches from Oregon State. I really enjoyed my visit with the staff and got along very well with them.
end of interview
Here are some highlight videos of Andy Levitre.
Left tackle
Right tackle.
I'd like to thank Andy for taking time out of his busy schedule to do an interview with a lame ole fan blogger. Id also like to thank his brother Erick Levitre(who was a pretty good offensive lineman at Arizona) as well. I'd also like to wish Andy the best of luck as he moves on the NFL, and that I'd love to see him playing in the deep steel blue at Reliant Stadium for our Texans.

What does the man who has everything buy to accessorize his offices? What else but designer refrigerators. P. Diddy bought six of the appliances (at $420 apiece), created by the makers of the hip-hop drink of choice, Hpnotiq, and had them installed into the executive offices at Bad Boy records. "They are souped-up versions of the mini fridge you would have at college," says a rep for Hpnotiq. And they come stocked with plenty of the blue alcoholic beverage, a blend of vodka, cognac and tropical fruit juices.
"I am usually really boring on New Year's," Will & Grace star Megan Mullally tells the Daily Insider. "My husband and I just stay home." But this year, Mullally – along with fellow Golden Globe nominee Scarlett Johansson and other celebrities including Mark McGrath, Freaky Friday's Lindsay Lohan, Chloe Sevigny, Chris Noth and Mona Lisa Smile's Dominic West – got dolled up and headed to New York club Lobby for M&M's Black and White New Year's Eve party. "I'm not jaded enough not to really enjoy this party," Sugar Ray singer McGrath said. "I just met (The Fast and the Furious star) Jordana Brewster. My heart's on the floor." Lohan looked very grown-up in Dolce & Gabbana heels and a black minidress. "I'm a little self-conscious because it's so tight," she confessed.
Proving she can do more than Scream, Neve Campbell helped develop the dance movie The Company, as well as starring in it. "Getting the film made was a big challenge," she said at the film's recent New York premiere. "As a female doing a project that's about a ballet company, it's not the easiest sell." One colleague who was certainly impressed was Richard Gere. "Ballet is next (for me)," kidded the actor, who will strut his stuff with Jennifer Lopez in Shall We Dance? this fall. "It's the only thing I haven't done."

Greg Kihn Band
Long one of the most popular and sharpest club attractions around San Francisco, the Kihn band has yet to click nationally despite five albums and periodic cross-country forays. The LPs haven't captured the sensuous assertiveness of the group's live sound, a fact Kihn has admitted. He and producer Matthew Kaufman have tried to make this disc, in Kihn's words, "literally jump off the turntable at you." That it does, and the assault is enjoyable. Kihn's cover version of Tommy Roe's 1962 hit Sheila ("Sweet little girl/That's my little Sheila/Man, this little girl is fine") defines his genre. Though derivative, the music pulsates with varsity sexiness and clean-cut melodic charm. With Rockihnroll, Greg may finally Kihnnect.

