One of the characteristics that has defined St. John's University since its founding in 1870 is a commitment to service. As a Vincentian university dedicated to reaching out to others, St. John's has always embraced opportunities to make a difference for those among us whose needs are great.
Photo Gallery
One of the University's most meaningful initiatives is Annual Service Day, a time when students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of St. John's come together to serve those less fortunate members of our community. This year's event was held on Saturday, September 25, 2010 and, as in the past, alumni participation was significant.
Service Day activities began as Rev John A. Kettelberger, C.M., Director of Residence Ministry, addressed the volunteers on the Queens campus and Rev. Patrick J. Griffin, C.M., Executive Vice President, Mission did the same on Staten Island. Both thanked the participants and reminded them of how appropriate it was that they were embodying the spirit and carrying out the mission of St. Vincent de Paul just two days prior to his feast day.
Reflecting the various needs of the community surrounding the Queens campus, alumni took part in a variety of activities that included interacting with the patients at Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, assisting with cleaning and painting at the Elohim Community Development Corporation and reaching out to the homebound through a local visitation service.
"It was gratifying to see our alumni coming back to St. John's to give service to others in so many different ways," said Mark Andrews, Associate Director, Office of Alumni Relations. "It's obvious that the University's Vincentian values are an important part of their lives, and our society is better because of it."
Melissa Kuch '05CPS participated in Service Day by helping with landscaping and outdoor beautification activities at the Bayside Senior Center. She saw it as a way to put her Vincentian values into practice. "As a student at St. John's, we learned that the Vincentian ideals mean that we have to give back, especially now after being out in the real world," she said. "It's nice to be with friends and other alumni and really help the community."
Working alongside Melissa, Eunice Baptiste '88SVC was grateful for the opportunity to show her appreciation for what the University has done for her by reaching out to others. "It's important for me to come [to Service Day]," she noted, "because it allows me to give back to the community and also back to St. John's, that made me what I am today."
Staten Island alumni traveled to the Carmel Richmond Nursing Home, where they brightened the day for 40 senior citizen residents by working with them on autumn-themed tasks designed to help the residents get into the spirit of the season. The volunteers and residents also sang together throughout the day, creating a festive atmosphere that was fun for everyone.
For Oscar Suarez '09TCB, spending time at the service site gave him an insight into the lives of individuals he might never have come into contact with otherwise. "This was my first Service Day experience," he said. "It opened my eyes to see how the elderly live their daily lives and go about their daily activities."
At the end of the day, the alumni were grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others. "I truly connected with the residents at Carmel Richmond," said Michelle Oberfeld '03TCB, "and hope they gained as much from today as I did. I'm looking forward to serving again."
For additional information about how you can render service to others throughout the year, please call Mark Andrews, Associate Director, Office of Alumni Relations at (718) 990-5897 or e-mail email@example.com.
For additional information about how you can render service to others in the Staten Island area, please call Nicholas A. Legakis '97SVC, '07MPS, Director, Institutional Advancement, Staten Island at (718) 390-4146 or e-mail email@example.com.

Newsroom Magazine is publishing news content today. Sharing what's happening in Washington with readers world-wide is our purpose and our mission. We respect Internet content publishers who have chosen to bail-out, boycott, or go dark in protest over the K-Street Industrial Complex' ham-handed attempt at copyright protection absent equally clear protection for freedom of speech rights.
Newsroom Magazine calls on Congress to kill both the SOPA and PIPA bills.
The Internet is a complex and often difficult to understand medium. Few who use this medium grasp how important the Internet has become to economic growth. Or how Internet-enabled freedom of speech has changed the world.
Newsroom Magazine supports legislation that equally values the needs and interests of all Internet content stakeholders.
Property rights are important. But no more so than freedom of speech and expression. As long as both are protected the Internet can continue to empower the disenfranchised, even as it affords others the opportunity to profit, share, inform, teach, entertain, lie, cheat, or misdirect.
Today, the Internet is at risk by way of SOPA and/or PIPA bills pending in the U.S. Congress. The purpose of the proposed legislation is to end wrongful exploitation of copyrighted materials by persons or organizations, especially those offshore, who seek to wrongfully profit from the intellectual property of others.
Intellectual property rights are of importance to both Internet users and publishers for the right to profit from one's own work is central to freedom of information.
The pending legislation should be scrapped in favor of joint development of a new bill based on hearings and consultations by and among content copyright owners and Internet operators, publishers and content providers.

Before the debate, Governor Andrew Cuomo told reporters that he would be cheering on President Barack Obama. But he stopped short of answering questions regarding other races across the state. YNN's Nick Reisman has more.
As Democrats try to gain a foothold in their fight to reclaim control of the state Senate, Governor Andrew Cuomo declines to back a full takeover of the chamber by his own party.
"I want the Senate that the people of the state elect," Cuomo said.
Instead, Cuomo urges voters to back candidates they believe to be the best for the job.
"Vote for a person. I'll endorse Democrats. I'll endorse Republicans because I endorse people who I believe who are in the best interest of the people of the state of New York."
Of course, Cuomo believes the best candidates are the ones who line up with his own policies, including a two-percent cap on property taxes, a signature economic achievement from his first year. It has even led some Republicans to include the governor in their campaign ads.
Cuomo said Tuesday he would endorse candidates who agreed with him regardless of party label.
"You're a Democrat, I understand that and theoretically we are both Democrats, but you oppose everything that I am trying to get done. So what is the point that we happen to share this political label?"
Cuomo has endorsed one Senate Democrat in a close race - Joseph Addabbo of Queens. Initially opposed, Addabbo backed the governor's same-sex marriage law in 2011.
The governor also said he would endorse Senator Roy McDonald, a Republican who backed the marriage law, had he decided to run on the Independence Party line after losing his GOP primary.
"I think you've seen the Governor be very selective and look at each race and each candidate on their own merits," said Stephanie Miner, Democratic Party Co-Chairwoman, on Friday.
Who controls the Senate after Election Day could determine whether there is a special end-of-the-year session. The governor says he would refuse to back a legislative pay raise without lawmakers approving a large package of measures, such as an increase to the minimum wage and a reform of New York City's stop-and-frisk laws.
"I would not even consider – even consider – a legislative pay raise unless the peoples' business was being done in a thorough, responsible way," Cuomo said.
A Cuomo endorsement means a lot to any candidate, especially in some districts, where the Governor's approval rating approaches 80 percent.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Friday, November 9, 9 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Hynes Athletic Center (2,611) -- New Rochelle, New York. Television: ESPN3.com. Home Record: Denver 0-0, Iona 0-0. Away Record: Denver 0-0, Iona 0-0. Neutral Record: Denver 0-0, Iona 0-0. Conference Record: Denver 0-0, Iona 0-0 . Series Record: Iona leads, 1-0.
GAME NOTES: Denver hits to road to open up the 2012-13 season, when the Pioneers invade New Rochelle to face the Iona Gaels.
Denver is coming of a season in which the team posted 22 Division I wins, a school-record. With seven players returning, including four of the top five scorers from a year ago, this season could raise the bar even higher.
Iona is also coming off a strong campaign, going 25-8 and making an NCAA Tournament appearance. Coach Tim Cluess, in his third year with the Gaels, looks to build on last year's success, but with the loss of some key personnel, it won't come easy.
These teams met last year for the first time in history. Iona won the game 80-78 in overtime at the buzzer.
The Pioneers, who took second in the Sun Belt Conference a year ago, look to begin another strong season with a roster full of talent. Sophomore forward Chris Udofia was voted a member of the preseason All-SBC First-Team after being voted the SBC Defensive Player of the Year last year as well as being part of the All-SBC First-Team. Last year, Udofia was fourth in scoring in the Sun Belt Conference at 14.5 points per game. He also led the team in assists (2.6 per game), blocked shots (2.3 per game), and field goal percentage (.534). He is joined by sophomore forward Royce O'Neale (team-high 5.8 rpg), senior guard Chase Hallam (2010-11 All-SBC Second Team selection) and sophomore guard Brett Olson (second in three-point percentage in the SBC at .456). With a great nucleus, Denver has a chance at another strong season.
The Gaels and Cluess will have to make up for the talent lost. The Gaels, who led the nation in scoring last year at 82.9 ppg, were also third in field goal percentage, shooting an outstanding .502 from the field. Losing Mike Glover (18.3 ppg. 9.0 rpg) and Scott Machado (13.6 ppg, 327 assists) will definitely put a damper on those numbers. There are two players that will carry the load this year and both are qualified to do so. Senior Lamont Jones (15.7 ppg) and junior Sean Armand (9.5 ppg) were both voted to the Preseason All-MAAC Team and are the two top returning scorers for Iona.
Denver will be sending a whole lot of talent out on the court Friday and Iona will have a difficult time matching it. Denver should even the series, with a big road win.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Denver 79, Iona 65