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
If you're looking for a cute and creative craft idea for your daughter's next birthday party, check out this Stamp Art Lollipop Bouquet project from Jenni Bowlin Studios, great for decorating a party table or even as a thank-you gift! It's a fun and easy craft project for kids to make anytime, and the stamping is such a unique way to let their imaginations run wild.
- JBS Mercantile 3 inch x 3 inch Seal stamp
- JBS Mercantile 3 inch x 3 inch Blue Ribbon stamp
- JBS Mercantile 3 inch x 3 inch Butterfly stamp
- JBS Mercantile Lemon Drops Ink Pad
- JBS Mercantile Chewing Gum Ink Pad
- JBS Mercantile Cough Syrup Ink Pad
- JBS Mercantile Yellow Rhinstone Bow embellishment
- Red ribbon
- White cardstock
- Scissors
- Glue Dot
- Egg shaped foam
- Small Wooden Box (from craft stores)
- Green Family Tree paper
- Various lollipops
- Place stamp on Lemon Drops Ink Pad. Stamp on to white cardboard and cut out. Snip a little piece out of the image.
- Fold the two ends of the seal stamp together and attach with a Glue Dot. This creates a cone shape that will form around the lollipop better than a flat image.
- Poke a hole in the center where the lollipop will go.
- Stamp solid image of the 3" x 3" Blue Ribbon stamp onto white cardstock with Chewing Gum Ink, and top it with the outline stamp in Cough Syrup Ink.
- Cut out the image and poke a hole in the center (but don't stamp the tails of the Blue Ribbon, just the circle).
- Layer stamped images together and poke a lollipop down through the hole. Take a piece Family Tree paper to cut the green polkadot leaves and attach them under the lollipop flower.
- If your lollipop is flat, you can adhere the flower underneath it and add the 3 inch x 3 inch Butterfly stamp. Top with Yellow Rhinestone Bow embellishment.
- Take wooden box and wrap with red ribbon. Fill the bottom with foam to hold the lollipops.
- Cut an egg shaped foam in half and adhere to bottom.
- Poke the dressed-up lollipops into the foam.

I was fortunate enough to complete an internship at Anthology Film Archives as the institution engages in digital initiatives across its collections of film, video, and audio during the spring semester of 2012. My objective was to assist the Digital Archivist, Erik Piil, in developing digitization workflows for film, video, and audio preservation by creating test patterns for system calibration and implementing standards of operation. The 14-week internship at Anthology allowed for a deeper understanding of digital preservation and the value of avant-garde collections in archives and programming.
I was trained in the practical application of analog and digital preservation at Anthology. I honed my technological and theoretical research skills by being responsible for developing tests and executing them for measurable outcomes. Digital preservation concepts were introduced to me, from basic notions of responsible file naming conventions to the complexities of transcoding digital files. I gained many practice hours on the Pro Tools software package for use in an archival setting, in addition to getting acquainted with the functions of a rack of decks, patch bays, and monitors.

Four Games that Tackle Serious Issues
Every day I was at the three-day Games For Change conference this week, I learned about new and innovative games built to suit the needs of education and social change. I could have written about almost all of them, but here are four that are especially noteworthy to those of us thinking about building games for news.
Simulations Let Readers Experience Stories for Themselves
Cameras were not present to capture Tiger Woods pulling out of his driving and hitting a fire hydrant, then a tree in 2009, nor to see his wife smash a car window with a golf club and drag Woods out of the vehicle. So to simulate the events of the story, a Taiwanese news service called Next Media Animation created an animated video of the ordeal, complete with shattering glass.
Since then, the company has produced similar videos based on celebrity news and even breaking news. At the time, I thought that these videos might actually catch on, and simulated reality would fill in the gaps when we couldn't get real video footage. But they didn't, at least not in the United States.
Yesterday at the Games For Change Festival's day-two demo session, I saw a game in progress that took animated scenarios to a new level, and it really opened up some ideas for journalism.
What News Nerds Can Learn from Game Nerds, Day One
Today was the first day of the 10th Games for Change Festival, a conference in New York organized by Games for Change, an organization that seeks to create games with a positive social impact.
If you think about it, positive social impact is a goal that's similar to ours as journalists. Naturally, as I listened to the diversity of presentations today dedicated to social reach, education, impact and even fighting censorship, I found many lessons that apply to what we're doing in newsrooms.
New Maps and a New Plan for New York
FEMA's released new, preliminary flood insurance maps for New York City, which specify how likely areas are to flood. The new maps, which replace maps that used data from 1983, double the number of structures in flood zones.
Mass Surveillance in America: A Timeline of Loosening Laws and Practices
The evolution of the National Security Agency's dragnet under Presidents Bush and Obama.

Design Principles for News Apps & Graphics
While the tools and techniques to present large datasets in graphics and news apps may differ from project to project, the basic design principles stay pretty much the same. Many might pretty familiar – even if you've never studied design formally, you probably know some of them instinctively. Let's name them, explain why they work and see how other designers use them. Once you recognize the concepts, you'll become more conscious of when and how to use them in your own projects.
News Applications Fellow
We're looking for the next great News Applications Fellow to work with ProPublica's world-class news applications desk.
It's a great fellowship for, among others, a coder who's civic-minded and interested in working with journalistic problems and data sets, or a j-school grad who wants to tell stories with code, or a digital humanities student looking to try their skills in journalism. You'll work side-by-side with the best newsroom developers on the planet, on some of the biggest and most innovative projects in investigative and data journalism. You will leave here a better journalist, a better designer and a better developer.
Your Hospital May Be Hazardous To Your Health
As part of our ongoing investigation into patient safety, ProPublica reporters Marshall Allen and Olga Pierce produced this interactive story in collaboration with PBS Frontline and Ocupop during a May 11-16 hackathon.
Prescriber Checkup
Medicare's popular prescription-drug program now serves more than 35 million people, but the names of prescribers and the drugs they choose have never previously been public. Use this tool to find and compare doctors and other top prescribers in 2010.
Nonprofit Explorer
Use our database to find almost 616,000 tax-exempt organizations and see details like their executive compensation, revenue and expenses, as well as download their tax filings going back as far as 2001.
Resources for Investigating Tax-Exempt Organizations
In addition to our Nonprofit Explorer interactive database, here are some resources for researching charities and other tax-exempt organizations.
A Super-Simple Tool to Search Instagram by Time and Location
This week, Justin Elliott wrote about new House Financial Services Committee chairman Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) attending a weekend getaway with banking industry officials.
One of the ways he found out who was at the getaway was by using the Instagram photo sharing service, which turned up a snowy snapshot taken by Len Wolfson, a lobbyist for the Mortgage Bankers Association (which had contributed to Hensarling's PAC). Wolfson has since set his account to private.
The Instagram site has no search function, so finding shots like this can take a lot of digging. However, Instagram has an API with a "Media Search" endpoint that returns data both by timeframe and distance from a certain latitude and longitude -- a perfect way to see who's at a certain place at a certain time.

HeartSaver: Experimenting with News Games to Tell a Story
This past weekend, a team from ProPublica competed in the GEN Editors' Lab New York hack day, with the theme "Newsgaming." We learned how to use game mechanics to create an interactive experience that went beyond badges and reputation systems to explore a complex accountability story in fun and engaging way. Seriously, our game is really fun.
Here's what we learned (and produced!) in two days.