Theres a tremendous sense of loss a year after Goshen professors death
Click here to view in a gallery.
A memorial to James S. Miller stood in the lobby of the Goshen College Science building last year after Miller was killed in his home. Miller was a biology teacher at the college.
Truth File Photo By J. Tyler Klassen
Miller, a professor of biology at Goshen College, was killed early Oct. 9, 2011, during a home invasion at his 1736 Wildwood Court residence. Miller�s wife, Linda, was seriously injured in the attack but has since recovered physically.
As far as the investigation goes, progress is slow, but police continue to push forward in the case.
According to a release from the Goshen Police Department, the Indiana State Police Laboratory is still processing evidence collected from the scene.
�The search for DNA must be done meticulously,� the release explained. �Given the tremendous amount of evidence to inspect and test, it seems painfully slow to those of us waiting on the results.�
The release also stated that tips continue to filter in through Crime Stoppers and the department continues to investigate them.
But while the police continue their investigation, the painful memories and questions return to the forefront of the minds of those closest to Miller. And healing hasn�t always been so easy.
�This last year has just been plain hard,� Linda Miller said. �There�s a tremendous sense of loss.�
Though her physical injuries have healed, the pain of losing her husband, and the father of their children, doesn�t go away.
�Your heart aches,� she added.
Support has poured in, including cards, gifts and especially prayer.
�We know people have been praying because our lives are different,� Linda Miller said.
She added that police continue to keep her updated on the investigation and she hopes that the attacker will soon be caught. �I think it would bring some closure to a painful situation,� she said.
Despite the enormous loss she suffered, Linda Miller gains strength from a deep-seeded faith in God.
�We have trusted God to carry us through, and he has. In many ways I�m at rest because I know when Jim was dying, God was with him.�
And though she thinks there is little potential for something good to take from the tragedy, she hopes she can get there one day.
Healing has also been a long road for the Goshen College community, where Miller had been a professor since 1980.
Because Miller�s murder came in the midst of the school year, it was difficult to find time to properly reflect on the feelings people had. �We tried to create space for mourning but it may not have been enough,� said Ryan Sensenig, associate professor of biology and environmental science at Goshen College.
For Sensenig, who worked with Miller for five years, that space was found in the spring and summer, when educational obligations were their lightest.
But while Sensenig says it�s easier now to talk about and celebrate Miller�s life and work, the magnitude and weight of the tragedy remain.
Faculty and students are still working through the feelings of losing a teacher and colleague, but Sensenig said the community�s response has been instrumental in his healing journey.
�Life has so many paradoxes. One of those paradoxes is that light is brightest in darkness,� Sensenig explained. �I was floored and awed by people�s compassion.�
The college had filled the hole left by Miller�s death with an emergency professor to complete the fall semester and then had an adjunct professor close out the 2012 school year.
In July, the college hired Dr. Kris Schmidt as a full-time professor to take over Miller�s classes.
Sensenig noted that Schmidt has large shoes to fill, but that he is equipped for the job. �Kris is someone Jim would be pleased with,� he said. Sensenig said that much like Miller, Schmidt has high expectations for his students and a passion for research.
Some things, however, can�t be replaced. When asked what he remembered best about Miller, Sensenig smiled and began talking about his colleague�s inquisitive nature and his penchant for spreading it through the department.
�Jim personified this chronic optimism of life and he had his own way of exemplifying it,� he observed. Sensenig explained that people have different methods and tools at their disposal to do what they can to make the world a better place. �Jim�s tools were data and spreadsheets,� he conluded.
�I would hear the little pitter-patter of his steps coming down the hall and think, �I wonder what Jim has for me today,�� he said with a laugh.
�Healing is not a smooth journey,� Sensenig said. �It can still be tough. The reality of it kind of comes and goes.�

Pakistan wobble in Dubai
10:50am Wednesday 23rd October 2013 in National Sport News © Press Association 2013
Imran Tahir took three wickets as Pakistan lurched to 60 for six on the first morning of the second Test against South Africa in Dubai.
Along with Tahir's triple, Dale Steyn, passed fit after a hamstring strain threatened his participation at the Dubai International Stadium, claimed two wickets as his importance to the Proteas was underlined.
The hosts had been making a cautious start but when three wickets fell with the score on 60 it put a different complexion on matters, as South Africa moved into the ascendancy.
Pakistan entered the game with a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series following a seven-wicket victory in the first Test in Abu Dhabi.
However, they made a poor start when Khurram Manzoor was out without a run on the board.
Manzoor went for a flamboyant cover drive from an outswinging ball from Steyn, getting a thick edge which flew to Faf du Plessis at gully.
Steyn was unleashing some deliveries reflecting his status as the world number one-ranked bowler, Shan Masood and Azhar Ali facing balls travelling at speeds of up to 140km/h.
Pakistan were making patient progress and had reached 38 when Azhar was out to Morne Morkel.
Morkel bowled a full length which Azhar came forward to play and replays showed the ball would have clipped leg stump, the batsman out lbw for 19 off 54 deliveries.
Pakistan were then reduced to 52 for three when Masood was bowled by Tahir (three for 17) after making 21 off 60 deliveries.
After a cautious start Pakistan were wobbling and things went from bad to worse when they lost three wickets for no runs after reaching 60.
Younis Khan was first to go for 10 off a full delivery from Steyn which the batsman pushed lamely to AB de Villiers for a simple catch.
Tahir then claimed his second wicket three balls later when Misbah-ul-Haq was caught low on the pad to be lbw for just two, the decision vindicated by replays.
Tahir was on fire and three deliveries later he claimed his third wicket of the session when his full ball to Adnan Akmal clipped leg stump.
The batsman was out for a duck and had faced just three balls, lunch coming to Pakistan's rescue after a miserable first session.