Hakkasan Mayfair Has Glamour, Style -- Food's Good Too: Review
There's a theory that Hakkasan has floundered since the departure of Alan Yau, the Hong Kong-born entrepreneur (and Wagamama founder) who created London's most chic Chinese restaurant in 2001 and sold it in December 2007.
The new owner, the Abu Dhabi-based Tasameem group, is opening outlets around the world -- Miami, Abu Dhabi, Mumbai and (briefly) Istanbul -- and now comes a second in London. Hakkasan Mayfair seats 145 in a basement dining room and another 75 on the ground floor, where it's lighter and brighter than the original. It's luxurious and expensive.
My theory is that Hakkasan is still exceptional, from the quality of the restaurant fittings and design -- by Paris-based Guillaume Richard -- through the cocktails (the Pink Mojito, the Hakkatini and the Jasmine Fon Fon spring to mind) to the cooking of Executive Chef Tong Chee Hwee.
There's no loss of direction: It's just that the prices, which you barely noticed in the dim lighting of the mother ship, jump off the page now that those go-go days of large bonuses and generous expense accounts have given way to less fun. The list of Champagnes alone makes me nostalgic.
Service can sometimes appear frosty, yet once my guest (the Chinese chef Ching He-Huang) and I started chatting with a waitress on one visit, she was friendly and visibly relaxed. A friend went there and saw someone tip the coat-check girl 50 pounds ($81), which presumably also brought a smile.
Hefty Bass
The food prices can be as scary as the wine list. Stir-fry Chilean sea bass (or Patagonian toothfish as it's affectionately known) with Sichuan pepper, sweet basil and spring onion, weighs in at 35 pounds; stir-fry Welsh black beef with pied bleu mushroom and osmanthus flower wine is 33 pounds. That's before you wander into the territory of Wagyu-beef-this and foie-gras-that, the kind of territory I normally like to occupy.
If you're on a budget, which most of us are these days when sober, the dim sum platter is so good at 13.50 pounds, it's worth ordering two. The har gau prawn dumplings -- the translucent case containing a fat prawn -- are a favorite, maybe with a side order of prawn wonton in hot-and-spicy sauce or hot-and-sour soup with chicken, shiitake and pomelo.
New dishes at Mayfair -- where the kitchen is twice the size of the Hanway Place original -- include black-truffle roast duck (28.80 pounds) and steamed New Zealand mini-lobster wrapped in glass vermicelli (35.80 pounds.)
The stir fries such as black pepper rib-eye with merlot, and ostrich in yellow-bean sauce and stir-fry Peking-style duck are enjoyable dishes. I know I'm asking for trouble saying this, but I also enjoyed the sweet-and-sour Duke of Berkshire pork with pomegranate. (Sweet-and-sour is a British dish in the same way that chicken tikka masala is, and I like them both.)
You don't go for authenticity or tradition: You go for fun and flavor, and Hakkasan can supply both in spades if you are open minded and rich. It's a scene, as Nobu, Zuma, Sketch and C London are in their different ways. If you don't enjoy hanging out with the beautiful people, you may feel irritated.
I'm a fan.

Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies is calling for scholarly and creative works for a special issue on gender, place, and politics. The editors envision papers that range from the impact of place upon the gender dynamics of local politics to those that ask questions about how the growth of global politics has affected gender.
Frontiers has been pushing the boundaries of feminist scholarship since 1975. An interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary journal, it has been particularly concerned with the multicultural experience of women in the American West.
Now Frontiers is moving to Arizona State University where it will acquire new editors, Susan Gray and Gayle Gullett. In Arizona Frontiers will continue exploring topics in women's studies and will examine new kinds of border crossings. The new Frontiers will both embrace the West and move beyond national boundaries; it will look at the relationships among place, region, and topics of longstanding concern to feminist scholars—gender, race, ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation. This special issue will inaugurate Frontier's new geographical and intellectual location.

Help the Coast Guard Help Kiteboarders
Just as a great Central California session was wrapping up earlier this spring, a few of us on the beach noticed a kite tumbling downwind outside the surf line. The kite's owner decided it would be too difficult to get the kite back and it continued its tumble downwind out of sight. A few hours later, I received a call from Coast Guard Lieutenant Ana Thorsson, who was coordinating the search for a kiteboarder they assumed was missing.Read More »

I believe a well-balanced life begins with letting Another lead.
This painting depicts the difference between what I see as the balanced and unbalanced life. It shows the joy of letting another Person influence our thoughts and actions so we can experience meaning and purpose. As we allow Him to control our decisions and actions, we accomplish tasks otherwise unattainable by ourselves.
Inside this coffee shop, we look through a bottle of water on our table and witness a father enjoying a cup of coffee with his son on the other side of the room. They talk about life issues and develop a close connection while sipping on lattes. The son values his dad's guidance and wisdom.
To the left sits a son with his back turned against his dad. Yeah, he's sitting next to his dad with his elbow on the table but he's not engaging in conversation. He's perfectly content to turn a cold shoulder toward his dad who cares for him. He rejects being led because he would rather do things his own way.