Looking foward to reading the new edition. Hope it is more like the novelization and covers the stories that make the storyline complete.
Admitedly I may have been a little bit harsh.
But make no mistake I just hate that crappy newsreal type paper and everything about it. It takes no time before it starts to fade and my hands feel dirty after even touching it. It just reeks of cheapness.
I don't see how these images contradict what he says. The image below clearly show that its being printed on the crap paper. I don't care if its the same type of paper used in the DC Classics library collection (Death in the Family) its still crap.
Last edited by merrick97; 04-30-2012 at 10:49 AM.
I can make a comment on the paper along with the promised pictures tomorrow when my DCBS order arrives..
From the pic above, it looks like DC repeated the mistake of puting the 3 part Scarecrow SOTB tie-in between Knightfall parts 16 and 17 again. That page shown in the pic is from Tec 665, part 16, and the darker pages that follow are the SOTB story.
I never liked that about the original Who Rules the Night trade. It makes no sense to put the SOTB issues between parts 16 and 17 because that is right in the middle of the Tony Bressi story. Puting the SOTB story between parts 15 and 16 would make more sense story wise.
I can confirm 100% that the DC did indeed decide to use that godawful POS paper that I hate so damn much.
I am so raging mad right now. DC absolutely ruined the release that I was 100% looking most forward to. Absolutely ruined it. That paper is more worthless than toilet paper with crap on it.
For those of you on the fence about dumping your previous editions, my advice is to just save your money and keep the current TPBs. It has NOTHING extra aside from Vengeance of Bane, which you can get for MUCH cheaper in the Batman vs. Bane TPB with the better quality paper.
For those of you that love this type of paper, congratulations you got your wish. I have no idea why you would prefer a paper type that will fade in short while and is easily, but I guess "it feels like it used to" is what matters.
I am at least grateful that I didn't get rid of Broken Bat and Who Rules the Night.
Congratulations DC, you just lost a sale and thank you so much for doing the ONLY thing that could have ruined this for me.
But hey, those that love this paper are happy.....
Last edited by merrick97; 05-01-2012 at 11:37 AM.
I am quite happy with the release.
I'm not some big paper nitpicker. I have plenty of old trades that have held up just fine.
Vol 2 and Vol 3 will be more interesting though, with seeing how they order the stories and such.
DC discarded their history, and now has none. DC will always be in the shadows of their past work.
It does indeed have the lower quality TPB paper DC likes to use (not newsprint). I have never had a problem with this paper although I would prefer a higher quality paper I have old TPBs with this same paper and they still look like new.
Someone asked about the covers and it looks like they are at the beginning of each issue (I only skimmed).
Here are some pictures.
Also, those Shadow of the Bat issues are between 16 and 17.I agree it is a strange placement, skimming through they could have put them before 16 or after 17 and it would have been better. After actually reading I may change my mind.
Last edited by AaronStC; 05-01-2012 at 05:20 PM.
Has there been any announcement on what's going to be in the next two volumes? Any chance of Vengeance Of Bane 2 being in there, you think?
Quite happy with volume 1 myself, even if it does just collect two books I already own. No problems with the paper.
I don't understand how you guys can be happy with that crap paper. I really don't.
The colors fade, it smells hideous and leaves your hands with a nasty smell. Second-hand toilet paper is less crappy.
Like I said just hold on to Broken Bat and Who Rules the Night. This "crapollection" offers nothing over that aside from Vengeance of Bane which is already in Batman vs. Bane in much better paper.
I did save money though, so I guess I don't really have to complain.
IDK, maybe I'm just used to it, it is similar to the paper that was used before glossy became mainstream. I've never noticed any fading om my other trades with this paper.
That said, yes, I would have preferred a higher quality paper (matte finish over glossy though for this era).

The 12-12-12 benefit show for Hurricane Sandy was one of the coolest events I've ever experienced. I've photographed most of the bands before, but to see The Rolling Stones, The Who, Paul McCartney, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, and others all in one night was simply epic.
I even got to bring one of my famous photo students into the pit.
The day started like any other big festival show. As Bon Jovi's tour photographer, I made sure to set up a quick group shot after sound check showing the historical concert's logo.
(Nikon D3, 24-70mm lens, ISO 2500, 1/160, f/4)
But backstage, Jon Bon Jovi ran into his old friend Paul McCartney (JBJ calls him "Beatle Paul"). After a quick exchange, Jon gave him a smooch on the cheek.
(Nikon D3, 24-70mm lens, ISO 2500, 1/160, f/4)
On stage, Bruce Springsteen joined the band for "Who Says You Can't Go Home."

When the Rolling Stones took the stage, Jon wanted to see them perform. I've been giving him photo lessons so when we found ourselves next to the photo pit in front of the stage, I handed him my camera and said, "Want to shoot?" He immediately took me up on the offer.

While he enjoyed shooting the Stones and The Who, Jon kept putting the camera down to cheer like all the other fans.

Jon gave me a message to pass along to his fans.
"Photography is like golf, or so they say. One good shot and you're in. David Bergman taught me how to capture the shot. The rest is luck and a good subject. See you on the road."

Bon Jovi is posting some of my images on their Facebook page, with more to come soon.
"You're makin' it sound really sexy, David."

I used to think the secret to making a successful portrait was all about the light. But now I know that's not entirely true.
Last night, I had the opportunity to photograph some of the celebrities backstage at NBC's telethon, "Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together."
I knew I wouldn't have much time with any of the subjects, so I kept my light simple: a Dynalite 1000 w/s power pack with one big soft box at camera right and a second bare bulb behind me at camera left bouncing off of a white scrim for fill.
I shot with the Nikon D4 and 85 1.4 lens, usually around 100 ISO, 1/250 at f/16. I toned the final images with Nik Silver Efex Pro.
Of course, I have to be confident and competent with my gear, but I wasn't doing anything special on this shoot. A successful portrait isn't only about the light.
So what's the secret?
Human connection.
In most cases, I literally had less than a minute to shoot and was lucky to fire off 15 frames. So I needed to connect with each person on some level.
It started as we walked down the hallway together - I introduced myself and made a joke, or whatever seemed appropriate at the time.
When they finally stood in front of my lens, my job was to make them feel comfortable and immediately pull something out of them for the camera. I often use humor, because actual laughs are always better than fake smiles. But it's different for each person.
The best story I've ever heard about a photographer connecting with a subject is when Platon asked Vladimir Putin what it was like meeting Paul McCartney.
Even though my time with each subject was very short, I think there is some genuine personality in the images. And I didn't have to setup 6 lights with colored gels to get there.
I live in uptown Manhattan and my apartment was not damaged by the storm. But I have many friends downtown and in New Jersey and Long Island who will be facing the long road of rebuilding their homes and home towns.
I wanted to contribute in a meaningful way, so I'm donating all of my profit from licensing and print sales of these images to the American Red Cross. The photography business has been good to me for 25 years, so it's the best way I know to give back.
Thank you to NBC and the 10 talented artists who posed for me at 30 Rock in New York City.