Retail and food services sales increased a seasonally adjusted 0.2% to $427 billion for August, according to a Commerce Department report (link opens as PDF) released today.
After sales headed up a revised 0.4% in July, analysts were underwhelmed by August's results, having expected a similarly sized 0.5% gain.
When excluding more volatile automobile sales, August's numbers are slightly more in line with estimates. Auto sales increased 0.9%, putting retail sales, less motor vehicles, at 0.1% growth compared to analysts' 0.3% expectations. Gasoline station sales, often a more volatile variable, stayed steady for August.
Outside of these two sectors, miscellaneous store retailers led sales with a 1% increase, while building material & garden equipment dealers fell behind with a 0.9% drop.
Over the last year, retail sales are up 4.7%. Motor vehicle & parts dealers take the sales cake with a 10.9% gain, while gasoline stations lag in last place with a 1.5% decline in sales.

Editor's note: Ken Stevens is multimedia specialist for MLive Muskegon Chronicle. He has worked for the local news organization for 27 years.
MUSKEGON, MI -- The entire photo staff had the opportunity to experience various weather-related stories this past week.
MLive multimedia intern Natalie Kolb spent the majority of her weekend covering the storm damage in the area on Saturday, April 12 and Sunday, April 13.
As for MLive multimedia intern Madelyn Hastings, she began her week in the snow on Monday, April 14 covering the MLive Team of the Week, the Western Michigan Christian girls soccer team, facing Whitehall. Hastings then covered flooding along the Muskegon River around Maple Island Road on Tuesday, April 15.
On Wednesday, April 16, reporter Heather Peters and myself were fortunate enough to ride along with Muskegon County Undersheriff Dan Stout and his son, Sgt. Dan Stout II, to get a closer look at the rising Muskegon River mostly along the Muskegon and Newaygo county lines on Maple Island Road.
Peters did live updates during the trip to give an up-to-minute account of the damage. When we turned off Maple Island Road onto Bayne Road in Muskegon County's Cedar Creek Township, I could see someone in the distance driving toward us.
I could see this person, which turned out to be Kathy Benson, would have to drive through a large puddle to get to where she was going. I photographed her using my Canon 70D camera with a 70-200 mm f/2.8 lens shot at 1/1000 of a second at f/5 set at ISO 100. She then told us she was on her way to get gas for a generator that was running a pump in an effort to remove the three feet of water from her basement.
It was so sad to see all of the water taking over the area and doing so much damage to everyone's homes.
On a different note, it was interesting to watch crews remove damaged pieces of slate tile roofing from the towers to the Amazon Building dangling from cranes on Thursday morning, April 17.
Hastings battled the elements on the soccer field for the first soccer game of the season covered by MLive Muskegon Chronicle.
"This week was filled with extreme weather conditions ranging from sunny days, snowy sporting events, and flooded communities," Hastings said. "I was assigned to cover a soccer match between Western Michigan Christian and Whitehall Monday evening. I was aware the weather forecast called for unusually cold temperatures for this time of year, but I was completely shocked when snow began to sprinkle on my camera lens. Foolishly of me, I packed away my winter boots for the season once April crossed our calendars. By the end of the game, I found myself soaked from the unexpected precipitation, but I was happy to find winter wonderland-themed soccer photos on my camera screen.
"The celebratory reaction shots from Western Michigan Christian scattered with snowflakes all around the players made me truly thankful I suffered the cold of the game," Hastings said. "I had some concern that my cameras weren't taking to the chill as the night progressed, but in the end, they held up great and produced nice, snowy images. The girls were tough during their first game as they slid all over the field, and I'm sure they will keep playing hard throughout the season."
Hastings then went to document the flooding.
"After getting notice of the evacuation in the Cedar Creek Township area due to river flooding, I ran out to see if I could capture a few images. I was lucky enough to arrive at Maple Island (Road) just as the Road Commission was about to close off the road," she said. "Very kindly, one of the drivers took me down where the majority of the damage was caused, and I was able to look around.
"I was shocked by how high the water was around some of the houses in the area. I can't imagine what this community is going through at this time, and I sincerely hope everyone is staying safe until it gets cleared up. Seeing houses, businesses and roads completely emerged in water is a devastating sight, but hopefully my images can bring awareness to the evacuation."
Kolb experienced first-hand the bad weather as it approached the area on Saturday afternoon, April 12 and then covered the cleanup work the next day.
"I couldn't believe the damage Muskegon County and surrounding counties sustained this weekend," Kolb said. "Driving into Muskegon after the storm was surreal -- stoplights were out, branches were everywhere and trees were down on almost every block I drove through. I went back the next day when people began cleaning up the fallen trees and debris from their yards. The sense of community was incredible; neighbors came out to help each other during a time of need."
Kolb had a much more festive assignment photographing Peters' Easter installment of the Spunky Kitchen.
"I had a fantastic time taking pictures of Easter cooking at the Culinary Institute of Michigan. My favorite image from that day is of Heather Peters, statewide food columnist for MLive, hugging her daughter, Briar," Kolb said. "We had just gotten into the kitchen and it was one of the first shots of the day. Heather didn't realize I was taking pictures, which makes the picture feel natural."