That's London 2012 Olympic women's beach volleyball!
I've been producing super-high-resolution images at the Olympics since my opening ceremonies Gigapan, but this is one of my all-time favorites.
I created it during a match between the USA's Jennifer Kessy and April Ross and Switzerland's Simone Kuhn and Nadine Zumkehr.
I shot 200 frames using the 36-megapixel Nikon D800 and a 70-200mm lens zoomed to 200mm. Stitched together, the image resolution is 98,101 X 31,747.
That's over three billion pixels, or 3.1 gigapixels.
You can zoom so far into the image that you can see what color Kessy painted her fingernails.
When I produce these, I shoot every frame manually so I can make sure to get exactly what I want in the frame. I also spend a lot of time on the computer overnight, compositing the image together and adding/removing elements as necessary.
See the full women's Olympic beach volleyball Gigapan on the Sports Illustrated site.
Since opening ceremonies, I've also made Gigapans at gymnastics, swimming, and track and field. I have a few more planned, but this one is going to be tough to beat.
My first Gigapan from the 2012 London Olympics is now online. You'll find it in three different places.
It's on the official NBC Olympics website, Sports Illustrated's site, and it was even on the cover of Time.com earlier today.
I made the Gigapan by shooting 425 images in a grid pattern (25 across by 17 down) with a Nikon D4 and 200-400 f/4 lens (zoomed to about 310mm) in a Gigapan Epic Pro. Each photo is 16 megapixels so, with a little bit of overlap on each one, the final high-resolution image is 81,992 X 37,520—more than three billion pixels.
I've made a lot of Gigapans, but this was one of my toughest. I like to challenge myself - otherwise it would be boring - but I'll admit that I was sweating this one out a bit.
Since I shoot every frame manually, it can take 30-60 minutes to make one complete pass. I made one early in the ceremony when there was still some daylight and the crowd was nicely lit.
But I really wanted to have the athletes (and the Queen!) in the photo.
So when the athletes began marching into the stadium, I shot a complete pass for the sole purpose of getting the crowd. Those cool LED lights on the seats obscure some faces, but there was nothing I could do about that.
As the infield filled up, I went back and began photographing the athletes. At the very end, when everyone was finally there, I had about 30 seconds to finish up before they killed all the lights and went on with the show. I just barely got enough frames to make it work.
Overnight, I stitched together two complete Gigapans and then combined them so I had all the fans with the athletes on the field in the same photo.
The image is far from perfect as you'll find quite a few stitching errors. I fixed many of them but every time someone moves between frames, there's potential for a cut off head or half a body. Sorry to anyone I sawed in half.
I did make sure the Queen, William, Kate, and Harry all look OK! Otherwise they may not have let me out of the country.
In the end, I'm pretty happy with the result, considering that I stay up all night to get these massive Gigapans uploaded first thing in morning.
Tonight I'm doing another one at the swimming final. It's a smaller venue, which can be difficult, but at least I won't have to worry about cutting off the Queen's head!
Over the next three weeks, I'll be practicing what I preach to other photographers all the time:
Separate Yourself From the Pack.
In my public photo presentations, I talk about the importance of covering events differently than everyone else. There's no reason to go to an event and shoot it just like the other photographers who are there.
This week I begin covering the London Olympics, but not as a traditional still photographer.
This is my fifth Olympic Games (Nagano '98, Sydney '00, Salt Lake City '02, and Torino '06). At all the others, my job was to make storytelling photos at the events, like this shot of Michelle Kwan, who came up short in her bid to win a gold medal in Nagano.
This time, I'm working for both NBC and Sports Illustrated in two unique roles.
Each weekday morning, I'll be on the set of NBC's Today Show with my friend, legendary sports photographer Neil Leifer. He's doing portraits of the medal winners who come on the show (which is basically all of them). We're setting up a photo studio in a trailer and the athletes have to come to us before they appear on the air.
I'll be helping Neil with his Olympic portraits like I did when he photographed Muhammad Ali earlier this year.
I believe the Today Show will cut to Neil as they come and go from commercial breaks, so you might occasionally see us on the air.
Then at night, I'm producing Gigapan images at all of the big events. Since my Obama inauguration Gigapan, I've produced high-resolution panoramas at the World Series, the Super Bowl, the Final Four, NBA Finals, and even for Bon Jovi.
The plan is to do them at opening and closing ceremonies, gymnastics, track and field, swimming, basketball, and beach volleyball. They should be online the day after each event, and I'll post links and status updates on my Facebook page.
Working the Olympics for two of the biggest media companies in the world should keep me pretty busy, and I plan on staying as far away from the pack as possible.

Police in Pittsburgh, Penn., say Ken Konias is behind bars. They have been searching for him since they say he shot and killed his Garda Security co-worker, Michael Haines, on February 28, 2012. They also say he took off with two-point-three million dollars from the armored vehicle they were driving.
»The Full Story
Kenneth Konias, the armored car guard who police say killed his partner in Pittsburgh and stole $2.3 million dollars, was arrested in Pompano Beach, Fla. Investigators recovered more than $1 million dollars of the stolen cash and are hopeful to recover more.
Police say he made his way to Florida shortly after the murder. He began hanging around clubs in the area and befriended some club goers and eventually asked to move in. It is unknown whether his roommates knew Konias' true identity but police did receive a tip where he was living.
When they arrested Konias, he did not deny who he was. Police also report he has been very cooperative since his arrest.