Spurious curvature oscillations and bumps are suppressed.
Constrained fitting for airfoil curvature smoothing (CFACS) is a spline-based method of interpolating airfoil surface coordinates (and, concomitantly, airfoil thicknesses) between specified discrete design points so as to obtain smoothing of surface-curvature profiles in addition to basic smoothing of surfaces. CFACS was developed in recognition of the fact that the performance of a transonic airfoil is directly related to both the curvature profile and the smoothness of the airfoil surface.
In CFACS as in most of the older methods, one seeks a compromise between smoothing and exact fitting. Unlike in the older methods, the airfoil surface is modified as little as possible from its original specified form and, instead, is smoothed in such a way that the curvature profile becomes a smooth fit of the curvature profile of the original airfoil specification.
CFACS involves a combination of rigorous mathematical modeling and knowledge-based heuristics. Rigorous mathematical formulation provides assurance of removal of undesirable curvature oscillations with minimum modification of the airfoil geometry. Knowledge-based heuristics bridge the gap between theory and designers' best practices.
In CFACS, one of the measures of the deviation of an airfoil surface from smoothness is the sum of squares of the jumps in the third derivatives of a cubic-spline interpolation of the airfoil data. This measure is incorporated into a formulation for minimizing an overall deviation-from-smoothness measure of the airfoil data within a specified fitting error tolerance.
CFACS has been extensively tested on a number of supercritical airfoil data sets generated by inverse design and optimization computer programs. All of the smoothing results show that CFACS is able to generate unbiased smooth fits of curvature profiles, trading small modifications of geometry for increasing curvature smoothness by eliminating curvature oscillations and bumps (see figure).
This work was done by W. Li and S. Krist of Langley Research Center.

Outside Kermit Gosnell's Women's Medical Society clinic in West Philadelphia, prosecutors would eventually call what went on there murder.
Inside the red-brick property it was "routine procedure."
"Did you know it was murder?" Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore asked ex-clinic worker Lynda Williams, referring to the clinic's practice of "snipping" the spines of babies born live during abortion procedures.
"No, I didn't," said Williams, 44, who told the Philadelphia jury hearing Gosnell's murder trial on Tuesday that the doctor's "standard procedure" was to "ensure fetal demise."
Williams said Gosnell assured her what she saw was "involuntary movement, a last breath" and that abortion drugs had already doomed the fetus which was in its second trimester of 12 to 24 weeks.

Botnets are networks
of compromised computers that are controlled remotely and secretly by one or
more cybercriminals. If your computer is infected with a botnet it
can perform automated tasks over the Internet without your knowledge. These
tasks often include sending out large numbers of spam messages to people in
your contact list.
Microsoft is committed to fighting botnets
through technological advances, guidance, and legal efforts. In February of this year Microsoft helped
take down the Waledac botnet in an effort known internally as "Operation b49."
Judge to award
domains to Microsoft
Last week the District Court of Eastern Virginia granted
default judgment in favor of Microsoft, awarding the 276 domains once used by
the Waledac "bot-herders" to Microsoft to help ensure those domains are never
used for cybercrime again.
This victory for
Microsoft could change the way industry and governments around the world fight botnets.
The cleanup effort
Microsoft is now
in phase 2 of Operation b49, which includes cleanup and resolution. It's still
very early in the cleanup process, but the goal is to help people clean up as
many infected computers as possible.
To support the
botnet cleanup effort, Microsoft launched a special page devoted to helping you
clean out your computer if you think it's been infected by a botnet.

Summer is a time to get things done in Kate Gosselin's household. "I'm home now, post Dancing with the Stars, here I go," she said during Sunday's double episodes of Kate Plus 8.
The first order of business: construction of a chicken coop and starting her own little egg farm. "I buy four, five, or more dozen eggs a week," she said. "That's it, we're getting chickens."
And so they did – with the help of Farmer Dave and Farmer Dan, who trucked in an easy-to-assemble coop for 16 chickens and one rooster.
The whole clan pitched in to help, a phenomenon Kate dubbed the "Farmer Dan Effect."
"The kids were willing to carry pieces of the coop and in no time all of those pieces were in the field," she said. "These are moments that make me very happy. The kids were suddenly very willing to participate ... It was a family event – we're putting together our chicken coop."
The boys, Collin, Aaden and Joel, enjoyed other things as well, like naming the chickens – Fluffy, Fuzzy, Furry – and pondering the concept of farm animals: "We're never going to eat our pet chickens," they decided.
Once the coop was put together, Kate saw an opportunity in the act of cleaning it out. "There's going to be chicken poop on here and you have to help pull it out and I'm going to give you things to scrape it off," she said. "Whoever disobeys will be assigned this chore."
Also on the agenda for the summer: power-cleaning the outside of the house, checking its water filtration systems, paparazzi-proofing the area of the yard – "I'm willing to spend whatever it takes so the kids will have privacy when they're playing," Kate said. "We've decided to buy a lot of trees and shrubbery," – and writing and compiling the Gosselin Household Systems & Maintenance Manual: Everything a Single Mom Needs to Know to Run Our Little Piece of the World.
As a way of celebrating their hard work and their first egg harvest, Kate decided to make a special dinner of egg salad sandwiches, deviled eggs and egg custard. The family enjoyed the dinner but it got off to a disgusting start when they went to retrieve the eggs and found a bloodied rooster.
"The poor thing was henpecked," Kate said. "There's possibly some irony. We've got issues with roosters."

alloway halloween
Tonight at 7 p.m., one of the county's oldest traditions will kick-off entertaining visitors of all ages.
Nearly 100 entries have been made for the parade including floats, bands, antique cars, dance troops and thrilling costume marchers.
Parade Marshals are Carol and Riley Williams
Halloween-lovers will stride down the parade's traditional route starting on School Lane, continuing up to the center of town onto East Main Street, down Alloway-Friesburg Road and wrapping up by Fulton Bank.
Highlighting the end of the parade will be the announcement of the Alloway Halloween Parade Queen. Entrants between ages 14 and 18 will do a pre-parade interview and ride through the parade. This year, there are six contestants.
Residents can display their costumes for prizes if registered to march in the parade for judging. Costumes will be flashed and shown off at the judges stand and focus in on four different categories — three age and one group.
Participants can register in the 0 to 5, 6 to 10, 11 to 15, and 16 to adult age groups. Additionally, residents can sign up for a theme group category.
Last minute costume marchers can register.
The Alloway Halloween Parade first made an appearance to the township in 1945 and after a nine-year hiatus, returned in 1969.
The parade has always been a success.
The Alloway Parade Committee hosts the parade every year through fundraising approximately $20,000 and volunteers in hopes to have the best parade in Salem County.
For more information, please visit the parade website at www.allowayhalloweenparade.com.