Shanda Interactive Entertainment (SNDA) |
MMORPGs make up Shanda's largest reporting segment, with 82% of revenues in FY 2007.[4] However, these sales are largely earned from two MMORPG titles, Mir 2 and Woool, which were released in 2001 and 2003, respectively.[5] These two titles are nearing their end-of-life and as such the company has begun licensing new games from foreign companies in efforts to find a new blockbuster hit, in addition to its other operations (casual gaming, associated gaming sales, as well as the EZ initiative).
In 2007, Shanda was the #1 market player in the Chinese Online-gaming market by revenues[6] , despite its transition to a new business model, competing against The9 (NCTY), Netease.com (NTES), and other gaming operators that monopolize the time and money of many Chinese youths. The company chose to move from a pay-to-play model based on play time, to a new free-to-play model where revenue is earned from micro-transactions made in the game for premium content.[7] This move was largely made due to the end-of-life of their main titles. This move initially dented revenue and margins in 2006, lowering from ¥1,896.6MM (FY2005) to ¥1,654.5 (FY 2006), and operating margin from 33% to 23%.[8] However the margin structure has improved in 2007, with revenues growing 50% and margins expanding to 41%.[9] as the new-business structure matured and gamers be came comfortable with the new transaction model. It remains to be seen how the title end-of-life and the development of new businesses will play out in Shanda's future, but the markets' expectations for China's #1 online-gaming player are very high
The company generates revenue in three primary reporting segments.
Fore more information about the companies gaming titles, see the 20-F
Margin structure changes due to business model
Primary competitors are Chinese operators of online-games. Although there is some competition from Foreigners, they are limited by Chinese law from achieving market penetration, since any Mainland Chinese venture has to be more than 50% Chinese owned/operated. Therefore, Shanda's primary competitors are:
In 2007, the Chinese MMO market size was estimated at $1.66 BN.[16] The major players in this market were Shanda, Netease, Giant Interact, The9, and Perfect World. Shanda's Market share was approximately 20% by revenue generation.
China MMO Revenue Share ($MM) | 2007 |
Shanda | 338 |
Perfect World | 94.5 |
Netease | 265 |
Giant Interactive | 209 |
The 9 | 175 |
Other | 578.5 |
Total | 1660 |

The University of Colorado Department of Pediatrics is proud to offer 22 sub-internship and elective courses for fourth year medical students interested in Pediatric clinical experiences. These courses are generally four weeks in length and are structured to gauge a student's clinical abilities based on the core competencies. Our courses are appropriate for students who are interested in Pediatrics and supplemental to students who are pursuing other specialties.
These courses provide students with exposure to all aspects of pediatrics including general academic pediatrics, subspecialized care, inpatient medicine, emergency and intensive care, along with research courses and scholarly activities. Each course has its own course director who oversees the development and implementation of the curriculum for their respective courses. Many of these courses are open to visiting students who are currently enrolled in an accredited student program.
On the first day of the rotation we provide each student with an orientation manual. This manual includes key information about contacts, evaluations and grading criteria as well as course expectations.
Below is a list of the Pediatric Fourth Year Courses:
4 weeks
For more detailed information about each of the courses we offer, please view the School of Medicine Course Book (pdf). You can also visit the Office of the Registrar's website to learn how to register. Any specific questions about registering for a course should be directed to the University of Colorado School of Medicine registrar:
Our fourth year student program welcomes students from over 125 LCME accredited medical schools across the U.S.. We use the Visiting Student Application Service (VSAS), which is an online application service developed by the AAMC for senior "away" electives. Please check with your institution to see if they use this service. In order to register for a rotation with our program, you will need to submit a request through VSAS.
Osteopathic or international medical students who are interested in registering for one of our pediatric courses should review the University of Colorado Visiting Student webpage for a more detailed information about the application requirements. For additional information, please contact the University of Colorado visiting student coordinator:
The University of Colorado Department of Pediatrics is committed to advising any medical student who is considering a career in Pediatrics or Med/Peds. Dr. Jennifer Soep, who is the Clerkship Director for Infant Child and Adolescent Care and the Pediatric Phase IV Medical Student Director is happy to meet with any University of Colorado student that is contemplating a career in pediatrics. She can assist students with questions about career exploration, fourth-year scheduling, residency applications and specific information about residency programs. Students who are fully committed to a career in pediatrics are encouraged to meet with the Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics, Dr. Stephen Daniels.
In August of each year, the Department of Pediatrics hosts an evening meeting for all senior students interested in pediatrics. This is an opportunity for students to ask questions about selecting a residency program, preparing a CV, writing a personal statement and interviewing for a pediatric residency position. At this meeting, we provide students with a copy of the University of Colorado Pediatric Residency Preparation Manual.
